Francis E. Dec, Esq. MP3s:
Rant 1
Rant 2
Rant 3
Rant 4
Rant 5
Rant 6

Francis E. Dec, Esquire, of 29 Maple Ave, Hempstead, New York, is one of the most mysterious characters in all kookdom. He plastered cars with paranoid posters and mass-mailed thousands of his rants to unwitting victims, mostly in media outlets. One of these packets fell into the hands of L.A. newscaster/talk show host "Doc on the ROQ" of KROQ-FM. In 1985, when Doc was employed at WZUU in Milwaukee, the station received a bundle of Dec flyers, which had been mass mailed to the media. He sez: "One chilly Sunday in '86, at Y-108 in Denver, I recorded the 41-minute tape now in circulation, using odd music tracks (Goldfinger, 'Pieces of Ice' by Diana Ross, Tomita, Capitol Library Series) mixed in quite at random, though it turned out nicely. I also used echo-processing for the faint 'mental' effects on the longest track, which I call 'LONG Island Lunacy.'" These are those sessions. It's amazing stuff. You can read some of the transcripts of the pieces here.

This was one of the first things me and my friend Evan found on Ubu when we discovered it about four years ago. We absolutely loved the phrases that this guy came up with, and would often "quote" him to spice up some of our conversations. We were assigned a project in our sociology/psychology class (over a year ago now), and we decided to see what everybody's reaction would be if we went into the school cafeteria wearing wild outfits and blasted one of these Francis E. Dec rants over a boombox. The experiment went off without a hitch until one of the faculty got too weirded out and kicked us out. We got it all on tape. Memories.

This rocks, Venetian Snares sampled him on the Infolepsy EP if i'm not mistaken.

Ahh!
St. Francis E!
I'd been looking for these for years, and was beside myself with joy when UBU offered them thus.
I first heard the evangel of Dec on Psychic TV's Ultrahouse compilation.
Wish someone would provide hi-rez scans of the actual flyers.
Did Dec finally kick the bucket?
A link on Diane Kossy's Kook museum used to feature a testimonial from a couple of guys that tracked him down to a VA Hospital, where he was living (dying?) in.

[grrrrr]

did Crumb's Weirdo run one of Dec's flyers on the back cover in the 80's?

wow- it was awesome to find these. i vaguely recall these from psychic tv, but i think i was more into baseball cards that year for some reason.

i really have to hand it to a local college radio station, www.xklu.com here in los angeles. they displayed some sack by playing one of the rants. i googled a line i liked and BOOM!! here i am.

it was great to hear Doc On The Rock's voice. i was a big fan of his.

I've been a big fan of Frank Dec for years, even got someone on IRC to mail me a tape 10 years ago. But nowadays it just feels creepy. Post-9/11, you can log onto any forum on internet and see people ranting almost as paranoid and insanely as Dec. Any day of the week there will be a new anti-semitic rant sprinkled with intelligence agency paranoia and technophobia, posted to the internet. I used to think Dec was some rare anomaly, now his rants seem like run of the mill fast-food kookery.

And now there's an Official Dec Fanclub for all to see, as well. Feel free to stop on by!

Like "A Chair" this was also one of my earliest Ubuweb discoveries. Brilliant poetry, and they're recited perfectly (at first I thought it was the same person who had done the readings). Following the link http://home.pacifier.com/~dkossy/decvisit.html
shows he was a very unfortunate man who suffered greatly from his delusions. I can't help but feel sorry for him.

wow! Frank Dec is indeed a most strangest character and at th same time attractive too.

[LBF]

Please note the "Rant 6" label is misleading: it's NOT a Dec rant (that's why it's not among the five rants at UbuWeb). It's the soundtrack to the "1995 visit" when Forrest Jackson and two friends tracked down Dec to his hospital deathbed and tried to interview him. Cf. his account at http://home.pacifier.com/~dkossy/decvisit.html
