finally going to get around to prariewolf and really enjoying the acoustic stuff davis! always love a singing bell. cover art is great too, i've indulged in takis a little bit lately as well. and agreed that alexander is one of the best. his almost-handmade s/t LP is one of my treasured possessions

So stoked for the Prairiewolf record! Glad it's coming out on CD too, ready to pre-order it when it pops up.

nice, can't wait ...

Aww hey thanks for taking a listen UMS and Global. Glad you enjoyed it. The Takis are courtesy of my bandmate/friend Tyler from Grand Banks. They were delicious hah hah.
I have that Alexander LP, I still listen to it frequently. A wonderful record. And yeah that is great news about the Cassini record! Look forward to all the thread-related albums coming down the pike.

That Grand Banks is on my list now, thanks folks!
tyler - any word on when this is going live for pre-order? I don't want to miss my chance!
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 11 April 2023 21:37 (one year ago) link
i don't think there is a preorder for the vinyl/CD, it'll just go up for sale on the next Bandcamp Friday, I guess? May 5!
― tylerw, Tuesday, 11 April 2023 21:55 (one year ago) link
cool! was just curious, wasn't sure if they'd put it up before the release date or something. either way, i'm on it!

sounds great — i keep expecting Hayden to take a total left-turn, but I'm kind of glad he's zeroing in on making the perfect guitar record.
― tylerw, Thursday, 13 April 2023 18:07 (one year ago) link
Hayden's song is very much of a piece with the new North Americans record, which is very very nice. https://northamericanszone.bandcamp.com/album/long-cool-world

Hey all, I've fallen really behind here but looking forward to checking out all of your great music you've been discussing lately.
Anyway, Glenn Jones is itching to book some more gigs (per catching up with him this morning). So on his behalf, does anyone have any good leads? Not sure how far he's willing to travel without a corresponding string of shows lined up along the way, therefore maybe the closer to New England the better to keep it somewhat local for him. Let me know!
― But his face would not turn into hot Kirby (Evan), Friday, 28 April 2023 18:06 (one year ago) link
maybe ilxor Scott Seward who owns John Doe Jr in Greenfield MA? you could call him? I know they have had shows there before, or he might know someone.
― Perverted By Linguiça (sleeve), Friday, 28 April 2023 18:08 (one year ago) link
Good tip! Thanks
― But his face would not turn into hot Kirby (Evan), Friday, 28 April 2023 18:10 (one year ago) link
Hi Evan. I have set a show up for Glenn in Charlottesville, Virginia, before, and he has played here at least a couple of times (I opened for him many years ago before booking him). Not sure he would be interested, but if he decides he wants to head that for down the coast I am happy to try to help. I think he was disappointed a bit for each show at the turnout hah hah, but I mean that may just be how things go (this is a small-ish town and there are only so many "heads" at any given point that come out).
― grandavis, Friday, 28 April 2023 19:28 (one year ago) link
Thanks grandavis! Yeah he definitely benefits from a strong co-billing no matter where he plays I think.
Weird I tried calling Scott's store and it keeps ringing a few times and disconnecting, but a different amount of rings each time which indicates to me there is someone manually rejecting the calls. Don't worry Scott, I'm not going to ask if you have any Taylor Swift RSD records left...

many worlds collide, I am also friends with Michael Klausman because of music and poetry stuff, he is an excellent person. Gave a reading in Richmond on Sunday, a young guy named Rowland Taylor opened up the reading with a nice tune that reminded me a bit of some of the more ponderous Joseph Allred moments of recent. Nice guy too! https://rowlandtaylorfp.bandcamp.com/album/a-righteous-man-falling-down-before-the-wicked-is-a-troubled-fountain

Cool review of the upcoming Prairiewolf record over at Raven Sings The Blues, so stoked to hear the whole thing. Gettin' ready to click order so fast on Friday.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 2 May 2023 19:13 (one year ago) link
Will have to check Rowland out. If he is a Richmond guy he will likely swing over to Charlottesville sometime soon.
― grandavis, Wednesday, 3 May 2023 13:09 (one year ago) link
This will be amazing if you are in London. Great to see Blackshaw doing a show

i'm not sure if people here are aware of kevin mcfadin and his label sunrise ocean bender, but he sadly passed away unexpectedly earlier this month. the label was putting out some very fantastic psych stuff that leans towards this thread so thought i'd share. his partner in label kevin moist (deep water acres) said he's working with the family to get access to the bandcamp/etc. might be worth checking out to support his family, who i'm sure would appreciate knowing he reached people all over the world. i've been in correspondence with kevin moist and will share any details here
they also shared this- WRIR has some great community radio
If you would like to show your support for Kevin, please donate to Richmond Animal Care & Control (https://www.rva.gov/animal-care-control/donatefoundation) and/or WRIR (https://www.wrir.org/).

yeah, very sad! seemed like a great guy ...
― tylerw, Monday, 8 May 2023 21:46 (one year ago) link
Ah yeah, that news was tough. I only knew him through the record you put out, and his radio shows (which were very good, truly played things I have never heard of and seemed to boost a lot of up and coming folks not just heavy hitters). I have friends that were buddies of his in Richmond, he was clearly a well loved guy, just sad all around.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 9 May 2023 17:10 (one year ago) link
yeah very sad, sounds like a really great person who did a lot to surface cool music

Aw man… some good stuff on that label. I didn’t know Kevin Moist was involved. Ever since we first met on DroneOn 30 years ago, I always make note of what he’s doing, zine or label

Really like this Elijah McLaughlin Ensemble record— maybe a little too ECM-y for these parts but fits the bill for me https://aelijahmclaughlinensemble.bandcamp.com/album/iii
― Goose Bigelow, Fowl Gigolo (the table is the table), Friday, 26 May 2023 14:24 (one year ago) link
I really dug the Elijah McLaughlin record, tabes. Nice one.
Coming at things slowly as ever, the Jake Xerxes Fussell album from last year is just gorgeous. His catalogue is quietly magnificent.

Hope everyone has been holding up well, still check in every now and then to see what has been going on. The new Gunn Truscinski Nace has officially released, though Three Lobed was shipping early as mine came through last month. Have been listening a lot to that one plus the new Pedigo. I think Pedigo's two Mexican Summer releases can really be held up as a nice pair. For older stuff, I must have missed this Gunn one-off project back in 2012 called Central Living, with Manuel Padding, for Blackest Rainbow. Loose and droney, it's been put on archive.org.
Cameron Knowler and I are doing the third run for his book right now. We originally put it out back in late 2021 but did an updated edition earlier this year. I think it's in its final form at this point, as we've kind of obsessed over every detail imaginable. Cameron has since connected (in-person) with Norman Blake after sending him a copy, which has been wild to watch. There'll be a new album sometime in the future, it's good stuff.
