No Transfers And Going On Extended Vacay



As you can see, I didn't complete a single transfer this week.

Flying out for 9 days this afternoon. A very grueling trip across several countries including 2 airport sleeps. Considering my back pain is a bit higher than usual and my energy lower not sure that's a good idea.

The whole thing was pretty haphazardly put together based entirely on a $109 flight to London I found. and an urgency to travel abroad. Not staying there.

There is a semi-bucket list band as a possibility but only because about all there is left to do with a bucket is kick it. More about just getting out of the country for the hell of it before we transition any further into an entirely new historical era. So there may or not be a post or two depending on what I do.  Kinda crazy to commit to that sort of travel for a show when I don't really want to go here anymore.

When I get back there is hopefully enough gas in the tank for at least 2 more shows.

Then I must attempt the more daunting task of figuring out what to do with the rest of my life. And it ain't going to be this, at least since I can't figure out how to grind a living wage out of it. Also it's just not ringing my bells like it used to and I am less inclined to force it in service to my OCD. And the culling will begin as soon I decide I want to actually take the time.

    It always seemed to me you have been living a great life, seeing (and recording) so many concerts across the U.S. and elsewhere. Believe me, having to work just makes it so hard to do all the things you have been doing.

    Empathy for the back pain. Hurt my leg and can't stand for more than about 10 minutes but still pushed though 4 shows in the last week. Had to sit for most of them and it's nowhere near as fun as being right up to the stage. Take care of yourself.

    Very excited to hear what the bucket list band is.

    Ride on ride on. I got out of America last year and now I enjoy life in Central Europe. It's reminiscent of America 30 & 40 years ago and there's record shops & concerts galore! Got my tickets for Pantera & Maiden next year. Thanks for taking the time to enlarge my collection. God bless w your future.

      Which country did you move to? What made you move and what made you choose the country you're in?
      Are you working there or living off a pension or investments.

      Hungary, savings. The current decline of America & the quality of life in Hungary. Things won't get better unless Trump wins and even then the U.S. is a pariah in the eyes of the world. If Brics decide to dump the dollar, as the Saudis did, the aftermath will be devastating. A lot of Americans are moving to Serbia as well, Slovenia is also a destination. Western Europe is as bad as North America.

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 ...
