Darker Side Mix #20

Yes.  Mix 20.  We have no idea what happened to mixes 8-19.  Clearly, the booze consumed during the mixing sessions started to take hold and Dmitri’s bookkeeping duties faltered.  This mix could’ve ended up the same way had it not been for Ned’s prank call to Warren and Darlene about his son’s towed car.  A Darker Side classic!

Darker Side Mix #7

Our seventh mix is a mini “best of” due to readers from the Private Eye Weekly calling for the first time. (We took out a small ad on the back page section, right next to all those sex, pot smoking, and HIV study ads.)  The Master joins us as a guest PJ, we’re inundated by prepubescents, Macho Nacho calls about East Canyon, and Clean Clean City takes out an ad… or something.  At least the message divider is tolerable – and we even hold a contest to pick the next one.  Wow!

Darker Side Mix #5 and #6

…are nowhere to be found!  Ned and Dmitri probably forgot to archive these after consuming a litre of McAndrew’s Scotch Ale.  This was a frequent occurrence during earlier taping sessions.  (Later on, we learned to embrace the booze which probably accounts for the declining mix quality.)

If anyone out there has these on 8-track or cassette somewhere, get in touch with us to claim your special prize in exchange for copies!

In lieu of these missing tapes, did you know there was a Darker Side 1.1?  It’s true.  Read all about it, and listen to one of those random mixes right now!

Darker Side Mix #4

The annoying message dividers continue with Bertha the Horse’s whinny, and we even get the bright idea to bait callers for their own sounds to use as dividers.  Elsewhere in the mix, we discuss our advertising kits, Macho Nacho opens his own Chia Pet business, there’s some heated debate about scripture being left as input, and Dale catches Tony smoking cigarettes.

Darker Side Mix #2

Our second mix sounded like a study in frustration: Tim and Dmitri make more rules, James Cajun Smith is chastised, and other callers get an earful.  Besides that, the Zion Night of Fire ad runs — a Darker Side classic — and there’s a pretty good stream of caller input all tied together with an annoying teradactyl howl.  Wow!
