a lovely dinner

[Lady E]

i went to my friend jason's last night and he made amazing food and we played records from his extensive collection.

terry riley - you're no good - has anyone heard this???? its a motown type soul track made in 1967 with loads of electronics that lasts about 30 mins and gets incredibly twisted and delayed and fucked up and then comes back and ...well its the freakiest track ive ever heard and made me think of jamie lidell and what he may be hatching in that studio of his.

we also listened to Rumours by fleetwood mac covered in full including cover photo by a guy called Dougal, who jason thinks is Domino related - which was WICKED.

a sonic boom 'music that inspired spacemen 3' compilation

two john fahey albums

the pentangle - reflection

and loads of other things.

it was brilliant.

[Goonie]

[i've also just remembered discussing fleetwood mac with yer_maw at 6am on sunday morning]

[Lady E]

[mr franks]

[thomas hooked]

i don't know much about john fahey but was really blown away by that last one on revanant. any other suggestions?
currently listening to a track by juan molina- can anyone tell me more about her?

and fleetwood mac will always occupy the warmest vault of my hearts libraries

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

Peter Green rocked....

john fahey 4 life. funny you should mention a lovely dinner, coz that's exactly what's planned for tonight, my gf and I are having over a good mate and his new flame, who hopefully is as nice as he is.

I love eating good food at home and listening nice music to it, tonight we're having carpaccio, salmon cannelloni and some nice desert, traditionally it's always been a blast when my sis comes over as well coz she's a lean mean sushi making machine...

[tsr_tomas]

wow, just picked up "You´re no good" brilliant track!
thanx for the awesome tip emma!

[May Kasahara]

My opportunities to have a nice dinner are a bit limited at the moment, we can't use our overn or grill as we think there is a dead mouse stuck inside (a foul stench emanates from the cooker back every time one of these devices is used, making it impossible to enjoy eating what you've cooked). So it's hob-only cookery till we can get it fixed, which sadly means that every night I eat my own body weight in pasta.

Been listening to a lot of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue while making tea - it's a laff riot.

[thomas hooked]

it certainly is. and tsr thomas, where did you find that track? no luck this end

[tsr_tomas]

thomas: found it at the 2:nd hand shop.

Pentangle RULE. I'm going to the Cambridge Folk Festival this year, and I'm stoked that Bert Jansch is going to be there.

Anyone who digs that crazy fingerpickin' needs to check out WARP's new signing Gravenhurst play live. His album is ok, but a touch blandly produced, but live with just him and his acoustic guitar, he is MINDBLOWING.

I'm having a nice dinner too - top top chinese food from Mr Liu's on Lordship Lane... any of youse in South London need to check it out, the lemon chicken is heavenly. Yummy food, some cloudy Somerset Scrumpy, and John Martyn on the stereo. Super.

@Thomas: Juan Molina was a popular TV comedienne in Argentina, I think, with a show that was syndicated right through Latin America, but has given up her career to make experimental music. I forget, is she on The Leaf Label? It's quite nice stuff, clattery electronic/sampledelic beats and acoustic songs, sort of on the borders of folktronica.

You're No Good is amazing... Riley didn't make the original soul tune - that was plundered from an original recording, and he mangled it with tape manipulation etc. There's a detailed description in last month's WIRE 'state of song' issue.

Incredible isn't it. The techniques are sort of based on his incredible piece 'Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band'.

I have to say the best Riley I've ever heard is 'Music for the Gift ' which is a 'remix' of Chet Baker from 1963, its on a very similar tip with the delay stuff that you mention, incredible organic and evolving rhythms:

"As source material for his composition, Riley recorded Baker's Quartet in an arrangement of Miles Davis's "So What" at the ORTF. The Quartet was recorded together as well as separately. Riley then subjected the recordings to his time-lag process, stretching the tape across the play head of one tape recorder and the record head of a second so that the two machines created a perpetual feedback and the composition was created in the edited accumulation."

It's one of those pieces that makes your jaw drop, I first heard this with Hardy Spymania at the ICA, it was played in the interval at a film night featuring Tony Conrad films (I think). We were both blown away by it.

All of the pieces mentioned above are available from the Cortical Foundation http://www.cortical.org/spores.html

excellent, i shall dig that out and have a read.

i did wonder if he had made the tune...see someone like jamie could do the singing and the tune and all the manipulation. im expecting big things from that boy!

[Lighter Thief]

I was expecting to find an amazing new recipe on this thread.

[thomas hooked]

tomas, thomas would really, really like that track.
vknid- i had heard that she used to be a comedienne but find the delicacy of her material a little incongrous with the thought of her as a kind of argentinian victoria wood. domino btw.

it is actually just pentangle. I am not being a music snob i just know because i was actually talking to my mother about them last week referring to them as the pentangle and she corrected me.

but terry riley rocks. that whole 60's ny avant garde is great

its not, on some albums its 'the'. i know because the friend whose house i went to is a pentangle completist and he had all their albums, plus every bert jansch album. i saw them and clearly on some they were called 'the pentangle'. which i think is a better name.
