Deeply personal record to me:

"we spoke once dave, a few weeks before you passed away.

my mum speaks of you as a beautiful soul, and that you were certainly. from our hour long conversation at my parents wedding anniversairy, we talked about SMiLE and pharoah sanders. you loved music, and you created some fantastic music that occasionally gets stuck in my head.

we exchanged phone numbers, and I hoped to message you once I came back from my europe trip, only to find out you were no longer with us.

thank you for everything you did for the world, your friendship with my mother, and your contributions to the portal of music.

<3 <3 the 3 tracks are sweet, the A side being one of my favourite ever"

Jim O'Rourke

27/6/2000 (Meltdown Festival, London RFH)

Jim O'Rourke Bootleg

Art Pop, Chamber Folk || Drone, Post-Rock, Avant-Garde Songwriter Jazz

 

///

Jim O'Rourke is my favourite artist of all time... or at least one of them. This bootleg is my second favourite from him, as well as it being one of the greatest live performances ever conceived by a human being on earth. It's really hard to put this stellar release to words, I haven't archived anything in a while, it's a slow process. This is barely anywhere online, so I wanted to upload this in hopes that everyone will get around it.
