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

Cool Sleeve, glad to hear it is a good one (promising premise for sure). So yeah, going to get it if I can get a batch of work out of the way.

I had cooled on the Forsyth band a bit (didn't love all the tunes on IG but still obviously a good record and pretty great live band), but this new song is heading in a direction I am into. Some overt Dead moods being cast, but for me a cooler framework songwise than some of the stuff on IG. Mabe it is just moodier in a way I dig, I don't know. Worth checking though, good audio for the vid:

Ahh crap, I tried to just post the URL, forgot how to keep it from auto-embedding.

Well, let's see if this one will keep from auto-embedding. Really into this Matthew Mullane set from the VDSQ showcase. a) He is playing a strat so yeah solidarity and b) he does a lot of cool shit that borders on being jazzy and has pretty unique phrasing/tics. Gotta check more of this dude's stuff out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQbgzPZWO1A

Damnit, will just post some kind of bastardized version of the URL, the tags that are supposed to just post the linkable URL are still auto-embedding youtubes (pretty sure for both HTTPS and HTTP).

Also, people are seriously fucking with me today and I need some music to get through it. Sorry, this is unimportant shit but I need it today.

you gotta put a period into youtube so that it is youtu.be iirc (watch, this won't work now)

https://www.youtu.be.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yQbgzPZWO1A

nope, that doesn't link properly

I guess we can use url tags

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yQbgzPZWO1A

Dude, I did that! What the hell. Literally put the link in the URL tags and let it rip, but it still got auto-embedded.

it's a sign, you should take the day off :)

Yep.

yeah, i really like that mullane VDSQ LP - might like the electric side more than the acoustic (though both are excellent)

oh and hey i know what i'm listening to today: http://www.nyctaper.com/2015/04/sir-richard-bishop-april-10-2015-union-pool-flacmp3streaming-2/

Thanks Tyler, need some immersive listening today.

sweeeeet

Brace yerselves for Drag City Newsletter prose---might be worth it, considering the topic:

SYSTEM CELL RESEARCH

Humanity, hear our plea - your habitual thinking is bringing us DOWN. You've systematized old and outdated impulses without looking to see where you are standing - and it's gonna be your end. Ben Chasny, he of Six Organs of Admittance fame, is concerned. How are you ever gonna REALLY understand how to play your guitar unless you jettison those bad old habits? Ben wants a world of evolved sensibilities, people who understand and can relate to the problem of problems - not with a whetted-blanket quitter's mentality, but with an oath to fight further into the heart of the matter - to, as he puts it, "dissolve the musical structures that have been imposed on the player's mind." That's part of what turned him on to the Hexadic System. Another part of it was his longstanding fascination with chance operations, serialism, and combinatorial structures meant to aid the process of creativity by deepening one's experience of it. This is not a short-cut; it's a scenic route that will provide the guitar player with an up-close experience of tonal relationships that can only expand the knowledge her fingertips! And all you need to enter into this exciting new world of correspondences is a pack of playing cards. Any basic poker deck will work - but if you're really interested in the Hexadic way, why not just go the distance and pick up a Hexadic deck from us? Not only are the cards custom-designed by Steve Quenell to represent the right amount of occult whaziz, but they also feature references to a number of influential names with regard to Ben's System research - heavy-hitters like Bachelard, Agrippa, Llull, Paz and Deren (to name but a straight-flush-worth! - card-countin' ed)! Get the book and learn all about Triadic Movements, Fractured Tonal Fields, Hexafields and Dynamic Imagination - then get the cards and make it all real by aligning the deck with your neck - guitar neck that is, keep up boy, don't lose the thread, you bother me! Once the basics have been covered, you can start exploring and finding new combinations - but not only those combinations, but suggestions as to how you can interact with your new correspondences in order to continue to creative push-pull with renewed energy! Ben's on tour right now, playing the Hexadic music that this system produced - but once he's down with shows both here and in Europe, he's gonna come back and get a PowerPoint system together like you wouldn't believe! The Talking Hexadic tour starts here! Keep your future vision fixed right here, Hexadic nation!

oh my fucking god the lead track of the Sir Richard Bishop set that tyler linked above is a ten minute version of "The Vinegar Stroke", one of my very favorite SCG songs that clocks in at less than two minutes on the LP version, this is totally amazing

"The Vinegar Stroke"Space Prophet Dogon, Vinegar Stroke is track 3 and also great, 2:38.

we're going to see him in Portland tomorrow night, it's our anniversary!

Happy anniversary! Maybe bishop will serenade you two with something really romantic.

who was the person having glenn jones play at their wedding? that must have been perfect- his music can be so wistful and pretty... great for outdoor ceremony

Me! It will be outdoors. Getting closer now... July 18th.

I was going to reach out to start talking through which tunes and general schedule but I was told his mother recently passed away. So I'm giving him some time.

I'm sure it WILL be perfect. I can't wait!

Will there be a bootleg of your wedding y/n

Hah hah. Sounds pretty ideal Evan, hope it is a great day for you.

Will Ackerman keeping my library company this Friday. Where does he fall in the scope of this whole scene?

first few records i've heard by him fit right in there for sure. turtle's navel is gorgeous.

I started the day off with the Nathan Salsburg and Jim Elkington duets record on Tompkins Square and just kind impulsively went for Turtle's Navel afterwords and have had it and It Takes A Year on repeat ever since.

Good stuff.

of interest to everyone here, i think

hey all! got a new job so ilxing is limited

hope you are all great

just recorded a version of "silent night", idea was if Low was fingerpicking

http://soundcloud.com/matthew-lee-helgeson/silent-night

Sleeve, seems they will only be available individually from the artits "at a later date", at least the vinyl. I think you have to get the set itself from Three Lobed.

heh heh, split payment option though! cory is nothing if not considerate...

UMS, you didn't negotiate ILM time with your new employer? (Also, congrats on the new job, I hope it is a good one for you.) Gonna check the "Silent Night" out!

Here is a nice low-key Mike & Cara Gangloff release you can stream. Usual stuff from them, very pleasant on a Monday afternoon:

https://makramerecords.bandcamp.com/album/mike-cara-gangloff-a-domestic-art

"Silent Night" sounding great UMS, slow and stately, just how I like it.

Mr. Bishop was fabulous in PDX, and his set had virtually no overlap with the NYCtaper set above. Plus, he had Unrock releases for super cheap ($15)!

new dbh album sounding v good so far

oooohh! cool what label put it out?

thread recordings. as with the last album, first release on the label. CD, no vinyl, on spotify too.

"Even if you live in a bog you can still have a good dance sometimes."

indeed.

Pretty nice new Chuck Johnson tune from upcoming Scissor Tail release. All acoustic guitar, no electronics etc.

https://scissortail.bandcamp.com/album/blood-moon-boulder

man, really good year so far for solo acoustic records -- bishop, bachman, johnson, dorji -- all fantastic. gotta check out the new dbh.

Gotta get that Bachman. Probably wait till I get to see him live, but may not be able to wait that long as I have no idea when he will swing through again. I am going to have trouble not sending Three Lobed all my money this year.

waiting on mine in the mail... excited. the track what jeff conklin played on WFMU a few weeks ago is stellar

Yeah, that track is pretty epic.

the two-parter that opens side 2 is incredible -- probably his most gorgeous tune yet.

Freeform Freakout Foxy Podcast featuring Grass Tops records:

https://soundcloud.com/free-form-freakout/fffoxy-podcast-57-in-studio-session-with-kyle-fosburgh-christoph-bruhn-of-grass-tops-recording

got to play a show with Christoph Bruhn on Wednesday...he's amazing and Nic Garcia was on the bill as well

also on the bill was John Zuma Saint Pelvyn, who I was not aware of! Anyway, he's on the more deconstructed side of things (weirder Bishop stuff and Orcutt), but really cool....he has a theramin that he uses while he's playing guitar, he'll be playing, then stick his headstock close to the theramin to get it to squeal while he's playing....anyway easier to see than to explain:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNqdHJ3IFjw

^ was a cool set

i think the DBH track was my favorite on IA7

and this new one is really great... scratching a certain itch i've had lately, been looking for some upbeat but wistful acoustic stuff. this is perfect
