TPATS

The Perm & The Skullet is a non-profit music blog devoted to bringing you music of all kinds.

Although we prefer that rustic, acoustic, unusual, whiskey soaked sound, we do like music of all styles and genres. If you have something you think we should listen to, by all mean, let us know.

All Links and MP3s are for sampling, evaluation, and introduction purposes only and are intended to provide exposure to said artist / film / site etc... If you like it, please go buy it.

Online, we recommend Insound, emusic or directly from the artist or their label. Locally, we recommend Schoolkids Records or Bull City Records.

Most Mp3 samples are only available for a limited time, usually a week or two. If there is something you missed, and it is currently unavailable or out of print, please let us know and we can see what we can do.

MP3s, Links, and Images can easily be taken down, so if you are the owner or their representation, and would like said link or file removed, just let us know and we'€™ll be happy to do so. You can E-mail me directly here for any questions or concerns or submissions.

On the Turntable

Quote by:
Will Oldham

“As soon as it becomes your profession to critique a book, or movie, or record then, not only do you lose your passion for it, but it loses validity for whoever you’re trying to turn it onto because they’re going to be approaching it from a consumer’s point of view, not from a professional writer’s point of view.”

Submissions

You can mail any materials to me electronically here or hard copy at:

I promise to listen to everything, but due to the large amount of material I receive, I can not guarantee review. Thanks!

Real Live Tigers

I was searching Erin Day's myspace site and saw that she is finally making her way East side and one of her stops happens to be Fountain, NC on June 11th. Well I have never heard of Fountain, but there it is, just East of Wilson. Anyway she's playing the R.A. Fountain General Store with Real Live Tigers and Dustin the Furniture. I decided to check these other guys out since their playing with Erin and by now my enjoyment of her music has grown into an infatuation.

Real Live Tigers is, has been, and will always be Tony Presley. His songs are "often about wonder, about dreams, secrets, and moments." Lately they are sparse and quiet with only a nylon-string guitar and his voice. Staying busy through 2005, playing over 140 shows and releasing two albums, one proper and one of demos, Sadness is a Gentleman and There is a Storm that Sleeps Inside Us (demos), this Austin based troubadour has just released the Hospital Songs EP and will be touring the US this Spring and Europe this Summer.

If you are into minimal folk, old country, and/or the work of guitar legends such as Robert Johnson and Django Reinhart, then I would definitely recommend checking out Real Live Tigers. I'm hoping to get a copy of his latest release for a full review, but until then, enjoy a few tracks from his website from various releases.

.: No Regrets (from Hospital Songs EP )

.: Already Scarecrows (from There is a Storm that Sleeps Inside Us demos)
.: Sober as a Songbird (from There is a Storm that Sleeps Inside Us demos)
.: Two Goldfish (from There is a Storm that Sleeps Inside Us demos)

.: Weight in Nails (from Sadness is a Gentleman)
.: She Was a Friend of Mine (from Sadness is a Gentleman)
