	8:24pm Flash Strap: could really use a fresh pledge here
	8:25pm TDK60: Look at Chresti & Franco there in California; it's only 5:25 PM. Some folks have it easy.
	8:25pm Flash Strap: highly unexpected cover, imo
	8:26pm David Dichelle: Lots of GREAT covers on this comp.
	8:26pm David Dichelle: TDK: Time is relative - or so they say.
	8:27pm Flash Strap: this one has such a heavy arrangement
	8:32pm Flash Strap: Explorers we're halfway through the show and 41% of the way to our goal! who will deliver us to 50%?

	8:44pm David Dichelle: Hello Andrew!
	8:45pm northguineahills: I cannot haiku, for the life of my housu, GTDS.

	8:49pm Andrew Waterloo: In way.. I am glad Spider-Jazz stole my thunder, for everybody
	8:49pm passiflora: wet roads here too
	8:49pm doctorjazz: Ok. Made it home (none of those nasty gangs of viruses got me), back to listening and Exploring!
	8:49pm Flash Strap: Hi Passiflora!
	8:49pm Flash Strap: welcome home Doc!
	8:50pm TDK60: My brother who works in theater in Broadway said they just got laid off (for maybe a month...)
	8:50pm Andrew Waterloo: There was an album by a rock band called The Amazing Spiderband that did an album of covers around that time.
	8:50pm David Dichelle: Hello Passiflora - heavy winds here today and tomorrow.
	8:51pm David Dichelle: Welcome back Dr J!
	8:51pm Andrew Waterloo: They're closing the schools for 2 weeks after March break here. The cinemas are all promising that everything is being wiped twice as often.
	8:52pm Flash Strap: here it's a mix of counties closing and other counties pretending nothing is going on, it's wild
	8:52pm David Dichelle: Just 8 minutes left for this hour's prizes: She's A Doll! Bellissima! Spider-Jazz! pledge.wfmu.org...
	8:53pm northguineahills: I got Sun Ra in my Martin Denny! (isn't there a Sun Ra Spiderman theme, that Liz Berg used to play?)
	8:53pm doctorjazz: Yup, Broadway was closed today, concerts cancelled (a work mate had Elton John show cancelled...serves her right).
	8:53pm Flash Strap: i don't know! Sun Ra did batman, but i don't know about spider man
	8:55pm David Dichelle: Thanks Julia for your pledge!
	8:56pm Flash Strap: Thanks Just Julia!
	8:57pm northguineahills: oh, right, flash! that's the one.
	8:57pm just julia: in this mixed up, shuffled up world, it's my pleasure and honor to pledge
	8:58pm David Dichelle: And thanks David in PA for your pledge!
	8:59pm David Dichelle: And here are the prizes for the second hour:
	8:59pm David Dichelle: She's A Doll! goes to Julia Bellissima! to David and Spider Jazz to Andrew!
	9:00pm melinda: @TDK so many people are taking a hit with all the closures, I hope it makes a serious difference in the virus spread.

	9:00pm melinda: Great instrument lineup.
	9:02pm just julia: many thanks!

	9:04pm doctorjazz: (And I was hoping to get good, cheap tickets to Hamilton...)
	9:10pm Flash Strap: we are sitting at 52%, just under an hour left to go!
	9:12pm David Dichelle: A $75 pledge for the Explorers Room Premium would certainly help!
	9:14pm doctorjazz: My actor daughter was to be in a show in Westchester this Spring, which just got cancelled. She's upset.
	9:15pm David Dichelle: Sorry to hear that doctorjazz, that really sucks.
	9:15pm Flash Strap: I bet!
	9:19pm Little Danny: Ah man, this version of "Jungle Drums" rules
	9:19pm Flash Strap: Thanks Doc for your generous pledge! I double my condolences to your daughter, robbed of her piece of stage by the virus
	9:19pm David Dichelle: Thanks for the pledge, Dr J!
	9:20pm Flash Strap: this devil virus
	9:20pm Flash Strap: @LD we need to remember to swap premiums this year man
	9:20pm TDK60: Well, the night appears more exotic.
	9:27pm Phillippe Bastille: Howdy
	9:27pm Little Danny: @Evan: indeed!
	9:28pm David Dichelle: Greetings Phillippe!
	9:28pm passiflora: I missed your message about winds!
	9:28pm doctorjazz: And she's thinking of moving back home, with things closing down in Manhattan. Many of her friends are doing that. That'll be ok with us.
	9:29pm Flash Strap: Hi Phillippe!
	9:29pm David Dichelle: Passiflora: Not to worry, the messages here sometimes fly off like the wind.
	9:29pm passiflora: enough to push a tetherball slightly
	9:30pm David Dichelle: Wow, tetherball, haven't thought about that in years!
	9:31pm David Dichelle: Doc: Hope things get back to normal for her - and everyone - soon.
	9:31pm doctorjazz: Anyone with computer savvy have an idea what I should do? My Windows 10 PC, which has ripped hundreds of CDs, suddenly isn't recognizing them. I put in the disc, and get a message telling me there's no disc, I need to put one in the drive. Happens with multiple different CDs, ones that I've previously ripped. No clue what to do.
	9:31pm passiflora: me neither! it brought me back to camp on the lake, with the astroturfed pier that water shined on
	9:32pm David Dichelle: Thank you, Coelacanth, for your pledge!
	9:32pm Flash Strap: Thanks Coelacanth for your kind & generous pledge!
	9:32pm doctorjazz: Thanks, David. Feels really weird these days...
	9:32pm JakeGould: Hello!
	9:33pm Flash Strap: @Doc: i have no idea - my mac did the same thing but i haven't been able to fix it
	9:33pm Flash Strap: hi Jake!
	9:33pm David Dichelle: Hello, Jake!
	9:33pm passiflora: answers.microsoft.com... I'm looking, but maybe a downgrade
	9:33pm David Dichelle: Doc: It could be your CD drive or the connection to it. Have you tried an external drive?
	9:35pm JakeGould: @doctorjazz: Is this a laptop or a desktop?
	9:36pm David Dichelle: 25 minutes to go and 38% to the goal - please help us get there: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:38pm TDK60: Enjoying the Laurie Spiegel piece muchly.
	9:38pm Flash Strap: me too TDK, what a piece
	9:40pm doctorjazz: Desktop...i haven't tried an external disc drive, I'd have to buy one to see if it worked (external hard drives are fine)
	9:41pm David Dichelle: Maybe you can borrow one to see if it works.
	9:42pm coelacanth∅: this is beautiful ...i'm not so present on the boards but listening the whole time; so's my niece -who came here from california yesterday and at 1pm today got word that her school is closing for the rest of the semester.
	9:42pm David Dichelle: Doc: Or if it's a desktop you could switch it with one from another computer.
	9:44pm JakeGould: @doctorjazz: Before you spend money on a new CD/DVD drive, I just checked and there was a Windows 10 update today. And to my knowledge Windows 10 automatically patches itself? I would recommend rebooting and seeing if that helps. And if that doesn’t help then try reinstalling drivers. Here is the official Microsoft page on updates. Note that “18363.720” was today. docs.microsoft.com...
	9:44pm Andrew Waterloo: @doctorjazz. usually the PC based drives will read anything, and all that work is done by windows. If you can't find a second drive, you could try a USB based install of Linux to see if can be detected there.
	9:44pm doctorjazz: Remove one from a laptop and connect it internally I the PC? Sounds above my pay grade.
	9:45pm David Dichelle: An external one is probably easiest if the Windows update doesn't do it.
	9:45pm JakeGould: Look at this site for more info. Windows updates tend to break drivers. www.groovypost.com...
	9:46pm David Dichelle: Coel: That is tough as well, so much upheaval.
	9:47pm doctorjazz: Rebooting didn't help (the one thingi learned to do in these situations). I'm guessing it's something in Windows 10.
	9:47pm David Dichelle: Coming down to the wire - pledge to keep this fantastic show, stream, and station going! pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:48pm Flash Strap: Do it for WFMU, for the Sparrow!
	9:49pm JakeGould: I would recommend just reinstalling drivers. Is this a custom desktop, or an off the shelf model? A USB external drive can work and they are relatively cheap — $30 for a basic one — but if it’s a driver issue then even the USB drive might not help.
	9:50pm David Dichelle: One last prize reminder (just in case): Sun Ra: Crystal Spears (LP) Laurie Spiegel: Unseen Worlds (Double LP) The Mighty Sparrow: The Slave (CD) Pledges $20 or more put you in the running.
	9:50pm passiflora: ubuntu budgie! @andrew waterloo comon, pledge
	9:50pm TDK60: I wonder if hazmat suits will be used in the WFMU kitchen area...
	9:50pm doctorjazz: It's a custom desktop, I put together witha friend (the generously describes it that way, I stood and handed him the screwdriver)
	9:51pm JakeGould: @DoctorJazz: My hunch is this is a driver issue.
	9:51pm David Dichelle: An appropriate track with 9 minutes left!
	9:52pm Flash Strap: one last beauty, me hearties
	9:54pm Flash Strap: just a few minutes to get your name in there! this is the wire, we're down to it!
	9:54pm David Dichelle: Six minutes left to grab a prize: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:54pm TDK60: Thanks DJs Flash & David... Gute Nacht.
	9:54pm coelacanth∅: David i forgot to mention this was just supposed to be a 5-day trip! ...and as if that weren't enough to make her miserable her parents are getting divorced...father's out, which is very good! but my sister fell for this bullshit the realtors pull now and had a "stager" come in and make the house uncomfortable..."almost unlivable"!
	9:55pm Flash Strap: G'night TDK! thanks !
	9:55pm David Dichelle: Gute Nacht TDK!
	9:55pm David Dichelle: Coel, yikes.
	9:55pm Little Danny: Epically done this evenin' Evan. Thank you for all you do for this incredible show.
	9:56pm Little Danny: Let the love flow on my people, Evan and I will be in the next room! wfmu.org...
	9:56pm David Dichelle: Winners to be revealed in mere minutes. Last chance to be on the list.
	9:56pm Flash Strap: Thanks LD, can't wait to step into your marathon and relax
	9:57pm Flash Strap: MEREST MINUTES!

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.

	9:31pm David Dichelle: Doc: Hope things get back to normal for her - and everyone - soon.
	9:31pm doctorjazz: Anyone with computer savvy have an idea what I should do? My Windows 10 PC, which has ripped hundreds of CDs, suddenly isn't recognizing them. I put in the disc, and get a message telling me there's no disc, I need to put one in the drive. Happens with multiple different CDs, ones that I've previously ripped. No clue what to do.

	9:33pm David Dichelle: Hello, Jake!
	9:33pm passiflora: answers.microsoft.com... I'm looking, but maybe a downgrade
	9:33pm David Dichelle: Doc: It could be your CD drive or the connection to it. Have you tried an external drive?
	9:35pm JakeGould: @doctorjazz: Is this a laptop or a desktop?
	9:36pm David Dichelle: 25 minutes to go and 38% to the goal - please help us get there: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:38pm TDK60: Enjoying the Laurie Spiegel piece muchly.
	9:38pm Flash Strap: me too TDK, what a piece
	9:40pm doctorjazz: Desktop...i haven't tried an external disc drive, I'd have to buy one to see if it worked (external hard drives are fine)
	9:41pm David Dichelle: Maybe you can borrow one to see if it works.
	9:42pm coelacanth∅: this is beautiful ...i'm not so present on the boards but listening the whole time; so's my niece -who came here from california yesterday and at 1pm today got word that her school is closing for the rest of the semester.
	9:42pm David Dichelle: Doc: Or if it's a desktop you could switch it with one from another computer.
	9:44pm JakeGould: @doctorjazz: Before you spend money on a new CD/DVD drive, I just checked and there was a Windows 10 update today. And to my knowledge Windows 10 automatically patches itself? I would recommend rebooting and seeing if that helps. And if that doesn’t help then try reinstalling drivers. Here is the official Microsoft page on updates. Note that “18363.720” was today. docs.microsoft.com...
	9:44pm Andrew Waterloo: @doctorjazz. usually the PC based drives will read anything, and all that work is done by windows. If you can't find a second drive, you could try a USB based install of Linux to see if can be detected there.
	9:44pm doctorjazz: Remove one from a laptop and connect it internally I the PC? Sounds above my pay grade.
	9:45pm David Dichelle: An external one is probably easiest if the Windows update doesn't do it.
	9:45pm JakeGould: Look at this site for more info. Windows updates tend to break drivers. www.groovypost.com...
	9:46pm David Dichelle: Coel: That is tough as well, so much upheaval.
	9:47pm doctorjazz: Rebooting didn't help (the one thingi learned to do in these situations). I'm guessing it's something in Windows 10.
	9:47pm David Dichelle: Coming down to the wire - pledge to keep this fantastic show, stream, and station going! pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:48pm Flash Strap: Do it for WFMU, for the Sparrow!
	9:49pm JakeGould: I would recommend just reinstalling drivers. Is this a custom desktop, or an off the shelf model? A USB external drive can work and they are relatively cheap — $30 for a basic one — but if it’s a driver issue then even the USB drive might not help.
	9:50pm David Dichelle: One last prize reminder (just in case): Sun Ra: Crystal Spears (LP) Laurie Spiegel: Unseen Worlds (Double LP) The Mighty Sparrow: The Slave (CD) Pledges $20 or more put you in the running.
	9:50pm passiflora: ubuntu budgie! @andrew waterloo comon, pledge
	9:50pm TDK60: I wonder if hazmat suits will be used in the WFMU kitchen area...
	9:50pm doctorjazz: It's a custom desktop, I put together witha friend (the generously describes it that way, I stood and handed him the screwdriver)
	9:51pm JakeGould: @DoctorJazz: My hunch is this is a driver issue.
	9:51pm David Dichelle: An appropriate track with 9 minutes left!
	9:52pm Flash Strap: one last beauty, me hearties
	9:54pm Flash Strap: just a few minutes to get your name in there! this is the wire, we're down to it!
	9:54pm David Dichelle: Six minutes left to grab a prize: pledge.wfmu.org...
	9:54pm TDK60: Thanks DJs Flash & David... Gute Nacht.
	9:54pm coelacanth∅: David i forgot to mention this was just supposed to be a 5-day trip! ...and as if that weren't enough to make her miserable her parents are getting divorced...father's out, which is very good! but my sister fell for this bullshit the realtors pull now and had a "stager" come in and make the house uncomfortable..."almost unlivable"!
	9:55pm Flash Strap: G'night TDK! thanks !
