This short set was recorded February 23, 1971 at the BBC's Television Theatre in Shepherd's Bush, London. An incredibly clean recording, I am hoping Neil explores selections from this tour in his newly minted Archives series. As you might note from previous live Neil Young shows I have posted here in the past, this era of his solo live performances are a personal favorite.

The Soft Boys :: Underwater Moonlight
Robyn Hitchcock's 2006 album Olé! Tarantula was such a strong comeback it re-kindled my interest in The Soft Boys 2004 reunion album, become a member or log in.
Roy Orbison :: In Dreams (Blue Velvet Redux)
Roy Orbison, like many pioneering rock & roll artists of his generation, has the dubious honor of countless greatest hits collections bearing his name -- all of them of varying quality. I know this because I have owned several over the years. One of the more interesting of Orbison's 'best of' collections is the 1987 greatest hits package become a member or log in.
Califone :: Roots & Crowns
As mentioned in the 2006 Year In Review, Califone's fifth album, Roots & Crowns, has become one of my favorite albums of 2006. My esteem and fondness for the LP . . .

Sonic Youth :: The Destroyed Room
New releases tend to notoriously dry up the last month of the year. This being so, I had been anxiously awaiting the copy of Sonic Youth's odds and sods compilation, The Destroyed Room, to land in my mailbox. I am happy to report -- as far . . .

Tropicalia :: A Brazilian Revolution in Sound
Through my father's collection I inherited a formidable amount of out-of-print and rare Latin jazz, Latin soul, and salsa on vinyl. One day I will get around to ripping some of it to MP3 format to share on the Drunkard, but until then a number of key artists and tracks are captured on the Soul Jazz label's 2006 compilation become a member or log in.
Seasons Greetings :: The Pogues
Irish lilt mixed with the attitude of early UK punk rock was what initially powered the The Pogues. Fronted by the (in)famous Shane MacGowan, The Pogues lifted traditional Irish music out of the gutter of past injecting it with a strong dose of piss and lager.Originally released in 1987 If I Should Fall from Grace With . . .

David Bowie :: Under Review 1976-1979 DVD
The most recent addition to the "Under Review" DVD series focuses on what would become known as Bowie's Berlin period from 1976-1979. A particularly fertile period in Bowie's artistic development, the sessions produced the albums become a member or log in.
Elvis Costello :: Armed Forces Revisited
The beauty of Amoeba records on Sunset blvd., with L.A. being a music industry town, is that you can stroll into the used section and often find reissues at half their original price, and often unopened. Such was the case last weekend when I spotted the 2002 double disc reissue of Elvis Costello's third album. Bolstered by a second disc . . .

Last week I received an advance copy of Ola Podrida's self titled album that is being released through Plug Research in the Spring of 2007. What began as a nom de plume for David Wingo's home recording projects has blossomed into a live quartet playing in and around Wingo's present home base of Brooklyn, NY.Continuing in the vein of his self released home recordings . . .

Okkervil River :: Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas
"Listening To Otis Redding At Home During Christmas""Home is where beds are made and butter is added to toast. On a cold afternoon you can float room to room like a ghost. Take the crî¨che out and argue about who gets to set up the kings. And I know that it’s home because that’s where the stereo sings “I’ve got dreams to remember.” But not even home can be with you forever. It’s . . .

Christmas Medley :: December 2006
As far as we're concerned, blog-wise, Big Rock Candy Mountain is the place to be during the month of December. For three years now, every December, the site steadily offers up obscure quality Christmas nuggets you won't hear at the mall or Starbucks. What's more impressive is the fact none of the tunes have been repeated since they began their holiday tunes tradition.The following is a medley of tracks I gathered . . .
