The Wayback Machine is set for June 1, 1996. The format? Freeform. This is a lovely show chock full of reggae and dub, a rare demo of The Beatles “Strawberry Fields Forever”, some exotica from Lalo Schifrin and the Vampyros Lesbos soundtrack, some punk, metal and rock for good measure. We also pay our respects to Timothy Leary, who passed the day before. Come on in, the water’s fine!

Freeform as usual but here are a few highlights. I played a track from Alice Coopers foray into new wave rom their Flush the Fashion LP. You heard me. Alice Cooper. New wave. We’ll also hear Tom Zé deconstructing Tropicália. John Cage doesn’t play 4′33″ of silence. Keola Beamer plays some mournfully beautiful Hawaiian slack-key guitar. And some how I manage to play Enya and Pantera on the same show. Yeah, I did that.
