Listener comments!
	6:03am tom tom the pipers son: good morning brian and all...jeez fell asleep at end of jeremiah's...must be the smooth ja(zzzzzzz)
	6:04am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:03 I fell asleep at the end of Jeremiah's show, too. Good morning, Tom Tom... and everyone!
	6:05am Toothgrinder Tom: Good morning.
	6:05am Toothgrinder Tom: Moody piece, this.
	6:08am Brian D: Greetings, Tooth. We'll pick things up for a bit.
	6:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:04 great minds, as they say,....fall asleep
	6:11am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:11 If only that were true in my case...
	6:13am Erik/VT: 🫀Lookout for Hope (feat. The Umbria Jazz Orchestra) by Bill Frisell alive & indirect =❤️, i believe a reworking of a much older title track. Appreciate its Noir-adjacent vibes. Usta try and collect Frisell, but it was impossible to keep up 🤭 - prolific! I will still attend in-concert anytime he’s nearish by.
	6:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:11 c,mon... i knew you would say that
	6:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik/VT @6:13 i thought there was a little james bond theme in there too
	6:14am Brian D: ↳ Erik/VT @6:13 Frisell is incredible. I've yet to see him live. Must remedy that.
	6:14am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:13 It's part of my charm.
	6:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:14 ha! yes
	6:15am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	6:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:15 your friend is very accomplished...
	6:16am Don in Tampere: good morning Brian, fred, tom tom, Erik, Toothgrinder Tom!
	6:18am Toothgrinder Tom: @Don hello - how’s Finland?
	6:19am Brian D: Fred! Don!
	6:20am radioronan: Good morning Brian..no better sunrise than with Sun Ra..happy centennial Marshall Allen!
	6:20am tom tom the pipers son: hello don..
	6:21am Don in Tampere: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:18 It's cooled down a little after an unusually warm May, but it feels good. I got back last night from a couple of days in Crete reviewing an EU project, and it was extremely hot there. This afternoon is both a flea market at my cobbler friend's workshop and the celebration of Finnish Sauna Day at Rajaporrt, around the corner from me.
	6:22am Don in Tampere: There was a documentary on psychedelics on Netflix a while ago, and one episode was about MDMA in treatment of PTSD and addiction. Very interesting
	6:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:22 i don't think that treatment's been given "go" here. which is par for the course
	6:26am john_zilla: morning all
	6:26am Brian D: ↳ radioronan @6:20 Just turned two weeks ago. Good morning, Ronan.
	6:26am Don in Tampere: I don't know if it's been approved officially anywhere yet. The studies in the doc were in the US. Finland will probably be the last country to approve it, like it will probably be the last country to legalize cannabis
	6:26am Toothgrinder Tom: @Don Finnish Sauna Day! What a great idea. I bet you dollars to donuts the Japanese don’t have a national onsen (hot spring) day.
	6:27am Brian D: ↳ john_zilla @6:26 Salutations, John.
	6:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:25 ny times... F.D.A. Panel Rejects MDMA-Aided Therapy for PTSD An independent group of experts expressed concerns that the data from clinical trials did not outweigh risks for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.
	6:28am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:27 We'll be hearing about that shortly.
	6:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:26 oh really i imagined finland differently
	6:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:28 ah...
	6:29am Brian D: Just one study: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
	6:30am Don in Tampere: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:28 Overall, it's a wonderful place. But the legal and medical establishments are quite conservative. I think it will change though; the younger generation doesn't drink nearly as much as the older ones (probably because they got sick of seeing their parents drunk and stupid), but are doing more cannabis. In Pispala, where I live, it's everywhere.
	6:32am Erik/VT: re Frisell - either trio or orchestra - s’ALL Good-Great! - some 🎸guitar lovers find his occasionally turning his back to audience bothersome (I say 🤷‍♂️) they usually wanna see his fingers etc. also, unlike so many artists, I found that his team would be sure to offer copious amounts of albums at merch table etc. always a bonus at a concert.
	6:32am Michael of Cologne: G'day dear Brian, Tom Tom, Don, Fred & all from a warm & sunny Cologne.
	6:32am Toothgrinder Tom: I only have Denmark as a (blurry) comparison point.
	6:34am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:32 Michael!
	6:35am Don in Tampere: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:32 Denmark is very different, but I think that it's still officially illegal there - at least to grow or sell, maybe not use. Of course, Christiania is an autonomous zone.....
	6:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:30 interesting and i think being conservative, in the true meaning of the word, in some areas is not a bad thing
	6:36am Toothgrinder Tom: @Michael I just learned Germany is hosting the Euros this year and they’re starting later next week? That’s exciting.
	6:36am Fredericks: This is turning into much more than I expected. Lovely.
	6:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:32 Hi michael in cologne...busy again today...
	6:38am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone tuned in...
	6:38am Brian D: Fredericks! Strand!
	6:39am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:36 Yep, the Europe Cup comp starts this week, which Cologne as one of the main planing venues. Weather's perfect so far.
	6:41am Toothgrinder Tom: And I noticed Wales isn’t in it. But Albania is?
	6:41am john_zilla: thought this study was already done in California? part of MAPS or something
	6:43am ryansterlingvirtue: Great janes song
	6:43am ryansterlingvirtue: Can’t wait for xxx to be approved
	6:44am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:37 Yup. I'm doing a hefty leg of lamb to night and have to do a bit of shopping. Bottle of 2020 Chatêau Neuf du Pape ready. Otherwise had laser op on my left eye this week to shoot holes through my posterior capsule fibrosis, which restored my vision to better than 100%. Right eye will be treated next week. Like Superman, will then be able to see through walls. Hope you're well.
	6:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:44 thanks, congrats on the laser success...!
	6:46am Erik/VT: - was some of that max richter derived from the ‘Ad Astra’ space sci-fi soundtrack? In thought that was a pretty good movie going experience (despite it seemingly getting looked over).
	6:47am Don in Tampere: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:44 I love lamb! Enjoy the dinner. good news on the eyes. I think I am getting close to due for cataract surgery, and am kind of looking forward to it because i can stop wering contact lenses and. for the most part, glasses too.
	6:48am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:39 CORRECTION: Yep, the Europe Cup comp. starts this week, with Cologne as one of the main playing venues. Weather's perfect so far. I'm the worst possible person to talk to about soccer.
	6:48am dale: ↳ Song: "I Would for You" by "Jane's Addiction" morning. always a treat to hear a new to me song i love, and find out it's from a band i don't care for just based on their hits.
	6:48am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:38 Good morning, Brian. So far, so great.
	6:49am Toothgrinder Tom: @Michael 6:39 ha ha, I’m no expert myself.
	6:50am Toothgrinder Tom: It’s just, you know, a ‘thing’ going on.
	6:50am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Hey good morning! We're down here enjoying the fantastic weather at the dog park. Great show so far, been enjoying since I got up.
	6:51am Toothgrinder Tom: I remember the Euros 3 years ago (?) and they seemed pretty intense, and fun.
	6:51am Azk: Jim. Is tgat choo
	6:51am Toothgrinder Tom: Hi @NARD in Norfolk.
	6:53am Brian D: A link to House 30 Kabul, for those interested: www.theguardian.com...
	6:54am Azk: If if only
	6:55am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and news people.
	6:56am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:51 Good morning Tom!
	6:56am Brian D: Peter! NotAReal!
	6:57am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.
	6:57am Brian D: Cooh!
	6:57am HyperDose: Hey, Brian. Stoked to be here
	6:58am Brian D: ↳ HyperDose @6:57 Stoked to have you, Hyper. Hope you're well.
	7:01am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:49 I dare you to fathom the depth of my ignorance about soccer. Spend my time elsewhere, beyond the looking glass.
	7:02am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! good morning everyone out there today!
	7:03am newton: GoodMorning Brian & Currants
	7:04am Brian D: Rich! Newton!
	7:04am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:01 Do you prefer 4-4-2 or 4-3-3?
	7:07am Don in Tampere: I'm currently reading "Forensic Architecture" by Eyal Weizman, a Jewish israeli activist, which was written before the current war. Based on his reports, Netanyahu should be glad he wasn't indicted earlier.
	7:08am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Clip: AfricaNews-US Congress passes proposal sanc... U.S. extra-territorial exceptionalism at work.
	7:08am windy city soul: Good morning Would you mind posting a link to the article you mentioned Referencing Virginia Wolfe and family Much thx
	7:08am dale: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:07 one of my FB memories from about 6 years ago was that netanyahu was a douche. don't remember what was going on then, but collateral damage means zip to him.
	7:09am fred: This show is a fine soundtrack to my reading a pile of material to make my pick for tomorrow's European election
	7:09am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:44 Michael, which Chatêauneuf-du-Pape are you opening? Professional curiosity.
	7:10am tom tom the pipers son: just loaded fmu app on phone... yay! but site says bad animals is playing from old old schedule, also yet to find volume control on app
	7:14am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:09 The label tells me 2020 Réserve des Roumiguières Châteauneuf-du-Pape, one of the reasonably priced sort. You don't happen to be a sommelier?
	7:15am Toothgrinder Tom: @Michael to me soccer is like a black hole, I can’t resist its gravitational pull. Especially European soccer. And I also find these international tournaments irresistible. But to each his own, I know there are a surprising amount of people even in England who find it boring or are apathetic to it. That’s kind of how I feel about American football most of the time.
	7:16am Toothgrinder Tom: I suppose the fan culture built up especially around club teams is foreign and therefore exotic to me,
	7:17am Brian D: ↳ windy city soul @7:08 It's paywalled, but it's called A Certain Heft of Stone: www.newletters.org...
	7:18am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:08 You can set your watch by that.
	7:18am HyperDose: ↳ Brian D @6:58 I am thank you. Sore as a boar, but grateful to work with people I actually like
	7:19am windy city soul: Thx Brian D
	7:19am Toothgrinder Tom: Re Chateauneuf du Pape sounds perfect.
	7:21am tom tom the pipers son: i just met a pedram....
	7:22am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:09 National Front?
	7:22am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 Mine JM in the AM for ages.
	7:23am Brian D: ↳ HyperDose @7:18 Good to hear.
	7:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:22 ah hah....
	7:23am Erik/VT: @tttps: the red black & white WF (woof) MU (moo) app?! It’s what I utilize most of the time via my iPhone (as I am moving around and not available to sit extended periods of time with the Laptop). The versatility is beautifully designed (best app ever!). I appreciate how one can simultaneously utilize the app on its own / whilst also having the WFMU webpage open via safari. Multitasking on a handheld device was NOT my life even 3 years ago! - crazy times.
	7:24am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:22 I should have used gloves when putting those three (!) in the garbage
	7:24am newton: a red fox was screaming under my window last night from 12:54 to 1:30. Never heard that before and never want to again
	7:24am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:24 Ha!
	7:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik/VT @7:23 my phone is android
	7:25am Brian D: ↳ newton @7:24 Yikes! What did that sound like? Was Frances alarmed?
	7:25am dale: ↳ newton @7:24 'i'm a comiin' elizbith!'
	7:25am newton: I think there isn't an in app volume control, just the volume buttons on the phone
	7:26am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 Have you tried turning it off and on again?
	7:26am newton: ↳ dale @7:25 It was definitely the big one! No Lamont here to help either
	7:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:25 thought that might be the case, thx
	7:26am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:15 When I was twelve I became more than enthusiastic about the Beatles, and John in particular. Completely lost interest in sport and never recovered, although I can appreciate the wondrous skill of top players in most sports. The worst of it is that sports have become big business and thus sullied and stupid -- vehicles for selling shit to the infinitely manipulable masses aka consumers' freedom of choice in free societies. I still remember the top Australian Davis Cup player, Rod Laver, before the Cup surrendered its amateur status.
	7:26am Brian D: ↳ windy city soul @7:19 My pleasure. Highly recommend New Letters. I don't know them personally, but I've subscribed for years and really enjoy it.
	7:26am newton: ↳ Brian D @7:25 it sounds like a baby screaming being ripped apart by heyenas
	7:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:26 yes ...still reads bad animals...
	7:27am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:25 Ha!
	7:29am newton: App connects automatically to my car sound, and the previous show or last dong played persists on the screen (both car screen and phone) until I close and reopen the app AND actually get connection to the live. Up here there are lots of places where the signal drops out, and the phone freezes with whatever the last downloaded packet was
	7:30am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:26 I downloaded the old official app years ago. It still works for me, but I guess we're encouraged to use the newer unoffical app.
	7:31am newton: ↳ Brian D @7:25 We werwe both very alarmed. I got a high Pwer flashligh and shined it out the windows hoping to scare it away. The thing is there is a big hole in the lawn, which is on a slope, right there and I think it is a den.
	7:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:26 my in laws were friends with a conservative gov't counselor in chelsea, london, i became friendly with him, he owned a building in chelsea and let the ground floor be overrun with foxes until the neighbood commitee complained...story made the papers
	7:32am Brian D: ↳ newton @7:26 That's what my snoring sounds like... Seriously, that's awful.
	7:33am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & Saturday folks. Netanyahu's comments put me in mind of Henry Kissinger, when America bombed Cambodia/Laos secretly. Well secretly if you were not in either of those countries. An estimated 50,000+ dead. That deserves a peace prize.
	7:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:30 yes i downloaded new app for android just recently started using smartphone had flip phone
	7:34am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:32 In my middle of the night searches for info on foxes screams it came up a lot in London! Seems SW London had a lot of foxes, and all the people go online to post about it!
	7:34am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:33 Greetings Brian. And yes, two peas in a pod.
	7:34am dale: ↳ newton @7:31 leave her be. you may be rewarded with seeing 5 or 6 fox kits playing in the yard. they won't attack or anything.
	7:34am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:08 I've been in the wine business almost all of my life, in both retail and wholesale. Never been a sommelier though. Your bottle appears to be highly regarded. It's available in the US, but I haven't sold it.
	7:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:34 ah...sort of figured that would be the case
	7:35am Ken From Hyde Park: Zats, tonight is Fox's last show for this schedule. Hope I can catch at least part of it.
	7:35am Brian in UK: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:26 We have not come up with a new word to describe professional sport after the word amateur became redundant.
	7:37am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:08 Unfortunately, there's a cadre of US legislators primarily interested in posturing for their fans and not in doing any actual legislating.
	7:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dale @7:34 don't know the commonality of rabies with foxes, but did see a rabid fox in beacon one time
	7:38am fred: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:34 Have you ever listened to Tom Dash's show? It's not on the schedule these days, but he's a wine merchant
	7:39am Brian D: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:35 Yes, it is. Sad she won't be on this summer. But she'll be back. And may fill-in for me in July.
	7:40am dale: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:38 oh - scary for you. sad for him.
	7:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dale @7:40 was in a car ...it was in sad shape
	7:41am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:34 Thank you for the evaluation. I buy the pricier wines from Tesdorpf.de (est. in the 17th century no less!) which often has châteaus do special bottlings for it.
	7:42am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian in UK @7:35 How about: revenue-generating sport? Seems to fit the bill.
	7:43am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:38 Frances just had her hrabies boosts 2 weeks ago so OK for 3 years. Late night internet said mange might be more likely a problem, if one at all. So basically just keep away from them. Some people start feeding them, seems cold cuts are a go to food for foxes!
	7:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:43 the fox i saw was mangy but also out in the middle of the road in the middle of the day so figured rabies
	7:47am Don in Tampere: i'm of to the cobbler's flea market and the sauna festival. Have a great weekend, all!
	7:48am tom tom the pipers son: enjoy the day, don....
	7:48am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:47 You too, Don. Enjoy the day.
	7:49am newton: bye Don
	7:49am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:37 Unfortunately, there is some U.S. extra-territorial legislation that has considerable repressive effect. Mostly this legislation in enforced via the mighty Yankee dollar. American exceptionalism goes hand in hand with having the global Leitwährung (key reserve currency) in its power.
	7:50am ?: ↳ Song: "A Love International" by "Khruangbin" Morning from grey London Town, Brian and Currentists! Love the bass on these Khruangbin tracks!
	7:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:49 much talk about brics in europe?
	7:51am London Calling Francky: Oops forgot to sign in, lol! Let's do this again... Morning from grey London Town, Brian and Currentists! Love the bass on these Khruangbin tracks!
	7:52am newton: GOod morning LC Francky
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @7:51 You can say that again, LCF. Good day to you.
	7:52am London Calling Francky: ↳ Song: "Day of the Lords" by "Joy Division" Love the bass even more on anything by Joy Division!
	7:53am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:41 I checked out that website. They have a couple of other decent and decently priced Chatêauneufs as well. Check out the less expensive bottlings of Domaine Santa Duc, Domaine de Beaurenard, and Clos l'Oratoire if you haven't already. Love Rhône and other southern French wines.
	7:53am London Calling Francky: Morning Newton and Brian, how are we all doing?
	7:53am newton: ↳ London Calling Francky @7:52 Peter Hook did well by us
	7:55am newton: female foxes are called Vixen
	7:55am London Calling Francky: American vibez here in London Town this weekend: the MLB Circus has landed! Mets vs. Phillies at the London Stadium, normally home of West Ham... so weird!
	7:56am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @7:55 Haven't Hammers supporters suffered enough?
	7:56am newton: More corporate sports spectacle!
	7:57am tom tom the pipers son: that ws a good 'un
	7:58am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @7:56 Surely not as much as us QPR fans Brian :-D
	7:58am dale: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:46 i've seen the out in the day. doesn't mean anything. one was hit in the road and made it to my yard where i found him/her. there wasn't a mark on it, looks like it had just laid down to sleep. really one of the most beautiful animals i've seen.
	7:59am Will thee SG OCNY: Good morning Brian D and all!!!
	7:59am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @7:58 Could always be worse... Charlton Athletic.
	7:59am Brian D: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:59 Will!
	8:00am London Calling Francky: ↳ newton @7:56 You can say that! Huge batting Cages and ginormous screen showing ball games on a loop on Trafalgar Square is a very odd sight!
	8:01am newton: ↳ London Calling Francky @8:00 They keep the animals in cages just like the Circus!
	8:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dale @7:58 oh...one of my cats was very beautiful when it died mysteriously, must be how stupid humans get the stupid idea to stuff them
	8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:01 not cats, but animals in general
	8:03am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @7:59 You got a point there with Charlton Brian... or slightly further North, Birmingham City who are going down...
	8:04am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:51 BRICS only gets a mention in business rags. It has lost its gloss over the years, and no wonder, now that the 'post-war world order' has fallen apart. The Cold War détente between the Soviet Union and the U.S. seems paradisic compared to what's now facing us. Back to square one. Fukayama's pronouncement of the "end of history" has turned out to reveal itself to be euphoric hubris on the part of jubilantly expansive, borderless capital
	8:04am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @8:03 Birmingham are hiring former Celtic talent scout John Park.
	8:05am Erik/VT: Re Foxes🦊:living rurally, VT duh😉, see a lot of fox & kits and other wild animals. Fox are out & about all times of day and night. Often choose to lay down places randomly. Not usually ‘sick’. Curious and wonderful and resourceful creatures. We have a bunch of local old crows 🐦‍⬛ that fly above the foxes ‘scolding’ them.
	8:05am Brian in UK: ↳ London Calling Francky @8:03 Birmingham was a spectacular cock-up this last season.
	8:05am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 we seem to do a lot of stuffing, pharohs, that century where nearly every one was embalmed and burried in a polished box. Supreme court is stuffed with hay for brains
	8:06am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @8:05 ha!
	8:07am Michael of Cologne: ↳ newton @7:55 We had a class on unusual feminines in primary school when I was 8. Another unusual feminine is aviatrix.
	8:09am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @8:04 agree, so jubilant and borderless it's in space
	8:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Am the Fly" by "Wire" oh so good really just discovering wire, lucky boyme
	8:11am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @8:04 Talking of Celtic, I thought of you Brian: I was in Glasgow 2 weeks ago, for the first time ... fascinating city!
	8:12am newton: ↳ Michael of Cologne @8:07 As a stand alone sentence that is mysterious odd creepy and wonderful. Likely it is about the gendered language and not feminine icons.
	8:12am Erik/VT: @LCF; ha funnily enough, have a friend that is a New Hampshire transplant from NYC & a big METS fan. She is actually at that game. Also a typical U.S. of A. Anglophile - so planned her yearly trip around London & environs based on that Mets game. Sounds crazy to me. - meanwhile I’ve got the French Open tennis 🎾 on, in the background! 🥳🤓
	8:12am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian in UK @8:05 Yes, we at QPR were not far off cock-up wise, mind!
	8:12am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @8:11 Yes, it is. I love the energy there.
	8:13am HyperDose: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:01 After saying goodbye to my tuxie I closed his eyes and he was still the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. They really are majestic creatures
	8:14am tom tom the pipers son: mine was a tuxedo too
	8:14am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:09 The Medium oozes absolutely everywhere, seeps into our soul, poisons the Earth, And yet it remains invisible to today's thinking. The 'progressives' are all talking about Sustainable Development Goals and Human Flourishing. This is empty pep talk.
	8:15am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Brian! (On my raaaaa-diooo)
	8:15am Brian D: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @8:15 Greg! Greetings sir.
	8:16am Dan S: ↳ Song: "Radio Ga Ga" by "Queen" I love this song, but rarely hear it anymore. Thanks, Brian!
	8:16am London Calling Francky: ↳ Erik/VT @8:12 Yes, I have also heard of friends of friends who are flying to London for the Mets vs. Phillies game! Sounds like it is going to be huge! And I love Roland Garros, it is my fav Grand Chlem (that is how we French call a Grand Slam :-D)
	8:16am Re6ecca: Good morning! Great set!!!
	8:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @8:14 agree, it's still feeding moloch
	8:17am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @8:12 Yes, agreed, really great energy in Glasgow City! And truly lived up to its reputation as one of the friendliest cities in the World!
	8:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:16 in the metropolis sense but also the biblical sense as witnessed in gaza
	8:22am Fredericks: What movie is Brian talking about?

First time I paid list price for a cd!”. He visibly winced.

	8:28am Brian D: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @8:27 There are worse places to hang out.

Listener comments!
	6:03am tom tom the pipers son: good morning brian and all...jeez fell asleep at end of jeremiah's...must be the smooth ja(zzzzzzz)
	6:04am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:03 I fell asleep at the end of Jeremiah's show, too. Good morning, Tom Tom... and everyone!
	6:05am Toothgrinder Tom: Good morning.
	6:05am Toothgrinder Tom: Moody piece, this.
	6:08am Brian D: Greetings, Tooth. We'll pick things up for a bit.
	6:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:04 great minds, as they say,....fall asleep
	6:11am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:11 If only that were true in my case...
	6:13am Erik/VT: 🫀Lookout for Hope (feat. The Umbria Jazz Orchestra) by Bill Frisell alive & indirect =❤️, i believe a reworking of a much older title track. Appreciate its Noir-adjacent vibes. Usta try and collect Frisell, but it was impossible to keep up 🤭 - prolific! I will still attend in-concert anytime he’s nearish by.
	6:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:11 c,mon... i knew you would say that
	6:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik/VT @6:13 i thought there was a little james bond theme in there too
	6:14am Brian D: ↳ Erik/VT @6:13 Frisell is incredible. I've yet to see him live. Must remedy that.
	6:14am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:13 It's part of my charm.
	6:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:14 ha! yes
	6:15am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	6:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:15 your friend is very accomplished...
	6:16am Don in Tampere: good morning Brian, fred, tom tom, Erik, Toothgrinder Tom!
	6:18am Toothgrinder Tom: @Don hello - how’s Finland?
	6:19am Brian D: Fred! Don!
	6:20am radioronan: Good morning Brian..no better sunrise than with Sun Ra..happy centennial Marshall Allen!
	6:20am tom tom the pipers son: hello don..
	6:21am Don in Tampere: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:18 It's cooled down a little after an unusually warm May, but it feels good. I got back last night from a couple of days in Crete reviewing an EU project, and it was extremely hot there. This afternoon is both a flea market at my cobbler friend's workshop and the celebration of Finnish Sauna Day at Rajaporrt, around the corner from me.
	6:22am Don in Tampere: There was a documentary on psychedelics on Netflix a while ago, and one episode was about MDMA in treatment of PTSD and addiction. Very interesting
	6:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:22 i don't think that treatment's been given "go" here. which is par for the course
	6:26am john_zilla: morning all
	6:26am Brian D: ↳ radioronan @6:20 Just turned two weeks ago. Good morning, Ronan.
	6:26am Don in Tampere: I don't know if it's been approved officially anywhere yet. The studies in the doc were in the US. Finland will probably be the last country to approve it, like it will probably be the last country to legalize cannabis
	6:26am Toothgrinder Tom: @Don Finnish Sauna Day! What a great idea. I bet you dollars to donuts the Japanese don’t have a national onsen (hot spring) day.
	6:27am Brian D: ↳ john_zilla @6:26 Salutations, John.
	6:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:25 ny times... F.D.A. Panel Rejects MDMA-Aided Therapy for PTSD An independent group of experts expressed concerns that the data from clinical trials did not outweigh risks for treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.
	6:28am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:27 We'll be hearing about that shortly.
	6:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:26 oh really i imagined finland differently
	6:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:28 ah...
	6:29am Brian D: Just one study: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
	6:30am Don in Tampere: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:28 Overall, it's a wonderful place. But the legal and medical establishments are quite conservative. I think it will change though; the younger generation doesn't drink nearly as much as the older ones (probably because they got sick of seeing their parents drunk and stupid), but are doing more cannabis. In Pispala, where I live, it's everywhere.
	6:32am Erik/VT: re Frisell - either trio or orchestra - s’ALL Good-Great! - some 🎸guitar lovers find his occasionally turning his back to audience bothersome (I say 🤷‍♂️) they usually wanna see his fingers etc. also, unlike so many artists, I found that his team would be sure to offer copious amounts of albums at merch table etc. always a bonus at a concert.
	6:32am Michael of Cologne: G'day dear Brian, Tom Tom, Don, Fred & all from a warm & sunny Cologne.
	6:32am Toothgrinder Tom: I only have Denmark as a (blurry) comparison point.
	6:34am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:32 Michael!
	6:35am Don in Tampere: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:32 Denmark is very different, but I think that it's still officially illegal there - at least to grow or sell, maybe not use. Of course, Christiania is an autonomous zone.....
	6:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:30 interesting and i think being conservative, in the true meaning of the word, in some areas is not a bad thing
	6:36am Toothgrinder Tom: @Michael I just learned Germany is hosting the Euros this year and they’re starting later next week? That’s exciting.
	6:36am Fredericks: This is turning into much more than I expected. Lovely.
	6:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:32 Hi michael in cologne...busy again today...
	6:38am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone tuned in...
	6:38am Brian D: Fredericks! Strand!
	6:39am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:36 Yep, the Europe Cup comp starts this week, which Cologne as one of the main planing venues. Weather's perfect so far.
	6:41am Toothgrinder Tom: And I noticed Wales isn’t in it. But Albania is?
	6:41am john_zilla: thought this study was already done in California? part of MAPS or something
	6:43am ryansterlingvirtue: Great janes song
	6:43am ryansterlingvirtue: Can’t wait for xxx to be approved
	6:44am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:37 Yup. I'm doing a hefty leg of lamb to night and have to do a bit of shopping. Bottle of 2020 Chatêau Neuf du Pape ready. Otherwise had laser op on my left eye this week to shoot holes through my posterior capsule fibrosis, which restored my vision to better than 100%. Right eye will be treated next week. Like Superman, will then be able to see through walls. Hope you're well.
	6:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:44 thanks, congrats on the laser success...!
	6:46am Erik/VT: - was some of that max richter derived from the ‘Ad Astra’ space sci-fi soundtrack? In thought that was a pretty good movie going experience (despite it seemingly getting looked over).
	6:47am Don in Tampere: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:44 I love lamb! Enjoy the dinner. good news on the eyes. I think I am getting close to due for cataract surgery, and am kind of looking forward to it because i can stop wering contact lenses and. for the most part, glasses too.
	6:48am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:39 CORRECTION: Yep, the Europe Cup comp. starts this week, with Cologne as one of the main playing venues. Weather's perfect so far. I'm the worst possible person to talk to about soccer.
	6:48am dale: ↳ Song: "I Would for You" by "Jane's Addiction" morning. always a treat to hear a new to me song i love, and find out it's from a band i don't care for just based on their hits.
	6:48am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:38 Good morning, Brian. So far, so great.
	6:49am Toothgrinder Tom: @Michael 6:39 ha ha, I’m no expert myself.
	6:50am Toothgrinder Tom: It’s just, you know, a ‘thing’ going on.
	6:50am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Hey good morning! We're down here enjoying the fantastic weather at the dog park. Great show so far, been enjoying since I got up.
	6:51am Toothgrinder Tom: I remember the Euros 3 years ago (?) and they seemed pretty intense, and fun.
	6:51am Azk: Jim. Is tgat choo
	6:51am Toothgrinder Tom: Hi @NARD in Norfolk.
	6:53am Brian D: A link to House 30 Kabul, for those interested: www.theguardian.com...
	6:54am Azk: If if only
	6:55am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and news people.
	6:56am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:51 Good morning Tom!
	6:56am Brian D: Peter! NotAReal!
	6:57am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.
	6:57am Brian D: Cooh!
	6:57am HyperDose: Hey, Brian. Stoked to be here
	6:58am Brian D: ↳ HyperDose @6:57 Stoked to have you, Hyper. Hope you're well.
	7:01am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:49 I dare you to fathom the depth of my ignorance about soccer. Spend my time elsewhere, beyond the looking glass.
	7:02am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! good morning everyone out there today!
	7:03am newton: GoodMorning Brian & Currants
	7:04am Brian D: Rich! Newton!
	7:04am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:01 Do you prefer 4-4-2 or 4-3-3?
	7:07am Don in Tampere: I'm currently reading "Forensic Architecture" by Eyal Weizman, a Jewish israeli activist, which was written before the current war. Based on his reports, Netanyahu should be glad he wasn't indicted earlier.
	7:08am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Clip: AfricaNews-US Congress passes proposal sanc... U.S. extra-territorial exceptionalism at work.
	7:08am windy city soul: Good morning Would you mind posting a link to the article you mentioned Referencing Virginia Wolfe and family Much thx
	7:08am dale: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:07 one of my FB memories from about 6 years ago was that netanyahu was a douche. don't remember what was going on then, but collateral damage means zip to him.
	7:09am fred: This show is a fine soundtrack to my reading a pile of material to make my pick for tomorrow's European election
	7:09am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:44 Michael, which Chatêauneuf-du-Pape are you opening? Professional curiosity.
	7:10am tom tom the pipers son: just loaded fmu app on phone... yay! but site says bad animals is playing from old old schedule, also yet to find volume control on app
	7:14am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:09 The label tells me 2020 Réserve des Roumiguières Châteauneuf-du-Pape, one of the reasonably priced sort. You don't happen to be a sommelier?
	7:15am Toothgrinder Tom: @Michael to me soccer is like a black hole, I can’t resist its gravitational pull. Especially European soccer. And I also find these international tournaments irresistible. But to each his own, I know there are a surprising amount of people even in England who find it boring or are apathetic to it. That’s kind of how I feel about American football most of the time.
	7:16am Toothgrinder Tom: I suppose the fan culture built up especially around club teams is foreign and therefore exotic to me,
	7:17am Brian D: ↳ windy city soul @7:08 It's paywalled, but it's called A Certain Heft of Stone: www.newletters.org...
	7:18am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:08 You can set your watch by that.
	7:18am HyperDose: ↳ Brian D @6:58 I am thank you. Sore as a boar, but grateful to work with people I actually like
	7:19am windy city soul: Thx Brian D
	7:19am Toothgrinder Tom: Re Chateauneuf du Pape sounds perfect.
	7:21am tom tom the pipers son: i just met a pedram....
	7:22am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:09 National Front?
	7:22am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 Mine JM in the AM for ages.
	7:23am Brian D: ↳ HyperDose @7:18 Good to hear.
	7:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:22 ah hah....
	7:23am Erik/VT: @tttps: the red black & white WF (woof) MU (moo) app?! It’s what I utilize most of the time via my iPhone (as I am moving around and not available to sit extended periods of time with the Laptop). The versatility is beautifully designed (best app ever!). I appreciate how one can simultaneously utilize the app on its own / whilst also having the WFMU webpage open via safari. Multitasking on a handheld device was NOT my life even 3 years ago! - crazy times.
	7:24am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:22 I should have used gloves when putting those three (!) in the garbage
	7:24am newton: a red fox was screaming under my window last night from 12:54 to 1:30. Never heard that before and never want to again
	7:24am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:24 Ha!
	7:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik/VT @7:23 my phone is android
	7:25am Brian D: ↳ newton @7:24 Yikes! What did that sound like? Was Frances alarmed?
	7:25am dale: ↳ newton @7:24 'i'm a comiin' elizbith!'
	7:25am newton: I think there isn't an in app volume control, just the volume buttons on the phone
	7:26am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 Have you tried turning it off and on again?
	7:26am newton: ↳ dale @7:25 It was definitely the big one! No Lamont here to help either
	7:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:25 thought that might be the case, thx
	7:26am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:15 When I was twelve I became more than enthusiastic about the Beatles, and John in particular. Completely lost interest in sport and never recovered, although I can appreciate the wondrous skill of top players in most sports. The worst of it is that sports have become big business and thus sullied and stupid -- vehicles for selling shit to the infinitely manipulable masses aka consumers' freedom of choice in free societies. I still remember the top Australian Davis Cup player, Rod Laver, before the Cup surrendered its amateur status.
	7:26am Brian D: ↳ windy city soul @7:19 My pleasure. Highly recommend New Letters. I don't know them personally, but I've subscribed for years and really enjoy it.
	7:26am newton: ↳ Brian D @7:25 it sounds like a baby screaming being ripped apart by heyenas
	7:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:26 yes ...still reads bad animals...
	7:27am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:25 Ha!
	7:29am newton: App connects automatically to my car sound, and the previous show or last dong played persists on the screen (both car screen and phone) until I close and reopen the app AND actually get connection to the live. Up here there are lots of places where the signal drops out, and the phone freezes with whatever the last downloaded packet was
	7:30am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:26 I downloaded the old official app years ago. It still works for me, but I guess we're encouraged to use the newer unoffical app.
	7:31am newton: ↳ Brian D @7:25 We werwe both very alarmed. I got a high Pwer flashligh and shined it out the windows hoping to scare it away. The thing is there is a big hole in the lawn, which is on a slope, right there and I think it is a den.
	7:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:26 my in laws were friends with a conservative gov't counselor in chelsea, london, i became friendly with him, he owned a building in chelsea and let the ground floor be overrun with foxes until the neighbood commitee complained...story made the papers
	7:32am Brian D: ↳ newton @7:26 That's what my snoring sounds like... Seriously, that's awful.
	7:33am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & Saturday folks. Netanyahu's comments put me in mind of Henry Kissinger, when America bombed Cambodia/Laos secretly. Well secretly if you were not in either of those countries. An estimated 50,000+ dead. That deserves a peace prize.
	7:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:30 yes i downloaded new app for android just recently started using smartphone had flip phone
	7:34am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:32 In my middle of the night searches for info on foxes screams it came up a lot in London! Seems SW London had a lot of foxes, and all the people go online to post about it!
	7:34am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:33 Greetings Brian. And yes, two peas in a pod.
	7:34am dale: ↳ newton @7:31 leave her be. you may be rewarded with seeing 5 or 6 fox kits playing in the yard. they won't attack or anything.
	7:34am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:08 I've been in the wine business almost all of my life, in both retail and wholesale. Never been a sommelier though. Your bottle appears to be highly regarded. It's available in the US, but I haven't sold it.
	7:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:34 ah...sort of figured that would be the case
	7:35am Ken From Hyde Park: Zats, tonight is Fox's last show for this schedule. Hope I can catch at least part of it.
	7:35am Brian in UK: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:26 We have not come up with a new word to describe professional sport after the word amateur became redundant.
	7:37am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:08 Unfortunately, there's a cadre of US legislators primarily interested in posturing for their fans and not in doing any actual legislating.
	7:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dale @7:34 don't know the commonality of rabies with foxes, but did see a rabid fox in beacon one time
	7:38am fred: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:34 Have you ever listened to Tom Dash's show? It's not on the schedule these days, but he's a wine merchant
	7:39am Brian D: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @7:35 Yes, it is. Sad she won't be on this summer. But she'll be back. And may fill-in for me in July.
	7:40am dale: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:38 oh - scary for you. sad for him.
	7:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dale @7:40 was in a car ...it was in sad shape
	7:41am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:34 Thank you for the evaluation. I buy the pricier wines from Tesdorpf.de (est. in the 17th century no less!) which often has châteaus do special bottlings for it.
	7:42am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian in UK @7:35 How about: revenue-generating sport? Seems to fit the bill.
	7:43am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:38 Frances just had her hrabies boosts 2 weeks ago so OK for 3 years. Late night internet said mange might be more likely a problem, if one at all. So basically just keep away from them. Some people start feeding them, seems cold cuts are a go to food for foxes!
	7:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:43 the fox i saw was mangy but also out in the middle of the road in the middle of the day so figured rabies
	7:47am Don in Tampere: i'm of to the cobbler's flea market and the sauna festival. Have a great weekend, all!
	7:48am tom tom the pipers son: enjoy the day, don....
	7:48am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:47 You too, Don. Enjoy the day.
	7:49am newton: bye Don
	7:49am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:37 Unfortunately, there is some U.S. extra-territorial legislation that has considerable repressive effect. Mostly this legislation in enforced via the mighty Yankee dollar. American exceptionalism goes hand in hand with having the global Leitwährung (key reserve currency) in its power.
	7:50am ?: ↳ Song: "A Love International" by "Khruangbin" Morning from grey London Town, Brian and Currentists! Love the bass on these Khruangbin tracks!
	7:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:49 much talk about brics in europe?
	7:51am London Calling Francky: Oops forgot to sign in, lol! Let's do this again... Morning from grey London Town, Brian and Currentists! Love the bass on these Khruangbin tracks!
	7:52am newton: GOod morning LC Francky
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @7:51 You can say that again, LCF. Good day to you.
	7:52am London Calling Francky: ↳ Song: "Day of the Lords" by "Joy Division" Love the bass even more on anything by Joy Division!
	7:53am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:41 I checked out that website. They have a couple of other decent and decently priced Chatêauneufs as well. Check out the less expensive bottlings of Domaine Santa Duc, Domaine de Beaurenard, and Clos l'Oratoire if you haven't already. Love Rhône and other southern French wines.
	7:53am London Calling Francky: Morning Newton and Brian, how are we all doing?
	7:53am newton: ↳ London Calling Francky @7:52 Peter Hook did well by us
	7:55am newton: female foxes are called Vixen
	7:55am London Calling Francky: American vibez here in London Town this weekend: the MLB Circus has landed! Mets vs. Phillies at the London Stadium, normally home of West Ham... so weird!
	7:56am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @7:55 Haven't Hammers supporters suffered enough?
	7:56am newton: More corporate sports spectacle!
	7:57am tom tom the pipers son: that ws a good 'un
	7:58am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @7:56 Surely not as much as us QPR fans Brian :-D
	7:58am dale: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:46 i've seen the out in the day. doesn't mean anything. one was hit in the road and made it to my yard where i found him/her. there wasn't a mark on it, looks like it had just laid down to sleep. really one of the most beautiful animals i've seen.
	7:59am Will thee SG OCNY: Good morning Brian D and all!!!
	7:59am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @7:58 Could always be worse... Charlton Athletic.
	7:59am Brian D: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:59 Will!
	8:00am London Calling Francky: ↳ newton @7:56 You can say that! Huge batting Cages and ginormous screen showing ball games on a loop on Trafalgar Square is a very odd sight!
	8:01am newton: ↳ London Calling Francky @8:00 They keep the animals in cages just like the Circus!
	8:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dale @7:58 oh...one of my cats was very beautiful when it died mysteriously, must be how stupid humans get the stupid idea to stuff them
	8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:01 not cats, but animals in general
	8:03am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @7:59 You got a point there with Charlton Brian... or slightly further North, Birmingham City who are going down...
	8:04am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:51 BRICS only gets a mention in business rags. It has lost its gloss over the years, and no wonder, now that the 'post-war world order' has fallen apart. The Cold War détente between the Soviet Union and the U.S. seems paradisic compared to what's now facing us. Back to square one. Fukayama's pronouncement of the "end of history" has turned out to reveal itself to be euphoric hubris on the part of jubilantly expansive, borderless capital
	8:04am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @8:03 Birmingham are hiring former Celtic talent scout John Park.
	8:05am Erik/VT: Re Foxes🦊:living rurally, VT duh😉, see a lot of fox & kits and other wild animals. Fox are out & about all times of day and night. Often choose to lay down places randomly. Not usually ‘sick’. Curious and wonderful and resourceful creatures. We have a bunch of local old crows 🐦‍⬛ that fly above the foxes ‘scolding’ them.
	8:05am Brian in UK: ↳ London Calling Francky @8:03 Birmingham was a spectacular cock-up this last season.
	8:05am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 we seem to do a lot of stuffing, pharohs, that century where nearly every one was embalmed and burried in a polished box. Supreme court is stuffed with hay for brains
	8:06am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @8:05 ha!
	8:07am Michael of Cologne: ↳ newton @7:55 We had a class on unusual feminines in primary school when I was 8. Another unusual feminine is aviatrix.
	8:09am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @8:04 agree, so jubilant and borderless it's in space
	8:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Am the Fly" by "Wire" oh so good really just discovering wire, lucky boyme
	8:11am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @8:04 Talking of Celtic, I thought of you Brian: I was in Glasgow 2 weeks ago, for the first time ... fascinating city!
	8:12am newton: ↳ Michael of Cologne @8:07 As a stand alone sentence that is mysterious odd creepy and wonderful. Likely it is about the gendered language and not feminine icons.
	8:12am Erik/VT: @LCF; ha funnily enough, have a friend that is a New Hampshire transplant from NYC & a big METS fan. She is actually at that game. Also a typical U.S. of A. Anglophile - so planned her yearly trip around London & environs based on that Mets game. Sounds crazy to me. - meanwhile I’ve got the French Open tennis 🎾 on, in the background! 🥳🤓
	8:12am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian in UK @8:05 Yes, we at QPR were not far off cock-up wise, mind!
	8:12am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @8:11 Yes, it is. I love the energy there.
	8:13am HyperDose: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:01 After saying goodbye to my tuxie I closed his eyes and he was still the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. They really are majestic creatures
	8:14am tom tom the pipers son: mine was a tuxedo too
	8:14am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:09 The Medium oozes absolutely everywhere, seeps into our soul, poisons the Earth, And yet it remains invisible to today's thinking. The 'progressives' are all talking about Sustainable Development Goals and Human Flourishing. This is empty pep talk.
	8:15am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Brian! (On my raaaaa-diooo)
	8:15am Brian D: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @8:15 Greg! Greetings sir.
	8:16am Dan S: ↳ Song: "Radio Ga Ga" by "Queen" I love this song, but rarely hear it anymore. Thanks, Brian!
	8:16am London Calling Francky: ↳ Erik/VT @8:12 Yes, I have also heard of friends of friends who are flying to London for the Mets vs. Phillies game! Sounds like it is going to be huge! And I love Roland Garros, it is my fav Grand Chlem (that is how we French call a Grand Slam :-D)
	8:16am Re6ecca: Good morning! Great set!!!
	8:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @8:14 agree, it's still feeding moloch
	8:17am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @8:12 Yes, agreed, really great energy in Glasgow City! And truly lived up to its reputation as one of the friendliest cities in the World!
	8:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:16 in the metropolis sense but also the biblical sense as witnessed in gaza
	8:22am Fredericks: What movie is Brian talking about?
	8:22am Fredericks: Never mind.
	8:23am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @8:22 "Robot Dreams"

	8:23am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @8:22 filmforum.org...
	8:24am Brian D: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @8:23 Ain't it something?
	8:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Let's Go" by "The Feelies" groovy
	8:27am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "After The Fall" by "John Doe" Tuned in at 8.18am. Missed this song. But I told John Doe that the big takeover mag wrote so glowingly of “dim stars bright sky”(title?) that I ran out to buy. “ I Couldn’t find it. But Kim’s video had it, at $17.98 ($18.98?). First time I paid list price for a cd!”. He visibly winced.
	8:27am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Brian D @8:23 New office is 2 blocks from Film Forum, so I’ve been spending A LOT of time there.
	8:28am Brian D: ↳ Greg from ZONE 5 @8:27 There are worse places to hang out.
	8:29am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @8:27 Kim's! Those were simpler times. Good morning, Herb.
	8:29am herb.nyc: I was THAT close to seeing Robot Dreams on Thur. But the m20 bus messed up my sked And I’m late today bec I played okkervil river “the stage names” cd. They play here tomw. I hope to go

	8:30am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @8:29 Boker tov, Brian (my great nephew goes to a bar-mitzvah today)
	8:30am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @8:30 Don't take the M20.
	8:32am Ken From Hyde Park: RIP, William Anders, astronaut who took the "Earthrise" photo from Apollo 8. Died the other day in a plane crash. www.nasa.gov...
	8:32am herb.nyc: Brian, did film forum show the short “thanks” video for retiring Karen cooper?
	8:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ HyperDose @8:29 buried kitty w/ bad bats maru sanrio doll
	8:33am newton: Gosh, I remember when the film forum was on Watts st
	8:34am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @8:30 Got on the m7, running on same avenue. And asked driver. “It’s right behind me” and he let me on. I exited at 14th and looked. NO m20. Haha
	8:35am gone with the wind: 😩

	8:40am newton: ↳ dale @8:35 Frass! Yes a word for insect poo
	8:41am Dan S: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @8:32 RIP William Anders. At the ripe old age age of 90. Yeah, kind of ironic, dying in a plane crash after having safely flown to the Moon and back.
	8:42am newton: ↳ herb.nyc @8:37 at first I thought you meant Alfred E Newman
