A surprisingly quiet month at our local B&N's, especially the USQ mothership. Here are some February 2012 bookstore events that looked interesting to me for one reason or another.

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Q + A Deborah Lopez Mike Doughty isn't going to kid you: "I can't renounce drugs. I love drugs," he writes early in his new memoir, ' The Book of Drugs .' It's a frank chronicle of the early part of Doughty's career, from working as a doorman at the Knitting Factory in the early '90s to assembling, almost by accident, the musicians who became [...]

Mike Doughty releases his new album Yes And Also Yes on February 13th. Previously front man of Soul Coughing , he has also written a brutally honest and unflinching autobiography that catalogues the utterly dysfunctional nature of his band and his own descent into full-on drug addiction. The album is his fourth as a solo artist and it is immediately apparent that the man's scalpel sharp lyricism and wordplay have not deserted him - just listen to the opening lines of first track and single Na Na Nothing below. While a playfulness [...]
Back in 2009, Ben Kweller threw his fans a bit of a curve-ball with the release of Changing Horses , which saw the singer-songwriter ditch his grunge-pop sound, when he decided to make a straight-ahead country record. After dabbling with pedal steel guitars, and dusty country laments, Kweller will release his long in the works follow up, Go Fly A Kite , on February 7, which is promising to hit "hard with the unforgettably melodic and heartwarming fuzzed-out Rock 'n' Roll that first put Kweller on the map." The album, [...]
The holiday season is upon us (also basketball season, finally). But mostly, it's the season of ugly sweaters, drunk uncles, and, if you're a teenager, enough gift cards to paper your walls because nobody knows what to get you. We here at The Wild Honey Pie are better at Christmas shopping than your great Aunt Mildred, though. We put together a holiday playlist full of classics and indie favorites that will keep your earbuds warm when the weather outside starts to get frightful. There's no better soundtrack to accompany the decking of halls, the nogging of eggs, [...]
Ahead of the release of his fourth solo album 'Yes and Also Yes' - and first biographical offering The Book of Drugs , both released on 23rd January 2012 - the revered former Soul Coughing frontman Mike Doughty gives us a musical taster in the form of seasonal single "Holiday (What Do You Want?)." "Holiday…" is noteworthy for many reasons. First, Doughty is an inspiration to many a muso. Tom Vek recently said in an NME interview [...]
Doughty's latest solo offers provides fun hooks and plenty of nuggets to reward multiple listens. Mike Doughty came to a sort of prominence leading the band Soul Coughing, and it's obligatory to refer to him as being ex- of that band, which disbanded a decade ago for a number of reasons. By this point, though, he's recorded more music as a solo artist, and it might be that his post-band career will be the era that has a more lasting impact. He's developed a specific sound over the last decade...

Mike Doughty has a way with words. Since he embarked on his solo career in 2000 (after the break-up of his band Soul Coughing), Doughty's music has been characterized by two traits: his adherence to the rules of what worked for '90s rock and his lyrical craftsmanship. The result is somewhere between the Goo Goo Dolls and Barenaked Ladies. His stage presence, which he brought to World Café today for a Free at Noon show, reflects that dynamic. He is low key, exuding a quiet confidence that his songs will stir up the crowd, yet he addressed the audience [...]
Via NPR Music : With his off-kilter sense of humor and tendency to venture into realms of experimental rock and jazz, Mike Doughty had a few tricks up his sleeve when he took the stage for a performance from World Cafe Live in Philadelphia. Doughty led the now-defunct, genre-defying '90s band Soul Coughing before heading out on his own, beginning with his solo debut Skittish in 1996. His 2005 release, Haughty Melodic, contains the hit "Looking at the World From the Bottom of a Well," while songs such as "27 Jennifers" and "Busting [...]

![MALE BONDING, CSS, THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS [WEEK'S TOP RELEASES]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3686655_lg.jpg)
Each week, we'll be giving you a list of the new releases that we're most stoked to hear. From the pop of Juliana Hatfield to the Red Hot Chili Peppers sound without John Frusciante, this round should certainly be filled with a few surprises. Enjoy! The second full-length from Londoners Male Bonding comes rather quickly after their debut just last year, but Endless Now promises even more rushing guitars than its predecessor Nothing Hurts . It also includes the incomparable Frankie [...]
With the east coast still recovering from Hurrican Irene, it's a little hard to focus on new releases this week, but let's give it a try.

Speaking of solo careers, Butch Walker has got a new album out this week, and so does Tom Morello . And to relive the 90s, get ready for new records from Red Hot [...]
