Sure. Happy to see some activity going on in this thread. By the way, Bytor Peltor, you might be interested in this, which I think I didn't post a link to before: It is a great professionally filmed PAL DVD of Low at Primavera Sound Festival on March 27, 2011; of course the Megaupload links are useless now but it still can be downloaded from Rapidshare: http://kigonjiro.com/2012/01/12/low-...ra-sound-2011/ ![]() Low will be performing tomorrow at First Avenue in Minneapolis, as part of the line-up celebrating 89.3 FM-The Current's 7th Anniversary. It's not clear yet if they will stream or archive a recording of the show, but I do hope they will.

![]() I like C'mon and The Great Destroyer and Drums and Guns, but am otherwise ignorant of the band. Those are great albums though. Why didn't C'mon get more press in '11? |

^^ you need to hear their 90s albums. Brilliant, although I like pretty much all of their albums.

Pictures of Low at The Current's 7th birthday party:
http://blog.thecurrent.org/slideshow...birthday-party Streaming audio of a very short interview by John Munson with Alan Sparhawk for the Current's "John Interviews" program in regards to songs that move him: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/col...views_12.shtml Hopefully The Current will have some material of Low's show at their anniversary party, although there is nothing there at the moment that would suggest that. E. Noisefield, I hadn't realized I had a private message from you. Will reply to it soon, I lack the time for that now but I concur with GravitySlips' post above in the sense that there are plenty of treasures for you to discover in their past albums. However, I'd recommend you to not focus solely on the material released in the 90s. "Things We Lost In The Fire" was released in 2001, and is considered by many as their best work. If you enjoyed the last few records, I don't see how it'd be possible that you'd dislike what came before. |

But what I meant to ask was: have you checked out Eric's solo project yet? http://www.youtube.com/user/ActualWolf01/videos http://twitter.com/#!/ActualWolf Alan and Steve are helping him recording his solo album, check the twit pics (dated Feb 1) I hope you don't mind that I'm copying some of your news flashes directly to Low's mailing list, adding the tag "sponsored by Sonic Youth Gossip" :-D (insert some of those :notworthy: smilies here)

Heading up to La Casa Del Sparhawk to record two new tunes for the Actual Wolf Band EP. "Turning 25" and "Cry, Cry, Cry"... Also, excited to start rehearsing that group next week in Minneapolis. YEAH!!!! Just a few reminders... I'll be playing on The Playlist Thursday February 9th @ 9pm. Then I'll be playing the Thirsty Pagan Solo on Friday February !0th. I'll be posting it in events this week. Can't wait to play with The Cavalier Crooks on Saturday at The Beat Coffeehouse in Uptown. It's an All Ages Show and it starts at 7:00pm. Proceeds from the show will help The Crooks to help fund their new recording. Please come out and support live local music. The Cavalier Crooks, the band mentioned by him in that post, has an EP available on bandcamp: http://thecavaliercrooks.bandcamp.com/ Both The Cavalier Crooks and Actual Wolf are booked to open for Retribution Gospel Choir at Turf Club in St. Paul, MN, on February 18th (I would hope that were the first of many shows with the three acts on the bill, that'd be awesome): http://www.songkick.com/concerts/115...medium=partner Actual Wolf covering Neil Diamond's "Cherry, Cherry": http://soundcloud.com/clubhousestudi...-cherry-cherry By the way, I would be crazy if I'd mind that you copy from here and then paste some of my posts over there. It actually makes me very happy that the information gets to reach more people that might find it relevant. And in any case, I'm not the source anyway. ![]()

Listening to the Christmas EP now. It's minus 15 Celcius and covered in snow here. But even in summer times, this is one of my favourite Low albums. Those Cavalier Crooks are quite good, sounds even more like Cream than RGC does.

_tunic_, I do hope it's true that Low will be on Jools Holland when they go back to the UK in the spring. I've seen some dull acts lately, that should change. Lana Del Rey has performed there, but not Low.
Yeah, "Christmas" is a great record no matter the context. Hope you are enjoying the winter. I've been watching European football today and sort of feel sorry that those guys have to play under those conditions. Brrrr.... It's kind of hot here in Mexico, but maybe I'll give "Christmas" a spin today as well. I also found The Cavalier Crooks very enjoyable. Also, I think I read somewhere that Eric Pollard was recording something with another band from Duluth called Manheat, but I just can't find a link to prove it. Anyway, a video of The Murder Of Crows' encore at The Amazing Grace last night, recorded with an iPhone is now up on youtube: http://youtu.be/x_iKrD57Xp8 |

The Playlist's special episode on Low is now available for streaming at:
http://www.wdse.org/shows/playlist/w...n-3-episode-18 Low benefit concert for Life House on The PlayList. The band includes lead vocalist, songwriter and guitar front-man, Alan Sparhawk; Mimi Parker lends her talents on drums and vocals; and Steve Garrington adds rhythmic bass guitar and keyboard. Low’s music is often referred to as “slowcore,” a subgroup of the more widely known rock music genre. While the group isn’t a fan of that label, they were one of the first bands to adopt and popularize this music style. Discover the band’s roots, minimalistic approach to music and the personal stories of these talented musicians in this special episode of The PlayList. This past fall, Low and Charlie Parr joined forces to raise funds, and awareness for homeless youth of the Duluth area. These two powerful forces offered a night of music in support of Life House, a local program that assists youth in escaping poverty, homelessness, and abuse. All proceeds from the concert directly benefited the lives of at risk/homeless youth through Life House’s “Adopt-A-Kid” Program. Last night's episode was about Eric Pollard's Actual Wolf, should be up in about a week, I suppose. |

Low's John Peel Session, recorded in May of 1999, is available for streaming at BBC 6 Music's website (only for residents of the UK, apparently):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00p2fl0 Please, if someone can rip the .mp3s and share them through Wetransfer or whatever, I would appreciate it greatly. The first song, "Liar" (not "Lair" as listed on the website), was formerly thought to be lost, according to Alan Sparhawk. EDIT: Actually, I just went to take a look to trustlow.com and I'm now certain it wasn't "Liar" the one song that got lost from this session. According to Alan, they played also a version of "Last Breath" on that session, but it got erased by accident. In any case, "Liar" remains such a treat as it is still a rarity, I don't think there's evidence of Low doing many more performances of this song. |

Thanks a lot Stu!
I listened to it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01bqthg The next track played after Liars is a fine cover of Death Valley '69 (not by Low, but some other band).
