Lagniappe Sessions :: Sean Thompson's Weird Ears, Spencer Cullum's Coin Collection, Emergency Group, Hollow Hand + Aoife Nessa Frances
Aquarium Drunkard! What a nice website — and I'd be saying that even if I weren't a regular contributor over there, swear to god. For example, the Lagniappe Sessions! Extremely cool cover versions played by extremely cool artists all for the extremely cool price of $0.00. This summer there have been some great ones, so let's get caught up.
Straight outta Nashville, Sean Thompson's Weird Ears give us some country-fried (emphasis on the fried) sounds, including an inspired Tennessee Three-style remake of Lucinda Williams' classic "Lost It." Pedal steel maestro Spencer Cullum's Lagniappe features some of the same Weird Ears crew, putting imaginative spins on Slapp Happy, Soft Machine and Mariangela Celeste.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn's Can-tastic Emergency Group takes things into the outer reaches of interstellar space with what I believe is the Lagniappe Sessions' very first Prokofiev interpretation. It works! And finally, Hollow Hand and Aoife Nessa Frances join forces for two wonderful covers: the Robert Wyatt / Elvis Costello masterpiece "Shipbuilding" and a magnificently hazy rendition of Yo La Tengo's "Always Something." What a gift!
Listening to all of these makes me think that it might be time for a third volume of Lagniappe Sessions on wax ... check out the previous editions here and here. (And hey, I wrote the liner notes for that second volume.)

hello besties. album order is very intentional when it comes to the mountain goats, so the question is not what your favorite album opener is, but rather: which of these songs is the best at being an album opener?
i'd love to hear your reasoning in the tags, and if your favorite isn't the same as what you voted for, i'd love to hear what that is too!
i will be tagging all my polls 'tmg polls' and the rest in this series of polls can be found here. let me know in the replies or tags if you'd like to be tagged in future polls/posts!

Aquarium Drunkard's The Lagniappe Sessions features Eli Winter, who's self-titled LP came out today!
"For his debut Lagniappe Session, Winter applies his solo guitar to a set of songs by Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell, Maria BC, Judee Sill, and Karen Dalton, suggesting the songs said angels might wordlessly sing."

“The Bon Iver song that I initially read as being about junkies in the Pacific Northwest donating plasma for money in the ’80s, because that was a thing a lot of my friends did and a lot of those friends have gone home to God now so this song holds, for me, both great pain, and the sweet memory of friends too beautiful for this world “ -John Darnielle

Prairiewolf - Lagniappe Session
We checked out an I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One-era Yo La Tengo tape yesterday ... today, we've got Prairiewolf covering an ICHTHBAO classic. Jeremy, Stefan and I made our Lagniappe Session debut over on Aquarium Drunkard this week with our take on YLT's luminous/lovely "Green Arrow" alongside an extended/extremely heady rendition of the unclassifiable Eddie Harris/Melvin Jackson jam "Silver Cycles." Huzzah for gratis grooves! Thank you to AD for asking us to be a part of the Lagniappe legacy. An honor and a privilege.
What else!? Prairiewolf is playing a show THIS FRIDAY down in Denver at Enigma Bazaar. It's a stacked bill, featuring the mighty Moon Bros. and The International Disassociation of Aaron Dooley. You don't want to miss it. Afterwards, Aaron is taking his crew out on the road for an honest-to-goodness tour, going all over the place. Check out the dates and go see him!
More???! How about Of Ambience and Americana, a killer Centripetal Force collection that just showed up this week, offering up some very sweet "ambient Americana" zones. Prairiewolf's "Lunar Deluxe" makes an appearance — and I'd be lying if I didn't swell up with pride seeing our name listed amongst so many greats: Nashville Ambient Ensemble, Eve Maret, Joseph Allred and more. Go get it!
ONE MORE THING. Golden Brown's Wide Ranging Rider is out NOW on Inner Islands — and I implore you to grab your copy. The more I listen, the more I'm convinced that it's Stefan's best work yet, stripping things back considerably, but still finding an expansive, magical vibe. A raspberry cloud to float away on ...

Read Aquarium Drunkard’s The Lagniappe Sessions featuring Cy Dune!
“Cy Dune serves as the stage name of Seth Olinsky of the now defunct Akron/Family. While the music of his former group resides somewhere at the intersection of noise, new age, free jazz and rock ’n’ roll, Cy Dune is rooted in the raw power of guitar and drums — where proto-punk beats blast, and early rock ’n’ roll dances over layered drum riffs. It’s like Teen Wolf fronting The Starlighters – it is hairy but it’s the future!” More from Seth HERE
