	Tiny Mix Tapes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Of course, in normal O'Rourke weirdness, the man is looking to get laid, but accidentally picks a "sleeper." The song fades on a repeating outro that leaves the listener without finality, letting us feel the frustration that the man was feeling as his number was coming to a close.
		Chicago native Jim O'Rourke (Gastr Del Sol) is viewed by many to be a post-classical composer who is a key player in combining the classical styles of Europe and mixing them with American folk and free jazz.
		O'Rourke's precision with the acoustic guitar and his ability to create memorable melodies with a single instrument acts on a behemoth level, despite its minimal approach.

		Jim: And they always used to tease me about what was under their skirts and like dare me to lift their skirts with a ruler.
		Jim: No! But I do remember one thing that I said to her when I was little was that I knew girls didn’t have penises.
		Jim: Yeh but you can’t simplify it that much because if a man is gay and it leads him towards more social behavior more like a woman then he’s more informed on certain things because he’s grown up with those interests blah blah blah but that’s just a case by case basis.

	Jim O'Rourke - Insignificance
		But recently, after listening to "Downhill From Here," the memorable first track on Jim O'Rourke's new album, Insignificance (Drag City), I briefly considered rounding up the boys for a reunion tour spanning rec halls, gymnasiums, and suburban living rooms across the Northeast.
		He's left his mark as producer/remixer/engineer/boogie-twitcher (the latter was credited to O'Rourke in the liner notes to Brainiac's 1997 release Electro-shock for President) on releases by Stereolab, U.S. Maple, John Fahey, Tortoise, Will Oldham, and Faust.
		O'Rourke is backed by a group of players drawn largely from Chicago's indie/alt-county/avant-garde scene, most of whom have also played with him on various solo projects, off-shoots, and incarnations.

	Interview with Jim O'Rourke
		O'Rourke's education would seem to have had little influence on his musical work, as for the most part it was based firmly in the post-serialist tradition; here, music is written according to a strict set of rules and a student's work can be judged according to its adherence to those rules.
		O'Rourke isn't reactionary enough to suggest that this education was a waste of time, acknowledging that all the time spent learning techniques like counterpoint was relevant to his musical work.
		O'Rourke is only too well aware of how the improvising scene is very political, with the people you get to work with often depending on who you have worked with before.

	Jim O'Rourke: Insignificance: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		These may be pop songs, but they're hardly missing the signature O'Rourke touch-- they may start with over-amplified guitars, but they all give way to something else, be it harrowing steel-pedal and harmonica, or a long blast of feedback.
		Jim and I don't agree on much, but Insignificance is catchy enough-- and real enough-- to make me look beyond all that.
		The result is a shockingly insightful and resonant look at the workings of a musician generally more given to hiding behind absurdly twisted turns of musical phrase than letting us in on the inner-workings of his mind.

		O'Rourke has become the ultimate stealth musician, a nearly ubiquitous presence in new music as producer, instrumentalist, composer.
		O'Rourke began with some of his lovely Nick Drake-ish songs, fingerpicking intricate parts on an electric guitar with a touch of woozy reverb and a discreet bite of overdrive.
		O'Rourke just kept repeating the guitar phrase over and over, John Fahey minimalist style, as he was joined onstage by Okkyung Lee (cello), Matt Heyner (bass), Tim Barnes (drums) and Chris Corsano (drums).

	Jim O'Rourke
		O'Rourke's latest LP on Drag City records is called Bad Timing, and his experimental music - most prominently exhibited in Gastr Del Sol - might be deemed inaccessible by some.
		More recently, O'Rourke was one half of Gastr Del Sol, a loose avant-garde rock collective whose other main member was Squirrel Bait/Slint alum and fellow eclectic David Grubbs.
		Since 1989, O'Rourke has close to 30 solo and collaborative releases to his credit, not to mention the slew of albums he's produced by a diverse clientele including folk-rockers Smog, experimental guitar-picker and personal hero John Fahey, and plush-popsters The Sea and Cake.

	Emma Blowgun's Last Stand: 1997 interview with Jim O'Rourke
		The disjointedness of the interview is due to the fact that there were bits in German between the segments.
		I did my best with accuracy, but Jim says "like," "you know," "I mean," and "sort of" in almost every sentence, so I had to leave some of that out.
		It's just not me. I mean, I'm the kind of person who would rather, you know - I mean, I know a lot of people who are involved in that world, not so much musicians but people who are like presenters, or record label - and they have this kind of.

		Different combinations of musicians were playing all the songs on successive nights and no one knew in advance -- including sometimes Becker and Fagen -- who (if anyone) would end up on the final track.
		Actually, Jim O'Rourke's last couple solo albums have clever, misanthropic lyrics with complex but catchy arrangements.
		MUSICIAN: Well, the only other thing on the record that seems obviously borrowed is "Glamour Profession." The rhythm and feel of it, and the way the synthesizer/horn vamp swings against the pulse sounds very much like Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band.

		For their live performance they composed a set of material specifically for the concert and virtually relocated their studio to the stage to properly recreate it.
		Nine musicians playing only acoustic instruments (aside from electric guitar) were heard natural and unamplified from the stage while extensive electronic processing, heard through the speakers, rendered radical tonal, timbral and temporal modification creating an incredibly unique and strange sound world.
		In addition to running the label, Philip was one half of the DIY electronic group STORM BUGS, and regularly collaborator with a then unknown musician by the name of David Jackman (one of these tracks they did together was recent issued on a 10" by Die Stadt)." - Anomalous.

		I only discovered Jim O'Rourke's music a few years ago, when I happened upon a Gastr del Sol album with no discernible title encased in a CD cover painted gold containing no text or information.
		Of course that's an exaggeration, but he has appeared in some way or another on so many albums over the last 10 years that his discography looks like a table of contents for a who's who book on improvisational, folk, and independent music.
		I wanted to present a situation where someone is engulfed, the musician, by something much more important maybe, by something bigger than simply playing the guitar.

		You have every right to be jealous of a guy who already has an incredible track record and will no doubt amass an array of noteworthy projects in the future.
		When I was younger and began to really find the idea of being a "musician" more and more upsetting, I moved to just doing prepared electric, and wasn't playing the acoustic at all (this is around 19-25).

		While this group of the musicians had known each other for a while, they had never formally collaborated before on the stage or in the studio.

		There they lived and played both for some time as street musicians, who played their compositions even at Parisian subway, hence the band name.
