Listener comments!
	10:58am Tony Coulter: The chances of anyone ID'ing today's mystery LP-under-the-cassettes are very low, so I'll just reveal the secret right away. It's this comp from radio station WEBN: www.discogs.com...
	11:59am Listener Bob in PGH: Hi Tony! Looking forward to show as always.
	11:59am Tony Coulter: Hiya, Bob!
	🥁 12:00pm listener james from westwood: Ooh, was hopin' for a Hiss, but it's always great either way!
	12:01pm Tony Coulter: Hey, James! I will be hissin'....
	12:01pm Cmurtha: HISS DAY BEST DAY
	12:02pm spodiodi: hi Tony!
	12:02pm Sem: Howdy, hissing cousin Tony, and Coultergeists around the globe.
	12:02pm Tony Coulter: Hey, hey, hey, Cmurtha and spodiodi!
	12:03pm Tony Coulter: ... and... hey there, Sem!
	12:04pm erik: hi Tony, hi all

	12:05pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, erik!
	12:06pm Tony Coulter: Stanley! Stanley!
	12:06pm Stanley: Tonley!
	12:07pm Tony Coulter: Stoney!
	12:09pm coelacanth∅: greetings Tony and hissters
	12:09pm Tony Coulter: When Dino DiMuro was a kid, he was a regular on TV: www.youtube.com...
	12:10pm Tony Coulter: Greets, Coel!
	12:12pm Sem: That's Mhisster Hisser to you, coel.
	🥁 12:18pm ynod: My dad's name is Clem. Good day all!
	🥁 12:18pm Yvang: Hi Tonhiss and lhissleners!
	🥁 12:19pm Yvang: I mean lhissTeners
	12:19pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, heya, ynod and Yvang (the 'y' brigade).
	🥁 12:24pm Yvang: I like Dino DiMuro wide range of styles in just one cassette.
	12:26pm Tony Coulter: Yeah, he does have a wide range. He sometimes even gets into Beefheartian sounds (tho not on this tape).
	12:27pm V Priceless: TC! Hey!
	12:27pm Tony Coulter: Hola, VP!
	12:37pm fred: Hello Tony and listeners
	12:37pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Fred! You're just in time for today's pick hit.
	12:47pm Listener Bob in PGH: I can see from the John Cieciel tape card that there's a song with a Hitler reference. Are all the cassettes today going to have Hitler references? :-)
	12:48pm Tony Coulter: Some of the tapes I play on Tape Hiss are very unbalanced channel-wise, and every once in a while I feel the need to boost one of the channels, tho I'm never totally sure if I should or not. I did that with the Dino DiMuro tape we just heard: I boosted the right channel quite a bit. My question for you: How'd it sound? OK?
	12:50pm Listener Bob in PGH: The vocal is right up the center on my sound system, so the boost must have worked
	12:50pm spodiodi: it sounded ok to me, but i was on a laptop with puny speakers
	12:51pm Tony Coulter: @ Listener Bob: For the previous tape, you mean, right?
	12:52pm Tony Coulter: The tape on now doesn't seem to need boosting, so I'm leaving it alone.
	12:53pm fred: My left ear is almost useless, so I can't help with stereo stuff
	🥁 12:53pm Yvang: My laptop is wired to a very good amplifier and this is sounding absolutley okay from the beginning.
	12:53pm Listener Bob in PGH: Yes, it's a small sample size I will admit, but a strange coincidence that the first two cassettes today have had a track with Hitler in the title.
	12:54pm Tony Coulter: He's a popular guy. He will not return after this tape, tho....
	12:54pm Doug Schulkind: Hi, Tony! Hello, International Coulterians!
	12:55pm Tony Coulter: Heya, Doug!!
	🥁 12:55pm listener james from westwood: We've got World War II and Speed Racer nostalgia on a single cassette side!
	12:55pm spodiodi: she fucked what? (before i read the playlist)
	🥁 12:55pm Yvang: en.wikipedia.org...
	1:00pm coelacanth∅: so, only 6 -as it lists one twice and "god" doesn't belong on the list... + 2 here and probably 45,000 others
	🥁 1:02pm Yvang: Yes, bad list. I found another one www.lyrics.com...
	1:12pm Tony Coulter: I like how that list shows Adolf Hitler as an "artist," side by side with Elvis Hitler.
	1:12pm Evan Cantor: Hey, looks like my old tunes are gonna get some airplay! Thanks Tony--
	1:12pm coelacanth∅: that looks a bit more comprehensive! ...i wonder if i ever wrote a song about hitler. i wrote a lot a long time ago and it seems like something i would've done, in some context...
	1:13pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Evan! Yes, your tape is coming up after this one. (Welcome!)
	1:17pm coelacanth∅: there was a sort of art to his oratory delivery, so there you have it. an artist.
	1:17pm coelacanth∅: (and he did go to art school, didn't he?)
	1:18pm Tony Coulter: True!
	🥁 1:18pm Yvang: And yes he was a painter.
	🥁 1:19pm Yvang: Not my favourite painter.
	1:20pm spodiodi: hitler was no bob ross
	1:25pm coelacanth∅: hmm, yeah. -maybe when someone invents a working time machine we can go back and redirect little adolph's attentions so he can develop as an artist.
	1:27pm Little Fyodor: Hi Evan! Hi Tony! Enjoying the show immensely!! I tried to alert Dino too but the old email I had for him bounced and he doesn't appear to be on FB....
	1:28pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Fyodor! A gathering of the tape tribes!
	1:32pm spodiodi: lights torches
	1:35pm holland oats: tony tony tony!
	1:35pm Tony Coulter: Hello, Holl O!
	🥁 1:40pm listener james from westwood: My Little Hitler: the far less successful version of My Little Pony
	🥁 1:41pm listener james from westwood: (Except in certain parts of South America.)
	1:41pm lionld: It's so nice! Where can I purchase this album?
	1:42pm Tony Coulter: Hi, lionld! Unfortunately, as far as I know, this music was never released. What I'm playing is just a demo tape.
	1:42pm Tony Coulter: It's the one on the lower left, in the picture above the playlist.
	1:44pm lionld: thanks!, reminds me of The Litanies of Satan
	1:45pm Sem: "Hitler was a better painter than Churchill -- "He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon, two coats!" via Springtime for you-know-who.
	1:46pm spodiodi: haha Sem
	2:03pm Tony Coulter: As I just said, this tape doesn't resemble Wall of Genius very much. I guess you could say it highlights Evan's secret folkie side.
	2:05pm Evan Cantor: hi again Tony--ya know, back in '87, nobody thought Walls Of Genius guys were credible musicians...I had been a folkie before getting into other things and this was my "All Things Must Pass" after the initial dissolution of Walls Of Genius. Little did I know it would get airplay over 30 years later...
	2:07pm Sem: I have 'FMU listener mauri in Finland to thank for drawing my attention to a local expression there: kalsarikännit (pronounced cal-sar-y-cuhn-eet). It describes " siiting around the house alone drinking beer in your underwear — with no intention of going out."
	🥁 2:07pm WR: Late again. Thought I had the day all figured out then, wrong! Sigh. Well enjoying while I can.
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: @ Evan: It's a fine tape, Evan! I should play it for some friends who are heavily into folk/folk rock -- I'm sure they'd dig it.
	2:08pm erik: i like much that folkie side, thanks Evan Cantor and Tony for presentation
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, WR! ... and Erik too!
	2:09pm Evan Cantor: I think we sat around a lot in our underwear drinking beer in the livingroom back in '87...
	2:20pm Erella: Hi Tony, Paul is a friend of mine! Check out his music biography books. His recent one is about the kids in the Hall and yes, Mike is his brother. (They look a lot alike!) He had a band called the Gravelberries that I liked a lot
	2:22pm Tony Coulter: Erella! Nice to see you here! The thing I'm not totally sure about is that this Paul Myers is same Paul Myers you're talking about -- but I think it is!
	2:23pm Little Fyodor: en.wikipedia.org...
	2:24pm Erella: Yes it is the same guy.
	2:24pm Erella: He lives in SF now. en.wikipedia.org...
	2:25pm Tony Coulter: It was just that the recordings I've heard by Mike M.'s brother sound nothing like this tape. They're much less experimental. But people change, I guess!
	2:25pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for the info!
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: hitting the bunny trail now Thanks tony take care everyone
	2:27pm Tony Coulter: See ya, Coel!
	2:27pm Erella: I knew him well when he put this out. We were all hanging around at an experimental music space at the time, the Music Gallery and though I cannot see the notes on this cassette, I will bet my roommate Chris Devonshire and Mike Phillip Wojeowda will be listed. (MPW produced many of the Barenaked Ladies albums) He is very active on FB now posting his photos more than anything
	2:30pm Tony Coulter: You are right! Mike Phillip Wojeowda is listed as producer
	2:30pm Evan Cantor: I like this stuff, wonder why we never knew of it back in '82. well, there was no internet then...
	2:32pm Tony Coulter: Plus, us U.S.-ers tend to ignore what's going on in Canada....
	2:33pm Erella: There was a lot of fantastic improv groups. The CCMC was the best group. John Oswald (Have you heard of Plunderphonics) and Canadian Art Legend, Michael snow performed fantastic improv at the Music Gallery. They do it monthly now. (Snow is in his 90's now!) and they are great.
	2:34pm Evan Cantor: very true, but the cassette culture was international. I didn't get into it til about '84. In '82 I was still a bassist in a new wave band that was about to morph into the proto Walls o'Genius.
	2:35pm Evan Cantor: oh yes--we knew of John Oswald!
	2:35pm Erella: Paul Haines (father of Metric's Emily Haines) was very involved in this world. This is how I became friends with Robert Wyatt. We all depended on Fact Sheet 5
	2:35pm Tony Coulter: @ Erella: Yes, I'm a Plunderphonics fan! I met Oswald once (he's a friend of a friend). We all had lunch at a Chinese restaurant.
	2:36pm Erella: John Oswald is my neighbour. He performs improv these days (Not THESE days) with Mary Margaret Ohara, and gang
	2:37pm doctorjazz: Hi Tony and all, been listening and enjoying the show, too busy to post.
	2:38pm Evan Cantor: I gotta go--outside..not the w/c... thanks for the tunes Tony! enjoyed greatly.
	2:38pm Tony Coulter: Hey, there Doctor J!
	2:38pm Tony Coulter: See you, Evan! Glad you could make it!
	🥁 2:39pm WR: @Erella, thank you for the context and info. Very interesting
	🥁 2:39pm WR: Thank you Evan for you music
	2:40pm Erella: My pleasure, WR. I will continue listening but have to finish something that is being picked up shortly. This visit to ancient memories has been fun. Thank you for this.
	2:42pm Little Fyodor: Thank you for the info, too, Erella! Good to know John Oswald is keeping busy!! He appeared on a Walls Of Genius compilation tape once!
	2:46pm Erella: John Oswald is doing magnificent giant photo installations involving masses of naked people as well as his photos. He is remarkable. I have all his original plunderphonics experiments on cassette and vinyl too. He is a remarkable guy. Have you heard of the electric-eclectics.com festival? This music would be fun for you. Check out the line ups. John Oswald often goes. Do you know who Gordon Monahan is? He runs this festival. His work/music is amazing
	2:48pm Cmurtha: thanks for an interesting hiss today!
	2:49pm Little Fyodor: Ooh, love Adam Bohman!!
	2:51pm Tony Coulter: @ Erella: Yes, I do know who Gordon Monahan is! Love his stuff (and I've met him a few times -- tho it's been many years). Don't know of that festival, tho -- will look into it!
	2:51pm Little Fyodor: Erella, thanks for all that! No doubt John is remarkable! No I hadn't heard of that festival (not that I remember anyway) nor mr. Monahan. I used to be a little more interested in the improv scene than recently. I think I recall hearing something about a Canadian festival, maybe from Jack Wright. I'll have to check it out!!
	🥁 2:51pm ynod: Thanks Tony and everybody for a most lovely and educational Hiss! See you next week.
	🥁 2:52pm WR: Tony, have you digitized these tape recordings? Old cassettes can be fragile.
	🥁 2:53pm Yvang: Digital is probably even more fragile
	2:54pm Stanley: See you Tony and thanks
	2:54pm Tony Coulter: @ WR: I haven't digitized them all, by a long shot -- but I'm working on it. I'm slowly transferring them to CD-R, just to have a back-up. Sadly, some have already died. Most have held up surprisingly well, tho
	2:55pm Sem: Wouldn't have mhissed thiss for the world. Thx, TC. Latyer, all.
	2:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Tony! love the hiss bye bye all
	🥁 2:56pm Yvang: Thanks, Tony! I loved this Tape Hiss Tuesday!.
	🥁 2:57pm listener james from westwood: Danke, Tony!
	2:57pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for showing up, everybody! Hope to see you all next week!
	🥁 2:58pm WR: Thank you.
	2:58pm Listener Bob in PGH: Thanks, always a pleasure. Lots of info today as well!

	2:08pm Tony Coulter: @ Evan: It's a fine tape, Evan! I should play it for some friends who are heavily into folk/folk rock -- I'm sure they'd dig it.
	2:08pm erik: i like much that folkie side, thanks Evan Cantor and Tony for presentation
	2:08pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, WR! ... and Erik too!
	2:09pm Evan Cantor: I think we sat around a lot in our underwear drinking beer in the livingroom back in '87...
	2:20pm Erella: Hi Tony, Paul is a friend of mine! Check out his music biography books. His recent one is about the kids in the Hall and yes, Mike is his brother. (They look a lot alike!) He had a band called the Gravelberries that I liked a lot
	2:22pm Tony Coulter: Erella! Nice to see you here! The thing I'm not totally sure about is that this Paul Myers is same Paul Myers you're talking about -- but I think it is!
	2:23pm Little Fyodor: en.wikipedia.org...
	2:24pm Erella: Yes it is the same guy.
	2:24pm Erella: He lives in SF now. en.wikipedia.org...
	2:25pm Tony Coulter: It was just that the recordings I've heard by Mike M.'s brother sound nothing like this tape. They're much less experimental. But people change, I guess!
	2:25pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for the info!
	2:27pm coelacanth∅: hitting the bunny trail now Thanks tony take care everyone
	2:27pm Tony Coulter: See ya, Coel!
	2:27pm Erella: I knew him well when he put this out. We were all hanging around at an experimental music space at the time, the Music Gallery and though I cannot see the notes on this cassette, I will bet my roommate Chris Devonshire and Mike Phillip Wojeowda will be listed. (MPW produced many of the Barenaked Ladies albums) He is very active on FB now posting his photos more than anything
	2:30pm Tony Coulter: You are right! Mike Phillip Wojeowda is listed as producer
	2:30pm Evan Cantor: I like this stuff, wonder why we never knew of it back in '82. well, there was no internet then...
	2:32pm Tony Coulter: Plus, us U.S.-ers tend to ignore what's going on in Canada....
	2:33pm Erella: There was a lot of fantastic improv groups. The CCMC was the best group. John Oswald (Have you heard of Plunderphonics) and Canadian Art Legend, Michael snow performed fantastic improv at the Music Gallery. They do it monthly now. (Snow is in his 90's now!) and they are great.
	2:34pm Evan Cantor: very true, but the cassette culture was international. I didn't get into it til about '84. In '82 I was still a bassist in a new wave band that was about to morph into the proto Walls o'Genius.
	2:35pm Evan Cantor: oh yes--we knew of John Oswald!
	2:35pm Erella: Paul Haines (father of Metric's Emily Haines) was very involved in this world. This is how I became friends with Robert Wyatt. We all depended on Fact Sheet 5
	2:35pm Tony Coulter: @ Erella: Yes, I'm a Plunderphonics fan! I met Oswald once (he's a friend of a friend). We all had lunch at a Chinese restaurant.
	2:36pm Erella: John Oswald is my neighbour. He performs improv these days (Not THESE days) with Mary Margaret Ohara, and gang
	2:37pm doctorjazz: Hi Tony and all, been listening and enjoying the show, too busy to post.
	2:38pm Evan Cantor: I gotta go--outside..not the w/c... thanks for the tunes Tony! enjoyed greatly.
	2:38pm Tony Coulter: Hey, there Doctor J!
	2:38pm Tony Coulter: See you, Evan! Glad you could make it!
	🥁 2:39pm WR: @Erella, thank you for the context and info. Very interesting
	🥁 2:39pm WR: Thank you Evan for you music
	2:40pm Erella: My pleasure, WR. I will continue listening but have to finish something that is being picked up shortly. This visit to ancient memories has been fun. Thank you for this.
	2:42pm Little Fyodor: Thank you for the info, too, Erella! Good to know John Oswald is keeping busy!! He appeared on a Walls Of Genius compilation tape once!
	2:46pm Erella: John Oswald is doing magnificent giant photo installations involving masses of naked people as well as his photos. He is remarkable. I have all his original plunderphonics experiments on cassette and vinyl too. He is a remarkable guy. Have you heard of the electric-eclectics.com festival? This music would be fun for you. Check out the line ups. John Oswald often goes. Do you know who Gordon Monahan is? He runs this festival. His work/music is amazing
	2:48pm Cmurtha: thanks for an interesting hiss today!
	2:49pm Little Fyodor: Ooh, love Adam Bohman!!
	2:51pm Tony Coulter: @ Erella: Yes, I do know who Gordon Monahan is! Love his stuff (and I've met him a few times -- tho it's been many years). Don't know of that festival, tho -- will look into it!
	2:51pm Little Fyodor: Erella, thanks for all that! No doubt John is remarkable! No I hadn't heard of that festival (not that I remember anyway) nor mr. Monahan. I used to be a little more interested in the improv scene than recently. I think I recall hearing something about a Canadian festival, maybe from Jack Wright. I'll have to check it out!!
	🥁 2:51pm ynod: Thanks Tony and everybody for a most lovely and educational Hiss! See you next week.
	🥁 2:52pm WR: Tony, have you digitized these tape recordings? Old cassettes can be fragile.
	🥁 2:53pm Yvang: Digital is probably even more fragile
	2:54pm Stanley: See you Tony and thanks
	2:54pm Tony Coulter: @ WR: I haven't digitized them all, by a long shot -- but I'm working on it. I'm slowly transferring them to CD-R, just to have a back-up. Sadly, some have already died. Most have held up surprisingly well, tho
	2:55pm Sem: Wouldn't have mhissed thiss for the world. Thx, TC. Latyer, all.
	2:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Tony! love the hiss bye bye all
	🥁 2:56pm Yvang: Thanks, Tony! I loved this Tape Hiss Tuesday!.
	🥁 2:57pm listener james from westwood: Danke, Tony!
	2:57pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for showing up, everybody! Hope to see you all next week!
	🥁 2:58pm WR: Thank you.
	2:58pm Listener Bob in PGH: Thanks, always a pleasure. Lots of info today as well!
