This made it onto my wishlist from somewhere- know nothing about them, but wherever I read about this album made me want to give it a shot.

A couple of really cool bootleg DVD's entertained me for a while last week. First up was A-Ha, remember them? Alive and kicking in Norway, big time. A corp. sponsored event that drew 100,000 screaming (and aging) fans. The standards were excellent and a couple of the newer tracks were just as good, albeit a lot more heavy on guitar. Video was a touch grainy but the audio was exceptional.

Found an Arcade Fire DVD torrent online and grabbed that too. Totally cool and I was completely immersed in the Fire for over an hour. Not the most exciting band to watch until you start paying attention to what's going on. They change instruments all the time which is fasinating to me. Turn your head for a moment and all of a sudden the keyboardist chick is on drums. Wacky fun.

The main attraction was a dvd of a 2004 Pixies show that was broadcast on INHD2 this year. I don't get that channel but the show was up for grabs on Dimeadozen (formerly EZtorrent). Since my DVDP does a good job of upconverting to to 720p it still looked brilliant. Not 1080 of course but, what are you gonna do? Still, it had an incredible 5.1 DD soundtrack. Phenomonal show and for once Monkey Gone To Heaven wasn't buried at the bottom of the setlist.

Also been breaking out some Holiday music. There's a TSO bootleg from Hershey, Penn that I've enjoyed quite a bit. Ditto for a show from Chicago. Also spent some time with some Holiday comps that are heavy on the synthpop flavoring. Been a long while, I've enjoyed getting reacquainted with some old friends.
