Sonic Youth :: KCRW 06.10.04

Sonic Youth: One of my longtime crushes. Their last two albums have not only been good, but some of the best music of their storied career. The latter of the two, 2004's Sonic Nurse, continues where Murray Street left off, expanding and riffing on familiar themes and motifs . . .

Maximum R&B :: The Who..The Kids Are Alright

"The Who is a bloody wild animal and it has to be fed chunks of raw meat and Southern Comfort. It can't feed on anything less." --Pete Townshend, New York Times, June 13th, 1974.The Who: bombastic, excessive, crude, vulgar, drunk, unfashionably fucking awesome. Through a vicodin haze (er, neck injury) I recently sat down to watch The Who's become a member or log in.

Kathleen Edwards :: Thanksgiving Leftovers

Long weekends are a slice of heaven. Long weekends coupled with Thanksgiving leftovers are one step closer. While going through some old records post-feast I happened upon Kathleen Edwards' 2003 debut Failer. Failer is one of those albums that sounds like an old friend you haven't seen in awhile, yet things pick . . .

Presently touring the West coast (played L.A.'s Hotel Cafe' last night) is Matthew Houck, aka Phosphorescent, out of Athens, GA. Imagine a younger Will Oldham and you're on the right track. Houck & co. have a new album out on Misra Records, entitled Aw Come Aw Wry, further illustrating the Athens music scene is alive and doing very well. Read what CMJ said : "The songs of . . .

Happy Thanksgiving :: Alice’s Restaurant

I grew up in Atlanta, and every Thanksgiving as far back as I can remember, one of the local FM radio stations would play Alice's Restaurant...all 18+ minutes of it. Sometimes several times throughout the day. I can't speak for the rest of the album

AC/DC :: Channeled Through Mark Kozelek

Oddly enough this is the Kozelek album that really got me hooked on his voice and arrangements. Prior to this, I wouldn't have imagined someone could craft these gems out of a handful of old AC/DC songs from the late '70s. Then again, I hadn't heard Mark Kozelek yet. Little did I know this is the man's stock 'n trade . . .
