	🥁 7:00pm chresti: Are those speakers or ashtrays?
	7:00pm Flash Strap: Hi Chresti!
	7:01pm listener james from westwood: Blind Tourist makes for a hell of an intro for this show. How do, all!
	7:01pm Flash Strap: Thanks, I did that for an article about plant music a year or so ago and it seemed to complement the show tonight. they're speakers
	7:01pm Flash Strap: Hi James!
	🥁 7:02pm chresti: I like how you furnished the room
	7:02pm Flash Strap: what;s that about a blind tourist
	7:03pm hyde: hiya
	7:03pm Flash Strap: Hiya Hyde!
	7:04pm doctorjazz: LOVE this Threadgill (though I've always thought the intonation was a bit off... On purpose?). Great later when it picks up steam. Of, and hip!
	🥁 7:04pm chresti: sounds interestsing
	7:05pm hyde: i love this record
	7:05pm Flash Strap: this is still pretty much the only Henry Threadgill album I really know – somebody in these comments is a huge Threadgill lover but I can't recall who, is it you Doc? and, Hi Doc!
	7:05pm Flash Strap: @hyde: me too
	🥁 7:06pm chresti: what kind of music do plants like?
	7:06pm hyde: also love the Air records circa the same time
	🥁 7:06pm chresti: this is so good!
	7:07pm hyde: (or slightly earlier)
	7:07pm Flash Strap: i honestly don't really know, chresti. i know I like music that people make "for" plants, like Plantasia, but I never really learned more about what tones plants respond to
	7:08pm Flash Strap: What are some good ones to pick up, Hyde? I have no Air
	7:08pm Michael 98145: @chresti, anything that leafs you speechless ?
	7:09pm Flash Strap: re: Air, Threadgill – big blind spot here, which I love to have so I can fill it in
	7:09pm Flash Strap: Hi Michael!
	7:11pm hyde: @Flash i like Open Air Suit a lot. Montreaux Suisse is good and has lots of hubkaphone
	7:11pm melinda: hi everyone!
	7:11pm Flash Strap: Open Air Suit has a great cover, so i was hoping you'd say that: img.discogs.com...
	7:11pm hyde: oh, and Air Time is really good too
	7:12pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda!
	7:12pm Michael 98145: sounds like our friends back east are getting quite a snowfall. how about down in ExR land?
	7:12pm Flash Strap: i will get ahold of them all, Hyde, thank you for hipping me
	7:12pm hyde: @Flash i have that on LP!
	7:14pm Flash Strap: nice
	7:14pm Michael 98145: hirsute air suit
	7:16pm Flash Strap: Bebey makes such beautiful music
	7:19pm Flash Strap: in rapture to the song
	7:20pm zonk ludlow: Hiya Flash & Explorers. First time in a while I've been able to listen live and I get treated to some Francis Bebey, life is good.
	7:21pm Flash Strap: Hi Zonk! been missing you around these parts, very nice to see you this evening
	7:21pm Flash Strap: how are things over where you are?
	7:23pm listener james from westwood: Ain't no mistaking Bebey!
	7:23pm doctorjazz: Big Threadgill fan, especially his 80's Sextette records!
	7:25pm Flash Strap: @James: you ain't kiddin
	7:25pm Michael 98145: { liked that a lot }
	7:26pm Flash Strap: Me too, Michael, me too
	7:26pm doctorjazz: I'd send you some Threadgill, but Imostly have it on vinyl (at least the early stuff, Air. . Do have later cds I could send, though.
	7:26pm Flash Strap: @Doc: ok i gotta dig into those too then
	7:26pm geezerette: Hullo, Evan and seekers of adventure!
	7:27pm Doug Schulkind: There’s some post-doctoral level segueing goin’ on over here.
	🥁 7:27pm chresti: whenever if ever I explore my stars - There was a lively discussion yesterday about the star clicking business (as Kim Sorise might put it),)for me, it way beats writing it down
	7:27pm Flash Strap: @Doc: feel free! in the meantime, or either way, I'll be hunting
	7:28pm Flash Strap: Hi Geeze! It's not a true adventure till we have you in our crew
	7:28pm Michael 98145: some of us just like seeing all the golden stars
	🥁 7:28pm chresti: HAHA Michael!!
	7:28pm melinda: I just scrolled down and saw the rest of the art. Flash you are a fantastic collagist!
	7:28pm Flash Strap: Doug! ah thanks, it was hard but it was worth it, getting that PhD in Psegueology
	7:29pm geezerette: Awww...shucks... :)
	7:30pm Michael 98145: i remember when the psegue was going to be the vehicle of the future -
	7:30pm melinda: @chresti I click away but don't explore my stars enough.
	7:30pm Flash Strap: @melinda: Thanks friend. I'm blushin'
	7:30pm geezerette: Melinda, right?
	🥁 7:31pm chresti: @Doug,no kidding!
	7:31pm Michael 98145: whoa, this is turning quadraphonic
	7:31pm geezerette: Deep Sunrise is so beautiful!
	7:32pm Flash Strap: I've been meaning to get this track on the show for some time! finally doing it and it feels very good. Angel Rada is a very special artist
	7:32pm hyde: this is super cool
	7:33pm geezerette: Being played on organ it's like seeing a silent film in a cathedral.
	7:34pm Michael 98145: climb every cathedral
	7:34pm geezerette: Howdy, Hyde!
	7:35pm geezerette: Michael! :D
	🥁 7:35pm chresti: @melinda-yeah! my stars are piling up in a cabinet.
	7:36pm melinda: I still have little scraps of paper from other radio stations and before I discovered the click-star system here. I did start writing down some names and titles of music that is mellow and soothing, since it a genre I seem to need a lot of, and I can't tell from my favorites which ones those might be.
	7:38pm Flash Strap: i really like his weird little stuttering note clusters, very interesting technique
	7:38pm hyde: hi geezerette!
	7:40pm Michael 98145: Phase 4 ! :)
	7:40pm melinda: I wouldn't have thought this song would do well with a Moog treatment but I love it.
	7:41pm geezerette: Hyde, any adventures in film viewing?
	7:41pm Flash Strap: i agree, melinda, very unlikely in a way but I think rather charming and dreamy
	7:42pm passiflora: Hi all, happy to be here. Came at the right time
	7:43pm melinda: hi passiflora!
	7:43pm zonk ludlow: Melinda, Flash I totally concur, it is a thing of true beauty.
	7:43pm hyde: @geezerette nothing too exciting lately except i did just move into a place last week and Friday we got our FIOS set up so i have Turner Classic Movies now! but too busy to do much but watch bits and pieces
	7:43pm passiflora: hi melinda!
	7:45pm geezerette: Hyde, that's great! Congratulations on having moved!
	7:46pm melinda: When I see Henry Threadgill I think Kenneth Threadgill, a country singer and bar owner of the early Austin music scene and namesake of a local favorite restaurant, so I expect quite different sounds to come out. I'll have to investigate Henry further.
	7:46pm hyde: @geez thanks! will be better when it's all unpacked
	7:48pm Michael 98145: France? wow - where ?
	7:48pm passiflora: I know the name Threadgill's from the Atheist Experience, based in Austin
	7:50pm geezerette: this is sort of sunday morning noir, funny combination!
	7:51pm passiflora: synthesizer taking off like an insect there
	7:52pm Flash Strap: @michael: a few areas, Nantes, Tours, Rennes, Lyon, Marseilles, Geneva
	7:52pm Flash Strap: A belated but very warm hello, Passiflora!
	7:53pm passiflora: hello, Evan! :)
	7:53pm melinda: @passiflora interesting connection. I think I've heard of the Atheist Experience but didn't know it was Austin-based. I remember when Madalyn Murray O'Hair ran the American Atheist Center there, we stopped by once with my dad after seeing a movie down the street.
	7:54pm passiflora: That's something...and both experiences might feel like leaving a theater. I felt that after leaving the dream house in new york the other day.
	7:55pm Michael 98145: well, have a great time en France !
	7:56pm Flash Strap: gracias
	7:56pm Flash Strap: boy this record is really something, totally engrossing imo
	7:58pm passiflora: It's disjointed enough to make you pay attention
	7:59pm geezerette: Compelling!
	7:59pm Flash Strap: yeah exactly. this is like plant music, but for growth stimulation of the human brain
	8:00pm passiflora: that's a good way of putting it
	8:03pm northguineahills: hellos
	8:03pm passiflora: 'llo!
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Hi and hellos NGH
	8:04pm northguineahills: loving this Sinigaglia
	8:05pm Flash Strap: me too, really interesting piece of work
	8:07pm Flash Strap: need more Sinigaglia in my library actually
	8:08pm coelacanth∅: aloha Evan and explorers
	8:09pm Flash Strap: aloha Coelacanth, how goes it?
	8:11pm passiflora: I just looked up coelacanth and it probably goes with most of the explorers sounds here
	8:12pm Flash Strap: this Joe Harriott w/ D'Silva is just as good as his Indo-fusions collaborations with Mayer
	8:13pm Flash Strap: @passiflora: oh, definitely
	8:14pm passiflora: Jaipur, the pink city
	8:15pm hyde: i don't think i've ever heard this
	8:16pm geezerette: Liking Jaipur a lot. I want lamb biryani though.
	8:16pm Flash Strap: he's such a good sax player, just beautiful
	8:17pm geezerette: absolutely!
	8:22pm Flash Strap: I've mentioned this before, but this is pretty much my favorite record of 2017
	8:24pm Flash Strap: I am your father. Mother too so cool. i'm pretty sure he's describing some aspect/s of South American music history,but my spanish is not that good
	8:25pm passiflora: an understanding, yet firm baseline
	8:28pm Little Danny: Hey Evan and fellow explorrrers, glad to be here
	8:28pm Flash Strap: hey Little Danny !
	8:29pm geezerette: I like that shimmering cascade. Howdy, LD!
	🥁 8:30pm chresti: this is crazy good
	8:32pm Little Danny: Oh man this is gorgeous. There's more atmospheric Latin pop balladry out there, I just don't know it yet
	8:33pm Flash Strap: That Meridian Bros record is crazy good, highest possible recommendation to pick it up and spend some time with it, extremely rewarding
	8:34pm Flash Strap: @LD: Duo Ouro Negro is a huge well of beautiful Portuguese language Angolan pop. one of the best international groups of the era, imo
	8:35pm βrian: @Flash Strap: Are you ever going to update this playlist theme to an accessible one? It's really awful! If you value readability think about contrast, at least! Doesn't WFMU have any kind of common-sense UI guidelines?? Oy! (Well, given the main WFMU page, maybe not. But still … ) Rant over, but I'd love to be able to read your playlist without having to manually disable CSS!
	8:35pm Flash Strap: this whole Picci LP is gold, though i don't know anything else from the label
	8:36pm hyde: @Flash it sounds great!
	8:36pm Flash Strap: @brian: probably a better forum to air your grievance pal, like an email
	8:36pm βrian: Nice noise, in any case.
	8:36pm Little Danny: chill out βrian
	8:37pm northguineahills: Ok, leaving work, thanks Flash!
	8:38pm hyde: hahaha. i had this record in college (i think i bought it for 50 cents) and we used to put on the strobe light and crank this tune
	8:38pm northguineahills: (dug everything)
	8:38pm Flash Strap: Safest, happiest travels, NGH
	8:38pm doctorjazz: Great stuff, gotta go. Big snow storm here in NY area, people coming to see me told me it took 2 hours for a drive that usually takes 20 minutes. Not looking forward to the drive to Joisey. .. Oy!
	8:38pm βrian: @Litle Donny: Thanks for your indifference.
	8:38pm hyde: safe travels@doctorjazz
	8:39pm passiflora:
	8:39pm Flash Strap: Safe safe driving for you please Doc
	8:40pm Little Danny: @βrian: take that shit to email bro Bad vibes during an essential show that cultivates good will
	8:40pm passiflora: cherry blossom emoji
	8:40pm Flash Strap: @brian: i respectfully request you never diss my man dan on these boards again, and please remember that i am trying to do live radio not write code
	8:42pm passiflora: this is an actual room, where we come and go. think of what you will bring to that room as you walk in
	8:43pm Flash Strap: yesterday was the first day I became aware of this Ultimate Spinach LP, had never heard it before
	8:43pm Flash Strap: still have not really listened to the rest of it, can't get over this song's perfect dreadful psych
	🥁 8:45pm chresti: adjusting the contrast might help
	8:45pm hyde: this is pretty much the only thing i ever played from this LP. there's a couple other ok tunes, but this is kinda the album
	8:45pm Flash Strap: @Hyde: that's the basic idea i have of it as well
	8:47pm Little Danny: @hyde me too. I seem to remember that their Behold & See LP is kinda a one-track affair, too. Brilliant segue by the way
	🥁 8:48pm chresti: I find it easy on the eye and refreshing! Gypsy psych spinach
	8:48pm Flash Strap: I was thinking of trying to find that record too – it has at least one killer track? that'd be enough for me
	8:49pm βrian: Yup, for sure. But making your playlist available to all is a policy decsion. It has nothing to do with code. I just think it's something that's been blithely overlooked. It's only frustrating because access to the conversation is limited.
	8:51pm Little Danny: You might start by clarifying accessibility a bit, but like I said, take that shit to email bro. I have no problem seeing or interacting with Flash's playlists and comments btw
	🥁 8:52pm chresti: tipping the screen changes the contrast too!
	8:52pm coelacanth∅: i've got the same general attitude about ultimate spinach. 2 albums i have and a few shining songs and some sort of trying really hard to be far out skipables.
	9:02pm Flash Strap: curious what you think: does Melvoin or Denjean have the better Lay lady lay moog-style?
	9:04pm melinda: I would have to listen to them both again to decide. Maybe Denjean. I'm just happy that there is more than one.
	9:04pm zonk ludlow: I'd give the nod to Denjean. Both are mighty fine though.
	9:05pm coelacanth∅: (not here for the earlier one)
	9:05pm Flash Strap: i agree, i give it to Denjean too
	9:06pm Flash Strap: would love to know who programmed / played the moog on that Denny LP
	9:07pm Flash Strap: Altho, Beaver&Krause consulted on the Melvoin album, so that version has their involvement going for it
	9:08pm david_: I liked the Melvoin one better actually
	9:09pm Flash Strap: Hi david! glad we're not all ganging up on Melvoin in favor of Denjean. they are both pretty good
	9:15pm Flash Strap: This killer watts lp is mostly pretty subpar imo but I like this abstract cut
	9:17pm Dean: I'll guess the arranger on that Denny album played the Moog, Clark Gassman. He played it a year later no another record: https://www.discogs.com/Ralph-Carmichael-Clark-Gassman-The-Electric-Symphony-The-Moog-Synthesizer/release/879772
	9:17pm Dean: ^on another
	9:18pm Flash Strap: Hi Dean! that makes sense
	9:18pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, in 1971 I bought the first VU album for a dollar at Newberry's, a local discount store. When I got it home the sealed album had a 007 soundtrack inside. The following week, my mom took me back to Newberry's to exchange the album. They didn't have any more of the banana record, so I got the first Ultimate Spinach record. I took it home and put it on the turntable. After a few songs my sister and I started laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes. Not long after that I threw it onto the roof of our house.
	9:18pm Flash Strap: i don't know if Denny was even present for that record, very likely not
	9:20pm Flash Strap: Walter Sear handling the moog on this Sid Bass. they did a couple things together, i believe
	9:21pm geezerette: We're off to dinner. Yay for archive! Have a great trip, Evan. :)
	9:21pm Flash Strap: @Franco: that is just hilarious
	9:21pm Flash Strap: Have a splendid dinner Geeze, and I'll see ya in December!
	9:22pm hyde: @Franco amazing
	9:24pm Flash Strap: surprisingly out-there take on Windmills
	9:25pm Franco Twinkie: This show sounds super! I just got home so I missed quite a bit.
	🥁 9:26pm chresti: working on the railroad
	9:26pm Flash Strap: Robert Margouleff, later of TONTO and fresh off Moog Mass (featured last week) handled the Moog on this Lothar record, which is as an album similar to Spinach in terms of consistency
	🥁 9:27pm chresti: (I hear)
	9:28pm Flash Strap: oh, is it stealthy in the composition? I hadn't noticed
	🥁 9:28pm chresti: I remember Machines
	9:28pm Flash Strap: Thanks Franco!
	9:31pm Flash Strap: Paul Beaver on Moog for Moog Rock
	🥁 9:32pm chresti: just at the beginning, reminded me of that song
	9:32pm Flash Strap: Beaver's Moogin' on Zodiac too. Zodiac = Mort Garson
	9:33pm hyde: this is a classic record
	9:33pm melinda: Pisces, that's me.
	9:34pm Flash Strap: me too Melinda! "careful not to bruise a single second"
	9:34pm coelacanth∅: Franco (@9.18) hahaha! ...kinda like Don Felder trying to play heavy metal or something! like, it must be a joke! i do like a few tracks though - with reservations.
	9:35pm passiflora: this is nice
	9:35pm Dean: Since 1969, Rachmaninoff has enjoyed a 180 degree revival. Where once his music was treated, as by Les Baxter, as gussied up pop, it's now respected for its virtuosity and post-Romantic sophistication way beyond mere melody.
	🥁 9:36pm chresti: so is my dad-a real slippery one
	9:36pm Franco Twinkie: Flash, Last week when you played TONTO, I googled the album, and when I saw Malcolm Cecil's picture I went WAAA!!! I use to see him at the gym in Pasadena on an irregular basis.
	9:36pm Little Danny: re:Rachmaninoff, what happened in 1969?
	9:37pm coelacanth∅: i wonder if that zodiac album has a song for aquarius with a very prominent pisces rising!
	🥁 9:38pm chresti: pisces dad
	9:38pm Flash Strap: Baxter was really serious, to the point of snobbish, about compostion and art music, a scholar of stravinsky in particular, and it always struck me funny how poppy and simple he went with that record. i love it though
	9:38pm Flash Strap: @Franco: whoa whoa whoa
	9:38pm coelacanth∅: (pisces dad and sister)
	9:39pm Flash Strap: @LD: good question
	9:41pm Flash Strap: very cool record, this. "recorded in inspiring and remote outdoor locations using a nomadic studio including a "lunchbox" modular system" dig the cover: f4.bcbits.com...
	9:41pm melinda: I dig the forest bath.
	9:42pm Franco Twinkie: I found the Zodiac album not to long ago at Gimme Gimme in Highland Park. Dan, the owner stocks real good stuff.
	9:42pm Flash Strap: I want to go to Gimme Gimme!
	9:43pm hyde: @Franco i know that dude
	9:43pm still b/p: Good eeeevening. Any discussion here tonight about Morricone interview that had to be withdrawn by German Playboy after he griped much of it -- including semi-inflammatory remarks --- was bogus? And the journalist has pretty much acknowledged that. Weird.
	9:43pm melinda: I think that's the record store Marc Maron used to mention on his podcast.
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: presumably you don't mean highland park,nj.
	9:44pm Flash Strap: very immersive sound space on this record. you can close your eyes and see all around you inside this track
	9:44pm Doug Schulkind: Wow, Dan is still doing Gimme Gimme? He was one of WFMU’s earliest and longtime dealers at our record fair.
	9:45pm Flash Strap: Hi B/P! i haven't heard anything about that, sounds weird!
	9:45pm Flash Strap: I gotta go to that fair this year, enough is enough
	9:45pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, Melinda. Mark goes there a lot.
	9:45pm melinda: @b/p I read about that! He had him saying Quentin Tarantino was a cretin, among other things. Not being a huge fan of QT I thought that was kinda funny.
	9:47pm Flash Strap: i like most of his flicks but I agree it is funny and fair to say he is a cretin
	9:48pm coelacanth∅: i wonder if that story has any relation to Fabio playing a whole Morricone set today
	9:48pm melinda: @Flash right? I was disappointed when I read on and Morricone denied it.
	9:49pm melinda: @coel sorry I missed that.
	9:49pm Dean: Nothing in particular in '69. My point was that around that time Rachmaninoff was pop fodder, seemingly doomed to irrelevance as a "real" classical composer. Since then, and based on my fairly regular attention to reviews of an endless stream of new recordings of his work, that focus has shifted. What was once a guilty pleasure -- the second piano concerto, for instance -- is no longer a source of shame, pace Uncle Michael!
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: Morricone may've had second thoughts about dissing someone in the industry he works within
	9:51pm Flash Strap: that may have as much to do with the overall trend for doing pop and novelty version of "classical" as anything to do with Rachmaninoff in particular
	9:51pm still b/p: Up to you, melinda, to grant an interview, make the definitive declaration on QT, and then reinforce: "I'm melinda, and I approved this message!"
	9:52pm Franco Twinkie: Dan moved out here awhile ago. First he had this little place on York Blvd, then he moved to a bigger place on Figueroa. After you visit Dan, you can walk up the street to Triple Beam for pizza.
	9:52pm melinda: @b/p haha
	9:53pm zonk ludlow: Thanks for a wonderful show. Safe, enjoyable travels to France Evan.
	9:54pm Little Danny: Hey, it's Thursday night: wfmu.org... Hope to see y'all one stop over!
	9:55pm melinda: Great show, Flash! You're going to France? Nice.
	9:56pm hyde: thanks! have fun on your trip
	9:57pm still b/p: There's a baker/confectioner in Nice....If you make it there, I need a little something in particular.
	🥁 9:57pm chresti: Thanks Flash! Fantastic!
	9:58pm Dean: I don't think so. I think Rachmaninoff is sui generis in this regard. What I would need to support my suspicion is contemporaneous (c. 1969) commentary about recordings of his music by classical critics and aficionados. I don't have that at hand. But my gut feeling -- take it for what it's worth -- is that the pop-ification of Rach at the time was poo-poo'd by many who leveled blame at Rach for not being immune to pop. That's different for, say, Bach or Debussy, whose works were also pop-ified, but the results of which didn't cast a shadow on their "real" music.
	9:58pm Flash Strap: Thanks all! much much love – see you in Danny's Cool Blue House, and then again in 2 weeks
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! and do have an incredible journey, won't you?!
	9:59pm Flash Strap: my gut tells me you're quite right dean
	10:00pm Flash Strap: esp. the comparison to debussy
	10:00pm Flash Strap: i'll try, C.! thank you friend
	10:02pm Dean: Right. Debussy survives appropriation (Tomita?). So, to my mind, does Bach, among others.

	🥁 6:58pm chresti: Howdee!
	🥁 6:59pm chresti: Nice collage!
	🥁 7:00pm chresti: Are those speakers or ashtrays?
	7:00pm Flash Strap: Hi Chresti!
	7:01pm listener james from westwood: Blind Tourist makes for a hell of an intro for this show. How do, all!
	7:01pm Flash Strap: Thanks, I did that for an article about plant music a year or so ago and it seemed to complement the show tonight. they're speakers
	7:01pm Flash Strap: Hi James!
	🥁 7:02pm chresti: I like how you furnished the room
	7:02pm Flash Strap: what;s that about a blind tourist
	7:03pm hyde: hiya
	7:03pm Flash Strap: Hiya Hyde!
	7:04pm doctorjazz: LOVE this Threadgill (though I've always thought the intonation was a bit off... On purpose?). Great later when it picks up steam. Of, and hip!
	🥁 7:04pm chresti: sounds interestsing
	7:05pm hyde: i love this record
	7:05pm Flash Strap: this is still pretty much the only Henry Threadgill album I really know – somebody in these comments is a huge Threadgill lover but I can't recall who, is it you Doc? and, Hi Doc!
	7:05pm Flash Strap: @hyde: me too
	🥁 7:06pm chresti: what kind of music do plants like?
	7:06pm hyde: also love the Air records circa the same time
	🥁 7:06pm chresti: this is so good!
	7:07pm hyde: (or slightly earlier)
	7:07pm Flash Strap: i honestly don't really know, chresti. i know I like music that people make "for" plants, like Plantasia, but I never really learned more about what tones plants respond to
	7:08pm Flash Strap: What are some good ones to pick up, Hyde? I have no Air
	7:08pm Michael 98145: @chresti, anything that leafs you speechless ?
	7:09pm Flash Strap: re: Air, Threadgill – big blind spot here, which I love to have so I can fill it in
	7:09pm Flash Strap: Hi Michael!
	7:11pm hyde: @Flash i like Open Air Suit a lot. Montreaux Suisse is good and has lots of hubkaphone
	7:11pm melinda: hi everyone!
	7:11pm Flash Strap: Open Air Suit has a great cover, so i was hoping you'd say that: img.discogs.com...
	7:11pm hyde: oh, and Air Time is really good too
	7:12pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda!
	7:12pm Michael 98145: sounds like our friends back east are getting quite a snowfall. how about down in ExR land?
	7:12pm Flash Strap: i will get ahold of them all, Hyde, thank you for hipping me
	7:12pm hyde: @Flash i have that on LP!
	7:14pm Flash Strap: nice
	7:14pm Michael 98145: hirsute air suit
	7:16pm Flash Strap: Bebey makes such beautiful music
	7:19pm Flash Strap: in rapture to the song
	7:20pm zonk ludlow: Hiya Flash & Explorers. First time in a while I've been able to listen live and I get treated to some Francis Bebey, life is good.
	7:21pm Flash Strap: Hi Zonk! been missing you around these parts, very nice to see you this evening
	7:21pm Flash Strap: how are things over where you are?
	7:23pm listener james from westwood: Ain't no mistaking Bebey!
	7:23pm doctorjazz: Big Threadgill fan, especially his 80's Sextette records!
	7:25pm Flash Strap: @James: you ain't kiddin
	7:25pm Michael 98145: { liked that a lot }
	7:26pm Flash Strap: Me too, Michael, me too
	7:26pm doctorjazz: I'd send you some Threadgill, but Imostly have it on vinyl (at least the early stuff, Air. . Do have later cds I could send, though.
	7:26pm Flash Strap: @Doc: ok i gotta dig into those too then
	7:26pm geezerette: Hullo, Evan and seekers of adventure!
	7:27pm Doug Schulkind: There’s some post-doctoral level segueing goin’ on over here.
	🥁 7:27pm chresti: whenever if ever I explore my stars - There was a lively discussion yesterday about the star clicking business (as Kim Sorise might put it),)for me, it way beats writing it down
	7:27pm Flash Strap: @Doc: feel free! in the meantime, or either way, I'll be hunting
	7:28pm Flash Strap: Hi Geeze! It's not a true adventure till we have you in our crew
	7:28pm Michael 98145: some of us just like seeing all the golden stars
	🥁 7:28pm chresti: HAHA Michael!!
	7:28pm melinda: I just scrolled down and saw the rest of the art. Flash you are a fantastic collagist!
	7:28pm Flash Strap: Doug! ah thanks, it was hard but it was worth it, getting that PhD in Psegueology
	7:29pm geezerette: Awww...shucks... :)
	7:30pm Michael 98145: i remember when the psegue was going to be the vehicle of the future -
	7:30pm melinda: @chresti I click away but don't explore my stars enough.
	7:30pm Flash Strap: @melinda: Thanks friend. I'm blushin'
	7:30pm geezerette: Melinda, right?
	🥁 7:31pm chresti: @Doug,no kidding!
	7:31pm Michael 98145: whoa, this is turning quadraphonic
	7:31pm geezerette: Deep Sunrise is so beautiful!
	7:32pm Flash Strap: I've been meaning to get this track on the show for some time! finally doing it and it feels very good. Angel Rada is a very special artist
	7:32pm hyde: this is super cool
	7:33pm geezerette: Being played on organ it's like seeing a silent film in a cathedral.
	7:34pm Michael 98145: climb every cathedral
	7:34pm geezerette: Howdy, Hyde!
	7:35pm geezerette: Michael! :D
	🥁 7:35pm chresti: @melinda-yeah! my stars are piling up in a cabinet.
	7:36pm melinda: I still have little scraps of paper from other radio stations and before I discovered the click-star system here. I did start writing down some names and titles of music that is mellow and soothing, since it a genre I seem to need a lot of, and I can't tell from my favorites which ones those might be.
	7:38pm Flash Strap: i really like his weird little stuttering note clusters, very interesting technique
	7:38pm hyde: hi geezerette!
	7:40pm Michael 98145: Phase 4 ! :)
	7:40pm melinda: I wouldn't have thought this song would do well with a Moog treatment but I love it.
	7:41pm geezerette: Hyde, any adventures in film viewing?
	7:41pm Flash Strap: i agree, melinda, very unlikely in a way but I think rather charming and dreamy
	7:42pm passiflora: Hi all, happy to be here. Came at the right time
	7:43pm melinda: hi passiflora!
	7:43pm zonk ludlow: Melinda, Flash I totally concur, it is a thing of true beauty.
	7:43pm hyde: @geezerette nothing too exciting lately except i did just move into a place last week and Friday we got our FIOS set up so i have Turner Classic Movies now! but too busy to do much but watch bits and pieces
	7:43pm passiflora: hi melinda!
	7:45pm geezerette: Hyde, that's great! Congratulations on having moved!
	7:46pm melinda: When I see Henry Threadgill I think Kenneth Threadgill, a country singer and bar owner of the early Austin music scene and namesake of a local favorite restaurant, so I expect quite different sounds to come out. I'll have to investigate Henry further.
	7:46pm hyde: @geez thanks! will be better when it's all unpacked
	7:48pm Michael 98145: France? wow - where ?
	7:48pm passiflora: I know the name Threadgill's from the Atheist Experience, based in Austin
	7:50pm geezerette: this is sort of sunday morning noir, funny combination!
	7:51pm passiflora: synthesizer taking off like an insect there
	7:52pm Flash Strap: @michael: a few areas, Nantes, Tours, Rennes, Lyon, Marseilles, Geneva
	7:52pm Flash Strap: A belated but very warm hello, Passiflora!
	7:53pm passiflora: hello, Evan! :)
	7:53pm melinda: @passiflora interesting connection. I think I've heard of the Atheist Experience but didn't know it was Austin-based. I remember when Madalyn Murray O'Hair ran the American Atheist Center there, we stopped by once with my dad after seeing a movie down the street.
	7:54pm passiflora: That's something...and both experiences might feel like leaving a theater. I felt that after leaving the dream house in new york the other day.
	7:55pm Michael 98145: well, have a great time en France !
	7:56pm Flash Strap: gracias
	7:56pm Flash Strap: boy this record is really something, totally engrossing imo
	7:58pm passiflora: It's disjointed enough to make you pay attention
	7:59pm geezerette: Compelling!
	7:59pm Flash Strap: yeah exactly. this is like plant music, but for growth stimulation of the human brain
	8:00pm passiflora: that's a good way of putting it
	8:03pm northguineahills: hellos
	8:03pm passiflora: 'llo!
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Hi and hellos NGH
	8:04pm northguineahills: loving this Sinigaglia
	8:05pm Flash Strap: me too, really interesting piece of work
	8:07pm Flash Strap: need more Sinigaglia in my library actually
	8:08pm coelacanth∅: aloha Evan and explorers
	8:09pm Flash Strap: aloha Coelacanth, how goes it?
	8:11pm passiflora: I just looked up coelacanth and it probably goes with most of the explorers sounds here
	8:12pm Flash Strap: this Joe Harriott w/ D'Silva is just as good as his Indo-fusions collaborations with Mayer
	8:13pm Flash Strap: @passiflora: oh, definitely
	8:14pm passiflora: Jaipur, the pink city
	8:15pm hyde: i don't think i've ever heard this
	8:16pm geezerette: Liking Jaipur a lot. I want lamb biryani though.
	8:16pm Flash Strap: he's such a good sax player, just beautiful
	8:17pm geezerette: absolutely!
	8:22pm Flash Strap: I've mentioned this before, but this is pretty much my favorite record of 2017
	8:24pm Flash Strap: I am your father. Mother too so cool. i'm pretty sure he's describing some aspect/s of South American music history,but my spanish is not that good
	8:25pm passiflora: an understanding, yet firm baseline
	8:28pm Little Danny: Hey Evan and fellow explorrrers, glad to be here
	8:28pm Flash Strap: hey Little Danny !
	8:29pm geezerette: I like that shimmering cascade. Howdy, LD!
	🥁 8:30pm chresti: this is crazy good
	8:32pm Little Danny: Oh man this is gorgeous. There's more atmospheric Latin pop balladry out there, I just don't know it yet
	8:33pm Flash Strap: That Meridian Bros record is crazy good, highest possible recommendation to pick it up and spend some time with it, extremely rewarding
	8:34pm Flash Strap: @LD: Duo Ouro Negro is a huge well of beautiful Portuguese language Angolan pop. one of the best international groups of the era, imo
	8:35pm βrian: @Flash Strap: Are you ever going to update this playlist theme to an accessible one? It's really awful! If you value readability think about contrast, at least! Doesn't WFMU have any kind of common-sense UI guidelines?? Oy! (Well, given the main WFMU page, maybe not. But still … ) Rant over, but I'd love to be able to read your playlist without having to manually disable CSS!
	8:35pm Flash Strap: this whole Picci LP is gold, though i don't know anything else from the label
	8:36pm hyde: @Flash it sounds great!
	8:36pm Flash Strap: @brian: probably a better forum to air your grievance pal, like an email
	8:36pm βrian: Nice noise, in any case.
	8:36pm Little Danny: chill out βrian
	8:37pm northguineahills: Ok, leaving work, thanks Flash!
	8:38pm hyde: hahaha. i had this record in college (i think i bought it for 50 cents) and we used to put on the strobe light and crank this tune
	8:38pm northguineahills: (dug everything)
	8:38pm Flash Strap: Safest, happiest travels, NGH
	8:38pm doctorjazz: Great stuff, gotta go. Big snow storm here in NY area, people coming to see me told me it took 2 hours for a drive that usually takes 20 minutes. Not looking forward to the drive to Joisey. .. Oy!
	8:38pm βrian: @Litle Donny: Thanks for your indifference.
	8:38pm hyde: safe travels@doctorjazz
	8:39pm passiflora:
	8:39pm Flash Strap: Safe safe driving for you please Doc
	8:40pm Little Danny: @βrian: take that shit to email bro Bad vibes during an essential show that cultivates good will
	8:40pm passiflora: cherry blossom emoji
	8:40pm Flash Strap: @brian: i respectfully request you never diss my man dan on these boards again, and please remember that i am trying to do live radio not write code
	8:42pm passiflora: this is an actual room, where we come and go. think of what you will bring to that room as you walk in
	8:43pm Flash Strap: yesterday was the first day I became aware of this Ultimate Spinach LP, had never heard it before
	8:43pm Flash Strap: still have not really listened to the rest of it, can't get over this song's perfect dreadful psych
	🥁 8:45pm chresti: adjusting the contrast might help
	8:45pm hyde: this is pretty much the only thing i ever played from this LP. there's a couple other ok tunes, but this is kinda the album
	8:45pm Flash Strap: @Hyde: that's the basic idea i have of it as well
	8:47pm Little Danny: @hyde me too. I seem to remember that their Behold & See LP is kinda a one-track affair, too. Brilliant segue by the way
	🥁 8:48pm chresti: I find it easy on the eye and refreshing! Gypsy psych spinach
	8:48pm Flash Strap: I was thinking of trying to find that record too – it has at least one killer track? that'd be enough for me
	8:49pm βrian: Yup, for sure. But making your playlist available to all is a policy decsion. It has nothing to do with code. I just think it's something that's been blithely overlooked. It's only frustrating because access to the conversation is limited.
	8:51pm Little Danny: You might start by clarifying accessibility a bit, but like I said, take that shit to email bro. I have no problem seeing or interacting with Flash's playlists and comments btw
	🥁 8:52pm chresti: tipping the screen changes the contrast too!
	8:52pm coelacanth∅: i've got the same general attitude about ultimate spinach. 2 albums i have and a few shining songs and some sort of trying really hard to be far out skipables.
	9:02pm Flash Strap: curious what you think: does Melvoin or Denjean have the better Lay lady lay moog-style?
	9:04pm melinda: I would have to listen to them both again to decide. Maybe Denjean. I'm just happy that there is more than one.
	9:04pm zonk ludlow: I'd give the nod to Denjean. Both are mighty fine though.
	9:05pm coelacanth∅: (not here for the earlier one)
	9:05pm Flash Strap: i agree, i give it to Denjean too
	9:06pm Flash Strap: would love to know who programmed / played the moog on that Denny LP
	9:07pm Flash Strap: Altho, Beaver&Krause consulted on the Melvoin album, so that version has their involvement going for it
	9:08pm david_: I liked the Melvoin one better actually
	9:09pm Flash Strap: Hi david! glad we're not all ganging up on Melvoin in favor of Denjean. they are both pretty good
	9:15pm Flash Strap: This killer watts lp is mostly pretty subpar imo but I like this abstract cut
	9:17pm Dean: I'll guess the arranger on that Denny album played the Moog, Clark Gassman. He played it a year later no another record: https://www.discogs.com/Ralph-Carmichael-Clark-Gassman-The-Electric-Symphony-The-Moog-Synthesizer/release/879772
	9:17pm Dean: ^on another
	9:18pm Flash Strap: Hi Dean! that makes sense
	9:18pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, in 1971 I bought the first VU album for a dollar at Newberry's, a local discount store. When I got it home the sealed album had a 007 soundtrack inside. The following week, my mom took me back to Newberry's to exchange the album. They didn't have any more of the banana record, so I got the first Ultimate Spinach record. I took it home and put it on the turntable. After a few songs my sister and I started laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes. Not long after that I threw it onto the roof of our house.
	9:18pm Flash Strap: i don't know if Denny was even present for that record, very likely not
	9:20pm Flash Strap: Walter Sear handling the moog on this Sid Bass. they did a couple things together, i believe
	9:21pm geezerette: We're off to dinner. Yay for archive! Have a great trip, Evan. :)
	9:21pm Flash Strap: @Franco: that is just hilarious
	9:21pm Flash Strap: Have a splendid dinner Geeze, and I'll see ya in December!
	9:22pm hyde: @Franco amazing
	9:24pm Flash Strap: surprisingly out-there take on Windmills
	9:25pm Franco Twinkie: This show sounds super! I just got home so I missed quite a bit.
	🥁 9:26pm chresti: working on the railroad
	9:26pm Flash Strap: Robert Margouleff, later of TONTO and fresh off Moog Mass (featured last week) handled the Moog on this Lothar record, which is as an album similar to Spinach in terms of consistency
	🥁 9:27pm chresti: (I hear)
	9:28pm Flash Strap: oh, is it stealthy in the composition? I hadn't noticed
	🥁 9:28pm chresti: I remember Machines
	9:28pm Flash Strap: Thanks Franco!
	9:31pm Flash Strap: Paul Beaver on Moog for Moog Rock
	🥁 9:32pm chresti: just at the beginning, reminded me of that song
	9:32pm Flash Strap: Beaver's Moogin' on Zodiac too. Zodiac = Mort Garson
	9:33pm hyde: this is a classic record
	9:33pm melinda: Pisces, that's me.
	9:34pm Flash Strap: me too Melinda! "careful not to bruise a single second"
	9:34pm coelacanth∅: Franco (@9.18) hahaha! ...kinda like Don Felder trying to play heavy metal or something! like, it must be a joke! i do like a few tracks though - with reservations.
	9:35pm passiflora: this is nice
	9:35pm Dean: Since 1969, Rachmaninoff has enjoyed a 180 degree revival. Where once his music was treated, as by Les Baxter, as gussied up pop, it's now respected for its virtuosity and post-Romantic sophistication way beyond mere melody.
	🥁 9:36pm chresti: so is my dad-a real slippery one
	9:36pm Franco Twinkie: Flash, Last week when you played TONTO, I googled the album, and when I saw Malcolm Cecil's picture I went WAAA!!! I use to see him at the gym in Pasadena on an irregular basis.
	9:36pm Little Danny: re:Rachmaninoff, what happened in 1969?
	9:37pm coelacanth∅: i wonder if that zodiac album has a song for aquarius with a very prominent pisces rising!
	🥁 9:38pm chresti: pisces dad
	9:38pm Flash Strap: Baxter was really serious, to the point of snobbish, about compostion and art music, a scholar of stravinsky in particular, and it always struck me funny how poppy and simple he went with that record. i love it though
	9:38pm Flash Strap: @Franco: whoa whoa whoa
	9:38pm coelacanth∅: (pisces dad and sister)
	9:39pm Flash Strap: @LD: good question
	9:41pm Flash Strap: very cool record, this. "recorded in inspiring and remote outdoor locations using a nomadic studio including a "lunchbox" modular system" dig the cover: f4.bcbits.com...
	9:41pm melinda: I dig the forest bath.
	9:42pm Franco Twinkie: I found the Zodiac album not to long ago at Gimme Gimme in Highland Park. Dan, the owner stocks real good stuff.
	9:42pm Flash Strap: I want to go to Gimme Gimme!
	9:43pm hyde: @Franco i know that dude
	9:43pm still b/p: Good eeeevening. Any discussion here tonight about Morricone interview that had to be withdrawn by German Playboy after he griped much of it -- including semi-inflammatory remarks --- was bogus? And the journalist has pretty much acknowledged that. Weird.
	9:43pm melinda: I think that's the record store Marc Maron used to mention on his podcast.
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: presumably you don't mean highland park,nj.
	9:44pm Flash Strap: very immersive sound space on this record. you can close your eyes and see all around you inside this track
	9:44pm Doug Schulkind: Wow, Dan is still doing Gimme Gimme? He was one of WFMU’s earliest and longtime dealers at our record fair.
	9:45pm Flash Strap: Hi B/P! i haven't heard anything about that, sounds weird!
	9:45pm Flash Strap: I gotta go to that fair this year, enough is enough
	9:45pm Franco Twinkie: Yes, Melinda. Mark goes there a lot.
	9:45pm melinda: @b/p I read about that! He had him saying Quentin Tarantino was a cretin, among other things. Not being a huge fan of QT I thought that was kinda funny.
	9:47pm Flash Strap: i like most of his flicks but I agree it is funny and fair to say he is a cretin
	9:48pm coelacanth∅: i wonder if that story has any relation to Fabio playing a whole Morricone set today
	9:48pm melinda: @Flash right? I was disappointed when I read on and Morricone denied it.
	9:49pm melinda: @coel sorry I missed that.
	9:49pm Dean: Nothing in particular in '69. My point was that around that time Rachmaninoff was pop fodder, seemingly doomed to irrelevance as a "real" classical composer. Since then, and based on my fairly regular attention to reviews of an endless stream of new recordings of his work, that focus has shifted. What was once a guilty pleasure -- the second piano concerto, for instance -- is no longer a source of shame, pace Uncle Michael!
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: Morricone may've had second thoughts about dissing someone in the industry he works within
	9:51pm Flash Strap: that may have as much to do with the overall trend for doing pop and novelty version of "classical" as anything to do with Rachmaninoff in particular
	9:51pm still b/p: Up to you, melinda, to grant an interview, make the definitive declaration on QT, and then reinforce: "I'm melinda, and I approved this message!"
	9:52pm Franco Twinkie: Dan moved out here awhile ago. First he had this little place on York Blvd, then he moved to a bigger place on Figueroa. After you visit Dan, you can walk up the street to Triple Beam for pizza.
	9:52pm melinda: @b/p haha
	9:53pm zonk ludlow: Thanks for a wonderful show. Safe, enjoyable travels to France Evan.
	9:54pm Little Danny: Hey, it's Thursday night: wfmu.org... Hope to see y'all one stop over!
	9:55pm melinda: Great show, Flash! You're going to France? Nice.
	9:56pm hyde: thanks! have fun on your trip
	9:57pm still b/p: There's a baker/confectioner in Nice....If you make it there, I need a little something in particular.
	🥁 9:57pm chresti: Thanks Flash! Fantastic!
	9:58pm Dean: I don't think so. I think Rachmaninoff is sui generis in this regard. What I would need to support my suspicion is contemporaneous (c. 1969) commentary about recordings of his music by classical critics and aficionados. I don't have that at hand. But my gut feeling -- take it for what it's worth -- is that the pop-ification of Rach at the time was poo-poo'd by many who leveled blame at Rach for not being immune to pop. That's different for, say, Bach or Debussy, whose works were also pop-ified, but the results of which didn't cast a shadow on their "real" music.
	9:58pm Flash Strap: Thanks all! much much love – see you in Danny's Cool Blue House, and then again in 2 weeks
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! and do have an incredible journey, won't you?!
	9:59pm Flash Strap: my gut tells me you're quite right dean
	10:00pm Flash Strap: esp. the comparison to debussy
	10:00pm Flash Strap: i'll try, C.! thank you friend
	10:02pm Dean: Right. Debussy survives appropriation (Tomita?). So, to my mind, does Bach, among others.
