Back from the dead...nearly

Hi Chums,

Well, you've probably gathered that this blog is now deceased, but I've moved a lot of the articles here:

http://sculptedintosomething.blogspot.co.uk

Nothing to download (I got really bored and sulky, having to redo the site after multiple take down notices...) but critique and (hopefully) amusing stuff.

The first few posts are re-prints, but new content will be up in a day or two.

If you enjoyed BPFE, you'll dig sculpted into something.

Love,
Rushbo

Game Theory, Loud Family and Scott Miller live and rare.

 
 
After seeing a number of posts on the LF/GT Facebook page regarding live and rare stuff and finding out that some of my old links no longer work, I've put this post together which rounds up all my stuff in one place.
 
It's all yours.
 
Some of the files are missing basic information - venues, exact dates etc. Any updates will be gratefully recieved. Some of the files will only be available for 14 days, but I'm looking for a more permanent home for them.
 
I scooped these recordings up from a variety of sources, but most of the live recordings can be traced back to "Photo" Robert Toren. I'm indebted to Oxy, Don Valentine, Mick, Lunchboy and numerous subscribers to Dimeadozen for the rest. A sincere thank you to you all.  
 
All the Game Theory albums are available to download FREE from here: http://www.loudfamily.com/
Buy Loud family CDs, DVDs and Scotts' book "Music: What Happened?" here:

NEVER MIND THE DIGINOISE 3
A huge thank you to Lunchboy for digging around in the dusty recesses of an abandoned hard drive and plucking these last remaining beauties from the void. As far as I know, this completes the set of files posted by Sue Trowbridge on loudfamily.com. It's Lunchboys' link to a Filefactory file. The trick is to click 'Slow download' and uncheck the box which says something like 'use Filefactory downloader'. Thanks again Lunchboy and also to Jen Grover who also raided her archives for the MP3s.

*Footnote: The compilation gets it's name from the fact that I diligently dubbed all the MP3s onto two CDs which, over time, got corrupted, with several tracks becoming unplayable. Ain't technology great?
