	🥁 7:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...pulling out all the stops...perhaps literally...
	7:11pm Sadhu Sadhu: Prabha Devi: Hahah. Welcome! Your being your cheerfull self as always!
	7:13pm Flash Strap: I think so, Brian. I lost my notes on that particular image but it's definitely British Romantic
	🥁 7:13pm Passaic River Blues: Is this Haitian? Not half bad.
	7:14pm Sadhu Sadhu: If Moahaha was here this would be a complete DW take over. I guess hes home from that pop quiz now...

	7:19pm Sadhu Sadhu: Beautifull track that taste of honey
	7:19pm βrian: I came up with this via the Googe: "Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797): "The Eruption of Vesuvius", 1774"
	7:20pm Flash Strap: Hi Hyde! Late but alive and very very welcome
	7:20pm Flash Strap: agreed, Sadhu. almost religious reading
	7:20pm Prabha Devi: The times they are a-changin! Long time.. but we try keep the flame going with Dream Weapons blog! Good to hear-see you again!
	7:21pm Doug Schulkind: Vital organs.
	7:21pm Sadhu Sadhu: Hyde! Long time. Welcome, welcome
	7:21pm Flash Strap: that's the one, Brian
	7:23pm Flash Strap: back at ya, Devi. gonna do a DW mix myself this summer
	7:23pm Sadhu Sadhu: Ah yes. Great, great Dick Hyman track
	7:23pm Flash Strap: (finally)
	7:24pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: Looking forward to recive it!
	🥁 7:24pm Passaic River Blues: You can't go wrong with this album.
	7:25pm Flash Strap: it's seriously so good, but it's really hard to pull it out and not cue up Minotaur
	7:25pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: I think the last time I asked, you were in the middle of moving, so bad timing from our part
	7:26pm hyde: @sadhu hello! good to see you around.
	7:26pm Flash Strap: nothing is ever well-timed in this life, alas
	7:26pm Sadhu Sadhu: Hyde: Likewise. Been ages!
	7:26pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: True that. :/
	7:27pm Prabha Devi: Yes! Nice one. We look forward to it. In the meantime we are trying to keep the old flame burning in our own way.
	7:30pm Little Danny: Ha. The "thunder" effect on Thomas's Lowery organ
	7:31pm Sadhu Sadhu: Little Danny: Its BEAUTIFUL. :D
	7:32pm Little Danny: Oh I agree!
	7:32pm Little Danny: @Flash: Lovely segue into this Cowley
	7:32pm Sadhu Sadhu: haha. Good. i absolutely love it
	7:33pm Flash Strap: That Timmy Thomas is an anytime LP for me
	7:33pm Flash Strap: picked this Cowley up the other day and did the classic thing of playing it at the wrong speed and liking it better that way – now we can all share in my preference
	7:34pm Prabha Devi: Speed kills
	🥁 7:34pm Passaic River Blues: As many times as I've heard the song "Why Can't We Live Together" (has to be hundreds by this point), I've never heard that cut before and it was fantastic.
	7:34pm Prabha Devi: ;-)
	7:35pm Little Danny: Ah that's such a great theme to mine, Evan. I did the same with a 45 copy of Ravi Shankar's jazzy "Fire Night" years ago
	7:36pm Flash Strap: @PRB: the whole LP is just so good. maybe my #1 version of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, of all things. Also, "Cold, Cold People"
	7:36pm northguineahills: Loved the Hyman! Busy doing lab work (this all new to me).
	7:37pm Flash Strap: whoa that sounds really good, LD – you should do a show of slows
	7:37pm Flash Strap: hi NGH!
	7:38pm Little Danny: This pitch-altered Cowley certainly brings out its Moroder-ness
	7:38pm Sadhu Sadhu: Passaic River Blues: Compliments on your choise of avatar. Thats a beutiful album!
	7:38pm Little Danny: Your Show of Slows
	7:38pm Flash Strap: I'll second that, Sadhu
	7:39pm Sadhu Sadhu: @flash. Ever heard Dress you up with my love by madona at 33? 10000x better than the original
	7:40pm Prabha Devi: You should check out Al Lovers mixtape on DW where he put lots of 60s stuff through some effects.. not an expert so don't know what it was but it sounded cool. Its called Purgatory Blues
	7:40pm Flash Strap: @LD, re: Moroder - definitely. a lot of that Muscle Up and School Daze Cowley is actually just tracks he recorded and later slowed down for atmospheric effect, so it's really very Cowley all the way
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Will do, Prabha, sounds excellent
	7:40pm Prabha Devi: And BTW... someone played a Radiohead song at the wrong speed and it ALMOST sounded good...
	7:42pm Sadhu Sadhu: Prabha: Well, that effect got a bit tiering after a while... Was nice ffor the first 20 minutes. But hes a celebrity, so anything goes. haha
	7:42pm hyde: this is cracking me up because ca. 1982 i had a Material 12" that i played at 33 for years even tho i eventually found it was a 45
	7:43pm Sadhu Sadhu: hyde: haha. I really cant listen to Dress you up at normal speed after hearing it at 33. Guess its the same for Material girl. Madonas voice even sound better at that speed.
	7:43pm Prabha Devi: Haha.. true. But some of the songs were NICE
	7:44pm Sadhu Sadhu: Prabha: Defenitely
	🥁 7:44pm Passaic River Blues: @Flash Strap: I will have to investigate then. @Sadhu: Thank you. It really is wondrously beautiful. Young went far too soon.
	7:46pm Sadhu Sadhu: Passaic River Blues: in deed!
	7:47pm hyde: down with rigor
	7:48pm Sadhu Sadhu: Reminds me to hunt down more Larry Young albums. I only have 2 i think
	7:49pm Prabha Devi: Remember when we were in Haiti @Sadhu Sadhu?
	🥁 7:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Organ Nerd Records
	7:49pm Sadhu Sadhu: Why, yes I do Prabha.
	7:50pm Sadhu Sadhu: Why?
	🥁 7:52pm chresti: I am organ nerd!
	7:53pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: Speeking of speed. Didnt you do a full mixtape that was only slowed down tunes? Or was it a full album that you just slowed down years back?
	7:53pm Prabha Devi: He said Haitan
	7:54pm Sadhu Sadhu: Prabah: Hhahaha. True, true. Man i miss traveling. Damnit.
	7:54pm Sadhu Sadhu: 98% sure that im canceling my US trip this summer too. :(
	🥁 7:55pm chresti: I also like slowed down, warped tunes
	7:58pm Flash Strap: @Sadhu: I did 2 mixes of slowed down exotica tunes a while back, yeah
	7:59pm Flash Strap: also slowed down the better part of Lalo Schifrin's Black Widow LP
	8:00pm Sadhu Sadhu: Yes. Black Widow. Thats the one i was thinking of.
	8:00pm doctorjazz: OK, my time to hit the road, catch you in the car, thanks, Flash!
	8:00pm Prabha Devi: I feel rather slowed down at the moment, but thats the wine
	8:00pm Sadhu Sadhu: Bye Doc!
	8:00pm Flash Strap: safe and very pleasant journeys, Doc!
	8:01pm Sadhu Sadhu: Prabha: I could use a bottle of wine myself...
	8:01pm melinda: hola!
	8:02pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: What was the two mixes of slowed down exotic you did? I was shure i had all your mixes. Maybe i just didnt notice that they were slowed down...
	8:02pm Sadhu Sadhu: Hey Melinda!
	🥁 8:02pm Passaic River Blues: @Sadhu: you're right that there are a ton. I am pretty indiscriminate--like Blue Note to the cheesiest fusion stuff. "Lawrence of Newark" is my favorite and next in line is probably Tony Williams' Lifetime's "Emergency".
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Should have noted this in the break: all of side A is Lecuona compositions (which is what we're hearing) side B does all the hits, Hawaiian War Chant, Caravan...
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda! welcome! @Sadhu: they're called Exotiste and Exotiste Vol. II
	8:05pm Sadhu Sadhu: Ai. They are all slowed down. Ive had those mixes since you posted them one million years ago. haha. But i havent listened to them in ages. wow. I need to listen to them again
	8:05pm Flash Strap: whoops!
	8:06pm slawooy: Checking in. I’m all ears!
	8:07pm Prabha Devi: @Prabha maybe your computer is just really fast?
	8:07pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: Guess i didnt notice cause your mixes was my first propper voyage into exotica, so i didnt know most of those tracks at the time
	8:07pm Sadhu Sadhu: @Prabha: It IS!
	8:07pm Flash Strap: Hi there Slawoooy!
	8:09pm Flash Strap: Plas Johnson on sax for this LP, so good
	8:11pm Sadhu Sadhu: Passaic River Blues: While I really have been enjoying Lawrenc of Newark, Ive never gotten around to check out that much else he did. I only have Unity and Larry Young's Fuel which i cant remember much of, so I guess they didnt leave that much of an impression. But i should definitely check out more of his stuff.
	🥁 8:12pm chresti: Is the artwork in honor of the volcano that's about to erupt in Hawaii?
	8:13pm Sadhu Sadhu: chresti: There's a volcano about to erupt in Hawaii?
	8:14pm Flash Strap: @Chresti: no, but it can be now!
	🥁 8:15pm chresti: I heard it on the news-there were several small earthquakes there, recently.
	8:16pm Flash Strap: that's cool in theory but i hope everyone i gonna be ok
	8:16pm Sadhu Sadhu: Like just now? Was nothing on the news here (in good old Norway) at 23.
	8:18pm Sadhu Sadhu: (its 2:17 am here now btw. Thats how I've allready seen the 11 pm news.)
	🥁 8:18pm chresti: I heard it maybe, yesterday, on my way to work.
	8:19pm Flash Strap: very excellent mix of stuff from the Crown label by our own Little Danny, highly highly recommended: officenaps.com...
	8:20pm Prabha Devi: I'm currently travelling in Tirana, Albania and we didn't hear anything. Although right now the aforementioned wine has spun its silky web and I shall surrender to the sleep reserved only for the wicked or the rich. I am neither. Thanks for tonight!
	8:20pm Sadhu Sadhu: Oh. I guess Norwgian news don't find it important enough to report. hmmm. i'll go see if i can find anything on it.
	8:21pm Flash Strap: btw that last track, Kapu, is about a volcano. so there's somethin'
	8:21pm Sadhu Sadhu: Sweet dreams Prabha. Catch you tomorrow.
	🥁 8:21pm chresti: It was announced as if it could happen anytime, suggesting the earth shake was a sign. I'm in Los Angeles
	8:21pm Flash Strap: sleep tight, tight prince
	8:22pm Little Danny: Thanks for sending 'em my way, Evan! (Regarding the Crown label.)
	8:22pm Sadhu Sadhu: Thanks for the recomandation Flash. The office naps mixes are great, but for some reason i keep forgeting about that site, so i missed this one.
	8:22pm Flash Strap: my pleasure, that's a good mix man
	🥁 8:23pm chresti: Wow! A premonition!
	8:23pm Sadhu Sadhu: And thanks to Little Danny for the great work!
	8:23pm Prabha Devi: Thanks! Zzzzzzz
	8:25pm Flash Strap: I don't think i'd heard anything on that mix before but the Kapu stuff. I have two versions of Kapu, but I know there's at least three. The other one on I have on Crown is called Exotic Percussion. both have very good cover art
	8:27pm Little Danny: @Sadhu: thanks, and thanks, and thanks! It's more or less permanently on hiatus, but I do keep all of the MP3s available
	8:29pm Sadhu Sadhu: Little Danny: Also nice that you keep them as separate mp3s. Never been a big fan of those massive single file mixes.
	8:29pm Sadhu Sadhu: Downloaded now. Will listen tomorrow.
	8:30pm Little Danny: @Sadhu: that always drives me crazy as well. Thank you!
	8:30pm Flash Strap: Plas Johnson again!
	8:32pm Sadhu Sadhu: Oh. 2:30. Time to retire. Have a wonderfull evening guys! will catch the rest in the archive!
	8:33pm Flash Strap: have a good one, Sadhu! thanks for hangin out
	8:33pm Sadhu Sadhu: My pleasure Evan! Thanks for the music
	8:33pm Sadhu Sadhu: Lovely as always
	8:42pm Flash Strap: this album isn't very good, but this track is HUGE
	8:43pm Flash Strap: (The carl Stevens, i mean)
	🥁 8:51pm chresti: Imagine Yma doing the national anthem at superbowl.
	8:52pm northguineahills: Yma Sumac! Well thanks for the fun toe-tapping time when I attempted lab work. Hear ya later!
	8:53pm Flash Strap: @chresti: imagine that wild tour she did of Russia, performing like a grand dame for the politburo
	🥁 9:05pm chresti: That's much better (Yma in Russia)
	9:07pm Little Danny: This Adderley is great and totally new to me. Definitely a different mode than his contemporaneous soul jazz stuff
	9:07pm Flash Strap: i would kill to see that tour documentary. I guess they all fell in love with her. the live album from that time is all the proof you need that she was really an incredible artist – she hits all those notes live, does all those rapid changes, live!
	🥁 9:07pm Passaic River Blues: This is killer.
	9:08pm Flash Strap: new to me too, LD! helps that they're playing a Lateef composition
	9:10pm Flash Strap: lovin' it over here too, PRB
	9:15pm hyde: good stuff
	9:19pm Flash Strap: This is such cool album. I bought this and about 40 soviet LPs from a guy for a dollar. Was worth it just for the Blue Moses but I later sold one of the 10" soviet records for a pretty penny as they say or a "hefty doubloon" if you prefer, and you may lay to that
	9:21pm Flash Strap: still stuck with the other 39 soviet records though... enough schlager and then some
	9:22pm Flash Strap: this whole record is TNT though, truly. Randy Weston got on a roll there for a while
	🥁 9:25pm Passaic River Blues: Billy Cobham, man!
	9:26pm Flash Strap: seriously
	9:29pm hyde: killer
	9:30pm Flash Strap: this is a wild ride, this Dance of Magic
	9:31pm Flash Strap: have been meaning to play it for ages, actually. this feels good to do
	9:31pm Flash Strap: the vocals amaze me
	9:33pm Flash Strap: I know Larry Young was playing with him at exactly this time, but he's not on this... Herbie Hancock is, though
	9:35pm Flash Strap: Eddie Henderson, wow
	9:39pm northguineahills: Norman Connors, new to me!
	9:43pm spookcity: man what a jammer!
	9:43pm Flash Strap: he was still very young as of this date, and had played with Archie Shepp (his first recording session was w/ Shepp I think), Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Jackie McLean, Marion Brown. quite a kid
	9:43pm Flash Strap: ah yeah now that's an Airto Moreira passage
	9:44pm Flash Strap: Cecil McBee doin that bass, damn
	9:44pm Flash Strap: oh AND Stanley Clarke
	9:44pm Flash Strap: hi Spook!
	🥁 9:47pm Passaic River Blues: This is crazy good.
	🥁 9:48pm chresti: Wow
	9:49pm spookcity: hiya pal! lovin the dulcet tones playin behindja!
	9:50pm spookcity: also gonna miss ya during yr hiatus, but so thrilled & happy for you two! hope y'all have a blast!!

	9:53pm hyde: thanks Flash!
	9:54pm Little Danny: And thanks for tonight's great show sir
	🥁 9:55pm chresti: Thanks
	9:55pm Little Danny: The fun runneth on: wfmu.org...
	9:55pm Flash Strap: Thanks all! oh btw that Harpist was none other than Harpo Marx's classical harp instructor
	9:55pm northguineahills: Thanks Evan!
	9:56pm Flash Strap: Let's Mawwy
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: i decided to not check in so unfashionably late as 9.52 but did i just miss an important announcement?
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: (then it took 3 minutes more to get sound)
	9:57pm Flash Strap: Hi C., got mawwied, gone till June

	9:58pm Flash Strap: thanks pal

	10:00pm Flash Strap: ah shit, I meant to mention: Kurth Gottschalk and Larry Grogan will be filling in so check em out
	10:01pm Flash Strap: just three weeks but in a way that somehow makes me miss 4 thursdays
	10:01pm Flash Strap: ok bye all and much love
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: ps bring back exotica!
	12:26pm 23 Wolves: Great show, extremely enjoyable.

Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from May 3, 2018

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.

	7:09pm βrian: Is that a Romantic-era Vesuvius?
	7:10pm Prabha Devi: Life is a cherry-less pie
	7:11pm βrian: Was that Masterly Doug who popped in above?
	🥁 7:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...pulling out all the stops...perhaps literally...
	7:11pm Sadhu Sadhu: Prabha Devi: Hahah. Welcome! Your being your cheerfull self as always!
	7:13pm Flash Strap: I think so, Brian. I lost my notes on that particular image but it's definitely British Romantic
	🥁 7:13pm Passaic River Blues: Is this Haitian? Not half bad.
	7:14pm Sadhu Sadhu: If Moahaha was here this would be a complete DW take over. I guess hes home from that pop quiz now...
	7:15pm Little Danny: Hey Flash, hey all
	7:15pm Sadhu Sadhu: Hey Danny
	🥁 7:16pm chresti: Hello! Sure am liking this!
	7:17pm Flash Strap: Hi Prabha Devi ol' pal! Rev Rab! Hi Passaic! yes, Hatian. Just picked it up, actually Hi LD! Hi Chresti! Great to have you all here
	7:18pm hyde: i said last week i'd put in a full shift, but here i am. twenty minutes late.
	7:19pm Sadhu Sadhu: Beautifull track that taste of honey
	7:19pm βrian: I came up with this via the Googe: "Joseph Wright of Derby (1734-1797): "The Eruption of Vesuvius", 1774"
	7:20pm Flash Strap: Hi Hyde! Late but alive and very very welcome
	7:20pm Flash Strap: agreed, Sadhu. almost religious reading
	7:20pm Prabha Devi: The times they are a-changin! Long time.. but we try keep the flame going with Dream Weapons blog! Good to hear-see you again!
	7:21pm Doug Schulkind: Vital organs.
	7:21pm Sadhu Sadhu: Hyde! Long time. Welcome, welcome
	7:21pm Flash Strap: that's the one, Brian
	7:23pm Flash Strap: back at ya, Devi. gonna do a DW mix myself this summer
	7:23pm Sadhu Sadhu: Ah yes. Great, great Dick Hyman track
	7:23pm Flash Strap: (finally)
	7:24pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: Looking forward to recive it!
	🥁 7:24pm Passaic River Blues: You can't go wrong with this album.
	7:25pm Flash Strap: it's seriously so good, but it's really hard to pull it out and not cue up Minotaur
	7:25pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: I think the last time I asked, you were in the middle of moving, so bad timing from our part
	7:26pm hyde: @sadhu hello! good to see you around.
	7:26pm Flash Strap: nothing is ever well-timed in this life, alas
	7:26pm Sadhu Sadhu: Hyde: Likewise. Been ages!
	7:26pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: True that. :/
	7:27pm Prabha Devi: Yes! Nice one. We look forward to it. In the meantime we are trying to keep the old flame burning in our own way.
	7:30pm Little Danny: Ha. The "thunder" effect on Thomas's Lowery organ
	7:31pm Sadhu Sadhu: Little Danny: Its BEAUTIFUL. :D
	7:32pm Little Danny: Oh I agree!
	7:32pm Little Danny: @Flash: Lovely segue into this Cowley
	7:32pm Sadhu Sadhu: haha. Good. i absolutely love it
	7:33pm Flash Strap: That Timmy Thomas is an anytime LP for me
	7:33pm Flash Strap: picked this Cowley up the other day and did the classic thing of playing it at the wrong speed and liking it better that way – now we can all share in my preference
	7:34pm Prabha Devi: Speed kills
	🥁 7:34pm Passaic River Blues: As many times as I've heard the song "Why Can't We Live Together" (has to be hundreds by this point), I've never heard that cut before and it was fantastic.
	7:34pm Prabha Devi: ;-)
	7:35pm Little Danny: Ah that's such a great theme to mine, Evan. I did the same with a 45 copy of Ravi Shankar's jazzy "Fire Night" years ago
	7:36pm Flash Strap: @PRB: the whole LP is just so good. maybe my #1 version of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, of all things. Also, "Cold, Cold People"
	7:36pm northguineahills: Loved the Hyman! Busy doing lab work (this all new to me).
	7:37pm Flash Strap: whoa that sounds really good, LD – you should do a show of slows
	7:37pm Flash Strap: hi NGH!
	7:38pm Little Danny: This pitch-altered Cowley certainly brings out its Moroder-ness
	7:38pm Sadhu Sadhu: Passaic River Blues: Compliments on your choise of avatar. Thats a beutiful album!
	7:38pm Little Danny: Your Show of Slows
	7:38pm Flash Strap: I'll second that, Sadhu
	7:39pm Sadhu Sadhu: @flash. Ever heard Dress you up with my love by madona at 33? 10000x better than the original
	7:40pm Prabha Devi: You should check out Al Lovers mixtape on DW where he put lots of 60s stuff through some effects.. not an expert so don't know what it was but it sounded cool. Its called Purgatory Blues
	7:40pm Flash Strap: @LD, re: Moroder - definitely. a lot of that Muscle Up and School Daze Cowley is actually just tracks he recorded and later slowed down for atmospheric effect, so it's really very Cowley all the way
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Will do, Prabha, sounds excellent
	7:40pm Prabha Devi: And BTW... someone played a Radiohead song at the wrong speed and it ALMOST sounded good...
	7:42pm Sadhu Sadhu: Prabha: Well, that effect got a bit tiering after a while... Was nice ffor the first 20 minutes. But hes a celebrity, so anything goes. haha
	7:42pm hyde: this is cracking me up because ca. 1982 i had a Material 12" that i played at 33 for years even tho i eventually found it was a 45
	7:43pm Sadhu Sadhu: hyde: haha. I really cant listen to Dress you up at normal speed after hearing it at 33. Guess its the same for Material girl. Madonas voice even sound better at that speed.
	7:43pm Prabha Devi: Haha.. true. But some of the songs were NICE
	7:44pm Sadhu Sadhu: Prabha: Defenitely
	🥁 7:44pm Passaic River Blues: @Flash Strap: I will have to investigate then. @Sadhu: Thank you. It really is wondrously beautiful. Young went far too soon.
	7:46pm Sadhu Sadhu: Passaic River Blues: in deed!
	7:47pm hyde: down with rigor
	7:48pm Sadhu Sadhu: Reminds me to hunt down more Larry Young albums. I only have 2 i think
	7:49pm Prabha Devi: Remember when we were in Haiti @Sadhu Sadhu?
	🥁 7:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Organ Nerd Records
	7:49pm Sadhu Sadhu: Why, yes I do Prabha.
	7:50pm Sadhu Sadhu: Why?
	🥁 7:52pm chresti: I am organ nerd!
	7:53pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: Speeking of speed. Didnt you do a full mixtape that was only slowed down tunes? Or was it a full album that you just slowed down years back?
	7:53pm Prabha Devi: He said Haitan
	7:54pm Sadhu Sadhu: Prabah: Hhahaha. True, true. Man i miss traveling. Damnit.
	7:54pm Sadhu Sadhu: 98% sure that im canceling my US trip this summer too. :(
	🥁 7:55pm chresti: I also like slowed down, warped tunes
	7:58pm Flash Strap: @Sadhu: I did 2 mixes of slowed down exotica tunes a while back, yeah
	7:59pm Flash Strap: also slowed down the better part of Lalo Schifrin's Black Widow LP
	8:00pm Sadhu Sadhu: Yes. Black Widow. Thats the one i was thinking of.
	8:00pm doctorjazz: OK, my time to hit the road, catch you in the car, thanks, Flash!
	8:00pm Prabha Devi: I feel rather slowed down at the moment, but thats the wine
	8:00pm Sadhu Sadhu: Bye Doc!
	8:00pm Flash Strap: safe and very pleasant journeys, Doc!
	8:01pm Sadhu Sadhu: Prabha: I could use a bottle of wine myself...
	8:01pm melinda: hola!
	8:02pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: What was the two mixes of slowed down exotic you did? I was shure i had all your mixes. Maybe i just didnt notice that they were slowed down...
	8:02pm Sadhu Sadhu: Hey Melinda!
	🥁 8:02pm Passaic River Blues: @Sadhu: you're right that there are a ton. I am pretty indiscriminate--like Blue Note to the cheesiest fusion stuff. "Lawrence of Newark" is my favorite and next in line is probably Tony Williams' Lifetime's "Emergency".
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Should have noted this in the break: all of side A is Lecuona compositions (which is what we're hearing) side B does all the hits, Hawaiian War Chant, Caravan...
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda! welcome! @Sadhu: they're called Exotiste and Exotiste Vol. II
	8:05pm Sadhu Sadhu: Ai. They are all slowed down. Ive had those mixes since you posted them one million years ago. haha. But i havent listened to them in ages. wow. I need to listen to them again
	8:05pm Flash Strap: whoops!
	8:06pm slawooy: Checking in. I’m all ears!
	8:07pm Prabha Devi: @Prabha maybe your computer is just really fast?
	8:07pm Sadhu Sadhu: Evan: Guess i didnt notice cause your mixes was my first propper voyage into exotica, so i didnt know most of those tracks at the time
	8:07pm Sadhu Sadhu: @Prabha: It IS!
	8:07pm Flash Strap: Hi there Slawoooy!
	8:09pm Flash Strap: Plas Johnson on sax for this LP, so good
	8:11pm Sadhu Sadhu: Passaic River Blues: While I really have been enjoying Lawrenc of Newark, Ive never gotten around to check out that much else he did. I only have Unity and Larry Young's Fuel which i cant remember much of, so I guess they didnt leave that much of an impression. But i should definitely check out more of his stuff.
	🥁 8:12pm chresti: Is the artwork in honor of the volcano that's about to erupt in Hawaii?
	8:13pm Sadhu Sadhu: chresti: There's a volcano about to erupt in Hawaii?
	8:14pm Flash Strap: @Chresti: no, but it can be now!
	🥁 8:15pm chresti: I heard it on the news-there were several small earthquakes there, recently.
	8:16pm Flash Strap: that's cool in theory but i hope everyone i gonna be ok
	8:16pm Sadhu Sadhu: Like just now? Was nothing on the news here (in good old Norway) at 23.
	8:18pm Sadhu Sadhu: (its 2:17 am here now btw. Thats how I've allready seen the 11 pm news.)
	🥁 8:18pm chresti: I heard it maybe, yesterday, on my way to work.
	8:19pm Flash Strap: very excellent mix of stuff from the Crown label by our own Little Danny, highly highly recommended: officenaps.com...
	8:20pm Prabha Devi: I'm currently travelling in Tirana, Albania and we didn't hear anything. Although right now the aforementioned wine has spun its silky web and I shall surrender to the sleep reserved only for the wicked or the rich. I am neither. Thanks for tonight!
	8:20pm Sadhu Sadhu: Oh. I guess Norwgian news don't find it important enough to report. hmmm. i'll go see if i can find anything on it.
	8:21pm Flash Strap: btw that last track, Kapu, is about a volcano. so there's somethin'
	8:21pm Sadhu Sadhu: Sweet dreams Prabha. Catch you tomorrow.
	🥁 8:21pm chresti: It was announced as if it could happen anytime, suggesting the earth shake was a sign. I'm in Los Angeles
	8:21pm Flash Strap: sleep tight, tight prince
	8:22pm Little Danny: Thanks for sending 'em my way, Evan! (Regarding the Crown label.)
	8:22pm Sadhu Sadhu: Thanks for the recomandation Flash. The office naps mixes are great, but for some reason i keep forgeting about that site, so i missed this one.
	8:22pm Flash Strap: my pleasure, that's a good mix man
	🥁 8:23pm chresti: Wow! A premonition!
	8:23pm Sadhu Sadhu: And thanks to Little Danny for the great work!
	8:23pm Prabha Devi: Thanks! Zzzzzzz
	8:25pm Flash Strap: I don't think i'd heard anything on that mix before but the Kapu stuff. I have two versions of Kapu, but I know there's at least three. The other one on I have on Crown is called Exotic Percussion. both have very good cover art
	8:27pm Little Danny: @Sadhu: thanks, and thanks, and thanks! It's more or less permanently on hiatus, but I do keep all of the MP3s available
	8:29pm Sadhu Sadhu: Little Danny: Also nice that you keep them as separate mp3s. Never been a big fan of those massive single file mixes.
	8:29pm Sadhu Sadhu: Downloaded now. Will listen tomorrow.
	8:30pm Little Danny: @Sadhu: that always drives me crazy as well. Thank you!
	8:30pm Flash Strap: Plas Johnson again!
	8:32pm Sadhu Sadhu: Oh. 2:30. Time to retire. Have a wonderfull evening guys! will catch the rest in the archive!
	8:33pm Flash Strap: have a good one, Sadhu! thanks for hangin out
	8:33pm Sadhu Sadhu: My pleasure Evan! Thanks for the music
	8:33pm Sadhu Sadhu: Lovely as always
	8:42pm Flash Strap: this album isn't very good, but this track is HUGE
	8:43pm Flash Strap: (The carl Stevens, i mean)
	🥁 8:51pm chresti: Imagine Yma doing the national anthem at superbowl.
	8:52pm northguineahills: Yma Sumac! Well thanks for the fun toe-tapping time when I attempted lab work. Hear ya later!
	8:53pm Flash Strap: @chresti: imagine that wild tour she did of Russia, performing like a grand dame for the politburo
	🥁 9:05pm chresti: That's much better (Yma in Russia)
	9:07pm Little Danny: This Adderley is great and totally new to me. Definitely a different mode than his contemporaneous soul jazz stuff
	9:07pm Flash Strap: i would kill to see that tour documentary. I guess they all fell in love with her. the live album from that time is all the proof you need that she was really an incredible artist – she hits all those notes live, does all those rapid changes, live!
	🥁 9:07pm Passaic River Blues: This is killer.
	9:08pm Flash Strap: new to me too, LD! helps that they're playing a Lateef composition
	9:10pm Flash Strap: lovin' it over here too, PRB
	9:15pm hyde: good stuff
	9:19pm Flash Strap: This is such cool album. I bought this and about 40 soviet LPs from a guy for a dollar. Was worth it just for the Blue Moses but I later sold one of the 10" soviet records for a pretty penny as they say or a "hefty doubloon" if you prefer, and you may lay to that
	9:21pm Flash Strap: still stuck with the other 39 soviet records though... enough schlager and then some
	9:22pm Flash Strap: this whole record is TNT though, truly. Randy Weston got on a roll there for a while
	🥁 9:25pm Passaic River Blues: Billy Cobham, man!
	9:26pm Flash Strap: seriously
	9:29pm hyde: killer
	9:30pm Flash Strap: this is a wild ride, this Dance of Magic
	9:31pm Flash Strap: have been meaning to play it for ages, actually. this feels good to do
	9:31pm Flash Strap: the vocals amaze me
	9:33pm Flash Strap: I know Larry Young was playing with him at exactly this time, but he's not on this... Herbie Hancock is, though
	9:35pm Flash Strap: Eddie Henderson, wow
	9:39pm northguineahills: Norman Connors, new to me!
	9:43pm spookcity: man what a jammer!
	9:43pm Flash Strap: he was still very young as of this date, and had played with Archie Shepp (his first recording session was w/ Shepp I think), Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Jackie McLean, Marion Brown. quite a kid
	9:43pm Flash Strap: ah yeah now that's an Airto Moreira passage
	9:44pm Flash Strap: Cecil McBee doin that bass, damn
	9:44pm Flash Strap: oh AND Stanley Clarke
	9:44pm Flash Strap: hi Spook!
	🥁 9:47pm Passaic River Blues: This is crazy good.
	🥁 9:48pm chresti: Wow
	9:49pm spookcity: hiya pal! lovin the dulcet tones playin behindja!
	9:50pm spookcity: also gonna miss ya during yr hiatus, but so thrilled & happy for you two! hope y'all have a blast!!

	🥁 9:55pm chresti: Thanks
	9:55pm Little Danny: The fun runneth on: wfmu.org...
	9:55pm Flash Strap: Thanks all! oh btw that Harpist was none other than Harpo Marx's classical harp instructor
	9:55pm northguineahills: Thanks Evan!
	9:56pm Flash Strap: Let's Mawwy
	9:56pm coelacanth∅: i decided to not check in so unfashionably late as 9.52 but did i just miss an important announcement?
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: (then it took 3 minutes more to get sound)

	10:00pm Flash Strap: ah shit, I meant to mention: Kurth Gottschalk and Larry Grogan will be filling in so check em out
	10:01pm Flash Strap: just three weeks but in a way that somehow makes me miss 4 thursdays
	10:01pm Flash Strap: ok bye all and much love
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: ps bring back exotica!
	12:26pm 23 Wolves: Great show, extremely enjoyable.
