	3:30am Andrea C: Awww thank you Dan :)
	3:30am Hi from Holland: Aloha! Checking in...
	3:34am Colin & Eddie in Durham, UK: Secondhand Wonderland!!! Tuuune lol downloaded it to play on our next dog walk. I think I got confused with the new year’s episode and didn’t know what day it was
	3:35am Hi from Holland: For your list to checkout: As you played Beethoven last week: Band "Ekseption" plays classical music on early synths (late 60 early 70s) plenty of tunes to choose, but Toccata or the Fifth are always nice ...
	3:36am Colin & Eddie in Durham, UK: This is the happiest I’ve ever been
	3:37am Andrea C: ↳ bluecharlie @3:25 ciao bluecharlie! thank you :)
	3:41am Scott from Boston: Morning Dan and all!!!
	3:44am bluecharlie: ↳ Andrea C @3:37 🥳🫂❤️✨😊
	3:47am derekleif: Hey, board! It's so good to see you guys, and Dan, it's just wonderful to have you back in the 3-6 slot, giving my day the start it deserves. I continue to haunt lovely Beverly, Massacusetts, recently retired (as of three weeks ago), and now fully committed to listening to words and music, and creating such things as well. And now, as I begin my new life, I awake to a day that features new and wonderful things: a cup of coffee, a headful of ideas, the chance to wish Andrea C a happy birthday, the chance to work on a follow up to my legendary ukulele cover of "Goldfinger," and the chance, right now, right here, at this moment, to listen to the dulcet tones of the 12 inch of "Head Over Heels." And of course, yet again, Dan Morfitt knows exactly the cue to give me to get my mind into writing mode this morning. That brief sound clip command of "down periscope" reminds me to look inward, and find the ideas and images that I can share on my blog. Remember blogs? Early 2000s nostalgia. Good stuff. Soon the sun will rise and vampires will turn to their coffins with built in Bang and Olufson speakers, the better to listen to Wake and Bake at 6. Meanwhile, I, a creature of daylight, will walk the earth and contemplate how to make half and half whole. And the both of us, living and dead, shall, with periscopes down, dive deeply into our respective minds, and then meet again tomorrow, when we shall savor this moment in which my day begins and their day ends, and make a vow to meet again, tomorrow, and listen to Cat Bomb Radio. This show is, indeed, my sweet cheese, my good time boy. Good morning, all you fine people.
	3:50am Spikey BXL: Not sorry. Racist pig. Won't celebrate his death, but not sorry.
	3:50am Andrea C: Hi derekleif, thanks! have a blessed day :)
	3:52am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Spikey BXL @3:50 D'accord.
	3:52am Andrea C: ↳ Spikey BXL @3:50 talking Le Pen?
	3:54am Spikey BXL: ↳ Andrea C @3:52 Oui
	3:55am Dan Morfitt: ↳ derekleif @3:47 Welcome Home, Derek!
	3:55am Spikey BXL: Good to hear from you derekleif.
	3:56am Andrea C: ↳ Spikey BXL @3:54 I agree with you. Also, he must have been so pissed off moments before expiring. "I am going to miss it all"
	3:59am Scott from Boston: RIP Brenton
	3:59am tom tom the pipers son: just had some blueberries and yogurt ... yum .... hope it will put me to sleep.....hello all
	4:03am Scott from Boston: Happy birthday, Andrea C! These are the best years of your life
	4:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Gimme Little Sign" by "Brenton Wood" wonderful song... not familiar with the name brenton wood until recently (RIP)
	4:05am derekleif: I wanted to comment on something Dan just said: we've forgotten what social media can be. As a (now retired) librarian who cares deeply about truth, it is worth remembering that social media is much like fire: a powerful device that can spread ideas with an effectiveness that brings to mind William Burroughs contention that language is a virus from outer space. There is no doubt that we live in an age in which, from my perspective, we've seen three huge developments: the ability to store huge amounts of information in small spaces, the ability to copy that information (text, audio, and video in particular), and the ability to transmit information. Like fire, social media can spread destruction. Yet in small places such as here, it is a place of light and warmth, something that keeps us alive. Not all social media is created alike...thank goodness. In the same way that Gaul in the Asterix cartoons (boy, I'm dating myself) holds out against the Roman Empire, so do civil and engaging boards such as this guard agains the despair of the hulking opression of Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Dischord, Twitch, Snapchat, and whatever other evil wildfires spread lies, hate, and division. I mean, hey...I come here after being away for ages, and there's Spikey, saying hello, as if he's just bought me a pint. Be strong, people. WFMU shall keep us together.
	4:05am Scott from Boston: Tom Tom… he also did the Oogum Boogum song too! Check him out… Coincidentally we have a ski resort here in Massachusetts called Brentonwood
	4:06am Andrea C: ↳ Scott from Boston @4:03 Hi Scott! thank you! as an adultescent, I agree 💯 :)
	4:06am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @4:05 Gosh I would love to buy you a pint, either side of the pond.
	4:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Scott from Boston @4:05 oh right i've heard that recently on fmu ...i'm familar with the songs, just not the man
	4:08am Andrea C: ↳ derekleif @4:05 Amen derekleif!
	4:14am Dan Morfitt: ↳ derekleif @4:05 Absolutely, better together than being pulled apart. We're old enough to know life before the social media of today. Before MySpace, Usenet and loads of BBSs, email chains et al. The willingness to bend reality with no end only to antagonize and demonize others is a peculiar trait, that has now not just been normalized but encouraged by men calling themselves leaders, be that political, corporate or community. In any cycle, this is a watershed, the end of one era ushering a new one in. We have the choice to be the light than be swallowed by the dark. I'd like to buy the world a pint, and a bowl of poutine too. We'd all be happy as heck!
	4:20am Andrea C: Dan Morfitt: WFMU British Invasion!
	4:20am Roy_Santiago: Hello from Holland!
	4:23am Roy_Santiago: @hi from Holland: no pun intended
	4:27am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Andrea C @4:20 They never end brilliantly!
	4:27am derekleif: Hey...anyone in the middle of a good book? I just finished "The Power Broker"--one of the best books I've ever read--and am now listening to the audio book of "The Freaks Came Out ot Write," an oral history of The Village Voice. It's just this lovely work that captures a time in New York in which I, like many of the folks on this board, I'm sure, would have fit right in. I also saw a devastating documentary about, of all things, the story of the "Girls Gone Wild," and its founder, Joe Francis. It's a brutal mediatation on a particular mindset that views everything as currency--women in particular--and prizes many of the toxic values that we see all too often in social media (yep, Dan, I was gonna dovetail back to the subject of social media, what with being a retired librarian and all). I hope you guys don't mind my long posts--I sincerely hope I don't sound like a deranged, caffeinated outlier who lives in a shed in the woods, as I don't live in a shed in the woods--but hanker for the old days of social media, when people exchanged ideas and kindness. There's such a throwback feel to WFMU's boards. It reminds me of the very early days of the internet's emergence from an insular military and academic construct to a universal means of information exchange. So...what are you guys reading, listening to, looking at, and watching? And greetings to you in The Netherlands, Roy_Santiago!
	4:29am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @4:27 Love the longer posts! Robert effin Moses - what a guy, what a book. I think I need to read it again.
	4:30am derekleif: Spikey, have you read any of the books in Robert Caro's massive, massive biographical opus of Lyndon Johnson?
	4:30am Dan Morfitt: ↳ derekleif @4:27 More than welcome with the longer post! What I would give for a shed in the woods....
	4:30am J-W: Good stuff guys. the Lite is always shining to the cracks! good to hear sensible people. Most people are btw. But the power of information is great. Autocrats know that better than anyone. We do have to take some responsibility ourselves as the wave of BS is taking on the form of a tsunami. Let's start buying each other some pints! I'll be in Brussels tonight
	4:30am J-W: ↳ Dan Morfitt @4:30 Walden
	4:30am bluecharlie: 🤣🏎️
	4:31am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @4:30 I have not, Power Broker is the only one I read. Any recco?
	4:32am Krys O.: Good morning!
	4:33am Krys O.: Zuck as Mr. Bean is a concept.
	4:34am Spikey BXL: ↳ Krys O. @4:33 the GIF is mesmerizing - morning Sister Krys
	4:34am bluecharlie: And I love tucking my jumpers into my trousers 🤣It looks cute!🤓
	4:35am Strandlund: Good Morning Dan and the Lite Brigade!!
	4:36am Andrea C: ↳ derekleif @4:27 Your posts so far all all great :) no judgement on you but positive! Besides the stuff I am studying for Rust and Software Engineering, I am trying to read something as well. "Right Hand, Left Hand" by Chris McManus "The highly sensitive person" by Elaine N. Aaron, Ph. D. Don't mean to sound like a "__insert your fav here__" , but I've been on a path of "self-acceptance" and self-discovery for a little while now. After that I can focus on more. Like they say, to use an airplane quote: your own oxygen mask first.
	4:37am Andrea C: ↳ Krys O. @4:32 Buongiorno Krys!
	4:37am derekleif: Spikey, one thing I can recommend straightaway is a lovely documentary called "Turn Every Page." It's a profile of the relationship between Caro and Bill Gottlieb (now, unfortunately, deceased), a legendary editor who blue pencilled just about every famous book ever written, judging from the resume the documentary details. It's just wonderful, wonderful depiction of what it is to live a full and rich life. You see Caro, all 88 years of him, speaking and moving and, above all, always seeking more knoweldge, more ideas. And in Gottlieb, you see someone in his element: surrounded by the words he obviously loved to the very, very end. It's just a great, life affirming ode to what it is to live a full and rich life. I recommend it without reservation.
	4:37am Roy_Santiago: Wait, am I listening to Yes, We Have No Mountains?
	4:37am Roy_Santiago: Hi Krys!
	4:37am Krys O.: Hey, Roy!
	4:38am Spikey BXL: I feel we're doing The Nits a disservice by not having mentioned them before. Lowland heroes for me. Dutch mountains!
	4:38am Krys O.: ↳ Roy_Santiago @4:37 WFMU Lite is global!!
	4:39am Andrea C: Dan AFAIK "ei" is always read "Ai"
	4:39am J-W: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:38 New Flat!
	4:41am Krys O.: I must have watched Death of Stalin about a dozen times. It's just brilliantly hilarious. Most things that Iannucci is involved with can do that.
	4:41am derekleif: I love that point in weekly bulletin board postings when you start recognizing names, and feel as if you're walking into a bar where people say "hey, buddy, good to see you"...or a pub where everyone says "hey, mate, good to see you." Good to see you, Krys!
	4:42am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @4:37 That sounds very interesting. I am procuring it already!
	4:42am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Andrea C @4:39 I don't want riches or fame, I'd just like to be fluent in every language! English is a lovely mongrel language, plucked from everyone else's tongue and the only rule is there are no rules! And I'm from Hull too making it even harder!
	4:44am Andrea C: ↳ Dan Morfitt @4:42 I love langauges as well :) I think you may love this linguist youtuber! www.youtube.com... he does lots of etimology and history of the english language realted to its roots etc...
	4:45am Andrea C: YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
	4:46am Andrea C: ↳ Andrea C @4:45 (referred to THAT sample! of the episode that shall remain unnamed and cancelled)
	4:46am Krys O.: ↳ derekleif @4:41 Cheers!
	4:50am j.farrell: Lol
	4:52am Spikey BXL: oooooh more Orzabal!
	5:00am J-W: ↳ Andrea C @4:44 Interesting! thanks for sharing. instead of working I am now learning about Runen!
	5:00am Andrea C: ↳ J-W @5:00 glad to be of dis/service :D
	5:01am bluecharlie: ✊🏼🥹🥰
	5:04am Hi from Holland: ↳ Andrea C @4:44 For those interested: "How the DUTCH Changed the English Language" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHATiBilDtk
	5:05am Andrea C: ↳ Song: "Rain" by "SWV" Nice use of Jaco.
	5:06am Andrea C: ↳ Hi from Holland @5:04 thank you :) I'll watch later :)
	5:09am Andrea C: ↳ Hi from Holland @5:04 on that note: it reminds me of how "purists" of any kind and matter are just ignorant sheeps.
	5:10am derekleif: Andrea! Thanks so much! I always love to have an answer to the question "what's new." Now, when someone asks me that question, instead of seeming old and gray (oh, wait...that cow has left the barn), I can now say "well, I learned, thanks to Andrea C on Dan Morfitt's 'WFMU Lite' board, that 'pickle,' 'lucky,' and 'coffee' are but a few of the words that comprise the one percent of words that come from Holland." Thanks, pal!
	5:11am Andrea C: ↳ derekleif @5:10 thanks derek and Hi from Holland. dutch inputs from him, I guess :)
	5:11am Dan Morfitt: Pickle.
	5:12am Hi from Holland: ↳ Andrea C @5:06 He also has a "Rude Dutch" video :)
	5:13am Andrea C: ↳ Song: "Head Over Heels" by "Abba" someone should mashup this and Iron Maiden's "run for the hills" (or whatever the title is)
	5:13am J-W: ↳ Dan Morfitt @5:11 Makes me think of "Pickled Eggs and Sherbet" from All Seeing I
	5:14am lanky: Good morning, Lite-ites, Dan. Joining late today...
	5:14am derekleif: Cool! I did not know that "tea" is a Dutch word. Now, suddenly, I know why it was The Dutch East India Tea Company, which was the megamegamega corporation of its time.
	5:15am bluecharlie: That's right, Clay! Good for you! Take another day! Get better soon, big man✨🥰🫶🏼
	5:15am Hi from Holland: ↳ Song: "Jamei jo non veirèi" by "Cocanha" 🧡
	5:16am Andrea C: @Clay if you are reading this: be well our dear friend. Take care of yourself and let the cats all over you! We'll be here when you are feeling great :)
	5:17am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Hi from Holland @5:15 Thank you
	5:17am Spikey BXL: ↳ Andrea C @5:16 adding pixie for the pidgeman ✨
	5:18am derekleif: More pixie for the Pidge.
	5:18am bluecharlie: ↳ Song: "Jamei jo non veirèi" by "Cocanha" In to ears ✨🎧
	5:19am Andrea C: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:17 of course!!!! 🧚✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
	5:19am Andrea C: Dan, these occitan tunes are amazing! thanks!
	5:19am Strandlund: Pixie for the Pidge!!
	5:20am Spikey BXL: I can smell the patchouli in their voices, and that's fine
	5:20am Andrea C: Ciao Strandlund!
	5:21am Hi from Holland: ↳ Song: "Mag het licht uit" by "De Dijk" Another 🧡 obviously
	5:21am J-W: ↳ Song: "Mag het licht uit" by "De Dijk" Good song! used to hear this on the radio when I was a kid. They also did a nice cover of Brel's "Amsterdam"
	5:24am derekleif: Question: how do I take in some of this music without becoming overwhelmed by not just this show, but all the offerings on WMFU? There's just so much stuff. What do you folks do...just pick two or three out of each show to make a note to listen to, so that it doesn't all just evaporate, leaving nothing but the occasional memory of, say, Norah Jones and Paul Anka singing "Black Hole Sun"?
	5:26am Andrea C: ↳ derekleif @5:24 WFMU clicky stars are a way to save your favs. The ones I really really like I save on spotify too. Like the occitan tunes album is already queued for play!
	5:26am Strandlund: ↳ Andrea C @5:20 Ciao Andrea!!
	5:27am Andrea C: ↳ Strandlund @5:26 Hey, I am fifty today! :D btw everyone, this is my present to me and you all: gentlewashrecords.com...
	5:27am BillyLundun: Howdy all!
	5:27am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @5:24 I try to find the songs I clicky star either in a spotify playlist, or, if not present on the evil platform, look for the YT version. My WFMU Faves PL is linked in my profile. The next song I add wilt take it to 5,555 I play that list when I am not listening live and want solid music.
	5:28am Andrea C: ↳ Song: "A Day In The Life" by "Fabio D'Andrea - Queatles ... king forward to the "we wil not let you go" part.
	5:28am J-W: ↳ derekleif @5:24 Just listen to WFMU all the time ;-) clicky stars help to make a list. I also use Shazam to port things to a playlist. And I work from there.
	5:28am Andrea C: ↳ Andrea C @5:28 looking*
	5:30am Krys O.: Thanks, Dan! Have a great day, folks!
	5:31am Andrea C: ↳ Krys O. @5:30 buona giornata Krys :)
	5:32am Scott from Boston: Charlatans !
	5:33am bluecharlie: 💃🏿
	5:33am Sean Bikes: Good morning, Lite Brigade!
	5:36am Scott from Boston: Morning Sean, Strand, all!
	5:38am derekleif: Thanks so much for the feedback, people. A bit technologically behind in figuring out what I can do with clicking the stars. Besides allowing me to go back to this playlist and quickly spot the things that stuck in my mind, is there anything else I can do with them? Or do you just then create playists on, say, Spotify by just entering the names of them, or is there some techno secret that allow you to click a few things here, and then magically have the playlist appear on Spotify or Shazam?
	5:39am Daybreak!: That WIND ain't LITE, she's my sister!
	5:41am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @5:38 Yes. I go full manual into the main list. Have sub/different lists for: - metal/heavy stuff - jazz - pure dance stuff (but the really great tracks might end up in general one as well)
	5:42am Reagan NYZENRN: Good morning Dan. Great song to start my day thank you! Good morning good day good evening wherever you are!
	5:42am Daybreak!: Thanks for "Reaching Out" in a new and unexpected way Dan! This song and that fact makes me feel special when I definitely WASN'T a few minutes ago! Cheers!
	5:42am Jersey Jim: Me to my boss, while stuck in traffic " Andy Sweet,,I'll be there
	5:42am Spikey BXL: ↳ Reagan NYZENRN @5:42 Big hug to you, dear Reagan. you know i'll be there!
	5:43am Dan Morfitt: That's it from me. Back next week, same time, 3AM ET ERNAL, same Bat Channel. Clay is convalescing, Todd-O-Phonic Todd takes over the WFMU board next Waking and Baking you summat silly for Thursday!
	5:43am Reagan NYZENRN: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:41 Hello my friend. good day to you sending an early batch of fresh pixie and a side of big hugs. Happy day Spikey
	5:43am Reagan NYZENRN: ↳ Dan Morfitt @5:43 Thanks Dan!
	5:44am Spikey BXL: Merci, merci beaucoup, Commandeur Dan.
	5:45am Jersey Jim: WFMU Lite is fantastic
	5:45am Andrea C: Good morning Reagan! Have a fantastic day!
	5:47am derekleif: Thanks Spikey. I'm starting to see that if I really want to appreciate WFMU, I'm well advised to take my library cataloging skills and apply them to turning up my Spotify playlist organization game. I should imagine that the more I listen, the more folder I will create as I hear more separate categories and subcategories of music. It's kind of like those restaurants in Manhattan that combine the cuisines of, like, eight nations, while the place next door combines the cuisines of six of those nations, plus, like, three more that the previous restaurant doesn't. It's going to be that way with the Spotify folders, I'm sure. Soon I'll need separate folders to separate my Swedish Death Metal Gospel Polka from the Danish Death Metal Gospel Polka (not to be confused with the subset popular in Greenland, which currently, I'm told, is full of angry screeds about Donald Trump's plans to take it over).
	5:48am Daybreak!: I can imagine the chorus: We're Different but Equal Repeating over parts of "Electricity..." . We're Different but Equal We're Different but Equal We're Different but Equal
	5:50am Reagan NYZENRN: ↳ Andrea C @5:45 Hey Andrea. Having a good day? Always great to see you here. Sending success pixie for whatever you are doing XOX
	5:52am BillyLundun: ↳ Song: "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by "Vanilla Fudge" Oh yeah!!!
	5:52am bradford: Many thanks, Dan!
	5:52am Andrea C: ↳ Reagan NYZENRN @5:50 I am great :) turning 50 today! Dan dedicated me a new Matt Berry song! Having great convo here! This is my fav way to celebrate!
	5:52am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @5:47 I would try to limit the categories as much as possible. They're quite artificial and wonky to begin with. For me it's rather mood-based, or, who it might irk if I suddenly a black metal song pops on when I have a list shuffling. You know that the WFMU quality filter has already been automatically applied.
	5:53am Andrea C: ↳ Andrea C @5:52 ps: oh yeah I published my latest release too! planned months ago to go live today!
	5:54am Strandlund: Thanks Dan!! Great show as always!!
	5:54am Reagan NYZENRN: ↳ Andrea C @5:27 ANDREA. today is your birthday!!! Best wishes for a great year. 50 is fabulous. BIG pixie for a BIG year!!
	5:55am Strandlund: ↳ Andrea C @5:27 Happy Happy B-Day Andrea!!
	5:55am Reagan NYZENRN: ↳ Andrea C @5:53 congratulations ! all that hard work. Hooray
	5:55am Andrea C: thank you Reagan! Strandlund!
	5:55am derekleif: That's actually a really good point, Spikey. Often, I make the mistake of "oversorting" things. These days it's tempting to so subdivide something that every item has its own and distinct category. Grouping them by mood is a great idea, as is, I should imagine, grouping them by time, making a brief list that is sort of a time capsule of this particular point in life. This Vanilla fudge song, for example, is my time marker of January 9, 5:55 AM EST, when Andrea celebrated her 50th birthday, and I learned a whole lot of Dutch words.
	5:55am BillyLundun: Nailed it Dan! Have a good one! Happy birthday to Andrea as well!
	5:56am derekleif: See you next week, you lovely people!
	5:56am Andrea C: Thank you Dan! Fantastic show! Thanks for all the birthday wishes! and the dedicated song!!!!!
	5:56am Hi from Holland: Cheers Dan!
	5:57am lanky: Get well Pidge!
	5:58am Listener Bryan (the Professor): Andrea C! Happy birthday!!! And good morning, Mr. Morfitt. Glad I could catch the last few minutes of your show.
	5:58am BillyLundun: ta-ra!
	5:59am j.farrell: Thanks Dan!
	6:00am bluecharlie: Dan! My alarm set for four, but when you're on, I wake up at three! Nothing better than the original! See you next week lite listeners. Thank you for opening me up for great things! ❤️🫶🏼✨🥰🫂🥹🤓
	6:00am j.farrell: Good morning Todd

	3:30am Hi from Holland: Aloha! Checking in...
	3:34am Colin & Eddie in Durham, UK: Secondhand Wonderland!!! Tuuune lol downloaded it to play on our next dog walk. I think I got confused with the new year’s episode and didn’t know what day it was
	3:35am Hi from Holland: For your list to checkout: As you played Beethoven last week: Band "Ekseption" plays classical music on early synths (late 60 early 70s) plenty of tunes to choose, but Toccata or the Fifth are always nice ...
	3:36am Colin & Eddie in Durham, UK: This is the happiest I’ve ever been
	3:37am Andrea C: ↳ bluecharlie @3:25 ciao bluecharlie! thank you :)
	3:41am Scott from Boston: Morning Dan and all!!!
	3:44am bluecharlie: ↳ Andrea C @3:37 🥳🫂❤️✨😊
	3:47am derekleif: Hey, board! It's so good to see you guys, and Dan, it's just wonderful to have you back in the 3-6 slot, giving my day the start it deserves. I continue to haunt lovely Beverly, Massacusetts, recently retired (as of three weeks ago), and now fully committed to listening to words and music, and creating such things as well. And now, as I begin my new life, I awake to a day that features new and wonderful things: a cup of coffee, a headful of ideas, the chance to wish Andrea C a happy birthday, the chance to work on a follow up to my legendary ukulele cover of "Goldfinger," and the chance, right now, right here, at this moment, to listen to the dulcet tones of the 12 inch of "Head Over Heels." And of course, yet again, Dan Morfitt knows exactly the cue to give me to get my mind into writing mode this morning. That brief sound clip command of "down periscope" reminds me to look inward, and find the ideas and images that I can share on my blog. Remember blogs? Early 2000s nostalgia. Good stuff. Soon the sun will rise and vampires will turn to their coffins with built in Bang and Olufson speakers, the better to listen to Wake and Bake at 6. Meanwhile, I, a creature of daylight, will walk the earth and contemplate how to make half and half whole. And the both of us, living and dead, shall, with periscopes down, dive deeply into our respective minds, and then meet again tomorrow, when we shall savor this moment in which my day begins and their day ends, and make a vow to meet again, tomorrow, and listen to Cat Bomb Radio. This show is, indeed, my sweet cheese, my good time boy. Good morning, all you fine people.
	3:50am Spikey BXL: Not sorry. Racist pig. Won't celebrate his death, but not sorry.
	3:50am Andrea C: Hi derekleif, thanks! have a blessed day :)
	3:52am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Spikey BXL @3:50 D'accord.
	3:52am Andrea C: ↳ Spikey BXL @3:50 talking Le Pen?
	3:54am Spikey BXL: ↳ Andrea C @3:52 Oui
	3:55am Dan Morfitt: ↳ derekleif @3:47 Welcome Home, Derek!
	3:55am Spikey BXL: Good to hear from you derekleif.
	3:56am Andrea C: ↳ Spikey BXL @3:54 I agree with you. Also, he must have been so pissed off moments before expiring. "I am going to miss it all"
	3:59am Scott from Boston: RIP Brenton
	3:59am tom tom the pipers son: just had some blueberries and yogurt ... yum .... hope it will put me to sleep.....hello all
	4:03am Scott from Boston: Happy birthday, Andrea C! These are the best years of your life
	4:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Gimme Little Sign" by "Brenton Wood" wonderful song... not familiar with the name brenton wood until recently (RIP)
	4:05am derekleif: I wanted to comment on something Dan just said: we've forgotten what social media can be. As a (now retired) librarian who cares deeply about truth, it is worth remembering that social media is much like fire: a powerful device that can spread ideas with an effectiveness that brings to mind William Burroughs contention that language is a virus from outer space. There is no doubt that we live in an age in which, from my perspective, we've seen three huge developments: the ability to store huge amounts of information in small spaces, the ability to copy that information (text, audio, and video in particular), and the ability to transmit information. Like fire, social media can spread destruction. Yet in small places such as here, it is a place of light and warmth, something that keeps us alive. Not all social media is created alike...thank goodness. In the same way that Gaul in the Asterix cartoons (boy, I'm dating myself) holds out against the Roman Empire, so do civil and engaging boards such as this guard agains the despair of the hulking opression of Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Dischord, Twitch, Snapchat, and whatever other evil wildfires spread lies, hate, and division. I mean, hey...I come here after being away for ages, and there's Spikey, saying hello, as if he's just bought me a pint. Be strong, people. WFMU shall keep us together.
	4:05am Scott from Boston: Tom Tom… he also did the Oogum Boogum song too! Check him out… Coincidentally we have a ski resort here in Massachusetts called Brentonwood
	4:06am Andrea C: ↳ Scott from Boston @4:03 Hi Scott! thank you! as an adultescent, I agree 💯 :)
	4:06am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @4:05 Gosh I would love to buy you a pint, either side of the pond.
	4:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Scott from Boston @4:05 oh right i've heard that recently on fmu ...i'm familar with the songs, just not the man
	4:08am Andrea C: ↳ derekleif @4:05 Amen derekleif!
	4:14am Dan Morfitt: ↳ derekleif @4:05 Absolutely, better together than being pulled apart. We're old enough to know life before the social media of today. Before MySpace, Usenet and loads of BBSs, email chains et al. The willingness to bend reality with no end only to antagonize and demonize others is a peculiar trait, that has now not just been normalized but encouraged by men calling themselves leaders, be that political, corporate or community. In any cycle, this is a watershed, the end of one era ushering a new one in. We have the choice to be the light than be swallowed by the dark. I'd like to buy the world a pint, and a bowl of poutine too. We'd all be happy as heck!
	4:20am Andrea C: Dan Morfitt: WFMU British Invasion!
	4:20am Roy_Santiago: Hello from Holland!
	4:23am Roy_Santiago: @hi from Holland: no pun intended
	4:27am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Andrea C @4:20 They never end brilliantly!
	4:27am derekleif: Hey...anyone in the middle of a good book? I just finished "The Power Broker"--one of the best books I've ever read--and am now listening to the audio book of "The Freaks Came Out ot Write," an oral history of The Village Voice. It's just this lovely work that captures a time in New York in which I, like many of the folks on this board, I'm sure, would have fit right in. I also saw a devastating documentary about, of all things, the story of the "Girls Gone Wild," and its founder, Joe Francis. It's a brutal mediatation on a particular mindset that views everything as currency--women in particular--and prizes many of the toxic values that we see all too often in social media (yep, Dan, I was gonna dovetail back to the subject of social media, what with being a retired librarian and all). I hope you guys don't mind my long posts--I sincerely hope I don't sound like a deranged, caffeinated outlier who lives in a shed in the woods, as I don't live in a shed in the woods--but hanker for the old days of social media, when people exchanged ideas and kindness. There's such a throwback feel to WFMU's boards. It reminds me of the very early days of the internet's emergence from an insular military and academic construct to a universal means of information exchange. So...what are you guys reading, listening to, looking at, and watching? And greetings to you in The Netherlands, Roy_Santiago!
	4:29am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @4:27 Love the longer posts! Robert effin Moses - what a guy, what a book. I think I need to read it again.
	4:30am derekleif: Spikey, have you read any of the books in Robert Caro's massive, massive biographical opus of Lyndon Johnson?
	4:30am Dan Morfitt: ↳ derekleif @4:27 More than welcome with the longer post! What I would give for a shed in the woods....
	4:30am J-W: Good stuff guys. the Lite is always shining to the cracks! good to hear sensible people. Most people are btw. But the power of information is great. Autocrats know that better than anyone. We do have to take some responsibility ourselves as the wave of BS is taking on the form of a tsunami. Let's start buying each other some pints! I'll be in Brussels tonight
	4:30am J-W: ↳ Dan Morfitt @4:30 Walden
	4:30am bluecharlie: 🤣🏎️
	4:31am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @4:30 I have not, Power Broker is the only one I read. Any recco?
	4:32am Krys O.: Good morning!
	4:33am Krys O.: Zuck as Mr. Bean is a concept.
	4:34am Spikey BXL: ↳ Krys O. @4:33 the GIF is mesmerizing - morning Sister Krys
	4:34am bluecharlie: And I love tucking my jumpers into my trousers 🤣It looks cute!🤓
	4:35am Strandlund: Good Morning Dan and the Lite Brigade!!
	4:36am Andrea C: ↳ derekleif @4:27 Your posts so far all all great :) no judgement on you but positive! Besides the stuff I am studying for Rust and Software Engineering, I am trying to read something as well. "Right Hand, Left Hand" by Chris McManus "The highly sensitive person" by Elaine N. Aaron, Ph. D. Don't mean to sound like a "__insert your fav here__" , but I've been on a path of "self-acceptance" and self-discovery for a little while now. After that I can focus on more. Like they say, to use an airplane quote: your own oxygen mask first.
	4:37am Andrea C: ↳ Krys O. @4:32 Buongiorno Krys!
	4:37am derekleif: Spikey, one thing I can recommend straightaway is a lovely documentary called "Turn Every Page." It's a profile of the relationship between Caro and Bill Gottlieb (now, unfortunately, deceased), a legendary editor who blue pencilled just about every famous book ever written, judging from the resume the documentary details. It's just wonderful, wonderful depiction of what it is to live a full and rich life. You see Caro, all 88 years of him, speaking and moving and, above all, always seeking more knoweldge, more ideas. And in Gottlieb, you see someone in his element: surrounded by the words he obviously loved to the very, very end. It's just a great, life affirming ode to what it is to live a full and rich life. I recommend it without reservation.
	4:37am Roy_Santiago: Wait, am I listening to Yes, We Have No Mountains?
	4:37am Roy_Santiago: Hi Krys!
	4:37am Krys O.: Hey, Roy!
	4:38am Spikey BXL: I feel we're doing The Nits a disservice by not having mentioned them before. Lowland heroes for me. Dutch mountains!
	4:38am Krys O.: ↳ Roy_Santiago @4:37 WFMU Lite is global!!
	4:39am Andrea C: Dan AFAIK "ei" is always read "Ai"
	4:39am J-W: ↳ Spikey BXL @4:38 New Flat!
	4:41am Krys O.: I must have watched Death of Stalin about a dozen times. It's just brilliantly hilarious. Most things that Iannucci is involved with can do that.
	4:41am derekleif: I love that point in weekly bulletin board postings when you start recognizing names, and feel as if you're walking into a bar where people say "hey, buddy, good to see you"...or a pub where everyone says "hey, mate, good to see you." Good to see you, Krys!
	4:42am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @4:37 That sounds very interesting. I am procuring it already!
	4:42am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Andrea C @4:39 I don't want riches or fame, I'd just like to be fluent in every language! English is a lovely mongrel language, plucked from everyone else's tongue and the only rule is there are no rules! And I'm from Hull too making it even harder!
	4:44am Andrea C: ↳ Dan Morfitt @4:42 I love langauges as well :) I think you may love this linguist youtuber! www.youtube.com... he does lots of etimology and history of the english language realted to its roots etc...
	4:45am Andrea C: YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
	4:46am Andrea C: ↳ Andrea C @4:45 (referred to THAT sample! of the episode that shall remain unnamed and cancelled)
	4:46am Krys O.: ↳ derekleif @4:41 Cheers!
	4:50am j.farrell: Lol
	4:52am Spikey BXL: oooooh more Orzabal!
	5:00am J-W: ↳ Andrea C @4:44 Interesting! thanks for sharing. instead of working I am now learning about Runen!
	5:00am Andrea C: ↳ J-W @5:00 glad to be of dis/service :D
	5:01am bluecharlie: ✊🏼🥹🥰
	5:04am Hi from Holland: ↳ Andrea C @4:44 For those interested: "How the DUTCH Changed the English Language" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHATiBilDtk
	5:05am Andrea C: ↳ Song: "Rain" by "SWV" Nice use of Jaco.
	5:06am Andrea C: ↳ Hi from Holland @5:04 thank you :) I'll watch later :)
	5:09am Andrea C: ↳ Hi from Holland @5:04 on that note: it reminds me of how "purists" of any kind and matter are just ignorant sheeps.
	5:10am derekleif: Andrea! Thanks so much! I always love to have an answer to the question "what's new." Now, when someone asks me that question, instead of seeming old and gray (oh, wait...that cow has left the barn), I can now say "well, I learned, thanks to Andrea C on Dan Morfitt's 'WFMU Lite' board, that 'pickle,' 'lucky,' and 'coffee' are but a few of the words that comprise the one percent of words that come from Holland." Thanks, pal!
	5:11am Andrea C: ↳ derekleif @5:10 thanks derek and Hi from Holland. dutch inputs from him, I guess :)
	5:11am Dan Morfitt: Pickle.
	5:12am Hi from Holland: ↳ Andrea C @5:06 He also has a "Rude Dutch" video :)
	5:13am Andrea C: ↳ Song: "Head Over Heels" by "Abba" someone should mashup this and Iron Maiden's "run for the hills" (or whatever the title is)
	5:13am J-W: ↳ Dan Morfitt @5:11 Makes me think of "Pickled Eggs and Sherbet" from All Seeing I
	5:14am lanky: Good morning, Lite-ites, Dan. Joining late today...
	5:14am derekleif: Cool! I did not know that "tea" is a Dutch word. Now, suddenly, I know why it was The Dutch East India Tea Company, which was the megamegamega corporation of its time.
	5:15am bluecharlie: That's right, Clay! Good for you! Take another day! Get better soon, big man✨🥰🫶🏼
	5:15am Hi from Holland: ↳ Song: "Jamei jo non veirèi" by "Cocanha" 🧡
	5:16am Andrea C: @Clay if you are reading this: be well our dear friend. Take care of yourself and let the cats all over you! We'll be here when you are feeling great :)
	5:17am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Hi from Holland @5:15 Thank you
	5:17am Spikey BXL: ↳ Andrea C @5:16 adding pixie for the pidgeman ✨
	5:18am derekleif: More pixie for the Pidge.
	5:18am bluecharlie: ↳ Song: "Jamei jo non veirèi" by "Cocanha" In to ears ✨🎧
	5:19am Andrea C: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:17 of course!!!! 🧚✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
	5:19am Andrea C: Dan, these occitan tunes are amazing! thanks!
	5:19am Strandlund: Pixie for the Pidge!!
	5:20am Spikey BXL: I can smell the patchouli in their voices, and that's fine
	5:20am Andrea C: Ciao Strandlund!
	5:21am Hi from Holland: ↳ Song: "Mag het licht uit" by "De Dijk" Another 🧡 obviously
	5:21am J-W: ↳ Song: "Mag het licht uit" by "De Dijk" Good song! used to hear this on the radio when I was a kid. They also did a nice cover of Brel's "Amsterdam"
	5:24am derekleif: Question: how do I take in some of this music without becoming overwhelmed by not just this show, but all the offerings on WMFU? There's just so much stuff. What do you folks do...just pick two or three out of each show to make a note to listen to, so that it doesn't all just evaporate, leaving nothing but the occasional memory of, say, Norah Jones and Paul Anka singing "Black Hole Sun"?
	5:26am Andrea C: ↳ derekleif @5:24 WFMU clicky stars are a way to save your favs. The ones I really really like I save on spotify too. Like the occitan tunes album is already queued for play!
	5:26am Strandlund: ↳ Andrea C @5:20 Ciao Andrea!!
	5:27am Andrea C: ↳ Strandlund @5:26 Hey, I am fifty today! :D btw everyone, this is my present to me and you all: gentlewashrecords.com...
	5:27am BillyLundun: Howdy all!
	5:27am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @5:24 I try to find the songs I clicky star either in a spotify playlist, or, if not present on the evil platform, look for the YT version. My WFMU Faves PL is linked in my profile. The next song I add wilt take it to 5,555 I play that list when I am not listening live and want solid music.
	5:28am Andrea C: ↳ Song: "A Day In The Life" by "Fabio D'Andrea - Queatles ... king forward to the "we wil not let you go" part.
	5:28am J-W: ↳ derekleif @5:24 Just listen to WFMU all the time ;-) clicky stars help to make a list. I also use Shazam to port things to a playlist. And I work from there.
	5:28am Andrea C: ↳ Andrea C @5:28 looking*
	5:30am Krys O.: Thanks, Dan! Have a great day, folks!
	5:31am Andrea C: ↳ Krys O. @5:30 buona giornata Krys :)
	5:32am Scott from Boston: Charlatans !
	5:33am bluecharlie: 💃🏿
	5:33am Sean Bikes: Good morning, Lite Brigade!
	5:36am Scott from Boston: Morning Sean, Strand, all!
	5:38am derekleif: Thanks so much for the feedback, people. A bit technologically behind in figuring out what I can do with clicking the stars. Besides allowing me to go back to this playlist and quickly spot the things that stuck in my mind, is there anything else I can do with them? Or do you just then create playists on, say, Spotify by just entering the names of them, or is there some techno secret that allow you to click a few things here, and then magically have the playlist appear on Spotify or Shazam?
	5:39am Daybreak!: That WIND ain't LITE, she's my sister!
	5:41am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @5:38 Yes. I go full manual into the main list. Have sub/different lists for: - metal/heavy stuff - jazz - pure dance stuff (but the really great tracks might end up in general one as well)
	5:42am Reagan NYZENRN: Good morning Dan. Great song to start my day thank you! Good morning good day good evening wherever you are!
	5:42am Daybreak!: Thanks for "Reaching Out" in a new and unexpected way Dan! This song and that fact makes me feel special when I definitely WASN'T a few minutes ago! Cheers!
	5:42am Jersey Jim: Me to my boss, while stuck in traffic " Andy Sweet,,I'll be there
	5:42am Spikey BXL: ↳ Reagan NYZENRN @5:42 Big hug to you, dear Reagan. you know i'll be there!
	5:43am Dan Morfitt: That's it from me. Back next week, same time, 3AM ET ERNAL, same Bat Channel. Clay is convalescing, Todd-O-Phonic Todd takes over the WFMU board next Waking and Baking you summat silly for Thursday!
	5:43am Reagan NYZENRN: ↳ Spikey BXL @5:41 Hello my friend. good day to you sending an early batch of fresh pixie and a side of big hugs. Happy day Spikey
	5:43am Reagan NYZENRN: ↳ Dan Morfitt @5:43 Thanks Dan!
	5:44am Spikey BXL: Merci, merci beaucoup, Commandeur Dan.
	5:45am Jersey Jim: WFMU Lite is fantastic
	5:45am Andrea C: Good morning Reagan! Have a fantastic day!
	5:47am derekleif: Thanks Spikey. I'm starting to see that if I really want to appreciate WFMU, I'm well advised to take my library cataloging skills and apply them to turning up my Spotify playlist organization game. I should imagine that the more I listen, the more folder I will create as I hear more separate categories and subcategories of music. It's kind of like those restaurants in Manhattan that combine the cuisines of, like, eight nations, while the place next door combines the cuisines of six of those nations, plus, like, three more that the previous restaurant doesn't. It's going to be that way with the Spotify folders, I'm sure. Soon I'll need separate folders to separate my Swedish Death Metal Gospel Polka from the Danish Death Metal Gospel Polka (not to be confused with the subset popular in Greenland, which currently, I'm told, is full of angry screeds about Donald Trump's plans to take it over).
	5:48am Daybreak!: I can imagine the chorus: We're Different but Equal Repeating over parts of "Electricity..." . We're Different but Equal We're Different but Equal We're Different but Equal
	5:50am Reagan NYZENRN: ↳ Andrea C @5:45 Hey Andrea. Having a good day? Always great to see you here. Sending success pixie for whatever you are doing XOX
	5:52am BillyLundun: ↳ Song: "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by "Vanilla Fudge" Oh yeah!!!
	5:52am bradford: Many thanks, Dan!
	5:52am Andrea C: ↳ Reagan NYZENRN @5:50 I am great :) turning 50 today! Dan dedicated me a new Matt Berry song! Having great convo here! This is my fav way to celebrate!
	5:52am Spikey BXL: ↳ derekleif @5:47 I would try to limit the categories as much as possible. They're quite artificial and wonky to begin with. For me it's rather mood-based, or, who it might irk if I suddenly a black metal song pops on when I have a list shuffling. You know that the WFMU quality filter has already been automatically applied.
	5:53am Andrea C: ↳ Andrea C @5:52 ps: oh yeah I published my latest release too! planned months ago to go live today!
	5:54am Strandlund: Thanks Dan!! Great show as always!!
	5:54am Reagan NYZENRN: ↳ Andrea C @5:27 ANDREA. today is your birthday!!! Best wishes for a great year. 50 is fabulous. BIG pixie for a BIG year!!
	5:55am Strandlund: ↳ Andrea C @5:27 Happy Happy B-Day Andrea!!
	5:55am Reagan NYZENRN: ↳ Andrea C @5:53 congratulations ! all that hard work. Hooray
	5:55am Andrea C: thank you Reagan! Strandlund!
	5:55am derekleif: That's actually a really good point, Spikey. Often, I make the mistake of "oversorting" things. These days it's tempting to so subdivide something that every item has its own and distinct category. Grouping them by mood is a great idea, as is, I should imagine, grouping them by time, making a brief list that is sort of a time capsule of this particular point in life. This Vanilla fudge song, for example, is my time marker of January 9, 5:55 AM EST, when Andrea celebrated her 50th birthday, and I learned a whole lot of Dutch words.
	5:55am BillyLundun: Nailed it Dan! Have a good one! Happy birthday to Andrea as well!
	5:56am derekleif: See you next week, you lovely people!
	5:56am Andrea C: Thank you Dan! Fantastic show! Thanks for all the birthday wishes! and the dedicated song!!!!!
