Welcome to Tabs Out Podcast. episode number three got you sucker it's 34 34 tabs out cassette podcast episode number 34 can't believe it's that far john pile in tonight for joe b who's on assignment he's he's doing some investigative reporting at uh a tape manufacturer over down in brazil oh yeah there's some shit going down yeah there's a little bit of a scandal. They had some, their chrome tapes were actually normal bias tapes
Starting point is 00:01:27 and he's doing some, he's doing some, we got him under, he's been undercover at the plant for the last month. He's working there. He's got a five gallon, he's got a five gallon hat
Starting point is 00:01:37 with a secret camera in it. And everybody picks on him for it. He's like, oh, he's like, are you sure these are chrome tapes? Yeah, he's going to bust that wide open. That's how you guys do it. Take that, Snowden.
Starting point is 00:01:53 What if he gets so deep that he needs to move away? He can't come home. Oh, man. That would be bad. Russia will take him. I'm sure. Who will take him? Russia will take him.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Oh, they'll take anybody. Are you kidding me? All right, you guys want to jump into this episode? Yeah. Jump in. Number 34. That sounds dangerous. Well, just ease in one foot at a time.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I don't know. Have you ever seen me try to step on a skateboard? Oh, yes, I have seen you attempt. I haven't seen you actually complete it. Your center of balance is like... I don't know where it is. That's the problem. It's not in the center.
Starting point is 00:02:31 We know that much. All right, I got a cassette here that just arrived in the mail today, just in time. The Circuit Rider Unit Holds tape on Jehu and Chinaman that just came out. John Powell, you know about this tape? No, it looks really good, though.
Starting point is 00:02:44 This is a collaboration between Derek Rogers and Lee Noble. Oh, wow. I think this is the only thing that they have out under that name. I think it's their Debye. It's like modular synth and synthesizers and other fun, wacky stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:06 I really like the cover art a lot. That kind of calligraphic sort of font looks like it was written with a fountain pen. I really like it on cassettes when they crop the artwork down to not the entire front panel. It's framed out. It's kind of like how old cassettes had the LP cover art and a little square at the bottom. Yeah. Nice little baby blue cassette shell here, too.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Yeah, it's pretty. It's a pretty one. Is that a prison tape, too? It is. Well, kind of. Kind of, because it's screwless, but prison tapes, they also have to be clear. Duh.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Come on, John. I don't get with it. You could definitely hide cocaine in that. You might think you've never. Is the problem cocaine? I thought the problem would be they'd be hiding like a razor blade in it. Well, you know. I mean.
Starting point is 00:03:53 They're both bad. A small. Yeah. You could put cocaine in there. They're both bad. They're both bad. Never use cocaine or razor blades for anything. Either of them.
Starting point is 00:04:01 They're both bad. For anything? Bad. No. The more you know. This just came out last month. They're both bad. For anything? Bad. No. The more you know. This just came out last month. It came out in September.
Starting point is 00:04:10 It limits to 50 copies. I believe it's still available from Jehu and Chinaman. I'm going to play track two called The Dangers of Silence. Which is also
Starting point is 00:04:21 that's the name of the fourth chapter in my autobiography I have coming out. Mike Haley, the Mike Haley story, written by Mike Haley. Well, dictated, not read. So let's get into this. First cut off in episode number 34, Circuit Rider, Unit Holds Cassette.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Here it is. ¶¶ so oh © transcript Emily Beynon Thank you. ¶¶ so wow ¶¶ so Wow! Wow. Circuit Rider. Actually, the third cut. Last jam on the A-side. The Clock That Conquers Time. Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:09:23 That was good, right? That whole tape is really fucking awesome. Yeah, it was really good. i hope they record more stuff together i like that i like that title too which one the clock that conquers time the clock that conquers time dave yeah get the shit out of your mouth dave you like it so much yeah that's uh like i said i believe it's still available just came out on jehu and china man google that and uh i think it should be a rule we don't give out any web addresses like by this point you should be able just to be able to find something on your own i don't understand why anybody has a web address anymore like advertises their web address anymore yeah you just google it yeah you find it you'll
Starting point is 00:09:58 find it oh how do i get the pizza hut what is it pizza.gov slash hut.html all right jp you want to go next or dave you want to go next um i'll go john biles hold the tape and you're holding a beer so yeah all right so i'm gonna play the first track off of the alberic side of the albrecht Ames Sanglante split on Hospital Productions. This track is called Fence Before Dawn. It's from the last bigger hospital tape batch. Let me see that.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I haven't heard of it. How many? 100 copies. You don't have to say limited at that point, right? Well, I mean, they only made so many. It's an exam. I just want to bust this, but you did something wrong. You don't have to say limited at that point, right? Well, I mean, they only made so many, so it's limited. I just want to bust this, but you did something wrong. But I guess they all are, right?
Starting point is 00:10:51 I mean, every pressing has a set amount for the most pressing, I guess. You can have an open edition where you just keep making them. Yeah, I mean, there's that exception. I think if you're going to say limited to, it needs to be a number that's like relatively a low amount. If you're going to make a car and you make like 20,000 of them or something. I don't know how many cars
Starting point is 00:11:14 when they make a car, how many do they make? Probably like, I don't know. Because I've seen cars that say limited, like an Eddie Bauer you know, whatever. And it's a limited edition. But how many of those are they making? 100? Yeah. Not many. What happened now?
Starting point is 00:11:30 Hospital Productions put out a car? Probably could with the price they're charging for these tapes. I'm intrigued by this, John. I guess saying Abbey Road was limited to 4 million copies isn't really a selling point, right? Better go get one! I was at the Salvation Army the other day, and they had like, you know, they have shit like behindvation Army the other day, and they have shit behind glass.
Starting point is 00:11:48 When they get knives, they're behind glass, or stuff that's really, really nice. And they had two Beatles LPs that were shit condition, water damage, torn the fuck up, behind the glass. I was like, just put them out with that. They do that with Elvis stuff, too. I don't understand. What do you think you will have?
Starting point is 00:12:07 Elvis CD box set at the thrift store, and they're just like, better keep this back here. The only one to take this is the king. I don't understand. Where did that thing start, where people think that every Beatles... They made millions of Beatles records. Millions of them.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Why would they be worth so much money? I've been trying to. Wait till we're playing the tapes and then you chew a chip. Jesus Christ. This is professionalism here. I've got to say something I really like about this tape. It's a three-panel J-card. And look on the inside.
Starting point is 00:12:37 It's the hospital records logo over and over and over again. I like that. It looks really nice. Nice big pile of them. Yeah, nice huge pile of them. They made it just for me. What do you mean by that? John's pile.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Oh, because his last name. I get it now. All right, so what you're playing, do you know anything about this? The Albrecht. Yeah, it's good. All right. John Wikipedia pile over here. It's good.
Starting point is 00:13:05 It's pretty good. Hospital Productions, number 378. Are they seriously up to 378? That's insane. I do like... I know I put up some... I came at you with that one. I leaned into that one. I know I was upset when you said
Starting point is 00:13:22 limited to 100. But it actually has a little LTD 100 on the spine. Yeah, honestly, I was just reading that. I like that. To kill time. You never see that on the spine. On the spine? Yeah, that's a nice little touch.
Starting point is 00:13:33 That's a nice little touch. Oh, look, another on the tape itself. It's got the hospital on the B side, the hospital logo. This is really nicely put together. It's really good. on the B side. The hospital logo. This is really nicely put together. It's really good. I do like it. And I always like a black tape with a black label on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:50 That always looks good. If you got the printer, if you got a good printer. Yeah, don't come at me with an eight-year-old Hewlett Packard with like, you're like, I can get one more print out of this cartridge. More like stink jet. Yeah. It's like, it's purple on like every like 15. You can see where it's stink jet. Yeah. It's like, it's purple and like every like 15,
Starting point is 00:14:06 you can see where it's like not really black, it's purple and like you can see where every pass went. And there's like, somehow there's like a big like splash of yellow
Starting point is 00:14:15 that went across the bottom for some reason. Someday I promise you that look will come into vogue. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. People will think it's cool. You'll be wanting it.
Starting point is 00:14:22 And it'll, it'll be, they'll be there. All right, why don't you go ahead and say the name of this artist again and then I'll be there. All right. Why don't you go ahead and say the name of this artist again, and then I'll post it. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:27 So here we have Albrecht from the split with Amis Siglantes on Hospital Productions. Let's go. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What's amazing is that I'm still the same All the time, we're amazing I don't know where you came from Thank you. Thank you. This is how it's finished. All right. Albrecht, off the split with Amos Singlantes on Hospital Production. Amos Singlantes, too. You're Singlantes?
Starting point is 00:20:38 What? Amos Singlantes? I get it. I get what you did there. You see what I did? Yeah, I see what you did. It was like you said something. But they can't see it. They can just hear it. I get what you did there. You see what I did? Yeah, I see what you did. It was like you said something. But they can't see it.
Starting point is 00:20:47 They can just hear it. I said something that kind of sounded like it. Yeah. But it wasn't it. Yeah. What I did there was I played with the words. He's a wordsmith. Yeah, my brain's not working.
Starting point is 00:21:01 I have to pee so bad right now. Well, I'll let you know when we get that bathroom installed. All right, Dave. What do you got? I'm going to do a track off of this. How would you say that? Bow noise? Meow noise.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Bow noise? Boo noise. Boo noise? I'm digging this cover art. Send that over here. Yeah, this is like, it looks like packaging for a sample of some kind of medication. Yeah, well, I was going to say...
Starting point is 00:21:29 Or like a VHS tape. Yeah, I was going to say it looks like a blank VHS tape. Yeah. Well, it is actually supposed to look like medication. Oh, yeah, I see it now. 500. But it does look like that, or like a blank tape or something. Yeah. Yeah, it's got this little, what would you call that? Little style in the middle there?
Starting point is 00:21:46 Oh, no. With all those colors. A little. It's kind of like a test pattern. Yeah. Yeah. It's like glitched. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Like if you have satellite TV and they show the test pattern. Yeah, it's like squiggle vision. It's nothing. No. It's like watching Channel 99 back in the day, but without a black box. What's Channel 99? I mean, you know, like any random... Get up on your microphone, by the way.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Any random channel that you would, you know... Spice. Oh, I see what you're getting at. Wait, hold on, John Pyle. Let's get deep into this. A little bit of a Delco accent. He said, oh, I know what you're talking about. Don't change the subject.

You used to watch Scrambled Spice Channel when you were a kid no man i would everybody used to make like video collages and stuff like that you know artistic purposes and everything i can imagine you like like swooshing the the goth curl out of your face i'm gonna i'm so tormented I'm gonna use this for a video collage yeah right I know what you're doing so Dave what we got here
Starting point is 00:22:50 I see this as remixes yeah this is I talked to Joe B about this before I'm not typically a fan of remixes especially like when it's like you know of like popular songs or like well known artists oh wait is it this?
Starting point is 00:23:05 So this artist, Meow Noise, remixes like the Bee Gees. Yeah, yeah. And Barry White. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, this is... This isn't Meow Noise being remixed by other people.

Starting point is 00:23:44 Think you're better than me? This is a really nice... Like you were saying, the J-Card is meant to look like medication. Yeah. And then on the inside of the J-Card, it's printed on both sides. On the inside, it's set up like
Starting point is 00:24:02 where the track listing is. It says drug facts and has like everything yeah yeah yeah when using this product you may get drowsy avoid alcoholic drinks for more information please visit pionoise.com and i like that uh i like this label's name crash symbols but it's symbols like you know like a cross like a symbol not like a symbol.

Bow, bow, bow. Bow noise. Bow noise. Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow. I got a question. You got a question? About the catalog number.
Starting point is 00:29:35 Let me... Why is it... What is it? Why is it PBUH 37? Why is it PBUH 37? I was actually wondering the same thing. The label's Crash Symbols, right? Yeah. PBUH 37.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Peanut butter. Because it's the 37th release that they've done. Right, but what's PB... Don, figure that one out. What's PBUH stand for? Make sure it works with that. What? What's PBUH stand for?
Starting point is 00:30:01 Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'm sure it does, yeah. You would expect... 36th release was the last one and then 38 will come after that simple math basic math listen up folks is the product of an american education system over here for some good back and forth there yeah would you want me to say what pbuh stands for take a guess. Take a guess. Oh, do you know? No, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Well, when you said take a guess, I thought you knew. No, I'm not going to guess then if you don't know, because it's a fool's errand. There's no point. Have Sean Powell guess. He's got nothing else going on for him. What's PBUH mean? Puba. You were also saying... Yeah, man, get on the mic man you know it's just it's the seat is just
Starting point is 00:30:50 maybe it's just that position because joe b can never get there either just lean in just lean in i i just don't i don't know put your elbow on the table i don't like that get comfy look at me it's impolite to put your elbows on the table. That's the dinner table, not the podcasting table, John. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, I got a question. Where does that rule come from? Because I can understand a lot of etiquette has, there's something to it.
Starting point is 00:31:13 But where does the don't put your elbows on the table come from? Why would you not do that? It probably comes from the old days when people were out riding horses and stuff like that and had horse butter all over their elbows or something like that. They would lean them on the table. But only on their elbows? Before toilet paper, people used to wipe their ass with their elbows.
Starting point is 00:31:32 That's where from ass to elbows comes from. Yeah, exactly. That makes sense. Man, PBUH that shit. You were saying also you want these labels from Morgantown? Yeah, Morgantown, morgantown west virginia that's interesting which is like where vov was not last year but the two years before
Starting point is 00:31:51 that you think whoever uh runs this label works at the sheets is oh that's a good question there's not much else going on in morgantown right not really no i mean you know best buy walgreens oh i forgot there was that mega complex that they put in. He works at the Giant Eagle. But that's everywhere. Yeah. You can't go anywhere in this country without... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:12 It just... Yeah, the hustle and bustle. It's just the hustle and... You know. And the clowns in Washington. I'm just glad that we have this quality time together. It really makes you wonder. All right.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Oh, is it my turn? All right, Mises' turn. I'm going to play this tape we got in the mail from Fragment Factory from Shrimpfalschgruppe, which translates, I believe, to Shrimpfestgruppie, someone who just
Starting point is 00:32:40 likes Shrimpfest. John Paul, you want to say the name of this tape for our listening audience? I can't pronounce that. Go ahead. You're the only one who's comfortable with saying something that sounds like this. I can't pronounce that. The Negredo Cassette on Fragment Factory. The Schimpfalsch Group.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Because you're an intelligent guy. This just came out in August. It's a collective with some weirdos. Rudolph Eber. E-B period E-R. You guys know who that is? No.
Starting point is 00:33:14 He's a weirdo. He's got some weird side show thing going on with his life. And a bunch of other people. This tape is him and David Phillips. The A side is a live set they recorded in Tokyo last year. And then the B side is some recordings that they made for sounds that they played
Starting point is 00:33:31 at the live gig. And I'm going to play a little bit off of the B side. It's a C46. I got it right around the middle. I dig this J card. It's like the inside. The front, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:43 it's two panels. It's got like trees on the front. And the last panel is all black. And then you turn it around. It's two panels. It's got trees on the front. And the last panel is all black. I like that. All black. Bam, just all black. Midnight. What are you censoring over there, Mike?
Starting point is 00:33:53 What's that? What are you censoring my eyes from over there? Is that what that is? Is it making everything dark behind it or blurry? It's pixelated. All black cassette with some white imprint on it looks really nice like i said it just came out back in august um david phillips and uh rudolph eber uh record like each each dude is on their own channel like one guy's on the left and one
Starting point is 00:34:21 guy's on the right oh okay and uh i always thought it'd be cool to do an infinite loop tape like that a what an infinite loop tape like collab like that where you put one dude on the left and one dude on the right do you think uh loop cassettes are stereo i've been you know what that's a good question i've i've gone put a loop cassette in uh like a four track recently and you can totally split up all the tracks and record them like that's surprising you would think loop tapes would just be mono because it's they're not just basically for answer machines yeah it's because they're not like you know for like no one's putting like high quality audio on these things right yeah john pile can you speak to that you
Starting point is 00:34:58 can know you can send me you can still split them up it'll still work the more you know we're you're dropping science i split i yeah i guess i record because i recorded like it wouldn't matter on one in a four track and then put it into one of those um um you know cassette for the blind things or whatever and was able to like switch between the trackings between the channels and put in stereo and have them play at the same time interesting yeah it probably shouldn't matter what the tape is, right? You should be able to record stereo on any tape. Oh, well, that's a good point.
Starting point is 00:35:30 I mean... I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know why I didn't catch that either. Yeah. I don't know if that or not, but mine are stereo tapes. This is an interesting letterpress piece. We talked about that last episode. Maybe if you listened to the show,
Starting point is 00:35:43 you would have heard it. All right, don't touch it Joe likes put it right there he's gonna get back he's gonna say who moved this I'm gonna say John pile and he's gonna say you did a show with John pile because we didn't even tell him we're doing this yeah I told him you talk to Joe yeah I talked to Joe because did you talk to Joe I talked to Joe this afternoon cuz I didn't know you called him or he called you I called him him. Okay, just checking. He picked up after the first ring, too. I haven't got a call from him yet.
Starting point is 00:36:07 You know, he's just back from vacation. I'm going to give him a little bit of time. I'm a considerate friend. I'm not calling him up right away. You said he picked up after the first ring? I thought he was still on vacation. I don't give a shit. He's never picked up after the first ring with me.
Starting point is 00:36:24 That really makes me... I gotta think about that. Well, let's think about that while we play a little bit off the B-side of the Schimpfalsch Group cassette, C-46, Fragment Factory No. 29. And here's a taste. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Skim Floss Group off the Negredo cassette on fragment factory maybe i should reverse that
Starting point is 00:45:30 see what that sounds like because it almost sounds like you're talking backwards oh yeah you should reverse it see what it sounds like you would you be up for reversing it in in post i could reverse it in post and put it right here throw it hold it right here well that was exciting yeah thanks for doing that dave no problem that's my reaction to act like i already heard it whoa john did you hear that that was crazy oh that's like what crazy don't push the button the button's bad lock that was some lost shit i never watched lost yeah well you made out. Don't bother. Yeah, don't bother. I watched the last episode, though. Oh, well, good place to start.
Starting point is 00:46:08 It was so bad, so make sure that I'll never watch that show. Normally, I would say any show would be bad if you only watched the last episode. Yeah, but this was particularly... Because you literally have no clue what's going on. Yeah, but this was particularly bad. It was really bad. Yeah. Speaking of bad, what tape do you want to play?
Starting point is 00:46:26 Oh, I see what you did. Good segue. Alright, so this one, I'm actually really excited about playing this one. I forgot I had it. Oh, is that like a Darkthrone tape? It's a black metal tape. It's Triangulum and
Starting point is 00:46:41 Zalemoth Northern Occultism Split. This cassette's super awesome. It's two one-man black metal bands. Okay, I see that. But the way they recorded it... Dave's like... Dave, stop trying to touch it.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Yeah, just let him finish, and then Dave will... The way they recorded it is super cool. They went out in the woods in the middle of the night with a little pocket amp, a snare drum, and a couple pine twigs to use as uh sticks play the drums and they record it and that's how they recorded one you
Starting point is 00:47:14 know one person did that yeah like one person would play the drums the other person would play guitar the other person would you know switch and they recorded it like that on a little handheld cassette recorder where are these people from uh i think they're from Michigan somewhere. I'm not sure. It gets cold there. That's what I... I thought you were going to say Norway. But no, they're from Michigan. They might even be Yoopers.
Starting point is 00:47:37 I'm not sure. But it's really good, though. For being what it is, it's so good. For being a pocket amp yeah i mean it's amazing i mean i think they really they really did something good there but do they have other releases out where they don't do that i you know is this like some sort of like side project i think they play together in and i can't the name of it escapes me right now
Starting point is 00:48:01 but what is the name oh don't know what it is what it in the we're not doing all of this editing he already or not he reversed those words now he's editing something for you well they have people could just Google that stuff or like look on like metal archives and they can find that stuff out they don't need they don't need stinky old John to tell them what you don't need some stinky old john to like tell them what to do you don't need some soj telling you what yeah exactly i like the uh i like the the quality of the the uh artwork it looks like they took the original like the original like
Starting point is 00:48:39 they made it and then they put it in their pants and it went through the washing machine let me say and then they and then they photocopied it. It just got like a... You know what? Like you're talking about the actual J-Card? Huh? You're talking about the actual J-Card itself? Well, it doesn't feel like...
Starting point is 00:48:53 Because it's definitely like... It feels like it's been wet before. Oh, that was just... That was you. That was you getting it wet. No, no, no, no. Because it's J-Card. I feel like I could just like crumble it up. Yeah, well, it's some nice rag-based paper, you know? was you getting it wet. No, no, no, no. Because it's J-Card. I feel like I could just crumble it up.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Yeah, well, it's some nice rag-based paper. Ooh, rag-based. Jump high with the industry terms. It's coming right off on my hands here. Dude, stop ruining it. Well, let me wipe it clean. Mike, I don't... I'm going to give it back.

Starting point is 00:49:48 in the Swamp. Pop that in. What side am I putting in? The front. The front side. Way to put a label on this. There's no label on it, but that's because they don't want to have some pro tape. What are you,
Starting point is 00:50:04 the tape police? Yeah, exactly. Maybe I am. I'll be awesome. I'm the host of Tabs Out. That would be awesome if there were tape police that showed up and their sirens was just a loop cassette playing of a siren and they showed up.
Starting point is 00:50:18 How would you be able to tell the difference between, like, a loop cassette and a siren? So you're telling me that if a cop drove by with a loop cassette playing, you'd be like, that sounds just and a siren. So you're telling me that if a cop drove by with a loop cassette playing, you'd be like, that sounds just like a siren. I wasn't even going to say anything. No, you could tell. Because it wouldn't be perfect.
Starting point is 00:50:35 And it would have a leader, so it would have a few seconds of silence. Woo! Woo! That's a little bit longer than that. It's like a woo! There's the most pathetic sounding sirens ever. Well, sorry they're not manly enough for you, John.
Starting point is 00:50:53 All right? Not all of us have like, those sirens are weird. Black metal tapes recorded in the woods. Like some of us like... I play white drums in the pond. We're not talking about that. We're talking about your police sirens.

Or they're moving, and they have to get rid of their inventory before they move. Yeah. Sally's Crystal Palace, is that what you said? Yeah, something like you know

Starting point is 01:02:28 I'm really happy with this one. This is a treat. This tape just came out. It came out over the summer. So like back in August, I think. It was part of the summer batch number two from Constellation Tatsu. Along with the Grapefruit and Panabrite tapes. Who I know both of those projects, Grapefruit and Panebrite tapes, who I know both of those projects, Grapefruit and Panebrite.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Yeah. Know them, enjoy them. But this name I did not know. I'm going to say it incorrectly, as I do every other thing I say. But Betel Soler, a tape called Documentaries. I'm not even going to try to say the name of the person who does this project because there's an umlaut in the name. Don't get me started. I'm not going to jump in there. But first of all,
Starting point is 01:03:09 take a look at this cover art. Look at that popping off. Look at that. The cover art was done by Felix Morel from Montreal. FelixMorel.com Oh, I just broke our rule of not saying websites. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:03:24 But this is... Was that an on-body print on that? Yeah. Oh, wow. It books itself as a concept album of sorts based on the dissolution of borders between spiritual and material, animal and vegetable,
Starting point is 01:03:46 or vegetal. Animal and vegetable. Natural and digital, microscopic and macro. The four elements, religion, musical schools, as seen through the prism of scientific documentary. Now I don't know about all that, but it's fucking good

Can you? I gotta say, like, I'm really impressed with the amount of... This is like a screened... This is like a pro-dubbed and pro-screened shell.
Starting point is 01:04:52 And, like, the detail... There's, like, super fine lines. Like, it's like a three-dimensional, like, topographical map or something. Yeah, it's pretty nice.

Starting point is 01:17:27 That whole tape's really fucking good, man. I don't know too much about the whole concept album of the idea behind it, but who am I to question somebody else's motives? I'll tell you what, I'll question whatever I want to question. Yeah. John Powell, don't get in this. It's between me and my God.
Starting point is 01:17:44 Alright, John, what do you got? All right. So what I have... Have you ever brought a cassette over here with any color printing whatsoever? You know, I thought I had the new Dillaway with me, and that has color on it. I enjoy how a little inside baseball...
Starting point is 01:17:58 The way we divvy up the mailbag, when we do a show, like, what? Every two weeks? Like, twice a month? About that, yeah. About that. And the stuff that comes in the mail hangs out, it builds up, and then when we do a show, we all get together,
Starting point is 01:18:12 and we do a little round robin, a little NBA draft, and we all pick out tapes. And tonight, it got down to the point, like John Pye was searching for black and white stuff. You were almost upset that there wasn't any of that. No, it's not black and white stuff. And it got down to tapes that had color in them. He was like, I don't want anything else.
Starting point is 01:18:29 No, no, no, no. It's not that. They were just like, they're really well put together looking. And I just like stuff personally. John, take a shit on your tape before you send it to me. Personally, I just like stuff that looks a little fucked up. A little raw. That's just my taste. Oh, baby, you like it raw. He likes little raw. That's just my taste.
Starting point is 01:18:45 Oh, baby, you like it raw. He likes it raw. That's my least favorite memory. That's why he used to watch all that scrambled porn on TV. No. Why? Because I don't like the old Dirty Bastard. I bet you only watched it on black and white TVs.
Starting point is 01:19:00 I only watch scrambled porn on black and white TVs. It's the only way I can watch porn. John, black and white scrambled porn pile. Oh scramble porn on black and white TVs. It's the only way I can watch porn. John, black and white scrambled porn pile. Oh, I think it's easy tape, easy. Alright, what do you got? Getting a little too into it there. What you got for
Starting point is 01:19:15 the listening audience? This is a pretty cool tape. It's the project is called Halal Dalkeel and the tape is extracted from hell. And this was originally recorded in 1995 or so. I was in eighth grade in 95, I think. And it's just weird.
Starting point is 01:19:34 Just discovering what my body could do. Black metal influenced. Couldn't do that much. Dark ambient kind of stuff. Your body couldn't do black metal influenced, dark ambient stuff. It has its limits. It was just recently reissued. Get off of that.
Starting point is 01:19:48 Via Withering Crypt. And yeah, I'm going to play some songs. Why am I looking at this and I feel like it's a Charles Bronson 7-inch? I love how every time I bring anything that's black and white in Xerox, you're like, what is this, a Charles Bronson 7-inch? What is this, a Tragedy 7-inch? You're always comparing it to some 90s hardcore. This is the second...
Starting point is 01:20:09 Tragedy was 2000s. Whatever. This is the second tape we played tonight with an all-black flooded inside. Yeah, multiple panels, too. Oh, look, you have a little star there. I didn't see that. A little black-on-black printing.
Starting point is 01:20:26 What did you say the name of this project was? Halal Dalkiel. All right, hand that over. You got this cued up to something? Yeah. You got the screw side or the other side? The screw side. All right.
Starting point is 01:20:38 Oh, dip. That's a long one. It's only... That's a 92. Everything on this label is on a C92, regardless of how long it is. Oh, yeah, he just buys them in buck? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:49 What's the name of the label again? Withering Crypt. Withering Crypt. We should play a game one time where you have to guess the length of the tape by the weight. Oh, I like that. You have to blindfold. 92.
Starting point is 01:21:01 Let me see. 92. I'm not playing with you. What do you think, John? John's holding it. That does feel lighter than a 92. I'm going to ask you I'm not playing with you. What do you think, John? John's holding it. That does feel lighter than 92. I'm going to ask you a question real quick, John. What?
Starting point is 01:21:09 What's with that Band-Aid on your thumb? What is that? Oh, I cut my finger on my bike. It's a Mickey Mouse Band-Aid, though. Yeah, I was going to ask. Do you have a child's Band-Aid? Well, no. I was at the store, and I was getting Band-Aids,
Starting point is 01:21:19 and I like these Mickey Mouse Band-Aids, and so I got those. That's all. It comes a time when every man needs to grow up, John. All right. Here's a... I like it. Hello.

The forces of darkness. The forces of darkness. The forces of darkness. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to be. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man. I'm not a man.
Starting point is 01:25:26 I'm not a man. I'm not a man. Thank you. I am what we desire. Thank you. I don't think so. I am going to go ahead and put it in the air. Thank you. All right. Hell, El Del Quillo. Grim. Extracted from hell. On withering. I believe it. You believe it?
Starting point is 01:29:32 I believe it was extracted from hell. Recorded in 94 or 95. Yeah. What were you doing in 94 or 95? Nothing. Nothing at all? Been into power electronics for years. All right, Dave.
Starting point is 01:29:44 What do you got? What you got for us? I got a bunch of stuff over here, but I'm just gonna pick one for now. You're not gonna jam like eight tapes in the thing? Play them all! I'm gonna play this amalgamated tape that came out on
Starting point is 01:29:59 Metaphysical Circus recently. You were talking this up earlier. I've been playing this a lot. Oh yeah? It is handsome looking. It is it is very handsome it is a good looking tape yeah metaphysical circuits is the new label from the dude that did beard of snails um and amalgamated we played one of their tapes before right yeah a while back a self-released one that got reissued on cave recordings yeah. Yeah, yeah. And this is also like, I think that was like archival stuff that,
Starting point is 01:30:28 you know, came out in like, I mean, it's not really, I guess it's kind of archival, came out in like 2005. Yeah, that's like eight years ago. Or they recorded in like 2005. It's no 94, 95, but whatever. The boys could have been recording a little bit earlier.
Starting point is 01:30:44 Yeah. And this is from that same time period. Pass it on over here. The cover's like a Magic Eye poster. What ever happened to Magic Eye posters? Remember when Dave Matthews did that album cover that was a Magic Eye? No, I don't remember anything about Dave Matthews, John Pyle. Neither do I.
Starting point is 01:30:58 Jesus Christ. He's the only one who remembers anything about Dave Matthews. Oh. Wait, I mean, who? Yeah, this is two panel J. I went to a Dave Matthews concert. It's. I mean, who? Yeah, this is two panel J car. I went to a Dave Matthews concert. It's okay, John. Did you really?
Starting point is 01:31:09 Yeah, I went with a friend as a favor. I went to two. I went to two. My girlfriend in high school was really into Dave Matthews band. I wanted to be a good, you know, a good boyfriend.
Starting point is 01:31:22 So I took her to two Dave Matthews concerts. What do you think she's doing right now? I have no idea. She's probably at a Dave Matthews concert. Yeah. Probably. Sing a few bars.
Starting point is 01:31:35 Give me a lick. Beep-bo. Beep-bo. I got a sweet treat for you. We wake up in the morning. Crack my toes, give me something to drink. I don't really know Dave Matthews that well. You pretty much got it.
Starting point is 01:31:51 That's pretty much it? Okay. I'm digging the layout of this. Not only is the cover pretty great, it's got amalgamated all the letters in their fancy little 3D type thing all laid out there. And then tiny little triangles going everywhere.
Starting point is 01:32:09 Thanks. It's got a number, letter, picture. One picture with more picture. And then it's, you know, very, I can't think of the word that I want, but each section of the J card is very... Yeah. You know what I mean when I go to that? Well, they're cropped out real nice. There's a nice white border around each. And look at the fold.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Damn, Gina, I love a good fold. Now you're messing around. You're probably going to wipe the ink off. Jesus Christ. No, it doesn't look like the ink's going to come off. Well, you'd be surprised. You leave that in his hands for long enough. It'll wipe right off. I'm excited to hear this because I heard that one tape and I enjoyed it.
Starting point is 01:32:48 And Dave, you've been talking this one up. Yeah. And John Pilots, black and white, so there's something for everyone to like. Oh yeah,
Starting point is 01:32:53 there's something for all of us. I'm going to play a little bit from the end of the A side and then I'm going to... Oh, it's got a label on it. Yeah, and I like how the label is like the inverse
Starting point is 01:33:04 of the triangles from the cover, the tiny, tiny little triangles. Yeah, and the label is like the inverse. Of the triangles from the cover, the tiny, tiny little triangles? Yeah. It looks so good. Man, this is a nice little thing you got here. What side are you playing? I'm going to play a little bit at the end of the A side, and then we're going to flip it over and listen a little bit at the beginning of the B side. Ooh, two, two, two, two strips of bacon.

Starting point is 01:54:32 From Galloping Shadow called Winner's Web. Galloping Shadow is one half of the black metal band Bone All. 50%. Bone All is a two-piecepiece band like a full boner so this is both the all no not boner bone all take a Boston accent something your wicked bone all you got a wicked bone I'm never coming back yeah you'll come back you got nothing else to do that's not sure this is both the dudes cut in half there's, one dude.
Starting point is 01:55:05 Oh, okay. They went that route. They went that 50% route. Yeah. That boring one. But this, it's super good. It's like super kind of raw, stompy, punk influenced black metal.
Starting point is 01:55:16 I like stompy. I really like it. I like when things are stompy. You've been saying a lot of things are super something tonight. Well, he's got a lot
Starting point is 01:55:24 of super picks. Super, super. You're wearing the he's got a lot of super picks. You're wearing the Batman shirt. I'm feeling super. You are feeling very super. Is Batman a superhero? Yeah, he's a superhero. What, because he doesn't have regular superpowers?
Starting point is 01:55:36 Well, that's my question. I'm trying to get into like... John Pyle is answering you like he's heard this argument a million times. He jumped right into it. It's like he's looking in the mirror when he's getting dressed. I'm wearing the Batman shirt. Someone please ask me if Batman's a superhero. No, because I'm trying to,
Starting point is 01:55:51 you know, we were talking about this earlier before we started the show. I'm trying to get into comic books or something. But I want to, so you don't have to have superpowers to be a superhero.
Starting point is 01:56:00 No. I would argue that his ability to juggle the life of a Touggle the life of an entrepreneur playboy and an inventor of crime-fighting tools and just generally awesome technology. That makes him a superhero? So is Steve Jobs a superhero? No, Steve Jobs is whatever. Steve Jobs is dead.
Starting point is 01:56:23 Yeah. Well, superheroes can die. So was Steve Jobs is dead Yeah Well superheroes can die So was Steve Jobs Superman died No spoiler alerts So you're saying because Batman's like a playboy But also Hold on let me finish
Starting point is 01:56:37 He's like a playboy And also he uses like sophisticated weaponry That he invented himself Okay so Because I was going to say is James Bond a superhero Also, he uses sophisticated weaponry. That he invented himself. Okay. Because I was going to say, is James Bond a superhero? One could make the argument that he is. Well, one could make an argument for anything, John.
Starting point is 01:56:58 I would just say that James Bond is an action hero. So is Batman an action hero? No, Batman is a superhero. What do you think? Give us a call at 100 Tabs Out. Let us know if you think Batman's a superhero. Text us. John Powell, give your number out. Text John Powell number one if you think it's... No, I'm not giving out my phone number.
Starting point is 01:57:11 Alright, so what are you playing here? I just want to know what a superhero is. Is Spock a superhero? No. Spock is... Guys, shut up. Galloping Shadow. He's a stall truck. Alright, what do you got? Hand me the tape again. John Powell, we get a little loose. You guys are getting real loose.
Starting point is 01:57:28 I don't like it. John Pyle, also, not only is there another all black inside J card. Ooh, the third one. One for each of us. Another thing about John Pyle, not only are all of your tapes black and white, but they're all 72 DPI. Everyone prints these out in the lowest quality possible. That's the way he rolls, man.
Starting point is 01:57:48 That's how he likes them. He likes it raw. All right, so we're going to play something off this Galloping Shadow Winters Web cassette on a label from... Scenarius Productions. Scenarius Productions from California. John Powell's a man that knows what he likes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:03 And here's one of those things. I don't know. I'm a man of my own We can't stand the cold, we can't stand the pain We can't stand the cold We can't stand the cold We can't stand the cold I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm

Starting point is 02:01:12 Dave, you going to play a cassette tape? Yeah, I'm going to play a cassette tape. What do you got? I'm going to play this tape from Tumeric Magnitudes. Tumeric, huh? Is that how you say that? Tumeric Magnitudes. Tumeric?
Starting point is 02:01:23 Tumeric Tumeric. I go back and forth. Yeah? Yeah. I've never heard a scholar say the word. This has been one of the most active new cassette labels I think I've ever seen. Yeah. They just popped up over the summer and have like 50 releases now.
Starting point is 02:01:39 Yeah. It's weird. They started with like a 7-inch. I think their first release was actually a 7-inch, and then everything after that was cassettes. And they realized that those are too expensive. Yeah, exactly. But this is a three-way split,
Starting point is 02:01:54 and I think it's actually all one dude, or it's like all two dudes or something. It's all two dudes. All two dudes. All two dudes. Say that a couple times. And run over. What uh i got here the compilation is called primavera and what is it mundo animal mundo animal dark spring and black thread i think the
Starting point is 02:02:17 guy who does this label i believe his name is greg and i believe he does black thread and vibrating garbage okay i think not totally sure you're gonna play some of the mundo animal side yeah and I believe he does black thread and vibrating garbage. Okay. Not totally sure. You're going to play some of the Mundo animal side. Yeah. Yeah, this is a really... This shell is kind of sparkly. We got a... It's greasy looking.
Starting point is 02:02:37 It's got a faux grease sheen to it. Well, I did just eat a handful of french fries and then... Oh, that's actual grease. Put that right in my deck. That won't do any damage. Did you know that... Here's a handful of french fries. Oh, that's actual grease. Put that right in my deck. That won't do any damage. Here's a little fun noise fact. It might be common knowledge, but did you know that Ron from RRR
Starting point is 02:02:53 at his actual store, when you buy something, he puts a scoop of french fries in the bag to go along with your order? Every time? No, he can't do it every time. When I have mail order from him, he always sends like baseball cards and like candy and stuff like that.
Starting point is 02:03:10 Yeah. So he always has french fries. Yeah. Always. At the store, I guess. He just always has french fries and he puts them in the bag. I can't remember where I heard it. I'm going to Snopes that later.
Starting point is 02:03:22 That can't be true. Every single time. Well, maybe it's not every single time, but he's know he does it i heard a crazy story about rrr that i don't know if i'm allowed to say it on the air i'll say i'll tell you guys why i'm playing this tape that's a teaser maybe the chrome numbers will uh donate and go head on over to tabs out.com and send us some money maybe you'll hear this story that I heard secondhand. That may or may not be interesting at all. This tape here that we're about to play was on the first...
Starting point is 02:03:54 What's it called? What is our feature on AdHoc called? Who Has Tapes Anymore. Who Has Tapes Anymore. The Tabs Out feature on AdHoc.fm. Yeah. Where we round up... Pyle, you did adhoc.fm. Yeah. Where we round up. Pyle, you did it this month. We just
Starting point is 02:04:07 did one where we round up some of our favorite cassettes from the past couple of months. It's a good column. I like the format of it. I like how it's not overdone. It's nice and straight. Who has the time anymore? People are like, I need to find out. We say, who has cassettes anymore?
Starting point is 02:04:23 We say, who's got the time to read these long articles? Yeah. Yeah. Give me some bullet points. Ad hoc.fm. Give me the abstract. Yeah, head on over. Find out, you know, 11, 12 tapes that we enjoyed over the past few months.
Starting point is 02:04:38 Yep. Yep, that's how you'll do that. Yeah, but this, we got, what did we get? We got like a handful of these and this label turmeric magnitudes in the mailbag probably a couple episodes back but everything so far that i've heard from them has been pretty fucking yeah i've been really enjoying this label all right so let's get in uh to this three-way split called primavera and we're going to play a little bit from mundo animal was it yeah Yeah. Mundo Animal on Turmeric Magnitudes. Thank you. The End © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you.. THE END © BF-WATCH TV 2021 © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Mundo Animal.
Starting point is 02:11:50 Three-way split with the other two. I'm pretty sure it's all the same person. Just under different... The other two acts, David, on the B-side are Dark Spring and Black Thread. Yes. That was a lurcher. Yeah. The whole tape is...
Starting point is 02:12:02 Creepy. Yeah. The whole tape is like that. Just really lo-fi and creepy. Into it. I got a jam here. Gonna take it to the other end of the spectrum. We got these two tapes from a label
Starting point is 02:12:16 called Smeltko. Smeltko. Or Smeltkop. Smeltkop Smeltkop It's something like that S-M-E-L-T-K-O-P I'm sure if you just
Starting point is 02:12:29 Say it real animated like that Smeltkop They put out two tapes recently By a project called Bare Bones Lay Low And this project which we're going to play DSR Lines The tape's called Venn Diagram.
Starting point is 02:12:46 I was really taken aback by the shell on this one. It's beautiful. Candy apple red shell going on here. It's making my teeth hurt. It's a beautiful looking shell. But also, I just really pulled out this J. I was listening to this tape earlier today and enjoying it.
Starting point is 02:13:02 But I'm just taking out the J card to really dissect it. It's a silkscreen J card, three panels, all black and white, except for that bright-ass orange spine. That's a nice little detail. That is some early 90s-looking color combo. Yeah, shout-out to whoever designed this J card. The little detail of having it all black and white, except for the neon vibrant as shit spine.
Starting point is 02:13:28 That's like the DVD. That's like the DVD insert for the X-Files season one. Oh, with like... DVD. You're talking about the artworks like... Yeah. All like grid paper with weird like space diagrams. Believe.
Starting point is 02:13:45 Another thing I really like about this, there's a few things I'm really into this label for. They numbered this tape. You see there's a little square on the back that says out of 60. They number it with a black pen on top of black. So you kind of have to
Starting point is 02:14:00 do one of these. You've got to do some work to find out what... Yeah, put the effort in. No one's putting the effort in anymore. Let me see that shell real quick. I'll pitch the whole package while I talk about this next thing. Yeah, and that shell is just one of the best looking shells I've seen in a while. Yeah, it's pretty nice.
Starting point is 02:14:14 It's very slightly translucent red. Yeah, it's not a translucent red and it's not an opaque red. Yeah, it's just somewhere right in the middle. Screwless. Do you think you could send that to prison? I don't know. You can see through it. No, it's got to be completely clear.
Starting point is 02:14:28 Because what if you had some red drugs in there? Prison rules, Dave. Completely clear. There's one other thing. I wish Joe B. was here for this. I texted him to see if he would call me, but he never texted me back. He texted me back right away.
Starting point is 02:14:42 Because you texted him as well? Because he's got his pet peeves about download codes. John Powell, how do you feel about a download code with a tape? I'm not opposed to it. I like it. Do you like... How do you like it to be presented to you? Do they get written, handwritten
Starting point is 02:14:58 somewhere? A little extra piece of paper where it's typed out? I mean, I think... I've gotten it where it's like an extra card in the tape. And honestly, I think that for a tape is a little excessive. Yeah. But, I mean, however they can get it to you. I'm not...
Starting point is 02:15:17 Yeah, I don't care either. Joby really... See, this is why I want Joby to be here. Now, this label does something that I've never seen anyone do because their tapes are all shrink-wrapped. At least these two are. Which I gotta say, we had like five tapes in this mailbag that were shrink-wrapped. I don't know what the influx
Starting point is 02:15:32 of shrink-wrapping is, but now they're shrink-wrapped and there's a little sticker on the front with the download code on it. A sticker on the shrink-wrapping. I don't think I like that. Why? Do you think you're gonna lose it? Oh, it's on the shrink wrap. It's on the shrink wrap.
Starting point is 02:15:46 Okay, that's not bad. That's not bad. If it was on the shell, I'd be real pissed. Oh, yeah, you don't want that, especially that shell right there. Yeah. But this tape, DSR lines, Venn diagram, Smiltkop number 8.
Starting point is 02:15:59 It's a C32. It came out last month. Yeah, I got a question. What's that? Do you think... Whoa. Whoa. First of all, get the got a question. What's that? Do you think... Whoa. Whoa. First of all, get the light on this.
Starting point is 02:16:08 What do you mean? Because the white printing on... Some of the white printing on here is like reflective. On the shell? No, on the... I'm sorry, on the artwork. And also the spine with this neon strip. Is that silk screened?
Starting point is 02:16:22 I think it's also screened, yeah. Turn off the light. Let me see if it's glow-in-the-dark. Let me put my laptop screen down. Nah, it's not glowing. It seems like it would have been. But, like, the ink on here is, like,
Starting point is 02:16:38 reflective. It's, like, shiny. Oh, it is. It's hurting my eyes a little bit. No, I mean, but it's like that on all of the white, actually. that's a little reflective yeah well is that the paper or is that ink is it a black silk screen on white paper i don't think it's glossy paper no it's not glossy paper oh that's what you're saying now yeah oh that's tight and also like look at the um look at the spine up close because like the like the neon is like overlapping on the black so it definitely looks like it was silkscreen bottom line gorgeous looking tape yeah listen to this earlier it's an awesome tape it's uh
Starting point is 02:17:15 actually david edgerin is the guy who does this project he uh runs the hair akadad label one complaint pronouncing incorrectly what's that one complaint well let me finish this uh He runs the hair Akkadad label. One complaint. What's that? One complaint. Well, let me finish this. One complaint. What is it, Dave? Jesus Christ, go ahead.
Starting point is 02:17:36 What do you want to complain about? No, I'm done. Jesus Christ. This window is flabby as fuck. Oh, let me see. I hate when they're like that. You know, Bong. This window is flabby as fuck on this tape. Oh, let me see. I hate when they're like that. Yeah. You know, but the thing is, and like, I don't mean this as like a, you know,
Starting point is 02:17:57 but like, I've noticed this on a few, this is a Euro label. Yeah. I've noticed this on a few Euro tapes. They have this. I just think maybe. That label Bomb Shop sent us a bunch of tapes and their windows were like that. You know what? Just don't touch the window. How much cheaper
Starting point is 02:18:11 do you think it is to have that cheap... I think if this had a good American window on it, I think it would be a little bit better. Give me some good union-made construction. American window. How much money are you saving by using... Nope. If I was doing that, I'd do this voice. How much money are you saving by using... Nope, if I was doing that, I'd do this voice.
Starting point is 02:18:27 How much money are you saving by having a little flimsy window? Probably not much. Not enough. God damn, this shell looks so nice. Alright, well, we're going to play the first track off of the A-side. Dave, can you hand me the case? Nope. I don't know what it's called, because Dave has the case. But here's...
Starting point is 02:18:43 I don't need the case. I have the J card right here. It's called Venn Diagram. That's the name of the tape. Oh, that's the name of the... It's the titular track. The titular track from the DSR Lines cassette Venn Diagram on Schmielke. And here it is.
Starting point is 02:19:01 Whackin'. whacking Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to go to the next place. I'm going to the next place. I'm going to the next place. I'm going to the next place. I'm going to go to the next room. Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. Thank you. dsr lines sound like some dsr pretty little cut i like how it just kind of like warbles out at the end tape's called venn diagram came out last month on schmelt camp It is a beaut. What do you think DSR stands for? DSR. What?
Starting point is 02:26:49 What do you think it stands for? It could stand for a lot of things. Just guess. I don't know why. I couldn't even attempt. Think of all the D words, all the S words, and all the R words,
Starting point is 02:27:03 and put them together. And every combination they can think of. I think that was all modular synth stuff from David Edren, I believe his name was, who runs the Hair Aqadab label. That was really good. Yeah, beautiful looking fucking, beautiful cassette. All around. All around, a gorgeous release.
Starting point is 02:27:23 All right, John Pyle, what do you got in store for us? All right. What are you holding there? What black and white cassette are you holding there? Well, this is a black and white cassette. He's like, fuck you, this one has gray on it. On Hanson Records. It's a Treppin' Rings Rich Rollin' from Sweden.
Starting point is 02:27:38 The title of it is Septentrional. This is an older Hanson one you were saying, right? Yeah. I never heard of this one before. were saying, right? It's, yeah. I never heard of this thing before. It's a couple years old, I think. Yeah. I don't know. I like how Hanson
Starting point is 02:27:51 attempts to keep everything available. Yeah. I mean, not that hard. They're all white cassettes and there's no labels on anything. Yeah, but you gotta, I mean, that's more effort than most people would make.
Starting point is 02:28:01 Oh, yeah. But, I'm very into this project. Actually, the guy who does Withering Crypt does a zine called Regress, and he had an interview with the guy that does this project, and it made me want to check him out. Oh, is that where you heard about it from? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:28:21 It was pretty exciting to get a print zine and read it and be into it and find new things from it. Let me take a look at that cover. Let me see what we got here. What are these two fellas doing? I don't know. It's a mirrored image. You see what they did there is they mirrored that image of these fellas. I can't say this.
Starting point is 02:28:46 I can't say that at all. How did you say it? Treppin' rings ritualin'. He's saying it so quickly that you're just saying it so fast. Treppin' rings ritualin'. I can't understand it. What are you saying? Alright, well let's... Septentrional is the name of the
Starting point is 02:29:01 cassette. I don't know. I practiced that so many times. In the mirror? No, not in the mirror. Just hanging out, laying on my couch. In the mirror, naked, just staring. Come on, Pyle, get it right. Cutting yourself every time you get it wrong.
Starting point is 02:29:15 You seem like the kind of fellow who would cut yourself to punish yourself. Am I right? Thanks. I'm so glad you think I'm a cutter. Just tell me if I'm right. No, you're not right. I'm not a cutter. Dave, what do you think? Is he a cutter? I me if I'm right. No, you're not right. I'm not a cutter.
Starting point is 02:29:25 Dave, what do you think? Is he a cutter? I'm a well-adjusted, normal, liberal person. No, first of all, you're a librarian, so you're not normal. No one who works at a library in 2013 is normal, all right? You're like, you know, imagine if somebody was like, they repaired dial-up internet for people. We use computers at the library. It's not like I'm a steampunk being like,
Starting point is 02:29:45 let me power my engine to retrieve the books. No, microfuge is not a computer, John. All right? Or like the old off-white colored IBMs that are gigantic. That's what you use. We don't have, no. I see you shoveling coal in your cell phone over there. I have a Mac Pro.
Starting point is 02:30:04 With CompuServe on it. He's a Mac Pro. With CompuServe on it. He's a Mac Pro. Shoveling coal into the back. Hey, John, do you work with anyone? Which library do you work at? We're not going to talk about my work. I just want to know, do you work with anyone who is a very normal, unassuming-looking person, but when they take their glasses off
Starting point is 02:30:21 and let their hair down, all of a sudden they're sexy? No. No? Just wondering. You ever come across... Do you just learn about, like, a lot of praise from, like, pornos and after-school specials or something?
Starting point is 02:30:33 Yeah. Buddy comedies? After-school buddy comedy pornos. All right. Well, here's John Pyle's... Shepnering his ritual in. He just said it. On Hanson.
Starting point is 02:30:44 Here it is. I'm going to go ahead and do that. Thank you. I'm not going to let you go. Thank you. I'm sorry. Hey! I'm going to go. Come on. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Don't pinch me. Don't pinch me. Trapper rings. Don't pinch me. Off Hanson Records. That was awesome. And that's an older one too, right? What's the release number on this?
Starting point is 02:36:15 It's what? 217? Yeah. I don't know what he's up to right now, but I just picked up the, I guess he made another pressing of that Dilloway-Lescalete collab. And you said he just made a few more of those skin graft tapes? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:36:34 You picked that up? Yeah, I picked that one up. That one was really, really good. The Drug Addict classic from Mr. Halland. Yeah, man. Always a solid label. You can always stand by Hanson. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:36:44 I really love his Yeah, man. Always a solid label. You can always stand by Hanson. Yeah. I really love his aesthetic, too. Yeah. The way everything's over Xeroxed and blown out, that's like, I don't know. I love the two little things on the spine. Yeah, yeah. It's like one side is a little weird alien guy,
Starting point is 02:37:02 and there's a little web on the other side. Yeah. And I love that he puts the mailing address on the back of the records rather than doing like a website or anything like that. And what are you using the mailing address for anymore? No one's sending him a check. I don't know. You want to send him some demos? I mean, he seems like the kind of dude
Starting point is 02:37:19 who would listen to a demo. I don't think so. He's got a whole thing. He's busy. Dave, if you're not busy, what're right. He's busy, yeah. Dave, if you're not busy, what do you got? I got Theon's. Snap out of it.
Starting point is 02:37:33 It's getting late. I think this is my last one. Alright, well, what do you got? I'm gonna play a track off of this Gold Rush compilation that just came out. On Planet Tapes, right? Gold Rush Fest in Denver, Colorado was like two weeks ago, three weeks ago,
Starting point is 02:37:49 something like that? Yeah. Seemed like a pretty good lineup. Yeah. Should I talk about that lineup a little bit? Yeah, yeah. Who played that? Noveller,
Starting point is 02:37:59 Scammers, Mold People, Hideous Men, Lee Noble, Comfort Link, I can't read that one. M. Sage. Skip it.
Starting point is 02:38:09 Derek Rogers, Pawpaw. Is that Pawpaw? Yeah. Meow, meow. Okay, I see. Giant Claw, Kevin Costner's Suicide Pack featuring Crawford Galeo. I don't know that. Kevin Costner's Suicide Pack is such a bad name. I see that name a lot, but I't know that. Kevin Costner's Suicide Pack.
Starting point is 02:38:25 I see that name a lot, but I've never heard of it. They're not bad. I see that name a lot. Did they do Melvin's remix? The one thing I heard by them was a collaboration thing that I think they did with
Starting point is 02:38:40 Jay Maskis playing guitar. That's big time. That's buzz clip worthy. I think they did with Jay Maskus playing guitar. It was pretty. Oh, really? It was pretty tight. That's big time. Yeah. That's buzz clip worthy. Hand me this tape.
Starting point is 02:38:51 I know M. Sage, who is on here, also did the artwork for this. I really like the artwork for this. It's, you know, a lot of these little, like, almost clip art type things thrown all over here of some shapes, some yellow shapes. It looks good, though. It's a nice like matte paper. Who's matte? The Companion Cassette.
Starting point is 02:39:17 I think they made 200 of these, and you can probably still get a copy. 200. Planted Tapes is who released it. What are we going to play from it? We're going to play a track by Mole People. Mole People. Look like people, taste like moles. Alright, well.
Starting point is 02:39:33 What? What's the South Park thing with the crab people? I don't know. You know. What? You're definitely a dude who watches South Park, Joe. No way. I haven't watched South Park in a long time.
Starting point is 02:39:44 No way. Isn't it crazy to think, how long has South Park been on? Like 15, 20 years. Yeah, I just realized the other day that, like, are the Simpsons on, like, their 25th season? Probably. Past that. I think they just had their 25th anniversary. That's insane.
Starting point is 02:39:59 The Simpsons came on, like, 89 or 90 or something like that. That's insane, right? Yeah. There's people who are, 24 and The Simpsons have been on their entire life. Yep. I was thinking about this one day and like, it got me into another on another level.
Starting point is 02:40:13 How when I started watching The Simpsons I could relate with Bart. But now I'm getting to the point where I can relate with Homer. And it's really weird to think. Alright, well let's play something the mole people track, Bloodletting, off of Side A of the Gold Rush 2013
Starting point is 02:40:33 Companion Cassette Compilation on planted tapes. Here it is. Thank you. Maybe still in action Got too much fun Take it out of hand Take out your love Now Don't you know that your life Is over too late

Starting point is 02:43:22 Olive Your. Sounds like a shampoo. He's got a somewhat recent tape that came out over the summer called Bemused Muses, a C-21 on different lands. We all know and love different lands. All their packaging is like
Starting point is 02:43:40 the stickers, the Norelco case with the stickers wrapped around it. One thing I'm not sure if I like about this yet is there's all these little circle stickers all over the shell. Yeah, I didn't get that. I don't understand why they're there. Now, the one side has like...
Starting point is 02:43:58 It's got the label on the one side like a square. It's kind of like... Or a rectangle with Olive View or Bemuse Muses. But like, it's like scored on here. Like you would rip one part away from the other part. Brian Steinman, who runs this label,
Starting point is 02:44:17 what are you doing? Really dropping the ball, man. No, I'm joking. It looks beautiful. So let's go out here. End it up. Episode number 34. Thanks for listening. John Pyle, thanks for coming down. Thanks for having me.
