A rainy Monday; deepest, darkest Leeds 6 and two be-hatted miserablists. How's that for a recipe for a fun night? Pretty irresistable from where I'm standing. Eitzel was headlining, of course, and Nicolay admitted he was a bit starstruck and had learned the guitar from Songs of Love . I'm just posting up the cover of Nicolay's album because, well, it's a good 'tache. And he's sporting a similar number. So, a night of tears in beers, jokey openings and jumping in the crowd for Franz, Rabelasian stories from Mark (samples: " [...]

Well this is a bit of a big week for Song, by Toad Records. Apart from the fact that the Loch Lomond/Builders & the Butchers split 123 is now officially available to buy, we also have the Meursault single launch on Saturday, with three of my favourite bands. We're releasing four A-sides on two 73 singles, on clear vinyl: new recordings of William Henry Miller Parts One and Two are going back to back with A Few Kind Words and the Dirt & the Roots from Pissing on Bonfires/Kissing With Tongues. Officially, neither single is being released until the first [...]
Als muzikant mag je blij zijn als je iemand zoals mij als fan hebt. Ik ben namelijk hondstrouw. Het is misschien een beetje een saaie eigenschap, maar het is niet anders. Artiesten zoals Damien Jurado, Richard Buckner en de Handsome Family volg ik al jaren- ik koop hun albums en laat, als het even kan, mijn neus zien bij optredens. In 1991 kocht ik Songs of Love van Mark Eitzel en ik was verkocht. Met terugwerkende kracht kocht ik alles dat Eitzel met zijn band American Music Club tot dan toe uit hadden gebracht. En ik [...]

The music industry is driven by the desire to make money . A decade ago, the most universal of the American music companies (including Universal itself) were controlled by the likes of Seagram . Today, the honor goes to Vivendi . Perhaps Monsanto will be in control tomorrow. "How does a music company become more profitable?" This is the question that those that have the pocket change ask themselves occasionally. The answer is usually somewhere along the lowest common denominator. What do people already like? [...]

Mark Eitzel se ne sta per uscire con una nuova raccolta di composizioni intitolata Klamath , in pratica gli American Music Club ricondotti alla loro essenza più scabra e intima.

Francesca Pontiggia era presente al concerto di milano del 17 ottobre e ha realizzato alcuni scatti per noi Mark Eitzel in rete Acquista Klamath [...]
Michel de Broin - Black Whole Conference (2006) I'm sorry this isn't very subtle today. It sounds like taking off my shoe and throwing it at you. But I'm not mad. Surely you understand. Everything gets old. Mark Eitzel - I Live In This Place (mp3)
The Flax Happy album was a bit much to digest but I much prefer these bite sized chunks, especially as they contain the two best tracks on the album, both duets with the fantastic Texan ol' timey singer Jolie Holland. One of them, 'Heart of Misery (The Bough)', is the lead track on this single, an intensely sorrowful ballad with a suicidal theme ("as I climb the ruffled tree/ I know life was not meant for me"). 'Gone' carries on the theme ("you'll be free from me") but 'Sweetheart' lets a little sunshine into his heart. Though a [...]

Nice stuff said to be informed by the city comes from singer / songwriter Alan Semerdjian and his newly released album The Big Beauty . As much as I love me sometimes I just want to get as far away from myself as possible. The Big Beauty granted that escape. "Halo" is my favorite, featuring a pacing gaze of the sprawling metropolis bringing to mind Mark Eitzel. audio: Your Love Can't Wait http://www.myspace.com/semerdj ian [...]
