Pink floyd - Azimuth Coordinator 3 Parts (6 Discs) & the Tale of The Dog Bite ...

Hello and good evening.
I got bitten by a dog about two weeks ago now.
It was pretty terrifying. Just walking across the road with my 9yr old kid and felt this collie sink its teeth into my left leg on the thigh. Pain ensued as I tried to free my leg and the dog was growling like it had rabies or something.
I spent the next three or four minutes wrestling and trying to get the bast'd thing off my leg and it wasn't trying to make it an easy game...
Eventually I pulled my leg toward my body whilst pushing the dogs neck/head away and telling the young girl holding the lead to 'PULL NOW' just at that same time, and it was free.
The result was a bit of a chunk out of my leg.

I have censored the pic below but, feel free to click on it to open in a new window, the wound, uncut. Hehe.
If you are eating, don't bother.
You don't need to see this.
No one does.



The music today is a rare treat. Ok I know, it is in MP3 and not FLAC but this is great to have for the personal MP3 player so grab it.
Pink floyd - The Azimuth Coordinator Discs.
1975 - 1980

Or in slightly more detail, three shows released as a 3 disc set:
WISH YOU WERE HERE - Vancouver, B.C, April 8th 1975.
ANIMALS - Montreal, Quebec, July 6th, 1977.
THE WALL - Los Angeles, USA, February 7th, 1980.
As the titles suggest, each show plays the tracks from those albums they are named after.

The more musically addicted of you - or those who do not know the magic of the portable MP3 player, may be asking WHY 128K? Why no FLAC?
Leave a comment here and tell me about it. I have the FLAC too.

I just like to share a scene released version of stuff sometimes as they do a great job on a rip and to be honest, in the ipod this sounds great.

UPDATE! - I re-ripped the FLAC files to a higher bitrate MP3. those scene release MP3s were just too low. I think they sound OK but 128K? Naa.
So now I bring you the COMPLETE set of 6 discs, ripped to HQ VBR 256-320K MP3.


I'll leave the review to the one I read myself. I'm shite at describing music sometimes and tonight is one of those times.
It's Pink Floyd, it's great friggin' music, the quality is nice for a bootleg.
***

On the Animals show:
This was the last show of the 'In The Flesh' Tour where Roger gets upset a couple of times.
At 'Pigs On The Wing' a fire cracker goes off (and not for the first time) which makes Roger so angry that he stops playing and tries to put an end to it by speaking the famous words: 'Oh for fuck sake [...] I'm trying to sing a song'.

Later on in the show, Roger allegedly spat a fan in the face ("Who was told not to spit on the fans" :-).)

David Gilmour apparently wasn't too pleased with this performance but he surely was wrong.

The show was awesome. One (if not THE) best versions of Pigs.
Steaming and powerful.
Roger can clearly be heard shouting the numbers (90 and 61)
Not just for the events that took place, but also from a musical point of view, this show is highly recommended.
***
On the Wish You Were Here show:
The crowd certainly was in an evil mood that night, you can tell
by listening to this record. Nevertheless, it makes for a showcase
of Floyd at the height of its power (save some of the vocals, as usual).
There is some remarkable, moody intensity saturating the event.
Much has been said about the show, climaxing with the final,
feverish rendition of Shine On You Crazy Diamond parts 6-9.
I would only like to mention David Gilmour, who for me reaches his
crowning event in the midst of the maelstrom of this concert.
Just listen for yourselves.
The pre-Comfortably Numb Gilmour's finest hour. -ANON

I dropped the password too and am even considering using 7-zip or some other open source compression instead of this cracked Winrar all the time...it's boring, always updating..

DO YOU USE FIREFOX?
If so then go and install Greasemonkey add-on which then enables you to do some great tricks for downloading files like these..
Now install the script for greasemonkey, called Rapidshare Links Checker. The task of this fine software and script is to make all megaupload and rapidshare links automatically LIVE and CLICKABLE, like the ones on this page for instance, no need to ever copy and paste a link again. Plus it tells you if the link is dead or not on the filehost too. Without leaving the page.
Try it...rapidshare links checker

Bob Dylan & the Hawks - Hartford 30 Oct 1965 [FLAC] [bootleg]

Hello again.
Wow.
I'm on a roll here it seems!

Today I bring you something a little different. Well, it's Bob Dylan so nothing different there but it's Dylan in his very early days, playing with a band, 'The Hawks'. which is actually 'The Band' as you will no doubt have heard before, only with a member missing and another added!
Go have a wee read here if you wish.

Further info on this recording is here and I highly recommend you go read it before downloading!
This is an audience recording and, as I just learned from that link, was recorded on a Woolworth's handheld tape recorder. Quality is not great. In fact it's not even 'good'.
It's distant, it's got noise, crackles and well ... don't be expecting to put this on CD and have a crystal clear sound. It isn't happening! Hehe.
However! This is great to listen to for many reasons.
The first being that you get the chance to sit in on a concert that would have been great to go to ... Dylan, in his formative years, singing some of those tracks that were bound to become huge and are now classics that we all know.
You can almost hear the songs taking shape before they grew into the songs we know today.
I wouldn't recommend a new Dylan fan to listen to this as they may not feel the magic that I feel when I hear it, but to anyone who is a fan and loves early Dylan, you MUST get this.
You will not be disappointed!

CARMEN (Bizet): Grace Bumbry, Kostas Paskalis, Jon Vickers, Mirella Freni Conducted by Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos.[FLAC]

Hello again!
More bloody opera I hear you say?
Yep!
This is the version that came as part of the Audiobook set I posted already. It is different to the Maria Callas one and I recommend it...it's great to compare too, hard to decide but my favourite has to be Callas just because I love her voice so much.
Mind you, after just typing that I felt that maybe I'm not being truthful to myself hehe! For when I listen to Grace Bumbry, on this version, her voice is beautiful too!
Oh I don't know. I'm not exactly an expert on this stuff.
I just listen to it and I know what sounds good.
This sounds good.
OK?
So if you didn't get the audiobook I already posted then do so now!
this is your chance to be inducted into the world of Opera!
A world you maybe thought you would never have an interest in?
Me too.
Now get the audiobook and the discs in this post too, then sit yourself down and have a listen.
Let the music take you on a journey and really allow yourself to hear it.

Some Details.
EAC Rip in FLAC with CUE & LOG Files
Total: 828 MB
Show recorded: 1970-71
Here is an excellent review of this one at amazon.

'... This 1969-1970 studio recording is a valuable recording all opera lovers and hardcore fans should own because it's the original Bizet concept- the Choudens score featuring spoken dialogue. This provides an immediate, realistic, visceral and verisimo quality to the opera, and Bizet wanted it that way. Carmen is not a pretty story. It's a dark, cynical tale about a liberate Gypsy woman who corrupts an innocent soldier/mama's boy who becomes so obscessed and possessive of her he kills her when she becomes unfaithful. Furthermore, the setting is the dangerous world of smugglers. The opera includes a nasty brawl in the cigarette factory, seduction and a murder. Yet, for all these things, we are treated with beautiful music where sex as power is the undercurrent and moreover, Death as Fate is the absolution. No wonder this was philosopher Friedrich Nietzche's favorite opera!! In this recording, we are blessed with the best possible interpretors of Carmen and Don Jose- Grace Bumbry and Jon Vickers. They have electricity coursing in their confrontation scenes, and genuine chemistry. Vickers portrays Don Jose as a strong but mentally unbalanced man, who is consumed by passion and jealousy. Grace Bumbry makes for a realistic Carmen. ...'

CARMEN: A guide to understanding and appreciating opera (Audiobook) FLAC Rip EAC

Hello..just a quick post here to share with you, a book I got from the library at the same time I got the Maria Callas Carmen Opera.
This book is .. well, let me put it in the publisher's own words...save me typing eh! Not only that it will no doubt me more succinct!

The Black Dog Opera Library presents the world's foremost operas, from the most respected composers, performed by the finest singers, conductors, choirs and orchestras. Each tide comprises three CDs - one introductory and two containing the complete opera. The introductory CD includes background information, a synopsis of each scene and act, and biographies of the lead performers.

Everyone knows Carmen - the melodies from Georges Bizet's score are among the most familiar in all of music. But the opera itself is a mesmerising drama of fatal attraction, startling in its erotic power and violent intensity, seductive in its imagination and potent musical personality.

VIDEO! Paolo Nutini LIVE at T in the Park 2009 (AVI or MKV)

Hello
As I said yesterday, here is the video of that great Paolo Nutini set at T in the Park 2009.
Have a little read of opinions of the show here to give you an idea:
Here, Here, Here and Here!

It's a faultless set in my opinion. There isn't much I can say really as I just love the guy's voice and could listen to him for hours. Not much chance of an objective review here!
If you like him then you must download this.
If you don't then I'd say it's time you reconsidered cos this guy is on fire here!

I got the file in MKV format which is high quality but a lot of people won't know what to do with such a format..or, they won't be able to just burn it to disc and play it on their DivX player (Like I have! they're great!!). so I decided to do a conversion to DivX too, and have also upload this as an AVI file.
So you can take your pick really. I'll just give some technical stuff on each file and then the links.
Enjoy won't you!

Paolo Nutini LIVE at T in the Park 2009

Hello folks.
I know. It's been too long. Let's just get straight to todays offering which I am rather pleased to be bringing you, not only for the fact that you will NOT find this anywhere else but here!
An exclusive no less!

Over recent month's I have become a fan of this guy Paolo Nutini. His voice is just excellent, real soul.
I was surprised to learn he is from a town called Paisley, near Glasgow in Scotland.
Why?
well just take it from me, I've been there a few times and it isn't the sort of place you'd expect singing to come from. apart from the singing drunks that are in the streets that is.
It's not the most pleasant place you can visit. Apologies to anyone from there but it's really a dump. Or how can I put it? the people there are a bit um.. boisterous?
That's one way of putting it.
I think it's safe to say that if you go there, not knowing anyone, trying to go to one of the pubs for a quiet drink, you may find yourself getting either threatened or just subjected to random attacks of a violent nature! Hehe! It happens!
On with this music...
I searched all over for such a long time, trying to locate what I knew had been released on newsgroups, which I do not subscribe to. I did in the past but I couldn't justify the massive amount of downloading and was requiring too much hard drive space! (Don't let me put you off cos' those ads on the left there for usenext, that's the place I used and you really do have free reign to download everything and I mean so much stuff that you end up going a bit mad at first! Plus so much of it never makes it to torrent land or elsewhere so can be handy).
So there I was searching the net for this file and eventually I actually found it waahaaaay!
Paolo Nutini Live at T in the Park, the video of it.
I have uploaded this file and will be posting it tomorrow but, for now I am giving you the audio which I ripped from the movie.
The format wasn't MP3 to start with it was mp2 which most people wouldn't want. I therefore converted it with the least possible quality loss. Decode to WAV, then recode to MP3 with a high bitrate.
It sounds great.
His performance on this is fucking amazing.
Seriously.
I may be biased of course, being such a fan already but, have a listen and tell me different!
He only has two albums out and it seems that bootlegs are a rare thing of his shows. there is one going around from 2009, a gig at Dunfermline in Scotland. I have this too but the audio quality is baaad.
An audience recording and it's just poor really.
It's worth a listen if you're a fan but, even then, it's hard to say anything other than it sounds like shit!
This one, on the other hand is crystal clear!
Ok, I'll leave it at that for now.



If you have been living in a box (as I apparently had been, being so late to discover this guy when the rest of the world knew of him ages ago/!) then have a read at

wikipedia

and familiarise yourself with the guys story.

Then have a listen to some brilliant music.
The movie of this show will be posted tomorrow and, as it was in .mkv format, I have made and up,loaded two versions. A divx avi file and the original mkv file for those that prefer it.
Both are great.

Track list
1. New Shoes (3:46)
2. Pencil Full Of Lead (2:50)
3. Candy (4:49)
4. High Hopes (3:22)
5. Alloway Grove (4:34)
6. These Streets (3:53)

NEW! GONG - 8th Sept 1975 -Marquee Club,London **UPGRADE** (Cleaned and fixed) FLAC

Before we launch into Bob Marley Bliss here is a choice nugget for any hippies out there that are still clinging onto the (laughable) ideal that was..er..well just a cloud of smoke really when you think about it. That is assuming you can still think and are not a vegetable due to too many mushies ...man.
This is a great line-up of the ever mutating and evolving band known as Gong. I always loved it when the worlds BEST guitarist was playing with them, he is for me, the gong sound.
I am talking of Steve Hillage of course.
Beats that twat Hendrix hands down! Hehe.
What you are getting here is an old post but with new links of a cleaned up, better version of this show. It was never great quality anyway but some very nice people have taken the time and effort to improve it considerably so I bring this new improved version to you now.

Woohoooo! Not long until I go see them play in November!
If I could tape it I would.
I have no means or knowledge so I can't!


Track List
1) Intro (1:34)
2) Aftaglid (15:28)
3) Tuning (1:39)
4) Oily Way > 6/8 (8:12)
5) Tuning (1:21)
6) Solar Musick Suite (20:25)
7) Bambooji (9:45)
8) The Isle Of Everywhere (10:27)
9) Get It Inner (3:25)

1) Tuning (1:21)
2) Wingful Of Eyes (7:19)
3) The Salmon Song (10:11)


Hehe.
Enjoy this.
Some parts are of dubious quality but overall it is a rare and enjoyable glimpse into an old live show from 'Planet Gong'.
UPDATE: This is definitely BETTER than the link that used to be posted here as this upgrade really sounds improved but, still, there are poor quality parts.


FLAC Files.
The show is in 5 rar file parts.
They are all uploaded to Rapidshare and Megaupload.

Re-Upped! David Bowie - Live At The Kit Kat Club, NY [Nov 1999] ++GREAT SHOW!!++

Sorry but no time tonight after a long day of feeling ill.
I have been letting this thing upload all day for you so here's a great album and I just love it.
I feel that Bowies voice is too often underrated or overlooked so please, if you are not a fan, try this out!!
Just give it a chance and listen!!
this is a very mellow and relaxed show and Bowie is in fine voice and mood.
It's just sweet!
The opening track is a stunning version of Life on Mars ... he proves why he is still one of the top performers and still going strong on that track alone. The rest of the show unfolds like a flower on a lily in the centre of a cool, calm pond.
Wow, poetic or what.

Here is a page with images of this very gig for you to peruse...
Oh and another thing...want some cover art for this one??
The only cover I could find is erm...Baaaad. I will be creating CD Cover for it soon so I'll post it if anyone wants it too.
NOW FIXED!! LINKS:

Re-Ripped! Carmen - Maria Callas - Bizet [FLAC] [3 Disc+Scans]

Hello my friends...
Now, you may remember not too long ago that I was harping on about going to the opera with my good lady who cannot be named...? We went to Brighton Theatre Royal and we watched 'Carmen' which was an incredible experience..the music was fantastic and almost as good as the many pretty women with cleavage showing dresses on, running all over the stage all night!
Heh.
The music was better.
Honest!

Well did you not wonder that one day, I may have to inflict said music on you...? Surely you didn't think I would skip over it?
Ahaa! You were wrong!
Here it is, just for you that hates opera...the best version I could find. If you have better then get sharing it with us all and let me know in the comments!!

! ! ! NEWS FLASH ! ! !
I have finally finished this...
I got the 3 disc set from my local library and ripped it with Exact Audio Copy to FLAC files...
It is now uploaded to Rapidshare and megaupload so pick your favourite and go get it.
Actually, even if I do say so myself, my rip sounds better than the one I had here before.
Plus there isn't a track missing on this one!

I can even furnish you with a bit more detail this time too.

Maria Callas - Georges Prêtre & Orchestre du Thèatre National de l'Opera de Paris
Do
Carmen (Callas, Gedda, Guiot, Massard) - Georges Bizet (1875)
Recorded in 1964 in Paris.
Discs : 3 CDs
Format: FLAC
Size: 729Mb in Total
Scans of covers & Booklet included.

I don't really think a track list is required for something like this.
correct me if I am wrong as I am going to trust my instinct and restrain myself from using google to find out.
Google has become like an all knowing god these days.
I must resist!

So yeah, that's about it.
I really hope you enjoy this and I urge you to try it if it's new to you.
this is coming from someone who would readily take the piss out of opera not too long ago.
Yet this is just ... it's great.

ALL LINKS UPDATED AND NO CORRUPT FILES!
All three discs links are listed on the following sites.
(NO malware or anything, just simple sites to paste the links into).
Very useful so ?I may just use them for posts of multiple links from now on.
If it bothers you for some reason, let me know!
Also - I have started to include instructions on how to repair a rar file, inside the rar comment. So, if you get an error opening a set of files, please just read the comment in the rar file and you will be able to fix it in no time. All my files now have a recovery record which means they are fixable should they become corrupt at RS or megaupload.
I stopped using a password too.
It just complicates that which should be simple!

There was the odd comment coming in to say that the rar file for part 3 of CD3 was corrupt. I downloaded it and sure enough, it was. However, more of you NEED TO LEARN how to repair a rar file. All my files use the recovery record feature in rar files and I downloaded this corrupt file, repaired it in winrar and, it was working fine!
So I should probably make a video tutorial on how to repair recoverable rar files as it is a brilliant feature which saves you a lot of messing about trying to redownload a corrupt file and it not working! When you know how to do the repair then you can usually fix 9 out of 10 'bad downloads'.

Time to buy a Rapidshare Premium Account...?

Hello again. This post is entirely about YOU buying yourself a premium Rapidshare account so that I can gain the commission from referring you. There. I make no bvones about it my friend.
Now, does that mean I am going to go on and on about the amazing virtue of having a premium account whilst actually thinking it's a load of bull?
No.
I would never talk about something and promote something I thought was a load of shit. The ads at the side notwithstanding, I don't have complete control over their content so take those with a pinch. If I am to mention something in a post then rest assured it is because I think it is worthy of such promotion.

So why is rapidshare so worthy all of a sudden?
It isn't 'all of a sudden' actually. I have been using a premium account in RS for a while now. I somehow manage to keep it going by various methods which include my posts here and also posting some files up to avaxhome or other sites where they will get a large number of downloads which, in turn gives me download points which add up and can be exchanged for an extension on my premium account. I usually manage to get enough for when the renewal time comes around but if I don't then I use the donations here to renew it via paypal.

What I am asking you today is simple.
If you do not have a premium account but you do make use of Rapidshare and download a lot, let me tell you, having a premium account really is a boon. It's the place I download probably 80% of all the music or other stuff I download. It has become HUGE and everyone knows now that the easiest way to find ANYTHING online is to simply search for the word you are looking for and add +rapidshare into google.
I used to use different methods to enable me to use free rapidshare and use it like the premium service. It worked fine. Sometimes it was a lot of hassles but generally I could get it to work and would queue up downloads and leave them overnight etc to be brought to my HDD without me having to buy a premium account.
The program I used, USD eventually became crap. It was pretty much abandoned by its original developer, the alternative program, rapget also became a bit of abandon-ware too. both programs are still kept going through a Russian warez forum but to be honest it really isn't worth all the messing about trying to decode Captcha codes, trading different captcha servers, etc etc. I got tired of it so I bought a premium account and after that...I haven't looked back.
I don't have cash. I don't have hardly enough to get by some weeks but if I can manage to get enough points then I keep my premium account.
OK I suppose I should get to the end of this at some point today :)

So if you would like to buy yourself a premium account then all I ask is that you use my link to do so. This gives me a small return commission on your initial outlay.
In this way I can hopefully increase the 'donations' amount here because I am really short of cash lately and, not being well enough to update the site as I used to, the donations have pretty much dropped off. Not that I use the donations for living!
The actual point of the donations is this: I wish to marry my girlfriend in Tromsø, Norway, land of the midnight sun and we plan to go there and get married when the sun is not in the sky.



We hope to be able to visit the very North and see the Northern Lights too as my girlfriend would love to see them. I know this is something that she would really love and I must make it happen.
So, I cant work and seem to be unable to earn from home. I would like to be the one to pay for this wedding as my girlfriend is the one who works, obviously, so I feel that I never am the one to pay for things.
I know this is not exactly, 'earning' but it is something I am doing on my own to finance something important in our lives.
It hurts me a bit that I am unable to work and earn and just pay for it in the normal way. Life is as it is though so you do what you can do and live with it.
I'm rambling as bit again eh...?

OK lets finish this now.
Thinking of a Rapidshare Premium Account?
Please use THIS LINK to buy one.
Thank you.
Music coming later today :)

================

I will continue to upload primarily to Rapidshare and Megaupload too. I will however try to add a third mirror where possible or if a file is particularly busy and people want alternatives. All I am saying is - Don't worry! I am not going to start only posting to RS or something. I like to try and earn the points and referrals if I can but the music is still more important around here. If you can't download the music I post then there is no point.
I do actually want you to HEAR it you know!

Arctic Monkeys - Crying Lightning Video

It's been a while since I heard anything of the Arctic Monkeys. What about you?
Obviously in their absence they would have grown up a bit since their schoolboy looking days when they released their first album.
I saw this video online the other day and I was quite surprised...The song sounds nothing like their previous stuff. Then there is their appearance which has changed a lot too. they seem to be going through a bit of a grow your hair long phase...
What bothers me is that I just can't get into this song much at all. It makes me wonder if they don't know what to write about already. Most of their old songs are about situations on the streets up North where they are from. Maybe they don't get much of those experiences any more.
whatever, seems to me like this grand and overblown song is a bit shit. Seems to me like a band trying too hard to be too amazing...I mean, look at the video!
It sucks.
I hope they find a better direction soon...

Check out the video of the track...sorry I didn't upload it to youtube as the format was wrong ... then I converted it to avi and sent it to youtube and the aspect ratio looked awful on there...all squished. so I just uploaded the damn thing to some filehosts.

Paolo Nutini, John Cale & Electric Six

Just a flying visit to post a couple of video clips I just upped to youtube.
These are on the Jools Holland Rip I posted so if you were wanting these as avi files, you could always cut them out of the full show I posted or, if you really want them and can't do it, let me know and I will just upload the cut tracks as avi files to a filehost.

Been very unwell of late.
I feel better today so things are looking up it seems.
We shall see. If it works out tomorrow I'll do an update I've been wanting to do for ages...




Watched Paolo Nutini playing on Jonathan Ross TV show in UK and it was just amazing.
I should be ashamed to admit this but, as I think of myself as some kind of music guy and, yep, I hadn't heard the song and have never even bothered to give Nutini a proper listen. I remember getting an album in 2006 probably and right away just saying it was shit and I never even posted it here as far as I know!
Hmm.
Yet when I saw him on this show and the performance being so incredible and captivating, I realised the error of my ways hehe.
I went and found some of his music and more on video.
I now think he's pretty special. His talent is obvious, his music is different and has so many influences that you can sit and try to pick out of every song you hear...he is rooted in the old days. Jazz, blues, folk and there's such a hint of the Scottish style songs of storytelling that you find a lot in bands like The Corries etc..
Anyway here is the performance I'm talking about:



-----

Next up well ... no surprises here really, it just took me so damn long to get it uploaded!

Electric six Danger: High Voltage in glorious technicolour just for you...have fun!

I saved the best til' last!
John Cale doing Venus In Furs and what a voice.

Get into it.

Later With Jools Holland - Even Louder [DVD-RiP] [2005] XviD

Hello there.
It's been a while.
Got some great video for you today so I hope you are in a downloading mood cos' there's a fair few files to grab.. still uploading to megaupload so I'll have to add those links probably tomorrow but the rapidshare ones are there for now.

Someone complained to me about the fact I post links to 'lix.in' and 'paylesssofts' too instead of just posting the direct links. I agree they have a god point. In fact if I am brutally honest, I get so irritated when I am at a site and I want to download something and the links are all for some other site that I can';t quickly add to my downloader or whatever!
I started using lix.in etc as the links weren't lasting very long when posted so it was the thing to do at the time, 'protect' them by having a redirection along the way. the theory being that this at least stops automatic harvesting of the links...or stops them being found easily in a search result that is specifically searching for rapidshare links etc. (The obvious problem with that is that of course people can easily search for the redirector site name instead right?)
The thing is, as weak as this theory went, it did work. Links lasted longer when not posted as direct links!
Why? Don't ask me. Maybe the people who would normally take the time to stop and cmplain about the files you were posting, are just too lazy to do it if they have to click a few times first?
I can't think of any other reason really but whatever. It worked so I keep doing it.
I have posted the odd thing recently and not bothered redirecting and the links are still good so...is it time to stop doing it?
I'm not sure so, I won't! Hehe.
But I WILL offer anyone who is irritated a GREAT solution!
There is a site called ShareLinkDevil that handles loads of different types of links and brings you back the real direct links for you to quickly copy into a downloader program .
It's great cos' I hate uploadjockey links cos' the site has so much crap on it, sometimes I can't download unless I disable adblocking, then the ads are sometimes containing malware so it's a shit site but, get the uploadjockey link, go to ShareLinkDevil and paste it in and you get back all the mirror links for sites like rapidshare, megaupload etc and they are in a list so you can easily copy them!

So there you have it, my promotion of the year so far.
Get there now and start using it for ALL your links not just the irritating ones from here! In case you missed that link: http://sld.icr38.net/sld.php

The video. I haven't told you about it yet. Hmm. Let me tell you what I got told about it hehe...

Hey I can help the link collectors out there as I only need to post one link, to a folder at rapidshare with all the links in it. I really ought to do that more often oops.

PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOAD:
People were reporting to me that they were getting erros on these files when trying to extract the video file. The reason is that sometimes files become corrupt on the file hosts servers. For this reason I always check the option in winrar to include a 'recovery record'. All this means is that each rar file, as well as storing part of the video inside it, will also store information that enables it to rebuild and repair itself, should this corruption happen.
I downloaded each file and tested. As it turns out, there are three files here that need the repair function to be used on them.
Please don't worry as it is VERY simple to do.
I had to completely replace file number 4 so, when I uploaded a replacement I also included full info in the comment of the rar file, on how to do the repair process in winrar.
Please go read this document I quickly wrote to assist you in the repair process.
It consists of a few extra clicks and then you will have the file fixed. I tested and all is working well after you repair three of the files.
The three files are:
part 5, 12 and 13.

It's hello from me ... and it's hello from him

Hello.
It's been quite some time since I was capable of this shit. I hope there is still at least one reader...?
Probably not. Oh well nothing like an online place to just talk shit and let the madness out of the head for a bit.

I watched a great 'download' - is that becoming a verb like google..? Not quite.
Anyway I downloaded a video name of 'Jools Holland ... Louder' and thought it would be good to sit and watch whilst my lady had her bottle of wine and me, well I prefer something that can be smoked and that grows naturally all over the world. Oh and the thing I prefer is ILLEGAL too for some strange reason. However, illegal things are never tooooo hard to come by. (Although it always friggin' seems that way when I run out).
Did I go off on a tangent there...?
So, the Jools Holland thing. It was a collection of bands that have appeared on his show but these were selected, I assume, for their LOUD-ness quality. Some pretty heavy rock from recent years. Not too recent...most seemed to be 2003.
Well fuck you, that's recent to me you young *!$%£*^!!!
I could go search the details on the Jools Holland show but, two reasons that wouldn't be so great:
1. I feel too ill and can't be bothered.
2. I'm not finished creating an avi file from it yet to upload so no point giving the details about it now eh?

So what AM I posting today then...?

From that video I 'discovered' or actually I should say REdiscovered as I have tried this band before and wasn't impressed either way so haven't listened to them again as far as I am aware (I am not always that aware though), I am talking about Electric Six. (See the madman smiling in the pictures)
Of course everyone has heard 'Gay Bar' even if they only ever heard it by watching the dancing kittens clip!
So really, to me now, they are a new band! I am now in the process of giving them a good ol' proper listen. I will report on the findings when the study is complete.
The thing is, as soon as a certain track started I was kind of mesmerised from that moment.
I just love it.
So that is all I am here for today, to share the song with you and just to let you know that yes, the site is still alive.
Cos' I am still alive I suppose..heh.
some days I am not so sure though.

The song... Danger High Voltage by Electric six.

Soon.

Howling Diablos - Green Bottle [1998]

Hello people.
Been watching tennis? I know so many people think it's boring but I love a bit of Wimbledon I have to say.
Federer is at the moment beating some guy who's name I can't spell and making it look easy...
In other news Micheal Jackson died. Yes I saw the story unfold as it happened, from the reports of it from TMZ and then to other sites as it came out.
It's weird. Do people care? Really? Everyone thinks of him as a weirdo paedophile as far as I can tell and that's probably right but, this being a music blog I can't let it pass without saying something about it.
Not exactly one of my favourite musicians he was bloody good at what he did.
The king of pop? Probably. Just good. Great even.
That's all I need to say.
The guy was sad and weird and a good musician and showman.
I'm not going to talk about any of his 'legal issues'...
He died. RIP and all that.

OK! ... Today is a great day!!!
I discovered a band yesterday and have been listening to this album so much I really know it well already...
Don't you love that when you can get into some tunes soo much that you quickly know half the lyrics and all the subtle changes in the music etc..well that is how this has got me today.
Not only is it a new band, I'm shamed to say it's (almost) a new genre for me too.
The Howling Diablos.
They are, simply put, a funk-rock band.
They play heavy and really funky rock music and they play it well.
I knew it was a bit new to my ears when I realised I couldn't really compare them to any other artist I could think of ... apart from maybe the Red Hot Chilli Peppers but then I have never given them a chance at all any way. I just never liked them. Not sure why. Some music clicks with me, some doesn't.
It's that simple.
Well the Howling Diablos have clicked.


I'm going to leave you with a sample track from this, probably my favourite on the album...hmm..maybe, yeah OK, 'It's My Party'.
Enjoy. (I know the quality is poor, sorry I seem to have lowered the bitrate a little too much when I did it for uploading. the one in the links is of good sounding quality!)



Oh and this is one of those where I want to highly recommend you go and BUY their stuff if you like it because I fully intend to get me some myself!
Their site is here.
Their album (a different one) is here.

Bob Dylan - 1965 San Francisco Press Conference (Video)

Hello there.
Ill health is a bitch and yet again has been getting to me a bit much. Things are happening with the hospital to try and sort me out. New treatments etc. Fingers crossed and all that.

Now! When I first saw this I was totally blown away. Not only had I somehow been led to believe that Dylan had no real interviews of any length recorded, but also that he didn't give proper press conferences either. How wrong I was! This may be the only press conference he did (I think!) but it is no less amazing for that.
He's young and seems to be chain smoking whilst having a bit of a laugh answering the questions with, sometimes, quite irrelevant answers.
I have to say it's a sign of the times on the video that the questions are just so...well you'll see what I mean.
This is a fine piece of history we have here. I have watched it so many times since I found it and it never really tires or fails to amuse or interest me.
I was going to rip another Dylan Bootleg DVD for you so I got one called 'Compilation #1 'Just a Song n Dance Man'.
It has a few performances on it, mostly old stuff and then it has this full press conference at the end.
After I ripped the whole DVD I was converting it to XviD and I noticed that all of the other stuff has already been shared with you as it is also on the other 'Telecasts' discs I uploaded. So, not wanting to reupload the same thing again I just took the press conference from it and have encoded and upped that for you.

Please don't miss this chance to see it in better quality than youtube for a start! It's a special video for any Dylan fan but it's also interesting to see how times have changed, in the way the people are, the questions they ask etc...it's fascinating to me.

Bob Dylan's 1965 San Francisco Press Conference

When Bob Dylan's five concerts in the San Francisco Bay Area were
scheduled in December 1965, the idea was proposed that he hold a
press conference in the studios of KQED, the educational
television station.

Dylan accepted and flew out a day early to make it.

He arrived early for the press conference accompanied by Robbie
Robertson and several other members of his band, drank tea in the
KQED office and insisted that he was ready to talk about "anything
you want to talk about." His only request was that he be able to
leave at 3 PM so that he could rehearse in the Berkeley Community
Theater where he was to sing that night.




At the conclusion of the press conference, he chatted with friends
for a while, jumped into a car and went back to Berkeley for the
rehearsal. He cut the rehearsal off early to go to the hotel and
watch the TV program which was shown that night and repeated the
following week.

This is the only full length press conference by Dylan ever
televised in it's entirety.
²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²

GONG - 1995 - 25th Birthday Party (Exclusive!)

Hello hello hello.
It's been a while I know. A hospital appointment here and there and then a trip to the theatre (which was the first time in my life!) to see Carmen the Opera which was a mind blowing experience indeed.
I thought I might be nodding off but after about a minute or so of being there I was loving it.
I'm now planning to see many operas. You may, like me, think opera...naaaa. but you must give it a chance!!!



The whole theatre experience just washed over me and I really got into it.
Anyway today I bring you yet another GONG piece of work but this one is pretty special and was sent to me by a kind guy on another site.

Bob Dylan The Improved Genuine Telecasts 1963-2002 DVD 3 {DVD RiP} XviD

Hello world.
I do wonder how many ears or eyes this reaches. After so many times of failing to update and being too ill to bother, I developed a slight fear of looking at the site statistics. It used to be a couple of thousand or more a day. I know it isn't that now but I also know I can scale it up again once I am healthier and able to put the work in. When I am able, I still post the same and I would even if YOU were the only visitor.
You are!
Hehe.

So, no Theme Time.
A lot of people will be walking around in utter misery at this time. Some may even contemplate suicide.
Well I am here to stop suicide!

Today I am happy to announce that, finally, the man who promised to bring you 6 DVD rips of Dylan Telecasts has actually got his finger out of his arse and been working on some DVD Ripping. (Remember Disc One and Disc Two?)
It is here!
Dylan Telecasts Collection, finally I bring you Disc number Three.
Have a wee look at the screenshots here. You can click an image to see a larger one.

It's taken a bit of work and time but I believe the effort is worth it.
I am posting a clip of every track on youtube, as I did in the past, but you will be able to download the higher quality full Avi files of the rip.
I split it into two 700mb avi files encoded with XviD.
So much of this 3rd DVD was taken from old VHS transfers and other sources of varying quality that I'm afraid you just get used to it when you watch. If you were expecting HD then go away now hehe!
Bear in mind though that this is the BEST quality of these recordings to be found anywhere and so very likely no others exist.
The rips I did have not degraded the quality enough for you to notice much. I put the XviD version on my TV and then I put the same track on from the DVD...I really could not tell the difference! Honestly.
So let me just grab and paste a few details about the disc here and then furnish you with the links you will be needing.
Oh and rapidshare links are being uploaded but, not until overnight tonight. They are coming, just be patient if you can only use rapidshare.
Megaupload is up for now.

As I've said in the past, if you want to read the info on this collection then go here but there isn't much more than what I'm telling you as that is where I get my information! Hehe.

Time for the boring stuff now.

My new found love! Amy Winehouse Live Belfort 2007 {DivX Video}

Hello again and happy wednesday to you!

I only recently decided to give Amy Winehouse a chance and I sat and watched a show of hers that was on a week or so ago on BBC. Well it was just brilliant.
she blew me away.
(there's a grotty joke in there somewhere but I won't be doing it).
Not only do I find her wildly attractive for some reason but her voice is a world of it's own. she is hypnotic and I would be willing to bet, she could get me to do anything with those hypnotic eyes and voice...

Yummy


Lecherous behaviour aside, let me just bring to you a real nice bit of video for you to download, of her doing a show in France in 2004 and the quality is great too.
Without further ado, enjoy!

PREVIEW...

Daevid Allen (Gong) - Eat Me Baby I'm A Jelly Bean [1998]

Hello again if there's anyone still listening to this rather sporadic blog.
I can only inform you of just how ill I am and have been, again lately. This is the reason for my absence and only now I think it may be getting better but, the nature of it is that it's unpredictable and also annoyingly inconsistent. what makes me feel better today may make my symptoms worse tomorrow. It gets difficult to know what to do after a while.

I'm sure I must have mentioned it but..hehe just let me indulge that again and tell you that as I AM GOING TO A GONG CONCERT in November, I have been listening to them and getting to know all the stuff I used to listen to in my hippie days...I came across this brilliant work by Daevid Allen, playing with a band he has put together and the music is unlike any Gong you will hear.
I used to say 'I hate jazz' and I did. With a passion you could say.
I think it was many nights of late TV watching here in the UK. For some strange reason they used to put these incessant jazz shows on that would last for hours. Just free-form jazz playing. The music seemed to me to go nowhere. I like music to have some kind of anchor. Structure. I don't appreciate it if it is so far gone that it just keeps changing and morphing and evolving without bringing you back to something you can anchor on to. I don't know if I'm making that clear. I know what I mean!
Well Gong have been one band that have brought me dangerously close to jazz in the past. In fact listening to them and Steve Hillage I have had to accept that there are definitely some forms of Jazz I really like.
I think as long as it has structure then I love it. The chords that are played are amazing. It really has a lot going for it but, has to have structure.
Free-form jazz?
Stick it.

So. This is Daevid Allen playing Jazz.
Cool lyrics, quirky music. What can go wrong?
What a feckin' brilliant record this is! I've now listened to it about 15 times in a couple of days which is unusual for me, unless it is Hendrix.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Really.
It would be good to imagine you might take the time to leave a comment on what you think of it, but alas...I know you are far too busy eh.
