Recorded in the Before These Crowded Street sessions, MacHead was abandoned early on by the band. After 26 years, this recording finally sufficed on 6/30/24. Download: www.sendspace.com/file/y36bs5

I can’t believe after many many years, I’m finally hearing this.

I am in disbelief. I am 42yo now. I remember burning & trading CDs of .shn files in my college dorm room in the early 2000’s. My high school had our own section on the lawn: upper 600 at the Meadows. I still have the first AntsMarching.org t-shirt “Get-Railed” lol it’s cut up & stained with blood. DMB is the soundtrack to my life. The amount of girls I hooked up with at those concerts was more than I deserved. 100+ shows. Last year, I officially attended more shows with my wife than without. Oh Joy Begin came out when my daughter was born & then Dave released “Father & Son” on KZfaq right after my son was born. My wife & I are celebrating our 10th Anniversary next year at Moon Palace. “Funny the Way it Is” got me through the last months of Iraq (the only summer they toured & I missed them). I’m old enough to remember going all 3 nights in a row at Hartford. I was inside MSG when James Brown came out, & finished our Caribbean honey moon in 2015 to fly back to see the 4th of July show at SPAC where they came back for a 3rd Encore because the crowd was relentless with the USA chants. I’ve seen more teases into Halloween than I deserve & know about Heathcliff's Haiku Warriors. Boyd Tinselly hugged me, Carter handed me a stick after he saw my faded fire dancer tat on my shoulder (no regrets, it got me laid), & we met Jeff at the Westin Hotel in Virginia Beach. I’ll stop now, I know I’m not alone in this. I’m just a very loyal person & never gave up on the band after I “grew up.” I think the fact that my wife loves the band & our annual shows just as much as me means the world to me. I never thought I’d ever be able to share this with someone. Truly the soundtrack of my life! Her wedding ring says “take my hand” engraved on the inside. I’ll see u all the show :) Peace

@brandonbush129 күн бұрын
Nah. BTCS is easily their best album and one of the best albums of all time imo. And based on interviews from Lillywhite some of that magic happened in spite of, rather than because of, his preferences.
@michaeltoole801029 күн бұрын
The released album is already his preferred mix, it was the only album of theirs he had final cut on (UTTAD and portions of Crash were mixed by Tom Lord-Alge, neither to Lillywhite’s taste) He made reference to a few things he might have done differently during a podcast interview with Matt Norlander in 2018 (boosting Alanis during DDTW, toning down the Lovely Ladies in Stay) but always expresses immense satisfaction with the record and considers it some of his best work
@michaeltoole801026 күн бұрын
As for the magic happening “in spite of” Lillywhite, it’s well documented that he pushed the band to be at their best technically and sonically (he also singlehandedly saved Don’t Drink the Water when the band was ready to abandon it, which Dave now considers the best song he ever wrote)
