I think River in the Road is criminally underrated.

Agreed, its one of my favorites.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
SONGS FOR THE DEAF (2002)

"Finally Radio Free - DJ Skits removed"

00 The Real Song For The Deaf
01 You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire
02 No One Knows
03 First It Giveth
04 A Song For The Dead
05 The Sky Is Fallin'
06 Six Shooter
07 Hangin' Tree
08 Go With The Flow
09 Gonna Leave You
10 Do It Again
11 God Is In The Radio
12 Another Love Song
13 A Song For The Deaf
14 Hidden Track
15 Mosquito Song

While amusing at first, over the years the radio skits that pepper QOTSA's classic album 'Songs For The Deaf' have become
increasing annoying, getting in the way of an overwise enjoyable listening experience. I need the songs, not a saga.

So I decided to take the time to carefully remove the skits, patching up the few song intros and outros that they (slightly)
overlapped, using other sources available:

Millionaire - 'WWF Tough Enough 2' compilation
No One Knows - 'Sample This School Boy' promo
First It Giveth - CD single
Hangin' Tree - leaked demo version (mastered by thir13en)
Go With The Flow - CD single
Do It Again - leaked demo version (mastered by thir13en)
Another Love Song - leaked demo version (mastered by thir13en)
Song For The Deaf - leaked demo version (mastered by thir13en)

Care was taken to ensure that edits are audibly invisible, and that the new gap transitions between songs are suitable.

I'd be surprised if this hasn't been done in some form by someone somewhere before, but as far as I know this is
the first time such a version of the album has been distributed over the interweb.

Given the difficulty in playing and ripping the pre-gap track 'The Real Song For The Deaf', I've included it here as a stand
alone track for anyone interested, along with the 'Hidden Track' (the rhymthic laughing version of 'Feel Good Hit') which
you may or may not want to include in this skit-free version of the album (I prefer not, personally).

This was a very satisfying project to work on, so I hope you enjoy the radio-free listen as well.

Dang - just realised I should have called this thing 'Sans Radio'...

Sounds great, man!

This really is a significant improvement.

I didn't realise how much those radio skits turned me off this record until they'd been removed.

Very nice.

On a side note it sounds like he introduces himself as Joshua Ohm. What the fuck? Does anyone know how to pronounce his last name?

Re: name....I think he's just being funny because he's on French radio
