Geof’s New Music: 28 Jan-3 Feb 2007

Back in the saddle!

• M. Ward’s Duet for Guitars #2 finishes out my month of M. Ward.
  
• Derek Webb’s One Zero [acoustic] compilation. I’ve had the rough mixes since October, but man … the final product sounds sweet.
  
• 10 Oct 2006 [Nashville, TN, USA] concert bootleg of various members of the Square Peg Alliance. Specifically, Matthew Perryman Jones, Andy Gullahorn, Katy Bowser, and Eric Peters. I’m working off a backlog of bootlegs.
  
• 6 Jan 2007 [Nashville, TN, USA] concert bootleg of Andrew Osenga. Sometime after this show, Andrew asked, “So, when are you just going to move up here?” Good question, Andy. Good question.
  
• 25 Jan 2007 [Nashville, TN, USA] concert bootleg of Derek Webb. I like being able to churn stuff out in about 48 hours. Feels good.
  
• 8 May 1995 [Hampton Beach, NH, USA] concert bootleg of Blues Traveler. Here’s the DIME URL to grab this show (registration required).
  
• 19 Apr 1999 [London, England] concert bootleg of Fountains of Wayne. Here’s the DIME URL to grab this show (registration required).
  
• 31 Dec 2006 [Sayreville, NJ, USA] concert bootleg of Robert Rudolph & The Family Band.
  

The last two weeks, I’ve savored some M. Ward:

• M. Ward’s End of Amnesia is a good record, but I never really got into it as I have Matt’s other stuff. There’s a number of reasons that this could be true, but I think the biggest one is that I didn’t make myself sit down and listen to it straight through with the lyrics in front of me. I’ll need to do that in the future. I give it three stars.
  
• 5 Jan 2007 [Sydney, Australia] concert bootleg of M. Ward. It’s a good-but-not-great recording; I expect that most of that has to do with the equipment. [I'm not complaining; I have good-but-not-great equipment, too.] I give this three stars.
