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:
