More audio from Bootleg Cowboy’s collection. Last time we met up, he gave me a small box of cassettes that he recorded off of the MRR radio show. This one includes a live Fugazi track, but the announcer does not give a date or venue for that live track.
As usual, these are just great. This was a serious lifeline in the pre-internet days.

Collections post today- here is another MRR radio show from the @bootlegcowboys – I have 1 or 2 more of these from him. I love listening to these radio shows. It turns me on to new bands even today. So cool.
Sorry for the crappy scan. It was quite the day.

Collections post from @bootlegcowboys today. It’s the last of the MRNR tapes in the box, so that means more variety from this collection next month, haha.
Lots of good stuff on this one, including stuff from the Creamers (check it out RJ) and lookout records’ own Plaid Retina.

Today’s collections post comes from Bootleg Cowboy’s cassette collection. Just FYI, I have been posting videos from BC’s collection for the past couple years, but we are putting a pause on that for the foreseeable future. Audio only for the time being.
These old radio shows are fun- such a cool time capsule, and pre-internet, it was one of the only ways to hear new music. BC has 4 or 5 of these tapes, so expect 1 every month or so.

Collections post from Bootleg Cowboy today. This is the 2nd to last MRR tape that I see in the box. This one is not as long as the others, which were a full 90 min tape. This one takes up most of side B, so about 40 minutes. No notes about the bands or tracks, so we can all be surprised. I love these tapes- they are still fun to discover new bands.

Thanks to Chris Macias for uploading this one!
Growing up in #Sacramento during the 1980s, if the conditions were just right, you could get KPFA 94.1 from Berkeley on your radio.
The signal might be kind of janky, but it doesn’t matter. You hit “record” on the cassette player and let it roll on the Maximumrocknroll show.
All these years later, it’s a blast of NorCal punk/hardcore that still hits like the Reagan Years all over again

Fun fact: When I was helping Radley (original Gilman soundman & MRR Radio assistant) sell some stuff on ebay, he gave me 2 really cool things: The original P.A. from gilman, from the 80s, and the Ampex tape box that held MRR Radio show #1 on cassette. It would be recorded locally, then sent to a tape duplicator, then cassettes were sent to the radio stations for syndication.
