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

the Jim White/Nina Nastasia record is absolutely classic, he's pretty busy on that but it works

Nice series of improvs at sunrise and sunset by Toby Hay as part of "inhabiting our current moment in time / history":

First two installments are very nice. Really like his playing a lot.

tom carter is doing an instagram live set right now
@tubbyskingston

not sure where else to post this, but that new jim elkington arrived in the mail the other day and it's not anything except wonderful. i love him ever so much.

oh nice i was excited for that but I forget so much stuff that I was thinking about prior to lockdown

Steve Palmer's on this thread, right? Because "Statesboro Day" is absolutely one of my favorite songs of the year. nice work!

yeah I'm digging that Steve Palmer record

new live xylouris white -- haven't listened yet but the last time i saw them was so great, would gladly relive in recorded form!!!

nice! and xylouris white ringtone too! https://xylouriswhiteshop.bandcamp.com/track/xylouris-white-ringtone

bahaha I love it

Is really cool to see Global/Steve's record get a lot of reviews and spins on radio shows. Well deserved, just a great record all around.

Rhizome in DC is doing a live-stream "show" consisting of sets from Rob Noyes and Eli Winter coming up soon. Not a bad way to spend a quarantine evening. Watching Rob do what he does is a treat, he is a very active player.

Just came to post this, looks awesome

Rob is amazing urge ppl to check him out

kendra amalie and oscar tengo (aka matt b) on may 4th too. excited to see it, i know matt has some tricks up his sleeve and he's been playing better than ever

oh, and thanks all, missed those comments above! glad people are enjoying it

Tim Stine Trio, Fresh Demons: acoustic guitar (TS), upright bass (Anton Hatwich), drum kit(Frank Rosaly), all tending to lower-range, earthy, perky sounds, very well recorded, reminding me of McLaughlin's Extrapolation minus the sax, which isn't missed. Well, maybe they could use a little more instigation: I started out indifferent to the soon-predictable approach--then got hooked midway, as details seemed to open up more, climbing and rolling, moment to moment. I think, especially now that I know this set gets better , that the prelims will grow on me. 37 minuted, 37 seconds seems right: it's tight.
Excerpts from press sheet:
Frank Rosaly...functions like a third melodic voice throughout the album, and takes every opportunity to add sounds and surprises to each track. Anton Hatwich works with and against Stine throughout the album, and adds to the overall feel of a chamber trio with each one improvising their own parts in real time.

Fresh Demons follows Knots (2019, Clean Feed) which enlisted Windy City peers Nick Mazzarella, Matt Ulery, and Quin Kirchner. In addition to leading his Trio and Quartet, Stine has played as a leader and sideman in the groups Loris, Stine/Roebke/Reed Trio, Jarod Bufe Quartet and Nick Mazzarella Quintet.

Out on Astral Spirits May 15. For more info, check with cody at clandestinelabelservices dot com.

a track from the Jim White/Marisa Anderson came up in my Spotify Discover yesterday, great stuff and sounds very different guitar-wise from her previous work, louder and more textural

Yeah, looking fwd to that!
xpost Stine *might* be using a pick-up, unobtrusively. As I said, it's all very well-recorded, anyway.

pal and collaborator matt b had a very enjoyable set through rhizome dc last night- saw a couple of you in there:

How did you even find that??

There's an American Primitive Facebook group, all sorts of random people post stuff on it

You guys are slipping. Thought the revive would be about this, which features a lot of the people mentioned in this thread (though, disappointingly, very few of the many women we've discussed here):

might've missed it being mentioned, but both of these new scissor tail cassettes are fantastic:

Talked about in the Garcia ppls thread, someone should let global know haha

Ilx Brigade Mpls represent.

https://variety.com/2020/music/news/minneapolis-george-floyd-benefit-compilation-1234626818/?fbclid=IwAR1ugg6mq2Fwxd9Z3ZMRaU2YlhALFrzaf7XBk_paeOygeteHufNrqWtV2PM

I am just gonna state my opinion here and don't mean to divide us but: in my opinion whether you like Garcia Peoples or not this thread ain't the joint. (But also who gives a shit peace to UMS and Global and all of us). But yeah, go buy that comp UMS posted and otherwise imagine that Garcia Peoples somewhere out there. Neither good nor bad, just out there, and not particularly relevant to this place.

Ehh, what I said above was dumb. I actually don't care which bands/musicians we talk about here as I would prefer people just talk. Garcia Peoples are perfectly fine and they certainly lay out a lot of guitar, which in one way or another is a driving force for the thread. Going to chalk it up to general crankiness. My apologies but of course we are living in thorny times. Jam what you wanna jam.

I'm not too uptight about it but could see the value in jam talk in the GP thread instead of here

I think historically this thread was the place because it was kind of a small group of Ilxors and also a lot of ppl in the scene: Forsyth, Gunn, Walker, Tyler etc were moving out of solo stuff into more jam band or jam adjacent approaches

also back to the comp, so happy to see Keith Lee featured he's gotten so good and isn't known at all, absolutely fantastic guy love him

also Oscar Tengo, Matt is phenomenal

I bought that comp, definitely looking forward to listening to it. Saw Matt do a livestream set a bit ago that was really great, and yeah looks like a lot of cool folks on the comp.

I really was just being a curmudgeon. There is no real need to gatekeep the thread, it generally just goes where it goes and is better for it. I may not personally wanna dive into the GP conversations but that may change at some point. Maybe they will win me over down the line.

Big support and shouts to the Mpls benefit album and everyone on it! Tompkins also released that DFBM-curated entry in the Imaginational Anthem series. Did not expect that at all but it made me smile and now that I think about it, that's something that should've happened years ago.

Also, this is stupid in comparison to what we're all focused on at the moment but I just saw this on TV... my ears perked up and I turned my head to look and literally said "McDonalds?!" out loud.

hahaha whoa!

And you know his order by heart
And you grill his Big Mac to start
Stroll on by with a smile and I'm lovin it

The McLurker (Extended w/ cheese) > Tuning > Space

Hah hah wow, that is pretty amazing.(I am sorry, that song is now forever known as The McLurker, for me at least)

not gonna judge a musician for doing what they gotta in the time of COVID

yeah hope it gives steve a little breathing room!

Oh yeah, zero judgment from me. Licensing is one of the only good ways for a musician to make decent money these days, I hope Steve got a good chunk of change for it. I just love the McLurker joke (I would not call it this anywhere but in my mind, but I will enjoy it when I do)

Haha!

Lol I love Steve (both of them for that matter). My life interests do naturally gravitate me towards keeping a running list of commercials that've used guitar tracks we all know and love. I chose to work in commercial art for a reason so no judgement there. From GHQ cdrs, to the Sundowner LP on Harvest, to the ltd to 25 lathe on Medusa, to commercial licensing--I'm here for the ride and will never step off!

just in general, i love all the back-end, business-type stuff about the music industry.

so in that spirit (no judgment), how much do y'all think that commercial put/will put in SG's pocket?

I remember being surprised by Revolt of the Dyke Brigade by Fahey at the end of Logan Lucky

Ok the new Sarah Louise song is absolutely stunning

I emailed this link to Glenn and he really liked it. Said the guy deserves to have a VDSQ release!

wow let's speak it into existence!

Tbis is probably gonna sound dickish, but I do not click Spotify links. So, anything posted here as such is an idea and nothing else. So, if it truly rules and deserves recognition tell me about it and where else I can find it. No rules and yet, sum dumbasses like me exist ....

Not dickish at all - I'm in the same boat. I've even clicked the links to try to view the tracklists and stuff but I guess you can't even see those without having an account, which I do not.

Well, thanks for indulging me P. Ponzi, but yeah it kinda is. Sheesh, I am an adult I can just google stuff like anyone else. UMS, you rule please don't take that original post as being aimed at you, it is squarely aimed at Spotify generally (still not gonna click a Spotify link, but that is my issue ....)

I am just basically in a bad mood a lot these days, and for some reason decide to post when I am in that mood. Will try not to take it out on this thread, which generally is a place of cool people simply sharing shit they like, which is something to be appreciated. So yeah, I will try to knock it off hah hah.

it's part of this mixtape — https://www.adultswim.com/music/as-stimulus-swim
