think i'm going to go see the Howling Hex again tonight in Denver! Who's with me! Sadly I missed the Gira show last month. Apparently Gira got reallllllllly mad at a chatty audience.

rad interview

haha! i actually kinda know the guy who did it. he's a good guy, i'm sure, you know, circumstances.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 20:21 (11 months ago) Permalink
i was totally sincere! though i think the build up maybe makes the interview into something of a deadpan punchline.
i'm psyched you're catching this show anyway. these are still the group i wanna catch somehow sometime, i don't really know how. report back.
― blossom smulch (schlump), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 20:31 (11 months ago) Permalink
yeah will do. totally psyched he's in Denver for the foreseeable future.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 20:33 (11 months ago) Permalink
currently uploading a terrible video i took at last night's show! well, the sound is OK, but the venue was incredibly dark. will post! great show!
― tylerw, Friday, 8 June 2012 15:30 (11 months ago) Permalink
what was the format? how many folks in the band?
― Stormy Davis, Friday, 8 June 2012 16:14 (11 months ago) Permalink
same band as a few months ago, just a bassist/drummer.
― tylerw, Friday, 8 June 2012 16:16 (11 months ago) Permalink
man. I was actually toying with the idea of coming out there in a couple of weeks to catch the Hag on Thursday and then Wilco on Fri/Sat at Red Rocks. probably not gonna happen tho
― Stormy Davis, Friday, 8 June 2012 16:29 (11 months ago) Permalink
DO IT. I'm definitely going to at least one more of these. behold my superior videographer skills. the sound is OK anyway.
― tylerw, Friday, 8 June 2012 16:30 (11 months ago) Permalink
thanks tyler! i actually skipped through mid-solo because fuzz & youtube don't totally fit, but it sounds great. the set-up suits NMH pretty well, i think. i'd love to have seen the theater-fire lineup, but there's something neat about the minimal, repetitive thing they have going.
― blossom smulch (schlump), Friday, 8 June 2012 18:09 (11 months ago) Permalink
totally going back tonight! woooo.
― tylerw, Thursday, 28 June 2012 18:29 (10 months ago) Permalink
wooo. this rocked! pretty much the same deal as before, tho he actually played some shorter, punchier numbers. highlight is the epic march he closed out both shows with. forgot to take the camera.
― tylerw, Friday, 29 June 2012 17:06 (10 months ago) Permalink
only just remembered to check in w/this. sounds good. what'd you mean march? can't figure out if you mean an arkestral troop outta the venue or a shuffly norteno number.

guy's blog is both amusing & coherent right now. weird rountable w/commenters going on about romance.

new album in feb. called "the best of the howling hex" but is indeed new material -- seems to be the stuff he was playing this year in Denver. sounds amazing.

hope it's better than wilson semis FWIW

awesome awesome awesome& great title. it was kinda longer, dirgier jams, right?
― absurdly pro-D (schlump), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 22:53 (5 months ago) Permalink
aww. i don't have my copy of WS with me so i can't spin it, but i have affection for it.
i really like wilson semis, but i think this one is better. last track is 24 minutes! so yeah longer, dirgier.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 22:55 (5 months ago) Permalink
i really loved earth junk, but WS kind of was just a blah retread imo
― 69, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 22:56 (5 months ago) Permalink
this is p cool, incidentally:http://www.howlinghex.com/diary/1625/rehearsals-are-ongoing
whoa, tyler you have charmed NMH & gained access to his stack of tapes. i think i speak on behalf of everyone outside of your state when i ask if you can quietly post this to your blog.
― absurdly pro-D (schlump), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 22:56 (5 months ago) Permalink
ha, i just posted that & was like don't antagonise 69 about hating on wilson semiconductors again, let it lie. it's cool. some of earth junk i still love, other parts of it just aren't super enjoyable listening for me, including some of the best stuff on there. it reminds me of murder mystery by the velvets a little, like that. all this makes me wanna listen to WS, though, so. btw 69 i am for real missin your radio show, i hope you are on air again sometime.

ha, okay. keep working toward that anyway. you're into it? i thought it was interesting the thing neil said about not really caring about records so just sending stuff to DC & letting them decide what to do with it.

first jam on the record for those not sitting around in smoking jackets supping cognac & talking pedals with NMH every week:

awww u can antagonise me anytime. and thanks for the nice words about the show -- too busy with work stuff this week to do it today, and there's definitely been a lag in putting the links up on the archive page. did you see the link to the show ian and i did the other week when i was in NY? it was really fun!
― 69, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 23:07 (5 months ago) Permalink
aw no! i didn't, i am missing stuff, i'll go check it out. you guys are a dream team. the last thing i heard was you co-presenting with my buddy BN, i had no idea you guys knew one another, it was so lovely. on another note, i bumped this thread in yr direction a while ago: THE PIANO CHOIR
will keep lookin out anyway.
this new hex jam is good. not a zillion miles away from the last record.
― absurdly pro-D (schlump), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 23:12 (5 months ago) Permalink
should be noted that the final track is about 10 minutes long (with an unlisted bonus track tagged on there).
― tylerw, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 23:19 (5 months ago) Permalink
how is this? it's kinda expensive at the store & i can't jump right in right now.
