Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

@popvulture I’ve read about Jeff’s preparation for AGIB and he took guitar lessons I think (memory fails me from whom) to become a better soloist. I think his wife gave him the lessons as a birthday present? Anyway agree totally about his solo.
Have you guys listened to any of the stuff Nels has done with Julian Lage? Beautiful as well.
-
Ooh I have not. My GF got me that Julian Lage record for xmas though, the new one with Bill Frisell on it. Fuckin hell it's pretty.
-
@popvulture and truly “Impossible Germany” is easily one of the best live performances I’ve ever heard. I’ve seen it live multiple times and the guitar solo and crescendo that follows always knocks me out.
-
@SKT YES! They've played that live every time I've seen em since SBS came out, and I think people pretty much demand it at this point. It's been so damn good every single time.
Slightly off topic, but couldn't let a pic of This Year's Model pass by without saying that Costello's another person I could talk about all day. Took this crappy pic of my records just to give a nod to the bandwidth that guy takes up on my shelves. I'm eternally obsessed.
-
@popvulture Dude that’s an amazing collection! This Year’s Model has been one of my top five albums since I started listening to music as a kid. My copy is my dad’s from ‘78. I was basically brought up on that album. I need to fill in the gaps from the rest of his career though.
-
Man I've done a little bit of High Llamas but have never taken the dive. They've always been on my list — this is good motivation.
-
@popvulture everytime I see his name on a record for production I can gauruntee I'm going to love it
Most recently Healing Potpourris album Paradise and Peel Dream Machines album Pad
Both released last year -
@popvulture Those Unwound boxes are A+++. Just saw them in NYC a month ago and it was fantastic. I hope they come around again with a new set of old songs.
If anyone's interested in some modern acid jazz from Brooklyn, check out Sunwatchers. I saw a note from them that they need gas money for their tour! https://sunwatchers.bandcamp.com/album/oh-yeah
-
Ooh I’ll definitely check that out, always into that type of thing. Lotsa good stuff out there these days — Mildlife, L’eclair, Surprise Chef, Felbm some of the ones loosely in that zone that get a lot of spins around here. Checkin out Sunwatchers now.
Oh and re: Unwound, absolutely! Wish I could’ve seen one of those shows. Numero has been doing such a great job with that 90s stuff, particularly loved the Karate reissues. I’d been looking for a couple of those forever and they were just way too expensive before they put those out.
-
@setandsetting the first sentence of the description of Sunwatchers I read is enough to sell me
"Inspired by Terry Riley, Ethiopian and Thai music and the outer limits of jazz...."
-
@GraemeE Cool! They are awesome and very nice guys.
The bassist also plays with Chris Forsyth and the Solar Motel Band: https://chrisforsyth1.bandcamp.com/album/intensity-ghost
