@icastico @vinylrecords I bought that on cassette from a bargain bin in a comic book shop ages ago; I think it was only $1!

Reminds me of when I bought a Zoviet France cassette at a gas station in a rack next to Conway Twitty and Glen Campbell.

@icastico @vinylrecords I had to look #ZovietFrance up, had never heard of them before. The first article I read began “They could neither play instruments ...” I picked an album at random (Garista) ... holy heck, I was in a band ages ago (#Dynamicaracket) and we were definitely kindred spirits!

What the heck was a band like ZF doing in a gas station, anyway? lol

Yeah. It’s a good question. It was in Santa Fe #NM - art capital of the world, but it was still outta place.

Edit: it was this one (video is the CD reissue - I got the cassette in like ‘87) https://youtu.be/x5cxTwcf9Xk?si=SOpRrKs6yBZ_OBeL

@icastico @vinylrecords Listened to Gesture Signal Threat last night: good stuff!

When you found the cassette at the gas station, had you heard ZF before, or just bought it out of curiosity?

Bought it cuz it looked out of place. First I had heard of them.
