	7:06pm listener james from westwood: Daaaaaamn, those pipes!
	7:17pm tom tom the pipers son: feel last two have a slow, sad tempo, but maybe i'm projecting
	7:18pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:17 Meaning bends to the moment
	🇰🇷 7:27pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Romman" by "Haifa Kamal" Rather a change of pace from the rap-based songs.
	7:35pm northguineahills: anything from the british palaestinian mandate?
	7:35pm Gary: Hey there, NGH
	7:39pm Ike: Hi. There used to be a right-wing Jewish ultra-Orthodox FM pirate in Boro Park, Brooklyn, called Voice of Peace, perhaps ironically named after the actual peace-loving VOP pirate that operated for many years off the coast of Israel: en.m.wikipedia.org...
	7:39pm Juli: Good evening:::}
	7:40pm Gary: Evening, Ike and Juli
	7:42pm Rich in Washington: Gary! A rare evening when I can listen AND be on the chat.

	7:43pm Gary: Hey there, Rich
	7:43pm tim abdellah: ↳ Ike @7:39 So interesting! Thanks for sharing, Ike
	7:44pm Rich in Washington: That Radio Palestine album was my entry into the wonderful world of Sublime Frequencies.
	7:45pm Gary: ↳ Ike @7:39 I didn't know about that, thanks, Ike
	7:45pm headcleaner: ↳ northguineahills @7:35 I assume Gary's programs are borderless by default, NGH. That said I wouldn't mind hearing some Druze, Bedouin and/or Orthodox Christian sounds, if the set takes us that way
	7:45pm Juli: Saturn & Jupiter are in retrograde::: Boy is it effecting & affecting me
	7:48pm tom tom the pipers son: palestinian diaspora Jordan 3,240,000 Israel 1,650,000 Syria 630,000 Chile 500,000 (largest Palestinian community outside the Middle East). Lebanon 402,582 Saudi Arabia 280,245 Egypt 270,245 United States 255,000 (the largest concentrations in Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles; History of Palestinians in Los Angeles).

	7:52pm Juli: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:48 This is part of what is affecting my mind.
	7:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @7:44 i believe, me too... time wise kind of in sync with secret museum of mankind releases
	7:52pm Juli: & effecting
	7:52pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Sabra et Chatila" by "Nass El Ghiwane" I haven't heard this in quite a while It's so good! This was released in 1983, commenting on the 1982 massacre of many Palestinian refugees in Sabra & Shatila (Lebanon).
	7:53pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @7:52 Thank you for suggesting it the other day!
	7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tim abdellah @7:52 thanks for the info, tim
	7:54pm Juli: The world needs to start fixing & healing itself somewhere So why not here
	7:56pm tom tom the pipers son: About Nass El Ghiwane are a musical group established in 1970 in Casablanca, Morocco. The group, which originated in avant-garde political theater, has played an influential role in Moroccan chaabi. Nass El Ghiwane were the first band to introduce Western instruments like the modern banjo. Wikipedia
	🇰🇷 7:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Hello.
	7:57pm Listener Gregory: My internet went out entirely in the past few minutes, so I missed those songs. I apologize to Gary and all the listeners.
	8:01pm Gary: Hey there, RevRab
	8:03pm tom tom the pipers son: love it in arabic music, in larger group settings when the music goes from a solo instrument playing, to suddenly whole group and back again...kinda had that in beginning
	8:05pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Palestinian Wedding Music" by "Unknown Artists" Lots of clicky-star material tonite, for sure
	8:08pm Carmichael: Heya Gary and all foreigners living abroad.
	🇰🇷 8:08pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:57 I was concerned little but all is better now
	8:09pm Juli: Beauty
	🇰🇷 8:09pm chresti: ↳ chresti @8:08 *a little
	8:09pm northguineahills: ↳ headcleaner @7:45 i was assuming temporal borders rather than spatial....
	🇰🇷 8:11pm chresti: I’m still w/o laptop so reading and typing on the website with the phone
	8:12pm Gary: Hey there, Carmichael
	8:12pm tom tom the pipers son: interesting tidbit from the voice of peace wiki: The telephone forum chaired by Abie Nathan called "Kol Ha Lev" (Voice of the Heart) and then Ma La'asot? (?מה לעשות, "What to do?") was the only uncensored direct public dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians. thanks ike...
	8:12pm slugluv1313: greetings, Gary! Bodega lovers! so appreciate this -- have been so frazzled, feeling helpless -- the music is helping to soothe -- shukran, Gary
	8:12pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:48 i assume those diaspora figures include refugee populations in lebanon, syria, and jordan (numbers look right), where they are considered stateless. (in the aforementioned, there is also those of palestinian background w/ citizenship.
	8:13pm Gary: Evening, Slugluv
	8:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @7:44 i think radio indonesia was mine, then palestine...
	🇰🇷 8:15pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:12 Cool, happening now?
	8:15pm slugluv1313: ↳ Juli @7:45 hi Juli! YIKES! not recalling exactly what that is all about, but i DO recall that it is HEAVY (now off to do some research)
	8:16pm headcleaner: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:48 Worth noting that (outside of the Middle East), and particularly in LATAM, a sizeable portion of the diaspora is pre-1948, and more likely to be of Christian affiliation. Which is not to distract from the events of 1948 and their aftermath. But just to keep in mind the fact that this population is quite diverse.
	8:17pm Juli: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:15 Awe:::I don't even remember what I said a half hour ago lol Stoned perhaps Let me go back & see
	8:17pm Listener Gregory: This is not quite making me want to get married, but I would like to be outside a wedding with this music seeping out.
	8:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:17 a shotgun would have to be involved to get me married again...
	8:19pm Juli: I look real bad in other ppls photographs of me:::I think it's a hex ::::{ In my own& the mirror I look different I feel like I'll never have friends because of bad photographs lol Off to dance in a mirror Wait Off to read 7:45 comments first then dance
	8:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:12 yeah, idk if the numbers are refugees plus citizens, the wiki page doesn't specify but numbers in jordan are large and i would assume count refugees...
	8:19pm slugluv1313: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:48 hi tom! sheesh -- no one in Hungary? (why am i not surprised? my mother country is increasingly embarrassing)
	8:20pm Juli: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:15 Cool!!! Let me know what you find!
	8:20pm headcleaner: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:12 I zoomed in on that sentence as well, TT. Which highlights what's so sad about recent events -- the suppression of dialog, and the removal of basically all oxygen from the room.
	8:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ headcleaner @8:16 yes that is a good point to bring up. i just posted list in relation to gary playing music from outside of palestine
	8:21pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Visitors YT15B - Jerusalem, Palestine" by "Alabas... Multifaceted is our Alabaster. Got to meet him by accident a few years back.
	8:22pm Juli: I know if I had more of a life I'd be writing more I have a new cave now!!!!!
	8:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @8:15 no, but check out ike's link
	8:22pm Juli: I sure hope the human race wins:::: I can only work on my music & art about it Saying it online ain't working
	8:24pm northguineahills: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:19 you do know how anti-immigrant/refugee fidesz and orban are, right? (they put up a border fence on the croatian border to keep refugees from trying to come in (as croatia is also schengen)
	8:24pm Jil B: Hi Gary, tuning in from snow covered North Dakota
	8:24pm Dean: When I hear music like this Palestinian Wedding Music or--fairness doctrine!--Cedille's amazing records of Yiddish cabaret music, or what have you--I am confident that the human race has won.
	8:24pm Gary: Hi Mom! Wow, already -- I'll give you a call tomorrow!
	8:25pm Gary: Hey there, Dean
	8:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:19 hello there slugluv, missed yr hello
	8:32pm slugluv1313: ↳ northguineahills @8:24 hi ngh! yes, exactly -- that is one of the many examples
	8:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ headcleaner @8:20 yes, one other thing that also stuck out was the closing of the station in light of oslo accords partially, seeing that as a move forward, but many others didn't see it that way, including edward said who left meetings in protest
	8:33pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, I’m afraid it will be a Pyrrhic victory. (And NO, I didn’t have to look up Pyrrhic three times to spell it correctly!)
	🇰🇷 8:35pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:22 Thanks! Ketching up..
	8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @8:35 better than kvetching (up)...;)
	8:36pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Palestine" by "Jil Jilala" Nice! This sounds like pretty early Jil Jilala - maybe 1970s
	8:38pm tim abdellah: ↳ tim abdellah @8:36 Maybe 1975! www.discogs.com...
	8:39pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Yasmine" by "Huda Asfour" Can't stop clicky-starring ...
	8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Yasmine" by "Huda Asfour" remarkably this kind of reminds me of 'love buzz' by shocking blue
	8:39pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:36 It's from one of my CDs, I gotta go get it to remember what the cover looks like
	8:43pm Gary: www.amazon.com...entries=0&Version=1
	8:43pm tom tom the pipers son: anyone in nyc area receiving phone calls where no one answers when you pick up, 4-5 times a day?
	8:46pm tom tom the pipers son: great vocals on this...
	8:47pm Omar Quteineh: Hello there.. Are we firing up some Shabjdeed or Muqata'a soon? Maybe Kamilya Jubran's Kam (For So Many Times)? Anyhow, I'm very much enjoying being here with you at 3:47 Amman time.
	8:49pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @8:47 Hey there, Omar -- so nice to see you here! It's deep in the early morning your time
	8:49pm headcleaner: Salaam + very nice to have you with us, Omar
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: @tom tom, those are probably robo-calls hoping to find a human who will talk to their operator. If multiple people pick up, only one might get the joy of speaking to the available operator.
	8:53pm Carmichael: My iPhone actually told me yesterday “possible political call”. That was a joy to see.
	8:54pm headcleaner: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:43 Not every 4-5 days but once in a while. I generally give out a fake voicemail number (such as provided by that company whose name rhymes with oogle) for most signups, and basically never answer my actual cell unless it's from a number I recognize. That tends to keep the robocall harassment down to a somewhat tolerable level.
	8:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:51 thx, they are coming later and later in the day, most times i don't pick up
	8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ headcleaner @8:54 thx, the calls have ebbed and flowed, happen to be 'flowing right now...
	9:00pm Dean: How so, LG? Why Pyrrhic?
	9:07pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, there might not be too many of us left able to enjoy all the fruits of culture after all our wars, repressive governments, hate groups, and so on. Humanity is a big disappointment to me (and I don’t except myself from that judgment). Sorry for being negative. I will just sit over here and look out the window, sighing.
	9:08pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Palestinian Wedding Music" by "Unknown Artists" this is so so incredible -- again, thank you! when i was volunteering with NAAP-NY (Network of Arab American Professionals -- New York -- not sure if they are currently active?) i always worked at their annual street festival in Manhattan -- Al-Nujoom always brought the house down! a Palestinian Dabke troupe based in Paterson, NJ, they did a LOT of weddings -- so i wanted to get married just so i could have these guys perform at my wedding 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 youtu.be...
	9:09pm Gary: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:08 Paterson! That is the town that Nouri Brothers is in
	9:09pm DJ Peter: Love this music, thanks Gary. Now we just have to get it heard by the people who need to hear it...
	9:10pm Gary: Evening, DJ Peter
	9:10pm tom tom the pipers son: have posted this on other chats so forgive me if you've seen this before... but i chat with a young palestinian woman in my local supermarket and of course, we've talked about what's going on. she has a hard time hearing about it, but said that tha expulsion of palestinians was prophesied in a sacred text, and also it said that one day, far in the future, palestinians would return to their homeland. on the one hand, this sounds like magical thinking and is understandable in such dire circumstances, otoh might it turn out to be what manifests
	9:11pm Omar Quteineh: DAM and Rachid Taha are buddies.
	9:12pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:11 Oh, I didn't know that! RIP, Rachid Taha
	9:12pm Dean: I "embrace" my disappointment with humanity. Nothing you describe suggests we've "pivoted" (what a stupid word!) in any material way. We have always been monsters. My greatest disappointment--inasmuch as I keep expecting more from people--is the way they drive.
	9:13pm Dean: But we win because, goddamn, the music, the art, the literature, all the useless shit, is marvelous and perfect.
	9:14pm headcleaner: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:07 My biggest fear is that the climate crisis may in fact turn out to be reasonably tractable to deal with, from an economic / technological point of view. But that we'll never get around to implementing enough of the fixes in time, due to all the hate, provocation, doomscrolling & general assholery that people seem to prefer gravitating towards (current crowd excepted).
	9:14pm Listener Gregory: Don’t get me started on people who will not drive through an intersection even though it is their turn! Really, do not!!
	9:20pm Dean: I won't, LG. But I take your point.
	9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ headcleaner @9:14 seems to me that geo political events are mimicking climate events, like the unwillingness of nations to deal with climate crisis is bringing about a return of the repressed in human events
	9:21pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Blinded Freedom" by "Mahmoud Shalabi" Clicky-starring like a rat in a cage in some insane professor's experiment. More, more, more ...
	9:22pm Omar Quteineh: "We are people who have lived for thousands of years, and you came here to teach us how to live!!!" -- Mahmoud Shalabi
	9:23pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:22 Thank you, Omar!
	9:25pm Omar Quteineh: This intro always haunts me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq7rGcD6zy4
	9:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Witch's Intifada" by "Abeer Alzinati, Feat. Suhel... esp dig this one..
	9:27pm slugluv1313: ↳ Gary @9:09 oh cool! (have not been to Paterson in way too long)
	9:27pm headcleaner: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:20 That's an interesting theory and quite plausible. Meanwhlie, by far the most important news in recent weeks (stronger, and more depressing results in regard to the expected collapse of the Antarctic ice shelf -- within decades, not centuries) has of course been basically eclipsed by the recent spike in horror and awfulness. (As if the man in the street could actually care about one or the other, if not immediatel affected).
	9:28pm slugluv1313: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:11 i did not know that either! damn, i miss Rachid Taha
	9:29pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:25 I needed a trigger warning about that Trump voice, oh man
	9:29pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @9:13 yep
	9:30pm headcleaner: Anyone got any good / cheap restaurant or shopping tips for Paterson? Need to make a field trip out there, when I have spending money again
	9:30pm Dean: Heh, thanks mackeral.
	9:31pm Omar Quteineh: I think El Rass is from Baalbek.
	9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ headcleaner @9:27 what's happening to the planet is really beyond human grasp
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: greetings Gary, bodegatrons
	9:34pm Gary: Hey there, Coelacanth
	9:35pm slugluv1313: Toros is Turkish, but freaking awesome: torosrestaurant.com there is a huge shopping center, also on Main Street -- but i cannot remember its name 🤯🤯
	🇰🇷 9:36pm Bobby: Hello DJ hello chat!
	9:36pm headcleaner: Not entirely by coincidence, my stomach is looking forward to that pot of red lentil soup I'll be pulling out of the fridge + re-heating shortly after the close of this wonderful set. Not a specifically Palestinian dish (it's all over the Levant / Turkey / North Africa) but something of staple in their cuisine, from what I understand. With shots of lemon + aleppo pepper. If I only had some fresh pita.
	9:36pm Gary: Evening, Bobby
	9:37pm Dean: Beg to differ, tom tom. It isn't at all beyond human grasp. In fact, that's the point. We know we are affecting climate. What is happening, however, doesn't comport with a lot of people's expectations and demands. Sorry, folks, but things don't always turn out the way you want it to turn out.
	9:38pm Omar Quteineh: Oh, I'm sorry for the misinformation, Gary. El Rass is from Tripoli, Lebanon. I don't why I was thinking about a Fayrouz song that mentions baalbek when I submitted that comment and in my head I connected that song to El Rass.
	9:38pm headcleaner: ↳ headcleaner @9:36 And excellent survival food, if you're on a tight budget (as I am presently). $1 or so for a very healthy meal.
	9:39pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Track 5" by "Muharib Dhib محارب ذيب" Interesting! I always assume that these rabab-playing reciters of poetry are singing very old epic poems about the Bani Hilal or other old Arab characters. Interesting that he's delivering poetry about a modern situation in this form
	9:39pm Listener Gregory: Gary, do you know what instrument is accompanying Dhib (bowed string instrument, sounds like one string).
	9:39pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:38 Oh, haha, no worries. I saw a very strange film recently about these two journalists on their way to see maybe Wadih al-Safi or someone at Baalbek
	9:40pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:39 Gregory, see Tim's comment right above yours!
	9:41pm headcleaner: ↳ Dean @9:37 I'm with Dean on this perspective. And that's what keeps my stomach in a perpetual state of churn, in regard to what seems far too likely to happen. Unless vastly more people start chilling out + listening to programs like this one (instead of snorting all those garbage news feeds they seem addicted to), that is.
	9:41pm slugluv1313: ↳ headcleaner @9:30 there is Nouri Brothers! as Gary mentioned -- also on Main Street -- but i recall another shopping center too nouribrothers.com...
	9:42pm tim abdellah: ↳ Gary @9:40 Here's a video of this particular reciter - I didn't realize these rababs could be so big! www.youtube.com...
	9:42pm mackeral: ↳ headcleaner @9:41 and in the meantime, let's all have some red lentil soup!
	9:43pm Gary: Omar, if you're still here, I found some Kamilya Jubran I'm about to queue up after this track for ya
	9:44pm slugluv1313: ↳ headcleaner @9:36 now i am craving the red lentil soup from Toros!
	9:44pm Gary: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:44 Nothing better than Turkish lentil soup, gotta say
	9:46pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Ya Halali" by "Sabreen" vocalist Kamilya Jubran is out of this world
	9:47pm Gary: Mackeral!
	9:47pm Omar Quteineh: Thank you, Gary. Yeah, I'm here.. always here.
	9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:31 what i was referring to was the way geo political events are keeping climate events like collapse of ice shelf out of consciousness seems that there's not enough mental space
	9:48pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, Gary and Tim. If it’s a single string, I might be able to manage it.
	9:48pm coelacanth∅: i miss the red lentil soup from a turkish restaurant that used to be here in town. aside from delicious it would be about the only thing on the menu that i could afford now.
	9:49pm mackeral: ↳ Gary @9:47 late to the party. adding a calendar reminder!
	9:49pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:47 Can't believe you're still awake, it's almost 5:00 am there, haha
	9:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:48 that and the baklava, which was also strangely affordable -and delicious
	9:51pm Omar Quteineh: Oh, I woke up at 2AM.
	🇰🇷 9:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Makan" by "Kamilya Jubran" The kind of soulful 'traditional' Arab Music I particularly love...
	9:51pm Gary: Hey, Kids! Stick around after this for Sam Segal's always-already terrific If You Lose Your Horse! Tonight's program: "When the Moon Was the Blind Eye of the Horse" wfmu.org...
	9:53pm tom tom the pipers son: thank you gary, liked everything you've played tonight...
	9:54pm Omar Quteineh: Thanks Gary for this marvelous episode.
	9:54pm zmzm: hello!
	9:55pm Gary: Zmzm!
	9:55pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:54 My pleasure, Omar
	9:55pm Listener Gregory: This whole show has had me sitting around staring at my phone to read all the comments and titles, which I really don’t do. This is your fault, Gary!
	9:56pm tim abdellah: Thanks Gary - really nice set!! Goodnite folks
	9:57pm Listener Gregory: Thanks a million, Gary. A much-needed show.
	🇰🇷 9:59pm chresti: Thanks Gary!
	9:59pm headcleaner: Yet another essential document, Gary. Fine stuff indeed.
	🇰🇷 9:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Gary ~
	9:59pm slugluv1313: this has been so . . . healing? but, like Listener Gregory said at 9:57 :) thank you so very very much!
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Gary
	10:00pm Gary: Goodnight, and thanks, everyone -- let yourselves be heard
	10:00pm headcleaner: Thanks for the shopping tips, everyone -- all are welcome to join me for soup ...

	7:01pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:00 I always restart my router when I exit the chair nearest to my computer. This keeps the electrical impulse fully up to date.
	7:02pm tim abdellah: Salaam, Gary and friends
	7:02pm listener james from westwood: That $9 was gnawing at me. Done and done!
	7:02pm peter: hey Gary & co.!
	7:03pm tom tom the pipers son: hello gary, remember there was a sub freq edition of palestinian music/ sounds, playing that?
	🇰🇷 7:03pm Listener Gregory: 100%!!! Congratulations, Gary. Good work.
	🇰🇷 7:04pm chresti: Hi Gary bodega show!
	7:05pm Gary: Evening, Tim, Peter, Tomx2, and Chresti
	7:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ah, you are playing that...
	7:06pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Voice Of Peace?" by "Radio Palestine (Recorded by... Melting into this
	7:06pm listener james from westwood: Daaaaaamn, those pipes!
	7:17pm tom tom the pipers son: feel last two have a slow, sad tempo, but maybe i'm projecting
	7:18pm Gary: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:17 Meaning bends to the moment
	🇰🇷 7:27pm Listener Gregory: ↳ Song: "Romman" by "Haifa Kamal" Rather a change of pace from the rap-based songs.
	7:35pm northguineahills: anything from the british palaestinian mandate?
	7:35pm Gary: Hey there, NGH
	7:39pm Ike: Hi. There used to be a right-wing Jewish ultra-Orthodox FM pirate in Boro Park, Brooklyn, called Voice of Peace, perhaps ironically named after the actual peace-loving VOP pirate that operated for many years off the coast of Israel: en.m.wikipedia.org...
	7:39pm Juli: Good evening:::}
	7:40pm Gary: Evening, Ike and Juli
	7:42pm Rich in Washington: Gary! A rare evening when I can listen AND be on the chat.
	7:42pm headcleaner: ↳ Ike @7:39 Fascinating link, Ike - Shukran
	7:43pm Gary: Hey there, Rich
	7:43pm tim abdellah: ↳ Ike @7:39 So interesting! Thanks for sharing, Ike
	7:44pm Rich in Washington: That Radio Palestine album was my entry into the wonderful world of Sublime Frequencies.
	7:45pm Gary: ↳ Ike @7:39 I didn't know about that, thanks, Ike
	7:45pm headcleaner: ↳ northguineahills @7:35 I assume Gary's programs are borderless by default, NGH. That said I wouldn't mind hearing some Druze, Bedouin and/or Orthodox Christian sounds, if the set takes us that way
	7:45pm Juli: Saturn & Jupiter are in retrograde::: Boy is it effecting & affecting me
	7:48pm tom tom the pipers son: palestinian diaspora Jordan 3,240,000 Israel 1,650,000 Syria 630,000 Chile 500,000 (largest Palestinian community outside the Middle East). Lebanon 402,582 Saudi Arabia 280,245 Egypt 270,245 United States 255,000 (the largest concentrations in Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles; History of Palestinians in Los Angeles).

	7:52pm Juli: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:48 This is part of what is affecting my mind.
	7:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @7:44 i believe, me too... time wise kind of in sync with secret museum of mankind releases
	7:52pm Juli: & effecting
	7:52pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Sabra et Chatila" by "Nass El Ghiwane" I haven't heard this in quite a while It's so good! This was released in 1983, commenting on the 1982 massacre of many Palestinian refugees in Sabra & Shatila (Lebanon).
	7:53pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @7:52 Thank you for suggesting it the other day!
	7:53pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tim abdellah @7:52 thanks for the info, tim
	7:54pm Juli: The world needs to start fixing & healing itself somewhere So why not here
	7:56pm tom tom the pipers son: About Nass El Ghiwane are a musical group established in 1970 in Casablanca, Morocco. The group, which originated in avant-garde political theater, has played an influential role in Moroccan chaabi. Nass El Ghiwane were the first band to introduce Western instruments like the modern banjo. Wikipedia
	🇰🇷 7:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah. Hello.
	7:57pm Listener Gregory: My internet went out entirely in the past few minutes, so I missed those songs. I apologize to Gary and all the listeners.
	8:01pm Gary: Hey there, RevRab
	8:03pm tom tom the pipers son: love it in arabic music, in larger group settings when the music goes from a solo instrument playing, to suddenly whole group and back again...kinda had that in beginning
	8:05pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Palestinian Wedding Music" by "Unknown Artists" Lots of clicky-star material tonite, for sure
	8:08pm Carmichael: Heya Gary and all foreigners living abroad.
	🇰🇷 8:08pm chresti: ↳ Listener Gregory @7:57 I was concerned little but all is better now
	8:09pm Juli: Beauty
	🇰🇷 8:09pm chresti: ↳ chresti @8:08 *a little
	8:09pm northguineahills: ↳ headcleaner @7:45 i was assuming temporal borders rather than spatial....
	🇰🇷 8:11pm chresti: I’m still w/o laptop so reading and typing on the website with the phone
	8:12pm Gary: Hey there, Carmichael
	8:12pm tom tom the pipers son: interesting tidbit from the voice of peace wiki: The telephone forum chaired by Abie Nathan called "Kol Ha Lev" (Voice of the Heart) and then Ma La'asot? (?מה לעשות, "What to do?") was the only uncensored direct public dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians. thanks ike...
	8:12pm slugluv1313: greetings, Gary! Bodega lovers! so appreciate this -- have been so frazzled, feeling helpless -- the music is helping to soothe -- shukran, Gary
	8:12pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:48 i assume those diaspora figures include refugee populations in lebanon, syria, and jordan (numbers look right), where they are considered stateless. (in the aforementioned, there is also those of palestinian background w/ citizenship.
	8:13pm Gary: Evening, Slugluv
	8:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @7:44 i think radio indonesia was mine, then palestine...
	🇰🇷 8:15pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:12 Cool, happening now?
	8:15pm slugluv1313: ↳ Juli @7:45 hi Juli! YIKES! not recalling exactly what that is all about, but i DO recall that it is HEAVY (now off to do some research)
	8:16pm headcleaner: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:48 Worth noting that (outside of the Middle East), and particularly in LATAM, a sizeable portion of the diaspora is pre-1948, and more likely to be of Christian affiliation. Which is not to distract from the events of 1948 and their aftermath. But just to keep in mind the fact that this population is quite diverse.
	8:17pm Juli: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:15 Awe:::I don't even remember what I said a half hour ago lol Stoned perhaps Let me go back & see
	8:17pm Listener Gregory: This is not quite making me want to get married, but I would like to be outside a wedding with this music seeping out.
	8:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:17 a shotgun would have to be involved to get me married again...
	8:19pm Juli: I look real bad in other ppls photographs of me:::I think it's a hex ::::{ In my own& the mirror I look different I feel like I'll never have friends because of bad photographs lol Off to dance in a mirror Wait Off to read 7:45 comments first then dance
	8:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @8:12 yeah, idk if the numbers are refugees plus citizens, the wiki page doesn't specify but numbers in jordan are large and i would assume count refugees...
	8:19pm slugluv1313: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:48 hi tom! sheesh -- no one in Hungary? (why am i not surprised? my mother country is increasingly embarrassing)
	8:20pm Juli: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:15 Cool!!! Let me know what you find!
	8:20pm headcleaner: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:12 I zoomed in on that sentence as well, TT. Which highlights what's so sad about recent events -- the suppression of dialog, and the removal of basically all oxygen from the room.
	8:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ headcleaner @8:16 yes that is a good point to bring up. i just posted list in relation to gary playing music from outside of palestine
	8:21pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Visitors YT15B - Jerusalem, Palestine" by "Alabas... Multifaceted is our Alabaster. Got to meet him by accident a few years back.
	8:22pm Juli: I know if I had more of a life I'd be writing more I have a new cave now!!!!!
	8:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @8:15 no, but check out ike's link
	8:22pm Juli: I sure hope the human race wins:::: I can only work on my music & art about it Saying it online ain't working
	8:24pm northguineahills: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:19 you do know how anti-immigrant/refugee fidesz and orban are, right? (they put up a border fence on the croatian border to keep refugees from trying to come in (as croatia is also schengen)
	8:24pm Jil B: Hi Gary, tuning in from snow covered North Dakota
	8:24pm Dean: When I hear music like this Palestinian Wedding Music or--fairness doctrine!--Cedille's amazing records of Yiddish cabaret music, or what have you--I am confident that the human race has won.
	8:24pm Gary: Hi Mom! Wow, already -- I'll give you a call tomorrow!
	8:25pm Gary: Hey there, Dean
	8:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ slugluv1313 @8:19 hello there slugluv, missed yr hello
	8:32pm slugluv1313: ↳ northguineahills @8:24 hi ngh! yes, exactly -- that is one of the many examples
	8:33pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ headcleaner @8:20 yes, one other thing that also stuck out was the closing of the station in light of oslo accords partially, seeing that as a move forward, but many others didn't see it that way, including edward said who left meetings in protest
	8:33pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, I’m afraid it will be a Pyrrhic victory. (And NO, I didn’t have to look up Pyrrhic three times to spell it correctly!)
	🇰🇷 8:35pm chresti: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:22 Thanks! Ketching up..
	8:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ chresti @8:35 better than kvetching (up)...;)
	8:36pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Palestine" by "Jil Jilala" Nice! This sounds like pretty early Jil Jilala - maybe 1970s
	8:38pm tim abdellah: ↳ tim abdellah @8:36 Maybe 1975! www.discogs.com...
	8:39pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Yasmine" by "Huda Asfour" Can't stop clicky-starring ...
	8:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Yasmine" by "Huda Asfour" remarkably this kind of reminds me of 'love buzz' by shocking blue
	8:39pm Gary: ↳ tim abdellah @8:36 It's from one of my CDs, I gotta go get it to remember what the cover looks like
	8:43pm Gary: www.amazon.com...entries=0&Version=1
	8:43pm tom tom the pipers son: anyone in nyc area receiving phone calls where no one answers when you pick up, 4-5 times a day?
	8:46pm tom tom the pipers son: great vocals on this...
	8:47pm Omar Quteineh: Hello there.. Are we firing up some Shabjdeed or Muqata'a soon? Maybe Kamilya Jubran's Kam (For So Many Times)? Anyhow, I'm very much enjoying being here with you at 3:47 Amman time.
	8:49pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @8:47 Hey there, Omar -- so nice to see you here! It's deep in the early morning your time
	8:49pm headcleaner: Salaam + very nice to have you with us, Omar
	8:51pm Listener Gregory: @tom tom, those are probably robo-calls hoping to find a human who will talk to their operator. If multiple people pick up, only one might get the joy of speaking to the available operator.
	8:53pm Carmichael: My iPhone actually told me yesterday “possible political call”. That was a joy to see.
	8:54pm headcleaner: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:43 Not every 4-5 days but once in a while. I generally give out a fake voicemail number (such as provided by that company whose name rhymes with oogle) for most signups, and basically never answer my actual cell unless it's from a number I recognize. That tends to keep the robocall harassment down to a somewhat tolerable level.
	8:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener Gregory @8:51 thx, they are coming later and later in the day, most times i don't pick up
	8:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ headcleaner @8:54 thx, the calls have ebbed and flowed, happen to be 'flowing right now...
	9:00pm Dean: How so, LG? Why Pyrrhic?
	9:07pm Listener Gregory: @Dean, there might not be too many of us left able to enjoy all the fruits of culture after all our wars, repressive governments, hate groups, and so on. Humanity is a big disappointment to me (and I don’t except myself from that judgment). Sorry for being negative. I will just sit over here and look out the window, sighing.
	9:08pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Palestinian Wedding Music" by "Unknown Artists" this is so so incredible -- again, thank you! when i was volunteering with NAAP-NY (Network of Arab American Professionals -- New York -- not sure if they are currently active?) i always worked at their annual street festival in Manhattan -- Al-Nujoom always brought the house down! a Palestinian Dabke troupe based in Paterson, NJ, they did a LOT of weddings -- so i wanted to get married just so i could have these guys perform at my wedding 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 youtu.be...
	9:09pm Gary: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:08 Paterson! That is the town that Nouri Brothers is in
	9:09pm DJ Peter: Love this music, thanks Gary. Now we just have to get it heard by the people who need to hear it...
	9:10pm Gary: Evening, DJ Peter
	9:10pm tom tom the pipers son: have posted this on other chats so forgive me if you've seen this before... but i chat with a young palestinian woman in my local supermarket and of course, we've talked about what's going on. she has a hard time hearing about it, but said that tha expulsion of palestinians was prophesied in a sacred text, and also it said that one day, far in the future, palestinians would return to their homeland. on the one hand, this sounds like magical thinking and is understandable in such dire circumstances, otoh might it turn out to be what manifests
	9:11pm Omar Quteineh: DAM and Rachid Taha are buddies.
	9:12pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:11 Oh, I didn't know that! RIP, Rachid Taha
	9:12pm Dean: I "embrace" my disappointment with humanity. Nothing you describe suggests we've "pivoted" (what a stupid word!) in any material way. We have always been monsters. My greatest disappointment--inasmuch as I keep expecting more from people--is the way they drive.
	9:13pm Dean: But we win because, goddamn, the music, the art, the literature, all the useless shit, is marvelous and perfect.
	9:14pm headcleaner: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:07 My biggest fear is that the climate crisis may in fact turn out to be reasonably tractable to deal with, from an economic / technological point of view. But that we'll never get around to implementing enough of the fixes in time, due to all the hate, provocation, doomscrolling & general assholery that people seem to prefer gravitating towards (current crowd excepted).
	9:14pm Listener Gregory: Don’t get me started on people who will not drive through an intersection even though it is their turn! Really, do not!!
	9:20pm Dean: I won't, LG. But I take your point.
	9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ headcleaner @9:14 seems to me that geo political events are mimicking climate events, like the unwillingness of nations to deal with climate crisis is bringing about a return of the repressed in human events
	9:21pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Blinded Freedom" by "Mahmoud Shalabi" Clicky-starring like a rat in a cage in some insane professor's experiment. More, more, more ...
	9:22pm Omar Quteineh: "We are people who have lived for thousands of years, and you came here to teach us how to live!!!" -- Mahmoud Shalabi
	9:23pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:22 Thank you, Omar!
	9:25pm Omar Quteineh: This intro always haunts me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq7rGcD6zy4
	9:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Witch's Intifada" by "Abeer Alzinati, Feat. Suhel... esp dig this one..
	9:27pm slugluv1313: ↳ Gary @9:09 oh cool! (have not been to Paterson in way too long)
	9:27pm headcleaner: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:20 That's an interesting theory and quite plausible. Meanwhlie, by far the most important news in recent weeks (stronger, and more depressing results in regard to the expected collapse of the Antarctic ice shelf -- within decades, not centuries) has of course been basically eclipsed by the recent spike in horror and awfulness. (As if the man in the street could actually care about one or the other, if not immediatel affected).
	9:28pm slugluv1313: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:11 i did not know that either! damn, i miss Rachid Taha
	9:29pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:25 I needed a trigger warning about that Trump voice, oh man
	9:29pm mackeral: ↳ Dean @9:13 yep
	9:30pm headcleaner: Anyone got any good / cheap restaurant or shopping tips for Paterson? Need to make a field trip out there, when I have spending money again
	9:30pm Dean: Heh, thanks mackeral.
	9:31pm Omar Quteineh: I think El Rass is from Baalbek.
	9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ headcleaner @9:27 what's happening to the planet is really beyond human grasp
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: greetings Gary, bodegatrons
	9:34pm Gary: Hey there, Coelacanth
	9:35pm slugluv1313: Toros is Turkish, but freaking awesome: torosrestaurant.com there is a huge shopping center, also on Main Street -- but i cannot remember its name 🤯🤯
	🇰🇷 9:36pm Bobby: Hello DJ hello chat!
	9:36pm headcleaner: Not entirely by coincidence, my stomach is looking forward to that pot of red lentil soup I'll be pulling out of the fridge + re-heating shortly after the close of this wonderful set. Not a specifically Palestinian dish (it's all over the Levant / Turkey / North Africa) but something of staple in their cuisine, from what I understand. With shots of lemon + aleppo pepper. If I only had some fresh pita.
	9:36pm Gary: Evening, Bobby
	9:37pm Dean: Beg to differ, tom tom. It isn't at all beyond human grasp. In fact, that's the point. We know we are affecting climate. What is happening, however, doesn't comport with a lot of people's expectations and demands. Sorry, folks, but things don't always turn out the way you want it to turn out.
	9:38pm Omar Quteineh: Oh, I'm sorry for the misinformation, Gary. El Rass is from Tripoli, Lebanon. I don't why I was thinking about a Fayrouz song that mentions baalbek when I submitted that comment and in my head I connected that song to El Rass.
	9:38pm headcleaner: ↳ headcleaner @9:36 And excellent survival food, if you're on a tight budget (as I am presently). $1 or so for a very healthy meal.
	9:39pm tim abdellah: ↳ Song: "Track 5" by "Muharib Dhib محارب ذيب" Interesting! I always assume that these rabab-playing reciters of poetry are singing very old epic poems about the Bani Hilal or other old Arab characters. Interesting that he's delivering poetry about a modern situation in this form
	9:39pm Listener Gregory: Gary, do you know what instrument is accompanying Dhib (bowed string instrument, sounds like one string).
	9:39pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:38 Oh, haha, no worries. I saw a very strange film recently about these two journalists on their way to see maybe Wadih al-Safi or someone at Baalbek
	9:40pm Gary: ↳ Listener Gregory @9:39 Gregory, see Tim's comment right above yours!
	9:41pm headcleaner: ↳ Dean @9:37 I'm with Dean on this perspective. And that's what keeps my stomach in a perpetual state of churn, in regard to what seems far too likely to happen. Unless vastly more people start chilling out + listening to programs like this one (instead of snorting all those garbage news feeds they seem addicted to), that is.
	9:41pm slugluv1313: ↳ headcleaner @9:30 there is Nouri Brothers! as Gary mentioned -- also on Main Street -- but i recall another shopping center too nouribrothers.com...
	9:42pm tim abdellah: ↳ Gary @9:40 Here's a video of this particular reciter - I didn't realize these rababs could be so big! www.youtube.com...
	9:42pm mackeral: ↳ headcleaner @9:41 and in the meantime, let's all have some red lentil soup!
	9:43pm Gary: Omar, if you're still here, I found some Kamilya Jubran I'm about to queue up after this track for ya
	9:44pm slugluv1313: ↳ headcleaner @9:36 now i am craving the red lentil soup from Toros!
	9:44pm Gary: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:44 Nothing better than Turkish lentil soup, gotta say
	9:46pm mackeral: ↳ Song: "Ya Halali" by "Sabreen" vocalist Kamilya Jubran is out of this world
	9:47pm Gary: Mackeral!
	9:47pm Omar Quteineh: Thank you, Gary. Yeah, I'm here.. always here.
	9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:31 what i was referring to was the way geo political events are keeping climate events like collapse of ice shelf out of consciousness seems that there's not enough mental space
	9:48pm Listener Gregory: Thanks, Gary and Tim. If it’s a single string, I might be able to manage it.
	9:48pm coelacanth∅: i miss the red lentil soup from a turkish restaurant that used to be here in town. aside from delicious it would be about the only thing on the menu that i could afford now.
	9:49pm mackeral: ↳ Gary @9:47 late to the party. adding a calendar reminder!
	9:49pm Gary: ↳ Omar Quteineh @9:47 Can't believe you're still awake, it's almost 5:00 am there, haha
	9:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:48 that and the baklava, which was also strangely affordable -and delicious
