For today’s On This Date in History, here is a “What the Heck was I Thinking” moment from tape trading in the 80s. Like I had said before, Anonymous and I have been taping/trading shows since the 80s. He seemed to be trading with all of the cool early SST/indie tapers who had good equipment and I was more focused on video.

I was over at Anonymous’ place sometime in the late 80s, looking at Todd Goss’ tape list and I see this show listed. I loved that Pianosaurus album so I bugged the hell out of him to get this. Let’s just say that the concept of playing on toy instruments does not translate well into a live setting… sorry man. Fast forward to today and I learn that Pianosaurus were opening for one of the greatest bands ever, Guadalcanal Diary at this show. Should have grabbed that one instead.
