My long time friend Steve Brothers asked me about getting a wav file of the coffee creek shows, so I went ahead and gave it the full rebalance treatment.
Here is the text from my original(non-rebalanced) post:
First and foremost- this is a MUST LISTEN if you are an Uncle Tupelo, WIlco, Son Volt, or classic country fan. Coffee Creek are Tweedy/Farrar/Heidorn(Uncle Tupelo), Brian Henneman(Bottle Rockets) doing classic country/rock covers! So great.
Back in the early 90s, I was friends with Tony Margherita & Bob Andrews who managed Uncle Tupelo, The Bottle Rockets and many more. I had followed UT around and filmed/audio recorded over 10 shows in the span of a couple of years, including the 2 final shows in St. Louis. Since the band was defunct (and Wilco was not the HUGE band they are today), Tony let my good friend Jim stop by and pick up “a few” cassettes in late 1994. Jim goes to the office and calls me:
J(whispering): Dude, there are like 50 tapes here. Do you have Coffee Creek?
Me: No
J: How about X(some other one)
Me: No. Just grab them all and I will sort them out.
So Jim grabs a box and shoves about 50 tapes in, and takes off. Bob and Tony were like :-O. Haha! Thanks guys.
I am shocked that these are not online yet.

Man, I wish I took pictures of the tapes.
This one is a nice memory- Cameron, my first son had just been born the day before and I had been at the hospital for a few days straight. I ran home to get some rest and Rodney was on, announcing that Ride was going to be live in the studio. I hit record on the DAT machine and crashed out. I am so glad I recorded this because it is awesome! Many songs acoustic.
The highlight of this one is when 2 teenage girls call in and they are bickering back and forth while on the air! Ride (I think it was Andy) asks them “have you ever heard of Beavis and Butthead (because they sounded a lot like them) and they did not get the joke at all! It was hilarious!!
Anyway, I can’t recall if I ever traded this, so it may be uncirculated.
I hated a lot of things about L.A. when I lived there, but radio and live music scene was excellent.

I was all ready to post a Chubbies video from Jim Utz’ collection for today’s On This Date in History, only to discover that this is the 17th, not the 18th. Whoops! Here is a video shot by Jason Ross and transferred from his master tape. I did this with my old digitizing setup a few years ago, so no 1080p and no enhancements. Still better than the 240p generated one on youtube now.

I am stretching the “music” part of the sac music archive with this one, but Danny was a Partridge and did release albums, so I’ll allow it. This one may be right up dr. frank’s alley. Danny Bonaduce giving love and sex advice to impressionable young minds.
He also leaves midway through his appearance to go watch himself on TV. HA!

I am a bit oversensitive to smooth-voiced “NPR Like” radio hosts. I can usually tolerate them OK, and I think that most MBEs have some good interview segments. This one just rubbed me the wrong way. Let me know if you pick up any unnecessary arrogance or smarm in the interview.

A few months back, Barry Prickett met up with me and lent me a few more tapes. You’ll be seeing some cool demos, rare releases and live shows from his collection over the next few days.
Here’s the first one. Maxiwagon were from Davis and were around in the early to mid 90s. Band members were Dave Bergman, Frank Ha, Janna Matsuoka, Josh Marson. They released one CD on Omnibus in 1996.
This is a cassette EP from 93.
