Ride- Live in studio on Rodney on the Roq, KROQ-FM 7/25/93 xfer from DAT FM Master Recording

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.

Danny Bonaduce- KROQ Lovelines, Pasadena Ca. 7/14/93 xfer from DAT Master Tape

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!

James- KROQ Loveline, Pasadena Ca 3/20/93 xfer f/DAT FM Master Britpop Laid Dr. Drew Tammy Heide

Here’s another Patreon Tell Me What to Do request! You can tell me what to do as well- I will add the link in comments.

Thanks to Adam Dristle for asking for this one. I recorded this off of KROQ with the old home DAT deck. I used to start the deck(10pm show) and then go to bed sice I had to get up early for work. I accidentally started it in SP mode (I used to record FM shows in LP mode because tapes were expensive!) and realized my error, then flipped to LP mode right in the middle of a caller question. You can hear it pause for a second and then restart. This one was a JOY digitizing because of that, haha. It also cuts about 15min before the end, as I ran out of tape because of the SP mixup.

Jello Biafra- Rodney on the Roq, KROQ Pasadena 1/10/82 xfer f/2nd gen cassette interview and demo

Today’s on this date is also early so you can plan your events later today accordingly.

This one is really cool- long interview with Jello and some LP tracks. I think some DK demos are also played- not sure if they made it onto a later reissue, but here they are from 1982.

One of the few good things about living in Whittier in the early to mid-90s was meeting a lot of people who had been in the music scene for a long time. I traded cassettes with some folks who had things like this. It would just come up in conversation at a concert “hey, I have this tape I got from a friend”. Or I would meet folks like Kevin Haynes, Todd Nakamine and Joe Hunter, who became good friends and are friends to this day.
