That one Bipolar Joe tape with too much black paint on it.

Do any of you chuckle heads happen to have a copy? I sent out a bunch, and several got lost in the mail because of a strike. I don't have a copy.

That ship sailed years ago, I’m afraid. I do have a rip of it, though.

Uh do I?
I still have a few boxes of tapes to go through but I know I have a cdr with a foil sticker cover. I found that the other day but put it back into a box of cds because I'm sorting tapes.
I probably don't have this tape...

Would you be able to upload it for me, please?

By god man, do you not save any of your masters?

At any rate, ask and ye shall receive:

Note: When doing this rip, at the time I didn't know for sure what the first track was; there's nine tracks total and at the start of the tape, there's an incredibly short (<1sec.) burst of noise followed by some silence, with four more tracks per side, so for this I assumed that short burst was in fact the first track. Actually this would be a great opportunity to confirm with you whether or not that's true.

It is yeah. All the tracks are Greek gods, because at the time I was getting into world mythology. "Ἔρις" is Eris, but obviously it reads like Epic and I thought it would be funny if it was a half second.

Thanks for the upload. I either lost the tracks in a catastrophic computer failure, or I deleted them because I was all pissy about something.

For what it's worth, listening back to it now, it's not bad.

Had I known I'd apparently be in possession of the only known digital copy of it a decade later, I'd have saved it uncompressed!

I dunno, I think I'm just feeling nostalgic. I recently found a release of mine on Soulseek which I don't have. The guy who does has it privated. When I told him to unlock it so at least the person who recorded the fucking garbage could hear it again, I got blocked. I was annoyed at the time, but it's kind of funny actually.

I recognise some of the sounds, one of them is a circuit bent keyboard I gave to DJ Scotch Egg. I might just put them all on youtube for free if I can be bothered.

Shig is such a character. I once got hit by a flying scotch egg he was launching at high speed into the audience via sling shot. I love his bass guitar work for Seefeel.
