I thought there'd be a comment or two about this new track. No? Hmm. There's a video and everything.

'New in Town' by Thurston Moore

From the upcoming album Flow Critical Lucidity (out September 20). But the album itself is not on Bandcamp, is it? Will it be? Hmm. Anyway, about this track T sez:

“New In Town is an experimental soundtrack utilising prepared guitar, piano, and electronics to create a dance dealing with the gleanings of peripheral vision, the feeling of breath, a focus on alignment, and strength.

The song is about fresh blood. The new kid in school. The new kid on the scene. A new potential for change in an already active community hoping to protect the world from the poisons of power-hungry creeps. The spirit of youth demonstrated in the early ’80s slam pits of hardcore refusing the worn-out expectations of adulthood.”

“On this episode, he talks about how songs by David Ackles, Genesis and Charles Ives informed his development as a musician.”

Farkin' ell. A song description almost as pretentious as the lyrics, almost.

'to create a dance dealing with the gleanings of peripheral vision'
Our Thurston is being a poet doing the poem explaining, my lovely. Don't be rude.

Poetry shouldn't need explanation. He mentions 'the feeling of breath' which I guess is the only thing that makes sense given how close mic'd his vocal takes are these days. It's almost like ASMR for out-of-breath fetishists

JOEL HARRISON with NELS CLINE / BILL FRISELL / HENRY KAISER / ADAM LEVY / ELLIOTT SHARP - A Journey Through American Guitar Music in 33 Tracks (CymbalPress; USA) This week, guitarist & author Joel Harrison is running a summer camp for guitarists in upstate New York, for students or novices to meet, talk and hang other some of their guitar heroes. This is an annual event and Mr. Harrison is also producing a show coming up with some of these guitarists at Le Poisson Rouge (this Saturday, August 24th at 7pm). Mr. Harrison and a half dozen of his guitar-playing comrades choose 33 other guitarists and discuss a song by each of them and what is special about each of the guitarists and songs. It is a great list of guitarists, their songs and their playing. Each chapter is relatively short (around 4-8 pages) and each one is thoughtfully written, no matter who is writing. This book is not just about the guitarists, it is also about the way a musician creates a song or solo and the way it affects us, the listeners who complete the cycle. I’ve read through this book on the train going to and from NYC on my way to and from the store each day. I’ve learned quite a bit about certain guitarists, their music and the way they touch those who do listen. Here’s a list of the guitarists discussed in this book: Arthur Rhames, Pat Martino, Danny Gatton, Roscoe Holcomb, Emily Remler, Allan Holdsworth, Blind Willie Johnson, Mick Goodrick, Jimmy Wyble, Roy Buchanan, Snoozer Quinn, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, David Lindley, “Thumbs” Carllile, Prince, Jerry Garcia, John Abercrombie, Sonic Youth, Ritchis Blackmore, Ralph Towner, Cornell Dupree, Joni Mitchell & Larry Carlton, Willie King, Jim Hall, Hubert Sumlin, Lenny Breau & Chet Atkins, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Elliot Ingber, Vic Juris, Derek Trucks, Dennis Budimir and Curtis Mayfield. A wonderful read from my/our good friend, Joel Harrison. - Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG

This year saw Kim Gordon release her highly acclaimed and envelope pushing second solo album, The Collective. The album garnered praise from fans and critics alike with New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, VOGUE, Vulture, NME, The Quietus, and many more all already calling it one of the best albums of 2024.

The digital deluxe edition of The Collective has now been released, along with the announcement of a physical deluxe edition set for release on 13 December 2024. The deluxe edition features two new songs, the previously released ‘ECRP’ and new track ‘Bangin’ On The Freeway’, which is accompanied by a video directed by Coco Gordon Moore. The limited edition, deluxe version of the vinyl record includes a 7” with the 2 bonus tracks housed in the LP sleeve and is pressed on silver vinyl.

Recorded in Gordon’s native Los Angeles, The Collective follows her 2019 full-length debut No Home Record and continues her collaboration with Raisen (Lil Yachty, John Cale, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Charli XCX, Yves Tumor), with additional production from Anthony Paul Lopez. The album advances their joint world building, with Raisen’s damaged, blown out dub and trap constructions playing the foil to Gordon’s intuitive word collages and hooky mantras, which conjure communication, commercial sublimation and sensory overload.

I've splashed the cash on this even though things I order from Matador do tend to never arrive.

I only bought the track I didn't have. Had to draw the line somewhere... :(

I ordered the first edition on release date: Coke Bottle Green vinyl including a poster signed by Kim. Supposedly it was sent registered, although the tracking number seemed fishy and not recognizable by the USPS website, the record never arrived. When approached about a solution, customer service was pretty poor although they at least refunded my money which I must have used somewhere else on Bandcamp. I hope it's not too foolish to give it another try.
