![]() Good morning, Tony, and hello, all! I am ready for LOVE, PAIN AND THE TAPE. |
![]() |
![]() U R O K! |
![]() |
![]() Heya, James and DCE! |
![]() |
![]() Okee Dokee Tony, made it through the memorial mayhem. I can deal with a little pain. |
![]() |
![]() Hair of the PAIN that bit me! (I'd better get a shot for that. Rabies or whiskey?) |
![]() |
![]() @Carmichael I had no idea Godzilla was so sensitive to sunlight. |
![]() |
![]() Hola, Carmichael! |
![]() |
![]() You know what is said 'No pain, no grain' Two fingers of red eye, DJ and a crocodile sandwich. Make it snappy. |
![]() |
![]() Greets, Fleep! |
![]() |
![]() ... and Brian! |

![]() Fleep, pale skin is a sign of royalty in Japan. Even for city-smashing, bus-throwing mutants. |

Morning (from where I sit), all. Jon Rose is one of the artists featured in a movie by a buddy of mine, The Reach of Resonance: http://www.reachofresonance.com/ Well worth a viewing. | |
![]() |
![]() So, I should say that the "Bad Alchemy" comps are all over the place style-wise, from improv/noise to off-kilter pop. |
![]() |
![]() Interesting, Dean! I'll take a look post-show. (Greets. too.) |

![]() @Tony Greetings from 964 miles southwards, drive time in current traffic: 14 h 49 min. |
![]() |
![]() Today's show is the debut of my brand new cassette deck. Has pitch control, tho I don't expect to be using that today. |
![]() |
![]() We're fixing US 50, Fleep. Add another 2 1/2 hours. |

Dean:
Other featured artists: Miya Masaoki (on cockroaches and bees), John Luther Adams (music generated from the Arctic Circle), and Bob Ostertag (music and activism). | |

![]() @ Dean: Is there footage of Jon Rose playing barbed wire fence? |
![]() |
![]() Günter Müller is also in the group on now (Nachtluft) |
Tue. 5/27/14 12:21pm
Dean:
Tony, yes! It is the core theme of the Rose portion. Steve Elkins, the filmmaker, devotes a lot of time to Jon Rose. Ah, I have a Nachtluft CD. Forgot it was Muller. | |
![]() |
![]() Btw, the tape on now is the purplish one on the right. |

Brueghel LeMoche:
Hola amigos! Congrats for your new cassette deck Tony! You could maybe consider a reel to reel for an special edition of tape hiss in the future! | |
![]() |
![]() Hola, Brueghel! And then there's 8-track hiss ... and clunk. |

A cassette deck salvaged from former workplace sat around here quite a while before I tried, with great hope, to play something. But the Aiwa AD-6550 (made 1977-1981)...she won't move the tape. So sAD. |

Brueghel LeMoche:
This Loch Ness Monster song is gorgeous. There's a revival of that synth sound going on these days, no? | |
![]() |
![]() Heya still b/p! I weep for yer fallen Aiwa. |
![]() |
![]() @ Brueghel: Yep, the kids can't get enough of those drums machines and analog synths. |
Tue. 5/27/14 12:55pm
Brueghel LeMoche:
those 80's synth are to music what art-deco is to architecture | |

![]() I believe the belts are the weakest link, they dry up and snap. Same with old VCRs. I have a terrific cassette boom box that no longer works but I can hear the motor running just fine. |
![]() |
![]() Dug the heck out of vol. 7. All over the place is basically where my mind's been all day, so this has matched up nicely. |
![]() |
![]() In case anyone was confused: the H.N.A.S. track that ended the last tape is only 7 second long. |
![]() |
![]() Glad to hear it, James! |
![]() |
![]() The cassette on now is the green one, with the lovely Deborah Jaffe (of Master/Slave Relationship) on the cover. |

Brueghel LeMoche:
I think they were sampling Judy Ongg on that song, could be? | |
![]() |
![]() Don't know Ms. Ong! |
![]() |
![]() er, Ongg... |

Brueghel LeMoche:
I only have one lovely tune of her "Miserarete" taken from a cassette! pizzicato5 compilation. I think it was her on that patchinco song | |
![]() |
![]() Damn you, pre/post echo. |
![]() |
![]() As is no doubt glaringly obvious by now, everything on this side of the cassette is Japanese. The other side is from all over. |
![]() |
![]() Argh!! I missed Kiyohiko Semba! |
![]() |
![]() Hey ho, maestroso! |
![]() |
![]() And no archives... what was the song, DJ Tony? |
![]() |
![]() Nothing I recognized from elsewhere -- and no title is given. |

Dean:
I'm not hearing "hibernation." I'm hearing, "Hi! Turkey sh*t." | |
![]() |
![]() Maybe that's the secret subliminal message. |
![]() |
![]() Turn me on, turkey sh*t! Turn me on, turkey sh*t! Turn me on, turkey sh*t! (etc.) |

Even Judas Priest had the courtesy to backmask. | |

Brueghel LeMoche:
wow this limpe fuchs thing rocks! btw the japanese part just reminded me a scene of the movie i saw yesterday night, kurosawa's "the bodyguard". where a group of geishas are playing an exotica piece, really fast and rockin' . Actually the soundtrack of that movie is really nice | |
![]() |
![]() [splutters to wakefulness in the corner] ....whuh? Turkey sh*t? |
![]() |
![]() Yay! Cranioclast! Boo, missed that Hal McGee piece... |
![]() |
![]() Greets, T*rn*p! |
![]() |
![]() Oddly, I saw Master/Slave Relationship do a show in a bar sometime in the '90s. |
Tue. 5/27/14 1:48pm
Dean:
The bar...was it Hegel's Spirits? | |

![]() this is a great show, Tony! Sadly, in new work environment, so listening to radio shows will be challenging, going forward. |
![]() |
![]() er, I meant to say this cassette came out in 1988, not 1989. |
![]() |
![]() ....and haven't heard this one since about 1991. Pitched much of my tape collection in a move. So glad SOMEONE ON EARTH still has these things. |
![]() |
![]() Hey Rich, Sorry to hear about your new audio-hostile environment. Maybe you can get wireless headphones that look exactly like ears? |

I liked that. And backwards, the outfit is "a mini matinu," So...you know. |
![]() |
![]() Cassette on now is "Love, Pain and the (Whole Damn Thing)" |
![]() |
![]() Don't think I've actually listened to the Kalahari Surfers before. Nice. |
![]() |
![]() OK, back from a brainless, destructive meeting. This music shall cure me, though. |
![]() |
![]() Hey, NGH! They are great, fer sure. |
![]() |
![]() and a hi ho hello to Carmichael as well.... |
![]() |
![]() A couple of bands here that were just names to me previously. Very cool. |
![]() |
![]() Bad Alchemy = good listening. Hiya, brother Tony and fellow GTDRers. |
![]() |
![]() Hey Chris! Every band/artist on these tapes has full albums as well. |
![]() |
![]() Hiya, Jeff G! By the by, the name "Bad Alchemy" is taken from a Slapp Happy/ Henry Cow song. |

Too bad Holly didn't sit on the windowsill playing it this way. |
![]() |
![]() My god, that was the best Jad Fair song i've ever heard.... |
![]() |
![]() Greets, cklequ!! |
![]() |
![]() Yeah, that was an awesome Jad Fair track. |
![]() |
![]() Thinking back, I guess what I saw in a bar was a hybrid of Dog as Master and Master/Slave Relationship, as it was the duo of Hal McGee and Debbie Jaffe. |
![]() |
![]() The Only a Mother track just now is only 22 seconds long |
![]() |
![]() Been lurking and working. Thanks for a great Hiss, Tony! |
![]() |
![]() Doug as Master! I hail thee! |
![]() |
![]() I'll have what she's having. |
![]() |
![]() This Asano/Rax Karal is the tops! Thanks Tony for a great show! |
![]() |
![]() Yer welcome, NGH. |
![]() |
![]() This is zee last track of the tape.... |
![]() |
![]() Thanks, Tony, for sharing these Bad Alchemy tapes! Blows my mind that I could've been listening to these back in the late 80s instead of the crap I was hearing on the radio! |
![]() |
![]() Outstanding tape mining, Tony. Thanks for the tour of Bad Alchemy. |
![]() |
![]() Thanks, Jeff! And thanks, all, for showing up. See you next week! |
