Damian singing the blues

Blues Blues Blues.

Included in this post are A and B side of Damian spinning some serious blues. Without station breaks it's tough to know the names of the songs or artist. Some of what's on these tapes are:

The Blind Dog Blues Band from Parkville, MD playing When I'm Gone
Johnny Adams singing Life is a Struggle
John Prine and a whole lot of friends playing I Just Want to be with You
Marcia Ball singing Gator Rhythms

In between the above and after are a whole lotta blues.

Check them both out here and here

Both tapes are approx. 105MB, 45 minutes and MP3@320kb

Live from The Lizard Lounge - A side of Tape 1 -

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.

10 new classic WHFS tapes just arrived!

My first venture into receiving tapes from others that recorded WHFS back in the day. Thanks to Geoff in VA for sending along what he had from what appears to be the late 70's to early 80's. So far I've listened to two tapes, one with no air-checks and the other with Damian spinning an awesome blues set. Once I'm back from vacation I'll start the process of converting the tapes, looking for air-checks, loading clips as well as some whole tapes.

I'm now putting a call to all that have vintage recordings of WHFS to contact me so we can start a dialog to get me the tapes for inclusion on the site. Contact at naplesgc@gmail.com or leave a comment - that works too.

More WHFS airchecks

Here we have some airchecks complete with commercials and the WHFS Concert Calendar. I'd say my favorite thing about these tapes are the commercials, then the DJ's and then the awesome Concert Calendar's.

WHFS airchecks

To me, the best part of WHFS classic recordings are the DJ airchecks. The music is cool and it's cool to hear it as it was played 20 plus years ago - but I love the airchecks.

I'm going through my recordings and parsing out the airchecks with commercials for all to listen to on my blog without having to download anything - enjoy and please leave a comment.

Punk Rock tape - side b

On Jan. 6th I uploaded only my second recording on this blog, side A of a tape I labeled Punk Rock. Well, I see I never uploaded Side B. If it weren't for having already loaded these on my computer, I wouldn't be posting anything since I'm dismantled my setup and my tapes are all buried upstairs. Now I know why I didn't upload the tape after recording it to the computer. The first 8 minutes had a Baltimore Orioles game plus the song I'll tumble for you and a Pat Benatar tune. I've edited it today and will upload the remaining WHFS part of the tape.

The Jam - David Watts
The Romantics - Got Me where you want me
J. Giles Band - Gonna find me a New Love
The James Montgomery Band - School in' them Dice
Sting - TUTTI FRUTTI

Classic Weasel music recap.

The rest of the tape has no station breaks, not sure if their are tape cuts or not. I'm sure you'll enjoy. There is one DJ that comes on toward the end of the tape and says "Good Morning Lost & Found from the Saints their second album Eternally Yours on Sire Records" - I don't recognize the voice.

Unknown DJ - The S...
