Am i the only one around here who keeps up with Time Stereo / Warn Defever / His Name is Alive projects?

Hey HNIA fanatics - if you have any of the Time Stereo CD-Rs (that came out around 2000-2001) that were burned on Mitsui CD-Rs (look at the clear plastic at the center of the CD, label-side) then you might want to rip them to WAV/FLAC while it's still possible. Several of mine are deteriorating, even with proper storage (no direct sunlight, room temperature, etc.) In my entire collection, I've only had one other CD-R that has deteriorated, so that tells me that the connection here has got to be that batch of Mitsui CD-Rs they were using.

So far, my CD-Rs of "Great Lakes State Blues", "Sound of Mexico" and "Early Music Vol. 1" are ripping with lots of terrible audio artifacts. The 10 or so others (on Mitsui CD-Rs) that I ripped just now all ripped fine, though.

Someone uploaded a 1995 HNIA show in Mexico including the opening set from the Dirt Eaters (with mosh pit!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5UdkfRS3p8

Very pleasant surprise to hear Home is In Your Head's "Sitting Still Moving Still Staring Outlooking" toward the end of the movie Air -- played while Phil Knight/Ben Affleck was waiting for word on Michael Jordan signing with Nike.

Might be time to start a "Brit-label indie music soundtracking major-studio sports-tangential films" thread, i.e. Durutti Column in "Jerry Maguire."
