whoa that duo set is NOISY at times! very impressive

very sad news....pour some out for a real one...but dying for bad music on FB said Mark Fosson has died :(

aw man, that's a bummer -- he still had plenty of skills. his drag city record from a few years back was fantastic.

For real? He was just at the festival! That sucks so much...

haven't seen it reported but it's Marcus so I'm assuming he knows someone who knows someone

new Sarah Louise coming on Thrill Jockey!

definitely different, hard to categorize, guess her improv set at 1000 Rose was an indication (though this nothing like that)

new William Tyler!

I like, won't change anyone's mind on him (knives out ogmor)

yeah, i like it — makes sense that Frisell apparently guests on one track here, seems like WT could evolve into a Frisell figure (without the jazz bonafides, of course).

yeah I never connected those two

did you ever watch that Frisell documentary? What a nice guy

agreed though that Tyler is great but Frisell is really operating on another level

yeah that frisell doc was nice — good to see one of those docs that doesn't leave you depressed! i feel like most musician docs end up bumming me out.

Lotta good stuff rolling out in this territory soon. Look forward to that Sarah Louise, plus the Nathan Bowles trio album. Need to check the Meg Baird+Mary Lattimore too, Meg is a pretty great guitar player and the one track I have heard so far was really cool.

Liking that Sarah Louise a lot, definitely a better fit for her vocals for me than the solo guitar tunes. Really cool.

Can listen to the Baird & Lattimore on the Three Lobed BC site:

Really hitting the spot from the jump.

This is kind of wild, but since I haven't done this kind of thing in a while it is a good reason to do so. I got to sit in with Elkhorn on their tune Lionfish at their recent show I set up in Charlottesville, which was a lot of fun. They have invited a bunch of different folks to do so with them (and some great ones, Willie Lane, Matt Valentine and Pat Gubler, etc.), so very nice of them to throw me into that mix.

Me doing my usual stuff, but it fits in pretty well I think.

radical!

really dig that grandavis!

Thanks for diving in UMS and tylerw, I appreciate it. A sturdy set of chords/riffs to play over, though always interesting to roll with it on the fly. That whole set of tracks is pretty cool, kind of becomes a long drone piece with guests drifting in and out if you listen to the whole thing.

RIP Mr. Jack Rose, gone 9 years today

It's funny how much energy there has been in this post-Fahey diaspora but the guy that in many ways started the resurgence is a ghost....

Indeed. Glad we have the recordings to revisit, as they are still rich as hell. To the point:

lots of awesome live stuff on youtube

was just jamming the black dirt sessions over the weekend — it's really fortunate that he did so much in such a short span of time. always finding new favorites.

slightly related — i saw glenn jones last week in denver (glenn's first time playing here!). really wonderful — only complaint is that he could've played twice as long ...

Rest up, big fella.

glenn is always amazing, though perhaps too mild mannered and nice to be fahey's true heir lol

haha yeah.
i'm also considering going to see the windham hill 30th anniversary winter solstice concert in boulder next week, which feels like it could be either a step in the right direction for my life or a step in the wrong direction.

haha dooo iiiitttt

Tyler...Windham Hill has been there your whole life, just waiting for you to arrive

Ackerman probably still brings the heat, right?

he'll spit a hot 16 for sure

I was literally just joking that I made a new age record (well, a bunch of tracks that sound like it that COULD be an album). Still waiting to see which direction (right or wrong) this will be hah hah.

I would love to have seen what Jack would have made of the new players. big trees fall and saplings get a shot at making it to the canopy, and just as I don't think he wld have been impertinent enough to adopt his Dr Ragtime shteez while Fahey was still alive, had Jack lived longer his mere presence in the landscape might have spared us D. Bachman's whole career

wld kill for at least one full album from the Rose & Jones duo, they brought out the best in each other

Agreed, I wish Jack had been able to carry on, and would have loved to have heard more Jack and Glenn records.

As far as the rest, all it takes to be spared the players popping up in his wake is ignoring them. Glad I don't make this choice, as I still get a lot of the players he inspired, but obviously this is a line you ride and I appreciate it. Gotta keep us honest!

new age is hot right now, especially if it has balearic vibes

I recently tried and failed to tune my guitar to a traditional Portuguese tuning (need to check later what it actually became) after visiting the country recently.
Starting to have fun playing again! I'd cooled off a bit due to other distractions.

what's the trad portuguese tuning? i need a new tuning to fool around with.

No balearic vibes to be found, just my usual styles/approach provided severe limitations and transported to a few new instruments. Also lets be clear, my music is never going to be hot (which is fine by me).

yeah would be interested in hearing/learning more about this tuning....

Balearic is like neoliberalism I've been pretending I know what I means for years but I really don't
I think it's like...Dire Straits but more tropical and dance music? I dunno

Rather than "traditional" it's better described as the tuning for the Portuguese guitar, which is a unique instrument and very beautiful. I tried a whole bunch of them out in a store in Porto.

I believe I got the tuning here: http://www.fernandezmusic.com/PortugueseGuitarMethod.html

I ended up not following it perfectly!

xps

I'm not going to pretend I know what anything vaguely defined really means. I envy people that do.

However I feel like I could point out a Balear in a crowd.

What I think is balearic music is the specialty of this store: https://shop.commendnyc.com/collections/vinyl

xpost - thanks! i'm gonna get super balaeric tonight in portuguese tuning

i didn't know the portuguese guitar was a thing, how big is it? I can't tell if it's small like a mandolin or balalaika

It's basically reg western guitar size! Neck is a little shorter.

(ultra dubie)

Better get those advance tickets now

Hah hah. That is great.

sandy bull...john fahey...the ultra dubie brothers
