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.

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 🙂

Tape 34

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.

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.
