Mainstream radio has always been mainstream. It doesn't appeal to alternative sensibilities, aside from that cool DJ at some ungodly hour, that we all stayed up to tape

Yes, I got to learn a lot of great music taping this alternative radio show when I was a teen (Villa 65, VPRO radio, NL). Not always got the name of the band on tape so wondering for decades which band it was. A few years ago I was doing stage monitors for Sebadoh, and they started playing one of those songs.

That must have been awesome. I still get excited when I run across an original version of something that was sampled on Paul's Boutique

It was a totally surreal experience. Being right next to the stage behind the mixing desk and hear them play it during the encore, 25 years after I taped it from the radio...
