	🥁 5:17pm david w: Playing with knobs in 1971, irresistible.
	🥁 5:26pm WR: Hello David and Ruth. Started listening mid your introductory comments. Interesting sounds. One question, reading the signs in the playlist photo, one is partially obscured by glare. DEMOLISH SERIOUS ??? Can't quite make out the third line, CAROUSEL?
	🥁 5:27pm david w: I believe it is CULTURE, WR. And welcome!
	5:28pm heinseng: Flynt restaged the '63 event at Swiss Institute in 2018. Played half an hour with back to crowd, like Miles.
	🥁 5:30pm david w: heinseng! Yes he pops up now and again here and there. He's 80 and still rubbing up against it!
	5:32pm βrian: Spake the monk: "If you meet a red-bearded buddha on the road, kill him!"
	5:33pm βrian: Edgy artists need to avoid caffeine.
	🥁 5:36pm david w: Don't stop now, βrian!
	🥁 5:39pm WR: Flynt. Arrived in NYC in 1960, a 20 year old fire cracker. Interesting guy.
	5:43pm Doug Schulkind: So good.
	🥁 5:46pm WR: His guitar playing does sound as implied by the information on the Wikipedia page, few pointers from Lou Reed and listened to some collections of vintage recordings on Folkways.
	🥁 5:48pm david w: Zoned in.
	5:56pm ruth: Henry came to a few things at the Outpost over the years. I helped organize a couple of talks with him in the 80s with Tony Conrad and Glenn Branca. The one i remember best was about tri-tones and their possibly supernatural evil power
	5:58pm gailvachon: Oh Ruth, if only you had a recording of that!
	🥁 5:58pm david w: That's a wow.
	6:00pm ruth: I know. I may have taped it but I can't remember. Never came across it in any clean ups either that I recall I guess it would have been on VHS...
	6:00pm Che Chen: I'm late to the party but glad to see a whole show devoted to My. Flynt!
	6:01pm gailvachon: If you find it, I have a VCR.
	6:03pm ruth: Somebody force me to go through all the unmarked tapes... Warning I will need my hand held and a lot of chocolate
	6:04pm northguineahills: Darn, missed a lot of Flynt...
	6:04pm Ike: Hi all.
	6:04pm gailvachon: I'm always very happy to listen to U.S. Millie, but is there a connection to Henry Flynt that I missed?
	6:04pm ruth: SO GREAT
	🥁 6:05pm david w: Well Ruth sat Branca down with Flynt for one thing!
	6:06pm northguineahills: weird, I saw Tony at the Swiss Institute, and he also plays w/ his back to the crowd (as per usual).
	🥁 6:06pm david w: ngh! More Flynt coming!
	6:06pm ruth: @gail Maybe Glenn's relationship to Henry, I felt like he really admired all the FLUXUS guys left in NYC.
	🥁 6:06pm david w: Hi, Ike! Welcome!
	🥁 6:08pm chresti: Hi David, ruth, and Ridgewood party!
	🥁 6:09pm david w: Hi, chresti always a pleasure!
	🥁 6:10pm listener james from westwood: Here for feud-flecked music.
	🥁 6:11pm david w: Encyclopedia of feuds!
	6:12pm coelacanth∅: hey david and ruth and ridgies
	6:13pm northguineahills: Ironically, this was the last SY album I got...(around 2010)
	6:13pm Che Chen: I once tried to pitch the idea to Henry of 75 dollar bill being his backing band, but talks didn't proceed very far. I think he didn't perceive us sufficiently "rock" for what he wanted to do.
	🥁 6:13pm david w: hey, coel and welcome to the weekly journey!
	🥁 6:15pm david w: Che! Try again! Send him the new album.
	🥁 6:19pm WR: Flynt was / is very conceptual in his approach to creating sounds using vernacular tropes while Vliet and the many more to come, including the contemporaneous Velvet Underground had already assimilated popular music so no Veramusement construct.
	6:20pm northguineahills: I still you should do a track labeled, "75 dollar bill, 75 dollar bill, y'all." (hiphop fans of Wyclef Jean/Lil' Wayne would get the reference). Another fave Jim O'Rourke of mine (my wife has the hots for him).
	6:21pm northguineahills: I still think, no english good (can't work and woofmoo at the same time).
	🥁 6:22pm WR: Sorry, just broke my recent vow to limit my comments to "i like this" and "I didn't know about this" and "thank you".
	6:23pm Che Chen: not attuned enough to the Wyclef/Weezy continuum myself... I'd jump at the chance to play with him if it presented itself but I may be content to admire Mr.Flynt's activities from afar at this point :)
	6:23pm Che Chen: @WR i won't say know to more comments about veramusement!
	🥁 6:24pm david w: @WR. Your comment addresses a key point. It takes some nerve to follow Flynt all the way down the road.
	6:28pm northguineahills: First Frith album I heard, so I went I bought the first one I found, I was disappointed that it was "Dancing in the Street".
	6:32pm northguineahills: But, that rabbit hole took me to Henry Cow and then Henry Cowell Recs, so, win/win!
	🥁 6:34pm david w: Frith created double melodic lines by adding a pickup at the head, nice effect.
	6:34pm ruth: Very nice indeed
	6:37pm Danny T: WHat an extremely satisfying show wow thanks! I am being uplifted and transformed. Northguineahills, from a fellow Henry Cow addict, I bet that now that you've traveled the entire rabbit hole loop, that 'Dancing in the Streets' single might now become entirely pleasing to you?
	6:37pm Rich in Washington: Dreamy set you've got going on today! Really enjoying the show!
	🥁 6:38pm david w: Thanks, Rich. And it gets dreamier to finish!
	6:38pm northguineahills: @Danny T: Definitely. I was 20 at the time I picked up, I was really picky in my tastes at the time. My tastes have definitely broadened over the years.
	🥁 6:44pm david w: Some Drummer details for today: 7-10pm EDT: BODEGA POP LIVE with Gary Sullivan: Neue Deutsche Welle, 1977-89: Punk, DIY, new wave, post-punk, and synthpop from the German-speaking world. 10-midnite: IF YOU LOSE YOUR HORSE with Sam Segal
	6:45pm Che Chen: Purified! was wondering which of the long tone jams you would choose. i love this one.
	6:45pm Inner Ear Detour: Terrific show. Just what my earholes needed today.
	🥁 6:46pm david w: Well definitely an Inner Ear Detour! Thanks!
	6:47pm northguineahills: OK. I ever knew CC Hennix was on this album (should read liner notes more often). Wow!
	6:49pm Che Chen: yeah, they collaborated a lot at one point. i believe Hennix actually made the tamboura tape that Flynt used throughout this period (rather than actually playing tamboura live on the recording).
	6:51pm Che Chen: also, if anybody wants to do any reading on Henry, this essay of his is a great look into his thinking behind these various stages of his music: www.henryflynt.org...
	6:52pm Che Chen: There's also the Dharma Warriors album (locust) where Hennix plays drums to Flynt's guitar.
	6:53pm northguineahills: (never knew) Thanks for the link, Che Chen!
	6:55pm ruth: I went to Henry's apartment once and met Hennix. Before their transition.
	6:55pm gailvachon: Great show as usual!
	6:55pm ruth: Thanks for listening everyone- this was a fabulous one David!! See you all next week.
	🥁 6:55pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks!
	6:56pm northguineahills: danks, david y ruth!
	🥁 6:56pm david w: Great help from everybody to fill in blanks and trigger some laughs. Always enjoy you all!
	6:56pm Che Chen: wow, Ruth. would love to hear about that! i guess they used to have a practice/crash pad in woodstock, before Hennix moved to Sweden.
	🥁 6:58pm david w: Thanks, Ruth. Thanks, everyone!
	6:59pm northguineahills: I always thought Hennix always lived in Sweden, but I didn't discover her until around 2006.
	6:59pm Che Chen: Also, Ruth, that's cool that Henry did some things at Outpost. In the early 2000s I was involved with a DIY space called glasslands and Henry (then working with Locust) did a lecture and performance there too. He seems to come out in public once a decade or so...
	🥁 6:59pm WR: Thank you for the link Che Chen. Thank you for selecting and sending the sounds out David. Lovely and provocative.
	7:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, David! Wonderful show! I had the barest knowledge of Henry Flynt. Very illuminating!
	🥁 7:00pm chresti: Thanks for this David!
	7:01pm Che Chen: Yes, great show, David!
	7:20pm coelacanth∅: Thanks David! tchau
	6:29am Stanley: Hi David. Caught up with your show and am reminded how much I have missed it these last few months. I'll try to catch you live some time. Take care and all the best, Stanley
