Still on an electronic kick.

Heligoland

Splitting the Atom

Just in time for Heligoland to drop tomorrow.

• Just for the record … this Bleu is not the /Redhead/, /Watched Pot/, or whatever Bleu. This is some modern jazz trio. Not bad, but … #
• I gave the Jazz thing 2 stars. Heh. For those seeking the Bleu I thought this was, try https://www.noisetrade.com/bleu . Love the dude. #
• Now leave me alone, @michaelterry and @joshstockment #
• The Wilco DC bootleg from the other day: four stars, yo. #
• The old Wilco boot gets three stars, and thanks to iTunes for refunding my money on the "Bleu". #

1999-10-28: Headliners, Madison, WI, USA

So Michael and Josh have asked for a list of my top 5-10 bootlegs in my collection via Twitter. Phew.

Click cover art where extant for the download links. If I don’t have a download link, well, I’ll go and see if I can find the CD and dig that up.

• 2003-09-04: McDonald Theatre, Eugene, OR, USA.
• 2006-10-09: Von Braun Center Concert Hall, Huntsville, AL, USA. This one, etree says it has, but it doesn’t, really. And it’s so good, so I need to find the CD and load it to Owl & Bear or something.
• 2007-06-26: Warsaw, New York, NY, USA.
• 2008-07-04: Roskilde Festival, Roskilde, Denmark. I’ve raved about this one before, but it’s great. And no, I don’t have a torrent source for it now, but I’ll try to find one…
• Andy Osenga: 2009-03-23: The Rutledge, Nashville, TN, USA. I believe you boys have this. I don’t have any record of it here on GFMorris.com. My bad.
• 31 Aug 2007 Over the Rhine show. 2007-08-31: Moonlite Gardens, Coney Island, Cincinnati, OH, USA
• 1998-06-02: Studion, Stockholm, Sweden
• 28 Sep 2000 Elliott Smith. 2000-09-28: L'Olympic, Nantes, France.
• . 1994-04-29: The Blue Note, Columbia, MO, USA. One of the last UT shows ever, and it fucking blows the doors off. This bootleg is almost old enough to drive, man.
• M. Ward on KEXP in Seattle. 2005-03-14: KEXP, Seattle, WA, USA. Short but sweet.
• . 2004-09-18: Butternut Ridge, North Olmsted, OH, USA.

2008-02-27: 9:30 Club, Washington, DC, USA

• If you like The Decemberists playing their extended song cycles, you'll like that bootleg. I do, and it gets 3.5 stars. #
• For the record, Greg Laswell's /Three Flights from Alto Nido/ is great proposal-writing music. Mad that my iPhone doesn't have the new PG. #
• Songs like "House of Gold" are why I bought the Patty Griffin gospel record. I have the feeling I'm really going to like it from 1st 2 trks #
• For the record, I give the Patty Griffin four full stars. Mr. @tonykevinjr gets three. Good start to your career, sir. #

I Should Love You, But I Hate You

Tony sent this to me, so I figured I’d be nice and listen to it. [And yes, Chris Lehman, I got your email, too, and I'll listen to it, but I'm better acquainted with TK.]

2007-10-28: The Vic Theatre, Chicago, IL, USA

• The Gnarls Barkley I added today? It is FULL OF WIN. #
• Shhhh, but … http://gfmorris.net/audio/ has that Gnarls Barkley show. For a limited time! #
• I'm torn between giving this MMJ bootleg three and four stars. Want to listen to it at home on better speakers. #
• #gnm #
• Clearly, I don't have Twitter tools completely nailed down just yet. Just added Spoon's /Transference/. #
• And I've decided on the MMJ bootleg: first disc got three stars, second got four. One of those concerts where it got better as it went. #
• Listening to the new Spoon now … it runs the risk of being same-sounding, but I am digging it. Four stars on my initial listen. #
• Okay, I'm appeasing @michaelaterry with my next selection. But man, "Got Nuffin" is a killer track. Good on you, Spoon. #
• Okay, @thecivilwars's /Poison & Wine EP/ was a quality purchase. $4 on @amazonmp3. Good call @michaelaterry. Four stars. #
• This @thecivilwars live EP is enjoyable. Get it at http://noisetrade.com/thecivilwars/ for FREE. Four stars. #
• Ugh, this Wilco bootleg is muddy and indistinct. But hey, it was free. Meh. NEXT! #
• The B.B. King duets compilation is pleasant and enjoyable, but nothing spectacular. Three stars. #
