	🥁 12:08pm David (in London): Hi James, pot8o.
	12:09pm spodiodi: good morning, Tony and all!
	12:09pm Tony Coulter: Morning, spodi!
	12:10pm Andrew in Toronto: good morning spodi!
	12:10pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ northguineahills @12:07 Hi ngh!
	🥁 12:10pm Yvang: How did the people managed to make the CD reissue sound awful? Did they use a washed out copy of the cassette?
	12:10pm Grn Mtn Les: Certainly a departure from last week! Can’t wait to see where this goes!
	12:11pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Grn Mtn Les @12:10 Hey there, Grn Mtn Les!
	12:11pm spodiodi: hi Andrew!
	12:12pm northguineahills: FYI: Hugo Weris - (Nouvelle Recette et plus) www.lafondation-paris.com
	12:12pm Grn Mtn Les: Happy Tues, Tony! Thanks for being here to amuse us
	12:13pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @12:10 This isn't the tape that was badly reissued -- it's the next one. It wasn't that they used a washed-out copy -- they applied way too much noise reduction.
	12:15pm northguineahills: daylight come and harry belafonte goes home: www.bbc.com...
	🥁 12:15pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:13 Oh! I see...
	12:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:10 andrew!
	12:15pm pot8o: you must have a really good deck, my stuff never sounds this good on my (extremely cheap) deck, if i have it loud enough to where you can actually hear it over the hiss, it starts clipping, but if you have it quiet enough to where it doesn't clip, you can barely hear it over the hiss
	🥁 12:16pm WR: Hi Tony and hiss aficionados
	🥁 12:16pm Yvang: ↳ northguineahills @12:12 A piece of History! and I love the visuals.
	12:17pm pot8o: i've been scouring through yard sales to find a better deck, but my terrible luck means that they're all broken in some way or sound even worse
	12:19pm TDK60: Hi Tony. I see it's a ← rewind ← show.
	12:19pm Yetz: This is interesting
	12:19pm Tony Coulter: ↳ pot8o @12:15 My deck does the job, except for one annoying thing: it only has dolby B, not dolby C. It's very much a mid-price deck -- nothing expensive.
	12:20pm Tony Coulter: Hola, hiya, hello. TDK60 and Yetz!!
	🥁 12:21pm wormington hermit: I quite like this. Hey Tony and all.
	12:21pm Yetz: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:20 Hey Tony, long time no hear.
	🥁 12:21pm David (in London): WR, Teeds, Count Yeti Bob: saluations all.
	12:22pm Yetz: ↳ David (in London) @12:21 Good Sir David of the Smoke!
	12:22pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @12:19 Hi TDK60!
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @12:16 The cover of this tape is that three-part image, not the top one.
	12:23pm TDK60: Oh, reading up-scroll I see Harry Belafonte has passed, 96. A great singer and activist. His 'Ballads, Blues and Boasters' (1964) is one of my top albums. Wherein his version of Woody Guthrie's 'Pastures of Plenty' is breathtaking.
	12:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ northguineahills @12:15 He was a low-key very significant guy.
	12:24pm TDK60: ↳ David (in London) @12:21 Hi David in L., Andrew in T.
	12:25pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, WR! (Just spotted you in the crowd.)
	12:25pm pot8o: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:19 mine has no noise reduction whatsoever, which is probably why i've been having so many issues with it then again, it's a really cheap deck made a solid 20 years after cassettes went out of fashion
	12:29pm Tony Coulter: (A late) hiya, wormington hermit!
	12:33pm Yetz: ↳ TDK60 @12:23 My mother (R.I.P.) just loved Harry Belafonte. They both made it to 96 ...
	12:36pm Yetz: ↳ Yetz @12:33 (she was a lifelong leftie, who passed her values on to me)
	12:37pm TDK60: ↳ Yetz @12:33 Hi Yetz. My mom was also a big fan. The LP I mentioned above was hers.
	12:38pm arb: oooh, the fast forward segment
	12:40pm Tony Coulter: ↳ arb @12:38 Ha! Hey there, arb!!
	12:40pm arb: hi tony!
	12:41pm northguineahills: my link provides the track titles of nouvelle recette (en francais) as it has all the tracks downloadable/streamable , however, it doesn't differentiate which side of the cassette each track was originally....
	12:41pm northguineahills: ↳ arb @12:38 it's an arbush! hellows!
	🥁 12:43pm Yvang: ↳ arb @12:38 Hi arb from the great show The Arbitrarium Friday 3 to 5pm (EDT) on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio!!
	12:45pm Stanley: Hi Tuney
	12:46pm arb: hi ngh & yvang!
	12:47pm Tony Coulter: ↳ northguineahills @12:41 Are you sure? Taking a quick look, I don't see any way to download "Nouvelle Recette." Also, for titles I just see things that seem more like reference numbers than actual titles.
	12:48pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Stanley Yelnats!
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: cd jewel case; tdk cassette; other cassette; knotty pine...
	12:49pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, coel!
	12:49pm coelacanth∅: hi Tony and hyssterical hisstorians
	12:51pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:49 hola coel!
	🥁 12:52pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:47 If you click on the titles of songs in the middle column you get the mp3s
	12:53pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @12:52 Aha -- thanks!
	🥁 12:53pm David (in London): ↳ Stanley @12:45 Ahoy Stanloid!
	12:57pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Greetings Tony and all. Very nice!
	12:57pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Oleh!
	12:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:47 the references are what are used as titles (as w/ most of the other releases shown). click on the track to stream. when it starts to play, click on the the three dots to the right of the player. there will be an option to download the mp3.
	1:00pm Tony Coulter: ↳ northguineahills @12:57 yes, I see that now. It's weird/annoying they don't let you download the whole thing all at once. As for the titles, you're probably right -- maybe my copy of the cassette is missing an insert -- or maybe they came up with the titles later.
	1:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "side A (no track titles)" by "Marcel Kanche" Aimer l'Eunuque Avant de Glauquer has been reissued on cd... but can also be found here: mutant-sounds.blogspot.com...
	1:04pm Tony Coulter: ↳ northguineahills @1:03 As mentioned, the CD reissue sounds terrible -- that's why I decided to play the original tape!
	1:05pm JtotheK: Ahoy everyone!
	1:05pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, Captain JtotheK!
	1:06pm JtotheK: Tony! I'm reading a book "Rip It Up and Start Again - Postpunk 1978-1984." And - I have a tape hiss request!
	1:07pm Tony Coulter: Request away!
	1:08pm JtotheK: "...But the label's strongest conceptual statement was releasing a cacophonous cassette by the Teen Vampires, much of which consisted of an argument between the singer and the bassist. Kif described it as 'the worst tape I've ever heard'. But he felt compelled to release it 'just because it was so awful.' "
	1:09pm JtotheK: ^ That description sounds incredible!
	1:09pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Reaching for Something Routine" by "Glorious Mood... I just heard KBOO FM mentioned. An independent station in Portland.
	1:09pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Don't have that one -- but now I'll be on the hunt for it.
	🥁 1:13pm David (in London): ↳ JtotheK @1:08 That sounds akin to The Troggs Tapes.
	1:13pm JtotheK: Quoting a bit more from the book. "There were even a handful of cassette-only labels, such as Smellytapes and Deleted Records. The absolute kingpin of this microscene, its Rough Trade, was Fuck Off Records. Fuck Off was run by Kif Kif, formerly of the hippie band Here and Now." . . . "The label's star act was Danny and the Dressmakers." ... "The label catalog boasted over 30 cassettes." So - anything from any of those labels would also be a request!
	1:14pm Tony Coulter: ↳ TDK60 @1:09 Indeed. The station's Rich Lindsay, who has a new show on the Drummer stream, is also on KBOO. I've hung out at KBOO a bit, and did one (or two?) guest shows there.
	1:16pm Tony Coulter: ↳ JtotheK @1:13 I have played at least one tape on Deleted. I dig both Deleted and Fuck Off -- but those tapes are hard to find.
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: olá Andrew! hola Oleh!
	1:21pm Tony Coulter: Here are two KBOO shows I'd recommend if you like the more experimental end of things: kboo.fm... kboo.fm...
	1:22pm TDK60: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:14 Tony: Ah, I didn't know about the new Drummer show by Rich L. Great! What day? // I lived there 2006-'09, volunteered at KBOO a bit, helping the music director label the genres of incoming music, after listening. That was arbitrary fun, hee.
	1:24pm northguineahills: ↳ JtotheK @1:08 yeah, we need to hear that one!
	1:25pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @1:22 Along with music, I listened to the leftist/progressive political KBOO shows too.
	🥁 1:25pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Prelude (Torn Between 2 Bipeds)" by "Bomis Prendin" Was introduced to BP via the Nurse with Wound list.
	1:27pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Howdy Coelcanth
	1:27pm JtotheK: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:16 Yeah, the way I understood it was that these were mail-order and not released in large qty's. I figured you'd be familiar and likely have featured some! thanks!
	1:27pm Tony Coulter: ↳ TDK60 @1:22 Rich's new Drummer show starts on May 5, and will air every Friday evening, from 9pm to midnight. By the way, I'm talking about Rich in Washington.
	1:30pm northguineahills: ↳ David (in London) @1:25 and yet, my randomly selective memory has no recollection of his name...
	1:38pm TDK60: Is this Vacation A or B? Either way, sounds like fun.
	1:39pm Tony Coulter: That was vacation B!
	1:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:39 This has a lovely twiddle and chug!
	🥁 1:41pm David (in London): ↳ TDK60 @1:38 Vacation A was really rainy and ended in a massive argument, so Tony must have skipped that one...
	🥁 1:43pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "38 Angry Tigers" by "Bomis Prendin" I remember that BP described themselves as “the band that put the harm in harmony, and the odious in melodious."
	1:44pm TDK60: ↳ David (in London) @1:41 DiL: Heehoo.
	1:48pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Prendin is such cool entity from those great days. Tony are you familiar with Peter Catham and PS O’neil and the Chains ofHell Orchestra. When I have the ambition and can brave the cobwebs under our basement stairs,Iknow I have a trove of cassettes somewhere in the boxes
	1:50pm TDK60: ↳ David (in London) @1:43 Was just investigating this combo. "The first time you listen to the music of Bomis Prendin, you might not like it. You might even hate it. But it will be too late by then. Because Bomis Prendin’s music contains powerful psychoacoustic resonant frequencies that actually alter your brain waves as you listen. The result? Soon, you will love Bomis Prendin’s music;" bomisprendin.com
	1:50pm rw: Hello!!
	1:50pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Oleh from Pittsburgh @1:48 I do know Peter Catham -- but have never heard of PS O’neil and the Chains of Hell Orchestra!
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: ↳ rw @1:50 Hiya, rw!
	🥁 1:53pm David (in London): ↳ TDK60 @1:50 Ha ha, that must be the secret of their 'success'.
	1:55pm TDK60: ↳ David (in London) @1:53 Dil: Yes, their very secret success.
	🥁 1:56pm WR: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:27 wfmu.org... Rich in Washington had a show on WFMU Sheena's stream for over 4 years on Friday nights.
	1:57pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @1:56 Very true. But now he's joined the Drummer team. We gave Sheena an 800-pound Samoan linebacker in return.
	🥁 2:00pm Yvang: ↳ TDK60 @1:55 I like how threatening it is, also this could apply to listening to WFMU.
	🥁 2:11pm David (in London): That was sodding marvellous Tony, thanks for playing that.
	2:12pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @2:11 It is a great cassette. They really should reissue it.
	🥁 2:15pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "The Zombies Come Home" by "Gargoyle Mechanique" Liking this very much too. A little O Yuki Conjugate perhaps? The sound of Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent returning to their gaff.
	2:17pm Mr. Oxford: Hello Tony, hello all!
	2:17pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @2:15 Had to look up "gaff": "A gaff is a piece of fabric, usually augmented by an elastic such as a rubber band, that is designed to hide a penile bulge. It is usually worn by trans women or male cross-dressers. Since the 2010s, underwear manufacturers have begun to design underwear with the same function as gaffs."
	2:18pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:17 Hi there, Mr. Oxford!
	🥁 2:18pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @2:17 Informal British slang for your dwelling, too.
	🥁 2:19pm David (in London): Hello Mr Oxford, salutations to you.
	2:20pm Mr. Oxford: Tony, perhaps you've already answered this question: why are the Tape Hiss shows not archived? Is there a particular reason?
	2:21pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ David (in London) @2:19 Salutations to you too good sir,, David (in London).
	2:23pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mr. Oxford
	2:24pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:20 It's because I play entire releases and sometimes unreleased stuff -- legally, it's safer not to archive the show (lawsuits happen). However, this particular show will be archived.
	2:25pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:24 Understood, thanks. And good to know this particular show will br archived! Enjoying this particular track.
	2:27pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:23 Greetings coelacanth∅!
	🥁 2:27pm wormington hermit: This tape is truly wonderful. Makes me wish I had a more open musical mind in the 80s. Better late than never I s'pose.
	2:29pm Tony Coulter: ↳ wormington hermit @2:27 Gargoyle Mechanique was sort of a theater group too. Their audio play "House of Dogs" is a classic.
	🥁 2:32pm wormington hermit: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:29 I'm intrigued! Cool- I just found it on YT. Will save for later!
	🥁 2:33pm David (in London): Thanks for that steer Tony, will definitely give that one a listen as well.
	2:34pm TDK60: I have to leave early. Extra groovy smash hits today, Tony!
	2:35pm Tony Coulter: See you, TDK60!
	2:39pm Andrew in Toronto: What a wonderful show! Thanks Tony!
	2:39pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "Potty" by "Gargoyle Mechanique" The fact that the title made me laugh when it appeared on the playlist makes me realize how immature I am.
	2:40pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:39 Thanks, Andrew!
	2:41pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Great tape his show! Laying on my bed listening with my EarPods on
	2:42pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Man that time flew fast
	🥁 2:45pm Julie: Hi Tony! I'll be right here when y'all are done wfmu.org...
	2:45pm rw: Thanks as always Tony!!
	2:45pm spodiodi: thanks, Tony! loved the show today
	2:45pm Tony Coulter: hey, Julie!!
	2:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Kristin" by "Niala Effen (= Alain Neffe)" sounds like tortoise sampled this...
	2:45pm Mr. Oxford: Thank you, Tony! Great show!
	🥁 2:48pm wormington hermit: Great show thanx TC.
	2:48pm pot8o: thanks Tony! have a great week everyone!
	🥁 2:49pm Yvang: Thanks Tony. This has been a great Best of Tape Hiss. I hope you will do another one in the near future.
	🥁 2:50pm David (in London): Yeah, absolute banger of a show today Tony.
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @2:49 I probably will -- because it does bother me a bit that so many fine tapes slip back into the void after being played once.
	2:52pm Tony Coulter: (played once here, I mean.)
	2:53pm JtotheK: enjoyed the programme, tony - thanks! cheers everyone.
	🥁 2:53pm Yvang: Do you know there's another different but great cassette show sometimes on WFMU freeform.wfmu.org...
	2:54pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @2:53 I didn't know that! Will have to listen. Thanks!
	2:55pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Yvang @2:53 DIdn't know about this. Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing, Yvang.
	2:55pm Mr. Oxford: So many shows on WFMU, so little time to listen to them all.
	🥁 2:57pm Yvang: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:55 Yes we would need several human lifetimes.
	2:57pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Great show
	2:57pm northguineahills: thanks Tony!
	2:57pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for showing up, everyone!
	2:57pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Time goes so damn fast when good music is on damn
	2:58pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: See you next week Mr Coulter
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tony!

	12:04pm Andrew in Toronto: Afternoon DavidiL!
	12:04pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Retro tape hiss
	12:05pm jess: what up tony!
	🥁 12:05pm Yvang: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:03 Andrew!
	12:06pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	🥁 12:06pm listener james from westwood: Greetings, Tony and all!
	🥁 12:06pm David (in London): ↳ northguineahills @12:04 ngh, great choice, I love crazy golf! Also, hello!
	12:06pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, greetings, NGH, Jess, pot80, and James!!!
	12:07pm northguineahills: and, hello fellow folks!
	🥁 12:08pm David (in London): Hi James, pot8o.
	12:09pm spodiodi: good morning, Tony and all!
	12:09pm Tony Coulter: Morning, spodi!
	12:10pm Andrew in Toronto: good morning spodi!
	12:10pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ northguineahills @12:07 Hi ngh!
	🥁 12:10pm Yvang: How did the people managed to make the CD reissue sound awful? Did they use a washed out copy of the cassette?
	12:10pm Grn Mtn Les: Certainly a departure from last week! Can’t wait to see where this goes!
	12:11pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Grn Mtn Les @12:10 Hey there, Grn Mtn Les!
	12:11pm spodiodi: hi Andrew!
	12:12pm northguineahills: FYI: Hugo Weris - (Nouvelle Recette et plus) www.lafondation-paris.com
	12:12pm Grn Mtn Les: Happy Tues, Tony! Thanks for being here to amuse us
	12:13pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @12:10 This isn't the tape that was badly reissued -- it's the next one. It wasn't that they used a washed-out copy -- they applied way too much noise reduction.
	12:15pm northguineahills: daylight come and harry belafonte goes home: www.bbc.com...
	🥁 12:15pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:13 Oh! I see...
	12:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:10 andrew!
	12:15pm pot8o: you must have a really good deck, my stuff never sounds this good on my (extremely cheap) deck, if i have it loud enough to where you can actually hear it over the hiss, it starts clipping, but if you have it quiet enough to where it doesn't clip, you can barely hear it over the hiss
	🥁 12:16pm WR: Hi Tony and hiss aficionados
	🥁 12:16pm Yvang: ↳ northguineahills @12:12 A piece of History! and I love the visuals.
	12:17pm pot8o: i've been scouring through yard sales to find a better deck, but my terrible luck means that they're all broken in some way or sound even worse
	12:19pm TDK60: Hi Tony. I see it's a ← rewind ← show.
	12:19pm Yetz: This is interesting
	12:19pm Tony Coulter: ↳ pot8o @12:15 My deck does the job, except for one annoying thing: it only has dolby B, not dolby C. It's very much a mid-price deck -- nothing expensive.
	12:20pm Tony Coulter: Hola, hiya, hello. TDK60 and Yetz!!
	🥁 12:21pm wormington hermit: I quite like this. Hey Tony and all.
	12:21pm Yetz: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:20 Hey Tony, long time no hear.
	🥁 12:21pm David (in London): WR, Teeds, Count Yeti Bob: saluations all.
	12:22pm Yetz: ↳ David (in London) @12:21 Good Sir David of the Smoke!
	12:22pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ TDK60 @12:19 Hi TDK60!
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @12:16 The cover of this tape is that three-part image, not the top one.
	12:23pm TDK60: Oh, reading up-scroll I see Harry Belafonte has passed, 96. A great singer and activist. His 'Ballads, Blues and Boasters' (1964) is one of my top albums. Wherein his version of Woody Guthrie's 'Pastures of Plenty' is breathtaking.
	12:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ northguineahills @12:15 He was a low-key very significant guy.
	12:24pm TDK60: ↳ David (in London) @12:21 Hi David in L., Andrew in T.
	12:25pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, WR! (Just spotted you in the crowd.)
	12:25pm pot8o: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:19 mine has no noise reduction whatsoever, which is probably why i've been having so many issues with it then again, it's a really cheap deck made a solid 20 years after cassettes went out of fashion
	12:29pm Tony Coulter: (A late) hiya, wormington hermit!
	12:33pm Yetz: ↳ TDK60 @12:23 My mother (R.I.P.) just loved Harry Belafonte. They both made it to 96 ...
	12:36pm Yetz: ↳ Yetz @12:33 (she was a lifelong leftie, who passed her values on to me)
	12:37pm TDK60: ↳ Yetz @12:33 Hi Yetz. My mom was also a big fan. The LP I mentioned above was hers.
	12:38pm arb: oooh, the fast forward segment
	12:40pm Tony Coulter: ↳ arb @12:38 Ha! Hey there, arb!!
	12:40pm arb: hi tony!
	12:41pm northguineahills: my link provides the track titles of nouvelle recette (en francais) as it has all the tracks downloadable/streamable , however, it doesn't differentiate which side of the cassette each track was originally....
	12:41pm northguineahills: ↳ arb @12:38 it's an arbush! hellows!
	🥁 12:43pm Yvang: ↳ arb @12:38 Hi arb from the great show The Arbitrarium Friday 3 to 5pm (EDT) on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio!!
	12:45pm Stanley: Hi Tuney
	12:46pm arb: hi ngh & yvang!
	12:47pm Tony Coulter: ↳ northguineahills @12:41 Are you sure? Taking a quick look, I don't see any way to download "Nouvelle Recette." Also, for titles I just see things that seem more like reference numbers than actual titles.
	12:48pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Stanley Yelnats!
	12:48pm coelacanth∅: cd jewel case; tdk cassette; other cassette; knotty pine...
	12:49pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, coel!
	12:49pm coelacanth∅: hi Tony and hyssterical hisstorians
	12:51pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:49 hola coel!
	🥁 12:52pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:47 If you click on the titles of songs in the middle column you get the mp3s
	12:53pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @12:52 Aha -- thanks!
	🥁 12:53pm David (in London): ↳ Stanley @12:45 Ahoy Stanloid!
	12:57pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Greetings Tony and all. Very nice!
	12:57pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Oleh!
	12:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:47 the references are what are used as titles (as w/ most of the other releases shown). click on the track to stream. when it starts to play, click on the the three dots to the right of the player. there will be an option to download the mp3.
	1:00pm Tony Coulter: ↳ northguineahills @12:57 yes, I see that now. It's weird/annoying they don't let you download the whole thing all at once. As for the titles, you're probably right -- maybe my copy of the cassette is missing an insert -- or maybe they came up with the titles later.
	1:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "side A (no track titles)" by "Marcel Kanche" Aimer l'Eunuque Avant de Glauquer has been reissued on cd... but can also be found here: mutant-sounds.blogspot.com...
	1:04pm Tony Coulter: ↳ northguineahills @1:03 As mentioned, the CD reissue sounds terrible -- that's why I decided to play the original tape!
	1:05pm JtotheK: Ahoy everyone!
	1:05pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, Captain JtotheK!
	1:06pm JtotheK: Tony! I'm reading a book "Rip It Up and Start Again - Postpunk 1978-1984." And - I have a tape hiss request!
	1:07pm Tony Coulter: Request away!
	1:08pm JtotheK: "...But the label's strongest conceptual statement was releasing a cacophonous cassette by the Teen Vampires, much of which consisted of an argument between the singer and the bassist. Kif described it as 'the worst tape I've ever heard'. But he felt compelled to release it 'just because it was so awful.' "
	1:09pm JtotheK: ^ That description sounds incredible!
	1:09pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Reaching for Something Routine" by "Glorious Mood... I just heard KBOO FM mentioned. An independent station in Portland.
	1:09pm Tony Coulter: Ha! Don't have that one -- but now I'll be on the hunt for it.
	🥁 1:13pm David (in London): ↳ JtotheK @1:08 That sounds akin to The Troggs Tapes.
	1:13pm JtotheK: Quoting a bit more from the book. "There were even a handful of cassette-only labels, such as Smellytapes and Deleted Records. The absolute kingpin of this microscene, its Rough Trade, was Fuck Off Records. Fuck Off was run by Kif Kif, formerly of the hippie band Here and Now." . . . "The label's star act was Danny and the Dressmakers." ... "The label catalog boasted over 30 cassettes." So - anything from any of those labels would also be a request!
	1:14pm Tony Coulter: ↳ TDK60 @1:09 Indeed. The station's Rich Lindsay, who has a new show on the Drummer stream, is also on KBOO. I've hung out at KBOO a bit, and did one (or two?) guest shows there.
	1:16pm Tony Coulter: ↳ JtotheK @1:13 I have played at least one tape on Deleted. I dig both Deleted and Fuck Off -- but those tapes are hard to find.
	1:18pm coelacanth∅: olá Andrew! hola Oleh!
	1:21pm Tony Coulter: Here are two KBOO shows I'd recommend if you like the more experimental end of things: kboo.fm... kboo.fm...
	1:22pm TDK60: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:14 Tony: Ah, I didn't know about the new Drummer show by Rich L. Great! What day? // I lived there 2006-'09, volunteered at KBOO a bit, helping the music director label the genres of incoming music, after listening. That was arbitrary fun, hee.
	1:24pm northguineahills: ↳ JtotheK @1:08 yeah, we need to hear that one!
	1:25pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @1:22 Along with music, I listened to the leftist/progressive political KBOO shows too.
	🥁 1:25pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "Prelude (Torn Between 2 Bipeds)" by "Bomis Prendin" Was introduced to BP via the Nurse with Wound list.
	1:27pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Howdy Coelcanth
	1:27pm JtotheK: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:16 Yeah, the way I understood it was that these were mail-order and not released in large qty's. I figured you'd be familiar and likely have featured some! thanks!
	1:27pm Tony Coulter: ↳ TDK60 @1:22 Rich's new Drummer show starts on May 5, and will air every Friday evening, from 9pm to midnight. By the way, I'm talking about Rich in Washington.
	1:30pm northguineahills: ↳ David (in London) @1:25 and yet, my randomly selective memory has no recollection of his name...
	1:38pm TDK60: Is this Vacation A or B? Either way, sounds like fun.
	1:39pm Tony Coulter: That was vacation B!
	1:40pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:39 This has a lovely twiddle and chug!
	🥁 1:41pm David (in London): ↳ TDK60 @1:38 Vacation A was really rainy and ended in a massive argument, so Tony must have skipped that one...
	🥁 1:43pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "38 Angry Tigers" by "Bomis Prendin" I remember that BP described themselves as “the band that put the harm in harmony, and the odious in melodious."
	1:44pm TDK60: ↳ David (in London) @1:41 DiL: Heehoo.
	1:48pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Prendin is such cool entity from those great days. Tony are you familiar with Peter Catham and PS O’neil and the Chains ofHell Orchestra. When I have the ambition and can brave the cobwebs under our basement stairs,Iknow I have a trove of cassettes somewhere in the boxes
	1:50pm TDK60: ↳ David (in London) @1:43 Was just investigating this combo. "The first time you listen to the music of Bomis Prendin, you might not like it. You might even hate it. But it will be too late by then. Because Bomis Prendin’s music contains powerful psychoacoustic resonant frequencies that actually alter your brain waves as you listen. The result? Soon, you will love Bomis Prendin’s music;" bomisprendin.com
	1:50pm rw: Hello!!
	1:50pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Oleh from Pittsburgh @1:48 I do know Peter Catham -- but have never heard of PS O’neil and the Chains of Hell Orchestra!
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: ↳ rw @1:50 Hiya, rw!
	🥁 1:53pm David (in London): ↳ TDK60 @1:50 Ha ha, that must be the secret of their 'success'.
	1:55pm TDK60: ↳ David (in London) @1:53 Dil: Yes, their very secret success.
	🥁 1:56pm WR: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:27 wfmu.org... Rich in Washington had a show on WFMU Sheena's stream for over 4 years on Friday nights.
	1:57pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @1:56 Very true. But now he's joined the Drummer team. We gave Sheena an 800-pound Samoan linebacker in return.
	🥁 2:00pm Yvang: ↳ TDK60 @1:55 I like how threatening it is, also this could apply to listening to WFMU.
	🥁 2:11pm David (in London): That was sodding marvellous Tony, thanks for playing that.
	2:12pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @2:11 It is a great cassette. They really should reissue it.
	🥁 2:15pm David (in London): ↳ Song: "The Zombies Come Home" by "Gargoyle Mechanique" Liking this very much too. A little O Yuki Conjugate perhaps? The sound of Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent returning to their gaff.
	2:17pm Mr. Oxford: Hello Tony, hello all!
	2:17pm Tony Coulter: ↳ David (in London) @2:15 Had to look up "gaff": "A gaff is a piece of fabric, usually augmented by an elastic such as a rubber band, that is designed to hide a penile bulge. It is usually worn by trans women or male cross-dressers. Since the 2010s, underwear manufacturers have begun to design underwear with the same function as gaffs."
	2:18pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:17 Hi there, Mr. Oxford!
	🥁 2:18pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @2:17 Informal British slang for your dwelling, too.
	🥁 2:19pm David (in London): Hello Mr Oxford, salutations to you.
	2:20pm Mr. Oxford: Tony, perhaps you've already answered this question: why are the Tape Hiss shows not archived? Is there a particular reason?
	2:21pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ David (in London) @2:19 Salutations to you too good sir,, David (in London).
	2:23pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mr. Oxford
	2:24pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:20 It's because I play entire releases and sometimes unreleased stuff -- legally, it's safer not to archive the show (lawsuits happen). However, this particular show will be archived.
	2:25pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:24 Understood, thanks. And good to know this particular show will br archived! Enjoying this particular track.
	2:27pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:23 Greetings coelacanth∅!
	🥁 2:27pm wormington hermit: This tape is truly wonderful. Makes me wish I had a more open musical mind in the 80s. Better late than never I s'pose.
	2:29pm Tony Coulter: ↳ wormington hermit @2:27 Gargoyle Mechanique was sort of a theater group too. Their audio play "House of Dogs" is a classic.
	🥁 2:32pm wormington hermit: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:29 I'm intrigued! Cool- I just found it on YT. Will save for later!
	🥁 2:33pm David (in London): Thanks for that steer Tony, will definitely give that one a listen as well.
	2:34pm TDK60: I have to leave early. Extra groovy smash hits today, Tony!
	2:35pm Tony Coulter: See you, TDK60!
	2:39pm Andrew in Toronto: What a wonderful show! Thanks Tony!
	2:39pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Song: "Potty" by "Gargoyle Mechanique" The fact that the title made me laugh when it appeared on the playlist makes me realize how immature I am.
	2:40pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:39 Thanks, Andrew!
	2:41pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Great tape his show! Laying on my bed listening with my EarPods on
	2:42pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Man that time flew fast
	🥁 2:45pm Julie: Hi Tony! I'll be right here when y'all are done wfmu.org...
	2:45pm rw: Thanks as always Tony!!
	2:45pm spodiodi: thanks, Tony! loved the show today
	2:45pm Tony Coulter: hey, Julie!!
	2:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Kristin" by "Niala Effen (= Alain Neffe)" sounds like tortoise sampled this...
	2:45pm Mr. Oxford: Thank you, Tony! Great show!
	🥁 2:48pm wormington hermit: Great show thanx TC.
	2:48pm pot8o: thanks Tony! have a great week everyone!
	🥁 2:49pm Yvang: Thanks Tony. This has been a great Best of Tape Hiss. I hope you will do another one in the near future.
	🥁 2:50pm David (in London): Yeah, absolute banger of a show today Tony.
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @2:49 I probably will -- because it does bother me a bit that so many fine tapes slip back into the void after being played once.
	2:52pm Tony Coulter: (played once here, I mean.)
	2:53pm JtotheK: enjoyed the programme, tony - thanks! cheers everyone.
	🥁 2:53pm Yvang: Do you know there's another different but great cassette show sometimes on WFMU freeform.wfmu.org...
	2:54pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @2:53 I didn't know that! Will have to listen. Thanks!
	2:55pm Mr. Oxford: ↳ Yvang @2:53 DIdn't know about this. Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing, Yvang.
	2:55pm Mr. Oxford: So many shows on WFMU, so little time to listen to them all.
	🥁 2:57pm Yvang: ↳ Mr. Oxford @2:55 Yes we would need several human lifetimes.
	2:57pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Great show
	2:57pm northguineahills: thanks Tony!
	2:57pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for showing up, everyone!
	2:57pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Time goes so damn fast when good music is on damn
	2:58pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: See you next week Mr Coulter
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Tony!
