Dustin Paseuyr, be careful not to misspell!

To download the entire set (MP3 format), go here.

If you want this in lossless, you'll have to brave the Incubation tracker.  This requires registration, but should otherwise hopefully be straightforward.

Videos that SR shot are linked above.  I've synchronized them to the outboard audio.

SR passed me on his footage late last year, but I was very lax in getting this out.  The sample-and-hold "satirical improvisations" are hilarious, apparently Beach Fossils have discovered that encores are a farce, something David Gedge could have told them ages ago... :-)

Anyway, best Thanksgiving wishes to you and yours!  A bonus show below the break.

The lossless version is on my tracker.

One thing I didn't notice is that the bassist (still plays a tease to Tool's "Schism" right before the band start playing...

I have to admit that with guitarist Cole's Dive project (later to be renamed DIIV since a Belgian group already had dibs on that name) surfacing [the pun!], I didn't pay as much attention to this as much as I should have.  Pardon me, as I tacked on an "S" on the filename for this song, since there's also a BF song by the name of "Sometimes".  Confusing.

I know "Shallow" and "Birthday" eventually made it to their 2013 release Clash The Truth, and the Tommy Gardner-penned "Lessons" ended up on the Shallow 7" b-side, but not sure what happened to the track "I Fall".  Maybe somebody chancing on this who knows something more than I do can fill me in.

This blog is pretty much stuck in early/mid 2012, since I'm pretty far behind in putting stuff up.  I'm pretty much demand-driven, so if there's anything you want to see, ask and I'll see what I can do.
