Oh come on! This is the funniest thing I've read in years!
Oh no! If you read that first line backwards, underwater it sounds
like 'Sorry my hamster is Lithunian' which is (as you obviously
know) Czech slang for 'Please provide me with 400 kg of Heroin
in return for my slightly used Skoda'.
This IS a wind-up isn't it?

| I sang some Harry Seacombe the other day backwards, and it said:
Take loads of drugs, Share needles, Kill friends and generally be a bad
guy.
Well the effect it had on me was terrible, after hearing it I immediatly
murdered everyone I knew whilst shooting up in the toilets.

How did you persuade them to join you in the toilets?
Ah, I know, they all thought you were holding satanic rites in there
after listening to 'I'm in the mood for dancing' by the Nolans played
backwards at 78rpm.

>>> Louis Cipher.
Anyone see "Angel Heart", with Mickey Rourke and Lisa Bonet?
Rourke plays this private eye with a dark past, who gets hired by a
guy called Louis Cipher (Robert de Niro, or somebody?) to find a
"missing person".
Devil worship abounds in this seedy, evocative and occasionally
erotic film.
Anyway ... (don't read on if you want to see the film ...)
<spoiler>
... turns out Louis Cipher is really a personification of Satan,
and his name is a play on the name Lucifer (Satan's name).
What does all of this tell us? Beats me. Personally, I'd take it
with more than a grain of salt.

607.5 | Back to the '60s | ASABET::MCLAUGHLIN | | Fri Feb 16 1990 19:01 | 16 |
| Another self-serving saviour out to protect the masses from themselves,
all the while garnering as much personal publicity as possible.
Chris Morris must be preparing to release a book on the subject
(as though more rain forest need be destroyed so that the back-masking
issue may be once again be flogged in print). Does anyone think that Chris
truly believes these paranoia induced delusions, or is he simply repeating
accusations nearly as old as audio recording technology itself in an
effort to boost his radio show ratings even higher? The music industry
is probably more shocked that a top DJ is spewing forth such stale allegations
well into the 1990's than anything else regarding his recent spate of publicity.
I guess some DJ's eventually do run out of original topics. Even if Chris is
just joking, and I suspect that he is, this has all "been done" many times
before.

| In the base note it says that he now plays the records backwards
so people can make up their minds.
If he finds them so objectionable - why does he play them.
If I was the bossman of GLR I would be looking for another DJ because
this one obviously needs help.

| Well,
I'm glad to see you've all taken this so seriously !
I'm surprized you consider this 'new' news. The Beatles started doing
backwards macking ages ago. Some people take it very seriously (esp in
the States) and tried to stop the sales of Albums. Some groups have
been needlessly hounded (why do you think ELOs last album was called
Secret Messages).
Some groups (normally in the heavy metal arena) put backwards messages
on their albums for the 'shock' effect, hoping that somebody will
try to ban it, so they can get free publicity. (like Venom).
However, I'm surprised that no-body's mentioned the most famous example.
Try playing Queens "Another one bites the dust" backwards. The chorus
(repitions of the title line) *REALLY DOES* sound like "It's fun
to smoke marojahna" (See I can't even spell it !)
I still can't decide if this is an incredible coninsidence or the
guy's having a joke.

607.10 | Just so much ________ (you fill in the blank) | RCA::PURMAL | Do you sing like Olive Oyl on purpose? | Mon Feb 19 1990 15:29 | 20 |
| I was looking for the note in MUSIC before responding here, but
since the DIR command isn't working on the file I can't find the note
without a great deal of work. Anyway, there is a good series of notes
in there about backwards masking and the like.
My view is that there isn't any scientific proof of the affects of
backwards masking that I know of. The folks who said it existed in
MUSIC failed to submit any studies that directly addressed backwards
masking. They did submit various results which could lead one to
consider the possibility of backwards masking being understood by
people.
I find it all absurd considering that a lot of people have trouble
understanding muddled intentional lyrics. There's a whole topic on
lyrics that people can't understand in MUSIC.
If I ever run across the topic in MUSIC, I'll post the note number
here.

because of its alleged references to drugs!!
These people are paranoid.
When I was a kid, I tried playing my Mum's Sargeant Pepper LP
backwards, because I read that there was a hidden message at the
end. Well if there is, I didn't find it (I did find a belt round
the ear from my Mum for messing up her record collection, though!!)

| Re .13
Yet more trivia. The `hidden message' on the Pepper album was s'posed
to be smt like "Paul is dead". And all those daytrippers thought that
he was too. Maybe it should have been "Brian (Epstein) is dead".
Not bad for a band who went on to name not one, but TWO, popes.

| I think it's near the end of Strawberry Fields Forever, where it
fades out and then in again, that you can hear a voice saying "I
bury Paul". Also, I believe that Revolution No. 9, when played
backwards, contains the cryptic, but obviously satanic message "F***
your f***ing superman"

607.19 | more performance art noize | JUMBLY::OCONNOR | tongueinchic | Wed Feb 28 1990 12:13 | 15 |
| Bob,
to continue the saga of Beatle Band, Lee Cotton and I recently
bought John and Yoko's "Two Virgins", complete in brown paper bag
(because the two of them are naked as babies on the front cover).
It was released in May '68 (`The revolution will be recorded!') and
features the two of them in primal-scream therapy mode. Lots of
glassy screeches, rattling bass piano, mob noises and anything else
that seemed a good idea at the time. Talk about `found objects'!
Oh and I think it's excellent. And Lee owns �3 worth of the record.
Does anybody know if it's worth anything ??

Thanks Tim, we've got to keep them readers informed of recent shopping spoils,
haven't we?
Yes, it's true, I did purchase half of said album. I quite like it, it's a good
record to annoy people with. It's also the perfect antidote to anybody who
waffles on to you about how brilliant Lennon was.
As for the subject of hidden messages, people who find this kind of thing
fascinating should go out and buy a Renaldo and the Loaf album. Most of their
stuff is played wrongways round.
As for The Stone Roses `Full Fathom Five', it is `Elephant Stone' recorded
backwards, yet still this is NO IMPROVEMENT on the tune itself.

607.21 | | WELMTS::GREENB | What are you doing, Dave...Dave....? | Wed Feb 28 1990 15:59 | 14 |
| That Stone Roses backwards song is even more confusing because it
has some forwards overdubs on it, and is a bit longer than the previous
track. First time I heard the record, I thought it was just a coda
to the original (forwards) number for a while - it do go on a bit,
don't it.
Re Renaldo and the Loaf; how are they related to the Residents -
I have a Residents vid with a Loaf track on it, and was wondering
if this was typical of their stuff?

p.s. if you really want to annoy and confuse the neighbours, you

Bob, I've got the Residents' "Video Voodoo" with a few renaldo and the
L. tracks. It sounds just as warped as The R's. They seem to cut
melodies down to basics and build them back up again - in their own
detuned way.
Have you got `(Exhausted from) The Act of Being Polite' ?
Our advertisers could learn a few things from the videos. All they seem
to do recently is put `classic' songs to some image of a male or female
bimbo at a fax machine...and hey presto! the finger (which one ?) is on
the ahhh...pulse of a generation. Sickening really.

| Tim, that's the vid I have, too, and is unfortunately all I have
by either the Residents or Renaldo and the Loaf.
I tell you, this stuff shows up Devo for the bunch of self-consciously
'real wierd guys' they really were/are.

| To play reel [sic!] tape backwards, just twist the tape through
180�. It'll sound a little muffled, but you'll hear it backwards.
Try this with cassette tape at your own risk...

| Apparently Judas Priest are about to be taken into the courts
in America regarding one of their early albums which is supposed
to contain hidden messages regarding committing suicide?!?!?!
Two american boys made a suicide pact after hearing the LP one
shot himself successfully (!?) but the other missed and lived
for two years !!! but then died due to drugs etc. Anyway his
parents are claiming COMPENSATION on the basis that the album
made their boys do what they did!!!
Pathetic or what!!??

| The song in question is called "Better by you, better than me", off an album
called "Stained Class", which they claim contains the words "Do it, Do it" and
"deliver us", whatever that's supposed to mean.
Don't all rush home to run your record players backwards, now.
Best quote of the article I read about this, in last Sunday's Independent, was
from the editor of Kerrang, who stated that "A lot of heavy-metal fans in
the States are frankly pretty dim". Of course he went on to add that
the readership of Kerrang consisted of "employed, well-educated males with
good family backgrounds". Au naturelement.
