	12:06pm David (in London): Sem on the Bay.
	🚂 12:06pm YETI BOB: D(iL) - I enjoyed our conversation about Julian Cope yesterday. After that I was inspired to check out what he's been up to lately, and I wound up purchasing & downloading "Drunken Songs".
	12:06pm Really Lisa: Hi Yeti B, David iL,Sylvia, spodi, Handy, everyone. Hope all are holding it together.
	🚂 12:07pm YETI BOB: @D(iL): Have you heard that one? Mrs Yeti and I listened to it and it really made us want to drink - so we did. It's a very effective album & a ton of fun to listen (and drink) to.
	12:08pm Sem: David (iL). Semaphore flags signaling Hulllllloooo!
	12:11pm David (in London): Yeti Bob - That's one of the great things about Cope (and I would probably say the same about Nick Cave, too): you can duck out for long stretches, but when you're ready, you can dive back in, hear lots of great new stuff, and remember all over again why you loved them in the first place. I've played loads of his stuff this summer after that gig.
	12:11pm David (in London): No, don't have that one, but that might soon need to be rectified...
	🚂 12:12pm YETI BOB: It's a good 'un!
	12:13pm David Dichelle: Lisa: Just about - hope you are as well.
	🚂 12:14pm Handy Haversack: David, Lisa, hi! Gonna make some lunch, but I'm listening.
	🚂 12:14pm YETI BOB: Includes the song "As the Beer Flows Over Me" which he says he wrote for his own funeral, and the epic "On The Road to Tralee" (it's a very long road, because they keep stopping for another drink along the way). Mrs Yeti is not quite as big a Cope fan as I am, and she said "This is really good!"
	🚂 12:14pm Brian in UK: Hello David & strap hangers.
	12:15pm David Dichelle: Hello Brian!
	🚂 12:17pm YETI BOB: @D(iL): The Cope record made us want to hoist several pints, and it also really made us want to go visit Ireland and England - as soon as conditions permit.
	🚂 12:18pm chresti: Hi David and Continentals!
	🚂 12:19pm βrian: Can one be hoist with his own tankard?
	12:19pm Sem: Hiya, chresti. Left coast still attached to the mainland, I guess?
	12:19pm David (in London): Sold Y.B. And how can you not love a man whose recent compilation was called 'Trip Advizor'! And boy, it would be great to see you and the Countess in Olde Albion when the world once more permits... Hi Brian.
	12:21pm Honeybear: Es lebe WFMU!
	12:22pm doctorjazz: Hi, David!
	🚂 12:23pm Brian in UK: What-ho, David in norf lunnon.
	12:23pm David Dichelle: Welcome Chresti and Dr. J.!
	12:26pm David Dichelle: Honeybear - und lange!
	🚂 12:26pm Handy Haversack: Hi, chresti!
	🚂 12:26pm chresti: Hi Handy!
	🚂 12:27pm chresti: Hiya Sem, still here!
	🚂 12:28pm Handy Haversack: Ewan!
	12:29pm Stanley: Friends! What an assembly this is. And a big hello to our Master of Ceremonies.
	🚂 12:30pm chresti: Hi Stanley!
	🚂 12:30pm Handy Haversack: That Ewan MacColl track was smoking! Hey, Stanley!
	12:30pm StringOFperils: 'Tis a wonder to hear old Ewan on the box. Aye.
	12:30pm otto: I've got a KILLER Clayton Lumberjack Album - top notch!
	🚂 12:31pm Handy Haversack: I would take a dram of the Royal Lochnagar right now, I tell you that much.
	12:32pm David Dichelle: Massive hellos back to you Stanley, String, Otto!
	12:33pm StringOFperils: It would no be appropriate ta nae join ye, Handy.
	🚂 12:34pm Carmichael: Here for the Roud! Heya David and winners!
	12:34pm David Dichelle: Hey there Carmichael!
	🚂 12:35pm chresti: Carmichael, let's jig!
	🚂 12:36pm Handy Haversack: And welcome you'd be, SrtringOFperils!
	🚂 12:37pm Carmichael: I'll slip-jig, reel OR gandy dance!
	12:37pm David (in London): Hey Stanley and Carmichael.
	12:38pm Sem: Feets, start dancing.
	🚂 12:39pm chresti: Hey ho StringO!
	12:41pm StringOFperils: Hi chresti! Hi everybody!
	🚂 12:42pm YETI BOB: My guess: Niue
	🚂 12:43pm YETI BOB: I never heard of that country before but that's what my program printed out! 1 in 249 chances of being correct :)
	12:44pm David Dichelle: YB: You may be right or maybe niuet.
	🚂 12:46pm Handy Haversack: This is what happens after the War with the Newts, YB, at least according to Čapek.
	12:46pm Irene: I often forget how great Kate is!
	12:46pm Honeybear: all countries are imaginary anyway
	12:47pm David Dichelle: YB: I think we're down to around 228 more or less viable countries and territories left.
	12:47pm David Dichelle: Hello Irene!
	🚂 12:47pm YETI BOB: (Reading up on Niue) - A coral island in the South Pacific, people go there for the dark sky. @HH: Nice háček there!
	12:47pm David Dichelle: Honeybear: Arbitrary at best.
	🚂 12:48pm Carmichael: Oh hey, what's the artsy wood carving, David?
	12:49pm David Dichelle: Dividing the world neatly into countries is in fact a qualm I have about the series, but it is a good way of covering a lot of territory/ies as it were.
	12:50pm David Dichelle: Carmichael: It is called "Balance?!" by Christian Schmidt, 2018.
	12:50pm Honeybear: Is that around Leipzig somewhere?
	12:51pm Irene: Loving the show as I drive, so not much commenting
	12:51pm David Dichelle: It is between Leipzig and Zeitz along the Elster-Radwanderweg bike path.
	12:52pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Irene - stay safe out there!
	12:54pm Honeybear: @david - cool, I'll keep a look out for it
	12:55pm David Dichelle: Honeybear: Do you pass that way often?
	12:55pm David Dichelle: (Do I know you by another name?)
	🚂 12:55pm Carmichael: Celtic hoomei!
	🚂 12:56pm Handy Haversack: This is great.
	🚂 12:56pm YETI BOB: @HH: I need to re-read "War With The Newts", Čapek was such a visionary/genius. I'd love to get my hands on this edition: upload.wikimedia.org... On a related note, I'm sure you've read "We" by Yevgeny Zamayatin, right?
	🚂 12:57pm YETI BOB: (that's from 1955 and just so pulp-fiction-trash looking!)
	🚂 12:58pm Michael 98145: into the up and out
	12:59pm Will in Raleigh: is this breton?
	12:59pm David Dichelle: Hey there Michael!
	12:59pm David Dichelle: Hey Will, yes it is.
	1:00pm Will in Raleigh: i thought so. always sounds like welsh spoken with a french accent
	1:00pm David Dichelle: Yes, Breton and Welsh are very closely related.
	🚂 1:00pm YETI BOB: This is reminding me of "Tuva-Irish live music project" by Sainkho Namtchylak and Roy Carroll ... haven't thought about that in a while. Is throat-singing traditional in Breton music or is this a cross-cultural influence?
	🚂 1:01pm Brian in UK: I think it was Alan Stivell many years ago from the French North-West I remember hearing.
	🚂 1:02pm Handy Haversack: Ooo, yeah, YB. I think this is the edition I have: external-content.duckduckgo.com... I don't think I ever have read /We/!
	1:02pm David (in London): Brian, I was just about to mention Alan Stivell. Always been a big fan of his.
	🚂 1:04pm YETI BOB: @HH: That's the classic "psychological" cover, using some Max Ernst or other surrealistic artwork to suggest "modern" and "brainy".
	1:04pm Will in Raleigh: @yeti i'd say it's a cross-cultural influence in the case of this track, has a pretty fusiony feel in general. Though Irish & scottish mouth music/Puirt à beul does have some similarities with throat singing & i wouldn't be surprised if there's a similar tradition in brittany
	🚂 1:05pm Handy Haversack: This Amsterdam sounds like a party town, as Clay would say.
	1:05pm Honeybear: Would love to hear this band whilst wandering the canals...
	🚂 1:06pm YETI BOB: Since the topic of book covers came up I can't resist posting this, totally brilliant artwork by Todd Alcott lithub.com...
	1:06pm Honeybear: Would love to be able to get to wander any part of Amsterdam again, period. Some day ...
	1:07pm Sem: Angels chanting, my, my, my.
	🚂 1:08pm YETI BOB: @Will: Thanks!
	🚂 1:09pm Brian in UK: Are Klezmer bands the musical equivalent of Irish pubs?
	🚂 1:10pm Michael 98145: @YETI BOB, that is wonderful! ( We probably have some of those books :)
	1:10pm David Dichelle: Yes, I think that is a cross-cultural influence there, quite a few Breton groups like to mix traditional Breton sounds and other traditions.
	🚂 1:11pm YETI BOB: @Michael: I appreciate the attention to the small details, like "Zimmerman Books", etc.
	🚂 1:12pm Handy Haversack: Holy crap, Yeti Bob. Amazing.
	1:13pm David Dichelle: Brian, traditionally they are wedding bands but I love the idea of klezmer pubs!
	1:13pm StringOFperils: I forgot about Mari Boine. I saw her around the time of this recording. Music of the Sami people.
	🚂 1:15pm YETI BOB: If you like those, there are more Todd Alcott book covers (way too many, actually) here: www.instagram.com... - I really love the Moonage Daydream and Bizarre Love Triangle covers.
	1:16pm David Dichelle: String, saw her later that decade, it was an excellent show.
	1:17pm StringOFperils: Yes, David, agreed. I quite enjoyed it. And it introduced me to that indigenous group too.
	1:19pm David (in London): Y.B. - Those covers are absolutely great. Lovely pieces of retro design humour.
	🚂 1:19pm YETI BOB: Thanks for the Mari Boine , hadn't heard her before, that was amazing!
	🚂 1:22pm Handy Haversack: YB, I sent that LitHub URL to our Editorial, Design, and Production Dept. The designers are desperately trying to get all the covers done for the seasonal catalogue. They really appreciated it. So you've done a mitzvah for some beleaguered culture-industry workers.
	🚂 1:24pm YETI BOB: @HH: I'm so glad that you liked it and shared it with other people who appreciate this sort of thing!
	1:25pm David Dichelle: My pleasure, Yeti Bob!
	🚂 1:26pm βrian: Book covers? search.library.wisc.edu...
	1:53pm fred: Sorry I'm late, work stuff pile on late today
	1:54pm David Dichelle: Hey Fred, great to see you!
	1:56pm fred: @Yeti Bob: Does he specialize in book titles lifted from tracks I listened to many many years ago?
	🚂 1:59pm YETI BOB: @fred: I think these are tracks we all listened to many years ago! Well - it's weekly meeting time for me - I have to drop off - it's been fun - see y'all next time!
	2:01pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Yeti Bob, have a good meeting and evening...
	2:01pm fred: Damn, I missed the Roud. Those responsible for that should meet the fate of most Roud protagonists. Even more so if it was one or the rare ones that ends well
	2:06pm fred: The gram link looked fun, but it quickly asked me for a facebook login. Oh well, as I might tell to Mark Hurst, the reason I'm not willing to delete my facebook account is that I'd have to create one first
	2:10pm Stanley: Andorra. I've never been there but sounds like a strange place.
	🚂 2:10pm Michael 98145: I believe we actually -have- driven thru Andorra -- it was raining
	2:10pm Stanley: Food's probably good, though.
	2:11pm David Dichelle: I have been there, beautiful mountains, tobacco growing everywhere, very commercial main town of Andorra la Vella with all its duty-frees and the like.
	🚂 2:11pm Michael 98145: 468 square kilometres (181 sq mi)
	🚂 2:12pm Handy Haversack: Good call, fred. As for the ending of the song ... I think a case can be made that it all came off OK in this one!
	2:14pm fred: All I know about Andorra is that it's where southern French people go to buy cheap cigarettes (northern ones go to Luxemburg or Belgium)
	2:14pm David Dichelle: People here go to Poland or Czechia, I suppose everyone has to get around that cig tax.
	2:18pm fred: Also I think the French president is a prince of Andorra. Soon to be know as a Kushner of Andorra
	🚂 2:20pm Michael 98145: Well, okay!
	2:20pm David Dichelle: Indeed, co-prince along with the Bishop of Urgell. I wonder if they meet often for tea.
	🚂 2:21pm Yvang: Hi David and everyone. I am glad the Random Road segment outlives the Hellraiser Fundraiser! Andorra could be the french Delaware, except for the chemicals and Joe Biden.
	2:21pm David Dichelle: Hey Yvang - yes, it has been extended for another 228 segments! Andorra was a bit of a challenge, of course.
	2:25pm fred: @Yvang: It's not officially a French territory, though it looks that way it doesn't want to be. The French Boris maybe?
	🚂 2:27pm Yvang: @Fred : Andorrexit !
	🚂 2:28pm Yvang: I can't wait for the random Liechtenstein set some day!
	🚂 2:28pm Carmichael: Or San Marino!
	2:28pm David Dichelle: Yvang: Could be next week - I won't know for another 35 minutes myself.
	🚂 2:30pm Handy Haversack: David and train friends, I'm afraid we have to go on a supply run -- we're out of both Royal Lochnagar and cheese! Thanks for another fantastic afternoon, David. Much appreciated. Catch some of you later on the Failure Lounge.
	2:30pm Honeybear: hear Andorra roar!
	2:31pm Funky16Corners: Hi David!
	2:31pm Honeybear: failure - it's our ultimate destination
	2:32pm David Dichelle: Cheers, Handy!
	2:32pm David Dichelle: And hello there, Larry!
	2:33pm Funky16Corners: I like this piece. You always add something new to my modern classical list!
	2:35pm David Dichelle: Glad you like it, Larry, as far as I know it is the only symphony ever commissioned by the government of Andorra.
	🚂 2:36pm Michael 98145: San Marino was famous for postage stamps
	🚂 2:37pm Michael 98145: that -was- good
	🚂 2:40pm Bas NL: Hi David! All! Ahhh.. I'm too early for the archives.. :)
	2:43pm David Dichelle: Hey there Bas!
	2:48pm fred: @Bas NL: Looking up I saw a package box saying that "Bas" is French for "Low". Isn't that appropriate for someone from the Netherlands?
	🚂 2:51pm Bas NL: Yes, Bas from Les Pays-Bas! I got my own country.. then again, to many people claim that nowadays.
	2:52pm Stanley: The Lowlands of Holland is a lovely Scottish song
	2:53pm Sem: My stop. This Andorra set has been a beautiful thing. See you, David, and all, next time for more Continental Subway.
	🚂 2:53pm Michael 98145: Whoa. Thanks!
	2:53pm Stanley: (crowd bursts out in applause)
	2:53pm spodiodi: thanks, David! nice ride :)
	2:53pm David in London: Thanks David, great show today.
	🚂 2:54pm Brian in UK: Top sounds, David.
	🚂 2:54pm Yvang: Thanks, David!
	🚂 2:54pm chresti: Thanks David! Hi spodi!
	🚂 2:55pm Bas NL: Thanks for the archives already, David! Playlist reads like a train to hop on.
	2:55pm fred: I guess this the only subway I'll be hearing for a while. Luck has it it's the best
	2:55pm Stanley: Another fine piece of entertainment, David. Thanks again
	2:56pm StringOFperils: Oh my, is it really the last station on the line already? I must have fallen asleep (in 1987). Oh well, life awaits. Thanks, David. You're the bestesestest conductor ever.
	2:57pm Really Lisa: Thank you, David. Lovely show. Peace, all.
	2:59pm David Dichelle: Thanks everyone!

	🚂 12:17pm YETI BOB: @D(iL): The Cope record made us want to hoist several pints, and it also really made us want to go visit Ireland and England - as soon as conditions permit.

	🚂 12:19pm βrian: Can one be hoist with his own tankard?
	12:19pm Sem: Hiya, chresti. Left coast still attached to the mainland, I guess?
	12:19pm David (in London): Sold Y.B. And how can you not love a man whose recent compilation was called 'Trip Advizor'! And boy, it would be great to see you and the Countess in Olde Albion when the world once more permits... Hi Brian.
	12:21pm Honeybear: Es lebe WFMU!
	12:22pm doctorjazz: Hi, David!
	🚂 12:23pm Brian in UK: What-ho, David in norf lunnon.
	12:23pm David Dichelle: Welcome Chresti and Dr. J.!
	12:26pm David Dichelle: Honeybear - und lange!

	🚂 12:28pm Handy Haversack: Ewan!
	12:29pm Stanley: Friends! What an assembly this is. And a big hello to our Master of Ceremonies.
	🚂 12:30pm chresti: Hi Stanley!
	🚂 12:30pm Handy Haversack: That Ewan MacColl track was smoking! Hey, Stanley!
	12:30pm StringOFperils: 'Tis a wonder to hear old Ewan on the box. Aye.
	12:30pm otto: I've got a KILLER Clayton Lumberjack Album - top notch!
	🚂 12:31pm Handy Haversack: I would take a dram of the Royal Lochnagar right now, I tell you that much.
	12:32pm David Dichelle: Massive hellos back to you Stanley, String, Otto!
	12:33pm StringOFperils: It would no be appropriate ta nae join ye, Handy.
	🚂 12:34pm Carmichael: Here for the Roud! Heya David and winners!
	12:34pm David Dichelle: Hey there Carmichael!
	🚂 12:35pm chresti: Carmichael, let's jig!
	🚂 12:36pm Handy Haversack: And welcome you'd be, SrtringOFperils!
	🚂 12:37pm Carmichael: I'll slip-jig, reel OR gandy dance!
	12:37pm David (in London): Hey Stanley and Carmichael.
	12:38pm Sem: Feets, start dancing.
	🚂 12:39pm chresti: Hey ho StringO!
	12:41pm StringOFperils: Hi chresti! Hi everybody!
	🚂 12:42pm YETI BOB: My guess: Niue
	🚂 12:43pm YETI BOB: I never heard of that country before but that's what my program printed out! 1 in 249 chances of being correct :)
	12:44pm David Dichelle: YB: You may be right or maybe niuet.
	🚂 12:46pm Handy Haversack: This is what happens after the War with the Newts, YB, at least according to Čapek.
	12:46pm Irene: I often forget how great Kate is!
	12:46pm Honeybear: all countries are imaginary anyway
	12:47pm David Dichelle: YB: I think we're down to around 228 more or less viable countries and territories left.
	12:47pm David Dichelle: Hello Irene!
	🚂 12:47pm YETI BOB: (Reading up on Niue) - A coral island in the South Pacific, people go there for the dark sky. @HH: Nice háček there!
	12:47pm David Dichelle: Honeybear: Arbitrary at best.
	🚂 12:48pm Carmichael: Oh hey, what's the artsy wood carving, David?
	12:49pm David Dichelle: Dividing the world neatly into countries is in fact a qualm I have about the series, but it is a good way of covering a lot of territory/ies as it were.
	12:50pm David Dichelle: Carmichael: It is called "Balance?!" by Christian Schmidt, 2018.
	12:50pm Honeybear: Is that around Leipzig somewhere?
	12:51pm Irene: Loving the show as I drive, so not much commenting
	12:51pm David Dichelle: It is between Leipzig and Zeitz along the Elster-Radwanderweg bike path.
	12:52pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Irene - stay safe out there!
	12:54pm Honeybear: @david - cool, I'll keep a look out for it
	12:55pm David Dichelle: Honeybear: Do you pass that way often?
	12:55pm David Dichelle: (Do I know you by another name?)
	🚂 12:55pm Carmichael: Celtic hoomei!
	🚂 12:56pm Handy Haversack: This is great.
	🚂 12:56pm YETI BOB: @HH: I need to re-read "War With The Newts", Čapek was such a visionary/genius. I'd love to get my hands on this edition: upload.wikimedia.org... On a related note, I'm sure you've read "We" by Yevgeny Zamayatin, right?
	🚂 12:57pm YETI BOB: (that's from 1955 and just so pulp-fiction-trash looking!)
	🚂 12:58pm Michael 98145: into the up and out
	12:59pm Will in Raleigh: is this breton?
	12:59pm David Dichelle: Hey there Michael!
	12:59pm David Dichelle: Hey Will, yes it is.
	1:00pm Will in Raleigh: i thought so. always sounds like welsh spoken with a french accent
	1:00pm David Dichelle: Yes, Breton and Welsh are very closely related.
	🚂 1:00pm YETI BOB: This is reminding me of "Tuva-Irish live music project" by Sainkho Namtchylak and Roy Carroll ... haven't thought about that in a while. Is throat-singing traditional in Breton music or is this a cross-cultural influence?
	🚂 1:01pm Brian in UK: I think it was Alan Stivell many years ago from the French North-West I remember hearing.
	🚂 1:02pm Handy Haversack: Ooo, yeah, YB. I think this is the edition I have: external-content.duckduckgo.com... I don't think I ever have read /We/!
	1:02pm David (in London): Brian, I was just about to mention Alan Stivell. Always been a big fan of his.
	🚂 1:04pm YETI BOB: @HH: That's the classic "psychological" cover, using some Max Ernst or other surrealistic artwork to suggest "modern" and "brainy".
	1:04pm Will in Raleigh: @yeti i'd say it's a cross-cultural influence in the case of this track, has a pretty fusiony feel in general. Though Irish & scottish mouth music/Puirt à beul does have some similarities with throat singing & i wouldn't be surprised if there's a similar tradition in brittany
	🚂 1:05pm Handy Haversack: This Amsterdam sounds like a party town, as Clay would say.
	1:05pm Honeybear: Would love to hear this band whilst wandering the canals...
	🚂 1:06pm YETI BOB: Since the topic of book covers came up I can't resist posting this, totally brilliant artwork by Todd Alcott lithub.com...
	1:06pm Honeybear: Would love to be able to get to wander any part of Amsterdam again, period. Some day ...
	1:07pm Sem: Angels chanting, my, my, my.
	🚂 1:08pm YETI BOB: @Will: Thanks!
	🚂 1:09pm Brian in UK: Are Klezmer bands the musical equivalent of Irish pubs?
	🚂 1:10pm Michael 98145: @YETI BOB, that is wonderful! ( We probably have some of those books :)
	1:10pm David Dichelle: Yes, I think that is a cross-cultural influence there, quite a few Breton groups like to mix traditional Breton sounds and other traditions.
	🚂 1:11pm YETI BOB: @Michael: I appreciate the attention to the small details, like "Zimmerman Books", etc.
	🚂 1:12pm Handy Haversack: Holy crap, Yeti Bob. Amazing.
	1:13pm David Dichelle: Brian, traditionally they are wedding bands but I love the idea of klezmer pubs!
	1:13pm StringOFperils: I forgot about Mari Boine. I saw her around the time of this recording. Music of the Sami people.
	🚂 1:15pm YETI BOB: If you like those, there are more Todd Alcott book covers (way too many, actually) here: www.instagram.com... - I really love the Moonage Daydream and Bizarre Love Triangle covers.
	1:16pm David Dichelle: String, saw her later that decade, it was an excellent show.
	1:17pm StringOFperils: Yes, David, agreed. I quite enjoyed it. And it introduced me to that indigenous group too.
	1:19pm David (in London): Y.B. - Those covers are absolutely great. Lovely pieces of retro design humour.
	🚂 1:19pm YETI BOB: Thanks for the Mari Boine , hadn't heard her before, that was amazing!
	🚂 1:22pm Handy Haversack: YB, I sent that LitHub URL to our Editorial, Design, and Production Dept. The designers are desperately trying to get all the covers done for the seasonal catalogue. They really appreciated it. So you've done a mitzvah for some beleaguered culture-industry workers.
	🚂 1:24pm YETI BOB: @HH: I'm so glad that you liked it and shared it with other people who appreciate this sort of thing!
	1:25pm David Dichelle: My pleasure, Yeti Bob!
	🚂 1:26pm βrian: Book covers? search.library.wisc.edu...
	1:53pm fred: Sorry I'm late, work stuff pile on late today
	1:54pm David Dichelle: Hey Fred, great to see you!
	1:56pm fred: @Yeti Bob: Does he specialize in book titles lifted from tracks I listened to many many years ago?
	🚂 1:59pm YETI BOB: @fred: I think these are tracks we all listened to many years ago! Well - it's weekly meeting time for me - I have to drop off - it's been fun - see y'all next time!
	2:01pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Yeti Bob, have a good meeting and evening...
	2:01pm fred: Damn, I missed the Roud. Those responsible for that should meet the fate of most Roud protagonists. Even more so if it was one or the rare ones that ends well
	2:06pm fred: The gram link looked fun, but it quickly asked me for a facebook login. Oh well, as I might tell to Mark Hurst, the reason I'm not willing to delete my facebook account is that I'd have to create one first
	2:10pm Stanley: Andorra. I've never been there but sounds like a strange place.
	🚂 2:10pm Michael 98145: I believe we actually -have- driven thru Andorra -- it was raining
	2:10pm Stanley: Food's probably good, though.
	2:11pm David Dichelle: I have been there, beautiful mountains, tobacco growing everywhere, very commercial main town of Andorra la Vella with all its duty-frees and the like.
	🚂 2:11pm Michael 98145: 468 square kilometres (181 sq mi)
	🚂 2:12pm Handy Haversack: Good call, fred. As for the ending of the song ... I think a case can be made that it all came off OK in this one!
	2:14pm fred: All I know about Andorra is that it's where southern French people go to buy cheap cigarettes (northern ones go to Luxemburg or Belgium)
	2:14pm David Dichelle: People here go to Poland or Czechia, I suppose everyone has to get around that cig tax.
	2:18pm fred: Also I think the French president is a prince of Andorra. Soon to be know as a Kushner of Andorra
	🚂 2:20pm Michael 98145: Well, okay!
	2:20pm David Dichelle: Indeed, co-prince along with the Bishop of Urgell. I wonder if they meet often for tea.
	🚂 2:21pm Yvang: Hi David and everyone. I am glad the Random Road segment outlives the Hellraiser Fundraiser! Andorra could be the french Delaware, except for the chemicals and Joe Biden.
	2:21pm David Dichelle: Hey Yvang - yes, it has been extended for another 228 segments! Andorra was a bit of a challenge, of course.
	2:25pm fred: @Yvang: It's not officially a French territory, though it looks that way it doesn't want to be. The French Boris maybe?
	🚂 2:27pm Yvang: @Fred : Andorrexit !
	🚂 2:28pm Yvang: I can't wait for the random Liechtenstein set some day!
	🚂 2:28pm Carmichael: Or San Marino!
	2:28pm David Dichelle: Yvang: Could be next week - I won't know for another 35 minutes myself.
	🚂 2:30pm Handy Haversack: David and train friends, I'm afraid we have to go on a supply run -- we're out of both Royal Lochnagar and cheese! Thanks for another fantastic afternoon, David. Much appreciated. Catch some of you later on the Failure Lounge.
	2:30pm Honeybear: hear Andorra roar!
	2:31pm Funky16Corners: Hi David!
	2:31pm Honeybear: failure - it's our ultimate destination
	2:32pm David Dichelle: Cheers, Handy!
	2:32pm David Dichelle: And hello there, Larry!
	2:33pm Funky16Corners: I like this piece. You always add something new to my modern classical list!
	2:35pm David Dichelle: Glad you like it, Larry, as far as I know it is the only symphony ever commissioned by the government of Andorra.
	🚂 2:36pm Michael 98145: San Marino was famous for postage stamps
	🚂 2:37pm Michael 98145: that -was- good
	🚂 2:40pm Bas NL: Hi David! All! Ahhh.. I'm too early for the archives.. :)
	2:43pm David Dichelle: Hey there Bas!
	2:48pm fred: @Bas NL: Looking up I saw a package box saying that "Bas" is French for "Low". Isn't that appropriate for someone from the Netherlands?
	🚂 2:51pm Bas NL: Yes, Bas from Les Pays-Bas! I got my own country.. then again, to many people claim that nowadays.
	2:52pm Stanley: The Lowlands of Holland is a lovely Scottish song
	2:53pm Sem: My stop. This Andorra set has been a beautiful thing. See you, David, and all, next time for more Continental Subway.
	🚂 2:53pm Michael 98145: Whoa. Thanks!
	2:53pm Stanley: (crowd bursts out in applause)
	2:53pm spodiodi: thanks, David! nice ride :)
	2:53pm David in London: Thanks David, great show today.
	🚂 2:54pm Brian in UK: Top sounds, David.
	🚂 2:54pm Yvang: Thanks, David!
	🚂 2:54pm chresti: Thanks David! Hi spodi!
	🚂 2:55pm Bas NL: Thanks for the archives already, David! Playlist reads like a train to hop on.
	2:55pm fred: I guess this the only subway I'll be hearing for a while. Luck has it it's the best
	2:55pm Stanley: Another fine piece of entertainment, David. Thanks again
	2:56pm StringOFperils: Oh my, is it really the last station on the line already? I must have fallen asleep (in 1987). Oh well, life awaits. Thanks, David. You're the bestesestest conductor ever.
	2:57pm Really Lisa: Thank you, David. Lovely show. Peace, all.
	2:59pm David Dichelle: Thanks everyone!
