Ideas of Beginnings by Mark McGuire

Old news but I finally got around to listening to this whole album from 2017. I really like it: good mix of fingerpicked acoustic material and what sounds like delayed ringing electric stuff.

lost genius with a 1984 album on kicking mule, still active as of 2012

bought one of the last copies of Powers/Rolin Duo....this is a seriously blissed out ride, one of the best things in this kinda genre I've heard for a while...get it before it's gone

https://feedingtuberecords.com/releases/powers-rolin-duo/

(believe it's been mentioned upthread but wanted to include link - i got mine from rolin himself so track him down on twitter if you can't get it from feeding tube)

I love it

This Powers/Rolin is killing me right now. Thanks for the recommendation.

thanks for turning me on to Sam Weis by the way; I don't care for the vocals but the guitar is outrageous.

i think she pivoted to more singer songwritery stuff like a lot of folks in the late 70s/80s... the album 'hologram' is all instrumental and what i have. surely in a bargain bin somewhere near you! my copy was even still sealed :(

did you get that at homestead pickin' parlor? feels like something that would be there

yep, i've found a ton of great stuff there, including this, got it on cover alone and was rewarded. and no, it's not called 'kick ass guitar'

You know a record didn't sell as well as hoped when the promo copies are about as common as the retail copies. Seems that was the case with just about all of these early Embryo releases.

lol that is so otm re: promo copies

Whoa that Sandy Nassan shit is wild, I am into it. Hyper-strumming is kind of a fascination, and not that many people do it very often. Into it.

Did I note that I was into it ....

the first track is far and away the best bit of it. i love his vocalizations and sighs throughout

Holy fuck

i saw someone on rym compare this to bill orcutt and i get that but this sounds like something different to me

that shit is like acoustic metal. holy fucking hell.

I found it all enjoyable enough, but yeah that first track (and some of the stuff towards the end of the record) was pretty "out" in a way I enjoyed. I definitely get the Orcutt comparison, while of course not being a direct one, but the energy and ability to ride the line of feeling ready to go out of control but never quite going all the way there. Pretty fun for a solo guitar record.

yeah, this is badass.

hearing some richard bishop in the first track for sure

yeah was gonna say reminds me more of bishop's middle eastern surf guitarism than orcutt

which hits my sweet spot squarely. i like his "breathers".

Ah yeah Sir Richard is a good comparison!

a quick youtube search shows a whole playlist of sandy nassan songs "from a cassette tape given to me in 1979 in Cincinnati, OH" here:

digging this take on "in my life"

BTW, I liked that Sam Weis track enough to pull every instrumental of hers available on Spotify for a playlist. It's good listening.

oh nice! i didn't think she would be on there. i'm planning on digitizing the LP i have sometime soon

lemme know; would love to hear more!

for all you fingerpickers with deep pockets!

Been anticipating this for a while - Matt Sowell - Organize or Die on Feeding Tube

Matt is Philly (knew Jack Rose) now Minneapolis. Great guy, played at 1000 Incarnations Fest. Global and I did a improv trio with him once and we did shows together.

Anyway, for capital-A, capital-P American Primitive I think this will be one of the best this year.

His ability is tremendous and I think his newer songs have really taken a big step forward.

Super excited to announce a livestream release show, one week from today, with some very special friends @cirrus_oxide , @SarahLouisemusi and @spiralgalaxies , over on @thrilljockey instagram live. pic.twitter.com/wRi7gvzYMd

Robbie Basho - Selections from Song of the Avatars : The Lost Master Tapes - Vinyl LP Exclusively Available at Independent Record Stores for Record Store Day (Drop #2), September 26th

Robbie Basho (1940-1986) is widely regarded as one of the progenitors of what's commonly known today as American Primitive guitar. Growing up in Maryland alongside neo-traditional guitar explorers John Fahey and Max Ochs, Basho's path would take a decidedly different turn, bringing Hindi, Indian, Japanese and Native American musical traditions into his work. His albums for Takoma and Vanguard have left an indelible trail of influence across generations of musicians, from William Ackerman and Pete Townshend to Ben Chasny and William Tyler.

Liam Barker first became aware of Basho having purchased Tompkins Square's reissue of Venus in Cancer, released in 2006. This led him on an incredible fact-finding expedition, unraveling the many layers of mystery surrounding Basho's life and death, all deftly compiled and depicted in his documentary film, Voice of the Eagle : The Enigma of Robbie Basho.

During the research process, Barker came across a large cache of unheard Basho tapes recorded throughout his career, ranging roughly from 1965-1985. By arrangement with Basho's Estate and the original custodians of the tapes, Tompkins Square is set to release Song of the Avatars : The Lost Master Tapes, a 5CD set of previously unreleased material, on December 4th, 2020. The set includes notes by Barker, Henry Kaiser, Steffen Basho-Junghans, Glenn Jones and Richard Osborn, as well as many unseen photographs.

Selections from Song of the Avatars : The Lost Master Tapes vinyl LP will be exclusively available at independent record stores worldwide on September 26th. The best way to obtain a copy is to ask your favorite record store in advance if they plan to carry the set.

oh wow

midway through this album and it seems to fit the bill. nice artwork too:

Just bought Useful Histories. I'm liking this a lot. The long drone in "I Am John Titor" is fantastic.

thank you! that's mostly an electro harmonix freeze pedal and some manual processing with some other cheap fx pedals

^track from that new basho box set

I think youtube was down for a bit tonight, I uploaded this a couple hours ago but seems to be playing fine for me now. Anyway, I have been thinking about this live Bachman boot since I heard it in 2010, I think this Shea Stadium recording one of the first things NPR featured of his. I'd never had any luck trying to track it down again, whenever I would go to google to find it. Had a bit of a break last night though when combing through the venue's archive on soundcloud.

Maybe it's just the one-off quality of what he did here or it's the slight personal connection I have with it, I'm not sure... but it is good and interesting regardless. It was a couple months later that I was at his apt and we were having a convo about how good the recently released (at the time) Gunn-Truscinski "Sand City" album was. I think I had brought up how I heard this live recording of his and how nice the sound was with the drums. There was something about it he didn't think was working... the overlap in approach to what Gunn-Truscinski were doing, the odd vocal technique of wearing a ring of contact (?) mics around his neck, I can't remember all the details. Whatever the case I still wish he had done more in this direction. His electric playing is really nice whenever you come across it. We were also both big into the first Teeth Mountain LP at the time, something about this recording reminds me of that as well.

pretty excited

with ogmor was here to diss wm tyler :(

nice, haven't heard that bachman! his upcoming three lobed double lp is HEAVY.

anderson / tyler duo is an interesting idea — kinda different players, but I'm sure they've figured out something cool.

New Nick Jonah Davies is really nice: https://nickjonahdavis.bandcamp.com/album/when-the-sun-came
