	7:36pm Flash Strap: looking back, i think i only planned to play this one, but never got to it
	7:36pm Flash Strap: hi Franco!
	🥁 7:38pm chresti: Thanks TDK60- plan on it! We stay with my son in SF, and take tamales across the bay on New Years day. Flash- are those your notes?
	7:38pm TDK60: franco- yeah it disappears round Orthodox Xmas- Jan.6 or 7. I should make some of my own. This year been trying dairy and vegan nogs.
	7:38pm Franco Twinkie: Flash drive! Did you have a hearty meal before you started this forced march?
	7:38pm Flash Strap: yeah, that's the first and last of the year
	7:39pm Flash Strap: you betcha Franco
	🥁 7:40pm chresti: I'll have to show you my notes sometime...
	7:40pm Flash Strap: @7:38 was for you Chresti
	7:40pm Flash Strap: ah indeed!
	🥁 7:40pm chresti: I figured @Flash
	7:41pm hyde: i warmed up for this show with a couple hours of Sun Ra
	7:41pm Flash Strap: haha sometimes these chats get so nonlinear
	7:42pm TDK60: chresti - tamales sounds great; from the Mission? East Bay? I've never taken tamales anywhere.
	🥁 7:42pm chresti: First, I would have to find them, they're scattered everywhere@7:40
	7:42pm quinn: Was all settled in and listening, and then the Christmas tree spontaneously crashed to the floor. Sounds of vaccuuming and ornament salvaging now.
	🥁 7:43pm chresti: TDK60- We made them last Sunday, 114 of 'em
	7:44pm passiflora: It'll sound extra peaceful when the vacuum turns off
	7:44pm TDK60: chresti: what am I doing on this Coast?
	7:45pm Flash Strap: Hi Quinn! sorry about the old tannenbaum
	7:45pm Franco Twinkie: TDK, My sister brought some soy nog over on Christmas. The taste was find, but it lacked the creaminess I require to drain a carton. Maybe that's a good thing.
	🥁 7:46pm chresti: We have some here, with Franco's family, for x-mas, then take some up north, the green chile and cheese, to my family. So. I'm in party mode until we get back
	7:48pm TDK60: ...the vegan brands I've tried here have been good, I guess the trick is in the spices.
	🥁 7:48pm chresti: Well, having eggnog, for starters...Come on over to this side, TDK60!
	7:49pm quinn: They oughta use Oatly, that’s some creamy business
	7:49pm passiflora: <3 Oatly
	🥁 7:51pm chresti: quinn-I like oat-mochas
	7:52pm passiflora: I hadn't tried Bailey's before. The almonde one was tasty over ice over the holiday
	7:52pm TDK60: ..saw Blakey at a free concert once (along with B.B. King and John Sebastian) he was great but the soundperson had his cymbals too loud in the P.A.
	7:53pm passiflora: passiflora = passionflower :D
	🥁 7:53pm chresti: I went through a Baily's-white russian thing, when I was in my 20s
	7:53pm passiflora: passion vines
	7:55pm spookcity: this is fire, & i'd expect nothing less.
	7:55pm Franco Twinkie: Quinn, I find that your oat derivatives tend to be slimy as opposed to creamy. I would eat more oatmeal, but I don't like the slime factor.
	🥁 7:55pm chresti: Much too sweet now-hurts all the cavities in my teeth @Baily's
	🥁 7:57pm chresti: oatmilk works with coffee
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Hi Spook! boy is it nice to see you round these parts pal
	7:57pm Flash Strap: @TDK: i'd die to just see Blakey at all, how cool
	7:58pm TDK60: couldn't one say '73 was the year rock steady and reggae went out, then reggae took off?...
	7:58pm Flash Strap: @Passiflora: ! 2 songs in your name already !
	🥁 7:58pm chresti: Everything sounds so extra good with my chinese bluetooth headphones!
	7:59pm spookcity: nice to see ya back in action amigo. we'll have to catch up sometime soon & you can regale me with tales of adventuring.
	7:59pm passiflora: They figured something out with oatly though—it's swedish
	7:59pm passiflora: thank you! @Flash Strap thanks for putting this all together
	8:00pm Franco Twinkie: Oh man, this is great!
	8:00pm Flash Strap: @spook: you betcha, that's a for-shore
	8:00pm Flash Strap: @passiflora: my true pleasure
	8:00pm 23 Wolves: Show's kickin' some ass as usual! Happy 2019, comin' down the pike!
	8:01pm Flash Strap: @franco: i know! such a killer track from Lou (& the Tammys)
	8:01pm Flash Strap: "no longer stinking"
	8:01pm spookcity: lou christie always does it for me.
	8:02pm Flash Strap: 23 Wolves in the room! got me feeling like 23 Beuys
	8:02pm TDK60: DJ FS @ 7:57: was fun, part of a trip to Memphis in '72 for a blues fest; the free concert was an unexpected side event held in their civic arena, with overzealous hire-cops trying to repress the relaxedly integrated audience! yep.
	🥁 8:03pm chresti: It kind of segued into Dancehall and Reggae, often with the same musicans, TDK
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Spike Jones is as good as anyone or better i say
	🥁 8:04pm chresti: Be back-going to pick up the car...
	8:07pm passiflora: hear some similarity with Can't Take my Eyes off You in Cocktails for Two
	8:12pm Flash Strap: @TDK: sounds intense and really interesting
	8:13pm passiflora: settling in ...this is so nice right now
	8:14pm Flash Strap: i was just thinking the same thing passiflora - this album always sweeps me away
	8:16pm Flash Strap: since playing this Kip Anderson on the show, i've really gotten obsessed with it, what a little epic it turns out to be
	8:17pm passiflora: cool percussion
	8:17pm Doug Schulkind: I love the voodoo that you do, Admiral Flash!
	8:18pm Flash Strap: organ gets surprisingly madcap as well
	8:18pm passiflora: wilin' out
	8:18pm quinn: Listening with my sibs as we play board games
	8:19pm Flash Strap: Salutes to ya Commodore Doug!
	8:19pm Flash Strap: I hope commodore is a good rank, i have no idea
	8:20pm passiflora: that's so nice
	8:20pm Flash Strap: @Quinn: I love it. Salutes to the sibs as well
	8:21pm Flash Strap: Jack Nitzche production on this great Epps
	8:23pm Flash Strap: Plas Johnson tearin' it up on Jungle Jazz. what a legendary LP
	8:23pm passiflora: sleuthy bass
	8:24pm Flash Strap: god DAMN
	8:25pm passiflora: that was good as hell
	8:26pm passiflora: this tho
	8:26pm Flash Strap: that whole record is outstanding
	8:27pm Flash Strap: this too, one of THE great exotica LPs
	8:27pm passiflora: I wish james bond was more like this
	8:27pm Doug Schulkind: There are worse things to be than a Commie door. Actually, I wear my knobs proudly.
	8:28pm Flash Strap: hell yes doug i would never slam you for that
	8:28pm passiflora: laughing
	8:29pm passiflora: ^ this song
	8:31pm just julia: oh wow oh wow, johnny fading into the tammys, i'm gonna FAINT
	8:31pm Flash Strap: that's faintin' music for sure
	8:32pm Doug Schulkind: Kick out the jambs, Flash!
	8:32pm Flash Strap: Hi JJ, great to see ya
	8:33pm just julia: both tunes are so sassy, so sultry, sweet, sinister, sarcastic... happy to be here with them.
	8:34pm passiflora: sweet section of show
	8:35pm Flash Strap: @JJ: they really are of a kind, they ought to get together
	8:37pm Flash Strap: G. Kente voices are so amazing
	8:38pm passiflora: I loved the guitar in G. Kente, like apostrophes and different punctuation
	8:39pm Flash Strap: @passi: that album is so good, and i got it here (where i think there's still a live link): electricjive.blogspot.com...
	8:40pm Flash Strap: totally agree on the guitar
	8:41pm TDK60: Q? ..is there a way to stop the main page forcing my view to scroll back up to the top? (like the "pause comment auto update" function in the comments column?)
	8:42pm passiflora: thanks!
	8:42pm Flash Strap: i don't know, TDK - the playlist page is doing that?
	8:44pm TDK60: DJ: yes.
	8:44pm passiflora: if you're using chrome: chrome://flags/#enable-scroll-anchoring set to yes
	🥁 8:45pm chresti: Yay!
	8:45pm Flash Strap: thanks for the assist Passiflora
	8:45pm passiflora: hope that works!
	🥁 8:51pm chresti: My bluetooth kicked in while at the rental counter, and stayed connected the rest of the way back, so glad.
	8:52pm passiflora: I wonder how many plot points involve bluetooth being connected with that sound
	8:55pm TDK60: ..thanks passiflora, am not using Chrome actually, may try that later. Oddly, that auto-up-scroll doesn't always occur.
	8:58pm doctorjazz: Nice, this Artie Shaw, very Ellington-esque
	9:00pm doctorjazz: Clarinet Heaven!
	9:02pm Flash Strap: Love Woody's drummer here
	🥁 9:02pm chresti: I do that sometimes, on the laptop's touch pad, when I have two fingers on it. It activates the scrolling function..
	🥁 9:02pm chresti: @TDK60
	9:05pm Flash Strap: one of THE great songs of the 1970s always important to point out that Nixon actually listened to this album and tried to have it cancelled
	9:07pm TDK60: Tricky Dick played piano; any recordings? ha!
	🥁 9:09pm chresti: What?!
	9:09pm Flash Strap: did he really play? interesting
	🥁 9:10pm chresti: Love Keith Hudson
	9:11pm TDK60: ..there's that movie about him, shows him playing keys, some schmaltzy stuff of course.
	9:11pm Flash Strap: just adore the man
	9:11pm Flash Strap: haha, uh, Keith Hudson. Nixon is not high on my adore list
	🥁 9:14pm chresti: Just to get more confused, Katy Perry's dad's name is Keith Hudson
	9:15pm Flash Strap: bizarre
	🥁 9:15pm chresti: ...Google wants me to know
	9:22pm Flash Strap: my favorite Kraftwerk, maybe
	🥁 9:25pm chresti: I haven't really dived into Kraftwerk beyond Autobahn, yet
	9:26pm TDK60: this is inviting..
	9:27pm doctorjazz: Man, I'm beat, heading home, thanks, Evan!
	9:28pm hyde: this one is great
	9:28pm Flash Strap: This is the best LP, in my opinion, tho i do prefer this early-mid period to the later. but I like the Autobahn stuff a lot too
	9:28pm Flash Strap: safe travels doctor!
	9:30pm northguineahills: I found Ralf & Florian at the charity place my mother volunteers at w/o a album cover/sleeve in a bunch of donated objects. It was the only decent piece of vinyl I found there.
	9:31pm Doug Schulkind: Yusef Love
	9:33pm Flash Strap: NGH! jealous of that slab even without the sleeve
	9:36pm melinda: Hi everyone
	9:37pm hyde: hi melinda!
	9:37pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda!
	9:38pm TDK60: ..those German hippies!
	9:38pm Flash Strap: top ten Faust track for me, this
	9:39pm melinda: Grateful for German hippies.
	9:40pm TDK60: hi Melinda: me too!
	9:46pm melinda: Evan I like your show note pages.
	9:47pm Flash Strap: god I love Randy Weston that piano sounds like God
	9:47pm Flash Strap: ah thanks Melinda
	🥁 9:47pm chresti: Love the piano
	9:48pm hyde: gotta love Randy Weston
	9:49pm Flash Strap: he's so incredible
	9:51pm melinda: Vibes are always welcome.
	9:51pm northguineahills: huh, I was listening to Faust w/ Nurse w/ Wound in my car when I jetted to the store a minute ago.
	9:53pm Flash Strap: how is that, NGH? haven't heard it
	9:53pm Flash Strap: @melinda: agreed, vibes can always come to the Room
	9:53pm northguineahills: ok, I'll be away from the comments board, was away from home for almost a week, and my house is a pig-sty. (that's an unfair comparison to porcines).
	9:55pm northguineahills: It's rather noisy (power tools, etc), w/ Steven Stapleton providing collage cutups. It's a romp (relatively recent as it was recorded in 2007)
	10:04pm Flash Strap: gotta check it out
	🥁 10:07pm chresti: Beans. The perfect thing before traveling in a car for 8 hours! I havta say This is great!
	10:08pm Flash Strap: top seeds track
	10:09pm Flash Strap: i only wish you could take me along with you in the car, chresti
	🥁 10:09pm chresti: That harp sound, at the end of the flower lady!
	10:10pm TDK60: Harry! gives me goosebumps..
	10:11pm Flash Strap: me too TDK
	10:11pm TDK60: ..instant "clicky". I have this double LP.
	10:13pm TDK60: ..I imagine it must have been a thrill to play in this ensemble..
	🥁 10:13pm chresti: Excellent.
	10:14pm Franco Twinkie: Have you ever seen Psych Out? The Seeds do a number with a bunch of hippies in what is supposed to be Golden Gate Park, but is really Elysian Park in L.A. It is Rodger Corman exploitation trash at it's finest.
	10:14pm Flash Strap: @TDK: there'd just be nothing else like it! what an incredible, singular thing it would be
	10:15pm Flash Strap: i haven't seen it! is it actually worth watching? the quality of those psychsploitation movies is so unreliable, but if its good i need to watch it asap
	10:17pm TDK60: You're presenting some real characters here -H. Partch, R. Kirk.
	10:18pm Flash Strap: i have to say, it actually feels really good to do this as a 5-hour show. great way to cap off a year, this
	10:18pm Flash Strap: @TDK: that's the Explorers Room way
	10:19pm Franco Twinkie: Good-bad. A couple of establishing shots in The Haight, but the rest is just a bunch of made up crap in Los Angeles, mostly Highland Park.
	10:20pm Flash Strap: lineup on this outstanding Latin All Stars: Buddy Collette, Carlos Mejia, Darias, Eddie Cano, Larry Bunker, Tommy Tedesco, Tony Reyes
	🥁 10:20pm chresti: The ship is rocking!
	10:21pm Flash Strap: might check it out. would love to see the Seeds in action. have basically never been to California so the finer geographical points would miss me
	10:21pm Flash Strap: need to get out that way soon
	10:22pm TDK60: You could watch those funny LA/Cali psychedelic movies like one of the silhouetted audience members in Mystery Science Theater 3000!
	10:22pm doctorjazz: Almost home listening in the car .. Had to pull over. . Safari and Azul, aside from being fun to listen to are audio marvels! The sound is just jumping out of my car speakers !Warms the heart of this old audiophile. .
	10:24pm Flash Strap: right with you doc! Azul in particular is such a sonic jewel
	10:28pm TDK60: ..folks, I'm beat, gonna enter the "seductive portal" of sleep soon; thanks for these gems of sound DJFS! Will check rest of the show in the Future, should I awake...
	10:28pm Franco Twinkie: The Seed were good at their particular warped thru the looking glass thing. If you need to see the real thing, I recommend Revolution by Robert Cohen. Filmed mostly in The Haight, with lots of visionaries, screwballs and deluded street trash.
	10:30pm Flash Strap: sweet dreams and deep sleep TDK You wear your sleep mask and I'll wear mine.
	10:31pm Flash Strap: is that a flick, Franco? sounds good
	🥁 10:33pm chresti: Good night, TDK60.
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah, It's a "documentary" kind of hard to find, but worth it. I have a shitty copy of a copy of a copy I found at the flea market.
	10:36pm Flash Strap: i'm gonna look out for that, sounds great
	10:37pm Flash Strap: back into the Tele Music stuff. man i love this volume
	10:41pm melinda: I really liked the number with strings and flute, but was in the bath and couldn't keep up w/which track it was.
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: Tomorrow night Chresti and myself will be staying at ground zero. I always find something up there that manages to elude me down here. They take their legacy very seriously.
	10:42pm Flash Strap: sounds like Midnight Rendez-Vous, was it lovely?
	10:44pm melinda: Yes, but I think it was earlier, before he dub.
	10:45pm Flash Strap: ah, more likely it was Azul, or maybe one of the Chappell tracks
	10:45pm melinda: Must have been Chappell then.
	10:46pm Flash Strap: i'd love to get a show-around from someone as in-the-know as yourself, franco. the whole west coast is a mystery zone to me
	10:47pm Flash Strap: those chappell tracks are very nice, really striking and beautiful
	10:47pm Flash Strap: such distortion on the vibes, what a cool record
	10:48pm melinda: Flash me too. Though I have been to LA a couple of times and family took me places, everyone knows different things about their own city.
	10:50pm doctorjazz: I can guide anyone around Westfield New Jersey, show all the important sites (it will take us about 30 seconds).
	11:03pm Flash Strap: If I'm ever in Westfield I'm gonna have to take you up on those glorious 30 seconds doctor
	11:04pm Flash Strap: love Cliff's voice on this cut, almost makes me want to see the flick
	11:05pm Flash Strap: scratch that it DOES make me want to see him play Aladdin
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: Well, Honestly Flash. I'm desperately trying to work up some enthusiasm for this little adventure right now. I truly despise the trip up.
	11:09pm Flash Strap: it is a long-ass drive
	11:11pm northguineahills: I somehow missed this Beaver & Krause track. Off to slumber, thanks Evan!
	11:11pm Flash Strap: sweet sleeps NGH
	🥁 11:25pm chresti: Very nice! Franco, nothing to worry about, highway 5 is our oyster!
	11:26pm Flash Strap: that;s the spirit
	11:28pm Franco Twinkie: She's dancing. I'm washing clothes.
	11:28pm Flash Strap: the greatest band, honestly
	11:29pm Flash Strap: is this a night drive, or are you just prepping for tomorrow?
	🥁 11:30pm chresti: I did laundry earlier. Now I'm FREE!
	🥁 11:32pm chresti: We aim to leave early, sometime before noon @Flash
	11:33pm Flash Strap: ah very reasonable
	11:33pm coelacanth∅: hey Evan & Explorers
	11:34pm Flash Strap: hey Coelacanth!
	11:34pm Flash Strap: how goes ?
	11:39pm Flash Strap: still shook from that Bembeya BURNER, i'm on fire
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: just winding down. today was our xmas fiasco, in the 25th's stead.
	11:44pm Flash Strap: ah well merry fiasco my friend
	11:49pm coelacanth∅: Thanks it wasn't nearly as horrible as it sometimes is, and there were actually more things happening to steer it onto the baja trail. (that's a baja trail in a '74 ford mustang II) sleeping in a weird bed tonight though. how're you? how have your holidays been treating you?
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Coel, We had Xmess meltdown number one on Tuesday night with my loony mother. Now we go up north for god only knows what with Chrestis clan.
	11:51pm doctorjazz: Gotta crash thanks, Flash Night, all!
	11:51pm Flash Strap: holidays were quite good, not without its challenges but truly quite merry and memorable
	11:52pm Flash Strap: Crash gently and sleep soundly, Doc!
	11:53pm Flash Strap: ooh best of luck Franco, i know the feeling
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: Franco i did see a post or 2 from you glad you survived it! and good luck on the next adventure! Evan i'm happy to hear that
	11:57pm Doug Schulkind: Five streamtacular hours, Flash. Wonderful stuff!
	🥁 11:57pm chresti: Thanks Flash! Fantastic! Only missed a song or two. Good night everyone!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: and i only caught 1/10 of it. good night all Thanks Flash
	🥁 12:00am chresti: Family Time, here we go! See you in the new year!
	12:00am Franco Twinkie: We shall report in next week from SF.
	12:00am Flash Strap: Thanks all, time for me to goooooo good night
	🥁 12:01am chresti: Bye!

	7:36pm Flash Strap: hi Franco!
	🥁 7:38pm chresti: Thanks TDK60- plan on it! We stay with my son in SF, and take tamales across the bay on New Years day. Flash- are those your notes?
	7:38pm TDK60: franco- yeah it disappears round Orthodox Xmas- Jan.6 or 7. I should make some of my own. This year been trying dairy and vegan nogs.

	7:40pm Flash Strap: @7:38 was for you Chresti
	7:40pm Flash Strap: ah indeed!
	🥁 7:40pm chresti: I figured @Flash
	7:41pm hyde: i warmed up for this show with a couple hours of Sun Ra
	7:41pm Flash Strap: haha sometimes these chats get so nonlinear
	7:42pm TDK60: chresti - tamales sounds great; from the Mission? East Bay? I've never taken tamales anywhere.
	🥁 7:42pm chresti: First, I would have to find them, they're scattered everywhere@7:40
	7:42pm quinn: Was all settled in and listening, and then the Christmas tree spontaneously crashed to the floor. Sounds of vaccuuming and ornament salvaging now.
	🥁 7:43pm chresti: TDK60- We made them last Sunday, 114 of 'em
	7:44pm passiflora: It'll sound extra peaceful when the vacuum turns off
	7:44pm TDK60: chresti: what am I doing on this Coast?
	7:45pm Flash Strap: Hi Quinn! sorry about the old tannenbaum
	7:45pm Franco Twinkie: TDK, My sister brought some soy nog over on Christmas. The taste was find, but it lacked the creaminess I require to drain a carton. Maybe that's a good thing.
	🥁 7:46pm chresti: We have some here, with Franco's family, for x-mas, then take some up north, the green chile and cheese, to my family. So. I'm in party mode until we get back
	7:48pm TDK60: ...the vegan brands I've tried here have been good, I guess the trick is in the spices.
	🥁 7:48pm chresti: Well, having eggnog, for starters...Come on over to this side, TDK60!
	7:49pm quinn: They oughta use Oatly, that’s some creamy business
	7:49pm passiflora: <3 Oatly
	🥁 7:51pm chresti: quinn-I like oat-mochas
	7:52pm passiflora: I hadn't tried Bailey's before. The almonde one was tasty over ice over the holiday
	7:52pm TDK60: ..saw Blakey at a free concert once (along with B.B. King and John Sebastian) he was great but the soundperson had his cymbals too loud in the P.A.
	7:53pm passiflora: passiflora = passionflower :D
	🥁 7:53pm chresti: I went through a Baily's-white russian thing, when I was in my 20s
	7:53pm passiflora: passion vines
	7:55pm spookcity: this is fire, & i'd expect nothing less.
	7:55pm Franco Twinkie: Quinn, I find that your oat derivatives tend to be slimy as opposed to creamy. I would eat more oatmeal, but I don't like the slime factor.
	🥁 7:55pm chresti: Much too sweet now-hurts all the cavities in my teeth @Baily's
	🥁 7:57pm chresti: oatmilk works with coffee
	7:57pm Flash Strap: Hi Spook! boy is it nice to see you round these parts pal
	7:57pm Flash Strap: @TDK: i'd die to just see Blakey at all, how cool

	8:01pm Flash Strap: "no longer stinking"
	8:01pm spookcity: lou christie always does it for me.
	8:02pm Flash Strap: 23 Wolves in the room! got me feeling like 23 Beuys
	8:02pm TDK60: DJ FS @ 7:57: was fun, part of a trip to Memphis in '72 for a blues fest; the free concert was an unexpected side event held in their civic arena, with overzealous hire-cops trying to repress the relaxedly integrated audience! yep.
	🥁 8:03pm chresti: It kind of segued into Dancehall and Reggae, often with the same musicans, TDK

	8:35pm Flash Strap: @JJ: they really are of a kind, they ought to get together
	8:37pm Flash Strap: G. Kente voices are so amazing
	8:38pm passiflora: I loved the guitar in G. Kente, like apostrophes and different punctuation
	8:39pm Flash Strap: @passi: that album is so good, and i got it here (where i think there's still a live link): electricjive.blogspot.com...
	8:40pm Flash Strap: totally agree on the guitar
	8:41pm TDK60: Q? ..is there a way to stop the main page forcing my view to scroll back up to the top? (like the "pause comment auto update" function in the comments column?)
	8:42pm passiflora: thanks!

	🥁 8:51pm chresti: My bluetooth kicked in while at the rental counter, and stayed connected the rest of the way back, so glad.
	8:52pm passiflora: I wonder how many plot points involve bluetooth being connected with that sound
	8:55pm TDK60: ..thanks passiflora, am not using Chrome actually, may try that later. Oddly, that auto-up-scroll doesn't always occur.
	8:58pm doctorjazz: Nice, this Artie Shaw, very Ellington-esque
	9:00pm doctorjazz: Clarinet Heaven!
	9:02pm Flash Strap: Love Woody's drummer here
	🥁 9:02pm chresti: I do that sometimes, on the laptop's touch pad, when I have two fingers on it. It activates the scrolling function..
	🥁 9:02pm chresti: @TDK60
	9:05pm Flash Strap: one of THE great songs of the 1970s always important to point out that Nixon actually listened to this album and tried to have it cancelled
	9:07pm TDK60: Tricky Dick played piano; any recordings? ha!
	🥁 9:09pm chresti: What?!
	9:09pm Flash Strap: did he really play? interesting
	🥁 9:10pm chresti: Love Keith Hudson
	9:11pm TDK60: ..there's that movie about him, shows him playing keys, some schmaltzy stuff of course.
	9:11pm Flash Strap: just adore the man
	9:11pm Flash Strap: haha, uh, Keith Hudson. Nixon is not high on my adore list
	🥁 9:14pm chresti: Just to get more confused, Katy Perry's dad's name is Keith Hudson
	9:15pm Flash Strap: bizarre
	🥁 9:15pm chresti: ...Google wants me to know
	9:22pm Flash Strap: my favorite Kraftwerk, maybe
	🥁 9:25pm chresti: I haven't really dived into Kraftwerk beyond Autobahn, yet
	9:26pm TDK60: this is inviting..
	9:27pm doctorjazz: Man, I'm beat, heading home, thanks, Evan!

	9:28pm Flash Strap: safe travels doctor!
	9:30pm northguineahills: I found Ralf & Florian at the charity place my mother volunteers at w/o a album cover/sleeve in a bunch of donated objects. It was the only decent piece of vinyl I found there.

	9:48pm hyde: gotta love Randy Weston
	9:49pm Flash Strap: he's so incredible
	9:51pm melinda: Vibes are always welcome.
	9:51pm northguineahills: huh, I was listening to Faust w/ Nurse w/ Wound in my car when I jetted to the store a minute ago.
	9:53pm Flash Strap: how is that, NGH? haven't heard it
	9:53pm Flash Strap: @melinda: agreed, vibes can always come to the Room
	9:53pm northguineahills: ok, I'll be away from the comments board, was away from home for almost a week, and my house is a pig-sty. (that's an unfair comparison to porcines).
	9:55pm northguineahills: It's rather noisy (power tools, etc), w/ Steven Stapleton providing collage cutups. It's a romp (relatively recent as it was recorded in 2007)
	10:04pm Flash Strap: gotta check it out
	🥁 10:07pm chresti: Beans. The perfect thing before traveling in a car for 8 hours! I havta say This is great!
	10:08pm Flash Strap: top seeds track
	10:09pm Flash Strap: i only wish you could take me along with you in the car, chresti
	🥁 10:09pm chresti: That harp sound, at the end of the flower lady!
	10:10pm TDK60: Harry! gives me goosebumps..
	10:11pm Flash Strap: me too TDK
	10:11pm TDK60: ..instant "clicky". I have this double LP.
	10:13pm TDK60: ..I imagine it must have been a thrill to play in this ensemble..
	🥁 10:13pm chresti: Excellent.
	10:14pm Franco Twinkie: Have you ever seen Psych Out? The Seeds do a number with a bunch of hippies in what is supposed to be Golden Gate Park, but is really Elysian Park in L.A. It is Rodger Corman exploitation trash at it's finest.
	10:14pm Flash Strap: @TDK: there'd just be nothing else like it! what an incredible, singular thing it would be
	10:15pm Flash Strap: i haven't seen it! is it actually worth watching? the quality of those psychsploitation movies is so unreliable, but if its good i need to watch it asap
	10:17pm TDK60: You're presenting some real characters here -H. Partch, R. Kirk.
	10:18pm Flash Strap: i have to say, it actually feels really good to do this as a 5-hour show. great way to cap off a year, this
	10:18pm Flash Strap: @TDK: that's the Explorers Room way
	10:19pm Franco Twinkie: Good-bad. A couple of establishing shots in The Haight, but the rest is just a bunch of made up crap in Los Angeles, mostly Highland Park.
	10:20pm Flash Strap: lineup on this outstanding Latin All Stars: Buddy Collette, Carlos Mejia, Darias, Eddie Cano, Larry Bunker, Tommy Tedesco, Tony Reyes
	🥁 10:20pm chresti: The ship is rocking!
	10:21pm Flash Strap: might check it out. would love to see the Seeds in action. have basically never been to California so the finer geographical points would miss me
	10:21pm Flash Strap: need to get out that way soon
	10:22pm TDK60: You could watch those funny LA/Cali psychedelic movies like one of the silhouetted audience members in Mystery Science Theater 3000!
	10:22pm doctorjazz: Almost home listening in the car .. Had to pull over. . Safari and Azul, aside from being fun to listen to are audio marvels! The sound is just jumping out of my car speakers !Warms the heart of this old audiophile. .
	10:24pm Flash Strap: right with you doc! Azul in particular is such a sonic jewel
	10:28pm TDK60: ..folks, I'm beat, gonna enter the "seductive portal" of sleep soon; thanks for these gems of sound DJFS! Will check rest of the show in the Future, should I awake...
	10:28pm Franco Twinkie: The Seed were good at their particular warped thru the looking glass thing. If you need to see the real thing, I recommend Revolution by Robert Cohen. Filmed mostly in The Haight, with lots of visionaries, screwballs and deluded street trash.
	10:30pm Flash Strap: sweet dreams and deep sleep TDK You wear your sleep mask and I'll wear mine.
	10:31pm Flash Strap: is that a flick, Franco? sounds good
	🥁 10:33pm chresti: Good night, TDK60.
	10:34pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah, It's a "documentary" kind of hard to find, but worth it. I have a shitty copy of a copy of a copy I found at the flea market.
	10:36pm Flash Strap: i'm gonna look out for that, sounds great
	10:37pm Flash Strap: back into the Tele Music stuff. man i love this volume
	10:41pm melinda: I really liked the number with strings and flute, but was in the bath and couldn't keep up w/which track it was.
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: Tomorrow night Chresti and myself will be staying at ground zero. I always find something up there that manages to elude me down here. They take their legacy very seriously.
	10:42pm Flash Strap: sounds like Midnight Rendez-Vous, was it lovely?
	10:44pm melinda: Yes, but I think it was earlier, before he dub.
	10:45pm Flash Strap: ah, more likely it was Azul, or maybe one of the Chappell tracks
	10:45pm melinda: Must have been Chappell then.
	10:46pm Flash Strap: i'd love to get a show-around from someone as in-the-know as yourself, franco. the whole west coast is a mystery zone to me
	10:47pm Flash Strap: those chappell tracks are very nice, really striking and beautiful
	10:47pm Flash Strap: such distortion on the vibes, what a cool record
	10:48pm melinda: Flash me too. Though I have been to LA a couple of times and family took me places, everyone knows different things about their own city.
	10:50pm doctorjazz: I can guide anyone around Westfield New Jersey, show all the important sites (it will take us about 30 seconds).
	11:03pm Flash Strap: If I'm ever in Westfield I'm gonna have to take you up on those glorious 30 seconds doctor
	11:04pm Flash Strap: love Cliff's voice on this cut, almost makes me want to see the flick
	11:05pm Flash Strap: scratch that it DOES make me want to see him play Aladdin
	11:06pm Franco Twinkie: Well, Honestly Flash. I'm desperately trying to work up some enthusiasm for this little adventure right now. I truly despise the trip up.
	11:09pm Flash Strap: it is a long-ass drive
	11:11pm northguineahills: I somehow missed this Beaver & Krause track. Off to slumber, thanks Evan!
	11:11pm Flash Strap: sweet sleeps NGH
	🥁 11:25pm chresti: Very nice! Franco, nothing to worry about, highway 5 is our oyster!
	11:26pm Flash Strap: that;s the spirit
	11:28pm Franco Twinkie: She's dancing. I'm washing clothes.
	11:28pm Flash Strap: the greatest band, honestly
	11:29pm Flash Strap: is this a night drive, or are you just prepping for tomorrow?
	🥁 11:30pm chresti: I did laundry earlier. Now I'm FREE!
	🥁 11:32pm chresti: We aim to leave early, sometime before noon @Flash
	11:33pm Flash Strap: ah very reasonable
	11:33pm coelacanth∅: hey Evan & Explorers

	11:44pm Flash Strap: ah well merry fiasco my friend
	11:49pm coelacanth∅: Thanks it wasn't nearly as horrible as it sometimes is, and there were actually more things happening to steer it onto the baja trail. (that's a baja trail in a '74 ford mustang II) sleeping in a weird bed tonight though. how're you? how have your holidays been treating you?
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Coel, We had Xmess meltdown number one on Tuesday night with my loony mother. Now we go up north for god only knows what with Chrestis clan.
