"Deftest" To Be Auctioned On May 19th, 2022

[SuperAgentAlex]

Really disappointing this turned out the way it did, really hope she releases the full tape at some point. The brief bit of Deftest we have is sick and the archivist in me is bothered that we don't have the full thing online.

Bothers us too, and every time we try to make some progress on ti we hit a dead end. We'll convene with @SerioDrew and see if we can think of anything else.

I haven't mentioned it yet, but now that you've brought it up, someone commented on my YouTube video of the fixed version of "Deftest" a couple weeks ago, saying this:

my cousin have the full song along with the 4 tracks EP and the a 2 track demo tapes and also 2 singles tracks cassettes
he have : 
4 tracks EP
Rhinestone
Reading My Eyes
Fuse
Stick N Move 
Dialate & Deftest (2 tracks cassette)
Unknown Song 1 and a Xero song with Mark and a bit of Mike that's sound like She Couldn't.
my cousin also told me that at his mom's house he have other stuff with in total more than 16 Xero songs.

 

I replied back to him if it's legit and if there's proof. He replied back with this:

i can't show you, i don't have any rigthts and i don't wanna have trouble with Linkin Park.

 

I replied back to that comment asking if he has a Discord and never responded back to me, so, unfortunately, I guess that's a dead end, as well, unless you guys can try to ask him about, somehow.

 

He could be lying, too, for all we know.

That feels a bit too convenient to me personally...

 

Also didn't Mike say that "She Couldn't" was written from scratch when Chester joined the band, or something to that effect? Aside from the scratch sample not existing prior to 1999, obviously.

I d k man sounds like cap to me, can't really believe it unless there's genuine proof of it, Xero stuff is really rare, for example Jeff Blue and the Band itself has all the stuff, like there's a few people that got some stuff thats either from auditioning for Xero back then or being with the records labels back then. So the odds are really low that someone has different cassettes or EPs etc.

Idk man, all that sounds waaaay too good to be true, if he provides no proof then he is more than likely lying.
