I was just 26 years old when I sat down to speak with Lou Reed in the WFNX studios. It was his second trip to see us. He truly liked the station and I think that it comes across well. Of course, I'm shitting my pants, but I pretty much hold my own and he becomes more open and relaxed as the conversation continued. We talk music, sampling (1991 it was new), politics, Czechoslovakia, motorcycles and he was kind enough to allow me to debut a few new tracks from Magic And Loss, which was about to be released. The squeaking of his leather jacket signifies the absolute coolness of having the pleasure and honor of speaking with a legend like Lou Reed.

Nirvana Live at WFNX 8th Birthday at Axis Boston

Here's a couple of hours from an old cassette or two, so parts are a little wobbly but the vibe of an 80's alternative radio station in the sticks of Maine shines through. There's pieces of shows from morning, noon and night....plus some Breakfast with The Beatles. I was 26 when this was recorded. I sound it. Enjoy! DB
