another vote for that Gimmer Nicholson album, the guitar has a near clavier quality... so crystalline and yet so warm.http://www.npr.org/2016/02/04/465128476/songs-we-love-gimmer-nicholson-hermetic-waltz

That link above is a great read. But I was reading through going "say what guitars they used. say what guitars they used..." and then the very last thing on the site is like "sadly, we can't remember what guitars were used..." HA.

Also, interesting to read Terry's tale of what a friend refers to as 'demo-itis,' as in, the artist getting accustomed to demos and rough mixes and then being unable to match those sounds on final mixes. I've heard of certain producers forbidding artists from leaving the studio with rough mixes, and I guess this is one of the reasons why.
(I also like how Terry dodged the THC question).
― Jimmywine Dyspeptic, Thursday, 4 February 2016 16:01 (eight years ago) link
Yeah man, that overview was fascination. "Demo-it is" is very real. Really too bad that he was thinking about recording again but didn't get there. May not have lived up to this one great record, but still, would have been cool to see.
― grandavis, Thursday, 4 February 2016 16:04 (eight years ago) link
Uhh, "was fascinating".
"Charon's Crossing" is out there bruh
― ulysses, Thursday, 4 February 2016 16:06 (eight years ago) link
yeah the gimmer thing is pretty amazing. been putting it on repeat at work, making me a better person, i think. was under the impression that Manning's CD of it in the 1990s was the first release, but it seems like it came out in a very small way on Sid Selvidge's Peabody label in the late 70s or early 80s? Not even listed on discogs, but it apparently was sold on ebay a while back. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/LARRY-Gimmer-NICHOLSON-Christopher-Idylls-LP-PEABODY-Outsider-Folk-PSYCH-Memphis/221406635941There's also this late 80s video of Gimmer, which is nothing like Christopher Idylls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aELLQv7oHlY

'Hermetic Waltz' is like being hit over the head and having all rainbows fly out everywhere. I wish Light in the Attic stuff wasn't such a pain in the arse to get hold of in the UK.

oooh Donald Miller!

I imagine that record will kill most everything on this thread from 20 paces away

Sarah Louise's album is gonna be great
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 8 February 2016 16:52 (eight years ago) link
This is a good list. What will the Donald Miller stuff be like I wonder? Pretty much only know his Borbetomagus power moves.
― grandavis, Monday, 8 February 2016 16:55 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, if anyone hasn't heard Sarah Louise - A Field Guide it's great
Global I remember her saying some of the stuff she played at your house show was from the VDSQ
― I'm currently in an online essential oil class! (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 8 February 2016 17:02 (eight years ago) link
yeah that's why i'm stoked on it. she's got a great style
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 8 February 2016 17:57 (eight years ago) link
Ha, the Sarah Louise on Apple Music does not sound like what I was hoping for. Found the guitarist on Bandcamp.

haha i found her too once... i believe a song had 'riot' misspelled in its title as 'riat'

Hmmm, a certain site keeps sliding Joe Bonamassa promoted clips to me. What does this mean?
― grandavis, Monday, 8 February 2016 18:42 (eight years ago) link
The good Sarah Louise is wonderful!

I've never even heard of this one! I'm a Twilight Peaks fanatic so if this (released a year before) is anything in that neighborhood, count me in...

Also, no vinyl reissue?

Sometimes they've had another label do the vinyl I think?

Anyone picking up that new Chuck Johnson full band LP Velvet Arc?
― Evan, Thursday, 11 February 2016 15:23 (eight years ago) link
Haven't even heard any tracks from it. Interested to see where he (Chuck Johnson) takes it for sure.
― grandavis, Thursday, 11 February 2016 16:31 (eight years ago) link
i dig it! blends the americana vibe w/ some spacier/minimalist moves very nicely. very much of a piece w/ his solo stuff, even though this is obviously more fleshed out.
― tylerw, Thursday, 11 February 2016 16:33 (eight years ago) link
You know there is a perfectly solid track as a preview on soundcloud right now, but I know I remember a more interesting track from it released prior yet I cannot find it now...
― Evan, Thursday, 11 February 2016 16:34 (eight years ago) link
Trad sounds mixed with spacier/minimalist moves basically a large part of my listening these days, so yeah I am probably going to get this in some form or another.
― grandavis, Thursday, 11 February 2016 16:45 (eight years ago) link
What will the Donald Miller stuff be like I wonder? Pretty much only know his Borbetomagus power moves.
donald's solo guitar stuff is pretty good, i saw him play a great 12-string set once (opening for charalambides in his own living room circa 2003). i'd say it'll fit in well with the vdsq vibe.
― adam, Thursday, 11 February 2016 18:12 (eight years ago) link
bummer :)
was hoping for full on destruction unit action, oh well
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Thursday, 11 February 2016 18:15 (eight years ago) link
Interested in Donald's take regardless of the direction. Always interesting to hear a distinct player mix it up.
― grandavis, Thursday, 11 February 2016 18:19 (eight years ago) link
friend has a plus 1 for Godspeed You Black Emporer & Xylouris White tonight, stoked to see XW........
....also I like godspeed a lot more than is safe to admit on ilm :)
― uptown garfunkel (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 11 February 2016 18:20 (eight years ago) link
just missed that show out here... I do not care for Godspeed, u should be ashamed of yourself, m@tt. however xylouris white are unbelievable, so good.
― tylerw, Thursday, 11 February 2016 18:28 (eight years ago) link
i'll keep an eye out for you ums

xylouris white playing in my hood next week with elisa ambrogio, who is never not good, psyched
― adam, Thursday, 11 February 2016 18:40 (eight years ago) link
oh yeah, that's going to be good
― tylerw, Thursday, 11 February 2016 18:45 (eight years ago) link
Man I would sure like to see a Xylouris White + Elisa Ambrogio show! Gonna be awesome.
― grandavis, Friday, 12 February 2016 15:48 (eight years ago) link
xylouris white was great! jim white's animal from muppets mannerisms are the best he is def one of my fav musicians of all time
godspeed was good! #fthehaterz *fire emoji* *100 emoji*
― uptown garfunkel (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 12 February 2016 16:17 (eight years ago) link
yeah he is such a great drummer, maybe the *best* drummer.
― tylerw, Friday, 12 February 2016 16:25 (eight years ago) link
I am cool with that statement
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Friday, 12 February 2016 16:27 (eight years ago) link
you guys checked out Nikos Xylouris yet? Greek musician -- George Xylouris' uncle I believe. was pretty famous in Greece, I guess -- kinda great stuff:

good show, getting pretty sick of really packed mainroom tho
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 12 February 2016 16:43 (eight years ago) link
Man, I go to so many shows that struggle to get anyone to them, I forget what it is like to go to a packed main room. Just part of living in a small town.
― grandavis, Friday, 12 February 2016 16:45 (eight years ago) link
i am so envious of jim white for getting to be the fichelscher in that duo. i do not think he is the best drummer, but he plays with a lot of feeling. do i remember people describing him as a "sympathetic" drummer?
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Friday, 12 February 2016 17:10 (eight years ago) link
yeah i think he's wonderful because he has a very personal/distinctive style, but doesn't ever overwhelm the music -- though w/ XW he's able to be a bit flashier. also the hair.
― tylerw, Friday, 12 February 2016 17:13 (eight years ago) link
does the dirty three still exist? seems like it's been a few years since they did anything ... though maybe that is the norm for them.
