Guitar World“It’s a little bit of an odd duck, but it is cool and I would love to use it for recording. It would be a monster in the studio”: Decoding the mysteries of the 1967 Martin D-35S with the slotted headstock
Built to inspire: Yamaha heralds a new era for the Pacifica with long-awaited SC Standard Plus model
"Its thoughtfully contoured hourglass shape is nipped and tucked in all the right places to nestle naturally against the (female) body in a way many traditional designs simply don’t.": Venus Revolution review

The Vinyl Ape 🦧GLENN BRANCA
The Ascension
2014 U.S. reissue
Continuing with the odd and unusual tonight.
A very loud and noisy experiment in resonance, and one of the greatest #experimental #artrock albums of all time.
The album is a study in alternate guitar tunings, and the resonances that are generated by those tunings by MULTIPLE guitars.
It was universally acclaimed by just about everybody in 1981, but that didn’t help sell any records or get Glenn signed by anyone that could help the album penetrate the mainframe.
Four guitarists, one bass player, one drummer, one of those guitarists being Lee Renaldo, who would later go on to join Sonic Youth.
Repeated harmonics, overtones from excessive feedback, and dense sonic landscapes that do a very good job of putting across what (supposedly) his live shows were like.
Loud and powerful.
And a great sounding reissue by Superior Viaduct.
