Listener comments!
	4:29pm Flash Strap: once again, playlist image from the amazing 50watts: 50watts.com...
	🥁 6:28pm chresti: Hi Flash! Just going to sit quietly with my coffee...
	6:36pm Flash Strap: Hi Chresti! make yourself comfortable while I putter around
	6:59pm Flash Strap: ok here we goooooo
	7:00pm hyde: one froggy evening
	7:00pm listener james from westwood: Evening, all!
	7:02pm quinn: I already love this
	🥁 7:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh...yes.
	7:03pm Flash Strap: Hello Hyde! James! Quinn! welcome, welcome and a fond hello!
	7:03pm Flash Strap: Hi RevRab!
	7:07pm Flash Strap: I had this show mostly cobbled together last night but it was a struggle for whatever reason and then watched Mr. Arkadin (which I'd never seen) to unwind and was really laughing at the penitente scene because of this (also the scene is very funny, Bob Arden is awful)
	7:09pm Flash Strap: i will never tire of playing songs from Le Jazz Primitif for you all
	7:10pm fleep: This looks like a good place to unlurk. Greetings Evan and explorers
	7:11pm Flash Strap: hello father fleep! extremely nice to see you swim on in
	7:11pm hyde: i've actually never seen Mr Arkadin.
	🥁 7:12pm chresti: Me neither
	🥁 7:13pm chresti: That 50 watts site is great.
	7:13pm Flash Strap: i watched the ballyhooed "comprehensive" version that criterion did. only version i've seen. it certainly had some great elements, though it was a bit of a letdown i have to admit... robert arden is nauseatingly bad in it. Welles of course is good, and so are the shots
	7:14pm Flash Strap: @chresti: every image a treasure there
	7:16pm hyde: i looooove 50 watts
	7:16pm Flash Strap: re: Arkadin - there is a very funny scene where Arden is a giant fucking dunce while watching a Penitente procession in Spain
	7:16pm Gary: Howdy
	7:17pm passiflora: yess
	7:18pm Gary: I can see -- er, hear -- I've come to the right place!
	7:20pm Flash Strap: Hi Gary! wonderful to see you hear me!
	7:21pm Flash Strap: Passiflora! hello and yesss
	7:21pm Flash Strap: this is such a wild comp, love it (I Wouldn't Sell You To Anyone)
	7:22pm Gary: I hear -- er, see -- what you did there!
	7:24pm Flash Strap: insanely huge sound from this ensemble
	7:26pm TDK60: Hello explorers.
	7:28pm Flash Strap: Hi TDK!
	7:28pm TDK60: Somebody said there's a ceremony?
	7:29pm fleep: What a pretty alphabet, makes ours look dorky
	7:29pm Flash Strap: learned of this wonderful example of Georgian polyphony only recently, here: music-republic-world-traditional.blogspot.com...
	7:31pm Flash Strap: @fleep: really is, does
	🥁 7:31pm chresti: I'm having a coffee ceremony
	7:33pm TDK60: chresti: I'm having a yerba mate ritual.
	7:35pm Little Danny: Hey Evan, hey all!
	7:35pm Doug Schulkind: Good thing your on the stream Flash. Not sure the FCC would permit you saying მივალ გურიაში on a family broadcast.
	7:36pm Flash Strap: Hey LD! Hey Commissioner Doug!
	7:37pm Flash Strap: this track featured in Herzog's Nosferatu btw. or this song, might be a different recording
	7:37pm Flash Strap: (plague scene)
	7:41pm passiflora: as a child, the bocklin painting 'plague` haunted me, from the guinness book's section on the black death. I didn't know it was a painting, but admired his (other) works later in life.
	🥁 7:41pm chresti: Haha Doug
	🥁 7:42pm chresti: A-list DJs in the house!
	7:43pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Flash. That churchy music was real nice on this day that winter has returned to Southern California.
	7:44pm Franco Twinkie: this.
	7:45pm Gary: Music Republic! Great blog
	7:46pm Franco Twinkie: I'm typing in the dark. I should buy a light bulb.
	7:49pm hyde: oh, i'm a big fan of this record
	7:50pm Flash Strap: @Gary: really great! I need to dig deeper into it tbh
	7:50pm Flash Strap: @passiflora: that's a spooky painting for sure
	7:51pm Flash Strap: @hyde: i just got into it actually! really good!
	7:51pm Flash Strap: Hi Franco! six more weeks of winter, 12 more days of darkness
	7:53pm Flash Strap: this track is just in constant rotation in my life at the moment, i feel it lends me clarity and purpose
	7:53pm quinn: Yes please
	7:54pm Flash Strap: haha I thought this one might be up your alley Quinn!
	7:55pm passiflora: love this
	7:57pm Doug Schulkind: This is making me monstrously happy this is. Mike Osborne is one of the most beloved of my beloveds.
	7:59pm Flash Strap: @Doug: I've been listening to a lot of him and John Surman recently, but I'm mostly unfamiliar with a lot of that crowd
	8:00pm Little Danny: This is fantastic! ("Dat Is Horrors")
	8:00pm Flash Strap: @LD: Lancelot Layne is a king man
	8:00pm Little Danny: OH HAI DOUG
	8:01pm Flash Strap: calypso heads can guess what's comin next
	8:02pm Doug Schulkind: Bali hai, Little Danny!
	8:03pm Little Danny: 99% of Caribbean music is new to me, alas, tho I've been dipping my toe into it in the last two or three years...
	8:03pm Flash Strap: one of the alltime top Sparrow songs if you ask me & from an incredible LP
	8:03pm Little Danny: Dammit Doug that is exactly the perfect return greeting
	8:03pm Flash Strap: recommend the new sort of recent Lancelot Layne comp, Blow'Way – until that came out, his stuff very hard to get ahold of
	8:04pm TDK60: .. /thee/ calypsonian.
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Doug is a master, just a total sniper on the boards
	🥁 8:05pm chresti: Wow, the lyrics.
	8:06pm Little Danny: He really is. I maintain a strict no puns policy in my house next door but Doug is too good to refuse
	8:06pm Flash Strap: the way he says "more laws & wars" is a masterclass by itself
	8:06pm Jeff Moore: Um, uh oh – I had to do some maintenance on our primary stream server, and I carefully checked to make sure nobody was in the process of doing a live show when I started and swapped stream server DNS, but I forgot to check again when I swapped back. So... I think our DJ is feeding the backup stream server which was briefly the primary while I was doing the work, and people who've been listening from the beginning will still be hearing him, but people who connect fresh now won't hear the right thing. Hmm... I think I need to change back and leave the backup in front until after 10PM, that's probably the least disruptive thing.
	8:06pm Flash Strap: no one has delivery like sparrow he's better than sinatra
	8:07pm Flash Strap: hi Jeff! do the right thing i trust you
	8:07pm hyde: glad i got on at the beginning!
	8:08pm Flash Strap: don't think i'll ever hear this Joe Harriott track enough times in my life but i'm trying
	🥁 8:09pm chresti: I got that, at first, JM. I got Flash by clicking the link in the playlist
	8:09pm Little Danny: Oh shit, I just remembered I have a Harriott-Mayer-related track to play for you, Flash
	8:10pm Jeff Moore: Yeah, that's the ticket... I swapped things back and I'll just tiptoe out of here and dick with the servers again later tonight.
	8:10pm Doug Schulkind: Harriott perfection.
	🥁 8:10pm chresti: Actually, listening via iphone had no issues, it was different on the desktop.
	8:11pm Flash Strap: @LD: consider me curious, piqued
	8:11pm passiflora: I'm afraid to go get a banh mi! ^
	8:13pm hyde: mmmmm, banh mi
	8:13pm TDK60: there's that 1965 again!
	8:14pm melinda: hi freinds
	8:14pm Flash Strap: hi Melinda!
	8:15pm melinda: I left that misspelled on purpose, to mix things up
	8:15pm hyde: @melinda haha
	8:17pm Flash Strap: bored of the constrictions of conventional language she began experimenting with typos, on her way to harder rush of compulsive glossolalia
	8:22pm melinda: haha!
	8:23pm hyde: huh, Dickie Landry took cool photos of Phillip Glass and Moondog etc in the 70's
	8:24pm TDK60: this does feel a like a ceremony...
	8:24pm Flash Strap: @hyde: that sounds very cool
	8:24pm Flash Strap: @TDK: Sax Magick
	8:25pm hyde: he has photos of Bruce Nauman and Phillip Glass playing badminton
	8:26pm Little Danny: My dad when I was growing up (like, 8 or 9 y.o.) would refer to my "friends" very deliberately as "fiends." Probably apt. Still, though, weird household
	8:28pm Flash Strap: just looked those up Hyde, pretty cool. love playing badminton esp. with members of the avant garde
	8:28pm Flash Strap: @LD: depends on the delivery i guess
	8:28pm quinn: Ugh why are saxophones the best instrument
	8:29pm melinda: Reminds me of the Herzog film My Best Fiend
	8:29pm passifloral: XD
	8:34pm Flash Strap: this whole Surman solo LP is pretty much calypso jazz
	8:36pm Flash Strap: Mike Osborne on this as well
	8:40pm doctorjazz: Hi, Flash and Explorers, been enjoying the sounds!
	8:46pm 23 Wolves: Good show like pretty much always, been working my way through some archives and you play top tunes. I like hearing the records.
	🥁 8:47pm chresti: I liked that ghost dance in the background.
	8:50pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc! Hi 23 wolves, thanks for the kind words
	8:51pm Flash Strap: me too chresti, tbh it's probably too good for bed music
	8:52pm northguineahills: I was about to say this reminds me of Georgian sacred chorale music....
	8:53pm Flash Strap: hi NGH, right on the money
	8:54pm Flash Strap: what a voice
	8:56pm Flash Strap: buncha goats on this one
	9:00pm northguineahills: Ok, Corsican sacred music is new to me! Digdug!
	9:02pm Flash Strap: i suspect the only things i know about Corsica come from the Asterix comic where he visits Corsica
	9:04pm TDK60: ..I think Corsica is Italian-language-culture but ruled by France. I think there was a separatist movement once.
	9:05pm Flash Strap: that much i learned from Asterix i do have to say
	9:05pm passiflora: ^
	9:07pm Flash Strap: huh, I guess there's a lot of the Greek language in Corsican liturgical traditions as well
	9:07pm Dean: Enjoyed the company many years of ago of exchange students from Corsica. Winter & Winter has at least one Sardinian religious music. Similar.
	9:08pm Dean: "...Sardinian religious music release," I mean^
	9:11pm Flash Strap: Hi Dean, i'll check that out
	9:11pm Dean: https://www.winterandwinter.com/index.php?id=354
	9:12pm passiflora: so nice
	9:12pm northguineahills: Corsican, like Sardinian, is usually considered a separate language from standard Italian (Tuscan). Don't get me started on the various dialects of Sardinian and Corsican, it's maddening for such small geographies....
	9:15pm Flash Strap: the fable here involves a pangolin and an orycterope (aardvark) stumbling across an abandoned woman who's just given birth only moments before, and deciding to help her and care for her. nice story i have to say
	9:16pm northguineahills: You are correct, Evan, much Greek influence in almost Mediterranean island due to first, Greek colonies, and later, Byzantine Empire possessions. There is still a few small Greek speaking communities in south Italy (on the south mainland).
	9:18pm Flash Strap: very very interesting, NGH. i'd love to see Corsica i think
	9:21pm Dean: I'd love to see Corsica, and I declined a chance to do so when I visited France after meeting one of the students I mentioned above. But mostly I plan to live my last few years on Cyprus. Never been there. Doesn't matter. It's where I'll be composted.
	9:23pm passiflora: ooh
	🥁 9:23pm chresti: Why Cyprus?
	9:24pm Dean: It's stuck in the middle.
	9:25pm Flash Strap: looking at the map, I think you picked a pretty good spot Dean
	9:26pm Little Danny: Huh. I'm hearing a relationship to the music of Tuva here. Minus the biphonic singing of course.
	9:26pm coelacanth∅: hey Evan, Explorers
	9:26pm Flash Strap: i know what you mean LD
	9:27pm Flash Strap: Hi Coelacanth!
	9:27pm northguineahills: also, the British military presence also makes many Cypriots know English (the British military zones in Cyprus makes the US's look small in Japan).
	9:28pm Flash Strap: Tuva and Uyghur country aren't so far apart that there wouldn't be some fair amount of cultural crossover
	9:30pm Little Danny: Right! I was just looking at a map outta curiosity
	9:31pm Flash Strap: me too, me too. until then, I couldn't have placed Tuva on a map with any remote accuracy at all
	9:31pm Dean: I'm gonna guess: it's up there near Mongolia?
	9:31pm Little Danny: @Evan: You read any Mircea Eliade (Sacred and Profane, Shamanism, etc.)? This show is really making me flash on his writings
	9:32pm passiflora: I miss geosense www.youtube.com...
	9:32pm northguineahills: Mongol and Turkic people originally were nomadic and spread from the Pacific to Europe on the Eurasian steppe, so, yes, many similarities b/tn Uyghurs and Tuvans.....
	9:33pm northguineahills: (Uyghurs are Turkic, Tuvan, Mongol).
	9:33pm Dean: I had a Mongolian neighbor who waxed nostalgic about Mongolian throat singing. Heh, was just thinking about Eliade yesterday. Yes, Sacred and Profane, Patterns in Comparative Religion, Myth of the Eternal Return...
	9:33pm Flash Strap: @LD: no, sounds like i really need to!
	9:36pm passiflora: can feel the sunshine on this cook islands track
	9:37pm Doug Schulkind: Wax Nostalgic would be a killer radio show name.
	9:37pm Dean: Better, Whacks Nostalgic
	9:38pm Little Danny: stop it Dean
	9:40pm Doug Schulkind: Crack is whack?
	9:41pm melinda: I just recently started saying whack. I like it.
	9:42pm Dean: As an adjective, noun, or verb?
	9:42pm Flash Strap: this harpsichord, my god
	🥁 9:43pm chresti: Wax N' Cracks
	🥁 9:44pm chresti: ..or, Wax N' Crax
	9:48pm Dean: You want harpsichord? I recently picked up Kenneth Gilbert's Harmonia Mundi double LP of Handel's grand suites, pristine condition, ten bucks. I could bathe in the sound. Then there's the Michel Kiener recital of the Goldberg Variations on a double Cercle Kallistos (Yves Bernard Andre) LP, the sound of which is scary real.
	9:48pm Flash Strap: sounds great, I wanna get scared
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: i once had a friend who referred to mcdonald's as "whackdonald's" so when i refer to the scumbag-in-chief as ronald mcdonald trump inside i'm thinking "ronald whackdonald trump"
	9:50pm Dean: For me, same effect from Kavi Alexander's Water Lily Acoustics LP featuring Hamza el Din. I had to look up when he hit that drum...
	9:51pm doctorjazz: Say it ain't so!
	9:51pm Little Danny: thanks for le voyage fantastique, Flash!
	🥁 9:52pm chresti: whack-a-dummy
	9:52pm Doug Schulkind: Hello all you lovely people, I urge and encourage you to tune in to the Drummer Stream on Saturday evening as we will be premiering a brand-new radio show! Gina Bacon hosts Someday Matinee, live from Delgado Guitars in Nashville, Tennessee! Gina will have wonderful artists, bands and other characters on the show for live performance and conversation. The show will air every Saturday, 5-7pm (eastern).
	🥁 9:53pm chresti: Thanks Flash, superior supreme!
	9:53pm Little Danny: Please. Everyone. Let's keep the party going! wfmu.org... Doors open to all.
	9:54pm passiflora: one for the ages
	9:54pm passiflora: <3
	9:55pm Dean: LD, does the party feature twelve kegs? Buddy of mine wanted to name his band 12 Kegs, so the fliers would read, "Party with 12 Kegs!"
	9:57pm northguineahills: Happy thanks, Flash!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: i'd rather have 3 pints of good brew than 12 kegs of what's usually in party kegs
	9:57pm Dean: Of course, the other approach is to name the band Live Nude Girls.
	9:59pm Dean: I'd take a keg or twelve of Pliny the Younger.
	9:59pm Flash Strap: @Doug: ah shit! I really should have mentioned that on-air
	9:59pm Flash Strap: thanks, all! good night
	🥁 9:59pm chresti: I knew someone who made a movie with that title (or similar)@Dean
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: only once did i go to a party with kegs worth tapping. one was mother's milk and the other, another fine keegan brew.
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan!

Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from May 23, 2019

View Flash Strap's profile

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.

	7:35pm Little Danny: Hey Evan, hey all!
	7:35pm Doug Schulkind: Good thing your on the stream Flash. Not sure the FCC would permit you saying მივალ გურიაში on a family broadcast.
	7:36pm Flash Strap: Hey LD! Hey Commissioner Doug!
	7:37pm Flash Strap: this track featured in Herzog's Nosferatu btw. or this song, might be a different recording
	7:37pm Flash Strap: (plague scene)
	7:41pm passiflora: as a child, the bocklin painting 'plague` haunted me, from the guinness book's section on the black death. I didn't know it was a painting, but admired his (other) works later in life.
	🥁 7:41pm chresti: Haha Doug
	🥁 7:42pm chresti: A-list DJs in the house!
	7:43pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Flash. That churchy music was real nice on this day that winter has returned to Southern California.
	7:44pm Franco Twinkie: this.
	7:45pm Gary: Music Republic! Great blog
	7:46pm Franco Twinkie: I'm typing in the dark. I should buy a light bulb.
	7:49pm hyde: oh, i'm a big fan of this record
	7:50pm Flash Strap: @Gary: really great! I need to dig deeper into it tbh
	7:50pm Flash Strap: @passiflora: that's a spooky painting for sure
	7:51pm Flash Strap: @hyde: i just got into it actually! really good!
	7:51pm Flash Strap: Hi Franco! six more weeks of winter, 12 more days of darkness
	7:53pm Flash Strap: this track is just in constant rotation in my life at the moment, i feel it lends me clarity and purpose
	7:53pm quinn: Yes please
	7:54pm Flash Strap: haha I thought this one might be up your alley Quinn!
	7:55pm passiflora: love this
	7:57pm Doug Schulkind: This is making me monstrously happy this is. Mike Osborne is one of the most beloved of my beloveds.
	7:59pm Flash Strap: @Doug: I've been listening to a lot of him and John Surman recently, but I'm mostly unfamiliar with a lot of that crowd
	8:00pm Little Danny: This is fantastic! ("Dat Is Horrors")
	8:00pm Flash Strap: @LD: Lancelot Layne is a king man
	8:00pm Little Danny: OH HAI DOUG
	8:01pm Flash Strap: calypso heads can guess what's comin next
	8:02pm Doug Schulkind: Bali hai, Little Danny!
	8:03pm Little Danny: 99% of Caribbean music is new to me, alas, tho I've been dipping my toe into it in the last two or three years...
	8:03pm Flash Strap: one of the alltime top Sparrow songs if you ask me & from an incredible LP
	8:03pm Little Danny: Dammit Doug that is exactly the perfect return greeting
	8:03pm Flash Strap: recommend the new sort of recent Lancelot Layne comp, Blow'Way – until that came out, his stuff very hard to get ahold of
	8:04pm TDK60: .. /thee/ calypsonian.
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Doug is a master, just a total sniper on the boards
	🥁 8:05pm chresti: Wow, the lyrics.
	8:06pm Little Danny: He really is. I maintain a strict no puns policy in my house next door but Doug is too good to refuse
	8:06pm Flash Strap: the way he says "more laws & wars" is a masterclass by itself
	8:06pm Jeff Moore: Um, uh oh – I had to do some maintenance on our primary stream server, and I carefully checked to make sure nobody was in the process of doing a live show when I started and swapped stream server DNS, but I forgot to check again when I swapped back. So... I think our DJ is feeding the backup stream server which was briefly the primary while I was doing the work, and people who've been listening from the beginning will still be hearing him, but people who connect fresh now won't hear the right thing. Hmm... I think I need to change back and leave the backup in front until after 10PM, that's probably the least disruptive thing.
	8:06pm Flash Strap: no one has delivery like sparrow he's better than sinatra
	8:07pm Flash Strap: hi Jeff! do the right thing i trust you
	8:07pm hyde: glad i got on at the beginning!
	8:08pm Flash Strap: don't think i'll ever hear this Joe Harriott track enough times in my life but i'm trying
	🥁 8:09pm chresti: I got that, at first, JM. I got Flash by clicking the link in the playlist
	8:09pm Little Danny: Oh shit, I just remembered I have a Harriott-Mayer-related track to play for you, Flash
	8:10pm Jeff Moore: Yeah, that's the ticket... I swapped things back and I'll just tiptoe out of here and dick with the servers again later tonight.
	8:10pm Doug Schulkind: Harriott perfection.
	🥁 8:10pm chresti: Actually, listening via iphone had no issues, it was different on the desktop.
	8:11pm Flash Strap: @LD: consider me curious, piqued
	8:11pm passiflora: I'm afraid to go get a banh mi! ^
	8:13pm hyde: mmmmm, banh mi
	8:13pm TDK60: there's that 1965 again!
	8:14pm melinda: hi freinds
	8:14pm Flash Strap: hi Melinda!
	8:15pm melinda: I left that misspelled on purpose, to mix things up
	8:15pm hyde: @melinda haha
	8:17pm Flash Strap: bored of the constrictions of conventional language she began experimenting with typos, on her way to harder rush of compulsive glossolalia
	8:22pm melinda: haha!
	8:23pm hyde: huh, Dickie Landry took cool photos of Phillip Glass and Moondog etc in the 70's
	8:24pm TDK60: this does feel a like a ceremony...
	8:24pm Flash Strap: @hyde: that sounds very cool
	8:24pm Flash Strap: @TDK: Sax Magick
	8:25pm hyde: he has photos of Bruce Nauman and Phillip Glass playing badminton
	8:26pm Little Danny: My dad when I was growing up (like, 8 or 9 y.o.) would refer to my "friends" very deliberately as "fiends." Probably apt. Still, though, weird household
	8:28pm Flash Strap: just looked those up Hyde, pretty cool. love playing badminton esp. with members of the avant garde
	8:28pm Flash Strap: @LD: depends on the delivery i guess
	8:28pm quinn: Ugh why are saxophones the best instrument
	8:29pm melinda: Reminds me of the Herzog film My Best Fiend
	8:29pm passifloral: XD
	8:34pm Flash Strap: this whole Surman solo LP is pretty much calypso jazz
	8:36pm Flash Strap: Mike Osborne on this as well
	8:40pm doctorjazz: Hi, Flash and Explorers, been enjoying the sounds!
	8:46pm 23 Wolves: Good show like pretty much always, been working my way through some archives and you play top tunes. I like hearing the records.
	🥁 8:47pm chresti: I liked that ghost dance in the background.
	8:50pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc! Hi 23 wolves, thanks for the kind words
	8:51pm Flash Strap: me too chresti, tbh it's probably too good for bed music
	8:52pm northguineahills: I was about to say this reminds me of Georgian sacred chorale music....
	8:53pm Flash Strap: hi NGH, right on the money
	8:54pm Flash Strap: what a voice
	8:56pm Flash Strap: buncha goats on this one
	9:00pm northguineahills: Ok, Corsican sacred music is new to me! Digdug!
	9:02pm Flash Strap: i suspect the only things i know about Corsica come from the Asterix comic where he visits Corsica
	9:04pm TDK60: ..I think Corsica is Italian-language-culture but ruled by France. I think there was a separatist movement once.
	9:05pm Flash Strap: that much i learned from Asterix i do have to say
	9:05pm passiflora: ^
	9:07pm Flash Strap: huh, I guess there's a lot of the Greek language in Corsican liturgical traditions as well
	9:07pm Dean: Enjoyed the company many years of ago of exchange students from Corsica. Winter & Winter has at least one Sardinian religious music. Similar.
	9:08pm Dean: "...Sardinian religious music release," I mean^
	9:11pm Flash Strap: Hi Dean, i'll check that out
	9:11pm Dean: https://www.winterandwinter.com/index.php?id=354
	9:12pm passiflora: so nice
	9:12pm northguineahills: Corsican, like Sardinian, is usually considered a separate language from standard Italian (Tuscan). Don't get me started on the various dialects of Sardinian and Corsican, it's maddening for such small geographies....
	9:15pm Flash Strap: the fable here involves a pangolin and an orycterope (aardvark) stumbling across an abandoned woman who's just given birth only moments before, and deciding to help her and care for her. nice story i have to say
	9:16pm northguineahills: You are correct, Evan, much Greek influence in almost Mediterranean island due to first, Greek colonies, and later, Byzantine Empire possessions. There is still a few small Greek speaking communities in south Italy (on the south mainland).
	9:18pm Flash Strap: very very interesting, NGH. i'd love to see Corsica i think
	9:21pm Dean: I'd love to see Corsica, and I declined a chance to do so when I visited France after meeting one of the students I mentioned above. But mostly I plan to live my last few years on Cyprus. Never been there. Doesn't matter. It's where I'll be composted.
	9:23pm passiflora: ooh
	🥁 9:23pm chresti: Why Cyprus?
	9:24pm Dean: It's stuck in the middle.
	9:25pm Flash Strap: looking at the map, I think you picked a pretty good spot Dean
	9:26pm Little Danny: Huh. I'm hearing a relationship to the music of Tuva here. Minus the biphonic singing of course.
	9:26pm coelacanth∅: hey Evan, Explorers
	9:26pm Flash Strap: i know what you mean LD
	9:27pm Flash Strap: Hi Coelacanth!
	9:27pm northguineahills: also, the British military presence also makes many Cypriots know English (the British military zones in Cyprus makes the US's look small in Japan).
	9:28pm Flash Strap: Tuva and Uyghur country aren't so far apart that there wouldn't be some fair amount of cultural crossover
	9:30pm Little Danny: Right! I was just looking at a map outta curiosity
	9:31pm Flash Strap: me too, me too. until then, I couldn't have placed Tuva on a map with any remote accuracy at all
	9:31pm Dean: I'm gonna guess: it's up there near Mongolia?
	9:31pm Little Danny: @Evan: You read any Mircea Eliade (Sacred and Profane, Shamanism, etc.)? This show is really making me flash on his writings
	9:32pm passiflora: I miss geosense www.youtube.com...
	9:32pm northguineahills: Mongol and Turkic people originally were nomadic and spread from the Pacific to Europe on the Eurasian steppe, so, yes, many similarities b/tn Uyghurs and Tuvans.....
	9:33pm northguineahills: (Uyghurs are Turkic, Tuvan, Mongol).
	9:33pm Dean: I had a Mongolian neighbor who waxed nostalgic about Mongolian throat singing. Heh, was just thinking about Eliade yesterday. Yes, Sacred and Profane, Patterns in Comparative Religion, Myth of the Eternal Return...
	9:33pm Flash Strap: @LD: no, sounds like i really need to!
	9:36pm passiflora: can feel the sunshine on this cook islands track
	9:37pm Doug Schulkind: Wax Nostalgic would be a killer radio show name.
	9:37pm Dean: Better, Whacks Nostalgic
	9:38pm Little Danny: stop it Dean
	9:40pm Doug Schulkind: Crack is whack?
	9:41pm melinda: I just recently started saying whack. I like it.
	9:42pm Dean: As an adjective, noun, or verb?
	9:42pm Flash Strap: this harpsichord, my god
	🥁 9:43pm chresti: Wax N' Cracks
	🥁 9:44pm chresti: ..or, Wax N' Crax
	9:48pm Dean: You want harpsichord? I recently picked up Kenneth Gilbert's Harmonia Mundi double LP of Handel's grand suites, pristine condition, ten bucks. I could bathe in the sound. Then there's the Michel Kiener recital of the Goldberg Variations on a double Cercle Kallistos (Yves Bernard Andre) LP, the sound of which is scary real.
	9:48pm Flash Strap: sounds great, I wanna get scared
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: i once had a friend who referred to mcdonald's as "whackdonald's" so when i refer to the scumbag-in-chief as ronald mcdonald trump inside i'm thinking "ronald whackdonald trump"
	9:50pm Dean: For me, same effect from Kavi Alexander's Water Lily Acoustics LP featuring Hamza el Din. I had to look up when he hit that drum...
	9:51pm doctorjazz: Say it ain't so!
	9:51pm Little Danny: thanks for le voyage fantastique, Flash!
	🥁 9:52pm chresti: whack-a-dummy
	9:52pm Doug Schulkind: Hello all you lovely people, I urge and encourage you to tune in to the Drummer Stream on Saturday evening as we will be premiering a brand-new radio show! Gina Bacon hosts Someday Matinee, live from Delgado Guitars in Nashville, Tennessee! Gina will have wonderful artists, bands and other characters on the show for live performance and conversation. The show will air every Saturday, 5-7pm (eastern).
	🥁 9:53pm chresti: Thanks Flash, superior supreme!
	9:53pm Little Danny: Please. Everyone. Let's keep the party going! wfmu.org... Doors open to all.
	9:54pm passiflora: one for the ages
	9:54pm passiflora: <3
	9:55pm Dean: LD, does the party feature twelve kegs? Buddy of mine wanted to name his band 12 Kegs, so the fliers would read, "Party with 12 Kegs!"
	9:57pm northguineahills: Happy thanks, Flash!
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: i'd rather have 3 pints of good brew than 12 kegs of what's usually in party kegs
	9:57pm Dean: Of course, the other approach is to name the band Live Nude Girls.
	9:59pm Dean: I'd take a keg or twelve of Pliny the Younger.
	9:59pm Flash Strap: @Doug: ah shit! I really should have mentioned that on-air
	9:59pm Flash Strap: thanks, all! good night
	🥁 9:59pm chresti: I knew someone who made a movie with that title (or similar)@Dean
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: only once did i go to a party with kegs worth tapping. one was mother's milk and the other, another fine keegan brew.
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan!
