Listener comments!
	6:55pm Flash Strap: Hello Explorers!
	6:59pm chresti: Hello Flash and fellow explorers!
	7:01pm Flash Strap: Hello Chresti!
	🥁 7:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Didn't learn gittar from only the yARdbiRdS...
	7:04pm Flash Strap: This record's "bad" cover, which the band hated, is so much better than its replacement: img.discogs.com...
	7:05pm Flash Strap: Hi Rev Rab!
	7:08pm Flash Strap: Usually with Clark-Hutchinson I just have to stick to A=MH2 which is all brooding instrumentals, but this one from Retribution is so apocalyptic, it's almost a Birthday Party song
	🥁 7:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wow. Right?!
	7:10pm Flash Strap: face melting ode to nothingness
	🥁 7:14pm chresti: I think my face is melting
	7:14pm Flash Strap: Bud Shank and Gerry Mulligan on saxophones, recorded in Grace Cathedral San Francisco
	7:16pm passiflora: :)
	🥁 7:23pm chresti: Layla might run after hearing this!
	7:24pm Flash Strap: Hi Hi Passiflora!
	🥁 7:24pm chresti: *Leiyla
	7:24pm Flash Strap: Layla should run, and not look back
	7:24pm Franco Twinkie: My introduction to Beaver and Krause as a teenager was Pacific Vibrations, a psychedelic surfing movie from 1970. Great optical effects that look pretty cheap now, but back then, WOW!
	7:25pm Flash Strap: ah now I get ya chresti – but i liked the idea of Leiyla chasing Layla off
	🥁 7:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Put in mind a little of Morgen...
	7:26pm Flash Strap: Hi Franco! I would like to watch that, I think
	7:27pm Flash Strap: I've never heard that Morgen LP, Rev Rab
	7:28pm Flash Strap: This track alone justifies everything that's silly about The Strawberry Alarm Clock (as if beyond the Valley of the Dolls didn't already take care of that)
	7:30pm Flash Strap: Pacific Vibrations is on youtube, I can't wait to give it a gander
	7:30pm Franco Twinkie: In 1966 they would play the WCPAEB version of Help I'm A Rock on KHJ in L.A. I would walk around in the back yard with my transistor radio glued to my ear, wondering what a Freak Out was.
	7:30pm Flash Strap: vibraphone & psych workouts, good together
	7:31pm Flash Strap: i love that version, Franco
	7:32pm Flash Strap: "the price we pay to live this life of fire"
	🥁 7:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's a fave : www.youtube.com...
	7:34pm Flash Strap: gonna dig it for sure rev
	7:34pm Flash Strap: the troggs have such a great sound, always. i feel they're very underrated these days
	🥁 7:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yas ! ...One thing: Original Artist...NOT Original Recording...the fine print taketh away...
	🥁 7:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & this - perfect L.A. Psych. Carole King demo is killer too...
	7:38pm Flash Strap: currently obsessed with the satanic tinge in the vocal
	7:38pm Franco Twinkie: On the CD, Celebrities At Their Worst, I think, there is a recording of The Troggs having a fight in their dressing room. Good in a Mad magazine kind of way.
	7:39pm Flash Strap: that was Beaver (& Dolenz) on moog there, btw
	🥁 7:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - the Troggs thing - infamous.
	7:40pm Flash Strap: @rev: you saying that Troggs cut was a rerecording?
	🥁 7:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No - but there are such people stumble on discounted...
	7:41pm Flash Strap: yeah for sure
	🥁 7:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yerknow - people saying 'WildThing' is all there is. & it ain't even nearly their best...
	7:42pm Flash Strap: Fifty Foot Hose was such a revelation when i first heard them, almost at the Annette Peacock level
	7:43pm Flash Strap: yeah they have so much more to offer than Wild Thing, which has become at this point almost a novelty song totally amputated from the body
	7:43pm Franco Twinkie: Fifty Foot Hose? How about Serpent Power?
	🥁 7:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'United States of America'...'Ultimate Spinach'...not quite Garage, weirder than just Psych...electronics, metal looming...inbetween good & bad trips - weird trips...
	7:45pm Flash Strap: very similar to USA, I agree – Spinach really only has one song i like but it's very much in the vein as well
	7:46pm Flash Strap: avant garde / psychedelic music is extremely vital
	7:46pm Flash Strap: I've never heard either Serpent Power LP, Franco - you recommend?
	7:48pm Flash Strap: in fact a closer embrace of avant garde elements and thought would have led to a much more rich, more actually psychedelic, psychedelic movement. i cherish that which there is
	7:50pm Franco Twinkie: Been a couple of suburban psych snobs, when we found the first Ultimate Spinach record in a cut out bin, my sister and I laughed so hard, I threw it onto the roof of our house where it stayed for several years. How I wish I had never done that.
	7:50pm Flash Strap: haha whoops, it's probably worth some real coin too
	7:51pm Flash Strap: shades of White Noise too, of course
	7:52pm Franco Twinkie: Flash, I only have the first one, and Yes, if you can find it.
	7:53pm Flash Strap: downloading it now, actually. morgen too
	7:54pm Franco Twinkie: Cut to the chase - Endless Tunnel and Stoned Again.
	7:55pm Flash Strap: this is going to be an extra long set by the way, settling in for a trip
	7:55pm Little Danny: Hey good people
	7:56pm Flash Strap: hey LD!
	7:57pm Little Danny: Cool, I was considering some United States of America for later on...
	🥁 7:57pm chresti: Hey, put this in the Bo Diddly box
	7:58pm Flash Strap: @LD: ah, perfect! i played them a bit on my last heavy psych / LSD set so i left em off for tonight but it was a temptation
	7:58pm Flash Strap: @chresti: exactly
	8:00pm Flash Strap: such a perfect song from the young Turtles
	8:01pm Little Danny: Flash, do you know Madrigal's 1971 self-titled LP? Hella rare, but good for psych with electronic and/or avant leanings. It's also really, really good
	8:02pm Flash Strap: this whole LP is excellent
	8:02pm melinda: hi friends
	8:03pm Flash Strap: Yeah, that's a great one, I played some stuff from it on the aforementioned LSD show
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda!
	8:04pm Little Danny: Now looking at that playlist. Of course you did!
	8:05pm Flash Strap: @LD again: that Madrigal has some really cool sort of primitive theremin as i recall? i confess i need to spend more time with it
	8:05pm Franco Twinkie: My social studies teacher in the 10th grade went to school with Mark and Howard. He said in junior high, Howard sang a really stupid song at an assembly, and kids threw their lunch at him.
	8:05pm Little Danny: Yessir on the theremin. Mostly there as a noise-making device
	8:06pm Flash Strap: i love how the theremin sounds run through a noisy guitar amp like they do, a friend of mine used to do that and i loved it
	8:06pm Little Danny: Franco, smack in the center of every West Coast rock Venn diagram
	8:07pm Flash Strap: so true
	8:08pm doctorjazz: Hey Explorers!
	8:09pm Flash Strap: hey Doc!
	8:10pm Franco Twinkie: Not true Danny, but this shit was like smog in Southern California, absoulutely everywhere.
	8:12pm yellowbird: This track is sensational. thanks for sharing it.
	8:12pm Flash Strap: this record is clumsy, heavy handed, and totally unfocused, and for the most part I think it's fantastically effective
	8:13pm Flash Strap: hi yellowbird!
	🥁 8:15pm chresti: It makes me think of fractured flickers
	8:16pm Flash Strap: haha getting totally distracted while ruining a bad joke with overanalysis is such an insane musical idea
	8:21pm melinda: I'm really enjoying the Marshall McLuhan.
	8:22pm Flash Strap: one day I'll play side B, it's really good as well. such a wild project
	8:23pm Flash Strap: the Turtles are brutal
	8:23pm Flash Strap: (Crossfires = early Turtles)
	8:25pm Flash Strap: very Fugs-like, this Deviants, at times
	8:27pm Flash Strap: more for the bo diddley box
	8:30pm Flash Strap: Deviants eviscerating the scene
	8:33pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, Flash, I give up. I was preparing to see my accountant. The kitchen table is a foot deep in paper and I'm so swamped, but I just want to trip out, man!
	8:33pm Flash Strap: haha i feel ya man
	8:35pm Doug Schulkind: Salutations, beloved brother Flash Strap!
	8:35pm Flash Strap: i have the softest possible spot for Cricklewood Green
	8:35pm Flash Strap: Brother Doug! hello my friend
	8:36pm Franco Twinkie: Let's set the bummer dial to 10!
	8:37pm Flash Strap: hell yes let's get insanely bummed
	8:37pm Doug Schulkind: Give the Drummer Some will be off tomorrow morning. David Dichelle will be subbing, live from Leipzig, Germany, with Continental Subway.
	8:38pm Franco Twinkie: Angel dust and pop tarts.
	8:38pm Flash Strap: noted, will make mention
	8:42pm Flash Strap: this album is so massive
	8:43pm quinn: i like this
	8:43pm Flash Strap: hi Quinn!
	🥁 8:45pm chresti: like the instrumentals
	8:46pm passiflora: me too @chresti
	🥁 8:46pm chresti: I see what you mean by moody
	8:47pm Flash Strap: every thing on this album is played by either Clark or Hutchinson – the sax in particular very lovely deep tones
	9:04pm passiflora: this is probably my favorite too
	9:05pm quinn: i think this is the first scott walker song i ever heard
	9:06pm passiflora: me too. then i started playing 'farmer in the city' in high school at a friends' apartment and I think I crossed a line
	9:08pm Flash Strap: love that song too passiflora
	9:09pm Flash Strap: not the most high school hangout song though
	9:09pm Flash Strap: i just adore this very technical vocal, he's so perfect and precise
	9:11pm Franco Twinkie: As I often wonder about the age the DJ's on WFMU, and what their personal experience with the music they play was/is. You gave me a clue when your said ...from my childhood, Crinlkewood Green... The first time I saw that ablum, it was brought into class by this stoner named Oscar. The same class that the teacher told me about going to school with Mark and Howard. I was fifteen, so that makes you...
	9:13pm Flash Strap: the first time I heard that album it was on a cassette from a thrift store, and i listened to it in my dad's Isuzu
	9:13pm Little Danny: I wonder the same thing, too, Franco. About WFMU DJs, and all diehard music nuts in general
	9:14pm Franco Twinkie: A cassette!?! My lord!!
	9:15pm Flash Strap: i am the second youngest drummerstreamer as far as i know, or thereabouts
	9:15pm Flash Strap: it was not a new cassette, i reiterate
	9:17pm Flash Strap: i love this track because he's so consciously imitating Jacques Brel's writing, and achieves something unique and amazing (imo)
	9:17pm quinn: i threw a friend's hackey sack out of her mom's isuzu trooper while we were in the backseat and i still feel guilty about it
	9:18pm Flash Strap: maybe my favorite track from the Tilt / Drift Bish Bosch trilogy. feat. the rare Tubax (tuba-sax)
	9:19pm Flash Strap: haha quinn yes, i can relate
	9:20pm passiflora: I remember somehow losing a soccer ball out of a school bus window, and thinking about it every time we passed that spot
	9:23pm Flash Strap: hope i didn't lose yr trust there franco
	9:24pm Flash Strap: just the other day i guiltily remembered about pogs, and what a fake game it was
	9:26pm passiflora: I always tried to think of Hawaii, but I think that devolved pretty quickly. Good call, this song has both of those things, Hawaii and slammers XD
	9:26pm Franco Twinkie: No, You get in the game when you get in the game. No crime in being young.
	9:29pm Flash Strap: haha of course my brother
	9:30pm Flash Strap: not a great album, but what a track! really sticks in your throat
	9:32pm Flash Strap: one of the most unusual examples of scatting on this track
	9:33pm Doug Schulkind: Tomorrow on Hinky Dinky Time, Uncle Michael will be presenting a Scott Walker performance from 1959 that was never released and has remained essentially unheard for 60 years. A world premiere spin, tomorrow on the Drummer Stream!
	9:34pm melinda: I was thinking recently about the hackey sack phenomenon and how funny people looked, from a distance, when playing with them.
	9:34pm Flash Strap: damn
	9:35pm passiflora: baggy
	9:36pm Flash Strap: i gotta hear that
	9:36pm TDK60: Hello, so late.
	9:37pm Franco Twinkie: It's been a total Scott fest on various streams since that fateful day. I'm hearing so much stuff for the first time. Such a strange, strange perspective he had.
	9:38pm Flash Strap: Hi TDK!
	9:39pm passiflora: :eyes:
	9:39pm TDK60: Don't know if it was discussed above but on Tue. eve, on the "Morricone Island" soundtrack show, he played a lot of S. Walker movie music.
	9:40pm Flash Strap: truly a singular perspective, yeah. it's so strange hearing intimations of the mythic "later" work - so alien and "different" - in works as early as Orpheus. It was always there in that boy, it has always been emerging from him, taking stranger andstranger forms
	9:40pm Doug Schulkind: Uncle Michael will be spinning wall-to-wall Walker for all three hours tomorrow.
	9:41pm Flash Strap: holy shit, how can we help it? we have to have our Scott shows
	9:44pm Flash Strap: every time you try to research a Scott Walker song, you end up looking at a grainy black and white photograph of a historical corpse
	9:44pm Doug Schulkind: Indulge and wallow. It is who we are. It is what we do.
	9:44pm Flash Strap: and i always think, i'm so glad someone is making music about this
	9:47pm Franco Twinkie: Yesterday I saw Richard Carpenter on the BBC doing an instramental version of The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore on the grand piano.
	9:48pm Quinn: I love this one
	9:50pm chresti: Thanks Flash!
	9:50pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Flash. Just enough time to make some coffee and take out the trash before Little Danny.
	9:50pm chresti: Historical corpse
	9:52pm Little Danny: Thanks Evan!!!
	9:52pm Little Danny: Lightning can strike twice: wfmu.org... Hope to see y'all there!
	9:54pm chresti: With Scott Walker tributes-there’s such a vast catalog, you can always find something rarely heard
	9:56pm TDK60: Thanks DJ Flash.
	9:56pm passiflora: lovely time, as always
	9:57pm Flash Strap: Thanks all, much love

	8:05pm Flash Strap: @LD again: that Madrigal has some really cool sort of primitive theremin as i recall? i confess i need to spend more time with it
	8:05pm Franco Twinkie: My social studies teacher in the 10th grade went to school with Mark and Howard. He said in junior high, Howard sang a really stupid song at an assembly, and kids threw their lunch at him.
	8:05pm Little Danny: Yessir on the theremin. Mostly there as a noise-making device
	8:06pm Flash Strap: i love how the theremin sounds run through a noisy guitar amp like they do, a friend of mine used to do that and i loved it
	8:06pm Little Danny: Franco, smack in the center of every West Coast rock Venn diagram
	8:07pm Flash Strap: so true
	8:08pm doctorjazz: Hey Explorers!
	8:09pm Flash Strap: hey Doc!
	8:10pm Franco Twinkie: Not true Danny, but this shit was like smog in Southern California, absoulutely everywhere.
	8:12pm yellowbird: This track is sensational. thanks for sharing it.
	8:12pm Flash Strap: this record is clumsy, heavy handed, and totally unfocused, and for the most part I think it's fantastically effective
	8:13pm Flash Strap: hi yellowbird!
	🥁 8:15pm chresti: It makes me think of fractured flickers
	8:16pm Flash Strap: haha getting totally distracted while ruining a bad joke with overanalysis is such an insane musical idea
	8:21pm melinda: I'm really enjoying the Marshall McLuhan.
	8:22pm Flash Strap: one day I'll play side B, it's really good as well. such a wild project
	8:23pm Flash Strap: the Turtles are brutal
	8:23pm Flash Strap: (Crossfires = early Turtles)
	8:25pm Flash Strap: very Fugs-like, this Deviants, at times
	8:27pm Flash Strap: more for the bo diddley box
	8:30pm Flash Strap: Deviants eviscerating the scene
	8:33pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, Flash, I give up. I was preparing to see my accountant. The kitchen table is a foot deep in paper and I'm so swamped, but I just want to trip out, man!
	8:33pm Flash Strap: haha i feel ya man
	8:35pm Doug Schulkind: Salutations, beloved brother Flash Strap!
	8:35pm Flash Strap: i have the softest possible spot for Cricklewood Green
	8:35pm Flash Strap: Brother Doug! hello my friend
	8:36pm Franco Twinkie: Let's set the bummer dial to 10!
	8:37pm Flash Strap: hell yes let's get insanely bummed
	8:37pm Doug Schulkind: Give the Drummer Some will be off tomorrow morning. David Dichelle will be subbing, live from Leipzig, Germany, with Continental Subway.
	8:38pm Franco Twinkie: Angel dust and pop tarts.
	8:38pm Flash Strap: noted, will make mention
	8:42pm Flash Strap: this album is so massive
	8:43pm quinn: i like this
	8:43pm Flash Strap: hi Quinn!
	🥁 8:45pm chresti: like the instrumentals
	8:46pm passiflora: me too @chresti
	🥁 8:46pm chresti: I see what you mean by moody
	8:47pm Flash Strap: every thing on this album is played by either Clark or Hutchinson – the sax in particular very lovely deep tones
	9:04pm passiflora: this is probably my favorite too
	9:05pm quinn: i think this is the first scott walker song i ever heard
	9:06pm passiflora: me too. then i started playing 'farmer in the city' in high school at a friends' apartment and I think I crossed a line
	9:08pm Flash Strap: love that song too passiflora
	9:09pm Flash Strap: not the most high school hangout song though
	9:09pm Flash Strap: i just adore this very technical vocal, he's so perfect and precise
	9:11pm Franco Twinkie: As I often wonder about the age the DJ's on WFMU, and what their personal experience with the music they play was/is. You gave me a clue when your said ...from my childhood, Crinlkewood Green... The first time I saw that ablum, it was brought into class by this stoner named Oscar. The same class that the teacher told me about going to school with Mark and Howard. I was fifteen, so that makes you...
	9:13pm Flash Strap: the first time I heard that album it was on a cassette from a thrift store, and i listened to it in my dad's Isuzu
	9:13pm Little Danny: I wonder the same thing, too, Franco. About WFMU DJs, and all diehard music nuts in general
	9:14pm Franco Twinkie: A cassette!?! My lord!!
	9:15pm Flash Strap: i am the second youngest drummerstreamer as far as i know, or thereabouts
	9:15pm Flash Strap: it was not a new cassette, i reiterate
	9:17pm Flash Strap: i love this track because he's so consciously imitating Jacques Brel's writing, and achieves something unique and amazing (imo)
	9:17pm quinn: i threw a friend's hackey sack out of her mom's isuzu trooper while we were in the backseat and i still feel guilty about it
	9:18pm Flash Strap: maybe my favorite track from the Tilt / Drift Bish Bosch trilogy. feat. the rare Tubax (tuba-sax)
	9:19pm Flash Strap: haha quinn yes, i can relate
	9:20pm passiflora: I remember somehow losing a soccer ball out of a school bus window, and thinking about it every time we passed that spot
	9:23pm Flash Strap: hope i didn't lose yr trust there franco
	9:24pm Flash Strap: just the other day i guiltily remembered about pogs, and what a fake game it was
	9:26pm passiflora: I always tried to think of Hawaii, but I think that devolved pretty quickly. Good call, this song has both of those things, Hawaii and slammers XD
	9:26pm Franco Twinkie: No, You get in the game when you get in the game. No crime in being young.
	9:29pm Flash Strap: haha of course my brother
	9:30pm Flash Strap: not a great album, but what a track! really sticks in your throat
	9:32pm Flash Strap: one of the most unusual examples of scatting on this track
	9:33pm Doug Schulkind: Tomorrow on Hinky Dinky Time, Uncle Michael will be presenting a Scott Walker performance from 1959 that was never released and has remained essentially unheard for 60 years. A world premiere spin, tomorrow on the Drummer Stream!
	9:34pm melinda: I was thinking recently about the hackey sack phenomenon and how funny people looked, from a distance, when playing with them.
	9:34pm Flash Strap: damn
	9:35pm passiflora: baggy
	9:36pm Flash Strap: i gotta hear that
	9:36pm TDK60: Hello, so late.
	9:37pm Franco Twinkie: It's been a total Scott fest on various streams since that fateful day. I'm hearing so much stuff for the first time. Such a strange, strange perspective he had.
	9:38pm Flash Strap: Hi TDK!
	9:39pm passiflora: :eyes:
	9:39pm TDK60: Don't know if it was discussed above but on Tue. eve, on the "Morricone Island" soundtrack show, he played a lot of S. Walker movie music.
	9:40pm Flash Strap: truly a singular perspective, yeah. it's so strange hearing intimations of the mythic "later" work - so alien and "different" - in works as early as Orpheus. It was always there in that boy, it has always been emerging from him, taking stranger andstranger forms
	9:40pm Doug Schulkind: Uncle Michael will be spinning wall-to-wall Walker for all three hours tomorrow.
	9:41pm Flash Strap: holy shit, how can we help it? we have to have our Scott shows
	9:44pm Flash Strap: every time you try to research a Scott Walker song, you end up looking at a grainy black and white photograph of a historical corpse
	9:44pm Doug Schulkind: Indulge and wallow. It is who we are. It is what we do.
	9:44pm Flash Strap: and i always think, i'm so glad someone is making music about this
	9:47pm Franco Twinkie: Yesterday I saw Richard Carpenter on the BBC doing an instramental version of The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore on the grand piano.
	9:48pm Quinn: I love this one
	9:50pm chresti: Thanks Flash!
	9:50pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Flash. Just enough time to make some coffee and take out the trash before Little Danny.
	9:50pm chresti: Historical corpse
	9:52pm Little Danny: Thanks Evan!!!
	9:52pm Little Danny: Lightning can strike twice: wfmu.org... Hope to see y'all there!
	9:54pm chresti: With Scott Walker tributes-there’s such a vast catalog, you can always find something rarely heard
	9:56pm TDK60: Thanks DJ Flash.
	9:56pm passiflora: lovely time, as always
	9:57pm Flash Strap: Thanks all, much love
