about

With NSFW language in some places (Listener Discretion Advised):

This is an Uncut and Complete recording of The 'Classic' lineup of Al Newport, Ronald Redball and Phineas Narco (along with Kalvin G. Krebs near the beginning, engineering the board) goofing around in the KFJC studio extemporaneously for about an hour amidst sound effects and musical samples. The last time the three of them were together, in 2001. Some portions of this recording appear in various 'Needle in the Red' episodes. We used to make these 'play tapes' on the weekend, late at night, at the station. This was the last one. Presented in its entirety. This was shortly after 9/11 (and contains references to it) and right before Mr. 1:15 (Newport) moved to England.

Trivia: Notice the references to 'meh' which was a meme/word that didn't catch on in popular culture until many years later.

Note! If you buy the Entire Digital Album you get BONUS material (see listing at 'Buy The Entire Digital Album' Link above and then the 'Download Information' on that page for details).

Buying the $5 track from the page you are on now does NOT include the bonus tracks.
