WFMU: Tony Coulter: Playlist from September 19, 2017

Listener comments!
	9/17 2:39pm Tony Coulter: Don't know what any of today's cassettes are -- PLEASE HELP ME I.D. 'EM!
	9/17 2:50pm Tony Coulter: A disclaimer for all you sticklers out there: I do have some idea what's on the "Home Taper Sampler" cassette, of course, but I'm not sure who some of the artists are, given that only last names appear, and I don't know any of the track titles.
	12:02pm pierre: Hello ?
	🥁 12:02pm listener james from westwood: In for the mystery show! Howdy, Tony and all!
	12:02pm βrian: Salut.
	12:03pm Tony Coulter: Heya. Pierre and James! ... and βrian! It's a rush for the front door....
	12:03pm pierre: this is going to be great I can tell
	12:07pm JtotheK: hi tony, hi everyone. i am traveling for work, hoping to catch most of the mystery show, no doubt it will be amazing!
	12:09pm Tony Coulter: Hey, hey, JtotheK!
	12:13pm JtotheK: this is great. i took my headphones out so my coworker can also listen. he's about ready to ask me to put my headphones back in.
	12:16pm Tony Coulter: Just searched "McKinney - Counting" on discogs, and it came back with one hit: A Melba Moore album.
	12:24pm northguineahills: Quick, did you write all of the artists' names down???!
	12:25pm Tony Coulter: Nah: they are collectively known as AAC, which is good enough for me. (Heya, NGH!)
	12:27pm Sem Chumbo: Hello from the right coast, Tony, and all.
	12:27pm Tony Coulter: Unless, I guess, the improv took place at somewhere called the AAC ... or at an event sponsored by an organization called the AAC.
	12:27pm I am the Upsetter: Mystery's!
	12:30pm Tony Coulter: Ahoy, Sem and I Am!!
	12:32pm JakeGould: So it’s audio art? Came in late. Years?
	12:33pm Tony Coulter: Hey, JakeGould! This tape is from around '84 -- that much I know.
	🥁 12:39pm listener james from westwood: Makes a million times more sense than Trmup's speech to the UN today!
	12:42pm JakeGould: Well, once this show is archived and Google crunches it hopefully someone somewhere can find it and add context.
	12:42pm Tony Coulter: That's what I'm hoping!
	🥁 1:02pm Yvang: Hello Tony/listeners! Enjoying the mysterious sounds of the mystery cassettes!
	1:03pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Yvang! I guess in some weird way the mystery adds a bit of extra frisson.
	1:04pm Tony Coulter: "Everything that I do is because of Genesis P. Orridge." There's a clue.....
	1:05pm Tony Coulter: ... that leads nowhere.
	1:07pm JakeGould: Logging in! So, are there 4 tapes in total you will be playing?
	1:08pm Tony Coulter: Yep -- though I'll only have time to play part of the fourth (the orangey one in the upper left).
	1:11pm JakeGould: Thanks for clarifying! But damn… This makes me really want to do some detective work.
	1:16pm Mayuko: Good afternoon, Tony and all!
	1:17pm Tony Coulter: Hey there, Mayuko!! Good to see you here....
	1:19pm Mayuko: I'd still be very gladly listening even if this repetitive sound goes on throughout the rest of your show. Which one of the 4 tapes in the image is this?
	1:20pm Tony Coulter: It's the one on (your) upper right.....
	1:22pm Tony Coulter: The label was glued on upside down, but right way up it's a pic of an ivy-covered building.
	1:23pm Mayuko: Ah, I see that's what you meant by Leafy label tape, I first thought they might have been magnolia flowers.
	1:29pm Tony Coulter: "Frenetic destruction" -- that phrase gets repeated quite a bit. Another clue for all you sleuths.....
	1:29pm glenn: buena sera di italia.
	1:30pm Tony Coulter: Ciao, Glenn!
	1:33pm Tony Coulter: Actually, I think the phrase "frenetic destruction" slowly morphs into "phonetic structure." Or something ... maybe....
	🥁 1:35pm listener james from westwood: Leafy Label made excellent lunch music!
	1:36pm Tony Coulter: Were you eating salad, I hope?
	1:39pm Webhamster Henry: Not bad for music composed by vegetation.
	1:40pm Tony Coulter: Webham! Heya!
	1:50pm northguineahills: Leaf!
	1:51pm Tony Coulter: Yep, it's Leaf Erikson....
	1:53pm I am the Upsetter: My mind is going...
	1:54pm epizootics: Looking at the playlist, I'd wager a guess that Klee's given name is Mark. He made some music that's found on a few choice taper comps and also did some interesting art, a piece of which was a cover of Unsound.
	1:54pm I am the Upsetter: "frenetic instruction"
	1:56pm Tony Coulter: @ I am the Upsetter: It seems to morph. The first time it sounded like "destruction" But then again, maybe I'm hallucinating!
	1:58pm I am the Upsetter: Hard to say. Enjoying this show.
	1:59pm Tony Coulter: Hey, epizootics!! Thanks for the tip -- that sounds like a good guess. I'll add "Mark" to the playlist.
	2:09pm Tony Coulter: Late-breaking news: Someone very much in a position to make a good guess (he believes he once owned the tape) just now suggested (on FB) that the "Leafy Label" cassette is John Oswald. I must admit it doesn't sound like Oswald to me, but I will investigate further.
	2:12pm Tony Coulter: I should add that he was reacting to my photos of the labels, not to the sound of the tape.
	2:20pm Webhamster Henry: Oswald was never a frenetic destructor!
	2:27pm Tony Coulter: Just remembered that I have at least one more mystery tape. Oh well -- it (they) will have to wait for a future show.
	2:27pm Cecile: I don't think I ever want to know who made this cassette.
	2:28pm coelacanth∅: greetings Tony and hissters ...(just here for a moment, unfortunately)
	2:28pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Cecile and coelacanth∅!
	2:29pm Cecile: Guten Tag!
	2:37pm I am the Upsetter: "hmmmm, I don't recognize this song"
	2:38pm (i)(k)EEE: This tape goes really oddly with proofreading descriptions and blurbs for bullshit diet book bundles.
	2:39pm Tony Coulter: Eek, it's Ike!!
	2:40pm JtotheK: this song 'you are my favorite music' i'd purchase if it were issued on a 45.
	2:40pm I am the Upsetter: (i)(k)EEE, I know thats not your cat but damn your avatar gets me every time!
	2:42pm 1k3: This book teaches you every step, including a proven meal plan for burning fat, farting like a demon, and dropping your weight. This is a book of action. And farting. It doesn't just tell you to try harder. It tells you to fart harder. Like a hyena. Life rewards those who take matters into their own hands. And their own farts. (I may have changed a few things there.)
	2:50pm Tony Coulter: The cassette on now is the one on the upper left.
	2:50pm ɨkɛ: This is good. Maybe inspired by The Caretaker, or an inspiration for The Caretaker?
	2:51pm Mayuko: This is very beautiful.
	2:54pm JtotheK: great show today, thanks for sharing the mystery tapes, Tony!
	2:55pm Tony Coulter: Here's a link to Cheyenne's upcoming FMA Listening Party playlist, which looks like it might be a tribute to William Berger, who — so sadly — has left us behind: wfmu.org...
	2:55pm Tony Coulter: Thanks, JtotheK!
	2:56pm I am the Upsetter: I like this one.
	🥁 2:56pm listener james from westwood: Thanks, Tony!
	2:57pm northguineahills: Thanks Tony!
	2:58pm Mayuko: oh it's already 3?! Thank you Tony for the wonderful ??s!!
	2:59pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for throwing up -- I mean, showing up -- everyone. See you next week!
	7:33pm Dee Kay: I asked John about that mysterious tape he didn't recognize it as his. He'd often drop by and give me one of this tapes. They were all documented by him, not sure if that is still up on the web, but its not him. I always thought I would remember but you get old...
	9:29am Joe Schmidt: McKinney is Dan McKinney, later of The Original Sins.
	10:15am Glenn Frantz: Mark Klee (pronounced with a long e) was a musician, visual artist, and monologuist. A ton of his radio monologues can be found here: archive.org...
	1:08pm Eric Feinstein: AAC stands for Allentown Arts Center. This session was recorded late at night after carrying a piano up a flight of stairs to get it up to the 2nd floor where the theater was. I recorded it on something portable, I think my JVC cassette deck that was part of a modular boombox. I think I used a cheap radio shack Mic. I later overdubbed some ethereal noises I made using two tape decks. The AAC was a community arts center that many local musicians and performers used in the 80's. It was a mecca for improv and was the space that Improvco used for many years. Sun Ra, Firesign Theater and many others performed there.
