This is the beginning of Defiance, Ohio starting to play at the Dry River Radical Resource Center.
Also of note is that I used EQ and Compression in Soundtrack Pro to make this sounds a lot better.

The final encore song at a show at Plush in Tucson, AZ. this was a really fun show. lots of energy on stage.

This is from a show at Dry River in Tucson, january 10, 2007.

live at Club Congress january 10, 2007

This rendition of the song features Salvador Duran on guest vocals and the Electric Apes, a horn group from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The interesting thing here is that they layer on some lyrics from a Manu Chao song in the middle.

An amazing show happened in north Portland. Over 30 bands played - for one minute each. Tons of people showed up, all smashed into a small, hot basement. I recorded the first 27 bands, and some other sounds. I found that I got pretty good recordings of some bands from outside, crouching down by the one window to the basement that could be opened. In this way I could avoid the moshing. Moshing with a minidisc recorder is not a good idea.

This was from a show that Andrew Jackson Jihad played January 4 at Dry River Community Center in Tucson, Arizona.

Recorded with binaural microphones and an Edirol r-9 digital recorder.

A fragment of the song, which has been in my head a lot lately. Note that it's to the music of "House of the Rising Sun"...

Recorded with my new digital recorder, the edirol r-09. performed on my beat to shit acoustic Hohner guitar, given to me by a friend last summer.
