I recently uploaded a bunch of Bic Runga B-sides and raretracks for a friend and figured I'd share them here, because these are all difficult enough to find if you live in NZ and probably impossible overseas. Also, a Stellar* album, because it's not available even on Aussie iTunes. IF ANY OF THESE ARE AVAILABLE WHERE YOU LIVE, PLEASE TRY TO BUY THEM.
Bic Runga
All the Bic rarities are now in a handy-dandy, easy-to-reupload .rar file (extract using winRAR!), found at Megaupload
here. If you can't get it just let me know and I'll re-up somewhere else.
This is the tracklisting of the .rar file, with some notes:
DRIVE: LIMITED EDITION BONUS CD (from the 2-disc limited ed DRIVE release)
Close the Door, Put Out the Light
Dust
Ordinary Girl
Sway (I think this might be a live version?)
Welcome to my Kitchen
You
BEAUTIFUL COLLISION LIMITED EDITION BONUS CD (um... yeah.)
Good Morning, Baby (with... holy shit, um, I'm pretty sure this is the version originally from the American Pie soundtrack, so whoever she sings with there. *checks* Dan Wilson!)
A Day Like Today
You Don't Want to Know
Gracie
Listening for the Weather (live, and I'm not sure where.)
Something Good (live, presumably same performance or tour?)
Question to Ask Me (Feat. Tim Guy, whoever he is...)
BIRDS LIMITED EDITION BONUS TRACKS: (I was really gutted that all their special features were like, vids and things, not new tracks, since I love the bonus tracks for DRIVE and BEAUTIFUL COLLISION)
Somewhere in the Night
Something's Gotten Hold of my Heart
FROM EPS:
Drive (Doordashan remix) - from the "Roll Into One" EP, along with the "Interstellar Over Drive" Mix which I REALLY REALLY REALLY want. Sigh.
Ordinary Girl (Drive "Lovesoup" EP)
Take It Out Sometimes (Drive "Lovesoup" EP)
Welcome to my Kitchen (Suddenly Strange EP)
All Fall Down (Suddenly Strange EP)
Making a Scene (Bursting Through EP)
I Don't Mean It (Sway EP)
MISCELLANEOUS OTHER JUNK:
Drive feat. Bic Runga (a Strawpeople song featuring the lovely bic, unrelated to her tune Drive. From half a dozen Strawpeople CDs - I think this one's from their Best Of.)
Lonely Lola, Cherry Cola Girl (from No Boundaries - a Kosovo Benefit Concert. I forgot to mention this in my faves, I ADORE it. Originally from the Sway EP but I don't know if this is the same version or a live version or remix of that track.)
Ashes to Ashes (live David Bowie cover - no idea from where.)
Good Morning Baby (feat Tim Finn and Dave Dobbyn in the "Together Live in Concert" tour, from that CD. Live.)
Gracie (live, from somewhere.)
Get Some Sleep (Andrew Hale Airplay Remix) -*shrug* I picked this up from the kindness of some internet stranger somewhere!
The Gift that Keeps On Giving (no freaking clue!)
You (ditto)
A couple of these are things I did not have up earlier - the Birds bonus tracks, particularly. If you would like one or two of these, feel free to leave a comment asking me to upload them separately.
Stellar* - MAGIC LINE -
rar file.
Please let me know if any of these links are broken or the files are wrong, 'cos both lots were uploaded as gifts so I should, like, fix that. :)
