"This is a record of consequences. The price that you pay for the life that you live. Burn.Flicker.Die." The ninebullets November Kickstarter Project is a band that we love the hell out of here in the ninebullets.net camp; American Aquarium . The band has launched a kickstarter campaign to record their 5th studio album, Burn.Flicker.Die. in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with Jason Isbell . Their rewards range from the typical autographed album all the way up to the not-at-all-typical reward of having an opportunity to buy their first tour [...]
last year sometime, american aquarium and their record, small town hymns , somehow and mysteriously came into my field of vision. i thought they were a "new" band but dammit if i hadnt been missing out since like 05, which is when i think they formed. shit, i think i even missed em when they stormed through new orleans last year. either way, said record ended up at #3 on best of 2010 list and really up until about a month or so ago, thats all of theirs i had listened to. well, all that has changed [...]

Since this was Fourth of July weekend, I didn't actually spend a lot of time in town, but I was determined to see American Aquarium on Saturday night at Weesefest at the Pour House. American Aquarium has been around for a while, but I had never seen them. I kept hearing them compared to Bruce Springsteen, and I think that's fairly accurate. I can also hear a lot of Drive-By Truckers in their music too. Unfortunately I only found out tonight that they played last night in Beaufort. That's too bad because I was there, and would have [...]
bj recorded this in ian's cabin at campout east , which happened a couple weeks back. looked like a pretty awesome lineup...
today is the last day of cxcw, and its been a doozy. tons of artists have participated and all together me thinks it was a huge success. if you havent been checking the updates over at the site , you definitely need to. that song up there that bj of american aquarium was kind enough to do for cxcw is a new song entitled "redheads and adderall." -->
As anyone who got within earshot of me can attest, by the end of SxSW last year I had had it. Austin had defeated me. I was tired of being drunk, tired of walking and just plain tired. In a word, I was done. Well. Flash forward almost a year and I'm preparing to go do back an do the battle of attrition once again and we're bringing the party back! This year not only is the ninebullets.net party actually located downtown, it's also gonna be two days and featuring plenty on ninebullets.net regulars. You'll find all the [...]

![[YTE YEAR END] SLEPT ON | American Aquarium](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3105991_lg.jpg)
______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________ 4 FREE TACKS FROM SMALL TOWN HYMNS ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________ It's always disheartening to come across an album that is more than deserving to be in your top 35 albums of the year, even more so when it is top 10 material. That's what happened when my Dad pointed me towards American Aquarium 's May, 2010 release, Small Town Hymns . What's even worse is that the band is right under my nose. This Raleigh alt-country band brought a whole lot of heart [whether broken or [...]
![[YTE ORIGINAL MIXTAPE] No Rhyme, No Reason](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3096693_lg.jpg)
Here is a little impromptu mixtape of stuff that I have been listening to heavily lately. There is definitely an alternative country theme here. I did include some upcoming tunes, Tennis and Yuck. If you like some of the stuff, go check them out on Bandcamp , because some of the stuff I found as a free download there. Enjoy this weekend. ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________ DOWNLOAD No Rhyme, No Reason HERE ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________ 1] Adam's House Cat - Nine Bullets [...]
well, i guess this is it, huh? 2010 is just about done, and while i usually wait a little longer to do my end of the year list, i figured at this point it was pretty solidly impacted in my brain. so, there was really no point in waiting. oh, im sure ill hear something between now and the end of the year that will blow my mind, cause thats just the way shit goes. i am not going to talk to much re: the list, and just let the songs i have provided do the talking. why fuck up [...]
Wow, I completely stole this from Gregor over at Captain's Dead but it's great and you need to listen to it.
off one of my favorite records of the year, american aquarium's small town hymns . Tags: american aquarium , best of 2010 , bj barham , small town hymns
Daytrotter has dropped a few sessions that are right up ninebullets alley and I was sitting here in my computer room drinking coffee, setting fantasy lineups as they played in the background so I decided I should tell y'all about them. Last Thursday Jon and Chad from Drag the River made their debut (i think) on Daytrotter playing some tracks from their latest album Demons . It could be argued that these recordings are better than the versions on the album. You can check [...]
was thinking bout this today. so i figured i'd put my picks to paper, or internets as it were. there's been a lot of great stuff, but not too much that has that amazed me. now the question being, would i rather have 2 or 3 amazing records, and the rest so-so, or 10 great records, but maybe no amazing records? i think i would take the latter, but thats just my feeling right now. the futurebirds record keeps getting better and better with each listen, and i am more than super pissed that i missed em [...]
The Back Row Baptists were brought to my attention via some of my fellow Twitter tweeters a few months back, and after a few mishaps one of their new cds, Broken Hearts & Bad Decisions , landed in my mailbox. For a while I really didn't think I liked the album very much but after a few passes I realized that there was just a 4 song stretch (tracks 4 thru 7) in the middle of the cd that I really didn't like. I deleted them and found a new band [...]
I'm sitting here in front of the laptop on the eve of getting to see American Aquarium live for the very first time (by the time you're reading this I'll already have seen them) and I'm preparing to do my third piece about an American Aquarium album. When they first started up they were easily described as Whiskeytown-meets-Lucero, and every obligatory Springsteen reference was earned in full. With their latest album, Small Town Hymns, I feel like the band is finally starting to try and break out of those limits. Some will point at the lyrical content of this album [...]
morning, all. the past month has been good for me, at least musically. actually, the other, larger, more important bits of my life havent been so bad either, not awesome, but yeah not bad either. on the music front, there are roughly 4 to 5, and maybe 6 records that i cannot get enough of. hopefully over the next few days i shall be briefly touching on said records. in the meantime, one of the them records is raleigh, north carolina's american aquarium's fifth studio record, small town hymns . here's the thing that strikes me as [...]
