"Grape notes": Johnny Moped was the other act at this show and that set is being shared separately. This is being offered as both 16/44.1 and 24/96 file sets for those who care about one or the other or both. Please support the artists and live venues any way that you can. Enjoy and SHARE!

This was just something I was trying to make a priority of listening to before filing away. This is the 24/96 version and I swear that was an accident. I do not have the Johnny Moped set.

    Nicely indeed. I bet this'll sound ramshackle - could they play their instruments at this stage? - but that's what makes The Slits great.

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...

Anniversary Posts Are Back! (Or are they?) Or is it still back on Friday?

 I cracked open the text file where I copied in all the anniversary dates and decided to listen to some overflow shows I never got to in years past and arrange at least the next few days. As usual only posting stuff that's been listened to and only if I feel like listening. The amount of garbage shows with CD skips and the like is pretty incredible. CD skips? Really? The fact that I am the only one who makes a note of this just confirms most of us are mindlessly feeding the OCD monkey clicking and downloading anything to file away in case they find a cure for death and want something to listen to in 500 years. That and more than 3 bursts of DAT diginoise gets the recording deemed useless and the folder automatically deleted. Doubt I am resurrecting the method for good and definitely not redoing anything. If anything this might signal me demoting myself to passive listener. In the meantime, enjoy and reshare. More transfers on Friday. I did go to the first show of 2025 Friday though...

Band Of The Month - Iggy Pop / The Stooges (updated - 2020's + more)

  since I called Oasis band of the month a few months ago let's try this again. This may include video a little further out.

These are scattered across several different collections so it's always possible something is missing. Can't say I am on the hunt for anything except maybe random LA shows I might have missed.  Working on 1980's now but might not be til tomorrow or a few days. Every post or 2 will be a separate decade and might wrap up with some odds and e...
