	3:13am Scott67: G'day Fred, yes, but sobbing hurts more mate. ✌😎
	3:15am Mike W: a 1300-kn border with Russia, and a hockey gold medal
	3:15am Scott67: Ribs were coming good, but a Cosmic Psychos show Friday night & a Band double last night at TRASH CULT means my ribs are strangely sore again.
	3:15am Mike W: “km”
	3:20am Mike W: ol’ Knighty still leading the Psychos into battle, eh
	3:21am Scott67: Cheers Brian, needed a night off line to clear my head mate. Couple o f topical Australian subjects close to my heart tonight. Musta known I was coming mate. ✌😎🤙🐨🚣‍♂️
	3:22am Mokka Matti: That stinky neo-soviet bear better not even think of tangling with with the Leijonat.
	3:23am Brian D: Always tuned into Oz, Scott. What's up with the ribs?
	3:26am Scott67: Crashed my rusty old cruiser bicycle & landed hard on an immovable object mate. But slowly on the mend, it was over 2 weeks ago now. ✌😎
	3:28am Brian D: Yikes, get well soon, man.
	3:31am Scott67: Cheers mate, not my first rib Rodeo. But the worst one yet. Just takes as long as it takes. A bit like the Evolution of Human Consciousness. 🌏💜
	3:33am fred: Constellation often runs an ad in N+1, I wonder how that came about. Not many ads in there, and they usually are for other magazines
	3:36am Brian D: I thought that we actually stopped evolving, @Scott. ;-)
	3:38am LiXiviated Life: Hello Re-Evolvers
	3:38am Scott67: Yes Brian, sadly it all seems to be about Terraformig & Terra Terrorism now. So smart & worthy we feel we have become.
	3:42am LiXiviated Life: Everything’s always changing but nothing changes
	3:44am LiXiviated Life: and it seems to be changing/not changing at breakneck speed
	3:45am fred: Thanks for playing Bipolar Explorer, it's nice to hear the music of people from the WFMU community
	3:46am Brian D: Recorded, in part, in Scotland's Galloway Forest, @Fred.
	3:48am LiXiviated Life: I’m in the mood for drone
	3:50am LiXiviated Life: it’s the end again
	3:51am LiXiviated Life: no experience necessary to kill or be killed
	3:52am Nymor: Orla Guerin there for the BBC I believe - incredible reporter.
	3:53am Brian D: Correct @Nymor.
	3:57am Scott67: Nice!
	3:58am LiXiviated Life: Isn’t it’ all coming apart again
	3:59am LiXiviated Life: Late night fm DJ vibe a la Bob Fass
	4:04am Brian D: I could only dream of being Bob Fass, @Lix.
	4:12am LiXiviated Life: dreaming of being we dream of being our hero’s our hero’s are ashes and we only dream where is the Phoenix
	4:12am Scott67: Glad your wife is on the mend Brian. ✌😎💨🌷
	4:14am LiXiviated Life: electronic sheep
	4:14am fred: I finished Harlem Shuffle by Colson Whitehead (and enjoyed it a lot), now reading a collection of Jill Johnston's articles (I'm a dance nerd). Does any of you have a recommendation for what I should read next?
	4:17am Brian D: Cheers, Scott. Colson Whitehead, like me, a former Village Voice writer. That's where the similarities end. I just started a Denise Mina novel.
	⚡ 4:18am Don in Tampere: Dang, there's another old song that starts with almost the same riff and I can't remember what it is!
	4:21am LiXiviated Life: I thought Harlem Shuffle was. wry good read. BBC 4 did a serial reading not too long ago.
	4:24am fred: @Brian: Those Jill Johnston articles were from the Village Voice too
	4:25am LiXiviated Life: We’re all running out of breath
	4:33am fred: @Scott: I'm popping open a beer to your and koalas' health, though it's early
	4:34am Brian D: Right @Fred. I remember Jill Johnston as a reader, but think she had stopped contributing by the time I started. Probably not a coincidence ;-)
	4:36am Scott67: Cheers Fred! 🍻😎🤙🐨 I started at 11am today (Sunday) & still goin fine at 8:37pm.
	4:42am LiXiviated Life: I’ve got to stop tuning into late night radio It screws up my sleep.
	4:43am Brian D: You can sleep during DAYTIME radio, Lix.
	4:45am LiXiviated Life: … and I do
	4:48am fred: With the reach of the station, it's always daytime or nighttime. The sun never sets on the WFMU empire (or never rises, that might be a better fit)
	4:48am Scott67: I sleep through daytime radio. Because it's middle of the night here. 🍻😎🤙
	4:51am Scott67: The fact that it's Summer in the Southern Hemisphere & Sunday night. Still seems to amaze some in the US.
	4:56am Brian D: Well said, Fred.
	4:57am Brian D: I'm going to wager a goodly percentage of Americans think that Australians speak "Australian," Scott.
	4:59am fred: @Brian: I hear you. I've been reading The American Conservative for years, but the quality plummeted recently (the architecture/urbanism section especially). I might have to go to National Review more often. I still want to read Dreher: I hate what he says, but he used to be articulate about it (less so lately)
	5:03am Brian D: @Fred, not a lot of "great" conservative thinkers on this side of the pond, I don't think. Not my end of the political spectrum, personally, but the lack of thought among many on that end means we don't really have an exchange of ideas any longer.
	5:09am fred: @Brian: Sad to hear. I want to read cogent takes I oppose, keeping to people I agree with is boring
	5:09am Scott67: Met a lovely guy when managing a Backpackers in Tasmania. TJ from Washington, said when he phoned his Mum & said he was in Tasmania. His Mum said Tasmania!? I thought you were in Australia, not Africa! TJ did admit that he was expecting to have to Change his Australian Money on arrival in Tasmania.
	5:11am Brian D: Keeping to people we agree with is also dangerous, Fred. And you're right. Now, to be fair, I'm only basing my assessment on the op-ed columnists in the newspapers I read.
	5:12am Brian D: I'm surprised his parents had heard of Tasmania, outside of the Bugs Bunny cartoons, Scott.
	5:15am fred: I guess the tasmanian devil character is the sum total of what many "know" about Tasmania
	5:15am Scott67: The same Looney Toons Cartoon which depicted the Tasmanian Devil terrorizing African Animals.
	5:16am Brian D: Right. Sad.
	5:16am Brian D: First Dog on the Moon based in Tasmania, no?
	5:17am Brian D: And Hannah Gadsby from there as well, I believe.
	5:19am Scott67: & Errol Flynn.
	5:20am Brian D: And a beautiful place, I'm told.
	5:22am Scott67: & Neil Davis. 📽😑💥🔫
	5:23am fred: To me, learning about opposing views isn't just oppo research. It's about understanding where they're coming from. And sometimes, they can be right
	5:26am Brian D: Dialogue is vital, Fred.
	5:27am Scott67: Lived there for a couple of years early 90's. Bloody magnificent place. But Corporate arseholes wanna put a cable car up Kunanyi / Mt. Wellington. Which overlooks Hobart. Something I am passionately against.
	5:41am fred: @Brian: I draw the line at xenophobia/racism. I had an argument about that with fellow leftists two days ago. The moment you go there, I'm not just tuning out, I'm actively opposing you. Which means nothing, but still
	5:45am Scott67: Australia's shame!! It disgusts me.
	⚡ 5:47am Heidee: Good morning all! What do I hear, Scott, hun, get better 🔜 🍭🎈
	5:48am Brian D: Good place to draw the line, Fred. And Scott, plenty of shame to go around on that front, sadly.
	5:48am Brian D: Hi Heidee!
	⚡ 5:49am Heidee: Hi Brian!
	5:50am fred: That we can feel shame about our country is sad (we didn't do it) but also hopeful (we can demand better, maybe)
	5:50am Scott67: Cheers Heidee! ✌😎🤙💨☕🌷
	5:55am Brian D: As always, a pleasure sharing the radio airwaves with you all today. Stay safe and have a great week.
	5:56am Avrilinmay: yes to waking up immediately to this ! (Cat Power's latest every morning these last few days. the feeling of a certain calm despite its melancholy it brings..it became necessary...) Thank you Brian! Morning everyone
	5:56am Scott67: Fred, my Country, the white version. Was started in shame, when it denied the rightful exsistence & sovereignty of the inhabitants who had lived here for over 50,000 years.
	5:58am Scott67: Thanks Brian.✌😎🤙🌏💜🇺🇦
	5:58am fred: Chan can't do wrong by me. I saw a show many years ago that was bad yet great
	5:59am Scott67: G'day Avril ✌😎🌷
	6:33am Avrilinmay: ... and the war needs to not happen

	4:59am fred: @Brian: I hear you. I've been reading The American Conservative for years, but the quality plummeted recently (the architecture/urbanism section especially). I might have to go to National Review more often. I still want to read Dreher: I hate what he says, but he used to be articulate about it (less so lately)
	5:03am Brian D: @Fred, not a lot of "great" conservative thinkers on this side of the pond, I don't think. Not my end of the political spectrum, personally, but the lack of thought among many on that end means we don't really have an exchange of ideas any longer.

	5:27am Scott67: Lived there for a couple of years early 90's. Bloody magnificent place. But Corporate arseholes wanna put a cable car up Kunanyi / Mt. Wellington. Which overlooks Hobart. Something I am passionately against.
