Podcast: Play in new window | Download
1:33:23 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.
After college, my magazine business had failed, and I was unemployed and living at home with my parents in Central NJ, and having weird dreams. On this tape I talk about my dreams, and also what was going on in my life back then.
The first half-hour of this tape was recently heard on Overnightscape Central – Scramble (11/26/18).

Haven’t heard this one yet but was excited to share an idea I had. Since it is seemingly difficult to know where to start and anyone landing on this page won’t know our names, perhaps a link on the sidebar which says “host introductions – click here!” You would solicit files of 5 minutes or less from each host. Those that don’t provide could be introduced with a few words from Frank or PQ. This could be a merged file you can add to and replace whenever someone new jumps aboard.

“September 12 […] Giuliani […] evil being” – an edited version would be eerily prescient.
Nice to hear a mention of Tori – I got to see her in concert during the Scarlet’s Walk era.
Have the Superior poems been compiled? I get a Joyce Finnegans Wake vibe from some of them.
