The Monday Set: Nation of Ulysses – Rapid City – 9/2/92

This show was the second (and last) time NOU played in Rapid City, SD and the turnout was huge. From what I remember, it was the last show of the summer, right before school started up again for the year. This recording is a little loud on the vocals (they were playing in a gym), but otherwise it's great late-era NOU soundboard recording.

a-ha – Take On Me, The Blood That Moves The Body, The Bandstand (Live)

Norway's a-ha have spent the past 25+ years releasing hit albums and selling out arenas all over the world, with the exception of the U.S., where the band has been relegated to dreaded "one-hit wonder" status based solely on the strength of 80s anthem "Take On Me." Fans of the band know that a-ha actually has a catalog of consistently good albums, leading up to 2009's "Foot of the Mountain." (More ...)

The Monday Set: Satisfact – Seattle – 8/14/96

Every single live Satisfact recording that I've acquired in the past 15 years has been horrible quality and this recording is no exception. There was one track on a KXLU live comp that came out years ago that is absolutely fantastic, but despite all my searching, I've never been able to track that recording down. This is the earliest Satisfact recording that I have, recorded only a week after their "The Unwanted Sounds of" came out.

The Cure – Prayers For Rain (Live Video)

The ultimate 3 disc set of Disintegration was released this week in the US. I've been having a great time listening to all of the demos/outtakes/live tracks. Disintegration was the very first CD that I ever bought, but of course, I had to have it on vinyl (picture disc, none the less) and it's still one of my favorite records of all time. And here is a live clip from the Disintegration tour.
