Birds Make Good Neighbors did not enter my radar until late 2005, so it's still nice and fresh around here criss-crossing the rooms with it's bright and sunny pop. The Raleigh, North Carolina based husband & wife duo continue here on their second LP with their brand of jangly guitar-laden . . .

May 9th sees the release of the Bloodshot debut of Mark Pickerel And His Praying Hands. Mark's music is a loose medley of telecaster twang, pedal-steel, surf-rock riffs, weird pontifications, reflections, darkly twisted humor, and non-linear storytelling. That's a mouthful. If your into Jim White, spin these.DOWNLOAD:MP3: Mark . . .

Was this album destined to be part of my "Lost Album Series"? From what I have read, it sounds like it was a distinct possibility, Stateside at least. But like Whiskeytown's Pneumonia, this . . .

In the late 1990's Gomez shot right out of the gate with two strong, self-assured albums back-to-back. Liquid Skin, the latter of the two, sounded so much like a continuation of their debut LP, Bring It On, the critics just . . .

One of the fine folks who reads Aquarium Drunkard shot me an email asking if I was familiar with this Neil Young tribute album. I was not...a big thank you for the tip. After investigating, I realized I had actually heard a couple of these covers (Pixies, etc.), but not in relation to this collection . . .

There is a reason Wrecking Ball is cited as the ideal when it comes to the artist, production, and music all coming together, in what appears, an effortless synergy. Daniel Lanois has a production style all his own, no matter if he's working on his own material, scoring soundtracks, or with working other artists (Bob Dylan, U2, etc). Said to act as . . .

I have posted on Hem before...hell, not even a month ago, but this album deserves a little extra push, especially for those of you into the twangy-alt.country side of the A.D. blog. When I originally posted their cover of R.E.M.'s So. Central Rain, I was just . . .

It's been awhile. I found this cd in my closet this afternoon while looking for an old Bob Marley bootleg. I didn't come across the Marley boot, but I did find myself re-acquainted with this album. Saturation was Urge Overkill's 1993 major label (Geffen) debut (and the last UO album I heard) prior to their short-lived popularity derived from Tarantino's

Been sitting around tonight after dinner, drinking newcastle's, and listening to some old records with friends. Hendrix's Band of Gypsys came on the changer, and as always, I found myself grinning. If you haven't made this recording a part of your life, start today with this first track off the album below. A six song snapshot taken of Hendrix . . .

photo credit (www.luckymadison.com)Last night, The National , exceeded my expectations playing their show at The Troubadour -- and I had pretty lofty expectations. Opener, Talkdemonic, were fantastic as well in a Live setting, working up their batch of ambient folk awash in banjos, violins, live drums and laptop beats.
