	6:41pm Flash Strap: Evening explorers and all! Let's do some good things tonight! Hi Gary!
	6:47pm Gary: Howdy!
	6:50pm Flash Strap: And hey, y'know, this premium is really good. I don't want to toot my own but I also wouldn't lie. You're going to want it... you're going to NEED it if you have a tiki situation of any sort, if you ever entertain in your own explorers room or exotic garden, or if you own a putt putt golf course... the possibilities are endless
	6:51pm Gary: ^Having heard some of it last week, I can verify this statement
	6:55pm Flash Strap: thanks, Gary
	7:01pm listener james from westwood: Evan! Gary! Attentive birds on the cover!

	7:08pm melinda: hi Evan, Bob, Gary, James!
	7:08pm Flash Strap: wonderful
	7:08pm listener james from westwood: Tired but surviving!
	7:08pm Flash Strap: hello Melinda!
	7:09pm ndbob: Heya Melinda!
	7:12pm Gary: Melinda!
	7:16pm ndbob: what a great name he has - Slinger Francisco
	7:17pm Flash Strap: he has the best 2 names of any man on earth! Slinger AND Sparrow
	7:23pm hyde: hello!
	7:24pm Flash Strap: Are there indeed any among ye familiar enough with prog-rock also-rans Uriah Heep to have picked up on that lifted bit?
	7:24pm Flash Strap: Hi Hyde, wonderful to have you
	7:26pm Gary: A $20 pledge gets you in the running for the terrific Sublime Frequencies double LP that that track was taken from
	7:26pm Doug Schulkind: "My Bathroom": One of the all-time WFMU mega-hits! Flash Strap HAS ARRIVED!
	7:26pm Flash Strap: WFMU, the station with no ads.
	7:26pm hyde: i never would have noted the Heep ripoff, myself
	7:26pm ndbob: I remember being at a record show - the person right before me looking at a bunch of LPs found this
	7:26pm Gary: The Hyde! The Doug!
	7:27pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug! does this track have a WFMU lineage? I had no idea if so!
	7:27pm ndbob: Yeo Evan - I think on the 365 days project
	7:28pm Flash Strap: @Hyde-it's weird that I did, really. i think it's cause it's the only moment I liked on that Heep record
	7:31pm ifny: This is great. Accoring to the Google: "Soong Nam Dondhan Dodhan Saliga" means 'the sparrow and the waterfall'.
	7:32pm Gary: You're asking the wrong guy (me) about pronunciation :)
	7:33pm hyde: pretty sure it's cee-lacanth
	7:34pm hyde: confirmed, the Smithsonian sez it's: seel-a-canth
	7:34pm Gary: One last chance to bid on this!
	7:35pm Flash Strap: hello new friend Ifny!
	7:35pm Flash Strap: don't sleep on this one friends!
	7:37pm ifny: Hello new strappy friend Flash! Sending you all sunshine and cherry blossoms from Vancouver.
	7:37pm Doug Schulkind: For the marathon in about 1990 or so, WFMU offered as its "big ticket" premium a video (a VHS tape for you youngsters) called "Radio as a Visual Medium." It had all kinds of sight gags and included "My Bathroom" on the soundtrack.
	7:39pm ifny: I used to use "It's Revolution" from that American Standard album as the theme song of my show. Bathroom revolution. So inspiring.
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Hhahaha, wonderful! Well, i'm going to play all three of those bathroom tunes tonight
	7:41pm Doug Schulkind: What was your show, ifny? Do tell!
	7:42pm Flash Strap: I 2nd that
	7:43pm Betty: Do you know Lou Reed?
	7:44pm Flash Strap: Hi Betty! Nope.
	7:47pm Betty: He's great. He played in the velvet underground.
	7:49pm ifny: @Doug Schulkind it wasn't a bathroom show surprisingly. It was a bicycle radio show at CiTR (campus) starting in 2000 and later CFRO (freeform co-op). I took it over in 2005 and retired it a couple years ago. I sure miss that good old studio smell.
	7:50pm Gary: Pledge $20 to get in the running for that wonderful Spoerri CD!
	7:50pm Doug Schulkind: GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT... You Thursday evening listeners should be pleased to know a brand-new program will be joining the Drummer Stream. We hope to have it up and running in the first month following the marathon. The show is called THE COOL BLUE FLAME and it will take over the airwaves immediately following this program and air until midnight (ET). The Drummer Stream is GROWING people! Become a pledger now and some day you can tell your grandkids you were there at the beginning! PLEDGE IN HONOR OF FLASH STRAP AND EXPLORERS ROOM! To be sure that your pledge is credited to Explorer's Room, you must: (1) Pledge by clicking the PLEDGE NOW button on this page. (2) Make sure "Explorer's Room" is selected in the program drop-down menu. (3) Click the + (plus) button where it says CLICK TO ADD SHOW. See: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	7:57pm ndbob: excellent first hour Evan - bye fpr now!
	7:57pm Flash Strap: there are now TWO prizes in the mix! yee haw
	7:58pm Flash Strap: amazing news Doug!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	8:00pm Gary: Right now you have a very very very good chance of winning either the Spoerri album or this amazing Little Mermaid
	8:00pm Flash Strap: do I need to point out that those Mermaid tracks were Ba-Zonkers? Bye Bob, thanks for being with us!
	8:00pm Gary: For one less pizza a year, this could be yours!
	8:01pm Gary: "This" being the album that the previous track was off of :)
	8:02pm ifny: @Doug Schulkind Don't want you to think I'm ignoring you - I answered your question just before your thrillingly voluminous inspirational message :)
	8:04pm Doug Schulkind: @ifny I saw your answer and I am conjuring up all manner of wonderful images in my head of what a "bicycle radio show" might be.
	8:04pm ifny: Clyde Borley is yet another reason why we drummers listen to Give the Drummer Some. Thank you for giving the drummers some.
	8:05pm Gary: I am just going to blurt this out: EXPLORER'S ROOM IS ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SHOWS ON WFMU (and thus, anywhere) ... PLEASE help keep thrilling programming like it w/in all of our earshot
	8:05pm ifny: @Doug Schulkind Sir, my humblest apologies for interrupting!
	8:06pm Flash Strap: You are extremely welcome, Ifny! And gary! thank you for the words! Your show is the absolute madness as well!
	8:16pm melinda: I think it's Ma Tutch In.
	8:16pm Gary: I love this Mr. Bighead album
	8:19pm Flash Strap: thanks melinda!
	8:21pm Gary: "... nose." Nice save
	8:21pm Flash Strap: jesus, this track
	8:21pm Stepchild: Why was I so late to find this program? I can't explain myself. Guess I'm mostly a terrestrial radio listener, neglecting the streams. But No More!! (Melinda is right on, BTW -- One of NJ's more difficult-to-guess town pronunciations.)
	8:22pm Flash Strap: Late or not, Stepchild, we are so glad you found us here
	8:23pm melinda: I only know Ma Tutch In from hearing it pronounced several times during marathon.
	8:24pm Flash Strap: i might be biased, but I think some of the best stuff is happening in the streams. They're like tide pools
	8:24pm listener james from westwood: Another local name that often throws WFMU MC's reading pledges: Mahopac. (MAYO-pak.)
	8:25pm Stepchild: That's a good'un
	8:29pm Gary: Nearly halfway to our goal at the halfway point in the show!
	8:31pm Betty: Go Lynn!
	8:33pm Flash Strap: Oh nice!
	8:35pm Gary: Oh holy god I love this track
	8:35pm Flash Strap: the hottest of tracks
	8:35pm hyde: yeah, this one is really fantastic
	8:41pm melinda: White Leg Group is an interesting name.
	8:44pm Gary: $20 for this mint-condition 2-LP of head-blow-off level molam tracks!
	🥁 8:44pm JtotheK: hi everyone, i'm looking forward to joining all the explorations for a little while tonight!
	8:44pm Gary: $20 for this mint-condition 2-LP of head-blow-off level molam tracks!
	8:48pm Gary: My GF, btw, says: "Isan is a predominantly Lao-populated region of Thailand, so I think of these two albums as Laotian. ... 'Lao represent!'" <------------[tongue in cheek, but she also means it]
	8:48pm melinda: hi JtotheK!
	🥁 8:49pm JtotheK: hi melinda!
	🥁 8:50pm JtotheK: re: this Patrick Cowley comp -- I mentioned this elsewhere, but learned of this comp form WFMU and picked it up shortly after hearing a few tracks. So so good!
	🥁 8:51pm JtotheK: I have to get the other comp (School Daze) at some point. Thanks to this show and many others, I love learning about this stuff!
	8:52pm Gary: To be sure that your pledge is credited to Explorer's Room, you must: (1) Pledge by clicking the PLEDGE NOW button on this page. (2) Make sure "Explorer's Room" is selected in the program drop-down menu. (3) Click the + (plus) button where it says CLICK TO ADD SHOW. See: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	8:53pm melinda: I first learned of Patrick Cowley here too.
	8:54pm Flash Strap: Hey J: School Daze is EVEN BETTER, if you can believe it
	8:57pm Flash Strap: this track, produced by Cowley, shows up on Muscle Up as an instrumental version
	8:58pm Ham: geez loueez, i just tried to pledge twice to your show, making sure i selected "Explorer's Room" on the little scroll down menu, but it credited two different ones each time. anywho, it's all wfmu, nonetheless.. great show!
	9:01pm just julia: oh jeez! thank you!
	🥁 9:04pm JtotheK: I've heard a track or two off School Daze, will procure at some point. I really like Muscle Up, so now I have high hopes for it!
	9:04pm Flash Strap: So so sorry Ham! I mean, dammit man
	9:04pm Gary: Ham, that's very unfortunate! Did you also press the (+) button? If not, that is why it credited the pledge to the show on the terrestrial airwaves; otherwise, there may be a lingering bug in the system ...
	9:06pm Flash Strap: Thanks for doin' what you did, regardless, Ham! You are loved and appreciated
	9:06pm Flash Strap: And thank you, jeez julia!
	9:06pm Stepchild: re: this track: WOW
	9:07pm Ham: it's fine. thanks for all the hard work you put into the show each week. great job!
	9:07pm Flash Strap: I'm glad you agree, stepchild–this stuff really blows me away
	9:08pm Flash Strap: thanks Ham, you're a real mensch
	9:09pm Gary: Less than an hour to go -- now is the time to show your love for this incredible, indelible show!
	9:16pm hyde: hm, this all sounds very cool. i somehow missed reading about this when you posted about it...
	9:22pm Doug Schulkind: Flash Strap has the uncanny ability that many great DJs have — he makes familiar music sound BETTER. And then, of course, there are all the unfamiliar wonders he offers.
	9:24pm Flash Strap: aw shucks, Douglas. you got the honey tongue
	9:25pm coelacanth: olá Evan and explorers!
	9:26pm Flash Strap: And Doug has the uncanny ability to captain one of the greatest radio streams on earth, AND DJ two shows a week of the greatest show on earth
	9:26pm Stepchild: Must. Up. Pledge.

	9:30pm coelacanth: Thanks Evan! but -not that i mind pledging your show twice...i had hoped to anyway, but didn't last week's pledge fall into Kevin Nutt's lap?
	9:31pm Flash Strap: it did, but i knew about it! and thanks
	9:32pm Stepchild: CLICKY
	9:33pm Doug Schulkind: The next $20 pledge will not only get you in the running for the prize currently on offer, it will put the Explorers Room total less than $100 from its goal. Tally-ho, people! Move that tally!

	7:26pm Flash Strap: WFMU, the station with no ads.
	7:26pm hyde: i never would have noted the Heep ripoff, myself
	7:26pm ndbob: I remember being at a record show - the person right before me looking at a bunch of LPs found this
	7:26pm Gary: The Hyde! The Doug!
	7:27pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug! does this track have a WFMU lineage? I had no idea if so!
	7:27pm ndbob: Yeo Evan - I think on the 365 days project
	7:28pm Flash Strap: @Hyde-it's weird that I did, really. i think it's cause it's the only moment I liked on that Heep record
	7:31pm ifny: This is great. Accoring to the Google: "Soong Nam Dondhan Dodhan Saliga" means 'the sparrow and the waterfall'.
	7:32pm Gary: You're asking the wrong guy (me) about pronunciation :)
	7:33pm hyde: pretty sure it's cee-lacanth
	7:34pm hyde: confirmed, the Smithsonian sez it's: seel-a-canth
	7:34pm Gary: One last chance to bid on this!
	7:35pm Flash Strap: hello new friend Ifny!
	7:35pm Flash Strap: don't sleep on this one friends!
	7:37pm ifny: Hello new strappy friend Flash! Sending you all sunshine and cherry blossoms from Vancouver.
	7:37pm Doug Schulkind: For the marathon in about 1990 or so, WFMU offered as its "big ticket" premium a video (a VHS tape for you youngsters) called "Radio as a Visual Medium." It had all kinds of sight gags and included "My Bathroom" on the soundtrack.
	7:39pm ifny: I used to use "It's Revolution" from that American Standard album as the theme song of my show. Bathroom revolution. So inspiring.
	7:40pm Flash Strap: Hhahaha, wonderful! Well, i'm going to play all three of those bathroom tunes tonight
	7:41pm Doug Schulkind: What was your show, ifny? Do tell!
	7:42pm Flash Strap: I 2nd that
	7:43pm Betty: Do you know Lou Reed?
	7:44pm Flash Strap: Hi Betty! Nope.
	7:47pm Betty: He's great. He played in the velvet underground.
	7:49pm ifny: @Doug Schulkind it wasn't a bathroom show surprisingly. It was a bicycle radio show at CiTR (campus) starting in 2000 and later CFRO (freeform co-op). I took it over in 2005 and retired it a couple years ago. I sure miss that good old studio smell.
	7:50pm Gary: Pledge $20 to get in the running for that wonderful Spoerri CD!
	7:50pm Doug Schulkind: GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT... You Thursday evening listeners should be pleased to know a brand-new program will be joining the Drummer Stream. We hope to have it up and running in the first month following the marathon. The show is called THE COOL BLUE FLAME and it will take over the airwaves immediately following this program and air until midnight (ET). The Drummer Stream is GROWING people!

	7:57pm Flash Strap: there are now TWO prizes in the mix! yee haw
	7:58pm Flash Strap: amazing news Doug!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	8:00pm Gary: Right now you have a very very very good chance of winning either the Spoerri album or this amazing Little Mermaid
	8:00pm Flash Strap: do I need to point out that those Mermaid tracks were Ba-Zonkers? Bye Bob, thanks for being with us!
	8:00pm Gary: For one less pizza a year, this could be yours!
	8:01pm Gary: "This" being the album that the previous track was off of :)
	8:02pm ifny: @Doug Schulkind Don't want you to think I'm ignoring you - I answered your question just before your thrillingly voluminous inspirational message :)
	8:04pm Doug Schulkind: @ifny I saw your answer and I am conjuring up all manner of wonderful images in my head of what a "bicycle radio show" might be.
	8:04pm ifny: Clyde Borley is yet another reason why we drummers listen to Give the Drummer Some. Thank you for giving the drummers some.
	8:05pm Gary: I am just going to blurt this out: EXPLORER'S ROOM IS ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE SHOWS ON WFMU (and thus, anywhere) ... PLEASE help keep thrilling programming like it w/in all of our earshot
	8:05pm ifny: @Doug Schulkind Sir, my humblest apologies for interrupting!
	8:06pm Flash Strap: You are extremely welcome, Ifny! And gary! thank you for the words! Your show is the absolute madness as well!
	8:16pm melinda: I think it's Ma Tutch In.
	8:16pm Gary: I love this Mr. Bighead album
	8:19pm Flash Strap: thanks melinda!
	8:21pm Gary: "... nose." Nice save
	8:21pm Flash Strap: jesus, this track
	8:21pm Stepchild: Why was I so late to find this program? I can't explain myself. Guess I'm mostly a terrestrial radio listener, neglecting the streams. But No More!! (Melinda is right on, BTW -- One of NJ's more difficult-to-guess town pronunciations.)
	8:22pm Flash Strap: Late or not, Stepchild, we are so glad you found us here
	8:23pm melinda: I only know Ma Tutch In from hearing it pronounced several times during marathon.
	8:24pm Flash Strap: i might be biased, but I think some of the best stuff is happening in the streams. They're like tide pools
	8:24pm listener james from westwood: Another local name that often throws WFMU MC's reading pledges: Mahopac. (MAYO-pak.)
	8:25pm Stepchild: That's a good'un
	8:29pm Gary: Nearly halfway to our goal at the halfway point in the show!
	8:31pm Betty: Go Lynn!
	8:33pm Flash Strap: Oh nice!
	8:35pm Gary: Oh holy god I love this track
	8:35pm Flash Strap: the hottest of tracks
	8:35pm hyde: yeah, this one is really fantastic
	8:41pm melinda: White Leg Group is an interesting name.
	8:44pm Gary: $20 for this mint-condition 2-LP of head-blow-off level molam tracks!
	🥁 8:44pm JtotheK: hi everyone, i'm looking forward to joining all the explorations for a little while tonight!
	8:44pm Gary: $20 for this mint-condition 2-LP of head-blow-off level molam tracks!
	8:48pm Gary: My GF, btw, says: "Isan is a predominantly Lao-populated region of Thailand, so I think of these two albums as Laotian. ... 'Lao represent!'" <------------[tongue in cheek, but she also means it]
	8:48pm melinda: hi JtotheK!
	🥁 8:49pm JtotheK: hi melinda!
	🥁 8:50pm JtotheK: re: this Patrick Cowley comp -- I mentioned this elsewhere, but learned of this comp form WFMU and picked it up shortly after hearing a few tracks. So so good!
	🥁 8:51pm JtotheK: I have to get the other comp (School Daze) at some point. Thanks to this show and many others, I love learning about this stuff!
	8:52pm Gary: To be sure that your pledge is credited to Explorer's Room, you must: (1) Pledge by clicking the PLEDGE NOW button on this page.

	8:54pm Flash Strap: Hey J: School Daze is EVEN BETTER, if you can believe it
	8:57pm Flash Strap: this track, produced by Cowley, shows up on Muscle Up as an instrumental version
	8:58pm Ham: geez loueez, i just tried to pledge twice to your show, making sure i selected "Explorer's Room" on the little scroll down menu, but it credited two different ones each time. anywho, it's all wfmu, nonetheless.. great show!
	9:01pm just julia: oh jeez! thank you!
	🥁 9:04pm JtotheK: I've heard a track or two off School Daze, will procure at some point. I really like Muscle Up, so now I have high hopes for it!
	9:04pm Flash Strap: So so sorry Ham! I mean, dammit man
	9:04pm Gary: Ham, that's very unfortunate! Did you also press the (+) button? If not, that is why it credited the pledge to the show on the terrestrial airwaves; otherwise, there may be a lingering bug in the system ...
	9:06pm Flash Strap: Thanks for doin' what you did, regardless, Ham! You are loved and appreciated
	9:06pm Flash Strap: And thank you, jeez julia!
	9:06pm Stepchild: re: this track: WOW
