Decade :: Sun Kil Moon, Ghosts of the Great Highway
What is it that makes us want to deconstruct art by units of time? Lists. We love making them. We love arguing over them. And here, on the verge of a new decade, we’re in a position to do the same again. What were the best albums of the past ten years?
Here at AD, we started talking it through and decided we weren’t going to add to the cacophony of lists being put out by various music pubs. There are enough of those. Rather, we elected to let our four main writers have a chance to write . . .

Kris Kristofferson :: The AD Interview
Last week Aquarium Drunkard cut a session with Kris Kristofferson at a studio in Los Angeles -- we also had the opportunity to interview the troubadour/actor/activist. Below, Kristofferson speaks to his new LP, Nicaragua, old friends, and what exactly did happen with that National Guard helicopter on Johnny Cash's lawn.

Hey Paula And Lynchian Innocence
At their core, David Lynch films are the juxtaposition of the innocent and the obscene -- something the auteur has repeatedly explored in every filmic vehicle save for his adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel Dune. This juxtaposition very much carries over to his film's soundtracks and scores -- the innocent and the obscene.
Over the past few months I've been increasingly preoccupied with the bubblegum pop that made up the 1950s and early . . .

Mountain Man :: Animal Tracks
Got back to L.A. last night. The middle of my autumn traveling mix for the rental car was made up of Warpaint's "Billie Holiday," The Middle East's "The Darkest Side," John Martyn's "Over The Hill" and the following track by Bennington, VT's

Happy Halloween :: C.A. Quintet: Trip Thru Hell
One of the most unique, unheralded albums of the 60s, the C.A. Quintet's Trip Thru Hell was a small indie pressing of under 500 from the Candy Floss label, making it a very rare 1968/1969 release. Originals will set you back a pretty penny, but for the die hard may be worth it considering the CD version does not faithfully recreate the back side of the LP.

Charles Manson :: Lie: The Love and Terror Cult
Charles Manson has always been cloaked and hidden in music, and if not music, then at least the counterculture that swirls around it. Manson and his Family have, since their inception upon his release from McNeil Island in 1967 and subsequent move to the Bay Area, associated themselves with the counterculture in general and the musical counterculture in particular. As Bono alludes to in Rattle and Hum, he re-stamped the proto-punk of the Beatles’ “Helter Skelter”
