Hello, all! Today's mystery LP-under-the-cassettes is really obscure, so I'll just ID it right off the bat (you can pretend you would have known it). Anyway, it's a s/t 1983 LP by the Noh Buddies: www.discogs.com...

This Etat Brut tape certainly provides your daily dose of hiss. The volume level of the music is very low, so I have to crank it *way* up -- hence, the hiss quotient is expanded.

@ ynod: I did, for the first couple of years after I moved to Portland -- but I've kicked the habit. Not to shock anyone here with my puritanicalness, but ... I'm off sugar these days. (Though I did indulge in bread pudding a few times this Christmas season.)

Tony congratulations on your abstinence from refined sugar. it's not puritanical, it's actually reasonable, as opposed to how most people eat.
i'm actually as bad as ever with the sugar. i eat 2-3 chocolates almost every day and way too much honey in my tea.
it's probably killing me.

@ coel: Voodoo Donuts is a chain here in Portland. The owner ran for mayor, and they even have their own record label.

i've seen voodoo donuts on some (waste-of-time) tv program a while back, though have never been there

Avatar 🥁 ♥ 1:11pm
spodiodi:

i haven't had a dunkin donut either, in many years
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 1:12pm
coelacanth∅:

i think their coffee was weak (at best) by the time i first tried it, decades ago; but when i was a child the doughnuts were made on premises every morning and they had... 35?... 40? different ones to choose from - none bad.
Avatar ♥ 1:12pm

Voodoo Donuts certainly has more indie cred/cachet than Dunkin' Donuts: They've released music by Poison Idea and Dead Moon. www.voodoodoughnutrecordings.com

(Which I find comical.)

In stark contrast to all this donut-talk, I've been summoned downstairs to enjoy a vegan "beetloaf" for lunch. I'll be back.

Mark Williams:

My early years were spent in Europe. My mother is from there and my whole life has been a mix of one foot in one culture, one foot in another. But the context provided of being from somewhere else, and having a mother who recognized much about the U.S. that was dysfunctional, gave me an early perspective about, say, diet in the US. The sugar issue alone is so plainly clear for me, but I'm always semi-surprised still to run into intelligent, discerning Americans who cannot outrun their upbringing, as it were.

Mark Williams:

@coelacantO - i didn't mean to suggest a glaring irony in writing "intelligent people," so I apologize if it came across that way. I guess it was me observing that how one grows up just hugely dominates everything that comes after that. Comfort food, cravings, associations... all of it. And we can't forget portion control. Hey Tony - what about some Portion Control!!
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 1:24pm
spodiodi:

discovered this analogy recently, and can't stop thinking about it " Think of your body like a sugar bowl. If you eat lots of sugar and glucose, the bowl fills up. If you eat more glucose, then it overflows and spills into the blood." www.dietdoctor.com... “Can you get type 2 diabetes again once you’ve reversed it?” by Dr. Jason Fung

My reading habits have been really weird since the pandemic began. I'm mostly only reading mysteries, because they relax me -- and most of them have been by either Donald E. Westlake (aka Richard Stark) or Margaret Millar. I think by now I've read around 30 Westlake books.

This just in from the BBC: "Cassette tape sales are estimated to have doubled this year compared to 2019.

The British Phonographic Industry, which represents record labels, projects 157,000 tapes will have been sold in the UK in 2020."
Avatar ♥ 2:00pm
Tony Coulter:

Originally, so many artists released music on cassette only because it was the cheapest way to do it. These days I suspect there's a bit of media fetishizing going on when artists/labels opt for cassette -- though, of course, cassette releases are still much cheaper (and faster) to do than vinyl or CDs (but maybe not than CD-Rs?)

Tony @2.00 if you're doing it at home it's many times less expensive to make a cd release than a cassette. for many years now.
cds are ~30¢ each for the best quality ones, cassettes are several dollars each for decent ones. cd/paper printer, $100.

@coel~ Do you mean a hundred-dollar unit that both burns and prints onto CD-R's?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:50pm
coelacanth∅:

ynod no that's just the printer.
...i didn't even think about quantity reproduction, since i've never had to. i duplicate 1 cd at a time.
a cd burner that duplicates 4-5(?) cds at a time was around $350 a year or 2 ago, if i remember correctly. supposedly a decent one.
... but if you're duplicating cassettes at home, how many can you produce at a time? in my case, 1.
