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.

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 🙂

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.
Continue readingI 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.

So. New Years Eve 1994/95, my parents and some neighbors were having their own little New Years bash in our hot tub while the neighbor’s two kids (Lisa and Michael) hung out with me inside the house listening to KWOD. I think it was Lisa’s idea to call in to talk to the DJ, who was taking calls between playing the top 100 songs of the year. We each took a cordless phone, redialing frantically until it rang. When we got through, I couldn’t hear a DAMN THING. Maybe because we were on two phones? But that’s why you’ll hear me say “what?” every time Zog said anything (God, so embarrassing). Of course as soon as 9 year old Michael hears that we’ve made it on the radio he starts goofing off like never before, hence my “shut up, Michael!” Lisa had promised to do the talking but all she could say was, in her best Butthead impression, “uh, you’re cool”, while I pleaded with her, “Talk. Talk now. Lisa!”
Zog, if you’re out there, I want to thank you for your patience during this call. We weren’t prank callers (listening now, we probably sounded like we were). When we hung up, we went ballistic, jumping around screaming in disbelief that it just happened. You made our whole year 🙂
After that, I recorded a comedy show with Alex Bennett, I believe it’s Breakfast With Bennett.
Continue readingWarner is a serious pain in my ass. 90% of my blocked videos have been because of Warner. Unfortunately SOMETHING on this tape is blocked on Youtube and all I know is that it came from an hour+ long Paul Oakenfold mix. I am never going to be able to find it. And after going through my edit and upload process EVERY time I was emailed a copyright claim (WHY can’t they just tell me all at once?)…after more than an hour of edit, export, shrink, upload, repeat…. I am just done. That kind of shit is really taking the fun out of this.
I used Soundcloud for this one, and it looks like I’ll be using a combination of Youtube and Hearthis in the future.
End rant. Hahaha.
Continue readingAnother 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.
