Kyle Spence is a great drummer; saw him play with J and the Fog at MBV ATP. A more than adequate stand in for Murph.
I looked into this before cos I liked the little Martin (which will be the 000-18) he played on The Martin and Me tour – I tried out some of the 000 Martins. The 000-16 is lovely, tiny, light but with a great tone. The Gibson is super-rare.
Acoustics
1950s Martin 000-18, Gibson CF-100 and Martin D-28 F acoustics with Sunrise pickupslost me at ‘finger lickers’ sorry Ich verstehe nicht (as j Mascis ‘girlfriend’ might say)
couldn’t connect with No Age. Saw em at ATP I think.
I just don’t get the new music. Soft Moon perhaps, they’re Ok.
The track Fireball – can’t argue with that one!
I liked the new stuff when it came out and I played them to death but haven’t really gone back to them, like I do with all the other records (perhaps not Without a Sound so much)
I should add that I prefer Hand it Over to any of the two reunion LPs. But then again I love Hand it Over
The first Witch album was great. Good live too. 2nd one wasn’t as good.
The two J & Fog LPs I really like. J’s solo LP is a good listen too.
And you must listen to 666 by Aphrodite’s Child
😉
Yup. I like older music. There’s was definitely more interesting stuff around during my youth or Maybe yr ears change as you grow older.
Nothing really seems to have that lasting appeal. I’d say my list of this generations bands I like is probably:
Boris
Mew
Witch (obvs)
The teepee records output is quite good
Mars Volta
Battles
Band of Horses
WavvesI reckon most of the newer tunes I like are by older guys playing things heavy.
I don’t get the hipster music of the youth unfortunately.
😉
ha ha – Seventeen Sockets – this is pretty recent collaboration with the drummer from my old band Lord Mongo. Two guitarists, loop pedals and a lot of analog stompboxes. Most recent thing I’ve done to be honest – from August.
Is there still a thread on here where people post their versions of dinosaur songs?
*that link goes to my youtube homepage BTW. I just got confused thinking you’d linked to one my tunes.
So I still don’t know what wiggly is
PS. Matt liked yr new band. And Prog isn’t a dirty word!
Hi Matt
I’ve come back after a while too.
Someone ask if Eggwater is still playing? Sure as hell! I’ll Never give up on that dream.
What’s Wiggly?
