I taped this group at the very same location last year. If anything, I found them even more enjoyable the second time around! One of the finest UK indie-funk groups to ever grace our shores. They covered Pylon's "M Train", in memory of Randy Bewley their guitarist who passed away last year. I was lucky to have saw them (briefly) at PTP last year and at their penultimate gig at the Independent in SF a couple of days after.

And I was lucky to see the Medium Medium guys play here...unlike the previous year Andy Ryder was all in black instead of his typical all-white garb. Amazingly, since their reformation, they have *only* played Stateside...and not often, only a half-dozen or so times at most.

If I must say so, this is a superb recording, one of the best I've ever done. Spent quite a bit on time in "post", it's worth it.

Included some good pictures from my friend Mark and some not-so-good iPhone blurrage from myself.  As well as a pic by Ned Raggett.

And a very brief video clip not seen previously.  It's only one second long. :-)

My own recording was merely the second best for this particular show, but here it is, for your consideration.  (http://www.bestii.com/sr/gigs) has the other recording, in case you don't believe me...'1938' actually starts out with mine since the other recording only starts near the end of that song)

Thom, Ethan, drummer Alan (who was struggling with the flu that weekend), and new  bassist/guitarist Kerry put on one heck of a show for the PTP festival, and pretty much silenced any would-be naysayers with the best show out of the 7 or so I've seen them put on in the past couple of years.

I put up some footage, shot with my friend's camera here, also responsible for the single photo, no blurry iPhone pix from me this time.  This features the intro to Siam, Mobilization, and most of Next To Nothing, which you can watch here:


The oil drum took one helluva beating.

lammah

I have a plethora of different formulations for this one.

DIME version (which was mine)

SH recording - probably less abridged than DIME
MB recording - Sony ECM-900F plugged into M-Audio Microtrack II
"Matrix" mix - probably the best listen, a blend of the SH and MB recordings

DVD version (featuring the video linked above)

A couple pics [1] [2] [3] from Ned Raggett, which I'm not allowed to link inline.

And a video of "1938" from Trevor Bassen




Bonus vid...of David Yow of Jesus Lizard walking up Sunset Blvd hand-in-hand-in-hand with two unidentified lady friends(!)
