Welcome to the DBD, a Write for California community board where you can chat about pretty much anything. Like, do you still listen to the radio? If so, when and which one?
I’ve really expanded my jazz listening over the past few years. I never thought I’d “get into it” but it’s really good. So much variation too, so I can usually find something I like. As far as well-known, stuff, I’m a fan of Art Blakey and Thelonius Monk. I’ve never really warmed to Miles Davis, though.
Then we get into fusion and prog rock and it’s so good.
On fusion, rock fusion of Return to Forever is amazing, as are many of the 60s and 70s solo albums from folks associated with RTF, including Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, and Airto Moreira.
There’s a severe shortage of said clubs in 99% of the country, IMHO. There’s not a single town in the country that couldn’t use both a jazz club and a Top Dog.
I remember you used to be able to get the same dogs Top Dog uses on Amazon. For me, the buns are what make it Top Dog. They're not hot dog buns. Can't describe it but they're less bread-y than hot dog buns and more like sour dough rolls. That and the way they cook it.
When I buy Louisiana Hots from Costco I'll grill or fry them on a cast iron pan and then either use Semifreddi baguettes or a narrower artisan french bread.
The bun is a big part of the success, man. The thing that we shoot for with the bun is finding a bun that is light enough so that it doesn’t overshadow the dog, so your teeth can sink into it but you don’t have to chew the bun. You don’t want to spend most of your time chewing the bun. So instead of sourdough, we use a French Roll, which is much softer and will almost melt in your mouth.
You want to get it so that when you toast it up, it’s light and toasty on the outside, but soft on the inside, so we use sesame seeds on the exterior to allow the top to toast without burning all the way through. The sesame seeds absorb some of the heat from the toasting process.
REM's first big song I guess. The first track on Eponymous, their first Best Hits compilation. Although Eponymous doesn't include Superman, their best song in my opinion.
I actually had a third class radio-telephone operator's license and did some DJing at KALX. Had to borrow a car to get up the hill from Bowles for the morning shift. "Austin Tatious" the night DJ once gave me a smoke and I did my broadcast, uh, affected... Good times.
Pa Chitwood was a radio DJ in Carmel for KRML when I was born. We still have a few cool records from his spinning days, tho Ma Chitwood adiosed a majority of them when they split back in the Kidd/Murray years…
My go-to radio stations are KDFC (classical), KCBS (news), and KNBR (Giants baseball). I will boycott KGO while Starkey is still announcing. KGO's format change is nonsense; after Starkey retires I hope to listen to Cal football on the radio again.
Most of the time that I listen to the radio now is while driving. Not so much at home.
I also listened to KGO as a diversion. The talk radio format allowed for diversions occasionally. KGO was a good station to listen to when I was doing something fairly mindless like yard work.
I made a crystal radio from a kit. It was cool, you had to have a really long antenna, like 30 feet or so, but it didn't require any other power source.
I do listen to the radio. A little sports talk and a 24 hour news station (WTOP) that is much like KCBS in the Bay Area. Mostly listen to the news when cooking or eating. At times WTOP has had the highest revenue of any radio station in the country.
I have fond memories of streaming Iran Radio while a student at Cal. I loved the traditional Persian station, but also rocked out to songs such as Dige Azat Badam Miad on the pop station.
Satellite radio. I have a long commute (2 hours round trip) and it is a life saver! So worth the cost. The music channels are great, but so are the sports and comedy stations.
I got No 2 a used car before starting grad school and drove cross country with him. I did the free 3 month trial for XM for the drive. He had said he wouldn't use it because he could always use the radio or something like spotify. I think he likes it because for his bday he asked me to extend it for the year. I just did the $5/mo for a year extension they offered and going to $18/mo after. Wow I didn't realize it was so expensive.
SiriusXm ratchets up the price every year…this year it tripled. I do the same annual song and dance ritual where I call them and threaten some poor CSR in Bangladesh with cancellation, before finally getting another year after a marginal price increase.
I call it SiriusXM Day… it’s a yearly event now - my own personal Bobby Bo Day?
I used to do the same thing back when I had Comcast. Rates were fixed for 12 months, then they'd go up ~50% overnight. I'd call and pretend I'm going to cancel, get them back to the promotional rate, and repeat the process a year later.
I paid no attention to the team in the lead up to the season and I have no regrets about that decision. Looks like another year of completely ignoring men's bball.
It's going to take years to rejuvenate the fanbase after the Jones-Fox disasters.
I turned off the game at halftime. When I turned it back on we were ahead 62-61 with around 5:30 left. We then proceeded to lay an egg. Anyway I don't get Pac-12 Bay Area so I had to stream it from my phone where I have the Pac-12 Now App to my Samsung smart TV. Worked quite well, HD picture and so on. Still, the camera was way up in the rafters it seemed like so the perspective was a bit strange.
The lighting was strange - big hotspots in the area of the free throw lines. Either PAC-12 nets was using their camera bought on eBay or Cal needs to adjust the lights.
Same stuff from a Fox coached team that we’ve seen for now 4 seasons in Berkeley, and 13 straight overall, made slightly more embarrassing by his recent quotes paying lip service to how they’d been in rebuilding mode for 36 months and now finally had a proper Fox roster.
When can we reasonably expect Carol Christ to retire?
Starting to think there will be no meaningful change in football or Men’s basketball until that transition occurs. That will hopefully prompt an AD change, and so on…
Based on the emails I receive from her to the campus community/donors it doesn't seem like she has any plans to step down. I guess what we can hope for is that the triumvirate of Knowlton, Fox, and Wilcox after some years wandering in the wilderness will finally arrive in the land of milk and honey.
BERKELEY – The Cal women's basketball team officially opened the 2022-23 season with an 86-56 win over Cal State Northridge at Haas Pavilion Monday. The Bears were led by Evelien Lutje Schipholt's game-high 16 points (on 6-10 shooting) along with Leilani McIntosh's 14 points (on 4-7 shooting). Peanut Tuitele posted a game-high nine rebounds while Karisma Ortiz notched three steals, one away from her career high.
"This is who we want to be," said Cal head coach Charmin Smith. "I'm really proud of how we came out today and imposed our will. It was a big step forward."
After its 17-4 victory at No. 14 San Jose State on Sunday, the No. 1 California men's water polo team swept the MPSF men's water polo weekly awards, the conference announced Monday afternoon.
Junior goalie Adrian Weinberg was named Player of the Week for the second week in a row after his performance against the Spartans. Weinberg notched 15 saves and an assist in the match, anchoring a Cal defense that held SJSU to a season-low four goals in the contest. This is the third career MPSF Player of the Week honor for Weinberg.
Cal football trivia fun fact. Sponsored by Ask Jeeves, the preferred search engine of British butlers.
Cal’s loss to U$C Saturday means that this will be the 64th year in a row in which the Bears haven’t beaten their three rivals in the same season. The Sturdy Golden Ones have only ever accomplished the feat six times, the Rose Bowl years of ’37, ’48, ’49, 50 and ’58, and in 1941 a year in which they won only one other game (St. Mary’s — on the day Oski made his debut).

I despise political fundraising. It depresses me because it's obvious that if you have little money to give or no money to give, you have less voice. That's a remarkably plutocratic message to send.
My mom's been getting jillions of texts from Dem candidates asking for more money. Last week she intended to send $25 to Chuck Schumer but instead donated $2500 accidentally.
My work phone gets a bunch of "THIS IS ERIC TRUMP! WE NEED TO HELP MY DAD DEFEAT THE DEMS!" and my personal phone gets a lot of progressive ones addressed to my brother, for some reason.

DeSean Jackson makes 2022 debut. Catches one pass, and one more that was called back on holding. Exits the game with hamstring injury and didn't return.
I got his autograph once at the Cal FanFest thing and stood next to him for a pic. He is maybe 5’7” or 5’8”, slightly built. Impressive he has had such a long career!
Ain't that the truth. Last year I was changing a lightbulb in a recessed light in the ceiling and my hammy popped. You can get injured doing the stupidest things. Oh to be 19 again and indestructible.
The Golden State Warriors avoided disaster on Monday night. Thanks to another amazing performance from Steph Curry, the Dubs defeated the Sacramento Kings 116-113 and avoided falling to 3-8.
The Warriors seemed to be following a dangerous script in the first half. Golden State’s starters jumped out to a 27-17 lead, but the Dubs collapsed as soon as Curry went to the bench and head coach Steve Kerr turned to the team’s reserves.
Former second overall pick James Wiseman, who had a team-worst plus/minus heading into play on Monday, did not play. If Kerr hoped removing the seven-footer would transform the effectiveness of his second unit, he was sorely disappointed with the results. The Kings erased the Dubs 10-point lead before the end of the first quarter.

Used to stop in a jazz club as I walked home on College Avenue to Piedmont area.

Maybe we need a Top Dog meetup sometime soon...
Anytime. I'm always up for Top Dog
ideally i would listen to jazz more but i never know where to start or how to branch out.
taking suggestions ..
Good places to start: Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Lester Young and Sidney Bechet.
I’m on a Bird kick.
i have some Ellington and Peterson, but will check out the others.
RADIO
Free Europe
REM's first big song I guess. The first track on Eponymous, their first Best Hits compilation. Although Eponymous doesn't include Superman, their best song in my opinion.
I liked REM when they came out, but after their first 4 albums, they just seemed to be repeating themselves.
I didn't listen to most of the new stuff after Automatic for the People.
I usually listen to the local NPR station when I'm out and about
same. it only amounts to about 45 min a week and at very random times.
but i listen to the classical music variant of the same station mostly
KALX!
I actually had a third class radio-telephone operator's license and did some DJing at KALX. Had to borrow a car to get up the hill from Bowles for the morning shift. "Austin Tatious" the night DJ once gave me a smoke and I did my broadcast, uh, affected... Good times.
Pa Chitwood was a radio DJ in Carmel for KRML when I was born. We still have a few cool records from his spinning days, tho Ma Chitwood adiosed a majority of them when they split back in the Kidd/Murray years…
Ah was that when it was all jazz? I flip to it sometimes when I visit my parents in Monterey. It seems to be like an oldies rando station now
My go-to radio stations are KDFC (classical), KCBS (news), and KNBR (Giants baseball). I will boycott KGO while Starkey is still announcing. KGO's format change is nonsense; after Starkey retires I hope to listen to Cal football on the radio again.
Most of the time that I listen to the radio now is while driving. Not so much at home.
Couldn't agree more - Starkey is retiring 47 years too late.
KGO used to provide some diversion while driving, now it's become a 24 hour sports infomercial. Airwave radio is turning into a bland diet.
I also listened to KGO as a diversion. The talk radio format allowed for diversions occasionally. KGO was a good station to listen to when I was doing something fairly mindless like yard work.
in a HS electronics class (freshman year) we built an AM radio more or less from scratch.
it was a kit where you had to solder all the right parts into place, but it was particularly gratifying when it finally worked ...
I remember that radio. It was pretty cool.
mine barely worked. there was something messed up w/ my power/volume knob. and even then you had to whack it a couple times to get it to work
I made a crystal radio from a kit. It was cool, you had to have a really long antenna, like 30 feet or so, but it didn't require any other power source.

Steph Curry lifts Warriors over Kings with an amazing 47-point performance

The Golden State Warriors avoided disaster on Monday night. Thanks to another amazing performance from Steph Curry, the Dubs defeated the Sacramento Kings 116-113 and avoided falling to 3-8.
The Warriors seemed to be following a dangerous script in the first half. Golden State’s starters jumped out to a 27-17 lead, but the Dubs collapsed as soon as Curry went to the bench and head coach Steve Kerr turned to the team’s reserves.
Former second overall pick James Wiseman, who had a team-worst plus/minus heading into play on Monday, did not play. If Kerr hoped removing the seven-footer would transform the effectiveness of his second unit, he was sorely disappointed with the results. The Kings erased the Dubs 10-point lead before the end of the first quarter.
