A Year of Shows at Barclay

Which brings our hero to the present impasse...

2010-03-15T06:28:00.000-07:00

The laptop, that glorious engine of Audio Capture, may be transforming into a paper weight. If repair is not an option, what should I replace it with? Another Dell? A MACBOOK? Terrible choices ahead...

In other news, the year of shows might transform into the eternity of shows. More on that later.

March 14th: Failed due to work

2010-03-15T04:38:00.000-07:00

The deadly combination of daylight savings time and an early start at work this morning prevented me from getting out last night. Also, half of the gear was tied up creating a new lotus fucker 7". I would have been forced to use the video camera, which just isn't the same. Anyhow, March 6th video is up now (if entirely unlabeled) and I'll have the audio up this week. The SFH show is also over due and on the way up.

February 18, 2010: Diablero 7" Release Show!

2010-02-19T05:12:00.000-08:00

Rukut: I'd describe them as a husband/wife protogrind team. While I'm not entirely sure that the two members are married (or even romantically involved/heterosexual) I need to cling to the dream that IT COULD HAPPEN TO ME.
Human Smoke: I'll let everyone take a wild swing at the genre "HUMAN SMOKE" fit neatly into. (Spoiler: it's nuevo stoner rock)
Count Von Count: Ex IHAY, quite good. Their singer wanted to meet someone (ANYONE) from Diablero. I hope his tiny wish was granted.
Diablero: Always a winner! With their 7" finally liberated from it's prison of a thousand years (or a Czech pressing plant) THEY ARE UNSTOPPABLE.

James Leitch performs: Francisco Tarrega - Capricho Arabe

For the guitar nerds. The rest of you savages can sit back and absorb a bit of musical sophistication.

I'm in Colorado! I'll be back to Baltimore next week to dutifully continue my charge of recording shows.

This isn't a Barclay Show. Just an awesome night with IHAY and pizza.

It's Christmas, but most of us are godless heathens.

2009-12-25T08:03:00.000-08:00

So, enjoy this rare rip of HERBERT WEST: RE-ANIMATOR as read by none other than Jeffery Combs! It's quite the gem. Just try not to think that it's being read by Weyoun.

Note: MediaFire is fucking off at the moment.

DoubleNote: Mediafire is no longer fucking off. Download away!

Dec 19th, THE SHOW THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

2009-12-22T16:17:00.001-08:00

This was the DC show:

New shows are up, a request for gear.

2009-12-13T13:11:00.000-08:00

The December 8th show is up for download, go nuts.

I need three DI boxes. If you have three DI boxes that you'd like to sell/donate to me, that would be fantastic. Piping everything out of the PA, while a novel solution, if less than ideal.

Thanks!

Raein – People care about them. Apparently they are Italian.
Army of Kashyyyk – I've helped record most of this bands catalog, so I guess it's fitting that I record the last show.
1994! – The year that the Downward Spiral was released.
Pala – I hear their drummer is a dick. And his ever-growing collection of expensive snare drums isn't impressing anyone. AND HE HAS COOTIES.
Dawn Treader – I might be the only person in Baltimore that hasn't been in this band.

Keith, I swear to the entire pantheon of the Old Ones, if you bring up the fact that this show is happening one more time I will throw up in your shoes.

November 11th is up for download! Check it out on the mediafire page: http://www.mediafire.com/barclayyear

A ton of new features have been added to mediafire, such as bulk downloading. Give them a try!

Sometimes I do a thing.

2009-11-19T06:02:00.000-08:00

Screening shirts: richly satisfying and tons of fun!

November 11th is coming along. I'll try to get it out this weekend!

UPDATE: Sometimes I do a thing again. Still awesome.

You can pick up one of these beautiful, baby-blue Lotus Fucker shirts at their record release show!

Also: That strapping lad in the pictures is NOT me. I, unfortunately, decided to adopt the look of the squares many years ago. It's far too late in life for me to don proper punk attire and bring my fashion in line with my politics.

This show was a "Big Deal". Lo, in a bygone era, Nux Vomica, having grown weary in the world of men boarded a boat on and sailed from the Grey Havens to the undying lands of the west.

Anyhow, They came back. Apparently, Portland is about being a dirty yuppie and eating Vegan chicken. So that settles that.

If anyone remembers the order of the bands, post that shit in the comments.

Also, full disclosure: Dysphoria and AYOSAB are "involved" with each other. It's okay though, because even if we can't get married we love each other very much.

Bonus: for the girl who started the sing-a-long: I love you, just the way you are.

Mystery Videos!

2009-11-01T09:10:00.000-08:00

Check these out. (I am so fucking productive today)

MYSTERY SOLVED! Thanks to Katelyn Sheppard, of Baltimore MD for writing in on the facebook to tell us that this video is of "edhoculi from pittsburgh. It's from the nux vomica show. I'm pretty sure they played first. There are a couple ex-outclassed members in the band"

She has won the SUPER HELPER award.

YOU CAN ALSO BE A SUPER HELPER! Just remember the the order of the bands and throw them into the comments!

zombifying venom, mind as prison, bleeding hollow, and ceasefire. Can you figure out who is who, etc? post it in the comments!
.....

If anyone can fill in the blanks, that would be awesome. Anyhow, enjoy. Next up: one show from September and two from August.

BEHOLD, THE RETURN OF REGULAR POSTING. ETA for Oct 16th: When I get home from the gym. Fitness ftw.

HOLY SHIT, I'M NOT DEAD.

2009-10-29T04:11:00.000-07:00

And not only an I not dead, I have a painful backlog of shows to put up! They've all been recorded, so don't get your patch-panties in a bind.

Most of the delay has been due to my own laziness, but at least some of it can be attributed to my hatred of the old hardware I was using to record. The M-Audio Delta 1010 is a serviceable interface, but it is a cruel and unusual beast to contend with. It has a shitty onboard time clock, it doesn't scale well at all, it is generally a mother fucker and a joy vampire. Some crazy Unix Punk from THE UNITED KINGDOM figured out how to force it to function, but I have grown tired of this horrible machine giving me lip.

And so, largely technologically illiterate readers, MEET YOUR NEW MOM/MY TROPHY WIFE:

AND YOUR AWKWARDLY HOT NEW STEP SISTER:

Old and busted mom has been thrown out, and subsequently been forced to move in with Caestles and Pala. May the gods keeps and protect them.

Yes, I am short sighted enough about my own finances that I can dump large sums of money into a project I'm not getting paid to do. You're welcome.

Anyhow, I have put the Death Mold set from last week onto MediaFire. The link is coming. And yes, you monsters, all of the past sets will be up. Remember, you can bribe me. Fuck, you can come to my house and help me.

Yours,
Nick

August 10th and 28th

2009-09-12T07:05:00.000-07:00

Good morning! Just a quick note on the August 10th and 28th shows: They're not up quite yet. It takes a few hours to polish each recording to an acceptable shine, hours which are hard to find during the week and impossible to find during a busy weekend. I've set aside my Sat. afternoon to mix these shows, so keep an eye out for both shows in their entierity tonight. If i miss the deadline, feel free to continue raging in the comments.
