	7:05pm Flash Strap: thumbs up, ghost-who-walks
	7:06pm walkingTrees: it was news to me today that there is a sun araw / larraaji colab coming out
	7:08pm Flash Strap: oh cool. me too. I know there was a sun araw remix of a laraaji track for some thing, but this is the first i've heard of a collaboration
	7:09pm walkingTrees: http://www.superiorviaduct.com/products/laraaji-sun-araw-professional-sunflow-2xlp ryan tipped me off today
	7:10pm Flash Strap: cool. that's nice news indeed
	7:14pm northguineahills: Are you going to play any of Sun Araw's tracks they did in their residency in Jamaica?
	7:15pm Flash Strap: Ah, hello NGH! Yes, indeed. A little of everything tonight, which is just as well as I have five hours of show to boil
	7:19pm northguineahills: Sweet son of Aten!
	7:19pm spookcityusa: man heavy deeds is my fucking jam. favorite album of his fershure. nnf had a string of hits in that era.
	7:20pm Flash Strap: heya spook, what a pleasure it is to see you i'm all about On Patrol, myself. if I had to pick one
	7:21pm hyde: hiya
	7:22pm walkingTrees: ahoy ryan
	7:22pm spookcityusa: pleasure is all mine dream boat. on patrol is sikh. that split with predator vision is the headiest of zones.
	7:23pm spookcityusa: hey man! i see yr wining it up ;)
	7:23pm walkingTrees: too often!
	7:26pm hyde: luckily, i have an inordinate fondness for beetles
	7:30pm Flash Strap: so does god, as it goes
	7:31pm Flash Strap: also: Hi Hyde! great to have you in the lodge
	7:32pm hyde: there's nothing like a J.B.S. Haldane reference, i always say. glad to be here! this is stuff i don't know very well, so i'm settling in.
	7:34pm ndbob: indeed Hyde!
	7:35pm Doug Schulkind: Just realized that Sun Araw is War Anus backwards. Was I the last to know?
	7:36pm Flash Strap: I think, Doug, we should just cancel the show as we do our best to deal with this new information which you have brought to light for your fearless dedication to new discoveries, we applaud you
	7:36pm Flash Strap: W A R A N U S
	7:38pm Doug Schulkind: I figured it out with the help of my crack staff.
	7:41pm geezerette: HA!
	7:48pm walkingTrees: what's everyone reading nowadays? all my books are packed for a soon move and i need something for the interim
	7:50pm Flash Strap: war anus it just keeps pinging back in forth in my mind someone go back in time and tell the young black sabbath that you have a better idea for the opener of paranoid
	7:50pm Flash Strap: I just read Joseph Conrad's Victory, which was fascinating, but hardly great Conrad
	7:51pm walkingTrees: been wanting to crack into Lord Jim..
	7:52pm Flash Strap: probably a much better idea
	7:52pm walkingTrees: open to suggestions tho, thanks
	7:53pm Flash Strap: also just read Treasure Island. while it can be a little hard to make sure you aren't stuck with a 40's-era abridgment, it's a real hoot and a holler. a true boy's adventure tale
	7:54pm walkingTrees: oh yea...read that probably 10 years ago with a mind to revisit someday
	7:54pm Flash Strap: that's "just read (red)" not JUST READ (as in a command)
	7:54pm spookcityusa: just finished reading scum manifesto by valerie solanas. amazing amazing book. also, i think this is the song that got me into sun araw. heard it back in 09 offa dayvan zombear or one of the old old blogs
	7:55pm ndbob: been so long since I read Treasure Island
	7:55pm spookcityusa: have smoked so much weed to this album over the years
	7:55pm walkingTrees: evan i'm still trying to get some more info out of my amigo whose peruvian father attempted a heyerdahl type vovage
	7:55pm Flash Strap: this one is so massive. the rhythm guitar layers are fuckin profound
	7:56pm walkingTrees: ha same typo
	7:56pm Flash Strap: oh man yeah keep on that one. keep me posted
	7:57pm ndbob: excellent first hour Evan - catch the rest later
	7:58pm Flash Strap: thanks bob! come back any time, hell i'm here till midnight
	7:59pm walkingTrees: will do..the cats got some paws on him....he is in northern russia at the moment
	7:59pm geezerette: Alice in Wonderland Through the Looking Glass Lewis Carroll was funny :) www.alice-in-wonderland.net
	7:59pm Flash Strap: MAN, i need to read that again, geezerette
	8:00pm hyde: late to the reading q. now reading: the association of small bombs by karan mahajan. next up: the chrysanthemum and the sword by ruth benedict.
	8:00pm walkingTrees: cant wait to add to the clouds with you soon in the pnw spook!
	8:01pm geezerette: Evan I'm overdue for a visit myself!
	8:01pm Flash Strap: also about to get back into Joseph Lanza's Elevator Music, which is so key to certain studies
	8:01pm melinda: hi friends!
	8:02pm geezerette: hey melinda!
	8:02pm walkingTrees: recently reread "the snow leopard" by peter mattiessen...such lovely account of loss, Himalayan mountaineering and inward reflection
	8:03pm melinda: I like War Anus already.
	8:04pm melinda: hi geeze!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Melinda, welcome to the Guerre de Anus!
	8:05pm walkingTrees: https://desertpeace.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/20071108174408anus.gif
	8:06pm geezerette: Careful where you sit.
	8:11pm Alex In Illinois: I brought a knife and fork
	8:11pm walkingTrees: if y'all can dig graphic novels i think the Corto Maltese books would go well with the explorers club
	8:13pm hyde: i love those books, walkingTrees!
	8:14pm Flash Strap: Hello Alex with the knife and fork!
	8:18pm walkingTrees: nice hyde! you ever get into any of moebius' work? he and jodo did a few colabs...the incal..great stuff
	8:19pm walkingTrees: hyde do you have anything in the vein of Corto you could recommend?
	8:20pm Flash Strap: I should read those books. I love that style
	8:24pm walkingTrees: corto is great...found those books right after discovering tintin as a wee lad
	8:24pm walkingTrees: --music to read comics to-- right here
	8:25pm Flash Strap: oh boy have I ever read every tintin 20 times. tintin is so insane
	8:25pm hyde: yeah, i know Moebius. i've bought some issues of Heavy Metal in my time! don't know that much else in the vein of Hugo Pratt. a lot of what looks good in European adventure comics seems to be untranslated. there's not much of a market for it here, i don't think.
	8:27pm walkingTrees: ha, im slowly collecting issues of Heavy Metal from the start...moebius' work has been unavailable for a long time in the states but i think some stuff is getting republished later this year
	8:33pm hyde: the thing i really want to read is The Eternaut, written by Héctor Germán Oesterheld (who wrote some strip stuff that Hugo Pratt did art for) and drawn by the Argentine Francisco Solano Lopez. Fantagraphics published it in English a few years back, but I missed it and now it's rare and really expensive.
	8:33pm walkingTrees: dude same here! that republishing looks amazing but the prices have skyrocketed
	8:40pm walkingTrees: evan: favorite tintin?
	8:41pm Flash Strap: oh man hard to say
	8:43pm walkingTrees: blue lotus was my first and probably fav
	8:43pm SUNARAW: TOOK A MOMENT FROM MIXING THE NEW ALBUM TO CHUNE INN nice pickks flashmane
	8:44pm Flash Strap: The Red Sea Sharks is pretty awesome
	8:45pm hyde: Blue Lotus is my fave too
	8:45pm Flash Strap: thanks for takin a mo, mista'Araw
	8:45pm Flash Strap: lookin forward to the new thing
	8:45pm SUNARAW: ME TOO FLASHMANE
	8:46pm Flash Strap: also really like Secret of the Unicorn & Red Rackham's Treasure
	8:46pm Flash Strap: you mixin the new Laraaji thing?
	8:47pm Little Danny: Flash! Just made it to a computer. So glad to be here.
	8:47pm SUNARAW: NOOP new SUN ARAW album PROPER hot noodles
	8:47pm hyde: i don't think i've ever read Red Rackham's Treasure. should probably do that.
	8:47pm Flash Strap: Little Danny! What are you doing here? shouldn't you be in bed mister
	8:47pm SUNARAW: OF LENGTH AND BREADTH AND SCOPE WHENCE UNHEARD!
	8:47pm walkingTrees: looking forward to it SA
	8:47pm Flash Strap: DANG that is hot noodles! What's the deal? What can you confide?
	8:49pm Flash Strap: well if there's extra length and breadth then color me anticipurple with anticipation
	8:49pm Flash Strap: i love massive scopes
	8:50pm SUNARAW: A TURN never taken
	8:50pm walkingTrees: tintin and snowy: Prisoners of the Sunaraw
	8:51pm SUNARAW: FLASHMAN EXCLUSIVE: "Don't Bruise my Gila"
	8:51pm SUNARAW: FLASHMAN EXCLUSIVE: "Don't Bruise my Gila"
	8:52pm Flash Strap: I trust this will all make sense in time
	8:53pm SUNARAW: TRUST
	8:54pm Flash Strap: thumbs up, salute
	8:55pm SUNARAW: OUTSKIES, fly straight flashmane
	8:56pm Flash Strap: raised fist
	8:57pm coelacanth: Hello Evan and Explorers
	8:58pm Flash Strap: the last real Tintin, Tintin and the Picaros, is far from the best but is real real weird. I love when Hergé gets his rather simple understanding of geopolitics involved in pastiches of extremely complicated insurrectionist goings-on
	8:59pm onoma: i wonder which instrument is on your mind right now, Gila. wonderful, wonderful music
	9:00pm Flash Strap: Hello, Coelacanth! and explorer Onoma!
	9:00pm walkingTrees: that was the beauty of tintin (and herge) the evolution, some people are quick to point to the understandably offensive material in Tintin in the Congo.. but herge was growing and evolving the whole time
	9:03pm walkingTrees: oh man, i wish: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VPMVbOKhKuU/TtUi_uK0aRI/AAAAAAAAABk/weUdUQP1yqQ/s1600/tintin-lovecraft-01.jpg
	9:04pm onoma: fantastic show, Flash! i agree with every single thing you said earlier, it's really some of the most inventive, profound and mesmerizing music of this century...saw them twice in Paris, i won't ever miss an occasion to see them live
	9:05pm Flash Strap: I agree. And I love Tintin with all my heart. Such an alt-dimension portrait of Europe and its empire in the early 20th century, with every panel a perfect cinematic composition. That said, Hergé's racist tendencies/anti-semitic sympathies, while they did evolve significantly, are embarrassing and should always be noted and criticized. it's the only way to really save the work, I think. That is why Blue Lotus is so fascinating though, it;s a portrait of a man critiquing his own racial attitudes toward the Chinese
	9:06pm Flash Strap: Thanks Onoma! would love to catch this stuff live... have never had the opportunity
	9:09pm walkingTrees: tintint in tibet i believe solidifies your point. perhaps born flawed, tintin (herge) grew out of such narrow mindedness with time, and in my opinion is forgiven for past short comings
	9:10pm Flash Strap: man, you never know where we'll end up... who would have thought we'd talk about tintin so much during a sun araw show anybody get into the punishing punnery of the asterix comics?
	9:11pm Flash Strap: similar format, same part of the library
	9:11pm walkingTrees: excuse typos por favor....indica fingers
	9:11pm Little Danny: @Flash - not sleeping, just paying my folks a visit in Hershey, PA, my hometown and the land of crappy-ass chocolate. Man, your show is a much-needed infusion of cosmic beauty.
	9:13pm Flash Strap: so glad to have you, and looking forward to annexing your slot in an hour PA chocolate no good? I have never heard anything about PA choco at all and gladder than glad to inject some cosmos into your woulder-ice night
	9:13pm Flash Strap: oh god, right: HERSHEY
	9:14pm Flash Strap: man, I love this weird-ass track
	9:14pm walkingTrees: heresy in terms of cocoa
	9:15pm walkingTrees: this is good. the dog above us is going nuts tonight with these tunes
	9:15pm hyde: i've read a couple of the Goscinny Asterix. they were ok, but i didn't love the ones i read. probably should delve deeper, someday.
	9:15pm Flash Strap: this is true. it is known. although i've been told by many a chef that hershey's syrup is pretty much irreplaceable for certain drizzle-requirements
	9:16pm Little Danny: Looks like you've already served up some o' my faves: "Luther," "Horse Steppin'." If you're scrambling for tracks, I'd love "Thoughts Are Bells," "Bridal Filly" or "That Geosynchronous Feeling."
	9:16pm Little Danny: SUN ARAW GODDAMN
	9:17pm melinda: Who is depicted in the GIF at the top of the playlist?
	9:17pm Little Danny: You a Bitchin' Bajas fan, Flash?
	9:17pm Flash Strap: what i like about asterix, which is sort of dumb (i mean, i learned to love them as a kid and that's the key), is that it's vaguely about local insurrection and that it's caricatures are Fellini-Satyricon grotesqueries
	9:18pm Flash Strap: *its dammit
	9:19pm walkingTrees: any more comics in the vein of islands and planets that anyone cares to recommend?
	9:19pm walkingTrees: i dig the bitches danny boy
	9:21pm hyde: i am just now realizing that my local library system has tons of both Goscinny's Asterix and Lucky Luke books. must request! (i love the look of the art by Morris in Lucky Luke).
	9:24pm Flash Strap: @Melinda I'm not sure who that is. it's from a Kenneth Anger film.
	9:25pm spookcityusa: open up the gates is my favorite cut from this album
	9:25pm walkingTrees: hands down my favorite reggae lp...Heart of the Congos. 'Epic" if i might say
	9:26pm walkingTrees: lucky to have scored the Blood and Fire 2LP anmd CD release of this years ago...beautiful packages
	9:27pm onoma: for me it's the track Nicodemus, when Lee Perry breaks the track in the middle and gives a true dub lesson...volume is way up right now!
	9:27pm melinda: Whoever it is I like it, seems appropriate for the show.
	9:27pm Flash Strap: @Danny: I only kind of like Bitchin Bajas, but maybe i need to give them another shot. They strike me as hewing a little too close to ersatz motorik, and thus make me want to listen to the real thing
	9:28pm walkingTrees: melinda..this is a must for reggae collection....get the version with extended versions/dubs
	9:29pm Flash Strap: @melinda and everyone: if you've never seen Kenneth Anger's films, they;re the coolest craziest things ever made
	9:30pm walkingTrees: where to start with anger?
	9:30pm Little Danny: @Flash, that's an excellent and not-inaccurate observation re: BB's. Their newer albums have gotten more ambient/textural and less motorik- erivative fwiw.
	9:31pm coelacanth: i have a 2-lp comp called "blood and fire" by Niney (as producer) "and friends". should i assume it's only indirectly related?
	9:31pm hyde: i'd start on Anger with SCORPIO RISING, myself
	9:31pm Little Danny: @walkingTrees Kustom Kar Kommandos is incredible. It also added a layer of psycho-sexual depth to the Paris Sisters, whom I'm loved since.
	9:32pm Flash Strap: i need to check em out, that's a development to keep eyes on. plus your word means worlds, D
	9:32pm Little Danny: Thanks Flash!
	9:32pm walkingTrees: blood and fire was a UK based reggae re-ish label
	9:33pm melinda: I've seen clips but not a whole film. Will look into it.
	9:33pm hyde: a readthrough of Anger's Hollywood Babylon is also an amusing way to get started
	9:34pm walkingTrees: lots of great stuff on that label....if you can find the gatefold Heart of the Congos on the B&F label pick it up! truly one of the best reggae albums in my opinion and that version has the extended tracks and dubs. perry at some of his finest
	9:34pm Flash Strap: any point is a good starting point with Anger I've never read Hollywood babylon, Hyde. It seems insane. That story about FW Murnau dying in a car accident while having inappropriate times with an underage island boy... so inflammatory and criminally juicy
	9:36pm onoma: writing the name Babylon while blasting the Congos...
	9:36pm walkingTrees: thanks for the tips...gotta check out this anger cat
	9:36pm hyde: @melinda fwiw, Youtube is loaded with Kenneth Anger movies, mostly of not the greatest ripped from VHS quality, but a good quick sampler. @Flash it's a pack of lies, but it's a great read
	9:37pm walkingTrees: f'ing love this album....love that cedic falsetto
	9:38pm Flash Strap: @Trees I was trolling that fandor site for anger a while back, i don't think with any luck watched Meshes in the afternoon though, and it doesn't get much better than that.
	9:38pm walkingTrees: *cedric
	9:39pm walkingTrees: @flash...fandor is amazing....have you made any finds?
	9:40pm Little Danny: Yes, Meshes in the Afternoon! Deren is tops.
	9:40pm walkingTrees: fandor's mobile app is shit...doesn't show the depth of what they offer. and their new site design can prove tricky to browse by genre but if you muddle around you'll be rewarded
	9:41pm geezerette: You Kenneth Anger fans;"Rabbit Moon","Eau d' Artifice", and the singular Cameron as the witch-like sort of Black rather than White Rabbit character in the Dennis Hopper film,"Night Tide".
	9:42pm Flash Strap: haven't fiddled around too much yet... some more Maya Deren on there that I need to check out though. She's so ggooooooooodddd
	9:43pm Flash Strap: and this is a belated gracias, WT. you know why. Spook too
	9:43pm geezerette: Agree! LOVING the music!!!
	9:43pm walkingTrees: @flash do you need a login?
	9:44pm Flash Strap: my favorite duppy gun track, here. such a bizarre, unique project
	9:44pm walkingTrees: ah ok, de nada. i think the login/pw is the same. if not let me know
	9:46pm hyde: since we're talking weird experimental short movies, i'm gonna share my most recent fave find on Youtube. Films by Takashi, Ito from the 80's. They're amazing. SPACY (www.youtube.com...), GHOST (www.youtube.com...), THUNDER (www.youtube.com...).
	9:47pm spookcityusa: oh we got high to invocation of my demon brother the other night. i discovered him in my early twenties. what a total game changer. also, maya deren is the shit if y'all are so inclined
	9:47pm hyde: there should not be a comma there, it's Takashi Ito
	9:47pm Flash Strap: Oh, I need to watch those, Hyde. Takashi is cool man
	9:48pm hyde: there's one called SCREW, too, that's pretty good
	9:49pm Flash Strap: not all the time, but certainly WHILE I AM WATCHING IT, Meshes in the Afternoon is the greatest film I've ever seen
	9:49pm Flash Strap: this shit is c-o-o-l right here
	9:50pm onoma: such a killer track right now!!! first time i hear this, so good!
	9:50pm spookcityusa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BIYV3BLcno some dude cut up takashi's film & made a great video for andy stott
	9:51pm hyde: haha, that's awesome
	9:54pm Flash Strap: @onoma: yeah i've only heard it one other time. a little birdie hooked me up with and I have very little idea of its provenance or availability in the world at large. should be a big radio hit though
	9:54pm geezerette: Hyde thanks for sharing Takashi! WOW! Works to this music too.
	9:57pm hyde: geezerette, try this one out. i forgot THIS was my fave short film find on Youtube recently. (and it's silent. also for once, it's on Youtube but it's not all artifact-y) LIGHTS (1966) by Marie Menken: www.youtube.com...
	9:57pm spookcityusa: one other weird film guy that i have been obsessed with is george melies. pure fucking black magic
	9:59pm geezerette: Thanks Hyde!
	10:00pm walkingTrees: oh man, these vibrations are perfect with this raging thunda an lightin storm we got going on here right now!
	10:00pm melinda: Thanks for the links Hyde. Maya Deren, her name keeps coming up, I need to check her out too.
	10:00pm onoma: just want to share this little thing before i leave, try and listen to the track "sunshower" by dr buzzard's savannah band, it's...it's...incredible, the intro sounds exactly like Sun Araw's guitar! give it a try. it's from 1976
	10:01pm spookcityusa: meshes of the afternoon by maya deren is one of the most beautiful films i have ever seen
	10:03pm Flash Strap: will do Onoma Melies is perfect magic, Spook. Crazy how some of the best films ever are the first films As far as exp. film recommendations go, I gotta throw John Whitney into the mix. The Matrix is amazing
	10:03pm hyde: @onoma that tune got sampled a lot
	10:07pm coelacanth: Thanks Evan. Excellent program! ciao
	10:07pm geezerette: spookcityusa: Yep! Lumiere and Maurice Tourneur too!
	10:11pm coelacanth: oh, you're not finished! that's Great! but is Little Danny okay?
	10:12pm geezerette: Lotte Reiniger too,from the 20s.(Yes John Whitney!) (Yes early silents!)
	10:13pm Little Danny: @coelacanth Ha, yes, I'm great. Just away from TX for 2+ weeks.
	10:15pm hyde: later, coelacanth! @Flash James Whitney made some cool movies too. I think these guys were brothers? YANTRA is great (www.youtube.com...). i also noticed lately there's a whole bunch of good HD transfers of Jordan Belson movies for rent on Vimeo, but i haven't done that yet.
	10:15pm coelacanth: Ha,okay! cool.
	10:15pm Flash Strap: Haha yeah I should have mentioned: there is no cause for alarm! Danny is not just okay but great
	10:16pm hyde: @geezerette i just made my way thru a whole slew of the earlier Reiniger shorts. Amazing.
	10:16pm coelacanth: hey hyde, i'm not leaving i thought Evan was! i'm not paying enough attention i guess.
	10:17pm Little Danny: Especially now that I'm vibing on all this reverb!
	10:17pm Flash Strap: oh alright! i thought you were leaving too, C. glad to keep you on as we plow forward into the midnight
	10:17pm hyde: @coelacanth welcome back!
	10:18pm Flash Strap: this track just P U M M E L S
	10:19pm walkingTrees: this track is bringing the lighting over my abode
	10:19pm walkingTrees: these storms are what i will miss most of the front range, colorado.
	10:20pm Flash Strap: man, I forgot you were movin, WT. how goes the prep and where exactly is the destination?
	10:21pm coelacanth: Damnnn...
	10:23pm Flash Strap: I just 100% love this track. This is proper fucking psychedelic guitar music on every level, past present and future
	10:23pm walkingTrees: oregon bound in a couple weeks...can't wait to get back to the land of evergreen! colorado has been nice but way too dry for my tastes...and sinuses.
	10:24pm Flash Strap: from beautiful to beautiful. you pick nice places, WT
	10:24pm walkingTrees: i think this was my first listen to these guys...from the jungle shadows...
	10:25pm Flash Strap: heck yes
	10:28pm walkingTrees: cannot downplay the enjoyment received from those first 2 JS mixes...my sound track moving south from seattle to san Francisco
	10:30pm hyde: okie doke, time for me to drift off to sleepytown. night all. thanks Flash!
	10:30pm Flash Strap: I'm so glad they had a home in your moving car. i loved those mixes when i made them. I always want to make a new mix and I will but it's like i'm doing exactly that every week on the show here
	10:31pm Flash Strap: night night, comrade hyde
	10:31pm walkingTrees: also must credit spook if he is still here..you 2 have been a wonderful source of sounds. my hats off, truly.
	10:31pm coelacanth: g'night hyde.
	10:32pm Flash Strap: yeah spook is a font of good sounds and a man of taste
	10:33pm walkingTrees: the show is fire flash. wish i could tune in live more often!
	10:35pm Flash Strap: i wish that as well! and gracias
	10:37pm walkingTrees: likely... with this move i have learned my lesson not to sacrifice being able to crank tunes with a slightly nicer view ;)
	10:38pm Flash Strap: how do you mean?
	10:44pm Flash Strap: from here on we move into weirder territory still. off trail excursions and unedited improvs
	10:45pm coelacanth: i'm looking for a new abode now. i don't respond to the ones that say "...in a quiet house."
	10:47pm geezerette: March on fearless leader.
	10:48pm Flash Strap: @ C: you just can't, not if you listen to music at all
	10:49pm walkingTrees: accidentally moved into an affordable (by my previous san francisco standards) apt in a snooty neighborhood in boulder. the area, including denver, is void of cultural things im into overall. also the normal occurrence of crossing a raging river over a downed tree on an impromptu weekday hike in the northwest soothes me as a drift off into slumber at night... also i can't properly play and make music where i am due to neighbors.
	10:50pm Flash Strap: that's the worst man
	10:50pm Flash Strap: so i shall, Geezerette
	10:51pm walkingTrees: hey, i'm packing boxes as we type! its good
	10:52pm walkingTrees: where are you coelacanth?
	10:53pm Flash Strap: yeah and where are you moving?
	10:54pm Flash Strap: I only heard this particular tape in the last week. really been enjoying it
	10:55pm walkingTrees: great sequencing with all this sun araw
	10:56pm Flash Strap: i try
	10:59pm Little Danny: Deeper and deeper you go Evan. Thanks for the great show. (And for filling in!)
	11:01pm walkingTrees: evan are you able to see how many live connected feeds you have?
	11:02pm walkingTrees: out of curiosity.... number regardless.
	11:02pm Flash Strap: My great pleasure, LD. I wish, WT!
	11:02pm Flash Strap: I'd be very curious as well
	11:07pm Flash Strap: god this one is bazonkers

	11:09pm walkingTrees: damn who is that? snake crown....aten?
	11:09pm walkingTrees: Akhenaten!
	11:10pm coelacanth: 'sorry.....i live in new paltz ny, and i'd like to stay near there but it's too expensive if i don't find a house-share situation; and that's always questionable, even with folks you've been friendly with for a few years.
	11:10pm Flash Strap: i don't even know! Egyptian mythology is largely unknown to me. wish i knew more
	11:14pm geezerette: Monotheist Pharoah. Sun was the deity.
	11:14pm Flash Strap: @C: no kidding
	11:15pm Flash Strap: tell me more, G!
	11:20pm geezerette: www.crystalinks.com...
	11:21pm geezerette: great images in that link. :)
	11:21pm walkingTrees: if its Akhenaten..he's Nefertiti man. and yes a there is one god man..must have been such a hard sell then, monotheism?
	11:22pm Flash Strap: wow, the heretic king. I can see Anger's affinity for him, in that case
	11:26pm Flash Strap: only the 2nd time i've heard this one since it arrived
	11:28pm walkingTrees: he lives in la, ya?
	11:29pm Flash Strap: b'lieve so

	7:04pm Flash Strap: Welcome to the quest, Seekerette
	7:04pm walkingTrees: white vino and indica in this corner
	7:05pm Flash Strap: thumbs up, ghost-who-walks
	7:06pm walkingTrees: it was news to me today that there is a sun araw / larraaji colab coming out
	7:08pm Flash Strap: oh cool. me too. I know there was a sun araw remix of a laraaji track for some thing, but this is the first i've heard of a collaboration
	7:09pm walkingTrees: http://www.superiorviaduct.com/products/laraaji-sun-araw-professional-sunflow-2xlp ryan tipped me off today
	7:10pm Flash Strap: cool. that's nice news indeed
	7:14pm northguineahills: Are you going to play any of Sun Araw's tracks they did in their residency in Jamaica?
	7:15pm Flash Strap: Ah, hello NGH! Yes, indeed. A little of everything tonight, which is just as well as I have five hours of show to boil
	7:19pm northguineahills: Sweet son of Aten!
	7:19pm spookcityusa: man heavy deeds is my fucking jam. favorite album of his fershure. nnf had a string of hits in that era.
	7:20pm Flash Strap: heya spook, what a pleasure it is to see you i'm all about On Patrol, myself. if I had to pick one
	7:21pm hyde: hiya
	7:22pm walkingTrees: ahoy ryan
	7:22pm spookcityusa: pleasure is all mine dream boat. on patrol is sikh. that split with predator vision is the headiest of zones.
	7:23pm spookcityusa: hey man! i see yr wining it up ;)
	7:23pm walkingTrees: too often!
	7:26pm hyde: luckily, i have an inordinate fondness for beetles
	7:30pm Flash Strap: so does god, as it goes
	7:31pm Flash Strap: also: Hi Hyde! great to have you in the lodge
	7:32pm hyde: there's nothing like a J.B.S. Haldane reference, i always say. glad to be here! this is stuff i don't know very well, so i'm settling in.
	7:34pm ndbob: indeed Hyde!
	7:35pm Doug Schulkind: Just realized that Sun Araw is War Anus backwards. Was I the last to know?
	7:36pm Flash Strap: I think, Doug, we should just cancel the show as we do our best to deal with this new information which you have brought to light for your fearless dedication to new discoveries, we applaud you
	7:36pm Flash Strap: W A R A N U S
	7:38pm Doug Schulkind: I figured it out with the help of my crack staff.
	7:41pm geezerette: HA!
	7:48pm walkingTrees: what's everyone reading nowadays? all my books are packed for a soon move and i need something for the interim
	7:50pm Flash Strap: war anus it just keeps pinging back in forth in my mind someone go back in time and tell the young black sabbath that you have a better idea for the opener of paranoid
	7:50pm Flash Strap: I just read Joseph Conrad's Victory, which was fascinating, but hardly great Conrad
	7:51pm walkingTrees: been wanting to crack into Lord Jim..
	7:52pm Flash Strap: probably a much better idea
	7:52pm walkingTrees: open to suggestions tho, thanks
	7:53pm Flash Strap: also just read Treasure Island. while it can be a little hard to make sure you aren't stuck with a 40's-era abridgment, it's a real hoot and a holler. a true boy's adventure tale
	7:54pm walkingTrees: oh yea...read that probably 10 years ago with a mind to revisit someday
	7:54pm Flash Strap: that's "just read (red)" not JUST READ (as in a command)
	7:54pm spookcityusa: just finished reading scum manifesto by valerie solanas. amazing amazing book. also, i think this is the song that got me into sun araw. heard it back in 09 offa dayvan zombear or one of the old old blogs
	7:55pm ndbob: been so long since I read Treasure Island
	7:55pm spookcityusa: have smoked so much weed to this album over the years
	7:55pm walkingTrees: evan i'm still trying to get some more info out of my amigo whose peruvian father attempted a heyerdahl type vovage
	7:55pm Flash Strap: this one is so massive. the rhythm guitar layers are fuckin profound
	7:56pm walkingTrees: ha same typo
	7:56pm Flash Strap: oh man yeah keep on that one. keep me posted
	7:57pm ndbob: excellent first hour Evan - catch the rest later
	7:58pm Flash Strap: thanks bob! come back any time, hell i'm here till midnight
	7:59pm walkingTrees: will do..the cats got some paws on him....he is in northern russia at the moment
	7:59pm geezerette: Alice in Wonderland Through the Looking Glass Lewis Carroll was funny :) www.alice-in-wonderland.net
	7:59pm Flash Strap: MAN, i need to read that again, geezerette
	8:00pm hyde: late to the reading q. now reading: the association of small bombs by karan mahajan. next up: the chrysanthemum and the sword by ruth benedict.
	8:00pm walkingTrees: cant wait to add to the clouds with you soon in the pnw spook!
	8:01pm geezerette: Evan I'm overdue for a visit myself!
	8:01pm Flash Strap: also about to get back into Joseph Lanza's Elevator Music, which is so key to certain studies
	8:01pm melinda: hi friends!
	8:02pm geezerette: hey melinda!
	8:02pm walkingTrees: recently reread "the snow leopard" by peter mattiessen...such lovely account of loss, Himalayan mountaineering and inward reflection
	8:03pm melinda: I like War Anus already.
	8:04pm melinda: hi geeze!
	8:04pm Flash Strap: Melinda, welcome to the Guerre de Anus!
	8:05pm walkingTrees: https://desertpeace.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/20071108174408anus.gif
	8:06pm geezerette: Careful where you sit.
	8:11pm Alex In Illinois: I brought a knife and fork
	8:11pm walkingTrees: if y'all can dig graphic novels i think the Corto Maltese books would go well with the explorers club
	8:13pm hyde: i love those books, walkingTrees!
	8:14pm Flash Strap: Hello Alex with the knife and fork!
	8:18pm walkingTrees: nice hyde! you ever get into any of moebius' work? he and jodo did a few colabs...the incal..great stuff
	8:19pm walkingTrees: hyde do you have anything in the vein of Corto you could recommend?
	8:20pm Flash Strap: I should read those books. I love that style
	8:24pm walkingTrees: corto is great...found those books right after discovering tintin as a wee lad
	8:24pm walkingTrees: --music to read comics to-- right here
	8:25pm Flash Strap: oh boy have I ever read every tintin 20 times. tintin is so insane
	8:25pm hyde: yeah, i know Moebius. i've bought some issues of Heavy Metal in my time! don't know that much else in the vein of Hugo Pratt. a lot of what looks good in European adventure comics seems to be untranslated. there's not much of a market for it here, i don't think.
	8:27pm walkingTrees: ha, im slowly collecting issues of Heavy Metal from the start...moebius' work has been unavailable for a long time in the states but i think some stuff is getting republished later this year
	8:33pm hyde: the thing i really want to read is The Eternaut, written by Héctor Germán Oesterheld (who wrote some strip stuff that Hugo Pratt did art for) and drawn by the Argentine Francisco Solano Lopez. Fantagraphics published it in English a few years back, but I missed it and now it's rare and really expensive.
	8:33pm walkingTrees: dude same here! that republishing looks amazing but the prices have skyrocketed
	8:40pm walkingTrees: evan: favorite tintin?
	8:41pm Flash Strap: oh man hard to say
	8:43pm walkingTrees: blue lotus was my first and probably fav
	8:43pm SUNARAW: TOOK A MOMENT FROM MIXING THE NEW ALBUM TO CHUNE INN nice pickks flashmane
	8:44pm Flash Strap: The Red Sea Sharks is pretty awesome
	8:45pm hyde: Blue Lotus is my fave too
	8:45pm Flash Strap: thanks for takin a mo, mista'Araw
	8:45pm Flash Strap: lookin forward to the new thing
	8:45pm SUNARAW: ME TOO FLASHMANE
	8:46pm Flash Strap: also really like Secret of the Unicorn & Red Rackham's Treasure
	8:46pm Flash Strap: you mixin the new Laraaji thing?
	8:47pm Little Danny: Flash! Just made it to a computer. So glad to be here.
	8:47pm SUNARAW: NOOP new SUN ARAW album PROPER hot noodles
	8:47pm hyde: i don't think i've ever read Red Rackham's Treasure. should probably do that.
	8:47pm Flash Strap: Little Danny! What are you doing here? shouldn't you be in bed mister
	8:47pm SUNARAW: OF LENGTH AND BREADTH AND SCOPE WHENCE UNHEARD!
	8:47pm walkingTrees: looking forward to it SA
	8:47pm Flash Strap: DANG that is hot noodles! What's the deal? What can you confide?
	8:49pm Flash Strap: well if there's extra length and breadth then color me anticipurple with anticipation
	8:49pm Flash Strap: i love massive scopes
	8:50pm SUNARAW: A TURN never taken
	8:50pm walkingTrees: tintin and snowy: Prisoners of the Sunaraw
	8:51pm SUNARAW: FLASHMAN EXCLUSIVE: "Don't Bruise my Gila"
	8:51pm SUNARAW: FLASHMAN EXCLUSIVE: "Don't Bruise my Gila"
	8:52pm Flash Strap: I trust this will all make sense in time
	8:53pm SUNARAW: TRUST
	8:54pm Flash Strap: thumbs up, salute
	8:55pm SUNARAW: OUTSKIES, fly straight flashmane
	8:56pm Flash Strap: raised fist
	8:57pm coelacanth: Hello Evan and Explorers
	8:58pm Flash Strap: the last real Tintin, Tintin and the Picaros, is far from the best but is real real weird. I love when Hergé gets his rather simple understanding of geopolitics involved in pastiches of extremely complicated insurrectionist goings-on
	8:59pm onoma: i wonder which instrument is on your mind right now, Gila. wonderful, wonderful music
	9:00pm Flash Strap: Hello, Coelacanth! and explorer Onoma!
	9:00pm walkingTrees: that was the beauty of tintin (and herge) the evolution, some people are quick to point to the understandably offensive material in Tintin in the Congo.. but herge was growing and evolving the whole time
	9:03pm walkingTrees: oh man, i wish: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VPMVbOKhKuU/TtUi_uK0aRI/AAAAAAAAABk/weUdUQP1yqQ/s1600/tintin-lovecraft-01.jpg
	9:04pm onoma: fantastic show, Flash! i agree with every single thing you said earlier, it's really some of the most inventive, profound and mesmerizing music of this century...saw them twice in Paris, i won't ever miss an occasion to see them live
	9:05pm Flash Strap: I agree. And I love Tintin with all my heart. Such an alt-dimension portrait of Europe and its empire in the early 20th century, with every panel a perfect cinematic composition. That said, Hergé's racist tendencies/anti-semitic sympathies, while they did evolve significantly, are embarrassing and should always be noted and criticized. it's the only way to really save the work, I think. That is why Blue Lotus is so fascinating though, it;s a portrait of a man critiquing his own racial attitudes toward the Chinese
	9:06pm Flash Strap: Thanks Onoma! would love to catch this stuff live... have never had the opportunity
	9:09pm walkingTrees: tintint in tibet i believe solidifies your point. perhaps born flawed, tintin (herge) grew out of such narrow mindedness with time, and in my opinion is forgiven for past short comings
	9:10pm Flash Strap: man, you never know where we'll end up... who would have thought we'd talk about tintin so much during a sun araw show anybody get into the punishing punnery of the asterix comics?
	9:11pm Flash Strap: similar format, same part of the library
	9:11pm walkingTrees: excuse typos por favor....indica fingers
	9:11pm Little Danny: @Flash - not sleeping, just paying my folks a visit in Hershey, PA, my hometown and the land of crappy-ass chocolate. Man, your show is a much-needed infusion of cosmic beauty.
	9:13pm Flash Strap: so glad to have you, and looking forward to annexing your slot in an hour PA chocolate no good? I have never heard anything about PA choco at all and gladder than glad to inject some cosmos into your woulder-ice night
	9:13pm Flash Strap: oh god, right: HERSHEY
	9:14pm Flash Strap: man, I love this weird-ass track
	9:14pm walkingTrees: heresy in terms of cocoa
	9:15pm walkingTrees: this is good. the dog above us is going nuts tonight with these tunes
	9:15pm hyde: i've read a couple of the Goscinny Asterix. they were ok, but i didn't love the ones i read. probably should delve deeper, someday.
	9:15pm Flash Strap: this is true. it is known. although i've been told by many a chef that hershey's syrup is pretty much irreplaceable for certain drizzle-requirements
	9:16pm Little Danny: Looks like you've already served up some o' my faves: "Luther," "Horse Steppin'." If you're scrambling for tracks, I'd love "Thoughts Are Bells," "Bridal Filly" or "That Geosynchronous Feeling."
	9:16pm Little Danny: SUN ARAW GODDAMN
	9:17pm melinda: Who is depicted in the GIF at the top of the playlist?
	9:17pm Little Danny: You a Bitchin' Bajas fan, Flash?
	9:17pm Flash Strap: what i like about asterix, which is sort of dumb (i mean, i learned to love them as a kid and that's the key), is that it's vaguely about local insurrection and that it's caricatures are Fellini-Satyricon grotesqueries
	9:18pm Flash Strap: *its dammit
	9:19pm walkingTrees: any more comics in the vein of islands and planets that anyone cares to recommend?
	9:19pm walkingTrees: i dig the bitches danny boy
	9:21pm hyde: i am just now realizing that my local library system has tons of both Goscinny's Asterix and Lucky Luke books. must request! (i love the look of the art by Morris in Lucky Luke).
	9:24pm Flash Strap: @Melinda I'm not sure who that is. it's from a Kenneth Anger film.
	9:25pm spookcityusa: open up the gates is my favorite cut from this album
	9:25pm walkingTrees: hands down my favorite reggae lp...Heart of the Congos. 'Epic" if i might say
	9:26pm walkingTrees: lucky to have scored the Blood and Fire 2LP anmd CD release of this years ago...beautiful packages
	9:27pm onoma: for me it's the track Nicodemus, when Lee Perry breaks the track in the middle and gives a true dub lesson...volume is way up right now!
	9:27pm melinda: Whoever it is I like it, seems appropriate for the show.
	9:27pm Flash Strap: @Danny: I only kind of like Bitchin Bajas, but maybe i need to give them another shot. They strike me as hewing a little too close to ersatz motorik, and thus make me want to listen to the real thing
	9:28pm walkingTrees: melinda..this is a must for reggae collection....get the version with extended versions/dubs
	9:29pm Flash Strap: @melinda and everyone: if you've never seen Kenneth Anger's films, they;re the coolest craziest things ever made
	9:30pm walkingTrees: where to start with anger?
	9:30pm Little Danny: @Flash, that's an excellent and not-inaccurate observation re: BB's. Their newer albums have gotten more ambient/textural and less motorik- erivative fwiw.
	9:31pm coelacanth: i have a 2-lp comp called "blood and fire" by Niney (as producer) "and friends". should i assume it's only indirectly related?
	9:31pm hyde: i'd start on Anger with SCORPIO RISING, myself
	9:31pm Little Danny: @walkingTrees Kustom Kar Kommandos is incredible. It also added a layer of psycho-sexual depth to the Paris Sisters, whom I'm loved since.
	9:32pm Flash Strap: i need to check em out, that's a development to keep eyes on. plus your word means worlds, D
	9:32pm Little Danny: Thanks Flash!
	9:32pm walkingTrees: blood and fire was a UK based reggae re-ish label
	9:33pm melinda: I've seen clips but not a whole film. Will look into it.
	9:33pm hyde: a readthrough of Anger's Hollywood Babylon is also an amusing way to get started
	9:34pm walkingTrees: lots of great stuff on that label....if you can find the gatefold Heart of the Congos on the B&F label pick it up! truly one of the best reggae albums in my opinion and that version has the extended tracks and dubs. perry at some of his finest
	9:34pm Flash Strap: any point is a good starting point with Anger I've never read Hollywood babylon, Hyde. It seems insane. That story about FW Murnau dying in a car accident while having inappropriate times with an underage island boy... so inflammatory and criminally juicy
	9:36pm onoma: writing the name Babylon while blasting the Congos...
	9:36pm walkingTrees: thanks for the tips...gotta check out this anger cat
	9:36pm hyde: @melinda fwiw, Youtube is loaded with Kenneth Anger movies, mostly of not the greatest ripped from VHS quality, but a good quick sampler. @Flash it's a pack of lies, but it's a great read
	9:37pm walkingTrees: f'ing love this album....love that cedic falsetto
	9:38pm Flash Strap: @Trees I was trolling that fandor site for anger a while back, i don't think with any luck watched Meshes in the afternoon though, and it doesn't get much better than that.
	9:38pm walkingTrees: *cedric
	9:39pm walkingTrees: @flash...fandor is amazing....have you made any finds?
	9:40pm Little Danny: Yes, Meshes in the Afternoon! Deren is tops.
	9:40pm walkingTrees: fandor's mobile app is shit...doesn't show the depth of what they offer. and their new site design can prove tricky to browse by genre but if you muddle around you'll be rewarded
	9:41pm geezerette: You Kenneth Anger fans;"Rabbit Moon","Eau d' Artifice", and the singular Cameron as the witch-like sort of Black rather than White Rabbit character in the Dennis Hopper film,"Night Tide".
	9:42pm Flash Strap: haven't fiddled around too much yet... some more Maya Deren on there that I need to check out though. She's so ggooooooooodddd
	9:43pm Flash Strap: and this is a belated gracias, WT. you know why. Spook too
	9:43pm geezerette: Agree! LOVING the music!!!
	9:43pm walkingTrees: @flash do you need a login?
	9:44pm Flash Strap: my favorite duppy gun track, here. such a bizarre, unique project
	9:44pm walkingTrees: ah ok, de nada. i think the login/pw is the same. if not let me know
	9:46pm hyde: since we're talking weird experimental short movies, i'm gonna share my most recent fave find on Youtube. Films by Takashi, Ito from the 80's. They're amazing. SPACY (www.youtube.com...), GHOST (www.youtube.com...), THUNDER (www.youtube.com...).
	9:47pm spookcityusa: oh we got high to invocation of my demon brother the other night. i discovered him in my early twenties. what a total game changer. also, maya deren is the shit if y'all are so inclined
	9:47pm hyde: there should not be a comma there, it's Takashi Ito
	9:47pm Flash Strap: Oh, I need to watch those, Hyde. Takashi is cool man
	9:48pm hyde: there's one called SCREW, too, that's pretty good
	9:49pm Flash Strap: not all the time, but certainly WHILE I AM WATCHING IT, Meshes in the Afternoon is the greatest film I've ever seen
	9:49pm Flash Strap: this shit is c-o-o-l right here
	9:50pm onoma: such a killer track right now!!! first time i hear this, so good!
	9:50pm spookcityusa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BIYV3BLcno some dude cut up takashi's film & made a great video for andy stott
	9:51pm hyde: haha, that's awesome
	9:54pm Flash Strap: @onoma: yeah i've only heard it one other time. a little birdie hooked me up with and I have very little idea of its provenance or availability in the world at large. should be a big radio hit though
	9:54pm geezerette: Hyde thanks for sharing Takashi! WOW! Works to this music too.
	9:57pm hyde: geezerette, try this one out. i forgot THIS was my fave short film find on Youtube recently. (and it's silent. also for once, it's on Youtube but it's not all artifact-y) LIGHTS (1966) by Marie Menken: www.youtube.com...
	9:57pm spookcityusa: one other weird film guy that i have been obsessed with is george melies. pure fucking black magic
	9:59pm geezerette: Thanks Hyde!
	10:00pm walkingTrees: oh man, these vibrations are perfect with this raging thunda an lightin storm we got going on here right now!
	10:00pm melinda: Thanks for the links Hyde. Maya Deren, her name keeps coming up, I need to check her out too.
	10:00pm onoma: just want to share this little thing before i leave, try and listen to the track "sunshower" by dr buzzard's savannah band, it's...it's...incredible, the intro sounds exactly like Sun Araw's guitar! give it a try. it's from 1976
	10:01pm spookcityusa: meshes of the afternoon by maya deren is one of the most beautiful films i have ever seen
	10:03pm Flash Strap: will do Onoma Melies is perfect magic, Spook. Crazy how some of the best films ever are the first films As far as exp. film recommendations go, I gotta throw John Whitney into the mix. The Matrix is amazing
	10:03pm hyde: @onoma that tune got sampled a lot
	10:07pm coelacanth: Thanks Evan. Excellent program! ciao
	10:07pm geezerette: spookcityusa: Yep! Lumiere and Maurice Tourneur too!
	10:11pm coelacanth: oh, you're not finished! that's Great! but is Little Danny okay?
	10:12pm geezerette: Lotte Reiniger too,from the 20s.(Yes John Whitney!) (Yes early silents!)
	10:13pm Little Danny: @coelacanth Ha, yes, I'm great. Just away from TX for 2+ weeks.
	10:15pm hyde: later, coelacanth! @Flash James Whitney made some cool movies too. I think these guys were brothers? YANTRA is great (www.youtube.com...). i also noticed lately there's a whole bunch of good HD transfers of Jordan Belson movies for rent on Vimeo, but i haven't done that yet.
	10:15pm coelacanth: Ha,okay! cool.
	10:15pm Flash Strap: Haha yeah I should have mentioned: there is no cause for alarm! Danny is not just okay but great
	10:16pm hyde: @geezerette i just made my way thru a whole slew of the earlier Reiniger shorts. Amazing.
	10:16pm coelacanth: hey hyde, i'm not leaving i thought Evan was! i'm not paying enough attention i guess.
	10:17pm Little Danny: Especially now that I'm vibing on all this reverb!
	10:17pm Flash Strap: oh alright! i thought you were leaving too, C. glad to keep you on as we plow forward into the midnight
	10:17pm hyde: @coelacanth welcome back!
	10:18pm Flash Strap: this track just P U M M E L S
	10:19pm walkingTrees: this track is bringing the lighting over my abode
	10:19pm walkingTrees: these storms are what i will miss most of the front range, colorado.
	10:20pm Flash Strap: man, I forgot you were movin, WT. how goes the prep and where exactly is the destination?
	10:21pm coelacanth: Damnnn...
	10:23pm Flash Strap: I just 100% love this track. This is proper fucking psychedelic guitar music on every level, past present and future
	10:23pm walkingTrees: oregon bound in a couple weeks...can't wait to get back to the land of evergreen! colorado has been nice but way too dry for my tastes...and sinuses.
	10:24pm Flash Strap: from beautiful to beautiful. you pick nice places, WT
	10:24pm walkingTrees: i think this was my first listen to these guys...from the jungle shadows...
	10:25pm Flash Strap: heck yes
	10:28pm walkingTrees: cannot downplay the enjoyment received from those first 2 JS mixes...my sound track moving south from seattle to san Francisco
	10:30pm hyde: okie doke, time for me to drift off to sleepytown. night all. thanks Flash!
	10:30pm Flash Strap: I'm so glad they had a home in your moving car. i loved those mixes when i made them. I always want to make a new mix and I will but it's like i'm doing exactly that every week on the show here
	10:31pm Flash Strap: night night, comrade hyde
	10:31pm walkingTrees: also must credit spook if he is still here..you 2 have been a wonderful source of sounds. my hats off, truly.
	10:31pm coelacanth: g'night hyde.
	10:32pm Flash Strap: yeah spook is a font of good sounds and a man of taste
	10:33pm walkingTrees: the show is fire flash. wish i could tune in live more often!
	10:35pm Flash Strap: i wish that as well! and gracias
	10:37pm walkingTrees: likely... with this move i have learned my lesson not to sacrifice being able to crank tunes with a slightly nicer view ;)
	10:38pm Flash Strap: how do you mean?
	10:44pm Flash Strap: from here on we move into weirder territory still. off trail excursions and unedited improvs
	10:45pm coelacanth: i'm looking for a new abode now. i don't respond to the ones that say "...in a quiet house."
	10:47pm geezerette: March on fearless leader.
	10:48pm Flash Strap: @ C: you just can't, not if you listen to music at all
	10:49pm walkingTrees: accidentally moved into an affordable (by my previous san francisco standards) apt in a snooty neighborhood in boulder. the area, including denver, is void of cultural things im into overall. also the normal occurrence of crossing a raging river over a downed tree on an impromptu weekday hike in the northwest soothes me as a drift off into slumber at night... also i can't properly play and make music where i am due to neighbors.
	10:50pm Flash Strap: that's the worst man
	10:50pm Flash Strap: so i shall, Geezerette
	10:51pm walkingTrees: hey, i'm packing boxes as we type! its good
	10:52pm walkingTrees: where are you coelacanth?
	10:53pm Flash Strap: yeah and where are you moving?
	10:54pm Flash Strap: I only heard this particular tape in the last week. really been enjoying it
	10:55pm walkingTrees: great sequencing with all this sun araw
	10:56pm Flash Strap: i try
	10:59pm Little Danny: Deeper and deeper you go Evan. Thanks for the great show. (And for filling in!)
	11:01pm walkingTrees: evan are you able to see how many live connected feeds you have?
	11:02pm walkingTrees: out of curiosity.... number regardless.
	11:02pm Flash Strap: My great pleasure, LD. I wish, WT!
	11:02pm Flash Strap: I'd be very curious as well
	11:07pm Flash Strap: god this one is bazonkers
	11:08pm walkingTrees: ha yeah...zoning on the deity there with shaking ra!
	11:09pm walkingTrees: damn who is that? snake crown....aten?
	11:09pm walkingTrees: Akhenaten!
	11:10pm coelacanth: 'sorry.....i live in new paltz ny, and i'd like to stay near there but it's too expensive if i don't find a house-share situation; and that's always questionable, even with folks you've been friendly with for a few years.
	11:10pm Flash Strap: i don't even know! Egyptian mythology is largely unknown to me. wish i knew more
	11:14pm geezerette: Monotheist Pharoah. Sun was the deity.
	11:14pm Flash Strap: @C: no kidding
	11:15pm Flash Strap: tell me more, G!
	11:20pm geezerette: www.crystalinks.com...
	11:21pm geezerette: great images in that link. :)
	11:21pm walkingTrees: if its Akhenaten..he's Nefertiti man. and yes a there is one god man..must have been such a hard sell then, monotheism?
	11:22pm Flash Strap: wow, the heretic king. I can see Anger's affinity for him, in that case
	11:26pm Flash Strap: only the 2nd time i've heard this one since it arrived
	11:28pm walkingTrees: he lives in la, ya?
	11:29pm Flash Strap: b'lieve so
	11:30pm Flash Strap: guitars are so huge on this one
	11:34pm Flash Strap: think we got some bamboo sax in the mix here
	11:34pm walkingTrees: lady friend just asked if this was Can..
	11:36pm Flash Strap: someone call the president of compliments, I think that falls under his jurisdiction
	11:37pm geezerette: Can't believe you made five hours timeless. Glad to be introduced to this/these artists. 'Nother stellar job Evan!
	11:39pm Flash Strap: glad to be of service, Geezerette! Thanks for stickin' with me in my time of endurance
	11:42pm geezerette: A pleasure as always.
