Listener comments!
	4:01pm northguineahills: laut auflachen!
	4:02pm Webhamster Henry: This is a nice change! although I kind of expect to hear the Hungarian one next!
	4:02pm fred: Good evening David and all
	4:03pm doctorjazz: Hi. Liked the change in the opening
	4:03pm David D: Good evening and afternoon, NGH, Henry, and Fred!
	4:03pm David D: And Doctorjazz!
	4:04pm Webhamster Henry: Today: a salute to Berlin , if I recall correctly.
	4:05pm doctorjazz: First , we take Manhattan...
	4:06pm David D: Exactly - and we will.
	🚂 4:07pm Yvang: Ich bin ein Berliner.
	4:08pm David D: Hallo Yvang!
	🚂 4:08pm Yvang: Hallo David!
	4:08pm Webhamster Henry: My sister is there at the Max Planck Institute for a few more weeks. Although I think she's over in London on a side trip.
	🚂 4:09pm Carmichael: Ich bin ein Californian.
	4:09pm David D: Oh nice, which MPI is she at?
	4:10pm David D: Hey Carmichael!
	4:10pm Webhamster Henry: Ich bin ein Zwetschkenknödel.
	4:12pm David D: Berliner are jelly doughnuts here and Amerikaner are big frosted cookies.
	4:12pm Webhamster Henry: @DD The Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte / Boltzmannstraße
	4:12pm melinda: Hello u-bahners
	4:13pm David D: Greetings, Melinda!
	🚂 4:13pm Yvang: I remember Ideal, they also made some "reggae" songs.
	4:13pm Parq: Mrs. Parq and I are making our way through the third season of "The Man in the High Castle". I need not elaborate, this cheerful nod to the real-life Berlin is a bit of cognitive dissonance.
	4:16pm David D: Parq - yes, I can imagine!
	4:24pm northguineahills: I thought the Ezsett was discontinued from the modern German language 20 years ago, it make it easier for me to spell scheisse....
	4:26pm David D: Sorry, NGH, they just "simplified" the rules to make it ß after long vowels, so it's still Scheiße after all. But Schloss instead of Schloß. I know that made it really simple...
	4:29pm fred: @ngh: is that the same reform that turned "ö" into "oe"? That change didn't make life really simple for one of my bosses who has documents with both spellings... It's not as if the French administration was aware of these subtleties
	🚂 4:32pm Carmichael: i before e, except after c. And y is sometimes a vowel.
	4:33pm Sem: Hello, David, subway-ers, all. Lovin' the theme today.
	4:36pm David D: Hello Sem - glad you are enjoying it!
	4:37pm Stanley: Hallo David, wie geht's?
	4:37pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, David and fellow passengers!
	4:38pm David D: Fred: Oe is only used if to replace the ö if it technically difficult to use it. The umlauts/dots are the only spelling regularly used in German-speaking countries. I'm sure the French administration manage the best they can.
	4:39pm David D: Hallo Stanley and Doug!
	4:41pm Parq: Sem, that Sarah lady from "The Incredibles" is a vowel, too.
	🚂 4:43pm Carmichael: Now I'm thinking of my own Anglo Irish pronunciation rules. They're a separate nightmare ...
	4:45pm fred: @David: they do manage the best they can... or rather care, which isn't much. Probably hoping for a bribe to grease the wheels
	4:49pm David D: Fred: I can pay them in diaereses and other special characters.
	4:50pm glenn: sarah vowell. one of my favourite writers.
	4:51pm David D: Hey Glenn!
	4:55pm glenn: hello. gearing up for legal weed tomorrow.
	🚂 4:55pm Carmichael: Buy a fancy holster for your lighter, Glenn.
	4:55pm David D: Yes, congratulations on that!
	4:56pm northguineahills: Gee, I can't think of any more songs named "Berlin". what are we to do?
	4:56pm fred: @David: German has a pretty lame diacritics game. Look at Vietnamese to see how it's done (I'm kind of a Unicode geek)
	4:56pm glenn: i didn't say i was going to be partaking.
	4:57pm David D: Glenn: Well congratulations if it is something you are happy about, I suppose.
	4:59pm northguineahills: FL may be backwards, but at least my town FINALLY got three legal medicinal mj dispensaries. That said, w/in city limits, as long as you're not obnoxious or a dick, the cops here usually ignore any smoking (see it all the time w/in a cop's nose all the time). mj is the only thing that mostly helps my insomnia, although 1/4 ounce lasts me a year.
	4:59pm glenn: totally happy. and soon i won't have to hear about it anymore.
	🚂 4:59pm Carmichael: Then get a fancy holder for your gas mask, Glenn.
	5:00pm Webhamster Henry: There's Berlin Im Licht (Kurt Weill)
	5:01pm northguineahills: Turkish and Romanian have fun diacritic marks as well. There still developing the Kazakhstani latin diacritics, since it's been about a year since they've adopted the Latin alphabet.
	5:04pm Webhamster Henry: Unicode can combine a whole lot of diacriticals. If you look at a glyph collection, especially for phonetic alphabet use, it's pretty astounding!
	5:06pm northguineahills: This is the only unicode that matters to me! en.wikipedia.org...
	5:07pm doctorjazz: TMBG! Don't hear them enough Love that band !
	5:08pm David D: Doc: This was actually one of the first songs I thought of for the show. Strange, I know.
	5:08pm Webhamster Henry: I see your Akkadian and play Linear B: en.wikipedia.org...
	5:08pm northguineahills: Wow, this TMBG takes me back!
	5:09pm Rich in Washington: This is the best song from Blade Runner that was never in Blade Runner, IMHO.
	5:12pm fred: @ngh: Great, another Kazakh script. As if I didn't have enough trouble googling a Kazakh singer I like a lot thanks to random transliteration
	5:13pm David D: Hello Rich - sounds about right!
	🚂 5:13pm Carmichael: A Social Security scammer just called me and interrupted the FMU phone app. I took the opportunity to alert them to FMU and the pledge drive.
	🚂 5:14pm Carmichael: Flood is a pretty darn good album.
	5:15pm Rich in Washington: Flood is indeed amazing. I should probably pull it out and listen to it again soon.
	5:15pm David D: Carmichael: That is the perfect response.
	5:15pm northguineahills: @fred: third Kazakh script in a century (Arabic/Cyrillic/Latin). For 15 years, scholars have been requesting Old Hanzi oracle bone script in unicode, but to no avail....
	5:17pm David D: NGH: Oracle bone script would definitely have my vote.
	5:20pm fred: @ngh: they're too busy adding emojis (which may actually improve Unicode support beyond the 16-bit range, the way Beyoncé shut up many 7-bit holdovers in the music industry)
	5:38pm northguineahills: mechanik destruktiw komandoh, new to me!
	5:39pm northguineahills: I can recognize any Jay-Z song, but I have no clue what Beyonce sounds like.....
	5:40pm David D: She sounds almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Mekanik Destrüktiw Komandöh.
	5:44pm spodiodi: nice show :)
	5:45pm northguineahills: wait, there is a Linear A unicode? it hasn't been deciphered yet!
	5:46pm fred: Mekanik Destrüktiw Komandöh kinda reminded me of Khlam
	5:49pm fred: Is that name a nod to Magma?
	5:52pm northguineahills: Still haven't found a restaurant outside of Japan that makes yakisoba as well as I can (and that includes NYC)
	5:53pm David D: Thanks, Spodiodi!
	5:55pm David D: Fred: Yes, thanks - that was what I was trying to come up on mic before.
	5:55pm David D: (The Magma, not the Khlam, of course!)
	5:59pm Stanley: Have been listening and enjoying but now time for bed. Thanks, David.
	6:01pm David D: Thanks and good night, Stanley!
	6:01pm fred: Fitting that Magma came up, there are a lot of diacritics in Kobaïan. A friend did a documentary about their tour in China, one of the rewards was having Christian Vander giving pledgers a Kobaïan name. I don't know much about their music, though
	6:04pm David D: Maybe I'll play their original Mekanik at some point - funky 70s stuff.
	6:05pm doctorjazz: Enjoying the jazz /jazzy set,, time to take off, catch you in the car, thanks David, it was a mini vacation
	6:06pm David D: Thanks, Doc, have a good ride home...
	6:07pm doctorjazz: (this reminds me a bit of early Carla Bley...)
	6:08pm fred: I think Oliver Benoit's tenure as director of the ONJ ends this year, it might take a different direction then
	6:12pm David D: Fred: I see Frédéric Maurin will be next. I'll have to see what he's done before...
	6:30pm northguineahills: Pago Pago next week?
	6:31pm David D: Next week is looking like a urban tour of Africa.
	6:33pm northguineahills: Windy Windhoek? (I know there are songs in Deutsche about Windhoek.)
	6:37pm David D: NGH: That would be quite a find. I wonder...
	6:37pm northguineahills: I could also go for a Kinshasa vs Brazzaville cage match showdown, two Congos enter, only one exits! (to be refereed by a Belgian....wait, too soon???)
	6:40pm David D: NGH: Good idea, in any case I'm sure there will be a -ville or two...
	6:41pm northguineahills: I've found old comics and postcards about Windhoek in Deustsche online (there still is a small minority Germany speaking population, and even an German kreole (that had nearly died out).
	6:42pm David D: The creole must be fascinating - I will have to look for that.
	6:44pm David D: Much of this set is also a linguistic tribute to the Berlin dialect.
	6:50pm Doug Schulkind: And it's a tribute to you and your wonderful selections, David.
	6:50pm northguineahills: Of course, Namibia was where the Germans got their start on genocide (the Hereros and Namaqua). But it was the British next door who started the concept of the concentration camp on the Afrikaners during the Boer Wars. (ok, only happy thoughts now!) I can only tell the difference b/tn High and Low German (Bavarian especially) on the former).
	6:51pm David D: Thanks, Doug! I will blush a bit and then go on mic...
	6:54pm northguineahills: Thankd, David!
	7:00pm David D: And thanks NGH and everyone - have a great week...
	7:59pm Webhamster Henry: I had to cut out - did you play anything with dialogue in Berliner Accent? It's one I don't know too well!
	8:06pm David D: Yes, Henry, most of the oldest tracks towards the end feature a strong Berlin dialect.
