The exit of Waxy Maxy

[johncorrigan]

Really, really, really enjoyed OP's LJ on Tuesday. So much to enjoy - glad to hear the Ginsberg but so many fine tunes. Looking forward to Wednesday's with the Yorkshire Festival featuring - Songlines issued a very good CD recently advertising it - Hebden Bridge seems like a place to go!

Max makes it to Pseuds Corner in the latest Private Eye....well, to be fair, it's the description of his Late Junction show from May 16 on the r3 website.

How long before Verity joins him?

Musical adventures with household appliances, hosted by Verity Sharp. Ahead of tomorrow's Late Junction collaboration session - which will feature Matmos and their washing machine - Verity puts on her rubber gloves and gets stuck into the world of harmonious hoovers, blenders and baby monitors.

HOLGER CZUKAY - PERSIAN LOVE / A cracker from Max' box of tricks this evening.

A bit of Alan Lomax archive last night with Max and a particularly moving piece by a Welsh Choir, the Treorchy Male Choir...also Alice Gibbs, excellent. I also loved the Jim O'Rourke version of 'Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands'. Great version.

re Sad Eyed Lady: Yes Jim turned it into the epic country song that lies deep within. Personally I was always a bit disappointed by the original...the band seem to be playing a tune called "is that the final verse Bob can we go home now?" at the end of each verse...and Bob sounds tired which is fair enough he'd put out a lifetime of great works in less than 5 short years

I mentioned Korean Kyungso Park the gayageum player who was a guest on Cerys on 6 last week and also on R3 during the week. Max played a great track, 'Chup Chup' featuring her playing with Andy Shepherd on Tuesday last week. I really enjoyed the combination of the instruments.

Terrific programme from Max last night, but in particular I really enjoyed Rob Young's Can related mixtape with contributions from the likes of Karl-Heinz, Terry Riley and the Velvets. Really enjoyable and interesting bit of radio I thought, well put together. More of the proto-Krautrockers on LJ this evening.

Max hitting stratospheric high spots this week,

There was some discussion of this on another thread. I guess it spanned genres.

[Quarky]

As regards Can/ Krautrock, I was interested to hear in his interview that the prime mover of Can, listened by choice for his own enjoyment to relatively conventional classical music. Can this guy be serious, thought I? Was Can just a day job?

Last night's show was Max doing what he is good at - dipping in and out of various genres, non genres; and an easy chat with a cool cat, Gianluca Tramontana, from over on Resonance
Changüí music from Guantánamo - who'd have thought? Good to anchor Guantánamo, the real place not the US owned section. That was an enjoyable piece.
First I'd heard of this...

https://www.andfestival.org.uk/events/and-festival-2017/

just down the road too, oh well, too late now.

As usual the Wilfully Obscure and Self-Consciusly Hip selections reared their heads. But amongst a plethora of interest won't affect the rating.
A definite 'you should probably listen to this' rating...

Max is in charge tonight and he played the wonderful 'Death Had Quicker Wings Than Love' by Marry Waterson & David A. Jaycock.

Some fine tunes tonight...thus far!

[johncorrigan]

Max played a great track by Alasdair Roberts last evening and trailed that tonight Alasdair would be putting together the Mixtape. Should be worth a listen, in my opinion.

Nathan Saltzburg from the Alan Lomax Archive was on Max' Late Junction tonight and played a few of the rarer songs from the archive. Wonderful stuff, of course. One was this guy recorded in the late 70s, and available on the Alan Lomax Archive youtube channel.
Belton Sutherland: Blues #2 (1978)

Only recorded three songs...pretty amazing.

not listened yet, but I'm glad to see that Max stuck to his promise to us last time he visited this quiet corner....many moons ago.

For some reason that track reminded me of another unconventional player, Robert Pete Williams, here playing Just Tippin' In and, a favourite of mine, Louise.
His wife burned his good guitar in a fit of jealous rage, he replaced it but his nascent career came to an abrupt end when he was arrested and put in prison for murder, although it was there he was later recorded by Harry Oster and subsequently, with support from Oster, released on parole.

It was great, Global. He also played this piece of Sacred Harp Singing, and here's the film on the AL youtube site.
