Hook a brother up...

14:44 / 24.01.03

This is a longshot, I know, but I've gotta ask...

I'm looking for a clean 128 kpbs MP3 of "Don't Fear The Reaper," by Blue Oyster Cult for a project that I'm working on. I've dowloaded this fucker about a dozen times from various KazaaLite/Limewire/Gnutella sources, and they all seem to be copies of the same low-quality rip (obviously from an LP) WITH A BIG FUCKING SKIP in the last four seconds.

Anybody? I can't see buying Agents of Fortune at this stage of the game...

Also, if anybody's got a clean CD-quality rip of the Skids doing "Into the Valley," I'll be eternally grateful...

14:52 / 24.01.03

I might be able to get you one over the weekend. I don't have any CD versions... I have the studio version on cassette and the live version on vinyl. No big skips that I can recall, and I just got a new stylus.
Given the limitations of my home ISP, it might have to wait till Monday to mail it to you. Would that work?

14:56 / 24.01.03

Oh, and if you do buy it on album, get Some Enchanted Evening instead. It has "Godzilla" on it.

15:13 / 24.01.03

Actually, I just found a good copy of "Reaper" on one of those dodgy thousands-of-free-MP3 sites that choke your browser with thousand of popups and are, no doubt, operated by the Russian mob: just had a listen, and it's nice and clean. Pulled it down to the work machine, and I've just confirmed that it's landed in my home e-mail account (thank God for the ten-meg inbox...) Thanks anyway, brother.

Now, if anyone has that Skids track...

Will Ferrell: Can I just say one thing? I'm standing here, staring at Bruce Dickinson! And if Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell! And, Bobby, you are right - I am being selfish. But the last time I checked, we don't HAVE a whole lot of songs that feature the cowbell.

Bruce Dickinson: I gotta have more cowbell, baby!

Will Ferrell: I'll be doing myself a disservice, and everybody in this band, if I don't perform the hell out of this.

Bruce Dickinson: Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription... is more cowbell!

21:37 / 24.01.03

Right: signed, sealed, and sorted: I'm the proud owner oftwo spankin' new MP3s, thanks to the Russian mob and the mighty Flux.

Moderators: this thread may now be either deleted or repurposed as a general "I need this MP3" thread. Up to you.

22:26 / 24.01.03

Right. Henceforth, this thread is for people who are trying to get a specific song as an MP3.

Excellent.

My copy of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' The Good Son LP came with a free 7" EP, Acoustic Versions from Tender Prey (I think it came as a bonus CD on some CD copies of the album). On said 7", there was an acoustic take on The Mercy Seat. Anyone got any idea where I could download a decent copy of this from? I haven't got the energy or the 'Net connection to go downloading fifty Mercy Seat MP3s in the hope that one of them'll be this acoustic take, so I was hoping that somebody here'd be able to point me directly to it.

23:43 / 24.01.03

Mercy Seat (Acoustic): Downloading a couple now: give me 'til tomorrow to listen and vouch for quality, then to sort out slapping 'em up on some webspace for you to download: will PM you with details as applicable.

01:54 / 25.01.03

Cheers Fear, you little darling you.

19:36 / 25.01.03

Ha! right now I'm listening to two mp3s I just made of the live and studio versions of "Don't Fear the Reaper" in pretty much constant rotation.

Man, this fuckin' rocks.

22:31 / 25.01.03

You know I was going to start a thread like this...
Im looking for a quality mp3 of the closing theme to the Incredible Hulk tv show. No midi!!!!

and Jack I've got a 192 kpbs of D.F.T.R...?

Graeme McMillan

16:17 / 26.01.03

I'd love an MP3 of "Citizen's Band" by SFA, but don't have access to Audio Galaxy, Kaaza, or any shenanigans of a similiar type...

Saint Keggers

03:46 / 28.01.03

Im looking for: L'Affaire Dumoutier by The Box.
TIA

16:40 / 28.01.03

Ooh! Ooh!

I'd love an MP3 of that last Blur single as well, seeing as I'm in the wrong country to hear it.

Is it greedy to ask for two?

17:37 / 28.01.03

"Don't Bomb When You're The Bomb" is available here.

While you're there, I strongly recommend going down to the bottom and getting "Get Out Of Cities" too while you're there. That song is fantabulous.

I can't find Sonic Youth's "NYC Ghosts & Flowers" and "Nevermind (What Was It Anyway)" from the cd "NYC Ghosts & Flowers". Help?

I have tons of mp3 here at work, mainly of guitar rock bands. Ask away, you might get lucky.

Graeme McMillan

19:23 / 28.01.03

Flux, y'lovely little number, you. Cheers.

And I've got Get Out of Cities (from when Blur could do no wrong, as opposed to the rest of the time, when they could and did) already - it's rather great, isn't it? Sad to see that catchy pop mind turn into the bloated mess of 13, really...

20:22 / 28.01.03

I don't know what you're talking about. I think 13 is Blur's best LP, with Blur as a close second.

Jade, if you use Soulseek you will have no problems finding those SY songs. Actually, SY songs are fairly easy to come by on most file sharing services.

Soulseek doesn't work here at work because of some proxy problem... damn.

Recently someone found a demo by On A Friday, which was Radioheads' original name and they were posted on a few of the Radiohead fan sites as MP3s. Did anyone download these? or does anyone know where I can download them. I was curious what they sounded like.

16:34 / 06.02.03

Would anyone be able to hook me up with some Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, specifically Lamb Lies Down On Broadway? Soulseek's still down for maintenance today, and even if it wasn't I somehow doubt there's many people who would be offering that to begin with.

It doesn't have to be in mp3. We can work something out, maybe. I'm just trying to avoid spending more money, because I've already spent too much money lately.

12:17 / 14.02.03

Anyone could provide me with a link to Phillip Glass' "Funeral of Imnhotep III" from the album "Akhnaten"?
Audiogalaxy, I miss yooou...

12:19 / 14.02.03

Just so folks know, I don't need the Genesis stuff anymore.

18:52 / 14.02.03

How about the Carpenters singing "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft"?

21:09 / 14.02.03

Hey Grant, I put the Carpenters song on my blog for you.

That's one kooky song. I love it, I'd never heard it before just now.

20:54 / 19.02.03

Dude. I just found that on yer blog. You rock.

It's apparently a cover of a song by Klaatu, a Canadian "prog-pop" band that had a couple big-selling hits in the 70s because people thought they were really the re-formed Beatles selling songs under a different name. (There was some relationship with members of Badfinger, I think, but none with the actual Beatles, aside from being catchy AND experimental, and using a mellotron.)

Baz Auckland

01:17 / 20.02.03

Would anyone possibly have a copy of Nick Cave doing Disco2000? or can point me to a good mp3 source other than Kazaa? (I haven't been able to find much on there recently...)

Thankya

I'm looking for what is generally considered to be Otis Redding's definitive version of 'Try a Little Tenderness'. Anyone?

videodrome

21:52 / 20.02.03

Seconding an Otis request, anyone got "Shake!"?

And who in the name of unholy fuck also uses the "...interplanetary craft" line? It's referenced in another song I've heard enough times that it's become part of my cellular structure - which means I can't conjure the name. At all.

22:16 / 20.02.03

I've got both Otis Redding songs on my blog. Enjoy.

The Return Of Rothkoid

00:28 / 24.02.03

Hookay.

Can anyone out there hook me up with a GOOD quality recording of Morrissey's "Jack The Ripper" that isn't the live version? Apparently it was a b-side somewhere, and I'd love to have it - it's a phenomenal song.

Ta.

19:09 / 25.02.03

Whew! Finally - days later - figured out who references that Carpenter's tune, albeit obliquely.

It's Lard. (For the kids, we're talking Jello Biafra fronting Ministry, circa 1991 or so). Their track "Pinapple Face" has something about "interplanetary crack", sung to the tune and inflection of Karen's (well, Klaatu's) classic. I must have heard that song thousands of times in college, and not once since.

I know you all care, deeply.
