what a good move! This new album might not be a 'straight to the bin' affair after all.

I'm seeing Borbetomagus play in Boston in two weeks, in fact! The same cannot be said for Ms. Twain, but you know, anything's possible.

diamanda is not midway between any two points, i don't think. conventional rules of euclidean geometry need not apply

j/k, obv. nowadays everything seems to fit into an odd future realm
(borbetomagus was probably the most overwhelming thing i ever saw live)
― rusty_allen, Friday, 27 May 2011 18:04 (thirteen years ago) link
wow, I haven't seen borbetomagus live in like 20 years
I should go to that boston show but I won't
― bandcamper van beethoven (Edward III), Friday, 27 May 2011 18:10 (thirteen years ago) link
they're playing Boston and Northampton, and then Montreal for Suoni. no other dates booked, as far as i know.
― geeta, Friday, 27 May 2011 18:20 (thirteen years ago) link
they'd prolly get a decent crowd in providence, I should try to make that happen
― bandcamper van beethoven (Edward III), Friday, 27 May 2011 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
dude, just come to boston. or we can all go to northampton. my guess is that the audience in northampton will be me, you, byron coley, thurston moore, and the 30 dudes from sunburned hand of the man (they're opening)

who's coming to the show on sunday with me?
― geeta, Wednesday, 8 June 2011 19:03 (thirteen years ago) link
borbetomagus, i mean, not shania twain
"or we can all go to northampton. my guess is that the audience in northampton will be me, you, byron coley, thurston moore, and the 30 dudes from sunburned hand of the man (they're opening)"
and me.

i'd totally hit the northampton show tomorrow, but my favorite art teacher from college is in town, and i want to spend some time with her. she teaches in cologne now so i don't get to see her much.
i'm all about the show on sunday, though.
scott, where exactly are you based these days? we gotta hang out!

i am in beautiful greenfield. you should come to my record store sometime. take a daytrip to wonderful western mass.

i will totally take a day trip to western mass sometime! your record store looks awesome.
is the kid playing a harmonica in that photo? punk rock! he should totally jam with my 11-year-old nephew. my li'l nephew is super cool. he owns four guitars and he can really shred--he studies guitar solos by watching youtube videos on repeat, and he can play 'enter sandman' at double-speed and stuff. his favorite bands are metallica, megadeth, and slayer.

that's my oldest, rufus, in that picture. and my other one, cyrus, is the one hanging with the records.

nice! they are adorable. i bet they'll love borbetomagus!
― geeta, Thursday, 9 June 2011 16:15 (thirteen years ago) link
i'm already having second thoughts about going tonight. i'm such a wimp. it's just that they start so late there and end so late. by the time borbetomagus go on i could be toast. i get up very early in the morning...
i might save up my energy for friday night and the opportunity to see ilx's own tarfumes the escape goat rock out.

so gutted i missed the show with rangda before xmas, snowed in with work and actual snow
― straightola, Monday, 13 June 2011 11:32 (twelve years ago) link
yeah--imagine three guys who look like they could be your dad, dishing out some of the most spectacular noise you can imagine. there were something like 15 effects pedals on stage...the two saxophones are run through all kinds of effects, like what'd happen if you ran all your jazz records through a juicer under extreme amplification

Anyone caught the Borbetomagus doco A Pollock of Sound?
"Filmmaker Jef Mertens brings a raw, urgent, and unpolished vision focusing on a band that has spent almost four decades defining and redefining the boundaries of music.Pioneers of improvised noise music, Borbetomagus are known for the aggressive, double saxophone attack of Don Dietrich and Jim Sauter and the guitar noise of Donald Miller.
The band members tell their story with the help of artists, writers, photographers, and filmmakers that include noted critic Byron Coley, drummer Chris Corsano, guitarist Thurston Moore, Hijokaidan and others.
Includes archival footage and previously unreleased recordings."
