Talk:First Album Medley

From This Might Be A Wiki

I think this would be a good one to upload to our lovely TMBW.Net MP3s page. Any objections/agreetions? -bj

Sounds good. I need to make a change to the upload tool though, to allow you to upload MP3's first. Let me work on that, and i'll let you know when it's ready. --Duke33 08:52, 1 Sep 2005 (EDT)
OK
Give it a shot now. You should be able to upload an mp3 now...let me know if you run into any issues. --Duke33 23:22, 1 Sep 2005 (EDT)
Every time I've tried to upload it, it comes up saying the file is empty. Any advice?
Why don't you email me the file, and i'll try to upload it, and see what's going on? --Duke33 10:06, 5 Sep 2005 (EDT)
Sure. What's your address? Oh yeah, you can download it from here [1], but for some reason for me that type of link only works with dial-up connection. BlarJotunn
Hmmm...I tried downloading it from the FTP server, and it didn't work. Can you email it to my address on the Contact Us page. --Duke33 12:34, 6 Sep 2005 (EDT)
Did you get the email?
Yes, and this is definitely the issue: Meta Page On Uploading Files. I'll look into it on my web server to see if i can change the max filesize.--Duke33 09:24, 9 Sep 2005 (EDT)
I could split the file into separate parts, or lower the bitrate, if either of those options would help.--BlarJotunn


Whatever happened to this? -Ecks
What happened??? I totally dropped the ball...that's what happened. Got caught up in other stuff, and forgot about it, honestly. I'll upload it this weekend. --Duke33 08:32, 4 Nov 2005 (EST)
Uh, yeah. Been a while. :P -Ecks

Go nuts

The mp3 is located at http://tmbw.net/mp3/They%20Might%20Be%20Giants%20-%20First%20Album%20Medley.mp3. Feel free to link it up. --Duke33 16:41, 28 Nov 2005 (EST)

Sorry it took me so long...for some reason, i could never get the full version of the song to download. It would always stop downloading at 2 minutes or so...and then, i was having problems with my ftp server uploading the file. But, all is well now.
Should this go on the TMBW.net MP3s, seeing as there hasn't been one in a while? (Also, we should put My Lone Constellation, I think. Just so people know about it.) -Ecks
Sounds good to me, if you want to add them...Might want to put a note on current events also.--Duke33 17:11, 28 Nov 2005 (EST)

Oh. Hi..

I know it's a bit late to come in on this discussion. Sorry that I've been neglecting this wiki lately. Anyway, just wanted to point out that the First Album Medley is one of mine. (the ftp link posted up there came from my site. yeah okay, the MP3s are down right now.. what's your point?)

That's okay though. You guys can have it.

Sorry about the abrupt ending, I made that MP3 a very long time ago on very slow computer, and well, it's six minutes long and I just didn't have the patience to process it a second time. In case you're wondering, Flansburgh says, "I feel like cars are crashing on the West Side Highway, reaching for the dial.." -TDK 12:26, 4 Dec 2005 (EST)

Just for the record, in emails between The Duke and I, I sourced you for this mp3. --BlarJotunn
Well, that's strange since he knows that as a rule I don't like my stuff appearing on other sites. And he didn't even credit me anywhere. -TDK 21:37, 4 Dec 2005 (EST)
He's a busy guy. Plus yours is down and only works with FTP anyway.
I'm just saying that it's strange that he didn't ask me about it, since he's been helping me with my wiki and has had plenty of opportunities. I would have cleaned it up a little before letting it appear here.
Sorry 'bout that guys. In retrospect, i probably should have given you a heads up, TDK, but in all honesty, I had this one on the back burner for a long time, and forgot about it. At least you've been given credit now for the original recording...hope that's all cool. --Duke33 16:30, 5 Dec 2005 (EST)
I took the silly credit off the MP3 page, and added a more low-key credit to the FAM page, instead. -TDK 23:12, 5 Dec 2005 (EST)


They should do this for the other albums at some point. I definitely understand why they only did the first one, but, like, in separate sessions. It'd be fun. ~Anna Ng hears your words.

Does it still exist?

I've been going on a quest tonight to find a still working mp3 of this song, and I can't. Does anybody have it that would like to upload it to youtube or something? --Jaydn* (talk) 02:35, 16 June 2013 (EDT)

I thought I had it on my site, but apparently not. I'm gonna be doing an update in the next couple of days so I'll get it up then. --Self Called Nowhere (talk) 02:56, 16 June 2013 (EDT)
Here's a FLAC rip from a copy of the full show I have. Enjoy! Via Mediafire -CapitalQtalk ♪ 11:00, 16 June 2013 (EDT)
Thanks so much! So good! --Jaydn* (talk) 22:33, 16 June 2013 (EDT)
