rec of the day SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE "sleep tones" (VDSQ 2LP) i am not always a fan of ambient music, but chasny's take is luxurious and dreamy. a perfect accompaniment for many an activity. or even meditation. go get 'em, tiger. blackeditionsgroup.com/product-page/s…

Sunday Night: Sir Richard Bishop and Winter Band at the Goat in Arcata. Winter band will be Meg Baird, Ethan Miller, Charlie Saufley, Donovan Quinn and myself. 8pm.

Looking forward to seeing Rick Bishop play on Sunday. A lot of people don’t know this but I used to give him guitar lessons in the 80s.

Ethan made a cool promo video for Winter Band using recordings from yesterday’s rehearsal if anyone was curious what we sound like. Maybe a little Paramachanical World / Un / Maher shb style. Or something.

I have some Hexadic work in the new issue of Matt Marble’s American Museum of Paramusicology e-zine. Matt used to do the Secret Sound podcast and wrote that latest book on Arthur Russell and I love his vision. mattmarble.net/amp

Just recorded with one of my favorite music podcasts l. so stoked. Out in a couple weeks. I first played a show with one of the hosts about 21 years ago. Crazy!

One of my fav projects I’ve worked on. Made myself laugh when a few days before it was released I emailed him and asked him when his birthday again.

Saturday 9/9 2220 Arts + Archives ✨ link.dice.fm/C098e37e28dc ✨ A stellar line-up Six Organs of Admittance, Chuck Johnson, Arian Shafiee & Shelley Burgon 💫

Isn’t it rad when two friends meet when you aren’t there and you find out they really got along?

Dive into Joram 's film for Alnilam from Ben Chasny of Admittance's just released gatefold 2LP Sleep Tones, now available from VDSQ/Black Editions Group. "For those willing to open dreams to possible extra-dimensional contact..." 🌌Links in our Bio🌠youtu.be/KFTVpZ1tfYM?si…

Was surprised when noisextra asked me to be on their show but was really stoked since it’s one of my fav music podcasts. Ep up now. noisextra.com/2023/09/20/in-…

These demos sound great. I’m also curious about this project he’s got cooking.

Good lord how beautiful is this Jessika Kenney & Eyvind Kang first song for their new record? To have faith that humans nowadays would listen a 7 minute monophonic piece that needs that entire time to complete itself? Always in awe of these two. ideologicorgan.bandcamp.com/album/azure

ICYMI - James Blackshaw is returning to playing live after an 8 year hiatus, opening for Grails on select European dates. Really great news. Good work Grails on getting that guy out there.

It’s true we made a thing. I also just posted more info on my IG account instagram.com/p/Cx8NyflrM3v/

One of the cool things we get to do with Head Voice is write articles that should have been written a long time ago, like interviewing Naomi Yang about her bass tone and playing in Galaxie 500 and beyond

Love this dude. In about 2011 or so Elisa came back from a Markers tour in the US and said, “we played a show with this guy Joseph that you just have to hear.”

My good bud Tony Rettman is going in for serious cancer surgery this coming week. You know Tony : No Idols, his books on Straight Edge and NYHC etc. His friends made a long sleeve shirt with a rad Negative Approach photo to support Tony right now. noidolslongsleeves.blogspot.com/2023/10/pre-or…

**PLEASE NOTE: as of 5:30CST, this run is sold out. HOWEVER, we are printing a second run, so feel free to keep ordering! We'll ship your copy as soon as the second batch arrives in a few weeks. Thank you!

My friend Conner is a very good egg. I recommend both following him here and this thing he’s doing looks superb.
