Doom & Gloom From The Tomb: A Blog

Tyler - apparently GBV's "Bug House" is a sampler of a larger set called "Broadcaster House". Do you have a lead on that? I'd love to hear it all.

i don't have the whole thing. this is where I got it from way back when I think: http://www.gbvdb.com/bughouse.asp
but yeah, this single disc makes me want the whole thing ...

that whole gbv database is crazy by the way.
i get to re-live my first GBV live experience: http://www.gbvdb.com/album.asp?albumid=1133

Oh yeah, I've long loved that site. An absolutely essential bookmark for Pollard fans.

in honor of Doom & Gloom's one year anniversary -- a Neil Young covers comp! actually inspired by the ILM thread ... some fun stuff.

is it good? can you hook me up?
just put up a nice guided by voices radio session comp btw.

The Neil covers are awesome. I just made a comp of dylan covers/ripoffs kinda in the same vein as your neil one - lots of soul/r&b, garage rock and french pop versions.

yeah it was fun to hear all the interpretations! would love to hear the dylan comp ... you wanna be a doom&gloom contributor?

would be honoured! let me send you a cd-r and you can decide if you think it's worth it

following up the neil young covers ... we've got a comp of Dylan live in 2002 covering Zevon, the Stones, the Beatles, Van Morrison, and ... Don Henley.

tyler, have you checked out the ice clothes blog? some great homemade comps there.

yeah, i just discovered that blog! the VU in the Cale Era thing looks pretty amazing.

yeah, don't sleep on the bacharach/david/warwick thing too.

heyo, Brio's excellent Bob Dylan covers/pastiches comp is up now!

heyyy, it's been awhile, but I've got a great Robyn Hitchcock solo show from the mid-90s up now. lotsa stuff planned, when I get the time.

also, if you haven't checked out Brio's Dis Nous Dylan mix, do it! I think it's what I've been listening to the most in the past month or so. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/445730279/dis-nous-dylan-for-this-lovely-saturday-morning

Glad you like it - very cool to have it up on Doom & Gloom.

hey tyler I knew the real McCabe, here in Eugene! he just died a few months back. I thought about starting an RIP thread but didn't. a co-worker of mine was kind of responsible for his living space, he's married to the guy's granddaughter.

huh, no kidding! i seriously loved that place as a kid. I wished I could live there. Seems like they still are bringing in pretty cool acts: http://www.mccabes.com/condata.html
Kinky Friedman, Mia Doi Todd, Gary Lucas ...

i'm hoping my friends from back then digitize some of the other shows. we have some more hitchcock, jonathan richman, frank black ... I think Martin Carthy ...

I have a Liz Phair show somewhere on cassette... also Fahey from the 70's.

nice! would love to hear that Fahey show ... i've got a weird 80s McCabe's show with Steve Wynn, Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe and various other college rockers. Actually not all that good, but interesting.

i've got some 70s fahey too. one where he plays a very long version of "fare forward voyagers."

hey tyler, you gonna share those modern lovers boots i sent you? do it--they should be heard. will need to transcode them to mp3 i suppose.

Yes! Those Modern Lovers boots (along with some other stuff you sent me) are in the queue. They're great -- especially that Stonehenge one ...

Dis-Nous Dylan is awesome! A nice slice of how far his influence spread in pop at the time. Love that Beau Brummels track. And I think the Faces cut is my favourite Rod Stewart moment ever (which admittedly ain't saying much). Also some super-funky cuts... well done, Brio.

nice! would love to hear that Fahey show ... i've got a weird 80s McCabe's show with Steve Wynn, Natalie Merchant, Michael Stipe and various other college rockers. Actually not all that good, but interesting.

is that the one with Leaving On A Jet Plane? Haven't heard that in years, although I have fond memories of it. Do some of the REM reissue bonus tracks come from that show?

yeah, i think it's got Leaving On A Jet Plane on it. Haven't listened in ages ... don't know if any of them were officially released? Maybe?

Just put up another McCabe's Robyn Hitchcock show ... quality not quite as good as Ned's tape from last week, but still great! special show for me, since this was the first time I saw the guy play.

Very nice blog. Kudos big time!

another stroll down memory lane, this time a John Cale show, deep in the heart of Orange County ... http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

just put up one last 1994 show that I attended -- Pavement at the Palace!

up now, a Dylan show from 1995, including Patti Smith's opening set. Really, really good.

zappa/mothers of invention rarities grab-bag up now!

Thanks for the heads-up(s)!

I still need to check out that Zappa...

hey tyler if you ever read Ulysses: Stuart Gilbert's chapter-by-chapter guide is apparently somewhat controversial but I found it very helpful.

thanks for the recommendation--I plan on getting to it someday. I've read everything else, except for Finnegan's Wake. The sort of thing I regret not taking a full class on in college.

tyler man u are killing it!

the only reason i don't go to your blog sometimes is cuz i get overwhelmed! too much good shit...

grabbing the patti/dylan gonna get the zappa

that eliza randazzo is intriguiging!

hey have you heard the Catherine Howe reissue on Numero Group?? just got that and it is a gorgeous record.

thx dude!
Yeah, a friend burned that Catherine Howe record for me a while back, but I haven't given it a lot of time. I should dig it out again. randazzo record is very nice -- occasionally verges on a little too pretty sounding, but her voice/lyrics kinda cut through.
should be finally posting the early modern lovers shows amateurist was so kind to send me a while back later this week.

btw sorry i never sent u that first jayhawks record, moved this summer and am still digging out from the mess....now it's been reissued anyway!

yeah, i saw that -- figured it was the same thing you had been talking about. i've thrown the door open to contributors so if anyone has anything bootleggy they desperately want to share with the world, let me know.

yep its the same one, honestly it's a really good record IMO you should check it out

woah it occurs to me that i must've seen bob like honestly a few days either before or after this patti/bob show!

because i lived above some hippies and they were full-on mourning jerry garcia and bob did alabama getaway and dedicated it to jerry

weirdly, the jayhawks opened, bringing this all full circle

nice! i saw dylan in the spring of 1995 and I think it was the best bob show i've witnessed. i mention it in the post, but the acoustic sets are pretty astonishing. patti set is really good too.

yeah, I d/l'ed the 95 show from you, tyler, & it's great---fierce guitar playing throughout

re-uploaded that Television 1992 disc by request from nerve pylon ... http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/243843224/no-glamour-after-a-14-year-hiatus-television
it's a killer, if you didn't get it the first time.

finally posted that Modern Lover 1971 recording amateurist sent my way. all thanks to him! it is great.

following up the modern lovers show, i've upped my comp of the best of (imo) those VU professor tapes that were unearthed earlier this year.

heyyy, started posting a series of 1976 Neil Young/Crazy Horse shows. If you like Neil, you want these.
