On another note: I am in touch with the person who made the How To Sleep On Floors compilation; I might be able to snag myself an original VHS copy if I'm lucky. If I can, somehow, I will convert it to a digital format and upload the file here... that would be better than ripping my current 320x240 poorly-burned DVD.
Ebay would probably be a better bet. Or Discogs. That's where I've been getting all my vinyl. I bought a sealed CD copy of Bibio's "Fi" album for $5.
How did you manage to get in contact with these guys?

A bit of detective work on YouTube.
CUE: theme to The Pink Panther...
The comp's original putter-together-person left a comment on an excerpt (the duster bit) which someone else had put onto YouTube; this comment said something to the effect of, "I can't believe it was more than ten years ago that I originally made this!"
I simply sent him a direct message with my email address, asking him to contact me. He did, and now we are in the midst of an exchange.

We dropped out of contact for a short while, but now I'm "back on the case" - now I've offered to make an archival-quality digital transfer for him if he will send me a proper VHS copy of the compilation.

Oh, shit. Do you think when you get it, you could shoot me a .mp4? It doesn't have to be super high quality.

Absolutely! I was planning to anyway - you didn't even have to ask!

So you know those Duster rarities that you sent me the download for?
The track that starts at the end of "Untitled (61)" is actually Helvetia's "Hybrid Moments" pitched down a bit. If you haven't, I really recommend you check out Helvetia's Gladness compilation. It's like 30+ unreleased/demo tracks from 2001-2006.

Wow - I didn't know about the "Hybrid Moments" tidbit!
Any ideas where I might track down a copy of "Gladness"?

I have not checked the downloads located at each of these links; one or the other may be of greater or lesser bitrate, so I recommend downloading them both and keeping the higher-quality version. Bleejlkafsdjkl, if only everyone used FLAC... but I digress.

a live set on KSCU from like '98 or '99. Mostly stuff off of Stratoshere but some other gems as well. I used to have a tape of it but lost it somewhere along the way. I got this from Clay.
Here's some more info on the KSCU recording. I remember the DJ for the show was called 'Mr. Monchichi' I kinda wish the banter in between songs was left on the download but I'll take what I can get.
1997 - On The Air - Live @ KSCU
01-Heading For The Door 02-I Am The King 03-My Friends Are Cosmonauts 04-Untitled 05-Inside Out 06-Gold Dust 07-Reed To Hillsborough 08-Stars Will Fall Time: 00:41:20
I'll post it here once I get permission to share it from the guy that sent it to me.
