MP3 Boot Camp: Not Just MP3s

Sure we may call this column MP3 Boot Camp, but we’ll also highlight any shows that bloggers put up in a lossless format. Sadly, there aren’t many of them pumping out high-quality boots right now with the exception of NYCTaper. NYCTaper has posted 67 incredible shows on his site since May, and if anyone knows how to pull an audience tape, it’s this guy. Just this week he kicked down a Radiohead show from 2006, a Fiery Furnaces show from Saturday and a Sigur Ros show from that same night. Does this guy ever sleep?
