TLASILA Rarities, Part 3

(No longer available as of March 19, 2006. As always, thanks for your participation, sharing the swag, etc.)

To Live and Shave in L.A. - Vedder Vedder Bedwetter (contiguous mix) (1995, rejected)

This album struck with a soundless thud in the summer of 1995. Although I hated everything about it for a very long time, I've slowly warmed to it. Now, I've at last made my peace with it.

The thaw can be attributed to my recently having stumbled over Vedder's original, contiguous (uninterrupted) mix. I cleaned up a few rough spots, remastered it, and...

01 Vedder Vedder Bedwetter (contiguous)

Backstory, scans, and other ejecta will be posted eventually. Apologies for the delay. Meanwhile, lyrics are available here.

File size: 163 MB / Ripped at 320 kbps / Total time: 71:16

Now I've seen everything... "Please, don't give me quality!!"

Reg, you've been hanging with the no-fi noise hippies wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long.

Relax, and enjoy business class.

Re VVB: I loathed it for a variety of reasons, but the original mix - which I'd exiled from memory - seems to have captured the intent of the album...

Best,

Reg, I'm working on a new version of Kumbayaa with Aube and Bruce Loose in order to forge a rapproachment with non-biz class lovers of post-yup sound manip. Aube takes the feed from Bruce's heart monitors and I whisper the lyrics (along with subliminally-posited Delta SkyMiles pricing data) over the mix... Check back here soon (ca. 2016)!

Bruno, hope you can find it in your heart to halfway dig the mess that was, is, and forever shall be VVB. Thanks for taking the time to download the annoyingly high-quality (at least in terms of bitrate) file...

Tojours,

Thanks for your generous appraisal, Roe. Re Vedder: I tend to work for several weeks (sometimes extending into months) on the lyrics, even when (as with Noon and Eternity) they're bare, largely impressionistic. These days, I prefer to say more with less. For VVB, however, I had a lot more to convey, and a nuanced approach wouldn't have worked as well.

As to dial-up, we've all been there before. (Except, of course, for kids born in the DSL/cable era.) Thanks for having the curiosity and interest to download what is arguably our most fugged-up and impenetrable alb. I and the other TLASILA droogs are happy to make this mix available to you.
