Yeah.
No, I don't remember.
He's not bald?
My placentas fall to the floor.
Give me some reverb.
When you, Jamie, when you see my eyes, after 200 episodes, when you see my eyes go back
Well, to Jamie's defense, he hasn't been here for all 200.
Well, when you see my eyes rolling in the back of my head like that, like I got something
good.
Give me some reverb.
Okay, go.
My placenta's forming back again.
My placenta's forming back again.
Like a rune, they're chasing the wind.
Yeah, we should microdose placenta.
All right.
Jamie's been asking me to do it, and I was like, I don't know, but I've been thinking about it more and more.
Might still have mine or Sabine's in the freezer.
Off the chain.
Not in my freezer.
I just got a new fridge, and I would not allow that.
Oh, they're from York, Jamie.
Oh, York.
That's not too far.
That's not too far.
That's a good city.
Are you talking about Better Than Ezra or Live?
Live. Live. He is bald. He's not too far. That's not too far. That's a good city. Are you talking about Better Than Ezra or live? Live.
He is bald.
He's got a long ponytail in the back.
He swung it around in the video.
He swung it around in the video.
I don't remember what that song was, but it might have been.
I can feel it.
Was he swinging around?
All the photos are a front shot.
He's bald.
He's a little better than Ezra back shots.
It's not back shots. Episode number 200. I can feel it Pops 10. All right, the best. The best. Okay, all right. The best.
When the best tape podcast gets to episode 200,
people are like, oh, they're about to do it to me.
They're about to play some tapes.
So, yeah.
Good, good.
That was very good.
I have a little bit of a stat sheet here.
You guys want to see?
I'm very interested in the numbers.
You never tell me about the numbers.
I'm always asking about the numbers.
Three.
That's a big masonic number. You ready to do this now?
Wait, you're looking at something on your screen.
Do you really have stats?
Yeah, I got some stats.
This is God on his stats.
I want you guys to kind of guess and see if you can guess. If guys want to if you don't want to do we don't have to compile
these stats i did last night last night yeah well what time of night was it yeah late from 10 to 11
what were you wearing yeah what was megan and her friend doing in the other room they're going to
thai restaurant in oysters okay what do you God. Jamie, please.
Here's the easiest question.
Okay.
How many regular episodes have they been so far?
200 episodes we've done.
This is 200.
How many regular episodes?
Yes.
How many do you think, Joe?
What constitutes a regular episode?
What does that mean, a regular episode?
Like what we're doing today.
Oh, just like a regular one.
Yeah.
I gotta say, when I do an episode,
it's not regular.
It's a little bit different.
185.
I'm feeling a little bit different out there.
You guys are both wrong. It's 199. We haven't done the bit different. I'm a little bit different out there. You guys are both wrong.
It's $199.
We haven't done the $220 yet.
We're doing it now.
Well, I wasn't sure if the end of the year isn't a regular episode.
All right, so how much time is...
No, it's not.
When the other people are on the phone call and we don't play tapes,
I wouldn't call that a regular episode.
Oh, okay.
There's been other series of Tabs Out out and we'll get to that in a minute
honestly i can't find my boo sound clip and i'm if jamie's gonna go on a segment of his own
oh wait a minute all right go ahead jamie okay so i want you guys to guess how many
days worth of content just the just the regular episodes 199 how many days how many days worth of consecutive content I really don't think it's that much okay I'll say it's four days no no
I'm saying it's like 16 days okay the answer is nineteen point four days we
should go on a retreat and just listen to all of them and what was the date of
the very first tabs out episode
oh man it was hot it's very i know this i don't know if it was i know this cold i know this yeah
it was march 15th okay well no no march 16th see there's a difference between when you record it
and when it airs no there's not i'm just i'm going based on what says on the website i wasn't there
it was march it was march yeah you're right. What year?
I know, Joe.
Me and you went to see Mark McGuire.
In Philly?
In Philly.
With Infinity Window?
Infinity Window or Infinity Window?
That's a good question.
That's a good question. I remember we met Sal there because he was working at a coffee shop down the street.
And I think we just busted his balls the whole time.
Yeah, probably. And then he got mad mad he don't talk to me no more
and then he left yeah uh but yeah we saw them i believe on march 15th at a bookstore yeah in
what year is it right now it's 2024 2015 2015 no 2012 2012 guys march 17th 2012 was the very
first episode wow it's taken us 12 years to get to 200.
Joe Rogan's on like 10,000.
Stop bringing up Joe Rogan every time we do this.
All right.
Let's keep it moving.
So the next series of episodes are called the bonus episodes.
Those were some episodes that me and Ian Franklin did with Mike.
Yes.
How many episodes of those did you think we did?
I think you only did 10 of those.
I'm going to say 13. I'm going to say 21. Yes. How many episodes of those did you think we did? I think you only did 10 of those. I'm going to say 13.
I'm going to say 21.
23.
23? Yes.
From the years of...
Oh, from the years of
2019...
18.
2018
to 2021.
That's right. Mike got it
and so that was
23 hours of content
next we get to the laser focus episodes
wait a minute
how many hours of content is
tabs out in general?
we haven't got there yet
I want to say these bonus episodes are very
Jordan coded
a lot of the 23 going on.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
That's a big Masonic number.
So we got the laser focus.
You remember the laser focus?
Oh, yeah.
I forgot all about that.
Yeah.
How many episodes of that with tiny mixtapes?
I got some.
Before you go spanking my ass, who wrote the theme song for laser focus?

What do you think?
1969 to 420.
The year range.
That I don't know.
Laser Focus.
It's earlier than the bonus.
It's way earlier.
It's way earlier.
Yeah.
2016 to 2018. 2013 to 2019. Whoa. That had a long run. laser focus it's earlier than the bonus way earlier it's way earlier yeah 2016 2018 2013
to 2019 so whoa that was a long run six years for 18 episodes you want to you want to um you want
to how many more of these you got i got i got one more okay i was going to say do you want to like
i remember that that was a classic i remember um oh i was going to say do you want to like uh do some more of these
later but if you only got one more you've only got one more give it to them i have a lot more
stats after this so let's break it up let's maybe let's end here and then we'll and then we'll do
more yeah yeah yeah yeah let's go the last series is kind of an obscure series i'm tabs out there's
only i'll say there's only five episodes of this one can can you guys guess which one this was
you suck wait what do you say there's a series of episodes in tabs out yeah that aren't regular episodes
right but there was episodes yep there's episodes only five of them there's only five of them and
we who was on them well that might be that's gonna give it away that's gonna be part of the clue
i don't know i think this is like a episode with effect. With John Pyle. That would be good, though.
I would love a John Pyle exclusive episode.
Is it like...
I don't know.
I don't know what it could be.
All right.
God, some of the fucking mega fans out there are screaming,
it's goddamn...
This only happened in 2018.
It was the Sonic Syrup episode with Casey Grabowski.
Yeah, I was going to say that.
I was going to say that, but I didn't consider...
I believe at the time we called those like audio columns or something like that
it was only two and a half hours of content five episodes but they're really good he kind of does
like spoken word over top of them yeah yeah it was good wait a minute i have no memory of these
yeah you're not as smart as a lot go seek them out on the website but um okay james moving this
along before we um before we cut it off i just want to do the
last one so total that's 245 episodes of total content how many days worth of content do you
think that is goodbye and i hate i hate the word content i don't know why you're saying that i
understand yeah yeah content it's good it is content um i am a content creator i didn't
realize that i am a content creator i think of what i do is like
giving out like how kind of like a mixture of advice and humor how many or how many hours
or days i got birth of them wait what was the question how many hours for the 245 episodes
altogether i have a question is this is this the trolley problem is this the trolley problem. What's that word? One train leaves at 1045 and it's uphill.
And it's uphill.
Hold on.
I forget what the question was.
It's 750 hours worth of content.
512 hours of content equaling 21.3 days.
Jamie?
So that's quite a bit.
But really, honestly, Jamie,
it's nothing.
Give yourself a pat on the back.
Compared to like Rogan or...
How did you...
So I've been eating these
mushrooms that have been...
What they do is they make your veins
extra thick.
And I love my music.
Cosmically.
How did you find this information?
Did you ask AI or something?
No, I was going through iTunes last night.
I use my iTunes.
He uses iTunes.
The backdoor code.
I realized there's one episode of Tabs Out.
I think it was for iTunes Pro
when he gets the backdoor information.
That I never listened to
because it wasn't there.
I was like, why am I short an episode?
I think it was episode 118 or something
that I got to go back and listen to that one now.
Why wasn't it there?
I just forgot to download it.
Oh, you forgot to download it.
Oh, my God.
That was a key one.
Yeah.
I can't believe that.
That was one of the best.
It's huge in the canon.
I got a lot more questions, but maybe we can move things along.
You know what?
Now that I think about it, I might have a little quiz, too.
Okay.
I'm going to go to the bathroom.
We'll save it.
All right.
Jamie, since you did such a good job coming up with all those stats we all
loved it jamie jamie stop why don't you play a uh a tape okay i love when you guys start with me man
um so today just a little little sneak peek that's what your mom said i picked this tape out that i'm
going to play first and it's from 1981 and that's the year of my birth.
You were born in 81, huh?
Yeah.
81, baby.
81, Reagan.
Yeah, I'm built a little bit different.
80.
80.
Yeah.
You're both 80?
I'm also 80. Yeah, so me and Joby were kind of kicking the shit around for a while waiting for you.
So then when I was picking out my tapes, I said, maybe let me find all three tapes I
want to be from 1981.
Oh.
So I managed to pull it off.
You pulled it off.
Wait, what did you do?
All three of his tapes were from 81. Wow. Yeah. Can you believe it? I managed to pull it off. You pulled it off. What did you do? All three of his tapes
were from 81. Wow. Yeah. Can you believe it? I can't believe it. Actually, I won't believe it
until you're... I'm sorry, Jamie. Until you prove it. So this first tape is really awesome. It's by
a project called Synchastra. And it's kind of like a folky, new agey project. It's from 1981.
It's like a private press tape where'd you get this
i got it i don't do this often i know maddie does this all the time but i got it in an ebay lot of
cassette tapes oh okay you're buying lots now huh i've only done it twice careful with that yeah
careful with that all right i want you i want you to monitor your use okay this was a long time ago
um but yeah electronic and acoustic instruments at their
sensitive best oh yeah wow what track are you gonna play sequence in earth nature yeah or natural i'm
gonna play a portion of that one i mean it that's the whole a side so it's 22 minutes so i found
around five or six minutes in it starts to cook a little bit so i'm gonna start it from there i
like slopes i can't wait to get my hands on this. Joe B., this cover looks so
fantastical. There's a perforated J card,
so be careful with it.
Oh, they got their catalog in here.
Oh, is that why it's perforated?
You fill it out and you send it in?
You don't fill it out, but...
Oh, Jamie, you've got to track down some of these tapes.
Yeah, well, I'm on the Discogs page.
It's called Elephant Music Company, but
it's Ed Van Fleet's, who's the synchastra it's his label and it looks like on discogs there's 59 releases which
probably means there might be is it like synchastra like you sync something up like it's spelled on
it or synchastra like um with an eye like no like sync no the first one the first way it's spelled
on the j card yeah okay yeah well let me hold it i want to hold on looking through the catalog
give me a piece of it like the tape most of it's synchistra or sometimes he goes by ed van fleet
i want to get ed van fleet's migration tape vibrant rhythmic and very tuneful a solo venture
by synchistra's ed van fleet but isn't oh no wait there's other people on in synchistra is there
yeah percussionist john wilson oh yeah i didn't
notice that until just now four different vocalists jamie oh i didn't hear any vocals
on the first you know ed van because that's on slopes maybe yeah you know ed van fleet has sold
over two million copies of his recordings really two million i'm used to on this show dealing with
assholes who sell 40 copies and they're out out there. It's a limited of 21.
Yeah, and they're popping champagne once they sell 40 copies.
Van Fleet's out here slinging millions.
But only 51 people have this on Discogs.
Maybe that's a lie.
The rating is 3.33 out of 5.
I'm going to give it a 5 star right now.
There we go.
I bumped it up to 3.75.
Do it right now.
Do it right now?
Oops, wrong one.
Hold on.
Do it again.
This is cool, Jamie. I had to up to 3.75. Do it right now. Do it right now. Oops, wrong one. Hold on. Do it again. Yeah, this is cool, Jamie.
I had to refresh my page.
So what you're saying is you've only bought a lot of tapes.
How many times?
I've done it twice.
Twice.
And all three tapes that you're playing today are from one of those lots.
I think two of them are from one of those lots.
Jamie, let me ask you a question.
What was the description of the lot that you bought?
New Age music?
I think one was a Wyndham Hill lot, and then one was something else.
Is that a New Age label?
Yeah, sort of. Yeah. We'll get to that later. I feel like I've seen a Wyndham. I feel one was a Wyndham Hill lot and then one was something else. Is that a new age label? Yeah, sort of.
We'll get to that later.
I feel like I have Wyndham.
Who's on Wyndham Hill? Like Shadowfax.
Shadowfax, yeah.
Jamie, take out your phone.
I got Elf and Music Company's phone number right here. Do you want to give them a call?
I'm really bad at prank calls.
I don't want you to prank call them. I just want you to see
what they got to say about this tape.
Call it up. You ready?
You can't do that.
For me,
on episode number 200.
I'll do it.
941-914-6196.
Just put on my speakerphone.
Just say you got this tape.
Synchastra.
Mother Earth's Lullaby.
Your call cannot be completed.
Hi, this is Tabs Out.
What?
We're going to play
Sinkistra Mother Earth Lullaby.
I'm sorry. Hello?
They hung up.
What's that label
called again? Elfin Music.
Elfin Music. Not Elvin.
No, the other one.
Oh, Wyndham Hill.
We'll get to that later.
I'm looking at something.
Elvin's back.
Got a tape from Wyndham Hill today, too.
From 1981.
You know what?
I'm going to play a tape that's going to go along with a similar vibe, I feel like.
And maybe you'll agree.
Nice.
I love that vibe.
Gunther Schlinz.
Ooh.
Everybody just says ooh.
Huh?
I don't know what that is.
You want to try it again?
We'll all on three do it.
One, two, three.
Ooh.
Hooray.
So, oh shit, I don't have any of my information up yet.
They are famous jazz musicians.
The tape's called Kerpark, which I assume is this artist's kind of rendition of kerplunk the
green day album it is uh as it says on bandcamp a professionally do give me some reverb for this
because my eyes are rolling in the back of my head again professionally duplicated lily white shell
their words not mine edition of 77 uh jamie if you want to read the band camp description i'd

Oh, Adhesive Sounds is from Canada.

I don't know.
But Lighten Up Sounds is absolutely from Minnesota.
See, now I've got to look up Adhesive Sounds.

Okay.
I'm not stupid.
Lighten Up Sounds, Minnesota.
This is one of his affirmations he says every morning
when he reads them.
On his nightstand.
Puts his slippers on and he opens his little book.
Jamie, stop!
You want me to read this description?
Yeah, go ahead. Read this description.
Kerr Park is a freshly woven spoof of Technicolor silk
recorded on location at the health spa park of the same name in Bad Wimpfen, Germany.
In where?
Bad Wimpfen, Germany.
If you ask me, what ever happened to Good Wimpfen, Germany?
Joe Rogan told me that.
Well, you know, if you're cool, bad means good.
Keep going.
Gunther Schlinz has floated through various strains of electronic
etherealism for more than a dozen years
touching down consistently on the most luminary
of labels. We welcome the artist here
with open arms and we are excited to present the latest
work of prismatic cotton
swapsound. They should write for Tabs Out
Get out of here, Matty
Matty McPherson
You want me to keep going or? Yeah, keep going. I'm enjoying this.
This is good.
The heavenly music carries Schlintz's distinct sensibility,
shifting with an acute accuracy and expressing the artist's
simultaneous sensitivity to both texture and movement.
With each transparent detail laid clearly and focused,
the work is inspired by nature with a capital N and brings
a serene connection with a subtle touch of field recordings
delivering a delicate recognition
of the interrelation between humanity and planet Earth.
Damn, it's still going.
I got one more paragraph. Oh my god.
Teresa Smolnick appears in the long form track
PME with her soft-spoken
vocals in the German language, gently guiding
our journey, goosebumps guaranteed.
Oh wait, wait, I got one more.
As the artist says, this is music
to cleanse your inner lens.
Oh, good. Lens your inner lens.
Well, really what it is, my outer lens
is filthy right now, so that's what I need.
I don't know what I'm going to play.
I'm curious now. It said he's been doing this
for over a dozen years. I'm just wondering if it's
exactly 13. That's a baker's dozen.
That's a baker's, yeah. But in Germany, they might do
things different. Bad is good.
And a dozen means something different.
Yeah.
Okay.
If I didn't say it yet, it's a C-46 edition of 77 on a lily-white shell.
And mastered by the pulse emitter guy, Daryl.
Oh, good.
Well, I'll notice.
You didn't have to tell me that.
I would have noticed that.
The sonic characteristics.
Now, Joe B., are you thinking of going, are you going to stick with us in this kind of

Leisure Suit Larry.
And this is the first one in the series.
Is that a speed run? Yeah, I'm watching a speed run
of Leisure Suit Larry, The Land of the Lounge Lizards.
Oh, that's 1987.
He does look like a goddamn pervert.
I think he is a pervert.
Oh, he's on the toilet in this part.
Okay, he closes before I start playing this.
You're gonna get a virus.
I'll blow that saxophone, daddy-o.
Hold on.
Leisure Suit Larry is an adult-themed sex comedy video game series.
It is pervert.
Yeah.
You didn't know that?
Designed by Jamie Orlando to squash his sensations.
It's a soft porn adventure.
Yeah, it's a soft porn adventure.
Let me click on that.
That's blue.
Soft porn adventure is a comedic, adult-oriented text adventure.
Mikey.
Yeah, because it was also point-and-click, because all Sierra Nevada games, Sierra Nevada,
not Sierra Nevada, Sierra Games, is that what it was?
Yeah, Sierra Games.
Yeah, like King's Quest.
Like King's Quest, yep.
They're all point-and-click, right?
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
Oh, is that one?
One of my first computer games.
Oh, my gosh.
I played King's Quest a lot, but that's really all the ones I...
What did I do?
But anyway, yeah, Leisure Suit Larry, that's fun.
Okay, Jamie, you got some more...
Oh, I got some more statistics. You want to stump the chumps?
Stump the chumps. Okay.
Jamie, please. We might be able to get through it all in this
block. We'll see. There's a lot. Alright, so then
this next block, this is very
Jamie-centric. This is all about me.
Do you have this... Don't look at my screen.
Do you have this in Notepad?
I got a Notepad++ because I'm a programmer.
Oh, my God.
Except you can't figure out shit about our website.
All right, go ahead.
All right, what was the very first episode
that Jamie Orlando became an official member of the crew?
Don't say never.
I'm going to say you have not officially been a member yet.
Yeah, you're not involved in profit sharing.
You don't get health insurance.
You're not a member.
What episode number was it?
Yeah.
And year.

Wait, say the question again.
I want to hear the wording.

As a fan.
So you admit that you are a fan.

Back in 2013
Oh it took you a while
And
I will say
In the first block
Luxury Elite
Played on Orange Milk
And I went home
And I bought that tape
And
Sold it on eBay
Let's make this
Entire episode about you
My celebration of me and Joe
Has been turned into
Jamie's life story
Sorry
Seth and Seth and...
Seth and...
Aaron.
Keith.
I couldn't remember the...
He's the main guy
from the label.
Sorry for profiting
off your label,
but I had two copies
and I had to get rid of one.
Anyhow.
All right.
Next question is...
I have a question.
Which episode number
did I miss?
I think you've been
on all of us i have
except for the sonic syrup episodes you've been on 240 episodes a little different yeah a little
different the chrome dome series oh don't talk about that don't talk about that why not why not
sore spot sore spot okay you want to skip over that? Yeah, skip over it. Oh, what?
Yeah, skip over all that.
How about sponsors?
You want to talk sponsors?
Yeah.
You know what I do, because where do they go?
Yeah.
We had some sponsors.
I only wrote down two, but I could have sworn there was a third one.
There is.
Yeah, I can think of a few.
Duplication.ca.
Petco.
Duplication.ca.
Play three, y'all.
The great debacle with the discount code.
Oh, I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, when someone...
We put out on all our things about the discount code,
because duplication.ca were sponsoring an episode,
and they don't sell just tapes.
They also sell print cartridges.
So someone used the discount code and bought thousands of dollars worth of...
They went on Twitter and searched for duplication.ca discount code and bought thousands of dollars worth of stuff. They went on Twitter
and searched for duplication.ca
discount and they found your code
and they used it for non-tape stuff.
So then duplication.ca told us
to not put it out there anymore.
Oh, wow. That sounds funny. Yeah, it was
hilarious.
Duplication.ca lost money
by sponsoring
an episode. I wasn't involved then.
Join the club.
They bought a lot of printer cartridges.
Which is so funny.
Wow, I like that.
That's good.
So who else did we fuck up?
Dwarf Craft.
From Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
Oh, yeah.
Dwarf Craft.
They're out of business now.
Oh, really?
Somebody used the coupon code and bought the guy's house.
Oh, he doesn't make
They don't make stuff anymore
I don't think so
Oh okay
But also
Boom boom boom
What's the little
Landscape
Landscape.fm
That's what I was trying to
I couldn't remember the name of that
And then there's
Is it Landscape.fm
Or just Landscape
I don't know
None of these people
Are sponsors anymore
So we shouldn't be saying this
Also
Blue Apron
Blue Apron
And there was
Hello Fresh
Hello Fresh
Yeah Oh no What were some gross ones That were on Stern Back in the day Blue Apron. And there was Hello Fresh. Hello Fresh, yeah.
What were some gross ones that were on Stern back in the day?
Pasta, meatball, chicken,
palm, bread, garlic knot, boom.
That's not really a nasty one.
It is the way I use it.
Check me out sometime.
The flesh.
Oh yeah, well you can make a fleshlight
out of anything.
The fleshlight used to sponsor us.
Oh, speaking of, like, fleshlights and things, like, tactile type stuff,
the back of this leisure suit, Larry, where it loads to carry tape.
It's very nice, right?
Yeah, it's like a little grid.
It's like a grid.
I didn't talk about it.
Can I have it again?
Yeah, it feels so good.
I want to rub it on, like, all over myself.
Yeah, it's a weird little nubby grid.
Give me some reverb, Jamie.
Or delay. I don't know.
Jamie, please.
We only have reverb. We have other effects.
We got other ones, but I gotta dial them up.
Give him some echo. I gotta stand up to get that.
Oh, that's awesome.
That's beautiful.
Oh, it sounds like a guiro.
Survey said! You can't say that word anymore,
Jamie. Jesus Christ.
Sorry.
It was canceled.
What did I do?
All right, Jamie.
Oh, wait, wait.
I got one more question.
Oh, my God.
Is it about you again?
What was the very first...
How many push-ups could I do with the first time?
Compare it to how many push-ups I can do now.
The very first artist to be played on Tabs Out is who?
I know this.
I know this.
The very first artist to play...
I know this.
I don't know this.
I know this.
And me and Dave recorded the
intro to that first episode like 20 times.
Yeah. And we still didn't get it right.
Ladies and gentlemen, Faith No More!
Now, I played...
I'm gonna say there's
either Door or Earthcrown.
And
the scientific explanation of
despair. And, hold on,
no, but it was Robert Turman.
That's correct. It was a Robert Turman
It was a
Robert Turman tape on Hanson Records.
Right? That's correct,
Your Honor. And then, pull up the
whole track listing. Then
after that, was it Door?
He doesn't have it.
I wasn't prepared for this. Oh my god, this isn't that hard.
We're on Spotify, just go on the thing. Does it back that far all the episodes actually yeah it's i have no clue you know what i have here though i got the uh the rss feed like jamie's
like in uh hold on science fiction oh they left they left the back door open on this
minority report right now he's moving shit around. I totally forgot.
I have the RSS feed from next month.
Let me just rattle off every artist's name on that first episode.
Give it to me.
Because it should be an honor.
No, don't rattle it off.
I'm going to try to guess it.
All right.
Well, you got Robert Turman.
Who's the second artist?
Is it Doerr?
No, that's a third.
Is it Scientific Explanation of Despair?
That's not even on there.
Oh, shit.
I'm being like a spanked ass
okay so i played robert turman and i played door yeah so after i did that dave did something in
the middle please jamie excuse me uh fuck what did dave we should call up dave and ask him what
his first tape was do you want to call dave and ask him what his first tape that he played was
you think dave dave's gonna screen my calls yeah he played was? Do you think Dave's going to screen my calls?
Yeah, he won't pick up.
You don't think he'll pick up your call?
No, you better call him, Joe.
Why is Jamie calling me?
You know what?
I give up.
I don't remember.
All right.
I'll go through.
Robert Turman, Expo 70.
Oh, yeah, with the gradient.
Door, Scully, Telecult Powers, and Bob Bellarue.
Andreas Brandl, Developer, Growing, and a telephone call
to Witchbeam
Oh, yeah, we used to call Witchbeam
like every year
Oh, I forgot about that
So I'll get to my next block
Alright, give it to me
Alright, Jamie
So you start off, you're doing such a good job
We recognize you, we see you
I'm sorry, Jamie What do you start off. You're doing such a good job. We recognize you. We see you. I'm sorry, Jamie.
What do you think, Jamie?
Yeah, go first.
1981, taking you back to the Reagan years.
Gonna go back to the back.
And this is an artist,
which I double-checked the RSS feed XML file.
We have never played this artist on the show.
It's a very popular, not electronic,
experimental artist.
Fred Frith.
You guys know Fred Frith? Fred Frith you guys know Fred Frith?
Fred Frith Henry Cow, Naked City
that's how I heard of Fred Frith
he's a Zorn guy
he was in the downtown scene for many years and professor at
Mills College in California
so Fred Frith
this is an album of his from 81
called Speechless
I'll pass it around.
He collaborated on this with some other artists.
The first two tracks I want to play, he collaborated with Etron Fou Le Bolin,
who's a French avant-garde band.
And then he also collaborates with Massacre, who has built Bill Laswell Project.
It's cool tape.
Wow.
Cool tape.
Oh, Kiji Hano is on this oh okay
i didn't notice that you didn't notice that that's on track big uh oof there i don't know how to say
his name correctly you know who i'm talking about right yeah kg hino maybe i think you said it just
fine yeah okay well sometimes you know i feel like now i gotta look at the other artists on here well
this is cool where did you get this one?
That's kind of a long story.
Well, that's not really that long a story.
People just seem to keep giving me their cassette collections.
Jamie's got a whole
fucking quiz that he made.
The About Jamie quiz.
And then you ask him a question about the tape, he's like,
that's too long to talk about.
Jamie, can you tell me on track 17,
which was from a record by Mail Project with Steve Gore,
which that's interesting.
Remember people used to do that?
Put it in a lock box.
He sent me a four-track tape with his composition on two tracks
and asked me to play a virtuoso guitar solo throughout.
I like a challenge.
What does Fred Frith play on this track?
I'm going to say voice and tape.
Survey said voice, tape manipulation.
Well, I'm on Discogs cheating.
Oh, come on.
He also plays Extraneous Elements.
Goodbye.
That's like creative mastering.
What was it?
Creative mastering?
Creative mixing.
I got to say, after 200 episodes,
one of my favorite things is when people put dumb shit
that they play on the liner notes.
I love it.
Look at this crispy chicken.
Prepare guitar, no input mixture, and ceramic pot.
No input mixture?
I love that.
I'm not gonna text it.
Who's this kid on the cover?
What is this? No, Dave's's gotta see that one i don't know
i like how you got the price tag you left it on here it's very it's got a nice patina it's not
for me originally i got it from from a guy yeah but you left it on there i left it on there
this is from 81 that's that's not gonna come off well so and feel i want you to feel the
how many nubs i didn't check out the window oh we You know what? We should come back with a whole nub.
You know what?
At the end of the show...
I want to look at these 80s nubs.
Hold on.
I got a new thing.
This is a reissue.
I'm sorry.
Sorry to say.
It's a 1991 reissue from Switzerland.
90s nubs.
Like Madonna-style nubs.
Sometimes you look back and you see those...
The really pointy ones.
Your hair was in the toilet water. You see those 80s nubs. Your hair was in the toilet water.
You see those 80s nubs and you know you're in for a treat.
We should have, and it's a post-credit scene.
It's after the, this is a new thing, Jamie, that we're going to do.
Okay.
After the last tape is played, there's a post-credit nub report.
Joby's nub report.
And you just go over all of them.
Now, the next.
What was that? Oh, I got to play that later. That's it. And you just go over all of them. Holy cow! The next... What was that?
Oh, I gotta play that later.
That's it.
I didn't mean to play that one.
Jamie, I want you to feel...
This is how these tapes used to be built.
Different.
Yeah.
Feel the window on this tape.
The little window in the middle where that reveals the cassette itself.
They're using a higher gauge plastic for that.
It's hard.
It used to be hard.
And you know what?
The window went soft while Tabs Out was going.
It's kind of like a tv
show that starts off in the old ratio and it's a square but then it's been on long enough that
now it's like the you know what yeah 69 by 40 or whatever it is it's like when we start it
tabs out the windows on these tapes were hard right. And now the windows are soft. Yeah. All right, Fred Frith.
Joe B., you go next.
I'm going to play.
I was doing some.
This tape on already dead tapes.
Slurred Oath.
You're not adopting me.
I'm a little scared of it, actually.
This is one of those scary ones.
What's the catalog number on that one?
That's 437, Jamie.
Woo!
Look how they've done four.
We've only done 200 episodes of this podcast.
Who the hell is that? They've made
437 releases.
Wow. How many does Joe Rogan have?
He's like 20,000.
Is it really
20,000? I thought it would be like 2,000.
I think it's more like 3,000 or 4,000.
Look that up.
Don't look that up.
I cannot tell you. It's confidential.
So, yeah, this is what I'm playing.
Hand it to me.
Written, recorded, and produced by Slurred Oath
during the fall of 2023 through the spring of 2024.
Damn, it took you a while to write this one.
Yeah.
That tape looks short, too.
That's the deal.
Kind of short.
It took you that long to make a tape this short?
Jamie, you're a musician, like a real musician
and an experimental composer.
When you make a music,
how long should it take to fill up a tape that size?
To make that?
Hold the tape up, Joe.
What's that, a C20?
C20.
Yeah.
How long should it take you to make a C20?
If it's me, years.
But if it's anybody else, a couple hours.
Yeah, a couple hours.
Yeah, a couple hours.
This is the first edition of 100.
I anticipate a second edition.
Break me up!
I want to start seeing, like,
record it June 5th between noon and 3 p.m.
I want you to timestamp this.
Where's that Fred Frith tape?
And I also want to start seeing not mastered by
anyone written on I
want this is what the
liner note should be
recorded record it
Wednesday June 7th
between on my lunch
break not mastered hey
Joe when you look at
the spine of the Fred
Frith tape doesn't it
look like the like the
case is broken but it's
just like it's just the
art plays a trick on the
eyes and so it's a
little optical illusion
yeah those lines yeah I thought I was like man this this case is smashed up but it's it's just the art. It plays a trick on the eyes. It's an optical illusion for those lines.
Yeah.
I thought, I was like, man, this case is smashed up.
But it's doing fine.
Nope.
It's doing fine.
It's doing fine.
Are these track titles all like, there's Foxglove, Milkweed, Holy Thorn, and Lady's Mantle.
Yeah.
Are those all different?
Look at the name of the tape.
Oh, hold on.
Slurred Oath. No, no, no. Not the band name. Huh? What at the name of the tape. Oh, hold on. Slurred Oath.
No, no, no.
Not the band name.
Huh?
What?
The name of the tape.
Oh.
Already Dead Records.
No, no, no.
Oh, Already Dead Tapes.
Tapes, Tapes, Tapes.

No, what am I looking for?
Botanica?
Side A.
It's on the spine.
It's called Botanica.
Yeah.
Okay.
Those are plants.
Okay.
Botanica Gardens.
Botanica Gardens.
Kind of like Plantasia. Kind of like Plantasia. That's not realanica. Yeah. Okay. Those are plants. Okay. Botanica gardens. Botanica gardens. Kind of like plantasia.
Kind of like plantasia.
That's not real, by the way.
Plants.
I don't like that.
Planned Asia.
Planned Asia.
There you go.
All right.
Is it my turn to pick some tapes?
You can't do these on the show.
No, they're fine.
You can say the word Asia and plant, Jamie.
No, I can't.
I'm not going to react to it just in case.
All right.
I'm going to play.
I'm sure you're giving him a platform.
Change that question from your first official episode to when did I start spreading my filth on the airwaves?
All right.
I'm going to start off with this Solo tape
The one half of the Mothcock duo
This is something you can't say on the internet
Do you want to guess?
I'm going to guess Pat
It's not Pat, it's Doug
Do you want to guess the name of the project?
Not really
Shattered Hymen
That is a project I think
I think we've gotten there
That's why I just popped right in there.
Steel Dangerous.
Steel Dangerous.
Steel Dangerous.
New tape on...
How do you spell steel?
Like the metal.
Like the metal.
Like the metal.
Metal.
Like the metal up your ass.
The pain.
The pain.
Yes.
It's a 22-track C-92.
22-track C-92.
They don't make them like that.
C-92.
Hold on.
You can't see in the shell shell but look how much tape is in
the oh it's heavy hold on hold on yeah oh it's so heavy are you sure it's uh it's got that first of
all before we even get to the wacky shit i think you're trying to show your dominance over joe
yeah hey wasn't there a few years ago like some sort of shortage on like yeah ferric oxide or
something like the ferric oxide plants
were like getting the critical low levels right do we forget all about that but that's the crappy
tip you really want the chromium dioxide that's what we were we running out of that i think
maybe they thought it became so natural just to go into like the bin where they keep it and
shovel it out that no one noticed that it was getting so low that one day they went into the chrome oxide
closet and but a few sprinkles were left and they could only and the man came out and said
sir i can only make voice grade today i can only make voice grade this has got the orange imprinting
on the pink shell it's giving me sherbert vibes. It's got the pink Noroco case.
It looks tight.
And also, I'll point out,
wacky shit going on.
Wacky shit on the tape.
I won't even try to describe it.
You can just listen to it.
I could imagine so.
It's an edition of 100.
I'm pretty sure the label H&S Ranch,
I'm guessing it's run by Rick Weaver.
That's just a guess.
Why does that name sound so familiar to me?
You guys said Mike Watt earlier.
I forgot who that was.
Rick Weaver.
Rick Weaver was also in The Minutemen.
No, Rick Weaver, he...
I forget where he's from.
Did a split with Zach Kuhns.
Oh, right, right, right.
Tape on Unifactor, I believe.
Yeah, I love that stuff.
A lot of his shit was...
Kuhns and Weaver.
Kuhns and Weaver.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
You got it.
You're starting to creep me out.
But yeah, I'm going to play that.
I'm going to play that Steel Dangerous tape.
And why not...
Hmm.
Ooh, a foursome.

Where? What's good?
What's good out there, folks?
What's the haps?
Everything is good, I'm assuming.
You know what I want to talk to you about today?
Good.
I'm kind of tired of it.
There's a lot of...
Everybody's like, oh, good! It must be good.
I hope you're doing good. Are you doing good? Is it good for you? Was that good? doesn't all have to be good
blue blue skies you like blue skies i'm assuming yeah you like a nice blue sky don't you i bet you
do not me they drive me crazy i don't like any sky. They should just, I don't know, if we could somehow figure out how to put the ground up there,
have two grounds.
I like the sound of that.
I never even thought about having a ground up in the sky,
but the more, yeah, it may be dirt, a dirt sky.
Sky made out of dirt.
That sounds okay, right?
Dirt sky?
No, you people like the normal,
blue, everyday sky, I'm assuming, then, huh? Then, huh? Ugh. Blue, then, huh? Ugh. Ugh.
No. Not for me. Not for me. You know, it's been raining these past few days,
and I felt better than ever.
Nice, cold, wet rain.
And I felt better than ever.
The only thing I don't like about the rain
is I can't smoke cigarettes outside.
Most of the time that's not a problem
because I smoke most of my cigarettes inside.
But when it's really cold and raining
and say I have to go to work oh did you know i
got a new job yeah yeah that's right this don't pay the bills folks this is just for fun fun
fun's good right i like fun i think i like fun i've had it a couple of times now, and each time that I've had some fun, it's, I gotta say, it's been pretty okay. It's been pretty okay. I haven't minded it that much. I had some fun last weekend, let me tell you. I had some fun. Oh, my God. Let me tell you.
Last weekend, I was, uh...
Let's start on Wednesday.
We're going to start on Wednesday.
I was having a real good Wednesday.
A classic.
A classic.
Let me tell you. It was great. It was great. Everything was fine. There were no worries. I was working. It was slow. I was
down at the bar working, washing dishes, DJing, had some mean country hits playing, some real good stuff.
And a couple of knuckleheads came in.
And you know what they did?
They started skipping songs on my cue.
And you guys know how I get about my cues.
I get a little antsy, you know.
So, you know, I'm not one to resort to violence, folks.
I'm not one to resort to violence, but I had to slap these kids.
They were messing with the cue, and I had to slap them. So they each got one very soft, kind of like
a, what are you talking, like old Victorian age slap, you know? Just very like, put that,
put that, oh, a quick slap, slap across the face, just soft.
And they were mad, because these are folks that are younger,
stronger, healthier,
probably less fiscally responsible than I, if I have to say.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
But nonetheless, I learned a valuable lesson that day,
that you cannot hit your customers. Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. I'm ready to die. Thank you. We'll be right back. Drunk in the fury, the livery

Oh, but he's been playing twice today.
Twice today.
It doesn't seem very fair.
And I messed up.
And he's going to have diarrhea.
I didn't want to put the pressure on him.
Yeah, don't put any pressure on him.
You can go first.
No, so I didn't want to put any pressure on him.
I should really play a Dr. Peter J. Woods tape because I said he was my favorite guy.
Favorite guest.
Do you have one with you?
I'm going to play...
No, I want to do a 1981.
He has a block that he's brought up.
Oh, that's right.
Jamie always has a theme that he curates for us.
Grammatically, he has curated a theme.
Yeah, a mood.
I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it.
Jesus Christ.
50 episodes.
How many?
Probably 50 because there was about 23 bonus episodes,
about 25 episodes of the real show,
and then I've been scattered here and there.
Well, it's only since the 25 episodes of the real show
I've noticed your curation of the moods
from start to finish.
Well, I'm feeling more empowered now.
Yes, yes.
I'm feeling a little bit more ownership, you know?
I'm going to play this tape by Andrew Livingston,
Clock Orchard.
Clock Orchard?
Clock Orchard.
I almost, I picked it to play, and I almost didn't play it.
That's an AI name right there.
What?
I almost decided not to play it when I saw that the name is upside down on the spine.
Ah, yeah.
People get that wrong a lot.
I almost put it back.
I almost said, it's not that difficult when you're doing the layout with the J card.
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
That the text is facing to the left.
But, you know, I decided I'd do it anyway.
Give them the benefit of the doubt.
Okay, yeah, maybe they didn't do the artwork.
This is on gold bolus.
I've never heard of gold bolus.
What's a bolus?
I don't know what a bolus is.
Sounds like something like that.
Good job, Chase.
You went poopy.
The early Olympics.
Oh. Oh, the bolus. Coming up. The bolus. Oh.
Oh, the bolus.
Coming up.
The bolus.
But the gold bolus.
See, to me, it's like a goiter.
It's like something that sticks out of your neck.
Oh, he's got a, that bolus is looking bad.
Yeah.
My bolus is acting up.
God, it's a cute case of the bolus.
Mama mia!
I've been taking three Jardianses for my bolus.
It's getting a lot better.
Andrew Lewiston, Clark Orchard.
He is in a band that I've never heard of.
Have you heard of this band, Jamie? Ghost of Vroom.
Have not. Like a car?
Ghost of Vroom. That's fun.
I haven't heard of this band either.
One other person.
Mike Doty?
Darty? Doty?
Doty? Doty?
D-O-U-G-H-T-Y
Andrew Scrap Livingston.
That's Ghost of Vroom,
but this is a Livingston solo adventure.
Clock Orchard.
Yes, I'm just an old man yelling at meat shapes.
I'm digging the...
What color shell is this?
This is like...
Blue.
No, this isn't just blue.
Let me see.
What's the corn?
Corn flour.
Yeah, it's a corn flour.
That's a new one.
I think they just came up with that. That must be an import. Pastel corn flour. What's a cornflower? Yeah, it's a cornflower. Yeah. That's a new one. I think they just came up with that.
That must be an import.
Pastel cornflower.
Here's cornflower.
I love cornflower.
Oh, I'm going to text that right now.
I'm digging the layout.
They use this font, this calculator font.
Jamie, as a programmer, you come across that in the wild?
Oh, like a dot matrix style?
Like a dot matrix.
Are you ever doing...
I think it's like a clock font.
No, I use very modern programming languages.
No, you didn't.
I absolutely said a clock font.
Nope.
When you're ever doing programming,
does the screen ever turn green
and all of a sudden a skull will come up
and be like...
Oh, a skull.
Like you got a virus or you hit a firewall like you hit a firewall or i wish man
like newman put in a code like to block you that's from drastic park no i'm just using windows
using my uh visual studios and notepad plus plus that's it do you have to pay for notepad plus plus
no it's free it's free it's great you don't have to, but he does. Yeah. He's an honest guy. Were you a Notepad Plus user?
A Notepad Plus user?
No.
You know, it comes from, you know, you heard of C++, right?
Right.
That's a joke.
I use C+.
Oh, you use C++?
Yeah.
Hmm.
Was there a C++?
No, there wasn't.
So why did they add, why did they put plus plus?
Just, it sounds even more special.
I've heard, you know, it's like, why do they call it Wi-Fi?
Like, I know the answer, but I'm not going to be able to recall it. I could look it up for it's like, why do they call it Wi-Fi? Like, I know the answer, but I'm not going to be able to recall it.
I could look it up for you real quick.
Why do they call it Wi-Fi?
I never even thought about that before.
Welcome.
Wi-Fi is not an acronym.
Goodbye.
It's not a shortening.
It's just a name.
It's just a name.
It's like Calzone.
Calzone.
Gold Bullets number 75.
Yeah.
This came out in...
They got a lot of releases.
Who is this label?
Who else is on this label?
Let's take a look.
More releases.
They're from New York.
City?
The Big Apple.
It doesn't say, but let's just assume.
They got another tape by Andrew Livingston.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Or am I just on Andrew Livingston's band camp?
Andrew Livingston is from New York.
Oh.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Gold bol i'm sorry i apologize what's a bolus it's a rare artifact oh it's a rare artifact all
right going back to the cc plus plus question if you guys ever like written in any programming
language if you do like a variable like an integer and you do plus plus it increments it by one so
it's a joke based on that i knew that i knew I knew that. I knew that. I got that joke.
I just wanted to know if you got it. Yeah.
Do you know what year C, the programming language, came out in?
42?
No, way later.
45.
After the wall.
No, what year?
C?
Yeah, C.
Uh-huh.
67.
Oh, you're pretty close.
I would have guessed 80s, but it's the 70s.
70s.
Early 70s.
Isn't that crazy? They were doing like. Early 70s. Isn't that crazy?
Awesome.
Isn't that crazy? It really makes you think.
Alright, so you're playing this. I know what a bolus is.
What is a bolus? It's a single large
dose of medicine. I knew that because
for insulin, it's a bolus.
It did sound medical.
That's why I wanted you diabetic.
I knew that. This label is really speaking to you then.
Yeah, actually.
And it's a gold bolus.
I take gold boluses every day. I didn't realize.
Anyway, who else is on this label?
Oh, I figured
Jamie would have got that by now.
It looks like Andrew Livingston.
Andrew Livingston and another Andrew Livingston.
Pat O'Reilly, Anne Rhodes
and Christina Warren,
Dave Reuter,
you know, a bunch of people.
I've never heard of this label. Jeff Tobias.
Jeff Tobias?
There's a familiar name.
Remember when he said,
Jamie Orlando from Tabs Out when I met him in person
at the KODOT show?
Oh my god, the fucking KODOT show.
Stop talking about KODOT.
Stolen Valor. You're not from Tabs Stop talking about KO touch Stolen Valor Stolen Valor
You're not from Tabs Out yet
I'll let you know when you are
His words not mine
Alright well now you go
But I didn't
I didn't correct him
How's your stomach?
You feel okay?
I'm feeling a little bit
You know when Mike said
You're supposed to be doing this
I was like yeah I should be
But you know
Oh you're
Feeling a little down in the dumps
Feeling a little dejected right now
I'm so sorry Jamie
I've never thought about
What do you mean you're feeling dejected? What are you talking about?
After he leaves an episode, like, how are you feeling?
Oh, yeah. Jamie, that is a good question.
After leaving an episode,
how do you feel? Like a spanked ass?
No, I usually feel pretty good.
But, like, when I'm after the recording,
I feel like, what?
It doesn't matter.
Spanked ass.
I feel like a spanked ass sometimes. Because sometimes you guys make me feel like a spanked ass sometimes.
Because sometimes you guys make me feel like a spanked ass.
That's why.
Alright, next.
So I'm going second this time.
You're going second this time.
Which is...
That puts Mike last every block.
You suck!
Right now.
Alright, right now.
Ahora.
Okay.
Wyndham Hill Records.
Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire.
We talked about them a little.
I thought they were... I thought I knew more than I did about them. Let's put it that way. But it's a name that when you hear Wyndham Hill Records give me fuel give me fire give me that which I desire we talked about them I thought they were like I don't
I thought I knew more
than I did about them
let's put it that way
but it's a name
that when you hear
Wyndham Hill Records
you're like oh yeah
I've heard of them
but do you really know
Wyndham Hill Records
I don't really know
but I've seen their records
in the new age section
yeah
at the record store
according to Wikipedia
Wyndham Hill Records
was an independent record label
that specialized in
instrumental acoustic music
it was founded by guitarist William Ackerman
and was popular in the 80s
and 90s. I like this new
generation of music. I can't
find the paragraph, but it was basically saying it was
a home for music where it was hard to find a home for.
So a lot of it was, like you said,
new age music and
acoustic music. But that
didn't fit in. It wasn't like folk music.
It wasn't, you know yeah it wasn't you know
it's like the dog with like three legs the dog with three legs the goat or two butts yeah the
cat that's really old now this is not going to find out who this album is by william ackerman
who is the label founder and i found will windham hill's website and there's a great write-up about
this album on the website oh let's hear it windham hill sounds like a place like i'm gonna have to
put my mom in a few years.
Well, yeah, yeah.
It's nice.
It sounds nice.
Well, even the artwork is very plain
on all their releases.
I definitely have...
I think it's deliberately bland.
A few records from this label.
Yeah.
So anyway,
a musical and technologically transformative album,
Passage, is William Ackerman's fourth release
and the 14th Wyndham Hill Records issue.
Musically, Passage represents a breakthrough for Ackerman his prior album childhood and memory still showed folks folk music roots and he learned at the side of robbie basho and john fahey here
ackerman recasts four of his earlier compositions into his developing style there you go so like
american primitive is that what they call this jamie you're're a music guy, right? Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, so it's not just a coup.
There's some little subtle synths in the background. Oh, really?
Yeah.
This is a digital recording, Jamie.
Did you say that?
I did not say that.
It's called William Ackerman Passage, Pieces for Guitar, a Digital Recording.
How'd they do that back then?
Well, you know, I don't really know about digital.
Oh, wait, hold on.
Technically, Passage is important, as is one of the first purely digital albums released worldwide. That's crazy. then well you know i don't really know about digital oh wait hold on technically passage is
important as is one of the first purely digital albums released worldwide that's crazy oh my god
oh my and we and our sorry asses get to play it now yeah here's another i'm gonna cherry pick
another sentence while early digital recordings often sound thin and etched in comparison to the
best analog pieces harn soper and the engineering team at the music annex avoided this with some
creative mixing yeah you With some creative mixing.
Yeah, exactly.
You get that creative mixing.
I'm glad you said you're going to cherry pick a sentence, because he's been lately, have
you heard Jamie talking about, I'm going to cherry pop this sentence?
Cherry pop?
Stop saying that.
Yep.
So that's my tape.
Put that out for sure.
Pretty good tape.
I mean, admittedly, I had to find a third tape from 1981, and I didn't want to pick metallica kill them all or uh the in my life in the bush of ghosts so
i went with this guy and it's good i think this fits more into the podcast yeah what's with this
hole you punched this hole in the cover yeah it's from the library you stole this or something
oh where did i get this this one came from an ebay lot yeah i did a windham hill ebay lot it's got a
little like hole in the top corner so you can like hold it up real close and read it but if someone comes in the room no i bet that's a clue
it's a clue oh you gotta hold that up at a certain place like if you put it on their
wikipedia page you gotta go to that what's on the cover those palm trees that place okay yeah
and you hold that up like the goonies and that'll give you the code for the lock see i think you're
holding it you're reading it,
then somebody walks in and you don't get distracted.
So you keep it right in front of your face and look through the hole.
Oh, hi, Joe.
I'm just over here reading my Willem Ackerman.
Willem.
Willem Ackerman.
You guys see Willem Ackerman in Beetlejuice?
It's a synthesizer.
Oh, wow.
Look at this.
This tape looks like old as shit, Jamie.
Yeah.
I just thought of
one with low hanging fruit but i think it's funny anyway i'm gonna text it all right and then uh
that ends with me ends with you all right i got i'm gonna play one of these i have two but
only one will be played uh flop house sent over a couple of new ones. Flophouse has been a label that's been... They've been around for a while,
have sent us a bunch of stuff.
They got this, you know, this paper.
Is it hand-painted, each one, or is it just...
I think it's a copy.
It's a copy of the painting, now that I have it out.
Or did they paint this paper?
I can't tell.
It's definitely stamped.
Like, they stamped the artist's name on it.
Oh, that...
Yeah, this is marbled paper, right? It's like marbled paper, right? Yeah. oh that yeah this is a marbled paper it's like
marbled paper right okay so this i have a tape here one of them is by cares and one is by robert
eggplant oh i think i'll play the robert eggplant one i'm gonna let me start it here in the
background a little bit i'll play it on my computer off of bandcamp any relation to marlo
eggplant that's a good question.
Alright, listening to this, I'm going to
ask you, now I'm going to become the quiz master.
Now I am the quiz master.
The tables have turned and
I am the quiz master. Stop my recording
messed up there. No, I'm just kidding.
So here's my question to you.
There are two Robert
eggplants on Discox.
How's that possible?
Hold on, don't go to Discogs.
He immediately opened the tab.
He's got another computer dedicated to all of those.
You know, they make Discogs slower.
Have you guys noticed that recently?
No.
No.
No one fucking noticed that.
Are you kidding me?
It's really slow now.
Okay, so this Robert Eggplant that we're listening to now,
do you think it is Luke Hayhurst, an experimental musician from Brucie, Idaho,
who has released tapes on histamine tapes?
Or do you think it's Robert Burnett, the punk guitarist from California, or the founding member of The Plex. The design and the sound is for Operation I, the Plex.
You know who I think it is?
I think it's Robert Burnett, born in 1973, better known as Robert Eggplant,
is an American writer, publisher, musician, and activist from Canary, California.
That's the one I'm talking about.
Yeah, who was in Plex.
You think it's him?
Yeah.
I don't think so.
You don't think so?
There's no... It's the about. Yeah. Who was in Black. So you think it's him? Yeah. I don't think so. You don't think so. I guess the experimental.
Yeah.
Okay.
The experimental musician and sound artist from Disney.
I don't know.
That plays this?
Yeah.
Now this tape, I'll say this.
No Job is a Dream, which is the 2024 Flockhouse tape I'm listening to now,
is listed on the Hay-Hurst disc box.
All right.
This tape.
But on the other Robert Burnett or the other Robert Eckplant, there is a comma on his
tape that is listed on his.
So inconclusive.
Well, you know what?
Inconclusive.
The latter Robert Eckplant has a Wikipedia page.
So, Luke, you might want to snap it up just a little.
Well, there's really no way to tell which one it is.
Yeah.
But, yeah, I'm going to go out.
I'll stop playing this now.
Actually, this Robert Eklund article says it's poorly sourced
and potentially libelous.
Are you serious?
You want to add some other shit to it?
Yeah, this guy's a real asshole.
Oh, no. Well, let's stay away from that all right so this i'm sure they're both fine gentlemen flop house is a michigan label uh both these tapes just came out like uh you know within the
last few oh looks like the last few weeks for right now september jams got it you got it baby
all right so i'm gonna Do this Robert eggplant
End the episode on that
No job is a dream
And then are we gonna do
A nub report
After the
Well I might have to
Spend some time
That might have to be
A whole other segment
I come over here
Okay
I didn't bring my
Special glasses

Failed.
