Hour of Slack #1228 — Balloon Boy Live Special 10-18-2009

http://www.subgenius.com/ts/hos_logs/Hour_of_Slack_1228.html

For once, Hour of Slack offers a news scoop. It turns out that in 2002, the son of Stang (now a director in Hollywood) was employed by Richard Heene, father of the kid known as Balloon Boy. This live show (featuring guest cowpoke Lonesome Cowboy Dave) is a look into the minds, such as they are, of the Heenes, with rather revealing recordings of their 911 calls, testimony about them by young Stang and another former employee of the Heenes, and numerous poems by the writers of alt.slack that were composed during the hoax-news event. We also delve into kookdom in general and the relationships of various kooks with the mass media. A big song by Little Fyodor caps the show.

  1. Hour of Slack #1233 - “Bob” Vs. The Conspiracy

    http://www.subgenius.com/ts/hos_logs/Hour_of_Slack_1233.html

    A good old-fashioned Hour of Slack — albeit all-new. This one features a little bit of everything and everybody, with the accent on "Bob" Dobbs on the one hand, and The Conspiracy of the Normals on the other. Collages by all the masters, music from The Attery Squash, The 180 Gs, Stang/LeMur, Wilhelm Stahlhelm, Gadgetto, and others, and rants from various devivals and radio shows by old and young stalwarts, accent on the warts. And the discerning few will crap profusely when they hear the opening promo.

  2. Hour of Slack #1225: High Weirdness

    Last summer, Rev. Ivan Stang was interviewed by the British radio show RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE SITTING NOW. The main subject was Stang’s old book about extremists of all flavors, HIGH WEIRDNESS BY MAIL. We intercut some of that show with all manner of miscellaneous kook-related music, and audio samples from the actual kooks themselves. Also: New songs from Little Fyodor and Ricardo Autobahn.

    The Church of the SubGenius Radio Ministry seeks to brainwash you totally into abject lifelong subservience to The High Epopt and Living SlackMaster, J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

  3. Hour of Slack #1235 - Live Radio Synesthesia with Lonesome Cowboy Dave, Rev. Stang, Dr. Sinister

    December 6, 2009 - Lonesome Cowboy Dave and Rev. Ivan Stang phoned in to Dr. Sinister’s talk show, Radio Synesthesia, on WCSB Cleveland, and breathlessly talked for an hour about everything. EVERYTHING. All human cultures, their languages, and their general historical upshots are thoroughly covered in this hour. Not one single stone on any beach on Earth is left unturned. Guest caller No Money Mark also chimes in. While most Hours of Slack consist of 30 to 50 discreet tracks, this one consists of 4.
