Listener comments!
	🥁 12:02pm Yvang: Hello Compact Cassette Gang!
	12:02pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Yvang!
	🥁 12:05pm Yvang: Nice color harmony on the covers and the three artworks kind of tell a story.
	12:09pm Tony Coulter: I'm trying to piece the story together in my mind. Was the little girl saved in the end?
	12:11pm coelacanth∅: greetings greetings greetings Tony and hissters
	12:12pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Coel!
	12:13pm Cmurtha: What an odd little Orientalist image. Hello everyone!
	12:13pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Cmurtha! I imagine that image was taken from a children's book.
	🥁 12:15pm Yvang: Or an Isis propaganda poster...
	🥁 12:17pm David (in London): Afternoon groovers. Hi Tony.
	🥁 12:17pm Yvang: The cat will rescue us all in the end.
	12:19pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, David!
	🥁 12:20pm WR: My guess is that the sword and the damsel drawing was made as a political illustration.
	🥁 12:22pm WR: Purpose being to incite or justify some colonial conflict.
	12:23pm KimSorise: Hello Tony and All - Enjoying this jangle during a post-lunch study hall.
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: Hey, hey, WR and Kim!
	🥁 12:24pm Yvang: @WR :Yes could be from Puck the satirical magazine from the end of the XIX...
	12:26pm Tony Coulter: There's a bit of R. Stevie Moore flavor to Susnara's stuff, methinks.
	12:29pm Tony Coulter: Oh: The Susnara tape on now is the one with the scimitar-and-girl cover we've been discussing.
	12:29pm Mark Williams: well I'm liking this quite a bit, Tony.
	🥁 12:29pm Yvang: I would enjoy a R. Stevie Moore Tape Hiss special.
	12:30pm Mark Williams: i bought an old R. Stevie on Bandcamp day last Fri, actually. That weirdo.
	12:30pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Mark! I like it a lot too. I've got two more tapes of his, which will eventually get a hearing here too.
	🥁 12:32pm listener james from westwood: In since the in-theme, but tied up with emails. Now more happily tied up with cassette tapes; how do, all!
	🥁 12:32pm listener james from westwood: That Pop! cat is automatically cooler than I am, judged by shades alone.
	12:32pm Tony Coulter: @ Yvang: I have played RSM on Tape Hiss a few times. The problem with doing an RSM special is that if I played, say, three tapes, it would only represent a billionth of his output.
	12:33pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, James! So you're what's tangling up the tape!
	🥁 12:34pm Yvang: Even a billionth of R. Stevie Moore is worth it !
	12:37pm Mark Williams: Tony (or anyone) - just how much of those super early R. Stevie cassettes were compiled subsequently in other formats? I have a feeling he's got them all up on his Bandcamp anyway, mind you.
	12:39pm Tony Coulter: Tracks from those early tapes have certainly been compiled elsewhere -- but I don't think many (any?) have been reissued whole.
	🥁 12:39pm Yvang: Yes his Bandcamp is pretty packed!
	12:41pm Mark Williams: i'm also getting a bit of Michael Yonkers in this Dan Susnara. He feels like he's got a foot in the US '70s at times.
	12:41pm Tony Coulter: Well, I should say they've been reissued digitally, and on RSM-made CD-Rs -- but not on CD or vinyl, I don't think.
	12:43pm Mark Williams: are you still buying cassettes nowadays, Tony? Because I still have a player in my car, I'm getting more than my share now.
	12:44pm Tony Coulter: Yep, I'm definitely still buying cassettes. It's a never-ending bonanza.
	12:44pm Tony Coulter: And there's still so much to be discovered.....
	12:47pm Mark Williams: I listened to a Touch cassette yesterday that I'd completely forgotten about. Narodna. Really tremendous material, but then it was all Croatian or Serbian and just a few years before the mania of war took hold in that region.
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: please forgive my ignorance but what does "RSM-made" mean?
	12:49pm Tony Coulter: I just mean CD-R transfers of his own tapes R. Stevie Moore was offering for a while.
	12:52pm Rich in Washington: Eugene Chadbourne's been doing a similar thing with his voluminous cassette catalog - offering them on CD, but retaining his shelf challenging handmade packaging, most if it made from discarded materials from around his house.
	12:53pm coelacanth∅: oh,haha ..."RSM" - i didn't follow the thread up far enough. i thought you were just talking about "cassette-artists" in general (was in the kitchen)
	12:54pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Rich! Yeah, you're not kidding about "shelf-challenging" -- I have a special box for my Chadbourne tapes.
	🥁 12:58pm Yvang: @Rich : I guess the shelf challenged is hidden inside the crate digger!
	12:59pm Rich in Washington: The last live gig I saw before Covid was Eugene at Turn Turn Turn. I was flattered that he remembered which CDRs I had purchased from him months before. Apparently he assembles them by hand and mails them out personally.
	12:59pm Rich in Washington: Hi Yvang! Hi coelacanthø!
	1:00pm Lisboner Pascal (France): What an incredible set, can't tune in for long but Dan Susnara is a new name and I can't wait to listen back to this -- thanks Tony for another great show!
	1:00pm coelacanth∅: i know someone who's first album (home-made cd) came in a brown paper lunch bag with other goodies, like stickers and...i forget - some things not obviously related to the music. i should've kept it all together in that bag. i mentioned it to him years later and he didn't remember everything that was in the bag either.
	1:01pm Rich in Washington: This is incredible, Tony!
	1:01pm coelacanth∅: hey Rich!
	1:02pm Little Fyodor: Great to hear my pal Dan Susnara getting the Tape Hiss treatment! We collaborated on a song for his Sus and Them collection of collaborations a dozen or so years ago. I tried calling him (only way to contact him) about this and left two messages, I hope he's okay!
	1:02pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Pascal! Glad you like what you've heard. Unfortunately, this show won't be archived -- Tape Hisses never are. (Only my freeform shows are archived.)
	🥁 1:02pm Yvang: Either he has hypermnesia or he sells so few he remembers all his customers.
	1:03pm Rich in Washington: I used to keep weird stuff that wouldn't fit into cassette, cd or record shelves into one big box. I lost a lot of it when we came back from a long trip once to find that our water heater had ruptured and ruined everything in an adjacent closet.
	1:03pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Fyodor!!
	1:03pm Rich in Washington: I think it's mostly the latter, Yvang.
	1:03pm Lisboner Pascal (France): Eek! Thanks for letting me know though Tony, I have to work now but it was sweet when I could tune in. Great stuff, really brightened up one of those 'not the best of days'. :-)
	1:03pm Rich in Washington: Fyodor!
	1:04pm Little Fyodor: Hey Tony! Hey -- Rich? Well hi!!
	1:05pm Mark Williams: @Little Fyodor - what a delight. Please let Mr. Susnara know he was enjoyed thoroughly today.
	1:05pm Rich in Washington: Rush is still dead. There's that.
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: it must've been while i was in the kitchen - was that "i hate people" the R.Stevie Moore song?
	1:07pm Little Fyodor: Mark, you betcha!! If I ever contact him again (gulp). I like how late the year is of his tape. I haven't kept close track, but I think most of Tony's Tape Hiss tapes are from back in the 80's or early 90's. Dan was still cranking out the magnetic tape a lot longer than most -- not including revivalists, haha!
	1:07pm Tony Coulter: @ Coel: Nope, the hate was pure Susnara.
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: - i thought maybe that's what started the RSM conversation
	1:09pm Rich in Washington: That was lovely. I tried googling the song title to see if more info was available and it came up with "did Rush Limbaugh avoid military service due to an anal cyst' and it seemed a fitting tribute.
	1:09pm Rich in Washington: This tape is really wonderful!
	1:09pm Tony Coulter: @ Coel: No, it was just that I mentioned that Susnara occasionally reminds me of RSM.
	1:11pm coelacanth∅: oh,yeah his voice reminds me here & there of someone else's voice too but i haven't been able to place it yet
	1:12pm Rich in Washington: The Limbaugh song reminded me a bit of Rudy Schwartz Project.
	1:13pm Mark Williams: vaguely Magnetic Fields guy, but I prefer not to think of that.
	1:15pm Mark Williams: yeah, this really should be reissued. This is quite good.
	1:16pm Rich in Washington: Yeah. Agreed. He's got a website but doesn't appear to have migrated any of his work to digital or CDs, etc.
	1:17pm Rich in Washington: Oof. Maybe a bit old. It's got links to CD Baby.
	1:18pm Mark Williams: Little Fyodor should just tell him that cassettes never went out of style, so just fire up the old dub machine and crank 'em out.
	1:24pm Little Fyodor: I feel cassettes slipped away for a bit and then came roaring back, but you're right, he shouldn't hesitate to crank out the tape! He did switch over to CDR's at some point. I'm a little worried because this has got me thinking about how long it's been since he's sent me something! I used to get a release or two and a four page hand written letter a few times a year, not sure how long it's been now!!
	1:26pm Mark Williams: hope he's ok.
	1:27pm Mark Williams: this arrangement and chord change is so wonderful ("Even").
	1:33pm Little Fyodor: They're not interesting, they're just talking about sports and TV shows!!
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Ha! But they look so happy and so cool.
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Don't you want to be just like them?
	1:41pm Rich in Washington: One problem with CDRs vs cassettes is CD rot. I've accumulated so many CDR releases over the years and sometimes they are on horrible archive hostile cheap brands and don't last very long.
	🥁 1:43pm listener james from westwood: Limbaugh is considerably easier to skewer and apportion right about now.
	1:43pm Little Fyodor: May I?littlefyodor.bandcamp.com...
	1:45pm Tony Coulter: Touché!
	1:46pm Rich in Washington: I'm glad you're on Bandcamp, Fyodor!
	🥁 1:48pm David (in London): Back in the room, and just in time for mention of Kevin Keegan. Superb.
	1:50pm Tony Coulter: Had to look Keegan up just now: I see he's "an English former football player and manager."
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: Is there more to his story?
	1:51pm Mark Williams: I missed the Keegan bit. Saw him play when I was a wee one.
	🥁 1:52pm David (in London): Tony, that somewhat undersells his public profile in late 70s. His fame transcended just football, he was a real superstar personality in his day.
	🥁 1:52pm David (in London): Fantastic 70s bubble perm, too...
	1:52pm Mark Williams: I remember Keegan sang a horrible attempted Top 40 song at some point at the height of his fame.
	🥁 1:53pm David (in London): Mark, ha ha, yes. Not a patch on Hoddle and Waddle's 'Diamond Lights'...
	1:55pm Mark Williams: some of the worst songs of all time were sung by athletes. They have much to answer for.
	🥁 1:56pm David (in London): Can't resist this: www.youtube.com...
	1:57pm Mark Williams: sounding reggae-ish here. I like this.
	1:58pm Tony Coulter: I'm blanking out on his name, but I've got a record recorded by a hockey player that has one genuinely good track on it.
	🥁 1:58pm David (in London): Yeah, I'm really liking this Dadadicky tape.
	1:58pm Tony Coulter: The record is from the '70s.
	1:58pm Mark Williams: Is the word "puck" in it?
	1:59pm Tony Coulter: Nope -- there's no mention of pucks, sticks, or broken teeth.
	🥁 2:02pm David (in London): Was it Wayne Gretzky with Flipper as his backing band?
	2:03pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Nope. The good track is in a psych vein. I would go grab it, except it's in a bunch of disorganized records in the basement.
	2:04pm coelacanth∅: i'm out Thanks Tony! take care y'all
	2:05pm Tony Coulter: See you, coel!
	2:07pm TDK60: Hello Tony. What's up?
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Hey, TDK60!
	🥁 2:10pm David (in London): Bye Coela! Hey TDK.
	2:12pm TDK60: Hey there, David (in London)!
	2:15pm Little Fyodor: Dadadicky is awesome!! I personally know Dan Susnara and Ray Carmen sounds very familiar, but Dadadicky is new to me! Great stuff!!
	🥁 2:19pm David (in London): There was actually some really interesting and off-beat music coming out of the East London / Essex borders in the mid 90s. The Kenny Process Team were another outfit from that same area. They were a real hoot.
	2:20pm Stanley: Yay Tonio and fellow tape hissers.
	2:21pm TDK60: How about that, David? Never heard of this stuff but I figure it could climb the charts at WFMU. You know. there are some "off-beat" sorts around here; some.
	2:21pm Tony Coulter: Dadadicky also slightly reminds me of British artists like Murphy Federation or Bing Selfish.
	2:22pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, heya, Stanely!
	2:22pm Rich in Washington: this is amazing!
	2:25pm Stanley: I've been listening to 'off beat' stuff my entire adult life and I just love the fact I haven't even scratched the surface. BTW, Tony, liking this Dadadicky very much.
	🥁 2:26pm David (in London): Hey Stanley.
	🥁 2:27pm David (in London): Gotta pop to the shops now. Hope to make it back before the end of the show, but if not, thanks Tony.
	2:27pm Stanley: I must also add that we have a badger asleep in the wood shed, at the moment. We're very excited about that. Hi David.
	2:28pm TDK60: Hello, Stanley! Yes, I have to use my nail file a lot. So much scratching the surface.
	2:28pm Tony Coulter: See yerz, David!
	2:28pm Stanley: Get me ten Bensons, while you are out, please David.
	2:30pm Stanley: TDK - you've got to look your best while listening to this stuff.
	2:42pm TDK60: Do we know if this group played live, or was only a recording group?
	2:44pm Tony Coulter: Don't know. All I know is that they were part of a "scene" of interrelated groups on the Fragment label.
	2:50pm Mark Williams: wonderful, revelatory cassettes that you shared today, Tony. Thank you as ever.
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: You're welcome, Mark!
	2:54pm Mark Williams: ha, was sharing this Subject track and compilation with friends over the weekend. An absolute fave of mine.
	🥁 2:54pm Yvang: Tony, will you reveal which obscure LP is partially hidden behind the cassettes today?
	2:55pm Tony Coulter: Sure! It's this: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 2:56pm Yvang: Thanks!
	🥁 2:57pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Tony! Hiss shows are always a fun ride.
	2:57pm TDK60: Thanks, Tony!
	🥁 2:57pm Yvang: And thank you Tony for this fantabulous Tape Hiss Tuesday show!
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for a fun show, Tony!
	2:57pm Ike: Thanks thinks tanks thongs Thor thankee!
	2:57pm Stanley: Thanks Tony. Most enjoyable.
	2:58pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everybody!! Hope to see you next week....
	🥁 2:58pm WR: time passing. so soon. Thank you Tony!

	1:05pm Mark Williams: @Little Fyodor - what a delight. Please let Mr. Susnara know he was enjoyed thoroughly today.
	1:05pm Rich in Washington: Rush is still dead. There's that.
	1:06pm coelacanth∅: it must've been while i was in the kitchen - was that "i hate people" the R.Stevie Moore song?
	1:07pm Little Fyodor: Mark, you betcha!! If I ever contact him again (gulp). I like how late the year is of his tape. I haven't kept close track, but I think most of Tony's Tape Hiss tapes are from back in the 80's or early 90's. Dan was still cranking out the magnetic tape a lot longer than most -- not including revivalists, haha!
	1:07pm Tony Coulter: @ Coel: Nope, the hate was pure Susnara.
	1:08pm coelacanth∅: - i thought maybe that's what started the RSM conversation
	1:09pm Rich in Washington: That was lovely. I tried googling the song title to see if more info was available and it came up with "did Rush Limbaugh avoid military service due to an anal cyst' and it seemed a fitting tribute.
	1:09pm Rich in Washington: This tape is really wonderful!
	1:09pm Tony Coulter: @ Coel: No, it was just that I mentioned that Susnara occasionally reminds me of RSM.
	1:11pm coelacanth∅: oh,yeah his voice reminds me here & there of someone else's voice too but i haven't been able to place it yet
	1:12pm Rich in Washington: The Limbaugh song reminded me a bit of Rudy Schwartz Project.
	1:13pm Mark Williams: vaguely Magnetic Fields guy, but I prefer not to think of that.
	1:15pm Mark Williams: yeah, this really should be reissued. This is quite good.
	1:16pm Rich in Washington: Yeah. Agreed. He's got a website but doesn't appear to have migrated any of his work to digital or CDs, etc.
	1:17pm Rich in Washington: Oof. Maybe a bit old. It's got links to CD Baby.
	1:18pm Mark Williams: Little Fyodor should just tell him that cassettes never went out of style, so just fire up the old dub machine and crank 'em out.
	1:24pm Little Fyodor: I feel cassettes slipped away for a bit and then came roaring back, but you're right, he shouldn't hesitate to crank out the tape! He did switch over to CDR's at some point. I'm a little worried because this has got me thinking about how long it's been since he's sent me something! I used to get a release or two and a four page hand written letter a few times a year, not sure how long it's been now!!
	1:26pm Mark Williams: hope he's ok.
	1:27pm Mark Williams: this arrangement and chord change is so wonderful ("Even").
	1:33pm Little Fyodor: They're not interesting, they're just talking about sports and TV shows!!
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Ha! But they look so happy and so cool.
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Don't you want to be just like them?
	1:41pm Rich in Washington: One problem with CDRs vs cassettes is CD rot. I've accumulated so many CDR releases over the years and sometimes they are on horrible archive hostile cheap brands and don't last very long.
	🥁 1:43pm listener james from westwood: Limbaugh is considerably easier to skewer and apportion right about now.
	1:43pm Little Fyodor: May I?littlefyodor.bandcamp.com...
	1:45pm Tony Coulter: Touché!
	1:46pm Rich in Washington: I'm glad you're on Bandcamp, Fyodor!
	🥁 1:48pm David (in London): Back in the room, and just in time for mention of Kevin Keegan. Superb.
	1:50pm Tony Coulter: Had to look Keegan up just now: I see he's "an English former football player and manager."
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: Is there more to his story?
	1:51pm Mark Williams: I missed the Keegan bit. Saw him play when I was a wee one.
	🥁 1:52pm David (in London): Tony, that somewhat undersells his public profile in late 70s. His fame transcended just football, he was a real superstar personality in his day.
	🥁 1:52pm David (in London): Fantastic 70s bubble perm, too...
	1:52pm Mark Williams: I remember Keegan sang a horrible attempted Top 40 song at some point at the height of his fame.
	🥁 1:53pm David (in London): Mark, ha ha, yes. Not a patch on Hoddle and Waddle's 'Diamond Lights'...
	1:55pm Mark Williams: some of the worst songs of all time were sung by athletes. They have much to answer for.
	🥁 1:56pm David (in London): Can't resist this: www.youtube.com...
	1:57pm Mark Williams: sounding reggae-ish here. I like this.
	1:58pm Tony Coulter: I'm blanking out on his name, but I've got a record recorded by a hockey player that has one genuinely good track on it.
	🥁 1:58pm David (in London): Yeah, I'm really liking this Dadadicky tape.
	1:58pm Tony Coulter: The record is from the '70s.
	1:58pm Mark Williams: Is the word "puck" in it?
	1:59pm Tony Coulter: Nope -- there's no mention of pucks, sticks, or broken teeth.
	🥁 2:02pm David (in London): Was it Wayne Gretzky with Flipper as his backing band?
	2:03pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Nope. The good track is in a psych vein. I would go grab it, except it's in a bunch of disorganized records in the basement.
	2:04pm coelacanth∅: i'm out Thanks Tony! take care y'all
	2:05pm Tony Coulter: See you, coel!
	2:07pm TDK60: Hello Tony. What's up?
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Hey, TDK60!
	🥁 2:10pm David (in London): Bye Coela! Hey TDK.
	2:12pm TDK60: Hey there, David (in London)!
	2:15pm Little Fyodor: Dadadicky is awesome!! I personally know Dan Susnara and Ray Carmen sounds very familiar, but Dadadicky is new to me! Great stuff!!
	🥁 2:19pm David (in London): There was actually some really interesting and off-beat music coming out of the East London / Essex borders in the mid 90s. The Kenny Process Team were another outfit from that same area. They were a real hoot.
	2:20pm Stanley: Yay Tonio and fellow tape hissers.
	2:21pm TDK60: How about that, David? Never heard of this stuff but I figure it could climb the charts at WFMU. You know. there are some "off-beat" sorts around here; some.
	2:21pm Tony Coulter: Dadadicky also slightly reminds me of British artists like Murphy Federation or Bing Selfish.
	2:22pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, heya, Stanely!
	2:22pm Rich in Washington: this is amazing!
	2:25pm Stanley: I've been listening to 'off beat' stuff my entire adult life and I just love the fact I haven't even scratched the surface. BTW, Tony, liking this Dadadicky very much.
	🥁 2:26pm David (in London): Hey Stanley.
	🥁 2:27pm David (in London): Gotta pop to the shops now. Hope to make it back before the end of the show, but if not, thanks Tony.
	2:27pm Stanley: I must also add that we have a badger asleep in the wood shed, at the moment. We're very excited about that. Hi David.
	2:28pm TDK60: Hello, Stanley! Yes, I have to use my nail file a lot. So much scratching the surface.
	2:28pm Tony Coulter: See yerz, David!
	2:28pm Stanley: Get me ten Bensons, while you are out, please David.
	2:30pm Stanley: TDK - you've got to look your best while listening to this stuff.
	2:42pm TDK60: Do we know if this group played live, or was only a recording group?
	2:44pm Tony Coulter: Don't know. All I know is that they were part of a "scene" of interrelated groups on the Fragment label.
	2:50pm Mark Williams: wonderful, revelatory cassettes that you shared today, Tony. Thank you as ever.
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: You're welcome, Mark!
	2:54pm Mark Williams: ha, was sharing this Subject track and compilation with friends over the weekend. An absolute fave of mine.
	🥁 2:54pm Yvang: Tony, will you reveal which obscure LP is partially hidden behind the cassettes today?
	2:55pm Tony Coulter: Sure! It's this: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 2:56pm Yvang: Thanks!
	🥁 2:57pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Tony! Hiss shows are always a fun ride.
	2:57pm TDK60: Thanks, Tony!
	🥁 2:57pm Yvang: And thank you Tony for this fantabulous Tape Hiss Tuesday show!
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for a fun show, Tony!
	2:57pm Ike: Thanks thinks tanks thongs Thor thankee!
	2:57pm Stanley: Thanks Tony. Most enjoyable.
	2:58pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everybody!! Hope to see you next week....
	🥁 2:58pm WR: time passing. so soon. Thank you Tony!
