Circa 2012-2014
This was my channel intro from right before I became Viewbob_True. Back then, I was just Sam Spiwak. For years now, all I had was a bad thru-the-air recording of a sampler and some sound effects recorded on a fucking Pantech dumb phone from 2012, but I finally was able to track down those old samples again, and re-construct my old intro!
The sound effects aren't the same EXACT ones, but those were all ripped from obscure early 2010s sfx uploads, so I'm admitting defeat and just finding sounds that are close ENOUGH lol. Also I'm like 99% I just made the fire whoosh sound effect with my mouth.
I remember one other Sam Spiwak channel intro (this being the second of two intros), it was a dubstep-ish beat, and while I also have the samples used for it, I don't have the video or even remember what the intro looked like. Oh Well...

![R. Stevie Moore - Pow Wow (1978, new tape rip)
Pow Wows kinda cute, hes always trying to impress you. Pow Wow is probably my second favorite RSM tape, right up there next to Play! I love the drum machine sound, the exquisite guitar work, and the awesome country-meets-hard-rock-meets-new-wave songwriting. The Zappa cover here is what first got me into the Mothers! Lots of ink has already been spilled on this tapes brilliance, so instead Ill talk about the fascinating differences here to the digital copy. Tracks 22-25 here are in a totally different sequence. On the bandcamp version, its Ill See You in Bed-John Lennon-SMGoodies. Here, after Why Cant I Write a Hit is instead a totally new ten-minute field recording collage that for the life of me I couldnt line up with any part of SMGoodies we know. Presumably SMGoodies was an excerpt of a longer tape, and Stevie was known in this time to include experimental recordings as bonus tracks to fill c90 dead space, so maybe Ive uncovered lost SMGoodies recordings? After this, comes the Ill See You in Bed recording, then the John Lennon death announcement as normal, after which comes yet another field recording collage that, again I could not line up with the digital SMGoodies!
That said, I am not super familiar with SMGoodies, so please educate me if Im wrong lol. Also uh, I initially exported this rip to Wav and had to re-export to Flac thru audacity (because I love metadata so much), I dont believe I lost any fidelity in this process, but sorry in advance.
