socalled live at the jcc

[foxtongue]

Josh is thrilled that I recorded his Vancouver gig, which makes me happy, and mitagates all possible feelings of uncertainty that I might have had in presenting it to you, my dear readers.

So, without further ado: My bootleg of SOCALLED Live at the JCC.

Socalled is liberally funky, flawlessly presenting a wicked klezmer fusion of extraordinary experiment, featuring intelligent jazz, sparkling piano, and witty hip-hop, mildly accented with a surprising dash of country. The musicianship displayed is blinding. All that and he's charming.

My little recording doesn't capture even a tenth of how impossibly good the music was, but it might give you enough of an idea to make sure you don't miss the next chance you have to attend one of the concerts. I'd rather accidentally fall on a knife.

Whoops.

That'd be the album, not your bootleg.
Whoopsh.

Fixed!

Sort of bad that it's been up a day without anyone else catching that. I would rather think that people would be happy to get free music.

Good News: It's the right thing (I suspect).
Yikes News: It's 1.2GB now.

Once I've downloaded, mind if I crush it to some sorta non-huge-tubed version in MP3 or something, and send a new link?

PS: I think everyone's outta town, or something.

Blame my size-queen moment on the videos.

[zenrender.livejournal.com]

Oh, VIDEOS.

That explains a lot.

Am currently downloading at 3.48MB/s, so that's okay.

Mp3 only found here:

Oh, and it's 54MB, but no yummy video goodness.

I apologize ahead of time for Frank and my mother singing so loud on the recording. As I told Josh, we can maybe market that as a mark of authenticity.

You have obviously not heard the Tom Waits October recording we did for Duncan, that has Riel going "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooOooOOOoOOoOO" throughout...

Pete and I spent HOURS trying to level that down.

No, I hadn't, but that sounds fairly awesome. I considered breaking out soundforge and seeing what I could do, but eventually I just waved my hands in the air in the universal gesture for "to hell with it" and stuck it up raw.
