16 Horsepower - " Horse Head " from Hoarse [2001] Whenever I speak with fellow aficionados of 16 Horsepower, we can all agree on the importance of the crazed, drunken preacher with hellfire in his eyes coming out of frontman David Eugene Edwards, just as we can agree that this band has rekindled the fear of the Lord in our souls. But I never hear about the importance and soul-crushing weight of Pascal Humbert's low end: on Secret South 's opener "Clogger," the whole album starts with a massive, speaker-rattling bowed contrabass. It's [...]
YouTube Doubler the idea is lovely but unfortunatly the "execution" (no pun intended) didn't work out quite perfectly. My blog settings must be off somewhere. If you'd care to help fix that gimme a holler: ricksaunders at gmail dot com

of all the shows i have been witness to, none really compare to the almost religious experience that was a 16 horsepower show. david eugene edwards was akin to a snake handling preacher when he was onstage - you can kind of get a sense his fervor by the above photo. here they are on some radio station in amsterdam on 1.26.00. 1. interview 2. black bush 3. cept you 4. flowers in my heart [...]

Hello readers, Evan here. My first full day back in suburban New Jersey was an eventful one. Of course, I didn't actually lay my head down to sleep until well after 4:00am East Coast time, and I was awoken by a phone call at 9:45am, so I've been (understandably) tired almost all day. Things started out normal enough. My mother picked me up and drove me to the Department of Motor Vehicles so that I could renew my driver's license (though I am a California resident I am not a domiciliary, so I've retained my NJ driver's license). That went [...]
I honestly believe my shuffle play was in-tune with my mood, as most of today's tracks are soft or smooth or reeking of beachy nostalgia. (No, I have no idea what I'm talking about either!) It looks as if this post is dominated by indie radio covers and tributes. 16 Horsepower "Single Girl, Married Girl" (The Carter Family cover) My pal Ryan is in a band that opened for another band whose members used to be in 16 Horsepower. He texted me the other night to ask if [...]
הלידה-מחדש שמתבטאת ב-"Clogger" מסתמנת לכאורה ככזו של אדם המפנה עורף לדרכי ההתנהגות שלו בעולם עד כה ומתחיל מחדש כאדם מוסרי ורגוע. למעשה, "Clogger" הוא הרבה יותר משיר פתיחה אנרגטי שבמקרה מהווה גם שיר לידה-מחדש
... und so hat es vielleicht der eine oder andere nicht mitbekommen (die oder den es aber interessiert hätte): ein durchaus interessantes und lustiges und nettes interview mit leo leowald . im übrigen hat mir meine mutter aus dem fernen amerika das erste album von 16 horsepower mitgebracht, das habe ich schon lang noch nicht. da habe ich mich gefreut und ich freue mich noch immer. viele gute lieder sind da drauf. [auf der seite kann man sich an dieser stelle ein audio anhören] zb black bush , hier allerdings solo [...]

16 Horsepower - American Wheeze 16 Horsepower - For Heaven's Sake (Live)
This week's mix: some soul, some country, some 80's college rock, and some good old Boston punk.

(And if you're not sure how to actually make your mix, click here .) 1. Ann Peebles, I Can't Stand The Rain 2. The Colourfield, Castles In The Air 3. Night Canopy, Seasick [...]
Das Hide on Jeckel ist ein kleines Hostel und befindet sich am Rande von Whitehorse. Gerade mal 22 Betten beherbergt das Haus, inklusive 2 Schlafplätzen in einem alten VW-Bus. Was Renate und Detlev, die Betreiber, vor 7 Jahren aufgebaut haben, ist aber alles andere als ein gewöhnliches Hostel. Liebevoll betreut, gut organisiert und sauber - die Beiden haben alles bestens
16 Horsepower - Hutterite Mile 16 Horsepower - Alone And Forsaken 16 Horsepower is one of those bands that I did not understand quickly. The lead singer’s voice stretches, cracks, slides and never finds any hint of comfort or melody. The sonic backdrops are simple, repeating affairs. Indeed, in writing this I find myself puzzled. Why do I like them? The only response resembling an answer is persistence. The songs carry a momentum that builds; the band may only take shuffling, stuttering [...]

Susanna & The Magical Orchestra Now, I don't have an XBOX. But I do have a Mac. So while everyone else is playing Halo on their television sets, apparently I have to play in front of my computer screen (which is an antique, by the way, she's about 10-12 years old.) I was never too big on Halo, but for some reason in the past two days I've just been playing my ass off. I think I'm just in one of those stages, though. I'll probably shove it aside [...]
