It's about time Nels gets to play at Newport. This is a project he's been working on for quite awhile, and it's a fantastic ensemble. It may be worth a road trip!

Wilco closed their show in Brooklyn last night with a stunningly beautiful cover of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity.” It’s very true to the original, but they also made it their own (especially with Nels’ parts). If you’re as sad about Bowie being gone as I am, it may not be a bad idea to have a box of tissues nearby.

Nels Cline Interview

Source: David Lizerbram & Associates. Not everyone who goes to L.A. makes it big, but some people who are from there can go all the way. Today we speak with Nels Cline, guitarist for indie rock...

I so admire how open and honest Nels Cline is regarding his music and his approach. I have listened to several interviews with Nels over the last few weeks and he is consistent and easy-going in all settings and is very comfortable discussing his music and influences. In preparation for this week’s Alloy radio show that focused on “sound,” I watched this interview/hangout that Nels gratiously did with folks at Radius Cowork in Eerie, PA in advance of a performance he and Julian Lage did on October 19, 2015 at the Mercyhurst Institute for Arts and Culture in Erie, PA. If the video does not automatically jump to spot 6:25 into the interview (the spot where Nels talks candidly about “sound”) you can fast forward to that spot on your own. His openess to what sound is, can be, and what it ultimately becomes, how it is interpreted and experienced is refreshing. In this week’s show I played the complete “Onan Suite” from Nels’ 2009 album “Coward.” You can hear the full version of this piece by checking out this week’s Alloy playlist (songs 10-15). If you dig those tracks by Nels, you can purchase the album here or here. Thanks watching and listening!

Happy 60th Birthday, Nels Cline!

[fyeahnelscline]

Hard to believe Nels and his brother Alex are 60. Here's to many more years of sonic adventures!

I'm hoping to hit the road next Friday night to see Nels play in Philadelphia. It's been way too long since I've gotten to see him.

ALEX CLINE’S FLOWER GARLAND ORCHESTRA - OCEANS OF VOWS

in honor of the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh on the occasion of his 89th Continuation Day.

100% of the profits from this event will be donated toward the cost of Thich Nhat Hanh’s current intensive rehabilitation program at UCSF Medical Center following his stroke last November.

Performers:

Areni Agbabian – voice Chi Li – erhu, zheng, qin Jeff Gauthier – electric violin Miguel Atwood Ferguson – 5-string electric violin Maggie Parkins – cello Will Salmon – flute Nels Cline – electric guitars G.E. Stinson – electric guitars Wayne Peet – electric piano, organ Yuka C. Honda – electric keyboards, samples Scott Walton – bass Brad Dutz – vibraphone, hand drums, percussion Alex Cline – drums, percussion Vicki Ray – conductor PLAZA DEL SOL CONCERT HALL @ The Valley Performing Arts Center 18111 Nordhoff St, Northridge, CA 91330 TIckets: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/angel-city-jazz-festival-alex-clines-flower-garland-orchestra-tickets-17953894582 Percussionist-composer Alex Cline leads an all-star 13-piece ensemble including his twin brother, acclaimed guitarist Nels Cline, in the premier of his full-concert-length work “Oceans of Vows,” dedicated to famed Vietnamese Zen Buddhist teacher, scholar, author, poet, and peace activist the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh in honor of his 89th Continuation Day (or what would be his 90th birthday as it’s measured in most traditional Asian cultures), which is October 11, the date of the concert itself. Combining Western and traditional Chinese stringed instruments, electric guitars and keyboards, and a multitude of percussion instruments from around the world, and crowned with the arresting voice of vocalist Areni Agbabian, the piece creates a rich and expansive universe of sound in which short excerpts from the ancient Mahayana Buddhist text the Avatamsaka Sutra (or Flower Garland Scripture) and thematically related contemporary poems of Thich Nhat Hanh are set, reflecting the truly cosmic nature of the sutra, which poetically unveils and explores the thoroughly interpenetrating, interconnected, and interdependent nature of reality. This performance is made possible by a grant from the Shifting Foundation. http://angelcityjazz.com/

Thanks everyone for your bday wishes! Have a look at my mind blowing birthday gift from Nels Cline and Yuka Honda, 1959 Gold Jazz Master with copper Mastery Bridge and Tremelo Bar courtesy of John Woodland! The pick guard is a custom Gustav Klimt collage made by Mr. Nels Cline himself! I’m speechless and feeling beyond blessed. Big love to all and thanks for remembering dad’s 75th! @masterybridge @milktofu

Oh I thought there was an emergency. Nels Cline was playing a solo right in front of you and you were staring at your phone the whole time.

Sonic Youth‘s Lee Ranaldo is the subject of a new documentary called In Doubt, Shadow Him!. As The Wire reports, the Arnaud Maguet-directed film is coming this December via Hifiklub. It will be available as a DVD accompanied by a double 10" vinyl soundtrack. Watch the trailer below via FACT. The film is described as a “drift” and features a score by Ranaldo and Hifiklub recorded at Sonic Youth’s studio. DNA’s Ikue Mori, Nels Cline, guitarist Alan Licht, composer Phill Niblock, Robin Rimbaud (aka Scanner), the poet John Giorno, Velvet Monkeys’ Don Fleming, and others contributed to the film. Maguet’s previous films include I Am a Genius (And There’s Nothing I Can Do About It), which focuses on R. Stevie Moore, and Plans Make Gods Laugh (A Drift About Alain Johannes), which follows Queens of the Stone Age member Alain Johannes. In the years post-Sonic Youth, Ranaldo has released two solo albums: Between the Times and the Tides and Last Night on Earth. Read our 5-10-15-20 interview with Ranaldo. Watch Ranaldo perform “Off the Wall” on Pitchfork.tv’s “+1”:
