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

man that review is some bullshit

also I thought about it a while ago and I still think it's a good idea so I was wondering if instead of running one or more fahey polls if people would be up for a fahey listening thread where we gradually work through the big man's output in a neophyte-friendly fashion?

early pitchfork!
didn't know that some don't consider red cross "illegitimate" -- for some reason i thought it was all ready to go before he died. but i am probably misremembering.

Just wanna sign onto a Fahey listening thread Ogmor, as I am no completist and would learn a lot trawling throught the years of Fahey with some guidance.

Mind you I have heard plenty, it would just be a nice way to fill in the gaps. While I like polls OK, I think I would find a Fahey poll tedious.

I would also rather have a listening thread that another artist poll

yeah a listening thread would be great (don't really want to do a ranking thing). but it'd be great to go through it with y'all.

Posting on phone so excuse the brevity. Thanks for the plug Tyler! I love love love that recording. I hope I can turn others into it. untitled with rain is great, I love the atmosphere and studio banter you can hear. And absolutely would participate in a Fahey discography run through

Damn, I love this short piece/excerpt from the upcoming Tashi Dorji LP on Bathetic. I don't know, just works for me but won't convince anyone not into it already. Just rides a lot of lines I enjoy:

gotta check that new dorji out.

Crispy!
I would be down with a listening thread
I don't wanna do a poll, I'm not good at ranking stuff

agree on both counts.

also i never post here but this is the best thread on ilx, basically everything i hear from this thread is dope, thanks yall

Happy birthday -

Fahey week still going over at delta slider, Scott put up those DoD outtakes I uploaded along with another post of the full Zabriskie Point sessions. Which are pretty wild, seemingly endless, low fidelity noodling. Loving it. Had never come across it before.

swweeeeeet. still gotta check out those dance of death outtakes. never heard the zabriskie pt sessions either! i love fahey's (perhaps untrue) story about a fistfight w/ antonioni.

That story in "How Bluegrass Music Destroyed My Life" is so good, whether completely true or not. Might need to read that book again, it has been a while.

Also, welcome Adam! Nice to know there are some folks tuning in here. An endlessly generous thread in my opinion.

the gunn/twig pickers is really great, like the more casual jammy feel, the last gunn album is good but almost felt a bit too put together in some way

I love that Gunn record, especially after seeing the songs from it live, but really look forward to hearing that Gunn/Pickers record for the reason you mention too (i.e., a loose run through of some primo material by some great musicians).

Checking out this new Andrew Weathers tape (well, bandcamp stream) and really enjoying it:

https://andrewweathers.bandcamp.com/album/littlefield

Nice phrasing and repetition in my opinion, pretty considered and restrained but purposefully so. Nice sound all around for me.

you can check out a track from the new/great daniel bachman record on three lobed now: http://threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/river

Yeah, that new Daniel Bachman tune is killer. This album is going to be really really good.

Pretty sure it was all recorded in a single day.

Robbie Basho on "Nightflight" - Interview on radio -- so funny the host plugs a Bauhaus gig before Basho's interview starts

http://soundcloud.com/grasstopsrecording/sets/bfbs-nightflight-interview

haha, yeah, at first i was like ... Basho opened for Bauhaus?!

checkin out the upcoming tashi dorji on bathetic -- really gorgeous! this guy is in a league of his own, but man, so good.

good local bandcamp discovery - Orchard Thief

this is super meditative am prim stuff, has some earlier album on spotify that are much more ambient/lo-fi mix of electronics and guitar effected stuff (also very good and worth checking out)

http://orchardthief.bandcamp.com/album/guitar-river

does anyone know anything about david lacey, the guy who plays drums on born with the caul? his discogs page is a bunch of stuff i've never heard of http://www.discogs.com/artist/654765-David-Lacey

don't know anything about him -- only name i recognize there is keith rowe from AMM? i do really like his drumming w/ the cosmos, a nice lope you don't hear too much these days.

me too! i've been communing with "double horse" and i tried to play it the other day and it's challenging but also reaaaaaally enjoyable

yeah, i've actually played that song to the drummer in my band and told him to copy the vibe. harder than it seems.

seems to be a matter of control and feel rather than technical expertise afaict

yeah, getting into the "zone," holding back as much as you're diving in.
seems like cian nugent has been making a new record -- maybe a mix of stuff w/ and w/o the cosmos i think?

holding back as much as you're diving in.
otm, like a dance

Have you guys heard this record?

http://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/7746

yeah! it is pretty good - maybe not as fully formed as the stuff he's gone on to do, but well worth checking out if you like him. cool that it is getting a proper release -- I just have mp3s.

i have it, it's more soundscapey than a lot of things he's done. some droney/found sound collage stuff plus acoustic tracks. he re-recorded a song or two here and there- one for sure shows up on the blue ash montgomery release from last year. pretty decent if you're into him but i'd say he's more fully-fleshed out on newer releases?

tyler read my mind

Alright, awesome thanks guys! Been browsing the RSD list... might have to pick up the Giant Sand reissue but all of his records are in the "lingers and gets marked down over time" category of RSD releases.

Giant Sand reissue as well*

not quite on topic for this thread, but the key RSD release is the Hagerty-Toth Band on Three Lobed.

Record Store Day (4/18) ltd. ed. double-LP reissue of Wm. Tyler's Deseret Canyon, T.'s video, streams, tour dates here: http://www.mergerecords.com/william-tyler-deseret-canyon

Yeah we were just discussing that one! I'm definitely going to pick that up.

hey you guys know Reverb.com? It's basically an online site, a used gear marketplace for private sellers and buyers, I guess like Discogs for music gear/guitar/equipment etc?

Anyway I was looking for a DI box for recording stuff and it turns out some of the staffers on the blog there are into solo guitar stuff and they do these cool (and really well recorded) interview/playing sessions! Bachman, Steve Gunn, Kaki King, and Nels Cline

hey brigade buds

dying for bad music made a "field guide to sarah louise" on soundcloud that i really like, can't remember if she's been mentioned

http://soundcloud.com/dyingforbadmusic/sets/sarah-louise-field-guide-outtakes

i myself am still plagued a bit by this tendonitis which unfortunately may be a part of some larger infllammatory thing going on with me, awaiting some tests & hopefully can get this worked out but worrisome and potentially threatening to my career as America's 1500th best American Primitive Guitarist (TM) :/

bought some phosphor bronze/silk/steel hybrid john pearse strings nic garcia told me could be a little easier on the picking hand...

i dunno, either way i want to record what i have written so worse comes to worse i'll gobble an unhealthy amount of advil for a month and at least get an "album" done for bandcamp

got a squier strat off craigslist this weekend, really nice little guitar, 96 "50th anniversary" some guy fixed up, plays great -- forgot how much easier it is to play electric, hoping this will be easier on me

anyway been moving from audacity to reaper for recording and listening to a lot of crazy horse so i blew off a little steam and jammed out to this thing (tyler should get a kick out of the song title at least)....my little dinky offbrand version of solar motel chris forsyth :) was fun to play lead, hadn't in ages

http://soundcloud.com/matthew-lee-helgeson/honey-slides

sorry to hear about the ongoing tendonitis issues, dude!
"honey slides" sounds nice and shakey.
need to check out more of the sarah louise stuff, sounds good. actually just saw that she wrote me an email a few months back and i ignored it! what a jerk. i get a lot of emails.

and while i'm here, i'll reiterate that the last richard bishop album (tangier sessions) is totally amazing.

Gonna see him soon!

^ gonna be at that

saw him open for swans once, i think it was good, but i wasn't really in a place to 'get' that sort of playing so excited to have a second chance to see him

and while i'm here, i'll reiterate that the last richard bishop album (tangier sessions) is totally amazing.

Oh! I happened to pick this up on Saturday! Still have to listen to it but I loved the tracks I had already heard. He was amazing live last year in Jersey City.
