Hey everyone, hope you're well :)
A quick IIMA update:
1. Added the song "The Batman" to the "Shielded From The Glances" compilation.
2. Added three bonus tracks to the live show @ Gold Diggers, the first song is an instrumental from the "How To Make The Cruelest Month" soundtrack, the second is an alternate version of "This Day" performed @ Elsewhere, Brooklyn, NY, and the third is an alternate version of "Wandering The Fields" performed @ Frannz Club, Berlin, DE.
I hope you like it.
Take care
Cheers
Tony

Hi friends,
I just updated the "Shielded From The Glances" compilation by adding the new "Control" demo that appeared on Jeff's YouTube channel.
This version of Control has benefited from the addition of an EQ track (the main track and the master), but I didn't try to dig deeper to achieve a rounder bass sound. Indeed, the guitar's flanger effect seems to inflate the low frequencies, especially when the bass kicks in. The balance is very fragile, and the slightest change quickly saturates the sound.
Another change: I shortened the track by 5 seconds.
I hope you like this version.
Enjoy!
Take Care Friends
Cheers
Tony

This is fantastic stuff, thanks again Tony. That 'grey' single, too - wow!!
Any chance of making these more recent offerings downloadable??

Hi friends,
I hope you're all well :)
Some news on IIMA: the show from 03/01/25 at the Gold Diggers Bar appeared on YouTube in pretty decent quality.
So I recovered this show to "clean it up" a bit and to cut it up.
The image and colors used for the artwork are a mix of references to the artworks of Lapse, the "Drive It" single (especially the UK CD version), and the use of pastel tones is a little nod to Robby and Pools. :D
I hope you like it, here's the link:

Take care, friends.
Cheers
Tony
PS: The version of "Throw The Game" in this show is just amazing, it almost sounds like King Crimson at the end, it's just incredible!

Hello friends,
I hope you're doing well :)
A new little addition to IIMA, slightly different from the usual additions as it is not from the IDAHO era but rather from the pre-IDAHO era.
I found "Wait Until Dark" and "Look" from Grey's 7" on Youtube, so I made an audio version to which I took the opportunity to add the song "Never Back Again" as a bonus.
A little 11 minute time capsule of new wave/synthpop concocted by John & Jeff.
I hope you like it.
Take care of yourselves friends. ;)

Hello friends,
I hope you're doing well :)
What a pleasant surprise on Sunday! A video concert from 96, Jeff it's a little gem that you gave us, thank you for this gift!
As usual in recent weeks, I took the opportunity to make an audio version of this show at Borders for IIMA.
After consulting the archives of slidingpast.com, I saw that "God's Green Earth" was not present, so I replaced it with the version of "If You Dare" available on idahomusic.com in 1999 (it's was a long time ago^^) this live version of "If You Dare" is present on the compilation "People Like Us Vol.2" however when it was posted on the site in 1999 the sound seemed less worked and more raw (in any case it sounds different), so I found it interesting to integrate it into the show at Borders to make a mini compilation, this new compilation is called "Trying To Get Back There" in reference to the tour video from 1996 of the same name on Jeff's YouTube channel.
For the artwork, I used a drawing that was used to illustrate a page on idahomusic.com in the early 2000s (thank you internet wayback machine^^)
I hope you like it.
While waiting for the box set which will arrive soon, only a few weeks left! :)
Take care of yourselves friends.
Cheers.

Hi friends,
Thx Alex for your kind words :)
I made a small update of the "Getaway Along The Coast" compilation, I added four bonus tracks, these include the versions of "Across The Sky" and "Fuel" performed at the Troubadour of which Jeff added the videos on his YouTube channel recently as well as two instrumental pieces "Launch Drone" and a Segue used for the introduction of Social Studies during the '00 tour.
Besides that, I added the links to the YouTube videos from Jeff's channel whose songs are present on IIMA, this concerns the compilation "Getaway Along The Coast" and the show performed at Gleis 22.
I hope you like this little addition.
Take care of yourselves friends

You're awesome, Tony. Amazing work as always. Thank you.
RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from TonySep 11 2024 - 15:15
Hello friends, I hope you are well :)
In my last post, I thought that IIMA would be on pause for a long time and then finally not really, but now, it’s sure, I have nothing more in my archives. :D
Jeff recently posted on his youtube channel some videos of the shows of Laspe Tour, so I decided to make an audio version and compiled from these recordings, this first compilation includes about twenty songs, the sources were really very good so it gave me the opportunity to make a little sound polishing quite easily.
Secondly, for 3 years there were some pieces of the 2021 tour that had emerged here and there on the web, the quality was not exceptional but nothing had been reworked, I had set myself to try to do something to remedy this but until now, I had not really taken the time to do it, it is finally done. It was not easy given the quality, there were in all 32 songs spread over 4 shows, I only retained 12 to make this second compilation and the result is quite surprising, it sounds like an old bootleg from the 90s and the playlist is really very eclectic, I find the result quite nice.
So to sum up, two new compilations ("This Way Across The Plains" and "Getaway Along The Coast") documenting the 2021 and 2024 eras are available (only in streaming) on IIMA and, finally, I was able to credit Robby on compilations of IIMA, Robby was already on "Shielded From The Glances" but this compilation is so big that I had made the decision to mention only the sources and not all musicians and technicians who participated in these recordings, this was the reason why Robby did not appear in the credits until now, now the error is fixed.
Here you are friends, I hope you will like these compilations, I wish you a good end of day (in music of course ).
Take care of yourself

RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from TonyJun 06 2024 - 20:32
Hello friends, 2024 is the year of IDAHO, definitely!
To celebrate the release of the new album LAPSE, the documentary Traces Of Glory (scheduled for release on streaming platforms in 5 days, 06/11/24) and reissues of the first three albums (scheduled for the end of year according to the information on the Arts & Crafts website) I decided to rework the IIMA bandcamp page a little and add a few things.
So what's new?
For the visual part, most of the artworks were redone in a better resolution, I also finally found a way to integrate the real IDAHO logo.
For the sound part, I added a few pieces to the downloadable compilation "People Like Us Shouldn't Keep Old Tapes" (of which I also redid the artwork which was originally marked too much TLG while the content was much broader and ecletic) the tracks added are "Evolution Is Cold", "Sweep", "Forever", "Alta Dena" & two Segues including one which is none other than "Autumn In Paris"
Finally, I added two complete streaming shows, one dating from 1995 and the other from 1996, so with the 1993 show which was already present, this, I hope, will allow us to deepen the experience of traveling through the world of IDAHO in the early to mid 90s while waiting for the boxset to be released at the end of the year.
As everything has an end, I think these will be the last additions on this bandcamp page, maybe I will do some visual finishing touches here and there but regarding the sound part, I have reached the end of my archives, even if, I still have a few shows left, most of the things not heard so far have been posted or are officially available in a much better quality.
There you go, I hope you enjoyed this sharing of archives, friends. :)
I thank Jeff for his kindness, his help, as well as for giving me permission to put all this online and of course for his music.
I also thank Brian Carter for his site which is exceptionally rich in information, without which I would not necessarily have had all the information to document all of these recordings.
And finally, I would like to thank all my French, Italian, English and American friends with whom I was able to exchange "year after year" (you can't make this up^^) and without whom all this would not have been possible.
Have a good time
Bye friends ;)
Tony

Hi friends, hi Jeff, hi Will, no worries about the response time, there are no emergencies my friend, for my part, I'm going to try to contact a YouTuber who has made interesting remasters of the first Nirvana shows (the 87/88 period when they were still called Ted Ed Fred) and Dave Grohl's first demo (Late!) to see if he would be interested in helping me remaster some IDAHO shows. Very nice little story about this recording at the Reckless store, thank you for this anecdote, it's always cool to know a little more about the history of a recording :)
RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from WillFeb 16 2024 - 22:52
Hey Tony! Sorry, just now checking back in on this. I do have the cassette somewhere still! I must’ve made the digital version, not sure how I even did it. But I think I was passing it around some back in the old old days of this message board. I’ll look around for my original mp3 rip and inspect it and pass it along. It was literally just a cheap-ish handheld cassette recorder, so audio probably is what it is. I think I literally ran down to the Walgreens and bought it minutes before they played. There’s actually the tail end of John Berry sarcastically threatening to kick my ass for bootlegging them at the very beginning of the recording if I recall!
RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from JeffJan 16 2024 - 18:19
To y!! Maya Rudolph went to the same high school as I and was dating Idaho’s bassist John Gold at the time. She just tagged along for the European part of the ‘00 tour and sang backup on some songs. She found out she got the SNL job while we were out there :)
RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from TonyJan 16 2024 - 17:22
Hi Will,
do you still have the recording of the show at Reckless? I remember finding this show on the web a long time ago but I'm not sure my source is the best, would it be possible for you to share this recording? I would like to see if it is possible to replace the current version with a better version.
Oh just for info, it's me who is behind this archive bandcamp page, to clarify a little the history of this bandcamp page, during the COVID period, I contacted Jeff to ask him for authorization to put this page online, we subsequently exchanged a little bit on this subject and with his agreement, this page saw the light of day, I was able to read here and there that the people who had visited it were wondering why the download was not active, to be clear, this is simply copyright, I am not the owner of these works, the purpose of this page is only to be a promotional tool for Jeff and IDAHO, my intention has always been with the aim of helping and not harming IDAHO, incidentally I wanted to create a music archive page that could properly respond to the archives contained on Brian Carter's site (SlidingPast), although the link was embedded in the previous version of the official IDAHO website (a big thank you to Jeff and Julien for that), Idaho Internet Music Archive (IIMA) was never really an official page but a fan page for fans, a little place allowing fans of Jeff's music to discover another side of IDAHO and to wait before the release of a new album. I would also like to point out that only the latest compilation can be downloaded given that it is made up of live tracks that were available on this forum a few years ago. That’s the little story of IIMA.
Tony
RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from WillJan 09 2024 - 19:45
Wow, how am I just finding out about this rarities bandcamp? Amazing to have all this stuff compiled. Curious about Maya Rudolph singing with you, Jeff. Was she on that whole 2000 tour? I saw you in Windsor and Chicago, so curious if she would’ve been at either.
Incidentally, I recorded that in-store at Reckless—cool see it pop up on this Bandcamp!
RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from TonyNov 05 2023 - 22:55
Thanks Jeff for the clarification, I updated the credits ;)

That's Maya Rudolph on backing vocals on Bass Crawl track 6 :) She heard she got the job on SNL while on tour with us in 2000

Hello friends,
To celebrate the vinyl reissue of TLG and those to come of Alas and The Forbbiden EP, a new compilation (downloadable this time) is born, this last one regroups songs recorded between 1998 and 2015, I apologize in advance for the quality because the sources were not the cleanest, I tried to do what I could to improve them but I’m not a sound engineer, just a web archivist lol A big thank you to Jeff for giving me his permission, I hope you enjoy despite the average quality.

A little end-of-year gift from Jeff, a demo made in 1999 from the Hearts Of Palm recording sessions, thank you for everything Jeff ;)

Hi friends :)
I just updated the idahointernetmusicarchives page adding three songs on the Shielded From the Glances compilation, the songs are: Be My Friend, Structure (rehearsal 21) and The Power (rehearsal 21). Enjoy! ;)
RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from DaveDec 23 2020 - 08:34
Thanks for the reply Jeff. That's great news that another rarities collection is due. Been playing 'We Were Young And Needed The Money' this week, I love it. Hopefully individual tracks can be purchased from that Caroline LP box set for those who don't have a turntable, that is if Star and Hail Mary aren't already on the Idaho rarities comp. Looking forward to the documentary too. Is a new album still in the works?
RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from JeffDec 22 2020 - 19:10
Hello Dave!! I'm so glad you are digging the rarities. I really don't have anything to do with the page though. Tony, if i remember correctly, has his reasons for only allowing it to be streaming. Most of this stuff is going to come out in '21 on an Idaho unreleased record anyway so you will have to wait I guess?
Star and Hail Mary will be on the Arts&Crafts LP box site of all the Caroline records....hoping that's in '21 as well.
RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from DaveDec 22 2020 - 07:39
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for help in getting those audio rarities up on the archive page. As a CD user (yes, we still exist!) I've been trying to get hold of songs like the vinyl only Star & Hail Mary for so long. The archive songs are currently streaming only, are there any plans to make them available for download, either as 'pay what you like' or fixed price?
I realise that even this is a slightly outdated concept to many these days, but I still like to collect audio files for music that's unavailable on CD such as many of these random rarities, to play on my iPod whilst travelling, and in places where I can't rely on internet connection for streaming. I can't be the only one who would appreciate having the files to play rather than streaming them. Its great that they are up to stream for free, but I would happily support you in paying for these great archive collections to get them as downloads if the option was there.
RE: IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from amaraApr 08 2020 - 23:06
omg this is so exciting! ive wanted to listen to some of them for a while :)
IdahoMusic's mp3 archive bandcamp page | from TonyApr 01 2020 - 14:28
Hi friends,
A bandcamp page of audio archives was created (with the agreement of Jeff*), this page covers a period of more than 20 years (1992 - 2015), we find demos, b-sides, rarities, instrumentals and live shows with different line up (solo, duo, trio and quartet), you can find it here :
https://idahointernetmusicarchives.bandcamp.com/
Enjoy !
*Once again, a huge thank you my friend ! :)
