Hello, all! Can anyone ID today's mystery LP-under-the-cassettes? If you're familiar with it, it should be very easy to recognize.

The allusion to "Hail to the Thief" is a good one, I'd say...

I can't hear the open of "Hail to the Chief" without going into the "Mediocre Presidents" song from the Presidents' Day/Valentine's Day "Simpsons" ep.

Hi Tony and fellow Hissers! I feel like I've seen that tape in the upper right corner before. Or at least that image.
Avatar ♥ 12:43pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey, Bob! That's Zoogz Rift. There is an LP version of that tape, on SST -- but the track list is substantially different.

Ahh, that must be it. I was in the LA area in the 80s.

Apparently, Zoogz Rift worked as a pro wrestler for a while, until he was injured badly.

I vaguely recall reading about ZR in Trouser Press or Back Door Man.

Music critic Richard Gehr featured him in the Dec. 1, 1985, issue of SPIN, including a color photo. Dude was large. A Jan. 23, 1988, review in Billboard of Water II: At Safe Distance reads:

Self-consciously obnoxious L.A.-based songwriter/composer dips heavily into the Zappa/Captain Beefheart bag instrumentally but maintains his own distinctively abrasive lyrical persona. Obscenity-laced vocals aren't airworthy, but instrumental tracks (including a cover of "Walk Don't Run"!) deserve alternative attention.

Richard Meltzer used to preserve dead birds in jars filled with Jello. I hired him to speak at my undergraduate college. He brought some jars and a turntable, on which he played Ornette Coleman when he had to use the restroom.

(or did you come on in the 90s?)

I joined the team in 1990, so, no, it wasn't me Zoogzing it up back then.

It's actually tough to play much Zoogz Rift on the station proper/main stream, what with FCC language restrictions and all.

I wish. The former coworker I'm doing yardwork with sometimes burns a BIG leaf pile -- a bonnie great bonfire. But this time we'll pile the winter's crop of downed branches to be hauled awayyyyy.

Tony @2.01 i missed all of side a and the beginning of b but the title "buffy & jody" is familiar.
also, i recall quite a lot of fcc-prohibited phrases coming through my speakers in the 80s! especially Paul Cavenaugh's show and the Vanilla Bean's.

Enjoying the dissonance, it is in concert with the weather outside my estuary-facing livingroom window: snow driven by a nor-nor-easter of 60Kmh.

Fun show today, Tony~ thanksagain.
Avatar ♥ 2:56pm
Tony Coulter:

Well, I guess we won't make it to the end of the tape -- will have to drop the final track, after this one. Sorry!

The final track is not actually by James Hill, btw. It's a piece someone else sent him, which is tacked on at the very end of side B, after a spoken intro. He does that on both tapes of his I have.

Anyway, thanks for loaning me your ears, everybody. Hope to see you next week!
