Here’s a very very good night at The Alphabet Club 🙂

Tape 42
Some Movement for ya. I actually wrote the date on this tape (why didn’t more more often!) but of course I can barely read it, haha. But it might say June 16 1996, which seems about right.
Tape 37
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 🙂

Anytime 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.

Another tape where I couldn’t decide what to listen to, haha. I think I was over La Bouche and wanted to see what was going on over at The Zone or KOME or whatever else I would wander off to if KWOD wasn’t doing it for me. We start out at The Alphabet Club, then on to Shawn and Jeff and like 45 minutes of no one being able to guess the Fast Track CD. It literally takes up half the tape. Haha. The prize was a CD and tickets to the upcoming 1995 Christmas Concert on December 13.

A night at The Alphabet Club 🙂 I think this was recorded over one of my grandma’s old Oldies tapes; you can hear a creepy voice deep behind the beginning of Tesla Girls, haha.

A 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 🙂

I 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.
