Yikes!  TTD, "Katrina Well". SO many other great tracks on this LP.

More sound clips of dubious audio-quality. The Commodore 64 ad sounds as though it were recorded using the condenser mic on someone's cassette boom-box.

Dave must have a new source for clips, but they're not exactly, ummm, pristine.
Let's get right to it.

I would suspect that, If KFOG had EVER played this song outside of a 10@10 set, it was probably on some long-departed Sunday night Metal specialty show (if there ever were such a thing). I can't picture Ministry ever being part of the daily KFOG rotation.


headbanger's ball, baby! i remember sneaking that in on saturday nights after snl. or was it friday night??

vhm: tdd!

Headbangers' Ball was Friday night.  Saturday night, IIRC, was 120 Minutes with the annoyingly-accented host Dive Kendall.

Geoff gets the crankypants today! This is what the 80's does to 60's-70's music people, including me.

I do like Wishing Well

My guess is that Dave recently bought someone's home recordings at a yard sale or off eBay.

It's by now obvious that Dave owns "Wishing Well" either as a cassingle or on a compilation CD, given his refusal to play anything from this album except this and "As Yet Untitled."


ha! dave gets cassingled out! likes those people in high school who prentended to own an entire album. "yeah, yeah - i know that song!"

And the "1988" bumper stepped all over the end of the tune. Now that's something you rarely hear happen--the 10@10 production values are usually spot-on.

the heady glory days of affordable computing!  I played Jumpman to death, wrote my own payroll, and production control programs to run on the C64.  Wow.

I'm right there with you.  Anyone got a suggestion for a Sunshine Pop station after this?  (Sunshine Pop = Fifth Dimension, Peppermint Rainbow, Free Design, Monkees, Association, Montanas, Brasil '66, Orpheus, et al -- basically, anything with airy harmonies and pop sensibilities)

the fretless zoop caught my ear, but I guess not every UK fretless track comes from Pino.
