WFMU: Tony Coulter: Playlist from August 20, 2024

Listener comments!
	11:44am Tony Coulter: Hello, all! Does anyone recognize today's mystery LP-under-the-cassettes?
	11:48am Dean: I recognize it, but that's because I visited your playlist earlier today. If I had to guess the album, I'd say The Monkees' first.
	11:53am Tony Coulter: Nope, this album was not made by monkeys. (Hiya, Dean!)
	11:53am Tony Coulter: It is from the '60s, though.
	11:58am Tony Coulter: And it was made by primates.
	12:00pm Dean: Primates, huh? That narrows the field quite a bit.
	12:01pm Tony Coulter: The band's biggest hit was "Rhythm of the Rain", recorded in 1962. This LP, from 1968, was their attempt to go psychedelic (sort of).
	12:01pm listener james from westwood: How do, Tony and all primates!
	12:01pm Tony Coulter: James! Hey there!
	12:01pm Yvang: Hi Tony, welcome back, I hope Justice was served.
	12:02pm Andrew in Toronto: Good afternoon, Tony, and all other listeners!
	12:02pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Yvang! Justice was upheld, more or less.
	12:02pm Tony Coulter: Hola, Andrew!
	12:02pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @12:01 Hi, Yvang!
	12:03pm Yvang: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:02 Hi Andrew!
	12:04pm listener james from westwood: Hah!
	12:05pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:01 After the massive HINT by Tony I think I can put the link to the discogs page:www.discogs.com...
	12:05pm Webhamster Henry: Spondu - not to be confused with Spandau Ballet.
	12:06pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @12:05 You got it, Yvang!
	12:06pm Rich in Washington: Ha ha! I just said "Hi Tony" on the wrong playlist. Doh! Hi Tony!
	12:06pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:05 Hey, Henry! Spondu Ballet
	12:07pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:06 Rich! Rich!
	12:08pm Yvang: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:06 Hi Rich! I do this all the time! I even comment on tracks played on other radio stations.
	12:09pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Song: "My Mame Is Xar" by "Tercio Polo Vonrui Robot" It's probably a typo, but the first track is indeed listed as "My Mame," rather than "My Name." I write what I see.
	12:10pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:09 Or it's a meme.
	12:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Yvang @12:08 Hi Yvang! It's also reassuring that it's such a common WFMU-related mistake that no one in the playlist chastises one for it - at least not in type
	12:12pm Dean: "You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame, You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame..."
	12:18pm Webhamster Henry: Nice collection here...
	12:21pm Tony Coulter: Of listeners? Or tracks on this comp?
	12:23pm Andres: Hi, Tony. Sounding great!
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: Interestingly, this Richmond Fontaine track has been played on FMU before (so accuplaylist autofill tells me).
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andres @12:23 Hi, Andres!
	12:33pm Rich in Washington: I think Richmond Fontaine is the only artist I recognize on this comp.
	12:36pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:33 I was going to ask if you recognize any of these bands. I think they were likely all from Portland.
	12:37pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Tony!
	12:38pm Tony Coulter: Morning, Summer and Michael and Sylvia!
	12:39pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:36 This is wonderful!
	12:40pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:39 Glad you like it! Wish I knew more about this tape, and these bands.
	12:41pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:36 Sidecar rings a bell but perhaps there were more than one band with that name. Unfortunately, I was so out of the loop throughout much of the nineties, local music wise, being fully immersed in child raising, school and terrible jobs.
	12:42pm Dean: In the Missoula Independent, Sept. 28, 2000, a review of The Fucking Champs concludes, "And, in the liner notes to III, the erstwhile [4AM 95 actually thank The Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl and Rictus of Cruel Malignance. I don't even know what that is. I just know it's cool." [4AM 95 is "Champs," by the way.
	12:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Comin' Round the Bend" by "(The Gob)" I think this band is from Victoria BC.
	12:43pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dean @12:42 Interesting!
	12:45pm Dean: I saw the Champs a long time ago at a house party in Oakland. Man, they were good.
	12:45pm WR: Dig nab it. Looks (and sounds) like an interesting hiss tape I've miss in the first 3/4 hours. Hi Tony and folks.
	12:46pm Tony Coulter: Hey hi ho, WR!
	12:47pm Dean: On III, they also thank "the city of Portland, Oregon." Drag City reissued III in '23. Dig the label: https://shorturl.at/Lldrz
	12:50pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Comin' Round the Bend" by "(The Gob)" They’re from Reno. Found a collection on bandcamp, gob (Reno 1991-1996).
	12:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Andres @12:50 Nice! Thanks! There's another Gob from around that time described on Discogs as ".. The band's trademark sound relies heavily on crunchy, distorted guitars..: so I just assumed.
	12:52pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Our Swords Are Thirsty" by "The Glacial Rift of t... This band's name comes from a classic Dungeons & Dragons adventure! High geekery getting some respect in the mid-90s! archive.org... Where's Handy Haversack when you need him?
	12:54pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:52 I guess there are gobs of Gobs.
	12:55pm Tony Coulter: ↳ listener james from westwood @12:52 Aha!! Thanks, James!
	12:56pm Andres: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:52 After you mentioned the Canadian punks I had to go digging. I was left wondering how their sound was so different from what I remembered. :)
	1:05pm Tony Coulter: The Catsup Plate label was/is from Swarthmore, PA. I'm not familiar with any of the included artists, outside of this tape -- except for Bügsküll, who's from Portland.
	1:08pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Hooly Hoo Tony and all
	1:08pm egould: ↳ Song: "Your Girlfriend" by "Flinge" That was strum and thrum. Hi Tony! Hi everybody!
	1:08pm Tony Coulter: High Low, Oleh!
	1:09pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, egould!
	1:10pm doctorjazz: Hi Tony and streamers out there!
	1:11pm Tony Coulter: Hey, hey, Dr. J!
	1:17pm listener james from westwood: Can't hear that tune without thinking of the SNL episode where they had William Shatner as the subject of the ballad, "Ollie North, the Mute Marine," after he dodged questions on Iran–Contra.
	1:19pm Tony Coulter: ↳ listener james from westwood @1:17 Missed that one! Will have to seek it out on Utub.
	1:31pm Andres: This side has got some serious Lou Barlow vibes thus far. Digging.
	1:34pm David (in London): Afternoon Tony and assembled Coultards: Dean, James, Yvang, Andrew, Henry, Rich, S&M&S, WR, Andres, egould, Doc.
	1:34pm Tony Coulter: Greets, David!
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: greetings Tony, hisstorians
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Hola hey hello, coel-io!
	1:37pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:35 Hey Coela. What's the news from the dark watery depths?
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @1:37 olá David. -well, new water's coming in more and more but the bottom seems to be getting higher too
	1:41pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andres @1:31 Well, yes, Andres, I am thinking of this whole show as a special '90s lo-fi/indie rock edition of Tape Hiss.
	1:43pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:41 Tho the next tape will get a lot more agressively bizarre.
	1:44pm Dean: I accompanied my son to the DMV a week or so ago. We had the best experience! The guy who helped us was funny, patient, informative, and committed to serving us. Is that bizarre, or what?
	1:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @1:44 My local DMV is really quick and efficient. I had to change a bunch of stuff when I moved recently and it was a really pleasant experience.
	1:49pm egould: ↳ Rich in Washington @1:47 The DMV in Washington state has been a surprisingly pleasant experience.
	1:51pm Dean: This is encouraging! I can also confirm that Seattle city government has in the past been very responsive and helpful to requests I've made of them. Years ago, when I paid a nanny, I had to deal routinely with California's EDD and the federal IRS. Both agencies were entirely effective. So much for the stereotypes.
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: Forget Disney World -- the new place to go for a fun time is the DMV.
	1:53pm egould: Let's get fucked up...
	1:55pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @1:52 If you fancy some international travel, I can recommend the DVLC in the UK, too. As one reviewer says: "This is the most unprofessional government agency I've dealt with." A fun vacation at the Orbital Business Park for all the family.
	1:56pm spodiodi: greetings, Tony and all
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, spodi!
	2:03pm Tony Coulter: I've played at least one Cave Clown Microwave cassette on Tape Hisses past.
	2:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ David (in London) @1:34 Hi DiL!
	2:07pm Yvang: ↳ David (in London) @1:34 Heya David de Londres!
	2:08pm Matt en Queens: Howdy all! First time checking out this show.
	2:08pm egould: ↳ Matt en Queens @2:08 Strap your ears down. It's about to get hissy in here!
	2:09pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Matt en Queens @2:08 Hey, Matt! Welcome!
	2:10pm Matt en Queens: Thank you Tony. So far so good!
	2:10pm David (in London): ↳ Matt en Queens @2:08 Hey Matt.
	2:11pm Matt en Queens: Hi Dave - good to see you
	2:11pm Matt en Queens: So to speak
	2:14pm egould: ↳ Song: "Conformity" by "Everything Eats a Squirrel" You know what else sucks?
	2:15pm Tony Coulter: ↳ egould @2:14 umm ... what?
	2:16pm Matt en Queens: I was accused of eating a squirrel out of the shared college house freezer about 25 years ago. They thought I came home drunk, thawed out the squirrel and cooked it. If they really knew me, they would know that when drunk that is far too much work. I ran into my fellow housemates at a funeral (unfortunately for a former housemate) last year and the squirrel thing came up again. Again, I had no dining relationships with that squirrel!
	2:17pm Matt en Queens: Band name “everything eats a squirrel” made me think of it
	2:17pm egould: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:15 The song 'Conformity' by Everything Eats a Squirrel.
	2:18pm Dean: You mean, @Matt en Queens, that it reminded you of the time you ate that squirrel.
	2:20pm Dean: By the way, I took my son to the DMV to get him a learner's permit. He proceeded thereafter to fly to Portland, OR, to hang out with cousins for more than a week, during which time he drove all over town. Good to know he didn't cause an accident or pick up any WFMU DJ hitchhikers.
	2:21pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dean @2:20 Or eat any squirrels, presumably.
	2:23pm Matt en Queens: I had no mandibular relations with any squirrel
	2:24pm David (in London): Elvis was fond of squirrel if I recall rightly.
	2:25pm egould: A couple of years ago in Portland, I saw a river otter running down the street. It was raining like hell, and there he was splashing and tromping through puddles on NE Sandy Blvd. Otters are good eatin'!
	2:27pm rw: Hello!
	2:28pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, rw!
	2:29pm Dean: According to Are You Hungry Tonight?, a book I have right here on my office bookshelf, Elvis liked "Oriental" food.
	2:29pm rw: I told my squirrel story on some other comment board the other day. Won’t repeat it here. Enjoying the ‘90s comps. I like the band name: The Popsicle Melts.
	2:30pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dean @2:29 And, of course, Elvis loved peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwiches.
	2:31pm rw: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:30 Nothing better. Elvis and me both.
	2:32pm Dean: The book includes a recipe for fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. No bacon.
	2:33pm Matt en Queens: Egould - you otter verify that
	2:36pm spodiodi: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:30 hadn't heard bacon too. but had a fied peanut buttere and banana sandwich one night while in Memphis
	2:36pm Tony Coulter: Per wiki: "Presley's fondness for peanut butter and banana sandwiches is well established; however, bacon is not mentioned in all accounts.[7] A book about Presley and his mother, Gladys Presley, though, says he had "sandwich after sandwich of his favorite—peanut butter, sliced bananas, and crisp bacon". Another passage describes him talking "feverishly until dawn" while "wolfing" down the sandwiches (described in this instance as being made with mashed banana).[8] A news report suggests that, based on renditions of sandwiches named after him, Presley ate his with caramelized bananas and crispy bacon on grilled Hawaiian bread, and grilled by his mother or his cook in bacon fat."
	2:38pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:36 Now that's what I call healthy eating.
	2:40pm Andres: My kids are fond of sliced banana and PB sandwiches. They think they invented it. I’m not sure of their familiarity with Elvis.
	2:41pm ?: 👋 hi hissing kidz (& Mr C): is this “eerie boutique” cassette known to be a variety of artists or is it secretly one guy (& friends)?
	2:42pm Tony Coulter: ↳ @2:41 Hiya! It is the work of different artists -- but some likely have overlapping personnel.
	2:44pm Andres: I think the red squirrel in my backyard wants to eat the grey squirrel. Sure behaves that way. Horrible beast.
	2:46pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:42 And they Say you don't really play fork!
	2:47pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "I'm a Freshman" by "Fork Knife Spoon" Comment related to
	2:47pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @2:46 Only when accompanied by knife and spoon.
	2:47pm Julie: Eerie Boutique would be a great name for a radio show
	2:48pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Julie!
	2:48pm Julie: I'll be right here when Tony's tapes run out wfmu.org...
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:42 Shades of the PhonoStatic cassette series where there's a lot of overlap of various members of Tape Beatles.
	2:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Julie @2:48 Yay! BTW - thanks again for subbing for me!
	2:49pm Dean: My dad ate peanut butter and pickle sandwiches.
	2:49pm Julie: ↳ Julie @2:47 the label is Hawaiian that was unexpected
	2:49pm Julie: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:49 no problem, I love a night slot!
	2:50pm egould: Speaking of food. I'm living the bachelor life this week, so I think I'm going to get a cheeseburger for lunch. Then I'm going over to the grocery and buy stuff to make a cheeseburger for dinner. No one can stop me. :-)
	2:51pm Dean: He also used to make a marvelous cucumber and onion salad dressed in oil and vinegar. I recently saw something similar in the NYT, and it made me think of my dad.
	2:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an excellent show! Thanks, Tony!
	2:52pm egould: Thank you Tony. That was pretty cool music.
	2:52pm David (in London): Thanks Tonio. Later Coultards.
	2:53pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Kill Kill Die Kill Die Die Kill" by "Everything E... my kinda title
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ egould @2:50 A cheeseburger also meets all the nutritional requirements for a great breakfast, too.
	2:54pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Have a good week!
	2:54pm Andres: Great stuff! Thanks for digging up these cassettes, Tony!
	2:55pm doctorjazz: I'm going to grab me a cheeseburger and (don't like bananas-maybe a bacon cheesburger, damn the cardiologist!) Thanks, Tony
	2:55pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everybody! Stay tuned for Julie and see you next week!
	2:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:52 Hi Andrew!
	2:55pm Julie: rats now I want a burger
	2:56pm Yvang: Thanks Tony for this low/-fi, indie edition of tape hiss tuesday!
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Tony! Wonderfully hissy show today!
	2:57pm rw: Thanks Tony! U R O K 2. Later everyone!
	3:02pm WR: Thank you! Tony!
	3:06pm ?=Erik/VT (Ooops): ↳ Song: "Fur Is Good, Grow Your Own" by "Kingdom Scum" I think this track utilized a Nino Rota sample (coulda been the nearby tracks though). Loved the vibe of this “eerie boutique” cassette! - hoping to find a bit more info via Discogs. (Unfortunately missed yer intro today). ✌️

Listener comments!
	11:44am Tony Coulter: Hello, all! Does anyone recognize today's mystery LP-under-the-cassettes?
	11:48am Dean: I recognize it, but that's because I visited your playlist earlier today. If I had to guess the album, I'd say The Monkees' first.
	11:53am Tony Coulter: Nope, this album was not made by monkeys. (Hiya, Dean!)
	11:53am Tony Coulter: It is from the '60s, though.
	11:58am Tony Coulter: And it was made by primates.
	12:00pm Dean: Primates, huh? That narrows the field quite a bit.
	12:01pm Tony Coulter: The band's biggest hit was "Rhythm of the Rain", recorded in 1962. This LP, from 1968, was their attempt to go psychedelic (sort of).
	12:01pm listener james from westwood: How do, Tony and all primates!
	12:01pm Tony Coulter: James! Hey there!
	12:01pm Yvang: Hi Tony, welcome back, I hope Justice was served.
	12:02pm Andrew in Toronto: Good afternoon, Tony, and all other listeners!
	12:02pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Yvang! Justice was upheld, more or less.
	12:02pm Tony Coulter: Hola, Andrew!
	12:02pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @12:01 Hi, Yvang!
	12:03pm Yvang: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:02 Hi Andrew!
	12:04pm listener james from westwood: Hah!
	12:05pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:01 After the massive HINT by Tony I think I can put the link to the discogs page:www.discogs.com...
	12:05pm Webhamster Henry: Spondu - not to be confused with Spandau Ballet.
	12:06pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @12:05 You got it, Yvang!
	12:06pm Rich in Washington: Ha ha! I just said "Hi Tony" on the wrong playlist. Doh! Hi Tony!
	12:06pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:05 Hey, Henry! Spondu Ballet
	12:07pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:06 Rich! Rich!
	12:08pm Yvang: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:06 Hi Rich! I do this all the time! I even comment on tracks played on other radio stations.
	12:09pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Song: "My Mame Is Xar" by "Tercio Polo Vonrui Robot" It's probably a typo, but the first track is indeed listed as "My Mame," rather than "My Name." I write what I see.
	12:10pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:09 Or it's a meme.
	12:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Yvang @12:08 Hi Yvang! It's also reassuring that it's such a common WFMU-related mistake that no one in the playlist chastises one for it - at least not in type
	12:12pm Dean: "You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame, You charm the husk right off of the corn, Mame..."
	12:18pm Webhamster Henry: Nice collection here...
	12:21pm Tony Coulter: Of listeners? Or tracks on this comp?
	12:23pm Andres: Hi, Tony. Sounding great!
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: Interestingly, this Richmond Fontaine track has been played on FMU before (so accuplaylist autofill tells me).
	12:23pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andres @12:23 Hi, Andres!
	12:33pm Rich in Washington: I think Richmond Fontaine is the only artist I recognize on this comp.
	12:36pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:33 I was going to ask if you recognize any of these bands. I think they were likely all from Portland.
	12:37pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Good morning-ish, Tony!
	12:38pm Tony Coulter: Morning, Summer and Michael and Sylvia!
	12:39pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:36 This is wonderful!
	12:40pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:39 Glad you like it! Wish I knew more about this tape, and these bands.
	12:41pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:36 Sidecar rings a bell but perhaps there were more than one band with that name. Unfortunately, I was so out of the loop throughout much of the nineties, local music wise, being fully immersed in child raising, school and terrible jobs.
	12:42pm Dean: In the Missoula Independent, Sept. 28, 2000, a review of The Fucking Champs concludes, "And, in the liner notes to III, the erstwhile [4AM 95 actually thank The Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl and Rictus of Cruel Malignance. I don't even know what that is. I just know it's cool." [4AM 95 is "Champs," by the way.
	12:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Comin' Round the Bend" by "(The Gob)" I think this band is from Victoria BC.
	12:43pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dean @12:42 Interesting!
	12:45pm Dean: I saw the Champs a long time ago at a house party in Oakland. Man, they were good.
	12:45pm WR: Dig nab it. Looks (and sounds) like an interesting hiss tape I've miss in the first 3/4 hours. Hi Tony and folks.
	12:46pm Tony Coulter: Hey hi ho, WR!
	12:47pm Dean: On III, they also thank "the city of Portland, Oregon." Drag City reissued III in '23. Dig the label: https://shorturl.at/Lldrz
	12:50pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Comin' Round the Bend" by "(The Gob)" They’re from Reno. Found a collection on bandcamp, gob (Reno 1991-1996).
	12:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Andres @12:50 Nice! Thanks! There's another Gob from around that time described on Discogs as ".. The band's trademark sound relies heavily on crunchy, distorted guitars..: so I just assumed.
	12:52pm listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Our Swords Are Thirsty" by "The Glacial Rift of t... This band's name comes from a classic Dungeons & Dragons adventure! High geekery getting some respect in the mid-90s! archive.org... Where's Handy Haversack when you need him?
	12:54pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:52 I guess there are gobs of Gobs.
	12:55pm Tony Coulter: ↳ listener james from westwood @12:52 Aha!! Thanks, James!
	12:56pm Andres: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:52 After you mentioned the Canadian punks I had to go digging. I was left wondering how their sound was so different from what I remembered. :)
	1:05pm Tony Coulter: The Catsup Plate label was/is from Swarthmore, PA. I'm not familiar with any of the included artists, outside of this tape -- except for Bügsküll, who's from Portland.
	1:08pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Hooly Hoo Tony and all
	1:08pm egould: ↳ Song: "Your Girlfriend" by "Flinge" That was strum and thrum. Hi Tony! Hi everybody!
	1:08pm Tony Coulter: High Low, Oleh!
	1:09pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, egould!
	1:10pm doctorjazz: Hi Tony and streamers out there!
	1:11pm Tony Coulter: Hey, hey, Dr. J!
	1:17pm listener james from westwood: Can't hear that tune without thinking of the SNL episode where they had William Shatner as the subject of the ballad, "Ollie North, the Mute Marine," after he dodged questions on Iran–Contra.
	1:19pm Tony Coulter: ↳ listener james from westwood @1:17 Missed that one! Will have to seek it out on Utub.
	1:31pm Andres: This side has got some serious Lou Barlow vibes thus far. Digging.
	1:34pm David (in London): Afternoon Tony and assembled Coultards: Dean, James, Yvang, Andrew, Henry, Rich, S&M&S, WR, Andres, egould, Doc.
	1:34pm Tony Coulter: Greets, David!
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: greetings Tony, hisstorians
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Hola hey hello, coel-io!
	1:37pm David (in London): ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:35 Hey Coela. What's the news from the dark watery depths?
	1:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ David (in London) @1:37 olá David. -well, new water's coming in more and more but the bottom seems to be getting higher too
	1:41pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andres @1:31 Well, yes, Andres, I am thinking of this whole show as a special '90s lo-fi/indie rock edition of Tape Hiss.
	1:43pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:41 Tho the next tape will get a lot more agressively bizarre.
	1:44pm Dean: I accompanied my son to the DMV a week or so ago. We had the best experience! The guy who helped us was funny, patient, informative, and committed to serving us. Is that bizarre, or what?
	1:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @1:44 My local DMV is really quick and efficient. I had to change a bunch of stuff when I moved recently and it was a really pleasant experience.
	1:49pm egould: ↳ Rich in Washington @1:47 The DMV in Washington state has been a surprisingly pleasant experience.
	1:51pm Dean: This is encouraging! I can also confirm that Seattle city government has in the past been very responsive and helpful to requests I've made of them. Years ago, when I paid a nanny, I had to deal routinely with California's EDD and the federal IRS. Both agencies were entirely effective. So much for the stereotypes.
	1:52pm Tony Coulter: Forget Disney World -- the new place to go for a fun time is the DMV.
	1:53pm egould: Let's get fucked up...
	1:55pm David (in London): ↳ Tony Coulter @1:52 If you fancy some international travel, I can recommend the DVLC in the UK, too. As one reviewer says: "This is the most unprofessional government agency I've dealt with." A fun vacation at the Orbital Business Park for all the family.
	1:56pm spodiodi: greetings, Tony and all
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: Greetings, spodi!
	2:03pm Tony Coulter: I've played at least one Cave Clown Microwave cassette on Tape Hisses past.
	2:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ David (in London) @1:34 Hi DiL!
	2:07pm Yvang: ↳ David (in London) @1:34 Heya David de Londres!
	2:08pm Matt en Queens: Howdy all! First time checking out this show.
	2:08pm egould: ↳ Matt en Queens @2:08 Strap your ears down. It's about to get hissy in here!
	2:09pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Matt en Queens @2:08 Hey, Matt! Welcome!
	2:10pm Matt en Queens: Thank you Tony. So far so good!
	2:10pm David (in London): ↳ Matt en Queens @2:08 Hey Matt.
	2:11pm Matt en Queens: Hi Dave - good to see you
	2:11pm Matt en Queens: So to speak
	2:14pm egould: ↳ Song: "Conformity" by "Everything Eats a Squirrel" You know what else sucks?
	2:15pm Tony Coulter: ↳ egould @2:14 umm ... what?
	2:16pm Matt en Queens: I was accused of eating a squirrel out of the shared college house freezer about 25 years ago. They thought I came home drunk, thawed out the squirrel and cooked it. If they really knew me, they would know that when drunk that is far too much work. I ran into my fellow housemates at a funeral (unfortunately for a former housemate) last year and the squirrel thing came up again. Again, I had no dining relationships with that squirrel!
	2:17pm Matt en Queens: Band name “everything eats a squirrel” made me think of it
	2:17pm egould: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:15 The song 'Conformity' by Everything Eats a Squirrel.
	2:18pm Dean: You mean, @Matt en Queens, that it reminded you of the time you ate that squirrel.
	2:20pm Dean: By the way, I took my son to the DMV to get him a learner's permit. He proceeded thereafter to fly to Portland, OR, to hang out with cousins for more than a week, during which time he drove all over town. Good to know he didn't cause an accident or pick up any WFMU DJ hitchhikers.
	2:21pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dean @2:20 Or eat any squirrels, presumably.
	2:23pm Matt en Queens: I had no mandibular relations with any squirrel
	2:24pm David (in London): Elvis was fond of squirrel if I recall rightly.
	2:25pm egould: A couple of years ago in Portland, I saw a river otter running down the street. It was raining like hell, and there he was splashing and tromping through puddles on NE Sandy Blvd. Otters are good eatin'!
	2:27pm rw: Hello!
	2:28pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, rw!
	2:29pm Dean: According to Are You Hungry Tonight?, a book I have right here on my office bookshelf, Elvis liked "Oriental" food.
	2:29pm rw: I told my squirrel story on some other comment board the other day. Won’t repeat it here. Enjoying the ‘90s comps. I like the band name: The Popsicle Melts.
	2:30pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dean @2:29 And, of course, Elvis loved peanut butter, banana, and bacon sandwiches.
	2:31pm rw: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:30 Nothing better. Elvis and me both.
	2:32pm Dean: The book includes a recipe for fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. No bacon.
	2:33pm Matt en Queens: Egould - you otter verify that
	2:36pm spodiodi: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:30 hadn't heard bacon too. but had a fied peanut buttere and banana sandwich one night while in Memphis
	2:36pm Tony Coulter: Per wiki: "Presley's fondness for peanut butter and banana sandwiches is well established; however, bacon is not mentioned in all accounts.[7] A book about Presley and his mother, Gladys Presley, though, says he had "sandwich after sandwich of his favorite—peanut butter, sliced bananas, and crisp bacon". Another passage describes him talking "feverishly until dawn" while "wolfing" down the sandwiches (described in this instance as being made with mashed banana).[8] A news report suggests that, based on renditions of sandwiches named after him, Presley ate his with caramelized bananas and crispy bacon on grilled Hawaiian bread, and grilled by his mother or his cook in bacon fat."
	2:38pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:36 Now that's what I call healthy eating.
	2:40pm Andres: My kids are fond of sliced banana and PB sandwiches. They think they invented it. I’m not sure of their familiarity with Elvis.
	2:41pm ?: 👋 hi hissing kidz (& Mr C): is this “eerie boutique” cassette known to be a variety of artists or is it secretly one guy (& friends)?
	2:42pm Tony Coulter: ↳ @2:41 Hiya! It is the work of different artists -- but some likely have overlapping personnel.
	2:44pm Andres: I think the red squirrel in my backyard wants to eat the grey squirrel. Sure behaves that way. Horrible beast.
	2:46pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:42 And they Say you don't really play fork!
	2:47pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "I'm a Freshman" by "Fork Knife Spoon" Comment related to
	2:47pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Yvang @2:46 Only when accompanied by knife and spoon.
	2:47pm Julie: Eerie Boutique would be a great name for a radio show
	2:48pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Julie!
	2:48pm Julie: I'll be right here when Tony's tapes run out wfmu.org...
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:42 Shades of the PhonoStatic cassette series where there's a lot of overlap of various members of Tape Beatles.
	2:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Julie @2:48 Yay! BTW - thanks again for subbing for me!
	2:49pm Dean: My dad ate peanut butter and pickle sandwiches.
	2:49pm Julie: ↳ Julie @2:47 the label is Hawaiian that was unexpected
	2:49pm Julie: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:49 no problem, I love a night slot!
	2:50pm egould: Speaking of food. I'm living the bachelor life this week, so I think I'm going to get a cheeseburger for lunch. Then I'm going over to the grocery and buy stuff to make a cheeseburger for dinner. No one can stop me. :-)
	2:51pm Dean: He also used to make a marvelous cucumber and onion salad dressed in oil and vinegar. I recently saw something similar in the NYT, and it made me think of my dad.
	2:52pm Andrew in Toronto: What an excellent show! Thanks, Tony!
	2:52pm egould: Thank you Tony. That was pretty cool music.
	2:52pm David (in London): Thanks Tonio. Later Coultards.
	2:53pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Kill Kill Die Kill Die Die Kill" by "Everything E... my kinda title
	2:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ egould @2:50 A cheeseburger also meets all the nutritional requirements for a great breakfast, too.
	2:54pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Have a good week!
	2:54pm Andres: Great stuff! Thanks for digging up these cassettes, Tony!
	2:55pm doctorjazz: I'm going to grab me a cheeseburger and (don't like bananas-maybe a bacon cheesburger, damn the cardiologist!) Thanks, Tony
	2:55pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, everybody! Stay tuned for Julie and see you next week!
	2:55pm doctorjazz: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:52 Hi Andrew!
	2:55pm Julie: rats now I want a burger
	2:56pm Yvang: Thanks Tony for this low/-fi, indie edition of tape hiss tuesday!
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Tony! Wonderfully hissy show today!
	2:57pm rw: Thanks Tony! U R O K 2. Later everyone!
	3:02pm WR: Thank you! Tony!
	3:06pm ?=Erik/VT (Ooops): ↳ Song: "Fur Is Good, Grow Your Own" by "Kingdom Scum" I think this track utilized a Nino Rota sample (coulda been the nearby tracks though). Loved the vibe of this “eerie boutique” cassette! - hoping to find a bit more info via Discogs. (Unfortunately missed yer intro today). ✌️
