Side A begins with a demo from this month’s interview subject, Todd Manley at WCKG in Chicago. Todd’s having too much fun! On to Cut 2…just when you think there’s no other way to sell a gentlemen’s club, along comes Matt Anthony with a spot for Bambi’s. And check out that car wash spot on Cut 3! Spanish speaking listeners were sure to get a kick out of Cut 5 for Flores Restaurant. Writer Dennis Coleman came up with three names for Mexican dishes he used in the spot. Translated they mean, in order of appearance, “rice and more rice,” “hot water with cheese,” and “grandmother with lettuce.” Cut 7 from Kurt Kaniewski was one of two winners he had in the recent Silver Mike Awards. The spot picked up Best of Show/Best Use of Music. And the rest of Side A is more of the same great show of commercial creativity!
Side B opens with the audio for this month’s Producer’s VU column, an excellent piece of production from Dan Culhane. Check out Dan’s production techniques in this month’s Producer’s VU, and check out the audio on The Cassette! Lots of great promo work on the rest of Side B. Tom Richards makes good use of Stevie Nicks in the studio on Cut 3. And we couldn’t resist helping Dave Hanson take a poke at Mr. Clinton, so Side B wraps with a well done piece called “The Clinton Song.”
