Sevens :: (Ballad Of) The Hip Death Goddess

(Sevens, a recurring feature on Aquarium Drunkard, pays tribute to the art of the individual song.)

I want you to listen to this song, so I'll ask that you trust me and not let the following several sentences sway you from doing so.   The arrival of Ultimate Spinach's 1968 debut album was derided by critics as nothing more than a Boston-based, commercially driven, cash-in project aping the recent West coast "psychedelia . . .

Frankel :: Know (Nick Drake cover)

If you've followed to the tale of Frankel over the past few years you may have noted that the reclusive bard rarely, if ever, performs live anymore.   Frankel's interpretation of Nick Drake's "Know", off the Pink Moon LP, was a highlight of the Frankel solo set (read: without his occasional backing band).   Using loops and a bow it often wandered into a velvety drone circa the Underground's debut album with . . .

Jim Dickinson :: Nov. 15, 1941 – Aug. 15, 2009

"As a producer, it really is all about taste. I'm not the greatest piano player in the world, but I've got damn good taste. I'll sit down and go taste with anybody." -- Jim Dickinson

When writing about music, so many of the words used are focused on the people in the spotlight - the folks with whom we most naturally identify. But the music that we let shape our lives would, at times, mean very little without the contribution of the side players and the producers - the people who truly give the music its nuance and . . .

The Great White Jenkins :: Look Out World (7’€³)

It's been a minute since we've had anything Great White Jenkins related on AD, so let's remedy that now as these guys just keep getting better.   The Virginia based folk-pop group, with readymade bedroom flourishes of blue-eyed soul, toured earlier this summer in support of their new Karl Blau produced 7"-- Side A: "Look Out Word", Side B: "Tell Me Something Good." Fingers crossed for a new full-length in . . .

Atlas Sound :: Walk A Thin Line (Fleetwood Mac)

One has to appreciate life's small synchronicities. I've recently been binging on Fleetwood Mac's 1979 Tusk album, and today (if you haven't noticed around the world wide web) Atlas Sound posted a cover of the LP's "Walk A Thin Line" on their Deerhunter blog.   Very stripped down.

The Replacements :: Can’t Hardly Wait (Cont’d)

There are some really interesting comments in yesterday's Sevens post on the Mats "Can't Hardly Wait." Worth a read if you're a Replacements fan.   An AD reader sent us yet another version of the track culled from the Pleased To Meet Me sessions bootleg, which, to my knowledge, has yet to be included on any of the sanctioned . . .

Sevens :: The Replacements, Can’t Hardly Wait

(Sevens, a recurring feature on Aquarium Drunkard, pays tribute to the art of the individual song.)

Multiple versions of songs are often one of the more exciting things about watching an artist at work. Getting to see a song run through its stages of development, recorded in different ways with different lyrics and different instrumentation - sometimes even with whole parts rearranged and dissected - gives listeners an insight into the creative process that isn't always available when the only thing to hear is the single . . .

Life Moves Pretty Fast, RIP John Hughes

High school generally gets mixed reviews. Some hated it. Some loved it. But whether you’d rather relive the memories or repress them, it’s hard to argue that adolescence is marked by ambivalence. Maybe your experience might have skewed toward the positive, but it wasn’t absent its fair share of uncertainty. High school is mostly varying degrees of circumstantial conundrum: Where do I go to college, or do I at all? Who do I hang out with? Where do I sit at lunch? How many eyes are on me when I walk through the door? If I’m . . .
