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

Paul, sure, aging out/losing interest happens, but in general there is a certain type of very avid and active music fan in my neck of the woods between the ages of lets say 30-55 that do look for new bands and attend a lot of shows, but they don't find this stuff that in my mind is very adjacent and relatable to other stuff they dig. Aquarium Drunkard is a good example of a place kind of bridging some gaps that I would think are easy to bridge, and I see fans of the type I am imagining online (the Phish loving Bachman fan, essentially), but it does not bear out in the kind of numbers I would think are out there to be had.

Based on the 1000 Rose Fest, I think a lot of older Fahey/Kottke folks really loved seeing younger people continuing the tradition

i got out my loop pedal last night and there was this acoustic/synth loop thing still on it...so i added a bass part, kinda funky little snippet

That sounds cool UMS, dig it. Nice loop, coulda listened for a lot longer ....

thanks! i never know how long to make repetitive stuff

Hah hah keep in mind you are getting feedback from someone who has rarely put out a track shorter than 10 minutes long.

i think it's still saved on my pedal so i guess it could be infinite

i'm a drone coward :0

Hah hah I mean barely anyone makes it through an entire track of mine I am pretty sure. It is a fine line to ride.

only you know when it's done

lol @ "drone coward"

Did all of the rest of you 1000 Rose people see the email from Jesse that just came in? Photos/audio etc. Starting to look through the folders now!

oh wow yeah i just checked....goddamn this is goldmine

glad to have the charlie schmidt, that was one of my favorite sets

YSI?

check ilxmail :)

<3

Ha, you can see me chuckle when I see UMS's reaction after the guy shuts the shades in his face during the Rob Noyes set.

hahaha that was a hilarious Larry David American Primitive moment I was trying to figure out what I'd done wrong

new thang from dylan aycock, who is a little underrated, I think (even by himself, judging from the title!) https://scissortail.bandcamp.com/album/guitar-meanderings-ii

the sound quality on the community center recording in the 1000rose dp link is really high quality :)

Would you mind passing on the link to me as well?

:)

I'm working through the community centre recordings now; might come back to the talk and spoken word but focusing on the music. I'm a little envious of those of you who got to see all of this. Some beautiful stuff here. The Peter Walker set was way up my alley. The Glenn Jones/Susan Alcorn duo also really good. A little surprised (in a v good way) by how far out the Sarah Louise and Luke (Stewart?) and Susan (Alcorn?) set got.

yeah it really had little to do w/am primitive at all, dug that set a lot (s louise et al)

oh no poor peter :(

cool NY taper set of solar motel band

http://www.nyctaper.com/2018/08/chris-forsyth-the-solar-motel-band-july-28-2018-union-pool-summer-thunder/

yeah, the new stuff / two-drummer lineup sounds radical!

this is maybe a little off for the thread, but: https://okazakiwork.bandcamp.com/album/work-complete-volumes-1-6

complete works of Monk for solo guitar ... sounds pretty cool.

oh wow cool idea

i can't remember the name of the guy but i downloaded this collection of american primitive arrangements of genesis stuff for solo guitar that was dope

yes! thanks!

Peter seems to be back posting avuncular anti-Trump posts on Facebook, a good sign

If anyone is looking to grab the new Bachman or any other Three Lobed releases, today is an OK day to do so. Celebrating 18 years today! Quite a feat:

"18 years, that's how old TLR is as of today. hard to believe - seems like stuffing those first bardo 10"s wasn't that long ago. sheesh! thanks to everyone out there! the code "ufos_are_real" will get you 15% off whatever at http://threelobed.bandcamp.com through the end of the day..."

A lot of good options in that catalogue. Probably still copies of those 3 Jack Rose reissues, along with many other good options of course.

how is there no dedicated Three Lobed thread?

Good question. I mean, they come up HERE a lot, but Three Lobed is broader than this thread tends to get. Such a good label.

did you guys all hear fabiano do nascimento's album from last year, tempo dos mestres? he's a brazilian guitarist based in california, his playing is tight, crisp, light & lyrical, it's full of gorgeous and quite varied duets, he's got a lovely voice (top mumbler) and is generally an irresistible cutie. it's easily the best guitar album I've heard from the last few years, it's everything I want from guitar music

no but thanks for the recommendation, will check that out

yeah it's lovely

(it's been mentioned a couple times in some threads IIRC)

wow he sounds great — thanks for the tip!

wow this is exceptional, thanks ogmor!

I love the old school 60s hard-pan stereo mix

This stops me listening to the orang-asli playing their nose flutes, and frankly that isn't good enough*!

Jokes, obviously, I'm sure I picked up his first record on this thread, and loved it. Didn't know about the second.

*Apologies for any dickish comments during Lattimore-gate.

let's all hold hands and bask in fab's light. the first album is really good but tempo dos mestres is a glistening masterpiece. all these bad boys trying to cook up the gnarliest open-tuned whirlwind to supercharge everything with righteous fury and here's fabiano with the gentlest breeze to make your heart cave in. there's so much joy in it, such clarity to his playing (a v rare quality nowadays) and it's foregrounded so beautifully by the more diffuse/unfocused elements (is this what he means when he talks about the rainforest? I have never been & have no clue), especially the percussion

would be curious how you feel about the new daniel bachman, as he's sort of abandoned his young hotshot status for more ethereal stuff

he also put these other versions/reworkings on bandcamp - https://fabianodonascimento.bandcamp.com/album/tempos-selection

hard to pick any tracks out on such a consistent record but his version of canto de xango is... the best version? it's sublime, anyway. really adore o tempo too, just the sweetest tune

haven't been able to bring myself to listen to the bachman yet despite yr and global's enthusiasm. i will dutifully report back if and when

haha american primitive: the toughest job you'll ever love

just recall i said i enjoyed it, not that i think it's the second coming of Days Have Gone By or anything

New Glenn Jones here. Haven't seen any discussion on this yet.

yeah just digging into it this morning on the way into work

glenn's about as consistent an artist as you'll find in the world today, he's so at ease with his own playing

the last passenger pigeon is a standout

only thing that's kind weird for him is i hear some rattling on his guitar that's def. not there on my garden state, almost sounds like a setup issue on the guitar?

xp below the fold, but this is all the discussion I see here so far:

new glenn jones! https://thrilljockey.com/products/the-giant-who-ate-himself-and-other-new-works-for-6-12-string-guitar

very good stuff

I like River in the Sky where you can hear crickets and a plane flying by overhead

Bachman has a lot of environmental stuff on his album too, definitely adds to the sense of space
