Based on various sources including:

I seem to have numbered the practice tapes using a scheme where "Practice X.Y" means "practice #Y for show #X"

Timeline

  • 1992-10-19 Show #1 at Club Fred (4-track recording was made; I have a mixdown cassette, DAT, and possibly the 4-track)
    • There's also a cassette labelled "Boom Box Master", which is presumably different from the mixdown.
  • 1992-??-?? Show #2 at Club Fred was sometime before December 20
  • 1993-01-15 Show #3 at Hoyt Street North (recorded on DAT)
    • There's also a cassette marked "Nick's box master" -- possibly a different feed off the mixing board? Or is the "box" the cassette recorder-with-mics?
  • 1993-03-27 "Practice 4.1" (recorded on DAT)
  • 1993-04-01 "Practice 4.2" (recorded on DAT)
  • 1993-04-03 "Practice 4.3" (recorded on DAT)
  • 1993-04-27 Show #4 at The Shoebox (also Fuzzy Sprouts): I have 2nd-gen VHS, possibly DAT, and DAT of Fuzzy Sprouts
  • The Mirage apparently died sometime during this interval (probably practice 5.1)
  • 1993-06-?? "Practice 5.1" (recorded on DAT)
  • 1993-06-07 "Practice 5.2" (recorded on DAT)
  • 1993-06-08 Show #5 at The Shoebox (also Daddy Upright, Kevn Kinney): I have DATs of all 3
  • 1993-06-19 "Practice 6.1" (recorded on DAT)
  • 1993-06-?? "Practice 6.2" (recorded on DAT)
  • 1993-06-28 "Practice 6.3" (recorded on DAT)
  • 1993-07-10 Show #6 at B & L Warehouse - I remember I had the mini-keyboard and possibly the Fender-Rhodes (need to listen to DAT)
  • 1993-07-12 "Xfer #2" DAT was started
  • 1994-02-03 "Xfer #2" DAT was filled
  • 1994-02-13 or so: got recording equipment from Dan - Tascam 80-8, Tascam 4-track cassette, DAT recorder, keyboards, DAT tapes, effects, etc.
  • 1994-02-14 - 16: organized studio space, built shelves, etc.
  • 1994-02-17 or 18: Re-recorded DFB vocals
  • 1994-02-20: recording session with Brian, Dan, Tim.
    • solo guitar & piano on Two Ways
    • lead guitar in break of FMC
  • 1994-02-21: located cheesy Mirage drum sound for Chameleon
  • 1994-02-26: Diane's saxophone on DFB, take 1
  • 1994-02-27: Scratch tracks for Chameleon - vocals, Rhodes, rhythm sequence, guide drums
  • 1994-02-28 (?): semifinal mix of FMC
    • MoG "Listen #1" DAT also started
  • 1994-03-06: very bad scratch mix of Two Ways -- would have spent more time, but had to tear down for jam session
  • 1994-03-09 (while preparing listening tape for Scott): Discovered Dan has erased existing mixes of BoD on "Xfer #1". This is in addition to erasing the mixes he did of his songs on "Xfer #2" and "Xfer #3" (renamed "Listen #1"), and splicing MoG studio #2 8-track so all his songs could be together on one tape. It strikes me that erasing his mixes is ok, splicing tape without asking is marginal, and erasing pre-existing mixes without warning is definitely uncool.
  • 1994-03-14 (? 13?): recorded Go Away base tracks, Questions scratch Rhodes, and click track
  • 1994-03-15: re-recorded Go Away lead vocal
  • 1994-03-16: Questions scratch lead guitar, scratch Rhodes 2
  • 1994-04-13: MoG is dissolved due to Dan's inability to work with Tim
  • 1994-10-23: Tim apparently does his own mix of FMC
