Doom & Gloom From The Tomb: A Blog

more lost albums! The Go-Betweens' Freakchild -- or my approximation, thereof ...

neil's chrome dreams (a different version than posted a few months back) up now. Worth a look just for the artwork which has to be one of the great bootleg covers of all time.

OK, the Tom Verlaine lost album Jon hooked me up with is up now - totally good! Maybe better than Flashlight? Maybe?

Hey, Tyler, you have a handy tracklisting for that Waits show?

here ya go --
Introduction / Diamonds On My Windshield / On A Foggy Night / Eggs And Sausage / Ice Cream Man / San Diego Serenade / Big Joe And Phantom 309 / New Coat Of Paint / Spare-Parts / Ol' 55 / The Ghost of Saturday Night / The Heart of Saturday Night / Nobody

Thanks, mister!

rolling stones kinda lost album Necrophilia up now ... actually a really good listen!

yeah, it's great. showcases their psuedo-brill building/pop side in a way that they were probably trying to downplay in the early 70s.

yeah, it is not very low-down, badass stuff. But still good! Love "Sleepy City" and "Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind" which Vashti Bunyan recorded when she was a Marianne Faithfull wannabe.

Richard & Linda Thompson's original Shoot Out The Lights up now ...

Dylan's original Infidels up now

Oh, remember the days when it used to be so much work to track down stuff this awesome? Sniff. Makes me wistful.

ah yes, the days when a two-disc bootleg would cost somewhere around $60 ...
one last lost album up now -- Brian Wilson's Adult Child! Scary!

finishing out 2009 with the year's four greatest psych jamz! http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

pre-VU recordings by Lou Reed/John Cale up now. Do the Ostrich!

man tyler you are spoiling us!

more spoils! pavement live in 1997 ...

a guest contribution -- the audio from a whole bunch of Elvis Costello TV performances through the years ... http://ow.ly/X0ky

Eno - Fripp LIVE in Paris up now!

Talking Heads 1979 Fear of Music tour up now!

shit, i see i have some catching up to do

hey willem, you're partly responsible for this eno kick I'm on currently ....

just chiming in w/a big T H A N K Y O U ! great blog.

yr welcome!

which eno kick? did you upload anything enoesque. i am reading geeta dayal's book on another green world right now, i didn't know about the anecdote about the origin of the title. it is kind of intriguing especially in view of the current state of planet earth.

i didn't read the thread properly, sorry. i don't think i have ever consciously listened to that paris concert.

it's good!

something a little different: some friends and I have started putting together a handful of "best of the 2000s" single artist mixes. Up so far: Dylan, Robyn Hitchcock, Elvis Costello, Yo La Tengo, David Byrne, Go-Betweens. Several more in the works! http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

hey tyler

your dylan post of the alt infidels inspired me to go out and pick that album up on used vinyl...

it's pretty good but DAAAAAMN...this version is clearly better in every respect...obv he left off what might be the two best songs on the album (though jokerman and i and i are amazing).... but yeah this one feels so much better sequenced.

glad you dig it, matt -- yeah, i really prefer it to the released version. but it is a great "only Dylan would do that" moment -- leaving off "Blind Willie McTell"! but i love infidels. such a weird sound, dire straits meets sly & robbie ... he should make another record with those guys.

yeah it's got a cool sound...and it's weird because it sounds EXACTLY like what you'd expect a reggae rhythm section would sound like with a real button-downed FM rock band around them...the bass line on jokerman is awesome

yeah, if you hear the 1984 tour recordings, the songs really suffer for not having that sly/robbie lope ... he just hired a pretty boring rhythm section for that tour ... if only he'd played with that band from the Letterman appearance!

Friend of mine put together an audio mix of Jonathan Richman/Modern Lovers tv appearances! Very very good! http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/

been trying to keep up with everything i want from your blog, but just now listening to the alt. Infidels trax. "Sweetheart Like you" is such a frickin' beautiful song, i'm about to weep openly...

yeah, i love that song ... i kinda think of it as Dylan doing Knopfler and blowing him away.
more jonathan richman up now -- very early modern lovers demo/live recordings ...

i actually don't like blind willie mctell (the song) very much. strikes me as bombastic. doesn't have the virtues i most treasure in dylan. sort of his version of "elephant art"--a big, self-consciously important statement without irony or playfulness. i prefer his modest stuff like nashville skyline, new morning....

that j. richman comp is great, thanks tyler. you have a fantastic blog.

though blind willie is probably better than anything on infidels. but even if the alternative album is better than the released one, this strikes me as one of dylan's lowest periods.

hey when it comes to Dylan, I've learned to each his/her own ...

hey when it comes to Dylan, I've learned to each his/her own ...

i think Abraham Lincoln said that

iirc Lincoln was a big Street Legal fan ...

since it's been so long ... more Feelies! A live version of Crazy Rhythms w/ the original band pieced together from various 1979-80 shows ....

tyler, is it cool if I ask you to re-up (or just to send me privately) these Feelies boots you're posting? I don't have the time + disk space right now for them, but I will in 9 months or so.

yeah, just let me know when you want 'em! is that what you meant?

Yeah, that's all I mean. O/w I'd hoard them now but time+space are at a premium for the time being.

there is nothing more important for your hard drive space than hissy audience tapes of the feelies imo

haha well I already have a few from your blog from before! the Eno demos set and a live set from 79. I don't really know the band after the first album but I'll remedy that soon. And then it'll be boot time.

and good grief my brother tried to give me like 30 gigs of Dead bootlegs recently. I'll never have the time...

Thanks for more Feelies! I probably have several of the performances, but a good comp is always nice.

Yeah, several of the songs are from that 1979 show I posted a few months back -- the others are from 1980 shows at CBGB and the Whiskey A Go Go in LA ...

backing up a bit - thanks for the pre-vu thing! some pimple-faced dreck for sure, but also some gold... "why don't you smile now" is especially great. I've known the Delmonas cover for years, never knew it was a Reed song.
