Listener comments!
	3:01am Scott67: G'day Brian & Currents, from a rather damp South Eastern Australia! 🌏💻🎶🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌻
	3:09am Brian D: Hey Scott! Wondered how you were doing down there! Stay safe! Hello everyone!
	⚡ 3:24am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian, Scott! And hyvää huomenta from cool and damp southern Finland.
	3:25am Brian D: Greetings Don!
	3:30am fred: Hello Brian and all
	3:32am Brian D: Bonjour Fred!
	3:37am Scott67: I'm all for naked voice Brian!
	3:38am nidrian: Greetings everyone!
	⚡ 3:43am Don in Tampere: I am listening to your description of Blonde now. Interesting that you say it is worth watching. I may still have to try it out. I had read some quite negative reviews and wasn't sure.
	⚡ 3:43am Don in Tampere: Some said it focused too strongly on victimization
	⚡ 3:43am Don in Tampere: sonically?
	3:45am Scott67: Gosh! The perpetual "President" of China has proclaimed the elimination of Poverty. From the most populace Nation on Earth, that's a pretty big call. Lucky he said it with a straight face!💩
	3:45am Destroit: Hello Cap’n Currents and all the nice people. Glad to be here.
	3:46am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian and Brianacs
	3:47am Brian D: I wish him luck with that, Scott. Hello Destroit and Chris!
	3:48am Scott67: Brian, I wish he & all Despots would die suddenly & Globally!☠️
	3:50am fred: The show's title reminds me that I listened to Ilitch's "Lena's life & other stories" for the first time this week and liked it a lot
	3:51am Brian D: @Don @3:43, I wouln't say it focused too much on victimization, but it made up storylines in which she was a victim, when there were plenty of "real" examples of that. There was a scene with JFK that I also thought was gratuitous.
	3:53am Paulo AD: Hey dudes, checking in from Brighton... I'm very hungover
	3:53am Brian D: Paulo! Brighton! Lucky you.
	3:54am Brian D: @Fred, I want to listen to that. It came up on my bandcamp notifications... this week maybe?
	3:55am Paulo AD: Yes sir, just been back to the motherland too
	3:55am fred: Paulo! Did you meet listeners while in London? And how was the show?
	3:56am Scott67: Paulo, wailing from a Wales wingding & a Brighton buddy fueled beer binge! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	⚡ 3:58am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & early/late risers from a beautiful sunny South Shropshire. The light is so clear to can see right through to tomorrow after last nights rain.
	3:58am Scott67: I'm imagining your Aussie post TRASH CULT hangover now Paulo! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	3:59am Paulo AD: Fred I missed David unfortunately :( I also give the show 6/10, so much late era and we go told to stop singing and enjoying ourselves
	3:59am Paulo AD: Scotty, I'm hoping it's the same size haha
	3:59am Scott67: G'day Brian, don't mention the Cricket mate! 🍻😎🤙💨☕🏏
	3:59am Brian D: If only I brought some Manic Street Preachers with me in honor of the trip Paulo. Hello Brian!
	⚡ 4:02am Brian in UK: Scott, hello. Would not dare to. The Aussies always improve during a tournament, so would not bet against them in the next few weeks. The Aussie MotoGP should be on in a couple of hours here. Was not getting up at silly o'clock to watch it live. So no spoilers please mate.
	4:02am Paulo AD: Brain, it's the thought that counts 👍
	4:03am Brian D: Who did you see Paulo?
	4:03am Paulo AD: And also thank you, I love you very much my friend
	4:03am Chris Crisco: Throw Abbortion and his wheelchair off a cliff.
	4:04am Paulo AD: Roxy music, I was so happy to see a gig on the first song I cried haha not been to a gig since 2018
	4:05am Brian D: Wow. Almost saw Roxy here a few weeks ago.
	⚡ 4:05am Brian in UK: Brian, this government is reaching new lows but this is sick. leftfootforward.org...
	4:06am Scott67: Didn't watch it live Brian! Too busy soaking up some precious Sunshine with my Dog. After days of constant rain, flood waters rise still despite the Sun. More heavy rain due this week. 🍻😎🤙
	4:10am fred: @Brian in UK: The title of the show mentions "blondes", plural. Maybe one of the others is your current PM (who may not be current for long, it seems)
	4:10am Brian D: How do these people sleep at night @Brian?
	4:11am Brian D: Regardless of your stance on immigration, these are human beings.
	⚡ 4:12am Michael of Cologne: Hi there Brian & all. Especially thinking of Scott taking his dog for a walk on very soggy ground. Bright sun here this morning.
	4:13am Brian D: Hello Michael!
	4:13am Paulo AD: Scott the meet up has been moved to the Friday if that's cool
	4:15am Scott67: At the risk of sounding Racist. Some of the most Racist Australians are Migrants who've made good here. As if they're afraid of the next Desperately appreciative refugees will outwork them & steal their status.
	4:16am Chris Crisco: Immigration could have been settled in 2013 with border security in exchange for a path to citizenship. It passed the Senate and had the votes to pass in the House Of Representatives. The racist caucus prevented a vote on it.
	⚡ 4:16am Brian in UK: You know, ex-smokers can be the most vociferous against smoking. Well second generation immigrants might just be the same. The previous home secretary, Priti Patel started this Rwanda fiasco.
	4:18am Scott67: Friday is better mate! Saturday is usually Band Night, if there's a booking. We may havta drink deep to keep Mick open late on Friday night. What's the date again? I will book the joint if we need to, & I will invite some local colour to drink with us. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	4:20am Paulo AD: I wouldn't day that was racist Scotty. Thees some heavy rascim regarding migrants at home which is odd cone the population ti's 80% migrants
	4:20am Paulo AD: I fucking HATE priti patel
	4:21am Scott67: I may mention now, I had a drink Saturday in TRASH CULT, with a good mate of Warren Ellis & Nick Cave. Gave her a massive hug cos a huge Gum tree fell on her home, destroying it & knocking her daughter unconscious.
	4:22am Brian D: Because of the storms Scott? Awful.
	⚡ 4:23am Brian in UK: Paulo. Do not worry she hates everyone. She did not back either of the leadership candidates. Keeping her powder dry because she knows that Truss was doomed before she started. Then might run in the future. Be afraid.
	4:27am Scott67: 2nd & 3rd... Generation Migrants I may add. They are far enough removed from their forebears hardship. & selfish in their inherited privilege.
	4:27am fred: @Scott and Paulo: If heavy drinking is required to keep Thrash Cult open, I'm sure you'll rise to the challenge. Just be careful on the way back, and don't plan much for the next day
	4:27am Brian D: Johnson... Truss... Patel... seriously, is it a race to the bottom? (Not that I should talk in the US.)
	4:28am Paulo AD: Brian UK, that's a terrifing thought. Though rumors are that's the torys want Labour to come in now to clean up the mess and get themselves covered in shit
	4:28am Scott67: Fred, I think Paulo is booking a Motel Room a 5 minute stagger up the road. & Mick will drop me home on his way home.
	4:29am Paulo AD: Scotty, it's the 11
	4:30am Scott67: SHITTTT!!! Sorry Brian! Just saw the Moto GP report on the News. I will say no more mate.
	⚡ 4:31am Brian in UK: Brian D. Never voted Conservative but the previous generation look benign compared to this lot. They have nothing more than a need for power with no policy direction. If you listen carefully you can hear the bottom of the barrel being scraped.
	4:32am Paulo AD: Brian d, it's the shortest dwarf competition really :( I'm so happy I took my money out of the uk
	4:32am fred: That use of Satie's gymnopedie isn't the most imaginative I've heard
	4:34am Brian D: @Brian, imagine a world in which Thatcher looks benign -- granted, that's a couple of generations back, but still.
	⚡ 4:34am Brian in UK: Oh & this is the new health secretary. news.sky.com...
	4:35am Paulo AD: What is this sample
	4:36am Paulo AD: Fuck thatcher and everyone around here. Ruined my town
	4:38am Brian D: Egads, @Brian.
	4:40am Brian D: I don't know what Stewart samples on that song? Anyone?
	4:40am fred: @Brian D: That sounds like Truss' dream world
	4:40am Scott67: Australia has had exactly the same style of Conservative Government. Now thankfully we have Voted into power Labor. But the Liberal (Conservative) Party is now throwing their shit at them, as Labor tries to clean it up.
	⚡ 4:41am Brian in UK: Quite depressing now when I make a pledge that £ & $ are almost level.
	4:42am fred: @Paulo & Brian: Do you mean the piano sample? That's Erik Satie's gymnopedie n°1
	4:43am Scott67: Aussie Dollar buys .63 Cents US. So pardon me not Pledging this Hellraiser. My 365 Swag For Life is killin me.
	4:52am Brian D: Thank you Fred!
	4:53am Brian D: No pardon needed, Scott.
	4:54am Paulo AD: Thanks alot Fred, I was bugging keri and i
	4:55am Paulo AD: First show I pledged to (well and Jesse). Not always I can listen live these days but always get you on catch up
	4:57am Brian D: Appreciate you, Paulo. Appreciate all of you, in fact.
	⚡ 4:57am Don in Tampere: Just made another Hellraiser top-up, this time to Currents; got Wake-n-Bake earlier this week.
	5:01am Brian D: Thank you, sir.
	5:03am Chris Crisco: Got you last week Brian. I'm new to this show but now being in New Zealand where this previously ungodly hour is a lot more godly now it's becoming a fave!
	5:04am Brian D: Thank you, Chris.
	5:11am fred: @Brian: You wrote earlier that the Ilitch record I mentioned came up on your notifications. That's weird, do you follow him? He's a friend, so he'd probably like to know about how it happened (he's puzzled about random spikes in orders, meaning 10 in a week)
	5:12am Brian D: Bandcamp sends out notifications to regular purchases, I guess based on our "tastes?" I don't follow Ilitch, but I guess I must follow similar artists?
	5:13am Paulo AD: I proper zoned out to runes order
	5:15am Chris Crisco: Stunning how fast Myanmar has backslid into tyranny. They flat out broke Suu Kyi. She caved in and didn't say shit about the Rohingya genocide and they busted her anyway. Fucking butchers.
	5:18am Paulo AD: Is this guy from Bristol?
	5:19am Brian D: Yessir... duo actually.
	5:19am fred: @Brian: Thanks, that's helpful, if not actionable, information.
	5:25am Scott67: Say g'day to Keri for me Paulo!🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻❤️
	⚡ 5:25am Brian in UK: Can we have more Sophia Loren. Goodness gracious me!
	5:28am Brian D: She is lovely. She appeared on the cover of a magazine I used to work for -- despite it being a small, inconsequential magazine.
	5:36am LiXiviated Life: It’s dark outside
	5:37am Brian D: Indded it is, Lix. Good morning.
	⚡ 5:45am Brian in UK: Brian, you might like this. For later. www.youtube.com...
	⚡ 5:49am Brian in UK: Nice work Brian & commenters. Have a cool week.
	5:49am Brian D: Nice clip, Brian.
	5:52am morphe': Once again forgot the time = just tuned in ... I'll go to the archive later.. Thanks BD .. Thinking of "Space is the Place" = Sun Ra Doc...
	5:54am Brian D: Better late than never, Morphe. William Parker is definitely from the same solar system as Sun Ra.
	5:54am fred: I never saw William Parker. Came close once, but a transit strike nixed it. I support unions, but it hurt
	5:56am Brian D: He's still playing out. In fact, the sax player on this record, Rob Brown, just played a show with him in NYC two weeks ago. Rob is an acquaintance.
	5:56am Brian D: * Alto sax
	5:57am Brian D: Alright folks, on that note, I'm out. Thank you for listening and joining in the fray. Stay safe and have a great week.
	⚡ 5:58am Michael of Cologne: All Strung Up 1) Negative, a dim view of the world, Critical, yet one more fault unfurled Disgruntled, things downhill inch by inch Loaded, nerves at breaking pitch Edgy, poised upon the brink Despondent, who's brave heart would not sink? Entangled, tied up in a knot Despairing, confronted with shall-nots

	5:12am Brian D: Bandcamp sends out notifications to regular purchases, I guess based on our "tastes?" I don't follow Ilitch, but I guess I must follow similar artists?
	5:13am Paulo AD: I proper zoned out to runes order
	5:15am Chris Crisco: Stunning how fast Myanmar has backslid into tyranny. They flat out broke Suu Kyi. She caved in and didn't say shit about the Rohingya genocide and they busted her anyway. Fucking butchers.
	5:18am Paulo AD: Is this guy from Bristol?
	5:19am Brian D: Yessir... duo actually.
	5:19am fred: @Brian: Thanks, that's helpful, if not actionable, information.
	5:25am Scott67: Say g'day to Keri for me Paulo!🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻❤️
	⚡ 5:25am Brian in UK: Can we have more Sophia Loren. Goodness gracious me!
	5:28am Brian D: She is lovely. She appeared on the cover of a magazine I used to work for -- despite it being a small, inconsequential magazine.
	5:36am LiXiviated Life: It’s dark outside
	5:37am Brian D: Indded it is, Lix. Good morning.
	⚡ 5:45am Brian in UK: Brian, you might like this. For later. www.youtube.com...
	⚡ 5:49am Brian in UK: Nice work Brian & commenters. Have a cool week.
	5:49am Brian D: Nice clip, Brian.
	5:52am morphe': Once again forgot the time = just tuned in ... I'll go to the archive later.. Thanks BD .. Thinking of "Space is the Place" = Sun Ra Doc...
	5:54am Brian D: Better late than never, Morphe. William Parker is definitely from the same solar system as Sun Ra.
	5:54am fred: I never saw William Parker. Came close once, but a transit strike nixed it. I support unions, but it hurt
	5:56am Brian D: He's still playing out. In fact, the sax player on this record, Rob Brown, just played a show with him in NYC two weeks ago. Rob is an acquaintance.
	5:56am Brian D: * Alto sax
	5:57am Brian D: Alright folks, on that note, I'm out. Thank you for listening and joining in the fray. Stay safe and have a great week.
	⚡ 5:58am Michael of Cologne: All Strung Up 1) Negative, a dim view of the world, Critical, yet one more fault unfurled Disgruntled, things downhill inch by inch Loaded, nerves at breaking pitch Edgy, poised upon the brink Despondent, who's brave heart would not sink? Entangled, tied up in a knot Despairing, confronted with shall-nots
