Syd Barrett :: Barrett

Earlier this week I posted on Greg Ashley and mentioned Syd Barrett's solo work as a touchstone. This led me to dust off Syd's 1970 eponymous second solo album...the last of his work I have actually heard. The record is graced with some great moments -- Baby Lemonade is a classic in and of itself. Members of Pink Floyd were involved in the production here, and . . .

Edith Frost :: The Demos

"You're now holding in your digital hands some of the original sounds that have wafted from the home studio of Edith Frost over the last decade. Before the acclaimed albums Wonder Wonder, Telescopic, and Calling Over Time were rendered, this was Edith's sound, lonesome and unadorned." "Country, blues and old-timey are all . . .

Greg Ashley :: Medicine Fuck Dream

Ah yes....an album that truly makes you just wanna say fuck it. I'm assuming Greg entitled this album Medicine Fuck Dream only because Taking Drugs to Make Music to Take Drugs To was already taken. Listening to this album is like swimming through . . .

Deadstring Brothers :: Exile In Detroit

Detroit's Deadstring Brother's sound like they practice what they preach. As others have noted, Starving Winter Report reeks of Exile-era Stones. A . . .

Richard Hawley :: Part Two

In my October post on Hawley I highlighted tracks off his most recent release Cole's Corner -- an album which has only has only gotten better with time. Hawley creates an atmosphere in his music that is both highly original and reminiscent of days gone by. A beautiful contradiction. These acoustic renditions . . .

Songs Rewind 2005 :: The Trapeze Swinger

Clocking in at 9:29 seconds is Sam Beam's The Trapeze Swinger, released in early 2005 on the soundtrack to Paul Weitz' In Good Company. If I remember correctly, this song is playing while the kid in the movie is running on a treadmill. That can't be right. Can it? DOWNLOAD:MP3: Iron & Wine . . .

Seasons Greetings :: Bing Crosby/David Bowie

Quite the unlikely pairing, but the results are no less good. Two versions of the same song below. The first is just the Crosby/Bowie duet. The second one is the shit, because it includes the contrived conversation that precludes the song in the television special. If you have not seen this "special" keep an eye out for it the next few weeks. Ridiculous. DOWNLOAD:MP3: Bing Crosby . . .

Cover Wars :: Thurston Moore/Cat Power

Thurston Moore seated with Bunny. Age unknown.

"...Moore is a total freak who takes great pleasure in mocking both the elitism of the avant-garde and the anti-intellectualism of pop culture. So it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone who has followed . . .
