	6:56pm Flash Strap: Hi Chresti!
	6:58pm hyde: hiya
	6:58pm Flash Strap: Just one second here and we're rolling
	6:59pm Flash Strap: Hyde! hi!
	6:59pm listener james from westwood: How do, Exploratorium!
	7:00pm Flash Strap: Hi James!
	7:02pm Flash Strap: I love this recording
	7:03pm Flash Strap: woops, never mind the gratuitous nature sounds
	🥁 7:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Radio deeeep in the Depression...
	🥁 7:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...between King Kong & Robert Johnson ...Marx Bros. Dracula & Frankenstein are defining Horror....
	7:06pm Flash Strap: Hi Rev! - for sure
	7:06pm Flash Strap: weird story about Puddin Head there
	7:07pm Franco Twinkie: hey Flash! Such jaunty music for a miserably hot afternoon.
	7:07pm Flash Strap: killer melody on Blvd of Broken Dreams, seriously eerie imperial march vibe
	7:07pm Flash Strap: Hi Franco! Hot out there?
	7:08pm Flash Strap: giggalette
	7:09pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, brutal.
	7:09pm Flash Strap: humid here too, insane
	7:10pm Flash Strap: nuts about mutts, holy hell ya gotta love it
	7:11pm hyde: i'm not really nuts about mutts. i am bats about cats, tho.
	7:11pm Flash Strap: every kinda bow-wow-wow
	7:11pm Freaky Tiki: Somehow this music is bouncy & creepy at the same time
	7:12pm fleep: Dodgers lose, radio begins. Howdy, Flash, too hot to shuffle anywhere.
	7:13pm Flash Strap: Hi Freaky! yeah for sure, there's a dark tinge around a lot of this chipper depression era music, Paper Moon-style
	7:13pm Flash Strap: Hello royal Fleep!
	7:13pm listener james from westwood: I just happened to watch an ice-cream-cake assembly line video with one of the earlier tracks on in the background, and it was kind of perfect.
	7:14pm Flash Strap: haha excellent James
	7:15pm Franco Twinkie: James, could you share that link? I would love to see an ice cream cake factory.
	7:16pm Flash Strap: cooling off with some factory footage
	7:16pm passiflora: making tahini "The word tahini appeared in English by the late 1930s"
	🥁 7:16pm chresti: Lavena is a good name for a cat
	7:17pm Flash Strap: Hi Passiflora! I can imagine Slim Gaillard working it into Yep Roc Heresay
	7:18pm Flash Strap: similar to Blvd, this one has a real imperial march feel as well, and I think Salah Ragab may have quoted it in one of his
	7:18pm Flash Strap: Very correct, Chresti, i like that a lot
	🥁 7:19pm chresti: When I hear Shuffle off to Buffalo, I think of a Munsters episode where they take a train to Buffalo
	🥁 7:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They were past caring about how exposed anyone felt about the need for optimistic dreams... & yet the despair had to be acknowledged ...I always say about The Beatles - coming out of PostWar North England - they had a very particular alchemy of Blues & Futurist sort of speed rush...a very hard balance to perfect I think...
	🥁 7:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & of course Politically - I'm always pointing out WWII followed the Depression. It's not obscure what happens - & has happened again ...
	7:22pm hyde: summer feels gone here tonight in Boston. it's like barely 70 degrees for some odd reason. almost fall-like.
	7:22pm Franco Twinkie: What were those ice cream cakes with the bizzare tv commercials in New York? I saw one really cheap video spot that had this cake with a face flying around in outer space with a horrible cartoon voice. On a day that it was freezing outside!
	7:22pm still b/p: What's this on? Shellac? Or transferred from same? Did you already explain why it's so non-hissy-scratchy?
	7:22pm Flash Strap: @rev: yes
	7:23pm Flash Strap: Hi B/P: it's on a hindsight records LP, 1979. it does sound pretty decent!
	7:25pm Franco Twinkie: When summer is gone I will toot a party horn.
	🥁 7:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great point. They could probably digitally EQ it all up now...Presumably a big network budget??...
	7:26pm listener james from westwood: Franco: At least I think these are ice cream cakes. A minute-long clip in this tweet: twitter.com...
	🥁 7:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Man - going from 90 & humid straight to leaves turning ...it's too grim in New England - knowing what's coming...
	🥁 7:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - assembly line maybe work with Raymond ??...
	7:31pm Franco Twinkie: James, thanks! I love the end shot with the bin full of ruined cakes in the trash.
	🥁 7:33pm chresti: Back in those days, the main source of entertainment was the radio
	7:33pm still b/p: revrab -- Now you put a dollar or a watermelon wedge in the "too soon mentioned and lamented" jar!
	7:34pm Doug Schulkind: Behold the glory that is the restless yen of Flash Strap.
	🥁 7:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminded a bit of Antonin Artaud in the 30s (?) making me feel he waste predicting a Psychedelic Rawk Show with his philosophical & technical ideals in Theater & It's Double...
	7:34pm hyde: ooh, this is great
	🥁 7:34pm chresti: I look forward to the end of summer.
	🥁 7:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just as Robert Johnson made it clear Rawk was inevitable in 1936-7 ...
	7:36pm still b/p: Ya needed your Radio Snacks for your listening back in the day! flashbak.com...
	🥁 7:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ....& that was before microwaves...
	7:38pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug! oh my restless yen
	🥁 7:38pm chresti: I'm confused by that sandwich machine, how does it make sandwiches?
	7:38pm Flash Strap: i'm a little distracted behind the scenes here, forgive me if i'm intermittently distant
	7:40pm northguineahills: Been here, filling out a job application that wants my life history....
	7:40pm Flash Strap: hi NGH i really hate that
	🥁 7:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ah this crazy wireless & it's illusion of intimacy...
	🥁 7:41pm chresti: Tell them the truth, ngh
	7:42pm still b/p: Well, I love the pic but I don't get it either. Is she holding a small wrapped sandwich that's going in or out of the tube that heats it? Is it just promotional or is it practical sandwich-prep relevant?
	🥁 7:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I am fairly competent human adult - @ least relative to your meaningless capitalist activities... & I am desperate enuff to passively tolerate your persistently loathsome persons...ya happy??...
	7:44pm hyde: i wouldnt wanna tell my life history either, ngh
	7:46pm fleep: Try "Veni, Vidi, Vici" it never fails to impress
	7:46pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, one time I got this hair brained idea I wanted to work at Disney. I got an application from HR on the lot and took it home. When I actually sat down and read it my eyes just about popped out of my head! So much for any dream of working for Uncle Walt!
	7:47pm still b/p: Then you get paid and stabbed on the 15th.
	🥁 7:47pm chresti: Maybe the machine just lights up and plays music, she retrieves the sandwich, already prepared, from the cabinet below.
	7:48pm TDK60: Hey deh, howz ya do?
	7:49pm Flash Strap: Hi TDK!
	🥁 7:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Walt was virulently anti-union - McCarthyite & so on...
	7:51pm Flash Strap: Carribea was probably recorded to be a part of Soothing Sounds for Baby
	7:51pm still b/p: Walt didn't allow mustaches on park staffers, though he had one.
	7:51pm northguineahills: @Franco: My sister-in-law is a Disney freak, (all she watches is Disney movies to this day, and the part my brother doesn't decorate is all Disney). She dropped out of college to work for minimum wage at Disney World (her parents are loaded).
	7:52pm doctorjazz: Hey Evan and Explorers!
	7:52pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc!
	🥁 7:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Culture is a mass hallucination' ... - Terence McKenna
	7:53pm hyde: i dig this tune
	7:54pm Flash Strap: love the peanut vendor, extremely blessed tune
	7:54pm still b/p: Interesting and important history and impact for Peanut Vendor, too, which I didn't know.
	7:55pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, I wanted to work as a fabricator in their mill. Not exactly a job you had to tuck in your shirt to do well.
	7:56pm hyde: the Princeton fight song
	7:56pm TDK60: ..gee, I'd like to try hallucinating someday; for now, I like music, it's cultural ain't it?
	7:56pm still b/p: Vendor known to the ear, but when looking for what films (of many) it was used in, just saw some of the related info.
	7:56pm Flash Strap: @B/P: in that it may be the most famous / influential Cuban tune? or something else
	🥁 7:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Peanut Vending just makes me think of 'Duck Soup' ... Tiger - here's a 20thCentury tune you don't hear now...
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Duck Soup is my favorite movie usage
	7:58pm still b/p: Yah, that. "first million-selling 78 rpm single of Cuban music." "led to a 'rumba craze' in the US and Europe which lasted through the 1940s."
	7:58pm Flash Strap: the worst Scott LP? but still good(ish)
	7:59pm Flash Strap: @B/P: yes yes of course! so important
	🥁 8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have mercy but old cartoons telegraphed so much referential stuff it's unbelievable...
	8:01pm still b/p: If a clip of Edgar Kennedy doing an angry burn take, from any of his films, isn't a meme, it oughta be.
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Marx Bros are so untapped in that sense
	8:03pm Flash Strap: crazy flat drum sound here
	8:03pm Flash Strap: sounds like a skip, or a soft shoe
	8:03pm Linda Lee: isn't this lovely! hello!
	8:04pm Linda Lee: so glad i found you! these sounds are my favorites.
	8:05pm Flash Strap: Hi Linda! back at ya, warm welcome
	8:05pm Flash Strap: this one seems like it was recorded for "At Home"
	🥁 8:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Marx Bro.s ....I mean I certainly wasn't hearing the Goons until fairly recently ! They were it ! - like Blues informs Rawk - all the Python & Firesign & all that devolves from that...
	8:05pm Linda Lee: thank you! fabulous.
	8:07pm Linda Lee: my response to this vibe is so strong, i must've heard these sounds in utero! :-) born in '60.
	8:08pm TDK60: I was a wee lad back in '57. Everything was gray, weird.
	8:09pm Linda Lee: was it?
	🥁 8:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MarxBros. - the suspension of reality for the duration - pure buzz like HardDaysNight & Kong '33 & stuff that would come on TV once a year then...
	🥁 8:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like Roger Daltrey saying how odd like pre-1960s seems B&W even in his memory...
	8:12pm Linda Lee: how funny! i remember colorful experience, though the color is muted.
	8:12pm Flash Strap: love Snake Woman, what a tune
	8:13pm TDK60: LL: the culture sorta was, hard to explain, stiff.
	8:13pm Flash Strap: I was born in the 80s, when everything had VHS lines and tracking problems. color though
	8:13pm Linda Lee: our memories are confused with film & photographs, too. don't you think?
	8:14pm Linda Lee: it becomes impossible to differentiate. memory is made up of all experience.
	8:14pm TDK60: yes LL. but also using a color noun to describe not just color...
	8:15pm Linda Lee: wow!!! listsen to 'soothing sounds for baby'! electronica! how fabulous.
	8:15pm Linda Lee: right.. right
	🥁 8:15pm chresti: I was an infant in '57, summertime in Illinois, green, bright, firefly smell. I remember smells and sounds, more than colors from that time
	8:16pm melinda: hi everyone!
	8:17pm Linda Lee: how interesting memory is. how personal. hi melinda!
	8:17pm northguineahills: Wow, Evan is younger then I (actually, I only think the only regulars on GTDS that are younger are a few certain djs)
	🥁 8:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PostWar England was a particular thing too... Snake Woman reminded me of Kong music somehow : Max Steiner...
	8:17pm Linda Lee: i think you've found the Gold Room. :-)
	🥁 8:19pm chresti: Winter was white, grey, and brown.
	🥁 8:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Friend observed we speak blithely of time travel - but the smells alone would amaze us...
	8:20pm TDK60: ..I am thinking of events like Ginsberg's outburst of "Howl" (etc.) an eruption against the conformism of the time. // Donovan in his autobio wrote about gray '40s-'50s England and the need for a more humane and colorful art/music movement.
	🥁 8:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Donovan very intentional that way.
	8:21pm still b/p: I remember the colors of particular childhood clothing items, cars, toys, experiences, scenes, locations. But selectively and scattered, not savant-y.
	8:21pm Linda Lee: it was also a nation that had been deeply traumatized. of course they needed vitality!
	8:22pm Linda Lee: was traumatized, not 'had been'
	🥁 8:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Toys....plastic clocks....album covers...comics & magazines...we had B&W TV pretty late....
	8:23pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Explorers
	8:24pm Linda Lee: so thankful for this show! just so fabulous. imagine a world before the cultural dominance of youth.
	8:25pm Linda Lee: can you?
	🥁 8:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Born in small Vermont town - w/ big backyard field... occasional deer...very Ray Bradbury - who seemed a great poet when I first learned to read for pleasure....
	🥁 8:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Beginning of Beatles Anthology - McCartney asks just that: imagine when Rawk was just one of the Musics...much like No Direction Home about Dylan....
	8:29pm Linda Lee: was it 'rock'? or was it only 'potential' and 'different'?
	8:29pm Linda Lee: was it only named as a genre when the market matured?
	8:31pm Linda Lee: similar things seem to happen to real estate. neighborhoods are only named when developers become interested. in other words, when there's a market for location.
	8:31pm Flash Strap: Hi coelacanth
	8:31pm Flash Strap: many thanks to you, Linda
	8:31pm Flash Strap: Rumba craze begins here, thank god
	8:31pm northguineahills: @LL: Also, don't forget music journalist coin genre names....
	8:32pm Linda Lee: me? why?
	8:32pm TDK60: ..but Raymond Scott, or Chuck Berry, or Sun Ra, or Yma Sumac go against my theory in that they were colorful in the '50s. Lots of great stuff was around..
	8:32pm Linda Lee: right. it serves them to be able to differentiate musical languages..
	8:32pm melinda: I love encountering rare smells from childhood. Honeysuckle is one.
	🥁 8:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - people make distinction between Rock"n'Roll - & Rock - latter beginning 1965-ish ...@ 1st - it was called a few things...not least so it could be caucasianized away from Black Rhythm & Blues for White middle class kiddos....
	8:34pm Flash Strap: @TDK: largely unacknowledged but in many ways, their color is the undercurrent that sweeps towards the "color" of the 60s, or at least a different expression of some similar urges
	8:34pm doctorjazz: Great oDJB (always had a soft spotfor jazz from the teens and 20s)
	8:34pm fleep: Devil music
	8:34pm Linda Lee: the musical world has always exploded with color under grey circumstances. this is why all those British youngsters born in national trauma during the war & attendant privation became musicians!
	🥁 8:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like Hippies Hippies are Beatnicks in Color...
	8:36pm Linda Lee: melinda, i'll always remember my mother by the scent she wore when i was a newborn & for a few years afterward. it was called 'jungle gardenia'. that scent will always recall the closest i've ever been to my mother.
	8:36pm coelacanth∅: "rock and roll" was never invented with the purpose of creating a genre. it was just somebody describing the music.
	🥁 8:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kids born after Depression memory...the outrage of smashing a perfectly good gittar....
	8:37pm Linda Lee: they were raking in obscene amounts of money by then, though, weren't they. i mean, for kids from a war-torn nation who grew up on rations..
	8:38pm Linda Lee: smashing their guitars was a confrontation with the kind of materialism they could then indulge in..
	8:39pm Linda Lee: a really profound statement.
	8:39pm TDK60: that gyrating rhythm & blues (rock'n'roll) frightened the white supremacists. Bringing the body into sensual pleasure; the old Anglo Saxons were scared stiff. "devil music".
	🥁 8:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The fascinating thing to me now of course is exploding the simplistic reduction that Blues & Country met in a single time & place & there was suddenly RawkaRolla. Its much messier & more interesting....
	8:40pm coelacanth∅: Pete Townshend only smashed his guitar out of desperation, and frustration, because the Jimi Hendrix experience was out-shining the who.
	8:40pm fleep: the old anglo saxons are still scared stiff
	8:41pm Doug Schulkind: Der Bingle is deep exotica. Came from a land of pure fantasy.
	8:41pm TDK60: ha ha! fleep..
	8:41pm Linda Lee: indeed Rev! culture isn't a straight line. i'd heard that too, coel. the thing is, why was it effective?
	8:41pm coelacanth∅: then the kids loved it, so it remained in the act. when Kurt Cobain did it (and i loved nirvana) i thought it was childish and morally wrong.
	🥁 8:41pm chresti: That's good, beatnicks in color
	8:42pm Linda Lee: exactly. why did the kids love it?
	🥁 8:42pm chresti: My mother's smell was coffee and cigarettes
	8:43pm Linda Lee: and was Kurt making the same statement about materialism?
	🥁 8:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Who had the 1st six foot amps & Pete was AutoDestructing out of Art School before Hendrix artived in England ...& subsumed EVERYTHING that was happening...
	8:43pm Linda Lee: that was my dad, chresti! :-)
	8:43pm Flash Strap: @Doug: big time
	8:43pm coelacanth∅: maybe it was cathartic? -like moshing (slam dancing, as we called it) ...like crazyass noise?
	8:44pm TDK60: ..but I think he (Pete T.) was doing that before he heard of Jimi H., coel. The Mod thing maybe had a bit of nihilism in the mix.
	8:44pm Linda Lee: right. why cathartic? i love digging in like this ..
	8:45pm still b/p: Rudy! Not born around here but grew up very nearby.
	8:45pm coelacanth∅: i've never heard or read that Townshend smashed his git before monteray. forgive me please if i'm to be corrected.
	🥁 8:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cobain had a heroin element - Post-Iggy. He was feeling no pain when he threw himself into drumsets.
	8:45pm TDK60: I read recently that Townshend went to an art school at which a prof taught who was an early proponent of destruction art, piano drops and the like, forget his name right now..
	🥁 8:46pm chresti: My dad was cigars and beer
	8:46pm Linda Lee: that visual! so striking! no pun intended. so dramatic!
	8:47pm Flash Strap: Love this Paul Whiteman so much, great shambling intro, reminds me of that passage in Conrad's Victory where he describes how bad the local band is and it sounds actually really great
	8:47pm Linda Lee: Rev, i think Iggy was into it too, a bit.
	8:47pm coelacanth∅: regarding catharsis...when i was little and my brother and i would think of wishes we'd make to a genie or whatever one of mine, and his, was to have an identical house to the one we lived in that we could just smash to bits!
	8:47pm Linda Lee: wow, coel! why? do you know?
	8:48pm geezerette: Dancing in a jungle in heels, not easy.
	8:48pm hyde: @coel haha
	8:48pm TDK60: ..found it: Gustav Metzger --autodestruct guy at Ealing Art College.
	8:50pm Flash Strap: Hi geezerette!
	🥁 8:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Eric Burdon quote as saying Pete at Monterey was Rape - & Jimi was Erotic Sacrifice.... But that was The Who's act from 1965. But Jerry Lee Lewis was smashing things: as Lennon said - it's just what you do when you're fed up or the instrument's crap....
	8:50pm geezerette: HOT!
	8:50pm still b/p: Aligned Explorations: Right after mention of the "Mod thing" here, I just happened to read something in an unrelated vein about how by early 60s London's "Flamingo Club was already the favourite hang-out for London’s newest teenager cult, the Mods."
	8:50pm northguineahills: My parents' smell has usually been cambell's soup or microwave dinners. no caffeine outside of iced/hot tea, and no alcohol....
	8:50pm coelacanth∅: i think it was a combination of it'd be fun, and curiosity - to see how things broke apart ...and yeah probably to get over some pent up shit!
	8:51pm fleep: This house was built in 1938. There was an electric outlet above the mantelpiece, at one end, just for putting a radio up there. Modern!
	8:52pm Linda Lee: right, sure, of course, Rev. smash it up in rage. but then: why do it again?
	8:52pm TDK60: ..back when radios were beautiful furniture with big dials.
	8:52pm coelacanth∅: i was just pissed that Cobain did it because everybody knows somebody who'd love to have a guitar but can't afford one.
	8:53pm coelacanth∅: fleep i like that image
	🥁 8:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When my father died - going thru his place & things...knowing his smell would also vanish... Apologies to our Host for being do off-topic! Good presentation can engender that sometimes Sir...
	8:53pm geezerette: Mary Martin, wow!
	8:54pm coelacanth∅: i know,right?! i think we're all listening though!
	8:54pm Linda Lee: at least it wasn't Leadbelly's. that's the one Kurt wanted. Geffen wouldn't spring for it, though. imagine if he'd smashed that one.
	8:55pm passiflora: haha
	🥁 8:55pm chresti: It's a dramatic gesture, smashing guitars, sacrificing goats, etc
	8:55pm still b/p: I wish today, for the sake of nostalgia and appliance character, I had the Bakelite radio that was in my and my brothers' room when I was in first couple years of elementary school, when I was first becoming more attentive to pop music sounds and personnel.
	8:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): who you callin' monkey? Raymond Scott is an all-time fave. this is great!
	8:56pm coelacanth∅: i'm going to give Kurt the benefit of an assumption he wouldn't have smashed Leadbelly's guitar!
	8:56pm Linda Lee: heck, what kind of party has just one conversation going? that's not a party. that's a lecture! :-D
	8:57pm TDK60: yeh I'm talking about Mods and we have Mary Martin. But I think Mods were mostly working class, but with a new affluence, yet also with rage against a restrictive authoritarian environment. There was also amphetamine as main drug!
	8:57pm Linda Lee: just imagine if he had. that would be annoying. :-D
	8:57pm geezerette: Always loved Raymond Scott but This is such an education. Such a varied career!
	8:57pm passiflora: haha @ monkey song
	8:57pm Flash Strap: Hi Granny!
	8:58pm Flash Strap: shakin my head at all you rockists
	8:58pm TDK60: ..am I being too didactic, Linda? Force me out onto the dance floor...
	🥁 8:58pm chresti: I like Bakelite stuff
	8:59pm coelacanth∅: s b/p, i wish you did too! and i wish i had the fischer (sp?) integrated amp that my father had when i was a child. he gave up on it; but now you can get aftermarket tubes that last...and i have the patience to track down problems.
	8:59pm Linda Lee: @TDK60 ~ no rules, as far as i'm concerned.
	9:00pm doctorjazz: So much like Raymond Scott, this Len Hughes. Heading home, catch you later! Thanks, Evan!
	9:00pm Flash Strap: Len Hughes relocated to Hungary at some point, which where he did this Radiola 78, hence the odd spelling
	🥁 9:00pm chresti: Demon amphetamine!
	9:00pm melinda: Cigar smoke smell reminds me of riding in the family van with my father to a Mexican restaurant downtown on a rainy day.
	🥁 9:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & the Mods were out of their minds on WWII speed. & you've got the first giant amps...& Keith Moon behind you.... Pete says the first smashing was a mistake with a low ceiling - & he grasped the impact immediately.. Also the Art School intention of a band itself that would self-destruct! But then kids responded to his songs... & checks rolled in....The Sex Pistols essentially were the same thing - but actually following thru!...
	9:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): looks like i've been missing another fascinating WFMU conversation
	9:01pm Linda Lee: i'd like the reel-to-reel dictaphone someone at my mom's office passed on to me in '68. boy was that fun! had so much fun recording & playing with sounds. wish i had my tapes, too! 8 years old & having fun.
	9:02pm still b/p: We talked earlier today about Roy Rogers being asked to be the Woodstock closing act. Woulda been great if he did it and AND smashed or burned his guitar!
	9:02pm Linda Lee: hahahaha!! before or after skinny dippling with Dale?
	9:03pm geezerette: Flash, over & above !
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: i wish i, and the rest of the country, still had those bakalite telephones. they sounded great, always worked, and were practically indestructible. (...and the telephone service was as dependable as it is today, and very inexpensive. that doesn't hurt the fond memories either)
	9:03pm Linda Lee: 'skinny dippling' :-D
	9:04pm Flash Strap: die for this Dorsey take on Scott, so much more languid
	🥁 9:04pm chresti: Hahaha sb/p and LL!
	9:04pm Linda Lee: i still have a bakelite phone here. it's not in use; i just like having it.
	9:06pm hyde: @Linda love those!
	9:07pm geezerette: We have one of those heavy late '40s bakelite rotary phones. It still works but takes five minutes to dial. Looks great though.
	🥁 9:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Absolutely fascinating track. So evocative of the era... I love Kong so much - & that was an Exotica FairyTale in entirety...
	9:07pm Flash Strap: really good Carl Stalling compilation, this. incredible work
	9:07pm Linda Lee: mine's a pretty butter yellow, too. :-)
	9:07pm still b/p: Dale would have formed a long friendship with which -- Joan Baez or Grace Slick? I have two old black rotary dial phones. One works and was nearer to my computer than my other landline a few years ago when I needed to be on a call about whatever I was working on. Absently left it connected, and then someone called me and....that ring! Surprise aural past-blast!
	9:08pm hyde: @Flash i remember buying this when it came out
	9:09pm Flash Strap: @rev: yeah Kong is utterly mythic, its crazy how it still holds a primal terror somehow. one of the THE best exotica films, no question – it gets it, too. the sublime, the horror, the allure of it all
	🥁 9:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & finally Stalling...the integration w/ Foley...too much... There's so much here...
	9:09pm Linda Lee: that's great, still b/p! i see Dale hanging with Janis. :-)
	9:09pm northguineahills: Stalling!
	9:09pm geezerette: We have this cd; when we go to the desert we use it as background music to watch critters by.
	9:10pm Linda Lee: geezerette, that's great!
	🥁 9:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Profoundly Psychedelic... I suggest.
	9:10pm coelacanth∅: i have one in my mother's attic, a rotary phone. it was in use up until 2001. at that time, (well,c.1999) my girlfriend decorated it with great care and skill with scooby-doo wrapping paper. since moving upstate i've never had a house phone.
	🥁 9:11pm chresti: My ex worked with Roy and Dale, they had separate, matching cars..Pintos? Ah, I can't remember exactly now. I know Roy had to escape Dale every so often
	9:11pm geezerette: It's very funny!
	9:11pm doctorjazz: I've alwaysthought of Stalling as Scott with a sense of humor.
	🥁 9:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& it's hilarious.
	9:12pm geezerette: Always synchs up with whatever's out there.
	9:13pm Linda Lee: i used our bakelite rotary as an extension during power-outs til 2016! then i gave up the land line.
	9:13pm Linda Lee: @geezerette ~ amazing how that happens, no?
	9:15pm geezerette: We just have it for back-up. Not the bakelite one, just land line in general. Absolutely never answer it.
	9:16pm coelacanth∅: yeah, they don't quit! when i was maybe 12 my father fished a bakalite phone out of the wreckage of a devastating house fire. it had char marks but it still worked.
	🥁 9:16pm chresti: We keep a landline in case we lose power
	9:16pm Linda Lee: well, honestly, chresti. live together, travel together, work together.. there has to be time out!
	9:16pm northguineahills: jass was originally an African-American slang for flatulence in New Orleans around the turn of the 20th century. It morphed from there (See Buddy Bolden)
	9:17pm Linda Lee: exactly! in a power out your wireless phone isn't working. power outs here in the catskills are mighty regular, too, because our lines aren't buried.
	9:18pm melinda: An old friend of my mother's who died recently was at one time in the same PTA as Dale Evans.
	9:18pm Linda Lee: i like your dad, coel. :-)
	9:19pm Linda Lee: why is it hard to think of Roy & Dale as parents?
	9:19pm geezerette: Linda, yes, never fails! Usually just listen to the actual wildlife and birds, but they're so fast and often furtive that Stalling conducting Scott is perfect.
	🥁 9:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never heard that! Jass like gas? Always heard Jazz & Rock were Sexual ...more like Jizz...General anatomical obscenity is possible middle ground...
	🥁 9:20pm chresti: I think they were together separately, LL.
	9:20pm Linda Lee: always love providing soundtracks for nature theater. :-)
	9:20pm melinda: I hate the thought of giving up my landline, cell phone quality so often sucks. I even have a black Princess phone, with rotary-style push buttons.
	9:21pm still b/p: If you were Roy and Dale's kid, you might be worried that if a fatal accident befell you, they'd have ya stuffed!
	9:21pm TDK60: I wonder, did Roy & Dale ever listen to exotica? so many questions...
	9:22pm Linda Lee: is that legal? :-D
	🥁 9:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - I bet Morricone listened to Roy...
	🥁 9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...heard him...
	9:24pm Linda Lee: my gosh ~ the 'genuine electric latin love machine'!!!! superb!!
	9:24pm TDK60: y'know… tiki partee out at the ranch...
	9:24pm geezerette: Melinda, agree. Just safer. Black princess phone sounds like a beautiful object, sculpture.
	9:25pm still b/p: I'd kinda like to dress like Monsieur Hulot and dance to that Magne Peanut Vendor in public. Kinda.
	🥁 9:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LesPaul ?? :) & Mary !! <3
	9:25pm fleep: Les Paul, to my knowledge, never smashed a guitar onstage.
	🥁 9:25pm chresti: haha sb/p and TDK60
	9:25pm Flash Strap: @B/P: yes that makes perfect, beautiful sense
	9:26pm Linda Lee: this "tiger rag" is the best version ever. meoww!
	9:26pm Flash Strap: Mills Bros have a good version too but that probably is the best
	🥁 9:27pm chresti: Now I remember something, Roy liked to get away and go bowling
	9:27pm Linda Lee: it's the girls. :-)
	🥁 9:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There is no Back to the Future like Les & Mary... course I'm a gittarhead...
	9:28pm Linda Lee: bowlng with the boys! well sure!
	9:28pm geezerette: Glamorous Les Baxter. Funny and beautiful in that weird '50s way.
	9:29pm Linda Lee: Les Paul would never smash a guitar on stage or anywhere else. never.
	9:30pm Flash Strap: Baxter's arrangements on Caribbean Moonlight are so lush that they're genuinely hallucinogenic
	🥁 9:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Unless to prove he could rebuild it...not so different really...
	9:30pm Flash Strap: one of Denny's most interesting records, the outer limits of his creativity probably
	9:31pm Linda Lee: maybe dismantling.. but not smashing!
	9:32pm TDK60: ..this partee is maahhrvelous, Flash; you must have us back soon! Another round of coconut liqueur?
	9:32pm Linda Lee: love martin denny just the way i love 'jungle gardenia' ~ & possibly for similar reasons!
	9:32pm Flash Strap: oh yes please TDK
	9:33pm Flash Strap: that's an old exotic scent, goes back to '32
	9:33pm geezerette: Chresti, was Trigger stuffed by then? Or did Nudie make a special bowling shirt for him?
	9:33pm still b/p: Friend was writing erotic fiction a few years ago. Got me thinking, not about writing in the genre, but what elements and cues would make good ingredients. On the list was an "activity" soundtrack, selected by a participant, of Les Baxter tracks and other such popular 50s to mid-60s instrumentals. Do anything for ya?
	9:34pm Linda Lee: my mother's favorite the year i was born & for next 10 years.
	🥁 9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buddy Rich was all destructo... Really Rawk Movements are Rhythm & Blues plus Art Movements ... R&B + dADa = Punk + Surrealism = Psych + Futurism = Mod ...
	9:35pm Flash Strap: that sounds great and honestly very relatable b/p
	9:36pm Linda Lee: not really, still b/p. reminds me too much of my actual childhood. :-D
	🥁 9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So Joe Meek...
	🥁 9:36pm chresti: @geez- had to be, we need Franco here, he remembers my ex's stories better than I do..
	9:36pm geezerette: RevRab, sounds right!
	🥁 9:38pm chresti: Maybe some voodoo drum loops@ sb/p
	🥁 9:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: These were the weirdos who had STEREOS - before Hippies... & the MadMen Lounge Daddies ... & wannabes...
	🥁 9:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Classical Audiophiles...bought LPs...
	9:41pm Linda Lee: ya mean the guys who'd invite a girl home to hear his stereo ~ for real?
	9:41pm Flash Strap: yeah so much of this is driven by a proto-psychedelic desire to have the stereo really fuck you up with transportive dynamics and depth of soundstage, just tripping out on your hi-fi's sheer power
	🥁 9:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Zackly.
	🥁 9:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Switched on Pop podcast just had an episode on Space in recorded music...we absolutely take it for granted now...
	9:43pm Flash Strap: Markko Polo guys were very in line with a Raymond Scott idea of music painting a picture – tho they were more about employing Hollywood sound fx – but no surprise they do Mountain High Valley Low on this LP
	9:44pm Linda Lee: new to me, Markko Polo. really wonderful.
	🥁 9:44pm chresti: Oh yeah, I remember those kind of invitations...cars and stereos
	9:45pm fleep: The Command label was especially cranked, the sound was dimensional, I would crank up the AR4 speakers when the folks were out
	9:45pm Linda Lee: this 'twilight in turkey' would have been a great soundtrack to the film 'kedi' ~ about the street cats of instanbul!
	9:45pm Flash Strap: Command LPs are pure power, Enoch Light was so on it
	9:46pm Linda Lee: hahaha! i wrote 'instanbul'! must be past my bedtime.
	🥁 9:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Beatles didn't stop doing MONO versions until their final album together - Abbey Road in '69: Half Century right now...
	9:46pm northguineahills: Just shy of 5 hours, and I finish the application...
	9:46pm northguineahills: Instantbull!
	9:47pm Linda Lee: hahaha! :-D
	9:47pm TDK60: Hi fi cranked with the lights low, yeah, real swell.
	🥁 9:48pm chresti: Haha instant bul
	9:48pm Linda Lee: just add water
	🥁 9:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ngh- tell'em it's nobody's bidness but the Turks"...
	9:48pm Flash Strap: really exquisite version here
	9:49pm still b/p: "Instanbul has an extra consonantinople.."
	🥁 9:50pm chresti: Little bit of incense, candles..
	9:51pm Linda Lee: hahaha! :-D
	9:51pm fleep: s b/p snork!
	🥁 9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: '59 pivotal for Jazz many ways...for comparison ...& this sound over webz & WiFi...my good speakers granted...
	9:51pm Linda Lee: goofs aside, though, 'kedi' is a marvelous film about these street cats & their communities. in istanbul.
	9:52pm melinda: @Linda i loved Kedi. Especially the "little glutton" cat who hung around outside the restaurant.
	🥁 9:53pm chresti: Haha Consonantinople
	9:53pm doctorjazz: Fun shoe, Flash, great car company, thanks!
	9:53pm melinda: I want to visit Istanbul someday.
	9:53pm Flash Strap: Cool Blue Flame is off tonight, Dave Sewelson's Music for a Free World filling in: wfmu.org...
	9:54pm Linda Lee: oh yes! :-) i was just delighted by the space made for them in the lives of the people. but that's islam, also: respect for all living things.
	9:54pm melinda: where has the time gone?
	9:54pm TDK60: Thanks DJ Flash; good times, back soon..
	🥁 9:55pm chresti: Most enjoyable, thanks Flash and everyone!
	9:55pm fleep: What a great time trip, thanks Evan.
	9:56pm Linda Lee: what a great show!! my gosh!! what a treat.
	9:56pm geezerette: Evan , Fun !!! Thanks for guiding the expedition ! No group I'd rather travel with!
	9:56pm Doug Schulkind: An exquisite excursion, Sir! Or, in other words, just another Thursday evening.
	🥁 9:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Back room of a marginal station... Thx Flash - & Everyone.
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: oh bummed i missed that. i had to take a shower. i was quite jazzy and it was giving me the blues! ...to use those phrases as they were originally used before being applied to music. (independent of each-other)
	9:58pm still b/p: Hitting the heights, Flash. Thanks! I'll start the manuscript straightaway: "It was Thursday evening. Our spirits and temperatures were up, our appetites keen and driven. We got home and...she turned on Explorers Room. I knew then the furniture and the night and our souls would be SCORCHED to glorious ash and ruin!"
	9:58pm Linda Lee: thanks so much! beautiful.
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! Great program, as always!
	9:59pm Linda Lee: good work so far, b/p!!
	9:59pm northguineahills: Thanks, Evan!

	9:59pm coelacanth∅: ("jazz" originally meant "mess")
	🥁 10:00pm chresti: Haha s b/p- a blockbuster

	7:06pm Flash Strap: Hi Rev! - for sure
	7:06pm Flash Strap: weird story about Puddin Head there
	7:07pm Franco Twinkie: hey Flash! Such jaunty music for a miserably hot afternoon.
	7:07pm Flash Strap: killer melody on Blvd of Broken Dreams, seriously eerie imperial march vibe
	7:07pm Flash Strap: Hi Franco! Hot out there?
	7:08pm Flash Strap: giggalette
	7:09pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, brutal.
	7:09pm Flash Strap: humid here too, insane

	7:11pm Flash Strap: every kinda bow-wow-wow
	7:11pm Freaky Tiki: Somehow this music is bouncy & creepy at the same time
	7:12pm fleep: Dodgers lose, radio begins. Howdy, Flash, too hot to shuffle anywhere.
	7:13pm Flash Strap: Hi Freaky! yeah for sure, there's a dark tinge around a lot of this chipper depression era music, Paper Moon-style
	7:13pm Flash Strap: Hello royal Fleep!
	7:13pm listener james from westwood: I just happened to watch an ice-cream-cake assembly line video with one of the earlier tracks on in the background, and it was kind of perfect.
	7:14pm Flash Strap: haha excellent James
	7:15pm Franco Twinkie: James, could you share that link? I would love to see an ice cream cake factory.
	7:16pm Flash Strap: cooling off with some factory footage
	7:16pm passiflora: making tahini "The word tahini appeared in English by the late 1930s"
	🥁 7:16pm chresti: Lavena is a good name for a cat
	7:17pm Flash Strap: Hi Passiflora! I can imagine Slim Gaillard working it into Yep Roc Heresay
	7:18pm Flash Strap: similar to Blvd, this one has a real imperial march feel as well, and I think Salah Ragab may have quoted it in one of his
	7:18pm Flash Strap: Very correct, Chresti, i like that a lot
	🥁 7:19pm chresti: When I hear Shuffle off to Buffalo, I think of a Munsters episode where they take a train to Buffalo
	🥁 7:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They were past caring about how exposed anyone felt about the need for optimistic dreams... & yet the despair had to be acknowledged ...I always say about The Beatles - coming out of PostWar North England - they had a very particular alchemy of Blues & Futurist sort of speed rush...a very hard balance to perfect I think...
	🥁 7:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & of course Politically - I'm always pointing out WWII followed the Depression. It's not obscure what happens - & has happened again ...
	7:22pm hyde: summer feels gone here tonight in Boston. it's like barely 70 degrees for some odd reason. almost fall-like.
	7:22pm Franco Twinkie: What were those ice cream cakes with the bizzare tv commercials in New York? I saw one really cheap video spot that had this cake with a face flying around in outer space with a horrible cartoon voice. On a day that it was freezing outside!
	7:22pm still b/p: What's this on? Shellac? Or transferred from same? Did you already explain why it's so non-hissy-scratchy?
	7:22pm Flash Strap: @rev: yes
	7:23pm Flash Strap: Hi B/P: it's on a hindsight records LP, 1979. it does sound pretty decent!
	7:25pm Franco Twinkie: When summer is gone I will toot a party horn.
	🥁 7:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Great point. They could probably digitally EQ it all up now...Presumably a big network budget??...
	7:26pm listener james from westwood: Franco: At least I think these are ice cream cakes. A minute-long clip in this tweet: twitter.com...
	🥁 7:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Man - going from 90 & humid straight to leaves turning ...it's too grim in New England - knowing what's coming...
	🥁 7:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - assembly line maybe work with Raymond ??...
	7:31pm Franco Twinkie: James, thanks! I love the end shot with the bin full of ruined cakes in the trash.
	🥁 7:33pm chresti: Back in those days, the main source of entertainment was the radio
	7:33pm still b/p: revrab -- Now you put a dollar or a watermelon wedge in the "too soon mentioned and lamented" jar!
	7:34pm Doug Schulkind: Behold the glory that is the restless yen of Flash Strap.
	🥁 7:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Reminded a bit of Antonin Artaud in the 30s (?) making me feel he waste predicting a Psychedelic Rawk Show with his philosophical & technical ideals in Theater & It's Double...
	7:34pm hyde: ooh, this is great
	🥁 7:34pm chresti: I look forward to the end of summer.
	🥁 7:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...just as Robert Johnson made it clear Rawk was inevitable in 1936-7 ...
	7:36pm still b/p: Ya needed your Radio Snacks for your listening back in the day! flashbak.com...
	🥁 7:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ....& that was before microwaves...
	7:38pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug! oh my restless yen
	🥁 7:38pm chresti: I'm confused by that sandwich machine, how does it make sandwiches?
	7:38pm Flash Strap: i'm a little distracted behind the scenes here, forgive me if i'm intermittently distant
	7:40pm northguineahills: Been here, filling out a job application that wants my life history....
	7:40pm Flash Strap: hi NGH i really hate that
	🥁 7:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...ah this crazy wireless & it's illusion of intimacy...
	🥁 7:41pm chresti: Tell them the truth, ngh
	7:42pm still b/p: Well, I love the pic but I don't get it either. Is she holding a small wrapped sandwich that's going in or out of the tube that heats it? Is it just promotional or is it practical sandwich-prep relevant?
	🥁 7:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I am fairly competent human adult - @ least relative to your meaningless capitalist activities... & I am desperate enuff to passively tolerate your persistently loathsome persons...ya happy??...
	7:44pm hyde: i wouldnt wanna tell my life history either, ngh
	7:46pm fleep: Try "Veni, Vidi, Vici" it never fails to impress
	7:46pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, one time I got this hair brained idea I wanted to work at Disney. I got an application from HR on the lot and took it home. When I actually sat down and read it my eyes just about popped out of my head! So much for any dream of working for Uncle Walt!
	7:47pm still b/p: Then you get paid and stabbed on the 15th.
	🥁 7:47pm chresti: Maybe the machine just lights up and plays music, she retrieves the sandwich, already prepared, from the cabinet below.
	7:48pm TDK60: Hey deh, howz ya do?
	7:49pm Flash Strap: Hi TDK!
	🥁 7:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Walt was virulently anti-union - McCarthyite & so on...
	7:51pm Flash Strap: Carribea was probably recorded to be a part of Soothing Sounds for Baby
	7:51pm still b/p: Walt didn't allow mustaches on park staffers, though he had one.
	7:51pm northguineahills: @Franco: My sister-in-law is a Disney freak, (all she watches is Disney movies to this day, and the part my brother doesn't decorate is all Disney). She dropped out of college to work for minimum wage at Disney World (her parents are loaded).
	7:52pm doctorjazz: Hey Evan and Explorers!
	7:52pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc!
	🥁 7:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Culture is a mass hallucination' ... - Terence McKenna
	7:53pm hyde: i dig this tune
	7:54pm Flash Strap: love the peanut vendor, extremely blessed tune
	7:54pm still b/p: Interesting and important history and impact for Peanut Vendor, too, which I didn't know.
	7:55pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, I wanted to work as a fabricator in their mill. Not exactly a job you had to tuck in your shirt to do well.
	7:56pm hyde: the Princeton fight song
	7:56pm TDK60: ..gee, I'd like to try hallucinating someday; for now, I like music, it's cultural ain't it?
	7:56pm still b/p: Vendor known to the ear, but when looking for what films (of many) it was used in, just saw some of the related info.
	7:56pm Flash Strap: @B/P: in that it may be the most famous / influential Cuban tune? or something else
	🥁 7:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Peanut Vending just makes me think of 'Duck Soup' ... Tiger - here's a 20thCentury tune you don't hear now...
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Duck Soup is my favorite movie usage
	7:58pm still b/p: Yah, that. "first million-selling 78 rpm single of Cuban music." "led to a 'rumba craze' in the US and Europe which lasted through the 1940s."
	7:58pm Flash Strap: the worst Scott LP? but still good(ish)
	7:59pm Flash Strap: @B/P: yes yes of course! so important
	🥁 8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have mercy but old cartoons telegraphed so much referential stuff it's unbelievable...
	8:01pm still b/p: If a clip of Edgar Kennedy doing an angry burn take, from any of his films, isn't a meme, it oughta be.
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Marx Bros are so untapped in that sense
	8:03pm Flash Strap: crazy flat drum sound here
	8:03pm Flash Strap: sounds like a skip, or a soft shoe
	8:03pm Linda Lee: isn't this lovely! hello!
	8:04pm Linda Lee: so glad i found you! these sounds are my favorites.
	8:05pm Flash Strap: Hi Linda! back at ya, warm welcome
	8:05pm Flash Strap: this one seems like it was recorded for "At Home"
	🥁 8:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Marx Bro.s ....I mean I certainly wasn't hearing the Goons until fairly recently ! They were it ! - like Blues informs Rawk - all the Python & Firesign & all that devolves from that...
	8:05pm Linda Lee: thank you! fabulous.
	8:07pm Linda Lee: my response to this vibe is so strong, i must've heard these sounds in utero! :-) born in '60.
	8:08pm TDK60: I was a wee lad back in '57. Everything was gray, weird.
	8:09pm Linda Lee: was it?
	🥁 8:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: MarxBros. - the suspension of reality for the duration - pure buzz like HardDaysNight & Kong '33 & stuff that would come on TV once a year then...
	🥁 8:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like Roger Daltrey saying how odd like pre-1960s seems B&W even in his memory...
	8:12pm Linda Lee: how funny! i remember colorful experience, though the color is muted.
	8:12pm Flash Strap: love Snake Woman, what a tune
	8:13pm TDK60: LL: the culture sorta was, hard to explain, stiff.
	8:13pm Flash Strap: I was born in the 80s, when everything had VHS lines and tracking problems. color though
	8:13pm Linda Lee: our memories are confused with film & photographs, too. don't you think?
	8:14pm Linda Lee: it becomes impossible to differentiate. memory is made up of all experience.
	8:14pm TDK60: yes LL. but also using a color noun to describe not just color...
	8:15pm Linda Lee: wow!!! listsen to 'soothing sounds for baby'! electronica! how fabulous.
	8:15pm Linda Lee: right.. right
	🥁 8:15pm chresti: I was an infant in '57, summertime in Illinois, green, bright, firefly smell. I remember smells and sounds, more than colors from that time
	8:16pm melinda: hi everyone!
	8:17pm Linda Lee: how interesting memory is. how personal. hi melinda!
	8:17pm northguineahills: Wow, Evan is younger then I (actually, I only think the only regulars on GTDS that are younger are a few certain djs)
	🥁 8:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PostWar England was a particular thing too... Snake Woman reminded me of Kong music somehow : Max Steiner...
	8:17pm Linda Lee: i think you've found the Gold Room. :-)
	🥁 8:19pm chresti: Winter was white, grey, and brown.
	🥁 8:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Friend observed we speak blithely of time travel - but the smells alone would amaze us...
	8:20pm TDK60: ..I am thinking of events like Ginsberg's outburst of "Howl" (etc.) an eruption against the conformism of the time. // Donovan in his autobio wrote about gray '40s-'50s England and the need for a more humane and colorful art/music movement.
	🥁 8:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Donovan very intentional that way.
	8:21pm still b/p: I remember the colors of particular childhood clothing items, cars, toys, experiences, scenes, locations. But selectively and scattered, not savant-y.
	8:21pm Linda Lee: it was also a nation that had been deeply traumatized. of course they needed vitality!
	8:22pm Linda Lee: was traumatized, not 'had been'
	🥁 8:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Toys....plastic clocks....album covers...comics & magazines...we had B&W TV pretty late....
	8:23pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Explorers
	8:24pm Linda Lee: so thankful for this show! just so fabulous. imagine a world before the cultural dominance of youth.
	8:25pm Linda Lee: can you?
	🥁 8:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Born in small Vermont town - w/ big backyard field... occasional deer...very Ray Bradbury - who seemed a great poet when I first learned to read for pleasure....
	🥁 8:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Beginning of Beatles Anthology - McCartney asks just that: imagine when Rawk was just one of the Musics...much like No Direction Home about Dylan....
	8:29pm Linda Lee: was it 'rock'? or was it only 'potential' and 'different'?
	8:29pm Linda Lee: was it only named as a genre when the market matured?
	8:31pm Linda Lee: similar things seem to happen to real estate. neighborhoods are only named when developers become interested. in other words, when there's a market for location.
	8:31pm Flash Strap: Hi coelacanth
	8:31pm Flash Strap: many thanks to you, Linda
	8:31pm Flash Strap: Rumba craze begins here, thank god
	8:31pm northguineahills: @LL: Also, don't forget music journalist coin genre names....
	8:32pm Linda Lee: me? why?
	8:32pm TDK60: ..but Raymond Scott, or Chuck Berry, or Sun Ra, or Yma Sumac go against my theory in that they were colorful in the '50s. Lots of great stuff was around..
	8:32pm Linda Lee: right. it serves them to be able to differentiate musical languages..
	8:32pm melinda: I love encountering rare smells from childhood. Honeysuckle is one.
	🥁 8:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - people make distinction between Rock"n'Roll - & Rock - latter beginning 1965-ish ...@ 1st - it was called a few things...not least so it could be caucasianized away from Black Rhythm & Blues for White middle class kiddos....
	8:34pm Flash Strap: @TDK: largely unacknowledged but in many ways, their color is the undercurrent that sweeps towards the "color" of the 60s, or at least a different expression of some similar urges
	8:34pm doctorjazz: Great oDJB (always had a soft spotfor jazz from the teens and 20s)
	8:34pm fleep: Devil music
	8:34pm Linda Lee: the musical world has always exploded with color under grey circumstances. this is why all those British youngsters born in national trauma during the war & attendant privation became musicians!
	🥁 8:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like Hippies Hippies are Beatnicks in Color...
	8:36pm Linda Lee: melinda, i'll always remember my mother by the scent she wore when i was a newborn & for a few years afterward. it was called 'jungle gardenia'. that scent will always recall the closest i've ever been to my mother.
	8:36pm coelacanth∅: "rock and roll" was never invented with the purpose of creating a genre. it was just somebody describing the music.
	🥁 8:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Kids born after Depression memory...the outrage of smashing a perfectly good gittar....
	8:37pm Linda Lee: they were raking in obscene amounts of money by then, though, weren't they. i mean, for kids from a war-torn nation who grew up on rations..
	8:38pm Linda Lee: smashing their guitars was a confrontation with the kind of materialism they could then indulge in..
	8:39pm Linda Lee: a really profound statement.
	8:39pm TDK60: that gyrating rhythm & blues (rock'n'roll) frightened the white supremacists. Bringing the body into sensual pleasure; the old Anglo Saxons were scared stiff. "devil music".
	🥁 8:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The fascinating thing to me now of course is exploding the simplistic reduction that Blues & Country met in a single time & place & there was suddenly RawkaRolla. Its much messier & more interesting....
	8:40pm coelacanth∅: Pete Townshend only smashed his guitar out of desperation, and frustration, because the Jimi Hendrix experience was out-shining the who.
	8:40pm fleep: the old anglo saxons are still scared stiff
	8:41pm Doug Schulkind: Der Bingle is deep exotica. Came from a land of pure fantasy.
	8:41pm TDK60: ha ha! fleep..
	8:41pm Linda Lee: indeed Rev! culture isn't a straight line. i'd heard that too, coel. the thing is, why was it effective?
	8:41pm coelacanth∅: then the kids loved it, so it remained in the act. when Kurt Cobain did it (and i loved nirvana) i thought it was childish and morally wrong.
	🥁 8:41pm chresti: That's good, beatnicks in color
	8:42pm Linda Lee: exactly. why did the kids love it?
	🥁 8:42pm chresti: My mother's smell was coffee and cigarettes
	8:43pm Linda Lee: and was Kurt making the same statement about materialism?
	🥁 8:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Who had the 1st six foot amps & Pete was AutoDestructing out of Art School before Hendrix artived in England ...& subsumed EVERYTHING that was happening...
	8:43pm Linda Lee: that was my dad, chresti! :-)
	8:43pm Flash Strap: @Doug: big time
	8:43pm coelacanth∅: maybe it was cathartic? -like moshing (slam dancing, as we called it) ...like crazyass noise?
	8:44pm TDK60: ..but I think he (Pete T.) was doing that before he heard of Jimi H., coel. The Mod thing maybe had a bit of nihilism in the mix.
	8:44pm Linda Lee: right. why cathartic? i love digging in like this ..
	8:45pm still b/p: Rudy! Not born around here but grew up very nearby.
	8:45pm coelacanth∅: i've never heard or read that Townshend smashed his git before monteray. forgive me please if i'm to be corrected.
	🥁 8:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Cobain had a heroin element - Post-Iggy. He was feeling no pain when he threw himself into drumsets.
	8:45pm TDK60: I read recently that Townshend went to an art school at which a prof taught who was an early proponent of destruction art, piano drops and the like, forget his name right now..
	🥁 8:46pm chresti: My dad was cigars and beer
	8:46pm Linda Lee: that visual! so striking! no pun intended. so dramatic!
	8:47pm Flash Strap: Love this Paul Whiteman so much, great shambling intro, reminds me of that passage in Conrad's Victory where he describes how bad the local band is and it sounds actually really great
	8:47pm Linda Lee: Rev, i think Iggy was into it too, a bit.
	8:47pm coelacanth∅: regarding catharsis...when i was little and my brother and i would think of wishes we'd make to a genie or whatever one of mine, and his, was to have an identical house to the one we lived in that we could just smash to bits!
	8:47pm Linda Lee: wow, coel! why? do you know?
	8:48pm geezerette: Dancing in a jungle in heels, not easy.
	8:48pm hyde: @coel haha
	8:48pm TDK60: ..found it: Gustav Metzger --autodestruct guy at Ealing Art College.
	8:50pm Flash Strap: Hi geezerette!
	🥁 8:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Eric Burdon quote as saying Pete at Monterey was Rape - & Jimi was Erotic Sacrifice.... But that was The Who's act from 1965. But Jerry Lee Lewis was smashing things: as Lennon said - it's just what you do when you're fed up or the instrument's crap....
	8:50pm geezerette: HOT!
	8:50pm still b/p: Aligned Explorations: Right after mention of the "Mod thing" here, I just happened to read something in an unrelated vein about how by early 60s London's "Flamingo Club was already the favourite hang-out for London’s newest teenager cult, the Mods."
	8:50pm northguineahills: My parents' smell has usually been cambell's soup or microwave dinners. no caffeine outside of iced/hot tea, and no alcohol....
	8:50pm coelacanth∅: i think it was a combination of it'd be fun, and curiosity - to see how things broke apart ...and yeah probably to get over some pent up shit!
	8:51pm fleep: This house was built in 1938. There was an electric outlet above the mantelpiece, at one end, just for putting a radio up there. Modern!
	8:52pm Linda Lee: right, sure, of course, Rev. smash it up in rage. but then: why do it again?
	8:52pm TDK60: ..back when radios were beautiful furniture with big dials.
	8:52pm coelacanth∅: i was just pissed that Cobain did it because everybody knows somebody who'd love to have a guitar but can't afford one.
	8:53pm coelacanth∅: fleep i like that image
	🥁 8:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: When my father died - going thru his place & things...knowing his smell would also vanish... Apologies to our Host for being do off-topic! Good presentation can engender that sometimes Sir...
	8:53pm geezerette: Mary Martin, wow!
	8:54pm coelacanth∅: i know,right?! i think we're all listening though!
	8:54pm Linda Lee: at least it wasn't Leadbelly's. that's the one Kurt wanted. Geffen wouldn't spring for it, though. imagine if he'd smashed that one.
	8:55pm passiflora: haha
	🥁 8:55pm chresti: It's a dramatic gesture, smashing guitars, sacrificing goats, etc
	8:55pm still b/p: I wish today, for the sake of nostalgia and appliance character, I had the Bakelite radio that was in my and my brothers' room when I was in first couple years of elementary school, when I was first becoming more attentive to pop music sounds and personnel.
	8:56pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): who you callin' monkey? Raymond Scott is an all-time fave. this is great!
	8:56pm coelacanth∅: i'm going to give Kurt the benefit of an assumption he wouldn't have smashed Leadbelly's guitar!
	8:56pm Linda Lee: heck, what kind of party has just one conversation going? that's not a party. that's a lecture! :-D
	8:57pm TDK60: yeh I'm talking about Mods and we have Mary Martin. But I think Mods were mostly working class, but with a new affluence, yet also with rage against a restrictive authoritarian environment. There was also amphetamine as main drug!
	8:57pm Linda Lee: just imagine if he had. that would be annoying. :-D
	8:57pm geezerette: Always loved Raymond Scott but This is such an education. Such a varied career!
	8:57pm passiflora: haha @ monkey song
	8:57pm Flash Strap: Hi Granny!
	8:58pm Flash Strap: shakin my head at all you rockists
	8:58pm TDK60: ..am I being too didactic, Linda? Force me out onto the dance floor...
	🥁 8:58pm chresti: I like Bakelite stuff
	8:59pm coelacanth∅: s b/p, i wish you did too! and i wish i had the fischer (sp?) integrated amp that my father had when i was a child. he gave up on it; but now you can get aftermarket tubes that last...and i have the patience to track down problems.
	8:59pm Linda Lee: @TDK60 ~ no rules, as far as i'm concerned.
	9:00pm doctorjazz: So much like Raymond Scott, this Len Hughes. Heading home, catch you later! Thanks, Evan!
	9:00pm Flash Strap: Len Hughes relocated to Hungary at some point, which where he did this Radiola 78, hence the odd spelling
	🥁 9:00pm chresti: Demon amphetamine!
	9:00pm melinda: Cigar smoke smell reminds me of riding in the family van with my father to a Mexican restaurant downtown on a rainy day.
	🥁 9:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & the Mods were out of their minds on WWII speed. & you've got the first giant amps...& Keith Moon behind you.... Pete says the first smashing was a mistake with a low ceiling - & he grasped the impact immediately.. Also the Art School intention of a band itself that would self-destruct! But then kids responded to his songs... & checks rolled in....The Sex Pistols essentially were the same thing - but actually following thru!...
	9:00pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): looks like i've been missing another fascinating WFMU conversation
	9:01pm Linda Lee: i'd like the reel-to-reel dictaphone someone at my mom's office passed on to me in '68. boy was that fun! had so much fun recording & playing with sounds. wish i had my tapes, too! 8 years old & having fun.
	9:02pm still b/p: We talked earlier today about Roy Rogers being asked to be the Woodstock closing act. Woulda been great if he did it and AND smashed or burned his guitar!
	9:02pm Linda Lee: hahahaha!! before or after skinny dippling with Dale?
	9:03pm geezerette: Flash, over & above !
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: i wish i, and the rest of the country, still had those bakalite telephones. they sounded great, always worked, and were practically indestructible. (...and the telephone service was as dependable as it is today, and very inexpensive. that doesn't hurt the fond memories either)
	9:03pm Linda Lee: 'skinny dippling' :-D
	9:04pm Flash Strap: die for this Dorsey take on Scott, so much more languid
	🥁 9:04pm chresti: Hahaha sb/p and LL!
	9:04pm Linda Lee: i still have a bakelite phone here. it's not in use; i just like having it.
	9:06pm hyde: @Linda love those!
	9:07pm geezerette: We have one of those heavy late '40s bakelite rotary phones. It still works but takes five minutes to dial. Looks great though.
	🥁 9:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Absolutely fascinating track. So evocative of the era... I love Kong so much - & that was an Exotica FairyTale in entirety...
	9:07pm Flash Strap: really good Carl Stalling compilation, this. incredible work
	9:07pm Linda Lee: mine's a pretty butter yellow, too. :-)
	9:07pm still b/p: Dale would have formed a long friendship with which -- Joan Baez or Grace Slick? I have two old black rotary dial phones. One works and was nearer to my computer than my other landline a few years ago when I needed to be on a call about whatever I was working on. Absently left it connected, and then someone called me and....that ring! Surprise aural past-blast!
	9:08pm hyde: @Flash i remember buying this when it came out
	9:09pm Flash Strap: @rev: yeah Kong is utterly mythic, its crazy how it still holds a primal terror somehow. one of the THE best exotica films, no question – it gets it, too. the sublime, the horror, the allure of it all
	🥁 9:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & finally Stalling...the integration w/ Foley...too much... There's so much here...
	9:09pm Linda Lee: that's great, still b/p! i see Dale hanging with Janis. :-)
	9:09pm northguineahills: Stalling!
	9:09pm geezerette: We have this cd; when we go to the desert we use it as background music to watch critters by.
	9:10pm Linda Lee: geezerette, that's great!
	🥁 9:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Profoundly Psychedelic... I suggest.
	9:10pm coelacanth∅: i have one in my mother's attic, a rotary phone. it was in use up until 2001. at that time, (well,c.1999) my girlfriend decorated it with great care and skill with scooby-doo wrapping paper. since moving upstate i've never had a house phone.
	🥁 9:11pm chresti: My ex worked with Roy and Dale, they had separate, matching cars..Pintos? Ah, I can't remember exactly now. I know Roy had to escape Dale every so often
	9:11pm geezerette: It's very funny!
	9:11pm doctorjazz: I've alwaysthought of Stalling as Scott with a sense of humor.
	🥁 9:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& it's hilarious.
	9:12pm geezerette: Always synchs up with whatever's out there.
	9:13pm Linda Lee: i used our bakelite rotary as an extension during power-outs til 2016! then i gave up the land line.
	9:13pm Linda Lee: @geezerette ~ amazing how that happens, no?
	9:15pm geezerette: We just have it for back-up. Not the bakelite one, just land line in general. Absolutely never answer it.
	9:16pm coelacanth∅: yeah, they don't quit! when i was maybe 12 my father fished a bakalite phone out of the wreckage of a devastating house fire. it had char marks but it still worked.
	🥁 9:16pm chresti: We keep a landline in case we lose power
	9:16pm Linda Lee: well, honestly, chresti. live together, travel together, work together.. there has to be time out!
	9:16pm northguineahills: jass was originally an African-American slang for flatulence in New Orleans around the turn of the 20th century. It morphed from there (See Buddy Bolden)
	9:17pm Linda Lee: exactly! in a power out your wireless phone isn't working. power outs here in the catskills are mighty regular, too, because our lines aren't buried.
	9:18pm melinda: An old friend of my mother's who died recently was at one time in the same PTA as Dale Evans.
	9:18pm Linda Lee: i like your dad, coel. :-)
	9:19pm Linda Lee: why is it hard to think of Roy & Dale as parents?
	9:19pm geezerette: Linda, yes, never fails! Usually just listen to the actual wildlife and birds, but they're so fast and often furtive that Stalling conducting Scott is perfect.
	🥁 9:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never heard that! Jass like gas? Always heard Jazz & Rock were Sexual ...more like Jizz...General anatomical obscenity is possible middle ground...
	🥁 9:20pm chresti: I think they were together separately, LL.
	9:20pm Linda Lee: always love providing soundtracks for nature theater. :-)
	9:20pm melinda: I hate the thought of giving up my landline, cell phone quality so often sucks. I even have a black Princess phone, with rotary-style push buttons.
	9:21pm still b/p: If you were Roy and Dale's kid, you might be worried that if a fatal accident befell you, they'd have ya stuffed!
	9:21pm TDK60: I wonder, did Roy & Dale ever listen to exotica? so many questions...
	9:22pm Linda Lee: is that legal? :-D
	🥁 9:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - I bet Morricone listened to Roy...
	🥁 9:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...heard him...
	9:24pm Linda Lee: my gosh ~ the 'genuine electric latin love machine'!!!! superb!!
	9:24pm TDK60: y'know… tiki partee out at the ranch...
	9:24pm geezerette: Melinda, agree. Just safer. Black princess phone sounds like a beautiful object, sculpture.
	9:25pm still b/p: I'd kinda like to dress like Monsieur Hulot and dance to that Magne Peanut Vendor in public. Kinda.
	🥁 9:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LesPaul ?? :) & Mary !! <3
	9:25pm fleep: Les Paul, to my knowledge, never smashed a guitar onstage.
	🥁 9:25pm chresti: haha sb/p and TDK60
	9:25pm Flash Strap: @B/P: yes that makes perfect, beautiful sense
	9:26pm Linda Lee: this "tiger rag" is the best version ever. meoww!
	9:26pm Flash Strap: Mills Bros have a good version too but that probably is the best
	🥁 9:27pm chresti: Now I remember something, Roy liked to get away and go bowling
	9:27pm Linda Lee: it's the girls. :-)
	🥁 9:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There is no Back to the Future like Les & Mary... course I'm a gittarhead...
	9:28pm Linda Lee: bowlng with the boys! well sure!
	9:28pm geezerette: Glamorous Les Baxter. Funny and beautiful in that weird '50s way.
	9:29pm Linda Lee: Les Paul would never smash a guitar on stage or anywhere else. never.
	9:30pm Flash Strap: Baxter's arrangements on Caribbean Moonlight are so lush that they're genuinely hallucinogenic
	🥁 9:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Unless to prove he could rebuild it...not so different really...
	9:30pm Flash Strap: one of Denny's most interesting records, the outer limits of his creativity probably
	9:31pm Linda Lee: maybe dismantling.. but not smashing!
	9:32pm TDK60: ..this partee is maahhrvelous, Flash; you must have us back soon! Another round of coconut liqueur?

	9:33pm geezerette: Chresti, was Trigger stuffed by then? Or did Nudie make a special bowling shirt for him?
	9:33pm still b/p: Friend was writing erotic fiction a few years ago. Got me thinking, not about writing in the genre, but what elements and cues would make good ingredients. On the list was an "activity" soundtrack, selected by a participant, of Les Baxter tracks and other such popular 50s to mid-60s instrumentals. Do anything for ya?
	9:34pm Linda Lee: my mother's favorite the year i was born & for next 10 years.
	🥁 9:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Buddy Rich was all destructo... Really Rawk Movements are Rhythm & Blues plus Art Movements ... R&B + dADa = Punk + Surrealism = Psych + Futurism = Mod ...

	9:36pm Linda Lee: not really, still b/p. reminds me too much of my actual childhood. :-D
	🥁 9:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So Joe Meek...

	9:41pm Linda Lee: ya mean the guys who'd invite a girl home to hear his stereo ~ for real?
	9:41pm Flash Strap: yeah so much of this is driven by a proto-psychedelic desire to have the stereo really fuck you up with transportive dynamics and depth of soundstage, just tripping out on your hi-fi's sheer power
	🥁 9:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Zackly.
	🥁 9:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Switched on Pop podcast just had an episode on Space in recorded music...we absolutely take it for granted now...
	9:43pm Flash Strap: Markko Polo guys were very in line with a Raymond Scott idea of music painting a picture – tho they were more about employing Hollywood sound fx – but no surprise they do Mountain High Valley Low on this LP
	9:44pm Linda Lee: new to me, Markko Polo. really wonderful.
	🥁 9:44pm chresti: Oh yeah, I remember those kind of invitations...cars and stereos
	9:45pm fleep: The Command label was especially cranked, the sound was dimensional, I would crank up the AR4 speakers when the folks were out
	9:45pm Linda Lee: this 'twilight in turkey' would have been a great soundtrack to the film 'kedi' ~ about the street cats of instanbul!
	9:45pm Flash Strap: Command LPs are pure power, Enoch Light was so on it
	9:46pm Linda Lee: hahaha! i wrote 'instanbul'! must be past my bedtime.
	🥁 9:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Beatles didn't stop doing MONO versions until their final album together - Abbey Road in '69: Half Century right now...

	🥁 9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: '59 pivotal for Jazz many ways...for comparison ...& this sound over webz & WiFi...my good speakers granted...
	9:51pm Linda Lee: goofs aside, though, 'kedi' is a marvelous film about these street cats & their communities. in istanbul.
	9:52pm melinda: @Linda i loved Kedi. Especially the "little glutton" cat who hung around outside the restaurant.

	9:57pm coelacanth∅: oh bummed i missed that. i had to take a shower. i was quite jazzy and it was giving me the blues! ...to use those phrases as they were originally used before being applied to music. (independent of each-other)
	9:58pm still b/p: Hitting the heights, Flash. Thanks! I'll start the manuscript straightaway: "It was Thursday evening. Our spirits and temperatures were up, our appetites keen and driven. We got home and...she turned on Explorers Room. I knew then the furniture and the night and our souls would be SCORCHED to glorious ash and ruin!"
