Wow! I can hardly bear to imagine what goodies he might be selling. His record collection is going to be something special.
― krakow, Friday, 21 August 2009 20:59 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah no kidding -- sort of curious why he's going the garage sale route? has he never heard of ebay?
― tylerw, Friday, 21 August 2009 21:07 (fourteen years ago) link
going to richard bishops garage sale sounds like much more fun than ebay
"If you want the music to stop, just buy the guitars." lol

I hope there's at least a whole bunch of photos taken.
I also love this wee snippet from the directions on how to get there...
"Sale is in the BACK yard — follow path through bamboo grove."
― krakow, Friday, 21 August 2009 21:21 (fourteen years ago) link
He has a bamboo grove!
I notice he's not selling any LPs, just CD/DVD/tape.

should go really, but it's £9. and a Monday. and he's up against University Challenge.
― gnarly sceptre, Monday, 1 March 2010 18:41 (fourteen years ago) link
I can't answer your qu but I saw him on Saturday and enjoyed it a great deal - played most of 'The Freak of Araby' and two or three old SCG songs, seemed like a really sincere and decent guy to boot

The Glasgow show last week was wonderful, pretty much as per DJ Mencap describes. Varied, charming, fun.

Nice pics! Anyone have any recent live recordings of him?
― tylerw, Monday, 1 March 2010 22:49 (fourteen years ago) link
My only disappointment was that he didn't have any handmade tour cd-rs like he has in days of old. I got a very nice t-shirt though.

new one http://www.unrock.de/sir-richard-bishop-the-unrock-tapes-lp/translated (awesomely) from the German:Bishops capabilities allow various influences come together in his game, could give rise to the absurd impression that it was in his solo work for world music (as we know it). His playing is his fire and his fascination but rather through traditional irreverence. The Spirit of the Sun City Girls pervades the album, even if it is less a musical similarity to disclose this fact, as the approach. Disrespect / Respect, a game of opposites, which is used here by exaggerated wink. Musically, full of allusions to the tradition of Sun City Girls on the one hand, characterized by respect and appreciation congener (Omar Khorshid) on the other. Bishop's stunning guitar work, an Impetuous hybrid that can operate because of its subtle skills almost effortlessly across calls, rightly, a shameless authenticity of which he recognized that history in mind, no one will seriously deny.

Unrock Tapes LP is amazing... It's kind of a ringer since it compiles some of the best CDR-only tracks, but I only had one of the original CDRs so this is almost all new to me.
Last time I went to a February Portland show it was a hellish ice-covered 2-hour drive back home, so I dunno abt the Doug Fir show.
― sleeve, Wednesday, 19 December 2012 18:35 (eleven years ago) link
got a hold of the live freak of araby CDR -- totally great! i love that record. annoyingly it looks as though i may not be able to make it to his denver gig tomorrow night urgggggh.

That's SCG/Sublime Frequencies all over though, isn't it. Driving up the mystique through never acknowledging their sources.

That's SCG/Sublime Frequencies all over though, isn't it.
No. Hisham Mayet was in Brooklyn for a lovely film series centered around Sublime Frequencies movies in March. Very forthcoming and candid about sources, musicians, context of all his movies/recordings. Never felt there was any "intentional mystery"/mystique to SF stuff, unlike the early Mississippi releases.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Thursday, 9 May 2013 04:17 (eleven years ago) link
it's true that some of their releases have decent liner notes. i guess this maybe applies more to some of the earlier releases like princess nicotine (which came out in the 80s right?)
― flesh, the devil, and a wolf (wolf) (amateurist), Thursday, 9 May 2013 06:07 (eleven years ago) link
The original Princess Nicotine was compiled by Alan Bishop and released by Major in 1994. When it was reissued by SF in the 2000s, I believe there were liner notes added but I'm not sure.
― Badmotorfinger Debate Club (MFB), Thursday, 9 May 2013 17:23 (eleven years ago) link
*Majora
the bishops/sublime frequencies can maybe be accused of focusing on the more "exotic/esoteric" side of various cultures, but at the same time, I don't doubt that they know a lot about these various cultures...i mean, they've been actually going to all of these countries for several decades, i'm sure the interest for them isn't just "lol how weird".
