Revolt of the ILX Brigade: New Post-Fahey Folk For PPL that post in the Takoma & Tompkin's Square Threads

That's why I never liked to color in my drawings growing up.

Hah, yeah! Had a similar issue with drawing myself.

Also, have listened to that song about 4 times in a row, good one to have on a loop at the end of a work day for sure.

I went in the complete opposite direction and decided to finally check out the new Iceage LP.

Just received that new Glenn Jones. The art is beautiful in person. I'm so excited for this record.

thanks for the tip on the chuck johnson twofer... ordered!
will need to get the glenn jones when i get back to ny

fuck i missed on the twofer offer somehow. oh well.

al -- it's not on the bandcamp but it's at the three lobed official website. took me a minute to find it, but it's there!

Damn, is that on a record somewhere?

Whoa, that is awesome! Those harmonics. Never really heard folks use harmonics like that in a banjo tune. Wish it was waaayyy longer.

Ian, are you "friends" with Mike Gangloff on facebook? He posts banjo/fiddle/old-time tunes and videos all the time, stuff I have never heard of, though most of it is not 78-centric. Still, might be up your alley.

I unfortunately already ordered CITB from three lobed so I think I'm SOL. :/

the version on the LP is longer --

i think you can still get deadstock copies by shooting an email to i✧✧✧@countysa✧✧✧.c✧✧. i was buying deadstock copies of them up until a year or two ago, and they probably still have some.

i'm NOT friends with gangloff on FB but i should be..

also OOPS that email address is info at countysales dotcom

al leong you can probably email them and switch to the bundle..

already done, fingaz crossed

Gangloff posts about random records relatively frequently, which may already be on your radar but certainly aren't on mine. Stuff sold by random folk/state institutions etc. I know he goes to fiddle and banjo competitions all the time to, and sees a bunch of random folks who play completely within that context.

yeah, that culture is awesome. there are a bunch of great records made by, for example Tennessee Folklore Society and The Blue Ridge Institute etc of field-recorded traditional music. I love it. Those records aren't around too much in the north east, stuff like "THE 1977 GALAX FIDDLE CONTEST COMMEMORATIVE ALBUM." that's a great world of stuff to dig into.

our own scott seward seems to have gotten a large collection of cape breton fiddle records and i want to buy tons of them from him but i can't get him to reply to my facebook pleas :(

speaking of field recorded traditional music and virgil anderson and county records -- they also put out two volumes of Music From The Cumberland Plateau, on which Anderson appears. Great collections all around and with great booklets and liner notes.

Just keep harrassing him on ILM, surely he will cave in at some point. Some people just do not do facebook, or have it together in other places but do not "interact" on facebook beyond having a profile. I mean, you have to be his prime demographic for those, though he does live close to Vermont. Maybe there is a secret following for that music in the area? (sorry, don't wanna stoke any paranoia here ....)

Pretty sure Gangloff has referenced the Tennessee Folklore Society directly a few times btw

the new glenn jones is great too! man

it's been a really great year for this kinda stuff between great new stuff and great archival releases....almost too much to consume

checking this dude out over on bandcamp: http://seanproper.bandcamp.com/

just picked up an album i don't think i've ever seen mentioned here, deseret canyon by the paper hats, which was william tyler's previous solo project.

yeahhh oh be joyful might be better than seven pines i think (though they're both in the same vein).
haven't heard the paper hats thing! need to...

if it is better than Seven Pines I def need to hear it!

that william tyler lp is incredibly good fwiw. i just happened upon it in the 'p' section.

For anyone that missed the playlist link, I have kept it updated with things mentioned itt:

Lemme know if something is missing

It is time to revel in Jack Rose for a bit. Just got the Arthur issue with the lengthy interview with Jack, which was great and just interesting as hell (what a steamroller of a dude), and then today got pointed to this remembrance by Chris Forsyth, which is also a good read:

http://soundamerican.org/jack-rose-is-real

Never heard of Sound American before, but this is apparently the "Philadelphia" issue and has bunch of other pieces about Philadelphian musicians.

One of the vids that Chris Forsyth highlights in the piece:

Great article, thanks for posting! Also, FYI, Tombeaux now up on Spotify for the vinyl-challenged

got a promo for the forthcoming danny paul grody LP on three lobed - i know i am probably comically over enthusiastic on this thread, but wow it is gorgeous. kind of like a takoma version of eno's music for airports.

I don't know, seems like solo guitar music is having a moment to me, I have not been dissapointed by much that has come up on this thread. Hoping all these folks just keep topping themselves.

yeah agreed, so much good stuff

listening to steve gunn now. like it

i think he maybe plays a nylon string guitar? sounds different to me

d. charles speer, tom carter and chuck johnson on sunday night at the mercury lounge in NYC. plan to get daydrunk at a bbq then head over.

and shawn d mcmillen too!

Man have fun, I'm jealous

I am hosting/organizing this 4th of July show with Glenn Jones in Brooklyn, sounds like there are some NYC heads on this thread and this would be of direct interest. Please come and invite friends!

i got the first chuck johnson lp in the mail today and picked up the don bikoff reish too. sweet sounds on the speakers tonight.

It's all about side 2 of the Chuck Johnson LP. So good.

our roommate is out of town for the weekend but yesterday he got a package from thrill jockey in the mail and i am 99% sure it's the glenn jones rekkerd and i want to open it but that would be wrong :(

but it would feel so right

does he not have a cell phone cmon this is important

lol i'll just have to hold out til monday night. i can do it.

Brutally under-attended Chuck Johnson show tonite in NYC.

Show was great though. So happy to see Chuck live finally.

i ended up staying at the bbq and not going to the show, though i really wanted to. i've been bad about show attendance. i will def go see Glenn though, unless i'm out of state.

Looks like there is now a Mike Gangloff solo record! All fiddle and banjo, but I could listen to this shit all day. Song available in the Dusted review below:

http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/7711

oh man, that gangloff track sounds amazing. thanks!
bummer that the chuck johnson show didn't attract too much of a crowd. i would go see all of these dudes if they came within 100 miles of me...
