Geof’s New Music: 28 Sep - 4 Oct 2008
Well, uh, you see … it’s been kinda crazy for me the last couple weeks, so I just … didn’t get to the music. But now I have …
George Strait’s Strait From the Heart.
Nirvana’s From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah.- 5 Sep 1993 [Copenhagen, Denmark] concert bootleg of Uncle Tupelo.
1993-09-05: Cafe Rust, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Wilco’s Summerteeth Demos.
Summerteeth Demos.- 17 Dec 2005 [Cincinnati, OH, USA] concert bootleg of Over the Rhine.
2005-12-17: The Taft Theatre, Cincinnati, OH, USA (disc 1) and

17 Mar 2006 [Nashville, TN, USA] concert bootleg of Wilco.
2006-03-17: Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN, USA (disc 1) and

25 Aug 2008 [Hollywood, CA, USA] concert bootleg of Radiohead.
2008-08-25: Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, CA, USA (disc 1) and
2008-08-25: Hollywood Bowl, Hollywood, CA, USA (disc 2).
The last week of music was above average:
The Velvet Underground’s VU. Poppy and melodic, but still definitely a VU record. Three stars.
George Strait’s Strait Country. It’s classic early 1980s country music—you either like it or you don’t. I do, but that’s because I love George Strait’s voice. Two-and-a-half stars.- 6 Dec 2002 [Long Beach, CA, USA] concert bootleg of Iron & Wine. I think Sam Beam’s career arc is similar to Elliott Smith’s, and that’s high praise from me. This is an early bootleg, and it reminds me a lot of old Elliott boots. Three stars.
- 1 Sep 2007 [Lexington, KY, USA] concert bootleg of Over the Rhine. I had heard very good things about this show, and it does not disappoint. Four stars.
9 Oct 2007 [Milwaukee, WI, USA] concert bootleg of Wilco. A quite-solid recording, as you’d expect from Jerry Eaglebarger. Four stars.- 19 Dec 2007 [Nashville, TN, USA] concert bootleg of Ben Folds. The mics aren’t up to the room [and I've recorded in there, so I know], but it sounds like it’s probably a stealth rig. Two stars.
24 Aug 2008 [Hollywood, CA, USA] concert bootleg of Radiohead. Solid, but unspectacular. I’ve never really heard a great recording from the Hollywood Bowl, probably because it’s a damn hard place to record without some SBD access. Three stars.
