Just finished the second side (A side) of the 1st of ten tapes from Geoff. Nice tape with three, that's three three song sets from Echo & The Bunnymen, Jane's Addiction and The Smithereens. All this during a Station Renovation Weekend live from The Lizard Lounge. The tape starts with a U2 song and ends with almost two from Public Image Ltd including "Rise".
Scattered within these sets is a Dr. Katherine Cruel M.D. skit along with the first 10 callers get a pass to the Gross National Product's Scandal Tour.
So, can anyone date this tape? One clue, when the DJ was talking about what seemed to be mild blackmail, she talked about sending a tape to America's Funniest Videos rather than posting them online.
The three song sets include: Echo & The Bunnymen's Lips Like Sugar, Bed Bugs and Ballyhoo, Never Stop; Jane's Addiction's Stomp, Jane Says and Ben Caught Steelin'; The Smithereens’ Behind the Wall of Sleep, Yesterdays Girl, Only a Memory.
Get it here
Tape is 104MB, 46 minutes and a MP3@320kb
Please - if you download, leave a comment and a review of the tape would be great as well. Don't forget to head over to my WHFS great music forums

My guess is that this tape is from sometime in 1989. Gross National Product first presented "Bushcapades" in 1988, but I think they may have carried it over into the following year. Also, wasn't it 1989 when the Einsteins and the old WHFS guard finally gave over the station? The DJ mentions the station being renovated, and I have a feeling it's the new owners doing that. I have no idea who the DJ is but she's certainly a stereotypical "radio personality" and the music is a lot more commercially alternative.
Yes, pretty safe playlist. I moved to FL in April 1989 and may not have been listening as much then because I didn't recognize any of it.
Great deduction regarding when the tape was and why.
Thanks It's Uncle Jim.
P.S. Putting the finishing touches on two 102.3 tapes right now and should be uploaded by Friday night.
Yeah thanks for the insight Uncle Jim...unfortuantely I haven't had the chance to hear it but will leave some feedback when I give it a good listen...thanks again Geoff and naples!
