1:22:37 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic recording from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to release more of my archives.

Tape Land is back, today, April 25, 2020, after a hiatus of over 8 months. In that time, I went on an big trip to Europe, bought a new house, visited Texas, moved into the new house, and am now in the midst of the lockdown of the Coronavirus crisis. With so much going on, it was hard to get back into Tape Land, as it can be so mentally and emotionally draining to go through the old tapes. But in any case, it’s back, with one episode per month for the time being.

The tape for this episode is very interesting – it’s from late 1989 (and a little in early 1990). I record many bizarre dreams, including one, about my grandmother’s missing cat Fuzzy, which prompted me to go and search specific areas in the following days. Also, I record on a trip to Boston, where I hung out with some Moonies, and then back to staying with my brother in Providence, Rhode Island. Toward the end, I relate part of a dream about gods and goddesses living in a hotel, which I subsequently used as the basis for one of my Severe Repair stories. As I say on the tape, the rest of the dream is recorded on a tape called “1989 into 1990 #1”, which I do have, and which will be a future Tape Land release.
