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

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.

Beyond the title track, "Kingfisher" is a favorite for mewww.youtube.com/watch?v=IVsJhBtr32E

Don't let that scare you off I promise, unless like you can't stand Fairport or Pentangle

Avocet is lovely btw; listening now.
― ulysses, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 15:37 (eight years ago) link
still haven't heard the live album Jansch did w/ Jenkins -- maybe it'll be a future reissue? https://cdn.discogs.com/HlNkt8DH64fJZD-GQpwphhMbqYA=/fit-in/600x596/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(96)/discogs-images/R-3612356-1417189962-2862.jpeg.jpg

Psyched that I am getting to play with Sunwatchers next week. Cool band that should translate really well live I imagine. Good write-ups Tyler!
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:05 (eight years ago) link
yeah, that record is extremely fun.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:06 (eight years ago) link
Think it will be a total blast live. That Millevoi track is really nice as well, know him more for his noise/really out solo stuff, but this is just super nice and low key.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:12 (eight years ago) link
yeah the millevoi has a nice classic calexico thing happening, I think.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:15 (eight years ago) link
sunwatchers and nick millevoi are playing on the same bill on sunday but it's the same night charalambides are playing. please advise.
― adam, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:17 (eight years ago) link
Gotta go to Charalambides. There is no question (I mean, you can't really lose, but who knows how many times you will get to see Charalambides ....)
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:22 (eight years ago) link
ha yeah, from what i gather the Charalambides gigs aren't a full-fledged comeback, so who knows when the next chance you'll get to see them will be.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:23 (eight years ago) link
i saw them play 13 or so years ago in donald miller's living room, it was a transformative experience. yall are right.
― adam, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:26 (eight years ago) link
Charalambides would win this no matter who was playing the other show
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:26 (eight years ago) link
Sleeve is correct
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:37 (eight years ago) link
Let us all bask in the glow and majesty of the most recent Charalambides record. I would honestly be cool w/ this tune being played at my funeral:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KuJ_ND6S6A
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:39 (eight years ago) link
I would probably be a blubbering mess by the end of this if I saw it live.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:40 (eight years ago) link
I specifically have that song listed in my funeral instructions
― the 'major tom guy' (sleeve), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:50 (eight years ago) link
Into the Earth is a thing of majesty, but mine would probably have to be Dormant Love.

I didn't mean to embed mine, sorry for the youtube bombing. How the hell do I not embed a youtube again? Had hoped the using the url tags would keep it a url, you know?
Also that Charalambides song does indeed also rule.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 17:06 (eight years ago) link
What grandavis said - I tried not to embed!
And thanks for the Spotify playlist update. The Chuck Johnson tracks are glorious.

forks robbing me of my tastemaker status in the american primitive underground what do i have left ;_;

The playlist is very fond of a 'choogle', innit - it's as much post Neil Young as it is post-Fahey!
― Poacher (Chinaski), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 17:21 (eight years ago) link
that's likely a function of which artists / labels have catalogue on spotify
― ulysses, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 17:27 (eight years ago) link
as per the earlier kerfuffle, i would love to see someone pick up my slack and build soundcloud/youtube playlists as well.
anyone heard of these instruments?? this rules

i don't think the style really fits this thread but you're an open minded bunch

i listened to this -- and I LIKED IT. eno cover really takes off!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 23:43 (eight years ago) link
thanks! i'm glad you liked it! :D i felt like i had just started cookin and then the set was over but i guess it's better to play too little than too much.
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 23:49 (eight years ago) link
