C/D Charalambides

Scorces (Christina and Heather from Ch.) are great too, anyone else heard 'em?

psssssst...hstencil, thats you!

how is market square? do you have that harmony of spheres, drunken fish box, it's pretty great!

Did you know that they've signed to Kranky?

(and ddb, are you going to see Coptic Light tonight?)

i can supply a copy of Union - pref. in trade for a copy of S/T, Slate Branches, Home, or Carter's 'Monument.' contact offline.

any other shows of note coming up?

Not anything else I know of this weekend, but next week there's the Panthers/Debut Battles show on Thursday (the latter is Ian Williams from Don Cab's new band), then Arthur Lee/Love on Friday. I think Test is playing the Sunday before Xmas too, I'll probably go to that. I feel like I'm forgetting something...

Your pals Black Dice at ze Swiss-beats Institut (fur Motoriken)?

How about giving novices a li'l guide as to which $60 OOP Chalarmbides disc we wanna buy off eBay?

Can't stop the Poodles.

Like the early records best, _Market Square_, _Historic 6th Ward_ or _Our Bed Is Green_, before they found their now signature sound.

i fear that i'm going to spend too much money ordering things from eclipse tonight if i get more drunk (doesn't this belong in another thread??) ooooh lord. but i have mp3s of nearly everything, or i can get them.. so i can hold off on getting vinyl copies of things, but there's always the problem of the vinyl copies disappeaaring.

Ian I was at that show, too. Didn't think Scorces were as good as times I'd seen 'em previously, but if was your first time seein' 'em, they weren't so bad (Jackie-O made me leave).

Destroy the earlier stuff - Ash Castles, s/t CDr, etc - though 'destroy' is harsh - I LOVED them at the time, but they've come so far since then. Plus there's a really embarrassing pop song on on eof those that rips the Godz's "Ruby Red" note for note

Destroy Ash Castles on the Ghost Coast, for the most part. Zzzzzzzzz...

How much are Mike Gunn records going for these days?

Hey, you're mean.

Not out until May. Has it leaked or have you heard it?

All of the reviews I've read allude to screaming vocals from Christina, which could be either really good or really bad. Does it sound cheesy or contrived, as sometimes these things do?

(still haven't listened to it.)

otherwise, eclipse it is. rahr

Does "massdist" just mean Colin Langenus in some form? I know that is his label/email/twitter whatever, but dude is in like 5 bands. Which one is playing?

i think it's the Colin L Orchestra.

Col L. Orchestra is my favorite of his current bands, good deal.

Will be onstage tonight at 8:30.

someone post how it was if attending.

i really want to go to this but i have to do my radio show :(

i initially thought the show was friday -- friday was just the first night of the two day event

So there are at least two fundraising comps for Tom now kicking around:

And on top of those earlier ones! United Bible Studies have just released a massive tribute benefit comp:

Ninety-nine performers. Go nuts.

wow, I will buy that as soon as I get home, thanks Ned

whoah. that line-up gives me excellent terrastock flashbacks

tom's new one numinal entry is lovely

Man Tom has been on a crazy roll this year. I cannot wait to hear that new solo LP.

This Tom Carter + Helena Espvall collaboration is so, so good.

Tom Carter totally opening up a universe of sound both solo + in a trio with Chris Corsano (!!!) and Carter Thornton here:

I mean Tom's new record on Three Lobed is heavy as hell and just gorgeous, but live he is just knocking it out of the park these days.

Man, Tom's solo set is so good. Damn:

picked up two vinyl reissues of 2007 cd-rs of 90s material at the (mind boggling) show last night--glowing raw and strangle the wretched heavens, on drawing room records. very attractive, sound great so far.

those are both great, I have the CDr versions. Emerald Message is v good as well imo.

is there a tour or was this a one-off show?

just a one off for now looks like. tom playing a couple dates soon, another in nyc and one in MA

Hope someone recorded that Charalambides show, would love to hear it.

looks like they're playing at the Empty Bottle in Chicago and with The Renderers in LA later this summer! too far away but jeez.

Seen this on Twitter a couple of times recently - new Bandcamp page https://charalambides.bandcamp.com/releases

huh all I see there at the moment is one album? would love to hear the earlier batch of CDRs, I don't know some of them

Aye. Assume they'll gradually populate it? Hope so.

The Charalambides page only went online two days ago or so; Tom has been gradually populating his own Bandcamp page for a while now, so yes, there'll be more.

excellent news

four more albums up now, just in time for the Bandcamp sale!

oh hey cool, vinyl versions of some CDRs - I really liked these two in particular

Tom Carter has launched a yearly subscription

https://tomcarterguitar.bandcamp.com/subscribe

oh my god

https://charalambides.bandcamp.com/album/charalambides-tom-and-christina-carter

What you do for money, what you do for rent _ take a look inside, are you all that’s spent

xpost Marvelous album, already gave it an ear.

tom carter subscription is a good time (though not the sheer onslaught of music that is the kevin drumm subscription)

Cor! And they're playing Cafe Oto in November...

Oh man I hope I get to catch a date on this tour. Playing with Loren Connors in NYC, but unfortunately do not think I am gonna get to that one.

aw man, no West coast dates at all.

Tom Carter subscription essential for anyone that bookmarks this thread. The recent track with Susan Alcorn is great.

yes! i would listen to a quadruple lp of that vibe

Burner of a solo show from Tom last night at Union Pool in Brooklyn. There's an instagram video at https://www.instagram.com/p/BnEODCnFNSQ/

Tom is operating on a very high level solo right now. I can't even really tell how he does it, just masterful tone wrangling.

yeah it's the tone, I agree but can't explain it any better than you.

I really need that double LP from a few years back

It is a wonderful record. I just jammed it a couple of weeks ago.

Just discovered them live at their gig last night, truly remarkable music. got their last record, Exile, Tom seems like a real nice dude.

They used to be three?

They've just been a duo for a while now, since A Vintage Burden or even earlier. Exile is amazing, enjoy.

probably my favorite band of the 2000s

Their new album is in the mail to me right now, can't wait. I just got the Bandcamp download today, so I get to listen tonight.

missed the nyc show last weekend but am ready for the new record. i sprung for the bonus cassette too

looks like the cassette is not included in the download, fwiw. listening for the first time now, about to get on the living room couch and give it my full attention.

This is wonderfully mellow so far.

agreed except i just listened to side B at 78rpm accidentally and i thought dang this is wild
