Off The Record :: Doveman (Kathmandu)

Doveman 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.

Bonnie “Prince” Billy :: Little Lost Blues

Will OldhamPosted on

As a longtime Will Oldham fan, the 2006 LP, The Letting Go, recorded under his Bonnie "Prince" Billy moniker, quickly rose to the top, becoming one of my favorite albums of that year. What I was unaware of at the time, though, was that a limited number of copies, of the album, came with the bonus collection Little Lost Blues, the third installment in a series of compilations collecting Oldham . . .

Donald Fagen :: The Nightfly

Donald Fagen Steely DanPosted on

Steely Dan have sparked more heated debates than any other artist I consider myself a loyal, and ardent, fan of. People just love to hate on The Dan. And when I say love, I mean they looove to. And Donald Fagen's solo work? Shee-it, that's just even more bizarre to the non-Dan faithful than the proper canon. Luckily, I could give a fuck.

The beauty of Steely Dan, is that if you get
