Sledbed, The Brobecks archive guy. I guess that's my legacy. I collect media, and dig up lost media when it piques my interest. 21 now, yeesh. He/They and a secret third. DMS always open for brobecks related questions and other none brobecks related things. brobecks doesn't even sound like a word anymore
Woah jeez oops I dropped my uhhmmmm unnecessarily comprehensive spreadsheet on an incredibly niche topic right out in the open I'm so clumsy oh gosh my bad guys
I love spreadsheets, can't get enough of them
Blacked out for a few days and made this one
Organized every Brobecks track and every iteration thereof into one sheet, showing the highest quality I've been able to obtain such a thing in over the years (there is still some overlap but it wouldn't be brobecks if it wasn't super complicated)
This gets all the information in one place should any unfortunate events befall me before I manage to finish the wiki, this life is unpredictable 馃悷
May update with downloads for things I can share in the future, but for now people can contact me if they need something
Sled do you know how the boys feel towards each other? I know some are okay with certain people. Obviously this is none of our business but curiosity looms.
Some of them still talk and work with each other frequently, some of them don't talk to each other at all. Naturally with a band that broke up the way they did in 2007 there's some distaste between them and that's probably a large part of why the full discography won't be on streaming anytime soon.
But ultimately I think they're all moved on, 2007 was a long long time ago
Individual song pages have started being worked on because i'm procrastinating other parts of the website. I have a chord sheet for this track but i'm not sure how I want to go about implementing those yet (and while i'm on the topic if you happen to make tablature for Brobecks songs I'd like to include them on the wiki. I know getting guitar/bass & drum parts down for every song just ain't gonna happen cause I don't have the ears for it but I'd like to at least have a little on the site)
have you ever talked to any of the guys regarding archiving?? are they happy about it?
Yes I've spoken to most of the people who have been in the band at one point or another about the project, and they're naturally a source of most of the goodies and information we've been able to dredge up about the band. Generally speaking they think it's neat people are preserving the bands history. Most of them have moved on with their lives in the last 20 years onto other things though so I try not to bug them too much
hi Sled, thanks for all the archiving you do. As a fellow internet archiver and Brobecks enthusiast of 6 years I was wondering if you鈥檇 ever be interested in extra help or if you鈥檇 recruit others for archival purposes..
Thank you for the interest, generally speaking most of the archive work for the band is done, everything that could be dredged from the Internet and given from past members has been gotten and catalogued (on a spreadsheet at least, the wiki is taking more time)
Anything else the other members feel like tossing out at some point is a bonus, like the old music videos and whatnot, but that's entirely up to them and as someone that's asked before I wouldn't hold your breath.
I would like to make the wiki so that people can help but right now as a basic WordPress site I'm not really sure how to set that up, it's something I'm looking into
I've been uploading some all in one Brobecks videos lately since there seems to be at least a niche market for such things. If you want background noise here be dragons
It's still so funny to me that aside from the Everyone's A Jerk MV the only surviving Brobecks music video we have is this video of Creep You Out from before they even recorded The 4th Of JuLive, what is Scott doing, what motivated them to create this.
A complete archive of everything we have from the band 1000 West (Dallons highschool band), it contains both CDs we have in the best quality available, several original files of footage from the band, all of the pictures we have and some assets some friends have made. Old website skeletons, screenshots of their old site (as navigating it is rather hard and there's honestly not much to see) and a text document of all the information I have on the band. Wowzer. Enjoy
Did some quick lil visual guides to Brobecks albums so people can have the credits/release dates on hand. They don't feel super necessary but I may make them for the EPs/other stuff too if people are interested
Plugging this again because so frequently someone will be like what the hells this random old brobecks file I found from, or instead categorizes everything that isn't violent things as "unreleased" (which is incorrect).
Do some learning
Or don't actually
It doesn't matter
