I found this box of 78s?

I dont know if the web brings people here.
Dont care much, either way.

But the last few days have been interesting.

Someone here near Kenora Ontario was giving away a big box of 78s. Free. Placed outside. First come first served... I had just bought a "grandma phone" (sp) at a garage sale for $30, just a few weeks earlier, for a display peice... so obv i grabbed these 100+ shellac slabs real quick.

Been sorting through them.... Its almost all 1914-1919 trench music.   This passed man sure loved his fox trots... and the ukelele/banjo.

So i searched youtube for some of the tracks, and slapped together a few mixes for my wife who wondered why i even got these... Once I get the steel needles for the phonograph, Ill be listening to all them... so, more mixes to come..

I am so glad I inherited these 230g slabs for free, in this tiny lil mill town, no less...

Here are some footnotes.

Part 1 and 2.

Plumtree: Live, in Studio(s)

 It's been a while since I shared a tape, so here’s one:

Plumtree: Live, in Studio

I'm not sure exactly where I got this tape. 

I'm certain it was through mail, in a tape trade, with a stranger back when people would do that kinda thing. Maybe it could it have been from YupiSlyr (Yuppie Slayer), or with someone else on the long defunct Sloannet boards (?) ... I really can't remember. 

Regardless; I've been reminiscing Plumtree as of late, and listening to this tape was a delectable lil flashback; Plumtree in their prime; a wonderful time capsule circa 94-96.. 

The recording dubs are uncut, except into three parts. each from an in studio broadcast on public and campus radio waves.

- CBC Realtime was a program that aired nationally, between 1994 and 1997. (Wiki)

- The Great Western Ballroom was a program broadcast on campus radio CJSR, in Edmonton, Alberta in the mid 1990s cjsr.com

Chad VanGaalen - Live in Studio; February 21, 2005 @ CBC Radio2

this is not my recording. this isn't even on a tape, so again, i'm fudging rules. 

(I*Heart*CBC)

regardless, ... lately, i've been very productive cleaning the house, a few times this week, just moving along to this old classic live set... 

..and I wondered, has anyone else heard this?

i ripped this recording from a CBC Radio 2 web stream in 2005/6?
i am certain the feed disappeared  by 2007/8. 

 A studio recorded ~-30 minute session, with 'golden' rare unreleased & alt.versions tracks. 

Recorded Feb 21st, 2005. (exactly 14 years ago, today!!!)

As a set, it is an epic adventure of a gem. (i.e harmonica rips and keyboard riffs and tambourinetc.)

Track names remain as they were listed at the time.  Some have been renamed/released since.

track listing:

electro physical

dead ends

clinically dead

slow kill

surrounded in smoke

somewhere i know there is nothing

Sappyfest #1: Five Hours of Sound Capsules

Kids Jam @ Sappyfest #1 

image by Melanie Colosimo

It's been almost two years since I’ve shared a recording I’ve made.  

As evidenced from previous posts, I'm obviously a huge fan of Eric`s Trip, and all the musicians who comprised the original band (Julie, Chris, Rick and Mark).

In the summer of 2006, my future/current wife and I drove across half of Canada to attend the first Sappy Records Music Festival (now known as Sappyfest), in Sackville NB, and of course, I brought the old radio shack tape deck.   

I taped both 1.5 hour sets from Eric’s Trip, and all three solo sets from the band members.  

Sappyfest continues to be an annual tradition for many, and Sappyfest #12 is happening this coming weekend. In recognition of Sappyfests’ continued awesomeness, I’d like to share my uncut recordings from Sappyfest #1 with anyone who may be interested in listening to them.  

Be warned: The quality is not top notch: these sets were recorded on a $20 tape deck, held in hand.

Enjoy!

-         Three 30 minute solo sets: I’ll keep the track listing “a surprise”.  You should know that Rick’s set is a masterful (and legendary) tribute set to Syd Barrett!

Eric’s Trip @ George’s Roadhouse, Sunday August  6, 2006

-         This Sunday Set is a real window into a late night ET set: the playing is sloppy but the stage banter is amazing. ;)

Moonsocket - '19 little songs' (Sap003)

This is a 1993-indie classic album that you should really hear in full. .... if you are someone who appreciates the nuances of lo-fi home recording at their most sincere.

If you would like to hear a ~six song selection....

Moon socket continues to make music.

^^ Id write sappy musings about my affection for this tape in my past. ... but I wont.,,,,

Julie Doiron & The Wooden Stars (july 1999, The Rivoli)

The title speaks for itself.

Julie Doiron and The Wooden Stars return a year later for a set at the Rivoli.

A much darker set list than the previous year...

I Found This Box of 7s

And now for a twist.  After the parents brought me the last of my remnants, I found this box of 7” s.

I won’t share much more of these, but I decided to rip a representative EP (~20 minutes).

The tracks below were ripped by me, this past week, from the vinyl I have in hand.

Most of this music is representative of the Canadian maritime indie music from the 1990s                .
(only Sentridoh/Elliott Smith are from the American west coast)
