Tabs Out. Cinco de Mayo. Oh, it is Cinco de Mayo. That's weird. The fifth episode on Cinco de Mayo.
And the fourth episode was on 420.
Sometimes the stars just align.
Just align.
It's the big moon tonight, too.
Ooh.
Something might happen, guys.
Yeah.
I'm getting pretty excited here.
It's a little cloudy out, though.
I haven't seen it yet.
So what's up?
We're going to play some tapes.
Theme night tonight.
Yeah, theme night.
My other band plays real music.
The theme chosen last time around.
At random.
At random.
I guess, define that as you will.
But I guess we're gonna play some stuff.
And the stuff that we're going to play,
the,
the person or people will somehow be connected to quote unquote,
a band,
a band,
real music,
whatever you want,
whatever you want to songs,
however you want to do that.
However,
however you want to take them,
take that.
Just to mention it was Stacy,
my wife who enough about your wife,
she wanted me to give her a shout out.
I can picture it right now listening to it yeah like right now like live she's listening to it we don't do a lush i assume she was outside that window right there is she not out there
um yeah joe has a car she doesn't have to come
what's that supposed to be is that a dig at me why do you think we do this in my house
i can't get anywhere
who's starting off tonight i'll start it off tonight well we'll do the a lot of these will
probably be able to debate on whether or not they should be played on whether or not the other
you know thing is a real band or not.
But I think I'll start off with a no-brainer.
A no-brainer.
A slam dunk.
I got a Thirst and More tape.
He, of course, is in Tater Tots and the Backbeat Band.
He was on The Simpsons once, too, I think.
He was on The Simpsons one time.
That's when you know you made it.
You definitely made it if you're on The Simpsons. Bono was on The Simpsons one time. That's when you know you made it. You definitely made it if you're on The Simpsons.
Bono was on The Simpsons.
Bono has made it.
Bono, that's when you know you made it.
All right, this is a split with somebody called Gravitons.
Gravitons.
Gravitons, who I'm not really familiar with.
The tape's all vintage Canadian label.
Comes packaged in like a cassette mailer box
That's like heavily
Decorated
Yeah heavily decorated
A lot of screen printing and stenciling going on here
What
There was another tape that we had
The Tiger Hatchery tape
Same type of box
Yeah I like these little patterns
Screen printed patterns
Yeah it's pretty cool
Alright so that's going gonna be the first jam I'm gonna play a
little bit off this tape there's some more tape I believe it has there's an
insert in here see what it says what's it say oh it's like heavily photocopied
I can't really read it I want to say it says 12 string acoustic
regret so I'll go with that play a little bit of this and here it is the
first track there's some more so so Thank you. so so

That was...
Joe, you look like you want to say something.
No, I'm just getting close to the mic.
You're just getting real intimate.
Real close.
Thurston Moore.
Little clip off of his side of the Graviton split on
Vintage. Who's Graviton? I don't know.
It's two people judging by the insert that I don't know
where it got to. Is it Graviton?
Is it Graviton or Gravitron?
There's not an R in there.
There it is. There's a lot R in there. There it is.
There's a lot of heat coming off the back of that tape player.
Actually, there's the dirt there.
This guy here.
That's your computer?
Yeah, it makes a lot of heat.
That's a lot of heat.
So that basically gets the idea right of what we're doing.
Playing some jams, some noise jams from people who are in other real bands.
You get the idea now?
Yeah, we get it.
That was it.
That was it. That was it.
That was the...
What did it say, Joe Kravaton?
Oh, you know what?
I held it in front of my face.
I looked at it, but really didn't process the information.
All right, who's got the next jam they want to go in here?
That's the wrong one.
Okay.
Yeah, I've already put it away, Dave.
Dave's got something.
What's Dave got?
What's Dave got?
I got a couple things over here.
Dave's Corner.
I guess we could do this... we could do this drip house tape.
It came out on Baked.
Dude, Darren Ho.
He's in Raccoon.
Raccoon or whatever.
You're counting that as the real band.
I would say so.
I feel like we could have played a Raccoon
track.
I think they're one of those bands was in uh a hardcore
band called hugs like oh eight years ago no no not that long ago it wasn't early 2000s right
yeah i think they kind of saddle the uh see that's a tough line that's a tough because they do they
do albums that are definitely like you know like noise rock then they do other stuff that's just straight up
noise or close enough
to noise
but either way we're doing this drip house tape
what tape is this
it's uh what's it called
uh
Ramadi and Gaines
it's on Baked
Jesse DeRosa's label
nice
we've talked about Baked a Bunch
we played a Tiger Hatchery tape on Baked
that wasn't on Baked
that was like a self-release tape
we've talked about Baked a Bunch
but we haven't played anything on that label yet
cool label, cool dude
let me check out this artwork a little bit here
I love his style, he's always got that thick stock paper
this is a little too thick for me
no, I like it like that I don't like a j card that's too
thick because i like it to like slide into there like you know i like a good fit i don't want to
i like it nice and snug oj simpson trial all over again when i'm putting my j cards away i like a
nice fit i don't like it's a i like it nice and snug like a snug like it's not going to go anywhere
like i'm going to open it up and I don't have
to worry about losing it. No, I'm fine with it being snug.
It's just, you don't get a good fold. I like a
good crease. See, I'm tempted. I'm creasing
yours right now. I gotta do it. You know what I
don't like is when there's, like, a separate cover
and then a separate little J-card thing.
Yeah, I'm not into that. And the cover falls out.
Yeah, whatever.
In all seriousness,
though, you know what I dislike about j cards i don't like when um
they have like the lines on them to where like the stuff the spine's gonna be like they didn't
know how to make a template and it's got all the lines this this do you think it's there for
guidance or do you think it's like an aesthetic sometimes it looks good sometimes like that label
heavy psych a lot of times like a border like if it's like a like a thick
border yeah like a nice like you know i see what you're saying about this paper though because it
seems once it's folded it's got some heavy fold marks because of the paper so thin yeah you get
those crease marks on the back side yeah you yeah i don't like the cracking i also don't like when
the j cards are too thin and they don't even bother folding them
they just you can tell they slid the tape in and then just slid that in there you know who does
that they like press the tape in to make the crease deception island does that with their
let's not get started on that layout we could talk shit on there because you know chris matic
doesn't listen to this so we could talk shit on that all night but uh i would like to have an
entire episode where we just discuss how you know we should talk shit on that all night but uh i would like to have an entire episode
where we just discuss how you know we should get him on the phone one day and figure out why all
deception island tapes have that weird like three-quarter wraparound thing and then the little
like band-aid thing on not the side that opens but the other side yeah it's it's awful as if it's
like it serves absolutely zero purpose over there.
What are we playing, Drip House?
Drip House.
And Dave, you're saying we're going to play Drip House, this is Darren Ho's project.
Yeah.
And his quote unquote real band is Raccoon. Raccoon.
You're going with Raccoon.
Raccoon.
Our hardest name to Google.
I always forget how many O's I'm doing, where the dashes go.
It'll just say, did you you mean and have it up there
no it never does that
I don't want to discuss what comes up first
here's Drew Bells
what comes up first Thank you. so Thank you. so Thank you. so
so Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. © transcript Emily Beynon Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That was Drip House, Darren Ho's project, off of Ramadi and Gaines, 2009 Side A Ramadi. Just a little sliver that's
well, big slice of that
A side actually.
You know what this artwork reminds me of?
Do you remember that label Young Tapes?
Remember they put out like
or not Young Tapes. What was it?
Maybe it was Young Tapes.
And they all came in those like
kind of oversized plastic cases
with like shapes was like yes
geometrical shit remind they were all black and white covers yeah yeah like a
rail tape he put out yeah I'm gonna earn tape or something like that it reminds
me a lot of that though that's up I don't know why it looks like like
deftones or something what do you see what I'm saying that going in a
different direction all right yeah
fair enough that was good though i like that yeah that was definitely a good take yeah
got a little janky at the end but the solo solo yeah it was all right
it's exactly what it sounded like good nice rendition yeah well all, Joby, what do you got? I have a Dwayne Petrae?
Petrae?
Petrae?
I don't know how to say his last name.
But he was in Camera Obscura.
Camera Obscura, yeah, like a San Diego band, right? Yeah, San Diego band, right?
I think they put stuff on like Gravity or 31G, one of those labels.
GSL, one of those labels, right?
I think so.
In the late 90s.
He evidently also used to be a pro skateboarder.
Yeah, that's what John Pyle was telling me.
John Pyle was saying that he was like a childhood hero of his or something like that.
I just watched a video on my smartphone.
Jack of all trades.
Yeah.
Look at him.
A renaissance man.
Truly a renaissance man.
We don't know how to say the last name, though, do we?
I think it's...
Petre.
Petre.
Petre.
Petri.
Petri.
Petri?
Like a dish?
Yeah.
But that's with an E.
Oh, this is on...
Sonic Meditations.
Yeah, this is awesome.
I like this artwork.
This is cool.
Guy from Expo 70's label.
What's his name?
Justin?
Justin Wright.
Justin Wright. Everything from that label looks really good. Gloss his name? Justin? Justin Wright. Justin Wright. Everything from
that label looks really good. Glossy stuff.
Yeah, I was going to say. I'm going to get fingerprints
all over this. That's alright.
I'll clean those up.
Hear that in the wash.
That's why it's a glossy paper. I wipe right off.
Now everything from this label looks
really good. I like the little
logo with the little meditator
guy. Yeah.
Is that a label or is that
pro-dub? Does that print it on there?
It's printed on there.
Like an all clear tape
with black printing. That looks really good.
Definitely.
So this is from the tape Monolithic Youth.
Got side A
rewound. Side B.
Well, that's a live track
let's play that
do you have any camera obscura stuff
not anymore
I know I used to have some
I think I sold all my records to you in
1999 I think I
then sold all those to Chris
yeah
they made their rounds
they're somewhere else
alright well what are we playing here?
Dwayne Petrae?
Petrae?
Petrae?
Petrae?
Petrae?
Petrae?

Petray?
Pytray?
Pytray just doesn't sound right.
Petray dish.
On Sonic Meditations, Monolithic Youth.
That was a clip of a live track.
Camera Obscura being his band that he was in.
The band.
Yeah.
It's a cool track.
That's the tie up there.
All right.
You want me to go next, sir?
You go.
I got one in my hands here.
Now you go.
All right.
Now you go. I got one in my hands here. Now you go. All right. Now you go.
Got a tape called Forensics Colon Sonic Victimization Unit.
It's by some dudes from Virginia, who's, I guess, the real band was Forensics.
It's Brian Osterholm's band.
Yeah, Brian Oveson's band.
Magic Bullet.
Graham Scala, that guy.
Yeah, he was in a bunch of bands.
I actually talked to him yesterday via Skype for a little, I guess you can call it an interview.
Whatever, we talked a little bit about this tape.
It was in Waveful, right?
It was in Waveful.
We get into that slightly.
But I guess we'll play the interview. Dave,ave you're gonna punch that in in post yeah i
can punch all right play the interview and then we'll go into this tape sonic victimization unit
tape so here is the interview with brent eyestone i never knew how to do the introductions either
like we're here with brent eyestone. Brent, how are you doing today?
I'm doing fantastic.
How are you doing? See, was that the introduction?
It could be.
I mean, but you could also, it depends if you were recording the last five minutes,
because that could be an intro.
Well, I have been recording for about 10 minutes now.
Yeah.
But I got this little feeling in the back of my head that a good 98% of it's probably
going to get cut out.
Yeah.
Yeah. Straight junk. Straight junk. Straight. Exactly. Exactly. All right. in the back of my head that a good 98 of it's probably going to get cut out yeah yeah straight junk straight junk exactly all right well let's talk about this sonic victimization unit tape
okay now is that the name of the like i know it's is it a forensics tape or is it what's the deal
i have no clue what it was is uh that that festival Rock, that they have in Virginia,
had asked us to play as our regular band.
And we got some info on it, and we basically determined that the venue
that was going to be hosting the show, it was called the Metal Showcase,
and it was being held in, I think the gym's name was Godwin Gym,
and it was miles from where the rest of the shows were and it's
like is it the gym that holds like it's like a 20 000 person capacity and 20 people show up that gym
it's it probably feels that way but it's yeah it's um it's this gym that uh i think is tied
to the middle school or something like that so it's's like, you know, if you think about a pep rally, it's probably about that kind of capacity.
And, you know, just looking at, like, the map
and just kind of knowing,
just seeing the pattern that Mack Rock was on at that point
where it was just diminishing returns more and more every year
and less people attending and less enthusiasm
and less promotion and all that,
we just kind of said, well, you this probably wouldn't would be completely demoralizing if we did it as uh as
our regular band but if we topsy-turvy that motherfucker take our shirts off and just you
know make a bunch of black noise then maybe we'd win we usually saw it as almost like an adversarial challenge and i was
just like well we'd like to book you and that's being like well we would like to take that show
and we but we need to win you know like we can't we can't you know play in front of 20 people and
feel bad about it you know we want to play in front of 20 people and feel good about it so we decided that for one night only um the band would be myself and graham who was playing guitar in the
band at the time and uh and then this guy daniel bachman who was interning um for me at the at the
label he was just like this you know at the time he was in high school or just getting out of high
school and really getting into electronics and just uh you
know all kinds of recreational things that would lend itself toward uh agreeing to get in front of
20 people in a massive gym yeah take your shirt off light a bunch of candles and uh make ungodly
noise so it wasn't even like the like a full forensics crew it was like
just you and graham were the only forensics dudes and then there was yeah then this guy daniel who
was just you know helping me out with the label at the time and you know it was just kind of like
one of the things like well we got this spot we don't necessarily want to fill it with the band
but we want to fill it with something that we would enjoy.
Something that was self-indulgent and something that would hopefully send those 20 people out of the room.
Did those 20 people go out of their room right away?
They kind of just hung out on the periphery.
Because basically you were playing to all the other bands, all these metal bands. That band Black Tusk from Savannah hung out the whole time, to their credit.
I'm trying to think think who else played that i know in inner arma this richmond band played it it was just really if if
you didn't go into it thinking it was going to be uncomfortable and you know and that you need to
do something about it then you had a bad night which i know that the black tusk guys did because i mean i've got these
pictures of them playing on this stage in this massive room and you know like for anybody to
stand on the floor and watch them would have been embarrassing so we all just kind of got on the
stage and surrounded them so it just felt like a little tiny room show but meanwhile there's this you know 300 yard expanse of uh of just wood and bleachers
so yeah it was man it was one of those things where like the tape was kind of
the when we were practicing for it yeah because we were like well we don't know what we're gonna
do we might as well just get some electronics in here some circuit bent stuff and just see uh see what kind of stuff we can create with it so we kind of like you know have
a rough blueprint of what we're going to do when we do it live oh so you actually like prepared for
this kind of this conquest you didn't just like it wasn't like you showed up and you're like uh
we might no yeah it's like we it's like we knew i mean it's just one of those things where you
just macrock had been going on for so long
and kind of had such a pattern of decline
that you just knew what you were getting into.
You just knew it was going to be shitty.
Yeah, you knew it was going to be god-awful.
You know, there was absolutely no way
that there was going to be more than 50 people in that room,
even for the headliner, you know?
So it was just like,
all right, well then,
let's figure out a way to do this
and have fun with it
in a way that wouldn't make you just completely demoralized about your band
did you go into like did you record this knowing you were going to put it out or was kind of just
like you recorded the tapes were made for the show you know because oh this isn't like this
isn't the performance this is like for the show this is recorded in my house
it was like graham came up and he brought like he had he had amassed like quite a bit of uh
of just weird instruments and and things that made noises that you know in a non-conventional way and
we just decided to just that that you know that that would be what we would play you know just
through our normal amps you know so it could be loud.
And then I had just purchased a PA,
so I was like, all right,
we'll run stuff through the amps and the PA,
and we'll just basically kind of...
I think at the time,
that Sun stage schematic,
where it's just like it shows their back line,
things that circulating around at the time,
I was just like, let's just do something that has that kind of heft you know that's just a ton of speakers and then
just like you know then we'll just pump you know all these these strange circuit bent keyboards and
you know just completely jury-rigged instruments through them and see what we can create and
you know hope it'll be nice and dark and um so yeah like we just had a
run through over over at the house and the tape what is that squeaking oh that's the dog chewing
on uh a tennis ball it's very distracting it's my nose we may need to start we may need to start
this entire thing over you know what i'll have somebody take out the squeaking. I have a squeak eliminator on this.
Is it a squeak gate?
Well, I moonlight as a clown.
Actually,
you kidnapped a clown tonight
and he's just trying to get out right now.
So anyways, I'm choking out this
clown. He's squirming in his nose.
Is that a euphemism or are you
literally...
It's a little bit of euphemism. It's a little bit of euphemism.
It's a little bit of innuendo.
It's a little column A, a little column B.
60% euphemism, 60% innuendo.
At least 24%.
I also wanted to ask you about,
since the theme of this episode is
my other band plays real music uh you also have
well are you still doing augra are you still doing that project or i haven't heard anything
from yeah doing uh i've been like doing like really weird work for hire type things for that
where it's like it's you make music but it's not for a record it's just like for like a
like a tv show or like a little
commercial or something like that i'll just make you know like a 30 second piece that's not even
a full song that just fits a mood that somebody wants i've been kind of getting distracted
with that have you done anything like interesting like or is it just like mentos commercials or
something there's like i mean there's like this Vans snowboarding commercial.
It'd be like probably the highest profile one.
But then there'll just be like little mood pieces for,
this is funny actually, for Fox News.
I've taken paychecks from Rupert Murdoch.
What have you done for Fox News?
Just like little dumb segs that they want, you know,
because like I know somebody over there that works in the, that clears and they just know that you know i'll do it so so they just say
hey you know we're doing this piece we need 20 seconds that you know pensive um you know brooding
whatever you just need something to make like shepherd smith look manly yeah or just whatever
you know just like hey we're interviewing victoria jackson and we want to we
want her to sound stupid which they and they need you for that they need they need to bring in
outside help to make that happen they need they need it's it's like 60 enhancement 64 percent
um just goading and taunting i guess i don't know but uh so yeah I keep meaning to sit down and actually write a new
thing for for Agra but I mean there's just we've been you know Graham ever since I met him we've
just been doing a bunch of stuff together in different capacities so instead of a lot of
solo stuff I've been doing a lot of collaborative stuff with him and just tons of different projects so augra being your
non-real music stuff and then you're pretty knee-deep in you know the the old hardcore scene
with what was way full of your first band or was there anything before yeah that was that was the
first thing it was like one of those things where shelby and jason from frodis were doing this thing
called man cake and uh we were hanging out with those guys a lot.
And they said, you should do a band.
Because we need another band in this breakfast violence movement.
And I had this old guitar that I never actually learned to play.
And kind of just figured, why not use this band to try to learn how to play a guitar?
Yeah.
So yeah, that was the first thing.
Then we did
corn on macabre which was fun because that was after cory had left page 99 and he wanted to do
a new thing and billups had left darkest hour and he wanted to do a new thing and originally he
wanted it to be a um like a grindcore opera and uh and he just wanted to call it corn on macabre but then um then we realized how hard
it would be to fill an opera with grindcore songs because they're they're so short and i was like
all right that that's a song oh that was only 24 seconds you know that doesn't really almost there
almost there we're so close so close and what about the grim he's uh because he has got like a solo ambient type
project right yeah yeah he does this thing called von to um and again it's it's one of those things
where um when we met each other you know like augur was was pretty busy and his solo thing
von to was pretty busy but once we actually met it was kind of one of those things where
you know anytime i sit down to do music i'd rather do it with him than you know just kind of hang out on my own just as um i don't know i
just it's just you know you know how it is like you just play music with somebody or make sounds
with somebody and if it goes well you're just more apt to want to just keep doing that instead of
you know just hanging out by yourself yeah yeah no i. No, I hear that. So, I mean, there's a bunch of stuff we haven't even put out yet,
you know, with other friends.
We've just been recording pretty much nonstop.
It would be, you know, quote-unquote real bands
and or, you know, just one-off projects.
We were talking the other day.
We were at practice for our quote-unquote real band,
but then we started another band within that band
because one of the guys wasn't there.
It's just one of those things, too,
where the older we get, the looser we get with everything.
He's like, yeah, there's this band that wanted a show on June 8th.
We should do a band for that show.
I'm like, yeah, sure.

He's got a good voice.
He's got a good speaking voice.
Rich.
Yeah.
Rich like a cello.
Like a cello.
Like a fine-tuned stringed instrument.
Awfully tall.
Very chiseled, too.
It's like a temple.
Right for his body.
We were just talking about his face.
I like to go below the neck
and keep it interesting.
Dave, what do you got?
It's my turn?
I think I was going to play... Dave's Corner. and keep it interesting. All right, Dave, what do you got? Oh, it's my turn? Might as well be.
I think I was going to play...
Dave's Corner.
There's a jingle for it now.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
I think I'm going to whip out this little treasure here.
What's he got?
I can't see behind the top.
Oh, no, it's like knitted.
Oh, yeah, that's the stun box set.
Yeah, stun box set. There's a tape on here the Stunbox set. Yeah, Stunbox set.
There's a tape on here that I wanted to play.
If you can get it out.
You know, you can wear that as a hat when you're done.
It's a Eureka tape.
Eureka is William Giacci, or Giacci.
He plays in Magic Lantern.
Giacci. Petrae. Giacci. He plays in Magic Lantern. Giacci.
Giacci.
You're picking another one that is
on the line.
I don't know if that's right on the line.
Angry letters.
That's like psych rock. There's riffs.
There's riffs.
Dave, do me a favor and yell a little bit louder
because my kid's still sleeping.
If you can do that.
Turn my headphones up.
This is the stunned
Cornerstones?
Something Stones. Foundation Stones.
How many tapes are in that box?
Six.
I've never seen a case like this before either.
Yeah, it's really nice. It's all stuff that
Sun put out in the past.
Stuff that was on CD-R and stuff, right? Yeah, I don't know if it's all stuff that sun put out in the past like stuff that was like
on cdr and stuff right yeah i don't know if it's all cdr but some of it like is like the stun bonus
cdrs yeah i love like the uh it's got a little it's got two tapes that you know it's like it's
like a vinyl box but it's all clear and you open it up and it's got the two tapes all the way to
the left i've never seen a case like that before. No, and it all comes
in that like
hand knit it
or not knit it, what is that, crochet? See, I can take
or leave that. Actually, I could
leave that. I would, if I owned that, I'd
throw that away. You gotta appreciate
I wouldn't throw it away.
They made a hundred, she made
a hundred of these.
That'd be something my dog would play with.
Your old ass dog's not playing with any of these.
I like it.
I'm sure Mike has picked his to pieces.
All mine's like bits now because I have a problem with them.
I'm going to be gears to bits right now.
I'm feeling it between my fingers.
No, this is intense.
So what are you saying?
What is the real band here?
I missed it.
Magic Lantern. William. Yeah, I know. William, Ghiacci or G saying? What is the real band here? I missed it. Magic Lantern.
Magic Lantern.
Yeah, I know.
William, Giacci, or Giacci.
You're really telling the lines tonight, Dave.
No, I mean, they're not noise, but they are...
You're spitting in the face of this theme.
Like you said, they're a psych rock band.
Yeah, they're like a psychedelic rock band.
It counts.
It counts.
And a little bit of info, Magic Lantern, that's Phil French, who runs Stunned, and Cameron
Stallone, who is, you know, Son of Ra.
Is that Sylvester Stallone's kid?
What?
No, this is Stallone's.
Or Stallone's, plural, or Stallone's.
Oh, okay.
We can't pronounce anybody's name.
Petrie?
Petrie?
Petrie. This is a nice looking box
put your phone on silent
it was it was vibrating
very unprofessional
what was I going to say
you guys threw me all off
it was us not that phone
alright regroup, regroup.
Right then, put in like a...
sound.
I think you just did.
That was pretty good.
That's pretty good.
Foley work?
Is it a foley?
I don't know what you're talking about right now.
You know, like back in the day when they had to do the sound effects,
isn't that called foley?
Oh, like a foley room?
Like Dave Foley?
From news radio. Like what we're doing it all comes back together oh all right bill hartman's wife killed him you know way to bring that up yeah that's exactly
let's just let's just take this down yeah way to ruin this down a notch
all right so all right so anyway So anyway, this is a cut.
Did she kill herself?
She did?
No, Phil Collins killed her.
Like, did he invite her to a concert and then he played this song?
And he sang it directly to her?
Directly to her and put the spotlight on her?
That's the urban myth of that song, right?
Wikipedia that, yeah.
Murder, suicide.
Now I can't for some reason
blank it on the song.
It's, um...
Isn't it?
Yeah.
In the air tonight?
Is it in the air?
Yeah, that's what it is.
It's a Dwayne Petrae song.
Petrae?
Petrae?
All right, well, let's play this track from Eureka.
Is that what we're playing here today?
Yeah, it's Eureka.
This was originally a stun bonus that came out in 2009.
It got re-released on this box set.
And that CD-R was called Big Breath.
And we're going to play, I think, a couple cuts
because there's a couple short ones that go together.
And it's the second and third track.
And I'll get back to you on those titles.
Because I don't know.
Here's Eureka.
We found it. Thank you. so Thank you. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right.
That was Welcome Back.
That was Welcome Back?
I thought that was Eureka.
It was.
You are correct, sir.
That was Eureka off of his Big Breath,
originally stun bonus,
but on the
Foundation Stones box set.
Intense box set.
Yeah, that was two cuts.
Lost in the Funhouse
and Ether, I think.
They kind of run together on the tape.
But I think those are
the two titles.
Joby, what do you got?
I have a tape that you put out.
Bacteria Cult. Yes. titles joe b what do you got i have a tape that you put out okay very material yes um who christage is in this band or this group christage being of spaz and uh no use for a name that pop
i don't know if he was like always in the band but he definitely was in it for like
something they were like a fat record they were a fat records band he's my favorite uh vocalist in spaz i found out when i
was talking to mike earlier he's got the he's the let's fucking go that guy right yeah
yeah i was saying that like a little angry dwarf that i think spaz were a crazy band
did you see that when they played on that tour with uh where they went on tour with his heroes
gone or did they yeah i didn't i didn't see that show yeah it was at stalag it was spaz and his
heroes going in philadelphia in philadelphia um they were a weird band i was uh saying to dave
earlier we were talking about this that i really wish christage and eric wood would do a vocals only release oh that would be intense yeah and like don't they shouldn't
listen to each other they should each just record vocals and then layer them over top of each other
vocals with the yeah oh it'd be so good so what do you have it's back to your call this is also um
a few other people are in this uh group but i i don't know who they are jay howard jay
howard he's in uh like i think he has like a black metal project too doesn't he k fetus but that can't
be his real last name no that's it that's it yes oh um he's nancy fetus's son from the uh yeah the
the kentucky fetuses. Fetus hardware.
And E-Nervo.
Now that's not real.
No.
None of these are real except for Chris Dodge and Jay Howard.
Okay.
So we're going to play... This is off of the...
A Snake on the Ledge of the Burning Building tape.
That was released...
What, like two years ago?
Still holding up.
Playing this just because we couldn't find the other bacterial tapes.
No, the real reason is because I forgot my other tape that I was going to bring.
You forgot a lot of tapes.
Joby did not bring a lot of his tapes.
You were going to bring a Zach Davis tape.
Yes.
Zach Davis.
You wanted to count lamb's bread as his real name.
I would not count.
I mean, he was in Force Fed Glass and Hassan Isaba.
And then probably some other stuff when we're in there.
What else did you forget?
You had something else you wanted to bring.
I had another one. There's a lot of stuff that I wanted to play, but I don't have anything on tape.
Like Jason Krumer, and he was in Face Down and Shit.
And what else was there? I had a list of some stuff you had a wish list yeah a long list of stuff that we wanted but
a lot of the stuff i don't have on tape or i don't know just on vinyl yeah yeah exactly
see i want i think i kind of feel like you know like we started out with you know thirst and more
and sonic youth i kind of feel like that's like the biggest.
Sonic.
Oh, yeah.
What am I talking about?
He wasn't in Sonic Youth.
No, he was in Sonic Youth.
We're counting the real badass Tater Tots.
Yeah.
What were you going to say, Dave?
What were you going to say?
I don't know.
I had a lot of beer.
I don't know what I'm talking about now.
I can.
Joe, I'm telling you, it's becoming a problem.
It is becoming a problem.
No, I was going to say, I wish there was more choices that we had where there was really
clear distinctions.
Yeah, that would have been nice.
Really left field noise and then straight down the pike.
Something like if Jay Giles had like a noise project
adult contemporary I want like adult contemporary
well that's what you were talking about earlier
the guy from the pogues
Spider Stacey does noise
with uh Dylan
Petrae?
Petrae?
Noikis
Noikis right?
I like a good Noiki
I like a spinach Noiki. I like a Spanish Noiki.
Let's not get...
Let's not get sidetracked.
Oh, right.
All right.
So Bacteria Occult is the tape.
Spaz and No Use for a Name is the real band.
And here is something off of that. I'm sorry. so
uh I don't know. so so so

so Thank you. Thank you. I'm not sure what I'm doing here. That was Bacteria Cult Tape on 905.
Chris Dodge, Spaz.
And Kevin Fetus.
He's in Fetus Eaters.
Obviously.
Obviously.
I actually have no clue who that is.
Yeah, I don't know who Fetus Eaters is.
Dave?
Why are you...
You want me to chime in?
I don't know who that is.
Dave talked out weeks ago
alright let's go on to the next game here
I got a tape by Weirding Module
which is
what's his name? Michael something
I want to say Michael Stoutman
that's probably not right
but a dude who's also
in a band
called Awesome Color
who I believe had a...
I have an LP of theirs.
I think it's on Ecstatic Peace.
I believe it's on Ecstatic Peace as well.
They played Delaware.
They did?
Three or four years ago, yeah.
They played a show that no one was at.
Where was that at?
Mojo 13.
Oh, okay.
But they were pretty...
It was a pretty sick show.
Weirdy Module is a pretty intense project.
Very focused synthesizer stuff.
Yeah, it's really good shit.
I like the name because it's from Dune.
Yeah, you like a good Dune reference.
It's a tape called Sewer System on faux pas.
Faux pas number 23.
Joe B. making the faux pas hand motion. Is that 23. Joe would be making the faux pas hand motion.
Is that what that was?
That was a faux pas hand motion.
Do you know what a faux pas is?
I think you're doing a poo-poo.
That's what I was doing.
There's a slight variation.
It's the twist of the wrist.
All right.
So let's play this.
I'm going to play a little bit off of Weirding Module, Sewer System. © B Emily Beynon Thank you. © transcriptF-WATCH TV 2021 Thank you. © B Emily Beynon All right.
That was a cut off the weirding module sewer system tape on faux pas.
It's a C34.
Might still be available somewhere.
Michael Troutman. Michael Troutman. We looked looked up his real name it's not Stoutman or Porter
you know when that came out?
do I know?
no I don't but um
I feel like I got it somewhat recently
maybe within this year
if I'm remembering that right
uh and yeah his
real band that he's either in or wasn't
I'm not sure of the status on Awesome Color
but
pretty awesome band
and he was also in
Violent Ramp as well
old project
with Dillaway and somebody else
wait is the dude
from
Pete Larson was he in Violent Ramp
was that the other guy was that the third guy I'm not sure Wait, is the dude from Pete Larson, was he in Violent Ramp?
Was that the other guy?
Was that the third guy?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure either.
Let's see who it is.
Come back from a break.
I don't know.
Maybe we'll... We're not coming back from a break because...
Oh, this is the last thing.
David is going to take us out.
What do you got, Dave?
He's going to end theme night here.
Dave, what are you going to take us out with?
I was going to play... the way it's olsen
uh dillaway and troutman every time or was it ever different i don't know you don't know do you i
don't know i just discogged it i feel like um who was couch couch yeah what is a couch no but yeah
like when we're getting like like what's the difference between a couch and a love seat?
We'll do this later.
Well,
I mean to ask you
about furniture all day.
We'll get into that later.
Dave,
what are you,
what are you,
what are you ending
theme night with?
I'm going to do a
skin graph cut
off of a split
with Weather.
Came out on
Sound Design Recording.
David Russell's label.
We played something, I think, on the inaugural podcast.
Yeah, the first track we played that Robert Turman track.
Upside Down Spine label.
Are they all like that?
They're all like that.
They're all like that.
Let's not get started.
You know what?
I wouldn't change it, though.
If he started doing it right.
At this point, yeah, you got to.
There must be a reason why he does it.
You just, you know...
There's a method to the madness.
He doesn't care about it as much as you do.
I do always like the artwork and the paper and everything.
Joe, you weren't here for the first episode.
We already discussed the artwork.
Oh, you covered that?
Yeah, so...
You know, show up on time.
That gray, fibrous paper there
yeah yeah that's awesome it's nice um so wyatt hallen was in apartment 213
yeah who i remember i had some really uh shitty split seven inches from when i was like
in high school dommer yeah like uh, like... Benum. Potato Justice.
Potato Justice. I still think...
I actually don't know
if any of those bands
had a split with Apartment.
No, Dahmer did.
Dahmer did.
They did have a split with Apartment.
Dahmer definitely did.
And so did Benum.
Oh, Dahmer was the worst.
I remember liking Benum.
What about No Less?
Did they have a split with No Less?
I don't know.
But I think for a while...
They had to have been
on a Cry Now, Cry Later.
Oh, yeah. um what was that like
those are seven not the blurred comps but there was no the blur comforts of us um there was some
comp called like mandatory marathon were they on that it was like charles bronson and it's always
captain captain casualties it is always charles bronson Bronson. I think I had something
that somebody left at my house.
I think it was the relapse of
Gorefork Nosebleed
in apartment 213 split.
Big names in the
Power of Islands grind course.
I was really surprised to see that that band
still plays shows and stuff.
Which is crazy. Which kind of blows my mind.
But you know, so does the stones you know start me up still gets the people gets the asses in the seat much
slower tempo though all right well uh let's end this theme night here with uh a track from
wyatt hallen's project Skin Graft. It's called
Break and Enter, which is
fucking disgusting. Good night.
You don't know when they're
listening to this. Break and Enter.
Could be good morning. Good morning.
Tab's out. Why is it disgusting?
Go to bed. You've been up all night.
