Did someone open or was it just an evening with your band?
Well, we had somebody open.
Actually, it's a good segue into the final tape we want to play in this episode. Oh, I'd love to hear the segue.

And she opened for us. That cool wow there was it what was the crowd like the crowd was pretty
good i mean i didn't see you guys there but uh well the place i don't really support that kind
of music i was i'm very short and the place was packed yeah yeah but it was it was it was it was
a crowd it was a crowd certainly that's that's that's fun so how much did we get paid did you get paid good money well it was all for charity we raised
eight thousand dollars for charity that's so exciting for what charity trump vance
a friend of ours go fund me uh guy with brain cancer oh man yeah that's nice well after like
you did that yeah after being like in the cassette
bozo noise scene for a few years now did you think like i can't go back like now that i got a taste
of like real music because this is like a real band that you were in right from your youth have
have the other members of the band are we not saying the band on purpose oh yeah the band's
omni soul have them ever members of
omni soul seen footage of your set where you played the tarp no okay no but i have sent them
a couple more palatable uh oh okay that's okay and what do you play the drums no the keyboards
joe b that was a joke that was a joke okay sorry i can't pick up on sarcasm i know that's why i do
it to you like that's why i do it really dry, because I know you don't get it.
Did you think while you're up there playing, because what genre of music is this?
Yeah, what would you call?
It's like rock, but-
It's a rock band, right?
But not like hard rock.
It's mid-2000s radio-friendly pop rock music.
Yeah.
Well, did you ever have the feeling when you were up there with your keyboard, like, I
can frigging throw some settings on this? did a little bit put it through an an effects
pedal yeah i did some a little bit more abrasive things than i used to do back then i i did a
little stinky stuff oh all right there but i'm not too much you know i try not to go too crazy
yeah yeah but what do you play again a whirlitzer i thoughtitzer? I thought you were going to say the drums Kurzweil
You were sponsored, right?
I was
Talking about me a whole lot
What, Jamie? I haven't seen you
Sometimes you're hard to get information out of
It was a lot of preparation
I had to learn 20 songs for this show
You guys played 20 songs?
We played for like an hour and a half
An hour and a half an hour
and a half yeah was there an encore yeah we had a two-song encore yeah well well how long between
ending the set walking off stage till you came back oh you know it's funny wait wait what's the
question how long until that's over thank you everybody we're fucking omni so you thank you fucking
and then they walk off okay and then the crowd's like oh you will say you what is the how long did
that happen before they came back on and played two more songs probably one minute because we
went to the green like i said there was a crowd but it wasn't like there there wasn't like a huge
like it wasn't a sold-out show but it was enough people. People were screaming and yelling and stuff.
And then we were in the green room.
And then we heard it start to go down.
And then we're like, we got to go back out.
Yeah, now it's time.
I got to ask you about the green room, Jamie.
Yeah, me too.
I was just about to ask about the green room.
Is it green?
Is it green?
You know what they say about car accidents that you never remember the color of the car?
It's always close to your house.
I don't remember the color. Oh, yeah, it always close to your house. I don't remember the color.
Yeah, it's close to your house, too.
That's a good statistic.
So you live near the green room?
That's why they call it that?
Yeah.
I guess.
I don't know if it was green.
I got pictures.
I'll show you a lot of pictures afterwards.
No, thank you.
It's all right, Jamie.
I'm getting it all right now.
Awesome.
All right, let's play a tape.
Enough about Jamie.
Wake me up! Jamie, you can go first. You guys want something break me jamie you can go you guys want something hot yeah you can go first bring us can we cut all that out i want to cut all that out
why you can edit it no no no joe doesn't like when you don't hate it when you edit yeah but
he doesn't listen so it doesn't matter it doesn't matter i'm not actually even on the show but it's
on spotify now you should listen to it i know i know all right don't tell me what
i like how let's just like we'll start it off now just by saying how you said that something that
was said is a good segue to the last tape we're playing right it'll be yeah there'll be a call
okay there you go i just want to say real quick i'm pretty i'm not a smart guy okay
raised on the streets first in my family to go to school i don't think i think
segways it goes right into it i don't think there's an entire podcast before you get to it
so segue this is a long word foreshadowing there's gonna be a callback or foreshadowing
that's a literary term okay here we go what's the last book you read
um stop talking about jay last book book I read was Actually it's a segue
And I'm not even kidding
It's a segue to the last tape I'm playing
I'll talk about both of those things
The girl from The Voice and the book that I read
And then the guy on the tape
I'd love to hear about it
This is all three things
Now you gotta listen to the whole show

I don't know Hot Releases.
Hot Releases.

North Carolina.
North Cackalack.
Is it a label from North Carolina?
It is.
I knew that.
And the band Bad Trips
recently just played Delaware. Oh, yeah.
Mike and Dave opened that show.
The PA cut out during your set, but it was
a wonderful set. It was rigged.
Someone time-rigged the PA so it would go off
as soon as the downbeat
came in. And everybody
was about ready to explode and be like,
Mike and Dave! Mike and dave mike and it just went
out but this is a this is a new one by bad trips did i did i mention bad trips bad trips bad trips
they just played bad trips on what hot releases hot releases north carolina yeah you mentioned
on the soul reunion show and um so anyway we're done with that jamie conrad can't say yes stop
bringing up omnioul The entire episode
It's a minimal design
And the shell color is gorgeous
It reminds me of like Legos
For some reason
There used to be Legos
With that same tint
And also the Alice in Chains
Self-titled
This tint or this tint?
That tint
On the shell
The yellow tint on the shell
Yeah
Anyway
Yeah, was Alice in Chains
Like the first band
That had like a colored
Tinted jewel case
On their CD? It must be, yeah That's the only one i can when you said that i thought oh yeah
that jewel case was yellow i think there was like a punk-a-rama cd with a tinted jewel case too
that's no no it doesn't sound right i think alice in chains was the only one they're only one
bad trips is a trio from new york you failed to mention that right a tree i was going to name
them name them from memory conrad cam oh. Conrad Cam. Oh, my God.
From memory?
David Drucker.
He's got this written down in front of him.
Andy Borscht.
Yep.
Cool dudes.
Hung out with them a while before the show.
You're so cool.
And Conrad was sporting a Telecult Powers shirt.
I saw that.
It was awesome.
I got there at the very end.
I didn't see anything.
Old school.
Kicking it old school.
What is this?
The Stranger Things font on the shelf? I i think it might be you can't just use that
this looks tight though i do like the blue paper with the blue uh naroko case
and i wish the tape was blue what is there's a scary face i was waiting for you to see it so
you get scared i love this scary face where's the scary scary face? I didn't see it. You didn't see it? No. You own the tape? I own it.
It's very hard to see because the cover.
Oh.
Ooh.
Very dark.
Boo, boo, boo.
But you see some eyes and some sharp teeth coming out.
It's very scary.
Very scary.
And what is this, a tour tape?
I'm not quite sure, but it's so hot right now that it's not even on the band camp yet,
and it's not on Discox.
I bet you're losing your mind.
Yeah.
The night he came home.
Have you texted him about it yet?
No.
Or sent an email?
No, I'll probably put it on Discogs in the coming weeks, if it's not on there.
I figure you would have texted Discogs by now.
Texted Discogs.
Dear Discogs, Jamie again.
Am I being detained?
You've probably been wondering where I've been.
Well, I doubt they've been wondering, because he's constantly there.
Yeah, he is. It's disgusting, and everyone hates it another message from me another message from old jamie orlando here hot off an omni-soul reunion show noticed you haven't updated
i noticed you have not updated the omni soul page to include our recent reunion show okay here we go
okay cool bad trips that would be a pretty good website it's like discogs but shows
what do you mean so you'd search uh bad religion and it listed every show they've ever played oh
that's gotta exist right yeah yeah does that exist i think that's setlist.fm setlist.fm
that's right that soundsfm That sounds fake
Let me look that up
Do I have to look that up on your wifi here?
Yeah setlist.fm
The setlist wiki
You can look up Mr. Bungle
They got all the Mr. Bungle setlists
That sounds like you've been doing that a lot
It seems like you already knew that
I think you just went to a
A bookmark yeah
actually the tab's already open what do you guys want to 1995 that was the golden year for bungle
at the fillmore setlist.com yeah setlist.fm slash mr bungle is his home love on the event horizon
cold war by a siege chemical marriage violenza. Okay, Joe B. So he's playing
this Bad Trips tape.
Yeah,
right.
Are they still on tour
right now,
by the way?
I'm not sure.
Or was it kind of
like a short little...
At this point,
it was 13 days ago,
so...
We're just fucking around
and doing a little
fuck walk up the East Coast.
Name me,
Matt's got all
fucking bloody
synthesizers.
We're going to take
a little fuck walk
up the East Coast.
Wait, Me and me mates got our fucking bloody synthesizers. We're going to take a little fuck walk up the Haste. No, their set was tight, though.
You know what's funny about their set is like, no, there's a drummer, a guitar player.
Hold on, sorry.
And a bass player.
You know what's funny about their set?
What?
There's a what?
Guitar player, a drum player, and a bass player.
Oh, so they're a rock band.
But it was not rock music. Jamie plays drums, right?
It wasn't. You play drums, right?
I do play drums.
I know you play every instrument, Jamie. You're saying it was not
rocking? It wasn't rock. Goodbye.
Was it skronk? No, it wasn't even
skronking. It was more like... Ska.
No, it wasn't ska.
Were they doing that a bunch?
No, it was more like just...
Oh, their circles?
Yeah, it was kind of like that.
It was kind of like this, too.
Oh, that was good.
All right, so if you're playing that Bad Trips tape,
Joby, I see you're holding a tape,
and one of the people in that band was at the show.
I know, that's why I'm playing it.
It's called a Segway.
Now, this is a Segway.
Joby's not like, I got a Segway for something I'm going to play
in two episodes.
Three years from now.
It's a time capsule.
That's a time capsule, Jamie.
Look at all that. I'm going to play
this Indigo
Ranch. Very cool.
Love or perish. Indigo Ranch
is a duo of Emily
Eichelberger and John
Pyle. John Pyle was at the show.
Delaware alumni.
If you go back in the archives, you'll hear some Tabs
Out episodes. He's been on the show.
Friend of the show.
Big friend of the show.
Yeah.
Now, that's another...
Is that a rock band?
I think they might be a rock band.
Guitar, vocals, drum machine, bass, drum machine.
They're outsourcing their drums to a friggin' Boston Dynamics, I guess.
Got one of those fuckin' dog robots.
You try forming a band in Biden's America.
You find me a drummer.
What is the Indigo Ranch?
What is the...
Well, probably gross.
Without looking that up, is that like something...
You put it on private mode, Jamie.
I'm assuming it's like something where like...
I bet it's...
A cult lived there or something.
Maybe it's sketchy.
I'm asking.
It's something...
Look that up.
What is an Indigo...
Indigo Ranch typically refers to a property or community with a name that evokes a sense
of tranquility and connection to nature.
Oh, that's cute.
That's not what I thought it was going to be.
Search indigo ranch World War II.
Or search like indigo ranch dangerous masturbation.
No, no.
Dangerous masturbation.
No, all jokes aside.
I guess this is self-released. that correct mike it looks like it or like um
because john pile has like a couple of labels yeah he's got so many labels these days
but this doesn't have any um there's no markings no markings no i don't see any
ruins i failed my history check give me a um give me an arcana roll all right we need to
have a sound clip of dice rolling
before we do that.
I would rather die than do that.
I would rather die than do that.
So this is from...
Jamie doesn't like dice.
It's gambling, and he doesn't gamble.
This tape is from like a few years ago, right?
Oh, well, I'm not sure.
I think you're right about that.
I thought it was brand new,
because I didn't have it.
No, I didn't have it either.
All this says is that one of the songs, songs written by Emily Eichelberger, recorded, mixed,
and mastered by John Pyle.
One of the songs, there's an asterisk, Good Bye Horses, written by William Garvey, April
2021, Philadelphia.
Okay.
I got no information to add to that.
I think you stole my pinky.
That's all I got.
They were really good live, though.
I liked it.
Very Discogs. Very dreamy.
They had the visuals going.
If you're in Philadelphia.
I'm not a visual guy.
Minimal.
It was cold.
It was moody.
It was kind of like being on an indigo ranch in some ways.
Oh, indigo ranch.
So what is this?
A self-title tape, you said?
Or no.
Love or Perish.
It was so long ago when you said that.
Yeah. I mean, you don't really listen to me. Wellish. It was so long ago when you said that. Yeah.
You don't really listen to me.
Well, now I need to find one.
No one listens to me.
So there's bad...
Jamie never listens to me.
I'm always doing a lot of things at once.
You know what?
I think I can...
You're right.
Everyone does lots of things.
I think I can go in with two of these that fits this whole...
The vibe, to use the parlance of the times.
So there's Bad Trips.
Yeah.
Indigo Ranch.
Indigo Ranch.
Two words.
Yellow Swans.
Yellow Swans.
Yellow Swans.
Yellow Swans.
Yellow Swans.
It's not D something Yellow Swans.

Dreamed yellow swans.
Die yellow swans.
Dusk yellow swans.
Drowned yellow swans.
Swans.
It still doesn't sound right to me.
It still doesn't sound right to me.
Yeah, I don't know.

It doesn't really say that, does it?
That's definitely true.

Yeah, the castees
I don't want to be free
And the award for best
Mid-block bit
Goes to
You gotta give me some reverb
Now presenting for the castees
Jamie's mom
Hi
Alright, oh, I wanted to play that the castees, Jamie's mom. Hi.
Alright, oh, I wanted to play that Yellow Swans YouTube thing. Actually, I think
Jamie's mom's accepting the award.
Jamie Orlando couldn't be here
tonight, accepting the award on his behalf.
Jamie's mom.
What's that sound? Hold on, I gotta find where they are
in this video. Who? Yellow Swans. I thought I had it queued up to their conversation. Let's just start from the on, I've got to find where they are in this video.
Who?
Oh, Yellow Swans.
I thought I had it queued up to their conversation.
Let's just start from the beginning.
I haven't seen it in a while.
Put it in there.
I don't even know if this is the part.
Maybe I'll do this later.
Do it later.
I'll do it later.
This is a segue.
I admitted this on the break, but I had never heard Yellow Swans before.
That was my first.
I had heard of them. I thought you were ahead.
But I never heard them, and that was not what i expected them to sound like is that what they
all their stuff sounds like all their stuff sounds exactly like that you can't tell it
at all i have a sample for that after a while they all start to sound the same yeah
i'm sure no one would be upset at all if we just said that through the immense yellow swans catalog it all sounds exactly this like that yeah
no that's cool i like when uh people go through the archives they hone their craft like acdc you
don't want them to sound different no no no this is just like acdc yeah have you ever seen that
little i'm not going to talk about it in length but that that little clip of rick rubin talking
about working with acdc no how it took them like they would just sit around smoke cigarettes and talk for like an hour and then
they kept he'd be like let's go and then they'd be like oh one more minute mate studio time's
expensive and then they would just do it okay like perfect they're a great band yeah hold on
let me see if this is the yellow swan singer here you ready your system is like a gigantic systemic network that
that informs itself constantly and every sound that we put in there um not only do you have
that sound but you have everything i want to say right now in the background the other guy in the
band visibly frustrated okay that is reacting to that sound i mean you pretentious douche what are
you talking oh i've seen this yeah right but it doesn't necessarily have to that sound. You pretentious douche. What are you talking about? Oh, I've seen this, yeah.
Right, but it doesn't necessarily have to.
That's the thing.
There's nuance control,
but I don't think it ever stops
being a feedback loop on some level.
No, it does.
It does.
There's total control.
No, because I would say that even
at a minimum, energetically,
there is this constant chain of events
that leads to a new creation of sound.
Not necessarily.
It doesn't have to be.
No, but there is.
Absolutely there is.
Not at all.
Absolutely there is.
Okay, that's the best conversation
two noise people have ever had.
And they're in the same band.
Yeah, and there's...
The one dude's like,
no, I can do this again.
And I feel like...
Total control. It's not a feedback loop. It's just same band. Yeah. And there's the one dude's like, no, I can do this again. And I feel like total control.
It's not a feedback loop.
It's just constant a stream.
Yeah.
If you're going to be a noise duo, that is the energy you need to bring.
Yeah.
Just constant.
You're at each other.
Yeah.
Disagreeing about everything.
I love it.
People who do noise.
That's what that's from.
If anyone wants to look it up.
All right.
Next block.
Who wants to go?
I'll go.
I'm going to play this tape
just straight out the mailbag.
Know nothing about it.
You're doing another one of those, right?
Yeah.
That always scares the shit out of me
when you grab these mailbags
because a lot,
I would say like 60% of the stuff
that comes in.
Yeah, well, this is from anal torture.
It's not really, is it?
No, no.
This is a segue from Jamie. I don't know if he talked about this on air or not. This band No no This is a This is a segue from Jamie
I don't know if he talked about this on air or not
This band
The group is called Lighter
And the tape's called Massage
Oh
On Crash Cymbals
Look at this crispy chicken
Okay
Nice
Oh it's so hot
Hot off the presses
Hot off the presses
Lighter is Camilla Paget Coles
Oh yeah yeah
Maya Ibar
You know who this is?
Yeah because
And Borsha Al-Sandi
I know that name from Galta
From Galta
My label
Oh sorry
Not my label
The label that you
I'm a fanboy of
The label you can't shut the hell up
Whose label is it Jamie?
To say
David Lackner
Jesus Christ
If I would have known that
I wouldn't have played this
So are these
Is this a
Jazz head here? I don't know what this So are these Is this a Jazz heads here
I don't know what's going on
I think Camilla plays
Like singing bowls and stuff
At least on the record
That I have
Okay
Interesting
And this is
You said it's a trio
Trio
Three people
Three people
And that's all I got
That's all I know
Yeah because you literally
Just took like
You opened it up
Well you know
With crash cymbals.
Crash cymbals always hits.
Get out of here.
It always hits.
I'm only playing it to get listens.
I don't know why Jamie's not doing the crash cymbals bit that we always do.
Oh, yeah.
I have too many soundboards now.
It's hard for me to find things.
Yep.
It's overwhelming.
I got my Jordan Peterson soundboard.
Ooh, it's good.
Let me ask you, Jordan Peterson.
How did you know they were called lighter in the table's massage?
Just because lighter's to the left, and that's how I read left to right.
But you're guessing?
It's not a guess.
Oh, no, it says lighter is.
It's not a guess.
Yeah, it's a calculated assumption.
No, I want to point out that on the cover, it just says lighter massage,
and I would maybe even think maybe the band is called lighter massage.
It's not.
It's not.
No, because lighter's at the top, and massage's in a different font, and it's smaller. Why would you put the band is called lighter massage no it's not it's not lighters at the top and massages in a
different font and it's smaller if why would you put the band name smaller the band name you want
big up front the guitar player you know i mean okay all right you're right you don't know anything
about rock i don't well also the aesthetics i don't really know much about aesthetics
that's what i'm playing jamie you play a tape later massage do i get to go next yeah because
james because mike's gonna play five after this all right you play a tape. Later massage. Do I get to go next? Yeah, because Mike's going to play five after this.
All right, I got a tape here.
What I got about?
On a French label.
Oh, nope.
A freedom label?
Freedom label.
We've played this label before.
It's called Soon.
Actually, I have the pronunciation here.
Spell it.
And I was DMing the label guy this morning.
Oh my God, I'm sure you were.
There's a lot of themes. Yeah, you want to read? You can come over and read it read your text hi this is jamie orlando from
tabs out here's the pronunciation just bought a tape on your label soon saw it wasn't oh wait
soon soon soon soon is this it's it's a danish, but it's a French label.
And the label head is Francesco Ameglio.
Francesco Ameglio.
Which does not sound like a French name. That doesn't sound like a French name.
Wow, international stuff.
The Olympics just happened, and this is feeling very...
That sounds Spanish?
I don't know.
Like from Spain?
It's an international, but...
What about Italian?
It could be Italian.
That would be my guess.
You guess Italian.
Or Spanish.
That's what I said, from Spain.
Oh, it's from Spain. Well, I didn't know that. Well, I said it, Jamie. This is another example. You don't fucking guess. You would guess Italian. Or Spanish. That's what I said, from Spain. That's what I'm saying.
Well, I didn't know that.
Well, I said it, Jamie.
This is another example.
You don't fucking listen to me when I talk.
But it's an international theme, but a local artist.
William Fields, our good friend Bill Fields.
World music.
Am I allowed to just call him Bill Fields on the show?
I don't know.
It says William Fields on the thing.
I mean, it shows a little bit of respect.
Bleed that out.
Yeah. I don't know. It says William Fields on the thing. It shows a little bit of respect.
If you want to, you can awkwardly text him and ask him
information about himself
like you tend to do with some of these artists.
What? Red tape.
Nothing on it. No label or anything.
You gotta put something on it.
You gotta put something. Sorry.
Not playing it.
You know what scares me?
What's this? a variation of the
brad pack this like paper pack that it comes in this die it's a chad chad pack oh it's a chad pack
is that really what it's called no i've just made that up is this like a custom thing because it's
got a little like nub in the back yeah people were like with their like paper covers for their tapes
they were like it opens up too easily so they added this like little security measure so you couldn't get in there now these my grandfather invented that it's a
security measure these paper things always they always make me afraid because like if it gets
wet or something then the whole thing's shot yeah yeah that could happen yeah then the whole thing
shot but i also i like uh when a label like that segues into our
sponsor for today's episode paper no it's a spray that you put on paper so it doesn't get wet oh
like yeah you know what i do with all these paper cases for cassette tapes i laminate them right
away i get a five mil lamination on there right away uh it's a museum grade kind of protection buck gooter yeah uh the the the one
dude um now i can't remember his name but uh he would always laminate all his art like drawings
oh really you have to keep him safe okay well i bet it worked yeah i bet i kept it safe now joe
b what's his name terry turtle terry turtle peace Terry Turtle Now Joe B being as someone who you love
Dissecting like the nubs
Oh I didn't even look at the nubs
Well there are nubs
Yeah that's what I'm getting at
So how do you feel about that
Well that doesn't even concern me
What if the tape jiggles around a little bit too much in the paper case
You need the nubs to hold
I don't spend any brain power on paper packaging sorry
i'm a nub guy can i can i talk about william fields i didn't talk about any of these nubs
from the previous tapes you talk about bill fields i need to investigate these i mean i'll let you
know what i find just for our listeners sake talk about bill phil uh william william fields
show an ounce of respect sometimes first i'm going to talk about myself oh god so when i was in omni soul
jamie well please he was one of the first experimental artists i played even before i
played with any of you guys i played with beck fields jamie i've been doing experimental music
since no good yeah you played with that field i went to his house and we jammed and did yeah
and we made a little recording with that we never released it but um he at it was at the very
beginning of like his current music system now so he's developed with using like code and everything and reaper
and a lot of programming knowledge he's made his own music system that he the little sliders that
you saw him use on stage the other day the controller device yeah like he used to have
that on an ipad but now he has it on a hardware device but that controls it doesn't control like filters it controls randomness okay so his his
whole system is based on like different levels of entropy and randomness he's so random it's so
random does he know you can just go like hey siri play music yeah and it'll just do it you don't
have to do all that shit and uh he um he's a smart guy he released a 24 hour um i build pretty good release on band
camp that it's just generative so it's every hour is a different style of generative music where he
just hit hit play on his music system and let it just i can do that jamie compose a thing and it
got so much attention that um he was on richard divine's podcast richard divine richard divine
warped warped synth guyped. Synth guy.
Singular warp.
Big time guy.
Warped.
Warped.
He's got some respect
in the industry.
He does.
It's cool to have him
in Delaware
and it was cool
that he played
the other night
with a label mate,
Matthew Riles.
Matthew Riles.
Another segue.
Another new tape
on Svun.
Svun.
You can just go like,
hey Siri,
play a version
of Wake Me Up.
Wake me up! Thank you Siri. Thank thank you sir and it's done that's
like you just triggered siri on my phone when you said that by the way what's my phone doing very
funny all right i'll play some tapes here william fields what do y'all know you know what i got one
that's also in kind of in a paper case oh look at you so maybe i'll play that this is like it's called the tape is called farming by a duo i got
some sounds for that there you go farming duo of mcclure and white are their names it's limited to
29 on a label called long arm artifacts and it's like okay it's not this but this is what it made
me think of you know joe b you know when you'll bring like a tape like a dungeon synth adjacent
tape that's like a game that you play it's like an rpg yeah okay so you know how in the gaming world
there are like dry games about like agriculture and stuff yeah dave plays those yeah listening to this tape
makes me feel it's the equivalent of when you listen to a dungeon synth tape and you think of
an rpg you think about going into a cave and like yeah and it's like battling a troll an orc emerges
from the smoke so this evokes farming this evokes this makes me think of someone is like reading you
the rules and you're about like they got all the game is spread out
in front of you. It's like. And they're like it's really easy.
It looks. It's really easy. It's like
a resource management.
Yes.
This tape makes me feel like
the way that a dungeon synth tape makes you
feel like you're playing Dungeons and Dragons.
This makes me feel like you're playing
a dry game called farming.
Yeah.
No.
Not farting and like i said limited to 29 uh the cover itself while i i would believe that this could be one of
the cards from the game what's this an o card it's like a paper o card and yeah this is the
this is the cover hey that's the cover and it
comes with this insert that you fold out and like there's the pieces invocative of like pieces of a
game oh yeah but you'll get what i mean when we play it i'm gonna spend five weeks to upgrade my
yeah yeah upgrade my tractor and now i produce two more wheats for every sector there you go
yes it'll make you feel like that It'll make you feel like that.
It'll make you feel like you're playing a game like that.
Well, I'm going to play Blight,
and that cancels your two wheats.
Well, I've planted winter wheat, which can't...
Uh-oh, a locust swarm.
My sorghum will...
Sorghum.
Okay.
So, now, Jamie, let me show your little...
Let's write this game.
Yeah.
I'm amped to play. I'm going to show your little let's write this game yeah i'm just a half way up to
play i'm gonna show your little sweaty flat ass how to do a segue so that's farming and then i'm
gonna play a tape of corn synth corn synth this is corn synth by i guess i don't speak french
matt rubidow matt rubidow that's another familiar sounding name why do i. Why do we know that name? Matt Rubidow.
I don't know why we know it. Is he a cat?
I mean, you could look it up right now.
So why is this called corn synth?
I didn't completely get to the bottom of that,
but I think all the stuff that this person does
is classified as corn synth.
Okay, because it doesn't say it anywhere on the tape.
They've put out stuff on Null Zone, Already Dead,
Kendra Steiner Editions.
This is the genre of music that they play.
I guess the genre of music is corn synth.
I think they're the only ones doing it, and I don't know.
Oh, I have.
And it's called Matt Robodeau, but it's more than one person?
No, I think it's just that person.
No, there's three people on the back here.
Are they, like, helping?
Are they, like, any?
It's hard to read
the text because it's like green it looks cool any ivory black midi accordion chuck
johnson pedals the old guitar matt norman plays the baritone and e-drum baritone horn you're a
horn guy jamie matt norman played a norwalk bike project before look at that look atlex homan oh and you're not going to believe this i don't know if this is
the same chuck johnson it might be a different one but this chuck johnson on discogs is a mixing
engineer who worked at indigo ranch studios no way i'm not fucking with you guys there's a lot
of connections in this episode i call them segues but i'm segways wow that's such a cool segue it's like a neural network life's crazy do you know that matt
robodeau was in lenny kravitz 3 i did see that yeah what's lenny kravitz it's a duo with matt
robodeau and dan mcleod and they have one dan mcleod's uncle Yeah He used to work at Charcoal Pit
Was a farmer
So the presentation of this
Matt Ribbedoo tape
Which is called
Mush Songs or something
It's called
Mush Songs
Mesh Songs
So the presentation is very impressive
Is that what Omni Soul sounded like?
No we're a little less butt-rocky It's too butt-rocky and heavy
But along those lines
You're more like
No, that's a little too bubblegum-y
That's too bubblegum-y
Like Spin Doctors
And it was all yellow
Oh, like Coldplay
But you rocked a little bit too, right? We we did we had a little bit of edge okay yeah shut up about this
god damn edge all right let me explain the presentation of this tape which is very nice
not a lot going into it which makes it even better so it's got the norelco case the back of
it nice orange tint the tape is clear with black print on one side and green
print on the other which like you see through it it's very hard to read and then on the narako
case itself is like a laser etching of a little like cloud or something like that or some kind
of i do see it's like a little cloud monster it all comes together very nice and that's how you
do a segment jamie is this label called tone the label yeah you're asking me tongue tone there's
air tone air tone oh so that's a cloud yeah air tone air tone because it says tone and laser
underneath okay yeah so that's the tape i'm gonna play jamie did before we get into this did you
want to like text any of these people like pictures like swimsuit pictures of you or anything well i
was i'm not sure if i said this already, but I was DMing Francisco Ameglio
this morning
just asking him
how soon is pronounced.
Is he the one
that sent that sample?
Is that him saying soon?
No,
it's some random website
that pronounces words.
Oh,

to send us how you,
MP3 of you saying it.

Communication in our house is lost the most blaze.
Toy soldiers under bedclothes plotting a post-midnight assault.
Shhh!
The squelch of boots in the evening green.
Camouflage lights on theched upon the steeple.
Splash!
We cling to Faddo's back as he drags us deeper in the swimming pool, riding this male Veiled land beneath artificial waves, Chronic scars of vision,
War and worship,
The family of turtles search for lost cities,
Rubber keys, pressed flesh,
Wapped in porn,
Silent bar,
Knowledgeable hands missing from the fence stumps,
Years of brown, Swindled saw,
Kite,
And crew,
Take pride of land,
Flounder perfect,
Roos over the shore,
Sparry breaks the glasses of the aircraft,
Helicopter stills the sky,
Fired in a glider swo school of cityscapes
Tractor, pimples, harvest night
Beyond the hills, the farm it lies
Shhh! The motorway ignites
There's a community along the back road
Farms spaced out like lighthouses
Where tractors work the land
And chicken and geese peck the grass
Grey stone pitches hurl at a sky
Horses friendly the corner of a field, and a dog as mad as an eight-day
week circles the yard. Though it's not as crazed as those kept behind closed doors,
rocking in fragmented history, figments of themselves. The livestock is boomed up by an electric fence, and beyond that, another
fence separates them from the rest of the world. Though they are content, farming in
this community never strain to find out something else. Thank you. I'm sorry.

Solid block there.
Jamie, you want to go through everything we just played?
In order?
I do.
And don't mess up anything.
Can you rotate those about 45 degrees?
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, the other way?
Yeah.
Towards you?
All right, we got...
That's a good geometry.
That's a segue.
Bad trips.
No, I'm just kidding.
No, this way.
This one right here.
We started with William Fields.
I don't think we started with that.
No, we started with lighter. You got the stack wrong. Oh, I'm sorry. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hey, I'm just kidding. This one right here. We started with William Fields. I don't think we started with that. We started with lighter.
You got the stack wrong.
Hey.
Those are going to be worth a lot of money one day.
Lighter. William Fields.
And what was that last one?
Lighter massage on crash symbols.
William Fields. What do you say? Cube? Is that how you say that word?
Q-U-U-B-E.
On.
Soon.
And then A farming
Danish word
By McLaurin White
The law firm of McLaurin White
Oh yeah
And then
Farm Corps
Some
Goddamn corn synth
So that's what corn
Sounds like
We got a lot of corn fields here
In the state of Delaware
I never actually
You drive past them
You don't think much of it
I never thought about
Just dropping off a synth
And just
Yeah
Seeing what those old stalks do.
But that was some good stuff.
That was some fun stuff.
And I think we're ready to play the last block here.
Jamie, there's been something you've been holding in.
You actually gave me something here you wanted me to read.
Let me get it here.
I got it right here.
Again?
Okay.
I went out and got a new deck.
Hold on. I don't have one for this what you did i got i got a nakamachi it's my new deck if you don't like it you can smell my crack
all the parts they never rust when i hear tape it makes me bust
sign jamie orlando why stop giving me this shit?
Hey, I wanted to make the announcement that I have a Nakamichi deck.
Yeah, you won't shut up about this fucking announcement.
I thought of a song I could sing about it.
You want to hear this?
Yeah, I do want to hear it.
A little reverb.
Yeah, put a little reverb.
I need a little echo.
Jamie's got a Nakamichi.
This is awful.
I like it
I'm cutting that out
Pretty scary
Alright so what do you want to end the
I got two more I'm going to end with
Who wants to go first?
Why don't you go first
And then I'll go
And then Jamie goes
Because that's a perfect segue
Into Jamie
Oh yeah because Jamie
You went to end it
You finally got all day
Guys
Guys the segue
Don't forget about the segue
We waited three months to record this and now
it's building up to the very end
he wants to back load
alright this tape actually just came in the mail
yesterday
I got it
I don't know oh speaking of discogs real quick

Jamie you know Bad Trips

on their discogs really yeah well
you want me to put that up right now yeah put that up yeah could you work out but make it a
funny one do a funny one do a funny i took some pictures of the show the other night maybe i

bad trips may be deemed all i have is videos but i could take a screenshot from the video
i like the one where conrad's playing the flute yeah zoom and enhance you want to hear it Trips may be deemed. All I have is videos, but I could take a screenshot from the video.
I like the one where Conrad's playing the flute.
Yeah, zoom and enhance.
You want to hear it?
That was a good show.
Yeah.
The Nausea Requiem.
Let me see what the logo is. The Nausea Requiem.
The band is called The Nausea. The tape is tape is called requiem oh is that what it is yeah because the requiem is really small underneath
you know i told you i didn't know how to do that so what do you mean when they use a different font
it's a different well it's the same font but it's smaller i don't get it i don't get it this is not
this like is this like a band well this is not that punk band nausea.
Well, this is the nausea.
Were there two?
Was there like a cross band and another band both called nausea at the same time?
I don't think so.
I feel like there was one nausea on like Slap a Hammer or something.
Wasn't there?
I think that's the same.
No, there might be actually.
I feel like there was like, well, this is not that.
Because there is a nausea that was like during the time of Agnostic Front.
Oh, I know that band.
Agnostic Front?
I've heard of them.
Yeah, you've heard of them.
I haven't heard of any of the other bands you're talking about.
The AF, dude.
Yeah.
Jamie.
Not my world.
So this is The Nausea.
The Nausea.
The name of the album is Requiem.
Requiem.
And the name of the label is Absurd Exposition.
Absurd Exposition.
I'll tell you what's absurd is the size of the font
on this thing i know i complained about it every year the fonts get smaller and smaller
i can't read that stuff this is anju sing on violin viola cello electronics voids and creative
mixing i think this is creative mixing i like when they get creative with it i think this is
two labels that put it out all right's the other label? Absurd Exposition
and Creative Mixing.
And Buried in Slag and Debris.
Buried in Slag and Debris?
Yeah. I feel like a good name
for a label would be Creative
Mixing. I like when they get creative with
the mix. You know what I like? When they get
nasty with the mixing. Yeah.
Me too. Recorded and mixed
by Jess Gaddner
at Rain City Records.
Now, did they get...
Who could that be?
Did Jesse get creative
with the mixing?
Hmm.
So this just came
in the mail yesterday.
I got it out of the mailbox
this morning.
And I listened to a little bit of it
and I was like,
this is pretty good.
Why not just play it today?
Just play it.
Just fuck.
Look at all that lobster meat. Sound art and creative mixing they're from vancouver british columbia
oh bc anju sing anju sing yeah we're gonna roll the list of all all the fun different instruments
they play violin you want to do it again let's go ahead what else we said it already yeah but
go ahead but there's no you know you can fact check me violin viola cello electronics
vocals noise oh i didn't list all these sound art i knew you didn't that's why i'm doing it
because you didn't all right what else because i didn't know there was sound art on this sound
art and creative mixing i love when they get that's all you care about yeah so i'm gonna play a track
from this tape i thought there's gonna be a metal tape it looks like it would be a heavy metal tape
like a or maybe like a godflesh yeah yeah that's what i was you thought it's gonna be like yeah
like slim not i thought it was going to be like Slimpknot.
Ladies and gentlemen, the nausea.
Oh, wow.
Requiem is really so much smaller.
So much smaller. Look at the spine, though.
I think you have font blinders.
I do have font.
Guys, actually, I've been meaning to talk to you about this.
I just got back.
You can't tell the sizes of fonts.
Oh, you can't tell the sizes.
You can tell what they are, though.
He knows what they are, but he can't tell the sizes.
It's like Times New Roman. Well, actually, not to be a dick, but a Oh, you can't tell the sizes. You can tell what they are, though. He knows what they are, but he can't tell the sizes. It's like Times New Roman.
Well, actually, not to be a dick, but a font is the typeface and the size.
I disagree with that.
I disagree, because the size is like when you're in Word and you can put 12.
Eight.
But what you're saying, like Arial is a typeface, and Arial 9. is a font.
Oh.
So good. It's so good on my lips all right now it's out
199 and then hey hey oh hold on and then this new tiger village tape also just came in uh
printing on the tape grid work i know that he went hard with the tape tim thornton that
sounded like a very forced response look at all that printing it's the tape. It's because when I showed Joe this tape earlier,
and I was like, you want to play this?
And he said, no.
I was like, but look at this shell, man.
Tim went hard on this shell.
And he said, I've seen better than that.
Yeah.
But I've also seen better than this,
but it's still pretty good.
It's still good.
It's still pretty good.
How you doing?
So yeah, this is new stuff from Tim Thornton thornton from ohio who runs sweet 309
309 the label that this is on like i said went hard with the shell imprinting um but actually
now that you say it joe i don't like it either yeah i like a minimal i've seen it before i like
people who don't try hard you know what i like nothing on it i like that's weird because i don't
like that yeah there was a
tape in the box but that's too much listen if you're gonna put out a tape do it just right
there's a fine line there's a let's go to the let's go and then i'm gonna play he got a virus
sky mines echoes on the shore oh is that strategic tape reserve is that what that is no it's uh did
you just pull this out of the mailbag as well i got this uh this is inner islands oh the spine logo looks similar
from a distance no you don't know your tape load that's true yeah this is a little doodle of like
two uh inner islands say the water and the sun when did you get this you did not gave it to me
a couple weeks ago okay so this is like a fairly new one? Fairly new one, yeah. And who is it?
This is the one I've been waiting for.
Sky Mines.
Sky Mines.
Echoes on the Shore, Inner Islands.
No other info really besides track titles.
Oh man, really trailing off here at the end.
Yeah.
Well, what?
I didn't do any research for this one.
I know.
Don't worry, just wait for me.
Yeah, wait for Jamie.
I'm saving it all for Jamie.
I got about 30 minutes of material.
He's got a lot of material.
I'm keeping my set short.
Yeah, we can.
This is warm up, man.
Let's play some shitty.
The opener doesn't go longer.
Yeah.
You want to be a closer, man, but you're not.
I got a tape.
Tiger Village.
Don't know much about it.
It's brand new.
Joe doesn't like the shell.
Joe's got a tape.
Sky Mines.
It's on a label that looks like another label.
He's going to play that.
Jamie.
Jamie.
Jamie.
Jamie.
Jamie, please.
Now, this is where we... Joe, turn on the fan, by the way. the fan yes you're not here oh but now it's gonna the sound right well it's torn down are people
still here are you still with us well they've been waiting since the beginning for this fucking
for this thing oh yeah this is where we get to you're about to unload this shit right i'm about
to unload i've been taking notes king of slam there's been so many references yeah what have all the segways been let's go over them um all right the person
that opened for my band that was on the voice god he won't shut up about this oh yeah i forgot
what oh my band omni solo yeah your band omni solo you know not to like how many records did
you put out um we put out two full-length albums and two eps nice not to shit on the thing about somebody from
the voice opening but if you could have gotten someone from the mass singer yeah i really feel
like i would have went if you got somebody from the best singer to open up sorry this is this is
a delaware connection though okay that's fine this is all connected the second reference was
we were talking about like i had been texting other people like the person from earth color
was texting so i was texting this person from Earth Color was texting.
So I was texting this person this morning.
Joe earlier asked me about the last book I read, which is related.
Somebody said it's an honor.
The word honor is related.
And then there was two things during the breaks, which the listeners didn't hear.
But somebody, we were talking about a handwritten note.
That's a reference.
And then we're also talking about negotiating.
And that's another note. So keep all those. It then we're also talking about negotiating, and that's another note.
So keep all those.
It's six distinct concepts in your mind.
I'm confused.
So I'm going to take you back now to, let's go back to 1984.
1984.
You're in 1984.
Return of the Jedi has hit theaters.
When cocaine was cocaine.
When cocaine.
Bolivian white.
You're in 1984.
You're in Delaware, the state of Delaware, 1984.
I didn't live here here I didn't move here
Until 89
Okay
I was here Jamie
Go ahead
What do you need to know
There was a band
On the scene
Back then
Okay
And it was a trio
And I'm friends
Three people
Right
I'm friends
With two out of the three
Of those people
You son of a bitch
What happened
With the third person
I'm not friends with him
I don't know
Why
What happened
I don't know who it is
You guys were falling out
No I just don't.
I never met. Okay, so you're friends with these
two old guys. And you've been
avoiding the third one. I'm going to pass around a tape
real quick. And this is not the tape I'm playing.
But the band's name is Honor Society.
Oh, Honor Society.
The friend that I have that I'm really
close with is a guy named Richie Rubini.
How close? Well, he
produced two of my band's albums um
back in the 2000s and um actually in the omni-soul reunion show he was on stage with us playing he
played a song with us and um all right and actually that's another segue i didn't even write down
i love his eyes light up but um his daughter is olivia rubini who was on the voice she made it
to the semi-finals she opened for us and she also performed with us. Jamie, this says 85 in here,
by the way.
Oh, there is a year in there?
Yep.
Because I asked Richie,
I texted him,
I said, what year is it?
He said 84.
This says 85.
So now my immersion is totally...
He said that he spray painted that tape.
Oh, another tie-in is
when we saw Bad Trips,
it was at Squeezebox Records
and that tape was on sale
for $100.
$100.
You showed this to me.
Why?
It was on sale for... And I brought it up to the counter. This tape here that Joe had is Honor Society? Yeah. It was on sale for $100. You showed this to me. Why? It was on sale for,
and I brought it up to the counter.
This tape here that Joe has is Honor Society?
Yeah.
It was on sale for $100.
It's not even on Discogs.
Are you sure it wasn't $10?
Nope.
So I brought it to the counter.
I said, does that really say $100?
And he said, yeah, it does.
And I said, is there really a market?
No offense to Richie or Dean,
who are the two guys I know
that might be listening to this.
You know, much deserved, but like, how long is that going to be on the shelf until somebody spends $100?
I said, I'll give you $25 for it.
And he actually said, okay, yeah, $25 sounds good.
It's called negotiating.
Negotiating.
So I texted Richie and I said, your tape was on sale for $100.
And he's like, oh, I spray painted it.
He was telling me about the tapes.
He spray painted the...
Old school.
We're not going to play that,
but the very next day,
Richie Rubini,
he lives in Hocas,
in this town that I live in,
he dropped this tape off
in my mailbox.
So this is a compilation tape
called So This Is Newark.
So Newark is where
University of Delaware is.
Wait, so you weren't home?
I wasn't home.
He came by my house.
You came home
and you found this in your mailbox?
He put it in my mailbox.
Oh, what a cool mystery.
Joe, if you open the tape,
there is a hand-drawn note in there, which is another segue from i'm saying segues these aren't segues
these are just things that you're saying yeah at the cover of the picture of main street
yeah isn't that cool that is like if you saw that a record store you would buy that right oh yeah
yeah so that's awesome i said oh look at that enjoy with a doodle yeah and that's a doodle of
him oh he made this. This is cute.
Yeah, he drew himself on it. Is he an artist?
Has he ever taken a lesson?
No, I don't think so.
That's natural. He's a good friend.
Yeah, he can really do faces.
I thought that was really generous that he put that in my mail.
Because that's the kind of stuff I love.
These, like, a tape from 1987 from Delaware.
I'll take that. That's your love language.
I'd buy that for a dollar.
So, the connections. So, the text message the text message the daughter oh the last book i read
you want to know about the last book i do yeah it's a history of newark it's called um the yin
and yang of it all and it's by a guy named john fay do you guys know john fay is that name ring
a bell no he was the singer from from a band called the caulfields who was signed to a&m in
the 90s and richie was the drummer for that band. Remember the song, I'm bigger than
Jesus now. The Beatles.
That's the quote
from the Beatles. There was a 90s
song that was on the radio. The Beatles.
That was Richie's band.
Richie was in the Beatles?
The drummer. And John Fay, the singer.
It's actually an excellent book.
It talks about a lot of old school
Delaware history, which is really fun.
So what year did this comp come out?
Look on the spine.
87.
87.
And we're going to play the Honor Society track in honor of Richie and Dean.
Right.
And Dean's been at the Final Friday shows before.
Really?
He's a cool dude, yeah.
He's only been at one.
Who was all on this comp?
I want to hear Bats Without Flesh.
Oh, that's the name?
You know what's crazy?
You know what's wild?
Actually, we need to find out about some of these bands.
Jamie, I want you to kind of find out about some of these bands.
I'll try to.
Because Jerry Cutts Grass was in that glam rock band in the 80s.
Okay.
His band could be on this band.

Wait, is it Jerry Lehane III?
Is that his name?
I'm not sure, but his family owns Lehane Bus Company, which is a local Delaware bus company that my friend Bill Lehane was a member of that family.
So Jerry's his uncle.
Because there's a Moner's tape on Discogs.
If it says Jerry Lehane III, then that's him.
Yeah.
That's definitely him.
Yeah. I'm glad we got to the bottom of that. We're like little
We're detectives. We're like
Columbia. Delaware historians. He made
weird music in the 80s because
someone made a band camp for him a while ago.
Someone put up all these
old recordings. Yeah. And then someone actually
No, someone was living next to him
in Newark and jammed with him.
Okay. Like currently. Because he still plays music. Have you, Jamie, have you listened to this entire comp yet? I've only someone was living next to him in newark and jammed with him okay like currently because he
still like plays music have you jamie have you listened to this entire comp yet i've only listened
to the honor society i just found because we're like rearranging my uh living room i found a
handwritten note that because he used to cut my grass that he wrote like like i can't remember
what the note says now but i saved it he was He was like, all the grass is cut, thanks. Yeah.
Yeah.
And actually, you know what?
It actually might have been after I had stopped having him cut my grass, because I fixed my
lawnmower, and I think he was like, don't forget about me, I used to cut your grass.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like how, like, so all this was a segue, because, like, cutting grass is a lot like
farming.
Yeah, you have to cut grass.
So I feel like I'm involved in all this segueing, too, right?
Wow.
Mike has made his way into it.

That was the last time I caught you live.
Well, where have you been, Bob?
I've been looking for you.
Haven't been out, yeah.
A lot of bands are releasing cassettes now rather than having to spend the money
and pressing up things.
I mean, you can get some nice packaging on a cassette, too.
Sure.
Everybody has a box. I wonder if I'll ever change
The summer's turned to winter and I'm still the same
A year from now I'll laugh about these things
At my father I can't leave now, there's too much doubt and the months are gone Why should I go when the colds will blow and it feels like home
Five years from now
I'll laugh about this
