John and John solo (without even a drum machine for backup) on Vin Scelsa's venerable, peripatetic weekly show, airing on WNEW at the time. First song ("Older") is missing as I screwed up the levels at first, but everything here sounds great. High points include a medley of every song on the first TMBG album, a truly beautiful, moody Ana Ng, and way more discussion of Xena, Warrior Princess than any DJ this side of Vin could manage.

If a complete recording of this is out there somewhere, I'd love to have it. Until then, I'm happy to share this.
