Collection of music related things, arts and odds.
Low-fi Tuareg guitar from renowned Timbouctou musician Abba Gargando. Original compositions and folklore classics from hypnotic electrified weddings to quiet fireside recordings in the refugee camps. Collected and recorded on cellphones, sparse recordings in the medium where he is best known.
Hey now, it’s Bandcamp Monday, and you must check out this lovely slice of Australian cosmic pastoral from Andrew Tuttle. Alexandra is an absolutely lovely collection of instrumentals that are both expansive and intimate, understated but thoroughly transfixing. Tuttle plays banjo, piano and resonator guitar and he’s joined here by a few familiar names — Chuck Johnson on spacey pedal steel and Gwenifer Raymond on microtonal guitar and fiddle. Last week on Aquarium Drunkard, Jason Woodbury reviewed the excellent new Ezra Feinberg record (which also features Chuck); Alexandra is the perfect follow-up.
The brain is like central telephone office and the nerves like telephone wires that extend outward. Scientific temperance journal. June 1913.
REFRAIN: Yes, sign of judgement
Yes, sign of judgement
Yes, sign of judgement
Time ain’t long
I don’t like old Satan
None of his tempting charms
Cheat you out of your Jesus, now,
And roll you in his arms
I don’t like old Satan
Nothing he say or do
Tell one lie to hide his faults and
Tell two to make it true
