Good morning Brian! Got back last night from a great trip to the cabin with my best friend, off in a couple of hours to a conference in Munich but listening until then.

Don in Tampere:

I didn't know the Bangkok song before, but damn Roberto, you're right; those lyrics are pretty offensive, and I'm having a hard time finding sarcastic distance in them.
Apologies if my tuping is a little wonky; it finally became winter here and, though it's beautiful, I end up with the ends of my fingers splitting due to the cold and dryness, and half my fingertips are covered with band-aids

I prefer Studio B as well. It's cozy and dim, and it sounds better, too!

Yeah, I totally fucked up the start of my show this past week as well. I had no idea where to stick my drives!!

I feel like things have changed up here, but whatever. I do prefer it atmospherically.

Hearing talk about putting drives in the right place makes me feel old. I DJd all the way through college and grad school, but at that time the options were turntables and cassette players.

↳ Don in Tampere @4:02
We're not that high-tech either, Don. I hadn't DJed in 30 years when I started here. It wasn't that steep a learning curve. At least technically.

I still remember being distraught at hearing Reagan had won, which says a lot about US influence in other countries.
And tying in to "This Stupid World", the first thing I heard waking up from heart surgery was nurses saying Trump had won

Late to the party on this sunny, cold Cologne morning, with greetings to Brian and all. Distraught at this stupid world? Yes and no.

Stupid moment of the week IMO: Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy gives thousands of hours of video footage etc (in possession of the 'government', IN an ongoing criminal investigation) to Tucker Carlson at FOX News, to (hmmm, let me guess) foment as much national chaos as possible? HOW can that action fly? That's the government? Where are the courts?
