I'm not sure if this level of detail is warranted, but I found the notes I supplied with the mix tape back in 1992....
Life Below 92
=============
"Killer Klowns" - The Dickies 1988
CD: _Killer Klowns_ (Enigma 73322)
Interesting tune. Fun lyrics. I like the way the beginning sounds
like your cassette deck is eating the tape.
"Eardrum Buzz" (12" version) - Wire 1989
CD: _It's Beginning To And Back Again_ (Enigma 73516)
"Imagination" - Xymox 1989
CD: _Twist of Shadows_ (Wing 839 233)

"Every Dog Has Its Day" - Let's Active 1988
CD: _Every Dog Has Its Day_ (I.R.S. IRSD-42151)
Local band from Waterbury, Connecticut.
"Don't Turn Away" - Chemistry Set 1991
CD single: _Don't Turn Away_ (Imaginary MIRACD 026)
Energetic tune. Local station played it for a couple weeks,
never to be heard from again. An English band.
"5:30 Blue" - Her Tears 1992
7" single: _5:30 Blue_ (Liquid Lollipop)
Local band from Danbury, Connecticut. Very popular at the moment.
Lead out tag: "Can I touch 'em?"
"Think Again" - Cheater Jones circa 1987
CD: _New Jersey Rock 5_ (WDHA DHA-5)
NJR5 is a sampler of NJ local bands, the fifth in the series, and the
first on compact disc. Cheater Jones is a tight, funky band. WDHA
is a rather adventurous rock station in Dover, NJ (105.5). They
spotlight local talent a lot.
"Playing in the Dirt" - Joanna Connor circa 1989
CD: _Believe It!_ (Blind Pig Records BP 73289)
Blues guitarist extraordinaire hailing from Chicago, she puts on an
excellent show. The first time I saw her, she was walking around the
cafe before the show, talking with her fans. I didn't know it was her.
Even as she was setting up her equipment, I didn't match up the music
with the person. Then she started to warm up a bit. ...
Here's a cover of a Robert Cray tune.
