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

i got the electro harmonix 'freeze' recently. i think it will come in handy at drone not drones. it's super cool

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?

no

All acoustic guitars sound the same too.

I mean mine has more soul but the point stands

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).

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.

omg

yeah that is a GREAT idea

OH SHIT...that is...like wow, beyond exciting.

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

Just want to give props to one of ILX brigade's own, new album is great

https://stevepalmer.bandcamp.com/album/2

30 seconds in and I'm already hooked. Can someone from not as far away from me come over and jam in this vein?

where'd steve's new album go?!!

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!

can't believe that global signed to sony

don't forget the little people when you are on your private plane, global!

So cool!

can't believe that global signed to sony

actually Young Money outbid Sony

"Best tape I've heard since early Kottke," Lil Wayne raved.

"Statesboro Day remix (feat. Paul Metzger & Drake)

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

awesome thanks!

steve's album sounded really cool on first listen, I trust that its disappearance is auspicious

it is :)

william tyler has written a nice little overview of this evil music

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.

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

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

cosmic is a bit of a stretch unless you are at popol vuh level guitar shit imo
if that is where we're at, point me in that direction

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

Isasa (from Madrid) was one of the sleepers at 1000 Rose fest....his new thing sound pretty cool, droney am priv w/some euro/spanish influence, unique player

yeah maybe
i never thought that music was esp cosmic either tbh :)

i like spanish influence!

cosmic is a dumb and meaningless word to apply to music anyway imo (except maybe Sun Ra, who gets a pass, being from Saturn and all). I mean, if the definition of "cosmic" music is music that sounds like it was produced by something not of this earth, then Autechre is a million times more cosmic than corny ass Gram Parsons. This is an adjective that needs to die

Cosmic post

lol

lol!

I always took cosmic music as trying to connect with and contemplate the depths of the universe, to aim for infinity. I'd say that's closer to the truth than any connection with farming

a maggot's inconsequential until it's in your apple! fahey insisted that george winston cld secretly play well but never aired the good stuff in public. I think that means they got drunk and had a good time.

big release day! William Tyler and Sarah Louise

new sarah louise is pretty bizarre! (but good, i think)

yeah it's def not a safe record, pretty gutsy to make it just at the point where she seemed to be on the verge of breaking to a little higher level but nuff respect

I think it is pretty clear that Sarah Louise is not looking to win the sweepstakes of instrumental acoustic guitar music. Showing up to 1000 Incarnations Festival and doing an improv set instead of trotting out her collection of excellent acoustic tunes was pretty much a sign of what was coming.

yeah in hindsight definitley, she's really pretty inspirational to me

Oh yeah she is cool and definitely going down whatever roads she wants. Stuff I have heard from this record is pretty wild.

is there singing? cuz I don't really like her singing (/sorry that is just how I feel)

Hey Sleeve, I have not heard the whole record so not sure how much her singing plays a part. I am pretty sure she does sing, but more as a layer / wordless piece as opposed to following on from her song-based vocal stuff. Still, I would need to hear the whole thing to confirm.
