Jeff Ott and I (Arica Pelino) made this movie in 1992 for our friend Kerry who lived in Oakland before moving back home to Milwaukee. Sixty minutes of footage has been removed to protect the innocent.
Punks: Jeff Ott, Lucky Dog, Jean Repetto, Pat Hynes, Eggplant, Aaron Elliot, Mike Dirnt, Me, Carrie, Kelsea, Monica, Jen, Julia, and Erika.
Here is one from Arica Pelino’s cassette collection. Since we are on a Green Day moratorium until the tour ends, you get a bunch of really cool and sometimes obscure stuff from her collection.
This comp tape has some well known bands along with bands I have only seen on Gilman St. flyers and never heard.
The first 3 minutes of this tape was trashed- the tape was totally serrated – I am surprised it even played through. Fwd to 3min for a more audible recording.

This was another random pull that I noticed while looking for another tape. I saw that this is already on youtube, but in lesser quality. I got this from George Norton, who taped it off the radio. Thanks George!
This is such a great performance, loved these guys. Big thanks to Pat Duncan and WFMU for bringing little known bands (at the time) to play in studio.

It’s Monday (and the dreaded April Fools Day) so I figured I would post something that I really enjoyed listening to while digitizing. This tape comes from Eggplant, but I think it was given to him by Radley Hirsch. It has Radley’s trademark black scratch-off typeface on the cassette label. Always going above and beyond for us punks, he was.
The mix slides around a bit at first but settles in pretty nicely so I decided against a rebalance. Forward it a few minutes and you’ll see (hear) what I mean.

Hi, Here is my audio recording of crimpsrhine from Whole Earth. It was done with my step dad’s Montgomery Ward boom box. It turned out better than I remembered. Enjoy!
This is only part 1- you can find the rest on youtube

Another late upload. I am waiting to hear from the light rail studios people about this webcast- it starts in 15min and I have no Skype login credentials! I hope I made the cut.
Anyway, here is the Crimpshrine show that I taped from The Place in Davis back in 1988. That Montgomery Ward boombox had some pretty decent mics- these recordings always surprise me when I pull them out.

Here is the other vote winner this week. This is a typical early Gilman mix- the biggest challenge was the drums. There is very little snare in the mix and when I tried to rebalance in Izotope, it would pull in a bunch of non-drum instruments and sound awful. I was able to play with the separation feature in the app to get a little more snare without making it sound odd.
Last week’s vote was kind of a fiasco- I accidentally started it a day after I announced it, and then people were emailing me and I didn’t see them until today. Thankfully, we are now polling through Patreon, so no more chaos. I promise.
I never knew that Short Dogs Grow headlined this one. I wonder if there is tape of that set.
