	7:22pm doctorjazz: Fine album, the Alice Coltrane! Hi Flash and Flasheroonios!
	🥁 7:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alice very SunRa here... Had flu for Thanksgiving...may garlic gods bless there...
	7:23pm Flash Strap: almost escaped me too, Hyde! I've only listened to this once actually. I kept seeing it around and thinking it was some comp, but it's a full-fledged never-been-heard soundboard recording from '72
	7:23pm Flash Strap: Hi TDK! Happy New Year
	7:23pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc!
	7:24pm quinn: holy
	7:24pm Flash Strap: @Rev: Alice on organ is often VERY Sun Ra, never more so than here
	7:25pm Flash Strap: Charlie Haden on bass
	7:25pm hyde: always a good thing
	🥁 7:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Charlie.
	7:31pm Flash Strap: very little recognizable between this and the album version, even including Cecil McBee's unforgettable bassline. incredibly fascinating recording
	7:31pm TDK60: Is it possible to putz round the house while simultaneously being transported? These and other questions...
	7:31pm passiflora: feelin it
	7:33pm hyde: @Flash it's completely different! mind blowing.
	7:34pm Flash Strap: damn that harp sounds like the Frankiphone, this is drivin me wild
	7:35pm quinn: @TDK I mean, I was hearing this from upstairs as I put my kids to bed, so yes
	7:36pm quinn: God damn it this is so good
	7:38pm Flash Strap: truly a pleasure to give this my own first Serious Listen with you all. Have yet to fully explore the rest of the album, very excited
	7:39pm hyde: now it sounds familiar
	7:40pm quinn: Someone I know just asked on her Facebook for albums to play that weren’t overtly sexual but would turn someone on, and she got this album as a suggestion.
	7:40pm Flash Strap: this is truly as good as a piece of music can be, I think. Cecil McBee with that incredible bassline, Pharoah Sanders at his best (imo), that tambura, and the harp just glistening
	7:41pm Flash Strap: @quinn: big time, very sensual music
	7:42pm passiflora: love
	7:43pm hyde: this record is so great

	7:57pm Flash Strap: Novachord on this Giovannini
	7:58pm Flash Strap: Novachord: www.discretesynthesizers.com...
	7:59pm doctorjazz: These were albums for audio nerds; Mercury (and RCA Living Stereo) albums, especially the classical releases, command high prices.
	8:01pm hyde: that is some killer bongo playing
	8:01pm Flash Strap: this one did not, fortunately! The command LPs are also really easy to come by, and sound great if they're in good shape
	8:01pm Flash Strap: @hyde: really is
	8:01pm Hams: sounds brilliant!
	8:02pm Flash Strap: Hi Hams!
	8:02pm hyde: oh, Caesar Giovannini and Pete Rugolo did the music for the Thriller tv show. I dig that show.
	8:02pm melinda: hi Evan & all
	8:03pm doctorjazz: Have Command albums on the shelf as well (managed to get many RCA's, Marc's, Eli's at bargain basement prices)
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda!
	8:04pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Explorers
	8:04pm doctorjazz: (EMI's, that is)
	8:04pm Flash Strap: @Hyde: I've never seen that, but I bet the music is killer with those two on the case
	8:05pm melinda: This music should help me wash dishes at a fast clip.
	8:06pm Flash Strap: cover for La Tino: img.discogs.com...
	8:06pm hyde: @Flash it's pretty good, I watched the first two seasons. Has Boris Karloff intros! and the music is solid.
	8:06pm Flash Strap: Crown has great trashy cover art, such a cool label
	8:07pm ParUbi: Joe Penner (November 11, 1904 – January 10, 1941) was an American 1930s-era vaudeville, radio and film comedian.
	8:07pm Flash Strap: Just imagine Fred Astaire dancing to this
	8:07pm Flash Strap: the "perfect for dancing" insignia: img.discogs.com...

	8:10pm Flash Strap: Hi JtotheK! happy new year amigo
	8:10pm Flash Strap: Hi ParUbi!
	8:12pm ARB: Always pleased to hear the talking guitar!
	8:12pm ParUbi: <3 Sleep Walk <3
	8:12pm doctorjazz: Nothing But The Hits!
	8:13pm Flash Strap: Hi ARB! yeah Pete Drake is just crazy good
	8:14pm TDK60: always dug (dig) Pete Drake's playing on George Harrison's All Things Must Pass album.
	8:14pm Flash Strap: TDK: I actually didn't know he was on that! wild
	8:16pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): loveliness
	8:16pm ARB: I didn't know that either, will have to give it a new listen
	8:16pm passiflora: small dub reflections on lotus
	8:16pm doctorjazz: Barry Galbraith on guitar, and some nice jazz accordion (sorta jazz...)
	8:16pm Flash Strap: love this understated jazzy Lotus Land, recent find
	8:16pm Flash Strap: Hi Granny!
	8:17pm Flash Strap: a harpsichord Caravan, also a recent find. not in the best shape but cool to hear nonetheless
	8:18pm TDK60: yeh, one tune I recall is "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)" -very pretty steel geetar.
	8:19pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Flash, I've been listening while I sleep. You sick too, huh?
	8:19pm Flash Strap: nice flute from Jerome Richardson on this. Coldin on that harpsichord. nice cover too (Everest always has great covers): img.discogs.com...
	8:20pm melinda: Nice version of Misirlou
	8:21pm ARB: I'm having a sick day as well...
	8:21pm Flash Strap: Hi Franco! yeah I got the bug, a cold of snot
	8:21pm TDK60: Franco, evenin' -Just got Aoxomoxoa out of the public library.
	8:21pm Uncle Michael: I'm playing Caravan every week and I've never hard that Michael Coldin Septet!
	8:21pm Flash Strap: @ARD: Eddie Baxter's exotica takes are always really cool
	8:21pm ARB: This is creating a lovely soundtrack to the article about the Comoros Islands I'm currently reading
	8:21pm Flash Strap: Hi Uncle! nice
	8:23pm doctorjazz: Now we're in my parents record collection.
	8:23pm Flash Strap: original composition from Ros here, really compelling I think
	8:23pm p: I keep picturing this all playing nicely at an old hotel
	8:23pm Doug Schulkind: Hello Flash and Explorateers!
	8:23pm Franco Twinkie: TDK! Did you get the expanded version? My mom and I were listening to it in the parking lot.
	8:23pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug!
	🥁 8:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One thing crosses my mind ... : I wish you could fill my iPod for when I got no WiFi...
	8:26pm TDK60: ..Franco, 4 bonus tracks if that's what you mean, or do you mean like to, man, expand your mind?
	8:26pm Flash Strap: @P: i'd like to visit a hotel, or even a restaurant, that played good atmospheric music, feels like an extinct concept. every place just pops on some spotify playlist designed by an algorithm to drive me specifically insane
	8:27pm Flash Strap: @REv: well it'd be my pleasure if it ever came to pass
	8:27pm ARB: me and you Flash Strap
	8:29pm northguineahills: @TDK: I'm not even going to tell you what recs I scored from the Jacksonville Public Library in 2000 for $0.50 each... (it took three trips to my car 5 blocks away). None of my friends knew about it. Wow, 2000 was so long ago!
	8:29pm Franco Twinkie: Alina, you and me and Flash should sit around in a circle with out feet in a tub of hot water with towels on our heads and thermometers sticking out of our mouths just like an old cartoon about sick people.
	8:29pm melinda: @P yes, I feel like I'm in a hotel lounge of yore
	8:30pm Flash Strap: That's been me the last two days Franco, i need some sick buddies
	8:30pm Flash Strap: Music to Break Any Mood, classic cover art: img.discogs.com...
	8:30pm ARB: Franco yes please! that is exactly what the doctor ordered
	🥁 8:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like - this Program exemplifies what I think great incidental music for passing thru whatever would be :) ...
	8:31pm passiflora: @flash I'd love that, exactly
	8:33pm Flash Strap: @rev: one of my great passions, I think the whole idea of background music is insanely trippy if done right
	🥁 8:36pm chresti: Miracle*Surface..what a , that album cover @Flash
	8:36pm Flash Strap: intense cover art from the Westminster label (perhaps most famous for that Ferrante & Teicher UFO cover): img.discogs.com...
	🥁 8:37pm chresti: In '57, Dick was Richard
	8:37pm Franco Twinkie: Ha! That brings a funny image to mind, TDK. A CD that sprays LSD into your face when you open it. No, I meant the bonus tracks. I particularly like Clementine Jam and the wide open version of The Eleven, which to me is The Dead at their fiercest.
	🥁 8:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Story of the Synthesizer repair man who contacted dry crystal LSD from decades ago inside one & tripped...
	8:41pm Flash Strap: that was an incredible tale, i remember that
	8:41pm passiflora: found horowitz in moscow record at the library yesterday (scriabin - 8 étude In D sharp minor Op. 8 No. 12). as I pushed a cart of records it became a squall
	8:42pm fleep: Lick this spot --> * greetings
	8:42pm melinda: The singing guitar is back!
	8:43pm Flash Strap: hi Fleep!
	8:43pm Franco Twinkie: I seem to remember that the synth in question belonged to Owsley, is that right?
	8:45pm Flash Strap: love the birds on this Los Indios Tabajaras
	8:48pm quinn: dreamy / dreaming
	8:54pm Franco Twinkie: I remember when I was high school going to a friends house to get high and listen to records and he said "Lemme show you what my dad likes" and him showing me a record by Los Indios Tabajaras where they are dressed like, well, wild Indians! I've been looking for that record ever since.
	8:56pm Little Danny: Evenin' Flash and all
	9:01pm TDK60: Alreet, this Mikey D. is one of my fave dub albumz!
	9:02pm Flash Strap: They look like that on almost all of them, Franco! most of their records are pretty good, some great
	9:02pm Flash Strap: evenin LD!
	9:02pm Flash Strap: @TDK: was it you that hipped me to this?
	9:03pm TDK60: maybe [?]
	9:03pm Flash Strap: it's so great
	9:03pm Flash Strap: you have my thanks, just to be safe
	9:05pm TDK60: ..it's really a trip ("WWIII").
	9:05pm ARB: from tropical to topical
	9:06pm Franco Twinkie: From where I'm sitting in the living room, I can see Chrestis shadow skanking on the kitchen wall.
	9:06pm northguineahills: @Rev Rabbit y franco: yes, it was Owsley...
	9:07pm Uncle Michael: stream just licked in
	9:07pm Flash Strap: @franco: perfect
	9:07pm Flash Strap: ah dammit
	9:08pm northguineahills: @franco:word!
	9:09pm Flash Strap: i'm about to move, hopefully my new place will have real internet and I won't have drops anymore. here i have 3mbps down, less than 1 up. it's a struggle
	9:09pm Uncle Michael: it was only briefly
	9:09pm Flash Strap: crazy fx on this Hudson
	9:10pm Franco Twinkie: Where do you live Flash?
	9:10pm Flash Strap: @TDK: do you know the difference between Mikey Dread's WWIII and Beyond WWIII? or if there is one?
	9:10pm Flash Strap: Bahama NC, Franco
	9:11pm John from Florham park: Hello fellow listeners
	9:12pm Flash Strap: Hello dear John
	9:12pm TDK60: ..yeh, a few songs are different but I forget details. One version opens with "Break Down the Walls" (as the album /should/!), the other not.
	9:14pm Franco Twinkie: Thats me! Cussing De President.
	9:14pm Flash Strap: i see, just different versions of the same basic album?
	🥁 9:15pm chresti: Nice
	9:16pm TDK60: yes, I'd have to check the facts but now am putzing over other chores..
	9:16pm Flash Strap: These Sherwood productions are so haunting and visceral, feel like they come from some post-apocalyptic future
	9:16pm Flash Strap: don't worry about TDK, that's really my job anyway
	9:19pm Flash Strap: this moaning is such a good, smart crib from the Lee Perry method, taken to a different place in an artful way
	🥁 9:19pm chresti: Alright, the putz skank!
	9:20pm still b/p: The 3 Down / 1 Up Brotherhood! Been a member for years. And, oh, yeahhh, payin' them dues! Uploaded something that was well over 200 MB today. You can imagine. Tryin' to coax a dugong through a cocktail straw.
	9:20pm Flash Strap: Hey b/p! boy do I know it
	9:22pm Doug Schulkind: Having a hard time focusing on my own show prep this evening. I generally try to clear the decks so I can go Explorer Rooming. I have one ear here and one ear on my pile of possible spins. I will be devoting an hour to the music of Iran on Give the Drummer Some tomorrow. Some gorgeous gobsmackers will be happening!
	9:25pm Flash Strap: That sounds excellent Doug! I was thinking of doing some Iranian music tonight but realized I have very little and know nothing. So I can't wait for your show tomorrow, a necessary corrective and I'm sure a massive pleasure as well
	9:29pm Franco Twinkie: As soon as I am feeling better I want to go out and have Persian food.
	9:32pm ParUbi: Pomegranates!
	9:34pm Franco Twinkie: Yes ParUbi, Pomegranates are everywhere right now, including smashed all over my moms driveway.
	9:35pm Doug Schulkind: @ParUbi I have a track from the Pomegranates comp (www.discogs.com...) in the queue!
	9:36pm Flash Strap: great Googoosh tracks on that
	9:38pm still b/p: You can get a pomegranate donut up around here, when Holy Donut has 'em. It's a potato doughnut.
	9:39pm Flash Strap: The Man-God Prince Far I
	9:39pm Doug Schulkind: I have a killer Gogoosh track in the queue (how could I not), but a different one.
	9:41pm Flash Strap: All her tracks are killer! can't wait to hear
	9:42pm melinda: @b/p Holy Donut has really taken off.
	9:42pm Flash Strap: Mikey Dread's stuff is so good
	9:45pm Flash Strap: just a dazzling production, this Horace Andy track
	9:45pm northguineahills: what Flash said...
	🥁 9:50pm WR: Thank you for excellent show. Provided suitable soundtrack as wife and I reviewed current headlines over dinner.

	9:55pm CC: we shouldn't discriminate when it comes to music!!!
	9:55pm Doug Schulkind: Jesse Kamknsky is the Iranian music expert in Drummerland. He knows the outs and the ins of the great Arang Rooz record label.
	9:56pm Franco Twinkie: Flash, thanks for sitting upright. Take a bath in hot soup, that's what I'm gonna do!
	🥁 9:56pm chresti: Thanks Flash!
	9:58pm Flash Strap: Thanks everyone for tuning in! Thank you so much catch you in the next room, tho i'll be quietly hanging my head over a bowl of steam
	🥁 9:58pm chresti: Gary Sullivan played some Iranian stuff a couple weeks back
	9:58pm northguineahills: Elizabeth Cotton, and how she holds the guitar in reverse. 'Discovered by Pete Seeger as she was a nanny/maid for Ruth Crawford Seeger.
	9:58pm Little Danny: Some issues behind the scenes this eve but at last good to go. Catch you in the archive, Flash.
	9:59pm northguineahills: and, thanks, Evan!
	9:59pm Hams: appreciate it, flash.
	9:59pm Little Danny: Straight ahead for Le Flame: wfmu.org... Please walk on in!

Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from January 9, 2020

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.

	7:12pm Flash Strap: i tried so hard to avoid it, I think I'm the last of all my friends to catch this cold. almost made it through, but it caught up to me
	7:15pm hyde: that's the worst
	🥁 7:19pm chresti: Yeah, everybody had colds last week, now Franco's got it, I.m next. I like to think it's lost it's steam by the time it hits us.

	7:22pm doctorjazz: Fine album, the Alice Coltrane! Hi Flash and Flasheroonios!
	🥁 7:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Alice very SunRa here... Had flu for Thanksgiving...may garlic gods bless there...
	7:23pm Flash Strap: almost escaped me too, Hyde! I've only listened to this once actually. I kept seeing it around and thinking it was some comp, but it's a full-fledged never-been-heard soundboard recording from '72
	7:23pm Flash Strap: Hi TDK! Happy New Year
	7:23pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc!
	7:24pm quinn: holy
	7:24pm Flash Strap: @Rev: Alice on organ is often VERY Sun Ra, never more so than here
	7:25pm Flash Strap: Charlie Haden on bass
	7:25pm hyde: always a good thing
	🥁 7:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Charlie.
	7:31pm Flash Strap: very little recognizable between this and the album version, even including Cecil McBee's unforgettable bassline. incredibly fascinating recording
	7:31pm TDK60: Is it possible to putz round the house while simultaneously being transported? These and other questions...
	7:31pm passiflora: feelin it
	7:33pm hyde: @Flash it's completely different! mind blowing.
	7:34pm Flash Strap: damn that harp sounds like the Frankiphone, this is drivin me wild
	7:35pm quinn: @TDK I mean, I was hearing this from upstairs as I put my kids to bed, so yes
	7:36pm quinn: God damn it this is so good
	7:38pm Flash Strap: truly a pleasure to give this my own first Serious Listen with you all. Have yet to fully explore the rest of the album, very excited
	7:39pm hyde: now it sounds familiar
	7:40pm quinn: Someone I know just asked on her Facebook for albums to play that weren’t overtly sexual but would turn someone on, and she got this album as a suggestion.
	7:40pm Flash Strap: this is truly as good as a piece of music can be, I think. Cecil McBee with that incredible bassline, Pharoah Sanders at his best (imo), that tambura, and the harp just glistening
	7:41pm Flash Strap: @quinn: big time, very sensual music
	7:42pm passiflora: love
	7:43pm hyde: this record is so great

	7:57pm Flash Strap: Novachord on this Giovannini
	7:58pm Flash Strap: Novachord: www.discretesynthesizers.com...
	7:59pm doctorjazz: These were albums for audio nerds; Mercury (and RCA Living Stereo) albums, especially the classical releases, command high prices.
	8:01pm hyde: that is some killer bongo playing
	8:01pm Flash Strap: this one did not, fortunately! The command LPs are also really easy to come by, and sound great if they're in good shape
	8:01pm Flash Strap: @hyde: really is
	8:01pm Hams: sounds brilliant!
	8:02pm Flash Strap: Hi Hams!
	8:02pm hyde: oh, Caesar Giovannini and Pete Rugolo did the music for the Thriller tv show. I dig that show.

	8:03pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda!
	8:04pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan and Explorers

	8:05pm melinda: This music should help me wash dishes at a fast clip.
	8:06pm Flash Strap: cover for La Tino: img.discogs.com...
	8:06pm hyde: @Flash it's pretty good, I watched the first two seasons. Has Boris Karloff intros! and the music is solid.

	8:16pm Flash Strap: love this understated jazzy Lotus Land, recent find
	8:16pm Flash Strap: Hi Granny!
	8:17pm Flash Strap: a harpsichord Caravan, also a recent find. not in the best shape but cool to hear nonetheless
	8:18pm TDK60: yeh, one tune I recall is "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)" -very pretty steel geetar.
	8:19pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Flash, I've been listening while I sleep. You sick too, huh?
	8:19pm Flash Strap: nice flute from Jerome Richardson on this. Coldin on that harpsichord. nice cover too (Everest always has great covers): img.discogs.com...
	8:20pm melinda: Nice version of Misirlou

	8:21pm Flash Strap: Hi Uncle! nice
	8:23pm doctorjazz: Now we're in my parents record collection.
	8:23pm Flash Strap: original composition from Ros here, really compelling I think
	8:23pm p: I keep picturing this all playing nicely at an old hotel
	8:23pm Doug Schulkind: Hello Flash and Explorateers!
	8:23pm Franco Twinkie: TDK! Did you get the expanded version? My mom and I were listening to it in the parking lot.
	8:23pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug!
	🥁 8:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One thing crosses my mind ... : I wish you could fill my iPod for when I got no WiFi...
	8:26pm TDK60: ..Franco, 4 bonus tracks if that's what you mean, or do you mean like to, man, expand your mind?
	8:26pm Flash Strap: @P: i'd like to visit a hotel, or even a restaurant, that played good atmospheric music, feels like an extinct concept. every place just pops on some spotify playlist designed by an algorithm to drive me specifically insane
	8:27pm Flash Strap: @REv: well it'd be my pleasure if it ever came to pass
	8:27pm ARB: me and you Flash Strap
	8:29pm northguineahills: @TDK: I'm not even going to tell you what recs I scored from the Jacksonville Public Library in 2000 for $0.50 each... (it took three trips to my car 5 blocks away). None of my friends knew about it. Wow, 2000 was so long ago!
	8:29pm Franco Twinkie: Alina, you and me and Flash should sit around in a circle with out feet in a tub of hot water with towels on our heads and thermometers sticking out of our mouths just like an old cartoon about sick people.
	8:29pm melinda: @P yes, I feel like I'm in a hotel lounge of yore
	8:30pm Flash Strap: That's been me the last two days Franco, i need some sick buddies
	8:30pm Flash Strap: Music to Break Any Mood, classic cover art: img.discogs.com...
	8:30pm ARB: Franco yes please! that is exactly what the doctor ordered
	🥁 8:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...like - this Program exemplifies what I think great incidental music for passing thru whatever would be :) ...
	8:31pm passiflora: @flash I'd love that, exactly
	8:33pm Flash Strap: @rev: one of my great passions, I think the whole idea of background music is insanely trippy if done right
	🥁 8:36pm chresti: Miracle*Surface..what a , that album cover @Flash
	8:36pm Flash Strap: intense cover art from the Westminster label (perhaps most famous for that Ferrante & Teicher UFO cover): img.discogs.com...
	🥁 8:37pm chresti: In '57, Dick was Richard
	8:37pm Franco Twinkie: Ha! That brings a funny image to mind, TDK. A CD that sprays LSD into your face when you open it. No, I meant the bonus tracks. I particularly like Clementine Jam and the wide open version of The Eleven, which to me is The Dead at their fiercest.
	🥁 8:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Story of the Synthesizer repair man who contacted dry crystal LSD from decades ago inside one & tripped...
	8:41pm Flash Strap: that was an incredible tale, i remember that

	8:45pm Flash Strap: love the birds on this Los Indios Tabajaras
	8:48pm quinn: dreamy / dreaming
	8:54pm Franco Twinkie: I remember when I was high school going to a friends house to get high and listen to records and he said "Lemme show you what my dad likes" and him showing me a record by Los Indios Tabajaras where they are dressed like, well, wild Indians! I've been looking for that record ever since.
	8:56pm Little Danny: Evenin' Flash and all
	9:01pm TDK60: Alreet, this Mikey D. is one of my fave dub albumz!
	9:02pm Flash Strap: They look like that on almost all of them, Franco! most of their records are pretty good, some great
	9:02pm Flash Strap: evenin LD!
	9:02pm Flash Strap: @TDK: was it you that hipped me to this?

	9:09pm Uncle Michael: it was only briefly
	9:09pm Flash Strap: crazy fx on this Hudson
	9:10pm Franco Twinkie: Where do you live Flash?
	9:10pm Flash Strap: @TDK: do you know the difference between Mikey Dread's WWIII and Beyond WWIII? or if there is one?
	9:10pm Flash Strap: Bahama NC, Franco
	9:11pm John from Florham park: Hello fellow listeners
	9:12pm Flash Strap: Hello dear John
	9:12pm TDK60: ..yeh, a few songs are different but I forget details. One version opens with "Break Down the Walls" (as the album /should/!), the other not.
	9:14pm Franco Twinkie: Thats me! Cussing De President.
	9:14pm Flash Strap: i see, just different versions of the same basic album?
	🥁 9:15pm chresti: Nice
	9:16pm TDK60: yes, I'd have to check the facts but now am putzing over other chores..
	9:16pm Flash Strap: These Sherwood productions are so haunting and visceral, feel like they come from some post-apocalyptic future
	9:16pm Flash Strap: don't worry about TDK, that's really my job anyway
	9:19pm Flash Strap: this moaning is such a good, smart crib from the Lee Perry method, taken to a different place in an artful way
	🥁 9:19pm chresti: Alright, the putz skank!
	9:20pm still b/p: The 3 Down / 1 Up Brotherhood! Been a member for years. And, oh, yeahhh, payin' them dues! Uploaded something that was well over 200 MB today. You can imagine. Tryin' to coax a dugong through a cocktail straw.
	9:20pm Flash Strap: Hey b/p! boy do I know it
	9:22pm Doug Schulkind: Having a hard time focusing on my own show prep this evening. I generally try to clear the decks so I can go Explorer Rooming. I have one ear here and one ear on my pile of possible spins. I will be devoting an hour to the music of Iran on Give the Drummer Some tomorrow. Some gorgeous gobsmackers will be happening!
	9:25pm Flash Strap: That sounds excellent Doug! I was thinking of doing some Iranian music tonight but realized I have very little and know nothing. So I can't wait for your show tomorrow, a necessary corrective and I'm sure a massive pleasure as well
	9:29pm Franco Twinkie: As soon as I am feeling better I want to go out and have Persian food.
	9:32pm ParUbi: Pomegranates!
	9:34pm Franco Twinkie: Yes ParUbi, Pomegranates are everywhere right now, including smashed all over my moms driveway.
	9:35pm Doug Schulkind: @ParUbi I have a track from the Pomegranates comp (www.discogs.com...) in the queue!
	9:36pm Flash Strap: great Googoosh tracks on that
