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

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
http://threelobed.com/tlr/parallelogram.html

also available separately, thank you Three Lobed

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:

^ 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

does DBH play nylon string guitars? can't quite tell i think so though

stop the presses, there is a Wilburn Burchette reissue!

http://www.discogs.com/Wilburn-Burchette-Opens-The-Seven-Gates-Of-Transcendental-Consciousness/release/6892895

afaik dbh started out on electric but yes mostly classical guitar now. he has a great ear, a composerly touch and is v good at lush & idiomatic arrangements of all sorts of source material on his beloved nylon-stringed guitar. if you're curious he has videos spread over a few youtube accounts playing a lot of popish stuff like blondie, hendrix, kate bush, whitney houston, reo speedwagon... this is one of them https://youtu.be/ZhvFg64_Gis

there's also a dbh tab book out there which was put together without his knowledge by some local superfan, no idea if it's available anywhere but it's v satisfying stuff to play

New Bachman streaming now on NPR's First Listen:
http://www.npr.org/2015/05/10/404239750/first-listen-daniel-bachman-river
(New O'Rourke on there too)

Whoa, REO Speedwagon. Also, an embarrassment of riches on NPR this week music-wise. Kind of crazy.

REO Speedwagon are playing a song with Imagine Dragons on some late night show lmao

New Bachman is good... I'm still not sold on the whole thing (haven't had the time to really let it sink in) but the first track is a stunner. Anybody else notice a little gain/clipping throughout? I know string buzz is a big part of his sound (which I dig) but the digital and vinyl both have it I think

Haven't checked the Bachman stream yet, but that would be a big bummer if there is clipping. I am fully into string buzzing though.

Now I'm craving an album consisting only of string buzzing and fingers moving across the fretboard.

pretty sure there's a Jandek album like that

(j/k, I love Jandek)

I sure love the early Six Organs where he hammers the hell out of those low strings and generates all kinds of string buzz. Large chunks of Tashi Dorji essentially sound like exercises in using string buzz and sliding and all kinds of incidental guitar sounds to create very successful pieces. It is supremely satisfying to me.

Nice track from the upcoming Andrew Weathers Ensemble record. This guy is pretty interesting to me, though I haven't heard a ton. Have generally liked everything I have checked out though.

https://andrewweathers.bandcamp.com/album/fuck-everybody-you-can-do-anything

cool... this was my bandcamp discovery of the week: https://ruvennunez.bandcamp.com/album/evening-prayer
long, meditative loop-y electric guitar things. i like it.

Nice, will check that out. Jamming the Bachman stream on NPR before it goes down right now. So good.

looks like i'm getting close on getting chuck johnson a show in st paul :) :) :)

Nice!

nice, would love it if he came out here, but not holding my breath...

this stuff is incredibly awesome. from what i can tell this guy generally plays in just intonation but this is an album on weissenborn with heavy improv elements + tape delay/heavy FX. i've been looking for music like this:

https://chrisrainier.bandcamp.com/

Oh man, that basically sounds like my shit right there! Thanks!

could've sworn someone posted that on the last thread... or somewhere... maybe markus from dying for bad music was talking about it. anyway, hadn't listened but it looks great!

ya i found it from marcus

ah ok, knew it looked familiar! dude has his ear to the ground...
wsa just checking out this forthcoming thing he has. don't think this will actually be the cover but lol.

Yeah man, Marcus rules. Have trouble keeping up, but try to check out what he is throwing as much as I can.

you doing another release with him, global?

not on this upcoming batch, maybe in the future! just taking my time right now to figure out what to do in coming up with new stuff and trying to let things happen naturally

some of the tracks/sounds on 'unblinking sun' were like three or four years old so i guess i like to let things germinate
