I would remove Greg Lake and also Kevin Ayers (both have a voice that I would consider generally pleasant) and add the most obvious- Captain Beefheart!

I think they actually did, alas no vinyl.
What a crazy day this was, will write a review once my big ears go back to their normal size.
After dinner we can go to the BE pre-party?
Just got a notification that on 20:30 there is a free show at Barleys
Didn't have a chance to talk to General Midi but he was very surprised that someone recognised him this side of the pond.
Sleepytime were great, this was my second time seeing them (first was in...
Am now in Elsewhere, waiting for Sleepytime, General Midi from a.P.A.t.T is here too!
Wonder if he will come to Big Ears too.
Going to see them on Monday in NYC, can't wait!
Hope to see you all soon!
Thanks for taking the initiative
I'm arriving Wednesday afternoon and would love to meet!
I will be there in NY before heading to Big Ears, however it is the same day as Sleepytime Gorilla museum in NYC! oof...
Schedule is up!

Turns out he tried it, TM take 75$ commission
Anyway he lowered it an extra 50$ and still nothing.
A friend is looking to sell his ticket, since he could not get a flight ticket and now they cost 2000USD.
Any advice on how to do that?
Perhaps someone here is interested?
Its true, here they are on the plane:
17436
There is also a video of them in Israel airport but I think it is blocked overseas-

According to israeli news outlets, after diplomatic pressure from Israel they are now being deported to Israel instead of Russia (some have multiple citizenships)
They are currently in the Israeli...
Mabe he will be added to "Big Ears" festival which is around this time :p
Ian check out TREDICI BACCI, they have a great cover for the Cardiacs so cant be bad:

Oh man, completely forgot- best festival show and probably best show I ever saw was Magma in Herzberg festival 2000.
We even had a bonus soundcheck with Om Zanka before it was recorded for KA.
They...
Mine was all in the same festival -
Rock In Opposition France event in 2010
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - mind blowingly good, first time I saw them (Hopefully will get to see them again in Big Ears...
Mmmm, no, not in the album/ studio version anyway
Colored vinyl is a straw man argument, I don't think there are people in this thread that collect different colors of the same album so why waste so many words on this esoteric phenomenon?
The...
Hmmm, so I guess you haven't bought a single Beatles album in your life? Interesting reasoning to say the least...
Thanks!
Surprised to not see Ceramic Dog in your list?
In a way they are the reason I am flying (got to see many of the others, including secret chiefs and sleepytime and Frith and Threadgil etc...
Ian what happened to your messages, they are all empty, I was starting to sample the acts I don't know and was counting on your priorities as reference :)
Anyway here is my Thursday list (subject...
Got the box a few days ago from JPC (at 116 euro incl shipping!), so far gave the surround mixes half a listen, but wow -
Incredible, real discrete mixes, the kind that you notice details that you...
I really like Big Thief but am very surprised to see Adrianne Lenker headlining this festival - somehow I don't see the connection.
Here is a short clip I took of them:...
Marc Ribo Ceramic Dog
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Secret Chiefs 3
Shabaka
Fred Frith
Sons Of Chipotle
Kokoroko
Herbie Hancock
Some more there that I would love to see, but these are the...
It takes two dots to make an umlaut.
Another great addition to the list -
https://buffalodaughter.bandcamp.com/album/i
Great band from Japan, picking up from where krautrock left off in the seventies, adding some electronics (to a...
Obviously, you need to sort out your priorities.
Wasnt the VDGG box set get a re-press?
I guess this one will get the same treatment?
I don't see how the two collide.
Engineers cant fondle?
I was hesitant to mention this one in a prog forum :)
But yes, it is also part of the list.
Also have a sweet spot for the original "Fall of the house of usher"
Another vote for In Camera here - but then again my other favorites are Future Now, Black Box, Sitting Targets....
Oh well, guess I will keep my booking, this is the info from the big ears site:
"In addition to Visit Knoxville’s hotel portal, we encourage you to utilize your favorite hotel or travel search...
This was probably asked a few times but I missed the answer, where should I stay?
For some reason I thought that papermill district would be good but now I see it is 2 hours walk to downtown?
For lovers of kraut-pop a-la stereolab, I really adore the new album by Vanishing Twin:

This.
I really don't mind his comments: they are irrelevant to my enjoyment from the music. What I do mind is the excessive banter and added lyrics in the place where there was once actual music. Even the...
I have some nice vids but last time I posted them on YT I got a strike from the band... aint risking that again
I'm sorry, when a musician calls half of the show as "other stuff", I expect it to be musical other stuff, not banter.
Also, when I bought the ticket (at an exuberant price, from the official site),...
I went to the second night, and apart for omitting 2 out of the 3 stories as they were deemed too long, this is exactly what went on for the first half. Didn't stay for the second though, as couldn't...
It's a new song which he used to play in 2 halves in previous tour, the Palladium was the first time ge played it full.
Re the situation- he only said something general, Ie "what leads me is the...
I just came back from the RW Palladium show, or at least half of it...
I went to see an intimate RW show knowing I would have to suffer the Dsotm redux- what I did not know was that the first half...
I attended all 3 shows, including the rehearsal which was great- watching them play in such an intimate venue and in your face- was a fantastic experience.
They played only the TH and MDK bit, no...
I didn't get any cancellation from JPC...
Been buying from them for ages and thus far they were very reliable.
Annnnndddddd... the VIP tickets are sold out, guess I bought in the nick of time
I love this album!
Welp, still don't have a visa to the US but now I have a VIP ticket :cool
Great recommendations, I would add to that Shabaka and the ancestors, and also the supergroup London Brew which has all these fantastic players- Nubia, Shabaka, Tom Skinner on the skins, etc in a...
Very nice! Cant find any info on the band, but it looks like an international collaboration?
Recorded in Switzerland, this specific song is a cover, how is the rest of the album?
First time for me (hopefully if I get a visa), where is it best to stay?
That's gonna be one really long show!
Am psyched abou the horn section.
You definitely got the better choice!
I don't like In a Foreign Town, both the production and the songs- I wonder if I will see the songs in a new light, though I doubt it.
Out of water is actually...
I don't mind the slow renditions and also the sparse arrangements and the Leonard Cohen delivery- but I still cringe at the "poetry" that he felt compelled to insert.
It seems like he actually improved a little over the years, relying less and less on playback. There are still some songs that are still lip synced- sheep, in the flesh (oh, the irony) and have a...
Same here, glad to see the goal has been achieved.
Back in 2000 when I saw them in Herzberg / Wurzburg, they played either Theuzs / MDK or Theuzs / Wurda itah, but that was eons ago with completely different band members...
I guess I will be seeing you there? :)
I saw them 4 times in that tour - twice in Birmingham and twice in Paris.
Same trip was also the RIO festival in Albi, David Gilmour in Orange, and met Albert Marcoeur in his studio in the mixing...
