	🥁 ♥ 7:31pm chresti: Flash- are you in an auditorium?
	♥ 7:32pm hyde: i just rewatched the "Schizoid Man" ep of The Prisoner. Mcgoohan is just amazing in that.
	7:34pm Flash Strap: why do you ask? did the mic break sound odd?
	7:34pm Flash Strap: so true, Hyde
	7:34pm Flash Strap: Asheville Jon! Hello!
	🥁 ♥ 7:36pm chresti: Echo-
	7:37pm geezerette: Swanning at Le Cirque. Waiter, another pitcher of martinis please. Hold the olives, I'm on a diet. %^) Is that Patrick Mcgoohan behind the potted palm?
	7:37pm Flash Strap: that's weird
	7:39pm Flash Strap: some great stuff on Vol. 6 - that Jungle Soul is a killer
	🥁 ♥ 7:39pm chresti: did you turn on the echo switch ?
	7:40pm Flash Strap: did everybody get a weird echo off that last mic break? i have no idea what would cause that
	7:40pm Flash Strap: i wish I HAD an echo switch!
	♥ 7:41pm hyde: aw, i missed the weird echo
	7:42pm geezerette: No echo here either.
	7:42pm Flash Strap: this whole record (vol.6) co-written by Arel again
	7:43pm Flash Strap: Franco, Chresti, maybe the echo switch is on your end?
	7:43pm glenn: i truly love a martini, just one or two at the most. after three i'm under the table, four i'm under the host. dorothy parker.
	7:43pm Flash Strap: this one is HOTT
	🥁 ♥ 7:44pm chresti: I'll look at the desk top- maybe Franco opened another player
	7:44pm geezerette: Gawd, I love this cheesey glamor so much. Very relaxing. Ha ha, that Dottie, such a hoot!!!
	7:45pm Flash Strap: just watched Gun Crazy last night, hoo boy now there's a flick. hadn't seen it in years
	🥁 ♥ 7:45pm chresti: Yup! All fixed! Nevermind!
	7:46pm Flash Strap: haha you put a scare in me! checking all my equipment like a fiend
	7:47pm Flash Strap: this one, with that huge swell, is really effectively psychedelic at times
	7:48pm glenn: www.thestar.com...
	7:48pm geezerette: Love Gun Crazy. Talk about your Femmes Fatale!
	🥁 ♥ 7:48pm Asheville Jon: speaking of huge swells, hurricane info: www.ventusky.com...
	♥ 7:48pm hyde: @Flash man, i love love love that movie
	7:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...are you sure this is the stuff Hendrix uses??...
	♥ 7:49pm hyde: @geez that intro scene where she comes out on stage and the camera pans up to her half snarling half smiling face is the best
	7:50pm geezerette: Hyde, totally agree!
	7:51pm Flash Strap: what a fucking meet cute too, just shooting right at each other's heads in an erotic danse macabre at a grotesque carnival
	7:51pm Flash Strap: but it's all about those frenetic verite and tracking shots for me
	7:52pm Flash Strap: @Asheville Jon: are you about to get hit pretty hard? I heard parts of the mountains were gettin' it good
	♥ 7:53pm hyde: @Flash Joseph H. Lewis made some good flicks. Have you seen The Big Combo? that's quality too
	7:55pm geezerette: It's a great film. :D Also, Nightmare Alley. Chresti, that vortex is HUGE. Egad!
	♥ 7:55pm northguineahills: Been here the whole time, just trying to finish work.
	🥁 ♥ 7:55pm chresti: Wow, I've not seen any of those flicks!
	7:55pm Flash Strap: haven't seen any of his other movies, i don't think. will do though
	7:56pm geezerette: I have,Hyde. Love Noir.
	🥁 ♥ 7:56pm doctorjazz: Some bebop, makes me smile!
	7:56pm Flash Strap: have been watching Michael Powell again, god I love him. A Matter of Life and Death and all-time exotica classic, Thief of Bagdad
	7:56pm Flash Strap: me too Doc
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Hi NGH! glad you're with us comrade
	♥ 7:57pm hyde: i like Terror in a Texas Town by Lewis too. Big Combo is shot by John Alton, and it looks spectacular.
	♥ 7:58pm hyde: @geez i always knew you had taste ;)
	7:58pm Flash Strap: gotta see it then, that sounds great
	7:58pm Flash Strap: while we're on noir, anybody seen Ride The Pink Horse? that's a weird and wonderful one
	8:00pm geezerette: Agree on all the above! Been watching on Filmstruck. It's a treasure chest. All this jazz! :)
	8:00pm Flash Strap: the jazz really is a balm in this gilead of grooves
	8:01pm geezerette: Evan, that's poetry!
	♥ 8:02pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan & Explorers
	8:03pm geezerette: I LOVE Ride The Pink Horse! It's crazy like a dream! (Now I want nachos.)
	🥁 ♥ 8:03pm melinda: Ready for mood music!
	♥ 8:03pm hyde: @Flash yeah, have seen that. the one Robert Montgomery directed. the novel by Dorothy B. Hughes is really good too
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Hi Coelacanth!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: crazy like a dream, exactly. love that movie to death
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Hello Melinda!
	8:06pm Flash Strap: next one is pure gold exotic
	🥁 ♥ 8:07pm melinda: Glad to hear the storm has not interfered with your show, Flash!
	8:08pm Flash Strap: so far! fingers crossed but it looks like we'll be fine
	8:08pm Flash Strap: i LOVE this Music from Hoang Ho
	♥ 8:10pm hyde: yeah, this is amazing
	8:11pm geezerette: Cues so much imagery.
	8:12pm Flash Strap: a little "wade in the water" going on here
	8:13pm geezerette: Wade in the Water?! Just not in Carolina!
	8:14pm Flash Strap: ha, it's hardly even raining atm
	8:15pm geezerette: Here's to staying dry! Great music!!!
	8:16pm Flash Strap: thanks G.!
	♥ 8:18pm Franco Twinkie: Flash, this is excellent music to sit out on the front porch and groove on a late summer afternoon. Even though I'm sneezing my goddamned head off! Rag weed or some such shit.
	8:20pm Flash Strap: i hate when early-autumn/late-summer allergies strike back like that
	♥ 8:21pm Franco Twinkie: It's my curse in life.
	8:22pm Flash Strap: this LP reminds me somewhat of the Yusef Lateef / Martin Denny strategy of adding an unexpected instrument to the ensemble and showcasing it – not quite as rich as either Denny or Lateef but it's sort of the big trick of exotic/psychedelic music
	8:24pm geezerette: Has Dutour scored films?
	8:25pm Flash Strap: of course it's also a mainstay of library music to have multiples of the same groove with different lead instruments subbed in, or to have "underscores" where the leads are taken out altogether
	8:26pm Flash Strap: @G: not sure if he has any original soundtracks to his name, but his library themes have definitely been used in things
	8:28pm Flash Strap: jazz is back!
	♥ 8:28pm northguineahills: Digging this Jack Dieval!
	8:28pm geezerette: It's irresistable.
	8:28pm Flash Strap: me too NGH! it's a great volume all-round, actually
	♥ 8:30pm hyde: solid jazz!
	8:30pm Flash Strap: side a is "Campus Nº1-4" with Paris Jazz Quartet, side b is a little more straightforward with the Dieval quartet, we'll hear a little of both. great LP
	🥁 ♥ 8:31pm doctorjazz: Thanks Evan, time to hit the road.
	8:31pm Flash Strap: so many Take 5s pop up throughout the Dance and Mood series, it's hilarious going through it all
	8:32pm Flash Strap: my pleasure Doc! safe travels
	8:33pm Flash Strap: man, i like this Hotel de Rohan number
	8:37pm geezerette: it's like ice in a cool drink. Hot in L.A.; so thank you!
	8:45pm Florence: This show really blows. In a GOOD way.
	8:47pm Doug Schulkind: Explorers Swoon!
	8:50pm Flash Strap: Ah, thank you Florence, kind of you to let it go on
	8:50pm Flash Strap: and hello to the glamorous Fainting Douglas!
	🥁 ♥ 8:52pm melinda: Urban drug scene chase!
	8:52pm Flash Strap: totally, classic summer scene
	♥ 8:54pm northguineahills: Ok, leaving work, thanks Evan!
	8:54pm Flash Strap: my pleasure NGH! enjoy your evening my friend
	🥁 ♥ 8:55pm melinda: ngh this is good "leaving work" music too!
	8:55pm Flash Strap: seriously
	🥁 ♥ 8:56pm melinda: Everyone needs a good soundtrack for their daily routine.
	8:58pm Flash Strap: such is the beauty and potential in library music, imo
	♥ 9:00pm hyde: did i mention this was super cool?
	9:00pm Flash Strap: no, but now that you do, I must concur
	9:01pm Flash Strap: reminds me of Odessa in this section
	🥁 ♥ 9:01pm quinn: yesss
	🥁 ♥ 9:01pm melinda: @Flash totally. I need more in my collection. It's especially fun to play in the store where I work. I like the idea of people walking into a movie they didn't know they were going to be in.
	9:02pm geezerette: this is gorgeous. And over the top.
	🥁 ♥ 9:03pm quinn: @melinda i want to walk in to your store
	9:03pm geezerette: Melinda, those people are lucky!
	9:03pm Flash Strap: @Melinda- i totally agree, i think about music like that all the time and i really enjoy how stimulating that approach can be
	9:04pm Flash Strap: Hi Quinn! and i agree, sounds like I want to walk into that store!
	♥ 9:07pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Melinda. Are you in stormland?
	9:07pm geezerette: I've heard a lot of bad library music. This is the creme.
	9:09pm Flash Strap: yeah you have to wade through a lot of bad or just bland stuff but the treasure is there and it is rich
	♥ 9:10pm coelacanth∅: okay it's settled. we all meet in melinda's store at 11.11 am tomorrow. everybody good?
	🥁 ♥ 9:10pm chresti: I like to have this playing where I work too!
	9:11pm Flash Strap: i have a few more library shows in the works for the near future, once I get the various series a bit more complete: Telecineradio/TVMusic (Chappell); Cenacolo, Tele Music, Coloursound, Studio G
	🥁 ♥ 9:11pm melinda: hi Franco! No storm here, though there is a high surf advisory.
	🥁 ♥ 9:12pm chresti: I'm in! Melinda's store!
	♥ 9:13pm Franco Twinkie: So right you are, Flash. If I could just make myself get rid of all the bland records in my collection, maybe I could walk through the living room without tripping and falling on my face.
	🥁 ♥ 9:13pm chresti: Flash- you are a fine curator of library music!
	9:15pm Flash Strap: Ah, thank you Chresti! I do try rather hard to be
	♥ 9:15pm Franco Twinkie: Who lives in Mass? Are things really exploding all over the place?
	🥁 ♥ 9:15pm chresti: @Franco: Or install shelves
	9:16pm Flash Strap: it's hard with library stuff Franco, because the treasure is right alongside the bland on the same records pretty regularly
	🥁 ♥ 9:16pm melinda: We have tiny cheap speakers at the store so I think everyone would be underwhelmed, actually. But what's nice about good library music is that it is probably unexpected music, yet unlikely to provoke a negative response (this has happened before) since it is intentional background.
	🥁 ♥ 9:17pm chresti: Labor intensive @Flash
	🥁 ♥ 9:19pm chresti: We'll bring a sound system!
	9:19pm Flash Strap: that's how it sneaks in! very cool, Melinda
	🥁 ♥ 9:21pm chresti: customers that are sharp listeners pick up on it, I bet
	🥁 ♥ 9:21pm melinda: I googled the Boston explosions and it sounds horrible. But with this music as a backdrop it didn't quite sink in! That's the power of library music.
	♥ 9:24pm coelacanth∅: chresti (@9.19) haha!
	♥ 9:24pm Franco Twinkie: Programming through repetition. When I was teenager my sister and myself would play the Mothers of Invention until my mom would sing along, then catch herself and say "Turn that crap off!"
	9:25pm Flash Strap: selections from vol. 17 courtesy the drummer stream's own Tony Coulter, the only person in the world who seems to have this record and who ripped to tracks for us tonight Big sincere thank you to Tony! These are easily two of the best selections of the evening
	9:25pm Flash Strap: that's hilarious, what Mothers album?
	♥ 9:26pm coelacanth∅: have to reboot my computer. i put it in sleep mode earlier, as an experiment. it has nightmares i guess then takes it out on me. see yin 10-15
	🥁 ♥ 9:26pm melinda: I don't know if much of what I have might qualify as library music but I have some good film music and other instrumentals. The other day I was playing Herb Alpert's Rise, and a lady commented that it sounded like 007 music, which it did. And I made a mental note to seek out more atmospheric instrumentals.
	9:27pm Flash Strap: pretty good resource right here: librarymusic.eklablog.com
	🥁 ♥ 9:28pm melinda: These are great, indeed. Thanks, Tony!
	♥ 9:29pm Franco Twinkie: Uncle Meat. She really liked/hated Cruising For Burgers. Also, Burnt Weeny Sandwich. WPLJ would drive her up the wall with all the swearing in spanish.
	🥁 ♥ 9:29pm chresti: Agree! Extra moody!
	9:29pm Flash Strap: that;s funny to imagine Franco
	9:35pm Dean: Damn. Wanted to hear v.15.
	♥ 9:35pm coelacanth∅: i don't know if i have any "library music". if the record or album cover doesn't say "library music" on it, i wouldn't know.
	9:36pm Dean: Discogs has four copies of v.15 for sale: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/11051853?ev=rb
	9:40pm Dean: Oh, wait. You're after v.14.
	9:41pm Dean: ...in which case, even more: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/1997740?ev=rb
	🥁 ♥ 9:41pm melinda: @coel I use the term broadly, not very good at identifying it either.
	9:43pm Flash Strap: Hi Dean! yeah man I don't have the bread to buy every last thing I want to play on this show, sadly. sometimes i gotta rely on the kindness of strangers, so to speak
	9:44pm Flash Strap: @C. : a lot of times you can just go by the label
	♥ 9:44pm coelacanth∅: i understand the concept; but without researching particular artists &/or labels how am i to tell whether it's library music or just an artist that doesn't know that his or her music sounds generic?
	♥ 9:45pm coelacanth∅: (or maybe does)
	🥁 ♥ 9:48pm Little Danny: Jesus those volumes get WAY OUT
	9:48pm Dean: For sure. Same predicament here. There are those occasions when I force my kids to go without dinner, because, well, priorities. But completing a collection would weigh heavily in favor of going for one title over another. I've always assumed library music was composed and recorded to market to industries seeking royalty-free "background" music. In essence they stocked a "library" of tracks for those industries.
	♥ 9:48pm coelacanth∅: so - why would this track be called library music? just because it was commissioned? i mean it's far more interesting than 1/2 the music most people "listen" to i think.
	9:49pm Flash Strap: it's pretty difficult unless you have a working knowledge of the labels, their sensibilities, and the recurring artists you gravitate towards (and their pseudonyms). but it's not that hard after a little while of exploring, honestly
	9:49pm Flash Strap: that's precisely the case, Dean. well-put
	9:50pm Flash Strap: @C.: yeah it has to do with the patronage structure of the "library" label. they commission it, but often the artists have the freedom to do what interests them
	9:51pm Flash Strap: this one is fire
	♥ 9:52pm TDK60: signed in...I see talk of "library music" I know little so I'll listen..
	♥ 9:53pm coelacanth∅: right okay. like an artist might make something pretty far out, and market it as "something you might want for a wild party scene in your film"...(etc)
	9:53pm Flash Strap: hi TDK!
	9:53pm geezerette: Wonderful show,Evan. Thanks so much! Good evening, all!
	9:53pm Dean: A neighbor of mine has what I believe is an extremely large collection of library music. I think he's been at it for quite some time.
	🥁 ♥ 9:54pm melinda: @coel yeah, I think I've used the term incorrectly because the interestingness of the sound (or lack thereof) isn't a giveaway.
	♥ 9:55pm coelacanth∅: is there no sound? or is that it for my laptop?
	🥁 ♥ 9:55pm melinda: I learned the term right here on this show, and it was one of the things that drew me in.
	9:55pm Flash Strap: @C: yeah. the label's whole purpose is to take those recordings and market them to productions, and since some productions need that wild stuff, from industrial films to psych freakouts in hippie tv shows or b-movies, they have room for that too. it;s super market commercialism, but also not that unlike the pure music research of something like Bell laboratories
	🥁 ♥ 9:55pm melinda: Love this one.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56pm Little Danny: Evan might vouch better for this, but in my opinion library collectors are the most intense cats in the collector game
	♥ 9:57pm TDK60: ...hadn't heard of this term till recently, here at Woofmoo U. of course. Is there a Quiz at the end tonight?
	♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: hey the standells did the munsters theme. gotta pay the bills.
	🥁 ♥ 9:57pm Little Danny: I will be revisiting this show. Thanks again Flash All chase scenes wind up here: wfmu.org... Please join!
	9:58pm Flash Strap: they are super intense, definitely would view me as an absurd dilettante. they are by turns wondrously magnanimous and jealously protective
	🥁 ♥ 9:58pm melinda: Intense in what way?
	10:00pm Dean: For intensity of collecting, I'd have to nominate my high school pal who took graveyard shift jobs in college during the school year to fund his habit. His focus, if you can call it that, was European progressive rock, punk, and metal, beginning in the mid-'70s. He parlayed his connections with LA area record stores into a business run on eBay. Essentially, he bought CDs by the pound from retailers, then very successfully auctioned them off on eBay.
	🥁 ♥ 10:00pm chresti: Thanks Flash-see ya later!
	10:01pm Flash Strap: thanks all, best of nights! keep dry under these storm clouds and don't let the wind take you with it
	10:01pm Barbra Baelish: Thank you flesh strap. We love you and your discs.
	🥁 ♥ 10:01pm melinda: Great show, thanks!
	10:09pm Flash Strap: @Barb: thumbs up
	♥ 4:39pm Stanley: Just caught up and.....WOW!

	♥ 7:32pm hyde: i just rewatched the "Schizoid Man" ep of The Prisoner. Mcgoohan is just amazing in that.
	7:34pm Flash Strap: why do you ask? did the mic break sound odd?
	7:34pm Flash Strap: so true, Hyde
	7:34pm Flash Strap: Asheville Jon! Hello!
	🥁 ♥ 7:36pm chresti: Echo-
	7:37pm geezerette: Swanning at Le Cirque. Waiter, another pitcher of martinis please. Hold the olives, I'm on a diet. %^) Is that Patrick Mcgoohan behind the potted palm?
	7:37pm Flash Strap: that's weird
	7:39pm Flash Strap: some great stuff on Vol. 6 - that Jungle Soul is a killer
	🥁 ♥ 7:39pm chresti: did you turn on the echo switch ?
	7:40pm Flash Strap: did everybody get a weird echo off that last mic break? i have no idea what would cause that
	7:40pm Flash Strap: i wish I HAD an echo switch!
	♥ 7:41pm hyde: aw, i missed the weird echo
	7:42pm geezerette: No echo here either.
	7:42pm Flash Strap: this whole record (vol.6) co-written by Arel again
	7:43pm Flash Strap: Franco, Chresti, maybe the echo switch is on your end?
	7:43pm glenn: i truly love a martini, just one or two at the most. after three i'm under the table, four i'm under the host. dorothy parker.
	7:43pm Flash Strap: this one is HOTT
	🥁 ♥ 7:44pm chresti: I'll look at the desk top- maybe Franco opened another player
	7:44pm geezerette: Gawd, I love this cheesey glamor so much. Very relaxing. Ha ha, that Dottie, such a hoot!!!
	7:45pm Flash Strap: just watched Gun Crazy last night, hoo boy now there's a flick. hadn't seen it in years
	🥁 ♥ 7:45pm chresti: Yup! All fixed! Nevermind!
	7:46pm Flash Strap: haha you put a scare in me! checking all my equipment like a fiend
	7:47pm Flash Strap: this one, with that huge swell, is really effectively psychedelic at times
	7:48pm glenn: www.thestar.com...
	7:48pm geezerette: Love Gun Crazy. Talk about your Femmes Fatale!
	🥁 ♥ 7:48pm Asheville Jon: speaking of huge swells, hurricane info: www.ventusky.com...
	♥ 7:48pm hyde: @Flash man, i love love love that movie
	7:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...are you sure this is the stuff Hendrix uses??...
	♥ 7:49pm hyde: @geez that intro scene where she comes out on stage and the camera pans up to her half snarling half smiling face is the best
	7:50pm geezerette: Hyde, totally agree!
	7:51pm Flash Strap: what a fucking meet cute too, just shooting right at each other's heads in an erotic danse macabre at a grotesque carnival
	7:51pm Flash Strap: but it's all about those frenetic verite and tracking shots for me
	7:52pm Flash Strap: @Asheville Jon: are you about to get hit pretty hard? I heard parts of the mountains were gettin' it good
	♥ 7:53pm hyde: @Flash Joseph H. Lewis made some good flicks. Have you seen The Big Combo? that's quality too
	7:55pm geezerette: It's a great film. :D Also, Nightmare Alley. Chresti, that vortex is HUGE. Egad!
	♥ 7:55pm northguineahills: Been here the whole time, just trying to finish work.
	🥁 ♥ 7:55pm chresti: Wow, I've not seen any of those flicks!
	7:55pm Flash Strap: haven't seen any of his other movies, i don't think. will do though
	7:56pm geezerette: I have,Hyde. Love Noir.
	🥁 ♥ 7:56pm doctorjazz: Some bebop, makes me smile!
	7:56pm Flash Strap: have been watching Michael Powell again, god I love him. A Matter of Life and Death and all-time exotica classic, Thief of Bagdad
	7:56pm Flash Strap: me too Doc
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Hi NGH! glad you're with us comrade
	♥ 7:57pm hyde: i like Terror in a Texas Town by Lewis too. Big Combo is shot by John Alton, and it looks spectacular.
	♥ 7:58pm hyde: @geez i always knew you had taste ;)
	7:58pm Flash Strap: gotta see it then, that sounds great
	7:58pm Flash Strap: while we're on noir, anybody seen Ride The Pink Horse? that's a weird and wonderful one
	8:00pm geezerette: Agree on all the above! Been watching on Filmstruck. It's a treasure chest. All this jazz! :)
	8:00pm Flash Strap: the jazz really is a balm in this gilead of grooves
	8:01pm geezerette: Evan, that's poetry!
	♥ 8:02pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan & Explorers
	8:03pm geezerette: I LOVE Ride The Pink Horse! It's crazy like a dream! (Now I want nachos.)
	🥁 ♥ 8:03pm melinda: Ready for mood music!
	♥ 8:03pm hyde: @Flash yeah, have seen that. the one Robert Montgomery directed. the novel by Dorothy B. Hughes is really good too
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Hi Coelacanth!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: crazy like a dream, exactly. love that movie to death
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Hello Melinda!
	8:06pm Flash Strap: next one is pure gold exotic
	🥁 ♥ 8:07pm melinda: Glad to hear the storm has not interfered with your show, Flash!
	8:08pm Flash Strap: so far! fingers crossed but it looks like we'll be fine
	8:08pm Flash Strap: i LOVE this Music from Hoang Ho
	♥ 8:10pm hyde: yeah, this is amazing
	8:11pm geezerette: Cues so much imagery.
	8:12pm Flash Strap: a little "wade in the water" going on here
	8:13pm geezerette: Wade in the Water?! Just not in Carolina!
	8:14pm Flash Strap: ha, it's hardly even raining atm
	8:15pm geezerette: Here's to staying dry! Great music!!!
	8:16pm Flash Strap: thanks G.!
	♥ 8:18pm Franco Twinkie: Flash, this is excellent music to sit out on the front porch and groove on a late summer afternoon. Even though I'm sneezing my goddamned head off! Rag weed or some such shit.
	8:20pm Flash Strap: i hate when early-autumn/late-summer allergies strike back like that
	♥ 8:21pm Franco Twinkie: It's my curse in life.
	8:22pm Flash Strap: this LP reminds me somewhat of the Yusef Lateef / Martin Denny strategy of adding an unexpected instrument to the ensemble and showcasing it – not quite as rich as either Denny or Lateef but it's sort of the big trick of exotic/psychedelic music
	8:24pm geezerette: Has Dutour scored films?
	8:25pm Flash Strap: of course it's also a mainstay of library music to have multiples of the same groove with different lead instruments subbed in, or to have "underscores" where the leads are taken out altogether
	8:26pm Flash Strap: @G: not sure if he has any original soundtracks to his name, but his library themes have definitely been used in things
	8:28pm Flash Strap: jazz is back!
	♥ 8:28pm northguineahills: Digging this Jack Dieval!
	8:28pm geezerette: It's irresistable.
	8:28pm Flash Strap: me too NGH! it's a great volume all-round, actually
	♥ 8:30pm hyde: solid jazz!
	8:30pm Flash Strap: side a is "Campus Nº1-4" with Paris Jazz Quartet, side b is a little more straightforward with the Dieval quartet, we'll hear a little of both. great LP
	🥁 ♥ 8:31pm doctorjazz: Thanks Evan, time to hit the road.
	8:31pm Flash Strap: so many Take 5s pop up throughout the Dance and Mood series, it's hilarious going through it all
	8:32pm Flash Strap: my pleasure Doc! safe travels
	8:33pm Flash Strap: man, i like this Hotel de Rohan number
	8:37pm geezerette: it's like ice in a cool drink. Hot in L.A.; so thank you!
	8:45pm Florence: This show really blows. In a GOOD way.
	8:47pm Doug Schulkind: Explorers Swoon!
	8:50pm Flash Strap: Ah, thank you Florence, kind of you to let it go on
	8:50pm Flash Strap: and hello to the glamorous Fainting Douglas!
	🥁 ♥ 8:52pm melinda: Urban drug scene chase!
	8:52pm Flash Strap: totally, classic summer scene
	♥ 8:54pm northguineahills: Ok, leaving work, thanks Evan!
	8:54pm Flash Strap: my pleasure NGH! enjoy your evening my friend
	🥁 ♥ 8:55pm melinda: ngh this is good "leaving work" music too!
	8:55pm Flash Strap: seriously
	🥁 ♥ 8:56pm melinda: Everyone needs a good soundtrack for their daily routine.
	8:58pm Flash Strap: such is the beauty and potential in library music, imo
	♥ 9:00pm hyde: did i mention this was super cool?
	9:00pm Flash Strap: no, but now that you do, I must concur
	9:01pm Flash Strap: reminds me of Odessa in this section
	🥁 ♥ 9:01pm quinn: yesss
	🥁 ♥ 9:01pm melinda: @Flash totally. I need more in my collection. It's especially fun to play in the store where I work. I like the idea of people walking into a movie they didn't know they were going to be in.
	9:02pm geezerette: this is gorgeous. And over the top.
	🥁 ♥ 9:03pm quinn: @melinda i want to walk in to your store
	9:03pm geezerette: Melinda, those people are lucky!
	9:03pm Flash Strap: @Melinda- i totally agree, i think about music like that all the time and i really enjoy how stimulating that approach can be
	9:04pm Flash Strap: Hi Quinn! and i agree, sounds like I want to walk into that store!
	♥ 9:07pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Melinda. Are you in stormland?
	9:07pm geezerette: I've heard a lot of bad library music. This is the creme.
	9:09pm Flash Strap: yeah you have to wade through a lot of bad or just bland stuff but the treasure is there and it is rich
	♥ 9:10pm coelacanth∅: okay it's settled. we all meet in melinda's store at 11.11 am tomorrow. everybody good?
	🥁 ♥ 9:10pm chresti: I like to have this playing where I work too!
	9:11pm Flash Strap: i have a few more library shows in the works for the near future, once I get the various series a bit more complete: Telecineradio/TVMusic (Chappell); Cenacolo, Tele Music, Coloursound, Studio G
	🥁 ♥ 9:11pm melinda: hi Franco! No storm here, though there is a high surf advisory.
	🥁 ♥ 9:12pm chresti: I'm in! Melinda's store!
	♥ 9:13pm Franco Twinkie: So right you are, Flash. If I could just make myself get rid of all the bland records in my collection, maybe I could walk through the living room without tripping and falling on my face.
	🥁 ♥ 9:13pm chresti: Flash- you are a fine curator of library music!
	9:15pm Flash Strap: Ah, thank you Chresti! I do try rather hard to be
	♥ 9:15pm Franco Twinkie: Who lives in Mass? Are things really exploding all over the place?
	🥁 ♥ 9:15pm chresti: @Franco: Or install shelves
	9:16pm Flash Strap: it's hard with library stuff Franco, because the treasure is right alongside the bland on the same records pretty regularly
	🥁 ♥ 9:16pm melinda: We have tiny cheap speakers at the store so I think everyone would be underwhelmed, actually. But what's nice about good library music is that it is probably unexpected music, yet unlikely to provoke a negative response (this has happened before) since it is intentional background.
	🥁 ♥ 9:17pm chresti: Labor intensive @Flash
	🥁 ♥ 9:19pm chresti: We'll bring a sound system!
	9:19pm Flash Strap: that's how it sneaks in! very cool, Melinda
	🥁 ♥ 9:21pm chresti: customers that are sharp listeners pick up on it, I bet
	🥁 ♥ 9:21pm melinda: I googled the Boston explosions and it sounds horrible. But with this music as a backdrop it didn't quite sink in! That's the power of library music.
	♥ 9:24pm coelacanth∅: chresti (@9.19) haha!
	♥ 9:24pm Franco Twinkie: Programming through repetition. When I was teenager my sister and myself would play the Mothers of Invention until my mom would sing along, then catch herself and say "Turn that crap off!"
	9:25pm Flash Strap: selections from vol. 17 courtesy the drummer stream's own Tony Coulter, the only person in the world who seems to have this record and who ripped to tracks for us tonight Big sincere thank you to Tony! These are easily two of the best selections of the evening
	9:25pm Flash Strap: that's hilarious, what Mothers album?
	♥ 9:26pm coelacanth∅: have to reboot my computer. i put it in sleep mode earlier, as an experiment. it has nightmares i guess then takes it out on me. see yin 10-15
	🥁 ♥ 9:26pm melinda: I don't know if much of what I have might qualify as library music but I have some good film music and other instrumentals. The other day I was playing Herb Alpert's Rise, and a lady commented that it sounded like 007 music, which it did. And I made a mental note to seek out more atmospheric instrumentals.
	9:27pm Flash Strap: pretty good resource right here: librarymusic.eklablog.com
	🥁 ♥ 9:28pm melinda: These are great, indeed. Thanks, Tony!
	♥ 9:29pm Franco Twinkie: Uncle Meat. She really liked/hated Cruising For Burgers. Also, Burnt Weeny Sandwich. WPLJ would drive her up the wall with all the swearing in spanish.
	🥁 ♥ 9:29pm chresti: Agree! Extra moody!
	9:29pm Flash Strap: that;s funny to imagine Franco
	9:35pm Dean: Damn. Wanted to hear v.15.
	♥ 9:35pm coelacanth∅: i don't know if i have any "library music". if the record or album cover doesn't say "library music" on it, i wouldn't know.
	9:36pm Dean: Discogs has four copies of v.15 for sale: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/11051853?ev=rb
	9:40pm Dean: Oh, wait. You're after v.14.
	9:41pm Dean: ...in which case, even more: https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/1997740?ev=rb
	🥁 ♥ 9:41pm melinda: @coel I use the term broadly, not very good at identifying it either.
	9:43pm Flash Strap: Hi Dean! yeah man I don't have the bread to buy every last thing I want to play on this show, sadly. sometimes i gotta rely on the kindness of strangers, so to speak
	9:44pm Flash Strap: @C. : a lot of times you can just go by the label
	♥ 9:44pm coelacanth∅: i understand the concept; but without researching particular artists &/or labels how am i to tell whether it's library music or just an artist that doesn't know that his or her music sounds generic?
	♥ 9:45pm coelacanth∅: (or maybe does)
	🥁 ♥ 9:48pm Little Danny: Jesus those volumes get WAY OUT
	9:48pm Dean: For sure. Same predicament here. There are those occasions when I force my kids to go without dinner, because, well, priorities. But completing a collection would weigh heavily in favor of going for one title over another. I've always assumed library music was composed and recorded to market to industries seeking royalty-free "background" music. In essence they stocked a "library" of tracks for those industries.
	♥ 9:48pm coelacanth∅: so - why would this track be called library music? just because it was commissioned? i mean it's far more interesting than 1/2 the music most people "listen" to i think.
	9:49pm Flash Strap: it's pretty difficult unless you have a working knowledge of the labels, their sensibilities, and the recurring artists you gravitate towards (and their pseudonyms). but it's not that hard after a little while of exploring, honestly
	9:49pm Flash Strap: that's precisely the case, Dean. well-put
	9:50pm Flash Strap: @C.: yeah it has to do with the patronage structure of the "library" label. they commission it, but often the artists have the freedom to do what interests them
	9:51pm Flash Strap: this one is fire
	♥ 9:52pm TDK60: signed in...I see talk of "library music" I know little so I'll listen..
	♥ 9:53pm coelacanth∅: right okay. like an artist might make something pretty far out, and market it as "something you might want for a wild party scene in your film"...(etc)
	9:53pm Flash Strap: hi TDK!
	9:53pm geezerette: Wonderful show,Evan. Thanks so much! Good evening, all!
	9:53pm Dean: A neighbor of mine has what I believe is an extremely large collection of library music. I think he's been at it for quite some time.
	🥁 ♥ 9:54pm melinda: @coel yeah, I think I've used the term incorrectly because the interestingness of the sound (or lack thereof) isn't a giveaway.
	♥ 9:55pm coelacanth∅: is there no sound? or is that it for my laptop?
	🥁 ♥ 9:55pm melinda: I learned the term right here on this show, and it was one of the things that drew me in.
	9:55pm Flash Strap: @C: yeah. the label's whole purpose is to take those recordings and market them to productions, and since some productions need that wild stuff, from industrial films to psych freakouts in hippie tv shows or b-movies, they have room for that too. it;s super market commercialism, but also not that unlike the pure music research of something like Bell laboratories
	🥁 ♥ 9:55pm melinda: Love this one.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56pm Little Danny: Evan might vouch better for this, but in my opinion library collectors are the most intense cats in the collector game
	♥ 9:57pm TDK60: ...hadn't heard of this term till recently, here at Woofmoo U. of course. Is there a Quiz at the end tonight?
	♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: hey the standells did the munsters theme. gotta pay the bills.
	🥁 ♥ 9:57pm Little Danny: I will be revisiting this show. Thanks again Flash All chase scenes wind up here: wfmu.org... Please join!
	9:58pm Flash Strap: they are super intense, definitely would view me as an absurd dilettante. they are by turns wondrously magnanimous and jealously protective
	🥁 ♥ 9:58pm melinda: Intense in what way?
	10:00pm Dean: For intensity of collecting, I'd have to nominate my high school pal who took graveyard shift jobs in college during the school year to fund his habit. His focus, if you can call it that, was European progressive rock, punk, and metal, beginning in the mid-'70s. He parlayed his connections with LA area record stores into a business run on eBay. Essentially, he bought CDs by the pound from retailers, then very successfully auctioned them off on eBay.
	🥁 ♥ 10:00pm chresti: Thanks Flash-see ya later!
	10:01pm Flash Strap: thanks all, best of nights! keep dry under these storm clouds and don't let the wind take you with it
	10:01pm Barbra Baelish: Thank you flesh strap. We love you and your discs.
	🥁 ♥ 10:01pm melinda: Great show, thanks!
