Throw Me The Statue :: Moonbeams

Throw Me The StatuePosted on

Throw Me A Statues's upcoming LP, Moonbeams, was the only album I listened to over the course of the weekend, and it's now carrying me into the new week. A good album will do that. If you like American lo-fi indie (and we sure do), this one is for you. Released next Tuesday (it's already been available, in . . .

Jeff Mangum :: XFM Radio Session – May 1998

Neutral Milk HotelPosted on

We posted this XFM set a year ago, today, while reflecting on the fact Neutral Milk Hotel's Aeroplane Over The Sea was nearly a decade old -- and now, in February 2008, it is. Pitchfork has just re-posted two of their interviews with Jeff Mangum, from 1997, up on the main page. Excerpt below . . .

Soul Jazz 171 :: Jamaican Funk & Soul 45’s

Reggae/Dub/Dancehall/SkaPosted on

You may be asking yourself, "hmm, do I really need yet another '70s reggage/dancehall/ska compilation in my life?" and to be honest, no, you probably don't, but if you do happen to have a crisp twenty and some change burning a hole in your pocket, per usual Soul Jazz Records is happy to take your money. They took mine just last week when I picked up their latest Jamaican become a member or log in.

Uncle Tupelo :: The Roots Of Effigy

CCR Uncle TupeloPosted on

While we're on the topic of Creedence, I've encountered a good number of Uncle Tupelo fans over the years who were unaware that "Effigy" was, in fact, a CCR cover. Not entirely surprising, though, as the tune was not a single (it's the closing track on the LP Willy And The Poor Boys), and as . . .

Your Phone’s Off The Hook, But You’re Not

XPosted on

Occasionally, while driving through L.A. with X's debut, acting as the soundtrack, I wonder just what Los Angeles would have been like, musically speaking, back during the band's early-mid Eighties peak. Besides X you had the cross-pollination of The Blasters, Dave Alvin, the Knitters, the whole Paisley Underground 'movement', not to mention a young Dwight Yoakam hustling in the Hollywood rock clubs - opening up for punk bands - because Nashville wouldn't touch him. Certainly sounds like an interesting place to be.

Local Scene: This Spring X will be embarking on their “31st Anniversary Tour” featuring all original members (John Doe/Billy Zoom/Exene Cervenka/DJ Bonebrake) April 10th @ The Music Box @ the Fonda / Doors: 8 pm / $27 / On Sale 2/9

The Cardinals :: January 30th, Los Angeles, CA

Ryan AdamsPosted on

I've witnessed numerous incarnations of The Ryan Adams Show over the years; the good, the bad and the ugly. Last Wednesday evening, here in L.A., Adams and his band The Cardinals transcended all three coalescing into what was the tightest, most inspired, most professional and, above all, most entertaining Adams show I've seen yet. Two separate sets of full-on rock & roll -- the kind of show you always knew Adams was capable of, but only hoped he would one day deliver upon . . .

Graceland :: Elvis Has Indeed Left The Building

Elvis PresleyPosted on

Part II of II of my Memphis Sunday post from December. Graceland, the King's once home, and final resting place, did exactly what I had hoped: it blew me away. Note that I am speaking of the actual estate, and property, immediately surrounding it, and not the bogus tourist trap "museums" across the street (although the car exhibition could be interesting, if it wasn't an extra, but . . .
