Beyond the title track, "Kingfisher" is a favorite for me

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?

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:

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.

Poacher (Chinaski), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 16:53 (eight years ago) link

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 ;_;

robbie ca$hflo (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 17:10 (eight years ago) link

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.

ulysses, Tuesday, 1 March 2016 17:27 (eight years ago) link

anyone heard of these instruments?? this rules

La Lechuza (La Lechera), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 23:41 (eight years ago) link

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

La Lechuza (La Lechera), Tuesday, 1 March 2016 23:42 (eight years ago) link

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

Wow that is great!
Also late period nnck/cul de sac/noise noodling Fahey kinda means we can justify about anything tbh :)

grandavis, Wednesday, 2 March 2016 21:15 (eight years ago) link

xp - thanks for listening! more shows more shows more shows.

La Lechuza (La Lechera), Wednesday, 2 March 2016 21:41 (eight years ago) link

Got blazed and listened to Avocet tonight. Nice record, though I'm not sure I love it as much as you guys (yet?). I realize I'm probably not as intimately familiar with Jansch's solo career as some of you, but this one definitely feels like an anomaly to me, what with the chorus effects on the guitar and that one (vibe-destroying) solo piano track (I also could have done without the flutes, but that's a personal bias!). It's a record I will definitely be going back to, as there are some really nice tunes (the aforementioned "Kingfisher," "Kittiwake") and some little corners my ears need to further explore; you'll notice upthread I wasn't immediately sold on Gimmer, either, and now I'm playing it every day. This one feels like a grower, too.
