Michael Franti and Spearhead

friday 15 August 2008
Kiewit (Hasselt - Belgium), Pukkelpop festival

it seems to me incredible that this guy used once to sing "Television, the Drug of the Nation" in Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. Spearhead nowadays are quite far from what they were in 1995. The label "reggae" is a bit streched, I know, surely "hiphop" or "alternative pop" wouldn't be reflective of what they effectively are... some tracks are reggae, some tracks are salsa, some tracks are (vaguely) hiphop, and others are simply pop...
OFF TOPIC - old spearhead fans, please go and have a look at this other torrent of mines that nobody noticed: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=278012

WARNING: as in italian radio customes the DJ speaks a lot in-between songs. And I mean a lot.. Her purpose is to introduce songs with bits of artist's bio. I edited a few minutes of banters (or more) where I could, where there was no music from the show in the background, but it may gets VERY annoying, and trust me it does. NO EDITING DONE WHERE YOU CAN HEAR MUSIC BEHIND THE RADIO BANTER. Ditto for the station ID's.

note that due to disk space limitations, I will not be able to keep seeding this torrent for a long time - I will abandon the seed in a few days, maybe remove from HD these wav/flac files, and keep only my own CDR. Too many things to upload. In case of seeders going missing, enlist yourself as a leecher and some seeder will come back, and you are anyhow welcome to try and ask for additional torrenting...
FFP included - if uploaded on other trackers or reseed (and you are welcome to do both), please include original infofile. Also, if not satisfied with my offering, you are welcome to remaster/retrack/whatever and repost, but please always clearly state where/who did you have this material from and keep original infofile.
