	6:09am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:08 Yes and yes. Alas, I'm not even close to a Deadhead, so can't do a fitting tribute.
	⚡ 6:12am Bobby: Hello Brian hello listeners!
	6:13am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @6:12 Bobby! Can't sleep?! Good morning.
	⚡ 6:14am bradford: Good morning Brian & greetings to all.
	6:14am TDK60: Brian, I'm one of those odd ones who neither adores nor dislikes the Gratefuls; I feel there was /some/ good music. (Phil's most famous song: "Box of Rain" but my fave: "Unbroken Chain" from the Mars Hotel album. Maybe listen later.)
	⚡ 6:14am Bobby: ↳ Brian D @6:13 Haha yes. But when I’m up early on a Saturday, I know I can come here. Making a coffee now
	6:17am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:14 I'm in that camp, too. But you actually made me think of a song of theirs I've always liked. Will try to squeeze it in later.
	6:18am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @6:14 I'll take mine with a splash of cream. No sugar. I just got bloodwork back... yikes.
	⚡ 6:18am Spikey BXL: There are no coincidences. Am out on a stroll in the beautiful midday sun... In my Central Park 5 t-shirt imgur.com...
	6:20am Brian D: ↳ Spikey BXL @6:18 Now THAT'S something! Nicely done.
	6:20am fred: Hello Brian and all
	6:21am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:20 Fred! Bonjour.
	⚡ 6:25am William Hellfire: Erin and I just watched Lemora directed by Dick Blackburn who frequents the WFMU record fair and has filled in for Rex on Fools. We held a screening for Lemora at Cinema village east with Dick. We all wore Vampire capes. So much fun. Capes on teeth in!
	6:26am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:25 That sounds great. He hasn't done a fill-in in a long time, unless I'm forgetting...
	⚡ 6:28am William Hellfire: ↳ Brian D @6:26 Yeah it was a while ago. Have you read his book Record Weasels? It's really good about record collectors.
	6:32am TDK60: ↳ Spikey BXL @6:18 Spikey: Good for you for sportin' that T-shirt. How did ya get such all the way over there, a bit east of NYC?
	6:35am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:28 Haven't. Will check it out. I know more than a few "record weasels."
	6:35am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and all!! My internet finally came back up!!
	⚡ 6:36am Michael of Cologne: G'day Brian & all.
	6:37am Barbie: Good morning Brian!
	6:38am Brian D: Strand! Michael! Barbie! Connected and respected.
	⚡ 6:40am Spikey BXL: ↳ TDK60 @6:32 I had heard of this before from touring bands and being on tour in the States myself. So when I saw the documentary and learned there was merch, for lack of better word, in support, I got myself a shirt. Hiya Teeds
	6:49am Katharsis: hellos
	⚡ 6:51am Bobby: Good Patti Smith joke. I also like the early morning city light and air
	6:52am TDK60: Thanks Spikey. You toured here. What's the name of your band? I recall when an infamous, reactionary real estate mogul called for their execution. I never liked that mogul. Still don't.
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @6:51 I try to bring a little levity...
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Katharsis @6:49 Good morning Katharsis.
	6:56am Brian D: Next week's guest: www.anasamoylova.com
	6:58am rich in angleton: good morning brian and my fellow radio listeners worldwide!
	7:00am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @6:58 Rich!!!
	⚡ 7:00am WR: Hello Brian D and folks.
	⚡ 7:01am Spikey BXL: ↳ TDK60 @6:52 My skills aren't musical, mainly TM sometimes combined with driving. US was with Lengt'che and Aborted. Metal/grindcore bands.
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ WR @7:00 Good morning, WR.
	⚡ 7:02am Spikey BXL: *tour management (grown-up nursery is an apt description of it)
	7:05am TDK60: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:02 Hee hee. A sort of musical camp counselor. Thanks.
	⚡ 7:06am tom tom the pipers son: hello brian ...all
	7:06am dale: morning. i saw barbara passed a couple days ago. what a pistol!
	7:07am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Trouble In Mind" by "Barbara Dane" RIP to Barbara Dane, lefty blues, folk, protest singer. Her Paredon Records is now part of the Smithsonian Folkways label.
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:06 Hey Tom Tom. Welcome aboard.
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:06 Greetings, Dale. Yes, a true legend.
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:07 Also RIP singer/songwriter Libby Titus, who penned "Love Has No Pride."
	⚡ 7:11am William Hellfire: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:02 Hahaha!
	⚡ 7:12am tom tom the pipers son: not to form a conga line but....gary indiana RIP
	⚡ 7:13am NotARealDoctor: Good morning Brian D. Good morning fellow riders of the Currents. Just getting to the dog park now, we slept late this morning
	7:13am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "۴ (Track 4)" by "Duo Falak" This doesn't have a star to click.
	⚡ 7:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fredericks @7:13 might be due to artist request
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @7:13 You're right. Weird.
	7:18am TDK60: ↳ Song: "What's Become of the Baby?" by "Grateful Dead" This is surely an odd, "out" one. Oh, this is WFMU. More coffee....
	7:19am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:18 Did you expect "Casey Jones?"
	⚡ 7:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "What's Become of the Baby?" by "Grateful Dead" this reminds me of "rosemary", my favorite dead song
	7:19am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:15 There has to be at least one English character for the star to appear. Maybe put something like (track x, with the actual track number) after the title
	7:21am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:19 Ah, I didn't know that, Fred. Thank you.
	⚡ 7:21am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "What's Become of the Baby?" by "Grateful Dead" Where's Butterman?!?!?
	7:21am TDK60: ↳ Brian D @7:19 Not at all. This is WFMU. Hee! Back in a moment with more (unlaced) coffee....
	7:23am the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "What's Become of the Baby?" by "Grateful Dead" RIP Phil Lesh. Excellent (and very WFMU) choice of deeeep cut! The other stations can play "Box of Rain", THIS points to Phil's pre-Grateful Dead involvement with avant-garde composition and sound art (studying alongside Steve Reich, under Lucio Berio, etc. Mills College scene)
	⚡ 7:23am tom tom the pipers son: ah...fred gets a clicky star....
	7:24am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:21 Looks like "۴" actually means "4", so you could even remove the "track" part
	⚡ 7:27am William Hellfire: Rip Ignore Lorre. She used to sing to me in the car.
	7:27am TDK60: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @7:23 Howdy Hurston moor-elf! Yes.
	7:29am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @7:27 I plan to play a track of hers later...
	7:29am fred: ↳ fred @7:24 It looks more like Persian or Urdu than Cyrillic
	7:30am Toothgrinder Tom: I can’t believe I went to bed at the top of the ninth inning in yesterday’s game, thinking it was all over.
	7:30am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:29 They're from Russia... So I was guessing. I'm hardly a cunning linguist.
	7:31am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:30 I fell asleep, too, Tom.
	7:32am Toothgrinder Tom: It’s ok to fall asleep; I actually chose to go to bed and missed history being made.
	7:33am Toothgrinder Tom: Not to mention (and more importantly) seeing the Yanks snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
	⚡ 7:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Hold My Soul" by "Bipolar Explorer" reminding me of the beginning of teenage riot
	⚡ 7:35am Spikey BXL: Thanks Brian and nice day to you and all listening, have to jet.
	7:36am Brian D: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:35 Have a great one, Spikey.
	7:37am fred: ↳ Song: "Hold My Soul" by "Bipolar Explorer" One of listener Sylvia's projects
	⚡ 7:38am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and everyone.
	⚡ 7:38am tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry A Feathered Murder Mystery at 10,000 Feet Shows How to Recreate the Biggest Beauty Trends at Home With Call Out to a Religious Comeback That Ignites Cultural Firestorm With Risks Unique to Women in a Stark New Ballet Which Takes Over the Stage About How Cheerleading Became So Acrobatic, Dangerous and Popular in Ancient Cities Unearthed in the Mountains
	7:39am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:38 Greetings, Peter.
	7:40am Brian D: "A Religious Comeback That Ignites Cultural Firestorm." Is there any other kind?
	⚡ 7:42am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Song: "Alchemia" by "Hypnodrone Ensemble" This one has really got me feeling this morning
	⚡ 7:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:40 that's true..."with risks unique to women" par for that course too
	⚡ 7:45am tom tom the pipers son: original nyt headline was "are we ready for a religious comeback" which sounded like an invitation for it
	7:46am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:42 Good morning, NotAReal. Record is fantastic.
	7:47am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:43 Yes, sadly. Did you happen to see this in your NYT explorations? www.nytimes.com...
	7:50am fred: ↳ Song: "Clip: DW-Israel targets Lebanese city of Tyre" Two days ago, I saw a loud demonstration for Lebanon and against Israel. Pro-Palestine demonstrations are banned in France, but the Lebanese community is significant, and tends to be from upper middle class to rich, so politicians tread carefully
	⚡ 7:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:47 i did...and didn't know what to make of it... ithink it may have been published before conflict with lebanon escalated....but it is like the articles on palestinian desserts that happened months ago but more perverse
	⚡ 7:52am William Hellfire: Ignore called me one day and asked if one of my bands could play a 4th of July party in her back yard. My band Armageddon Gospel Revival played an instrumental set opening for Keith Morris backed by N J rock band Shierk Circus. Two people from screw Magazine were the only audience. total blast hanging with Keith...black flag circle jerks!!!
	⚡ 7:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:50 apparently france backing both lebanon and israel in war...right?
	7:53am N: Is everyone just streaming online? I haven't been able to get FMU on the radio for two days :(
	7:54am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Pale Spectator Takes Photographs" by "Godspeed Yo... I'm doing chores around the house. I came over to say this band sounds influenced by GY!BE. Hee.
	7:54am newton: good morning brian
	7:54am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:51 It was certainly written beforehand... But the interviewer's comment before the question "To my mind those posts didn’t meet the moral tenor of the moment. " That really ticked me off, for a lot of reasons.
	7:55am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 France backs anyone willing to buy weapons. War is good for that business, and that business is doing well these days. Though Lebanon acts more as middlemen to clear sales to states that are under official "sanctions"
	⚡ 7:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:54 i'll go back...i didn't really read it
	7:57am Brian D: ↳ N @7:53 I've been able to get the signal... Reposition your antenna?
	7:57am Brian D: ↳ newton @7:54 Hey Newton! Going to the dog Halloween thing today or are you upstate?
	7:58am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:56 You didn't miss anything. I wouldn't bother.
	⚡ 7:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:55 right...so selling to lebanon has been a longstanding situation...
	⚡ 7:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:58 👌
	8:01am N: ↳ Brian D @7:57 No luck on 91.9 sadly :( the light on my radio shows it's tuned to the station but it's just absolutely silent, no sound at all
	⚡ 8:01am tom tom the pipers son: oh...mono...have stayed consistent to their sound...saw them back in the day
	8:02am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:58 Lebanon was a major clearinghouse for sales to South Africa when anti-apartheid sanctions were supposedly in plan. Later it was Iran. Likely Russia now
	⚡ 8:02am newton: I am upstate, working on turning the second bathroom into a darkroom, wil be in town tuesday for some meetings &...
	8:02am Brian D: ↳ N @8:01 Too bad. Anybody else?
	⚡ 8:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:02 thx for the info, fred.
	8:03am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @7:54 I have wondered before if Mono was influenced by GY!BE. Maybe it's merely coincidental. [?]
	8:03am fred: ↳ Song: "Times Goes By" by "Mono" Nice segue from GY!BE, Mono eveb sounds like early GYBE! (before the exclamation point moved)
	⚡ 8:05am Bobby: Streaming in South Jersey, don’t know how FM is doing today
	⚡ 8:06am tom tom the pipers son: mono originally on tzadik
	⚡ 8:09am Will thee SG OCNY: I'm in the 90.1 listening area. I don't know about 91.9 area. N says he has silence, can anyone else confirm the NYC transmitter status?
	⚡ 8:11am tom tom the pipers son: don't think a was aware of godspeed when i became aware of mono, but thought there was plenty in the japanese scene that their sound could have evolved from
	8:11am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:06 I tend to confuse them with Monno, a Swiss noise band that had creative packaging: I have on CD in a heavy, partly corroded metal case held in place by a big screw
	8:11am dale: i love ed kuepper's solo stuff. 'sleepyhead' is a great song!
	⚡ 8:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:11 ha! nice packaging
	⚡ 8:12am William Hellfire: Today's Ghouls Paradise 1-3!!!
	8:13am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:11 Godspeed were probably well aware of that, given that their name comes from a Japanese biker film
	⚡ 8:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:13 oh...i forgot about that...
	8:14am TDK60: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @8:09 Good morning, Will. 9.11 FM in NYC is fine. I figure it's WMFU with the other numbers in Upstate New York.
	⚡ 8:14am Will thee SG OCNY: I texted Staysh about 91.9
	⚡ 8:15am Marley P. Dogg: Good morning Brian D and friends! Happy weekend!
	⚡ 8:15am tom tom the pipers son: going back up to 80 degrees later next week apparently
	8:16am pgalub: Hey Brian and everyone.
	⚡ 8:16am Will thee SG OCNY: 90.1 upstate is good
	8:16am Brian D: Marley! Pete! Will! (And thanks, Will.)
	⚡ 8:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Sad, Lonely Orphan Boy" by "The Beachnuts" does have a v.u. flava
	8:17am N: Thanks everyone!
	8:18am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:13 A thing that cracks me up is that Constellation almost always has a full-page ad in n+1
	⚡ 8:20am newton: ↳ Song: "Sad, Lonely Orphan Boy" by "The Beachnuts" I thought they were singing, "semi neurotic boy"
	⚡ 8:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:18 i'm afraid i'm not getting your reference points...but don't waste your typing on me
	8:21am Brian D: ↳ newton @8:20 That's my theme song.
	⚡ 8:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @8:20 was thinking song was about warhol even though he very much had a mama..
	8:25am radioronan: Good morning Brian and all..easing back into real time listening after a month or so, away. Bless the archives. Reason to pledge with next paycheck!
	8:26am WSJ: He loves us
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ radioronan @8:25 Greetings, Ronan. Welcome back to IRL.
	8:27am Brian D: ↳ WSJ @8:26 I assume you mean Matthew Sweet...
	8:28am WSJ: ↳ Brian D @8:27 I hope so
	8:29am Brian D: ↳ WSJ @8:28 Me too. Good morning.

	⚡ 8:32am William Hellfire: Why don't we all collectively which him into the corn field.
	8:33am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @8:31 Thank you, Herb (true).
	8:33am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:21 Constellation is Godspeed's label. n+1 is a literary journal (ads there are usually small and for small press)
	⚡ 8:33am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Clip: CNN-Central Park Five sue Trump for defamat... That Donald, wotta mothertrucker! Plus, a nyt article said the five people prefer to be called The Exonerated Five. Good point
	8:34am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @8:31 The station could use the support. We're just over 70% to the goal. I'd love to get to 35 pledges by the end of the show.
	8:34am fred: ↳ herb.nyc @8:33 Didn't one of them get elected to a city or borough council?
	8:35am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:34 City Council. Yes, last year.
	⚡ 8:35am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @8:34 We hear ya, Brian. And may 5 will get you (& wfmu) 10, and 10 will get you (& wfmu) 20!
	8:37am radioronan: Worked this record for Matthew and label when it came out.. www.gofundme.com...

	⚡ 8:41am Marley P. Dogg: Pledge people!
	8:41am Brian D: 2 more!!!
	8:42am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:35 I guess he could advocate for the "death penalty" for Trump org (revoking its business license), but he's a better person than that
	⚡ 8:42am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: OK... the T-shirt tractor beam sucked me in. Great show, Brian.
	⚡ 8:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Can Not Be Satisfied" by "Titus Andronicus" thought this was alice cooper

	6:07am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers.

	6:08am Brian D: ↳ Cooh John @6:07 Greetings, Cooh.
	6:09am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:08 Yes and yes. Alas, I'm not even close to a Deadhead, so can't do a fitting tribute.
	⚡ 6:12am Bobby: Hello Brian hello listeners!
	6:13am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @6:12 Bobby! Can't sleep?! Good morning.
	⚡ 6:14am bradford: Good morning Brian & greetings to all.
	6:14am TDK60: Brian, I'm one of those odd ones who neither adores nor dislikes the Gratefuls; I feel there was /some/ good music. (Phil's most famous song: "Box of Rain" but my fave: "Unbroken Chain" from the Mars Hotel album. Maybe listen later.)
	⚡ 6:14am Bobby: ↳ Brian D @6:13 Haha yes. But when I’m up early on a Saturday, I know I can come here. Making a coffee now
	6:17am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:14 I'm in that camp, too. But you actually made me think of a song of theirs I've always liked. Will try to squeeze it in later.
	6:18am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @6:14 I'll take mine with a splash of cream. No sugar. I just got bloodwork back... yikes.
	⚡ 6:18am Spikey BXL: There are no coincidences. Am out on a stroll in the beautiful midday sun... In my Central Park 5 t-shirt imgur.com...
	6:20am Brian D: ↳ Spikey BXL @6:18 Now THAT'S something! Nicely done.
	6:20am fred: Hello Brian and all
	6:21am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:20 Fred! Bonjour.
	⚡ 6:25am William Hellfire: Erin and I just watched Lemora directed by Dick Blackburn who frequents the WFMU record fair and has filled in for Rex on Fools. We held a screening for Lemora at Cinema village east with Dick. We all wore Vampire capes. So much fun. Capes on teeth in!
	6:26am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:25 That sounds great. He hasn't done a fill-in in a long time, unless I'm forgetting...
	⚡ 6:28am William Hellfire: ↳ Brian D @6:26 Yeah it was a while ago. Have you read his book Record Weasels? It's really good about record collectors.
	6:32am TDK60: ↳ Spikey BXL @6:18 Spikey: Good for you for sportin' that T-shirt. How did ya get such all the way over there, a bit east of NYC?
	6:35am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:28 Haven't. Will check it out. I know more than a few "record weasels."
	6:35am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and all!! My internet finally came back up!!
	⚡ 6:36am Michael of Cologne: G'day Brian & all.
	6:37am Barbie: Good morning Brian!
	6:38am Brian D: Strand! Michael! Barbie! Connected and respected.
	⚡ 6:40am Spikey BXL: ↳ TDK60 @6:32 I had heard of this before from touring bands and being on tour in the States myself. So when I saw the documentary and learned there was merch, for lack of better word, in support, I got myself a shirt. Hiya Teeds
	6:49am Katharsis: hellos
	⚡ 6:51am Bobby: Good Patti Smith joke. I also like the early morning city light and air
	6:52am TDK60: Thanks Spikey. You toured here. What's the name of your band? I recall when an infamous, reactionary real estate mogul called for their execution. I never liked that mogul. Still don't.
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Bobby @6:51 I try to bring a little levity...
	6:56am Brian D: ↳ Katharsis @6:49 Good morning Katharsis.
	6:56am Brian D: Next week's guest: www.anasamoylova.com
	6:58am rich in angleton: good morning brian and my fellow radio listeners worldwide!
	7:00am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @6:58 Rich!!!
	⚡ 7:00am WR: Hello Brian D and folks.
	⚡ 7:01am Spikey BXL: ↳ TDK60 @6:52 My skills aren't musical, mainly TM sometimes combined with driving. US was with Lengt'che and Aborted. Metal/grindcore bands.
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ WR @7:00 Good morning, WR.
	⚡ 7:02am Spikey BXL: *tour management (grown-up nursery is an apt description of it)
	7:05am TDK60: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:02 Hee hee. A sort of musical camp counselor. Thanks.
	⚡ 7:06am tom tom the pipers son: hello brian ...all
	7:06am dale: morning. i saw barbara passed a couple days ago. what a pistol!
	7:07am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Trouble In Mind" by "Barbara Dane" RIP to Barbara Dane, lefty blues, folk, protest singer. Her Paredon Records is now part of the Smithsonian Folkways label.
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:06 Hey Tom Tom. Welcome aboard.
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:06 Greetings, Dale. Yes, a true legend.
	7:11am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:07 Also RIP singer/songwriter Libby Titus, who penned "Love Has No Pride."
	⚡ 7:11am William Hellfire: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:02 Hahaha!
	⚡ 7:12am tom tom the pipers son: not to form a conga line but....gary indiana RIP
	⚡ 7:13am NotARealDoctor: Good morning Brian D. Good morning fellow riders of the Currents. Just getting to the dog park now, we slept late this morning
	7:13am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "۴ (Track 4)" by "Duo Falak" This doesn't have a star to click.
	⚡ 7:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fredericks @7:13 might be due to artist request
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @7:13 You're right. Weird.
	7:18am TDK60: ↳ Song: "What's Become of the Baby?" by "Grateful Dead" This is surely an odd, "out" one. Oh, this is WFMU. More coffee....
	7:19am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:18 Did you expect "Casey Jones?"
	⚡ 7:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "What's Become of the Baby?" by "Grateful Dead" this reminds me of "rosemary", my favorite dead song
	7:19am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:15 There has to be at least one English character for the star to appear. Maybe put something like (track x, with the actual track number) after the title
	7:21am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:19 Ah, I didn't know that, Fred. Thank you.
	⚡ 7:21am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "What's Become of the Baby?" by "Grateful Dead" Where's Butterman?!?!?
	7:21am TDK60: ↳ Brian D @7:19 Not at all. This is WFMU. Hee! Back in a moment with more (unlaced) coffee....
	7:23am the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "What's Become of the Baby?" by "Grateful Dead" RIP Phil Lesh. Excellent (and very WFMU) choice of deeeep cut! The other stations can play "Box of Rain", THIS points to Phil's pre-Grateful Dead involvement with avant-garde composition and sound art (studying alongside Steve Reich, under Lucio Berio, etc. Mills College scene)
	⚡ 7:23am tom tom the pipers son: ah...fred gets a clicky star....
	7:24am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:21 Looks like "۴" actually means "4", so you could even remove the "track" part
	⚡ 7:27am William Hellfire: Rip Ignore Lorre. She used to sing to me in the car.
	7:27am TDK60: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @7:23 Howdy Hurston moor-elf! Yes.
	7:29am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @7:27 I plan to play a track of hers later...
	7:29am fred: ↳ fred @7:24 It looks more like Persian or Urdu than Cyrillic
	7:30am Toothgrinder Tom: I can’t believe I went to bed at the top of the ninth inning in yesterday’s game, thinking it was all over.
	7:30am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:29 They're from Russia... So I was guessing. I'm hardly a cunning linguist.
	7:31am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:30 I fell asleep, too, Tom.
	7:32am Toothgrinder Tom: It’s ok to fall asleep; I actually chose to go to bed and missed history being made.
	7:33am Toothgrinder Tom: Not to mention (and more importantly) seeing the Yanks snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
	⚡ 7:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Hold My Soul" by "Bipolar Explorer" reminding me of the beginning of teenage riot
	⚡ 7:35am Spikey BXL: Thanks Brian and nice day to you and all listening, have to jet.
	7:36am Brian D: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:35 Have a great one, Spikey.
	7:37am fred: ↳ Song: "Hold My Soul" by "Bipolar Explorer" One of listener Sylvia's projects
	⚡ 7:38am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Brian and everyone.
	⚡ 7:38am tom tom the pipers son: Not NYT Junk Poetry A Feathered Murder Mystery at 10,000 Feet Shows How to Recreate the Biggest Beauty Trends at Home With Call Out to a Religious Comeback That Ignites Cultural Firestorm With Risks Unique to Women in a Stark New Ballet Which Takes Over the Stage About How Cheerleading Became So Acrobatic, Dangerous and Popular in Ancient Cities Unearthed in the Mountains
	7:39am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:38 Greetings, Peter.
	7:40am Brian D: "A Religious Comeback That Ignites Cultural Firestorm." Is there any other kind?
	⚡ 7:42am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Song: "Alchemia" by "Hypnodrone Ensemble" This one has really got me feeling this morning
	⚡ 7:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:40 that's true..."with risks unique to women" par for that course too
	⚡ 7:45am tom tom the pipers son: original nyt headline was "are we ready for a religious comeback" which sounded like an invitation for it
	7:46am Brian D: ↳ NotARealDoctor @7:42 Good morning, NotAReal. Record is fantastic.
	7:47am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:43 Yes, sadly. Did you happen to see this in your NYT explorations? www.nytimes.com...
	7:50am fred: ↳ Song: "Clip: DW-Israel targets Lebanese city of Tyre" Two days ago, I saw a loud demonstration for Lebanon and against Israel. Pro-Palestine demonstrations are banned in France, but the Lebanese community is significant, and tends to be from upper middle class to rich, so politicians tread carefully
	⚡ 7:51am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:47 i did...and didn't know what to make of it... ithink it may have been published before conflict with lebanon escalated....but it is like the articles on palestinian desserts that happened months ago but more perverse
	⚡ 7:52am William Hellfire: Ignore called me one day and asked if one of my bands could play a 4th of July party in her back yard. My band Armageddon Gospel Revival played an instrumental set opening for Keith Morris backed by N J rock band Shierk Circus. Two people from screw Magazine were the only audience. total blast hanging with Keith...black flag circle jerks!!!
	⚡ 7:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:50 apparently france backing both lebanon and israel in war...right?
	7:53am N: Is everyone just streaming online? I haven't been able to get FMU on the radio for two days :(
	7:54am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Pale Spectator Takes Photographs" by "Godspeed Yo... I'm doing chores around the house. I came over to say this band sounds influenced by GY!BE. Hee.
	7:54am newton: good morning brian
	7:54am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:51 It was certainly written beforehand... But the interviewer's comment before the question "To my mind those posts didn’t meet the moral tenor of the moment. " That really ticked me off, for a lot of reasons.
	7:55am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:53 France backs anyone willing to buy weapons. War is good for that business, and that business is doing well these days. Though Lebanon acts more as middlemen to clear sales to states that are under official "sanctions"
	⚡ 7:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:54 i'll go back...i didn't really read it
	7:57am Brian D: ↳ N @7:53 I've been able to get the signal... Reposition your antenna?
	7:57am Brian D: ↳ newton @7:54 Hey Newton! Going to the dog Halloween thing today or are you upstate?
	7:58am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:56 You didn't miss anything. I wouldn't bother.
	⚡ 7:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:55 right...so selling to lebanon has been a longstanding situation...
	⚡ 7:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:58 👌
	8:01am N: ↳ Brian D @7:57 No luck on 91.9 sadly :( the light on my radio shows it's tuned to the station but it's just absolutely silent, no sound at all
	⚡ 8:01am tom tom the pipers son: oh...mono...have stayed consistent to their sound...saw them back in the day
	8:02am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:58 Lebanon was a major clearinghouse for sales to South Africa when anti-apartheid sanctions were supposedly in plan. Later it was Iran. Likely Russia now
	⚡ 8:02am newton: I am upstate, working on turning the second bathroom into a darkroom, wil be in town tuesday for some meetings &...
	8:02am Brian D: ↳ N @8:01 Too bad. Anybody else?
	⚡ 8:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:02 thx for the info, fred.
	8:03am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @7:54 I have wondered before if Mono was influenced by GY!BE. Maybe it's merely coincidental. [?]
	8:03am fred: ↳ Song: "Times Goes By" by "Mono" Nice segue from GY!BE, Mono eveb sounds like early GYBE! (before the exclamation point moved)
	⚡ 8:05am Bobby: Streaming in South Jersey, don’t know how FM is doing today
	⚡ 8:06am tom tom the pipers son: mono originally on tzadik
	⚡ 8:09am Will thee SG OCNY: I'm in the 90.1 listening area. I don't know about 91.9 area. N says he has silence, can anyone else confirm the NYC transmitter status?
	⚡ 8:11am tom tom the pipers son: don't think a was aware of godspeed when i became aware of mono, but thought there was plenty in the japanese scene that their sound could have evolved from
	8:11am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:06 I tend to confuse them with Monno, a Swiss noise band that had creative packaging: I have on CD in a heavy, partly corroded metal case held in place by a big screw
	8:11am dale: i love ed kuepper's solo stuff. 'sleepyhead' is a great song!
	⚡ 8:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:11 ha! nice packaging
	⚡ 8:12am William Hellfire: Today's Ghouls Paradise 1-3!!!
	8:13am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:11 Godspeed were probably well aware of that, given that their name comes from a Japanese biker film
	⚡ 8:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:13 oh...i forgot about that...
	8:14am TDK60: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @8:09 Good morning, Will. 9.11 FM in NYC is fine. I figure it's WMFU with the other numbers in Upstate New York.
	⚡ 8:14am Will thee SG OCNY: I texted Staysh about 91.9
	⚡ 8:15am Marley P. Dogg: Good morning Brian D and friends! Happy weekend!
	⚡ 8:15am tom tom the pipers son: going back up to 80 degrees later next week apparently
	8:16am pgalub: Hey Brian and everyone.
	⚡ 8:16am Will thee SG OCNY: 90.1 upstate is good
	8:16am Brian D: Marley! Pete! Will! (And thanks, Will.)
	⚡ 8:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Sad, Lonely Orphan Boy" by "The Beachnuts" does have a v.u. flava
	8:17am N: Thanks everyone!
	8:18am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:13 A thing that cracks me up is that Constellation almost always has a full-page ad in n+1
	⚡ 8:20am newton: ↳ Song: "Sad, Lonely Orphan Boy" by "The Beachnuts" I thought they were singing, "semi neurotic boy"
	⚡ 8:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:18 i'm afraid i'm not getting your reference points...but don't waste your typing on me
	8:21am Brian D: ↳ newton @8:20 That's my theme song.
	⚡ 8:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @8:20 was thinking song was about warhol even though he very much had a mama..
	8:25am radioronan: Good morning Brian and all..easing back into real time listening after a month or so, away. Bless the archives. Reason to pledge with next paycheck!
	8:26am WSJ: He loves us
	8:26am Brian D: ↳ radioronan @8:25 Greetings, Ronan. Welcome back to IRL.
	8:27am Brian D: ↳ WSJ @8:26 I assume you mean Matthew Sweet...

	8:33am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:21 Constellation is Godspeed's label. n+1 is a literary journal (ads there are usually small and for small press)
	⚡ 8:33am herb.nyc: ↳ Song: "Clip: CNN-Central Park Five sue Trump for defamat... That Donald, wotta mothertrucker! Plus, a nyt article said the five people prefer to be called The Exonerated Five. Good point
	8:34am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @8:31 The station could use the support. We're just over 70% to the goal. I'd love to get to 35 pledges by the end of the show.
	8:34am fred: ↳ herb.nyc @8:33 Didn't one of them get elected to a city or borough council?
	8:35am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:34 City Council. Yes, last year.
	⚡ 8:35am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @8:34 We hear ya, Brian. And may 5 will get you (& wfmu) 10, and 10 will get you (& wfmu) 20!

	8:41am Brian D: 2 more!!!
	8:42am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:35 I guess he could advocate for the "death penalty" for Trump org (revoking its business license), but he's a better person than that
	⚡ 8:42am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: OK... the T-shirt tractor beam sucked me in. Great show, Brian.
	⚡ 8:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Can Not Be Satisfied" by "Titus Andronicus" thought this was alice cooper
