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.

'THE RECORD STORE OF THE MIND' SPOTIFY PLAYLISThttps://player.spotify.com/user/tompkinssquare/playlist/6MNJ5c9qZb0ScEOcsQtXA5
"Josh Rosenthal is a record man's record man. He is also a musician's record man. He is in the line of Samuel Charters and Harry Smith. In this age where we have access to everything and know the value of nothing, musicians need people like Josh to hear them when no one else can." - T Bone Burnett
Grammy-nominated producer and Tompkins Square label founder Josh Rosenthal presents his first book, The Record Store of the Mind. Part memoir, part "music criticism," the author ruminates over unsung musical heroes, reflects on thirty years of toil and fandom in the music business, and shamelessly lists some of the LPs in his record collection. Crackling with insightful untold stories, The Record Store of the Mind will surely delight and inspire passionate music lovers ... especially those who have spent way too many hours in record stores.
Celebrating ten years in 2015, Rosenthal's San Francisco-based independent record label Tompkins Square has received seven Grammy nominations and wide acclaim for its diverse catalog of new and archival recordings.

still standing by my original assessment of the new Jones -- best solo guitar record (w/ some banjo) of 2016. prove me wrong, fingerpickers!!
― tylerw, Thursday, 10 March 2016 15:22 (eight years ago) link
coupla new relevant things i've heard -- marisa anderson's Into The Light (a bit more fleshed out/atmospheric sound for her, with pedal steel, keyboards etc) and a new Danny Paul Grody cassette that sounded awesome, some very Popol Vuh-y moments.
― tylerw, Thursday, 10 March 2016 15:26 (eight years ago) link
Oooh, nice. Psyched for both of those. Pretty sure Glenn will rule 2016 for me though. Think there is a new Nathan Bowles rolling down the pike at some point too (new songs have ruled, should be a winner).
― grandavis, Thursday, 10 March 2016 15:31 (eight years ago) link
I like Glenn's stuff and, like many here, I loved My Garden State, but this
Jones and Baird made no attempt to soundproof the recording environment, happy to let sounds filtering in from the outdoors to become part of the listening experience
is a pet peeve (admittedly a nit-picky one). I can almost hear so-called purists nodding their heads in agreement with this statement in the bio, taking for granted that this is the only way to "really record a guitar, man" without considering the alternative (see also: analog vs digital wars). The 'mic the room' cult has grown larger over time, perhaps thanks to negative Windham Hill (also possibly Ani DiFranco) 'direct into the board' connotations, perhaps due to the success of people like Lanois and T-Bone. Again, I realize this is the very essence of a first world problem but, you know, not everything has to be audio vérité. Sometimes I just want to hear the instrument and not the instrument in the room, if that makes any sense. Would be curious to hear the opinions of folks here who are recording themselves (or other acoustic players).

happy to let sounds filtering in from the outdoors to become part of the listening experience
heh it's a little precious
i record in my basement letting "sounds from the outdoors become part of the listening experience" for me would be airplane noise, bass from passing cards, and my neighbord goddamn dogs
Sometimes I just want to hear the instrument and not the instrument in the room, if that makes any sense.
i personally put up some acoustic baffles to absorb noise and record pretty "dry" with the intent of adding reverb later with plugins or whatever if i want it....i think recording "roomy" works great...if you have a good sounding room in the first place, it all depends
also there's times when i feel like old shit i recorded on my last cell phone is cooler than shit i've done with all this equipment i wasted money on
― robbie ca$hflo (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 10 March 2016 16:22 (eight years ago) link
I have no real stake in either approach. Basically if it works it works, take it on a record by record basis. I don't give much truck to the audio verité angle other than I get why folks have an affinity for it, but really any and all methods are cool if the results bear fruit. I definitely hear you on the "real guitar record" kind of mentality, which is just not my thing at all. I love hearing just the instrument with no distractions/bleeding/incidental shit. Just as magical when done well, and sometimes making for a deeper listening experience due to the directness of it.
― grandavis, Thursday, 10 March 2016 16:29 (eight years ago) link
guitars sound beautiful situated amongst other sounds cf. a raga called pat & everything like it. what a terrible tragedy it would have been if there had been no dog to bark on poor boy on transfiguration
― ogmor, Thursday, 10 March 2016 16:32 (eight years ago) link
i think the only time this has really distracted or bothered me was on the last mississippi john hurt recordings when you can hear him wheezing as he plays
― ogmor, Thursday, 10 March 2016 16:35 (eight years ago) link
I mean, the solo guitar recording/track can sometimes use a counterpoint for sure, i.e. benefit from the ambient/incidental sounds. I just don't elevate this approach over all others. It is just one option, which can be wonderful or unnecessary, just depends.

ha, is there a post-fahey equivalent to #jarrettgrunts? i don't get all a-titter when i read that there are cicadas in the mix, but when it works, it works -- actually the Glenn Jones "nature sounds" on his latest and My Garden State are probably the best recent examples I can think of.

i guess orcutt hums along a lot of the time
― tylerw, Thursday, 10 March 2016 16:46 (eight years ago) link
The Orcutt hums bothered me when I saw him live, as it seemed like a forced gimmick to further validate him as an interesting weirdo artist. I know that's cynical, but I would revaluate and say that things like that can be good for creating atmosphere around an approach.

Similarly, I don't think this is a purists thing, but really just a way to create atmosphere as well in a subtle way. Solo instrumentals can more easily achieve atmosphere this way, as there otherwise isn't very many ingredients to work with.
― Evan, Thursday, 10 March 2016 17:50 (eight years ago) link
i guess the ultimate answer is the same for any recording techique/approach to production:
it depends

glenn jones sounding like a 'classic' glenn jones bit, no big twists but always good to get some more from him! also i generally find it hard to wrap my head around a stream/'first listen' (esp when there's no track list so this opinion may change)
i agree that the 'audio verite' thing gets a little cute. there's something to be said for the atmosphere it can add and how it adds an additional sonic palette to work with but i wonder if it's getting somewhat cliche in this genre (see also: obligatory 'droney'/collage-style track stuck in the middle of tracklisti to illustrate one's stylistic breadth). can't think of too many examples of the latter atm (and maybe pointing the finger at myself) but i feel like it's also a trope of the genre
