ILX Gonna Shine in My Backdoor Someday (new post-Fahey folk for ppl posting in Takoma/Tompkins Square threads Pt II)

Pasquarosa seems like an interesting guy. Need to check more of his albums out.

Glenn just mentioned to me that he just finished mastering his new album on Sunday. Released slated for March.

Yes! Great news.

oh hey check it out

I'm finding Matthew Mullane - VDSQ (vol.4) to be probably one of my all-time favorite solo instrumental records right now. I could listen to it over and over and over.

yeah it is great... only prob is that one side of my LP has a nasty defect! a huge vibe killing pop. vinyl, what is it good for?

I'm listening to it right now - for the first time in ages. It's fabulous.

I've got to pick up "Hut Variations" ASAP as well. I'd totally forgotten about it.

don't know what other thread to put this in. this be worth seeing? a little expensive for me but he's a legend

yeah, go; he's still awesome live

New Cian Nugent song. Going the vocal route, and not much guitar overdrive on it at all (though he takes a nice, but short, solo). Fairly low-key and straightforward. Out on Woodsist, which gives you an idea of the sound/feel (of this tune at least):

yeahhh i like this!

Yeah, it's nice. Interested to hear what the rest of the record is like.

almost all of the new one has vocals, so it's obviously moving a little bit out of this thread's territory, but I think Cian's done a good job of slipping into a more traditional singer-songwriter role. (and the new album has plenty of great guitar playing too)

yeah dude it's mandatory

he's pretty mindblowing.
was just listening to a live disc from the 80s and it's insane the avant things he's doing on guitar, while still having an accordion dude pumping away behind him.

my first experience seeing Richard Thompson live was at a small club i was working. I had somehow never heard of him (I know, I know) and just wandered into the space ten minutes into a solo acoustic performance and it was like a hammer. I ran backstage afterward and cornered him with "WOW, you're really good man!" and he was very friendly and cool about it. Best conceivable way to discover him imo.

love it. buying a ticket now

you gonna go, ums?

me trying to explain thompson to my gf after that show "it's like he's playing TWO GUITARS somehow"

- global - yeah it's been a long time i hope to go

actually was sort of underwhelmed by the recent Acoustic Classics album ("unplugged" renditions of concert faves) -- his vocals are a little overbearing on it. guitar playing is of course excellent.

man cian nugent born with the caul is one of the all time great jam albums, so gorgeous

yeah so good.

love this thread

okay normally i'm a bit bashful about sharing my stuff in here but i truly feel good about this set... takes a bit to get really cooking but i think it works. excited to have found a live 'sound' that works for me. using two amps and splitting my signal between various effects rather than just blasting all this noise into one amp with a sorta limited dynamic range

https://stevepalmer.bandcamp.com/album/live-november-2015

Sounds great!! I need to get back into recording, too. Thanks for sharing.

yeah, gonna check this out! when's yr next album coming out?

Yeah Global, that sound is great! Always nice to hit on stuff that opens things up sonically. Nice trajectory to the set too, great job.

Also, for anyone not aware, the Tashi Dorji/Marisa Anderson split is up for streaming:

http://www.spin.com/2015/11/tashi-dorji-marisa-anderson-split-lp-stream/

Haven't listened yet, but this is very much "my kinda thing" so I am psyched (but I already ordered the record so I mean I am gonna have plenty of time to lay into this one).

yeah, gonna check this out! when's yr next album coming out?

working on some more 'band' material... pretty out-there stuff. touchpoints are like harmonia and alice coltrane 'journey' but doesn't really sound like any of those, more along their loose-limbed vibe/texture. not rushing into anything though, definitely waiting for the good stuff to reveal itself

guessing at least one year out for a release?

harmonia and alice coltrane? eh, doesn't sound like it'll be good at all.

ya it'll suck

working less on 'songwriting' and more getting into a specific feeling/moment. doesn't hurt that my roommate is schooled in jazz!

Nice man, look forward to seeing where this winds up!

awesome I guess Tom Carter is playing Minneapolis at an art space during a record swap in November :):):):):):)

I'm going to see Vampire Belt on Sunday!

nace + corsano, right? i've never heard them actually -- what are they like? good i assume.

yup -- i don't know much about what they sound like either but i am interested in guitar-drums duos who mix composed with improvised so i'm looking forward to it
some quotes here to sum it up http://www.cor-sano.com/vampirebelt/

corsano is always worth seeing

yup
they've got a new record too

Whoa, would love to see that. And Tom Carter! Enjoy.

Haven't seen Corsano since 2012 or so, and that was solo (which was awesome!). Hope he cruises through here sometime in the not too distant future.

Did not know of Vampire Belt!

ctrl+f thread for "Joan" shows me I'm a couple months behind on this one, but: this Joan Shelley record, y'all. WOW.

yeah definitely one of the top 3 albums of 2015 for me. pretty much perfect.

you guys omg
i realize this thread is for more fingerpickin acoustic stuff but vampire belt scrambled my brains last night. i don't think chris corsano has any bones, he's like a glowing ageless alien supported by translucent cartilage. bill nace played sitting down and did all kinds of weird stuff that i can't describe very well because i am not a guitar player. the other guy who played (who was not local, unfortunately) was playing an electrified acoustic guitar and sounded like fuzzed out fricke/fichelscher. i talked his ear off :) idk if they're touring anywhere near y'all but i bought the new record (with change from the floor of my car) and i would definitely recommend it if you've got an appetite for some far out sounds.

that sounds awesome and honestly I think this thread is always appreciative of strains of improv/drone/underground rock that intersect w/american primitive and stuff, there's a lot of crossover anyway

but...to bring it back to some old school trill O.Gs choppin up game....for those of you in the southwest and west coast...

Bown down when I'm westward bound"
