WFMU: Currents with Brian D: Playlist from February 26, 2023

Listener comments!
	⚡ 3:02am Don in Tampere: Good morning Brian! Got back last night from a great trip to the cabin with my best friend, off in a couple of hours to a conference in Munich but listening until then.
	3:06am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Bangkok" by "Alex Chilton" Alex being unabashedly racist and geographically ignorant -- what's not to love?
	3:08am Brian D: ↳ Roberto @3:06 Good morning Don and all.
	3:09am Brian D: ↳ Roberto @3:06 Hadn't intended to play that track.
	3:10am Roberto: ↳ Brian D @3:09 I noticed the playlist changed its mind midway through.
	⚡ 3:11am Don in Tampere: I didn't know the Bangkok song before, but damn Roberto, you're right; those lyrics are pretty offensive, and I'm having a hard time finding sarcastic distance in them. Apologies if my tuping is a little wonky; it finally became winter here and, though it's beautiful, I end up with the ends of my fingers splitting due to the cold and dryness, and half my fingertips are covered with band-aids
	3:11am Brian D: It's the playlist's prerogative...
	3:13am Roberto: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:11 Your tuping is just fine.
	⚡ 3:18am Geoffrey in Ottawa: @ Don I've been putting ointment and band aids on my thumb all week for the same reason.
	3:21am Fox: I got my wish twice over! We co-host for each other! Yay!
	3:21am Brian D: ↳ Fox @3:21 I know! Excited as well.
	⚡ 3:33am Don in Tampere: ↳ Roberto @3:13 Jobu Typaki
	3:39am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:33 Greek?
	3:39am Fox: ↳ Brian D @3:39 EVERYTHING BAGEL.
	⚡ 3:46am Don in Tampere: Right Fox!
	3:46am Brian D: ↳ Fox @3:39 I ruin everything.
	3:48am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & Woke Mobsters!
	3:48am Brian D: Hello Chris.
	3:49am Destroit: Hi gang. What have i gotten myself into.
	3:52am Fox: I prefer Studio B as well. It's cozy and dim, and it sounds better, too!
	3:54am Fox: Yeah, I totally fucked up the start of my show this past week as well. I had no idea where to stick my drives!!
	3:57am Brian D: ↳ Fox @3:54 I feel like things have changed up here, but whatever. I do prefer it atmospherically.
	⚡ 4:02am Don in Tampere: Hearing talk about putting drives in the right place makes me feel old. I DJd all the way through college and grad school, but at that time the options were turntables and cassette players.
	4:11am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @4:02 We're not that high-tech either, Don. I hadn't DJed in 30 years when I started here. It wasn't that steep a learning curve. At least technically.
	4:11am StringOFperils: Good morning (middle of the night) Brian and courtiers of Current!
	4:14am Brian D: Hello String!
	4:47am Chris Crisco: Jimmy Carter took a lot of shit sticking up for Palestinians. He certainly has been proven correct given Israel's current Fascist tendencies
	4:51am pgalub: Hey Brian and everyone!
	4:52am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:47 Carter Center was among the first to use the "A" word.
	4:52am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @4:51 Hello, Mr. Galub.
	4:59am fred: I still remember being distraught at hearing Reagan had won, which says a lot about US influence in other countries. And tying in to "This Stupid World", the first thing I heard waking up from heart surgery was nurses saying Trump had won
	5:01am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:59 Both pretty low points right there, Fred. Hello, by the way.
	⚡ 5:05am Michael of Cologne: Late to the party on this sunny, cold Cologne morning, with greetings to Brian and all. Distraught at this stupid world? Yes and no.
	5:10am StringOFperils: Stupid moment of the week IMO: Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy gives thousands of hours of video footage etc (in possession of the 'government', IN an ongoing criminal investigation) to Tucker Carlson at FOX News, to (hmmm, let me guess) foment as much national chaos as possible? HOW can that action fly? That's the government? Where are the courts?
	5:18am StringOFperils: ^referring to the Jan 6 2021 attempted insurrection OR patriot moment, depending on your version of reality
	5:18am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:05 Greetings Michael!
	5:19am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @5:10 Pretty unbelievable, String. Would be one thing if he shared it with journalists...
	5:28am fred: Hearty White's show is March 10, but sold out: www.eventbrite.com...
	5:30am JohnEBGood: Greetings from hot Florida DJ Brian D. Love your show.
	5:31am Chris Crisco: ↳ StringOFperils @5:10 Clucker who beat a libel suit by admitting in court to being 100% full of shit (and the Insane Clown appointed judge accepted that novel legal argument and let Clucker off the hook)
	5:32am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:28 Ah, Fred. Thanks. Needs to be updated on the home page.
	5:32am Brian D: ↳ JohnEBGood @5:30 Thanks John!
	5:38am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and all!! I get to catch the last 1/2 hour of you show...I'll hit the archive later!!
	5:39am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @5:38 Good to have you, Strand.
	5:41am Strandlund: ↳ StringOFperils @5:10 I totally agree! I wonder some days as to what world I've woken up too...It's frustrating!!
	⚡ 5:44am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & Co. Whilst there are men there will be wars. God, if you believe that sort of thing gave men penises (penii) as 'his' idea of a joke.
	⚡ 5:48am Brian in UK: Brian, good luck with the Marathon, two weeks of mayhem. Will you be serenading us at the Hoof 'n Mouth?
	⚡ 5:48am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "The Beautiful Mystery" by "Ernesto Cervini" Winding down beautifully now, Brain. Thanks.
	5:50am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @5:48 Hello Brian! No, I'll spare you all my singing voice. Will be MC-ing for Fox and Jim the Poet, however, which are personal highlights for me. Can't wait.
	5:50am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:48 Trying Michael. Thank you!
	5:55am Brian D: All, it's been an absolute pleasure. Hope you've enjoyed the radio. Stay safe and have a great week.
