The Grateful Dead and The Beach Boys-Fillmore East, New York, NY 1971-SBD

2008-10-26T15:06:00.000-07:00

This is an awesome show! This is the legendary show that brought the Beach Boys out of 5 years of obscurity and allowed them to earn some much needed and deserved artistic credibility. According to legend, Bob Dylan was in the audience, and after the show he said of the Beach Boys, "Those guys are fuckin' good!". I agree with Dylan on that one. Give it a listen and hopefully you will, too.

My computer has crapped out on me, and that was where I had most of my boots. I have a few on CD I might post, but until I get my computer fixed and cross my fingers that no data was lost, the posts here will be a little scant. Enjoy what's already been posted, though. I'll be back to post new stuff, but it will be at about the rate I've been doing lately and not as frequently as when I first started the blog.

So long for now.

HAPPY 4/20!!!

Alternate Brian Wilson's SMiLE Mix

2008-04-02T11:41:00.000-07:00

If anyone reading this is not familiar with The Beach Boys' SMiLE, find out more about it here, here, here, here, here, or on a million other web sites.

Over the years, people have compiled their own SMiLE "mixes", often speculating how the album would've fit together if it had actually been released. Since the advent of affordable digital audio editing people have been making more and more ambitious and "far out" SMiLE mixes, while others have "reconstructed" SMiLE by editing the original 60s pieces together in the same order as 2004's Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE.

Someone who goes by the handle "Alternate Brian Wilson" (check him out on myspace) recently created a SMiLE Mix, and you can find it here:

Barenaked Ladies-The Yellow Tape-1991-OOP

2008-03-26T20:58:00.000-07:00

This is the Canadian alternative pop/rock band Barenaked Ladies' long out of print 1991 self-titled, self-released EP which was available only on cassette in Canada, was never available commercially in the states, but was released on vinyl and cd in the UK. Known affectionately by fans as "The Yellow Tape" because of the yellow liner card included with the tape, this was the first indie release to go platinum in Canada, though it would be another 7 years before the Ladies experienced any major success in the states. This tape was originally intended by the band to be a demo for the 1991 SXSW music conference in Texas, but they released it commercially after demand for their music grew due to Canadian news outlets making a big deal out of the mayor of Toronto banning them from performing at Toronto city hall because she thought the band's name was sexist.

4 of the tracks on this would be re-recorded for their major label debut album, Gordon, and a longer version of "Fight the Power" would end up on the Coneheads soundtrack.

Tracklisting:
1-Be My Yoko Ono
2-Brian Wilson
3-Blame It On Me

Now that Nargo the Bort's Deviant Subculture and Nargo's Free for All are gone, I've decided to make a pathetic attempt to try to fill the void. I'll be posting some bootlegs that I have, but my collection is pretty limited, so if anyone wants to be an author and post their own boots up here to help make the site better, leave a comment, and I'll figure out how to make you an author on this blog. First boot is coming up sometime tonight!
