Psst! Quick, while no-one's looking, swap the CD out and put this one on. Did you know that Timothy Leary had a musical director? No, I didn't either. Don't really know why he needed one either, but with Leary it was always best not to ask. Turns out that musical director was Peter Walker, and as you might imagine there is something of a psychedelic edge to his raga-folk guitar picking. He plays to the beat of an different drummer here on Hot Fusion . The crossing rhythmic patterns will... oh [...]
My New Orleans Public School kindergarten report card. Same as it ever was. This has been a nutty year, filled with lots of sorrow which I worried I might never get over. But I did. Or at least, I'm out of the tunnel, and I amazed by my own resilience or whatever it is. Of course, music is the panacea, and I've found a lot of music to dig this year. So I'd like to share this mix with my readers. Including but not limited to: Cher covering The Kinks. Young Michael Jackson tackling the complexities [...]
With all the re-issuing of '60s and '70s folk at the moment, every so often you're going to stumble across a real gem. That's the case with Peter Walker's City Pulse , originally recorded in 1970. It's a piece in the then-fashionable raga-folk style, and indeed is prone to a few of the excesses of that genre. I can live quite happily without hearing swooping, shrieking flutes ever again, thank you. But that's only a small part of City Pulse . What makes this is Walker's electric guitar and some fine, propulsive drumming [...]
Silversun Pickups bassist Nikki Monninger and Eulogies guitarist/lead singer Peter Walker's video for their lovely duet, "Two Can Play." Can't say the video makes a whole lot of sense to me, but many guy friends who've seen it have rhapsodized about Monninger in a tennis skirt, so maybe that's its point? Give a Listen : Two Can Play-Eulogies (with Nikki Monninger) Buy: Eulogies , Silversun Pickups Subscribe in a [...]
Words by JENZ Photos by Sarahana Peter Walker's got a lot on his mind: how to say what we want to, when we have to, and dealing with the process. Such heavy-hitting questions may take a toll on us regular people, but for the California native, that preoccupation with illustrating human emotion spills over into his songwriting. Leading a pack of like-minded guys, Walker and his band Eulogies have Here Anonymous - released last week on [...]
Peter Walker, lead singer of Eulogies , recorded a series of five songs in his home/bedroom, dubbed them "The Homespun Sessions", and will be releasing them via the internetz up until their new album's April 7th release. The tracks are basically acoustic previews of that upcoming full-length, entitled Here Anonymous . The album will be released by Dangerbird Records. Eulogies - Eyes On The Prize (The Homespun Sessions) Previous: [...]
With such a direct reference to sadness in their band name, you'd think that Eulogies might just be another one of those sad bastard types. Leading man Peter Walker clarifies that he doesn't focus on remembering the dead, but rather "saying those things that someone would say only at that moment but wish they had said right now". Take that idea of true sincerity in the lyrics with a superb backing indie rock band, and you've got Eulogies in a nutshell. The band is also about to release their sophomore effort LP Here Anonymous [...]
Peter Walker, lead singer of Eulogies , recorded a series of five songs in his home/bedroom, dubbed them "The Homespun Sessions", and will be releasing them via the internetz over the next month or so. The tracks are basically acoustic previews of the band's upcoming full-length album, Here Anonymous . The album will be released by Dangerbird Records on April 7th. The first track, Bad Connection , maybe my early favorite of the group, has already been disseminated to the masses, so today we're premiering [...]
Time to clean out the inbox again. There was not only a ton of music there, but there was a lot of really good stuff, too. And I don't necessarily mean to say that like I'm surprised to find good music. I got a few submissions from Touch and Go Records and every one of them was great – rockin' stuff. Not only newer stuff like Crystal Antlers, but also punk veterans the Jesus Lizard (who, by the way, will be playing the Pitchfork festival in July if you get a chance to [...]
![Eulogies lead singer gives away track he wrote for The Wrestler [new mp3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1574575_lg.jpg)
The Oscars are long gone so I know this is a bit outdated, but I'm cleaning out our inbox and have a few mp3's to post. Peter Walker, lead singer of Eulogies, recently released a nice track he recorded for The Wrestler as a free download. It should agree with fans of Centro-matic. Peter Walker (of Eulogies) - 39 Stars
Peter Walker the lead singer of Eulogies has just released a song inspired by the amazing film the Wrestler who was nominated for best picture but lost, so...wha wha wha; however this song by Peter Walker is amazing and a great legacy this movie will leave us. Peter Walker - 39 Stars [...]
There were way more than just 39 stars at The Oscars last night, and it was actually a pretty good watch. I was way more engaged than I had been in years past. The Ben Stiller/Joaquim Phoenix impersonation was good for a laugh or two. I often don't really care who wins these things, but a lot of people thought Micky Rourke was robbed of Best Actor. Today, Peter Walker, lead singer of Eulogies , is giving away the track he recorded for Oscar-nominated Micky Rourke's movie [...]
Photography by Julie Rey Say whaaaat ? We already got enough songs for Volume Two, or as the French Canadian says, "Volume Deux, eh"? Fuck yeah! Or as the French Canadian would also say, " Québec Devienne Souverain !" Seems like just the other day we squeaked out our first twenty songs in our first volume of our much hailed and heralded Mixtape By Numbers , but our amazing members down in the society weren't content to stop at 20 [...]
Litany of Echoes contains a great deal of stunning musicianship. And James Blackshaw , who has released more full lengths in five years than anyone could expect, continues to exhibit his compositional skills. Unfortunately for him, he's British and listeners should be able to tell pretty quickly. If given a chance, any fan can differentiate between Bert Jansch and Townes Van Zandt . Their respective countries are vocally expressed through music. The same is true of Blackshaw – except his cultural baggage is displayed via his 12-string [...]
I'm suffering from a bit of writer's block today. I just feel tired and unable to write about various bands I wanted to post on. I have a few random mp3s on my hard drive from bands that have very little information on them or that I haven't bothered checking out more then one track. I think you can call this a personal one hit wonder. I actually enjoy all these tracks and for whatever reason I haven't pursued to look for more mp3s and band information. I've decided to link to the band's myspaces (even though [...]

EA Mix vol 04 - The End Draws Near zip file : this is the place to get all tracks in one easy to go package. please note that with this link you must right click [...]
Peter Walker is a fellow from California, but his music doesn't quite match the Californian stereotype. While its basis is modern indie rock, some of the singing on I'm Through wouldn't be out of place in a country rock song. Besides that, while it's catchy, it's not quite catchy , which gives it more of a lasting appeal. Oh I know, lasting appeal shouldn't even be mentioned on music blogs, where it is all about the newest hotness, but there's little I dislike more than writing about a band only to realize a week later that [...]
Westcoast Lazy Sunday rock? I don't know if this the sound that the entire California listen, I've never been there, but It's pretty relaxing to me. Sort of like cruising rock in Neil Young , mild Wilco rendition, long streech of road with repeating landscape on the window. Peter Walker is LA based singer-songwriter Peter Walker : I Came Around , Landed (Dangerbird, 2004) Peter Walker : 39 Stars , Young Gravity (Dangerbird, 2006) Peter Walker [...]
