Two years ago Bill sent me scores of cassettes. I just never did get around to ripping them. Almost none of them have any labels on them. Most are WHFS, some are Mix Tapes. You won't find many commercials or DeeJay song run downs. Bill was just taping the tunes...I'll post the ones that are clearly 'HFS tapes. We can try to guess the dates...
I'll start off with a good one...
Marty Jones, Jason and the Scorchers, Los Lobos, Kim Wilde, March Violets, Death Comet, Richard Thompson, Iggy Pop
133MB, MP3@320, 62 Minutes
WHFS Adelle
And where did you go Death Comet?
ReplyDeleteIn between brewing beers and such, I would put a tape on the deck and romp around the place. If I was paying attention, I would run to the player and hit pause while HFS would do commercials. It didn't dawn on me that this magical era would ever end and thus I drowned out the talk for the glorious tunes.
Hey...stuff happens..I used to do the same, then later while listening I'd be like...dang who was that group? Anyways...I'm looking forward to checking them out finally!
ReplyDeleteJim: When I moved to Chicago, I would still listen to the tapes and wonder about the songs. When the web opened, I sent a tape of unknown but great songs to a guy in California. He got most of them starring the
ReplyDeleteSpoons (Nova Heart) and the Chemeleons UK (my favorite band). Like I said before this HFS website of yours was a gift from the great beyond.
You're too kind Bill...
ReplyDeleteOkay, I've been visiting your site briefly for some time, but had never considered trying one of the broadcasts. However, Richard Thompson and Jason & the Scorchers was too good a combination - thanks for doing this project - this is some pretty great stuff!
ReplyDeletethe Radio Broadcast tapes are all great...no duds in any of them...enjoy!
