Had a dream this morning that you had moved to Berkeley, Tony, where you streamed your show from a retail stereo equipment space, pretty much around the clock. A fellow listener visited the space wielding a newspaper with a headline about the best pizza in the East Bay. Listener asked where one could find good vegetarian pizza in the area, suitable for freezing. Unable to answer, I awoke, at which time I promptly thought of Cheeseboard.

mine usually involve either cats, tools or rene russo.

Well, the stereo equipment store part is run-of-the-mill wish fulfillment.

Ahoy, Glenn!

I like the pizza part of Dean's dream. I hope I get it for free, at least, if I have to broadcast 24 hours a day.

and i'm pretty sure my g.f. prefers me dreaming about rene than buying something else by festool.

I've never had more than barely adequate stereo equipment. All my disposable income goes to stuff to play on stereo equipment, not the equipment itself, sadly.

Dean:

Cheeseboard is quintessential Berkeley. It's a co-op cheese shop, the antithesis of the Monty Python routine: they have everything. The adjacent pizza shop makes one variety of pizza per day, always vegetarian, take it or leave it. Customers queue up a quarter block out the store. A spin-off pizza joint, Sliver, takes a similar approach.

not to worry, tony. generally by the time most people can afford really good audio equipment, their hearing has deteriorated to the point where it doesn't matter.

Tony Coulter:

By the way, forgot to mention that both sides of this X-Ray Pop cassette cut off abruptly, mid-song.
Avatar ♥ 12:21pm
Tony Coulter:

Not bloody likely, I know, but ... can anyone I.D. the LP underneath today's cassettes?

Doug Schulkind:

Mmmm, cheese! Mmmmm, Tape Hiss!

Dean:

I was once very proud of my stereo system, felt it sounded better than no-holds-barred systems I'd heard. Haven't been able to upgrade any components for some time. But yeah, I spend too much on the records.

Talking of buying things to play on the stereo system, I recently scored a nice big batch of cassettes. You here will be the beneficiaries -- or victims, as the case may be.
Avatar ♥ 12:35pm
Tony Coulter:

Well, since no one is venturing a guess as to what today's mystery LP is, I'll spill the beans: It's Steaming Coils: "Breaded" www.discogs.com...
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 12:39pm
doctorjazz:

Of course I knew that, just giving the others a chance... :)
Avatar 12:40pm
glenn:

oh right, steaming coils. i have all their stuff.
Avatar ♥ 12:40pm
Tony Coulter:

A note for all you sticklers: X-Ray Pop sometimes spells their name without a hyphen, as on the cover of this tape. I'm a hyphen man, though, so I'm using it.

Dean:

Hyphen-man!

Audio nerd myself, tend to headphones more than anything else these days (and, too much music coming in, as seems to be the case here).

Squeaky toy solo here.....

Mark Williams:

just tuning in, Tony. I had a little phase with this band years ago.
  12:56pm
Mark Williams:

Looking back at them, it's curious to think of just where the line between pop and underground was drawn for them. In the US, it was RRRecords of all people that "broke" them.
Avatar ♥ 12:57pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey, Mark!

RRR does seem like an odd fit for them!

JtotheK:

also part of the 'barely adequate' audio equipment club. I've had 2 numark direct drive turntables for close to 15 years. I can tell the motor on each need replacement...but hoping they hold out for a little while longer. Also hoping that area shop in town could perform the repair. Otherwise if the parts aren't available and both need replacement... ugh.

Not a big fan of hyphenated spousal names, though. I mean, with successive generations things can get really messy.

Greetings, βrian!

@ Mark: Given that RRR are mostly known for harsh noise and such, I guess it's to their credit that they wanted to release something as unmacho and "cute" as X-Ray Pop.

i recall talking to the RRR guy about them, because I wanted his help in finding another LP of theirs (pre-internet struggles). I can't recall exactly the conversation, but my recollection was that he seemed to know almost nothing about them.

By the way, the crookedness on the right edge of the cover of this Cage of Reason tape is not a trick of the camera. The cover is handmade and handcut -- handcut by someone who doesn't believe in straight lines.

Coincidentally, I listened to a piece by Honegger yesterday, but not Pacific 231.

So, next week I'll be debuting a new feature on this show: the weird-records-from-my-basement hour. I've got many boxes of strange LPs down there and I need to plow through them -- have barely heard a lot of them myself. I'm sure some of them are actually unknown gems -- others are probably just ... different.
