Ahhhh, yes! The infamous goddamn death dedication. "F***ing ponderous man." The dog dying. The misery, the disappointment, the sadness. Damn those up tempo records. It had everything--I laughed, I cried.

And what *was* on those pictures?
 
From the cutting room floor! (was Re: Casey Kasem swears up a storm!)

Apparently, this was stuff that was taken from the cutting (editing) room floor. Generally, in 1970 and continuing throughout the show's run, Casey would "voice track" ahead of time (something that AT40 would take credit in mastering the art of) the entire "American Top 40" voicers with the intros and outros in one studio session. The editors would then insert the intros and outros later. Back then, editing was a matter of cutting and slicing the actual voice track master tape. (CoolEdit and digital workstations were over 20 years into the future). It was a matter of using a razor and a grease-pencil. (High tech, eh?) Stuff that was deemed NOT useable, would simply be cut with a razor and left on the cutting room floor. Some bozo from Casey's staff picked up the "discarded tape" and kept the outtakes for their own use. The result...... Casey really went into tirades if something was not right and these outtakes were left for posterity. In spite of the general impression that Casey was hard to work with (case in point: this tape), most people I know who have worked with Casey feel otherwise. He is a perfectionist, that is true, but most of his contemporaries find him to be a very down-to-earth guy. But he is human and we all can do some "silly" things from time to time. This is one of them. This Casey Kasem moment has been "out there" for years. I have had a tape copy of this blooper in my archives since '89.

The Pictures

> And what *was* on those pictures?

According to the American Top 40 book that came out a few years back, "the pictures" were photograhs of new artists that Casey was playing. "Don" would send him pictures of these singers/bands regularly. This event was in the mid '80s when a lot of new groups that were entering the Top 40 were unfamiliar to Casey.

Hey thanks for clearing that up. I had assumed that the pictures were some publicity shots of Casey that would be sent out to fans and the like.
But now I know the Real story. Cool!

Perspective from a Casey fan

As a die-hard Casey Kasem fan - I do appreciate those outtakes. While it is the exact opposite of everything Casey stands for...they are funny, and even Casey admits that. There are also other links on the net of outtakes of him doing local liners for various affiliates. Those are good too.
 
And of course these outtakes were part of Negativland's "U2" CD single which got sued out of existence by U2/Island Records and Kasem (or at least threats took it off the market). Eventually U2 relented (part of the claim was that the single
looked a little TOO much like a U2 record) but Kasem, as far as I know, refuses
to allow it to be sold.

I'm guessing Don was producer Don Bustany.

I'm surprised these clips are new to people. Howard Stern has been playing them as a show bumper (bleeped) for 20 years, and I'm sure others have, too. Guess its like those internet 'urban legend' emails that just keep coming around to a new generation of people every few years who didn't see them the first time!

That's what I was thinking....this tape has been around forever.
I thought everyone had heard about Casey and his foul mouth
blooper....guess I'm getting old.

I didn't know anything about Casey's moment of shame until five years ago. My jaw dropped when I heard it. I couldn't believe that the voice of Shaggy and the man who did the funky chicken on Saved By the Bellwould do this. <P ID="signature">______________

I dunno folks, I've heard a few cutting room floor tapes in my days (I have a large collection of many local folks whom I have no intention of ever letting anyone see) and the average jock back then seemed to have more cut out material in one month than the few bits from Casey, I'll bet it took a long time to collect as much as they got of him. Personally, every studio I've ever been in is set up so that someone in another studio is always capable of monitoring (or even airing) whatever is going on on the board I'm working on, so I keep my mouth radio friendly at all times in a studio.

It is my not-so-humble-opinion that the original poster put that up as an excuse to get people to his website, since he appears to offer some kind of service to the radio industry.

Which, of course, now means the moderators will be giving his posts more scrutiny in the future to make sure his advertising doesn't become blatant.

(Disclaimer: I happen to also be in business, but I do not make any posts here or anywhere advertising that fact or the nature of my business, thus avoiding any potential conflicts of interest.)

So, KM, you're saying that Skynet74 may have had an ulterior motive behind his original post?

Hmmm.......Interesting.

Well, if that was/is the case, then......

Shame on you, Skynet74!
 
Re: Perspective from a Casey fan

I always assumed when Howard did it, it was just stuff he produced. I never realized that was the real thing. I thought it was quite funny, and so true. In the defense of the poster who started this thread, when I clicked on the link, it took me right to Window's Media Player meaning I didn't even get to the site.

I am only surmising that because the website the clip is on matches the domain in his signature file, advertising his voiceover work.

I report, you decide. (Apologies to FNC.)
