	7:06pm Flash Strap: Hi SoP! Aitch!
	🥁 7:08pm chresti: Hi Flash and roomers!
	7:08pm Flash Strap: Hi Chresti! great to see you
	7:11pm Flash Strap: much more of a "conventional" musique concrète sound from Lundsten here than you find in his later records, which tend to be composed for much more specialized & personal synths and thus sound more deeply Lundsten-esque, but a lot of his classic moves are already in full effect here.
	7:13pm Flash Strap: The album's b-side, Kalejdoskop, which I played during the Explorers Room Lundsten special (wfmu.org...) is one of my favorite of his pieces, in fact. a great early release from the maestro
	7:15pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan, Explorers
	7:16pm Anon: Hello, all.
	7:16pm Flash Strap: I know less about Leo Nilson & what he's bringing to the mix, I've heard several things of his but all in collaboration with Lundsten
	7:17pm Flash Strap: Hello Coelacanth! Aloha Anon!
	🥁 7:17pm Mantarray: heya explorers, flash!
	7:17pm Flash Strap: hey there Mantarray!
	7:20pm Flash Strap: send help, i can't stop listening to Lard Free
	7:21pm Anon: I feel like I've heard this before, but I've no idea where.
	🥁 7:21pm chresti: I can hear why, Flash
	7:23pm Flash Strap: @Anon: I had a similar experience with this actually, I was listening to it for the "first time" and felt like I'd heard it 100 times and had in fact had a phase of listening to it a lot – turns out, I did! It was also released as a library record, for the April Orchestra series. I hadn't really connected the dots
	7:23pm coelacanth∅: Thank you king crimson for pointing the way
	7:25pm Scott67: G'day Evan & Explorers! 🌏☀️🔭😎🤙☕
	🥁 7:26pm chresti: i.discogs.com... Lard Free cover
	7:26pm coelacanth∅: aloha Scott
	7:27pm Flash Strap: @chresti: such a kooky cover
	7:29pm Flash Strap: This Joe Gibbs is so so beautiful
	7:29pm Scott67: G'day coel. ☕😎🤙💨🍺
	7:31pm coelacanth∅: in 1975 being lard free was a challenge. most packaged baked goods and all fast-food french fries had lard. and many other foods.
	🥁 7:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Hallo ! ...been listening out after the farmers' market & stuff. GoodEvening.
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Hi Rev!
	7:40pm Scott67: The Queen is dead. Long live the.. oh dear.
	7:41pm StringOFperils: The future is unwritten.
	7:42pm Flash Strap: oh, belated and very warm hello to you Scott!
	7:43pm Flash Strap: Dick Hyman on this Like Tweet
	7:45pm Anon: Regarding Like Tweet: I'm kind of/sort of reminded of The Cambrian Explosion on Bandcamp.
	7:47pm Flash Strap: oddly (or not), it was someone from Cambrian Explosion who introduced me to this Don Burrows record
	7:48pm Anon: I've been crate digging through Urban Bowerbird's old blog for gems. So I'm not surprised; it's all connected.
	7:48pm Flash Strap: all I know about Australian jazz, beyond Sven Libaek anyway, I owe to Urban Bowerbird
	🥁 7:49pm Aitch: Saw Don Burroughs and crew a few times as a kid, dad a madly good hobby classical guitarist. Julien Bream, John Williams etc
	7:49pm Flash Strap: @Anon: if you've not heard his solo project Bronzewing I definitely recommend
	7:51pm Anon: Yup, agreed. Bronzewing is fantastic.
	7:52pm Flash Strap: this lovely, really exciting Jerzy Milian album deserves a lot more love imo
	7:52pm Flash Strap: come to think of it, I need to look into his other records and come back to you with more treasures
	7:53pm Scott67: Saw Don Burrows Quartet at that Sydney venue with the mezzanine balcony around the room. What's that place again Aitch?
	7:54pm Flash Strap: Sambrasa Trio: Airto Moreira, Hermeto Pascoal, Humberto Clayber. What a trio, just a staggering lineup
	7:54pm Flash Strap: So cool you guys saw Burrows!
	🥁 7:55pm Aitch: Could be lots S67. The cool place was The Basement, high brow place at the Conservatorium just up the road was me then as kid.
	7:57pm Doug Schulkind: Good evening, elegant Explorers!
	7:59pm Flash Strap: Ah hello Doug! Always a joy to have some Arnie Lawrence already playing for you when you walk in
	🥁 7:59pm Aitch: My dad would have so loved your show Evan. He left last year, thought Beatles were the death of real music
	7:59pm Little Danny: dang i played this arnie lawrence last week once again flash we are breathing the same air
	8:00pm Little Danny: absolutely glorious set btw
	🥁 8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yer hittin' all the Basses tonight FlashStrap...
	8:01pm Flash Strap: @LD: you are kidding me! I mustve been zonked by then
	8:01pm Flash Strap: @Aitch: you honor me
	8:03pm Flash Strap: If I'm making the same picks as Little Danny then I'm breathing sanctified air and no mistake
	8:03pm Little Danny: i know, i love it :)
	8:03pm Little Danny: lol thanks evan ❤️️
	8:04pm Little Danny: dang this is hard
	8:05pm Flash Strap: Hans Dulfer has 3 records that I simply could not live without - Candy Clouds is probably the best but with each passing year this one proves its unstoppable power, it's become my favorite I think
	8:09pm Flash Strap: there are some very cool, slinky sort of out-grooves on this Phil Yost – I've probably played them on the show in the past – but I recently became quite captivated by this eerie abstraction that we're hearing now. one hell of a record from a primo oddball
	8:14pm Little Danny: wow, i love this
	🥁 8:15pm Mantarray: eerie in a hypnotic way it feels like.
	8:16pm Flash Strap: whole record's a dream. Until recently it was the only one of his I'd ever heard of, which I'm trying to change. He did a 2nd LP for Takoma that I've only lightly heard, and a third one elsewhere that I've not heard at all
	8:16pm Doug Schulkind: Blessings to you and your family, Aitch.
	8:16pm doctorjazz: Hi! Turned on the radio,wife immediately got up and left the room...
	8:17pm doctorjazz: Oh well...I like it.
	8:18pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc! maybe she'll enjoy the next track, if she comes back
	8:18pm Doug Schulkind: I LOVE the two Phil Yost LPs I have. Did I just see that a new collection is being released?
	8:19pm Flash Strap: news to me! good news
	8:22pm Flash Strap: what do you have Doug?
	8:25pm doctorjazz: She won't come down (told her coast was clear...)
	🥁 8:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: True love of HardBop coming thru.
	8:27pm Flash Strap: this Helge Hurum recorded for radio, 1975 at NRK studios
	8:28pm Little Danny: thanks doug for pointing out aitch's last comment, damn that's a deepie
	8:32pm Flash Strap: @LD, Aitch: indeed. all love to you and yours, dear friend
	8:33pm doctorjazz: Cool flauting! (Echo's of Rahsaan)
	8:33pm Flash Strap: @doc: i thought so too!
	8:34pm Flash Strap: no one can do it like him but I love to hear it any way it comes
	🥁 8:34pm WR: Check-in from I-70 in Illinois, on the way back to NYC.
	8:34pm Flash Strap: Hey WR! safe travels
	8:34pm Scott67: It was The Basement Aitch, Was gunna say it, but needed confirmation. So many "Basements" about. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:39pm zzz: hey Flash strap and folks!
	8:39pm Flash Strap: Hey ZZZ!
	8:40pm zzz: a little more kick on this JG3 than i’m used to hearing
	8:41pm Dean: What? No Sex Pistols?
	8:41pm doctorjazz: and hello to you too,Dean!
	8:43pm Ike: Golly, did you just go out for a few seconds there?
	🥁 8:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stream troubles. Some Billy like WoodyGuthrie cutting in a couple times on the robostream...
	8:44pm doctorjazz: Twice, old timey country broke through.
	🥁 8:45pm WR: good y'all heard that too. I was wondering if the truckers CB was breaking into my phone.
	8:46pm Dean: Hi, doctorjazz. I am in the enviable position of being alone at home! One kid's at a football game, and the wife and daughter are heading to the Imaginary Dragons concert in Mountain View. I'm all ears.
	8:46pm Little Danny: likewise thanks evan !!! ❤️️❤️️❤️️
	8:47pm Little Danny: stay right where you are dean
	8:50pm doctorjazz: Imagine Dragons imagining Imaginary Dragons...
	8:50pm Dean: I will, Little Danny. But OT, can I just point out that James Taylor's "Her Town Too" (with J.D. Souther and Waddy Wachtel) is pretty fabulous? Sklar is the most tasteful bass player, isn't he?
	8:52pm doctorjazz: Went with my daughter a few weeks ago to see Simple Plan and Sum 41, similar type outing (she might have caught her COVID there).
	8:52pm Flash Strap: sorry about the dropouts and thanks for hanging in there!
	8:53pm Flash Strap: Hi Ike! Hi Dean
	8:53pm Dean: Yeah, I'm fretful about the COVID stuff, but they'll be seated on the lawn, less regimented than assigned seats.
	8:55pm Flash Strap: a lot of these riddims I know best from Trinity's toasts on them from Three Piece Suit – that LP being maybe Joe Gibb's best production work imo
	8:55pm zzz: dub set 🚨 prince far i, back weh off III?? amazingly gnarly but the whole record is a trip, looking forward to what will be the selection
	8:57pm doctorjazz: I'm not sure if that's where she caught it, (impossible to know for sure), but it was an outdoor concert, on a roof at the South Side Seaport in Manhattan, fairly crowded, but we stood at the back where it wasn't so packed. I didn't catch it, either at the concert, or at home from her (she's been masking and isolating). She never got terribly ill, sore throat for 4 days, not severe, no fevers or other symptoms.
	8:57pm Flash Strap: Back Weh is a top cut off III but I played it sort of recently so I ruled it out tonight. still not the craziest cut in my opinion!
	8:58pm Flash Strap: this track is spelled a different way every time you see it, back cover, labels, later reissues: Marrigunna, Maringuana
	9:03pm Flash Strap: Chapter 3 is really top-shelf next-level dub, amazing stuff
	9:03pm zzz: huge.
	9:03pm zzz: the cymbal crash all ways gets me
	🥁 9:04pm Aitch: Chapter 3 a ripper
	🥁 9:04pm Mantarray: sick cover on Chapter II
	9:05pm Flash Strap: all-time great
	9:05pm Flash Strap: @manta: seriously!
	9:06pm Flash Strap: it's a great drawing, I love his ears
	🥁 9:07pm Aitch: what my ex looks like if you put on the They Live sunglasses
	9:07pm Flash Strap: it's just so populated with extra strangeness, things coming and going from the margins, echo making really unruly rhythmic distortions and devastating double-times. dynamite
	9:09pm zzz: dub just sounds better on the explorers room
	9:09pm Flash Strap: impossible for me to hear this riddim and not mentally launch into Trinity's toast on John Saw Them Coming
	9:09pm Little Danny: 10000% agreed zzz
	9:12pm Flash Strap: really like Chapter 4's cover as well
	9:13pm doctorjazz: Melodica versus trombone, cool!
	🥁 9:13pm WR: love that trombone
	9:23pm Flash Strap: now we start a new chapter & book
	🥁 9:24pm Aitch: this is very nice
	9:25pm zzz: headphones on for the cry tuff…
	🥁 9:26pm chresti: same
	9:27pm Flash Strap: Hitrun = Adrian Sherwood's label, I believe this is his mix but I don't believe he's credited. Far I has the producer credit on all these records.
	9:28pm Flash Strap: Prince Jammy mixing on this one
	🥁 9:29pm Aitch: Make sense listening to it
	9:31pm zzz: loving that little synthy part, unexpected
	9:32pm Flash Strap: mixes on Chapter III credited to Dub Syndicate but understood to be an uncredited Sherwood. all dub mixes of Far I's Jamaican Heroes album
	9:33pm zzz: voice of thunder. fierce!!
	9:34pm Flash Strap: Plant Up blows my mind, not just because the vocal effect is incredibly deeply weird, but it also has a unique structure: first it dubs the vocal in this minimal way, then it starts the track over dubs the riddim maximally
	9:39pm Mr. Jackpots: this is crazy dub
	9:39pm Flash Strap: Hey hey Mr. Jackpots!!
	9:40pm Mr. Jackpots: Hey! Your show looks awesome as usual
	9:40pm Flash Strap: why thank you Mr. Jackpots
	9:41pm Little Danny: Wow
	9:42pm Little Danny: This percussion ❤️
	9:42pm Flash Strap: it's so cool
	9:43pm Flash Strap: zzz is right, Back Weh is so good, it was very hard to not play it tonight. but it's so good to jam Conquest like this
	9:45pm doctorjazz: Gotta take off, thanks Flash!
	9:45pm Flash Strap: godspeed Doc!
	🥁 9:45pm chresti: I like the skanky dubs
	🥁 9:46pm Mantarray: crazy, heavy sax. so great.
	9:47pm Flash Strap: Deadly Headly on sax no doubt
	9:49pm Flash Strap: not at all planned but that Entebbe Affair made me have to play this
	9:53pm zzz: so good, everything here. thanks FS!
	9:55pm Little Danny: deepest show as ever, flash, thank you!!!
	🥁 9:56pm Mantarray: thanks Flash! radical dubs indeed, and a great show!
	9:56pm Little Danny: excessive listening ahoy: wfmu.org... please join us!!!l
	9:56pm neveract: Thanks Flash!
	🥁 9:58pm chresti: Thanks Flash! Yay arb! Yay cha cha heels!
	9:58pm Scott67: Thanks Evan, a nice chill blend today mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌻
	🥁 9:58pm Aitch: Mind suitably expanded, thanks for show, just marvellous
	🥁 9:58pm chresti: Hi neveract!
	🥁 9:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ FS ~
	9:59pm Mxter Baba: hey there, Flash and folx!
	9:59pm Flash Strap: Thank YOU all for listening, I'm a lucky explorer when I travel with your ears beside me
	🥁 9:59pm chresti: man this bed music!
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan!
	🥁 10:00pm WR: Thank you Evan. My son & I both really enjoyed the dub set!

	8:03pm Little Danny: i know, i love it :)
	8:03pm Little Danny: lol thanks evan ❤️️
	8:04pm Little Danny: dang this is hard
	8:05pm Flash Strap: Hans Dulfer has 3 records that I simply could not live without - Candy Clouds is probably the best but with each passing year this one proves its unstoppable power, it's become my favorite I think
	8:09pm Flash Strap: there are some very cool, slinky sort of out-grooves on this Phil Yost – I've probably played them on the show in the past – but I recently became quite captivated by this eerie abstraction that we're hearing now. one hell of a record from a primo oddball
	8:14pm Little Danny: wow, i love this
	🥁 8:15pm Mantarray: eerie in a hypnotic way it feels like.
	8:16pm Flash Strap: whole record's a dream. Until recently it was the only one of his I'd ever heard of, which I'm trying to change. He did a 2nd LP for Takoma that I've only lightly heard, and a third one elsewhere that I've not heard at all
	8:16pm Doug Schulkind: Blessings to you and your family, Aitch.
	8:16pm doctorjazz: Hi! Turned on the radio,wife immediately got up and left the room...
	8:17pm doctorjazz: Oh well...I like it.
	8:18pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc! maybe she'll enjoy the next track, if she comes back
	8:18pm Doug Schulkind: I LOVE the two Phil Yost LPs I have. Did I just see that a new collection is being released?
	8:19pm Flash Strap: news to me! good news
	8:22pm Flash Strap: what do you have Doug?
	8:25pm doctorjazz: She won't come down (told her coast was clear...)
	🥁 8:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: True love of HardBop coming thru.
	8:27pm Flash Strap: this Helge Hurum recorded for radio, 1975 at NRK studios
	8:28pm Little Danny: thanks doug for pointing out aitch's last comment, damn that's a deepie
	8:32pm Flash Strap: @LD, Aitch: indeed. all love to you and yours, dear friend
	8:33pm doctorjazz: Cool flauting! (Echo's of Rahsaan)
	8:33pm Flash Strap: @doc: i thought so too!
	8:34pm Flash Strap: no one can do it like him but I love to hear it any way it comes
	🥁 8:34pm WR: Check-in from I-70 in Illinois, on the way back to NYC.
	8:34pm Flash Strap: Hey WR! safe travels
	8:34pm Scott67: It was The Basement Aitch, Was gunna say it, but needed confirmation. So many "Basements" about. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:39pm zzz: hey Flash strap and folks!
	8:39pm Flash Strap: Hey ZZZ!
	8:40pm zzz: a little more kick on this JG3 than i’m used to hearing
	8:41pm Dean: What? No Sex Pistols?
	8:41pm doctorjazz: and hello to you too,Dean!
	8:43pm Ike: Golly, did you just go out for a few seconds there?
	🥁 8:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stream troubles. Some Billy like WoodyGuthrie cutting in a couple times on the robostream...
	8:44pm doctorjazz: Twice, old timey country broke through.
	🥁 8:45pm WR: good y'all heard that too. I was wondering if the truckers CB was breaking into my phone.
	8:46pm Dean: Hi, doctorjazz. I am in the enviable position of being alone at home! One kid's at a football game, and the wife and daughter are heading to the Imaginary Dragons concert in Mountain View. I'm all ears.
	8:46pm Little Danny: likewise thanks evan !!! ❤️️❤️️❤️️
	8:47pm Little Danny: stay right where you are dean
	8:50pm doctorjazz: Imagine Dragons imagining Imaginary Dragons...
	8:50pm Dean: I will, Little Danny. But OT, can I just point out that James Taylor's "Her Town Too" (with J.D. Souther and Waddy Wachtel) is pretty fabulous? Sklar is the most tasteful bass player, isn't he?
	8:52pm doctorjazz: Went with my daughter a few weeks ago to see Simple Plan and Sum 41, similar type outing (she might have caught her COVID there).
	8:52pm Flash Strap: sorry about the dropouts and thanks for hanging in there!
	8:53pm Flash Strap: Hi Ike! Hi Dean
	8:53pm Dean: Yeah, I'm fretful about the COVID stuff, but they'll be seated on the lawn, less regimented than assigned seats.
	8:55pm Flash Strap: a lot of these riddims I know best from Trinity's toasts on them from Three Piece Suit – that LP being maybe Joe Gibb's best production work imo
	8:55pm zzz: dub set 🚨 prince far i, back weh off III?? amazingly gnarly but the whole record is a trip, looking forward to what will be the selection
	8:57pm doctorjazz: I'm not sure if that's where she caught it, (impossible to know for sure), but it was an outdoor concert, on a roof at the South Side Seaport in Manhattan, fairly crowded, but we stood at the back where it wasn't so packed. I didn't catch it, either at the concert, or at home from her (she's been masking and isolating). She never got terribly ill, sore throat for 4 days, not severe, no fevers or other symptoms.
	8:57pm Flash Strap: Back Weh is a top cut off III but I played it sort of recently so I ruled it out tonight. still not the craziest cut in my opinion!
	8:58pm Flash Strap: this track is spelled a different way every time you see it, back cover, labels, later reissues: Marrigunna, Maringuana
	9:03pm Flash Strap: Chapter 3 is really top-shelf next-level dub, amazing stuff
	9:03pm zzz: huge.
	9:03pm zzz: the cymbal crash all ways gets me
	🥁 9:04pm Aitch: Chapter 3 a ripper
	🥁 9:04pm Mantarray: sick cover on Chapter II
	9:05pm Flash Strap: all-time great
	9:05pm Flash Strap: @manta: seriously!
	9:06pm Flash Strap: it's a great drawing, I love his ears
	🥁 9:07pm Aitch: what my ex looks like if you put on the They Live sunglasses
	9:07pm Flash Strap: it's just so populated with extra strangeness, things coming and going from the margins, echo making really unruly rhythmic distortions and devastating double-times. dynamite
	9:09pm zzz: dub just sounds better on the explorers room
	9:09pm Flash Strap: impossible for me to hear this riddim and not mentally launch into Trinity's toast on John Saw Them Coming
	9:09pm Little Danny: 10000% agreed zzz
	9:12pm Flash Strap: really like Chapter 4's cover as well
	9:13pm doctorjazz: Melodica versus trombone, cool!
	🥁 9:13pm WR: love that trombone
	9:23pm Flash Strap: now we start a new chapter & book
	🥁 9:24pm Aitch: this is very nice
	9:25pm zzz: headphones on for the cry tuff…
	🥁 9:26pm chresti: same
	9:27pm Flash Strap: Hitrun = Adrian Sherwood's label, I believe this is his mix but I don't believe he's credited. Far I has the producer credit on all these records.
	9:28pm Flash Strap: Prince Jammy mixing on this one
	🥁 9:29pm Aitch: Make sense listening to it
	9:31pm zzz: loving that little synthy part, unexpected
	9:32pm Flash Strap: mixes on Chapter III credited to Dub Syndicate but understood to be an uncredited Sherwood. all dub mixes of Far I's Jamaican Heroes album
	9:33pm zzz: voice of thunder. fierce!!
	9:34pm Flash Strap: Plant Up blows my mind, not just because the vocal effect is incredibly deeply weird, but it also has a unique structure: first it dubs the vocal in this minimal way, then it starts the track over dubs the riddim maximally
	9:39pm Mr. Jackpots: this is crazy dub
	9:39pm Flash Strap: Hey hey Mr. Jackpots!!
	9:40pm Mr. Jackpots: Hey! Your show looks awesome as usual
	9:40pm Flash Strap: why thank you Mr. Jackpots
	9:41pm Little Danny: Wow
	9:42pm Little Danny: This percussion ❤️
	9:42pm Flash Strap: it's so cool
	9:43pm Flash Strap: zzz is right, Back Weh is so good, it was very hard to not play it tonight. but it's so good to jam Conquest like this
	9:45pm doctorjazz: Gotta take off, thanks Flash!
	9:45pm Flash Strap: godspeed Doc!
	🥁 9:45pm chresti: I like the skanky dubs
	🥁 9:46pm Mantarray: crazy, heavy sax. so great.
	9:47pm Flash Strap: Deadly Headly on sax no doubt
	9:49pm Flash Strap: not at all planned but that Entebbe Affair made me have to play this
	9:53pm zzz: so good, everything here. thanks FS!
	9:55pm Little Danny: deepest show as ever, flash, thank you!!!
	🥁 9:56pm Mantarray: thanks Flash! radical dubs indeed, and a great show!
