DiscLive, I appreciate the work that went into my recording. And I can understand the frustrarinons of those that are not able to take recordings home after their show now. I'm sure any hostiliites are not directed at you.

very disappointing this whole thing. but i don't think this is disc live's fault and it reeks. i heard the same thing too and checked out the above story. i found pixiesdiscs.com info from network solutions site registration:
Administrative & Technical Contact: Jacob Walker JDub and Eman 45 Bowdoin Street Apartment 3 Boston, MA 02114
<a href="http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/whois/results.jhtml;jsessionid=MQ2GABFQYKG5ICWKEAQCFFA?whoistoken=4&_requestid=876634">pixiesdiscs.com registration</a>
'Jake Walker' is listed as one of the original founders of disc live - <a href="http://www.disclive.com/corporate/history.php">Walker</a> he is apparently one of the mutineers listed in this thread. it is rather strange that right after november ends and disc live isn't doing any more pixies shows walker's website suddenly pops up. I smell a rat! Seems like a setup to me. if what the poster says above is true, it sounds like disc live got a raw deal while trying to give fans some thing they really want. Too bad. especially for the fans, and probably for the Pixies to since they won't be getting all of that extra income from 'impulse' buys. i hope charles reads this thread so he can see first hand how his management treats his band and his fans. i say boycott pixiesdisc.com. buy the november shows , the 'real deal' from disclive.com. support musician, free enterprise, and nice people at disc live who it looks like worked very hard just to get screwed. makes you wonder if the management screws the band too. |

I think we know a lot more about Jake Walker than we do about Devon467, who has posted 5 times (http://forum.frankblack.net/search.asp?mode=DoIt&MEMBER_ID=6062), each time to tell people that "DiscLive are still selling discs." Anyone want to guess who Devon467 might work for?
I'm not about to get into a pissing match here, and explain myself, except to defend myself against baseless accusations. I live in Boston. I went to see the Pixies at the first show in Lowell and only then found out that DiscLive as no longer on the tour, at which time I proposed to the band that I could help them to continue to sell CDs to their fans. DiscLive was already gone at that point.
What "Devon467" doesn't show you from his lookup of the pixiesdiscs.com domain name is this:
Created: December 2, 2004 Modified: December 2, 2004
Created two days after DiscLive was no longer on the tour. The fact of the matter is that there was no master plan and no conspiricy. I, along with a friend and former collegue with the "original" DiscLive put together a team that included a first rate designer, an excellent fulfillment company, and an excellent CD production/replication company and made it work, all on Thursday and Friday -- AFTER DiscLive was already gone. If it weren't for our efforts, there would be no discs now.
It just so happens that we're going to put out an excellent product: CD Baby will take care of shipping and all customer service issues related to shipping. We'll produce super-premium CDs with pictures from the show, and with the setlist on the case. We'll engineer the CD's so that they sound excellent. And we'll make sure that fans that go to the rest of the shows on this tour get their discs, in good time and in excellent quality. And we'll sell the discs at each concert, as well as online. Quite simply - we'll get the job done. Always have.
I'm done, because I don't think fans care about this one bit. They know that the band and its management make decisions that are in the bands interest and in their fans interest. But if you do have a concern about it, feel free to e-mail me so I can share with you my side of the story. My name is Jake Walker, and you can e-mail me at crew@pixiesdiscs.com. |

I like Jake. He's a stright shooter. Plus CDBaby's a real good company. I'm real happy to be getting disc for the NY shows. Thanks.

Jake's a good guy. Fuck the new disclive, using some fake user name is really stupid especially considering that Jake and co. have been up front with who they are from day one and not try to pull some grassroots covert marketing crap.

how nice for all of our competing disc recorders to join us in this forum for an afternoon pissing contest. sounds like everyone needs to get over themselves just a bit and start telling the truth. there must be a few people out there that know what the hell happened are willing to tell it. perhaps we will hear it one day from a reliable source and not from these idiots who all seem to be lying about something. the truth is out there. it's in the cookies. |
