Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 11:23:20 -0500 (EST) I'd really like to get a copy of this if anyone can tape it from WXRT; this guy is really good, and there are very few live recordings of him around. Or if anyone has any other good recordings by him, I would probably be interested in them as well. Sunday, February 23 -- 8:00-9:00pm David Baerwald Recorded "live" last June at the Abbey Pub Rob Why don't you come up and surf me sometime? --> http://www.patriot.net/users/rob ------------------------------ From: Dan Gale Subject: E-Bay Bootlegger Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 09:13:24 -0800 Does anybody know this guy? He's been selling Los Lobos, Cure, and Counting Crows shows on E-Bay for the past few weeks at a steady pace. I'm working through official channels to (hopefully) deal with him but at least the LL stuff he's selling are shows that I recorded and were made readily available through the usual trading channels, so I thought I'd throw his name out and see if it rings a bell. If you know this guy or or traded with him before, please be aware of what he's up to and cut him off.

Steeley Dan were the guest and they played 8 songs and had conversations with the hostess. Did anyone record this? Any chance you'd hook me up? http://www.npr.org/programs/pianojazz/#songlist Thanks in advance for being so kind! :o) BWT: Seattle Loft Party 2-1-03 CD or SHN to first 2 takers Source: cmc4/mk4>oade>mini-me>DA-P1 Davee C - Drums (Phat Sidy Smokehouse, Clinton Fearon's Boogie Brown Band) Scott Law - Guitar (Hanuman Collective, Melvin Seals' Melting Pot) Arne Livingston (Living Daylights, SKB) - Bass Dude (?) - Keys Tim Young (Zony Mash) -Guitar Ty (Jive Turkey) - Vocals / Keys Plus rotating case of musicians including: Robert Walter - Keys (RWTC, Seminal West Coast Boogaloo crew, Greyboy All-Stars) Cocheme Gastelum - Sax (RWTC) Leif Totusek - guitar (Freestyle Candela) Leif Dalan - Keys (Edidadio) Lenex - Bass (RAI) Jonah - Keys Otha Major - Beat Box ------------------------------ From: "Eric Shewack" Subject: C.W. Mitchell Pavillion (Texas) Security? Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 13:10:28 -0500 Hello, I'm traveling down to Texas from Pennsylvania for the April 6 Sleater-Kinney/Pearl Jam show. I plan on only taping S-K, considering Pearl Jam releases their shows on CD anyway, plus I'm not really into PJ, my friend is the PJ fan. I was just wondering, has anybody been to a show at this place lately to tell me what I can expect as far as security? I know larger venues here in the Northeast have been using metal detecting wands as of late! I plan on trying to get my TCD-8 in, I don't think PJ staff would mind at all considering they release soundboards of their shows! And from what I hear S-K is cool with audience taping but I don't have this documented anywhere. Bottom line is I don't want to get kicked out after traveling nearly 2000 miles for a show, but I also want to bring a nice memento back as well. Please advise... Thanks, Eric ------------------------------ From: Eugene Hu Subject: Re: cassette maters question Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 10:35:27 -0800 > I have a few cassette masters, that have been collecting dust, and I was > about to have them transfered to DAT.

I know the USB Edirol will be slower than the RME (which uses the PCI computer interface) but I like its portability and options to record directly to my computer through the XLR inputs. However, my primary function is to transfer DATS to my computer. As far as that goes, will both of these units provide seemless digital transfers to my computer without any loss? If they do, can anyone see any reason why I would not want to go with the Edirol UA-5 over the RME 96/8? Thanks Aaron D ------------------------------ From: JBABC0CK@aol.com Subject: Re: cassette masters question Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 16:11:17 -0500 Colin-- One of the things you might try is to apply one small drop of WD40 all-purpose oil on the center of the spool. I have saved a few cassettes like this. Another trick-- and you should practice with some duds first-- is to unscrew the cassette case and transfer the actual tiny cassette tape reels to a new cassette case. That's much trickier, but has proven successful in the past. The WD40 trick has never ruined a tape for me yet, but it's only 1 small drop you need (you want the grease to stay on the plastic mechanism and not get onto the actual tape), then spin the wheels with a pencil eraser a few times to see how it feels before FF & RW and eventually play. I wonder, though, how much damage can you do to the actual tape with some oil like that? I'm sure it's murder on the machine's heads. Good Luck! jb <<------------------------------ From: Colin Liston Subject: cassette masters question Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2003 11:02:12 -0500 (EST) I have a few cassette masters, that have been collecting dust, and I was about to have them transfered to DAT.  The cassettes fast forward and rewind fine, but when I try to play them the get stuck, and bind in the deck.  I"ve tried 2 cassette decks, and  i still can't make them play. Does anyone have any ideas about how to get the cassettes to play? thanks colin ============================== >> ------------------------------ From: Bill Shaw Subject: phish Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 15:01:05 -0800 anybody run up front at LA or Vegas? I had my KM140's in the sweet spot for Sunday Vegas show, and it turned out great. Only one problem at the very start of Bowie I accidentally hit pause and ended up missing a minute or so of the intro (started recording again before the first verse started). If anybody did Saturday (or Friday LA) I'd like to hear it, am willing to trade my Sunday. Would also like to get a copy of the first few minutes of Bowie from Sunday so I can splice it together with my own recording. Sorry not open for general trades right now, just looking for other tapers from LA and/or Vegas.

It's not just the old ones, but tapes recorded just before it broke down. My deck is quite old and has had many problems going back to when it was only a few months old. The motor is weak and it whirs and changes speeds during ff/rw. Could the diginoise be the deck or is it the tapes themselves? The deck wasn't in use for 2 years before I recently got it fixed and it played tapes fine before it broke down. The diginoise isn't always at the exact same place, but tends to happen around the same general area, usually at or near the beginning. Is there a chance these tapes will play in another deck? I only have the one, but I'm considering getting either a DA-20MKII or R300 if I knew it would play the tapes. Thanks for any help.
