Spinal Tap on ROCKLINE 3/23/92

Spinal Tap's appearance on ROCKLINE on 3/23/92. Promoting their recent "Break Like the Wind" album, with hilarious a interview and including a couple of songs performed "live" on the show ("Gimme Some Money" & "All the Way Home"). This is the whole show and includes artwork. This was taken from the original source cassette, so the sound quality is rather good.

George Harrison on ROCKLINE 8/24/92

George Harrison on ROCKLINE 1992

Obscure 45's

I've finally gotten around to converting all my old vinyl to mp3 (although, with over 1,000 vinyl albums, its gonna take awhile!). I've started with some of my 45's, to test out this new process.

So, what follows are a couple of conversions I've done, all with obscure or rare vinyl 45's and EP's.

The Hamicks: "Erase and Start From Scratch" EP (1993)
The Hamicks were an Austin band from the early '90s.
Kind of a demented cross between Devo and Syd Barrett.

download






Roman Candles: "Walkin' Home Drunk" EP (1989)
Roman Candles were a great power-pop band from Austin in the late '80s.
They only released two cassettes and one vinyl EP.

download





Heyoka: "Disco Sucks" 45 (1979)
Hailing from San Antonio, the hard-rock band Heyoka released "Disco Sucks" during the anti-disco backlash.

download



Steve Dahl: "Do You Think I'm Disco" (1979)
Another anti-disco backlash song - but this one actually charted!
