mp3 of the day
On this day in 2002, The Mountain Goats released the album, Tallahassee. After releasing cassettes (and records) on indie labels like Shrimper and Ajax for years, Tallahassee was the first Mountain Goats album to be released on the much larger British alternative rock label 4AD. It was also the first album to feature an actual "band." Mountain Goats releases prior to this had either been solo cassette recordings by John Darnielle or higher-quality recordings featuring Rachel Ware on bass. On Tallahassee, Darnielle was joined by two past collaborators, and former Nothing Painted Blue members Peter Hughes and Franklin Bruno. The album was co-produced, recorded, and mixed by producer Tony Doogan at Tarbox Studios in Cassadaga, New York. Michael Ivins of The Flaming Lips assisted. Today we have a live recording of Peter's Ring Tone from a MOUNTAIN GOATS' show in 2003.

would this be called a bootleg ringtone recording?
There's this one bootleg of the mountain goats playing "The Boys Are Back in Town" and at the end John just starts wailing out "Ignition (remix)" and it's one of my favorite things ever.
