47:40 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.

In 2011, PQ and I tried to set up a streaming station that was legally licensed to play commercial music. Tentatively called “Onsug Music Clubhouse”, the project never got off the ground due to the cost and complexity of setting it up. I only recorded this one test broadcast for the project.

“Codamagger” was an super-masculine fake brand I invented, mentioned on The Rampler #363 (8/24/09), along with art for the logo:

“Codamagger Lullabies” was originally a song in one of my music projects, Choston Bands & Junkard Sane – Oval Bay (EP). The idea was that a “Codamagger” was a pistol, and being pistol-whipped and knocked out by it was a “Codamagger Lullaby”, in the slang of some fictional alternate world.

I played the DJ clips from this on The Overnightscape 797: Orange Egg Lotion (7/10/11), but for this release I kept a few seconds from the beginnings and endings of the songs, to give a better idea of what the original sounded like.
