Ep. #15 OUT OF MIND crank call compliation cassette from the 80's!  Mark Knoplfer and more!

Do you like a good prank call?  Do you remember the time when one could make a prank phone call? If you do let's take a ride back to the mid-80's with this compilation cassette of prank phone calls from the legendary Mark Knoplfer, Pranks for the Memories, and The Pittsburgh Calls. We'll play some excerpts from a tape called OUT OF MIND (somewhere in space a all-star crank call compilation tape).  It is wise-ass humor in it's truest and rawest form.  It is also a great example of good old fashioned pre-internet underground tape trading.

Ep. #14 RUSH My Brain Hurts (bootleg/1980) + Interview + Wireless and more!


It's not all just punk rock and metal around here.  Sometimes just a little R-n-R that will do.  If you are a Rush nerd you'll love this bootleg cassette from the 1980 Permanent Waves tour.  You'll also appreciate the TV interview.  Geddy mentions his production credit for an album called No Static by fellow Canadian band, Wireless.  We'll play a few tracks of of that release.  So sit back and Don't Freak!
