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

That's a messed up interview question! Geez. What's wrong with ppl?!

I paused it, (not turned it off, mind you,) at the part where the interviewer was talking about how if American Pie were 'some little indie tune' everyone would be saying 'it's the best song ever.' I am not in the mood to really give a long interview a chance anyway but we'll see if I muster the courage to continue... don't wanna shit on grandavis for posting it, thread needs stuff like that, but... yeah

Hah, shit away dude, not too concerned. The interviewer is let's say "not the best", but I was able to tune him out pretty easily. Glenn is certainly a gentleman, and he just rolled with whatever and still had some cool shit to say. I don't know, I love hearing folks talk about their music/history if they are compelling, and I just think Glenn's an interesting guy. Can understand why this would be hard to get through for some, but it certainly broke up my work day.

did we already talk about this? new nathan salsburg out sept. 17

preview track is very nice, maybe more renbourn-y than anything else?

yeah i like salsburg a lot and he does feel a bit more UK

i always wonder about that, there seems to be no shortage of ppl continuing the traditions of US folk, fahey, takoma, etc, but are there guys in the UK doing the same for Jansch, Renbourne, Graham, etc?

i have this ben reynolds LP from a few years back that's in that vein - http://www.tompkinssquare.com/archives/17
good stuff, i should listen again.
this dude too - http://cjoynes.bandcamp.com - call his music "anglo-naive" which is a funny play on american primitive

salsberg and jim elkington had a great album couple years back calle Avos sooo good

yeahhhh, i like that one. need to listen to it some more.
elkington and janet bean just put out this record that seems at least in part a tribute to the davy graham/shirley collins record

podcast on SAVE KUSF featuring performances entirely from the tompkins square 'obscure giants of the acoustic guitar' trading card series... looks great, will listen tomorrow..

haha yeah....peter mentioned those cards....i think he took it as kind of an insult to be called "obscure"

Damn man, the Three Lobed and Paradise of Bachelors day parties just got announced, and damn if they both aren't essentially loaded to the gills with folks I would have personally booked for my own personal wish-list of folks I wanna see live these days. of Bac

Three Lobed = Thurston Moore/John Moloney duo, Desert Heat, Glenn Jones, Magik Markers, Tom Carter, Jenks Miller band (only act I haven't listened to here), w/ Mike Gangloff & Nathan Bowles playing between sets.

Paradise of Bachelors = Steve Gunn (full band), Spacin', Chrish Forsyth & Solar Motel Band, Pelt + Daniel Bachman, The Black Twig Pickers, Birds of Maya, Lonnie Holley, Promised Land Sound, special guests TBA

Oh, and yeah, both shows are FREE, i.e, you don't have to pay for Hopscotch at all to go. Just realized I live about 3 1/2 hours from Raleigh, can day trip it for Saturday (if I can swing it ....) Anyone gonna be at this?

ughhh, yeah, saw that. pretty much amazing lineup of artists!

Yeah, if I can't go that "ughhh" will be coming from my mind as well. Flights to Raleigh may be cheap. The shows are free at least (this will be part of the pitch to my wife).

just got an email from this fella: http://haydenpedigo.bandcamp.com/album/seven-years-late-marmara-records
sounds good, seems to be mixing in fingerstyle stuff w/ some ambient pieces...

I like this Pedigo record! Dude can play, and some of the "ambient" stuff is cool, definitely mixes it up. Maybe a bit too uniformly pretty at first listen, not much edge, but has promise for sure.

yeah i dug it! apparently he is compiling the next imaginational anthem.

Whoa, guess he's on the old radar. But yeah, he can really play. Title track in particular I dug. Plus: singing. Looks pretty damn young in the bandcamp photo, can be hard to tell though.

Jeez those parties are practically
"This Thread:The Festival"

Haha, yeah man, it's ridiculous. Don't think I can swing the Three Lobed one at all (would need to skip work), but Saturday may be a real thing. Wish I could put Tom Carter on that bill, but hell, if I make it I will not be complaining at all.

i saw PG open for high llamas a million years ago. he is great! really liked that last one, starry night.

starry mind! ;)

these shows are solo, so no full band psych jams, but he's an incredible performer. love that dude so much.

Already playing withour a pick too.

Oops, "without".

Digging that "Unteleported Man" P.G. Six song, good stuff. Will have to dig deeper, have heard tracks hear and there but never a full album.

i hope she busts out some tetuzi akiyama noodling before 5

her approach to tuning is already pretty avant garde

i am really digging this Hayden Pedigo album btw, y'all should check it out.

Wow this board is awesome! I will pass some tracks by you guys and see what you guys think.

hi hayden! welcome.

listening to your album seven years late on bandcamp right now this is great

hi hayden!

btw does anyone have an opinion on Kaki King

i was listening to her album "Glow"

it was instantly...appealing...but i dunno, feels like it's kind of a shallow thing, like a 80s guitar mag record with indie aesthetics or something

she has a good sense of melody tho and can def play really well

new thing i wrote in open C9 tuning which is a dope tuning (CGCGCD) - tweak Peter Lang talked about in our lesson from open C (CGCGCE)...anyway still has the good dronely quality of open C but feels a bit more minor and unresolved (almost like DADGAD compared to open D)....anyway trying to get better at alternating bass on the thumb so sometimes trying to write something that does that helps you learn the technique

https://soundcloud.com/matthew-lee-helgeson/open-c9-song

Aww sounding good UMS! Alternating bass makes my head hurt, having the independence with the picking fingers while keeping that thumb alternating is something I have trouble imagining doing myself right now. But yeah, you're getting there man, I like that tune (and tuning).

Really like that "Anodyne" song, listening to it again right now. Love the pacing and space of it.

nice. i dig the joseph spence song too.

yeah alternating bass is really hard IMO. it's one of those things that i think is way harder than ppl think because those kinda ragtimey guys that do it on everything make it seem so easy and breezy

even this i'm not doing a ton of syncopation, which is where is really starts to get bad.

(&thanks for the encouragement)

it's weird, i think it's just how you learn; i can play alternating bass fine but even rudimentary chord changes are rendered awkward & strained in my hands

yeah i guess also everyone's brain is kinda wired differently too probably
