Just occurred to me that there were two similarly named British experimental / post-punk groups releasing music at the same time during the early '80s: Two Daughters and Deux Filles. Don't think they were related, though!

The Two Daughters cassette on now is the one with a photo of two figures (in the pic above the playlist, I mean).

this is lovely, Tony. A friend of mine posted this cassette on a blog of his some seven years ago. Haven't heard it since.

Free trip to Marineville to anyone who can ID the LP underneath today's cassettes. I'll even give you a clue: It's related to the band Utopia.
Avatar 12:21pm
Tony Coulter:

Thanks, Mark!

I used to avoid playing tapes on this show that had been blogged. Then I decided that since so many links are short-lived, I'd just play 'em regardless.

your decision was a good one, Tony. Shame they can't be archived, but still.
Avatar 12:26pm
Tony Coulter:

Yeah -- the non-archiving is not my idea. One way around the problem I've thought of, but so far rejected, is to only play one side of a tape -- then I could archive these shows. I MAY start doing that at some point.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:27pm

Can you do one side on one show and the other side on a different show??

so many memories come to me when I hear sounds like this from that era. It was a period of mysterious discoveries, one more elusively unknown than the next. Is it my internal date stamp that still makes them sound that way to me now? Other musical interests from my youthful past have started to age and sag quite easily.

My cover sort of fell part (the glued-on white bits fell off the piece of black paper), so I photographed the insert instead.

Wow - I remember hearing Pascal Comelade back in the early 80's on WNYC's 'New Sounds', and writing down his name (FMU was not an easy signal to secure back then - 'New Sounds' was my go-to back in the day. Much respect for Mr. Schaefer).
  1:38pm
Dean:

A Portland question, sort of: I just learned yesterday that the headquarters of a tube amplifier manufacturer, Whammerdyne, are on Alberta NE. My in-laws live walking distance from this neighborhood. Any idea what these things cost?
Avatar 1:38pm
Tony Coulter:

John Schaefer's "New Sounds" book is worth tracking down too. It's in a shelf nearby, in fact.

William Duckworth's Talking Music is a good read, too.

I can recommend a good place to get donuts on NE Alberta, though.
Avatar 1:40pm

The internet is a series of tube amplifiers, I read.
  1:41pm

I've probably been to that donut shop.

I'm actually a solid state kinda guy, but those Whammerdyne's look awesome. And hi-fi really is all about how the gear looks, right?
Avatar 1:45pm

Also, who can resist a name like Whammerdyne? Wham, Bam, Whammerdyne.

@ Dean: I'd be cautious. With a name like that, you could be headed to Looney Tunes territory!
  1:49pm

For reals? Yeah, I kinda figured as much. Truth be told, this is on the low end of the range of gear I am hoping to sell my various limbs and, if need be, children, to acquire. Th-th-th-that's all, folks!

Once you squeeze the Internet out of the tube amplifiers, there's no squeezing it back.
