Hozpitality – The Second Album (2011)

Leave a comment

The second album from Hozpitality. This one was hustled into production from the overwhelming popularity of the first album. It was short so it was called an e.p. (which is short for extended play. It is a musical recording which contains more music than a single, but is too short to qualify as a full album or LP). Oddly enough it is slightly longer than the first album. Hozpitality once again keeps you on your toes!

This album lovingly includes the “Tuffy Goosewich Suite”.  These were songs that were created using samples from the The Conet Project-Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations.  These samples were used in conjunction with Sony Acid Studio to make some sort of musical ambient sensation of subtle mystery and freakishness.

The name Tuffy Goosewich is a misspelling of the Phillies Minor League Baseball player “Tuffy” Gosewich, who was being profiled in the news at the time of the creation of these tracks.  His likeness has been lovingly distorted on the album cover.  There is no reason for this association other than it being a funny sounding name (poor guy).  Nobody should take offense to this use, as there is no malicious intent… get over it!  The way things are on the Internet these days, there is a chance this could actually make the guy more famous (if his name wasn’t so damned funny).

Track List:

  1. Tuffy Goosewich Suite(Bob Version 1) (1:46)
    Bitchin Bob’s shot at the suite.
  2. Property Patch Whore (2:12)
    Denise and CeMeGo reminisce about a night at a bar where a bunch of motorcycling whore’s come to get drunk and beat the crap out of each other.
  3. Tuffy Goosewich Suite(Chad Version 1) (1:19)
    CeMeGo’s attempt at the Tuffy suite.
  4. I’m Gonna Put This on My iPhone (2:39)
    CeMeGo hates the iPhone (guest starring Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty) (2:39)
  5. Here Kitty Kitty(Daddy n Meez Gonna Cum) (3:29)
    A family affair on the phone (where most of these take place).  Gladys is not amused!
  6. Tuffy Goosewich Suite(Chad Version 2) (1:54)
    Funny how radio noise can break down into something completely musical and misdirected at the same time.
  7. Albino Goomba (2:41)
    Need a catch phrase?  Hate everyone including yourself? This is the song for you!  If you make a t-shirt out of any of these phrases, please contact us for a good laugh!  (Language not suitable for children or anyone with rational thought).
  8. Tuffy Goosewich Suite(Dirty Mayonnaise Finale) (1:26)
    A grand finale collaboration where the radio noise becomes the musical notes.  If digital audio needed a razor blade to cut tape, this song’s creators would all have bled to death.

Tools used:

Sony Acid Loops
Adobe Audition (blah!)
Olympus Digital Voice Recorder WS-600S
Radio Shack Voice Memo Recorder

TPBs Take Second in Week 5

2 Comments

Week 5 | March 1, 2012

It was a good night for the Trailer Park Boys!  This week Davey, Xavier, Pat, Eileen (Pat’s sister), Mary, Adriene (Mary’s sister), Mark, John M, and John D showed up to play for the TPBs.

Berlin Wall

The bonus question for round one was “What was called the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart by it’s builder?” The word “rampart” caused many at the table to start singing the Star Spangled Banner only to realize that they still couldn’t figure out what a rampart was.  After some discussion, we decided that it was part of a fort. (A rampart is a defensive wall.) That lead to our best guess, the Berlin Wall.  With my uncanny ability to rationalize away right answers, I started down the path of thinking that it couldn’t be the Berlin Wall because that was build after the Nazis were defeated in World War II.  So we answered Berlin Wall and wagered no points.  We were one of those teams that had the right answer and couldn’t bring themselves to risk even 5 points on it.  WAH-WAH

We came back to nail the Fast Action Bonus (FAB) at the end of round one which added 35 points to our score!  Pete caught us off guard by putting the answer of the week in a multiple choice question.  We thought he was faking us out, sure that Chrometophobia was the fear of color.  But it turns to be the fear of money.  Excellent dis-tractor, Pete! Another 5 points missed.  Pete came back to get us again in the FAB at the end of round 2 by asking what year the Berlin Wall was built (13 August 1961).

We earned 300 more points and came in second for the week! Starting next week we will have the ability to bet all of our accumulated points for the tournament on the final bonus question which could go along way moving us up the leader board.

Here are the standing as of February 29, 2012:

TNC 1654
Driving Bus To Hell 1275
Nicky’s Friends 1033
Rusty Trumbones 1028

Hozpitality-Expressway To Your Anus

Track list:

  1. Buy Now Viagra Cialis (2:30)
    Spam never sounded so sexy.
  2. Where’s My Medicine? (6:27)
    Bob asks the age old question.  For when the pain, the itching, and the inflammation starts.
  3. Cemego One (8:14)
    New instruments, new experiment.  This was an initial stab at dynamic phrase synthesis.
  4. Hey Yahhh (4:16)

  6. Requiem For A Post Holiday Wednesday (for Gamera) (9:17)
    How to sound close to Stevie Nicks’ Stand Back, without trying.
  7. Kevin and Mary (3:29)
    Allow this tune to vaporize into your grey matter while Mary inevitably plays Nintendo.
  8. Deep Fissures (2:22)
    Chugging up like a train, to a bouncy sound about a crevasse.  When they ask, say “no way!”
  9. Burp A Burp of Liquid Dynomite (1:13)
    Burpy and explosive conclusion to your travel down the Expressway to Uranus.

Trailer Park Boys Screw the Pooch!

2 Comments

It’s that time of year again!  The Frogg Pond’s winter trivia tournament is in full swing.  The Trailer Park Boys (Mark P, Pat G, Mary B, John M, Davey K, and John D) started week 5 (of the 16 week tournament) in third place.

This week’s final questions was, “What formula did  pharmacist, John S. Pemberton, invent?” Davey wrote Dr. Pepper so fast we were all impressed.  Everyone felt very confident and the team decided to bet the farm… all of our 281 points.  Unfortunately, the answer was Coca-Cola. Luckily, we get to drop our lowest score.

Come Join Us!

The Trailer Park Boys are always looking for new members to join us on Thursdays at 7pm at the Frogg Pond in Rehoboth Beach, DE.  Pete does an amazing job of coming up with the questions and we manage to have a great time whether we win or lose.

The film that cost $20,000,000,000,000 to make

I just finished watching Inside Job, a documentary about what caused the financial crisis of 2008.

I first learned about Mortgage Backed Securities when I developed a course for Fannie Mae in the 1990’s.  And then came across the concept again when I developed training for the FDIC just prior to 2000.  What has always struck me as odd is the inability of subject matter experts to clearly describe what Mortgage Backed Securities are and how derivatives work.  It begs the question…

If these regulators didn’t understand them, how could they possibly be regulating them?

What I really don’t understand is why the executives that allowed this to happen have not been prosecuted.  At the very least, why haven’t their assets been seized?

Why do Angelo Mozilo and Richard Fuld get to keep their ill-gotten gains?

Angelo Mozilo, former CEO of Countrywide

 

Richard S. Fuld, Jr. former CEO of Lehman Brothers

This says it all…
