yeah kind of ridiculously good
― tylerw, Tuesday, 15 September 2015 19:17 (eight years ago) link
Unreal good. Easily one of my favorites of the year.
Are her others this good, or is Salsburg the x-factor here?
― Wimmels, Tuesday, 15 September 2015 20:04 (eight years ago) link
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.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 15 September 2015 20:15 (eight years ago) link
This sounds great. I was already very excited about Ambsace.
― Evan, Tuesday, 15 September 2015 20:19 (eight years ago) link
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/

oh nice, didn't know she was doing a VDSQ record. that should be good. will check out mark verdin!
― tylerw, Thursday, 17 September 2015 14:24 (eight years ago) link
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
― tylerw, Thursday, 17 September 2015 16:00 (eight years ago) link
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.
― grandavis, Thursday, 17 September 2015 16:03 (eight years ago) link
ha, it does kind of stand out, but i don't mind it toooo much. it's short, anyway.
― tylerw, Thursday, 17 September 2015 16:07 (eight years ago) link
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
― Ma$e-en-scène (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 25 September 2015 16:40 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, I'm very excited!
― Evan, Friday, 25 September 2015 16:41 (eight years ago) link
oof yeah that looks great. bridget st john's cover of chapman's "rabbit hills" from a few years back is unbelievablehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDKG68LEnA8
― tylerw, Friday, 25 September 2015 16:42 (eight years ago) link
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
― Meta Forksclove-Liebeskind (forksclovetofu), Friday, 25 September 2015 17:10 (eight years ago) link
That's for sure!
― Evan, Friday, 25 September 2015 17:12 (eight years ago) link
Wow, $12 too! That is a hell of a night of music for $12. Enjoy.
― grandavis, Friday, 25 September 2015 17:30 (eight years ago) link
bridget st john for $12?! what planet do you guys live onthose other guys are great too but she is classic
― La Lechera, Friday, 25 September 2015 17:37 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Meta Forksclove-Liebeskind (forksclovetofu), Friday, 25 September 2015 17:41 (eight years ago) link
yeah that's insane, i just picked up the reissue of songs for the gentle man for $12 on clearance....shit is so fancy it makes bryter layter sound like the stooges, gorgeous arrangements, such a pure voice
chapman is quite a character and man he still plays amazingly well
― Ma$e-en-scène (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 25 September 2015 17:43 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Evan, Friday, 25 September 2015 17:47 (eight years ago) link
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
― La Lechera, Friday, 25 September 2015 17:51 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Meta Forksclove-Liebeskind (forksclovetofu), Friday, 25 September 2015 17:51 (eight years ago) link
and I am so jealous xp
― sleeve, Friday, 25 September 2015 17:53 (eight years ago) link
I saw them at a small club about 8 years ago and they were awesome
― Meta Forksclove-Liebeskind (forksclovetofu), Friday, 25 September 2015 17:56 (eight years ago) link
Fugazi/The Ex/Shellac at the Congress Theatre in Chicago was one of the best shows I've seen
― Ma$e-en-scène (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 25 September 2015 18:08 (eight years ago) link
There are some really nice moments on this Gunn & Black Twigs live set. Some beautiful stuff.
― grandavis, Friday, 25 September 2015 21:00 (eight years ago) link
yeah checking that out now ... "seasonal hire"! so good. these pickers should definitely be making an album a year or something.
― tylerw, Friday, 25 September 2015 21:10 (eight years ago) link
[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!
― grandavis, Friday, 25 September 2015 21:16 (eight years ago) link
And yeah, "Seasonal Hire" was top notch.
― grandavis, Friday, 25 September 2015 21:18 (eight years ago) link
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
― Wimmels, Thursday, 1 October 2015 14:50 (eight years ago) link
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.
― grandavis, Thursday, 1 October 2015 15:13 (eight years ago) link
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.
