Cracker- KROQ Loveline, Pasadena Ca 12/12/93 xfer from 1st gen audio cassette David Lowery

BONUS POST today. That’s right- you get an On This Date, this one, and a 3rd one! Don’t get too excited, the 3rd one sounds kinda terrible.

Anyway, for the Cracker fans unaware of the show- Loveline was a show on KROQ where listeners would call up with the “love” problems. Dr Drew Pinsky plus whatever DJ at the time (this one is Riki Rachtman), AND the guest(s) would try to help with advice. David and Johnny were in the studio for this one. Loveline was on the air from 1983-2025, but I am most familiar with the 90s crew since I lived down there at the time.

This was right after the KROQ Almost Acoustic Xmas show- the show ended probably an hour before this started. In fact, I should probably check my DAT of AAC to see if I inadvertently recorded some of this and never knew.

Bee Gees- KROQ’s Loveline, Pasadena Ca 10/5/93 xfer from DAT FM Master Complete

I am a little pressed for time today and I am trying to crank out 3 posts, so I am keeping this short.

BIG thanks to Adam Dristle for telling me what to do on Patreon! He wanted to hear the Bee Gees give love advice to KROQ listeners, so you get to hear it as well. Thanks Adam!

Courtney Love- KROQ Loveline, Pasadena Ca 9/1/93 xfer f/ DAT FM Master Dr. Drew Pinsky Riki Rachtman

Before I get started, YES I know that this is a pic of Drew and Adam Carolla. There seem to be zero photos of Rachtman and Drew online. No loveline logo, nothin’.

Anyway, this is the very first post as a reward for the “Tell Me What to Do” Patreon tier. Thanks Adam Dristle for your support- I really appreciate it! You can support the patreon for as little as $3 per month- I’ll add the l i n k b e l o w as well as the patreon link.

Dr Timothy Leary- KROQ Loveline, Pasadena Ca. 8/3/93 xfer from master audio cassette

Bonus post today. “Tell Me What to Do” patreon subscriber Adam Vijay Dristle asked for this one, so he gets it! One of my big regrets from living in So Cal from 1992-1995 was missing so many of these radio broadcasts. I should have been taping loveline every time someone notable was on. I got a few and I am sure that Adam will ensure that we all get to hear them. Thanks Adam!
P.S.: Primus is not on the broadcast, this was the only photo I could find of Timothy from 1993 (photo by Jay Blakesburg)

Bay City Rollers- KROQ Loveline, Pasadena Ca 8/2/93 xfer from master audio cassettes

It’s another Patreon “Tell Me What to Do” bonus post today! You too can tell me what to do. Head over to Patreon and order me around please.

Thanks to Adam Dristle for requesting this one. I have no idea why it says that this is 80min long on my list. It’s closer to 100.

Thanks to Adam for the only known pic of Adam and Riki doing this show together. UPDATE: This show is actually pre-Riki, with Poorman and Drew. Whoops! Not redoing it. Enjoy the incorrect photo. 🙂

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.
