tonight, I get to do one of my least favorite things- posting to the website from my phone because my internet connection is out. I really hate doing big compute tasks on the phone. I guess I am old, I need a pc.
Anyway, here is a show that our friend Saki taped when Big Star went to Japan in 1994. It sounds only okay, but it appears uncirculated.
Recorded by: Sakiko Honma
equipment used: portable DAT and unknown mics
Transfer Equipment: sony pcmr500 and m-audio audiophile 2496 card
I understand that most people know Penelope from her time in The Avengers, but I have always loved her late 80s/early 90s work with Birdboys and other acoustic musicians as much, if not more.
I urge you to stop doing whatever you are doing and watch this. SO GOOD. Forward to 22min and listen to “Waiting Room”. Just gorgeous.
and thanks to Penelope, this music was my gateway to all of the SF/Davis/Bay “alternative” music such as Movie Stars, Camper Van Beethoven, Wannabe Texans, and many more.
Recorded for german TV. Transfer from 1st gen VHS.
