The Clientele “Strange Geometry”

It's been a couple of days without a post here, so my guess is Justin is in transit as he and his wife continue their freewheeling ways around the country. So, um, hi. I'm Kevin (obligatory link).I'm not sure if Justin has ever featured the Clientele in these parts, but it's a group I think he'd appreciate.

Zero 7 :: Futures

I had no idea who Zero 7 was until a couple of months ago. A friend's rec and a couple of magizine pieces touting the band's collaboration with Jose Gonzalez piqued my interest in a big way. I have spun the band's latest LP The . . .

Emmylou Harris/Mark Knopfler :: Duets 2006

Upon its Spring release I read a less than flattering review of the Emmylou Harris/Mark Knopfler duets album All The Roadrunning. If I could remember the source of the review I would link it here for your perusal. Thank ye gods I listened my gut and not the critic, as it’s about as good an album as I expected . . .

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 . . .
