haha, you're welcome. it's basically like an extension of the weirdo remix thing at the end of the new album.

ps tylerw still mad at whatever you had for dinner that kept you from the hex show
― love mike love (ko komo) (schlump), Friday, 6 December 2013 18:22 (ten years ago) link
i'm still mad too. i'm going to make up for it -- they're playing next week. holiday party with the hex!
― tylerw, Friday, 6 December 2013 18:23 (ten years ago) link
oh killer! forgiveness is in sight.i still find it hard living in a universe without periodic-frequency hex records, some kind of scheduled howling hex party would probably make up for this. lemme know what it's like.
― love mike love (ko komo) (schlump), Friday, 6 December 2013 18:26 (ten years ago) link
what did you think of the smog show btw? i felt less uniformly positive seeing him this time, maybe just compared to everybody else's matt-kinsey-shredding-effusiveness.
― love mike love (ko komo) (schlump), Friday, 6 December 2013 18:27 (ten years ago) link
it was great, though not as good as the last time -- i think my expectations were too high this time around! no real complaints about it (aside from the early start time!), just not as revelatory as the apocalypse tour.
― tylerw, Friday, 6 December 2013 18:48 (ten years ago) link
yeah. same i think. i feel like how elemental the last one was really fit with just like what the function of deep voiced bill callahan was. it's sorta harder to get that when it's interspersed with more like shredding & ornate instrumentation for me. but yeah. good times.
― love mike love (ko komo) (schlump), Friday, 6 December 2013 18:50 (ten years ago) link
I hadn't heard any of this aside from the Jefferson Airplane number, but it's worth a listen. Sort of what I'd expect a NMH mix tape to sound like after following the Howling Hex the past few years.http://kitrecords.com/guest-mix-neil-hagerty/
― Mike Dixn, Sunday, 15 December 2013 17:31 (ten years ago) link
yeah that mix is pretty interesting! show on saturday was great -- it is weird, i really do think they come across better live than on record, not sure why exactly. same general approach and rhythm section, but hagerty had switched up the guitar action a bit, heavy on the wah pedal now. wish it had been twice as long.

the hagerty-toth band LP coming out on three lobed soon is KILLER.

oh yeah? what's it like? i am kinda phobic of RANGDA-wave wailing combo groups
― tender is the late-night daypart (schlump), Wednesday, 1 April 2015 23:26 (nine years ago) link
man I really wish people wouldn't give that guy (toth) any props here, his posting history is stuffed full of reasons to ignore/ridicule him
― sleeve, Thursday, 2 April 2015 00:33 (nine years ago) link
toth posts here? ha, i did not know...man i think i love RANGDA-wave wailing combo groups but this isn't really like that. it's pretty song-based actually. some oddball boogie, some weirdo sidetrips, new age mutterings. 18+ minute title track is super trippy.
― tylerw, Thursday, 2 April 2015 19:25 (nine years ago) link
Hagerty-Toth LP is wonderful. Bright weirdo jams; get some Television/Dead vibes. That guitar line on Sunset Dust is burnt into my mind. The interludes remind me of Joe Frank.
Streaming on the bandcamp and there are a few copies left in the Wooden Wand bigcartel.
― Tomás Piñon (Ryan), Sunday, 19 April 2015 05:02 (nine years ago) link
the track included w the Pfork review is great! After the letdown of Earth Junk I haven't been paying much attention, but this seems like promising

so cute that the guy who started this thread is now collaborating with hagerty.

i think he had some libertarian tendencies. don't remember specifics.

this is a weird thread altho he's not entirely wrong about Kerry, who was a terrible candidate and m/l loathsome: Because why not: Roger Fidelity's own election day thread, one to the public

I vaguely remember people accusing him of being racist but when I search I only find people calling him racist but not what instigated those remarks.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 29 April 2015 16:41 (nine years ago) link
I agreed with him on this one!"Continuing coverage of the death of Anna Nicole Smith"
he was a weird poster. The Ann Coulter fandom is inexplicable. otoh there are plenty of jerks with tastes I don't share who made/make great music so who cares, basically

Anyone plan on catching Hagerty on tour? Starts up May 1 in LA with Follakzoid. There's a flyer for a May 10 date in Seattle at the Black Lodge, but it looks like it was pulled off the site, though that may be because it's a DIY space.

NMH is pretty great on Twitter.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 29 April 2015 16:51 (nine years ago) link
haha, yeah he is pleasingly random on there. go see him if you have the chance! as you'll see in this thread, i've loved his live show for the past few years (though i have no idea what his current show/material is).
― tylerw, Wednesday, 29 April 2015 17:00 (nine years ago) link
wow! he is playing my town, I will totally go see NMH. this is the most I have ever seen him tour afaict.

Cancelled Seattle show. Some sort of beef with the promoter; saw Hagerty getting pretty livid with some folks. Super bummer.

Saw the show on Friday in Portland. It was pretty great. Seemed kind of like a mix of the polka stuff that he had been doing with the Hagerty-Toth Band stuff. Rambling spoken interludes. Tiny drum sound. His dizzying, hypnotic guitar work. Very happy I went. Haven't ever seen his solo live show before.
