Mon, 14 December 2009  December 6, 2009 - Lonesome Cowboy Dave and Rev. Ivan
Stang phoned in to Dr. Sinister's talk show, Radio Synesthesia, on WCSB
Cleveland, and breathlessly talked for an hour about everything. EVERYTHING. All
human cultures, their languages, and their general historical upshots are thoroughly
covered in this hour. Not one single stone on any beach on Earth is left
unturned. Guest caller No Money Mark also chimes in. While most Hours of Slack
consist of 30 to 50 discreet tracks, this one consists of 4.

Some of the stranger and/or more proficient music by
SubGenii that has built up in the Show Stash is featured in this episode. We
also present unusually long excerpts of movie dialog from some equally unusual
movies that might otherwise escape the notice of many weirdness connoisseurs.
Music sources include: The Psycho Skeletons, The Attery Squash, The Duke of
Uke, The 180 Gs, Stang/LeMur, SODDI, and Witch Disco (descendants of Einstein's
Secret Orchestra). The last remaining shreds of Rev. Stang's rant from Starwood
Festival 2009 are included along with collages by LeMur and Phineas Narco.

A good old-fashioned Hour of Slack -- albeit all-new.
This one features a little bit of everything and everybody, with the accent on
"Bob" Dobbs on the one hand, and The Conspiracy of the Normals on the
other. Collages by all the masters, music from The Attery Squash, The 180 Gs,
Stang/LeMur, Wilhelm Stahlhelm, Gadgetto, and others, and rants from various
devivals and radio shows by old and young stalwarts, accent on the warts. And
the discerning few will crap profusely when they hear the opening promo. Portland Devival photos, videos, and detailed report: Comments[1] |
Wed, 25 November 2009 We have some GREAT new music (The Attery Squash,
SODDI, Mutant Mountain Boys, Kenneth Jonsson, The Duke of Uke, and the grand
southern mission of the first thing that came into my bobslack) and some of the
best ranting from the Portland Cyclone of Slack devival from last October: Dr.
Hal, Rev. Crawford Smith, and Dr. Onan Canobite. There's also a goodly stretch
of Radio Synaesthesia, involving Lonesome Cowboy Dave. It's all peppered with
wonderful ear-humping collages by LeMur, Phineas Narco, Rev. Sweetness McGee,
Rev. Eric, The Large, and Wilhelm Stahlhelm.

Tue, 17 November 2009 Every year, the great Cleveland station WCSB has a
pledge drive or "Radiothon," and we at Hour of Slack love this one
single time each year, when we are able to legally grub for money just like
regular Christian evangelists. You see, the stations that carry Hour of Slack
are all public-supported and thus we can't exactly advertise. Even during
pledge drives, we can only grub money for the station. And boy, do we! Because
this episode may be aired by other stations, and because the WCSB pledge drive
is already over, we have reversed or cut the Cleveland phone number for pledges
from these copies. But, if you want to pledge, the phone number is: 216-687-6900.
Or, you can always mail or Paypal your pledge to stang@subgenius.com, aka
SubGenius, PO Box 181417, Cleveland Hts OH 44118. Or (and this is probably
easiest) just buy something from subgenius.com. Praise "Bob."

Tue, 10 November 2009 This is a rerun of episode number 374 from early 1993,
when we were still in Dallas. We have lots of recordings on hand from the recent
devival in Portland, but we are in the middle of a somewhat larger SubGenius
project and rather than edit those new cuss-filled rantings, we're saving time
with this fine rerun, which includes readings from REVELATION X, the SubGenius
book that was in progress at the time. Incidentally, there is now an archive of
mp3s of hundreds of old, uncut Hours of Slack from the 90s, free for
downloading, and if you want to check those out, see subgenius.com and click on
the RADIO button in the upper left. That will show you links to the old shows,
hundreds of newer shows, and text logs of every track on every show. You can
even... subscribe. There is a Church devival in Detroit on Nov. 28, with The
Amino Acids and many more, and weekly subrants by Pope Mike Flores in Chicago
every week of December -- for info see the EVENTS page at subgenius.com.

Tue, 3 November 2009 17 years ago! This one is a mix of recordings from
various SubGenius shows at various stations, including KPFA's Puzzling Evidence
and Cleveland's WCSB from long before the SubGenius Foundation moved to
Cleveland! You'll hear people who have long since been unpersoned, and much
younger voices of people you now think of as old. There's also some great kook,
prank-call and Bad Music material for the bulldada collectors. Hopefully you
will be inspired to donate to the WCSB.org pledge drive coming up next week. We
could all use a donation, actually. DID I MENTION that there is a SubGenius
devival with the Amino Acids in Detroit this November 28, and weekly devivals
in Chicago all through December? No? Well, see subgenius.com events for
details. And with that, we hop into the wayback machine and vanish, backwards!

Mon, 19 October 2009 For
once, Hour of Slack offers a news scoop. It turns out that in 2002, the son of
Stang (now a director in Hollywood) was employed by Richard Heene, father of
the kid known as Balloon Boy. This live show (featuring guest cowpoke Lonesome
Cowboy Dave) is a look into the minds, such as they are, of the Heenes, with
rather revealing recordings of their 911 calls, testimony about them by young
Stang and another former employee of the Heenes, and numerous poems by the
writers of alt.slack that were composed during the hoax-news event. We also
delve into kookdom in general and the relationships of various kooks with the
mass media. A big song by Little Fyodor caps the show.

Mon, 19 October 2009 We
return to Starwood Festival with Rev. Stang's sermon to the pagans, an
interview from Right Where You Are Sitting Now about Starwood, and several bits
of location recordings. Little Fyodor and Babushka contribute a song from their
new album, and the show is generally punctuated with collages by LeMur and
others. Puzzling Evidence is represented. Our frequent caller Bernard is again
featured, and we close with the late Prof. Chas Smith's classic "Jaguar
Night," performed at Starwood by Witch Disco (the descendant of Chas
Smith's band, Einstein's Secret Orchestra).

First of two shows centered around the 2009 Starwood festival, utilizing Stang's sermon to the pagans, clips from an episode of Right Where You Are Sitting Now with Stang guesting, Radio Synesthesia from WCSB Cleveland, and location recordings of various Starwood events. Collages by The Great LeMur, The Large and signal2noise, and new songs by Little Fyodor and The Attery Squash help immeasurably in muddying the spiritual waters. Bernard continues to leave important messages on The SubGenius Foundation answer machine. Comments[0] |
