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

Haven't read it, but it's nice that p4k is trying to help all record stores in the US sell that one Fahey LP they're guaranteed to have in stock used.

Critics often represent Fahey as a monolithic genius, a savant of syncopated six-string brood and little else. But his career was a sidewinding rollercoaster, prone to shuttle him anywhere a mix of narcotics and nostalgia, alcohol and obsessions dictated. He did Dixieland jazz and hardline blues, mimetic pop and immersive ragas, psychedelic rock and aloof drone.

who says fahey in monolithic?

Hey don't get down on folks for fancifying their sentences with words-that-sound-right

maybe he meant monochromatic

are "banh mi ringtones" and "cummins falls" the same song?
i think they might be
i like the latter slightly better bc it has a more persistent beat

For those compiling your year-end lists, this playlist includes all the available tracks on this thread, organized roughly chronologically in order of mention:

ILM's 2017 Rolling Post-Fahey Folk Thread Spotify Playlist

monolithic: (of an organization or system) large, powerful, and intractably indivisible and uniform.

Think he was angling for the "uniform" aspect here, which I get from the aspect of how Fahey is sometimes written about. Grayson has covered and written a lot about metal, so perhaps that is seeping into all of his writing. \''/

oh haha yeah metal def has a lot of "monolithic" riffs

we're talking about colter wall in the country thread but you guys might dig him (i can't open this entire thread for some reason so can't see if you guys have talked about him already)

Just posted this on the classical thread but, similarly, it might interest people here as well:

Takoma Park very much going to be the place to be (and some kind of nexus of most activity on this thread)come April. Gonna try to go myself, but of course it is only a couple of hours away for me.

coooool

holy shit

Yeah, it is the motherload. Only problem I see is that Friday night seems to be 5 different venues hosting show simultaneously, so there would be a lot of picking and choosing about who you would go see (and who you would have to skip). Always tough to choose in those situations, especially with this many interesting folks laying it down.

Needless to say, if anyone wants to head this way let me know! Would be a good place to meet up and hang.

I really really want to go if i can swing it moneywise....i'll def let u know if i can....

global are you gonna go?

ehhh i think i need to sit it out, planning trek to milwaukee psych fest not long after and have a couple other trips this summer and am getting a little overextended. also this might be some heresy but that might be too many acoustic guitars for even me! jealous of those located closer to

haha, pretty wild — though, yeah, possibly too much of a good thing? that is a whole lotta fingerpickers. (obviously it would be a blast)

hey Fahey thread folks. i am in love w/ this song (by a normally non-instrumental psych-pop artist) and am hoping you all can tell me what instrumental guitarists / American Primitive / whatever pickers might also be down this alley ... and thus up mine:

https://dougtuttle.bandcamp.com/track/peace-potato

i'm not so much looking for similar sonics / production (though that's fine too) more like similar in terms of melodic style, picking style, etc.

i immediately thought of the latest imaginational anthem comp (8) when i put that on, 'the private press' one

okay just fired up that comp and it's exactly what you're looking for, promise

that doug tuttle is really good thanks alpine

he's one of my favorites of the past few years, but just be aware that his three solo albums are mostly perfect Beatles-esque psych-pop ... there's lots of pretty guitar arpeggios (or whatever), but it's usually paired w/ vocals and synths and swooshy psychedelics and stuff like that. but as far as that stuff goes, he's incredible. a bottomless well of melodies. (he also used to be in MMOSS if anyone remembers that band.)

New Sarah Louise!

nice! also pre ordered the tashi dorji/tyler damon live release on family vineyard... they were insane here in mpls, very excited

Man I would love to see Dorji/Damon live. I am sure the record will be cool enough but my guess is that live is the way to go.

it felt kinda legendary

Nice when a show has that kinda feel. Tashi is cool in that he keeps pushing himself via collaborators. Cool player for sure.

nice! also pre ordered the tashi dorji/tyler damon live release on family vineyard... they were insane here in mpls, very excited

maaaan how did i miss that?

The promo track from the Sarah Louise really surprised me. Is there any instrumental guitar on this?

Will look for the Dorji/Damon.

Nah, she sings on every track.

xxp there was a FB invite going around! it was at mirror lab/white page. seems to be the epicenter for this sort of stuff if and when it happens in mpls these days... a couple weeks ago was ka baird/paul metzger/john zuma individual sets and collab. i didn't go but heard great things. (m@tt b recorded it actually!)

love ka baird!
i have been a fan since the peak spires days -- i think she may be the chicago musician i have seen perform most frequently since for a while she/they were opening for everyone i wanted to see at the time
i like her traveling bell songs a lot too
spires has a really cool tape with drummer michael zerang too, it's probably on bandcamp? her stuff is always pleasantly far out. would recommend.

dang I quit Facebook for awhile it's kinda weird you end up very out of the loop

ah damn dude well i'll email you or something next time. you're not missing much otherwise

ka baird was also amazing at drone not drones! they professionally record and release that so for sure check it out when the time comes LL!

did we talk about this ezra feinberg record? i dig it! https://ezrafeinberg.bandcamp.com/releases
also, a new itasca tape over here: https://dovecove.bandcamp.com/album/itasca-morning-flower

new itasca is sounding great — mostly instrumental.

I don't think I can sit out 1000 Rose :) Got to be there for the buds and the family so to speak. It's probably one of the few moments where we (royal we) will get to all see each other in person? All at the same time and place—will be strange and exciting. But Willie Lane? Harry Taussig? Ragtime Ralph said he's going on the Yahoo forum, def will have to say hi to him. Grandavis let's meet up, plus anyone else reading that might be going.

Yeah, still trying to make sure I can get to this, but I should be there! Once I know for sure I will be in touch on how to meet up etc. Happy to do the same with any others looking to make this happen.

I really want to go, financially it might not be possible but if I can make it I would love to meet yall irl

i had a change of heart, see you all there :)

Why is the Itasca recording so hissy after the first two tracks?

Oh, it's just tracks 3 and 4 that sound like that.

Some really nice stuff there.
