Rip This Joint Master comparison Password:RTJ Here´s the Rip This Joint comparison. Rip This Joint isn’t the best track to compare but it is what it is The Achilles heel of the experiment is that in order to export it into a videofile I had to transcode the FLAC back to AAC 320kbps audio, so it is lossy in the end. But as a comparison it works nicely, because all the different files are

Quotepmk251 Stolen from a van in 1972, it turned up in someone's attic. Huh! Have the guitars from Villa Nellcote ever turned up? It was possible to follow the quest to find that bass on Instagram and I must say it was a lot of fun (for a nerd). I´ll leave it to Mathijs to answer about the guitars from Nellcote - he is the lead detective on the case.

Downloaded the different versions of RTJ that Ironbelly provided from the different EXILE masterings (above) and cut them together on a timeline as a type of research/comparison. As they are official tracks, mail me if interested. It just for fun. Thanks, Ironbelly!

Go to St Marks Place. There is the bar from the video on the corner: 132 First Ave. Its cozy. Theres a Tattoo You cover framed on the wall by the bar. The Waiting on a Friend staircase is 30 meters around the corner, at St Marks Place no 95-98 I believe. Its at the Physical Graffitti Led Zeppelin house. You´ll see it right away.

End of an Era. Geez how fun it was in Groningen this weekend. Yet, it was also a strangely melancholic thing to walk through the Unzipped exhibition for the last time. I kept thinking, «Will I be able to see all these great things presented together like this, ever again?» Having been in London with DandelionPowderman during the opening week in 2016 and now the closing in Groningen six year

Hey bustabutton, The locals can probably fill you in on the details regarding places to eat and drink. Theres a festival in Groningen this week and plenty of cool bands everywhere. Expect a bit less availability in terms of hotel rooms. On another note, given that the exhibition is closing this weekend, THREE of the IORR-authors will be present at the Unzipped on Thursday afternoon (January 1

I am still positive it will happen. In my mind, the RACKET gig is the ending of the documentary, the culmination of all the great things it will contain; some writing (?), the recording, the excitement of the London release, a bit of rehearsal (?) and the crowd going wild at the Racket gig. Sure, it would have been logical to release it together with the live CD but the album hit a second

QuoteNellcote1971 Exactly this. It's fascinating. I never got it when people called Exile "murky" (still don't) because to my ears it sounded so great. The drums alone...

QuoteProfessorWolf so sad (if true) how did no one notice this for eight months? You post an excellent question, Professor Wolf. The answer is quite simple, in my opinion.

It shows the ‘Nellcote Jungle’ in great detail. 1. The gate 2. The staff house / Garage - where Keith parked (some of) his cars. This is the place drugs were found during the raid in December 1971. 3. The

It has probably been mentioned, but the "Happy" lyric is kind of reminiscent of "I Get a Kick out of You". And if you read that Cole Porter lyric, you can sort of see where Keith is headed with his, even though "Happy" is a piece of art on its own and open to individual interpretation.
