The Robert Pollard Writing Machine continues to find (or rather create) outlets for his songwriting prowess outside his already mass-productive band, Guided by Voices. This time around, it is the playfully monikered Lexo and the Leapers, whose six-song mini-album from Rockathon Records, Ask Them, is number two in that label's Fading Captain Series. The six songs here do not equal an insubstantial listen -- the EP finds Pollard fronting Dayton band the Tasties, whose playing is muscular, ferocious, full-bore rock. Any experimental tendencies are kept locked away. The soundscape is pop-directed but with a relentless sonic wall of guitars and feedback. The songs -- cranked out in a single day -- are unflaggingly, implausibly good, especially the carefree hook on "Time Machines" and the poignant melody and ruminative lyrics of "Plainskin." Whether Lexo and the Leapers are a full-time side project for both Pollard and the Tasties or just a whim to kill time (while putting out good pop music) is anyone's guess. ~ Stanton Swihart Lexo & The Leapers Ask Them Songs Ask Them Review

In true iconoclastic fashion, the Varukers were still scrapping away at the punk rock game in the early 21st century, a full 20 years after their 1979 formation in Birmingham, England. Their distribution had never been widespread, and was often shoddy at best. But through personnel upheavals, occasional breakups, and ...
| | Flatlanders Live At The One Knite June 8th 1972 CD (2004)
Ask Them music CDs
$12.15
If only the "more a legend than a band" that seems to surround the Flatlanders were true and the "legend" were allowed to be what it is. But people keep dragging stuff out of the woodwork, and the three companeros who made that unit up -- Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, Jimmie Dale Gilmore -- have decided that being a band is a better thing and have reunited to record and tour. Man, people can't leave well enough alone. New West has dug up this old tape from the Flatlanders' halcyon days, recorded at the dawn of the cosmic cowboy craze in Austin. What it proves first and foremost is that these guys should never have reunited (no one can blame them for wanting to get paid, but the myth was better before it became reunion flesh) and that their individual identities were formed even back then. Gilmore is the high lonesome country songwriter, Ely is the hillbilly rocker (his lead vocal on "Honky Tonk Blues" and "Settin' the Woods on Fire" would make Hank Williams smile and then hoot in delight), and while Hancock is clearly here, he doesn't sing lead on any of these tracks though he wrote a few of them. The fidelity on this thing is far from perfect, and it sounds like there are maybe 25 people in the audience tops. One way cool thing is you get to hear Steve Wesson's musical saw very well and mystic beat legend John X. Reed's killer guitar picking on Al Strehli's fine "So I'll Run." This is a back-porch singalong brought into the barroom. There are tunes by Townes Van Zandt ...
