I only recently found out about Bill Orcutt (via NPR small desk episode with guitar quartet including Mendoza, Parish, and Eisenberg). Interested in exploring more of his music.
  8:27pm
Dean:

I can't see the little emojis that our DJ Observations is posting. A wolf, this last one?

But then I'm pretty dismissive of the whole notion of "visual learning." Sight is the least important sense, to my mind. I could drive blind as well as most Berkeley residents.

But Corsano and Orcutt were, predictably, spectacular.

This, maybe?

The clerk at my local used record store recommended Bill Orcutt to me. Good choice! He had a long interview on a New Sounds show (the show, confusingly found on the website newsounds.org, which is a larger enterprise), which is still available if you search for it. He apparently uses a 4-string guitar for reasons he explains.

Bill Orcutt was in a band called Harry Pussy.

"Hon, I'm going out to see Harry Pussy. I don't think you'll be that interested in it—it's pretty hard core. See you when I get home! Mwah!"

Now and then I confuse Harry Pussy with Pussy Galore. Imagine that!

WFMU needs to give more love to Brötzmann's Full Blast. They delivered one of the best concerts in my memory at a piddly storefront in Berkeley. Freeprogblast, unrelenting noise and virtuosity. Top form.
