When I first heard Right Here Right Now it was kinda annoying but it's hard to grab me with midtempo anything. It wasn't I heard Idiot Stare off the following album Perverse that I was immediately hooked. My friend who saw them a few weeks prior at the Universal Amph said they were kinda like a techno Cheap Trick. I think they fell into the trap where their one hit single wasn't really representative of their sound so the people who dug the single didn't like the album and they completely missed their otherwise target audience.

Fast forward to 2002 and they are booked at the El Rey Theatre. Head down and hang out with a few fans outside. Wait for them to open. And wait and wait and wait with the presumed door time coming and going with just the handful of us still waiting. Someone makes some calls and finds out it's canceled and they sold so few tickets it wasn't worth it to even send anyone to the venue to put a sign on the door.

Fast forward again to 2019. A friend is going to England for a bunch of Suede shows and a Jesus Jones show in November. I consider going and even tell him, a seasoned international traveler to let me the know the flight info etc so we can split expenses and save me, with only 1 international trip under my belt, some basic research so I can follow him out of the airport instead of spending too much time Googling the basics.

Between the time he tells me he finally booked his flight and me looking it up a few hours later, the price had jumped. And I suddenly got too busy with work. Work involving summer 2020 events, so I let it slip away. Later on the plague ravages the planet, the shows are canceled, no money made and all the work futile. I guess some sort of life lesson can be learned there.

Then Nov 2021 it looks like I might have a redo with more Suede dates and Jesus Jones at the 100 Club which I bought a ticket for in early 2021. In the end I never booked it and hit up any UK taper I could find on Dime asking if they would record the show for me. Every last one said no, except Chatts99 who said it wasn't possible but would do the following night in Bury St Edmunds for which I am eternally grateful.

MISSING - a tape I had from Boston 1991, need to go up a gen. Just found out there was a Chicago Metro 1990 FM broadcast. There was also a webcast in Jacksonville 2002 according to a Yahoo group at the time but I was unable to secure the recording. Need that if it exists.

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

back on Friday

Lots of crashing ticket prices but unfortunately I didn't feel like spending 6 hours on the bus to Inglewood and back so I have been taking it easy this week. And finishing transfers. Same old drill, I will write up the info files Friday morning and post, possibly deleting stuff to make room so if you have been dawdling on anything, grab it now because once it's gone, that's it. None of the stuff I was threatening to do in lieu of staying home and working on tapes ever materialized. Too hot, too complacent, THC burnout, etc.  + + + And again. Since I spent $229.60 on a concert ticket last night I will probably skip Herbie tonight and a bunch of other stuff I had on the calendar but it was so worth it. More time to work on transfers and get stuff up and out though.  Same old thing, if I have any new transfers, I will write up the info and post on Friday. A lot of the stuff I listen to like one or 2 songs at a time, throw down the markers, get bored and move on to something e...

Back On Friday

 I guess this means I will be back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done. Which ain't much.   * * * *    I will be back next Friday with at least the uncompleted projects I was trying to get up the other day. I didn't go to a single show in the last week period. I have a bunch on my calendar but other than the Prima Donna show I bought a ticket for, who knows what I will end up hitting. I just got a text from the dearly neglected saying "we should go see Billie Eilish" but I think she was one and done for me at least until she hits the corndog circuit. I might take her down there, find her a ticket and turn her loose inside like I did for the Foo Fighters Santa Barbara show but not spending "real money" on my ticket. I also notice stuff on the blog disappearing beneath the fold - when you click "more posts" at the bottom of the first page, it cuts out a huge chunk of content. Like 6-10 entries. I tried changing the amount of posts per ...
