If you are remote the entire day’s performances will be simulcast on WXDU using a special live feed from NYCTaper‘s Jonas Blank.

cool, maybe these sets will show up on the NYCTaper site?

usually some of 'em (though not all of 'em) show up on NYC Taper

tylerw, Friday, 7 September 2018 14:53 (five years ago) link

My guess is some performers are cool with it and some maybe aren't, but its a bummer they don't all end up there. Regardless, I hope to catch most of this live if I can.

I have made it to a couple of these, it is a good time. Pretty low key and of course the line-up is usually stacked. And added bonus of it being free, which is crazy.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 15:02 (five years ago) link

As UMS noted! (being free that is)

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 16:09 (five years ago) link

Seems like Bachman has a crew there! Not sure who is playing with him, but lots of bells/noisemakers starting this thing off.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 16:09 (five years ago) link

About 10 minutes in and no guitars hah hah. Going full Pelt.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 16:15 (five years ago) link

yeah this is so great...dronetastic

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 16:38 (five years ago) link

Two members of the current Mind Over Mirrors crew apparently (Jamie Fennely himself and Jim Becker of Califone/MoM live ensemble). Also Forrest Marquise, who plays the octotone and other instruments on the last couple of records. Indeed, droney as hell. For those who didn't tune in, it was a single long piece with constant drones going and a lengthy Daniel guitar passage in the middle. Good afternoon listening for sure.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 16:47 (five years ago) link

Pretty sure it was "Invocation" from the new album stretched out to twice as long

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 17:15 (five years ago) link

mary lattimore + mac maccaughn doing some kinda alice coltrane meditation currently

tylerw, Friday, 7 September 2018 17:30 (five years ago) link

this is super awesome

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 17:33 (five years ago) link

love that between sets they switch to roots reggae :)

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 17:35 (five years ago) link

it's actually kinda helpful -- i've tuned in during past years' shows and thought i was listening to a live performance only to realize it was like Dopesmoker or something.

tylerw, Friday, 7 September 2018 17:38 (five years ago) link

haha yeah this keeps a nice stoner mellow vibe but it's distinct

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 17:39 (five years ago) link

haha yeah

btw, the nyc taper archives for this annual event go deep: http://www.nyctaper.com/tag/wxdu/

tylerw, Friday, 7 September 2018 17:42 (five years ago) link

i think this is a dub instrumental version of "black starliner" by culture?

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 18:28 (five years ago) link

Hah the Sleep excerpts keep popping up as well. I prefer the dub/roots, but I mean it all works in its own way.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 18:31 (five years ago) link

meg baird is so good

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 19:14 (five years ago) link

Yeah that was a great set.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 19:35 (five years ago) link

Is Matt Valentine actually stoned all the time, or has he just perfected sounding that way?

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 19:46 (five years ago) link

hahaha I believe the former

sleeve, Friday, 7 September 2018 19:47 (five years ago) link

I mean it isn't a judgment, just an observation

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 20:09 (five years ago) link

had a lame meeting for the past 2 hours ... had to miss baird and wet tuna booooooo

tylerw, Friday, 7 September 2018 20:37 (five years ago) link

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 20:42 (five years ago) link

discovered Ignatz today and it was just what i needed. Specifically the LP "I Live in a Utopia" but I'm deffo checking out others

rip van wanko, Friday, 21 September 2018 19:53 (five years ago) link

oh yeah that's some good shit, I got to see him on that 2008 Terrastock tour

sleeve, Friday, 21 September 2018 20:00 (five years ago) link

three weeks pass...

ok so it's definitely not exclusively guitar music, but this is where tashi dorji fans might gather right?

last night i went to the record release show for Kuzu and wowee zowee did they rip. recommended if you like powerhouse supergroups like rangda but think maybe they have gotten a bit dull

tylerw, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 21:33 (five years ago) link

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Wednesday, 17 October 2018 21:40 (five years ago) link

i think he's just playing solo? but I'm not sure. it's free! everyone should come out to boulder for it, I've got a guest room.

tylerw, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 22:07 (five years ago) link

psyched to see this:

tylerw, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 22:33 (five years ago) link

is that being released somewhere?

Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 22:48 (five years ago) link

i'm not sure! a friend of mine saw some of this footage at a festival a little while ago, so it all exists in some kind of presentable form ...

tylerw, Wednesday, 17 October 2018 22:55 (five years ago) link

From what I could follow it seems like there was an Indiegogo for putting together a documentary about it/about the group of people that put it on/plus selected footage from the fest. It seems somehow related to Fat Possum but I’m not 100% sure?
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-blues-society-a-documentary-film#/

There is also this other narrative that I remember coming from Gene Rosenthal where he apparently had a TV broadcast crew out there and filmed the entire thing—but is either apprehensive about releasing it, or wants to release it but is holding it back for some reason. I’m not sure what the story was but it always came across as slight bragging about owning the footage but not willing to confirm that the project will finish anytime soon.

Not sure if there’s been further talk from Gene because a couple months after going to 1000 Rose, I eventually unfriended or unfollowed him so I didn’t have to keep seeing all that toxic-talk happening almost daily, lol. It was nice for a while just for the novel wtf factor but… I don’t know, it’s too much.

Neal Cassady, Friday, 19 October 2018 14:31 (five years ago) link

haha yeah I mean I knew of Adelphi but my first and only impression of him was when he got booted for being such a childish dickhead during the roundtable discussion at 1000 Rose so yeah I don't really get what his deal is

I really actually fucking hate that whole old school collector mentality where it's like they feel like they own the fucking music because they have all these artifacts and shit they hoard

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 19 October 2018 15:35 (five years ago) link

anyone read that White Tears book from last year? I didn't think it was particularly great, but it did deal with some of that overall mentality.

seriously this behavior is unbecoming at best and not to be allowed when it's anything like the loud verbal abuse that was described upthread at that festival. these people are probably also total misogynists? just a guess?

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 19 October 2018 16:47 (five years ago) link

maybe some are merely partial misogynists

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 19 October 2018 16:47 (five years ago) link

attention needy too? shocking!
he releases it and no one tolerates him anymore

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 19 October 2018 16:49 (five years ago) link

yeah it think it's a mix of elitism, misogyny and fundamentally being super weird & wound-up, esp because they'd actually done a good job of getting a diverse panel and after one of the women asked him to stop at least glenn jones had him kicked out and removed from the room....coley said they'd actually intended to have an open mic for audience questions but pulled it at the last minute because they knew he would get up there and filibuster whatever weird ideas he has about "real" american primitive

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 19 October 2018 17:13 (five years ago) link

yuck
create a schism and leave that guy behind imo
again, glenn jones super otm

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 19 October 2018 17:16 (five years ago) link

any relation to Josh?

sleeve, Friday, 19 October 2018 17:32 (five years ago) link
