Grayson Capps :: New Orleans Blues

Grayson Capps' bluesy, soulful, Southern literary storytelling has been a welcome treat whenever his album If You Knew My Mind pops up on shuffle as we drive cross-country these past 2+ weeks."I write songs which have the voice of dead prophets masquerading as town drunks screaming 'look at us . . .

WWdBD?

Filling in for the wandering Justin today will be Will from Be the Boy. Today, Will takes a break from his usual writings about robots, cartoon mascots and slip and slides to talk about salvation through music. Sometimes I stand on busy street corners with a portable amp and microphone trying to get the attention of passersby. As they walk by I call out”“Can I have a moment of your time to tell you about my savior...”“Do you want to find salvation in....”“Have you accepted... “I rarely get to finish . . .

Pet Politics :: New Song

Pet Politics is Magnus Larsson of Gothenburg, Sweden. He has found his way onto An Aquarium Drunkard a few times in the past year, as I love his style. A "detached Lou Reed kinda thing" I think I described it in an earlier post. Here is a new song that just popped up on the man's MySpace page. Also, if you can find one, do pick up a copy of his EP released last year on . . .

Ben Weaver :: Unmastered Tracks

Until last week I was not familiar with Ben Weaver nor his music, but judging by these three unmastered tracks from his upcoming (Brian Deck produced) album, it's safe to say I am going to love his full-length. I get a lot of unsolicited albums/eps/mp3s in the mail, but it's times like these when I remember why I do my best to listen to most everything that comes across my desk. Weaver's . . .

Snowglobe :: Oxytocin

Snowglobe is the third band this year from Memphis, TN that I have begun listening to (see: Lucero, Harlan T. Bobo). Prior to that, I think Big Star and Elvis were the most recent Memphis exports filling my iPod. Unlike the other two, Snowglobe don't work any kind of inherently Southern, rootsy angle, but opt for a breezier pop sound undercut with darker lyrics. Here is some official details: "Snowglobe is something of an event or occurance, an . . .
