ogmor - it says it's on a bandcamp album called odds and ends by dbh, but it's not there, i'd bet taken down for copyright reasons - would you by chance have downloaded that? :)

is it on it? i had that album on an old laptop which is awaiting resurrection. there's also a dbh tab book in existence which covers a lot of stuff of that era. he's excellent at transcribing/arranging (idk which term is more correct) stuff for guitar, saw him play an impromptu medley of about ten neil young tracks at the launch of his first album.

"transcribing/arranging" he's doing both!

is it on it? i had that album on an old laptop which is awaiting resurrection.

according to the youtube description it was so if it ever comes back to life i would love to hear the better sound quality version

i love his sound, makes me want to switch to nylon strings

cool soundcloud find:

Hey, look what showed up on my front porch!

anybody know what Cian Nugent has been playing this recent tour? Bummed to see that NYC Taper set from earlier in March had nothing off Born With The Caul. the new album is pretty okay but nothing close to that record... i dunno how interested i'd be in going if it were the more 'songwritery' things.

Maybe "American Primitivism" is a totally fake genre invented by proficient guitarists who are actual singer-songwriter hopefuls that wanted an easy "in" so they could later transition into what they actually wanted to do all along now that they already have a contract with a label + evidence of fans.

Bachman came through Houston and played some new material. He craftily wove it in so well with his material from the Three Lobed record that it was difficult to tell when an old song ended and a new one began. It was a good set. Fact fun I learned over dinner that night: "Cosmos" is actually a part of Cian's name, though I can't remember if it's Cian Cosmos Nugent or Cian Nugent Cosmos...

New material includes some killer slow dirges; with pauses so long that the audience would sometimes think the song ended. Sounds similar in it's tone to the Three Lobed stuff.

Had no idea Gunn's new one is going to be on Matador.. June 3rd!

joanna newsom was playing this before she came on stage for her show in Dublin in Olympia

she also played the sandy bull version of carmina burana before one of her previous shows here

hey all - this album isn't totally core ILX brigade stuff but the new Olivia Chaney album - The Longest River is out and boy is it gorgeous, like a new Sandy Denny, and plenty of really great fingerpicking on it

Is this the only Olivia Chaney reference on ILM? I saw her twice at Big Ears last week, and she was great. Beautiful voice, nice songs, and a great, fluid guitarist and pianist (and harmonium player). The album isn't as transfixing as the live show, but it's very good.

this is lovely

saw Ryley Walker at an in-store before his date opening up for the band Deer Tick (which was sold out anyway)...so I know I was kinda down on him but he seemed more just goofy and amiable live...also he kept asking if anyone knew of anything going on that night which it occured to me (also after seeing William Tyler's new album trailer) that touring the whole country with a guitar and just yourself might make a person kinda loopy after awhile.

in any case, he played wonderfully, was a small but attentive crowd of about 20...got good video of two songs (both I think unreleased?) one a very American Primitive instrumental another a vocals song with some really great playing that makes you imagine what his last album would sound like stripped down...

Vocal track there sounds almost exactly like Steve Gunn to me. Love the guitar playing. I really hope I can get somewhere near that level myself, someday.

I say the more performers trying to sound like Michael Chapman the better.

These are lovely - thanks for sharing. I think he's good, but I can't help thinking once Walker's shed all his influences, he'll be brilliant. I hope so.

Just listening to Chuck Johnson's Velvet Arc now. 'Anamet' is gorgeous (and very Tyler in its scope).

:)

yeah i love that one.

This VDSQ batch is really shaping up to be a doozy, but yeah the Sarah Louise tracks I have heard are the ones I am most into right now. They have all been good though!

Nice! I had some great video of Sarah Louise from global's house but she not to be recorded it cuz it was stuff from the vdsq release so I deleted it, but that should be great

Beautiful song, looking forward to this

Yeah that "Floating Rhododendron" track is awesome. Something cool about her arrangements that really works for me.

Have you folks heard Global's tape on Cabin Floor Esoterica by the way? Awesome stuff. Really nice mix of guitar + various complimentary moves and serious sonic detritus. Really into it:

https://cabinflooresoterica.bandcamp.com/album/cfe-58-slow-clarity

Really love the way the tape moves through the sounds and sets a mood without sitting on anything for very long. Just a really nicely sequenced set (things operate kind of as suites as opposed to straight runs through songs).

Oh I love the album art!!

"Floating Rhododendron"
sounds a lot like 'global tetrahedron' haha!

Hah hah it does, doesn't it! Homage?

homage when you need one

homage ... or diss track? #takomabeef

sounds delicious

Nice interview with Cian Nugent by a guitar shop here in Dublin, includes acoustic versions of Lost Your Way and Lucy.

Another Guild player. Is Guild a thing? I suppose Buckley and Drake played Guilds.
I'm a pretty decent fingerpicker, but watching these videos reminds me I've still a lot to learn...

this is the stuff i want to hear more of... wow:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzv9Sw94CyE

oh yeah that's nice

Neil Young played Guilds. Aren't they pretty much up there with Martin and Gibson for quality?

Yeah, sometimes it feels like all the contemporary people play Guilds, or at least have one in the lineup. People seem to dig them because they are relatively affordable compared to the other makes, while still having great sound and proportional quality. There's a Steve Gunn video with him explaining his reasons for playing one, the Guitar Power series maybe?

Yeah the market prices for old Martins and Gibsons are so nuts. If you'd put all your money on acoustic guitars in the mid 90s I'd bet you'dve beat the stock market... I have as couple Seagulls best value in guitars IMO if you can deal with the dorky headstock

Saw Glenn Jones recently and he played 85% of his set on a Guild

You weren't at the Union Pool show yesterday, were you?

No, this was a few weeks ago. How was Union Pool?

He was great! Laura Baird and Anthony Pasquarosa opened. Anthony and Laura were both super nice to talk to and it was great to catch up with Glenn since the wedding. Obviously Laura joined him on stage for Across the Tappan Zee.

sorry to do the mid-00s ilx-as-nyc-show-discussion-board thing BUT speaking of union pool anyone going to ryler walker/charles rumbach tonight?

damn you nyc-ers and your endless cool shows.
glenn jones performance/interview from last night on WFMU is archived here: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/66113

I hadn't planned on/known about the Union Pool show tonight, but I probably won't I don't think. Don't feel like going into BK right now, sorry Ryley!

cmon it's 4/20 man
