c'mon guys...we live in the high tech age. remember. who needs a stinkin' radio to listen to the radio?

http://www.wvxu.org/

Looks like it should being during "Around Cincinnati" which is available as a podcast after the show. (Except when they do they big 2 hour Christmas show. )

Sorry, but webcast or mp3-sourced anything other than speech doesn't interest me much, especially for vining purposes, when a much higher-fidelity copy has now been secured Call me compression-free snob if you must.

I just found out the segment on Kim, originally scheduled to air May 21 on 91.7 WVXU, has been delayed (just like her CD) and won't air until probably Sunday evening June 4th

Anyone else going to see Kim and Sarah tomorrow night at Alchemize? At midnight. If they're running on time . . .

I'd really like to. midnite. eeesh.

Kim's record is being mixed now in NYC

That segment with her talking about it comes up this Sunday evening on 91.7 WVXU in the 7pm hour

compression free snob, you!

You rang?

Thanks!


Actually, I think that just means that I'm a full-version snob--no skimping

BTW, despite what her website says about no dates currently, the Southgate calendar has her in the parlour on Thurs, June 22. I'll be out-of-state that week, but let me know if someone is planning on going.

We got some Video up . . . (lookey see)

So a friend and fan did a lot of audio and video taping of gigs from 2005 and I'm lucky enough to have had him show up to my final show of last year's tour with Over the Rhine. This is the title track from the new record (coming out in August) and I hope you like it. Jimi Zhivago on the piano and D. Money on the drums. Thanks to Shawn Fenton. There's a few other videos in there too if you're interested but I like this one best. Sorry about the extra long link. You'll most likelyhave to copy and paste this address. Just have your people call my people if you can't figure it out.

We'll talk sooner than later.

Kim plays a solo show at Allyn's Cafe.....a cool bar/ restaurant on Columbia Parkway in the Tusculum area of Cincy - Monday July 3, 9pm

it looks like the new record has a name...

i havent seen kim for forever! So is that her new cd?

Jason Ludwig's fantastic band, NOCTALUCA, are finally releasing their long-awaited full-length debut... Towering the Sum on Friday, August 11th, at the Madison Theatre in Covington, KY ('cross the shores of the Ohio from Cincinnati). Another fantastic artist and Orchard favorite, Kim Taylor, opens the show.

Get this... $10 admission also gets you the new Noctaluca album... so, um... $10 for a kickin' show and a kickin' new CD...

Kim Taylor is playing in Cinci this weekend. I am going to try and go. Anyone want to meet up?

Kim's letter to the email list:

Hello All You Hard Working People On A Wednesday Evening Round Supper
Time.

It's always so difficult for me to start these things. Hope that entry
worked allright.

It's been awhile since I've sent out any kind of nice introspective
word of wisdom to all you die hard fans and I've missed it.
Missed it missed it missed it. As I'm sure you've missed seeing me
blab on about nothing really.

So here's the real scoop for this reaching out . . .

Two things. One. If you live within a 20 miles radius of Cincinnati,
Ohio, I highly recommend you coming out to a little bar called
Allyn's Cafe on MONDAY JULY 3 for a special Fireworks Eve Songwriter
Night. We'll get it going at 9pm and there are several of us taking
long-winded
turns and I think that you are going to love them all. I'll be
beat-boxing the songs from the upcoming record. You don't wanna miss
that.

Here is the scoop on Allyn's: 3538 Columbia Pkwy, Cincinnati, 45226 -
(513) 871-5779

Now, the place is small. So how funny would it be if a ton of you came
and packed the joint sardine-like. On a Monday? I mean how much fun?

Thing Two. If you live anywhere on the planet, you'll be able to
pre-order the new record I Feel Like A Fading Light starting in the
month of August.
There will be signatures. And photos. And printed lyrics. And candy.
And pantyhose.

And that is all of the things I have to say for now!!

I'm so glad you're here. (like Steve from Blues Clues. Steve was so
much better than Joe. )

I am really glad you're here. And I'm really glad I'm here, too.
We're really very lucky.


kim taylor

I'm there!

I'd love to go, but alas...

I'm glad she's finally got her record thing figured out though, I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Do you think that Kim is going to start playing at 9pm or is there someone else too? I hear that it is a pretty small place. I'd hate to go in late and not be able to get in the door...

i haven't heard anything about it, tish.

Anyone make it to the show? I worked late and couldn't find anyone that was available to go so I didn't venture out by myself. Watched the neighbor shoot off about a billion dollars of fireworks while my dog was in panic in my house.

Thanks for coming over Kylie! Hope you had a nice time!

Was a nice little set..short....maybe 20 min-half hour....noisy room....noisy but very responsive.
Kim did Greatest Story Ever Told, Fading Light, Troubled Mind and 2 or 3 others, the names of which I can'r remember at this point. She sounded great

Wow! That short. I would have missed her for sure.

we often check out a blog done by a guy who claims to be jesus...it's called "what would jesus blog". he talks mostly about pop culture stuff, mostly about music.

a while ago there was a video up making fun of sufjan stevens and his name, and there was a post about how madonna is trying to shock people by crucifying herself on stage.

anyway, i just checked it, and the latest blog entry is about kim taylor. he even mentions over the rhine briefly...which i thought was cool.

What Would Jesus Blog

that blog's funny as hell! (if there's a pun in there, it wasn't intended) I especially like the way he capitolizes "My" and "Me" the way we do that with He or Him when writing about Jesus...

Kim Taylor is now taking pre-orders for her upcoming release, I Feel Like a Fading Light (due out Sept 12th).

http://kim-taylor.net/

~fff

thanks for the heads-up! I just pre-ordered mine.

Very cool. And here I had just checked her site yesterday . . .

The tracklist is interesting--I wasn't expecting to not know any of these, but Tracks 2, 10, and 11 are new to me, as far as I know. "The Room Here Above" sounds familiar, though--have to think through her lyrics, as maybe I do know that one . . . And "Hit Me" is absent (which surprises me, at least). I'm excited for Kim!

Now, who's coming to see her open at Madison Theater on Friday? Note the two dates in Indy the night before and morning of, too . . .

I'm totally there... mainly because Noctaluca fucking rocks! Kim Taylor opening is a great treat, too... stick around for the main band, though...

http://noctaluca.com/

~fff - np: elizabethtown

I am so stoked for her. She has had to wait so long.
Maybe 'Hit Me' is a hidden track...?

I'll be coming to see a show of hers now fer shur....not sure when, though.
Maybe sometime when I can combine an OTR show with hers.
xo

Tall Stacks?? C'mon, you know you wanna

You KNOW I wanna...you betcha.
But as luck would have it, those very days are when we are having my Mom's memorial service back East. Tickets bought, plans made...no changing.

But the concert-attending WILL happen eventually...have no doubt.

I'm hoping later in the fall or Christmastime.

xo

I was surprised, too, that Hit Me isn't listed. (I still grin when I think about the 'don't worry, when you hit her, she is not her' quip here a while back.) I'm glad some of my favorites ("Everything Ends", "Who Is Golden", and "Elvis and Jesus", except it's called "Baby I Need You" now) made it.

crossing my fingers that she'll come back to SoCal again!

I'm really surprised "Hit Me" isn't on it as well...her by herself could only do so much, but I had high hopes for a full-band studio version. I could hear some dirty slide guitar really taking the song to another level if it was the right player.

Well, unless there has been significant additional recording since last fall, it's just Kim and Josh Seurkamp. I believe Jimi Zhivago might add a little bit also, but I think the concept was to be Kim and drummer. I like that approach just fine, personally, though I still do pull out the Schuba's and the York St. Cafe live recordings quite often to hear her with the band. Even on the York St. recording, though, Ric sits out "Hit Me" so it's not quite what you're envisioning (enaudiating?), but yeah, I can hear that, too.

Oh--the other one I was expecting to make an appearance was "Heart and Your Soul" . . . I really like that one, too. But I'm quite curious to hear the ones that are new.

Kim's got a great new song up at her MySpace site:
http://www.myspace.com/kimtaylor

And some new dates, including Joseph-Beth Sept. 9 and Southgate Sept. 16 (the latter is Kim "solo and acoustic").

Anyone else besides Dan comin' to see Kim on Friday?? As mentioned, it's a CD release for Noctacula, and you get the CD with the price of admission ($10).

I was planning on going, but I'm not sure I can afford it now. So... maybe the Southgate show?? Shawn, are you recording?

I am recording at Madison--I'll likely be hard to miss during Kim's set. Don't know for certain about Southgate, yet. I may talk to Kim and try to get a feel for just how much she's actually going to be doing there. And I haven't been in the Parlour before, so I'll have to see. Probably.

Re: Southgate... The Parlour is small... skinny and low ceiling... it's a three person show (Todd Lipscomb, Kim Taylor, Wil Cope) for $5. Kim's listed as the 2nd on the bill... don't know if that's truly the order. Most of the time, there's no soundboard (I think), or maybe just a PA with a mic and the guitars are just "au natural"...

My brother might be coming to the Madison Theater Kim Taylor/Noctaluca show... $10 with free CD (of a kickass band) ain't a bad deal.

~fff - np: various artists - great jewish music: tribute to burt bacharach

After the technical difficulties in Kim's 1st (or 2nd) song, she put on a great short set. I love her songs. I do miss Josh Seurkamp and Ric Hordinski a bunch (I don't miss Amos. Amos can go suck an ox.). I think I miss Josh the most, but the new drummer is good... Josh's just phenomenal (and it's hard to compete with phenomenal). I'm looking forward to Kim's album. I saw ShawnF, but he seemed to skuttle off into the backstage area after Kim's set. Saw no one else I knew (other than the performers)...

Noctaluca put on a GREAT show. I haven't seen them in over a year, and I only knew 3 or 4 songs -- one of Jason Ludwig's ("Sister Mary Joseph" from PeLL MeLL), "Monkey Moon" (from their sampler 2+ years ago), "Suck Hard" and "Let Me Down" (from MySpace). Regardless of my knowledge of their new material, they played close to an hour and half and didn't disappoint me. Great live show. I'm bummed that I'll miss them at MidPoint Music Fest... but alas, I think they're competing with Tool or Sufjan Stevens for my ears that night.

~fff - np: ani difranco - imperfectly

Well, I skuttled my gear off, anyway, though I only stayed for the first couple of Noctaluca's tunes. It was Kim's first song in which the guitar went suddenly silent, but things went reasonably well after that, and there were a couple of gems, too. "Midnight Sun" is progressing quite nicely, I think--definitely has developed a bit since the Alchemize show. "Troubled Mind" and "Fading Light" were quite good, too, and I really like "Greatest Story Ever Told." Dan notwithstanding, I'm not sure the crowd was a great fit for Kim, overall--pretty chatty throughout her set.

Regarding "Hit Me" not being on the album--I have it second-hand that it came down to that one or "Bruise" to include, and that she felt "Bruise" was a better fit with the rest of the album. That's a good choice, too

They were chatty during Noctaluca's set, too... a-nnoy-ing...

As luck would have it, Noctaluca is louder...

~fff - np: porcupine tree - stupid dream (the reissued vinyl)

i really enjoy kim's work, love her music and like her a lot personally. but, i really wish she would start playing longer sets, her shows are always very short even as for an opener and only seem to be around an hour or so (some have been shorter) when she's a headliner, i think one i went to was only about 45 minutes long. i love her music and i'd love to support her but, i just can't justify the drive for the legnth of set she plays. hopefully with the new record, new material, etc she'll start playing longer, full sets.

Kim'll be on 89.7 WNKU Saturday Sept 9 -between 10a & 2p Eastern (I'll post a more specific time later) .........just prior to her realease party at Joseph Beth in the Rookwood that evening....Playing a few tunes from the new record & just-a-tawkin'. She'll probably not play/sing live, just music from the CD.

from Kim's myspace:


Last Call For I Feel Like A Fading Light PRE-ORDERS!!!

Hullo! We are still taking pre-orders for I Feel Like A Fading Light via www.kim-taylor.net. Pre-orders are signed and numbered and will ship the first week of September (ahead of the 12th release). Also, the demo version of I Feel Like A Fading will appear on a compilation put out by the on-line music reviewer Fingertips. Go to www.fingertipsmusic.com for information and updates. And some touring shall commence this Fall. Sarah Zike and I will be visiting the Living Room in NY two weeks in a row to perform the new record. Producer Jimi Zhivago will be joining us and we'll be taping the shows for an upcoming XM radio broadcast. Dates will be posted soon but for those of you in New York do mark your calendars now and plan to join us!

We'll talk soon! kim

Kim's site is completely revamped. Several new gigs up, though it's all NY and Boston beyond the dates already known. Still no concrete time for Tall Stacks . . .

Speaking of the myspace site, IFLAFL, People, and Who is Golden are there in mp3 format--I'm pretty certain these are the album versions.

Kim'll be on 89.7 WNKU around 11:15am Eastern on Saturday 9/9, plays (with Sarah) the CD release gig at JoBeth Rookwood later that evening and her slot at Tall Stacks is Thursday 10/5 at 12:45 in the afternoon on the P & G Pavillion....though it's called something else...I think it's the Great American Insurance Stage (good thing they didn't put her on the STARBUCKS Emerging Artist Stage, as I think she may've protested....and not because of *emerging artist* status, either)

12:45 on a Thursday is shitty.
