Back in college, I had a radio program with xmikex and kated. Mike and I would lug a heavy ass box of CDs to the studio, plus a few EPs. Kate would hang. We tried to start EVERY radio program with Vocal Test. We figured, we only wanted hardcore heads listening to the radio broadcast. By playing Vocal Test immediately, we could instantly separate the wheat from the chaff. I think it worked.
Of course, the radio station only broadcast over the local campus cable system. That’s right. There was no antenna broadcasting it to the neighborhood. Not even close. It was only available on the closed circuit television channel. A few years later, my old roommate would set up a streaming radio for the school. That worked pretty well. In fact, he made it possible for kids all over the world to hear Stop And Think live in studio. Plus The A-Team (and likely a ton others that are not coming to mind). Oddly, I walked right by the radio station the night Stop And Think played, but no one had alerted me they were in town so I didn’t stop by. Weak.
Humanity Is the Devil is one of the LAST Integrity albums that I really got into. Once Integrity 2000 hit the scene, I peaced out. But they were still quite enjoyable live. That was never a let down. Maybe The Blackest Curse will change my opinion. Deathwish Inc, represent!
