APOLOGIES!

It turns out the email address I had associated with db.etree had died an embarrassingly long time ago. If by some stroke of luck you tried to contact me previously and are once more browsing this page, please try the current email address!

LOOKING FOR:

King Crimson	ever since Decaln Colgan went all medieval back in August 2008, it's been impossible to find any good King Crimso-ROIOs.
MAN	I have one show and desire so much more - particularly from the pre-reunion period.
Uncirculated Frank Zappa	I have pretty much every show that's been known to circulate, but if you or a buddy taped a show back in the day, I'd be honored to trade for it!
Krautrock of any sort	Can, Neu, early Kraftwerk - you name it, famous, infamous, or completely unknown, if you have it, I want it.

ETC:

Update Status:	Way out of date.
Medium:	I prefer to trade in .FLAC - one DVD takes about the same time to burn as one CD, and contains about ten times the amount of music. I can do CD-R in certain situations, but be warned that it may take me quite some time.
Media:	I'm not too picky, as long as it works.
Etc:	This list is abhorrantly out of date, but possibly serves as a reasonable clue as to the sort of bands I have shows for - if there's something you're looking for (particularly Zappa) shoot me a line and I'll be happy to dig through the archives for you.

10/31/77	Palladium	New York	NY	A	FLAC	3	AUD	A-	B/B- for first two songs - soudn quality is A-, but it sounds like the master tape got eaten or was stored improperly, as the volume fluctuates throughout the set. A shame, as this is an otherwise-killer-sounding recording.

09/19/78	Veteran's Memorial Stadium	Columbus	OH		FLAC	2	AUD	B	Parts of this recording suffers a lot from glitches, due to a loose mic connection or something. Other than that, this is a decent audience recording, by Mike "BlkNapkins" who made a very brief appearance on the trading scene in 1998. Sadly, Pound For A Brown is missing, and the second monster tune, Little House, is cut. On the other hand, it has some of the rarer fall '78 songs.

09/29/78	Uptown Theater	Chicago	IL		FLAC	1	AUD		Early show - this is the B+ master that's missing much of Pound for a Brown. Tracking on this is an absolute fucking inept mess.
