aricandover Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 have you checked out the The Voloptulist by the New Blockaders, Jim and Thurston Moore? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ludwig Von Drake Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Is anyone else just disturbed by the liner art of Insignificance?? I had to turn mine inside out... Eureka's freaks me out even more, and the frog and teddy bear from "Halfway to a Threeway" freaks me out even more than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WaronWar Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 dude, that teddy bear and frog are awesome. It is fun to freak people out with Eureka's cover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 i found a tiny little cd of his called "rules of reduction" for $9 yesterday, but left it in the rack for a legal copy of Bad Timing, i figured Bad Timing in the hand was worth more than mystery-music-i-don't-even-know-i-could-get-to-play in the rack. it's not like i'll never see another copy in my life and regret it forever, all for an album actually called "bad timing", no less.

You Can Be The Stone Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Here's a FLAC/stereo version of the Loose Fur show that I attended, for anyone interested. ROFLMAO at the guy yelling out "You guys are good!" at the beginning of 'Laminated Cats'! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 As for him playing ATP this year, this was an interesting note from the festival organisers: "Jim O'Rourke no longer plays live, so rule him and Loose Fur out." I thought Loose Fur play live still?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I thought Loose Fur play live still?? their last shows were in december 2002. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Fair enough - I thought they'd played more recent than that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Fair enough - I thought they'd played more recent than that! Jim played a couple songs with Jeff and Glenn at one of Jeff's 2005 solo shows. I wish they'd tour, but it doesn't look like it'll ever happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Rich Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Yeah, it's a really shame, was hoping someone like Jim / Loose Fur would play ATP, fits in with their kinda set up... oh well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Eureka's freaks me out even more, and the frog and teddy bear from "Halfway to a Threeway" freaks me out even more than that. The poster inside the insignificance LP is the best. some fat bald man holding his boner that has a cloth with a smile face drawn in it with a string tied to the his weener and birds flying around attatched to the other ends of the strings. In the same cartoon style as the rest of the pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 yeah, I just bought Halfway to a Threeway and love it. It's so amazing. His artwork throws me off though, always feel like I'm being judged by the clerk when I put an album on the counter that shows a jolly asian man doing something that looks like getting oral pleasures from a bunny...

owl Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hahaha I definitely understand that. I'll stick to mailordering his stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Definitely more interesting. Seems like on AGIB it's one giant O'Rourke fingerprint, though, is all I'm sayin'.Right. I totally agree with you there. I often wonder if the drone would have been present if there was no O'Rourke on AGIB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

owl Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 here is a shitty pic of it I took with my camera phone.Really not a poster to put on the wall.Right. I totally agree with you there. I often wonder if the drone would have been present if there was no O'Rourke on AGIB.Somehow, I doubt it. Makes me wonder if Wilco even made the drone at all, of if it's an O'Rourke creation only? He seems perfectly capable of making it himself, anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ludwig Von Drake Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Kot's book says that each member created their own sound, and then it was made into the "arch" that it is in the mixing process. Far out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can pick up Bad Timing just about anywhere. Rules for Reduction though is old O'Rourke and came out in 1993. I have no idea what's on it myself, but I bet it's something incredibly "whoa."

people are leaving Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 There's also "I'm Happy, I'm Singing and a 1-2-3-4"which was released a couple, three years ago. All recorded on his laptop. Bad Timing, Halfway..., Eureka (which IS his masterwork) & Insignificance are all great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Just saw "I'm Happy, I'm Singing and a 1-2-3-4" on Ebay. Sold for $50. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
people are leaving Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Did anyone here ever get ahold of his newest album "Translate Takemitu"? I'm pretty sure it was only released in Japan, so the import price on Amazon is pretty steep. From what I heard it was solo piano with some electronics. Anyone know anything else about it? I need to hear this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
