	6:26am Fred and Alan: ↳ Brian D @6:25 BRIAN D GOOD MORNING AND LOVE FROM FRED AND ALAN GREAT SHOW
	♥ 6:26am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:24 Dude has had some life. What happened with the show?
	⚡ ♥ 6:27am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Fred and Alan @6:21 Good morning Fred and Alan. Aren't y'all off on Saturdays?
	6:27am Fred and Alan: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:27 NOTAREALDOCTOR NO WE'RE WORKING
	⚡ ♥ 6:28am TDK60: Good morning, Brian.
	♥ 6:29am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:28 Hey there, TDK.
	6:29am Fred and Alan: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:27 NOTAREALDOCTOR SERVING THE NICEST PEOPLE ON EARTH EACH ONE IS NICER THAN THE NEXT
	⚡ ♥ 6:31am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Fred and Alan @6:29 Haha let me guess perfect sweeties to the core every one of them
	⚡ ♥ 6:35am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Song: "Clip: WCCO-Minnesota sues Trump administration" This one made me cry a little too hear someone say they would rather lose than sell out trans kids
	6:35am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:25 Oh, interesting.
	♥ 6:35am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:26 Not much was my issue. He was standing with a game console controller really static. No issue with that (I'm small so I don't care about seeing what's going on). My problem was that it sounded like he was switching through a planned sequence of sounds which made a little too much sense, so it became predictable
	♥ 6:40am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:35 Keith Ellison is legit.
	♥ 6:42am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:35 I've not seen him perform, but my understanding was/is that the performances were sort of improv? I guess that's changed?
	♥ 6:42am fred: ↳ fred @6:35 On the other hand, he had no records to sell, but piles of two books. One of a kind guy
	⚡ ♥ 6:42am TDK60: Bonjour Fred & Alan, NARD, Fred, Fredericks, et al.
	♥ 6:45am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:42 Books?! Are those like tweets?
	⚡ ♥ 6:45am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & Co. fred, best wishes for the next two weeks.
	⚡ ♥ 6:46am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Brian D @6:40 protecting children is such a low low bar and I've watched so many Democrats trip over it in the last few years trying to win Republican votes
	♥ 6:46am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:45 Good day, Brian.
	♥ 6:47am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:46 I get it.
	♥ 6:47am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:42 I think it was improv, but improv often relies on well-worn routines. It sounded to me like a sequence of loops, but maybe I was in a bad mood. I take the blame
	⚡ ♥ 6:49am TDK60: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:46 Hi N.A.R.D. Trying to placate the Republican bullies? Not a worthwhile plan.
	6:51am London Calling Francky on the app: Buongiorno Brian, Spike, TDK, Fred and Alan and all dedicated currentits out there... late to the party but very much here with you all!
	♥ 6:52am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:49 And yet...
	♥ 6:52am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:46 In a fair world, state power should be used to protect the weakest, not the strongest, no matter their age. We don't live there, obviously. Never have, but this is blatant now
	♥ 6:52am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky on the app @6:51 Better late than never, LCF. Good day.
	⚡ ♥ 6:55am Brian in UK: Mona looks a lot like Neil from The Young Ones. encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com...
	♥ 6:55am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:55 "Have we got a video?... Yes we've got a bloody video!"
	♥ 6:56am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:55 That's the Mona Lisa and not Mona the DJ, for clarification.
	7:00am London Calling Francky on the app: @Brian D for some reason this Neil's line popped into my mind "Come on guys, I don't think we should let this experience bring us down. After all, what's so wrong with dirty clothes anyway?"
	7:08am Cooh John: Ougee is an inspiration for my photography.
	7:08am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Hey, Brian, I know you to be a reader. I'm laid up these days and have had occasion to read "Chicago" by Brian Doyle, which is a wacky but eminently readable novel that I recommend wholeheartedly.
	⚡ ♥ 7:10am tom tom the pipers son: Times 4/26/25 Overwhelmed in the Wine Aisle as the Piercing Shadows of Uncertainty Paralyze Businesses Downtown After a Chain Saw Attack On City Trees in a Moment of Truth, A Civil Rights Inquiry Opens Into The Terrifying Prospect Of The Very Territorial Caterpillar Accused of Fatally Torturing a Child While Raising Tensions In a Fun and Unpredictable Game Show That Cures All My Hangovers
	⚡ ♥ 7:10am TDK60: On another NYC exhibit. Today is the last day of one at the Emily Harvey Foundation gallery at 537 Broadway near Spring St. It's on 45 years of the ABC No Rio center, a radical arts/music/etc. space.
	⚡ ♥ 7:11am TDK60: ↳ London Calling Francky on the app @6:51 Good morning Francky.
	7:12am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Praise for Chicago “In this gorgeous novel, the protagonist is the setting. Although it’s full of interesting characters and surprising events, and the narrative is spun with great skill, the true spell it casts on the reader is the spell of atmosphere, its portrait of a time and place so complete that this becomes reading experience that feels like a life experience—the details are that vivid, and the immersion that complete. Chicago is memorable, original, and full of passionate exploration.” —Laura Kasischke, National Book Critics Circle Award winner for Space, In Chains
	♥ 7:12am Brian D: Weegee: Society of the Spectacle, for those interested: www.icp.org... And American Job: www.icp.org...
	♥ 7:12am Brian D: And, Anonymous Was a Woman: greyartmuseum.nyu.edu...
	♥ 7:12am alanSixº: hello!

	♥ 7:14am Brian D: ↳ Geoffrey in Ottawa @7:08 Thank you, Geoffrey. I'll check it out. Reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, hence the quote at the top of the playlist.

	♥ 7:18am Brian D: ↳ alanSixº @7:17 Perpetually groggy, but fine otherwise.
	⚡ ♥ 7:19am NotARealDoctor: morning Alan, i need some advice from an unqualified professional. My boss wants me to go to work today but my dog wants me to lay in bed with him all day who should i listen to?
	♥ 7:21am alanSixº: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:19 well i would neee to know more about ur financial status and job security before i tell u to do the obvious but i'll be doing ask alan may 13 if the situation should happen again
	♥ 7:22am alanSixº: ↳ alanSixº @7:21 i say this cuddled up with tico
	⚡ ♥ 7:25am NotARealDoctor: ↳ alanSixº @7:21 Unfortunately still in my 90 day probationary period and not yet allowed to join the union so I guess Cooper gets disappointed again 😔
	♥ 7:25am fred: ↳ alanSixº @7:22 I guess I know which side Tico would take
	⚡ ♥ 7:25am Will thee SG OCNY: Good morning Brian D and all!!!
	♥ 7:26am alanSixº: ↳ fred @7:25 ha! he'd probly say take me to the woods i don't care about the rain
	♥ 7:28am Brian D: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:25 Hello Will!
	⚡ ♥ 7:28am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Rakim" by "Dead Can Dance" I haven't heard DCD in a while.
	♥ 7:29am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:28 I've been on a kick for two weeks now.
	♥ 7:29am alanSixº: speaking of, we'll be tuned in from our morning walk - catch y'all a lil later
	♥ 7:30am Brian D: ↳ alanSixº @7:29 Enjoy Alan.
	♥ 7:30am alanSixº: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:25 hey will ✌🏼
	7:31am London Calling Francky on the app: Oh wow, Dead Can Dance! That brings me back to some interesting London Goth nights back 25 or so years ago! Amazing vibes!
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ alanSixº @7:30 Hi alanSix°, I hope all is good
	♥ 7:36am fred: @Brian: Makes sense to me: I'm pretty sure Rakim (the MC) has been influenced by Gil Scott-Heron
	♥ 7:37am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:36 Nice one, Fred. I wish I had thought of that.
	7:39am judy from croton: Such tragedy that Gil Scott-Heron is not here to lay it on the line for us today
	⚡ ♥ 7:41am PKNY: ↳ judy from croton @7:39 This was recorded in 1973, before Nixon resigned. We've been in the midst of "Winter in America" the entire time...my whole life...with no end in sight...
	7:45am rich in angleton: good morning Brian and everyone out in radioland! a bit of a late start for me this morning but I'm happy to be here!
	♥ 7:45am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:45 Good morning, Rich.
	7:47am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Total Control" by "The Motels" Warfield Foxes?
	⚡ ♥ 7:47am NotARealDoctor: Ah well, time to get in the shower, we're going ears only for a bit
	♥ 7:52am fred: ↳ Song: "Clip: Economic Times-Autism registry plan announc... I so hate this guy. He's like: here's the conclusion, find data to support it, and give the rest to feed Peter Thiel's AI
	♥ 7:53am fred: ↳ Song: "Yew's Path" by "Kuunatic" On the other hand, I love Kuunatic
	7:55am Fredericks: ↳ TDK60 @6:42 Hi there,TDK
	7:58am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Thank you, Brian! 💕🙏💕
	♥ 8:00am Brian D: ↳ Summer and Michael and Sylvia @7:58 Truly my pleasure!
	⚡ ♥ 8:02am radioronan: Good morning Brian & all! I need to catch up on last week's show with the Gowanus Current doc makers..heading to the Philly Nick Cave show tonight!
	⚡ ♥ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian re: living museum…participants comprised of 'non patients’ as well… people with a mental health diagnosis not living in a hospital setting… visited the place and felt it was a ghetto and just a frame where people are conceptually institutionalized for the sake of commodification of their artwork. as evidenced by your description of the museum being for creedmore patients….i believe max ernst visited the living museum…that’s how i found out about it
	♥ 8:02am milk t: ↳ Song: "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)" by "Janis Joplin" janis you beautiful soul
	8:03am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Broadcast premiere! Again, thank you! Love from France. 🇫🇷
	♥ 8:04am Brian D: ↳ radioronan @8:02 Good morning Ronan. Enjoy tonight. Truly a magical experience.
	♥ 8:05am Brian D: ↳ Summer and Michael and Sylvia @8:03 I'm honored.
	⚡ ♥ 8:05am tom tom the pipers son: walking down 14th street the other day….a woman in a motorized wheelchair speeding down the sidewalk playing “take anther piece of my heart” on her sound system… thought nyc still lives...
	♥ 8:05am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 Their work would have no such outlet otherwise.
	⚡ ♥ 8:07am Spikey BXL: Clicky star flurry as I finally reach my destination. Great picks, as per usual, Brian 👌🏻
	♥ 8:08am fred: @Brian: nailed it!
	♥ 8:13am William Hellfire: 4-20 is also anniversary of Columbine school shooting.
	⚡ ♥ 8:15am TDK60: People talk on transit? I usually see them silent with eyeballs glued to their so-called smart gizmos. I often mutter under my breath a line from Mark Stewart: "hypnotized." Then I loudly shout out quotes from Guy Debord's 'Society of the Spectacle.' Just kidding.
	♥ 8:15am milk t: omg lol
	8:16am Random Control: Jim is so damn funny, like that rare REAL funny. PS: won't you consider a poetry/spoken word/comedy show?
	⚡ ♥ 8:18am Spikey BXL: Watching Inglorious Basterds seems a fitting one for Hitler's birthday, short of punching a nazi.
	8:18am kevlicki: May Day is Jay day! The Yippies used to do their pot march the beginning of May in Washington Square Park
	8:18am Random Control: I should say poetry and/or comedy show. They may not be expected bed fellows.
	♥ 8:19am William Hellfire: When I saw MDC in a swat in NYC the singer came out smoking a Roach.
	⚡ ♥ 8:20am Spikey BXL: And with Celtic's 1888 the nazi numerology bingo is complete
	8:21am edfromnewbeige: Haha! I don’t once made plans (pre cell phone era) to meet my brother at North Station only to realize upon arrival that the Dead were in town! I had to abandon the scene and he eventually found his way to my apartment ..
	⚡ ♥ 8:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Long live Pistol Pete Maravich! 🏀
	⚡ ♥ 8:22am radioronan: The amtrak northeast nyc to boston (and reverse) overheard convos are legend..for real. Hence the reason to migrate to the quiet car that does not remain quiet for long..
	⚡ ♥ 8:23am ∫ydniuß: go Erie Epithets!
	⚡ ♥ 8:23am Spikey BXL: Get in, Celtic!
	♥ 8:23am fred: The fans were far less upset with the name than with Snyder
	8:24am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Brian & Jim! Atlantic City is GREAT.
	⚡ ♥ 8:26am ∫ydniuß: it’s white smoke, not blue
	♥ 8:26am erik: Just watched "Bringing out the Dead" with my EMT son, gritty early '90s NYC from Scorsese.
	⚡ ♥ 8:27am Spikey BXL: That pun was bold
	⚡ ♥ 8:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:05 picking up the thread after jim the poet….probably the same excuse for any other type of ghetto….the problem has to do with stereotypes of mental difference and marginalization of certain groups….why isn’t the work in any other gallery?
	⚡ ♥ 8:29am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Life Stinks" by "Pere Ubu" Golly, what did Ohio do to these poor souls?
	♥ 8:30am fred: So it's "bring out your dead" day? (Monty Python)
	⚡ ♥ 8:30am Spikey BXL: ↳ TDK60 @8:29 I like the call back to earlier this week. Hiya Teeds
	⚡ ♥ 8:31am McGroovey: I want to go see Fellini's 8½ in its current run at the Film Forum, but I'd actually have to make a plan to do that. And the Zombies documentary Hang Onto A Dream (or is it On To?), but it's playing the weekend we're away in Ohio, fetching the youngest daughter from college.
	⚡ ♥ 8:32am TDK60: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:30 Hey Spikey along Thames! RIP David. The P.U. combo was /way ahead/ of most other combos.
	⚡ ♥ 8:32am tom tom the pipers son: and thinking of art making as art therapy is a misconception of art and based in cliches of the ego centric american based therapy
	♥ 8:34am Brian D: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:27 BOOM
	♥ 8:35am fred: I only saw David Thomas twice. With Pere Ubu he was angry and blasted the opening band (rightfully, they played far too long, as friends of the venue). With Pale Boys he was sweet and had crew help him to sit on the edge of the stage to chat and sign stuff
	♥ 8:36am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:35 He and Rocket from the Tombs played a great show here at Monty Hall in 2015 and he was super nice.
	8:38am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Clampdown (Live from the Lewisham Odeon)" by "The... Do I hear a keyboard in the background?
	⚡ ♥ 8:38am TDK60: Yeah, I've been thinking of this song lately!
	⚡ ♥ 8:39am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @8:38 ...by the Clash of London.
	⚡ ♥ 8:40am McGroovey: ↳ Brian D @8:36 Was I at that show? I feel like I was, and yet I have no specific memory if it That wasn't a rhetorical question, Brian. Do you remember if I was there? 🤣🤣🤣
	♥ 8:41am Brian D: ↳ McGroovey @8:40 I barely remember that I was.
	⚡ ♥ 8:41am McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @8:40 Maybe "rhetorical" is the wrong word. I haven't had my coffee yet.
	8:42am Uncle Monk: Deerhoof has been pretty busy the past four years.
	♥ 8:43am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:36 I think he was a nice guy (people I know who worked on shows all agreed). But with no patience for entitlement, and a showman who knew Pere Ubu fans expected some anger
	⚡ ♥ 8:43am Spikey BXL: Thanks Brian. Final 20 minutes will be ears only as I watch my youngest warm up for his final ⚽️ game of the regular season. (Second, and they threw it away themselves by being cocky)
	♥ 8:45am fred: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:43 There's a good lesson in there though. Learning is good, and mistakes make it stick
	8:48am London Calling Francky on the app: @TDK60 I missed the Clash to a delicious lunch of grilled vegetables wrap 😱
	⚡ ♥ 8:48am tom tom the pipers son: hey brian i notce you’re not responding to follow up comments re: living museum…. do you think my comments are off base?
	⚡ ♥ 8:49am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Kiss Her Or Be Her" by "Chime Oblivion" Creamo played Chime Oblivion song yesterday. Was it this one? It's good. And it's not Chime School (whom I like also). Is there going to be a new bunch of bands with Chime in their names, like so the SugarX and SuperX bands in the nineties? Closing time
	8:49am Fredericks: ↳ McGroovey @8:49 Chime Wolf
	⚡ ♥ 8:51am 12539: Thanks, Brian.
	8:52am Fredericks: Why haven't you mentioned this yet, Brian? New College of Florida admin arrested, fired for ‘exposure of sexual organs’ Fred Piccolo, director of marketing and media, has a history of indecent exposure allegations.
	♥ 8:52am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:48 Just busy, Tom Tom. But I'm not sure I agree with you. I see the initiative as an effort to get these artists a wider audience. But agree to disagree.
	⚡ ♥ 8:52am radioronan: Thanks Brian..cheers y'all!
	♥ 8:52am fred: ↳ Fredericks @8:49 Wolf Chimes
	♥ 8:52am gnarly_gnarwhal: Awesome show Brian D! Thanks for a great soundtrack for my morning on the Erie Canal trail
	8:53am Fredericks: ↳ fred @8:52 Nice!
	♥ 8:53am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @8:52 Just didn't get to it, Fredericks. There's no shortage of stuff, sadly.
	♥ 8:54am fred: ↳ Fredericks @8:53 I'm just bitter that I missed Wolf Eyes last month. Dance...
	⚡ ♥ 8:54am McGroovey: ↳ Fredericks @8:49 Sugarchime, Superchime, The Chime, The Chimes (I'll always get those two confused with each other), Chime (totally different band, without The), The Chime (a supergroup featuring members of Radiohead and U2),... So many ideas; so little coffee
	♥ 8:55am Brian D: ↳ McGroovey @8:49 Creamo is a tastemaker. I listened to most of the show yesterday but missed the Chime Oblivion I guess. Great record: www.stereogum.com...
	8:55am Uncle Monk: ↳ McGroovey @8:49 Creamo played "Heated Horses" yesterday and Medson played the title track. Meanwhile yesterday Nate K. also played FACS. All popular right now.
	8:55am London Calling Francky on the app: Thank you for an amazing show Brian! Perfect soundtrack for my reading of the newly arrived WFMU LCD vol 28!
	8:56am Fredericks: The heavy side of the 'Horn.
	♥ 8:56am Brian D: Alright all, that's about it for me. Three hours flies. Thank you all for joining me. Hope to have a guest next week. Stay safe and have a great weekend.
	♥ 8:56am Listener Jonny in MA/RI: ↳ Song: "Train" by "Elkhorn" Spectacular! Great show Brian!
	⚡ ♥ 8:56am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Train" by "Elkhorn" I just tried to go buy this CD on Bandcamp, but it's sold out. Impulse purchase, foiled.
	8:57am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @8:53 You need a daily slot.
	⚡ ♥ 8:57am tom tom the pipers son: sounds harsh to say but just because someone has a diagnosis does not automatically make them a good artist…only perpetuates stereotypes
	♥ 8:57am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @8:57 Haven't you all suffered enough?
	♥ 8:58am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:57 On that we totally agree. The diagnosis doesn't make the art. The artist does. And the art I've seen from those artists is mostly great.
	⚡ ♥ 8:58am Will thee SG OCNY: Thank you Brian D!!! Be well everyone, stay safe!!!
	⚡ ♥ 8:59am McGroovey: ↳ Fredericks @8:57 Brian, you should crash Jim's show like he crashes everyone else's. Not that I'm complaining; Jim is a ball of laughs. But, yeah, just show up and walk in and start talking about movies. He can't stop you. 🤣🤣🤣
	♥ 8:59am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:58 Thanks Brian!
	⚡ ♥ 8:59am TDK60: A "not-bad" show, Brian! See ya soon, and all Currentsees.
	⚡ ♥ 9:00am NotARealDoctor: Thanks Brian! Have a great week! Enjoy your trip!

	⚡ ♥ 6:28am TDK60: Good morning, Brian.
	♥ 6:29am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:28 Hey there, TDK.
	6:29am Fred and Alan: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:27 NOTAREALDOCTOR SERVING THE NICEST PEOPLE ON EARTH EACH ONE IS NICER THAN THE NEXT
	⚡ ♥ 6:31am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Fred and Alan @6:29 Haha let me guess perfect sweeties to the core every one of them
	⚡ ♥ 6:35am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Song: "Clip: WCCO-Minnesota sues Trump administration" This one made me cry a little too hear someone say they would rather lose than sell out trans kids
	6:35am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:25 Oh, interesting.
	♥ 6:35am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:26 Not much was my issue. He was standing with a game console controller really static. No issue with that (I'm small so I don't care about seeing what's going on). My problem was that it sounded like he was switching through a planned sequence of sounds which made a little too much sense, so it became predictable
	♥ 6:40am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:35 Keith Ellison is legit.
	♥ 6:42am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:35 I've not seen him perform, but my understanding was/is that the performances were sort of improv? I guess that's changed?
	♥ 6:42am fred: ↳ fred @6:35 On the other hand, he had no records to sell, but piles of two books. One of a kind guy
	⚡ ♥ 6:42am TDK60: Bonjour Fred & Alan, NARD, Fred, Fredericks, et al.
	♥ 6:45am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:42 Books?! Are those like tweets?
	⚡ ♥ 6:45am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & Co. fred, best wishes for the next two weeks.
	⚡ ♥ 6:46am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Brian D @6:40 protecting children is such a low low bar and I've watched so many Democrats trip over it in the last few years trying to win Republican votes
	♥ 6:46am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:45 Good day, Brian.
	♥ 6:47am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:46 I get it.
	♥ 6:47am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:42 I think it was improv, but improv often relies on well-worn routines. It sounded to me like a sequence of loops, but maybe I was in a bad mood. I take the blame
	⚡ ♥ 6:49am TDK60: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:46 Hi N.A.R.D. Trying to placate the Republican bullies? Not a worthwhile plan.
	6:51am London Calling Francky on the app: Buongiorno Brian, Spike, TDK, Fred and Alan and all dedicated currentits out there... late to the party but very much here with you all!
	♥ 6:52am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:49 And yet...
	♥ 6:52am fred: ↳ NotARealDoctor @6:46 In a fair world, state power should be used to protect the weakest, not the strongest, no matter their age. We don't live there, obviously. Never have, but this is blatant now
	♥ 6:52am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky on the app @6:51 Better late than never, LCF. Good day.
	⚡ ♥ 6:55am Brian in UK: Mona looks a lot like Neil from The Young Ones. encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com...
	♥ 6:55am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:55 "Have we got a video?... Yes we've got a bloody video!"
	♥ 6:56am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:55 That's the Mona Lisa and not Mona the DJ, for clarification.
	7:00am London Calling Francky on the app: @Brian D for some reason this Neil's line popped into my mind "Come on guys, I don't think we should let this experience bring us down. After all, what's so wrong with dirty clothes anyway?"
	7:08am Cooh John: Ougee is an inspiration for my photography.
	7:08am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Hey, Brian, I know you to be a reader. I'm laid up these days and have had occasion to read "Chicago" by Brian Doyle, which is a wacky but eminently readable novel that I recommend wholeheartedly.
	⚡ ♥ 7:10am tom tom the pipers son: Times 4/26/25 Overwhelmed in the Wine Aisle as the Piercing Shadows of Uncertainty Paralyze Businesses Downtown After a Chain Saw Attack On City Trees in a Moment of Truth, A Civil Rights Inquiry Opens Into The Terrifying Prospect Of The Very Territorial Caterpillar Accused of Fatally Torturing a Child While Raising Tensions In a Fun and Unpredictable Game Show That Cures All My Hangovers
	⚡ ♥ 7:10am TDK60: On another NYC exhibit. Today is the last day of one at the Emily Harvey Foundation gallery at 537 Broadway near Spring St. It's on 45 years of the ABC No Rio center, a radical arts/music/etc. space.
	⚡ ♥ 7:11am TDK60: ↳ London Calling Francky on the app @6:51 Good morning Francky.
	7:12am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Praise for Chicago “In this gorgeous novel, the protagonist is the setting. Although it’s full of interesting characters and surprising events, and the narrative is spun with great skill, the true spell it casts on the reader is the spell of atmosphere, its portrait of a time and place so complete that this becomes reading experience that feels like a life experience—the details are that vivid, and the immersion that complete. Chicago is memorable, original, and full of passionate exploration.” —Laura Kasischke, National Book Critics Circle Award winner for Space, In Chains
	♥ 7:12am Brian D: Weegee: Society of the Spectacle, for those interested: www.icp.org... And American Job: www.icp.org...
	♥ 7:12am Brian D: And, Anonymous Was a Woman: greyartmuseum.nyu.edu...
	♥ 7:12am alanSixº: hello!
	♥ 7:13am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky on the app @7:00 That's a good one. Man, that show was brilliant.
	♥ 7:14am Brian D: ↳ Geoffrey in Ottawa @7:08 Thank you, Geoffrey. I'll check it out. Reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, hence the quote at the top of the playlist.

	♥ 7:18am Brian D: ↳ alanSixº @7:17 Perpetually groggy, but fine otherwise.
	⚡ ♥ 7:19am NotARealDoctor: morning Alan, i need some advice from an unqualified professional. My boss wants me to go to work today but my dog wants me to lay in bed with him all day who should i listen to?
	♥ 7:21am alanSixº: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:19 well i would neee to know more about ur financial status and job security before i tell u to do the obvious but i'll be doing ask alan may 13 if the situation should happen again
	♥ 7:22am alanSixº: ↳ alanSixº @7:21 i say this cuddled up with tico
	⚡ ♥ 7:25am NotARealDoctor: ↳ alanSixº @7:21 Unfortunately still in my 90 day probationary period and not yet allowed to join the union so I guess Cooper gets disappointed again 😔
	♥ 7:25am fred: ↳ alanSixº @7:22 I guess I know which side Tico would take
	⚡ ♥ 7:25am Will thee SG OCNY: Good morning Brian D and all!!!

	⚡ ♥ 7:28am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Rakim" by "Dead Can Dance" I haven't heard DCD in a while.
	♥ 7:29am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:28 I've been on a kick for two weeks now.
	♥ 7:29am alanSixº: speaking of, we'll be tuned in from our morning walk - catch y'all a lil later
	♥ 7:30am Brian D: ↳ alanSixº @7:29 Enjoy Alan.
	♥ 7:30am alanSixº: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:25 hey will ✌🏼
	7:31am London Calling Francky on the app: Oh wow, Dead Can Dance! That brings me back to some interesting London Goth nights back 25 or so years ago! Amazing vibes!
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ alanSixº @7:30 Hi alanSix°, I hope all is good
	♥ 7:36am fred: @Brian: Makes sense to me: I'm pretty sure Rakim (the MC) has been influenced by Gil Scott-Heron
	♥ 7:37am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:36 Nice one, Fred. I wish I had thought of that.
	7:39am judy from croton: Such tragedy that Gil Scott-Heron is not here to lay it on the line for us today
	⚡ ♥ 7:41am PKNY: ↳ judy from croton @7:39 This was recorded in 1973, before Nixon resigned. We've been in the midst of "Winter in America" the entire time...my whole life...with no end in sight...
	7:45am rich in angleton: good morning Brian and everyone out in radioland! a bit of a late start for me this morning but I'm happy to be here!

	♥ 7:53am fred: ↳ Song: "Yew's Path" by "Kuunatic" On the other hand, I love Kuunatic

	⚡ ♥ 8:02am radioronan: Good morning Brian & all! I need to catch up on last week's show with the Gowanus Current doc makers..heading to the Philly Nick Cave show tonight!
	⚡ ♥ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian re: living museum…participants comprised of 'non patients’ as well… people with a mental health diagnosis not living in a hospital setting… visited the place and felt it was a ghetto and just a frame where people are conceptually institutionalized for the sake of commodification of their artwork. as evidenced by your description of the museum being for creedmore patients….i believe max ernst visited the living museum…that’s how i found out about it
	♥ 8:02am milk t: ↳ Song: "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)" by "Janis Joplin" janis you beautiful soul
	8:03am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Broadcast premiere! Again, thank you! Love from France. 🇫🇷

	♥ 8:08am fred: @Brian: nailed it!
	♥ 8:13am William Hellfire: 4-20 is also anniversary of Columbine school shooting.
	⚡ ♥ 8:15am TDK60: People talk on transit? I usually see them silent with eyeballs glued to their so-called smart gizmos. I often mutter under my breath a line from Mark Stewart: "hypnotized." Then I loudly shout out quotes from Guy Debord's 'Society of the Spectacle.' Just kidding.
	♥ 8:15am milk t: omg lol
	8:16am Random Control: Jim is so damn funny, like that rare REAL funny. PS: won't you consider a poetry/spoken word/comedy show?
	⚡ ♥ 8:18am Spikey BXL: Watching Inglorious Basterds seems a fitting one for Hitler's birthday, short of punching a nazi.
	8:18am kevlicki: May Day is Jay day! The Yippies used to do their pot march the beginning of May in Washington Square Park
	8:18am Random Control: I should say poetry and/or comedy show. They may not be expected bed fellows.
	♥ 8:19am William Hellfire: When I saw MDC in a swat in NYC the singer came out smoking a Roach.
	⚡ ♥ 8:20am Spikey BXL: And with Celtic's 1888 the nazi numerology bingo is complete
	8:21am edfromnewbeige: Haha! I don’t once made plans (pre cell phone era) to meet my brother at North Station only to realize upon arrival that the Dead were in town! I had to abandon the scene and he eventually found his way to my apartment ..
	⚡ ♥ 8:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Long live Pistol Pete Maravich! 🏀
	⚡ ♥ 8:22am radioronan: The amtrak northeast nyc to boston (and reverse) overheard convos are legend..for real. Hence the reason to migrate to the quiet car that does not remain quiet for long..
	⚡ ♥ 8:23am ∫ydniuß: go Erie Epithets!
	⚡ ♥ 8:23am Spikey BXL: Get in, Celtic!
	♥ 8:23am fred: The fans were far less upset with the name than with Snyder
	8:24am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Brian & Jim! Atlantic City is GREAT.
	⚡ ♥ 8:26am ∫ydniuß: it’s white smoke, not blue
	♥ 8:26am erik: Just watched "Bringing out the Dead" with my EMT son, gritty early '90s NYC from Scorsese.
	⚡ ♥ 8:27am Spikey BXL: That pun was bold
	⚡ ♥ 8:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:05 picking up the thread after jim the poet….probably the same excuse for any other type of ghetto….the problem has to do with stereotypes of mental difference and marginalization of certain groups….why isn’t the work in any other gallery?
	⚡ ♥ 8:29am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Life Stinks" by "Pere Ubu" Golly, what did Ohio do to these poor souls?
	♥ 8:30am fred: So it's "bring out your dead" day? (Monty Python)
	⚡ ♥ 8:30am Spikey BXL: ↳ TDK60 @8:29 I like the call back to earlier this week. Hiya Teeds
	⚡ ♥ 8:31am McGroovey: I want to go see Fellini's 8½ in its current run at the Film Forum, but I'd actually have to make a plan to do that. And the Zombies documentary Hang Onto A Dream (or is it On To?), but it's playing the weekend we're away in Ohio, fetching the youngest daughter from college.
	⚡ ♥ 8:32am TDK60: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:30 Hey Spikey along Thames! RIP David. The P.U. combo was /way ahead/ of most other combos.
	⚡ ♥ 8:32am tom tom the pipers son: and thinking of art making as art therapy is a misconception of art and based in cliches of the ego centric american based therapy
	♥ 8:34am Brian D: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:27 BOOM
	♥ 8:35am fred: I only saw David Thomas twice. With Pere Ubu he was angry and blasted the opening band (rightfully, they played far too long, as friends of the venue). With Pale Boys he was sweet and had crew help him to sit on the edge of the stage to chat and sign stuff
	♥ 8:36am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:35 He and Rocket from the Tombs played a great show here at Monty Hall in 2015 and he was super nice.
	8:38am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Clampdown (Live from the Lewisham Odeon)" by "The... Do I hear a keyboard in the background?
	⚡ ♥ 8:38am TDK60: Yeah, I've been thinking of this song lately!
	⚡ ♥ 8:39am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @8:38 ...by the Clash of London.
	⚡ ♥ 8:40am McGroovey: ↳ Brian D @8:36 Was I at that show? I feel like I was, and yet I have no specific memory if it That wasn't a rhetorical question, Brian. Do you remember if I was there? 🤣🤣🤣
	♥ 8:41am Brian D: ↳ McGroovey @8:40 I barely remember that I was.
	⚡ ♥ 8:41am McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @8:40 Maybe "rhetorical" is the wrong word. I haven't had my coffee yet.
	8:42am Uncle Monk: Deerhoof has been pretty busy the past four years.
	♥ 8:43am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:36 I think he was a nice guy (people I know who worked on shows all agreed). But with no patience for entitlement, and a showman who knew Pere Ubu fans expected some anger
	⚡ ♥ 8:43am Spikey BXL: Thanks Brian. Final 20 minutes will be ears only as I watch my youngest warm up for his final ⚽️ game of the regular season. (Second, and they threw it away themselves by being cocky)
	♥ 8:45am fred: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:43 There's a good lesson in there though. Learning is good, and mistakes make it stick
	8:48am London Calling Francky on the app: @TDK60 I missed the Clash to a delicious lunch of grilled vegetables wrap 😱
	⚡ ♥ 8:48am tom tom the pipers son: hey brian i notce you’re not responding to follow up comments re: living museum…. do you think my comments are off base?
	⚡ ♥ 8:49am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Kiss Her Or Be Her" by "Chime Oblivion" Creamo played Chime Oblivion song yesterday. Was it this one? It's good. And it's not Chime School (whom I like also). Is there going to be a new bunch of bands with Chime in their names, like so the SugarX and SuperX bands in the nineties? Closing time
	8:49am Fredericks: ↳ McGroovey @8:49 Chime Wolf
	⚡ ♥ 8:51am 12539: Thanks, Brian.
	8:52am Fredericks: Why haven't you mentioned this yet, Brian? New College of Florida admin arrested, fired for ‘exposure of sexual organs’ Fred Piccolo, director of marketing and media, has a history of indecent exposure allegations.
	♥ 8:52am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:48 Just busy, Tom Tom. But I'm not sure I agree with you. I see the initiative as an effort to get these artists a wider audience. But agree to disagree.
	⚡ ♥ 8:52am radioronan: Thanks Brian..cheers y'all!
	♥ 8:52am fred: ↳ Fredericks @8:49 Wolf Chimes
	♥ 8:52am gnarly_gnarwhal: Awesome show Brian D! Thanks for a great soundtrack for my morning on the Erie Canal trail
	8:53am Fredericks: ↳ fred @8:52 Nice!
	♥ 8:53am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @8:52 Just didn't get to it, Fredericks. There's no shortage of stuff, sadly.
	♥ 8:54am fred: ↳ Fredericks @8:53 I'm just bitter that I missed Wolf Eyes last month. Dance...
	⚡ ♥ 8:54am McGroovey: ↳ Fredericks @8:49 Sugarchime, Superchime, The Chime, The Chimes (I'll always get those two confused with each other), Chime (totally different band, without The), The Chime (a supergroup featuring members of Radiohead and U2),... So many ideas; so little coffee
	♥ 8:55am Brian D: ↳ McGroovey @8:49 Creamo is a tastemaker. I listened to most of the show yesterday but missed the Chime Oblivion I guess. Great record: www.stereogum.com...
	8:55am Uncle Monk: ↳ McGroovey @8:49 Creamo played "Heated Horses" yesterday and Medson played the title track. Meanwhile yesterday Nate K. also played FACS. All popular right now.
	8:55am London Calling Francky on the app: Thank you for an amazing show Brian! Perfect soundtrack for my reading of the newly arrived WFMU LCD vol 28!
	8:56am Fredericks: The heavy side of the 'Horn.

	♥ 8:56am Listener Jonny in MA/RI: ↳ Song: "Train" by "Elkhorn" Spectacular! Great show Brian!
	⚡ ♥ 8:56am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Train" by "Elkhorn" I just tried to go buy this CD on Bandcamp, but it's sold out. Impulse purchase, foiled.
	8:57am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @8:53 You need a daily slot.
	⚡ ♥ 8:57am tom tom the pipers son: sounds harsh to say but just because someone has a diagnosis does not automatically make them a good artist…only perpetuates stereotypes
	♥ 8:57am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @8:57 Haven't you all suffered enough?
	♥ 8:58am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:57 On that we totally agree. The diagnosis doesn't make the art. The artist does. And the art I've seen from those artists is mostly great.
	⚡ ♥ 8:58am Will thee SG OCNY: Thank you Brian D!!! Be well everyone, stay safe!!!
	⚡ ♥ 8:59am McGroovey: ↳ Fredericks @8:57 Brian, you should crash Jim's show like he crashes everyone else's. Not that I'm complaining; Jim is a ball of laughs. But, yeah, just show up and walk in and start talking about movies. He can't stop you. 🤣🤣🤣
	♥ 8:59am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:58 Thanks Brian!
