All better now 🙂
This site breaks every time it updates. My other WP blogs don’t. I am so confused.
Recordings
Tape 47
If I’m mathing right, this was recorded November 6 1994. Yay!
It’s always a good sign when a tape starts with Ambiance. I love how they’re pimping separate Anything Box and C+E shows, when years later I’d meet Keith from C+E at multiple Anything Box shows.
Tape 46
Some of the live Pet Shop Boys is the same recording from Tape 18. Looks like I made a little compilation here.
Shawn and Jeff parts are May 1995.

Here’s a very very good night at The Alphabet Club 🙂

We start this one off with Sunday Night Arena, starring Mazzy Star, which is odd because I didn’t really care for them at the time. As I don’t even remember recording this, thus, don’t remember ever hearing Mazzy Star live before, I’m quite taken by how beautiful and good it is. Maybe because I’m older and depressed so I can appreciate it now, haha.
Once again, I captured the sides in the wrong order. The Jesus and Mary Chain’s portion of Sunday Night Arena comes later at 57:35. Oops.
I have noooo clue when the majority of this tape was recorded. A contest ends April 30, Grant Hill Shoes were released in 1995, and one of the Mazzy Star songs was released in October 1996. So your guess is as good as mine 🙂

When I would score two favorite songs in a row, that was PEAK GOALS. Peak winning. Especially during a club broadcast, getting them mixed like this. On this tape, I got three in a row. I was probably losing my mind.

Some Movement for ya. I actually wrote the date on this tape (why didn’t more more often!) but of course I can barely read it, haha. But it might say June 16 1996, which seems about right.
Tape 41
My brother used to borrow this tape to listen to Punk Rock Girl; he would have been about 7 or 8, haha.
Tape 40
This tape got blocked from Youtube because of the tiny Hootie And The Blowfish snippet. C’mon, it’s an ad for the album! Hahaha. If only the AI could tell the difference.
The 24 Hour Workout ad had me curious if that eventually became 24 Hour Fitness. Didn’t find any evidence of it, but then I fell down a 24 Hour Nautilus rabbit hole (THAT’S who became 24 Hour Fitness) and found this commercial – Oh, hi Live 105’s Lori Thompson! (God that commercial has 1996 written all over it)

Supper with Schwarzmann from Bimbo’s 365! This was likely December 1996. Whenever this was, I actually remember the evening. I had the house to myself, so I took a walk to the store to get some food and soda and I listened to the show leaning out the window watching the rain 🙂
I think Supper with Schwarzmann was recorded over a bit of KWOD and The Movement from late July 1996 (based on the July 25 Super Cop release and an ad for a Cure show on August 5, which REALLY confused me when I was trying to date this tape.)
