Haven't listened to the rest of that album, it's probably not that good. The intro to track 22 cracked me up though.

And video's of Low's recent KEXP session were posted at

Guess what I'll be seeing tonight, and tomorrow too

Thanks for the Bancamp link. I'll try to check it out soon.

I was about to post the link to the KEXP session. Great stuff. Still a bit disappointed there's no lossless audio floating around, though. By the way, it was kind of neat to hear Alan mentioning Sonic Youth as an influence on his guitar playing in the latter bit of the interview at the end of the session.

Please do not forget to tape. I hope one day they'll make it here.

I received my copy of the golden reissue of "In The Fishtank" this morning. About to crank it open...

My recording of Low @ De Duif in Amsterdam:
Dime or LMA

a splendid night it was, definitely one of the better times that I've seen them. Support act will be shared on Dime some time soonish, as well as the previous day in Brussels

Low is playing Jools right now :-) I completely forgot about it, and was just in time to catch their last song
And they will be doing Pukkelpop which is an hour south from me (I used to work in that town, drove past the site every day) on the same day as Neil Young, and I won't be there... I bet they sold their kids just to be able to play on the same day as Neil

I read that in my mailbox without quote, and thought


WTF


????Justin Timberlake????


but it's 7AM and he's the man of my dreams

Low on Later with Jools Holland. Looking forward to the imminent torrent.

Bitchen! It would be extra cool if someone could make a Low-only DVD (or TS file), though...

[_tunic_]

Here's the full 6GB DVD:

I'll comment if someone would like to share the Low part only

ok, so I couldn't resist testing my new & improved upload speed. And it went quite fast indeed ;-)
This is uploaded in four parts:

1. http://we.tl/ei0fNyWCsB [1.98GB]
This is the live show broadcast, part 1 of 1.

2. http://we.tl/fheRvGmSDE [1.95GB] (part 1 of 3)
3. http://we.tl/HYUUbSb6ro [1.95GB] (part 2 of 3)
4. http://we.tl/s3NuTp2kM1 [181MB] (part 3 of 3)
This is the extended show. You'll need to download all three parts, then extract with your preferred archiver program, such as http://www.7-zip.org/

Info file and checksum are included in both packages. Apologies for the third small part, might have been able to fit it in 2 but I didn't feel like repackaging it all over again.
Links will be valid until 8 June 2013


Enjoy!

Low is playing some more Europe dates before their UK tour in November, in NL, BE, DE, CH and IT.
Check http://chairkickers.com/shows/ for the schedule

And I'm already going to Nick Cave on Nov 12 when Low hits Nijmegen. Might be able to make it to Leuven though

More info about the forthcoming Pitchfork thing:


Low taped a live performance in Noiseland's warehouse last week for Pitchfork. Low's latest release on Sub Pop Records, "The Invisible Way" was produced by Jeff Tweedy. Look for the video, directed by Dan Huiting, on Pitchfork.tv soon.

Well, I haven't been in here in a while.

I meant to stop in an share my experience of seeing both Retribution Gospel Choir and Low in the same few months, but I've been busy at work as HBJ has been talking about Low.

Cheers, man. How the hell you manage to ensure that Low is the second most talked about band on this board is beyond me.

Here's a pretty short but really awesome interview by Brian John Mitchell with Alan Sparhawk, a must read:

That's awesome, _tunic_!
