"Providence Redux" (28 MB Quicktime)
DATE POSTED: July 20, 2005 COMMENTS: This is a "compiliation clip" that includes sonic youth, Afri rampo, and lightning bolt(sort of). Wooden Wand was also on the bill but the camera man didn't get there in time. It was so fucking hot in flywheel that the lens would not unfog during lightning bolt's set. great sets by all. The "Providence redux" bit was an allusion to the old SY tune that nobody got. | 3,716 DOWNLOADS

Decaer Pinga (12 MB Quicktime)
DATE POSTED: March 28, 2005 COMMENTS: "Thanks to the autonomous battleship collective for scene provision at the bookmill on Saturday - the red tones and wood smell were the perfect scotch after shrooms come down for those still shriveled from no fun(I'm told.) And the sound evolved accordingly: Paul's tones rang true like a coal miner on opium offering the perfect seque into a truly mystical College Girls Gone Wild route91 raga. Decaer Pinga followed with a strong and lungful ass stew." | 2,668 DOWNLOADS

DATE POSTED: March 9, 2005 COMMENTS: This is from "RON AID" or the Wilder Cats Benefit at Hampshire put together by Shaw and company to help out a bunch of folks up in Brattleboro that had their apartment burnt to the ground. Ron barely made it out himself and lost all of his stuff including hours and hours of video footage. Elisa shows her soft side. |

DATE POSTED: March 28, 2005 COMMENTS: No offense to the band because this was an amazing set but there is some speculation that traffic on this clip can be partially attributed to the band name. But like I said, an inspired set in a great room. | 2,062 DOWNLOADS

Safe to say that not *everyone* dug the markers as much as we did that night. You'll need to watch the documentary to see the backstage footage of Dino's manager giving Elisa "tips". Classic. |
