Like those covers a lot, and not familiar with Emory at all. "good guitar ..."

those look intriguing

rare Peter Lang show this Saturday in Minneapolis at a local brewery for the NE Mpls Art-A-Whirl fest....global hipped me to it! very exciting!

where to grab these albums?

the streams from wfmu sound really promising, would love to hear the rest of these

Hallock Hill who was mentioned upthread a bit did a live set for WFMU last week - on the Airborne Event show. He had Tim Noble from the Lowland Hundred along with him. Really nice set - if anything slightly more dissonant than his usual stuff: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/55533

I've been listening to the Mike Cooper reissues a fair bit (perfect timing for the Steve Gunn collab) - really excellent records. Largely folk rock forms but with some more 'out' elements. Great studio line up, too, featuring Alan Skidmore, Stefan Grossman and 'The Heron' among others.

yeah, those mike cooper reissues are something else! never heard of him before, but they are really interesting and enjoyable. gunn collab is pretty happening too, fairly loose, but I think that's the idea.

nice video preview of the forthcoming daniel bachman album:
http://vimeo.com/92197907

really digging the michael rother cover off the william tyler EP, obviously nails the kraut country thing.

yeah was just cranking that one. so good!

Yeah I like hearing W. Tyler in a band context, and a great sound for a band. Seems like the kraut-country thing is gaining traction, I have even seen the term pop up in a review or two I think. Fully into it.

I forgot to look for that William Tyler last time I was at the shop...

yesterday I was outside talking to this nice couple who lives across the street and they started talking out of nowhere abt seeing this great William Tyler show the night before and we all bonded immediately. Turns out they're acquaintances of his or something.

Lucky! All my neighbors probably only want to talk about reality television.

rare Peter Lang gig for free during the annual Art-A-Whirl fest in Northeast Mpls this weekend!

(thx to global for the heads up)

Gonna be good. I double booked myself that afternoon, but am gonna get to the first half at least. I'm hoping to get a couple videos up on Youtube too...

Good times! Pretty much a perfect day for this sort of thing.It was nice to see a pretty substantial and appreciative crowd in attendance. (would you agree, Magma?? a good amount of people there seemed to either be there to listen to him or were very much into it). Had to leave early, but got a couple good videos:

Snaker Ray Has Come and Gone (newer one off the 'Guitar' album), really liked this one:

Lost on Chainbridge Road:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7kceLHH-Rc

When Kings Come Home (i think he had some tuning problems going on during this one but it was still pretty gorgeous. I don't know if a taproom in the afternoon is a perfect setting for a song like this, a lot of chatty people wandering around.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOGygrNjBa4

and any reason to post this video, because it's fucking awesome- Lang on Mpls public television in the 70s:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEjsWzynu3M

Yeah def I was happy that the crowd was pretty responsive. Peter played very well, overall was a perfect early afternoon vibe. Hope he plays out more, but definitely glad e had the chance, and for free

BTW I think it was after you left he revealed that his bottleneck slide was given to him by Duane Allman

That's great. That sounds like a story he'd share during a lesson, always these cameos by various 60s/70s folk. What else did he play? I remember he told me once that he liked to end sets with a medley of St. Charles' Shuffle and As I Lay Sleeping because they were 'fun and easy.' Would have loved to see that.

uhh i'm so bad w/names of intrumental songs...after that slide anecdote he did one off the first album that's slide intensive...i can hear it but i can't think of the name

uhhhhh maybe Wide Oval Ripoff? I hope he plays out more this summer now that there's a lot of festivals and stuff

yep! just looked it up and that's the one

listening to Guitar by Peter Lang today on Spotify...really great record, horrific 90s local bin CD art and all

yeah listened to that one last night.

i remember listening to dharma blues a lot back when i went on a itunes binge in 06/07. not sure how that measures up to his recent stuff but i remember digging it, and the plaintive cover too

these william tyler podcast things are very enjoyable - https://soundcloud.com/williamtylermusic/untitledmay-2

Yeah man, just checked that one last Friday. William is an incredibly likeable dude on top of being a great player. I want to play his place in Nashville some day, seems like an artist friendly joint.

Was just coming here to remind/notify any folks that live near NYC that a pretty amazing show is coming up. The VDSQ showcase is happening on Saturday, June 7 at Issue Project Room. Bill Orcutt, Glenn Jones, Matthew Mullan, Anthony Pasquarosa & Mark McGuire (whom I have never been able to get into at all but will maybe play acoustic and be more up my ally, not that I am going mind you):

http://www.timeout.com/newyork/music/vdsq-showcase

I really don't wish I lived in New York any more for the most part, but I sure wish I lived there for shit like this.

damn that looks tight

ha, yeah, that looks awesome. the orcutt VDSQ LP is totally gripping - definitely the kind of thing that makes you sit up and pay attention.

Yeah I was planning to go to that actually!

Was also going to check out Glenn Jones tomorrow as well (he is playing at a hotel in Manhattan) but it's my dad's birthday so can't make it both places.

Can anyone school me on this guy and his movie doc? This is happening in D.C. this week at the Library of Congress

Michael Ford.

Homeplace Mississippi: a Cultural Journey, presented by Documentarian Michael Ford, Yellow Cat Productions, Washington, DC

During the early 1970s, filmmaker Michael Ford lived in and documented traditional music, farming practices, blacksmithing, molasses-making, and other aspects of community life in La Fayette, Marshall, Tate, and Panola Counties, Mississippi. Portions of his material were published in his documentary film Homeplace (1975). Recently, Ford's important collection of films and photographs documenting grassroots community life in northern Mississippi was acquired by the American Folklife Center archive. To celebrate this recent acquisition and to discuss his experiences in the 1970s as well as talk about his on-going work documenting life and culture in contemporary Mississippi, Mr. Ford joins American Folklife Center archivist Todd Harvey for a program highlighting his work.

Well, Glenn solo will be back, but Glenn with a crazy line-up like that will not. Go to the VDSQ showcase, especially for those of us that cannot go!

I gotta get that Orcutt at some point, though I am not going to buy records for a little bit. Hopefully a copy will be available at some point.

Sorry curmudgeon, no info here, but that still looks cool. I would consider going to that if I lived in D.C.

The Pink Room: 100 Hours Volume 1
