47:19 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.

This episode is part of a sub-project within Tape Land called “Video Phase 2022”. I recently began transferring a ton of old video tapes to digital, and have been posting selections to YouTube. Here, I’ll be releasing the audio tracks of these videos, as well as linking you to the YouTube videos, and The Internet Archive.

Weird University (1986)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzfseA0tUSY

In 1986, “Mad” Mike and Frank Nora “Master of the Airwaves”, not satisfied with just doing their comedy radio show “Anything But Monday”, decide to produce a video series based on a fictional version of their college called “Weird University”. With their new personas “Franco Wolfini” and “Iggy Szalzo”, they investigate and report on interesting students, the dining hall, campus security, a nearby supermarket, and much more… plus, strange happenings on a Weird Halloween. This is the “best of” edit that was made available for mail order (VHS or Beta), though few copies were sold.…

There were three episodes of Weird University. They were shown in the university center. This edit draws from all three episodes, but leaves some stuff out. The Compleat Weird University, coming soon, will include much more.

1:36:40 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.

The title says it all – the majority of this tape consists of extremely boring conversations on a train. The tape is labeled “6/22/02-7/27/02 – Good Stuff!!! NYC etc.”, though it seems to start on July 10. I don’t clearly remember now 20 years later, but I think I was trying to capture the sound of a train ride (in this case, from Delawanna to Hoboken in NJ) – with the train sounds, announcements, overheard conversations, etc. It’s an interesting historical audio reference, if nothing else. There’s also a very weird guy on the subway, and me talking about my Obliviana project (which I would finally let go of the following March, when I started The Overnightscape) in my Jeep during a thunderstorm.

Notes: Unknown music, boring conversations on a train, Wed. July 10, 2002, 9:46 AM, subway, weird guy, busker, guys talking about something, papers, lots of people, on a bus?, more boring conversations on a train, PATH station?, thunderstorm, Fri. July 19, 2002, 5:44 PM, went to the MacWorld Show, sitting in my Jeep at the Delawanna Station, my progress in Obliviana, Dashic Deeds, the 8 subdivisions, motor sound, inside?

The Evil Compleat Farm (January 1987)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK3M8jiIiDE

In January 1987, in Somerset County, NJ, Frank learns of creepy local urban legends such as “The Pigwoman’s Castle”, “The Glowing Grave”, and “The Devil Tree”. He decides to make up one of his own, “TIn January 1987, in Somerset County, NJ, Frank learns of creepy local urban legends such as “The Pigwoman’s Castle”, “The Glowing Grave”, and “The Devil Tree”. He decides to make up one of his own, “The Evil Farm”, and film a movie about it with a group of local teens. In basements, bowling alleys, shopping centers, fast food restaurants, movie theaters, supermarkets, parking lots, and beyond, the mystery unfolds… and takes a tragic turn…

The Compleat Evil Farm is an expanded version of the original, including all the footage that was shot, for a much deeper dive into the world of 1987.
