Look What I've Got
Robyn Hitchcock and the Venus Three plus Two equals REM
2007-01-07
The Zodiac, Oxford, UK
Audience recording from centre stage, one row back from front.GM-PRO mics & battery box -> M-Audio Microtrack 24/96 (48khz, 24 bit) -> Audacity (track splits/levelling) -> FLAC (44.1khz, 16 bit) -> TLH (fix SBEs)
"My initial levels were a bit high, so there is slight clipping during the start of Adventure Rocket Ship. I adjusted the levels in Audacity to compensate. Other than that, no changes were done, and it sounds pretty good to my ears: a good mix and good separation between the instruments. I lost the last minute or so of Eight Miles High due to this running much longer than expected. If anyone has a complete Eight Miles High that would be great."

Haven't you heard of sharing. Anyone else who wants this can find it here http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=129367
Anonymous is correct, though s/he is unable to determine the appropriate usage of a period vs. a question mark, and fails to mention that Dimeadozen has restricted membership, and fails to consider that none of those who comment here regularly are members of Dime. Also, anyone here who has expressed to me even the slightest interest in bit torrenting (2 people so far) has received in return FAR more information than they ever wanted/used.
On the other hand, several have inquired as to specific items posted, all of which I mailed to them free of charge. Not sure if that counts as "sharing." So, I'll share this, "FUCK YOU!"
But, thanks for dropping in.
Oh, and I just remembered...one of my original regular commenters IS a member of Dime. In fact, he's the one who explained the whole bit-torrenting thing to me. So, to him (you know who you are), I apologize for not posting the link.
Man, I have a bad temper these days.
Whew! That was close!
I love the "Fuck You". Sometimes that's all that is required.
That show sounds amazing.
Life is like that, always full of amazing things!!!
You're the coolest kid in town. I'd like to know more about bit torrent. Can suggest any websites where I could get more information?
I knew as soon as the show was over that I had recorded something special, so processed it and uploaded it as quickly as I could. Within 24 hours more people had downloaded my recording than had attended the show. Many people took the time to say 'thank you'. Only one idiot took the time to say 'fuck you'. Have a nice day.
Oh, and here I thought you dropped in to insult me at random. It turns out you dropped in to insult me while fishing for compliments. My mistake.
Well, IF you are truly the taper and/or uploader of the show, thanks. In fact, next time I show up at your house unannounced and piss on your rug, you can rudely dismiss me, too.
Grant: Check out http://wiki.etree.org/index.php?page=BitTorrent
You'll be off and running in no time.
A friend is downloading this for me & putting it on a disc 'cause I can't get on dime either.
Waiting with bated breath! We had a similar 'treat' in Seattle in 2005 - Robyn and R.E.M. minus Stipe - a kick ass gig!
That you Matthais? a.k.a. "Anonymous"
Was it you that taped the show? Thanks!!!
Hee! My 'test word' is "zmmfp"! How appropriate! :P
You are the F*CKINGEST coolest kid on the block! Have I mentioned lately how you're my hero ... how you were my first blog crush (as documented on my navigation bar) ... how I'm hosting the first blog baby shower for the latest version of Haahnster? Oh, and I have a new address ...
Beth: Email me your new address and it's all yours.
Anyone would be lucky to get a good review or a fuck you from the Haahnster!
