Doom & Gloom From The Tomb: A Blog

Hey, amazing work on the blog. I'm a big fan.

I was wondering if you'd be able to re-up some stuff when you get chance? All the Television links are down :(

yeah at some point I'll reup some stuff -- is there a better service than sendspace where files last longer? that's the only one i've used.

Drop.io keeps files up for one year after their last download. No ads, either.

hmm i'll check that out ... it's free?

yeah

cool -- well, if anyone's reading, feel free to make re-up requests here or in the comments ... Dunno when I'll get around to it, but I'll take note!

Chrome Dreams too please!

oh man, Chrome Dreams is incredible!

Might have missed it -- will the comprehensive Feelies covers thing be posted on the blog?

It will -- still in the process of putting it together. Should be a doozy.

Too kind and thanks!

speaking of that Feelies covers comp ... I'm only missing one song! "King's Lead Hat," an Eno cover they did a couple times back in the early 80s. Anyone got it? I'll ask on the Feelies threads too. Looks like the covers comp will be two volumes, with some Yung Wu stuff thrown in as well.

That'll be hard to track down (well it's already proven it is..).

In this pretty exhaustive Feelies bootleg database (I'm sure you know the site), I find only two mentions of it being performed/recorded:

1) Gig on March 1, 1983: Peanut Gallery, Haledon, NJ (44 min.)
2) King's Lead Hat (Brian Eno) from May 29 1983, unknown venue

yeah that site is where I've drawn from mainly. Maybe I'll just email the dude who runs it ...

Send this guy an e-mail, who knows...

Cool, yeah, I'll shoot him an email. This is IMPORTANT!!!

there was some guy on DIME who uploaded approximately 200 Feelies shows as well...

as far as upload services I use and endorse Mediafire.

tyler, at the risk of going overbored thanking you for your blog work- that last neil post - bad news in the 90's is COMPLETELY sublime, dude. thanks.

thanks, man, glad you like it. there is a lot of really great stuff on that comp -- "Interstate," "Separate Ways," "Ambulance Blues" w/ REM ... So good.

amazingly, i've just been sent an mp3 of the feelies playing "King's Lead Hat" -- by Stanley Demeski's wife! The internet is crazy. So the Feelies covers comp should be finished soon!

that's fantastic!

:-D Wow that's nuts. Can't wait!

Thanks, dudes. Everything I do, I do it for you.

hey could i get the feelies version of that^^^? no?

You will, sir, you will.

you haven't lived til you've heard the Feelies doing "Cuts Like A Knife"

WHOS THE GERM OF THE INTERNETS, NOW?????

okaaaay, finally finished the long-awaited Feelies cover comp! enjoy! http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

Haha I was going to be looking for this today myself. Wonderful stuff.

Thanks! There are a handful of not-so-hot recordings included for historical purposes, but on the whole it's very listenable ...

sweet getting now, thank u sir.

Putting this together made me realize that the Feelies really were one of the more intense live bands of the 80s! I've heard bootlegs of the Replacements, Black Flag, Husker Du, Sonic Youth, etc., and none of them match the more hardcore stuff here. And that's when they're covering Beatles songs!

(tyler does your ILX webmail work? i have something u might be interested in)

yeah it works!

sent u an ilx mail lemme know if it works

oh heyo, one track added that I forgot "Powderfinger" by Yung Wu. U can dl at same mediafire link ...

dude thanks for all this. and sylvie is adorable!

no prob, glad you're liking it. and the sylvie-related action has been moved to another blog: http://voicisylvie.blogspot.com she didn't like being mixed in there with all the bootlegs.

oh by the way, did the feelies comp come out with the right song order when y'all imported it into your itunes? someone told me it came out random, but it worked for me ...

Came out random for me as well -- not really minding but anyway.

huh! thought I had tagged the mp3s w/ a tracklisting, but maybe I don't know what I'm doing. ah well -- it doesn't matter too much, I suppose ...

doesn't matter at all. thanks again!

More of those R. Crumb radio shows posted now! Totally fun stuff.

yeah it doesn't matter, i love it anyway
