Hour of Slack #567 "Stang's New Mike"

(Feb.19 1997)

Despite flu and an epidemic of Squabblin' Bobbies, the Show must go on.

SIDE ONE

Stang tests out his brand new mike; Joe Auffricht Intro; Title w/ KPFA Theme World

MR. SMILEY song, "We Are SubGeniuses, We Must Have Slack"

Stang credits this new, Devo-ish SubGenius band from SF.

Side One of this show is almost nonstop Stang monolog, slipping from homey preacher to crazy megalomaniac to serious newscaster, etc., rapid fire, probably due to sheer enthusiasm over new microphone, and happy to be getting over bad flu. (Lots of good notes and news of various other SubGenius projects had stacked up.)

Background music is by Zoogz Rift (misc, instrumentals from VILLAGERS) and by Huge Voodoo/ DK Jones from recent Ambient tapes. Also some Cosmic Triad (El Diablo)

TOPICS COVERED:

News on Holy Wafer Theivery and potential for Christ-cloning from Host.
