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 page but not sure what else I can do. Just be sure to check in every Friday.

Just moved my Elvis Costello folder out of the Music Archive to a discard folder on a different drive so the culling process has begun.

 

 

 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

May have at least a few transfers done. Never went out at all in the last week. Decided I didn't want to pay $75 (or beg for a cheap ticket) to run room to room at the L7 Fast And Frightening Fest to catch as much as possible when all I really wanted to see was Flames Of Durga and The Paranoyds.

Mostly just smoking weed and geeking out on my music or just spinning my wheels but I can throw down a few track markers in the morning. Maybe I need a new project I can be excited about.
 

 

 

Back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done.

I might trickle out some DVD's I wanna clear off my hard drive as time allows. Or not. I am kind of at a loss what to do with all my video. I have way too much. I was always battling that scarcity mindset that comes from only having access to The Song Remains The Same in the 1980's and good quality video was expensive and very hard to come by until the DVD trade era in the early 2000's. Now I am completely buried under it. So I gotta keep trying to free myself and make myself more selective. But what really irks me is people sitting on things with that 1990's mindset when they are only a few years out from it being completely worthless. Because anyone who wanted to see it is already dead.

Thinking of selling off some hard drives. Not as a profit point but to consolidate into some bigger drives. "Losing" things with all the small drives I have laying all over place even with a 10 slot hub. Thinking of replacing my 10TB internal drive with a 20-22TB for starters.

Also wondering what the hell to do with all these DATs and spindles of discs I don't want anymore.

  1. very polite of you to mention. Most folk just go silent for a while, then reappear. Thank you. Your courtesy is a positive aspect of the headspace this hobby is taking up, methinks.

    2. What a pity... By the way, I downloaded ALL the Ramones/related shows. Thanks a million for that, Christian from Argentina (Ramones second home)

  3. I'd be interested in the DATs - but I'm in the UK and postage alone makes this most likely an untenable solution

  4. for your dats & cd-rs, you can always sell them for $1+postage on ebay (by packs otherwise it will become another chore). or if you want to finance your new hdd, put them on bid. with all you have shared, you are allowed to do this lol

    2. wow that was fast. I am too happy I found this posting. thx from the bottom of my heart, as they say in the us. you made a big carl perkins fan and musician very happy. These live snippets are also a great inspiration and CP is not a very heavily bootlegged artist, so it's damn fine when something more unusual gets shared.

      I also want to respond in regards to the trouble you are dealing right now with all the material/storage/organisation. You already mentioned the keyword and seem to ve very aware of the actual solution, that does not suit my taste either. But I have been at that point earlier this year and had to make the decision to even delete a big part of Clapton/Beatles live stuff and other outtakes, as it all got so much, that it would take numerous lifetimes to enjoy or even analyse the material. Being more picky in first place is key, just like they do it in archives (havin a certain focus, rest is irrelevant and needs to be covered/collected by others/eith other "responsebilities"). and even the stuff of artists of interest need to be valued to a certain degree (after some criteria such as "everything", "certain era", "certain line ups" etc.). Yeah, it is tough...All the best!
