Tape 44

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 🙂

(God that commercial has 1996 written all over it)

Tape 39

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.)
