August 23, 1997 [Part 1] | WMFO 91.5 FM

What’s cool about some of these shows is that my musical selection is a touchstone to what was going on at my life when the show was originally recored. For example, on today’s show I played a track by Entrain, which means I was dating Liz and she was a huge fan. I also played “The History of the Word Fuck.” I knew Cliff from work and he sent me that audio file. You wouldn’t believe the hoops I had to jump through to burn that on to CD to play at the radio station in 1997. Anyway, Cliff and the whole crew from the office were and are very special people. The tracks by McLuhan and Kroker, Kroker & Gibson reminds me how knee-deep I was in media theory and post-modern philosophy back then.

Oh, and the music on today’s show is fantastic. Dig it.

April 12, 1997 [Part 2] | WMFO 91.5 FM

This is definitely one of my more freeform shows. It kicks off with William Gibson reading from his classic cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer, and then very quickly devolves into a hot mess of punk and hardcore. Things get switched up with a request for Galaxy 500 and morphs from indie pop to Gaelic music to dub (and one of my all time fave dub tracks) to some Icelandic music (I think) and beyond. Ph, and some Pat Boone and Billy Joel, too boot!

Today’s show finds me in Chicago. Tweet or follow me on Twitter at https://twitter.com/josephaleo to tell me what record stores to check out and whatever else I should know what’s going on in that toddling’ town.

March 8, 1997 | WMFO 91.5 FM

Today’s show from the crypt features a live set from Winterboy (http://www.winterboy.net)!

I remember seeing Winterboy busking in Cambridge and Somerville and that’s probably how I invited him to come on the show and play some of his music for us. In fact, I think he performed in the same room with me rather than the usual studio b. Which means I probably dimmed the lights for ambience, the mixing board’s buttons and sliders casting a glow. Maybe burned some incense by the window. So imagine that when you listen to today’s show.

We also get a to hear a couple minutes of Tufts sports radio. I had forgotten that was on this tape. Very cool! Too bad the time delay between the game and the station caused some on-air hiccups.

Oh, and we also hear the radio theatre version of Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, who sumsup the end of the 60s so eloquently.

Last week’s show was a blast! The cassette player I use to digitize my shows from WMFO finally died. I had to order a replacement cassette player online and in the interim I dusted off my mic and did the first Bazooka Joe Show in something like 12 years. The show got a lot of listens, which gratifies. But my new cassette player has arrived so it’s time to step into the Wayback Machine and travel to March 8, 1997.

Today’s show is a doozy. Freeform, of course, but with a psychedelic-pop-punk-electronica-dub vibe. Oh, and we also get to hear William Gibson read from his cyberpunk novel, Neuromancer.

March 1, 1997 | WMFO 91.5 FM

Wow. I had forgotten how great some of my old shows from WMFO were and today’s set is from March 1, 1997. It’s killer. Not only do we get to hear a track from one of my favorite hardcore bands, Agnostic, but we also get to hear my favorite hardcore band from Boston, Wrecking Crew! Keith Bennett, where are you?

But it doesn’t stop there because I follow it up with some Negative Approach and the Misfits! But it’s a freeform show so naturally to dips into psychedelic music, world music, hip hop, pop and even some spoken word. Oh, and a PSA from Carl Sagan! How cool is that?

I played a track from Graham Central Station because my buddy Paul was so enamored with their sound. I also played a guilty pleasure—Color Me Badd’s “I Wanna Sex You Up.” And not their album version, which sucks, but the track that was featured in the New Jack City soundtrack. Also, some wonderful r&b hip hop from The Family Stand with “Ghetto Heaven.” There’s also a disco version of the Star Wars theme. And then a weird folk/cajun/psychedelic jam. Hey, I told you it was a freeform show.

Bonus: we get to hear a medley of weirdness from he beginning of the Mental Notes show!

Today the Wayback Machine takes us back to December 28, 1996. I’m spinning an epic mix of psychedelic tunes from The Beatles to Mazzy Star, and then some mournful rock by the likes of Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley and then a melange of electronica, dub, experimental music and close with the banshee wailing of Diamanda Galas.

And that’s only part one! It’s shows like today’s show that is the reason I’ve been digitizing my old cassettes from deejaying at WMFO 91.5 FM. Now stream this mix and kiss the sky!

November 30, 1996 Part 2 | WMFO 91.5 FM

It’s a Saturday afternoon and I’m about to head out to Radio Pulso del Barrio’s launch party here in San Diego but before I do I’m going to share another show from the vault. This one is from November 30, 1996. As usual, it’s a freeform show and this one encompasses everything from the Beatles psychedelia to some meaning dub to some lovely reggae to some sweet rockabilly (from El Vez to Elvis!) to some comedy to some industrial and some oud and ragas and hip hop. Whew! But that’s freeform for you.

Okay, I’m out.

November 9, 1996 [Part 1] | WMFO 91.5 FM

The Wayback Machine drops us smack in the middle of WMFO’s fall fundraiser of 1996. Fellow DJ Steve Howard and I asked for your contributions and I had a meager goal of raising $20 during my first hour. Twenty bucks! Were things really so inexpensive at the end of the century? Anyway, Steve and I played some great music to entice listeners to donate to the cause of freeform music from a freeform station.

Speaking of Steve check his show on Mixcloud at MentalNotesFreeform Steve now spins at Asheville FM via internet radio. Steve’s station is fundraising to become a terrestrial radio station as well! Asheville FM is hyper local and has a lot of heart. Learn more at http://www.ashevillefm.org

We talk to Mancy and too be honest, I’m terrified to listen to the interview because I was young and dumb. Even more terrifying, I wasn’t that young. I’m some time I had had a few drinks in me. Even so, I’m posting this show, warts and all. Who knows, maybe I can muster up the courage to listen to the interview. And even if the interview is terrible, the music on today’s show is awesome! Dead Can Dance, Big Black, Judy Garland and, for some reason, a lot of Cure. And lots of other stuff, of course.
