Van Morrison :: It’s Too Late to Stop Now

Van MorrisonPosted on

To understand what makes the live collection It's Too Late to Stop Now so momentous, its context in Van Morrison's career must be taken into account. Nowadays Van Morrison conjures up visions of a chubby man in a suit who sits on a stool while on stage, whereas the Van Morrison of 1973 was coming off what may . . .

Blitzen Trapper :: The AD Interview

Blitzen Trapper The AD InterviewPosted on

Blitzen Trapper is one of a handful of bands that we've constantly referred to as refining and exploring classic rock traditions in a new way. AD sat down via phone with Blitzen Trapper front man Eric Earley to discuss their first major-indie release, comparisons to Pavement and Dylan, archaic words, and that special confusion that is uniquely American.

And Now…Le Switch

Autumn Tone Le SwitchPosted on

Le Switch, a band name which is damn hard to say without affecting a bad French accent, has added another notch to a year whose belt is already full. The notches, in this case, count the bands who have released albums that, genuinely and without schmaltz, channel classic rock and pop tropes through a modern sounding release.

Creedence :: Catalog Reissued/Remastered

CCRPosted on

Are these better than an old box of Creedance cassettes? While that might be more of a question for our friend the Dude, I would certainly argue that 2008 has been a pretty good year for Creedence fans. Earlier this year eMusic made the entire CCR catalog available for download, and now, being the 40th anniversary of . . .

Graham Nash :: Songs For Beginners (Reissue)

Graham NashPosted on

It is no secret to frequent AD readers that I am a huge fan of any project that contains a C S N or Y from the mid 1960s through the mid '70s. Last week Rhino reissued what might be my favorite Graham Nash solo LP, 1971s Songs For Beginners

Yes, the above photo is of Françoise Hardy; she is just one of the artist covered on White Hinterland's new five-song (two originals, three covers) French-language EP Luniculaire. I've been smitten with Casey Dienel's voice since . . .

The Muslims :: Walking With Jesus 7″

Spacemen 3 The MuslimsPosted on

San Diego/L.A.'s The Muslims are set to release a new 7" for the track, "Parasites," with a b-side featuring one of my favorite Spacemen 3 tunes, "Walking With Jesus." Good shit, but just as important, this gives me an opportunity/excuse to post a couple of alternate Spacemen 3 tracks off the band's Forged Prescriptions collection; which, in truth, I actually throw on . . .

The Henry Clay People, one of the best bands in L.A. are releasing, For Cheap Or For Free, November 4th.

Reigning Sound :: Time Bomb High School

Reigning SoundPosted on

I've been on a huge Reigning Sound kick of late devouring their 2002 LP Time Bomb High School almost daily. There is something about this record that is so immediate, so primal and completely organic, that is eschews a sense of what rock & roll is all about - or what it should be about. I asked my friend

Frank Zappa :: CNN Crossfire, 1986

Frank ZappaPosted on

Twenty-two and a half years ago, Frank Zappa sat down in a chair on a television set for a political debate show on a cable news network that was still fighting to be taken seriously. The previous fall, Zappa had appeared as a witness before a Congressional panel about the potential censorship of music that was found to contain questionable lyrical content or cover art. Zappa's feelings about words, art and what exactly freedom of speech entails were laid out at the feet of one incredulous . . .
