Hello all! Two of today's cassettes were hard to photograph in their full-package glory. The Chadbourne comes wrapped in a large sheet of paper, and "Bambina Precoce" comes in a bag with all sorts of crap, including a poster and a dried bean. You will just have to imagine what they look like complete.

Howdy, Tony and all! If any music I've purchase came with legumes, I've likely overlooked them. They might be beanstalks by now.

Some of the track titles for this Chadbourbe tape are hard to make out due to scribbly-writing-itis, so I'm just going to be a lazy bastard and not even attempt a blow-by-blow tracklist. You will recognize some of the songs, though, I imagine -- there are a bunch of covers.

You know it's been a tough year when your first reaction to hearing a few songs in a row by a favorite artist is to almost break down crying, oh NO... Thanks for the lovely tape Tony!

You're most welcome, Stepchild! Glad to see you here....

Will be playing the whole tape, as always on these Tape Hiss shows....

Anyone here seen Chadbourne live? I've only managed to catch him once, ages and ages ago, in duet with Fred Frith. At the time they seem mismatched to me -- maybe I'd feel differently now.

"now" meaning, if I went back in time with the brain I'm stuck with currently....

you are looking at NOW now. When will now be then? Soon. We missed it. When? Just now.

I always confuse Chadbourne with Vic Chesnutt.

I too only had that pleasure of seeing Doc C live once, also in the dim past, in a solo set at the old Court Tavern in New Brunswick, NJ.

I confuse Rick Nelson with Rick Springfield. One of them had a garden party, and the other wore a cape, that's all I know....
Avatar 12:41pm

That abrupt ending to side A is just the way the cassette is -- it's done in cassette verité style....

No. Rick Wakeman wore the cape.

for a second i thought "nazi punks fuck off" was "london bouncers", which somehow would've been even weirder.

I remember ordering some Eugene Chadbourne cassettes from the man himself and one of them had a repurposed cereal box for a cover, the other a used envelope.

"Ground Ole Opry" ... I like it ... intentional or not!

For realz? That's almost getting into Caroliner disgusto medical waste packaging territory. (Heya, NGH!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:57pm
Rich in Washington:

I wish there was some kind of documentation of his cassette output, but given that he kept/keeps putting them out, I am sure it's ever-changing.
His website is a mess and hard to navigate.
And Discogs doesn't really document cassette releases as thoroughly.
Avatar 12:58pm
Tony Coulter:

Yeah, I couldn't find any trace of this cassette online. I guess people who are as prolific as him have no time to be "organized"....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:58pm
cklequ:

The coffee can i got had a sock in it too.

Yeah... and i got a sock with a Caroliner record once
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:59pm
Rich in Washington:

I've got a few Caroliner releases that now contain mildew. Not sure if it's worth retaining the integrity of the original release if it jeopardizes the rest of my collection.
Avatar 1:01pm

I've got a Caroliner set that contains an apparently real used medical-waste bag with what look like shit stains on it. It is triple-bagged and I haven't died yet.

What say you? Think this is a fake comp? (Meaning, all tracks are by the same people pretending to be different groups.) That's my guess, anyhow....

There was evidently a Boz Lapinski in Italy's Cheetah Chrome Motherfuckers. Same person? This tape falls near the last couple years of the band's career.

This is likely the person who went by Zedo & Wz: https://firenze.academia.edu/TommasoTozzi

@ Dean: Yes -- he's the publisher of the zine "Bambina Precoce." My suspicion is that he's the guy behind these tracks as well.
Avatar 1:53pm

"Bambina Precoce" was mostly a visual arts zine....

I suspect that because Tozzi is also a musician -- but who knows!

If memory serves, there was someone who was on FMU briefly named Tom Miller -- wonder if it could have been this guy.

Got it in a big ol' batch of random tapes. As far as I know it is not available anywhere.
Avatar 2:33pm

Someone should release it, though. I believe there would be a tiny market for it....

it sounds like little bits that fell off a Todd Tammanend Clark song.

Oops -- sorry the tracklist has been going a bit haywire. Everything is now under control.....

This sounds like some of the stuff people would send to the LAFMS in the early 80's when we were doing cassette compilations. Really, really wack and oddly appealing.
