from a Buenos Aires folk scene report on Bandcamp today, p cool stuff
https://dientedemadera.bandcamp.com/releases
Jonah Schwartz quickly made his mark on the folk music scene after moving to Buenos Aires from New Jersey over a decade ago, playing mandolin in Los Alamos and acting as one half of the folk duo Springlizard. He lists minimalist composter La Monte Young, Hindustani classical singer Pandit Pran Nath, and Appalachian-influenced drone banjoist Nathan Bowles as the main influences for this most recent project.

and yeah -- ogmor is otm about Linden Ave Stomp, that one always seems so perfectly composed and rendered.

Wow, you folks have been busy. Good stuff. I played "Linden Ave Stomp" about 4 times in a row the other day btw. Something in the air I guess ....

Hey guys, I wanted to bring this up while we're still giving love to "Linden Ave Stomp":
Jack Rose & D. Charles Speer & The Helix - Linden Ave Stomphxxps://youtube.com/watch?v=UGdkSZ6lzHY
Did anyone else dig this album when it came out posthumously back in 2010? Surprisingly I haven't thought too much about it in a couple years but came across it again riffling through my records. It's got some great New Riders of the Purple Sage/Link Ray Three Track Shack tones and this electric version of Linden Ave is always a good time. Their version of "In the Pines" is a nice good-time-vibe track too.

Never really got why the Speer band wasn't more popular (relatively speaking). Great players, really good songs, excellent live band, excellent records...what gives?

Super happy to see that William Tyler added a Seattle date, it had looked like he was going Portland-Vancouver when I checked last week. I've been listening to the live at Third Man album and it's so lovely. Interesting that the Graceland 2 incident turns up in the between song banter, there's a song about it on a recent Parquet Courts album as well.

is he with Margo Price in Seattle or solo?
he's w/ Margo in Portland. what a bill. kind of a strange pairing, but still...
― alpine static, Tuesday, 4 October 2016 23:58 (seven years ago) link
i don't mean solo, really. i just mean is Margo on the bill or not. obviously. OK...well, then
― alpine static, Tuesday, 4 October 2016 23:59 (seven years ago) link
With Margo

Does Glenn Jones just keep getting better? New track
― global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:32 (seven years ago) link
yeah that's great, i almost feel bad it's like he so consistently great it's almost like "ho hum another great glenn jones song"
his stuff feels so composed & well thought out compared to most other post fahey guys
― blonde redheads have more fun (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 12 October 2016 18:47 (seven years ago) link
Glenn is a gem (cue broken record ...). I actually get his songs stuck in my head all the time, which does not happen with a lot of solo guitar music of any kind. "Across the Tappan Zee" comes unbidden into my brain all the time and lodges itself there for hours. I am fine with this.
― grandavis, Thursday, 13 October 2016 12:56 (seven years ago) link
It's funny how recognizable his songs are, I think it's because he essentially reorders all of his Glenn Jones-isms to create new songs. I'll hear melodies from old songs altered or seemingly in a different key pop up here and there. I think all artists do this but I listen to Glenn so intently that his trademark quirks stand out to me.

My dbh LP came today. I like this album more every time I listen to it

New Bachman approaching on Three Lobed. Liking this one so far:

Has kind of a strange cadence and approach to it once it gets going. Interested to see where the album goes.
― grandavis, Thursday, 13 October 2016 20:47 (seven years ago) link

Hah hah hah. I can imagine Bachman getting a kick out of it. But yeah, the patterns were cool to me for sure.

i don't think ogmor is a big fan of bachman, maybe he made a bunch of troll accounts for the vid ;)

man, Xylouris/White were so good last night here in Eugene. got a major Sun City Girls vibe from a lot of what they were doing. They also played this subdued trance-inducing song from the 14th century that allegedly had 10,000 verses, they did the first 15. I listened to the records before the show, but ended up thinking that what they are doing live is even better.
― sleeve, Friday, 14 October 2016 15:55 (seven years ago) link
I discussed the Dylan Nobel with Mr. White, he was all for it.
― sleeve, Friday, 14 October 2016 15:56 (seven years ago) link
XW is so good -- and yeah, I like the records, but live they were transcendent.
― tylerw, Friday, 14 October 2016 15:57 (seven years ago) link
a buddy of mine taped it, I will be in touch ;)

the d charles speer & helix & jack rose record has that good ramshackle bar band energy and is actually pretty rocking (esp in the pines), the rare thing ITT that you could dance to. speer&helix are an interesting evolutionary link between the 00s scene and the 10s one
― Master Ballsmith (ogmor), Friday, 14 October 2016 17:59 (seven years ago) link
i can't wait to see XW. i tried to get 1 of my bands a spot opening for them but it failed. i tried though! couldn't resist. that would be so dreamy.

Sorry folks, this is goofy and kind of lame typically, but I am jazzed on it so I am posting here: I just got an original copy of Fahey's "Days Have Gone By Volume 6" with the insert/booklet and everything for a decent price. Psyched!
― grandavis, Friday, 21 October 2016 20:43 (seven years ago) link
Had been kind of a crummy couple of weeks, so it was really nice to end this one with such a treat.
― grandavis, Friday, 21 October 2016 20:44 (seven years ago) link
congrats! That's one of the best ones, too. Originals have become harder and harder to come by.
― Wimmels, Friday, 21 October 2016 20:53 (seven years ago) link
ah, I'm not much of a record fetishist but that's probably my favourite Fahey and I am v jealous. the liner notes to those classic takoma albums are wonderful too, bet it smells good
― ogmor, Friday, 21 October 2016 20:56 (seven years ago) link
yeahhh that one is the best. i saw some 60s fahey at a shop a little while ago, but it was way too much $$$$ for me.
― tylerw, Friday, 21 October 2016 20:58 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, I don't wanna be that guy (and I am not a collector at all for the most part) but I was psyched at the price. The cover is beat up but the LP plays fine. Really the booklet is worth it to me alone. I love it and the LP.
― grandavis, Friday, 21 October 2016 21:13 (seven years ago) link
I found transfiguration of blind joe death in an antique shop some years back! Pretty sure I got it for a great price however it was missing the book insert.
― Evan, Friday, 21 October 2016 21:17 (seven years ago) link
Let me tell everyone is this thread: John Fahey is so great! I was just listening to Fare Forward Voyagers while driving through Colorado. Unbelievably good.
