Northern Wish Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I know there are some huge Slip fans out there.... I was wondering if anyone knew of any free sites where I could stream their music or download some mp3's (keep in mind I'm at work). I have no home computer or burner that is operational right now, and would love to hear some of their stuff. I have none of their stuff, and would like a push in the right direction for what to listen to first. I have seen them but it was at Evolve 2002 and the first night I decided to try and keep up with Pablo Sanchez- and well I don't remember the rest of the weekend. Although I still remember how to play Roggae, Dave! Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 A really easy way to hear a sampling of their stuff is off their site www.theslip.com it's got flash radio and there's a sampling of a couple of tracks off of all of their albums, it should give you a good feel for what they're all about.

AdamH Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Fuhgeddaboutit. Their electric set from the Narrows (11/29/03) is amazing. 11/09/2002 features more amazingness with Flaming Lips covers You really can't go wrong with NYE '99 either. Make sure you've got space though because it's 5 discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I'll second the Narrows- holy fuck is that a good clean show (the second night electric). Also the Japan is hot. For some songs to look out for in terms of their gems: Spice Groove, Yellow Medecine, Honey Melon, Rhythm and Gold, Lion On A Rock, Zion, Alsoa.... They've got shitloads of amazing songs of the newer batch of songier songs there's: Children of December, Come Over, Something Learned, Soft Machine- all of those have a really solid hook and great lyrics.

Del Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 The Slip Friday, August 29th, 2003 Bumbrella Stage; Bumbershoot Seattle, WA source : Microtech Gefell 200 cardiod (DFC, 30' back) > PS2 > Hosa MIT-435 > SBM-1 (Oade mod) > m1@44.1k transfer : dat/m > Tascam DA-20 > AP2496 > SF5.0f > CDWave1.71 > mkw recorded by Ian from Portland; patch and transfer by Miles Abrams *One Set 01. Song-> 02. December's Children-> 03. Nellie Jean-> 04. Get Me With Fuji 05. stage banter 06. Poor Boy-> 07. Sometimes True To Nothing Hands down, start to finish, THE best Slip show I've ever heard. The Nellie Jean-> Fuji is worth a listen alone... Also one of the more "upbeat" Slip shows I've heard... I'd also highly recommend 2003-12-30.

kung Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 That's an odd choice but I know what you mean it's a really clean set. I don't like those short one set festival gigs though and would take a totally different song selection any day. The Narrows electric still has it for me (by the time they get to the encores and they're into the thick of December it is just off the hook in terms of creativity and intensity).

elemeno Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 careful delhead. nero may think your jumping fanships with all your slip talk these days. long time no toke.say hello to Alexis for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Don't get me wrong Kung, I'll take 2 sets over 1 any day. Yes, very clean, but the playing is absolutely mindblowing on this show (in my opinion). All 3 of the guys really get a chance to step and and shine... My favorite Andrew Barr "solo", as well as my favorite Fuji. Brad is stellar, as usual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I still love my nero gator, it's just that people don't seem to mind the Slip talk as much... Give us a call when you're down here next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Thanks, I am going to check out the tunes on their site first. Gotta give it to you guys, that didn't take very long. I am sure I could have found it by myself, but you're all so informative its just easier to post here. Gotta get ready for the Shaker!

Fuckholes Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Ive only seen them once (the frontier show) and boy did they ever kick my ass. Truly one of the most talented bands in our scene... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Holy Crap that server is full! Can anyone point me in the right direction of a truly memorable Slip show say from the last two years. I think every one they have played is on this server and I just found out my IT director is out for the next two days so its a free for all on the 10 Mbps switch network bandwidth around here.

show---whore Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 im listening to the audio stream on the slips site, man there music had end less meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Keep in mind that I only have around 20 Slip shows (so far! ), so I'm far from an expert... I'm looking forward to getting my hands on more shows and seeing them live! That Bumbershoot show is the best show I've heard so far, and I highly recommend it to Slip newbies who are looking for a really accessable, high energy show. Of course, it only gets crazier from there... Some of their early jazz sets from 97/98 are unbelievable, and everything that I've heard from 2003 pushes the limits... They are an incredible band, and pretty much every show I've heard is worth a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
