Serge Gainsbourg :: Revisited

UncategorizedPosted on September 8, 2006

My introduction and love of sixties French Pop began a few years ago when a friend turned me on to the decadent sounds of Jacques Dutronc. His frenetic pop music followed me via iPod on a twelve day honeymoon trek through Greece and the outlying coastal islands, thus becoming the de facto soundtrack to the trip. Upon my return to the states I was hooked and needed a fix . . .

Orange Juice :: The Glascow School

RIYL: The Smiths, Belle & Sebastian, Franz Ferdinand, The Vaselines, et al.Orange Juice , while a relatively short-lived outfit, went on to influence quite a few bands that readers of An Aquarium Drunkard most likely enjoy. But that, in and of itself, is no reason to download the following tracks. While driving around L.A. the other afternoon it struck me that Orange Juice, and specifically become a member or log in.

Bob Dylan :: Modern Times

UncategorizedPosted on September 5, 2006May 24, 2022

Dylan's latest album Modern Times was released a week ago today, and after nearly a week to digest I can honestly say I am enjoying the hell out of it. I tend to approach albums by rock & roll's "elder statesmen" with a wee bit of trepidation as you have to wonder just how many brilliant nuggets one artist can churn out after so many years. Well, any fears I held vanished after listening to the second track, the seven minute-plus . . .

Lost Album Series :: Freewheelin’ Outtakes

UncategorizedPosted on September 1, 2006June 1, 2012

With all the Dylan talk going on this week, I thought it would be nice to visit some of the artist's unreleased outtakes from the Drunkard Archives I have been enjoying over the years. Culled from the Freewheelin' album sessions (NYC, April-Nov 1962) , these outtakes provide an interesting insight and context for where Dylan was at the time compared . . .

Mojave 3 ::Puzzles Like You

UncategorizedPosted on August 31, 2006

I will preface this by saying (admitting) I was not expecting this album from Mojave 3. That being said, I am very much into it. Trading in their slow-country-ish past for an upbeat and happy-go-lucky sound, the band's reinvention is aiding me in riding out the end of this hot West coast summer. While unexpected, Puzzles Like You is a real treat.I had fallen off the become a member or log in.

Eugenius :: Oomalama

UncategorizedPosted on August 30, 2006

Eugene Kelly's career would probably have fared better had he arrived on the "indie" scene en masse in 2006 with his band's The Vaselines and Eugenius instead of the late '80s and early '90s respectively. While he may not have received commercial notoriety, his influence has been heard the past . . .

Today is a big Tuesday for all of us in Dylan's camp. Like a lot of you, I will be at the record store bright and early (relatively speaking) to pick up a copy of Modern Times, Dylan's 31st studio album.
