Comment

While in town for a performance at the Empty Bottle on the 17th and the Fireside Bowl on the 18th, the Unicorns stopped by the studios at WNUR 89.3 FM on the campus of Northwestern University to record a set for "Airplay," the station's live music show. At the Fireside show the band told me they thought they sounded horrible on this recording, on account of little sleep and a recent family death, but in my opinion, it’s a real pleasure to listen to.

When it was broadcast over the air, the set was edited down. In this recording, however, nothing has been omitted – it includes several false starts, impromptu jams, explicit language, and even some awkward silence. Enjoy this previously uncirculated Unicorns gem, and share it with the world.
