i have a couple arson garden live recordings which are not on on their page which i'd like to make available there. i've already uploaded the songs from one of them to my profile but not sure what to do after that. i assume that an admin would have to move them over or something but am not sure. is there a faq that i am missing? thanks!
Jeb has a tool in the works for doing what you describe. If he doesn't swing by to drop a line here in a day or two I will try to remind him about this.
Regarding the AG tracks you have posted, what's the source (date, location, etc, if you know it)? James and April are on here, you should drop them a line!

the recording is dated july 22, 1990 from case western reserve university radio station wruv's studio-a-rama. the show was broadcast on wruv and someone kindly recorded it for posterity. unfortunately, their reception was a bit hissy but better than nothing, eh? if anyone wants a lossless flac version of the recording, you can find it on dimeadozen.org but wanted to share mp3s as well for those who prefer them.
i've been in touch with both april and james over the past week and james encouraged me to post the mp3s here as well.
Hey woj, James emailed me about your boots and I want to encourage you to contribute them to the archive. You might not be aware but there has been kind of a serious meltdown recently. Can you put a zip file of the mp3s on a webserver somewhere where I can download them and get them in the archive once we get everything settled down?
As you may have read, the archive is down right now and will be for a little while. I have set up a new server account with Mosso (a cloud server) after a lengthy chat with them about what we needed. They assured me that they wouldn't be yanking down our stuff, etc. I've heard good things about them in general so I'm hoping this is the last stop for the archive for a while.
Once we get it back up and running we would love to get these tracks on MFT. Thanks!

sounds good! you (and anyone else) can pick the WRUV set from mediafire. i want to see if i can improve the sound of the other show but should have it uploaded sometime this week.
I'm all for MFT and the artists both making some money whether it's NP or not. I'm glad there is another way of getting us out there.
If I would have sold an album in the 80s, I remember most little labels and artists would be happy to sell their t…
PJ- I thought of that too! I could use a new Ping hat.
We aren't too far down the road of the NP thing to turn back. But John is right, if we can find a way to funnel money to artists then I'm all about having MFT make some of that transaction. It…
