Caspar Babypants – Daisy Play – New free song!

September 4th, 2010 zeke No comments

Taken from babypantsmusic.com :

this is a little song I wrote for a sweet little girl

named Daisy who is having a little fight with cancer.

I wanted her to have a song about getting better

so I wrote this about a daisy that leaves

its “flower bed” and runs free!

Subset (PUSA + Sir Mix-A-Lot + Outtasite) – 2000-03-31 – Palookaville, Santa Cruz, CA – (AUD) – TORRENT

September 2nd, 2010 zeke 2 comments

My first torrent is up on Dimeadozen.org. Great site where you can download live concerts from various bands.

“Is DIME membership closed? Every time I try to register, you’re always full.

We are still accepting new members, but there is a cap in order to keep the load on DIME’s servers (and the load on DIME’s moderators!) at a manageable level, so that users can get the best possible service and support.

Every ten minutes around the clock a sweep runs that removes any accounts that have expired since the last run. DIME’s home page tells you how many new accounts were opened in the preceding twenty-four hours, and that’s a good gauge of how many openings there might be over the next twenty-four hours.

So keep trying, and good luck. We do not have a waiting list, nor (at this writing) an invitation system. You just have to snag a slot when one is available. We’ve found that if you keep trying for about thirty minutes at a sitting a couple of times a day it should not take long. “

Great time seeing PUSA. It was free, warm and clear outside, they haven’t played here
in a while and they pulled out a couple treats.

Unfortunately, I made it to the show ~ 15 minutes after their official starting time of
2030, and, I think they started playing a little before that. I was able to hear some of
the songs I missed, and, I know for certain I missed ‘Kitty’, ‘Boll Weevil’, and ‘Ladybug’.
I walked in during the middle of ‘Highway Forever’ and didn’t start recording audio until
the song was almost over and decided not to start video until the next song, which ended
up being ‘Back Porch’.

Overall the show was good and the guys seemed to be enjoying themselves very much as did
the crowd, but, they didn’t sing along too much. Audio and video came out nicely, however,
as I was so close to the stacks, the mic on my HG20 distorted with deep and heavy bass hits.

Mr. McKaeg meshes well with the band although he obviously doesn’t have the history that
Dave did, he plays the old songs well and he fits in. I hope these guys stick together and
keep playing.

Any idea where this is from?

I can tell you one thing: Camera work is horrible. You get motion sickness when the camera films the audience…
