To have a Mekong (Thai brandy) on the banks of the Mekong is of course a must! If a Mekong is not within reach, there's always Singha beer. This was in the middle of the hot season. The hot season in Thailand is HOT!

Yep, drink sinks another.
Off to see Mary Gauthier tonight. Now that song of hers " I Drink " is a fine thing.

Paul, it's not just the drink. Nick Drake overdosed a month after Martyn's tribute, Martyn's second wife is already passed on, the guy lost a leg . . . whew, talk about suffering producing great art!

Yes, sad news about JM, but not entirely unexpected.
Paul, enjoy your Mary. Saw her last year (and caught Robyn Hitchcock the same evening).

Paul, I forgot to bring my Indonesian batik shirt. Funny thing, I ran into Robyn a couple of days later on the street, and I thought he gave me a look. I wondered why. Possible explanation: I was wearing a WFMU T-shirt. Maybe I was just imagining things ...

I know there's this struggling musician thing, but I didn't things werre THAT bad for old Robyn. Actually I once bumped in to him in a kitchen Again, I had one of my dogs with me, two maybe ... Robyn didn't seem that keen on them. Probably that old thing of performing with children and animals !

The Robyn gig was quite all right. He had brought along John Paul Jones and in the audience there was an assortment of Fairports (who were also gigging in town). So, in the middle of the gig, up steps Dave Pegg and takes over the bass on a couple of songs. Fine contingent of senior British gentlemen there. A nice time was had by all!

Mushroom was (is?) a big label down there and he shares a name with Split Enz and Crowded House dudes.

I recall seeing Finn with NNCK a few years back at a Mexican joint in WIlliamsburg. It was one of the most disorganized shows I've ever been to, but he was great.

Ok, I joked about ten years ago that British Folk was going to be the next underground fad. But, jeez, now it's happening. What do you think was the catalyst? I mean I've been listening to Steeleye Span and Pentangle and that ilk for a long time...

And I suppose the acceptance of John Fahey before his passing by the indie community probably helps smooth the waters for acoustic guitars.

the Takoma "American Primitive" (::cringe:::) stuff has definitely seen a lot of attention, and seems to have inspired a revival of its' own with the likes of Jack Rose, James Blackshaw, etc.

The reason you're hearing so much trad. Brit folk on this show right now is simple: I am finding a ton of it online.
Fri. 1/30/09 11:00am
From:

I'm happy to hear it!
I was hoping the revival would eventually come - and I can find tons of stuff that has been long out of print!
I'm riding this trend until the wheels fall off!

I've just "won" two Syliphone 70s albums on THAT auction site. There is something with that sound that came out of Guinea - a mix of vernacular traditions and latin and jazz - in my view among the best from Africa in the 70s or at any time for that matter ...

Only caught a few minutes this morning around 9:00 - loved the dub & jazz, will make it a point to tune in on Fridays driving to work. Website was easy to see music played, even talkover - thanks!!! it makes a huge difference to someone who catches great tunes without paper and pencil. There is nothing more aggravating then to hear a great song and lose it in the well of ignorance. A few sting my heart even now....
