Jimmy Nelson - Jimmy Nelson's Instant Ventriloquism

Jimmy Nelson - Jimmy Nelson's Instant Ventriloquism

The Basement, as you now know, also attempts to provide opportunities to learn useful skills. That would be cool if some of my visitors gain the ability to be ventriloquists. It seems that the fine art of ventriloquism has nearly vanished though it did show up in America's Got Talent. This record offers people the abilities to quickly master the art of ventriloquism. All they need is a puppet/dummy or two and, of course, the means to listen to this record. Jimmy Nelson along with two of his friends, Danny O'Day and Farfel, guide the listener through mastering the difficult letters and encouraging people to keep practicing.

Corelli-Jacobs - Music to Grow Plants

Corelli-Jacobs - Music to Grow Plants

If your plants need any help growing, I guess that this would do the job. Dr. George Milstein thought that this was really a good idea.

George Milstein, a New York horticulturist, has determined that music helps plants grow. 'The secret,' he says, 'is a high frequency sound that blends right in with the music. I believe that the sound waves cause the plants to keep their pores open longer and wider, allowing a greater exchange with the air around them.' So once a day for forty-five minutes he plays music for his plants, and he has been so successful that he now has produced a record called Music to Grow Plants By. (Captain James Conely in Air University Review March-April 1972)

The music is orchestral sorta-funk lounge, the type of music used in movies and TV shows back in the 1970s when this record came out and also found on "library" records.

Note: The music is credited to Corelli-Jacobs on the record's label. There doesn't seem to be any information about them on the Internet.

Texe Marrs - Big Sister is Watching You [book cover]

Hillary Clinton, widely considered the favorite, has lost the nomination to Barack Obama to represent the Democratic party in the upcoming United States presidential election. However, there is still a small chance that "Big Sister" could be chosen to be Obama's running mate and therefore become vice-president if Obama wins the election.

This book was published in 1993, when the Clintons were just beginning their reign. Gas prices averaged somewhere around 70-80 cents a gallon, sub-prime was not a type of mortgage, and the USA didn't go invade another country. However, there was supposedly some bad stuff going on behind the scenes of the Clinton administration. I'm not talking about sneaking off with some intern to get blown, it's some really bad stuff that affected the lives of the citizenry.

Texe Marrs, who previously exposed the diabolical New Age Movement, tells us in this tome that Hillary Clinton and a bunch of feminists rule America (or rather did back then) with Gestapo tactics. It's funny. I don't remember any Gestapo like behavior occurring then. I don't even remember feminists controlling the government. Maybe my memory is not as good as it used to be and for some reason I only remember that the economy was really good.

After leafing through this book, I realize that I am ignorant of what has been going on in this country during the last decade. Texe writes profiles of Hillary and her merry band of friends such as Janet Reno, Dr. Joycelyn Elders, Madeline Albright, Maya Angelou, etc., who were in important and powerful positions in government. They were part of the diabolical New Age Movement as well as part of the New World Order, Texe tells us. Some of them even wanted to have young people learn how to use condoms much less learn about sex. Also, Hillary and her women friends plotted to lead the New World Order and rule the world. I couldn't believe that all of these women were in power. Perish the thought. Thank goodness that Texe Marrs had the courage to write this book. Amazingly, the guy never got taken away by the Big Sister Gestapo and is still working today to expose the New World Order and the evil New Age Movement.

On the back cover:

Who's In Charge, And Why Are They Doing These Things To Us?

They are unlike anything the world has ever experienced. They're ruthless, shrewd, and calculating - and they've got a stranglehold on the White House. Recruited and empowered by their boss, Hillary, these are the women who tell Bill Clinton what to do. Get ready, America, for the rise of the FemiNazis!

Big Sister is Watching You unmasks the coven of brutally correct women who now rule over us. Hillary's regiment of hardened, militant feminists include lesbians, sex perverts, child molester advocates, Christian haters, and the most doctrinaire of communists. They possess awesome Gestapo powers. One heads the FBI, another the IRS. Five are members of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations - subversive organizations whose goal is to end American sovereignty and bring about a global Marxist paradise.


Then there's Hillary Rodham Clinton. What dark power does she exercise over her husband, Bill? What's her real goal? Is she plotting behind the scenes to become President of the United States of America? Will she then go on to usher in a frightening New Millennium?

George Orwell's prophetic novel, 1984, warned us about Big Brother. Now, in the bizarre 1990s, it's time to "Move over Big Brother ... your meaner Big Sister is moving in!"

Texe Marrs is author of over 30 books, including the #1 national bestseller, Dark Secrets of the New Age, and Millennium: Peace, Promises, and the Day They Take Our Money Away. He has taught political science, American government, and defense policy for the University of Texas at Austin and two other universities, and has appeared on radio and TV talk shows across America.

Brent Rinehart update

For anyone who cares, comic book writer Brent Rinehart lost last night in the Republican Oklahoma County District 2 primary. I was hoping he would prevail so that he can stay in the news a little longer and perhaps provide material for some more filler posts in this blog. It's too bad his comic book didn't help him much as it was maybe the most entertaining thing I've read this year.

Brent obviously thought highly of his comic book as a device to win the nomination that he did not bother to engage in the usually excessive activity of throwing an election watch party. Instead, he chose to watch the new Batman flick. However, Brent made the mistake of leaving his cell phone turned on and his phone was constantly ringing. Brent probably wished that he was at the gay pride parade as I imagine that the other people at the theater were none too pleased at having their viewing, of Heath Ledger's last movie, constantly being interrupted. I don't think Brent will be getting a job writing for Marvel or DC anytime soon as Brent will undoubtedly be serving time real soon for felony campaign finance charges.

Check out or revisit the earlier post about Rinehart and read his comic book.

Also, actual posts (as in shares) are on the way.

Texe Marrs - Mystery Mark of the New Age [book cover]

Texe Marrs continues his expose of the diabolical "New Age Movement" headed by none other than Lucifer, of course. He picks up where he left off from his "#1 bestseller", Dark Secrets of the New Age. Where the heck did this book become a #1 bestseller anyway?

EDIT: As with all covers, be sure to click on the cover to look at a larger picture to see all of the details. Especially for this book.



From the back cover:

The Evil One has a Plan. Satan, the prince of this world, is unleashing a campaign of wickedness the likes of which have never before been seen on earth. No one, except those who have put their trust in Jesus Christ, will escape.

A strategic part of Satan's Plan - revealed in startling detail in this new book - includes a worldwide initiation into his service through the imposition of a Mark on the forehead or right hand. This is the Mark of the Beast, the man with the number 666. What will this Mark be? Nobody knows for sure. But it will almost certainly be one of the marks occultists and New Age enthusiasts are already beginning to use. These mysterious marks - pentagrams, triangles, twisted crosses, and others - whose meaning and significance author Texe Marrs thoroughly explores and documents, are being used to break down resistance to the coming great Luciferic Initiation. The past few years have seen a dramatic increase in the spread of these unholy symbols - on record jackets, posters, T-shirts, in magazines and other media, and even as corporate logos.

This explosive book exposes the darkness of the New Age Movement and uncovers Satan's bold design for world domination. Mystery Mark of the New Age fully reveals Satan's sobering Plan to give every man, woman, and child his unholy Mark. Yet the book ends on a note of triumph for all believing Christians - the glorious hope of our Lord's return.

Texe Marrs is the author of the #1 bestseller Dark Secrets of the New Age and more than a dozen other books. He has taught at the University of Texas at Austin as well as two other universities. A retired career officer in the U.S. Air Force, he currently heads Living Truth Ministries in Austin, Texas. He is in demand as a speaker in churches and organizations and has appeared on radio and TV talk shows across America.

Texe Marrs - Dark Secrets of the New Age [book cover]

Probably between posts on records or other audio, I'm going to start a series of posts focusing on books (for the hell of it and see where this goes). These certainly will not be books that are a part of Oprah's Book Club. It's also highly likely that these books will not be taught in any reputable academic institution or not recommended by The New York Times Book Review. I believe that most of the books to be presented here are under the radar (perhaps for good reason). I could easily cheat and just surf all over the internet to find covers for interesting, unusual and odd books. But I would rather post about books that I find in real life as the posts may turn out a little better if I have a personal connection with a copy of the book. However, this doesn't mean that I actually read the entire book. In some cases, I do not plan to take the time to even read a single page. The cover and the blurb on the back cover are usually more interesting than the text contained in the pages IMO.

You are welcome to comment on the book or comment on the author(s). Also, you can comment if you like or do not like this idea of posts about books. Yes, the majority of the books talked about are in my personal collection. I may or may not write personal comments about the books. It depends on what book it is.

The posts on books shall start with a gem from Mr. Texe Marrs who has been warning people about the diabolical "New Age Movement." The back cover is best at explaining the essence of this book along with giving a brief background of the author.


On the back cover:

In the pages of this revealing new book, the secret "Plan" of the New Age Movement is exposed for the first time in startling detail. Basing the book on an in-depth investigation of the Movement, author Texe Marrs includes over 600 actual quotes from New Age leaders which unveil their "Plan" for establishing a New Age Messiah to lead a One-World Religion and a global government. As part of the "Plan," the Movement intends to wage a total spiritual war against Christian believers. Their ultimate goal? To eliminate every vestige of Christianity.

This is the most complete and well-documented book ever published about the New Age Movement. It shows exactly what is now being done by the New Age leadership to gain influence in every facet of society, from the entertainment industry to public schools and government. Marrs details specifically the New Age Plan to win over the next generation by flooding the media - TV cartoon shows, movies, comic books, libraries, etc. - with material that promotes New Age religious thinking and doctrine. Finally, Marrs shows how New Age ideas have already begun to infiltrate and undermine Christian churches from within.

Dark Secrets of the New Age is a sobering expose of the alarming New Age Movement with an urgent message for every believing Christian.

Texe Marrs is the author of more than a dozen books on computers, technology, and Christian faith in the modern world. He has taught at the University of Texas at Austin as well as two other universities. He is a retired career officer in the U.S. Air Force and currently heads Living Truth Ministries in Austin, Texas. He frequently speaks to churches and other organizations on the New Age Movement and has appeared on radio and TV talk shows across America.

My Wish List (a.k.a. Requests)

Well, since the NBA is finally in Oklahoma City, I would like to learn more about the history of our new team that used to play in Seattle. I would like to know about the team's only championship which means that it would be wonderful if someone could provide this LP for the Basement. By the way, it's cool that OKC's team already has a championship. That's one more than the Dallas Mavericks and several other teams. ;)

It should be noted that the Seattle Supersonics name and the team colors and uniforms will not be used in Oklahoma City. The team is allegedly to be called the Thunder or the Barons and the championship banner will supposedly be hung in the arena in OKC so that the people will feel proud that not only do they have a big league team, but they have a team with a championship.

It would make me happy, if someone is kind enough to share a part of Supersonics history. For my visitors in Seattle and in the state of Washington, yes we all agree that Clay Bennett is the Anti-Christ.

I should not forget to point out that I made a post earlier in the year in an attempt to persuade people to visit the lovely state of Washington.

I have also made a wish list of stuff I would like to have and it is on the right side of this blog. I'm not sure if I made enough posts to have a request list, but what the heck. It would be awesome if my visitors could provide one or as many as possible of the requested items and help make the Basement a special and unique place. This is hard to believe but I've heard a rumor that the Basement is almost good enough to be a Blogger Blog of Note.

Yeah, I'm not believing it either.

Thanks for dropping by and I'll talk to you soon.

Stag Party in London Vol. 2

Stag Party in London Vol. 2

I was a surprised to spot a copy of this record here in Oklahoma. As you can see, the words "FOR ADULTS ONLY" and a picture of a naked woman are on the cover. Not only was I surprised to find a copy here in the state, but surprised to find a copy at the public library's annual sale where many children were roaming around and could have seen this cover. However, none of the children showed any interest in records when I was there. Personally I find that sad, but am relieved that I didn't have to hear any complaints from the prudes (whom I believe still account for a majority of the populace here). The library would have been forced to scrutinize and further examine the contents of the records. Then again, this copy may have accidentally been overlooked and found its way to the racks.

According to the liner notes, this collection of songs was improvised by rugby players during their showers after games. Soldiers and laborers have also contributed some of the lyrics to these songs. This LP was recorded at a men's party. The liner notes do not mention that it was a stag party, yet I do assume that it was a stag party. The songs are quite memorable. The day before yesterday, I caught myself singing one of these songs in the shower. I won't mention which one it was, as I feel embarassed admitting it. The songs are of a risque nature where lust and um, having relations are emphasized. Okay, they do get very raunchy. They have quite a large amount of swear words. If this record was to be reissued, it would come with a large "parental advisory explicit lyrics" sticker attached to it. All but one of the songs have a group of grown men singing in unison. The songs are renditions of folk songs where the vocals are accompanied by a piano, accordion and drums although the lyrics are obviously altered.

Kids, if you come across this post, I'll point out again that this is FOR ADULTS ONLY. I say this so that I won't corrupt your innocent minds and that your parents won't get pissed at me. You're better off with something more family-friendly like R. Kelly or Kid Rock. I think that's what you kids still listen to as I haven't kept up with popular music.

Actually, the artists I mentioned really suck so if you want to listen to this and impress your friends that you have these raunchy songs, go right ahead. Chances are the music on this album is better than what you've been listening to so far. Plus, you either already know about this sexual stuff or will hear about it soon anyway.

In case anyone wants to know, I do not have Vol. 1.

Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart's Comic Book

The bandwidth for uploading audio is slow on my end, so I decided to write a different type of post to try it out.

Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart is running for reelection this year so he had someone draw a comic book to be used as campaign literature. Brent wrote all of the text. This comic book is being mailed out to people who live in Oklahoma county which is mostly Oklahoma City and its surrounding suburbs. The artwork is very similar to what is in those Jack Chick booklets. The comic book depicts Rinehart's struggles against the forces of evil such as liberal good ol' boys, Satan, and homosexuals. These evildoers are trying to stop the Republican Christian conservative hero from being reelected. The "Roads Scholar" Brent Rinehart displays his amazing grasp of English grammar and spelling.

A local news source obtains the reactions of other local politicians to the comic book. Brent's comic book also is covered in one of the national news outlets. I live in the county that is south of Oklahoma County, so I don't have a vote in the Oklahoma County Commissioner race. Nonetheless, this makes me glad that I don't have to cower in shame when someone asks me where I am from. Have I already mentioned that Oklahoma City now has a major league (National Basketball Association (NBA)) basketball team?

Here's the comic for your reading pleasure.

Pat Robertson on Music

Pat Robertson - Teens' Question #6 (Music) [single track]

Lately, I've been busy that I hardly had any time to post an update to this blog much less to even rip and upload stuff. Not to worry, more posts may or may not show up during the next several days. Most of my time is spent finding employment.

However, I have a little time to update this blog. I'm sure most of my visitors know who Pat Robertson is, but just in case, refer to this site and this site. I could type out a long post on Pat, but I only have a little time as I already mentioned.

The subject of this post is a track from Pat Robertson. It is from a 2-tape set called Answers for Today's Parents and Teens that came out 15 to 20 years ago (my guess). One tape is a recording of a group of parents asking Pat advice on basically how to raise their children. The other tape is a group of teenagers asking Pat questions on topics from drinking to sex to spirituality. Pat dispenses his wisdom on both of those tapes and both parents and teens are left in awe of Pat's sagely advice. This particular track is from the tape with the teens' questions. The question is about music and Pat says that basically the music the kids are into glorify Satan, drugs and sex as well as blaspheming Jesus. Pat also gives an explanation of the term "rock 'n' roll".

This track to me is the most interesting from this 2-tape set. The rest didn't interest me enough to take the time to post them. If anyone is interested in the whole set, I'll see what I could do. Meanwhile, you too can learn what music is wrong.

UPDATE: The file is back online. Special thanks to Loopy C for reuploading the file for me.

Willard Cantelon - LSD: Battle for the Mind

Willard Cantelon - LSD: Battle for the Mind

*Special thanks for aethr for also sharing this one in the comments section.

I could sit all day and stare at that cover.

Oh, but I have a post to write. Willard Cantelon is another good moral man like W. Cleon Skousen who wants to save us all from the evils of LSD. Willard is not exactly a dynamic speaker (in other words, nowhere as exciting as the cover). He's not as much fun to listen to as say Jack Van Impe or Jimmy Swaggart, but the material in his lecture is more than interesting enough to keep one's attention even if it's from a Christian perspective. Although, I don't quite come away being scared out of my wits when Cantelon describes the gruesome details of the effects of LSD. I think that Van Impe would do a lot better job at that. Interestingly, I've noticed that snippets of this album appear on playlists on psychedelic music radio shows.

Ah, screw it, I'm done writing. I want to go back to looking at the cover. Anyone want to engage in a staring contest with the dude on the cover?

W. Cleon Skousen - Instant Insanity Drugs

W. Cleon Skousen - Instant Insanity Drugs

Special thanks to aethr for providing this one in the comments section.

Instant Insanity Drugs was released on the Key Records label, the same label that released Tony Dolan's album, previously posted on this blog. I found out that Key Records was a rightwing outfit affiliated with the John Birsch Society when I did a little research on Skousen's background.

Skousen was an FBI agent before he fully delved into writing conservative commentary. He is known for the book The Naked Communist which is about the evils of communism and their diabolical plans to turn America's children into drugged up commies and immoral blasphemers or something like that. Skousen also served on the faculty at Brigham Young University and active in the Mormon Church of the Latter Day Saints. Skousen tries to educate about the dangers of illegal narcotics or "psychedelic drugs". The guy who wrote the liner notes, Vick Knight, Jr., an assistant superintendent in a school district in Orange County, California, claims that:

Skousen brilliantly unmasks the Timothy Learys among us, the Pied Pipers who tell our youngsters they can "turn on, tune in and drop out" by means of potent weeds and seeds and chemical compounds. He tells why there is no such thing as a "good trip".

Then Vick says this LP should be required listening for every student, parent, educator and law enforcement officer. If enough of us, through this medium, become aware of the potential chromosomal damage and long-lasting psychotic aftereffects of the mind-bending drugs, then perhaps Tommy Forrester, and countless others, will not have died in vain.

Jack Van Impe - From Night Clubs to Christ

Jack Van Impe - From Night Clubs to Christ

This blog started off with a message by Mr. Van Impe where he discussed what hell really is. This message is Van Impe's conversion story of how he once was an inhabitant of night clubs (because his father was a night club entertainer) to becoming a crusader for all that is good and holy including ranting against rock 'n' roll and naked women in movies. This record reveals how Van Impe became the man he is today.

Charles Kebbe - The Harper's Bazaar Success Formula for a Beautiful Speaking Voice

Charles Kebbe - The Harper's Bazaar Success Formula for a Beautiful Speaking Voice

Written and Narrated by Charles Kebbe/Assisted by Joyce Gordon

Not only do women have to look good and be fashionably stylish, it would be nice if they have a beautiful voice to go with their fabulous good looks and fashionable style. Thank goodness this LP record came out. Released before feminism became prominent in the mainstream, perhaps the record helped the voices of Stepford wives and trophy girlfriends to sound just as appealing as their looks. The American woman is the most attractive female on Earth. The liner notes by Charles Kebbe say so, it must be true. However, Charles never says how American women are more attractive than women from all other countries or what prompted him to make this statement. It would be quite interesting to learn the reasoning behind his claim.
Charles worked for some advertising agency and he must have had a bevy of beautiful women to stare at. Unfortunately, for him, they did not sound as pleasant as they looked. So Charles wanted to do something about it. He opened a voice training workshop to coach women (and men) from all walks of life who wanted to improve their speaking voices.
Sometime, afterwards, Kebbe collaborated with Harper's Bazaar magazine to put out this record definitely aimed at the masses of American women in hopes of the female populace suddenly sounding just as beautiful as they look. To make this happen, Kebbe describes his methods:

For a long time I had been working to develop a concise, conventional vocal course, one so simple that anyone, even working alone, could use it. I know that this course would have to solve two basic vocal difficulties characteristic of most women: the tendency to speak from a constricted throat, thus producing a harsh or nasal voice, and the tendency to speak in the front of the mouth, making the voice sound thin and hard. With these problems corrected by a system I call "The Fountain," the voice becomes rounder, fuller, softer and much more relaxed. And relaxed vocal production means relaxed throat muscles and tendons. By following this method, you will not only speak better, but will also feel and act more at ease.
When, after many experiments, The Fountain technique was at last perfected, the results were truly stunning. I first began using the method with young and oh-so-pretty models but with oh-such-squeaky-and-screechy voices. What they needed, I felt, was to be taught a fast, simple method to give them more pleasant speaking voices. The amazing fact about this method was that very real results were obtained with only a few minutes' instruction. No complicated exercises; no long period of hard, boring drudgery. In fact, the system worked so rapidly that it was almost incredible.
Then I began using The Fountain method with women who were not interested in a career of any kind. And it worked just as well for them as it had for the professional models. The remarkable results were exactly the same.
This does not for one moment mean that you can work for five minutes and completely change your speaking voice. But it does mean you can learn to use this technique in an amazingly short time and then practice as much or as little as you choose.

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.
