It's a very special episode of CTR when MSG takes a break from delivering the cutting edge of punk rock and takes us back to the 1990's. Back then, there was no music streaming or even Napster, and if you wanted free music you taped songs off the radio. MSG took this to a whole new level by regularly recording a full tape's worth of radio, then forwarding through it looking for songs to save, which he'd record onto another tape (a process he called "track fishing"). Today's show consists entirely of songs from found on these mixtapes, including music from 90's cornerstones Veruca Salt, The Offspring and Better Than Ezra, rarities from Liz Phair, Everclear and Poe, and tunes from One Semi Rock Radio Hit Wonders Pure, Cello, Summercamp, and dozens more. MSG talks about the East Village show that inspired this special, how he ended up in one of the radio station's promos and the songs that surprised him.
