- I am not openly trading.  It requires too much personal time to prepare shows, communicate via e-mail with people, and send packages.   I had to stop.  I must apologize, but e-mail requests will NOT be replied to.  Maybe during summer 2007 I'll be able to again.
 
- Site was ignored from July 2005 - February 2006.  Real life does that sometimes.  Details for the majority of shows added since June 2005  have NOT been entered yet.
 
- Also, Eisley shows are no longer available for trades, due to band's request. 
 
- Oh, and new music to be put up soon at http://www.myspace.com/unclebutta.
 

Butter here. So.....you've made it.  If you look below and on the right, written in orange, you'll find my basic rules for the exchange of recorded shows.  I am no longer doing open trades, but in the event you and I end up trading....my collection is mostly audios (e.g., miniDisc, cd/cd-r, cassette); I have a few videos listed at the bottom but I CANNOT copy videos.  Master recordings from before Sep 2001 are on cassette and will only be copied for items I really want, due to the inconvenience.  Whoa, right now it feels as though you and I are having a real conversation. Well....if YOU want to communicate something to me, write to unclebutta@hotmail.com .

Below is a bit of a mix of a lot of different genres.....folk, hiphop, indie rock/post-hardcore/emo, turntablism, soul/jazz, latin pop/rock, alternative, pop-punk, and some relatively unknown or uncategorizable "whatever".    
 
 
Bootlegs/artists/shows that I always want (especially video): Bobby McFerrin, Mineral, Soul-Junk, Digable Planets, DJ Shadow, Stevie Wonder, Bilal,
Radiohead: [May 26, 2001, San Sebastian, Spain],
The Roots [May 28, 2005, Chicago, Illinois, USA]
The Appleseed Cast: [ 1998-1999 any shows], Bjork [concert videos since Homogenic], Braid [video], The Breeders, Camber, Cut Chemist, Dear Ephesus, Eisley or Moss Eisley [any live video], Jejune, Kid Koala, Amel Larrieux, John Mayer - acoustic [video only], My Spacecoaster or Tiebreaker, Omar, DJ Q-Bert, Noe Venable [video], almost ANY turntablism videos, and a couple of other bands that I can't remember right now.

Rules for trading/obtaining copies:

First, shows can be copied onto cd-r, MiniDisc, or cassette.  

If you don't have anything to trade, we can do a blanks & postage (b&p) trade.   A b&p works like this: you send the number of blank cd-rs* needed for the shows you want, plus stamps/money to cover the postage for me to mail the cds back to you, all inside a protective, bubble-wrap-lined envelope (which I will reuse).   
*As I have to use a cd-recorder to transfer many shows--and not a cd-burner--you will probably have to send music cd-rs (they have the words "Digital Audio" in their Compact Disc logo) for shows.  I will let you know if sending any regular blanks are o.k.--or if music cd-rs are necessary.  When sending music cd-rs, Sony, TDK, and Fuji brands are preferred--as brands like Memorex, Maxell too often experience "errors" in my cd recorder.

I do not accept money in exchange for copies of shows.

The description "master" refers to a recording that I, myself, recorded--an original. (More than 90% of my collection are masters.) "1st generation copy" is a copy that came directly from an original master recording; "2nd generation" is a copy of a copy from a master; and so on.  For some recordings, I don't know this info.

I like concerts. Period. If it's a concert that's been posted on-line, I couldn't care less--it's still a concert. But--don't bother trying to TRADE with ripped MP3's 'cause I'll probably find the show without you and burn it on my own.  I HATE GAPS BETWEEN SONGS.  (Bands I really want are exceptions.)  Copy discs DAO--Disc At Once.  If there are gaps and we haven't discussed it beforehand, I will most likely cancel the trade and send your discs back "return to sender". 

Cd-rs are sent in paper or plastic sleeves, inside protective envelopes.  I do not send jewel cases.  (More weight = more postage.  YOU can do whatever you want.)   With most shows I will also send a j-card (or "cover"), i.e., a paper insert with all show info, usually a photocopy of the flyer and/or ticket stub for the show, sometimes a photo of band taken at that show, and the setlist whenever possible.  Please provide setlists for me whenever it is possible.

I'm one of the fastest out here for getting the tapes out quickly. But know that, at times, life is hectic, and you'll be put on my schedule.

If YOU contact me, YOU send first, and if I contact you, I send first.

.. if I have a lot of blank cd-rs already, you may send cash.   I don't like doing this, but--if you don't have shows to trade and I don't need more blank discs--this is the only alternative I could think of for you.   Costs are  $4/show if < 80-minutes and $7 if >80 minutes,  plus money to cover the postage to send the discs to you.
