for an extra grand i’ll let you take me out to dinner
i quite enjoyed sheffield’s 65 days of static’s last record, one time for all time. their glitchy, squarepusher inspired version of math rock breaks up the monotony of a sometimes very tiring genre. they have a new record entitled the destruction of small ideas and are opening for the cure during their fall tour. the problem with instrumental bands is that sometimes taking individual tracks out of the context of the entire record doesnt quite do em justice. such is the case, i hope, with these two tracks off of the destruction of small ideas. they are not bad by any means, but neither stood out as something i havent already heard 100 times before.
when we were younger and better
they play atlanta on 7.23 @ the masquerade and then on 9.15 w/ the cure

i dont know much about josh preston other than he is half owner of me and the machine records, he has a record entitled between memory and mortality, and i really dig the song “picture” off said record.
i dont pay enough attention to carla bozulich although i know i should. why dont i you ask? i cant come up with a good excuse. everything she has done since the geraldine fibbers lost somewhere between the earth and my home i have been completely enamored by. her take on willie nelson’s red headed stranger is absolutely wonderful and last years evangelista is pretty great. again, whats my problem?

that josh preston track is really great. i’ll have to check him out
Carla Bozulich! I saw the Geraldine Fibbers ages and ages ago and the performance of Fancy (my favorite of theirs, actually) was pretty transcendental. Then a few years back, I saw her doing red haired stranger and again, absolutely amazing. Thanks so much for the tracks - you made my morning!
Hooray, Fibbers! I thought about them while watching Nels Cline playing with Wilco at Chastain last month. (That show is posted on the blog Southern Shelter if yr interested.)
I think Carla came to Lenny’s last year. I wish I had gone to see her. Thanks for sharing this show.
