There's been buckets of ink already spilled about 1980's Stone Age cassette culture and spinner dial broadcasting to warrant a Penguin size tome, and may much more pour forth. For now, here are my digital contributions. Caveatz tho’~~~~Air check playbacks of my 18-22 year old self are characterized by a superficially outsized air personality, elitist nods to the imagined cognoscenti and strained analysis accompanied by lame one-liners. I sound like an ESPN announcer (more so on WMUA than WPRB or WMFU)~~~~But even though there’s nothing as immediate and tasteful as the meat sliced by the original Pat Benatar band, the selections were choice then and remain so now, yes?~~~ No?~~~ Love is a battlefield!~~~~~All shows at 320 kbps, chopped into proper MP3s with lovingly detailed labeling~~~~Download Qs: leftofleftofthdial@gmail.com

SCREAMING URGE demystified at Straight to Video

So I've been staring at this Screaming Urge comp (Impulse Control - The Complete Recordings 1980-1981 on Hyped2Death) on my shelf for months, thinking, you know, I should probably listen to that one day. I think the same thing about all those Chuck Warner comps. Heck, I think that about just about everything on these shelves. Anyway, this recent thinking about Screaming Urge coincided with an excellent overview/interview posted over at Straight To Video by the mysterious R. Kellie, which outlines the nascent Columbus scene and moves me that much closer to a Screaming Urge listening party. And, there's a "Homework" video that answers the question of what my next Halloween costume will be.

    Actually, we released a 25-song CD of the 45 and both LPs. Same songs that were on H2D, except these were remastered and re-ordered. It's called Gory Years and you can get ordering info via email (abc8329-screamingurge@yahoo.com) and at our multiple record-re-release show at Ace Of Cups on Saturday, April 28 (https://www.facebook.com/events/341203915917303/).

    Oh, and here's the video with the actual Homework version that is on the record. The video previously posted above was a take that never actually made it onto the record.
