The Bark Haze LP & CD


Written by Important Records Thursday, 30 November 2006 artist: The Bark Haze
title:untitled
catalog #: IMPREC128
format: lpupc: 793447512822
release date: Feb 27, 2007

This limited edition lp was pressed in an edition of 500 with letterpressed covers done by Manifesto. These are completely different recordings than the Bark Haze compact disc also on Important Records.
The Bark Haze is primarily a guitar duo of GOWN (nom de plume of one Andrew
Macgregor) and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth etfuckingcetera). Auxiliary
members have been know to include Pete Nolan (Magik Markers, Virgin Eye
Blood Brothers, Cops et al). Their name came from a mis-hearing of the
radical early 70s R+B group the Bar-Kays and from that moment the concept of
mis-hearing and allegiance to presenting the mis-hearing as some open-ended
musical course became The Bark Haze's identity. So far all concerts have
taken place in Western Massachusetts and once in the confines of Cambridge,
MA's Twisted Village record emporium. They anxiously await their debut gig
in the UK at the Nightmare Before Christmas event curated by Moore. As the
heroic and potentially bonkers Carpenters refrained We've Only Just Begun.
Damn straight.

man sonic youth 2007 is going to be so fun

I heard some whispers about a Thurston Moore, Wally Shoup, Paul Flaherty, Chris Corsano release of a live recording from 2002. Might be out later this year or early 2008.

Another book to add to the list - this taken from "publishers weekly" website:

"Da Capo bought world rights to Entertainment Weekly music critic David Browne's Goodbye 20th Century: Sonic Youth and the Rise of the Alternative Nation, an authorized biography of this influential band; pub date is September 2007"

ISBN: 030681515X

The author has also written a book about Tim Buckley and Jeff Buckley ("Dream Brother"), which seems to have received plenty of praise on both the UK and US versions of Amazon. Hopefully his SY book will be similarly praiseworthy.

Thanks sonicl. this one seems the most interesting book out of the 3 coming.

See Thurston is doing the musical score do the dvd you get with the new Richard Kern,er..'art' book published by taschen i believe.

Thanks for the info. The book+dvd will be out on april.
"...To further assist the young ladies in their rebellion, the book includes an hour-long DVD of original Kern film with an exclusive musical score by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. Way to stick it to the Mom, ladies! And thank you, Richard, you lucky dog."

 

thanks for info.
seems to be more comming, huh?

I'll buy pretty much anything Sonic, but I draw the line at buying porn just for the sake of a Thurston soundtrack.

I'll bet you buy porn if you can hum the soundtarck :)

You don't hum along to porn soundtracks, you grunt, pant and groan. :p

Looking forward to this.

I don't think Thurston's solo stuff is hummable (leaving out Psychic Hearts, which sucks anyway) - it's probably the first porn movie with a skronk tweet bleep soundtrack.

And will they credit him as Thruston Moore? :D

Haha, I was thinking something similar.

"But it's for the music...! You know, like some people buy Penthouse for the interviews."

It doesn't help that Richard Kern's porn is just so... wierd. There's nothing aesthetically pleasing about it.

Richards work isn't always about porn.

It's a photo from his short film "Fingered", but I know what you mean.
The makeup or stare maybe?

yeah yeah, it's art, not porn.

Is there something wrong with soft porn?

Didn't you just read what I said? It's not porn, it's art.

I bet you never read the interviews in the Penthouse either. :rolleyes:
