	3:11am Brian D: Hello all. The monkeys are taking 5...
	3:13am Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Oh Well - Parts 1 & 2" by "Fleetwood Mac" How he get his guitar to sound like that? The monkeys are down at the pond playin' hockey

	⚡ 3:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:23 right...
	3:25am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:24 It's remarkably well written, though. And you don't need to read all the footnotes to follow.

	3:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Nivarna rules!

	3:28am fred: ↳ Brian D @3:23 Unlike Infinite Jest, where the footnotes are essential
	⚡ 3:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Clip: The Young Turks: College professor threaten... wow... nuts
	3:30am Brian D: ↳ fred @3:28 Right. In Ben's book, the footnotes mostly provide background to the events he cites and/or chronicles. The background is helpful, but doesn't add or detract.

	3:41am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @3:38 I'll explain on mic, but she had been sent home after disrupting an anti-abortion demonstration on campus. There's a lot we don't know about that story -- and it's possible the reporter and photographer aren't telling us everything -- but the machete isn't good, though.
	3:41am fred: ↳ LiXiviated Life @3:33 Holiday in Cambodia?
	3:42am modern blaze: machete isn’t good indeed but the caliber means
	3:43am fred: ↳ Brian D @3:41 Amanda Palmer's Machete was a pretty good song
	3:43am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @3:41 It is a bit extreme and uncalled for. Even if it is the NY Post.
	3:44am modern blaze: i wanna have sexes alot safe spot
	3:45am LiXiviated Life: “the machete isn't good,” ??? I disagree The machete is essential The whole thing exists because of the machete.

	3:47am modern blaze: NDA what is that?)
	3:47am LiXiviated Life: “extreme “ what does that mean in 2023?
	3:47am Brian D: ↳ fred @3:46 They actually ran one in the London Review of Books recently.
	3:49am modern blaze: ↳ Brian D @3:47 LRoB is too good
	⚡ 3:51am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @3:41 Morning Brian & all. The machete was all to no avail?
	3:51am Chris Crisco: ↳ LiXiviated Life @3:47 Roger Waters dressing up in full Nazi regalia.
	3:54am devlawn: ↳ Song: "Fam/Famine" by "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" Is Colin Stetson on that track?
	⚡ 3:56am tom tom the pipers son: lost in the supermarket w/ monkeys was evocative
	3:56am fred: ↳ Chris Crisco @3:51 Waters' bids for attention are getting more desperate and pathetic
	3:56am mr 6: Those monkeys belong to Dave the Spaz
	3:57am fred: ↳ mr 6 @3:56 They got the memo, but they couldn't read it

	4:03am _Ike_: ↳ devlawn @3:45 Ah, the good ol’ days when the links would leak and fly freely on the comments…
	4:03am Brian D: ↳ devlawn @3:54 If so, not credited, dev.
	4:05am Brian D: ↳ Paulo now in Brighton @4:02 But you're in Brighton, which ain't half bad!

	⚡ 4:13am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & all the anti-Kissinger folks. Yes, we will bomb Cambodia & keep it as our little secret.
	4:14am timinoak: Beautiful version of Blackstar.
	4:14am Destroit: Blackstar track is pretty great

	4:21am LiXiviated Life: I do hate the idea of Kissinger
	4:21am fred: ↳ Paulo AD @4:18 Do you plan to golf while in England? Different conditions there I guess
	⚡ 4:21am Brian in UK: ↳ LiXiviated Life @4:19 Brian played this group earlier. 'And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead'. Might have been inspired by Kissinger.
	4:21am modern blaze: what to be where to go? here is Brian D
	4:22am devlawn: knot very much, thank you
	4:22am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:21 Member of the band now lives in Cambodia, in fact.

	4:24am Brian D: ↳ a9 @4:15 Record actually came out not long after the original.
	4:25am Paulo AD: Here's my current dilema. Do I get up and get hotel breakfast or do I wait for brunch with my friends????
	⚡ 4:25am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @4:22 Funny old world; but no body is laughing.
	4:25am Chris Crisco: Nothing short of mind boggling after all that shit we did that Vietnam and Cambodia are on good terms with the US now.

	4:30am modern blaze: about when
	4:31am fred: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:25 Also keep in mind that Vietnam's relationship with China is fraught with subjugation
	⚡ 4:31am Brian in UK: Almost time for the London Calling fiftieth anniversary reissue. A marketing ploy but why? We have added the 'bonus' tracks & the remix & the remastering & Joe Strummer farting in the bath. What else is there.
	⚡ 4:31am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Time" by "The Veils" 1D or 3D?
	4:34am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @4:26 Technically they're both Communist aren't they? But money talks regardless.

	⚡ 4:39am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian tuned into fox's show this week and was surprised... she talks a lot and plays spoken material, was not what i was expecting-liked it and she has an appealing on air personality, was hoping she'd be on the chat board this morning
	4:40am fred: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:25 Also the split between Cambodia and Thailand is complicated to say the least. Colonial divides, but also very long animosity
	4:41am fred: ↳ fred @4:40 And then there's Laos
	4:42am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:39 Fox's show is AWESOME. I love what she does. A perfect FMU show, in my opinion.
	4:43am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:40 Some of Lawrence Osborne's fiction delves into those issues, Fred.
	⚡ 4:45am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @4:42 Think that it is fair to say that Fox has grown into her show since being full time last Summer. Always enjoy spoken word.
	⚡ 4:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:42 have you heard maggie hertz's fill ins? i think she does great shows and like fox there's thought behind it
	4:50am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:43 Which ones? I might make a bulk order next time I go to my fave bookshop
	⚡ 4:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:50 read orwell's burmese days as a teen, remember it being good and depressing, have you ever read it?

	4:53am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:39 Yeah, fox is great. Love her
	4:54am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:50 Hunters in the Dark, for one.
	4:54am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:46 She up there with my favourites
	⚡ 4:54am Heidee: Hey all! Good morning Brian D! Finally spring has sprung, or rather leaped, here. I am blinded by the sun after months of monsoon-like weathers... Hi Paulo, enjoying the green and pleasant lands across the pond?
	4:55am Brian D: Hello Heidee! How's the pup?
	4:55am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @4:54 Heeeeeiiiiiiddddeeeeeee
	⚡ 4:55am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @4:54 she really brought it to this chat board a couple of weeks ago
	4:56am Paulo AD: It's been great thanks, awesome to see our friends. We would love to move back
	4:56am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:53 I haven't, the sad condition of public transit here cuts into my reading time. The olympic games will only make that much worse. A slow rolling nightmare
	⚡ 4:59am Heidee: Och so lovely to be instantly greeted by my radio friends 😘 @Paulo, nice thought, are you considering? @Brian, she's grand, thanks! We gave her a bath yesterday and rubbed her in coconut oil after, and she is so fluffy and yummy and soft, I cannot keep my hands and nose off her! ♡
	⚡ 4:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:56 there's a tentative move in nyc the make buses free, tentative but a move nevertheless
	⚡ 5:00am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Born on the Other Side" by "Storm the Palace" These are a few of my favourite things.
	⚡ 5:00am tom tom the pipers son: hi heidee, you haven't been around in a while
	5:01am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @4:59 I have a hard time doing that with our two all the time!
	⚡ 5:01am Heidee: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:00 Hi Tom Tom, so nice to be back after some busy weeks at school(s!). How are you doing Tom Tom?
	⚡ 5:02am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Don't You Go (ft. Bill Callahan)" by "Old Fire" Loving this
	⚡ 5:02am Brian in UK: Hello Heidee. So, a new pup has taken over the house. Wet nose everywhere.
	⚡ 5:03am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Don't You Go (ft. Bill Callahan)" by "Old Fire" No mistaking that voice.
	⚡ 5:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Heidee @5:01 pretty well, thanks heidee
	⚡ 5:03am Heidee: ↳ Brian in UK @5:02 Aww!
	⚡ 5:04am tom tom the pipers son: starting to get light here
	5:06am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:59 Here we have a shortage of bus drivers, so it's a mess. I guess they could try paying them a living wage, but that's dangerous radical thought
	5:06am Paulo AD: ↳ fred @4:08 To be honest, it's not that bad. I've started taking these new tablets called l-theanine and it's changing my life
	⚡ 5:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @5:06 yes
	⚡ 5:08am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @5:06 sounds great, will try out
	5:09am timinoak: Migration to the US is dangerous. Ever increasingly so. There are charities and legal aid groups that need help at the border. Please check out groups in El Paso if you are interested in contributing.
	5:12am fred: ↳ Paulo AD @5:06 Isn't that basically tea? You sound like an addict being from the UK and needing tea supplements. Apologies if Wales isn't into tea
	5:17am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:12 I'm drinking apricot tea. Tastes like pish, as the Scots would say.
	5:17am Brian D: ↳ timinoak @5:09 Indeed. Great groups in NY/NJ as well. Thank you, Timinoak.
	5:18am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:17 Is that Armenian?
	5:19am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:18 No. Which may be the problem.
	5:20am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:19 Armenia has the best apricots
	⚡ 5:22am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @5:19 Tea with bergamot from Turkey stolen by Earl Grey.
	5:23am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:20 Yes. Just like Turkey has the best figs.
	5:24am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:22 I make a point of avoiding Earl Grey.
	5:24am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:22 Belated hello, by the way.
	5:25am fred: Unrelated, but I bought my first batch of dance tickets for next year. I did balk on a couple that were just too expensive, so only 17. Two more batches to come
	⚡ 5:26am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @5:23 And a bewildering range of olives. But there's nothing to rival fat Kalamata olives.
	5:27am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:25 Is that for 2024? Seems far in advance, no?
	⚡ 5:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "She was Long Gone" by "Kristin Oppenheim" almost sounds a little christmas-y
	5:30am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @4:59 100% but the UK is a bit of a shit show at the moment... Plus tax
	⚡ 5:30am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Who Is This I?" by "Brian Harnetty" Not inward and outward, but hidden and disclosed.
	5:31am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @5:30 Brighton would be on my list for retirement otherwise, Paulo.
	⚡ 5:31am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @5:30 That's also what my ex-pat Scottish husband is saying...
	5:31am Paulo AD: ↳ fred @5:12 Oh tea is a religion. I actually realise how much tea I drink being back in the office... I get my steps in hahah
	5:32am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:24 Whaaaattttt early grey, hot is one of the best.
	5:32am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:27 That's the only way to get tickets. I waited too long (for other venues to open) and got crappy seating for Lucinda Childs, and missed out another of her show. Getting dance tickets is an adventure, two more batches in the future, June 6th and 21st, I might take a day off to get in, it's that competitive
	5:33am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:31 We are retiring to the Philippines, wve already looked into it. Going to buy an island haha
	5:34am Paulo AD: ↳ fred @5:32 Gutting, I love lucinda child's. The greatest dance show I ever saw was her and Phillip glass. I was lucky enough to see the last show
	⚡ 5:34am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @5:31 my first time in uk was fascinated by sugar packets with a women's manicure hands holding a cup and saucer of tea... fetish packets
	5:35am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @5:31 Yeah its a shocker. I though Abu Dhabi was expensive and then marks was charging £4 for a can of wine!!
	⚡ 5:35am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @5:17 Going to make a cuppa from organic lavender buds in a minute. Super mood booster.
	5:35am Paulo AD: Yes, I am a classy girl
	⚡ 5:35am Heidee: Gorgeous music this morning, Brian!
	5:35am fred: ↳ Paulo AD @5:34 Which one? Dance?
	5:36am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:32 Wow. Had no idea.
	5:37am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @5:35 oooh. may try that, Heidee.
	5:37am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @5:35 Cheers, Heidee.
	5:40am modern blaze: ↳ Song: "I Dream A Highway" by "Bria" this is for the wasteland
	5:40am Paulo AD: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:34 Hey, I dont Kink shame haha

	5:46am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:36 It's just me being such a contemporary dance fan. I first got into dance through my interest in a dancer. I lost her and moved to more contemporary stuff, fell in art love with Cynthia Loemij
	5:47am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:46 My wife is into dance, and I enjoy it as well. We haven't been in ages. Pre-pandemic.

	5:49am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:47 There's some good stuff at BAM

	5:49am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: thanks so much for the great tunes, Brian!
	5:50am fred: ↳ Paulo AD @5:49 Who was that?
	5:51am Paulo AD: Hang on, I'll have to look it up. Keri said she wiped it from her mind haha
	5:51am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:49 I know. And smaller venues close to us as well. We've been getting out more. Going to a jazz show tonight, in fact.
	⚡ 5:51am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Sonata XVI" by "Agnese Toniutti" Prepared piano invented by John Cage to accompany Merce Cunnigham's dance.
	5:52am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:51 Bingo, Michael.

	5:56am fred: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:55 WOW!
	⚡ 5:56am Heidee: ↳ fred @5:46 Cynthia Loemij is fantastic. Would love to see her live. We had Nanine Linning for several years choreographing the Heidelberg dance company, wonderful stuff. The Dutch seem to produce a good bunch of dancers.

	3:11am Brian D: Hello all. The monkeys are taking 5...

	3:24am Brian D: ↳ fred @3:21 That movie... STILL funny.
	⚡ 3:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:23 right...
	3:25am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:24 It's remarkably well written, though. And you don't need to read all the footnotes to follow.
	3:25am LiXiviated Life: The idea of Henry Kissinger is 100.
	3:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Nivarna rules!
	3:26am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @3:22 Veeee haf vayz of making you talk!

	3:28am fred: ↳ Brian D @3:23 Unlike Infinite Jest, where the footnotes are essential
	⚡ 3:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Clip: The Young Turks: College professor threaten... wow... nuts
	3:30am Brian D: ↳ fred @3:28 Right. In Ben's book, the footnotes mostly provide background to the events he cites and/or chronicles. The background is helpful, but doesn't add or detract.

	3:41am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @3:38 I'll explain on mic, but she had been sent home after disrupting an anti-abortion demonstration on campus. There's a lot we don't know about that story -- and it's possible the reporter and photographer aren't telling us everything -- but the machete isn't good, though.
	3:41am fred: ↳ LiXiviated Life @3:33 Holiday in Cambodia?
	3:42am modern blaze: machete isn’t good indeed but the caliber means
	3:43am fred: ↳ Brian D @3:41 Amanda Palmer's Machete was a pretty good song
	3:43am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @3:41 It is a bit extreme and uncalled for. Even if it is the NY Post.
	3:44am modern blaze: i wanna have sexes alot safe spot
	3:45am LiXiviated Life: “the machete isn't good,” ??? I disagree The machete is essential The whole thing exists because of the machete.

	3:47am Brian D: ↳ fred @3:46 They actually ran one in the London Review of Books recently.

	⚡ 3:51am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @3:41 Morning Brian & all. The machete was all to no avail?
	3:51am Chris Crisco: ↳ LiXiviated Life @3:47 Roger Waters dressing up in full Nazi regalia.
	3:54am devlawn: ↳ Song: "Fam/Famine" by "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" Is Colin Stetson on that track?
	⚡ 3:56am tom tom the pipers son: lost in the supermarket w/ monkeys was evocative
	3:56am fred: ↳ Chris Crisco @3:51 Waters' bids for attention are getting more desperate and pathetic

	4:03am _Ike_: ↳ devlawn @3:45 Ah, the good ol’ days when the links would leak and fly freely on the comments…
	4:03am Brian D: ↳ devlawn @3:54 If so, not credited, dev.

	4:21am LiXiviated Life: I do hate the idea of Kissinger
	4:21am fred: ↳ Paulo AD @4:18 Do you plan to golf while in England? Different conditions there I guess
	⚡ 4:21am Brian in UK: ↳ LiXiviated Life @4:19 Brian played this group earlier. 'And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead'. Might have been inspired by Kissinger.
	4:21am modern blaze: what to be where to go? here is Brian D
	4:22am devlawn: knot very much, thank you
	4:22am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:21 Member of the band now lives in Cambodia, in fact.

	⚡ 4:25am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @4:22 Funny old world; but no body is laughing.

	4:31am fred: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:25 Also keep in mind that Vietnam's relationship with China is fraught with subjugation
	⚡ 4:31am Brian in UK: Almost time for the London Calling fiftieth anniversary reissue. A marketing ploy but why? We have added the 'bonus' tracks & the remix & the remastering & Joe Strummer farting in the bath. What else is there.

	4:40am fred: ↳ Chris Crisco @4:25 Also the split between Cambodia and Thailand is complicated to say the least. Colonial divides, but also very long animosity

	4:42am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:39 Fox's show is AWESOME. I love what she does. A perfect FMU show, in my opinion.
	4:43am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:40 Some of Lawrence Osborne's fiction delves into those issues, Fred.
	⚡ 4:45am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @4:42 Think that it is fair to say that Fox has grown into her show since being full time last Summer. Always enjoy spoken word.

	4:56am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:53 I haven't, the sad condition of public transit here cuts into my reading time. The olympic games will only make that much worse. A slow rolling nightmare
	⚡ 4:59am Heidee: Och so lovely to be instantly greeted by my radio friends 😘 @Paulo, nice thought, are you considering? @Brian, she's grand, thanks! We gave her a bath yesterday and rubbed her in coconut oil after, and she is so fluffy and yummy and soft, I cannot keep my hands and nose off her! ♡

	⚡ 5:03am Heidee: ↳ Brian in UK @5:02 Aww!
	⚡ 5:04am tom tom the pipers son: starting to get light here
	5:06am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:59 Here we have a shortage of bus drivers, so it's a mess. I guess they could try paying them a living wage, but that's dangerous radical thought
	5:06am Paulo AD: ↳ fred @4:08 To be honest, it's not that bad. I've started taking these new tablets called l-theanine and it's changing my life
	⚡ 5:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @5:06 yes
	⚡ 5:08am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @5:06 sounds great, will try out
	5:09am timinoak: Migration to the US is dangerous. Ever increasingly so. There are charities and legal aid groups that need help at the border. Please check out groups in El Paso if you are interested in contributing.
	5:12am fred: ↳ Paulo AD @5:06 Isn't that basically tea? You sound like an addict being from the UK and needing tea supplements. Apologies if Wales isn't into tea
	5:17am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:12 I'm drinking apricot tea. Tastes like pish, as the Scots would say.
	5:17am Brian D: ↳ timinoak @5:09 Indeed. Great groups in NY/NJ as well. Thank you, Timinoak.
	5:18am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:17 Is that Armenian?
	5:19am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:18 No. Which may be the problem.
	5:20am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:19 Armenia has the best apricots
	⚡ 5:22am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @5:19 Tea with bergamot from Turkey stolen by Earl Grey.
	5:23am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:20 Yes. Just like Turkey has the best figs.

	5:24am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:22 Belated hello, by the way.
	5:25am fred: Unrelated, but I bought my first batch of dance tickets for next year. I did balk on a couple that were just too expensive, so only 17. Two more batches to come
	⚡ 5:26am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Brian D @5:23 And a bewildering range of olives. But there's nothing to rival fat Kalamata olives.

	⚡ 5:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "She was Long Gone" by "Kristin Oppenheim" almost sounds a little christmas-y

	⚡ 5:30am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Who Is This I?" by "Brian Harnetty" Not inward and outward, but hidden and disclosed.
	5:31am Brian D: ↳ Paulo AD @5:30 Brighton would be on my list for retirement otherwise, Paulo.
	⚡ 5:31am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @5:30 That's also what my ex-pat Scottish husband is saying...
	5:31am Paulo AD: ↳ fred @5:12 Oh tea is a religion. I actually realise how much tea I drink being back in the office... I get my steps in hahah
	5:32am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:24 Whaaaattttt early grey, hot is one of the best.
	5:32am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:27 That's the only way to get tickets. I waited too long (for other venues to open) and got crappy seating for Lucinda Childs, and missed out another of her show. Getting dance tickets is an adventure, two more batches in the future, June 6th and 21st, I might take a day off to get in, it's that competitive
	5:33am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian D @5:31 We are retiring to the Philippines, wve already looked into it. Going to buy an island haha
	5:34am Paulo AD: ↳ fred @5:32 Gutting, I love lucinda child's. The greatest dance show I ever saw was her and Phillip glass. I was lucky enough to see the last show
	⚡ 5:34am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Paulo AD @5:31 my first time in uk was fascinated by sugar packets with a women's manicure hands holding a cup and saucer of tea... fetish packets
	5:35am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @5:31 Yeah its a shocker. I though Abu Dhabi was expensive and then marks was charging £4 for a can of wine!!
	⚡ 5:35am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @5:17 Going to make a cuppa from organic lavender buds in a minute. Super mood booster.
	5:35am Paulo AD: Yes, I am a classy girl

	5:35am fred: ↳ Paulo AD @5:34 Which one? Dance?
	5:36am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:32 Wow. Had no idea.
	5:37am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @5:35 oooh. may try that, Heidee.
	5:37am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @5:35 Cheers, Heidee.
