Torrent of the Day: My Morning Jacket - Bonnaroo 2008

One of the biggest surprises of Bonnaroo for me was My Morning Jacket. I have enjoyed their last two albums “Z” and “Evil Urges”. However, I certainly wasn’t aware of what a staggering live show these guys can put on. With the help of saxophonist Jeff Coffin, the Nashville Horns, and Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, My Morning Jacket put on a nearly four hour long party. The band played a majority of the songs from their last two albums and a couple songs from their older albums. They also spiced things up a bit with a diverse sprinkling of covers from Sly & the Family Stone, Funkadelic, Erykah Badu, Kool and the Gang, Bobby Womack & Peace, and Velvet Underground. They closed out their late night set covering Mötley Crüe’s “Home Sweet Home” with comedian Zach Galifianakis dressed as little orphan Annie. Enjoy.

Torrent Of The Day: Dark Meat (4/27/2008)

I finally got around to listening to Athens, Ga's Dark Meat. Very interesting stuff. As I listen to Universal Indians, I find myself really loving the extremely weird stuff, but not so into their particular brand of southern rock during the more accessible parts. But despite my own subjective hang-ups with them, they are certainly worth looking into.

Record was cleaned before transfer but some low level vinyl noise is still audible.The recording is taken from the circulating Japanese pro shot video (Shibuya ON AIR EAST), and was just a tad hot at the start of Arcarsenal, but the levels were quickly adjusted by the filming crew. Any edits made by the manufacturer of this lp were left intact.

The album and jacket are very nicely presented, with awesome artwork on the front cover, and as stated above, the vinyl is a butterscotch and cream swirl pattern.

There are some some great shows floating around The Traders Den right now, so here you go. First, there's this Arcade Fire:

Arcade Fire 2008-01-30 The Forum, Melbourne, Australia (FLAC)

While we wait to see if that TMV Atlanta show actually happens, here's something to keep us busy. This is the first time The Mars Volta have ever done an FM broadcast of their show, so pick this essential one up:

Torrent of The Day: Explosions In The Sky (5/5/2007) (DVD)

As I write this, tickets for the Explosions In The Sky show in April are still available, but I doubt they will be much longer, so go get yours now fool! Here's an awesome 3 camera mix DVD of a show from last year:

Explosions in the Sky 2007-05-05 Vancouver, BC [3-Cam] (NTSC)

An insane amount of work was put into this. I'm guessing close to 50 hours. The biggest reason was that I pretty much had to do this twice as my HD died when I had it complete the first time around. Angles were mixed in FCP, menus made in photoshop and authored in DVD Studio Pro. 24p and film damage filters were added to try to 'average' out all the angles. I was thinking of doing full motion menus, but Apple Motion had a steeper learning curve than I thought. No selling/ebaying and all that stuff. I don't make a penny off of this and neither should you. I've got plenty more where this dvd came from, most which would kill this one. I'd hate to have to have to stop sharing because of a couple of bad apples. I won't be seeding 24/7, so no whining. oh and a waffles invite would be much appreciated.

Torrent Of the Day: Joanna Newsom (11-17-2007) Atlanta, Ga

We didn't get a chance to talk about the amazing Joanna Newsom show a few weeks ago so here it is for you to download. She played Ys from front to back with ASO and it was flawless. The second set featured only her 4-piece "Ys Street Band" and some solo action. It was definetly one of the best shows of the year for me. Thanks to Page Hall for some pics:

Review by a member of the now defunct Q And Not U in the washington post:

Tuesday, October 2, 2007; Page C05
Thurston Moore
"I don't shut up, I grow up. And when I look at you, I throw up." you might remember that classic playground taunt from the '80s coming-of-age flick "Stand by Me," but it's also an apt description of Thurston Moore's performance at Rock & Roll Hotel Saturday night. Almost 30 years after forming legendary rock outfit Sonic Youth, the 49-year-old singer-guitarist is still making a racket, unfurling cuts from his new solo disc, "Trees Outside the Academy."

And then there's the "throw up" part: Moore discreetly puked on his guitar during "Off Work" -- a grungy new instrumental reminiscent of Sonic Youth's 1992 alterna-hit "100%." Thankfully, the illness was only momentary and the poor guy laughed it off, dedicating his next tune, "Fri/End," to "my friends" at a certain local eatery where he'd dined earlier that day.
Moore may have been strumming an acoustic guitar, but things got plenty noisy thanks to a backing troupe that featured Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, No Neck Blues Band bassist Matt Heyner, violinist Samara Lubelski and guitarist Chris Brokaw. The four players added grit, but without overpowering those evocative melodies that perpetually reside beneath Sonic Youth's distortion-happy outer crust.
The set's highlight came early with "The Shape Is in a Trance," as Moore's guitar work evoked both classic Sonic Youth and the weathered melancholy of Neil Young. Forgive the expression, Thurston, but that jam is totally sick.

22 What A Waste

Taper's notes: I was in the second row center for the first 4 songs, but the pogo/pushing/screaming/blasphemous shouts ;-) were just unbearable, so during the 'Cross The Breeze coda I moved back a bit to the side of the stage in front of the left speaker stack. There I stumbled into some good friends of mine and everything became a sort of celebration, a bit of small talking, screaming and singalong added by the surrounding crowd (not too good for the recording....sorry), but we didn't talk while they played, so you'll hear a bunch of banter and stupid sentences in Italian/local dialect between the songs. All in all I think this is a pretty decent audience recording, especially considering this has been my first "taping" experience ever without a soundboard input and I never tried the Edirol "on the field". The sound was pretty good, Kim's voice a bit too low in the mic maybe and the drums not too clear, but no major issues. I had to switch the channels because I "wore" the recorder with a sort of necklace, and could not point it towards the stage as you're supposed to do with it.

Not sure on the new song names. Number 1 seems obvious enough, 6 is correct, 11 is hard to tell - the night and i??, and 12 should be the name of the song - but probably isnt. Great covers too.

Notes:

I bought this as a boxed set in a cd store by my house in dallas
in 1997. It cost me ~65$ us. The packaging is a bronze/brass box
with an embossed Pearl Jam logo on the front, and the entire track
listing stickered on the back. The sticker on the back also states
that is is one of 1000 ever produced. It was used when i bought it,
and i have only played it a limited number of times.

The important parts of the booklet were scanned and included along with
this release. Some of the files are originals (scans, most of this txt
file) from when I posted this to stg in 2003 as shn files. This is a
new rip, all of the files were ripped with no skips detected by eac.
The cds were badly scratched when I purchased them, I have repaired
them once, and this is likely to be the last time the originals
see a cd player/drive for quite some time.

Enjoy...

Torrent Of The Day: Roger Waters (5-22-2007) Phillips Arena, ATL

The Roger Show last Tuesday was awesome. Despite virtually the same show for the fourth time I've seen him, it still blows my mind. My favourite part was the rednecks booing the new anti-Bush song and the flying pig with political graffiti on it. Here's some phlogs from the show:
