yeah, i love avocet so much - here's my little write-up, plus a sample: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/02/22/bert-jansch-avocet/probably wouldn't have been the soundest commercial decision, but i feel like jansch could've just kept making records like this for the remainder of his career. and since i'm plugging AD stuff, here's my write-up of various Solar Motel goings ons: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/03/01/checking-back-into-the-solar-motel-chris-forsyth-the-solar-motel-band-sunwatchers-nick-millevoi/

I had my first proper listen to Avocet last night and was similarly blown away. I think it tails off into abstraction after the title track, but bloody hell, what a track.
― Poacher (Chinaski), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 15:21 (ten years ago)
Beyond the title track, "Kingfisher" is a favorite for mewww.youtube.com/watch?v=IVsJhBtr32E

Don't let that scare you off I promise, unless like you can't stand Fairport or Pentangle

Avocet is lovely btw; listening now.
― ulysses, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 15:37 (ten years ago)
still haven't heard the live album Jansch did w/ Jenkins -- maybe it'll be a future reissue? https://cdn.discogs.com/HlNkt8DH64fJZD-GQpwphhMbqYA=/fit-in/600x596/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(96)/discogs-images/R-3612356-1417189962-2862.jpeg.jpg

Psyched that I am getting to play with Sunwatchers next week. Cool band that should translate really well live I imagine. Good write-ups Tyler!
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:05 (ten years ago)
yeah, that record is extremely fun.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:06 (ten years ago)
Think it will be a total blast live. That Millevoi track is really nice as well, know him more for his noise/really out solo stuff, but this is just super nice and low key.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:12 (ten years ago)
yeah the millevoi has a nice classic calexico thing happening, I think.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:15 (ten years ago)
sunwatchers and nick millevoi are playing on the same bill on sunday but it's the same night charalambides are playing. please advise.
― adam, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:17 (ten years ago)
Gotta go to Charalambides. There is no question (I mean, you can't really lose, but who knows how many times you will get to see Charalambides ....)
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:22 (ten years ago)
ha yeah, from what i gather the Charalambides gigs aren't a full-fledged comeback, so who knows when the next chance you'll get to see them will be.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:23 (ten years ago)
i saw them play 13 or so years ago in donald miller's living room, it was a transformative experience. yall are right.
― adam, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:26 (ten years ago)
Charalambides would win this no matter who was playing the other show
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:26 (ten years ago)
Sleeve is correct
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:37 (ten years ago)
Let us all bask in the glow and majesty of the most recent Charalambides record. I would honestly be cool w/ this tune being played at my funeral:

― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:39 (ten years ago)
I would probably be a blubbering mess by the end of this if I saw it live.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:40 (ten years ago)
I specifically have that song listed in my funeral instructions
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:50 (ten years ago)
Into the Earth is a thing of majesty, but mine would probably have to be Dormant Love.

I didn't mean to embed mine, sorry for the youtube bombing. How the hell do I not embed a youtube again? Had hoped the using the url tags would keep it a url, you know?
Also that Charalambides song does indeed also rule.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 17:06 (ten years ago)
What grandavis said - I tried not to embed!
And thanks for the Spotify playlist update. The Chuck Johnson tracks are glorious.

The playlist is very fond of a 'choogle', innit - it's as much post Neil Young as it is post-Fahey!
― Poacher (Chinaski), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 17:21 (ten years ago)
that's likely a function of which artists / labels have catalogue on spotify
― ulysses, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 17:27 (ten years ago)
as per the earlier kerfuffle, i would love to see someone pick up my slack and build soundcloud/youtube playlists as well.
anyone heard of these instruments?? this rules

i listened to this -- and I LIKED IT. eno cover really takes off!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 23:43 (ten years ago)
thanks! i'm glad you liked it! :D i felt like i had just started cookin and then the set was over but i guess it's better to play too little than too much.
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 23:49 (ten years ago)
