The audio on some of this tape is just abysmal. But it’s still kinda cool 🙂 I date parts of it July 4-7 (from Glastonbury ’96 in the beginning) and possibly July 14 (being the Sunday after the release of Electronic’s Raise The Pressure 🙂 )
By the way the entire Glastonbury broadcast is available at archive.org – rad!
Continue readingThis tape’s aiight. Very crackly through most of it, I’m sorry about that. But I’m serious guys WHAT was with my obsession with Interlude? I’ve got one other tape with it thus far but there are many more I’ve found. I wasn’t that particularly into Morrissey. I wasn’t that particularly into Siouxsie. Maybe as a sullen wannabe goth I thought I HAD to like it? Ugh. Who understands 13 year olds anyway. haha.
Continue readingA delightful evening at The Alphabet Club 🙂 Then suddenly it switches to 100.5 The Zone, a different station I didn’t usually listen to, to record Morrissey. I remember thinking The Zone was like… Diet KWOD. KWOD Lite. KWOD with Nutrisweet. Anyway, then we’re thrust back to KWOD for another delightful evening at The Alphabet Club 🙂
Continue reading3/4 of this tape is Alphabet Club, taped December 3 1995, and the rest is regular radio / Shawn and Jeff. Be careful of that Fasttrack CD towards the end, I swear it could induce a seizure. Also, there are some pretty loud instances of crackling sounds scattered around the second side, I’m sorry 🙁

A little bit of Ambiance, a little bit of Shawn & Jeff, and a call to a comedy club because I had no friends and liked to listen to recorded messages. ;D
The first side is the week of December 18 1994… The second side is, I believe, October 30 1994. That side REALLY slow and warbly in some places, haha. I used to use and reuse tapes so many times, ugh *shame*
Continue readingI used to make my own compilations, and it looks like a big chunk of side A on this tape was a compilation of all the live Erasure I’d collected to this point, haha. Then it goes into some Alphabet Club for a while, then some pretty hard Movement stuff (Ministry to Nitzer Ebb to KMFDM = perfect block, haha) then some more Alphabet Club.
The majority of this tape was probably recorded in ’95, but I had caught wind of a new OMD song being played on Live 105 in the summer of ’96. To get Live 105 at my house, I had to rig a wire from my boom box’s antennae out my window and up to my roof. Worth it! I was able to catch Walking On The Milky Way twice this way. I wouldn’t be able to get my hands on the Universal album until about 2000.
Continue readingThis was recorded during the “Modern Evolution Weekend” on KWOD – which, as far as I could tell, meant it was a weekend of playing blocks (by the same artist, or from the same decade, etc). There’s mention of bands I don’t recall them playing usually (Xymox, for example) so it sounds like they dug deep in the alternative vaults for some of them, hehe.
