I've been going through several boxes of old cassettes from the early 80's and found a collection of shows I taped off the radio my last year of college (Wichita State University). Now I remember what I was listening to twenty years ago while prog was in pretty sad shape:
KMUW Radio's "The After Midnight Hour" (1986)
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Tupelo
Expando Brain - Happy Part
Killdozer - I'm Not Lisa
Wild Seeds - Charlene
Brenda Lee - I'm Sorry
Roxy Erickson & the Aliens - I Am
Suicide - Frankie Teardrop
Wall of Voodoo - the Passenger
Death of Samantha - Wipeout
XTC - Big Day
Syd Barrett - Rats
Rain Parade - Look at Mary
Minutemen - Tour-Spiel
Three Johns - Wendolene
Gang of Four - Paralysed
Killing Joke - War Dance
Bauhaus - Spy in the Cab
Fetchin' Bones - Wine
The Fall - Vixen
Siouxsie & the Banshees - Cities in Dust
Dead Kennedys - Triumph of the Swill
ah, memories...
