Listener comments!
	3:03am ERIK / VermonT: Dang … I gots ta pick up that 2011 Some Girls remastered version ! Very strong album !
	⚡ 3:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @3:03 hi brian! yeah, last time rolling stones were relevant
	3:06am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:05 I don't hate Undercover.
	3:06am Brian D: Hello all!
	3:07am T GRavel: Hey Brian!
	⚡ 3:08am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian, Erik, Tom Tom, T! Hi from a beautiful snowy Tampere.
	⚡ 3:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:06 never made it to that one
	3:09am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:08 Probably not worth the trip now.
	⚡ 3:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:08 saw something about your pm being in trouble from far right. is there an election soon?
	3:11am fred: Hello Brian and all
	3:13am Brian D: Fred! Don! T! ERIK!
	⚡ 3:20am Don in Tampere: Parliamentary electioncs are indeed today, and the far-right True Finns, the far-right light Kokoomus and the Social Democrats (Marin's party) are all within a percentage point of each other. Lots of people who would usually vote Greens or Left Alliance (as I usually do in the local elections in which I'm allowed to vote as a non-Finnish resident) are voting SD in hopes that they end up at the top and get first dibs on putting together a coalition. Unfortunately, even if SD ends up on top, there is probably no way to avoid bringing Kokoomus into the coalition, just like they had to bring in the asshole neolib party Keskusta last time. But if Kokoomus wins, there is a real danger they could go into coalition with the True Finns.
	⚡ 3:21am Don in Tampere: It's gonna be a real cliffhanger (or as they say in German, Zitterpartie, shiver match)
	⚡ 3:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:20 yikes!
	3:23am fred: Brits behaving badly abroad? What a novel concept! At least Lord Elgin didn't put those marbles in a blender, but India might have things to say
	3:23am Onion: As an Amsterdam resident of ten years I can confirm that British tourists are a menace to public order.
	3:24am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Clip: BBC-Amsterdam ad campaign targets young men... Stop being bloody twats!
	⚡ 3:24am Don in Tampere: THey behave badly enough in the UK, and they are indeed famous for bad behavior on stag/hen weekends and at summer toiurist resorts.
	3:25am Brian D: ↳ Onion @3:23 I'm sure we Yanks aren't much better, to be fair.
	3:27am Onion: ↳ Brian D @3:25 There are less of us. We're just as loud, but less violent. 65€ flights from London don't help.
	⚡ 3:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @3:23 one time in india, my indian in-laws at the time were staying at the bengal club in kolkata. the brits that were staying there were walking around like they were in jewel in the crown
	3:29am Brian D: ↳ Onion @3:27 Ah. Good point.
	3:32am Onion: This is beyond the scope of the comments board, but I want to be clear. American culture is not less violent than British culture, but the most violent of Americans don't tend to apply for passports, whereas most Brits travel internationally. Why wouldn't they. They come from a small-ish island.
	3:33am Brian D: ↳ Onion @3:32 I think we're all on the same page, Onion.
	⚡ 3:33am Don in Tampere: ↳ Onion @3:32 A smallish island with relatively miserable weather.... Not that I remember the weather in Amsterdam being that much better, but there are lots of legal options to forget it.
	3:34am DiscoMystic: Byden is an oil slick … #UNIPARTY
	3:36am Onion: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:33 A good rule of thumb is that if you want to know the weather in Amsterdam check London's weather 24 hours ago...
	3:38am Heidee: Hi Brian, hi all! @Don, good luck with your Zitterpartie 🇫🇮
	3:39am Brian D: Hello Heidee!
	⚡ 3:42am Don in Tampere: Though Frankfurt (my old and probably future adopted hometown) has some of the driest and warmest weather in Germany, the weather there isn't so great either. But April/May and August-October can be beautiful. Winter is several months of drizzle and with global warmin, June and July are usually unbearably hot. So my current plan after retirement is to spend February/March (when it's beautiful and snowy) and June July (when it's usually warm but not too hot, and it doesn't get dark) in the cabin in Finland, and otherwise in Frankfurt.
	3:44am Heidee: @Don, always welcome.
	3:44am ERIK / VermonT: Bach to Stones : “Undercover” - whoa, really?! That might be a first. Just the album cover itself was a challenge to commit to. But what do I know. I loved Tattoo You & Dirty Work. * in fact, I never went beyond Dirty Work, which leads me to ask : anybody find 2005’s “A Bigger Bang” worthy ? Robert Christgau is quite enthusiastic about A Bigger Bang (2005).
	3:44am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:42 THAT sounds like a plan!
	3:45am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @3:44 Well, you may be the first I've heard to have a positive thing to say about Dirty Work. I started tuning them out with that record.
	3:46am Brian D: ↳ Brian D @3:45 To each their own, of course.
	3:49am fred: A friend of mine skipped the end of high school exam because he couldn't miss what was billed as the last Stones tour ever. That was in 1989 (he did graduate the next year)
	⚡ 3:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "We Will Fall" by "The Stooges" seem to remember iggy pop saying that this was an important inclusion on the album to let people know they were up to more than being just another rock band... as if the rest of it wasn't enough
	3:50am Brian D: ↳ fred @3:49 I saw that tour. It was better than school.
	⚡ 3:50am Don in Tampere: I stopped listening to the Stones around the time of Goats Head Soup. There were a couple of decent songs on that one but I didn't find anything after that at all complelling. For me, their peak was Beggars Banquet/Let it Bleed/Exile on Main St.
	3:52am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Side A" by "City of Glasgow Police Pipe Band" I think I had this record in the early '90s. I played it at work every morning for a while to annoy my co-workers.
	3:54am Magenta: I also have a thing for bagpipes, Brian! I’m actually loving this music!
	⚡ 3:56am Brian in UK: Hello Brian. Gimme dat Pibroch.
	3:57am fred: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:50 To me their best in decades was the Monty Python ad (does anyone remember that?)
	3:57am Stanley: Is it taboo to poo poo the tattoo?
	⚡ 3:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stanley @3:57 i think a large part of tattoo you was recorded during some girls sessions
	4:02am Brian D: ↳ Roberto @3:52 I may have your copy!
	4:03am fred: @Brian: Did Jen fill in for you before? I liked the show I heard, so I'm looking forward to that
	4:03am Brian D: ↳ Magenta @3:54 Only the cool people do, Magenta!
	4:03am ERIK / VermonT: Yeah , I know. Dirty Work It’s got that hyped up over produced Steve Lillywhite sound … but i suppose, being partial to those Lillywhite XTC / Gabriel / Siouxie Banshees / P-Furs / Simple Minds , etc albums … my ear was already pre-a-tuned. Again, I’m the guy that also really loved Dylan’s “Under the Red Sky album - produced by the Was Not Was brothers ! Yippee 🥳
	4:04am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @3:56 Hello Brian!
	4:05am Brian D: ↳ fred @3:57 Proof that Mick does indeed have a sense of humo[u]r. Charlie Watts as straight man.
	4:05am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:03 She did. She's awesome.
	4:06am London Calling Francky: Morning all Brianists and Currentists! Looks like I am late to the party. And what party it is: Parquet Courts, Death Valley Girls, L7, the Stooges and now Massive Attack! This is getting my Sunday morning kicking off!
	4:06am fred: ↳ Roberto @3:52 Many years ago, a coworker asked me to play what I was listening to out loud. It happened to be Kenny G (the good one). It never happened again
	4:06am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:03 As I say, Erik, there's no wrong answer here.
	4:07am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @4:06 Good morning LCF.
	4:08am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @4:07 Morning Brian! Thanks for the great Sunday morning vibes, as always!
	⚡ 4:09am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @4:05 Mornin' Brian & all. I'm rather partial to Keith's songs on the later albums, even up to Bigger Bang
	4:10am Brian D: Greetings Michael!
	4:10am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @4:08 Very kind, LCF. Thank you. My pleasure.
	4:10am fred: ↳ Song: "Sweet Dreams" by "Henry Kawahara" I'm hearing Kate Bush vibes there
	4:10am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & everyone. Lock Insane Clown Up!!!
	4:12am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:10 Hello Chris. Not getting my hopes up.
	⚡ 4:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:10 orange one in jump suit to match and who will do his hair
	⚡ 4:15am tom tom the pipers son: i predict he'll shave his head if he goes in and looks like lex luthor
	4:16am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:15 Or G. Gordon Liddy.
	4:16am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @4:12 Me either. But this weak case is all we have at this time. Would love to know what is going on in Atlanta DA Willis's head. 9 months waiting for the Special Grand Jury report and she is still dicking around pondering what (if anything) to do with it.
	⚡ 4:16am tom tom the pipers son: true
	4:17am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:16 Yes. And they have audio!
	4:20am ERIK / VermonT: Speaking of the 80s Sounds this M83 has some retro 4AD vibes.
	4:22am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @4:17 They have a fucking smoking gun for Christ sake. Seems like Insane Clown's goon squad has gotten to her and put the fear in her.
	4:22am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:17 Please. He'll never be convicted. He'll delay until after the election, and he'll be either immune as president or an irrelevant footnote, which would be the worst punishment for him
	4:23am London Calling Francky: ↳ Song: "Faces in the Firelight" by "Shana Cleveland" Oh this is getting even better Brian! For some reason, I cannot stop listening to this album! I feel it just perfectly complements the stuff La Luz has been outputting, in a nice soulful melancholic way!
	4:23am LiXiviated Life: hello night people
	4:25am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @4:23 Yeah, it's terrific. La Luz was Artist of the Week on Wake this past week.
	4:26am fred: ↳ Song: "A Parable of the Trusting" by "Big \| Brave" I'd love to see them live someday
	4:27am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:26 Me too. Love this record.
	⚡ 4:27am Brian in UK: Stones peak album, Aftermath. They did improve when Jimmy Miller started producing. My five cents worth.
	4:27am Chris Crisco: ↳ fred @4:22 If Insane Clown emerges from all these prosecutions unscathed he will be a fucking legend the martyr who cheated death and turned the tables on the deep state and made them the martyrs.
	4:27am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:27 Again, no wrong answer.
	4:28am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:27 That is the fear.
	4:28am alan the painter: good mooring
	4:29am London Calling Francky: ↳ Song: "Clip: WION-Russian maneuvers at UN Security Council" I mean having Russia as the current rotating head of the UN Security Council it is like having the Big Bad Wolf running the sheepfold for a month...
	4:29am morphe': Attuned !!!!
	4:30am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:27 EU tour coming, but no stop nearby, as usual (we lack mid-sized venues, so it's basically bar or arena)
	4:30am DiscoMystic: Seymour Hersh will not be televised … Gil Scott-Heron’s birthday btw
	⚡ 4:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "A Parable of the Trusting" by "Big \| Brave" bone rattling
	4:31am Brian D: Alan! Morphe!
	4:31am Brian D: ↳ DiscoMystic @4:30 Hello Disco. Ah, didn't know that. May need to adjust on the fly.
	4:32am DiscoMystic: 👌
	4:34am fred: Maybe some listeners can have better luck: www.bigbrave.ca...
	4:34am Brian D: Yes, Mexico and US and their native Canada on the docket as well.
	⚡ 4:37am Heidee: Back with croissants and black coffee in bed, dog on the bed. Ah, the life.
	4:39am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @4:37 That'll be me in about 2.5 hours, Heidee.
	4:39am ERIK / VermonT: “Shrinkwrap, you lie, you lie, you lie Wolf in sheep's clothing Enshrine our latest product Define the hollow spaces (Stimulus and response) Mobilised cellophane Untouched by human hands Don't look a gift horse in the mouth Don't bite the hand that feeds you You can have your cake and eat it”
	4:40am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:39 Ack... This Heat! I forgot Erik. Apologies. I'll make a note for the 15th/16th.
	⚡ 4:42am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @4:28 Demagogic democracy Bent on unscrupulous manipulation, duping the masses with skilled provocation, selling them lies that tickle their taste, stoking their fears to spew out their hate There's many a ploy to bolster illusions, prolonging the game by sowing confusion, beguiling the mind to keep on the surface, that covers the grotesquely burgeoning surplus Comment on Trump's speech in Waco, Texas on 25 March 2023
	⚡ 4:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:39 what this heat song is this?
	⚡ 4:42am Heidee: So sorry to hear about those tornadoes ripping through the States. Avalanches in Norway... Sending pixie dust, in fact around the world... Once you start thinking about people in need...
	4:42am fred: I didn't see much of the Sonic Protest festival this year (dance conflicts), but Nape Neck blew my mind (Erase Errata vibes, context for old people like me, but louder)
	4:43am ERIK / VermonT: Heidee: wasn’t that a Squeeze song ? - now all we need is a toothbrush, some toothpaste, perhaps a flannel for my face.
	4:43am Brian D: New shoes and a case...
	⚡ 4:45am tom tom the pipers son: brian, rimp ramp romp is a this heat song that doesn't get played much
	4:49am ERIK / VermonT: - ha , impressive ! 👏 flying colors. Thanks for being so in-tune. Yet, No worries or musts. Whatever you bring , We sing.
	4:49am fred: ↳ Song: "Pérélandra" by "Emmanuelle Parrenin" I did see her perform ten years ago in an art gallery. Nice set, but the event left a sour taste because some guys played next and just wouldn't stop, which ended a possible venue. And they were proud of it
	⚡ 4:57am Heidee: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:43 Or: Need You Tonight (INXS) Need To (Korn) You Need To Calm Down (Taylor Swift) What You Need (The Weeknd) All I Need (Radiohead) I Need A Doctor (Dr. Dre) Baby I Need Your Love (Four Tops) You're All I Need (Marvin Gaye) I Need My Girl (The National) Everything We Need (Kanye West) I Need A Forest Fire (James Blake) I Need You (America) You Need Me, I Don't Need You (Ed Sheeran) I Need To Know (Tom Petty and the Heratbreakers) I Need Some Sleep (Eels) All You Need Is Love (The Beatles) That is fun reasearching :-)
	5:04am fred: ↳ Heidee @4:57 Not sure Brian will play Kanye though
	⚡ 5:05am Heidee: Hm.
	5:06am Panther: This is cool
	5:07am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:04 To be fair, I HAVE: www.wfmu.org...
	5:08am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning!
	⚡ 5:08am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @5:07 Great playlist, I'll have to get back to that!
	5:10am fred: ↳ Song: "Clip: WTSP/KSAT-Juarez fire" Migrant setting fires in protest is a regular thing here. Sometimes cops watch them burn. Not often, but it does happen. The citadel mentality isn't just in the US
	5:10am Brian D: 'Morning Aaron.
	5:11am ERIK / VermonT: TomTom : shrinkwrap is from the stunning this heat “deceit” album. I haven’t re-visited their peel sessions album in ages. You got me to notice (& stunned) that “this is Not this heat” toured as late as 2019 ! NYC. Charles Hayward is a revelation to see & hear live !
	⚡ 5:14am tom tom the pipers son: thought i was familiar with deceit, just not that one. i believe this is not this heat shows are on youtube
	5:17am morphe': This Gil Scott is new to me ???!!!????!!!
	5:18am DiscoMystic: gorgeous
	5:18am ERIK / VermonT: Rarely hear the good folks at the station air-out “Cassiber” anymore. I miss those guys. Chris Cutler was my drummer hero worship thru my formative years.
	5:21am fred: I could have seen Gil Scott-Heron but I had a dance show that day and thought I'd see him later. Then he died. Same thing with Joe Strummer. Dance comes first
	⚡ 5:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Black Woman" by "Sonny and Linda Sharrock" nate k played another amazing track from this album i think titled blind willie
	5:25am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:23 It's really an amazing record. Linda's vocals are transcendent.
	5:26am ERIK / VermonT: Oh man , Sonny Sharrock !!!! - was another revelation to see live. I count myself a lucky one , just sawer him once ! Linda duo’d and matched him so complimentary wise. Hey , that London Brew thing was Fabu ! Thanks for the introduction.
	5:26am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:25 Soon banned in Florida
	5:26am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:26 Sigh. Probably.
	5:28am jinjabredboy: Good morning Brian and all - fine show today
	5:29am Brian D: Good morning Jinja. Thank you.
	⚡ 5:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Benzine" by "Al-Qasar" won this cd, thanks brian!
	5:30am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:29 Ah, that's right! Thank YOU. It's terrific.
	5:31am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:29 Lucky you!
	⚡ 5:31am tom tom the pipers son: thx fred
	5:34am ERIK / VermonT: BlackWoman is the album that I never could find thru the pre-internet era. (Wow - dates me old). Sharrock as guest in collaboration concert at The Knitting Factory(?) Proceeded to shred many of his strings immediately at the beginning of his featured moments. So fun to watch him blindly re-string his guitar whilst creating un-godly sounds from the few stings remaining. Oh what memories.
	⚡ 5:46am Brian in UK: Nice work Brian. A lively comments board today. Just the right time of day for European folks. Myself not included due to the UK taking back control (of nothing).
	5:47am Brian D: Indeed, thanks Brian!
	5:48am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian in UK @5:46 Don't even get me started Brian :-D As a French Man in London Town, it is now a nightmare of nonsensical bureaucracy! Anyway, a very good morning to you!
	5:50am morphe': ↳ Brian in UK @5:46 Yes CET 9-12 listening not like herocially doing NYC overnighters.... Thanks again BD and all !!!
	⚡ 5:51am Brian in UK: ↳ London Calling Francky @5:48 And to you, mon ami. The parallels between Joh..on & Tr..p are depressing.
	⚡ 5:52am Brian in UK: ↳ morphe' @5:50 We cannot even be on the same time zone!!! An island race that does not like fish. Oh boy.
	⚡ 5:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Tower Of Song" by "Leonard Cohen" there was that david sanborn tv show on sunday nights . cohen appeared and may have done this song at least this era
	5:54am morphe': ↳ London Calling Francky @5:48 A not too often reported Brexit story is that The North of Ireland (56% v 44%) and Scotland (62% v 38%) voted REMAIN ..
	5:55am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian in UK @5:51 That is not to even mention the 49 day-lasting Letruss and the current incompetent clueless small-boat obsessing lot! Mega-sigh
	5:55am radioronan: Thanks for the program, Brian and sending me off into Leonard's Tower of Song twilight..enjoy, all!
	5:55am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & all! Missed the first hour because we turned the clocks back here in New Zealand and didn't do the math right. Hopefully I'll get the math right when I try to post this comment!
	5:56am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @5:54 Last time I was in both places -- late 2018 -- they were still angry about it.
	5:56am DiscoMystic: The Herzog film Fata Morgana uses Cohen to excellent effect.
	⚡ 5:56am tom tom the pipers son: have a nice vacay brian, "see" ya later...
	5:56am London Calling Francky: ↳ morphe' @5:54 Oh I am very much aware of that Morphe', our beloved fellow Ulsterians and Scots had a much less short-sighted view of it all...
	5:56am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @5:55 Cheers Chris.
	5:57am Brian D: Thank you all for joining me this week. I'll miss you next week. Enjoy Jen B. and have a safe fortnight. "See" you in two weeks.
	5:59am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @5:57 Enjoy the boss, Brian D... and brace yourself for a 3 and 3/4 hour-long gig, at least!
	5:59am Aaron Working In Newark: Take care!
	⚡ 5:59am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @5:57 Have a good break, Brian!

	3:03am ERIK / VermonT: Dang … I gots ta pick up that 2011 Some Girls remastered version ! Very strong album !
	⚡ 3:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @3:03 hi brian! yeah, last time rolling stones were relevant
	3:06am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:05 I don't hate Undercover.
	3:06am Brian D: Hello all!
	3:07am T GRavel: Hey Brian!
	⚡ 3:08am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian, Erik, Tom Tom, T! Hi from a beautiful snowy Tampere.
	⚡ 3:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:06 never made it to that one
	3:09am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:08 Probably not worth the trip now.
	⚡ 3:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:08 saw something about your pm being in trouble from far right. is there an election soon?
	3:11am fred: Hello Brian and all
	3:13am Brian D: Fred! Don! T! ERIK!
	⚡ 3:20am Don in Tampere: Parliamentary electioncs are indeed today, and the far-right True Finns, the far-right light Kokoomus and the Social Democrats (Marin's party) are all within a percentage point of each other. Lots of people who would usually vote Greens or Left Alliance (as I usually do in the local elections in which I'm allowed to vote as a non-Finnish resident) are voting SD in hopes that they end up at the top and get first dibs on putting together a coalition. Unfortunately, even if SD ends up on top, there is probably no way to avoid bringing Kokoomus into the coalition, just like they had to bring in the asshole neolib party Keskusta last time. But if Kokoomus wins, there is a real danger they could go into coalition with the True Finns.
	⚡ 3:21am Don in Tampere: It's gonna be a real cliffhanger (or as they say in German, Zitterpartie, shiver match)
	⚡ 3:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:20 yikes!
	3:23am fred: Brits behaving badly abroad? What a novel concept! At least Lord Elgin didn't put those marbles in a blender, but India might have things to say
	3:23am Onion: As an Amsterdam resident of ten years I can confirm that British tourists are a menace to public order.
	3:24am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Clip: BBC-Amsterdam ad campaign targets young men... Stop being bloody twats!
	⚡ 3:24am Don in Tampere: THey behave badly enough in the UK, and they are indeed famous for bad behavior on stag/hen weekends and at summer toiurist resorts.
	3:25am Brian D: ↳ Onion @3:23 I'm sure we Yanks aren't much better, to be fair.
	3:27am Onion: ↳ Brian D @3:25 There are less of us. We're just as loud, but less violent. 65€ flights from London don't help.
	⚡ 3:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @3:23 one time in india, my indian in-laws at the time were staying at the bengal club in kolkata. the brits that were staying there were walking around like they were in jewel in the crown
	3:29am Brian D: ↳ Onion @3:27 Ah. Good point.
	3:32am Onion: This is beyond the scope of the comments board, but I want to be clear. American culture is not less violent than British culture, but the most violent of Americans don't tend to apply for passports, whereas most Brits travel internationally. Why wouldn't they. They come from a small-ish island.
	3:33am Brian D: ↳ Onion @3:32 I think we're all on the same page, Onion.
	⚡ 3:33am Don in Tampere: ↳ Onion @3:32 A smallish island with relatively miserable weather.... Not that I remember the weather in Amsterdam being that much better, but there are lots of legal options to forget it.
	3:34am DiscoMystic: Byden is an oil slick … #UNIPARTY
	3:36am Onion: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:33 A good rule of thumb is that if you want to know the weather in Amsterdam check London's weather 24 hours ago...
	3:38am Heidee: Hi Brian, hi all! @Don, good luck with your Zitterpartie 🇫🇮
	3:39am Brian D: Hello Heidee!
	⚡ 3:42am Don in Tampere: Though Frankfurt (my old and probably future adopted hometown) has some of the driest and warmest weather in Germany, the weather there isn't so great either. But April/May and August-October can be beautiful. Winter is several months of drizzle and with global warmin, June and July are usually unbearably hot. So my current plan after retirement is to spend February/March (when it's beautiful and snowy) and June July (when it's usually warm but not too hot, and it doesn't get dark) in the cabin in Finland, and otherwise in Frankfurt.
	3:44am Heidee: @Don, always welcome.
	3:44am ERIK / VermonT: Bach to Stones : “Undercover” - whoa, really?! That might be a first. Just the album cover itself was a challenge to commit to. But what do I know. I loved Tattoo You & Dirty Work. * in fact, I never went beyond Dirty Work, which leads me to ask : anybody find 2005’s “A Bigger Bang” worthy ? Robert Christgau is quite enthusiastic about A Bigger Bang (2005).
	3:44am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:42 THAT sounds like a plan!
	3:45am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @3:44 Well, you may be the first I've heard to have a positive thing to say about Dirty Work. I started tuning them out with that record.
	3:46am Brian D: ↳ Brian D @3:45 To each their own, of course.
	3:49am fred: A friend of mine skipped the end of high school exam because he couldn't miss what was billed as the last Stones tour ever. That was in 1989 (he did graduate the next year)
	⚡ 3:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "We Will Fall" by "The Stooges" seem to remember iggy pop saying that this was an important inclusion on the album to let people know they were up to more than being just another rock band... as if the rest of it wasn't enough
	3:50am Brian D: ↳ fred @3:49 I saw that tour. It was better than school.
	⚡ 3:50am Don in Tampere: I stopped listening to the Stones around the time of Goats Head Soup. There were a couple of decent songs on that one but I didn't find anything after that at all complelling. For me, their peak was Beggars Banquet/Let it Bleed/Exile on Main St.
	3:52am Roberto: ↳ Song: "Side A" by "City of Glasgow Police Pipe Band" I think I had this record in the early '90s. I played it at work every morning for a while to annoy my co-workers.
	3:54am Magenta: I also have a thing for bagpipes, Brian! I’m actually loving this music!
	⚡ 3:56am Brian in UK: Hello Brian. Gimme dat Pibroch.
	3:57am fred: ↳ Don in Tampere @3:50 To me their best in decades was the Monty Python ad (does anyone remember that?)
	3:57am Stanley: Is it taboo to poo poo the tattoo?
	⚡ 3:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stanley @3:57 i think a large part of tattoo you was recorded during some girls sessions
	4:02am Brian D: ↳ Roberto @3:52 I may have your copy!
	4:03am fred: @Brian: Did Jen fill in for you before? I liked the show I heard, so I'm looking forward to that
	4:03am Brian D: ↳ Magenta @3:54 Only the cool people do, Magenta!
	4:03am ERIK / VermonT: Yeah , I know. Dirty Work It’s got that hyped up over produced Steve Lillywhite sound … but i suppose, being partial to those Lillywhite XTC / Gabriel / Siouxie Banshees / P-Furs / Simple Minds , etc albums … my ear was already pre-a-tuned. Again, I’m the guy that also really loved Dylan’s “Under the Red Sky album - produced by the Was Not Was brothers ! Yippee 🥳
	4:04am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @3:56 Hello Brian!
	4:05am Brian D: ↳ fred @3:57 Proof that Mick does indeed have a sense of humo[u]r. Charlie Watts as straight man.
	4:05am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:03 She did. She's awesome.
	4:06am London Calling Francky: Morning all Brianists and Currentists! Looks like I am late to the party. And what party it is: Parquet Courts, Death Valley Girls, L7, the Stooges and now Massive Attack! This is getting my Sunday morning kicking off!
	4:06am fred: ↳ Roberto @3:52 Many years ago, a coworker asked me to play what I was listening to out loud. It happened to be Kenny G (the good one). It never happened again
	4:06am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:03 As I say, Erik, there's no wrong answer here.
	4:07am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @4:06 Good morning LCF.
	4:08am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @4:07 Morning Brian! Thanks for the great Sunday morning vibes, as always!
	⚡ 4:09am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @4:05 Mornin' Brian & all. I'm rather partial to Keith's songs on the later albums, even up to Bigger Bang
	4:10am Brian D: Greetings Michael!
	4:10am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @4:08 Very kind, LCF. Thank you. My pleasure.
	4:10am fred: ↳ Song: "Sweet Dreams" by "Henry Kawahara" I'm hearing Kate Bush vibes there
	4:10am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & everyone. Lock Insane Clown Up!!!
	4:12am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:10 Hello Chris. Not getting my hopes up.
	⚡ 4:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:10 orange one in jump suit to match and who will do his hair
	⚡ 4:15am tom tom the pipers son: i predict he'll shave his head if he goes in and looks like lex luthor
	4:16am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:15 Or G. Gordon Liddy.
	4:16am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @4:12 Me either. But this weak case is all we have at this time. Would love to know what is going on in Atlanta DA Willis's head. 9 months waiting for the Special Grand Jury report and she is still dicking around pondering what (if anything) to do with it.
	⚡ 4:16am tom tom the pipers son: true
	4:17am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:16 Yes. And they have audio!
	4:20am ERIK / VermonT: Speaking of the 80s Sounds this M83 has some retro 4AD vibes.
	4:22am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @4:17 They have a fucking smoking gun for Christ sake. Seems like Insane Clown's goon squad has gotten to her and put the fear in her.
	4:22am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:17 Please. He'll never be convicted. He'll delay until after the election, and he'll be either immune as president or an irrelevant footnote, which would be the worst punishment for him
	4:23am London Calling Francky: ↳ Song: "Faces in the Firelight" by "Shana Cleveland" Oh this is getting even better Brian! For some reason, I cannot stop listening to this album! I feel it just perfectly complements the stuff La Luz has been outputting, in a nice soulful melancholic way!
	4:23am LiXiviated Life: hello night people
	4:25am Brian D: ↳ London Calling Francky @4:23 Yeah, it's terrific. La Luz was Artist of the Week on Wake this past week.
	4:26am fred: ↳ Song: "A Parable of the Trusting" by "Big \| Brave" I'd love to see them live someday
	4:27am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:26 Me too. Love this record.
	⚡ 4:27am Brian in UK: Stones peak album, Aftermath. They did improve when Jimmy Miller started producing. My five cents worth.
	4:27am Chris Crisco: ↳ fred @4:22 If Insane Clown emerges from all these prosecutions unscathed he will be a fucking legend the martyr who cheated death and turned the tables on the deep state and made them the martyrs.
	4:27am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:27 Again, no wrong answer.
	4:28am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:27 That is the fear.
	4:28am alan the painter: good mooring
	4:29am London Calling Francky: ↳ Song: "Clip: WION-Russian maneuvers at UN Security Council" I mean having Russia as the current rotating head of the UN Security Council it is like having the Big Bad Wolf running the sheepfold for a month...
	4:29am morphe': Attuned !!!!
	4:30am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:27 EU tour coming, but no stop nearby, as usual (we lack mid-sized venues, so it's basically bar or arena)
	4:30am DiscoMystic: Seymour Hersh will not be televised … Gil Scott-Heron’s birthday btw
	⚡ 4:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "A Parable of the Trusting" by "Big \| Brave" bone rattling
	4:31am Brian D: Alan! Morphe!
	4:31am Brian D: ↳ DiscoMystic @4:30 Hello Disco. Ah, didn't know that. May need to adjust on the fly.
	4:32am DiscoMystic: 👌
	4:34am fred: Maybe some listeners can have better luck: www.bigbrave.ca...
	4:34am Brian D: Yes, Mexico and US and their native Canada on the docket as well.
	⚡ 4:37am Heidee: Back with croissants and black coffee in bed, dog on the bed. Ah, the life.
	4:39am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @4:37 That'll be me in about 2.5 hours, Heidee.
	4:39am ERIK / VermonT: “Shrinkwrap, you lie, you lie, you lie Wolf in sheep's clothing Enshrine our latest product Define the hollow spaces (Stimulus and response) Mobilised cellophane Untouched by human hands Don't look a gift horse in the mouth Don't bite the hand that feeds you You can have your cake and eat it”
	4:40am Brian D: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:39 Ack... This Heat! I forgot Erik. Apologies. I'll make a note for the 15th/16th.
	⚡ 4:42am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @4:28 Demagogic democracy Bent on unscrupulous manipulation, duping the masses with skilled provocation, selling them lies that tickle their taste, stoking their fears to spew out their hate There's many a ploy to bolster illusions, prolonging the game by sowing confusion, beguiling the mind to keep on the surface, that covers the grotesquely burgeoning surplus Comment on Trump's speech in Waco, Texas on 25 March 2023
	⚡ 4:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:39 what this heat song is this?
	⚡ 4:42am Heidee: So sorry to hear about those tornadoes ripping through the States. Avalanches in Norway... Sending pixie dust, in fact around the world... Once you start thinking about people in need...
	4:42am fred: I didn't see much of the Sonic Protest festival this year (dance conflicts), but Nape Neck blew my mind (Erase Errata vibes, context for old people like me, but louder)
	4:43am ERIK / VermonT: Heidee: wasn’t that a Squeeze song ? - now all we need is a toothbrush, some toothpaste, perhaps a flannel for my face.
	4:43am Brian D: New shoes and a case...
	⚡ 4:45am tom tom the pipers son: brian, rimp ramp romp is a this heat song that doesn't get played much
	4:49am ERIK / VermonT: - ha , impressive ! 👏 flying colors. Thanks for being so in-tune. Yet, No worries or musts. Whatever you bring , We sing.
	4:49am fred: ↳ Song: "Pérélandra" by "Emmanuelle Parrenin" I did see her perform ten years ago in an art gallery. Nice set, but the event left a sour taste because some guys played next and just wouldn't stop, which ended a possible venue. And they were proud of it
	⚡ 4:57am Heidee: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @4:43 Or: Need You Tonight (INXS) Need To (Korn) You Need To Calm Down (Taylor Swift) What You Need (The Weeknd) All I Need (Radiohead) I Need A Doctor (Dr. Dre) Baby I Need Your Love (Four Tops) You're All I Need (Marvin Gaye) I Need My Girl (The National) Everything We Need (Kanye West) I Need A Forest Fire (James Blake) I Need You (America) You Need Me, I Don't Need You (Ed Sheeran) I Need To Know (Tom Petty and the Heratbreakers) I Need Some Sleep (Eels) All You Need Is Love (The Beatles) That is fun reasearching :-)
	5:04am fred: ↳ Heidee @4:57 Not sure Brian will play Kanye though
	⚡ 5:05am Heidee: Hm.
	5:06am Panther: This is cool
	5:07am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:04 To be fair, I HAVE: www.wfmu.org...
	5:08am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning!
	⚡ 5:08am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @5:07 Great playlist, I'll have to get back to that!
	5:10am fred: ↳ Song: "Clip: WTSP/KSAT-Juarez fire" Migrant setting fires in protest is a regular thing here. Sometimes cops watch them burn. Not often, but it does happen. The citadel mentality isn't just in the US
	5:10am Brian D: 'Morning Aaron.
	5:11am ERIK / VermonT: TomTom : shrinkwrap is from the stunning this heat “deceit” album. I haven’t re-visited their peel sessions album in ages. You got me to notice (& stunned) that “this is Not this heat” toured as late as 2019 ! NYC. Charles Hayward is a revelation to see & hear live !
	⚡ 5:14am tom tom the pipers son: thought i was familiar with deceit, just not that one. i believe this is not this heat shows are on youtube
	5:17am morphe': This Gil Scott is new to me ???!!!????!!!
	5:18am DiscoMystic: gorgeous
	5:18am ERIK / VermonT: Rarely hear the good folks at the station air-out “Cassiber” anymore. I miss those guys. Chris Cutler was my drummer hero worship thru my formative years.
	5:21am fred: I could have seen Gil Scott-Heron but I had a dance show that day and thought I'd see him later. Then he died. Same thing with Joe Strummer. Dance comes first
	⚡ 5:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Black Woman" by "Sonny and Linda Sharrock" nate k played another amazing track from this album i think titled blind willie
	5:25am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:23 It's really an amazing record. Linda's vocals are transcendent.
	5:26am ERIK / VermonT: Oh man , Sonny Sharrock !!!! - was another revelation to see live. I count myself a lucky one , just sawer him once ! Linda duo’d and matched him so complimentary wise. Hey , that London Brew thing was Fabu ! Thanks for the introduction.
	5:26am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:25 Soon banned in Florida
	5:26am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:26 Sigh. Probably.
	5:28am jinjabredboy: Good morning Brian and all - fine show today
	5:29am Brian D: Good morning Jinja. Thank you.
	⚡ 5:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Benzine" by "Al-Qasar" won this cd, thanks brian!
	5:30am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:29 Ah, that's right! Thank YOU. It's terrific.
	5:31am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:29 Lucky you!
	⚡ 5:31am tom tom the pipers son: thx fred
	5:34am ERIK / VermonT: BlackWoman is the album that I never could find thru the pre-internet era. (Wow - dates me old). Sharrock as guest in collaboration concert at The Knitting Factory(?) Proceeded to shred many of his strings immediately at the beginning of his featured moments. So fun to watch him blindly re-string his guitar whilst creating un-godly sounds from the few stings remaining. Oh what memories.
	⚡ 5:46am Brian in UK: Nice work Brian. A lively comments board today. Just the right time of day for European folks. Myself not included due to the UK taking back control (of nothing).
	5:47am Brian D: Indeed, thanks Brian!
	5:48am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian in UK @5:46 Don't even get me started Brian :-D As a French Man in London Town, it is now a nightmare of nonsensical bureaucracy! Anyway, a very good morning to you!
	5:50am morphe': ↳ Brian in UK @5:46 Yes CET 9-12 listening not like herocially doing NYC overnighters.... Thanks again BD and all !!!
	⚡ 5:51am Brian in UK: ↳ London Calling Francky @5:48 And to you, mon ami. The parallels between Joh..on & Tr..p are depressing.
	⚡ 5:52am Brian in UK: ↳ morphe' @5:50 We cannot even be on the same time zone!!! An island race that does not like fish. Oh boy.
	⚡ 5:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Tower Of Song" by "Leonard Cohen" there was that david sanborn tv show on sunday nights . cohen appeared and may have done this song at least this era
	5:54am morphe': ↳ London Calling Francky @5:48 A not too often reported Brexit story is that The North of Ireland (56% v 44%) and Scotland (62% v 38%) voted REMAIN ..
	5:55am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian in UK @5:51 That is not to even mention the 49 day-lasting Letruss and the current incompetent clueless small-boat obsessing lot! Mega-sigh
	5:55am radioronan: Thanks for the program, Brian and sending me off into Leonard's Tower of Song twilight..enjoy, all!
	5:55am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & all! Missed the first hour because we turned the clocks back here in New Zealand and didn't do the math right. Hopefully I'll get the math right when I try to post this comment!
	5:56am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @5:54 Last time I was in both places -- late 2018 -- they were still angry about it.
	5:56am DiscoMystic: The Herzog film Fata Morgana uses Cohen to excellent effect.
	⚡ 5:56am tom tom the pipers son: have a nice vacay brian, "see" ya later...
	5:56am London Calling Francky: ↳ morphe' @5:54 Oh I am very much aware of that Morphe', our beloved fellow Ulsterians and Scots had a much less short-sighted view of it all...
	5:56am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @5:55 Cheers Chris.
	5:57am Brian D: Thank you all for joining me this week. I'll miss you next week. Enjoy Jen B. and have a safe fortnight. "See" you in two weeks.
	5:59am London Calling Francky: ↳ Brian D @5:57 Enjoy the boss, Brian D... and brace yourself for a 3 and 3/4 hour-long gig, at least!
	5:59am Aaron Working In Newark: Take care!
	⚡ 5:59am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @5:57 Have a good break, Brian!
