Oh well, even thinking about the Middle East seems to be a luxury these days!  The rest of this is fun, and about the time I developed a JAMS/KLF fixation, but the weirdest track of the bunch being the one from Ben E.

  A bit of a one off, as it's not a "Modern Classics" or a "New Songs" but a standalone "industrial" (more like new beat + techno acid house + modern dance) compilation.  Don't know much about where I got this from, except that it was a HS classmate that I haven't seen in 30 years. Have a friend of mine identifying the tracks which Shazam couldn't manage, and which weren't identified at the time on the sheet of cut-up lined paper left in the insert in lieu of a proper J-card.  Humans are better than any algorithmic pattern matching software, anyway.  Some of these mixes are via R*z*rm**d, according to him... This dates from '89-90, and by all accounts, features many songs that were filling the dancefloors around this time.  All the songs are mixed into each other so this is likely from an (unidentified) local DJ/mixtape release that my HS classmate had.  The appearance of A10 may be a clue as to exactly who...this has all the h

 New Order tapes part 10 of unknown. This tape was the source of a gigographical inaccuracy introduced in late November 2001 with the insertion of "In A Lonely Place" (known in taping circles as Little Boy ) into the setlist.   This can be documented here, via looking at the New Order gigography, referred to as "Waterrat", as that was the name that site maintainer Anthony Leal used for his domain,  the version on archive from 10/7/2001 on the old Waterrat NO gigography only lists 10 tracks, comparing it to the version on there from 12/18/2001 on Waterrat's site. shows the addition of Little Boy, which interestingly enough, was added between "Confusion" and "Age Of Consent", not where it is situated here, where it is (appropriately enough) inserted as tape filler to round out Side A.  The notes I maintain as to when a listing was updated also fall in line with the change caused by the appearance of this tape. version 1.44.4  11/26/01 -------

FLLR NS2-48 - New Sounds 2 The Blues - 11/11/90 A great selection of melancholy modern rock hits from my CD collection at the time.   Yes, I owned the old Columbia Robert Johnson box set, which was notoriously noise reduced, as I understand that transfers done directly from the 78s sound a loss less dead than this seems to. "Harold And Joe" is another Robert's paean to a different drug than what his fellow Robert was imbibing, and not one associated with the blues as traditionally defined.  Love the dying pen highlighting only certain strokes. "Harold And Joe", "Waiting For The Night" and "All Day Long" are all deep cuts and are favorites of mine from these bands.  Everybody knows the last one, of course. The Bird (Turkey) - 11/11/90 These are all in large measure joke tunes, but all of the have quite interesting backstories, so I'm taking the time to present them here. The Lydon one was taking from an '86 era interview with Ivar Ham

Ride + Revenge filler The Ride show may be another Sacramento Music Archive presentation in the near future since it was at the Cattle Club, but first I will feature some of the "filler" tracks on here.

 FLLR 019 - MBV 1989 Ephemeria   These My Bloody Valentine tapes from "ideal.copy" (I-Beam SF 6/12/89 and Berkeley Square 6/14/89) have already been digitized and shared on DIME, which for the last 15 years has been the popular go-to lossless Bittorrent-based site for whatever items of independent origin have surfaced, but what hasn't made it anywhere were the filter tracks from them, since for the most part they're just from records, and thus not sharable there.  This being Tape Filler dot org, and these being tape filler, I thought it would be good to present these here to whoever would be interested in them. Here they are, split into three portions corresponding with each of the tapes.   The Primitives demo track is definitely worth listening to.   MBV890612_s1 Shop Assistants - Almost Made It  (2:18) Blow Up - Slip Into Something (rough mix)  (6:30) Spacemen 3 - Hypnotized  (2:55) MBV890612_s2 mbv890612_bit (10s) New Order - Don't Do It  (4:34) New Order - Dre

  Filler from a Stereolab tape that I recently shared.  Think these are samples from another show, but I don't know which.   You can hear on 'Transcoma Five' the band was looking for gaffer tape, likely to hold the vocal mics in place and Læticia explaining "technical difficulties" to the crowd. There's some question about the date ID for the Blumfeld track since to quote autopilot, "setlist.fm throws a further spanner in the works by suggesting that the 1995 line-up was Pavement/Mercury Rev/Crowsdell not Blumfeld", so the ID on the spine label may be wrong...   Stereolab sample-bits: Wow and Flutter  (0:05) Transcoma Five  (2:16) Ronco Symphony  (0:48)   bonus:  Blumfeld - E-Work, Köln (live 26 Jun 1995)     (9:03) FLLR 018 - Stereolab Plus

Modern Classics Vol. 10 #44 Side A - 8/7 Volume 10 of a series of these.  Starts off with an annoying-sounding Rob Francis interview of a bored-sounding Danny Elfman, from 1990-07-13.   I guess all those movie soundtracks were waaaay more lucrative than Oingo Boingo proved to be, but "Skin" is a pretty good song, admittedly.  Still, a good curio for fans interested in their work, even if the interview itself is cringey on multiple levels. Even better is a long version of Tom Tom club's "Genius of Love", which I believe I pulled from the Sire 12". And then...my first of several shares of 2 Live Crew's As Nasty As They Wanna Be LP, which I had on cassette.  People literally were getting arrested for indecency from selling this, if nothing else, Luke Campbell did strike a blow for artistic freedom.  Now all of this seems quaint as we have literal "Proud Boys" Nazis with the same freedom to express their hateful views.  So maybe the less said, the

  Modern Classics Vol. 9  #43 << Fourth in a series....or should that be ninth?  This one samples from Live 105's broadcast, including a UK Cafe broadcast from 12 July 1990, mixed in with some 12" and CDs I have, including some samples of New Order as "bridge" pieces between segments.  Also features another MC 900 Ft. Jesus track.  Like the last tape, this was a C60 that I must have gotten as a freebie from my dad's grocery store.  >> Side A - 7/12/90   Falco - Der Commissar Kon Kan - Puss n' Boots Revenge - Big Bang   UK Café 7/20/90 Stone Roses - One Love (new!) Girls At Our Best - Politics Drumfish - Papa '90   Funny enough, it wasn't until years later before I would meet my good friend who goes by "GaoBest", after the band who sings "Politics". bridge #1 (New Order - True Faith) House Of Shock - Middle Of Nowhere   Side B - 7/12/90  New Order - Confusion ('90 Alternative Remix) Revenge - Pineapple Face's Re

  Modern Classics Vol. 8  #42 <<  Third in a series, and dating a week after the last installment.  This features yet another 'AT THE EDGE' set from DJ Bernard (Cabigon).  This Bizjournals article represents much of the biographical information we have about him.  Some of his mixes also appeared on various Art Of Mix compilations , which I don't have.  The Realistic J-Card wasn't original as I think I was one short, you'll see the next tape doesn't even have labels, though it does have its original insert. >> Side A - 5/31/90 Revenge - Pineapple Face B-52's - Roam (DJ Remix) New Order - Blue Monday (Club Mix) Fake - Another Brick (Falling Down) The Cure - Pictures of You (Strange Remix) Grandmaster Flash - White Lines (edit) (only wrote in 'Fake' when digitizing this, as I didn't know who this was by.)

Modern Classics Vol. 7  #41 << Second in a series.  Looks like this was assembled the following weekend to the one featured previously.  Another example that mixes an Art of Mix 12" which I still have, some CD tracks from a semi-portable tabletop that I bought back in '89 (note the 16kHz line which appears in the waveform tracks), and the rest from trusty old 105.3FM in San Francisco, Live 105.  The Side B tracks were aired in dance mix style at the Edge in Palo Alto.  My recollection was that this was an early (Sunday) morning broadcast with Mark Hamilton, who was at the station until 1995, and then departed to Portland's KNRK to serve as their Program Director, where he is still at, apparently.  Despite rumors that he was either from Ohio or Mississippi, he's an English expat, one of a number the station had.   That station no longer plays "Modern Rock" but some more generic brand of "Alternative" music. >> Key:    Å  Art Of Mix 12&qu
