Postwar atmospherica. High bop modernism and Afro-Latin sounds, twilight exotica and soundtrack moods, soul stompers and weepers, hypnotic R&B and blues, mystical '60s pop, lonely country, lonelier rock 'n' roll, instrumental weirdness, electronic creaking. Bringing worlds beyond into the worlds at hand.

![]() going to have to dig out this tjader LP this weekend. some other show spun a track from it this week. (duane, maybe?) |

Dean:
Funny you mention large zucchini. I have a couple here--not monumentally huge, but slightly overweight--and I'm uncertain about how to use them. Usually, I just simmer them slowly in olive oil and add blue cheese, but these would make large coins. I might just scrape one of them into meatballs, add it to ground turkey and herbs along with bread crumbs, broil them for several minutes, and simmer them in tomato sauce. | |

![]() that reminds me of a Ken Nordine piece describing a guy who made okarinas out of dead animals, like fish |

Never made zucchini pasta before, but I've had it. Not a bad idea... | |
![]() |
![]() a friend once asked me if she could grow zucchini in my garden i said yes and it bore many fruit that got huge. she only took a few and i'm not a big fan so i developed a trade situation with a food truck couple that made delicious zucchini bread with it. |

Little Danny:
Doc! I just paged you with some Tjader, and then some Hibbert |
![]() |
![]() wise people,your parents? i don't need to try it. i'd bet it's one of those things that people have turned into a "delicacy" because of rarity or in this case also the exclusivity of a club of those willing to risk their lives for the sake of bragging about trying fugu; but it's not anything special, taste-wise. |
![]() |
![]() (like caviar, which everyone knows is just salty and fishy, but it's expensive so therefore delicious!) |
![]() |
![]() Caviar has always sounded just gross to me. |

![]() Hello. |

![]() John Sébastian harmonica 45! Very cool! Saw him play with the Jim Kweskin Jug Band not too long ago, fun show |
Thu. 10/4/18 10:30pm
Dean:
There's that, @coel, for sure, but the same situation obtains wrt hot sauces. Yet I've had extremely hot sauces that are really luscious. The intensity contributes to both the psychological and the gustatory effects, but then no human assessment of experience is free of psychological bias. | |
Thu. 10/4/18 10:32pm
Dean:
E.g., Bigfat's 808: http://www.bigfatshotsauce.com/8o8-naga-jolokia-hot-sauce-out-of-stock/ | |
![]() |
![]() it's really not great, melinda, and i love fish. |
![]() |
![]() The difference between good caviar and commodity "caviar" is...great. |
![]() |
![]() Dean i used to think if it's extremely hot hot sauce it would be less flavorful but i've heard that some accomplish both. i haven't tried any yet that do - but i believe it. |
![]() |
Thu. 10/4/18 10:36pm
northguineahills:
@Dean: I don't bhut jolokia hot sauce. I have about 30 bhut jolokia peppers, and I can barely get through 1 per week. (awesome in small amounts). |
Thu. 10/4/18 10:37pm
Dean:
We're seeing bullshit about sloppily prepared burgers here in the Bay Area, as if the nonchalance itself rendered the burger better. Some distinctions (hmm, reminds me to read Bourdieu) are genuine, others all about marketing and hipness. | |
![]() |
![]() Uncle M, i'll buy that. (well i probably can't afford it, but...) so, like with feta then |
Thu. 10/4/18 10:38pm
Dean:
Bigfat's is good, very good. The 808 is smoky (in addition to hot), and therefore less amenable to a wide variety of dishes, but the 708 is only less hot--and it's a mutha--but citrusy, and wonderful on a lot of things. | |
![]() |
![]() Believe I'm on the stream (free jazz sax) |
![]() |
![]() I have moderate tolerance for hot sauces, and have read conflicting info on whether or not one can increase tolerance. When it's too painful you can't appreciate nuance of flavor. |
![]() |
![]() uhhh stream on! good free saxophone but where are you Danny?! |
![]() |
![]() Yeah...kind of. Good caviar is just salty enough and not soterribly fishy...but also nutty and buttery. So like with cheese if one obvious attribute overwhelms the possibility of others...then meh. As with hot sauce, too. |
![]() |
Thu. 10/4/18 10:40pm
northguineahills:
@cole: I'm more for the sake (rice wine) of bragging. What UM said, good caviar is awesome (I put it on crackers or a mild cheese). Crappy caviar is "meh", but I love fish eggs. My favorites are from Russ & Daughters. |
Thu. 10/4/18 10:42pm
Dean:
My favorite dish in town is matrimonios: grilled anchovies on crostini with a dollop of aioli. It's served at a restaurant next door to Chez Panisse. It's fishy as hell, and garlicky as hell. Utter bliss. I want it for breakfast every day. | |

Sounds awesome, Dean! |

![]() I believe that track was from Wildflowers, for those interested, have the LP somewhere. |
![]() |
![]() I like marinated white anchovies on crostini with olive-loil pan-roasted and chilled red, yellow and orange bell pepper strips. |
![]() |
![]() with minced parsley and garlic olive oil...I should add |
Thu. 10/4/18 10:46pm
Dean:
Truly, it is. Rarely am I blown away by the cooking in these parts. SF and the Bay Area are absurdly overrated. But matrimonios at Cesar? Just about perfect. | |

One of my daily refrains is, "Fuck the internet" (by which I mean the web and its attendant "tools" and "apps" and "plugins" and "add-ons" and such). The morons who "invented" this crap deserve our disdain. | |

Dean:
I pitched in this evening, despite telling Evan at Explorers Room that I'd contribute next week. (And I will.) Others? Vibes, yes. I had a hard time remembering yesterday Walt Dickerson's name, whose record with Sun Ra is one of my desert island must-haves. The other is Tragicomedia's Anna Magdalena Notebook. | |

Ah, Dean, you're the greatest. My behind-the-scenes view isn't accessible at the moment, but I'll get you properly thanked on the air when I can see the numbers |
Thu. 10/4/18 11:24pm
Dean:
No need for "proper" thanks, none at all. | |

![]() @Dean - I like the Walt Dickerson record 'Impressions of a Patch of Blue' (with Sun Ra). |

Dean! This is your shot! Are you going to take it? I have reasonable dreams of coming to JC and helping out for a week. My dreams might be under performing, but I still like them. | |
Thu. 10/4/18 11:28pm

Oh, yeah. I was thinking of the later (?) one, Visions, from 1978. | |

1965? Way before Visions! | |

Thu. 10/4/18 11:38pm
Dean:
Visions, doctorjazz? You won't be disappointed. I have four copies: a cassette from a friend in Connecticut, a CD-R from the friend in CT, the reissue CD with extra tracks, and the LP. I first heard it in Quebec, at the apartment of an attendee at Victo one year. I was stricken. He also played for us John Carter's Castles of Ghana, which I also adore. | |
