Foo Fighters B-Sides

SpartanacusSpartanacus San Diego Posts: 794
Hey all.  I've liked the Foo Fighters from the beginning (being a huge Nirvana fan, etc.).  But now I'm in 'obscure track huntdown mode.'  
They are #1 on my concert bucket list and I have all their easily available/purchasable music.  But after finding a spin.com article ranking all 152 songs, I was shocked to see I don't own about 40 of their songs, mostly b-side tracks.  The easiest way to knock off about a dozen would be to locate 'Medium Rare.'  Does anybody who may have mp3's of this, and other b-sides want to do some mp3 trading???  I have 11K songs on the ipod classic and will gladly repay you three-fold if you can hook me up.  I also don't have '5 songs and a cover' EP.  No luck on itunes.  Will try amazon music, but if there are any huge FF fans who can help a brother out, I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks!

    Pretty sure there will be several but it was never officially released for some reason. It was on a lot of live bootleg cds from that era.
  • I have a bunch of B-Sides at home. PM me if anyone needs anything. That way I have an email reminder.

    I'm 100% sure that when I saw that a few months ago, you said you were going to give me your vinyl copy.  I jotted it down.  It's an oral contract.  Still waiting.  At least I get can the FLAC as interest payment.
