Is there a recording of 1.1.94? That's not from the demo? I'm just curious as to when it was last played.

If there is one, it's probably buried deep in Amanda's closet. I can't imagine this one having been being played anytime in the last few years.

Speaking of which, I had an idea for a thread which would contain information about when every song was last played. Would that be a good idea?

Go for it.

What demo?  :-\

I do like the idea of a thread about when songs were last played.

The demo that was on ebay for about $1000. It was Amanda's high school demo. The one on the brigade site is her college one. By the way, is it true that there's a track of it missing for the brigade site?

And I will begin work on a list of songs.

The demo that was on ebay for about $1000. It was Amanda's high school demo.

Not quite. There was a discussion of it here when the tape first went on eBay. Long story short, the tape was recorded on her then-boyfriend's computer around Summer '97 (I think), which was when Amanda was on summer break from college. Only ~30 copies were made, complete with artwork. (I believe the tapes were professionally dubbed too.) The track listing is as follows.

Side A: Bad Habit / Slide / Predictable Addiction
Side B: Kaledrina / 1.1.94

As far as I know, this one hasn't made its way to the Internet.

There are at least two other tapes people have heard. One is supposedly called "The Long Lost Blue Tape" and is supposedly from '90. I know nothing else about it. There's also a 90 minute tape Amanda compiled around '95 and gave to some people when she was running around Europe. She said it has some pretty embarrassing stuff but, if I'm interpolating the story correctly, Edward Ka-spel (Legendary Pink Dots frontman and longtime friend of Amanda) really liked it. Anyway, that's the tape with the songs that have appeared on the Internet.

Will any of this ever get re-released? I don't know. I'd imagine Amanda will release some demos someday but I'm just speculating. I doubt even she knows if, much less when, this will occur or in what form.

I think that's all correct. If anybody wishes to correct me, go for it. Otherwise, bow to my useless knowledge skills, bitches.

Question 1: what's the file type? MP3? FLAC?

Okay.

Question 2: how big are the files?

Question 3: how are you saving them? That is, are you right-clicking and saving or using some other method?

You should check. There's a chance the links are broken and you're actually downloading a HTML file.

See above. Try left-clicking and seeing what happens. Also, try another audio player. I can't imagine why iTunes would fail but who knows.
