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.
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.

Continue readingWe 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 🙂

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.)

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
I 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 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.
