Today\u2019s show from the crypt features a live set from Winterboy (http:\/\/www.winterboy.net)!<\/a><\/p>\n

I remember seeing Winterboy busking in Cambridge and Somerville and that\u2019s 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\u2019s buttons and sliders casting a glow. Maybe burned some incense by the window. So imagine that when you listen to today\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Oh, and we also hear the radio theatre version of Hunter S. Thompson\u2019s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, who sumsup the end of the 60s so eloquently.<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s 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\u2019s time to step into the Wayback Machine and travel to March 8, 1997.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s 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<\/em>.<\/p>\n
