Quick Update

 
This time I can't say for sure when I will be back. Maybe next Friday, maybe sooner if I have anything compelling to share, maybe a bit longer since I won't be home much between now and then. I know it was slim this week and for a more selective audience. I appreciate everyone visiting and as of now no plans to abandon the blog as I have recorded a few hundred sets this year at least, so please keep checking. If you are looking to see if the repost requests I don't even look at have been posted you might want to try an an open forum such as Guitars 101 or the various Facebook groups as I am just not going to be here much this summer to even post the stuff I want for the first time.

    You're a good and dedicated music fan. You can't let the pressure of posting bring you down and lower your initiative for posting. Enjoy the world. We will be here rooting for you and sending positive vibes. You, my digital friend, have inspired me to start my own blog. I will check in weekly for your stories and posts. Do what you need to do, and come back when you're ready. God bless you, my friend.

    you've shared so much over past year it will take forever for me to give it all a proper listen. you deserve whatever break you choose from your monumental efforts of late. i can't thank you enough for so many great, uncirculated shows of bands i love.
    enjoy life away from the screeen and speakers/phones.

    Thanks, MikeL :) I saw people buying expensive bootlegs at a record show and I couldn't believe it. I told one guy to go online and he didn't understand how to download the shows. So I'm posting everything on my blog and on G101. See you there!

      That's why i don't post anything online because of bootleggers that are greedier than ever and don't participate in the "heavy lifting" required to record shows or find tapes in people's attics or basements before they get thrown away.
      Their sole motivation is to profit from our work and the same individuals probably don't even listen to music.
      I only share via wetransfer to private individuals.

      Bootleggers are almost irrelevant to me now - I know people who buy them, but for the artwork or because they have some form of severe OCD that sees them throwing money at anything with their favorite logo stamped on it. Not really my concern to withhold things over how people express their mental illness.

      It really only bothered me when I was practically starving myself to be able to record shows way back when only to have other people grab them to make money off of. Not much of a problem now.

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 ...
