Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Reckoning (Article)
Monday, June 17, 2013
“Reckoning was a chance to turn up the volume, tear up the rule book, and instead capture R.E.M.’s on-stage mojo.” – Don Dixon (producer, Reckoning) My relationship with Reckoning began roughly 23 years ago via a dubbed cassette copy I recorded off my friend’s older brother’s vinyl LP. The flip side of the tape was Lifes Rich Pageant.I still have the cassette, the sleeve’s paper yellowed and stained, with the track titles written in the hand of a 13 year old boy. The red ink is a bit smeared and runs in places, and the cassette itself sounds a bit warped and thin. It is seasoned in the way

Thursday, June 13, 2013
Every Tuesday and Thursday, former Warner Bros. Records executive and industry insider Stan Cornyn ruminates on the past, present, and future of the music business. Ahmet and Stiggy Keep Going Steady Rock groups broke up overnight in the ‘60s, but their managers held tight to their members. Certainly that was the case of Atlantic’s Atco label and Stigwood’s RSO. They had learned to represent individual artists’ careers, not just artists as groups. As Cream was breaking apart, as the Bee Gees were losing their brotherhood, Ahmet Ertegun and his London-based cohort Stiggy treated their artists

Stay Tuned By Stan Cornyn: Cream On (Article)
Tuesday, June 11, 2013
Every Tuesday and Thursday, former Warner Bros. Records executive and industry insider Stan Cornyn ruminates on the past, present, and future of the music business.

Afloat amid the shifting bands, shifting from jazz to blues to rock to psychedelic, were these three kings: • Ginger Baker (drummer) felt constrained by his gig leading the Graham Bond Organisation, even though Bond himself was generally praised for bringing English R&B to life. But Bond did drugs too much, and Baker wanted out

Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Fables of the Reconstruction (Article)
Tuesday, June 11, 2013
As the last remnants of Summer began to burn off throughout the length of September 2010, the stage was set for the reissue of R.E.M.’s third LP, 1985′s Fables of The Reconstruction. If context is indeed everything, then Fables is woolen, wood-smoke and that unmistakable crisping of Autumn air. Over Twenty five years after its initial release, Fables continues to inhabit a curious place in the R.E.M. discography. Perhaps ironically, as it was recorded in the UK, the LP feels the most inherently “Southern” of any of the groups output before or since. The cadence and inflection in Stipe’s vocals
