cool...

btw there's a new reissue of Avocet by Bert Jansch, 79 album I'd not heard

wow, to me it's on the level of Gimmer Nicholson (not in that it's at all similar stylistically) in terms of you gotta hear this...it's him, a guy on mandacello and some other string instruments and the ever awesome danny thompson on drums...very loose exploratory jammy feel...best way i could describe it is imagine the band from Astral Weeks exploring more celtic music territory without a singer...but yeah if you love Jansch/Pentangle/etc this is a must-hear....

I'd imagine 79 was a real low ebb in terms of Jansch's fashionability so maybe that's why i've never heard it

just gorgeous music....again not similar stylistically but if you dug born with a caul era cian nugent youd'd dig this

a little talk on the jansch thread about it, really great record.

the title track is a mega jam

you had me until "celtic music"

yeah, i love avocet so much - here's my little write-up, plus a sample: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/02/22/bert-jansch-avocet/
probably wouldn't have been the soundest commercial decision, but i feel like jansch could've just kept making records like this for the remainder of his career.
and since i'm plugging AD stuff, here's my write-up of various Solar Motel goings ons: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/03/01/checking-back-into-the-solar-motel-chris-forsyth-the-solar-motel-band-sunwatchers-nick-millevoi/

I had my first proper listen to Avocet last night and was similarly blown away. I think it tails off into abstraction after the title track, but bloody hell, what a track.

Beyond the title track, "Kingfisher" is a favorite for me

Don't let that scare you off I promise, unless like you can't stand Fairport or Pentangle

not cool with this ^^^^

Avocet is lovely btw; listening now.

still haven't heard the live album Jansch did w/ Jenkins -- maybe it'll be a future reissue?

Psyched that I am getting to play with Sunwatchers next week. Cool band that should translate really well live I imagine. Good write-ups Tyler!

yeah, that record is extremely fun.

Think it will be a total blast live. That Millevoi track is really nice as well, know him more for his noise/really out solo stuff, but this is just super nice and low key.

yeah the millevoi has a nice classic calexico thing happening, I think.

sunwatchers and nick millevoi are playing on the same bill on sunday but it's the same night charalambides are playing. please advise.

Gotta go to Charalambides. There is no question (I mean, you can't really lose, but who knows how many times you will get to see Charalambides ....)

ha yeah, from what i gather the Charalambides gigs aren't a full-fledged comeback, so who knows when the next chance you'll get to see them will be.

i saw them play 13 or so years ago in donald miller's living room, it was a transformative experience. yall are right.

Charalambides would win this no matter who was playing the other show

Sleeve is correct

Let us all bask in the glow and majesty of the most recent Charalambides record. I would honestly be cool w/ this tune being played at my funeral:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KuJ_ND6S6A

I would probably be a blubbering mess by the end of this if I saw it live.

I specifically have that song listed in my funeral instructions

Into the Earth is a thing of majesty, but mine would probably have to be Dormant Love.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCo71m3vBT4

I didn't mean to embed mine, sorry for the youtube bombing. How the hell do I not embed a youtube again? Had hoped the using the url tags would keep it a url, you know?

Also that Charalambides song does indeed also rule.

What grandavis said - I tried not to embed!

And thanks for the Spotify playlist update. The Chuck Johnson tracks are glorious.

forks robbing me of my tastemaker status in the american primitive underground what do i have left ;_;

The playlist is very fond of a 'choogle', innit - it's as much post Neil Young as it is post-Fahey!

that's likely a function of which artists / labels have catalogue on spotify

as per the earlier kerfuffle, i would love to see someone pick up my slack and build soundcloud/youtube playlists as well.

anyone heard of these instruments?? this rules

http://www.vhfrecords.com/catalog/jesse-sparhawk-eric-carbonara-sixty-strings-lpcd-vhf129

"Sixty Strings is an album of two epic duets by Eric Carbonara (22-string upright Chaturangui guitar) and Jesse Sparhawk (38 string lever harp)."

this is a zillion xps but if anyone wants to hear our set on friday it's on my soundcloud :)

Link?

sorry i was on my phone before, ta da https://soundcloud.com/marshmallowy/sets/sabertooth-dream-22616-live-at-elastic-arts

i'm no jim white but i'm +/- ok with how it turned out

i don't think the style really fits this thread but you're an open minded bunch

i listened to this -- and I LIKED IT. eno cover really takes off!

thanks! i'm glad you liked it! :D i felt like i had just started cookin and then the set was over but i guess it's better to play too little than too much.

Wow that is great!
Also late period nnck/cul de sac/noise noodling Fahey kinda means we can justify about anything tbh :)

that is ilx user n/a on guitar noodles

i'm into it
