	3:07am Brian D: Hello everyone!
	⚡ 3:07am tom tom the pipers son: hi brian, your image kind of reminds when i visited the nazi rally grounds in nuremberg where a line of trucks were parked in front of the tribunal where hitler gave his speeches and the first truck had the word "dreamland" painted on it.
	3:10am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:07 Pier 40 on the Hudson River does have a similarly disturbing history, Tom Tom.
	3:11am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @3:05 HUNGOVER. I got accidentally drunk and got to bed at 5
	⚡ 3:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:10 what happened there?
	3:12am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:12 I was joking. Sorry, that doesn't come through on chat sometimes.
	3:13am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @3:11 Eggs always good.
	⚡ 3:15am tom tom the pipers son: oh, ha! it was just the big open space with words that poked the memory bank for me.
	3:16am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:15 I can see that. It's not a great photo, on my part, now that I'm looking at it.
	3:18am maestroso: ↳ Song: "Fools Gold" by "The Stone Roses" Killer groove.
	⚡ 3:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:16 looks like you didn't have great light that day
	3:20am Paulo AD: This run of songs is unreal
	3:20am Paulo AD: Brian, I couldn't find you to adopt a dj
	3:25am Brian D: ↳ maestroso @3:18 Ain't it, though? Glad you enjoyed.
	3:25am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:18 Can't remember when I took it. Last summer, probably.
	3:26am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @3:20 Didn't put myself up. Next year, maybe.
	3:26am Aitch: Currants eh? Raisin hell
	3:27am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @3:26 You rascal :)
	3:28am Paulo AD: Gym or vodka and coke?
	3:29am Aitch: If you have lots of coke, you'll probably need the vodka
	3:35am Paulo AD: ↳ Aitch @3:29 I'm hitting the icelandic brennivin.... Its real grim
	⚡ 3:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Cover It Up" by "Kate Fagan" cover it up was a good choice. in the video of the murder it shows someone covering up the body with a sheet. but for whose benefit, the deceased or the perpertrators who diidn't want to be reminded of their crime
	3:44am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:44 Thanks Tom Tom. That video was awful to see.
	3:46am Paulo AD: Wow
	3:52am LiXiviated Life: hello dark night dwellers hello electronic listeners hello small glowing characters
	3:53am Brian D: Greetings Lix.
	3:54am Fox: I've been collating and combining various drives and folders of messy frantic digital life, and it's clearing out my brain.
	3:55am LiXiviated Life: Defrag detox
	3:55am Brian D: ↳ Fox @3:54 Hi Fox. Can you clear out my brain when you're done?
	3:56am Destroit: Mornin errbody. Glad to be here.
	⚡ 3:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @3:54 fox, nice going on the hoof and mouth
	3:56am Fox: I could try!
	3:57am Brian D: ↳ Destroit @3:56 Hey Destroit. Glad to have you.
	3:57am ERIK / VermonT: Music musings : I wish Massive Attack would continue making full length albums. I really loved em - Especially the last 3. Gof4 : when “Solid Gold” came out, we all assumed it wouldn’t hold a candle to their brilliant debut “entertainment” (or even the great follow up yellow ep) - yet, it kicked our ass even harder. I actually preferred the clean clear hard edged crystal chunk production. Love how singing “paralyzed” sounds like “paradise”. And then they went & blew our minds even more with the “To Hell w/Poverty” 12” Ep ! - those were the days my friends, I thought they’d never end … (ps: I’m old !) hahaha 😝 😛 🤪
	3:57am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:56 Fox KILLED it at Hoof...
	3:58am Fox: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:56 Thanks. I was so nervous I didn't manage to actually sing! But I faced my paralyzing fear of singing in front of people! YAY!
	3:59am Fox: ↳ Brian D @3:57 Thank you! I didn't cry or freeze on stage! Yay!!!
	4:02am Destroit: Big Brave is intense.
	⚡ 4:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @3:58 ken said something funny afterwards to the effect that it was a non ironic performance and he wasn't used to that.
	4:02am sonny jim: ↳ Song: "The Fable of Subjugation" by "Big \| Brave" \m/
	4:04am Fox: I am terrified of singing, but performing on stage is a breeze!
	4:06am devlawn: all the singers were good
	4:06am Fox: I think I gained 7 pounds from all the food at the station during marathon!
	4:07am Crei6hton: Morning WFMU
	4:08am Katharsis: Hellos Brian and all. So I’’m awake
	4:10am devlawn: ↳ Fox @4:06 Yeah, I kept hearing about the food. I didn't try to taste my radio.
	4:10am Fox: YAAAYYYY!!!!! What a fun time we had!
	4:13am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:10 We did! Lots of laughs and great conversation.
	4:14am Brian D: Hello Crei6ton, Katharsis and Dev...
	4:15am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @3:57 Hello Erik. Agree on Solid Gold. Great record.
	4:15am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @3:55 I could join in this haha
	4:17am Paulo AD: ↳ Fox @3:59 Fox, you done a wonderful job :) as a singer I know how hard it is and you nailed it even if you don't think so, you exuded cool
	4:17am Fox: ↳ Paulo AD @4:17 YAY! Thanks!!! I tried to do it again on my show this week, just so I could do it the way I'd practiced. Now I'm trying to figure out what to sing next year!!!
	4:18am LiXiviated Life: Iraq invasion tore the curtain
	4:18am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @4:17 Agree. I just hope she doesn't forget us little overnight people when she hits the big time...
	4:21am Paulo AD: This is it Brian. I'm going to start calling her big time now haha
	4:21am Paulo AD: There is a video of me in my band, hand on.. This was nearly 20 years ago mind. Jesus when I think about it!!
	4:22am Paulo AD: youtu.be...
	⚡ 4:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Fourth Pass Over The Graveyard" by "The Black Del... a lot going on in this track, poss. be better w/o vocals
	4:27am ERIK / VermonT: XTC’s Complicated Game is a monster song ! - bold choice Fox. I’d like to hear your version of Scissor Man (snipping snipping snipping…)
	4:29am Fox: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:27 XTC is my confidence music. My dad made me a tape of Go 2 and his walkman when I had to run the mile for gym class in jr high.
	⚡ 4:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @4:29 how did you clip the walkman on to your gym shorts with out having them fall down? ;)
	4:34am devlawn: someone stole my walkman from my locker, I still wonder what was on that mixtape.
	4:34am Fox: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:32 LIterally, it was like the size of a VHS tape and held together with duct tape. I think I had BIG pockets!
	⚡ 4:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @4:34 ha!
	4:35am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:32 In my day, we had those really short shorts... kinda tight. No fear of falling down, but not a great look...
	4:36am Paulo AD: Bermuda shorts when I was a wee lad
	⚡ 4:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:35 i remember the shorts having lousy waistbands
	4:38am Fox: ↳ Brian D @4:35 I had those in grade school.flickr.com... But by Junior High, it was all about the JAMS.
	⚡ 4:39am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian and lots of familiar avatars (familiar faces doesn't seem accurate,,,,)! Our clocks are back to 7 hours apart, but I stayed up like we weren't changing the clocks, so it's a late start here. No hangover though, haven't had a drink on a few weeks. Paolo, hope you recover well, whether it's gym or V&C
	4:40am Paulo AD: Cheers don. My dj gig has been put on hold for a few weeks so I'm lounging in bed with the Mrs and wfmu, keeping it locked :) There was a desicion made haha
	⚡ 4:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @4:38 cute pic... you and your buddy
	4:41am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:38 Is that a young Fox there?
	4:41am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @4:41 A cub if you will
	4:41am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @4:39 Hello Don. Finland again named happiest place in the world recently...
	4:42am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @4:41 Well played.
	4:44am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @4:42 Haha I try. What's ET short for?
	4:45am Fox: ↳ Brian D @4:41 Yup! That's me! Like I walked right out of Stranger Things.
	4:46am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:45 The only photo I have of me from my youth, I'm wearing a leisure suit. Seriously.
	4:47am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @4:44 Eastern time. Extra-terrestrial?
	4:47am Paulo AD: ↳ Fox @4:45 I'm not sure there are any pictures of me pre Facebook which is sad.
	⚡ 4:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:46 frye boots?
	4:48am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:47 Nah, Tom Tom. But the suit was mint green.
	⚡ 4:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:48 thought they only came in beige/tan
	4:50am ERIK / VermonT: @Fox : was 14 or 15 when I got “drums & wires” 1979. Suffice to say, the album thrilled me. I thought I’d found my band ! The herky jerky dynamics perfectly suited my budding drumming obsessions. Further cemented by my co-fave XTC “Black Sea” album. I collected em all after that. They seemed to fade a bit after the playful stint with Dukes of Stratosphere. I was also way into my import copy of the bizarre fractured dub-redux mixings of Andy’s solo “The Lure of Salvage” ! Have you listened to that much ? - very innovative ! What’s your favorite XTC albums ?
	4:51am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:49 I was blazing my own trail.
	⚡ 4:52am tom tom the pipers son: ah!
	4:52am yippie: so it's ok to harm the youth's mental health if the parents consent
	4:53am Brian D: Photojournalist Moises Saman's book, if interested: www.magnumphotos.com...
	4:54am Fox: ↳ Brian D @4:46 Wow, really?! I was my narcissistis art-student teen-mom's photography model. I've got a whole photo album of nothing but me. It fucked me up, and it's why I'm so worried about young people and social media. Utah might be on the right track with that.
	4:54am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @4:53 Very interesting, thanks Bri
	⚡ 4:54am Don in Tampere: Apparently the happiness isn't a survey asking people about their happiness, but is based on what is assumed by the rankers to be the preconditions for a happy life, such as education, social services, infrastructure and equality. Finnland does pretty well on those accounts, but whether people are actually happier here than elsewhere is a good question.
	4:55am Paulo AD: ↳ Fox @4:54 We were discussing this last night. If soc meeds we're about when I was a young one I'd be real fucked. I was an a hole
	4:55am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:54 My childhood was, uh, atypical.
	4:56am Fox: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:50 I think Black Sea is probably my favorite due to Language in Our Lungs and Travels in Nihilon. Burning with Optimism's Flame used to be my unoffical theme song, but then life happene at me!
	4:56am Paulo AD: ↳ Don in Tampere @4:54 Abu Dhabi is apparently the safest city to live in the world. I can believe it. Left my phone and wallet in a bar one day, came back thr next day and it's still there. I guess we do get tracked by our Emirates Id but I really don't mind it
	4:57am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @4:55 I had a pretty good childhood, we were super poor but I guess that makes me who I am. I'm very generous now and always want to look after people Keri calls me Diana Troy
	⚡ 4:58am Don in Tampere: I have some old photos of myself, including a couple of high school and college photos, but none of it is in digital format so don't exist according to the reality of Facebook, IG etc. Maybe I'll scan a few one of these days. A friend did scan some photos of our annual re-creation of the assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March in the college library, so once a year I post a photo of me in a sheet about to be stabbed with a butter knife.
	4:58am Fox: ↳ Brian D @4:55 Mine too, different direction.
	4:58am Fox: ↳ Song: "Rooftop Intruder" by "Michael Small" This sounds like Columbo!
	4:59am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:58 Klute, great film noir from the early 70s. Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland. Watched it on TCM this week.
	⚡ 4:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @4:58 or rosemary's baby
	⚡ 4:59am Don in Tampere: ↳ Paulo AD @4:56 It's not guaranteed here, and first reports of street gangs (probably going up to people and saying rude things....) in Helsinki are emerging, but if you leave your wallet in a pub here, the odds are also quite good that it will be there the next day, with all the money in it.
	5:02am ERIK / VermonT: Omg … the Klute soundtrack ! I’ve never heard this without the movie accompanying it. Fantastic ! - curious , What’s your source for it ?
	5:03am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @5:02 MP3, Erik, but it's on some streaming services. The soundtrack is amazing.
	5:04am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @4:57 Good attitude. We were middle class. But mental illness in my family, unfortunately.
	5:08am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:04 Yay for the awesome genes!
	⚡ 5:08am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian donald petrie directed klute or sydney pollack
	5:09am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:08 Yeah, somehow the really bad stuff missed me. But I have some shrapnel.
	5:09am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:08 Alan Pakula.
	5:10am Fox: ↳ Paulo AD @4:55 I probably would have been internet famous and then killed myself or something. My hair and outfit matching was off the fucking charts.
	⚡ 5:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @5:09 oh, but i was close
	5:10am Mr. Pumpy: 80's Vitus...nice.
	5:11am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:10 I'd have been cancelled if social media existed when I younger.
	5:11am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:09 I'm lucky I didn't get the Tourette's. It makes the OCD, ADHD and Trichotillomania not so bad comparatively.
	5:11am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:10 I had to look it up after we watched it.
	5:11am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:11 Actually, I probably would have been as well. I'm really good at saying shit people don't like.
	5:12am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:11 I have a friend with Tourrette's. Not the verbal. He twitches, though.
	⚡ 5:12am Michael of Cologne: Talk about late to the party! Lost an hour somewhere Greetings to you, Brian, Fox, Don & all in shorts.
	5:13am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:12 Hello Michael!
	5:19am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:12 The exbf I lived with had really significant Tourette's. Lots of tics. Verbal, LOUD, but no words. MDMA and LSD are amazing at killing tics.
	5:21am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:19 We tried to get my friend to take LSD, or even smoke weed. No dice. He said smoking cigs helped. But I didn't see that.
	5:23am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:21 My ex was told BY A DOCTOR to try smoking cigarettes. That's why he started. And it does help suppress the tics. But it doesn't work when he'd smoke American Spirits. It's not the tobacco. It's whatever creepy shit they put in American cigarettes!
	⚡ 5:23am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Fox @5:10 The Ersatzwelt aka cyberworld is progressively eating up what was quaintly called the real world. I don't do socmed. How old does that make me?
	5:24am Fox: I think social media as it is needs to die. A return to individual message boards and Trillian.
	5:25am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:23 Huh. It really didn't help him, though. At least not that I could see. And I think he quit a few years ago when he had a kid. I haven't seen him in a while.
	⚡ 5:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @5:24 looks like that may be happening with all the layoffs at twitter and facebook
	5:27am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:26 Sadly, they don't actual humans working for them, with AI. I see benefits to social media, but I also see -- and feel -- the costs.
	5:27am Brian D: NEED actual
	⚡ 5:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @5:27 right
	5:31am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:04 I hear that brother
	5:32am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:11 That's what I was saying above, some shocking behaviour
	5:32am Fox: I would love to quit social media, but I spend too much of my life stuck at home alone to do so, really.
	5:32am Paulo AD: Sorry just catching up. Tim Howard has toutettes
	5:33am Paulo AD: ↳ Fox @5:32 Yeah the thing is for me fox it's a way of staying in touch with people back home
	5:33am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @5:32 Yeah, I used to think I was being "provocative." Really, just a shithead. Copious amounts of booze and drugs can do that...
	5:34am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @5:32 Yes he does. Tics only as well, I believe.
	5:34am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:33 Oh 100%, you and I are in the same boat Mon amie
	⚡ 5:34am tom tom the pipers son: brian d... ex shithead
	5:35am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:34 That's correct. Great keeper, sadly not good enough for united
	5:38am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:34 Well, still a shithead. Just don't have the booze and drugs as an excuse anymore.
	⚡ 5:39am tom tom the pipers son: trying to be funny, hope i was
	5:39am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @5:35 Had a nice career for Everton, though.
	5:39am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:39 I laughed.
	⚡ 5:40am Don in Tampere: ↳ Paulo AD @5:33 Yep, with friends scattered around the globe, I do find it a good way to keep in touch with people.
	⚡ 5:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @5:39 good this necks track reminds me of beach boys smile sessions when they're trying to get the bag of shells sound right on surfs up
	5:44am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @5:40 It does help with that. I also like it as a way for artists to show their work.
	5:46am Fox: I miss the era of livejournal. I really thought the internet was going to be a place of words and long form thought.
	⚡ 5:46am tom tom the pipers son: esp. enjoyed your selections this morning. liked that hectorine track too.
	5:46am ERIK / VermonT: @ Brian : if I was a guessing man, I’d guess you would be partial to some This Heat. I’m in need of some “Deceit” ! - “shrink wrap” perhaps. Maybe next time ?
	5:47am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:46 If only, Fox.
	5:48am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:46 Thanks, Tom Tom.
	⚡ 5:48am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Fox @5:46 I had that delusion too, Fox.
	5:49am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @5:46 Ooh, good call. Next time maybe.
	⚡ 5:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @5:46 we ate soda the embassy cat poor soda's coda
	5:55am Mr. Pumpy: That Necks track was pushing all the correct buttons.
	5:56am ERIK / VermonT: “Music Like Escaping Gas” … “A New Kind Of Water”.
	5:56am Brian D: ↳ Mr. Pumpy @5:55 Glad you enjoyed, Mr. Pumpy.
	5:57am Brian D: "This morning is amazing, and so are you," dear listeners. Thank you for joining me. And thank you again for pledging to support WFMU during the Marathon. Stay safe and have a great week.
	5:58am Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, Brian!
	5:58am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:57 have good sleep!
	⚡ 5:58am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian and thanks for the cd last week
	5:59am Ryansterlingvirtue: great show today
	6:56am Ella Woger: Brian, Thanks for playing Klute. Sometimes I play the movie and just liston to the music.

	3:03am Paulo AD: Brian, I am dying a death
	3:05am Paulo AD: This is how bad it is, I'm eating a maccas breakfast in bed :/ send help haha
	3:05am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @3:03 What's up, Paulo?
	3:06am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @3:05 I like me an Egg McMuffin now and again.
	3:07am Brian D: Hello everyone!
	⚡ 3:07am tom tom the pipers son: hi brian, your image kind of reminds when i visited the nazi rally grounds in nuremberg where a line of trucks were parked in front of the tribunal where hitler gave his speeches and the first truck had the word "dreamland" painted on it.
	3:10am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:07 Pier 40 on the Hudson River does have a similarly disturbing history, Tom Tom.
	3:11am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @3:05 HUNGOVER. I got accidentally drunk and got to bed at 5
	⚡ 3:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:10 what happened there?
	3:12am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:12 I was joking. Sorry, that doesn't come through on chat sometimes.
	3:13am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @3:11 Eggs always good.
	⚡ 3:15am tom tom the pipers son: oh, ha! it was just the big open space with words that poked the memory bank for me.
	3:16am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:15 I can see that. It's not a great photo, on my part, now that I'm looking at it.
	3:18am maestroso: ↳ Song: "Fools Gold" by "The Stone Roses" Killer groove.
	⚡ 3:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:16 looks like you didn't have great light that day
	3:20am Paulo AD: This run of songs is unreal
	3:20am Paulo AD: Brian, I couldn't find you to adopt a dj
	3:25am Brian D: ↳ maestroso @3:18 Ain't it, though? Glad you enjoyed.
	3:25am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:18 Can't remember when I took it. Last summer, probably.
	3:26am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @3:20 Didn't put myself up. Next year, maybe.
	3:26am Aitch: Currants eh? Raisin hell
	3:27am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @3:26 You rascal :)
	3:28am Paulo AD: Gym or vodka and coke?
	3:29am Aitch: If you have lots of coke, you'll probably need the vodka
	3:35am Paulo AD: ↳ Aitch @3:29 I'm hitting the icelandic brennivin.... Its real grim
	⚡ 3:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Cover It Up" by "Kate Fagan" cover it up was a good choice. in the video of the murder it shows someone covering up the body with a sheet. but for whose benefit, the deceased or the perpertrators who diidn't want to be reminded of their crime
	3:44am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:44 Thanks Tom Tom. That video was awful to see.
	3:46am Paulo AD: Wow
	3:52am LiXiviated Life: hello dark night dwellers hello electronic listeners hello small glowing characters
	3:53am Brian D: Greetings Lix.
	3:54am Fox: I've been collating and combining various drives and folders of messy frantic digital life, and it's clearing out my brain.
	3:55am LiXiviated Life: Defrag detox
	3:55am Brian D: ↳ Fox @3:54 Hi Fox. Can you clear out my brain when you're done?
	3:56am Destroit: Mornin errbody. Glad to be here.
	⚡ 3:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @3:54 fox, nice going on the hoof and mouth
	3:56am Fox: I could try!
	3:57am Brian D: ↳ Destroit @3:56 Hey Destroit. Glad to have you.
	3:57am ERIK / VermonT: Music musings : I wish Massive Attack would continue making full length albums. I really loved em - Especially the last 3. Gof4 : when “Solid Gold” came out, we all assumed it wouldn’t hold a candle to their brilliant debut “entertainment” (or even the great follow up yellow ep) - yet, it kicked our ass even harder. I actually preferred the clean clear hard edged crystal chunk production. Love how singing “paralyzed” sounds like “paradise”. And then they went & blew our minds even more with the “To Hell w/Poverty” 12” Ep ! - those were the days my friends, I thought they’d never end … (ps: I’m old !) hahaha 😝 😛 🤪
	3:57am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:56 Fox KILLED it at Hoof...
	3:58am Fox: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:56 Thanks. I was so nervous I didn't manage to actually sing! But I faced my paralyzing fear of singing in front of people! YAY!
	3:59am Fox: ↳ Brian D @3:57 Thank you! I didn't cry or freeze on stage! Yay!!!
	4:02am Destroit: Big Brave is intense.
	⚡ 4:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @3:58 ken said something funny afterwards to the effect that it was a non ironic performance and he wasn't used to that.
	4:02am sonny jim: ↳ Song: "The Fable of Subjugation" by "Big \| Brave" \m/
	4:04am Fox: I am terrified of singing, but performing on stage is a breeze!
	4:06am devlawn: all the singers were good
	4:06am Fox: I think I gained 7 pounds from all the food at the station during marathon!
	4:07am Crei6hton: Morning WFMU
	4:08am Katharsis: Hellos Brian and all. So I’’m awake
	4:10am devlawn: ↳ Fox @4:06 Yeah, I kept hearing about the food. I didn't try to taste my radio.
	4:10am Fox: YAAAYYYY!!!!! What a fun time we had!
	4:13am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:10 We did! Lots of laughs and great conversation.
	4:14am Brian D: Hello Crei6ton, Katharsis and Dev...
	4:15am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @3:57 Hello Erik. Agree on Solid Gold. Great record.
	4:15am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @3:55 I could join in this haha
	4:17am Paulo AD: ↳ Fox @3:59 Fox, you done a wonderful job :) as a singer I know how hard it is and you nailed it even if you don't think so, you exuded cool
	4:17am Fox: ↳ Paulo AD @4:17 YAY! Thanks!!! I tried to do it again on my show this week, just so I could do it the way I'd practiced. Now I'm trying to figure out what to sing next year!!!
	4:18am LiXiviated Life: Iraq invasion tore the curtain
	4:18am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @4:17 Agree. I just hope she doesn't forget us little overnight people when she hits the big time...
	4:21am Paulo AD: This is it Brian. I'm going to start calling her big time now haha
	4:21am Paulo AD: There is a video of me in my band, hand on.. This was nearly 20 years ago mind. Jesus when I think about it!!
	4:22am Paulo AD: youtu.be...
	⚡ 4:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Fourth Pass Over The Graveyard" by "The Black Del... a lot going on in this track, poss. be better w/o vocals
	4:27am ERIK / VermonT: XTC’s Complicated Game is a monster song ! - bold choice Fox. I’d like to hear your version of Scissor Man (snipping snipping snipping…)
	4:29am Fox: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:27 XTC is my confidence music. My dad made me a tape of Go 2 and his walkman when I had to run the mile for gym class in jr high.
	⚡ 4:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @4:29 how did you clip the walkman on to your gym shorts with out having them fall down? ;)
	4:34am devlawn: someone stole my walkman from my locker, I still wonder what was on that mixtape.
	4:34am Fox: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:32 LIterally, it was like the size of a VHS tape and held together with duct tape. I think I had BIG pockets!
	⚡ 4:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @4:34 ha!
	4:35am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:32 In my day, we had those really short shorts... kinda tight. No fear of falling down, but not a great look...
	4:36am Paulo AD: Bermuda shorts when I was a wee lad
	⚡ 4:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:35 i remember the shorts having lousy waistbands
	4:38am Fox: ↳ Brian D @4:35 I had those in grade school.flickr.com... But by Junior High, it was all about the JAMS.
	⚡ 4:39am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian and lots of familiar avatars (familiar faces doesn't seem accurate,,,,)! Our clocks are back to 7 hours apart, but I stayed up like we weren't changing the clocks, so it's a late start here. No hangover though, haven't had a drink on a few weeks. Paolo, hope you recover well, whether it's gym or V&C
	4:40am Paulo AD: Cheers don. My dj gig has been put on hold for a few weeks so I'm lounging in bed with the Mrs and wfmu, keeping it locked :) There was a desicion made haha
	⚡ 4:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @4:38 cute pic... you and your buddy
	4:41am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:38 Is that a young Fox there?
	4:41am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @4:41 A cub if you will
	4:41am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @4:39 Hello Don. Finland again named happiest place in the world recently...
	4:42am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @4:41 Well played.
	4:44am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @4:42 Haha I try. What's ET short for?
	4:45am Fox: ↳ Brian D @4:41 Yup! That's me! Like I walked right out of Stranger Things.
	4:46am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:45 The only photo I have of me from my youth, I'm wearing a leisure suit. Seriously.
	4:47am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @4:44 Eastern time. Extra-terrestrial?
	4:47am Paulo AD: ↳ Fox @4:45 I'm not sure there are any pictures of me pre Facebook which is sad.
	⚡ 4:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:46 frye boots?
	4:48am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:47 Nah, Tom Tom. But the suit was mint green.
	⚡ 4:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:48 thought they only came in beige/tan
	4:50am ERIK / VermonT: @Fox : was 14 or 15 when I got “drums & wires” 1979. Suffice to say, the album thrilled me. I thought I’d found my band ! The herky jerky dynamics perfectly suited my budding drumming obsessions. Further cemented by my co-fave XTC “Black Sea” album. I collected em all after that. They seemed to fade a bit after the playful stint with Dukes of Stratosphere. I was also way into my import copy of the bizarre fractured dub-redux mixings of Andy’s solo “The Lure of Salvage” ! Have you listened to that much ? - very innovative ! What’s your favorite XTC albums ?
	4:51am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:49 I was blazing my own trail.
	⚡ 4:52am tom tom the pipers son: ah!
	4:52am yippie: so it's ok to harm the youth's mental health if the parents consent
	4:53am Brian D: Photojournalist Moises Saman's book, if interested: www.magnumphotos.com...
	4:54am Fox: ↳ Brian D @4:46 Wow, really?! I was my narcissistis art-student teen-mom's photography model. I've got a whole photo album of nothing but me. It fucked me up, and it's why I'm so worried about young people and social media. Utah might be on the right track with that.
	4:54am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @4:53 Very interesting, thanks Bri
	⚡ 4:54am Don in Tampere: Apparently the happiness isn't a survey asking people about their happiness, but is based on what is assumed by the rankers to be the preconditions for a happy life, such as education, social services, infrastructure and equality. Finnland does pretty well on those accounts, but whether people are actually happier here than elsewhere is a good question.
	4:55am Paulo AD: ↳ Fox @4:54 We were discussing this last night. If soc meeds we're about when I was a young one I'd be real fucked. I was an a hole
	4:55am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:54 My childhood was, uh, atypical.
	4:56am Fox: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:50 I think Black Sea is probably my favorite due to Language in Our Lungs and Travels in Nihilon. Burning with Optimism's Flame used to be my unoffical theme song, but then life happene at me!
	4:56am Paulo AD: ↳ Don in Tampere @4:54 Abu Dhabi is apparently the safest city to live in the world. I can believe it. Left my phone and wallet in a bar one day, came back thr next day and it's still there. I guess we do get tracked by our Emirates Id but I really don't mind it
	4:57am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @4:55 I had a pretty good childhood, we were super poor but I guess that makes me who I am. I'm very generous now and always want to look after people Keri calls me Diana Troy
	⚡ 4:58am Don in Tampere: I have some old photos of myself, including a couple of high school and college photos, but none of it is in digital format so don't exist according to the reality of Facebook, IG etc. Maybe I'll scan a few one of these days. A friend did scan some photos of our annual re-creation of the assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March in the college library, so once a year I post a photo of me in a sheet about to be stabbed with a butter knife.
	4:58am Fox: ↳ Brian D @4:55 Mine too, different direction.
	4:58am Fox: ↳ Song: "Rooftop Intruder" by "Michael Small" This sounds like Columbo!
	4:59am Brian D: ↳ Fox @4:58 Klute, great film noir from the early 70s. Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland. Watched it on TCM this week.
	⚡ 4:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @4:58 or rosemary's baby
	⚡ 4:59am Don in Tampere: ↳ Paulo AD @4:56 It's not guaranteed here, and first reports of street gangs (probably going up to people and saying rude things....) in Helsinki are emerging, but if you leave your wallet in a pub here, the odds are also quite good that it will be there the next day, with all the money in it.
	5:02am ERIK / VermonT: Omg … the Klute soundtrack ! I’ve never heard this without the movie accompanying it. Fantastic ! - curious , What’s your source for it ?
	5:03am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @5:02 MP3, Erik, but it's on some streaming services. The soundtrack is amazing.
	5:04am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @4:57 Good attitude. We were middle class. But mental illness in my family, unfortunately.
	5:08am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:04 Yay for the awesome genes!
	⚡ 5:08am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian donald petrie directed klute or sydney pollack
	5:09am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:08 Yeah, somehow the really bad stuff missed me. But I have some shrapnel.
	5:09am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:08 Alan Pakula.
	5:10am Fox: ↳ Paulo AD @4:55 I probably would have been internet famous and then killed myself or something. My hair and outfit matching was off the fucking charts.
	⚡ 5:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @5:09 oh, but i was close
	5:10am Mr. Pumpy: 80's Vitus...nice.
	5:11am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:10 I'd have been cancelled if social media existed when I younger.
	5:11am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:09 I'm lucky I didn't get the Tourette's. It makes the OCD, ADHD and Trichotillomania not so bad comparatively.
	5:11am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:10 I had to look it up after we watched it.
	5:11am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:11 Actually, I probably would have been as well. I'm really good at saying shit people don't like.
	5:12am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:11 I have a friend with Tourrette's. Not the verbal. He twitches, though.
	⚡ 5:12am Michael of Cologne: Talk about late to the party! Lost an hour somewhere Greetings to you, Brian, Fox, Don & all in shorts.
	5:13am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:12 Hello Michael!
	5:19am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:12 The exbf I lived with had really significant Tourette's. Lots of tics. Verbal, LOUD, but no words. MDMA and LSD are amazing at killing tics.
	5:21am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:19 We tried to get my friend to take LSD, or even smoke weed. No dice. He said smoking cigs helped. But I didn't see that.
	5:23am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:21 My ex was told BY A DOCTOR to try smoking cigarettes. That's why he started. And it does help suppress the tics. But it doesn't work when he'd smoke American Spirits. It's not the tobacco. It's whatever creepy shit they put in American cigarettes!
	⚡ 5:23am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Fox @5:10 The Ersatzwelt aka cyberworld is progressively eating up what was quaintly called the real world. I don't do socmed. How old does that make me?
	5:24am Fox: I think social media as it is needs to die. A return to individual message boards and Trillian.
	5:25am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:23 Huh. It really didn't help him, though. At least not that I could see. And I think he quit a few years ago when he had a kid. I haven't seen him in a while.
	⚡ 5:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fox @5:24 looks like that may be happening with all the layoffs at twitter and facebook
	5:27am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:26 Sadly, they don't actual humans working for them, with AI. I see benefits to social media, but I also see -- and feel -- the costs.
	5:27am Brian D: NEED actual
	⚡ 5:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @5:27 right
	5:31am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:04 I hear that brother
	5:32am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:11 That's what I was saying above, some shocking behaviour
	5:32am Fox: I would love to quit social media, but I spend too much of my life stuck at home alone to do so, really.
	5:32am Paulo AD: Sorry just catching up. Tim Howard has toutettes
	5:33am Paulo AD: ↳ Fox @5:32 Yeah the thing is for me fox it's a way of staying in touch with people back home
	5:33am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @5:32 Yeah, I used to think I was being "provocative." Really, just a shithead. Copious amounts of booze and drugs can do that...
	5:34am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @5:32 Yes he does. Tics only as well, I believe.
	5:34am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:33 Oh 100%, you and I are in the same boat Mon amie
	⚡ 5:34am tom tom the pipers son: brian d... ex shithead
	5:35am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:34 That's correct. Great keeper, sadly not good enough for united
	5:38am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:34 Well, still a shithead. Just don't have the booze and drugs as an excuse anymore.
	⚡ 5:39am tom tom the pipers son: trying to be funny, hope i was
	5:39am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @5:35 Had a nice career for Everton, though.
	5:39am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:39 I laughed.
	⚡ 5:40am Don in Tampere: ↳ Paulo AD @5:33 Yep, with friends scattered around the globe, I do find it a good way to keep in touch with people.
	⚡ 5:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @5:39 good this necks track reminds me of beach boys smile sessions when they're trying to get the bag of shells sound right on surfs up
	5:44am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @5:40 It does help with that. I also like it as a way for artists to show their work.
	5:46am Fox: I miss the era of livejournal. I really thought the internet was going to be a place of words and long form thought.
	⚡ 5:46am tom tom the pipers son: esp. enjoyed your selections this morning. liked that hectorine track too.
	5:46am ERIK / VermonT: @ Brian : if I was a guessing man, I’d guess you would be partial to some This Heat. I’m in need of some “Deceit” ! - “shrink wrap” perhaps. Maybe next time ?
	5:47am Brian D: ↳ Fox @5:46 If only, Fox.
	5:48am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:46 Thanks, Tom Tom.
	⚡ 5:48am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Fox @5:46 I had that delusion too, Fox.
	5:49am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @5:46 Ooh, good call. Next time maybe.
	⚡ 5:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @5:46 we ate soda the embassy cat poor soda's coda
	5:55am Mr. Pumpy: That Necks track was pushing all the correct buttons.
	5:56am ERIK / VermonT: “Music Like Escaping Gas” … “A New Kind Of Water”.
	5:56am Brian D: ↳ Mr. Pumpy @5:55 Glad you enjoyed, Mr. Pumpy.
	5:57am Brian D: "This morning is amazing, and so are you," dear listeners. Thank you for joining me. And thank you again for pledging to support WFMU during the Marathon. Stay safe and have a great week.
	5:58am Mr. Pumpy: Thanks, Brian!
	5:58am Fox: ↳ Brian D @5:57 have good sleep!
	⚡ 5:58am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian and thanks for the cd last week
	5:59am Ryansterlingvirtue: great show today
