HOUR OF SLACK #624 -- Floozian ARMAGEDDON collage, Sterno's Portland Rants, ESO SIDE ONE Title Stang reads from and discusses Carl Sagan's last book, "THE DEMON HAUNTED WORLD -- Science as a Candle in the Dark" and also reads a thing sent by Byron Werner about "Apes in a Cage." Music by Ymmot Zepol from CD, "Cosmic Voyeur" The rest of Side One is taken up with Rev. Susie the Floozie's amazing ARMAGEDDON TIRED OF WAITING FOR IT End-o-the-World audio collage and accompanying rant. Those familiar with Susie's Media Barrage editting of her vast collection of Bulldada Sound will need no further description. The Flooze delivers quite a tour-de-frop (plus a couple of coup-de-graces) that somehow recombines every possible sound bite regarding Armageddon from Christian radio, The Simpsons, cheesy monster movies and cornball novelty records into a tasty treat indeedy. SIDE TWO POPE STERNODOX KECKHAVER live at the Portland Devival '98 with backup by NEGATIVLAND -- (Includes "The Brag of the SubGenius," "The Explanation," "'Cause He's a Dumbass," "Jesus Smoked Chesterfields," Pope Meyer's "The Rules," and Brother Cleve's "S.U.B.G.E.N.I.U.S.") -- this is one of the all-time best SubGenius devival rants ever. Clips from the movie CONSPIRACY THEORY, in which Mel Gibson plays Lonesome Cowboy Dave (I SWEAR TO GOD, HE'S PLAYING LONESOME COWBOY DAVE IN THIS MOVIE!!) EINSTEIN'S SECRET ORCHESTRA (Chas Smith and Lonesome Cowboy Dave) with guests Princess Wei and Rev. Bleepo Abernathy -- "The Williamsburg Leprechauns" and the reggae version of "EIGHTY THREE-D SQUIDS" -- from WCSB Cleveland, 3-5-98. Unusually psychedelic even for ESO. Firesign Theater fans should appreciate these superb Trance Spoutings. -- Copyright 1998 by Rev.
