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

This is sweet.

They ended the set with a weird and great version of Bascom Lamar Lunsford's "I Wish I Was A Mole In The Ground"! Really cool.

Think nyc taper is there so hopefully I can check this stuff out at a later date!

me & global & matt sowell are playing a house show in mpls with sarah louise next wednesday, very exciting!

Nice! I've really been enjoying her record.

Awesome UMS, would love to see that show!

And yeah Tyler, pretty sure NYC Taper is there. Would like to hear both of those sets again.

wow this new Joan Shelley *swoon*

yeah kind of ridiculously good

Unreal good. Easily one of my favorites of the year.

Are her others this good, or is Salsburg the x-factor here?

salsburg is only on one song (i think) from her last LP, but it is great too. Over & Even might be sliiiiightly better, but Electric Ursa is definitely worth your time too.

This sounds great. I was already very excited about Ambsace.

yeah, they are great companion albums (elkington plays a bit on the shelley record too). guess you can stream all of ambsace over yonder: https://soundcloud.com/paradise-of-bachelors/sets/james-elkington-nathan-salsburg-ambsace-pob-21-2015/

sarah louise was really great last night, new album on VDSQ should be something special

felt like me, global, & matt s. played well...global's roommate matt (another matt) played and wow he is amazing also a guy named mark verdin who was great! he has an album on bandcamp. he played amazing did some tenor guitar stuff, really cool

http://markverdin.bandcamp.com/

oh nice, didn't know she was doing a VDSQ record. that should be good.
will check out mark verdin!

Glad that show went well! Would have liked to have seen it. Also need to ask for some of these VDSQ records for Christmas or something, developing into a hell of a catalogue.

Also, I am enjoying that Salsburg/Elkington preview stream a lot. I haven't warmed up to Salsburg's playing so much in the past, mainly cause it was so pristine and well-executed that it seemed a little airless and ornamental to me, but probably I need to revisit and spend a little more time with it.

global's roommate matt (another matt)

there will never be a shortage of Matt's who can play solo guitar!

i smell a comp -- imattginational anthem vol. 1

Hah hah. You could definitely get a good comp of Matts together.

Kind of wish they didn't cover The Smiths on this record. Only one that has been off to me so far.

ha, it does kind of stand out, but i don't mind it toooo much. it's short, anyway.

Anyone else also going to this?

wow what a bill, would love to see bridget st. john, and gunn and chapman were both amazing when i saw them

Yeah, I'm very excited!

oof yeah that looks great.
bridget st john's cover of chapman's "rabbit hills" from a few years back is unbelievable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDKG68LEnA8

thanks for the heads up here; i was unfamiliar with the artists but a quick listen through to each suggested i should really go to this show

That's for sure!

Wow, $12 too! That is a hell of a night of music for $12. Enjoy.

bridget st john for $12?! what planet do you guys live on
those other guys are great too but she is classic

Monty Hall is making a name as a great venue for solid artists and cheap tickets but ya gotta take the PATH to get there.
The Ex have a show there soon too.

yeah that's insane, i just picked up the reissue of songs for the gentle man for $12 on clearance....
shit is so fancy it makes bryter layter sound like the stooges, gorgeous arrangements, such a pure voice

chapman is quite a character and man he still plays amazingly well

PATH is not THAT bad. The worst thing about it is that it can be pretty infrequent on the wrong day or time-of-day. However, not a problem for me in this case as I'll be driving from 5 minutes away in Hoboken.

She is classic! Wish I could go to that.

Some Gunn & Black Twigs to warm up for the show: http://www.nyctaper.com/2015/09/steve-gunn-the-black-twig-pickers-september-11-2015-hopscotch-music-festival-raleigh-nc-flacmp3streaming/

omg i am so psyched to see the ex

i lived in jersey city for a decade; i am super well acquainted with the path. i don't mind it when i have to.

and I am so jealous xp

I saw them at a small club about 8 years ago and they were awesome

Fugazi/The Ex/Shellac at the Congress Theatre in Chicago was one of the best shows I've seen

There are some really nice moments on this Gunn & Black Twigs live set. Some beautiful stuff.

yeah checking that out now ... "seasonal hire"! so good. these pickers should definitely be making an album a year or something.

[not that there isn't more than enough to keep up with all their various projects ... ]

Hah yeah, agreed. They don't all live in the same city any more, and most of them tour for chunks of the year (well, Nathan seems to be constantly on tour these days at least), so I think it if probably tough for them to get time to record.

On the "more than enough" front, Mike & Cara Gangloff have finished a record with a bunch of musicians (the only one I definitely know is Tatsuya Nakatani) they are calling The Great American Drone Orchestra I believe. Sounds pretty great to me based on the title/premise alone!

And yeah, "Seasonal Hire" was top notch.

nice, really liked that last Mike & Cara Gangloff record. Great American Drone Orchestra! Sounds ambitious.

Tashi on NPR, with link to pre-order the split LP with Marisa Anderson:

here

Looking forward to this record. Tashi tune is pretty great, tuneful in its own fractured way. Just love how he incorporates the incidentals/interjections so "musically" amidst the short cyclic melodies and themes. Quite a trick.

Doesn't sound like he has any preparations on the guitar for this one, is maybe just straight acoustic guitar.

Hey guys, hope it's okay to share some recent bits I recorded with the phone. Lately I've been honed in on exercising restraint. It's been more rewarding (fun) to slow down than it was to speed up in the first place.

Please share, I like hearing what ppl are up to

Just got back from a wedding reception, Nathan Bowles and Michael Chapman both played in addition to some other bands, man Chapman is a force of nature

Man, this thread becoming the "wedding's to envy" location of choice. Nathan Bowles AND Michael Chapmen ehh? Damn!

haha, no kidding.
