09 APRIL 1989

Another blast from Pat Wright's immense cassette archives. Blues, jerky post punk, a garage ripper from THE HYPSTYRS, more blues (honestly, there's lots of blues). This segment is lighter on punk and hardcore than some of the previous KALX posts, but ain't that what made (makes) free form radio so great? 

I've started curating mix tapes using Pat's archive as source material. The first two volumes are sold out (from me), but copies are available from Iron Lung and Sorry State. These tapes include highlights from the KALX tapes that I've shared here, as well as excerpts from field recordings, Gilman committee meetings, answering machine messages from famous punks and coworkers, live recordings from The Mab, On Broadway, Gilman...an absolute grab bag. Future volumes in the works, it's a project that could continue indefinitely.
