Say something nice about his collectionhttps://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collection
>he has expressed that his obsession with music prevented him from having a social life and caused a romantic partner to leave him: "She said 'I never see you,' because I’d been running around recording Pavement", he said. "I would rather have these recordings of Pavement’s first tour of the Midwest than have had the relationship which I really don’t remember well at all."Holy fucking based
>no big black, rapeman, or shellacfuck kinda chicagoan is this
>>129984164more dedicated to it than 100% of /mu/
i'm enjoying The Feelies shows. great band liveprotip: get the GratefulGrabber browser extension for easy downloads
>>129984137>https://archive.org/details/@aadam_jacobs_collectionthis is kind of awesome.listening to Gastr Del Sol right now
>>129984284lots still to be uploaded, though he was banned from the metro for 6 years so depends if they played there or not during that time
>>129984137I have nothing nice to say to autists and the hyper-obssessed
This interface is really bad to be able to find things and it will be even worse if they actually upload the 10k concerts.
>>129984137Very extensive. Gonna jam this Tortoise show from 2005. Also have to say though, as a taper of shows myself, people are garbage. The constant noise of chatter, even during songs, is tragic. You're either there for the music or you're not. Stay away if you don't give a shit about it enough to have a meaningless chat during an experience of live art.
>>129984476too based for /mu/this is why I stopped going to shows, the crowd doesn't shut the fuck up, no matter how loud the band is.Fuck's sake shut the fuck up for 90 minutes, put your goddam phone down and just experience the art.
>>129984284I didn't see any wesley willis either, though that still might be forthcoming.
>>129984164Literally me
>>129984137Based autist
>>129984898I went to a Greg Freeman show at a fairly small venue recently and these douchebag college bros would not stop talking at full volume until this guy next to me yelled at them. You're walking distance from multiple bars, go there and talk.
Without this I would have never geard of Galaxy of Mailbox Whores.I don't know what a mailbox whore is, but now I have access to a galaxy of them.
>>129986299That's funny, a friend just told me to check them out recently.
go here bros, it's easier to navigatehttps://aadamjacobs.dunlap.ai/
>>129986456NICE VIRUS, THANKS BRAH!!!
>>129986456That is easier to use. Thanks.
>>129984137>He wore his hair in long pigtails and at times showed up in outfits like a pink cocktail dress or a schoolgirl uniform.Fag lol
I see some shows from 2026. Are they done uploading?
>>12999034311 have been uploaded today. only a quarter are up assuming the 10k figure is accurate
bizarre how the quality of the mbv show in 92 is top notch for what kind of portable recording equipment was but the 2018 ones are absolute ass
Getting me some Lozenge rn. Cool shit.>ChicagoNo Shellac?No US Maple?Who does this cocksucker thinks he is.>>129990413I recall looking up for Bungle bootlegs. All the disco volante ones were obviously recorded on tape, gritty as shit sound, meaty and midrangy. Then, on california tour, all boots were digital, and they sounded like trash, boomy, hollow, shrill.
>>129990654>Chicago in the 90s>zero Jesus Lizard showswtf
>>129984137Holy shit this is amazing! Thanks for posting this, this is what /mu/ should be about.
>>129984284only one Tortoise show as wellhttps://archive.org/details/ajc01319_tortoise2005-07-16.ajcproject?webamp=default
>>129984284seven Bastro shows though
75% of it hasn't been uploaded yet, come back later and maybe it will have the albini's stuff
>>129990988hopefully. Very little grunge at the moment too. Though there's a Nirvana show from '89 where hardly anyone is there it seems which is surreal to listen to
kind of crazy that this guy was doing this for so long, literally 40 years, and he never got good at itwildly inconsistent recordings from pretty good to completely unlistenable
>>129990343Apparently it will still take them a few years to complete.>Once a month, Brian Emerick makes the trip from the Chicago suburbs to Jacobs' house in the city to pick up 10 or 20 boxes each stuffed with 50 or 100 tapes. Emerick's job is to transfer — in real time — the analog recordings to digital files that can be sent to other volunteers who mix and master the shows for upload to the archive.>Emerick estimates he's digitized at least 5,500 shows since late 2024 and that it will take another few years to complete the project.
God bless nerds.
>>129984898>>129986035It’s awful, but you need to get as close to the stage as possible. It gets really packed and cramped, but it’s your best chance to avoid people fucking talking around you.
>>129984137anyone knows if this stuff its being uploading on any p2p community?
>>129984137I enjoyed the Sonic Youth tape where they basically performed Daydream Nation right before it was released
>>129984137is that being upload to any p2p community?
>>129993536you can download everything as a torrent. You do it bro
Aaaa
>>129984284You're supposed to be dead, Steve.
Listening to the Godspeed tape now. Very good quality.
>>129998317It kinda sucked ngl. Theyre kind of basic.
>>129998996>nglYou just did.
Jonathan Richman at Lounge Ax is my favorite so far
Blessed thread
>>129984353>says this while on /mu/fuck off anon, when an autist gets a useful obsession like OP's picrel, it's great
>>130000761This, don't look a gift sperg in the mouth
>>129998317Obviously GYBE and probably the whole audience were all gigantic lefties, but it was still pretty edgy to play the George Bush piece publicly only three weeks after 9/11.
>>130001600Not really. They never fell for the bullshit and knew exactly what he was. Time has proven them right.
haven't listened to the Husker Du ones but they probably sound better than their studio albums
>>129984164disregard hoes, acquire amateur recordings
