Shonen Knife, in front of the gathered Amoeba horde

I only wish I read Amoeba Records' own Five Reasons To Go To See Shonen Knife at Amoeba.  Couldn't have said it better myself, and wished I could have heeded their advice.  Sundays don't tend to be gig days 'round my parts, sadly.

But my friend tomzero made it, and so did another taper by the fabulous handle of toolshirt.

So, you have a multitude of download choices, since I like to think I've gotten adept at doing multisource blends, aka matrix mixes.  I'm particularly proud of this one, actually...I really feel that if done right, they make the blended recording greater than the sum of its parts.

Knife or spiel? (source: amoeba.com)

(Just so I don't have to hear it from the person who just doesn't want to deal with converting FLA-what's-it? to our beloved Fraunhofer's abortion of an algorithm.  I don't want to hear about either, it's a topic that's been done to death, so I've punted and am just using that format.)

The component versions are available as well, for those who can send me a REQUEST.
