Instead of summarizing the life is like science fiction stories, I'm inserting direct links so you can read exactly what Mike does on air. Only faster and without trance music playing in the background.
5-24-2000- 4:15 a.m: Your hosts this week are Mike Sargent, Eugene and our beloved founder, Andrea.
Today's Theme: Favorites

story.

-Jamaican national hero Sam Sharpe was executed May 23, 1932.
-Owen Hart was
also killed on that day two years ago.

Favorite Movies:
Andrea: E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
Eugene: "Heaven Can Wait",
because it makes him laugh.

Trains and Automobiles".

put them between these pillows to rest them.

of "Angel Eyes". Shooting on

Life Is Like Science Fiction:

.... And says the word "tits" a LOT.
-Doc Discipline calls in and says "J-Ho" a LOT.
- Andrea plays "Jimmy" from the 1996 album Ænima then gives a glowing review of the Tool show at Hammerstein.

-Some guy calls in and does a lame-ass Beavis & Butthead impression.
- Researcher Says Jet Lag Causes Brain Shrinkage
-Sisters Of Mercy. Because G.W. was the governor of a state executes 40 people a year. Which means he showed none?

The host discuss their favorite musicians at length
Mike: Jerry Goldsmith, Peter Gabriel

-Judge Dismisses Ritalin Lawsuit Against Novaritis
-Andrea plays "Eulogy" and "Forty Six & 2" from Ænima.
-Bridget calls in to share her favorites: Kate Bush,
Dead Can Dance (certified hot then dropped to lukewarm, now back up in
the spot claming
never been gone). Echoes Andrea's sentiments about the Tool show.
I have to say it was indeed a good concert. The other shows I've seen this year pale in comparison. Christina A./Destiny's Child accepted, of course.
-Eugene and Mike give mad props to King Crimson, who is touring this summer with Tool.
-Andrea urges the listening public to buy "Lateralus", with incredible results.
-Andrea rips Whitney Houston's live performance, calls TOOL the heroin of rock and roll and gives herself a really long title that I'm too tired to repeat.
-Andrea gets in a plug for her club and we are out.
