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 . . .

Hi Aquarium Drunkard regulars! Justin has recruited some friends to run this joint while he's off galavanting across the country without a care in the world (bastard!).

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 . . .

You Don’t Love Me > Soul Serenade

If you havent heard this shit yet, step to it now. This is a twenty minute live medley of the Allman's at their creative/live zenith combining "You Don't Love" me with King Curtis' "Soul Serenade." This, as far as I know, is the only official release of the tune (found on the Dreams box set

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 . . .

Drive-by Truckers :: Los Angeles, CA

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 . . .

Rather Ripped :: On June 13th

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 . . .

Clem Snide :: The Ghost of Fashion

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.

Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On

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 . . .
