Hello, all! Doubt anyone could guess what today's mystery LP-under-the-cassettes is, so I'll just spill the beans right off the bat (to messily mix metaphors). It's U.K. band Mirkwood's self-titled LP, from 1973: www.discogs.com...

..had typed "methaphor mixmaster", but yikes! jumped right out at me.

Tony Coulter:

Unlike a lot of the outfits featured on Tape Hiss, The Scientific Americans would not have been at all out of place on college radio circa 1982. I wonder how much airplay they did get at the time....
Avatar ♥ 12:18pm
Tony Coulter:

Of course, cassettes were always at a disadvantage as far as getting airplay -- but they did have some vinyl singles.

Tape Tzar Tony at the controls.

Stanley the Manley! Heya!

I guess I would know it was a tape hiss day if I read the GTD daily email upon awakening.
Avatar ♥ 1:02pm
Tony Coulter:

WR! How are you, you mysterious organism?
Avatar ♥ 1:03pm
Tony Coulter:

Is anyone here familiar with Ottmar Liebert's solo stuff? I'm assuming it's nothing like this Red cassette.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:13pm
WR:

Who is the vocalist?
Avatar ♥ 1:13pm
Tony Coulter:

Elizabeth Yancy, who doesn't seem to have done anything else
Avatar ♥ 1:15pm
Tony Coulter:

Other than her stuff with Red, I mean -- there are other Red releases.

Hey Tony - listening at work and loving the tape selections this week - right up my alley!
Avatar ♥ 1:17pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey, Tom! Glad you're listening!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:21pm
WR:

I wonder if you try contacting Liebert via his web site what the reaction would be to interest in his early work.
Avatar ♥ 1:22pm
Tony Coulter:

Ha! That would be interesting to find out....
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:23pm
WR:

Don't know anything about him before today but seems he has had a significant career in new age flamenco.
Avatar ♥ 1:25pm
Tony Coulter:

"New Age Flamenco" ... the very words send a chill down my spine.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:25pm
Cmurtha:

Hello everyone. That "red" tape's aura mocks me
Avatar ♥ 1:28pm
Tony Coulter:

Hiya, Cmurtha! The cover of the Red cassette creates some odd optical effects, at least in person.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:41pm
WR:

This Objekt comp is fun. Wanna hear more by some of the bands. Sea Hags especially.
Avatar ♥ 1:45pm
Tony Coulter:

According to discogs, the track we heard is the only thing Sea Hags ever released -- tho, of course, they could have obscure cassette-only releases that haven't made it to discogs yet.
Avatar ♥ 1:46pm
Tony Coulter:

Although, wait, they do have a second track on the flip side of this cassette!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:49pm
WR:

These songs and those of The Scientific Americans are topical compendium of the times they came from, though some topics are still current.
Avatar ♥ 1:57pm
Tony Coulter:

Just looked up John Merrick, subject of the Love Dolls song a few tracks back: He was the Elephant Man
Avatar ♥ 2:02pm
Tony Coulter:

Perhaps I should have remembered that from the David Lynch movie...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:06pm
WR:

RE: Merrick, The Lynch movie or the play that for one run featured David Bowie.
Avatar ♥ 2:10pm
Tony Coulter:

True. Forgot about that!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:12pm
WR:

Easy to forget the Bowie / Merrick / Elephant Man connection since, AFAIR the is no generally available recording.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:17pm
WR:

Thought my phone had lost the stream again but noticed tape hiss still there, so they programmed that much silence after the Microdots tune?
Avatar ♥ 2:18pm
Tony Coulter:

They did!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:20pm
WR:

I'm extra chatty today because I'm on vacation and indulging myself of just sitting around ripping CDs and enjoying your show.
Avatar ♥ 2:24pm
Tony Coulter:

Come vacation in sunny Tape Hiss–land.
Avatar ♥ 2:28pm
Tony Coulter:

The other Sea Hags track is coming up next

Yes Cmurtha, I was thinking the start was interesting but then they slipped into standarditaty™️
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:37pm
Cmurtha:

yeah, that track did not go at all the way I had thought it would
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:51pm
Cmurtha:

Thanks for today's show Tony!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:53pm

Wild and wonderful afternoon of cassette-itis, expect nothing less from this Drummer Stream music mixmaster. See you next time, Tony, and all.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:56pm
