At the Drive In Fragments

Sound Quality 'A'.

This is by no means all the rare stuff and I didn't want to include all the rare and unreleased from the Fearless reissues or This Station Is Non Operational but this comp seems to have a nice collective floe, if you get my drift.

To note the best track off the AtDI & Sunshine split, isn't included here but it is the Sunshine track 'Streamlined', seek it out and listen to it. By seek I mean buy the 12in or cdep.

With this EP and Rolodex Propaganda CDS you have the all the Lamacq Sessions that have been issued to date. i believe that like with the John Peel sessions there are only 4 songs to the Lamacq sessions but there could have been a full length show recorded.

I'm not sure.

Sound quality 'A'.

One would think that there would be a lot of At the Drive In shows on the net, one would be wrong if that's what one thought. If you have any you want to share let me know.

I do have one more on vinyl that I'll get around to ripping one day, its live in Japan I think.

So I'm posting this one, which isn't my rip (95% percent of the postings are my rips), think the person who ript it included their name in the id3tag.

Great sounding show

At the Drive In Alfaro Vive Carajo 7in

At the Drive In's 2nd release was the EP Alfaro Vive Carajo. I've heard there are 2 different version of the cover, same art but different presentation. From what I can gather there is the image you see here and one that has the two masks shown individually and not stacked.

I personally don't know, I have this one and until I read the wiki excerpt below I didn't even know this was issued on cd.

Alfaro Vive, Carajo! was also self issued by AtDI like Hell Paso.

Wiki fun fact quote (actually the fact found in isn't very fun at all);

"Alfaro Vive, Carajo! is the second EP by At the Drive-In, released in 1995.

"Plastic Memories" is omitted from the vinyl release of the EP, and was later re-recorded and released on the El Gran Orgo EP as "Picket Fence Cartel". The back-up vocals on "Ludvico Drive-In" were done by Laura Beard and Sarah Reiser, who were friends with Bixler-Zavala and were also fellow band members in the short lived group The Fall on Deaf Ears. The two girls died in a car wreck two years later."

I loved At the Drive In, granted their early work isn't as evolved as the later In Casino Out and Relationship lps but none the less fun to listen to.

I'm the proud owner of all of AtDIs out put, I'm pretty sure, and their evolution was very enjoyable, I wouldn't recommend Acrobat over Relationship to anyone, I'd simply recommend the full discography, adding not to miss the ep Vaya either.

I'll post a few rare and OOP AtDI things, nothing that is still in print, a little live and a little odds and sods in the near future.

Fun Facts quote taken from Wiki:

"In November of 1994, using Ward's college savings, the band released their first seven-inch single, 'Hell Paso', on their own Western Breed Records." [1] The title is play on words of the band's hometown, El Paso.

The track title "Grand Mox Turkin" is a reference to the Star Wars character Grand Moff Tarkin."
