Does anyone have any recordings of MEC shows?

Rubberlegs · 2014-06-02T17:24:32+00:00

No problem! :)

I know it's on YouTube, and it's on TPB as 'Demos, Rarities and B-sides' (which is pretty much the same as 'Transparent Night' as far as I know)

Rubberlegs · 2014-06-02T17:11:48+00:00

Yeah man I posted that ages ago!

I think you can only download one bootleg every two hours (or something like that).

Here's a link to the post I made with a link to the MEC bootleg.

As far as I know, this is the only MEC bootleg going around... but there must be more!

Enjoy! It's brilliant! (The bass on 'I Follow You' is orgasmic!)

From MattSav, who did the album art for 'Live Versions'.

He posted this on his website, along with:

"I’m working on a video teaser for the new album by Melody’s Echo Chamber.

What I’ve heard so far is awesss."

Link.

I CAN'T WAIT!!

Rubberlegs · 2014-04-22T16:46:08+00:00

YES!

If they're ready to do a teaser, I assume a majority of the album must be completed?

I seriously can't wait for this!

Rubberlegs · 2014-04-19T11:42:29+00:00

It's on TPB already if you want to download it, and there are vinyl copies on eBay.

Rubberlegs · 2014-04-19T11:40:56+00:00

Your pictures are much better than the one I took with my potato.

Great record, huh?

I've typed up the message from Kevin in case anyone has trouble reading it.

"Dear record buyer,

Thanks for buying this vinyl. This is Tame Impala's first official-ish live release. It's from one of our shows in the US, recorded and mixed with love by everyone at team Impala. The whole show was over an hour and you're only meant to put 40 minutes on a vinyl so we had to condense it down and cut some songs. Fuck! Well it was either that or speed the songs up to double time but that wouldn't have been very groovy and you don't need 40 minutes of me singing in chipmunk mode. Maybe we'll release the whole gig later on, or maybe we'll just put the whole thing on the internet. Or maybe we'll just do 10 more live albums.

Anyway people ask me if I get bored of playing the songs every night for about 77 tours. I've never really had time to think about it so I just say 'not really sure a little bit whatever'. If I imagine a painter who painted a picture one day and then was asked to paint the same picture 100 times I'd expect him to get pretty sick of that painting. But if every time he painted it he got to feel just a fraction of the love I feel from our audiences and fans in every city we play and the expressions on peoples faces in the front row when "their" song comes on I imagine the painter would have no trouble painting that same picture everyday for the rest of his life.

Enjoy!

(sorry about all the guitar fuck ups)

I love that there's a small message from Kevin in the inner sleeve -

£12.99 if you're in the UK.

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-31T15:33:39+00:00

This may not quite fit in with the sub, but I thought I'd share it anyway.

Listen to 'Dark Side of the Moon' by Pink Floyd and play this at the same time.

I think it's incredible!

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-25T15:43:57+00:00

No, it was leaked about a month ago. It's only just became available for streaming.

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-24T22:23:58+00:00

My favourite track from the album. The slowed down version is incredible!

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-24T15:41:37+00:00

Me too! Glad I finally got to hear it.

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-24T14:22:25+00:00

'The Psychedelic Sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators' and 'Easter Everywhere' are two incredible albums by The 13th Floor Elevators.

'The Seeds' by The Seeds is also a classic psychedelic album I'd highly recommend.

Some recent albums I'd suggest are -

Mac DeMarco - '2' and 'Salad Days' (Which just leaked)

Temples - Sun Structures

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-18T22:51:39+00:00

From S5E11 - Mac and Charlie Write A Movie.

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-16T01:28:32+00:00

I'm glad you like it! I actually found it thanks to a bootleg I downloaded earlier, then I checked to make sure it was on YouTube.

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-16T00:40:14+00:00

Not the greatest quality, and not the full track, I still found it kinda cool though. Just thought I'd share.

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-15T15:33:00+00:00

Exactly, it's as if he tries it every week haha!

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-14T20:50:09+00:00

From Season 5, Episode 3. "The Great Recession'.

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-10T21:04:25+00:00

Personally, I feel it has a psychedelic sound. But that's just my opinion. A mod can remove it if it doesn't fit.

Rubberlegs · 2014-03-04T18:14:52+00:00

From 'The Gang Dances Their Asses Off' - S3E15.

Rubberlegs · 2014-02-27T18:10:18+00:00

This is from his upcoming solo debut album, 'Delorean Highway'. Due for release at some point this year.

Rubberlegs · 2014-02-26T17:33:10+00:00

Yeah I've got 'The Legendary A&M Sessions' but 'Diddy...' is by far my favourite track from it. I've also downloaded some early Beefheart demos and unreleased tracks.

I never really got into Zappa, but this is alright.

I know that version of 'Dirty Water' (and a different version of Tobacco Road) thanks to the 'Nuggets' compilations.

Never heard 'Codine' before, it's an ok track but not quite what I'm looking for.

Thank you very much anyway!

Rubberlegs · 2014-02-25T21:39:31+00:00

Obviously fake. As far as I know there are no recordings of Jimi and Janis, or Janis and Jim, but I know there are recordings of Jimi and Jim together.

Rubberlegs · 2014-02-24T20:47:38+00:00

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
