Portland Recording

geez dude why don't just upload the show and go about your way to the land of no guitars, lightshows, or drugs. I think it's pretty obvious that you were trying to offend someone but no one really cares what you think. So do me a favor and don't post again telling us that you will at some point upload the show. Quit trying to make people beg and just do it.

btw, thanks for taping the show and do you think you could upload this to archive?
:P

I was trying to offend someone? I said I liked the show, but there were two little parts that bugged me. I wasn't trying to offend, just offering my opinion--no one told me that I wasn't supposed to do that here. I have put a lot of work into this tape--pasting it all back together was something I did not know how to do, and all the usual work of taping--recording, transferring, tracking, posting--is plenty. Maybe I was looking for a little appreciation...guess this was the wrong place to look for it. I was up half the night finsishing up the show, getting ready to share it. It's a good thing that most people aren't as ungrateful as you, there would be less music being shared...

your opinion is your opinion. I do appreciate the time you put into taping and uploading the show I just don't think it's necessary to post five times before you upload the show tell us that you will someday have it up. You'd probably receive more appreciation if you actually upload the show not just played this teasing game. When I open a thread that says Portland recording I expect to see a recording from portland not someone talking about what they don't like about the band. That's my opinion.

yltfan · Feb 01, 2007, 05:00 PM

Thanks for your opinion. I will try to never share mine again, since you don't want to hear it.

I kinda thought (judging from the other threads on this topic) that people were interested in where things were at with this recording. No one forced you to read anything.

If anyone in Portland wants copies of this, I burned a few, shoot me a message.

Anyone listened to the sample?

yes.
it sounds damned good.
how does jim's voice sound?

I just came back from lunch, and unfortunately, could not help mulling over this whole thing while eating...

aMD...it basically sounds like you are saying "give us your recording and shut the hell up". Is that how you really feel about this?

I find it interesting that you are willing to share your opinions on bands you hate (Death Cab for Cutie, Gwen Stefani) but are offended by my minor complaints about the MMJ show.

Also, it seems like you think I am screwing around with the tape. Not so. I have been working on it at home every night for the last couple nights, and then dragging my ass to work, where I can't work on the tape, but can come here to chat with you.

I am still committed to sharing this recording with people, but am becoming much less motivated to do the last hour or two of work needed on this. ugh

aMD · Feb 01, 2007, 07:52 PM

no man, I think you're reading too much into what I'm saying. I would love it if you would upload the tape and so would a lot of other people. I probably would have been more receptive to hearing the play by play of the uploading process if you hadn't been critical of the band first. You're definitely entitled to your opinion. The difference between that and me talking shit about gwen stephanie is that this is not her official forum. If I registered a new user at the deathcab boards and started talking shit about them right off the bat, I might expect to catch some shit back. But whatever, I'm over it, I hope you are. And I hope you upload that show. Pretty please? I'd really appreciate it! ::)

First off, thanks so much for being a part of the show, for taping it, all of your hard work in bringing it to us.

I had to leave the show early, and was unaware of the six-song encore complete with horns that ended the show. So understandably so, I have been slobbering over this one.

I think what's great about MMJ is how many styles and crowds that the band brings together. I saw all types of people with various musical tastes.

There's plenty of room on this forum (even though this is only my first post) for everyone's opinion.

I live in PDX and would love a copy of the show, thanks!

Dimeadozen is down until Tuesday (they are switching servers or something). Y'all are gonna have to wait.

And aMD, I am pretty much over it, but you should go back and read your posts--I don't think I'm reading too much into it. You said:

"I think it's pretty obvious that you were trying to offend someone but no one really cares what you think. So do me a favor and don't post again telling us that you will at some point upload the show."

"When I open a thread that says Portland recording I expect to see a recording from portland not someone talking about what they don't like about the band."

Nice. Thanks!

The show sounds great!!! :D

Thanks so much ylt fan, you made a muddy room sound quite clear...

Just as I remembered it...

Kronski

yltfan · Feb 14, 2007, 04:45 PM

I agree--it does sound just like you heard it that night--muddy, too...
I was tempted to mess with the EQ, or try other stuff, but I resisted the temptation. I think it sounds fine, but I do think it's a bit muddy.

Anyway, glad you like.

I am surprised at how few downloads it's getting--by far my least downloaded show on Dime. Snatched only 29 times so far, whereas most of my other stuff is over 100, some much more...

Kory · Feb 14, 2007, 05:06 PM

I'm out of town right now on a firewalled network and will download when i get home next week. Thanks for putting it up

yltfan · Feb 16, 2007, 01:43 PM

If anyone wants to repost my recording to archive, please do--it's not getting much interest on Dime.

winner · Feb 17, 2007, 04:28 PM

I'm really interested in getting the show (as I was there and It was my first MMJ concert.) I can't seem to ever be able to get a dime account :'( and I was wondering if someone could post a link to the file or something

Kory · Feb 17, 2007, 04:51 PM

You can't just give someone your torrent file from dime as they are specifically generated to match your account. You'll either have to keep trying for now or wait til someone puts it up on the archive. I'll be home in a few days and download it and post it to archive.
