Mild Wheat Numbers in the Slightie

In 1992 WUTK-FM released a fundraising album titled "Meanwhile Somewhere in the 90's" which included 12 songs from various local artists. A 12 track album could not then (and still couldn't) represent the full breadth of the musical scene in Knoxville (especially one that didn't have any contributions from such notables as Terry Hill and Scott Miller, or which didn't have any jazz or punk). Taking things into their own hands under the guidance of John "Immature Scientist" Tilson, 17 other bands promptly popped out this cassette-only release, featuring sounds from the less-poppy more-indie end of the spectrum.

(Full disclosure - I engineered 3 or 4 of these tracks, and #14 is my band).

You can listen in two ways: via a continuous mp3 stream (just like listening to a cassette) or you can download WAVs in a zipped folder.

Special thanks to John for digging around for a few months until he found the original master cassette.
