Off The Record :: Ross Flournoy (Los Angeles, CA)

Off The Record The Broken WestPosted 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.

Ike Turner :: 1931-2007

Blues Ike TurnerPosted on

I’ve written a few obituaries and tribute pieces in my day. They’re tough to write. People — family, friends, admirers — have certain expectations. Their expectations are born of nostalgia, and nostalgia is a nasty little thing. In Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel Garcia Marquez said, “The heart's memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good; and thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burdens of the past.” And that’s the problem when approaching these things; these homages to life, acknowledgments of death.

Marvin Gaye :: Purple Snowflakes

Marvin GayePosted on

I really have to make a concerted effort not to listen to this track during the other eleven months of the year. Come December 1st I am on it, and by the time New Years finally rolls around I have usually played it ad nauseam for a month straight. It's just that good.
