	🥁 ♥ 6:57pm Aitch: In for a listen
	6:57pm Flash Strap: Hi Aitch! welcome aboard
	🥁 ♥ 6:58pm chresti: Hello Flash with whizzers and whirrers!
	6:59pm Flash Strap: Hi Chresti!
	6:59pm Flash Strap: just about to start production here
	♥ 7:01pm Carmichael: Put the needle on the record!
	7:01pm Flash Strap: not going strictly chronological tonight
	♥ 7:01pm Fuzzy: Well alright!
	7:01pm Flash Strap: Hi Carmichael!
	7:02pm Flash Strap: Hiya Fuzzy
	7:03pm Flash Strap: this is such a delightful, classic record
	🥁 ♥ 7:04pm Little Danny: Greetings Flash 'n' friends
	7:05pm Flash Strap: other names used by Oronzo De Filippi: Gisteri, Rino de Filippi
	7:05pm Flash Strap: Hi LD!
	🥁 ♥ 7:05pm Little Danny: Thanks as always for these beautiful cover displays.
	🥁 ♥ 7:05pm Little Danny: (This is an especially great round of covers.)
	7:06pm Flash Strap: I agree, each one a stunner. really impressed with top left
	♥ 7:11pm Carmichael: Blip, blip, bleep.
	7:12pm Flash Strap: in a deep industrial abstraction now but the funk is coming
	🥁 ♥ 7:16pm melinda: Hi folks!
	7:17pm Flash Strap: hang with me, we're almost through the soundblizzard here
	🥁 ♥ 7:17pm WR: Hi all ya'll. I'm here for the sound blizzard. Need to be more cool.
	7:18pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda! WR!
	7:19pm Flash Strap: Percussioni in Crescendo is such a cool record. amazing cover too. simple but highly sonic somehow
	🥁 ♥ 7:19pm Little Danny: That was really cool. I always wonder the intended commercial context for such abstract/electronic sounds.
	🥁 ♥ 7:26pm WR: Looking at recent playlists and I am puzzled why I made no comment on the last 2 shows, and it does seem I missed them. Wonder what I was doing, as I was not working those evenings. True, I am still digesting the show a few weeks ago with the Herbie Mann African Suite show.
	🥁 ♥ 7:26pm chresti: A soundtrack for an industrial promotional film?
	🥁 ♥ 7:28pm Little Danny: Thanks for addressing that question, Flash. I hadn't thought of some of that music as a sort of proof-of-concept. It makes sense.
	🥁 ♥ 7:28pm chresti: You were busy with something, maybe, cooking, drinking, etc. @WR
	🥁 ♥ 7:30pm chresti: ..talking to someone, perhaps
	🥁 ♥ 7:30pm WR: Two things to consider about sound library records that are primarily electronic sounds: For the library recordings they were often just tossing stuff out to see what would stick. And the electronic recordings would be just a couple of people in the studio. No musicians on the clock.
	7:31pm Flash Strap: good point WR, very low overhead on those sessions
	7:33pm Flash Strap: very interesting LP, this
	7:33pm Flash Strap: i choose to see it as a very sincere effort
	🥁 ♥ 7:33pm doctorjazz: Hello Explorers and Flash!
	7:34pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 7:34pm WR: My evening chatting has slowed a bit because trying to not be that guy at the dinner table staring at his phone and when I was not working I was cooking dinner for my partner. Tonight she has gone out and I'm doing beer and peanuts for dinner, hence the chattering.
	7:35pm Frog Mover: Peace and lib to you all!
	7:35pm Flash Strap: well it's great to chat with you pal, & now I wish I had some peanuts
	7:35pm Flash Strap: hey there Frog Mo
	7:36pm Flash Strap: Italian library gospel pastiche often has this sort of off sing-a-long quality
	🥁 ♥ 7:37pm doctorjazz: Like this a whole lot!
	7:37pm Frog Mover: This America stuff is so strange! Wonder who played Hendrix
	7:38pm Flash Strap: up next, Ducros' wife, the wonderful Daniela Casa, will give us her exceptional sequel to this LP
	🥁 ♥ 7:38pm WR: LOL. "Delta" slide guitar, just like they play in Harlem. This America Giovane is a kick.
	7:38pm Flash Strap: @Frog: me too
	7:39pm Flash Strap: @WR: very Amerika
	7:39pm Flash Strap: Love this Soft Bird track, a stunner imo
	🥁 ♥ 7:40pm doctorjazz: Soft Bird is CRAZY! Love it!
	7:40pm Flash Strap: but does it hit its mark?
	7:40pm Flash Strap: @doc: me too!
	🥁 ♥ 7:40pm chresti: Yeah, it's hard to be totally present on the comments,while having family time in the other dimension, but I always be listening by hook or crook
	🥁 ♥ 7:42pm chresti: I'm curious about Remigio, what's his story?
	7:42pm Flash Strap: I appreciate your ears, every one of you.
	7:43pm Flash Strap: VERY Gato, this 3rd World Tango
	🥁 ♥ 7:43pm WR: Ah, the Gato B. evocation.
	🥁 ♥ 7:44pm Little Danny: @Evan: can you remind me of the name of the album that was significant in terms of Stereolab? You'd mentioned it in yer first mic break.
	7:45pm Flash Strap: @chresti: i don't know much about him, he did a bunch of projects on various Leonardi Edizioni sublabels, was married to Daniela Casa, & his daughter's a famous singer
	7:45pm Doug Schulkind: Su casa es mi casa, Flash Strap!
	7:46pm Flash Strap: @LD: Chemical Chords (2008) was highly influenced by that album, specifically pastiching the track Chimica Industriale
	🥁 ♥ 7:46pm chresti: Daniel Casa is Remigio's daughter
	🥁 ♥ 7:47pm chresti: *Daniela
	7:47pm Flash Strap: but I think they had been influenced by it & things like it long before. I don't swing with much 'Lab so I can't speak with authority
	7:48pm Flash Strap: @chresti: his daughter (with Daniela) is Valentina Ducros
	🥁 ♥ 7:48pm Little Danny: Thanks, and no worries!
	7:48pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug! Bienvenidos!
	7:48pm Frog Mover: Sorta counter culture exotica
	🥁 ♥ 7:48pm WR: What I read, Valentina Ducros is the daughter of Remigio and Daniela.
	7:49pm Flash Strap: @FM: totally yes
	🥁 ♥ 7:49pm Jeff Golick: Those covers are ACES, as I'm sure has been noted already. Hi.
	7:51pm Flash Strap: Hi Jeff! I love 'em too
	🥁 ♥ 7:51pm chresti: For sure their album cover art was@Flash@7:48 Oops, I just saw it for a sec on Discogs@Flash@7:48b
	7:51pm Flash Strap: ok we're about to jump from LEO to OTTER for America Giovane 3
	7:52pm Flash Strap: @chresti: definitely - img.discogs.com...
	7:53pm Flash Strap: art by House, aka The Focus Group
	🥁 ♥ 7:54pm Little Danny: Wow, this is not what I imagine when I think library music. Back roads rural USA vibes.
	7:54pm Frog Mover: Midwest vibes here
	🥁 ♥ 7:55pm WR: so there was a spyro gyra fusion evocation thing. And Puertorico Slum, whoa, harsh but eye of the beholder and all... And now USA country rural sounds.
	🥁 ♥ 7:55pm Jeff Golick: This stuff would make for a hell of a blindfold test.
	7:56pm Flash Strap: @LD: It's funny, because you're totally right - but on the other hand, sorta by definition, library music has to fill every need! so it's funny the multitudes you'll encounter therein, and the dominant "genre" types that nonetheless emerge
	🥁 ♥ 7:57pm WR: LOL Jeff, particularly if play only 20 seconds so listener can't realize there is no lyric, not a complete song.
	7:57pm Doug Schulkind: Play me a nice birthday ditty, Flash. Something with a beat!
	7:57pm Flash Strap: no evocation of the american experience is complete without a dissociative episode
	🥁 ♥ 7:57pm WR: what now, Art Ensemble of Chicago?
	🥁 ♥ 7:58pm Little Danny: Haha, totally, Evan.
	🥁 ♥ 7:58pm Jeff Golick: aka 2020. Doug is today your birthday??
	7:58pm Flash Strap: Doug! Is it your birthday man!
	🥁 ♥ 7:59pm WR: That user isn't logged in. Could be an impostor Doug spreading rumors.
	7:59pm Doug Schulkind: Haven’t the church bells been ringing in your town?!?
	🥁 ♥ 8:01pm WR: The real Doug Schulkind would be working on getting their show ready for tomorrow.
	8:01pm Frog Mover: This sounds like birthday feeling!
	8:02pm Doug Schulkind: @WR I’m way ahead of you. My show is ready to go. Haha!
	8:02pm Flash Strap: just to be on the safe side: Happy Birthday and much love to you Doug. couldn't happen to a better fella or a greater guy
	8:03pm Flash Strap: ok now we'll circle back to the 1st LEO release
	🥁 ♥ 8:03pm Jeff Golick: Happy day, @Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 8:04pm WR: The titles are a bit of rorschach of Italian image of USA.
	8:05pm the real Doug Schulkind: Thank you!
	8:08pm passiflora: enjoying this very much
	🥁 ♥ 8:08pm Little Danny: OMGGG DOUG HBD
	8:08pm Flash Strap: Hi Passiflora!
	🥁 ♥ 8:09pm Little Danny: This Luciani is GORGEOUS
	🥁 ♥ 8:09pm doctorjazz: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG,
	🥁 ♥ 8:09pm chresti: Happy birthday Doug!
	♥ 8:10pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan, Explorers
	♥ 8:11pm coelacanth∅: Happy New Year Doug!
	8:13pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks thanks thanks! Spent the day listening to radio and music. In other words, celebrating.
	🥁 ♥ 8:13pm chresti: I'm flubbing like crazy in the typing department. Happy New Days, coel!
	8:17pm Frog Mover: Happy Birthday Doug!
	8:18pm Doug Schulkind: Going for a dog walk. Back for more Explorers Room and pecan pie in a minute.
	🥁 ♥ 8:19pm Little Danny: Wow this too is gorgeous
	8:20pm Flash Strap: @LD: i LOVE this one. so exotica
	8:21pm Flash Strap: Hi Coelacanth! bappy few ears my friend
	8:23pm Flash Strap: cool organ on this one
	🥁 ♥ 8:26pm melinda: Indeed.
	8:27pm Flash Strap: this track very similar to Alessandroni's Ritmo Dell'Industria LP on Leonardi sublabel Grand Prix, which in turn is very similar to Meccanizzazione (recorded around same time, possibly with same personnel)
	🥁 ♥ 8:30pm chresti: I like this cover too www.discogs.com...
	8:30pm Flash Strap: we'll hear Ritmo Dell'Industria near the end of the program tonight
	8:31pm Flash Strap: oooh me too Chresti! really need to track down some Grifo records
	🥁 ♥ 8:32pm WR: I have surveyed the GTDS playlists and find many examples, such as the Destination Out playlist of May 28, 2017, where the birthday of one Doug Schulkind is remarked upon. I am a WFMU playlist newbie. This is all new news to me. Next year I hope to see May 28 properly observed. It will be a Friday. Not too soon to start planning.
	8:32pm Flash Strap: i'd love to shout out the artist behind these minimal designs, but i don't know the name
	8:33pm Flash Strap: if it's on a Friday then you know it will be celebrated beautifully, as no one puts on a show quite like Doug
	8:35pm Flash Strap: this is a track Stereolab very very closely emulated on Chemical Chords, btw
	8:43pm Flash Strap: love this Sorgini record
	🥁 ♥ 8:50pm Little Danny: Wow
	8:51pm Flash Strap: this one's really cool
	🥁 ♥ 8:53pm Little Danny: So cosmic
	🥁 ♥ 8:53pm chresti: $989.01 buys you one of two Percussion in Crescendo album.
	🥁 ♥ 8:54pm Little Danny: Maybe Doug would like one for his birthday, Chresti. He's worth it you know.
	8:55pm Flash Strap: @chresti: i know... and all the rips of it out there don't exactly sound great
	🥁 ♥ 8:57pm chresti: Hmmmm...I did get a rather large unemployment check.
	🥁 ♥ 8:59pm chresti: I'm having a leftover Ambrosia, for supper, palek paneer, and Chipolte bowl.
	🥁 ♥ 9:01pm Little Danny: I always dig these trippy echoplex interludes that pop up in the context of library music.
	9:02pm Flash Strap: me too LD
	🥁 ♥ 9:03pm Little Danny: The echo-y track was "Monasteri Del Tibet," correct?
	🥁 ♥ 9:04pm Little Danny: Beautiful track, seamless segue!
	9:04pm Flash Strap: correct
	9:04pm Flash Strap: ah thank you, thank you
	9:05pm Flash Strap: i love imagining this music underscoring a greek myth film
	🥁 ♥ 9:05pm WR: Civiltà Sepolte so very interesting. Could provide soundtrack for a time travel film.
	🥁 ♥ 9:06pm burke: Something warm and comforting about this set...I get to be an "explorer" while also enjoying the "room"
	9:06pm Flash Strap: Hi Burke! in my opinion, that sounds perfect
	9:10pm Doug Schulkind: @WR Wait so May 38 is a Friday next year? You are invited to the radio party!!
	9:10pm Doug Schulkind: Um, make that 28.
	🥁 ♥ 9:16pm WR: @Doug, Jah willing and if the stream don't break it will be my honor and pleasure to celebrate your radio birthday party. I've marked it in my calendar.
	9:17pm Doug Schulkind: No reason not to keep celebrating tomorrow morning.
	9:20pm Flash Strap: no reason at all, my birthday man!
	🥁 ♥ 9:23pm WR: It is a celebration every time I hear your show Doug.
	9:24pm Flash Strap: truly
	9:25pm Doug Schulkind: That is my hope!
	9:27pm still b/p: When i came home today after being out in the sun a good while, I NEEDED some cold fizzy lemonade soda. That last Brasilian Boys track and that drink were the top sensory experiences of the day.
	9:27pm Flash Strap: this is supposedly a highly sought-after LP, but it never gets better than this - sorta middle-tier at best. Father & son Filippis though
	9:29pm Flash Strap: excellent, B/P, I couldn't ask for more than that!
	🥁 ♥ 9:29pm WR: Evan, when researching these library recordings do you ever come across the sales brochures? I recall seeing some back in the early 70s, but don't remember any details except that they were something like $100 an album.
	9:30pm Flash Strap: I don't think I ever have, no. I could go deeper than I do
	9:31pm Flash Strap: 100 is a lot!
	9:33pm Flash Strap: this record is so cool & bizarre
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm WR: $100 isn't much when you consider that it generally allows royalty free use and that the market was not the general public.
	9:34pm Flash Strap: I figured it had to cover usage, yeah that makes sense
	9:35pm Flash Strap: in that case, pretty good deal, unless the tunes don't suit your needs
	9:36pm Ignore Function: Really like this Narassa.
	9:36pm Flash Strap: @IF: me too, really intriguing little sonic world getting built here
	9:40pm ToTetsu: I wonder what those synth chip sounds sounded like to people who first heard them as adults.
	9:41pm Flash Strap: Hi ToTetsu, yeah me too
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm Little Danny: I feel like I always say this, but this has been one of my favorite of your library label exposés, Evan. Many, many memorable tracks this evening.
	9:47pm Flash Strap: Thanks LD! that makes me really happy, honestly
	9:48pm ToTetsu: and I- feel like I- always say this, but this show is a lifesaver for blocking out the office alexa playing the bosonova rendition of dancing queen
	🥁 ♥ 9:48pm chresti: Leo records designer- www.discogs.com...
	9:50pm Flash Strap: @totestu: that sucks, to me. So happy to help with that!
	9:51pm Flash Strap: Good find, Chresti! I wonder if she did the minimal geometric designs too, or mainly the painted ones?
	🥁 ♥ 9:51pm chresti: To Tetsu, can you turn it up real loud? Or scream at alexa?
	9:52pm Flash Strap: there's that famous whistle!
	♥ 9:55pm coelacanth∅: maybe alexa would like a nice bath
	9:57pm still b/p: With heavy epsom salt in the water..
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: yes. she's earned it.
	🥁 ♥ 9:59pm chresti: Haaha
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! take care
	10:00pm ToTetsu: I could tell her to shut up, but she doesn't understand my Japanese
	10:00pm Flash Strap: Thanks everyone! good night! see you next week
	10:00pm ToTetsu: Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 10:00pm chresti: Maybe she needs a smoke, too. Thanks Flassh!
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm WR: Great show Evan. Very varied range of recordings tonight. I found that there are 329 Edizioni Leonardi releases on qbuz.com for 8.49 euro each. I think I'll just keep listening to your show, let you be the collector.

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.

	6:57pm Flash Strap: Hi Aitch! welcome aboard
	🥁 ♥ 6:58pm chresti: Hello Flash with whizzers and whirrers!
	6:59pm Flash Strap: Hi Chresti!
	6:59pm Flash Strap: just about to start production here
	♥ 7:01pm Carmichael: Put the needle on the record!
	7:01pm Flash Strap: not going strictly chronological tonight
	♥ 7:01pm Fuzzy: Well alright!
	7:01pm Flash Strap: Hi Carmichael!
	7:02pm Flash Strap: Hiya Fuzzy
	7:03pm Flash Strap: this is such a delightful, classic record
	🥁 ♥ 7:04pm Little Danny: Greetings Flash 'n' friends
	7:05pm Flash Strap: other names used by Oronzo De Filippi: Gisteri, Rino de Filippi
	7:05pm Flash Strap: Hi LD!
	🥁 ♥ 7:05pm Little Danny: Thanks as always for these beautiful cover displays.
	🥁 ♥ 7:05pm Little Danny: (This is an especially great round of covers.)
	7:06pm Flash Strap: I agree, each one a stunner. really impressed with top left
	♥ 7:11pm Carmichael: Blip, blip, bleep.
	7:12pm Flash Strap: in a deep industrial abstraction now but the funk is coming
	🥁 ♥ 7:16pm melinda: Hi folks!
	7:17pm Flash Strap: hang with me, we're almost through the soundblizzard here
	🥁 ♥ 7:17pm WR: Hi all ya'll. I'm here for the sound blizzard. Need to be more cool.
	7:18pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda! WR!
	7:19pm Flash Strap: Percussioni in Crescendo is such a cool record. amazing cover too. simple but highly sonic somehow
	🥁 ♥ 7:19pm Little Danny: That was really cool. I always wonder the intended commercial context for such abstract/electronic sounds.
	🥁 ♥ 7:26pm WR: Looking at recent playlists and I am puzzled why I made no comment on the last 2 shows, and it does seem I missed them. Wonder what I was doing, as I was not working those evenings. True, I am still digesting the show a few weeks ago with the Herbie Mann African Suite show.
	🥁 ♥ 7:26pm chresti: A soundtrack for an industrial promotional film?
	🥁 ♥ 7:28pm Little Danny: Thanks for addressing that question, Flash. I hadn't thought of some of that music as a sort of proof-of-concept. It makes sense.
	🥁 ♥ 7:28pm chresti: You were busy with something, maybe, cooking, drinking, etc. @WR
	🥁 ♥ 7:30pm chresti: ..talking to someone, perhaps
	🥁 ♥ 7:30pm WR: Two things to consider about sound library records that are primarily electronic sounds: For the library recordings they were often just tossing stuff out to see what would stick. And the electronic recordings would be just a couple of people in the studio. No musicians on the clock.
	7:31pm Flash Strap: good point WR, very low overhead on those sessions
	7:33pm Flash Strap: very interesting LP, this
	7:33pm Flash Strap: i choose to see it as a very sincere effort
	🥁 ♥ 7:33pm doctorjazz: Hello Explorers and Flash!
	7:34pm Flash Strap: Hi Doc!
	🥁 ♥ 7:34pm WR: My evening chatting has slowed a bit because trying to not be that guy at the dinner table staring at his phone and when I was not working I was cooking dinner for my partner. Tonight she has gone out and I'm doing beer and peanuts for dinner, hence the chattering.
	7:35pm Frog Mover: Peace and lib to you all!
	7:35pm Flash Strap: well it's great to chat with you pal, & now I wish I had some peanuts
	7:35pm Flash Strap: hey there Frog Mo
	7:36pm Flash Strap: Italian library gospel pastiche often has this sort of off sing-a-long quality
	🥁 ♥ 7:37pm doctorjazz: Like this a whole lot!
	7:37pm Frog Mover: This America stuff is so strange! Wonder who played Hendrix
	7:38pm Flash Strap: up next, Ducros' wife, the wonderful Daniela Casa, will give us her exceptional sequel to this LP
	🥁 ♥ 7:38pm WR: LOL. "Delta" slide guitar, just like they play in Harlem. This America Giovane is a kick.
	7:38pm Flash Strap: @Frog: me too
	7:39pm Flash Strap: @WR: very Amerika
	7:39pm Flash Strap: Love this Soft Bird track, a stunner imo
	🥁 ♥ 7:40pm doctorjazz: Soft Bird is CRAZY! Love it!
	7:40pm Flash Strap: but does it hit its mark?
	7:40pm Flash Strap: @doc: me too!
	🥁 ♥ 7:40pm chresti: Yeah, it's hard to be totally present on the comments,while having family time in the other dimension, but I always be listening by hook or crook
	🥁 ♥ 7:42pm chresti: I'm curious about Remigio, what's his story?
	7:42pm Flash Strap: I appreciate your ears, every one of you.
	7:43pm Flash Strap: VERY Gato, this 3rd World Tango
	🥁 ♥ 7:43pm WR: Ah, the Gato B. evocation.
	🥁 ♥ 7:44pm Little Danny: @Evan: can you remind me of the name of the album that was significant in terms of Stereolab? You'd mentioned it in yer first mic break.
	7:45pm Flash Strap: @chresti: i don't know much about him, he did a bunch of projects on various Leonardi Edizioni sublabels, was married to Daniela Casa, & his daughter's a famous singer
	7:45pm Doug Schulkind: Su casa es mi casa, Flash Strap!
	7:46pm Flash Strap: @LD: Chemical Chords (2008) was highly influenced by that album, specifically pastiching the track Chimica Industriale
	🥁 ♥ 7:46pm chresti: Daniel Casa is Remigio's daughter
	🥁 ♥ 7:47pm chresti: *Daniela
	7:47pm Flash Strap: but I think they had been influenced by it & things like it long before. I don't swing with much 'Lab so I can't speak with authority
	7:48pm Flash Strap: @chresti: his daughter (with Daniela) is Valentina Ducros
	🥁 ♥ 7:48pm Little Danny: Thanks, and no worries!
	7:48pm Flash Strap: Hi Doug! Bienvenidos!
	7:48pm Frog Mover: Sorta counter culture exotica
	🥁 ♥ 7:48pm WR: What I read, Valentina Ducros is the daughter of Remigio and Daniela.
	7:49pm Flash Strap: @FM: totally yes
	🥁 ♥ 7:49pm Jeff Golick: Those covers are ACES, as I'm sure has been noted already. Hi.
	7:51pm Flash Strap: Hi Jeff! I love 'em too
	🥁 ♥ 7:51pm chresti: For sure their album cover art was@Flash@7:48 Oops, I just saw it for a sec on Discogs@Flash@7:48b
	7:51pm Flash Strap: ok we're about to jump from LEO to OTTER for America Giovane 3
	7:52pm Flash Strap: @chresti: definitely - img.discogs.com...
	7:53pm Flash Strap: art by House, aka The Focus Group
	🥁 ♥ 7:54pm Little Danny: Wow, this is not what I imagine when I think library music. Back roads rural USA vibes.
	7:54pm Frog Mover: Midwest vibes here
	🥁 ♥ 7:55pm WR: so there was a spyro gyra fusion evocation thing. And Puertorico Slum, whoa, harsh but eye of the beholder and all... And now USA country rural sounds.
	🥁 ♥ 7:55pm Jeff Golick: This stuff would make for a hell of a blindfold test.
	7:56pm Flash Strap: @LD: It's funny, because you're totally right - but on the other hand, sorta by definition, library music has to fill every need! so it's funny the multitudes you'll encounter therein, and the dominant "genre" types that nonetheless emerge
	🥁 ♥ 7:57pm WR: LOL Jeff, particularly if play only 20 seconds so listener can't realize there is no lyric, not a complete song.
	7:57pm Doug Schulkind: Play me a nice birthday ditty, Flash. Something with a beat!
	7:57pm Flash Strap: no evocation of the american experience is complete without a dissociative episode
	🥁 ♥ 7:57pm WR: what now, Art Ensemble of Chicago?
	🥁 ♥ 7:58pm Little Danny: Haha, totally, Evan.
	🥁 ♥ 7:58pm Jeff Golick: aka 2020. Doug is today your birthday??
	7:58pm Flash Strap: Doug! Is it your birthday man!
	🥁 ♥ 7:59pm WR: That user isn't logged in. Could be an impostor Doug spreading rumors.
	7:59pm Doug Schulkind: Haven’t the church bells been ringing in your town?!?
	🥁 ♥ 8:01pm WR: The real Doug Schulkind would be working on getting their show ready for tomorrow.
	8:01pm Frog Mover: This sounds like birthday feeling!
	8:02pm Doug Schulkind: @WR I’m way ahead of you. My show is ready to go. Haha!
	8:02pm Flash Strap: just to be on the safe side: Happy Birthday and much love to you Doug. couldn't happen to a better fella or a greater guy
	8:03pm Flash Strap: ok now we'll circle back to the 1st LEO release
	🥁 ♥ 8:03pm Jeff Golick: Happy day, @Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 8:04pm WR: The titles are a bit of rorschach of Italian image of USA.
	8:05pm the real Doug Schulkind: Thank you!
	8:08pm passiflora: enjoying this very much
	🥁 ♥ 8:08pm Little Danny: OMGGG DOUG HBD
	8:08pm Flash Strap: Hi Passiflora!
	🥁 ♥ 8:09pm Little Danny: This Luciani is GORGEOUS
	🥁 ♥ 8:09pm doctorjazz: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG,
	🥁 ♥ 8:09pm chresti: Happy birthday Doug!
	♥ 8:10pm coelacanth∅: greetings Evan, Explorers
	♥ 8:11pm coelacanth∅: Happy New Year Doug!
	8:13pm Doug Schulkind: Thanks thanks thanks! Spent the day listening to radio and music. In other words, celebrating.
	🥁 ♥ 8:13pm chresti: I'm flubbing like crazy in the typing department. Happy New Days, coel!
	8:17pm Frog Mover: Happy Birthday Doug!
	8:18pm Doug Schulkind: Going for a dog walk. Back for more Explorers Room and pecan pie in a minute.
	🥁 ♥ 8:19pm Little Danny: Wow this too is gorgeous
	8:20pm Flash Strap: @LD: i LOVE this one. so exotica
	8:21pm Flash Strap: Hi Coelacanth! bappy few ears my friend
	8:23pm Flash Strap: cool organ on this one
	🥁 ♥ 8:26pm melinda: Indeed.
	8:27pm Flash Strap: this track very similar to Alessandroni's Ritmo Dell'Industria LP on Leonardi sublabel Grand Prix, which in turn is very similar to Meccanizzazione (recorded around same time, possibly with same personnel)
	🥁 ♥ 8:30pm chresti: I like this cover too www.discogs.com...
	8:30pm Flash Strap: we'll hear Ritmo Dell'Industria near the end of the program tonight
	8:31pm Flash Strap: oooh me too Chresti! really need to track down some Grifo records
	🥁 ♥ 8:32pm WR: I have surveyed the GTDS playlists and find many examples, such as the Destination Out playlist of May 28, 2017, where the birthday of one Doug Schulkind is remarked upon. I am a WFMU playlist newbie. This is all new news to me. Next year I hope to see May 28 properly observed. It will be a Friday. Not too soon to start planning.
	8:32pm Flash Strap: i'd love to shout out the artist behind these minimal designs, but i don't know the name
	8:33pm Flash Strap: if it's on a Friday then you know it will be celebrated beautifully, as no one puts on a show quite like Doug
	8:35pm Flash Strap: this is a track Stereolab very very closely emulated on Chemical Chords, btw
	8:43pm Flash Strap: love this Sorgini record
	🥁 ♥ 8:50pm Little Danny: Wow
	8:51pm Flash Strap: this one's really cool
	🥁 ♥ 8:53pm Little Danny: So cosmic
	🥁 ♥ 8:53pm chresti: $989.01 buys you one of two Percussion in Crescendo album.
	🥁 ♥ 8:54pm Little Danny: Maybe Doug would like one for his birthday, Chresti. He's worth it you know.
	8:55pm Flash Strap: @chresti: i know... and all the rips of it out there don't exactly sound great
	🥁 ♥ 8:57pm chresti: Hmmmm...I did get a rather large unemployment check.
	🥁 ♥ 8:59pm chresti: I'm having a leftover Ambrosia, for supper, palek paneer, and Chipolte bowl.
	🥁 ♥ 9:01pm Little Danny: I always dig these trippy echoplex interludes that pop up in the context of library music.
	9:02pm Flash Strap: me too LD
	🥁 ♥ 9:03pm Little Danny: The echo-y track was "Monasteri Del Tibet," correct?
	🥁 ♥ 9:04pm Little Danny: Beautiful track, seamless segue!
	9:04pm Flash Strap: correct
	9:04pm Flash Strap: ah thank you, thank you
	9:05pm Flash Strap: i love imagining this music underscoring a greek myth film
	🥁 ♥ 9:05pm WR: Civiltà Sepolte so very interesting. Could provide soundtrack for a time travel film.
	🥁 ♥ 9:06pm burke: Something warm and comforting about this set...I get to be an "explorer" while also enjoying the "room"
	9:06pm Flash Strap: Hi Burke! in my opinion, that sounds perfect
	9:10pm Doug Schulkind: @WR Wait so May 38 is a Friday next year? You are invited to the radio party!!
	9:10pm Doug Schulkind: Um, make that 28.
	🥁 ♥ 9:16pm WR: @Doug, Jah willing and if the stream don't break it will be my honor and pleasure to celebrate your radio birthday party. I've marked it in my calendar.
	9:17pm Doug Schulkind: No reason not to keep celebrating tomorrow morning.
	9:20pm Flash Strap: no reason at all, my birthday man!
	🥁 ♥ 9:23pm WR: It is a celebration every time I hear your show Doug.
	9:24pm Flash Strap: truly
	9:25pm Doug Schulkind: That is my hope!
	9:27pm still b/p: When i came home today after being out in the sun a good while, I NEEDED some cold fizzy lemonade soda. That last Brasilian Boys track and that drink were the top sensory experiences of the day.
	9:27pm Flash Strap: this is supposedly a highly sought-after LP, but it never gets better than this - sorta middle-tier at best. Father & son Filippis though
	9:29pm Flash Strap: excellent, B/P, I couldn't ask for more than that!
	🥁 ♥ 9:29pm WR: Evan, when researching these library recordings do you ever come across the sales brochures? I recall seeing some back in the early 70s, but don't remember any details except that they were something like $100 an album.
	9:30pm Flash Strap: I don't think I ever have, no. I could go deeper than I do
	9:31pm Flash Strap: 100 is a lot!
	9:33pm Flash Strap: this record is so cool & bizarre
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm WR: $100 isn't much when you consider that it generally allows royalty free use and that the market was not the general public.
	9:34pm Flash Strap: I figured it had to cover usage, yeah that makes sense
	9:35pm Flash Strap: in that case, pretty good deal, unless the tunes don't suit your needs
	9:36pm Ignore Function: Really like this Narassa.
	9:36pm Flash Strap: @IF: me too, really intriguing little sonic world getting built here
	9:40pm ToTetsu: I wonder what those synth chip sounds sounded like to people who first heard them as adults.
	9:41pm Flash Strap: Hi ToTetsu, yeah me too
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm Little Danny: I feel like I always say this, but this has been one of my favorite of your library label exposés, Evan. Many, many memorable tracks this evening.
	9:47pm Flash Strap: Thanks LD! that makes me really happy, honestly
	9:48pm ToTetsu: and I- feel like I- always say this, but this show is a lifesaver for blocking out the office alexa playing the bosonova rendition of dancing queen
	🥁 ♥ 9:48pm chresti: Leo records designer- www.discogs.com...
	9:50pm Flash Strap: @totestu: that sucks, to me. So happy to help with that!
	9:51pm Flash Strap: Good find, Chresti! I wonder if she did the minimal geometric designs too, or mainly the painted ones?
	🥁 ♥ 9:51pm chresti: To Tetsu, can you turn it up real loud? Or scream at alexa?
	9:52pm Flash Strap: there's that famous whistle!
	♥ 9:55pm coelacanth∅: maybe alexa would like a nice bath
	9:57pm still b/p: With heavy epsom salt in the water..
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: yes. she's earned it.
	🥁 ♥ 9:59pm chresti: Haaha
	♥ 9:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Evan! take care
	10:00pm ToTetsu: I could tell her to shut up, but she doesn't understand my Japanese
	10:00pm Flash Strap: Thanks everyone! good night! see you next week
	10:00pm ToTetsu: Thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 10:00pm chresti: Maybe she needs a smoke, too. Thanks Flassh!
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm WR: Great show Evan. Very varied range of recordings tonight. I found that there are 329 Edizioni Leonardi releases on qbuz.com for 8.49 euro each. I think I'll just keep listening to your show, let you be the collector.
