Mentors "you axed for it"

I discovered the #mentors by listening to the college radio station WBNY in the late '80s.  Where I lived in the suburbs it took a lot of work to listen to the station.  It's grossly under powered transmission was meant for the campus only so tuning it in my neighborhood was like summoning a demonic overlord.  I would go to the northwest corner of my grandmother's apartment upstairs in the duplex where we lived.  I'd sit by the window (opened if possible, weather permitting ) and in this precise area at a precise time I would fold what must have been pounds of tin foil in exotic origami like shapes to the fully extended antennae of my boom box. I would constantly wiggle and adjust the setup until the crackly semi-clear transmission could be heard.  I would have a cassette tape cues up to record with the pause button engaged so that I could record songs with a gentle button push so as not to disturb my delicate and tenuous set up.  The metal show on wbny was legendary to my circle of friends, they played tons of underground stuff that we devoured.  A friend of mine had captured the song "four F club" from this album on tape and we all poured over it's vulgar lyrics and cave man metal. We had spent hours memorizing John Valby tapes (look him up) so the sexist dirty lyrics were a welcome addition to our collection of forbidden media.  It was a song I had always hoped to catch myself.  It was a quest.  We traded these tapes we made of the show and compiled our favorite songs (Thrust's "posers will die" became legendary this way)  but I really wanted my own Mentors song trapped on my own cassette.  Actually, come to think of it that song had no business on the radio but WBNY felt like a pirate radio and I suppose at the time it kinda was.  I eventually caught "four F club" and "sandwich of love" on tape.  It wasn't until pretty recently that I ever owned a proper release by the band.  I try not to smirk at the gross lyrics but I still do.  This is not a cd I play when the kids are around.
