I discovered LoveLine back in 1996 when the MTV show premiered it was the 2nd month of 7th grade and I had just turned 13 a few days before the 1st ep, at the time I watched a fair amount of mtv so I caught the show by chance and found it to be very compelling.
Immediately I was aware of Adam’s humor and the unique rapport between him and Drew, the show would air 5-7 nights a week with marathons on the weekend that would be 2-6 episodes from 11pm/12m-5am, that whole November and December of 1996 all the memories I have in some way involve the LoveLine mtv show.
Shortly after I discovered the TV show I discovered the much superior radio show which at the time was syndicated on 100.7 the buzz in Wa state, this must have been sometime in 1997 or so.
I then began archiving mp3’s of the show in late 98 and have been doing it ever since, I have been working in and around various online communities since the late 90’s, I remember exchanging old mp3’s on the original Napster, Audiogalaxy, too many gnutella clients to name and many other different P2P programs, I’ve been using the DC++ hub since the early days and would frequent all the old LL ftp’s (kevin U’s, lovelinehamandcheez, etc.) I used to love downloading from the Lovelinearchive (RIP) and worked on Lovelinecentral (RIP) with Adam D. and rush before it was closed down.
In the past few years my efforts have been dedicated to finding old tapes and then transferring them, I have a unique setup for the process and very specific settings, it results in the best sounding shows yet to be released, It takes me about 3-4 weeks on average for 100 shows but I have done 200 in less than 6 weeks before, these old fan made recordings are the last hope we have of ever completing the archive, if you’re reading this and have any tapes please email me ASAP.
Loveline is deeply woven into the last 13yrs of my life and no matter how much I hear the old eps I never can seem to get enough nor does it ever get old to me.
