We're almost to number 200.
That's a big deal.
Do you have any balloons or any kind of like a cake prepared?
I got my countdown.
Oh, let's hear it.
Is it going?
Here it is.
The countdown is going.
The countdown is boiling.
But right now, we'll have to settle for 197.
You're not a doctor, Lee.
All right.
I'm Mike.
I'm Joe.
I'm Jamie.
That has been established.
We're going to play some cassette tapes.
We're back with the way I got a huge pile here on the table.
This is a very unorganized episode.
Are we going to be?
Look at this like disheveled.
There's some cellophane all about.
Joe's opening a death metal tapes.
I am. I know this has just been the scariest
table.
Too scary.
Throw this away. Crunch it in the microphone a little bit.
There we go.
Yes.
That's a thing.
Some of these freaks out there are going to get a little
Put reverb on it. Give these freaks out there are going to get a little... Put reverb on it, Jamie.
Oh, Jamie, give these freaks something to get
some of the listeners. This is the only way
they can get all off.
I didn't like when you said, you don't talk
for a minute.
Oh, my God.
Don't worry. That's why I. You're starting to creep me out.
Don't worry.
That's why I did it.
I get off on it.
Well, I got some tapes here, but I don't want to be the one that,
I don't want to seem too thirsty.
Are you sure?
I'm a generous lover, so I want to let somebody else go first.
All right, I'm going to go first then, Jamie.
I'm going to take the reins.
I've gone first.
So I will, excuse me.
Oh, so I will, excuse me.
Order on the court.
I order in the court, your honor.
I will allow Joe B. to go first.
Thank you.
But I'm feeling better.
And only through my wise decisions
as being leader of this podcast
will I allow you to go first.
Thank you, boss.
All right, I'm going to play this self-release tape
by a local Philadelphia black metal band
called Unholy Altar.
Has this been vetted?
Too scary.
It's not been vetted, Jamie.
I live on the edge.
I feel like we need to...
Cancel me, Jamie.
Cancel me.
No, don't cancel Joe.
Please, please, please.
No one cancel Joe just yet.
I feel like this is okay.'re like on the younger end of people
So it's almost like
Emulating
Then you know they're not from
Norway they live in the woods
You know what I mean
And if they made any mistakes they got time
They got their whole life to clean it up
I was young your honor
Your honor it was the 80s i didn't know i didn't know yet we were all doing it hand it
over here jamie i do need you to before i touch it will you vet it will you vet it
me and larry saw them perform live okay so think about that well i'm thinking you're
i'm thinking you uh are getting awfully close to
that an unvetted black metal band yeah this is very scary for me it's on a max l it's on a 90
minute max l right yeah they're going old school school it's awesome wow you went to go see this
philadelphia black metal band with the max l cassette tape who are going old school
where did you see them?
At the photo club with Questmaster.
Oh, that weird-ass bar in Philly
you were talking about.
That bar is so weird.
Yeah.
They didn't shut that down yet?
It's a private club.
Oh, so you can't...
A private club?
Yeah, you can't shut those down.
You can't shut those down.
That's unregulated.
That's wasteland.
It was like in the wasteland.
Yeah, you can't shut those down.
Those are unregulated you
could smoke in there there was a cigarette machine there was a cigarette like a new one it had vapes
in it not like a they had an old school one and i saw that first with the knobs remember the knobs
like you pull the knob oh oh one of those yeah jamie jamie you don't know about cigarettes
please jamie I can't believe I couldn't see. Please. Jamie. Jamie, stop.
But it is a bar.
Like, the building was a bar.
Functional.
Probably, to me, it looked like the 70s was its heyday.
Yeah.
And it seems like it's been abandoned since then.
And then somehow someone bought it and called it a private club.
And now they do shows there.
So something happened in the 70s.
It closed down. And then a few months ago ago it opened up and unholy altar just started playing yeah yeah they said oh my god there's a cigarette
machine here and unholy altar and they got the max l cassettes because they're going old school
maybe they just don't know about national Audio Company and Duplication.com. Oh, they know, Jamie. They know about it. They know.
They know.
They're going old school.
Who's this on the cover?
Is this person in the band?
Yeah.
I think that's the singer.
Okay.
Very scary.
I'm excited to hear this.
And they're from Philadelphia.
They're from Philadelphia.
Wow.
They were all corpse painted up and scary as fuck.
Did they come with the corpse painted?
Yeah, well, because when I got there, there were these people
sitting at the bar with the corpse painted on.
Can I have a ginger ale?
Ginger ale!
Who are these bozos?
I got it.
You hope you play early.
So what do you do after you play?
They still had it on.
Corpse paint all night, huh?
Yep.
All night.
By the end, though, they were kind of sweaty.
It kind of ran a little bit.
Oh, I hate it when my corpse paint runs.
Yeah, that's why I use...
I couldn't think of a good witty name.
You want a minute?
No, no.
I'm on the spot.
I can't do it we can take a
day or two and cut it back in later all right i'll workshop it a little bit you'll never be
able to tell the difference jamie is a whiz on the audio all right you take off the t-shirt and
you can see the line like a tan line but it's the he's like i go all the way down you just
got to rewind the a side and we'll start with that.
Oh, God.
I listened to it a little bit.
All right.
Not that much.
So that's what I want to play first.
Very cool.
And this is a self-titled, self-released.
Self-titled, self-released.
Awesome.
It's their demo.
They don't have anything else out.
Oh, that's a little demonstration for us.
A little bit of what we can do.
Okay.
Just to let you know,
a little what we can do when we go old school on the Maxell Cassette.
Do they fill up the whole 90 minutes on here?
You know what? I'm not 100% on that.
No way. There's four tracks.
Jamie already checked. I think it's probably just
on one side. Oh yeah, there's only
four tracks. It's four tracks. Okay. I don't I think it's probably just on one side. Oh, yeah. There's only four tracks. It's four tracks.
Okay.
All right.
I don't even think it repeats on the B side.
All right, Jamie, what do you got?
Can you follow that up?
I think I can.
This one's hot off the presses.
Bloodsnake 2.
Oh, I haven't seen Bloodsnake 1.
I'm going to be totally lost.
This one is from Apartment 421 From our friend Alex Homan
From Delaware, then Baltimore, then Florida, now Vermont
Oh, he's a Vermont boy now?
Really?
Just arrived the other day
It's got scotch tape covering the tabs
A lot of it, too
We got our
120 degree nubs
The triple nub
Oh, look at you, math head.
Look at the brains on Brad over here.
Do you know...
The degrees.
Do you know in one episode
we call them hubs
and then another episode
we call them nubs?
No, we didn't call them nubs.
No, I'm a nub man.
I've always been a nub man.
You know that.
We had to have been talking
about something else
if we called them hubs.
No, I'm a nub.
Should we explain what...
I don't think we've ever said
when we say nubs
what exactly we're talking about
I've talked about it in length
are you sure you said what you're talking about though
I was at the tattoo convention
I'm not that far away
this circles back
your honor
I brought some of my tapes
I'll be the judge of that your honor
and I was talking to someone and they'd never seen
the double one that opens like
that you know the double double one that opens like oh yeah that you know which i thought
was yeah like the double naroko that opens both ways yeah and i was like well if you really want
to get into something we could talk about nubs for a while i started showing all the differences
i was like see this is what we call a double but we still haven't said what the nubs are it's the
like the hub like piece he just called him a hub. I know, I'm kidding.
I don't know.
It goes into the spool holes.
Ooh.
Yeah, it's the little things that stick up inside the Noroco case,
inside the cassette case.
Yeah.
There's two little pointy things.
Hubs.
And it mates with the spools.
And it mates with the spools.
Jamie, you dirty son of a bitch.
Shut the fuck up, man.
File done, Jamie. And sometimes they don the spools. And it mates with the spools. Jamie, you dirty son of a bitch. Jamie, shut the fuck up, man. Well done, Jamie.
And sometimes they don't have them.
And they're often different.
They're often different.
It's snowflakes.
It's like a snowflake, yeah.
I'm going to start looking at these other tapes now.
Well, hold on.
Jamie talks about this tape.
Sorry, here, here.
So this Blood Snake 2 tape is,
it doesn't credit anybody on it,
but on the band camp it says
it's a project of Jordanordan romero from baltimore
and then i went to the discogs page for jordan romero and that seems to be the person on the
cover though i feel like they tried to make this tape look like kind of a fake movie soundtrack
you get that get those vibes blood snake 2 yeah um some sort of soundtrack video game i mean i'll
tell you one thing they didn't try that hard because it doesn't say like
anything about like soundtrack rated r the radio doesn't say rated r i'm like i'm a nc-17 kind of
we know that big boy i like how um it's printed on like the shittiest piece of paper you can
really yeah the worst yeah and i saw i want to point out again that the amount of scotch tape that's
used to cover the the tabs the holes on the top yeah it's so much and i saw on instagram the other
day alex homan who runs this label dubbing some tape i believe on the same duplicator that i sold
him like 10 years ago and i'll tell you, it was bad when I sold it to him.
I can't imagine.
He totally refurbished it.
Oh, yeah.
Actually, it did look like he bought all new belts, all new parts.
It's true.
I build pretty good computers.
So what do you think he's trying to do?
What do you mean creating a fake soundtrack?
Well, it doesn't have any artist name on it.
It's just called blood snake 2 and then even the picture of the guy on the front sort of almost
looks like a movie villain of some kind like i'm the blood snake but i might be totally off
alex you know just sent it to me with no explanation um i played a little bit of it
it's very like kind of lo-fi psychedelic um I'm the Blood Snake. And it's really good.
Hey, everybody, I'm the Blood Snake.
Blood Snake 2.
All right.
Speaking of 2, I'm going to play 2.
The first one is because I got a bunch here.
I got more than all these guys.
Yeah, give me some background music.
Give me some nice, somber background music why i introduced
this the first one is mergs bow and vinegar tom the tape's called field much
mergs bow which mergs but i thought maybe you just were having an aneurysm well i am i really
wanted to look at that in addition to that uh Who's Merzbow? I don't know.
It's difficult to find any information about either of these artists online anywhere.
And maybe I live online, so I'm not finding information anywhere else.
So this is not Merzbow.
No.
That's what, see, I don't want to rule that out.
Yeah.
Who's Scarab Tapes?
Scarab Tapes is the label that released this tape.
Oh, it's not even Scarab.
It's S-G.
Oh, is it? Let me fix this.
S-G-A-R-D.
Scarab.
Scarab. I can't say it.
S-G-A-R-D. Who could that be?
And that's the name of the label?
That's the name of the label.
Field Much, which I assume has a lot to do with field recordings.
Oh, okay.
Maybe there's some more information.
It's a very vague tape.
It's Field Mulch.
Field Mulch?
Yeah.
I thought it said Field Much.
No.
I thought that was so clever.
Field Much.
It's Field Mulch.
And Vinegar Tom Field Mulch. Oh, clever. Field mulch. It's field mulch?
Mersbaugh and Vinegar Tom field mulch.
Oh, what is field mulch?
Is that different than just standard mulch?
Yeah, it's for the field.
No, you don't plant.
It's not for flowers.
So these aren't field mulch?
Oh, it's for crops.
It's crop mulch.
Okay.
Like sorghum.
Okay.
So yeah, Jamie, you asked, or you said, so this is is not Merzbow. It doesn't seem to be Megsbo.
This is Megsbo.
Now, look at your keyboard.
Do you have a standard QWERTY keyboard on your machine?
I do. Look how close
the R and the G are to each other.
It could be
possible
that it's a typo and this is Merzbow.
You think it's possible? I don't want to rule that out
but on Discogs they don't have it listed
under aliases for Merzbow
well you've been had
do you want to put a note on there?
can you put a community note that just says
a work order to check this out
just put like citation
needed on episode
hold on here I'll put it on right now
on episode 197 of Tabs Out here. I'll put it on right now. On episode one ninety
seven of Tabs Out, it was
noted that Merv's bow
is quite possibly Merv's bow,
but this was a typo on the
cassette jay card.
Also, it's not called Field Mulch.
It's called Field Munch.
I really thought it was called Field Munch.
Yeah, I know.
Learn to read.
What's the drawing of?
It's some birds.
A couple birds.
Oh, that's what made me also think it's probably a field recording because field recordings
are littered with those goddamn things.
At first, I thought maybe this tree that they're on is over the field, but there's a couple
wavy lines, but there's three fish, so that might be some sort of river i think that the the
trees are the tree is over and the birds are hanging out on top okay two birds uh a red bird
and like a brownish bird it's a british project from cardiff cardiff wales right wales yeah
now whales are involved yeah all kinds of creatures god bless the queen god save the queen
or do we bless her i got bad news for you joe
oh what we lost her oh son of a bitch we lost her
for the queen real quick why pick my next tape play me something somber for the queen okay
thank you nich Nicholas Langley.
Does anybody know Nicholas Langley?
I don't know.
Is that a third kind?
Am I right?
You're right.
Jamie, please.
Jamie, please.
He's on fire over here.
Oh, Jimmy.
Pull him up.
Easy.
Reshapes.
The complete HZ Reworks.
What does that mean?
I don't know, because I've got to read it for you,
because you might have said something wrong.
That's like Hertz Donut?
No, The Complete Hertz Reworks.
Hertz Donuts?
You want a Hertz Donut?
Then I punch your ass?
No.
Yeah, this guy runs Third Kind Records, and this is like a um he calls them reshapes i
think they're just remixes i don't know what he's trying to what he's trying to do here
he's trying to fool some people a career spanning collection of nicholas langley's
reinterpretations of music by various friends and third kind label mates
huh he calls it a career huh interesting i
don't recognize anybody sometimes everything's wrong you don't recognize a single name what a Fisty Kendall. That's it.
Yeah, no fisty.
Wrong Signals, maybe I've heard of Wrong Signals.
We played Wrong Signals before.
What about Feeder of Hope?
Crush, Smash, Reflex Conditions,
Son of Celluloid. Well, I think the problem is...
Lyndon Pomeroy.
Sky King.
Well, I think the problem is you don't know any of these people.
I don't think anyone does.
And I think Nicholas Langley's like,
God, give me some of your music.
I'll reshape it.
Nobody knows any of your shit.
Give it to me.
Give it to me.
I'll turn it into...
Jamie, he's a tastemaker.
So wait, he's remixing other people
or other people are remixing him?
I think what we're supposed to be saying is...
What are we supposed to be saying?
He is reshaping...
He's reshaping other people's stuff.
Other people's music.
Get your own stuff.
Get your...
What do you mean?
Nick should make his own music?
Make your own music.
Oh my God, make your own music.
How old are you?
What are you, a baby?
Right now you're causing a disturbance.
So this came out on third kind uh good job march buy your own music uh i'll probably play the first track off that because that's what's rewound too
all right it's the uh crush something what is it no i'm serious i know you are that's the... Crush something? What is it? No, I'm serious. I know you are. That's the meanest part.
You're being so mean to this one.
Am I? It's crush something.
Normally, I'm mean to it, and it's cute
because I'm a stinker. I'm not being mean.
But you are not supposed to be mean. I'm not trying to be mean.
It's not my intention.
Crush trash.
Radios.
I don't answer questions.
This is really, really scary and difficult.
This one's from the year 2000.
All right, so we'll start off with that scary black metal tape.
Let's start with the scary stuff.
All right, let's do that.
Have you ever acknowledged the fact that you're a sinner?
Have you ever come to God confessing your guilt? This, you know, is really repentance, and God commanded all men everywhere to repent and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
When I take my place before God as a self-confessed sinner, when I cease trying to hide or to cover my guilt, when I acknowledge that I'm just what God says I am,
lost and undone. I don't think I can hold back. I'm sorry. The battle Is Invaluable
Rise
From the ashes
And
On your own
The island of the
Swords FALL! Thank you. To leave a way to show Faith in what we've lost
Rise, the blood has shed

but days like your days,
because you're so high,
because you just hit the vaporizer.
Oh, hell yeah, brother.
That's so cool.
This is on Children of the Abyss,
which is a label run by Eli Wood,
who is a tattooer in Vermont.
Did you say tattooer?
Tattooer?
A tattooer?
Did you get this through the tattoo circuit?
I got this through the circuit.
That's so interesting to me
that sometimes you get your tapes
through the tape community,
but Joe B., you're a bit of a tattoo artist.
You get some of your tapes through
the tattoo community.
Which is a whole
different kind of community, but
then you bring these tapes
from the tattoo community into
the... No.
It's not meta.
It's symbiotic.
It's a synergy. It's synergy.'s symbiotic it's a synergy it's synergy so this is i believe he
told me this is a band that he was in i don't think he's currently in this band it looks like
these recordings were from 2010 and 2013 why are these tattoo artists tattooing the j cards
now is this is this vaporwave or what kind of genre? I believe this is the death metal.
Oh, death metal.
Yeah.
Death metal.
You're going all over.
You just had the drop-down menu.
It's metal, and then you clicked on it.
Yeah.
And you brought all of them.
Is it death metal or death metal?
Death metal.
Oh, death metal.
Death metal.
That's funny.
I'm doing it right now.
I'd put on a laughing case for that Oh you're too quick
Are you trying to text the group
Death Mattel?
Yes but I don't know how to spell Mattel
Is it two L's?
Well this is
So we draw this warrior woman
With a sword
She's fighting some sort of
What do you call these beasts?
These sea beasts
With all the eyes
And tentacles
Kraken? some sort of
cthulhu-esque kraken type creature there's a lot of eyeballs can't you tattoo types get like some
sort of like uh like leather pouch or something and tattoo it and put the tape in that i think
you can do all kinds of stuff these days whatever but i'm not i don't know i don't use leather uh
my friend no i know you don't but like what could
you do i have a leather jacket in the car you want me to put it on it's black
i just don't wear it in front of you guys but like i i see what i'm saying is there appears
like could you tattoo people uh-huh use your actual tattoo skills i don't answer questions
well let me get one out the Well, he did the drawing.
I know, and the drawing's beautiful.
It's awesome.
I love the drawing.
The drawing's great.
It's a gorgeous one.
He's a great drawer.
But what I'm saying is you have these other skills,
and could you use that?
Combine them?
You can't, actually.
You can't do it?
It turns out that you can't.
That's where you hit a brick wall.
Yep.
You can't do it.
I would just like to see that.
People have tried.
People have tried.
Maybe even one special edition of this tape,
the vaporizer, Days of High Adventure.
But he tattoos this picture,
a simplified version of it, on something else.
What could you tattoo it on?
I don't know.
Let me see this.
Could you tattoo it on a wallet?
A wallet.
And put the tape in the wallet?
You put the tape in the wallet.
And then you put the chain on it.
The chain.
Yeah, and then you just put it in your pocket
and you're walking around with your JNCOs on,
and somebody's like, do a kickflip.
Do a kickflip, and then your vaporizer tape falls out of your pocket.
So I don't know.
It doesn't list who's in vaporizer on this,
so I'm not sure if this is all Eli or if this is a band.
But he plays drums on the Grave Dust tape.
Oh, wow.
A little foreshadowing. Yeah. Oh, wow. A little foreshadowing.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Speaking of high adventure.
There you go.
Oh, and it's a green tape.
Top that.
It's green tape.
I'm going to try to top it with Vanity.
Give me some scaries for the record.
Ladies and gentlemen, Korn.
Vanity Angel, spotless victim.
Thank you, Jamie.
It took a little bit, but you finally got there.
Crippled sound records.
This is the debut Catholic power electronics duo, Vanity Angel.
And I've been saying this for a while.
Finally, the Catholics are getting involved in power electronics.
I've been saying, finally, get the Catholics involved.
Let them have their time.
Let them have some fun in the power electronics.
You got the Methodists and the Presbyterians and the Lutherans.
Let's get the Catholics in there.
This is Tim Umdenstock.
Umdenstock.
I'm assuming from the website umdenstock.com.
Oh, yeah.
Where you can buy all the furniture and stuff at a discounted price.
Oh, I like this paper on the inside.
It's like glitter, bluish, cornflower blue glitter paper.
It's a beautiful presentation.
It's in the tall box.
Umdenstock.

music yeah yeah yeah i also it's three lps well like, I'm looking, unless they're just showing you three records.
I mean, I'm guessing. I think it's at 16 RPM.
Okay.
Because also, it's like, it comes in this,
it's gorgeous.
Okay, it's gorgeous.
Yeah.
It's sold out.
Deluxe.
It's deluxe as shit.
Yeah.
It's sold out, so anything I'm saying doesn't mean,
everything I'm saying is dog food,
because it's sold out and it doesn't matter.
But, and it's gorgeous.
It looks, it's beautifully presented and it doesn't matter but and it's gorgeous it looks it's
beautifully presented to be dazzled but i'm looking at it and it's got a beautiful picture book
i feel like i've been seeing these same pictures for 25 years like i honestly i'm like yeah i saw
that flyer i saw that flyer on chris's bedroom wall like 10 years ago i saw like yeah the hell
nation flyer i saw that before. And I'm seeing pictures.
Like, I've seen that photograph before.
I've seen all these pictures before.
I feel like there are...
How many times are they going to repackage?
Am I going to get the...
Am I going to be an old man?
Hold on.
Wait.
Excuse me.
Am I going to be an old man
getting the 50-year anniversary of Youth Attack
on six LPs
and they're repackaging these same goddamn pictures
they only ever played five shows and they're like here's the show that we played at what's the
bowling alley in chicago fireside bowl with uh los crudos and and it's like yeah it's like now we
the flyer has a fuck we round cornered the flyer
it's yeah we fucking we have an embossing on it. We got it notarized.
That's expensive.
No, it's cool.
I would have bought this if I had $149.99.
Check out the nubs on this one.
Oh, Jamie.
Do you know what kind of nubs they are?
No, I don't.
I'm so excited.
Guess, guess, guess.
It's something I've never seen before.
I think so.
I think it's an odd number.
Are we doing nub talk?
I think there's five prongs.
Seven?
No, no, no.
Oh, three.
I feel like I've seen a three job before, but not a triangle.
A triangle.
An equilateral triangle.
An equilateral triangle, upside down.
Are we talking about the nubs in this tall box?
Yeah.
It's a blue vinyl tall box it's a
beautiful it's a beautiful presentation on this tape this vanity angel spotless victim tape that
one took my breath away it's a c23 it's an i believe edition of baby blue tape right sky
i i think on their band camp it says they did two different color shells there's some on black
there's some on black.
There's some on blue.
Oh, I like the blue one.
It goes with black.
Black might go with it.
I think they should have done a few on white.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
Please just let me just say they should have done.
I'm being a little bit of a grouch right now, but they should have done a few on white.
Yeah, then the real fans buy them all.
You make more money.
That's true.
You buy every color variant.
Well, they only did 35.
Let's see if they're still available.
Jamie, you should be checking this.
I forget who we were even talking about.
John Manchaccia?
Vanity.
Yes.
Vanity Angel, spotless victim on crippled sound records.
All that nub top.

It's like a collage.
Well, this is Ben Young and Marshall Abbott.

They've been doing the project.
They've been away for a bit.
But then one of them, I guess in a fever,
made this zine and was like,
you know, Ben, wake up.
It's Marshall.
You know that new zine I've been working on?
Well, listen to this.
Listen to this. And they just had to
make this. And they got this noise tape
that goes along with it where they
make skronky, dirty, junky
noisy stuff.
Junk metal? No, not junk metal.

it looks cool though it looks like it's gonna be like techno, right, Jamie?
It does look a bit EDM. Too scary!
EDM, yeah. That's what the kids, Gen Z
is calling it EDM. Maybe I. There might be an I.
Oh, IDM. I don't think that's IDM, though.
You don't. Yeah, it's not geometric
enough. This is the most unverified
episode of Tabs Out
I think we've ever had. You were just like
taking the shrink wrap off as
we go. This is on Linear Fade
Records. People
took two labels to put this out.
People Places Records.
And I know nothing about this.
Yeah, I think it's gonna sound like
that. It's kind of futuristic, but
like maybe
maybe the city's also kind of
dystopian in the
picture. There's the neon-type light,
and then a computer-type...
What font is that, Jamie?
I hope it's not papyrus.
It's not papyrus.
It's not papyrus.
What do you know about the...
It's like a retro kind of computer font.
I don't know.
It almost looks like NES.
NES-type font.
Yeah.
What do you know about the hand drums known as tabla?
Tabla.
It's like an Indian instrument, instrument right takes a lot of training
temporal waves is a new project from someone who brings the tabla to the rich electronic sound
world oh really i think i think i don't know what i think i think this is gonna be really good and
you just pick this out of the mail bag? Just picked it. You can do that?
Yep.
Wow.
So this might be pretty good.
I think this is going to be really good.
It's like a clear pinkish magenta tape.
Okay, hand it over here.
Is there a label name on it?
I said the both labels. Yeah, but I was getting this other information about the hand drums.
Yes, yes, yes.
Jesus Christ.
Linear Fade Records and People Pl hand drums. Yes, yes, yes. Jesus Christ. Linear fade records and people places records.
Okay.
Made in Canada.
God bless the queen.
What happens if they don't put Made in Canada on there?
I don't know, but all these tapes lately are made in Canada.
They're stealing our jobs.
I know, they are.
What happens if you make a tape somewhere?
Is this it?
No, it's just tabla music.
Oh, it's just tabla.
What happens if you make a tape and not in Canada and you put Made in Canada on it?
I don't know.
They come for your ass?
They come for you.
The temporal waves happen.
The Mounties come for your ass.
It's a beautiful instrument.
Yeah, it's good.
So knowing what you know now about the band.
I'd do it again.
I would do it again.
I just don't care.
You've always been a man who just hasn't given a shit.
Two shits.
I don't know.
I say made in the USA.
Well, God bless you.
It's full of musical instruments.
Do you think there's like a loophole?
Could you get a tape made in Canada?
Put made in Canada.
I thought we axed this bit.
And then underneath put made in the USA.
Yes, yes.
You can do that.
You can do that.
Yes.
All right.
You can do whatever you want. All right. You can do whatever you want.
All right, just checking.
So I'm going to follow up this Temporal Waves tape,
which, Joby, I don't know if you ever said what label it was on.
Oh, my God.
Two labels.
With this compilation tape from Styrofoam Records
called The Mixtape with No Shitty Song.
I'll blow that saxophone.
The Mixtape with No Shitty Songs. I'll blow that saxophone! The Mixtape with No Shitty Songs.
I'll be the judge of that.
Okay.
I meant to play this tape last time.
Didn't.
Didn't happen.
Label called my ass out on Instagram.
I love it when you do that.
Said, excuse me, did you get that package I sent you?
It had a Styrofoam records company.
Yeah, I got the fucking date, man.
But I was fucking blowing loud and kind of feeling generous.
And I was like, oh, shit, I forgot to play, dude.
Oh, man.
I was in my stag.
I was in my stag, bro.
You ran out of time.
Oh, dude.
Oh, man.
I was surfing the curl, bro.
I'll play it next time.
And now I'm locked in.
Now you're locked in.
You got to.
Maybe I won't play it.
Don't do it.
I'll get a bit of power from not playing it.
Don't name the artists.
Oh.
Yeah, that's how you can get the power over them.
That's the move.
God, not only does this one say manufactured in Canada, there's a huge fucking maple leaf
on the back.
What are the nubs?
What's the nub situation?
Oh, yeah.
Tell me the nubs.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's just not read it.
Yeah, yeah, never mind.
Or do you just want to say other stuff that's not on it?
Actually, I was thinking I was going to know somebody,
but I don't know anybody on this.
Jamie, why don't you play?
You got some clips from it.
Play something that's on it right now.
Oh, I like this one.
All right, play another track.
All right, that's pretty good.
And you have a list.
There's some people that list some people
that are on the cup, right?
I thought we weren't going to do that.
No, but don't you have a list of some
that people list some people on it?
I don't know what I'm supposed to.
I'm sorry.
Don't you have a sample right now?
No, don't you have like a bunch of clips of people saying
like, ladies and gentlemen, here's the people
on this tape. I have a few of those. Yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Faith No More!
Ladies and gentlemen, the Doobie Brothers!
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you
Aerosmith!
Is that Christopher Walken?
Very good.
All right, so I'll play the first track on the Styrofoam Records.
A mixtape with no shitty songs.
Congratulations, you bullied me into playing it.
I'm not going to say what track I'm playing.
Figure it out on your own.
It probably says it somewhere on the website, though.
Yeah.
All right, as for me... Well, Joe B., you didn't mention
there's a little star on the window.
Oh, sorry. I didn't mention the star. It's also...
I don't think it's a hard window. It's a soft window. There's just
a lot of tape in there. Let me see. It's a very
soft window. It's a soft window? There's just a lot of tape
in there.
Oh, you're totally right. I'm totally
right, yeah. It's a crinkle window. It's a crinkle
window.
Son of a bitch. Yeah, maybe
we shouldn't play it.
Alright, I'm very excited to play this next tape for you guys.
He's Canadian. This is the one?
Well, I've kind of been doing a little series
lately for tapes from my grandfather. Jamie,
please. We did Don Joe. Don Joe. A little bit of organ music.
And then last week we did the Tony DeNicola
band. DeNicola band, which was a little bit
When You're Smiling. DeNicola.
DeNicola.
And this
week we got Tony Batoni.
Tony Batoni.
Tony Batoni.
Tony Batoni.
I kind of alluded to this last time.
The A side's comedy and the B side is music.
Pop music. Pop.
It's called Two Sides. He's got two sides.
He looks like, you know, it's very 90s looking. He's got two sides. He looks like, you know, it's very 90s looking.
He's got some action in the back.
He looks like a mixture between John Stamos and Joe Pesci.
Yeah.
And, I mean, the comedy is kind of what you expect.
It kind of sounds like Las Vegas.
Like, he's trying to do a little Rodney Dangerfield.
He does quick one line.
He's talking about his kid.
I don't get no respect.
His kid just has his VCRs and his Nintendos.
Oh, these kids.
That's not a joke.
That's true.
Yeah.
And I'm not sure.
Maybe some of the jokes might be a little dated,
but we won't edit them because really we don't.
What are you getting into here?
Well, here at Tabs Out,
the tapes we play do not express our individual views.
It's just we're playing them almost as a historical.
It's a historical thing.
Yeah, so we're going to preserve history here.
What is on this tape?
I don't know.
Yeah, well, Mike might edit it out.
I might edit it out.
Because he's a snowflake.
I always edit out one minute from every episode.
Live at the Princess Casino, Freeport, Bahamas.
Yes.
This is a guy you would see when on vacation,
and he'd be playing at your resort.
He just thought, man, I nailed that set.
In the Bahamas, yeah.
The Bahamas set was sick.
That set was so sick.
He did AC, he did Vegas, but the Bahamas set was something special about it.
Something in the water.
I need people, I need to record it and put this out.
Yeah.
Yeah, he needs to make a cassette tape of it.
Yeah.
So he's showing up at the resort and he's like i got tapes
for sale in the back this one's cool jamie because it's this is like a real yeah the other ones aren't
real and he's from new jersey too which is kind of this is like on a label kind of oh is it well
blank tape studios so maybe at the time uh-huh you kind of paid them to yeah is this like a thing
where he would go to like a mall and he would get like 20 made?
It looks more professional than that.
It looks like something you buy at a goodie.
At the time, in the 80s and 90s,
you go to a mall in New Jersey
and you go into a booth.
You go to the Paramus Mall.
You go to the Paramus Mall and you go into some kind of booth.
It'd be like, make a tape today.
Well, no. Well, maybe.
$20.
This is Black Tape Studios, Pompano Beach, Florida, it'd be like make a tape today well no well maybe 20 studios uh pompano beach florida
manufactured and printed disc makers new jersey us oh pensauken pensauken before they were making
cds maybe or maybe right oh okay this is taking me back this is like a legit it's taking a lot
of our listeners i wonder did your grandfather, did your grandfather know Tony Batoni?
And this is one that I didn't grab.
You remember I was saying I got one from his desk?
This is one my parents one day just dropped off a bunch of tapes and CDs.
Okay.
But I'm almost positive this is from their house, because I don't think this is something my parents would own.
Right.
Is your grandfather still with us?
No, he died in 2017.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
I want to thank him for everything he did in the war.
Yeah.
Okay.
How many more tapes do you have from him?
I think I'm going to cap it with this one.
I have a lot more tapes, but it's like Benny Goodman's greatest hits.
Count Basie live at the...
God, look at his haircut.
Yeah, he's got some action in the back.
It was the 90s
yeah christ man this oh i see what you mean but when you say it's a real tape joe like
it's the classic shell with the actual printing on the shell yeah this is like a real tape not
just those other ones were kind of very oh and this is 95 they had a handmade quality that old
yeah yeah but they were still traveling in 95 they were still going so i'm guessing they got
this from Atlantic
City or something.
They used to like to
go there.
So yeah, he was
probably killing that
night.
They went to his
merch table.
They bought a tape.
And now we got it.
We're playing it on
the show.
I wonder if they
ever listen to it.
You know, that's a
good question.
Yeah.
Or if this was just
kind of a souvenir
that got bought.
I'm guessing it got very little play time.
Very little play.
Tony Batoni is an entertainer.
He does some comedy and he does music.
Song and dance.
And just like me, I identify as an entertainer.
I do comedy and I do music.
Jamie, please.
So it's like we're carrying the torch in many ways.
Tell us a joke, Jamie.
Tell us a joke.
The only joke I know about is **** and I'm not going to say it on the show you can't say jokes i think the time
has come i think you can now and i think i discovered the one minute i'll be cutting out
all right never mind all right so you want to play something from both sides of this yeah we'll start out with a little comedy and then we'll do um that's life on the b side for sin so you're gonna play something from both sides of this
yeah we'll start
out with a little
comedy and then
we'll do
that's life
on the B side
for Sinatra
you're gonna start
off with the comedy
and end with the song
because it's on the
A side
no good
no that works
it's good
Jamie whatever
you want to do
whatever your dumb
ass wants to do
as soon as it starts
getting a little racist

I don't do that anymore
I've reached the sweet age
And now I know what it was all for
If I can't outlive a Tuesday, I'd say I can't do anything.
I could call this a vial everlasting, or I could go to bed

Dr. Maybelline, I said my best was good enough and I did that So I should quit while I'm ahead
Three forward and never again back
I took the shots
Well, I didn't cry

I can do anything
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Casbah Theater.
Please welcome the comedy star of our show, Tony Batoni.
How many people from up in Chicago area? Yeah, good, a lot of Chicago. Chicago's a great
town. I love the word there, I really do. The wind blows over the lakes though, man,
it's cold. How cold, I tell you, the first time I was there I realized I had nipples.
That's cold. That's cold up in Chicago. My uncle used to work up there, Uncle Cheech, during the Prohibition time.
He did.
He was a tail gunner on a beer truck.
He was unbelievable.
Maybe you know my Uncle Cheech up there.
Anybody from New York?
Yeah, right here.
I'll let you fill it on.
Stick them up.
New York.
Isn't it nice having a drink, relaxing, knowing that your apartment's getting robbed right now?
How about the South? We got anybody from the South?
Hi y'all. I love the girls when they talk. All the girls, hi y'all.
I love it, I love it. They talk like they have syrup caught in their throat.
They can say anything to me and I'll dude. They say, go to hell.
And I want to go.
Where's hell?
What I say about southern women,
they talk so slow. Before they say no,
they're all the way home saying, oh my lord,
what have I done?
I'd love to keep it up.
But we covered everybody.
New York's great, though. I work a lot.
I live there a lot, you know. A lot of times in and out of the city doing conventions. But we covered everybody. New York's great though. I work a lot. I live there a lot.
You know, a lot of times in and out of the city doing conventions. But you know, it's getting bad all over. You know, I took the subway. I got off at 40th Street. Guy had a gun. He said,
stick him up. Give me all your money. I said, you're too late. I already gave him on 30th Street.
It's tough all over. Even the thieves are having it tough. The guy robbed a bank on the way to
get away car was gone. You think they stick together. I was down in Miami
trying to get in my car so was somebody else. I said what do you think you're doing? He says I'm
taking your car buddy. I says no you're not. I got the club. He says hell that ain't going to stop me.
Well no I took it out of my jacket and I hit him in the head with it.
Longs in your hand to hell with the steering wheel, you know what I'm saying?
That's life.
That's what people say.
You're flying
high in April,
shot down in May. But I'm't let it get me down. keep on spinning around. I've been a pulper, a pulper, a pirate, a poet,
a pawn and a cane.
I've been up and down, over and out,
and I'm gonna say one thing.
Now each time I find myself laying flat on my face,
I pick myself up
and I get back in the race
That's life
And I won't deny it
I thought of quitting
But my heart just won't buy it
And if things don't come shakin' this here July I'll just roll myself up in a great big round ball and die
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn, and so many things
I've been up and down, over and out, and I'm gonna say one thing, hey baby, now
Each time I find myself just, just myself just laying there flat on my face, well I kinda pick myself up and I get back, back in the race. I'd rather quitting, but my heart just won't buy it
And if things don't come shaking coming around this here July
I'll kinda roll myself up in a great big round ball
Hey baby, I'll kinda get myself up grilled up in this little ball
I'll kinda roll myself up in this little ball I'll kind of roll myself up
In a great big round ball
And die
Bye-bye!
