WFMU: Currents with Brian D: Playlist from March 23, 2024

Listener comments!
	⚡ 6:02am tom tom the pipers son: good morning brian and people...
	⚡ 6:05am newton: good morning brian
	⚡ 6:07am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian, tom tom, newton!
	⚡ 6:11am Don in Tampere: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme" by "Innes Tartan Band" We used to frequently close the session at the St. HElena hotel in Dublin with a multi-part a cappella version of this!
	6:13am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:11 It is one of my all-time favorites. Good morning, Don, Tom Tom, Newton and all.
	6:15am dday: Currently listening to Anthony Phillips: The Geese & The Ghost. Where's Dave Mandl ;)
	6:19am Chris Crisco: Pissing The Night Away ...
	6:20am Oz: That was wonderful thanks good morning
	6:20am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:19 Ah Chris, I was hoping you'd be listening when I played that clip.
	⚡ 6:21am newton: ↳ Brian D @6:20 I read it last night in the Guardian, so I'm guessing this populist shift there is why Adearn stepped down
	6:22am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & Everyone! I hadn't heard of this until now. Still learning the ropes as far as New Zealand politics but it seems like everyone hates Winston Peters.
	6:23am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:22 Or at least his taste in music.
	6:23am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:21 Might be a chicken/egg thing there.
	⚡ 6:24am newton: its happening too much, people step away from their positions because they are intimidated by the idiot fascists in their party. here we had another R congressperson step down which happily leaves their majority in the house now only 1, but those who remain are the worst, and I worry what will replace them
	⚡ 6:25am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian... a song that rivals wild mountain thyme in its melodicism by sonny and linda sharrock, heard the other night on explorers room...give it a try www.youtube.com...
	⚡ 6:25am newton: obviouslu Adearn was on the other side, didnt mean to imply her party is swinging far right
	6:30am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @6:23 I don't think it was Jacinda's fault. Labour got creamed across the board. I watched the debates before the recent election. They are hilarious compared to what we are used to. But they appear to be unanimous that they hate Winston Peters. Our neighbors did vote for him but.
	⚡ 6:30am tom tom the pipers son: jacinda ardern...;)
	6:32am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:30 Right.
	6:34am Bryan: just got my official username -- hi everyone
	6:34am pgalub: Good morning Brian and everyone.
	6:35am Chris Crisco: Jacinda had put in place a program that would eventually totally ban the sale of cigarettes. First thing National Party did when they took over was to repeal that.
	⚡ 6:36am tom tom the pipers son: and mick sounds like such a sensitive guy
	6:36am Chris Crisco: Flowers is the only mono album I ever bought
	⚡ 6:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:35 these right wing parties are death cults
	6:38am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @6:34 Hello Mr. Galub. Pleasure speaking with you last week.
	6:38am Brian D: ↳ Bryan @6:34 Welcome, Bryan.
	6:38am Brian D: Rachel Corrie: www.democracynow.org...
	6:40am Bryan: Thanks, Brian D -- it's good to be official. I don't see yet how to post a threaded reply.
	⚡ 6:40am tom tom the pipers son: saw patti smith perform at ethical society a long time ago, she had charisma to spare
	⚡ 6:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bryan @6:40 the speech bubble
	6:41am Chris Crisco: Bibi is a butcher but Hamas is worse. Which makes it kind of difficult to find a solution when both sides suck.
	6:43am Audiocarp: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:35 If cigarettes are outlawed, only outlaws will have cigarettes
	6:43am Chuck: I recommend Dulcolax. it gets the job done.
	6:44am Chris Crisco: ↳ Bryan @6:40 The little bubble icon to the right of the comment you want to reply to or to the right of the song title you want to comment on
	6:44am Chris Crisco: ↳ Audiocarp @6:43 Only a good guy with a cigarette can stop a bad guy with a cigarette!
	6:45am Chuck: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:41 I recommend Dulcolax. it gets the job done.
	6:45am Audiocarp: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:44 Cigarettes don’t kill people…
	6:46am Bryan: not seeing any bubbles; I might need to reload something
	6:46am Brian D: Photos of Moises Saman: www.magnumphotos.com...
	6:46am Audiocarp: The little lasso under the time stamp
	6:47am Chris Crisco: ↳ Bryan @6:46 Should be at the right hand side of every comment underneath the time stamp.
	6:47am TDK60: Good morning.
	⚡ 6:48am Don in Tampere: ↳ Song: "Spinning Song" by "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds" Maybe it's because I haven't had enough coffee yet, or had a brownie last night, but when Cave started singing about the bird in the tree and the feather on the bird, I was suddenly reminded of the doggerel song "The Rattlin' Bog"
	6:48am pgalub: ↳ Brian D @6:38 You as well!
	6:48am JimB: I keep associating the people in Rafah with the kids in Uvalde - just waiting for it.
	⚡ 6:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:41 the death count has always been disproportionate to one side, this is not a conflict of equals, so inaccurate to simply make an equivalancy of "evils" on the other hand it is difficult to say if hamas will disappear or change with two state solution
	⚡ 6:51am newton: Frances and I are about to get in the car and drive back to the city in the rain, but will listen on the drive with the FMU app!
	6:51am Chuck: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:50 I recommend Dulcolax. it helps flush out the shit.
	6:53am Chris Crisco: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:50 Hamas won't disappear I think that much is certain.
	⚡ 6:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:50 and also any resolution is not a matter of picking a side
	6:56am Chris Crisco: The only resolution would be for them to find a way to put aside their grievances and move forward. Like in Ireland with The Troubles. I don't see that happening unfortunately.
	6:57am StringOFperils: Good morning! (here, at least. ^ see most of the above...)
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @6:57 Greetings, String.
	⚡ 7:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:56 isn't the israeli/palestinan conflict different though, in that it's in large part about land...?
	7:03am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:56 I recommend Dul... just kidding. One reason this problem seems intractable is that people take one side or the other and remain inflexible.
	7:03am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:02 Both were about the land, or at least who governs it. Really, colonialism is at the root of both.
	⚡ 7:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:03 u huh...
	⚡ 7:04am Don in Tampere: I agree that it's harder to choose a "side" when the leaders of both are awful. But the US is getting its hands very bloody through its unconditional support, even though Netanyahu is clearly ignoring any pleas. I don't know if there is a way to solve the conflict because poles are so hardened. I think almost everyone can agree that a Jewish homeland was urgently needed, but did it have to be a place where innocent people were already living, just because of a 2000 years old prophecy? I was surprised to learn that the legendary Finnish president/quasi-dictator Kekkonen wrote already in the 70s that a better option would have been to take part of Germany, which, even as a (naturalized) German makes sense to me. But, it's too late to turn back that clock. I think an internationaly protected two state solution in the 1948 borders would be reasonable, but I see zero chance that either side would accept it and sincerely work for peace.
	7:04am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @7:03 Yeah that's true but I really don't see any middle ground to move to.
	⚡ 7:06am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and newshounds.
	⚡ 7:07am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Blackstar (Featuring Anna Calvi)" by "Amanda Palm... i think amanda palmer covered black star also
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:07 This is it. Corrected the playlist.
	7:09am Brian D: ↳ Brian D @7:08 The playlist autofilled.
	⚡ 7:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:08 ah....btw, did you see my music recommendation of sonny/linda sharrock's gary's step?
	7:10am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! And hello to all in radioland!
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 I did. Thanks. Can't check it out now, obviously.
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:10 Rich!
	7:12am Chris Crisco: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:02 You could go back to 1948 and before and certainly there were Zionist terrorist groups that were instrumental in driving Palestinians away. So if you want to argue that Israel has no right to exist on that basis it's hard to argue otherwise. But then again so was The Good Old USA stolen from Native Americans. As was New Zealand from the Maoris.
	7:15am Bryan: True, Chris Crisco; it's impossible to right every past wrong. All we can do is try to do the best we can for those alive now, and future generations.
	7:15am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Stilled Shadow" by "Eve Egoyan + Mauricio Puly" Huh. She's my old piano teacher...quite some time ago.
	7:16am morphe': Attuned ...
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @7:15 Wow. Beautiful record.
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:16 Morphe!
	7:18am StringOFperils: She likes to take on the difficult exploratory stuff. I'm (now, as then) simply a duffer.
	7:18am Chris Crisco: ↳ Bryan @7:15 True but some won't let go. Rightly or wrongly.
	7:18am London Calling Francky: Morning Brian and Currentists, from reasonably spring-like London Town! Hope everyone is having a good start to their weekend :-)
	7:18am TDK60: ↳ Bryan @7:15 Good morning Bryan. In my opinion, the "best" for now is an immediate permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
	⚡ 7:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Chris Crisco @7:12 i'm thinking in a pretty open ended way so i wasn't saying israel doesn't have a right to exist. but zionism' "terror" or total denial of palestinian rights was not located in groups but central to it's pla
	⚡ 7:20am tom tom the pipers son: plan
	7:21am morphe': Sadly Edward Said is dead and Hanan Ashrawi was/is ignored ... what seemed like possibilities in the late 70s early 80s = one truly democratic state or the "2 state" solution = seem completely improbable ...
	7:21am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.
	7:21am TDK60: Wings of Desire is a good, odd movie, Bryan. Since you're "on a kick," it'll be good to hear more Crime and the City Solution...hee.
	7:21am StringOFperils: Wings of Desire: Some great vintage footage of both those bands mentioned. And of Peter Falk just being himself.
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ morphe' @7:21 agree
	7:22am Krys O.: Good morning!
	7:24am radioronan: Good morning Brian & all!
	7:25am dday: ↳ Song: "Peaceable Kingdom" by "Patti Smith" There's an Animal Hospital our local Humane Society uses located in Ephrata, PA called Peaceable Kingdom:https://pkahvet.com/
	7:26am Brian D: Meant to mention, we're looking at photos by photojournalist Sabiha Cimen: www.magnumphotos.com...
	7:26am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning!
	⚡ 7:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dday @7:25 based on the folk painting by edward hicks
	7:27am StringOFperils: That image seems to present adequate protection from a snowball fight. A reflection of the impossible optimism in play I guess.
	7:27am Brian D: Krys! Buddha! Ronan!
	7:27am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone tuned in...
	7:28am dday: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:26 Dad update ?
	7:28am Brian D: Oh, good morning Cooh and TDK.
	7:28am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:21 Be careful what you wish for. I could play them every week.
	7:29am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:27 Greetings Strand.
	⚡ 7:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @7:27 the image looks like a schizo combination of periods/styles.....classicism (building) and industrial minimalist sculpture "protecting" it
	7:31am Buddha of Suburbia: Hey Brian D! Morning TDK60! dday, my dad is recuperating at the hospital. The doctors think he has a little infection. I will be seeing him today. Getting ready as we speak. Thanks for asking.
	7:31am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	7:33am StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:30 Mythology hiding behind a curtain. Nothing back there but a fake wizard.
	7:33am TDK60: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:31 Good morning, Buddha. Find strength for the visit with your dad..
	7:33am Reagan NY ZEN RN: Good morning BUddhariffic. wishing wellness and a huge batch of fresh pixie for you and your dad and your family. XOXOXO
	⚡ 7:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @7:33 haha....
	7:34am Reagan NY ZEN RN: Good morning Brian D. Good morning everyone!
	7:35am Buddha of Suburbia: Thanks TDK60! Thank you Reagan! You are always so kind and generous with your words of encouragement. I really hope we meet one of these days.
	⚡ 7:36am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Good morning Brian! Good morning Everyone! Checking in from the very wet dog park. We are all wearing our raincoats but as Cooper reminded me, "this ball ain't gonna chase itself"
	7:36am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:35 I am looking forward to meeting you. It surely will happen. Be well dear one
	7:36am Strandlund: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:31 Sending Pixie your Dad's way, Buddha...wishing him well!!
	⚡ 7:36am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Clip: CBS-Mississippi Goon Squad officers convict... the goons cried in court begging for mercy
	⚡ 7:37am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Good to see you Buddha! Hi Reagan, Hey TDK 60 and Tom Tom and Strandlund! Wow a lot of familiar faces in here today
	7:37am fred: ↳ Song: "Clip: CBS-Mississippi Goon Squad officers convict... Good ol' Mississippi Goddam...
	7:38am Reagan NY ZEN RN: Good morning NARD. Shake it off and throw the ball!!
	7:38am Buddha of Suburbia: Thanks Strandlund! Reagan!! That would be a delight! My dad would appreciate this tune. He’s from France.
	⚡ 7:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:37 how true
	⚡ 7:38am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:35 Love to your dad, Buddha, hope he's doing better today, maybe some good old fashion swallowing!
	7:39am Buddha of Suburbia: Hey NotaRealDoctor! How did your husband like his birthday cake?
	7:39am Reagan NY ZEN RN: Good morning dday. A day of rest? Sending love
	7:40am morphe': Pixie for yer Da Buddha !!!
	⚡ 7:40am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:56 It might be generations b4 Israel and Palestinians get to a spot where they can get beyond their grievances. As for Hamas, if they get obliterated, some other extreme group will pop up to replace them.
	7:42am Buddha of Suburbia: Thanks Morphe! Thanks NotaRealDoctor! Gotta get going. Bye friends!! Bye Brian!
	⚡ 7:42am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:39 Omigoodness long story but we haven't even tried it yet. The short version is his mother texted me that she had bought a frozen lasagna and coconut cream pie (her favorites) for his birthday dinner and he said just to save the stuff I was doing for today because he didn't want to hurt her feelings.
	⚡ 7:44am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:42 Auf wiedersehn Buddha! Hope everything goes great today!
	⚡ 7:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:40 it's more than hamas that's getting obliterated, although that's not clear it's a race of people that's getting obliterated generationally
	7:44am Buddha of Suburbia: NotaRealDoctor!!! I love how she got her favorites for his birthday. Funny!
	⚡ 7:45am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:44 It's very frustrating she's always doing things like this.
	7:45am StringOFperils: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:40 I don't foresee the Arabs and the Jews ever meeting amicably half way. The 6 odd thousand year old dictum that a god gifted the Jews with that land, in perpetuity, negates all worldly discussion. If I showed up in the heart of London, armed to the teeth, claiming that land for my people, In in the name of Bodicea, it would be a similarly weird conversation.
	7:46am Strandlund: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:37 Hope you day is a good one, NotARealDoctor!!
	7:47am Nina: Your show is really good. And thanks for playing Kim. Black napkin indeed.
	7:48am Brian D: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:42 Sending good vibes, Buddha.
	7:49am Brian D: ↳ Nina @7:47 Thank you, Nina.
	7:51am dday: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @7:39 Skating Away on the thin ice of the new day. Mid-back is screaming at me this morning...becuase..well it just does what it wants when it wants to. And you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5D9HZyYI6g
	7:51am morphe': Out ... Tahnks BD and all !!!
	7:53am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @7:51 See you, morphe''...
	⚡ 7:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @7:45 weird conversation, but you might get some tea and cucumber sandwiches (no crust) out of it...
	7:53am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:51 Cheers Morphe.
	7:56am StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 More like the bum's rush onto a plane heading for Rwanda
	7:58am fred: ↳ StringOFperils @7:56 Maybe try claiming Trump Tower in the name of the Lenape instead (but quick, unless a DA gets there first)
	7:58am John from FP: hello fellow eventers
	⚡ 7:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @7:56 afraid you're right, but bum's rush with a cucumber
	⚡ 7:59am Michael of Cologne: Good arvo Brian, Tom Tom, Don, et al. My Saturdsys are always much too busy. So late to the party.
	8:00am StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:59 Beaten to within an inch of my life by Special Forces guys. With a cucumber.
	8:00am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ dday @7:51 Sorry to hear about your back I hope you have some tricks up your sleeves to relieve the pain. and me, rather not say
	8:01am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:59 Hello Michael!
	⚡ 8:01am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ StringOFperils @7:45 Yeah... I don't see a solution myself.
	8:01am dday: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @8:00 Time & tylenol. Drop me an email..rather than rather not ;)
	8:01am Bryan: Hm, this is my kind of music.
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @8:00 cucumbers leave no marks
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:59 hello michael...
	⚡ 8:02am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:01 Well we could stop sending money and guns from the US to Israel that would be a good first step
	8:03am dday: ↳ StringOFperils @8:00 If humans were only so creative in things of a peaceful nature
	8:03am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ dday @8:01 I am a big fan of internal and external arnica
	8:04am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ dday @8:03 Good GAWD. imagine!! Peace please!
	8:04am dday: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @8:02 While simultaneously asking them to stop the killing. Amazing how WE (most people) see the contradiction in that, while govt. refuses to
	8:04am TDK60: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:01 Good morning Peter. Some of us here seem to be talking about long-term solutions. But we need immediate ones. Like, in my opinion, funding UNRWA again and halting weapons shipments from the USA.
	8:04am fred: ↳ dday @8:03 Many are (I can recommend a radio station) but they tend not to get in power
	8:05am dday: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @8:03 Since I'm on multiple meds I don't like to cloud the waters with supplements
	8:05am John from FP: dday morning reagan morning NARD morning
	8:06am dday: ↳ fred @8:04 Of course..it's a generalization on my part
	⚡ 8:06am Heidee: Hi Brian, Thank you so much for your kind words at Carol's last Sunday.
	8:06am StringOFperils: ↳ fred @7:58 Growing impatient for the Grand Guignol of Dr. Mabuse's arrest when he outright refuses to pony up the nearly 500 million USD bond money, and has to be physically dragged out of the first piece of real estate to be liquidated. There'll be a mob or three and a great show of distorted symbolism. The days are ticking off....maybe this Truth Social IPO will save that snake's skin for another day, but we shall see.
	8:07am dday: ↳ John from FP @8:05 Hey Hey My My
	8:07am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ John from FP @8:05 Good morning John from FP
	⚡ 8:07am Heidee: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:07 Hi Don !!
	8:07am John from FP: ↳ Heidee @8:06 heidee hello @dday rock and roll can never die
	⚡ 8:08am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ TDK60 @8:04 Hi TDK60. I haven't followed the whole discussion. I do agree with you.
	⚡ 8:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @8:06 some media merger transpired that might fund him
	8:09am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Wasted Life" by "Stiff Little Fingers" S.L.F.! Now I'm awake.
	8:11am StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:08 I believe it intends to. To those involved it's a small price to pay for the United States of America.
	8:11am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:08 Not right away: he cannot sell his shares or use them as collateral for a loan for 6 months, as part of the deal
	8:11am dday: ↳ StringOFperils @8:06 A Tom Waits favorite ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPOaicwzq4A
	⚡ 8:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:11 ah....thx
	8:12am dday: ↳ fred @8:11 and in march the lawyers
	8:12am StringOFperils: ↳ dday @8:11 It's a real footstomper.
	⚡ 8:13am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: okay leaving the shelter at the park heading to Mom and Dad's for breakfast and a towel see y'all later!
	⚡ 8:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @8:11 in the interest of control of wealth
	8:13am John from FP: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @8:13 bring a small boat
	8:14am Fredericks: ↳ dday @7:51 Is ice any help? It works wonders for me some times.
	8:15am dday: Sure is :)
	⚡ 8:18am Heidee: ↳ John from FP @8:07 Hey there, John! 👋
	8:18am dday: ↳ Fredericks @8:14 I'll do the ice or heat & stretch. i believe the root of the problem is actually blood flow to my spine. I have a total of 12 herniated discs (maybe more since my last scan in 2012). I notice when my pulse rate drops, my BP spikes & pain increases. I have yet to convince a med. professional of my theory but I've kept records going back 15 years & they're pretty consistent. Thanks
	⚡ 8:19am Don in Tampere: Got to head off and do some shopping. Hope to see a few of you in 3 weeks in NY!
	8:20am StringOFperils: ↳ fred @8:11 Except for the fact that ALL of his deals are bullshit. He'll renege on anything and anyone, and the legal system itself is in his cross-hairs because, along with everything else, it has to die under his boot. At any rate, the initial public offering of Truth Social on the stock market is transparently more of a personal cash float, in that it will constitute a kind of security that can be traded against monies provided to him by all and any interested parties, to buoy up his 'cause' long enough to secure the White House....at which point their position will be that we are fucked
	⚡ 8:20am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Emergency" by "Wilderness" Ai-uh-luhnd❣️🇮🇪🍻
	⚡ 8:20am tom tom the pipers son: bye don... have a good one
	8:20am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @8:19 Good day, Don!
	8:21am Toothgrinder Tom: @StringIfPerils 8:06 the prospect of that happening has me watering at the mouth!
	⚡ 8:21am Heidee: Bye Don!
	8:21am StringOFperils: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @8:21 Orange is the new Orange
	8:24am Fredericks: ↳ dday @8:18 That's an interesting theory. Ice and heat could affect the blood flow to a degree. I just think ice for nerve pain and heat for muscle pain.
	8:25am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Unreal" by "Cardinals" This was very enjoyable
	⚡ 8:26am Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Brian D and all, been listening for a while this morning
	⚡ 8:26am herb.nyc: Hola. Tuned in 45ish mins ago and scrolled thru comments and photos. Thx for the news and funnies. 2 quikkies- nypd top brass are in trouble now, power and sex charges. Ex cop mayor Eric “Putin” seems ok w them. They’re all probably fascinated by Mississippi Goon Squad.
	8:27am John from FP: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:26 howdy will
	⚡ 8:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @8:20 otoh it's amazing that one person has the potential to do that much damage, but the problem goes beyond him, it's a symptom
	⚡ 8:27am herb.nyc: And I saw a pic of wim wenders wife at an Oscar party. She wore a dress made w vhs tape, and it looked like a furry lamb. Cool. She held a clutch purse made from vhs shell.
	⚡ 8:29am herb.nyc: And thirdly, yr welcome, Brian, for me / us pledging to wfmu. Thank YOU and wfmu for doing and being. (& fourthly, I heard jagjaguwar mentioned. And okkervil river on tour soon, w antlers. I miss OR and singer will sheff)
	8:29am John from FP: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:27 tom tom there are some people who want to burn it all down, and become for a lack of a better word a lord of the flies type of society

	8:46am StringOFperils: Bombastic loud and skwonky, just like Bob.
	⚡ 8:46am tom tom the pipers son: i get a funny feeling from karen o, i find her glamour kind of fascistic, like 80's movie mephisto
	8:48am London Calling Francky: Oh yes, I'll take that Strummer track right now as I am zooming down by train to the East End of London Town! Perfect timing! Thank you Brian!

Listener comments!
	⚡ 6:02am tom tom the pipers son: good morning brian and people...
	⚡ 6:05am newton: good morning brian
	⚡ 6:07am Don in Tampere: Hi Brian, tom tom, newton!
	⚡ 6:11am Don in Tampere: ↳ Song: "Wild Mountain Thyme" by "Innes Tartan Band" We used to frequently close the session at the St. HElena hotel in Dublin with a multi-part a cappella version of this!
	6:13am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:11 It is one of my all-time favorites. Good morning, Don, Tom Tom, Newton and all.
	6:15am dday: Currently listening to Anthony Phillips: The Geese & The Ghost. Where's Dave Mandl ;)
	6:19am Chris Crisco: Pissing The Night Away ...
	6:20am Oz: That was wonderful thanks good morning
	6:20am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:19 Ah Chris, I was hoping you'd be listening when I played that clip.
	⚡ 6:21am newton: ↳ Brian D @6:20 I read it last night in the Guardian, so I'm guessing this populist shift there is why Adearn stepped down
	6:22am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & Everyone! I hadn't heard of this until now. Still learning the ropes as far as New Zealand politics but it seems like everyone hates Winston Peters.
	6:23am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:22 Or at least his taste in music.
	6:23am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:21 Might be a chicken/egg thing there.
	⚡ 6:24am newton: its happening too much, people step away from their positions because they are intimidated by the idiot fascists in their party. here we had another R congressperson step down which happily leaves their majority in the house now only 1, but those who remain are the worst, and I worry what will replace them
	⚡ 6:25am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian... a song that rivals wild mountain thyme in its melodicism by sonny and linda sharrock, heard the other night on explorers room...give it a try www.youtube.com...
	⚡ 6:25am newton: obviouslu Adearn was on the other side, didnt mean to imply her party is swinging far right
	6:30am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @6:23 I don't think it was Jacinda's fault. Labour got creamed across the board. I watched the debates before the recent election. They are hilarious compared to what we are used to. But they appear to be unanimous that they hate Winston Peters. Our neighbors did vote for him but.
	⚡ 6:30am tom tom the pipers son: jacinda ardern...;)
	6:32am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:30 Right.
	6:34am Bryan: just got my official username -- hi everyone
	6:34am pgalub: Good morning Brian and everyone.
	6:35am Chris Crisco: Jacinda had put in place a program that would eventually totally ban the sale of cigarettes. First thing National Party did when they took over was to repeal that.
	⚡ 6:36am tom tom the pipers son: and mick sounds like such a sensitive guy
	6:36am Chris Crisco: Flowers is the only mono album I ever bought
	⚡ 6:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:35 these right wing parties are death cults
	6:38am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @6:34 Hello Mr. Galub. Pleasure speaking with you last week.
	6:38am Brian D: ↳ Bryan @6:34 Welcome, Bryan.
	6:38am Brian D: Rachel Corrie: www.democracynow.org...
	6:40am Bryan: Thanks, Brian D -- it's good to be official. I don't see yet how to post a threaded reply.
	⚡ 6:40am tom tom the pipers son: saw patti smith perform at ethical society a long time ago, she had charisma to spare
	⚡ 6:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Bryan @6:40 the speech bubble
	6:41am Chris Crisco: Bibi is a butcher but Hamas is worse. Which makes it kind of difficult to find a solution when both sides suck.
	6:43am Audiocarp: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:35 If cigarettes are outlawed, only outlaws will have cigarettes
	6:43am Chuck: I recommend Dulcolax. it gets the job done.
	6:44am Chris Crisco: ↳ Bryan @6:40 The little bubble icon to the right of the comment you want to reply to or to the right of the song title you want to comment on
	6:44am Chris Crisco: ↳ Audiocarp @6:43 Only a good guy with a cigarette can stop a bad guy with a cigarette!
	6:45am Chuck: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:41 I recommend Dulcolax. it gets the job done.
	6:45am Audiocarp: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:44 Cigarettes don’t kill people…
	6:46am Bryan: not seeing any bubbles; I might need to reload something
	6:46am Brian D: Photos of Moises Saman: www.magnumphotos.com...
	6:46am Audiocarp: The little lasso under the time stamp
	6:47am Chris Crisco: ↳ Bryan @6:46 Should be at the right hand side of every comment underneath the time stamp.
	6:47am TDK60: Good morning.
	⚡ 6:48am Don in Tampere: ↳ Song: "Spinning Song" by "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds" Maybe it's because I haven't had enough coffee yet, or had a brownie last night, but when Cave started singing about the bird in the tree and the feather on the bird, I was suddenly reminded of the doggerel song "The Rattlin' Bog"
	6:48am pgalub: ↳ Brian D @6:38 You as well!
	6:48am JimB: I keep associating the people in Rafah with the kids in Uvalde - just waiting for it.
	⚡ 6:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:41 the death count has always been disproportionate to one side, this is not a conflict of equals, so inaccurate to simply make an equivalancy of "evils" on the other hand it is difficult to say if hamas will disappear or change with two state solution
	⚡ 6:51am newton: Frances and I are about to get in the car and drive back to the city in the rain, but will listen on the drive with the FMU app!
	6:51am Chuck: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:50 I recommend Dulcolax. it helps flush out the shit.
	6:53am Chris Crisco: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:50 Hamas won't disappear I think that much is certain.
	⚡ 6:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:50 and also any resolution is not a matter of picking a side
	6:56am Chris Crisco: The only resolution would be for them to find a way to put aside their grievances and move forward. Like in Ireland with The Troubles. I don't see that happening unfortunately.
	6:57am StringOFperils: Good morning! (here, at least. ^ see most of the above...)
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @6:57 Greetings, String.
	⚡ 7:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:56 isn't the israeli/palestinan conflict different though, in that it's in large part about land...?
	7:03am Brian D: ↳ Chris Crisco @6:56 I recommend Dul... just kidding. One reason this problem seems intractable is that people take one side or the other and remain inflexible.
	7:03am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:02 Both were about the land, or at least who governs it. Really, colonialism is at the root of both.
	⚡ 7:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:03 u huh...
	⚡ 7:04am Don in Tampere: I agree that it's harder to choose a "side" when the leaders of both are awful. But the US is getting its hands very bloody through its unconditional support, even though Netanyahu is clearly ignoring any pleas. I don't know if there is a way to solve the conflict because poles are so hardened. I think almost everyone can agree that a Jewish homeland was urgently needed, but did it have to be a place where innocent people were already living, just because of a 2000 years old prophecy? I was surprised to learn that the legendary Finnish president/quasi-dictator Kekkonen wrote already in the 70s that a better option would have been to take part of Germany, which, even as a (naturalized) German makes sense to me. But, it's too late to turn back that clock. I think an internationaly protected two state solution in the 1948 borders would be reasonable, but I see zero chance that either side would accept it and sincerely work for peace.
	7:04am Chris Crisco: ↳ Brian D @7:03 Yeah that's true but I really don't see any middle ground to move to.
	⚡ 7:06am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and newshounds.
	⚡ 7:07am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Blackstar (Featuring Anna Calvi)" by "Amanda Palm... i think amanda palmer covered black star also
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:07 This is it. Corrected the playlist.
	7:09am Brian D: ↳ Brian D @7:08 The playlist autofilled.
	⚡ 7:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:08 ah....btw, did you see my music recommendation of sonny/linda sharrock's gary's step?
	7:10am rich in angleton: good morning Brian! And hello to all in radioland!
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:10 I did. Thanks. Can't check it out now, obviously.
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:10 Rich!
	7:12am Chris Crisco: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:02 You could go back to 1948 and before and certainly there were Zionist terrorist groups that were instrumental in driving Palestinians away. So if you want to argue that Israel has no right to exist on that basis it's hard to argue otherwise. But then again so was The Good Old USA stolen from Native Americans. As was New Zealand from the Maoris.
	7:15am Bryan: True, Chris Crisco; it's impossible to right every past wrong. All we can do is try to do the best we can for those alive now, and future generations.
	7:15am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "Stilled Shadow" by "Eve Egoyan + Mauricio Puly" Huh. She's my old piano teacher...quite some time ago.
	7:16am morphe': Attuned ...
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @7:15 Wow. Beautiful record.
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:16 Morphe!
	7:18am StringOFperils: She likes to take on the difficult exploratory stuff. I'm (now, as then) simply a duffer.
	7:18am Chris Crisco: ↳ Bryan @7:15 True but some won't let go. Rightly or wrongly.
	7:18am London Calling Francky: Morning Brian and Currentists, from reasonably spring-like London Town! Hope everyone is having a good start to their weekend :-)
	7:18am TDK60: ↳ Bryan @7:15 Good morning Bryan. In my opinion, the "best" for now is an immediate permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
	⚡ 7:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Chris Crisco @7:12 i'm thinking in a pretty open ended way so i wasn't saying israel doesn't have a right to exist. but zionism' "terror" or total denial of palestinian rights was not located in groups but central to it's pla
	⚡ 7:20am tom tom the pipers son: plan
	7:21am morphe': Sadly Edward Said is dead and Hanan Ashrawi was/is ignored ... what seemed like possibilities in the late 70s early 80s = one truly democratic state or the "2 state" solution = seem completely improbable ...
	7:21am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.
	7:21am TDK60: Wings of Desire is a good, odd movie, Bryan. Since you're "on a kick," it'll be good to hear more Crime and the City Solution...hee.
	7:21am StringOFperils: Wings of Desire: Some great vintage footage of both those bands mentioned. And of Peter Falk just being himself.
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ morphe' @7:21 agree
	7:22am Krys O.: Good morning!
	7:24am radioronan: Good morning Brian & all!
	7:25am dday: ↳ Song: "Peaceable Kingdom" by "Patti Smith" There's an Animal Hospital our local Humane Society uses located in Ephrata, PA called Peaceable Kingdom:https://pkahvet.com/
	7:26am Brian D: Meant to mention, we're looking at photos by photojournalist Sabiha Cimen: www.magnumphotos.com...
	7:26am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning!
	⚡ 7:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dday @7:25 based on the folk painting by edward hicks
	7:27am StringOFperils: That image seems to present adequate protection from a snowball fight. A reflection of the impossible optimism in play I guess.
	7:27am Brian D: Krys! Buddha! Ronan!
	7:27am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone tuned in...
	7:28am dday: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:26 Dad update ?
	7:28am Brian D: Oh, good morning Cooh and TDK.
	7:28am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:21 Be careful what you wish for. I could play them every week.
	7:29am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:27 Greetings Strand.
	⚡ 7:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @7:27 the image looks like a schizo combination of periods/styles.....classicism (building) and industrial minimalist sculpture "protecting" it

	7:42am Buddha of Suburbia: Thanks Morphe! Thanks NotaRealDoctor! Gotta get going. Bye friends!! Bye Brian!
	⚡ 7:42am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:39 Omigoodness long story but we haven't even tried it yet. The short version is his mother texted me that she had bought a frozen lasagna and coconut cream pie (her favorites) for his birthday dinner and he said just to save the stuff I was doing for today because he didn't want to hurt her feelings.
	⚡ 7:44am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:42 Auf wiedersehn Buddha! Hope everything goes great today!
	⚡ 7:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:40 it's more than hamas that's getting obliterated, although that's not clear it's a race of people that's getting obliterated generationally
	7:44am Buddha of Suburbia: NotaRealDoctor!!! I love how she got her favorites for his birthday. Funny!
	⚡ 7:45am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:44 It's very frustrating she's always doing things like this.
	7:45am StringOFperils: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:40 I don't foresee the Arabs and the Jews ever meeting amicably half way. The 6 odd thousand year old dictum that a god gifted the Jews with that land, in perpetuity, negates all worldly discussion. If I showed up in the heart of London, armed to the teeth, claiming that land for my people, In in the name of Bodicea, it would be a similarly weird conversation.
	7:46am Strandlund: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:37 Hope you day is a good one, NotARealDoctor!!
	7:47am Nina: Your show is really good. And thanks for playing Kim. Black napkin indeed.
	7:48am Brian D: ↳ Buddha of Suburbia @7:42 Sending good vibes, Buddha.
	7:49am Brian D: ↳ Nina @7:47 Thank you, Nina.
	7:51am dday: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @7:39 Skating Away on the thin ice of the new day. Mid-back is screaming at me this morning...becuase..well it just does what it wants when it wants to. And you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5D9HZyYI6g
	7:51am morphe': Out ... Tahnks BD and all !!!
	7:53am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @7:51 See you, morphe''...
	⚡ 7:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @7:45 weird conversation, but you might get some tea and cucumber sandwiches (no crust) out of it...
	7:53am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:51 Cheers Morphe.
	7:56am StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 More like the bum's rush onto a plane heading for Rwanda
	7:58am fred: ↳ StringOFperils @7:56 Maybe try claiming Trump Tower in the name of the Lenape instead (but quick, unless a DA gets there first)
	7:58am John from FP: hello fellow eventers
	⚡ 7:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @7:56 afraid you're right, but bum's rush with a cucumber
	⚡ 7:59am Michael of Cologne: Good arvo Brian, Tom Tom, Don, et al. My Saturdsys are always much too busy. So late to the party.
	8:00am StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:59 Beaten to within an inch of my life by Special Forces guys. With a cucumber.
	8:00am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ dday @7:51 Sorry to hear about your back I hope you have some tricks up your sleeves to relieve the pain. and me, rather not say
	8:01am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:59 Hello Michael!
	⚡ 8:01am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ StringOFperils @7:45 Yeah... I don't see a solution myself.
	8:01am dday: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @8:00 Time & tylenol. Drop me an email..rather than rather not ;)
	8:01am Bryan: Hm, this is my kind of music.
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @8:00 cucumbers leave no marks
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:59 hello michael...
	⚡ 8:02am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:01 Well we could stop sending money and guns from the US to Israel that would be a good first step
	8:03am dday: ↳ StringOFperils @8:00 If humans were only so creative in things of a peaceful nature
	8:03am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ dday @8:01 I am a big fan of internal and external arnica
	8:04am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ dday @8:03 Good GAWD. imagine!! Peace please!
	8:04am dday: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @8:02 While simultaneously asking them to stop the killing. Amazing how WE (most people) see the contradiction in that, while govt. refuses to
	8:04am TDK60: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:01 Good morning Peter. Some of us here seem to be talking about long-term solutions. But we need immediate ones. Like, in my opinion, funding UNRWA again and halting weapons shipments from the USA.
	8:04am fred: ↳ dday @8:03 Many are (I can recommend a radio station) but they tend not to get in power
	8:05am dday: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @8:03 Since I'm on multiple meds I don't like to cloud the waters with supplements
	8:05am John from FP: dday morning reagan morning NARD morning
	8:06am dday: ↳ fred @8:04 Of course..it's a generalization on my part
	⚡ 8:06am Heidee: Hi Brian, Thank you so much for your kind words at Carol's last Sunday.
	8:06am StringOFperils: ↳ fred @7:58 Growing impatient for the Grand Guignol of Dr. Mabuse's arrest when he outright refuses to pony up the nearly 500 million USD bond money, and has to be physically dragged out of the first piece of real estate to be liquidated. There'll be a mob or three and a great show of distorted symbolism. The days are ticking off....maybe this Truth Social IPO will save that snake's skin for another day, but we shall see.
	8:07am dday: ↳ John from FP @8:05 Hey Hey My My
	8:07am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ John from FP @8:05 Good morning John from FP
	⚡ 8:07am Heidee: ↳ Don in Tampere @6:07 Hi Don !!
	8:07am John from FP: ↳ Heidee @8:06 heidee hello @dday rock and roll can never die
	⚡ 8:08am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ TDK60 @8:04 Hi TDK60. I haven't followed the whole discussion. I do agree with you.
	⚡ 8:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @8:06 some media merger transpired that might fund him
	8:09am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Wasted Life" by "Stiff Little Fingers" S.L.F.! Now I'm awake.
	8:11am StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:08 I believe it intends to. To those involved it's a small price to pay for the United States of America.
	8:11am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:08 Not right away: he cannot sell his shares or use them as collateral for a loan for 6 months, as part of the deal
	8:11am dday: ↳ StringOFperils @8:06 A Tom Waits favorite ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPOaicwzq4A
	⚡ 8:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:11 ah....thx
	8:12am dday: ↳ fred @8:11 and in march the lawyers
	8:12am StringOFperils: ↳ dday @8:11 It's a real footstomper.
	⚡ 8:13am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: okay leaving the shelter at the park heading to Mom and Dad's for breakfast and a towel see y'all later!
	⚡ 8:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @8:11 in the interest of control of wealth
	8:13am John from FP: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @8:13 bring a small boat
	8:14am Fredericks: ↳ dday @7:51 Is ice any help? It works wonders for me some times.
	8:15am dday: Sure is :)
	⚡ 8:18am Heidee: ↳ John from FP @8:07 Hey there, John! 👋
	8:18am dday: ↳ Fredericks @8:14 I'll do the ice or heat & stretch. i believe the root of the problem is actually blood flow to my spine. I have a total of 12 herniated discs (maybe more since my last scan in 2012). I notice when my pulse rate drops, my BP spikes & pain increases. I have yet to convince a med. professional of my theory but I've kept records going back 15 years & they're pretty consistent. Thanks
	⚡ 8:19am Don in Tampere: Got to head off and do some shopping. Hope to see a few of you in 3 weeks in NY!
	8:20am StringOFperils: ↳ fred @8:11 Except for the fact that ALL of his deals are bullshit. He'll renege on anything and anyone, and the legal system itself is in his cross-hairs because, along with everything else, it has to die under his boot. At any rate, the initial public offering of Truth Social on the stock market is transparently more of a personal cash float, in that it will constitute a kind of security that can be traded against monies provided to him by all and any interested parties, to buoy up his 'cause' long enough to secure the White House....at which point their position will be that we are fucked
	⚡ 8:20am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Emergency" by "Wilderness" Ai-uh-luhnd❣️🇮🇪🍻
	⚡ 8:20am tom tom the pipers son: bye don... have a good one
	8:20am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @8:19 Good day, Don!
	8:21am Toothgrinder Tom: @StringIfPerils 8:06 the prospect of that happening has me watering at the mouth!
	⚡ 8:21am Heidee: Bye Don!
	8:21am StringOFperils: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @8:21 Orange is the new Orange
	8:24am Fredericks: ↳ dday @8:18 That's an interesting theory. Ice and heat could affect the blood flow to a degree. I just think ice for nerve pain and heat for muscle pain.
	8:25am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Unreal" by "Cardinals" This was very enjoyable
	⚡ 8:26am Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Brian D and all, been listening for a while this morning
	⚡ 8:26am herb.nyc: Hola. Tuned in 45ish mins ago and scrolled thru comments and photos. Thx for the news and funnies. 2 quikkies- nypd top brass are in trouble now, power and sex charges. Ex cop mayor Eric “Putin” seems ok w them. They’re all probably fascinated by Mississippi Goon Squad.
	8:27am John from FP: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:26 howdy will
	⚡ 8:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @8:20 otoh it's amazing that one person has the potential to do that much damage, but the problem goes beyond him, it's a symptom
	⚡ 8:27am herb.nyc: And I saw a pic of wim wenders wife at an Oscar party. She wore a dress made w vhs tape, and it looked like a furry lamb. Cool. She held a clutch purse made from vhs shell.
	⚡ 8:29am herb.nyc: And thirdly, yr welcome, Brian, for me / us pledging to wfmu. Thank YOU and wfmu for doing and being. (& fourthly, I heard jagjaguwar mentioned. And okkervil river on tour soon, w antlers. I miss OR and singer will sheff)
	8:29am John from FP: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:27 tom tom there are some people who want to burn it all down, and become for a lack of a better word a lord of the flies type of society
	⚡ 8:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ herb.nyc @8:27 once made a hat out of a coiled garden hose for a community garden party
	8:30am egould: Listen buster!
	8:30am Strandlund: ↳ Song: "One Step Beyond..." by "Madness" Always nice to hear this!! Thanks Brian!!
	8:31am StringOFperils: Skanktastic
	⚡ 8:31am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Banana Republic" by "Boomtown Rats" Never heard this song. Nice. (Dumb question- is the banana republic store still around?)
	8:31am PKNY: ↳ Song: "One Step Beyond..." by "Madness" One of the all-time music great videos!
	8:31am London Calling Francky: Doing the nutty dance in my kitchen!
	⚡ 8:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ John from FP @8:29 was thinking its more a symptom of a certain type of individualism and a lack of collectivism
	8:33am StringOFperils: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:32 Core tribalism. Magic. Power and taboos. Ritual chanting. The sharpening of blades.
	⚡ 8:34am tom tom the pipers son: it is a funny type of banana republic ironically
	8:34am fred: ↳ Song: "What Difference Does It Make?" by "The Smiths" The Smiths always remind me of a high school friend who played rugby and became a physical therapist, before ending up in a wheelchair in his twenties from a degenerative neural disorder
	8:35am Will: Come up and see me, make me smile. (Remembering Steve Harley.)
	8:35am fred: ↳ fred @8:34 (he was a huge Smiths fan, introduced me to them)
	8:36am John from FP: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:32 i got mine and fuck everyone else?
	⚡ 8:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @8:33 yes it does feel like all those things, but isn't it a perverted american cliche of the self made man run amok
	8:37am StringOFperils: 'Manifest Destiny', baby.
	⚡ 8:38am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "What Difference Does It Make?" by "The Smiths" Joe Pernice wrote MEAT IS MURDER novella for 33 1/3, so many yrs ago. And it’s vg. And he comes to nyc on April 3,4. At le poisson rouge, rough trade store, new record is out April 4. Store event be free. Plz attend
	⚡ 8:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ John from FP @8:36 yes, that's one thing
	⚡ 8:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @8:37 yes...
	8:39am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Choices" by "Soda Blonde" Oh yeah, those are some of the Irish bands. (Soda B. thru Mick F. - you said Bryan?) that canceled shows at South by Southwest.
	8:43am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @8:39 Correct. 5 points to TDK.
	8:43am PKNY: ↳ PKNY @8:31 Had to hop away for a few minutes to watch --> www.youtube.com...
	⚡ 8:44am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Immigrant Song" by "Karen O with Trent Reznor and... Excellent choice! Love Karen O, and Reznor and Ross's movie soundtrack are always inspiring.
	8:45am Bryan: Karen O's voice/style are just right for this song
	8:46am StringOFperils: Bombastic loud and skwonky, just like Bob.
	⚡ 8:46am tom tom the pipers son: i get a funny feeling from karen o, i find her glamour kind of fascistic, like 80's movie mephisto
	8:48am London Calling Francky: Oh yes, I'll take that Strummer track right now as I am zooming down by train to the East End of London Town! Perfect timing! Thank you Brian!
	⚡ 8:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ London Calling Francky @8:48 ha..serendipitous
