Shrimp and cheesy grits. This is one of those dishes that holds a very specific geographic connotation for me. The first time I ever tried a dish similar to the one Kasey prepared and is featuring on eating/sf today, I was in Louisiana. And as a result, I can't help but to associate this dish with Louisiana, the South, and Cajun cuisine. This is despite the fact that my San Francisco-based foodie wife's version of the recipe actually surpassed the version I tried in New Orleans. Anyways, with that in mind, I think today's pairing [...]

Seth Augustis " Trickeries of the Great Emptiness " and " Tiny Little Heads " (MP3s courtesy of the music promotional site, Team Clermont). Heh. The second song kind of freaks me out, but not in a bad way. Kind of the same way I was freaked out when I went to New Orleans on my birthday (AKA Halloween) and ran around the cemetery at midnight.* Fond, but creepy memories... *I can't remember if it was the midnight starting my birthday (All Hallow's Eve) or the midnight ending my birthday. I should [...]
Is it just me or have the weeks somehow gotten shorter while also managing to get busier. After all, it's already Friday, but it comes after tons of festival announcements (Sasquatch! included), an attempted stabbing of Axl Rose , and the lineup unveiling for CoS SXSW Day Party #1 . Oy vey. Needless to say, this week's Friday Mixtape comes as a welcome relief! So, enjoy... after all, next week will be here before you know it! NEW Singles: "Red Seas" by Clogs [...]
![Seth Augustus: To The Pouring Rain [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2342065_lg.jpg)
With a sly folk swagger and gravely chops to match the masters, Seth Augustus has created an album somewhere between the laid back ramblings of Tom Waits and the kooky vocals of Captain Beefheart. Opening with "To The Pouring Rain", Augustus's dust-bowl folk styling is fit for a wanderer or vagabond from near a century ago. Such artists seem to have little in common with modern times; instead, they transfer the listener to another point in time. You can hear it not only in the make-up of the [...]

To The Pouring Rain , the new album from Seth Augustus , has been growing on me more and more with each listen. The vocals and phrasing bring to mind bits of Tom Waits, Don Van Vliet, and Nick Cave layed over a foggy blues blend of folk, jazz, and bizarro carnival. Expect sliding strings and the feeling the devil is real and only a few paces away. sound: The Great Emptiness Tiny Little Head [...]

Ever come across the work of a musician who isn't exactly new on the scene and think to yourself, "How on Earth did I not already know about this guy?!" I mean, I'm always coming across new artists I don't know about, but usually they are young (or young-ish) and are either just starting out or finally breaking out of a regional rut. It isn't that often anymore that I come across someone with a few decades under their belt and a significant oeuvre to boot. Shoot, last time that happened was probably when I came to the Vic Chesnutt [...]
