tbh I usually vote but I can't help feel that it's a waste of time since most of the things I vote for will be ignored. But if I do vote I'm definitely putting both Sarah Louise and Glenn Jones on my ballot.

matt valentine put on a show tonight in town and it wasn't exclusively related to this thread, but definitely one of the best guitar shows i've seen in a long time.
JAN 12thWET TUNA (MV/P.G. SIX DUO) (this was awesome. epic cover of dylan's "one more cup of coffee")JOHN SHAW (solo electric from john of magik markers)GALACTO FIDELITY (BYRON COLEY/MATT KREFTING/BILL NACE) (this had to be heard to be believed)CRYSTALLINE ROSES (tony pasquarosa and MV acoustic duo with rad fx)FROZEN CORN (tony and josh burkett's olde tyme trio with chris carlton. excellent uncle dave macon closer)PIGEONS (pigeons with PG Six and John Moloney on drums. amazing double guitar action)
he's doing another show next week in the same place. this dive bar got bought by a cool dude and he fixed it up really nice and it has great sound and a great bar. right around the corner from my store.

Wet Tuna! Forthcoming LP on Poon Village? That show does look great.
― tylerw, Friday, 13 January 2017 15:29 (seven years ago) link
Yeah man, that is the kind of show I wish happened here more frequently, not that I should complain. Have had many decent shows in the past few years. Guess we all should to move to Western Mass/Southern Vermont, huh ....

listening to Nace's new album that i got from him last night. live duo performance with Greg Kelley on amplified trumpet. very cool. abstract improv. sounds great.
― scott seward, Friday, 13 January 2017 16:25 (seven years ago) link
that show last night was extra good. there are lots of good shows around here. but everyone sounded so good. they have a good sound guy and a good PA at this bar. which is a rarity in the places that most people play around here. and it's just a really comfortable space. can't wait to hear willie down there. he will definitely benefit from their set-up. will bring earplugs for sunburned and herbcraft. the guy who owns the bar loves bass and reggae dub and he has huge PA speakers that i imagine can get pretty intense with a big rock thing. should be cool.

didn't know if i was going to like this at first, but it's good! kinda more chopsy, but good.

Those shows look great Scott. The new england freek excursions are probably my overall favorite group of artists (time-lag, etc...) and are partially responsible for bringing me into the solo guitar fold.
Grandavis - I would hope for VA/NC's sake they do one of those free folk mountain jam fest's again! I can't remember what the official billing was but I remember it involving Lajoie, MV, and others
― Neal Cassady, Friday, 13 January 2017 20:20 (seven years ago) link
Yeah man, me too! If I was a different kind of guy I would try to set it up, but hell maybe it'll happen without me. Lots of folks hovering around this area that could be the driver, maybe we can plant the seed here.

saw Higgins about 10 years ago and it was a great show. the cellist, Maureen Wells (who played on Red Hash) kind of stole the show, both her playing and sardonic wit. think the other players were (mostly?) from the album as well.

That came out wrong. That's an 18m excerpt, not a whole concert. A lot of good stuff though! xp

Roadrunner had it in their new cutout discount bin, only one, did have 2 PG Six records who I always meant to check out & would have gotten if not for Gimmer
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 15 January 2017 17:31 (seven years ago) link
It's definitely the kind of record that easily makes it to the discount bin. The high list price + obscure artist reissue recipe.
― Evan, Sunday, 15 January 2017 18:57 (seven years ago) link
true but you never know when something's gonna go full on Rodriguez, and I sorta felt like this one (guitar soli + Big Star: err, no brainer) had a chance of "breaking through," so to speak
― Wimmels, Sunday, 15 January 2017 19:01 (seven years ago) link
Sure but not so much with instrumental genres
― Evan, Sunday, 15 January 2017 20:02 (seven years ago) link
yeah, unfortunately true. I still think this one should have gotten more attention than it did, but I feel that way about 90% of the new things I like nowadays
― Wimmels, Sunday, 15 January 2017 20:10 (seven years ago) link
Am still listening to that Gimmer pretty regularly. Perfectly happy to have paid full price for it, but nice you got one for cheap UMS.

I'll probably pick that up when Spring starts to come in. I associate music strongly with location and season, so if I start binging it now it'll be a winter album and that doesn't seem right.

Ooh I like this one UMS. Really nice descending lines, as well as pace (I don't know why but the tempo/phrasing is really working for me). Glad to have you back at it!
― grandavis, Friday, 10 February 2017 16:46 (seven years ago) link
Funny, since my early days posting here I have moved farther away from "straight" playing it seems. Kind of a shame, but I just can't escape the drone/minimal crap I get up to. I should get back to it as well.

In other news, I have been listening to Dr. Ragtime and his Pals and the Steve Gunn & Black Twig Pickers collab albums a lot these days. Maybe this is what is getting me all riled up for some tunes.

Joost Dijkema is an aspiring musician, as well as one of the few young fingerpick guitarists from the North of the Netherlands. He performs astounding acoustic guitarinstrumentals, mixed with wonderful songs and warm vocals, in which observations and stirrings of the soul from the past and present play a central role.
