Tabs out. Gazette Podcast. Episode number 153. Everything is okay. Everything is normal. Doing everything just like you would. Joe is right next to me. He feels great. I'm Mike.

I'm Joe. I'm Dave. Dave, come on, man. What? Listen, no one's going to believe that you boys are here. I think we should come clean. I think we should let everyone know that I have forced you into self-quarantine.

And that neither of you were showing any symptoms whatsoever. But I just took one look at you guys and I said, just for my safety. You suck! Stay at home. Yeah. He got a virus. I'm tall, so the virus floats right where my nose is. Could you imagine...

So I gotta be really careful. Could you imagine if the virus got a hold of Dave, what it would morph into? As big and dumb as he is? Oh. Oh my God. Oh. You're not a doctor. Leave your opinions to yourself.

What have you boys been doing oh my god i've been just you know i've not been having any panic attacks um i've been breathing normally my poops have been normal no upset stomach uh no fear about the uncertainty of the world or what the new normal will be. I've been watching Hunters on Amazon Prime. Oh, nice. Okay. It's pretty good. I haven't seen that. You should check it out.

I've been cleaning. Oh, is that where they're hunting Nazis? Yeah. Okay. Al Pacino. Hoo-ah! Son of a woman! Maybe we should get into that. Maybe we should get into that. Maybe we should get into that after this is all over.

Yeah, yeah, when this is all over. I mean, how many are left? Why not? Two 80-year-old dudes or 90-year-old dudes in Brazil? I can take them. That's one of the skills I learned. I can. All right, so I guess you boys probably aren't going to play any tapes

unless did you want to hold a boombox up to your telephone or anything? alright so I guess you boys probably aren't going to play any tapes unless did you want to hold like a boombox up to your telephone or anything I wanted to pick one from your show oh you want to pick Joe okay go ahead pick a tape what do you want to play do you have a webcam in here you want to take the virtual tour no I was just

just thinking I was just thinking of one maybe you might have I don't know you don't even know huh know. You don't even know, huh? Jesus Christ. I don't even know. What a fucking start. You keep talking.

We're supposed to be lifting the nation's spirits here. Come on, Jimmy. Oh, before we get into that, let's talk about how not only can you not hear my sound clips, you guys. Dave, what happened to yours? You lost them all, right? They're gone. I lost like a decade of stuff yeah including all the soundboard stuff and like all of my digitized music kind of fucked up and i'm kind of only interested in the soundboard stuff wait how did that happen my external i fucked up my external hard drive. I build pretty good computers.

What'd you do to it? Dave, you don't have to complain about it. It's got worms all over it now. Yeah, it's kind of boring, but I fucked up. So, yeah, I lost a whole bunch of stuff. Did you build one? But... That sucks.

No, no, I just... I put something... I put a Windows file, like a Windows boot file on it, not realizing that if you do that, it's going to be for the thing I was going to try. Ah, you're so dumb. This is a bootleg. I've been saying it for years. I know.

This is a bootleg. You are dumb. You are. All day I've been putting all my, since I'm like off work now, for whoever knows how long, I've been putting like all my CDs back on there. And I've also decided to just go through all my tapes and find all the download codes and download all of the tapes and put those on my computer. And that's been fun.

That's been like a little, it's like a little treasure hunt. I take them down one at a time. And sometimes the download code comes out. Sometimes one doesn't. That's pretty good. Dave's already lost his mind. I've noticed some things about...

I've got new opinions on tapes now. Oh, let's hear it. New opinions. Yeah, new opinions on tapes. If you have a J card that has like 20 panels, don't put the download code all the way inside of that. Put it on the outside

so it's touching the back of the tape. I don't want to have to unfold your whole fucking thing to find the download code. And also don't make a bunch of other pieces of paper that are the size of download codes and put those in there and then not have a download code in there at all. That's really annoying. I don't know, man. None of it bothers me. Those are my new opinions. I don't know, man. None of it bothers me.

Those are my new opinions. We're getting real specific now. I'm loving after all these years that the flame is still there. You're still getting new opinions. Good for you. It's fun, though, when you get one. When you open it up and you get one. It's like getting a little diamond

or like an extra life or something. It's like the Chocolate Factory, like the golden ticket. Yeah, yeah. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you never seen that film? Oh, please. No. Joe B., you want to virtually pick a take now? I got plenty of time now, though.

Dave, you've always said I want to check out Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory And I said one day you will You said I never have the time I never have the time Now you do I got plenty of time I got nothing but time Hey read the book if you want

No don't go that far I'd rather not be socially distant From someone than read a book right now. Is there a graphic novel? Give me pictures. I need pictures. All right, let's get a tape going here. Let's lift everyone's spirits.

What are you going to do, Joe B? Wait, you guys don't want to talk about how crazy everything is? Oh, God, no, I really don't. Everyone's talking about it. Yeah. Yeah, but I feel like this was going to be the one time I didn't talk about it. You don't want to talk about how, like, when 2016 happened, it was, like, the craziest thing that ever happened,

and then this happened, and it's, like, 20 times crazier now? No. What happened in 2016? No. Well, well, JB, we,

we elected an orange potato. I believe those, I believe those are called yams, Dave. Is that what they're called? Sweet.

Sweet yams. I always called them orange potatoes. Is that why you guys laugh at me when I call it an orange potato? That's not why. Many reasons why we laugh at you. Okay.

But that's not one of them. Have you guys been washing your tapes? No, not yet. I put all mine in the dishwasher. You can put them there dishwasher safe. Except the poly cases you got to put on the top rack. I'm going to put... Oh, hell yeah. I got one.

I'm going to put it over there. I found one. I like how Dave's just as distant doing the podcast, whether he's here or home. What are you talking about? I just said like three things. No, no. I like how Dave's just as distant doing the podcast, whether he's here or home. What are you talking about? I just said, like, three things. No, it was a joke. I said, I'm hunting download codes.

I just found one. It was a joke because no one laughed at my joke. Well, it was because it wasn't funny. Yeah, sometimes they're bad. I love the power that I have right now that I know I can, like, I get to edit this whole thing. It doesn't, because Dave just throws them right up. And sometimes I can like I get to edit this whole thing it doesn't because Dave just throws them right up and sometimes I'm like I'd like that there was that gap before you guys laughed there was a little bit of a hesitation to your laughter and if we can see what the bonus episode I take

out all the hesitation to my love to my shit people are laughing at it right away yeah you'll dub in some laughs from jokes that you told earlier that we laughed at. That does laugh. He has a whole clips of all of us laughing. So we can just put that in. I was thinking I probably need to make a Dave and Joe soundboard for when you can't call in. And I can just play you guys. Oh,

when we can't even make calls anymore? Yeah. That's probably a good idea. Yeah. Yeah, you might as well do that. I might start my show. Here,

I'll give you a, I'll give you a couple of clips real quick. All right, ready? Yeah, go ahead. What tape are you playing? Oh,

that's an awesome tape. Hold on, can I, let me, I'm going to mute Joe because he's, that's an awesome tape. Hold on. I'm going to have to mute Joe because he's fucking these up. Joe, can you seriously shut your mouth right now? I'll shut up for a minute. All right, good. Dave, go. Give me a few.

Is there a Band-Aid on that? Are you playing something off the B-side, huh? Alright, that's all I got. That's all I can think of. Can you give me a few of your sound clips? That was all gold, Dave. I think you can work from those three. Real clean, let me get some sound clips.

I was actually, I said that earlier in the show. Really?

Yeah, so don't worry about it. We're double now. We're doubled up on the whole deal. Yeah, I actually have been saying that for quite some time. Man, I thought I was so original. No, no, but I know. I mean, Dave, if Dave was here, he'd probably be whispering it to me.

Joe's got a full sleeve all the way down his arm of that. Yeah, man. That's not... Yeah. But thanks for calling. All right. Take care. Later.

Ron from Washington State, I believe, he said, what do I have here? I'm going to throw in... You know what? I got a Sam Gascan tape here. That's right in front of me. And why not throw that in? Give me one reason not to do it.

Sam Gascan plays the OP-1. And that's him doing it right there if you had any doubts. I'm not sure how loud this should be. I'm not used to loud this should be I'm not used to being behind the boards here as I'm sure everyone will be able to figure out some gas can I believe what western Massachusetts I guess I can't.

I believe, what, Western Massachusetts guy? They're all weirdos up there. Something's going on up there. This is heck tapes from 2017. I'm not really sure if I should be talking during the tapes. caller you're on the air hey identify yourself right now this is ryan this is critical masses ryan oh my good hold on Oh my goodness. Hold on. As I live and breathe, Critical Mass is Ryan, the man who in my time... Let me mute this tape. In my time of need, you abandoned me. I did.

That's fine. No, you did not. Ryan, Critical Mass is Ryan, who, as we all know over the past few years, has been writing pretty much everything for Tabs Out. Everything. Let's just say everything. It's been all of it. Oh, yeah. Pretty much. This is the first time I've ever heard your voice, though. I know. And you know what's funny? This is also the first time I've ever heard your voice.

You know, you can't hear my sound clips, but I played a really good one right there because I'm quick on the draw with those kind of things. And I actually know that you heard my voice because I know you're a fan. And I know you listen every week or however often these even happen anymore. That's right. Yeah, that's me. So, Ryan, what's going on? You know, not much. I'm not even listening to music right now. This is terrible. I'm doing work.

Yeah. Oh, well, you're still working then? Well, you mean in general? I don't know why I asked you that question. That's none of my business. That's absolutely none of my business. Are you kidding me? That's way out of my wheelhouse.

There's no virus can keep me down. So what have you been up to? Oh my gosh. Well, I mean, I have an eight-year-old son, so we've been hanging out a lot. He doesn't have school. I've been playing a lot of Mario Kart, you know. That sounds cool, man. It is. Yeah, it's pretty great. What are you doing?

I kicked my parents out of my house. You kicked your parents out of your house? Were they not paying their rent? They were visiting for spring break, and, you know, they were here. We were just like, you know what? I think it's just time for you to go home. The party's over. the party's over the party's over the party's over we gotta clean get out no there's no don't worry man there's nothing wrong with that

I believe, I will say, I don't think I have the fire tools.

Orange milk, I've discussed this before, are very right now, obviously, nobody sent me anything because I am deathly horrified. I am definitely scared of packages. I will not touch them. Punch smart.

The mailman walks up to me them. Punch smart. The mailman walks up to me and I threaten to punch the mailman. I would never do that. That's a joke. Well, no. I mean, those are there on the front lines right now. They are, yeah. First responders, definitely. The postal workers. And I mean that with all

sincerity. That's not a joke, yeah. But Orange Milk, I've had some issues with them not sending me releases before. But I believe I have the Yugoslavia tape. I think I do.

I just don't know where. I know I can see it now, not with the Orange Milk stuff. Actually, hold on. I think I see it. Alright. We've been playing a game, Ryan. It's to see how long it takes me to find a tape. I'm going to go. All right. We've been playing a game, Ryan. It's to see how long it takes me to find a tape. I'm going to go find this Yggdrasil tape.

Ready? You going to time me? Go. Oh, yeah. I'm ready. Go. Do I have to do it out loud? Five. Six. I got it. I got it. Awesome.

I got it. I got it. Awesome. I got it. I think this is it. What's the tape called? It's impossible to read on the spine. It's like sire psoriasis. Not psoriasis. It's something like that, but a plant. Yeah, that's it. It's a plant.

I think we actually played this on like a bonus episode before I don't know let's just let's play some more then we probably did by the way Tristan lives about he lives about

but because it was, it was about time that I think we actually spoke. I know. And I, and I, and now I know now's not the best time, but, um,

I'm going to have to let you go from tabs out and, uh, I'm going to have to drop you. I'm sorry, buddy. That's okay. We're making cuts around here. I understand. It has been. All right, let me let you go. All right. Bye, Mike.

but used to write them all and he calls amazing what a thrilling time we're having And he called? Amazing. What a thrilling time we're having. At least I know I'm sitting here. I'm playing these tapes. If middle-aged white men stop podcasting,

then the virus truly will have won. It'll truly have destroyed everything that our culture stands for. So I have to keep doing this. I don't want to do this. I'd rather be handling more scholarly pursuits. I wonder how you even figure out how to make this music. Like you get an idea one night, you're like, what if it went like... How do you even figure it out?

And then once you figure it out, how do you make it? Oh, the age-old questions. My mic wasn't on. What do you know? Dave is good for something. Why don't I press play? On this Andrew Kirshner tape. Andrew Kirshner is his name. Andrew Kirshner. Andrew Kirshner. The type is so goddamn small on this I can't see a thing. Oh, we're getting a call. Hello, caller, you're on the air.

that very few know of. Ah. Ah, yes, and we... I should really do my research next time. You should really do your research, pal, if you're going to call up, all right? My bad, my bad.

This is what happens when, like, Grant texts me and I'm driving and I have to call. Oh my god, are you driving right now? Don't talk right now. I'm going to let you go and let you drive. I mean, it's coming through my speakers, but, you know, it's all good. Alright, well, thanks for calling. No worries, man. Thanks a lot. Later.

I wonder how many other the Mesteller brothers are going to call up. Nemes gets back to this. Oh, jeez. What am I saying here? Let's get back to this Andrew Kirshner tape with the type that's so small. Severed by the thought of a thread.

And there's a gentleman on the cover. The gentleman seems very distressed. And he's sitting down in a chair and he's got his hands on his head. I don't know if you can do that anymore. I know definitely the face is out. We're not doing the face anymore. I don't know if you can put your hands on your own head.

There was a time in life where you put your hands anywhere on your body you wanted to. In his butt. The face is out today. Who knows? Maybe the tush is out next. Oh, we're getting a call. Hold on. This is another Miss Deller. I'm losing my mind.

Hello? Hello? Hello? You're on Tabs Out. Who's calling, please? This is Matthew McPherson calling from Escondido, California. I'm sorry, could you say that one more time? Because I couldn't hear you.

I don't know. Matthew McPherson calling from Escondido, California. Oh, Matthew, how are you tonight? Or I guess what time is it there? It's like 5 o'clock there. It's about 6 or 7. It's sunny. It's not too bad.

I've got a cocktail in hand. Oh, what are you drinking? A chartreuse-based cocktail with gin and grapefruit. Well, look at you. You're really doing things up, aren't you? For right now, we're accepting it as is. Probably will smoke a bowl later. Yeah, just relax a little bit.

Try to relax. We're staying inside, right? We are staying inside, absolutely. We are staying inside. I want all of my Tabs Out fans to know that normally we're an outside people. Stay indoors. We're trying to stay indoors. If you have a little place you can walk around with your Walkman or whatever you use to listen to your tapes, do it.

I have something I do want to briefly talk about. Okay. Then you called the right place. I'm listening. Excellent news. It's tape-related news. It's unfortunate. It's not bad.

It's just unfortunate. Hold on. You're tape-related news. It's unfortunate. It's not bad. It's just unfortunate. Hold on. You're calling with bad news? Well, I'm calling with news, so to speak. All right. Let's hear it. So I've been buying some tapes. You know, on band camp yesterday was a big day, supporting the team.

Specifically, Reserve Matinee, they made the band camp, they made our master's piece with the steel workers thrown. All right, all right. And got the tape. They still, I think, got probably five or six left. But unfortunately, the person said, we have a stay-at-home order, just like the state of California, and they will not be sending the tape out until that order is lifted.

That's fair. I don't know of any other. I think it's completely fair. I'm just making sure that people know that tape manufacturers might not be sending out tapes. That's true, yeah. But, you know, let's give the whole system a break. Let's shut it all down. Let's shut it all down. Let's shut it all down.

Let's switch to digital. Let's get our own tapes. We're done. I don't even think we switched to digital. I just think we just think about the music for a while. We just think about music. We don't even listen to it. And you just pick an artist and PayPal them

and then think about their music that day. What happened? You know what? What happened to the days when we would just pick an artist, PayPal them a few bucks, and then think about their music that day. What happened? You know what? What happened to the days when we would just pick an artist, PayPal them a few bucks, and then think about their music? I still do that all the time. I do it.

I do it all the time. I'm all the time doing this to DIY bands, thinking about their music and then saying, here's $1.75. And they're like, why? And I said,

I'm just going to think about one song twice. That's it. Not even twice. Depending on the rates you're using. I might not get through the whole song. Yeah. I completely get that. It might be an 11 minute track. I might fall asleep. I do this every night

when I think about it. I'm up all night. That's a different story. Is there anything you want me to play? What tape do you want me to play? What tape? You got anything from Astral Spirits? I have anything from Astral Spirits. What do you want? Let's get some Patrick Serice on, Commissary Trio. Let me see if I can find that, okay? I'm going to need you to begin a countdown, and I'm going to look for something with Astral Spirits, alright?

Alright, what kind of countdown? Not a countdown, not a countdown. A count-up, a timer, a stopwatch. All right, you got one. Go. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. All right, I'm back. I'm back. I'm back.

I just grabbed the first one that said trio. I got the Barker trio. Yeah, that's good enough. That'll do it. I'm telling you, it said trio in the title. You got to believe me. I believe in trios. Three is a good number.

Three is a good number. All right, I'm going to put this on. Let me let you go. Thanks so much for calling. Godspeed. Thank you for doing the work. Love the site. Bye. Hello, caller. You're on the air. Oh, hello. How are you? Good.

Maybe I'm good. Why? Who is this? This is Evan. Evan what? Is it Evan Maceller? It is indeed. I was joking, but Jesus Christ, another one of you is calling? Yeah, there's just too many of us. How many of you fuckers are there?

There's at least seven. Oh, Jesus Christ. Where are you calling from? I'm calling from Tennessee. Do you also not know anything about Tabs Out? No, I know something. I follow it on Facebook. Well, trick question, tough guy.

We're not on Facebook anymore. I should hang up on you right now, you piece of shit. You piece of fucking shit. You call me, you call me, and piece of shit. You piece of fucking shit. You call me. You call me and you say that you know what's going on because you follow us on Facebook. My friend. My pal. You're not on Facebook.

Goodbye. And I'm going to hang up on you. And I did that. Oof, maroon. Who are these maroons? This is just jazz going on right now, if anyone's tuning in. If anyone's just tuning in to the middle of the show, we're playing jazz here. Barker Trio, avert your eye.

But the eye is the letter I. It's not like your eye. It's the letter I. Astral Spirits. And they are blowing horns. Theyral Spirits. They are blowing horns. They're hitting the drums. Everything you're supposed to do while you make jazz. Andrew Barker playing the drums, the synthesizer, and the electronics.

Well, who were the other two people? Barker, Foster, and Dahl. Tim Dahl and Michael Foster. That was a roundabout way to tell you the name of the trio, but we got there. We're all on a very interesting journey together right now, and we're going to get there. I do believe that people should stop sending cassettes for the time being. I think we need to give the whole system a little bit of a breather.

I know you got these tapes and you wanted to send them to me so bad. You said, you got to give them to my hands. But I'm not touching them anyway. I put every package that comes now, I put into a special bag. And that bag goes into another bag, but that bag's not special at all. I don't care what happens to that bag.

And then it all goes into a box I throw it in the basement whoo if I wonder what I'm gonna do with all these tapes. I gotta wash every single one of them. oh right about now I'm so lonely. I'd actually prefer Miss Stellar called me. I don't know if there are any left though. Hi Mike, it's Scott Schultz. Scott Schultz, as I live and breathe. Very nice. Look at this.

A call from another huge Tabs Out contributor. Ryan Masteller called a little bit ago. Oh, cool. Very cool. And his entire fucking family decided they were going to call after that. I'm getting calls from cousins of his. In-laws are calling me up. I'm just like, Jesus Christ. None of them know what they're calling.

None of them know what Tabs Out is. Well, Scott, it's excellent to hear. You're another person who I don't think... I have heard your voice before because of... I mean, do you want to plug your podcast? Right. Well, you know, I haven't been doing much with it lately. So I was doing a words on sounds podcast for, gosh, about four years or so. And then I started a job as a music librarian for Lincoln City Libraries last June. And so I'm kind of doing, I'm doing a radio show for them. It's also a podcast.

People are looking on Mixcloud. If you search for Poly Music Library, it's P-O-L-L-E-Y. I'm doing a half-hour show every week for that. It's a variety thing for a general audience, but I have been doing some shows that have some experimental elements. Scott, I said you could plug your podcast.

I didn't say you were taking over mine. Jesus fucking Christ. Come on now, Scott. It's okay, because a lot of that dropped out anyway, so it's fine. I won't charge you anything. How are things? Are you all socially isolated?

We are pretty fucking socially isolated, yes. Right on. I do get outside outside but then you see someone and you immediately it's it's an agreed upon thing that you whether both of you were going to go that way only one of you is going that way right now yeah the other one the other one's going to go is going to wait six feet and then go yep yeah that's happening here too uh nebraska's pretty everything's shut down um it's not you know i think like the big cities i guess are officially shut down now right where you pretty much are not supposed to go anywhere um it's more than four but pretty much no people doing anything so yeah you staying you staying all right i'll hold up? Yeah. So far, so good. Got a bunch of tapes in the mail from Orb today,

so I'll be checking those out. Let me ask you a question, Scott. Are you touching the packages that come in? Oh, gosh, that's a good question. I am. I have not. I'm going to be straight up. I haven't been touching them.

I'm going to let it... Are you just leaving them aside for, like, two weeks then or i think three days i think he can live on surfaces like that for three days for papers that makes sense okay yeah so i'm backing off you know you do you do what you gotta do but you know what i mean that's fair that's fair yeah i've been he got a virus wait so but you know they've been in the mail for three days but then again i guess the mailman has touched them too, right? Probably coughed all over them. Yeah, he wasn't.

They're not being socially distant from your tapes. Not at all. Not in the least. That's right. And I'm sorry. Remind me, what did you say? What tapes are they? Oh, yeah.

Well, I was just thinking, yeah, I need to send you the new Timble stuff too. So I finally got the mask going. Oh, yes, Timble tapes. I have some set aside for you. Should we play something off of Timble? Should I grab something off of the label? If you want, yeah. Let's see, as far as the new stuff, there's an Adderall Canyon Lee,

and there's a David Moskovich, so you might have some. Well, I don't know if we've done an Ad Cam before. The very first tape on Timble was David Moskovich, so you might have some... Well, I don't know if we've done an ad cam before, but the very first tape on Timbal was David Moskovich, so the newest tape, the highest-numbered one, and then he batches is also Moskovich, so it'll be pretty fun, but that'll be on the way here shortly. Jeez, now you're plugging the label?

That's right. You're just taking over the airwaves. Totally. I'm scanning my shelves here, looking for the Timbal tape. I knew where they were a week ago. Totally. I'm scanning my shelves here looking for the Timbiltay. I knew where they were a week ago. I swear I knew. But this is kind of embarrassing. I can't find them.

Oh, I spotted them. I spotted them. There they are right there. It took me a little bit, but I see them. Is there anything specific I should grab oh gosh um i should dealer's choice i could walk over i could walk over eyes closed and grab one and see what it is okay if it's probably going to be mine though it's probably gonna be the weather tape

oh sure i'm kidding i'm joking i'm joking no no it's great for sure. You know, I have a poster in my office at work of that album cover too. So, yeah, I really dig that. Scott, I heard you talking, but I was across the room with my headphones off. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was saying I really like the artwork on that one too. That was one of the coolest artworks.

Oh, I just had a gunshot in my neighborhood or something. That's fun. It's pretty dangerous in Nebraska. I don't know if you've ever been here before. I never have. Lots of us. No. I've always been a little too afraid.

Gunfire. It's crazy. You can't hear what i just put on unfortunately that's true do you want to do you want to guess what it is um i'm gonna guess boron it is not is the peter chris tape oh cool right on came out, what number was it? Oh, this was the second release on Timble, huh? Yeah, that was from the very first batch, which was like five years ago,

coming up on April 1st, so... An oldie but a goodie. Is, uh, you still got the tiny little Hammers artwork going on with it all? Uh-huh, I sure do, yep. Very good, very good. Does a very good job. They're looking tight.

Though I noticed with your new releases, because they're always black and white, and I noticed there's a full color one in the new batch. Do you care to explain? Do you want to address this? There is. Yeah, that image was just so striking.

It made me so angry. Yeah, and I learned something about this, too. I didn't realize this, but when people get that, if you look really closely at the image, like take the J card out, unfold the whole thing so you can see the whole front, the happy-looking 70s dude on the cover is like weed-whacking his brick sidewalk, right?

And there's, like, I guess that's a thing that people actually do, and I didn't know that. Wait, what do you mean? Taken by the, well, so you can have grass grow up, like, in the, it looks like there's mortar on that sidewalk, but maybe there's not. Like, when people just, like, lay a brick sidewalk, whatever, like, weeds can come up,

like, between the bricks. And some people apparently take a weed whacker and, like, knock them back down so that's what that person is doing on the cover so um it's kind of a public service so people know that they can pull out their weed whacker and not have to get down on their hands and knees okay good i've been getting down on my hands and knees and doing it so i'll weed whack it that's right it's a lot easier i gotta say though you've been doing all these tapes, and they all had the same theme. If you find this picture, just start a new label.

Put it out on a new label. Well, the inside... Well, I'll send them to you so you can see them. I would hope you would send them to me. I would hope so. Yeah, definitely, definitely. Yeah, so the inside format still looks exactly the same. But yeah, the color cover, that was kind of weird too. It was hard to put in the order because the printer that I usually go with was like, what is this?

Yeah, it was kind of weird. Even the printer knew, even they knew something was off. What's that? Even they knew something was off. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. And it's been a while too, so they were kind of like, well, dude, do it but we're still doing some things so what's it like a small local print shop yeah a local place called eagle um now you're plugging them now you're plugging them jesus christ scott scott at some point at some point i have to worry about them though

at some point i have to put the hammer down on you. Excuse me. At some point. Let me speak. At some point, I need to. They were named after a. Excuse me. I'm speaking. At some point, I have to put the hammer down.

You have to stop plugging. Why don't you say enough about all that? Say a little bit about me. Well, you know, a funny story about this place. They were named after the parking garage that they were located in. I don't like how it first floor of this parking garage has a big eagle on top of it. But they moved, so

they probably should have changed their name too. But they didn't. I guess now they're near a barbecue place. Maybe they should be like Barbecue Printing? I don't know. That's not a very good name though, is it? Why is that funny? You said that was a funny story?

I don't think... Scott, I hate to break it to you. I don't know. That's not a very good name, though, is it? Why is that funny? You said that was a funny story? I don't think... Scott, I hate to break it to you. I don't think a single listener is going to laugh at that story. You're right. Once it actually rolled out, it was funny. Maybe one of the dumber Mostello brothers might have thought it was funny. Oh, my goodness. I'll try harder.

Well, Scotty boy boy do you have anything any closing remarks any advice in these uncertain times for the tape specific place yeah pull some tapes out and I think this is a great time

to catch up on the last 10 years of tapes you know pull things out and remember what we've done, and we can keep going here in a few months, hopefully. That's excellent advice. All right, Scott, let me let you go, and we'll jam this Peter Criss tape a little bit. Cool.

Bye, buddy. Have a good one. You too. Bye. Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 I'm going to fade this out. I'm going to fade this out. I'm gonna fade this out right as that track ended. That could have been a little bit quicker, though. And stopped it right then, but I wasn't. Just a little bit off.

Getting a little rusty. Well, that was very nice of Scott Schultz to call. I would have liked some of these calls to maybe pay a little bit more tribute to me as I'm like I'm providing all this content.

You know, call up. Thank you, Mike. Thank you. What would we do if you weren't providing this content? How would we know tapes still existed? How would we even if you weren't providing this content? How would we know tapes still existed? How would we even know tapes were the format anymore? We'd think it was gone if it wasn't for you, is what they would say.

It's what they should say. Instead, they're plugging their own stuff. They're talking something about Eagle Print Shop in Nebraska. How relatable do you think that is, talking about a Print Shop in Nebraska? How relatable do you think that is, talking about a print shop in Nebraska? How many people, honestly, how many people do you think want to hear that? Meanwhile, I got funny sound clips like this one. It's a big bunny.

It's a big bunny. That's what people want. You know what tape I have to put on I have to I'm gonna press play on this one let's simmer there in the background Goodwill Smith tape Goodwill Smith Goodwill Smith

Goodwill Smith Aquarium Guru shares the secret tactic by Goodwill Smith on baked tapes. Sessions recorded live. No overdubs. Oh, thank God. Thank God there were no overdubs, Goodwill

Smith. Thank God. I would have actually returned that. I would have smashed this tape if I caught a whiff of an overdub. You fucking kidding me? You trying to overdub? Hold on. You fucking kidding me? You trying to overdub me? I take my material live. You hear me? No overdubs you should see what happened to the last last guy gave me a tape said live no overdubs on it i'm listening to it and i this is one part just really stuck out and i said what was that i rewound it listening to it again what that? And then all of a sudden,

it hit me. It was a motherfucking overdub. This motherfucker overdubbed. I said I'll never let it happen to me again. Live no overdubs at Randall

121-2013. And mixed by Doug Kaplan. Goodwill Smith is Max Allison, Natalie Shami, Doug Kaplan. Photo by Mary Wiseman. Layout by Max Kaplan. Oh, excuse me, Max Allison. Shit, I'm fucking, I gotta overdub that. Fix that.

I think this came out on bake tapes in like what? 2014, 2015? Something like that. I'm not even going to look. I'm turning it up a little bit here. Get a little bit more of the mix. This might be a good one to go out on. I'm so mad at all you for not calling me.

I'm guessing what happened was my theory, my working theory that I have right now is that so many people were calling and lines were jammed. That they were like the system was just overwhelmed. We gotta flatten the curve next time. Next episode we gotta flatten

the curve with all these calls. I can't have all of you calling at once, fucking up the system. Actually, I'm feeling my phone. It's real hot. It's real hot, so I think it's backed up with calls. I can't have that. This is a flip phone. I can't overwhelm it. Alright, well let's take this out with this good Will Smith tape. This weird fucking time.

I guess this is a Tabs Out episode. I suppose. I mean... What do we really know about anything anymore? But if ever there were good vibes, those vibes came from Goodwill Smith, from Big Tapes. So everybody out there, you just keep jamming,

you just keep plugging away, you're plugging away at this synthesizer. We're not going to put out any tapes now. No one's going to do any tapes now. We're going to wait and we're going to do them later. I think we can all agree on that. Now's not the time. We're going to take a break.

I can't imagine how many fucking awful tapes are going to rush through in like July. I hope it's July. But for right now, you just, sickos go in your basements with your little mixers, your Behringers, and plug away if you want to. And if you don't want to, that's fine too. You might just want to sit. Sometimes you need to sit and breathe. And I think it's

totally cool to just sit and breathe. You don't have to be fucking doing you don't have to do anything. Alright. Oh, you're welcome for doing this, by the way. You're welcome for me doing this. so so

so so so so so so Thank you. ¶¶ so so Thank you.
