Base Camp Beta Base Camp Beta

On this Very Special Episode of Base Camp Beta, Chris and Shawn trek down to Sheepshead Bay to visit their friend Salvatore Carlino aka P. Leone at his newly opened pizzeria, Lucia of Avenue X. After having some killer slices, they dive into a deep discussion of the topics that really matter: fermentation techniques, dough hydration, what Pete Wells looks like, and answering the age old question of "what is the culinary equivalent of the 909 hi-hat?".

Chris and Shawn hike to Prospect Park, eat jerk chicken, and then have a technical glitch while talking about their now-infallible recording process. They reconvene a few days later to talk about the art of learning.

Live from L&B Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn, NY. We talk giallo and italo-disco, dough hydration, and Richard H Kirk.

RIP Jasen Loveland

We dedicate this episode to our friend Andrew Smith aka Jasen Loveland who recently passed away. An incredibly prolific producer who immersed himself deeply in his music, we read through his "12 Studio Traditions" - a set of guidelines and traditions for keeping creativity flowing.

Please explore Andrew's work over at his Bandcamp: https://jasenloveland.bandcamp.com/

Outro Music: The Lone Flanger - "When She Microdoses Part II"
Intro Music: Beau Wanzer - "Basement Dwellers"

Real relaxed show today as Shawn and Chris begin to shoot the shit about Basic Channel's "Dytiq" and Kid Creole & The Coconuts "Don't Take My Coconuts" but quickly get derailed towards topics from sourdough to NFTs.

The Base Camp Crew talks about Mark Fisher's 2013 essay "The Slow Cancellation of the Future", neoliberalism's effect on production and consumption of culture, and how 100 Gecs throws a wrench in to all of it.
