Tabs out.
Bonus episode.
I am going to say it's too spooky.
Way too spooky.
It's too scary. It's too scary.
It's too scary.
It's well too scary, Jamie.
Tabs out.
Because that podcast bonus episode
here with the bonus brigade on mic.
Hey, I'm Ian.
I'm Jamie.
Whoa.
What happened there?
You all right, buddy?
I'm Jamie.
Don't fuck up.
Dave does not like when you mess with his mixer.
I'm Jamie.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
He thinks those controls are scary, and he doesn't like when you do them.
Just a little bit.
All right, just a little bit.
Mix it a little bit.
All right, we are here today on this special bonus episode to have a bit of a rematch.
We're going to play a little game.
I wish I had a theme song for it.
We're going to play a little game. I wish we had a theme song for it. We're going to play
a little game called
Ready, Cassette, Go.
Again.
Ian's clapping
because Jamie,
I believe last time
he wiped the...
Did he wipe your ass
with the floor?
He wiped the floor
with your ass?
Is that what you would do?
That's not the saying, is it?
You wipe the floor
with his ass?
Why would you do that?
Why would you wipe the...
That would seem like
I'm dominating the floor
and that I'm doing good.
Because someone's holding you
and wiping the floor
with your bare ass.
Is this a show of dominance?
Wait, is he wiping
my ass on the floor?
See, I...
Bing! Flag!
Okay, let's get into this
because you know why?
This is a very special episode.
A very special version
of the game.
Okay.
Because Ian, you asked last time when you wiped Jamie's ass,
you...
Keep going.
I don't want to get caught up on it.
You asked, what do you win?
Well, now you'll be competing for the Tabs Out Ready Casseco trophy.
Whoa.
Get a look at that.
Ian, I'm going to hand that to you right now.
You hold on to that.
Wow.
You use like a soldering iron for that?
No, there's just a little nail.
I'll put a picture of it on the Twitter.
That's a solid gold cassette though.
Yeah.
Whoever wins gets to have this trophy in their home
and no one else will have it and it's the only one.
But first, you will have to win the game of Ready, Cassette, Go!
And here is how you play, just to remind everyone.
There are nine tapes on the table that I'm about to reveal.
I'm going to lift this blanket up.
I don't know where this blanket came from.
Here are the tapes.
Oh, boy.
All right, the tapes that we have are Goblin Trap,
Walking Among Unquiet Trees, Unlighten Up Sounds.
It comes in this little vellum envelope. I like that.
I like the wax seal.
It's beautiful.
We have Sarah Henney's Orienting Response for Guitar.
You all right?
Yeah.
A self-release tape in a wooden box there.
Don't get too into these just yet.
Ayatollah.
Mano Ambient Insolibre.
I didn't say that right on Nail Bat.
I see it.
You see it?
Matt Bachman, Walking Preference.
How do you say this?
Orendal?
O-R-I-N-D-A-L?
Arendal?
Arendal.
Rambutan, The Salt Migration on Tape Trip.A.L.? Arendal? Arendal. Rambutan, the salt migration on tape drift.
Okay.
German Army, move nine, Fort Evil Fruit.
Put that out.
Wetman Chelmets.
Doesn't remember.
He doesn't remember.
Tape's called Doesn't Remember.
Strategic Tape Reserve.
Put that out.
Soda Light.
Bale and Stone on Inner Islands.
Or is it Inner Island? Is it one island or is it a bunch?
I can never remember.
And then Jay Soliday. Synth Tidings
Volume 1 on the label
Not Quite Archaic.
Here's how the game is played.
I'm going to put in a
cassette tape. Ian, you went first
last time, but also you are the returning
champ, so you get to go first again.
Okay.
I'm going to put in a...
Okay.
Jamie, do you have a problem with that?
No, I was going to say, I thought I went first last time, and I think that's...
When I listen back to the episode, I think that's why I lost, because I think I narrowed
something down, and then Ian got an advantage.
Oh, you do, huh?
Well, Ian, then you get to decide who goes first, I suppose.
I'll give Jamie the first. Because apparently Jamie's been fucking studying this shit, like the guy who's get to decide who goes first, I suppose. I'll give Jamie the first.
Because apparently Jamie's been fucking studying this shit
like the guy who's on Jeopardy right now, I guess.
I've been listening to so much noise and so much tapes.
Alright.
Well, I'm going to play a tape.
Ian, you're going to get a chance to guess
which of these tapes it is. If you get it
right, you will be given
a tab. I have tabs around here
somewhere. Little tabs. I'll find them. You'll be given a tab. I have tabs around here somewhere. Little tabs.
I'll find them. You'll be given
a tab. With those tabs
you can buy a lifeline. There's a bowl.
I hear the pin already.
I will remind you.
I will remind you.
There are lifelines in this bowl.
There is also a single
pushpin.
If you think this push pin is not sharp,
if you think it is dull and it will not hurt you,
my friend, you're in for a surprise
that will be a pinchy surprise.
It will hurt you. It is sharp.
It is a fucking push pin.
By definition, it has to be sharp.
There's just nothing I can do about it.
So why don't you guys look away while I pick the first tape it's in the deck you got that deck on
mute it I do and we're off yeah you got to say your piece right going on or
swimming on don't you say that oh and Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Ian, you're going to go.
Ian, ready?
You did listen to the episode, Jamie.
Oh, yeah, that reverb.
Give me reverb.
All right.
Ready.
Too much.
Take it down.
That's so much reverb.
I want it like Hendrix.
Hendrix had a fader.
He had it just perfect every time.
Ready. Ready.
That takes me back to Woodstock.
Cassette.
Go.
Turn it up a little bit.
Oh, it sounds like it's just fading out.
Let's see if something comes in,
if that was the end of the tape.
And we are off
Ian Franklin
your initial thoughts
on the first selection
what's going through your head buddy
well it's a very
kind of peaceful maybe somber feel.
It is.
I feel good.
So far, just some guitar, maybe a different stringed instrument.
So you think it's a guitar, huh?
I do.
Interesting.
Anything that'd make you think about anything on this table?
What is he grabbing?
I see he picked up the Soda Light tape.
Bale and Stone on Inner Island.
Or Islands.
Did we even figure it out?
Jamie.
I want to say Islands.
You want to say it?
Then check.
And you will have permission.
I'm allowed to check Discogs right now?
Big time, yeah.
Okay.
I remember last time I was not allowed.
That's Soda Light Tape.
I don't know who it is, but it's someone from Melbourne, Australia.
Oh.
You think the Aussies could make the music like this, Ian?
Anything's possible.
Inner Islands, plural.
More than one island.
More than one.
Good for them.
Hmm.
Now you're holding the Rumbleton tape.
What is that, a fruit, right?
Yeah.
A Rumbleton.
It's a spiky fruit.
Yeah.
This tape's called the Salt Migration.
That's Tape Drift's 100th release.
Eric Hardiman's label.
Is this a new one?
But is that what we're listening to?
Ian, Jamie, turn it down just a little bit.
I'm going to need a guess. All right.
I'm going to say it's the Sarah Hennies.
Sarah Hennies?
Orienting response for guitar.
And you did say you thought he was playing guitar.
Yeah.
Ian, the returning champion is not right.
Jamie, a chance for a steal.
What do you say?
I'm going to go for the rambutan.
I know he's a shredder. He's a guitar? I'm going to go for the rambutan. I know he's a shredder.
He's a guitar player.
You want to pick up that rambutan tape?
Survey said!
I don't have a right sound,
but yes, that is what it is.
Can't do it all at once.
No, no, that was good enough.
Alright, clear this up.
Ian, are you worried now?
Jamie, just...
I was looking at that one.
That was going to be my second guess.
But you didn't pick it.
Put that tape in there.
True.
It's okay.
I still haven't found those tabs.
They're a little vile.
Does anyone see a little vile of blue cassette tabs?
It's like the worst choice of something you could use.
Not on top of the tape deck.
Oh, here they are. They're in front of me.
Oh, good lord. Good lord. Jamie, you just
earned yourself a tab, and you've taken the lead
in Ready, Set, Go. Ian, you have
to be worried right now.
Here's your tab. Now,
Jamie, Orlando. Yes, sir.
What do you want to do?
Oh, no, no.
Close your eyes.
Alright, I got this queued up to something.
All right.
Jamie Orlando, juice that reverb, brother.
Give it to me just like I like it.
There it is.
Ready, cassette, go.
Did you unmute the tape deck?
Oh, it's real low.
Come on, man.
Come on.
You can bust my balls here, buddy.
Come on. Don't prank me.
Well, listen to that. That's scary, right?
Or maybe it's not scary. I don't know.
Turn up a little bit more.
You hear this?
What do you think?
Part of me is thinking
German Army. Sounds a little bit like it might be them.
Which part are you?
My it or my ego?
Or my something or other?
Alright.
I'm also looking at this Ayatollah tape
and I have no idea who Ayatollah is
but I feel like this could come out of an artist
named Ayatollah.
You think so, huh?
Ayatollah is Luis Felipe
Hineo Bostamente
a.k.a. Filippo Laresca
in salubrious
electronics, physical and analog evidence.
Hmm. Yeah.
That's Nail Bat Tapes number 24
in addition of 25.
But is it what we're listening
to? God damn it, Jamie.
I'm going to go with Ayatollah. You're going to guess already?
Wait, wait, wait.
I forgot about my...
Well, you do have a tab.
You can use the tab.
But I'm not even going to bring up the pushpin again,
because you should know by now.
You should know there's a pushpin in there.
I kind of feel like...
You should know how sharp it is.
I kind of feel like it's not German Army now.
If you had a pushpin and it was dull,
what good was it going to be for?
Nothing.
You just throw it away.
They're sharp. But this sounds like a little bit bit middle eastern and ayatollahs are middle
eastern right i suppose so yeah sure okay this is like a like a thematic like maybe i might take it
too literally it's really grand isn't it turn it up a little bit more very bombastic Turn it up. Ooh.
Hey.
Give yourself some reverb.
Do that again.
Hey.
Oh.
That was pretty good.
All right, Jamie.
Bring it down a little bit.
Are you going Ayatollah?
Is that your guess?
I was going to use a lifeline, but I think I'm pretty confident in this.
I don't know why.
Ayatollah is Jamie's guess.
And Jamie, you are incorrect.
Ian, for the seal, what do you say?
I'm going to say it's the Goblin Trap.
The Goblin Trap tape?
Why do you think it's the Goblin Trap tape?
Well... Walking Among Unguide Trees.
Lighten Up Sounds number 123.
I've
heard other stuff from this label.
And then
I get the kind of vibe
darker
moods. The front
has like a
druid guy walking
along a pond. Yeah, and listen
to this. Jamie, that's a good he got it you got it
all right it's got a wax seal there's a wax seal on the back and i gotta say it comes in this
that looks really good actually it's in an arelco case that and then it comes in
this shell is also nice right it's like a tapioca bar i love this
color on the shell it's beautiful great it's beautiful get out of here of course it's good
um but like once you break the envelope once you tear that vellum envelope yeah it's it's
fucking it's just loose in there it's just wiggling around in there if you had like something
like your car had a part like that you take it to the fucking dealer. You'd say, fix it. I don't feel safe.
I don't feel safe. Jamie, you would say,
I have a young baby. I can't drive
around with an Erelco
rattling around in there.
I wonder if you use a hair dryer or something, if you could loosen
that wax just a little bit. Jesus Christ, you're a pervert.
No, no, no. Moving on.
Ian. Yeah. Close your eyes,
fellas. It's going to be your turn.
Okay. Alright, fellas. It's going to be your turn. Okay.
All right, yeah.
All right, let's do this.
Wow, this cake is good.
Ready, cassette, go.
Oh.
Listen to that. cassette. Go. Oh.
Listen to that.
Give me some reverb. I'll sing you.
Where all the blood of the
milkman
rolls down
I'm trying to listen here. This is my turn. Oh, it's Ian's turn? Milkman rolls down.
I'm trying to listen here.
This is my turn.
Oh, it's Ian's turn?
Yeah, what are you grabbing the shit for?
I'll keep the reverb on me.
Ian, what are you thinking?
I can't hear it. I have a question.
Why is it Ian's turn?
Because I won the first round and then Ian won.
No, Ian went first and then you just went. And now it's Ian's turn. Ian went first because he's the first round and then Ian went. No, Ian went first and then you just went and now
it's Ian's turn. Ian went
first because he's the returning champ.
Because he mopped your ass?
What did he do to your ass?
Nothing.
Because he wiped a floor on your
ass. What does that mean?
I don't know. Ian went first
and then you went and you got it wrong and then
he guessed it. Oh, that's right. That's right.
I forgot.
We've literally only done two rounds, Jamie, and you don't smoke any weed.
Very short-term memory.
Yeah, so try to keep up.
What are you thinking, Ian, about this one?
Just a bit of guitar here.
Yeah, I don't know.
I could sing more if you needed me to.
No, it's okay.
Too scary.
Do you think that's a loop or do you think they're just playing?
Oh, that was different.
I think they're playing.
So what do you think it is?
You've grabbed a couple of tapes there.
You got that Sotolite tape again.
You just like it?
I can't catch the vibe from it. I do like the pebble in the front.
It's like a pebble you'd find in keith rankin's pocket yeah all right yeah i'm glad we all knew what that meant very shiny the
beach that that keith rankin goes to there's a bit of a lens flare on it yeah yeah enough lens
flare that you're like that's kind of stupid that's when you know the lens flare is like a
robert beatty lens flare you're like oh it's kind of dumb it's like yeah then you know it's right it's good it's in that sweet spot
don't make the lens flare look it has to look fake yeah it can't look real don't give me a
make it real it has to look like mist the video game yeah yeah and you can't fuck with the
settings too much yeah and what tape do you think this is?
If you're waiting for something else to happen on it,
I don't know how long that's going to be.
And I got a bus.
I got a bus to catch, so we got to make this quick.
What chord is that?
That's a good question.
What was this?
What do you think this is, a Fender?
Fender Strat?
No, I think it's like a Martin acoustic.
Really?
You don't think it's a Fender Strat, Jimmy?
Thanks.
Thanks, bud.
Thanks for showing up for the podcast.
I think it's like a Birch Maple.
I don't know.
Ian.
I'm going to go with the Soda Light.
You're going with the Soda Light.
You keep grabbing it until you figured that's what you want.
It is not the sodalite.
Has anyone got one right on their first chance?
Jamie, a chance to steal.
Okay.
You know what I'm going to do?
Wait a minute.
Ian, did I give you a tab?
Oh, no.
No, that's it.
Okay.
Here, I'm going to give Ian my tab because I'm going to use my tab this time.
You're going to use your tab, Jamie.
You're going to use your tab.
I'm going to use it because I'm a little nervous.
Reach into there. I don't know what's in that.
You've got to reach in real hard. You've got to push your fingers
in real hard. I can't do that.
What's it say? Remove one
tape from play this round.
Okay, so I'm going to remove one tape.
Maybe I should
remove the Sotolite tape.
I'm going to remove the Matt Bachman tape.
Okay.
What's this one over here?
This is Wettman-Chelmets.
Well, Wettman-Chelmets.
Wettman-Chelmets.
Doesn't remember on Strategic Tape Reserve.
Okay.
Is it cheating to look at the credits?
Nah, you can.
I guess that's fine.
Nothing's stopping you now.
I noticed you already took it out before you even asked.
You see how he did that?
I looked at him, too.
We all have.
There is a guitar on this tape,
and I'm really not familiar with this artist.
Wow, whoever picked these tapes did a good job.
It's got a little bit of a minimalist-type vibe on the front.
Yeah.
I think I'm going to pick this tape.
Wetman Chelmets.
That's my guess.
Jamie, what a good tape.
Look at that.
A perfect...
We'll let you play it.
You used your tab.
Okay.
You also did not get it.
Man alive.
Now let me ask you a question because this has not happened yet.
This is the first round where no one got it.
Okay.
Because last time Ian mopped your ass.
What did he do?
He always got them.
Do I say what the tape is and take it out of play, or do I keep it in play?
Do we keep going until we get it?
Oh, that's a good point.
Does it go back now
i'd be okay with that okay and now it's your turn keep in mind this is out yeah that's it this is
out and gave me the whitman gentleman's tape now that makes it a lot easier i feel like doesn't it
go ahead you don't you don't get like so there's four tapes left there's four tapes left
i haven't looked at this one.
You picked up the German Army tape.
This has to be quick.
All right, I'm going to go back and say this is the Sarah Hennings tape.
All right.
It is.
I thought that was going to be an obvious one.
With the name, the guitar, and the name.
You know what I mean? I thought that was almost too obvious that's a beautiful looking uh presentation there yeah it comes in this little wooden box
very nice it has someone else's name on it but i think that's just i didn't mean to play the
netflix sound i i think that's who she wrote the it says written specifically for christian alvear
at his request that's a very bold move
For someone to be like would you mind
Making me this tape
It was released in 2016
Comes in this wooden box
And the tape has a little piece of brown cloth
Inside?
No that's on the outside
I didn't notice all the
Credits on the inside burned into it
It's fucking tight
Is this a self release? Did you say it was on a label? all the credits on the inside burned into it. It's fucking tight.
Is this a self-release?
Did you say it was on a label?
Self-release.
Does he get a tab for that?
Wait, I forgot a rule.
You're only supposed to get a tab if you get it right on your first try.
Neither of you should have had a tab.
Since both of you had one, that's fair.
Close your eyes.
Jamie Orlando.
Ready, cassette, go.
What is it?
Oh, fuck.
I forgot to...
Hold on.
Whatever.
I forgot to look what it was.
Both of you don't look real quick.
I forgot to look at what tape it was.
That's Sarah Henney's tape.
All right.
Got it.
All right, Jamie.
Ooh, listen to that.
It's nice and relaxing, but it's got a wiggle to it.
Yeah, and that's part of the reason why I'm gravitating towards this Jesse DeRosa
release, Jay Soliday.
That's the first time either of you picked up the
Soliday tape. Yeah. This is recorded
on the first, at the first
Church of Synthesis, on the Bukla
200. I think that's just Jesse's house.
Yeah. Is that what he's calling it?
Yeah. I bet that's a fucking tax write-off.
Jesus Christ. Why not?
Is this a Buchla?
This is not baked tape, so this is not quite archaic as the label.
No, I said is this a Buchla?
Yeah, a Buchla, yeah.
I think this could be a Buchla, what I'm hearing right now.
Yeah?
I think I might go with this.
I don't have any tabs, so I don't have any lifelines.
I do like how the covers for these tapes are printed on vellum.
Yeah.
With just one module from the booklet, Jerry.
So you're going to go with this?
Absolutely.
Jamie Orlando, dead wrong.
Did not get it.
Ian Franklin.
Yeah.
A chance to steal.
Well, it just changed up a little bit there.
Yeah, it did.
See, now that doesn't sound like a booklet to me anymore.
So you went too quick.
I just waited.
You fucking dummy.
Ian, a chance to fucking swipe this from him.
I'm going to say that this is the Wettman Chalmets.
Grab that fucking tape, my friend, because you got it.
It is.
Wow.
I feel like the credits on our tape said, like, guitar and...
Well, we literally heard, like, 20 seconds of it, Jamie.
There might be more.
Guitar, voice, programming, synths, field recordings.
A program.
Synths.
All the things.
Synthesizers.
They got them.
The synthesizer. Taking a bubble bath with my synthesizer. Programming synths Field recordings Synths All the things Synthesizers They got them I think that would have been One of my last pick
From this whole table
I'm hungry
I'm hungry
That would have been
Your last pick really
Yeah I think I would have
Even picked German Army
Above that
This stuff on this tape
Right here
It was recorded
Between 1999 and 2003.
Oh.
That was a while ago.
Yeah.
I wonder why it's just coming out now.
What does he have to hide?
Maybe it's just on the tape.
I wonder if fucking Jamie...
Turn this up a little bit.
So what's the score?
I'm starting to feel bad again.
Yeah, what's the score?
Let's mute this and we'll figure out the score.
No, no, not mute this.
Jamie, mute us, you have one point.
Boo-boo!
Ian.
Three. You have three point. Ian. Three.
You have three points.
It's three to one.
As we fade out the Wettman-Chelmets tape.
Oops, and I accidentally pressed play again.
It was already faded out there.
Was it really?
What perfect timing I have.
All right, whose turns are going to be?
Ian's turn, right?
I think it's my turn.
All right.
All right. All right.
All right, I got it.
How many tabs do you have?
You have one tab?
I have one.
One tab.
All right.
I got no tabs.
Yeah, no tabs.
Jamie, don't look over here.
I saw you peeking.
No, I didn't.
I wasn't paying attention.
All right.
Ready.
Give me a different effect this time.
Ooh, Ian, there you go.
Play that rubber band.
Ready. Cassette. Go. time oh there you go play the rubber band ready cassette go turn it up this is a good fucking tape you think those birds are a field recording or do you think those birds were just like
they just fucking googled birds.mp3
i'm gonna say field recorder.
Yeah?
They're pretty crisp birds there.
Those are some crisp...
What do you think that is?
Is it North Jamaican?
Yeah.
Oh.
This is shimmery.
Yeah.
Ian, so, like, you think that they went out...
This is someone who went out, you think, in your mind you're fucked up twisted mind as an outsider right you think this is someone who went out and
recorded some birds right yeah when you look down at these tapes which one of these fucking
outsiders went out recorded birds well i'm gravitating towards two okay i don't want to
say i'm going to use my tab oh oh okay I'm going to use my tab. Oh, okay.
I'm going to use the tab.
You might have to kiss my butt.
If you listened to the first episode,
not only did Ian...
That's how it would be sometimes.
Jamie kissed Ian's butt
and then Ian mobbed his...
Mobbed the floor.
Mobbed the floor.
I don't know.
Really stick your hand in that pot hard
and push hard until you get one.
He's sitting there.
Okay, what do you got?
These are thick.
Put on blindfold and hold the tape's packaging.
Jamie, you here.
That's a good one.
You can't look either, though, but I only have one blindfold.
That is a sleep mask.
Let me know when that sleep mask is secure.
Okay.
Is it secure?
Yeah.
I can't see anything.
Okay.
Hold on.
I want to get a video of this, too.
All right.
Reach out.
Reach out in front of you.
Right there.
Got it?
Yeah.
All right. How long can you hold this for it didn't say you're feeling the j card what do you think it's just we got a download code in there
it feels like a download to describe what you're feeling i gotta say this is the sickest shit i've
ever done i got this on tape I'm taping this right now
I feel like I feel like I'm gonna get rated. I
Feel like they're gonna come in like they're like they did to Cohen and just fucking bang
They're gonna take take every tape in this house. Okay, so it's just
Just the one panel. Oh
Yeah, you're done put it back in there you're done
All right, hand it to me.
Oh, here's the download code.
Fuck.
All right, take off the mask.
Ian Franklin, what tape are we listening to?
All right, I'm going to say the Matt Bachman Walking Preference.
You're going for the Matt Bachman tape, Walking Preference.
Did we ever figure out how to say that label's name?
No.
Ian Franklin, you used a tab and you got it wrong.
Jamie Orlando, what do you say?
What say you?
So let me look at these real quick because Ian...
He's looking for fingerprints.
Oh, my God.
He was giving clues about download codes.
I'm checking for the download code.
All right.
You know what he's doing?
He's feeling them to see which is the warmest.
That's right.
All right.
I'm going to go with Soda Light and Veil Stone.
Were you peeking?
No.
Because that's what it is.
Take that, man.
You got it.
There's some more birds.
They're not recording.
All these birds.
So for the listeners, this is the cassette with the shiny pebble on the front
that is difficult to tell what genre it is by just looking at it.
Which I got to say, though, that pebble belongs perfectly.
Listen to that.
It's like a vitamin B shot.
This is a good tape.
I like this a lot.
Should I sing over this one, too?
A lot of people like when I do that kind of stuff.
Don't.
Don't, Jamie.
Let's let this play for a little bit.
Mute us.
All right. Let's let this play for a little bit. Mute us. Bar. That's nice.
That's super fucking nice.
What's that, a Yamaha?
Jamie, it's your turn.
All right, all right, all right.
Four tapes left.
What's the score now?
Three to two?
Three to two.
Ready? Here we go. Ready. All right ready Cassette, give me some kind of effect, you know what I like
Go!
Huh, interesting
Turn this outsider up
What's going on here? Can't get your synthesizer to work right?
Jamie
You hear this shit, you hear this fucking outsider
What do you think?
What's this pink tape over here? Matt Bachman.
Who's Matt Bachman?
Walking Preference.
Oh, Trumpet by Jesse DeRosa on this album.
Interesting. That's interesting.
Okay.
The second appearance.
By Jesse DeRosa on this batch, right?
Yeah.
Man, this is... I batch, right? Yeah.
Man, this is... I don't have any tabs.
Oh, wait.
I get a tab from the last round, don't I?
Well, you know what?
Yeah, let's just give out the tabs.
Okay.
You want to use the tab?
I kind of want to use...
Oh, shit.
Okay, so I'm using my tab right now.
Yeah, use your tab.
I'm using my lifeline.
I kind of want to go with the Jay Soliday tape,
but maybe I'll see what I can do.
Mike tells me, and only me the
shell color okay they're all they're all different colors so I'll just cover them Ian, can you hear this in the headphones?
No.
All right.
All right.
I think...
Can you hear that?
No.
I think that's the...
It doesn't even matter that...
Oh, wait.
Let me turn Ian's headphones back up.
You good?
I don't know if that helps you at all, but...
You good in the cans?
All right.
Jamie Orlando, what's going on?
I was gravitating towards Jay Soliday, and then Mike Haley told me the shell, and I think
that it's this tape, the Jay Soliday tape.
Okay.
You think because of my clue that that's what it is? Yes. Oh, I'm sorry. I hit the wrong button. It, the Jay Soliday tape. Okay. You think because of my clue that that's what it is?
Yes.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I hit the wrong button.
It is the Jay Soliday tape.
It's high game.
You did get it.
So you were going to pick something else.
No, I was going to go with this.
I was gravitating towards this, but I was like,
I don't want to get this one wrong twice,
because I'm going to start insulting the artist.
These fucking outsiders have no feelings.
Tiger Village came at me last episode.
Fuck him.
He came at me.
Fuck him more than anyone else.
Whatever, man.
Come at me.
Try to come at me.
See what happens, bro.
There'll be two fucking hits.
Your ass wiping on the floor.
And then me in the road.
Because fuck you.
I got better shit to do.
Why don't you really turn those knobs?
Ooh.
I think that's actually
Jesse DeRosa's zipper.
He's just pulling it up and down.
That ain't no Buchla.
He's done a few of these tapes.
Crazy Doberman, I think, did one
of this Buchla series
that he's got over in his church.
Okay.
All right, Ian,
the game is tied up and there's three tapes left.
Yeah.
We're getting down to the end.
Only one of you can be the winner.
Ian Franklin, ready.
Custer...
Go.
What is it, my friend?
Well, you know what the guest just said
tell me what you're thinking
what's in that head of yours
hmm
we got some synthesizers
we got some drum machines
and we got three tapes left
how familiar
are you with the artists that you see
in front of you just Just by hearing their name
I have not heard of two
And I've heard a few things from the third
But that third has a lot of stuff
But the thing about it is this is such an important round
Yeah
Like I can't imagine how you must feel right now
Well it's tough
It's gotta be tough Because this round is so important.
And, like, you really got to want it.
You got to want it more than the other guy.
If you want to take that trophy home, which you can, you will take that home,
and you will display it.
You went for the Ayatollah tape first.
I don't know anything about that project.
No. It's on a label called Nail Bat, though,
and the logo for Nail Bat is a friggin'
baseball bat. It's got nails in it.
Oh, that's rude.
But is it rude enough?
Do you think a label that rude would
put this tape out? Do you think a rude label
would release this, Ian? Or do you think
a nice person would? I think everybody's
nice. You do, yeah. That's one of your flaws. releases and reading some nice person i think it was nice you do
as well as laws
capital
or bubbles of sound there
turns up
just a bit
and then i'm gonna give you about five seconds. I need your gas, buddy.
All right, I guessed this last time,
and I'm going to say that this is the Matt Bachman walking preference.
Matt Bachman walking preference is not what this tape is.
Uh-oh.
Jamie Rolando, forward to the steal.
And keep in mind, if you do not get the steal,
the tape automatically goes to Ian,
which will put Ian in the lead, correct?
The game is currently tied.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which makes this round so important.
It was important to Ian, and now it's important to you, Jamie.
Okay.
Shit.
You know what?
I'm going to...
Holy shit!
I was really leaning towards the Ayatollah tape.
Yeah.
But I've already guessed the Ayatollah tape.
Which you have previously described as Middle Eastern. Middle Eastern. Because I believe you said that's where the Ayatollah tape. Yeah. But I've already guessed the Ayatollah tape. Which you have previously described as Middle Eastern.
Middle Eastern, yeah.
Because I believe you said that's where the Ayatollahs are.
That's where the Ayatollahs are.
But I am going to go with German Army for my pick
because German Army has some different flavors,
and this could be one of them.
Yeah.
This German Army tape came out late 2018.
Okay.
Evil Fruit, number 74.
In addition, 75.
And my friend, that's exactly what we're listening to right now.
Grab that fucking tape.
If I just go against my instincts, I'll get it right.
You too.
Ian.
It hurts.
That one hurts.
I don't know.
I can't help you, you know?
Fade this down a little bit.
This is a good tape.
Aya Toll is coming.
It's ridiculous.
I gotta say, if you pick Aya Toll last,
that is problematic.
Take this tape.
Who got it?
You got it, Jamie.
Damn.
And now is it Jamie's turn?
Yeah.
Actually, you know what?
Ian, let me ask you this.
Being that there's only two tapes left,
would you rather be,
and Jamie's up by one,
would you rather be going first or second now?
Hold on.
That means, how does this work?
Because then whoever goes next
automatically gets the next tape.
We'll figure it out.
We'll figure it out.
We'll figure it out. We figure it out we'll figure it out
we could put the floral plasma unplugged tape in there all right let me throw
this guy in all right Jamie right because I go go I would say if you get this that's the game
right?
because he's already up by one
if he doesn't
I gotta tell you, you know what I'm waiting for?
I'm waiting for a trumpet to come in
because if there's a trumpet
he's gonna wait here all night
how much time does he get though?
it's a good question man
alright is it that or is it this Ayatollah tape
by Filippo Laresca?
Electronics, analog evidence, pathological junk.
Is it trumpet or EVI?
What's Jesse play on this?
It's a trumpet.
It's trumpet.
This sounds like it could be EVI.
Yeah, it does
you know interesting note this Ayatollah tape
yeah what's interesting about it
is this label from Columbia
yes that's awesome
yes
how much was that shipping
because of the tariffs it just went way up
and the Dow is down big time
Jamie don't try to change this
I see you're stalling for trumpet.
This motherfucker is stalling for trumpet.
Matt Bachman, walking preference, final answer.
You got it.
That's what it is.
Jamie, you have gotten it around right,
and you have won.
I get the trophy.
Hold on.
I'd like to get a video of you actually handing it over.
And this is the best thing about this,
is the peaceful transition of power it really
means a lot and ian as you hand it good job jamie i mean you deserved it thank you thank you guys
and you know i gotta say it's almost like i fucking like i wonder how long until the trumpet
this thing's this tape's wob i know you said you got in by now it's it's coming off already i know i know just don't shake it jesus christ what do you plan on doing to it that it's
going to come off and you know what here's what i need jamie when when the next time we play and
you bring that back i need it to look better than that oh so this is like this is like wwf belt
oh yeah yeah yeah okay you have to give it up but i need you to make it better i need you you
mentioned soldering earlier
that could be part of it
I got a heat gun at home
do whatever you gotta do
you know what this worked out really well I think
and here's why
why don't we go out on that Ayatollah tape
Jamie we'll see how Middle Eastern it really is
as you said
because what the Ayatollahs are from there
I don't even have to say ready, cassette, go.
Don't give me anything.
Nail bath tapes.
Yeah, from Columbia.
This is an edition of 25.
Do you have any other tapes from Columbia in your collection that you know of?
Well, I know Nailbats.
There was a whole batch that they sent.
Okay.
And I think they sent stuff before.
Turn this up a little bit.
Now, if I played this earlier, do you think you would have picked this?
No, not at all.
I think I would have picked...
Honestly, I think I would have picked...
If it was the very beginning, I think I would have picked Rambutan for this.
I don't know why. Yeah. Because rambutan has some some crunchier stuff too
yeah that's the luck of the draw though ian i'm sorry that like you never actually had a chance
to have the trophy in your house yeah but maybe there'll be next time a rematch i'm i'm ready
i'm ready for a rematch alright alright on that Jamie again

a hell of a
sometimes I don't know
how you do it
