Photos courtesy of White Boy & the Average Rat Band But for all the times it's been burned, blogged, and mp3'd, White Boy & the Average Rat Band's 1980 self-titled debut LP would be a late (and possibly the last) entry in the Greatest Post-Punk Albums Nobody's Ever Heard. Supposedly a) recorded by early 80s Baltimore punks nobody in Baltimore remembers, b) part of the pact of a late 70s Toledo death cult whose members obligingly killed each other off or c) left by sportive aliens at a roadside Piggly Wiggly near Bluefield, WV, [...]
I flipped my lid when I stumbled across a copy of Icons Among Us: Jazz in the Present Tense at my local library. I'd been eager to see the documentary for a couple years. Alas, it wasn't quite as definitive as I'd hoped. Some of the footage that had piqued my interest in various clips at YouTube didn't make the cut. (The material is presumably available on the deluxe edition .) And the finished product seems disjointed- it skips about randomly. My favorite bits include Donald Harrison [...]
Before Alchemist and Oh No released Gutter Water , I wasn't sure what to think; any time that two producing emcees collaborate on a project, I'm almost certainly going to compare their effort to Champion Sound by Jaylib. I still remember picking up my copy of Gutter Water the day that it came out, and I also remember being completely blown away. There was one immediate thought that came to my mind: Should I pour bleach into my ears to clean out the filth that I had just [...]
One of my favorite releases thus far in 2012 is Funky As Usual , a new LP from the Paris production duo The Funk League. The two French producers, both avid record collectors and music heads, put the LP together over three years, and brought in some of underground Hip Hop's most storied emcees in Sadat X, Large Professor, Buff 1, and more. It was their love of Hip Hop culture, break beats, and rare grooves that brought the two together and also what won them respect of heads worldwide. Via email, I talked to [...]
Otro miércoles ha llegado a nuestras vidas y eso sólo significa que es momento de presentarles una nueva propuesta musical que creemos puede gustarles, interesarles o de menos hacerles más agradable el resto de la semana. En esta ocasión vamos a hablar de una banda que de hecho nos envío su propuesta a nuestro correo electrónico, algo que por supuesto pueden hacer todos, tanto para hablarnos de sus agrupaciones como para recomendarnos a alguien en particular. Nuestro grupo del día se llama Wannabe Jalva y es un cuarteto originario de Porto Alegre Brasil que se formó [...]
Jamuel Saxon was conceived from Keith Milgaten, a San Diego musician with a new found love for dance music with intelligence. After a battle with drink and drugs Keith got his head down, taking on a few new members and writing a record with good vibes and structured songs. The Jamuel Saxon debut, Pre-Madonna , is an album full of ideas and deep thought - and it might even get you on the dancefloor. We caught up with the main man and fired some questions his way. Bowlegs: So [...]
Regardless of where you live, if you walk the streets of your city/town/village with the sun up or the sun down you will inevitably find something interesting. It might be an interesting sight. It might be an interesting place. In my case it was an interesting person that I discovered while walking downtown one evening on a relatively normal street corner. Standing in front of a nondescript storefront was a man, short of stature, playing an electric guitar. There was a good sized amp set up behind him, with the power cord running through the [...]

![[MP3] Roman Ruins: “Mighty Love”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4024851_lg.jpg)
31 year-old Graham Hill has had his fair share of experiences and successes. He's performed with Beach House and Papercuts on tour, and even contributed to Beach House's excellent Teen Dream . Now out on his own with his Roman Ruins project, Graham shows he's more than a live/studio drummer... so, so much more than that. Roman Ruins - Mighty Love "Mighty Love" is the first single from Roman Ruins' debut album Homebuilding , a [...]
Three music films stand out among the week's DVD releases. Talking Heads: Chronology shares video of the band's live performances from 1975-2002. The Other F Word is a documentary about punk rockers and fatherhood. PJ Harvey: Let England Shake: 12 Short Films By Seamus Murphy offers Murphy's music videos for each song on Harvey's 2011 album of the same name. The Ryan Gosling vehicle (pun intended) Drive and the modern prelude to the [...]
(Photo by Kristy Milliken) Rocking up to someone's 21st birthday bash, is always fun. Yet, turning up when you don't know that person from a bar of soap, is a pretty radical move. With the Meredith Music Festival 2011, this cheeky move turned out to be one of the best decisions of my entire life. Expectations were daunting, Meredith has always been one of the most talked up events on the musical calender and for good reason. It would be impossible to recount every experience, sight and sound of Meredith 2011, so here are a few of the highlights [...]

Chris Malinchak continues to blow us away. Hot on the heels of his EP "Vilette" , which was released back in October, the funky house producer drove all the way down to Hollywood for inspiration. And yes, he found it alright. He's crafted three excellent tracks of pure funky goodness that will lead you straight to the dancefloor. It's groovy, it's pure sex, it's big! If we had to pick one cut (not that easy) that will be the track "At Night". Super dope. Chris Malinchak's "Holllywood" EP is out now on [...]
Himanshu, FKA Heems, spends a considerable amount of time delving into the identity politics and cultural penumbras of his Indian-American heritage, and no song title codifies that more than this new track he released yesterday, via Twitter , from a laptop in Australia. But for Bollywood laypeople, it's worth noting that the "Mr. India" is actually a reference to the '90s mega-hit superhero film of the same name, which my brother and I repeatedly watched the shit out of while holed up in an air conditioned room on my last trip to India over ten years ago. It's classic [...]

While Jesse Ed Davis' legacy has finally started to see the light of recognition, there is still a long way to go in establishing his rightful place in the pantheon of rock and roll legends. The Kiowa guitarist's career encompassed work with everyone from Conway Twitty to John Lee Hooker to Bob Dylan, and his time served in the original Taj Mahal band would be highly influential on up-and-coming guitar slingers like Duane Allman (he being the inspiration for the latter's taking up bottleneck-style guitar in the first place). Davis never really managed to establish himself as a [...]
As Mardi Gras approaches in earnest, fans of the Radiators are lamenting the loss of our soundtrack of the season. As a way of assuaging the angst, TVD is offering a free copy of the latest full-length download from the pen of Ed Volker. Read on for details on how to win. When Volker retired last June after over 33 years leading the celebrated New Orleans band, he said he wasn't going to play in public for at least six months. But he never said he was going to quit composing. His new 12-song collection, [...]
Woah, in terms of Gigantic puns, that one has got to be up there with the best of them, although it only works if you pronounce Gotye incorrectly, and with a Northern Irish Accent. Apparently it's actually pronounced in a similar way to Gaultier. Anyway, name nonsense aside, this blog post is dedicated to Gotye. The first person to recommend him to me was Mike Mormecha from the band Mojo Fury. Then, not too long after that, Suzie McCracken recommended I check him out as well. I figured it was about time to pay attention. So, the [...]
