Outer Sounds 034 - Interview with Jim O'Rourke

[@dennishockaday1509]

Jim sold his guitar amp for ECM cut outs. I love it.

[@pendulumdistinction2494]

Great conversation. Thank you for sharing.

Great interview! Like them talking about local record shops ! I live in the north east of England and the only shop that stocked music I like ( whitehouse , nurse with wound, current 93, death pile, prurient ) closed 10 years or more back it was called alt vinyl ! Now it costs a small fortune buying music online from all over the world ! Import is the main problem since England is no longer in Europe!

Excellent interview! Was stoked to hear Jim talk about FennO'berg. Please bring him back and ask about playing shows with Flying Saucer Attack

104 enthralling minutes...Thanks Greg and Jim

[@ejbarkermusic]

Nice to hear ‘Picture of Light’ mentioned (one of my favourite films)

[@deaccssn2594]

Wild to see that Oswald Elektra cd… I guess Jim and I were doing college radio at the same time. Great talk!

[@wildflowrecordsandmedia6355]

great to hear JOR is a an ECM freak like me.

[@conradclipper]

Love you Jim, great interview

[@allen4866]

If anyone else is curious, Jim is talking about BeOS.

[@monsvenera]

Thanks for this interview.

[@OngoingBox]

very enjoyable!

[@timothydaly7603]

I think he means Oak Park not Park Ridge and that would be Frank Lloyd Wright he's talking about. Val's Halla was a great shop back then.

[@kingdozerr]

Killdozer yeah!

[@mj_dj]

Kind of hilarious that Jim's user name is PutneySwope

[@JamieBarnes11]

Funny the comment about CDs. I'm seeing them come back. Particularly with younger, kind of on trend hard techno prodcuers, particularly with cyberpunk and y2k aesthetics. But also more genrally as people cant be bothered with vinyl more and more

[@gytispetrauskas5383]

Maybe someone recognizes those two musicians that he mentions at 1:37:20? Thanks

[@outersounds]

T2 and jan dukes de grey?

[@outersounds]

[@morrisman]

these dudes spent the first 10 mins flexing on each other lmao who do you know? where have you played??

[@gregorytylerdavis]

lol what are you talking about?

[@morrisman]

did you watch it? the opening is these two checking each other's resume, they clearly have some proximity to one another and it was funny watching them try to navigate around an introduction@@gregorytylerdavis

[@gregorytylerdavis]

@@morrisman yeah that’s me, jim and i are friends, both are from chicago, went to depaul and moved in some similar circles, except jim is a little bit older than me

[@morrisman]

okay but do you understand my first comment now lol @@gregorytylerdavis

[@hawaii_hardware]

@@morrisman it seems to be a social convention of people from boston and chicago to painstakingly describe which specific parts of the of geography they are from and where they have been and when and for what reason
