The Fool is getting the car test at the moment. I have nothing to lose with giving them a good chance.

agreed. I'll try to upload it for ya

yep i've caught the bug. Lovein' what i've seen so far. Gonna pick up the album when i get paid on tuesday (unless the world does end today)

I've gone off them now. Such is the fickle nature of people.

I was briefly enamored of the tight trousers, but that can only last a certain amount of time, specially at my age

Those two pro-shot youtube vids (Undertow and Elephants at Coachella) block users from my country:

I've tried to use proxies with no result, could someone from the US (or maybe another country that isn't blocked) grab the FLV (through Keepvid for instance) in the best resolution and upload them for me ?

Thanks in advance :)

sorry, can't help with the youtube thing (same problem), while waiting for help you could check this:

Ah yeah, thanks!

You must spread some reputation around blah blah...

Elitism sucks. I can't watch those youtube videos either. I have the Coachella show, downloaded it a while ago from the same site nicfit has linked to. Hopefully, not being able to watch those doesn't mean we are missing on something different.

Warpaint will be performing later today at NPR's World Cafe, starts airing at 2:00 PM EST, and you can check if there is a radio station available in your area that would broadcast this, if you live in the United States:

I don't know if any of those stations do webcasts, so i guess if no one is able to capture it from the airwaves, then we would have to hope MP3s will be uploaded at some point to NPR's website. Warpaint already did a short session at World Cafe in November of last year apparently, and it's available here:

Yeah...I think it's probably a matter of "rights" to show the taped stuff in different countries, not sure it is a proper form of elitism, even if results are pretty similar hehe.
I think there are a couple glitches (nothing too annoying) in the audioperv recording, the youtube ones, if properly edited, could have better bitrate (both sound an video) and possibly better resolution too.
We'll see, if someone will be willing to help us foreigners :D.

A few coachella "pro" vids are on vimeo too, not sure if those are better quality or simply "cut" from the audioperv vid or sumthin'.

there's also this:

which is kinda interesting, if the link hasn't been posted here yet (I haven't followed the whole thread...)

i was quite disapointed by the album. Thought it was pretty dull, but then shazam! it all fell into place. I didn't like the production at all but the mood of the album (once you understand it) is lovely

I really think they sound waaaaaaaay better live somehow.

I agree (regarding the album The Fool especially - I think the [EDITED for correction] Exquisite Corpse E.P. is closer to their live sound, thanks to John Frusciante's mix maybe ?).

yeah, live stuff on youtube was what got me hooked.

nice!

Yeah, i know restrictions of this kind have a lot to do with copyright issues most of the time. I was kind of just bitching, without dedicating any deep thoughts to the subject:).

That acoustic video is pretty nice. Proof that they do things well without over abusing their stash of pedals, as it has been implied before in this thread (the song "Baby", is also worth of mention regarding this point).

And yeah, i agree with you all on the Warpaint live vs. Warpaint on record debate (if there is any). I love both the "Exquisite Corpse" EP and "The Fool", but i also think pretty much all of the songs sound superior in any live performance than they do on the records. I'm looking forward to seeing them in September, maybe they'll even have a taste of new material that would end up on their next album (I'm daydreaming).

One thing about Warpaint i really dislike, is that their management and label (and possibly the band themselves?) don't seem to fully support the circulation of live recordings, or at least that's apparently the reason why those that were available at the recordingla blog had to be taken down. It would be a giant bummer if that policy ever extends to dimeadozen. Admittedly, i don't know the circumstances or exact reasons as to why they opposed the further distribution of the files that were in that blog (i guess if they were planning to release officially those specific shows, then it would have made sense), but i don't see the harm in taping and sharing. In fact, i fell in love with this band after hearing recordings of this kind, and that pushed me to buy the official stuff. The way i see it, distribution of recordings of live shows are positive for musicians in a similar way as it is playing sessions for KCRW, NPR's World Cafe (today's session is now up), All Saints Basement (see nicfit's post), yourstru.ly, spinner and what have you; or having a handful of demos available for free at last.fm, for instance.

Just got this e-mail, i thought it might be useful for someone:

fuck the fuck yeah. I adore the Hollywood Bowl!

Re-upped. It seems like they are no longer available to download from last.fm:
