was Bull more popular than Fahey at that point? (he looks like the headliner on the flier)

i don't know — i can only imagine the same 27 dudes were buying their records ...

Not to be confused with the 27 million people that bought the Fahey x-mas album

Got the Canyon pedal for xmas. It feels like cheating!
Makes everything super pretty and moody. Watch out William Tyler, here I come!

That looks good — I want to get back with into playing electric again this year ... and I love cheating, too.

it's so crazy growing up there was all the standard Boss, DOD, Ibanez pedal, then old school stuff like Superfuzz Bigmuff, Proco Rat, Crybaby etc
now it's like craft beers there's zillions of them

don't pedals like these kinda defeat the purpose? I mean, if everyone has the same pedals won't everyone sound exactly the same? Like an effects pedal demonstration?
― Paul Ponzi, Sunday, 30 December 2018 01:49 (five years ago) link
no
― global tetrahedron, Sunday, 30 December 2018 02:52 (five years ago) link
All acoustic guitars sound the same too.

I have seen people use the freeze pedal in all kinds of contexts and to different purposes, I think it just depends on the player. I mean, in the 2000s every single guitar player I saw had a Line 6 looper / delay pedal. The bands didn't all sound the same generally, but of course many did if they weren't creative with the pedals (or just wanted specifically to mimic players they liked).
― grandavis, Sunday, 30 December 2018 19:42 (five years ago) link
yeah, the looper / delay phenomenon was exactly what I was thinking of. Boy, that got old quick.

I have 12 nominations left for the ILM poll if anyone has used up their noms and wants any guitar music on the ballot. Lmk.

Whooooa! Marisa Anderson just posted a picture of her in the studio with Jim White. That sounds like an amazing pairing, hell yes to this development.

Yeah this rules. Hopefully a whole record and not just a tune or two, but it will be great regardless I am sure.

― tylerw, Tuesday, 15 January 2019 19:25 (five years ago) link
since it was unofficially (personally) released, i imagine it's prob getting an official release or something? idk just a guess? if i'm otm, congrats global steve!!!!

Nah, he pulled it down and will share some exciting news about it soon. Shifting venues so to speak.

Oh hey, La Lechera was right (sorry, somehow missed that comment). Yeah, sure he will report back soon-ish!

I've been messing around with a 'Soli' playlist. I've arrived at 49 songs. It's probably kinda safe; feel free to suggest/listen/ignore/hurl abuse if you want: Soli/Solo/Solitude

william tyler has written a nice little overview of this evil music
― ogmor, Wednesday, 23 January 2019 15:23 (five years ago) link
Nice! "Cosmic Pastoral" sounds a little cheesy to ever sincerely say but I could see myself saying "pastoral instrumental music" if I needed to refer to all this stuff in broader terms.
― Evan, Wednesday, 23 January 2019 17:19 (five years ago) link
evil music! dunno, i think the most damning thing you could say about the windham hill thing is that it's "inconsequential." but maybe that's wrong, too. there's plenty of stuff on the label that i don't really need to hear, I'm sure, but some of it is definitely worth exploring
― tylerw, Wednesday, 23 January 2019 17:48 (five years ago) link
odd he doesn't mention George Cromarty who was on Winston's label and (imho) the most successful merger of Am Primitive and new agey vibez

yeah ppl throw around cosmic a lot though maybe they mean in the gram parsons' "cosmic american music" vein?
