yep it was David Lacey. I was there too! and it was amazing alright. Hi monti!

Awesome -- the Cosmos accompanying him on the whole tour, I hope.

Apparently Chasny is playing in Elisa Ambrogio's band opening for Xylouris White tonight. Really good show getting better.

New Chuck Johnson full band album available for streaming here, with a good interview/overview of the record:
http://adhoc.fm/post/chuck-johnson-interview/
Liking the first track the least, and the pedal-steel/synth inflected stuff the best so far, but only about halfway through. Nice loose feel to it though, and definitely bits of his past in this here and there (Shark Quest in particular).

the most bummer part of when soundcloud goes down is not getting marcus's DFBM soundcloud round-up mixes, he finds so much cools stuff

holy crap xylouris white.
there were a ton of like greek guido dudes in the audience who sang along with a bunch of the songs, to the point where gx engaged them in call-and-response thing for a while. it was super fun and watching those guys play together is a joy. dude is obviously a ridiculously talented player and jim white remains jim white. my wife compared his playing to a less frantic milford graves which i thought was interesting.
elisa ambrogio + chasny + violinist + drummer was great too, worth the price of admission alone. great new song, weird jangly arrangements of songs from the solo lp, one mega noise jam.
seemed like the kind of show the nyctaper guys would record, if it gets posted i highly recommend it.
― adam, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 13:11 (eight years ago) link
yeah there was a heavy greek contingent at the show i saw last year -- maybe every greek person in Denver was there. I think the name "Xylouris" carries some serious weight in the community.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 17 February 2016 15:38 (eight years ago) link
and speaking of the greeks! this compilation, which just came out, is incredible. some stuff on there that would make albert ayler shake his head in wonder. http://41.media.tumblr.com/8404eca4f48461cc74cf4a5cf868c519/tumblr_o2fxmjogsf1qzy30io1_1280.jpg

hey i just ordered that! did we read the same aquarium drunkard interview with the compiler? dude also involved in recording recent stuff that's pretty good:

yeah, that interview is great -- I actually wrote up those field recordings for AD last year (http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2015/05/27/going-greek-field-recordings-from-epirus-2014/). pretty much everything Chris King puts together seems to be amazing. The Alexis Zoumbas disc is incredible.

My Gimmer Nicholson LP arrived today and wow, have I ever fallen in love with this record. I liked it right away, but the more I listen, the more I love it. Vinyl sounds great, too.
― Wimmels, Tuesday, 23 February 2016 01:10 (eight years ago) link
I was looking for this in the shop over the weekend. Apparently the release was delayed, so they didn't have it now I don't have it :(
― Evan, Tuesday, 23 February 2016 03:34 (eight years ago) link
a little late to the party here but this gimmer nicholson album is so incredible
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 25 February 2016 03:03 (eight years ago) link
Yeah man, REALLY glad I bought that Gimmer album. It will tide me over as my go-to guitar album until the new Glenn Jones comes out.

Also, new Forsyth & Solar Motel Band has me more psyched for that upcoming record. Had cooled on them a bit (two of the original members no longer being in the band being part of the reason) but I really like this one. Moodier and less showy, just lots of tasteful playing and nice chords etc. Sounds like 70's Dead at times (to me at least, some pretty clear nods though), but don't let that turn you off hah hah:

unless that writeup is erroneous seems steven urgo still plays on the record? that's great, he's so good
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 25 February 2016 15:27 (eight years ago) link
yeah he's on the new one, but there's a new drummer with the band now... he goes out on a high note -- some great playing on there.

digging the walker/rumback tune. between this and xylouris white last week--what are some really good records that highlight expressive drumming/guitar interplay like this?
― adam, Thursday, 25 February 2016 15:49 (eight years ago) link
you checked out 75 Dollar Bill yet? they are amazing. try Wooden Bag (which is all duo stuff). https://75dollarbill.bandcamp.com/

Also, make sure you record that La Lechera! I would love to hear it.

cool...
btw there's a new reissue of Avocet by Bert Jansch, 79 album I'd not heard
wow, to me it's on the level of Gimmer Nicholson (not in that it's at all similar stylistically) in terms of you gotta hear this...it's him, a guy on mandacello and some other string instruments and the ever awesome danny thompson on drums...very loose exploratory jammy feel...best way i could describe it is imagine the band from Astral Weeks exploring more celtic music territory without a singer...but yeah if you love Jansch/Pentangle/etc this is a must-hear....
I'd imagine 79 was a real low ebb in terms of Jansch's fashionability so maybe that's why i've never heard it
just gorgeous music....again not similar stylistically but if you dug born with a caul era cian nugent youd'd dig this
― robbie ca$hflo (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 14:37 (eight years ago) link
a little talk on the jansch thread about it, really great record.
― adam, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 14:45 (eight years ago) link
the title track is a mega jam
you had me until "celtic music"

yeah, i love avocet so much - here's my little write-up, plus a sample: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/02/22/bert-jansch-avocet/probably wouldn't have been the soundest commercial decision, but i feel like jansch could've just kept making records like this for the remainder of his career. and since i'm plugging AD stuff, here's my write-up of various Solar Motel goings ons: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/03/01/checking-back-into-the-solar-motel-chris-forsyth-the-solar-motel-band-sunwatchers-nick-millevoi/

I had my first proper listen to Avocet last night and was similarly blown away. I think it tails off into abstraction after the title track, but bloody hell, what a track.
― Poacher (Chinaski), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 15:21 (eight years ago) link
Beyond the title track, "Kingfisher" is a favorite for mewww.youtube.com/watch?v=IVsJhBtr32E
