There was this dude on The Gong Show that played a double neck guitar while his wife did the singing. They played some solidly basic 70's standard and his guitar had the worst low-end tone I'd ever heard. It's stuck with me for 25 years and that's the sound I always go for. When I was about 10, I sat in the back of a car while my mother's friend told her in detail what the movie A Clockwork Orange was about, couldn't fucking sleep for weeks (a side note - before we made the drive from Gaylord MI to Cadillac, MI - the driver met with her boy friend in the parking lot of the A&W - the boyfriend the previous night gave her a black eye and as an apology gave her some smoked fish - not to say that the black eye influenced me but it was just the surreal smalltown shit). Also, driving in an elder's car, maybe your Grandma or your friend's Dad and the radio is on the late 70's model car's stereo. The tone is turned far left leaving you with a sound that sounds like it's being transmitted through cotton, serious low, low tone - there was one time where I was travelling with a pal and his Dad through the upper peninsula of Michigan and the radio was on in this big ol' cruiser and it sounded like one of the channels (L-R) wasn't working at the station - you could hear the music but the voice sounded like it was lost in this echo chamber, it was way weird and an airwave phenomenom. I wondered if the other two noticed this abstraction (they didn't) and yeah, it's a serious influence on perception and shit. Other influences are dropping the master tapes in the toilet, gravity bongs and...yeah. Breckmen Duo parking garage sessions. Duke Bliffert, John Olson, Fred Neil, the girl in my Speech class that recorded the music for a dance routine off the TV, Keith Lucas, Lane Kasznowski, Dead C, Vermonster & Twisted Village, Jeff Dunn, Fred Beldin, Mat Polus, Chris Raths, Anne Briggs, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Jesse Harper, Roy Harper, Waylon Jennings, Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, Sandy Denny, Richard Thompson, Strapping Fieldhands, Gene Clark, Sun Ra, Beats, Mr. Beck, Yogananda, Rivers, Mountain Tops, Clean Air, Snow, Rain, Julie & Mani Mars.

The future of the indie music world post-Person Pitch/Merriweather Post Pavilion? We might just be seeing/hearing it in young (freshman at IU) Bloomington, Indiana-based Spirit Spine. (My Old Kentucky Blog)
Spirit Spine spreads his hands with a smile, and between them stretch neon coloured wills o’ the wisps which are arranged around your room most delicately to create a tunnel of halos which ends at a glimmering gate in your ceiling, if you slide inside this path and levitate past the gate you will find yourself standing not in the sad mess of your neighbours’ flat above, but on top of a warm mesa from which you can behold an orgy of orange and red as twin suns set over an alien landscape of ravishing beauty. This is the sound of Panda Bear if he was into Arthur C. Clarke instead of Walt Whitman. (20 Jazz Funk Greats)

CIAN NUGENT 'Childhood, Christian Lies & Slaughter' CD Cian Nugent is a 19 year old guitar player from Dublin who combines squicky pre-war blues, Appalachian string band music, and the Takoma school into a deeply personal style. This cd documents a great live set, produced by Jozef Van Wissem.
Amazing set! Very nice to meet you. Missoula was a blast. A girl that knows you baked a cake that had our band name on it and brought it to us right as we were leaving. What a rad night.
Hi - I just finished a new album called 'Majectial Electical'. It's the upbeat work that I have been trying to produce for the last couple of years and it's finally ready! I think it's album of the year...
