I’m very sad to report that Jimbo passed away last Thursday, November 30, at his home in Georgia.

Working with Dave Duckert and PQ Ribber today, I was able to find an online obituary, and verify the details. It listed his real name, the town he lived in, and his age – all of which matched the information we had. And the date, Nov. 30, was the last we heard from him.

I will have a lot more to say about this, but I wanted leave a quick note to let everyone know.

31:53 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

Fuzzy Daupner live at Acme Underground (9 Great Jones St, NY, NY) on Tuesday, March 27, 2001. This tape is labeled “Sound Board Tape”, so I think it was recorded by the sound guy at the venue. It’s not great quality, but it’s a different sound than most of the other live recordings.

Setlist: Crazy Plonto (beginning cut off), Kids in America/Territorial Pissings, Cup of Joe, Pent Breeze, Sign of the Malls, Monster Now, The Filmography of Ann B. Davis.

Fuzzy Daupner was an obscure New Jersey rock band which, in the brief span of 3 years (1998-2001), created a catalog of 32 amazing songs.

Fuzzy Daupner began in 1998 when Carrie Engdahl (now Carrie Ann Carroll) began collaborating with her sister Denice and Denice’s husband Frank on creating songs. Awhile later, they joined forces with Rob DiCaterino (who later went on to co-host The Paunch Stevenson Show) on drums and formed the band Fuzzy Daupner. The final member, Phil Mould (from England) on bass, joined a little later.

They produced two home-recorded, Internet-distributed albums, and played many shows around New Jersey and NYC. But they never got signed and they broke up in November 2001.

1:26:03 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.

2000 and 2001 were the big years for my Internet radio project Bluffcosm.com. My focus was on creating short audio pieces called Blufftoons. One way I got the source material was “audio mining”, usually in NYC. I would walk around with my recorder on, hoping to capture interesting sounds.

I was working at Scholastic Books at Broadway and Prince at the time. In the first segment, I walk from work to a vegetarian restaurant in Chinatown called VegeCyber, near Center and Howard. (At 16:54, I talk briefly).
