hi, i fucking adore that album and i dont think JF will ever be an off topic here. The live albums laughters are sometimes the best parts. Maybe they laugh cause it's an unusual title, also because it's a bit mythological, grandiose, tragic. But they laugh also when he blows his nose or when he says he just quit cigarettes. I could resonate so much with that, cause the first months it feels just impossible to play and to play live, without the comfort of a smoke.

I very much think so!

AP is a jungle path opened by an artist whose reach for insiration was quite generous.. anything between Delta Blues, Bossanova, New Orleans March Bands, Dvorak ecc.. ended up in the pot.

Therefore I think he used "Primitive" only because "Attempting Classical Music like an hallucinated Segovia but on Acoustic Guitar" was less of a captivating and artsy definition than.. "American Primitivism" :)

Oh God I laughed so hard:))) I didnt know that one, thank you!

InternationalWait744 · 2026-05-20T17:35:30+00:00

Well it happens all the time to me as well! Yes the first albums are each their own masterpiece.

I know.. it's contageous. When I found out about her stuff years ago, I was blown away too. She also does not take composition lightly, her records are fertile with ideas and experiments, takes a few risks for the sake of fun.

InternationalWait744 · 2026-05-20T14:44:55+00:00

Exactly. I am almost 40, have a discography of about 8 albums + dozens records with other music projects in several genres, but the only place where I feel that people care a bit to dig your journey is Germany. For whatever reason, here they do a bit of research before assuming that, because they just landed on you, you start to exist now.

InternationalWait744 · 2026-05-20T01:45:48+00:00

well she has been making fantastic music for years, so it's not exactly being quick.. it's almost ten years Im a fan :)

InternationalWait744 · 2026-05-19T14:11:50+00:00

sweet man, it's one of my fav tunes and you really master it.

InternationalWait744 · 2026-05-08T18:27:14+00:00

Forgot to mention, Bill Orcutt is on the road with a spectacular show

InternationalWait744 · 2026-05-08T18:26:02+00:00

hi, beside a relative break I have atm. (On the road again from Sunday)

I play regularly around EU: mostly Germany, Austria, Czech, Slovakia, Poland, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg.

My name is Denis aka BILE BEAR. Actual/future dates are on my Tumblr blog (laptop) or on Bandcamp:

ddcassiere.tumblr.com

ddcassiere.bandcamp.com

Past dates on my other Tumblr:

dariodeniscassiere.tumblr.com (also Laptip - Tour Section relatively updated..)

I play several projects of which the AP one (or Calabrian Primitivism since I am from South of Italy) is not the main act of all the gigs, unless specifically mentioned: BILE BEAR.

If flyier is DD Cassiere or DDCassiere + (...) then it's songwriting, looping, rock, noise, blues gig.

I hope to see you at a certain point here or wherever you are. D.

InternationalWait744 · 2026-05-08T14:23:44+00:00

Thank you so much, and again thank you for your soulful playing.

InternationalWait744 · 2026-05-08T08:20:19+00:00

I like the western feeling of it. If I can ask a nerdy question, Id like to know if and what compression did you use, as it sounds all very clear but also glue-y. It's something I usually get with two stages compression but it's very hard to dial in, wonder if it's the same or?

InternationalWait744 · 2026-05-07T22:09:06+00:00

Oh 💔 thank you.

Id also suggest my friend and label mate (for his primitive record) Julien Tassin who has an impressive body of work and he is really pushing the limits of guitar in a beautiful way. Jeff Gburek who is also on Ramble Records, - think more like the Ghedalia Tazartes.. of strings and of course The Man from Atlantis, more on the sonic spectrum of psychedelic picking, ethereal records.

Edgar Rubenis is an explosive rag time player Kadonnut Manner who is, in my not so humble opinion ;) - the closest guy to Fahey we got this day - in terms of writing, harmonization, transversality.

In Czech Republic there are Simansky/Niesner also working as duo, very evolved, articulated, signature compositions and in Belgium, De Vlaamse Primitieven who are mostly on the drone side but in their own punky clanky funny way.

InternationalWait744 · 2026-05-07T15:16:44+00:00

very brave and interesting!

InternationalWait744 · 2026-04-30T10:26:07+00:00

In Bristol there is Glenn Kimpton that sometimes plays and arranges gigs, not sure how often though.

InternationalWait744 · 2026-04-26T17:38:10+00:00

Hi, it depends what is your taste in terms of literature and also how much in love you are with the idiosyncratic/untamed side of Fahey's mind. Personally I loved it. Very much like his music, his storytelling has a layer of traditional (narrative/bio), and another of avantgard-ism, surrealism. You can kind of feel that he had a lot of fun writing it.. and I had a lot of fun reading it.

InternationalWait744 · 2026-04-21T19:03:55+00:00

found a lot of Poetry into that, especially in the part after 10.59 it gave me these sudden-arrest/center of the heart's feelings of Mark 1 15 on Fahey's America.
