Chris Corsano & Bill Orcutt - Made Out Of Sound. Plus its companion 7":

 


"100 Kinds Of Ass" b​/​w "King Size Coffin".

In general, I don't pay much attention to Bandcamp's customer reviews, but somebody wrote a brilliant paragraph about the album: "The interplay between these two is amazing, especially considering the circumstances of the recording. Sky scratching, transcendent modal melodies with Sonny Sharrock and (especially) Tom Verlaine as guiding lights. In fact, when this album is peaking (as it does frequently) it brings to mind those long ago nights when Television would make the Bowery levitate. Great stuff." :cool:

Tom Carter described said "circumstances": "Made Out Of Sound was in fact recorded in different rooms on different coasts at different times, and stitched together by Orcutt on his desktop. Corsano recorded the drums in Ithaca, NY, and (as Orcutt states), 'I didn't edit them at all. I overdubbed two guitar tracks, panned left/right. I'd listen to the drums a couple times, pick a tuning, then improvise a part, thinking of the first track as backing and the second as the 'lead', though those are pretty fluid terms. I was watching the waveforms as I was recording, so I could see when a crescendo was coming or when to bring it down.'"

Fuckin' awesome. Now I want a Richard Thompson album made like this. :)

Amenra - De Doorn

The new Amenra album was released yesterday. Damn fine doom post metal from Belgian. It is their first album that is entirely sung in Flemish language, but just ignore that. You wouldn't understand what they're singing anyway. For most of these type of bands I find the screamo vocals intensely annoying, this is just very intense, and done the right way.

They are also featured on this Bandcamp Daily feature

Quote:

"Tattoo You" was the last great Rolling Stones album...enough people have said it now so it must be true. It came out my senior year of high school and it felt like it was ours. I saw them twice on that tour and they were awesome.

Side two always felt like a unique suite. "Heaven" seemed the most narcotic song in their catalog, even before I really understood what narcotic meant. Oddly, then, one of the few recordings of theirs that doesn't include Keith Richards. Bill Wyman played guitar, synthesizer and bass; Mick Jagger sang and added some guitar; Charlie Watts played drums. I know, weird. "Tattoo You" is this weird outtake rummage sale album, I really love it.

I moved officially into a new home and office this week and this was the first song I played up on the 3rd floor when I got my amp set up. I hadn't thought about 'Heaven' in a really long time. The sun was setting and I was really tired and I played this for about ten minutes and wondered what it would be like to play it longer.

released October 2, 2020

Chris Brokaw: electric guitar.

Fender Jaguar, Nolatone 22 Tango, Analogman King of Tone, Michael Duane 117 flanger, MXR Carbon Copy

Recorded October 1, 2020, Cambridge MA





Sweet mellow music for the Saturday morning with 30 minutes of basically the same riff. Yes I must admit that I am not familiar with the Stones song, I might as well listen to it laters




updated laters:
well, I took a listen to the Stones original, but prefer the guitar only Brokaw version much more!


So now I'm listening to some compilation of old Bowie demos and sessions:
David Bowie - Divine Symmetry (rare and unreleased tracks from 1970-1971)

Hmm, I can't find this compilation on Bowie Station, either by Divine Symmetry (which shows up as a 2CD boot of performances at Madison Square Garden '97, VH1 Fashion Awards '96, and Bridge School Benefit '96) or The Lost Sessions. :confused:

one of my favourite album sleeves
listening to this album streaming from bandcamp on my tablet speaker, which is a bit of a blasphemy


the reason why I love the sleeve so much is that we hardly see that kind of ice buildups over here. It looks like it's photo-shopped but it's real.
At the moment certain regions in Europe have big problems with water though, such as here:



 



I don't live near a big river though

The first Esmerine album is a beauty


but I might as well add that additionally that day I listened to a whole bunch of other Esmerine albums as well as Rebecco Foon's solo album and her Saltland project which I actually liked a whole lot better this time than the previous time I listened to it, shortly after it was released

and i went to listen and it was good! but it was just a couple of tracks. so im listening twice already to their previous album

 


https://ltrrecords.bandcamp.com/album/unabled-form

which is not crosslisted there by artist, took a bit of digging. but anyway some very good ambient sound.

I've been browsing through bandcamp's "classical" genre discoveries today.
These were the picks I liked:

Just getting into this Fontaines D.C. business (extremely late to the party, I know). They sound pretty decent - the fucking Strokes, they are not, thankfully...

This guy Chatten's vocals were driving me crazy - who was he reminding me of?! People are saying Shane McGowan. I say get the wax out of your ears, people. Just because they're both Irish doesn't mean anyway, it dawned on me: it's Lee Mavers via Courtney Barnett. ETA: and a bituva Billy Bragg. Word! Now, if I could only remember where I've heard "Roy's Tune"'s riff before...

The first album (Dogrel) is not just decent, it's bitchen.

Metal Machine Music is prog-rock compared to this. I win the Internet today. ;)

she only uses her voice, a standup bass, some overdubs and occasional background noise. Very beautiful

Glitter punk gold! From the original master tapes come both sides of their rumbustious glam platter. The ahead of its time gender playful anthem, "Cool Dude & Foxy Lady," paired with "Spray Paint Bandit," which was rumored to be banned from local NYC radio out of fear it would incite vandalism!

"We used to compete with the Harlots of 42nd Street which was a group of guys who looked like truck drivers but dressed like the Dolls and wore, like, fishnet stockings over these big muscular hairy legs. They were my favourite band." - David Johansen (New York Dolls)
