BOOTLEGGING: ALBUMS MADE OF LOVE

Bootlegging, in the music world, is when you make a copy of an album and release it. In this context, I use it to refer to making albums from live recordings, a band's b-sides, or other unreleased material. The bootlegs on this page were designed by me, with all recordings belonging to their original owners. Downloads can be found here, or on Soulseek under the user bryng. Hope you enjoy!

LIST OF ARTISTS I"VE BOOTLEGGED

• Ween
• Mr. Bungle
• The Divine Comedy (Neil Hannon)
• The Decemberists
• Scissor Sisters
• Radiohead

BOOTLEGS

THE DIVINE COMEDY

Regeneration²

Description:

Regeneration² is a compilation of the b-sides and unreleased songs from the Regeneration era. It does no include every b-side, I believe one is missing, but the purpose of this boot isn't to contain every Regeneration era song, it's to piece together a whole new album from the scraps of another. I think this is a really cool bootleg, it feels like it could've been a whole album.

Repaintin' The Town Brown (Live '00 - '23)

Description:

OK. THIS ONE IS BIG. In the late 90s, Ween released Paintin' The Town Brown, which was a collection of live recordings from the past few years.
