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.
