My brother used to borrow this tape to listen to Punk Rock Girl; he would have been about 7 or 8, haha.
Tape 41

Tape 25
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.

Way back on Tape 4 I mentioned the story behind Over Exposure and hoped it was on another tape… well, got some of it here at least, haha. I tried to date this tape using the Melrose Place promo but I failed, boo.
When I recorded this, it was the first time I ever heard PSB’s Where The Streets Have No Name, and I played this tape to death until I got Discography a few months into the 8th grade, so the best I can estimate is that it’s another Summer of ’94 tape 🙂 (siiiiigh. what a great summer.)

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.

This 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.
