There's a really cool feature on Anderson in Liz Harris's (Grouper) zine Presence that came out in the last couple of months. Marisa's life is almost too unconventional/hip to believe. Just this perfectly idealized authentic cool artist upbringing. Fascinating though!

xxp I agree, that record sounded totally improvised to me, and not in a g good way

Ahem. I put this on the other thread originally.
I'm basically blaming this thread for not alerting me to the gorgeous new Nathan Salsburg albums. Slowly letting volume 2 wash over me right now. It's sort of a homage to Leyland Kirby, using the ghosts of his vast collection of 78s as a bed for some very minimal guitar explorations. Flailing around for comparisons but in tone and emotional valence it has some similarities with Bruce Langhorne's Hired Hand.
Vinyl already sold out, natch.

thanks for the heads up. have had little to no energy so have barely listened to any music the past 8 months. not great but i cant help it
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 12 January 2021 03:36 (four years ago)
Thanks for the rec Chinaski, that sounds very promising! One in return: the new Matt LaJoie, 'Paraclete Tongue', is beautiful. It's not even his first album of the year though, I can't believe how prolific he is. But it's def hits the "ringing guitarscapes sweet spot", as you so aptly described him before!

I haven't spent much time on social media lately; just job hunting, news watching, that kind of stuff. Anyway, I'm glad I opened instagram this evening and happened to come across a couple folks talking about a newly uploaded live recording of Basho and Fahey sharing a bill in 1967. The download source was a bit obscured so I put on my Dead tape collecting hat and went through a couple known places, ended up finding it on Dime.
I'm still waiting for my new account to get upgraded so I can actually download the torrent, but I'll post the details below. Thought you guys would appreciate and maybe one of you is already registered on dimeadozen to hear it! Looks good nonetheless.

Medicine Raga2. Lost Lagoon Suite3. Song 3 - "Con saab" or "consob" or "Khan Saab" or ????"4. Song 4 (cut)Notes: Basho followed John Fahey at this show. The cassette label indicates this is Set 2.I'm not that familiar with all of Basho's material. Maybe someone more familiar with Basho can help with 3rd & 4th songs. I figured it was better to get this very old recording shared rather then spend forever trying to properly identify the songs.A little background on these recordings:In late 2019, fellow Neil Young fan and Reed College alumnus, Jim B contacted me. He said that Reed College alum Steve Halpern had a group of late 60's/early 70's Reed College recordings of Reverend Gary Davis, John Lee Hooker, John Fahey & Robbie Basho that needed transferring.In 1985, Steve found the recordings among a cache of reels in a Reed College library backroom while researching poet Lew Welch. It appeared that most of the reels were of official college business - board meetings etc, but others were student run campus events including lectures and music. He borrowed a few of the music related reels and transferred them using a reel to reel player from the library's AV dept, to a radio shack "y" cable plugged the reel to reel's RCA jacks into one of those ubiquitous, small, portable Panasonic cassette player/recorders. He doesn't know if the originals were mono or stereo.The library was remodeled in 2008. As Steve was later told, most of the miscellaneous contents of the library was stored in bins in another building while the remodeling occurred. Steve thinks the reels, many of which had no labels, may have been discarded afterwords.

Oh wow thank you, v nice — looking forward to that!
Funnily enough, not unlike tonight I went down a different spiral where I was able to track down a BBC Radio 1 Maida Vale session for Brightblack Morning Light in October 2006. I had to signup on a dance-oriented DJ set trading forum as that was for some reason the only source for it. I'm going to put it up on youtube sometime soon.

I put the Reed College show on youtube if it makes it easier. There is a guy on the FB group named Duane that really knows how to dig up old show bills from newspapers, using like microfiche archives and stuff, but it was a no-go for any kind of flyer from this specific show, unfortch. He did have a cool scan of Basho's business card that I used though.

i'd always been curious how much of basho's raga material was compositional vs improvisational, this take of lost lagoon suite suggests a note-for-note composition, pretty interesting to hear. not as versed in live basho as i am with fahey however
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 4 February 2021 16:55 (four years ago)
i know, separate the art from the artist (and god knows fahey wasn't great) but i think i keep basho at a distance because he seemed like such a fuckin chooch
