it's all been amazing so far -- missed most of watery love, but have been pretty into everything else.

Thankfully there will be the NYCTaper archives to get to at some point ....

seems that the toth-bachman duo are covering "war pigs"

Wonder who the "secret guest(s)" is/are. Hear more than two folks ....

Will have to wait for the NYC tapes. Hell of a lineup, though.

Really nice piece by our man Tyler here:
http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/09/13/spirit-in-the-house-jack-roses-enduring-legacy/
Sure would like to imagine all of those choice alternate versions of tunes that Jason Meagher is sitting on may someday see the light ....
― grandavis, Tuesday, 13 September 2016 14:43 (seven years ago) link
thanks dude! was pretty easy -- these musicians also happen to be solid writers. meagher mentioned that there's been talk of pulling together some Jack Rose odds-n-ends (possibly including outtakes) into a comp sometime in the not so distant future. which would be cool!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 13 September 2016 14:48 (seven years ago) link
oh and hey, as a little bonus, check out this great Jack Rose mix of 20s/30s folk/jazz/blues: http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/150357336032/spirit-in-the-house-jack-roses-enduring-legacy
― tylerw, Tuesday, 13 September 2016 14:51 (seven years ago) link
Whoa, thanks! I sure hope Meagher and co. pull that off down the line, seems like a very worthy cause.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 13 September 2016 14:54 (seven years ago) link
can't wait to read that!
also the new Daniel Lanois album is fucking amazing wooooow
does anyone konw who Rocco DeLuca is besides a mob boss in a bad movie?

Bachman/Toth set now up:
http://www.nyctaper.com/2016/09/bachman-toth-band-september-9-2016-three-lobedwxdu-day-show-kings-raleigh-nc/
Psyched to revisit this, was one of the only things I caught in real time but man that was a crazy day and I was not ready for it hah hah. Now know that Ian McColm was on drums! Great dude and great musician (he has a duo tape with Daniel that came up at one point, a really cool guitar/drums set and different side of Daniel's playing, a very cool tape if you can track it down imo).
― grandavis, Thursday, 15 September 2016 15:08 (seven years ago) link
Marc Masters for bandcamp. Similar approach to Tyler but some different folks weighing (along with some of the same). Nice way to revisit this stuff though:

Just listening now. Blimey - a full on string-scraping droneathon. This stuff is shamanic. Making me want to dig out my Pelt records.
― Sunn O))) Brother Where Art Thou? (Chinaski), Monday, 19 September 2016 15:10 (seven years ago) link
Many good reasons to pull out Pelt recordings, but yeah, I love this stuff and what Jack did in Pelt (obviously).
― grandavis, Monday, 19 September 2016 19:43 (seven years ago) link
Not to detract form the Jack reissues (which are the most welcome reissues of the year) but I'm surprised there's not more talk about this new Imaginational Anthem comp (discussed some upthread). It's great.
― Wimmels, Monday, 19 September 2016 20:10 (seven years ago) link
yeah it really is a blast -- i'd be surprised if anyone on this thread didn't love it. wrote a quick thing about it here: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/09/15/imaginational-anthem-vol-8-the-private-press/
― tylerw, Monday, 19 September 2016 20:14 (seven years ago) link
just put it on about five minutes ago for my first listen! it is great- so surprising that i've literally never heard of any of these people, you'd think the well would have been tapped out by now

totally. speaking of which, this isn't bad either: https://dyingforbadmusic.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-to-leave-behind

― tylerw, Monday, 19 September 2016 20:29 (seven years ago) link
full circle, ha.
i suppose i envisioned these tracks on IA8 to be more rough around the edges, it's surprising how fully-formed a lot (all?) of the tracks are. some have a little tinny sounding production but i suspect a lot of these players had music careers in something other than soli guitar? like these might have been interludes on a guy's vocal album or something. or else i'm underestimating the extent of the private press movement and fahey's influence.
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 19 September 2016 20:57 (seven years ago) link
the gary salzman track is by far the standout after first runthrough
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 19 September 2016 21:24 (seven years ago) link
Another one! This would probably seem like overkill for most other people, but the fact is people were talking this way about Jack even when he was alive. Nice to see so many heartfelt remembrances here
― Wimmels, Tuesday, 20 September 2016 15:17 (seven years ago) link
heh, yeah, it does seem like overkill ... and then i go and read it and love every word.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 20 September 2016 15:20 (seven years ago) link
IA8 is really amazing
like i know people have....mixed reactions to that dude i guess...but man Tompkin's Square has found and released so much amazing guitar music both old and new...like I'd say at least 80% of ppl I feel like are "major" players in the scene now have been featured on IAs and this one is a wealth of old stuff that's great...His taste and ear for this stuff is impeccable.

Agreed. This latest volume is my favorite so far. My current favorite is the Lee Murdock tune, which I haven't seen many people singling out. I'm a sucker for a great melody, I guess!
― Wimmels, Tuesday, 20 September 2016 15:41 (seven years ago) link
that one sounded good on a crisp ride to work this morning!
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 20 September 2016 16:02 (seven years ago) link
yeahhh, that one has a nice George Cromarty feel to it. so pretty. i'm going to have to bug klausman about hearing complete LPs of some of these players ... looks like you can get CDs from Murdock himself: http://leemurdock.com/featured-work/where-the-pinery-narrows/http://leemurdock.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/lee-murdock-where-the-pinery-narrows.jpg

I need to get some of his stuff. His track on the new IA comp has quickly become my favorite on there.
I find that I increasingly enjoy the more melodic side of guitar soli, the guys who could really write. That's why I love Crandell, and the early de Grassi LPs: the compositions. Kinda tired of ragas and blues, and alternating thumb, and Travis picking. Wanna hear more stoned impressionism-type stuff! What else is in this vein that I may not be aware of?
I should probably try again with Cromarty. People who like this sort of thing love him, but I've always found him a bit too stately or something. I dunno. I'm probably too picky.
― Wimmels, Sunday, 25 September 2016 19:27 (seven years ago) link
haven't had much luck recording lately, i went through this whole phase with strictly acoustic playing where i was listening to glenn jones and kind of getting depressed like his compositions and playing are so perfect but perfectly at ease with themselves and everything he does just feels like he's so comfortable in his own skin as a player like why bother if you're not as good as he is?
i dunno
anyway this came together really quickly, i wrote this thing then when i put this digital delay plugin preset on it it seemed to just come alive, then i added some analog synth to it, anyway i'm pretty excited about this one at the moment

Imo "Why bother" mentality is toxic. If you've got something to say/play, you gotta say/play it. Censorship sucks :)
