Doom & Gloom From The Tomb: A Blog

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

this blog roolz

also lol at yr girl in a hueg onesie

now up! Flaming Lips - Zaireeka, the single disc mixdown version. No substitute for the real thing, but you can listen to this one on headphones, which is nice.

new Television post! A 1992 show featuring vastly improved versions of the songs from that reunion LP they put out. Seriously great.

more Richard Lloyd guitar madness up now, with an insanely good WFMU session by Rocket from the Tombs .... http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

Just kicked off Jazz Week w/ a Coltrane/Dolphy show from 1961 ... Alice Coltrane up next!

Man, sendspace sucks lately. I've been trying to download that Television set for about a week now and keep getting told that the "Free service is over capacity". Hopefully I'll be able to get at these soon enough.

tylerw, which Alice?

Sorry about the sendspace woes, Jon -- I had planned on switching over to Mediafire but was having uploading issues ... Maybe I'll try again.
The Alice show is 1972 Carnegie Hall, w/ Pharoah Sanders and Archie Shepp ...

!!!

I finally got it to work, I think you just have to keep at it. Not bitching, I love the blog - keep it up! I'd just been very anxious all week to hear that set.

OK, the Alice Coltrane is up! Jon, you're going to like that Television set -- it is pretty different from Television in the 70s, but still very very very good.

Woah, thanks!

Unreleased Mingus broadcasts from 1962 up now ...

heyo, more jazz week -- wynton kelly trio w/ wes montgomery up now ...

Miles Davis Quintet, Berlin 1967 up now! So good.

listening to the coltrane in copenhagen with dolphy, lovely stuff, pretty good sound quality too!

how long are the download links good for?

yeah, i love that Coltrane show -- not as off-the-hook as, say, the Village Vanguard recordings, but really nice.
Download links seem to be around for about 2-3 months? Not sure how Sendspace works. Thinking about switching up, but haven't gotten around to it.

yeah so far it seems more breezy and laid back almost trad than the village vanguard stuff, i'm not that far in

Sendspace used to delete files 30 days after no downloads. So theoretically, stuff could last forever if downloaded periodically.

xpost You can't help but wonder what the audiences who went to see these shows were expecting -- I'm not sure what records were out in Denmark. Were they expecting "Blue Train"? I know Coltrane was booed by some crowds on his last Euro tour with Miles Davis ...

good to know about Sendspace ... maybe I can just dl stuff myself from time to time to keep the links active ...

yea i tried to hit up one of the old neil young stuff and it said the file was no longer available. listening to the REAL COOL TIME stuff now. is nice

yeah feel free to request any re-ups. might not happen immediately, but I'll get around to it. Might just do a big week of re-ups.

Can you re-up the Wilco show soon? I thought i'd downloaded it but can't find it now.

sure thing! just don't tell all the wilco-haterz on ilm ;)

Boo! More Neil, less Wilco!

haha. up next: WILCO WEEK

crossing my fingers for some super charged nels cline going off live show shit.

i should actually put up a great Nels Cline trio show I have from the 90s ...

not to make this "request line" or anything but do you have any geraldine fibbers 90s gigs with nels in the lineup?

oh feel free to make it a request line. I don't have any Fibbers bootlegs. Weirdly, I never saw the Nels Cline version of that band, even though I lived in LA at the time and they were always playing. They might not've played all ages shows all that much. I did see the original Fibbers lineup a couple of times, and then saw the Cline/Bozulich duo thing a few times as well. Cool band, though I just checked and I don't seem to have their albums anymore ...

Just finished up Jazz Week with a Herbie Hancock/Headhunters show from 1973 ...
