new one is so good!
interesting interview here — didn't realize O'Rourke was involved: http://www.brownnoiseunit.com/interviews/interview-cooper-crain-bitchin-bajas/
Also good to hear that there's a new Cave album on the way ... later this year?

that's awesome news!

yeah...this is really, really good. "angels & demons at play" really floored me on first listen. and "2303" is the winter blanket of sound i needed.

dronestreet parts of '2023' (later sections with the horns) remind me of stuart dempster, check it out if you haven't

i don't think i've ever heard any of his music; thanks for the rec!
― dronestreet, Saturday, 18 November 2017 03:57 (six years ago) link
finally seeing these folks tonight, pumped for it!
― global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 14 February 2018 18:22 (six years ago) link
Radical -- I think they're super great live. Oh ...and the new record is their best, I think.
Also...last time they let me sit right in the middle of the amps because it was at a museum, and sound wasn't carrying too much. A++, highly recommended venue tactic.
― dronestreet, Wednesday, 14 February 2018 19:00 (six years ago) link
i would agree about this most recent rec being their best! i also think they'd come across better in a gallery type setting versus the rock venue i'll be seeing them in tonight, but hopefully there won't be a ton of chatty drunken ppl

crowds are unusually standoffish at worst at their chicago shows, never rowdyhometown shows are likely to bring out the usual cast of characters too so they aren't going to be disrespectfuli have never seen them outside of chicago -- maybe it's different elsewhere!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 14 February 2018 19:49 (six years ago) link
you can usually hear a pin drop at their chicago shows
― scoff walker (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 14 February 2018 23:01 (six years ago) link
sounds perfect
― global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 14 February 2018 23:21 (six years ago) link
I helped organize a show they played in Atlanta & the audience was really great. It was at a weird arty people venue not a rock venue though.
― vicious almond beliefs (crüt), Wednesday, 14 February 2018 23:44 (six years ago) link
i'll periscope the whole gig and you all can chime in with hearts if its arty, and a frowny face if its more of a rocker crowd

Majority of their stuff got added to Spotify (UK) this week!

New album is so good, want "Jammu" to play on a loop all day
― Paul Ponzi, Sunday, 8 April 2018 19:10 (six years ago) link
Saw them for the first time last night -- a really good show, just them and all their gear (and a flute and sax), doing a short but perfect set of exploratory pieces that hit a perfect balance between compact and understated improvisation.

amazing band...up there with the brilliant Dick Diver in the "this band name ain't doing you any favors" hall of fame

the last BB album was so good it made all the previous ones kinda moot for me, in a way. Like, it felt like such a huge step forward that the others all retrospectively sound like rehearsals for Bajas Fresh. I still really love the 2xLP s/t though

kidding aside, i feel like CDs are the best medium for the BBs, like ECM records or the necks ...
― tylerw, Monday, 16 July 2018 20:52 (five years ago) link
I read an article about this very thing recently (stuff that's better on CD), and it even mentioned the Necks as an example iirc (not sure I agree though. Unfold was as good as any Necks album). On The Guardian maybe? Forgot to bookmark.
Even though I feel like BB peaked with the most recent album, I will definitely be buying this set because I'm less familiar with the earliest stuff and also it's really inexpensive

i'm just tired of flipping records every 15 minutes

furry freak homage?

apprehensive about googling "furry freak" at work
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 18 February 2019 19:17 (five years ago) link
it was a countercultural underground comic from the 70s and 80s about three hippie wastoids ... kind of cheech and chong-ish
one of the characters looks like that guy
