Being held up by a train is at least more legal than holding up a train, but a lot less lucrative.

Heya Rich!

The show started with a 10-minute monologue on lima beans. Other that that, you didn't miss anything.

Does Oregon vote today, Tony? New Jersey isn't worth a damn in the primaries (June), so I'm envious of those who are in states that are.

Three days ago the band posted a promotion of this show on their Facebook page.

this tape is great. i liked the last song, because he sang that sometimes he gets bent out of shape. i can relate.

@ Listener James: Nope, Oregon doesn't vote for awhile. We are equally irrelevant.

Tony Coulter:

Sorry for the tracklist chaos there. I only partially blame myself: the tracks are listed in the wrong order on the cassette.
Avatar 12:32pm
Tony Coulter:

... but I eventually got it sorted out....

if there is contact info on the tape i'd write a letter to let them know. unacceptable.

So I would say that unlike many of the bands I play on Tape Hiss, Folks on Fire could have enjoyed some mainstream success in the '80s, if things had worked out for them.

Tony — We actually received a letter, I kid you not, from EMI Records (the Beatles' label, no less) just weeks after we broke up. I still have it. It said: "We're hearing some interesting things about the band. Could you send us a tape?"

Hey there, folksonfire!! Nice to know you're listening in.

I know that both Laurie Anderson and Jerry Harrison (of Talking Heads) got copies of the LP. No idea if they passed it on to anyone or gave it a nod.

So, as you may have noticed, today's Tape Hiss is/will be mostly focused on New Wavey, song-oriented stuff.

Wikimajig notes that Hurrah was *the* spot for new wave, post-punk, etc., in NYC. Among the bands that played there, The Sleepers, an SF band whom I remember seeing in LA. They were pretty amazing.

I *think* Hurrah is where I saw Polyrock -- can't remember for sure.

I'm on the pop (not poop) deck. Sitting here with my dad in his new assisted-living residence. We've got the '30s jazz channel gurgling out of the cable TV. A nice counterpoint to this Tellus charmer.
