I wonder if anyone out there has interest in the RSD press of Bleed American? 3xLP, gold, silver, bronze. If so, message me.

 

It will always be Bleed American to me.

 

Me too

 

Saw these guys last night in Portland. Still so, so good.

 

Jim is featured on the latest Pete Holmes podcast.

 

Seeing them live in Indianapolis was pretty terrific. They put on a great show and their set-lists are a great mold of their best, in my opinion, although I wish they could play Disintegration or Just Watch the Fireworks.

 

hahahaha, i ALWAYS hear this

 

It was one of the chillest crowds I had seen at a show

 

Wowza, watching the Tempe sessions version of "Carry you" has given me a whole new appreciation for that song.

 

Holy shit JEW is coming back through Chattanooga next year.

@Gjpeace @Chris Yates

Tickets go on sale the 15th. Seeing them for the Futures Anniversary Tour might be the best show I've ever been to.

 

Oh, I saw. Promptly freaked out. I will be there, my friend.

 

It just hit me the other day

Is 12.23.95 an interlude song?

 

yessss, fantastic performance of that song.

 

I've just remastered the debut 1994 S/T album and as well the Futures Trombino Sessions. I was getting tired of how quiet they were. Also I cleaned the glitches on Closer / Lying Dressed quite thoroughly. I have previously shared a cleaned-up version of the song on here with some people, but this new version is definitely the cleanest version that's been made to date (it does still stutter in the intro but it's much more tolerable now I think). Links are below, if it's of interest to anyone.

They are 256 AAC because there isn't enough time in the day to upload WAVs. They are from fairly low quality sources anyway so it's no biggy.

I just listened to the demo version of A Praise Chorus for the first time. I've heard the final version a million times, but hearing the demo was a fascinating experience. Especially the bridge without the references to other songs.

 

Thanks! This will be my first listen of the S/T... lets see how bad it really is. haha

 

Yes, thank you sir. This will be my first listen of both!

 

its a really fun album actually.

 

Won't be able to download this until later. Please leave it up until the end of the day.

 

I have no intention of taking it down any time soon.

 

Thats cool and all, but is that legal?

 

S/T hasnt been legally available for 22 years and the Trombino sessions never. They're never going to be available for sale so I don't feel too bad about it. These are already widely out there on the internet anyway and I'm not trying to make any money out of it.

 

Okay well they may not have been readily available for years, if ever, but that doesn't exactly give you the right to put your fingerprints on them.

I get why someone would want to make them sound better and whatnot, but it just seems strange to me.

 

They're already out there to download on other sites and have been for >10 years. If the band don't like that they're out there then they'd have done something about it before now I'd have thought. And I think you're overestimating what I've done. In its most basic form, mastering is making songs louder without distorting them, which is for the most part what I did. I didn't change how they sound, other than cleaning up glitches in one track. I figured if people are already listening to them (and they are) or were planning to (which they could easily do with or without my intervention) then they may as well get an easier and more consistent experience. I see no harm but if the band want me to take them down I will.

 

@Kevin360 does your Blue variant of Chase This Light have a lyric sheet in it?
