Several. Several. Several. I mean, I don't know if we need to bring it up, but we have done themed episodes in the past, and I don't really know if you understand. Maybe you didn't know what a theme was. You never seemed to really... Do you feel confident in yourself? First of all, I should ask you this. Did you know the theme coming in, or did you just bring tapes?

No, you told me what the theme was. Okay. So going into it, you knew what it was. Yeah, I know there's a theme and I know that it's staying cool in the summer. Staying cool in the summertime heat. Okay. Got to beat the heat. Do you feel...

Beat the heat. Yeah. We got to come up with a title for it. We'll figure that out. Do you feel confident that you brought something up to par? I feel confident in a couple of them, yeah. So you brought a whole bag. I brought a whole bag just to cover my bases.

See, I want Ian to play the ones that are like his C-list. Should we have him go first? No, I'm not going first, that's for sure. He's so scared. You're afraid. I'll tell you what you can do. I'll give you an out right now going into it. Oh, I can leave? You cannot leave the door. You're not going to get paid

if you leave. You will not get paid and the door is locked. You can do your snake pit again. Do you want to do snake tapes instead? No. No. No. I feel like I hit the theme pretty good. Okay, but you don't want to start?

No. Okay, Jamie, give me a tape. Okay. Let's start this off. Get me cool in the summertime heat. It's been hot. It's been real hot. It's been real hot.

Some people say climate change. Some people say global warming. Who knows? There you guys go. What do you got here? This is a tape on one of my favorite labels called Galta Media. Oh, yeah. Out of Pennsylvania,

correct? Or New York. Brooklyn. Where the pizza is. David Lackner did. He used to live in Philly, I believe. This is a tape. Galta number 10. It's David Lackner, John Suena, and Mark Price, I believe.

Dan, this is a long one. There's a lot of tape in here. Super good. I hope you don't have that deck too loud and you're going to blow people's ears off. Way too loud. I didn't get the fade in. Sorry, guys.

So what is this? Oh, smooth end of summer. Oh, man. Now, Ian, this is how you do it, brother. Very good, Jamie. Thank you, thank you. And who is this again?

I didn't hear you when you were saying it. David Lackner, sax player. John Suena is a EVI player. I think he was a former trumpet player, and I think he lost his chops somehow. He lost his chops? He lost his chops. So he only plays like electronic now but

he's like super talented super good jazz player let me tell you what else he plays on here baritone marching horn nice now i mean are you marching there's the horn marching there you go what else do they got in there i love when they put uh well there's mark it's david lackner on sax right mark price sampler oh okay he's got the sampler platter midi keyboard and voice and then you got so this is a collab between these three fellas huh oh yeah and they don't have they just go under their own names yep yep this is a thick-ass card stock isn't it yep you could use that as a fan in the summer this is dual purpose for staying cool 2012 it says this is nice i like this um this artwork and let me tell you right now if i'm on hold right now i'm listening to this and it's a it's a sexy phone call oh yeah yeah

you're supposed to be cooling me down oh okay okay hold on stop reset no you didn't keep it playing I meant mentally let's reset this episode it's all I'm hot and bothered

you he's gonna cool me down you gotta cool me down and let me tell you right now this is turn this up a little bit this is getting me hot as fuck mike i think you had a pair of shorts that looked like the cover of this tape once. A pair of shorts? Like a pair of jams? Yeah, yeah. I see what you're saying. My mom used to make me homemade jams.

Nice. Like that. No. Ooh. Oh, shit. Damn, and he lost those chops? Better find those chops. This is heating me up big time, Jamie.

Let's let it play. Mute us. Let's let this play for a minute. Okay. Let me call. I got to go jump in the shower. © transcript Emily Beynon all right turn this off you gotta turn i'm getting too hot i'm getting too hot i gotta hot. I got something to cool myself off. What do you got there? You know what would cool me off?

Big time. I'm out there on the field doing my laps. You know what I need? What's that? You fellas, I need a juice machine. What? I need a juice machine. So let's pop this in.

Who knows who juice machine is? I don't know Juice Machine. I don't know. You got to turn that deck up, dummy. Juice Machine. The tape's called Spiritual Nutrition. Now, before we go on, you would agree. Turn this down a little bit.

You would agree that a Juice Machine is going to cool me the hell off. What kind of juice are we talking about? Like a Jamba juice. Oh, okay. Yeah, like... Like a frozen... Like I stole a juice machine from an Orange Julius. I got it in my backpack.

And I plug it in someplace, and it's keeping me cool. You can't plug that in a normal AC outlet. You need an electrician. I got a few adapters. You know I carry around a bag of all kinds of adapters. You know that about me. I feel disrespected. No, any kind of juice.

Any kind of juice. That's some pulp right there. I'm going to turn it up a little bit. Turn it up. This is on Dumpster Score. Came out in 2013. Dumpster Score number 109. This is Roger H. Smith.

Does a project called Chef Kirk. Maybe you've heard of it. I've heard of it. And Heather Chessman from Eugene, Oregon. Did it stop? Is it coming back on? I haven't muted it. So is it now I'm getting hot like mad.

Is it Dumpster Score or Dumpster's Core? Oh, wow, Jamie. Good wordsmith question. I don't know. I'm going to say dumpster score because what was the other one? I didn't like that one as much. Dumpster's core.

Let me flip this tape over. How embarrassing. How embarrassing for a podcast. If Dave was here, he'd edit all this out. There's some sounds. But you gotta admit, this is cooling me off. Especially after that friggin' smooth

end of summer. It's the end of the summer, though. That's cool. But remember the chops on it? How sultry they were? They're very hot chops. And how I started sweating and didn't feel comfortable making eye contact. I really didn't feel comfortable. Turn this up a little bit.

We can all do it. So you said the label was Chef Kirk's label. No, I didn't. Oh, you didn't? No, I didn't, Jamie. You said the artist is Chef Kirk? Here's what's going on. Dumpster score. I think that label's at Oregon, too didn't. Oh, you didn't? No, I didn't, Jamie. You said the artist is Chef Kirk? Here's what's going on.

Dumpster score. I think that labels that organ, too. Okay. Andrew Quitter. Oh. One of the Andrews of noise. Yes, one of the many. The storied.

Chef Kirk is Roger H. Smith's project. That's right. This sounds like it. Like, if it was a juice machine, though, it's not working very well. That's right. It sounds like you got something stuck in yeah, it's stuck for sure So I went bold with the protein and just jammed the friggin thing You know like stick a spatula down in there like shake it all I clean that pulp out Let's wait and see if they clean the pop out

What do you do with the what is juicing you get rid of all the fiber with the juice and don't you? So what happens right isn't all the fiber in the pulp and stuff where does it go where does what go but no don't you keep the pulp in not for juicing no you remove the pulp yeah if you ever use a juicer yet no i've never had a juicer it's for like um it's like more cleansing to like not have the fiber in there what's that that mean? It makes you shit more? I think if you go on a juice diet, you do for the first couple of days, but then apparently you're just normal after that. What does that mean, you're normal?

It'll cure your eczema. My friend went on a juice diet. He got rid of his eczema. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Forever? I'm not sure. I haven't checked in with him what's his name um his name is Randy don't really say his name Jamie Jesus Christ what's the social yeah I'm gonna give him his Equifax money tell him to give me a so yeah we're just looking out actually

both you boys write your socials down before you leave. Ian, you think you're ready to, uh... You think you're ready to do this? Yeah. You think you can cool me down? You better cool this guy off. I'm sweating bullets over here, brother. You gotta help me out. He looks so confused. I see a pink shell, see a pink shell that looks that looks cool wait jay

do you want to guess what it is based on the pink shell is it the is it the um dream crusher album on hazy mountain it is okay yeah i recognize it from my shelf wait a minute did you only see the shell well i sort of saw the spine just a little bit, like the white lettering on the pink. Oh, please. That's enough. That's a very unique J card. I would have called that, too. You're not special.

All right, so Dream Crusher. Yeah, so far, I don't got it. All right, there's a track on here. Oh, there's a track. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Jamie, I told you earlier, he wasn't going to be able to do this. I've got to work with what I got.

All right. I got it queued up and everything. You don't have to rewind it. What's the track? Goths at the Beach. Goths at the Beach. Okay. I like it.

I like it, too. I'm not sure if it's going to cool Mike off. B-side? You go to the beach to cool off. You wear all that black, though? You're going to heat up in all that black. Yeah, man. I can already tell this is going to heat me up.

Ooh, that's Dream Crusher right there. I'm all heated up now. That's some crunchy munchies. I have this tape, but I don't know which kid it was. One of my two kids. I was potty training them, and one day I found it in the potty. It was just covered in pee.

I asked them to send me another one. Oh, wait, no, flip it over. Do the other one. I was going to say, that's not Gotsu at the beach. No. Oh, that's Gotsu. There it is. I think it's the one right after this.

Well, anyway, so I got pissed all over this J card, right? Right. So I asked Hatsu Mountain to send me i'll send me another you know you're sending stuff send me another j card they sent me another j card but when i opened up the envelope i ripped it so i just told it died it came up again i just thought they never sent me one i'm not sure if i have it anymore but oh yeah there it is it's too tall to reach. So it's Goths on the Beach. It's coming up.

This one, yeah. I'm all hot again. I'm hotter than I was when we started. Well, because you're down at the beach. I'm so hot. It didn't even start yet. Dave, what did I put this out to? What's Dave doing?

Ian, I don't think anything's coming on. You didn't cue it up. No, stop it. You get your turn taken away. I did, though. Jamie, go. I'm so hot right now, by the way. Catch me off guard, huh? I'm so, so, so very hot.

Whatever. We gotta call the aquarium or something. All right, let me see. I think i have just the thing to cool mike off it's a fucking big seat all right mike what do you got please cool me off i got some lemon crystal sunshine for you baby oh yeah tiger hatchery okay yeah that definitely oh that does the trick some lemon crystal sunshine thank you jamie how is that beating the heat let well it's not's not. It's not at all.

It's a good tape, though. So that's fine. I don't think you're the one that can complain right now. Is there like a special track that it's not queued up to you, Jamie, or anything? No, it's just a bunch of skronky jazz notes. I love this stuff. They're going to blow on these horns? Yeah.

Fuck yeah, blow it on. Deception Island number 28. This is when they were doing... Oh. There it is. Turn it up. They got these wraparound cover, these wraparound things that go around the poly cases.

Yeah. The thing is, though, even how nice it looks, it's still a poly case. I still can't so i'm thinking also lemon lemon is refreshing crystals like crystal light so that's refreshing yeah the sunshine even if the sunshine warms me up a little bit gets my temp up even if the sunshine gets my temp up i have the lemon and the crystal light. You have crystals.

So that's how you do it, Ian. Turn this up a little bit more. And turn Ian's mic down. Turn him all the way down, actually. Mute him. Talk to us, Ian. Say something. What do you got to say? That's right.

Or you can unmute him. You don't mute all of us. guitar solo All right. That jazz is still going. Are we back? We're back. We're back. When did this tape come out? That I don't know Let me see

Sorry You can get on Discogs right now? Yes Tiger What's Oh Lemon Crystal Sunshine It's a C40 Came out in 2010

Tiger Hatchery No Longer Together Correct? Or incorrect? I don't know that either. Are they still playing? I think just like every once in a while. Ben Billington. Ben Billington on the cans.

Right? Yep. Who else? Andrew Scott Young. Yep. Michael Forbes. That's it. Bing, bing, bing, bing. Hell of a trio.

Hell of a trio. Hell of a trio. And this is cooling me down. Yeah. Especially because it's jazz. The coolest genre. It is a cool genre. Fade this down a little bit. Damn, Jamie, that's how you do it.

Thanks. Damn, Jamie. Thanks. I don't hold a cassette trophy at home for nothing. You do have a trophy. Turn that up a little bit. Alright, now I get to go, right? You do.

God, I'm feeling so cool and I'm wondering, do I need to heat myself back up? Just to test Ian. Or do I not trust him? I can't believe you're dropping the ball again, Ian. Tell me what a theme is. All right, ready? Cassette? Wait. No, we're not doing that.

Don't even joke around about that, unless there's official play. I'm going to stay on staying hydrated getting a beverage which is very important i'm gonna play this tape that came out on tranquility tranquility tapes number 63 let me see what year this came out 2012 you're gonna guess 2012 no no no later than that 2015 2014 Rain Drinkers is the name of the project. The tape is called Wood Violet. You know, that's illegal in some states. You can't drink the rain.

What? You mean like catch it in those buckets? Yeah. You can't do that. You can't do that. Why can't you do that? Because, man, that's not your rain. The state owns that rain. That's bullshit. Free market owns that rain.

You got to send that rain to Amazon. They'll bottle it and they'll send it back to you. It's only a one day process and it doesn't cost that much. And if you're a prime member, it's almost free. Ian, I would say this. If you don't like it, you can leave. You're free to leave. You can leave.

You are free to leave and you can take a plane or a bus or a train out. Would you stop? This is my happy time. This is my podcast. This came out, like I said, 2014. It's a duo, Troy Schaefer and Joe Taylor. And, Jamie, Joe Taylor on Discogs has a number after his name. Do you want to guess which one it is?

I'm going to guess like 48. Seven. Seven, okay. Seven. You you guys are in the game this came out around the time caroline teagle pretty much was just phoning the artwork in this is really good but it doesn't remind me of tranquility very different this is very uh intense this is during the credits on a movie like uh cube you ever find out who made the cube you never find that out do you ever see the outside of the cube no this is bad it was a bad movie you know what's funny is i haven't seen the movie until i realized that people are saying it's a bad

movie and i've always liked it and now i feel like people are saying like everybody says it's a bad movie i feel like when i watch it now i'm gonna not like it anymore jamie i'm very m everybody says it's a bad movie, and I feel like when I watch it now, I'm going to not like it anymore. Jamie. I'm very malleable. It's like a movie they would make a mystery science theater of. I know, I know. But when it's on TV, there's something about it that's very entertaining to me. I don't know why.

There's a lot of drama. A lot of drama in this music. Is it making you feel hydrated, Ian? It's making me feel dizzy. What's up, spinning? You've been spinning the whole time you've been here. I think I'm dehydrated. You keep getting wrapped up in your headphone cord.

You know what I'm picturing in my head is like some kind of like escape sequence in Home Alone. Like he's, Kevin McAllister's like running back to his house. That's like a really long run. This seems way too intense for that. I feel like this is more like a robot is involved. Okay. Or some sort of like a Will Smith's there. Will Smith.

Yeah. And he's got a big gun. He's got a future gun. He's going to kill a future thing. It's rather scary. It's, it's actually kind of scary. It's a little bit scary.

But in either event, I think we can all agree that if I'm drinking rain on a hot day, I'm staying cool. If it's hot and I lay down and I just open up my big gauntlet and I just let it all in. In a storm, I go outside and I just soak it all in.

Yeah. Oh, speaking of rain and water and stuff like that, we need to find all those kids who splashed our men in blue in the New York City police department. Oh, did you hear about, did you read about that?

They need to be locked up. Did you see the video somebody posted on Twitter of the guy letting the air out of the cop tires? Yeah, that guy, he was so nonchalant. Yeah.

Like he always does it. Yeah, don't cop tires yeah that guy he was so non-jewish like he was like he always does it yeah yeah don't videotape that guy no don't be a snitch no of course not and how do you know he wasn't putting air in the tire that's true it's a fucking stupid cop's probably driving around flat all week they call them flatfoots don't they or is that a reporter i don't know no what is a flatfoot is that a detective i think that's like a dick tracy term right it's like a 1920s reporter what's a gumshoe gumshoe ian i don't know ian i'm so fucking cool right now i'm having the time of my life i'm sitting around i'm sitting around and i'm saying to myself holy shit this is your summer. You say it every June, Mike, this is your summer,

and it never works out. Every time I say it's the summer, Mike, by June 12th, I'm done. All right, Ian, you got to cool Mike off, and I think, Mike, you got to keep an open mind about this tape, because I think Ian tried. He's trying to cool you off. I like this one.

This is a curved light tape. The tape is called Mineral Wash Ind Tape is called Mineral Wash Indigo Rinse. Mineral Wash Indigo Rinse. Is that what? That's the name of the tape. That's like bathing in a hot spring or something. Oh my god!

Look at this thing! You've never done a mineral wash? I don't understand. How is this cool? A mineral wash? Okay, alright, right. You got it queued up to anything here? No. I feel like we've played this tape before. I like Curved Light. You probably played it.

Is that dude Peter from Texas or something like that? Yeah. Peter Tran. Yeah. He played Newark. Yeah. He's played twice. It's funny. Both times he's played here, he's played Rainbow Records. Oh, really? Yeah. That's weird. Hardly ever do shows there. You got that tape deck times he's played here, he's played Rainbow Records. Oh, really? Yeah. That's weird.

Hardly ever do shows there. You got that tape deck muted or something? Oh, there we go. There's that sweet stuff. You know what that is there? That's one of those synthesizers. Modular. Yeah, that's going to cool me off big time.

Too many wires. Well, sometimes a person can have just the right amount of wires on one of those systems. Just, you don't want too many wires. You don't want to be the guy who only has one wire hanging out. That's a bad look. That's a bad look. Every once in a while, like, ooh. Nah, I know something you're not going to like about that spine's upside that's heating me upside down upside on spine is heating me the fuck up

yeah i just popped the blood vessel i can't take that what did that come out on it's not a self-release i think it's self-release is it yeah how many wires you think he's got in this in this synthesizer because he's done stuff on Holodeck before. I think more recently. Yeah, he's done a bunch of stuff. It's a good label. They email too much. Too many emails. Too many emails from Holodeck. Cool it out, man.

I only got so much storage in my Gmail. I can't get off of some of these lists. Some of these lists, they just put you on the list. I know you got something coming out. I know. You know my favorite email is the one when someone says, just a heads up that I sent you a tape. Alright.

I'll see you when it gets here. Alright. Thanks, man. Don't be mean okay I'm sorry that's just common professionalism it's like when you send your resume you do a job interview you send the follow up

letter I don't do job interviews I'm all for only I am I am cool down now though though, I gotta say. I might look, because I'm drenched in sweat, you might think I'm not, but I am cooled down. That's a base level moisture for me.

Who put this out? Was this self-released? I think so, yeah. Look at the artwork here. Look at this. You don't find shapes like that in nature. A cube? Doesn't exist.

That's it. That is a self-release. And guess who added it to Discogs? If you say it's you, I'm going to be so upset, Jamie. I'm going to be disgusted. It was me. Jesus Christ. I got all the scans in there. Got all the genres.

You know which information Discogs probably has on you. They do. They have a lot of data points. They're selling it to Cambridge Analytica at the moment, right this second. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, hold on. Ian.

Ian. Ian. You must warn us if a synthesizer tape's going to be scary. You've got to be kidding. Jamie, are you okay? I'm on again. I'm on again. I'm on again. I'm at full temp.

I can't believe you would do that. I got something to cool you down Mike Wait I just need to know For me How fucking long have you been planning that one I seriously didn't know that was coming I saw a little A little

Grin on your face When you handed me the tape You were like I was thinking what's Mike going to say about this one? He was kind of like, here's a curved light tape. Then he kind of went. If you turn up that part on your headphones, he goes, That didn't happen. Hold on. Let me see if it's still happening.

Oh, come on. No. Ian, you dropped the ball again. Jamie, it's your turn, and let me let you know right now, brother, I've never been this hot. All right, I got something to cool you off. I got something that you can stick right in your pie hole.

What is it? You ever eat some grapefruit? I actually have once. That's a summertime citrus. I love grapefruit. Breakfast. One time when I was like eight years old, I thought I was biting into an orange. It was a grapefruit. One time when I was like eight years old, I thought I was biting into an orange

and it was a grapefruit. It was a flavor sensation I wasn't prepared for and I never revisited the grapefruit. Never went back. It's bold. It's a bold flavor. It's definitely... It is a refreshing one, so thank you for... Oh, there we are. All right.

I almost wonder why I was mad at Ian. I say almost because I'll never forget because that was the scariest thing that's ever happened on this podcast. This is cool, meow. This is like a pair of Hawaiian shirts. A pair of Hawaiian shirts. What is this, field hymns?

It is. I could see those field hymns um you see the snake i was gonna say i see the tiny little hammers okay look all over at that design um nothing from field hymns this year right 2019 no field hymns releases haven't heard of anything was there anything last year goodness i don't know. Sorry. Hold on. Jamie's plugged in. This is a very important label.

I mean, this is the one we can let slide. Oh, you know, the most recent tape was that Oxykitten tape. That was 2018. Turn this down a little bit. And that comp, right? They put out that comp. It was a double tape. Gleeking the cube.

I forget what it was called. Oh, Mega Breath? No, that was 2017. Either way, I forget what it was called. Oh, Mega Breath? No, that was 2017. Either way, I mean, this is important. This isn't like, a lot of these labels, you get this a lot with tapes. With these fucking noisers. These weirdos.

Let's just say what it is, these weirdos. Then a label will pop up, they'll put out a, they'll go hard, and then they'll just disappear, they'll be gone. 80% of the time, that's fine, man. But this is an important one. Somebody's got to go knock on his door. Where are they based out of?

I want to say Nebraska. I want to say something stupid like Iowa. Iowa, yeah. But it was at one point Portland. Okay. I don't know though i don't know what's going on i'm not really worried if anything's wrong with them it's just you know just if you foresee something coming up in the future where you'll have to stop stockpile a few releases and then just have it on like that's a a good idea. They automatically... It's like when John McAfee gets arrested, that he has data that automatically goes out

if he's not released. Half the tapes automatically get released. I'm sure you can do that with Bandcamp. Sweep that filter, baby. Do we know anything about this project? Who is this? I just looked it up. It's a solo project

by um let's see I forget the name Charles Salas Humara isn't it someone who's in like Bitchin' Bajas or something like that

or am I totally off I don't know I know nothing about it way off aren't I in groups Panther regular music

Sun Angle The Planet The yeah sounds like I'm way off. Yeah. I thought it would have been the person who does this label and the artwork for it. Because, like, I think there's a lot of anonymous projects. This part, though. God damn.

Those drums. I feel like I'm on the islands right now. I feel like I'm melting an ice cube underneath my armpit. Damn, you're cooling me off, Jamie. I was worried for a while that we were going to have to end this hot. And I didn't know what I was going to do because I can't go to sleep. I can't sleep hot. I like an icy cold.

Yeah, man. Though I do hear also air conditioning is canceled. Ugh. Should we fade this down? Let me go? I'll fade it down. Fade it down real slow. Oh, yeah.

Give me some reverb. And fade the music back up a little bit. Oh, yeah. You're listening to Brave Fruit. Actually, the song's actually fading out. Okay. Well, then it a little bit. Oh yeah, you're listening to Grapefruit. Actually, the song's actually fading out. Okay, well then it didn't work. Take it away. Now I'm a little hot. Look at the color. This blue shell.

Actually, I'm cool again. Now what am I going to play? I have a few here. I won't peek. I'm gonna I'm gonna play this one even though it will

warm me up Thames tapes called Hot Room on AA which was I don't know Nate Young

from Wolf Eyes' label I think it stood for Aryan Asshole or something like that shorted it to AA because you know I want to write that over and over again? I wouldn't want to put that bumper sticker on my car.

No, no. You do seem like a bumper sticker on the car kind of guy, though. Never done it once, actually. No, nothing? Not even like support your local police kind of thing? I do put those Lend-A-Paw bumper stickers and uh salt air i'm a big fan of salt air yeah what is salt i have oh salt life sorry yeah salt life i have no idea what that means uh what does it mean i think it's people who like are around the beach a lot or like around

water and they just like they take that on as like an identity they want to like signal to other salt like yeah like um how is it different than being a jeep person chilling i mean it's like there's like a venn diagram and there's definitely overlap there's overlap yeah but there's definitely like hardcore people in in either camp who are mixing with it like there's g people who don't want anything to do with the salt life people and vice versa. Hold on. Hold on. Are you on the subreddit for this or something? We'll get to how he knows it later.

I'm tapped in. So what Jeep person doesn't like the Salt Life people? It seems like if you have a Jeep, you got it because you're riding that sucker on the beach. Not always.

Okay. Plake 64 and the Hexagrams called Crossing the Great Stream. Okay. And this is the title track from that tape. Oh, that's it? Crossing the Great Stream. Okay. Crossing the Great Stream.

Let's talk it over. Okay. Play that side. This side right here? Yeah. That's the A side, I believe. believe well you get just marker on here I didn't put it there so let's talk this through crossing the great stream so you're saying it's hot it's summertime trying to get to the other side of the stream so you cross cross it. You cross it. Done. You know what?

Dean, goddammit, you did it, man. My friend. You did it. Thanks. You pulled me off. Thanks. Quack. Ian, Alex Homan, a former Delaware resident.

Yeah. Where does he live now baltimore baltimore which no human would want to oh goodness did you read it do you see that in the paper don't bring it up to me again i'm allowed to mention it casually but let's we're not getting into a conversation i don't even know what you're talking about you can tell me later i'll tell you later he's quite the clowns, man. What is this, a guitar? Yeah. He's just going to play it?

Is this just Alex Oman? Pretty sure. Are the hexagrams people, or is that just a fun thing? I think at times there were other people in it. I'm pretty sure this one's a solo one. I think they put out two or three other tapes, and they sound a lot different than this one, this one's quite a bit more folky

a lot of his recent stuff has been more folky, guitar based Ian, did you think I wasn't going to notice? what? something inside? did you think I wasn't going to notice? I don't know what you're talking about what's wrong with it? the inside is completely upside down Did you think I wasn't going to notice? I don't know what you're talking about.

What's wrong with it? The inside is completely upside down. Ian. The inside. Hold on. Or is it art? You don't know art. Actually, hold on.

I take this back. It might be art. It might be upside down because of art. Because there's a picture on the cover. I'll press play. There's a picture on the cover. I'll press play. There's a picture on the cover here of this, I don't know, of this outside thing that's all fucked up. It does look refreshing when I see it. The picture is oriented the same way on the inside.

It's just the text that's upside down. So I think the text is upside down because it was of choice. Okay. The way Picasso didn't do the eyes right you don't know i don't understand art i like alex does a good delaware dan character he's got a guy named delaware dan oh so good that's the hardest i've laughed in like all this year probably was when he did that i wish i had the tape at the ready i have a delaware dan tape runner do you really i didn't So good. That's the hardest I've laughed all this year, probably, was when he did that.

I wish I had the tape at the ready. I have a Delaware Dan tape around here. Do you really? I didn't know he did any tapes. Yeah. For the people at home, that is on YouTube. If you type in Delaware Dan Final Friday, it's a good one. There's a lot of Delaware-specific jokes. It might not be funny to you.

Actually, no, don't even bother. Don't bother. Do not look it up Please please don't do it We don't have the bandwidth This is cooling me down Are we still crossing the stream or did the track move on The track moved on I think I think we reached the other side

The stream or the tape The stream we reached the other side of the stream or the tape the stream all right and I've been mad at you the whole the whole time but I gotta say in the end I think you really came through with this one appreciate it Jamie you got a tape you want to play? I do. I'm sort of getting to the bottom of the barrel, though. Oh, yeah? You think you're going to be able to cool me off one last time? I'll try. I'll try. Cool me off one last time.

Let's do one more round. All right. How do you feel the risk... Here's the risk we take. We could stop the episode now. And I'm cool as shit. I'm cool as a cucumber, man. Pickle me.

I'm ready to go. Or we can play more of these fucking tapes. We can get a little bit more content on the web. But you run the risk of overheating me, and you boys might pack in for a long night. Let's go for it. Let's go for it. Let's give the people what they want.

What do you got? All right, I got Pina Collider for you. You got what? Pina Collider. And I know you played this on the actual podcast before, so I apologize for that. I remember the light side and dark side. Yeah.

The tape says light side and dark side. It's a good tape. Oh, private issue New Age. Oh, yeah, I remember this now. Yes, sir. What's the deal with this? What makes one side a light side and one side a dark side? Side two, progressive relaxation.

Okay, I guess we're on side two. You are relaxed and comfortable. No, I'm not. Breathe naturally. You are letting go of tension. No. No. No. No. You are letting go of tension. All tension. Take three deep breaths. Okay. I am getting cool.

What is that? Gave you some chorus. A little didgeridoo. Is that real? Is that MIDI? A little didgeridoo. Is that real? Is that MIDI? It's not a polite question to ask, Ian. Yeah, man, you're not supposed to ask that, Ian.

That's fucked up, man. Is that real? Of course it's real. This is good. This is cooling me off. So who put this out? Who collected all this stuff? And do you still have that effect on my voice?

I don't. Okay. I can't really hear myself. Oh, I'm sorry. Actually, I didn't think we'd get to this tape, so let me look it up real quick. We're in a collider. I see Mixed from Cassette Tapes by J.C. Osmanson. The Realizer. There's not a whole lot of information about this tape.

Should we just find it? I don't know who the artist is. It's on this label called Stimulus Progression, which has 22 releases on Discogs. This came out in 2016. Should we find the episode where we played it on and just play that? Yeah. Let's see how far into the episode.

Oh, this is mixed from cassettes by J.C. Osmanson, The Realizer. I just fucking said that. Oh, you did? Sorry, I was on another planet. Hold on, we can probably... Let me see here. You want to find the episode? I got it.

This was three years ago, episode 81. Is it playing? I got you all the way up. It's a good one to do. It was a good one to do. Oh, you know what? I got it figured out. First. All right, Dave know what? I got it figured out. First.

All right, Dave, what do you got? Let's play this. Okay. One day. Oh, we already passed it. Okay. Should we just listen to this for a bit? Yeah, we should. That's a really good name.

That's a really good name. So far, phone would be a good project name, I think. I actually texted that to Joe. Did you? Oh, you did. Okay, I think. I actually texted that to Joe. Did you? Oh, you did. Okay, I don't want to do that. I'm going to play a tape. And you know what?

I got two tapes here. Weather exposed and weather exposed skeleton music. Whoa. Are you kidding me? That just broke right in my hands. That's planned obsolescence. They make these tapes that they break, so you got to buy another copy. I did get an email from Orange Milk that was like,

the warranty on your Noroco case is about to expire. Well, I'm going to play this sun poisoning tape then. Sun poisoning? That's not going to cool you off. No. I'm trying to make this challenging for Ian. Gosh. This sun poisoning tape.

Tusco Embassy. Listen to that. This is Nathan Bowers who was in Tusco Terror. Who also may be still running this label out of California. This came out in like, I don't know,

maybe 2016? In addition of like 15 copies. I could see like Rush getting out on stage to this music. The arenas. Yeah. Like a video montage just playing on the big screen.

Ladies and gentlemen. You want to do a little intro now? On drums. Put your hands together. Wait, turn the tape up. Turn the tape up and try it again. The titans of rock and roll.

Gods. Among men Mr. Geddy Lee Neil Peart on drums And I forget the guitar player's name That's okay I think it's Alex something. So today is one day before my birthday, actually. Ooh.

What's the guitar player's name in Rush? You guys don't know? It's on the tip of my tongue. I can't remember. It's Alex something. Ooh, what happened there? Now that's a polite synthesizer taping. That's how you do it.

That when one nice track ends, it slowly fades out and it goes into a track like this. Not a scary one. This is tight. You know what, though? Ian. You going to take us out? There is so much pressure on you right now, by the way.

I mean, I wouldn't... If I were you, I would just fucking... I would have left already, actually. But I would definitely leave now before playing a tape. Leave all my shit behind and just fucking go, man. Do you think you can do it? Sure. Such a blasé attitude.

What do you got? Cool me off. This is your last chance. All right. And let me let you know right now, if it's a fucking track title, you didn't do the job. Wait, I think I brought...

He's putting... I think I brought this tape. You want to buy the tapes for me? You both brought the same tape? This is interesting. Yeah, I brought... Actually, I didn't bring it, but it was on my list to bring,

and I didn't bring it. This has never happened before. This is... This is going to Yeah, I brought... Actually, I didn't bring it, but it was on my list to bring, and I didn't bring it. This has never happened before. This is... This is going to be a good one. I think this is going to save the day. Long Distance Poison. Wait a minute. You played this last time.

No, I didn't. For the bug one. Did I? Is there a song about cobras on it? Are you... You just didn't... Hold on. Here's what happened.

You just didn't take these tapes out of your bag last time, did you? No, but this one fits. Let me hold it. Is this the one? Perfect weather. Is this the one with the cobra? It does have a cobra on it.

You played this one. Yeah, he did play it. But just play a non-cobra track. No, don't put it back. Don't put it back. I got another one. Wait, what do you got there? You're not going to like this one, though, because it's not going to cool you down.

Did you play this one last time, too? No. This is a Joe B tape. Oh, I know that guy. All right all right all right that will cool me down tape's called sweet water yeah oh sweet water like a wrap the first track is called heat wave though so ah prank prank you are just full of pranks tonight should we call joe b and let him know we're playing the tape? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, call him up, Jamie. Wait, remember, I don't have the right adapter.

Put it on speakerphone, put it by your mic. Jesus Christ. This isn't cereal. Fine, fine, fine. I apologize. I saw Joby the other night. I said, I'm sorry I called you like a... I had to talk like a baby the last time I called him.

Oh, I forgot about that. That was good. You did talk like a baby. I like ending these bonus episodes with a good call to Joe B. Hello? Hey, Joe. It's Jamie. Hey, Jamie.

Still talk like a baby. Hey'm not gonna hey we're playing your tape just wanted to let you know do the baby voice we all want the baby voice hi joe b what tape we're playing your tape from uh from your label uh what's your label called flying in magic a lot of tapes in my time.

What else are you guys doing? We're just hanging out. Oh, nice. Do you get a pizza? No, we don't do that. This show doesn't really have a budget. Oh, all right. I see.

I see. You got to pay out of pocket for that. Yeah, we do. this is this is this show doesn't really have a budget oh this is it this is this is the closer this is a good beat so how so like what was your inspiration for making this song I don't even know ask him if it'll cool me down is it going to cool Mike off because this is a show about heat you're putting Ian in a very difficult position right now

he chose it, he knew it was going to happen here's a sugar beet. All right. Well, you boys have a good time. Okay. You too. Enjoy. Bye, Joe.

Bye. Bye. Okay. It sounded like he was whispering. He didn't say what he was up to, though. What do you think he was doing? I feel like he's always just waiting around, waiting to take that call. Maybe, yeah. He's probably staring at that phone yeah all right well wait let's let's let this tape play out i gotta go jump in the pool i could jump in a bucket of ice i got a
