Comment:

this should really be subtitled "how college radio saved my life." kunm in albuquerque had a punk show on thursdays that i would tape as much of as possible and then listen to over and over and over again, feverishly tracking down band names and trying to figure out song titles and then heading to bow wow records or natural sound in search of precious vinyl. from sometime around september of 1990, this is the only one of those tapes that has survived into the 21st century. needless to say, it blew my 17 year-old mind and was a major influence on my developing musical tastes. by now, it's become a highly cherished relic from a long lost era, full of all the things that make college radio fun and exciting: great songs, spots for upcoming shows and for various programs on kunm, funny miscues by the amateurish dj's, with a few local bands thrown in as well. it's also a telling document of those pre-nevermined times: metal was still influencing punk to some extent and grunge was beginning to register on the national subconscious. anyway, i finally tracked down that culture shock album in seattle in 1998 (staring at me in the bargain bin at fallout records...). i recognized that filth song when i got the blatz/filth double cd from lookout! about a year ago, too. this is also where i got the inspiration for the peni bit that ended up on that "frenzy twitch" mix. crimpshrine ended up being one of my favorite bands during high school. and there's still some blanks left over that need filling in. title = ramones.
