Calling from a coastal bluff, West Coast Fog gets into some seaside synths, ecology odes, contemporary sinfonias, and more. All from '80s to '90s tapes this week.

Join us as we broadcast from a sloop moored in a tranquil cove in San Francisco Bay. Hear aquatic sounds and stories from '80s and '90s cassette tapes.

Experience the humidity and bird sounds on a Southern California evening and hear vintage tapes from France, San Francisco, Santa Rosa, Berkeley, Willits, and Nevada City.

In which Naval history, cycling routes, and avant garde recordings become entwined. Rover, Glen Neff, Charlemagne Palestine, Samonas, Richard Gerevich among others... Mill Valley, Cal Arts, S-town, and Deutschland, das ganze Leben lang...

High Sierra lake eskape with a cassette boombox and meditative and spiritual '80s and '90s tapes from Tom Mandel, Martin & Scott, Ron Lloyd, Jai Josefs, John York, George Tortorelli, and Ivan Trilha...

Last fummer we visited Garry Kvistad at the Woodstock Chimes headquarters in the Hudson Valley. Listen to selections from his 1990 cassette tape and hear sounds from his incredible collection of musical instruments.

In which West Coast Fog and a dog venture into the depths of a remote canyon; wade through a boulder-strewn stream; encounter wildlife; and get be-nighted all the while listening to older music that felt appropriate at the time on a Sports Walkman.

Hear attuned pop sounds plus healing and devotional music from the '70s up to the new millennium, from cassettes and even a record this week. Catch wafting sounds from the past, lingering above Massachusetts, Palo Alto, Seattle, Eugene, Canada, and Redondo Beach.

At long last the Beverly Ritz story. Jazzy sounds from Rustic Canyon, Seattle, and the Oregon and Northern California coast in the '80s and '90s. Hear the stories of hungry sea lions, baby seals, and jetty cats told in song. Meow!

Follow West Coast Fog up to the snowline and down to the cascades. Escape aurically to the past histories of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Central Park, Boulder, Tulsa, and beyond. Almost all '80s tapes this time.
