Praise "Bob!" Here I have for you a wonderful old sermon (the oldies are the best, aren’t they?) from Reverend Ivan Stang of the Church of the SubGenius, given around the time the Ice-T hit "Cop Killer" was in the news for being somehow a NEW theme in rock ‘n’ roll. A "new" theme that proves that what adults have been saying for (literally) millenia is right: Kids These Days are Out of Control and it’s all the fault of that awful "rap/rock and roll/jazz/ragtime/Tinpan Alley/Liszt/minuet/immoral combination of lute and singing" music! And OF COURSE that’s true! It’s always those people who are going out to have a good time who ruin the suffering for the Rest of Us!

Hour of Slack #1241 - Live Jan. 24, 2010 - The Greatest Buzz Possible
http://www.subgenius.com/ts/hos_logs/Hour_of_Slack_1241.html
This episode was broadcast live from WCSB, Cleveland, on Jan. 24, 2010, the 26th anniversary of the first assassination of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs — an event which is never acknowledged during the show, out of respect. A slew of Lemur cuts and some Local Color presage a mottered-up mess in the WCSB studio with Rev. Stang, Princess Wei, and the unusually powerful buzz of Lonesome Cowboy Dave. Everything important is covered, thoroughly. Less significant matters are merely touched upon, or skirted. Complete impunity is exercised across the board, and The Conspiracy is baldly exposed. DON’T TELL ANYBODY.

Wilhelm Stahlhelm, and Rev. Outa Spaceman.

Hour of Slack #1234 - Surreal SubGenius Muzaak Special
Some of the stranger and/or more proficient music by SubGenii that has built up in the Show Stash is featured in this episode.

Music sources include: The Psycho Skeletons, The Attery Squash, The Duke of Uke, The 180 Gs, Stang/LeMur, SODDI, and Witch Disco (descendants of Einstein’s Secret Orchestra).

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.
