November 5, 1993 | WMFO 91.5 FM

The Wayback Machine takes us way, way back to November 5, 1993. At the time I was into hardcore and punk like any angry young man from the early 90s. Even so, I still had sensitive, melancholy side to me. I was inspired to put together a show where you could turn off the lights, burn a candle and paint your nails black and tell your friends “I’d tell you what I’m feeling but—sigh—you wouldn’t understand.”

The first and last 15 minutes of the show are kind of muffled. When I digitized the original cassette the show was recorded on I discovered those parts of the show were actually playing backwards. I’m not quite sure what happened but it was easy enough to restore those sections to play properly, if muffled.

Secondly, I used a voice modulator during the show and it sounds terrible. I don’t know what compelled me to commit to it but it sounds terrible and for that, I apologize.

October 30, 1993 Halloween Special [Part 1] | WMFO 91.5 FM

I’m sure I’ve already mentioned this a dozen times or so but all the shows I’m posting to Mixcloud come from unlabeled cassettes of my shows from WMFO 91.5 FM. That means when I digitize each cassette it’s always a surprise to discover what’s on them. Today’s Halloween show from 1993 is exactly that and does it rock!

A Bazooka Joe Halloween show means Samhain and Misfits, Black Sabbath and Slayer, Voïvod and Bauhaus and so much more. It also means a wicked spoken word piece by Ryk McIntry that tells Hyde’s account of things. And it also means a live set from Veil of Thorns!!! Really, I don’t know what else what you could ask for. Oh, fine, I’ll throw in some “Monster Mash.”

  1. PSA: Give Blood
  2. Boris Mikulic “Inspired by the Devil”
