Here is another recording of cable television employees being dispatched to various jobs around Contra Costa County, California. This time I’m on my job as service technician number 73. This was recorded on my Superscope C-104 cassette recorder with my Bearcat 300 police scanner. The Bearcat has the ability to turn a tape recorder remote switch on and off when the squelch opens and closes. I simply set it up before work and the recorder was able to capture at least part of a typical work day of myself and other workers being dipatched to service calls.

Here is a recording of Richard Lyons and myself on the first Thanksgiving I celebrated after my parents and grandparents passed away. It features the sounds of kitchen appliances, pots, pans, and it takes place at my parents home in Martinez, California. Richard’s wit and my obsessive compulsiveness show throughout. I used my Superscope C-104 cassette recorder and a RadioShack condenser microphone capsule for recording. You may have noticed I categorized this as a “Family Tape” as Richard was pretty much like a brother and a member of Negativland, as well.
