	7:10pm Observations: IMHO this is the best thing Caravan ever recorded. One of the all time great Canterbury prog rock jams. Nice & long & full of jamming & riffs
	7:14pm TDK60: Elsewhere in woofmooland, recently some commenter remarked that the Caravan singer here, forget which one, sounds a bit like Robert Wyatt. Also that both Caravan and Soft Machine keyboardists had similar fuzzy organ sounds. And were cross-town Canterbury bands, right?
	7:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Can't Be Long Now/Francoise/For Richard/Warlock" ... Great !
	7:17pm TDK60: And this live recording sounds very clear and strong, for '74. Hi Rev Rabbit.
	7:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Can't Be Long Now/Francoise/For Richard/Warlock" ... ...don't call it the Drummer stream for nothin'...
	7:17pm Observations: Yes- both part of Canterbury scene. And both originally were in an earlier band The Wilde Flowers
	7:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @7:17 More reliable by then.
	7:19pm TDK60: ↳ Observations @7:17 Observations! AHhh! I'd maybe read about that earlier connection, done forgot.

	7:28pm Observations: Hey Peter. Playing one Molam track in the next set in honor of your upcoming guest mix
	7:30pm northguineahills: made it!
	7:30pm Observations: Oops- he’s from Ghana!
	7:31pm Observations: “wild mashup of frenetic Ghanaian kologo sounds and musical deep dives from Ghanaian electronic producers “
	7:36pm northguineahills: still holding out hope for a kologo-molam mashup
	7:36pm northguineahills: I missed NEW clive bell! drats!

	7:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Deep Paths" by "Joe Maneri / Joe Morris / Matt Ma... I've seen all three of these musicians, but never any of them together, jealous!
	7:55pm doctorjazz: Hi Davis and Observers!
	🥁 7:55pm WR: ↳ Song: "Deep Paths" by "Joe Maneri / Joe Morris / Matt Ma... Same here, have not seen those three together.
	7:56pm northguineahills: The Ex were also instrumental for bringing the kasai all-stars/konono no.1 to the attention of the wider world...
	7:58pm northguineahills: I must admit my introduction to molam was jah wobble's molam dub album. That sent me down a rabbit hole i've yet to recover....
	8:01pm peter: Always thought Jah Wobble’s was one of the better interactions with Thai music in the “World Music” scene
	8:02pm peter: Gotta put that album on again soon..
	8:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Flashbacks" by "Annette Peacock" I was going to say, how did I miss this release? (and realized it was recorded in '71). new to me! always digdug annette!
	8:03pm Listener Gregory: Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by... to Thai food instead of the opening of the show. And that has made all the difference. But I'm here now.
	8:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Tightenin'" by "Julius Hemphill" This is a great track, from a great set!
	8:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Tightenin'" by "Julius Hemphill" Wadud is a monster here!
	8:10pm Listener Gregory: If this were released by living musicians today, no one would think it dated.
	🥁 8:10pm WR: ↳ Song: "Tightenin'" by "Julius Hemphill" I got this Hemphill set in digital a few months ago but have not even begun to go through listening to it all. This is a lovely choice, yes Abdul Wadud is wonderful.

	8:33pm TDK60: David, you ever talk with DJ Gary of the Bodega Pop show and DJ Flash over in the Explorers Room? They may have tips on where to find some Oum K. records. Maybe.
	8:35pm Observations: Yes. Part of the fun is finding this stuff in the wild.
	8:48pm Listener Gregory: This raga is bitchin’!
	8:58pm doctorjazz: Matsuli Music is a cool label-I have a few of these on Bandcamp matsulimusic.bandcamp.com
	9:00pm Listener Gregory: Cannot stop myself from hearing them as singing about Topeka.
	9:04pm Listener Gregory: Of course, the song also has the famous Oklahoma Beat, making it doubly difficult.
	9:05pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:58 I believe Chris Albertyn, who used to do a monthly feature on Doug Schulkind's show (South African music), is involved in, or runs Matsuli Music.
	9:07pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @8:58 He also has a discogs page. www.discogs.com...

	9:11pm Doug Schulkind: Yes you do, I know see. I often miss the earlier comments on the app.
	9:13pm Listener Gregory: Saw Anna Webber with the new John Hollenneck band (which is on the West Coast quite soon) recently. Haven’t managed to hear her own groups yet, but she is a real talent.
	9:14pm doctorjazz: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:11 Any word in a return appearance be Chris? Hopefully his issues have settled...
	9:16pm doctorjazz: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:13 I saw her with the Webber Morris Big Band, they put on quite a concert!

	9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Flashback Of Time" by "Creative Arts Ensemble Wit... speaking of clouds (nimbus west)
	9:43pm JetBoy of Astoria: Sorry I didn’t say a proper hi. I’ve been lurking, the music has been great - thank you.
	9:45pm Listener Gregory: @Jetboy, we’re all glad you were not shot down as a UFO. We can’t afford to lose any more FMU listeners that way.
	9:47pm JetBoy of Astoria: Think of me as Son of Flying Pig
	9:52pm Listener Gregory: This Creative Arts Ensemble sounds to me a lot like McCoy Tyner’s groups of about the same time. I like this period; didn’t know this group.

	9:55pm northguineahills: thanks, again, david!
