WFMU: Currents with Brian D: Playlist from November 11, 2023

Listener comments!
	6:01am TDK60: Good morning, Brian.
	⚡ 6:01am tom tom the pipers son: good morning brian, people...
	6:05am Brian D: Good morning all!
	⚡ 6:09am Michael of Cologne: Noonday greetings Brian & all from Cologne in 11/11 Karneval intoxication.
	⚡ 6:12am tom tom the pipers son: among the things that happened this week, the palestinian woman that i talked with in my supermarket has gone religiously conservative and is no longer talking to me. and a former professor, who when i mentioned occupation, said 'which occupation?' 'all i see are jew haters' and i learned that he lost 97 percent of his famiy in holocaust...
	6:14am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:12 All I can say in response to all that is, "Sigh."
	6:15am StringOFperils: Hello from Toronto....where I should not really be awake. But at least I'm privileged to wake up to another day; I need to always remember that
	⚡ 6:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:12 it's a little like geo political second hand smoke...
	6:16am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @6:15 We all do. Good morning, String. Hope all is well in TO.
	6:18am TDK60: There is a lot of slander going around in the media and elsewhere, that people who protest in favor of Palestinian rights are anti-semitic. It's still a lie. It's trying to change the attention away from Israel's brutal assault and apartheid.
	6:25am StringOFperils: ↳ TDK60 @6:18 That peculiar Israeli bias (or at least Likud party bias) precedes today's fiasco. Not infrequent to have seen any criticism of its annexation and occupation of adjacent land framed in that way. Any criticism of the ways people have been treated by the military, at checkpoints.Anything pro-Palestinian at all. It frustrates rational discussion...and increasingly seems like a smokescreen covering something else.
	⚡ 6:26am tom tom the pipers son: something about weyes blood's voice i don't trust... there's the thing that persian carpets have one wrong stitch so they're not perfect, with weyes blood i feel there's no missed stitch...
	6:27am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning!
	⚡ 6:30am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @6:14 Yes, "Sigh", and take a step back. There are only ever lulls in the violence and atrocities of our human history. Not to say that it is 'human nature', but rather that we do not know who we are.
	6:30am Doug in MP: Good morning. Double-jabbed last night and feeling ok so far
	⚡ 6:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Long Wait--Movements I and II" by "Colleen" liked that...
	6:32am Juli: 🩵🩵🩵🩵
	6:32am Brian D: ↳ Doug in MP @6:30 Good to hear, Doug. I felt a little sluggish for a few hours myself.
	6:32am Juli: Silly
	⚡ 6:33am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:30 And do not even seriously ask.
	6:34am Juli: I’ve been up since 3 watching Instagram stories about all kinds of things lol I have a head cold so I could t sleep Took a three am shower One I am blasting music God bless the weekend
	6:35am Juli: I love teaching & think we should all work for periods of our life:::if I were rich I would still run a non profit
	6:35am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @6:18 It's really hard to talk about all the nuances of this situation in comments, and I don't think we should on this beautiful morning (day here in Israel).I don't think the Israeli policies in the Western bank are right. Still, apartheid is certainly inapplicable to relations with other country, which is Palestine. Seeing that word used I kinda feel that maybe you don't see many nuances here. Although I agree that slandering of protesters as antisemitic is not wise
	6:36am Juli: Love in the world starts w the self
	6:36am StringOFperils: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:33 Tom Waits answered that this way:"We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness. We are monkeys with money and guns."
	6:37am Juli: Leading by example
	⚡ 6:38am Peter from Saranac Lake NY formerly Boonton NJ: Good morning Brian and newshounds.
	⚡ 6:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @6:35 but how can you refer to palestine as another 'country' when it has no self determination
	6:40am radioronan: Good morning Brian & all!
	6:41am rich in angleton: good morning Brian!! good morning everyone!
	6:42am TDK60: ↳ vanya haifa @6:35 Good morning vanya. I think we should talk about it. On the WFMU chat board, I follow the DJ's preference. I don't think Brian minds us talking about such on this sort of show. I will also add that I am angry about the continued militarism and the chaos and destruction spread by the US military system; "my" government.
	6:42am the Hurston moor-elf: Oh man, Angelo : ( I saw him a couple of dozen times with the cult Bristol band Blue Aeroplanes, was very happy to see him do so well with Massive Attack. RIP
	6:42am StringOFperils: ↳ vanya haifa @6:35 Conducting an industrialized extermination on such a nice morning isn't what I'd call 'wise' either. Something has gone very wrong.
	6:44am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @6:36 My novelist friend calls us "chimps" but same diff.
	6:45am TDK60: ↳ vanya haifa @6:35 Oh! And I am willing to talk about all the nuances or complexities of the situation. I don't deny them.
	6:46am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:42 As long as we remain kind, I think discussion is good. We won't solve th problem here, but we may make ourselves feel better and increase understanding.
	6:46am Brian D: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @6:42 Yes. Terrible. 62 I believe. Far too young.
	6:47am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @6:42 Well, we have thousands of armed men in Gaza, who just broke through the border and tortured 1400 of Israeli citizens. This is brutal assault. And we have several countries around, who support them. We are very grateful to America for sending those ships to help us. So, I kinda hope that you don't dp much effort of preventing America from doing this. I'n in Haifa so so far, being far from Gaza, we are onlly sporadically bombed. My friends in Tel-Aviv go to bomb shelters a couple times a day. So, yeah, grateful for the American help
	6:48am vanya haifa: ↳ Brian D @6:46 yeah
	6:48am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @6:45 alright let's try
	6:48am TDK60: Good day Hurston moor-elf! I didn't know the Blue Aeroplanes were from way out west.
	⚡ 6:51am tom tom the pipers son: had a thought that geo political events are mimicking climate events and that the inability/refusal to deal with climate crisis on the part of nations is bubbling up a return of the repressed
	⚡ 6:51am Michael of Cologne: ↳ StringOFperils @6:36 A thoughtful response from you and Tom Waits, who says what we are as a species of animal. But who we are, or could be, could be cast as something completely different. We have not yet even learned to distinguish between what and who.
	6:54am the Hurston moor-elf: Hi TDK! Yeah, the 'Planes were the embodiment of Bristol culture back in the last 80s. Such a cool band. And Angelo was the coolest.
	6:55am Juli: Yes humans are animals but also have incredible power if unlocked
	6:58am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:51 I think that's true. We're looking at images of the drought-ravaged Middle East. Is it a coincidence that there is conflict there?
	⚡ 7:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:39 referring to palestine as another 'country' when israel is responsible for lack of sovereignty is a rationalization
	7:01am TDK60: ↳ vanya haifa @6:47 Vanya - Yes. I don't deny the brutality of the Hamas attack. I condemn it. I do think that sending US ships to the Mediterranean Sea is odd. As, the Israeli government is already well-armed, from infantry to missiles. And the violence being unleashed upon Palestinians is also a war-crime.
	7:03am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	7:03am Barbie: Hey Brian! Looking forward to your interview. Another great feature of the magic factory
	7:03am dale: morning. re:nick cave, he's in western new york recording. his wife posted an instagram of her in a denny's. wife thinks it was dunkirk ny by the street and buildings she recognizes out the window and he's possibly recording at dave fridmann's.... more that you wanted to know or give a hoot about i'm sure...
	⚡ 7:04am tom tom the pipers son: ny times featuring pita bread recipe in cooking section...odd timing, doncha think?
	7:04am Brian D: Hi Fred! Hi Barbie! Hope you find the interview interesting.
	7:05am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:03 Not at all! When we saw him speak a few weeks back, he mentioned they would be recording soon.
	7:05am StringOFperils: The Unites States has plowed over 264 billion dollars into Israel over time. It's an investment in geo-political power and access to oil to ensure the success and expansion of private corporations' concerns in the world . The U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford is floated there to protect those investments.
	7:08am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone listening in...
	⚡ 7:08am tom tom the pipers son: nice pavement song
	7:09am Juli: If we buy the right things and love each other we have a fighting chance
	7:09am Juli: I bought a mushrooms extract THC pen Is nice
	7:10am Juli: But the right products Supper the right ppl
	7:11am fred: Odd bedfellows department: the French National Rally (far-right, obviously) will join a march against antisemitism, which is rich. Then again, they hate Arabs even more than they hate Jews
	7:11am Juli: Support Lol Sorry I am sick
	7:12am Juli: Buy the correct produvts
	7:13am fred: ↳ Juli @7:11 I was wondering whether "supper the right" was a variant of "eat the rich"
	7:14am Robm: hello fellow current listeners
	⚡ 7:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:13 ha!
	7:15am ?: 65 years since my birth & the U.S. has been involved in a war somewhere in the world.. Will it ever end? No, I don't think so.
	7:16am StringOFperils: ↳ fred @7:13 They're certainly free-range. Probably a bad after-taste....maybe not...hmmm....lots of yummy fat...I dunno, Fred
	7:18am Robm: hey fellow listeners just wondering, if trump gets elected again, i wonder if there is a way for him or his henchmen to prevent us from listening to international broadcasting like the bbc or the cbc, just wanted to throw it out there
	7:18am ?: Many years ago I said to anyone who will listen "the next wars will be over water" Hold on..it's coming
	7:18am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @7:01 Israeli army is unprecendentally cautious to civilians. It should be for two reasons - no-one wants to kill civilians, especially people like you and me who are the soldiers, also the world watches. It issues numerous warnings to civilians to leave the areas of military action. SMS, fliers. I does all it can - nothing that any army did. It's firsthand a war crime to hide behind civilians, like Hamas does for all these years. And Hamas should be destroyed. It's the war. It's natural to simpathyze with dying Palestinian civilians, but the thing is that no-one offers any other solution. It "just stop, we don't wanna see this". If Israel didn't have super-expensive anti-missile system, Israeli homes would be destroyed and people died throughout the year, because Hams just shoots these rockets, did before 7.10, conyinues much more frequently now - no-one caes anymore. Every Israeli has an app, which beeps when there's a rocket launched in his direction. It's not Israel fault being stronger and richer. It's attitudes still are way more humane thfn Hamas - which is elected governmenent in Gaza, btw
	7:19am Robm: hi juli
	7:20am Doug in MP: ↳ vanya haifa @7:18 This is demonstrably untrue
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @7:18 the warnings that israel is giving palestinians has been described as a pervese 'head start' before they kill them
	⚡ 7:22am Heidee: Journalism can never be silent. Its virtue and its burden. Hi all!
	7:23am Robm: ↳ Heidee @7:22 heidee long time no see
	7:24am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:22 Not a very helpful statement. Depends on who describes them that way
	7:25am vanya haifa: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:22 "Has been described" is not an argument. Do you raelly think that Israel just wants to kill civilians?
	7:25am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @7:22 Heidee! Great to "see" you.
	7:25am Fredericks: ↳ StringOFperils @6:36 Where did he say that?
	7:25am Doug in MP: BBC (12 hours ago) Macron calls on Israel to stop killing Gaza's women and babies
	7:26am Robm: ↳ vanya haifa @7:25 who knows maybe they want too, and let god sort them out
	⚡ 7:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @7:25 israeli government has described civilians in a dehumanized way re: animals
	7:28am vanya haifa: ↳ Robm @7:26 I don't think so. It's irrational in the first place, considering the world watches, and it challenges world's support for Israel. Not mentioning just being humane.
	7:29am fred: ↳ vanya haifa @7:18 Hamas won a plurality in 2006 against the very corrupt Fatah, and have never help elections since. So I think calling them "elected government" is a misleading way to blame people who have no say
	⚡ 7:29am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @7:25 Hi Brian! It this you interviewing?
	7:29am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:44 Monkeys have tails.
	⚡ 7:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:24 yeah i don't remember what the source was though it was someone in gaza
	⚡ 7:29am Heidee: ↳ Robm @7:23 Hi Robm! How's things?
	7:30am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @7:29 Yes. Pre-recorded. It's hard to get people in here at 6 am on Saturdays.
	7:30am fred: ↳ fred @7:29 held not help
	⚡ 7:30am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @7:30 Really good interview questions.
	7:31am Robm: ↳ Heidee @7:29 ohh pretty good ate breakfast and listening to this wonderful station @Brian yeah people are still asleep:)
	7:31am vanya haifa: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:27 Somebody in the governement could have said something angry, that sure is wrong. Gaza governement is Hamas who base their ideology on eradicating Israel as a state
	7:32am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:30 Though easier than at 3 am on Sundays (at least getting the DJ there should be easier)
	7:32am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:32 Very true, and yes it is.
	7:32am Robm: ↳ Doug in MP @7:25 doug listening a lot to the BBCWS lately, and i stay away from cable news
	7:33am Doug in MP: ↳ Robm @7:32 I stick to text-based news. I don't have time to listen to the talking heads on cable
	⚡ 7:34am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @7:31 that's not the same with present israeli government regarding palestinians with these kahane-ists in the israeli government?
	7:35am vanya haifa: ↳ fred @7:29 That is true. Anywy they were elected in the first place. In short - what is your solution? jHamas is invincible, because it hides behind civilians, wipe your tears, build a better wall, and Hamas keeps abusing power in Gaza?
	7:35am TDK60: ↳ vanya haifa @7:31 Vanya. I have read about more than one Israeli government official mouthing racist and/or genocidal ideas; not just angry.
	7:35am Robm: fellow listeners i think we better lower the temperature on here before we all get thrown off the chat @Doug the guardian right, i have bbc sounds thats how i listen too bbcws
	7:36am vanya haifa: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:34 I didn't understand that. Anyway I'm not happy with current Israeli governement either
	7:38am Brian D: ↳ vanya haifa @7:36 Vanya, you're obviously not alone in that regard. I have an Israeli friend who hates the current government and takes pains to emphasize it doesn't speak for her or her family.
	7:40am Billybob: ↳ vanya haifa @7:31 With you on all this, Vanya. I saw what happened on 10/7. Quite honestly, I don't quite understand all the protests in the US coming from people that Palestinians would do away with. Most preposterous is the support for Hamas from gay people. And I stress "Hamas" because I haven't seen much anti-Hamas proclamations in all these protests.
	⚡ 7:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @7:36 meir kahane was an extremist, to put it mildly, who' s organization was on israel's terrorist list, members of which are in israel's gv't now
	7:41am Juli: ↳ fred @7:13 Only in hindsight lol
	7:42am Juli: Hi RobM
	7:42am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @7:35 Have you read about Hamas not just mouthing ideas, but have their ideology based on eradicating a neighbouring country? I don't much like current Israeli governement either. Still, comparing governements which do you prefer Hamas or Netanyahu? Really the same to you?
	7:43am vanya haifa: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:40 Yeah, this totally sucks
	7:44am Robm: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:40 i don’t think mier kahane is alive right now
	7:44am fred: ↳ vanya haifa @7:35 I agree with you that the lack of a vision for the future is a big problem, which unfortunately serves those in power very well to remain in power. I remember a more hopeful time, I think few regular people on either side want these horrors
	7:44am ?: Unless you live in the warring areas, your opinion is meaningless, whichever way you care to voice it. Armchair quarterbacking. Bring back Bad Animals to this time slot...We can get 24/7 coverage of the war almost anywhere.
	7:45am TDK60: Good interview Brian. Thanks. Interesting outfit, Covering Climate Now.
	7:46am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:45 Yes, they are. For more information: coveringclimatenow.org
	7:46am TDK60: ↳ vanya haifa @7:42 Vanya, I don't think Hamas and the Israeli government are the same. I do think both are reactionary, but in different ways. Nuances.
	7:47am fred: ↳ Song: "20Twenties: The Eve of Destruction" by "Daily Mav... Has anyone heard Eve of Sunshine by People Like Us?
	7:48am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @7:46 thanks
	7:49am dale: ↳ @7:44 i'm sure you can get 24/7 animal songs as well if you just look for it.
	7:49am Robm: @brian and trying to keep the temperature down
	7:49am Bort Simpson: Treat my shorts!
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:47 I have. I actually thought about playing that today.
	⚡ 7:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:44 omer bartov on democracy now, proposing an alternative to one state or two state proposals, some king of confederacy and a return to '67 borders
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:51 Unfortunately, that would entail more displacement. There is no easy solution here... obviously.
	⚡ 7:52am tom tom the pipers son: kind
	7:53am StringOFperils: Israel's current actions and the currently estiimated 10,000 retaliatory deaths in Palestine throws a battleship full of gasoline on the fire. Likud has to know this, and therefore appears to be playing an endgame in which every last potential for Hamas to go on existing must be atomized. Completely annihilated. Everyone. And everything. Surely Likud knows this exacerbates the blood resentment of an already terrible invasion and annexation a thousand-fold. What do you suppose is its ultimate desire is? A 'holy' land? God's green acre? Built on skulls? This is resistance to an invasion. And it has become literally insane, driven to nauseating savagery it by its oppressors. Israel has created a Frankenstein. This isn't going to end well for anyone, and will probably never end now.
	⚡ 7:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:52 i think there was a work around on that, not sure
	7:53am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Echolocation" by "Mendoza, Hoff, Revels" Had to sign in to give this a star.
	7:55am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @7:53 Worth it, though, right?
	⚡ 7:55am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fredericks @7:53 agree, and this has gotten a fair amount of fmu luv, mendoza esp great
	7:56am ?: ↳ dale @7:49 I can also stop my monetary support to this station & put it elsewhere
	7:56am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.
	7:58am dale: ↳ Song: "Maggot Brain" by "Funkadelic" oooh, radio safe edit on the poem's end. well done.
	7:58am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Maggot Brain" by "Funkadelic" YES.
	⚡ 7:58am tom tom the pipers son: or drown in my own shit...eff the fcc
	7:58am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:58 I made it! Good to know.
	7:58am dale: ↳ @7:56 yes. yes you can.
	7:59am Billybob: ↳ StringOFperils @7:53 In war, people die. Remember, if 10/7 hadn't happened, neither would have Israel's response.
	8:00am Robm: ↳ @7:56 why don’t you put your name not a question mark
	8:00am ?: ↳ dale @7:58 All I meant by what I said about Currents, which is a fine show, is it was better served in it's old time slot.
	8:01am davefromtoronto: ↳ Robm @8:00 they haven't found themselves yet
	8:01am dday: ↳ Robm @8:00 OK Rob. It's ME. Does that change anything? and dave..I was never lost
	8:01am Robm: ↳ davefromtoronto @8:01 ha ha ha
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Billybob @7:59 this all began on oct. 7th? there's not some larger context?
	8:02am Robm: ↳ dday @8:01 yeah it does
	8:02am dday: ↳ Robm @8:02 Good. It's nice to see how the open minds of WFMU really operate
	⚡ 8:03am herb.nyc: Hola. Cute, Brian does the ID early. Not like us in USandA and around the world, who like to wait and wait and wait UNTIL action is required. ie, we hafta undo climate change now. I heard the tail end of interview, will try and listen later. Thx
	8:03am dale: ↳ @8:00 i enjoyed bad animals too. i never heard this show before but enjoy it as well.
	8:04am Robm: ↳ dday @8:02 go argue with someone else going back to sleep
	⚡ 8:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Billybob @7:59 and the death toll, sort of one sided i'd say, and it always is in conflicts between israel/palestine
	8:05am JB: ↳ Song: "Maggot Brain" by "Funkadelic" #JerseyStrong. Royalty
	8:05am dday: ↳ dale @8:03 Exactly dale. Early A.M. Sat after being beat over the head all week with "the news" it was nice to have a few hours of pleasant radio. BTW Brian, your show is great. I was not being negative towards you.
	8:06am davefromtoronto: ↳ dday @8:01 just trying to lighten the mood...
	8:06am TDK60: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 Good morning tom tom. Of course there's a larger historical context. And the governments of the UK and US are part of that context.
	⚡ 8:06am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian: wish you could have left in 'and drown in my own shit' which seems pretty resonant now
	8:07am PKNY: ↳ JB @8:05 Funkadelic and WFMU, Jersey's version of peanut butter and chocolate
	⚡ 8:07am Heidee: ↳ JB @8:05 Hi JB 👋
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ dday @8:05 I didn't take it that way, Dale. I like Bad Animals, too. They wanted to move, for the record.
	⚡ 8:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @8:06 hi tdk...
	8:08am fred: ↳ PKNY @8:07 It is a WFMU bathroom break classic
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:06 So do I but, you know...
	8:08am dday: ↳ davefromtoronto @8:06 No sweat dave. I have seen the "pile on" mentality on these boards before & find it disturbing. It's why I don't engage in any social media except here because mostly it's different. Occasionally I don't sign in only when I don't think I'll be hanging around...things to do.
	8:09am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:08 I took mine earlier.
	8:09am dday: ↳ Brian D @8:08 I had that feeling. Everybody needs change from time to time. carry on sir :)
	⚡ 8:09am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dday @8:08 i think pile on was avoided
	8:09am Billybob: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 Yes, there is a larger context. Nevertheless, these 10,000 (or however many) deaths wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for, not just the quantity, but the brutality, of the slaughter perp'd by Hamas on 10/7.
	8:10am vanya haifa: ↳ StringOFperils @7:53 what is your solution? how should a country react to a murderous breach of it's border. also there is no annexation of Gaza. Gaza has been given back to Palestinians, after being captured in the war (like all countries territories in the world before that, and it;s never diputed). it has been given back, which i guess nobody has ever done. in exchange for promise of peace, which was not fulfilled. i'm sorry i really have to finish with this, i'm getting very upset, because this station has been like the safe spot for me online. gotta get stoned and try to do something practical. ...Nobody offers a solution. Everybody is rightfully condemning the death of civilians. But it's the war. Open war from the side of Hamas. What can a country do in the war against it? Can you imagine any other country having to deal with what Israel has to? It hasn't been handled the best way by Israel. But where is the cry "Egypt, accept Palestinian refugees" etc? Israel has to show extreme mercy to the people, who didnot accept giving part of the land to Jews on the first place, and lost in the war that came after that - I guess you know the history of how it started
	8:10am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @8:06 I note the large pro-Palestine march in London today. (Under threat from rightists and media slander.)
	8:10am JB: ↳ Heidee @8:07 Howdy Heidee, nice to see you.
	⚡ 8:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Billybob @8:09 sounds like you're advocating collective punishment to me.
	8:13am fred: ↳ vanya haifa @8:10 Getting stoned can be practical. Have as much of a good day as you can in these times. I think you'll always be welcome here, at least I hope so
	8:13am TDK60: I recall well that reactionary real estate guy calling for the execution of the innocent "Central Park 5." Three decades ago.
	8:13am StringOFperils: ↳ vanya haifa @8:10 I, of course, have no solution to the great problems of mankind, vanya. There are too many people on this planet, and resources are strained. Politicians everywhere mislead us. Media confuse us. We confuse ourselves. I suppose you can guess that I am passionate about this, and despairing in lieu of knowing what to do. God help you. And God help us all. And if that's too clerical, well,, try to make the best of your life on your own. What a mess.
	8:14am Robm: ↳ dday @8:09 dday i apologize for being an asshole too you, it was not polite of me
	8:14am Gary K: Omg you are killing it this morning! Keep it going Mr. DJ.
	8:14am Billybob: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:04 Are you saying it should be proportionate? I guess we'd have to know how many women were raped, families burned alive and people forced to watch their loved ones executed in order for Israel to respond in kind.
	8:14am Brian D: ↳ vanya haifa @8:10 Wishing you peace and safety, Vanya. Appreciate your perspective today.
	8:14am fred: ↳ TDK60 @8:13 Well it's not like he was president, just a rich blowhard
	8:14am dday: ↳ TDK60 @8:13 "reactionary real estate guy" hee hee ..Nice
	8:15am dday: ↳ Robm @8:14 I did not take it that way at all Rob . It's all good :)
	8:16am Robm: ↳ dday @8:15 thanks try not to get into political bullshit on here
	8:17am vanya haifa: ↳ Brian D @8:14 thank you
	8:17am vanya haifa: ↳ StringOFperils @8:13 thank you
	8:17am WSJ: The Pixies make a welcome appearance
	8:18am TDK60: ↳ dday @8:14 Morning dday. Well, I /try/ to avoid mentioning the name of the guy as much as can. Ha!
	8:18am PaulRobeson1923: This Monday’s going to happen
	8:18am PaulRobeson1923: Morninggggggggggggggg
	8:19am bobob Plasticland: 11/ 11 and he went to Heaven
	8:19am dday: ↳ TDK60 @8:18 Same here. I go so far as to change the tv channel if his face appears. I give him NO audience. He screwed a boss I used to work for years ago, so I have a personal dislike for him.
	⚡ 8:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Billybob @8:14 there's a history of the numbers being disproportionate
	8:20am PaulRobeson1923: The Dead Kennedys? Did somthing happen to the Kennedys?
	8:21am fred: ↳ TDK60 @8:18 Didn't Glen Jones work on some courtroom drama at some point? Usually the recurring character is the judge, but you guys have a new one with a twist on that premise
	⚡ 8:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @8:17 i am with that sentiment, enjoy your blunt
	8:22am fred: ↳ Song: "Exhuming McCarthy" by "REM" Can't you leave poor Kevin alone? He was just buried, sheesh
	8:22am Billybob: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:19 What's with this "proportionate" stuff? Why, in a war, would you expect a tie score?
	⚡ 8:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:21 i think it was court tv
	8:23am dday: ↳ fred @8:21 Jones worked at Court TV, which brings you into the courtrooms "live" during hearings on all sorts of things. I watch it as it's interesting to see how the real nuts & bolts of a court case (pretty boring actually) is vs. the tv Law & Order version.
	⚡ 8:23am Will thee Sound Guy: I've been listening, but still getting up... Hi Brian D and all!!!
	8:23am WSJ: Music you can dance to on a Saturday morning. Bravo Brian D
	⚡ 8:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Billybob @8:22 just that there's a lot more death on one side
	8:25am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Up From The Skies" by "Jimi Hendrix Experience" I forgot to say I think "Up From The Skies" is brilliant, as is the whole darn innovative album. And it was a fine feat of studio engineering for the time.
	8:25am dday: Ha ha. I mentioned his starring role in the 50's horror classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers (see 1:00 mark) www.youtube.com...
	8:26am dday: ↳ dday @8:25 That's for you fred :)
	8:26am PaulRobeson1923: Wait hold on. Did happened to the Kennedys?
	8:26am PKNY: Any Sabbath song is NEVER the wrong song
	8:26am StringOFperils: Ha ha. Relax Brian
	8:27am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @8:26 Oh gosh, please don’t end the show! Hold On. Did something happen?
	8:28am WSJ: No worries Brian D. Bot-free radio ain’t perfect but that’s the charm. Embrace the glitches
	8:28am Brian D: ↳ PKNY @8:26 Yeah, just playing them out of the intended order.
	8:28am davefromtoronto: man no one can out-metal Black Sabbath
	8:29am PaulRobeson1923: Did something happen to the Kennedys?
	⚡ 8:29am Peter from Saranac Lake NY formerly Boonton NJ: ↳ PKNY @8:26 Word. Behind the Wall of Sleep is still fresh after all these years.
	⚡ 8:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:28 you're no weyes blood of the turntables, imho...;)
	8:30am Billybob: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:23 And there may be a lot more. But that's within Hamas' control. All they have to do is surrender. Alternatively, they can fight the war away from civilian populations.
	8:30am dday: Both Sleeps ..Great Songs!!!
	8:31am WSJ: Happy Birthday Jeannie
	8:31am PaulRobeson1923: Oh please, please! Did something happen to the Kennedys?
	8:32am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:30 I'm not wise by any measure.
	8:32am fred: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @8:31 It was the vaccines
	8:33am PKNY: ↳ Song: "Behind the Wall of Sleep" by "Smithereens" Add another name to the Jersey's finest list. And since Pat Dinizio was present went Sabbath played Union Catholic HS, this had to be an intentional song title borrow.
	8:33am davefromtoronto: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @8:31 they're playing "downhill ski-football" in heaven
	8:33am Brian D: ↳ dday @8:30 Had intended to play both, just not in that order.
	⚡ 8:34am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:32 idk did you see my previous comment about weyes blood being too perfect...
	8:35am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ fred @8:32 Oh GOSH
	8:36am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:34 I did. I've never been accused of being too perfect.
	8:37am Mike Sin: Cruising around, listening in the car while running errands — show sounds great!
	8:37am JB: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @8:31 They're dead
	8:38am ?: Egypt and Jordan should free the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and let them be citizens in real countries. There are already lots of Muslim countries but there is only one Jewish country in a world with lots of Jew haters. So the one Jewish country needs to protect its citizens. Egypt and Jordan and many other middle eastern countries already have kicked out almost every Jew living in their countries.
	8:39am Brian D: ↳ Mike Sin @8:37 High praise from you, sir. Thank you.
	8:39am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ JB @8:37 Mornin’ JB But T’why
	8:39am Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @8:20 Most of Florida is part of Dixie. Just not my part.
	8:40am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:34 I saw her 15+ years ago, when she spelled it Weyes Bluhd. It was very different, her evolution has been interesting (though not in a good direction for me), good for her that she has more success now. Same thing with US Girls
	⚡ 8:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Billybob @8:30 the idea of eradicating hamas seems flawed like in other guerilla wars, otoh i don't condone what they stand for and am skeptical if they would go away if palestine was granted a state
	8:41am JB: ↳ Mike Sin @8:37 Hey I've been listening to the Ranking Full Stop archives since I can't listen live. Brief pause now but I'm trying to get in a show each week. One of my favorites
	8:41am McGroovey: Hey, I'm awake! Missed the interview, though ...
	8:42am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Fredericks @8:39 Good morning, Mr.Fredericks. www.discogs.com...
	8:42am Brian D: ↳ McGroovey @8:41 Good morning, McGroovey.
	8:42am JB: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @8:39 They're the Dead Kennedys, not the Surviving Kennedys (humor font)
	8:42am Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @8:31 They broke up because of Jello, Paul R..
	8:43am dday: ↳ Song: "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" by "Bryan Ferry" Oh yeah
	⚡ 8:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:40 ah, that sounds good, when her most recent album was released i heard it being played as muzak shortly afterwards. 'that boy is mine' is a favorite of mine
	8:44am davefromtoronto: Brian please don't play "Two Tribes" lol
	8:44am fred: ↳ ? @8:38 Those Muslim countries don't want them! They're widely seen as destitute parasites and seen as a threat by the autocrats in charge (understandable after what happened with the PLO)
	8:44am JB: ↳ vanya haifa @8:17 Be safe. You are 100% supported.
	8:45am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" by "Bryan Ferry" What's the b-side? I know I could go look it up, but
	8:45am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ JB @8:42 Oh GOSH
	8:46am Brian D: ↳ McGroovey @8:45 2HB
	⚡ 8:46am herb.nyc: Sorry for not following the flow of the comments board Yest nytimes A section has no articles on climate change. But the e-cars one is related, tho money and natural resources and china are main issues, not the need to save the earth (& us; wait, mark TECHTONIC hurst is telling us of the major faults of solar panels. E-cars have similar. Or are we being duped by the republicans?)
	8:46am Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @8:42 Dippermouth Blues?
	8:47am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Fredericks @8:46 Ouchie
	8:48am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:43 Fist time I saw US Girls was in the basement of a bar, a huge amount of reverb on her voice, pretty much a noise show (loved it) I have a CDR somewhere, probably unplayable by now
	8:48am TDK60: ↳ Song: "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" by "Bryan Ferry" I usually avoid criticizing songs on the WFMU boards. But, let me try to politely put it this way: I prefer Bob's version of "Rain"!
	⚡ 8:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:48 aw, that sounds great...
	8:51am Billybob: ↳ ? @8:38 Agreed. And all that makes me wonder why all the anti-Israel protest. It starts to feel more like a revolt against Western ideology with all its pesky free speech, freedom of religion, women's rights, etc. This is why I think the student protestors are being duped into thinking support for Palestine is about justice.
	8:52am dday: ↳ Brian D @8:46 Interesting a Dylan cover on A side & a Humphrey Bogart tribute on side B
	⚡ 8:54am tom tom the pipers son: thanks, brian, have a good one...
	8:54am Brian D: ↳ dday @8:52 There's a metaphor there.
	8:55am PaulRobeson1923: www.discogs.com...
	8:55am Brian D: Thank you all for joining me today -- and for keeping the comments on some tough issues civil. Be safe and have a great week.
	8:55am morphe': Thanks BD and all !!! Been listening but working on a time sensitive doc .....
	8:55am dday: ↳ Brian D @8:54 I've loved Ferry & Roxy since their first LP. I have yet to listen to Ferry's "Dylanesque" LP. He is a huge Dylan fan
	8:56am TDK60: ↳ Billybob @8:51 Good day Billy Bob. I think the protests are mostly against destruction and the dispossession of a people. Now, I'm off to an art exhibit of Palestine liberation posters. Thanks for the conversation folks. Thanks for the show, Brian!
	8:56am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:50 I remember she did a beautifully mangled Springsteen cover, I'm not sure what the song was now
	8:56am davefromtoronto: thanks Brian - peace out everybody!
	8:56am rich in angleton: thanks Brian!
	8:56am Bort Simpson: Brian I thank you
	8:57am StringOFperils: Pesky free speech. Like a bad smell in a world of silent dutiful order. All that perfect glistening steel reflecting my face in some distorted way. I feel high as a kite.
	⚡ 8:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:56 her treated voice on 'this boy....' is haunting
	8:59am fred: Thanks Brian!
	9:00am McGroovey: Hey, the Embarrassment movie at Monty Hall tomorrow night is canceled. Not right tickets sold. I wanted to see it!
	9:00am StringOFperils: Thanks, Brian! Have a good week. Best wishes to all.
	⚡ 9:02am Heidee: Thank you DJ Brian, great show.

Listener comments!
	6:01am TDK60: Good morning, Brian.
	⚡ 6:01am tom tom the pipers son: good morning brian, people...
	6:05am Brian D: Good morning all!
	⚡ 6:09am Michael of Cologne: Noonday greetings Brian & all from Cologne in 11/11 Karneval intoxication.
	⚡ 6:12am tom tom the pipers son: among the things that happened this week, the palestinian woman that i talked with in my supermarket has gone religiously conservative and is no longer talking to me. and a former professor, who when i mentioned occupation, said 'which occupation?' 'all i see are jew haters' and i learned that he lost 97 percent of his famiy in holocaust...
	6:14am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:12 All I can say in response to all that is, "Sigh."
	6:15am StringOFperils: Hello from Toronto....where I should not really be awake. But at least I'm privileged to wake up to another day; I need to always remember that
	⚡ 6:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:12 it's a little like geo political second hand smoke...
	6:16am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @6:15 We all do. Good morning, String. Hope all is well in TO.
	6:18am TDK60: There is a lot of slander going around in the media and elsewhere, that people who protest in favor of Palestinian rights are anti-semitic. It's still a lie. It's trying to change the attention away from Israel's brutal assault and apartheid.
	6:25am StringOFperils: ↳ TDK60 @6:18 That peculiar Israeli bias (or at least Likud party bias) precedes today's fiasco. Not infrequent to have seen any criticism of its annexation and occupation of adjacent land framed in that way. Any criticism of the ways people have been treated by the military, at checkpoints.Anything pro-Palestinian at all. It frustrates rational discussion...and increasingly seems like a smokescreen covering something else.
	⚡ 6:26am tom tom the pipers son: something about weyes blood's voice i don't trust... there's the thing that persian carpets have one wrong stitch so they're not perfect, with weyes blood i feel there's no missed stitch...
	6:27am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning!
	⚡ 6:30am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @6:14 Yes, "Sigh", and take a step back. There are only ever lulls in the violence and atrocities of our human history. Not to say that it is 'human nature', but rather that we do not know who we are.
	6:30am Doug in MP: Good morning. Double-jabbed last night and feeling ok so far
	⚡ 6:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Long Wait--Movements I and II" by "Colleen" liked that...
	6:32am Juli: 🩵🩵🩵🩵
	6:32am Brian D: ↳ Doug in MP @6:30 Good to hear, Doug. I felt a little sluggish for a few hours myself.
	6:32am Juli: Silly
	⚡ 6:33am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:30 And do not even seriously ask.
	6:34am Juli: I’ve been up since 3 watching Instagram stories about all kinds of things lol I have a head cold so I could t sleep Took a three am shower One I am blasting music God bless the weekend
	6:35am Juli: I love teaching & think we should all work for periods of our life:::if I were rich I would still run a non profit
	6:35am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @6:18 It's really hard to talk about all the nuances of this situation in comments, and I don't think we should on this beautiful morning (day here in Israel).I don't think the Israeli policies in the Western bank are right. Still, apartheid is certainly inapplicable to relations with other country, which is Palestine. Seeing that word used I kinda feel that maybe you don't see many nuances here. Although I agree that slandering of protesters as antisemitic is not wise
	6:36am Juli: Love in the world starts w the self
	6:36am StringOFperils: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:33 Tom Waits answered that this way:"We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness. We are monkeys with money and guns."
	6:37am Juli: Leading by example
	⚡ 6:38am Peter from Saranac Lake NY formerly Boonton NJ: Good morning Brian and newshounds.
	⚡ 6:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @6:35 but how can you refer to palestine as another 'country' when it has no self determination
	6:40am radioronan: Good morning Brian & all!
	6:41am rich in angleton: good morning Brian!! good morning everyone!
	6:42am TDK60: ↳ vanya haifa @6:35 Good morning vanya. I think we should talk about it. On the WFMU chat board, I follow the DJ's preference. I don't think Brian minds us talking about such on this sort of show. I will also add that I am angry about the continued militarism and the chaos and destruction spread by the US military system; "my" government.
	6:42am the Hurston moor-elf: Oh man, Angelo : ( I saw him a couple of dozen times with the cult Bristol band Blue Aeroplanes, was very happy to see him do so well with Massive Attack. RIP
	6:42am StringOFperils: ↳ vanya haifa @6:35 Conducting an industrialized extermination on such a nice morning isn't what I'd call 'wise' either. Something has gone very wrong.
	6:44am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @6:36 My novelist friend calls us "chimps" but same diff.
	6:45am TDK60: ↳ vanya haifa @6:35 Oh! And I am willing to talk about all the nuances or complexities of the situation. I don't deny them.
	6:46am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:42 As long as we remain kind, I think discussion is good. We won't solve th problem here, but we may make ourselves feel better and increase understanding.
	6:46am Brian D: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @6:42 Yes. Terrible. 62 I believe. Far too young.
	6:47am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @6:42 Well, we have thousands of armed men in Gaza, who just broke through the border and tortured 1400 of Israeli citizens. This is brutal assault. And we have several countries around, who support them. We are very grateful to America for sending those ships to help us. So, I kinda hope that you don't dp much effort of preventing America from doing this. I'n in Haifa so so far, being far from Gaza, we are onlly sporadically bombed. My friends in Tel-Aviv go to bomb shelters a couple times a day. So, yeah, grateful for the American help
	6:48am vanya haifa: ↳ Brian D @6:46 yeah
	6:48am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @6:45 alright let's try
	6:48am TDK60: Good day Hurston moor-elf! I didn't know the Blue Aeroplanes were from way out west.
	⚡ 6:51am tom tom the pipers son: had a thought that geo political events are mimicking climate events and that the inability/refusal to deal with climate crisis on the part of nations is bubbling up a return of the repressed
	⚡ 6:51am Michael of Cologne: ↳ StringOFperils @6:36 A thoughtful response from you and Tom Waits, who says what we are as a species of animal. But who we are, or could be, could be cast as something completely different. We have not yet even learned to distinguish between what and who.
	6:54am the Hurston moor-elf: Hi TDK! Yeah, the 'Planes were the embodiment of Bristol culture back in the last 80s. Such a cool band. And Angelo was the coolest.
	6:55am Juli: Yes humans are animals but also have incredible power if unlocked
	6:58am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:51 I think that's true. We're looking at images of the drought-ravaged Middle East. Is it a coincidence that there is conflict there?
	⚡ 7:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:39 referring to palestine as another 'country' when israel is responsible for lack of sovereignty is a rationalization
	7:01am TDK60: ↳ vanya haifa @6:47 Vanya - Yes. I don't deny the brutality of the Hamas attack. I condemn it. I do think that sending US ships to the Mediterranean Sea is odd. As, the Israeli government is already well-armed, from infantry to missiles. And the violence being unleashed upon Palestinians is also a war-crime.
	7:03am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	7:03am Barbie: Hey Brian! Looking forward to your interview. Another great feature of the magic factory
	7:03am dale: morning. re:nick cave, he's in western new york recording. his wife posted an instagram of her in a denny's. wife thinks it was dunkirk ny by the street and buildings she recognizes out the window and he's possibly recording at dave fridmann's.... more that you wanted to know or give a hoot about i'm sure...
	⚡ 7:04am tom tom the pipers son: ny times featuring pita bread recipe in cooking section...odd timing, doncha think?
	7:04am Brian D: Hi Fred! Hi Barbie! Hope you find the interview interesting.
	7:05am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:03 Not at all! When we saw him speak a few weeks back, he mentioned they would be recording soon.
	7:05am StringOFperils: The Unites States has plowed over 264 billion dollars into Israel over time. It's an investment in geo-political power and access to oil to ensure the success and expansion of private corporations' concerns in the world . The U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford is floated there to protect those investments.
	7:08am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone listening in...
	⚡ 7:08am tom tom the pipers son: nice pavement song
	7:09am Juli: If we buy the right things and love each other we have a fighting chance
	7:09am Juli: I bought a mushrooms extract THC pen Is nice
	7:10am Juli: But the right products Supper the right ppl
	7:11am fred: Odd bedfellows department: the French National Rally (far-right, obviously) will join a march against antisemitism, which is rich. Then again, they hate Arabs even more than they hate Jews

	7:12am Juli: Buy the correct produvts
	7:13am fred: ↳ Juli @7:11 I was wondering whether "supper the right" was a variant of "eat the rich"
	7:14am Robm: hello fellow current listeners
	⚡ 7:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:13 ha!
	7:15am ?: 65 years since my birth & the U.S. has been involved in a war somewhere in the world.. Will it ever end? No, I don't think so.
	7:16am StringOFperils: ↳ fred @7:13 They're certainly free-range. Probably a bad after-taste....maybe not...hmmm....lots of yummy fat...I dunno, Fred
	7:18am Robm: hey fellow listeners just wondering, if trump gets elected again, i wonder if there is a way for him or his henchmen to prevent us from listening to international broadcasting like the bbc or the cbc, just wanted to throw it out there
	7:18am ?: Many years ago I said to anyone who will listen "the next wars will be over water" Hold on..it's coming
	7:18am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @7:01 Israeli army is unprecendentally cautious to civilians. It should be for two reasons - no-one wants to kill civilians, especially people like you and me who are the soldiers, also the world watches. It issues numerous warnings to civilians to leave the areas of military action. SMS, fliers. I does all it can - nothing that any army did. It's firsthand a war crime to hide behind civilians, like Hamas does for all these years. And Hamas should be destroyed. It's the war. It's natural to simpathyze with dying Palestinian civilians, but the thing is that no-one offers any other solution. It "just stop, we don't wanna see this". If Israel didn't have super-expensive anti-missile system, Israeli homes would be destroyed and people died throughout the year, because Hams just shoots these rockets, did before 7.10, conyinues much more frequently now - no-one caes anymore. Every Israeli has an app, which beeps when there's a rocket launched in his direction. It's not Israel fault being stronger and richer. It's attitudes still are way more humane thfn Hamas - which is elected governmenent in Gaza, btw
	7:19am Robm: hi juli
	7:20am Doug in MP: ↳ vanya haifa @7:18 This is demonstrably untrue
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @7:18 the warnings that israel is giving palestinians has been described as a pervese 'head start' before they kill them
	⚡ 7:22am Heidee: Journalism can never be silent. Its virtue and its burden. Hi all!
	7:23am Robm: ↳ Heidee @7:22 heidee long time no see
	7:24am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:22 Not a very helpful statement. Depends on who describes them that way
	7:25am vanya haifa: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:22 "Has been described" is not an argument. Do you raelly think that Israel just wants to kill civilians?
	7:25am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @7:22 Heidee! Great to "see" you.
	7:25am Fredericks: ↳ StringOFperils @6:36 Where did he say that?
	7:25am Doug in MP: BBC (12 hours ago) Macron calls on Israel to stop killing Gaza's women and babies
	7:26am Robm: ↳ vanya haifa @7:25 who knows maybe they want too, and let god sort them out
	⚡ 7:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @7:25 israeli government has described civilians in a dehumanized way re: animals
	7:28am vanya haifa: ↳ Robm @7:26 I don't think so. It's irrational in the first place, considering the world watches, and it challenges world's support for Israel. Not mentioning just being humane.
	7:29am fred: ↳ vanya haifa @7:18 Hamas won a plurality in 2006 against the very corrupt Fatah, and have never help elections since. So I think calling them "elected government" is a misleading way to blame people who have no say
	⚡ 7:29am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @7:25 Hi Brian! It this you interviewing?
	7:29am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:44 Monkeys have tails.
	⚡ 7:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:24 yeah i don't remember what the source was though it was someone in gaza
	⚡ 7:29am Heidee: ↳ Robm @7:23 Hi Robm! How's things?
	7:30am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @7:29 Yes. Pre-recorded. It's hard to get people in here at 6 am on Saturdays.
	7:30am fred: ↳ fred @7:29 held not help
	⚡ 7:30am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @7:30 Really good interview questions.
	7:31am Robm: ↳ Heidee @7:29 ohh pretty good ate breakfast and listening to this wonderful station @Brian yeah people are still asleep:)
	7:31am vanya haifa: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:27 Somebody in the governement could have said something angry, that sure is wrong. Gaza governement is Hamas who base their ideology on eradicating Israel as a state
	7:32am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:30 Though easier than at 3 am on Sundays (at least getting the DJ there should be easier)
	7:32am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:32 Very true, and yes it is.
	7:32am Robm: ↳ Doug in MP @7:25 doug listening a lot to the BBCWS lately, and i stay away from cable news
	7:33am Doug in MP: ↳ Robm @7:32 I stick to text-based news. I don't have time to listen to the talking heads on cable
	⚡ 7:34am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @7:31 that's not the same with present israeli government regarding palestinians with these kahane-ists in the israeli government?
	7:35am vanya haifa: ↳ fred @7:29 That is true. Anywy they were elected in the first place. In short - what is your solution? jHamas is invincible, because it hides behind civilians, wipe your tears, build a better wall, and Hamas keeps abusing power in Gaza?
	7:35am TDK60: ↳ vanya haifa @7:31 Vanya. I have read about more than one Israeli government official mouthing racist and/or genocidal ideas; not just angry.
	7:35am Robm: fellow listeners i think we better lower the temperature on here before we all get thrown off the chat @Doug the guardian right, i have bbc sounds thats how i listen too bbcws
	7:36am vanya haifa: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:34 I didn't understand that. Anyway I'm not happy with current Israeli governement either
	7:38am Brian D: ↳ vanya haifa @7:36 Vanya, you're obviously not alone in that regard. I have an Israeli friend who hates the current government and takes pains to emphasize it doesn't speak for her or her family.
	7:40am Billybob: ↳ vanya haifa @7:31 With you on all this, Vanya. I saw what happened on 10/7. Quite honestly, I don't quite understand all the protests in the US coming from people that Palestinians would do away with. Most preposterous is the support for Hamas from gay people. And I stress "Hamas" because I haven't seen much anti-Hamas proclamations in all these protests.
	⚡ 7:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ vanya haifa @7:36 meir kahane was an extremist, to put it mildly, who' s organization was on israel's terrorist list, members of which are in israel's gv't now
	7:41am Juli: ↳ fred @7:13 Only in hindsight lol
	7:42am Juli: Hi RobM
	7:42am vanya haifa: ↳ TDK60 @7:35 Have you read about Hamas not just mouthing ideas, but have their ideology based on eradicating a neighbouring country? I don't much like current Israeli governement either. Still, comparing governements which do you prefer Hamas or Netanyahu? Really the same to you?
	7:43am vanya haifa: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:40 Yeah, this totally sucks
	7:44am Robm: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:40 i don’t think mier kahane is alive right now
	7:44am fred: ↳ vanya haifa @7:35 I agree with you that the lack of a vision for the future is a big problem, which unfortunately serves those in power very well to remain in power. I remember a more hopeful time, I think few regular people on either side want these horrors
	7:44am ?: Unless you live in the warring areas, your opinion is meaningless, whichever way you care to voice it. Armchair quarterbacking. Bring back Bad Animals to this time slot...We can get 24/7 coverage of the war almost anywhere.
	7:45am TDK60: Good interview Brian. Thanks. Interesting outfit, Covering Climate Now.
	7:46am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:45 Yes, they are. For more information: coveringclimatenow.org
	7:46am TDK60: ↳ vanya haifa @7:42 Vanya, I don't think Hamas and the Israeli government are the same. I do think both are reactionary, but in different ways. Nuances.

	7:49am Bort Simpson: Treat my shorts!
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:47 I have. I actually thought about playing that today.
	⚡ 7:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:44 omer bartov on democracy now, proposing an alternative to one state or two state proposals, some king of confederacy and a return to '67 borders
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:51 Unfortunately, that would entail more displacement. There is no easy solution here... obviously.
	⚡ 7:52am tom tom the pipers son: kind
	7:53am StringOFperils: Israel's current actions and the currently estiimated 10,000 retaliatory deaths in Palestine throws a battleship full of gasoline on the fire. Likud has to know this, and therefore appears to be playing an endgame in which every last potential for Hamas to go on existing must be atomized. Completely annihilated. Everyone. And everything. Surely Likud knows this exacerbates the blood resentment of an already terrible invasion and annexation a thousand-fold. What do you suppose is its ultimate desire is? A 'holy' land? God's green acre? Built on skulls? This is resistance to an invasion. And it has become literally insane, driven to nauseating savagery it by its oppressors. Israel has created a Frankenstein. This isn't going to end well for anyone, and will probably never end now.
	⚡ 7:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:52 i think there was a work around on that, not sure
	7:53am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Echolocation" by "Mendoza, Hoff, Revels" Had to sign in to give this a star.
	7:55am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @7:53 Worth it, though, right?
	⚡ 7:55am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fredericks @7:53 agree, and this has gotten a fair amount of fmu luv, mendoza esp great
	7:56am ?: ↳ dale @7:49 I can also stop my monetary support to this station & put it elsewhere
	7:56am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.

	7:58am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:58 I made it! Good to know.
	7:58am dale: ↳ @7:56 yes. yes you can.
	7:59am Billybob: ↳ StringOFperils @7:53 In war, people die. Remember, if 10/7 hadn't happened, neither would have Israel's response.
	8:00am Robm: ↳ @7:56 why don’t you put your name not a question mark
	8:00am ?: ↳ dale @7:58 All I meant by what I said about Currents, which is a fine show, is it was better served in it's old time slot.

	8:01am dday: ↳ Robm @8:00 OK Rob. It's ME. Does that change anything? and dave..I was never lost
	8:01am Robm: ↳ davefromtoronto @8:01 ha ha ha
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Billybob @7:59 this all began on oct. 7th? there's not some larger context?
	8:02am Robm: ↳ dday @8:01 yeah it does
	8:02am dday: ↳ Robm @8:02 Good. It's nice to see how the open minds of WFMU really operate
	⚡ 8:03am herb.nyc: Hola. Cute, Brian does the ID early. Not like us in USandA and around the world, who like to wait and wait and wait UNTIL action is required. ie, we hafta undo climate change now. I heard the tail end of interview, will try and listen later. Thx
	8:03am dale: ↳ @8:00 i enjoyed bad animals too. i never heard this show before but enjoy it as well.
	8:04am Robm: ↳ dday @8:02 go argue with someone else going back to sleep
	⚡ 8:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Billybob @7:59 and the death toll, sort of one sided i'd say, and it always is in conflicts between israel/palestine

	8:05am dday: ↳ dale @8:03 Exactly dale. Early A.M. Sat after being beat over the head all week with "the news" it was nice to have a few hours of pleasant radio. BTW Brian, your show is great. I was not being negative towards you.
	8:06am davefromtoronto: ↳ dday @8:01 just trying to lighten the mood...
	8:06am TDK60: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 Good morning tom tom. Of course there's a larger historical context. And the governments of the UK and US are part of that context.
	⚡ 8:06am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian: wish you could have left in 'and drown in my own shit' which seems pretty resonant now

	⚡ 8:07am Heidee: ↳ JB @8:05 Hi JB 👋
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ dday @8:05 I didn't take it that way, Dale. I like Bad Animals, too. They wanted to move, for the record.
	⚡ 8:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @8:06 hi tdk...
	8:08am fred: ↳ PKNY @8:07 It is a WFMU bathroom break classic
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:06 So do I but, you know...
	8:08am dday: ↳ davefromtoronto @8:06 No sweat dave. I have seen the "pile on" mentality on these boards before & find it disturbing. It's why I don't engage in any social media except here because mostly it's different. Occasionally I don't sign in only when I don't think I'll be hanging around...things to do.
	8:09am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:08 I took mine earlier.
	8:09am dday: ↳ Brian D @8:08 I had that feeling. Everybody needs change from time to time. carry on sir :)
	⚡ 8:09am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dday @8:08 i think pile on was avoided
	8:09am Billybob: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 Yes, there is a larger context. Nevertheless, these 10,000 (or however many) deaths wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for, not just the quantity, but the brutality, of the slaughter perp'd by Hamas on 10/7.
	8:10am vanya haifa: ↳ StringOFperils @7:53 what is your solution? how should a country react to a murderous breach of it's border. also there is no annexation of Gaza. Gaza has been given back to Palestinians, after being captured in the war (like all countries territories in the world before that, and it;s never diputed). it has been given back, which i guess nobody has ever done. in exchange for promise of peace, which was not fulfilled. i'm sorry i really have to finish with this, i'm getting very upset, because this station has been like the safe spot for me online. gotta get stoned and try to do something practical. ...Nobody offers a solution. Everybody is rightfully condemning the death of civilians. But it's the war. Open war from the side of Hamas. What can a country do in the war against it? Can you imagine any other country having to deal with what Israel has to? It hasn't been handled the best way by Israel. But where is the cry "Egypt, accept Palestinian refugees" etc? Israel has to show extreme mercy to the people, who didnot accept giving part of the land to Jews on the first place, and lost in the war that came after that - I guess you know the history of how it started
	8:10am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @8:06 I note the large pro-Palestine march in London today. (Under threat from rightists and media slander.)
	8:10am JB: ↳ Heidee @8:07 Howdy Heidee, nice to see you.
	⚡ 8:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Billybob @8:09 sounds like you're advocating collective punishment to me.
	8:13am fred: ↳ vanya haifa @8:10 Getting stoned can be practical. Have as much of a good day as you can in these times. I think you'll always be welcome here, at least I hope so
	8:13am TDK60: I recall well that reactionary real estate guy calling for the execution of the innocent "Central Park 5." Three decades ago.
	8:13am StringOFperils: ↳ vanya haifa @8:10 I, of course, have no solution to the great problems of mankind, vanya. There are too many people on this planet, and resources are strained. Politicians everywhere mislead us. Media confuse us. We confuse ourselves. I suppose you can guess that I am passionate about this, and despairing in lieu of knowing what to do. God help you. And God help us all. And if that's too clerical, well,, try to make the best of your life on your own. What a mess.
	8:14am Robm: ↳ dday @8:09 dday i apologize for being an asshole too you, it was not polite of me
	8:14am Gary K: Omg you are killing it this morning! Keep it going Mr. DJ.
	8:14am Billybob: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:04 Are you saying it should be proportionate? I guess we'd have to know how many women were raped, families burned alive and people forced to watch their loved ones executed in order for Israel to respond in kind.
	8:14am Brian D: ↳ vanya haifa @8:10 Wishing you peace and safety, Vanya. Appreciate your perspective today.
	8:14am fred: ↳ TDK60 @8:13 Well it's not like he was president, just a rich blowhard
	8:14am dday: ↳ TDK60 @8:13 "reactionary real estate guy" hee hee ..Nice

	8:19am dday: ↳ TDK60 @8:18 Same here. I go so far as to change the tv channel if his face appears. I give him NO audience. He screwed a boss I used to work for years ago, so I have a personal dislike for him.

	8:21am fred: ↳ TDK60 @8:18 Didn't Glen Jones work on some courtroom drama at some point? Usually the recurring character is the judge, but you guys have a new one with a twist on that premise

	8:22am Billybob: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:19 What's with this "proportionate" stuff? Why, in a war, would you expect a tie score?
	⚡ 8:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:21 i think it was court tv
	8:23am dday: ↳ fred @8:21 Jones worked at Court TV, which brings you into the courtrooms "live" during hearings on all sorts of things. I watch it as it's interesting to see how the real nuts & bolts of a court case (pretty boring actually) is vs. the tv Law & Order version.

	8:38am ?: Egypt and Jordan should free the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and let them be citizens in real countries. There are already lots of Muslim countries but there is only one Jewish country in a world with lots of Jew haters. So the one Jewish country needs to protect its citizens. Egypt and Jordan and many other middle eastern countries already have kicked out almost every Jew living in their countries.

	⚡ 8:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Billybob @8:30 the idea of eradicating hamas seems flawed like in other guerilla wars, otoh i don't condone what they stand for and am skeptical if they would go away if palestine was granted a state

	⚡ 8:46am herb.nyc: Sorry for not following the flow of the comments board Yest nytimes A section has no articles on climate change. But the e-cars one is related, tho money and natural resources and china are main issues, not the need to save the earth (& us; wait, mark TECHTONIC hurst is telling us of the major faults of solar panels. E-cars have similar. Or are we being duped by the republicans?)
	8:46am Fredericks: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @8:42 Dippermouth Blues?
	8:47am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Fredericks @8:46 Ouchie
	8:48am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:43 Fist time I saw US Girls was in the basement of a bar, a huge amount of reverb on her voice, pretty much a noise show (loved it) I have a CDR somewhere, probably unplayable by now
	8:48am TDK60: ↳ Song: "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" by "Bryan Ferry" I usually avoid criticizing songs on the WFMU boards. But, let me try to politely put it this way: I prefer Bob's version of "Rain"!
	⚡ 8:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:48 aw, that sounds great...
	8:51am Billybob: ↳ ? @8:38 Agreed. And all that makes me wonder why all the anti-Israel protest. It starts to feel more like a revolt against Western ideology with all its pesky free speech, freedom of religion, women's rights, etc. This is why I think the student protestors are being duped into thinking support for Palestine is about justice.
	8:52am dday: ↳ Brian D @8:46 Interesting a Dylan cover on A side & a Humphrey Bogart tribute on side B
	⚡ 8:54am tom tom the pipers son: thanks, brian, have a good one...

	8:55am dday: ↳ Brian D @8:54 I've loved Ferry & Roxy since their first LP. I have yet to listen to Ferry's "Dylanesque" LP. He is a huge Dylan fan
	8:56am TDK60: ↳ Billybob @8:51 Good day Billy Bob. I think the protests are mostly against destruction and the dispossession of a people. Now, I'm off to an art exhibit of Palestine liberation posters. Thanks for the conversation folks. Thanks for the show, Brian!
	8:56am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:50 I remember she did a beautifully mangled Springsteen cover, I'm not sure what the song was now

	8:56am rich in angleton: thanks Brian!
	8:56am Bort Simpson: Brian I thank you
	8:57am StringOFperils: Pesky free speech. Like a bad smell in a world of silent dutiful order. All that perfect glistening steel reflecting my face in some distorted way. I feel high as a kite.
	⚡ 8:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:56 her treated voice on 'this boy....' is haunting
	8:59am fred: Thanks Brian!
