ROB SEZ: I featured Daniel's splendid band Cosmic Rough Riders last year at the blog. (If you don't know about CRR, rush over HERE to check them out. If you like a lot of the bands at Repercussion, you'll thank me.) Daniel's solo work is in line with what makes CRR worth a long listen: sunny melodies, intelligent lyrics and a 1970s California sound (think Buffalo Springfield, CSNY, The Byrds) re-fashioned by way of Glasgow. MEGA THANKS to Angelo of Powerpop Criminals, where the 2008 show was first shared, and to geomck for sharing the 2009 live set.

ROB SEZ: Elliott Smith is yet another artist I've wanted to feature here for a while. Whereas most fans seems to appreciate Smith for his breathy, emotionally fragile folk-pop, I prefer to hear him backed by an electric band, playing at full tilt as we have here. In this recording, we get to hear Elliott play to a "hometown" crowd at the Bumbershoot Fest in Seattle (Smith lived in Portland for many years). The album Figure 8 had been released just a few months prior to the festival, and we get to hear half a dozen songs from it. Although this show has circulated for a good while as a DVD, I'm not aware of its availability as an audio-only document with a lossless lineage. When I acquired this very good-quality video via the JEMS team, I thought it would make a great audio bootleg — so I created one for myself. Now, you get to enjoy it too. Archive.org has LOTS more lossless Elliott Smith recordings, including some FM & soundboard shares HERE.

ROB SEZ: Making up for lost time with two Superchunk posts in 8 days. This one dials it back to the band's earlier years, when they were a younger, hungrier & very loud indie band. I prefer their later & more recent recordings (a bit more nuance & a bit less noise) — but every listener seems to have a different opinion. Special thanks to Trekkyt & Popmarter for recording, mastering & sharing the 1996 performance. Not sure who recorded & shared the 1994 live set, but I hereby thank him/her/them also. If you have more than a passing interest in this band, try both parts of the 1996 interview — a brief, fun listen.

ROB SEZ: Last week, Deacon Blue; this week: North Carolina indie home team Superchunk. Say what you want about this blog, but one thing you can't dispute: we got range. I've been threatening to feature Superchunk for quite a while, but only recently got hold of this superior audio document. So here ya go, with HUGE THANKS to taper & photographer Trekytt.
  

Out now: AF (Acoustic Foolish), feat. Peter H

  

REPERCUSSION: Until recently, I didn't think Superchunk had any direct connection to our usual heroes at the Repercussion blog. Then I found out Peter Holsapple is one of the "extra" musicians on the band's latest, AF (Acoustic Foolish). How cool is that?
