It&#8217;s often referred to in discussions here as either the &#8220;Chess&#8221; edition or the &#8220;Basement,&#8221; depending on the tint of veterans&#8217; glasses. Regardless, Olde School RTHers still share the occaisional <em>deep cut<\/em> and rarity with each other, in private. It&#8217;s almost always cool stuff, and today I&#8217;m dragging a few of these tracks to The Main Stage. Thanks, old friends!<\/p>\n<p>Along with some <strong>basement tapes<\/strong> that I&#8217;m hauling into the light of day, I&#8217;m posting a few <strong>room-clearer<\/strong> songs that were sent to me offlist. We discussed the concept of room-clearing records a few weeks back, and a few Townspeople wanted to share their go-to room clearers. More than Townspeople themselves, the tired mates of Townspeople will thank you for helping get the last nerdy guests to leave.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve mixed the basement tapes with the room clearers. Some Townspeople may find one category of songs interchangeable with the other.
