[Bootleg] Broadcast’s Krautrock Hoedown Finale

4046087340_af951b71c1_b [Bootleg] Broadcasts Krautrock Hoedown Finale

I am completely in love, perhaps an agape love, with the new song Broadcast has been ending all their shows with on the current tour. You know the one I’m talking about… the one with Trish Keenan shredding on a customized electric dulcimer. Like, total “My Dear Companion” meets “Astronomy Domine” meets “Autobahn” meets “Fight For Your Right (To Party)” action. Ya know, the krautrock hoedown. With the help of Pretty Creatures‘ warm analog tape bootleg of the show (you can download it here), I grabbed the finale, cleaned it up a bit (with just a couple of compressors, filters, and a peak limiter – no manipulation of the actual sound), and am providing it below for maximum damage (you can grab the cleaned-up-a-bit version here). No one knows the actual name of this song yet, so I’mma call it “Dulcimer Jam.” Because it features an amplified dulcimer. And it’s a jam.

[Bootleg] Grouper at ATP

img-grouper_183203818619 [Bootleg] Grouper at ATP

While I’ve always enjoyed Grouper’s recorded work, she’s a whole other beast live. The first 15 minutes of her performance at last month’s ATP festival *slamming head on desk for not going* is nothing but the most epic nature music ever. Flying over mountains, exploring oceanic trenches – her live shit is stratospheric and aquatic. I can’t stop listening to this excerpt. Thanks WFMU for winning at everything.

You can grip the entire bootleg here.

[Bootleg] Lotus Plaza Plays Live in Atlanta

Lotus+Plaza+lockettpundt2 [Bootleg] Lotus Plaza Plays Live in Atlanta

You may remember in our interview with Mr. Lockett Pundt last spring that he said he may play live, and if he did, he would try it in front of friends in Atlanta. Well, he’s done just that. Mucho propso to the Aquarium Drunkard to getting me hip to this recording from Tuesday night (originally posted at ol’ Bradford’s blog – Internet moves fast, ya’llz).

[Bootleg] Atlas Sound @ All Tomorrows Parties

atlassound [Bootleg] Atlas Sound @ All Tomorrows Parties

Told ya the bootlegs would come fast. Yesterday’s Atlas Sound ATP set is provided below. Lots of new stuff, lots of jammage, lots of Bradford gabbin’ and trying to fix his shit on stage. Enjoy.

Also, my boi Nathaniel from IGIF is at All Tomorrows Parties NY right now (bastard) and he’s reporting that B Cox told the crowd later that night during the Deerhunter set that yesterday’s show will be the last for the group “in quite a while.” This might be disconcerting if you don’t consider the fact that “quite a while” in Deerhunter years probably means “a couple of months.” I’m sure attention will turn to Atlas Sound, Lotus Plaza, and whatever other side projects the dudes are instituting in the interim. Fear not (hopefully).

Logos is still set to come out on October 20, which will be a super Tuesday (new Tickley Feather and Do Make Say Think also drop that day), courtesy of muhfuckin’ Kranky. Considering how much free shit Bradford gives you, buy it when it’s out. Seriously, guys.

[Bootleg] Ride – Live Light – France, 1994

livelight1 [Bootleg] Ride - Live Light - France, 1994
live_light_vinyl [Bootleg] Ride - Live Light - France, 1994

I recently stumbled upon this impeccable DAT soundboard-quality bootleg of a November 1994 performance by Ride, though bootleg may not be the right word. This recording often appears on the band discographies, but Ride never gave permission for an “official release.” Hence, before the mighty intarwebz, Live Light was available only in Japan.

Particularly special about this recording is that, given the date, this was probably the last document of the original Ride in their prime. Carnival of Light, released earlier that year, was Ride’s White Album. Chief songwriters Andy Bell and Mark Gardener were majorly bummed on each other, creating a huge rift in continuity on Light. Bell, as you may know, went on to join Oasis after the group’s demise in early ‘96. Talk about a rebound date.

Live Light was taped in either Lyon or Nancy, France according to the Ride Gigography. The album’s liner notes don’t specify. Either way, it is absolutely necessary for any shoegaze fan to have this swan song document of the genre’s premiere artist. Hence, I’m offering it at the link below. It’s the CD version of the bootleg. There was a light blue 2LP version as well that featured two songs not available on the disc (”Twisterella” and “Drive Blind,” the latter I’d love to hear). If anyone has those jams, holla at ya boi Bloggins here.

[Bootleg] Oneida Live at Primavera Sound Festival

 [Bootleg] Oneida Live at Primavera Sound Festival

The mighty WFMU brings the goods once again, archiving a soundboard quality recording of Oneida’s insane performance at last month’s Primavera Sound Festival (known for its beautiful ambience along the Spanish Mediterranean and the location where Wavves lost his shit but I totally don’t blame him for it). The recording includes an Acid Mothers Temple-esque, undeniably evil, kaleidoscopic, 43-minute brain busting rendition of “Each One Teach One.” It’s fucking ridiculous and delightfully unnecessary. I feel stoned listening to this right now. Love this band.

Unfortunately, the kraut punk collective opted to not play any new material from the forthcoming Rated O. But who gives a shit – it’s Oneida, and it’ll be good. Nevertheless, the group will be celebrating its July 7th release with a couple of stateside dates, and a couple of European ones, too. The domestic rockshows will feature some big ballaz – Amps For Christ, Sunburned Hand of the Man, Wooden Shjips, and more:

07.10.09 – Hoboken, NJ – Maxwell’s
07.11.09 – San Francisco, CA – Bottom of the Hill #
07.12.09 – Los Angeles, CA – The Echoplex &
07.24.09 – Brooklyn, NY – Todd P Event – TBA %
07.25.09 – Medford, MA – Outside the Lines Studio %
07.26.09 – New Haven, CT – BAR
08.07.09 – Kutna Hora, CZ-  Art Festival
08.08.09 – Berlin, GER – Berlin Festival
08.09.09 – Scheer, GER – Klangbad Festival
08.14.09 – Amsterdam, NL – Paradiso
