Received my copy of "The Invisible Way" plus "The Visible End" just a few minutes ago! :)
Speaking of tricky shit, I can't believe customs has charged me a bill for "importing" this record. Never happened to me before. |
The A.V. Club has posted videos of Low performing "Plastic Cup" and "Waiting" live at Saki Records in Chicago:
http://www.avclub.com/articles/low-p...at-saki,93618/ It is mentioned in the article that they filmed the whole show (which consisted of five songs of the new record), and they'll be posting the rest of it in the coming days. |

Extremely cool. I must shamefully confess I did not know about that EP! I'll get the CD version next month. |
The Golden Fishtank EP will apparently only be avaialble in Europe (as was told on the maling list, I haven't checked myself). If you haven't got it, it's wonderful especially the cover of Down By The River.
[edit: but it's listed on the recordsmithpa link that you supplied, so it's probably not true then. Btw, don't think that's the official list, that's just the list for some store] In other news, There's another radio session from XFM streaming here: http://ukrp.musicradio.com/xfm/londo...isodeId=224836 It starts around 1hr 10mins into the stream: Low ‘Mother’ (Sub Pop) Interview w/ Alan & Mimi of Low Session Track: Low ‘Plastic Cup’ Interview w/ Alan & Mimi of Low continued Session Track: Low ‘Holy Ghost’ Interview w/ Alan & Mimi of Low continued Low ‘Just Make It Stop’ (Sub Pop) Interview w/ Alan & Mimi of Low continued Session Track: Low ‘Clarence White’ Interview w/ Alan & Mimi of Low continued Session Track: Low ‘Words’ Interview w/ Alan & Mimi of Low continued |

_tunic_, you're right. I messed up. Record Store Day's official website doesn't have Low & Dirty Three's "In The Fishtank Volume 7" in the list. I hope I can manage to find a copy of it for a fair price even if it only makes it to European stores.
Soup Nazi, you are in for a really nice treat so don't miss out on buying that CD. I know there are mixed reviews about this record, but as _tunic_ mentioned there's a very beautiful cover of Neil Young's "Down By The River" on this, which is a true gem (If you enjoyed that Blogothèque performance, you now have an idea). "Lordy" and "When I Called Upon Your Seed" are noteworthy as well, in my opinion. You also might wanna check out the DVD included on "A Lifetime Of Temporary Relief" to know the humble origins of this EP: A documentary of the recording process is included on it, as well as some other awesomeness. Anyhoo, I'm ripping that Low XFM session with Streamtransport now. It seems to be an .m4a file. I've had problems in the past to play audio files grabbed with this application, but I do hope this one will work fine. We'll see. I'm clueless regarding how to separate the Low session from the rest of the program and then split it into tracks. I've never done that on an .MP3, let alone an .M4A. I can only handle .WAV files with CD Wave Editor. A tweet by acidjack implies he recorded Low's show at Society for Ethical Culture the other night, so I'm happy to have another Low recording to look forward to. https://twitter.com/acidjacknyc/stat...933440/photo/1 |
The golden Fishtank vinyl might be for sale at http://www.konkurrent.nl/winkel/prod..._718752038119/ as well
I've sent them a mail to confirm that, will let you know the answer. I was hoping the NY show would be recorded, it had some special guests joining them (but I forgot which ones... either Trampled By Turtles or some string quartet) |

_tunic_, you beat me to it. I was planning to upload my rip of the XFM session. I've been quite busy so I'm glad and thankful you've posted this here, too.
By the way, it wasn't Tramped By Turtles joining Low at the New York show, this time it was ACME: American Contemporary Music Ensemble. Also, Planet Claire uploaded Low's Planet Claire session from October 24th, 2004 to their bandcamp page yesterday. It's only available for streaming at the moment, but a link to download lossy files is located there, too (It's been active for years at their official website). I asked if they would please provide lossless audio, and they said they'll try to figure that out. http://planetclaire.bandcamp.com/alb...ion-2004-10-24 |
Did I mention Blank Realm "Go Easy" yet? That one is like Pere Ubu and Wire "Chairs Missing" so yeah it rules.

Cool! I'll be waiting for that PM, then.
Meanwhile, Low performed an in-studio session earlier today (March 31st, 2013) for The Current, which consisted of "Plastic Cup", "Holy Ghost", and "On My Own", with the usual line-up of lately (Alan, Mimi, and Steve) this time augmented by two members of Tramped By Turtles: http://www.thecurrent.org/feature/2013/03/28/low-live The Current will also broadcast a recording of Low's recent performance at The Fitzgerald Theater from March 23rd, 2013; this next Wednesday, April 3rd, at 9:00 PM. Low were joined by Tramped By Turtles in this specific show, too: http://blog.thecurrent.org/2013/03/l...ed-by-turtles/ |
Fucking exciting news: Phillip Harder's "Low Movie - How To Quit Smoking" will be premiered at this year's edition of Minneapolis/Saint Paul Film Festival. An intimate set by the band will follow. More info, and an awesome trailer for the film is below:

Yay!
Another reminder that Low will be performing a live in-studio session at KEXP Studios in Seattle, on Saturday as well: https://www.facebook.com/events/121126538067497/ |
Tune-in at 9 p.m. for The Current Sessions at the Fitz featuring Low: http://ow.ly/jINfQ
The Current have already uploaded some audio and video of this show, and what a fine treat it is: http://www.thecurrent.org/feature/20...ow-at-the-fitz |
Low performed a live in-studio session at WFUV's Words And Music at Studio A, on March 19th, 2013. Set-list consisted of "Plastic Cup", "Holy Ghost", and "Clarence White". Nice interview, too. Audio and youtube videos at the link below:
http://www.wfuv.org/audio/archives/w...and-music-2013  |
it was mentioned some time ago that there was a movie of which Low provided the soundtrack, but back then there was only a trailer. Full movie (10 minutes I guess) can now be seen at http://asongofpraise.nl
And you can also buy a limited edition DVD, but I find 15 Euro a bit expensive for such a short movie. There's also something else that can be bought for 5 Euro, I have no clue what it is though. Even for a Dutch speaker this site leaves me clueless. And I haven't found an option for English language. You can see the movie at chapter 2.1 and order the DVD at chapter 2.2.II happy hunting! |
:)
Jeroen van der Poel's work is great, and I shall get this DVD soon regardless of the cost. He also runs Amsterdam Acoustics, which provides documentation of artists performing acoustically in an intimate setting with Amsterdam as a cinematographic background. Here's Alan Sparhawk performing "Amazing Grace": http://vimeo.com/16656158 Jeroen van der Poel's website: http://jeroenvanderpoel.nl/ Amsterdam Acoustics' website: http://www.amsterdamacoustics.com/ Amsterdam Acoustics' archive on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/shbx By the way, _tunic_, do you know someone who might be able to capture Low's KEXP session tomorrow in lossless format? O'B has told me he will try, but there are many chances he won't pull it off. I don't have the means to do it myself, or even the time. Gotta work tomorrow, so I will miss the broadcast. Would love a copy, though. Maybe someone from the Chairkickers list might be able to capture the lossless stream? Thanks so much if you can spread the word, and find a helpful hand. |

sorry, I only read this just now, so it's too late to spread the word further... Anyway some sessions including kexp were shared on the mailing list, all in mp3 format though: a) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wefy60ikjzp2qlc/OoJBv6nYFr low kexp 06-04-2013 plastic cup on my own chat holy ghost waiting chat b) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/11q41monzig8pzz/iEai5EJZo1 low wnyc soundcheck 27-03-2013 intro plastic cup chat holy ghost chat clarence wright chat And here's the soundtrack of the Songs Of Praise movie extracted to mp3 from the flv video file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ppm1zy79tl...f%20Praise.mp3 |
Ah. Quite bummed there's no lossless capture. Low in .mp3 format only, is a lot better than many other things in this world, though. Maybe KEXP would upload a video of the whole performance to youtube at some point, too. Thanks so much for those links. I wonder if anyone from the Chairkickers list managed to rip those recordings hosted at the Current's website. I tried to, but neither Streamtransport nor Firefox's Downloadhelper could do it.

Low - Stockholm, Sweden, Debaser Slussen, 2013-05-03 (FLAC MASTER) with samples
Uploaded by trekytt |
did you hear this cover already? I saw it linked on Low's twitter. It's the first track of this compilation:
http://hellcomeshome.bandcamp.com/al...lume-1-box-set Haven't listened to the rest of that album, it's probably not that good. The intro to track 22 cracked me up though. And video's of Low's recent KEXP session were posted at http://blog.kexp.org/2013/05/07/live-video-low-2/ Guess what I'll be seeing tonight, and tomorrow too :D |
