A gorgeous, professionally shot The Twilight Sad mini-set at Chelsea in Vienna, Austria on April 19 of this year.
God, this is SO fucking good.
The Afghan Whigs “Debonair (Live at the Fonda Theatre 11/09/12)”
My buddy bootlegged the Afghan Whigs show Rachel and I went to on Friday. Stoked.
Last night, Frank Turner’s new hardcore band, Mongol Horde played their first ever show in London. And someone filmed it. Rad.
How fucking amazing is this? So good to see/hear Frank doing punk rock again.
Also, they have a song called “Stillborn Unicorn,” and it doesn’t get much more awesome than that.
Elbow “Bitten By The Tailfly” Live in the UK, 2002.
Man, I had forgotten how incredible Asleep in the Back is. Such a solid album. Damn near perfect. I saw them twice when they toured for this record and they absolutely blew me away. Haven’t seen them since though - I wonder if they’re still this incredible live.
Mogwai “Killing All The Flies” live at the Fonda Theatre, Hollywood, California, June 2, 2012.
The guy filming this was sitting right in front of us. You can hear me cheering at the beginning. I love how perfectly clear the audio is until the song peaks, and then it’s barely listenable. Ha ha.

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.

Wish they had recorded 764-HERO’s set too.
