	⚡ ♥ 6:03am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & fred. fred do you have water yet?
	♥ 6:04am Brian D: Hello Fred... Brian... all.
	⚡ ♥ 6:04am tom tom the pipers son: good morning brian and lisreners....woke at 5:59... no alarm
	♥ 6:05am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:04 Me too!
	⚡ ♥ 6:06am fred: ↳ Brian in UK @6:03 Yep, hopefully will last longer that yesterday's one hour window. Downside is the jackhammer serenade went until at least 3am (and construction work had started at 7am yesterday). I'm a little short on sleep
	6:08am morphe': Attuned from West Kerry. Ire under an Orange wind warning due to storm Kathleen ... power/internet was out briefly ... highest wind still due ????
	♥ 6:10am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & everyone. We're at 1s & 2s here in New Zealand I guess you could say because at 2 (9 your time) we turn the clock back!
	⚡ ♥ 6:10am Brian in UK: ↳ morphe' @6:08 You timing is impeccably bad!!! Are you on the Ring of Kerry?
	⚡ ♥ 6:11am fred: On the plus side, I saw an amazing show by Amirtha Kidambi and Elder Ones (I think Brian would like her, she commented on social events/news between songs)
	♥ 6:11am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:08 Is that the Kingdom of Kerry? Stay safe.
	♥ 6:12am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:11 As long as they were interesting comments... Sorry to hear about your water troubles, Fred.
	⚡ ♥ 6:13am pgalub: Hey Brian and everyone.
	⚡ ♥ 6:13am tom tom the pipers son: was pretty much alone in berlin zoo, outside near elephants' pen. there was an elephant near me so i said a few words to it. the elephant threw a broken flower pot at me and blew trunk snot all over me...
	⚡ ♥ 6:13am Brian in UK: morphe' this is what's coming. Batten down the hatches. earth.nullschool.net...
	⚡ ♥ 6:14am Brian in UK: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:13 Watch out. www.politico.eu...
	♥ 6:15am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @6:13 Mr. Galub! Just getting home?
	♥ 6:15am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:13 I've been showered with worse.
	♥ 6:15am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:14 Spoiler alert!
	⚡ ♥ 6:17am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @6:15 Well it is kind of Jane Goodall related.
	⚡ ♥ 6:18am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone tuning in...
	⚡ ♥ 6:18am pgalub: ↳ Brian D @6:15 Haha. Just getting up.
	♥ 6:19am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @6:17 Great minds...
	♥ 6:19am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @6:18 Greetings Strand...
	⚡ ♥ 6:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian in UK @6:14 had to laugh... "three wolves being spotted in nuremberg" yes sometime between '33 and '45
	⚡ ♥ 6:21am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:12 You bet, ranging from Indian farmers struggles to American inequalities. Some attempts at French issues were not that informed (she could have skipped that), but she expressed a general support for strikes on principle, even if it hinders her tour. A very radical friend working there (he met her before the show) had high praise for her, she's the real deal. Great music too, obviously
	⚡ ♥ 6:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:15 there was a moat around the enclosure which the elephant trid testing, putting one foot out over it... it was coming for me. apparently the elephants in berlin zoo had a reputation for "naughtiness"
	♥ 6:23am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:21 Cool. I'll check her out.
	♥ 6:23am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:23 And they never forget so you may want to avoid the zoo...
	⚡ ♥ 6:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:23 i'll keep my distance, respectfully
	♥ 6:25am dday: ↳ fred @6:06 Hang in there Fred :)
	⚡ ♥ 6:25am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:23 At least they don't fly... Crows can describe foes to the next generation
	♥ 6:26am TDK60: Good morning Brian, risers.
	⚡ ♥ 6:27am fred: ↳ dday @6:25 I'm doing that, if by a thread.
	♥ 6:29am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:26 Hello TDK.
	⚡ ♥ 6:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:27 amirtha kidambi teaches at bennington
	⚡ ♥ 6:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:27 that's completely a drag...
	♥ 6:31am dday: ↳ fred @6:27 We had to go 9 days without house water awhile ago due to a snowstorm that took out power in a wide area. We live in the woods, thankfully near a lake. I had some gallon containers of store bought water so that was drinking, cooking, washing water, but I made several daily trips to the lake with 5 gal buckets for toilets. Gives you an appreciation for what those before us had to do.
	⚡ ♥ 6:33am Strandlund: I hope everyone there made it through the earthquake unscathed.
	⚡ ♥ 6:33am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:30 I went and fetched the new computer! Not sure about setting it up right now in my current brain fog (should it be Currents Brian fog?)
	⚡ ♥ 6:33am tom tom the pipers son: somewhat hopeful news from senegal this week re: election...
	♥ 6:34am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @6:33 As far as I know, yes. Was unsettling, though, to say the least.
	♥ 6:34am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:33 I almost included that in the show...
	⚡ ♥ 6:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:33 right, setting up a new computer is a daunting task and you're probably transferring data too, but congrats
	♥ 6:36am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:33 I used to dance under the name Brain Fog... now I just live it.
	⚡ ♥ 6:37am tom tom the pipers son: that's why they are called blue footed boobies, i don't know about the boobies part...
	♥ 6:38am dday: ↳ Strandlund @6:33 Crazy no? We had just arrived at a medical facility about 40 miles from the epicenter. The building really shook. They do various types of scans there CT etc. I wondered if anyone was in the "tubes" during the shaking
	⚡ ♥ 6:38am fred: ↳ dday @6:31 That's what my radical friend said too (he spends a lot of time in South America and Asia, basically brought Senyawa to the Western emisphere). I was ready to use bottled water but, unsurprisingly, the stores nearby had run out (I don't have a car or nearby body of water)
	⚡ ♥ 6:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:36 chippendales?
	♥ 6:39am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:38 I didn't make the cut.
	♥ 6:40am dday: ↳ fred @6:38 Yes we're pretty lucky the lake is nearby
	⚡ ♥ 6:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:39 because you weren't "cut"...?
	♥ 6:40am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:40 Exactly. And still not.
	⚡ ♥ 6:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:40 but you have mrs current to slip dollar bills into you g-string...
	⚡ ♥ 6:45am Brian in UK: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:42 Can we talk about elephants or earthquakes please. Bit early in the morning.
	⚡ ♥ 6:45am Strandlund: ↳ dday @6:38 I'm in Iowa and when I heard about it, I saw a little chatter on the message boards while at work. So glad to here you made it through OK.
	⚡ ♥ 6:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian in UK @6:45 ha!... okie dokey agree on what i've heard from jody's djing ...very woven together sets
	⚡ ♥ 6:51am fred: ↳ Brian in UK @6:45 We can only talk about earthquakes before the California contingent checks in, or I think they may die (of laughter)
	⚡ ♥ 6:54am Michael of Cologne: G'day Brian, Tom Tom, Fred & all from warm & sunny Cologne.
	⚡ ♥ 6:55am Brian in UK: ↳ fred @6:51 I believe that there is a whopper due some time soon.
	♥ 6:56am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:51 Very true. There are a few recovered Californians at the station who have been mocking us locals.
	♥ 6:56am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:54 Greetings Michael!
	⚡ ♥ 6:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:54 good morning michael
	⚡ ♥ 6:57am fred: ↳ Brian in UK @6:55 Did Trump place an order to Burger King? (the epicenter was near his golf course)
	⚡ ♥ 6:57am newton: Good morning Brian
	♥ 6:58am Brian D: Audrey Flack, my guest next week: www.hollistaggart.com...
	♥ 6:59am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:57 Hello Newton (Roger)!
	7:00am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.
	⚡ ♥ 7:01am Brian in UK: ↳ fred @6:57 Very good, fred. Shame they do not make a Black Hole burger he could just disappear into it.
	⚡ ♥ 7:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:58 will she be live, so we can ask questions?
	♥ 7:02am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:01 Alas, no. I don't trust my ability with the studio phone system.
	♥ 7:02am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @7:00 Good day, Cooh.
	⚡ ♥ 7:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:02 aww, too bad...
	⚡ ♥ 7:03am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:02 Can you relay questions asked beforehand (not ideal, but if tom tom has some...)
	⚡ ♥ 7:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:57 that was a good one fred, didn't even "register" at first
	⚡ ♥ 7:05am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Good morning from the dog park where we are chasing squirrels, the ball, and each other
	♥ 7:05am dday: ↳ Strandlund @6:45 Apparently there were 4 quakes in the U.S. yesterday. Two in CA, one in NJ & One in OK. Aftershocks as well of course
	⚡ ♥ 7:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:03 would kind of have to hear what she had to say first, but thanks for asking
	♥ 7:08am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:03 Well, I can do that...
	♥ 7:10am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:05 Warming up my arm for later, Not... Welcome.
	⚡ ♥ 7:10am fred: ↳ dday @7:05 And, as with football teams, the one actually in NJ was immediately claimed by NY (whenever someone asks about my many station T-shirts, I make a point of saying it's an NJ station)
	⚡ ♥ 7:10am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: WFMU has become my only source of news lately as I become increasingly hostile to the idea of being constantly "aware"
	7:11am Dan near StL: Good morning Mr. D, other early listeners, friends arrived from Denver, for the eclipse Monday, viewing forcast good so far. I will find that Goodall doc, enjoyed the others you mentioned. We had 2.8 earthquake last Friday, 6:55 pm.
	♥ 7:12am TDK60: ↳ Song: "The Distant Horizon" by "Bipolar Explorer" B.E. are station listeners, in NYC and France.
	♥ 7:13am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:10 For clarification: There are two football (with helmets) teams and both used to play in NYC but moved to NJ (to a place billed by developers as "13th Avenue"). And there's an actually football team with NY in the name that also plays its matches in NJ. Confused? Don't be. There won't be a quiz.
	♥ 7:13am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:12 Indeed they are.
	⚡ ♥ 7:13am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Brian D @7:10 We're big fans of the chuck it stick, way less effort
	⚡ ♥ 7:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:08 would be interested to hear if she could describe the changes in the artworld by decade 50's 60's 70's 80's , etc... how the artists related as a community and how the galleries changed... i know that could take the whole 3 hrs...
	♥ 7:14am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @7:11 Worth seeing. Very meditative. Good morning, Dan.
	⚡ ♥ 7:14am Brian in UK: Brian, if you were chatting to someone about 'pataphysics perhaps you could have the answers first.
	⚡ ♥ 7:15am newton: I just walked Frances; it is snowing here again
	♥ 7:15am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:13 We have them. Our dogs are a little put off by them for some reason.
	♥ 7:16am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:14 That's in her book. But I can talk to her about that, too.
	♥ 7:17am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:14 Like a good trial lawyer.
	7:17am Dan near StL: Brian, your mix is totally unique in my streaming experience. “This Is Hell” later from Northwestern U., is similar, though no music. They start with their, “Question from hell”, and have wonderful guests, political, and other topics.
	⚡ ♥ 7:17am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ newton @7:15 Your dog's name is Frances? That's lovely! We had a German Shepherd named Frances a few years back, she was a very good girl, taught her to play piano
	⚡ ♥ 7:18am Krys O.: Good morning! I felt an aftershock at home in Bloomfield last night at around 6 pm. The cats were on alert. I wonder what their reaction was to the Big One yesterday morning. I was at work and the epicenter was a half hour from my job in Roseland. In some ways, NY tried to coopt NJ's earthquake.
	⚡ ♥ 7:18am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:13 It gets worse: the only NFL team in NY is in Buffalo (kinda)
	⚡ ♥ 7:18am Brian in UK: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:13 Have to be careful where we are as the farmers are filling the fields with ewes & their lambs. So you have to check carefully before going in. Our avatar tends to want to herd them or just bark.
	⚡ ♥ 7:20am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:16 great, and if she could talk about how things changed aesthetically for artists through the decades, what aesthetic issues were paramount in each time period
	⚡ ♥ 7:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @7:18 ha! you can keep yer friggin' earthquake....;)
	♥ 7:22am TDK60: I felt the earthquake in this old 1920 building in upper Manhattan. I do have a Godzilla walker in the apartment above me. It's uninsulated between storeys, so at first I thought the person upstairs was doing a new heavy jogging in place that shook the whole building. I then said, "nah" and ran toward the center of the building. I do blame it all on NJ.
	⚡ ♥ 7:23am fred: ↳ TDK60 @7:22 NJ is not specific enough. Blame Andy, and remember that at next year's soaking
	♥ 7:25am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:18 But if you've been to Buffalo, you'd play somewhere else, too.
	⚡ ♥ 7:25am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Brian D @7:15 Well dogs can be funny like that, our Frances used to be terrified of people she knew wearing hats. If you had a hat on when you met her that's fine but if I or my partner put a hat we became someone completely different
	♥ 7:26am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:25 A friend of ours had a dog who was afraid of puffy coats.
	7:27am Dan near StL: As in puffy sleeves? Oh, ski jackets like Michelin Man.
	⚡ ♥ 7:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:26 once had a stray dog stalk me, i had a camera and took a picture of it,... scared it off
	7:29am Dan near StL: A model release, in reverse.
	7:29am Bort Simpson: Weekly reminder to make daily clicks, it is important https://arab.org/click-to-help/palestine/
	⚡ ♥ 7:29am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian ... can you ask ms flack to join the comments board?
	♥ 7:30am Chris Crisco: Dogs know when you are afraid of them. My wife is scared of dogs and they always go straight for her when we go for walks on the beach.
	⚡ ♥ 7:31am Will thee SG OCNY: good morning Brian D and all!!!
	7:32am ?: I lived in San Francisco from 1980 till 2002. Granted, I did not feel the '89 earthquake as I was driving on 101 at the time, but I felt plenty of others...and I would not laugh at yhe one yesterday. One reason was that it lasted 25 seconds. Even the '89 quake in the Bay Area only lasted 10-15 seconds.
	♥ 7:32am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @7:27 The latter.
	♥ 7:32am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:29 Sure! No promises, though.
	♥ 7:33am Brian D: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:31 Will!
	7:33am Dan near StL: My $8 B&H Photo eclipse glasses arrived damaged, but usable (I guess) yesterday.
	⚡ ♥ 7:34am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:32 right, of course.. did you see my other question...? aesthetics?
	⚡ ♥ 7:34am dale: ↳ Song: "The Crying Game" by "Mary Lewis" good morning. every version of this is so haunting.
	7:35am Dan near StL: Spaghetti Western version
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: You know an earthquake followed by an eclipse in 3 days used to be enough to topple empires. Perhaps America has lost the mandate of heaven
	♥ 7:35am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:34 Yep. Yep. No promises. I tend to get distracted when I record these things.
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am Will thee SG OCNY: I could have sworn I felt the shake. I was walking outside at work. My wife was in her office and they felt it
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dale @7:34 almost has a morricone, once upon a time feel
	⚡ ♥ 7:36am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @7:35 yes exactly
	⚡ ♥ 7:37am dale: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:35 the music over a shot of lee van cleef walking slowly away from camera in a ghost town...
	7:37am Dan near StL: When did we experience frogs, locusts hailing down, election year last?
	⚡ ♥ 7:38am tom tom the pipers son: thought i felt a couple of brief 2 sec rumbles overnight...in queens
	7:38am Dan near StL: Minus the harmonica Charles Bronson flashback
	⚡ ♥ 7:39am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Dan near StL @7:37 This summer will be a major cicada year too. I'm not sure if I'm the first to say it, but I think I'm gonna call it, death to America (parody, not legally actionable)
	7:40am Dan near StL: My favorite western opening, anything with Jack “popeye” Elam.
	7:41am Dan near StL: I’m in a “it can’t possibly happen again” mode.
	⚡ ♥ 7:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dan near StL @7:40 absolutely, a long time ago saw a new print on big screen at MOMA...memorable
	7:43am Eric the Hat: Nice
	7:43am Dan near StL: That would be a treat! I just watched back-to-back, Zulu, Zulu Dawn on YouTube. Couldn’t be more different from each other.
	⚡ ♥ 7:43am tom tom the pipers son: i think the reason these natural events are reading biblical to americans... everything we've done since 9-11
	⚡ ♥ 7:43am Krys O.: This is the USGS page for the aftershock yesterday that was centered in Gladstone, NJ: earthquake.usgs.gov...
	♥ 7:43am StringOFperils: Maybe pale blue icing, Brian. Just a suggestion.
	7:44am Dan near StL: Yes, Tom
	⚡ ♥ 7:44am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:43 I thought it was just because that's how so many of us have been raised in this near theocratic society
	7:45am Dan near StL: They said our earthquake centered 14 miles underground.
	⚡ ♥ 7:45am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Song: "Pale Blue Eyes" by "Lou Reed" I love to sing "Hazel eyes" at Mister Doctor over Lou Reed, much to my husband's annoyance
	⚡ ♥ 7:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:44 think it's just average folk feeling that wat not binle thumpers
	⚡ ♥ 7:46am newton: Happy Birthday Mrs. Currents
	7:46am Dan near StL: I love anything remotely Velvets in the morning, thank you
	♥ 7:47am Eric the Hat: ↳ Dan near StL @7:46 ❤️
	⚡ ♥ 7:47am dale: did everyone feel the 6 pm aftershock? i'm near the mt. hope region in orange county. friend closer to it who lives in wykoff said he didn't feel anything. but he could have been in his lazee-boy recliner with the vibration turned on.
	⚡ ♥ 7:48am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ dale @7:47 i did not feel 6pm shock in queens
	⚡ ♥ 7:48am newton: thre was an article, op ed really in the NYT yestrday that NYU shut down a poetry recital at Kimmel Center because of some plaestinian poets who were reading their work! ANd that NYU has added 6000 nyc police to patrol their campus. How is it that NYU can order even one nyc cop? NYU doesn't even pay taxes!
	⚡ ♥ 7:48am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:46 Yes well I don't know about everyone else but we did have to learn about manifest destiny and the apotheosis of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in secular public school here when I was a kid
	⚡ ♥ 7:49am Krys O.: ↳ dale @7:47 The link I posted above from USGS for the aftershock shows that it was felt in a wide area.
	⚡ ♥ 7:49am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:48 I felt the 6pm shock upstate
	7:49am Dan near StL: A friend wrote a play called, “Lazy Boys”, artist Ken Shorr.
	⚡ ♥ 7:50am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:48 though i wouldn't really call myself a Bible thumper, more of an escaped Orthodox Armenian
	⚡ ♥ 7:50am newton: ↳ Krys O. @7:49 usgs showed the aftershock at a depth of 9+km while the initial quake was at a depth of 4.7km
	⚡ ♥ 7:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:48 learning doesn't mean indoctrination... for everyone

	7:53am Dan near StL: I heard someone say the other day that “Frederick Douglass was the most photographed man in the 19th C.”. They had many, many examples, daguerreotypes of course. Major museums are lucky to acquire even one.
	7:54am morphe': https://www.newsbreak.com/peekskill-ny/3393423771789-officials-no-indication-of-earthquake-impact-on-decommissioned-indian-point-power-plant [previous studies say plant would suffer at a quake of 6.2] https://www.riverkeeper.org/blogs/indian-point-blogs/earthquake-reminder-indian-point-clear-present-danger/
	⚡ ♥ 7:54am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:50 Oh certainly I only mean I think that the current events feel biblical because we're all given the imagery in childhood here whether or not we take it literally, we have the ideas to work with
	⚡ ♥ 7:54am Krys O.: This link shows the milder aftershocks of yesterday's quake: earthquake.usgs.gov...

	♥ 8:08am TDK60: ↳ herb.nyc @8:04 Good morning herb.nyc. You won the tix? Great! Can I persuade you to take ear protection when you go to hear lovely Swans?
	⚡ ♥ 8:09am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @8:08 good advice
	♥ 8:09am Zinn The Mood: ↳ newton @7:48 At least we have freedom of speech/assembly…not like those other countries, right? Would have thought that after the George Floyd lynching things were moving in an anti-police way, or at least a fundamental distrust of them which led to some institutions(in Minneapolis for instance) breaking their contracts with police security on campus. NYC is still in the process of being transformed post-9/11 into a corporate and institution sprawl, thanks to Mikey Bloomberg selling out the city (or rather giving it) to his criminal country club cronies. The sprawl of NYU, Big Tech and hi-rise “luxury living” makes a mockery out of a place no longer in reach of the artists who have traditionally come and given it life. Bloomberg also let slip once infamously that the NYPD was “his private army.” This transformation has become so ubiquitous two decades later than hardly anyone notices anymore how there’s a gleaming new bank on every corner, franchise corporate chains up and down our city blocks, along with of course the ever insane price-gouging in housing and at the grocery stores/restaurants. At least in my kids’ school in Queens there have been lunchtime protest chants in the cafeteria of Free Palestine. We need an Occupy Wall St/Black Lives Matter/Union solidarity/Free Gaza movement to record this insanity. The fight remains the same as ever: it’s the 99% that needs unification, to defeat the real enemy.
	♥ 8:09am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @8:03 Yeah, part of the reason I chose it.

	8:54am morphe': Pop Group "One out of Many" Last Poets Selfish desires are burning like fires Among those who hoard the gold As they continue to keep the people asleep And the truth from being told Racism and greed keep the people in need From getting what's rightfully theirs Cheating, stealing, and double dealing As they exploit the people's fears And for a few dollars more they'd start a war To exploit some brother's mother Then there's the pyramid that stands by itself Created by Black people's knowledge and wealth And over the pyramid hangs the devil's eye And tells how they fooled the people Into thinking paper money was real Now "THESAUR" means the treasury Where they store the gold they stole And "AMER" means to punish Like the slaves they bought and sold Then "SEPTENT" means seven Like 1776 When the thirteen devils gathered To unleash their bag of tricks Then "SIGEL" means the images They've created to fool the world Like the colors on Old Glory The flag that they unfurled

	⚡ ♥ 6:06am fred: ↳ Brian in UK @6:03 Yep, hopefully will last longer that yesterday's one hour window. Downside is the jackhammer serenade went until at least 3am (and construction work had started at 7am yesterday). I'm a little short on sleep
	6:08am morphe': Attuned from West Kerry. Ire under an Orange wind warning due to storm Kathleen ... power/internet was out briefly ... highest wind still due ????
	♥ 6:10am Chris Crisco: Cheers Brian & everyone. We're at 1s & 2s here in New Zealand I guess you could say because at 2 (9 your time) we turn the clock back!
	⚡ ♥ 6:10am Brian in UK: ↳ morphe' @6:08 You timing is impeccably bad!!! Are you on the Ring of Kerry?
	⚡ ♥ 6:11am fred: On the plus side, I saw an amazing show by Amirtha Kidambi and Elder Ones (I think Brian would like her, she commented on social events/news between songs)
	♥ 6:11am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:08 Is that the Kingdom of Kerry? Stay safe.
	♥ 6:12am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:11 As long as they were interesting comments... Sorry to hear about your water troubles, Fred.
	⚡ ♥ 6:13am pgalub: Hey Brian and everyone.
	⚡ ♥ 6:13am tom tom the pipers son: was pretty much alone in berlin zoo, outside near elephants' pen. there was an elephant near me so i said a few words to it. the elephant threw a broken flower pot at me and blew trunk snot all over me...
	⚡ ♥ 6:13am Brian in UK: morphe' this is what's coming. Batten down the hatches. earth.nullschool.net...
	⚡ ♥ 6:14am Brian in UK: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:13 Watch out. www.politico.eu...

	⚡ ♥ 6:21am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:12 You bet, ranging from Indian farmers struggles to American inequalities. Some attempts at French issues were not that informed (she could have skipped that), but she expressed a general support for strikes on principle, even if it hinders her tour. A very radical friend working there (he met her before the show) had high praise for her, she's the real deal. Great music too, obviously
	⚡ ♥ 6:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:15 there was a moat around the enclosure which the elephant trid testing, putting one foot out over it... it was coming for me. apparently the elephants in berlin zoo had a reputation for "naughtiness"
	♥ 6:23am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:21 Cool. I'll check her out.
	♥ 6:23am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:23 And they never forget so you may want to avoid the zoo...

	♥ 6:26am TDK60: Good morning Brian, risers.
	⚡ ♥ 6:27am fred: ↳ dday @6:25 I'm doing that, if by a thread.
	♥ 6:29am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:26 Hello TDK.
	⚡ ♥ 6:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:27 amirtha kidambi teaches at bennington
	⚡ ♥ 6:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:27 that's completely a drag...
	♥ 6:31am dday: ↳ fred @6:27 We had to go 9 days without house water awhile ago due to a snowstorm that took out power in a wide area. We live in the woods, thankfully near a lake. I had some gallon containers of store bought water so that was drinking, cooking, washing water, but I made several daily trips to the lake with 5 gal buckets for toilets. Gives you an appreciation for what those before us had to do.
	⚡ ♥ 6:33am Strandlund: I hope everyone there made it through the earthquake unscathed.
	⚡ ♥ 6:33am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:30 I went and fetched the new computer! Not sure about setting it up right now in my current brain fog (should it be Currents Brian fog?)

	♥ 6:34am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:33 I almost included that in the show...
	⚡ ♥ 6:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:33 right, setting up a new computer is a daunting task and you're probably transferring data too, but congrats
	♥ 6:36am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:33 I used to dance under the name Brain Fog... now I just live it.
	⚡ ♥ 6:37am tom tom the pipers son: that's why they are called blue footed boobies, i don't know about the boobies part...
	♥ 6:38am dday: ↳ Strandlund @6:33 Crazy no? We had just arrived at a medical facility about 40 miles from the epicenter. The building really shook. They do various types of scans there CT etc. I wondered if anyone was in the "tubes" during the shaking
	⚡ ♥ 6:38am fred: ↳ dday @6:31 That's what my radical friend said too (he spends a lot of time in South America and Asia, basically brought Senyawa to the Western emisphere). I was ready to use bottled water but, unsurprisingly, the stores nearby had run out (I don't have a car or nearby body of water)
	⚡ ♥ 6:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:36 chippendales?
	♥ 6:39am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:38 I didn't make the cut.
	♥ 6:40am dday: ↳ fred @6:38 Yes we're pretty lucky the lake is nearby
	⚡ ♥ 6:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:39 because you weren't "cut"...?

	⚡ ♥ 7:10am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: WFMU has become my only source of news lately as I become increasingly hostile to the idea of being constantly "aware"
	7:11am Dan near StL: Good morning Mr. D, other early listeners, friends arrived from Denver, for the eclipse Monday, viewing forcast good so far. I will find that Goodall doc, enjoyed the others you mentioned. We had 2.8 earthquake last Friday, 6:55 pm.
	♥ 7:12am TDK60: ↳ Song: "The Distant Horizon" by "Bipolar Explorer" B.E. are station listeners, in NYC and France.
	♥ 7:13am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:10 For clarification: There are two football (with helmets) teams and both used to play in NYC but moved to NJ (to a place billed by developers as "13th Avenue"). And there's an actually football team with NY in the name that also plays its matches in NJ. Confused? Don't be. There won't be a quiz.

	♥ 7:17am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:14 Like a good trial lawyer.
	7:17am Dan near StL: Brian, your mix is totally unique in my streaming experience. “This Is Hell” later from Northwestern U., is similar, though no music. They start with their, “Question from hell”, and have wonderful guests, political, and other topics.
	⚡ ♥ 7:17am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ newton @7:15 Your dog's name is Frances? That's lovely! We had a German Shepherd named Frances a few years back, she was a very good girl, taught her to play piano
	⚡ ♥ 7:18am Krys O.: Good morning! I felt an aftershock at home in Bloomfield last night at around 6 pm. The cats were on alert. I wonder what their reaction was to the Big One yesterday morning. I was at work and the epicenter was a half hour from my job in Roseland. In some ways, NY tried to coopt NJ's earthquake.
	⚡ ♥ 7:18am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:13 It gets worse: the only NFL team in NY is in Buffalo (kinda)
	⚡ ♥ 7:18am Brian in UK: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:13 Have to be careful where we are as the farmers are filling the fields with ewes & their lambs. So you have to check carefully before going in. Our avatar tends to want to herd them or just bark.
	⚡ ♥ 7:20am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:16 great, and if she could talk about how things changed aesthetically for artists through the decades, what aesthetic issues were paramount in each time period
	⚡ ♥ 7:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Krys O. @7:18 ha! you can keep yer friggin' earthquake....;)
	♥ 7:22am TDK60: I felt the earthquake in this old 1920 building in upper Manhattan. I do have a Godzilla walker in the apartment above me. It's uninsulated between storeys, so at first I thought the person upstairs was doing a new heavy jogging in place that shook the whole building. I then said, "nah" and ran toward the center of the building. I do blame it all on NJ.
	⚡ ♥ 7:23am fred: ↳ TDK60 @7:22 NJ is not specific enough. Blame Andy, and remember that at next year's soaking
	♥ 7:25am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:18 But if you've been to Buffalo, you'd play somewhere else, too.
	⚡ ♥ 7:25am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Brian D @7:15 Well dogs can be funny like that, our Frances used to be terrified of people she knew wearing hats. If you had a hat on when you met her that's fine but if I or my partner put a hat we became someone completely different
	♥ 7:26am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:25 A friend of ours had a dog who was afraid of puffy coats.
	7:27am Dan near StL: As in puffy sleeves? Oh, ski jackets like Michelin Man.

	⚡ ♥ 7:31am Will thee SG OCNY: good morning Brian D and all!!!
	7:32am ?: I lived in San Francisco from 1980 till 2002. Granted, I did not feel the '89 earthquake as I was driving on 101 at the time, but I felt plenty of others...and I would not laugh at yhe one yesterday. One reason was that it lasted 25 seconds. Even the '89 quake in the Bay Area only lasted 10-15 seconds.
	♥ 7:32am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @7:27 The latter.

	7:35am Dan near StL: Spaghetti Western version
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: You know an earthquake followed by an eclipse in 3 days used to be enough to topple empires. Perhaps America has lost the mandate of heaven
	♥ 7:35am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:34 Yep. Yep. No promises. I tend to get distracted when I record these things.
	⚡ ♥ 7:35am Will thee SG OCNY: I could have sworn I felt the shake. I was walking outside at work. My wife was in her office and they felt it

	7:44am Dan near StL: Yes, Tom

	⚡ ♥ 8:09am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @8:08 good advice
	♥ 8:09am Zinn The Mood: ↳ newton @7:48 At least we have freedom of speech/assembly…not like those other countries, right? Would have thought that after the George Floyd lynching things were moving in an anti-police way, or at least a fundamental distrust of them which led to some institutions(in Minneapolis for instance) breaking their contracts with police security on campus. NYC is still in the process of being transformed post-9/11 into a corporate and institution sprawl, thanks to Mikey Bloomberg selling out the city (or rather giving it) to his criminal country club cronies. The sprawl of NYU, Big Tech and hi-rise “luxury living” makes a mockery out of a place no longer in reach of the artists who have traditionally come and given it life. Bloomberg also let slip once infamously that the NYPD was “his private army.” This transformation has become so ubiquitous two decades later than hardly anyone notices anymore how there’s a gleaming new bank on every corner, franchise corporate chains up and down our city blocks, along with of course the ever insane price-gouging in housing and at the grocery stores/restaurants. At least in my kids’ school in Queens there have been lunchtime protest chants in the cafeteria of Free Palestine. We need an Occupy Wall St/Black Lives Matter/Union solidarity/Free Gaza movement to record this insanity. The fight remains the same as ever: it’s the 99% that needs unification, to defeat the real enemy.
	♥ 8:09am Brian D: ↳ Dan near StL @8:03 Yeah, part of the reason I chose it.

	8:54am morphe': Pop Group "One out of Many" Last Poets Selfish desires are burning like fires Among those who hoard the gold As they continue to keep the people asleep And the truth from being told Racism and greed keep the people in need From getting what's rightfully theirs Cheating, stealing, and double dealing As they exploit the people's fears And for a few dollars more they'd start a war To exploit some brother's mother Then there's the pyramid that stands by itself Created by Black people's knowledge and wealth And over the pyramid hangs the devil's eye And tells how they fooled the people Into thinking paper money was real Now "THESAUR" means the treasury Where they store the gold they stole And "AMER" means to punish Like the slaves they bought and sold Then "SEPTENT" means seven Like 1776 When the thirteen devils gathered To unleash their bag of tricks Then "SIGEL" means the images They've created to fool the world Like the colors on Old Glory The flag that they unfurled
