bootlegs
rules:

1. im not interested in trading shows that are, or ever were, in mp3 format.  this is not because i am a prick.  it is becuase whenever audio is encoded into mp3 format, critical sound information is "discarded" in order to maintain the smallest filesize possible for easier distribution.  if you don't believe me click
here.  i'd much rather trade original dat sourced shows, or concerts in "lossless" audio formats like wav or shn.

2. always write using dao.  concerts are continuous.  bootlegs should be continuous.

3. never write faster than 4x (i write at 2x).  again, this is not becuase i am a prick.

4. i use tdk (80 min) music cdrs.  use cdrs of similar brand or quality like memorex or sony.  good cdrs cost about a dollar a piece.

5. if you contact me first, or we have never traded before, you send first.  otherwise, we send at the same time.

painkiller/cat's paw studios 1995

length: 17 tracks (1cd)
notes: first 9 tracks: great bends era gig from hollywood. tracks 10-15: simply brilliant acoustic set from cat's paw studios featuring amazing versions of lucky, bulletproof, you, and subterranean homesick alien. essential.  track 16 is a great cover of the carlie simon song 'nobody does it better' written for the james bond film 'the spy who loved me'.  thom introduces it as 'the sexiest song that was ever written'.  track 17 is creep, which thom introduces as 'the second sexiest song'.
