The track Minor Changes has some of the scariest and most beautiful playing.  What a guitar tone the guy had.  I 'jammed' with him once - two acoustic guitars in the foyer of the Grand Hotel in Stockholm in 1986.  He was on tour with Martin Stephenson and the Daintees, who were doing double duty as his backing band.  I'll be trying to figure out his 'circular' picking for years to come.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Some Great GTR tunes</title><dc:creator>neil@neilclark.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-09-08T17:58:30-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.neilclark.com/Blog/newsblog.html#unique-entry-id-8</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.neilclark.com/Blog/newsblog.html#unique-entry-id-8</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Mostly instrumentals but some aren't - check out Denny Dias's solo on Your Gold Teeth II - pretty amazing.  McLaughlin's tone with Miles - makes me wish I still had my Fender Mustang.  Mr Frisell's playing on Strange Weather is sublime.  Kevin Breit is a great guitar player who lives in Southern Ontario, close to here.  He's quite well known internationally due to his work with Cassandra Wilson and Norah Jones.

They are making a really great sounding point to point wired 5 watt Class A amplifier at a very reasonable price.  It's a combination of a tube guitar amp and a high quality recording preamp in one package.  I've tried one and it does indeed sound great.  Highly recommended.  Check out the specs at their website here.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Robert Forster - Pandanus</title><dc:creator>neil@neilclark.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-04-08T17:48:12-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.neilclark.com/Blog/newsblog.html#unique-entry-id-4</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.neilclark.com/Blog/newsblog.html#unique-entry-id-4</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I just downloaded Robert Forster's song Pandanus for his upcoming album The Evangelist....  Here's the link for the download, http://store.yeproc.com/album.php?id=13323 and here's a link to RF's Evangelist page on his site, http://www.robertforster.net/rfevangelist.html.  This is Robert's first post Go-Betweens release and the song is really good.

I toured with Robert, Robert Vickers and Grant McLennan (the other Go-Betweens on the bus) a few years back.  Robert Vickers and I were playing together in Lloyd Cole's backing group and Robert Forster and Grant McLennan were opening as an acoustic duo.  I have many great memories from that outing and news of Grant's passing in 2006 was shocking and saddening.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Live off the floor....</title><dc:creator>neil@neilclark.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-04-05T17:53:34-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.neilclark.com/Blog/newsblog.html#unique-entry-id-6</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.neilclark.com/Blog/newsblog.html#unique-entry-id-6</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Two very solo and very live guitar pieces added to the downloads page.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Bloomsday Revisited</title><dc:creator>neil@neilclark.com</dc:creator><dc:subject>Blog</dc:subject><dc:date>2008-03-30T17:50:30-04:00</dc:date><link>http://www.neilclark.com/Blog/newsblog.html#unique-entry-id-5</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.neilclark.com/Blog/newsblog.html#unique-entry-id-5</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Listening through to some Bloomsday demos at the weekend for the first time in a long while.  The group was, myself - guitars, Chris Thomson - words, voice and guitars and Stephen Irvine - drums.  Mark Bedford of Madness occasionally played bass and Douglas Muirden occasionally played keys.  We signed to Island and released one album called Fortuny but as is sometimes the case I think the demos were better.  So I've just posted 5 of them on the DOWNLOADS page.  Chris and I often talk about another collaboration and we are at it again so, you never know.]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
