hola, gaywads! hope everyone is enjoying their respective weekends. my 4 days off are coming to an abrupt end, with another 11 day stretch ahead of me. yeah.. hey mr. drunkard has the new my morning jacket “evil urges” available for your listening/downloading pleasure, here. i was, honestly, unimpressed with my first go around with it, but after a few more listens i am definitely diggin it - sounds almost like mmj fronted by prince. admittedly, i am still getting used to the more groove-centric mmj, as z did nothing for me the first 20 or so listens.
i am really liking this bowerbirds record, hymns for a dark horse. they remind me of early iron and wine, andrew bird and a more cohesive devendra banhart. check em out!
i am surprised i never heard of the pedaljets during their “hey day” of the late 80’s - they called it quits in 1990. they apparently opened for the likes of the replacements, husker du, flaming lips, meat puppets, etc and even had a video on heavy rotation on the late, great mtv classic 120 minutes. i think that actually still runs, but i am sure its as inconsequential as it has been for the last 15+ years. anyway, when their self-titled record was released back in 89, the band was none to happy with its production. fastforward, 17 years and they band got back together and decided to re-do the record with the original masters. they even re-recruited my man archer prewitt(sea and cake, the coctails) to do the cover artwork - he did the original cover art back in 89. it’s being re-released via oxblood on 5.6.
here is leonard cohen live on the bbc, broadcasted during the summer of 68. tracks 1 - 5 are from an 8.31 broadcast and 6 - 12 are from the 9.7 broadcast. i appear to be missing track 13, which is “one of us cannot be wrong.” anyone have it?
