Everything will be hosted there until until Judgment Day, pending any bandwidth overages or extenuating circumstances like requests for removal. Downloads of other bands can be found here, updated regularly.Site RSS Feed HOWTO Convert Files Disclaimer: Everything hosted at Owl and Bear is presumed to be free and legal. All material has been obtained from sites (like Dime-a-Dozen) that have a strict policy that prohibits the trading of illegal recordings. Bottom line: if it's not permitted at Dime-a-Dozen, you won't find it on Owl and Bear. Notes: Wilco has requested that the charity Living Room Concerts only be shared among event attendees; these recordings are therefore not available for download at Owl and Bear.

owl Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 finally after me asking forever someone makes a thread like this. thank you for doing it. It takes a while to download, gather, and upload this stuff- and all for the sole purpose of putting it all in one place. I also have other things going on, etc., etc., such as unruly cats. I haven't even listened to a single one of these. Sometimes, things take time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 no no no, that wasn't a bash at you. i promise. i've just been asking for a while for someone to make a main thread for the demos to be posted and for song requests. To do a single song in Mp3 or FLAC takes minutes - to put up many songs takes hours. That is why everyone who is able should really learn to use BitTorrent. I think it's cool to share - but I think if a person is going to constantly ask for stuff they should learn BitTorrent or build up a collection and do blanks & postage - at some point.

Analogman Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Let's talk about that thing you mentioned - sometime. Maybe we could get the dudes who run this place to ban whole shows or whatever being put up in Mp3 - that in a non-private manner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Word. I have not had any free time lately, due to a horribly sick cat and a lot of work at work, but I will try to make time this week to talk about the FTP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 read through this thread I would like the admins to share their views about posting whole shows/boots in Mp3 format on Via Chicago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
disco-aussie-wilco Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Oh boy oh boy ... thanks for this! I can see me d/ling a lot of stuff here in the future! Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted February 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Why? Ask Gershon too. A couple of years ago(?) that taper Big Red Fat Mike(?) threw up on himself after Gershon blatantly put up some MP3 rips of one of his precious shows. It was kind of funny, but also supremely annoying. I was thinking, though- now that people can share more and more music via the Internet, and have a reduced need for CDs w/ iPods, etc., filetypes will become increasingly more obvious, because you'll be downloading MP3s or FLACs, and you'll know it, and they'll go onto the iPod or whatever, not the CD. I see the MP3 argument cooling down in a while. At this point, people just bitch because it's something that they can still whine about. Also- one reason that I use FLACs on my site is because I only listen to about 5% of what I post, and am therefore too lazy to convert them for downloads. The other is because I like to give people a choice from the get-go. You can always download the FLACs and convert to MP3 if you want, but you can't really upgrade to FLAC from MP3, know what I mean?

Calexico Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'd like to thank you guys for putting this stuff up. I know how time consuming it is making sure it is all good to go before uploading. Beer and hot dogs for you both! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
