On the info trail... (Loosefur, Jim O etc)
 

Any word on new material from the workhorse that is O'Rourke (apart from the drone stuff), Loose Fur, Wilco...? Oh and Lilly Allen.

He released Long night (is it whatit's called?) not long ago but it's a double CD set of older droney stuff. + a new one with Loren Connors which is also older live recordings. I think he's out of it for good now. He 's doing cinema in Japan. Too bad, i love this guy.

he said that there were plans on another drag city release if im not mistaken. its supposed to be the 4th installment to his DC series (bad timing, eureka insignificance)

I hope so. When did he say that though...if it was a while ago im not holding my breath.

theres youtube of him playing with mike watt and nels cline in tokyo from watts 50th birthday i think. hes just a sidemouse tho.

what about halfway to a threeway. i always put these four gems together as the DOMINO albums.

yeah but HTAT wasnt named after a nick roeg movie

plus, didn't domino just licence them from drag city anyway?

"Finally, there's the matter of O'Rourke's new album. Details are scant for now, but he's planning to have it finished early this year." Jan 30, 2008

yes for Europe.

yes heard of that fact but i don't even know who this Nick Roeg is.
will have to enquire and see what these films are about.

Last night I went on a downloading spree after having relistened to Eureka and Insignificance. Finally got Halfway to a Threeway, and Bad Timing. I also got both Loose Fur albums. Does anyone know of any other projects of his that are in the pop realm? I have an album he did with Superchunk that is totally fantastic.

I dont know how involved he was, but he had 'something' to do with Deerhoof's Offend Maggie. Nothing more than inspiration I guess. But like yourself, I love all of those records, so I'd recommend Deerhoof.

Haha, thanks. I already have it. I'll have to give it a proper listen soon.

Quick question: Was "Disengage" ever re-issued on CD?

he worked on a few stereolab records, and gastr del sol is song based, although debatably poppy

old but great:

nice photo. thanks.

is that david grubbs?

yep
