How's the new Moon Duo album treating those that have it so far? I normally snap up their stuff when it comes out but have hesitated this time around as it's not really grabbing me. More of the same but with more synths and a 'cold wave' vibe but it's not hitting like their earlier releases. plods ...

I considered the boxset too, but it's over twice the price of the 2x LP. And I'm sure I've already got MP3s of the Peel Session and EP somewhere.
Now if only they could do a few more gigs...

'In the Garden' & the Drifters Sympathy podcast got me digging into Holy Sons' back catalogue, but a couple of other things too: Moon Duo - Occult Architecture vol 1 Lift to Experience - Texas Jerusalem Crossroads (2xLP reissue) Holy Sons - The Fact Facer Holy Sons - Fall of Man Grails - Chalice...

^I find it confusing too. I don't see how any of it can be defended. Strong vetting was already in place, and clearly effective. Tbh I am confused about the antagonism towards Iran - in fact that was one of my main worries if Hillary had been elected, the Middle East doesn't need any escalation and ...

I think I actually preferred Bo Ningen overall. they were a nice bit of gonzo psych rock, some pretty heavy moments and throwing some rock shapes. The singer had this strange signing style that's almost rapping at times. The end of set blowout was great, lots of feedback and standing on top of amps...

That would have been around the time he visited the UK and Europe showing some of the Alan Lomax archive. I attended in Glasgow, interesting night.

I only started keeping my ticket stubs after moving to Glasgow. I did collect a few setlists back in Paris and would have kept some festival wristbands etc. Back in France there was effectively a single ticket outlet with a single ticket design, I definitely envied the paper tickets of all colours f...

Calexico & Friends, Royal Concert Hall, part of Celtic Connections. I have a friend who quite likes to go to one or two Celtic Connections gig every year, and as I'm not a huge fan of the more traditional stuff, I suggested Calexico. I'm not overly familiar with their catalogue tbh, neither did ...

Travelling to Nottingham for the Six By Seven reunion gig on March 4th.
Their plan is to play all of The Closer You Get + extra set.

Then back in Glasgow
Grails
Moon Duo

I don't think Grandaddy are going to add a Glasgow date? I hope there are still tickets for the Edinburgh gig.

Hey all, it's been a while. It's going to be a short list as much has failed to really excite me music-wise for quite some time. Or that was so until 6-8 weeks ago. I didn't go to that many gigs this year, but top credits go to Wolf People for an excellent gig that made me realise how much I'd misse...

I'll soon be off to get some sun too - but not before I see SFA at the Kelvingrove bandstand tomorrow night

Hello, it's been a while:)

Gideon Coe played it on his BBC6 show last week, http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05yy6ns
It's not going to remain online much longer so I captured it and uploaded it

I really like it. It sounds like a re-arrangement Jason could have done himself!

flokie

Yet to pick up the 2xLP - and hoping shops here have the ltd purple edition, else I'll order through Piccadilly recs. I was a bit underwhelmed on first listen too, I agree it seems to be a grower. I felt it maybe sounds a bit 'too 80s' in parts, but there are some very strong songs on that album. I ...

flokie

I wish I could afford the boxset but it isn't an option right now. I really enjoyed Separado! so I'm looking forward to the movie too.
And 'American Interior' - the single - is brilliant, it could well be my favourite Gruff solo single so far.

flokie

I'd heard good things about the first season, and was going to catch up on the French/UK version but s2 came on and I just followed that, it wasn't 100% perfect and the last twist was possibly one too many, but I think that overall I enjoyed this more than I even did the Killing.

I followed the Pitchfork link to Spz+Kid Millions on Soundcloud and then left it running, and fell upon this: https://soundcloud.com/solar-motel-band/sets/solar-motel-band-09-13-2013 which I'm liking a lot on a first listen!

I don't even want to but the BBC are making me hate curling. Hours and hours and hours of coverage. Press the red button, and one of the two channels will be curling too. Biathlon is being utterly ignored (ok no chance of medals for the Brits but that's not stopping the BBC from showing other discip...

I've never exactly been a fan, but I'm finding myself enjoying Beck's Morning Phase very much. I usually find him really hit and miss, but he's good when he goes downtempo and more mellow. I really liked his cover of John Martyn's Stormbringer and a lot of Morning Phase is in a similar vein. rIvDO4p...

Hah I found myself reading this article earlier this morning and I tend to agree. I never found Spiritualized crowds to stick out as particularly loud - one exception perhaps was the Edinburgh gig in 2011 but that was an odd one, and people were taken aback with the setlist being SHSL from start to ...

flokie

Beach House, Youth Lagoon, Antlers, Mutual Benefit aren't exactly obscure either. It sounds pretty cool, so I hope there's an LP too, not just a collection of 7"s. And while I knew Io was a moon of Jupiter, I had to look up Miranda: it's Uranus's closest moon. There, I learnt something new today!

Not South America exactly, but Lorelle Meets the Obsolete from Mexico (Guad) are well worth a mention too:

And yeah, I enjoyed myself at Loop. At times it was a bit embarrassing, but fucking great. Hah, you didn't see me dancing to Goat! Glad to report the ATP weekend was also a good work-out for the office christmas night out. I mean I didn't grow up in this country, but I still managed to keep up with...

ooh great news, definitely hoping for a UK tour too.

After shamefully missing pretty much all of the Loop set at ATP, I travelled to Edinburgh for their gig at the Liquid Room last night - I probably would've been kicking myself for months otherwise! Glad to report they didn't have an off night, excellent gig. Soundhead could indeed have had a bit mor...

It was a smashing weekend and great to meet you guys! It was a long journey back and after sitting on a bus + 5 trains I was happy when I finally got back home at 9pm. Highlights for me were Goat and Follakzoid. Goat were all I expected and more, I was down the front at the start and people were rea...

Oh and while I hardly listen to them on record, Shellac are fantastic live.

There was plenty of room to dance about at the Omar Souleyman gig at the Arches on Sat. and that's how it should be

At least it's easier for me to just pack a decent dress instead of a formal suit. And it could be worse, they could have wanted us costumed up instead!

I've been wondering, is there anyone else here going who had also been to the first ATP in 2000?

Haha I'd missed the last night dress code announcement. I might have to pack a suitcase instead of a smaller travel bag now

I hope the stage times get announced soon too - Follakzoid play in Glasgow on Nov. 26th, and I may go to that depending on who they clash with at ATP.

Film night, not a gig, but as it's all about Mississippi recs and the Alan Lomax archive it may deserve a wee mention here. Details over on the art/film forum. "I don't feel at home in this world anymore" Glasgow, Glad Cafe, June 27th.

It's a fantastic line up.. I really need to get my summer holidays sorted and see if I can find the time and money for this, as it's highly unlikely all the bands I've never seen but would like to see play Scottish gigs too.

Going to try to sound out a few more pals, but if that's not happening I'd definitely be up for an outpatients chalet! I should know by the end of the week.
I was at the first ATP, only been to a couple of them since, but with that lineup there's no way I'm missing out on that last one

I was at the Stag & Dagger festival yesterday, mainly to see Wolf People - great to see them again, and glad they played a bit longer than planned. My other highlight of the evening was Bill Ryder Jones. I only knew his latest single and I never really listened to the Coral, so a bit of a discov...

Marc Riley played a session they recorded in 2010 on his BBC 6 music show yesterday. I miss how easy going they sounded back then! Bo Ningen were also live in session, so there's a programme worth hunting on the iplayer.

A load of RSD releases, only two of which I actually bought. Carlton Melton - Live Europe 2012 (Cheers Olan). Bought this. Glad I did. Moon Duo - Circles Remixed. Hmm...Bit dodgy this.

Ticket bought, but it pained me to hand over â‚¬25. That works out around Â£21.60 sterling. Am I alone in thinking that's way overpriced?

Is there no love for Wolf People on this board? 'Fain' is a step up from 'Steeple' and that was already very good! They clearly go back to classic rock and folk, some psych elements, and some heavier sounds, complex song constructions too. I find they just keep getting better and better - this time ...

+1!
Got in a bit later than I'd hoped and only caught the Cosmic Dead's last song unfortunately, went back upstairs after half a song by that band who shall remain unnamed, and thoroughly enjoyed White Hills!

flokie

I have but it didn't do much for me either. But then it's also a matter of my tastes evolving etc. In fact I preferred a couple of tracks off the remix album (the Soft Moon's remix of San Pedro!).

flokie

Ah I didn't see the full conversation, but that's definitely the impression I got from Twitter.

I've now given it a couple of listens, the White Manna track is epic! And it's not often I enjoy (or even tolerate) saxophone, but it's extremely well used there.

Clinic and MBV in March, ...Trail of Dead in April. White Hills in April very likely too.

Surprised no one is mentioning how it sounds a lot like a reworking of LAGWAFIS. That's the first thing that hit me at the gig. Not my favourite. I always like the idea of Jason revisiting older songs, but taking elements of LAGWAFIS for a bittersweet poppy song is a tiny bit underwhelming in my eyes.
