MYSTO-ROCKER


Depending on your personality, this could be mildly interesting, intriguing, a great opportunity for a prank, or a pass altogether. A guy at Beware of the Blog has an ongoing series he calls "Exploring My Reel-to-Reel Catacombs." He digitizes tapes he's aquired, usually just oddball stuff. The tape he's posted for his latest installment has raw two studio recordings of an unknown rockabilly singer, and then the rest of the tape is short unrelated radio shows. The whole story of the tape is over there, including the work he's done so far trying to ID the singer.

So where's the prank part? You know how hard core rockabilly/hillbilly fiends can be total freaks when it comes to details? Put these on a mix and "forget" to write down the name of the artist. Then when they ask about it, give them the ol' "You don't know who that is?!" routine. There's nothing like watching a perfectly quiffed dude chase his tail.
