Greetings, all! Today's "Tape Hiss" will be a little different than usual -- more indie rockish, in parts anyhow.

listener james from westwood:

Good Tuesday, Tony and all! Northern NJ is dark and rainy; fitting in its way. Glad for the sunshine of Tape Hiss!
Avatar 12:02pm
Tony Coulter:

Heya, LJ! Predictably, it's bright and sunny here in the rainy, but contrarian Northwest.

listener james from westwood:

You've earned it out there. Argh, hope you and yours are well. I've been a stress ball here in bluish-purple New Jersey. WFMU has helped with that (esp. now that it hit its $ goal!).

Tony Coulter:

Yes, we are well -- and slowly preparing for our new dark overlords.

Autumn has finally hit my shell of boredom in Trumplorida.. actually got down to 47F/8C, although it will get up to 75F/24C later today.

Did Fiction have other releases? The name sounds familiar.
Avatar 12:23pm
Tony Coulter:

Don't think so, no. Perhaps there are other groups with the same name? And, of course, there's Friction.

Our friend in Paris who comments a lot here, and who will be having open-heart surgery this week.

@ Cecile: Oh, didn't know about that. Sorry for the flippancy, and all the best luck to Fred.

Heya, JtotheK!

that's OK.

Tony Coulter:

Unlike most of the groups heard here on Tape Hiss, Fiction seems like it might have had some commercial potential, back in the days when synth pop was big.
Avatar 12:36pm
Tony Coulter:

What I can't decide is if the vocalist is actually British, or just trying to sound a bit British.
  12:38pm
MrFab:

Best of luck to Monsieur Fred, open heart surgery is nuthin to mess with.

(But, to be honest, I DO think about Fred Flintstone and Ricky Ricardo's friend. Far too often.)
Avatar 12:38pm
Cecile:

If it was in Michigan, they were trying to sound British.

Anglophilia was strong there

They could have worked a bit harder on the cover design....

Fiction does not exist on the internet, so I guess they don't exist.

They are Fictional.

Ok, I'm pretty sure I've heard of Horsey...

They released this thing in '93: www.discogs.com...

This tape came out 16 years before I moved to Portland, but I still see releases by many of these bands in the shops out here (second hand)

The Astro-Zombies were from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, long before ... well, you know.....

Big Black and Pavement were big back in olden times, weren't they dad?

Tony Coulter:

Yep, back in the time of the dinosaurs.....

Ha, was just thinking that Cecile. Hello, noise rock! Was a fan (and participant) back in the college-rock days. Don't forget Butthole Surfers.

I saw them more than I saw bands I liked, Mr Fab.

Rich in Washington:

I only vaguely remember Astro-Zombies via an ad in a zine. Maybe a review. Not sure. This definitely falls somewhere between what I call the Ugly Atonal 80s and Amrep 90s aesthetics.
Avatar 2:08pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey ho, Rich!
Avatar 2:13pm
Tony Coulter:

Amrep as in Amphetamine Reptile Records? There's a scene I know virtually nothing about....
Avatar 2:16pm
Cecile:

Some of it's crap, but some of it's great. They also put out a feedtime record and reissued all the Urinals's stuff.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:24pm
Rich in Washington:

I've really been on an 80s (Buttholes, Feedtime, Stickmen W/Rayguns, Big Black, Scratch Acid, Killdozer) & 90s (AmRep catalog, Cheater Slicks, Pain Teens, God Bullies, Jesus Lizard, Cop Shoot Cop, Cabbages & Kings, Swans, etc) noise rock kick lately.
Avatar 2:29pm
Tony Coulter:

Are the God Bullies gods who bully, or bullies who bully God?

Boredoms!

Boredoms - YES!

this particular piece is something that got stomped out when indy rock hit it big. Loads less random weirdness.

Kinda young, kinda wild. Charlie.

But this is what survived to this day. idiotic covers.
