I have decided to re-enter the "blogosphere" after an abortive attempt at a "general interest" blog last year. I've decided that the blogs I like have something to do with music, and live music in particular. Most of my favorite things to listen to are bootleg live shows. Unfortunately, the audio quality on bootlegs is generally spotty, especially if an audience mike is picking up every stray "woooooooo" and rambly conversation from the peanut gallery.
This weekend, listening to our first entry, I was struck by an interesting thought: many of my most cherished bootlegs were in-studio performances broadcast over the radio. The performances make up in polish what they lack in "spontaneity" and the recording quality is usually a fine mix of a multi-track recording that was meant for stereo home listening - not mixed for a PA system like most soundboard recordings.
I felt it was a good idea to share the music and some of my thoughts on the performers for each week and each particular performance.
So, I present Tesla Coils. The energy of live performances with the sound quality of studio recordings. Look for about one a week. Suggestions are more than welcome.
