BILL T. MILLER/O.B.E. -- "YOU RANG FOR ME? clip

Stang on VERY bad mike credits Susie, discusses sickness, bitching and griping about Nicoderm patches and the humans, from alt.slack report... sounds like a furious crazy man... beating himself up over losing a book. Admits to being fucked up from not doing drugs and from flu. "Fill My Receptor Holes," spins off into total surreal spew in delerium. Describes his various ills and malformations, voices in the head etc., discusses trip to the doctor, NEWS ABOUT X-DAY DRILL #2. Describes all Legume's planned "Activities," brags on last year's Drill. Does not actually give contact info. Questions the TASTE of continued Arnold Palmer Bleeding Head Launchings. Reads "Sin Church Sex Cult" rant that Friday sent (from back of some sleazy paperback). Reintroduces Susie's show tape.

SUSIE'S "BOB" COLLAGE CON'T:

Simpson's "Bob", Merv Griffin "Red Red Robin," Teresa Graves & Bob Hope, Dr. Howll on the Dobbshead (MANY CLIPS HERE FROM "SUBGENIUS INTERVIEWS" video), Shirley McClaine song "It's a Nice Face," Mrs.Miller: "Shadow of Your Smile," Howll: "He's BOB", Morse Code B.O.B., Merve Griffin: "Them There Eyes," Stang/Mothersbaugh/Werner "BobLovesYou"warp, Shadow: St. Mary's Cold Cuts Girl Band, Dobbs lines from Treasure of Sierra Madre, LOVE CULT trailer, clips from SUBGENIUS INTERVIEWS video, ARISE clips, QUINCY, Jenny Jones Boblines, GUTTER GIRLS Trailer

Stang cuts in to express astonishment at Rev. Susie's editing, then bitches in some detail about his own local SOUND QUALITY... gripes about the mike, starts to explain Internet radio breakthroughs, spins off into disconnected madness.

SIDE TWO

10 minutes of Stang, sick, steering the show deeper and deeper into the Slow Zone, as evidenced by every element of the gear gradually degrading. The sound is so tinny that it will probably sound better in TrueSpeech than on the raw master tape. The rant is entirely extemporaneous and mainly about the absurdly swift advances in INTERNET RADIO as contrasted to the swift degradation of Stang's real-world recording gear. Stang continues to harp on the earth shattering importance of free decent worldwide sound transmission, every home a radio station, anybody can do anything on 50 cents worth of equipment, etc. etc., brags up Wandarer's efforts, even plays tapes of how the show sounds in RealAudio, AudioActive, TrueSpeech etc. -- (bizarre revelation: TrueSpeech actually has strange crispness after mutliple generations and sounds WEIRDER but yet somehow BETTER than RealAudio -- AFTER BEING PROCESSED THROUGH REALAUDIO!!!)

((NOTE to SELF: BE SURE AND TAPE THIS SEQUENCE OFF THE WEBSITE VERSION WHEN IT'S DONE, TO SEE HOW *RECOMPRESSION* SOUNDS AFTER 2,3 GENERATIONS!!))

These seemingly portentious, numinous, inadvertently Dobbs-worshipping clips, mathematically rendered down to the bone... Stang goes off into extremely schizoid speculations/threats regarding the implanting of pared-down, pixel-res digital sound straight into the brainpan, bypassing critical faculties, and carrying the REAL instructions for the LATER triggering on, SAY, X-Day, in the BACKGROUND HISS.

Back to SUSIE'S UNFUCKINGBEFUCKINGLIEVFUCKINGABLE "BOB" AUDIO COLLAGE:

((SUSIE -- PLEASE EMAIL ME THE LOG, I CAN'T TYPE ALL THIS OUT!!!))

Suffice it to say that this is one of the most amazing audio collage/sound mixing stretches I have ever heard in the history of Dobbs-praising media barrage technique. UNBELIEVEABLE selection of clips. The "Death of "Bob" sequences are startling, and you think you've heard everything, until you get to her "SMOKE OF EVIL" pipe-related prophecy collection. Susie is one of the world's leading experts in historical sleaze in all media, and the fruits of her collection -- so to speak -- are displayed here as amply as Susie's alabaster bosom is displayed when she's preaching on stage.

This sequence or "show side) is also a real study in multiple generations of analog sound converted from one format to another -- and thus should be even more interesting from a purely technical and EAR-FUCK standpoint when heard after TrueSpeech AND/OR RealAudio compression and streaming. Susie's tape (straight off the board at WCSB) has everything from very high fidelity clips from LPs of musicals, to nth-generation recuts of ancient SubG tapes first made on boom boxes and Betamax videos, to old Kennedy Assassination noises. Listening in headphines to the doppler-like shifts in background hiss and ambient analog tape slag -- above and beyond the foreground content -- is a "trip" in itself.

But then... I'm not sure everybody is as into background hiss transitions as I am.

*********

The HAPPY ENDING:

When Jesus dropped by my office to pick up the latest sacks of prayer cloths and money, he said, "Sorry I was late, I had to buy a Valentine's Day present for my girlfriend." And he handed me a lovely package. That sweetie had gone out and spent $80 of church money on a brand new Radio Shack (nee Shure) microphrone. What a man. What a fine hunk of butt pirate that man Jesus Christ is! Praise Jesus.

He said it was a good week for the snares, so if you bought something from us, thanks. We have a new mike and we really needed one.

We still need that '97 black Chevy Silverado pick-up though.
