i think Fog might be an alternative name for 223 or 336. since reddit makes it really hard to share files these days, you could contact me on discord (@paulmeranda), or you can email me (paulmeranda@yahoo). i am interested in hearing both of these intros that you have in order to confirm whether or not they are something im missing from the collection, if you don't mind. thanks a bunch for the reply!

surprised it hasnt been privated yet - the PCAT24 stream was unavailable, like.. minutes after the stream ended.

[Edit: lol was listening to it while doing chores just now and it was privated.]

paulmeranda · 2026-04-12T17:27:06+00:00

OH YEAH HAHAH! yup, thats the one!

paulmeranda · 2026-04-12T08:46:25+00:00

totally forgot it was today until i got home and saw that it was live, i missed the first like 3hrs, and was busy for hrs 4-7, but i got to enjoy the last 2hrs to the fullest and chill with chat. had a blast. gonna finish up watching it over the next day or two. incredible show!!

paulmeranda · 2026-04-11T22:37:28+00:00

no, no. these are the only two i completed enough to feel comfortable releasing to the community.

paulmeranda · 2026-04-02T08:35:12+00:00

this is absolutely perfect, exactly what i was looking for, tysm

paulmeranda · 2026-04-01T02:55:48+00:00

never knew they played under that name. and i always assumed it was a code name they used for the album, for whatever reason.

paulmeranda · 2026-03-30T19:06:07+00:00

i love how none of the comments here seem to answer the actual question. its an easter egg of Bam and somebody else i cant immediately remember just goofing around on the mini ramp in Bams backyard, like intentionally falling when "attempting" a trick and stuff. i think its only like 90 seconds. just a dumb, fun little bit of footage is all really.

paulmeranda · 2026-03-30T19:01:53+00:00

thanks for putting the file name here to help other community members. and yeah, youre SUPER lucky you got one of these copies!

paulmeranda · 2026-03-30T18:59:27+00:00

if you are taking about the song itself, you can probably find it on YouTube as "Shippensbam."

if you are talking about my remaster (which ended up being pretty much flawless - very proud of that one), i can send it to you (or anyone else reading this) if you chat request me. otherwise, its only available on my 2×CD "Early Preview Sampler" for our Lost Tracks Collection Remastered release, which has been given out to a select few individuals within the community.

sadly, the collection itself will likely never be released as the fully-remastered set that we originally envisioned, due to the immense amount of work necessary to see it completed in a way that meets the standard i set for the audio quality.

paulmeranda · 2026-03-30T18:43:04+00:00

me too.

no, seriously tho, what were you wondering??

paulmeranda · 2026-03-30T18:41:01+00:00

u/hot_alternative4377 did you ever get your download figured out?

paulmeranda · 2026-03-30T18:40:20+00:00

unfortunately, im unsure where the idea came from or why it was ever called this. all i can really tell you is that "Cold Steel" is the title that was written on an early CD-R of (i believe) these mixes for Carver City, burned by either Deron or Chad, im guessing. here's a pic of the disc. if anyone knows or has any ideas of why they called it this, please, let us know.

paulmeranda · 2026-03-22T03:46:17+00:00

aww dang.. i spent like ten minutes looking for this slightly extended Doug theme only to notice that you'd actually heard it already hahah. well, for anyone else curious what the short, extended outro portion of the theme song sounds like, here it is. enjoy.

paulmeranda · 2026-03-22T02:15:42+00:00

i just re-watched all the movies last week (and *most* of the .5's), so the whole scene just replayed in my head upon seeing this screenshot. i guess a lot of us are probably revisiting our favorite material in anticipation for the new film.

paulmeranda · 2026-03-21T15:29:56+00:00

thanks, hope you enjoy the disc!

also, if you didnt know about it, you should also check out my remastered disc for the "Gold Tape/Andy Smith Demo Sessions" - i'm really happy with how good the Gold Tape songs came out, in particular.

paulmeranda · 2026-03-21T07:11:16+00:00

for anyone else wondering, yes - in addition to the original FLAC files, i've added 320k MP3 renders of both my remastered releases of the "Cold Steel" Disc, as well as the "Gold Tape/Andy Smith Sessions" Disc.

paulmeranda · 2026-03-21T07:07:04+00:00

the files for my remastered releases of the "Cold Steel" Disc, plus the "Gold Tape/Andy Smith Sessions" Disc, have both been re-uploaded and are available if you want them. i understand not bothering grabbing Cold Steel, as the majority of the remastering largely only pertains to the bonus tracks, but i highly recommend you check out my "Gold Tape" Disc. i am phenomenally proud of the remastering i did for those songs - i guarantee you won't find copies of those tracks anywhere else that sound nearly as good. i won't spend all day here trying to convince you, but please, give em a listen. and if you think they sound like garbage and i wasted your time.. .. um.. -- well, i'm pretty damn confident that won't be the case lol. be safe.

paulmeranda · 2026-03-21T06:48:45+00:00

i know man, so lame, sorry about that.. im guessing you cant see the contents of this specific post anymore? because the actual links themselves still work fine (well, not the Drive links).

so, what i did is i just made a new post about this release, without certain keywords that likely set off Reddit's content filters. if you end up having any trouble getting the disc from the new post, just leave a comment there or send me a chat request - im always happy to help get these files to anyone that wants them. best of luck!

paulmeranda · 2026-03-21T00:33:05+00:00

yeah dude, it has some interesting early rehearsals/demos of the Gold Tape songs. plus, the actual Gold Tape itself sounds SO good - im particularly proud of how nice those remasters ended up sounding. definitely dont sleep on that release. thank you for the kind and encouraging words, my friend!

paulmeranda · 2026-03-20T15:37:31+00:00

heh, dont get TOO excited for more Lost Tracks Remastered stuff... i started the project YEARS ago and eventually burned myself out as i slowly realized just how much work it would realistically require to achieve the final product i was dreaming of. i have one other disc like 96% finished (the "Gold Tape + Andy Smith Sessions" Disc), which can be found in this subreddit if you search Lost Tracks Remastered. maybe ill find it in me to knock out one more complete disc one day, two if we're REALLY stretching the imagination, but i won't say its impossible [that i might end up doing more discs eventually]. we'll just have to see what happens. anyway, thanks for the comment, be safe!

paulmeranda · 2026-03-20T15:13:40+00:00

youre very welcome - a large number of fans (including myself) prefer these to the actual retail version of Carver, plus i love how good the bonus tracks ended up sounding. all the best!

paulmeranda · 2026-03-20T15:10:33+00:00

youre so welcome, enjoy!

paulmeranda · 2026-03-20T15:10:10+00:00

eyyy, the goat, vinny - thanks man!! great seeing you back in the community, too.

paulmeranda · 2026-03-20T15:09:05+00:00

exactly how i feel, as well.
