FLLR 028 - Misc AV320 recordings

-

 So my first digital recording device was an Archos AV320, which is shown here.

Remember, this was several years before iPhones and being able to enjoy movies on the go.  This also played MP3s, but man was it bulky...and buggy.  I previously had a Jukebox Multimedia JBMM20, but that didn't support remote recording and had a tiny screen as well.

Unfortunately, the AV20 turned out to be a very poor choice for the recordings I wanted to do, as anything with a portable spinning HDD in it does not like being jostled or moved.  I would only use this for two shows until I replaced this with a Sony Hi-MD (records to WAV), which lasted for a couple of years.

So for some reason I saved some recordings I made to it as a part of testing it out.

...including this GEM from Robot Wars which I'm surprised hasn't been sampled by any of those wacky pro-Brexiters (or has it?)...."yes, the borders have gone back up, we've said "SEE YOU" to the EU and European harmony most definitely stops HERE.  This is about national pride.  This is about to go ballistic.  This is ROBOT WARS.  LET THE WARS begin! Schiffel entente or total affront?  Camaraderie or chaos?  Diplomacy or destruction? We don't want Euro united, we want Euro DYNAMITED."

Looks like this was filmed Jan/Feb 2003.  Of course, this is online (only upped last year), so the episode is directly available on YouTube now, along with I'm sure most everything else Robot Wars, yay!


Also includes a digitization of a Disney 7" of Robin Hood.  Not sure which one of these versions, though.

Seemed to remember it had this cover.  Wish we had a Robin Hood for today to undo the obscene upward transfer of wealth over the past 40 years which seems to have hyper-accelerated in the past few months.  But don't want to dwell on such sadness...I'm going to watch some more battle bots go at it!


Anyway, here are all the miscellanea in FLLR 028 for you to enjoy.

FLLR DAT-01 - A Box of DATs

-

My project for this part of the year is to transfer a huge cache of DATs (pictured above) that contain much that likely has already been put out there but also seems to have quite a bit that has not. So of course here at tapefiller.org the whole point isn't to present these (they will go through the usual channels) but instead, anything that wasn't listed on either the spine or in an insert, grouped in digestible bites of songs. So without any further ado, here's the first set. Nirvana - Return Of The Rat (The Wipers) .   The description can tell it to you better than I can... looks like the taper/compiler had a copy of the Eight Songs For Greg Sage and the Wipers comp. Hole - Over The Edge (The Wipers) [cut] It's probably not becoming to give any credence to any conspiracy theories about Kurt's passing but let's just say reading about the possibilities did pass the time for me one warm summer nearly 30 years ago...Amusing to see the guy still at it...though

FLLR 003 - New Order + ACR bits and bobs

Our third post in, and we have a bunch of miscellaneous, simply -lovely- Factory filler for you. New Order end their Saturday Live performance (which otherwise won't feature here, you can readily find this on YouTube) with a tease of Smokey Robinson's "My Girl" - A1 Then the band, appearing in an MTV Tokyo interview when they played Japan in February of 1987, talk about some of their quite innovative and remarkable music videos - A2 A3  - Then the video mix of 'Confusion' is featured, which you can hear here (hear hear!) Or you can watch the actual video, which Warners has generously (to make a few dollars from their catalog) shared online. What struck me when I first saw this video (on the Substance 1989 video compilation) is that you could clearly see the name of the person featured getting ready to go to the show, at about 1:25 in, as this clip coveniently reveals.  ALISE BITIC.   And incredibly enough, here she is today, now

FLLR 016 - New Order Tapes (part 10)

 New Order tapes part 10 of unknown. This tape was the source of a gigographical inaccuracy introduced in late November 2001 with the insertion of "In A Lonely Place" (known in taping circles as Little Boy ) into the setlist.   This can be documented here, via looking at the New Order gigography, referred to as "Waterrat", as that was the name that site maintainer Anthony Leal used for his domain,  the version on archive from 10/7/2001 on the old Waterrat NO gigography only lists 10 tracks, comparing it to the version on there from 12/18/2001 on Waterrat's site. shows the addition of Little Boy, which interestingly enough, was added between "Confusion" and "Age Of Consent", not where it is situated here, where it is (appropriately enough) inserted as tape filler to round out Side A.  The notes I maintain as to when a listing was updated also fall in line with the change caused by the appearance of this tape. version 1.44.4  11/26/01 -------
