Wednesday, October 10, 2012 
Back in 2008, on the occasion of Sub Pop's 20th anniversary, I wrote about the 1992 Vermonstress Festival, a 15-band, 2-day party the label threw in my hometown of Burlington, Vermont. Well, here we are in 2012, and I realized that today's date, October 10th, marks exactly two decades since that life-altering/affirming event went down. My first thought? I'm old. My second thought? I should re-share (almost all of) the ridiculously good full-set soundboard recordings from that very special weekend.
The positively stacked line-up: Codeine, Velocity Girl, Come, Drop Nineteens, Beat Happening, Buffalo Tom, Six Finger Satellite, Eric's Trip, Barbara Manning, Giant Sand, Sloan, Green Magnet School, (the real) Pond, Crow, Chris Harford, HP Zinker and home-state invitees The World According To Steve. 129 live MP3s, and this time I've saved you some effort: Here they are in one gigantic .zip file. As I mentioned when I first offered this up, the old Maxell XLII-90 cassette with Buffalo Tom and The World According to Steve's sets sadly disappeared ages ago. I think I've finally given up hope that it would find its way back to me one day. Apologies, fellow BT fans. And if anyone knows the missing titles of the HP Zinker tracks, speak up.
Enjoy...
