See You Friday

I meant to post a next post Friday days ago.

Real slow on transfers and Vegas Anonymous is on hiatus. I almost went to the Linkin Park show tonight. I don't think I ever heard a single song but I like Emily Armstrong. Tickets were crashing hard, could have got in for $40 easy but found out it was already being covered by multiple people who have me outgunned on microphones and probably seat location.  

I will at least have some mystery drive stuff I found that didn't have info files and turns out was never posted. Whatever else I can finish I will write up the info files and post. Spending a lot of time cleaning up old raw files on the HD and figuring out what they are and opening act / spoken word stuff I just wanna process out of the pending folder into completed stuff and backing up more of that stuff to DVD - worst format but only marginally more secure than HD only.

    I believe Blu-ray discs are safer than DVDs. I have a Pioneer Blu-ray writer and use Verbatim discs to backup stuff. And I found a cheap realiable cloud service with FTP (Hetzner Storage Box). And I know you didn't consider the idea in the past, but maybe think of giving us the opportunity to donate for cloud storage space.

      I never got into Blu Ray only because it's a much higher cost and DVD in general is such a shitty format. I might go back but I am in no way going at the level I was the past few years. As far as I am concerned I transfer the recording, put it up and it's up to others to redistribute, or not. I don't wanna run it as an on demand site even for donors. Also really want anything financial to be above ground and documented for tax reasons. I had some serious IRS troubles a few years, not evasion but so overwhelmed with no idea what I was doing and just making the money consumed nearly every waking moment.

      Totally agree with you on now wanting to be an on-demant uploading service. The only issue is that people here don't write to thank you and others have no idea who downloaded what. For instance, I download most of the Aerosmith stuff you post, but even I missed some stuff (I wrote about it in the Aerosmith dedicated post). And I would gladly redistribute what I got from you, but I don't know how others can ask me for stuff or how I can get in touch with other people that downloaded concerts I am interested in. Bottom line: we, the people that downloaded from you, need to figure out a way to get in touch with each other for redistribution. And that would take a load off your mind regarding re-uploading stuff...

      I've tried to refer people to ask on the G101 request board in spite of it being a total garbage site with dickwad mods. Also I am just so buried under content that the who and what matters a lot less than it did in the tape trading days.

      I've requested a few shows on G101 and got no replies. I've even tried contacting mediaaddict, who's uploaded tons there, to no avail. G101 looks like a total leeching forum. I'm thinking of building a blog myself, to give back what I've gathered over the years, but it'll only be Aerosmith-related (Joe Perry, Hollywood Vampires, Steven Tyler etc.).

      I am fine with leeching as some people just wanna listen without being forced to participate and I am fine with that. Even if I am pretty much limiting now my participation where the assistance of others is required to keep them available whether it be torrents, G101, personal blogs, whatever. But everything is just as disjointed as it was in the tape trading days if a bit easier to find. That would be a great idea though. We need a more visible platform concentrating on Aerosmith only even if to shake loose some new shows.

      I've had the domain name for the project for a while now, but I guess I'm just lazy. I will be woking on the website this weekend and maybe have something up by the end of next week. Your positive energy is inspiring, I needed a nudge to get me started :) By the way, are you planning on adding more Aerosmith shows to that folder? Cheers!

      Eventually, I just have to delete another folder to make room. Also I tend to not want to post stuff I haven't actually listened to since just brokering shows back and forth ... I don't consider it a good use of my time but I might still fill some of those request anyway even if I am kind of Aerosmithed out.

      @Alex Check out Soulseek. I've met a few other dedicated traders on there.

    Thanks for all of your sharing! I also wanted to say I cannot stand the mods at G101.

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 ...
