THIS ONE’S LOSSLESS

Repercussion: This blog is devoted mainly to two groups active primarily in the 1980s — groups at times lumped in with the so-called “New Wave”. So, at some point, I wanted to post something by this group. Otherwise, there’s no connection between our heroes from Winston-Salem, NC and the Tee Hedz from NYC.

01 Warning Sign (beginning cut, fades in)*

02 Stay Hungry
03 Cities
04 band intros
05 I Zimbra
06 Once In A Lifetime

08 Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)
09 Crosseyed and Painless (fades in)**
10 Take Me to the River
11 The Great Curve

     *first song in the set, Psycho Killer, is not included here

     **Life During Wartime from this show was officially released, so is omitted here (would have been the track before “Take Me to the River”)

ROB SEZ: I’ve tried to make it hard for the Internet music police to find this post. I’ve misspelled the name of the band and its original members and haven’t added any tags. When Hans De V began sharing his amazing T Hedz tape collection about a year ago, the powers-that-be were all over his posts, and they disappeared quickly. I don’t want to jeopardize my humble little blog by calling attention to posts like this.
