I wrote a remembrance of Tom Verlaine for a feature in Aquarium Drunkard by Tyler Wilcox collecting tributes from Stephen Malkmus, the Feelies, Steve Wynn, Chris Forsyth, Dean Wareham, and many others. Find it here.

From Aquarium Drunkard... 'The Free Will and Testament of Robert Wyatt' and a Spotify Playlist of favorites and deep cuts selected by Aquarium Drunkard founder Justin Gage. Essential Sunday evening listening: Robert Wyatt is the man to help us see things more clearly. Read the accompanying article at http://bit.ly/3mpO09N and Catalonia is now under nightly curfew – 'toque de queda' – from 22:00 to 6:00 (Spotify required).
And now the ultimate and final change to my revamping and revitalization of the old music project! Maison Dufrene is now a podcast easily accessible through Spotify! Hours and hours of fresh, old gospel, county, pop, folk and soul songs available in over 200, 25 minutes mixes compiled over that last eight years. Replenished daily with archival tracks and updated twice a week with new arrivals. Follow the podcast and take a journey through the past you never knew existed! ::: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Djss06Spq7i7KON1yOGGA #spotify #podcast #musicpodcast #spotifypodcast #mix #playlist #folkmusic #soulmusic #soul #r&b #gospel #gospelmusic #coversongs #maisondufrene #aquariumdrunkard (at Lake Charles, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JfZDIJ92q/?igshid=1y17hhl2ylp0g
Having contributed both visuals and words to @aquariumdrunkard since 2011/12 it is exciting to share a new era with a brand new website and a #patreon that will include physical records, printed ephemera and other great pieces that will bring #aquariumdrunkard from just a website into the physical world. It is an insanely exciting time and while the website will remain free I encourage you to contribute! Also @jasonpwoodbury kicks off the new site with a great interview with @jeff_tweedy bringing it full circle! https://www.instagram.com/p/BqqC_DQFd53/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bvxugku8gily
Vashti Bunyan’s songs were too imaginative and powerful to be lost to the sands of time. Though her 1970 album Just Another Diamond Day was barely heard on original release, it became a freak folk foundational document. Recently, Bunyan published her first book, Wayward: Just Another Life. She joined us to discuss the book, that journey, and what it felt like to have her work rediscovered—and why she hates being called a “folk” singer.
