	6:25am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:17 I guess it depends of the kind of green. Environmentalist green or dollar green?

	6:47am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:42 My current top 5: Sabotage Experiment IV Cloudbusting Tokyo Calling Muppet Bolt
	⚡ 6:53am William Hellfire: Halloween is a big deal!!! Putting on my vampire cape in protest....once the cat is off my lap.
	6:55am Toothgrinder Tom: Yeah it’s a hoot. Trying to get there today.
	⚡ 6:57am William Hellfire: I got my Big Black Racer x vinyl at the WFMU record fair.
	6:59am fred: This week my questionable impulse was to buy a subscription to yet another dance venue. They don't have that many shows, but I already got even with two shows next Friday (I'll miss arb's show though)
	7:07am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:59 Stepping away from the radio? Shame on you!
	⚡ 7:07am tom tom the pipers son: i don't agree that walker evans is defined by his wpa photos
	7:08am Toothgrinder Tom: @fred a subscription to a dance venue? What does that entail?
	⚡ 7:10am tom tom the pipers son: for example his polaroids have been widely exhibited
	7:12am rich in angleton: good morning brian! hello everybody!
	⚡ 7:15am tom tom the pipers son: evans photos, secretly taken on the subway are slso widely known
	7:15am fred: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:08 It depends. In some cases it's buying a bunch of tickets far ahead at reduced price (like in June for the coming September-July season), in others it's paying upfront for a rebate on shows, sometimes with booking priority, sometimes not
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:12 Hey Rich!
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:15 I think her point is, that's the first stuff people think of with Evans.
	⚡ 7:17am tom tom the pipers son: this first photo looks like an evans polaroid
	7:18am fred: ↳ fred @7:15 I should clarify that I mean contemporary dance shows, not a club. As in I'm not dancing, I watch skilled people do that
	7:21am Lixiviated Life: ↳ fred @7:18 I always feel like dancing, but i can’t get my body to follow my heart
	⚡ 7:22am Michael of Cologne: G'day Brian, Tom Tom and all.
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:16 the general public doesn't think about evans at all and i think the people who do know of him see the wpa as just a chapter
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:22 hello micheal...
	7:24am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:22 Hallo Michael!
	7:25am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:22 I hope the first part isn't true, but agree on the second. For the record, the exhibition includes a few Evans' paintings so it goes far beyond his wpa work.
	⚡ 7:25am Spikey BXL: 🇺🇦Слава Україні! Героям слава!🇺🇦
	7:27am fred: ↳ Lixiviated Life @7:21 I know it's not the mind-body problem, but it's my mind-body problem (I gave up though so dance is an art form for me)
	⚡ 7:29am tom tom the pipers son: not saying her work doesn't have merit but the work but the statement feels like a prop and makes me suspicious of her hitching her work to walker's wagon to splay a metaphor
	7:30am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:29 That's harsh, Tom. She's honoring it. Truly.
	7:34am TDK60: "Compromise"? With fascists? Nah.
	7:35am Brian D: Ana's exhibition at the Met: www.metmuseum.org...
	7:35am Toothgrinder Tom: @fred I see - interesting!
	⚡ 7:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:30 if the exhibit was at icp i would probably not be as critical but the cultural machinations for a mostly unknown artist to have a show at an institution like the met raises a red flag for me.... and like i said i'm not saying the work on its own doesn't have merit..
	7:37am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:29 I think if Evans is truly forgotten -- and, sadly, I think you're right about that -- contemporary artists bringing attention to it is a good thing.
	7:37am FloridaMan: Thank you Brian for the Interview this morning and your show in general. We look forward to it.
	7:38am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:37 There's a story behind that: www.nytimes.com...
	⚡ 7:38am NotARealDoctor: Good morning, Brian, fellow surfers of the Currents. Just me and Big Dog at the dog park today, Old Man is home with a back injury today
	7:39am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:37 It's valid to criticize the Met for overlooking certain artists, but we have to acknowledge when the museum bucks its own trend.
	7:41am Brian D: ↳ FloridaMan @7:37 Thank you, FloridaMan.
	7:41am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:38 Greetings, NotAReal.
	7:43am Dan near StL: Houston Art Museum had a wonderful exhibit of signs that Walker Evans collected, Coca Cola, etc. Most of them appear in his photographs.
	⚡ 7:44am NotARealDoctor: Great interview this morning, tuned in just in time for part 1, slept late this morning, it was nice
	7:44am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @7:43 Wow. I'd love to see that.
	7:45am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:44 Thank you. Ana is great. And patient with my butchering of her name.
	7:47am ∫ydniuß: oh good lord my precious eyes
	⚡ 7:47am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Grey Rubble - Green Shoots" by "Godspeed You! Bla... GYBE <3
	⚡ 7:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:38 yeah, interesting, but another red flag...going from met to saatchi gallery
	7:47am Dan near StL: I wish the MET would show more of her work on their website. I’ll track down her book. “It takes a outsider…” from film, “Spotlight” comes to mind listening to her talk about documenting US.
	7:49am ∫ydniuß: my saviour rightclick delete>node I love you
	7:49am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @7:47 The book is beautiful. As is Image Cities.
	7:50am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:47 Respect your opinion. Always.
	7:51am Dan near StL: Imagine a version of Disney World in Russia? Very Bruce McCall, surreal idea.
	⚡ 7:52am NotARealDoctor: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:47 Tell me about Saatchi? I'm a bit of a philistine I'm afraid and have no idea what that means
	7:52am FloridaMan: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:47 why is saatchi gallery a red flag?
	7:53am fred: ↳ Song: "Grey Rubble - Green Shoots" by "Godspeed You! Bla... GY!BE remain instantly identifiable. Which is part of why I haven't seen them in ages. Just too expensive for something I've heard before
	⚡ 7:54am Will thee SG OCNY: Good morning Brian D and all!!!
	7:54am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:53 I may be seeing them later this month.
	7:54am Brian D: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:54 Good morning, Will.
	7:55am Dan near StL: “No Mercy” for whom one wonders, with confederate flag. I met some very, very young racists late one night in Naples, FL. Shocking to hear, Kid Rock fans.
	7:56am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @7:55 There's a lot to unpack with that dude's body art.
	⚡ 7:56am Spikey BXL: ↳ fred @7:53 I found out I missed their BXL show three days after the date. Would have tried a last minute ticketswap if I had known.
	⚡ 7:57am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ FloridaMan @7:52 i don't know if you remember his 'sensation' exhibit but it was a quite sleazy example of a gallerist showing their private collection in a museum setting to inflat value...
	7:57am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Dan near StL @7:55 film at 11 indeed
	7:58am Handy Haversack: Morning, Brian, Currentsers. Up early this Sat. because I'm volunteering at Record Fair. Shoot, better get some food in me!
	⚡ 7:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:52 hi see my comment at 7:57
	7:58am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @7:58 Handy! See you there, sir.
	⚡ 7:59am NotARealDoctor: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:58 aha i did, understood, I'll have to look that up
	8:00am Dan near StL: That last image reminds me of “Don’t Look Now!” by Nicolas Roeg. Haunting.
	⚡ 8:00am Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @7:58 Have a wonderful day, Handy!
	8:01am earache: Good morning Brian, et al. Anyone else catch the live Cure show yesterday on YT?
	⚡ 8:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @8:00 right... just a red slicker needed
	8:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ Brian D @7:58 Nice! I'm on the Dollar Table 9:30-1.
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Handy Haversack @7:58 cheers...
	8:02am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:02 Have fun. Ticket booth 12:30-4.
	8:03am Dan near StL: Another great set, interview Brian, thanks.
	8:03am Doug in MP: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:02 Handy! We heard you on the radio yesterday
	8:03am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @8:03 Thank you, Dan. Glad you enjoyed.
	8:04am fred: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:56 I have a special fondness for them: at one of their shows, I was handed a flyer for a venue I didn't know, advertising a Charlemagne Palestine show. I've been to that place many hundred times since (as Yogi Berra didn't say, if I'm not there, it's because I'm somewhere else)
	⚡ 8:07am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:04 and it's always crowded "there"
	8:09am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:07 That's why nobody goes anymore
	⚡ 8:09am Will thee SG OCNY: we're going later today
	8:09am Dan near StL: At least this cover doesn’t sound like the note for note mega hit recent cover.
	8:11am fred: ↳ Dan near StL @8:09 That cover wasn't interesting, but got her well deserved flowers
	8:11am dale: i'l bet this singer WAS drunk in that car....morning.
	⚡ 8:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:09 no one goes "somewhere else" its much better, you just take the fork in the road...
	8:12am Dan near StL: True Fred
	⚡ 8:12am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Fast Car" by "withershins" Nice rendition of this piece.
	8:13am Dan near StL: Talking About A Revolution, play it Tues.
	⚡ 8:15am tom tom the pipers son: no one writes to the colonel is a garcia marquez title, i believe
	8:16am Dan near StL: For a brief time St. Louis Art Museum discounted many of there past exhibit catalogs to $5 each.
	⚡ 8:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:15 checked....good
	8:20am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:17 Thanks for the literary assist. I'm clearly a cretin.
	8:20am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @8:16 Is that where Andy Goldsworthy's sculpture is?
	⚡ 8:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:20 lance loud...??!!! @8:20. oh shut up...(in best jack benny voice)
	8:21am fred: ↳ Dan near StL @8:16 That was my strategy back when I went to many exhibits. Wait for the end of season sale (usually in June or July) and get catalogs at heavily discounted prices
	8:23am Listener John from NJ: ↳ Song: "Полковнику никто не пишет (No One Writes to the C... The language of the Russian title is simple and straightforward, like the English title. The book by GGM has a Spanish title that's convoluted. I don't remember it exactly in Spanish, but the literal translation into Enlish is something like "The Colonel has nobody who writes to him."
	⚡ 8:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener John from NJ @8:23 i like the awkwardness... it has a pathetic quality
	⚡ 8:26am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Morning Birds 1" by "Throwing Muses" had a crush on Tanya in my college days
	8:28am Dan near StL: Yes, Brian. The new director started with a terrific, comprehensive history of Hip Hop, joint show with Baltimore Art Museum. It may be traveling your way soon. “Culture…” it’s called.
	⚡ 8:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Morning At Midnight" by "Jack White" doesn't it seem like jack white lives a charmed life...he almost levitates...
	⚡ 8:29am newton: good mornign brian

	6:25am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:17 I guess it depends of the kind of green. Environmentalist green or dollar green?
	⚡ 6:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Good Feelings" by "Paul Dunmall, Paul Rogers,... like the playing on this...sax
	6:26am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:25 All too right.

	⚡ 6:57am William Hellfire: I got my Big Black Racer x vinyl at the WFMU record fair.
	6:59am fred: This week my questionable impulse was to buy a subscription to yet another dance venue. They don't have that many shows, but I already got even with two shows next Friday (I'll miss arb's show though)
	7:07am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:59 Stepping away from the radio? Shame on you!
	⚡ 7:07am tom tom the pipers son: i don't agree that walker evans is defined by his wpa photos
	7:08am Toothgrinder Tom: @fred a subscription to a dance venue? What does that entail?
	⚡ 7:10am tom tom the pipers son: for example his polaroids have been widely exhibited
	7:12am rich in angleton: good morning brian! hello everybody!
	⚡ 7:15am tom tom the pipers son: evans photos, secretly taken on the subway are slso widely known
	7:15am fred: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:08 It depends. In some cases it's buying a bunch of tickets far ahead at reduced price (like in June for the coming September-July season), in others it's paying upfront for a rebate on shows, sometimes with booking priority, sometimes not
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:12 Hey Rich!
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:15 I think her point is, that's the first stuff people think of with Evans.
	⚡ 7:17am tom tom the pipers son: this first photo looks like an evans polaroid
	7:18am fred: ↳ fred @7:15 I should clarify that I mean contemporary dance shows, not a club. As in I'm not dancing, I watch skilled people do that
	7:21am Lixiviated Life: ↳ fred @7:18 I always feel like dancing, but i can’t get my body to follow my heart
	⚡ 7:22am Michael of Cologne: G'day Brian, Tom Tom and all.
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:16 the general public doesn't think about evans at all and i think the people who do know of him see the wpa as just a chapter
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:22 hello micheal...
	7:24am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:22 Hallo Michael!
	7:25am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:22 I hope the first part isn't true, but agree on the second. For the record, the exhibition includes a few Evans' paintings so it goes far beyond his wpa work.
	⚡ 7:25am Spikey BXL: 🇺🇦Слава Україні! Героям слава!🇺🇦
	7:27am fred: ↳ Lixiviated Life @7:21 I know it's not the mind-body problem, but it's my mind-body problem (I gave up though so dance is an art form for me)
	⚡ 7:29am tom tom the pipers son: not saying her work doesn't have merit but the work but the statement feels like a prop and makes me suspicious of her hitching her work to walker's wagon to splay a metaphor
	7:30am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:29 That's harsh, Tom. She's honoring it. Truly.
	7:34am TDK60: "Compromise"? With fascists? Nah.
	7:35am Brian D: Ana's exhibition at the Met: www.metmuseum.org...
	7:35am Toothgrinder Tom: @fred I see - interesting!
	⚡ 7:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:30 if the exhibit was at icp i would probably not be as critical but the cultural machinations for a mostly unknown artist to have a show at an institution like the met raises a red flag for me.... and like i said i'm not saying the work on its own doesn't have merit..
	7:37am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:29 I think if Evans is truly forgotten -- and, sadly, I think you're right about that -- contemporary artists bringing attention to it is a good thing.
	7:37am FloridaMan: Thank you Brian for the Interview this morning and your show in general. We look forward to it.
	7:38am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:37 There's a story behind that: www.nytimes.com...
	⚡ 7:38am NotARealDoctor: Good morning, Brian, fellow surfers of the Currents. Just me and Big Dog at the dog park today, Old Man is home with a back injury today
	7:39am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:37 It's valid to criticize the Met for overlooking certain artists, but we have to acknowledge when the museum bucks its own trend.
	7:41am Brian D: ↳ FloridaMan @7:37 Thank you, FloridaMan.
	7:41am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:38 Greetings, NotAReal.
	7:43am Dan near StL: Houston Art Museum had a wonderful exhibit of signs that Walker Evans collected, Coca Cola, etc. Most of them appear in his photographs.

	7:44am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @7:43 Wow. I'd love to see that.

	7:47am ∫ydniuß: oh good lord my precious eyes
	⚡ 7:47am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Grey Rubble - Green Shoots" by "Godspeed You! Bla... GYBE <3
	⚡ 7:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:38 yeah, interesting, but another red flag...going from met to saatchi gallery
	7:47am Dan near StL: I wish the MET would show more of her work on their website. I’ll track down her book. “It takes a outsider…” from film, “Spotlight” comes to mind listening to her talk about documenting US.
	7:49am ∫ydniuß: my saviour rightclick delete>node I love you
	7:49am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @7:47 The book is beautiful. As is Image Cities.
	7:50am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:47 Respect your opinion. Always.
	7:51am Dan near StL: Imagine a version of Disney World in Russia? Very Bruce McCall, surreal idea.
	⚡ 7:52am NotARealDoctor: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:47 Tell me about Saatchi? I'm a bit of a philistine I'm afraid and have no idea what that means
	7:52am FloridaMan: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:47 why is saatchi gallery a red flag?
	7:53am fred: ↳ Song: "Grey Rubble - Green Shoots" by "Godspeed You! Bla... GY!BE remain instantly identifiable. Which is part of why I haven't seen them in ages. Just too expensive for something I've heard before
	⚡ 7:54am Will thee SG OCNY: Good morning Brian D and all!!!
	7:54am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:53 I may be seeing them later this month.
	7:54am Brian D: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:54 Good morning, Will.
	7:55am Dan near StL: “No Mercy” for whom one wonders, with confederate flag. I met some very, very young racists late one night in Naples, FL. Shocking to hear, Kid Rock fans.
	7:56am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @7:55 There's a lot to unpack with that dude's body art.
	⚡ 7:56am Spikey BXL: ↳ fred @7:53 I found out I missed their BXL show three days after the date. Would have tried a last minute ticketswap if I had known.
	⚡ 7:57am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ FloridaMan @7:52 i don't know if you remember his 'sensation' exhibit but it was a quite sleazy example of a gallerist showing their private collection in a museum setting to inflat value...
	7:57am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Dan near StL @7:55 film at 11 indeed
	7:58am Handy Haversack: Morning, Brian, Currentsers. Up early this Sat. because I'm volunteering at Record Fair. Shoot, better get some food in me!

	7:58am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @7:58 Handy! See you there, sir.
	⚡ 7:59am NotARealDoctor: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:58 aha i did, understood, I'll have to look that up
	8:00am Dan near StL: That last image reminds me of “Don’t Look Now!” by Nicolas Roeg. Haunting.
	⚡ 8:00am Spikey BXL: ↳ Handy Haversack @7:58 Have a wonderful day, Handy!
	8:01am earache: Good morning Brian, et al. Anyone else catch the live Cure show yesterday on YT?
	⚡ 8:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @8:00 right... just a red slicker needed

	8:03am Doug in MP: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:02 Handy! We heard you on the radio yesterday
	8:03am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @8:03 Thank you, Dan. Glad you enjoyed.
	8:04am fred: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:56 I have a special fondness for them: at one of their shows, I was handed a flyer for a venue I didn't know, advertising a Charlemagne Palestine show. I've been to that place many hundred times since (as Yogi Berra didn't say, if I'm not there, it's because I'm somewhere else)
	⚡ 8:07am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:04 and it's always crowded "there"
	8:09am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:07 That's why nobody goes anymore
	⚡ 8:09am Will thee SG OCNY: we're going later today
	8:09am Dan near StL: At least this cover doesn’t sound like the note for note mega hit recent cover.
	8:11am fred: ↳ Dan near StL @8:09 That cover wasn't interesting, but got her well deserved flowers
	8:11am dale: i'l bet this singer WAS drunk in that car....morning.
	⚡ 8:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:09 no one goes "somewhere else" its much better, you just take the fork in the road...
	8:12am Dan near StL: True Fred
	⚡ 8:12am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Fast Car" by "withershins" Nice rendition of this piece.

	8:21am fred: ↳ Dan near StL @8:16 That was my strategy back when I went to many exhibits. Wait for the end of season sale (usually in June or July) and get catalogs at heavily discounted prices
	8:23am Listener John from NJ: ↳ Song: "Полковнику никто не пишет (No One Writes to the C... The language of the Russian title is simple and straightforward, like the English title. The book by GGM has a Spanish title that's convoluted. I don't remember it exactly in Spanish, but the literal translation into Enlish is something like "The Colonel has nobody who writes to him."
	⚡ 8:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Listener John from NJ @8:23 i like the awkwardness... it has a pathetic quality
	⚡ 8:26am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Morning Birds 1" by "Throwing Muses" had a crush on Tanya in my college days
	8:28am Dan near StL: Yes, Brian. The new director started with a terrific, comprehensive history of Hip Hop, joint show with Baltimore Art Museum. It may be traveling your way soon. “Culture…” it’s called.
	⚡ 8:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Morning At Midnight" by "Jack White" doesn't it seem like jack white lives a charmed life...he almost levitates...
