	7:10pm Flash Strap: insane guitar on this. been really enjoying this norwegian folk-jazz comp lately, even tho i've had it for years now
	7:10pm TDK60: I was gonna say Kandinsky or Miro at first but looked it up first.
	7:11pm Flash Strap: lotta visual language overlap between Miro, Gorky, and Matta especially
	🥁 7:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonderful to be invited to your Church ...I brought my friend Sonny Sharrock & lotsa LSD...
	7:12pm TDK60: Another thing, I've never even /heard/ of folk jazz till now!
	7:12pm Andrew Waterloo: This Egil guy just great in many ways
	7:13pm Flash Strap: Hi Rev! sounds like we're in very good company this evening
	7:14pm Flash Strap: Hi Andrew! yeah I need to look deeper into that, I want to hear more. and whoever's on guitar there, I want to hear whatever else they do. but i can't find a credit for them
	7:18pm Shaw: Greets. I’ve always loved the demented melody in this Faust song
	7:19pm Flash Strap: i am so crazy for faust these days and it doesn't seem to be letting up
	7:20pm Flash Strap: Hi Shaw! yeah me too, that and that repeating high frequency sound effect
	7:20pm Andrew Waterloo: discogs lists the guitar as Terje Rypdal
	7:21pm Flash Strap: @AW: oh really? wow, i had no idea! and I love Terje, particularly in that period! thank yoooou
	7:22pm Flash Strap: oh shit yeah it says it right there huh. i was looking at the original release page, overthinking my search
	7:23pm Andrew Waterloo: ..and my ECM guy has a couple albums he's on for sale
	7:24pm Doug Schulkind: Wonderful wonderful!
	7:24pm Frog Mover: Always on time for Faust and Froese
	7:24pm headcleaner: good evening, intrepid travelers
	7:25pm Flash Strap: AW: Terje's solos Bleak House and the self titled are INSANE. also the Min Bul record
	7:25pm Flash Strap: hey frog mo, head cleaner!
	7:25pm Flash Strap: hi Doug!
	🥁 7:30pm chresti: The shape at the bottom, center of the Gorky painting reminds me of a shoe that I once wore.
	7:33pm TDK60: Hola chresti.
	🥁 7:34pm chresti: Hola TDK60.\\ //
	🥁 7:35pm WR: Hi Evan & Explorers.
	7:39pm Flash Strap: @chresti: a lovely slipper
	7:39pm Flash Strap: Hi WR!
	7:39pm solo mon: Ello ello
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Hello Solo Mon the wise
	7:40pm northguineahills: Hallos, everybodies!
	7:41pm Flash Strap: NGH! Hallogallo pallo
	7:41pm Little Danny: I like these vocal overdubs!
	7:42pm Flash Strap: it's a crazy artifact! and I also love it
	7:44pm Little Danny: I mean, they feel like an planned/organic part of a similarly experimental sesh.
	7:46pm Flash Strap: it definitely fits into the general feel of Can's Damo-era method – oddly it ends up sounding more like Tago Mago than anything from the Landed era. I find myself wishing they pursued this direction, but perhaps it's ultimately too similar to what came before
	7:48pm Little Danny: Totally, totally
	7:49pm northguineahills: @Evan: Now I need Neu!
	7:50pm Flash Strap: & "Unfinished" as it appears on Landed is really a kind of shimmering illusory mirage – i know it by heart and yet it's still incredibly elusive – here we can hear it 1. unpolished and less edited-down, sounding more like a raw can sesh and 2. overdubbed with insane raw howling until it's more like Yoko's Mindtrain. i feel like i'm in an alternate reality when i listen to this
	7:55pm northguineahills: The world needs more Yokos!
	7:55pm TDK60: The cut gives me an uncanny sensation.
	7:55pm Flash Strap: @TDK: hehe
	🥁 7:55pm Aitch: In late, time change. Hi explorers
	7:56pm Flash Strap: Hi Aitch!
	7:59pm solo mon: My cat is going bonkers to that track
	🥁 8:00pm chresti: In what way, solo mon?
	8:01pm solo mon: Zooming around like crazy!
	🥁 8:01pm chresti: A good way!
	8:02pm Flash Strap: i love it - go crazy cat go crazy
	8:02pm HyperDose: Meow!!
	8:02pm Flash Strap: Hy Hyperdose!
	8:02pm Scott67: G'day solo! Sorry I missed your show. It starts at 4am here now, with time changes.😐
	8:03pm Little Danny: Lucky, Solo M. Our cats are too jaded to even deign interest in music anymore.
	🥁 8:03pm chresti: I talk to the cats on the porch in a real high squeeky voice, they love it.
	8:04pm Gary via app: Hey ho!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Hi Gary!
	8:04pm doctorjazz: Hi Flash and Flashers!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc!
	8:04pm Little Danny: High and squeaky is the language of cats alright, chresti!
	8:05pm Gaylord Fields: Hello, Flash Strap! Enjoying the journey.
	8:05pm Flash Strap: Hi Gaylord! thanks for coming along pal
	8:05pm Little Danny: This is wild! Can't say I woulda guessed this was Can.
	8:06pm Little Danny: Except for that drumming.
	8:06pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan, Explorers
	8:06pm Flash Strap: @LD: it's really taking us to lots of different places, i kind of can't believe all the pockets of potential that are being revealed
	8:06pm Flash Strap: hi hi Coelacanth!
	8:08pm doctorjazz: Hey,Gaylord, don't get to listen to you in real time, listened to Sunday's show in the archives on Monday, great show!
	8:09pm Little Danny: Gaylord's Aloha Friday episode last week on Sheena was epic, too.
	8:11pm doctorjazz: Didn't catch that,LD, getting to be too much FMU to keep up with (not a bad thing)
	8:11pm Flash Strap: wow I gotta check that out!
	8:12pm doctorjazz: Can, Explorer's Room was my gateway to these guys (and their Krautrock contemporaries).
	8:13pm Flash Strap: i really really can't keep up with everything Doc - i can hardly keep up with anything actually, i'm always listening to the week's show ideas & refining it and I always forget to become a good WFMU listener
	8:13pm Flash Strap: @Doc: truly it has been my honor to make this introduction. enchantee
	8:14pm Flash Strap: ah, this right here is one of the more recognizable sections from Unfinished
	8:14pm Little Danny: I've been stuck at the house for a week and inhaling all the FMU I can. I feel kinda altered.
	8:15pm Frog Mover: This was always my favorite part. It's like landing on an alien world
	🥁 8:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not the Motorik Pop Hits I'm used to ! ...Absolutely on board - tho I may bop out to forage comestibles before they roll the edges of this North North England town up for 12 hours...
	8:15pm melinda: Hi chums!
	8:15pm Flash Strap: @frog mo: totally, it's a genuinely sublime moment, feels like your feet are lifting off the floor
	8:16pm doctorjazz: This is CRAZY!
	8:16pm Little Danny: <Hi Melinda>
	8:16pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda!
	🥁 8:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Does make me harken to a youth of ingesting cannabis fumes.
	8:17pm Flash Strap: good god
	8:18pm northguineahills: I have to admit I'm not familiar w/ Michikao Nakao (friend of Damo Suzuki?)
	8:18pm Frog Mover: @flash There was this PC game from the 90's called The Dig. This section always makes me think of it
	🥁 8:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a place to get to Musically.
	8:19pm Little Danny: This section does feel a bit like that hashish party scene in some early '70s European exploito movie.
	8:19pm Doug Schulkind: Some radio shows open up a can of whoopass. Explorers Room opens up a whoopass of Can.
	8:20pm Flash Strap: @NGH: she doesn't seem to have recorded much - she was Brian Eno's partner from about '71-74, which must have been how she met Can. I think she's primarily a different kind of artist, but I dont know much about her
	🥁 8:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Doug Wurd !
	8:20pm Flash Strap: others whoop a whole can of ass, couldn't be me
	8:21pm Little Danny: C'mon Doug you can do better than that.
	8:21pm Flash Strap: @Frog Mo: i gotta dig into this Dig situation, i'm curious
	8:22pm Doug Schulkind: @Little Danny Admittedly, not my finest moment.
	8:23pm northguineahills: @Doug: I can do worse....
	8:23pm Little Danny: I love you Doug!
	8:23pm northguineahills: Thanks Flash!
	8:24pm Frog Mover: From the days of CD-ROM and Spielberg en.wikipedia.org...
	8:26pm Flash Strap: very odd single. shoulda been a huge international hit despite all
	8:26pm Little Danny: Thanks for that link, Frog Mover! I love what I see.
	8:26pm Flash Strap: @FM: looks very cool, wanna play
	8:27pm Little Danny: This is great, totally new to me.
	8:27pm Frog Mover: @LD from the age of point and click games like Myst and 7th Guest
	🥁 8:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Shadows
	8:36pm Flash Strap: never played 7th guest but i remember really digging Myst and Return to Zork
	8:44pm Frog Mover: 7th Guest was cool! Haunted mansion with spooky puzzles. Never really made it to Zork, but Myst is amazing
	8:45pm headcleaner: fine stuff, flash - I feel genuinely elevated listening this set
	8:45pm Flash Strap: Wilton "Bogey" Gaynair, a great Jamaican saxophonist
	8:46pm Flash Strap: couldn't be more pleased to hear it, headcleaner!
	8:47pm Little Danny: Love this! Wilton Gaynair is a totally new name to me.
	8:47pm Flash Strap: Zork was weird
	8:48pm Flash Strap: i first heard this on that Jamaican jazz comp
	8:49pm Flash Strap: www.discogs.com...
	8:51pm Little Danny: Oh nice I will be downloading that.
	8:51pm Flash Strap: it's a good comp!
	8:52pm Little Danny: Henry Jacobs's early electronic stuff was so good. And pretty far out for its time! Not sure why it doesn't get talked about more.
	🥁 8:53pm WR: Yes, Wilton "Bogey" Gaynair, nice.
	8:54pm Flash Strap: I agree, LD! he's one of my biggest creative heroes. I hardly ever see anyone talking about him
	8:55pm TDK60: Why isn't this a Galactic smash? yet...
	8:55pm northguineahills: Ok, Cecile Leuter was my first guess..
	8:56pm Flash Strap: @NGH: had to be either him or Pierre Henry!
	🥁 8:56pm Aitch: Work/lurking, but loving the electro-squiggles in the Stelvio Cipriani
	8:57pm Flash Strap: @Aitch: for future reference the squiggles you loved were probably in the Leuter, that's a be-all end-all squiggle LP right there
	9:03pm solo mon: Good stuff coming out of my speakers!
	9:03pm northguineahills: I was about to make a Pierre Henry remark on Pierre Arvay (got distracted)
	🥁 9:03pm Aitch: Thanks for the clarity Evan, must look down that hole.
	9:03pm HyperDose: LSO does not mess around. Very tight mix
	9:05pm Flash Strap: @aitch: it's a top contender for "best" library album imo
	9:05pm Flash Strap: @hyperdose: it really is the exact thing they set out to make, real pros from dover shit
	9:08pm northguineahills: Mimaroglu! (I have this on vinyl, got it for 50 cents at a library sale).
	9:09pm Flash Strap: Mimaroglu is such an intense composer man, he really wants to make you feel ideas and concepts, very painterly but in a different way than people usually use the term I think
	9:09pm Flash Strap: that's a good get and a good deal NGH – John Cage and Luciano Berio on there too
	9:13pm drowsy: Just popping in to say this is Good Agony. Thanks.
	9:13pm Flash Strap: Hi drowsy! thanks for popping in
	9:16pm northguineahills: On that same trip, I found some Cage, Varese, Berio, and another Mimaroglu in dowtown Jax. I walked back to my car 8 blocks away w/ 42 rekkids up to my eyes. I barely got them back w/o spilling them.
	🥁 9:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brian Wilson's favorite !
	9:18pm Little Danny: Hahaha this is actually making me laugh.
	9:18pm northguineahills: Off for a walk!
	9:18pm Little Danny: Involuntary sympathetic reaction over here.
	9:19pm Flash Strap: god i love it too
	🥁 9:19pm chresti: Haha
	9:19pm StringOFperils: Crazy chimpanzees
	9:20pm Little Danny: I picture you and Franco cutting a laughing record, Chresti.
	9:20pm Flash Strap: @NGH: that was a hell of a haul man
	9:21pm Flash Strap: hi SoP!
	9:22pm TDK60: I didn't know laughing records were a thing-- before my time.
	9:23pm Flash Strap: that canary compilation is a pretty good rundown of a lot of great laughing records
	9:24pm Little Danny: I had a vague awareness that laughing records existed but was really only familiar with "Delicious" which would be the form's postwar apotheosis I would guess.
	9:26pm Flash Strap: i love this fwiw: canary-records.bandcamp.com...
	🥁 9:27pm chresti: I was just looking at that, Flash.
	🥁 9:29pm WR: Note: this Mingus isn't live in a club. Mingus just wanted to record it as if...
	9:29pm Flash Strap: it's just a delight, chresti
	9:30pm Flash Strap: @WR: it's like a warning to anyone who may hear the record and come to a show later, he's so funny and serious
	🥁 9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Is Eric Dolphy on here ?
	9:34pm Flash Strap: you know it
	🥁 9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pretty Out for 1961 if your name isn't Ornette.
	9:34pm Flash Strap: god so good
	🥁 9:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I always get this feeling that Out stuff is actually Roots stuff...
	🥁 9:36pm WR: img.discogs.com... OMG, there was a3 min. single release, oh to have played it on a juke box in a var or restaurant...
	9:36pm Flash Strap: yeah he just had them spontaneously follow him on bass while he kept changing up the patterns, ya gotta imagine it influenced Out to Lunch
	9:36pm Flash Strap: @WR: wow, that's a juke hit for sure
	9:37pm Little Danny: Wow, amazing drums here.
	9:37pm Flash Strap: @LD: seriously
	9:37pm Flash Strap: Dannie Richmond on drums
	🥁 9:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gotta figure - who could hang w/ Mingus even as just a dude - haha...
	9:39pm Little Danny: I know his name but know nothing about him. I always did a bit of an eyeroll when people describe drumming as melodic but this is, in fact, some melodic drumming.
	9:40pm spodiodi: greetings, Flash and Explorers!
	9:40pm Flash Strap: hi spodiodi!
	🥁 9:40pm WR: Rev Rab Nov63, much truth to that, you let the spirit, take you. Kidd Jordan says he is always going for the Haleluah feeling.
	9:41pm Flash Strap: this one's thanks to LD
	9:42pm Little Danny: Oh yes! Awesome!
	9:43pm Flash Strap: been trying to do a proper dig into the rest of the ghost box catalog, a little daunting
	🥁 9:43pm chresti: Nice avatar spodi\\//
	9:46pm spodiodi: thanks, chresti \\// (it's Flip The Frog (in Fire, Fire (or a similar title)) inspired by Codger's show today
	9:47pm Little Danny: @Flash: Some of it's a bit '60s-70s retro-UK-bleepy-bloopy for my tastes, but that's me. The Focus Group is my favorite of the Ghost Box artists, though.
	9:49pm Little Danny: Gotta go start doing my stretches, but thanks another great show tonight, Evan! Always totally inspired by your selectory.
	9:49pm Flash Strap: yeah i like all the focus group stuff i've heard, sounds "authentic" in its aims & executions, rather than some more twee reenactment you'll find there at its worst... but there's some other stuff that's intrigued me greatly
	9:49pm Flash Strap: looking very much forward to the blue flame tonight brother
	9:50pm Flash Strap: I was I am I am to come I was I am I am to come I was I am
	9:50pm HyperDose: I wonder how early LD wakes up to start cranking the Flame-O-Scope and load all the slides?
	9:50pm Little Danny: Close your eyes and let your ears guide you to your next stop: wfmu.org... Hope to see y'all there!
	9:51pm Asheville Jon: Thanks for the lyrics. I was wondering if she was saying she had to cut her horse
	9:51pm Little Danny: @HD: That's what my poorly paid staff of film students is for!
	🥁 9:55pm Aitch: Flame-O-Scope should be banned due to negative productivity impacts.
	9:56pm TDK60: Thanks for the show, Flash.
	🥁 9:57pm chresti: Thanks Flash Strap!
	🥁 9:57pm Aitch: This show always fascinating
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Excellent as always Evan Thanks!
	9:58pm HyperDose: @Aitch Seriously, the camera guy could lend a hand on the assembly line! Thanks Flash! Always an adventure!
	🥁 9:58pm WR: Thank you Evan, marvelous program. Laters all.
	9:58pm Flash Strap: Thanks all! love to fascinate
	9:59pm Flash Strap: night night
	🥁 9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thanks so much !
	9:59pm spodiodi: thanks, Flash!
	10:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks!
	10:10pm Scott67: Thanks Flash!✌😎🌏

View Flash Strap's profile

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

	7:10pm TDK60: I was gonna say Kandinsky or Miro at first but looked it up first.
	7:11pm Flash Strap: lotta visual language overlap between Miro, Gorky, and Matta especially
	🥁 7:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonderful to be invited to your Church ...I brought my friend Sonny Sharrock & lotsa LSD...
	7:12pm TDK60: Another thing, I've never even /heard/ of folk jazz till now!
	7:12pm Andrew Waterloo: This Egil guy just great in many ways
	7:13pm Flash Strap: Hi Rev! sounds like we're in very good company this evening
	7:14pm Flash Strap: Hi Andrew! yeah I need to look deeper into that, I want to hear more. and whoever's on guitar there, I want to hear whatever else they do. but i can't find a credit for them
	7:18pm Shaw: Greets. I’ve always loved the demented melody in this Faust song
	7:19pm Flash Strap: i am so crazy for faust these days and it doesn't seem to be letting up
	7:20pm Flash Strap: Hi Shaw! yeah me too, that and that repeating high frequency sound effect
	7:20pm Andrew Waterloo: discogs lists the guitar as Terje Rypdal
	7:21pm Flash Strap: @AW: oh really? wow, i had no idea! and I love Terje, particularly in that period! thank yoooou
	7:22pm Flash Strap: oh shit yeah it says it right there huh. i was looking at the original release page, overthinking my search
	7:23pm Andrew Waterloo: ..and my ECM guy has a couple albums he's on for sale
	7:24pm Doug Schulkind: Wonderful wonderful!
	7:24pm Frog Mover: Always on time for Faust and Froese
	7:24pm headcleaner: good evening, intrepid travelers
	7:25pm Flash Strap: AW: Terje's solos Bleak House and the self titled are INSANE. also the Min Bul record
	7:25pm Flash Strap: hey frog mo, head cleaner!
	7:25pm Flash Strap: hi Doug!
	🥁 7:30pm chresti: The shape at the bottom, center of the Gorky painting reminds me of a shoe that I once wore.
	7:33pm TDK60: Hola chresti.
	🥁 7:34pm chresti: Hola TDK60.\\ //
	🥁 7:35pm WR: Hi Evan & Explorers.
	7:39pm Flash Strap: @chresti: a lovely slipper
	7:39pm Flash Strap: Hi WR!
	7:39pm solo mon: Ello ello
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Hello Solo Mon the wise
	7:40pm northguineahills: Hallos, everybodies!
	7:41pm Flash Strap: NGH! Hallogallo pallo
	7:41pm Little Danny: I like these vocal overdubs!
	7:42pm Flash Strap: it's a crazy artifact! and I also love it
	7:44pm Little Danny: I mean, they feel like an planned/organic part of a similarly experimental sesh.
	7:46pm Flash Strap: it definitely fits into the general feel of Can's Damo-era method – oddly it ends up sounding more like Tago Mago than anything from the Landed era. I find myself wishing they pursued this direction, but perhaps it's ultimately too similar to what came before
	7:48pm Little Danny: Totally, totally
	7:49pm northguineahills: @Evan: Now I need Neu!
	7:50pm Flash Strap: & "Unfinished" as it appears on Landed is really a kind of shimmering illusory mirage – i know it by heart and yet it's still incredibly elusive – here we can hear it 1. unpolished and less edited-down, sounding more like a raw can sesh and 2. overdubbed with insane raw howling until it's more like Yoko's Mindtrain. i feel like i'm in an alternate reality when i listen to this
	7:55pm northguineahills: The world needs more Yokos!
	7:55pm TDK60: The cut gives me an uncanny sensation.
	7:55pm Flash Strap: @TDK: hehe
	🥁 7:55pm Aitch: In late, time change. Hi explorers
	7:56pm Flash Strap: Hi Aitch!
	7:59pm solo mon: My cat is going bonkers to that track
	🥁 8:00pm chresti: In what way, solo mon?
	8:01pm solo mon: Zooming around like crazy!
	🥁 8:01pm chresti: A good way!
	8:02pm Flash Strap: i love it - go crazy cat go crazy
	8:02pm HyperDose: Meow!!
	8:02pm Flash Strap: Hy Hyperdose!
	8:02pm Scott67: G'day solo! Sorry I missed your show. It starts at 4am here now, with time changes.😐
	8:03pm Little Danny: Lucky, Solo M. Our cats are too jaded to even deign interest in music anymore.
	🥁 8:03pm chresti: I talk to the cats on the porch in a real high squeeky voice, they love it.
	8:04pm Gary via app: Hey ho!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Hi Gary!
	8:04pm doctorjazz: Hi Flash and Flashers!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc!
	8:04pm Little Danny: High and squeaky is the language of cats alright, chresti!
	8:05pm Gaylord Fields: Hello, Flash Strap! Enjoying the journey.
	8:05pm Flash Strap: Hi Gaylord! thanks for coming along pal
	8:05pm Little Danny: This is wild! Can't say I woulda guessed this was Can.
	8:06pm Little Danny: Except for that drumming.
	8:06pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan, Explorers
	8:06pm Flash Strap: @LD: it's really taking us to lots of different places, i kind of can't believe all the pockets of potential that are being revealed
	8:06pm Flash Strap: hi hi Coelacanth!
	8:08pm doctorjazz: Hey,Gaylord, don't get to listen to you in real time, listened to Sunday's show in the archives on Monday, great show!
	8:09pm Little Danny: Gaylord's Aloha Friday episode last week on Sheena was epic, too.
	8:11pm doctorjazz: Didn't catch that,LD, getting to be too much FMU to keep up with (not a bad thing)
	8:11pm Flash Strap: wow I gotta check that out!
	8:12pm doctorjazz: Can, Explorer's Room was my gateway to these guys (and their Krautrock contemporaries).
	8:13pm Flash Strap: i really really can't keep up with everything Doc - i can hardly keep up with anything actually, i'm always listening to the week's show ideas & refining it and I always forget to become a good WFMU listener
	8:13pm Flash Strap: @Doc: truly it has been my honor to make this introduction. enchantee
	8:14pm Flash Strap: ah, this right here is one of the more recognizable sections from Unfinished
	8:14pm Little Danny: I've been stuck at the house for a week and inhaling all the FMU I can. I feel kinda altered.
	8:15pm Frog Mover: This was always my favorite part. It's like landing on an alien world
	🥁 8:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not the Motorik Pop Hits I'm used to ! ...Absolutely on board - tho I may bop out to forage comestibles before they roll the edges of this North North England town up for 12 hours...
	8:15pm melinda: Hi chums!
	8:15pm Flash Strap: @frog mo: totally, it's a genuinely sublime moment, feels like your feet are lifting off the floor
	8:16pm doctorjazz: This is CRAZY!
	8:16pm Little Danny: <Hi Melinda>
	8:16pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda!
	🥁 8:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Does make me harken to a youth of ingesting cannabis fumes.
	8:17pm Flash Strap: good god
	8:18pm northguineahills: I have to admit I'm not familiar w/ Michikao Nakao (friend of Damo Suzuki?)
	8:18pm Frog Mover: @flash There was this PC game from the 90's called The Dig. This section always makes me think of it
	🥁 8:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: What a place to get to Musically.
	8:19pm Little Danny: This section does feel a bit like that hashish party scene in some early '70s European exploito movie.
	8:19pm Doug Schulkind: Some radio shows open up a can of whoopass. Explorers Room opens up a whoopass of Can.
	8:20pm Flash Strap: @NGH: she doesn't seem to have recorded much - she was Brian Eno's partner from about '71-74, which must have been how she met Can. I think she's primarily a different kind of artist, but I dont know much about her
	🥁 8:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Doug Wurd !
	8:20pm Flash Strap: others whoop a whole can of ass, couldn't be me
	8:21pm Little Danny: C'mon Doug you can do better than that.
	8:21pm Flash Strap: @Frog Mo: i gotta dig into this Dig situation, i'm curious
	8:22pm Doug Schulkind: @Little Danny Admittedly, not my finest moment.
	8:23pm northguineahills: @Doug: I can do worse....
	8:23pm Little Danny: I love you Doug!
	8:23pm northguineahills: Thanks Flash!
	8:24pm Frog Mover: From the days of CD-ROM and Spielberg en.wikipedia.org...
	8:26pm Flash Strap: very odd single. shoulda been a huge international hit despite all
	8:26pm Little Danny: Thanks for that link, Frog Mover! I love what I see.
	8:26pm Flash Strap: @FM: looks very cool, wanna play
	8:27pm Little Danny: This is great, totally new to me.
	8:27pm Frog Mover: @LD from the age of point and click games like Myst and 7th Guest
	🥁 8:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yay Shadows
	8:36pm Flash Strap: never played 7th guest but i remember really digging Myst and Return to Zork
	8:44pm Frog Mover: 7th Guest was cool! Haunted mansion with spooky puzzles. Never really made it to Zork, but Myst is amazing
	8:45pm headcleaner: fine stuff, flash - I feel genuinely elevated listening this set
	8:45pm Flash Strap: Wilton "Bogey" Gaynair, a great Jamaican saxophonist
	8:46pm Flash Strap: couldn't be more pleased to hear it, headcleaner!
	8:47pm Little Danny: Love this! Wilton Gaynair is a totally new name to me.
	8:47pm Flash Strap: Zork was weird
	8:48pm Flash Strap: i first heard this on that Jamaican jazz comp
	8:49pm Flash Strap: www.discogs.com...
	8:51pm Little Danny: Oh nice I will be downloading that.
	8:51pm Flash Strap: it's a good comp!
	8:52pm Little Danny: Henry Jacobs's early electronic stuff was so good. And pretty far out for its time! Not sure why it doesn't get talked about more.
	🥁 8:53pm WR: Yes, Wilton "Bogey" Gaynair, nice.
	8:54pm Flash Strap: I agree, LD! he's one of my biggest creative heroes. I hardly ever see anyone talking about him
	8:55pm TDK60: Why isn't this a Galactic smash? yet...
	8:55pm northguineahills: Ok, Cecile Leuter was my first guess..
	8:56pm Flash Strap: @NGH: had to be either him or Pierre Henry!
	🥁 8:56pm Aitch: Work/lurking, but loving the electro-squiggles in the Stelvio Cipriani
	8:57pm Flash Strap: @Aitch: for future reference the squiggles you loved were probably in the Leuter, that's a be-all end-all squiggle LP right there
	9:03pm solo mon: Good stuff coming out of my speakers!
	9:03pm northguineahills: I was about to make a Pierre Henry remark on Pierre Arvay (got distracted)
	🥁 9:03pm Aitch: Thanks for the clarity Evan, must look down that hole.
	9:03pm HyperDose: LSO does not mess around. Very tight mix
	9:05pm Flash Strap: @aitch: it's a top contender for "best" library album imo
	9:05pm Flash Strap: @hyperdose: it really is the exact thing they set out to make, real pros from dover shit
	9:08pm northguineahills: Mimaroglu! (I have this on vinyl, got it for 50 cents at a library sale).
	9:09pm Flash Strap: Mimaroglu is such an intense composer man, he really wants to make you feel ideas and concepts, very painterly but in a different way than people usually use the term I think
	9:09pm Flash Strap: that's a good get and a good deal NGH – John Cage and Luciano Berio on there too
	9:13pm drowsy: Just popping in to say this is Good Agony. Thanks.
	9:13pm Flash Strap: Hi drowsy! thanks for popping in
	9:16pm northguineahills: On that same trip, I found some Cage, Varese, Berio, and another Mimaroglu in dowtown Jax. I walked back to my car 8 blocks away w/ 42 rekkids up to my eyes. I barely got them back w/o spilling them.
	🥁 9:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Brian Wilson's favorite !
	9:18pm Little Danny: Hahaha this is actually making me laugh.
	9:18pm northguineahills: Off for a walk!
	9:18pm Little Danny: Involuntary sympathetic reaction over here.
	9:19pm Flash Strap: god i love it too
	🥁 9:19pm chresti: Haha
	9:19pm StringOFperils: Crazy chimpanzees
	9:20pm Little Danny: I picture you and Franco cutting a laughing record, Chresti.
	9:20pm Flash Strap: @NGH: that was a hell of a haul man
	9:21pm Flash Strap: hi SoP!
	9:22pm TDK60: I didn't know laughing records were a thing-- before my time.
	9:23pm Flash Strap: that canary compilation is a pretty good rundown of a lot of great laughing records
	9:24pm Little Danny: I had a vague awareness that laughing records existed but was really only familiar with "Delicious" which would be the form's postwar apotheosis I would guess.
	9:26pm Flash Strap: i love this fwiw: canary-records.bandcamp.com...
	🥁 9:27pm chresti: I was just looking at that, Flash.
	🥁 9:29pm WR: Note: this Mingus isn't live in a club. Mingus just wanted to record it as if...
	9:29pm Flash Strap: it's just a delight, chresti
	9:30pm Flash Strap: @WR: it's like a warning to anyone who may hear the record and come to a show later, he's so funny and serious
	🥁 9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Is Eric Dolphy on here ?
	9:34pm Flash Strap: you know it
	🥁 9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pretty Out for 1961 if your name isn't Ornette.
	9:34pm Flash Strap: god so good
	🥁 9:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I always get this feeling that Out stuff is actually Roots stuff...
	🥁 9:36pm WR: img.discogs.com... OMG, there was a3 min. single release, oh to have played it on a juke box in a var or restaurant...
	9:36pm Flash Strap: yeah he just had them spontaneously follow him on bass while he kept changing up the patterns, ya gotta imagine it influenced Out to Lunch
	9:36pm Flash Strap: @WR: wow, that's a juke hit for sure
	9:37pm Little Danny: Wow, amazing drums here.
	9:37pm Flash Strap: @LD: seriously
	9:37pm Flash Strap: Dannie Richmond on drums
	🥁 9:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gotta figure - who could hang w/ Mingus even as just a dude - haha...
	9:39pm Little Danny: I know his name but know nothing about him. I always did a bit of an eyeroll when people describe drumming as melodic but this is, in fact, some melodic drumming.
	9:40pm spodiodi: greetings, Flash and Explorers!
	9:40pm Flash Strap: hi spodiodi!
	🥁 9:40pm WR: Rev Rab Nov63, much truth to that, you let the spirit, take you. Kidd Jordan says he is always going for the Haleluah feeling.
	9:41pm Flash Strap: this one's thanks to LD
	9:42pm Little Danny: Oh yes! Awesome!
	9:43pm Flash Strap: been trying to do a proper dig into the rest of the ghost box catalog, a little daunting
	🥁 9:43pm chresti: Nice avatar spodi\\//
	9:46pm spodiodi: thanks, chresti \\// (it's Flip The Frog (in Fire, Fire (or a similar title)) inspired by Codger's show today
	9:47pm Little Danny: @Flash: Some of it's a bit '60s-70s retro-UK-bleepy-bloopy for my tastes, but that's me. The Focus Group is my favorite of the Ghost Box artists, though.
	9:49pm Little Danny: Gotta go start doing my stretches, but thanks another great show tonight, Evan! Always totally inspired by your selectory.
	9:49pm Flash Strap: yeah i like all the focus group stuff i've heard, sounds "authentic" in its aims & executions, rather than some more twee reenactment you'll find there at its worst... but there's some other stuff that's intrigued me greatly
	9:49pm Flash Strap: looking very much forward to the blue flame tonight brother
	9:50pm Flash Strap: I was I am I am to come I was I am I am to come I was I am
	9:50pm HyperDose: I wonder how early LD wakes up to start cranking the Flame-O-Scope and load all the slides?
	9:50pm Little Danny: Close your eyes and let your ears guide you to your next stop: wfmu.org... Hope to see y'all there!
	9:51pm Asheville Jon: Thanks for the lyrics. I was wondering if she was saying she had to cut her horse
	9:51pm Little Danny: @HD: That's what my poorly paid staff of film students is for!
	🥁 9:55pm Aitch: Flame-O-Scope should be banned due to negative productivity impacts.
	9:56pm TDK60: Thanks for the show, Flash.
	🥁 9:57pm chresti: Thanks Flash Strap!
	🥁 9:57pm Aitch: This show always fascinating
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Excellent as always Evan Thanks!
	9:58pm HyperDose: @Aitch Seriously, the camera guy could lend a hand on the assembly line! Thanks Flash! Always an adventure!
	🥁 9:58pm WR: Thank you Evan, marvelous program. Laters all.
	9:58pm Flash Strap: Thanks all! love to fascinate
	9:59pm Flash Strap: night night
	🥁 9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thanks so much !
	9:59pm spodiodi: thanks, Flash!
	10:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks!
	10:10pm Scott67: Thanks Flash!✌😎🌏
