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

[times are EST]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

baird/lattimore is a cool combo

though it's funny man no one really ended up liking that Heron Oblivion album huh? It was almost trying too hard at particular aesthetic

no one liked it? i loved it!

haha sorry! i liked it fine but felt like it just kinda came and went w/o much talk

my older brother keeps a low internet profile but if he was on here, everyone would be asking him to shut up about Heron Oblivion.

i thought it was boring tbh

I tried and failed with it. It just didn't touch the sides on the way through.

maybe i just have an unusually high blown out wah pedal tolerance

i go see them live tho, bet it'd be nice and loud

Yo folks the WXDU stream of that Three Lobed Hopscotch show is happening now!

http://wxdu.org/

75 Dollar Bill just ended ... but more to come!

Oh, linked above already, but yeah, get on it!

Bachman/Toth duo up next!

it's all been amazing so far -- missed most of watery love, but have been pretty into everything else.

Thankfully there will be the NYCTaper archives to get to at some point ....

seems that the toth-bachman duo are covering "war pigs"

Wonder who the "secret guest(s)" is/are. Hear more than two folks ....

meg baird on drums maybe?

Yeah, could be

this is cool

Will have to wait for the NYC tapes. Hell of a lineup, though.

Really nice piece by our man Tyler here:

Sure would like to imagine all of those choice alternate versions of tunes that Jason Meagher is sitting on may someday see the light ....

thanks dude! was pretty easy -- these musicians also happen to be solid writers.
meagher mentioned that there's been talk of pulling together some Jack Rose odds-n-ends (possibly including outtakes) into a comp sometime in the not so distant future. which would be cool!

oh and hey, as a little bonus, check out this great Jack Rose mix of 20s/30s folk/jazz/blues: http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/150357336032/spirit-in-the-house-jack-roses-enduring-legacy

Whoa, thanks! I sure hope Meagher and co. pull that off down the line, seems like a very worthy cause.

can't wait to read that!

also the new Daniel Lanois album is fucking amazing wooooow

does anyone konw who Rocco DeLuca is besides a mob boss in a bad movie?

Bachman/Toth set now up:

http://www.nyctaper.com/2016/09/bachman-toth-band-september-9-2016-three-lobedwxdu-day-show-kings-raleigh-nc/

Psyched to revisit this, was one of the only things I caught in real time but man that was a crazy day and I was not ready for it hah hah. Now know that Ian McColm was on drums! Great dude and great musician (he has a duo tape with Daniel that came up at one point, a really cool guitar/drums set and different side of Daniel's playing, a very cool tape if you can track it down imo).

Marc Masters for bandcamp. Similar approach to Tyler but some different folks weighing (along with some of the same). Nice way to revisit this stuff though:

https://daily.bandcamp.com/2016/09/16/the-blooms-not-off-jack-rose-in-remembrance-and-retrospect/

Some really good stories in both of these! A joy to read imo.

Essentially living in "Sundogs" today. So damn good.

Just listening now. Blimey - a full on string-scraping droneathon. This stuff is shamanic. Making me want to dig out my Pelt records.

Many good reasons to pull out Pelt recordings, but yeah, I love this stuff and what Jack did in Pelt (obviously).

Not to detract form the Jack reissues (which are the most welcome reissues of the year) but I'm surprised there's not more talk about this new Imaginational Anthem comp (discussed some upthread). It's great.

yeah it really is a blast -- i'd be surprised if anyone on this thread didn't love it. wrote a quick thing about it here: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2016/09/15/imaginational-anthem-vol-8-the-private-press/

just put it on about five minutes ago for my first listen! it is great- so surprising that i've literally never heard of any of these people, you'd think the well would have been tapped out by now

totally. speaking of which, this isn't bad either: https://dyingforbadmusic.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-to-leave-behind

i still suspect some hijinks at play there =)

haha, do you think? or do you *know*? is it marcus and pasquarosa pulling a fast one?

i don't know, but it'd be pretty funny if it was!

they wouldn't dare ... oh wait ...

full circle, ha.

i suppose i envisioned these tracks on IA8 to be more rough around the edges, it's surprising how fully-formed a lot (all?) of the tracks are. some have a little tinny sounding production but i suspect a lot of these players had music careers in something other than soli guitar? like these might have been interludes on a guy's vocal album or something. or else i'm underestimating the extent of the private press movement and fahey's influence.

the gary salzman track is by far the standout after first runthrough

Another one! This would probably seem like overkill for most other people, but the fact is people were talking this way about Jack even when he was alive. Nice to see so many heartfelt remembrances here

heh, yeah, it does seem like overkill ... and then i go and read it and love every word.

IA8 is really amazing

like i know people have....mixed reactions to that dude i guess...but man Tompkin's Square has found and released so much amazing guitar music both old and new...like I'd say at least 80% of ppl I feel like are "major" players in the scene now have been featured on IAs and this one is a wealth of old stuff that's great...His taste and ear for this stuff is impeccable.

Agreed. This latest volume is my favorite so far. My current favorite is the Lee Murdock tune, which I haven't seen many people singling out. I'm a sucker for a great melody, I guess!

that one sounded good on a crisp ride to work this morning!

yeahhh, that one has a nice George Cromarty feel to it. so pretty.
i'm going to have to bug klausman about hearing complete LPs of some of these players ...
looks like you can get CDs from Murdock himself: http://leemurdock.com/featured-work/where-the-pinery-narrows/

and on the other side of things ... this tashi dorji / tyler damon duo is sounding awesome: https://soundcloud.com/familyvineyard/tashi-dorji-tyler-damon-both-will-escape

lee murdock seems nice :)
