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!
