It was nice hearing the Wong solo guitar creeping into the last Ponytail album. It's a shame they had to end there. I felt like they were really finding their sound on that one.

the Takako Minekawa collaboration is super super lovely, not into that soundcloud track quite as much but still enough to really look forward to the album.

am I doing something wrong with this live feed? I've had still images with a tiny sliver of moving action on the right hand side.

ya as i am very very smart i came to notice that it was the album playing after about five tracks. thx for the consolation prize, that's a cute jumper indeed.

honestly i'm not crazy about the wong/minekawa album (it's fine but feels insubstantial) but his new album ("meditation of ecstatic energy") is really really good. pumped to see him play live this friday.

really enjoying Mediation so far, and perfect title too

i really love that minekawa album, but uhh yeah, mediation is some mind-bending shit. something new/amazing pretty much every 10 seconds.

i like the density of his solo stuff so the airiness of the minekawa collabo just might not have been what i was looking for
― congratulations (n/a), Wednesday, 18 September 2013 21:54 (ten years ago) link
yeah obviously he's gotta give her room, but there is some really lovely stuff on there

he is a swell dude I know a band who toured with him they say he was great every night and just a peach of a person.

Very promising. Not sure why it goes all I Zimbra in the middle but, on the other hand, why not?

it's up on bandcamp now: https://umorrex.bandcamp.com/album/exit-future-heart it's very different from the minekawa/wong collaborations, based on my quick skim

one of the best guitarists alive imo
― flappy bird, Thursday, 10 May 2018 03:03 (five years ago) link
Yeah, got lots of time for his stuff. Would like him to venture back to an album that sounds kinda like the stuff he did with Ponytail, though.
