Thanks for all the efforts, Boombox!

I know this is the samplers thread, but I thought I\'d share an email with you on the subject of Breakfast samplers/freebies given out by us diehards - it definitely works.
I passed on a copy of the Sully\'s DVD in a recent trade with a guy who runs the Mickey Jones (of Man) website. Just got this back:
"Thanks for the discs and the bonus DVD from "The Breakfast" which I
enjoyed, some great musicianship there! I\'m going to pass the DVD on to a friend
who likes that kind of stuff to have a listen to help spread the word."
I know that doesn\'t help over there, but we are doing our bit here for one when the great European trip ever happens! :)
-
I haven\'t heard much of their stuff, Jocelyn, but I like it. And I\'ll finally get to meet Gordo! :) They say there\'s strength in numbers, so maybe if there are 2 Breakfast diehards present at the same time, we can talk the owner into getting 2 nights at LBC (not happening, but whatever). If any of you are in Indiana for some reason or another, this venue is a gem and is a must-see.
-
Enjoy the Garaj Mahal show Kate; I really like those guys.
-
sounds good. anyone who wants one just PM me.
-
As you would say, Gordo...
Now that\'s what I\'m talkin\' about! :banana:
I\'ll take a new EPIC when you come down for the Garaj Mahal show.
-
i think the change makes it a lot lot better. i let it spin in my car yesterday and it has a much nicer flow, and all songs have top notch sound quality. it was hard to listen to escher\'s and LOTG after hearing four studio versions of unbelievable songs. trust me, i think it does a lot more justice to the word EPIC.
id actually like to send a copy out to anyone who wants it so they can spread.. i know a decent amount of people already have the other one but a change now wouldnt hurt anything. maybe it\'s different for me cuz i made the first one and wasnt happy with Escher\'s and Language. also the lack of Buquebus was called out, and rightfully so.
-
sure, that would be great
-
dont do it. i would just wait until after the august shows and make a new sampler from scratch. leave the old one as it is. i havent heard it yet, but i dont think there is any reason to change it now unless you change the whole thing.
Chris, did you still want me to send you copies of the original 3? I can have them in the mail on Friday if you want.

Aaaaaah I\'m just dying for next Wednesday to get here! If the response at Deer Creek is as good as it is on Phantasy Tour, we\'ll have nots of newbs hanging around here soon.
-
Great job to all of thos involved in the Sampler ordeal.
-
I had 2 more emails in my inbox this morning from Spreadheads wanting me to mail them all 3. I\'m so glad people are interested! We wouldn\'t have this opportunity if not for the time and money you spent making these though, Nick. :)

Lol

Slackers are McFlys.

-
Gordo...your pm\'s are full. I\'ll be leaving about 9am Thursday morning before my mail shows up. Dont know if you should spend the $$ on postage now. Thanks for the hassle either way.
im gonna send em anyways, chances are you wont get em in time for the fest but at least youll have them for the future. actually im gonna shape up a few things on em in the next few days and send you out a couple improved discs too. anyone else who wants the set of three to pass out at shows let me know.
GOrdo is their any chance of your sending me those EPIC discs over aim or have you n ot figured out how to do it and are extremely busy.
i be heading to PA for tom petty/black crowes show on sat and plan on handing some out there as well as the allmans/moe show on sunday. so if at all possible id appreciate it so i can hand them out.
its time i stop slacking rujah. ill figure it out today, ive been nothing more than a slacker for ya here.
-
good thinking rujah

OMG Gordo, got my samplers in the mail today. THANK YOU SO MUCH! These are great! I\'m headed out to get a stack of blank CDRs right now so I can do pass-outs at the Widespread Panic show next month...
uberheadiness = confirmed
The Rufus on "Epic"?!?! :jawdrop: :holyshit:
:thumbsup:
Panic People will have a hard time keeping their panties dry after hearing this ****.. glad you like em so much!

I usally let people listen to live shows, then studio recording (Real Radio).
(100th post)
-
kate, by wednesday youll be able to promote your buns off... by the way, im giving you the improved EPIC now w/Buquebus, minus Language Of The Gods.
^^^^^^^^^^i take that back, having a problem with my Deuce right now, sooo looks like youre gonna have to buy the best studio album ever to hear it.
-
Thanks, Gordo...I think these will really help. It\'s been hard for me to promote the band when I\'m not all that familiar with them.
-
Right on, Gordo! I have all of those on the list. Going to listen to a bunch of them and see what ones really show of their talent.
-
"Breakfast Sandwiches"
perfect.
off the top of my head id go with some Score>Crosstown>Score, Mooboo\'s>No Quarter>Mooboo\'s, orrrrrr the Gladys>Score>Gladys>Score and Puppetry>Mooboo\'s>WUIAC>Mooboo\'s>Puppetry.. sooo many great tasty sandwiches though, so many.
good thinkin Spacey, itd show off their unmatchable jamming abilities.
-
I was thinking, about making a sampler, just for Breakfast Sandwiches from the past tour, entitled, The Breakfast, Sandwiches, Tasty grooves from the Real Radio tour. Kinda cheesy but, you get the point. I have a bunch of considerations as to what will make it on the disc but nothing finalized.
-
Has anyone else attempted to make a Breakfast sampler disc? I know the original idea was Gordo\'s but I believe that if more people attempted to make a disc and pass it out we could cover more ground. I am currently working on a sample disc, with the motivation and influence from Gordo, but nothing like his because it wouldn\'t be fair to him.
thanks buddy. it would be fair though, and i take it as a compliment. i agree, more people should come up with their own samplers with material that really grabs them personally, drop a line to the people you dish it out to like "track three 5 minutes in.... holy **** youll flip!" i also found that people need to hear EPIC first, or at least the big tunes, to grab hold when listening to their simpler (but not by any other band\'s standards!) rock or funk songs. Rufus still seems to be the undeniable noob favorite.
oh and kate, picked up my burner two days ago, they will be in the mail on monday morning.. i was gonna do it today but i broke my face last night.

Get your burner fixed, Gordo? My brother keeps insisting he needs more Bfast material ever since I burned him his first show (the Lafayette show) last weekend (even though he knows how to use BitTorrent and is a computer graphics major...you\'d think he could do it himself). ;)
-
I\'ve been passing out both cafe 9 shows from August of 04. Oh yeah, How are you guys?
i\'m good. good shows, although the recordings are full of the insanely high pitched whistling of gencs. sometimes its louder than the music, haha.
-
Great Idea about those mix discs. Ive been kicking my own ass about not making some of my own to give to people who have never heard of The Breakfast. I\'ve been
passing out both cafe 9 shows from August of 04. Oh yeah, How are you guys?
-
does anyone know if theres ever been an extremely short escher\'s somewhere in Breakfast history?
i highly doubt it
-
hey ruj, i know you made mention of that awhile ago.. ive been super busy but im gonna figure out the aim business in the next couple days so i can get em to you..
but ill ask again, anyone know if its even possible to compine those 2 separate tracks for escher\'s on BF as one? itd make a huge improvement on EPIC.. orrr does anyone know if theres ever been an extremely short escher\'s somewhere in Breakfast history?
-
hey gordo: is there a chance you can send those cds over aim so I can hand them out at some shows. im much do lazy to make my own copies.
-
im starting to struggle buying spindles constantly just to give em away. im going to High Sierra next week and i was hoping to bring about a hundred copies of EPIC and just dishing em out, but i also cant drop $60.
Start looking for cheap blanks in the weekly flyers/advertisements for stores such as Office Max, Staples etc.
Last week I bought 200 blanks for $26 at Office Max. I\'m considering the idea of using 100 of the recently purchased blanks for Breakfast promotion out here.
-
outstanding reception. people are telling me that Rufus is the best song theyve ever heard. EPIC gets by far the most talk, but im starting to struggle buying spindles constantly just to give em away. im going to High Sierra next week and i was hoping to bring about a hundred copies of EPIC and just dishing em out, but i also cant drop $60. by the way, i wanted to make a change on epic for improvements. i agree that Buquebus is a must, so i figured i could take out a jammed out version of Escher\'s, replace it with Bona Fide\'s version, then throw on a sick Buquebus and obviously remove the \'filler\' of Language. can anyone out there save Escher\'s parts 1 and 2 as the same track off of Bona Fide and then share the file with me? my burner puts a gap in between every track and that pause would **** me off.
-
Hey Gordo,
How have the sampler efforts been? Hope they have been well-received!
-
Not a problem...I have all summer :)
-
kate, i shouldve dropped you a pm a couple days ago.. my burner is currently being fixed (thank the lord for warranties) the laser is **** but im picking it up tomorrow and it should be all good to go. all i have burned is EPIC and then the Funk cd got funked up, i burned three copies and none worked, didnt understand so i brought it in and they gotta clean the laser or somethin. sorry for the long delay, drop me a pm and let me know if youd like any other shows of any band with the package.
-
Hey Gordo, just wondering what the status on the sampler was....btw, I downloaded the Lafayette show over the weekend (brings back some heady memories) so you don\'t have to worry about messing with that.
-
Hit Me Baby One More Time over Buquebus, Buquebus over anything by Maroon 5
:wink:
-
Scheme over Buquebus, Buquebus over Escher\'s (although I do love Escher\'s).
-
Buquebus vs. TGSOT is a difficult choice. I would still take a Buquebus over an Escher\'s anyday.
-
Yeah and find some way to fit in BUQUEBUS
GO BUQUEBUS! ;)
would you rather a Buquebus over Escher\'s? or actually a Buquebus over TGFSOT? tough call. there should be a tournament for something like this. ;)
-
Yeah and find some way to fit in BUQUEBUS
GO BUQUEBUS! ;)

can someone out there please hook me up with a couple timmy tour shows..
i am about to do a 4 show solo tim b+p offer including 2 shows that have not been released yet. check the score forum this week.
solid chris, solid.
by the way, my friends that i burned these samplers for--- flipping the **** out over EPIC!!! they all said they cant take it out of their players, one of em is a huge hip hop fan too! EPIC EPIC EPIC.... they should do an official live release of those tunes, that would be the sickest album ever (minus Language)
-
Good one, Todd. :)

I want to absorb as much as possible this summer.
Don\'t let Freddie here you say that!!! ;) :lol:
-
I\'d like to hear some Timmy Tour stuff as well, considering I\'m new to just about everything here. I want to absorb as much as possible this summer.
-
how about a disc 4 that contains "the best of timmy tour?"
I have been meaning to make one, but i havent had time because transferring the weekly shows uses up what little free time i have. I have a lot of uncirrculated stuff to choose from between old shows from \'02, diesel experiments, smokin\' boomers, solo tim, etc. if i get around to it in the next couple weeks i will start working on one.
can someone out there please hook me up with a couple timmy tour shows.. i dont own any. id be willing to make my half of a trade hefty. please guys, i must experience this.
Gordo, you want me to send you some blank cd\'s for that? I\'d be more than willing.
kate-- just pm your address and ill send copies free of charge.
-

you can fill most of it with second set from 5-11-05......

oh yeah... no Gladys?

Id think Spunk would go on "They will rock you". Just IMO.
no.
well if i look at the list now i couldve switched Spunk and Score, but come on you can still see Spunk as the funk... it even rhymes.
-
Id think Spunk would go on "They will rock you". Just IMO.
Yeah I can see that.
-
just go to send file and the type the name of the buddy you want to send? its alot easier than bp, but sometimes i have to send one file at a time. let me know if you know how to do, cuz I would like to check out those discs as well. if not i guess i could make my own, but I quite lazy
-

post the dates that you took each song from. I think I\'m going to moe.down, so this would be good to continue there.
i be hitting up moedown for hte first time this year, hopefully more people will have gotten wet by then.
-
Id think Spunk would go on "They will rock you". Just IMO.
-
for sure, the rhythm that Tim plays is funky too, along with his singing. ill just put the first half pre-jam as the last track on the funk cd and the jam>beyond as the first track on the rock cd!!
(joking, obviously)
-
Yeah I\'ll agree with you on the Gravity jams.
I was thinkin bout the bass and drums in the verses- undeniably funky.
I just don\'t like Earache. So my opinion on that one should probably bed disregarded.
-
Score-- definitely couldve been on funk.. but timing let it fit on the rock.
Gravity-- i think it fits the rock cd better, plus timing i guess, again. the jam isnt so funky to me.
no Earache for Sir Psycho? after i listened to the 3.4.05 version of Earache i thought that it should DEF replace Sir, but hey i like the opinion--- esp. w/a no way involved.
>>>ill stay then. i like to live dangerously.
now when im playing Gravity in my head though, the verses are really funky. i guess i was just thinking about the ridiculous jams lately that have a more prog-rock feel to em.
-
Would have thought both Gravity and Score would go on the funk disc. Esp. Score.
I wouldn\'t replace Sir Psycho with Earache... no way.
-
you want to make me a copy of those? :))
id be glad to.. PM me a destination.
post the dates that you took each song from. I think I\'m going to moe.down, so this would be good to continue there.

13.Food For Thought -- Bona Fide
after typing i realized i was definitely biased as far as the Lafayette show goes, buuut if youve downloaded youll understand that it was **** hot. i obviously wasnt at the Baja Bash but its one of my favorite shows and both 4.29.05 and 7.31.04 have excellent sound quality which played a major role. im going to make a switch though. taking out SirPsycho Sexy and throwing in the Earache My Eye from 3.4.05 .... i know that it goes into May Fly so should i replace that one too?? have a seg? the thing is i considered the 3.4.05 May Fly originally but thought the Star Wars and Punky Reggae teases (from 4.29.05) might grab a noob very well. once again>> more thoughts?
oh, and if you didnt realize, Deuce/Bona/RR were mostly chosen for sound quality/tightness/vocal/horns(Score) purposes. thats why theyre so frequent. STL was especially chosen from Deuce b/c i like the UNinverted version much more. didnt go with studio Doughboy, Sleeping Beauty, Gravity versions b/c the jams i chose from them are waaay too good to pass by.
also just realized that the studio Garcian Fishbowl fits on ~EPIC~ in place of Language. yes or no?
-
you want to make me a copy of those? :))
-
post the dates that you took each song from. I think I\'m going to moe.down, so this would be good to continue there.
-
whoa. was busy yesterday, didnt check the board. they call me Gordo -- the turkey jivin muff divin man -- here in chicago.. NO bj\'s from this cat.
dave-- buquebus wouldve gone on the EPIC most likely if it fit. it didnt, and i contemplated taking off a few songs on the other two discs to fit it, but after thinking i decided i couldnt throw on every mindblowing tune, this way whoever listens to these discs will later hear a Buquebus and think "holy ****, there\'s even more epic tunes?! yyyyyyyeeeeesssss....."
spacey-- i will PM in a moment. 10KL isnt looking so good, but im definitely gonna work at getting there as best i can. by the way, i raved about em on the 10KL board for a few days and people seemed intersted. there was some band called BUMP who posted on the board, after fans brought them (bump) up, and they were described as prog/funk/rock. they offered a free live sampler, i emailed them asking for a copy and put a note "hey people are saying youre prog/rock/funk. ive never heard ya but if thats your style you should hook up with the breakfast theyll be there and theyre **** sick." reply: yyyeah, we know all about the breakfast. we\'re gonna send you a sampler but please dont expect anything mind-blowing. ummm, hope to see you there. ha!
freddie-- what do you mean? send copies through IM? i dont know, not good with that kind of **** but if you send me your addy ill send you copies.
zurflu-- good call on the Son Of Simpleton. point me in the direction of a good 1.5 minute i can download off Llama.
i will find out shortly what the peeps at work think of these tunes so far..
-
Breakfast Strategy but, I will take the BJ too.
People gotta see the Breakfast at this festival or it will be a failure. I mean people really have to be told to see the Breakfast at this festival.
This event obviously has the potential of being a major success for the band. Good thinking on the promotional efforts to boost attendance and draw in new fans. Attendance was a little light on the swing through \'middle America" and we would love to see more packed houses on the next run.

Are you going to 10k Lakes? If so, I need to talk with you. PM me sometime. Thanks
Coordinating a major Breakfast marketing strategy or just hoping to share a tent and a :bj: together?

Throw in a 1.5 minute Son of Simpleton to close one of the disks with remaining space.
Hope the disks get a great reception from all the newbs.
-
gordo,excellent work.
can you send me these via im?
-
Gordo, Great idea. Was thinking about putting together 2 sets from the best of this Real Radio tour. Good job.

i chose the best live version/sound quality/jams that fit all 3 categories as much as possible, i did use some studio versions which i know is breaking the rules but i had to (tunes like TFA, Mooboo\'s, Grand Scheme) so they got the point. im going to make a lot of copies and pass them out to people at shows in this area, im also gonna bring a batch to High Sierra and pass them out. so before i do that id like to consult with my fellow Breakfast Eaters and see if there is anything i absolutely should put on that isnt right now. please, give me your thoughts......... thanks.
by the way, all discs run at around 78 minutes total. i made sure to maximize the open space.
