I Might Be Wrong…

At the time of The Eraser's release I was in the middle of two months of travel, and could not be bothered, so i just ignored it. And truthfully, based on the description and the handful of reviews I glanced at, it just did not seem all that interesting.

Cut to last month: a friend, while visiting, left a copy with me urging I check it . . .

Dr. John :: Sun Moon & Herbs

[ I ran out of time last month to get through all the New Orleans posts I wanted to do prior to Fat Tuesday, so here is one that was all lined up in the trick bag. ]

Released in 1971, Sun Moon & Herbs walks that thin line between the backwoods, psychedelic, voodoo blues of Gris Gris and the return to New Orleans r&b that the Doctor would soon explore on his next LP, 1972's Gumbo.

Dead Meadow :: Owning It

My weekly Wednesday route to the Little Radio warehouse studio takes about 15 minutes from Los Feliz Blvd. I jump on the 5 south to the 10 east and get off on Alameda taking the first right on Long Beach avenue, where situated amongst a sea of warehouses boasting every kind of fruit and vegetable imaginable, sits Little Radio. Pretty typical.

This afternoon, though, was anything but typical. When I pulled in and walked into the Little Radio warehouse I was smacked across the face with the heavy blues jones of . . .

Panda Bear :: Person Pitch

Panda Bear's Person Pitch is one of the more interesting advance albums I have heard so far this year. Interesting and rewarding in the sense you can let it wash over your headphones time and again, catching something entirely new each time in the gauzy, narcotic headspace that exists within the LPs span of 45 minutes.

Imagine listening to Pet Sounds in a dream, a dream in mono, with your subconscious randomly filling in bits and pieces from the past 40 . . .

Centro-matic :: Live From Austin City Limits

So, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Will Johnson and company will be making an appearance at SXSW this year; not under the guise of Centro-matic, or South San Gabriel, that is. If I am wrong about this, by all means, let me know. (Secret show?)

Jonny Greenwood Is The Controller

Mixtapes and compilations, curated by artists I admire, have always appealed to me in a voyeuristic/curio type of way. For the music junkie, it's a little bit akin to peering into a sliver of ones soul. Jonny Greenwood, of Radiohead acclaim, sees his

Mews Too :: An Asthmatic Kitty Compilation

Last summer I spent the better part of two and half months traveling around the country with my wife and a healthy music collection. Two of the most listened to albums were The Sound And The Hare Heard Kill Rock Stars compilation, and the Asthmatic Kitty Mews Too compilation. Both, similarly, are rooted in . . .
