Pasquarosa seems like an interesting guy. Need to check more of his albums out.

Glenn just mentioned to me that he just finished mastering his new album on Sunday. Released slated for March.

Yes! Great news.

I'm finding Matthew Mullane - VDSQ (vol.4) to be probably one of my all-time favorite solo instrumental records right now. I could listen to it over and over and over.
― Evan, Monday, 2 November 2015 17:18 (eight years ago) link
yeah it is great... only prob is that one side of my LP has a nasty defect! a huge vibe killing pop. vinyl, what is it good for?
― tylerw, Monday, 2 November 2015 17:41 (eight years ago) link
I'm listening to it right now - for the first time in ages. It's fabulous.

I've got to pick up "Hut Variations" ASAP as well. I'd totally forgotten about it.
― Evan, Monday, 2 November 2015 19:39 (eight years ago) link
don't know what other thread to put this in. this be worth seeing? a little expensive for me but he's a legend

New Cian Nugent song. Going the vocal route, and not much guitar overdrive on it at all (though he takes a nice, but short, solo). Fairly low-key and straightforward. Out on Woodsist, which gives you an idea of the sound/feel (of this tune at least):

― grandavis, Tuesday, 3 November 2015 17:07 (eight years ago) link
yeahhh i like this!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 3 November 2015 17:09 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, it's nice. Interested to hear what the rest of the record is like.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 3 November 2015 17:13 (eight years ago) link
almost all of the new one has vocals, so it's obviously moving a little bit out of this thread's territory, but I think Cian's done a good job of slipping into a more traditional singer-songwriter role. (and the new album has plenty of great guitar playing too)

he's pretty mindblowing. was just listening to a live disc from the 80s and it's insane the avant things he's doing on guitar, while still having an accordion dude pumping away behind him.

my first experience seeing Richard Thompson live was at a small club i was working. I had somehow never heard of him (I know, I know) and just wandered into the space ten minutes into a solo acoustic performance and it was like a hammer. I ran backstage afterward and cornered him with "WOW, you're really good man!" and he was very friendly and cool about it. Best conceivable way to discover him imo.

- global - yeah it's been a long time i hope to go

actually was sort of underwhelmed by the recent Acoustic Classics album ("unplugged" renditions of concert faves) -- his vocals are a little overbearing on it. guitar playing is of course excellent.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 15:28 (eight years ago) link
man cian nugent born with the caul is one of the all time great jam albums, so gorgeous
― Comme Si, Kamasi (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 5 November 2015 18:21 (eight years ago) link
yeah so good.

love this thread

okay normally i'm a bit bashful about sharing my stuff in here but i truly feel good about this set... takes a bit to get really cooking but i think it works. excited to have found a live 'sound' that works for me. using two amps and splitting my signal between various effects rather than just blasting all this noise into one amp with a sorta limited dynamic range

― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 01:49 (eight years ago) link
Sounds great!! I need to get back into recording, too. Thanks for sharing.
― Evan, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 16:36 (eight years ago) link
yeah, gonna check this out! when's yr next album coming out?
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 16:37 (eight years ago) link
Yeah Global, that sound is great! Always nice to hit on stuff that opens things up sonically. Nice trajectory to the set too, great job.

Also, for anyone not aware, the Tashi Dorji/Marisa Anderson split is up for streaming:

Haven't listened yet, but this is very much "my kinda thing" so I am psyched (but I already ordered the record so I mean I am gonna have plenty of time to lay into this one).

working on some more 'band' material... pretty out-there stuff. touchpoints are like harmonia and alice coltrane 'journey' but doesn't really sound like any of those, more along their loose-limbed vibe/texture. not rushing into anything though, definitely waiting for the good stuff to reveal itself
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 18:40 (eight years ago) link
guessing at least one year out for a release?
harmonia and alice coltrane? eh, doesn't sound like it'll be good at all.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 18:41 (eight years ago) link
ya it'll suck
working less on 'songwriting' and more getting into a specific feeling/moment. doesn't hurt that my roommate is schooled in jazz!
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 18:50 (eight years ago) link
Nice man, look forward to seeing where this winds up!
― grandavis, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 19:04 (eight years ago) link
awesome I guess Tom Carter is playing Minneapolis at an art space during a record swap in November :):):):):):)

I'm going to see Vampire Belt on Sunday!
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Friday, 13 November 2015 02:16 (eight years ago) link
nace + corsano, right? i've never heard them actually -- what are they like? good i assume.
― tylerw, Friday, 13 November 2015 16:56 (eight years ago) link
yup -- i don't know much about what they sound like either but i am interested in guitar-drums duos who mix composed with improvised so i'm looking forward to itsome quotes here to sum it up http://www.cor-sano.com/vampirebelt/
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Friday, 13 November 2015 18:11 (eight years ago) link
corsano is always worth seeing
― ogmor, Friday, 13 November 2015 18:22 (eight years ago) link
yupthey've got a new record too
― La Lechuza (La Lechera), Friday, 13 November 2015 18:38 (eight years ago) link
Whoa, would love to see that. And Tom Carter! Enjoy.
― grandavis, Friday, 13 November 2015 19:58 (eight years ago) link
Haven't seen Corsano since 2012 or so, and that was solo (which was awesome!). Hope he cruises through here sometime in the not too distant future.
― grandavis, Friday, 13 November 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link
Did not know of Vampire Belt!
― Comme Si, Kamasi (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 15 November 2015 18:27 (eight years ago) link
ctrl+f thread for "Joan" shows me I'm a couple months behind on this one, but: this Joan Shelley record, y'all. WOW.
― alpine static, Sunday, 15 November 2015 19:33 (eight years ago) link
yeah definitely one of the top 3 albums of 2015 for me. pretty much perfect.
― tylerw, Sunday, 15 November 2015 21:46 (eight years ago) link
you guys omgi realize this thread is for more fingerpickin acoustic stuff but vampire belt scrambled my brains last night. i don't think chris corsano has any bones, he's like a glowing ageless alien supported by translucent cartilage. bill nace played sitting down and did all kinds of weird stuff that i can't describe very well because i am not a guitar player. the other guy who played (who was not local, unfortunately) was playing an electrified acoustic guitar and sounded like fuzzed out fricke/fichelscher. i talked his ear off :) idk if they're touring anywhere near y'all but i bought the new record (with change from the floor of my car) and i would definitely recommend it if you've got an appetite for some far out sounds.
