This here laptop (mine, not yours) is rapidly losing disk space as a direct result of being used as a mobile studio for bandnight some months back...
I've been weeding out the archives -- chopping bits and pieces here and there and organizin' the mp3s into keeper folders and trash bins. The keeper folders are gonna be burned and sent down South. The trash bins will be burnt as well -- as data cds -- as there is a lot more trash in the archives than songs to bob your noggin to.
One of the interesting aspects of all this is coming across conversations picked up on the mic that I never really sat down and listened to. There are definitely some stellar moments that I have let slip into the land of Nod -- and I am clipping and packaging those as well. If there are particular humorous phrases uttered between songs - they get their own file and are deleted from the mother mp3. If there is just a lot of nonsense or some really crummy warm-ups or some unnecessary overextended soundchecking -- it's all being mixed together into one mp3. The latter is turning out - to my ears - to be a rather interesting compilation - but it is a small dosage of the former I'm gonna share here.
This smile file is a mix of two instances on two different nights. One was during a heated debate -- the other was after rockin through a rendition of Uncle Tupelo's New Madrid. I put 'em together because they work - and in this case - one file is better than two. So, in what may be the start of some continuous mp3 uploads, I present the first, very brief:
[Sicemomyeah.mp3 ](57k - Right Click, Save Target/Link As)
too brief, but cool.
