	3:07am tom tom the pipers son: its a quick read. i'll be taking out her second book from the library
	3:08am timinoak: Don't these punk rockers realise realise that love makes the world go around
	3:08am Guido from Cologne: PIL in their groundbreaking years. A pity they couldn't cope with each other.
	3:08am Hubig Pie: Anger is an energy, yo
	3:10am tom tom the pipers son: viv's boyfriend
	⚡ 3:12am Don in Tampere: Good morning, Brian and all!
	3:15am fred: Good morning Brian and all
	3:15am Brian D: Don! Fred!
	3:18am Amir from Iran: loving this
	3:19am LiXiviated Life: Right then 3:00 AM I’m awake What have I missed?
	3:20am LiXiviated Life: Murder Death Disaster I guess I haven’t missed much
	3:22am Brian D: Sadly, no, Lix.
	3:23am LiXiviated Life: Just once I’d like something new Alien invasion Unicorns Something that’s not murder death and disaster
	3:24am tom tom the pipers son: another one who figures in v.a. autobiography
	3:24am Brian D: Great minds, Tom Tom...
	3:25am fred: I didn't sleep enough, I guess I'm still riding the high of the return of Bryce.
	3:25am LiXiviated Life: I’ll settle for this Pretenders
	3:26am Brian D: Ha Fred! Was so excited to hear Bryce again.
	3:26am tom tom the pipers son: did she say new age film maker?
	3:27am LiXiviated Life: New wave I heard No?
	3:28am tom tom the pipers son: at first go round i thought she said new age
	3:28am Brian D: New wave is correct. Now you're making me wonder, though, Tom Tom...
	3:29am Brian D: I'll listen to the clip again at first opportunity.
	3:30am tom tom the pipers son: when it started , i thought she said new age then later new wave
	3:33am fred: I missed the end of Bryce's show to go to a concert, but most of it (especially the first piece) would have fit in Bryce's show, so it was a seamless transition
	3:35am LiXiviated Life: Why is it that I need seem to always need To turn on subtitles to understand the English speaking on TV when it’s the only language I know? I mean, it’s their language you’d think they could learn to speak it clearly. 😁
	3:40am Brian D: My wife says the same thing @Lix. Though, to be fair, they say the same about us.
	3:41am fred: @Brian: Any thoughts about the Chile referendum? It's confusing to me
	3:41am tom tom the pipers son: liked how stephen colbert described desantis' bussing of migrants as human trafficking
	3:42am Brian D: Plenty Fred. Confusing to me as well. Seems to directly contradict the election result.
	3:43am Brian D: It also saddles them with the same, very flawed constitution. You have to wonder if there were "outside influences" on the vote.
	3:53am fred: I know a guy who's been supposedly working on a thesis about Godard for like close to 30 years. His excuse was that there was always more that changed the perspective. He has no excuse now
	4:03am Ike: Good evening.
	4:03am Brian D: Well, there's always an excuse, Fred. You know there will be "director's cuts" coming out soon...
	4:03am Brian D: Ike!
	4:07am fred: One of the pieces on that contemporary music show that made me miss part of Bryce's show was an audience performance of a U2 song on kazoo (helpfully provided). That was fun, stupid but not stupid
	4:08am Ike: I'm much more of a cat person, but somebody at Hell Gate came up with the ridiculous headline "Dogs Don’t Belong in New York City" and I was reminded of how much social media pushes journalism to depend on cheap outrage to drive clicks. Nice try, Hell Gate, but I am not clicking on that.
	4:10am Brian D: Fred, sometimes stupid is fun. And Ike, I'm glad I didn't see that Hell Gate headline. I'd have cancelled my sub.
	4:11am Brian D: @Tom Tom, if you're still here, the France24 host DID say "new age." Ugh. Live broadcasting is tough, as I prove weekly.
	4:13am Ike: Such storied local journalists as Ross Barkan seem to depend on this tactic as well. Lately I see a number of silly hot takes from him. I wonder if Mark has covered this on Techtonic, because I believe social media helps drive this inclination. Hot takes abound on Twitter and Facebook and people engage more often with things that outrage them. Yikes.
	4:14am tom tom the pipers son: glad i wasn't hearing things
	4:15am fred: I wish I had met the composer before (I'll try to before he leaves), because he referred to Negativland and copyright (I was wearing a Techtonic T-shirt). I usually meet young composers, but COVID got in the way
	4:16am tom tom the pipers son: louis c.k. admitted he did what he was accused of and did make some kind of apology
	4:18am fred: @Ike: Stones, glass, Felder. You are people too
	⚡ 4:19am Michael of Cologne: 'Morning Brian & all.
	4:21am Brian D: Outrage sells, Ike, and journalists need the clicks for dough.
	4:24am Brian D: Hello Michael!
	4:25am Brian D: To be clear @Ike, I'm not defending the practice. But I know that media outlets and those who work for them have to scramble for the all the attention -- and money -- they can get. And, in today's environment, attention IS money. I hate that about the industry but that's where we are.
	4:28am cbunny: i like what you’re doing here. thank you for that shilpa track. one of a few here to play with that sharp sets tonite
	⚡ 4:29am Michael of Cologne: @Brian: gainful game. We're all in it.
	4:30am Brian D: Indeed Michael, and thank you @cbunny. Shilpa is awesome. Others play her here. Olivia on Radio Ravioli for one.
	4:35am fred: There's occasional talk of language talk on the radio, about what is obscene. Yet no objection to Musk or Bezos level of wealth
	4:43am Brian D: Odd how we define obscenity, eh Fred?
	4:47am morphe': Fred: A small toyshop owner in Dingle, Ireland - gentle nice guy - was ranting yesterday about the ESB (Electric co) making 357 million Euro profit in the last 6 months [compared to roughly 100 last yaer in the same period] raising prices with the "cost of fuel/shortage" scare ... Money for Board Members while the working poor are losing their homes...
	⚡ 4:50am Brian in UK: Good morning Brian & Co.
	4:51am Brian D: Hello Morphe. Yes, what people don't seem to see is that "government assistance with energy bills," at least as currently constituted, is subsidies for hugely profitable energy corporations.
	4:51am Brian D: Hello Brian!
	⚡ 4:53am Brian in UK: The threat of being sent to 'friendly' Rwanda has only increased the poor souls crossing the channel. I fear the new Home Secretary will be worse than the last.
	4:54am Brian D: Yes, Brian, seems so. Migrants being treated as political pawns everywhere, it seems.
	4:57am morphe': The Mayor of Iguala has been "exhonerated" but faces other charges... https://www.npr.org/2022/09/16/1123397465/mexico-arrests-a-retired-general-in-the-case-of-dozens-of-missing-students
	⚡ 5:14am Don in Tampere: Apparently Nick Cave and Brad Pitt made a surprise appearance in Tampere yesterday at the opening of their friend Thomas Houseago's exhibition at the Sara Hildén gallery. So far only reports in Finnish: kulttuuritoimitus.fi...
	5:19am P.Welles: god Nick is terrible.
	5:20am ryansterlingvirtue: So happy to wake up to this. Thanks
	⚡ 5:23am Michael of Cologne: Elegy for Language 4): Kneeling in the doorway, pleading for you to stay How's our home to be refurbished, if you go away? Was it our utter deafness, that occasioned your dismay?
	5:43am kevlicki: Morning Brian, had to pause the show cos there’s a great horned owl outside my window this morning! Listening to it call while getting ready for the day
	5:44am tom tom the pipers son: heading out... thanks for clearing up the age/ wave controversy brian, enjoyed the show...
	5:49am Brian D: Thank YOU Tom. And good morning, Kev. The owl takes precedence.
	5:50am morphe': Thanks BD and all !!!
	⚡ 5:51am Michael of Cologne: Have a great hol, Brian & your missus & doggies! Thanks for the show, as ever diverse.
	5:52am Cab🚖Captain, in the realm odds: heheH
	5:52am Brian D: Thank you all for joining me this week. I'll miss you next week (truly). Stay safe, have a great fortnight, and be nice to Jen B. next week. See you in two weeks.
