Matt Marque :: Nothing Personal

UncategorizedPosted on January 2, 2007

2007...wow, that's gonna take a bit of getting used to. Hope everyone had a good holiday season and rang in the new year with a gusto. I know we did. One of the things the holidays provided, with all the cross country travel they entailed, was an opportunity to revisit some old favorites on the iPod and laptop. One such album is Matt Marque's 2004 LP Nothing's . . .

HBO’s The Wire :: Way Down In The Hole

UncategorizedPosted on December 31, 2006

Friends will attest to the fact that the past few months have found me neck deep in all things related to the HBO serial drama The Wire. For those not familiar, the show is a fascinating take on the overtones an undertones of life and the inner workings of the modern American city (Baltimore, Maryland). Far from pretty the show has, over the course of four seasons, tied together complicated plot lines more akin to . . .

Neil Young :: BBC TV Theatre – 1971

UncategorizedPosted on December 20, 2006

This short set was recorded February 23, 1971 at the BBC's Television Theatre in Shepherd's Bush, London. An incredibly clean recording, I am hoping Neil explores selections from this tour in his newly minted Archives series. As you might note from previous live Neil Young shows I have posted here in the past, this era of his solo live performances are a personal favorite.

Roy Orbison :: In Dreams (Blue Velvet Redux)

UncategorizedPosted on December 17, 2006

Roy Orbison, like many pioneering rock & roll artists of his generation, has the dubious honor of countless greatest hits collections bearing his name -- all of them of varying quality. I know this because I have owned several over the years. One of the more interesting of Orbison's 'best of' collections is the 1987 greatest hits package become a member or log in.

Sonic Youth :: The Destroyed Room

New releases tend to notoriously dry up the last month of the year. This being so, I had been anxiously awaiting the copy of Sonic Youth's odds and sods compilation, The Destroyed Room, to land in my mailbox. I am happy to report -- as far . . .

Tropicalia :: A Brazilian Revolution in Sound

UncategorizedPosted on December 14, 2006

Through my father's collection I inherited a formidable amount of out-of-print and rare Latin jazz, Latin soul, and salsa on vinyl. One day I will get around to ripping some of it to MP3 format to share on the Drunkard, but until then a number of key artists and tracks are captured on the Soul Jazz label's 2006 compilation become a member or log in.

Elvis Costello :: Armed Forces Revisited

UncategorizedPosted on December 13, 2006

The beauty of Amoeba records on Sunset blvd., with L.A. being a music industry town, is that you can stroll into the used section and often find reissues at half their original price, and often unopened. Such was the case last weekend when I spotted the 2002 double disc reissue of Elvis Costello's third album. Bolstered by a second disc . . .

Okkervil River :: Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas

UncategorizedPosted on December 12, 2006

"Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas""Home is where beds are made and butter is added to toast. On a cold afternoon you can float room to room like a ghost. Take the crî¨che out and argue about who gets to set up the kings. And I know that it’s home because that’s where the stereo sings “I’ve got dreams to remember.” But not even home can be with you forever. It’s . . .
