  1. I dunno. Some friends & people I have great love for are playing, but overall it seems like an elephant gun approach to curation, kind of like Pitchfork. I'm sure it'll be fun for anyone who goes, but I wish these big festival lineups didn't read like overstuffed Spotify playlists. This is just my observation and I'm not trying to poop in the punch bowl, so take my opinions with a dose of salt.

  2. I know this is a little bit of short notice, but perhaps some of you local to the Hudson Valley will be interested in a sort of rangy singer-songwriter evening of music.

    What: Tara Jane O'Neil; Little Mazarn; The Local Third

    When: September 11 @ Tubby's Kingston, show at 8

    $20 doors/$15 advance

    I wanted to let you know about a wonderful concert coming up on September 11, 2024 at Tubby's in Kingston, NY with Tara Jane O'Neil, Little Mazarn, and "The Local Third" who are playing the music of Ida, dressed up to look like Ida, and probably smell a bit like Ida (but aren't exactly performing AS Ida).
     
    TJO has been a big part of my musical life/interests since I was a teenager trying to get accustomed to life & beauty & darkness and all that exists in the world. She was the bassist and a principal songwriter/vocalist in Rodan, who were huge for me (their sole proper LP, Rusty, celebrated its 30th anniversary this year), and later founded The Sonora Pine, Retsin (who joined forces with Ida), and has recorded numerous solo LPs of spindly, rich songcraft and improvisation. She played Tubby's a couple of years ago with drummer/vocalist Ryan Sawyer and it was a blast.
     
    Little Mazarn are from Austin and consist of Lindsey Verrill (ex-Weird Weeds) and Jeff Johnston and sometimes others. Lindsey has that kind of "lonesome train-whistle voice" which cuts through everything. It's music that feels both homespun and otherworldly.
     
    "The Local Third" will be playing music like this legendary album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xaVblDntwU

    Not "Spiritual" enough, too experimental for London Fields Crew.

    Having said that I think "Theme de Yo Yo" maintains its position in a Jazz top ten for the new Jazz cogniscenti. I guess they never looked beyond it very much.

    How cynical am I feeling today...

    all true, and also the rights to do such a set would be a quagmire. Other than the two Pathé/Nessa titles, everything is owned by Charly/BYG, Pierre Berjot (Musidisc - America, Galloway, Carson), and DA Music/Alan Bates (Freedom-Polydor).
