ILX Gonna Shine in My Backdoor Someday (new post-Fahey folk for ppl posting in Takoma/Tompkins Square threads Pt II)

excellent read. fahey was such a bullshitter

basho always does sound like the biggest douche though

both weird jerks! good guitarists though.

lmao

FAHEY: No. It was just spoken and it was all fucked up. It was like, “American Indians are the same as Hindus,” and all that stuff. It wasn't even funny, it was so pitiful.

COLEY: He was the warrior of a lost tribe.

FAHEY: But he was the only one from the tribe. That was his trouble.

fahey low key one of the funniest musicians i can think of honestly

Considered going to this just to see the Basho doc. Bet it will be a fun time, but three days of DADGAD sounds like overkill to me

Any word on the release date for the Glenn Jones comp?

oh don't worry there will be plenty of open c :)

next thursday in greenfield is Xylouris White/ Scratch Ticket show. i'll be deejaying freedom music between sets. Scratch Ticket is Willie Lane's electric power trio with John & Rob of Sunburned. they are awesome. seems like people here would dig Xylouris White.

I saw them (XW) a while back and they were great

xylouris white put on one of the best gigs I've seen in the past decade or so.
does scratch ticket have any recordings? sounds like a good combo.

i think they will probably record? at some point.

scratch ticket and new parents are the guitar bands to beat around here. new parents played last night and they were friggin' awesome. just amazing 2 guitar action. 60s/70s vibe. THEY have a new album out on Feeding Tube that i picked up last night. that show also had lou barlow solo playing his tiny guitar. lou plays that tiny guitar very well. or was it a uke? (new parents is adam from sore eros new band. if you are familiar with sore eros.)

man does everyone in your town have a deal with feeding tube?

XW are so good live

wow fleetwood mac cover connections

haha yeah ...
oh and hey, there's a pretty killer new cian nugent jam up over here: https://ciannugent.bandcamp.com/track/inherited-traits-2

Into checking both of these out. Marisa is just so damn good, glad there is a new one on the way.

Yeah, she's got a bunch of albums on bandcamp, and that reissued, expanded Traditional and Public Domain Songs (with couple tracks available only on there), the one some us were loving last fall, is still so hot.

"some us"? jeez I've read a couple news features published (sic) lately, but still no excuse.

Marisa is definitely a good reason to go to the "Thousand Incarnations of the Rose" festival. She is a joy live, and I haven't seen her in ages. Need to get a copy of "Traditional and Public Domain Songs" at some point, just a great album. Really interested to see what direction the new one goes in.

I said FUCK LYFE and I'm going...bought my ticket... :)

<3

Got an email from Glenn!

The comp with the same name as the fest is slated to come out next month! This includes a 6500 word essay about American Primitive.

Also he's got a new album coming out late August!

nice

i'm more excited now that i pulled the trigger

might be overkill but at the same time there will never be a more impressive lineup assembled in one place, barring the ability to raise the dead

listening to Into the Light by Marisa Anderson right now, she really is so amazing...

doing guitar stuff that approaches "bluesy" without being corny as shit is like, really really difficult and she does it amazingly

That's a good thread idea

"Examples of" style

yeah it would be but i don't know if i could articulate other examples

flight: booked

as it gets closer we should have a roll call and figure out how we could have a meetup at 1000 roses :)

there's a bluesy dbh tune that comes to mind but yeah off the top of my head it's tough to think of more

We (wife and I) just got our tickets

yay!

omg, yeah, xylouris white were off the hook. yikes. so great. they are going all over the states and if you have never seen them....

so much fun

jim white is one of the most entertaining musicians to see live imo

i could have watched him all night.

he plays in a very communicative style
does anyone not dig it?!

i played you follow me for an engineer that was recording our band and he described white's drumming as a "bowling ball made of jello" XD

haha! i hear almost universal praise for the guy, i was just wondering if anyone just does not dig his style.
does that guy prefer a crunchier drum sound?

no he meant it as a compliment! like powerful but somehow "wobbly" feeling i guess?

i don't know anyone that doesn't like j. white, but i guess it's a bit self-selecting like if you are the type of person who would know who jim white is you are probably the type of person who would like jim white

fwiw he is one of the only drummers where I have played like Dirty Three tracks for people and said "just listen to the drums"... "Sirena", my god.

i think so many people who have never heard/heard of jim white would have loved the performance last night. it's such an undeniable thing. and the telepathic vibe between the two of them AND just how damn good they are as musicians. it's like watching great athletes. who are really hairy. and who smoke a lot.

It always looks like his arms are moving too slow to fall on the beat, but they always do. Like, when you watch him, you think, "oh no, he's not gonna hit that snare in time, not with his arm all the way up there like that!" and then somehow it lands, and it sounds perfect

Obviously, I'm not a drummer

But yes, that guy is amazing

it kills me that they played to like ten fucking people in my town. in a 200-person hall.

anyone heard the new album? What's the ratio of vocal tracks to instrumental tracks?

i forgot to buy vinyl last night. i was busy deejaying. after they played i put on my fave kenny dope track in their honor.

willie lane electric was awesome last night too. such a great sound.

there were about 50 people there last night? something like that. a good crowd. very enthusiastic. a couple of drunk greek guys going nuts. j. mascis was there. he's a fan.

I saw them open for Godspeed You Black Emperor, which was actually a pretty good crowd for them, they went over well and I'd say there were about 1000 ppl there. I think they were opening that whole tour, I hadn't seen GYBE for a long time and wanted to see XW

also i told a kid to quit trying to mosh and he wanted to fight me and called me a cop

XW show i saw was sponsored by a local greek restaurant and like the entire greek community in denver (which is not big but still) turned out and went nuts. (my understanding is that xylouris' uncle was huge in greece)

yeah some friends of mine went to a show in new york that was packed with greek fans and they said it was pandemonium.
