	♥ 7:06pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Song: "Mr. Guitar Man" by "Duane Eddy and The Rebels fea... Does anyone know readily what the original melody/tune is for this? Obviously not "Happy Xmas (War is Over)". What it actually reminds me of was the old "Come Back to Jamaica" ads.
	7:07pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Stalkin'" by "Duane Eddy" great Lee Hazlewood production on this star-making debut LP
	7:07pm Flash Strap: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @7:06 hey AJ! no idea but it's definitely reminiscent of a few different things for me too

	7:10pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:09 very glad to hear it!
	🥁 ♥ 7:11pm tom tom the pipers son: is 'girl on death row' and 'words mean nothing' a single title?…ha!
	🥁 ♥ 7:13pm Aitch: Above ground, ready to explore.
	♥ 7:13pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Song: "Lover" by "Duane Eddy and The Rebels" Ooh, Les Paul 2.0.
	7:13pm Samfiman: any more you have time and room to say about hazelwood as a producer would be appreciated! really enjoy some of his nancy sinatra tracks but didn't know anything beyond that...
	7:13pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:11 they're so stark and impactful there side by side! 2 different titles though. But wait'll you see the full original title for Girl on Death Row
	🥁 ♥ 7:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:11 i just woke from nap…a little bleary
	🥁 ♥ 7:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @7:13 very...
	7:14pm Flash Strap: Hey Aitch!
	🥁 ♥ 7:14pm WR: A whole set of Duane "The Twang is the Thang" Eddy? I'm in. Hello Flash Strap and folks.
	7:14pm Flash Strap: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @7:13 made me think of Chet Atkins
	7:15pm Flash Strap: Hey WR!
	7:15pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Patricia" by "Duane Eddy" love hearing him take on Patricia, a real slick mambo classic
	🥁 ♥ 7:15pm flannery: hello!
	🥁 ♥ 7:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Patricia" by "Duane Eddy" A bed music natural.
	7:16pm Flash Strap: Hey Flannery!
	🥁 ♥ 7:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @7:14 yes me too was about to mention
	♥ 7:17pm Yvang: Hi Flash and explorers! Nice Duane set!
	🥁 ♥ 7:18pm tom tom the pipers son: isn’t there a pretty straight line from duane eddy to glenn branca?
	7:18pm Flash Strap: ↳ Samfiman @7:13 Duane and Lee were a lot like Nancy and Lee in a way, deeply intertwined in building a unique Lee-esque sound of spooky-cool western mythos. of course both recorded without Lee a lot, as they were extremely mainstream artists and had more MOR duties to attend to (and Duane pissed Lee off for a while when he signed a contract with Jamie records, so he had to self-produce during that time)
	7:20pm Flash Strap: hey Yvang! great to see ya!
	7:21pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Twisting Off A Cliff" by "Duane Eddy" vocals on this are incredible
	7:22pm Flash Strap: Anita Kerr handling vocal arrangements on Dance With The Guitar Man and Girls! Girls! Girls! (on the latter, along with the Jordanaires)
	♥ 7:22pm Yvang: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:18 With a stop at "Surfing Bird"...

	7:23pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:18 i don't see why not!
	🥁 ♥ 7:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @7:22 hah! yes...
	7:25pm Flash Strap: a whole water skiing album & it rocks. what a world
	7:30pm Flash Strap: on the early Lee & Duane recordings: "As the Phoenix studio had no echo chamber, Hazlewood bought a 2,000-gallon (7570-litre) water storage tank to use as an echo chamber to accentuate the "twangy" guitar sound"
	7:32pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "(Why Must I Die) The Girl on Death Row" by "Duane... that unmistakable Hazlewood voice
	7:36pm ?: how did hazlewood not have an album graphic with the hollywood sign spelling out “HAZLEWOOD"
	🥁 ♥ 7:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ^^^^^^^^^^me
	7:38pm Samfiman: ↳ Flash Strap @7:30 this tidbit makes me dream of Lee/Lee collaboration: Hazlewood & Perry (Duane meets Nancy in dub?) thanks for the info, and yet another glorious set right at the right time!
	♥ 7:44pm coelacanth∅: Ahoy Flash Strap, Explorers
	🥁 ♥ 7:44pm tom tom the pipers son: komeda did the rosemary’s baby sdtrk…correct?
	7:44pm Flash Strap: ↳ @7:36 damn i can perfectly picture that
	7:44pm Flash Strap: ↳ Samfiman @7:38 would die to hear that
	7:45pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:44 yes - also Knife in the Water, which is an incredible soundtrack
	7:45pm Flash Strap: hey Coelacanth!
	🥁 ♥ 7:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @7:45 ah...
	7:47pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "Choral and Repetition" by "Michal Urbaniak · Toma... guitar solo, but no guitarist credited for this track?
	7:47pm pot8o (on public computer): (attilla zoller plays guitar, but only on a2, a3, 1st part of b1, and b2)
	7:48pm Flash Strap: Rosemary's Baby was his final work before he died in a very unfortunate accident, pushed over by his best friend the writer Marek Hłasko while goofing off and later dying of hematoma
	7:49pm Flash Strap: ↳ pot8o (on public computer) @7:47 huh
	🥁 ♥ 7:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @7:48 hmmmm shame...
	7:51pm Flash Strap: destroyed by guilt and remorse, Marek Hłasko died under somewhat mysterious circumstances a few months later
	🥁 ♥ 7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @7:51 wow….why does it sound so characteristically central european
	7:53pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Sweet Lament" by "The German All-Stars" Bass – Günter Lenz Drums – Ralf Hübner Piano – Wolfgang Dauner Saxophone [Saxes] – Emil Mangelsdorff, Gerd Dudek, Heinz Sauer, Michel Pilz Trombone – Albert Mangelsdorff, Rudi Fuesers Trumpet – Ack Van Rooyen, Manfred Schoof Vocals – Willi Johanns
	7:53pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 it really does
	7:54pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Sweet Lament" by "The German All-Stars" crazy vocal from this guy
	7:57pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Flash Strap @7:54 yeah, really good, shame he doesn't have much output (although he was recording for ~30 years or so)
	♥ 7:57pm melinda: ↳ Song: "Cantaloupe Island" by "The Third Wave Arranged An... nice version
	7:57pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Cantaloupe Island" by "The Third Wave Arranged An... The Third Wave were a group of Filipino teenagers from Pasadena, if i recall correctly
	7:58pm Flash Strap: Hey Melinda!
	♥ 7:58pm melinda: There was a public affairs talk show on WBUR I used to listen to in the 90s that used Cantaloupe Island for its theme music, I liked it.
	7:58pm Flash Strap: ↳ pot8o (on public computer) @7:57 yeah i can't recall running into him on anything else
	8:00pm Flash Strap: ↳ melinda @7:58 Tony Williams and Freddie Hubbard on Herbie's original recording, lovely
	8:02pm Flash Strap: the incomparable Karin Krog everybody
	8:03pm pot8o (on public computer): was neat how mps was able to cross so many different genres, from easy listening to big band swing, to free jazz and prog rock
	8:04pm Flash Strap: ↳ pot8o (on public computer) @8:03 i love it, extremely open-eared label, facilitated a lot of wide-open stream-crossing
	8:07pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Es Läuft" by "Wolfgang Dauner Trio" such a San Francisco-in-1967 cover on this one. looks like it should be a picture sleeve for a Sopwith Camel single
	🥁 ♥ 8:08pm tom tom the pipers son: does dauner’s work have any ‘signature' to it other than as a sort of stylistic inquiry?
	8:10pm Flash Strap: His sound in the 70s is pretty recognizable - that organ & ring mod squiggle with lots of toothy metallic texture. but as a pianist more generally, my guess would be yes definitely but I'm not qualified to say
	🥁 ♥ 8:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @8:10 right … the question doesn’t have a lot behind it…i’ve just heard different sounding things so i was wondering esp on hearing the piano….
	8:13pm Flash Strap: ↳ Flash Strap @8:10 i think he's also one of those bandleader figures whose individual sound is often less important than the interesting ensembles he'd put together & lead and the pioneering "free"ness of the sessions
	🥁 ♥ 8:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @8:13 yes thx
	8:14pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:13 yeah Dauner definitely sounds "less Dauner" when he's not on that funky clavinet (to me)
	8:24pm Flash Strap: always incredible to hear Jeanne Lee, the immortal. She and Hampel were married
	🥁 ♥ 8:25pm northguineahills: was violently ill today. i either had food poisoning or the flu. the worst seems to be over, but it will probably take another day at least to get back to normal.
	8:25pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ northguineahills @8:25 get well soon!
	8:25pm Flash Strap: hey NGH! hate to hear it. maybe it's norovirus?
	8:26pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Psalmus Spei for Choir and Jazz Group" by "Wolfga... Bass – Jürgen Karg Cello – Eberhard Weber Conductor – Klaus Martin Ziegler Drums – Fred Braceful Organ, Melodica [Hohner-electra] – Wolfgang Dauner Tenor Saxophone – Gerd Dudek Trumpet – Manfred Schoof
	🥁 ♥ 8:26pm chresti: In the shower I kept hearing CHANGOoo
	🥁 ♥ 8:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Flash Strap @8:25 i've had a norovirus before, it was longer, but more predictable and less violent (i mean, there are many noroviruses)
	8:28pm Flash Strap: *now that's recognizably Dauner right there! that's The Sound
	🥁 ♥ 8:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:25 sorry to hear ngh...
	8:29pm Flash Strap: ↳ northguineahills @8:28 whatever it is man i hope it's short and ya get well fast

	8:32pm Flash Strap: ↳ chresti @8:26 hell yeah
	8:34pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "Psalmus Spei for Choir and Jazz Group" by "Wolfga... reminds me a little bit of michel puig's piece "provisoires agglomerats"
	8:35pm pot8o (on public computer): (some of trevor wishart's stuff sounds mildly like this too)
	8:35pm Flash Strap: ↳ pot8o (on public computer) @8:34 i'm not familiar, i should check it out
	8:39pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Al Hajj Malik Al Shabazz – For Malcolm X" by "El ... a Billy Brooks-led ensemble. really great live album
	🥁 ♥ 8:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Psalmus Spei for Choir and Jazz Group" by "Wolfga... i have a soft spot for latye modern cacophony like that
	8:40pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:40 me too. i love avant garde uses of choir, often
	🥁 ♥ 8:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @8:40 yeah it has a certain angle to it that puts an interpretive umbrella over the whole piece …if you know what i mean
	8:45pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:44 i think so too
	🥁 ♥ 8:51pm chresti: There's a DJ in LA that goes by Professor Cantaloupe

	8:57pm Flash Strap: ↳ flannery @8:56 they may not have been married yet but they were together. timeline is unclear & the marriage came later in the relationship i think

	🥁 ♥ 8:59pm flannery: maybe bc other free jazz power couples are more into it
	8:59pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Machukie's Cooking" by "Count Machuki" absurd stuff from machuki here! love the guy
	9:01pm Flash Strap: ↳ flannery @8:59 Jeanne really seems to keep a pretty mysterious profile, for a legend

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.

	♥ 7:06pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Song: "Mr. Guitar Man" by "Duane Eddy and The Rebels fea... Does anyone know readily what the original melody/tune is for this? Obviously not "Happy Xmas (War is Over)". What it actually reminds me of was the old "Come Back to Jamaica" ads.
	7:07pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Stalkin'" by "Duane Eddy" great Lee Hazlewood production on this star-making debut LP
	7:07pm Flash Strap: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @7:06 hey AJ! no idea but it's definitely reminiscent of a few different things for me too

	🥁 ♥ 7:11pm tom tom the pipers son: is 'girl on death row' and 'words mean nothing' a single title?…ha!
	🥁 ♥ 7:13pm Aitch: Above ground, ready to explore.
	♥ 7:13pm A.J. MACHETE: ↳ Song: "Lover" by "Duane Eddy and The Rebels" Ooh, Les Paul 2.0.
	7:13pm Samfiman: any more you have time and room to say about hazelwood as a producer would be appreciated! really enjoy some of his nancy sinatra tracks but didn't know anything beyond that...
	7:13pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:11 they're so stark and impactful there side by side! 2 different titles though. But wait'll you see the full original title for Girl on Death Row
	🥁 ♥ 7:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:11 i just woke from nap…a little bleary
	🥁 ♥ 7:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @7:13 very...
	7:14pm Flash Strap: Hey Aitch!
	🥁 ♥ 7:14pm WR: A whole set of Duane "The Twang is the Thang" Eddy? I'm in. Hello Flash Strap and folks.
	7:14pm Flash Strap: ↳ A.J. MACHETE @7:13 made me think of Chet Atkins
	7:15pm Flash Strap: Hey WR!
	7:15pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Patricia" by "Duane Eddy" love hearing him take on Patricia, a real slick mambo classic
	🥁 ♥ 7:15pm flannery: hello!
	🥁 ♥ 7:16pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Patricia" by "Duane Eddy" A bed music natural.
	7:16pm Flash Strap: Hey Flannery!
	🥁 ♥ 7:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @7:14 yes me too was about to mention
	♥ 7:17pm Yvang: Hi Flash and explorers! Nice Duane set!
	🥁 ♥ 7:18pm tom tom the pipers son: isn’t there a pretty straight line from duane eddy to glenn branca?
	7:18pm Flash Strap: ↳ Samfiman @7:13 Duane and Lee were a lot like Nancy and Lee in a way, deeply intertwined in building a unique Lee-esque sound of spooky-cool western mythos. of course both recorded without Lee a lot, as they were extremely mainstream artists and had more MOR duties to attend to (and Duane pissed Lee off for a while when he signed a contract with Jamie records, so he had to self-produce during that time)
	7:20pm Flash Strap: hey Yvang! great to see ya!
	7:21pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Twisting Off A Cliff" by "Duane Eddy" vocals on this are incredible
	7:22pm Flash Strap: Anita Kerr handling vocal arrangements on Dance With The Guitar Man and Girls! Girls! Girls! (on the latter, along with the Jordanaires)

	🥁 ♥ 7:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yvang @7:22 hah! yes...
	7:25pm Flash Strap: a whole water skiing album & it rocks. what a world
	7:30pm Flash Strap: on the early Lee & Duane recordings: "As the Phoenix studio had no echo chamber, Hazlewood bought a 2,000-gallon (7570-litre) water storage tank to use as an echo chamber to accentuate the "twangy" guitar sound"
	7:32pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "(Why Must I Die) The Girl on Death Row" by "Duane... that unmistakable Hazlewood voice
	7:36pm ?: how did hazlewood not have an album graphic with the hollywood sign spelling out “HAZLEWOOD"
	🥁 ♥ 7:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ^^^^^^^^^^me
	7:38pm Samfiman: ↳ Flash Strap @7:30 this tidbit makes me dream of Lee/Lee collaboration: Hazlewood & Perry (Duane meets Nancy in dub?) thanks for the info, and yet another glorious set right at the right time!
	♥ 7:44pm coelacanth∅: Ahoy Flash Strap, Explorers
	🥁 ♥ 7:44pm tom tom the pipers son: komeda did the rosemary’s baby sdtrk…correct?

	7:45pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:44 yes - also Knife in the Water, which is an incredible soundtrack
	7:45pm Flash Strap: hey Coelacanth!
	🥁 ♥ 7:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @7:45 ah...
	7:47pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Song: "Choral and Repetition" by "Michal Urbaniak · Toma... guitar solo, but no guitarist credited for this track?
	7:47pm pot8o (on public computer): (attilla zoller plays guitar, but only on a2, a3, 1st part of b1, and b2)
	7:48pm Flash Strap: Rosemary's Baby was his final work before he died in a very unfortunate accident, pushed over by his best friend the writer Marek Hłasko while goofing off and later dying of hematoma
	7:49pm Flash Strap: ↳ pot8o (on public computer) @7:47 huh
	🥁 ♥ 7:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @7:48 hmmmm shame...
	7:51pm Flash Strap: destroyed by guilt and remorse, Marek Hłasko died under somewhat mysterious circumstances a few months later
	🥁 ♥ 7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @7:51 wow….why does it sound so characteristically central european
	7:53pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Sweet Lament" by "The German All-Stars" Bass – Günter Lenz Drums – Ralf Hübner Piano – Wolfgang Dauner Saxophone [Saxes] – Emil Mangelsdorff, Gerd Dudek, Heinz Sauer, Michel Pilz Trombone – Albert Mangelsdorff, Rudi Fuesers Trumpet – Ack Van Rooyen, Manfred Schoof Vocals – Willi Johanns
	7:53pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 it really does
	7:54pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Sweet Lament" by "The German All-Stars" crazy vocal from this guy
	7:57pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ Flash Strap @7:54 yeah, really good, shame he doesn't have much output (although he was recording for ~30 years or so)
	♥ 7:57pm melinda: ↳ Song: "Cantaloupe Island" by "The Third Wave Arranged An... nice version
	7:57pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Cantaloupe Island" by "The Third Wave Arranged An... The Third Wave were a group of Filipino teenagers from Pasadena, if i recall correctly
	7:58pm Flash Strap: Hey Melinda!
	♥ 7:58pm melinda: There was a public affairs talk show on WBUR I used to listen to in the 90s that used Cantaloupe Island for its theme music, I liked it.
	7:58pm Flash Strap: ↳ pot8o (on public computer) @7:57 yeah i can't recall running into him on anything else
	8:00pm Flash Strap: ↳ melinda @7:58 Tony Williams and Freddie Hubbard on Herbie's original recording, lovely
	8:02pm Flash Strap: the incomparable Karin Krog everybody
	8:03pm pot8o (on public computer): was neat how mps was able to cross so many different genres, from easy listening to big band swing, to free jazz and prog rock
	8:04pm Flash Strap: ↳ pot8o (on public computer) @8:03 i love it, extremely open-eared label, facilitated a lot of wide-open stream-crossing
	8:07pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Es Läuft" by "Wolfgang Dauner Trio" such a San Francisco-in-1967 cover on this one. looks like it should be a picture sleeve for a Sopwith Camel single
	🥁 ♥ 8:08pm tom tom the pipers son: does dauner’s work have any ‘signature' to it other than as a sort of stylistic inquiry?
	8:10pm Flash Strap: His sound in the 70s is pretty recognizable - that organ & ring mod squiggle with lots of toothy metallic texture. but as a pianist more generally, my guess would be yes definitely but I'm not qualified to say
	🥁 ♥ 8:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @8:10 right … the question doesn’t have a lot behind it…i’ve just heard different sounding things so i was wondering esp on hearing the piano….
	8:13pm Flash Strap: ↳ Flash Strap @8:10 i think he's also one of those bandleader figures whose individual sound is often less important than the interesting ensembles he'd put together & lead and the pioneering "free"ness of the sessions
	🥁 ♥ 8:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @8:13 yes thx
	8:14pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:13 yeah Dauner definitely sounds "less Dauner" when he's not on that funky clavinet (to me)
	8:24pm Flash Strap: always incredible to hear Jeanne Lee, the immortal. She and Hampel were married
	🥁 ♥ 8:25pm northguineahills: was violently ill today. i either had food poisoning or the flu. the worst seems to be over, but it will probably take another day at least to get back to normal.
	8:25pm pot8o (on public computer): ↳ northguineahills @8:25 get well soon!
	8:25pm Flash Strap: hey NGH! hate to hear it. maybe it's norovirus?

	🥁 ♥ 8:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Flash Strap @8:25 i've had a norovirus before, it was longer, but more predictable and less violent (i mean, there are many noroviruses)
	8:28pm Flash Strap: *now that's recognizably Dauner right there! that's The Sound
	🥁 ♥ 8:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:25 sorry to hear ngh...

	8:35pm Flash Strap: ↳ pot8o (on public computer) @8:34 i'm not familiar, i should check it out
	8:39pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Al Hajj Malik Al Shabazz – For Malcolm X" by "El ... a Billy Brooks-led ensemble. really great live album

	8:40pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:40 me too. i love avant garde uses of choir, often
	🥁 ♥ 8:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Flash Strap @8:40 yeah it has a certain angle to it that puts an interpretive umbrella over the whole piece …if you know what i mean
	8:45pm Flash Strap: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:44 i think so too
	🥁 ♥ 8:51pm chresti: There's a DJ in LA that goes by Professor Cantaloupe

	8:59pm Flash Strap: ↳ Song: "Machukie's Cooking" by "Count Machuki" absurd stuff from machuki here! love the guy
	9:01pm Flash Strap: ↳ flannery @8:59 Jeanne really seems to keep a pretty mysterious profile, for a legend
