Thanks to mr. chris (via a discovery on the NC based oakroom blog) I got to hear a new Rosebuds song today. It's reportedly a 2006 demo that was found on thier become a member or log in.
Look what arrived in my mailbox the other day...Sebadoh III. As I unwrapped the clear plastic, I may have wondered aloud "what goodies await a Drunkard other than the opportunity to hear a copy of this album free from the hiss of my well-worn high school cassette??" Turns out quite a few goodies . . .

If you on the eastside of L.A., or for that matter anywhere in L.A. with a running automobile, consider getting out and about this weekend for the years annual Sunset Junction Festival. It's a good old fashioned neighborhood block party. Here are some of the acts I plan on checking out while eating delicious tacos on the street.-----------------Drive-by Truckers +++

This just hit my inbox -- thought I would share. As most of you old fans have surely heard, Evan Dando has re-formed The Lemonheads much in the same way as Jay Farrar re-formed Son Volt in 2005. Both with entirely different lineups. How this constitutes a reunited band is questionable, but seeing how much I liked Dando's 2003 solo album become a member or log in.
Wow, now this is the good shit. One of perks of writing An Aquarium Drunkard is all the weekly reader tips/suggestions/emails we receive here at HQ. Thanks, and do keep 'em comin'. The latest example of fine music to grace our mailbox from a reader is the late Link Wray's self-titled 1971 album originally released on Polydor. Make no mistake, this is not Link in instrumental surf-guitar mode, but the man handling . . .

He of the patented honey and gravel-throated warble returns September 24th with his eighth album entitled Meadow. No stranger to experimentation and collaboration, Buckner enlists the help of former Guided By Voices alumnus Doug Gillard and Kevin March, as well as The Waco Bros’ Steven Goulding, in this latest studio venture. Also in tow is veteran Buckner co-conspirator . . .

Not unlike Ethan Miller's side-project, Howlin' Rain, this latest Comets On Fire album embraces such '70s rock luminaries as The Allman Brothers and Hendrix. Picking up where Blue Cathedral left off, become a member or log in.
This past week Pitchfork Media presented, in my opinion, it's best feature yet. The website listed it's top 200 songs of the 1960s. As a dedicated follower of roots, be them musical or historical, I found this list to be both fascinating, and at times perplexing. But hey, one cannot expect to agree with every choice, but all in all we were . . .

I want to say something here that will make you take notice of the track below by the Portland duo that record and perform under the name Horse Feathers. The reason I want to say something inviting is that this is a song you need in your iTunes - or your iPod - or discman - or walkman - or car stereo. I would like to say something that would persuade you that this is not another run-of-the-mill quirky indie-folk throwaway, but something you might come back to time and again. Actually . . .

I ran into Karling Abbeygate's voice by chance while browsing unknown artists on MySpace a few months ago. Initially, before listening to the tunes themselves, I was just taken with her excellent cowgirl boots. Mighty fine shit-kickers, but as it turned out, even better music. A modern day hybrid of Patsy Cline and Brenda Lee, Abbeygate croons in the style of the best 1950'5 Country & Western . . .

Dogme 95's Arcadian Hymns is one of my favorite albums of 2006 by a band or artist I did not know of prior to the beginning the year. Mission Label describes the artist's sound in the press release as: "Think of a 1940's prison gang jamming with Kraftwerk in the garden of Olympia, WA. It is a treat." What can I say, they . . .

Frequent Drunkard readers, you all knew this post was inevitable. Yes LUNA fans, you can now get (mostly) all of your favorite covers in one place. This digital-only release from Rhino, entitled Lunafied, collects the band's well chosen/diverse covers from over the course of their career. Here's the deal though: You have to either get it through iTunes
