I had a Sony MiniDisc player for a few months in the year 2000. However, these recordings were made in that same time span by Chris and me, so what the heck? One word of caution: these are extreme low-fi recordings. These songs have nothing to do with acoustic guitars and therefore should not technically be credited to "The Fresh Breaths". We existed after the Town Managers broke up and before the Low Budgets were formed and we played exactly three shows. The Fresh Breaths were Chris Peelout and me on acoustic guitars. (Not Really) The Fresh Breaths, early 2000, home recordings These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (Keys Version) (mp3 3.66 MB) These Boots Are Made For Walkin' (Guitar Version) (mp3, 3.02 MB) The show was produced by Peter Gordon, for Thirsty Ear Communications, Inc., a company that began in 1979 in New York City and lives on today in the form a record label in Norwalk, Connecticut. The week that this episode aired also enjoyed interviews with Brian Bosworth (Football), David Lynch (Movie Director - Blue Velvet), and Stan Lee (Marvel Comics) as well as John Lurie of the Lounge Lizards.Ĭampus Voice Encounter executive producers were Jim Omastiak and Keith Bellows. The interviews were not all devoted to musical personalities. Each side contained one week's worth of episodes. This was probably from 1987.Įach 12 inch disc contained ten episodes, to be aired daily. This is a short feature piece on The Dead Milkmen after the release of Eat You Paisley. The recording was made with a hand-held cassette recorder by a member of the audience.Ĭampus Voice Encounter Episode 29 - The Dead Milkmen (mp3, 7.51 MB)Ĭampus Voice Encounter was a syndicated radio show that was distributed on 12-inch vinyl records to subscribing college radio stations. We were just beginning to plan our first U.S. At this time, our first album, Big Lizard In My Backyard, was "in the can" but not yet released. You could get a cheese steak, fries and soda, and see a show for well under ten bucks! This show, one of several the Milkmen played at Abe's, was with other Philly bands: Psychotic Norman, The Johnsons, and The Fabulous Fondas on March 2, 1985. (mp3, 26.2 MB)Ībe's Steaks was an actual steak shop (meaning Philly cheese steaks, burgers, fries, hoagies, etc.) on 40th Street just south of Market in West Philly that, for a couple years in the mid 1980s, held punk rock shows in the back room.
