Excerpts #9 - Striding a Hit.

Source accessible here.

This show took place in 1996 on July 5th or 6th. What's funny is that the spreadsheet-as-database I have of the tapes list different dates than are on the tapes themselves. Since the show took place usually at midnight to 2am, or eleven to 1am, or ten until midnight; most of the tapes are dated as if the show took place in the late evening. The info sheet is marked as if the show took place in the early morning. For a minute, I thought I had the wrong tapes, or sheet, or both.

This leaves the sound in a sort of liminal temporal no-space, and makes me wonder that if but for the artifacts that now for you only exist as bits - and therefore completely imaginary anyway - none of this ever really happened. Treat this, then, as an unexpected gift.
