Radio MXUT Vol. 1 - Slam, Jump, Stand
We went back in time to the year 1993 to ask 75 middle-school students what they would want to hear on an Internet radio "podcast" from the year 2005. Their answers very much surprised us - Liz Phair! The Turtels! [sic] The Russian Futurists! The Answers to this Pop Quiz on Animal Farm - and we hightailed it back to 2005 to put the cooler kids' song selections and self-written skits (!) into a fifty-five minute radio mega-mix, adding only the occasional mashup and George Michael track to make things sound adequately futuristic. So, without further ado, we present the first installment of Radio MXUT - created as part of the wonderful Tokyo-based bilingual culture magazine OK FRED's special guest-DJ radio-show series.

Well, when I hear "early '90s" plus "UT", my thoughts turn inexorably to this

Forgot to mention I enjoyed the mix very much. Especially u.t. as RMN!

Yes, I liked Nixon's plaintive comment about the weather.
