Meet You in the Subway, again

Thanks to the help of a person who had very kindly offered to store all of our paper flowsheets from many many years, therefore saving them from some horrible fate (cringe), I have the tracklisting from the WXYC show that I did in 2003 called Meet You In the Subway: San Francisco, 1977-1981. As you will see, I was a bit heavy on the Tuxedomoon and Chrome, and from what I remember now that I am looking at the list, I ran out of time, and missed the Dead Kennedys (yikes) and Factrix (yikes+1). And I went outside of the self-imposed year limit. Three hours seems like a really long time when you begin the show…but here it is! Starts out with a Ralph Records set:

1. The Residents — Swastikas on Parade (Third Reich and Roll) 1976

35. Psyclones — The Drug Store (Psyclones) 1985
36. Flipper — The Lights, the Sound, the Rhythm, the Noise (Gone Fishin) 1984

…and if I could add some more songs now, they would be from:

Factrix — Empire of Passion/Slice of Life 7″ (1980), Scheintot (1982), Artifact (2003 release on Tesco)

Dead Kennedys — “Holiday in Cambodia,” “California Über Alles” from Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables (1980), anything from Plastic Surgery Disasters/In God We Trust, Inc. that doesn’t have profanity (1981/82)

And here are some videos, although do yourself a favor, don’t read the comments if you go to the site (that should go for every video on YouTube):
