Tac-Tics (#102)

Source here. Originally recorded on April 2nd, 1998.

All the source material here (and this is of course something that you'll hear my voice and then Lisa's voice go over at the beginning of the show) was taken from an Tennessee collage artist known as "Tac". I can't find anything about Tac (or the tiny label that released him, Atlanta's Suitcase Records) on the internets. We had a box of tapes we worked over rather rigorously for this show. The results are here.

It's quite possible we made everything up except the source material. It might have been given to us on golden tablets by lizard people, for all I can remember. This is unbelievably dense and rewards the repeat listener with unparalleled insight.

  1. Can the intro be more awkward?
  2. The elephants are eating cats at the diner.
  3. Elven belt sander sharpens mushrooms.
  4. Car wash of the dammed.
  5. Trans-dimensional communications channel.
  6. Cement mixer hurdy gurdy.
  7. Searching online for "media-blaster" yielded something else.
  8. My reverb was stuck in the spin cycle.
  9. Wartime British Childrens' Radio Programme.
  10. Emergency in the Funkoplex.
  11. Auto Body Shop Session.
  12. SlowRoboDisco.
  13. Let's Try a Noisy Song.

I wonder if it was this guy. I seem to remember the name (hard to forget), and he's certainly been going at it long enough.
