unfortunately I have little to no information about the original rip… It’s not like i can log onto waffles or what and check, so…
But using Spek on OS X i’ve determined the average bitrate to 217 kbps, hence my classification as V1
Live album info
a real slice into xiu xiu from over a decade ago, performed mostly solo by Jamie (i think) in spartan, desperate arrangements. special shoutout to Satomi on track 5 (Thanks Japan!)
wikipedia tells us that this bad boy was “released on Italian record label Xeng less than a month before the release of La Forêt in the United States. Life and Live consists of Xiu Xiu songs that front man Jamie Stewart rendered live into acoustic guitar and vocal compositions. Tracks 3,4,8-13 appear on the 2003 release Fag Patrol, So in effect, this compilation contains all the tracks from Fag Patrol (except for an alternative version of “Asleep”), albeit in a different order. It is not known why the EP was interspersed with this release.”
cool!
