In 1990, armed with a couple of VCRs and a couple of cassette decks, Charles Rice Goff III began experimenting with combining ordinary television images with Taped Rugs recordings. The result was a crude and very Dadaist two-hour long video entitled: "Life And Death Drama" that was never distributed and shown to only a handful of unsuspecting victims.
The nine-minute excerpt archived here, culled out of the gargantuan video by Goff in 2006, combines images from an M&Ms ad, a Green Hornet episode, a Real Cheese ad, and a gun show TV promo, with two audio pieces created by Herd Of The Ether Space (HOTES). "Synesthesia" (from the HOTES cassette album: "Chaos Marches On") features sounds mixed around a Time/Life record about LSD. "The Bible And The Bullet" (from the HOTES cassette album: "Dada's Little Psycho") features an improvised tale about the American Wild West.
