Soul Sides :: Volume 1

Here at the Drunkard, we love the old funk, soul, and r&b jams, but rarely touch on it all that often (as there are many well written, well researched sites out there already covering it.) One such website is Soulsides. If you're not hip to them yet, they do a great job, and compiled a fantastic CD compilation album earlier this year. Didn't get around to purchasing it until just before I left Los Angeles for . . .

(Contributor's note: Hey, this is Kevin again, checking in while Justin is roaming the roads of the country. I'm doubling up on this post from my site because, well, I enjoy David Garza quite a bit.)Because I have a hard time shelling out $35 (plus $3 facility fee!) for any show, I'll probably miss Austin's David Garza opening for become a member or log in.

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 . . .
