photo credit If I had been in need of a reminder that the Drive-By Truckers are one of the tightest, most professional, ass-kicking Live rock & roll band''s working today, then the one-two punch of the bands two night stay at the House of Blues in Hollywood was it. As of writing this, it's Friday and I'm still licking my wounds.Whether they intend to or not, the Truckers live and breathe Southern Rock. I'm sure many of you . . .

We received a nice treat in the mail at the Drunkard home offices a couple of weeks ago in the form of Sonic Youth's upcoming album Rather Ripped. Have been massively impressed with their last two albums, Murray Street and Sonic . . .

These past months have found me working my way backwards through the Clem Snide catalog. Eef and company are growers. Their weird pop tunes and bent language are matched and backed by their impressive instrumentation. Here are a couple of tunes I'm listening to this Saturday morning over coffee.

Sometimes I'll hear a song and the kitsch factor alone pulls me in again and again -- such is the case with Mel McDaniel's "Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On." I originally heard the song a few years ago via a scene in the film Personal Velocity , and it's positioning was used perfectly to set the tone and mood of both the scene and it's character. The two are now intrinsically linked in my mind. Go ahead, son -- add this piece of '80s fluff . . .

Due to Monday's protest demonstrations here in L.A., many of our main streets were closed. This event lead me to weaving in and out of curious side streets while trying to make my way from the mid-Wilshire area to Hollywood. This turned out to be no small feat, folks. The endeavor wound up taking a couple of hours, but was not all bad as I saw a lot of little neighborhoods I had yet to explore that lay just off the beaten path (such . . .

I was thinking this series could have an nice alternate title of "songs for a good barfight." Here is another six pack of Country & Western tear-jerkers and beer-swillers that will assist in getting me across the country this summer.

If you live in L.A., go check out The Brokedown who will be holding down the fort at The Silverlake Lounge every Tuesday in May. These guys are the real deal, and I expect you will be hearing more from them in the latter part of 2006. Here is a track off their Dutchman' Gold EP. DOWNLOAD:MP3: become a member or log in.
This weekend The Drunkard moved out of his L.A. home of the past 4+ years, threw everything in strorage, and is heading out on a Fandango of a road trip for two months beginning in two weeks. Will be crossing the Rockies, thru the Midwest (hitting Chicago, St. Louis) onwards to NYC, and D.C. -- down the Eastern seaboard and hanging in the durrty South for a good bit. I'll post my return route in July when it's time to mosey on back . . .

Besides absolutely loving the name of this band, I also have been incessantly listening to their two EPs all weekend. They have been on repeat in my disc changer, and on the iPod in my car. I know little about them, other than they are from California and play an interesting brand of post-rock with a vocalist who probably goes off live. Check these tracks out below and get both of their EPs on this site for twelve bucks . . .

Misra has become one of my go-to labels lately -- their taste seldom, if ever, lets me down. Their latest release, Shearwater's Palo Santo, is no exception. Touted as the first Shearwater album with co-founder Jonathan Meiberg taking on all the songwriting duties, it has been floating through my speakers since last week. DOWNLOAD:MP3: Shearwater . . .

Maybe I should move more often, as I keep happening upon albums that while not forgotten, have been severely ignored by yours truly for years. The latest case being R.E.M.'s debut long-player Murmur. I have this on vinyl somewhere too, but it's the CD that caught my attention and led me to ripping it on my . . .
