The tape was in the bottom of the bag and something had dripped on it. I couldn't play it because it would stop at the sticky spot, so I took it out of the 4-track and moistened the tape surface with a swab. It loosened from the casing and I pulled out the loop of tape that had been spilled on. I licked it off with my tongue a few times. It played perfectly. It was a tape of the latest OOLYAKOO session. I'm listening to playback on my computer. Or at least I was before I put in a tape of a BLAUDO* get together from last Saturday. It's generally a very hot recording, but there is some fun stuff in all of it that is being salvaged. I'm dumping it into The Beast as we speak... wait a minute. We're not speaking. Two guitar amps were blown out on Saturday. They’re in my trunk hopefully en route to a repair shop. There’s a wild jam at the end of the tape before the second one gave out. Wild shit. We’ll have to get it up on one of these sites. Perhaps MZZL. I’ve been meaning to update some songs in the HEAR section. There’s a process I have to go through of changing tracks to a format that will upload to this site. I have about four new ones ready to put up. Perhaps I’ll get around to it this weekend…
