Yeah well I don't, because by the time I joined you guys had stopped it. Anyone want to start it up again for people who have recently just joined? Or put boots in the respository?
I believe that was Jason, and I'd get tired of it too.
Or maybe it was Bob. I forget.
LET'S GET THIS BITCH STARTED
anyone?
There aren't really any new bootlegs out? Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like almost every Ozma bootleg in existence was recorded by Bob, so until Ozma comes back to the Bay Area, there won't be a whole lot of new boots.
Ozma should just do the Pearl Jam thing and record every one of their shows. Except give them out for free instead of selling them. Cuz Pearl Jam sucks. And Ozma doesn't.
bootleg of the month wasn't about new bootlegs.

Yeah it was and you know it.
But seriously, are most of the boots on the file repository? I haven't been on there in a while so I don't know, but that seems like a logical place to put many of the existing boots.

no... only just a few songs scattered about.
we need to start this bitch up, yeah?
and by "we," i mean not jason and/or bob511...
I got lazy. I took over for Amish originally because he was being slow at it, but then I pulled a "fuck this shit" after I think two months. And it wasn't really about new bootlegs, because it was done durring a time when Ozma was broken up, if I recall. At the very least, it was before new bootlegs started surfacing. I'm a lazy, lazy man.
i wonder, is there an ozma FTP? cuz im dying to look for all the old bootleg that bob recorded. im sure they're darn good cuz so far, bob never let us down
No FTP as that requires bandwidth and storage space that our server probably can't handle at this time. I am not going to run it on my personal machine anymore since I'm paying for electricity now and not my University. I've tried and tried again to get a DC++ server going, and it never takes off.
I'm open to ideas now.

:( for some weeks, it worked well. but then...
Yeah even if we don't have any new boots, we should pass around some old ones. Ones from say, the "classic" period. I have three post reunion boots but I am sure most you have them either way.
what was the average quality of the boots? Soundboard at least? sorry, picky about the boots i DL. most of the ozma ones i've gotten were C+ at best
Soundboard "at least"? Isn't that about the ceiling for bootleg quality?

You most certainly must be referring to the ones I recorded with my cell phone in my "pocket".
I have most of the shows on my computer, but am missing a few, that are known of.
Oh and is the file repository still hella jumbled up, and random file names and whatnot? Wasn't there like some trial version of a folder-based format?
no, soundboard is not the ceiling. Theres ear piece mixes to, and ear+audience mixes of shows ive heard.

um, i'm not sure you're right. "quality" is kind of subjective, I know, but soundboard would give you the cleanest, purest signal of the band's performance, and assuming that the record level was good (no peaking, not too quiet) it would theoretically be the best recording you could get. This assumes things like that all the amps and the drums are mic-ed, but at a show as big as Ozma shows tend to be, I'd assume that to be a given. A recording from the audience captures the sound coming out of the PA, which is exactly what the soundboard would give you, except the quality is bottlenecked by the speakers and the room acoustics, which can drag a signal down pretty far. This is of course not to mention the fact that your recording can very easily be dominated by out of key audience singalongs and obnoxious conversation about people we've never met. There are advantages to recording with mics from the audience, like the fact that the desirable crowd noise (a little is desirable now and again, for a good feel) is easier to capture, and the fact that the open air sounds coming from the stage in addition to the PA can often times provide a better mix. I do think though, that such an approach is far less consistant, and as such, I've heard much fewer high quality audience recorded bootlegs than I have heard high quality soundboard bootlegs. An ideal solution, in my opinion, would be to record at least two tracks (one mic-ed in the audience, one from the board) and mix them appropriately in post. If you offered me a choice between the two though, I'd probably plug my recorder into the board any day.
recording from the audience is hard, but Bob does a wonderful job of it with his set up. In my opinion, his bootlegs are on par with almost any unofficial bootlegs I've heard.

hey since you have all the existing bootlegs? whay not share em in the repository im sure everyone here in this board will be greatful. i still think, constant bootleg and file sharing in this forum is the reason why its still alive when the band broke up.
I have Boots from 3/12/06, 5/5/06, and 7/7/06. I'll "try" to add them when I get home, hopefully they won't take to long. I am at school right now. And yes, I do feel like a rebel.
PS: Can't wait till we can get some older boots on there!
yea id be very interested in hearing a DDD era soundboard, or A+ audience recording

Don't you have the DDD support show from the repository?
Simply my speculation, but I'd guess that the band is of the size and influence such that, for most of the shows they play, they are successful enough to play fairly established (indie) venues, and yet not quite of the level that would allow them to easily exert a whole lot of influence over the operation of said venues, in the manner I imagine a larger indie band might. If either were not so, I'd guess you'd see soundboard recordings more common, either from the informal nature of very small venues, or of greater implicit control provided larger bands.
Yes i have the DDD show, but i want another. and then another.
Hopefully if this thread takes off you will get your wish :).

That would be my speculation as well. Honestly though, I can't see complaining about the quality of your bootlegs. They are well recorded for the most part. I don't bother rating by letter. Either it sounds good enough to listen to or it sounds like shit. You tend to be towards the good end of that spectrum.
Since its pretty slow in between studio updates, anyone have to heart to post an old bootleg? I have 3-4 post-reunion boots, but I am pretty sure everyone has them thus not making them an object of interest.
i lost 14 of the 16 "old" bootlegs that I had when my craptop died. (fuck you HP).
so u have 2 boots. either of them soundboard?
Tom I don't care about the quality, I don't want to be greedy, so if your willing to share I'd be more than grateful.
yes, please share them.
what era are they?
umm...shit...'01-03 or so, i'll have to go on my parent's old computer to find them, hopefully they haven't been lost.
i think they were both Portable Audio, not soundboard quality.
Aren't a lot of these boots on the file repository?
No we only got digivent on the repository. :'(
So please, whoever wants to contribute, please do so.
Quotei think they were both Portable Audio, not soundboard quality.
thats fine. i wasnt trying to insinuate i would ONLY take soundboard, just hoping it was sb quality :). the boots of bands i have, and i have mannnnnnnyyyyyyyyy ranging from Pumpkins-U2, range anywere from PISS poor nosebleed quality <see Weezers' boot - American Holiday> to amazinggggggggglllllllyyyyyyyyy done s.b. / ear piece boots.
the only boots i have to offer is
1 feb. 22 2001 houston
2 dec 03 2005 hollywood
3 march 12 2005 hollywood
4 may 5 2006 san fan
does everyone have these also?
i don't have the first one. please share? :)
Yes please, I only have your 2-4, plus digivent. I suck.
yes i have digivent also
ok sorry i guess i dont know how to do it, i put "upload to new folder" and titled it, then i uploaded 2 songs, and it wont show me the new folder. i guess i can send them to someone who knows what there doing.
its an 8 song set opening for Weezer. quality is decent.
edit*
mkay update - have the folder in the repo. but it wont let me upload to it, it says its uploading then just says folder is empty! after its "uploaded"
I think that folder version no longer works so either:
A) Use a distinguishable naming system like "Houston_2001_#_Name" and post them into the regular repository.
or
B) Use something like yousendit/rapidshare and post the link.
the names i use are Feb 22 2001 - 01- ozma - domino.
ill try yousendit but i dont know hwo to get to the non-folder based repo. i have the folder one bookmarked, not the other
The regular version is: http://ozma.antiuser.org (http://ozma.antiuser.org)
i had not been on this site in awhile, I don't have the link to the folder version anymore.. can i bother someone for a link?
http://www.adrianosanti.com/ozma.tmp/ (http://www.adrianosanti.com/ozma.tmp/)
But honestly sometimesrock, I don't think its worth it because I think it doesn't work anymore. Plus its outdated. I am pretty sure the folders version was just a demo of what an organized version could be like. I think thats why you can't upload anything to it.
ok now its working. got the first 2 tracks up under "feb 22 2001" , checks em out. its only 8 songs so ill get the rest up soon.
ive started the ball, now someone must continue.
You're Samuel, I've been waiting for this to get started.
EDIT: Oh man, that early version of Eponine is killer.
ok 4,5,6 are up. your welcome! ;D
ill post 7,8 later on tonite if everyone behaves and gives me karma :o
enjoy Ozmanauts, enjoyeth!
I already gave you a +1 2:00am this morning when I was downloading tracks 1-3. So once this 24 hours is up I'll give you more.
alright CT, and anyone else whos DL'ing the show, its up! all 8 songs are up.
looks like there aint gonna be a "next" show uploaded. im sure more ppl on this board have a ton of live stuff that we dont have, but since its taboo to mention Ozma unless there touring/or the album is out, its just us in here. well hope you liked it. got nothin left to upload.
Thanks again, your the man. I keep looking to see if I have anything thats not already uploaded and people would want, but I think everyone has everything I have.
Hey Rock Candy/WhoYouCallinWeez, I just realized I have 7/7/06 from the Rentals tour. You want it?
yea sure id love it. thanks.
I would enjoy that as well.

i think he should change his name back to whoyoucallinweez
10 song setlist:
Natalie Portman
Spending Time
New Song (Kid Icarus)
Korobeiniki
Eponine
Utsukushii Shibuya
Domino Effect
Wake Up
Battlescars
Rocks
Pretty good quality, though not as nice as your 2001 Houston boot, Rock Candy. You may want to use a program like Audacity to increase the volume, or if you use iTunes, use the built-in sound enhancer. I am about halfway done uploading, I'll update this post when I am done. Its all up, enjoy!
Filenames are as such: 7.7.06_Los Angeles - 01 - Natalie Portman
Thanks CT-700!

I disagree wholeheartedly, though not to put any pressure on Rock Candy to keep it.
Anytime, hope you enjoy it.
QuoteI disagree wholeheartedly, though not to put any pressure on Rock Candy to keep it.
haha, nah dont want a weezer name, i only used that name cuz i used it on the WIDF, and i wanted to see if any WIDF'ers would notice me and say hi or something, since WIDF just abruptly shut down, good ridance btw. plus Rock Candy is such a great power pop name. ;D
As in Brititsh rock music?
powerpop as in weezer, ozma, rentals, etc if there is any etc
there has previously been a powerpop discussion. yes there is an etc.
Oh no, I know what Powerpop. I just meant Candy Rock as in British rock because apparently they use the word "Candy" in the UK to describe it. Or so the evil Wikipedia says...
Quotethere has previously been a powerpop discussion. yes there is an etc.
yes, i started said thread. "curiosity" is the name of it. i mean etc in a present day still-functioning band type thing. that dog is the only one i didnt mention, and thats cuz i dont like them.
and i got the name "rock candy" from the name of a blue album-era bootleg.
Yeah I am familar with that boot. Over Christmas I went into this giant Blue Album phase, probably because I was working on a Weezer project for school, but anyway I ended up downloading like every said era boot available from WeezerNation.
yea ill say this about the weez boots i have. my favorite, not in terms of sound but in terms of setlist is Nov 16-96, the ENTIRE pinkerton album is performed, as is YGYLTMS! woohoo! in addition to 7 blue songs. WOW :o
thanks for the boot! love it! and i think the quality is far superior to the Houston 2001 show i uploaded.
whos next? whos gonna do the next boot? who who
do you two have a bigger passion for weezer or ozma? me, ozma.
It depends, I go back and forth. They are my top 2 favorites.
i used to go back and forth. but MB just isnt as appealing to me as when i bought it. overrall blue/pink and the b-sides, well ALL of there work 92-99 is perfection to me. but ill take ANY ozma over any post-2000 weezer.
I'd definately take Ozma over anything post-2000 =w=. I am just sooo excited for this new album.
yes the new album should be nothing short of ridiculously mind blowing. i hope my aspirations arent to high.
i think all of our aspirations are too high. however i hope that i can say "whoa this album has exceeded my expectations of letting me down"
i dont really see what is SO bad about maladroit. you guys may not like it, but i however believe "death and destruction" is brilliant song. along with slob.

I too believe this, however we've taken this discussion out of hand, lets try to stay on topic from now on.
my aspirations arent high at all, honeslty. if the myspace demos are what it will sound like i know what to expect, even thou it may sound nothing like them, i do still LOVE kid icarus, straight flush, and the Nada Surf guy's song sounded great. i dunno, my expectations are up in the air.
and no, D&D sucks, the instrumental demos they did of DD and Burnt Jamb were great thou.
anyways, whos got the next show to post? I like ozma do u have any shows we dont have?
nah, im not much for bootlegs. i dont have anything.
