He recorded some nice bands from NC mainy if I'm not wrong (Archers of loaf, Polvo, Small 23....)
RIP
I have to thank 19-year-old me for buying this on vinyl back in 1997.Wikipedia wrote: The first pressing of Whatever and Ever Amen features a clip of an actual argument in the studio between Folds, Sledge and Jessee, inserted between "Brick" and "Song for the Dumped". Speaking to The Shrubbery in 1999, Folds said that the clip "was a painfully documented real argument that kept bringing up bad feelings. We decided to get rid of it and let the first pressings be collectors ... Better to keep the band together. It was ugly."
RIP Caleb Southern

1036My friend John Kappes died yesterday.
He was almost 65. Complications from a stem cell transplant, part of treatment for leukemia.
John was my mentor and showed me how to be in a band, basically.
We met in a basement apartment in Missoula, in 1985. I was 16, he was nine or ten years older. A bunch of us youngsters were being vetted...or was it courted?...in advance of joining John's band, Ein Heit.
It was extremely generous of John to let us kids in the door. Me, Andy Cohen, first Silkworm drummer Ben Koostra--Joel Phelps was already there. In particular, it was generous (perhaps foolish) to allow *me* to pollute his refined catalog with my juvenile attempts at songcraft. Then again, the pool of bass players who would play the same four notes over and over was pretty low in 1980s Missoula.
He was incredibly bright, perceptive, hilarious. I have a couple dozen Kappesisms that will remain in use as long as I'm still alive. He was occasionally bitchy the way you'd want anyone to be. Outwardly confident even as it belied an inner sensitivity to criticism. His projection of certitude and purpose as a frontman was what you want out of anyone in that spot. And he made up songs that at their best were crystalline, perfect post-punk that will live forever--I can still play many of them today. I don't remember a single thing I wrote before about 1994.
He showed me how to be not just a creative person outside the cultural mainstream but a person outside the mainstream in general. Being gay in western MT was a little easier in Missoula than where John grew up (Havre), but it was still the mid '80s and no picnic for him, I'm sure. Watching him be who he was really openly and confidently--defiantly at times--had a massive impact on my own sense of myself and how unimportant it was that I fit into the world around me in any kind of a stock way.
Anyway. We all have Our People, including the People from Way Back When, and JK was My People from both Way Back When and from Right Now. I will miss him terribly. Requiescat JK Manlove <cue JDiv, The Eternal--he always said Closer > Unknown Pleasures, and it took me twenty years to realize he was right>

Re: RIP v2 - still no cure for death
1037Lucas Samaras, from complications of a fall, at 87. One heck of a run. He worked in a lot of different media--pastels, installations, objects, sculpture--though might be best known for his striking photo-transformations of the 1970s and 1980s. For those, he'd work with fresh SX-70 prints, pushing around the gel-like media of the print as it set. The results were uncanny and often disturbing. What influenced me most was his focus on creating entire photographic worlds within his small NY apartment--an aesthetic choice that really resonated with me during lockdown.
By all accounts a cantankerous, reclusive, deeply weird dude who built his own world and lived in it. RIP.
