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

also, the VDSQ are so boring-looking. if i'm gonna pay $27 for a LP at least it could look nice :(

i do have the bishop one

can't imagine wanting to hear thurston moore acoustic

The Chris Brokaw vdsq one is amazing

do people rate the last steve gunn record? i can't knock it, but his more singer-songwriter-y stuff feels kind of anonymous compared to his more guitar-y stuff.

Funny cause I was trying to figure out why, in my head, he is distinct from other indie-alt-country acts even at his most "anonymous" sounding. There's something very breezy and un-gimmicky that's maintained in his work I guess.

i think that's fair, maybe it just hasn't "got" me yet.

gunn feels way more grateful dead than alt country to me

totally

yeah, and he's this totally distinctive and interesting (to me at least) guitar player, which is where a lot of alt-country falls flat to me. instrumentally, it's usually kinda boring. with gunn you 've got the dead, you've got jj cale, maybe some jansch/renbourn action + all of his dronier/experimental background.

everyone should remember to tune in to Three Lobed's Hopscotch show! it's going to start streaming in 10 hours now, at 11:45AM eastern standard time.

listen online at http://www.wxdu.org/ or download the free Tune In app for your phone and 'follow' WXDU station to listen in. gonna be a fucking great show, for sure.

11:45am - 12:15pm - Daniel Bachman / Nathan Bowles duo (Debut performance! Only show of the festival!)
12:30 - 1:00 - Jenks Miller & Rose Cross NC (Only show of the festival!)
1:20 - 2:20 - Little Black Egg big band (Debut performance! Only show of the festival! Band consists of Steve Gunn, Georgia Hubley, Ira Kaplan, James McNew, Letha Rodman Melchoir, and William Tyler.)
2:45 - 3:15 - Sunburned Hand of the Man (Only show of the festival!)
3:30 - 4:00 - MV & EE (Different set from their Thursday night festival set!)
4:20 - 5:00 - Mary Lattimore / Thurston Moore duo (Debut performance! Only show of the festival!)
- live music between all sets from Mike Gangloff and Nathan Bowles (both of Pelt, Black Twig Pickers and solo fame)

Ha, I just came to post about this show as I am a WXDU DJ and there it is already. I'll be there with my two kids, hope all you guys and gals across the nation can tune in! For those that don't recognize the name, Jenks is the main man behind Horseback and also plays in Mount Moriah. This set promises to be some sort of full band psyche style.

cool, hopefully there'll be a recording/archive of the show. won't get to listen too closely at work, and the one earbud treatment i'd have to give it wouldn't be ideal anyway

yeah, don't know if nyc taper is doing it this year -- listened to his hopscotch/3lobed recordings from last year a ton.

global did good

http://first-listen.com/steve-palmer/

oh my god, i cannot say how happy i am that steve has a sample of KFAN FM 100.3 absurdist radio legend Dan "The Common Man" Cole on this record #ialto

AH I'm missing the WXDU thing how do I tune in? The pop up player on the side is clearly not playing Bachman and Bowles..

Heeelllpppp

Ha, thought it was called pop up player- I just mean in the corner where it says "listen online"

Oh OK... it's late

starting now...

I'm recording it.

heh, about a minute in and I already want a bachman/bowles duo record. BachBowl.

ManBowl currently throwing down the takoma/krautrock gauntlet

ah ok, not actually a duo -- they've got another guy up there

i wasn't sure exactly how they were doing some of that as a duo.

dammit, i brainfarted on the time zone differences and am missing it. thanks for recording it, evan! bowles/bachman i'm especially excited about.

No problem! So far only a few hiccups in the stream.

I'd really love to see video of the next performance rather than just audio.

whatever is going on right now on wxdu is pretty jammin

ha, it's just a recording of bardo pond at the moment, but yeah it is amazing.

that's one of those bands i always meant to check out

wonder if mike gangloff couldn't make it? wxdu site says: live music between all sets from Mike Gangloff and Nathan Bowles (both of Pelt, Black Twig Pickers and solo fame)
but they've just been playing three lobed stuff...

and yeah, i've just kinda gotten around to bardo pond, but they are pretty happening -- i mean, they have a certain thing they do, but they do it pretty goddamn well.

really, it's just become apparent to me in the last 2-3 years that three lobed is in fact The Best Label - http://threelobed.bandcamp.com/

Yuck I'm getting a ton of lag now. It's going to be a pretty choppy audio file. :(

nyc taper (at least one of them) is doing sound, so hopefully, there'll be plenty of high quality recordings...

Is this still Bachman studio material?

Awesome! I wasn't rushing to share my recording since it was pretty ravaged by lag in the stream particularly during the Little Black Egg set. My fiancee's recording had the same problem back at home (I was at work).

Global's album release show tomorrow night!

sweet, excited to revisit that black egg set. good luck, global -- are you playing too, m@tt?
he might be shy about plugging it here, but i'll do it -- grandavis is playing with steve gunn + mary lattimore/jeff ziegler next month: http://holdmyticket.com/event/181589
just got the promo of that lattimore/ziegler album -- really nice stuff, people here would probably dig it...

Interested in listening to that set again. I was a little disappointed during it, as the assembled firepower onstage was pretty astounding. The last thing I thought they were gonna do was a straight drone/improv piece with no drums and 4 guitarists all mostly not playing much guitar (though it was fully appropriate in the context of the show of course). There may be a lot more detail there than I could hear in the room though. It was pretty, and sounded perfectly cool, but I was hoping to maybe hear some guitar interplay amongst Gunn/Tyler/Kaplan and that was not the direction they went in for the most part. Again, I may have missed some of what was happening, that was by far the most well-attended set (room was packed), and people were coming and going the entire time as they walked in to see what Yo La was up to, heard a big roar (no songs) and decided not to stick around, which was pretty distracting.

Very cool about Global's album release! Haven't been able to check much out yet, was offline most of the last week and a half and need to catch up on a bunch of stuff.

Excited about that Gunn/Mary Lattimore & Jeff Zeigler show for sure, still haven't seen Gunn in a good setting and dig that Lattimore/Zeigler stuff, definitely up my alley.

"It was pretty, and sounded perfectly cool, but I was hoping to maybe hear some guitar interplay amongst Gunn/Tyler/Kaplan and that was not the direction they went in for the most part."

Yeah, it was underwhelming for that reason for sure. When what three people have in common is being known for amazing guitar playing, and are put on stage together, resulting ambiguous/anonymous drone is a huge let down.

Just in that context, though.

Yeah context is key here. I am a fan of drone/improv/noise (and veer this way in my own playing often enough) but considering all of the directions this crew could have taken this one was a little lower on my list. Still cool they did it, and nice that they are helping Letha out with the download.

According to Nathan Bowles, Steve Gunn's touring band right now has a second guitarist along w/ Nathan on drums and a bass player I believe, so probably some nice cutting loose at those shows if anyone gets a chance to see them. Not sure who the second guitarist is though.

I really like some of Dylan Carlson's solo guitar music <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/oagF0ZPhXkA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

haha sorry didnt embed... http://youtu.be/oagF0ZPhXkA

I dig some of that D. Carlson solo stuff for sure. I am a fan of telecaster worship.

Also wanna say that I will be there in spirit for the big Global record release show with UMS tonight! Sure wish I could be there in person but hope it is great on all fronts. Try to get someone to record it!

yeah i want the bootleg for sure

me three!
