hahaha that was a hilarious Larry David American Primitive moment I was trying to figure out what I'd done wrong

new thang from dylan aycock, who is a little underrated, I think (even by himself, judging from the title!) https://scissortail.bandcamp.com/album/guitar-meanderings-ii

the sound quality on the community center recording in the 1000rose dp link is really high quality :)

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 7 August 2018 17:14 (six years ago) link

Would you mind passing on the link to me as well?

I'm working through the community centre recordings now; might come back to the talk and spoken word but focusing on the music. I'm a little envious of those of you who got to see all of this. Some beautiful stuff here. The Peter Walker set was way up my alley. The Glenn Jones/Susan Alcorn duo also really good. A little surprised (in a v good way) by how far out the Sarah Louise and Luke (Stewart?) and Susan (Alcorn?) set got.

yeah it really had little to do w/am primitive at all, dug that set a lot (s louise et al)

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 9 August 2018 15:33 (six years ago) link

yeah, the new stuff / two-drummer lineup sounds radical!

this is maybe a little off for the thread, but: https://okazakiwork.bandcamp.com/album/work-complete-volumes-1-6

complete works of Monk for solo guitar ... sounds pretty cool.

tylerw, Wednesday, 15 August 2018 15:58 (six years ago) link

oh wow cool idea

i can't remember the name of the guy but i downloaded this collection of american primitive arrangements of genesis stuff for solo guitar that was dope

yes! thanks!

Peter seems to be back posting avuncular anti-Trump posts on Facebook, a good sign

If anyone is looking to grab the new Bachman or any other Three Lobed releases, today is an OK day to do so. Celebrating 18 years today! Quite a feat:

"18 years, that's how old TLR is as of today. hard to believe - seems like stuffing those first bardo 10"s wasn't that long ago. sheesh! thanks to everyone out there! the code "ufos_are_real" will get you 15% off whatever at http://threelobed.bandcamp.com through the end of the day..."

grandavis, Thursday, 16 August 2018 19:51 (six years ago) link

A lot of good options in that catalogue. Probably still copies of those 3 Jack Rose reissues, along with many other good options of course.

grandavis, Thursday, 16 August 2018 19:53 (six years ago) link

how is there no dedicated Three Lobed thread?

Paul Ponzi, Friday, 17 August 2018 00:57 (six years ago) link

Good question. I mean, they come up HERE a lot, but Three Lobed is broader than this thread tends to get. Such a good label.

grandavis, Friday, 17 August 2018 01:39 (six years ago) link

did you guys all hear fabiano do nascimento's album from last year, tempo dos mestres? he's a brazilian guitarist based in california, his playing is tight, crisp, light & lyrical, it's full of gorgeous and quite varied duets, he's got a lovely voice (top mumbler) and is generally an irresistible cutie. it's easily the best guitar album I've heard from the last few years, it's everything I want from guitar music

ogmor, Saturday, 18 August 2018 13:28 (six years ago) link

no but thanks for the recommendation, will check that out

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Saturday, 18 August 2018 14:54 (six years ago) link

yeah it's lovely

(it's been mentioned a couple times in some threads IIRC)

Dinsdale, Sunday, 19 August 2018 19:51 (six years ago) link

wow he sounds great — thanks for the tip!

tylerw, Sunday, 19 August 2018 21:03 (six years ago) link

wow this is exceptional, thanks ogmor!

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 20 August 2018 17:23 (six years ago) link

I love the old school 60s hard-pan stereo mix

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 20 August 2018 17:23 (six years ago) link

This stops me listening to the orang-asli playing their nose flutes, and frankly that isn't good enough*!

Jokes, obviously, I'm sure I picked up his first record on this thread, and loved it. Didn't know about the second.

*Apologies for any dickish comments during Lattimore-gate.

The shard-borne beetle with his drowsy hums (Chinaski), Monday, 20 August 2018 18:35 (six years ago) link

let's all hold hands and bask in fab's light. the first album is really good but tempo dos mestres is a glistening masterpiece. all these bad boys trying to cook up the gnarliest open-tuned whirlwind to supercharge everything with righteous fury and here's fabiano with the gentlest breeze to make your heart cave in. there's so much joy in it, such clarity to his playing (a v rare quality nowadays) and it's foregrounded so beautifully by the more diffuse/unfocused elements (is this what he means when he talks about the rainforest? I have never been & have no clue), especially the percussion

ogmor, Tuesday, 21 August 2018 17:38 (six years ago) link

would be curious how you feel about the new daniel bachman, as he's sort of abandoned his young hotshot status for more ethereal stuff

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 21 August 2018 17:43 (six years ago) link

he also put these other versions/reworkings on bandcamp - https://fabianodonascimento.bandcamp.com/album/tempos-selection

hard to pick any tracks out on such a consistent record but his version of canto de xango is... the best version? it's sublime, anyway. really adore o tempo too, just the sweetest tune

haven't been able to bring myself to listen to the bachman yet despite yr and global's enthusiasm. i will dutifully report back if and when

ogmor, Tuesday, 21 August 2018 17:46 (six years ago) link

haha american primitive: the toughest job you'll ever love

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 21 August 2018 18:02 (six years ago) link

just recall i said i enjoyed it, not that i think it's the second coming of Days Have Gone By or anything

global tetrahedron, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 02:24 (six years ago) link

New Glenn Jones here. Haven't seen any discussion on this yet.

outside, you're never alone. (Austin), Monday, 27 August 2018 15:59 (six years ago) link

yeah just digging into it this morning on the way into work

glenn's about as consistent an artist as you'll find in the world today, he's so at ease with his own playing

the last passenger pigeon is a standout

only thing that's kind weird for him is i hear some rattling on his guitar that's def. not there on my garden state, almost sounds like a setup issue on the guitar?

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 27 August 2018 16:02 (six years ago) link

xp below the fold, but this is all the discussion I see here so far:

new glenn jones! https://thrilljockey.com/products/the-giant-who-ate-himself-and-other-new-works-for-6-12-string-guitar

very good stuff

sleeve, Monday, 27 August 2018 16:03 (six years ago) link

I like River in the Sky where you can hear crickets and a plane flying by overhead

Bachman has a lot of environmental stuff on his album too, definitely adds to the sense of space

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 27 August 2018 16:25 (six years ago) link

Bachman's new one is terrific, puts a lot of other stuff in this vein to shame imo

Paul Ponzi, Monday, 27 August 2018 17:25 (six years ago) link

WXDU /Three Lobed day party at Hopscotch is upon us (i.e. today). Tons of good stuff lined up, beginning with Bachman at 12 pm. Will post a link to the livestream when I find it (unless they aren't doing it this year, but my guess is they are).

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 14:12 (six years ago) link

Alright, line-up and links here: http://www.kingsraleigh.com/shows/three-lobed-wxdu-2018-annual-ritual-of-summoning-a-day-show/

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 14:15 (six years ago) link

that's amazing it's free! would be fun to go to

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 14:16 (six years ago) link

If you are remote the entire day’s performances will be simulcast on WXDU using a special live feed from NYCTaper‘s Jonas Blank.

cool, maybe these sets will show up on the NYCTaper site?

sleeve, Friday, 7 September 2018 14:28 (six years ago) link

usually some of 'em (though not all of 'em) show up on NYC Taper

tylerw, Friday, 7 September 2018 14:53 (six years ago) link

My guess is some performers are cool with it and some maybe aren't, but its a bummer they don't all end up there. Regardless, I hope to catch most of this live if I can.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 15:01 (six years ago) link

I have made it to a couple of these, it is a good time. Pretty low key and of course the line-up is usually stacked. And added bonus of it being free, which is crazy.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 15:02 (six years ago) link

As UMS noted! (being free that is)

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 16:09 (six years ago) link

Seems like Bachman has a crew there! Not sure who is playing with him, but lots of bells/noisemakers starting this thing off.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 16:09 (six years ago) link

About 10 minutes in and no guitars hah hah. Going full Pelt.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 16:15 (six years ago) link

yeah this is so great...dronetastic

The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 September 2018 16:38 (six years ago) link

Two members of the current Mind Over Mirrors crew apparently (Jamie Fennely himself and Jim Becker of Califone/MoM live ensemble). Also Forrest Marquise, who plays the octotone and other instruments on the last couple of records. Indeed, droney as hell. For those who didn't tune in, it was a single long piece with constant drones going and a lengthy Daniel guitar passage in the middle. Good afternoon listening for sure.

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 16:47 (six years ago) link

Pretty sure it was "Invocation" from the new album stretched out to twice as long

grandavis, Friday, 7 September 2018 17:15 (six years ago) link

mary lattimore + mac maccaughn doing some kinda alice coltrane meditation currently

tylerw, Friday, 7 September 2018 17:30 (six years ago) link

this is super awesome
