Melancholy Monday (04/02)

Apr 2, 2012, 3:01am Ivy League Spins

I think you know the drill by now. Monday = another playlist. The keenest eyed and sharpest memory'd listener will notice that this is the first Melancholy Monday featuring an artist who already showed up in an earlier playlist (strictly speaking, so, for example, I'm not counting "Wilco" and "Billy Bragg & Wilco" as the same artist), so the first person to figure out who that artist is will be roundly mocked for not having a life. Enjoy. 1. Yaz: Winter Kills ("Upstairs At Eric's," 1982) 2. Sufjan Stevens: The Seer's [...]

Ryan Adams & Gillian Welch – 16 Days (Live at Exit/In)

Nov 19, 2010, 5:21pm Quit Mumbling

Because this week has felt like an eternity, and the gray skies in LA are just kind of telling of the exhaustion I feel; I decided to post some "comfort music".  You know, the music that is like mac 'n' cheese- the music that is always a perfect to go-to.  No effort involved, and will always fill you up.  See below for a beautiful rendition of the Whiskeytown classic "16 Days" bolstered by the harmonies of Gillian Welch.  Let me know what your "comfort music" is in the comments below (as mine extends to Ryan Adams and that's about it...)

Whiskeytown: Strangers Almanac Deluxe Edition (2008)

Mar 31, 2008, 5:33pm Captain Obvious

New Wax A short-lived yet important cornerstone in the early alt. country scene, North Carolina's Whiskeytown might be best known as the early vehicle that catapulted Ryan Adams into a solo career. Pairing the young songwriter's prolific talent with the harmonies and fiddle playing of Caitlin Cary, the band made some important material but only managed a few albums and ultimately broke up in 1999. Now available in a brand new deluxe packaging with 26 extra tracks, the band's 1997 album Strangers Almanac marked the band's [...]

Whiskeytown's Strangers Almanac To Be Reissued

Jan 30, 2008, 4:05pm Captain Obvious

You Should Know Admittedly disappointed by Easy Tiger , I'm still a diehard Ryan Adams fan, and as for most diehard Ryan Adams fan, that makes me a diehard Whiskeytown fan.  Founded in Raleigh, NC, the acclaimed alt. country band managed only three albums before disbanding.  While they were short-lived, their success was enough to propel lead singer Ryan Adams into a solo career. For those of you with a similar Whiskeytown addiction, you're probably as ecstatic as I am about the [...]
