Travel By Sea :: Autumn Tone Reissue

Autumn Tone Travel By SeaPosted on

No ordinary post-folk outfit, Travel by Sea’s music explores an aural countryside far past the traditional confines of their predecessors . . .

The Rolling Stones :: Rock And Roll Circus (1968)

Rolling StonesPosted on

First off, tip of the hat to public television (and radio) who consistently provide quality non-commercial programming. I make a point to support these, and the most recent reminder of why was randomly catching The Rolling Stones 1968 Rock And Roll Circus on L.A.'s PBS affiliate the other night. I had not seen this in some time and it was . . .

Bob Marley & The Wailers :: Radio Session 1973

Reggae/DubPosted on

"One Good Thing About Music, When It Hits You Feel No Pain. So Hit Me With Music..."

In an effort to highlight reggae and dub that's a bit outside of the mainstream, I had inadvertently never featured Bob Marley on the Drunkard's pages in the past 2+ years. I am going to seriously remedy that today with this classic radio session (allegedly) recorded in Sausalito, CA in 1973 (I say this because when I was originally given the CDR in the late '90s, it was labeled as such, but I have since prowled . . .

Off The Record :: Eef Barzelay (Nashville, TN)

Off The RecordPosted on

Off The Record is a recurring feature here on the Drunkard that will marry 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.

Today we visit Nashville, TN with, former principal songwriter . . .

The New Pornographers :: Myriad Harbor

New PornographersPosted on

Although it does not officially drop until late August, the New Pornographers fourth LP, Challengers, has been a pretty constant jam around these parts the past few weeks. If your into indie-pop, you are most definitely already a rabid New Pornos fan, if not, well, you might want to get on that. Like, quick.

Over the past six weeks Matador has released a couple of tracks off

To The Sad, Sad Truth, The Dirty Lowdown

Boz ScaggsPosted on

It's hard to express how much I really like this funky little '70s pop song. Even before the iPod and MP3 players were all the rage, I would throw this track on mix CDs and listen to it on my portable player with headphones. I particularly remember one such occasion, years ago, running through LAX in a desperate attempt to catch a flight while this Boz Scaggs tune provided the soundtrack. I missed it.
They don't really make music like this anymore, do they? Smoove . . .

St. Vincent :: Marry Me (July 10th)

St. VincentPosted on

Without a doubt, St. Vincent's solo performance at Largo, this past May, stands as my favorite show thus far in 2007. Certainly high praise when you consider it was just Vincent (Annie Clark), her guitar, a kick drum, and piano.

That modest combination proved to be amazing -- prompting us to say this the day after: "In a word, her performance was breathtaking. Deftly moving from confessional singer-songwriter fare on the piano, to displaying avante-guard . . .

Aquarium Drunkard Presents :: Howlin’ Rain (Sat.)

Howlin' RainPosted on

I've got three pairs of tickets to go see the Howlin' Rain show on Saturday night at The Echo here on the Eastside. I really love these guys -- it's like a 21st century '70s rock band, but, you know...now. If you have seen these guys before, than you know the band is going to summon some fierce rock & roll jams. For those unaware, this is indeed Ethan Miller's (from become a member or log in.
