Comment:

I might have made more mix tapes during this season, but while compiling this one, my dual cassette deck failed (18 January 1995). Deck #1, the playback-only deck, was erroneously clutching forward into fast playback mode. It was still under warranty, so I brought it back to Abt Electronics in Niles, where I had bought it some six months earlier. I didn't get it back until March. That was not completely surprising, since I was doing a lot of concentration with the prospective POWER franchise purchasing consortium.
I wanted to see how long I could go with instrumental selections. I went six deep. My version of "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" was the 7-inch single version (on a beer-sponsored premium cassette), so it didn't have its full instrumental opening. I did throw on some tracks which were mildly trendy here: "Stay" by Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories, and "This Wheel's On Fire", of which a newer version was being used as the theme music for 'Absolutely Fabulous' on cable satellite TV. Keenly enough, the track which did get me some attention, Jonathan Richman's "Road Runner" was a 'bonus track'. I had some space left on the end of Side A, and could fit a short song onto there. Since we had played (and won) a game in Massachusetts, I remembered this song.
And to whomever "considered leaving them off the list (of 'Robot Rock & Roll', for their song "Robot Girl" [#201]) simply for being the worst band ever" in _Roctober #30_, I thought Was (Not Was) was a pretty good combo, and I redirect your attention to "Anything Can Happen".
