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.
