For @aquariumdrunkard.com, I interviewed Booker Stardrum, who's had some year, releasing a solo record and albums with Play Time, Silk Fence, his duo with Evan Shornstein, and, of course, the mighty SML! I talked to him about all of this work and much more. aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/10/15/b...

It was this month, October, in 1959 when Robert Zimmerman started using the stage name Bob Dillon at the Ten o’clock Scholar in Minneapolis. He’d just arrived from Hibbing for his first year at the University of Minnesota and was trying to make a (new) name for himself at the folk clubs of Dinkytown

Lee remembers Bob as a "cleancut kid," very intense and deter-mined.
"Do you mind if I play?" Bob asked when he wandered into The Scholar sometime in October. "I want to be a folk singer."
Lee chatted with him briefly, learned that Bob had some experience, and told him it was all right to play. "I'm not going to pay you," …

So happy that my former NYU colleague Anne Carson has won the literature Nobel. She used to run a class that involved physical improv (confronting for MFA writing students). I taught straight after her, moving the tables back and wishing I too had spent three hours with Anne being a tree

'Nashville Skyline' is the unique situation when Bob Dylan acts like it's perfectly normal that his new LP is a wildly horny 28-minute Country & Western album wherein he sings like a particularly hash-drunk Dean Martin. Eventually, we agree that it's utterly flawless. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZhL...

David Lowery: “When my younger son was about 12 he decided he needed me to stop telling him stories about meeting members of the various bands he was listening to. ‘Dad, these stories you tell us, I'm sure were really important moments in your life, and you should be proud of them, but you know sometimes it takes the magic out of the music.’ Last week he's driving me to the airport and he decides to play me Jason Molina. I let him tell me all about Songs:Ohia, Magnolia Electric Company and The Sojourner Series. I didn't say a word. Now I'm roasting him here.”

Jason Molina interview:

You also worked with David Lowery. How did you first meet David?
I HAVE BEEN A CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN FAN FOR YEARS AND YEARS. THAT WAS ONE BAND THAT STOOD OUT IN THE YEARS WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO A LOT OF HEAVY MUSIC, I THOUGHT BRINGING ALL OF THESE FOLK MUSIC ELEMENTS INTO THIS PUNK ROCK WORLD WAS BRILLIANT. I STILL COULD LISTEN TO BIG BLACK OR BLACK SABBATH AND NOT FEEL THAT CAMPER WAS OUT OF LINE. IT WAS ALL ABOUT GOOD SONGS, SO WHEN I HEARD THAT ALL OF THEIR GEAR HAD BEEN STOLEN I OFFERED UP WHAT I HAD TO THE BAND, THAT WAS HOW WE FIRST MET.

What was Lowery’s Sound of Music studio like? How was Lowery’s method different from Albini’s?
FOR THE SESSIONS WITH LOWERY, HE ACTUALLY WOULD PUT ON A GUITAR OR A BASS OR WHATEVER AND WORK OUT IDEAS ON THE FLOOR. THIS SESSION WAS MOSTLY A SITUATION LIKE "THE PYRAMID ELECTRIC COMPANY" WHERE I WOULD SLEEP IN THE STUDIO AND WRITE ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT AND MORNING AND TRY TO COME UP WITH IDEAS TO SHOW TO THE BAND. DAVID WAS VERY GOOD AT HELPING TO GET THE ARRANGEMENTS TO BE INTERESTING. ALSO ON THE SESSIONS' CONTROLS AND OTHER MUSICAL DUTIES WAS ALAN WEATHERHEAD. HE BROUGHT A BRILLIANT STYLE AND A LOT OF TASTE TO THE FINAL RECORD.

I attended last week's performance by LCD Soundsystem at Asheville's Hellbender and wrote about the show and reflected a bit on who they are as a band in 2026. ashevillestages.com/music/review...

A great (and telling) thing about the Big Ears festival - you can have 100 people who are over the moon psyched about the lineup, and all 100 have vastly different artists on their "must-see" lists.
