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

Finally got to listen to that DeGennaro song, really pretty stuff.

Hah nice, soundcloud went right to Herman Dune & Cerberus Shoal. Dig that record.

together? don't know that one but I love the 3 of 4 Cerberus Shoal records I have

Not sure they play together on many songs, but it was a split record: http://www.discogs.com/Cerberus-Shoal-Herman-D%C3%BCne-The-Whys-And-Hows-Of-Herman-Dune-And-Cerberus-Shoal/release/1322713

The John Fahey Movie/Documentary is on the BBC website for streaming:

You need to tinker around with VPN/Proxy, if you sit outside of the UK. (Browserplugin like Hola or ZenMate should work). Good Luck (maybe it works for the US anyway)

Awesome thank you! Didn't know about Hola works great

Was Nick Schillace ever mentioned here?
I love his stuff.

He has 2 Solo Guitar records out:

He's now more active in the Folk duo Lac LaBelle.
I had the opportunity to see/meet him this year on a gig in Chicago.
It was fun to see them play.

Nick Schillace also wrote his Master Thesis about Fahey.
It was a pretty enlightening read for me.

cheeers!

Yep I think he's come up... He's great

The Fahey Docu is now also on youtube for easier access:

hi y'all, i don't post a lot in this thread but i just wanted to give respect and thanks for everyone that does. so much great stuff in here. i've long been a big fan of metzger, rose, basho-junghans, bishop, valentine, fahey, et al. and various other raga blues and this thread is very generous. thanks! maybe i'll try to post more.

zowie i need to watch that fahey doc...
currently being reminded that this is gorgeous, still haven't gotten the whole LP.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYn7WpgLg48&feature=youtu.be

Damn! The doc was taken down.

Yeah, was all set to watch it last night only to find it down as well. Bummer.

I bought it. $17 on Amazon

some new (to me) names on the new Imaginational Anthem comp, not familiar with these guys but like all the songs:

Richard Crandell (love this one)
Matt Baldwin
George Stavis
R. Keenan Lawler

R. Keenan Lawler is cool. I remember listening to tracks on his Myspace page!

Whoa, that Blackshaw song is gorgeous, don't know how I missed that album.

Yeah that Blackshaw/Melnyk song is cool. Good mix of playing styles and just a lush lush sound.

yeah it actually seems pretty far afield from a lot of the stuff in this thread -- not a trace of "americana" to be found in there (though maybe that was always true of Blackshaw for the most part). More of a modern chamber music kinda deal. But yeah, so beautiful.

I SO need to hear that, I love Glass Bead Game

I am biased, but the guitar/piano duo is a good sound when put in the right hands. I wonder if the whole record mines the sound of that track or if it covers other territory (not that I wouldn't listen to a good hour or more of that sound, it's the kind of thing I can really settle into).

Also, big thanks Tyler for providing my first listen to that Black Dirt Oak record, I really like the song included in that write-up. Guess the record will be all over the place, but that song seems pretty much just to be Nathan and someone doing minimal accompaniment on some stringed instrument or another (or I guess percussion, though really dinky and somewhat tonal percussion?)

http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2013/12/10/black-dirt-oak-wayawanda-patent/

I envy your promo list, but not your difficult task of providing a year's end best-of for this particular year! Definitely look forward to seeing your list though.

yeah the Black Dirt Oak thing is a cool record -- i wouldn't say it's essential or anything, but there's definitely a lot to enjoy. that track posted might be the most straightforward thing, it gets pretty spacey / weird in other places.
kinda working on the year-end stuff now. slowly.

listening to this this morning: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Black_Twig_Pickers_and_Steve_Gunn/NATCH_1/
totally great, kind of amazing they just put it up for free.

Yeah, I sent that Gunn/Black Twigs session to everyone I knew at some point. The last track ("Salted Caramel") is a doozy in regards to slowly unfolding acoustic psych. Was what I hoped the Bachman/Pelt collaboration at Hopscotch would be similar to, but it just didn't materialize. A little too heavy on the harmoniums, not enough guitar.

Not unsurprising to a degree, but a bunch of stuff discussed in this list is ending up on year-end best-ofs all over the place. The Aquarium Drunkard list of course contains quite a few likely candidates, but a whole lot of other great stuff too (very glad to see Polvo and Magik Markers show up to name a couple). Good job, and dig the format (no rankings thanfully):

hey y'all, really digging the Spotify playlist, A+ work there.

just got the new Daniel Bachman LP & 7" in the mail, will probably listen tonight.

Really enjoy the latest Bachman, I think it definitely shows some added range and new moods.

The record that has stuck in my head the most this year seems to be Glenn Jones, but I wouldn't want to really have to choose from a good handful. I just find his songs popping into my head unbidden all the time. In particular this one:

I also just love this banjo tune "Cat Mountain" by Mike Gangloff. He plays a lot of traditionals solo, but this is an original:

http://blackestrainbowrecords.bandcamp.com/track/cat-mountain

Anyone here heard the Gunn/Gangloff LP? I want to pick it up, but haven't gotten out to a record shop in a few weeks.

i haven't heard it yet, except for the soundcloud thing, but that was great....
is that gangloff LP available to buy just for download anywhere? I've been spending too much $$$ lately, and wouldn't mind a slightly cheaper option. it sounds amazing. fuck it maybe i'll just buy the LP. it's just money.

I have not heard the Gunn/Gangloff record, but look forward to it very much.

Tyler, I am surprised that Blackest Rainbow or Klang Industries don't have the option, seems like it is CD or LP only for now. You can listen to it whenver via the Blackest Rainbow bandcamp for now though. I think you have done your part spreading the word for these folks not to get too hung up on it. LP seems to be $20 from Klang (Gangloff's label/website) and CD is $15.

Ian, I have a feeling you may know something about this, but I heard a song from Linda Cohen (whom I had never heard of) from her album "Leda" on a WFMU show, and it was really cool. From 1971 or something, some really nice acoustic (classical at times) playing, but also some oscillators/synths/electrics thrown in. Cool shit. Here is a pretty straight track:

Here is one with a little bit extra:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFLIqS84Vlk

Aww hell another one. Really like this:

Evandro Dresch aka E. Dresch is a guitar player from Germany.

There are some fillers on this collection, linked above. But there a definitely some really good moments.

Digged out the Ryley Walker tape "The Evidence Of Things Unseen"
He left this path for the British Folkies...

hey tyler, webmail me through ilx

nothing nefarious btw

^deep cover RIAA mole for the Feelies, run Tyler!

Hah!

lol no, I just got a spare download voucher for the Gangloff record tyler was asking about.

oh hey just saw this -- thanks, but i ordered the album!

& if there's one band I know for a fact is ok w/ the bootlegs it's the feelies

hey that new Danial Bachman single that I got as a freebie with my LP is also really nice, in case anybody was wondering - pressing is a bit dodgy but that might be cuz both sides are around 6 minutes at 45 rpm.

"Daniel"

oh hey just saw this -- thanks, but i ordered the album!

it is a beautiful piece of vinyl imo so i think you did the right thing!

The cover for that Gangloff record is really cool as well, bet it looks great in person.

it is lovely - blackest rainbow do some really great sleeves

It is the same artist that did the Pelt "Effigy" cover, Mike probably pulled him in for this as well. Think Jake Blanchard is his name, but it is cool stuff.

Like that Evandro Dresch tune posted above. Especially dig the central "riff" it keeps returning to.
