phonophilia

I made these recordings on the evening of Monday, April 22, 2002, at an event in a small warehouse space in inner southeast Portland, Oregon, featuring Colin Meloy, The Watery Graves, Tom Blood, and Curtis Knapp.

Some of these are slightly clipped (the loudest parts are a little crunchy), because I had the record level set just one notch or so too high. They still sound pretty good, though. I tried putting some compression on one of Colin's songs to see if that would help with the crunchiness. It makes it sound a little more "rock," but I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

The titles are just my guesses. If you know the actual names of any of the songs, let me know. (Also let me know if you're one of the artists and you don't feel comfortable with these being online. I believe that as long as I'm not selling these that I'm not doing anything wrong. But I respect your wishes if you'd rather not have your work displayed here.)
