	7:13pm marpay: all my muscles are melting - AAAHHHHHH
	7:15pm Flash Strap: yeah this whole Byrd of Paradise record is uncommonly sumptuous
	7:15pm coelacanth∅: < (don't let that guy hear this)
	7:16pm Doug Schulkind: @Flash Here's to 300,000 more, my friend!
	7:17pm coelacanth∅: (although maybe it'd relax the snake and the tiger so he could get out of that situation...)
	7:17pm Flash Strap: that guy's so screwed
	7:18pm Flash Strap: @doug: may it be so!
	7:18pm coelacanth∅: ... a bit!
	7:18pm Flash Strap: not a lot of fanfare about this for some reason but some great Faust stuff got released this year
	🥁 7:19pm WR: It's been great to be a fellow traveler along this stream and I think we've learned more than we know.
	7:20pm Andres: My interpretation. It may seem like paradise until pythons, tigers and trains get involved.
	7:21pm Flash Strap: I believe you must be correct WR, I feel we're all wiser in enigmatic ways
	🥁 7:22pm WR: That painting reminds me of my job. I called in sick today. Sick of my job.
	7:22pm Flash Strap: Andres: possibly too, the formidable terrors of an underestimated paradise are ultimately dwarfed by these manmade dooms
	7:23pm Andres: You said it much more elegantly, Evan! :)
	7:24pm Flash Strap: @WR: that is your healthy body reacting to poison
	7:25pm Flash Strap: the god Yusef Lateef always so exquisite when he graces us with exotica
	7:28pm spodiodi: aloha, Flash and Explorers! Happy 300!
	7:28pm spodiodi: WR @722, i hear you! :)
	7:29pm Flash Strap: Hi Spodi!
	7:29pm doctorjazz: Yusef Lateef, nice (expected to see Doug poop out...)
	7:29pm doctorjazz: *pop out...
	7:30pm Flash Strap: Doug never poops out, he's indefecatigable
	7:30pm Doug Schulkind: Oh boy am I pooping.
	7:32pm Flash Strap: hehe
	🥁 7:32pm chresti: WR, or "I'm sick today, there's something wrong with my eyes, I can't see coming in"
	7:33pm doctorjazz: I'm just here for comic relief, thank you, thank you, you've been a wonderful audience!
	🥁 7:35pm Aitch: a pop song?
	7:36pm marpay: YAY for Monkees♥
	7:36pm Franco Twinkie: Flash, Keep the Monkkeefest in the air as long as possible!
	7:36pm Flash Strap: Hi Franco!
	🥁 7:37pm chresti: Happy 300, Flash! Hi Xplorers!
	7:37pm doctorjazz: Lateef to The Monkees, only on The Drummer Stream!
	7:38pm Flash Strap: Free Form is the name of the game
	7:47pm coelacanth∅: olá spodiodi
	7:48pm coelacanth∅: Franco, chresti
	7:49pm coelacanth∅: oh man i didn't hear about Robbie "Basspear" ...rest in peace
	7:51pm Flash Strap: @C: indeed. we'll never again see his equal
	7:51pm coelacanth∅: is it because i'm black?
	7:52pm coelacanth∅: great version! new one on me
	7:52pm Flash Strap: @C: yes, good call
	🥁 7:53pm WR: Have to drop for tonight. Will catch the rest from the archive. Laters Evan and all Drummer stream Explorers.
	7:53pm HyperDose: Was in the shower. Late hello back to you marpay! Congrats on 300 shows, Evan. Quite the accomplishment =]
	7:53pm coelacanth∅: 'night WR
	7:54pm Flash Strap: Have a splendid night WR! thanks for hanging out
	7:55pm Flash Strap: incredible harmonies on this Abyssinians, so deep and sweet
	7:56pm coelacanth∅: it's beautiful. sounds like a great copy too
	7:56pm doctorjazz: Good night, WR!
	7:57pm headcleaner: this jack ruby guy gets around
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Big workout on the Rockfort Rock riddim here. With "Brother Shakespeare, we call him Robbie"
	7:57pm Little Danny: hello evan hello all!
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Hi headcleaner!
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Hi LD!
	7:59pm Little Danny: whoa, and congrats too!
	8:00pm Flash Strap: thanks brother! you're gettin' up there yourself
	8:00pm coelacanth∅: early early in my learning about reggae i saw credits on an album -not sure which now maybe black uhuru red? - Robbie Basspear and Sly Drumbar but neither stuck, i guess!
	🥁 8:01pm jaywbabcock: The drum pattern on this Jack Ruby track is sensational
	8:01pm Flash Strap: they both got credited under so many names, and often not at all too
	8:02pm doctorjazz: Hadn't noticed that Big 300!!! Congrats!
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Hi Jay! I can't remember who Jack said was on drums, I think it's Horsemouth. I agree it's sensational
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Thanks Doctor!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: god it's just such a SESSION with all the boys – I really wanted to play this during my Rockfort Rock / Cumbachero special but I had to cut it
	8:04pm Flash Strap: up next, a 6-year old girl
	8:05pm Flash Strap: great singer with a killer conjunto
	8:05pm Andres: ¡Cumbia!
	8:06pm Andres: For real? 6?! Wow!
	8:07pm HyperDose: This is phenomenal cumbia
	8:08pm Flash Strap: it would be super cool to hear even if she wasn't, but she really is a great singer. she really delivers the goods. and the band is top notch
	8:09pm Flash Strap: from the Chambacú neighborhood in Colombia
	8:09pm coelacanth∅: wow! ...i want to hear hear after her voice changed!
	8:09pm Flash Strap: awesome slide guitar on Puya Tropicana
	8:09pm coelacanth∅: (as well, that is)
	8:10pm Flash Strap: I wish she'd kept recording! or maybe she did, i don't know for sure
	8:12pm Flash Strap: god that yodel is heavenly
	8:13pm HyperDose: Ah yes, this is the track Staysh played. Knew this girl sounded familiar. Sooo good
	8:13pm Andres: From an article about this release and Aurita: “Our search ended in nothing, just like yours. We were left with many questions.”
	8:14pm doctorjazz: Early night, light in the office, going to head out, thanks, Flash!
	8:14pm HyperDose: Take care doctorjazz!
	8:14pm Flash Strap: Adios and fare thee well dear Doctor
	8:16pm Andres: Meridian Brothers are gold!!
	8:16pm still b/p: I might've been singing along at home with Don't Let The Rain Come Down when I was six....but I didn't have Aurita chops.
	8:17pm Flash Strap: Hi B/P!
	8:18pm still b/p: Are you shirtless with mad abs for this show, like Gerard Butler and his crew in "300?"
	🥁 8:18pm chresti: Yeah. Heard Aurita Castillo a few times in the past couple weeks, it's great! Maybe on Trans Pacific Sound Paradise. first?
	8:19pm Flash Strap: @b/p: i look better actually. shirt stays on cause i'm humble
	8:20pm Flash Strap: @chresti: I can see that you did! you favorited it on TPSP
	🥁 8:20pm chresti: I was singing 'Spoonful of Sugar' when I was 5 or 6.
	8:21pm Flash Strap: god it's great to hear new romperayo. I need to catch up with their various singles of the last year
	🥁 8:22pm chresti: Me too
	8:25pm still b/p: Oh, yes, a good dose of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" was in the air and in the house. And "Chim Chim Cheree," of course, and from the cereal box came a wee little spring-loaded chimney from which a Dick Van Dyke-like figure came poppin'(!) up .
	8:28pm Flash Strap: new Henri Salvador comp has me deep in a Henri Salvador hole recently. Delightful
	🥁 8:28pm chresti: sb/p, NO WAY! Why didn't I have a spring-loaded chiminey?! I sang all the songs.
	8:29pm still b/p: I just had the 1922 OKeh Laughing Record playing under that last one....just for you-know-whats.
	8:30pm Flash Strap: I was obsessed with the chimney sweep song as a child, and utterly transfixed by Feed The Birds
	8:31pm Flash Strap: @b/p: have you heard that Canary Records compilation of Laughing Records? it's tremendous
	8:34pm still b/p: No, I haven't. Something like that could've been BIG trouble on certain evenings under certain conditions when I was a yoot. chresti -- here's the dude and the rig. I thought it was even smaller than the measurements given. www.timepassagesnostalgia.com...
	8:35pm Flash Strap: @b/p: canary-records.bandcamp.com...
	8:39pm Flash Strap: Shadow was very prolific, generally good but not always great, but this little pocket of his output was pure pure gold
	🥁 8:40pm chresti: still b/p, I see it was in rice and wheat honeys, we were a wheaties and wheat chex household.
	🥁 8:41pm chresti: I wonder how much it went for, still b/p
	8:41pm Flash Strap: Love everything Lancelot did, basically. a true maestro
	8:44pm coelacanth∅: rice and wheat honeys? never heard of that cereal - curious too how much that sold for. i used to save stuff like that for posterity but threw it all out (gave some stuff away, sold a few things) when i decided to live traveling in my car -which i ended up not doing anyway.
	8:49pm still b/p: Just downloaded the Spike Jones and City Slickers laughing record entry. Kick up the Christmas gathering. Nice organ licks in Umbawa. Someone asked me if I liked the organ the other night, and I tried to explain how -- in band performance and recordings, as opposed to classical or church blastings, which I can take only in modest doses -- in the right tracks played by the right hands it's so freakin' good and happy and right and important to brain appreciation-wiring. I don't remember the Rice Honeys mentioned on the site.. I'd thought the prize might've come out of Rice Krinkles...with its most unfortunate branding angle and caricature art.
	🥁 8:49pm chresti: Lovely set Flash, enjoying.
	🥁 8:50pm chresti: Haha
	🥁 8:52pm chresti: We also had rice krispies, my mom would use the recipe for RKrispie squares.
	🥁 8:54pm chresti: My older brother liked the sports related prizes that came in Wheaties
	8:56pm coelacanth∅: rice krinkles. that packaging...did it go from really bad to worse, or from worse to really bad?
	8:57pm spodiodi: thanks, Flash!
	8:57pm spodiodi: whoops. one more hour, sorry! (head in my machine)
	8:58pm still b/p: Mom and sisters made the Rice Krispies squares with the marshmallow in 'em, but I waited for the too-occasional true bliss of the other Rice Krispies recipe: Chocolate Scotcheroos....ohhhhh, damn! Good! Of course, nobody -- in regular white America anyway -- cared about the Krinkles caricaturing in the day. Amazing how that sorta stuff was so alllll over the place.
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: do scotcheroos have scotch in them?
	9:02pm coelacanth∅: oh i see. why is butterscotch rare now? is it because fake butterscotch tastes like shit and nobody's willing to make it right?
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: and a good blondie is apparently an endangered species as well -if not extinct.
	9:04pm Flash Strap: @b/p: love all things Spike! totally agree about the organ; some great organ drones on this Egisto Macchi imo
	9:04pm Flash Strap: No prob Spodi! stick around!
	9:08pm Flash Strap: such a cool record, this Folkways psych: img.discogs.com...
	🥁 9:10pm chresti: stil b/p, the Kellogs and Nabisco dynasty feeding the jr.boomers and boomettes
	9:14pm still b/p: They got a LOTTA our big family's money across a couple decades. The playlist pic reminds me of the Tipu's Tiger full background story I heard just the other day. No train or snake threat, but still an artistic rendering of a tough day, with sound.
	9:15pm doctorjazz: Just got home, love this Kupka!
	9:16pm Flash Strap: Kupka's one of my very favorite "new age" guys Doc! an undersung great
	9:17pm Flash Strap: @b/p: Tipu's Tiger is so cool
	9:17pm doctorjazz: Sounds a bit like Rahsaan Kirk's nose flute...
	🥁 9:18pm chresti: One of these for $247.19!
	9:19pm Flash Strap: @chresti: ugh i know
	9:20pm Flash Strap: it's my favorite Kupka, very exotic and percussive. though Clouds is essential new age imo
	9:21pm Flash Strap: very similar to certain Brazilian batucada
	9:22pm doctorjazz: There's that nose flute sound again...
	9:22pm Little Danny: the percussion is recorded so well here
	9:24pm zzz: kupka percussion jam/composition was amazing.
	9:24pm Flash Strap: Hi ZZZ! yeah man I loooove that piece
	9:24pm Little Danny: this is excellent
	9:25pm Little Danny: exotica never really went away did it
	9:26pm Flash Strap: exotica is eternal
	9:26pm Little Danny: indeed
	9:27pm Little Danny: wow!
	9:28pm Flash Strap: This Eddie Suzuki just got reissued on Aloha Got Soul this year
	9:29pm Little Danny: it's perfect
	9:29pm Flash Strap: so's the boilerplate cover, just a perfecy slice of time: img.discogs.com...
	9:30pm Scott67: This is wicked! 😎🤙🍍🌺🌴🌊
	9:30pm Flash Strap: *perfect i mean
	🥁 9:30pm chresti: It reminds me of a song that Nico sang, part of it.
	🥁 9:31pm chresti: @High Tide
	9:32pm Flash Strap: never been the biggest Animals fan but there's some incredible production on this album
	🥁 9:33pm chresti: *Maybe Chelsea Girls?
	9:34pm Flash Strap: this recent Willie Dunn anthology has been blowing my mind, he's a master of a very high order
	9:38pm Little Danny: what a gorgeous melody
	9:39pm Little Danny: cosmic vibes
	9:39pm Flash Strap: i know, just soaring out over the pacific, across time, beyond the material
	9:43pm Scott67: Abide! 😎🤙
	9:45pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, this is your song!
	🥁 9:46pm Aitch: These Nez songs are lovely
	🥁 9:46pm chresti: I was just thinking that, Franco
	9:47pm Flash Strap: some really gorgeous stuff on those 70s albums
	9:48pm headcleaner: such a golden voice
	9:48pm Little Danny: franco, "tumbling tumbleweeds"? delighted for the association either way
	9:49pm Little Danny: oh yeah of course franco yes it is!
	9:50pm Franco Twinkie: I will never cast shade on The Monkees, but it had been underscored this week how Nezz had bigger fish to fry all along.
	9:51pm still b/p: Will reiterate here that the Nesmith obit on NPR said about the Monkees start, "Nesmith was the only one of his bandmates who had prior recording experience." Wrong-o.
	9:51pm Little Danny: kudos again on 300, here's to 20000 more! honored to be your neighbor
	9:52pm Hams: congratulations on that 300, flash. outstanding.
	9:53pm Franco Twinkie: Peter use to wash dishes at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach. Very soon he was on the stage of that historic folk club.
	9:54pm Scott67: Thanks Evan! Looking forward to 301 already! 🥂🍾😎🤙🍻🌈☀️🌏
	9:55pm HyperDose: Thanks Evan, always something new to discover here!
	9:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Flash! great show. congrats again on the 300! 👏👏👏
	9:56pm Franco Twinkie: Long distance runner you are Evan. Kudos!
	9:56pm zzz: thanks FS and congrats!
	🥁 9:56pm chresti: Thank you, Evan! Very nice celebration!
	9:57pm Little Danny: here's a link for everybody while i do my pre-gargle! wfmu.org... Hope y'all will join!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan!
	9:57pm Flash Strap: Hi Hams! thanks
	9:59pm Flash Strap: It's been such a pleasure all! See you the week after next. With bells on
	🥁 1:51pm Passaic River Blues: Although I am an almost exclusively archive-only listener, still wanted to pop in here well after the fact to say huzzah on 300 shows! It's difficult to fathom the amount of listening, reading, collating, collecting, and ruminating that goes into each show let alone 15 score! Here's hoping the Explorer's Room continues until every single exotica record ever released has been investigated, and then Evan goes by for another round.

Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from December 16, 2021

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.

	7:15pm Flash Strap: yeah this whole Byrd of Paradise record is uncommonly sumptuous
	7:15pm coelacanth∅: < (don't let that guy hear this)
	7:16pm Doug Schulkind: @Flash Here's to 300,000 more, my friend!
	7:17pm coelacanth∅: (although maybe it'd relax the snake and the tiger so he could get out of that situation...)
	7:17pm Flash Strap: that guy's so screwed
	7:18pm Flash Strap: @doug: may it be so!
	7:18pm coelacanth∅: ... a bit!
	7:18pm Flash Strap: not a lot of fanfare about this for some reason but some great Faust stuff got released this year
	🥁 7:19pm WR: It's been great to be a fellow traveler along this stream and I think we've learned more than we know.
	7:20pm Andres: My interpretation. It may seem like paradise until pythons, tigers and trains get involved.
	7:21pm Flash Strap: I believe you must be correct WR, I feel we're all wiser in enigmatic ways
	🥁 7:22pm WR: That painting reminds me of my job. I called in sick today. Sick of my job.
	7:22pm Flash Strap: Andres: possibly too, the formidable terrors of an underestimated paradise are ultimately dwarfed by these manmade dooms
	7:23pm Andres: You said it much more elegantly, Evan! :)
	7:24pm Flash Strap: @WR: that is your healthy body reacting to poison
	7:25pm Flash Strap: the god Yusef Lateef always so exquisite when he graces us with exotica
	7:28pm spodiodi: aloha, Flash and Explorers! Happy 300!
	7:28pm spodiodi: WR @722, i hear you! :)
	7:29pm Flash Strap: Hi Spodi!
	7:29pm doctorjazz: Yusef Lateef, nice (expected to see Doug poop out...)
	7:29pm doctorjazz: *pop out...
	7:30pm Flash Strap: Doug never poops out, he's indefecatigable
	7:30pm Doug Schulkind: Oh boy am I pooping.
	7:32pm Flash Strap: hehe
	🥁 7:32pm chresti: WR, or "I'm sick today, there's something wrong with my eyes, I can't see coming in"
	7:33pm doctorjazz: I'm just here for comic relief, thank you, thank you, you've been a wonderful audience!
	🥁 7:35pm Aitch: a pop song?
	7:36pm marpay: YAY for Monkees♥
	7:36pm Franco Twinkie: Flash, Keep the Monkkeefest in the air as long as possible!
	7:36pm Flash Strap: Hi Franco!
	🥁 7:37pm chresti: Happy 300, Flash! Hi Xplorers!

	7:47pm coelacanth∅: olá spodiodi
	7:48pm coelacanth∅: Franco, chresti
	7:49pm coelacanth∅: oh man i didn't hear about Robbie "Basspear" ...rest in peace
	7:51pm Flash Strap: @C: indeed. we'll never again see his equal
	7:51pm coelacanth∅: is it because i'm black?
	7:52pm coelacanth∅: great version! new one on me
	7:52pm Flash Strap: @C: yes, good call
	🥁 7:53pm WR: Have to drop for tonight. Will catch the rest from the archive. Laters Evan and all Drummer stream Explorers.

	7:53pm coelacanth∅: 'night WR
	7:54pm Flash Strap: Have a splendid night WR! thanks for hanging out

	7:56pm coelacanth∅: it's beautiful. sounds like a great copy too
	7:56pm doctorjazz: Good night, WR!
	7:57pm headcleaner: this jack ruby guy gets around
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Big workout on the Rockfort Rock riddim here. With "Brother Shakespeare, we call him Robbie"
	7:57pm Little Danny: hello evan hello all!
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Hi headcleaner!
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Hi LD!
	7:59pm Little Danny: whoa, and congrats too!
	8:00pm Flash Strap: thanks brother! you're gettin' up there yourself
	8:00pm coelacanth∅: early early in my learning about reggae i saw credits on an album -not sure which now maybe black uhuru red? - Robbie Basspear and Sly Drumbar but neither stuck, i guess!
	🥁 8:01pm jaywbabcock: The drum pattern on this Jack Ruby track is sensational
	8:01pm Flash Strap: they both got credited under so many names, and often not at all too
	8:02pm doctorjazz: Hadn't noticed that Big 300!!! Congrats!
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Hi Jay! I can't remember who Jack said was on drums, I think it's Horsemouth. I agree it's sensational
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Thanks Doctor!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: god it's just such a SESSION with all the boys – I really wanted to play this during my Rockfort Rock / Cumbachero special but I had to cut it
	8:04pm Flash Strap: up next, a 6-year old girl
	8:05pm Flash Strap: great singer with a killer conjunto
	8:05pm Andres: ¡Cumbia!
	8:06pm Andres: For real? 6?! Wow!
	8:07pm HyperDose: This is phenomenal cumbia
	8:08pm Flash Strap: it would be super cool to hear even if she wasn't, but she really is a great singer. she really delivers the goods. and the band is top notch
	8:09pm Flash Strap: from the Chambacú neighborhood in Colombia
	8:09pm coelacanth∅: wow! ...i want to hear hear after her voice changed!
	8:09pm Flash Strap: awesome slide guitar on Puya Tropicana
	8:09pm coelacanth∅: (as well, that is)
	8:10pm Flash Strap: I wish she'd kept recording! or maybe she did, i don't know for sure
	8:12pm Flash Strap: god that yodel is heavenly
	8:13pm HyperDose: Ah yes, this is the track Staysh played. Knew this girl sounded familiar. Sooo good
	8:13pm Andres: From an article about this release and Aurita: “Our search ended in nothing, just like yours. We were left with many questions.”
	8:14pm doctorjazz: Early night, light in the office, going to head out, thanks, Flash!
	8:14pm HyperDose: Take care doctorjazz!
	8:14pm Flash Strap: Adios and fare thee well dear Doctor
	8:16pm Andres: Meridian Brothers are gold!!
	8:16pm still b/p: I might've been singing along at home with Don't Let The Rain Come Down when I was six....but I didn't have Aurita chops.
	8:17pm Flash Strap: Hi B/P!
	8:18pm still b/p: Are you shirtless with mad abs for this show, like Gerard Butler and his crew in "300?"
	🥁 8:18pm chresti: Yeah. Heard Aurita Castillo a few times in the past couple weeks, it's great! Maybe on Trans Pacific Sound Paradise. first?
	8:19pm Flash Strap: @b/p: i look better actually. shirt stays on cause i'm humble
	8:20pm Flash Strap: @chresti: I can see that you did! you favorited it on TPSP
	🥁 8:20pm chresti: I was singing 'Spoonful of Sugar' when I was 5 or 6.
	8:21pm Flash Strap: god it's great to hear new romperayo. I need to catch up with their various singles of the last year
	🥁 8:22pm chresti: Me too
	8:25pm still b/p: Oh, yes, a good dose of "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" was in the air and in the house. And "Chim Chim Cheree," of course, and from the cereal box came a wee little spring-loaded chimney from which a Dick Van Dyke-like figure came poppin'(!) up .
	8:28pm Flash Strap: new Henri Salvador comp has me deep in a Henri Salvador hole recently. Delightful
	🥁 8:28pm chresti: sb/p, NO WAY! Why didn't I have a spring-loaded chiminey?! I sang all the songs.
	8:29pm still b/p: I just had the 1922 OKeh Laughing Record playing under that last one....just for you-know-whats.
	8:30pm Flash Strap: I was obsessed with the chimney sweep song as a child, and utterly transfixed by Feed The Birds
	8:31pm Flash Strap: @b/p: have you heard that Canary Records compilation of Laughing Records? it's tremendous
	8:34pm still b/p: No, I haven't. Something like that could've been BIG trouble on certain evenings under certain conditions when I was a yoot. chresti -- here's the dude and the rig. I thought it was even smaller than the measurements given. www.timepassagesnostalgia.com...
	8:35pm Flash Strap: @b/p: canary-records.bandcamp.com...
	8:39pm Flash Strap: Shadow was very prolific, generally good but not always great, but this little pocket of his output was pure pure gold
	🥁 8:40pm chresti: still b/p, I see it was in rice and wheat honeys, we were a wheaties and wheat chex household.
	🥁 8:41pm chresti: I wonder how much it went for, still b/p
	8:41pm Flash Strap: Love everything Lancelot did, basically. a true maestro
	8:44pm coelacanth∅: rice and wheat honeys? never heard of that cereal - curious too how much that sold for. i used to save stuff like that for posterity but threw it all out (gave some stuff away, sold a few things) when i decided to live traveling in my car -which i ended up not doing anyway.
	8:49pm still b/p: Just downloaded the Spike Jones and City Slickers laughing record entry. Kick up the Christmas gathering. Nice organ licks in Umbawa. Someone asked me if I liked the organ the other night, and I tried to explain how -- in band performance and recordings, as opposed to classical or church blastings, which I can take only in modest doses -- in the right tracks played by the right hands it's so freakin' good and happy and right and important to brain appreciation-wiring. I don't remember the Rice Honeys mentioned on the site.. I'd thought the prize might've come out of Rice Krinkles...with its most unfortunate branding angle and caricature art.
	🥁 8:49pm chresti: Lovely set Flash, enjoying.
	🥁 8:50pm chresti: Haha
	🥁 8:52pm chresti: We also had rice krispies, my mom would use the recipe for RKrispie squares.
	🥁 8:54pm chresti: My older brother liked the sports related prizes that came in Wheaties
	8:56pm coelacanth∅: rice krinkles. that packaging...did it go from really bad to worse, or from worse to really bad?
	8:57pm spodiodi: thanks, Flash!
	8:57pm spodiodi: whoops. one more hour, sorry! (head in my machine)
	8:58pm still b/p: Mom and sisters made the Rice Krispies squares with the marshmallow in 'em, but I waited for the too-occasional true bliss of the other Rice Krispies recipe: Chocolate Scotcheroos....ohhhhh, damn! Good! Of course, nobody -- in regular white America anyway -- cared about the Krinkles caricaturing in the day. Amazing how that sorta stuff was so alllll over the place.
	9:00pm coelacanth∅: do scotcheroos have scotch in them?
	9:02pm coelacanth∅: oh i see. why is butterscotch rare now? is it because fake butterscotch tastes like shit and nobody's willing to make it right?
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: and a good blondie is apparently an endangered species as well -if not extinct.
	9:04pm Flash Strap: @b/p: love all things Spike! totally agree about the organ; some great organ drones on this Egisto Macchi imo
	9:04pm Flash Strap: No prob Spodi! stick around!
	9:08pm Flash Strap: such a cool record, this Folkways psych: img.discogs.com...
	🥁 9:10pm chresti: stil b/p, the Kellogs and Nabisco dynasty feeding the jr.boomers and boomettes
	9:14pm still b/p: They got a LOTTA our big family's money across a couple decades. The playlist pic reminds me of the Tipu's Tiger full background story I heard just the other day. No train or snake threat, but still an artistic rendering of a tough day, with sound.
	9:15pm doctorjazz: Just got home, love this Kupka!
	9:16pm Flash Strap: Kupka's one of my very favorite "new age" guys Doc! an undersung great
	9:17pm Flash Strap: @b/p: Tipu's Tiger is so cool
	9:17pm doctorjazz: Sounds a bit like Rahsaan Kirk's nose flute...
	🥁 9:18pm chresti: One of these for $247.19!
	9:19pm Flash Strap: @chresti: ugh i know
	9:20pm Flash Strap: it's my favorite Kupka, very exotic and percussive. though Clouds is essential new age imo
	9:21pm Flash Strap: very similar to certain Brazilian batucada
	9:22pm doctorjazz: There's that nose flute sound again...
	9:22pm Little Danny: the percussion is recorded so well here
	9:24pm zzz: kupka percussion jam/composition was amazing.
	9:24pm Flash Strap: Hi ZZZ! yeah man I loooove that piece
	9:24pm Little Danny: this is excellent
	9:25pm Little Danny: exotica never really went away did it
	9:26pm Flash Strap: exotica is eternal
	9:26pm Little Danny: indeed
	9:27pm Little Danny: wow!
	9:28pm Flash Strap: This Eddie Suzuki just got reissued on Aloha Got Soul this year
	9:29pm Little Danny: it's perfect
	9:29pm Flash Strap: so's the boilerplate cover, just a perfecy slice of time: img.discogs.com...
	9:30pm Scott67: This is wicked! 😎🤙🍍🌺🌴🌊
	9:30pm Flash Strap: *perfect i mean
	🥁 9:30pm chresti: It reminds me of a song that Nico sang, part of it.
	🥁 9:31pm chresti: @High Tide
	9:32pm Flash Strap: never been the biggest Animals fan but there's some incredible production on this album
	🥁 9:33pm chresti: *Maybe Chelsea Girls?
	9:34pm Flash Strap: this recent Willie Dunn anthology has been blowing my mind, he's a master of a very high order
	9:38pm Little Danny: what a gorgeous melody
	9:39pm Little Danny: cosmic vibes
	9:39pm Flash Strap: i know, just soaring out over the pacific, across time, beyond the material
	9:43pm Scott67: Abide! 😎🤙
	9:45pm Franco Twinkie: Danny, this is your song!
	🥁 9:46pm Aitch: These Nez songs are lovely
	🥁 9:46pm chresti: I was just thinking that, Franco
	9:47pm Flash Strap: some really gorgeous stuff on those 70s albums
	9:48pm headcleaner: such a golden voice
	9:48pm Little Danny: franco, "tumbling tumbleweeds"? delighted for the association either way
	9:49pm Little Danny: oh yeah of course franco yes it is!
	9:50pm Franco Twinkie: I will never cast shade on The Monkees, but it had been underscored this week how Nezz had bigger fish to fry all along.
	9:51pm still b/p: Will reiterate here that the Nesmith obit on NPR said about the Monkees start, "Nesmith was the only one of his bandmates who had prior recording experience." Wrong-o.
	9:51pm Little Danny: kudos again on 300, here's to 20000 more! honored to be your neighbor
	9:52pm Hams: congratulations on that 300, flash. outstanding.
	9:53pm Franco Twinkie: Peter use to wash dishes at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach. Very soon he was on the stage of that historic folk club.
	9:54pm Scott67: Thanks Evan! Looking forward to 301 already! 🥂🍾😎🤙🍻🌈☀️🌏
	9:55pm HyperDose: Thanks Evan, always something new to discover here!
	9:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Flash! great show. congrats again on the 300! 👏👏👏
	9:56pm Franco Twinkie: Long distance runner you are Evan. Kudos!
	9:56pm zzz: thanks FS and congrats!
	🥁 9:56pm chresti: Thank you, Evan! Very nice celebration!
	9:57pm Little Danny: here's a link for everybody while i do my pre-gargle! wfmu.org... Hope y'all will join!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan!
	9:57pm Flash Strap: Hi Hams! thanks
	9:59pm Flash Strap: It's been such a pleasure all! See you the week after next. With bells on
	🥁 1:51pm Passaic River Blues: Although I am an almost exclusively archive-only listener, still wanted to pop in here well after the fact to say huzzah on 300 shows! It's difficult to fathom the amount of listening, reading, collating, collecting, and ruminating that goes into each show let alone 15 score! Here's hoping the Explorer's Room continues until every single exotica record ever released has been investigated, and then Evan goes by for another round.
