Well, I got... only go to dot ponies now yeah we don't have to talk about that though okay not anymore well i got that's dave's good improv technique because whenever you want to whenever you bring up the story he says yeah but we don't have to talk about that right now ever had a lizard kiss you three what do you what do you got there that tape looks like it's like a nice price bundle ranch jams that's what it's on. Ranch Jams. That label. It's really not wonderful. It looks like, what is the cover?

The cover is of, it's a picture of two other cassette tapes, right? Yeah. It's a lizard. It's not. Did this. A rabbit or a squirrel. Maybe it's a possum. So did this...

Is this a shark? Dave, please be serious. Please, please, please, please. That's a tuna, bro! It's a fucking big sea turtle. That is still good meat on that fucking fish, kid. Was this a two separate cassettes that had already been released? No idea.

You have no idea? No idea. I don't think so. You don't get that vibe from it. I think it's high concept art. I think they're being cheeky. Oh, the concepts again. Yeah.

I love when the concepts get real, real high. They shatter that glass ceiling. That's what I think. It's beautiful. But anyway, I'm going to play stuff from the dot pony side. And who is dot pony? Una Cinta. Oh, I'm going to play stuff from the dot pony side. And who is dot pony? Una Cinta. Oh, I have no idea.

Really did your homework on this one. You should do a podcast with this one. Yeah. I just play the tapes, baby. Let the people decide. That's all the people want. Hand it over here. It looks nice, though.

It does look nice. You see what I mean about the... Dave, you see what I mean. It's like a 3D... Oh, I see what you mean. It's not just a picture of like two covers on the front. Like,

what I'm saying is the cover's not split in half with an image on the top and an image on the bottom. There are two, like, cassettes, like, in cases. Have I hammered that home? Yeah. It's meta. You painted me like crazy. I think it's meta. I want to... Yeah, that's what I think. I really want to put you there.

I really want to... Well, I'm there. It's like I might have VR goggles on. It's augmented reality. What kind of music is this? That's a good question. What is it? The A side, it says it, actually.

If you read the text. It does say it. I saw that. Yeah. You read it, Dave, out loud into the microphone. It does? Yeah. Where does it say it? There, Dave, out loud into the microphone. It does? Where does it say it? There's a map.

It says it on the back. Engrossing hip-hop beats. Yeah. Okay. And what side B? Nervous, aching techno rhythms. Yeah. I can't listen to that kind of stuff.

Ranch jams. Ranch jams. Yeah. I don't like ranch. I wouldn't think so. That's gross. Maybe it's not the dressing, though. It's jam, like ranch jam.

Like a ranch house, like a ranch-style house. Ew, that's gross. Yeah, ranch jam would be disgusting. I don't know. The label's logo is a slice of pizza playing the saxophone. You can only get that at Cracker Barrel. So they gift shop at Cracker Barrel. They got ranch jam.

Ew, they got ranch jam at the gift shop. Oh, Cracker Barrel's so gross. No, don't say that. You like it? They're a sponsor. Don't say that. Last time I went there, everything on my plate was white. Like, the eggs were white, the potatoes were white.

And you hate white food. Yeah, I don't like white food. Yeah, so you're in quite a pickle there. Yeah, I ate it. But it wasn't good. Davey Boy, what are you going to play to follow up Dot Pony I want to play Brin Brin

Brin this is tape on patient sounds I'm going to ask a question and it's okay to answer it any way you'd like have we played this tape before I don't know maybe we did maybe we didn't I don't know I mean patient sounds like have a similar art aesthetic.

I do have an archive. Actually, I lost the key, and I can't get in there anymore, and all of my masters are in there. I know. How do you think I feel? But this just came out in July, so I don't think so. Okay. Maybe we played another Brent tape before.

That sounds familiar. Okay. It's a project from Portland, Oregon. Ooh, people love that city. What did you do to this Naraka case, Dave? You sit on it? I don't know. You try to ollie over it and just land right on it?

I fell up the steps on the way here. Oh, man. Are you okay? I'm fine. You fell up the steps? My neck's a little stiff. No, I was just trying to make conversation. Keep trying.

A fall? He's been, Joe, in all seriousness, he's been doing that lately. Lying about getting hurt. Tripped on the curb out front. Yeah. I saw him break a bottle over his head before he got here.

I was in a fight at a bar. No, I don't... It's not that serious. It's always little things. Really bumped my elbow downstairs. Did you not? No, I'm just trying to talk about... Did you raise the height of your banister on there?

I really swiped... Alright, then my turn. This artwork is awesome, by the way. You want to be the judge of that? It's got the Patient Sounds template that they use. But I normally see that kind of artwork from this label. Joe.

Go to Joe. It's abstract a lot. It's very abstract. The outsiders are just... I'm super into it. Yeah. Well, you are one of them. I like art.

Yeah, yeah. I got the eebie-jeebies. Very nice. Pink Shell looks very nice. Patient Sounds is very nice. Oh, there's a track featuring Bastion Void. I haven't heard that name in a little bit. Is that a fact? Yeah. Yeah, there's a track featuring Bastion Void I haven't heard that name in a little bit

yeah is that a fact yeah yeah there's there's a couple which one which part what

this one the fact that I haven't heard of Bastion Void in a while or the fact that it's featuring Bastion Void are those those are my only two options yeah

the first one okay yeah this is uh Colin Blanton nice nice using sensory percussion What's that mean?

I don't know Percussion you can feel Or maybe it's like he's playing drums with his brain They can do that now Black Mirror you can do that now The B side is dedicated to Tanner There's a B side? Just the B side

That's funny because the program repeats on the b side yeah so it's just a wait a minute wait a minute so it's so hold on wait this no no no no so the program is on both sides the a side yes oh my god and then on the B side on the B side they're coming home and they're saying

mom I want a vape time to play B side on the B side it's the same thing but that's dedicated to Tanner but not the he doesn't get the A side.

He or she. He or she. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or they. Whatever, man. Hey, I'm not getting audience. Don't cancel me. Please.

It's really not wonderful. That's one thing I think we can say definitely. Many, many french fries. I don't know where my tapes are. Does anybody else? I don't know. I don't have my glasses on. I should have been more prepared than this.

Yeah. I would think so. There they are. I got them. Mike's got them. And McDonald's. This is all good stuff. You know what I'm going to play?

And this is very nice. This is very... Oh, you're going to play a nice tape? It's like, you know what I'm gonna play and this is very nice this is very oh you're gonna play a nice tape it's like you know I know I'm good at this Dave please don't cough while I'm I know that I'm good

at the pod no you don't have to do that boys oh but I didn't know I was this good so who did you say was on that tape

you haven't heard from in a while Bash and Void oh look at this Bash and Void tape I got yes I do and I have one, and it is right here.

Calm down. This tape is called Acreage, and it's on Moose. Is that why you're playing it? Because you saw that? Hand to God, I'm giving myself the sign of the cross right now. May St. Peter strike me with his holy torch if I am lying to you.

I did not know that. St. Peter has a torch? holy torch if I am lying to you. Huh. I did not know that. St. Peter has a torch? Like a weapon? That's his weapon? Yes. That's a dumb weapon. You're supposed to use that for life. No.

I envision more like a lightning bolt. Like a flamethrower. It's just like a big lighter, like a barbecue lighter. You can only use it once. That's so dumb. No, you could swing that around real close. But it would just strike. You were coming at me and I had a torch and I went like that.

You would back up. Oh, I would back up. But once you hit him one time with it. You can't hit me. Joe, I wouldn't even let him approach you with the torch. I have the torch. You have the torch? Yeah.

And what's Dave doing? Why is he coming at you? Because he wants it. And I'm like, no. Muzan Editions, number 32. Just put out a new batch. What a weird coinkydink. And Joe Bastardo, who does this project, handled the artwork for, you know, this is one of those labels they do.

Excuse me. They do one artist handles the batch artwork is what they do. And he did this one. David, you have one of them over there. Let me see. It's very nice. It looks like a website from a time gone by. The picture's not done loading. Looks very nice.

Wow, there's a lot of tapes over here. Yeah, look at the shell sticker on there. I just want to point out that I like this. I like the shape of the shell sticker on there. I just want to point out that I like this. I like the shape of the shell sticker. I like that. Yeah, the top is angled, cut little corners, but the bottom's rounded.

It's rounded, and I don't know how they did it. Why they did it. I don't know where the technology exists. I like this tape, too. The tape's nice. And look at the little window in the middle. Where did they get that? Where did they get what?

The tape. These tapes, they're nice. They could have been anywhere. Are the windows nice? It's's nice. And look at the little window in the middle. Where did they get that? Where did they get what? The tape. These tapes, they're nice. They could have been anywhere. The window's nice. It's very nice. So I think- With the little meter on there, so you can,

I can never read it, though. I don't know why they bother putting that on there. I'm like, I don't know. Yeah, has anybody ever used that for any reason? Oh, some audiophiles are out there, like, well.

Trust me, Dave. We'll get some emails. Because, like, if the spool, like, moves around a little bit, you know what I mean? You can push the spool a little bit. Joe, you have that. You need to wind it real good.

Joe has a series of tools. A little leather case with four or five tools in it that he uses to read how long a tape is. Is that minutes? No, I don I think so. No, I don't think so. I think they use a whole other thing.

They must. Right, like on the tape deck, the counter. It's like a different set of... And what are the dashes? It goes from zero, then a bunch of dashes, to 50, and then to 100. So an incredibly cool little lizard. Well, I don't know.

I think the one in the middle is 25. And the one between the 50 and 100, I think, is 75. Every dash is 5. Metric system. Three. All right, you ready to play these tables? So let me count. Hold on.

Count them all. We're going to test the accuracy of this. Give Dave room to test. Give Dave room to test. Accuracy, all right. All right, so we got five. You want me to get my tools? 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50.

Look up this Chad Munson surface tension tape and tell me if it's a C50. Oh, all right. Okay. We'll do that off air. Should we do it off air? Should we do it live? I mean, I'm not going to say. I cast so many jitters I can't tell you.

I think this is something people, you know, are going to want to. They want me to cool out and get it accurate. Okay. All right. You know, when they're like, after the commercial break, we're going to get to the bottom. And we'll be right back. Thank you. Bye. I love you. I could take you right up, up, up now on me so wow Thank you. Bye. Outro Music Thank you. uh Selections. Thank you. Question. Question. Question. Question.

Question. Question. Question. Question. Question. Thank you. so I'm out. Thank you. I'm sorry. so um so so Thank you. Holy crap. Somebody check if we're still on planet Earth.

Those outsiders took me away and they're UFOs. Mom, I want to vape. Bastion boy. It just makes me want to vape more. What? Like all the people getting sick and dying? Oh, yeah. I was thinking only six people have died from vaping.

Imagine being one of those people. That's God level status. You'd be a legend. That's like the starting five of the 1994 Chicago Bulls and the Six Men. Bashing void on the Muzan editions. Dave, you got any update on your work? You were doing some math work over there. Your levels out, your rulers.

Yeah. Did you figure your pica gauge? Did you figure anything out buddy the gauge that weird that heavy pointy weight on a string

yeah the plum check the plum yeah what is that for anyway level level

like vertical level vertical level okay so it just hangs it just hangs the x axis right or is it the y

that's the y the y alright do we know anything more about the little marker the gauge the time gauge it's accurate it. The Y, all right. Do we know anything more about the little marker? The gauge, the time gauge. It's accurate. It's accurate.

Dave confirmed it was accurate. It is accurate. Highly, actually, I think is what he said. Pretty accurate. Highly accurate. I like, so the Chad Munson tape, and then Daniel Klag, that's the third tape in the, yeah, that's the third tape in that batch.

Daniel Klag, I think out of all the artworks that Joe Bisardo did, I think Daniel Klag's is, I like it that batch. Daniel Klag, I think out of all the artworks that Joe Bastardo did, I think Daniel Klag's is, I like it the most. From Klag Quartet? Yeah, from Klag Quartet, yeah. Good one, Dave. Good noise joke, very, you know, underground. Only a few will get it.

Did Klag Quartet play VFD this year? I don't even know if that happened. I don't know. You didn't play two days I was there, I don't think. I don't know. Mike didn't play two days I was there. Mike's still mad at you. What? Mike's still mad at you that you went. Don't bring up Boyz II the Badly. I can't believe you went and you didn't tell me.

I can't believe you at least didn't show up. At least let me know on the way down that you were leaving. Why would I do that? My phone beeped, so I knew you were out of state. I know that you... Is there any chance in the world that you would have been able to go last minute when I decided that morning

to go to VOVF? To drive to West Virginia from Delaware? Yeah, for a couple of days. For a couple of days. You were just going to be able to figure out a situation with your kids and everything in less than six hours? You have kids. If I had found out that both of you had went,

I would have drove as a bit. Like a classic Alexander T. Just show up. I would have just shown up on you. Rolled up right on you. All right. Oh. No.

You boys got some more of these outsider tapes you want to spin? Should we spin more? Dave, you want to go first? Sure. I want to go last. I want to spin? Should we spin more? Dave, you want to go first? Oh, sure. I want to go last. I want to go last. Purposefully. You want to play some beat?

You want to go last? Yeah. I can do that for you. What do you got, Davey boy? I'll play this cool person tape. Can you make that happen? What is it? Cool person?

Cool person. Oh, I love cool people. Yeah, cool person. Slick people. Name of the tape is weird person. Ooh, I don't like them. No, I don't like them either. You never know what they're going to do.

Wasn't there a weird person? Did you say weird person? The name of the tape is Weird Person. The person is Cool Person. Who is Odd Person? I have an Odd Person tape. Yeah. Is it called Weird Person?

I'm going to have to go look in the archives. This is so complicated. I'm already so confused. This is August Traeger, right? That's who does this project? I don't know. Is that? He sounds pretty cool.

That's a cool name. I thought that was odd person. Oh. I think I thought. And this is. Somebody look it up. This episode is super meta. Somebody look it up. I don't somebody look it up i don't think

that's a good discussion we're just confused joe oh oh i don't think i know what meta what does meta mean anyway i'm not really sure either be honest like a box within a box it's like inception who is this odd person yeah it's like it's like if somebody like releases august trager the photoshop uh toolbar as a piece of art. Like a screenshot of the Photoshop window. That's meta. That's meta. This is August Traeger.

Odd person. But this is a cool person. Wait, this is a cool person? Yeah. And it's called weird person. Oh, Christ. Hold on. That's somebody who's- See, I'm sensing a pattern.

Blue Sharp. Who's that? Roy Allen. Roy Allen. Who's that? Well, that's who this is. Okay, so it's not August Trager. All right.

This is really good content. You don't want any more of that? Thank you. Yeah, Odd Person is August Trager, like I said. I think we just move on from this mess. This is Cool Person. Hand it over. This is so complicated. Oh, like I said. I think we just move on from this mess. This is a cool person. Hand it over. This is so complicated.

Oh, this is some abstract art. More abstract artwork, huh? Or is it just that none of these people can do art well? Yeah. Yeah. And we just say it's abstract? Yes. There's a binding contract in outsider art.

Does it make you feel cool? That if you're a musician... I could do this. Well, you could, but you're like a musician. I could do this. Well you could but you're an artist. You're an artist. But I think we have kind of like an unspoken thing in like the underground. This

intense underground we live in. Many many french fries. That if like if you do one thing well then we all agree you can just do like a painting too. Yeah. Yeah. It's like you know if Thurston Moore wants to paint we all agree. We all really like it. It's good. We put it too. Yeah. It's like, you know, if Thurston Moore wants to paint, we all agree that it's good. We're all going to like it. It's good.

We put it in the gallery. It goes up. That one's, yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah. What are you going to play? No, I don't know. Maybe his art's good.

I don't know anything about art. It probably is good. Yeah, I don't know. Am I next? Because you want to go last? Yeah, I want to go last. I'm going to play one that's going to drive you wild, Joe Day. Whoa. It's is. Yeah, I don't know. Am I next? Because you want to go last? Yeah, I want to go last. I'm going to play one that's going to drive you wild,

Jode. Whoa. It's going to drive you nuts. What kind of wild? Good wild? Bad wild? Close your eyes. Put out your hands.

Close your eyes. Both of them, or can I just do the one? Just do the one. I'm going to play this Peter Criss album. I'm going to put it in your hand.

Give you a little lizard kiss here. I get this all in my head with a sandpaper? I knew you would hate it. What grit is that? 120? It's a small one.

It's so small. That was the worst thing ever. I knew you would hate this. I have to get my hand wet now. It's so new. Feel that. This is Peter Critt. It's like a shingle.

I know. It's awful. It's two doors. What? And kiss. Oh, okay. This isn't that one, though. This is another kiss. Oh, okay. This isn't that one, though.

This is another one. This is like a bootleg one. It's one of the German army fellas having a laugh. This is so you can't tear it, right? That's why it's on there? So you can't tear the paper?

I don't know, man. It's too loose Narokko's there. I still hate it. It's like coming off. I know. I kind of like it. I mean, you know I would.

You're a texture man. I am a texture man. I'm a big texture man. Is this volcanic ash? Who knows? No one knows. God, it is really on there too, isn't it? You're going to get it in the keys of your laptop. I feel like, look at the Noroco cases themselves.

They seem so scratched to hell. They seem like they've been through something. There's a little moisture back. Leave that. I put that in there. Leave that. You can't take this out too many times. Otherwise, the tape will disappear. I know. That's what I'm getting at.

Joby, I knew it would drive you nuts. I can still feel it on my hand. This is on OTA. They put out this tape. OTA. Yes, Peter Criss. Mondin Maroney. Os Trace Amigos.

Yes, exactly. It's a C56 and it's a double tape. C56 and a C58. Nice. So about an average of 57 between across the...

And I can just pump those kind of equations out sometimes. Came out in addition of 50. Hand it over here. I'm not touching it. You won't even

pass it to me? No. Dang. I'm not touching it again. And you're not touching it again. Hand it over here. I'm not touching it. You won't even pass it to me? No. Dang. I'm not touching it again. And you're not touching it again. So it's... You want gloves? Are you trying to do Shanghai me?

You're picking up so nicely. I like it. Oh, it's gross. Where do you put that on the shelf? That's a good question. Where am I going to put it? You know, I might keep it down on the shelf to just do some sanding work. Some light sanding work.

I noticed some... Watch out, it's on your arm! Actually, you know what? That's nice. Yeah, look at that. Actually, it looks better now. With a little bit of wear on it. Put it to work.

I'm going to put this tape to work. Good for me. Don't try to sell that on Discogs. Now it's used. Heavily used. That's not mint. Actually, I believe in the underground experimental scene we call it a collaboration

I believe is what just happened you just collabed and we'll all agree on it we'll have some of those yogurt balls yogurt balls there's a nut in the middle I thought it was just going to be a I don't know go to Joe

maybe a chocolate in the middle that's a big one go to Joe don't talk about Go to Joe. Maybe a chocolate in the middle, but it's a nut. Go to Joe. That's a big one. Go to Joe. Don't talk about that, Dave. Too horny. All right, Joe, what do you got? You want to go last? Yeah, I do.

What do you got? If we can turn the lights off. You guys. No, you don't really have to do it. The listeners will think that the lights are off in the studio, but they're on. We're just going to sit here and be quiet. Wait, are they supposed to shut off their lights? Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Yeah, they to shut off their lights? Yeah, maybe.

Yeah, they should shut off their lights. If you're driving, close your eyes. If you're driving, close your eyes. If you're driving, close your eyes. If you're wearing sunglasses, keep them on. I'm going to play this Chakra 1 tape by the music's by Starburst. So the A side. Starburst? Starburst. Yeah, Starburst. This is on the A side. Starburst?

Starburst. Yeah, Starburst. This is on the Starburst Music Academy label. The A side is a guided meditation. And then the B side is instrumental music.

It's a guided meditation. Medication? It's medicine. Guided medicine. So you eat it? Yeah, you eat it. A guided meditation, you say? Yeah, by Ash Brooks.

Okay. And then, like I said, on the B side is instrumental music. And this is on the label Flower Room, correct? Yes. This is one of the only... I like this label. I thought you would. I pegged you to this.

There's a couple chakra ones that we got in the old mail. Yeah, because you know about the chakras, right? I know about the chakras. Which one? Is there? Ask Joe and B. I like the butt one. Be straight with me.

You know I was going to ask you if there was a butt one. Is there? Oh, yeah. There is a butt chakra? I'm sure there is. Very nice. Sweet baby rings. You know, this is some hippy-dippy bullshit, but it's awesome.

You love that kind of shit. I love hippy-dippy stuff. You love that. You eat it up. I eat it up. Yeah, yeah. But this flower room label is one of the only few labels I'll give a pass on these poly cases. Oh, I like the poly cases.

I like what they do with them, yeah. Because it's like a different series than the other tapes that I have from them. You know, the other tapes are in regular cases, and these ones are in these cases. Yeah. The soft poly cases with the wraparound sticker on the outside. On the outside, yeah. You gotta stick it on the outside. It's so crisp on the outside. Did you think they

squeegeed it? Oh, big time. Yeah, to get it down that... How much was it a pain in the ass to put all these stickers on? No, I bet it was part of a meditation exercise. Or that's what, whoever's at the top of this pyramid scheme, this flower room pyramid scheme,

who's like having their followers, they're like, yes, flower master. Then they're putting together all the tapes. Who does this label? I don't know. Is it Ash Brooks? I think it is Ash Brooks. Okay. Yeah. Alright. That's what I think. Alright. Well, you want to get into this? Or M.L.

Wah. So should people close their eyes now and through me and Dave's tapes? What I like about this tape, on the back it says, for a print catalog of available titles, please write to Flower Room, and then it has their address. Oh, all right. They have a print catalog. Yeah, why not?

Do you think it's really small? I mean, I don't know. I bet it's on glossy paper. Oh, it's definitely on glossy paper. Yeah, it looks like it would be. No, 100% recycled. Oh, good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He has seen the earth change around him, but in his remains steady and ever growing. The The The The The The The

The The This landscape has slightly altered considerably since this tree first sprouted into existence. And yet, still it remains. Feel or imagine the way the earth is below you? Does the ground feel springy and mossy? Or is it hard and packed with dirt? You may wish to put a hand on the earth beside you, to be on the grass, the very deep into the air. Stretching out far beyond its trunk. Far beyond the place where you sit.

In the deep darkness of the soil, they extend, ever growing, ever reaching, for life, nutrients, and expansion. Ken? Can you feel relaxed now, Dave? Right under the toilet. Bing, boom. I'm going to go. Starburst. Super relaxed. Got inspiration by Ashbrook's Chakra 1. I don't feel nervous or anything. No, you look good. Mom, I want a vape. That kind of music you do in a vape too,

just to give the atmosphere. You want big dope ass clouds in the room. 300 hamburgers. Cool person who we decided is not odd person, but they do have a split. Odd people aren't cool. Right, Dave? That's correct. Don't say that, man. We only have like four or five

listeners, but they're all weird, freak, fucking stupid. Freak pieces of shit. And no weird shit. That's okay! Unless there's an octopus. But this cool person, all their tapes are a type of person, right? Yes. Weird person, tall person, all the different types of

people. Maybe it's a possum. Maybe. Possum person. You can do whatever you want. What started off? What did I play? I identify as a possum. I played that, Peter Christie. Come on, man. Come on. That's a joke. We can joke about it now. No, that's what he... We already did

the agenda joke earlier. I thought we could joke about this now. Dave, I told you he's been listening to too much Joe Rogan. That's sugar for him. You gotta get out of that sugar, boy. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. So an incredibly cool

little lizard. All right, Joe, to punish you. Ever had a lizard kiss you? To punish you, you have to go first this time. I'll take that. And what tape do you have

for our dumb fucking listeners? Oh! I'm gonna play a blast from the past. What? From before. From before. Holy cow. I'm going to play this Machine That Flashes tape.

Remember that band? The hardcore band. The hardcore band. The hardcore band with the guitar. Members of Zedd. Yes. Do you remember them? I do.

From Philadelphia. You've been playing a lot of this hardcore rock and roll Hardcore rock and roll stuff My co-worker, Kevin Reilly Okay He let me borrow this Oh, that's nice He's like lending it out to you like a library?

Well, they put out like a double CD in 2001. Okay, okay. And these are four tracks from that double CD. But when was this put out? Well, the double CD came out in 2001, so I would have to think around then. Okay, all right. Before it.

It predates it. But not much before is what you're saying. I wouldn't go too far before. Just a few months just to get people. You don't think they put that in 97? We're like, in 2001, we're going to put out this and more songs. And McDonald's. On a CD.

But anyway, I was showing him Chris's Instagram page with all the old flyers. Yeah. And we were talking about Zedd, and then we were talking about Machine and the Flashes, and he was like, I have a Machine and the Flashes tape. And then he said he would lend it to you, but you had to give him a shout out to go ahead. At KevinRaleighTattoos.com. Three. No, at Instagram.

Pretty good. At Instagram.com. Dot wave. Dot pony Three. No, at Instagram. Pretty good. At Instagram.com. Dot wave. Dot pony. Come on, man. And just a little flame in the corner, huh? I love this old tape. The first show in Philadelphia that I ever went to, I saw that band.

Machine and the Flashes or Zedd? Machine and the Flashes. Oh, so this is like a little blast from, this is like a little personal journey. It was acrid. Dave, this is really good. People love when podcasts get personal. Joe, can you expand? What was going through your mind?

I went with Larry and Mike Parkstrove. Okay. And we stopped at that gas station by his house, by Ferris, the school for troubled boys. And girls. Whatever. It's a baby fucking wheel man and I had a book bag

with a whole bunch of change in it because I didn't have any like money coins nickels and I put it on the hood of his car

when he was getting gas for some reason and we drove away and I didn't have it the next time that Mike went to that gas station no

the dude gave it to him no he was like oh you dropped this out of your car get out of here yeah and all my change was. No. He was like, oh, you dropped this out of your car. Get out of here. Yeah.

And all my change was still in it. It was like $30 in change. Do you remember September 12th, 2001 when we all came together like that and we would do stuff like that for each other

all the time? Gotcha. That's beautiful, Joe. So machine that flashes. Very hardcore, very good. Davey Boy. Yes.

Can you follow that up? Yeah. I don't know if you can. There's not a chance he can. How do you follow it? Anybody know who you are? I'm going to play this Allos tape. Ooh, Allos, good for the skin.

Allos. This is multiple Allos. The more, the better. Allos. Who's Allos? Did you get a sunburn? Allos. Multiple aloes. The more, the better. Aloes? Who's aloes? Did you get a sunburn? Aloes. Project from Atlanta, Georgia.

Oh, the windy city. Run your Alabama. Watch out. Hurricane coming. It's not true. Keep telling me that, Dave. I'll fucking punch you in the face. One more and then I'll put it out.

No, put it out now. Come on. So who's aloes? You want to take this to the next level? Who's aloes? Tell me who that is. puncher in the face. One more and then I'll put it out. No, put it out now. Come on. So who's Al? Do you want to take this to the next level? Who's Alos? Tell me who that is. Someone from Georgia. That's all you know.

Reed Wagner from Atlanta, Georgia. A lot of good names tonight. A lot of good names tonight. Did you ever watch Judge Wagner? Yeah, I loved it. People's Corpse. Oh, the People's Corpse. That's a good one.

Let me see the artwork on this one. Let me see if I dig it or not. I'll take one look at it. I'll let you know. People's Corpse. Oh, the People's Corpse. That's a good one. Let me see the artwork on this one. Let me see if I dig it or not. I'll take one look at it. I'll let you know if it's any good. Because it might be shit, and I'll tell you. Speaking of hurricanes. Joe Big. It might be shit, and I'm the kind of motherfucker who will tell you.

You tell the truth. Yeah, you speak your mind. Oh, this is nice. This is good. Very good. Very good. Good stuff. Is it abstract? That's abstract, right?

Yeah. I mean, you tell me what that is. I don't know. A couple of wavy lines. No bowl of fruit in that one, my friend. This is very nice. Yeah. I don't know if it's on a label or not.

I think there's like a catalog number on there, or maybe it's not. We'll never know. But you don't know? Yeah, there's no label name anywhere in the tape. Can I do... Let me ask you this.

Can I do a double dose? Yeah, you can do whatever you want. Can I do a double dose here? From my block? I play a plural tape, so now you have to play two? Yes. Yes.

That is in the bylaws. Okay. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. I went back to that junk store treasure hunt, which has been, you know that store in Newcastle? Where's that at? No. It's at the farmer's market. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's like super condensed. When were you at the farmer's market? There's like shit all over the place. I was thinking about going tomorrow. What the fuck would you care? Because I was just there. I mean, would you really have? Because I was just there. It would be weird you really have... Because I was just there.

It would be weird if we were there together. Last minute gone if he called you. I've thought many times, Dave, of actually being out and seeing you. Yeah, what would happen? That's why I think about it so much. The way that our ancestors used to dream about hunting so they were prepared. I still don't know what I would do. I think you would

just nod and wave and then just keep walking. I think I would just act like I didn't see them, to be honest. Take out my phone. Play with my phone. Every time I go to this store, it's mainly model train shit. Some boat stuff, too. Like an aircraft carrier type stuff.

A lot of broken stuff. A lot of old magazines. I got a bubble tea. It was not good. You got a bubble tea from the junk store? Don't do that. That's a dumb ass move, man. You're a dumb motherfucker. It was just under something. Yeah, don't do that.

Five dollars. And you're like, all right. It's mango. My favorite flavor. But there's always stacks of tapes every time and there's always like every time i go through them all and then the next time there's always like two or three more like new age or like you know like evangelist tape i picked up nice that's what i hear a couple of uh tapes and stuff like that and i got a a few Katara tapes. Oh, nice.

I picked this one up because I thought it was a split with Oasis, and I love that meme, Wonderwall. It's not. This is a good cover. It is, isn't it? The two hands. Not even that, just the description of the chromium dioxide slash audio file. And McDonald's.

Just letting you know, this is chromium dioxide. It says about three or four times in there about how if your tape deck is not equipped to play this tape, that you need to lower the treble. Whoa, decreased treble response when playing on units not equipped with Dolby playback circuits. Oh, boy. This tape is mastered to Dolby B standards for noise reduction.

I got to get, Joe, do you have a... Dolby sucks. Dolby sucks. You got a sucks. Who uses that shit? It's awful. I don't know, man. Dave, calm down, though. It's not that big of a deal. Leave it alone. Just cool out, man. It's no big deal. You're going to fall off the stairs again.

I don't like when it rolls off all the high end. It's tux. But either way, I'm going to play some stuff off this. Playback on your machine. You got to set the machine to... I know. I'm going to play some stuff off this. Playback on your machine. You've got to set the machine to... I know. I'm going to open it up. Chrome switch, parentheses, 70 U.S. EQ.

Jesus Christ. On some units, this is designated as metal. Hold on. Start over. So read it all again. On machines without chrome or metal switches, you may find it necessary to adjust the treble. Again with the treble.

Yeah. They're treble crazy. I'm all about that bass, baby. Trust me. I know you are, brother. I know you are. Anybody know who you are? But guitar, you know, one of the probably most well-known New Age composers there is, right? Can we all agree on that?

Yeah, yeah. Can we all agree on that? People love him. People love him. And there are some fucking... I mean, I can get why people love him. There's slammers on this thing. I put it in the tape and it started slamming me

with New Age music. I love that shit. Bing, bing, bing, bing. All right, let's go. I also... Wait, I want to play one more. I want to play another one. I forgot you were doing it. I got another banger. I want to put them together. I forgot you had two. Madhu Maktar. Alana the Creator. That's a good one.

It slaps. It slaps. It's a tape that slaps. I can't get over this. I played a track by him before from a comp. From a comp, right? On the show, yeah. You know, a brilliant backstory.

Never heard Ronk, right? never heard Ronk right never heard Ronk never heard a Ronk in his life did make his you know make your own guitar very you know

religious area that he lived in didn't like secular music too much had to do it you know you had to like dig a hole

and play it in the hole nobody could hear it hmm is that true no that part about the hole I made up that kind of

part of my storytelling technique. Make one thing up. He banged his elbow. But I believe a lot of his earlier stuff was recorded onto cell phones. Like a cell phone trading network. Yeah, very, very nice. Very nice.

You know, Robert Beatty did the artwork for this new one. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, shit, I didn't know that. Well, I did. So maybe old Mike can get one over on you boys after all. But we got a few... Fuck you, man. That was a perfect good slam. But Sahel Sounds,

number 51, this Mudumaktar. And I want to just play, I just wanted to jam these slammers together into a slammer sandwich, have it slap me so hard. Sounds good. I want to do it. Toil bowl cake? Alright, you ready to do this? Answer me.

I'm going to go. Good day, boys. You know that's not true. There it is. Are we back? We're back. I can't hear anything. Me neither, dude. I can't hear a lick of it.

What kind of engineer are you? They were too hot before. Now they're too cold. Now they're just right. Oh, no. Now they're warm and fuzzy. This has been an emotional roller coaster for me. What episode is it?

143. Give me a little lizard kiss here. It takes 10,000 times before you are master of something. Yeah. Is that true? Is that the number? That's what they say. So Dave's only at 147.

Yeah. I've got a long way to go, man. All right. As long as you stick around with me, brother, I'll go with you anywhere. I will follow you into the gates of hell. It's really not wonderful. That's one thing I think we can say definitely.

All right, that was speaking of emotional roller coasters. Oh, my God, I'm a dumb guitar with a psychedelic rock and roll guitar with a new age music. Mom, I want a vape. Machine that flashes doing hardcore rock and roll. I mean, Jesus Christ. Dave, what did you play? I forget.

I forget too. Dave's on contact. Was it Allos? Put it on your sunburn. Jeez, get out of here. But are we ready to end this thing? I've been ready. That's all you've been wanting

since you walked in that door? Past 11. Yeah, it's getting late. It's 11.15 in the nighttime. Well, Joe B. We're going to call the aquarium or something. Why don't...

Go to Joe. You want me to go again? It's 11.15 at nighttime. Why don't we let you go just to end this out? It's late. I'm going to play. Key Oni.

Two words. Key. But not like a key in a lock. No, not like that. KI. KI, yeah, yeah. I knew that much. Okay.

And then Oni. Michael, for a journalist, I'm surprised you get a story wrong. You made it out of the forest alive. That's okay! You made it out of the forest alive? Yeah. And I would, too. I'm a survivalist.

I could trick my P for fun, brother. Of course I could get out alive. On Atlantic Rhythms. Yes. And we have played a Keone tape before because we made Keante jokes. Keante. Oh, really? Am I drinking them?

Oh, all right. Because it sounds just like that. Am I right? Or am I right? I like this label. I was on this label's band camp today. What? Atlantic Rhythms.

So was I. Holy shit. Like you were featured on it? No, no. I was just a- Full spread, front page, Atlantic Rhythms. Joe B. It was a front page story about how you dub those new tapes and they're all fucked up.

They're all shitty. Yeah. Front page. It're all shitty. Yeah. Front page. It's making headlines. That's a good story. Cassette culture rocked today. Good read. It's a long read, but it's a good one.

Dave Weigel wrote it. It's a deep dive. It's a deep... It's got a slideshow. It's got a slideshow. I'm like... Yeah. Done goofed.

I love the Atlantic rhythms. We played several things on this label before. Couldn't remember what we played before. But they always, again, with the abstract art, or maybe they just don't know how to do art, one or the other. Either way, you're nailing it. Either way, it's good.

Either way, it's good. So keep doing it. That's beautiful, this one with... What would that be? The blue would be called ostrich feather. Ostrich feather. And that tan would be like what? Grandma's taffy.

Grandma's taffy. Ew. Check it out. What do you think? No, I like it. It's very good. Very good and very nice. So I'm going to play that, Dave.

Let's go backwards, though. Or are you out? Oh, no. Mike's out. No, So I'm going to play that, Dave. Let's go backwards, though. Or are you out? Oh, no. Mike's out. No, I'm not out. He's not out. He always has more. Oh, yeah.

He's always got more. I always got something up my sleeve, my friend. Now you go. Another one. What's it? Something we got to record now? No, I got it. I got it, brother.

Don't worry about me. Mike has the next 10 shows recorded. Trust me. I got it all mapped out Or at least planned out I'm like a fucking serial killer I'll go Cop jokes

No We just talked about 9-12 And the feeling I felt And now you're like 9-14 Cop jokes I'm a cynical. I love 912. I love how the country came together and we all felt good.

It's a lizard. But I'm a cynical rascal at heart. So I see a cop joke, I jump right on it. All right. I mean. In blue line, man. I respect our boys in blue. Do you see the back of my car?

Let me take a seat. Let me think. How you hit that cop the other day. Support. Come on, man. No jokes. It's a hard job. What do you got, the blue line across the back?

I got the blue line across the back. The blue painter's tape. Blue painter's tape, yeah. Is that a thing? They put blue painter's tape? Yeah, that's what my dad did. Jesus Christ. Some people sprang for the vinyl sticker.

A lot of people say it's the least I can do, and that's literally... Is the vinyl sticker still just a blue line? Yeah. Is it real thin? It's a thin blue line, yeah. The thinner, the better. I like the red for the firefighters.

Theirs is thick, though, right? Yeah, yeah. Because they're hunky. Because they're better than cops. Do you ever get like a... They really save people's lives. They do. They are the real heroes, and cops are not heroes. But firemen are all heroes.

All firefighters. And the dog. And the dog at the station. The worst... Hold on, Dave. The worst dog at a fire station is better than the best nicest cop. Did you ever see that video of people saving... Firemen saving people from

a burning building, but in reverse? They're playing in reverse, so they're just taking kids up a ladder and throwing them in the window. Throwing them in the window. That's pretty good. Too scary. Actually, do you want to watch that

instead of playing these last few tapes? Oh. I'll judge this. My uncle's a cop, so you go ahead. Not liking it? This is a split and a collab with Law. What's on what's on? I don't get it.

All I know is very confusing. I'll walk you through it. All right. With Law Years on a label called Kilohertz, but it's like a pun because it's like a kilohertz, but it hurts you. Oh, my God. It's all puns. There's a few puns on here that I think

might be a little... They might get cancelled. NSFW? We'll talk about it while we play it. Now you've piqued my interest. This is... Dan Getty is his name. We've played a tape by Cop Jokes before. He shows up the final

Fridays. I think he's an Uber driver or something. Oh, really? Oh, alright. He shows up the final Fridays. I think he's an Uber driver or something. Oh, really? Oh, alright. But he also plays some drums and stuff like that. But this is just... Rock drums? Rock drums. He plays the rock and roll drums. The collab stuff, I detect

my musician's ear detects rock and roll drums on it. But his stuff's all fucking electronics. And that's what I'm gonna play. One of those tracks. All fucking electronics. Oh. And that's what I'm going to play. All right. One of those tracks. All fucking electronics. Fucking you, these freaks with their fucking pedals. And then Dave,

you want to end this shit? Sure. Sure. Three. I'm going to play this Fischerel tape. Fischerel? Fischerel? Fischerel?

I had one of those. Fischerel. Put a cream on it. Went right away. Fischerel? Oh, yeah, yeah. Nobody wants to tell you, but you still got that thing.

Remember we played those tapes on Outlines, A Whale Back, Groove? Yeah. This is another one of those. Oh, really? I like those. Is this a footwork one? Uh, no.

No, I don't know. Seems like you might be lying about that, Dave. Groove 7. That wasn't a very convincing no. Oh. Did a note just fall out that says, don't believe Dave, there's footwork on here? There was a footwork sticker in there.

The one we played was a comp, right? The one that I played? Same label? I don't know. I didn't remember you playing something on this. I just remember that I played a couple. No, I don't know. That's a tuna, bro!

Let's just play this. So, yeah, this is another one. Same wheelhouse. I wouldn't say it's footwork. I like the paper they use on this. I like it, too. I like't say it's footwork. I like the paper they use on this. I like it too. I like how they... Very fucking nice.

It looks like maybe like ballpoint pen scribbles, but with like really sharp outlines. Ballpoint pen scribbles. Yeah, the stencils. I love it. Everyone liked that scribble. Are you ready? At this point, I'm on 46. Everyone liked that description. Alright, you ready? This one is $11.46. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. To be continued... I'm sorry. Thank you. No! Thank you. I don't know. so so Thank you. I'm sorry. so

um Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and do that. Thank you. To be continued... Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and do that. oh I'm going to go ahead and do that. Thank you. I'm going to do it again. so One, two, three. Thank you. so I'm going to do it again. Thank you. so Thank you. so Thank you. Thank you.
