TRAVELIN' THRU, 1967-1969: THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 15
Available November 1

Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash - Watch the Video for Previously Unreleased "Wanted Man (Take 1)"

Quote:

Bob Dylan is releasing the latest album in his Bootleg Series, entitled Travelin' Thru, 1967 - 1969: The Bootleg Series Vol. 15, on November 1 via Columbia/Legacy. It's credited to "Bob Dylan (featuring Johnny Cash)" as it centers on previously unreleased recordings featuring the late legendary country musician. Now one of those tracks, "Wanted Man (Take 1)," has been shared via a video for the track. Watch it below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=iiRMfb3Z9hg

"Wanted Man" is taken from an unreleased session recorded in 1969, with Carl Perkins on guitar. Dylan wrote the song, but Cash performed it on his 1969 live album At San Quentin, which was recorded on February 24, 1969, just six days after the February 18 session that produced the version of "Wanted Man" released today. Cash later did a studio version of the song. This recording starts with some chatter from Cash's wife June Carter Cash.

The story continues: a second serving of delights from the Go-Betweens catalogue

We are honoured to announce the upcoming release of the second installment of the anthology series documenting The Go-Betweens, one of the most beloved and influential Australian groups of all-time. G Stands For Go-Betweens Volume 2 covers the latter half of the Eighties in an ambitious box containing the following...

5 x LPs - Three studio albums from the group's august period on Beggars Banquet plus a previously unreleased double live album recorded in London May 10th, 1987.
5 x CDs - Rare, hard-to-find and unreleased demos, recordings, radio sessions including a collection of 28 songs intended for what was supposed to be the follow-up to 16 Lovers Lane.
112 page book - A trove of archival photos and extensive historical liner notes from founding member Robert Forster - plus additional pieces from guest essayists, fans & contemporaries.
The Liberty Belle And The Black Diamond Express songbook. Prepared at the time of release by their publisher, this is the first ever printing, containing hand-transcribed sheet music of all ten songs from the aforementioned album.

It would be hard to overstate the shadows cast across the musical landscape of the last three decades by the Go-Betweens' self-ascribed "striped sunlight sound". Showcasing the alchemic songwriting partnership of Grant McLennan and Robert Forster, this anthology is sure to provide inspiration to a new generation of musicians while providing a very special personal experience for the existing fans.

This is a deluxe limited package and we will only be pressing this collection once. The only way to guarantee your own copy is to order from us at Domino Mart. The stock is estimated to be delivered to customers at the beginning of December, in time for the holidays.

WATCH: "Streets Of Your Town"

Please note that the initial copies including a book from Grant McLennan's personal literary collection have now sold out.

Unfortunately, we are unable to sell this product directly to Australia and New Zealand. However, customers from either territory can purchase this box set here:

Legends of the pop underground Beat Happening unveil their definitive document

Remastered 7 x LP box set We Are Beat Happening now up for pre-order, including a 36 page book of liner notes

November 29th sees the release of We Are Beat Happening, a box set of the band's entire recorded output. The albums have been newly remastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios and this will be the first time the entire catalogue has been in print in over a decade.

The set consists of six albums over seven heavyweight LPs, with a brand new 36 page booklet written by Lois Maffeo featuring rare & unseen pictures and paintings from the band, housed in a hard-outer box. Revisit Beat Happening, Jamboree, Black Candy, Dreamy, You Turn Me On and Music To Climb The Apple Tree By, all in one lovingly crafted package.

Beat Happening was formed in Olympia, Washington at the dawn of the 1980s by Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis and Bret Lunsford. Whilst they may have played their last show in 1992 and made their final recording in 2000, it's tricky to define their cessation. Along with the music they made and the shows that they played, the band created a connectivity that is still completely present.

‘Ottla’ is the latest addition to our roster, their debut album is due this fall on Unday records (in collab with WERF Records), more on that soon.

Following Dans Dans and Flying Horseman (and the odd solo-venture; see Strand and Transit), Ottla is the latest outlet for the boundless energies of Bert Dockx. He gathered an outstanding sextet with an unexpected – double drummer – line up featuring:

Bert Dockx (guitar)
Frans Van Isacker (alto sax)
Thomas Jillings (tenor sax)
Nicolas Rombouts (bass)
Louis Evrard (drums, percussion)
Yannick Dupont (drums, percussion, electronics)

Ottla's self titled debut album is due fall 2019.

This album is out now, since last week. And it's very good, well to be honest I haven't gone past the first track yet. But that one is so good I just had to hear it twice!

Catch it on this youtube playlist or on bandcamp

Quote:

Ottla is the new band of the sedulous singer, songwriter and guitarist Bert Dockx (Flying Horseman, Dans Dans, Strand). What started as a modest thought, an ambiguous plan to start playing jazz again, spiralled into an idiosyncratic project with its very own identity. It became Ottla, Franz Kafka’s beloved sister’s surname, after whom the young Dockx once christened a bicycle, and later his first band.

Now, once again, Ottla is a band. And much more than a nod to Dockx’s past forays in the world of improv, it’s a new and different beast; a unique hybrid of musical moods and styles. Certainly not a casual exercise, but a very downright, vital sextet which was shaped and moulded under the guise of its instigator, after a yearlong of blowing and kicking up dust in the rehearsal room.

The outcome of said year, the first album of Ottla, sounds playful, mysterious, sometimes fragile, occasionally brute, vexed, but always exciting and intriguing. Bert dialled up producer and long-time collaborator Koen Gisen to capture the chemistry and energy of Ottla in a potent, analogue production. Eight songs made it onto the self-titled debut, six original compositions and two covers - one from Sun Ra, one from Thelonious Monk.
The raw, blues-infected guitar, the deliberate wandering through nocturnal detours, a soft spot for dissonant electronics… they’re all cornerstones of Bert Dockx musical cosmos. But still Ottla gracefully pedals her own distinctive way, with clashing or harmonious brass, two contending drummers, and brazenly roaring double bass.

Jazz? Rock? Psychedelia? Something in between or very much outside of it? It wholly depends on the listener. Or like Monk once said: ‘You're supposed to know it when you hear it’.

Out November 15: Ingrid Laubrock + Aki Takase - Kasumi

Quote:

Jazz as the art of dialogue: two of the great musicians of today's jazz from different continents and generations make music sparkle.

Born in Osaka in 1948, Aki Takase moved to Berlin where her musical partners included Han Bennink, Evan Parker, Rudi Mahall, David Murray, Louis Sclavis and Fred Frith as well as her husband and pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach.

Ingrid Laubrock, born in 1970 in Stadlohn in North Rhine-Westphalia, moved to London at the age of 19 where she studied with the saxophonists Jean Toussaint and Dave Liebman. She has lived in Brooklyn since 2008. In her publications she shows a wide musical spectrum ranging from the quintet AntiHouse to the orchestral recordings of "Contemporary Chaos Practices" from 2018.

"Ingrid is one of my favorite saxophonists," says Aki Takase. "She is a talented player with a lot of technique, very creative, smart and above all I love her dedicated approach to making music". And Ingrid Laubrock says about Aki Takase: "It feels great to play with Aki. She's so unique and the feeling of serious playfulness and communication I'm looking for musically is there immediately".

The album Kasumi presents wonderful dialogues, which radiate joy, wit and warmth or hold the breath in silent intensity, so as not to break the spell.

Does this Sweatshirt person himself say it's a bona fide album? Both Metacritic (critics and "users") and Wikipedia consider it an EP. Now, I've never heard the guy and I just crapped on those who take a look at Wikipedia and then think they're omniscient, so it's an honest question...

Quote:

The duo of Paal Nilssen-Love and Joe McPhee has been an on-going adventure in sound for the last 15 years. The two started playing together when McPhee joined The Thing on tour in 2002, and that was the start of numerous collaboration and constellations over the years. Out of those projects the two started performing as a duo, exploring ideas and the kind of immediate dialogue only the duo format allows.

The previous release by the duo was the Candy 7xCD box-set in 2015, which documented their developement from 2007 to 2014. Such a massive document perhaps signaled that it was a last statement, and there has not been any releases from the duo since then, but lack of releases does not equal lack of activity – and with Song for the Big Chief they finally return.

Song for the Big Chief has a special back story to it: On December 9th 2017 the duo was scheduled to play Cafe Oto in London. They day before the concert news came that legendary drummer Sunny Murray had passed away. Murray's importance in the world of music can not be overrated, and for both McPhee and Nilssen-Love Murray had been a huge influence and inspiration, and in the introduction to the concert McPhee made the announcement that tonight's performance would be in honour to the memory of one the great giants of free music. True to Murray's spirit this didn't meaning playing a night of cover tunes, but creating new sounds and pushing the music into the future.

Music fans will recognize the title and visual references on the cover to Sunny Murray's classic 1969 album Big Chief.

released October 4, 2019

Joe McPhee: tenor saxophone and pocket trumpet.
Paal Nilssen-Love: drums & percussion.

"Old Man River" by by Kern/Hammerstein (Universal Polygram Int Pub Inc). "Knox" by Joe Mcphee (Tuhtah Pub Suisa.)
"A Fantasy for Lester" by Joe McPhee (JOMAC Publishing) and Paal Nilssen-Love (TONO).

Recorded live in concert by
Shaun Crook at Cafe Oto, London, England on the 9th of December 2017. Mixed and mastered by Lasse Marhaug.

OK, this can no longer be treated as normal: since when do albums "drop"? Fuck that! You're whiter and nerdier than anyone on the cover of Crazy Rhythms! Just because some hippity-hopper (I'm assuming) came up with the term doesn't mean we have to repeat it. If you DROP an album, and the thing HITS the FLOOR, it might BREAK, y'know what I'm sayin'?

I've been raving on here about Chantal Acda before. On her previous albums (and live concerts) she worked with guys like Nils Frahm, Peter Broderick and Bill Frisell. On her new album PŪWAWAU she worked with Valgeir Sigurdsson (known for his work with Björk and Feist) and Stef Kamil Carlens (known from dEUS and Zita Swoon), and most importantly singers of Dutch Chamberchoir NXT.

It's not (yet) on her bandcamp, but it is streaming on YT

Compared to her previous work, this is not just a giant leap forward, it's a giant side step out of her comfort zone AND a leap forwards. Release date was 8 November

I normally wouldn't be raving about digital-only releases, but since there's a couple of you liking the Velvets there should be some interest for it. If not, go check your ears ;)
I saw them play these songs around 2008 in a tiny fully packed venue, wouldn't mind at all if they would revisit these songs live again as well.

This is a copy of the latest newsletter of the Betties:

Quote:

Howdy Folks!

November 27 it is exactly 22 years since the Betties played their last gig of the Marlboro Flashbacks Tour at the Paradiso, Amsterdam. That day there will be a digital re-release of the album 'Bettie Serveert plays Venus in Furs' (which contains allmost all tracks of this show), available at iTunes/iMusic (you can pre-order from November 20) and Spotify. This re-release will have 4 extra songs which were played during the Paradiso-show but were not in the original release.

Here's Carol's story:

Back in 1997 there was a thing called the ‘Marlboro Flashbacks Tour’ here in the Netherlands, where they would ask Dutch artists to choose a favorite band to cover. When we were asked, our immediate answer was ‘The Velvet Underground’, because we have always been huge fans.
There had already been a Belgium artist who chose to cover Lou Reed, but we convinced the organization that we were going to do a totally different set.

We did 8 shows in the Netherlands and we played all our favorite Velvet Underground songs. Our last show was on Nov 27 1997 at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. This sold out show was recorded live (on 3 ADAT tapes) and mixed in 3 days time in Hilversum together with Hans Bunt and the cd was released in July 1998. We made ± 5000 cd’s, mostly as a ‘souvenir’ for those who had been to our shows. After they were sold out we never re-released it.

Moe Tucker sent us a letter after she heard our cover album and wrote that she felt homesick for their own Velvet Underground shows. She really liked it. We tried to stick as close as possible to the original versions, but obviously you can still hear that it’s us. Berend Dubbe, Peter Visser and Herman Bunskoeke all sang backing vocals.

To our surprise we recently found 4 extra songs which were not on the original cd: ‘Here She Comes Now’, ‘Guess I’m Falling In Love’, ‘Run, Run, Run’ and ‘There She Goes Again’.

We’re not sure why we never released them. Maybe because you can hear us make a few mistakes?

Regarding the photo of the setlist in the original booklet: we didn’t play ‘Who Loves The Sun’ at the Paradiso, that’s why we don’t have that recording. How ever, we did play ‘I’ll Be Your Mirror’, but something went wrong with that recording.

The entire cd has been remastered including the 4 extra tracks which have never been released before and on Nov 27th ’19, exactly 22 years after that last Paradiso show, it will be re-released on all streaming media sites.

This upcoming digital release is for those of you who didn’t get a chance to hear the recordings or see our shows. For those of you who do have the original cd, there are 4 extra songs you might be interested in.

We hope you’ll enjoy it!

X, the Betties

That's pretty impressive, especially considering that everybody and their Nth-degree relatives have covered The Velvet Underground. (Even though most of 'em have never earned the right to cover the VU. And they got the nerve to wear shades indoors and after dark and shit. Ya gotta EARN the right, you TURDS!).

2019 ain't over yet, sumbitches. Here's a data dump of recent(ish) releases that have not been mentioned - not in this thread, at least. I'm beat and short on time, so no links; if something interests you, look shit up:

Bill Callahan - "If You Could Touch Her At All"/"So Long, Marianne" (virtual-only).

Courtney Barnett - MTV Unplugged (Live In Melbourne). (Which, incidentally, closes with "So Long, Marianne"! The new "Hallelujah"? Hopefully not.) LP and CD out February 2020, but if you order via Bandcamp you get the full album now. The whole program is on YouTube. CB also has a new song out, "Name In Lights", a cover of her labelmates Loose Tooth (the track is part of the Milk On Milk album).

In addition to scoring season five of Peaky Blinders, Anna Calvi wrote a song for the show's soundtrack, "You're Not God".

Sam Phillips - Cold Dark Nights. An expanded and reworked version of Cold Dark Night, which was part of her Long Play project. File under: Christmas music that not only doesn't suck, but it's so good you wanna hear it all year round.

Hammered Hulls - S/T 7". Super-supergroup of Mary Timony, Alec MacKaye, Mark Cisneros and Chris Wilson.

Wye Oak - "Fortune". Hopefully a new album is a-comin'!

Jah Wobble & The Invaders Of The Heart - Ocean Blue Wave.

Mount Eerie with Julie Doiron - Lost Wisdom pt. 2.
