	8:25pm Gary: Here's the post in question: radiodiffusion.blog...
	8:28pm Dean: Lanza on elevator music? https://search.library.berkeley.edu/permalink/01UCS_BER/1thfj9n/alma991028920679706532
	8:29pm peter: Conversely, I’m a sucker for all that academic stuff haha
	8:29pm Gary: Dean, hey there!
	8:31pm Gary: The Aces post: radiodiffusion.blog...
	8:32pm Dean: "fucking metadata" is actually a Library of Congress approved term.
	8:33pm Gary: The New Guinea post: radiodiffusion.blog...
	8:33pm Dean: Holy crap, Jesse Jarnow wrote the entry for elevator music in New Grove! https://search.library.berkeley.edu/permalink/01UCS_BER/s4lks2/cdi_oup_grovemusic_10_1093_gmo_9781561592630_article_A2240795
	🇰🇷 8:33pm chresti: The bulletin board
	8:33pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:33 Sweet!
	8:39pm Dean: Here's Jesse's full entry. I'll call it fair use. Elevator music Jesse Jarnow https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.A2240795 Published in print: 26 November 2013 Published online: 25 July 2013 The term became synonymous with a music service offered by the Muzak corporation, and it also came to describe several broader types of music. In 1934, General George Squier founded Muzak as a way to market the broadcast systems he had helped develop in the military. By the 1940s the company was quietly piping background music into offices, department stores, hotels, and eventually elevators. “Elevator music” soon came to describe the ubiquitous instrumental music heard in public places, often produced by Muzak and performed by anonymous session musicians. It is closely related to the beautiful music radio format, which itself grew out of recordings once played in department stores, and might be considered a kind of commercial Ambient music. Beginning likely in the 1960s, the term began to be used in a derisive manner to describe a type of music without substance. Bibliography J. Lanza: Elevator Music: a Surreal History of Muzak, Easy-Listening, and Other Moodsong (Ann Arbor, 1994)
	8:40pm stuart_e: It's an entertaining read. Highly recommend it.
	8:42pm Dean: Seems somebody needs to write a book about hold music and other genres defined by the fact that the audience is held captive.
	8:45pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:42 Dean, do you know Bob Perelman's book Captive Audience?
	8:46pm Dean: Jarnow stumbles with his qualification about "commercial Ambient music." Inasmuch as Eno pioneered it--I know, Satie, etc.--it was commercial from the get-go. But I don't like elevator music, except when it discredits established pop artists like U2 or Springsteen (and despite the fact that it fills their coffers), and I surely do not like Eno's ambient efforts. No, Gary. Poetry? I'll look it up. Was just yesterday sharing with a colleague at work the joys of Handke's Offending the Audience.
	8:47pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:46 Yes, poetry!
	8:47pm Dean: Gonna have to investigate. Thanks.
	8:52pm Gary: Miracles of the Seven Dances: www.discogs.com...
	🇰🇷 8:56pm WR: ↳ Song: "Qululuh / قولولوه" by "Hany Mehanna / هاني مهنى" I've been browsing the blog off and on during the program and the several Hany Mehanna tracks are the only ones that I've downloaded. Your enthusiasm in the post moved me to grab it.
	8:57pm northguineahills: i've been digging.
	8:58pm stuart_e: For some reason, I thought "Miracles of the Seven Dances" was an Abdou el Omari album... But I have that record. I'd just forgotten. I bought the reissue in Paris when I was there for the Sublime Frequencies anniversary in a shop that sold record and beer. Needless to say, it was a good day.
	9:01pm mackeral: (burp) what'd I miss. Oh hey!
	9:02pm Gary: Mackeral!
	🇰🇷 9:05pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @8:52 I like how Hany and the dancer are modeling desert attire on the cover.
	9:07pm stuart_e: All of his album covers are pretty goofy. www.discogs.com...
	9:09pm Dean: Georges Perec
	9:10pm Dean: Nothing more fun than showing somebody a passage from that Perec novel and asking what's odd about this?
	🇰🇷 9:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @9:10 My comments never have an X in them, but you have never noticed.
	🇰🇷 9:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:13 Damn, I just broke my rule!!!
	9:14pm Gary: Record stamps from Bhutan! radiodiffusion.blog...
	9:15pm Dean: @Lxstxnxr Grxgxrx: Really?
	9:17pm stuart_e: I love this track 'cuz it sounds like a "Back from the Grave" track - but it's from Zaire.
	🇰🇷 9:18pm WR: ↳ Song: "Baby Come Back" by "Orchestre Les Thu Zahina" so so so very good!
	9:18pm Gary: ↳ stuart_e @9:17 It's phenomenal
	9:20pm stuart_e: And who would've ever know that Honduras had a killer Rock Steady scene?
	🇰🇷 9:20pm WR: ↳ Song: "El Enterrador" by "Los Robbins" Ska from Honduras!
	🇰🇷 9:21pm Alex from Media: ↳ Gary @9:14 What a strange story. How big are these stamps? Not clear from the images.
	🇰🇷 9:22pm WR: ↳ stuart_e @9:20 or rock steady, I'm pretty loose regarding naming genres
	🇰🇷 9:22pm chresti: ↳ Song: "El Enterrador" by "Los Robbins" Man
	9:23pm stuart_e: ↳ Alex from Media @9:21 The biggest one is about 5 inches. The rest are around 3 inches
	9:23pm coelacanth∅: hey Gary, y'all
	9:25pm Gary: Coelacanth!
	9:27pm stuart_e: Here's a song I almost didn't post... But this thing will get stuck in your head BAD.
	9:28pm stuart_e: The story behind the song is also hilarious.
	9:28pm stuart_e: radiodiffusion.blog...
	🇰🇷 9:29pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Our Camel Lovely Camel / هيدو" by "Abdul Kareem A... At 10 pm tonight, Sam Siegel's show will be "When a man loves a lovely camel."
	🇰🇷 9:29pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:29 The truth is, every camel is lovely, each in its own way.
	🇰🇷 9:31pm Alex from Media: ↳ stuart_e @9:28 So is this the soccer team singing? Enough dudes on the album cover.
	🇰🇷 9:32pm WR: I've just signed up for a music expedition to Morocco. To get to one of the venues it is an hour camelback ride.
	9:33pm stuart_e: In Essaouira?
	9:34pm Doug Schulkind: What a beautiful Bodega!
	9:35pm Gary: Stream Master Doug!
	🇰🇷 9:35pm WR: ↳ stuart_e @9:33 Don't have the full itinerary yet.
	9:37pm headcleaner: Fine stuff, Gary. Will have to double back on tonite's program sometime.
	9:37pm stuart_e: I'm sure you'll have a great experience. The only reason I can recommend going to Marrakesh is to see the musicians in the Jemaa el-Fnaa.
	9:38pm Gary: Theee Headcleaner!
	🇰🇷 9:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:29 Nonetheless, camel beauty has been commodified and dirty tricks are afoot! www.bbc.com...
	9:41pm Dean: medium, massage, etc. Yes, you have to be your own Web designer, sysadmin, etc.
	9:42pm Dean: archive.org I use it almost daily.
	9:42pm Gary: Kids! Adults! Tweens! Love music? Can't get enough music? Stick around after this program ends for Sam Segal's always-already terrific If You Lose Your Hose! Tonight's episode: "Ghosts of Horses Still Bark" wfmu.org...
	🇰🇷 9:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:39 I mean, you see an attractive camel, and then it occurs to you... is it just the Botox and collagen injections? It's sad.
	🇰🇷 9:45pm Alex from Media: Thank you! A new avenue for finding music has opened up for me.
	🇰🇷 9:46pm WR: Great interview/ discussion. Banger tunes. I look forward to exploring Radiodifussion Internasionaal!
	9:47pm Gary: ↳ Gary @9:42 Hose? HORSE. If you lose your HORSE
	9:47pm Dean: I lost my hose. My horse took it.
	9:47pm Gary: radiodiffusion.blog
	🇰🇷 9:48pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @9:47 Camels never do this.
	9:50pm Dean: Speaking of camels, today is hump day.
	🇰🇷 9:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @9:50 Every day is hump day when you have a lovely camel.
	9:50pm stuart_e: Gary… Thank you so much for doing this. I spend so much time looking for that next record (AKA chasing the dragon) that I sometimes forget what I’ve posted. There were a lot of songs that you played tonight that I’d forgotten about - and damn, there’s a lot of killer shit. Thanks for reminding me.
	9:51pm Dean: "there's a lot of killer shit" is a statement for the ages. It's too too true.
	9:51pm Gary: Thank YOU for everything you do, Stuart, and for taking time out to answer all of my ridiculous questions!
	🇰🇷 9:52pm Listener Gregory: Great show, guys. Stuart, you stood up to Gary's grilling better than most. Thanks to both of you for doing this.
	9:54pm stuart_e: ↳ Gary @9:51 It was not ridiculous. Hopefully I'll see you your next trip out to the Left Coast.
	9:56pm Gary: ↳ stuart_e @9:54 I'll hit you up when I've got dates!
	🇰🇷 9:56pm chresti: Thanks Gary and Stuart!
	9:59pm Yvang: ↳ Dean @9:10 Wonderful episode! Thanks Gary and Stuart!
	10:00pm Gary: Night and thanks, everyone!
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary! Thanks Stuart!

No, Gary. Poetry? I'll look it up. Was just yesterday sharing with a colleague at work the joys of Handke's Offending the Audience.
	8:47pm Gary: ↳ Dean @8:46 Yes, poetry!
	8:47pm Dean: Gonna have to investigate. Thanks.
	8:52pm Gary: Miracles of the Seven Dances: www.discogs.com...
	🇰🇷 8:56pm WR: ↳ Song: "Qululuh / قولولوه" by "Hany Mehanna / هاني مهنى" I've been browsing the blog off and on during the program and the several Hany Mehanna tracks are the only ones that I've downloaded. Your enthusiasm in the post moved me to grab it.
	8:57pm northguineahills: i've been digging.
	8:58pm stuart_e: For some reason, I thought "Miracles of the Seven Dances" was an Abdou el Omari album... But I have that record. I'd just forgotten. I bought the reissue in Paris when I was there for the Sublime Frequencies anniversary in a shop that sold record and beer. Needless to say, it was a good day.
	9:01pm mackeral: (burp) what'd I miss. Oh hey!
	9:02pm Gary: Mackeral!
	🇰🇷 9:05pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Gary @8:52 I like how Hany and the dancer are modeling desert attire on the cover.
	9:07pm stuart_e: All of his album covers are pretty goofy. www.discogs.com...
	9:09pm Dean: Georges Perec
	9:10pm Dean: Nothing more fun than showing somebody a passage from that Perec novel and asking what's odd about this?
	🇰🇷 9:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @9:10 My comments never have an X in them, but you have never noticed.
	🇰🇷 9:13pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:13 Damn, I just broke my rule!!!
	9:14pm Gary: Record stamps from Bhutan! radiodiffusion.blog...
	9:15pm Dean: @Lxstxnxr Grxgxrx: Really?
	9:17pm stuart_e: I love this track 'cuz it sounds like a "Back from the Grave" track - but it's from Zaire.
	🇰🇷 9:18pm WR: ↳ Song: "Baby Come Back" by "Orchestre Les Thu Zahina" so so so very good!
	9:18pm Gary: ↳ stuart_e @9:17 It's phenomenal

	9:23pm coelacanth∅: hey Gary, y'all
	9:25pm Gary: Coelacanth!
	9:27pm stuart_e: Here's a song I almost didn't post... But this thing will get stuck in your head BAD.
	9:28pm stuart_e: The story behind the song is also hilarious.
	9:28pm stuart_e: radiodiffusion.blog...
	🇰🇷 9:29pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Our Camel Lovely Camel / هيدو" by "Abdul Kareem A... At 10 pm tonight, Sam Siegel's show will be "When a man loves a lovely camel."

	🇰🇷 9:31pm Alex from Media: ↳ stuart_e @9:28 So is this the soccer team singing? Enough dudes on the album cover.
	🇰🇷 9:32pm WR: I've just signed up for a music expedition to Morocco. To get to one of the venues it is an hour camelback ride.

	9:37pm headcleaner: Fine stuff, Gary. Will have to double back on tonite's program sometime.
	9:37pm stuart_e: I'm sure you'll have a great experience. The only reason I can recommend going to Marrakesh is to see the musicians in the Jemaa el-Fnaa.
	9:38pm Gary: Theee Headcleaner!
	🇰🇷 9:39pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:29 Nonetheless, camel beauty has been commodified and dirty tricks are afoot! www.bbc.com...
	9:41pm Dean: medium, massage, etc. Yes, you have to be your own Web designer, sysadmin, etc.
	9:42pm Dean: archive.org I use it almost daily.
	9:42pm Gary: Kids! Adults! Tweens! Love music? Can't get enough music? Stick around after this program ends for Sam Segal's always-already terrific If You Lose Your Hose! Tonight's episode: "Ghosts of Horses Still Bark" wfmu.org...
	🇰🇷 9:43pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:39 I mean, you see an attractive camel, and then it occurs to you... is it just the Botox and collagen injections? It's sad.
	🇰🇷 9:45pm Alex from Media: Thank you! A new avenue for finding music has opened up for me.

	🇰🇷 9:50pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Dean @9:50 Every day is hump day when you have a lovely camel.
	9:50pm stuart_e: Gary… Thank you so much for doing this. I spend so much time looking for that next record (AKA chasing the dragon) that I sometimes forget what I’ve posted. There were a lot of songs that you played tonight that I’d forgotten about - and damn, there’s a lot of killer shit. Thanks for reminding me.
	9:51pm Dean: "there's a lot of killer shit" is a statement for the ages. It's too too true.
	9:51pm Gary: Thank YOU for everything you do, Stuart, and for taking time out to answer all of my ridiculous questions!
	🇰🇷 9:52pm Listener Gregory: Great show, guys. Stuart, you stood up to Gary's grilling better than most. Thanks to both of you for doing this.
