	10:08pm Little Danny: It was a discovery of mine in "the wilds," Evan. One of my fave finds of 2019
	10:09pm Flash Strap: what a find!
	10:11pm Matt from New Orleans: I know her song The Winds Kept Laughing from the Northern Soul scene

	10:14pm Little Danny: This reminds me a bit of "Whirlpool" now that you just played it on yer show, Flash
	10:14pm Flash Strap: just thinking that same thing!
	10:15pm ParUbi: Hey guys
	10:15pm Flash Strap: hi ParUbi!

	10:16pm Little Danny: Hi ParUbi, love the new avatar gif
	10:18pm Flash Strap: ooooooh yeah
	10:18pm ParUbi: Thanks, it's hyperdimensional
	10:19pm Flash Strap: wow wow
	10:20pm Flash Strap: this is deeeep
	10:20pm Matt from New Orleans: A true obscurity. I heard this slowed way down back in the late 90s.
	10:20pm Little Danny: @Flash: one of these years I'ma make a marathon premium composed entirely of R&B vocal group exotica
	10:21pm Flash Strap: oh my god please do it Danny
	10:21pm Flash Strap: i'd lose my mind
	📉 10:23pm JtotheK: hiya Flash, hiya Danny! (Flash - enjoyed the program this evening!)
	10:23pm Flash Strap: Hi JtotheK! thanks pal
	10:25pm Phillippe Bastille: @coel ah. Well, be a good uncle and show her the ropes!
	10:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Disco Danny!
	10:27pm Flash Strap: let's give Danny a fresh live pledge, just to wet his whistle! what a show, what a show
	10:28pm Little Danny: Heya Jason!
	10:28pm Little Danny: @Matt: I have my '70s moments
	10:29pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m well familiar with this tune and am a fan
	10:31pm Flash Strap: damn that drum sound
	10:31pm Little Danny: You are a man of good taste, Matt, so of course you are
	10:32pm Little Danny: Yeah, Evan, such a massive space this production
	10:33pm Flash Strap: like a ballroom in a cave
	10:33pm Little Danny: One of my all time fave pop ballads, this Al McCarther track, such a beauty
	10:35pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s a good one and then a Disco track decade later
	10:38pm Flash Strap: wow this premium sounds amazing, very exciting stuff
	10:39pm Little Danny: All hyperbole aside, it really is one of my fave compilation mixes, ever
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe i try... according to both her and her brother they were raised by their mother and me, not by their father (even though he was physically present) but she and i have gone on a rollercoaster ride. first she was neutral; then a brutally mean, spoiled brat; then she adored me for a few years; then hated me when she went to this quaker high school in pa and decided she knew everything and got aggressively self-righteous when we didn't see things the same; now, since she's become a college student we get along pretty well.
	10:42pm Flash Strap: @C: i'm a quaker-school boy but i've always been a perfect angel
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: (sorry -i know that was delayed! she and i are still hanging out. we made quesadillas)
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: Evan haha- of course!
	10:45pm ParUbi: Quakers have a strong social justice tradition, right?
	10:47pm Flash Strap: big time ParUbi. I'm not a quaker personally but they're pretty good in my book
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ...they went to a really tiny quaker school in northern connecticut through 9th grade and i think it did them well; but when they went to the quaker high school (in pa) they both became very self-righteous.
	10:48pm Flash Strap: this is a side effect of becoming good and wise while still too young to know how to use it wisely or well
	10:49pm Flash Strap: folks we need a live pledge to shake this thing up! i'd love to see it! i'd relish it!
	📉 10:51pm chresti: This Spiritualairs!
	10:53pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m digging this song but not necessarily its message as with most Gospel
	10:53pm Flash Strap: @C: PA quaker schools are pretty different from the small super left hippie enclave I went to, from what i understand, but I have to say a quaker education sorta saved my bacon physically and intellectually after a long time in the NC public system
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: Flash - 'makes sense...and then there's the rebelling against being good too; especially growing up in a "new money" wealthy community, getting trophies for existing; with a pushover, almost stereotypical "liberal" mom who didn't earn their respect and a selfish, know-it-all corporate lawyer dad.
	10:55pm Flash Strap: this Abshire is inCREDible
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: yeah -they certainly got a good education.
	10:55pm Matt from New Orleans: He used to be with the Balfa Brothers
	10:55pm Little Danny: Deep Cajun drone! Abshire is/was king
	10:56pm Phillippe Bastille: @#coel multi-tasking here too ;) That's a tough role for you to be in, given their dad is living and breathing. Good for you for stepping up and sticking with it. Its easy to throw up your hands and give up when they aren't your own, but it sounds like you've been there for the long haul.
	10:56pm Flash Strap: thanks to fresh pledger and absolute champion chresti! THANK YOU
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ...and, the same thing for montessori schools, i hear. huge differences between them.
	10:58pm Little Danny: ❤️ you Chresti!
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Phillippe. it's been a challenge it's true. ...it's going to change soon though...i don't know how; but i need to find other employment very soon and don't know where that'll take me, or how much time i'll have leftover.
	11:00pm Phillippe Bastille: You're an editor, correct?
	11:01pm melinda: hi chums
	11:01pm Little Danny: Evan's picks are in, will be dispensing first three prizes in just three or four minutes!
	11:01pm Phillippe Bastille: hey melinda
	11:02pm Little Danny: Melinda! Hi pal!
	11:02pm Flash Strap: i've made some picks!
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: this is the back seat to a '38 dodge giantclassiccars.com...
	11:02pm Flash Strap: Hi Melinda!
	11:03pm Flash Strap: that song was incredible, so jazzed about this premium
	📉 11:04pm chresti: Rumble seat!
	11:04pm Little Danny: named for a piece of contemporary pop art: collections.lacma.org...
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe, no! i wish...i'd be a 1/2 decent one. you may be thinking of northguineahills?
	11:05pm Flash Strap: Kienholz is a personal hero LD, is it really inspired by that piece? absolute legend
	11:06pm Phillippe Bastille: ah, I think it's sphere. NGH is some sort of statistician I think, though a specialized one.
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: yes i think you're right
	📉 11:07pm WR: Woo hoo!
	11:07pm Flash Strap: hey WR! thanks, thanks and congrats!
	11:08pm Phillippe Bastille: all right, old man's gotta sleep. 'Night all.
	11:08pm Flash Strap: nighty night Phillippe!
	11:09pm Dean: Brother of a buddy of mine has been touring a lecture about Kienholz. Lawrence Weschler: https://www.sfai.edu/events-calendar/detail/lawrence-weschler-the-fraught-crossroads-where-class-race-sex-and-violence-keep-converging-across-american-history-and-who-gets-to-address-it
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: 'night Phillippe
	📉 11:10pm chresti: Goodnight Phillippe.
	11:10pm ParUbi: Goodnight, PB
	11:12pm Flash Strap: @dean: i'll have to check that out! my college mentor once helped Kienholz splash piss and beer on the Beanery installation in Boston. said they sat and drank in there afterwards. a true great & fearless
	11:12pm Flash Strap: man i gotta get a hold of this comp
	11:14pm Dean: Ren (i.e., Lawrence W.) has written and spoken a lot about EK. I've dug EK since, oh, the late '70s?
	11:14pm Little Danny: Well well well Dean there you are
	11:15pm melinda: @Dean I just read his book about Oliver Sacks, it was really good.
	11:15pm Dean: You know Ren, of course, LD.
	11:15pm Little Danny: Yep, he's a regular here.
	11:15pm Flash Strap: Thanks & praise to pledger Marianne! much appreciation for your kind words & generosity, truly
	11:16pm Dean: That's great, melinda! Yep, his brother, whom I know from work, gave me the lowdown on Ren's having been "authorized" to write it, as well as the circumstances before and after Sacks' demise.
	11:16pm Little Danny: Marianne! Thank you! You're in the right place, and you have good tastes in DJs!
	11:18pm Little Danny: Just realized I forgot to back announce. Oof. Bridge / Water
	📉 11:18pm Ignore Function: You have outdone yourself with this comp, Little Danny. Can't wait till my swag arrives.
	11:19pm melinda: Yeah, in the book he explains why he had to wait to write it. I haven't read Sacks's own last memoir but when I do it will be interesting to compare.
	11:19pm doctorjazz: Had to take a break, back for a bit. May conk out at any time, though, g' night now if I don't make it through.
	📉 11:20pm chresti: Nice crazy sounding track.
	11:20pm Little Danny: Ignore F! Thank you!
	11:21pm Dean: NYT took him to task for comparing himself to Johnson's Boswell, which is truly a stretch. But the review was otherwise favorable.
	11:21pm ParUbi: This track is spooky, love it
	11:21pm Little Danny: And apologies to anyone in the chat if I didn't make the connection between your "real" name and your WFMU identity during the thanks
	11:22pm Little Danny: I love her so much, ParUbi, Orleans deserves much wider recognition
	11:22pm Flash Strap: @LD: so hard to do even when you totally know
	11:23pm Flash Strap: oh wow i love this Deuces Wild track
	11:24pm melinda: Me too
	📉 11:24pm chresti: And the haunted magic continues..
	11:24pm Little Danny: Obscure 45 from out here in West Texas!
	11:24pm ParUbi: following her on bandcamp, presto! this is why I listen
	11:25pm melinda: LD you find such great local gems
	11:26pm Flash Strap: he's got the gift few possess
	11:26pm Little Danny: Thank you Melinda! It's not easy out here, I know you know
	11:27pm Little Danny: ParUbi: Good!!! Everything she's done is cool
	11:27pm Flash Strap: this is like a dubplate version!
	11:28pm Flash Strap: yeah i immediately looked into grabbing that Orleans record
	11:29pm Little Danny: from the surfing movie The Golden Breed, "What Turns You On." Anyone seen the movie? Flash? Matt?
	11:29pm doctorjazz: Anyone have a link to it? Couldn't find it.
	11:29pm Flash Strap: no, i've only seen like 1 surf movie to be honest. you know the one
	11:30pm Flash Strap: really need to bone up on surfing flix
	11:30pm Little Danny: Yep the best one, Flash
	11:31pm Little Danny: As do I. Tons of period surfing docs I haven't seen, including Bruce Brown stuff.
	11:31pm Matt from New Orleans: I can’t recall Danny
	11:31pm Little Danny: The 13th Floor Elevators' first album really makes sense in the context of early '60s surf music
	11:32pm Flash Strap: absolutely
	11:32pm doctorjazz: Cool track, this Elevators!
	11:34pm ParUbi: What instrument makes that "doot-doot-doot-" bubbling sound?
	📉 11:34pm WR: Hi Cool Blue Flamers. Not chatting much. Busy talking to my partner. She's upset because I scratch my nose all the time.
	11:34pm ParUbi: RE: Elevators
	11:35pm Flash Strap: "electric jug"
	11:35pm Flash Strap: hang in there WR, don't give an inch
	11:36pm ParUbi: Recipe for making people touch their face all the time: 1.) Tell them not to touch their face. And serve.
	📉 11:37pm chresti: As long as you wash her hands, WR
	11:37pm ParUbi: @FS-- Wow, that's a fascinating rabbit hole. Thanks!
	📉 11:38pm WR: I've been agonizing over selecting premiums for my swag for life donation. So hard to decide. So many interesting premiums.
	11:38pm Flash Strap: big thanks to Doc jazz for a generous pledge that's not even his first of the night! god bless the good doctor and thanks be to him
	11:38pm doctorjazz: Inn for the drawing, but out for the count... night, all!
	📉 11:39pm WR: Later drj!
	11:39pm melinda: @WR it's always tough.
	📉 11:39pm chresti: Night doc!
	11:40pm Flash Strap: g'night Doc!
	11:40pm ParUbi: Night, doctor!
	📉 11:41pm WR: She has always been a vigorous hand washer. My compromise is to use more soap, lots of lather.
	11:42pm Little Danny: Best damn doctor, docjazz THANK YOU
	11:42pm Matt from New Orleans: Goodnight everyone. Putting the phone down and will listen to this last bit. Thanks Danny & Evan.

	9:15am Back Beat No. 5: Due to work, I’m a day-after listener, but here are a few quick observations on two of the tracks: “What Turns You On” features Davie Allen of Davie Allen And The Arrows, of “Blues Theme” Fame (The Wild Angels, 1966). Here is how the soundtrack is described in the blurb for the recent Sundazed reissue: Hailed as “magnificent” by the Los Angeles Times, director Dale Davis’ film The Golden Breed captured surfing at the height of its longboard era. Featuring the sport’s top stars, it was beautifully shot in Hawaii, California and other scenic locales. However, when the film was released in 1968, surfing was in the midst of a revolution. Australian Nat Young won the 1966 World Championship using a shortboard, which was 3 to 4 feet shorter than a longboard, allowing greater maneuverability and increased speed. This feat sparked a mass move toward shortboards, making longboards appear passé in comparison. In other words, longboards were no longer cool in 1968 and as a result, The Golden Breed quickly disappeared from theaters. Scored by Mike Curb, Jerry Styner and Harley Hatcher, the film’s soundtrack is just as evocative and vivid as its aquatic footage. Curb assembled a “first call” set of studio musicians to record it, including Curb soundtrack veteran Davie Allan on guitar. Trimming the fuzz and turning up the reverb, Allan turns in a superb performance with his guitar lines often juxtaposed against Tijuana Brass-style horns to great effect. Curb recruited members of The Riptides as vocalists as well as Mike Clifford, who sang the film’s title track. This aggregate group of musicians and vocalists was dubbed “The Back-Wash Rhythm Band” on the LP’s liner notes, obscuring their true identities. Capitol Records released the album as Capitol # 2886 but without a successful movie to promote it, it sold few copies and was duly deleted. In the years since its release, the superb quality of the soundtrack earned it a well-deserved spot among the best recordings of the surf genre. Collectors eagerly sought it, guaranteeing high prices when an elusive copy was found. But just as longboards have made a big comeback, Sundazed Music now brings this classic album back from the beach for your listening pleasure. Sourced from the original Capitol analog tapes, it sounds better than ever! * “Whiplash” by Oscar And The Majestics: Very much in the vein of “High Wall” by The (Fabulous) Wailers from 1959, but sped-up and double-picked. * Another great show, Danny!

	10:08pm Little Danny: It was a discovery of mine in "the wilds," Evan. One of my fave finds of 2019
	10:09pm Flash Strap: what a find!
	10:11pm Matt from New Orleans: I know her song The Winds Kept Laughing from the Northern Soul scene
	10:11pm Little Danny: Attainable goal set for this show, my friends. Let's move that needle!

	10:13pm Flash Strap: We can make it to the top, I can feel it!
	10:14pm Little Danny: This reminds me a bit of "Whirlpool" now that you just played it on yer show, Flash
	10:14pm Flash Strap: just thinking that same thing!
	10:15pm ParUbi: Hey guys

	10:19pm Flash Strap: wow wow
	10:20pm Flash Strap: this is deeeep
	10:20pm Matt from New Orleans: A true obscurity. I heard this slowed way down back in the late 90s.
	10:20pm Little Danny: @Flash: one of these years I'ma make a marathon premium composed entirely of R&B vocal group exotica
	10:21pm Flash Strap: oh my god please do it Danny
	10:21pm Flash Strap: i'd lose my mind
	📉 10:23pm JtotheK: hiya Flash, hiya Danny! (Flash - enjoyed the program this evening!)
	10:23pm Flash Strap: Hi JtotheK! thanks pal
	10:25pm Phillippe Bastille: @coel ah. Well, be a good uncle and show her the ropes!
	10:27pm Matt from New Orleans: Disco Danny!
	10:27pm Flash Strap: let's give Danny a fresh live pledge, just to wet his whistle! what a show, what a show
	10:28pm Little Danny: Heya Jason!
	10:28pm Little Danny: @Matt: I have my '70s moments
	10:29pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m well familiar with this tune and am a fan
	10:31pm Flash Strap: damn that drum sound
	10:31pm Little Danny: You are a man of good taste, Matt, so of course you are
	10:32pm Little Danny: Yeah, Evan, such a massive space this production
	10:33pm Flash Strap: like a ballroom in a cave
	10:33pm Little Danny: One of my all time fave pop ballads, this Al McCarther track, such a beauty
	10:35pm Matt from New Orleans: It’s a good one and then a Disco track decade later
	10:38pm Flash Strap: wow this premium sounds amazing, very exciting stuff
	10:39pm Little Danny: All hyperbole aside, it really is one of my fave compilation mixes, ever
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe i try... according to both her and her brother they were raised by their mother and me, not by their father (even though he was physically present) but she and i have gone on a rollercoaster ride. first she was neutral; then a brutally mean, spoiled brat; then she adored me for a few years; then hated me when she went to this quaker high school in pa and decided she knew everything and got aggressively self-righteous when we didn't see things the same; now, since she's become a college student we get along pretty well.
	10:42pm Flash Strap: @C: i'm a quaker-school boy but i've always been a perfect angel
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: (sorry -i know that was delayed! she and i are still hanging out. we made quesadillas)
	10:43pm coelacanth∅: Evan haha- of course!
	10:45pm ParUbi: Quakers have a strong social justice tradition, right?
	10:47pm Flash Strap: big time ParUbi. I'm not a quaker personally but they're pretty good in my book
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ...they went to a really tiny quaker school in northern connecticut through 9th grade and i think it did them well; but when they went to the quaker high school (in pa) they both became very self-righteous.
	10:48pm Flash Strap: this is a side effect of becoming good and wise while still too young to know how to use it wisely or well
	10:49pm Flash Strap: folks we need a live pledge to shake this thing up! i'd love to see it! i'd relish it!
	📉 10:51pm chresti: This Spiritualairs!
	10:53pm Matt from New Orleans: I’m digging this song but not necessarily its message as with most Gospel
	10:53pm Flash Strap: @C: PA quaker schools are pretty different from the small super left hippie enclave I went to, from what i understand, but I have to say a quaker education sorta saved my bacon physically and intellectually after a long time in the NC public system
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: Flash - 'makes sense...and then there's the rebelling against being good too; especially growing up in a "new money" wealthy community, getting trophies for existing; with a pushover, almost stereotypical "liberal" mom who didn't earn their respect and a selfish, know-it-all corporate lawyer dad.
	10:55pm Flash Strap: this Abshire is inCREDible
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: yeah -they certainly got a good education.
	10:55pm Matt from New Orleans: He used to be with the Balfa Brothers
	10:55pm Little Danny: Deep Cajun drone! Abshire is/was king
	10:56pm Phillippe Bastille: @#coel multi-tasking here too ;) That's a tough role for you to be in, given their dad is living and breathing. Good for you for stepping up and sticking with it. Its easy to throw up your hands and give up when they aren't your own, but it sounds like you've been there for the long haul.
	10:56pm Flash Strap: thanks to fresh pledger and absolute champion chresti! THANK YOU
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ...and, the same thing for montessori schools, i hear. huge differences between them.
	10:58pm Little Danny: ❤️ you Chresti!
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Phillippe. it's been a challenge it's true. ...it's going to change soon though...i don't know how; but i need to find other employment very soon and don't know where that'll take me, or how much time i'll have leftover.
	11:00pm Phillippe Bastille: You're an editor, correct?
	11:01pm melinda: hi chums

	11:04pm Little Danny: named for a piece of contemporary pop art: collections.lacma.org...
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: Phillippe, no! i wish...i'd be a 1/2 decent one. you may be thinking of northguineahills?
	11:05pm Flash Strap: Kienholz is a personal hero LD, is it really inspired by that piece? absolute legend
	11:06pm Phillippe Bastille: ah, I think it's sphere. NGH is some sort of statistician I think, though a specialized one.
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: yes i think you're right
	📉 11:07pm WR: Woo hoo!
	11:07pm Flash Strap: hey WR! thanks, thanks and congrats!
	11:08pm Phillippe Bastille: all right, old man's gotta sleep. 'Night all.
	11:08pm Flash Strap: nighty night Phillippe!
	11:09pm Dean: Brother of a buddy of mine has been touring a lecture about Kienholz. Lawrence Weschler: https://www.sfai.edu/events-calendar/detail/lawrence-weschler-the-fraught-crossroads-where-class-race-sex-and-violence-keep-converging-across-american-history-and-who-gets-to-address-it
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: 'night Phillippe
	📉 11:10pm chresti: Goodnight Phillippe.
	11:10pm ParUbi: Goodnight, PB
	11:12pm Flash Strap: @dean: i'll have to check that out! my college mentor once helped Kienholz splash piss and beer on the Beanery installation in Boston. said they sat and drank in there afterwards. a true great & fearless
	11:12pm Flash Strap: man i gotta get a hold of this comp
	11:14pm Dean: Ren (i.e., Lawrence W.) has written and spoken a lot about EK. I've dug EK since, oh, the late '70s?
	11:14pm Little Danny: Well well well Dean there you are
	11:15pm melinda: @Dean I just read his book about Oliver Sacks, it was really good.
	11:15pm Dean: You know Ren, of course, LD.
	11:15pm Little Danny: Yep, he's a regular here.
	11:15pm Flash Strap: Thanks & praise to pledger Marianne! much appreciation for your kind words & generosity, truly
	11:16pm Dean: That's great, melinda! Yep, his brother, whom I know from work, gave me the lowdown on Ren's having been "authorized" to write it, as well as the circumstances before and after Sacks' demise.
	11:16pm Little Danny: Marianne! Thank you! You're in the right place, and you have good tastes in DJs!
	11:18pm Little Danny: Just realized I forgot to back announce. Oof. Bridge / Water
	📉 11:18pm Ignore Function: You have outdone yourself with this comp, Little Danny. Can't wait till my swag arrives.
	11:19pm melinda: Yeah, in the book he explains why he had to wait to write it. I haven't read Sacks's own last memoir but when I do it will be interesting to compare.
	11:19pm doctorjazz: Had to take a break, back for a bit. May conk out at any time, though, g' night now if I don't make it through.
	📉 11:20pm chresti: Nice crazy sounding track.
	11:20pm Little Danny: Ignore F! Thank you!
	11:21pm Dean: NYT took him to task for comparing himself to Johnson's Boswell, which is truly a stretch. But the review was otherwise favorable.
	11:21pm ParUbi: This track is spooky, love it
	11:21pm Little Danny: And apologies to anyone in the chat if I didn't make the connection between your "real" name and your WFMU identity during the thanks
	11:22pm Little Danny: I love her so much, ParUbi, Orleans deserves much wider recognition
	11:22pm Flash Strap: @LD: so hard to do even when you totally know
	11:23pm Flash Strap: oh wow i love this Deuces Wild track
	11:24pm melinda: Me too
	📉 11:24pm chresti: And the haunted magic continues..
	11:24pm Little Danny: Obscure 45 from out here in West Texas!
	11:24pm ParUbi: following her on bandcamp, presto! this is why I listen
	11:25pm melinda: LD you find such great local gems
	11:26pm Flash Strap: he's got the gift few possess
	11:26pm Little Danny: Thank you Melinda! It's not easy out here, I know you know
	11:27pm Little Danny: ParUbi: Good!!! Everything she's done is cool
	11:27pm Flash Strap: this is like a dubplate version!
	11:28pm Flash Strap: yeah i immediately looked into grabbing that Orleans record
	11:29pm Little Danny: from the surfing movie The Golden Breed, "What Turns You On." Anyone seen the movie? Flash? Matt?
	11:29pm doctorjazz: Anyone have a link to it? Couldn't find it.
	11:29pm Flash Strap: no, i've only seen like 1 surf movie to be honest. you know the one
	11:30pm Flash Strap: really need to bone up on surfing flix
	11:30pm Little Danny: Yep the best one, Flash
	11:31pm Little Danny: As do I. Tons of period surfing docs I haven't seen, including Bruce Brown stuff.
	11:31pm Matt from New Orleans: I can’t recall Danny
	11:31pm Little Danny: The 13th Floor Elevators' first album really makes sense in the context of early '60s surf music
	11:32pm Flash Strap: absolutely
	11:32pm doctorjazz: Cool track, this Elevators!
	11:34pm ParUbi: What instrument makes that "doot-doot-doot-" bubbling sound?
	📉 11:34pm WR: Hi Cool Blue Flamers. Not chatting much. Busy talking to my partner. She's upset because I scratch my nose all the time.
	11:34pm ParUbi: RE: Elevators
	11:35pm Flash Strap: "electric jug"
	11:35pm Flash Strap: hang in there WR, don't give an inch
	11:36pm ParUbi: Recipe for making people touch their face all the time: 1.) Tell them not to touch their face. And serve.
	📉 11:37pm chresti: As long as you wash her hands, WR
	11:37pm ParUbi: @FS-- Wow, that's a fascinating rabbit hole. Thanks!
	📉 11:38pm WR: I've been agonizing over selecting premiums for my swag for life donation. So hard to decide. So many interesting premiums.
	11:38pm Flash Strap: big thanks to Doc jazz for a generous pledge that's not even his first of the night! god bless the good doctor and thanks be to him

	11:40pm Flash Strap: g'night Doc!
	11:40pm ParUbi: Night, doctor!

	9:15am Back Beat No. 5: Due to work, I’m a day-after listener, but here are a few quick observations on two of the tracks: “What Turns You On” features Davie Allen of Davie Allen And The Arrows, of “Blues Theme” Fame (The Wild Angels, 1966). Here is how the soundtrack is described in the blurb for the recent Sundazed reissue: Hailed as “magnificent” by the Los Angeles Times, director Dale Davis’ film The Golden Breed captured surfing at the height of its longboard era. Featuring the sport’s top stars, it was beautifully shot in Hawaii, California and other scenic locales. However, when the film was released in 1968, surfing was in the midst of a revolution. Australian Nat Young won the 1966 World Championship using a shortboard, which was 3 to 4 feet shorter than a longboard, allowing greater maneuverability and increased speed. This feat sparked a mass move toward shortboards, making longboards appear passé in comparison. In other words, longboards were no longer cool in 1968 and as a result, The Golden Breed quickly disappeared from theaters. Scored by Mike Curb, Jerry Styner and Harley Hatcher, the film’s soundtrack is just as evocative and vivid as its aquatic footage. Curb assembled a “first call” set of studio musicians to record it, including Curb soundtrack veteran Davie Allan on guitar. Trimming the fuzz and turning up the reverb, Allan turns in a superb performance with his guitar lines often juxtaposed against Tijuana Brass-style horns to great effect. Curb recruited members of The Riptides as vocalists as well as Mike Clifford, who sang the film’s title track. This aggregate group of musicians and vocalists was dubbed “The Back-Wash Rhythm Band” on the LP’s liner notes, obscuring their true identities. Capitol Records released the album as Capitol # 2886 but without a successful movie to promote it, it sold few copies and was duly deleted. In the years since its release, the superb quality of the soundtrack earned it a well-deserved spot among the best recordings of the surf genre. Collectors eagerly sought it, guaranteeing high prices when an elusive copy was found. But just as longboards have made a big comeback, Sundazed Music now brings this classic album back from the beach for your listening pleasure. Sourced from the original Capitol analog tapes, it sounds better than ever! * “Whiplash” by Oscar And The Majestics: Very much in the vein of “High Wall” by The (Fabulous) Wailers from 1959, but sped-up and double-picked. * Another great show, Danny!
