How does a mixtape work for the purposes of Radio? Does some poor soul have to track down these people to give them a penny? OR CONSPIRACY TIME - Do you as the secret creator of the tape get the penny.
Avatar 12:25pm
Tony Coulter:

Good question -- there are lots of radio hits mixed in here.

LOL, that "Oh my gawd ... Harry!" was from an old glasses ad.

If you're wondering: yes, this whole tape is mono.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:32pm
Cmurtha:

What a topical tape
Avatar 12:34pm
Tony Coulter:

This side of the tape is a lot more audio collagey -- side B is more of a straight mixtape.

A Cowboy's work is never done is a mad underplayed Sonny and Cher song.

By the way, delayed response to Cmurtha above: I am most definitely not the maker of this tape. Someone gave it to me, or I bought it in a thrift store somewhere -- just can't remember where it came from.

Did anyone recognize the song that ended side A?

I suppose this could even be an aircheck tape
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 12:53pm
Yvang:

By the way, is this a (mystery) LP cover on the background?
Avatar 12:54pm
Tony Coulter:

Interesting: No star is appearing next to the sides of this tape, because I credited it to "??"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:55pm
Cmurtha:

Yeah, no star shows up if thats blank. Typos or variance in attribution (both in albums and by djs) can also let you clicky-star the same song twice. I think I have 2-3 doubles because of that.

Avatar 12:58pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Yvang: It is! Forgot to mention that.

So, can anyone ID today's mystery LP-under-the-cassettes? Here are some clues: It's Brit jazz rock from the '70s with links to lots of bands: Blossom Toes, Battered Ornaments, Mike Westbrook, even Magma. Any guesses?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 12:58pm
Yvang:

Which is outrageous for WFMU

Tony Coulter:

Ha!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:00pm
Yvang:

Gong?
Avatar 1:01pm
Tony Coulter:

Good guess -- but, no. It's a more obscure band, with only one album.
Avatar 1:04pm
Tony Coulter:

The cover art reminds me slightly of "Nursery Crime," by Genesis.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:05pm
Yvang:

Or a Rothko painting?
Avatar 1:05pm
Tony Coulter:

Any other guesses? You don't want to miss out on today's big prizes. I'll do the big reveal in 5 minutes.
Avatar 1:06pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Yvang: The cover is less abstract that the portion I used would suggest.
Avatar 1:07pm

Actually, to make things harder: I used the back cover.

Hello Tony and listeners. I read that a distillery in Portland was making sanitizer now. A troubling reversal of how things have worked for centuries

@fred, et al: Smart move by the distillery. Some folks are using vodka or Everclear for hand sanitizing.

...the distiller can create a "boutique" product and survive the slowdown in business!

Here in Portland I've noticed that while business in restaurants has dropped of a lot, food carts seems to be doing OK. (Not a scientific study, just random observation, but....)
