	♥ 6:35am radioronan: Good morning Brian & all..
	⚡ ♥ 6:37am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	♥ 6:37am Brian D: Good day Ronan, Fred.
	6:38am Fred and Alan: ↳ Brian D @6:30 Brian D you started following Fred and Alan on Instagram WE were invited on WFMU for a 5 minute interview live in the studio instead it lasted 3 Hours as WFMU listeners from all over the World loved Fred and Alan WE also did a show with Pseu and Ken
	♥ 6:39am Brian D: ↳ Fred and Alan @6:38 Yes! I know who you guys are. Glad to follow you and have you on the board.
	6:43am Fred and Alan: ↳ Brian D @6:39 Thank you so much you know everything about us if not will tell you on instagram
	⚡ ♥ 6:49am fred: ↳ Fred and Alan @6:43 Did you ever think of doing a shift on Radio Row? Maybe you need someone to interact with, but with how you became fixtures on the station, maybe that could be a way to explore getting a regular show
	⚡ ♥ 6:52am dale: ↳ Song: "Apotheosis" by "Miguel Atwood-Ferguson" good morning. i like this music, sounds like it's from a disney show on undersea shrimp hijinx.
	6:53am Fred and Alan: ↳ fred @6:49 Ken wanted us for a regular show but we were unable to get there as its far and Pseu moved to Pennsylvania Thanks so much we have so many listeners that chat every morning on our email with them. They love Fred and Alan and we love them
	♥ 6:53am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:49 Great idea, Fred.
	♥ 6:54am Brian D: ↳ dale @6:52 Prolific and eclectic collaborator and producer.
	6:58am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:30 Hello, Brian.
	♥ 6:59am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Empasse" by "Off World" I see a second selection from the Constellation Records crew. Edgy bands there, some with rebel attitudes, like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, etc.
	♥ 7:00am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:59 Indeed. Great label.
	⚡ ♥ 7:02am fred: ↳ TDK60 @6:59 One thing that cracks me up is that Constellation regularly has a full-page ad in n+1, which doesn't have many
	♥ 7:03am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:02 Same core "demo" though (note use of marketing jargon).
	⚡ 7:04am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian and all! I've been listening but had the laptop in the bag while doing some cleaning, and couldn't figure out how to log into chat on the Woof Mu app. No spring in the air here, been below freezing almost a week and not prediction to go above in the next two weeks. But I found out that the brick oven heats incredibly well with wood
	⚡ 7:04am Don in Tampere: The vtuner stream went missing for a couple of minutes but seems to be back
	♥ 7:06am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:04 Hello Don! Hope you're well, despite the chill. Thanks for the note on the stream.
	♥ 7:06am TDK60: I got to see Blonde Redhead last year with some WFMU pals. Great show. It was in the Le Poisson Rouge basement club. (I remarked to my friends that it used to be the old Village Gate club and that 56 years earlier I'd been in the same room to see The Byrds perform during their stunning 'Fifth Dimension" period. The Village Gate marquee is still up on the corner of the building.)
	♥ 7:08am StringOFperils: Good morning Brian and all,....from here
	⚡ ♥ 7:09am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:03 A friend who knows them well wasn't surprised. From what he says many of them are part of that "demo" too. Which is probably why they remain good, they release and do stuff they love
	♥ 7:09am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:06 Yes, TDK. I live two blocks away and remember its former incarnation(s).
	⚡ 7:10am Don in Tampere: ↳ Brian D @7:06 I'm just waiting for it to get to -7 C or so, because then the air is dry and it feels less cold than when it's around freezing. But it's all ok here, I wouldn't have decided to stay here if I didn't like winter. And the house is nice and warm - the sauna even more so! Doing well here, and just about exactly a month until I retire.
	♥ 7:12am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:09 Exactly.
	♥ 7:12am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:10 You make it sound lovely -- and I'm sure it is.
	♥ 7:13am TDK60: ↳ Brian D @7:09 Ah Brian, ya live in the Village. I was in the CVS pharmacy there the other day and told the employee about the Gate. The Gate had two levels, the basement (LPR) and an upper street level bar/dinner area (now CVS) for softer jazz. I saw Bill Evans there once.
	⚡ ♥ 7:13am fred: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:10 Are you planning a retirement party? A live performance of Banjo Machine Music could be a nice exit statement
	♥ 7:15am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:13 Wow! That must have been something. I used to live right at that the corner.
	♥ 7:15am TDK60: ↳ fred @7:02 Bonjour Fred. I missed your comment. I don't think I've ever seen n+1 mag.
	♥ 7:19am TDK60: One thing that irks me about LPR is they don't bother to put any posters or mention of upcoming shows on their small marquee out by the front door. It just says to go to their social media points to see. That's not groovy.
	⚡ ♥ 7:19am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Nightmare" by "Night Beats" This piece has a nice Isley Brothers vibe. Good morning Brian and everyone.
	⚡ ♥ 7:22am fred: ↳ TDK60 @7:15 Their site can give you an idea: www.nplusonemag.com Though articles there trend more topical (hard to go that way in print when publishing thrice a year)
	⚡ 7:25am Don in Tampere: ↳ fred @7:13 I'm organizing a retirement gig at my local club, Vastavirta. No Banjo MAchine Music, but I'll play with Dark Bottle, and in addition some of my favorites are playing: Jonathan Segel, Pekko Käppi & KHHL, and Slack Bird Big Band, on 16.12
	♥ 7:26am TDK60: ↳ fred @7:22 Fred, merci.
	♥ 7:27am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:19 Good morning, Peter.
	7:29am rich in angleton: good morning Brian and everyone in radioland!
	♥ 7:29am StringOFperils: Just started reading 'In A Lonely Place' a while back (before temporarily packing up all the books and moving them out of where the new flooring had to go). Probably won't be an uplifting read, but creative originality is always appreciated, no matter the era.
	♥ 7:29am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:29 Rich! Up late and up early.
	7:30am Buddha of Suburbia: I know this song. My friend in high school made a mixed tape with this song on it. I played it over and over agin until the tape raveled. Great tune.
	♥ 7:30am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @7:29 The movie is pretty dark. May be Bogart's best.
	♥ 7:31am PKNY: ↳ Song: "In A Lonely Place" by "Smithereens" I wasn't familiar with this track til now, thanks for playing. Had to hit the Googles, it's Suzanne Vega on vocals with Pat. They initially wanted Astrud Gilberto!
	7:31am Robm: morning fellow current listeners hi buddha, glad to see you here on a friday
	♥ 7:32am Brian D: ↳ PKNY @7:31 Didn't know that about Astrud!
	⚡ ♥ 7:33am fred: Speaking of books, I'm reading Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris. Real good dive into the origin story of Silicon Valley, going way back. Not cheerful, but enlightening
	♥ 7:34am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:33 You know, I haven't done a "What are you reading?" in ages. I'm toward the end of James Ellroy's latest, "The Enchanters."
	7:35am Buddha of Suburbia: Robm, it’s Saturday! Good to see ya too. There hasn’t been one song I haven’t liked. Here, pull up a chair.
	♥ 7:35am Brian D: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:35 Glad you're enjoying Buddha.
	⚡ ♥ 7:36am dale: boo donaldson and the heywoods! hey now...
	7:36am Robm: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:35 eating my breakfast while listening to this wonderful program by brian hey dale
	⚡ ♥ 7:39am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:34 I don't read much these days (blame bus shortages and the coming olympics). I literally have a tiny stack of bills set aside to buy books, but what's the point when I have no time to read and spend my reading time squeezed in overcrowded bus/trains?
	♥ 7:39am vanya haifa: Hi Brian, Fred, everyone!
	7:40am Buddha of Suburbia: Call off the Coast Guard!! Dale is here as I live and breathe. Very have ya been?’ Robm, sounds like a perfect start to your day!
	⚡ 7:40am Don in Tampere: ↳ Brian D @7:34 Currently almost finished with "Ein Kampf um Rom" by Felix Dahn, because I was travelling , out of new e-books and it was automatically downloaded from Gutenberg Project. Kind of silly, but at least there is some history about the last years of the goths in Italy. But anxious to finish and start on either Navid Kermani's new novel or Naomi Klein's "Doppelgänger"
	⚡ ♥ 7:40am fred: ↳ vanya haifa @7:39 Hey Vanya! I hope you're doing well
	⚡ ♥ 7:41am dale: herro dere robm.
	7:42am Robm: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:40 buddha i try to listen to this show and moonlight sonata every weekend and if i miss it listen to the archives
	⚡ ♥ 7:42am dale: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:40 around boods. just around.
	♥ 7:42am TDK60: Morning, Buddha. I am reading two books: 'Bullshit Jobs' by David Graeber (free book from a street box); and 'The City in History' by Lewis Mumford, a public library book. I dare to fit the massive thing on my subway rides.
	⚡ ♥ 7:43am fred: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:40 I need to order Crook Manifesto. I really do. But that takes time I don't have rn. (obviously, amazon is not an option)
	⚡ 7:43am Don in Tampere: Back to cleaning in a few minutes, so I'll be listening but not chatting. Great show!
	7:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz~
	7:46am Robm: one thing i like about the accu board is that i have a never ending pile of books to read
	♥ 7:46am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:43 Cleanliness is next to... oh, never mind.
	♥ 7:47am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:43 I read books in quiet places -- publications on the subway/PATH.
	7:47am Juli: Good morning beauties
	7:49am Robm: good morning juli how is the job and your new apartment going?
	⚡ ♥ 7:49am fred: ↳ Juli @7:47 Good morning Juli! Are you done with that ear infection?
	7:50am Buddha of Suburbia: Brian D, thank you for putting so much thought in your playlist! Morning TDK60! Morning Dilly Dale!
	7:53am Juli: ↳ fred @7:49 Almost done w me Not quite 😞
	♥ 7:54am Brian D: ↳ Juli @7:53 Man, I'm prone to those. They stink!
	⚡ ♥ 7:54am fred: ↳ Juli @7:53 I hope the pain is gone at least
	♥ 8:02am JohnEBGood: GM B and WFMU family. I'm sure your wife feels better. Peace : )
	♥ 8:04am Brian D: ↳ JohnEBGood @8:02 She does, John, thanks. Paxlovid, man.
	8:09am Juli: Agreed, Brian, Ow lol Pain is mostly gone TG J slight w headache
	⚡ ♥ 8:13am fred: ↳ Juli @8:09 I guess working with kids is a way to reawaken your immune system the hard way. You'll be hardened later and laugh through the next pandemic
	8:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Down The Road" by "Tremosphere" Isn't this kewl ? Describe it as early REM if they were on 4AD...
	8:20am DalesWife: Really loving the show. Perfect "easing into Saturday " music.
	8:21am rich in angleton: hey Brian re books - i'm rereading Abraham Rodriguez Jr's 'the boy without a flag'. and like so much in my life I first learned of Abe from WFMU playing the urgent fury demos in the 1980s. pat duncan you are missed!
	♥ 8:22am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @8:21 If you're rereading, I assume it's good!
	♥ 8:23am Brian D: ↳ DalesWife @8:20 Thanks, DalesWife. Glad you're enjoying.
	8:25am rich in angleton: yes brian, its an incredible book. almost like a companion piece to a solo acoustic cassette he released back then called 'requiem for miss america'.
	⚡ ♥ 8:25am fred: ↳ Song: "Evoker 1 (Hellslime Radiating From The Basement)"... As Jah Wobble involved?
	⚡ ♥ 8:26am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Ten Forward" by "Mendoza, Hoff, Revels" Brian, did you play something from this rekkid a couple weeks ago? I think it was either you or Carol Crow. Anyway I liked it so much I bought it.
	⚡ ♥ 8:28am fred: ↳ Song: "Touched You With My Chaos" by "Cherry Glazerr" This reminds my of Vartey Ganiva: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 8:28am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:25 Don't believe so... But the bass on that is pretty great.
	♥ 8:28am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:26 I did! Last week, actually.
	♥ 8:32am Sera from Rockaway: Reading the obit now. Thanks for bringing her work to light
	♥ 8:32am TDK60: Oh, speaking of nazis, did you hear about the ex-45th-prez? At a recent campaign rally he threatened leftist "vermin.” After much criticism for the remark, their campaign manager said that those who called him fascist for making the remark will be “crushed” if ex-45th-prez gets back into the White House! It's almost funny. You called us fascists, so we will crush you. [Sic.] It’s not every day that I get to laugh about threats to exterminate me.
	♥ 8:33am Brian D: ↳ Sera from Rockaway @8:32 She was sometimes controversial, but her heart was in the right place.
	♥ 8:34am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @8:32 Yes, the "vermin" remark was certainly, uh, striking. I've been called worse.
	⚡ ♥ 8:35am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @8:28 LOL, I might have to stop listening to Woof Moo... I could go broke from rushing to buy an album! (No I'm not gonna stop listening, don't worry.)
	8:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don't think Drumpf will be Elected again - but then, our Electoral System is so AntiDemocratic & whack ...Drumpf wouldn't even exist in an actually Healthy System - certainly not as an ExPOTUS, as I see it. But what has he got to lose, is the thing. & the effect he'll have on his Movement & stirring up these millions in our midst is the concern...
	♥ 8:37am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:35 Tell me about it... I live in a small apartment, too.
	8:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Full of Fears" by "Beautiful Days" Do you have the year on this track ??
	♥ 8:42am Brian D: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:39 Not originally, no, but all the tracks on this comp were released between 64-74.
	8:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian D @8:42 Thx
	♥ 8:43am Brian D: THIS JUST IN: Tickets for today's record and CD sale in Monty Hall (11 am to 5 pm) are $5.
	⚡ ♥ 8:43am dale: ↳ Brian D @8:34 rou cohn's protege - what can one expect?
	⚡ ♥ 8:44am dale: ↳ dale @8:43 roy....ROY.
	♥ 8:45am Brian D: ↳ dale @8:44 He's been called worse, too.
	♥ 8:45am TDK60: ↳ Song: "New Speedway Boogie" by "Sloppy Heads" A Grateful Dead cover.
	8:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dale @8:44 That's some good data, actually : en.wikipedia.org... ...as one thinks of Drumpf as just this Real Estate Fraud legacy chump who stumbled into being a Folk Hero via Unreality TV - what have you. An opportunistic moron. Like - where did this come from...
	♥ 8:48am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "New Speedway Boogie" by "Sloppy Heads" Vague recognition seeped through...guess I'm not a Deadhead, but it's in there somewhere
	8:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "New Speedway Boogie" by "Sloppy Heads" Real early Dead song. Great interpretation - like it recognizes the tune & the Psych ethic to an extent - but quite a different texture, as it were...
	⚡ ♥ 8:52am dale: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:46 one of the most vile - and interesting - characters in the 20th century.
	♥ 8:52am TDK60: ↳ StringOFperils @8:48 Good mornin' StringOFperils. I'm not a Deadhead either, nor anti-Dead. I'm somewhere in the middle; I like some of their stuff. Please don't erase us from history, the not-of-strong-opinion-either-way. Hee. Mornin' Revrab. It's from their 1970 'Workingman's Dead' album. Pretty good slab.
	8:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @8:52 Yeah I call this whole era the Get Back to Earth period - after Psychedelia & people were attempting Reentry. 'Let It Be', the Dead, the Band, CCR, the Stones getting rootsy & straightforward...
	♥ 8:56am Brian D: Alright folks, that's almost it for me. Thank you for listening and commenting. Stay safe and have a great week -- and a great Thanksgiving if you observe.
	♥ 8:57am TDK60: Gracias, DJ Brian. I hope your wife is recovered.
	⚡ ♥ 8:57am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @8:56 Thanks, Brian.
	8:57am rich in angleton: that flew by brian! great show!!
	♥ 8:57am StringOFperils: ↳ TDK60 @8:52 Same here, tdk. I like the Dead, I just never hung on every bit of hype about them. Still have my original Live in Europe '72....from '72! It was my gradual inroad to country music, which I detested back then. I probably bought it for Kelly's artwork on the cover. Where I acquired the money for it is the biggest mystery of all.
	8:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @8:52 Yeah, I maintain one needs a knowledgable Guide to the mass of Dead recordings & culture. Sometime to cherrypick the better stuff...
	8:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ BrianD ~
	8:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:58 *someOne
	♥ 9:00am StringOFperils: Thank you for all your work, Brian!

	♥ 6:53am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:49 Great idea, Fred.
	♥ 6:54am Brian D: ↳ dale @6:52 Prolific and eclectic collaborator and producer.
	6:58am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:30 Hello, Brian.
	♥ 6:59am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Empasse" by "Off World" I see a second selection from the Constellation Records crew. Edgy bands there, some with rebel attitudes, like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, etc.
	♥ 7:00am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:59 Indeed. Great label.
	⚡ ♥ 7:02am fred: ↳ TDK60 @6:59 One thing that cracks me up is that Constellation regularly has a full-page ad in n+1, which doesn't have many
	♥ 7:03am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:02 Same core "demo" though (note use of marketing jargon).
	⚡ 7:04am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian and all! I've been listening but had the laptop in the bag while doing some cleaning, and couldn't figure out how to log into chat on the Woof Mu app. No spring in the air here, been below freezing almost a week and not prediction to go above in the next two weeks. But I found out that the brick oven heats incredibly well with wood
	⚡ 7:04am Don in Tampere: The vtuner stream went missing for a couple of minutes but seems to be back
	♥ 7:06am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:04 Hello Don! Hope you're well, despite the chill. Thanks for the note on the stream.
	♥ 7:06am TDK60: I got to see Blonde Redhead last year with some WFMU pals. Great show. It was in the Le Poisson Rouge basement club. (I remarked to my friends that it used to be the old Village Gate club and that 56 years earlier I'd been in the same room to see The Byrds perform during their stunning 'Fifth Dimension" period. The Village Gate marquee is still up on the corner of the building.)
	♥ 7:08am StringOFperils: Good morning Brian and all,....from here
	⚡ ♥ 7:09am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:03 A friend who knows them well wasn't surprised. From what he says many of them are part of that "demo" too. Which is probably why they remain good, they release and do stuff they love
	♥ 7:09am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:06 Yes, TDK. I live two blocks away and remember its former incarnation(s).
	⚡ 7:10am Don in Tampere: ↳ Brian D @7:06 I'm just waiting for it to get to -7 C or so, because then the air is dry and it feels less cold than when it's around freezing. But it's all ok here, I wouldn't have decided to stay here if I didn't like winter. And the house is nice and warm - the sauna even more so! Doing well here, and just about exactly a month until I retire.
	♥ 7:12am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:09 Exactly.
	♥ 7:12am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:10 You make it sound lovely -- and I'm sure it is.
	♥ 7:13am TDK60: ↳ Brian D @7:09 Ah Brian, ya live in the Village. I was in the CVS pharmacy there the other day and told the employee about the Gate. The Gate had two levels, the basement (LPR) and an upper street level bar/dinner area (now CVS) for softer jazz. I saw Bill Evans there once.
	⚡ ♥ 7:13am fred: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:10 Are you planning a retirement party? A live performance of Banjo Machine Music could be a nice exit statement
	♥ 7:15am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:13 Wow! That must have been something. I used to live right at that the corner.
	♥ 7:15am TDK60: ↳ fred @7:02 Bonjour Fred. I missed your comment. I don't think I've ever seen n+1 mag.
	♥ 7:19am TDK60: One thing that irks me about LPR is they don't bother to put any posters or mention of upcoming shows on their small marquee out by the front door. It just says to go to their social media points to see. That's not groovy.
	⚡ ♥ 7:19am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Nightmare" by "Night Beats" This piece has a nice Isley Brothers vibe. Good morning Brian and everyone.
	⚡ ♥ 7:22am fred: ↳ TDK60 @7:15 Their site can give you an idea: www.nplusonemag.com Though articles there trend more topical (hard to go that way in print when publishing thrice a year)
	⚡ 7:25am Don in Tampere: ↳ fred @7:13 I'm organizing a retirement gig at my local club, Vastavirta. No Banjo MAchine Music, but I'll play with Dark Bottle, and in addition some of my favorites are playing: Jonathan Segel, Pekko Käppi & KHHL, and Slack Bird Big Band, on 16.12
	♥ 7:26am TDK60: ↳ fred @7:22 Fred, merci.
	♥ 7:27am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:19 Good morning, Peter.
	7:29am rich in angleton: good morning Brian and everyone in radioland!
	♥ 7:29am StringOFperils: Just started reading 'In A Lonely Place' a while back (before temporarily packing up all the books and moving them out of where the new flooring had to go). Probably won't be an uplifting read, but creative originality is always appreciated, no matter the era.
	♥ 7:29am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:29 Rich! Up late and up early.
	7:30am Buddha of Suburbia: I know this song. My friend in high school made a mixed tape with this song on it. I played it over and over agin until the tape raveled. Great tune.
	♥ 7:30am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @7:29 The movie is pretty dark. May be Bogart's best.
	♥ 7:31am PKNY: ↳ Song: "In A Lonely Place" by "Smithereens" I wasn't familiar with this track til now, thanks for playing. Had to hit the Googles, it's Suzanne Vega on vocals with Pat. They initially wanted Astrud Gilberto!
	7:31am Robm: morning fellow current listeners hi buddha, glad to see you here on a friday
	♥ 7:32am Brian D: ↳ PKNY @7:31 Didn't know that about Astrud!
	⚡ ♥ 7:33am fred: Speaking of books, I'm reading Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris. Real good dive into the origin story of Silicon Valley, going way back. Not cheerful, but enlightening
	♥ 7:34am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:33 You know, I haven't done a "What are you reading?" in ages. I'm toward the end of James Ellroy's latest, "The Enchanters."
	7:35am Buddha of Suburbia: Robm, it’s Saturday! Good to see ya too. There hasn’t been one song I haven’t liked. Here, pull up a chair.
	♥ 7:35am Brian D: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:35 Glad you're enjoying Buddha.
	⚡ ♥ 7:36am dale: boo donaldson and the heywoods! hey now...
	7:36am Robm: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:35 eating my breakfast while listening to this wonderful program by brian hey dale
	⚡ ♥ 7:39am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:34 I don't read much these days (blame bus shortages and the coming olympics). I literally have a tiny stack of bills set aside to buy books, but what's the point when I have no time to read and spend my reading time squeezed in overcrowded bus/trains?
	♥ 7:39am vanya haifa: Hi Brian, Fred, everyone!
	7:40am Buddha of Suburbia: Call off the Coast Guard!! Dale is here as I live and breathe. Very have ya been?’ Robm, sounds like a perfect start to your day!
	⚡ 7:40am Don in Tampere: ↳ Brian D @7:34 Currently almost finished with "Ein Kampf um Rom" by Felix Dahn, because I was travelling , out of new e-books and it was automatically downloaded from Gutenberg Project. Kind of silly, but at least there is some history about the last years of the goths in Italy. But anxious to finish and start on either Navid Kermani's new novel or Naomi Klein's "Doppelgänger"
	⚡ ♥ 7:40am fred: ↳ vanya haifa @7:39 Hey Vanya! I hope you're doing well
	⚡ ♥ 7:41am dale: herro dere robm.
	7:42am Robm: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:40 buddha i try to listen to this show and moonlight sonata every weekend and if i miss it listen to the archives
	⚡ ♥ 7:42am dale: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:40 around boods. just around.
	♥ 7:42am TDK60: Morning, Buddha. I am reading two books: 'Bullshit Jobs' by David Graeber (free book from a street box); and 'The City in History' by Lewis Mumford, a public library book. I dare to fit the massive thing on my subway rides.
	⚡ ♥ 7:43am fred: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:40 I need to order Crook Manifesto. I really do. But that takes time I don't have rn. (obviously, amazon is not an option)
	⚡ 7:43am Don in Tampere: Back to cleaning in a few minutes, so I'll be listening but not chatting. Great show!
	7:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♄Saturday FMUvianz~
	7:46am Robm: one thing i like about the accu board is that i have a never ending pile of books to read
	♥ 7:46am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:43 Cleanliness is next to... oh, never mind.
	♥ 7:47am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:43 I read books in quiet places -- publications on the subway/PATH.
	7:47am Juli: Good morning beauties
	7:49am Robm: good morning juli how is the job and your new apartment going?
	⚡ ♥ 7:49am fred: ↳ Juli @7:47 Good morning Juli! Are you done with that ear infection?
	7:50am Buddha of Suburbia: Brian D, thank you for putting so much thought in your playlist! Morning TDK60! Morning Dilly Dale!
	7:53am Juli: ↳ fred @7:49 Almost done w me Not quite 😞
	♥ 7:54am Brian D: ↳ Juli @7:53 Man, I'm prone to those. They stink!
	⚡ ♥ 7:54am fred: ↳ Juli @7:53 I hope the pain is gone at least
	♥ 8:02am JohnEBGood: GM B and WFMU family. I'm sure your wife feels better. Peace : )
	♥ 8:04am Brian D: ↳ JohnEBGood @8:02 She does, John, thanks. Paxlovid, man.
	8:09am Juli: Agreed, Brian, Ow lol Pain is mostly gone TG J slight w headache
	⚡ ♥ 8:13am fred: ↳ Juli @8:09 I guess working with kids is a way to reawaken your immune system the hard way. You'll be hardened later and laugh through the next pandemic
	8:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Down The Road" by "Tremosphere" Isn't this kewl ? Describe it as early REM if they were on 4AD...
	8:20am DalesWife: Really loving the show. Perfect "easing into Saturday " music.
	8:21am rich in angleton: hey Brian re books - i'm rereading Abraham Rodriguez Jr's 'the boy without a flag'. and like so much in my life I first learned of Abe from WFMU playing the urgent fury demos in the 1980s. pat duncan you are missed!
	♥ 8:22am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @8:21 If you're rereading, I assume it's good!
	♥ 8:23am Brian D: ↳ DalesWife @8:20 Thanks, DalesWife. Glad you're enjoying.
	8:25am rich in angleton: yes brian, its an incredible book. almost like a companion piece to a solo acoustic cassette he released back then called 'requiem for miss america'.
	⚡ ♥ 8:25am fred: ↳ Song: "Evoker 1 (Hellslime Radiating From The Basement)"... As Jah Wobble involved?
	⚡ ♥ 8:26am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Song: "Ten Forward" by "Mendoza, Hoff, Revels" Brian, did you play something from this rekkid a couple weeks ago? I think it was either you or Carol Crow. Anyway I liked it so much I bought it.
	⚡ ♥ 8:28am fred: ↳ Song: "Touched You With My Chaos" by "Cherry Glazerr" This reminds my of Vartey Ganiva: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 8:28am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:25 Don't believe so... But the bass on that is pretty great.
	♥ 8:28am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:26 I did! Last week, actually.
	♥ 8:32am Sera from Rockaway: Reading the obit now. Thanks for bringing her work to light
	♥ 8:32am TDK60: Oh, speaking of nazis, did you hear about the ex-45th-prez? At a recent campaign rally he threatened leftist "vermin.” After much criticism for the remark, their campaign manager said that those who called him fascist for making the remark will be “crushed” if ex-45th-prez gets back into the White House! It's almost funny. You called us fascists, so we will crush you. [Sic.] It’s not every day that I get to laugh about threats to exterminate me.
	♥ 8:33am Brian D: ↳ Sera from Rockaway @8:32 She was sometimes controversial, but her heart was in the right place.
	♥ 8:34am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @8:32 Yes, the "vermin" remark was certainly, uh, striking. I've been called worse.
	⚡ ♥ 8:35am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @8:28 LOL, I might have to stop listening to Woof Moo... I could go broke from rushing to buy an album! (No I'm not gonna stop listening, don't worry.)
	8:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Don't think Drumpf will be Elected again - but then, our Electoral System is so AntiDemocratic & whack ...Drumpf wouldn't even exist in an actually Healthy System - certainly not as an ExPOTUS, as I see it. But what has he got to lose, is the thing. & the effect he'll have on his Movement & stirring up these millions in our midst is the concern...
	♥ 8:37am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:35 Tell me about it... I live in a small apartment, too.
	8:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Full of Fears" by "Beautiful Days" Do you have the year on this track ??
	♥ 8:42am Brian D: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:39 Not originally, no, but all the tracks on this comp were released between 64-74.
	8:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Brian D @8:42 Thx
	♥ 8:43am Brian D: THIS JUST IN: Tickets for today's record and CD sale in Monty Hall (11 am to 5 pm) are $5.
	⚡ ♥ 8:43am dale: ↳ Brian D @8:34 rou cohn's protege - what can one expect?
	⚡ ♥ 8:44am dale: ↳ dale @8:43 roy....ROY.
	♥ 8:45am Brian D: ↳ dale @8:44 He's been called worse, too.
	♥ 8:45am TDK60: ↳ Song: "New Speedway Boogie" by "Sloppy Heads" A Grateful Dead cover.
	8:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dale @8:44 That's some good data, actually : en.wikipedia.org... ...as one thinks of Drumpf as just this Real Estate Fraud legacy chump who stumbled into being a Folk Hero via Unreality TV - what have you. An opportunistic moron. Like - where did this come from...
	♥ 8:48am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "New Speedway Boogie" by "Sloppy Heads" Vague recognition seeped through...guess I'm not a Deadhead, but it's in there somewhere
	8:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "New Speedway Boogie" by "Sloppy Heads" Real early Dead song. Great interpretation - like it recognizes the tune & the Psych ethic to an extent - but quite a different texture, as it were...
	⚡ ♥ 8:52am dale: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:46 one of the most vile - and interesting - characters in the 20th century.
	♥ 8:52am TDK60: ↳ StringOFperils @8:48 Good mornin' StringOFperils. I'm not a Deadhead either, nor anti-Dead. I'm somewhere in the middle; I like some of their stuff. Please don't erase us from history, the not-of-strong-opinion-either-way. Hee. Mornin' Revrab. It's from their 1970 'Workingman's Dead' album. Pretty good slab.
	8:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @8:52 Yeah I call this whole era the Get Back to Earth period - after Psychedelia & people were attempting Reentry. 'Let It Be', the Dead, the Band, CCR, the Stones getting rootsy & straightforward...
	♥ 8:56am Brian D: Alright folks, that's almost it for me. Thank you for listening and commenting. Stay safe and have a great week -- and a great Thanksgiving if you observe.
	♥ 8:57am TDK60: Gracias, DJ Brian. I hope your wife is recovered.
	⚡ ♥ 8:57am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @8:56 Thanks, Brian.
	8:57am rich in angleton: that flew by brian! great show!!
	♥ 8:57am StringOFperils: ↳ TDK60 @8:52 Same here, tdk. I like the Dead, I just never hung on every bit of hype about them. Still have my original Live in Europe '72....from '72! It was my gradual inroad to country music, which I detested back then. I probably bought it for Kelly's artwork on the cover. Where I acquired the money for it is the biggest mystery of all.
	8:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ TDK60 @8:52 Yeah, I maintain one needs a knowledgable Guide to the mass of Dead recordings & culture. Sometime to cherrypick the better stuff...
	8:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ BrianD ~
	8:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @8:58 *someOne
	♥ 9:00am StringOFperils: Thank you for all your work, Brian!
