Hah, yeah, it is. Haino tends to generate a lot of hyperbole, but it's part of the fun of liking Haino.

Bay Area heads - Turkish psych legend Erkin Koray is going to be visiting Aquarius Records this Saturday for a meet & greet/signing, in what is I believe his first ever US visit (that's what the guy at Aquarius said - at the very least his first promotional event in the US)...

Wow, really enjoying this Chris Forsyth record "Paranoid Cat":
http://soundcloud.com/chris-forsyth/sets/paranoid-cat-1/
Lots of interesting folks on it, e.g., Hans Chew, Marc Orleans, Nate Wooley, a guy from Mountains. Really hitting a lot of sweet spots for me, just a great well-rounded guitar record. Cool solos, melodic playing, some weirdo moves here and there. I tried listening to Peeessseye or whatever the spelled version of that band is, and didn't really dig it, can anyone suggest other stuff by this guy, or a good PSI record? Also, go listen to "Paranoid Cat". Family Vinyard write-up mentioned some Richard Lloyd-isms, but seems much more like a Verlaine guy to me.
― grandavis, Thursday, 12 April 2012 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
Good call Grandavis, really good shit. I had never heard of him before but will definitely be investigating further.
― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Saturday, 14 April 2012 22:12 (twelve years ago) link
The record Forsyth did with Koen Holtkamp (the aforesaid guy from Mountains) is really excellent too! You can listen to the whole thing here...

Thanks for the Chris Forsyth tipoff, that's really nice. Must check out the Blackest Rainbow thing too, Koen Holtkamp is usually ace.

Been away from a computer for a bit, thanks for the heads up NickB. Going to listen to that Holtkamp/Forsyth stuff later today.
Gonna chime in with Damo here to say that "New Pharmacist Boogie" is really cool.

Hah. To clear this up for anyone still confused, "New Pharmacist Boogie" is the second song from the Chris Forsyth album "Paranoid Cat" linked above.

um just for clarification, are you talking about the Cosmic Dead album, or is that a new band I have yet to hear of?
― when will Jesus bring the composition chops? (loves laboured breathing), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 22:35 (twelve years ago) link
I dunno, but I ponied up for the live Cosmic Dead recordings and while they're spotty in sound quality (not too, just a little) they are consistent with the monster groove.

I have been listening to the whole Chris Forsyth cannon. The guy is amazing. Has Koen Holtkamp done some good shit as well? Because the Mountains didn't do that much for me. Maybe I need to give it another try.

Trying to catch more live shows, but have only made it out to Barn Owl and Acid Mothers Temple (to be fair, these venues were a two-hour-drive away). Trying to spend more time making the stuff, too.
Cosmic Dead are pretty great, though. Get on those guys.

They took a few songs to get rolling, but really got into it about the time they started "Pink Lady Lemonade." Worth the drive out.

Their Pink Lady Lemonade album was one of my favorites from last year. I was thinking about taking a bus into Chi but I'd have to drive to Kalamazoo and my car was kinda broke down. Fixed now :\

I honestly don't even try to keep up with their studio albums any more, but I go out of my way to see 'em whenever possible. Kinda like Spiritualized, only I don't go see them...
― Matt M., Thursday, 3 May 2012 03:15 (eleven years ago) link
I just listened to their new one, Son Of A Bitches Brew. Great title, and of course a tribute to Miles' album. It is the first one I've gotten in a decade, since Univers Zen Ou De Zéro à Zéro. Such an overwhelming catalog. Someone needs to do a guide along the lines of the bloke who's curating the Circle stuff so thoroughly.

I saw Eternal Tapestry a little over a year ago in Portland and they were tremendous. I have a Plankton Wat record or two, an Edibles record and the Sun Araw collab, but need to catch up on ET itself.
They ended and Dewey (I think) leans into the mic and says, "Thanks, we're Eternal Tapestry. We don't have any records or T-shirts for sale."

― j., Tuesday, 20 November 2012 04:54 (eleven years ago) link
Man, fuck either a USPS or Thrill Jockey at this point. Still haven't gotten my package from them. The dude who has been emailing me from their order department has been super responsive, which I appreciate, but they are basically just shrugging their shoulders. Just annoying because I paid extra for the "insured" media mail, but so far it seems like that isn't covering anything.
Mostly I'm just pissed that I now have to repurchase both the Eternal Tapestry and Golden Void records, but even more that I now have to miss out on the limited edition CD-R that was supposed to come up with my order.
I'm swearing off mail order records after this fiasco and, tbrr, completely considering giving up on record collecting at all. I mean, shops are shutting down right and left so mail order direct from the labels is probably soon to be the only option. And if that isn't even dependale, than why the fuck collect?

...productively using sounds which previously would have been left to lie dormant on the cutting room floor. He began working with a palette comprised of in-the-red, bit-crushed digitalia, setting to work kneading these stubborn blocks of harsh sound into a sequence of five pieces which, despite their considerable barbs, retain the fluidity and pathos of the ambient tradition from which they were inspired...Indeed, Superstorms is at once organic and robotic, forceful and calm, coherent and unpredictable. In short, it is a meshing of oppositions- binaries smashed together and expertly sculpted into truly powerful sonic miasma.

That Superstorms shit is cool, will need to explore more but thanks for that link. The tracks I listened to were really interesting (for ambient stuff).
Just stumbled across this Mick Flower Band record on the Three Lobed page, and it is great so far! I love Mick Flower, and here it is he and Jon Moloney just rocking (sounds like a power trio at times but it is just the two of them, with Flower looping some stuff).
