The Howls // Rocky Ground

Rocky Ground was released January 27, 2012. I could think of a lot worse things you could spend 10 smackers on. For fans of that alt-country feelin’. Their entire collection is worth a listen and a 10 spot.

TV Girl // Benny and the Jetts

This weekend we dusted off some old Elton John records and drank vodka. I suppose that is what you do when your car gets towed.

Country Mice :: Morning Son (video)

Harmon Drive — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:55:08 +0000

Although I forgot to add it on my favorite albums of 2011 the Country Mice debut “Twister” was indeed a favorite record of mine this past year. Here is their first ever music video which compiles images of my favorite theme: Life on the Road

On the footage…Frontman Jason Rueger told American Songwriter, “The video is compiled of footage that was shot on our last tour, It’s us seeing a lot of these cities for the first time, capturing the moments in between shows. Our friend Gordon Holmes edited it together and wove it into a narrative within the context of the song.”

One of the raddest tunes around…

While browsing the aisles today at Reckless Records, I came across a rockabilly/surf/garage section. I could sort through this specific category of vinyl half the day and all night inhaling dust and getting lost in warm nostalgic album art. Once I got back home, I decided to buy the Allah-Las debut 7 inch record while my mind was still vibing on garage/surf tunes and sure enough the first pressing was sold out (for good reason). Bummer. Dig on this track if you have never heard it, it is certainly a track that can take over a night.

Allah-Las – Catamaran

Damien Jurado // Maraqopa

Maraqopa out 2/21

Damien Jurado – Museum of Flight

Seattle singer-songwriter Damien Jurado will release his new album, ‘Maraqopa’, on February 21 from the fine folks over at Secretly Canadian. The album was produced by HD favorite Richard Swift. This record looks promising given the track above and the other tastes I have sampled.

Enjoy a couple of classic videos below that are HD staples by Damien.
