	6:25pm Observations: Going live in 35 minutes!
	7:03pm Observations: YO! We are live
	7:03pm Observations: 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
	7:04pm Michael 98145: Yes, we are. Hellos.
	7:04pm Observations: Greetings!
	7:06pm Yvang: Hi David and observers. Music from Ethiopia is always a treat.
	7:10pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Connections" by "Sofia Jernberg" Born in Ethiopia, raised in Sweden
	7:11pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Y'shebellu" by "Alexander Hawkins and Sofia Jernb... In the duo, traditional songs from Ethiopia, Armenia, Sweden and elsewhere become the starting point for the development of an exciting and very personal sound world. David Toop writes in the liner notes: “Where is home, where is return for the scattered? Soft and crystalline, a music of edges, silence and tangential shoots, Musho dwells in these questions, invites the listener to consider displacement, migration, identity, responsibility, bloody history, the seepage of culture and community, but more than that, invites listening.”
	7:13pm Michael 98145: i like that. "the seepage of culture"
	7:21pm Observations: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:13 ICYMI I interviewed that writer, David Toop for my show wfmu.org...
	7:25pm wimpy: ↳ Song: "Yekermo Saw" by "Mulatu Astatke" Just curious, do you own this one? There was a lot of crackle so I wondered
	7:26pm Observations: ↳ wimpy @7:25 No, but it's a rip of an original vinyl copy
	7:29pm Michael 98145: ↳ Yvang @7:06 Totally agree
	7:30pm wimpy: ↳ Observations @7:26 Ah yeah, no shame in that. It was a real heater regardless
	7:35pm Observations: ↳ wimpy @7:30 Yeah, I wish I owned some of them, but they are hard to find and super expensive. In the end it's about the music not the format
	7:36pm Michael 98145: don't think i've ever seen an original Ethiopian 7" disc ...
	7:37pm Observations: ↳ Michael 98145 @7:36 I've only seen them online, Discogs, eBay, etc
	7:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Nuclear War" by "Sun Ra" YLT was the first version of nuclear war i heard. it took me almost a decade later to track down Sun Ra's...
	7:43pm Observations: ↳ northguineahills @7:40 playing this live version in lieu of the YLT studio version
	7:44pm Michael 98145: new to me, either way
	7:49pm wimpy: ↳ Observations @7:35 Indeed. On nuclear war, it’s always been a little weird to hear ra curse. I’ve seen a few interviews and heard some other albums where he performs his poetry and for as silly as he can be he just doesn’t seem like the kind of person who cusses often.
	7:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Nuclear War" by "Yo La Tengo and the Sun Ra Arkes... and i stepped out and missed it, consarnit!
	7:51pm Observations: ↳ wimpy @7:49 He is somewhat conflicted with "bad" language, as you can hear in some of the between song chatter I'll be playing later
	7:53pm Observations: "Nuclear War" is sadly more relevant than ever
	7:56pm Michael 98145: that first quarter of the 21st Century was ... something
	8:06pm wimpy: ↳ Song: "Nuclear War" by "Sun Ra" Who’s on trumpet here? Always cool to hear someone trying to get a little out there on trumpet. certainly a bit more difficult than on saxophone
	8:07pm Observations: ↳ wimpy @8:06 Trumpet – Ronnie Brown www.discogs.com...
	8:09pm Observations: added lyrics - "Don't you care about your sexuality?'
	8:37pm Observations: 🪐🪐🪐🪐🪐
	8:38pm Observations: 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
	8:54pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Nuclear War" by "Sun Ra" from my vinyl copy www.discogs.com...
	9:00pm northguineahills: ↳ Observations @8:07 thanks, david!
	9:06pm wimpy: ↳ Song: "Nuclear War" by "Irreversible Entanglements" I was wondering if you’d play anything from this. The record has been sitting around my local record shop but I don’t know any of the bands so I haven’t checked it out. Although, maybe that’s all the reason more to pick it up!
	9:08pm Observations: ↳ wimpy @9:06 I think it's great! I love all the artists. I've played most/all on my show at some point. I don't have the vinyl, just digital
	9:09pm Observations: redhot.bandcamp.com...
	9:11pm wimpy: I see Irwin Chusid’s name popped up on there, and I also have a copy of the crystal spears that their name pops up on. Are they a ra scholar when they’re not spinning tunes on here?
	9:12pm Observations: ↳ wimpy @9:11 Yes! He helps run Sun Ra LLC which controls the rights to Sun Ra's music
	9:12pm Christy D: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
	9:13pm Observations: ↳ wimpy @9:11 more info sunraarkive.blogspot.com...
	9:15pm wimpy: Ah that’s cool, reading the article I totally forgot that their name pops up on the big Raymond Scott collection that most people know. Cool stuff! If not for him I probably wouldn’t have gotten into Raymond Scott.
	9:20pm Observations: Most of the unofficial live Sun Ra material tonight was located via deep research into the below YouTube channel: www.youtube.com...
	🥁 9:21pm WR: Hi David and folks.
	9:23pm Observations: ✌️😎🙏
	9:32pm Observations: Back to Ethiopia
	9:32pm Observations: 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
	9:34pm Observations: The first hour of this past show of mine is all music from Ethiopia wfmu.org...
	9:45pm Yvang: Mahmoud Ahmed is my favourite...maybe because he was my gateway to the whole ethiopian musical universe...
	9:55pm northguineahills: ok, brain no worky, for some reason i thought you went until 20:00 EST. thanks again!
	9:55pm northguineahills: errr, 22:00, i can't even time right!
	10:00pm wimpy: thanks david! have a good night everyone
	🥁 10:00pm WR: Thank you, David!
	10:01pm Yvang: Thanks David! I hope this show will help us avoid a nuclear war.
