(Er, guys? Our audio archive went dead ages ago. Sorry. There must be stuff floating around torrents by now.
So for now here, we can enjoy videos and the days when sharing audio was a thing!)
(Insert hazy dream sequence transition....)
Ah, the glorious world
of mp3. The Pursuit of Happiness' place in this world has made it to toddlerhood...which
means it's hard to keep up and shut us up.
We're proud to have an archive of mp3s of more than a dozen TPOH live shows
from various tours, along with the earliest indie singles, the last demos
and a couple Moe Berg solo shows with material available nowhere else on Earth...except
from people kind enough to share them.
Join the ranks of those kind people, and let us know if you have a live
recording to share.
And now we have more videos than ever!
So what else do we have? Well, take a look...
For a few years, we had a little something called the MP3 of the Week: an MP3 of a song from a live show or a rare track you couldn't find any other way. As you see by that list down there, we have songs from tours that cover every TPOH album, all the way up to late last year. So we thought it was time to take a break, and it kind of stayed that way.
As explained in The Rules, we'd love you to share (not sell) these mp3s as much as possible. So if you're sharing the MP3s of the Week, please tell us so we can tell everyone where to find them! Thanks again to John for all his help through the years.
Also tell us if you have any live shows we can make into mp3s. We just might bring this thing back if you give us the fuel for it.
