Listener comments!
	🥁 6:19pm chresti: Hello in advance!
	🥁 6:21pm chresti: Wow! nice microscopics visuals!
	6:36pm Flash Strap: Hi Chresti! Yeah I love those images
	6:37pm Flash Strap: top image is French Surrealist, Yves Tanguy bottom by the 19th c. German naturalist, Ernst Haeckel
	6:45pm Flash Strap: The Tanguy is called "Belomancy"
	6:54pm doctorjazz: Was he the last Tanguy in Paris? (sorry...) Hey all!
	6:56pm Flash Strap: hey doc! i am laughing
	6:57pm Flash Strap: ok getting the machines warmed up, about to start now
	6:58pm βrian: I can't find my pith helmet, but I'm here.
	7:00pm chresti: Har! Doc!
	7:00pm chresti: Making coffee in the kitchen..
	7:01pm Flash Strap: Hi Brian! Welcome
	7:02pm listener james from westwood: Evening, all!!
	7:03pm Flash Strap: Listener James! welcome, welcome, wonderful to have you
	7:03pm Flash Strap: this album is incredible
	7:04pm northguineahills: I saw someone wearing a pith helmet walking down the sidewalk yesterday, and thought, "nice look!".
	7:05pm βrian: @NGH: Was it Sir Elemental?
	7:05pm Flash Strap: NGH, splendid! I have never successfully worn a pith helmet and felt even slightly ok, tbh
	7:06pm βrian: @Flash: I expect it requires a blazing hot sun overhead. That changes one's perspective in a hurry.
	7:07pm Flash Strap: yeah, totally. I've never worn a pith helmet in its intended weather conditions
	🥁 7:07pm chresti: would an overturned metal bowl work?
	7:08pm Flash Strap: yes but colander is better
	7:09pm Flash Strap: this of course is best: m.media-amazon.com...
	7:09pm βrian: @Flash: If (IF!) you have hair.
	7:10pm Flash Strap: indeed true
	🥁 7:11pm chresti: she looks so relaxed
	7:11pm Flash Strap: she is marlon brando
	🥁 7:12pm chresti: that's me when I have to go outside
	7:12pm βrian: @chresti: Aye, but soon rigor mortis will set in ...
	7:12pm Flash Strap: in that same movie, he also wears sort of a turban with an ice bucket wrapped into it, it's luxurious as hell
	7:13pm βrian: He also makes a request for butter, as I recall.
	7:13pm northguineahills: @βrian: If he was British, it may well have been...sharp looking chap....
	🥁 7:14pm chresti: what movie is that?
	7:14pm Flash Strap: he's really good in that flick, for my money. Dr. Moreau
	7:15pm Flash Strap: it is itself not very good, but it has good/insane elements
	🥁 7:15pm chresti: ah! have not seen that
	7:17pm βrian: Maria Schneider, we miss you.
	7:17pm northguineahills: I was a my local dive, and the young bartendress just discovered Sir Elementa and put him on. I had to explain chap-hop to her.....
	7:17pm Flash Strap: not as good an adaptation of Island of Lost Souls but very weird. the book is crucially excellent, as a sidenote. everyone should read it
	7:19pm hyde: hi
	7:19pm Flash Strap: hi pal, great to see you
	7:20pm βrian: "bartendress?" Oh my. You get a hundred points of extra credit for that. I've never heard the term!
	7:20pm geezerette: Hello,Evan and divers!
	7:20pm βrian: En français, of course: Bar Tendresse.
	7:21pm Flash Strap: hi Geeze! welcome friend
	🥁 7:22pm chresti: hi again!
	🥁 7:24pm chresti: Bar mistress
	7:24pm northguineahills: βrian: I purloined my lexicon from a heist at the Charles Montgomery Burns manor.
	7:29pm Flash Strap: extremely good new music here
	🥁 7:30pm chresti: yes
	7:32pm Flash Strap: i keep reading reviews of this that sort of act like Kate NV's sound is this unprecedented thing, and getting annoyed because it's an extremely good iteration of a sound with ample precedent but mostly i'm pleased it's getting good reviews, because it's super good
	7:34pm northguineahills: Here you go Evan! Ухо=Uho Для=Dlja (I barely know cyrillic, and know only a few words in russian)
	7:34pm βrian: It reminds me of Kinda-Françoise Sagan: "Bonjour BarTendresse."
	🥁 7:34pm chresti: you can get a bedspread with Ernst Haeckel art on it!
	7:37pm Flash Strap: yeah his stuff must be public domain because I see a lot of stuff like that online
	7:37pm Flash Strap: truly one of the greatest artists of his or any generation
	🥁 7:39pm chresti: draves.org/pix/kdn/
	7:40pm Flash Strap: whoa
	7:43pm Flash Strap: that's really cool
	7:43pm geezerette: Evan@7:32: Totally agree, on both points. Her music reminds me of swimming in perfectly clear water off Nassau one childhood summer. Like floating / flying.
	🥁 7:43pm chresti: I bet I've seen a haeckel poster on a wall somewhere before
	7:46pm Flash Strap: @G: it was strange to discover that her inspiration was the city of Moscow, because it really puts me in an aquatic / floating in a petri dish state of mind. I like that unexpected element of it a lot though I'll say it again though, wow what a good new record
	🥁 7:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aloha
	7:47pm Flash Strap: really dig the compositional sparseness of this new Sun Araw, I like him in this mode, it's psychedelic but with big open areas
	7:48pm Flash Strap: aloha Rabbit!
	7:50pm geezerette: Chresti,great share! Howdy, revrab!
	7:53pm Flash Strap: Typhonian Highlife = Spencer Clark = Monopoly Child Star Searchers I like this release best of anything I've heard him do
	🥁 7:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Quite an Environment. Do you suppose Drug Music now means DMT or something ??...
	🥁 7:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...not that the 13thFloorElevators weren't singing about it in 1966...)
	7:55pm Flash Strap: ha maybe so, actually. never done DMT tho so hard to say
	🥁 7:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's only hearsay to me too - but I hear Terrence McKenna say an awful lot about it...Super otherworld visionary thing w/ Entities...
	7:57pm northguineahills: Typhonian Highlife, new to me!
	7:58pm northguineahills: I had a friend that got a hold of some DMT a two years ago, but I was busy w/ what led to moving madness I never got try any.
	7:59pm Flash Strap: his notes on the album are very in line with early Castaneda, in a way. though it's hard to tell what exactly they're tripping on in Don Juan, at times. Mescaline / Peyote / Ayahuasca?
	8:01pm Flash Strap: this album is a real brain melter
	8:01pm βrian: Thanks, Flash. I have to back out and serve dinner to my habib'ti.
	8:02pm Flash Strap: @NGH: I guess previous Typhonian Highlife releases have been mostly pretty Hellraiser / Cenobyte themed, of all things, so this one's pretty unique
	8:03pm northguineahills: Corbusier Design, does the album cover have a corbusier on it?
	8:03pm melinda: hi explorers!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: nope: img.discogs.com...
	🥁 8:04pm chresti: Hi
	8:04pm Flash Strap: ah Melinda! hello!
	8:05pm Flash Strap: the blog I got this from described it as sounding like she was "speaking in fractals" and I liked that mental approach
	8:06pm geezerette: Weird, but I'm reminded of Pygmy singing, which is also otherworldly and very beautiful.
	8:07pm geezerette: Hey, Melinda!
	8:14pm Flash Strap: This Carl Stone track can also be found on the very good compilation from Unseen Worlds, Electronic Music From The Eighties And Nineties, the second such volume of his work they've released
	8:14pm melinda: hi Geeze!
	8:15pm geezerette: Love Carl Stone.
	🥁 8:15pm chresti: I love carl stone too
	8:16pm Flash Strap: just getting into him myself, so excellent
	8:16pm northguineahills: Visible Cloak reminded me of Asa Chang.....
	8:18pm geezerette: He must be popular with choreographers. Gonna search that after show.
	8:19pm geezerette: 'mimimalism" is my favorite flavor.
	🥁 8:20pm chresti: He was a guest on Glossolalia, a show on KXLU, when he was in town a couple years ago, that I enjoyed
	8:23pm Flash Strap: that must have been really cool his approach to minimalist composition is really intriguing, I think
	🥁 8:23pm chresti: an introduction for me- I love electro acoustic music
	8:23pm Flash Strap: great name for a show, also
	8:24pm melinda: Nice synthies
	8:25pm geezerette: That's such a great station. I didn't know about that show! Bet they don't have archives.
	8:27pm Flash Strap: really interesting effect as it goes on of compositional disintegration, really makes you sit up and listen I think
	8:27pm geezerette: Agree!
	🥁 8:31pm chresti: Yes- Mondays 6pm to 8pm pst, from Loyola Marymount Professor Cantaloupe does sometimes archive performances
	8:33pm geezerette: Haven't listened for a long time, glad you mentioned! Used to listen to Reverend Dan on Fridays after Stray Pop.
	8:35pm melinda: This makes me think of whales.
	8:36pm geezerette: ...whales, :)
	8:39pm hyde: who doesn't love whales
	🥁 8:40pm chresti: I used to listen to Maki's show until I couldn't get the signal. Maki played experimental music that caught my fancy in the late 90s-2000s
	8:42pm Flash Strap: makes me think of whales too, undeniably so
	8:43pm Flash Strap: Garnet Toucan notes: "The final work in the "Romance Audio Trilogy"; The previous works being "Bamboo For Two" and "Make Mine, Macaw". The intention in these works lies in finding a symbolic, exotic, animal to unleash a psychoactive environment expression that leads one to an elaborate meeting with the natural world. "The Garnet Toucan" completes the trilogy by uncovering the symbolic animal’s transfiguration into the outerzone of infinite space. The Parrot or Toucan is thought of as a mediator between human and nature. The exotic environment is an unknown imagined nature, while the romantic vision's illusion is a disposition that can reveal the hidden side of the outer world as it lies within itself..."
	🥁 8:43pm chresti: that's where I first heard Solid Eye's" flag etiquette"
	8:45pm northguineahills: Never heard him as Monopoly Child Star Searchers stars either....
	🥁 8:46pm chresti: Wo wow (this I hear)
	8:48pm hyde: this is wild
	8:48pm melinda: I had a recent dream where I was on a boat during a night time whale watch, and a striped whale surfaced in an enclosed area of the boat.
	🥁 8:49pm chresti: Nice name for artist, monopoly child star searcher
	8:49pm Flash Strap: really weird music, this
	8:49pm melinda: It is.
	8:52pm hyde: yep
	8:52pm Flash Strap: that's a good dream, melinda i saw some dolphins recently, during a purple sunset. that was nice. I also saw some dolphins a month ago on the way to a prison island, and that was also nice. but when will I ever see a dorsal fin and have it turn out to be a shark, I wonder? never seems to happen
	🥁 8:53pm chresti: hypnagogic pop (never heard that term)
	8:54pm Flash Strap: all my dreams are about realizing I'm about to do a show but i'm in a room full of geese or something and I don't have anything planned and can't find anything I'm looking for
	8:56pm Flash Strap: hypnagogic: relating to the state immediately before falling asleep this is a very important creative window!
	8:57pm melinda: That's cool, I've never seen dolphins. I did see the tail of a whale from the ferry from Nova Scotia back to Maine. A cab driver who spent a lot of time on boats told me he once got close enough to a whale that the wind blew its blowhole exhalation onto his face. My first thought was 'did it stink?' but he said it felt sort of warm and moist and was one of those peak lifetime experiences.
	🥁 8:58pm chresti: my favorite state!
	8:58pm geezerette: More whales! From Mars!
	8:59pm melinda: @Flash that's funny. Demonstrates that putting on a radio show is a lot of work and responsibility.
	🥁 8:59pm chresti: I often dream about driving
	8:59pm Flash Strap: I've never once seen a whale. that sounds like seeing a god to me
	🥁 9:00pm chresti: flash if that happens, you can have the gaggle of geese on the show!
	9:00pm melinda: I have dreams about international travel where i get to the airport and realize I forgot my passport. But I don't really do international travel in real life, so it's weird.
	9:01pm Flash Strap: i think i've played this before but when i settled on Tanguy's "belomancy" as the top playlist image I realized i couldn't resist playing it again, I mean how many pieces of music have anything to do with the term?
	9:01pm melinda: I like this Sun Araw.
	9:01pm Flash Strap: @Chresti: sort of what happened a few weeks ago, to be honest
	9:02pm Flash Strap: @melinda: this whole album is pretty admirably adventurous, I think
	9:03pm geezerette: This is majestic.
	9:03pm Flash Strap: sometimes I think way too hard about these playlist images, but then again, why shouldn't I
	🥁 9:03pm chresti: I rarely remember my dreams lately. When I do, they're often about showing up late for work, or not wearing shoes to work, etc
	9:05pm Flash Strap: i have a lot of dreams, A LOT, where I'll find a cache of records in a category or style that I'd never even imagined, and as I'm scooping them up and putting them into piles I realize none of this is real, I'll never get to hear these, and then I wake up
	9:07pm Flash Strap: i also have a lot of dreams where I can fly, so it's not all bad in sleepy town
	9:07pm melinda: It's interesting how one can have the same theme in a dream over and over and not catch on that it isn't reality. The crumbling teeth theme gets me every time.
	🥁 9:08pm chresti: that's so weird (and, sometimes a relief)-to be dreaming and then telling yourself "it's only a dream"
	9:09pm geezerette: Evan, your show is definitely worth the work you put in. Nothing else like it. It feels like an actual place.
	9:09pm melinda: I have had some dreams where I have to go back to high school, and realize before I wake up that I did indeed graduate back in the 80s and it's ok to bail.
	🥁 9:10pm chresti: Yes! Think freely!
	9:10pm melinda: @geeze agree!
	9:10pm Flash Strap: thank you extremely kindly
	9:11pm geezerette: :)
	9:11pm Flash Strap: smilin' right back
	🥁 9:11pm chresti: Me too!
	9:12pm melinda: Every summer I think I should do something touristy in my own town, and thought a whale watching boat ride might be cool.
	🥁 9:12pm chresti: It really is like being in a "room" here!
	9:13pm geezerette: I often dream of paintings I haven't actually made. Then I have to make them.
	9:13pm Flash Strap: i kick myself that in all the years I spent in Boston, I never went on a whale watch. my wife grew up there and saw so many whales
	9:14pm Flash Strap: (speaking of both whales, and touristy stuff in your own town)
	9:14pm Flash Strap: @Chresti: I strive for this, thank you so much
	🥁 9:15pm chresti: I have many dreams of being in a large place, studio, warehouse, or party with many people
	9:15pm Flash Strap: there are 2 different versions of "Songs of Gold, Incandescent", hence the different years here. one has more tracks i guess
	9:16pm geezerette: This is great!
	🥁 9:16pm chresti: I've made paintings from dreams
	9:16pm Flash Strap: Dolphins into the Future aka Lieven Martens Moana is great. The LP ...On Sea Faring Isolation is a classic, I think
	9:17pm Flash Strap: @chresti: me too, it's a very good method, I say
	🥁 9:19pm chresti: Agree
	9:19pm geezerette: So this really is an explorers club!
	9:20pm geezerette: Love the laugh.
	9:20pm Flash Strap: absolutely it is
	9:20pm Flash Strap: me too! it's a funny track
	🥁 9:21pm chresti: always something new
	9:21pm Flash Strap: strange to imagine Liebezeit bringing his godlike hammers to such a silly track
	🥁 9:22pm chresti: he seems to be all over the place
	🥁 9:22pm chresti: my kind of guy
	9:23pm Flash Strap: truly. so much session work... sometimes he disappears into whatever the job requires, sometimes you sit up and think – that's Liebezeit!
	🥁 9:23pm chresti: this is a parody? it's great either way
	9:23pm geezerette: So great.
	9:24pm Flash Strap: not sure, it's an unusual record all around
	9:26pm Flash Strap: nice cover: img.discogs.com...
	🥁 9:26pm chresti: I guess you could say that about a lot of percussionists -in high demand
	🥁 9:27pm chresti: that is nice
	9:29pm Flash Strap: i have a real soft spot for any of these oddball krautrock-adjacent projects
	9:32pm Flash Strap: i also have a real soft spot for any concept album that centers something like a sunfish. not enough of that if you ask me
	9:34pm Flash Strap: i was going to be more judicious about what parts of this to play but I think I'm just going to let it run. I love this record
	9:37pm hyde: ooh this is really good
	9:37pm Flash Strap: big agree
	9:37pm ?: Cheers Flash, you have inspired me to head out the door and visit the Sydney Aquarium this afternoon (but not until the show has finished).
	9:38pm Flash Strap: what a splendid idea, please take me with you
	9:39pm zonk ludlow: In spirit & the playlist that will accompany me.
	9:39pm Flash Strap: when I was in Bali, or rather Nusa Penida, years ago, I had hoped to see sunfish, but alas i did not
	9:40pm Flash Strap: they're so big
	9:40pm zonk ludlow: They are beautiful creatures.
	9:41pm Flash Strap: hi zonk, I figured that question mark was you!
	9:42pm zonk ludlow: So lost in the show I forgot who I was for bit.
	🥁 9:43pm chresti: /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_sunfish
	🥁 9:46pm chresti: noooooo!
	9:46pm hyde: aww, no cool blue flame. ah well.
	9:47pm northguineahills: Been here the last 30 minutes, but have been taking care of chores...
	🥁 9:48pm chresti: sunfish are BIG!
	9:48pm hyde: thanks!
	🥁 9:49pm chresti: Thanks Flash!
	9:50pm geezerette: Howdy, Hyde! (Meant to say hello earlier).
	🥁 9:50pm chresti: hi hyde!
	9:51pm hyde: hiya geez!
	9:51pm geezerette: Thanks, Evan!
	9:54pm geezerette: Good to see you,Hyde! :D
	9:55pm Flash Strap: my pleasure all! thank you , thank you for listening and sharing this room with me
	9:57pm northguineahills: MJ Mallo, new to me!
	9:58pm Flash Strap: oh that's a cool record, NGH! check it out, very weird
	9:58pm melinda: Great show Flash!
	9:58pm Flash Strap: thanks Melinda!
	9:59pm melinda: I think I need to see Day of the Dolphin.
	10:00pm Flash Strap: whoa, me too!
	10:01pm Flash Strap: "unwittingly, he trained a dolphin to kill the president of the united states" directed by Mike Nichols! i know nothing of this till now
	🥁 10:01pm chresti: never saw it
	🥁 10:02pm chresti: I think I must see it at once
	10:02pm Flash Strap: sounds bizarre
	10:03pm melinda: I've known of it as a weird George C. Scott vehicle but never investigated.
	10:03pm Flash Strap: ok, i'm off, goodnight explorers
	10:04pm melinda: The Manchurian Dolphin!

Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from July 12, 2018

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.

	7:02pm listener james from westwood: Evening, all!!
	7:03pm Flash Strap: Listener James! welcome, welcome, wonderful to have you
	7:03pm Flash Strap: this album is incredible
	7:04pm northguineahills: I saw someone wearing a pith helmet walking down the sidewalk yesterday, and thought, "nice look!".
	7:05pm βrian: @NGH: Was it Sir Elemental?
	7:05pm Flash Strap: NGH, splendid! I have never successfully worn a pith helmet and felt even slightly ok, tbh
	7:06pm βrian: @Flash: I expect it requires a blazing hot sun overhead. That changes one's perspective in a hurry.
	7:07pm Flash Strap: yeah, totally. I've never worn a pith helmet in its intended weather conditions
	🥁 7:07pm chresti: would an overturned metal bowl work?
	7:08pm Flash Strap: yes but colander is better
	7:09pm Flash Strap: this of course is best: m.media-amazon.com...
	7:09pm βrian: @Flash: If (IF!) you have hair.
	7:10pm Flash Strap: indeed true
	🥁 7:11pm chresti: she looks so relaxed
	7:11pm Flash Strap: she is marlon brando
	🥁 7:12pm chresti: that's me when I have to go outside
	7:12pm βrian: @chresti: Aye, but soon rigor mortis will set in ...
	7:12pm Flash Strap: in that same movie, he also wears sort of a turban with an ice bucket wrapped into it, it's luxurious as hell
	7:13pm βrian: He also makes a request for butter, as I recall.
	7:13pm northguineahills: @βrian: If he was British, it may well have been...sharp looking chap....
	🥁 7:14pm chresti: what movie is that?
	7:14pm Flash Strap: he's really good in that flick, for my money. Dr. Moreau
	7:15pm Flash Strap: it is itself not very good, but it has good/insane elements
	🥁 7:15pm chresti: ah! have not seen that
	7:17pm βrian: Maria Schneider, we miss you.
	7:17pm northguineahills: I was a my local dive, and the young bartendress just discovered Sir Elementa and put him on. I had to explain chap-hop to her.....
	7:17pm Flash Strap: not as good an adaptation of Island of Lost Souls but very weird. the book is crucially excellent, as a sidenote. everyone should read it
	7:19pm hyde: hi
	7:19pm Flash Strap: hi pal, great to see you
	7:20pm βrian: "bartendress?" Oh my. You get a hundred points of extra credit for that. I've never heard the term!
	7:20pm geezerette: Hello,Evan and divers!
	7:20pm βrian: En français, of course: Bar Tendresse.
	7:21pm Flash Strap: hi Geeze! welcome friend
	🥁 7:22pm chresti: hi again!
	🥁 7:24pm chresti: Bar mistress
	7:24pm northguineahills: βrian: I purloined my lexicon from a heist at the Charles Montgomery Burns manor.
	7:29pm Flash Strap: extremely good new music here
	🥁 7:30pm chresti: yes
	7:32pm Flash Strap: i keep reading reviews of this that sort of act like Kate NV's sound is this unprecedented thing, and getting annoyed because it's an extremely good iteration of a sound with ample precedent but mostly i'm pleased it's getting good reviews, because it's super good
	7:34pm northguineahills: Here you go Evan! Ухо=Uho Для=Dlja (I barely know cyrillic, and know only a few words in russian)
	7:34pm βrian: It reminds me of Kinda-Françoise Sagan: "Bonjour BarTendresse."
	🥁 7:34pm chresti: you can get a bedspread with Ernst Haeckel art on it!
	7:37pm Flash Strap: yeah his stuff must be public domain because I see a lot of stuff like that online
	7:37pm Flash Strap: truly one of the greatest artists of his or any generation
	🥁 7:39pm chresti: draves.org/pix/kdn/
	7:40pm Flash Strap: whoa
	7:43pm Flash Strap: that's really cool
	7:43pm geezerette: Evan@7:32: Totally agree, on both points. Her music reminds me of swimming in perfectly clear water off Nassau one childhood summer. Like floating / flying.
	🥁 7:43pm chresti: I bet I've seen a haeckel poster on a wall somewhere before
	7:46pm Flash Strap: @G: it was strange to discover that her inspiration was the city of Moscow, because it really puts me in an aquatic / floating in a petri dish state of mind. I like that unexpected element of it a lot though I'll say it again though, wow what a good new record
	🥁 7:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Aloha
	7:47pm Flash Strap: really dig the compositional sparseness of this new Sun Araw, I like him in this mode, it's psychedelic but with big open areas
	7:48pm Flash Strap: aloha Rabbit!
	7:50pm geezerette: Chresti,great share! Howdy, revrab!
	7:53pm Flash Strap: Typhonian Highlife = Spencer Clark = Monopoly Child Star Searchers I like this release best of anything I've heard him do
	🥁 7:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Quite an Environment. Do you suppose Drug Music now means DMT or something ??...
	🥁 7:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...not that the 13thFloorElevators weren't singing about it in 1966...)
	7:55pm Flash Strap: ha maybe so, actually. never done DMT tho so hard to say
	🥁 7:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's only hearsay to me too - but I hear Terrence McKenna say an awful lot about it...Super otherworld visionary thing w/ Entities...
	7:57pm northguineahills: Typhonian Highlife, new to me!
	7:58pm northguineahills: I had a friend that got a hold of some DMT a two years ago, but I was busy w/ what led to moving madness I never got try any.
	7:59pm Flash Strap: his notes on the album are very in line with early Castaneda, in a way. though it's hard to tell what exactly they're tripping on in Don Juan, at times. Mescaline / Peyote / Ayahuasca?
	8:01pm Flash Strap: this album is a real brain melter
	8:01pm βrian: Thanks, Flash. I have to back out and serve dinner to my habib'ti.
	8:02pm Flash Strap: @NGH: I guess previous Typhonian Highlife releases have been mostly pretty Hellraiser / Cenobyte themed, of all things, so this one's pretty unique
	8:03pm northguineahills: Corbusier Design, does the album cover have a corbusier on it?
	8:03pm melinda: hi explorers!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: nope: img.discogs.com...
	🥁 8:04pm chresti: Hi
	8:04pm Flash Strap: ah Melinda! hello!
	8:05pm Flash Strap: the blog I got this from described it as sounding like she was "speaking in fractals" and I liked that mental approach
	8:06pm geezerette: Weird, but I'm reminded of Pygmy singing, which is also otherworldly and very beautiful.
	8:07pm geezerette: Hey, Melinda!
	8:14pm Flash Strap: This Carl Stone track can also be found on the very good compilation from Unseen Worlds, Electronic Music From The Eighties And Nineties, the second such volume of his work they've released
	8:14pm melinda: hi Geeze!
	8:15pm geezerette: Love Carl Stone.
	🥁 8:15pm chresti: I love carl stone too
	8:16pm Flash Strap: just getting into him myself, so excellent
	8:16pm northguineahills: Visible Cloak reminded me of Asa Chang.....
	8:18pm geezerette: He must be popular with choreographers. Gonna search that after show.
	8:19pm geezerette: 'mimimalism" is my favorite flavor.
	🥁 8:20pm chresti: He was a guest on Glossolalia, a show on KXLU, when he was in town a couple years ago, that I enjoyed
	8:23pm Flash Strap: that must have been really cool his approach to minimalist composition is really intriguing, I think
	🥁 8:23pm chresti: an introduction for me- I love electro acoustic music
	8:23pm Flash Strap: great name for a show, also
	8:24pm melinda: Nice synthies
	8:25pm geezerette: That's such a great station. I didn't know about that show! Bet they don't have archives.
	8:27pm Flash Strap: really interesting effect as it goes on of compositional disintegration, really makes you sit up and listen I think
	8:27pm geezerette: Agree!
	🥁 8:31pm chresti: Yes- Mondays 6pm to 8pm pst, from Loyola Marymount Professor Cantaloupe does sometimes archive performances
	8:33pm geezerette: Haven't listened for a long time, glad you mentioned! Used to listen to Reverend Dan on Fridays after Stray Pop.
	8:35pm melinda: This makes me think of whales.
	8:36pm geezerette: ...whales, :)
	8:39pm hyde: who doesn't love whales
	🥁 8:40pm chresti: I used to listen to Maki's show until I couldn't get the signal. Maki played experimental music that caught my fancy in the late 90s-2000s
	8:42pm Flash Strap: makes me think of whales too, undeniably so
	8:43pm Flash Strap: Garnet Toucan notes: "The final work in the "Romance Audio Trilogy"; The previous works being "Bamboo For Two" and "Make Mine, Macaw". The intention in these works lies in finding a symbolic, exotic, animal to unleash a psychoactive environment expression that leads one to an elaborate meeting with the natural world. "The Garnet Toucan" completes the trilogy by uncovering the symbolic animal’s transfiguration into the outerzone of infinite space. The Parrot or Toucan is thought of as a mediator between human and nature. The exotic environment is an unknown imagined nature, while the romantic vision's illusion is a disposition that can reveal the hidden side of the outer world as it lies within itself..."
	🥁 8:43pm chresti: that's where I first heard Solid Eye's" flag etiquette"
	8:45pm northguineahills: Never heard him as Monopoly Child Star Searchers stars either....
	🥁 8:46pm chresti: Wo wow (this I hear)
	8:48pm hyde: this is wild
	8:48pm melinda: I had a recent dream where I was on a boat during a night time whale watch, and a striped whale surfaced in an enclosed area of the boat.
	🥁 8:49pm chresti: Nice name for artist, monopoly child star searcher
	8:49pm Flash Strap: really weird music, this
	8:49pm melinda: It is.
	8:52pm hyde: yep
	8:52pm Flash Strap: that's a good dream, melinda i saw some dolphins recently, during a purple sunset. that was nice. I also saw some dolphins a month ago on the way to a prison island, and that was also nice. but when will I ever see a dorsal fin and have it turn out to be a shark, I wonder? never seems to happen
	🥁 8:53pm chresti: hypnagogic pop (never heard that term)
	8:54pm Flash Strap: all my dreams are about realizing I'm about to do a show but i'm in a room full of geese or something and I don't have anything planned and can't find anything I'm looking for
	8:56pm Flash Strap: hypnagogic: relating to the state immediately before falling asleep this is a very important creative window!
	8:57pm melinda: That's cool, I've never seen dolphins. I did see the tail of a whale from the ferry from Nova Scotia back to Maine. A cab driver who spent a lot of time on boats told me he once got close enough to a whale that the wind blew its blowhole exhalation onto his face. My first thought was 'did it stink?' but he said it felt sort of warm and moist and was one of those peak lifetime experiences.
	🥁 8:58pm chresti: my favorite state!
	8:58pm geezerette: More whales! From Mars!
	8:59pm melinda: @Flash that's funny. Demonstrates that putting on a radio show is a lot of work and responsibility.
	🥁 8:59pm chresti: I often dream about driving
	8:59pm Flash Strap: I've never once seen a whale. that sounds like seeing a god to me
	🥁 9:00pm chresti: flash if that happens, you can have the gaggle of geese on the show!
	9:00pm melinda: I have dreams about international travel where i get to the airport and realize I forgot my passport. But I don't really do international travel in real life, so it's weird.
	9:01pm Flash Strap: i think i've played this before but when i settled on Tanguy's "belomancy" as the top playlist image I realized i couldn't resist playing it again, I mean how many pieces of music have anything to do with the term?
	9:01pm melinda: I like this Sun Araw.
	9:01pm Flash Strap: @Chresti: sort of what happened a few weeks ago, to be honest
	9:02pm Flash Strap: @melinda: this whole album is pretty admirably adventurous, I think
	9:03pm geezerette: This is majestic.
	9:03pm Flash Strap: sometimes I think way too hard about these playlist images, but then again, why shouldn't I
	🥁 9:03pm chresti: I rarely remember my dreams lately. When I do, they're often about showing up late for work, or not wearing shoes to work, etc
	9:05pm Flash Strap: i have a lot of dreams, A LOT, where I'll find a cache of records in a category or style that I'd never even imagined, and as I'm scooping them up and putting them into piles I realize none of this is real, I'll never get to hear these, and then I wake up
	9:07pm Flash Strap: i also have a lot of dreams where I can fly, so it's not all bad in sleepy town
	9:07pm melinda: It's interesting how one can have the same theme in a dream over and over and not catch on that it isn't reality. The crumbling teeth theme gets me every time.
	🥁 9:08pm chresti: that's so weird (and, sometimes a relief)-to be dreaming and then telling yourself "it's only a dream"
	9:09pm geezerette: Evan, your show is definitely worth the work you put in. Nothing else like it. It feels like an actual place.
	9:09pm melinda: I have had some dreams where I have to go back to high school, and realize before I wake up that I did indeed graduate back in the 80s and it's ok to bail.
	🥁 9:10pm chresti: Yes! Think freely!
	9:10pm melinda: @geeze agree!
	9:10pm Flash Strap: thank you extremely kindly
	9:11pm geezerette: :)
	9:11pm Flash Strap: smilin' right back
	🥁 9:11pm chresti: Me too!
	9:12pm melinda: Every summer I think I should do something touristy in my own town, and thought a whale watching boat ride might be cool.
	🥁 9:12pm chresti: It really is like being in a "room" here!
	9:13pm geezerette: I often dream of paintings I haven't actually made. Then I have to make them.
	9:13pm Flash Strap: i kick myself that in all the years I spent in Boston, I never went on a whale watch. my wife grew up there and saw so many whales
	9:14pm Flash Strap: (speaking of both whales, and touristy stuff in your own town)
	9:14pm Flash Strap: @Chresti: I strive for this, thank you so much
	🥁 9:15pm chresti: I have many dreams of being in a large place, studio, warehouse, or party with many people
	9:15pm Flash Strap: there are 2 different versions of "Songs of Gold, Incandescent", hence the different years here. one has more tracks i guess
	9:16pm geezerette: This is great!
	🥁 9:16pm chresti: I've made paintings from dreams
	9:16pm Flash Strap: Dolphins into the Future aka Lieven Martens Moana is great. The LP ...On Sea Faring Isolation is a classic, I think
	9:17pm Flash Strap: @chresti: me too, it's a very good method, I say
	🥁 9:19pm chresti: Agree
	9:19pm geezerette: So this really is an explorers club!
	9:20pm geezerette: Love the laugh.
	9:20pm Flash Strap: absolutely it is
	9:20pm Flash Strap: me too! it's a funny track
	🥁 9:21pm chresti: always something new
	9:21pm Flash Strap: strange to imagine Liebezeit bringing his godlike hammers to such a silly track
	🥁 9:22pm chresti: he seems to be all over the place
	🥁 9:22pm chresti: my kind of guy
	9:23pm Flash Strap: truly. so much session work... sometimes he disappears into whatever the job requires, sometimes you sit up and think – that's Liebezeit!
	🥁 9:23pm chresti: this is a parody? it's great either way
	9:23pm geezerette: So great.
	9:24pm Flash Strap: not sure, it's an unusual record all around
	9:26pm Flash Strap: nice cover: img.discogs.com...
	🥁 9:26pm chresti: I guess you could say that about a lot of percussionists -in high demand
	🥁 9:27pm chresti: that is nice
	9:29pm Flash Strap: i have a real soft spot for any of these oddball krautrock-adjacent projects
	9:32pm Flash Strap: i also have a real soft spot for any concept album that centers something like a sunfish. not enough of that if you ask me
	9:34pm Flash Strap: i was going to be more judicious about what parts of this to play but I think I'm just going to let it run. I love this record
	9:37pm hyde: ooh this is really good
	9:37pm Flash Strap: big agree
	9:37pm ?: Cheers Flash, you have inspired me to head out the door and visit the Sydney Aquarium this afternoon (but not until the show has finished).
	9:38pm Flash Strap: what a splendid idea, please take me with you
	9:39pm zonk ludlow: In spirit & the playlist that will accompany me.
	9:39pm Flash Strap: when I was in Bali, or rather Nusa Penida, years ago, I had hoped to see sunfish, but alas i did not
	9:40pm Flash Strap: they're so big
	9:40pm zonk ludlow: They are beautiful creatures.
	9:41pm Flash Strap: hi zonk, I figured that question mark was you!
	9:42pm zonk ludlow: So lost in the show I forgot who I was for bit.
	🥁 9:43pm chresti: /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_sunfish
	🥁 9:46pm chresti: noooooo!
	9:46pm hyde: aww, no cool blue flame. ah well.
	9:47pm northguineahills: Been here the last 30 minutes, but have been taking care of chores...
	🥁 9:48pm chresti: sunfish are BIG!
	9:48pm hyde: thanks!
	🥁 9:49pm chresti: Thanks Flash!
	9:50pm geezerette: Howdy, Hyde! (Meant to say hello earlier).
	🥁 9:50pm chresti: hi hyde!
	9:51pm hyde: hiya geez!
	9:51pm geezerette: Thanks, Evan!
	9:54pm geezerette: Good to see you,Hyde! :D
	9:55pm Flash Strap: my pleasure all! thank you , thank you for listening and sharing this room with me
	9:57pm northguineahills: MJ Mallo, new to me!
	9:58pm Flash Strap: oh that's a cool record, NGH! check it out, very weird
	9:58pm melinda: Great show Flash!
	9:58pm Flash Strap: thanks Melinda!
	9:59pm melinda: I think I need to see Day of the Dolphin.
	10:00pm Flash Strap: whoa, me too!
	10:01pm Flash Strap: "unwittingly, he trained a dolphin to kill the president of the united states" directed by Mike Nichols! i know nothing of this till now
	🥁 10:01pm chresti: never saw it
	🥁 10:02pm chresti: I think I must see it at once
	10:02pm Flash Strap: sounds bizarre
	10:03pm melinda: I've known of it as a weird George C. Scott vehicle but never investigated.
	10:03pm Flash Strap: ok, i'm off, goodnight explorers
	10:04pm melinda: The Manchurian Dolphin!
