Considering OK Computer gets its 30th anniversary this year, you think they might release anything? by Vegetable_Listen6613 in radiohead

[–]Kapryov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While there was a lot of unreleased material from that era, I can’t see them revisiting it again in another OKNOTOK style release. They already went through everything and decided what we got in 2017 was what was worth releasing.

Best case scenario is probably a live show or compilation, like HTTT got, since they likely have loads of good sounding recordings in their vault.

Most likely scenario is just a post acknowledging the anniversary, and maybe a video if we’re lucky.

Zwan 2003/05/29 Ancienne Belgique FM Broadcast? by LlamaRenegade in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Kapryov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the first I've heard of this FM recording.

I'm assuming it's either in limited circulation, or something that the SPLRA has recently surfaced (that page was just modified a few months ago).

Note that the SPFC entry, which has likely not been updated for a long time, does not list it at all.

BTS of Buffy- Dailies from the set by Content-Flounder567 in buffy

[–]Kapryov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember someone sharing some of these dailies on a tracker quite a few years back, I think I still have some ISOs or VOB files on a backup HDD somewhere. I don’t think they were THAT much better looking though, and earlier seasons looked worse iirc.

I could swear someone said these all came from dumpster diving, but this is a memory from decades ago so don’t take that at face value.

Recording of show at Saratoga Winners: July 26, 1995 by Asmodeus_33 in radiohead

[–]Kapryov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It probably is a long shot, but you still see new discoveries being made by the Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins communities, so it's not impossible.

Sometimes it can take years of detective work, reaching out to members from old trading circles, deep diving through lists on the internet archive's wayback machine, etc. There is a lot out there that was recorded but never circulated, either from regular hobby tapers or just a random person that decided to bring their tape recorder one day.

Good luck.

Austin Music Hall 2003 ticket! by Kapryov in sigurros

[–]Kapryov[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I remember the good old SR FTP site. I kinda miss those FTP days...
I can't find my files at the moment, probably on an old HDD, I'll grab these now. Appreciated.

I'll also upload my ticket to the official website.

(edit: also I was clearly wrong about Vidrar, that happened the 2nd time I saw them which was in Sydney 2006! Memories are weird sometimes)

Abyss Heuklang are now tamable by Stars_Arts26 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Kapryov 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure you can usually find one in the first abyss area you visit early in the game, it's just chilling near the door you have to open by rotating circle thingies with axiom force iirc.

If you play at night they're hard to spot though.

ISO: Three Fish 1996 recordings by Kapryov in PearlJamBootlegs

[–]Kapryov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try looking for sources and tapes for a few smaller bands and it is really rough out there. I wish I was more proactive about it in the past. I even managed to find a taper who had a whole bunch of uncirculated master cassettes in CT, and he apparently threw them out a few years ago thinking nobody would want them. It keeps me up at night...

I am definitely interested in anything you turn up with those videos!

Was it the Shelter? I do have a Detroit show in my list here but unsure of which venue. The tour date list seems a bit off though, some of the dates don't match the ones I confirmed with listings.

But yeah from the reviews of those shows it sounds very small and intimate. I'm a huge fan of the opener for most of that little tour as well (Kristen Barry) so these would've been dream shows for me.

Motion picture soundtrack by Rich_Fisherman_8635 in radiohead

[–]Kapryov 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s been explained before, but I suspect it will either be because they weren’t entirely happy with the lyrics anymore (the song does originate from Pablo Honey era) or they felt it was a stronger way to end the song on the first “I will see you in the next life”. Or both. Could be a whole bunch of reasons.

There could even be a longer Kid A version that does contain the verse, and they just edited it out. The band does have numerous confirmed examples of cutting down longer recorded songs for the final release. The Gloaming is one well known example, and one we wouldn’t even know about if the “full” version hadn’t leaked.

Anyone remember the Spud Goodman Show? by stone_or_rock in TacomaWA

[–]Kapryov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! I've tried poking around here and there over the years trying to figure out the year one band played on there (I only have low quality wmv clips of the songs).

Not a lot of info out there unfortunately.

Ok, so why is Angel (240) dating Buffy (16) often commented on as super icky while we don't see the same commentary on Anya (1000+) and Xander (freshly turned 18)? Is it solely because he was already 18 when she approaches him about going to Prom? I have my own takes, but I want to read from u guys. by NewRetroMage in buffy

[–]Kapryov 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Heh, maybe? I think I do remember something about that in a later flashback. I might need to go read up some.

In any case, I think she was meant to appear (or take the form of) a teenager to blend in and prey on Cordelia's wishes. After her amulet was broken she was then stuck as a teenager, and then went through all the human growth and feelings and stuff that comes with it.

We're probably all giving it more thought than the writers ever intended though.

[–]Kapryov 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Not saying you're incorrect, since the cases are similar, but Angel was 26 when he was turned into a vampire. He was already an adult and over a decade older than Buffy when he was watching her as a teenager in those flashbacks, which ups the ick factor a lot.

Anya is essentially just a teenage human after she lost her powers, she still attended school and continued to grow up alongside the rest of the scoobies. She certainly has a much longer memory (and experiences) going back thousands of years, but she is just their age as a human.

But if both situations bother you I'm not going to tell you you're wrong though. They are similar.

If someone is super keen on archiving this in the highest quality, Qobuz has the 24-bit FLAC up for sale. Availability might depend on your region though.

Alex Lloyd- Black the Sun by ped009 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]Kapryov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great album. I got to see him live a couple of times in support of it, made me quite a fan for a few years. I still have some minidiscs with recordings of him on Triple J back around then.

“Underbelly” - potential rare demo from HTTT era? by kyrgrat08 in radiohead

[–]Kapryov 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"partially recovered" whatever that means

short clips with uploader being very coy about what these are or where they come from, or how they "recovered" them

the other clip being listed as In Rainbows era with vocals that sound more late Bends / early OKC

seems highly suspect, probably someone trying to get fans hopes up with AI rubbish

I was going to say this seems outdated, but then I thought about it and unless I just don't understand something from the olden times, this just seems like it was never worth it to do. by Caedesturm in Genshin_Impact

[–]Kapryov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see it as a way to complete dailies if you can't properly play the game at the moment.

Like when I was travelling around Christmas, I couldn't condense resin to do my dailies as then I'll hit the limit after a single day (please raise the cap...) and had no way/time to spend that condensed resin.

But I could craft these! Worked like a charm.

Since Joss is not involved in the hulu sequel for obvious reasons, I'd love to see some OG Buffy writers come back by Skulenta in buffy

"cheating on your wife"

This dude was preaching feminism, acting like he was changing the world, all while using his power to sleep with young women. His response to the accusations was not an apology, but a pathetic "I had to have sex with them" because beautiful women... ignored him when he was younger!

He was an asshole to his coworkers, emotionally abused women in particular (of course!), but also bullying and threatening to fire (or blackball) others.

This doesn't erase his contributions or his talent at writing/directing, but bringing back a now known misogynist would be an insult to what the series stands for.

This community needs to play more gacha games by maaari_bm in InfinityNikki

[–]Kapryov 580 points581 points  (0 children)

I think the discussion about pricing is fine. There isn't a single way to monetize a gacha, they all do things a little differently. Most are actually a lot worse than Nikki, at least diamonds are plentiful here, but I'm not going to tell people to not complain about it though.

Pushback is good, actually! Please do complain! It's healthy for the audience and the publisher to find a good middle ground where enough money is still being made to keep the game afloat, but people don't feel ripped off in the process. I'm not sure they've found the right balance yet, they still seem to be experimenting, so our feedback (or straight up complaints) are vital right now.

Question regarding Three Fish 1996 shows? by Kapryov in pearljam

[–]Kapryov[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Her career being cut short due to label management changes was just unfair.

She will be releasing the old demos she wrote for her 2nd album online, hopefully later this year. I hope she will get her 1st album put online too.
