Ditching The Blog In Favor A Weekly Radio Program

April Fool's ... NOT

It's been offered and it's being considered. Had no plans to say anything to anyone but figured today might be a good day to mention it.

May not have time or feel it's appropriate to do both since the program will follow a similar theme. And what radio host would field calls like "can you play Stairway To Heaven and send me Led Zeppelin IV"

Also in spite of messages to the contrary I feel it's not appropriate to monetize the blog and seek sponsorship, even "Buy Me A Coffee" and the one thing I would want you to if you offered me a drink at or before show is to buy me a coffee. But it is appropriate to monetize and seek sponsorship for a radio program. Which would go towards some of the same equipment dedicated to preserving history.

Yeah, I know no one listens to the radio anymore. Which is fine with me because I don't like the way I sound. 

We'll see.

    i still love radio (in those few niches where it's still worthwhile) i'd welcome a show by you any day. your wealth of musical history/preservation and experiences would make it interesting to a large and varied audience.

    Dan's Bootleg Hour.

    It could be a weekly show, broadcast nationally on radio, like Westwood One, or King Bisquick (yes, I meant it that way, lol).

    Then all archived shows could be uploaded to your youtube channel.

    Do it. You MUST. ;-)

    Radio was always worthwhile, same as books - after all, as well as a vast boot discography, tales of escapades & meetings with famous deceased people in strange circumstances could be told...

    Your travel and venue stories are interesting reads. Seeing crazy people in and around the bus. Dead Heads do a similar thing on blogs. They play an entire show and stop in between to talk about certain tracks and what was going on tha day. They would have a download link to the show and to the show with commentary. A lot of those blogs now ask you to make an account. Probably a lot of takers and not as much conversation happening.

More transfers on Friday? Possibly.

    I started drafting this a few weeks ago but things keep changing. Feel free to disregard, if anything this is more of a diary / journal entry. I was hoping to have a lot more transfers but there is so much stuff on my February list that wasn't posted in years past that I really wanted to listen to. When the choice is the Itchy Pissholes in Vegas and The Who I will usually choose The Who. And I really have to listen to it as a few had inherent and correctible flaws such as CD skips and were thus trashed. And attempts at upgrades get me the exact same thing. Just merely being a conduit for recordings I have no intention of listening to just doesn't work which is why other than the odd untracked master I am not sending anything out I haven't heard. I always intend to post full comments and review but never do. Maybe next Friday I will have more as I recorded a few things and Vegas Anonymous keeps sending me stuff. Also found a treasure trove of untracked master recordings ...

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...
