Greetings, all. Today's "Tape Hiss"" will lean in a proggy direction -- relatively speaking, at least.

So, apparently Swedes do not believe in apostrophes. If they did, this group's name would be Johan Hedrén's Anna Gram.

Tony, as always, I'm wearing many hats, all piled atop one another. But this time, I've figured out to wear the largest and flattest hat as the bottom layer.

I will award an all-expenses-paid trip to Nowheresville to anyone who recognizes the LP beneath today's cassettes.

Oh well, better luck next time, contestants. It's Brent Wilcox's "Executive Lullabies" (as seen in this truly subpar discogs photo: www.discogs.com... )

Tony Coulter:

@ Kool: Hey there! That Debile Menthol tape is very early stuff of theirs -- pretty different from the LPs. Their roots!

Just had a fiery encounter with pad thai and chili paste. My ears are ringing which is an odd accompaniment to the Débile Menthol.

I'm usually unable to hear this (weekly meeting at work) but am able to listen in today!

Loving this so far. I'm editing a new piece of text, pitched as 7K words, that's actually 20K. This tape is quelling my grumpiness.

So edit the first 7000 and call it good!

Weird! The last bunch of comments just appeared all at once.

Anyway, greets βrian and Gary!!

@Gary: For a good year and a half, a weekly Wednesday meeting poked a nasty hole in the Nazario Scenario. Then that client went away. It was win-win.

I'm enjoying doing work to this music as well. It's quite conducive to the task of tasking.

I just failed a big presentation and was feeling sad, but this show is putting an end to my grumpiness too! Thank you. Also helping out work here.
Avatar 12:39pm
Tony Coulter:

Sorry to hear about the presentation, Mayuko -- I'm sure the problem was all theirs..
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:40pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Mayuko: So sorry for your problem presentation. Music is always good medicine to soothe the pain and discomfort. Let Dr. Tony give you the cure.

By the by, Johan Hedren is the band's keyboard man.
Avatar 12:46pm
Mayuko:

Thank you, Tony, Gaylord. I'm assuming they didn't take my work because it was maybe a little too weird for their project. Listening to WFMU might not help the problem of being weird, haha! I'm happy to be listening to these music nonetheless.

Heya Tony and Hissers. Enjoying this Johan Hedrens.

I once had a one-minute endless loop cassette that I used as background for laying music composition/improvisation. Those were the days!

Oooh, Sten Sandell issued recordings on this label.
Avatar 12:51pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey, Dean! Indeed he did.
Avatar 12:57pm
βrian:

I'm guessing that's pronounced as "mawn-tall."
Avatar 12:57pm
Carmichael:

Nothing earth-shattering, Tony. I had my family in tow, so not much time to browse as the music deserves. I did end up with some Earl Bostic and Mugsy Spanier, as well as a cool Jan and Dean FOLK album. Some good lounge/exotica stuff, a mad preacher ranting about Satan, and a Canadian horn rock band called Skywalk that seems pretty good. That's about it.

listener james from westwood:

Sorry it went ill, Mayuko! They'll regret not taking you on when they see what you do for the party that says yes!
Avatar 1:00pm
Tony Coulter:

@ βrian: Yes, I think you're right re the pronunciation. Thought I'd strike a middle ground between French and English so as not to lose that refreshing mentholated flavor.

@ Carmichael: Sounds like a good haul to me.

There are a few others, but they are just random weirdness. Plus, I had to save some dough for Powell's Books.

@james Thank you! a Japanese saying says when there's a god who dump you there's always another god who picks you up, like you said hopefully some other parties will be happy with me!

I wonder where this was recorded (side A). I was probably in France at the time. If only I knew …

Time to break out the Release Music Orchestra and Secret Oyster!
Avatar 1:19pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Brian: Was recorded in Switzerland, in August of 1980, perhaps at a club called Local (the subtitle of the cassette is "Inédits au Local Aout 80")
Avatar 1:20pm
Tony Coulter:

... though I'm guessing they just mean recorded at different local clubs....
Avatar 1:28pm
Tony Coulter:

Or Local could be the name of a studio -- might be live in studio. Who knows!?!
Avatar 1:29pm
Carmichael:

Well, my building just lost power. Have to log back into everything again ...
Avatar 1:36pm
βrian:

I think "au local" means "on the premises," or some such.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:36pm
listener james from westwood:

Aaahh, my sympathies, Carmichael, I hate when that happens!
Avatar 1:40pm
Tony Coulter:

@ βrian: Perhaps then they mean this stuff was recorded "at home," in the band's own lair.

I really like this Debile Menthol!
Avatar 1:42pm
Tony Coulter:

As I just said on mic, the sound quality is crappy for about 10 minutes here on side B, then perks up considerably.
Avatar 1:46pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Carmichael: Débile Menthol's two LPs have been reissued on one double CD and are well worth a listen: www.discogs.com...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 1:48pm
listener james from westwood:

They were a bit Débile-itated, but it just perked up.
Avatar 1:49pm
Tony Coulter:

Sorts of sounds like whoever was recording this suddenly woke up and started twiddling with the treble.

@ Listener James: The Menthol kicked in.

That first track was quite funny and I like the sound of this cassette. I can't understand the lyrics but feels like listening to an irrational life story of some stranger.

I could imagine this making small children cry.
Avatar 2:36pm
Tony Coulter:

They have a bunch of cassettes -- but I've never heard any of the others. They were a sort of performance group (just two people, though), in San Francisco.
