It's so fucking good, right?
Yeah, I thought that was made now.
We were jamming it earlier yesterday.
Oh, it's so good.
The whole soundtrack's incredible.
I was just thinking about it the other day.
You can get a soundtrack to a video game?
Well, it was on YouTube.
I found it on YouTube. I was just thinking about it the other day, because I used to die.
That is like the...
That's the music that you listen to when you die, when you're putting in your high score.
So I would just die just listening to that jam.
I was thinking about it the other day,
wondering if I could find it online.
Target Renegade.
Target Renegade.
Battletoads.
I love Battletoads.
The whole soundtrack's incredible.
I'm going to check that out.
Send me that.
Tavs Out, Cassette Podcast, episode number 22.
Deuce, deuce.
The double deuce. 22mett smith's number
first two numbers in my you're getting lazy with these facts dave it's always like you know
once you start getting in the higher numbers the facts start to get worse that is yeah that is if
that is a fact about numbers actually lower numbers there's more things about them yeah
it's true because you burn yourself out in the beginning. The people who write the facts
about numbers are like, number one,
here we go. And then it's like
22. It's like, what time is it? Like 9 o'clock?
Emmett Smith's number.
Who cares?
22.
What's this thing?
That's got a camera. It takes photos.
I thought it was a weird little recorder or something at first.
Anyway.
I have an iPhone, so I don't know what this thing is.
Yeah, what is that thing?
What's this, a digital camera?
This thing's got obsolete really quick, doesn't it?
I like my digital camera.
Yeah.
Does it take a card?
An SD card?
It does.
It's very convenient.
Straight to the cloud.
It goes right into the laptop.
I'm in the cloud, man.
You're in the cloud?
No, I hate the cloud.
The cloud's stupid.
Does the cloud have anything to do with the company from Terminator?
Skynet?
Skynet.
Probably.
No, I think there is a real company named Skynet, though.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
After the movie or before?
Like now.
Well, yeah, it exists now, but did it also exist before the movie?
I don't know, but why would you...
I don't know.
Oh, I see what you're saying.
If they were already a company before, then it's not weird.
Yeah.
But if they did it because of the movie...
I don't know.
What do you think?
Scara Jelly?
Scara Jelly?
Oh, I forgot that.
For those who are wondering,
Dave has been keeping a secret from us for years.
I wasn't really keeping a secret.
I was actually surprised that I told you.
Up until he was about 13 years old,
his name was Dave Scared of Jelly.
Scaring Jelly.
Scaring Jelly.
Scaring Jelly.
Keeping a fucking secret from me and Joe.
That's insane.
Speaking of secret identities oh we uh tabs out have we exclusive and exclusive we cracked a case and what's that we hired we had
uh we've hired some private investigators we did some work and we got to the little bit of money
pay a pretty penny but you know people think they can remain secret.
They're leaving their cookies behind.
They're tampering with the cloud.
You know, you can figure it out.
And we got to the bottom.
We figured out who was doing the noise park site.
The blog?
Yeah.
What?
The Tumblr?
The Tumblr? Is it a Tumblr?
It's a Tumblr.
Dave, do you want to put a drum roll in here when we
do this oh we're doing this now yeah well we i can't hold the information we paid so much money
for it that we might as well just say it why don't we just wait until the end of the episode
oh oh shit yeah at the end of the episode we're going to reveal
who does noise park something leslie keffer couldn't do. We figured it out.
People, you know, people leave, they leave some, they think they're cleaning up their
tracks.
They're not cleaning up their tracks.
I think they're slick.
They think they're slick.
Yeah, you think you don't have an IP address?
It's Aaron Jelly on this case.
It's wide open.
Sprung into action.
Oh, man.
So who's starting tonight?
I'll start it off.
Of course.
Do you want to start it off, Joe?
No, no, no, please.
I want to start it off with a banger that we got.
A bing banger?
A bing bang bonger from a little label called Field Studies.
I like Field Studies.
Yeah, man.
I'm really...
They put out a lot of shit that you don't see on other...
You know, different names.
They don't put out the regulars.
Yeah.
A little off the beaten path.
They dig deep.
Well, I just saw on that stack they had a Zerfault.
Zerfault.
Joe, did you get that?
I got that.
You got it?
Okay.
And I haven't seen anything from them for like...
I want to say like four or five years.
Yeah.
So that's kind of tight.
They're the kind of label that they probably sat down and said,
I'm thinking about doing something on the beaten path.
And then they go,
you know what?
Scratch that.
I'm going to put out stuff off the beaten path.
This is a tape by an artist named Alan Gesso.
Not really too familiar with who that is,
but I jammed this the other day. And it's a burner.
What?
What?
What?
What?
Your standard field studies artwork.
You enjoy this?
I enjoy this thoroughly, yeah.
Okay, that's good.
Okay.
I like the, it's kind of like,
I don't want to say Robert Beatty or style artwork,
but similar.
If you hold that back,
it looks like a profile of a dude
holding his dong, but it's
censored. That's what I thought
it was. I'd hope it'd be censored.
Isn't that what it looks like?
It's like a piece of land.
There's the head.
There's his weird body.
And then he's doing something.
You guys are really digging to try to
I don't know, man.
I look at that and I just think it's like
some sort of body of land off of a map.
We'll put it up online.
You guys tell us.
Is it a guy holding his dinger?
Or is it one of the islands off the coast of Florida?
All right.
So, Alan Gesso tape on field studies titled,
uh,
I don't know what the title is.
We'll figure it out.
But,
uh,
here's something from that tape. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm sorry. Thank you. I'm Alan Gesso, Alan, guess OC39 on field studies.
That was a nice one.
Yeah, man.
That was a nice one.
Edition of 100, pro-dubbed.
You can grip that for $7.
Still available from the label.
$7 for the...
$7.
For Patriots from America.
If you're from somewhere else,
you better figure out your own shipping.
I put this pretzel on my Ralph.
I shouldn't have because now I got...
In your Ralph?
Dave, how many times do I need to tell you
stop putting stuff in your Ralph?
Is that what I said?
You said something.
All right.
Who's going?
Dave is.
Dave's Corner. Dave's Corner. All all right i'll go we're gonna start with
i think i'm gonna start with a good one oh he's going right for it huh you can't contain yourself
all right so this needs a backstory so for people that heard last episode and our crazy discovery
just just go along with this for a minute and you guys humor me
too for a minute so what if i told you that there was not one but two video game systems that came
out in the early 1980s that had games on audio cassettes what and to play the games, and to play the games, you had to load the cassettes into the games
by playing the entire length of the cassette.
Into the computer.
Into the computer.
And that, the games had like crazy titles like
The Incredible Shrinking Fireman
and like BMX Ninja.
BMX Ninja, that's what it is.
I do like BMX Ninja.
And Milk Race.
Milk Race.
What was the one that you said earlier that was like dumpster clowns or something?
No, no, no.
That wasn't.
We were just having a different conversation.
Or they had crazy names that sounded like modern noise projects,
like Doom Base or Pathfinder or Visions. had like crazy games names that sounded like modern like noise projects like doom base
or pass finder or visions and like and the thing is like not all the hold on i'm sorry
and that's the artwork like if you had if you like put one of these tapes like with their artwork in
like a row of like orange milk tapes and ask somebody to like pull out the one that doesn't
belong you wouldn't be able to do it because it looks exactly like that. And not only that,
but when you listen to the tape,
it's actually noise.
And pretty good noise.
Let me chime in here. Dave, I would say
you're not telling the truth. Prove me
wrong. Not one system, but two
of them. And a
lot of games. Yeah, tons and
tons of games. The thing that I find
most interesting about this
is that the games aren't all professionally imprinted.
The cassettes aren't all screened.
Some of them just have cassette labels on them,
which I think is kind of weird.
I think that might have something to do with the fact
that you could home-dub these, right?
You can home-dub them, yeah.
You can play an MP3 of the game into the system
and it'll work like it just doesn't like i don't understand is coded in the sound yeah but the
thing that i don't understand it's like if you're loading a game off of like a floppy disk yeah but
like with an mp3 there's like compression and like there's loss like how does that work yeah
i don't precise does it have to be?
That's one thing I don't understand.
When you're loading the information,
if the cassette's a little warbly,
then how are all the graphics supposed to be right every time?
Yeah, I don't understand.
Which game do you have for us today?
Well, before I get to that point,
the other thing I wanted to say is this system came out in 1982.
I was born in 1983, so I've literally had my whole life to find out about this.
And I haven't, like, I never heard about it.
Just now, yeah.
And, like, I had, like, old video game systems.
Like, I had an Atari 2600.
Like, I had, you know, Nintendo.
And, like, I heard of, like.
But this is before that because they're not.
I mean, they are home video game
systems but these were computers yeah yeah you know the atari is a console yeah but i would
think was the commodore 64 a it was a computer it was a computer because the commodore it took
my neighbor had a commodore 64 she played might and magic all the time but i don't remember it
being yeah i never knew you know what i saidettes. It doesn't matter if I remember it
because it was so long ago.
I don't think you should look at it
as your whole life you haven't
heard of these. I think you should
look at it as your whole life has been leading up
to this moment. That's true.
This is a crescendo for
your existence. If you add
the three of us up, we equal a 94
or so year old man. My birthday's next week. In those 94 years the three of us up we equal a 94 or so year old man my birthday
next week in those 94 years none of us have ever like stumbled across this and especially now like
you consider like you know the type of stuff that we listen to that we would have heard of it by now
it's so bizarre it is crazy that went under the radar for i'm glad it did because it wouldn't
have been as good if i and the only reason that we know about it is because someone sent us a tape reappropriated in the packaging
yeah of one of those listen to episode 21 if you want the full yeah so just in case you guys don't
believe me that those video game systems do exist i happen to have let's see uh what do you got
incredible shrinking fire incredible shrinking fireman for the zx spectrum I happen to have Let's see What do you got? Incredible Shrinking Fireman Incredible Shrinking Fireman
For the ZX Spectrum
$1.99 range
Whatever that means
Go ahead and read the description
For the game
The description is really good
Let me just see the tape
Just get with it
This J card for a second
I love classic J cards
Is that good?
Is that doing it for you?
It's got some spice to it, right?
This is musty.
That's like a grandparent's basement.
That brings me back.
They smell the same in the UK, apparently.
That's good.
You're going to read the synopsis of this game?
I could if you want.
I gave it a lot of tongue twisters.
Bring it on, Dave.
I think it's in backwards.
So, the aim of the game.
Take the part of Shuffling Sid,
the fearless fireman,
in this exciting graphic adventure.
It goes like this.
While speeding back the flames
of a blazing fire
in a vast shrinking plant,
Shuffling Sid tripped and fell
into the jaws of a powerful shrinking machine,
and not surprisingly, was shrunk.
Joe, this is a plant that shrinks things.
Like a factory that shrinks things.
Okay, yeah, that's what they do.
That's their job.
Union jobs, good benefits.
Good American shrinking jobs.
To unshrink shrunken, shuffling Sid's stretching.
To do this, you will have to find the five parts of the stretching rack and put them together.
After which shuffling Sid will return to his original size.
It's hard to say.
Not all the objects that you find will be useful.
Not all exits will be obvious.
Try jumping up through the ceiling of some rooms, and they will lead you
into different areas of the factory.
And some of your exits will not be open until
you have found the right object to let you pass
through. But most of all,
beware of the ghosts and ghouls that haunt the
factory. This is a haunted
shrinking factory. Yeah, it's a haunted
shrinking factory. So,
is the shrinking factory
open? And he doesn't work there. He is the Shrinking Factory open?
And he doesn't work there.
He is a fireman.
There was a fire at the Haunted Shrinking Factory.
Sid, apparently the only fireman at that particular fire company. No, no, no.
There's two because there's other ones.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
His buddy's like, oh, my God.
They didn't fall into the shrinking machine.
Not only am I shrinking, but I'm like a person in age.
Leave no man behind, guys.
You don't let Sid fall into that thing.
All right, well, let's get into this.
Yeah.
Let's listen to what this game sounds like.
I'm so excited.
Not the soundtrack.
Not the soundtrack, but what the information sounds like.
Yeah, let's listen to that.
All right.
The Incredible Shrinking Fireman cassette
on Mastertronic. The font
is tight. Everything about it is tight.
Here we go.
...
...
...
......... Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Damn. The incredible shrinking environment. That was a burner. Bam.
The incredible shrinking environment.
That was a burner.
I like my favorite thing that was said while we were listening to that.
One of us said, this is pretty good, actually.
And Joby said, what does that say about what we listened to?
I thought it was pretty good.
In this code.
It's so hilarious. It had parts. It had parts. The ending was amazing. Yeah, it had pretty good. It's so hilarious that it had parts.
The ending was amazing.
It had a good ending. It ended right.
It had resolve to it.
It was like a slam at the end of a rock song.
Does the Incredible Shrinking
Fireman have anything else out?
I don't know.
There's a two.
Split with Q-Bert.
You got more of those coming in the mail, right, Dave? I don't know. There's a two. Split with Qbert. Oh, man.
All right.
You got more of those coming in the mail, right, Dave?
Yeah.
I can't help it.
I don't think you can still get this from the label.
No, that was Metatronics Limited.
Yellow Noroco.
Pretty nice.
It's pretty good.
It's pretty good.
Pretty good.
All right, babe.
What do you got?
I got this giant claw tunnel mind on Digitalis.
I'm excited for this. I don't know why I have such a problem tunnel mind on Digitalis.
I don't know why I have such a problem with that.
Digitalis.
Because you can't say words.
I know.
None of us can.
This is Keith Rankin.
Is that Keith Rankin?
Isn't one of the dudes who does Orange Milk?
It's the guy who does Orange Milk.
Keith Rankin.
Artwork for Orange Milk, right?
I think he also does the label. I think he does the label.
It's on his SoundCloud is a link to orange milk okay right yeah but he he does like all of the artwork i
mean the artwork for this is is awesome oh should i like on the uh on the actual nice on the cassette
shell like it's like uh kind of pixelated but purposely purposely pixelated. Like blue imprint on white tape.
A half-tone type newspaper deal.
I want that on B.
We're going to play the track
Little Science.
Let me see the artwork for that.
Artwork's awesome.
I had a giant claw
Cat's Orchestra split,
but the giant claw side
was all,
it was dubbed bad.
Oh, that sucks.
It sputtered in,
and it sounded awesome, the parts
that were good. I listened to this tape three
times today to try to figure out what
track to play, because
they're all so good.
This is from 2011. You got this from
I just got it from Discriminate.
Discriminate.
Discriminate.
They're just letters that make words.
Yeah, but you can say them so many ways.
Alright, this is sick artwork English is tricky
Alright Giant Claw Tunnel Mind
Cassette Digitalis
Limited number 212
Here it is Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. what oh my goodness yeah insane right yeah that Yeah, that was a treat, Joe.
That did stuff to my skin.
Yeah.
I enjoyed that.
I don't even know.
What I don't understand was, and maybe, why isn't this guy huge?
I know.
You mean like why isn't he a big guy?
Yeah, like really big, like Dave.
No, I agree.
Does he have any like LPs out or anything?
You know what?
I think so.
I think the newest thing might be an LP.
I'm not entirely sure though.
I don't know.
I just discovered it.
I bought it randomly.
That's a guy that like, he's like a master musician, but he knows how to make it.
He like knows how to pull it back to make it like because the
melodies are like they're really complex but then he hits like a really weird note yeah that makes
it sound awful a little bit yeah i imagine he only wears sandals or not sandals flip-flops
he only wears flip-flops and then he like he's like with a wet ponytail like my green flip-flops
broke and he just goes and buys like a dollar store and like here's that guy who always buys
flip-flops he's in the process of unle a dollar store and hears, like, I always buy those flip-flops. He's in the process of unlearning
his instrument. Oh, Dave.
You really got me thinking.
Intense. I just checked
Discriminate still has copies. You didn't get the last one, Joe.
Good, good. Discriminate still has copies of that.
Like I said to you guys,
I listened to it three times today
to figure out what track I wanted to play
because they're all so good.
Yeah, I'm actually going to... I mean, they're all so good. Yeah, I'm actually going to...
I mean, they're all so good.
And he has a ton of shit out.
Or a decent amount of stuff.
Edition of 75 from 2011.
That tape should be gone.
That tape should be gone.
Yeah.
That tape should be gone
and everybody should be talking about it.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
That was pretty tight.
I have to say.
This should be who's being hyped.
Yeah. Keith Rankin, you were right. This should be who's being hyped.
Yeah.
Keith Rankin, you were right. Keith Rankin, you got it.
You got the goods.
You got the goods.
Congratulations.
You got the tabs out goods.
I want to know what it looks like live.
So this is Keith Rankin's project?
Yeah.
Yeah, not that tape.
No, no, I'm sorry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that tape is Keith.
And he does the artwork for Orange Milk.
Yeah.
That's jack of all trades.
He's got it all.
Yeah, he's got the whole thing figured out.
He's got the whole...
I really would like to see what he looks like.
Yeah.
He can do the art.
He can do the sounds, but he never learned how to love.
All right.
Let's slow things...
I'm going to slow things down a bit.
Yeah. I should have waited that tape till the end because now I got nothing that I'll compare
I think we're all kind of just like
let's get into this
raw thug tape
now there's a lot of
names
associated the label name the project name
that would make you and everything about it
let me just explain a little something.
So the project's called Raw Thug.
Raw Thug.
The album title is Black Walmart.
And the label is Loin Seepage.
Everything about this.
And if I told you it comes packaged in a sock,
you would think it's like a gross...
Not a sock.
A pair of socks.
But you would think it's like a gross-ass sock
with kitty litter in it
like the socks that joe b was trying to get into the hustle that i'm yeah like i sell on i mean
i want to sell on ebay socks perverts buy on ebay you think the toe would be missing
maybe a little bit like a band-aid inside like a little bit of blood yeah exactly but they're
like really nice they're a nice sturdy tube sock god i don't understand socks like that and they're they're silk screened like
it says raw thug black walmart like all the way around them like done really nicely and they come
like the socks the tape goes inside of the sock and i don't think it's a it's a pro dub tape but
it's a nice little like mustard yellow like a dijon yeah tape it says raw like stamped on there
or maybe imprinted on there i can't really tell and then like when you buy socks and they come like with the cardboard thing around them it's you know
here's a really nice graphically designed packaging for these socks yeah like designed
in a way that like you know you would go to like old navy and buy a pair of socks yeah
oh those are lava resistant socks so that's what it says what are you talking about
where does it say lava oh we Oh, right at the top.
The very top.
50-50 blend, rayon, asbestos.
That's awesome.
Made by hand in Fat Domino's personal pardo.
So, like, yeah, it's not what you would expect.
And the jams are, like, you know, minimal saxophone, kind of sparse of sparse, like an Olsen Project type deal.
Weird.
Weirdo.
But I took a picture of me wearing these socks.
It's pretty disgusting.
It's a tasteful nude.
I would like it.
I told you.
I would like to see a little more thigh.
Yeah, well, you know, leave something to the imagination.
It really wasn't that, you know, whatever.
I've seen better. I was taking a picture of a tattoo that I got once,
and I was sitting at my computer in my boxers,
and I took the picture, and I was putting it on Facebook,
and right before it finished,
I noticed that my nutsack was hanging out of my boxers.
You can see it in the corner of the picture.
I just barely got to it before I canceled it.
Oh, so good.
It's like a bag of walnuts hanging out of his pocket.
All right, so let's play a little bit for this,
something I think from the B-side.
Already in progress.
Raw Thug, Black Walmart.
Tape on loin seepage. I don't know. I'm sorry. Oh... Thank you. The End so

Raw Thug.
Those are good jams.
That just came out.
You can still pick that up.
Subway Saks.
Loin Seepage.
Seepage from the loin. So bad. Seepage from the loin.
So gross.
Jesus Christ.
Let's just lay off the scatological references for, that's enough.
Different strokes for different folks.
Everybody likes different things.
Takes all kinds.
Khaki Squirts.
That was a project name that we saw in New York City.
Oh, yeah.
There was like an, what was the name of that record store?
Academy, I think.
Academy Records in Brooklyn. Everywhere you look, there was another Khaki Squirts the name of that record store? Academy, I think. Academy Records in Brooklyn.
Everywhere you look,
there was another Khaki Squirts LP.
Yeah.
It was like, how many did you...
It's probably somebody who works there.
I don't know who it is, actually.
It could be somebody else.
But there was so many.
And there were everywhere.
Put them all together.
And burn them.
I don't know.
They might be good, Khaki Squirts.
I'm not going to listen to khaki squirts.
No, I'm not buying anything called khaki squirts.
All right, Dave, what do you got?
If it doesn't
sound delicious, I don't want to listen to it.
Okay, that's fair enough.
I wouldn't eat a giant
claw.
Oh, like a bear claw, like a donut.
Never mind, I'd strike that.
Well, you don't eat lobster, but I would eat a lobster claw.
Yeah.
You've never had lobster claw?
No.
No.
It's kind of overrated.
I mean, it used to be famine food, right?
Dave, what's on your birth certificate?
Is it Dave's scared of jelly?
What, did you change your birth certificate?
No, I didn't change my birth certificate.
So it's still...
I don't even know if I have a birth certificate.
Like Obama.
I don't like putting it in my mic.
No, sorry.
What's on your birth certificate?
Like unclaimed baby boy, number five?
Son of a bitch.
All right, Dave, what do you got?
I'm adopted.
We all know you're adopted.
Well, it's for the listeners.
If Joe's real parents are out there listening,
they would like to meet you.
But we want to do it on the air
oh I would love someone to catfish you
oh wouldn't that be great Joe
we found your real mom
and here she is and she like walks through the door
and she sits down and I leave
we both leave
and then I have to talk to her
you could talk to her about that giant claw tape
alright if someone wants to find my real mom
it's alright, man.
It's alright.
Alright, Dave.
Let's get back on...
Back on target.
Stay on target.
I've got this split between loophole
and somnifone
that...
I don't even know what label this is on.
I think the loophole dude does this label.
It's called, like, Welcome to the 21st, I think.
Oh, okay.
This is his label?
Yeah.
Okay.
I wanted to play the Somnifone...
Somnifon...
Somnifone side of this jam.
It's just like a regular Mac...
Like a...
Yeah.
Maxell tape?
It's like a...
Yeah.
Maxell tape with, like...
Like, he just wrote over it with, like, a red paint or something?
Yeah.
I don't really mind it. No, no. It looks tape. He just wrote over it with a red paint or something. Yeah, I don't really mind it.
No, no, it looks good.
The loophole dude sent another, I guess, release.
I'm not really sure.
It was a little fake flower with a piece of plastic attached to it
that had a digital download code on it.
And I guess that was the packaging for it.
That's the release?
That's the release, yeah.
Nice.
Loople has been sending us stuff since the beginning, I believe.
Yeah, he gave us an intro, gave us some tapes.
Do we know anything about this project?
What was it called?
Somnifone?
Yeah.
The only thing, I think this dude has a label that he...
Well, who doesn't?
This guy that does...
I have a label, Dave.
But I think it's pretty much all of his projects.
I think it's called AC much all of his projects.
And I think it's called like ACK.
A-C-K.
Hmm.
I don't remember that.
Like Kathy from the comics?
Mm-hmm.
ACK.
Chocolate.
I hope that's not just like
their abbreviation
for like the catalog number.
It really is like ACK.
Oh, yeah.
I guess that's something else.
But I think it's ACK.
I don't know.
I'm not getting good Wi-Fi's in here
and I can't really remember.
The door's closed.
That's because Joe shut the door.
I told you.
If you leave the fan on...
If you leave the door open, the Wi-Fi's come right in. You need the fan on? It's fucking... No, the fan messes up the Wi-Fi's in here and I can't really remember. That's because Joe shut the door. I told you. If you leave the door open
the Wi-Fi's come right in.
No, the fan messes up the Wi-Fi.
Somnifan.
Split with Leupold
on Welcome to the 21st. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The body is not a physical body, it is a physical body.
The body is not a physical body, it is a physical body.
The body is not a physical body, it is a physical body. so
so so
uh Thank you. I'm going to ask, does that fill up the entire tape? Yep. Somnifone. Smooth jammers. Yeah, it's a good one.
It's a long player, too.
We only got about a quarter of the way through.
Does that fill up the entire tape?
Yep.
Yep.
We played like seven minutes or so, right?
Yeah.
I want to say that's like a C60 at least.
I think it's longer.
Oh, no, C60.
You were right.
Wow, and that filled up the whole entire side?
All right.
Pretty good jam.
Yep. Not bad. You did a good job.
Good job, Dave.
I didn't do that one. I just played it.
My turn.
Joe's turn.
What do you got here?
Potpourri tape.
Potpourri tape.
Potpourri.
I don't know anything about this label.
I dig the
layout here.
Yeah, I like the layout a lot.
It's got a nice floral cover.
Some pictures of some flowers in the front.
Hold on, Dave.
Dave wants to touch it.
Let me see it.
Very clean.
Very clean layout.
Oh, it's kind of got a Field Studies feel to it.
Yeah, it does have a Field Studies vibe.
A lot going on here on this shell, that.
The shell I really like.
There's like these two dimples at the bottom.
What are those dimples?
Look at this little triangle on the top, like imprinted into the plastic.
Within a circle.
There's a lot going on there.
But it's off a little bit.
There's one on the B side as well.
Oh, made in the USA.
Yeah, like that on the shell made in the USA.
You know what's weird about this?
We talked about this before.
There's a lot of different shells.
So many different shells, Dave.
Did you see this imprinted?
Made in the USA.
Yeah, it's so weird.
Yeah, I've seen those.
Actually, I think I got some tapes on Fadeaway.
Oh, no, that was on Fadeaway.
That'd be weird because they're Canadian labels.
So the dimples and then there's these little triangle dimples.
Oh, what?
What does that mean?
You know what's weird about that?
It's like a pro-dub tape.
Some Illuminati shit.
The imprinting on there and stuff, but it still has the code on the top. The code on the top. You'd think they would get away with it. That's weird about that. It's like a pro-dub tape. With the imprinting on there and stuff.
But it still has the code on the top.
You'd think they would get away with it.
That's weird.
I was talking to Mike about this the other day.
I still think that if you make a cassette shell mold,
you have to change it a little bit
to make it your own.
And these little marks up here dictate
that's the company's mark.
But since companies aren't usually
selling cassette shells by themselves
to people, they don't have to
advertise their name or anything.
Maybe that's what it is.
So when they sell it to distributors of blank
cassettes, they don't have to advertise their name.
It's like a retail thing.
Right. Let me see that again.
I like how it's just a
white shell with black printing.
And it's just got the A and then the logo and then just the...
The band name and then the songs.
I really like that.
It looks like a real cassette.
Yeah, a real cassette that I bought back in the day.
A Milli Vanilli cassette.
That label, Durable Stimuli, does that really well.
I think they even put the stereo logo on there.
Nice.
It's a little Dolby thing.
Nice. That's a little Dolby thing. Nice.
That's awesome.
I like this all-white tape,
and there's a shitload of black screws going all over it.
Can I try to pull this apart?
What?
I bet I can't.
Too many screws.
You can't pull that apart.
You want to play the A side or the B side?
You know what? I can't remember right now.
You got it queued up to something.
I have it queued up to something,
but I can't remember what,
so let's figure that out.
It's right in the middle,
so I'm going to guess it's either Tan Caps
or Midriffs.
So which one
do you want to go with?
Tan, I think it's that one.
I think it's the A side. Okay.
Alright, here is
something from Potpourri
on, what was the name
of the label again? Dangerous Age.
And this is actually Dangerous Age 1.
Whoa. An R-roll tape.
Ooh.
Let's see if they started
it off right.
Alright. Better.
Appropriate. Excellent category on Jeopardy. Thank you. Thank you. On target.
Gop.
Poperie.
On dangerous, dangerous age.
Dangerous age. Number one.
That's a good little gem.
That's a good tape, yeah.
I mean, that's a short track.
They're all good.
Yeah.
I was into that.
Yeah, they're all good.
All right.
I don't think we should wait till the end.
I think I want to...
You want to get it out?
I want to get our findings out.
Yeah, let's just get down to it.
Because I don't think it needs to be built up at all either.
Alright, alright.
I thought we just said there wasn't going to be any build up.
And now we want a drum roll?
No, we want a drum roll.
No.
Okay.
And now, I think just because
the identity of the person
who does Noise Park is
just because
it's sort of worn thin,
and I think it's kind of ended.
It's overstayed its welcome.
It was me.
It was Mike.
It was Mike the whole time.
Thanks to everyone who's been texting me,
saying, I know it's you.
Matt Raidman from the beginning,
Witch Beam, telling me what people to do.
A lot of people knew it was you right away.
Thanks to Josh Milrod for opening his fucking mouth
and telling everyone.
He swore he'd keep it secret.
Yeah.
Who do you think Leslie Keffer thought it was?
I don't know.
She came out and said she was going to put it on her blog.
She was looking for hits.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She was trolling for hits.
The weirdest thing about it is I remember when I made the first one
and I put it on Twitter or whatever She was trolling for hits. The weirdest thing about it is I remember when I made the first one,
and I put it on, tweeted it or whatever,
and then I didn't think it was supposed to be a secret thing.
I tell people it was me, but then right away people started saying,
who is this?
I wonder who this is.
And I was like, oh, I'll ride this out.
I'll ride this out.
Don't tell anybody.
And then people, no one ever.
Did we ever tell John Pyle?
I told John Pyle. Oh, okay. All right. John Pyle knew. He probably told this out. Don't tell anybody. And then people, no one ever. Did we ever tell John Pyle? I told John Pyle.
Oh, okay.
All right.
John Pyle,
no.
He probably told people too.
Did Sal know?
Sal did not know.
He doesn't even know what it is.
No,
he doesn't know what it is.
But I figured like,
it's,
actually,
you know what?
It's not me anymore.
Oh,
yeah.
Because I passed it on.
Secret person.
I passed it on to someone else.
And for the past like,
a week or so,
they've been doing it.
And it's actually,
it's actually kind of fun. Do you critique the way they do it? Because I else, and for the past week or so, they've been doing it. And it's actually kind of fun.
Do you critique the way they do it?
Because I mean, I know personally, in the beginning, you just used the generator, the South Park generator.
But then as you went on, and you had to get people just right, that you got into photoshopping the hair for a couple hours.
I didn't know how to use, not a couple hours.
I didn't know how to use Photoshop. You told me there are people that you spent like an hour plus on well that's because i didn't know how to use photoshop i had to learn how to use photos
it was a very good tool very good teaching tool i think it was a keith fortune whitman's beard
that i really i really came into my own learning how to learning how to use photoshop like a thin
one kind of right long and thin it's long and thin. It's a nice though.
It's bushy.
I would say it's got some full natural.
It's got weight to it.
It's a wooded area.
It's a full natural.
But like, no one ever really just asked me, like sent me an email or anything and just
said, who is this?
Tons of people did.
No, no one ever just, people would chart a guess.
Remember when the Wire was?
Oh, Wire magazine was going to do a t-shirt.
Wanted you to do a t-shirt.
Yeah.
I think they backed out because they realized they didn't want to have a meme do their t-shirt.
Well, no, because didn't you make...
I made something and they said there might be legal issues.
But I think it was just a nice way of saying, I think we came to our senses and we're going
to let this...
You were a meme. Yeah, I think it was kind of like a meme, right? Yeah, I think so was just a nice way of saying I think we came to our senses and we're going to let this you were a meme
yeah I think it was kind of like a meme right
yeah I think so
I really am surprised it's almost been a year now
I can't believe it's been going on that long
what were some of your favorites
what were some of my favorites
I really like the animated ones
yeah the little gifs
I think Greg Davis was like
yeah you liked that one.
I liked that one because it looks exactly like him.
Well, wait.
Did you unveil the special one yet?
What's the special one?
Oh, us?
I'm going to put that one up tomorrow.
Nice.
That one I'm excited for.
I made it.
Look, Mom.
We made the big time.
I'm on the internet.
We made the big time.
I'm really surprised
people still send messages
you know what's funny
people send messages for asking to get
themselves done
which I think is funny on so many levels
one, just go to the fucking website
and make one
it's like a website that's been up for like 10 years
but who cares
that means you made it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When someone else does you.
People really celebrate when they get noise parked.
A lot of people do.
A lot of people are like, yeah, I made it.
Got noise parked.
I forget what the second thing is that's funny about it.
But yeah, I don't understand.
It's not like I'm drawing these.
It was just like a website that's been up since like 1998.
We're like probably not that long.
But onlypizza.com and rotten.com were up in 98.
But like, you know, 2000, it's been a long time. That was the first website.
Yeah, but just the dude, I forget his name.
I'll have to look it up.
The guy who like started Pitchfork sent me a message
asking me to make one for him.
And I was like, who the fuck?
Why would you get one?
Do you do noise?
Yeah.
Ryan something. I can't remember what his name is. would you get one? Do you do noise? Yeah. Ryan something.
I can't remember what his name is. He's a tastemaker. Ryan Schreber.
Yeah. Send
a message to Twitter asking to do one for him.
I was like, why are you going to get one?
Who are you? I don't know what you look like.
You should have said, send me
nudes. You can
still send nudes.
I enjoyed the Brian Eno one just because of the 8-track or the reel-to-reel.
Nice.
I enjoyed making the reel-to-reel.
The John Carpenter one was pretty good, too.
John Carpenter one, I was pretty excited about that one.
A lot of them, I do admit, a lot of them I did spend too much time on.
Yeah, I think there was a lot that you spent.
But some of them you just poop out.
Oh, yeah.
Some of them you poop out, but some of them you spent a lot of time on.
Well, you know, you get some time.
I got some free time.
You get into some things.
Oh, yeah.
It was good.
It was fun, and I got to say, I'm really surprised that last longer than a month.
You got into the mystery.
Yeah, yeah, I did.
It was fun.
You got into the mystery.
Oh, yeah.
I like there was, right away, there some blog uh who uh got in touch and
asked if they could do an interview and i told him to email me i forget what the email was it
was something like tupac is alive at yahoo.com i told him to email the questions there i should
have got that email address and uh you should have got that email address yeah oh well yeah
someone else is doing it now i think that'll remain i don't know
if they want to be i'm not you'll believe that anonymous that it stays that way and then after a
while maybe they'll say who it was oh you want to pass it on to you want a good story besides like
matt raidman right away saying he knew it was me and uh you know texting me like do this person
blah blah blah and i was like it's on me and. And I said, how do I know it isn't you?
And he said, one of them went up when I was at a movie and I have witnesses.
And then I got a message, a text from Kevin Winter, 2673, saying, have you heard of Noise Park yet?
It seems like something you'd be into.
And I was like, I looked at it.
I thought it was kind of stupid.
But the best one was when afterlife and bedroom
were in town and we were driving to some record store and Franklin Teagle's in
the backseat and it was like it was so funny I was like from like a movie and
he said Mike are you noise Park and I just said what he was like that uh you
know that blog that does the South Park noise people is is that you and he was like that uh you know that blog that does the south park noise people is is that
you and i was like and i was like what is that i was like so many people say that i don't know why
people are saying that and i think he may have i think he may have caught on right then though
it'd be interesting to know if he if he knew well i mean he lives up do you think uh josh told him
or was that before you told Josh?
No, you told Josh a while ago.
I told Josh a while ago.
Okay.
Only because he knew.
The reason why I told Josh is because Josh, Jesse, and Matt called up one night
and said, we know it's you because of this.
And I was like, what are you talking about?
I don't even know who that fellow is.
Just playing it off.
And they're like, all right, maybe it's not you.
And then I thought it'd be funny to call them back
and tell just one of them.
But then
thought they'd keep it a secret.
Instead of just like, bleh, bleh, everyone.
I'm gonna tell you now.
So, whatever.
Good run.
It was a good run.
Passing the torch.
Off to a new mystery. Someone else it was a good run. Passing the torch. Passing the torch. Off to a new mystery.
Yeah, someone else can use a South Park generator website
to make characters of people that no one really knows
and put them up on a Tumblr.
All right, I'm going to play a tape.
You get to go after all that too?
Do I get skipped?
Does it just go to someone else?
No, I'm going to play this Dead Moths tape.
Asylum Dreams.
On labels.
I think it's Crippled Sounds is the name of the label.
Is this something that someone sent in?
Yeah, this label sent in a few tapes.
Lots of white this podcast.
Lots of white tapes.
Yeah, this is fucking...
As soon as the package came, I shook it and you could hear it. You could hear the plastic in there. Lots of white this podcast. Lots of white tapes. Yeah, this is... This fucking Noroco...
As soon as the package came, I shook it, and you could hear it.
You could hear the plastic in there.
Whenever I get one like that, I don't even want to listen to it.
Yeah, this is pretty like...
It's like when you make a pancake and it falls apart.
You don't even want to eat it.
The first one?
Yeah.
I made pancakes this morning.
The first one's always bad.
This came out like the end of last year.
It's like a louder, harsher power electronics type stuff.
Yeah, all black and white artwork.
A picture of like down the stairs.
Is this John Pyle?
Yeah.
Asylum Dreams is the name of the tape.
Play something off of the A side.
Yeah, the tape's got like this weird label on it.
Oh, I like that.
That says, like, low noise, high output cassette.
C32, I guess it's like a...
Oh, weird.
And then they just put the stamp.
They just stamped the stuff on it.
Yeah.
All right, let's play something off this tape.
Dead moths on crippled sounds.
Just throw that anywhere. I'm going to have to go back to the What the hell? I'm not sure if I to do this. I am free
I am free I am free
So I can't do nothing He's got the rules
So I can't use them
For food and for gold so
so I'm not sure if you can see it, but I'm not sure if you can see it. Oh, my God! I'm not sure if this is the best way to end the game, but I'm sure it what I'm sorry. I'm going to go I can do it. I'm not going to I can do this. I'm sorry. Thank you. Some stuff off of the Dead Moths Asylum Dreams cassette.
C-32.
Some harshies.
Crippled sounds.
I believe they still have copies available.
You can pick those up on the internet.
Dave's Corner.
What do you got, Dave?
Me turn.
Joe, what are you doing over there?
He's checking out the color on the Miller Highlights. There's like text on the inside of this Miller Highlights. Oh, that's Corner. What do you got, Dave? Me turn. Joe, what are you doing over there? He's checking out the color on the Miller Highlights.
There's like text on the inside of this Miller Highlights.
Oh, that's weird. Like on the inside of the label.
So I'm trying to... This one doesn't. Did you win something?
I think you might have won something.
No, it's these new ones.
Oh, okay.
I thought we were going to...
The Miller...
I thought we won
an exclusive weekend trip
to Pasadena
Mr. Miller's trying to find
the new
person to run the brewery
Old Slugworth is going to try to fuck that up for you
Alright Dave, what do you got?
I'm going to play this tape
Joe B. Spilling stuff
Take your shirt off clean it up
I did that last time I didn't get my shirt back for weeks
Well I cleaned it for you
I used fabric softener too
I know because you mentioned how you like that
Yeah I do like that I don't get that at home
Little fabric softener
I get borax and
That's what we do
Borax and mint soap's what we do.
Borax and mint soap.
Borax, hemp, and rose petals.
Borax and seeding.
Good old-fashioned dirt. You put it in a big circle,
and then you get a didgeridoo.
We put it in our blender,
so now it's like a big crock pot of foam.
Yeah, we do that.
It's in the food processor.
Yeah.
All right, so let's do this Orchard Thief tape.
Who would steal an orchard?
Yeah, really.
Come on.
Well, does that just mean someone who steals from an orchard?
No, they steal the entire thing.
Because I used to do that.
We used to drive to Millburn all the time.
Oh, yeah.
Get on the side of the road, go get some apples and then go back in the car.
The look on your face
when you said get some apples
was just like...
They must have been
some good-ass apples.
They were.
I would have all...
The back of my car
would be filled with apples.
Nice.
For weeks.
For weeks.
No, no.
They would inevitably go bad.
Let me see this.
Who put out this tape?
Put your hand down.
I just want to touch it
so bad.
This is off of Golden Cloud, which is, I think, a pretty new label.
Did they put out the grapefruit tape?
I don't know if they did or not.
Let me see it.
I think they did.
Yes, they put out the grapefruit tape.
Okay.
So is that all the way rewound?
Yeah. This is is another white shell tonight
yeah I know
this is some dude Sam
he's got other stuff out
but this is the first I've ever heard of it
it's a nice little package
I like the little insert
it's weird how the insert
does not go with the cover art at all
yeah I was going to say with the cover art at all.
Yeah, I was going to say that.
The cover art is like tan and black and white.
And there's like a grid with, what is that underneath there?
Outer space?
Something's going on.
And the insert.
It almost looks like the earth from above.
And what is this?
Oh, is that like a coral reef or something going on the insert?
Maybe.
Oh, maybe it's like a space and water theme.
Oh, like a space and water park.
Why don't they make space parks?
Like Space Can? Well, I'm sure Google's working on that.
Just a park with nothing in it.
I thought we were done with space travel.
Just a park with nothing.
Google's working on a space elevator.
Google's working on a space elevator? Google's working on a space elevator?
Yeah.
Where was it going?
To space.
And then you just go up and then back down?
I have no idea.
Look it up.
You just go up and then back down.
Look it up.
Yeah, you keep going up,
like at the end of Santa Claus the movie.
Some people say Google's the new Skynet.
Who was the dad in Harry and the Hendersons?
John Lithgow.
When John Lithgow ate all the candy canes that make you float.
And he floated out into space.
I don't know what movie you're talking about.
You've never seen Santa Claus the movie?
No.
Who played Arthur?
Dudley Moore?
I've seen The Santa Claus with Tim Allen.
Yeah.
No, no, no, no.
This is from like the 1980s, like 88.
Dudley Moore.
Dudley Moore is an elf that goes to, like, New York City.
And he makes some sort of, like, candy cane.
Winning a cup between the moon and New York City.
That's Arthur.
Well, that's not in the Santa Claus.
Yeah.
Why are we talking about that?
Oh, Google Elevator.
I don't know anything about the Google Elevator.
We'll look it up over the break.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Orchard Thief.
First Dimension Park cassette on Golden Cloud.
Two Cuts.
Number six.
Two Cuts.
Two Shrimps with Bacon.
Two, two, two Shrimps with Bacon.
I got to open this back up now?
Yeah.
First Two Cuts on the A-side.
Water Cross and Moving Beyond Land in parentheses.
Mm.
Mm.
Mm.
So that is kind of like
a water space theme.
Yeah, it's a whole like
geography.
God damn, Dave, you
nailed it.
Those night classes at
art school are paying
off.
Second rate art school
are really paying off.
Orchard thief.
Joe went to the same
school. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. so
so Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Apple Bandit.
Apple Bandit.
I always thought I had seen that movie,
The Apple Dumpling King.
And then... I know you loved and then it was one of your favorites
and then I got the VHS from my parents house
and I went to watch it and it was the Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again
part 2
I've never seen the Apple Dumpling Gang
Don Knotts was in it right?
never heard of it
the sequel is pretty good
Orchard Thief on Golden Cloud.
Or was it Golden Cup?
Golden Cloud.
Golden Cloud.
There's a project called Golden Cup.
All right, Joby.
You want to finish up eating those three-year-old pretzels?
I just realized these pretzels I bought at the gas station
expired in 2011.
And we've been munching on them a lot.
What time zone?
Oh.
Because they might be
because in China
right now it's still 2011.
I don't know.
Pull up a map. Pull up Google Maps.
I don't get Google Maps.
What do you got?
I got this Bang Bros tape.
Don't Google search that, by the way.
I thought I nailed it when I did Bang Bros Discogs.
No.
I'm still getting...
Pornos.
Unless these are the dudes with these white shirts.
Those are porno dudes.
Also known as Dub at Bang Bros.
That's all porno.
Olaf Krugel and Frank...
That's a porno name.
Okay.
Not tasteful in any way, by the way.
What?
Oh, it's not tasteful porno?
No, no.
It's not like a...
What's going on with this cover art?
It's not like...
I don't know what a tasteful porno is.
Emmanuel in space?
You know, tasteful.
Not tasteful, but like...
I want to move on.
What, into a tasteful porno discussion?
I want to talk about this cover art.
Is this just the back of a minivan with like 90s...
Stickers on it?
Alternative bands on it?
Yeah, that's pretty...
Tori Amos.
Is that the Bang Bus?
Smashing Pumpkins.
Is that the Bang Bus?
Because Bang Bus is one of the porno things.
Dave Matthews band.
This is like some of the...
This is like MT5 artwork.
Like so bad it's good artwork.
Yes, yes, definitely.
And the text on the inside, don't even try to read it.
What font's that?
I don't know. It'll hurt your eyes, though.
Oh, that is Hermes.
That's like Pacific Sunware's font.
And it's so small.
And it's yellow and then the purple backdrop or whatever.
Drop shadow. Oh, jeez. It's really bad. like, small and, like. It's yellow and then the purple backdrop or whatever, drop shadow.
Oh, jeez.
It's really bad.
Don't try to read that.
That's incredible.
I'm pretty sure I heard about these dudes did, like, they try to play, like, the most,
like, shows in a single day in different cities to get into, like, the Guinness Book
of World Records or something, which would be pretty funny because then, like, there'd
be two noise people, or I guess these are, this is two dudes, I guess, but there'd be two noise people,
or I guess these are two dudes, I guess.
But there'd be, you know,
because Aaron Hibbs is in the Guinness Book, right,
for hula hooping?
Did he win?
I think he tried the first time and didn't do it.
I don't think he needed to be that harsh.
But I think he then did it again.
Did it again, all right.
And I think he got in.
I'll have to check. I'll check my copy at home. These dudes are also in, what, the copy of the Guinness Book of it again. Yeah. And I think he got in. I'll have to check.
I'll check my copy at home.
And these dudes are also in, what, the copy of the Guinness Book of World Records?
Yeah.
You got a subscription? I subscribe, yeah, every year.
Every year you get like the, it's like how you used to get encyclopedias every year.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely.
I got those.
Not Wikipedia.
That's just free.
Dave Davis is getting heavy into this artwork.
This is incredible.
He's really getting into it.
It's like done on like paintbrush, too, I think. He's really getting into it. It's like done on like paintbrush.
He keeps touching it.
Yeah.
This is like a thick stock too.
This is like no joke.
This is serious.
We'll label this out.
Udelmeyer.
Udelmeyer.
I don't know if that's how you say it.
Yeah, that's how I say it.
Udelmeyer.
What else have they done?
You know, nothing I've heard of.
It's a couple weird stuff like weird sample stuff like this and then weird improv with a lowercase i stuff.
From Somerville, Massachusetts.
Oh, hold on.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Gridcomplex.org.
Grid Complex is the dude who does Belarus's label.
Is Yedlmeyer also his label?
I don't know.
What else did they put out? I don't know. What else did they put out?
I don't know.
That's weird.
Let me get a grid with a what.
I was going to play something on grid clock.
I could look at this forever.
The Bang Bros cover?
That's so crazy.
Yeah.
They put out that tape that has the image from the Locus Genepiccolo
split five inch on it.
Yeah, it does.
I was going to order that tape.
Little Emperor.
I was going to order that tape as well,
but I just ordered this one.
All right.
But anyway, let's get into it.
We'll just play a little bit of it.
And then what?
Then we'll play some more stuff.
This is like the Earthworm Jim menu screen
on the inside of this.
Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on with that artwork.
Bang Bros.
Bang Bros.
What's the tape called?
I don't know what the tape's called.
I can't read it.
Hard Rocks Volume 3.
I don't think I want to say the rest.
Bang Bros.
Pissywuss?
Pissywuss.
C31.
Oh, it does say Pissy Wuss on the cover
if you look at the cover.
Oh, this cover's like a MySpace page.
I'm really surprised this cover
isn't an animated GIF right now.
Like you're holding an animated GIF.
All right, Bang Bros. Thank you. so Get up! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. bang bros
bang bros
bang bros on needlemeyer it looks like that is the dude who uh the beller Bang Bros. Bang Bros.
Bang Bros.
On Needlemire.
It looks like that is the dude who, the Belarus dude. A sub-label, huh?
Well, I don't know if he just, because his grid complex, grid with a Y, is his URL.
I think only has like two releases out.
Okay.
One of which I have right here.
Maybe I'll play it now.
Oh, is this this?
Yeah.
This is on grid Complex? Yeah.
Oh, that's on Segway.
Well, I took
Professor Yotkin's Segway course over the
summer. Oh, good, dude. It worked out good.
Yeah, it worked out. It's paying off.
It's paying off, man.
Those 250 kroners.
What? A kroner? That says like
a Swedish dollar. Is that how much that course cost? Yeah, 250 kroners. It's 47 USroner? That's like a Swedish dollar. Is that how much that course cost?
Yeah, 250 kroners.
It's 47 US dollars.
I paid them.
What is the currency you use on the dark web?
Oh, bitcoins?
Yeah, I paid in bitcoins.
Oh, you paid in bitcoins.
Don't they have loonies in Canada?
Yeah, loonies and toonies.
Loonies and toonies.
And gold doubloonies.
And autographed pictures of Andy Rooney.
That's currency.
That's how crazy Canada is.
There was a sign when I was in Canada at the KFC that had, it said Toonie Tuesdays.
And you got like, on Tuesdays, you pay, you give them a toonie and you get whatever.
You get some loonie.
You get someuni and you get whatever. You get some loony. You get some baloony.
I always think, though, in Canada with all those coins,
it must be awesome to look in your couch.
Yeah.
You find like five bucks.
Oh, yeah.
Anyway.
Anyway.
This tape on Grid Complex.
Really like the packaging of this tape.
Yeah, it's a really awesome packaging.
It's emitting light.
Let's get the whole thing.
Turn the lights off because I feel like. In canada have french fries what yeah well what crazy right
they figured it i guess they cracked the code i like it when i make mike laugh hard
yeah that's pretty good keep doing it i like when you make me laugh hard joe
that's why i keep you around all All right. This tape by a project called...
Oh, yeah.
Get into the backstory about this tape.
I think it's Oxytel 95.
Yeah.
From what I hear, I think...
I mean, it says it was recorded in 1995 and then reassembled in 2011 and 2012.
And it says, thanks, Microsoft.
And I think it's the guy i well you made some
contact right didn't you yeah um lee edward tindall which is the guy who does bellarisk
which uh another good god this course is paying off which was our tape of the month the bellarisk
tape on nna for uh the tape of the month in february if you want to read a little bit about it it's up on the site now um i think he said it was like his uncle from wales who recorded this
in 95 on like an old pc computer an old pc computer with like windows 95 and like it's
really fucking good and the layout for this it's like how many panels? One, two, three, four and a quarter.
Four and a quarter panels. And this last one,
it's like green paper printing on both sides.
What would you call that, Joe?
I don't know. Architectural, but
it's not architectural at all.
Mondrian-esque line
drawings. It's like Bauhaus type stuff.
Bauhaus, yeah. And then
at the end... But then it flips it with this stuff
in the middle, which is more organic line things
then to a block print
and that's all in black
and then there's a white block print
on neon green paper
with the clear neon green
Norelco
and then it's a solid gray tape
wish the tape was neon green
yeah you were saying that
I like the gray
with this wrap around sticker a solid gray tape. Wish the tape was neon green. Yeah, you were saying that. I like the gray because I like the gray with the green.
I mean, it looks good.
With this like wraparound sticker.
It's like a Strathmore label going on here.
It's a really nice,
it's a really nice label stock.
I didn't work in the printing industry,
so I don't know what that means.
It just, it wraps around the top.
So on one side it's A
and on one side it says B.
And then on the top of the cassette shell
where you would normally find the tape length.
The inner spine.
In there, it says Oxytel 95.
So yeah, this is on Grid Complex.
I think only 25.
I think it only made 25.
That's crazy.
I didn't do that sticker.
It looks like a tablecloth on a table that's too big.
You don't like the sticker on the tape?
Yeah, I don't like the sticker.
I mean, we talked about that.
I would like the sticker more.
It's like a...
It's square on one side.
It's square on one side and then round
on the other to me it seems like it was i would like it if it was like both like either one they're
both around it i don't like the rounded because it goes onto the window a little bit yeah it does
just just just enough if it wasn't a white one i might get that right off if it wasn't white i
might like it a little bit more and to me it seems like it's something that's the byproduct of something else.
Yeah.
I see what you're saying.
Like a Band-Aid.
Except.
Except that's like, oh, we have these leftover weird half-moon rectangle stickers.
Use those.
Let's print on those and use those.
But I don't want to talk shit because everything else looks really great.
And it sounds pretty great.
And it's all done on, like, an old PC.
Because when I was first listening to this,
I thought there was, like, a little bit of, like, modular stuff going on.
But apparently not.
Apparently it's all computer stuff.
Nice.
From, I mean, Jesus Christ.
Windows 95.
You think he even had Windows 95 yet?
He might have had...
What was it before Windows 95?
3.11?
Oh, 3.11.
And before that was 3.1, right?
Yep.
So Windows 95 was the first one.
Did it go Windows 95 to Windows 2000?
No, there was 98.
98, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was 98.
God, they waited so long.
I remember my dad had a 386 processor or whatever,
and then a 486.
That one's 100 more.
And then he got a Pentium.
And I was like, so it's a 586.
He's like, no, it's a Pentium.
I'm like, well, doesn't Pentium mean five?
It's a Pentium.
I understand, but isn't that just a fancier word for a 586?
It's a Pentium, Joe.
I know it's a Pentium. This one's a Pentium. This one's a Pentium, Joe. I know it's a Pentium.
This one's a Pentium.
This one's a Pentium, but that means five.
You got your A, you got your B,
you got your C, and you got your D.
That's the biggest.
And then you got your Pentium.
And then there's the Pentium.
All right, well, let's play something off of this
Oxytal 95 cassette on grid with a Y complex. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 THE END Thank you. There it is.
Hmm.
Oxytocin 95 on grid complex.
It's an interesting tape.
It definitely is.
Yeah.
I'd like to check out that whole tape.
Yeah.
I'm not sure.
Like I said, he only made 25 of them.
And I'm not sure if it's still available.
Remember Windows 3.1 where you could customize your background, but it only showed it when
you started up?
No.
I don't remember that.
My dad had one. It was like, Dallas Cowboys. when you started up? No, I don't remember that. My dad had one.
It was like Dallas Cowboys in a startup.
It was just like flower pattern.
And then what's...
Oh, it was like a set...
It was like a startup screen.
But you couldn't change the background?
I don't really remember.
You couldn't make the desktop like a picture.
They couldn't figure that out, huh?
Nope.
Too much.
File manager. Remember file manager? Nope. Too much. File manager.
Remember file manager?
Yeah.
Things you take for granted now.
AOL hell.
You got AOL hell on your system.
Mail bombs.
Remember mail bombs?
It was like some stupid program that you get for when you go on America Online and you
mail bomb people or you go into a chat room and you scroll up an image of Bart Simpson
masturbating or something.
Oh, all right.
And made it out of text.
Made it out of text.
That was awesome.
Or you have a password generator
so you can get online for free for like an hour.
A-O-L hell.
All right.
The good old days.
The good old days.
Things were simpler back then.
That was my...
That's when I peaked.
95. That was my...
That was prime time. That's when it's all done.
The Pee Wee, that was just...
PizzaHut.com days. I used to spring into
action in those days.
And now...
Now look at me.
Kicked out of the park. It sucks when you get older.
Like, how about... I don't get kicked out
of the park anymore because I have a kid. I that's why oh no you used to go there by yourself
i forgot well yeah like you go hang out the park and then like the teachers come and they're like
where that recess monsters do yo i tried going no there's me and then there's the weird homeless
dude who brings a bongo and you know swing well no i wouldn't get off the swings when the kids
came i go on a bench and stare at them i wouldn't get off the swings when the kids came. I'd go on a bench. And stare at them.
I wouldn't stare at them.
Speaking of being in your prime, though,
you know when you were a little kid and you were on a swing set
and you would get up as high as you could and then jump off the swings?
Yeah.
I tried doing that a couple years ago.
Frowsing, they call that.
Frowsing?
Frowsing.
Yeah, that sounds right.
That has a name?
I tried doing that a couple years ago.
That hurt my ankles
so bad you don't want to do that dave you're gonna you got a good chiropractor i got a guy
you can't do that my back hurts right now what's the cutoff point like what's the year that you
can't do that anymore 24 24 no i think there's people who are like who stay if you take care of
yourself and you get on a good regiment and you drink your raw eggs in the morning like Rocky and you run in the snow and then you get on.
Uphill.
And then you chase the guys on the bike and you're like the Mike Tyson.
You're Glass Joe and you're running behind them.
If you do that, you can do it for a while.
If you are anyone else, yeah, 23, 24.
Stop doing that.
It's terrible.
Oh, it sends shocks all the way up my hips.
I have that baby gate in the back of my house,
and every day when I go to get to the bathroom,
I tell myself,
I'm going to jump over that baby gate,
and I do the half-step run thing to it,
and I'm like, not this time.
Not this time.
Not yet.
Not yet.
I'm going to scale it one day.
I'm just going to go right over it.
It's going to be like the,

But look at the legacy.
The legacy of MT5.
The best, worst label.
Not worst as far as
the music, but worse as far as artwork.
Artwork. So bad.
I like this artwork.
I dig this. These four faces.
It looks like you know.
When you mix the four decomposing faces
with the title
do you see the connotations?
No I'm not talking about
the words that are used.
I'm talking about the black and white faces with the red that are used i'm talking about like just black and
white with the races with the red text looks nice this looks really good no i think it's artwork by

It's a long one.
How long is the tape?
What's the length?
It's probably around a C60 or so.
How big is it?
It's the size of a regular cassette.
How many tapes are on it?
One.
I'll take one tape, please.
Go to the noise store and say,
I'll take one tape, please.
I'll take one tape, please. to the noise store and say i'll take one tape please i'm a noise fanatic now for mr noise
all right joe b all right i'm gonna play a cut off this tape that we got in the mail from
william clay martin who happens to be from from delawaremington, Delaware. And who is this guy? No one knows.
He's ordered tapes from me before.
Bill, huh?
But like, yeah, I never met him.
Bill Martin.
You figure we would have met this guy by now.
I don't know who Bill Martin is.
Pretty good tape.
We have his address because it was on the envelope if you want to go to his house right now.
We could probably walk there, right?
I mean, it might take like a half hour.
He's on like 27th Street.
Okay, so it might take like 45 minutes or so.
No, it wouldn't take that long.
And we're not going to walk there at night. No, no, no. I'm not walking anywhere. Mike's not like 27th Street. Okay, so it might take like 45 minutes or so. No, it wouldn't take that long. And we're not going to walk there at night.
No, no, no.
I'm not walking anywhere.
Mike's not.
Not right now.
Anywhere.
I do a lot of walking.
We could walk there.
I don't feel like walking right now.
Let's just go there.
Let's just drive there.
Most of my transportation is done by walking.
Yeah.
I enjoy it.
It's almost tall.
I don't understand how he does it.
I was saying how...
Yeah, who's this guy that then put out a tape?
Himself.
And it's pretty...
It's packaged really well.
It looks really nice.
Yeah.
He has some dude from around here.
I don't know who he is.
It's awesome.
I mean, maybe he can play a Final Friday.
I was told that...
That's not happening anymore.
No, that might happen.
If people see you walking around everywhere,
they're going to think you're crazy.
That's true?
When you look like you.
No, if I
see...
When I work,
when I drive, there's
five people that I see pretty much every day
walking around, and I assume they're all crazy.
See, that's what Liz told me.
See, it's not yeah
that people probably think but i'm working in bear it's just highways and strip malls well one time
i was walking by the uh high school up down the block not the high school yes high school and
there was two like teachers standing outside and one of them said oh there's beard man right there
yeah because you're at the same time not the the same time she said it like they were just talking about me
like do you know who beard man is
yeah do you ever see beard man walking around
and like also that's the best you can come up with
he kills neighborhood cats
I'm glad now because before
when I'd walk my kid around in the stroller
but you know she's just like
a few months old and just like lying there
and you can't really see anything inside of it.
People probably thought it was an empty stroller.
I was just pushing around.
Or it had like cans in it.
Yeah, or had something in it.
So at least now it's like that's gotten a little bit better.
I don't see why walking is such a bad thing.
We're not saying walking is a bad thing.
You really did have a baby.
If you have a certain look and you walk everywhere, you're obviously crazy.
Yeah. Yeah, there are a lot of people.
Normal people drive cars.
They do drive cars.
I don't know.
Weird people walk and take the bus.
You know, you're in the city.
Take the bus?
I can't take the bus either?
You're in the city walking is a little bit more acceptable,
you know, in the city.
But when, like...
What are you going to say when you live in...
When you're in the suburbs of Bear
and you see people like walking down
Route 40 where there's like
you know a strip mall
so when I lived out in the suburbs
and would walk around with that walking stick
that I carved a snake head in the top of
that was not a good thing
you were a beard man
no he was lord of the rings
lord of the rings
they all started changing I walked by a grade school and they all You're a beard man. No, he was Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings.
They all started chanting.
You were Lord of the Rings?
Well, I walked by a grade school, and they all,
they all the kids started chanting Lord of the Rings.
Who carves a walking stick to walk around a suburban neighborhood?
Nobody.
No, Mike does.
You carved?
I carved the top, and I drilled a hole in it to put, like, some rope through.
Yeah, rope, so he could walk to the Acme.
No, I'd walk around.
I'd just walk around.
I guess there was no Acme.
It was a Kmart.
I would like to clear my head.
You know, just walk around.
You'd walk the Blockbuster across the way.
No, I would walk around the surrounding.
I mean, there are mostly highways.
Three little bakers.
They're not highways.
You don't get to carve a walk-in stick
unless you're doing the Appalachian Trail.
I found the stick.
It was a nice stick. I brought it home. Appalachian Trail. I found the stick. It was a nice stick.
I brought it home.
I sanded it down.
I carved the top.
I had a lot of free time.
You're walking on pavement.
You don't need a walking stick.
It made me feel comfortable.
Sometimes he got off the sidewalk onto the, you know.
Like on the golf course.
Just on the flat grass.
There was a golf course and there would be geese. Well manicured golf course. You just follow black grass? No, there was a golf course, and there would be geese.
Well-manicured golf course.
You just follow the geese.
Not anymore.
That place went out of business.
What did?
Three Little Bakers.
Oh, yeah?
No one's going to dinner theater anymore?
Mm-mm.
There's nothing weird.
Nothing.
I used to live in a townhouse that went right to the back of one of the, or it backed up
to the Three Little Bakers golf course.
Well, we lived at the house that you used to party back of one of the, or like it backed up to the Three Little Biggers golf course.
Well, we lived at the house that you used to party at.
Who, us?
Yeah, didn't the lady that lived at the Purgatory Court
knew you and some of your friends?
What?
How did that work?
We'll talk about that.
We'll talk about that later.
What were you saying?
No, I lived in a up that backed up to the golf
course and i had a couple golf clubs and some golf balls and there was like some trees but i could see
through the trees where a guy was teeing off at a hole and he would tee off and right when he teed
off i would hit a ball onto the golf course and so two balls would land oh Oh, that's a good... That's a good...
That's good schtick, Dave.
I had so much fun with that.
Long story short,
I had to rearrange my route
so I didn't walk by the school anymore.
You know what?
And the teachers didn't do anything.
They didn't say,
stop yelling at that poor man.
No, because they were like...
And at the time,
my hair was really long.
There's Frodo.
There's Frodo He is crazy
He's walking with a stick
Well the first kid said look he looks like a wolf man
And then the second kid said no he looks like Lord of the Rings
I guess just the book
In general
All three books
Because it's the Lord of the Rings trilogy
They all lined up on the fence
And just said Lord of the Rings
Another time I was riding his bike And this one doesn't even make any sense Lord of the Rings trilogy. They all lined up on the fence and just said, Lord of the Rings.
Another time, Michael tried on his bike,
and this one doesn't even make any sense,
and they just did the Wizard of Oz.
Dun-da-dun-da-dun-dun-da-dun-da-dun-da-dun.
That one doesn't make any sense, but it's awesome. No, because Dorothy was on her bike in the beginning.
Yeah, but you don't look like Dorothy
or the fucking Wicked Witch.
Oh, you know, on that same trip,
I know exactly the trip you're talking about and the guy did that,
another dude said, hey, Osama,
you steal that bike.
Which, I don't know if Osama bin Laden
was made famous by
bike thievery. No.
But I think there's a few other.
Like, he had his
hands in a few other places.
Start somewhere.
Alright, let's play this.
I remember in elementary school I had a start somewhere. All right. Let's play this. I remember in elementary school,
I had a Simpsons book bag.
All the characters?
All the characters were on.
Or Bartman.
No, no, no.
All the characters were on the backpack.
Who, Moe?
But somebody singled out Lisa Simpson on the book bag and said oh you got Lisa Simpson on your book bag
and everybody on the bus started chanting Lisa
kids are so cruel
yeah
Lisa's scaring jelly
Lisa's scaring jelly
Lisa's scaring jelly
don't do that
so what did you do did you stop bringing the book bag
let me ask you this hold on
was it a pink book bag and Let me ask you this. Hold on.
Was it a pink book bag and Lisa was the biggest?
No, it was like a... It was like Lisa's head with all the rest surrounded around her.
And it said Lisa down the straps.
And it was bedazzled.
It was teal and they were all the same.
You're right.
Yeah, I'm not...
All right, let's get into this...

Billy Martin.
Maybe he just moved here.
Who knows?
Yeah, that's a good point.
William Martin.
All right.
I'm going to play this.
It's a double tape on Sik Sik by Piro Lunare.
Piro Lunare.
Not to be confused with the...
The Mineral Water.
The Italian Band or the poems and things.
Something else.
Something completely different.
I really like these cases.
They're my favorite cases.
Yeah, these double high Norelco cases?
Yeah.
Well, then when I found out that they make the triple high Norelco.
Those are nice.
Those are freaks, though.
They are freaks.
Yeah, they're too weird.
This is perfect for my hand.
Oh, I love it.
Yeah, it looks like a regular tape on your hand.
For a second, I was like, I thought it was a double tape.
Because when you hand it to me,
it looks like an LP.
The cloud has got like faces in it
and there's like,
this art is awesome.
Yeah.
Who did it?
It's written inside there.
I'm pretty sure it's written inside there.
Is it artwork by Fred C?
Fred C.
Old Fred C.
No, it's pretty awesome artwork. The only gripe is the spine. Fred C. Fred C. Old Fred C.
No, it's pretty awesome.
I like it.
The only gripe is the spine.
Yeah, the spine's upside down.
Upside down.
You can't do an upside down spine.
I'll let you slide maybe on a regular tape.
But the double-hidden Rocco cases?
Yeah.
You gotta be on top of your game.
Oh, it's an underwater shot.
They wanted to get a little bit wacky with the underwater shot.
Oh, I see.
Is this underwater? I want to say it's like, you know, I feel an underwater shot. They wanted to get a little bit wacky with the underwater shot. Oh, I see. Is this underwater?
I want to say it's like, you know, I feel like it is.
These pyramids are underwater.
And then there's like Spongebob type shit going around.
That's what I... Spongebob is underwater.
That's what I'm saying.
You know, there's roads and buildings with mailboxes.
So this is some Spongebob shit happening underwater.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think that's underwater.
You don't think... I don't think that's underwater.
There's not even any bubbles.
There's no brown ground or green ground.
That looks like seaweed, man.
Yeah.
It's underwater.
Fred C., get in touch with us and let us know if this is underwater.
You know what? It's definitely underwater. Look at this.
Bing bong.
Never mind, Fred. Take the question me. Take the day off.
All right.
So what are you playing?
Something from the green tape?
The tapes are yellow, blue, green, and red.
They're your standard cassettes, the clear with the black foil with a little price tag.
Are they, though?
I bet upon closer inspection there's probably something weird.
No, I don't see anything weird.
No screws.
Don't take anything at this point.
We're going to play something off the green side.
There aren't, but there's holes for them.
Oh, weird. Maybe they took the screws out.
Oh, tabs out, screws out.
This is our first
ever tabs out, screws out.
It doesn't
pull apart, though.
Alright. Pure Lunare. Persever tabs out, screws out. It doesn't pull apart, though. All right.
All right, Pierre Lunair.
Pierre Lunair.
This love of mine, double cassette on six-sick. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 so so
uh I am a living thing to have
I am a living thing to have
I am a living thing to have © transcriptF-WATCH TV 2021 © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 It's time to make a move. Wow. Perolunaire double cassette on 6-6.
It came out, I think, last month or two months ago,
but I think they're sold out of it.
Somebody might have it.
Do some searching.
Sorry, Devad.
Some Googling.
Bing it. I took the Bing it on challenge
you know they tell you to like
compare Bing to Google
oh yeah
so you type in stuff
and then they both come up
side to side
and you pick the one you like
I picked Google
four out of five times
what about for images
because I like Bing better
I never use Bing for images
oh Bing's better
gotta get on top of that
yeah
Google actually stole
something from Bing
remember when what before on Google when you search an image uh huh Better. Got to get on top of that. Google actually stole something from Bing.
What?
Before on Google when you searched an image, you'd have 12 or more,
and then you'd have to go to page two.
On Bing, they were just all there, and you have to keep scrolling down.
Yeah, Google does that now.
Now Google does that.
But before, they took that from Bing.
And that's before what made Bing better,
because you can just keep going down.
Dave, what are you binging to the table?
That curse is just paying off all episode.
I had to do a lot of things I'm not comfortable with,
but I think it's really paying off.
We're going to play this mailbagger that came from... there's a French label. What's the name of this?
Lacohu?
Lacohu?
Lacohu.
It's that label that has
their spine
is kind of like a
quarter wrap around on the front and the back
that comes off
an extra piece of paper that, like,
is the spine and then the back flap
and, like, another flap in the front.
Yeah.
And it's separate than a panel that is the cover, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, they look fucking awesome.
Yeah, and it's always, like, a solid color
that's, like, a strip over, like, the left-hand, like, quarter.
You got any more toothpicks, Dave?
I probably got a toothpick or two. What do you guys want?
A soft birch? You want a flat top?
Do you have multiple ones in there?
No.
It's looking very tempting right about now.
My last two.
Good thing I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow.
I feel like this is like a
ceremonial type situation.
These are mint.
That's got a blast to it.
It is. It's refreshing. It comes right at. That's got a blast to it.
It is.
It comes right at you.
I'm a toothpick man.
Yeah.
I never really understood the toothpick until I saw Dave's passion for it.
He mentioned to me on the sweater party
that he wanted to get into flavor toothpicks.
And he did in a big way.
He's got a little case.
All different kinds of wood, he said.
Yeah. You don't want to do, listen a big way. He's got a little case. All different kinds of wood, he said. Yeah.
You don't want to do...
Listen, you don't want to do the flat ones.
Those aren't even fit for crafts,
let alone a man's mouth.
You want to go with...
He said that before.
You want to go with...
I've heard that one before.
You want to go with a soft...
You want to go with a soft birch.
Soft birch.

all like that and look at the back.
It's just cut all at an angle.
Kirshner, this is all mistake by the way
because it's Andrew Kirshner's label.
One Otrus whenever would not be doing that these days.
You don't think he's putting out anything
looking like this?
Like an LP where it's unglued
and falling apart?
Wow.
Like the vinyl has hair all over it.
Yeah, but this is a good tape.
I figure in celebration of Michael Jordan's paternity suit,
I hear he's involved in.
What's going on?
I don't know.
I just saw the headline.
But I figure, you know, not in celebration,
in what's the word I'm looking for?

Aluna Luna.
Aluna Luna?
Aluna Luna, can of tuna.
Aluna Luna, can of tuna.
We did an Aluna Luna tape.
All right, all right.
Aluna Luna is who Lynn Pfister, I think, is her name, who runs this label.
Does all the collage work and stuff.
She made a cartoona.
Luna Luna,
Gannatuna made a cartoona.
Yeah, so it comes with a little book. It's like a hand-sewn.
Hand-sewn with a real
one-of-a-kind collage
on the inside.
And then that is with twine connected.
Oh, and there's leaves in there.
Look at that.
Look at that.
A little plastic case with two cassettes inside.
Also very nice.
It's double-sided printing there, huh?
That's pretty nice.
All around a pretty sick box going on here.
Nice box. Nice box.
Nice box.
So, Joe, what do you want to play?
I think we'll play the first cut from Birds of Passage,
which is Alicia Murs from New Zealand.
Why'd you even try?
I don't know.
I should try to pronounce letters.
It's just objects to you.
Yeah, I don't get it.
All right, last tape.
Thanks to Z Radio for doing the intro.
That's why I have trouble reading The Hobbit and things like that
because I can't pronounce.
Because you can't read.
Well, I can read, but I can't pronounce some of the names in my head.
Fantasy or sci-fi because they're all big names.
I had trouble reading Game of Thrones, too,
because the names are so...
How do you say that?
Yeah.
Yeah, so. And I can't read. When you can't say them, they just all run together. reading Game of Thrones too because like the names are so how do you say that yeah yeah so
thanks and I can't read
when you can't say them they just all run together
it's not that I don't like to it's not that I don't know how to read
and write I just don't like to read and write
uh yeah thanks to Z Radio
for doing the intro with the
at the top of the program and again thanks to
all the people who've donated yeah double
thanks oh and uh if you
target renegade for a slamming intro track.
Oh, that, yeah.
You gotta remember to send me that.
If you run a cassette label
and you dub at home,
send us pictures of your dubbing setup
for a little featurette.
On the website.
On the old tabsout.com.
All right, I think that's it, right?
Did we touch all the major bullet points?
I think so.
Major bullet points.
That's it.
