Bill McKee - Year Month Day Hour The End


Bill McKee - Year Month Day Hour The End

This is a 2 LP release about the end of the human race as we know it as Jesus is coming back soon to save us from pornography, Satan worship, astrology, immorality, free thinking along with drugs, plagues, earthquakes, "phony churches" and all the other bad stuff in the world which we all know is caused by Satan. Before Jesus makes his return, some really bad stuff is going to happen which is caused by the forces of evil. However, the obedient and faithful do-gooders won't have to suffer as they will be taken off the planet by the Rapture. If only we all listen to folks like Bill McKee who knows the course of human history. For someone who is trying to warn us of our end and the error of our sinful ways, there is hardly any background info on McKee.

The only info I have on McKee is from the liner notes which appear below:

Here's the whole picture of the "END TIMES"! Beginning with the now signs, then the Rapture, what happens in heaven, the Tribulation, war in heaven, anti-Christ, Armeggedon, the fate of Russia, China, and the world, the Great White Throne Judgement, the Millenium, the new heavens and earth.
Bill McKee is a man who speaks in a refreshingly honest and dynamic way. He has a delightful sense of humor and deep christian faith and he demonstrates an authority that spells out answers to issues and needs.
Behind Bill is a long list of accomplishments and credits. He has been selected as one of the outstanding young men in America by the United States Jr. Chamber of Commerce, has authored three books and served eight years as a missionary in the Orient with Overseas Crusades. All of which have rightfully established him as a very notable speaker. But, the thing that makes Bill a "stand out" is his ability to make the scriptures come alive.

Holiday in Washington


Holiday in Washington
My hometown of Oklahoma City is about to get an NBA pro basketball team. It's too bad that it's Seattle's team (the Supersonics). Since Washington is somehow helping Oklahoma City snag its first professional sports franchise, maybe I can do a little to help Washington in return. Perhaps people would be willing to consider visiting Washington including Seattle after listening to this 7" record that's intended to draw tourism to Washington. Washington looks like a very beautiful state and could be worth paying the extraordinarily high gas prices to get there. A holiday in Washington sounds like a nice Memorial Day weekend activity. For my visitors who live in Washington, I'm sure you already know about what is described on the back cover and on the record and proud of what Washington has to offer.Seattle may be losing the Supersonics which is probably of little consequence to most Seattle and Washington residents anyway, but no one can ever take away the natural beauty that the state has, plus superstar back-in-the-day Bing Crosby makes an appearance on this record. No doubt Bing Crosby will always have more prestige than Toby Keith. I'm not sure that Oklahoma matches with Washington in the area of natural attractions, but we Okies are going to have us an NBA team. That's all we need to keep us happy along with semi-pro college football mainly from the University of Oklahoma.


Enjoy the "sounds of the fabulous Pacific northwest."

The Preaching Puppets - Lil' Mike at the Seashore/Sunshine Mountain 7"

The Preaching Puppets - Lil' Mike at the Seashore/Sunshine Mountain 7"

Pastor Bruce Rodrick was the man behind The Preaching Puppets on this 7" record. Puppets seemed to have been an effective way to deliver the Christian message to the children and puppets are probably still helpful today. According to this website, Rodrick hosted a couple of childrens' TV programs on a Tampa Bay. Florida station. One was a daily show called "Uncle Bruce" that was considerably secular although he emphasized teaching morals. The other show was a Sunday morning show called "Kids Bible Club" where he performed Bible drama with his puppets. This show had songs and a Bible quiz. Rodrick's main character other than himself was a dummy named Little Mike who appears on this record's first track.

There's nothing outrageous, over-the-top or anything extreme to be found on this record. This is an interesting example of the use of ventriloquism to convince children to believe in a particular supernatural entity and a religious stance. I still do not know if this was recorded during his stint in Tampa Bay or afterwards.

Millard Bennett - How to Get People to Think and Act Favorably With You


Millard Bennett - How to Get People to Think and Act Favorably With You

I'm not satisfied with my status in life. I wish to be great, powerful and respected. This translates to I want to make more money, get hot women to fawn all over me and to get people to agree with me on my ideas and views on life. I want to accomplish all of these things and be a pillar of the community. If not, at least I would like to have the hot women. For some reason, the ladies don't seem to be impressed when I mention that I write a blog. When I tell them it's not just any average what-I-did-this-afternoon what-I-ate-for-lunch blah blah blah type of blog, but a blog that posts records from remarkable people like Jimmy Swaggart, Jack Van Impe, Barrie Konicov, and one of my heroes, Dr. Michael Dean among other obscure records like that Canine Heart Sounds record, the ladies aren't still impressed. They usually have puzzled looks on their faces. Come to think of it, yesterday at lunch, I ate from the buffet at a nice Chinese restaurant somewhere in downtown Oklahoma City. The sesame chicken was especially good.

Hopefully, this tape from Mr. Millard Bennett will help me get ahead in life and at least get the hot women to have a brief conversation with me. I have no doubt that Millard is a success in life if he made this tape. Millard comes up with something called the 30/10 power formula. I think it's supposed to be used as a foundation to getting people to think and act favorably with you. The 30/10 power formula goes something like this: 30 minutes a day - 10 minutes to read aloud, 20 minutes to spend in further study reading good literature or to listen to inspiring and informative recordings. According to Mr. Bennett, few people have the persistence to stick with using this formula everyday. That's surprising since this formula sounds easy to use. Since some people are afraid of talking to big shots (i.e. successful people who are esteemed people in the community), Millard said you should read books by notable authors, thinkers and experts in a field of study. That way, after reading the notable authors, thinkers and experts, the big shots aren't really big shots after all. That sounds like good advice. Maybe if I use this 30/10 power formula, the ladies and the big shots won't be too special compared to the renowned authors/thinkers. Perhaps the big shots won't be big shots anymore after I listen to this tape by Millard Bennett and I can live the high life by getting people (including the hot women) to think and act favorably with me. Of course, reality would set in as the big shots have also listened to this tape or similar ones and read the notable authors and thinkers. So, the big shots may be somewhat impressed that you're confident enough to talk to them, but they'll still view you as a peon whose existence is justified so as to make sure the big shots keep living the high life while you go nowhere. The big shots with all of their prestige and personal power won't be thinking and acting favorably with you, you'll be thinking and acting favorably with them. And so it goes.

Barrie Konicov - Stop Smoking




Barrie Konicov - Stop Smoking

Almost all of the first side of the tape consists of sounds of the ocean and boring run-of-the-mill easy-listening music. The second side is where Barrie helps you hypnotize and program yourself to not ever pick up a cigarette and light up. You're not supposed to play the second side while driving your car, but Barrie says you can drive while listening to the first side. Barrie's only joking, right? There's no way I would play the first side while driving. I don't want to doze off and crash into someone/something. Supposedly, the first side is supposed to contain subliminal messages within the water sounds and the substandard music. I'm more likely to stay awake with the second side. That's not really saying much though. Barrie does drone on with only the sounds of the ocean in the background.
I wonder how much these "quit smoking" tapes and records really helped someone to kick the habit. I've been fortunate not to have become a cigarette smoker, but I know plenty of people who used to smoke who had struggled mightily to quit. No one I know mentioned any "quit smoking" recording as a factor in aiding to free themselves from this addiction. Maybe a former smoker has used this recording or a similar recording to help kick the habit. Perhaps one of these recordings are helpful for someone trying to quit smoking.

According to Barrie's website, all of the over 160 self-hypnosis tapes designed "to assist you in changing, modifying, and improving your life" contain boring run-of-the-mill easy-listening music and sounds of the ocean on the first side and Barrie hypnotizing you on the second side. Barrie's self-hypnosis tapes covers subjects besides smoking such as acne, astral projection, bust enlargement (gotta track that one down; just to show people there are things like this that actually exist, of course), drugs, goal setting, insomnia, procrastination, remote viewing, study habits, weight loss, etc. It's too bad that there's no self-hypnosis tape for paying your taxes as maybe Barrie could have self-hypnotized himself to not avoid paying his fair share and defrauding the government by telling people how to evade the IRS.

Raymond and Peter - Shut Up Little Man


Raymond and Peter - Shut Up Little Man

This was found somewhere on the interwebs. Since I think the world needs to get better acquainted with the antics of Raymond and Peter for some reason, I decided to pass it along here on my humble little blog. All of the material on this release took place in San Francisco, California, at an apartment building in the Lower Haight area. Raymond and Peter were basically two obnoxious loud drunks who were oblivious to the fact that their neighbors lived close enough to hear them. Actually the walls in the apartment building were really thin. Raymond and Peter mostly shouted at each other and even fought each other. A couple of Raymond and Peter's neighbors were becoming increasingly frustrated by the noise, but intimidated by the occasional violent threats by Raymond and Peter towards each other. So they just decided to record Raymond and Peter doing their thing. The guys who recorded Raymond and Peter got some laughs out of the shouting and the rants then they started to imitate Raymond and Peter and reciting their arguments. They have recorded hours and hours of Raymond and Peter. These recordings have been sold on several cassettes along with merchandise such as t-shirts, bumper stickers and even death certificates of Raymond and Peter. Curious to know how private conversations could become available for public consumption. Then again the neighbors' friend mentions that "you have to wonder how much right to privacy a person who's screaming at the top of their lungs expects."
There is a third person named Tony who sometimes dropped in at Raymond and Peter's place. Tony is a "white trash" drifter who seemed to have only contributed to the tension between Raymond and Peter. Tony at times would get in the arguments or start arguments himself where he shouted and threatened violence.



Shut Up Little Man is a best-of compilation of the recorded material. Most of the material is profane. The track titles let you know what you're in for when listening. If you're easily offended, this is definitely not for you. Otherwise, Shut Up Little Man offers a fascinating glimpse into a world that hopefully most would be fortunate enough not to experience. I think it's also funny as hell.

*I don't know if that phone number is still active. I haven't got around to dialing the number, but maybe one of you visitors can try calling and find out. I'm not sure that this Audio Sellers/Money Machine company is still in business. Nothing has turned up about this company on the search engines.


This particular LP was released to radio stations across the United States (this was before Clear Channel bought almost every radio station in existence) to advertise and demonstrate what services The Money Machine offered. This was released sometime in the mid-to-late 1970s, I would guess. The Money Machine was supposed to aid in bringing more income to radio stations as well as helping to bring more revenue to businesses that advertised on the radio. There's some material on this LP that would make for some nice samples for any producers and musicians out there. This is also a worthy artifact in the area of radio history and advertising. I think The Money Machine has helped radio stations be financially successful for a period of time, but it didn't help radio stations withstand the forces of media consolidation.
