Turn it up!!

These recordings are made with binaural [in ear] mics and I've found that they sound best through ear buds or headphones. Almost like being there. Some will sound OK out of speakers but they will always sound decent with 'phones. Try both, see which you like. Different recordings of the same band in different rooms will sound totally different acoustically [depends on the room]. Different bands in the same room on different days will sound different.[depends on the sound guy and the mix]

I hope you find something you like. If you do, let me know. I make no money here so strokes feed my warm inner glow.

If you do like something don't forget to go see the band when you can. That's how most of them make any money from what they do. And live is always best.

The photo in the title frame was taken by Tony Giacca, guitarist extraordinaire and features Violent Soho in the lane behind the Zoo.

If you want to contact me directly about anything on this blog please feel free to email me at exkingjohn at gmaildotcom My name is Brendan Eales. Or if you're out at anything I'm likely to be at, I'm the 50something year old tall grey haired guy standing unnervingly still in the center of the room. Come and say hello. Between bands.

What Happened Before This

I have been doing this for a couple of years now and was posting these links on my lastfm journal. Then lastfm started obfuscating megaupload addresses as spam so here i am.
But until now they hadn't changed old posted links so the other 200 odd sets before these were still listed and working.
Now they aren't.

So I started a new blog

There Is Always A Past

Alpha order at the moment. I'll sort it as time goes by
