	3:38am Foutracbaldisco: Jeff Buckley died at the age of 30, his father Tim at the age of 28! Tragic!
	3:40am coelacanth∅: (@334) well, validation is good! i'll have to come back for the archive. my views are solely based on the lyrics, but including the extra verse that usually gets left off.

	⚡ 3:51am Don in Tampere: Good morning Brian and all listeners and chatters! Tuned in just as the heat wave reports were coming through. High of 15 C/60 F today in Tampere. But the temperatures in central and western Europe have been pretty crazy.
	3:52am Scott67: G'day Don. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	3:56am coelacanth∅: FUDGE the fcc!
	⚡ 3:57am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & devotees. Just recovering from celebrating my three score & ten yesterday.

	4:02am Brian D: Don! Hello Brian. Happy birthday. You don't look a day over two score and five.
	4:02am Brian D: Freedom of the streams, @ Scott.
	⚡ 4:03am Brian in UK: We have a free for all here, candidates all chasing the Prime Ministers job. And it will be finally decided by around 160,000 Conservative & Unionist party members. Wacko democracy.
	4:03am Scott67: Happy Brianday for yesty mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	4:04am Brian D: By the way, for those interested in the Leonard Cohen doc: filmforum.org...
	4:05am Scott67: Brian D, I cracked a can of beer & took a slug on air. So a sip of tea is inoffensive to anyone surely. 🍻😎🤙💨🍵
	4:08am coelacanth∅: Happy birthday Brian (in UK)! ...now i really need to get down to some more crazyass nightmares. Thanks Brian (D)! tchau peeps
	⚡ 4:09am Brian in UK: Scott, thanks. Well done, looks like lots of positive comments. Did that hour go quickly? Guess it was mid morning over your way.
	4:09am Scott67: Sweet ones coel.😎🤙
	⚡ 4:09am Brian in UK: Cheers coel.
	4:11am Brian D: Rest easy, Coel.
	⚡ 4:12am Don in Tampere: Happy birthday Brian in UK! You're still just a few years ahead of me.
	4:14am Scott67: Cheers Brian UK, it flew by mate. It was 8am Sunday Winter morn for me. So I'm feeling a little weary now. It's only 6:15pm though.
	4:16am Brian D: It is amazing how fast the time goes while you're doing these things, Scott. I always joke that I bring too much music, but I'm surprised every week.
	⚡ 4:16am Brian in UK: Don, thanks. How did Kaustinen go?
	⚡ 4:17am Brian in UK: Brian, guess it is a bit like the swan swimming. Cool & graceful on top & paddling like mad below. Well kind of!
	4:18am Brian D: More like an ugly duck in my case, Brian
	4:19am Scott67: Brian.D, I'm lucky mine was prerecorded & Terre.T was filling the Playlist. I was flat out just trying to greet everyone & respond to the well wishers. But there were too many, certainly not what I expected for this down under dagg.
	4:20am Foutracbaldisco: One hour ago, I really loved that Suzanne Nina Simone cover! I didn't know it! More vigorous than the original Leonard Cohen song! Thank you Brian!
	4:21am Brian D: It is a lot to manage, Scott. As I prove every week. The FMU community is strong, though.
	4:22am Brian D: My pleasure, @Fout. Nina did it well.
	⚡ 4:31am Don in Tampere: Brian in UK, thanks; Kaustinen was fun, saw some great music, and my gigs all went well.
	⚡ 4:54am Brian in UK: The justification for Pro Life is beyond comprehension at times.
	4:57am Brian D: Indeed @Brian. Don, you just played some shows?
	⚡ 4:58am Michael of Cologne: The holy dove was moving, too, and now this: swelling forms! Where's the FCC today?? Great show, by the way, Brian.
	5:00am Brian D: Ha! Thank you, Michael.
	⚡ 5:21am Don in Tampere: Sorry, was putting together a new batch of bread dough.Yes, I had three shows as a "pelimanni". It sounds more prestigious than it is; it's unpaid but gets you a ticket for the whole week's festival, and some of the performers can be pretty excruciating. But I got really good responses to all the shows. Two were completely acoustic, no PA, one of political songs (from the Wobblies, Woody Guthrie and me) and one of more straight folkie music, then one show with PA and pedalboard of "psychedelic stoner banjo".
	5:26am kevlicki: Morning Brian and all! Did I wake up in the middle of the planetary climate collapse?
	5:26am Brian D: Bread dough? Are you trying to get a rise out of me, Don? Sorry. The shows sound great. Well attended?
	⚡ 5:27am Michael of Cologne: @Brian in UK: Yes hard to comprehend coz it's crazy political 'logic'. The politicization of Pro-Life, starting in the 1970s, was a wily, albeit stinkingly hypocritical, way to consolidate the conservative status quo and its highest value and freedom: free movement of thingified value. To hell with freedom of movement of human beings.
	5:27am Brian D: Hello Kevlicki. I think you were having a ngihtmare. Or we all are.
	5:30am UncleMarty: Lake Mead has dropped over 143 feet, going from full to only 38% of the total storage capacity. The net water loss is nearly six trillion gallons of water.
	5:31am UncleMarty: Thanks Brian
	5:31am Brian D: Thanks for the clarification, Uncle Marty. Either way, grim.
	⚡ 5:33am Brian in UK: Michael, the world seems to be getting more polarised all the time. If you are not with us you must be against us attitude.
	⚡ 5:37am Don in Tampere: Not huge crowds anywhere. There are about 20 stages ranging in size from small trailers on the backs of tractors to the big "Keskipohjanmaa Areena" tent, so things spread. I was on the smaller end, one in an on-site pub, one in a large-ish cafe, and the one with PA in a proper performance room. Probably never more than 30 people at one time, but the good thing was that they clearly really enjoyed it.
	⚡ 5:38am Brian in UK: Don, made some potato bread the other day. Add around 100 grams of mashed potato to the mix. Raises the loaf & makes great toast.
	⚡ 5:41am Brian in UK: Brian, this BBC programme is an interesting take on news you do not normally here. Guess you might know that already. www.bbc.co.uk...
	5:41am Brian D: That sounds great, Don.
	⚡ 5:42am Don in Tampere: I'm going this time for half and half white flour and whole wheat, raising mostly with sourdough but just a pinch of yeast. And maybe mixing in some dried cranberries and cashews
	5:42am Brian D: That Abe story is odd on so many levels, Brian
	⚡ 5:44am Brian in UK: Don, I do cheat & use a machine, downside is that all loaves are the same shape. That half & half mix is good. I find strong Canadian white flour does the job.
	5:47am Robm: @BIUK I listen to the bbc a lot refuse to watch cable news with beating a dead horse
	⚡ 5:48am Brian in UK: Lloyd Cole sends out handwritten lyrics of his songs for a sum of money? Interesting direction. loydcole.myshopify.com...
	5:49am Brian D: Huh. Did not know that, @Brian.
	5:51am LiXiviated Life: Well isn’t this a pretty tune
	⚡ 5:52am Brian in UK: Robm, the ignorant Culture secretary is doing her best to undermine this wonderful institution. I know there are faults as in any large corporation but the quality is generally high. I am guessing that she would prefer a free market which would imply the pile of dung that is fox news.
	5:52am Brian D: It is, Lix, isn't it?
	⚡ 5:53am Brian in UK: This sing proves that Leonard had a sense of humour if it were needed.
	5:53am LiXiviated Life: “Bees made honey on her lips…”
	⚡ 5:55am Michael of Cologne: @Brian in UK: Yes indeedy, polarized. And, as I suggested, the one pole is not human.
	5:55am Robm: @BIUK hope your culture secretary does not get away from it, BTW love listening to BBC4 BBC5 BBC London and the World Series
	5:55am Brian D: Hey all, before I forget. As always, it's been an absolute pleasure. Thank you for listening. Have a great week and stay safe.
	5:56am Scott67: Thanks Brian, until next week, take care mate. 🍻😎🤙🎶📻🌏🌻
	5:56am Robm: @BIUK meant world service sorry Howdy scott67
	5:58am Scott67: G'day Robm! How'd ya sleep mate? 🍻😎🤙💨☕
	⚡ 5:58am Brian in UK: Brian great job. Hang the rich
	5:59am Robm: @Scott67 pretty good
	6:00am Foutracbaldisco: Yesss, great John Doe!!! Thank you Brian!
	⚡ 6:00am Nikita: @Scottie that sick 👌 Can’t wait to have a listen!
	6:01am Scott67: Cheers Nikita! Leave a comment mate!🍻😎🤙
