Italy Passes Law Allowing P2P Music?
The Italian parliament passed a new copyright law in both houses that would allow citizens to share noncommercial and degraded music over the internet freely. That’s going to hurt – but some say it happened totally unknowingly – we’ll see … Continue reading

Montreal ’84
You’ll never guess what I went through this morning, prior to posting this week’s Friday Boot — though you’re free to take a guess. Say what? Oh, on to the boot already. Yes. That’d be Montreal, Canada, November 2nd 1984, … Continue reading
An mp3 Is An mp3 Is An mp3?
Cognitive Daily is carrying out an online poll to determine just how audible the fluctuation in quality is between mp3’s that have different encodings: I created three different versions of two song clips — 64, 128, and 256 kbps MP3 … Continue reading
Hamburg ’76

Sexual Harassment In The Workplace
Yes, the way it was played in San Diego, 12.12.1981 (late show). Some more interesting facts: the very last show of the tour, with Frogs With Dirty Little Lips as a closer, but Whipping Post as a second (!) tune … Continue reading

Hamburg ’88
Someone mentioned that they were expecting a 1988 show last week, so who am I to disappoint? Pat Buzby reminds us that this show features nothing composed after 1976, and calls it “a blessing, though it feels bad in a … Continue reading
Frankfurt ’82
The Venue: Alte Oper, Frankfurt, Germany The Date: 11th June 1982 There is one main reason to love this show (plenty of other reasons, of course, but one main one); The Black Page. I was listening to it just last … Continue reading

Wohs Sdrawkcab Eht
The members of our rockin’ teenage combo don’t know this right now that we’re not gonna open the show the normal way we usually open it. Gonna start with Green Genes… the whole show backwards. And it’s 1 March 1973, … Continue reading
