The Cover Wars return to An Aquarium Drunkard after an extended absence. Spurred by a jukebox reminder on Sunset blvd. this past weekend, I set down my cocktail and made a mental note to post this up. Clash purists may scoff at Josh Rouse's sparse arrangement, but I see greatness in both. Lovely. DOWNLOAD:MP3: become a member or log in.

Van Morrison :: T.B. Sheets
Martin Scorcese has a hell of an ear for using music to color and help frame his films. A fantastic example of this is his use of Van Morrison's early '70s epic T.B. Sheets in 1999's become a member or log in.

I get quite the mailbag here at the Aquarium Drunkard's home office each week. Often it is MP3's from various rising bands looking for a little exposure. Some good, some not-so-good, and some great. I have little interest on the so-called cutting-edge per se, as the folks on my blog-roll have that covered (and do it far better than I ever could). But occaionally I do like to . . .

Cat Power :: The Greatest
This album has that old school blue-eyed soul Dusty In Memphis feel to it -- which I couldn't be more excited for. Side up to this with a plate of Rendezvous ribs, cornbread and a beer. Curious as to how this will play with her present fan . . .
