M. Ward – December 1, 2010

M. Ward opening for a Yo La Tengo Hanukkah show at Maxwell’s in Hoboken I recall once back in 2008 or so, Chris asked if there was anyone I would like him to record so I could have raw sources and do a mix — I listed a few possibilities, even focused…

Yo La Tengo – December 22, 2008

Hanukkah Night 2, Live at Maxwell’s, Hoboken, NJ Yes, that’s a pic of Ira’s mother, who would come by to end one night with a rendition of “My Little Corner of the World”. These shows are special, for many many reasons. And that’s just one. A good one, too. Check…

Yo La Tengo – December 21, 2008

  Hanukkah 2008, live at Maxwell’s, Hoboken, NJ So it’s time to get into a full set of Hanukkah shows. I’ll even try to get the opening acts up here (the ones that I have). But of course we’ll start our focus on the band that makes it all happen. Here’s…

Thee Oh Sees – October 8, 2012

Live in Portland (sources courtesy of Chris F. and Thee Oh Sees) I remember having done this mix, but I don’t recall ever listening to it since. Then about a month ago I saw they had some new music out, and I checked out the new album — and I…

Slam Dunk – December 29, 2013

Live at the Mission Theater, Portland, OR Night one of the three night stand, leading up to New Years Eve, 2013. This is my initiation into the band, and it’s a fun little ride with good energy — though I’d like to see if the songwriting can evolve a little bit.…

Built To Spill – December 30, 2013

Live At Mission Theater, Portland, OR From the 3 night stint to end the year 2013, with the Apostrophe’s and Slam Dunk. Eventually, the entire run will be here to hear, all bands-all nights. Until then, here’s the rubber match for Doug et al. Note: I have yet to once bring…

Sebadoh – June 8, 1995

Live in London Single-cam, wide shot mostly. But it’s not really about the visuals (unless you gaze behind them, then indeed it’s all about the visuals!). The soundboard feed mixed up with the cam audio helps create a real sweet recording at a seminal time for the ‘doh. Killer shit.…

Pavement – March 4, 1994

Live at Luxor in Cologne, Germany. (all AV sources courtesy Rainer/Pavement) One of my favorites from one of my favorites from one of my favorites. (For the record [pun intended] that’s, in order: show, band, source provider. Anyways, I’m just having dumb fun with words, which is the antithesis to…

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks – March 15, 2014

Live at the Star Theater, the band rocks hometown Portland, March 2014. And now once again, I’m having some fun with this, as there is two slightly different mixes to choose from. The original is no slouch; it got loving attention. But the “point 2” got some TLC, which depending…

Folk Implosion – April 11, 1997

The duo that was the initial Folk Implosion do a low-key set in Cologne, Germany. (sources provided by Rainer, you rock and rule dude.) It’s interesting being a hardcore fan of Lou Barlow, and trying to keep up with the many bands and side-projects that he’s been involved with and/or invented. Sentridoh became…
