An archive of TAB shows appears at Hungercity!


While it's common knowledge that The Avett Brothers have one of the most curious taping policies that still doesn't stop dedicated music archivist from committing their shows to "tape." And even though TAB shows are a rare find in the trading world, when they do show up they show up in troves. Over 20 such shows just popped up at Hungercity.org. Fire up your bittorrent client and watch your ratio.

Yet another great reason to surf with Firefox!


Ever visit a webpage to watch a band or listen to a song and wish you could figure out a way to save the file you're enjoying? Well, fear not Firefox users because now there is a simple way to pull off just such a feat. Fast Video Download is an add-on for Firefox which will allow you to save embedded media files which otherwise would require a lot of net savvy. It takes a little getting used to to figure it out, but once you get it nothing is off limits.

Woodsong's purging their archives?!


Woodsong's Old Time Radio Hour has been hosting great band's and broadcasting live shows for years. They also have one of the largest archives of live shows around, but lately some of those shows have been disappearing from their archives. Maybe their trying to conserve server space, but whatever the reason it might be prudent to journey over that way and save whatever you want to keep.


NPR's website is a wonderful thing for music fans. They often stream albums the week before release and have lots of other goodies.
iTunes is a good place to find some live goodies and a bit of it's even FREE!
The Live Music Preservation Project "was created out the necessity to document and preserve circulating sources, lineage, and transfers of live performances caught on tape or video." Word! Use this site to discover live shows that are easily found using any of the normal BT sites.
If you see something you like at the Live Music Preservation Project, there's a good chance you'll find the actual recording here. They have a very strict policy about the artist they allow so if the band you're looking for has a sketchy taping policy you're probably not going to find them here. However there is plenty of things to make up for it.
