Hey Doug,

That Joe's Nose tape features a song about the king of noses, Cyrano de Bergerac.

Hey Jeff,

Glad to see you here!

I'm pretty sure this Tom Burris is not the guy who has a release on Tomato: www.discogs.com...

I know he is the guy who released this cassette: www.discogs.com...
  12:18pm
Dean:

There is a Tom Burris, too, who married Karen Carpenter. Evidently, he was not the most upstanding guy, if stuff I read across the Internet is at all accurate.
Avatar 12:18pm
Jeff Conklin:

That's how to end a tune! Great. I've never heard of this gent.
Avatar 12:22pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey Dean!

Yeah, I gather that Tom Burris the Karen husband is a schmuck. Who knew there were so many Tom Burrises.
  12:23pm
Dean:

The IRS?
Avatar 12:27pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Dean: True, the IRS may have an inch-thick file on the country's Tom Burrises. But I doubt they have the cassette we just heard.
Avatar 12:30pm
Tony Coulter:

Joe's Nose would have been at home on the Wheelchair Full of Old Men label, methinks. Not sure if they ever did manage to officially release anything, though. There are live youtube vids of them from the '80s, but they don't really do them justice.
  12:34pm
Dean:

Eugene Weekly in Feb. 2001 reports that Tom Burris is playing Sam Bond's. Two years later the same paper reports that "phenomenal east coast artists Tom Burris & Jabbering Trout" contributed to a 2-disc CD, "Hold Me Up to the Light," a collection of songs by Peter Wilde, "a local folk music hero." (This is the Tomato guy, I gather.) In August 2004 the Salt Lake City Weekly notes that "singer-songwriters Jerry Joseph and Tom Burris lived here for several years..." Same guy? Or the cassette guy?

Feelies vibe on that last Joe's Nose track. And not so much on this next one.

@ Dean: Have no idea! All I know is today's Tom Burris was based in Indiana when he recorded the tape we heard.

Joe's Nose seems to embody a very quintessential mid-80's DIY sound. Makes me feel a li'l nostalgic.

that previous song sounded like a demented hillbilly version of Birthday Party's Dead Joe.

Tony Coulter:

@ Charlie: To me too -- if not for this show, I might not find the time to listen to them myself!
Avatar 12:56pm
Tony Coulter:

Cassettes are just so hard to dip into, is the thing. Doing this show makes me listen to all these tapes piled up over here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:56pm
Charlie:

I like how so many of Joe's Nose's songs are about Joe's Nose.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:57pm
Charlie:

And playing whole sides of cassettes really gives a feel for the artist. And it means you don't have to find individual tracks to cue up, which can be difficult.
Avatar 1:01pm
Tony Coulter:

Indeed -- cassettes are the least DJ-friendly medium ever, if you just want to play one track in the middle of a tape, on the spur of the moment.
Avatar 1:03pm
Tony Coulter:

... and now a song about the band's hero and inspiration: Super-Nose Cyrano!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:03pm
Rich in Washington:

I don't think I've ever DJ'd with a tape. It's usually more trouble than it's worth and I resort to ripping it to disc.
The tape situation is wonky in KBOO's air-room. You get used to how the one remaining tape machine works and it breaks down and is replaced by another.
Avatar 1:05pm
Sue P.:

How did we survive the 80's? I remember making and listening to cassette mixed tapes and all that stuff. So much time! We must've really liked that stuff. Ha.
Avatar 1:05pm
Sue P.:

Or maybe we didn't have anything better to do!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:07pm
Rich in Washington:

There was this link floating around yesterday, wherein someone at Archive.org had put up 30 gigs of 80s alternative mix tapes.
I thought about it for a minute and thought - I can't keep up with the stuff I currently have - so didn't bother.
Avatar 1:08pm
Tony Coulter:

I have thought about playing mix tapes on Tape Hiss (made by other people, that is). I may still....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:08pm
Rich in Washington:

One had to download the entire archive as a tarball, otherwise, it would've been fun to explore, rather than have the whole thing at once.
Avatar 1:09pm
Tony Coulter:

Sounds way too daunting -- and possibly not worth the effort....

feeling a Tin Huey influence on this RSM track.
Avatar 1:12pm
Tony Coulter:

See what you mean!!
Avatar 1:16pm
Tony Coulter:

I'm sure a good number of the tracks on this cassette are on one RSM comp or another.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:18pm
Rich in Washington:

There was a recent, interesting article about some of RSM's music ending up on a tax shelter record label.

Oh yeah -- the Hotgun LP. That is an interesting article: nightflight.com...

Most of his cassettes/albums are shufflings of old and new material.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:22pm
Charlie:

and covers!
Avatar 1:22pm
Tony Coulter:

Yeah, I assumed as much about this one -- though it does say June/July 1985. Seems unlikely that it would all have been recorded in those two months -- but with RSM you never know.
  1:24pm

I'm impatient: Is "Indian Giver" the 1910 Fruitgum Co. song?

Yes, this perks me right up.

Hi Mayuko! Really enjoyed your show yesterday. (Was finally able to listen in live, as I took the day off due to the sniffles.)
Avatar 1:32pm
Tony Coulter:

Here's another cover for you!
  1:33pm
Dean:

Buddy of mine just sent a link to a soundcloud of Paul Stanley stage banter. Forty-five minutes of the stuff. Kenny G. needs to transcribe it.
  1:34pm
Dean:

My bet, then, is that "Indian Giver" is a cover, too.
Avatar 1:35pm
Cecile:

I like this version. I have another one on a New Rose comp this is also good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:37pm
Rich in Washington:

I keep wanting to delve way deep into Eugene Chadbourne's cassette output but I don't have that many of them.
Avatar 1:37pm
Tony Coulter:

I've got a few -- should play 'em here!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:38pm
JtotheK:

I'm hoping 'indian giver' is a cover of the northern soul track by the Chantels ... on Verve.
Avatar 1:39pm
Mayuko:

oh wow!!! Thank you Tony! Felt like my brain was leaking out with my nose running during the show yesterday. Very hard to concentrate. But probably having sniffling audience tuned into a sniffling show makes it all good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:41pm
JtotheK:

hmmm. doesn't sound like the Chantels track...
  1:42pm
Dean:

Nope, not the 1910 FC one, either.

Ok, that is better. I was watching the pop player which had Liz Bergs play list running it and trying to future out it mapped on to what I was hearing here (two pop-up windows…) Now my world is in better alignment...

Mayuko:

I never knew Indian Giver was a cover. Always loved this song of his (the different version.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:44pm
Charlie:

That Indian Giver is an RSM original, as per www.rsteviemoore.com...
Avatar 1:45pm
Tony Coulter:

It is an original , yes. But coincidentally with a slightly bubble gum beat.

Does the Jim Price in the description have anything to do with FMU Jim Price???
Avatar 1:53pm
Tony Coulter:

Yes! Irwin is also "sensed" -- whatever that means!
Avatar 1:54pm
Tony Coulter:

Irwin plays drums on a bunch of RSM tracks -- though not on any of these, I don't think.
Avatar 1:56pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Charlie: Thanks for the link! Figgered this would still be available in some format.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:01pm
Charlie:

@Mayuko -- Jim and Irwin figure in many rsm recordings. He had a show on 'FMU himself for a while, often with Jim.
Avatar 2:02pm
Mayuko:

Ha!! That is funny - when I started to listen to his music back in Tokyo there was almost no information about him in Japanese and he was a mystery. And suddenly now I'm living in HIS world!
Avatar 2:04pm
Tony Coulter:

Yes, I started tuning into FMU regularly after stumbling on RSM's (great) FMU show. His mic breaks were alarming -- always done in different weird voices.
Avatar 2:05pm
Tony Coulter:

After I realized Fred Frith also had an FMU show, I was hooked.
Avatar 2:06pm
Mayuko:

oh wow, there still are the a few archives of his show on fmu website! the ones with Jim too! I'll check em out!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:08pm
Charlie:

I did not know that Fred Frith ever had a show on FMU!
Avatar 2:09pm
Cecile:

you know, three or four tweaks to the beat, and you have an indie-pop hit in 2015.
Avatar 2:10pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Charlie: He did! In the mid-to-late '80s. Don't think any of those are archived, though.
Avatar 2:15pm
Michael:

Hi all - I've got an old cassette of station ID's I won during a marathon drawing from the 80's and Fred Frith does at least one id although i don't remember him doing a show.
Avatar 2:18pm
Tony Coulter:

Heya, Michael!

Think Frith may not have had an FMU show for that long. It *may* have been back to back with RSM's show. (It's been a long time, so I could be wrong about that.)

I do remember RSM having a show and of course the Larry and Mookie shows.

I've just read a lot about RSM and only heard dribs and drabs of his music and always wondered where to dive into his intimidating oeuvre and the cassette you just played was amazing. and and and.
