i'll start this post off with a thank you from one side of the globe to the other....thanks Maura (& Andy), I had no idea there were gummi bears in that bag with the Rogue beer you brought over the other night. that was awesome!
the list continues with a pretty ridiculous compilation and if you were one of the lucky ones to get a hard copy of this, well, i'm hella jelly.
Three Lobed Recordings released the 4LP box-set, Not the Spaces You Know, But Between Them, in August and in less than a month the 700 copies were sold out.
Welcome to Bummertown, population: 1.
Sonic Youth, Eternal Tapestry, Bardo Pond, Sun City Girls and more appear on this comp and in true fashion for most of them, it's no surprise that there's no track breaks on some sides of this 8 sided set. almost 50% of these songs are 10min +. read about it here. it's a pretty cool story.
oh yeah, all artwork done by Casey Burns, yeah, no big deal. fucking awesome.
having already mentioned Eternal Tapestry and Bardo Pond in short, i'd like to elaborate a bit on the web of psychedelia i found myself immersed and engulfed in when i succumbed myself to the wondrous world of Aquarius Records. my god, that site rules me. if you're still reading this after that link, well, i'm not really sure what and why and who or where you are. i can read that site all day, and actually most all sunday mornings are spent doing just that. coffee, aQ, coffee, aQ, repeat, nap, coffee, aQ, food, bed.
anyway, i'll start here and hopefully you'll follow along in the entanglement:
Bardo Pond/Carlton Melton split LP (aQ puts it best with this quote, legendary Phillie psych rockers Bardo Pond, prove to be the perfect match for Carlton Melton's slow burning laid back psychedelic drift. for real, for real.)
Carlton Melton - Country Ways (title track spans all 20 minutes of the side A)
Eternal Tapestry/Sun Araw - Night Gallery (45 minutes of continuous improv between the 6 musicians during a hang out in Austin)
Eternal Tapestry - Beyond the 4th Door (go ahead, open it)
Sun Araw - Ancient Romans (in this list, it just can't be left out)
also worth mentioning in this post about Bardo Pond, we at Vg just did the gatefold packaging prints for this re-issue of theirs with Tom Carter of Charalambides!
release date of Jan. 24, pre-order available now at link. listen to a track here.
i'm tired. more tomorrow.
cheers-
i'm tired. more tomorrow.
