Starting point is 00:00:41 Right now, everyone's ears are like, ooh-la- la, mama mia. Because Jamie brought a new mister into the studio. We got Onyx preamps, boys. Ooh, I don't know what that means. And we got new studio monitor speakers. We've lost our Behringer. Which actually, do we test those?
Starting point is 00:01:01 We did, yeah. Remember they were feeding back like crazy. Oh, I thought you were playing a tape. No. I think everything sounds very good now. I thought that was the new, like, flesh maggot tape or something. No, there is a tape playing in the background.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Joby, you still have the... This one? Yeah, we literally just opened up the envelope. This is playing right now? This is playing right now. Huh. I know both tapes are in there. We're playing the band camp.
Starting point is 00:01:23 That's supposed to be a secret. Oh, okay. Well, that's why I didn't say camp. That's supposed to be a secret. Oh, okay. Well, that's why I didn't say anything. That's supposed to be a little special secret. That's why I didn't say anything, and I just went. I know, but the way you went, huh, and then tapped on the tapes. Tap on the tape. Tap on them again, please.
Starting point is 00:01:33 So you can hear it with the new mixer? With the new mixer, there's no denying that you just. Give me a little something. Wow. Yeah, there's no denying that you were like huh well yeah but i think you know what why was this you know i'm a simple man and that confused me you're lying to everyone what are we playing in the background the tape is called mk ultra by richard ryan richard and errol lug don't get me started on mk ultrara. It's volume one. We were doing a little.
Starting point is 00:02:05 My uncle worked for the CIA. Of course, that explains a lot about you, Jamie. I definitely think you're a plant. You're definitely an asset that has infiltrated the group. And he definitely told you not to mention that. Uncle Gary said don't tell anyone that.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Alright, what do I do about this? Turn the soundboards up, dummy. Or if you turn the soundboard... Oh, that's the thing about playing tapes on Bandcamp. I can just turn Mike's soundboard down. No, I don't like that. And then I can go... Who again?
Starting point is 00:02:34 Errol, Oolong? Yeah, it's a new one. Ephem Arl. Whenever Ephem Arl sends us an envelope, it's always got their stamp all the way across it, and I see it, and I go, yup, we're gonna play this. This is a nice presentation. We're gonna gas them up.
Starting point is 00:02:47 We're gonna gas them up. It's a good New York label. Great label. Great label. And this is a double tape that literally, I'm gonna assume, just came out. What do you think this little pocket here is for? You know what? We're learning every day, the more we touch these cassettes, that the packaging's
Starting point is 00:03:04 very widely. What did I discover last time? Something. They should get you on more of these. You should be involved more on conspiracy theories, Joe. Because the shit you find out about cassette tape packaging. Last time was all the different types of, what are these called? The nubs.
Starting point is 00:03:22 The nubs. I've been focusing on that lately when I open a tape. Look, called the nubs the nubs yeah yeah i've been paying i've been focusing on that lately when i open a tape yeah look what kind of how many here's the uh four there's a three there i got a three this one's got no none of them it's a double we're not far away from turning this into a game of chance but jamie i'd like you to open that real quick does it have the place where a nub should have went, or is it smooth? It does have the place. It has the circles. They measure it out.
Starting point is 00:03:53 You sure you don't want them, kid? You sure? My machine can do them. I can do nubs. You old bastard. I don't want the fucking nubs. You know what else I noticed? So I want everyone everyone listening if you have a if you have a cassette tape by you even if you're driving your car just like reaching to the back don't look and reaching to the back like comically like where are my tapes grab a cassette
Starting point is 00:04:14 tape and look at the naruko you two two grab one oh okay okay look on the edge that opens is there a little thumb notch this one has one i got a thumb notch this one has one but it's different than this one i love the thumb notch because how else are you going to get the sucker open thumb notch this one this one's like from 1970s so it doesn't have a notch because back then men were men yeah you could fucking they didn't need a notch you get home from the fucking mill or yeah from. Yeah. From war. Yeah. Every day you would come home from Vietnam. And you'd open your tape up like a man.
Starting point is 00:04:50 You'd open up your sack lunch, your metal lunchbox. You'd take out your tape. It was the hippies that introduced the tab. Oh, man, we need a thumbs up, man. Oh, man, I keep sliding open this tape, man. I'm telling you, man, this stuff will poison your mind. All right, what do you want to get into first? I think this tape is...
Starting point is 00:05:16 Can you even hear it anymore? It's a... I'll turn it up a little bit. Oh, my God. You know what I was thinking? This is our first episode of the year. It's taken a while for us to get together and do this. I was thinking, I woke up this morning, and I was doing my morning routine.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Joe, you know my morning routine, if you want to say a little bit of it. Actually, I don't know your morning routine. You get up. I get up. Oh, you do some exercise? I do 10,000 push-ups. 10,000 push-ups. I've been doing a little working out myself.
Starting point is 00:05:42 And I eat a whole avocado. Yeah, For the fats For the good fats The pit has cyanide you can't do that Well he's been I have a t-shirt There's a picture of an avocado on it And it says skin and pit I don't give a shit

Starting point is 00:06:47 do you do pull-ups at all i do 20 000 pull-ups each hand oh single single okay and i was thinking about all these tapes we always we play these tapes and stuff i think we should let's keep one i think we should pick a tape and just keep one as a pet and not play it. And it'd just be our pet this year. Do we feed it? We feed it. We each take it home. It's like a Tamagotchi. And then at the end of the year it dies and we bury it.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Oh, okay. Which one are you choosing? You're good at this because you used to work at a vet. I did used to work at a vet hospital. Do we introduce the episode or ourselves at all? This is Tabs Out Cassette Podcast Episode 195. I'm Mike. I'm Jamie. I'm hospital. Do we introduce the episode or ourselves at all?

Starting point is 00:29:23 Ortega. Whether the research into the voice phenomenon had any significance and whether it was based on firm foundation, The voice answers, entrojas mufas questiones. A Latin voice then breaks in with a statement that could be interpreted in various ways. It might mean, for instance, that the voice phenomenon research may benefit mankind, even if the process is a painful one. The experimenter addresses his former collaborator,
Starting point is 00:30:30 the Swiss parapsychologist Professor Gerhard Frey. Beset by doubts, the experimenter begs Professor Frey to give his name, and the voice answers, Lying. name and the voice answers, LIE! Then, in Swedish and German, Du sowas willst nicht glauben!
Starting point is 00:31:02 Willst nicht glauben. You are sleeping. You do not want to believe. You do not want to believe. In another recording, the experimenter remarks that people do not believe in life after death. And the voice answers, So sind die. Then the friend gives his name. Wittautus Simane.

At the end of a recording session, the experimenter says that he is tired. The voice comes in with, Bonne natt. A request by the experimenter that the voice entities should tell him from where they came
Starting point is 00:33:48 is answered by a voice saying, Vaelicious Lunt. Radio frequency voices. Professor Loris, who was a close friend of the experimenter, promised that he would manifest, if possible, after death. We hear a voice say, Norris, je magt, klar.

Starting point is 00:45:31 and there's a lot of them because it's double set compilation. Almost every artist I have never heard of before. Is named Banana? I think the theme of this tape was they said, make synthetic bird music. And then all the artists got said, okay, however you interpret synthetic bird music and then all the artists got said uh okay that however you interpret synthetic bird music and so what we got here is kind of like a little little ambient a little field recording ish um sometimes synthy um however people interpreted it but um it's such a good idea a lot of european artists on here they should do another animal next yeah synthetic wildebeest music well how would no no dog dog dog music

Starting point is 00:49:14 So this Desert Moon of Karth adventure for the sci-fi role-playing game Mothership is kind of like a space western-y type vibe. It's a little bit of a point crawl. You can go from these different locations. In outer space, there's no cardinal directions. Everything's up, everything's down. There's no east and west.
Starting point is 00:49:32 There's two schools of thought. Have you ever been there, Jamie? You also... This is the guy who can't figure out how to update our avatar on podcast streaming services. He's like, when you go to space, there's no cardinal directions and I'm like Jamie

Starting point is 01:07:39 I found a lot of YouTubes of a coyote eating a rat. It's Eric Hines. Yeah, nothing much more audio-wise than mainly the soundtrack. Mainly this, yeah. Yeah, it seems like maybe Joel Hines, who came up with this game, was constantly working on his game,
Starting point is 01:07:55 and his brother was in the next room like, can I put some of my music on the soundtrack? He's like, fine. Fine. Okay, it's called When the Coyote Eats the Rat. Oh my God. You get the B-side. Can I have the whole B-side?

Starting point is 01:26:33 kids television program i thought it'd be kind of funny you thought it'd be funny and then all through this year we're going to keep talking about it yeah how's the tape do how's power strip doing and like me yeah and then maybe we get it like a toy or something. All right, I'm kind of liking it now. Can we at least try it? We can try it. We try it out. Yeah, there's no bad ideas.
Starting point is 01:26:51 And then maybe other people have that tape too and they like say like, hey, look, I got the same kind of pads. I don't know. All right, Jamie, go ahead. I don't know. Close it out. Take me home tonight.
Starting point is 01:27:05 All right, I got something. This probably does not follow Dungeon Synth very well. Well, I played something, too. About a year ago, we were cleaning out my grandparents' house, rest in peace. And I was going through my grandfather's desk. Their house died? Yeah, their house died. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:27:19 Getting ready for sale, just cleaning it out, taking some little knickknacks here and there. And I was snooping through my grandfather's desk i pulled out a couple cassette tapes and this was one of them this tape by don joe um before you get into it were you expecting to find any cassette tapes there were you like i'm gonna go to my grandparents house i hope i find some tapes um maybe in the back of my head or are you like kind of like too sad for that you're always looking for this with that holy grail you're always looking for that wow factor and uh so it's going through the drawer and i saw this tape and it just looks like it almost looks like an
Starting point is 01:27:54 instructional educational tape or something like that i don't really know what to describe it as so it took me like a year like and then i just listened to it recently and i and i was like oh my goodness like this is like this is something just listened to it recently, and I was like, oh my goodness, this is something that's very unique. Oh yeah, and the sticker fell off. We got to re-glue that. So this is Donjo. It sounds, and I lent this to Mike. I don't know how you would describe it.
Starting point is 01:28:17 It almost sounds like- Like country and western, some swing, a little Latin from the organ and keyboard of Donjo. Yeah, a little easy listening. I think it's organ music but like not one not just like a pipe organ it's like one of those organs that has like the french horn and the trumpet and the maracas and okay yep um it sounds like it's like almost like midi type music but it's not mid it's it's too early i think this is 1970s i think the kids call it mid Mid yeah It's sus Let's go He's bussin I like that his name on the logo
Starting point is 01:28:54 Is the N and the J are one letter Yeah and it might be It was ahead of it's time My grandparents were from New Jersey I'm not sure maybe that's a But then I think it says Tennessee on the tape Yeah I think he was from like the Midwest or the, he wasn't from around.
Starting point is 01:29:08 He's not from the 95 corridor. He's like a pastor, a pastor, a pastor. He's an ordained minister. An ordained minister. Yeah. I don't know the difference.
Starting point is 01:29:17 Um, but, um, I'll say this. Like there was one episode where I played a tape by angels. Do you remember that angels tape? And I was like, this is like what the actual music sound like before these hipsters started making it ironic.
Starting point is 01:29:28 And I feel like with Donjo, it's the same thing. Like, this is the original deal before people started like doing little spins on it and putting out their tapes on orange milk. This guy was like a hotel lobby organist. Yeah, yeah. And in his spare time made tapes like this. Yeah. Have we figured out if he's still alive? I think we did the math last time and he would have to be in his spare time made tapes like this yeah have we figured out if he's still alive i think we did the math last time and he would have to be in his hundreds so i think we so yes we said yes he's
Starting point is 01:29:52 alive he has risen good for him what information are you joe b you're really you're studying that thing like a uh i'm just looking uh it talks about he was commissioned to record the soundtrack and background music For the documentary Television production My Water Valley Produced by the Kentucky Television Network

Starting point is 01:30:46 Mostly in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida. You're at a horse show, everything's going fine, all of a sudden, Don Joe! What are you doing here? So, Jamie, are you gonna play his own composition, which is on this tape? The other ones seem like they're, like, standards.
Starting point is 01:31:03 Maybe we should play his own composition. Yeah. So that one is caribbean paradise okay is that on the a side that's on the beginning is it gonna be hard to find it's gonna be hard for no it's a second track on the b side that's not that hard it's not that i can second track on the b side um he's done some writing and the song entitled caribbean paradise is his own composition he He incorporated the Baldwin Microcomputer Orchestra Organ and the Korg DW-8000. The 8000? The 8000 synthesizer keyboard
Starting point is 01:31:31 in the production of this album. Happy listening. So, Don Joe. No, that's a clue because we can look up when this Korg DW-8000 was released.
