Okay...maybe I'm stating the obvious here, but Digital Club Network may be the coolest thing EVER about having a cable modem.

Over at

They've got an ENORMOUS and I mean gigantic collection of archived live shows from your favorite known/unknown groups that all us savage little donewaiting heathens just love to fawn over.

A sampling of what awaits us, you say?

Spoon shows:


Les Savy Fav shows:


Local Heroes The Stepford Five:


Ted Leo and the Pharmacists:


Not to mention cool bands like S Process, Minus the Bear, Calla, Cursive and three shows from the freaking DISMEMBERMENT PLAN. Oh yeah, also there are old concerts from Interpol, The Strokes, etc that sound ridiculously bad. Interesting as history pieces and they really show how far the bands have come in such a short time. Other local acts might want to think of submitting video. I assume that's acceptable but since I'm not in a band I didn't look into that aspect of the site. (Denovo, Miranda Sound, I'm looking at you guys. )

I can't tell you how much fun I've had with this. I'm honestly thinking of using DCN as party background music for the forseeable future. Oh yeah, and it's FREE.

Ridiculous, beautiful, and true.

For the pleasure of your email address you get the goods.

Cable modem folks, you've gotta have it. You've gotta love it.

supersphere.com also kicks ass

It's FREE.

Anywho, the Spoon shows are really good. There's one from Little Brother's (May 01) and they open up with "Change My Life." Quite possibly / probably my favorite Spoon song and coincidentally my "lyric of the moment" as well.

Damn Loveways EP. I hate you.

I listen to shows on DCN a lot. Though I had to have someone else sign me up as their registration window is not re-sizeable and therefore unusable by those without a huge monitor. (I have since bought a new monitor).

What I want to know is why Little Brothers is listed as a participating club, yet no shows have been posted in over 2 years? Even Littlebrothers.com homepage proudly displays the DCN logo. Yet...

Could any tech savvy folks here get with Little Brothers and offer to get them back in the ball game? My Spidey Sense tells me something tech broke and noone at the club has a clue how to get it back up.
