Hour of Slack #1388 - Fire & Water: The Bobtism and The Burning

A little of everything this time. Dr. Hal and Dr. Drummond return from 15X-Day and talk about it on the Puzzling Evidence Show. Their critiques lead to songs by various bands (Evolution Control Committee, Amoeba Knievel, The Slot Rods, Andrew the Impaled, The Amino Acids, Several Fisted Tails of Connie) as well as to Stang's edit of the Naked Bobtism ceremony and the Bonfire Burning of "Bob" location recordings. Collages by Rev. Phineas Narco and LeMur help stir the pot. Also: mini-sermons by Dr. G. Gordon Gordon and music by The Psycho Skeletons and Jonathan Coulton.

Hour of Slack #1387.5 XXX-Rated - 15X-Day Internet-Only Special

This is one of our rare Internet-Only shows, composed of audio that would be pointless if rendered fuckless and shitless for broadcast radio. Aside from Legume's reworking of the infamous Shelley Dankert rant and the LeMur titles, it's all from 15X-Day, with rants by Dr. Philo Drummond (WARNING: "Who We Hate" is not very "p.c."), Rev. Pockets, Rev. Suds Pshaw, and Rev. Stang, plus much excellent improv doktor jamming with disgusting and filthy vocals by Rev. Angry Larry, Phat ManDee and especially Priestess Pisces. First of two XXX-X-Day episodes.

Hour of Slack #1387 - Rerun of #942 - The Invisible Collage

With this rerun we buy time to give the last of the 15X-Day recordings the attention they deserve. This is a live show from 5-9-04 with Princess Wei, Lonesome Cowboy Dave, and Stang in the station, but it's also the premiere of "The One-Liners Collage" v 01.1 -- an intense collage of collages, mostly by Fernandinande Lemur but also with great cut-ups by Norel Pref, Rev. nu-monet, Rev. Artemia Salina, Heart Ignition, iDRMRSR and others. There are songs by The Bonzo Dog Band and Hank Flloyd & the Swerving Headlights, and music by Norel Pref.

Hour of Slack #1386a - WCSB Pledge Drive - Live 2012-11-11

We're putting two shows online this week, because it was pledge drive time at WCSB, which meant that for the other broadscast stations we had to provide a rerun. And it's one of the best reruns. That's #1386b. However, we're putting 1386a online too, because both funny and sad stuff happened. And, hey, both WCSB and the Church will take your donation even if it doesn't come from Cleveland! Imagine that! What a surprise! (There's a donation button on the home page of SubSITE and Hour of Slack donation/subscription buttons at: http://subgenius.com/ts/hos.html ) P.S. We feel we should let the too-empathic (and/or the gullible) know that Rev. Stang's insane nervous breakdown near the end is just a performance. Well, MAINLY a performance. There's SOME truth to it.

Hour of Slack #1386b - Rerun of #984 - SubGenius Album Sampler

We're putting two shows online this week, because it was pledge drive time at WCSB -- meaning that we had to provide this rerun for the other broadscast station. And it's one of the best reruns. The description of it from 2005 applies perfectly well this year too:

I was falling behind on Hour of Slack, yet there's a TITANIC MASS of new material to sort through. Only way to catch up was to FORGET THE NEW, for this week, and use what was already digitized and "prepped" - like for instance all the SubGenius albums! So I grabbed one or two sound files each, whichever I remembered being especially true to "Bob", from the following SubGenius CD albums:

Bobsongs 1 through 6

Media Barrages 0, 5, 10, 11, 12

Hour of Slack Classics

Best of Hour of Slack/ESO live radio

It turned out so well that we sell this collection as a CD too!
