Videodrome :: American Movie (1999)

aquariumdrunkard.com/2023/11/22/v...

In its examination of aspirations, complacency, and the fine line between talent and persistence, few docs have come close to capturing the pursuit of artistic ambitions with as much raw sincerity as American Movie.

Zachary Cale :: Love’s Work

aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/11/26/z...

Cale is back to his primary instrument, the guitar, in a new collection of songs that bridge the difference between Glenn Jones-style finger-picking and expansive, nearly new age-y instrumental music a la Yasmin Williams.
Zachary Cale :: Love’s Work - Aquarium Drunkard
A year ago, Brooklyn songwriter Zachary Cale took a break from routine and made an album entirely on piano. Now Cale is back to his primary instrument, the guitar, in a new collection of songs that br...

Snocaps :: S/T

Wouter Dewit :: Still

Via Hasselt, Belgium. These fleeting weeks between Halloween and Christmas, when the polyester cobwebs on the front porch are swapped out for tinsel garland, have no time to stake out their own identity.

Deep cut oddity from 1973’s oft-maligned Red Rose Speedway is an experimental studio piece featuring Minimoog synthesizer and plays out like a mini-prog opus

Sonic Youth :: Washing Machine at 30

aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/11/19/s...

Three decades in, Washing Machine now feels like the most clear divide between the first and second halves of Sonic Youth’s career, an insightful Polaroid of the band at that fiery transitional moment.

The Joys of Cookin’: Tracks from Groove Merchant, 1971-1974 (A Mixtape)

aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/11/21/t...

Founded in 1971, Sonny Lester’s short-lived Groove Merchant label had grooves to spare. Call it a case of truth in advertising.

Midnite Jazz: Dexter Gordon - Ballads

aquariumdrunkard.com/2025/11/17/d...

Doing what he does best: playing ballads. This 1991 Blue Note comp is filled with choice cuts that find Gordon and company locking into sleepy pockets where each phrase is given room to dally in the space between beats.
