We have some guests. This is a segment called What's in My Bag. What's in My Bag. This is a segment. Let's do our segment. We always start off with the segment where Joby does. Who are you? I'm Mike.

I'm Joe. I'm Jamie. I'm sorry. That's okay. I'm sorry. Jamie. Do you feel like I'm rushing into this? No, no, no, no, baby.

No, I can slow down. We can hang out for a little bit. Is this a dictionary? Slow. Joe B brought a dictionary. They don't make those anymore, Jamie. No, I just... I can rip one of those in half, by the way. Oh, you can?

I was just like everyone. I was just like everyone to know that. Do it. No, it's a very busy episode. We have some guests. We have several guests coming up several several several there's a line outside a couple there's a line around the block of assholes waiting to get in here but joe b i see you have an enormous what is this you brought some

sort of of an enormous box enormous box do you want to i don't even know what you want to do. Do you want to go right into it? So this is from a project called Somber Arcane. You're going to go right into this, huh? You would just ask me what I got. But now I'm too scared. Okay, I can put it down. What a tease. Pick it back up again.

Oh, yeah, because it's big. Is it haunted? Realm song. This looks super haunted. So, Jamie, pull up a picture of Forgotten Realms Dungeons and Dragons. Now, hold on. Hold on. Wait one fucking...

Wait, you can do that too? No, I can't do it. Okay. Jamie has two laptops, so I figured... He comes prepared. This is a cassette podcast. What is this? Are there even tapes in there?

Yeah. No way. I don't even believe that. How many? Like 20? There must be 15 cassettes in there. Let's see here. What are we looking for?

Well, I'm looking. It's kind of like a boot. Not a bootleg. This is the Forgotten Realms logo. See what the band did? He is pointing at this box. The box is basically like if you bought a board game, a real board game. It would come in this box.

Wow. So this is like, how big do you think this box is? It's huge. 9 by 12? Hold it up. Hold it up. That box is... That box is 9 by 11 by 2.

9 by 11 by two nine by eleven by two easily so it's kind of meant to look like dungeons and dragons like adventure box that you did you get this at dungeon fest i did get this at northeast dungeon we went to a scary dungeon very scary yeah very scary so you open it up it comes with a poster oh wow look at that comes with a candle if you want to light the candle so who's the artist for this somber arcane somber arcane it comes with a in a little oh wow look that is a candle called musty tome the candle comes in a little tin i don't know if you like to smell stuff jeremy i have not seen the cassette yet i have not seen the cassette yet well here smell the candle i'll smell the candle i will do musty tome no that wow yeah. Oh, Sombre Arcane.

Yeah, this is kind of like if you went to like a... If you went to like a... Sombre. Sombre. If you went to like a Five Below, you'd get that candle. Yeah. Plastitone with Five Below. Now, this is not on Discogs yet, as far as I can see. Really?

Yeah. It's going to be a bitch to put it on there, I'll tell you that. Oh my gosh. You better carve out an entire... I guess the label's called Lamp Dagger? Is that a... That's a good name. I like that. So you got a sticker there. A sticker. A couple stickers. Here's the tape.

Finally. Realm Song. Is there only one tape? There's only one tape in this documentary. Jesus Christ. But it also comes with... Trying to figure out the percentage of... Jesus. And what's this? So it comes with two booklets. One is like an adventure for Dungeons & Dragons.

With rooms and all kinds of stuff. But then, so the two people in the band, which are on the back cover. There's two people in this band, right? Wow. Oh, this is the front cover, Jamie. You said wow, but you're... I'm just easily impressed you are awake one guy's like a wizard and one guy's like i don't know some sort of fighter he's got a sword and a shield he's so the second booklet is how to introduce the them as the band as characters into your dungeon your Dungeons & Dragons game. Wow.

Yeah. I mean, have we reached the logical conclusion of Dungeon Synth? Is this it? Yes. I'm so confused by this point. I'm so confused by it. It's intimidating, to be perfectly honest. Naganaa the Bard. There he is.

Yeah, that's him. And there's all his stats. You know, he has a chainmail plus four. He has 84 hit points. Pretty good. Let me see the actual tape. Strength 18. I feel like I need to act like I care about the tape itself.

Wow, the tape actually does look good. So, pro-dub. The tape looks good. This is what I enjoy very much about people in this Dungeon Sense scene. Tryhards. Well, I think a lot of them are nerdy. what I enjoy very much about people in this Dungeon Sense scene is, well, I think a lot of them are nerdy. You think that. And they probably work pretty good

jobs. So they got money to blow on stupid packaging. They're all day, they're just like, writing code. This is on Discogs. Jamie, you should get into Dungeon Sense You'd be a perfect candidate

You'd be a perfect candidate for Dungeon Sense Nerd Weird programming job We heard about the go-karting You're just blowing money Axe thrower Gold ring Perfect

I'm playing this tape It comes with all this extra stuff have you played like have you done have i gone through the adventure yet no no not yet i flipped through it you know i just read it a little bit you just flip through it okay jesus christ now am i allowed to ask how much uh how much coin you put down for something like this i think i'm not gonna if it's not the general thing to do i'm not gonna do it i won't even ask i think it was 40 40 yeah that's pretty good it's not the generally thing to do, I'm not gonna do it. I won't even ask. I think it was $40. $40?

Yeah. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. I don't think that's that bad. For a candle? Have you tried to buy a candle right now? Just the candle? Like I said, I think I can get that same candle

five below. For five bucks? For five bucks, but then I gotta make the label. Right. That's six. Then I got... Then what else is in there?

And how much is the tape? The tape itself? Okay, let's say another... Let's say another eight. The poster. It's just 11 by 14 pieces of paper. I think the money's going to this box.

This goddamn box. All the money's in the box. I feel like maybe they should have thrown another tape in there. Two tapes would have been nice. Or like a long box or something. Hold on. Let me give you...

Let me real quick. Just real quick. Let me give you my reaction if there was two tapes in here. Okay. First, hold on. I'm going to open it again. Okay. Yeah.

So it's a box. Okay. Yeah. It's about nine by 12. Let me open it up inside. Whoa. There's two booklets. Okay.

And two tapes. Whoa. Wow. wow. And how much was it? $40. Wow, perfect amount of money. I do like at the bottom of the box. Oh, they got a little... Okay, it's foam.

Foam thing they cut out. It's beautiful. They did a great job. Try hard. Do you know how many of these were made? Is it numbered? We're too busy. we've been talking about this for too long oh 21 limited edition box releases oh so there's 50 of them in general but only 21 of them come in this box oh wow so you're very lucky very lucky man well i have the money to spend yeah all right no problem over here i'm excited to get to get into that i'll throw away 40 right now i think you did when you bought that joke all right jamie what do you got all right so um does anybody remember the very end of last episode

from a month ago of law i know the controversy of last so we listen to a tape from Russia Russia I'm okay pro-russia tape person Jamie all right here's what I got now you're front-loading I have a tape from Ukraine Ukraine okay yeah little clap back supposedly supposedly this is a project called Eugene the oceanographer what do you mean supposedly well the band camp says they're from antarctica which that can't be right okay one of these yeah one of these goofballs but the discog says ukraine and the tape is blue and yellow so you have one of those stickers on your car yeah you do no no i don't have any stickers on my car, especially not Mike's sticker, which supposedly disintegrates.

Hey, easy, easy. People are still paying me for those. I don't know much about this project. I will say it sounds like it could have been something right off of Orange Milk or Hasu Mountain or one of those labels. You got a little footwork, a little vapor-y type stuff,

a little bit of IDM and collage-y sounds. So it sounds like that, but it doesn't get covered on Bandcamp Daily or anything? No, this flew under the radar. It comes in this like, what do you call that, like a satchel? A satchel? Oh, a satchel. Yeah, a little bag. We just called it a little bag. Next to Joe B's box, you look like a little

bitch, Jamie, with a satchel. I mean... What is that? How much look like a little bitch, Jamie, with this satchel. What is that? How much did you pay for this, Jamie? I bet you paid 10 for this. No, that's pretty cool. It's cool. Let me see it.

This is nice. What is this? It's got a little square adhered to the front of your satchel. So the label's called Biloxata. That might be the logo for the label. What, a little bag? A little black square. Oh, a little black square.

This craft paper. There's a lot of shit in here. What is all this? There's a booklet. It's one of those labels. Why is he giving middle finger in the middle picture? In Ukraine, that means something different. I will tell you that the album artwork, actually the little, the colored printout. The little painting?

Yeah, that's the actual album cover, which I think is very cool. It looks like kind of an, what's that called? Like a surrealist Salvador Dali type thing. Super cool. Super cool packaging. Super cool music. Nice. Way to go.

The maze. Eugene the Oceanographer. Eugene the packaging. Super cool music. Nice. Way to go. The maze. Eugene the oceanographer. Eugene the oceanographer. Very nice. Well, I don't have any tapes that come in any kind of satchels or boxes. Regular shell. All mine are just regular Noroku cases.

Literally regular Noroku cases. What should I do? Should I just skip? Grow up. Should I just skip? Grow up. Should I just grow up? Okay, well, I'm going to play two tapes because I'm the best around. Joe B., I went with you. You know what? I went with you to a little thing in, where was it?

Worcester? Worcester. Worcester, Massachusetts. The Dungeon Scent. The Scary Dungeon Scent. Yeah, it was very scary. And I also got a tape by Alehoof. Alehoof. Alehoof. Alehoof.

It's a self-titled, self-release tape by this artist from Vermont who performed, who played a little dungeon synthesizer music. Some pretty tight cover art here. That was done by, I'm going to look it up here, some, I think a Vermont tattoo artist. Oh, yeah? Yeah. If you were doing that tattoo on somebody, what size needle are you using?

I might use, I don't know. There's a lot of stuff going on. I might use a type 5. Type 5. Hinterlandtattoo.com. And also, I got another tape here. And I'm looking for a tab on my computer that I already had open. Here it is.

Because I got a tape also by Deerhoof. Oh, okay. Because there's some hoofs in this house Because there's some hoofs in this house. There's some hoofs in this house. There's some hoofs in this house. There's some hoofs in this house. I said certified freak. Seven days a week.

Wet ass P-word. Make that pull out game weak. So I'm going to play the new Deerhoof Miracle Level tape on Joyful Noise. You know Deerhoof has been around for 31 years? I was going to say, that sounds like somebody I should know. You got Deerhunter, you got Deerhoof. Are neither of you assholes familiar with Deerhoof?

I know the band name, but I've never seen it. Yeah, same thing. Really? Yeah. There's too much music. I remember when I was just a little boy When I was just an adorable little boy And I had my I would wear little shorts

With my shirt tucked in With the peewee? Don't talk about that haircut I had my school books with the leather strap Pulled them together And I had the shoes with the penny inside them And I was a very good boy Mamma mia

And I got a compilation double CD penny inside them. And I was a very good boy. Mamma mia. And I got a compilation double CD for Christmas called A Slice of Lemon. I don't know if anyone knows. It was a Lookout Records Kill Rockstars thing. Because I was a big pop punker. I know you were. Trust me. My hair was not traditional colors. Green, purple.

Very different colors. But they were, Deerhoof was was on that they had a track on that i remember them and men's recovery project were on that oh really it was my it was probably the first time as a little lad an adorable little lad hearing stuff and just gone and uh yeah but they've been around a very weird back... Where are they from? Oakland?

Where are they from? Why are you going to put me on the spot like this? San Francisco. San Francisco. Let me look it up. No, that sounds right. The Bay Area.

The Bay Area. They're from the Bay Area. There's some weird backstory. It started off as a solo project, like a bass harmonica solo project for like a week. I guess somebody figured out after a week that wasn't going to work out yeah but this is the new one we do well they're about seven days not very much it's full of musical instruments but

okay yeah let's get into i'm going to play just something probably from the beginning of maybe the b-side but he's not because that's where I already got him queued up. No. Not because of that, just because they slap. That's where they slap. So there's some hooves in this house. Wake me up! I said certified freak.

Seven days a week. Wet ass P-word. Make that pullout game weak. © transcript Emily Beynon Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm not going to lie. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. I'm sorry. Thank you.

can you guys hear me yeah we can thanks cool thanks for joining us yeah man thanks for having me how you doing this morning uh i'm all right already crushing some beers you know oh all right that's what i thought that was a beer cool. Very cool getting in the mood. What time is it? It's 11, but usually. That's about right. Yeah, you know. Usually about this time I go to the pub and watch some soccer matches, you know, so.

Is that a beer koozie with Old English on it? It is. It's actually one of our koozies. All right. Oh, a little product placement there. Yeah, you know. Nice. So you guys are rolling thick with the merch then, huh?

We're trying the best we can. What is with Dungeon Synth people love? I call them try-hards. Nicholas, I call them try-hards. What's up with... Tell us a little bit about where gnome records uh how long have you been doing it i know it's not just you it's it's you and your partner selena correct uh yes it's a it me uh selena and myself we've been running it actually since uh late 2020 uh just kind of became out of like the boredom of you know covid shutdown and everything else you

know what i mean saying then just kind of uh my mania and stuff like that so i was kind of like what can i do with all this useless energy that's nice you know and um we got a tape here that you i think this is kind of fresh where do i I hold this, Jamie, so Nicholas can see it? Right here. Hold that up all the way to the camera. It's a little scary. Oh, yeah, you got the swamp ass. Swamp ass. What is swamp?

Had to get the swamp ass. Had to get the swamp ass. I mean, if you see a tape and it's like the news, if the boys are in the parking lot and we're just kind of kicking rocks around and then somebody runs in and is like, the new swamp ass is out. Everyone runs to the record store to grab it.

Oh, I know, right? What is Swamp Ass? Swamp Ass is basically... Wait a minute, stop real quick. Did you call him Swamp Ass? I think he did. Is that how you actually pronounce it? Swamp Ass?

No. Actually, for the rest of this i would actually prefer swampus actually yeah that's actually the we all have children i would actually prefer if you said swampus swampus yeah uh it's it's actually the artist describes it as uh swamp synth grind okay so it's just backwards it's just ridiculous it is um just something goofy that one of our artists put out he's actually behind a lot of the projects we we deal with uh he also creates persim retro goblin ring bearer a ton of other art art uh projects but um yeah that's just something stupid that he came with me he's like hey i'm making a synth grind core project and i was like i didn't even

need to hear i was like all right fuck yeah let's just do it hell yeah and this one's it's in the swamp so it's like he left the dungeon then right yeah he left the dungeon to go to the swamp okay good yeah because i was always wondering and i kind of been a little embarrassed to ask i've been a little ashamed but when you're in the dungeon where do you plug the synthesizer in because like it's all stone walls and you're underground yeah i know right you you got to make use of generators or black magic okay that's fine i kind of had the same question about the swamp but i won't get into it i mean as you could tell by the dungeon that i do most of my work in is

very brightly lit it's not underground anymore you know we'll put a cool background behind you yeah we were planning to tell everybody that there were lizards behind you. I know, right? Jamie, open that tape up because I noticed you said there was something inside of there, didn't you? Everybody's going to think I'm not cool now. Just say what was in there.

So Jamie just opened this tape. Yeah, and by the way, I ordered this tape. I paid my own hard-earned money for this tape. Shut up and do the thing I said. So I have a copy, too, at home, and I didn't really know what this was. I thought it was a bubblegum wrapper. Yeah. He opened it, and Jamie's like, oh, yeah, I got the bubblegum wrapper.

That's not a bubblegum wrapper. Yeah. What an absolute dummy. For the listeners, it's a cigarette rolling paper. Joe B. had to tell him that. For tobacco only. For tobacco only. For tobacco only, yes.

Adult use, tobacco only. Depending on what state you live in. You know what? It was just 420 a few days ago. Yeah, two or three days ago. Jamie, can you open up? I have a document here. We have a little tradition around here where we

have a little game. It's a fun game. Do you like games? I'm assuming you like games. It's a fun game. Do you like games? Do you like games? I'm assuming you like games. Oh, I love games. What's your favorite game? Of all time, I'd have to say Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past. Okay.

Okay, what's your favorite board game? Board game, what we probably play the most between my friends is... I'm trying to think. think well we play a lot of just really dungeons dragons so like tabletop stuff but uh i really like um just say monopoly sequence what did you say sequence oh okay sequence i've seen that i don't know what that is i don't know it's a game it's like the most boring dumb game in the world i love that and i don't know how to pronounce it but car car carcassone or whatever the fuck it's called i don't really know i don't

know that one well this is actually a much funner game that we have i'm gonna share my screen here with you jamie's going to share his screen uh this is called tape label or weed strain dungeon synth edition here just close your eyes real quick. I just got to put it on full screen mode. Just close your eyes real quick. Don't look, because if you look and you cheat, then actually it's illegal, and we have to end this phone call right now.

And we won't play the Swampus tape. Can you guys see it? So can you see what is on the screen right now, what is presented to you? You want me to hold my eyes? Actually, no. Can you do this entire thing with your eyes closed? I can do it yeah i i

you're good now okay okay we're gonna read you okay open the papers up you're gonna see something on the screen here and you're gonna guess if this is a tape label or a weed strain oh you're gonna make me so dungeon since i'm gonna say some stuff and then people are like you idiot jamie let's get pointed let's get some scary dungeon synth the first one full moon fever full moon fever weed strain a weed strain correct correct all right you got the first one very good first one's correct doing good doing good off to a good start second and jamie i said thank you crypt lord crypt lord crypt lordpe label or weed strain? I'm going to say tape label.

Tape label. The answer is? The answer is tape label. Very good. Two for two. Wow. I'm not even getting these right in my head. The third, Frost Root. That's definitely a tape label.

Tape label. Oh, look at you. Look at the brains on Fred. Oh, my God. You know what? Were his eyes open? His eyes were open in the beginning, weren't they? We'll go back and get a screenshot. We will get a Fred. Oh my God. You know what? Were his eyes open? His eyes were open in the beginning, weren't they? We'll go back and get a screenshot.

We will get a screenshot. Oh man. Jamie, get a screenshot right now, by the way. The next one. Dragon's Lair. Dragon's Lair, but it's possessive. It's the dragon's lair. Lair.

Like a lair in Photoshop. It's the only way I can describe that. Okay, this can go either way i'm gonna i'm gonna go let's say let's say weed strain let's go with weed strain it's final answer final answer weeds yeah whoa this is you got the answers i think Did anyone share this document with you? It's been password protected. Alright. Trollfoot. Oh, wow. I'm going to say

wheat strain again. Am I wrong? Oh my goodness gracious. I think we might be coming to the last one. If that was not the last one. Jamie, how many more are there? I don't know. I can't see the slides. Okay.

Moon Worshipper. Tape label. Tape label for Moon Worshipper. There's like 40 of us. I know. I know. I'm doing my best here. Jesus Christ.

The microcosm of like the microcosm of this scene. Yeah. But a lot of these weed strains would be good tape label names. They sound just like, yeah. I wish I would have named Wernom Trollfoot. Well, you know, sublabels, you know, there's that. Jamie, was that the last one or is there one more? Sunset Magic. Oh, that's a weed strain.

Oh, my God. Okay. Either this is way too easy where he does have the password for the document. And I believe Taste of Beer. That is definitely a tape label that is my good buddy brandon's label okay good and a very good logo i might say yeah it's really sick yeah probably my favorite when i saw taste of beer i went ha ha and i did i laughed and i thought a little a little yeah exactly does everyone want to do a laugh?

Yeah. Okay, Oak and Fog. This must be the last one. Label. Label. Wow. Oak and Fog Records. This is too easy.

This is way too easy. I think... Goblin Eggs. That's going to be a weed strain. Weed strain? Yeah, let's go with weed strain. He can't be stopped. He simply can't be stopped. That was it. 100%.

No one has ever pitched a perfect game. That's an amazing team up, though, because between Dungeons & Synth record labels and weed strains, it's just universal. It could go either way. It could. They could have went either way, but obviously, they all went the

way that you said, and I'm going to try harder next time. Yeah. I'm going to dig a little deeper next time. Well, for your prize, we'll be playing the Swampus tape. Swampus. Nicholas, what's coming up next on Where Known? What do you got? This upcoming week,

we have cassette tapes coming out. We have... Or maybe they just came out, depending on when I get around to editing this. Yeah, when you get around doing it, on the 27th and 28th, we're releasing between our subscribers on the 27th. And to everyone, it's going to be on the 28th. We have new tapes from Maidenhair, Velnius. I got to look at my now I'm feeling.

You guys. Oh, yeah. So we have Velnius, Ringbearer. I can't even pronounce that black metal project name. I'm going to try it. And Maidenhair. Yeah. A lot of these words.

I'm kind of like, it looks cool. I'm never going to say it to another human. You just put it in old English or like forest script or whatever and then beyond like you guys is like cassette tape obsession like uh we have our second vinyl release coming out we're gonna have a pre-order for it for retro goblin the first one so um that's coming up soon enough but yeah like we're just kind of just trying to do our thing put out tapes every month and uh yeah you put out every month huh every month we at least put out four like last year i got a little ridiculous i was doing things like six seven tapes a month

and that just got a bit overwhelming uh so now we try to stick with at least four cassette tapes a Three and... What's that? Three. Three. Three. Yeah, we just... Jamie, please. We just try to, you know, kind of keep it going, you know? Like, I could put out a ton more, really, if it came down to it, but financially, it's not smart. And then also, like, it's kind of like all of our attention spans are so short like dungeon synth is such a scene that is so quick like compared to most other ones whereas like you

know you have something like a punk band like who's working on an album for a whole year and then you're waiting for it to build up build up build up it comes out dungeon synth like you could have 20 amazing albums come out within the same week just because how quick not really necessarily like negating how wonderful the music is but how quickly it can be written and uh the mastering process isn't as severe and stuff like that i mean most of our stuff is kind of like just recorded on the spot onto like the shittiest tape decks you can find and there's something you know heartwarming about that but uh but yeah we just kind of try to pick four a month put it out and do our thing you know oh it's awesome yeah awesome well thank you so much for taking the time out to talk to us for a little bit yeah that's great yeah thanks for having me right on and we'll get

around we're gonna play this swampus Swampus tape. Swampus. And everyone go to google.com and put in Where Gnome Records and check it out. All right, Nicholas. All right, guys. Talk to you. You take it easy. Bye. He got all of those right.

All those right. Yeah, you didn't make it hot. You didn't make it hot. Damn it. All right. I told you. Next up. Well, Jamie made that one. Well, he's putting the wrappers in the thing.

Chartreuse potpourri potpourri chartreuse roulette is this like a like a chat roulette spinoff what is going on here you remember chat roulette i do remember chat roulette i was always too nervous to use that we would go you would see somebody's butt yeah or ding dong oh please we do it at work all the time that's all it was was other people like us just seeing what you could see, and it would just be a couple ding-dongs.

So this is Aaron Keith Hoffer from the Dover area. Dover, Delaware, capital of Delaware. Capital of Delaware. It's the capital of Delaware. In fact, third most populated city in the state. Is that a fact? It's a fact. Three?

You got Wilmington, Newark, and then Dover. Good job. But Aaron, he comes out to the shows every now and then. He's got a young one just like me, and so he's a bit busy. What other personal information do you want to give out? Oh, this is glued on the cover. His wife's name is Stacy.

With an A? Very nice guy. We've known Aaron for years and years. Joby, you were trying to get this card out of the case. Yeah, but I think it's glued. I think it's glued to the cover. Yeah. Can I pull it out?

No, I think it's part of the art. Is that part of the piece? That's part of the piece. It's a very important but I think it's glued. I think it's glued to the cover. Yeah. Can I pull it out? No, I think it's part of the art. Is that part of the piece? That's part of the piece. Yeah. It's a very important piece and it's glued in. So this is a recycled tape. I have no idea the edition size. Usually his... Oh, this is an original artwork in here. Oh, surprise, surprise. I kind of wish it was, though. I wish

then they made copies of... Jose Papa Rivero. He recorded over. That guy probably did a lot of work on that tape. He just put X's all over all the stuff. X out of his face. Potpourri, chartreuse, roulette. Roulette. Okay.

And what is this? Some noise? That's what you would think. Based on his live performances, very loud, very noisy, but... I mean, based on how shitty this tape is. Yeah. How shitty the tape looks. You would think.

But it's kind of like a minimal industrial vibe at least from what i've heard so far in the beginning of the tape okay so like ministry a little bit a little bit more subdued maybe like a vatican shadow oh the cancel yeah we can't bleep that out mike is this uh say that is this mixed media i think that has the media my question is has the media and the artwork been mixed yes i think it has because i think something is mixed media. My question is, has the media and the artwork been mixed? Yes, I think it has. Because I think something... Is this like something inside here that's glued inside the shell? Yes.

Yeah. Wow. It's like hot glued. Yeah, they hot glued the J.C.R. I didn't know you were a big art guy. I didn't know you were into art. Yeah, mixed media, that's an artwork. Wow.

Brian Waterman. I just said it. Oh, you said it? I didn't hear you. I'm sorry. Yeah. He might be from Maryland or something. It's a good state.

It's alright. It's fine. It's fine. Come on. But like Jamie's tape, also shitty J card. Not as shitty as Jamie's, but still shit. What's on X Media media it's just one oh yeah one media they didn't mix it with anything ink on paper yeah you go somewhere and they're like here's like yeah one thing and it's just like this isn't in a museum like where are we what is this um but it's just this now this is now this is noise now this is noise.

Potpourri, chartreuse. No, I'm doing it. Oh, you're doing it now? I thought I was doing it because I was going to say Swampus, disaster piece. I was going to say a little thing about how

the artwork looks like like a pack of rolling papers or a pack of bubble gum if you're a fucking little baby like Jamie. I didn't know what it looked like. How it says 100 stupid songs. How it says on the spine they can't all be winners. They're really leaning into how it sucks. But also, I think it rips. It was nostalgic to me on multiple levels. It made me think

of being a little boy and playing Contra. It made me think of being a little bit older boy and listening to a Gorf of Big Nosebleed 7 inches. Yeah, Gorf of Big Nosebleed. It made me think of being a little bit older boy and having a rolling paper hidden away because one day I'm going to get

some weed to put in it. There's a strawberry flavor too. Oh, shit. Wait a minute. We got a ding. Hold on. Don't let him in yet. It's just asking me if I'm still on the call. Stay on the call. We got a message out for some more guests, but they haven't responded yet.

Potpourri Chartreuse Roulette Recycled Tape. And then Therapist with a self-titled tape on apartment 421. And a little Delaware block there to end it out. Very nice. All right, Joe B., you've been starting all these off,

and you've been doing a really, really... I've been loving what you've been doing. You've been doing some very important pieces tonight. I want to go to Joe again. All right, I'll bring another doing some very important pieces tonight. I'm going to go. I want to go to Joe again. All right. I'll bring another one in a box. I can't stop going to him.

Really, really scary and difficult. Oh, shit. What, you go to Blockbuster before you came here? I went to Blockbuster. Thick box. It's thick as hell. Yeah. This is on Obsidian Relic Records.

Okay. So you're getting scary again? Tyrants of the Strigoi moon how much mama me yeah jamie when he does shit like that you gotta have werewolves bats a haunted coyote how much cash would you say you dropped at the dungeons and fest all fest on merch i don't know did you take out a loan? A small business loan? I got the money. Money's not a problem. I keep telling you that.

He tattoos. Cash money. Alright, alright. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for even asking. I should never ask. Do you get high on your own supply? That's a good question, actually. Do you get high on your own supply? He's talking about bubble gum, by the way. Bubble gum, yes. I heard that in a rap song a couple times i'm sure i don't know

what it means like mommy lets you like mommy lets you listen to rap all right what's in this box like uh like brad just shut up like brad pitt once said what's in the box what's in the box this is a split between your erythrite throne right Erythrite Throne and Saragost both of which I believe played the Dungeons and Siege Festival so yeah this is a split

in like what do we call these boxes it's like a vinyl library case but it kind of has a video game type vibe going on Sega Genesis I'm sorry I'd like to redo the play if we can going on. Sega Genesis. Sega Genesis. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sega. I'd like to redo the play if we can. Oh, okay. Repeat first down.

It kind of has a video game box vibe. Sega Genesis. In the lower corner it says Dungeon Synth Cassette Series. Try Arts. In a little logo that's reminiscent of a video game. Is it a Sega Genesis? Does it have the

i don't know i open it up and see if it like oh no it just holds the regular tape yeah yeah but like would that hold a sega like are they the same size no sega cartridge the same size as i don't know they could be sure i don't think so get a ruler get a ruler so Get a ruler. Jamie, Google what size is a Sega Genesis case. Or what size is a Sega Genesis cartridge. Cartridge. Should I ask ChatGPT? I wish. The Sega Genesis was continued in 1997.

The Sega Genesis had a height. No. No, this isn't the answer. Come on, you fucking bozo. Jamie, please. I'm going to ask ChatGPT. Are you going to play one from each side? Yeah, we'll just play the E3. What is it called again? I don't know, please. I'm going to play that. Are you going to play one from each side? Yeah, we'll just play the Arethra...

What is it called again? I don't know, man. I can't say it. The font doesn't make no sense. You know this shit. You know this stuff. Arethra? I had a little bit of that last summer.

I know. You got about... Arethra Throne. Arethra Throne. Arethra Throne. Arethrethrone. Urethrone. Urethro-throne. Okay. All right.

Hand it over. We'll take a look at it. According to ChatGPT, Sega Genesis cartridge 2.6 by 4.6 by.79. Ooh. That's too specific for me. 67 millimeters

by 117 millimeters by 20 millimeters. Oh, okay. These measurements may vary slightly, but most cartridges follow the general size. Wow, Joby, you got in here just in time. 25 out of 25.

I got the last one. You got the last one. I hope it's not haunted. A lot of times the last copy of a tape will be haunted. And you'll probably ask me what I paid for this. I'm not sure. I learned my lesson. I'm not going to ask you that question.

Not a lot, I don't think. Yeah, I'm not going to learned my lesson i'm not gonna ask you that not a lot i don't think it's yeah i'm not gonna ask you it's fine i mean they reuse the narako case from like 1992 so i hope you didn't pay too much i bet this was reasonable and there's a little insert with some scary people you know some sort of vampire type person in a scary night you know the whole thing is scary as shit yeah i mean at at this point, what else are you going to say about it? Yeah, I think you get it. It's scary. I think you get it. It's super scary. Yeah, it's too scary. Jamie, do you have the ability right now

to play something that is not scary at all? Yeah, I think. You think you can do that? Okay. Alright, I'm having fun you can do that? Okay Alright, I'm having fun I meant tape-wise Jamie, I meant out of the tapes you brought You gotta be more specific

I meant out of the tapes you brought I don't think I have the ability to do that Okay, so you You brought all these scary stuff with you then, huh? My remaining two are scaries Okay What are you gonna pick? One out of the do you want to pick one out of the two i'll pick one out of the two do me a favor and pick the least scarier one i already peed my pants okay maybe i'll pick see this isn't all right

so you just you just did this this uh group of favor here oh oh wow bad trips bad trips i don't like those, Jamie. Actually, I've never had one. You've never had a bad trip in your entire life? All good times. Good for you, man. I don't get scared that easy, except for scary movies and driving really fast in the car, roller coasters.

You guys know bad trips? Except for scary movies, driving really fast in cars, and roller coasters. I don't get scared. I think we can combine driving really fast in cars, and roller coasters. I don't get scared. I think we can combine driving really fast in cars and roller coasters into two things. Into one thing, excuse me.

So I think, except for scary movies... Yeah, but you could drive really fast in the car on a straight road. The roller coaster doesn't even have to be going that fast, but if it goes up a thing, like up a hill, then I guess it comes fast down. Yeah, that's scary. You'd be fine on a slow roller coaster. I don't even like the log flume.

Really? Yeah. The log flume's fun, though. I don't like it. It's safe. Joe, the log flume is safe. See, now I'm nervous that we already played Bad Trips recently. I'm searching the archives real quick. You're bad at this. It's just a completely white tape with no label or anything. Well, that happens sometimes. Yeah, but like... Put a sticker on it.

Yeah, but if it's going to be a completely white shell with nothing written on it, if you're going to put in that low of effort, we're going to play it twice? We can't play it twice. Ryan Mosteller wrote a review for a different album on 1.30, 2023 for an album called Drink the Ooze on Already Dead. Yes.

And in 2016... No, never mind. You know, I don't care if we already... They're friends. Yeah, they're friends. Bad trips are friends. They're buddies. Good friends. They're good friends. I would give Conrad Cam a ride to the airport any day.

I wouldn't. They probably... I'm probably more... You would ride to the airport. If he said, hey, Jamie, I need a ride to LaGuardia. I would love to. You're leaving Delaware. You're driving... I'm on my way.

I'm on my way, buddy. I got your back. Would you help him move? Would I help him move? It depends what I'm moving. Okay. Small stuff. Oh'm on my way. I'm on my way, buddy. I got your back. Would you help him move? Would I help him move? It depends what I'm moving. Okay. Like his apartment. Small stuff.

Oh, just small stuff. No couches. Yeah, no couches. Okay. You're a pretty good friend. What about like a love seat? That's not that big. Because you do have, hold on.

He could fit a couch in his vehicle. Oh, you got a big one? That's right. I can't fit a couch. I would help him move a couch if I had Jamie's car. I have a midsize SUV. Oh, yeah, I've been in your car. I would help bad trips move.

I've put stuff in it before. Would you be their driver on tour? What kind of gas mileage do you get with that thing? 20 miles. That's awful. I agree. That's awful. That is so bad.

All right, who's in bad trips? All right, we got Conrad Camp. A lot of good friends of mine. Andy Bortz. Andy Bortz. And then David Drucker. Three? Three.

Three? Yeah. I don't know how much I have to say. I probably should have played Drink the Ooze, but I don't have that on because that came out in 2023, but this one's from 2021. I thought you were playing all new stuff, Jamie. I thought he was going to say 2024. 2024.

I honestly thought he was going to say this is from the future. I've never seen this one before. It's very short. Look at the spool. It's not got a lot of tape on it. I have a feeling it says what it needs to say and then it gets out of there. Low energy.

With packaging though, low energy. Very low energy. Like Joe B. pointed out, this is just a white shell. The Swampus tape that we played, the Swampus tape which says right, the Swampus tape, which says right away, I'm a shitty tape. I'm dumb. I'm a dumb stugas.

No, it says they can't all be winners. They can't all be winners, man. But look at it. Look at the shell. White shell, but just with a number on it. Real big. Two. One on one side. And two on the other. In red. Real big. Hold on. on get a picture you holding that

joke big real big this one is just you gotta put something on it real big gentlemen corn then the no rolling paper see that one no rolling paper in here the paper for the cover no the tape the tabs are in by the way too too. Oh, that's disgusting. The paper is just a picture of you holding their tape now all sad. It's going to look like a magic trick where you made the number disappear. And then you made the number disappear. Now let me see you pissed.

Now let me see you holding both of them up and you're kind of horny for the one and you're kind of looking at it. Yeah. And now you're looking at the other one and you're you're kind of looking at look at the way yeah and now you're looking at the other one you're mad okay you really made me feel comfortable with that photo shoot but then well the next one wait for the next one but the cover the paper for the cover is also low energy it's very low energy and this is this is on a label too yeah this isn't a self-release what

do they get defunded or something like that? It's on Solid Melts. It's a Brooklyn label. Brooklyn. Hey, I'm from Brooklyn. They've put out some cool stuff. But yeah, I guess they're a little bit more low budget. So, yeah.

Like a Roger Corman. Yeah, they spent all their money on it. They spent all their money on an apartment that's like a refurbished port-a-potty. But it's like, they getished port-a-potty. But it's like, you can get a sandwich at 2 in the morning. But their J cards are basically non-existent. Meanwhile, I got rolling papers falling out.

Don't crush my bubblegum wrapper. I'm going to put my bubblegum in it later. For strawberry bubblegum. Bad trips from beyond on Solid Melts. No, they're good friends. No, we joke, but they are good friends. They like me a lot. So I don't want to joke.

Nice people. No, they think of me very highly and they are my acquaintances. I'm going to real quick check in to see. We have not been responded to with this link. I think we have been stood up. I'll get on Facebook Messenger. Oh, wow. And I'll blast them on there. Typically, when someone doesn't respond, Jamie, you just let it go. No. up you want me to um i'll get on facebook messenger oh wow you want to and i'll i'll

blast them typically when someone doesn't respond jamie you just let it go no no i'm not pushing this yeah well while you're doing that i'm going to talk about this cherry tape cherry called fat but not like you would think not a cherry like that a cherry like the song by suicide c-h-e-r-e-e i don't know that that. That's kind of scary. I'm into scary stuff sometimes. All right, stop. I'm looking at it. Stop reaching for it.

Sometimes I need to get it back for information. Made in Canada. The stuff I want to say sometimes is on the tape. Cherub Dream. Cherub Dream is the label. They have the best website of any label I've ever seen. Ever? Yes. I want you to go to cherubdreamrecords.info.

If you're driving your car, I want you to just keep doing it and just go to this website because it's really, really, really good. I put in goofle. Oh, my God. That's actually pretty funny.

Oh, I see. Now I'm out. Is that why?

Yeah, because, yeah. Jamie, do we, are we, let me ask you, do we end the podcast now or are you, like, hacking their Facebook still? Well, they're active right now. They got the little green icon next to their name.

We know you're on. That means they're ignoring you. I messaged them. That means they're ignoring you. Yeah. I don't know. I would say give them one more chance do you want to do a chat gpt interview oh i'd love to yeah as i guess so yeah we could do that we could just wait for next time do you want to tell chat gpt to pretend tombols? We were going to talk to Crash Symbols. I've never been stood up before.

I'm normally the most popular guy around. Can you tell ChatGPT to pretend? A little pretend? Yeah, I said, pretend you're a tape label Crash Symbols and I'm interviewing you. So what gave you your inspiration? Crash Symbol draws its inspiration from the rich history of independent music and the DIY ethos of the underground music scene. Oh, wow.

Our label was founded with the goal of promoting and releasing music that pushes boundaries, challenges conventions, and offers a fresh perspective on what's possible in the world of independent music. I feel like I'm talking to Dwight and Liz right now. What do they have upcoming? Ask what's coming up.

Overall, our inspiration comes from a deep love of music and desire to... Oh, I should ask them? Yeah, ask them what they got on the horizon the horizon okay what do you have on the horizon it's confused okay at crash symbols we're always looking to push the boundaries of independent music and explore new sounds and genres we have a number of exciting releases in the pipeline including new albums from some of our favorite artists, as well as some exciting collaborations and partnerships. Nice.

Partnerships. Very cool. Cool. I could go on. Yeah, go on. I want to know what else is going on. We are also constantly looking for new ways to engage our fans and build a vibrant community around independent music.

Constantly ignoring my messages. We're planning to launch new initiatives and events that will help connect fans with their favorite artists and offer new opportunities for discovery and exploration overall we are excited about the future of independent music and the role that Crash the Most can play in shaping it we believe that there is an incredible wealth of talent and creativity out there

Alrighty. Do I want to play another tape? It wouldn't be Tabs Out without Mike doing two. Should I do two? Or should I talk more about this cherry tape? Did you want to look at this cherry tape? I could talk about how the paper's thick if anyone cares.

Mike really wants Crash Symbols to join now. I could stall. Please join. No, that's fine. That's fine. I don't give a fuck because actually the episode was actually pretty good with all the boxes and stuff.
