	6:47pm listener james from westwood: Sneaking in early, tiptoeing so I don't disturb the sleeper!
	6:48pm Flash Strap: whisper voice hello Listener James
	7:01pm Flash Strap: tonight's show has 4 sets, each one employing a randomly selected word from the writings of Georges Bataille (from Absence of Myth, a collection of his writings on Surrealism specifically) as a catalyst. The set unspools from that point using word associations in the song title to explore (obliquely) themes and fetishes related to Surrealism as Bataille conceived it
	7:03pm Flash Strap: should be fun, weird
	🥁 7:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Calling PlanetEarth! It's after the end of the world! Don't you...oh you've figured it now...'kay...
	7:04pm Pigsnoot: Oh yeah ! Was looking forward to a new show! Greetings from Belgium

	7:05pm Flash Strap: Pigsnoot! hello! a pleasure
	7:06pm Flash Strap: top image: Gerome Kamrowski, "The Embalmed Universe" 1938. bottom: Max Ernst, can't remember the title
	7:07pm Flash Strap: anyway this set began with the keyword "language"
	7:15pm david_: word up yall
	7:16pm Flash Strap: hello and warm welcome david_!
	🥁 7:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I should be cast as Antonin Artaud. No really.
	7:17pm Flash Strap: por que revrab?
	🥁 7:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - looks mostly...
	7:20pm Flash Strap: damn, that's quite a visage you're claiming. a striking countenance. Let's get you cast!
	7:24pm Flash Strap: This?: i.pinimg.com...
	7:24pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	7:24pm northguineahills: Leaving work, hear ya at home!
	7:24pm Flash Strap: or this: www.thefamouspeople.com...
	7:25pm Flash Strap: hi Doc! See ya at home, NGH!
	🥁 7:30pm chresti: lot of infighting I gather-like any club
	🥁 7:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He wrote good - but who didn't Breton kick out??
	🥁 7:33pm jaywbabcock: "should be fun, weird" --> words to live life by
	🥁 7:34pm chresti: right- a bunch of guys that will not be told what to do and can't agree about anything
	7:35pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Flasharino!
	7:37pm Little Danny: Hey Flash, hey all
	🥁 7:39pm chresti: Look what the surrealist drug in! !Franco!
	7:40pm Franco Twinkie: Don't get mad at me dear, but I made a pie!
	🥁 7:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Campbell on us being storytelling monkeys who can;t get their Story together yet right now ...McKenna's Archaic Revival - Leary on Dropping Out from Games (99.9% of the Games are Not Worth Playing) - &tc. &tc. &tc. ... What are we doing most of this for ??
	🥁 7:41pm chresti: I hope it went okay and nothing caught on fire! Yum
	7:42pm still b/p: "Ce n'est pas une tarte."
	7:42pm Flash Strap: Hi Jay! Hi Franco! And Little danny too!
	7:42pm Flash Strap: Hi B/P!
	🥁 7:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just watched KenBurns' thing on MarkTwain. What he said about Government & Congress is really funny ...Blessed Are the Cheesemakers...
	🥁 7:44pm chresti: LUCKY DRAGONS!
	7:44pm Flash Strap: as picasso said about being a communist: " i have joined a family, and like any family, it is full of shit" people sometimes take the internecine struggles of the surrealists to demonstrate that they were absurd idealists; in fact it shows how serious they were, in their prime, about reordering the world
	7:47pm Flash Strap: @Chresti: Lucky Dragons are pretty great!
	7:48pm Flash Strap: @Franco; pie sounds nice. what type of pie?
	🥁 7:49pm chresti: crazy as that world was! Being required to be serious is/was a deal breaker for some
	7:49pm Flash Strap: This Hannibal Marvin Peterson record is really solid
	🥁 7:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Story of Picasso stamping bulls on currency (stop & consider the Mythology of that for a second) - & a friend said - that's illegal defacing currency - & Picasso said - in any county in the world - that's now worth $2000 (or whatever it was) !! ...Printed his own money, that Communist did...
	🥁 7:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was just thinking today how everyone wants to be the Trane Quartet - & how 101% good I am w/ it...
	7:50pm Flash Strap: i don't mean they required seriousness, rather that they weren't essentially frivolous. Ernst is one of the most playful artists of all time, imo
	7:51pm Franco Twinkie: Peach. iI bought a lug of Summer Ladies. I gotta do something with them before they go off.
	7:52pm Flash Strap: damn, peach pie. delicious
	7:52pm Franco Twinkie: If you were closer....
	7:52pm still b/p: "I bought a lug of Summer Ladies" oughta be a lyric.
	7:54pm Franco Twinkie: Well BP, That's a real good idea!
	7:54pm Flash Strap: stomach growling for pie over here. this has awakened an urge
	7:55pm Franco Twinkie: I wish we could get together for a pie night.
	🥁 7:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Surrealists certainly succeeded in changing how Society pictures things...I think Artaud was probably right that what we need more is Theatre & Ceremony - Activity w/ Peoples...All Artists are children of the Shaman, I like to think...
	7:56pm Flash Strap: me too
	7:58pm still b/p: Or a pie-night double header.
	7:58pm Flash Strap: @revrab: wish it were so – so many artists, i often feel, are essentially propagandists for the existing power structure. but the "specialists in revolt" are out there in that number as well
	7:59pm northguineahills: here!
	🥁 7:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pie & other irrational numbers,
	🥁 7:59pm chresti: and me three
	8:00pm Flash Strap: NGH! welcome home
	8:00pm hyde: gonna be low profile tonite, but i'm here. hello to all my friends.
	8:01pm Flash Strap: hello hyde, keepin it cool, no need for a hye profile here
	8:01pm Franco Twinkie: BP, you're full of brilliance today. Yes! a pie twofer.
	🥁 8:02pm chresti: can you fedex pie?
	8:02pm Flash Strap: Nat Adderley's spoken word, mystic psych funk records from this period are so wonderfully odd
	8:02pm Flash Strap: feedex
	🥁 8:03pm chresti: This is a rockem sockem set!
	8:04pm still b/p: But i ain't full of pie. A mournful state.
	🥁 8:04pm chresti: Hi Hyde!
	8:05pm melinda: hi all
	8:06pm doctorjazz: Living this "... Closer Walk ", man ..
	8:06pm Flash Strap: hi Melinda! wonderful as always to see you
	🥁 8:07pm chresti: ha ha Flash! Hi melinda!
	8:07pm Flash Strap: @Doc: it's sort of unbeatable, it's the perfect rendition, or type of rendition
	8:08pm Gary: Hola!
	8:09pm Flash Strap: Gary! hello fellow
	🥁 8:09pm chresti: Hi doc!
	🥁 8:10pm chresti: Hi Gary!
	🥁 8:11pm chresti: wow!
	8:12pm melinda: I like the Fleetwoods. The Roches also did a nice cover of that.
	8:14pm Flash Strap: the fleetwoods have such an incredible sound, so delicate. they make me think of night flowers somehow
	8:14pm Gary: I (think I) remember that Roches cover!
	8:14pm melinda: That's a nice description.
	8:15pm doctorjazz: Hi Chresti!
	8:16pm Flash Strap: btw if you'd like to get on the Drummerstream mailing list and get updates in your inbox, you can click here to subscribe: tinyletter.com... the email always greets you with good news and nice imagery
	8:17pm doctorjazz: Could tell this was Rollins in a few notes Early Rollins (he was just as distinctive later but it was a different sound). Love it, up my alley!
	8:17pm Flash Strap: damn this Rollins cut is just so perfect sounding. shoulda sent this into space
	8:17pm Flash Strap: right with ya doc!
	8:20pm still b/p: i'm gonna cook and eat pizza pie after I take it out of the freezer. But it's a universe away from the joyful type of pie hitherto discussed and swooningly imagined.
	8:21pm Flash Strap: yeah that doesn't compete with those Summer Ladies in terms of pie
	8:22pm Flash Strap: i hope it's all a pizza pie can be though, b/p
	8:23pm still b/p: Aspirational pizza.
	🥁 8:25pm chresti: put some peaches on it and.. Boom, peach pie!
	8:26pm Flash Strap: some great church bells on this track in a minute
	🥁 8:26pm chresti: Hi sb/p!
	8:27pm Flash Strap: foreshadowing, perhaps, that Tyrone Washington would leave jazz to preach gospel full-time after this LP?
	8:28pm melinda: @Gary I first heard the Roches cover in the movie Crossing Delancey, I forget which album it's on.
	8:29pm Flash Strap: trying to break music on his way out
	8:29pm still b/p: chresti, chresti I'm shmearin' pizza with some pesti!
	8:29pm melinda: This here's crazy music!
	8:30pm Flash Strap: definitely, challenging stuff. "music to turn off the radio to"
	🥁 8:30pm chresti: did you want to come over for pie?
	🥁 8:31pm chresti: peach pesti!
	8:35pm Flash Strap: great pic of Mondshine : img.discogs.com...
	8:37pm spookcity: this song is right up my wheelhaus!
	8:38pm Flash Strap: hiya Spook!
	8:43pm Dean: Is that Fleetwoods tune the same as the one Bob Welch did on one of his solo albums? I missed it. Very pretty tune.
	8:45pm doctorjazz: Fun show, as usual .heading home (as usual ), catch you in the car and more later. Bye!
	8:46pm spookcity: hy buddy! mike & i are both enjoying the show immensely!
	8:48pm Flash Strap: Hi Dean!
	8:48pm Flash Strap: safe travels Doc!
	8:49pm Flash Strap: glad to hear it Spook, and warm hellow to Mike as well!
	8:51pm Dean: Yep, same song.
	8:52pm Dean: Is the stream cutting out for others? Or is it just my poopy wireless?
	8:53pm Flash Strap: i hate to say i hope it's just you, but i don't believe my broadcast signal has been cutting out, fwiw
	8:54pm still b/p: Eno sez he saved Art Decade from the rejected pile of material for Low. Worked it some more, then a reinterested Bowie worked it more.
	8:55pm Flash Strap: i read as much as well: bowiesongs.wordpress.com...
	8:55pm Dean: Judging from the way it's cutting out--it isn't skipping to the GTD stream--I think you're right.
	8:55pm Flash Strap: it does sound a lot like Eno material of the period
	8:57pm TDK60: Darnit, late again-- for Alice C., H. Partch, K. Ayers. Well at least I jumped on a bit.
	9:00pm Flash Strap: better late than never TDK, great to have you in the Room
	9:01pm TDK60: Was just reading about Fourier's influence on Surrealists.
	9:02pm Little Danny: this Suspended Memories is great, totally new to me
	9:04pm Little Danny: Whoa! I had no idea that this is what the Witchcraft LP sounds like...
	9:04pm Flash Strap: @LD: it's one of Jorge Reye's later projects
	9:04pm Flash Strap: It's criminally underrated imo. NOT just a novelty LP
	9:06pm Flash Strap: @TDK: i need to learn more about Fourier
	9:07pm Little Danny: Yeah, I'd seen the cover before but had no idea it was so out and trippy ...and nice segue into Tomita
	9:07pm TDK60: Me too; Bataille, on and on...
	9:08pm Flash Strap: it's really out, but it's also about as accessible as Louis and Bebe Barron get
	9:09pm melinda: I think Louise is the one who scoffs at "johnny-come-lately covens". Lol.
	9:10pm Flash Strap: haha that's amazing
	9:13pm TDK60: Heh hee: disco down Bird of Fire!
	🥁 9:13pm chresti: Louise Huebner later had an antique shop in Pasadena- Franco-if you're still there, did you ever go to her shop?
	9:14pm melinda: I heard it on Joe McGasko's show, if I remember correctly, and the use of that phrase just broke the spell.
	9:15pm melinda: @chresti cool!
	9:15pm quinn: finally i get to hear (part of) this show live again. yay!
	🥁 9:15pm chresti: I wonder if her kids are practicing the dark arts as well
	9:15pm TDK60: Buffy! I have this LP - I think prod. by Peter Schikele
	9:16pm Flash Strap: amazing LP, very unusual production
	9:16pm Flash Strap: Hi Quinn! wonderful to see you friend
	9:17pm Flash Strap: magic is a foot, we all know it. off with your socks
	9:20pm melinda: Fun set here!
	9:20pm Flash Strap: ah, very glad to hear it!
	9:22pm still b/p: Fred says, "Let's hear a Theremin trill like THIS!"
	9:23pm Flash Strap: @b/p: seriously. what an instrument he's got
	9:23pm Flash Strap: this Rodi really reminds me of Eno with Cluster / Harmonia
	9:29pm TDK60: ..used to have the This Is Madness LP; someone made off..
	9:31pm Flash Strap: I have a really wrecked Asian (can't remember the country now, might be Korea) pressing of it with an all-green cover, but i can't really play it. pretty cool though. great record
	9:35pm still b/p: A chance to participate in the studio with Spike Jones or Brian Eno. Choose.
	9:35pm JayD: You have been KILLING IT all night, especially with the witchy beatnik set!
	🥁 9:36pm chresti: spike jones
	9:38pm Dean: Spike Jones, no question.
	9:38pm melinda: I dig the witchy beatnik vibe too
	9:42pm Flash Strap: thanks and hello JayD!
	9:43pm Flash Strap: yeah it's hard but I gotta say Spike
	🥁 9:44pm chresti: wow donovan
	9:45pm Flash Strap: love Donovan forever
	9:46pm Dean: It's weird, because I think of Donovan as "old" relative to my situation, but that record was released in '73 and I saw him live in '76 when he opened for (sitting down?) Yes in Las Vegas.
	9:47pm northguineahills: Buffy Sainte-Marie cane pre-clickied.
	9:47pm TDK60: Donovan : yes! Celtic psych ancestor
	9:48pm northguineahills: Now that guitar lick has been sampled many a'times.....
	9:49pm Flash Strap: This Doris Duke record is entirely unparalleled in my opinion. all-time great record
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: 12 minutes! i need more than this!!
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: - and a beer. \ {hi Evan & Explorers}
	9:51pm TDK60: We refuse to let the next DJ into the control booth! like that maniacal one in the Buddy Holly movie!
	9:52pm Flash Strap: Hi Coelacanth!
	9:53pm Flash Strap: haha but TDK Little Danny is a fuckin' killer on the ones and twos, you gotta let him in
	9:54pm coelacanth∅: well, i want to hear Little Danny too, just -after at least 2 hours of explorers room. and from what i recognise in the playlist, i've missed an extraordinary program.
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: (i'm damn tired of this commuting on thursdays arrangement)
	9:55pm TDK60: ..was just figuratively, surrealistically kiddin'..
	🥁 9:56pm chresti: hi coelanth
	9:57pm Flash Strap: i know it, fellas C., I wish it weren't so. My wife commutes on Thursdays this semester too, leaving me with no one to nervously ask how the show was, in detail
	9:57pm Little Danny: Haha
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: heyy chresti!
	9:58pm Little Danny: Thanks and thanks Evan! Next up we gather 'round ye Coole Blue Flame: wfmu.org...
	9:58pm northguineahills: So, errr, uhmmm, how was the show, Evan?
	9:59pm northguineahills: Thanks, Flash, you gave me a great nap sndtrk!
	9:59pm Flash Strap: NGH, you are my wife
	9:59pm TDK60: That song about Hue '68 likely serious, in Vietnamese.
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: i used to drive back on fridays, and i'd usually miss none or not more than 1/2 hour of Daniel Blumen. that was good, but i can't work there now on fridays.
	10:00pm northguineahills: I might just be.... then who is my wife? confusion ensues!
	10:00pm still b/p: I went to an Alice Cooper show in Providence in 76 or 77, and Donovan opened but we arrived late as he finished up his final number, Hurdy Gurdy Man. is I'd caught the whole set. Thanks for good slice of show tonight.
	10:00pm Flash Strap: Real Serious, TDK
	🥁 10:00pm chresti: thanks! flash!
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: oh,okay. Thanks Evan!
	10:00pm Flash Strap: thanks all, goodnight

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

	7:17pm Flash Strap: por que revrab?
	🥁 7:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - looks mostly...
	7:20pm Flash Strap: damn, that's quite a visage you're claiming. a striking countenance. Let's get you cast!
	7:24pm Flash Strap: This?: i.pinimg.com...
	7:24pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	7:24pm northguineahills: Leaving work, hear ya at home!
	7:24pm Flash Strap: or this: www.thefamouspeople.com...
	7:25pm Flash Strap: hi Doc! See ya at home, NGH!
	🥁 7:30pm chresti: lot of infighting I gather-like any club
	🥁 7:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He wrote good - but who didn't Breton kick out??
	🥁 7:33pm jaywbabcock: "should be fun, weird" --> words to live life by
	🥁 7:34pm chresti: right- a bunch of guys that will not be told what to do and can't agree about anything
	7:35pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Flasharino!
	7:37pm Little Danny: Hey Flash, hey all
	🥁 7:39pm chresti: Look what the surrealist drug in! !Franco!
	7:40pm Franco Twinkie: Don't get mad at me dear, but I made a pie!
	🥁 7:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Campbell on us being storytelling monkeys who can;t get their Story together yet right now ...McKenna's Archaic Revival - Leary on Dropping Out from Games (99.9% of the Games are Not Worth Playing) - &tc. &tc. &tc. ... What are we doing most of this for ??
	🥁 7:41pm chresti: I hope it went okay and nothing caught on fire! Yum
	7:42pm still b/p: "Ce n'est pas une tarte."
	7:42pm Flash Strap: Hi Jay! Hi Franco! And Little danny too!
	7:42pm Flash Strap: Hi B/P!
	🥁 7:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just watched KenBurns' thing on MarkTwain. What he said about Government & Congress is really funny ...Blessed Are the Cheesemakers...
	🥁 7:44pm chresti: LUCKY DRAGONS!
	7:44pm Flash Strap: as picasso said about being a communist: " i have joined a family, and like any family, it is full of shit" people sometimes take the internecine struggles of the surrealists to demonstrate that they were absurd idealists; in fact it shows how serious they were, in their prime, about reordering the world
	7:47pm Flash Strap: @Chresti: Lucky Dragons are pretty great!
	7:48pm Flash Strap: @Franco; pie sounds nice. what type of pie?
	🥁 7:49pm chresti: crazy as that world was! Being required to be serious is/was a deal breaker for some
	7:49pm Flash Strap: This Hannibal Marvin Peterson record is really solid
	🥁 7:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Story of Picasso stamping bulls on currency (stop & consider the Mythology of that for a second) - & a friend said - that's illegal defacing currency - & Picasso said - in any county in the world - that's now worth $2000 (or whatever it was) !! ...Printed his own money, that Communist did...
	🥁 7:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Was just thinking today how everyone wants to be the Trane Quartet - & how 101% good I am w/ it...
	7:50pm Flash Strap: i don't mean they required seriousness, rather that they weren't essentially frivolous. Ernst is one of the most playful artists of all time, imo
	7:51pm Franco Twinkie: Peach. iI bought a lug of Summer Ladies. I gotta do something with them before they go off.
	7:52pm Flash Strap: damn, peach pie. delicious
	7:52pm Franco Twinkie: If you were closer....
	7:52pm still b/p: "I bought a lug of Summer Ladies" oughta be a lyric.
	7:54pm Franco Twinkie: Well BP, That's a real good idea!
	7:54pm Flash Strap: stomach growling for pie over here. this has awakened an urge
	7:55pm Franco Twinkie: I wish we could get together for a pie night.
	🥁 7:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Surrealists certainly succeeded in changing how Society pictures things...I think Artaud was probably right that what we need more is Theatre & Ceremony - Activity w/ Peoples...All Artists are children of the Shaman, I like to think...
	7:56pm Flash Strap: me too
	7:58pm still b/p: Or a pie-night double header.
	7:58pm Flash Strap: @revrab: wish it were so – so many artists, i often feel, are essentially propagandists for the existing power structure. but the "specialists in revolt" are out there in that number as well
	7:59pm northguineahills: here!
	🥁 7:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pie & other irrational numbers,
	🥁 7:59pm chresti: and me three
	8:00pm Flash Strap: NGH! welcome home
	8:00pm hyde: gonna be low profile tonite, but i'm here. hello to all my friends.
	8:01pm Flash Strap: hello hyde, keepin it cool, no need for a hye profile here
	8:01pm Franco Twinkie: BP, you're full of brilliance today. Yes! a pie twofer.
	🥁 8:02pm chresti: can you fedex pie?
	8:02pm Flash Strap: Nat Adderley's spoken word, mystic psych funk records from this period are so wonderfully odd
	8:02pm Flash Strap: feedex
	🥁 8:03pm chresti: This is a rockem sockem set!
	8:04pm still b/p: But i ain't full of pie. A mournful state.
	🥁 8:04pm chresti: Hi Hyde!
	8:05pm melinda: hi all
	8:06pm doctorjazz: Living this "... Closer Walk ", man ..
	8:06pm Flash Strap: hi Melinda! wonderful as always to see you
	🥁 8:07pm chresti: ha ha Flash! Hi melinda!
	8:07pm Flash Strap: @Doc: it's sort of unbeatable, it's the perfect rendition, or type of rendition
	8:08pm Gary: Hola!
	8:09pm Flash Strap: Gary! hello fellow
	🥁 8:09pm chresti: Hi doc!
	🥁 8:10pm chresti: Hi Gary!
	🥁 8:11pm chresti: wow!
	8:12pm melinda: I like the Fleetwoods. The Roches also did a nice cover of that.
	8:14pm Flash Strap: the fleetwoods have such an incredible sound, so delicate. they make me think of night flowers somehow
	8:14pm Gary: I (think I) remember that Roches cover!
	8:14pm melinda: That's a nice description.
	8:15pm doctorjazz: Hi Chresti!
	8:16pm Flash Strap: btw if you'd like to get on the Drummerstream mailing list and get updates in your inbox, you can click here to subscribe: tinyletter.com... the email always greets you with good news and nice imagery
	8:17pm doctorjazz: Could tell this was Rollins in a few notes Early Rollins (he was just as distinctive later but it was a different sound). Love it, up my alley!
	8:17pm Flash Strap: damn this Rollins cut is just so perfect sounding. shoulda sent this into space
	8:17pm Flash Strap: right with ya doc!
	8:20pm still b/p: i'm gonna cook and eat pizza pie after I take it out of the freezer. But it's a universe away from the joyful type of pie hitherto discussed and swooningly imagined.
	8:21pm Flash Strap: yeah that doesn't compete with those Summer Ladies in terms of pie
	8:22pm Flash Strap: i hope it's all a pizza pie can be though, b/p
	8:23pm still b/p: Aspirational pizza.
	🥁 8:25pm chresti: put some peaches on it and.. Boom, peach pie!
	8:26pm Flash Strap: some great church bells on this track in a minute
	🥁 8:26pm chresti: Hi sb/p!
	8:27pm Flash Strap: foreshadowing, perhaps, that Tyrone Washington would leave jazz to preach gospel full-time after this LP?
	8:28pm melinda: @Gary I first heard the Roches cover in the movie Crossing Delancey, I forget which album it's on.
	8:29pm Flash Strap: trying to break music on his way out
	8:29pm still b/p: chresti, chresti I'm shmearin' pizza with some pesti!
	8:29pm melinda: This here's crazy music!
	8:30pm Flash Strap: definitely, challenging stuff. "music to turn off the radio to"
	🥁 8:30pm chresti: did you want to come over for pie?
	🥁 8:31pm chresti: peach pesti!
	8:35pm Flash Strap: great pic of Mondshine : img.discogs.com...
	8:37pm spookcity: this song is right up my wheelhaus!
	8:38pm Flash Strap: hiya Spook!
	8:43pm Dean: Is that Fleetwoods tune the same as the one Bob Welch did on one of his solo albums? I missed it. Very pretty tune.
	8:45pm doctorjazz: Fun show, as usual .heading home (as usual ), catch you in the car and more later. Bye!
	8:46pm spookcity: hy buddy! mike & i are both enjoying the show immensely!
	8:48pm Flash Strap: Hi Dean!
	8:48pm Flash Strap: safe travels Doc!
	8:49pm Flash Strap: glad to hear it Spook, and warm hellow to Mike as well!
	8:51pm Dean: Yep, same song.
	8:52pm Dean: Is the stream cutting out for others? Or is it just my poopy wireless?
	8:53pm Flash Strap: i hate to say i hope it's just you, but i don't believe my broadcast signal has been cutting out, fwiw
	8:54pm still b/p: Eno sez he saved Art Decade from the rejected pile of material for Low. Worked it some more, then a reinterested Bowie worked it more.
	8:55pm Flash Strap: i read as much as well: bowiesongs.wordpress.com...
	8:55pm Dean: Judging from the way it's cutting out--it isn't skipping to the GTD stream--I think you're right.
	8:55pm Flash Strap: it does sound a lot like Eno material of the period
	8:57pm TDK60: Darnit, late again-- for Alice C., H. Partch, K. Ayers. Well at least I jumped on a bit.
	9:00pm Flash Strap: better late than never TDK, great to have you in the Room
	9:01pm TDK60: Was just reading about Fourier's influence on Surrealists.
	9:02pm Little Danny: this Suspended Memories is great, totally new to me
	9:04pm Little Danny: Whoa! I had no idea that this is what the Witchcraft LP sounds like...
	9:04pm Flash Strap: @LD: it's one of Jorge Reye's later projects
	9:04pm Flash Strap: It's criminally underrated imo. NOT just a novelty LP
	9:06pm Flash Strap: @TDK: i need to learn more about Fourier
	9:07pm Little Danny: Yeah, I'd seen the cover before but had no idea it was so out and trippy ...and nice segue into Tomita
	9:07pm TDK60: Me too; Bataille, on and on...
	9:08pm Flash Strap: it's really out, but it's also about as accessible as Louis and Bebe Barron get
	9:09pm melinda: I think Louise is the one who scoffs at "johnny-come-lately covens". Lol.
	9:10pm Flash Strap: haha that's amazing
	9:13pm TDK60: Heh hee: disco down Bird of Fire!
	🥁 9:13pm chresti: Louise Huebner later had an antique shop in Pasadena- Franco-if you're still there, did you ever go to her shop?
	9:14pm melinda: I heard it on Joe McGasko's show, if I remember correctly, and the use of that phrase just broke the spell.
	9:15pm melinda: @chresti cool!
	9:15pm quinn: finally i get to hear (part of) this show live again. yay!
	🥁 9:15pm chresti: I wonder if her kids are practicing the dark arts as well
	9:15pm TDK60: Buffy! I have this LP - I think prod. by Peter Schikele
	9:16pm Flash Strap: amazing LP, very unusual production
	9:16pm Flash Strap: Hi Quinn! wonderful to see you friend
	9:17pm Flash Strap: magic is a foot, we all know it. off with your socks
	9:20pm melinda: Fun set here!
	9:20pm Flash Strap: ah, very glad to hear it!
	9:22pm still b/p: Fred says, "Let's hear a Theremin trill like THIS!"
	9:23pm Flash Strap: @b/p: seriously. what an instrument he's got
	9:23pm Flash Strap: this Rodi really reminds me of Eno with Cluster / Harmonia
	9:29pm TDK60: ..used to have the This Is Madness LP; someone made off..
	9:31pm Flash Strap: I have a really wrecked Asian (can't remember the country now, might be Korea) pressing of it with an all-green cover, but i can't really play it. pretty cool though. great record
	9:35pm still b/p: A chance to participate in the studio with Spike Jones or Brian Eno. Choose.
	9:35pm JayD: You have been KILLING IT all night, especially with the witchy beatnik set!
	🥁 9:36pm chresti: spike jones
	9:38pm Dean: Spike Jones, no question.
	9:38pm melinda: I dig the witchy beatnik vibe too
	9:42pm Flash Strap: thanks and hello JayD!
	9:43pm Flash Strap: yeah it's hard but I gotta say Spike
	🥁 9:44pm chresti: wow donovan
	9:45pm Flash Strap: love Donovan forever
	9:46pm Dean: It's weird, because I think of Donovan as "old" relative to my situation, but that record was released in '73 and I saw him live in '76 when he opened for (sitting down?) Yes in Las Vegas.
	9:47pm northguineahills: Buffy Sainte-Marie cane pre-clickied.
	9:47pm TDK60: Donovan : yes! Celtic psych ancestor
	9:48pm northguineahills: Now that guitar lick has been sampled many a'times.....
	9:49pm Flash Strap: This Doris Duke record is entirely unparalleled in my opinion. all-time great record
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: 12 minutes! i need more than this!!
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: - and a beer. \ {hi Evan & Explorers}
	9:51pm TDK60: We refuse to let the next DJ into the control booth! like that maniacal one in the Buddy Holly movie!
	9:52pm Flash Strap: Hi Coelacanth!
	9:53pm Flash Strap: haha but TDK Little Danny is a fuckin' killer on the ones and twos, you gotta let him in
	9:54pm coelacanth∅: well, i want to hear Little Danny too, just -after at least 2 hours of explorers room. and from what i recognise in the playlist, i've missed an extraordinary program.
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: (i'm damn tired of this commuting on thursdays arrangement)
	9:55pm TDK60: ..was just figuratively, surrealistically kiddin'..
	🥁 9:56pm chresti: hi coelanth
	9:57pm Flash Strap: i know it, fellas C., I wish it weren't so. My wife commutes on Thursdays this semester too, leaving me with no one to nervously ask how the show was, in detail
	9:57pm Little Danny: Haha
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: heyy chresti!
	9:58pm Little Danny: Thanks and thanks Evan! Next up we gather 'round ye Coole Blue Flame: wfmu.org...
	9:58pm northguineahills: So, errr, uhmmm, how was the show, Evan?
	9:59pm northguineahills: Thanks, Flash, you gave me a great nap sndtrk!
	9:59pm Flash Strap: NGH, you are my wife
	9:59pm TDK60: That song about Hue '68 likely serious, in Vietnamese.
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: i used to drive back on fridays, and i'd usually miss none or not more than 1/2 hour of Daniel Blumen. that was good, but i can't work there now on fridays.
	10:00pm northguineahills: I might just be.... then who is my wife? confusion ensues!
	10:00pm still b/p: I went to an Alice Cooper show in Providence in 76 or 77, and Donovan opened but we arrived late as he finished up his final number, Hurdy Gurdy Man. is I'd caught the whole set. Thanks for good slice of show tonight.
	10:00pm Flash Strap: Real Serious, TDK
	🥁 10:00pm chresti: thanks! flash!
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: oh,okay. Thanks Evan!
	10:00pm Flash Strap: thanks all, goodnight
