Direct mp3 download or play: This Is Stupid – Bee – bee beep – buh beep beep beep
This was my first attempt at making a tape loop. In 1974, I attended a class at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, California, called “Colloquy in Electronic Music,” and this is the result. It’s so dumb that it must be an insult to the entire institution of scholarly electronic music. You are not obliged to listen to the entire piece!

If I had 1/100th the talent of the Weatherman in 1974, I’d be much less stupid today, in 2013. But, the fact remains, I’m dumb.
And I can’t quit listening to this stupid thing!! It’s like the “Badger, Badger, Mushroom” song…you keep expecting it to eventually change….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….but it never does….
Now I know how they feel in Gitmo.
i kinda of wish it panned more. or at all. but, otherwise, it was great. i loved when the higher tone would stumble the word “stupid” and the “bee beebeep beebeep beep beep, beep.”
definitely a classic.
I will try to locate the open reel version and put it up. It may have more separation and better fidelity. What joy to be compared with Gitmo!
Yeah, sure, how cruel! To have the rest of Negativland, excluding Hal Starkey, cruelly perpetrating this impersonation of the late, great Weatherman here. I completely disagree with it and just call me whatsisname who released all those intelligence files, I’m going to let you know exactly how bad things are here and that we should be mourning his loss and trying to put him up on a pedestal in the history of electric sound, not bullshitting the public like this. A tribute to him and his performing life is being planned now and are you guys even coming? Or is this going to be like the funeral?
This is the real Izzy Isn’t. The above someone has been impersonating me with posts on this site and now has caused the whole “Weatherman Is Dead” hoax here. It’s not true. The Weatherman is ALIVE! Get it?
Only you can prevent self-impersonation.
The importance of all other persons is staggering.
