	♥ 3:01am Scott67: G'day Brian & Currents Crew! 🍻😎🤙🌏🌻
	3:11am Brian D: Scott! Everyone!
	♥ 3:15am Scott67: INXS classic!!
	♥ 3:16am fred: Hello Brian and Scott
	♥ 3:17am Scott67: I'm singing along to this mate!
	♥ 3:18am Scott67: G'day Fred!🍻😎🤙💨☕
	♥ 3:19am Scott67: Feel like stroking a Whippet now!
	3:20am Brian D: Fred!
	3:22am Don in Tampere: Good morning, Brian and all. Fred, are you sweltering? I read about serious heat waves in western Europe. We had sun and high 60s during the week but it's a rainy, 15 C weekend.
	3:23am Brian D: Hello Don. My kinda weather there.
	♥ 3:23am fred: It was hot the past few days, but there just was a storm that cooled things down
	♥ 3:24am Scott67: 60 Celsius?????? Don't think so!
	3:27am LiXiviated Life: hello electronic symbols on a screen people. it’s exactly that time again
	3:30am Brian D: Lix...
	3:33am Cooh John: Hello Brian D. Don't get to visit often but love your show.
	♥ 3:34am Scott67: You still up Cooh.J?🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	3:35am Brian D: Thanks Cooh J. Always good to have you.
	3:37am LiXiviated Life: An erroneous yet completely intentional over consumption of highly caffeinated beverages has disrupted my regular sleep pattern. So, here we are.
	3:40am Don in Tampere: Scott, apologies for mixing my units! As a scientist, I should know better. Yep, we had sun and 19-20 C during the week, 15 C on the weekend
	♥ 3:43am Scott67: No worries Don. 🍻😎🤙
	♥ 3:49am Denis: I'd be interested to read The Patagonian Express now. It's been a long time since I read it, but I would have counted The Mosquito Coast (published a couple of years later) among my favourite novels at one point.
	3:51am Brian D: "Beats," for those interested: en.wikipedia.org...
	3:58am LiXiviated Life: why so much to do over words ?
	4:02am LiXiviated Life: authors thrown in jail or killed because of words
	4:03am Brian D: Valid question, Lix.
	4:06am LiXiviated Life: my words reveal my thoughts and if you don’t like what I’m thinking then I should be killed?
	4:10am LiXiviated Life: Humanity Not Gods best idea.
	♥ 4:12am fred: @LiX: "We apologize for the inconvenience"
	♥ 4:14am Destroit: Diggin the tunes
	4:16am Don in Tampere: Oh, we got some Finnish content now!
	♥ 4:22am fred: I'm off to vote
	4:22am Michael of Cologne: Good morning Brian & all. Had a sweltering 35 C° here yesterday, but today cooled off. Thanks for your good words, Brian.
	4:25am 🎧: Blow up the phonograph
	4:27am Brian D: Fred, voting is starting to become habit-forming for you.
	4:27am Brian D: Hello Michael!
	4:31am LiXiviated Life: So maybe that self editing done by Lizzo was not about her concern about one fan but about Lizzo wanting to appear as if she has concern about one fan.
	4:32am LiXiviated Life: I’m just say’n “what if”
	4:33am Brian D: A valid point, Lix.
	4:39am LiXiviated Life: other people are the primary reason why some people prefer the company of animals
	4:39am Don in Tampere: Fred, it's national assembly today, right? Will be curious to see if the alliance of left parties makes a strong enough showing to hamper some of Macron's more extreme neolib plans. At least if I remember correctly that you're in France.
	♥ 4:40am fred: Done. It was the runoff from last week, there shouldn't be another one for a while. Not that it's much of a hassle anyway
	4:40am Brian D: Dom Phillips obit, for those interested: www.washingtonpost.com...
	♥ 4:42am fred: @Don: You're right, and I hope Macron will not have a strong majority (though I'm not optimistic). Turnout should be low, so it's unpredictable
	4:44am Brian D: Just curious, Fred, what's "low turnout" in France?
	4:45am Michael of Cologne: @Fred Praise of compulsory voting -- keeps things in the centre, for what it's worth.
	♥ 4:47am fred: @Brian: Turnout was 47% last week, which is low here
	4:48am Brian D: Wow. 47% is considered pretty high here. Normally. 2020 was an exception.
	♥ 4:53am fred: A minister who is running for a seat called the left alliance "anarchists". She must not know anarchists very well. 5 parties uniting, even for a short while is not the anarchist MO. More like one group splintering into 5 every time they meet
	4:53am LiXiviated Life: I wonder if I wouldn’t be better off not knowing about what’s going on else where. because things don’t seem so good for humans generally speaking
	5:00am Brian D: Voting would seem antithetical to true anarchists, too, no?
	♥ 5:01am fred: @LiX: I found many times that knowing a little about current events elsewhere is a great way to make a connection with people I meet. A striking example was being approached by LDS people in the street and mentioning BYU, Joseph Smith and Romney's time in Paris totally changed the conversation (they basically forgot to talk about religion)
	♥ 5:04am fred: @Brian: You're very right on that, except on union votes for the anarcho-syndicalist subset, which is (relatively) strong here
	5:06am LiXiviated Life: humans running around trying to get other humans to think and act a certain way for whatever reason as if everything would be just fine if they did, when the reality is that no matter what we believe or how we behave, everybody dies at some point and nothing you think or do is going to stop that from happening. everything falls apart the universe is in entropy why ruin the few moments of joy we may have
	5:11am LiXiviated Life: @fred I know that you make a valid point but I don’t have a great deal of hope anymore. You’re right I’m just tired of the inhumanity
	5:17am LiXiviated Life: In about 9 minutes the sun will rise I’ll go outside walk the dog and maybe feel better about the world
	5:18am Don in Tampere: Really enjoying this show. Unfortunately, in a few minutes I'll have to sign out because I have to review an EU project this week and have an insane amount of documents to read for it. Have a good Sunday!
	5:19am Brian D: The Currents Canine Contingent always helps me, @Lix.
	5:19am Brian D: You too, Don. Stay safe!
	♥ 5:19am fred: @Don: EU project documents, ugh. I know what you're talking about. Good luck!
	5:23am Cooh John: Thanks for the great show. Drifted in an out.
	5:24am Don in Tampere: @fred, yep, Deliverable reports out the wazoo. Bye all!
	5:25am Cooh John: Read Duncan's book.
	5:29am Brian D: Duncan a guest on Todd-O-Phonic Todd's show a while back. Worth checking out in the archives for those of you who haven't heard it.
	5:33am LiXiviated Life: Thank you Brian for putting together this program and thank you everyone for your electronic companionship and your tolerance of my rambling text. I’ll be try to be better behaved in the near future.
	5:34am Cooh John: Heard the interview. Saw Todd last night and thanked him.
	5:35am Brian D: You're always welcome, Lix. Enjoy the morning walk.
	5:35am Brian D: I haven't seen Todd in more than 2 years. He's probably thrilled.
	5:39am Cooh John: Good guy, that Todd.
	♥ 5:39am fred: Chris Abrahams, nice! I saw The Necks many times, but never him solo. I got a chance but missed it because of public transit trouble (I was told attendance was sparse, which makes me feel guilty)
	5:40am Brian D: Indeed he is @Cooh.
	5:41am Brian D: We'll be hearing more from Chris Abrahams. His new solo release sounds incredible.
	5:47am TDK60: Good morning, DJ Brian.
	5:48am Cooh John: I had tickets to see The Necks 2 years ago. They were playing in a town 45 minutes from my house. The show was covid cancelled.😔
	5:48am Brian D: Greetings TDK.
	5:56am Brian D: Thank you all for joining me, as always. Have a great week and stay safe!
	5:57am Cooh John: Knew it would be Dylan. Adios everyone. Off to the airport.
	♥ 5:58am john_zilla: good morning everyone. Brian thanks for your show
