If you’ve ever read this previous post, you’ll know how much I like Tapes ‘n’ Tapes. It’s been a while since they’ve done anything new. In fact, it’s been a while since they’ve done anything at all. Played a few shows across America maybe, but there’s not been much action this side of the world. So I got quite excited when I received one of the band’s emails saying they’d finished their 2nd album and were about to start touring it. Yeeha!
The following tracks are not new in any way, shape or form. I spent a few months and a few pennies (but not that much) on eBay last year tracking down the various singles, promos and odd releases that had slipped through my Tapes ‘n ‘ Tapes radar. If you have ‘The Loon’ do yourself a favour and download this wee selection of b-sides, session tracks and remixes to complete your collection. If you don’t have ‘The Loon’, why not? Try before you buy from the menu below, then go and buy ‘The Loon’.
1. Cowbell (KEXP session, previously only available as a free download.
Now it’s available as a, er, download again…for free…)
2. Jacov’s Suite (KEXP session, b-side of ‘Cowbell‘ CD single)
3. Omaha (KEXP session, b-side of ‘Cowbell‘ 7″ single)
4. Cowbell (Blackeyes Remix – Promo only release – rare as hens teeth)
These instruments below made that racket above
