No, bit out of my usual geographical area. But I love the idea.

Dean McPhee lives quite local to me, and plays around here quite a bit. Worth catching live. The Carlson comparison would have never occurred to me but there's something in it. A similar sense of space.

I caught Guapo at Raw Power and was fairly impressed. I thought I'd seen them before (also with Circle, in Leeds in the early 00s) but they didn't seem at all like the band I remembered so may well be mixing them up with someone else. The best bits for me were the more skronky bits - the guy who played lots of wind instruments including bagpipes was great. Is that Sullivan? I have the first Grumbling Fur album but I bought that more due to Jussi Lehtisalo's involvement, which only seemed to last for that one record. It doesn't sound much like the duo stuff that I've heard since; it is very loose and improvy.

Guapo have gone through a number of musical styles and personnel over the space of 20 years, so possible they sounded quite different. They started off in a post-post-hardcore vein, moved through various avant rock stages, and are now firmly in the area of dense, Crimson-esque psych/prog. Daniel O'Sullivan is no longer with them, not sure who'd be on pipes, Emmett Elvin?
I really liked some of the second Mothlite album eg. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tygtCBMymWA But I remain a bit mystified by the praise heaped on Grumbling Fur, both O'Sullivan and Alexander Tucker have done better stuff elsewhere.

Finally picked up a physical copy of Holger Czukay's on The Way To The Peak Of Normal last week. Used to have it on vinyl 20 odd years ago.
Very odd slinky stuff from ex-can geezer.

Jah Wobble and the Invaders of the Heart doing a session for Marc Riley yesterday. On the back of his 6CD retrospective, redux I suppose. I have always found Jah to be one of the most entertaining interviewees and he lived up to the billing. Did a looser version of Public Image Ltd, plus Visions of You and No man is an Island. Fab er dab er docious.

GNOD's Infinity Machines. Listening to it last night on my mate's good system we decided it sounded like prime Chrome meets Boards meets GY!BE plus an element that, like The Necks, sounds like nothing else. Very impressive.
