God Bless Tapers

[Booche]

Seriously.

We have all said this a bunch of times but tonight I am flabergasted. Jaimoe sent me an archive link to The Soundtrack Of Our Lives show we caught back in March, and I totally forgot I had it on my hard drive. Well, here I was making cd's and clearing up space (obviously to download more.)

I remember being at the show and thinking "Well Booche, you wont ever be hearing this one again" and sure enough, I am getting my chance to re-live our night. Jaimoe, POG and Cowboy, this one is going to come your ways if you dont already have it. Thanks for the good times that night.

BradM, Weirdness, Blane, Esau, Tungsten, DaveO and HeadyGouda (and the others I am completely forgetting) thank you all for your hard work. It is far more appreciated than you probably know. These days, it almost seems so expected even though it aint at all.

Booche note:

The following link is an MP3 file, for those that forget what dial-up might mean to those not on dial-up.

Forgot how cool nero were. Tons of delay on the guitar but very tasteful. Thanks Brad!

because of taper folk, the archive is full of good music accessible at the click of a button. contrast this to the dark days of analog where tapes were a magical mysterious thing, and you were thrilled to have the hissy bassy 5th generation dub of the show you saw

Cheers to the real tapers thats for sure.I wouldn't consider myself one,as I have only done a few shows & only one probally gets listened to (JMATS)...well,going by all the complaints I recieved about my others (Fat Cats & TWC).I prefer to stick to the converting of analog tapes to CDR or to archive now-a-days...if I didnt record it, I don't get the shit for the quality...that much.

Again,I'll cheers to the real tapers.

Heck yeah... Like Smokey Robinson & The miracles... I'll second that emotion!

Thanks for the thanks guys!

Must say though, it's not a selfless task. I love taping shows as much for myself as for sharing it with others.

A quick story from 2 days ago about why i like taping: I was jamming with some people here in Montreal and on the ride home with this guy I'd met for the first time I asked him if he went to the recent Wilco Montreal show (he was playing wilco on his car stereo). He said no, but he'd downloaded this great recording of the show from the internet. I told him I was the one who had recorded it and he was so thankful. It's fun to make those connections.

Anyhow, no plans to stop. Stay tuned for more.

Thanks so much you guys. It is absolutely amazing to be able to hear shows from bands, side projects, hybrid collaborations, infamous clubs and legendary dives that I would otherwise have never been able to experience.

I am so thankful for all of the work that you guys do.

[Davey Boy 2.0]

cheers indeed

[Tooly]

THANKS GUYS!!! for letting us all listen to good shows that weve seen and would love to hear again

CHEERS

[bouche]

I think blank CD manufacturers should be adding plenty of thanks too. I can't believe how easy it is to fill up blank CD's and DVD's with the recordings we get to download so regularly.

THANKS TAPERS!!!
