	12:04pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: YAY
	12:04pm rw: Hello! Crap. I got the math question wrong. Let's try again... Hello!
	♥ 12:06pm Tony Coulter: Hey, hey, hey, sem and rw!
	12:06pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: That was an English movie in the mid 1960s called the assassination bureau. It had a very young very sexy Diana Rigg in it
	12:07pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @12:03 hola Sem.
	12:07pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ chresti @12:02 Hi crestikins!
	12:08pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: There was also a movie called T.A.G the assassination game that had a young Linda Hamilton. Before she starred in THE TERMINATOR
	♥ 12:09pm Tony Coulter: In case anyone's wondering why I listed four cassettes in the program description, but only included three in the pic: The Kevin Coughlin doesn't have a real cover, just some handwritten notes -- plus, more importantly, it has his address and phone number prominently displayed. Didn't want to dox him!
	♥ 12:09pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️ @12:06 That movie is probably the source of their name!
	🥁 ♥ 12:10pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:07 Hello, AiT!
	12:10pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Sorry Mr Coulter I can’t see the artwork I’m used the FMU app for Apple
	♥ 12:11pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:09 'That movie" = Assassination Bureau
	12:12pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Any movie or show with Diana Rigg in it. I still have a huge crush on her when she was on “the avengers”
	♥ 12:13pm Tony Coulter: Oh, the Assassination Bureau tape is the one with the preacher type (actually, he's a "blasphemer").
	🥁 ♥ 12:14pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️ @12:08 Oh, yes! I think that also starred Flounder from Animal House.
	12:15pm rw: I'm not really completely awake and probably shouldn't say anything, but I'm finding the angst of the mid '80s almost quaint in retrospect. Weird.
	🥁 ♥ 12:21pm David (in London): Afternoon Tony and assembled Coultards: Phillip, pot8o, James, Andrew, Chrestikins!, WR, Semulator, rw.
	♥ 12:21pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, David!!
	🥁 ♥ 12:22pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @12:13 "You look as though you're setting out to seduce an arch-bishop."
	🥁 ♥ 12:23pm David (in London): ↳ David (in London) @12:22 Line delivered immaculately by Oliver Reed.
	12:23pm rw: Howdy D(iL)
	♥ 12:25pm Tony Coulter: ↳ rw @12:15 What I find strange is that rock and pop music today have so little angst or anger, even tho we have even more reasons for both than people did back in the '80s.
	12:25pm rw: I'm liking the Burk Sauls!
	♥ 12:29pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:25 So little angst about the world in general, I mean, as opposed to personal angst.
	🥁 ♥ 12:34pm chresti: Davidkins! I was just seeing fox heads in my almost asleep state!
	🥁 ♥ 12:34pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @12:29 I remember Mervyn King - former governor of the Bank of England - saying in 2008 that he was surprised that in the wake of the banking crash people weren't out in the streets going ballistic.
	12:35pm rw: Tony, I was going to say, there does seem to be a higher level of personal anxiety in general. Not sure if or how it comes across in popular music today. I don't listen deeply enough to much of it that I would know or understand. Other than that anxiety saturated beat in trap beat.
	12:36pm rw: trap music.
	12:36pm rw: chresti! Good morning!
	🥁 ♥ 12:41pm chresti: rw! Good morning!
	🥁 ♥ 12:42pm chresti: Hi Andrew in TOkins!
	♥ 12:43pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @12:34 Hi there Tony and all other listeners!
	♥ 12:44pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ David (in London) @12:34 Good early evening David.
	🥁 ♥ 12:45pm chresti: Sounds of early drum machines, yeah!
	12:46pm rw: chresti, you were asking the other day to let you know if I ever threw another big art opening... I may never again, but my girlfriend started working at Barnsdall recently. They're reopening Thursday evening 6-8pm. You guys should go!
	12:47pm rw: COLA show. Reopening after being shut down for pandemic.
	🥁 ♥ 12:48pm David (in London): This drum machine makes Doctor Avalanche sound like Bill Bruford. Love it.
	🥁 ♥ 12:50pm WR: ↳ Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️ @12:06 Thank you for the reminder about the The Assassination Bureau movie with Diana Rigg (and Oliver Reed and Telly Savalas). I had got a copy years ago but never got around to watching it. It was based on a book with Sinclair Lewis, Jack London lineage but not finished and published until the 1960s. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 12:52pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @12:48 Just looked up Doktor Avalanche (the Sisters of Mercy drum machine): "The original incarnation of Doktor Avalanche was a BOSS DR-55 ("Doctor Rhythm"); the Doktor was later replaced by a Roland TR-606, soon followed by a TR-808, and, briefly, a TR-909."
	♥ 12:55pm Tony Coulter: PS: Burk Sauls doesn't mention what he's using.
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm WR: ↳ Song: "Good as Gold" by "The Assassination Bureau" I didn't notice you saying, and since hsss shows are no archived can't later go back and listen, why the The Assassination Bureau cassette is only two relatively short tracks. Are the two tracks on one side of the cassette and is my sense of time correct, the two together were less than 15 minutes?
	♥ 1:00pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @12:58 It's a two-track cassingle. The notes say it's two tracks from a forthcoming EP, but as far as I know, the EP never came out.
	♥ 1:00pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Tony, hisstorians
	♥ 1:01pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:00 hiya coel!
	♥ 1:01pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, coel!
	1:01pm rw: I hadn't heard the term or known of the cassingle until maybe a year ago. coelacanth!
	♥ 1:01pm coelacanth∅: hey Andrew!
	♥ 1:01pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:01 The pups are back: www.youtube.com...
	1:02pm rw: Not that I remember anyway. My memory really really sucks.
	♥ 1:02pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	♥ 1:02pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @12:58 Oh, and yes, WR, the two tracks are on one side of the tape.
	♥ 1:04pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:01 They're sleeping now, I see. Let's be careful not to wake them.
	🥁 ♥ 1:06pm WR: ↳ rw @1:01 I've never heard the term before. Only time I'd seen anything like it in the past was something released that way for promotional purposes. But seems it was a thing. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 1:07pm coelacanth∅: the only cassingles i ever bought i bought from a dollar bin, and unaware they were cassingles.
	🥁 ♥ 1:07pm Stanley: Buongiorno Tonio
	♥ 1:09pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:07 (until i got home and played them)
	1:09pm headcleaner: Afternoon peoplessssssss
	♥ 1:10pm Tony Coulter: Oops! I'm wrong. There was a The Other #2: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 1:11pm Tony Coulter: After-noon-o-morning, Stanley and headcleaner!!
	♥ 1:16pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Stanley @1:07 Hi there Stanley.
	1:20pm rw: WR (and cc) I have a couple friends who grew up in the '90s listening to cassingles and were surprised I hadn't known of them. Evidently they WERE a thing.
	♥ 1:28pm coelacanth∅: hola Stanley, headcleaner
	1:29pm David in London: Mm, liking this.
	♥ 1:31pm coelacanth∅: rw -i didn't know they were *a thing" until long after they were a thing. i hated them. ...as if 2-song records wasn't a wasteful enough medium!
	🥁 ♥ 1:34pm Stanley: Hello Messrs Andrew and coelacanth
	1:36pm rw: coel, my severely flawed memory recalls that the EP was a way to make music more affordable after jacking the prices on LPs during the oil crisis using the scarcity of oil as an excuse. Never made sense to me, seeing that a 12 inch EP used the same resources as a 12 inch LP.
	♥ 1:42pm coelacanth∅: right. the only way it made sense were the 10" and 7" ones. you can have 4 full-length songs comfortably on a 7" microgroove record but we rarely saw it.
	♥ 1:42pm Tony Coulter: Yes, Audio Leter do indeed spell their name with one 't.'
	♥ 1:45pm coelacanth∅: (you really could have 6 songs on a 7" if they were typical punk song length. conversely if they were fairly quiet.)
	🥁 ♥ 1:47pm WR: ↳ Song: "In the Bathroom" by "Audio Leter" from discogs: Audio Leter Audio Leter More Images "Duo founded by vocalist and violinist Sharon Gannon and guitarist Sue Ann Harkey. Formed in Seattle, Washington in 1979, and later moved to New York City. Altered band name to Audio Letter in the late 1980's." And they have albums. www.discogs.com...
	♥ 1:50pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @1:47 Yep, I have a bunch of their tapes. Will get to them here one of these days. Saw Sue Ann Harkey solo live in a Brooklyn bar, years ago. She became part of the NYC "Downtown" improv scene.
	🥁 ♥ 1:54pm WR: If I wasn't working I would be looking up each on of the artists on this comp. Lots to like.
	♥ 2:00pm coelacanth∅: a few of these artists i remember from many years ago, via wfmu... got a few taped off the radio...zoogz rift, Johanna Went... 'wonder if it was your shows i heard them on!
	♥ 2:03pm Tony Coulter: I'd guess that Zoogz Rift has gotten a good amount of FMU airplay over the years -- although a lot of his tracks are non-FCC-friendly.
	♥ 2:10pm Tony Coulter: I've certainly played him before, along with Johanna Went, C.W. Vrtacek, De Fabriek, Paul Dresher, Audio Leter, Rich La Bonte, Philip Perkins, and Pope Paul Pot (who's coming up later). So ... lots of these artists!
	♥ 2:16pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Song: "O Kryptonite Dub" by "Alex Igloo & disloKate Klam... A nod to "O Superman" here.
	♥ 2:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "O Kryptonite Dub" by "Alex Igloo & disloKate Klam... arb played this in September...
	♥ 2:20pm Tony Coulter: Grated minds stink alike!
	♥ 2:20pm Tony Coulter: (Hiya, NGH!)
	2:26pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "I Don't Wanna Cry" by "Myc James" Quite a find, this sleek plastic box with a spooled ribbony thing inside
	2:37pm rw: 1982 was a good year for music. Just making a blanket statement here. Maybe I just feel like that because I was 20 yrs old.
	🥁 ♥ 2:39pm Sem: Getting a great kick out of the 1982 set, Tony. So fun. Thank you.
	♥ 2:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie Is a Wild Thing" by "Pope Paul Pot" think this pope has a pole?
	2:40pm rw: The year it was cool and fun to make a crazy version of Wild Thing.
	♥ 2:46pm Tony Coulter: Some Christmas music for you ... in July.
	2:46pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie Is a Wild Thing" by "Pope Paul Pot" Pretty much exactly what we expect Jan Paweł II and Saloth Sâr to sound like, were they to be fused together in a transporter beam
	2:47pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Great tape hiss show!!! I was on my bed with my EarPods on listening the whole time. Great tape hiss show
	♥ 2:47pm Andrew in Toronto: This was a great show! Thanks Tony!
	♥ 2:48pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, Phillip and Andrew!!
	🥁 ♥ 2:49pm Stanley: Top Toons. Ta Tony. Till Tuesday.
	♥ 2:49pm northguineahills: ↳ headcleaner @2:46 haha!
	🥁 ♥ 2:51pm WR: Thank you! Tony!
	🥁 ♥ 2:54pm pot8o: thanks Tony! have a great week everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 2:55pm chresti: Thanks Tony!
	2:56pm rw: Thank you Tony! Later everyone! Fun show and fun to hang out too.
	♥ 2:56pm northguineahills: the sixths have a song, "winter in july" w/ ayako akashiba
	♥ 2:57pm northguineahills: Thnnks, Tony!
	♥ 2:57pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everyone!! See you!

	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm Asheville Jon: thanks Tony!!!!
	2:58pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: See you next week mr coulter.

	♥ 12:52pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @12:48 Just looked up Doktor Avalanche (the Sisters of Mercy drum machine): "The original incarnation of Doktor Avalanche was a BOSS DR-55 ("Doctor Rhythm"); the Doktor was later replaced by a Roland TR-606, soon followed by a TR-808, and, briefly, a TR-909."
	♥ 12:55pm Tony Coulter: PS: Burk Sauls doesn't mention what he's using.
	🥁 ♥ 12:58pm WR: ↳ Song: "Good as Gold" by "The Assassination Bureau" I didn't notice you saying, and since hsss shows are no archived can't later go back and listen, why the The Assassination Bureau cassette is only two relatively short tracks. Are the two tracks on one side of the cassette and is my sense of time correct, the two together were less than 15 minutes?
	♥ 1:00pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @12:58 It's a two-track cassingle. The notes say it's two tracks from a forthcoming EP, but as far as I know, the EP never came out.
	♥ 1:00pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Tony, hisstorians
	♥ 1:01pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:00 hiya coel!
	♥ 1:01pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, coel!
	1:01pm rw: I hadn't heard the term or known of the cassingle until maybe a year ago. coelacanth!
	♥ 1:01pm coelacanth∅: hey Andrew!
	♥ 1:01pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:01 The pups are back: www.youtube.com...
	1:02pm rw: Not that I remember anyway. My memory really really sucks.
	♥ 1:02pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	♥ 1:02pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @12:58 Oh, and yes, WR, the two tracks are on one side of the tape.
	♥ 1:04pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @1:01 They're sleeping now, I see. Let's be careful not to wake them.
	🥁 ♥ 1:06pm WR: ↳ rw @1:01 I've never heard the term before. Only time I'd seen anything like it in the past was something released that way for promotional purposes. But seems it was a thing. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 1:07pm coelacanth∅: the only cassingles i ever bought i bought from a dollar bin, and unaware they were cassingles.
	🥁 ♥ 1:07pm Stanley: Buongiorno Tonio
	♥ 1:09pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:07 (until i got home and played them)
	1:09pm headcleaner: Afternoon peoplessssssss
	♥ 1:10pm Tony Coulter: Oops! I'm wrong. There was a The Other #2: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 1:11pm Tony Coulter: After-noon-o-morning, Stanley and headcleaner!!
	♥ 1:16pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Stanley @1:07 Hi there Stanley.
	1:20pm rw: WR (and cc) I have a couple friends who grew up in the '90s listening to cassingles and were surprised I hadn't known of them. Evidently they WERE a thing.
	♥ 1:28pm coelacanth∅: hola Stanley, headcleaner
	1:29pm David in London: Mm, liking this.
	♥ 1:31pm coelacanth∅: rw -i didn't know they were *a thing" until long after they were a thing. i hated them. ...as if 2-song records wasn't a wasteful enough medium!
	🥁 ♥ 1:34pm Stanley: Hello Messrs Andrew and coelacanth
	1:36pm rw: coel, my severely flawed memory recalls that the EP was a way to make music more affordable after jacking the prices on LPs during the oil crisis using the scarcity of oil as an excuse. Never made sense to me, seeing that a 12 inch EP used the same resources as a 12 inch LP.
	♥ 1:42pm coelacanth∅: right. the only way it made sense were the 10" and 7" ones. you can have 4 full-length songs comfortably on a 7" microgroove record but we rarely saw it.
	♥ 1:42pm Tony Coulter: Yes, Audio Leter do indeed spell their name with one 't.'
	♥ 1:45pm coelacanth∅: (you really could have 6 songs on a 7" if they were typical punk song length. conversely if they were fairly quiet.)
	🥁 ♥ 1:47pm WR: ↳ Song: "In the Bathroom" by "Audio Leter" from discogs: Audio Leter Audio Leter More Images "Duo founded by vocalist and violinist Sharon Gannon and guitarist Sue Ann Harkey. Formed in Seattle, Washington in 1979, and later moved to New York City. Altered band name to Audio Letter in the late 1980's." And they have albums. www.discogs.com...
	♥ 1:50pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @1:47 Yep, I have a bunch of their tapes. Will get to them here one of these days. Saw Sue Ann Harkey solo live in a Brooklyn bar, years ago. She became part of the NYC "Downtown" improv scene.
	🥁 ♥ 1:54pm WR: If I wasn't working I would be looking up each on of the artists on this comp. Lots to like.
	♥ 2:00pm coelacanth∅: a few of these artists i remember from many years ago, via wfmu... got a few taped off the radio...zoogz rift, Johanna Went... 'wonder if it was your shows i heard them on!
	♥ 2:03pm Tony Coulter: I'd guess that Zoogz Rift has gotten a good amount of FMU airplay over the years -- although a lot of his tracks are non-FCC-friendly.
	♥ 2:10pm Tony Coulter: I've certainly played him before, along with Johanna Went, C.W. Vrtacek, De Fabriek, Paul Dresher, Audio Leter, Rich La Bonte, Philip Perkins, and Pope Paul Pot (who's coming up later). So ... lots of these artists!
	♥ 2:16pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Song: "O Kryptonite Dub" by "Alex Igloo & disloKate Klam... A nod to "O Superman" here.
	♥ 2:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "O Kryptonite Dub" by "Alex Igloo & disloKate Klam... arb played this in September...
	♥ 2:20pm Tony Coulter: Grated minds stink alike!
	♥ 2:20pm Tony Coulter: (Hiya, NGH!)
	2:26pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "I Don't Wanna Cry" by "Myc James" Quite a find, this sleek plastic box with a spooled ribbony thing inside
	2:37pm rw: 1982 was a good year for music. Just making a blanket statement here. Maybe I just feel like that because I was 20 yrs old.
	🥁 ♥ 2:39pm Sem: Getting a great kick out of the 1982 set, Tony. So fun. Thank you.
	♥ 2:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie Is a Wild Thing" by "Pope Paul Pot" think this pope has a pole?
	2:40pm rw: The year it was cool and fun to make a crazy version of Wild Thing.
	♥ 2:46pm Tony Coulter: Some Christmas music for you ... in July.
	2:46pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Louie Louie Is a Wild Thing" by "Pope Paul Pot" Pretty much exactly what we expect Jan Paweł II and Saloth Sâr to sound like, were they to be fused together in a transporter beam
	2:47pm Listener Phillip (in the Bronx)♎️⚖️: Great tape hiss show!!! I was on my bed with my EarPods on listening the whole time. Great tape hiss show
