File Updates - The Goodbye Celebration, Seeing Means More

First two tracks, "Bleed Out My Eyes" and "Potential Mistake" were recorded when the band was under the old name A Better Way To Go, as I was told by another band member, Maciej L. I updated the id3s for those two to be more accurate now.

You can find that post here.

For the longest time, the primary version online of our beloved "Clouds Obscured To Hearts" that we had was a vinyl rip... not anymore! Melomelo found it from an mp3.com archive, thanks man <3

File Updates - Five Minute Ride

HQ lossless files & cover art have surfaced thanks to Vel, who just ended up buying the physical CD because they couldn't find it online (which is understandable, the 192kbps files we had weren't awful but not the greatest). Anyways, give them some love, and a listen!

Happy Easter as well! Links to the TGC uploads are here and here.

File Updates - The Goodbye Celebration, Plastic Glasses

I got some pretty big news. 2 bands at the top of my wishlist have been found nearly entirely.

1st off: fellow Chad based-music enjoyer, Joseph C., sent me a bunch of demos from The Goodbye Celebration that hadn't surfaced. I have organized them into the Misc. Demos post and I'll be reuploading them to YT for convenience.

One of these demos was track 4 on the highly sought after "Spin His Record... It Makes Your Heart Beat" (and it's really damn good). I'm currently in contact with an event coordinator from back in the day who might have it, so I'm waiting to hear back from them.

2nd: Bryan N., the drummer for Plastic Glasses sent me everything he could dig up. This includes both EPs ("Turn Your Eyes" and "For Those Who Lost Hope") from Legends Never Die and the entirety of "...With Love". You're a legend man!!!

In the coming days I'll be uploading all this to YT, but for now I'm going to go through Plastic Glasses first.

4) Wasted Adderall

"The qualities of this style of screamo do something much music fails to do (maybe because this is a very specific scenario)... being stuck in your room, isolated, with nothing left to do but binge random content you have lying around to stimulate your brain and distract from how lonely and detached you have become; this perpetual state of limbo is something many more people have unfortunately come to experience in these past two years. This is a short and sweet demo, each sampling used appropriately to add to this overall sentiment (bonus points for Taxi Driver & Cube... kinopilled). Now, this is just coming from me and this might mean something totally different; but this is what resonated deeply with me. I must've listened to this thing at least 20 times by now. If you've shared this sentiment, then this is a must listen. Innovative, personal, wrapped in a warm blanket."

File Updates - As Cities Burn

Added the third version of "The Nothing That Kills", as Bernie pointed out exists. I'm not sure entirely what it was on... my guess is that it's a Myspace demo since I can only find it in 92kbps, grouped with the other 2 tracks on the 2004 EP. It sounds like a later version than the one I originally included (the one shipped w/ the EP).

For these two reasons, I'm just going to label it as "Of Want And Misery: The Nothing That Kills (Demo)" as a bonus since it's a lot closer to sounding like its final version.

Post updated here.

File Updates - A Day In The Life

The lost A Day In The Life song, "Mean Machine", has been found, which I included here in the "Nine Reasons To Say Goodbye" post here.

This song was missing because the EP itself, "Paper Chromatography: The Fade from Dark To Light" from 2003 was lost to obscurity, and all the other tracks, aside from the one, reappeared on the 2004 split. This means I also got 320 versions of those tracks, therefore I've updated them as well on that post here.

Big thanks to I Have Dreams Too for finding this, Chase and I have been on the lookout for it for a long while, so to finally have it up is a relief. The thing that has hurt that most is that the song is FANTASTIC. Go listen to it on YT here.
