	3:01am Foutracbaldisco: Hi Brian and all! I put the speakers outside, and will listen to your show while I'm making my compost, alternating straw stratas and horse dung stratas.
	3:02am alan the painter: With you...turning it up...
	⚡ 3:03am tom tom the pipers son: hi brian and others
	3:04am Scott67: G'day Brian & Go with the flows! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	3:05am Brian D: Hello all! Had no idea Abbie was going to end so mellow...
	⚡ 3:08am Michael of Cologne: Hello Brian & all on this cold Cologne morning. I'm keeping my 9 speakers warm inside.
	3:13am London Calling Francky: Morning all from freezing grey foggy London Town! Also keeping well inside as I am putting the final touches to the University In-class Tests my 380 undergrad students are going to be taking over the next 2 days.
	⚡ 3:16am Don in Tampere: Good morning Brian, Scott, Foutracbaldisco, alan, tom, Francky, and gude Morsche Michael!
	3:16am Brian D: Welcome, Francky. Hope the show is conducive to the work.
	⚡ 3:17am tom tom the pipers son: gd mornin don
	⚡ 3:21am Michael of Cologne: @LC Francky: 380 students! I have only one post-grad non-student, and she's currently at Roma Tre on an Erasmus Scholarship. So really I have no students, and liking it.
	3:21am London Calling Francky: Thank you Brian :-) I would say that the Ramones + Animal Collective start was exactly what my brain cells needed to go from "Sunday Sleepy" mode to "Academic Questions Checking" mode. Excellent show so far, Brian!
	3:21am Scott67: G'day Don! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	⚡ 3:22am Michael of Cologne: A good Finnish morning to you, Don!
	3:22am katharsis: Hellos Brian and all
	3:22am London Calling Francky: @Michael of C: sounds like academic paradise!
	3:24am Brian D: Happy to help, Francky. And cheers. Hello Michael, Don, Scott, Tom Tom, Katharsis.
	3:25am katharsis: Was that talk about immunotherapy?
	3:26am Brian D: More info, Katharsis: www.technologynetworks.com...
	3:35am katharsis: Cool. Adam Ant-first records I ever bought. I had them all.
	⚡ 3:39am tom tom the pipers son: walking around london one early morning about 15 years ago i saw adam ant being let out of a young woman's house and get in a cab. i was tempted to step in front of the cab and sing "stand and deliver your money or your life", but didn't have the nerve
	3:46am Luisa24: Fucking Goofy
	3:46am katharsis: F ing goofy
	3:47am Brian D: BOOM. Luisa gets the points. Congrats and thanks for playing.
	3:47am egould: Luisa 5 points
	⚡ 3:47am Don in Tampere: One advantage of being non-Finnish (and of being a chemist/materials scientist in an electrical engineering department) is that I only teach master-level classes, so never more than 20 people. My third-from-last doctoral student defends this coming Friday, so after that I just have one more course to teach and two more students to get through their Ph.D.s and then I can become a full-time banjo player.
	3:48am Luisa24: Woohoo! 5 more points than I had before! Feels so good !
	3:50am alan the painter: OK, butt do you bicycle?!? Does help(yelp) channel the stress!
	3:51am Brian D: I run, Alan. Very slowly, but still.
	⚡ 3:55am Michael of Cologne: I had absolutely no fucking idea of that punch line.
	3:56am Brian D: I hope it was a pleasant surprise, Michael.
	3:57am alan the painter: very good running or walking you (one) has to move their wHole body, lift all that weight. Maybe I'm jus to lazy to do more walking and am a speed freque for that glide. Last month biking through Phila. discovering the outter regions of the city limits, Wissahickon Gorge et al. biking 13 to 26mls a day, dropping 30lbs, still tough to peddle over borough bridges, Brooklyn and Mans_hat_on still get me...
	⚡ 3:57am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & folks. Quick intro/outro before dog walking.
	3:57am London Calling Francky: @Don in T: I hope you give a banjo farewell to your students on your last day!
	⚡ 4:02am Michael of Cologne: Yes, Brian, great punch line. At my small-town station 2KA in Katoomba when I was a teenager, we had a DJ who'd say outrageous things like "Christ on a crutch singin' Hallelujah!" Is that allowed in the hyporcritical-puritanical U.S.?
	4:02am Brian D: Good morning, Brian. Ala, that's impressive. I run 2-3 miles. Maybe 4 once in a while. 3 times a week. It helps. Plus, I walk the Currents Canine Contingent.
	4:02am katharsis: @don just keep going
	4:04am Brian D: Michael, I think we can say that on the air here, but that could change...
	⚡ 4:11am Don in Tampere: I had to drop running a number of years ago due to knees that were destined for trouble after I got hit by a car as a 14-year-old (one is already replaced, the other will need it eventually), but cycling, swimming, Nordic walking and cross-country skiing all work fine. During the warm part of the year, I cycle the hilly 9 miles each way to work when weather permits. Alan, I won't subject my students to that, but my first doctoral student actually asked me to play at her post-defense dinner party (calld karonka here)
	4:12am katharsis: It’s so complicated. I spent all day reading about the close relationship between Christianity and war then I dressed up like an angel and rode on a float in the holiday parade with a new age hippy church. I just muddle through.
	4:16am Brian D: That bike ride sounds perfect, Don. We all do what we can, Katharsis. A sports team here in the US hosts "Christian Nights" at their stadium, with US military leaders usually the guests of honor.
	⚡ 4:17am tom tom the pipers son: for some the crusades are never over
	4:22am Destroit: Hello Brian and everyone…glad to be here.
	4:23am Brian D: Indeed, Tom Tom. Hello Destroit. Glad to have you.
	4:23am Luisa24: really great show this morning btw. super good tunes
	4:23am Brian D: Cheers, Luisa.
	⚡ 4:25am tom tom the pipers son: i used to know hamish, got a lot of work for him... this is disturbing
	4:27am Brian D: Yes, Tom Tom. It is. Hoping he's okay, obviously.
	4:33am cbunny: Hamish occasionally posts on believe it or not fb from time to time. his last post wasn’t that long ago. but yes wish him the best and good on you for playing one of his tracks.

	4:46am Morphs’: Found my glasses and the cast iron frying pan .. yes.. listening en real east coast time…
	4:46am cbunny: same, so same.. i missed the mark condren reference
	4:47am Brian D: He's the photographer who made the images on the playlist, cbunny.
	4:47am cbunny: real west coast time here yeh
	4:49am morphe’: Fixed my moniker.. morphe’ not morphs.. one is already too many
	4:50am Brian D: I left the last "s" off for savings, Morphe. Glad to have you either way.
	4:56am Cosmic: Good morning Brian, good morning everyone. Very happy today 💚
	4:57am morphe’: “I can’t go on …. I can,t go on … I,ll go on…” Sam Beckett
	4:57am Brian D: Good to hear Cosmic. And good morning!
	4:58am cbunny: i see them now, real time indeed
	5:06am morphe’: Language issues just in “the west “ Canada, Ire,Wales, Scotland, Belgium and … let alone so many places… folks get “marginalized”. .. my own parents refused Gaelic as there was no economic future in it in 1930s Ireland… sad stuff
	5:08am Brian D: My friend from County Monaghan (b. 1927) described learning it in school as being as useful as learning "Russian."
	5:12am LiXiviated Life: Made my yearly pilgrimage from Bear Mountain to Mount Atonement yesterday. 25th year. This morning I am paying the price. Senior discount indeed
	5:14am morphe’: BD - the teaching of it in 50s -> was a dreadful nationalist bore .. one surviving goodness is that so many witty Irish phrases do actually translate well … “was with an Irish cousin yesterday in Queens and his 2 year old barely ate his dinner and he said: “eat some more.. sure it hasn’t even touched yer ribs yet..” ythe poetry of every day life…
	5:15am LiXiviated Life: “All harmful karma ever committed by me, since of old, On account of my beginningless greed, anger and ignorance, Born of my conduct, speech and thought, Now I atone for it all.”
	5:17am Brian D: Good morning, Lix. My Monaghan friend, when he had all his faculties, used to point out all the Irish words in Shakespeare, Morphe.
	5:19am morphe’: Lix …I do the mountains … Mnt Atonement ? Are ya taking the piss or truly exists?.. I,ll tell a funny Bear Mntn .. Black Friday story when I get to my machine.. working on IPad..
	⚡ 5:20am Michael of Cologne: Goodness, Lix, what a burden to carry! It's all the hidden gods' fault whom we have not yet learned to see.
	⚡ 5:21am Michael of Cologne: Blechtrommel's Günther at it again?
	5:23am Brian D: titicacaman.com...
	5:24am Brian D: Tin Drum?
	5:31am morphe’: Speaking of the Niebelungen[sp?] Any time is a googd time to do a whole show week deadacted to Hildegard von Bingen … I found her via Tony Coulter??? Or KCR for sure…
	5:31am LiXiviated Life: Morphe The Appalachian Trail has a section that runs from Bear Mountain to Mount of Atonement which is the Graymoor Monastery. For the past 25 years a group of friends and I make the trek at this time.
	5:34am morphe’: Lix … I do the trail in bits .. from MA border to the edge of PA.. so been there.. Greymoor sounds familiar.. I will post the Black Friday tale when on a regular machine
	⚡ 5:36am Michael of Cologne: Yep, Brian, Tin Drum that first made him famous. Of course it was also made into a film.
	5:39am Brian D: Yes, yes. I've seen the film, not read the book.
	5:39am Brian D: I've actually never read any Gunther Grass.
	5:40am TDK60: Morning.
	5:41am Brian D: Hello TDK.
	5:41am Fredericks: Furioso features quite a drummer.
	5:41am morphe’: The angry boy moment(s) in the film are truly frightening …
	⚡ 5:42am Michael of Cologne: Günter Grass (sp. corrected) was a staunch SPD supporter.
	5:43am LiXiviated Life: Trekking in the rain is not my preference, but there’s a certain beauty to be witnessed in these old mountains. Carrying a pack was a bit harder this year and I’m paying the price this morning.
	5:45am Brian D: Apologies for the misspelling, Michael. Grass' whole thing was "slow reform," or something like that, right?
	5:45am TDK60: Good news, when it's bad news for fashies.
	5:46am Brian D: The movie is truly unsettling at several points. I should watch it again...
	5:46am morphe’: TDK .. I awoke for leftover nyc pizza .. I have a TDKfor you … around the garden We’d 11am ….7 Dic[bad day in history]All day ?????
	5:50am morphe’: BD .. ya made a vague reference.. was Ms BD on a just passed track????
	5:51am Brian D: No personal connection, Morphe...
	5:52am morphe’: TDK If so, bring a cassette player and we listen together or CP across 110 Street
	5:53am TDK60: Hi Morphe. You're in the garden, Wed? Will try to "pencil it in"... remind me via other channels?
	5:53am morphe’: THANKS BD and all !!!!!
	⚡ 5:54am Michael of Cologne: I think that was my own misspelling, Brian. I don't know much about Grass. He intervened in politics to support Willi Brandt in 1961, the erection of the Berlin Mauer. Only joined the SPD in 1982, leaving it ten years later because of the party's policy on asylum-seekers. The Germans still have big problems today accepting Ausländer (foreigners). The right remains particularly rigid on the issue.
	⚡ 5:54am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian
	⚡ 5:56am Michael of Cologne: Thanks, Brian for good music and all for a chat.
	5:57am Brian D: Thank YOU all! It's been a pleasure, as always. Stay safe and have a great week.
	5:58am TDK60: On the Sheena's Jungle Room stream of WFMU, the Flange and Frigate show with DJ Georgy Girl, did a McVie tribute this past Friday, Dec. 2. Archives-saved.
	⚡ 5:59am tom tom the pipers son: therese did a full show tribute too
	5:59am TDK60: Thanks, Brian D.
	⚡ 6:00am Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Brian D!!!
	6:01am Pablexa (TM): Beautiful

	5:23am Brian D: titicacaman.com...
	5:24am Brian D: Tin Drum?
	5:31am morphe’: Speaking of the Niebelungen[sp?] Any time is a googd time to do a whole show week deadacted to Hildegard von Bingen … I found her via Tony Coulter??? Or KCR for sure…
	5:31am LiXiviated Life: Morphe The Appalachian Trail has a section that runs from Bear Mountain to Mount of Atonement which is the Graymoor Monastery. For the past 25 years a group of friends and I make the trek at this time.
	5:34am morphe’: Lix … I do the trail in bits .. from MA border to the edge of PA.. so been there.. Greymoor sounds familiar.. I will post the Black Friday tale when on a regular machine
	⚡ 5:36am Michael of Cologne: Yep, Brian, Tin Drum that first made him famous. Of course it was also made into a film.
	5:39am Brian D: Yes, yes. I've seen the film, not read the book.
	5:39am Brian D: I've actually never read any Gunther Grass.
	5:40am TDK60: Morning.
	5:41am Brian D: Hello TDK.
	5:41am Fredericks: Furioso features quite a drummer.
	5:41am morphe’: The angry boy moment(s) in the film are truly frightening …
	⚡ 5:42am Michael of Cologne: Günter Grass (sp. corrected) was a staunch SPD supporter.
	5:43am LiXiviated Life: Trekking in the rain is not my preference, but there’s a certain beauty to be witnessed in these old mountains. Carrying a pack was a bit harder this year and I’m paying the price this morning.
	5:45am Brian D: Apologies for the misspelling, Michael. Grass' whole thing was "slow reform," or something like that, right?
	5:45am TDK60: Good news, when it's bad news for fashies.
	5:46am Brian D: The movie is truly unsettling at several points. I should watch it again...

	5:51am Brian D: No personal connection, Morphe...
	5:52am morphe’: TDK If so, bring a cassette player and we listen together or CP across 110 Street
	5:53am TDK60: Hi Morphe. You're in the garden, Wed? Will try to "pencil it in"... remind me via other channels?
	5:53am morphe’: THANKS BD and all !!!!!
	⚡ 5:54am Michael of Cologne: I think that was my own misspelling, Brian. I don't know much about Grass. He intervened in politics to support Willi Brandt in 1961, the erection of the Berlin Mauer. Only joined the SPD in 1982, leaving it ten years later because of the party's policy on asylum-seekers. The Germans still have big problems today accepting Ausländer (foreigners). The right remains particularly rigid on the issue.
	⚡ 5:54am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian
	⚡ 5:56am Michael of Cologne: Thanks, Brian for good music and all for a chat.
