Drive-By Truckers: Live at Plan 9 July 13, 2006

Drive-By Truckers Live at Plan 9 July 13, 2006 New West Records Fifteen years ago the Drive-By Truckers played one hell of an in-store. They were at Plan 9 Records to help the store celebrate its 25th Anniversary. This resulted in a two-hour grab-bag of the band’s best material up to that point. It was […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 90

Easy Star All-Stars, Radiodread (2006) I first became aware of the Easy Star All-Stars with their first album – Dub Side of The Moon. It is a brilliant set of covers (reimaginings) of that classic album. Performed in order. These days I get way more of a kick out of listening to that than I […]

Gerald Cleaver and Violet Hour: Live at Firehouse 12

Gerald Cleaver and Violet Hour Live at Firehouse 12 Sunnyside Drummer/composer Gerald Cleaver is on fire here leading his band Violet Hour through some post-bop future-classics. Ben Waltzer (piano) is an early delight on the opener, Pilgrim’s Progress,  trumpeter Jeremy Pelt has a chance to rip here too. And Chris Lightcap (double bass) is urgent […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 207

Joan As Police Woman, Christobel [Single] (2006) Well I told the story here  – click that link, it tells you all about my recent Joan As Police Woman story – interviews and chaperoning her other media requests and so on, and then a friend in Japan writes and tells me he’s found a couple of […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 218

Joan As Police Woman, Eternal Flame [Single] (2006) This world we live in! What a magical place it can be – I just get done chatting to Joan Wasser for my podcast after being a Joan As Police Woman fan for years – since that magical debut album in fact – and seeing a great […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 225

Joan As Police Woman, Real Life (2006) I’m aware there’s been a fair bit about Joan As Police Woman in my timeline of late, but it’s surreal – (and so real) – and it bears repeating…I loved the first Joan album so much. I love the other ones too. But this one left its mark. […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 697

Gianmarco Liguori, Penta/Beat Instrumental [Single] (2006/7) I get this message, out of the blue, a few weeks back: something about would I like a bunch of records? Would I what! So I say “yes please”, or something like that. And then I forget. Because I get a few of those sorts of messages – though very […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 744

Amy Winehouse, Back To Black (2006) I was never as sold on this album as Frank – because I’d discovered Frank first, on my own, felt like I’d found it, this album was the one that was given to everyone – and no, that doesn’t matter, not really. But it did to me at the […]
