Foisy? I don't know how to say it.
It's not Foley.
Alex Foley? Axel Foley?
Achmel? Mr. Foley?
Mr. Foley.
Mr. Fozy.
Andre Foisy.
He does the label. Him and this dude
Taron Tannum. One's from Chicago
and one's from Baltimore.
That's weird.
There's a lot of space in between there.
Yeah.
Is that like an art duplication team?
I have no clue.
I have no clue.
Are the tapes pro-dubbed?
Are they?
Let's take a look.
Yeah, that one is.
That one is that one is but um andre foisy also does that project uh locrian
and he sent in a uh this pretty sweet box locrian mammifer bless them that curse you

Real boxes, yeah.
R-E-E-L boxes.
I like those.
Yeah, they're awesome.
It's got like a sweet book inside and stuff.
And Mammoth,
I was looking this up today,

Aaron Turner from ISIS and Hydra Head.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Hydra Head's done.
Did you hear that?
Yeah, yeah.

Like a 15 year run
so yeah can't beat that but you could be you keep going yeah if you keep going well isn't

other things in his life that he does oh like what oh who knows like a noise project with his
wife like a noise project with his wife putting out tapes now good he sold the label good run
well this is the cassette version.
I guess this was on LP and CD beforehand.
So serious formats.
I like the...
I like the...
Like there's a label
on the front and back
of the box
that goes around the spine.
But the label's kind of like
when you get like an old LP.
Yeah.
How it like...
It goes like underneath
on the back
and then the other sticker
like overlaps it.
You want to get your eyeballs on that?
I got my eyeballs on that.
Nice attention to detail on it.
It came out six months ago, I think.
So I don't know if you can still grab it.
What's all the string in here?
It's on the spine of the book.
That's how it's cut together.
Can't tie this in a knot?
You could.
Cut the excess off?
You can cut it off right now.
You want some scissors?
I'll give you a scissor.
It might ruin the resale value.
He also sent in a tape by somebody named Kapustin Yar,
who I looked on the internet for some information.
I didn't really find anything.
But then he also sent in this other tape,
which I'm going to play.
I was listening to it earlier today.
A project called The Subtraction, which I don't really like that name.
No.
But it's Jason Saladay on modular synth and Omar Gonzalez on tape and electronics.
I think they're both from Chicago.
It's like deep, dark, droney kind of stuff.
It's pretty awesome.
The artwork is very similar to that Andre Fawzi tape.
Okay, yeah.
So, you know, like...
What is that, a landscape?
What is that?
A landscape, yeah.
Can't go wrong with a landscape.
No, no, you can.
But he didn't.
You can't.
So, play something off the A-side.

but I'm not sure if I have like solo stuff by him
or if he's been in something like a project.
I'm not sure.

Joe B.,
you're kind of rumbling

Because normally
we go this way.
Oh, shit. Are we going to go the other way
oh shit
no Dave can go next
I might get dizzy and fall over
what's Dave got
you want me to go
you sure
I'll tell you what Dave's got
he's got a mic stand
that has a cup holder
with a Heineken in it
I'd do this compilation
from Dub Ditch Picnic
it's a bunch of New Zealand
weirdos.
Well, that's kind of a...
Kiwis. Yeah, if you're from New Zealand,
you're automatically a weirdo, right?
Who stays in New Zealand? Weirdos from New Zealand.
What's that?
The crass font? Is that their logo?
Usually
that dude, he does Prairie Fire
tapes, too.
Oh, yeah, I have some stuff on Pra of that i feel like a gremlins jills viga split okay let's not get into shit that we can't pronounce right off the bat
but uh he it's weird his catalog numbers all like you know how you do like
this is now whatever you know three letters and then the letters and then the release number.
But he does 1971.019.
Yeah.
I don't know what 1970 means.
Maybe that's when he was born.
Could be.
Could be.
Tired and emotional.
Also, I thought I might have to do something with Dub because Dub was like 70s.
Wait a minute.
This isn't the Newton from Phillyilly is it no i don't that's
there's another newton that's new new town oh shit you're right okay newton and newtown
all right that's enough
i don't think i've heard of any of this stuff no it's all new to me too but uh they're all
relatively short tracks so i wanted to do the first three.
I dig this artwork.
It's like three quarters, like a lake with trees,
and then the top is just like the moon.
Yeah, it's nice.
Like a shot from the moon.
I like the front, like what you would see in the tape,
but I don't necessarily think the collage.
Let me see.
Take it.
I like this part.
I think it lines up pretty good.
But this part with that hard line there,
I don't enjoy as much.
Yeah, I could have blended that a little better.
I understand that the hard line is still here,
but it works better, I think.
On the cover rather than the panel.
On the cover than on the panel where it's...
What else has Dub Ditch Picnic
put out
I've heard that name
a thousand times
but I don't think I
um
a bunch of stuff
that I'm not
familiar with
he's got
there's a band
called Wolf Skull
I think
there's like
an Australian
band
that
he's done like
a lot of like
I thought New Zealanders
and Australians
don't like each other
well
you're thinking of
he's trying to bridge the gap
there's that Summer Heights Eye what was that do You're thinking of Summer Heights High.
What was that?
Do you remember the show Summer Heights High?
That show was hilarious. That you did in a new show.
What's that called? I forget.
I was thinking Flight of the Conchords.
Because you play every fucking character.
The Australian Embassy.
They were the dicks.
I forgot about that.
That was awesome.
Are you going to play the first three tracks? Yeah. Read forgot about that. That was awesome. All right, well, are we going to play
the first three tracks?
Yeah, they are.
Read them out there.
I got it.
Cuts with two Ts.
Erotic pots.
And swung.
How come every artist on here
is all caps except Newtown?
Well, that's his thing.
Yeah.
No, you know what?
It can't be your thing
for this comp, then. Like, you got to go all caps. Maybe you missed that's his thing. Yeah. No, you know what? It can't be your thing for this comp then.
Like, you gotta go all cash. Maybe you missed that one.
That's how it
would suck. I'd throw them all away.
Alright, three cuts
off of the Dub Ditch Picnic
compilation, Tired and
Emotional.

Compilation on Dub Ditch.
Dub Ditch Picnic.
Dub Ditch Picnic.
Dub Ditch Picnic.
Dub Ditch Picnic.
That's a tough one to say. No, thatitch Picnic. That's a tough one to say.
No, that's pretty good.
That's a hard one to say.
It's pretty easy.
I did it fine.
Is that why you said just Dubditch?
Yeah, I can't say the whole thing.
One, two, three.
We'd be here all night.
It was like, just say Picnic.
Just say Picnic.
Pucknic.
Fuck.
All right, B, what do you got?
I'm going to play another mailbag.
Tape from someone named Matthew Akers.
Matthew Akers.
Let's check this out.
Looks pretty nice.
Do any of us know who Matthew Akers is?
I'm not sure who that is.
Is that Ray Akers' brother?
It might be Ray of the Skateboarder.
I don't know.
Mythical Abyss.
I like this cover art.
I like the cover art.
I like the design of the whole thing.
It reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what.
Like another label that's similar.
I hate when they have the template lines going all the way around.
He didn't cut those.
Well, it didn't.
Black lines everywhere.
Yeah, that one doesn't even go all the way around, though.
That's just on the top.
Well, no, because I think the bottom he cut off.
You can see it on the bottom.
Oh, okay.
And you can see it on the right, and you can see it on every single panel.
See if it went all the way around and it was nice and neat.
It feels thick. I can get into it. You cut into it. But like, you See if it went all the way around and it was nice and neat. It feels thick.
I can get into it.
You cut into it.
But like, you know, whatever.
Some people don't know.
Yeah, he made this at home.
Yeah.
It looks good.
It looks really good.
It does look good.
My only complaint is the tape itself.
Let's hear your only complaint.
Which, I like the tape.
I don't know what style this is.
Do you know, David?
No, it's just a unique shell.
It's a unique New York.
But the Sharpie on it.
He just wrote A and B in a silver Sharpie.
I know, Dave, you said you like that.
I don't always like it.
For this.
But I think, you know, nice steady hand.
What do you think, Ellie?
Nice steady hand.
I mean, he wrote it nicely.
It's nice silver on black.
I don't think it's that nice.
I would say, like, if you're going to get those nice cassettes with those nice, like... And the cover's nice silver on black i don't think it's that nice i would say like i've seen better if you're going to get those nice cassettes with those nice like and the cover's nice yeah
like get a sticker that says a and b yeah you know it's not horrible but but i also like like
because the window is like look at the window on the tape it's like shorter and wide oh i like the
tape no i think that's what i'm saying i think the shell is awesome that's what i think you should
have done like don't do anything because the screws on the A side, right?
No, there's no screws.
Oh, there's no screws?
You know what I would have liked, actually,
if he hand wrote his name.
You see this little indented bar on the bottom?
If he, like, hand wrote his name
on the one side of the little dimple
and then the name of the tape on the other.
Yeah, or put a nice little label on there.
Or a little label, that would be nice.
You know what I'm noticing about this tape
while your giant hands are holding it?
It looks really tiny.
I think it's funny.
Is this a micro cassette?
We've never mentioned this before.
He popped the tabs out.
I don't think we've ever mentioned
if the tabs were out or in the tape yet.
Oh, you know what?
You're right.
Episode 14 of a show called Tabs Out
and we've never mentioned the tabs.
This first note is...
I'm going to ruffle some feathers.
I like my tabs in when I get a tape.
What if I want to tape over it?
If I like it that much, I'll pop the tabs out.
I also like he sent us a...
I'm a man.
This is America.
He sent us the MP3s on a disc.
Oh, that's nice of him.
With some other stuff to check out.
With the artwork.
It's on there, too.
You get Mythical Abyss and other stuff.
So thanks, Matthew Akers.
Let's check out your tapes.
Let's call him Matt. Let's call him Matt.
Let's call him Matt.
See, I like the tabs out because my fingers are so big
that I'll accidentally hit the record button
when I try to hit the play.
He just mashes all the buttons and hopes that it plays.
He's just a room full of broken tape deck.
And if I want to tape over it,
I'll just cram some newspaper down the holes and tape over it.
Yeah, old school.
Yeah.
I just like my tabs in.
Your mom likes her tabs in.
Matthew Akers
Mythical Abyss Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What?
That was Matthew Akers.
Mythical Abyss.
Not what I was expecting, but I enjoyed it.
Rolling Night Tide.
Yeah, it was really good.
That's not what I expected.
From the artwork,
synthy,
hard arpeggios.
That's what I was expecting.
That's what I was expecting too.
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
Yeah.
Motoric.
Motoric.
Definitely very motoric.
Yeah, I enjoyed that.
Am I up?
You're up.
Let's do this thing.
Nice job, Matthew.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm definitely gonna... Four regular thumbs up and two You're up. Let's do this thing. Nice job, Matthew. Yeah. I mean, I'm definitely going to.
Four regular thumbs up and two crooked thumbs up.
Are you considering your thumbs to be regular?
Two really big ones.
Two regular size normal ones.
And two ones that are.
Two like donkey hooves.
Two special ones.
Those are dappin'.
Why are you not ready?
Why aren't they in front of you?
Jesus Christ.
I had the tape.
Which one?
I'll just play the Derek Rogers tape
because it's right here.
And I'll go find the other tape
that I want to play later.
I like the artwork for that.
Yeah, I just pulled this off my shelf.
I didn't...
I don't know if I ever listened to it before.
I think it came out in like 2009.
I did not write that down.
Let's get all the info right now.
It's a Derek Rogers, Hashim Ashudula collaboration,
tape loop sax hiss.
I guess it's like saxophone manipulations and stuff like that.
I played saxophone in the sixth grade.
Did you really?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
It didn't last that long.
I played trombone.
You did?
Yeah.
That was terrible.
What's ECR?
Mike played the skin flute.
I don't know what ECR is.
I guess that's the label, but I'm not really sure what it is.
I'll get all this information while it's playing.
But yeah, I also like the artwork, and it goes really well with the artwork continues
onto the label of the tape.
Yeah, that's really nice.
That's attention to detail.
Yeah, it's nice.
I'm not sure who the other dude is.
We'll look all this up.
What side is usually the A side on a tape?
The screws?
Yeah, with the screw.
You would think you'd put the sticker on the screw.
Yeah, the screw side has...
Well, the one side...
You know, I also want to say about these labels,
these aren't like...
Okay, I got a couple things I need to say.
On further inspection, I got a few things I want to say.
So these labels aren't like, you know, you can buy the labels and like eight up on the
sheet or whatever they are and print them.
That's not what these are.
These are like cut out by hand.
Like this is a piece of paper that's like cut out by hand.
Let me see this thing.
Are you sure?
And it looks like that those labels are covering other labels.
Oh, it is.
Oh, recycled.
Definitely another label underneath of this.
Yeah.
I wonder what was
originally on this tape.
And the side with like,
the artwork is like this like,
Joe, what would you call that?
Like kaleidoscope,
not kaleidoscope,
but like.
It's a collage,
but in a circular,
geometric.
And that image continues
onto the label on the tape.
But on the B side,
and then the A side
just has a blank white label.
Which I think is kind of odd. Interesting. It's a mystery. But the, you know what but on the B side, and then the A side just has a blank white label. I think it's kind of odd.
It's a mystery.
You know what? But the unscrew side is
the rewound side, and I don't think I've ever listened to it.
Alright, well let's play a little bit
of this. Derek Rogers.
And the other guy's name I forget.
Look him up right now. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Trace Crutchfield.
Has he ever done anything else?
Who's Trace Crutchfield has he ever done anything else who was Trace Crutchfield
remember that
that Vice thing
that was
Chopped and Screwed
like the Chopped and Screwed
documentary
the dude he's in the suit
oh yeah yeah yeah
that was great
he's like drinking
the purple drink
with him and stuff
yeah that was good
alright
alright
Derek Rogers
and Hashim Asadullahi
tape loop
sax hiss
little bit off of that C60 on Derek Rogers and Hashim Asadullahi. Tape loop, sax, hiss.
A little bit off of that C60.
On existential cloth recordings.
That's what the ECR stood for.
Came out in 2009.
Pretty good.
Dreamy.
I had another question I wanted to ask. I felt like I was in an opium den.
This isn't an opium den?
No.
We don't have the...
Well, that bed is pretty close.
You need the little table and all the little tools.
That's been my bed since I was like
three.
That came from a bunk bed set.
Same sheets? Probably.
Well, the pillowcase, I mean,
the Huckleberry Hound pillowcase that's on
is definitely at least
25 years old. I still have the same pillows I've had since
I was a little kid.
Stacey hates them because they're disgusting.
I brought that pillow in there.
They're all greasy.
I brought the pillow in there.
Not this year, but the year me and you went to Voice of the Valley two years ago.
It was seriously the kind of pillow where you had to roll it up in a little tube to get any padding.
By the time you rolled it up, it was completely useless. The inside of my pillows are pretty much felt at this point because the sweat and the fabric
and the heat have mixed them together.
I bet you if you went to the pillow...
Emporium?
No.
Museum?
Like a guide on how long a pillow should last.
It'd be like one to three years or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Not 30.
Not your entire adult life.
Like a blue stripe in the middle, like a toothbrush. When it fades out. You just told me that. Not 30. Not your entire adult life. Do they have like a blue stripe
in the middle like a toothbrush
when it fades out?
You just told me that.
I didn't know that was a thing.
Yeah.
Because I don't think
the toothbrush I currently have
has a blue stripe down the middle.
They don't all have them.
Yeah.
I don't understand
the constant innovations
in toothbrush technology.
No, we've talked about
that before.
There's constantly a new thing.
There's always coming up
a new shit.
I realize that.
Whether it be that little zigzag
at the head that goes to the shaft.
That really got you going, huh?
All right.
You want to play a tape, Dave?
Yeah, Dave.
Go ahead.
All right.
We'll do a tape.
How about this KPLR tape on Avent Archive?
Archive?
Archive? Did I say Archive? You said Archive. Archive. I think I have a tape by KPLR tape on Archive. Archive? Did I say Archive? You said Archive.
I think I have a tape by KPLR.
Who is that?
What's his name?
Dexter Billingham?
I think. And one other dude.
You just definitely made that up.
No, it's in there. Look at it.
Cornelius Funkitude.
Is this the dude who does
Road Cop? Is this his label?
Or did he just have a tape on Avanarch?
No, he had a recent tape
that came out on that.
Do you even know what side you put that on?
Or did you just put it in the tape player?
The Rebound side.
Booyah.
Suck on that.
I like these Aon Archive tapes
they're all like
well I've only seen
like three of them
but like the black
and white with all
like the panels
yeah it looks really nice
there's like three
different panels
on the inside
yeah I think Dave
brought this last time
and I was looking at it
but he didn't play it
I do like it as well
yeah
what's his name
Dexter what?
Dexter Brittman
Dexter Brightman.
And how would you pronounce J-A-I-R?
Yer?
Yer.
Yer Espinosa.
Espinosa.
Espinosa.
Yer Espinosa.
And I like the, I guess recently they changed their aesthetic with their, well, I don't know how recently, because that's an older tape, but that Rokop tape has a different shell printing aesthetic,
because all the old ones,
if you pull that out and look at it real quick,
it's got that neighborhood liquor store sign
on Union Street thing,
where the font wraps around the edge of the tape.
Let me see.
Wait, what are you talking about?
Yeah, that side.
Oh.
That's pretty bad.
I do like the
maroon on gray
here, but that is pretty funny how
the font goes all the way across the bottom
and then starts wrapping up around the side.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
I'm trying to look up KPLR here just because I know
I have something
by this
crew.
I may have that tape on Draft.
They put a lot of shit out.
They have a tape on Digitalis,
Prairie Fire,
another tape on Digitalis, Neon Blossom,
Sound Holes.
They have a lot of shit out.
Maybe I have a few things I don't really know
This will be a treat
It will be a treat
Alright
We just
What do you have
Is this on the A side?
What is that?
I think it might be the B side
Alright
KPLR

That was awesome.
Yeah, it was really good.
Good stuff.
I like little burbling crudes like that.
Burbling crudes?
The line sounds.
Yeah, it was awesome.
I got to find that KPLR stuff I have.
Make sure your hands feel like blibs.
Yeah, it does.
That's exactly what I was going to say, Dave.
Exactly how I was going to describe that.
Blibs.
Whose turn is it?
Which way do we go?
I'm trying to decide what I want to play.
Well, you already played that one, so don't pick that up.
No, not this one.
Do I want to play...
I'm interested to hear this Quintron tape.
Wait, I have a question.
Dave, did you bring up ears?
Yeah, they're right here.
Why do you have it?
Why don't you just put it here?
I guess I'll just will this cap off with my mind.
Right here.
I can't do the lighter thing, so you're going to do that for me.
And what's with that little stubby lighter you have?
It was like 49 cents at the stop and go.
You want this one?
I got it.
No.
You sure?
Yeah.
Didn't you get it for yourself?
I mean, there was only two down there, so I just brought two.
Yeah, yeah. I don't want to drink more beer.
I want to play this Quintron tape on Witchbeam's new label, which is called...
Spirit Candle Tapes.
Spirit Candle, huh?
Do you know about this tape? Like, what the deal is?
I mean, I've read the little description on his website and then in the thing.
Do you know about it, Dave? No. It's not like what the deal is? I mean, I've read the little description on his website and then in the thing. Do you know about it, Dave?
No.
It's not like an imprint
or anything.
But I'm interested to hear
what it sounds like.
It's some sort of device.
You can probably
explain it better than I can.
Oh,
from what I read,
it's some sort of
harmonic drone device
tuned to a certain thing.
This guy has a house.
I think he's in New Orleans.
Yeah,
I think so as well.
And there's like, it's like, yeah i think so as well and there's like
it's like oh is that the one where it's like he's got like electronics i couldn't say it
he's got like electronics rigged up to the house that like respond to the weather response like
the way the wind's blowing or like rainfall maybe sunlight sunny yeah maybe there's lightning
yeah stormy out yeah like depending and i I think you can have it installed into your house
so it's constantly going.
And this is, I guess, the first recording that he's done, maybe,
that it's been released.
It's the most intense idea.
Maybe if we plug it, he'll come and do it to our house.
Probably for free, yeah.
Get that done.
I just want one room.
Yeah, I'm interested to hear, after reading the description, what this sounds like.
Yeah.
It's a long description.
I'll just listen to it.
Let's give it a go.
I was told there'd be no test.
All right.
Well, hmm.
What's your problem?
No, we're playing side A.
I haven't listened to this tape yet, so I just decided.
What do you want?
I was grabbing for the...
I was reading that. No, that's not what I wanted. I want the cassette yet, so I just decided. What do you want? I was grabbing for the... I was reading that.
No, that's not what I wanted.
I wanted the cassette.
Oh.
There we go.
The first track is called Theme Song Version 1,
and then the next track is Gentle Breeze, Raindrops, Sunset, Moon, Lightning,
Concert in the Sky.
But we'll just play the first.
We'll just play in Zyago's.
Quintron, Singing House Demoo Volume 1 on Spirit Candle. And we're back because that tape was blank.
Yeah, that was a quick one.
That was a quick one.
Witch Beam, what are you doing peddling blank wares on us?
Unless that's how it goes.
We fast-forwarded for a while.
You know when he went to dub it, he had the candles lit.
He had the incense burning.
It was probably just a clear day.
It was a clear, sunny day at the instrument house.
And he popped the tabs out.
Popped the tabs out.
Jesus Christ, Beam.
On a tape that has nothing on it.
A little bummed.
I was all excited.
Okay, we'll get to the bottom of this one.
All right.
I got 14 episodes in
First playing tape
Yeah, that's pretty good actually
So let's play
That's my pick
Moving on, I'm going to be playing a little bit from
Johnny Winters' new hit
Stuff from this afterlife
Dry Valley split, the afterlife side
We don't have to play the whole side
Some of it at least.
I know we played
Afterlife before.
Is this the
Sacred Phrases?
Yeah.
But we should do
some catch up
on this label
because we haven't
played anything.
Yeah, that's true.
Alright.
I like the little card
on the end.
So let's talk about it
a little bit because
I'm just excited to see
if it's blank or not.
Yeah, I know.
Two in a row.
Let's take bets.
No, it's not going to be blank.
Wow, blank tape. I haven't had that happen in a bets. No, it's not going to be blank. Wow, blank tape.
I haven't had that happen in a while.
And wait, let me ask you a question.
The Quintron tape, is that spirit candle number one?
Yeah.
Wow.
Great start.
Oh, man.
No, we'll get to the bottom of this.
That's the worst, man.
I hate when I buy a tape and it's blank.
I got a tape recently.
I'm not going to talk about who it was.
Actually, I can't even remember who it was.
But I bought it and I asked the dude
if he could just send me an MP3 and I'd dub it myself.
He's like, yeah.
Did he do it?
No, he never did it.
I know who you're talking about.
Well, anyway, Afterlife. Sacred Phrases.
Dry Valley Split.
Here it is. Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. so Thank you. so so so The so Thank you. so
so so
so The so All right, that was some stuff off the Afterlife split
with Dry Valleys on Sacred Phrases.
You can still get that, I think.
That's new, right?
I don't think it's new, but you might still be able to get it.
Yeah, you might be able to get it.
Dry Valleys, that's the dude that actually does the label, too.
That does what?
That does the
Sacred Phrases label.
Oh, really?
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Nice.
But while that was playing,
I went into your distro,
Mike,
and found another
Quintron tape.
You had two.
So let's give this a go
and see if this one
has anything on it.
And we'll just play
a little bit of it
so I don't get,
you know,
two in a row.
Well, I'm still getting
two in a row.
The night is young, my friend. No matter how long we play this, you're still getting two in a row. Well, I'm still getting two in a row. The night is young, my friend.
No matter how long we play this, you're still getting two in a row.
Yes!
So here is a second chance.
They say you don't get second chances,
but Witch Beam, if you're listening,
you got it.
You got it.
You got the touch.
You got the touch.
They cussed in that movie.
Oh, is that the Transformers one?
Someone died too, right?
Didn't Optimus Prime die?
I think there's boobs in it.
Let's play a little bit of this tape.
Welcome to the Singing House demonstration album
and the world of weather-controlled sound synthesis.
The Singing House is an analog drone synthesizer
tuned to the chord of E major.
This device can easily be installed into any home
or public building to provide pleasing background tones which are truly in tune with nature.
Wind, sun, rain, moonlight, and lightning all have an effect on the ever-present chord.
Like a fire or a babbling brook, the singing house is always changing, yet always the same.
The following is a recording of a gentle breeze on a sunny day. The root E and third
remain constant while the fifth and the octave are run through two envelope filters, both
controlled by wind speed and the brightness of the sun. Thank you. Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Thank you. All right.
Well, that one worked.
It sure did.
Yeah, it was good.
Yeah, that was awesome.
That was actually, yeah.
I liked the little intro thing in the beginning
that explained exactly what it is.
If the blank one had the tabs in it,
we could just real quick go and dub it right now.
But now I've got to put tape over top of that.
That's not gonna happen.
Wait, I thought you said you like tabs out.
No, I like tabs in.
He likes to... He's going against the grain.
God. I don't want to listen to you.
Alright.
You're the only one who does.
Alright.
Do we all get two in a row now, Joe?
I just got a bunch of tapes today
in the mail from a label called K-Sara
that's probably how you say it right?
C-A-E
slash S-U-R slash K-Sara
I want to talk about this one
Dave do you still have it that I handed to you?
I don't know if you did or not
I don't know what it sounds like yet.
But the artist's name is Black Chalk
and it's just a white cover
with the words Black Chalk and I'm pretty sure
the font that they used is a font called
Black Chalk and it's the same one as mine too.
It may be a really good tape.
I don't know. I haven't listened to it yet but
it's so bad.
It's a pretty bad font.
I've been getting more into this label lately. I just it was pretty bad. But I've been getting more, like
I've been getting into this label lately. I just found out about
them. And this one
tape I'm going to play is Eric
Hardiman's project
Rumbleton.
Rumbleton. We were discussing online
today of how to say that.
Rumbleton. We talked about that a couple
episodes back, I think. We did.
But it's a tape called Typhoon Shapes
I feel like it just came out
But
Play a little bit off this
Rumbleton
Typhoon Shapes on K-Sara © BF-WATCH TV 2021 The End Thank you. so

Typhoon colon shapes?
Yeah, I wanted to see the way it was put there.
It's called Typhoon Shapes.

Before we do this,
you want to talk about some new releases?
Oh, yeah.
We should do that
and we should talk
about the theme, too.
Okay.
Well, we'll talk about
the new releases
and then we'll maybe
play your tape.
Dave, you got a new tape out.
Yeah, coming out.
On what?
Fabrica.
Just put out three tapes.
Lazarite, self-titled C-36.
Hoko Boon.
The Still Life of Reverie, C-32.
And a Sound Out Light Bloom C-30.
Yup.
Yup.
Midori.
He's a cool dude.
That guy.
He's a pretty cool dude.
Joao. He lets you pick
all the artwork. He puts you completely in charge
of the artwork. You can even pick your shell color
for the tape. Everything. That's nice.
He's a nice guy. Nice dude to work with.
Midori just put out two tapes.
Fletcher Pratt and
Natamari.
FNS.
Which I believe is from Japan.
For noise sake I think is the name of the label.
Just put out a Schallekens C60
and a Jeff Sherman C30.
They're called Concrete Tapes No. 1 and No. 2.
I think it's like a series that they're doing.
Nostelevo, Nostelevo, not sure how to pronounce it,
which is like the post-Nurse Etiquette label,
just put out six new tapes.
York Factory Complaint, who we were just talking about, Joe.
Saibon, Liable, Dream Affair, Sleighmaker, Welding, and Creo.
K-Sara, who we just played the Rambutan tape.
That turd tape just dropped?
Yeah, something called turd.
T-U-U-R-D.
So if you want to pick up the
turd C20, that's
out now.
What is it like when you're just sitting there and you're like,
let's assume this is a solo project.
It has two U's.
And you got one person,
you got the dude sitting there and he's recording stuff.
And he's like, you know what, I'm going to call this. And he's like one person, you got like the dude sitting there and he's like recording stuff. And he's like, you know what I'm going to call this?
And he's like with somebody like,
what do you think about calling it your project?
Think about calling it turd.
Two U's.
And they're like, oh man, definitely do that.
Yeah, I'm going to call it turd.
That's sick.
Drowning in the Virgin, Silent, C20, Loud and Sad, C32.
Is that a John Pyle project?
Yeah, that sounds like a John Pyle project.
I think we make a joke about John Pyle every time.
John Pyle is like what is on Stella when they're like,
call the Stella skits when they're like,
there's always the guy.
The only one I remember is the Santa Claus one.
Whenever there's a problem, they're like,
call, is it like Carlos or something like that?
And they're like, who's Carlos?
What is the name?
I don't remember.
I can't remember.
I don't know, but whatever that is,
that's our jump on.
We make a joke about him every time.
And a Berger Iverson C43.
Rude.
Tranquility just dropped a batch, right?
I think we talked about that last time.
Did we?
I got those in the mail today.
Audrey's Brandle tape, Grant Evans tape.
Oh yeah, we did because I was saying it's been a long time since I saw it.
I just droned out to that Grant Evans tape today. That was a mind melter. tape. Oh yeah, we did because I was saying it's been a long time since I saw it. I
droned out to that Grand Ammon's tape today.
That was a mind melter.
Was that good? Yeah, that's real good. What's that like?
It was like, you know, just
like deep, long,
subtle,
raw, real
simple. It was...
I'm not sure if I got through the whole thing. I can't remember. I was doing
stuff around the house, but it was dense.
Oh, and I also got in the mail
the day after we did the podcast last week,
and I talked about that comp
that was coming out on Animal Disguises.
Oh, yeah.
I already looked at that
when we first got here.
It's on the floor, I think.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
I might play something from that a little bit later.
Yeah, that's really good.
Nice.
Yeah, I can't think of anything new that came out besides that
but
yeah if you go to
there's a form up now on
tabzal.com that you can fill out
simply and send it on over
if you want to throw it on the site
if you want us to announce your new releases

You want to
Go into your tape
We'll do the theme thing after that
Yeah we can do that
We can do that
That's what we're doing
Thinking about doing this older Arabian Blade tape
That I dug out
Comes in one of those sandwich baggy sort of...
I hate those baggies.
I hate the baggies.
Well, that's what I was going to talk about, actually,
because I normally hate them too,
but once you get a whole lot of them
and you dig through them in a box,
it's actually kind of nice.
I have all mine in a shoe box,
and I do like every once in a while.
Because I forget about them too.
I forget about all the tapes and baggies,
and then you go through one day.
Baggies or cardboard with a rubber band around it.
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Or those like,
like when people put tapes
in the,
like the plastic sleeves
that are like made for CDs.
Oh,
yeah,
yeah.
They put the tape
under the cover.
I have all those
like in a box
and like,
yeah,
I do forget about them
and then go through
and find some,
some gems sometime.
Yeah.
Yeah,
this came out.
Is this self-released?
It's like,
kind of like a cutout bin. You dig through and you find something good every once in a while, you know? Yeah. Yeah, this came out... Is this self-released? It's kind of like a cutout bin.
You dig through and you find something good every once in a while, you know?
I think this may be self-released, yeah.
Let me take her out of the bag.
Yeah, this is all live recordings, I think.
You know what I hate about the ones with the baggie?
When the paper's the same size as the baggie.
Oh, and it's so tight in there?
It's impossible to get out.
Yeah, I hate that shit.
This looks like two live tracks recorded at Death by Audio
in Brooklyn, New York.
Two live tracks.
And Red Squirrel Records
in Wallingford, Connecticut.
2008.
Which seems like so long ago now,
but I guess it's not.
And then the other one.
There's three of them.
Oh, I'm sorry.
So that'd be his two tracks, yeah.
This is Kristen Offrio,
who does Reviver.
And Donovan. Donovan, who does... P and Donna Donovan who does what's it you know a fuzzy no who does the project Roman wolf and is in some
hardcore band yeah I think it's like hate your guts or say your god yeah all
right was that a bridge on the cover or Arabian Blade. I don't know.
Joe's begging that.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Just play it.
All right, well, let's get into this.
Arabian Blade, Fleshed.
And here's a side A, a little bit from a live set on 90608, Brooklyn, New York. Thank you. so Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. so Thank you. Thank you. Arabian Blade.
Live track.
Self-released.
Self-released. Self-released.
I think I got this back when they played at the Spot in Delaware.
That was a good one.
The show with Danny Moore and somebody else.
Oh, you played that.
That's right.
Yes, indeed.
Fleshed, it is called.
I loved it because Chris had that MIDI guitar. Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It was so awesome.
He hooked up with the dofer. It was so awesome. He hooked up with the dofer.
It was so sick.
Yeah, it was pretty fucking sick.
I had that look on his face.
That look of disgust, disdain.
It was so awesome.
I hate what this is doing right now.
It was awesome.
I wonder if he still uses that.
I think every time I see Chris play, he has a different setup.
Well, he has the setup, the Reviver setup, which is like...
The EQs.
EQs and stuff, yeah.
But I feel like there's a...
Like he had the dofer rack and then he had the MIDI guitar thing.
I feel like I've seen him with some other stuff.
I don't know.
I don't know.
All I know is if I got a dofer, that's all I would ever play.
I wouldn't ever do an EQ set again.
I have a dofer now.
If you're going on a camping trip for three days.
Yeah, yeah.
No, no.
You're right.
Because you add the EQs, that voice of the valley.
Yeah, you're not bringing the...
Which he still slayed.
I mean, it still was awesome.
Yeah, it was awesome.
It was definitely good.
Joe B., you want to go up?
Yeah.
I'll play...
What do you got?
This uneven universe tape on Catholic Tapes.
Big fan of uneven universe.
That's how it all starts.
That's how what all starts?
The universe.
Has to be a little bit uneven.
A little bit uneven.
I was told there wouldn't be a test.
Duo from Michigan.
I don't think they're around anymore.
Yeah, I'm not sure.
This is an older tape.
This is Catholic Taste 13.
I don't know these groups.
Dan and Holly.
Holly was putting out some tapes not long ago
called Tapes by Holly.
I have a Hellfire Holly tape.
And Dan used to do Excitebike,
and then he started doing Moon Mist,
which I learned was a flavor of Faygo.
Of Faygo, right.
I was watching Workaholics.
And he's from Detroit,
so that makes it funny.
But yeah, I haven't seen...
I don't even know if New Verse put out a bunch of stuff.
Yeah, they had a bunch of stuff.
American Tapes put out some stuff, right?
I played a really bleak gig with them in like Ann Arbor
when it was like just,
it was on a tour of the Pink Desert
and it was like just us and them
and like two other people
and like the two dudes who did the show.
And it was in some like middle,
like it was like this weird like storage place behind a bar somewhere that like no one knew about.
Right.
I remember you told me that.
Because then the guy who did the show left.
Yeah.
Then the dude who did the show, as we were packing up, was like, all right, see you guys later.
And just left.
Yeah, he bailed.
And then like Dan was like, you know, you can come.
He was living like maybe an hour away.
He was like, you can come crash with us.
And I was like, well, good thing.
We didn't get left in this alley
with like nowhere to go.
But yeah,
that show was definitely a bummer.
Where's the,
I want to see this tape.
You said it was on Catholic?
Yeah.
Did you,
is this yours
or did you just grab this off the shelf?
No, it's mine.
Oh, nice.
I like,
I like looking at the Catholic tapes.
They always look pretty. They always look pretty.
They always look pretty on the shelf.
All right, well, let's play a little bit off this
Uneven Universe tape on Catholic tapes,
which is called The Rattling Caverns.
R.L. Stine presents.
Uneven Universe.
Dirt sperms. presents uneven universe girth berms Thank you. The End Thank you. The End Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 THE END THE END © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. The End © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 All right, that was a little bit of
Uneven Universe tape on Catholic Tapes.
What was it called again?
Something sick.
What was the cover?
It was like a
Are You Afraid of the Dark episode.
Where'd it go?
Yeah, you're holding it. It's like a Goosebumps title or the Dark episode. Where'd it go? Yeah, it was...
You're holding it.
It's like a Goosebumps title or something.
I literally have that in my hand.
Got it.
Something about ravens or something.
Ravenous Caverns.
The Witch's Claw.
The Rattling Caverns.
That's what it was.
It's pretty good.
All right.
Pretty.
Theme night.
Not yet.
Don't talk about it?
Well, it's not theme night.
No, it's not theme night, but I'm bringing up the idea.
What's theme night?
Funny you should ask that question and not just shoot it down like someone who obviously doesn't want you to succeed in life.
All right.
Next episode.
We did the theme last time.
My other band plays real music.
I had a good time.
That was a good one.
I like that one.
That was a good one.
All right. I had some people send in some themes. Are we. I like that one. That was a good one. All right.
So we had some people
send in some themes.
Are we going to pick
the theme right now?
Let's pick the theme right now.
Oh, okay.
Well, you know what we'll do?
We'll say all of them
and then I'll go into this tape
and then we'll come back
with the big reveal.
Move that bus.
You guys don't want to
discuss it on the air?
Okay, we can do that too.
Last time we didn't have
very many good themes.
No.
Or any good ones at all. Nothing. Nothing. That was worth it. Only a couple. Some have very many good themes. No. Or any good ones at all.
Nothing.
Nothing.
That was worth it.
Only a couple.
Some were very abstract.
Nicholas Davis.
You know who you are.
Yeah, you know who I am.
Nicholas Davis.
David.
Nicholas David.
I got Davis here.
Nicholas David said pizza, which I like pizza.
Which we were talking on the phone at first.
I was like, that's kind of dumb.
But then you were breaking it down to me, and actually...
You can get creative with that.
Yeah, you can get creative with that one.
Actually, you can have pizza night, and a lot of stuff on pizza night.
Yeah.
Different toppings that you would put.
Yeah.
So then I'm like, okay, that one is actually good.
Jason Zay said tape music, which I think is pretty good.
I don't know if we would have enough to...
Yeah, I don't know how much specifically.
What's that guy's name?
Jason Lescalete?
Does he do tape music?
I thought he did tape music.
Maybe he does.
Or Howard Stelzer.
Or Dillaway does a lot of stuff.
Yeah, Dillaway.
You play that Everyday Loneliness tape.
Yeah, Everyday Loneliness tape.
Does Formalog do it?
Oh, Formalog.
Maybe we could have enough. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there's some stuff like that.
Maybe we could have enough, yeah.
Travis Culp said Television, which I think would be pretty good.
Yeah, that's another.
I'd like it if I had a tape by Television, the band.
To start it off with.
That would be good, yeah.
To start it off.
But there's different shows you could do.
Yeah.
I can't think of any that top my head.
That was that.
We could put some tracks off the sitcom.
Yeah, the sitcom on New Horseshit.
What was that one tape that was like,
what was it, Cosby?
What was it?
It was like Bill Cosby.
It was like a play on.
Cosby, Stills, Nash, Nash, Nash & Young?
Yeah.
I think it was CD-R.
Oh, was it?
Ah, bummer.
Kristen Offrio said pre-2000,
which I think... Which would-2000, which I think...
Which would be awesome, but I think we would have to take some more time for that one and
build up a collection of tapes that were pre-2000.
Yeah, we are going to need some donations.
Yeah, we're going to need some donations for that one.
Andrew Quitter said winter or covers.
And I don't know if he means cover songs or you need covers like blankets because it's
cold out.
I think he means cover songs.
Well, you could do it either way though.
You could do winter
and then say I'm going to play a cover song
because in the winter you need covers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So that'd be a good one.
This is my favorite so far.
Brandon Greter said The Body.
That's my favorite.
Which I think is a good one.
Again, I would like a tape from the band The Body.
But that one I think would be the easiest. That one from the band The Body. But that one,
I think,
would be the easiest.
That one's the easiest,
yeah.
And I think you would
still have enough room
that,
like,
you'd have enough
to go on,
enough material
that you could get,
like,
kind of creative with it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah,
you definitely get,
there's enough that you,
there's enough,
like,
really easy choices,
but it's ambiguous enough
so you can pick,
like,
some.
Yeah,
that's probably,
that's probably one of my favorites.
Andrew Kirshner said Andrew kirshner uh he's obviously a self-important asshole but you know what you know what's funny about that andrew kirshner one is i think that
i could pull that off because like i have like i have andrew kirshner solo tapes uh i have
relentless corpse tapes i have the travelss tapes. He does a duo with
Wyatt Halland. I have some of that stuff.
I think we could pull that off.
It's not happening, Andrew.
Nice try.
Kevin McSloy said
Women in Noise. That would be a good one.
That would be a pretty good one, too.
A lot of stuff, though, I don't know if it is...
Let me ask you this.
If we did that, could you do a duo that was a man and a woman?
I think so.
You could.
That'd be a good one.
That would be a good theme, actually.
Men and women.
Men and women duos.
Why didn't anyone come up with that?
Matthew Himes sent in a bunch of them.
I really liked his.
He had a lot of good ones.
He had dominant color of album art.
So you would do tapes that are all orange or all green or something like that.
I like that.
He also said tapes exclusively without spines or spine text.
All of a sudden.
Yeah.
I think that would be good, though, because that would make me at least pick a lot of shit that
I don't know what it is.
You would pick it over usually because it doesn't have something on the spine.
That might be
Stan's only flaw, I think.
That there's no text on the spine.
You really gotta dig in there to find out what it is.
Album titles starting with the letter S.
It's a good one, but
not that fun, I don't think. No. letter S. That's a, it's a good one, but like,
not that fun,
I don't think. No.
No.
And then,
tapes exclusive without scents,
which,
do they make those anymore?
I don't think you could do it.
I don't think they make those anymore,
right?
I don't think it's possible.
You did everything you could
with a conflict mic at this point.
Yeah.
All right,
so I would say right now,
if I'm voting,
which I am, being um the captain
of tabs out i get to make my i get to make the final i mean my voters were three points and your
votes resource one so it kind of doesn't matter what you say well i would go with brennan gretter
the body the body that's my favorite. With a close second for pizza.
But I'm going to say The Body.
Joe B., oh, Dave, when you do this, when you edit this,
I'm going to ask Joe what he wants,
and then you have a little drum roll beforehand.
Joe, give it a second to ask you.
Joe B., what is your choice?
I'm going to go with the body as well that's two votes for the body Dave not that it matters
we already pretty much decided but Dave
what do you want the body okay
it didn't really matter
no matter what you said we're going with the body
alright so Brandon Gretter the body
we're picking your theme
you win and you know what All right, so Brandon Gretter, the body. We're picking your theme. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
You win.
And you know what?
All inclusive.
Send me your mailing address,
and I'm going to send you a Tabs Out prize.
Ooh.
I don't know what it is.
I'll pick some tape around this room.
Got some bottle caps in here or something.
Got some empty beer cans.
Might need to throw up half of a credit card over there.
Yeah, I got something over here.
I got some pins.
I got some tapes.
There's some shitty tape
that someone sent us in the mail that we're not playing because
it looks horrible.
Send me that out. I got you a bunch of stuff.
Save them for another theme night.
Alright, so episode 15.
The body.
Let's get back into my selection
here. Whoa, what is that?
Haley, you need some help with that?
Hold on. it's really heavy
let me get up on the table
I think you just broke your laptop
I brought this into the room last time
but I totally forgot it was over there
this is a
six cassette box set
by a project called
Bermuda Link
which was Jeffrey Astin
who does X-Fi and I
and Josh Burke who does Sky LimFi Die, and Josh Burke,
who does Sky Limousine.
When they went on tour
maybe two and a half,
three years ago or something like that, they apparently
recorded a shitload of
material and then put out
a shitload of limited
cassettes for the tour.
It comes in a brown...
It looks like leather. A fine leather it comes in like a brown, it looks like leather,
like a fine leather.
It's like a,
it's like a slim brown vinyl box.
Like if you had an Atari when you were a kid.
Don't take that out in the rain.
No,
no,
you don't want to do that.
You know what I'll do?
I'll fold it inside out.
If you had an Atari when you were a kid,
the games,
you could hold the games in a package like these.
Yeah.
And all the stuff that they did
as bermuda link it's all black and white artwork um it looks awesome yeah it looks incredible four
c15s and two c22s i think something like that um i'm just gonna pick at random
got it a c22 coming right out of the middle. So, yeah, this case is like,
I don't have,
I've never seen another case like this.
No,
I've never seen a case like that.
I've seen them that wide,
but not like that's,
like,
specifically like that.
Like,
they're a little bit thinner than the other,
like,
you know,
big album.
I like how much variety there is in the vinyl boxes.
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
There is a lot.
You see so many different kinds,
which is pretty crazy.
It's kind of crazy that,
yeah,
there's that many different kinds being or were manufactured.
Yeah, you get the Norelco.
There is some variation.
But they're more subtle.
It's like the back color.
Yeah, this one's black and this one's clear.
Yeah.
But the vinyl boxes, there's so many different ones.
Yeah, there's a lot.
I'm not just talking about number either. Number of tapes. There's like many different ones. Yeah, there's a lot. I'm not just talking about number either.
Number of tapes.
There's shapes and sizes.
I love...
A lot of them make no sense.
You open them up and it's one that's like...
One tape on the left going one way
or two tapes on the right,
one long ways and one going up and down
so it's shaped like a T.
I've never seen those before.
I have a bunch that I bought from some church off of eBay.
It's so many different
ways to put the tapes in.
Why were any of these even made?
That's crazy. It's a mystery.
It's nice to have the variety though.
It's the
Spice. You said National Audio Company is not making those anymore?
No, they're making them.
Oh, I thought you said they weren't.
No, I mean I haven't seen that specific one.
That specific style.
Okay.
But, yeah, you can still get those.
All right.
Here's a little bit off of a Bermuda Link Scarlet Hitch 6 cassette box set.
It's off your list. The End Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. so Thank you. Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 All right.
What was that?
Bermuda Link.
Bermuda Link.
Are we back?
We are back.
We are back riding just a duo right now.
Joby is no longer with us.
Joby had a...
We had a vote and we decided he was the weakest link.
Now, he'll be back.
He had to go run an errand real quick.
So, I don't really know what this is.
He's a card Jerry that keeps us together.
Right now, I'm just staring at Kramer.
All right, Dave, what do you got?
I got a pile to pick from.
Where's your pile?
What do we want to do here?
Let's do...
You know what?
What?
Let's do...
We haven't played any Josh Lee yet.
No, we haven't.
I think we probably should.
I thought we did because I think we played something off of Husk
the first time around.
I think you played that Al-Qaeda or something
like that.
Yes.
But we haven't played any Josh Lay. No.
So let's do that. What do you got there?
It's another Husk
tape.
Worm
Terrain. Worm Terrain. Worm Terrain.
Hust number 70.
I like his art.
Like, he does all the drawings for the Hust stuff.
I like all his drawings.
Yeah.
His illustrations.
This is a nice one.
This is like a three panel.
Like, he spray painted the artwork and then photocopied that.
So it's not like spray paint on it.
There's like three images here.
Like, three line drawings that he did. like a lot of worms come up eyeballs and shit
this is awesome yeah you got number eight out of 100 here i'm sorry 81
sorry sorry to burst your bubble you did burst it a little all right hand that hand that mama
jam over where's josh from lexington le? Lexington, Kentucky or something like that? Yes.
That sounds right. You don't know, do you?
No, that sounds right.
You're putting it on the wrong side, though.
We're going to play the Band-Aid side.
I was trying to avoid that.
I never like playing the Band-Aid side.
Alrighty.
Are we supposed
to play the tape now? Normally Joe tells us when to do this.
I'm just staring at his empty chair.
I have a montage of Joe moments going on in my head.
You want to call him real quick?
Call him.
Ask him what we're supposed to do.
I'm lost.
We might accidentally play a CD-R.
No, you know what?
We've done this without him before.
All right.
Here's a little bit of Josh Lay,
Worm Terrain cassette on Husk. Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and get back to the car. Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and get back to the car. Thank you. so Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. so Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right, Josh Lay.
Worm Terrain.
Old Husk Jam.
Amen.
A couple years old.
Number 70.
Good luck. Trying to years old. Number 70. Good luck.
Trying to find it.
I just said good luck.
All right, I guess we're skipping Joe because he's still not here.
But he got two turns in a row last time.
You didn't let that go, were you?
Yeah, so the universe has a way of figuring that out.
All right, I got a tape here by an Australian duo. The duo. Yeah, so the universe has a way of figuring that out.
All right, I got a tape here by an Australian duo called Neck Hold.
I saw these guys play.
I played a show with them in Philly a couple years back.
They seem like younger kids.
Maybe in Australia you age differently because you're upside down constantly.
But they were pretty awesome one dude i know he had like a bunch of uh he had like contact mics on like a skateboard deck
and like going through like a bunch like process through like a bunch of pedals and was just like
hammered at the skateboard deck and it was like it was pretty awesome i enjoyed it this is on uh
you say is that you say fage tapes is that how that? Maybe. I don't want to say what... I know what you think it is.
P-H-A-G-E Tapes.
This is number 59.
I always enjoy this label.
This came out...
Well, it came out at a time where MySpace was used
because it says the MySpace.com slash neck hold.
Wow, they got neck hold, huh?
Well, you know what?
That Owen hold might be a zero.
But this is a C20.
It was an addition to 44.
I'm pretty sure it's gone at this point.
But, you know, pick up some neck hold and some other stuff out.
You can still pick up as does Fage Tapes if you want to check them out.
So here is, I think the dude who does fage i think it's uh that project baculum or something like that is that the guy
who does fage i don't know i've i i don't have anything right i think he's a tattoo artist and
he put out a tape um of just like he of him tattooing himself and it's it's like un like no process yeah no processing
no effects no editing just the straight sound of the gun for like however long it took him to
tattoo himself i i think i have it i'm not sure i'm not sure if i i may have given it to joe b
as a gift or something like that um i'll go look for it after this. Maybe if I have it, maybe we'll play a little bit of it.
But yeah, here is a neck hold methylated spirits C20 on Fage. Thank you. so I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home.
I'm going to go home.
I can't stand it anymore.
I'm going to go home. It's time to die! I'm going to go ahead and do it. Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and do that. Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and do this. so so

I'm sorry. neck hold on phage is that how you say it phage phage taste we figured that out
wow seven years of my life i feel like such a fool fage is that what you used to say yeah
fage i think I still will.
Fage.
I like the...
Sounds like a fabric.
I was going to say
it sounds like a scent.
Ooh, it does.
Like a perfume.
What are you wearing?
Fage.
I think it was fage
would have like
one of those accent marks
over the E.
Delicate.
Intimate.
Fage.
I like the center,
the label on this tape.
It's like a bandaid.
No, it's like a nice texture to it.
It feels like leather.
Yeah, it feels really nice.
Phase has changed up.
They've had a lot of like aesthetics over the years that they like went with for like, you know, a couple of batches.
Then they changed them up and they always look really, really nice.
I like with the big phage tapes logo on the back.
It looks really nice.
Where is Neckhold from?
Australia?
Neckhold's from Australia.
We already talked about this.
You weren't here.
I know.
You weren't here.
Okay.
Life went on without you, Joe.
Where's phage tape from?
I think Minnesota.
Minnesota.
All right.
Somewhere. It's very cold there. You do a lot of shoveling. You do a lot, yeah. Where's Phage State from? I think Minnesota. Minnesota. All right. Somewhere that's very cold there.
You do a lot of shoveling.
You do a lot, yeah.
Frontiering, right?
A lot.
Dave, what do you got?
Joe, you don't have anything
you want to take a sat on?
No, I'm done.
All right.
Is this it?
Are we going out?
Yeah, we're going out.
I'm going downstairs.
Okay.
Thanks for leaving and then coming back and not doing anything,
except for asking questions that we already answered.
Zingo!
What do you got, Dave?
I'm trying to pick between these two. Say left or right.
Left or right.
Pick one.
No, pick left or right.
Don't say left or right.
Pick one. Right, pick left or right. Don't say left or right. Pick one.
Right.
Right.
Left.
All right.
Should have went with right.
Now say A or B.
Wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
Which left or right?
Because he said...
My left or your left?
My left or right?
My left hand or right hand?
You can't have two lefts.
That's ridiculous.
All right.
You picked a split.
Now pick A side or B side.
B.
Whichever one's rewound.
B.
Yeah.
Let's not be assholes here.
Split down the middle.
I'm just kidding.
Cool.
Cool.
I'm just kidding.
It's rewound to the A side.
So we're going to play.
I like this too.
What is it?
This Sam Goldberg and Mark McGuire split that came out.
What is this?
Is this just like a tour tape or something?
Was it on Pizza Night?
No, Pizza Wagon.
Pizza Wagon.
Now, let me ask you this.
Is it the Goldberg side?
Because I think we've already played Mark McGuire.
Yeah, it's the Goldberg side.
All right, good.
Because I don't think we've played any Sam Goldberg yet.
This is not the most together tape, presentation-wise,
just have to say.
No, I have a couple tapes from Wagon.
It looks good from a distance.
Get your eye on that
and you're going to see quite a few flaws.
Well, first of all, you got the
hard corner Noroco case.
That's never a good thing.
My hands are... It's like sandpaper.
What else do we want to complain about?
No, I think... The label's falling off here. What else do we want to complain about? No, I think I like the...
The label's falling off here.
What is that, water damage?
You know what you do, Dave?
You call your insurance company.
It might be the post office fault.
What kind of labels is on here?
Another one of these weird cut by hand?
It's a little strange.
It's put on there like...
It's like they were robbing a bank
while they put these labels on. It's like, strange. And it's put on there like... It's like they were robbing a bank while they put these labels on it.
It's like, hurry up, Mark!
Hurry up, Mark!
Got some bubbles and blisters.
I do like how the one side is all blue
and the one side is all orange.
And it goes with the artwork
that has a lot of orange and blue in it.
That's pretty cool.
And all the Pizza Night tapes have all this like the handwritten little
the handwritten thing inside like the oddly shaped blob i have one tape where the blob is like a
separate piece of paper taped in there and it's like so weird yeah i don't know why you know i
should take it off and see if something's underneath of it just the blob like taped on like a square
piece of paper yeah like the j card and then there's an oddly shaped blob with text on like a square piece of paper yeah like a j-card and then there's an oddly shaped blob with
textile cut out and like glued onto
there or something like that should
look at when we're done here I don't
think this looks that bad especially
some of the shit you've brought over
here Dave don't get me started on that
fucking like legless or whatever it was
that would would you change anything
about that no nothing it's a it's a
conversation piece.
We're still talking about it.
If they reissued that with beautiful artwork, I'd be pissed.
No, I would think that would be hilarious.
If they put out a nice LP and a gatefold cover of it.
Like a 190-gram vinyl.
The same artwork, but a nice glossy stock paper.
Like really thick stock paper.
Artwork's the same.
Like offset printed, really nice, thick, 110-point. nice glossy stock paper. Like really thick cover stock. The artwork's the same.
Like offset printed,
really nice,
really nice quality.
110 point glossy cover stock.
But still the worst artwork. Like machine scored,
pro-dubbed,
but the same exact,
oh please someone do that.
Please someone do that.
Please reissue that tape.
Oh that'd be so good.
Alright,
are we going out
on the same Goldberg tape?
Going out on Sam Goldberg.
All right, right on.
Thanks to Derek Rogers for doing the intro.
And we'll see you next time on the themed episode.
The body.
The body.
The body episode.
Maybe one of these days,
Derek Rogers can beat me at words with friends
because currently I've been crushing him.
He's like sitting there like,
I think I'll play as three points.
And I'm like, bam, long word, 28 points.
Bam, long word, 42 points.
I can't think of the words right now, but they're definitely awesome.
And it's not just offense.
You're playing defense when you're playing words with friends.
All right?
That's a common mistake that people have.
You don't want to open up spots for other people.
You've got to play the board you got the board is part of your it's your opponent
you want to start over start over the okay okay you gotta play the board what there are
eight categories of letters all right san goldberg side of his split up with Mark McGuire on, did you say this was Pizza Wagon or was it Pizza Night?
Pizza Wagon.
Pizza Wagon.
