Lucero :: Coming To A Town Near You

UncategorizedPosted on October 2, 2006

I'm heading to the southeast Thursday for a little over a week hitting back to back weddings. Unfortunately, I will be missing what should be one hell of a show here in L.A., October 13th, at The Troubadour: Lucero, Rocky Votolato, and William Elliott Whitmore. This stacked bill should pack quite a punch.Anyhow, for those of you who have not yet . . .

Anders Parker :: S/T Release

UncategorizedPosted on September 30, 2006

Anders Parker first graced the virtual pages of An Aquarium Drunkard back in May while Kevin, from So Much Silence, was guest posting while I was on the road for a couple of months. And a mighty fine taste it was. Since then Anders has been busy, both recording a new self-titled solo record and a collaborative neo-traditional . . .

Fronted by the (in)famous Shane MacGowan, The Pogues lifted traditional Irish music out of the gutter of past injecting it with a strong dose of piss and lager.Originally released in 1987 If I Should Fall from Grace With . . .

The Animals :: Animalism (Reissue)

UncategorizedPosted on September 29, 2006

The Animals don't seem to garner the attention that some of the other early British Invasion bands of the sixties continue to reap. This is a powerful shame, as Eric Burdon and the band were tops at what they did . . .

William Elliott Whitmore :: Folker

UncategorizedPosted on September 27, 2006

I first came across this young, tattooed folk singer with the gravelly voice early last Spring on the recommendation of a friend over beers at SXSW. After checking out a few on his tunes online, I made a mental note to re-visit William Elliott Whitmore's music when I had more time. I made good on that promise this past month via his new record entitled become a member or log in.

Johnny Cash :: If I Were A Carpenter

I have heard many, many versions of this old tune, but it's Johnny and June Carter Cash's take on it that rings the truest.Related News (via pitchfork):"Columbia/Legacy will reissue Johnny Cash's first chart-topping album-- the live Johnny Cash at San Quentin-- on November 14 as a three-disc (two CDs and one DVD . . .

tvontheradio :: hollywoodbowl 9.24.06

UncategorizedPosted on September 25, 2006

Despite the enormity of the Hollywood Bowl, Tv On The Radio failed to disappoint the gathered masses. Opening for Massive Attack, whose performance seemed like an afterthought compared to the TVOTR experience, the group surprisingly translated their expansive sound to the atmosphere of the outdoor amphitheatre. Their vibe firmly intact, selections from become a member or log in.

Pale Blue Eyes :: Re-revisted

UncategorizedPosted on September 24, 2006

In the Sex Beat post, a longtime reader mentioned how much they enjoy Alejandro Escovedo's cover of The Velvet Underground classic "Pale Blue Eyes" (off the groups eponymous third LP . ) This led me to dig out . . .

Eponymous LPs :: Ben Kweller :: Lemonheads

UncategorizedPosted on September 21, 2006

True story. I knew so very little about Ben Kweller in 2002, that I went to his show at the Roxy to see My Morning Jacket open and then immediately split before his set. But truthfully, after all that early-period MMJ rockness, I probably would have thought his schtick to be shit anyways. The accompanying '02 pr buzz hyping that he was Evan Dando's little buddy did more harm . . .

Sex Beat :: Under The Covers

UncategorizedPosted on September 21, 2006

Alejandro Escovedo's cover of Gun Club's "Sex Beat" has been posted here before; been played more than once on my radio show as well. Why? Because like any good re-interpretation, it's takes the song's bare essence and spins it until it becomes something different entirely -- and yet it hangs on to the the same sense of purpose . . .

Portastatic :: Be Still Please

UncategorizedPosted on September 20, 2006

If you were in the Research Triangle area, or surrounding states, in the early to mid '90s, chances are you were a Superchunk fan. If so, this one's for you. While it's not Superchunk (it's been 4 years and change since the last SC album) this one, in a lot of ways, feels damn close. Close enough, anyway.Flying well below the radar, Portastatic . . .
