The Yardbirds :: Stroll On (From Blow Up – 1966)

The YardbirdsPosted on

Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni's film Blow Up, from 1966, left a lasting impression on me. Its depiction of mod-cool, sixties London, is aesthetically on point throughout its entirety -- and that's not even taking in consideration the actual (murder mystery) plot, which itself is both meandering (in the style of sixties art-house) and engrossing.

The Music: The majority of the film is scored by Herbie Hancock, which, while appropriate, pales in comparison to become a member or log in.

Alejandro Escovedo:: Sex Beat (Gun Club Cover)

Alejandro Escovedo Gun ClubPosted on

Alejandro Escovedo’s cover of Gun Club’s “Sex Beat” has been posted here before and played many a time on my radio show over the years as well. Why? Because like any good re-interpretation, it takes the song’s bare essence and spins it until it becomes something entirely different – and yet it hangs on to the the original sense of purpose the songwriter . . .

The Above Ground Sound of Jake Holmes

Jake HolmesPosted on

No, the photo to the left is not of Stephen Malkmus (although the resemblance is quite uncanny, no?) Even today the majority of Zeppelin fans still do not know that the band's epic “Dazed And Confused,” off their eponymous debut, was in actuality a cover tune. During a U.S. American tour in the late ’60s the Jimmy Page led version of the Yardbirds shared a NYC Greenwich Village . . .

Off The Record :: The Small Sounds, Houston TX

Off The Record The Small SoundsPosted on

Off The Record is a recurring feature here on the Drunkard that marries two of my greatest interests; music and travel. Having a locals perspective when visiting a new locale is the difference between experiencing it through the lens of a tourist and of that of a native.

Off The Record gathers some of my favorite artists, asks them to reflect on their city of residence, and choose a handful of places they could not live without, be them bookstores, bars, restaurants or vistas.

Today’s installment of Off The Record finds us in . . .

Aquarium Drunkard :: Year In Review ’08 (Albums)

UncategorizedPosted on

As I mentioned in our Songs: 2008, year-end wrap up, AD brought on two regular contributors over the course of the past twelve months, J. Neas and M. Garner. In lieu of listing our favorite forty or so albums released over the course of the year, we each chose five (different) LPs comprising a group of fifteen releases that not only sound great now, but we predict will stand the test of time. Note: for the sake of argument . . .

Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy & Captain Anomoanon :: 2006

Live Upload Series Will OldhamPosted on

As Bonnie 'Prince' Billy prepared to embark on what would become a very busy fall of 2006, he played two very special nights at Joe's Pub in New York City. With brothers Paul and Ned Oldham (Will Oldham/BPB/Palace Music), the trio blistered through nearly 40 covers, nearly all traditionals - playing only one original ("Cursed Sleep" in its pre-release form). Below are three of those shows (all but the first night . . .

Season’s Greetings :: Christmas Medley

HolidayPosted on

As far as we're concerned, blog-wise, Big Rock Candy Mountain is the place to be during the month of December. For four years now, every December, the site steadily offers up obscure quality Christmas nuggets you won't hear at the mall or Starbucks.

The following is a medley of tracks I gathered from the last three years of Big Rock Candy Mountain's December Christmas series. For a current dose of Christmas Americana head on over . . .
