Listener comments!
	6:01am TDK60: Morning, Brian. "Sketches"!
	6:02am duke: Hi Brian and those swimming against the currents
	6:02am LiXiviated Life: “It’s mourning in America “
	6:05am Brian D: TDK, Duke, Lix, all. Good morning and mourning.
	6:05am TDK60: Adagio for a failed nation? I'd say yes.
	⚡ 6:07am Bobby: Hello Brian and the currently engaged
	6:07am fred: Good morning Brian and all. Not a great week news wise I guess. RIP Ukraine, Palestine, Lebanon, vaccines, windmills, abortion, inhabitable Earth, and more...
	6:08am Strandlund: Hello everybody...
	6:09am Strandlund: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:02 Well said...
	6:10am LiXiviated Life: I’ve been thinking back to when Ronald Reagan was elected. A lot of anxious feelings then.
	6:10am morphe': Attuned...
	6:11am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers. The fire has been lit. 🔥
	6:11am Brian D: Good morning Bobby, Fred, Strand, Morphe... Bad week for news, but hopefully a good one for music...
	6:12am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @6:11 Greetings Cooh. Yes, you can smell it in the air.
	6:14am fred: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:10 He was not as apocalyptic as feared, but he did a lot of damage, including breaking the unions.
	6:15am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:14 Plus, you know, the Central American death squads.
	6:16am LiXiviated Life: Reagan was selling the same story about a new America based on tradition and a Hollywood view of the past. (we as a nation love the Hollywood America) I feel that we were looking for that again But This time we got maybe the Anti-Reagan. I think the best outcome will be If we all live to regret it
	6:19am TDK60: I am in full agreement with Noam Chomsky's statement that the Republican Party is the most dangerous organization in human history.
	6:23am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:15 He didn't start these though, Kissinger (Rot In Piss) predated him
	6:24am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:23 Fair enough. But he made sure they got paid.
	6:24am LiXiviated Life: “ and so it goes” - K. Vonnegut
	6:24am Billybob: Are dissenting opinions welcome at WFMU? Never mind. I know the answer to that one.
	6:25am LiXiviated Life: Hi BillyBob
	6:27am Brian D: ↳ Billybob @6:24 Yes
	⚡ 6:28am William Hellfire: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:24 Welcome to the monkey house.. six finger satellite does a really cool song based on that.
	6:29am fred: ↳ Billybob @6:24 You will get backlash at this time, but I think anything you say (apart for gloating, please don't) should be taken seriously, as we obviously are out of touch with many
	6:30am fred: ↳ Song: "Little Karen" by "Quincy Jones and His Orchestra" RIP Quincy (and I don't mean it the Kissinger way)
	6:34am annette: sad to say, but parties are archaic. lets just stop quibbling and talk whilst enjoying sweet tunes.
	6:35am Brian D: ↳ annette @6:34 I find when we talk -- and listen -- we often find we agree on more than we think.
	6:35am LiXiviated Life: @ Annette I can absolutely do that 🙂
	⚡ 6:35am newton: mourning brian
	6:36am LiXiviated Life: The sun is up
	6:36am Billybob: ↳ fred @6:29 I've tried, and very respectfully, if I do say so myself...and then had my comments removed (because I'm a fascist, apparently). On one board, several of the commenters posted that they wanted Trump and anyone who supports him, executed. The DJ seemed to agree. That was what I was up against.
	6:37am annette: correction . WFMU party on board. waffles on the house, here. lol
	6:37am Otto: Good morning guys and gals, nice place ya got heah
	6:39am Fredericks: ↳ Billybob @6:24 No one banned you or threatened you, did they?
	6:40am annette: @LIX did ja see the stars this morn ? took me back to harpswell
	⚡ 6:41am Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Billybob @6:36 Billy Bob - you exaggerate - no one has down that - you only come in the boards to troll and gloat which is why you should be ignored
	⚡ 6:42am Michael of Cologne: G'day Brian & all. The shares of J.P.Morgan jumped up almost 12% on one day on news of the convincing democratic Trump victory. This seems to say it all about who, or rather, what won.
	⚡ 6:42am William Hellfire: Awww both cats came to listen to the radio. Brian you got the cars together!!!
	⚡ 6:44am newton: I was here yesterday billybob. I engaged with you, you even agreed with me, but I have to say your comments are ill timed and insensitive. Also unnecessary. It does seem you are here to gloat, and you are not respectful of the space for what is surely the majority on this forum to grieve. I did not see your comments removed, you were not censored
	⚡ 6:45am newton: ↳ newton @6:44 sorry, actually it was thursday on Trouble's show
	6:45am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:35 Belated good morning, Newton.
	6:45am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:42 Hallo, Michael.
	6:46am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:42 I'm huge with cats.
	6:47am Billybob: ↳ Fredericks @6:39 Yes. The DJ said "OK, Billybob, you have to go. Your comments will be removed." And they were. And it wasn't like I started the debate. The DJ and some commenters said a few things I wanted to counter, so I joined in. There was even some other poster who used my name to make comments to try to make me sound stupid. Those comments actually stayed in place. Apparently, comments get removed based on IP address, not user name.
	6:49am Hyper Driver: Amazing to wake up to Nikki Giovanni. Took a class from her at Virginia Tech - she speaks with such a clarity of vision.
	6:49am fred: ↳ Billybob @6:47 Your comments on Trouble's show are still up (I just checked) I think banning/removal is indeed based on IP, otherwise it was way too easy for a troll to get someone else removed
	6:50am Brian D: ↳ Hyper Driver @6:49 I have been OBSESSED with her since I saw the 2023 documentary about her.
	⚡ 6:50am Will thee SG OCNY: Good morning Brian D and all!!!
	6:50am annette: dont know you all, but this is our comfort music couch. we keep it this way.
	⚡ 6:51am Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Billybob @6:47 Your comments were not remotely Ed - stop lying www.wfmu.org...
	⚡ 6:51am Marley P. Dogg: * not removed
	6:51am Brian D: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @6:50 Hey Will!
	6:54am radioronan: Good morning Brian & everyone..
	6:54am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:50 I first heard her on a Soul Jazz comp called Fly Girls! Since then I pay attention when I hear or see her name, and haven't been dissapointed
	6:55am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Conversation (How I Got Over)" by "Nikki Giovanni... Nikki Giovanni will be performing at the Brooklyn Folk Festival this weekend.
	6:56am Billybob: ↳ newton @6:44 I was referring to a show last week. But yesterday, I was just trying to explain my side. I might've said something like it's time to reassess where the D party went wrong. But maybe I should've let you guys mourn. Maybe I was kicking a dog when it's down (not that I would ever kick a dog ;) ) But sometimes I see my side as completely misinterpreted, and get a little pissed, especially after hearing my side called fascist and Hitler for far too many years, and need to get a few things out, too.
	6:57am annette: Brian, my hearing loss giving me brain typos. no apologies needed. enjoy it. lots of fun in later years
	⚡ 6:59am newton: Billybob, it is at the very least insensitive, cruel and inappropriate to perform an amateur autopsy in the middle of a funeral in front of the bereaved. If you are genuine and sincere you might do well to wait a week or two before engaging such discussions
	6:59am Hyper Driver: Well, thank you for playing her (Nikki)! Wonderful to hear on this Saturday morning. Hope everybody’s going to find something good in today!
	⚡ 6:59am William Hellfire: Friends and fiends the human race is garbage. Have you seen Salo:120 days of Sodom ...remake of alls quiet on the western front plage dogs....orca...king Kong... Godzilla....last house on the left...new order...no matter how you slice it we are awful. Luckily we will all be executed we all have an expectation date. God killed everybody now what. None of it matters. Let's just get loaded and listen to the music. Be nice be mean but we are all doomed and nothing happens when you die.
	6:59am Otto: Resist the autocrats! Don’t rat out your neighbors!!! (You may need their help someday…)
	7:00am fred: ↳ Billybob @6:56 I read some of your comments, and some made a lot of sense to me. Some were ill-timed I guess, some places are more receptive than others (I think this is one, but expect to be fact-checked, even from people agreeing, even though in your case that might not be many)
	7:00am Brian D: ↳ radioronan @6:54 Hello Ronan!
	⚡ 7:00am Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Billybob @6:56 Which show? Last week? Sounds made up. Don’t feed the trolls people
	7:01am Fredericks: ↳ Billybob @6:56 If what the republicans are doing is not fascist, how do you define it? The misinformation/propaganda, the violent rhetoric, the scapegoating?
	7:01am Billybob: ↳ Marley P. Dogg @6:51 Do I really need to name the DJ who removed my comments? But that's what I'm talking about: "Stop lying". Really? That's where the unwelcome thing comes in. I'm being pretty respectful here, and you're calling me a liar.
	⚡ 7:01am Marley P. Dogg: Facts are facts - last week? Sounds made up
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:54 I was familiar with her before the documentary, but the film really gave me new perspective on her. Increased my already high admiration for her.
	⚡ 7:03am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and everyone. Recommendations for a good country for political asylum? Asking for a friend.
	7:03am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @6:55 Well, my B.F.F. post card/flyer ad says she's to perform but I just looked at the B.F.F. site's schedule and don't see her name there. [?] Unless I can't read this morn.
	7:03am annette: geeze...are you so needy that you gotta ruin music with your yer stoopid stuff ? go find another place to slither
	7:04am pgalub: Hey Brian and everyone. Nice to be here.
	7:04am rich in angleton: hello brian! hello everybody out in radio land and all the ships at sea etc etc..
	7:04am Re6ecca: Pretty cover song
	7:05am morphe': Listener Meetup Saturday, Nov 9, 2-5pm Green Oasis Community Garden 370 East 8 Street [Ave C/D] Sat Nov 9 = 2-5pm Fire [not BBQ] BYO: Beer/Wine/Spliffs/Pot-Luck children A-ok dogs on leads Carry in Carry out rubbish Big bag will be there for cans and bottles a box for paper/cartons.. but bring own wee rubbish bags for small rubbish ..

	7:05am TDK60: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:03 Mexico just elected its first woman president. A Jew. The country just might be headed in a more progressive direction than the so-called greatest democracy.
	⚡ 7:07am Bobby: @Billybob politics aside, I think that an hour during this show talking about your comments that were also main events on at least two other shows seems like evidence that you are getting plenty of attention. Even more attention than Miles Davis in here.
	7:09am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:03 Hi Peter... You're close to one...
	⚡ 7:09am tom tom the pipers son: greetings brian and all
	7:10am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @7:04 Mr. Galub! I saw you Saturday but was immediately swept into my volunteer task and couldn't say hi.
	7:10am fred: ↳ Billybob @7:01 No, they're fact checking you, which I warned you about. I haven't been online much this week, so I may well have missed when your comments were removed (that happens more than you think, and for more trivial reasons) When someone's comments are deleted, there are traces (unfortunately for me, as once my reply looked like it was about something else which took an embarrassing meaning)
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:04 Rich, meet Re6ecca ;-). And ain't it, though, Re6ecca.
	⚡ 7:11am Michael of Cologne: ↳ William Hellfire @6:59 There's something in what you say, more than is comfortable or comforting for anyone trying to salvage any vestige of hope for the better.
	7:12am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:05 I am going to try to make a cameo with the Currents Canine Contingent, Morphe. May not be able to swing it, though.
	7:12am pgalub: ↳ Brian D @7:10 Ah, next time! Hope you had a fun time. It was busy, busy, busy!
	7:12am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @7:07 Bobby, off-topic, will I be seeing you Thursday?
	7:12am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:09 Good morning, Tom Tom.
	7:13am Billybob: ↳ Marley P. Dogg @7:01 Not made up. It was in October, so not post-election. I just looked. Here's an excerpt of what someone else said: "he's not worth the taxpayers' expense. like trump, who should be executed as the law provides for for traitors, he should be dead. and all trump's supporters as well".
	⚡ 7:13am Bobby: ↳ Brian D @7:12 If you are going to be at the place we are both thinking of right now, you will!
	⚡ 7:14am Will thee SG OCNY: I don't like politics.... but we need to get rid of citizens united... it allows corporations to 'donate' far too much to elections. essentially they are buying their vote. We were supposed to be a democratic republic by the people, for the people. It seems as now we only have a twisted oligarchy that the ruling class, the rich, and corporations have the power. They use division in both parties to keep us from uniting and realizing that if you were just talking with your neighbor you would have much more in common than you would think. I just hope we all survive the next 4 years and then some... end political rant
	⚡ 7:14am newton: ↳ William Hellfire @6:59 Agreed, but I do think that before we die we get to do something, and it is that something that we do that is important and makes meaning, at least for us and some other few, for a brief time before being totally forgotten
	7:15am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Clip: ABC4 Utah-Idaho Health Department votes aga... Idaho crossed off the visit list.
	7:15am ?: "Billy Bob" is here to get attention and, like other members of his cohort, to force his will onto other people. He is also the textbook definition of a troll. I somewhat admire the repeated attempts to reasonably engage with him but I think you will soon find it is futile.
	⚡ 7:16am tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry How to Smile, Flatter and Barter Is Capturing America Facing a Pitiless Terrain Adapting to Anything and Prepping for A Long Global Trail of Resentment Unfolding as a Muted Reboot and Other Strange Rituals of the Theater World In a New Wave of Digital Nomadism at Luxury Mountain Apartments in Switzerland
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @7:12 I had a blast. You?
	⚡ 7:16am newton: ↳ Billybob @7:13 BB all you've accomplished is providing evidence that you are a serial troll, with no good intentions. You are here to make it all about you.
	⚡ 7:18am Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Billybob @7:13 “Excerpt”? Which show? Provide the link.
	7:18am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @7:13 Yes, and YES. Looking forward to it.
	7:18am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:01 I'd love to see that, but I guess that's not in the cards There's a monthly film night at work, I'd love to suggest that, but I'd be the only one attending (it's very very white). Maybe not even me, I'm usually at a show after work (4 a week on average these days)
	⚡ 7:19am Bobby: ↳ Brian D @7:18 Likewise!
	7:19am Otto: ? is spot on. Ignore and DON’T feed the trolls…DO enjoy the music 🎶
	⚡ 7:20am NotARealDoctor: Good morning Brian D and fellow surfers of the currents. Tuning in this morning from Ridgefield Park this morning.
	7:20am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:18 www.documentary.org...
	⚡ 7:21am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:16 When I was in college I found a book called 50,000 useful phrases that I used to randomly compose poems, just opening the pages randomly and blindly landing my finger on a phrase. IT was a fun method. Yours is better, it allows the strings to be more timely and resonate.
	⚡ 7:21am bradford: Good morning Brian & all.
	7:22am Katharsis: hellos
	7:22am Billybob: ↳ newton @7:16 This is what I mean by "unwelcome". I was just going to leave it at my first comment (more like a statement), but then, others began responding to me. Should I have just ignored them?
	⚡ 7:22am NotARealDoctor: it was very cool to drive into town and hear WFMU on the terrestrial radio for the first time ever
	7:23am Doug in MP: Trolls need attention to survive. Ignore them and they'll get bored and go away.
	7:24am fred: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:14 Remember that by "we the people" those esteemed founding fathers meant landowning white men. They were opposed to the hints of corporations, but mainly because that concept threatened their personal ownership status
	⚡ 7:25am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Billybob @7:22 Your comments on the other program merited your removal.
	⚡ 7:25am tom tom the pipers son: nikki giovanni has been around since an era which i think was called the black arts movement that sprung many back talents like ntozake shange and others...she's been a known respected quantity for a long time... its great to see a resurgence of interest
	⚡ 7:26am NotARealDoctor: ↳ newton @7:21 Both of these are fantastic methods for composing poems
	7:26am annette: geeze we are here to escape the heavy. put butter in the pan. toast a waffle add egg .add music. get yer egg outta yer ass
	⚡ 7:27am Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Billybob @7:22 Why Do Narcissists Play the Victim? Unmasking Their Manipulative Tactics psychcentral.com...
	⚡ 7:27am Will thee SG OCNY: I'm making coffee does anybody want some?
	7:28am TDK60: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:27 Morning Will I'm a two-fist drinker. Yeah!
	7:28am Billybob: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:25 What specifically? I just copy/pasted a comment by someone else calling for the execution of Trump and his supporters, so what did I say that was worse?
	⚡ 7:28am Michael of Cologne: ↳ newton @7:14 A skerrick of wisdom. Thnx.
	⚡ 7:28am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ TDK60 @7:28 💨☕ ☕
	7:28am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning! Cigarettes After Sex? I don’t know this one. Love this band. Beautiful.
	7:29am annette: DOES ANYBODY NEED COFFEE ? i do half decaf. family secret
	7:29am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:20 Greetings, NotAReal.
	7:30am Doug in MP: I should get back into that chicory coffee stuff
	7:30am Brian D: ↳ bradford @7:21 Bradford, Katharsis, greetings.
	7:30am Otto: Sweet tune. Just what I need to hear
	7:30am Buddha of Suburbia: NotARealDoctor!!! Hey!! Where are you staying again? When’s the meet-up? I hope you all have a blast!!
	⚡ 7:31am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ annette @7:29 I've got a 6-cup moka on the stove now. Bustelo. Yum.
	7:31am annette: billeeboob. not this place. we are here for the music.
	7:31am dale: morning.
	⚡ 7:32am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ annette @7:29 💨 ☕ ½caff+½decaff
	7:32am Brian D: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:28 Good morning, Buddha. A recommendation of WFMU's Daddy Garbage.
	⚡ 7:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:21 thanks newton... they are somewhat in between random/and not. i go into the paper with nothing consciously in mind and the paper guides me like a ouija board not that i think anything occult has to do with it
	7:33am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:20 Angela Davis has been in Paris a few times lately, I think some of the venues could be very interested in Nikki Giovanni. Unfortunately, I have no way to suggest that, apart from suggesting to gatekeepers who may or not relay (usually not). It can take years, and she's not getting younger
	⚡ 7:33am Will thee SG OCNY: I can't make the meetup today, but had a great time at the record fair
	7:33am Billybob: ↳ annette @7:31 So...insults?
	7:34am annette: @ budda...never heard ...ever smoked after sex ? oh, i never looked .
	7:36am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:33 She's 81. I knew early 80s, but looked it up. She is still a force, though.
	7:36am ?: It's difficult to ignore him, right? He knows that too. But just give it a try :)
	⚡ 7:36am tom tom the pipers son: an artist that has been ignored is adrienne kennedy whose work i know more than giovanni's and is perhaps even more challenging
	⚡ 7:37am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:30 Staying in Ridgefield Park meetup at 2pm very exciting. As soon as we were in range of the transmitter I switched my car radio from Bluetooth to FM and hearing the static and the music was incredibly exciting
	7:37am annette: great moment to relive that great BW of COFFEE AND CIGARETTES
	7:37am Fredericks: ↳ ? @7:15 He doesn't answer difficult questions. And he does seem to like playing the victim.
	7:38am Otto: This new Cure album has been on repeat in my house all week
	7:38am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:36 If you have better contacts than I do, suggest Theatre de la Ville in Paris
	7:39am ?: ↳ Fredericks @7:37 Exactly!
	7:39am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:38 I wish I had contacts in France. Or even here.
	7:39am Buddha of Suburbia: Brian D, morning! I have been a fan of Cigarettes after Sex for years. Just never heard that song. Everyone assumes the singer is a breathy woman, but it’s a man. Hey Dalootin’ Tootin’!
	⚡ 7:40am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "And Nothing Is Forever" by "The Cure" !!! Wow!!!
	7:40am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:39 I meant with her agent, not in Paris
	⚡ 7:40am tom tom the pipers son: i believe in the past giovanni had an affliation with la mama
	7:40am estebangrande: good morning Brian and the Current
	7:41am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi NotaRealDoctor! I have no idea where Ridgefield Park is, but I hope you have a blast today.
	⚡ 7:42am William Hellfire: Saw the cure with Pixies and love and rockets and again with the cranes. Got girlfriends at both shows.
	7:42am fred: ↳ fred @7:40 It can't hurt to post this here, who knows who reads these comments?
	⚡ 7:42am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:41 Buddha it's near Hackensack if that helps lol
	7:43am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:42 That's true. Heck, Macron could be listening right now... or not.
	7:43am TDK60: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:41 Morning, Buddha de S.
	⚡ 7:43am NotARealDoctor: ↳ fred @7:42 You know have you tried cold emailing her booking agent?
	⚡ 7:44am NotARealDoctor: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:43 Might not work but what could it hurt?
	⚡ 7:46am newton: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:43 bold and direct works!. could just write to her a fan leter and suggest that you'd love to see her perform and Venue X_____. would be awesome. Plant the seed
	⚡ 7:46am tom tom the pipers son: black arts movement www.blackpast.org...
	⚡ 7:46am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:37 Bluetooth? You can listen to FMU in the car when yer out of range? How does one do this?
	7:47am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:43 That wouldn't help, I have no connection, even a negative one being a long time ticket buyer (meaning from before the current director, who made clear how he despises us holdovers)
	7:47am gnarly_gnarwhal: Morning all. Great show Brian, thank you. To the museum with the kids later. Really excited to see my brother.
	⚡ 7:49am NotARealDoctor: ↳ fred @7:47 Sounds like a very stupid man, what the ****
	7:49am Buddha of Suburbia: Hey! Hey! TDK60!
	7:49am Doug in MP: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:46 WFMU app! If you have a newer car that allows connecting your phone to the car stereo you can play any audio your phone can put out.
	⚡ 7:50am tom tom the pipers son: adrienne kennedy artistsspace.org...
	7:50am Doug in MP: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:46 My older car has an AUX port so I have to physically connect a cable to my phone's headphone port, but same concept.
	⚡ 7:50am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:46 I use the WFMU app but you can also use the iHeartRadio app or the TuneIn app
	7:51am Fishman: Good morning from Arizona
	7:51am Billybob: ↳ Fredericks @7:37 Me...the victim?? Hardly. But at this point, I'll just bow out. I'd say I know where I'm unwanted, but that would just sound "victim-y", wouldn't it?
	⚡ 7:51am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:46 my wife's car has Bluetooth and Android auto... my car has an aux 3.5mm port. in my old Volkswagen I built a cable to plug in the back for the aux breakout. I did L+R RCA and 3.5mm. IDK what provisions you may have in your car
	⚡ 7:52am NotARealDoctor: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:50 I started listening to WFMU about 8 years ago and this is the first time I've ever been in range it's very cool
	⚡ 7:53am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @7:09 Brian, speaking of moving. When I was still in NJ, this couple came into the wine store where I worked. They go, we're looking for Domaine X. I go, we don't carry it, but I'd be glad to order it. They go, Oh it's the most darling winery, 10 kilometers from our house in Provence! They proceeded to tell me about their house in Palm Beach and their pied-a-terre in NYC. Didn't buy anything, but they want to make sure I knew how rich they were.
	7:53am Re6ecca: ↳ Brian D @7:11 Hey Rich and Brian!!!
	⚡ 7:53am nortonjutland: ↳ annette @7:29 COFFEE? YOU GOT COFFEE?
	7:53am Fredericks: ↳ Billybob @7:51 Sure does sound victim-y.
	⚡ 7:54am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ nortonjutland @7:53 💨☕
	7:56am Doug in MP: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:53 All that money and they still need to find fulfillment by crushing others.
	7:57am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:53 Ugh. One of my (many, if you ask Mrs. Currents) pet peeves.
	7:57am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:52 Welcome. Just don't breathe in too deeply.

	8:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Pop Song 89 (acoustic)" by "REM" Geez. I like these guys.
	⚡ 8:02am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @7:57 Yeah. I've waited on plenty of wealth people. Most of them are nice, but the entitled ones... OMG.

	8:04am Rick A: ↳ Song: "Ever Had A Little Faith?" by "Belle and Sebastian" Good Morning Brian and all, I saw B&S on the Girls tour at Radio City. It was really phenomenal. they performed for over two hours. They certainly have enough material to play for several hous. They played some of their older songs like "Lazy Line Painter Jane", a favorite of mine.
	⚡ 8:04am tom tom the pipers son: this may apply to trumpism, maybe not ... but my thought recently visiting hyper gentrified neighborhoods is that the idea of simulacra has been internalized
	8:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @8:02 If it has caffeine - I am likely on it like a gnat on compost. There's no way of computing how much of Brazil's topsoil has passed thru my hyperstimulated Murikan guts... The exception being I get kidney stones so try & avoid black tea over other options...
	8:05am Brian D: ↳ Rick A @8:04 Saw them for the first time last spring. Fantastic!
	8:05am Brian D: ↳ Rick A @8:04 Oh, and good morning.
	⚡ 8:05am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:05 💨☕ ☕ have a few then
	8:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rick A @8:04 Nice to know they translate well to Live.
	⚡ 8:07am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Brian D @7:57 You know it's not my first time in Jersey but the last three times i was unaware of FMU. One thing I do remember is the significant air quality difference as soon as you cross the Hudson.
	⚡ 8:09am Will thee SG OCNY: we have to go out and do stuff, I'll be listening to the great WFMU on WMFU from Mt Hope... 90.1 be well everyone, stay vigilant, stay caffinated if you partake. love to my FMU peeps
	8:10am rich in angleton: i'm obsessed with vulture feather.
	8:10am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:07 The air quality isn't great on either side, to be fair. And I've lived on both, so I can say that. It's just bad today because of a fire.
	8:11am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Monument" by "Vulture Feather" Sorta reminds me of Lungfish.
	⚡ 8:12am William Hellfire: ↳ rich in angleton @8:04 You need to see Benji zax and the prince from outer space. Live action TV show from the 80s. It's nuts. Shot on video.
	⚡ 8:12am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Brian D @8:10 I still think it's better on the Jersey side. :Þ
	8:12am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Monument" by "Vulture Feather" ...this part reminding me a little of GBV...
	8:12am Bryan: Something about this song reminds me of Mother Love Bone.
	⚡ 8:13am newton: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:12 I remember in the '60s it was much worse!
	8:13am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @8:10 That makes two of us.
	8:13am PaulRobeson1924: Breakfast!
	8:13am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @8:12 Not where I lived!
	8:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Howl / Mexican Dog" by "Doka" ...What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination? Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks! Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy judger of men! Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments! Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money! Moloch whose fingers are ten armies! Moloch whose breast is a cannibal dynamo! Moloch whose ear is a smoking tomb! Moloch whose eyes are a thousand blind windows! Moloch whose skyscrapers stand in the long streets like endless Jehovahs! Moloch whose factories dream and croak in the fog! Moloch whose smoke-stacks and antennae crown the cities! Moloch whose love is endless oil and stone! Moloch whose soul is electricity and banks! Moloch whose poverty is the specter of genius! Moloch whose fate is a cloud of sexless hydrogen! Moloch whose name is the Mind! Moloch in whom I sit lonely! Moloch in whom I dream Angels! Crazy in Moloch! Cocksucker in Moloch! Lacklove and manless in Moloch! Moloch who entered my soul early! Moloch in whom I am a consciousness without a body! Moloch who frightened me out of my natural ecstasy! Moloch whom I abandon! Wake up in Moloch! Light streaming out of the sky! Moloch! Moloch! Robot apartments! invisible suburbs! skeleton treasuries! blind capitals! demonic industries! spectral nations! invincible madhouses! granite cocks! monstrous bombs!...
	⚡ 8:16am William Hellfire: ↳ Bryan @8:12 Digging deep there!
	⚡ 8:16am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ PaulRobeson1924 @8:13 💨🥓🍳🍞🥞🧇☕
	⚡ 8:17am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @8:10 Way back when, I moved from Morris County to Cliffside Park NJ, right across the river. Took me a month to get used to the air. Ugh.
	8:17am rich in angleton: ↳ William Hellfire @8:12 I just looked that up... I'll check that out for sure! thx for the tip.
	8:18am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:49 Trying to make his mark, also the venue had many ties to India, in dance and music. First thing he did was cut Indian dance, then wind down music (wealthier community there, tread lightly). He's a theater director, so it's all about his work and transactional deals with foreign theaters who will trade tour dates
	⚡ 8:19am William Hellfire: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:15 Owl.
	⚡ 8:19am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:17 i went to college in the north country... it would take 2 weeks or more to get used tonthe air in the Hudson Valley. soo much cleaner up north
	8:20am Lixiviated Life: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:15 “ O victory forget your underwear we’re free”
	8:21am fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:15 Old story: I used reading of Howl by the man himself from 1956 and 1995 to debug software used to disguise the voice of witnesses (both victims and perps) for the Rwanda genocide trials
	⚡ 8:22am NotARealDoctor: ↳ fred @8:18 What a bummer!
	⚡ 8:22am Will thee SG OCNY: thank you Brian D, Been enjoying the tunes. be well!!! going mobile
	⚡ 8:24am NotARealDoctor: I do like the paper rustling sounds actually
	8:24am Brian D: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @8:22 Thanks, Will. Have a great Saturday.
	⚡ 8:25am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @8:19 I'm very lucky up here. I live right in the village and on a good day, you can smell the pine trees.
	8:25am Scott from Boston: I was still good with Bella and Sebastian
	⚡ 8:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:24 have you played beefheart before...?
	8:25am Handy Haversack: Morning, Brian, all.
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ Scott from Boston @8:25 Ha! Already played it, though.
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:25 I'd have to check...
	⚡ 8:26am William Hellfire: They will make the cemeteries their cathedrals and the city's your tombs - City of the walking dead. Dir. Lucio Fulci
	8:26am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "The Thousandth and Tenth Day of the Human Totem P... "The chatter wasn't too good."
	8:27am StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:15 Played in the old-fashioned machine way we, the beam people, the Essenceland Dream people, easily divined, they told of a very different world, a transition world, if you will, between what we are now and the death and defeat these people hoped to overcome. New-metal man! It does have a ring. MODERAN! It did seem pretty great in concept, I'm sure, and, who knows, perhaps it had a reasonable chance of success. But all societies, all civilizations, all aspirations it seems must fail the unremitting tugs of shroudy time, finally, leaving only little bones, fossils, a shoe turned to stone maybe, a bone button in the sea perhaps, a jeweled memento of an old old love.
	8:27am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:25 Handy!
	8:27am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:25 The wayback machine isn't sure.
	8:27am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:25 Is the meetup today, and is Radio ready?
	8:27am Robini: ↳ Song: "The Thousandth and Tenth Day of the Human Totem P... Is this Don or someone else? Voice sounds different
	8:29am Brian D: ↳ Robini @8:27 'Tis Don.
	8:29am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Hideaway" by "Cigarettes After Sex" Surprising to hear on this show, but glad the band has finally blown up 🚬💜
	8:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @8:27 Yes, and I guess we'll find out!
	8:30am Brian D: ↳ HyperDose @8:29 We (you) get all kinds here.
	8:32am ∫ydniuß: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads
	8:32am HyperDose: ↳ Brian D @8:30 Grateful for that (and you)!
	⚡ 8:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:27 my wayback machine is leaning...it's a first
	8:35am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:33 Yours is probably right.
	8:41am ∫ydniuß: RIP Tony Todd. hegluzmeh qaq jajvam.
	8:41am fred: A more balanced week ahead: after 4 dance, 3 concert, 4 dance shows weeks, I have 2 concerts and two dance shows next week. Starting with Kakushin Nishihara, I'm very excited about that one
	⚡ 8:42am Bobby: Thanks for programming my morning, Brian
	⚡ 8:42am William Hellfire: ↳ ∫ydniuß @8:41 Tony died?
	8:43am common: hello
	8:43am ∫ydniuß: ↳ William Hellfire @8:42 …as must we all
	⚡ 8:43am newton: taking Frances for her tour. Have a great day and be safe. Thanks Brian
	8:43am Brian D: ↳ ∫ydniuß @8:41 Jaysus. Only 69.
	8:44am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @8:42 Truly my pleasure, sir. See you Thursday.
	⚡ 8:44am William Hellfire: ↳ ∫ydniuß @8:43 I filmed him for an interview on Shadow Dead Riot DVD. Big hands.
	8:44am Lixiviated Life: I gotta go but before I do I want to say that my response to this all is no response at all. I’m going to try to live my life as I always have. I’m going to try to do good where and when I can within my circle of friends and those I meet. Nothing else is in my control. I’m going to try to not let the noise around me distract me from what i do. I guess time will tell if I’m successful. Let’s see how it goes
	8:44am Brian D: ↳ newton @8:43 Enjoy Newton.
	⚡ 8:44am tom tom the pipers son: williamsburg was one of the hyper gentrified neighborhoods i mentions where simulacra has been seemingly internalized where a layer of self has been reified/ commercialized
	8:45am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:44 That's how I see it.
	8:46am ∫ydniuß: ↳ William Hellfire @8:44 as befits a warrior
	⚡ 8:47am William Hellfire: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:44 Missing Foundation did a song called burn trees. When trees are planted in the city sidewalks it's a sign of development so the squatted would burn them. That band was no joke.
	⚡ 8:47am NotARealDoctor: Thanks for the tunes and tales Brian D! Time to hop in the shower and get the day moving. Don't know who all will be at today's meetup but I'm looking forward to an exciting day today.
	8:48am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Lixiviated Life @8:44 one mut follow their own trajectory. The world will try to pull us to all sorts of places. Know your truth and live it strong
	8:49am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @8:47 No joke indeed.
	8:49am fred: ↳ Song: "Dream Attack" by "New Order" Not their best, but I have a lot of bittersweet memories around this record
	⚡ 8:49am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:25 I used to drive through, the ADK are a great drive. Amazing scenery, and fresh air.
	8:51am Brian D: Alright all, going to sign off here in a few. Thanks for joining me. Stay safe and do try to enjoy the weekend.
	8:51am kevlicki: Hey Brian, Thanks for another show! Some new tracks that I’m looking forward to follow up on!
	⚡ 8:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ William Hellfire @8:47 i never saw them...but i'd say dig the trees up and replant them but i'm being idealistic...i knew someone who wol dump trash for same reasons
	8:51am Listener Robert: What bothers me here and elsewhere is the seeming attitude that no countervailing opinion is even within the realm of polite and rational discourse. Pro-Trumpers are treated as not just wrong, but like they're violating social norms.
	⚡ 8:52am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian...
	8:52am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Listener Robert @8:51 Denaturalization is wrong.
	8:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Robert @8:51 Perhaps you should think about why that is the case.
	8:52am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Brian! Good to be here!
	8:53am TDK60: Good night, Brian, all.
	8:54am HyperDose: ↳ Listener Robert @8:51 Right on
	8:55am Otto: Great show Brian D…have a killer weekend y’all
	8:55am fred: ↳ William Hellfire @8:47 I once chatted with a guy at a show, a friend introduced me by pointing at my WFMU gear. Nice chat, he said his band played a while ago in the Uppsala days. The upside down martini pendant should have tipped me off, he was Peter Missing! Obliviousness served me well, our chat would have been worse had I known
	8:55am Fredericks: cdn.prod.dailykos.com...
	⚡ 8:56am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Great show, Brian. Thank you.
	⚡ 8:57am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Listener Robert @8:51 For me, personally, I do not like that part of the Trump platform is rolling back the Obergefell case which would remove my right to be married to my partner, part of it would make it extremely difficult if not impossible for friends of mine to receive the hormones they need for their transitions, and I don't feel like debating whether we have a right to exist as who we are.
	⚡ 8:57am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Listener Robert @8:51 Let's see... pro-Trump are racist, sexist, anti-immigrant people who think they should control women's bodies. They want tax cuts for the rich and they want to destroy what remains of the social safety net. Did I miss anything?
	8:57am Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Sea of Love" by "Tom Waits" Great musically ironic take on a pop song!
	⚡ 8:58am tom tom the pipers son: we have actual november weather in nyc today 44 degrees
	8:58am ∫ydniuß: Danke Brian!
	⚡ 8:59am William Hellfire: ↳ fred @8:55 I went to see them at Building NYC. They got cancelled last minute. Kids were throwing beer bottles at the club. I love that cult of rage news footage. It's on YouTube what propaganda. Crazy.
	8:59am StringOFperils: Violating social norms. Rather benign way of describing mass worship of a psychopath on the hunt, and a cult of leering cruelty. Invoking the name of an invisible being to empower them in their belief that all and any action or word is permitted to them.
	8:59am Listener Robert: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:57 Except...I'm pro-Trump and I'm not like that.
	⚡ 9:00am William Hellfire: Thanks Brian!!!
	9:01am Bryan: Listener Robert: That's what Trump supports. If you support him, you support that.
	⚡ 9:01am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Bryan @9:01 Simple as
	9:38am Billybob: I thank Brian D for allowing my comments to remain, and for remaining true to the spirit of free speech.

Listener comments!
	6:01am TDK60: Morning, Brian. "Sketches"!
	6:02am duke: Hi Brian and those swimming against the currents
	6:02am LiXiviated Life: “It’s mourning in America “
	6:05am Brian D: TDK, Duke, Lix, all. Good morning and mourning.
	6:05am TDK60: Adagio for a failed nation? I'd say yes.
	⚡ 6:07am Bobby: Hello Brian and the currently engaged
	6:07am fred: Good morning Brian and all. Not a great week news wise I guess. RIP Ukraine, Palestine, Lebanon, vaccines, windmills, abortion, inhabitable Earth, and more...
	6:08am Strandlund: Hello everybody...
	6:09am Strandlund: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:02 Well said...
	6:10am LiXiviated Life: I’ve been thinking back to when Ronald Reagan was elected. A lot of anxious feelings then.
	6:10am morphe': Attuned...
	6:11am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers. The fire has been lit. 🔥
	6:11am Brian D: Good morning Bobby, Fred, Strand, Morphe... Bad week for news, but hopefully a good one for music...
	6:12am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @6:11 Greetings Cooh. Yes, you can smell it in the air.
	6:14am fred: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:10 He was not as apocalyptic as feared, but he did a lot of damage, including breaking the unions.
	6:15am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:14 Plus, you know, the Central American death squads.
	6:16am LiXiviated Life: Reagan was selling the same story about a new America based on tradition and a Hollywood view of the past. (we as a nation love the Hollywood America) I feel that we were looking for that again But This time we got maybe the Anti-Reagan. I think the best outcome will be If we all live to regret it
	6:19am TDK60: I am in full agreement with Noam Chomsky's statement that the Republican Party is the most dangerous organization in human history.
	6:23am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:15 He didn't start these though, Kissinger (Rot In Piss) predated him
	6:24am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:23 Fair enough. But he made sure they got paid.
	6:24am LiXiviated Life: “ and so it goes” - K. Vonnegut
	6:24am Billybob: Are dissenting opinions welcome at WFMU? Never mind. I know the answer to that one.
	6:25am LiXiviated Life: Hi BillyBob
	6:27am Brian D: ↳ Billybob @6:24 Yes
	⚡ 6:28am William Hellfire: ↳ LiXiviated Life @6:24 Welcome to the monkey house.. six finger satellite does a really cool song based on that.
	6:29am fred: ↳ Billybob @6:24 You will get backlash at this time, but I think anything you say (apart for gloating, please don't) should be taken seriously, as we obviously are out of touch with many
	6:30am fred: ↳ Song: "Little Karen" by "Quincy Jones and His Orchestra" RIP Quincy (and I don't mean it the Kissinger way)
	6:34am annette: sad to say, but parties are archaic. lets just stop quibbling and talk whilst enjoying sweet tunes.
	6:35am Brian D: ↳ annette @6:34 I find when we talk -- and listen -- we often find we agree on more than we think.
	6:35am LiXiviated Life: @ Annette I can absolutely do that 🙂
	⚡ 6:35am newton: mourning brian
	6:36am LiXiviated Life: The sun is up
	6:36am Billybob: ↳ fred @6:29 I've tried, and very respectfully, if I do say so myself...and then had my comments removed (because I'm a fascist, apparently). On one board, several of the commenters posted that they wanted Trump and anyone who supports him, executed. The DJ seemed to agree. That was what I was up against.
	6:37am annette: correction . WFMU party on board. waffles on the house, here. lol
	6:37am Otto: Good morning guys and gals, nice place ya got heah
	6:39am Fredericks: ↳ Billybob @6:24 No one banned you or threatened you, did they?
	6:40am annette: @LIX did ja see the stars this morn ? took me back to harpswell
	⚡ 6:41am Marley P. Dogg: ↳ Billybob @6:36 Billy Bob - you exaggerate - no one has down that - you only come in the boards to troll and gloat which is why you should be ignored
	⚡ 6:42am Michael of Cologne: G'day Brian & all. The shares of J.P.Morgan jumped up almost 12% on one day on news of the convincing democratic Trump victory. This seems to say it all about who, or rather, what won.
	⚡ 6:42am William Hellfire: Awww both cats came to listen to the radio. Brian you got the cars together!!!
	⚡ 6:44am newton: I was here yesterday billybob. I engaged with you, you even agreed with me, but I have to say your comments are ill timed and insensitive. Also unnecessary. It does seem you are here to gloat, and you are not respectful of the space for what is surely the majority on this forum to grieve. I did not see your comments removed, you were not censored
	⚡ 6:45am newton: ↳ newton @6:44 sorry, actually it was thursday on Trouble's show
	6:45am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:35 Belated good morning, Newton.
	6:45am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:42 Hallo, Michael.
	6:46am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:42 I'm huge with cats.
	6:47am Billybob: ↳ Fredericks @6:39 Yes. The DJ said "OK, Billybob, you have to go. Your comments will be removed." And they were. And it wasn't like I started the debate. The DJ and some commenters said a few things I wanted to counter, so I joined in. There was even some other poster who used my name to make comments to try to make me sound stupid.

	6:49am Hyper Driver: Amazing to wake up to Nikki Giovanni. Took a class from her at Virginia Tech - she speaks with such a clarity of vision.
	6:49am fred: ↳ Billybob @6:47 Your comments on Trouble's show are still up (I just checked) I think banning/removal is indeed based on IP, otherwise it was way too easy for a troll to get someone else removed

	6:56am Billybob: ↳ newton @6:44 I was referring to a show last week. But yesterday, I was just trying to explain my side. I might've said something like it's time to reassess where the D party went wrong. But maybe I should've let you guys mourn. Maybe I was kicking a dog when it's down (not that I would ever kick a dog ;) ) But sometimes I see my side as completely misinterpreted, and get a little pissed, especially after hearing my side called fascist and Hitler for far too many years, and need to get a few things out, too.
	6:57am annette: Brian, my hearing loss giving me brain typos. no apologies needed. enjoy it. lots of fun in later years
	⚡ 6:59am newton: Billybob, it is at the very least insensitive, cruel and inappropriate to perform an amateur autopsy in the middle of a funeral in front of the bereaved. If you are genuine and sincere you might do well to wait a week or two before engaging such discussions
	6:59am Hyper Driver: Well, thank you for playing her (Nikki)! Wonderful to hear on this Saturday morning. Hope everybody’s going to find something good in today!

	7:00am fred: ↳ Billybob @6:56 I read some of your comments, and some made a lot of sense to me. Some were ill-timed I guess, some places are more receptive than others (I think this is one, but expect to be fact-checked, even from people agreeing, even though in your case that might not be many)

	7:01am Billybob: ↳ Marley P. Dogg @6:51 Do I really need to name the DJ who removed my comments? But that's what I'm talking about: "Stop lying". Really? That's where the unwelcome thing comes in. I'm being pretty respectful here, and you're calling me a liar.

	7:10am fred: ↳ Billybob @7:01 No, they're fact checking you, which I warned you about. I haven't been online much this week, so I may well have missed when your comments were removed (that happens more than you think, and for more trivial reasons) When someone's comments are deleted, there are traces (unfortunately for me, as once my reply looked like it was about something else which took an embarrassing meaning)

	⚡ 7:14am Will thee SG OCNY: I don't like politics.... but we need to get rid of citizens united... it allows corporations to 'donate' far too much to elections. essentially they are buying their vote. We were supposed to be a democratic republic by the people, for the people. It seems as now we only have a twisted oligarchy that the ruling class, the rich, and corporations have the power. They use division in both parties to keep us from uniting and realizing that if you were just talking with your neighbor you would have much more in common than you would think. I just hope we all survive the next 4 years and then some... end political rant
	⚡ 7:14am newton: ↳ William Hellfire @6:59 Agreed, but I do think that before we die we get to do something, and it is that something that we do that is important and makes meaning, at least for us and some other few, for a brief time before being totally forgotten

	8:18am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:49 Trying to make his mark, also the venue had many ties to India, in dance and music. First thing he did was cut Indian dance, then wind down music (wealthier community there, tread lightly). He's a theater director, so it's all about his work and transactional deals with foreign theaters who will trade tour dates
	⚡ 8:19am William Hellfire: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:15 Owl.
	⚡ 8:19am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:17 i went to college in the north country... it would take 2 weeks or more to get used tonthe air in the Hudson Valley. soo much cleaner up north
	8:20am Lixiviated Life: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:15 “ O victory forget your underwear we’re free”
	8:21am fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:15 Old story: I used reading of Howl by the man himself from 1956 and 1995 to debug software used to disguise the voice of witnesses (both victims and perps) for the Rwanda genocide trials
	⚡ 8:22am NotARealDoctor: ↳ fred @8:18 What a bummer!
	⚡ 8:22am Will thee SG OCNY: thank you Brian D, Been enjoying the tunes. be well!!! going mobile
	⚡ 8:24am NotARealDoctor: I do like the paper rustling sounds actually
	8:24am Brian D: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @8:22 Thanks, Will. Have a great Saturday.
	⚡ 8:25am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @8:19 I'm very lucky up here. I live right in the village and on a good day, you can smell the pine trees.
	8:25am Scott from Boston: I was still good with Bella and Sebastian
	⚡ 8:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:24 have you played beefheart before...?
	8:25am Handy Haversack: Morning, Brian, all.
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ Scott from Boston @8:25 Ha! Already played it, though.
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:25 I'd have to check...
	⚡ 8:26am William Hellfire: They will make the cemeteries their cathedrals and the city's your tombs - City of the walking dead. Dir. Lucio Fulci
	8:26am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "The Thousandth and Tenth Day of the Human Totem P... "The chatter wasn't too good."
	8:27am StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:15 Played in the old-fashioned machine way we, the beam people, the Essenceland Dream people, easily divined, they told of a very different world, a transition world, if you will, between what we are now and the death and defeat these people hoped to overcome. New-metal man! It does have a ring. MODERAN! It did seem pretty great in concept, I'm sure, and, who knows, perhaps it had a reasonable chance of success. But all societies, all civilizations, all aspirations it seems must fail the unremitting tugs of shroudy time, finally, leaving only little bones, fossils, a shoe turned to stone maybe, a bone button in the sea perhaps, a jeweled memento of an old old love.
	8:27am Brian D: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:25 Handy!
	8:27am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:25 The wayback machine isn't sure.
	8:27am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @8:25 Is the meetup today, and is Radio ready?
	8:27am Robini: ↳ Song: "The Thousandth and Tenth Day of the Human Totem P... Is this Don or someone else? Voice sounds different
	8:29am Brian D: ↳ Robini @8:27 'Tis Don.
	8:29am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Hideaway" by "Cigarettes After Sex" Surprising to hear on this show, but glad the band has finally blown up 🚬💜
	8:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @8:27 Yes, and I guess we'll find out!
	8:30am Brian D: ↳ HyperDose @8:29 We (you) get all kinds here.
	8:32am ∫ydniuß: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads
	8:32am HyperDose: ↳ Brian D @8:30 Grateful for that (and you)!
	⚡ 8:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:27 my wayback machine is leaning...it's a first
	8:35am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:33 Yours is probably right.
	8:41am ∫ydniuß: RIP Tony Todd. hegluzmeh qaq jajvam.
	8:41am fred: A more balanced week ahead: after 4 dance, 3 concert, 4 dance shows weeks, I have 2 concerts and two dance shows next week. Starting with Kakushin Nishihara, I'm very excited about that one
	⚡ 8:42am Bobby: Thanks for programming my morning, Brian
	⚡ 8:42am William Hellfire: ↳ ∫ydniuß @8:41 Tony died?

	⚡ 8:43am newton: taking Frances for her tour. Have a great day and be safe. Thanks Brian
	8:43am Brian D: ↳ ∫ydniuß @8:41 Jaysus. Only 69.
	8:44am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @8:42 Truly my pleasure, sir. See you Thursday.
	⚡ 8:44am William Hellfire: ↳ ∫ydniuß @8:43 I filmed him for an interview on Shadow Dead Riot DVD. Big hands.
	8:44am Lixiviated Life: I gotta go but before I do I want to say that my response to this all is no response at all. I’m going to try to live my life as I always have. I’m going to try to do good where and when I can within my circle of friends and those I meet. Nothing else is in my control. I’m going to try to not let the noise around me distract me from what i do. I guess time will tell if I’m successful. Let’s see how it goes
	8:44am Brian D: ↳ newton @8:43 Enjoy Newton.
	⚡ 8:44am tom tom the pipers son: williamsburg was one of the hyper gentrified neighborhoods i mentions where simulacra has been seemingly internalized where a layer of self has been reified/ commercialized
	8:45am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:44 That's how I see it.
	8:46am ∫ydniuß: ↳ William Hellfire @8:44 as befits a warrior
	⚡ 8:47am William Hellfire: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:44 Missing Foundation did a song called burn trees. When trees are planted in the city sidewalks it's a sign of development so the squatted would burn them. That band was no joke.
	⚡ 8:47am NotARealDoctor: Thanks for the tunes and tales Brian D! Time to hop in the shower and get the day moving. Don't know who all will be at today's meetup but I'm looking forward to an exciting day today.
	8:48am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Lixiviated Life @8:44 one mut follow their own trajectory. The world will try to pull us to all sorts of places. Know your truth and live it strong
	8:49am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @8:47 No joke indeed.
	8:49am fred: ↳ Song: "Dream Attack" by "New Order" Not their best, but I have a lot of bittersweet memories around this record
	⚡ 8:49am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:25 I used to drive through, the ADK are a great drive. Amazing scenery, and fresh air.
	8:51am Brian D: Alright all, going to sign off here in a few. Thanks for joining me. Stay safe and do try to enjoy the weekend.
	8:51am kevlicki: Hey Brian, Thanks for another show! Some new tracks that I’m looking forward to follow up on!
	⚡ 8:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ William Hellfire @8:47 i never saw them...but i'd say dig the trees up and replant them but i'm being idealistic...i knew someone who wol dump trash for same reasons
	8:51am Listener Robert: What bothers me here and elsewhere is the seeming attitude that no countervailing opinion is even within the realm of polite and rational discourse. Pro-Trumpers are treated as not just wrong, but like they're violating social norms.
	⚡ 8:52am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian...
	8:52am ∫ydniuß: ↳ Listener Robert @8:51 Denaturalization is wrong.
	8:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Robert @8:51 Perhaps you should think about why that is the case.
	8:52am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Brian! Good to be here!
	8:53am TDK60: Good night, Brian, all.
	8:54am HyperDose: ↳ Listener Robert @8:51 Right on
	8:55am Otto: Great show Brian D…have a killer weekend y’all
	8:55am fred: ↳ William Hellfire @8:47 I once chatted with a guy at a show, a friend introduced me by pointing at my WFMU gear. Nice chat, he said his band played a while ago in the Uppsala days. The upside down martini pendant should have tipped me off, he was Peter Missing! Obliviousness served me well, our chat would have been worse had I known
	8:55am Fredericks: cdn.prod.dailykos.com...
	⚡ 8:56am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Great show, Brian. Thank you.
	⚡ 8:57am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Listener Robert @8:51 For me, personally, I do not like that part of the Trump platform is rolling back the Obergefell case which would remove my right to be married to my partner, part of it would make it extremely difficult if not impossible for friends of mine to receive the hormones they need for their transitions, and I don't feel like debating whether we have a right to exist as who we are.
	⚡ 8:57am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Listener Robert @8:51 Let's see... pro-Trump are racist, sexist, anti-immigrant people who think they should control women's bodies. They want tax cuts for the rich and they want to destroy what remains of the social safety net. Did I miss anything?
	8:57am Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Sea of Love" by "Tom Waits" Great musically ironic take on a pop song!
	⚡ 8:58am tom tom the pipers son: we have actual november weather in nyc today 44 degrees
	8:58am ∫ydniuß: Danke Brian!
	⚡ 8:59am William Hellfire: ↳ fred @8:55 I went to see them at Building NYC. They got cancelled last minute. Kids were throwing beer bottles at the club. I love that cult of rage news footage. It's on YouTube what propaganda. Crazy.
	8:59am StringOFperils: Violating social norms. Rather benign way of describing mass worship of a psychopath on the hunt, and a cult of leering cruelty. Invoking the name of an invisible being to empower them in their belief that all and any action or word is permitted to them.
	8:59am Listener Robert: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:57 Except...I'm pro-Trump and I'm not like that.
	⚡ 9:00am William Hellfire: Thanks Brian!!!
	9:01am Bryan: Listener Robert: That's what Trump supports. If you support him, you support that.
	⚡ 9:01am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Bryan @9:01 Simple as
	9:38am Billybob: I thank Brian D for allowing my comments to remain, and for remaining true to the spirit of free speech.
