1989 Time Machine Edition - A few high pitched questions with Pat DiNizio from the Smithereens

from No Outlet · host Ethan Jule

1989 what a year!  Let's take a trip in the WAY BACK machine and revisit an interview that I was lucky enough to be a part of while I was a DJ at WPCR (Plymouth College Radio). The Smithereens (https://www.officialsmithereens.com/) were on a college tour and were making a stop at Foley Gymnasium at PSC. Long story short, no one wanted to do the interview and I was offered a better time slot if I did it...so I did! Pat DiNizio (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_DiNizio) was a graceful participant and, looking back at it, much nicer to me than he could/should have been. Sadly, Pat passed away a few years ago at the young age of 62 but his music lives on and so does this interview. Before the interview starts, I take some time sharing some thoughts about music in general, the lost beauty of Cassette tapes, how thankful I am for my Parents love of (quality) music, the extreme fun of being a DJ at a College Radio station, how fortunate I was to be able to interview several musical artists and a few other observations...such as how my voice circa 1989 sounds like some cartoon character whose most notable characteristic was that it sounded like it was laced with massive amounts of Helium Laced and played at 45 RPM when it was a 33 RPM recording. Awful. However, I have not listened to this recording for 30 years and it remains a very fond memory and I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane as much as I did. RIP Pat DiNizio and long live the Smithereens!
