I used to trade live and rare tapes (then CD-Rs) from the mid-90's to the early 2000's, focusing on the rarer side of punk/indie/hardcore. Throughout the years I ended up having some really kick-ass stuff that, to this day, I've yet to find circulating. So instead of it all sitting in bins gathering dust, I decided to start posting the gems.

House On Fire - Live at Guilford College
Anyone who followed No Idea bands, from Gainesville in particular, might be stoked to hear this. After Panthro U.K. United 13, Alex Ulloa started House On Fire. Personally, I think this was his pinnacle. If you don't have the CDEP they self-released, find it.
Guilford Underground in Greensboro, NC, was a cafe at the college that would have shows, most notably known for having Refused play there. My friend's band, The Skorts (an acoustic duo with Rich of Twelve Hour Turn and his girlfriend), were on tour and I originally went to see them. I was pleasantly surprised to see House On Fire was playing too, and luckily I had brought my recorder.
A couple of these songs turned into Black Cougar Shock Unit songs, and one seems to be entirely lost in the ether.
