My last Dusted review for the year is up today. It’s Jay Bolotin’s self-titled folk album, briefly available around its 1970 release, then lost for decades until Locust Music picked it up for reissue. Here’s part of the review: Another in the parade of long-lost singer-songwriter records recently recovered and dusted off for contemporary consideration, Jay Bolotin’s self-titled...

Thoughtfully brought to you by Dealbreaker. Because there’s just so much crime and slime emanating from Wall Street lately that they couldn’t even wait until Friday to list the news. As the Fugs said, sometimes the gutter wears a tuxedo.

And another one for Majo : the Fugs, 1968. The dancing hippie in the first song is unbelievable.

Among other things, Tom Noonan is a musician , playwright, and writer-director of two acclaimed films ( What Happened Was , The Wife ), but most will sooner recognize this tall, reserved but eerily intense gentleman as a memorable character actor from films as diverse as Manhunter , Mystery Train , and Synecdoche New York . His latest chance to effortlessly steal scenes arrives in Ti West 's wonderfully...

"Harry Smith is best known for compiling the *Anthology of American Folk Music*, the highly influential 1952 collection that had a significant hand in the blues and folk revival of the '50s and '60s. What isn't as widely known is that Smith—also a painter, linguist, and anthropologist—created a significant body of experimental films: kinetic, vibrant, sometimes abstract work that earned...

I definitely missed the boat on this 1970 lost classic when it first got reissued last year by the great Light in the Attic label, but boy am I glad that I finally heard it. This album has the best elements of mid ’60s BOB DYLAN, LOVE and the street poetry of mid ’60s proto-punk acts like THE FUGS rolled in one! That’s not to say that Rodriguez sounds like anyone other than himself....

I've always loved the Music Machine's Talk Talk, dig those get ups! From the TAMI Show, the Barbarians featuring Moulty . The Count Five's Psychotic Reaction- When this came out we thought it was a new Yardbirds record.... The Preachers version of Who Do You Love, I heard this on the radio exactly once. The 13th Floor Elevators' You're Gonna Miss Me, a huge hit where I grew up in S. Florida. In 1972...

Recently we snickered when we learned that the organization behind that whole "C Street" house of adulterous Christian lawmakers was called "The Family." Hilarious, right? And now there's a whole new book about the organization, pictured above, left. They are so sinister! Haw, no, not really. But since it's the Big Manson Anniversary, let's look back at another great book with the...
