A look at the album and track titles could be indicative enough, to give you an idea about the nature of the sounds and experimentations, that you will hear in this show. Don Campau knows a lot more. Says he,
“I have known Charles for a very long time and have been amazed by his relentless and tireless pursuit of never ending, unusual creations. From his whimsical pop and covers side to his collaborations with many others in many ways, from his live performance work to his assiduously assembled audio and video pieces. Perhaps only Zan Hoffman , Hal McGee, Big City Orchestra and Ken Clinger are the only home tapers who can rival his output and high standards.”
About the different aliasses Charles uses, Don says
“Goff has excelled at cover versions of favorite songs.From pop to progressive rock to his personal favorite Todd Rundgren, Charles manipulates and tears apart the songs to uncover his own personality within.”
 and
 “One of Goff’s many collaborative projects, Disism with Killr “Mark†Kaswan. The chaotic nature of this tape is in keeping with the horrors of the Oakland fire in 1991. Hallucinogenic improvisations on cassette from 1993”
 or
 “More confusion and social unrest is probed by Charles and his mates in Herd Of The Ether Space. In this episode, they rip apart the LA riots of 1992 with the appropriate amount of radio broadcasts, police sirens, twittering and rambling guitars and instruments for a truly messed up experience.”
As always in Don’s No Pigeonholes Show you hear a lot of americana between the lines. Americana, coming of age, small and big town life can be distinguished as some of the themes. In this show you hear Don give a lot of inside information; he also tries to explain the significance of the cassette movement. Don Campau has started to send huge amounts of his cassette collection to Friedrichshafen in Bavaria, where at one point in the 21st century a museum will be opened.
