Hi, this is Christopher Merritt and you're listening to Tabs Out. Hello.
Tabs out.
Cassette Podcast episode number 21.
21.
Sammy Sosa's number.
Blackjack.
You know what's really funny?
I was trying to look up facts about the number 21
and it was like on uh golden casino.com facts about the number 21 it's like why does this page
even fucking exist because i'm probably the only person that ever looked at it no no there's a lot
of people look at it facts about the number 21 yeah and it was like whatever like on casino
website whatever asshole owns the casino
who had his nephew who knows computers
to do the website and he's trying to fill it out with
stuff and he added that. Put some
facts about the number 21. You know what's good?
You know what people like? The number 21. We got a
guest book. Yeah, exactly. We need it.
Black Jack. We need one of those. We need a
frequently... I want a frequently asked questions
section.
Just questions that they make up.
Is that about to be a thing of the past?
FAQ on a website?
I think that already is a thing of the past.
Depends.
I love when you look at websites that have that
and there's definitely questions that you know
aren't frequently asked.
I can think of,
I'm not going to say who it is,
but there is a smaller label
that has like three releases out at the time
and had a frequently asked question
about stuff
and I was like no you're not getting frequently asked about
and I remember one of them was
do you have any plans to do vinyl
and it was like
as if they were getting
so many people
it's like listen we can't respond to, listen, we can't respond to all these
emails.
I can't respond to all these emails about this.
Oh, man.
Christopher Merritt there
doing the intro in a bathroom.
In a bathroom at the Stone in New York City.
I thought I recognized that echo.
Yeah, we didn't just use the bathroom
preset echo thing in an audition or anything.
We actually went in a bathroom for our disastrous trip to New York that we took.
Disastrous?
Well, Dave and I, as we mentioned last episode,
were heading up to New York to play a couple of gigs.
Two gigs in New York and a show in Connecticut.
And there was some weather.
Some snow kept
everything kind of
low-key.
As in the one year.
You had a good time.
Oh yeah, we had a great time. Thanks to
Josh and Jesse and Matt for
putting us up at the Hexbreaker
drone compound. Is that what it's called?
That's what it's called.
So many toys.
I saw some pics.
If I can remember it, I'll announce their
Wi-Fi password later on.
But the show
at the Stone, the Tranquility...
Was John Zorn there?
No, no one was.
But it was
a good time. I had a good time
the door man
the door guard
looked like the guy
from workaholics
yeah he did
the curly hair guy
really
yeah
I think he stole
my phaser pedal
he might have
stole your phaser pedal
either way
I didn't come in with it
so what's that place like
is there a bar in there
no it's just like
what
it's just a room
it's just a room
there's a room
you know what's really weird
about it
is like you walk in and there's like there was like chairs set up and just a room there's a room you know what's really weird about it is like you walk in
and there's like
there was like
chairs set up and stuff
and then there's
like the space in the back
where you like perform
and then behind you
is the bathroom
so like
if you're playing
apparently from what I heard
like when Rachel Evans
was playing
the first night
the motion sickness
of time travel set
she was about to play
and then someone got up
and went into the bathroom
and I was like,
well, do I wait now?
Because it's like literally
like the place isn't that big.
Right.
And there's not
and the bathroom is like
literally like right behind you.
That's awesome.
Yeah, it's pretty funny.
But yeah,
Connecticut show
got snowed out as well.
The Connecticut show
was going to happen,
but I guess there was
a travel ban.
Oh, right, right, right.
So we got lifted.
Damn government
trying to tell me what to do. Fucking Obama. Oh, right, right, right. So we got lifted. Damn government. Trying to tell me what to do.
Fucking Obama.
So, yeah.
Trying to tell you what to do.
So, yeah.
But, you know,
we made the best of it.
Good times.
Yeah, it was a good time.
While I was up there,
Segway.
Segway.
Segway.
While I was up there,
we went to,
oh, the pancakes?
Where were they?
I was talking about those
all day today.
Were you?
Not really.
They were classic New York pancakes?
They were... We'll talk about it a little bit.
All right, all right.
Well, we went to Academy Records,
and I came across this David Lackner tape.
They had...
It was really weird,
because I was looking around the place for cassettes,
and I couldn't really find anything.
And then underneath some of the LPs,
there was just this little area
where they were just thrown and
some of them weren't in the cases anymore. I don't think they really
focused too much on cassettes.
But I recognized the name David Lackner
and at the time I couldn't remember from where.
So I just bought it
anyway and then figured it out
afterwards that it's the dude who
released that tape on Pezza Magic.
So I picked that up.
What label is that on Joe while you're holding it?
I have no idea. You want to use your
eyes and look at it?
Dave can say it.
So the answer is no.
Galtia. Galtia?
Galtia.
I was going to say something else.
Galta. Galta Media.
But there's an I in there.
There's no I.
It's G-A-L-T-T-A.
The I silent and invisible.
Oh, I thought that...
Okay, so it's Galta then.
Galta.
Galta.
So this David Lackner tape called
My Leader, the Baby is Dead.
Which he has a cover.
He covers Oh Danny Boy.
Are you going to play that?
No, I'm going to play the first track.
Make it soon.
It's a short one.
We played David Lackner before.
So we won't harp on this too much.
That other David Lackner tape is awesome.
Yeah, this one's really good too.
I was looking at something on his website
and it didn't mention anything about saxophone.
But I think there's some sick sax on here.
I think it's the EVI, isn't it?
Yeah, that's what I think it is.
There's EVI on there. I read in the liner.
Oh, you couldn't say the name of the label.
But that, you were just fine
to intrude on my personal information.
That was fine.
Alright, so let's start it off with a track
from the David Lackner tape,
My Leader, The Baby Is Dead,
on Galta without an I.
Number five. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. David Lackner.
It's like some music when there's a key party going on.
Is that the music for a key party?
There's one guy in the window.
Like outside looking in?
No, he's inside the house.
He's in the window and you just see his silhouette with the moon in the background. He's are you still outside looking in? No, he's inside the house. He's in the window and you just see
his silhouette
with the moon
in the background.
He's like,
oh,
that sucks.
All right,
I can see
where you're going now.
God,
your computer's
so hot,
Dave.
Yeah,
this Gunslinger IPA
is good as shit,
man.
Yeah,
where's that from?
Crown Valley Brewing.
Crown Valley Brewing.
I'm into it.
The Gunslinger.
You got a tape you're into?
Me?
Missouri.
Me?
Don't try to push this along.
I was talking to Dave, but...
Yeah, I got a couple tapes I'm into.
Joe, you want to go or you want me to go?
No, no, you go, Dave.
All right.
I'm going to do this Kayaka tape.
Kayaka.
Kayaka.
On Mantle.
Mike, do you know anything about Mantle?
I don't know.
No, they sent us...
I don't know if we played anything on Mantle yet.
I have that Bird, B-U-U-R-D tape.
That is really good,
but I don't think we got around to playing it last time.
I don't remember.
I can't remember this person's name
that does this project,
but their first name is Kaya
and then the first two letters
in her last name is K-A.
So that's how they get their name right.
Look at that.
A story behind the mystery.
A story behind the mystery.
I really like some of the track titles in this tape too.
It's like how Star Wars was written by
a star
named Orzario
Rementi.
They said, name it Star Wars.
Star Wars.
Feeding Centipede at a Pond of Blood
is one of the track titles.
That's one of the track titles?
We're going to play two tracks off of this.
One's called Algae Bloom. The other one's called
Screaming Hair on a Road.
You sent me the name of that earlier. You really like that one, huh?
It's ridiculous. I love it.
And this is another weird...
I'm starting to think that... What kind of hair are you
picturing? Speaking of hairs...
Like a pile of pubic hair. Speaking of hairs,
did you get that picture of that boil on
Sal's stomach? No. Oh, it's
disgusting. It's an ingrown
hair. How did you get it? He sent it to me. I didn't get it. You didn't get it? I. It's an ingrown hair.
How did you get it?
He sent it to me. I didn't get it.
You didn't get it? I'll text him while we play this tape.
I'll forward it to you. It's gross.
That's disgusting. Yeah, disgusting.
It looks really big in the picture, but it's actually really small. Just to connect this all to
cassette tapes.
I just wanted to mention that it's
all from Peasant Magic. Yeah, there we go.
There you go.
He's gross and has a boil.
He's disgusting and only eats gummy worms.
Yo, I've got a...
A boil?
He sent it to me and said,
should I send that to popthatsit.com?
I hate that site.
I can't watch that shit, man.
So gross.
I'm starting to think that all these weird
shells and stuff are all coming from the UK
because Mantle is a UK label.
Look at this one. This has got a shine to it.
I was going to say,
they don't blind me.
Is this a flimsy window?
Yeah, I got a few of those.
I got a few of those I want to talk about later.
That's weird.
It's got the waffle grip on the bottom.
And no screws No screws
I hate the flimsy windows
I feel like I'm going to poke it
Yeah that's
Like your fingers
I can't help it
I'm just going to go right through it
Just don't touch it
What is this called again?
Star Wars Kayaka
The tape is called Operation Deep Freeze too, but just don't touch it. What is this called again? Star Wars? Kayaka.
The tape is called Operation Deep Freeze.
We're going to play two cuts. Two tracks off of
Mantle Records
from the UK. Thank you. so
so Thank you. I'm sorry. Thank you. Thank you. so Thank you. so Thank you. so
so We'll be right back. so
so Woo! Woo!
Woo! so
so so so
wow so Thank you. Here we go. You should have said tissue paper and tinfoil.
Yeah, easy with the covers.
Whoa.
Kayaka. Kayaka.
Kayaka on Mantle.
What did you do to this tape?
Jesus Christ.
That was a good jam, Dave.
Yeah.
That was on Mantle Records out of the UK, right?
Yeah, it sounded like screaming hair on a road.
See, I was imagining a wig, and the wig had a mouth.
No, no, no. No, I was wrong? You were wrong. Okay, well, I don imagining a wig and the wig had a mouth. No, I was wrong?
You were wrong.
I don't mind being corrected.
Alright, Joe, after you completely destroyed these,
do you want to play one?
Yeah, I was looking through and I grabbed some of Mike's tapes.
Let's play, this is a Keith Ford
tape that you got over the weekend, right?
Yeah, I think it was in December
put out
two live
tapes. Like a collection
of live stuff.
They're pretty fucking awesome.
There's like the baby blue
Noralcos.
This one goes in that one.
This one goes in that one. And like the tapes
themselves are like the light blue
tint with a silver
foil inlay thing.
Let me see that one again real quick.
Let's see.
The one we're playing is going to be...
It's live.
Live in Spain is the one that I put.
Okay.
What are they called?
Live concussions or something like that?
Live occlusions.
Live occlusions.
Okay.
Now the way...
Look at this number here that I'm putting.
It's 120419.
Do you think he's using
the European, that it's actually
four... I don't know where you're pointing at. You're actually just covering something up
with your finger.
I got it now. Just put it like behind
your head. At the end.
120419.
In the American way, it's...
Yeah, because we haven't hit 2019 yet.
No, we haven't.
How many times has the moon...
Mercury.
The covers for these are like...
How many months are on Mercury?
Like blue tinfoil with tissue paper behind it.
Don't let Joe behold it,
because he'll just manhandle it.
It's mainly modular stuff.
I thought it was the pizza guy.
You thought the pizza guy was texting you?
You worked out a relationship
with the pizza guy while you were ordering something?
Alright, you can still get
these on... What's the name of the
label? I don't know. You're looking at it.
I forget.
I think it's like...
It's the
record store
distro place.
What does he do? I can't pronounce it.
I forget what it's called. Aquarius.
An M.
Muralog?
Maybe something like that.
Mimeraglue or something?
Weird.
He was pretty close.
Their packing tape smells really weird.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
It's like a chemically smell.
Oh.
It's probably that dollar store tape.
I'll have to take that up with Uline.
Yeah.
I'll email their customer service.
You opened an account there, didn't you?
I did, yeah.
I got a free tape dispenser one time because I ordered so much packing tape.
For a while, I was biting on my packing tape to cut it, because I just didn't feel like using scissors.
I'd just bite down, and that shit tastes gross, man.
Oh, yeah.
I bet it would taste really gross with this tape.
As soon as it came, it was like I smelled it a mile away.
All right, well, let's play a little bit of this live
Keith Fullerton Whitman tape.
I don't know if it's number one or number two,
but here it is. Thank you. Beep. Beep. Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep. Beep. I'm going to go ahead and eat this. Thank you.... Thank you. I don't know. Thank you. Thank you. Oh Thank you. I'm going to go to the new one. Keith Fuller to Whitman.
I push my buttons.
I like that.
Yeah, man.
You were jamming that whole time, Dave, using your body over there.
Yeah.
You know what I was saying?
I haven't really enjoyed the modular stuff since the laptop stuff,
but I got into it.
I saw you nodding your head.
I got into it.
Once you said it was modular free jazz,
then I sort of had an appreciation for it.
Yeah.
That was Lab Occlusion's number one.
Number two, also available.
It's a C48, and number one is a c62 tons of jams for you i listened to both of them the other day it's pretty uh pretty pretty pretty pretty good i
mean it's not all like you know it's all modular stuff but it's not all loopy-bloopy. A lot of
going on.
Are we going to talk about that?
Do you want to talk about that?
What?
About the one time in Baltimore?
No, we're not going to talk about that.
Well, I already brought it up.
We're obligated to talk about it now.
I don't think it's that big of a deal.
I think I was given an honest critique.
But apparently I made a fool of myself.
You made a fool of yourself
when you told Keith Overwoman
to, can I critique your set?
Well, he played it into a fun fest.
You saw him in a fun,
you saw him in Baltimore.
You're like, you know what,
can I give you a critique?
And he's like, oh yeah.
Too many bloops and bleeps.
No, I think I said too many squibbles.
Too many squibbles.
It was a little too many squibbles for my liking.
And then he frowned at you and turned around and turned away.
Whatever.
Whatever.
It was a lot of squibbles.
Too many squibbles.
Maybe if you don't squibble so much.
Kind of like a ridiculous... I mean, I even think of like a a critique that wouldn't be
ridiculous for like stuff like this i was being honest i was being honest whatever whatever man
dave you want to go hilarious yeah, I'll go.
Let's do... We can do this
Data Shock tape.
Data Shock or Data Shock?

Who are we talking about?
Data, Spoke,
Quark,
Captain Quark.
Captain Quark?
Quark you mean from DS9, The Bartender?
Quark?
Captain Kirk.
I was doing a little bit where I was saying all the names from Star Trek characters
but a little bit different.
Those are all also names of Star Trek characters.
Okay.

Well, Cork.

He's the bartender from DS9.
He's a Ferengi.

You know, yeah.
I like the...
The Tad tape last week?
Oh, yeah. He like the... The Tad tape last week? Oh, yeah.
He brought the heat.
Yeah.
This one takes a little while.
Builds and builds.
But I promise it's going to be good.
You just wait.
If you promise.
I really like the handwritten text on the inside of these J cards for the writer.
Well, that's how you do handwritten text.
Yeah. It can be done right. That's not that's not right text yeah they wrote it and then oh it's not like it's not like they wrote it they didn't write each one yeah but that's how it works yeah no you gotta
have nice handwriting no it looks real nice it's nice and like kind of centered you know like
centered aligned like you was doing a word processor
or something.
Word processor.

There's still word processors, Joe.

You did get skipped
And I apologize
You know what we should mention
That we didn't Mention at the top of the program?
What's that?
About how we have a new, I don't even know what you would call it.
It's not like a subscription.
It's not like a, I don't know what it is, but basically.
It's a subscription.
It's kind of like a subscription.
Tell us all about it.
Let me tell you all about it.
If you go to tabzell.com on the internet,
direct to your browser, www.tabzell.com.
If you go to the site, we always accepted donations.
Yes, we did.
Because we live very lavish lifestyles.
And equipment's always breaking.
And you've got to pay for the website and stuff.
But we decided to do a yearly,
like you can donate,
I think it's like 50 bucks for the year.
I'm glad you got this all worked out.
Yeah, I got all the details.
And in return,
we're going to be making limited cassette tapes
just for well for us
me Joe and Dave
and the artist and the artist and whoever
signs up for
the subscription right
but it's not just one subscription
you've got a you've got a three tier
subscription oh yeah there's
the normal bias subscription or
normal bias donation which is you just make a donation to us and we say thank you there's the normal bias subscription or normal bias donation,
which is you just make a donation to us and we say thank you.
There's the high bias donation,
which is you set up a monthly donation
for $2 a month for as long as you like
and you get some goodies from time to time.
Now the Chrome donation, that's the big one.
That's the biggest.
And that's the one that you get the tapes.
That's the $50 a year and you get like,
let's say three to five five. Exclusive tapes.
Tapes that we'll release.
I know the first one is going to be
an afterlife bedroom
roped off collaboration
that we recorded
back in November.
Then you know
random other goodies from time to time.
Whatever we come up with.
If you'd like to do that to help pay for...
Because the website expires at the end of next month.
So we're really scrambling.
So there's that.
Also on the website, while you're there,
I did a little...
Not really an interview, but I talked a little bit
to the guy who does the blog, Honest Bag, about his blog a little, not really an interview, but I talked a little bit to the guy who does the blog,
Honest Bag, about his
blog a little bit and wrote a little bit about that.
If you
know how to read, if you do more than
listen, then
that's up to you.
I'm going to play this tape.
This tape by Winterline
on
Armwar.
It's like Armwar, like the French, but it's A-U-M-W-A-R. This tape by Winterline on Armour. Armour.
It's like Armour, like the French, but it's A-U-M-W-A-R.
Armour.
Armour.
A very dark, gloomy, I don't want to say gothy, but there's Joby coming back from something.
He was getting some pizza.
You know, dark synth beats and crumbly, very grim tape.
It's grim.
All black and white artwork.
A little picture of something going on there.
Some guy's faith in the cover.
That's a person of some sort.
I like the little, on the spine, there's a little sad face.
It's like the Nirvana logo, except it's got circles for eyes.
Speaking of Nirvana, today I watched a video that
Kurt Cobain playing drums,
David Grohl playing bass, and Chris
Novoselic playing
Novoselic playing guitar.
Alright.
That's from 1991. Were they playing Nirvana songs?
No, it was a song that they never made to a record.
But Kurt Cobain's still
singing. You see this on the internet?
YouTube. Like Phil Collinsain's still singing. You see this on the internet? YouTube.
Like Phil Collins.
Phil Collins.
Alright, so let's jam

songs. I don't have cable.

I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm not afraid of the dark There is no time to die.
I went blind.
Then I had an hemorrhage and I fell, and I died in a chair in the corner downstairs.
Joe.
Joe B's got the hit-ups.
Winterline Cassette, Project One,
Stephen Vallett from Central Falls, Rhode Island.
Two tracks from that.
You alright, Joe?
I don't know if anyone's picking up Joe's weird burps.
Not burps, but hiccups.
Yeah, burps.
There's a good one.
It's your meat and hot peppers.
I wanted to mention
the person
who
told me that you could do
recurring payments on PayPal
was, I'm not going to say
his name right, but Joe
Bajda?
Joe Bajda.
From Colorado, I think he was.
So thanks to Joe for
that one.
Joe Bajdy.
Alright. I'm sure nobody's ever laughed at the game before. It's uncontrollable. for that one. Joe Vagdy.
All right.
I'm sure nobody's ever laughed at the game before.
It's uncontrollable.
Dave, you want to play something?
Back to you already.
Back to me already?
The pressure's on.
All right.
I can't do anything about it.
You can do something about it.
Jesus Christ. Get it together, boys. I it. Jesus Christ.
Get it together, boys.
I know.
Come on.
You can't do this alone.
I'm just hoping you forgot to turn our mics on.
We have to do this again.
Not this time.
Let's do this Time Live tape.
This is an oldie.
This is a classic.
An oldie.
Coming from recorded in 1942.
This cassette.
Time Life.
No, Time Life is...
His name's Time Life, but you know him as Chubby Checkers.
Nautilus and Nonhorse.
That's their collaboration.
I didn't know that.
I think I got this tape
when Tabzat was like the review blog.
I first got this tape. I think the label this tape when Tabs Out was the review blog. I first got this tape.
I think the label Abandoned Chip sent it in.
Yeah, okay.
Is that a New York label?
Yes.
Do we know who does it?
No, we don't.
But they've done like Slasher's Tape, Twisty Cat.
You know what?
I think that's the label.
It was either Abandoned Chip or I think it was Abandoned Chip
that did a tape by a project called my morning
jack off
that's a good one yeah
that was a good time
it always is
let's see what we got
alrighty
I hate tapes now this is like extreme
nitpicking but like when the company
that makes the tapes puts like the,
uh,
all the code,
like the note eight,
three,
one 38,
Oh three,
six,
nine,
like all like thick across the top.
I don't know why I don't like it,
but like,
I don't like it because I can't,
uh,
figure out how long the tape is.
I like with 38.
Is the middle number?
Yeah.
I think that's the length.
You think so?
But like,
I like a good
crisply
printed 38
right on the top and that's it.
No, I'm with you on that. Unless it's a different
length, then I'll take that number.
It doesn't have to be 38, boys.
I like the ones that say Jesus is the Lord across
the top. Oh yeah, I had like 200 of those.
I wonder if that I sold them to
some dude who said he was putting it out of the comp.
I wonder if it ever came out.
Never know.
We'll never know.
All right, well, let's get...
Abandon ship always has really nice patterns
on the inside of the jet cards.
Yeah, the inside of the jet cards
always have like the line drawings in black and white.
And it's made into like a continuous pattern.
Yeah.
Yeah, they are all like that, aren't they?
This one's got like
a lady, like a princess perhaps
surrounded by some sort of
gargoyle,
gargoylian creature.
Paint me a picture.
Keep going.
And there's like a boar,
like a half boar, half human.
Like he was a human
and then a witch cast a spell upon him to turn him into
a boar. And now he wears this
pentagram necklace around his neck
that he can't get off.
But when he does get it off,
when he gets the kiss of his
true love, who I'm pretty sure is the princess,
he'll be able to
take off the necklace and turn it into his natural
self.
Which, you're not buying any of this?
You don't think this is?
Okay.
Dave, you're looking at me like you want more.
I'm captivated.
You're looking at me like you want more.
You painted the picture.
I did paint the picture.
You done hiccuping over there?
I think I'm done.
All right, amateur.
All right, time life, open to both sides on a bent C38.
You can tell by the number in the middle of the top on abandoned ship. I'm sorry. so I'm sorry. so I don't know who I am
But I am
I am
If you are Thank you. so
so so
so so
so I'm not sure if I can do it. Thank you. so
so Thank you. so
so Thank you. Time life.
Right when I took a bite.
Right when I took a bite.
On a bandage chip.
Oldie but a goodie.
Not that old, right?
Not old, but like 2009 or 10 or something like that.
Nine or 10 or...
All right, B.
So I'm going to play a tape from...
We got some tapes from the Bomb Shop.
Bomb Shop from the UK.
I got a lot to say about this label.
A lot?
Yeah.
Well, first of all, let's start here.
I want to show...
I already showed...
I'm getting intoxicated looking at this.
Well, first of all, let's talk about this.
All the tapes came... Now, you said, Joe, it was not part of the packaging. No, first of all, let's talk about this. All the tapes came...
Now, you said, Joe, it was not part of the packaging.
No, I think I'm wrong.
I take it back after the other thing.
They're all in little, tiny
elven packages.
All like
wrapped with twine
with little tags hanging from them.
With the number for the release.
I don't know if you noticed, Joe.
They're numbered on one side.
On the back of the tag, there's a sticker
with a barcode.
A legit barcode.
I didn't notice that.
That's why I was like, this is whatever.
I didn't realize that.
Take those, the ones I threw in the trash out.
You got all the paper all up there in a pile.
All the tapes are...
I went through all these yesterday.
All very unique.
I showed this to Joe earlier, or Dave earlier,
and I think we talked about it already.
The flimsy window.
A lot of flimsy, if you can hear this.
Yeah.
The window of the tapes.
That's gross.
Okay.
The Norocos.
There's a bunch of...
Play with your window.
There's like...
The Noroco for this tape,
which we're going to play,
Rough Fields,
You Is You,
Bombshop number 11,
is like the back of the Noroco is red.
It's like a translucent red.
Yeah.
It's like a...
It's like a Victoria's Secret bag.
Sweetheart red.
I think it's sweetheart red Noroco.
And then there's another one in there that's like... I think like a cream. There's like a Sweetheart Red. I think it's Sweetheart Red. And then there's another one in there that's
I think like a cream. There's a pink.
There's a blue.
That is a cream and a pink.
Look at that. I kind of wish they were
on the same.
I wish I had a sneaker.
Oh, start opening these tapes up.
They all just look so edible.
I know I had more to say about them.
But then...
This one. Well, let's not get to that just yet. Because maybe there's I know I had more to say about them. But then, this one.
Well, let's not get to that just yet.
Because maybe there's one more thing I wanted to say
before we get to the moneymaker.
You know, I can't find it, so let's just talk about that.
So all these ones, you know,
the Norelco goes with the color of the tape.
Well, this one does too.
So we get this one that I thought was called Shinobi
because that's what the spot says.
And then
it's a green Norelco with a green tape.
But the tape says
So far, so good.
Cordial yours, Ambrosia.
And then while me and Dave are looking
at the J card,
Joe had a look on his face like,
What? And Dave said, huh?
Because there's a lot of, there's some
handwritten text and some stickers.
But on top of like a
printed J card. On top of a real printed
J card for Shinobi the video game.
Now it turns out
Dave. Yeah, this
is like, there's
there's like a console
that was made in the UK that plays cassettes called Spectrum Cassettes.
Which is insane.
I've never heard of this system.
I'm going to need one of those.
How have we never heard of this system?
I don't know.
But this J-Card is like a recycled Shinobi Spectrum Cassette.
On the spine of the J-Card it says Virgin Games.
Yeah. And there's a barcode and on the spine of the J-Card it says like Virgin Games. Yeah, and there's like a barcode
and there's like screenshots of the game on here.
So it played graphics.
Which I guess isn't crazy
because a VCR plays.
It's kind of like a floppy disk
but more advanced, right?
Well, a VCR plays like video.
Yeah, but that doesn't change.
Yeah, but this is like a video game. This is like a video game.
Video games came on floppy disks too.
You loaded those
onto your computer.
No. When I played Joust
on the big floppy,
you had to have the floppy in.
It's kind of like that.
Didn't the cassette tape go into a keyboard?
Like a computer keyboard?
It was a computer keyboard with a cassette tape player on the end.
But then we saw those other pictures that actually had a cartridge sticking out of the top of a keyboard.
What was...
Bill Biggs, babe.
Commodore 64 was a keyboard, right?
Yeah, yeah.
It was like a computer.
It wasn't a controller.
It may have had a controller.
You typed commands.
I don't know. I don't remember.
Somebody I know had one of those.
Might and Magic.
My neighbor had it.
I don't understand how we've never even heard of this tape.
I also don't understand how
are all the J cards for this tape
recycled J cards from Shinobi?
Or are, yeah, the other copies of this tape, are they just random J cards and someone had the Shinobi one that they sent us?
Because it's green and it goes with the green Norelco.
Yeah.
So, or are they all, they found a box full of the Shinobi tapes.
Dave's got to look at his face like he has discovered something sinister.
He did.
What is going on over there, Dave?
Are you alright?
What is it?
The description of this game
on the J card.
Let's hear it.
Enjoy frantic oriental action in this ninja
beat-em-up.
Search for kidnapped children and disposed of marauding thugs
with blows from fist feet and shirking stars.
Wait, what was the first line?
Yeah, start from the beginning.
Start from the oriental part.
Oh, my lord.
Enjoy frantic oriental action In this ninja beat em up
Listen
Laugh all you want
But I do enjoy frantic oriental action
I do
I like ninja beat em ups
I love ninja beat em ups
Oh man
So yeah I'm very intrigued by this label Bomb Shop Oh, man.
So, yeah, I'm very intrigued by this label, Bomb Shop.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is... I still don't quite understand what this system is
because I'm getting kind of shoddy Google results.
How does Google not know?
Somebody get in touch with us over in the UK.
There's also another tape on this label
That comes in like a
One of those like
X-ray proof
What are these called?
Static proof
Like an easy pass if you're from like
The east coast of the United States
I bet you couldn't X-ray through this
Fuck both of you
I bet you if you went to an x-ray
place to get an x-ray and you were wearing
a shirt made out of this, they would make you
take it off. They would say, you don't have any bones.
Have you seen that? They have clothing now
that this company is making.
What's the thing in the airport
that the x-ray thing is? Airplanes.
Sparrows. Cinnabon.
Starbucks.
It's clothing that then the machine that X-Rays you
can't see through.
Ah.
So it's like this fashionable clothing
that then when you wear it in the airport, they can't.
So I guess it just leads to a strip search.
Well, maybe that's what you want in the first place.
You know, a nice pair of stonewashed jeans
and some nice reliable British knights
is all I really need.
But anyway, in this static slash x-ray proof bag,
there's a little C1 continuous loop tape
that has weird holes.
It doesn't have all the holes on the bottom.
I couldn't play this on my regular deck.
Oh, you got to drill some new ones with your hole drill.
Fuck you.
Damn Brits.
So yeah, this is a crazy...
But anyway, we're going to play...
Where'd it go? Here it is.
Rough Fields.
I like this cover.
Well, a lot of the covers, not all of them, but a lot of them are just
white with the name on them.
That's why I say these other three
sort of go together.
I feel like they all go together.
But then you've got
the Shinobi one
and then the loop tape
that just throws the whole
thing into a...
I like the paper this is printed on.
It's got a tooth to it.
That's like a classic crest.
Look at that field picture
on the inside.
That's a surprise. That's a a classic crest. Look at that field picture on the inside. That's a surprise.
That's a rough field.
That's nice. I like that. I like that contrast.
Alright, well I think it's side B.
There's no screws either. It's just divots on both sides.
Where the screw would be.
How's it getting held together?
Oh, I remember what I wanted to say.
There's another tape in there that's like at the blue case.
And the leader is blue on the tape.
I know.
And you know what?
This leader may be pink.
No, this leader is red on this one.
With the red?
Yeah, that's a red.
Yeah.
Man, really thought everything through.
Let me see this one.
If there's a pink leader in there, I'm going to lose my mind.
Don't do it, Dave.
Is it not?
Mike already listened to this one.
Joe's trying to rewind it by hand.
Yeah, while Joe does the manual rewind,
we'll play something off
the Rough Fields
tape on Bomb Shop.
That's going to take a deep breath in. I'm waiting on you I'm telling you what is missing
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you
I'm waiting on you Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and do it. Thank you. so
so Thank you. so All right. That was Rough Fields. Rough Fields. Bomb Shop. Bomb Shop. 2011. I know it's rough fields.
Rough fields.
Bomb shop.
Bomb shop.
2011.
That's a nice jam.
Did you just make that year up?
I don't know where that came from.
I thought that was on the back of the thing.
It's on the back.
2011, yeah.
Good eye, Joe.
Yeah.
They all just look like candy.
I just want to eat them all.
I know, right?
I'm intrigued by that label.
We're intrigued by this Spectrum...
We're still trying to figure out
for you guys
what's going on with this ZX Spectrum video game.
But then there was ZX Spectrum 2.
Yeah.
If you have one of these,
go ahead and send it to us
Send it to me
And then I'll run it through
We'll do all the tests
I'll run it through
The whole thing
The whole deal
It's a mystery
Does it have that weird UK plug?
No
Is that what a UK plug looks like?
Yeah, it's got like round prongs.
It's got like round prongs.
That's not going to do anything in this house.
All right.
I want to talk about some...
Oh, cut that one long nail.
Jesus Christ.
No, that's not the long nail.
It's the tip of the finger is cut off.
Thanks for bringing it up, Dave.
Okay.
Well, still, cut the nail.
Thanks for making him feel beautiful.
It's close to Valentine's Day and I already feel ugly.
All right. Some new releases.
Dave, is Prairie Fire
and Dub Ditch Picnic run by the same person?
Yes.
Well, both those labels just put out some tapes.
Cellar, Harrow, and Walden
on Prairie Fire.
That seems like a lot of work.
What, to do two labels?
Releasing stuff by the same label at the same time.
Or different labels at the same time.
It just seems like you have to update two different blogs.
You might have a Tumblr
and a WordPress.
I see what you're getting at.
And then a Powder Blue
and Blouse in parentheses USA.
I'm going to tell you right now the name.
That word is way too sexual.
Blouse or USA?
Blouse USA. I'm going to tell you right now
the name of the tape.
The name of the tape is
well if it was just shirt you would say
shirt USA and we'd just go on.
But blouse USA. That's the same. Underwear and panties
are the same thing.
The name of the blouse USA tape is
I almost can't get it out. Tammy's Beans. See? underwear and panties are the same. Yeah. The name of the Blast USA tape is,
I almost can't get it out,
Tammy's Beans.
See?
Like, that's disgusting.
The whole tape is just screams.
Fadeaway tapes,
just put out a pretty sick batch,
including thoughts on Air Fallen Axe,
Knit Prism, Trailing,
Double,
I don't know why he's laughing at that,
Double Cassette. Mr. Wimpy, the hamburger game
on the 48k
spectrum.
Mr. Wimpy? Is it like BurgerTime?
I don't know. The hamburger game.
The greatest game under the bun.
A double tape
that comes in one of those
heavy-duty vinyl boxes.
Look at the peanut behind him just, like, taunting him.
Maybe he has a peanut allergy.
A quiet evening, sun-drip split.
You can't eat me.
Court safari, sun-drips.
Look how mean that peanut is.
It's got salt in one hand and a fork in the other.
Someone make a shirt that says,
Sabs out.
Look how mean that peanut is.
There's like a goofy fart cloud behind him on this side.
I was trying to figure out if that was like an egg
or a fried egg.
I didn't know what it was.
Lighting up sounds just where there's a corpse candle,
C48.
Otherworldly mystics.
Just put out a Chris Roberts cassette.
New batch on Field Studies.
Daniel Weick.
Alan Gesso and Zerfault.
Auditory Field Theory.
Released a Keep Shield on Acid C38.
You guys almost said it.
New Chondritic Soundbatch.
That's not a hobbit. That's a dragon.
There's a dragon in the hobbit, Dave.
You ever read The Hobbit?
Well, I don't watch that stupid shit.
There's some
intriguing games on this system.
I have to say. Decathlon?
That's not that crazy.
Chondritic Soundbatch. there's a Jason Leskley tape.
Jason Leskley taped that when we were up in New York,
it got delivered to Jesse.
And I asked everyone in the house if I was allowed to open it,
and they all said no, but I really wanted to listen to it.
Oh, he wasn't there.
He wasn't there, and they wouldn't let me open his mail.
Wow, he got something in the mail from Chondritic Sound?
Apparently pretty quickly, too.
And this is his new batch.
Yeah.
Changing things up.
Do you remember we played that Bermuda Link tape
that came in that six tape box set?
Yeah.
And all that Bermuda Link stuff
was when Zephiadai
and Sky Limousine did a tour
and they collabed a bunch and they collabed a bunch
and they put out a bunch of limits
of 10 copies of this six-gazette box set
and eight copies of this double gazette
and stuff like that.
I guess Housecraft just called it all down
to a C-77, kind of like a best of thing.
They just put that out.
I think that I saw that today.
That Keeps You On Ac on acid tapes really good.
The one on
Auditory Field Theory, I believe is the name
of the label.
You know what? I might play that right now.
Do it. Where is it?
Like this.
It's got like a face on it.
Of course you'll like it.
I don't know where I put it. We'll find it.
Just say, here's this blah blah blah tape.
And then post.
And then we'll find this Keep Chill on Acid tape.
I don't know where it is. Just say, here it is.
And then we'll find it.
Son of a bitch.
Got it.
I like the cover art for this.
It's like, uh, right there.
On the center label.
Oh, there it is.
The center label.
On the shell label.
The one thing I don't like about this is, like, you see these two letters right here?
A and A.
A and A.
You notice anything weird about either one of them?
Nothing, right?
Nothing. Nothing, right?
No, Dave, they're not off-center. Nothing.
Well, that's just because you're crooked.
Well, when you turn it around, the B is backwards.
So the A is backwards, but you can't tell.
That's stupid. I like that.
Of course you do.
Who did this artwork? You're like the Keith Ford woman in Bloopy Bleepy Stuff 2.
Well, you warmed up to it.
I don't know who did it.
Design by Haunted Labs
slash Auditory Field Theory.
There's like somebody floating there.

Erotic theology.
Oh, okay.
I thought you were getting back into the, what is it called?
The spectrum?
The Sinclair ZX spectrum.
This video game system.
Dave's been digging himself deep into a hole.
They play cassettes.
And there's like this series of games called The Grade 8.
It's like...
There's a Grade 6 and a Grade 8,
but all of the covers
are amazing. They're in broken English.
They don't make any sense.
Some of the games look like stunned record releases.
Yeah.
What's that one say?
Which one?
That Grade 8 one.
This one? That one's not that good. sir? Which one? That great eight one. This one?
Yeah.
That one's not that good.
Hold on.
Let me find a good one.
That's all of the pace.
This one.
Mars Sport.
Fully playable arcade adventure.
The final part of the trilogy.
Saga of Barbarian.
Adventures full game.
Full playable.
92% crash.
Yeah, it's bizarre.
It's at the
bottom. It says the Pokeman. The Captain's
Poke.
Toolkit. A full box of tools for you techies.
Read the box.
Plus.
Pokemania. The Captain's
Pokes. What a lot he's got.
And Mr. Thompson's tips.
Amazing.
Oh, Mr. Thompson's tips on this one.
What are these?
I don't know.
What is this world?
We're going to spend a long time figuring this out.
Dave's so bizarre.
I don't know.
I'm going to have to post one of these on the Facebook.
Yeah, I think we should.
If anyone knows anything about this.
Yeah, I'd love some information.
It's like an enigma.
I feel like we just walked into an alternate universe.
Yeah.
This is a black hole that's just sucking us in.
There's someone out there listening who has an uncle
who used to work for this company
doing something
and has a bunch of weird shit in his attic.
He's like, oh, my uncle's got like 60 pokes.
My uncle Frank's got the Captain's Poke.
You got the 92% crash version?
The Captain's Poke.
All right, Dave, you want to play a tape?
Yes.
Actually, I think all you wanted to do right now is play this game.
I do, actually.
Yeah, what do these games look like?
Yeah, what is the...
Like graphics?
How do they fit like 15 games on some of those?
Well, I remember when I was a kid,
my friend Paul had a Nintendo game from Poland.
There was a Nintendo cartridge that had 100 games on it.
What?
Now, they were really like cheesy games, like Joust.
Yeah.
And like Spy...
What was the one where you were a car?
Not Spy, you were a car.
Spy Hunter.
Games like that. They were real
cheesy games. But it was a hundred
of them on a
NES cartridge.
That's crazy. So I don't think that
information I don't think is that much.
You could fit a whole bunch
on one thing. I just want to know when you're playing it, is the cassette running? Yeah, I don't think is that much. Yeah. You could fit a whole bunch on one thing. I just want to know when you're playing it,
like is the cassette like running?
Yeah, I don't understand.
Okay.
Well, let's play a tape.
Let's see if we can wrap our heads around.
All right.
Not that I really understand magnetic tape either.
Yeah, how does that shit work?
Code it with barium.
What do you got, Dave?
This Sean Conley tape.
Local boy.
Local boy.
The drummer from Ape,
who we played an episode or two back.
Works at the warehouse of Conley Flooring.
Yeah.
Mike tried to do that.
He couldn't handle it.
What's up if I couldn't handle it?
You actually went in to do it?
One time.
I worked there for two days.
You did?
Yeah. What happened? What happened?
Nothing happened. That's all they needed me for.
Couldn't do it, huh?
We installed the rugs down at Tattnall School.
Oh, that's a big job. It's a big school. Took all day.
I did a good job.
And then me and the old...
Armistod Action says,
a brilliant conversion of an arcade pace setter.
I want to say it real quick.
An arcade pace setter?
Pace setter.
Oh, arcade pace setter.
A brilliant conversion.
A brilliant conversion of an arcade pace setter.
I want to say real quick that one day
I did work at Connelly Flooring.
Me and the
middle-aged dude who I was working with
went to go get
lunch and we went to a Taco Bell
and just sat in the parking lot
and didn't say a word to each other the whole time.
We just sat there and ate our food.
While you ate your beans, no meat?
All beans, no meat? I didn't get a what. He just stared whole time we just sat there and ate our food and stared. While you ate your beans, no meat, all beans, no meat. He was like,
what? I didn't even get a what. He just
stared ahead and I just stared ahead.
If we only had a newspaper.
Or like leave the car running or something. Get the radio going.
Maybe play this Sean Connolly
tape, Delco Nightmare on
John Pyle put this out. What's the name of his label?
I can't read that. Beyond the Ruins.
Beyond the Ruins. So there's the ruins and then
right beyond them is the
jungle. You got
John Wilder. And that's where you find these. And what is on the cover here? Is that
Burning Man? I don't know if that's Burning Man
or the Wicker Man. Burning Man the Festival?
Yeah. There's like a tall
figure being burned. How often
did they do that?
Every year. It's been a long time since they've been
to a good burn.
Every year? Burning Man? You've never been to've been to a good burning. How do they burn an effigy?
Every year at Burning Man.
You've never been to Burning Man?
You don't know about Burning Man?
In addition to Burning Man, when do they... You've got to get to Burning Man.
Let's play a little bit of this Sean Connolly tape,
Drugs.
On something about ruins. something I'm going to go ahead and get back to the car. I'm going to go ahead the right side of the road. I'm going to go ahead and get back to the car. The I'm going to go to the right. I'm going to go to the right side to the road. I'm going to go ahead and get back to the car. Thank you. We played out. Sean Connolly.
Delco Nightmare.
Beyond the Ruins.
Or Ruin. I don't know.
Something.

On the Sinclair ZX Spectrum console.
Wish.
Part of the Grade 8 series.

Crash.
So let's play something now from...
Now? You want to do it?
Yeah.
Okay.
From a relatively new Delaware imprint.
Apartment 421 tapes
Who just put a batch out
I know he's put out
Some other stuff before
But
I think he rebooted
Rebooted
And now has like a
You know
A new aesthetic

Ryan P.
What's that? A watercolor on the front?
Yeah, I don't know.
And it comes with this little thing, like a little slip of paper.
Is there anything on that paper?
Yeah, some trees, which is the...
Oh, yeah, it goes with the cover.
Everything goes with the cover.
No text or anything?
No, just a little slip.
Is that vellum?
I want to see.
It's got a nice feel to it.
I thought vellum was somewhat translucent.
Is that not translucent?
I don't know.
It's not opaque.
All right.
He just goes by Nigro, just the last name.
Just Nigro.
Yeah, just Nigro.
All right, and it's on apartment 421? It just goes by Nigro, just the last name. Just Nigro. Yeah, just Nigro.
All right, and it's on apartment 421?
Apartment 421, number 103.
All right.
Which I doubt there's 103 releases.
I'm going to say that's probably like three from when he started over.
He probably started at like 100, 101, 102.
Okay.
To make it look like you've been around longer than you have
I think because
he's a weird dude
yeah he's got
a weird mustache
oh that mustache
is gross
yeah it's the sickest
mustache ever
I also like when
Alex
the guy who does
his label
wears
really big coats
with really
small shorts
his hair is always wet constantly soaked wears really big coats with really small shorts.
His hair is always wet.
Constantly soaked.
Okay, here's some from the Niagara tape.
I'm mesmerized right now.
Yeah, man, you'll be able to look at all this later. Now. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and get started. Nigro.

Yeah, I did.
Which one did you buy?
The Incredible Shrinking Fireman.
Okay, just checking.
That's a good one.
Thank God.
That's got like five pokes on it.
All right, I'm going to play this tape.
I've never been so inclined to collect something.
No, you haven't.
A project called White Reeves,
which is out of Pittsburgh. It's a
duo of Ryan Emmett
and Mika
Pacalillo.
Basilillo.
I know
Ryan's in Hunted Creatures.
What do you got going on over there
now? Crazy golf.
Crazy golf.
Contributions from Tiger Hatchery on there.
Oh yeah?
Oh yeah.
And just notice that now
in this little insert
that has like a picture of Dave Letterman on it,
which I like.
Dogs on Fire is the name of the cassette.
It comes in like a,
like a,
what are these called?
These are called like a,
it's like the,
it's an O-card. That's's like the... An O-card.
That's what it is.
An O-card?
Yeah, like a cardboard...
Like an old single.
Oh, okay.
That's David Letterman on the cover there.
Oh, he's got a weird face on there.
Whoa, that's dark.
And there's a dog on the back.
A little chihuahua?
What's the dog's name that smokes the cigar?
What's the dog's name that smokes the cigar?
It's a puppet.
Oh, Triumph?
Triumph. That's not Tri's name that smokes a cigar? It's a puppet. Oh, Triumph? Triumph.
That's not Triumph's cousin, is it? I'm not going to complain about
the label, the
spines being upside down.
Won't complain about that. Don't complain about that.
I like the white and red
on the outside and the black and white on the inside.
Like the
inserts black and white.
It's almost like black and
cream. Yeah, cream, yellowish cream.
I like how there's two tracks on here.
One's called Unreleased 1 and Unreleased 3.
And like, no, they're not.
No, they're not.
Here they are right here.
Release for the public.
Typo.
All right.
So let's play a little bit off the side B
of the White Reeds Dogs on Fire cassette
released by a label
called Quasi Pop.
Yo, BMX Ninja.
BMX Ninja
is one of the games.
Dave's too far gone.
Here is White Reeves.
Now what do you got?
I can smoke talk about that.
So this is a band called White Reeves,
and it is on Dynamo Sound Collective.
Is this the world premiere?
Yeah, actually, this is the first time it's ever been aired, ever, on anything.
Ladies and gentlemen, the world premiere of White Reeves,
a Cottonball Man side project on Mutiny Radio.
The opposite of Black Reeves, who is
a member of... Cottonball Man.
Yeah, Black Reeves is in Cottonball Man.

thing.
Well, then.

so Thank you. White Reeves
live on Mutiny Radio
world premiere
Joe being a little confused there
that blew my mind
Joe was really confused when that started playing
and he thought that was us talking
from like the future or something
well from the past but something? Well, from the past, but really fast.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
All right, Dave, what do you got?
It's my turn again?
Yeah, man.
Oh, wait.
Who played that tape?
I don't know.
Stop looking at Spectrum.
No, I'm not looking at those anymore.
I'm out of tapes to play
for the night.
What are you holding in your hand right now?
Well, you handed
this to me. This is this
Dad's Against Vietnam
tape on baked tapes. We could play
this. It's Josh Melrod from
Grasshopper. Solo?
Solo, right? Yeah. Solo stuff.
Horn stuff? No. What does he call it? It's like
something emo
He called it emo noise years ago, but I don't think this sounds
like that
I think
we have to play a Josh Miller hot tape
because we gave him kind of a hard time
over the weekend
Let's not talk about why
because then I'm just going to start talking about him again
It's going to spiral out of control.
We didn't mean anything.
I meant every word.
If you can't take a good ribbon, what can you take?
Yeah, really.
It only means you like him.
Yeah, hand me that tape.
If you didn't like him, you wouldn't talk to him.
Spine's upside on this tape, too.
Oh, my God.
Son of a bitch.
I said to Jesse, this is on big tapes.
And I said, what's with the upside-down spine on the Dad's Names of Vietnam tape?
He said, take it up with Josh.
But, you know, you're the last line of defense, Jesse.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You're the editor.
You're the captain's poke at the ship.
Well, when you're only running 80% crash.
What font do you think that he used for this cover?
California.
I don't even know. This is...
I think it's called
Lizard's Navigation.
No, this is like Constantine's Architect.
Yeah, it's an interesting one.
It's definitely not on
1003fonts.com.
No?
You got it from FontSquirrel.
He downloaded the nut.
That's against the
Courage cassette
in the new big tape batch.
Here's
a little something off a side A.
The squirrel's buried the back to the car. The I'm going to go ahead and get out of here. I'm going to go ahead and get back to the car. Thank you. so I'm going to go ahead and get out of here. so Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right.
Dads Against Vietnam.
Good jams.
Courage.
Do you think Jesse, or excuse me, Josh,
will hear us playing this?
Because they don't listen to the podcast.
They don't listen to the podcast.
Well, Jesse, I asked Jesse, and he just said,
I don't listen, like a boss.
He just said it.
And then Josh tried to act like he listened to it.
And I was like, no, you don't listen to it.
I was like, how many of you listen to it?
I don't know what he said.
He was like, 30 of them.
And I was like, at least Jesse just flat out said he does.
Oh, and Matt said that he only listens to the one he thinks he'll be
mentioned on.
Thanks, guys.
Thanks a lot for the support.
All right, Joe.
So curiosity got the best of us, right?
So we're just going to have to play this.
Got to play this Shinobi tape.
Got to play this Shinobi tape.
Who is it really?
That's not the name.
It's really called, you put the tape in there.
It's on there.
It's on there.
It's Cordially Yours Ambrosia.
Is it Ambrosia is the name of the
project? I don't know.
Or is it Cordially Yours Ambrosia?
There's no other real information.
And it's in a
recycled... This is the one that's in a
recycled ZX Spectrum.
Alright.

Well, let's give this a play.
So thanks to...
What's the name of this label?
Bomb Shop.
Thank you, Bomb Shop, for changing my life.
Changing Dave's life.
I already bought two games on eBay.

You bought the Incredibly Shrinking Fireman,
and I think BMX Ninja.
BMX Ninja.
No, it wasn't BM...
It was like... what was it?

Oh, do you want Snooker?
No, not Snooker.
It was like Squampers.
Yes.
Skronkers or something like that.
It's like a military battle game.

Of course, all yours.
That was a burner.
Yeah, it was a good one.
Not what the cover looks like.
No, not what I was expecting.
Well, apparently they, according to the
site, just used
all the weird covers they could
find secondhand.
I guess just doodled them up.
We just so happened
to get the one
that started Dave's new obsession.
Yeah, that like it went many
it went many miles
traveling. But the way things are nowadays, it hit viral already and is already done.
By the end of tonight...
They're all going to be gone?
No, no, you're done doing it.
No.
I already committed.
I bought two.
I can't just have two of those.
You're going to get them, whatever, put them on the shelf.
We'll never talk about it again.
I want to know, what did Bomb Shop do with the game?
What did they do with
Shinobi?
If they have that, send it to us as well.
I want to know what happens when you put that in.
We want to know a lot of things.
What happens.
Let's not go down that rabbit hole.
You want to play one more tape?
One more tape.
Alright.

Birds.
Birds on a musical scale on the front, right?
Yeah, on Centipede Farm.
Yeah, the artwork, I'm not a huge
fan of the artwork. Just a black cover
with this little
birds on the...
I like it. You like it, Dave?
It's pretentious.
It looks like an Anthony Braxton
LP or something.
And there's the
number 27 out of 30. I only made 30 of these.
Only 30.
And I did not know what I was getting into,
but a lot of bloopy squirms and squiggly digglies.
Oh, I like those.
Dave loves bloopy squirms.
Any soapy jibbles?
You like soapy jibbles?
I love soapy jibbles.
Definitely recommend gripping this tape if you can.
So yeah, episode 21.
It was a strange and wild ride.
Thanks, Sam.
Blackjack.
Blackjack.
Yeah, only one fact about the number 21 this time.
Dave was a little too, you know,
concentrated on something else tonight.
Yeah, sorry.
That's fine.
The internet's a black hole.
