Howe Gelb Scout NiblettPosted on

If you follow blogs, chances are you have seen, Portland, OR resident, Scout Niblett's name popping up here and there during the past month (or, say, in advertisements -- like the one to the right), and rightly so. I first heard her voice on the duet she did with Howe Gelb a little while back, via the medley "I Want Candy/I Know What Boys Want/Who Do You Love/Not Fade Away." Yeah, it's a mouthful, but . . .

Off The Record :: Division Day (Los Angeles, CA)

Division Day Off The RecordPosted 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.

This week we catch up with Ryan, from

"The city hasn't changed as much as real estate agents would have you believe," Steve Earle explains about his adopted hometown of New York City.
