Radio Dreams

I was in high school in ’95, and I had this cheap radio/cassette recorder that I would listen to before going to bed, usually to the big alt-rock station at the time (WHFS). I would have to put my ear right up next to it though, as the volume knob was broken and it would only play super quietly. SP was one of my favorite bands at the time, and one night the station started playing SP’s live debut of MCIS and I hit record on the cassette tape I had in there so fast. It was late at night but I just held my ear up to the radio for the entire performance and fell asleep elated after having heard one of the best albums of all time.
