	6:01am Cosmic: Good morning Brian. This is THE song
	6:02am Cosmic: The sentiment is the same, but the person has changed through time :)
	6:03am Cosmic: But this version is timeless, personless, beautiful
	⚡ 6:04am tom tom the pipers son: good morning brian, people...
	⚡ 6:08am tom tom the pipers son: was confused by image at first, thought it was from 60's until registering car
	⚡ 6:11am Michael of Cologne: Good noonday Brian, Tom Tom & all from autumnal Cologne.
	⚡ 6:11am tom tom the pipers son: hello michael...
	⚡ 6:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:08 that is, registering car in my sleepy brain...
	6:15am Brian D: Greetings Cosmic, Tom Tom, Michael.
	⚡ 6:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Autumn's Fiery Tongue" by "Emma Tricca" thought this was led zeppelin at first few notes
	6:15am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:15 Well, they would have stolen it.
	6:21am Brian D: ↳ Brian D @6:15 Too soon?
	⚡ 6:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:15 hard to figure out when she's from, she's played with so many folk greats but she's contemporary
	⚡ 6:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:15 ha! exactly...
	6:24am LiXiviated Life: Is it any surprise that humans are callous to animal extinction? Have you seen how we treat other humans?
	6:25am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:24 Very true, Lix. The newsreader's perkiness in that clip was really something.
	6:37am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	6:39am Brian D: Bonjour Fred. Ca va?
	6:41am fred: I read a news story about a 8 billion year old radio signal being received on earth. Courtney T. Edison isn't such an old codger by that standard
	⚡ 6:41am tom tom the pipers son: democracy now doing excellent coverage of gaza, very good interview with haaretz journalist amira haas
	6:43am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:41 Did they do the legal ID at the top of the hour?
	6:43am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:41 Agreed. One of the few reasonable outlets...
	6:45am LiXiviated Life: I’m at the point where, “What’s the use ?” seems like the only honest response.
	⚡ 6:48am tom tom the pipers son: @fred: thanks for the link to baffler story on 'creature' actor, a memorable detail in it was the one about dolphin in 'flipper' tv show committing suicide by asphyxiation
	6:49am LiXiviated Life: I watched an interview w George Carlin and heard him tell that he had adopted this outlook. I was puzzled by it and offended a bit. But now I feel it may be the truest response.
	6:54am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:48 Grim.
	6:54am TDK60: Good morning DJ Brian.
	6:55am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:54 Hello, TDK. Happy Saturday.
	⚡ 6:56am tom tom the pipers son: wish i could have gone to record fair, but had unforeseen expenses prior to fair, thus no money, plus pulled a calf muscle...
	6:57am Toothgrinder Tom: Louder and prouder!
	6:58am LiXiviated Life: My generation was going to save the planet with peace & love. All BS to sell us CocaCola & herbal shampoo. Maybe the world should burn
	6:59am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:49 And the name of that outlook is cynism.
	6:59am Barbie: Morning Brian
	7:00am Brian D: Barbie!
	7:00am pgalub: Good morning Brian and everyone!
	7:00am Brian D: Mr. Galub!
	7:00am dale: a good gothic morning to you.
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:00 Hello Dale! I can hear some alarms set for 7 am.
	7:02am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian!! Good Morning Listeners!!
	7:02am TDK60: Always like to hear the unusual Crime and City Solution. Sadly, I think the answer to the song is no, not yet.
	7:04am LiXiviated Life: Earth spins History loops All we change are the uniforms.
	7:05am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:02 Belated greetings, Strand.
	7:06am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:02 Alas, yes.
	⚡ 7:07am tom tom the pipers son: this concert was a swan song
	7:08am TDK60: ↳ Brian D @7:06 But there are people working for it. Like, hats off to those who protested in the Congress. Jewish Voice for Peace, and some got arrested. It does take work, peace.
	7:08am LiXiviated Life: Ok that’s enough from me for today. Going for a walk. Maybe the sun will come out.
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @7:08 Enjoy the day, Lix.
	7:09am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:08 Very true, TDK.
	7:12am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ Song: "Inhuman" by "Sonic Youth" This is some kind of awesome.
	⚡ 7:12am tom tom the pipers son: found a guatamalan restaurant that sells fresh food, a rarity in my neighborhood, but they stop serving breakfast early so i have to run now, be back in a few
	7:13am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! nice to be here again today.
	⚡ 7:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:12 the whole concert is, it's on bandcamp
	7:15am TDK60: I'd like to talk with ex-Sonic Youthers Lee Ranaldo, Kim, Thurston, etc. to ask how their hearing is.
	7:16am dale: ↳ TDK60 @7:15 you might have to use sign language.
	7:18am fred: ↳ TDK60 @7:15 I don't know, but I was told by several people who know him that Rhys Chatham's hearing hasn't been great for decades
	7:20am TDK60: Dale: My hearing is not gone but partially ruined. Constant ringing. I wear a hearing aid in one ear, often. I have a niece who specializes in sign language. I may need to ask her help someday. (I played in loud bands.)
	7:20am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:13 Rich!
	⚡ 7:21am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & Co. Just recovering from a Noah-like deluge yesterday.
	7:21am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:21 Brian, good morning. Storm Babet?
	⚡ 7:25am Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Brian and all!!!
	7:27am TDK60: ↳ fred @7:18 Bonjour Fred. I wouldn't be surprised. I am a fan of his "A Crimson Grail - For 400 Guitars" album he did of the live concert inside and outside the Sacré-Cœur church in Montmarte there in Paris. What an event. 2007?
	7:27am Brian D: Good morning Will!
	7:31am alanSixº: G’mornin Brian and all
	7:32am Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Piss Crowns Are Trebled" by "Godspeed You! Black ... Hellz yeah!!!
	7:33am TDK60: GY!BE! I've seen 'em a few times. I'll spare you the adjectives I would normally use.
	⚡ 7:35am Brian in UK: Brian, just read this memoir. An interesting view on the recent decline of Conservative politics in this country. A sad comparison with the USA. Recommended. www.theguardian.com...
	7:35am Brian D: ↳ alanSixº @7:31 Alan!
	7:36am fred: ↳ TDK60 @7:27 I don't know, but that sounds about right. I wasn't there, but I probably know some of the people who played. Chatham was a regular sight at noise shows in art squats and tiny venues in Paris at the time
	7:36am London Calling Francky: Oh God, how much I love Godspeed! Thanks Bryan!
	7:37am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:35 I read that review! (I subscribe to the Guardian Weekly.)
	7:37am London Calling Francky: Brian even!
	7:39am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @7:37 I'll accept both, LCF.
	7:40am TDK60: ↳ fred @7:36 For anyone who hasn't heard "400 Guitars" -- it might sound daunting and very loud, and it may have been in person, but the sound is subtle, almost gentle.
	7:41am fred: ↳ Song: "Piss Crowns Are Trebled" by "Godspeed You! Black ... The first time I saw them, I picked up a flyer for a Charlemagne Palestine at a small venue I didn't know at all. That proved a personal watershed moment. I've been there hundreds of times since. And got introduced to so much music and so many people
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:41 Great story.
	⚡ 7:59am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Herzeleid Orchesterlied II" by "Torsten Rasch" Interesting; I think it's "Herzeleid Orchesterlied II" not "Herzeleid Orchesterleid II" Not that I'm wanting to be nit picky.
	8:00am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:59 Nit pick away! You are correct, sir.
	⚡ 8:01am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Fathom part I" by "John Butcher, Pat Thomas, Domi... Oh that sax!
	8:02am fred: ↳ Song: "Fathom part I" by "John Butcher, Pat Thomas, Domi... If we're nitpicking, I think it's Steve Noble, not "Nuble"
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: and on the subject... steve noble although ne progably wishes he was nubile
	8:03am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:02 Editor edit thyself. Thanks Fred.
	8:03am Toothgrinder Tom: This has been a great program, Brian; keep up the good work.
	8:03am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Fathom part I" by "John Butcher, Pat Thomas, Domi... been lucky enough to have seen john butcher live a few time! happy to run into you brian! jolly good morning!
	8:03am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 I can relate.
	8:03am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @8:03 Thank you, Tom. I just need a typist apparently.
	⚡ 8:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 with all my misspellings, new computer... sensitive keyboard
	⚡ 8:04am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @8:00 Roughly, 'Leid' = 'suffering'. 'Lied' = 'song', so they're somehow related.
	8:04am Brian D: ↳ northguineahills @8:03 Likewise. Good morning.
	8:06am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:03 it's still morning enough for me to typo myself away! autocarrot, i thought we were friends!
	⚡ 8:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:06 yes it is early, brain hand coordination not quite there yet
	8:09am fred: I saw Steve Noble many times, often with bass player John Edwards. Some of these led to bizarre posts on music blogs/sites during a certain US presidential campaign
	8:09am TDK60: Whoa, Swans. Haven't heard this new slab in full yet. I was just listening to their "Leaving Meaning" album last night. (A CD out of the library. Let's hear it for libraries.)
	8:11am fred: ↳ northguineahills @8:06 Who has autocarrot cake?
	8:11am northguineahills: the sudanese RSF has elements from the Russian former Wagner group supporting it. khartoum is city i'd love to see....(not sure where i was going w/ this, only have had four hours of sleep)
	8:12am northguineahills: ↳ fred @8:11 i left it out in the rain...
	8:13am Brian D: ↳ northguineahills @8:11 Per my friend who lived in many places in Africa, and traveled there extensively, Khartoum was a great city. It may be yet again.
	8:13am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Beggar" by "Swans" the swans, a band i randomly got tix to, and realized, "that's michael gira!" (great show).
	8:16am northguineahills: ↳ Brian D @8:13 i'm an african (well, all) history buff. that place is ancient (my degree focussed on latin american, and in grad school balkan, but african studies were also a bulk of my ba)
	8:17am fred: ↳ Song: "The Beggar" by "Swans" I surprisingly like this. Expecting the over-the-top theatrics I hate to start as soon as I post this
	8:21am Robm: good morning fellow currents listeners
	⚡ 8:21am Heidee: Hi Brian and all! It's been a while :-) Hope you are all well!
	8:22am fred: ↳ Song: "CLIP: AfricaNews-Sudan conflict rages on" Another Baffler article from earlier this year, about refugees expelled from the US to South Sudan: thebaffler.com...
	8:22am Robm: ↳ Heidee @8:21 heidee you don’t call don’t write howdy
	⚡ 8:24am tom tom the pipers son: my favorite wfmu tee was the sphinx with headphones fro the way back time.
	8:24am northguineahills: ↳ fred @8:22 south sudan is still a mess. two factions not willing to compromise. and they still haven't fully demarcated the border w/ sudan.
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ Robm @8:21 Rob!
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @8:21 Heidee! I've missed you so. How's the pup?
	8:25am northguineahills: nate k's back-announcing last night was easy. all sister ray! (one version over an hour).
	8:26am Robm: ↳ Brian D @8:25 brian!!!!!!
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:22 Thanks Fred. I'll have to access from home.
	8:27am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:24 Oooh. I like the turntable one. Clean, simple.
	⚡ 8:27am Heidee: @Brian, Robm: ⏱ I know, time is flying! ⏱ Things are fine, the pup is well. How are you doing, dears?
	8:28am fred: ↳ Heidee @8:21 Heidee! Still grading (allegedly) on weekends?
	⚡ 8:30am Heidee: ↳ fred @8:28 Hi fred, I am trying to give it up :-) How are you keeping?
	⚡ 8:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:27 i like the marathon tee from last year too, the skeleton playing lyre...
	8:31am fred: ↳ Heidee @8:30 Fewer live music shows, sadly. More dance ones though, which together with bad schedule luck explains the drop
	8:31am Robm: ↳ Heidee @8:27 pretty good rainy saturday in new jersey
	8:34am TDK60: I'm so surprised to hear this news out of Trenton. (Sadly, I'm kidding.)
	8:35am rich in angleton: Brian - jen burst out in laughter at yr refined tastes comment. also.. there is a great new interview w swing kids drummer Jose palafox on the cult & culture podcast (hosted by Justin from swing kids/the locust etc etc blah blah).
	8:36am rich in angleton: I love moonshake SO much.
	8:37am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "City Poison" by "Moonshake" hmmm, i don't have this moonshake...(have plenty of their stuff, mostly on too pure)
	8:38am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:30 I think my fave is the Radio Zombies one (I'm biased). Second Bryce's marbles in a blender, but it's kind of an inside joke. Then the "eat flaming death fascist media pigs". This one is a go-to whenever there's a TV crew at work, though Ken's "trust us it's music" is a good substitute
	⚡ 8:38am tom tom the pipers son: @ ngh, went to that place i was talking about for breakfast, among what i had was a tortilla with a brown paste on top which i thought was going to be sweet, but wasn't. does it sound familiar
	⚡ 8:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:38 not familiar with first two but have read about your deployment of the las two...
	8:40am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @8:35 I bet she did. If Mrs. Currents is listening, she spit out her coffee.
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:38 Radio Zombies is a good one. And Bryce's hits the right note humor-wise.
	8:41am northguineahills: rich on GTDS stream played most of Bley's "escalator over the hill" album last night,,,,
	8:42am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Between the Past" by "Woods" i know one of the hosers in this band,,,
	8:43am JReganK: ↳ northguineahills @8:42 Bet you lugged their sound system around, too
	8:44am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:38 there are many moles that are not sweet at all, more bitter and savory... (i only specialize in central mexi cuisines, so....)
	8:45am northguineahills: ↳ JReganK @8:43 actually, no, just an old friend. (but there are other bands out there i've have schlepped for...)
	8:46am Sean Bikes: ↳ Song: "See The Light" by "Teenage Fanclub" Nothing hits like the Fannies
	⚡ 8:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:44 yeah my gringo taste buds were not ready for whatever it was, thought it was going to be chocolate based, but i guess that could be bitter as well.
	8:48am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:46 i used to ask my former mil to send me chocolate w/o sugar for cooking, and for eating. it's really bitter w/o sugar (i like bitter)
	8:50am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:46 when i played at main drag, one of my friends gave me a chocolate tinidate scorpion chili (more capsaicin than a ghost pepper/chocolate b/c it's brown/purplish in color, not flavor). i ate it in front of him w/o skipping a beat (couldn't have done that a decade ago).
	8:51am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Brian and Everyone.
	⚡ 8:51am Heidee: ↳ northguineahills @8:50 Hiya! Do you like the show "Hot ones"?
	8:52am fred: ↳ northguineahills @8:48 I hope the coming week(s) will bring sweet news job-wise, your taste for bitterness can wait until you're back in NY
	⚡ 8:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:50 wow, but how come not ten years ago?
	8:53am JReganK: ↳ Song: "Take Me With You" by "Morphine" "Up" the Morphine!
	⚡ 8:53am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Take Me With You" by "Morphine" That cello and sax together are gorgeous
	⚡ 8:54am tom tom the pipers son: thanks, brian... have a good week!
	8:54am Brian D: Alright all, that's almost it for me, believe it or not. Thank you for joining me. Pledge to the Hellraiser, stay safe and have a great week, not necessarily in that order.
	⚡ 8:55am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @8:54 And yourself as well! Thanks and take care.
	8:55am Strandlund: Thanks Brian!! Great show!! My cat Abel has been chilling to the tunes the entire time!! Thanks!!
	8:57am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:54 Thanks Brian! Let me know if you can't access the Baffler Sudan article. It's not a strict paywall, but I'm a subscriber, so I should be able to get it
	8:57am TDK60: Thanks DJ and news presenter, Brian.
	8:58am JReganK: Thnx, Brian. For featuring some pics of of our tax dollars at work
	⚡ 8:58am Michael of Cologne: Thanks, Brian! Time for me to start cooking. Doing a whole Hokkaido pumpkin in the oven tonight filled with cream and grated cheese, flavoured by the usual garlic, ginger, olive oil, salt & pepper and other spices.
	⚡ 8:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:57 yeah fred thanks for link, have it saved
	⚡ 9:00am Will thee Sound Guy: thank you Brian D!!!

	6:58am LiXiviated Life: My generation was going to save the planet with peace & love. All BS to sell us CocaCola & herbal shampoo. Maybe the world should burn
	6:59am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:49 And the name of that outlook is cynism.
	6:59am Barbie: Morning Brian
	7:00am Brian D: Barbie!
	7:00am pgalub: Good morning Brian and everyone!
	7:00am Brian D: Mr. Galub!
	7:00am dale: a good gothic morning to you.
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:00 Hello Dale! I can hear some alarms set for 7 am.
	7:02am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian!! Good Morning Listeners!!
	7:02am TDK60: Always like to hear the unusual Crime and City Solution. Sadly, I think the answer to the song is no, not yet.
	7:04am LiXiviated Life: Earth spins History loops All we change are the uniforms.
	7:05am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:02 Belated greetings, Strand.
	7:06am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:02 Alas, yes.
	⚡ 7:07am tom tom the pipers son: this concert was a swan song
	7:08am TDK60: ↳ Brian D @7:06 But there are people working for it. Like, hats off to those who protested in the Congress. Jewish Voice for Peace, and some got arrested. It does take work, peace.
	7:08am LiXiviated Life: Ok that’s enough from me for today. Going for a walk. Maybe the sun will come out.
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ LiXiviated Life @7:08 Enjoy the day, Lix.
	7:09am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:08 Very true, TDK.
	7:12am Toothgrinder Tom: ↳ Song: "Inhuman" by "Sonic Youth" This is some kind of awesome.
	⚡ 7:12am tom tom the pipers son: found a guatamalan restaurant that sells fresh food, a rarity in my neighborhood, but they stop serving breakfast early so i have to run now, be back in a few
	7:13am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! nice to be here again today.
	⚡ 7:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:12 the whole concert is, it's on bandcamp
	7:15am TDK60: I'd like to talk with ex-Sonic Youthers Lee Ranaldo, Kim, Thurston, etc. to ask how their hearing is.
	7:16am dale: ↳ TDK60 @7:15 you might have to use sign language.
	7:18am fred: ↳ TDK60 @7:15 I don't know, but I was told by several people who know him that Rhys Chatham's hearing hasn't been great for decades
	7:20am TDK60: Dale: My hearing is not gone but partially ruined. Constant ringing. I wear a hearing aid in one ear, often. I have a niece who specializes in sign language. I may need to ask her help someday. (I played in loud bands.)
	7:20am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:13 Rich!
	⚡ 7:21am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & Co. Just recovering from a Noah-like deluge yesterday.
	7:21am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:21 Brian, good morning. Storm Babet?
	⚡ 7:25am Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Brian and all!!!
	7:27am TDK60: ↳ fred @7:18 Bonjour Fred. I wouldn't be surprised. I am a fan of his "A Crimson Grail - For 400 Guitars" album he did of the live concert inside and outside the Sacré-Cœur church in Montmarte there in Paris. What an event. 2007?
	7:27am Brian D: Good morning Will!
	7:31am alanSixº: G’mornin Brian and all
	7:32am Listener Jonny in MA............. d-_-b: ↳ Song: "Piss Crowns Are Trebled" by "Godspeed You! Black ... Hellz yeah!!!
	7:33am TDK60: GY!BE! I've seen 'em a few times. I'll spare you the adjectives I would normally use.
	⚡ 7:35am Brian in UK: Brian, just read this memoir. An interesting view on the recent decline of Conservative politics in this country. A sad comparison with the USA. Recommended. www.theguardian.com...
	7:35am Brian D: ↳ alanSixº @7:31 Alan!
	7:36am fred: ↳ TDK60 @7:27 I don't know, but that sounds about right. I wasn't there, but I probably know some of the people who played. Chatham was a regular sight at noise shows in art squats and tiny venues in Paris at the time
	7:36am London Calling Francky: Oh God, how much I love Godspeed! Thanks Bryan!
	7:37am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:35 I read that review! (I subscribe to the Guardian Weekly.)
	7:37am London Calling Francky: Brian even!
	7:39am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @7:37 I'll accept both, LCF.
	7:40am TDK60: ↳ fred @7:36 For anyone who hasn't heard "400 Guitars" -- it might sound daunting and very loud, and it may have been in person, but the sound is subtle, almost gentle.
	7:41am fred: ↳ Song: "Piss Crowns Are Trebled" by "Godspeed You! Black ... The first time I saw them, I picked up a flyer for a Charlemagne Palestine at a small venue I didn't know at all. That proved a personal watershed moment. I've been there hundreds of times since. And got introduced to so much music and so many people
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:41 Great story.
	⚡ 7:59am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Herzeleid Orchesterlied II" by "Torsten Rasch" Interesting; I think it's "Herzeleid Orchesterlied II" not "Herzeleid Orchesterleid II" Not that I'm wanting to be nit picky.
	8:00am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:59 Nit pick away! You are correct, sir.
	⚡ 8:01am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Fathom part I" by "John Butcher, Pat Thomas, Domi... Oh that sax!
	8:02am fred: ↳ Song: "Fathom part I" by "John Butcher, Pat Thomas, Domi... If we're nitpicking, I think it's Steve Noble, not "Nuble"
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: and on the subject... steve noble although ne progably wishes he was nubile
	8:03am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:02 Editor edit thyself. Thanks Fred.
	8:03am Toothgrinder Tom: This has been a great program, Brian; keep up the good work.
	8:03am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Fathom part I" by "John Butcher, Pat Thomas, Domi... been lucky enough to have seen john butcher live a few time! happy to run into you brian! jolly good morning!
	8:03am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 I can relate.
	8:03am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @8:03 Thank you, Tom. I just need a typist apparently.
	⚡ 8:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 with all my misspellings, new computer... sensitive keyboard
	⚡ 8:04am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @8:00 Roughly, 'Leid' = 'suffering'. 'Lied' = 'song', so they're somehow related.
	8:04am Brian D: ↳ northguineahills @8:03 Likewise. Good morning.
	8:06am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:03 it's still morning enough for me to typo myself away! autocarrot, i thought we were friends!
	⚡ 8:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:06 yes it is early, brain hand coordination not quite there yet
	8:09am fred: I saw Steve Noble many times, often with bass player John Edwards. Some of these led to bizarre posts on music blogs/sites during a certain US presidential campaign
	8:09am TDK60: Whoa, Swans. Haven't heard this new slab in full yet. I was just listening to their "Leaving Meaning" album last night. (A CD out of the library. Let's hear it for libraries.)
	8:11am fred: ↳ northguineahills @8:06 Who has autocarrot cake?
	8:11am northguineahills: the sudanese RSF has elements from the Russian former Wagner group supporting it. khartoum is city i'd love to see....(not sure where i was going w/ this, only have had four hours of sleep)
	8:12am northguineahills: ↳ fred @8:11 i left it out in the rain...
	8:13am Brian D: ↳ northguineahills @8:11 Per my friend who lived in many places in Africa, and traveled there extensively, Khartoum was a great city. It may be yet again.
	8:13am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Beggar" by "Swans" the swans, a band i randomly got tix to, and realized, "that's michael gira!" (great show).
	8:16am northguineahills: ↳ Brian D @8:13 i'm an african (well, all) history buff. that place is ancient (my degree focussed on latin american, and in grad school balkan, but african studies were also a bulk of my ba)
	8:17am fred: ↳ Song: "The Beggar" by "Swans" I surprisingly like this. Expecting the over-the-top theatrics I hate to start as soon as I post this
	8:21am Robm: good morning fellow currents listeners
	⚡ 8:21am Heidee: Hi Brian and all! It's been a while :-) Hope you are all well!
	8:22am fred: ↳ Song: "CLIP: AfricaNews-Sudan conflict rages on" Another Baffler article from earlier this year, about refugees expelled from the US to South Sudan: thebaffler.com...
	8:22am Robm: ↳ Heidee @8:21 heidee you don’t call don’t write howdy
	⚡ 8:24am tom tom the pipers son: my favorite wfmu tee was the sphinx with headphones fro the way back time.
	8:24am northguineahills: ↳ fred @8:22 south sudan is still a mess. two factions not willing to compromise. and they still haven't fully demarcated the border w/ sudan.
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ Robm @8:21 Rob!
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @8:21 Heidee! I've missed you so. How's the pup?
	8:25am northguineahills: nate k's back-announcing last night was easy. all sister ray! (one version over an hour).
	8:26am Robm: ↳ Brian D @8:25 brian!!!!!!
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:22 Thanks Fred. I'll have to access from home.
	8:27am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:24 Oooh. I like the turntable one. Clean, simple.
	⚡ 8:27am Heidee: @Brian, Robm: ⏱ I know, time is flying! ⏱ Things are fine, the pup is well. How are you doing, dears?
	8:28am fred: ↳ Heidee @8:21 Heidee! Still grading (allegedly) on weekends?
	⚡ 8:30am Heidee: ↳ fred @8:28 Hi fred, I am trying to give it up :-) How are you keeping?
	⚡ 8:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:27 i like the marathon tee from last year too, the skeleton playing lyre...
	8:31am fred: ↳ Heidee @8:30 Fewer live music shows, sadly. More dance ones though, which together with bad schedule luck explains the drop
	8:31am Robm: ↳ Heidee @8:27 pretty good rainy saturday in new jersey
	8:34am TDK60: I'm so surprised to hear this news out of Trenton. (Sadly, I'm kidding.)
	8:35am rich in angleton: Brian - jen burst out in laughter at yr refined tastes comment. also.. there is a great new interview w swing kids drummer Jose palafox on the cult & culture podcast (hosted by Justin from swing kids/the locust etc etc blah blah).
	8:36am rich in angleton: I love moonshake SO much.
	8:37am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "City Poison" by "Moonshake" hmmm, i don't have this moonshake...(have plenty of their stuff, mostly on too pure)
	8:38am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:30 I think my fave is the Radio Zombies one (I'm biased). Second Bryce's marbles in a blender, but it's kind of an inside joke. Then the "eat flaming death fascist media pigs". This one is a go-to whenever there's a TV crew at work, though Ken's "trust us it's music" is a good substitute
	⚡ 8:38am tom tom the pipers son: @ ngh, went to that place i was talking about for breakfast, among what i had was a tortilla with a brown paste on top which i thought was going to be sweet, but wasn't. does it sound familiar
	⚡ 8:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:38 not familiar with first two but have read about your deployment of the las two...
	8:40am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @8:35 I bet she did. If Mrs. Currents is listening, she spit out her coffee.
	8:41am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:38 Radio Zombies is a good one. And Bryce's hits the right note humor-wise.
	8:41am northguineahills: rich on GTDS stream played most of Bley's "escalator over the hill" album last night,,,,
	8:42am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Between the Past" by "Woods" i know one of the hosers in this band,,,
	8:43am JReganK: ↳ northguineahills @8:42 Bet you lugged their sound system around, too
	8:44am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:38 there are many moles that are not sweet at all, more bitter and savory... (i only specialize in central mexi cuisines, so....)
	8:45am northguineahills: ↳ JReganK @8:43 actually, no, just an old friend. (but there are other bands out there i've have schlepped for...)
	8:46am Sean Bikes: ↳ Song: "See The Light" by "Teenage Fanclub" Nothing hits like the Fannies
	⚡ 8:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:44 yeah my gringo taste buds were not ready for whatever it was, thought it was going to be chocolate based, but i guess that could be bitter as well.
	8:48am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:46 i used to ask my former mil to send me chocolate w/o sugar for cooking, and for eating. it's really bitter w/o sugar (i like bitter)
	8:50am northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:46 when i played at main drag, one of my friends gave me a chocolate tinidate scorpion chili (more capsaicin than a ghost pepper/chocolate b/c it's brown/purplish in color, not flavor). i ate it in front of him w/o skipping a beat (couldn't have done that a decade ago).
	8:51am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Brian and Everyone.
	⚡ 8:51am Heidee: ↳ northguineahills @8:50 Hiya! Do you like the show "Hot ones"?
	8:52am fred: ↳ northguineahills @8:48 I hope the coming week(s) will bring sweet news job-wise, your taste for bitterness can wait until you're back in NY
	⚡ 8:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:50 wow, but how come not ten years ago?
	8:53am JReganK: ↳ Song: "Take Me With You" by "Morphine" "Up" the Morphine!
	⚡ 8:53am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Take Me With You" by "Morphine" That cello and sax together are gorgeous
	⚡ 8:54am tom tom the pipers son: thanks, brian... have a good week!
	8:54am Brian D: Alright all, that's almost it for me, believe it or not. Thank you for joining me. Pledge to the Hellraiser, stay safe and have a great week, not necessarily in that order.
	⚡ 8:55am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @8:54 And yourself as well! Thanks and take care.
	8:55am Strandlund: Thanks Brian!! Great show!! My cat Abel has been chilling to the tunes the entire time!! Thanks!!

	8:57am TDK60: Thanks DJ and news presenter, Brian.
	8:58am JReganK: Thnx, Brian. For featuring some pics of of our tax dollars at work
	⚡ 8:58am Michael of Cologne: Thanks, Brian! Time for me to start cooking. Doing a whole Hokkaido pumpkin in the oven tonight filled with cream and grated cheese, flavoured by the usual garlic, ginger, olive oil, salt & pepper and other spices.
