At this point… I am 100% certain that somehow, Bizarre Love Triangle is my most recorded song. It had a resurgence, right? Maybe when the Best Of came out? I swear it’s on every tape I’ve done so far, haha. Not hating. It’s kinda funny at this point 🙂

Kris, just because KWOD uses Raincry in their promos sometimes it doesn’t mean you have to record the whole song every time they play it. Hahahaha
Late October 1994. I’d be getting Very for Christmas in a few months (and I think Discography either right before or right after thanks to my first BMG membership, haha) so I was still playing my radio recordings at this point.
I was apparently under the impression that I had to love U2’s Where The Streets Have No Name just because PSB covered it, haha.
Watch the volume, it starts terribly low then gets back to normal at 3:33.
Continue readingI think the majority of this tape was recorded in my car on a day trip to San Francisco with my family. Yeah, I actually brought a whole ass boom box on a family car ride. That probably would have been on a weekend day though, but the Modern Music Minute was a Thursday (August 17 1995). So, I dunno. Haha.
I, uh, like, apologize profusely for my, like, uh, my commentary and stuff.
Continue readingI’d cry missing Anything Box, Cause and Effect and Machine In Motion too. Killer lineup. I’d see Anything Box quite a few times like 20 years later at least, haha 😀
Continue readingAnytime you here a song fade in, that was a fun trick I learned to do with my very first stereo. I’d switch it to AUX, start recording, then switch back to FM (or cassette if I was making a copy). It would make the audio fade in. I was like 9 when I figured that out 😀
Anyway, most of this tape is a compilation I put together with my mad skillz. I would usually play these when I played basketball in the backyard with my neighbors (because nothing says bball like Always or Pandora’s Box, right?
If you haven’t noticed, I REALLY liked Always. Couldn’t get enough of it. Especially in 1994. Especially the Microbots Trance Dance Mix. When you’re 13 and your favorite group comes out with a masterpiece like Always…. Ahhhh life was good.
Continue readingThis tape is mostly Live 105’s Sunday Night Live featuring Green Day in Chicago on (I believe) November 18 1994. This broadcast miiiiight be more around Spring/Summer 1995 though based on the mention of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, but I could be wrong.

So. New Years Eve 1994/95, my parents and some neighbors were having their own little New Years bash in our hot tub while the neighbor’s two kids (Lisa and Michael) hung out with me inside the house listening to KWOD. I think it was Lisa’s idea to call in to talk to the DJ, who was taking calls between playing the top 100 songs of the year. We each took a cordless phone, redialing frantically until it rang. When we got through, I couldn’t hear a DAMN THING. Maybe because we were on two phones? But that’s why you’ll hear me say “what?” every time Zog said anything (God, so embarrassing). Of course as soon as 9 year old Michael hears that we’ve made it on the radio he starts goofing off like never before, hence my “shut up, Michael!” Lisa had promised to do the talking but all she could say was, in her best Butthead impression, “uh, you’re cool”, while I pleaded with her, “Talk. Talk now. Lisa!”
Zog, if you’re out there, I want to thank you for your patience during this call. We weren’t prank callers (listening now, we probably sounded like we were). When we hung up, we went ballistic, jumping around screaming in disbelief that it just happened. You made our whole year 🙂
After that, I recorded a comedy show with Alex Bennett, I believe it’s Breakfast With Bennett.

I believe this was February 12 1995. This is a really good Movement! But again, very crackly. I think I started recording on one side, then flipped it, and then went back to the first side again?
