Beastie Boys “Pass The Mic”
This is a live version of “Pass The Mic” from a bootleg CD called Rabid that was recorded in Amsterdam on June 24, 1994. The quality on this is spectacular - not surprising since it was issued on KTS (Kiss The Stone). If any of you are or used to be bootleg CD collectors, then you know the quality stuff KTS used to put out.
When I got this CD back in ‘96, I used to listen to it over and over - this song in particular. Still to this day it cracks me up hearing Yauch say “My name is Captain Crunch” instead of “My name is MCA.” I have no idea why I find this so amusing, but I always have and always will.
Rest in Peace, Yauch. Thanks for being such a huge part of my youth.
If anyone would like a copy of this album let me know. I’d be glad to share it.
Modest Mouse “Cowboy Dan”
This is a phenomenal live version of “Cowboy Dan” recorded during the band’s show at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, Colorado on September 10, 2000.
You can download the whole set here. It’s well worth it.
Wish they had recorded 764-HERO’s set too.

Warpaint “Bees (Yours Truly Session)”
And all that time it took you to get yourself straight
was too late…

The Twilight Sad “And She Would Darken The Memory (Live)”
Aside from “The Wrong Car,” this is my favorite Twilight Sad song. I wasn’t surprised to hear them play it last night (they’ve played it all three times I’ve seen them live), but I was thrilled nonetheless. The sound issues had been worked out by this time, and it was the perfect way to close out an excellent set,* and cap off an interesting evening.
This is why I love The Twilight Sad. I wish everyone could see them perform this song live…
* They actually played one final song after this, but whatever.
Treepeople “Party”
Live at a warehouse in Seattle, June 1990. Look how young Doug looks!
I really wish these guys would reunite.
Built to Spill “Broken Chairs” live at Virgin Megastore, Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA. 1999. My bff Andrea was in charge of all of these in-stores, and this one was easily my favorite. I drove out from Vegas for it (and the show that night at the Roxy). You can see me in the crowd - I’m right up front, behind the guy in the blue hat. I’m the bleached blonde kid in the white t-shirt bouncing up and down (at the 2:08 mark). This was SUCH an awesome performance. Seeing BTS is such an intimate setting was amazing.
Chokebore “A Taste For Bitters” live on Nulle Part Ailleurs, 03/31/97.
This style of living
the more I think, the more I think
this means out.
This style of living
the more I think, the more I think
this means it.
No more drowning and the answer,
see how my silence leaks…
see how my fingers have folded, folded
and crumble when speak.
I see my life as a sonic tone,
I never thought it would deepen,
but you don’t care for me and I don’t care now for anybody.
