Hello Tony and listeners. I just googled "smegma": I shouldn't have!

Hiya, Yvang! Yep, watch out for the Smegma -- it's sticky....

Beautiful, the reference to Poo-Bah's, which was once an oasis of a record store in Pasadena. It moved a few years ago, at which time the inventory changed radically for the worse. I used to spend long afternoons at Poo-Bah's.
Avatar 12:18pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey, Dean! Wish I could have made it to Poo-Bah's in the (its) good old days. Several LAFMS people used to work there.
  12:21pm
Dean:

It was a wonder to behold, an old house with layers of memorabilia affixed to the interior walls and a lot of turnover of recorded goodies. One summer when I was single and childless I must have spent a lot of time there. I walked in one afternoon and the guy at the register said, "Here's the guy who pays my salary!" I used to go kinda crazy there.

Tony Coulter:

I sometimes wonder how much I'm contributing to the Portland economy, what with all the records, CDs, and tapes I buy. My money goes to a bunch of different places, though, so it's probably not particularly noticeable in any one place.
Avatar 12:32pm
Tony Coulter:

And I should say that the Portland economy is entirely based on coffee shops, restaurants, bars, tattoo parlors, and record stores.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 12:32pm
Gary:

This 2017 cassette, you probably explained this and I didn't catch it, but is it a compilation of older material?
  12:33pm
Dean:

I got fed up with Tower Records in the early 2000s. Then they went bankrupt. Coincidence?
Avatar 12:33pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Gary: Yep it was mostly recorded in 1974–75 ... plus a bit from '82.
Avatar 12:36pm
Tony Coulter:

OOPS. Forgot that hair salons and marijuana dispensaries are also pillars of the Portland economy. Mustn't leave them out!

doctorjazz:

I saw a recent article on Tower Records, was it the Times? Was a fun read. I spent too many hours/dollars at the lower Manhattan store, which, along with J and R at one point, had a lot of stuff available.
(Hi all...)
Avatar 12:38pm
Tony Coulter:

Hey, doctorjazz! I too spent many hours at the Tower discount annex on 4th street.

I'm still using a turntable I bought at J & R at least 20 years ago....

Dean:

One weekend I managed to travel to more than a handful of the Tower Records in the LA area in search of Sviatoslav Richter's 1958 Sofia, Bulgaria, performance of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition." This would have been c.1990 or so, when much of the classical catalog had not yet been digitized. Never found it. (It has since been issued on disk.) Dropped by my buddy's record store in Whittier, where a stack of recently acquired used classical LPs sat on the counter. "Fifty cents each," he announced. The bottom record was the Richter!

Bought my current turntable in '83 at Havens & Hardesty in Huntington Beach, another oasis.

Greetings from Russia, Tony! we released Smegma cassette + lathe cut here couple of weeks ago. Need to send you a copy with some new Post-Materialists releases. Best Wishes!

Jeff Golick:

Hello, Tony, and all assembled Coulterians.

I bought my current receiver with some bar mitzvah money, at a Boston-area Lechmere. This would be around 1982, I think.

Tony, if you only the stuff you played was widely available, think what you'd do for the global economy.
Avatar 1:11pm
Tony Coulter:

Heya, Jeff!

Tony Coulter:

I found the receiver I used for years in the garbage, sometime in the late '80s or '90s. Still have it in the basement..
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:27pm
Jeff Golick:

What make was it, Tony?
Avatar 1:28pm
Tony Coulter:

Cut-ups is the wrong term for this Jackie Stewart thing, of course -- just kind of slipped out of me. More like audio collage / mixing / turntablism.
Avatar 1:30pm
Tony Coulter:

@ Jeff: It's a KLH Model 51. I know because I bought another one online, which I'm using now!

This is wonderful, Tony! I didn't know about this cassette release until today.

I am this close to kluging a cassette deck into my car.
Avatar 1:59pm
Tony Coulter:

Our car is old enough that it came with a cassette deck. Not that I play rare tapes in there -- I stick to things I pick up in thrift stores for 50 cents. You know, Heart, Moody Blues....

Glad I tuned in Tony. Enjoyed Karen Constance. I remember an LP she did with Dan Melchior. It was on a want list but never picked it up.
Avatar 2:08pm
Tony Coulter:

Hiya, Nardo! I don't have anything else of hers -- should seek it out.
  2:08pm
Dean:

I have an NAD cassette player still in the box, virtually unused for something like 15 years, due to cable issues that discourage my adding it to the system. Always wanted a Nakamichi Dragon, though.
Avatar 2:18pm
Tony Coulter:

I may have to look for a new cassette deck soon -- which is a pain these days, as there seems to be no more middle ground. Either they're cheap pieces of crap, or they're very expensive.
Avatar 2:19pm
Tony Coulter:

Actually wrote "cheap pieces of carp" before catching the typo. Sounds fishy, I know....
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 2:19pm
doctorjazz:

I had some Nakamichi decks, but not the Dragon; never seemed fidelity was up to the expense with cassettes. Had a friend who taped live shows (still does, digital gear, doesn't sneak in the gear anymore), listened to his live stuff on it, and taped LPs for the car.

Nardo:

Karen Constance is also one half of Blood Stereo with Dylan Nyoukis. This was live on Fabio's show back in 2011 freemusicarchive.org...

Thanks, Nardo!
Avatar 2:21pm
Tony Coulter:

Almost bought the James Last LP with "Giant Man" on it the other day -- which, of course, made me think of Fabio.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:28pm
Rich in Washington:

I also fairly recently got that Giant Man lp. As much as I love it, I would feel weird playing that track on the air because of Fabio. I did when Last died though
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:30pm
Rich in Washington:

every once and a while I find big piles of German easy listening music in thrift stores. I really love Klaus Wunderlich's Hammond organ stuff. It's pretty crazy.
Avatar 2:32pm
Tony Coulter:

What always scares me away from those Wunderlich records is that they usually feature medleys, which I'm not a big fan of.

I love this track. As far as I know, it's the only tape piece of this nature that Trythall ever did. The music he's more known for is minimalist piano compositions, not unlike Harold Budd.

Tony, this show!!! Wow, man!!!

but I love this era of stuff, like James Tenney, etc. The cutting up and manipulating rock idols.
