18. Someday
19. A minor 4-4
20. In Her Prime
21. This Life

It sounds like you already know a fair bit about it

Upload?

 

[vivaissy]

please please please upload!

 

[David]

Alrighty, I'm working on it right now.

Erm, somebody please explain to me how to use Megaupload, pretty please? I've never tried this before. All of the CD files are on my computer now.

 

[dallow_bg]

Do you have winzip installed? You probably do.
Right click the folder that contains all the files, or just highlight all the files and right click, and choose "add to zip" or something like that.
You should be able to create this zip file so that all the songs are kept nicely together.

Then just go to megaupload.com, look in the upper right hand corner for 'browse' choose your zip file.
then fill out the bottom categories and upload it. You'll see a progress bar, etc. When it's done, it will give you a link, and just copy that link to us.

I'm not a big Strokes fan, but I know someone who will enjoy this quite nicely.
Thanks for biting the bullet and paying for it!

Sorry if this is inconvenient.

 

[handsome devil]

Thanks very much for these, it's fine by me.

 

[WhatDifferenceDoesItMake?]

Screw inconveniance, it was hardly conveniant for you to upload them, and individually at that!

Thanks for the effort David, you sir have made my day

 

[David]

No problem! It's good that I figured out how to use Megaupload, I have some other bootlegs on CD that I could upload.

By the way, how different is the Strokes' sound in those songs labeled as "911 Sessions"?! It sort of blew my mind.

I thought they never really sounded different from what they've done on the albums...

However, I like the later sound better.

 

[David]

Of course, so do I, very interesting though.

 

[chetthespian]

There must have been a different singer on the 911 sessions. Does anyone know who it was?

 

[zeblove]

Hello, I've been searching for b-sides and rarities of The Strokes for a long time.
I stumbled on this thread through Google. I would be more than happy to pay you if you can re upload those songs, or send them to me some how! I would sincerely appreciate it. Please let me know! Contact me at: [email protected]

[joey]

Wow, I'd love to hear these as well. I found some CD singles and promos not too long ago, but I've never even heard of that.

 

[GusGonzalez]

I would truly appreciate it if you re-uploaded them again!
