Listener comments!
	⚡ 6:05am tom tom the pipers son: i didn't fly in from any where, but boy, are my arms tired and the rest of me too... a round about way to say good morning brian and listeners
	6:06am Brian D: Good morning Tom Tom. And all. Feeling foggy as well. This could be interesting.
	6:09am Fredericks: Really liked the opening song.
	6:14am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Right Off" by "Miles Davis" Is that Sharrock or McLaughlin?
	⚡ 6:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Right Off" by "Miles Davis" this might be the most pop miles davis ever got until of course later on, but he did do bye bye blacbird too
	6:17am Dave in Vermont: ↳ Fredericks @6:14 www.discogs.com...
	6:17am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @6:14 McLaughlin
	6:20am Toothgrinder Tom: Tuning in …
	6:24am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:17 I know Sharrock was an uncredited contributer to the sessions. From Pitchfork: "The band, which here features Miles, Corea, Holland, DeJohnette, bass clarinetist Bernie Maupin, and guitarists John McLaughlin and Sonny Sharrock, set up a downbeat-heavy groove that reminds me of Funkadelic's "Music for Your Mother", if much less drugged-out."
	6:26am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @6:24 Huh. Didn't know that. But doesn't surprise me.
	⚡ 6:26am tom tom the pipers son: hurray for the two georgia elections workers...:))
	6:27am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:17 You were right about this piece though: "Miles re-entered the studio with McLaughlin, Cobham, Grossman and Mike Henderson, a teenage bassist from Aretha Franklin's band, to record "Right Off" "
	6:29am TDK60: Good morning, Brian, et al. This is how you spell: genocide.
	⚡ 6:29am tom tom the pipers son: don't remember these keys... an alternate take?
	6:29am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @6:27 It has McLaughlin's signature sound. But the record has some Sharrock vibes to it for sure. Can't go wrong with either of them, to be fair.
	6:31am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:29 Nope. The original record.
	⚡ 6:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:31 oh, just didn't sound familiar...
	⚡ 6:34am tom tom the pipers son: this is coolhere isolated drums and guitar
	⚡ 6:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @6:29 good morning tdk, do you know about yeshayahu leibowitz? interesting chap
	6:39am moephe': Attuned !!!!
	⚡ 6:43am tom tom the pipers son: civil disobedience in iran www.nytimes.com...
	6:44am TDK60: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:38 Good day, tom tom. No, I haven't. I will look soon...
	6:44am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:43 Thanks for sharing Tom Tom. Paywalled here at the station but I'll read it on my phone.
	6:44am Brian D: ↳ moephe' @6:39 Greetings Morphe.
	⚡ 6:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:44 ah right
	⚡ 6:46am tom tom the pipers son: A Viral Dance and ‘Happiness Campaign’ Frustrates Iran’s Clerics It all started when a 70-year-old fish market stall owner nicknamed “Booghy” was grooving in public, in violation of Iranian law.
	6:46am Toothgrinder Tom: @tom tom the mullahs backed down from their soul crushing!
	⚡ 6:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:46 hopefully a tide is turning
	6:50am TDK60: I'm sorry to hear you had a rough week, DJ Brian. Hopefully Saturday today will be more easy.
	6:51am Toothgrinder Tom: Their soul-crushing war on happiness, I should say.
	6:51am morphe': ↳ Brian D @6:44 Thanks for spelling my name right ... re: echo effect - met a fellow listener, super intelligent and thoughtful - he stated "I don't listen to DJs who use echo..."
	6:51am Doug in MP: ↳ Brian D @6:44 Free link to that NYT piece here, Brian archive.is...
	6:52am Toothgrinder Tom: @tom tom I think they’re weaker than they’ve ever been. Would love to see them consigned to the ash heap of history.
	6:53am Toothgrinder Tom: Maybe Santa can help.
	⚡ 6:54am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian hope you have a nice weekend, your dogs will probably enjoy the warm weather today, maybe spend some time with them
	6:54am fred: Good morning Brian and all
	⚡ 6:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:52 yes, and there are so many other 'mullahs' around the globe
	6:57am Reagan NY ZEN RN: Good morning Brian. Try reading to him. or use music. Bring a pet to visit. Throw a small rubber ball back and forth. Keep visiting!
	6:57am morphe': What is the family name of yer friend - if ok to say, but perhaps not...
	6:58am Robm: morning fellow listeners howdy reagan
	6:59am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Robm @6:58 Good morning Robm. Nice to see you on a Saturday. :)
	⚡ 6:59am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Right Off" by "Miles Davis" Thanks for the Miles, Brian, and good noonday to all from a Cologne struggling to brighten up.
	7:00am Brian D: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @6:57 All great ideas, Reagan. I bring the Currents Canine Contingent (my two dogs) when I visit. Unfortunately, music upsets him now. Something about the sound. Reading may work, though. Thank you!
	⚡ 7:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "No Agreement" by "Fela Kuti" this is uplifting
	7:01am Bonnie Prince Jamie: Music is definitely a good idea, both my grandmas had dementia and even in later stages would sharpen up slightly when hearing music from their youth. Good on you for still visiting him Brian, even though it can be difficult I’m sure he appreciates the company.
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:54 That's the plan, Tom Tom. Cheers.
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:54 Belated greetings, Fred.
	7:01am dday: Hi Brian. Having been bedside for both my parents illnesses & subsequent passings, two years apart, just being there is the most important thing. No one wants to feel forgotten and illness so isolates anyone that loneliness is the worst thing for someone facing the inevitable. It's really hard but hang in there
	⚡ 7:01am tom tom the pipers son: hello michael...
	7:02am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:57 I'd rather not say in a public forum, Morphe. His family is very private.
	7:02am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:00 Fela's music is always uplifting. His words not so much, especially when you realize most are still relevant today
	7:02am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:59 Michael!
	7:02am morphe': ↳ Brian D @7:02 Sitting with the sick and dying is really difficult and leaving the room for the day/eve brings heavy feelings ... Re: privacy -Understood ...
	7:03am Brian D: ↳ Bonnie Prince Jamie @7:01 Thanks for saying so, BPJ. I hope you're right.
	⚡ 7:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:02 yes, hi fred...
	7:03am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone tuned in...
	7:03am Toothgrinder Tom: Speaking of joy, here’s Fela!
	7:03am lanky: My experience with elders with cognitive decline (both parents) s that their memory for anything that happened after they hit about 70 is for bullocks. However, earlier life memories, even childhood seem to be deeply rooted and can light them up. Engage them to speak of their earlier life.
	7:03am Toothgrinder Tom: Dance, New Jersey. dance NOW!
	7:03am Brian D: ↳ dday @7:01 Cheers, dday.
	7:04am Doug in MP: Beautiful pink and blue skies over north jersey right now
	7:04am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:03 Greetings, Strand.
	7:04am Robm: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @6:59 same here reagan, are you going to listen to scott-oz radio show today on the rock and soul stream?
	7:05am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers. Any good news?
	7:05am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Brian D @7:00 Brian. Have you seen the movie Awakenings? Please remember your friend is very much still there. Be with him as he is. Keep bringing light into his life. He will miss you when you don't
	7:06am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Robm @7:04 I don't know. tell me more!! Please
	7:06am morphe': As Lanky said ... early memories Yeah ... we gave an uncle a selected photo album and that was really stimulating and helpful ...
	7:06am Brian D: ↳ lanky @7:03 Lanky, yes, those early memories of his time in Ireland were always good fodder. Sadly, those seem to have gone as well.
	7:06am fred: ↳ Song: "No Agreement" by "Fela Kuti" Is that foreshadowing a segment about the shameful COP28?
	7:07am Brian D: ↳ Robm @7:04 Ooooh. I didn't know Scotty was doing that again. Will check that out.
	7:07am Robm: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @7:06 it is on from 6 to 7 on the rock and soul stream, which is internet only
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:06 Ha! No. Just letting Fela be Fela. We could all use it, it seems.
	⚡ 7:09am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:06 would perhaps be better if song title was 'business as usual'
	7:09am rich in angleton: it must be Saturday! hey Brian!! good morning my fellow radio listeners.
	7:10am TDK60: Hola Morphe. Are ya in the dusty country, or the wet one?
	7:10am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:09 Rich!
	7:12am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Robm @7:07 I think I will try that on for size. Thank you! What's going on for y ou today?
	7:13am morphe': TDK ... still in Kerry, but to Madrid Monday .. I'm with Simon for the holidays !!!! He reminds me of both my mother and myself. When asked, what do ya want for xmas or the Three King's Day(more significant for kids in Spain), he replies: "I don't care ..."
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:13 Where in Kerry if you don't mind my asking, morphe? Friend's parents from Tralee.
	7:16am Dave in Vermont: one of my favorite RS songs
	7:16am Robm: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @7:12 nothing much watching some college football today between radio programs
	⚡ 7:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "CNA-Myanmar becomes world’s leading poppy producer" story reminds me of a story related be listener hyperdose about illegally operated chinese owned pot farms growing toxic pot in oklahoma...mob involvement too
	⚡ 7:20am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Sway" by "Rolling Stones" Wears well.
	7:20am fred: @Brian: Would playing "Rudie can't fail" be appropriate about someone who doesn't have brew for breakfast, but something stronger? He's sure getting pressed til he hurts (to my applause)
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:18 chines mob
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:20 was feeling it too
	7:22am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:20 I do enjoy that song. We'll see.
	7:24am morphe': ↳ Brian D @7:16 Dingle area, my mother and father came from here, but I spent a lot of time in Tralee as a kid; an auntie married Sonny Tagney, the town tailor... Ask about him and my Auntie Margaret Tagney (nee'Flynn)... both well known in the town = he being The Tailor and she being a super chatty character in the street ...
	7:25am TDK60: Who grows the poppies that are legally used in medicines? I also heard that poppy production did very well in Afghanistan under U.S. military occupation. But I never really looked into it.
	7:25am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:24 Will do! The Dingle. Doesn't get much prettier than that.
	7:26am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:25 Opiate painkillers (eg, morphine). Afghanistan -- 1 in 5 males addicted to heroin as of 2018. So yeah, it thrived during the occupation.
	7:26am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Robm @7:16 enjoy the games. looking forward to any game in particular?
	⚡ 7:27am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:22 Hi Tom Tom; nice to share a feeling. If music is quivering to a vibe, these vibes are resonate with a specific time. No wonder there are such big differences in what music a given generation resonates with.
	7:28am Ted K: Really enjoying waking up to this selection of music!
	7:30am radioronan: Good morning to you, Brian..and all other time zone, greetings to those out there!
	7:30am morphe': ↳ Brian D @7:26 Lonely Planet at one point said, "the only good thing about Tralee is that it leads to the road that takes you to the Dingle Peninsula..." Pretty accurate ...
	7:30am Robm: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @7:26 whichever strikes my fancy
	7:32am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:30 Funny. I was at a Celtic match with the friend and we were talking to some fellows from Kerry. He said, "My parents are from Tralee." They said, "I'm sorry."
	⚡ 7:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:27 true, but music new to me resonates just as much, guess those early memories are a base, not so fond of other stones songs though
	⚡ 7:41am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:32 That implies that the resonance with music is individuated, and each music comes from the moods of a time making their way to music. If that's so, then we'd have to say that time itself quivers in a whole range of moods? Some of them make it to music with which some of us resonate, others not so much.
	⚡ 7:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:41 this resonated with me last night... do check it out... relativepitchrecords.bandcamp.com...
	7:48am tonyb: The writing credit on Jimi’s take of “Killing Floor”? Chester Burnett?
	⚡ 7:48am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "World People" by "Sunwatchers" at first, not looking at playlist, was thinking this was lost mothers of invention song
	7:51am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe’ can you easily find peanut butter for sale in Ireland? And do you know a brand of Irish tea called ‘Barry’s’?
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ tonyb @7:48 Yessir.
	7:54am Toothgrinder Tom: What about that weird story about the English kid who had been missing for 6 years found wandering around southern France in the rain late at night? His mother and grandfather abducted him when he was eleven and he ended up living in some kind of religious commune. He’ll be reunited with his family in the U.K. now.
	⚡ 7:54am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Been lurking for a bit. Good morning Brian and everyone.
	⚡ 7:55am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & devotees. Still getting used to the new time slot.
	⚡ 7:55am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "No More Coffins" by "Myrrs" Some places you are lucky to get a coffin.
	7:55am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:54 Very strange story. Sadly, seems all too common.
	7:55am tonyb: ✅ thanks. Hope the Wolf got the check in the mail & never sold/lost his songwriting ownership…
	7:56am fred: I never got The Stones. I like a handful of songs at most, but I give them credit for the Monty Python ad: youtu.be...
	7:56am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:54 Good day Peter.
	7:56am TDK60: So, the fascistic prime minister of Italy, Meloni, a woman, and the Pope are suddenly feminists. Right.
	7:56am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:55 Me too, Brian. Great to "see" you.
	7:56am ghost of No el el frijoles: I’m Not Here ! 🫥
	⚡ 7:56am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:45 Thnx. Unfortunately won't play in my browser.
	⚡ 7:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:56 oh, too bad
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:56 early/mid teen years was really into them, but weren't on radar anymore by senior year of h.s.
	8:03am Panther: BAD!!!! This is so cool!!
	8:04am Toothgrinder Tom: @fred I never cared much for them until I started listening to their album ‘Afternath’ quite a lot. (From the Brian Jones era.) Then all bets were off.
	8:05am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:56 Just referenced that in conversation the other day.
	⚡ 8:05am Brian in UK: ↳ morphe' @7:30 Years ago the Irish were the butt of jokes & folks from Kerry were the butt of rish peoples jokes. Think the same thing happened in Europe with Belgians.
	8:06am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 I wasn't into the music much, but the money grabbing and lawsuits really turned me away. A friend skipped the high school graduation exam to see their "farewell" tour... in 1990
	⚡ 8:07am Michael of Cologne: ↳ fred @7:56 Thems the moodful vibes of time -- individually selective with whom to resonate. Thanx for Stones vid.
	8:08am fred: ↳ Brian in UK @8:05 Belgians are the butt of jokes in France (there's even a phrase or it! "histoire belge"). But I think the French get more jokes everywhere (being insufferable can do that)
	8:09am fred: ↳ fred @8:08 for, not or
	8:09am rich in angleton: re BAD... first of all I always say the best way to listen to BAD is their remixes/dubs.. did you watch the don letts documentary Brian?
	8:10am McGroovey: I'm here. I come to you this morning from Fair Haven, NY, on the shoes I meant shores of lovely Lake Ontario, which is half in Canada, but I'm not. It's half in Canada, but I'm not. It's half in Canada, but I'm not. Yippee-ya-yo-ka-yay. I wish I were in Canada, where the geese come from. I wish I were in Canada, where there is no sun. I wish I were in Canada, where it never rains. I wish I were in Canada, where it always rains. I wish I were in Canada, where King Charles reigns. I wish I were in Canada, where Donald cannot. So far.
	8:12am Juli: Whatever Depeche Mode. Lol
	8:12am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @8:09 Not yet, Rich. We did watch Nan Goldin's doc "All the Beauty and the Bloodshed" last night, though. Which I highly recommend.
	8:13am Brian D: ↳ McGroovey @8:10 Good morning, McGroovey. I like that verse, though I'm not sure I'd take Charles, even above Trump.
	⚡ 8:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:06 yes later on it was obvious they were a depleted entity. their earlier business struggles with allen klein were something different than their later cynicism
	8:14am moniker: In the beginning of B.A.D. , I was so crestfallen that was the direction Mick Jones wanted to go … I supposed it was sort of a continuation of “This is Radio Clash” 12” vibes - which I was on the fence about at first , then leaned to appreciate it. Now that the bright white glow of the Clash is so far behind us - perhaps I will finally get on the B.A.D. ghost train.
	⚡ 8:15am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:58 Will try again later on my smart phone.
	8:16am MarginWalker in Baltimore: ↳ fred @7:56 I like some of their old old stuff - Paint It Black, etc. I feel like after a certain point, they started sounding like a generic rock band
	⚡ 8:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @8:15 its evan parker 1978 first u.s. trip
	8:16am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:12 I remember Nan Goldin's work being always unflinching, honest, and getting universal through the personal. I once met someone she had pictured, and it weirdly wasn't weird, because Goldin never faked
	8:17am moniker: Judas by Depeche Mode = ha heh ha heh ; Depeche’s take on Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me (yet) ….?!
	8:20am fred: ↳ moniker @8:17 I don't think it could be worse than Tom Waits (though Bryars did this, I hate it)
	⚡ 8:20am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:16 Something new for my ears. Gotta go buy some milk.
	8:20am TDK60: ↳ MarginWalker in Baltimore @8:16 I dig the early Rollings, up to the "Beggar's Banquet" album roughly. Even though they were mainly imitative blues/R&B rock. Then I tired of the rich rockstar junky clown stuff around the time of "Let It Bleed." But there was even good later music.
	8:20am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:16 Her work is that way, as is her character.
	8:21am morphe': ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:51 Peanut Butter all over Ireland ... even most wee towns have a "Health Food Store" for good brands and most/all biggish supermarkets have a "Health Food" aisle with good stock.. Barry's and Lyons are the two contenders ... my fav was Hughes, but it disappeared in the late 80s - one suggestion ... loose tea not tea bags ... the bags get the dust ....
	8:23am MarginWalker in Baltimore: ↳ TDK60 @8:20 I'm sure a big part of why I like that era is due to my dad playing them a good bit when I was growing up.
	⚡ 8:23am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ MarginWalker in Baltimore @8:16 IMHO, the live album "Get Yer Ya-yas Out" was the Stones' apogee. Were they like any other rock band? Probably. But they did it better than anyone else.
	8:24am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe’ yeah true re the loose leaves - it makes quite a difference.
	⚡ 8:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:20 the exploitation...?
	8:25am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @8:21 morphe': I can find Barry's tea in NYC. Bags.
	8:26am moniker: Nan Goldin docu - lucky to have seen in theatre - excellent and heartbreaking…at least a bit triumphant
	8:27am morphe': ps .. Loose tea in a pot or measuring jug or anything - not stuffed in a metal tea "thingy" where it does not properly steep .. one heaping teaspoon per mug/person and "one for the pot" if ya want a good cup..also, heat the pot and the mugs too ... also, milk goes after to judge the quantity needed ... Milk before tea is a wonky practice...
	8:28am Toothgrinder Tom: Good to know re the peanut butter, if ever I return there.
	⚡ 8:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @8:25 meyer's of keswick?
	8:28am TDK60: I have been crying for ya, Argentina.
	8:28am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @8:25 Porto Rico has it.
	8:29am Toothgrinder Tom: I’m kind of addicted to it at this point (the peanut butter). I know some people in Europe look down at it.
	8:30am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:25 No, the dissonance... getting a well-known guy to play homeless because of the roughness of his voice, while the original voice wasn't that rough. I felt like Bryars had stopped listening and let a sick narrative get in the way
	⚡ 8:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:28 do they still have store in east village?
	8:30am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe’ copied and pasted for later reference, thanks for your sage advice!
	8:31am morphe': ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @8:29 Peanut butter is eaten widly= IRE, UK, Continent, just not with jam ... honey or Marmite [huuuurrrrrrlll] in the UK ..
	8:31am TDK60: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:28 tom tom: I find Barry's in a few places. Fairway, etc. I've also been down to Myer's but to get my Marmite!
	⚡ 8:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:30 oh, i did not know it was an 'actor'
	8:32am Toothgrinder Tom: @TDK60 me too; the sandwich shop that sells them has an Irish owner and I just wanted to check that this brand really was Ireland’s favorite. (Because you never know.)
	8:33am morphe': TDK...??? Marmite! ???? Oh yes, you have done the Festival circuit ..
	8:33am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe’ maybe it’s just the French who have a visceral reaction against it (or some of them at least).
	8:34am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:32 Which one? Waits was acting, the original recording was from an actual homeless guy, Bryars said he tried to find him when Eno released the record, but was told he had died
	8:35am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @8:33 morphe': It's true. At least I don't like...pork rinds.
	⚡ 8:35am Brian in UK: Jimmy Miller's influence in the late 60s/early 70s work is vital. First time hearing Jumpin' Jack Flash, that intensity of sound was compelling.
	⚡ 8:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:34 yes, when is/was waits not acting.... a sad story
	8:38am TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @8:35 Hiya, Brian. "Jack" was a new loud sound, then! Same with "Have You Seen Your Mother Standing in the Shadow?"
	⚡ 8:38am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Fine Art of Self-Destruction (Lonely Process)... Thought this was John Murry for a minute.
	8:38am morphe': I do like the original "jesus' Blood" and do believe it was a street recording that was part of a larger Bryars' audio/streetscape project? There was an FMU dj with a slot who did [only did/] his show from the street = 90s - early 2s??
	⚡ 8:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:37 a sad story about the homeless man
	⚡ 8:40am Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @8:38 Think 'Have You Seen....' is wonderful. Full brass & all.
	8:40am morphe': Heard that Charlie Watts said something disdainful about having to look at Mick's ass for so much of his life ... [apochrypha][sp?]
	8:40am Andres: ↳ Song: "Who Loves The Sun" by "The Feelies" Good morning. A beaut to wake up to! :)
	8:41am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @8:38 *correct: "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?"
	8:41am Barbie: Hi Brian thanks for yet another great show
	⚡ 8:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ morphe' @8:40 watts said something about 5 yrs of work 25 yrs of hanging out in the 80's
	⚡ 8:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:41 meaning they were only creative for five years
	8:43am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:39 I've been around the arts world too long to not feel cynical about the origin story though. Though a young artist with a breakthrough would be the most likely to seek out someone who made it possible. An even mildly successful one, no way
	⚡ 8:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:43 u huh
	8:46am dale: morning, been lurking. really enjoying this set. the jesse malin was lovely.
	⚡ 8:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Fairytale Of New York" by "Glen Hansard and Lisa ... betcha there were a coupla people crying, just a few
	8:50am fred: Like: there was a woman busking near my workplace for years, playing a single note. I went to a show in an arts museum and heard that note! I eventually found a video of her sitting in a more picturesque place. The piece probably fetched thousands, she might have got 20
	8:51am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:45 My previous comment was meant for you

	8:52am McGroovey: ↳ morphe' @8:40 I good-natured comment can turn into a disdainful rant in the retelling.

	9:00am McGroovey: ↳ morphe' @8:51 Never heard of that priest, didn't need to. And my Microgroovies I meant McGroovey s (autocorrect!) haven't been Catholic since my grandpa to the priest to "get the f### off my f###ing porch" (true story!), by I think an Irish icon deserves a good send-off.

Listener comments!
	⚡ 6:05am tom tom the pipers son: i didn't fly in from any where, but boy, are my arms tired and the rest of me too... a round about way to say good morning brian and listeners
	6:06am Brian D: Good morning Tom Tom. And all. Feeling foggy as well. This could be interesting.
	6:09am Fredericks: Really liked the opening song.
	6:14am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Right Off" by "Miles Davis" Is that Sharrock or McLaughlin?
	⚡ 6:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Right Off" by "Miles Davis" this might be the most pop miles davis ever got until of course later on, but he did do bye bye blacbird too
	6:17am Dave in Vermont: ↳ Fredericks @6:14 www.discogs.com...
	6:17am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @6:14 McLaughlin
	6:20am Toothgrinder Tom: Tuning in …
	6:24am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:17 I know Sharrock was an uncredited contributer to the sessions. From Pitchfork: "The band, which here features Miles, Corea, Holland, DeJohnette, bass clarinetist Bernie Maupin, and guitarists John McLaughlin and Sonny Sharrock, set up a downbeat-heavy groove that reminds me of Funkadelic's "Music for Your Mother", if much less drugged-out."
	6:26am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @6:24 Huh. Didn't know that. But doesn't surprise me.
	⚡ 6:26am tom tom the pipers son: hurray for the two georgia elections workers...:))
	6:27am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @6:17 You were right about this piece though: "Miles re-entered the studio with McLaughlin, Cobham, Grossman and Mike Henderson, a teenage bassist from Aretha Franklin's band, to record "Right Off" "
	6:29am TDK60: Good morning, Brian, et al. This is how you spell: genocide.
	⚡ 6:29am tom tom the pipers son: don't remember these keys... an alternate take?
	6:29am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @6:27 It has McLaughlin's signature sound. But the record has some Sharrock vibes to it for sure. Can't go wrong with either of them, to be fair.
	6:31am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:29 Nope. The original record.
	⚡ 6:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:31 oh, just didn't sound familiar...
	⚡ 6:34am tom tom the pipers son: this is coolhere isolated drums and guitar
	⚡ 6:38am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @6:29 good morning tdk, do you know about yeshayahu leibowitz? interesting chap
	6:39am moephe': Attuned !!!!
	⚡ 6:43am tom tom the pipers son: civil disobedience in iran www.nytimes.com...
	6:44am TDK60: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:38 Good day, tom tom. No, I haven't. I will look soon...
	6:44am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:43 Thanks for sharing Tom Tom. Paywalled here at the station but I'll read it on my phone.
	6:44am Brian D: ↳ moephe' @6:39 Greetings Morphe.
	⚡ 6:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @6:44 ah right
	⚡ 6:46am tom tom the pipers son: A Viral Dance and ‘Happiness Campaign’ Frustrates Iran’s Clerics It all started when a 70-year-old fish market stall owner nicknamed “Booghy” was grooving in public, in violation of Iranian law.
	6:46am Toothgrinder Tom: @tom tom the mullahs backed down from their soul crushing!
	⚡ 6:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:46 hopefully a tide is turning
	6:50am TDK60: I'm sorry to hear you had a rough week, DJ Brian. Hopefully Saturday today will be more easy.
	6:51am Toothgrinder Tom: Their soul-crushing war on happiness, I should say.
	6:51am morphe': ↳ Brian D @6:44 Thanks for spelling my name right ... re: echo effect - met a fellow listener, super intelligent and thoughtful - he stated "I don't listen to DJs who use echo..."
	6:51am Doug in MP: ↳ Brian D @6:44 Free link to that NYT piece here, Brian archive.is...
	6:52am Toothgrinder Tom: @tom tom I think they’re weaker than they’ve ever been. Would love to see them consigned to the ash heap of history.
	6:53am Toothgrinder Tom: Maybe Santa can help.
	⚡ 6:54am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian hope you have a nice weekend, your dogs will probably enjoy the warm weather today, maybe spend some time with them
	6:54am fred: Good morning Brian and all
	⚡ 6:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:52 yes, and there are so many other 'mullahs' around the globe
	6:57am Reagan NY ZEN RN: Good morning Brian. Try reading to him. or use music. Bring a pet to visit. Throw a small rubber ball back and forth. Keep visiting!
	6:57am morphe': What is the family name of yer friend - if ok to say, but perhaps not...
	6:58am Robm: morning fellow listeners howdy reagan
	6:59am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Robm @6:58 Good morning Robm. Nice to see you on a Saturday. :)
	⚡ 6:59am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Right Off" by "Miles Davis" Thanks for the Miles, Brian, and good noonday to all from a Cologne struggling to brighten up.
	7:00am Brian D: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @6:57 All great ideas, Reagan. I bring the Currents Canine Contingent (my two dogs) when I visit. Unfortunately, music upsets him now. Something about the sound. Reading may work, though. Thank you!
	⚡ 7:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "No Agreement" by "Fela Kuti" this is uplifting
	7:01am Bonnie Prince Jamie: Music is definitely a good idea, both my grandmas had dementia and even in later stages would sharpen up slightly when hearing music from their youth. Good on you for still visiting him Brian, even though it can be difficult I’m sure he appreciates the company.
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:54 That's the plan, Tom Tom. Cheers.
	7:01am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:54 Belated greetings, Fred.
	7:01am dday: Hi Brian. Having been bedside for both my parents illnesses & subsequent passings, two years apart, just being there is the most important thing. No one wants to feel forgotten and illness so isolates anyone that loneliness is the worst thing for someone facing the inevitable. It's really hard but hang in there
	⚡ 7:01am tom tom the pipers son: hello michael...
	7:02am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:57 I'd rather not say in a public forum, Morphe. His family is very private.
	7:02am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:00 Fela's music is always uplifting. His words not so much, especially when you realize most are still relevant today
	7:02am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:59 Michael!
	7:02am morphe': ↳ Brian D @7:02 Sitting with the sick and dying is really difficult and leaving the room for the day/eve brings heavy feelings ... Re: privacy -Understood ...
	7:03am Brian D: ↳ Bonnie Prince Jamie @7:01 Thanks for saying so, BPJ. I hope you're right.
	⚡ 7:03am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:02 yes, hi fred...
	7:03am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone tuned in...
	7:03am Toothgrinder Tom: Speaking of joy, here’s Fela!
	7:03am lanky: My experience with elders with cognitive decline (both parents) s that their memory for anything that happened after they hit about 70 is for bullocks. However, earlier life memories, even childhood seem to be deeply rooted and can light them up. Engage them to speak of their earlier life.
	7:03am Toothgrinder Tom: Dance, New Jersey. dance NOW!
	7:03am Brian D: ↳ dday @7:01 Cheers, dday.
	7:04am Doug in MP: Beautiful pink and blue skies over north jersey right now
	7:04am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:03 Greetings, Strand.
	7:04am Robm: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @6:59 same here reagan, are you going to listen to scott-oz radio show today on the rock and soul stream?
	7:05am Cooh John: Good morning Brian and current eventers. Any good news?
	7:05am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Brian D @7:00 Brian. Have you seen the movie Awakenings? Please remember your friend is very much still there. Be with him as he is. Keep bringing light into his life. He will miss you when you don't
	7:06am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Robm @7:04 I don't know. tell me more!! Please
	7:06am morphe': As Lanky said ... early memories Yeah ... we gave an uncle a selected photo album and that was really stimulating and helpful ...
	7:06am Brian D: ↳ lanky @7:03 Lanky, yes, those early memories of his time in Ireland were always good fodder. Sadly, those seem to have gone as well.
	7:06am fred: ↳ Song: "No Agreement" by "Fela Kuti" Is that foreshadowing a segment about the shameful COP28?
	7:07am Brian D: ↳ Robm @7:04 Ooooh. I didn't know Scotty was doing that again. Will check that out.
	7:07am Robm: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @7:06 it is on from 6 to 7 on the rock and soul stream, which is internet only
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:06 Ha! No. Just letting Fela be Fela. We could all use it, it seems.
	⚡ 7:09am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:06 would perhaps be better if song title was 'business as usual'
	7:09am rich in angleton: it must be Saturday! hey Brian!! good morning my fellow radio listeners.
	7:10am TDK60: Hola Morphe. Are ya in the dusty country, or the wet one?
	7:10am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @7:09 Rich!
	7:12am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Robm @7:07 I think I will try that on for size. Thank you! What's going on for y ou today?
	7:13am morphe': TDK ... still in Kerry, but to Madrid Monday .. I'm with Simon for the holidays !!!! He reminds me of both my mother and myself. When asked, what do ya want for xmas or the Three King's Day(more significant for kids in Spain), he replies: "I don't care ..."
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:13 Where in Kerry if you don't mind my asking, morphe? Friend's parents from Tralee.
	7:16am Dave in Vermont: one of my favorite RS songs
	7:16am Robm: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @7:12 nothing much watching some college football today between radio programs
	⚡ 7:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "CNA-Myanmar becomes world’s leading poppy producer" story reminds me of a story related be listener hyperdose about illegally operated chinese owned pot farms growing toxic pot in oklahoma...mob involvement too
	⚡ 7:20am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Sway" by "Rolling Stones" Wears well.
	7:20am fred: @Brian: Would playing "Rudie can't fail" be appropriate about someone who doesn't have brew for breakfast, but something stronger? He's sure getting pressed til he hurts (to my applause)
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:18 chines mob
	⚡ 7:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:20 was feeling it too
	7:22am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:20 I do enjoy that song. We'll see.
	7:24am morphe': ↳ Brian D @7:16 Dingle area, my mother and father came from here, but I spent a lot of time in Tralee as a kid; an auntie married Sonny Tagney, the town tailor... Ask about him and my Auntie Margaret Tagney (nee'Flynn)... both well known in the town = he being The Tailor and she being a super chatty character in the street ...
	7:25am TDK60: Who grows the poppies that are legally used in medicines? I also heard that poppy production did very well in Afghanistan under U.S. military occupation. But I never really looked into it.
	7:25am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:24 Will do! The Dingle. Doesn't get much prettier than that.
	7:26am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:25 Opiate painkillers (eg, morphine). Afghanistan -- 1 in 5 males addicted to heroin as of 2018. So yeah, it thrived during the occupation.
	7:26am Reagan NY ZEN RN: ↳ Robm @7:16 enjoy the games. looking forward to any game in particular?
	⚡ 7:27am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:22 Hi Tom Tom; nice to share a feeling. If music is quivering to a vibe, these vibes are resonate with a specific time. No wonder there are such big differences in what music a given generation resonates with.
	7:28am Ted K: Really enjoying waking up to this selection of music!
	7:30am radioronan: Good morning to you, Brian..and all other time zone, greetings to those out there!
	7:30am morphe': ↳ Brian D @7:26 Lonely Planet at one point said, "the only good thing about Tralee is that it leads to the road that takes you to the Dingle Peninsula..." Pretty accurate ...
	7:30am Robm: ↳ Reagan NY ZEN RN @7:26 whichever strikes my fancy
	7:32am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @7:30 Funny. I was at a Celtic match with the friend and we were talking to some fellows from Kerry. He said, "My parents are from Tralee." They said, "I'm sorry."
	⚡ 7:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:27 true, but music new to me resonates just as much, guess those early memories are a base, not so fond of other stones songs though
	⚡ 7:41am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:32 That implies that the resonance with music is individuated, and each music comes from the moods of a time making their way to music. If that's so, then we'd have to say that time itself quivers in a whole range of moods? Some of them make it to music with which some of us resonate, others not so much.
	⚡ 7:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:41 this resonated with me last night... do check it out... relativepitchrecords.bandcamp.com...
	7:48am tonyb: The writing credit on Jimi’s take of “Killing Floor”? Chester Burnett?
	⚡ 7:48am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "World People" by "Sunwatchers" at first, not looking at playlist, was thinking this was lost mothers of invention song
	7:51am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe’ can you easily find peanut butter for sale in Ireland? And do you know a brand of Irish tea called ‘Barry’s’?
	7:51am Brian D: ↳ tonyb @7:48 Yessir.
	7:54am Toothgrinder Tom: What about that weird story about the English kid who had been missing for 6 years found wandering around southern France in the rain late at night? His mother and grandfather abducted him when he was eleven and he ended up living in some kind of religious commune. He’ll be reunited with his family in the U.K. now.
	⚡ 7:54am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Been lurking for a bit. Good morning Brian and everyone.
	⚡ 7:55am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & devotees. Still getting used to the new time slot.
	⚡ 7:55am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "No More Coffins" by "Myrrs" Some places you are lucky to get a coffin.
	7:55am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:54 Very strange story. Sadly, seems all too common.
	7:55am tonyb: ✅ thanks. Hope the Wolf got the check in the mail & never sold/lost his songwriting ownership…
	7:56am fred: I never got The Stones. I like a handful of songs at most, but I give them credit for the Monty Python ad: youtu.be...
	7:56am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:54 Good day Peter.
	7:56am TDK60: So, the fascistic prime minister of Italy, Meloni, a woman, and the Pope are suddenly feminists. Right.
	7:56am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @7:55 Me too, Brian. Great to "see" you.
	7:56am ghost of No el el frijoles: I’m Not Here ! 🫥
	⚡ 7:56am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:45 Thnx. Unfortunately won't play in my browser.
	⚡ 7:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:56 oh, too bad
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:56 early/mid teen years was really into them, but weren't on radar anymore by senior year of h.s.
	8:03am Panther: BAD!!!! This is so cool!!
	8:04am Toothgrinder Tom: @fred I never cared much for them until I started listening to their album ‘Afternath’ quite a lot. (From the Brian Jones era.) Then all bets were off.
	8:05am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:56 Just referenced that in conversation the other day.
	⚡ 8:05am Brian in UK: ↳ morphe' @7:30 Years ago the Irish were the butt of jokes & folks from Kerry were the butt of rish peoples jokes. Think the same thing happened in Europe with Belgians.
	8:06am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:02 I wasn't into the music much, but the money grabbing and lawsuits really turned me away. A friend skipped the high school graduation exam to see their "farewell" tour... in 1990
	⚡ 8:07am Michael of Cologne: ↳ fred @7:56 Thems the moodful vibes of time -- individually selective with whom to resonate. Thanx for Stones vid.
	8:08am fred: ↳ Brian in UK @8:05 Belgians are the butt of jokes in France (there's even a phrase or it! "histoire belge"). But I think the French get more jokes everywhere (being insufferable can do that)
	8:09am fred: ↳ fred @8:08 for, not or
	8:09am rich in angleton: re BAD... first of all I always say the best way to listen to BAD is their remixes/dubs.. did you watch the don letts documentary Brian?
	8:10am McGroovey: I'm here. I come to you this morning from Fair Haven, NY, on the shoes I meant shores of lovely Lake Ontario, which is half in Canada, but I'm not. It's half in Canada, but I'm not. It's half in Canada, but I'm not. Yippee-ya-yo-ka-yay. I wish I were in Canada, where the geese come from. I wish I were in Canada, where there is no sun. I wish I were in Canada, where it never rains. I wish I were in Canada, where it always rains. I wish I were in Canada, where King Charles reigns. I wish I were in Canada, where Donald cannot. So far.
	8:12am Juli: Whatever Depeche Mode. Lol
	8:12am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @8:09 Not yet, Rich. We did watch Nan Goldin's doc "All the Beauty and the Bloodshed" last night, though. Which I highly recommend.
	8:13am Brian D: ↳ McGroovey @8:10 Good morning, McGroovey. I like that verse, though I'm not sure I'd take Charles, even above Trump.
	⚡ 8:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:06 yes later on it was obvious they were a depleted entity. their earlier business struggles with allen klein were something different than their later cynicism
	8:14am moniker: In the beginning of B.A.D. , I was so crestfallen that was the direction Mick Jones wanted to go … I supposed it was sort of a continuation of “This is Radio Clash” 12” vibes - which I was on the fence about at first , then leaned to appreciate it. Now that the bright white glow of the Clash is so far behind us - perhaps I will finally get on the B.A.D. ghost train.
	⚡ 8:15am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:58 Will try again later on my smart phone.
	8:16am MarginWalker in Baltimore: ↳ fred @7:56 I like some of their old old stuff - Paint It Black, etc. I feel like after a certain point, they started sounding like a generic rock band
	⚡ 8:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @8:15 its evan parker 1978 first u.s. trip
	8:16am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:12 I remember Nan Goldin's work being always unflinching, honest, and getting universal through the personal. I once met someone she had pictured, and it weirdly wasn't weird, because Goldin never faked
	8:17am moniker: Judas by Depeche Mode = ha heh ha heh ; Depeche’s take on Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me (yet) ….?!
	8:20am fred: ↳ moniker @8:17 I don't think it could be worse than Tom Waits (though Bryars did this, I hate it)
	⚡ 8:20am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:16 Something new for my ears. Gotta go buy some milk.
	8:20am TDK60: ↳ MarginWalker in Baltimore @8:16 I dig the early Rollings, up to the "Beggar's Banquet" album roughly. Even though they were mainly imitative blues/R&B rock. Then I tired of the rich rockstar junky clown stuff around the time of "Let It Bleed." But there was even good later music.
	8:20am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:16 Her work is that way, as is her character.
	8:21am morphe': ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:51 Peanut Butter all over Ireland ... even most wee towns have a "Health Food Store" for good brands and most/all biggish supermarkets have a "Health Food" aisle with good stock.. Barry's and Lyons are the two contenders ... my fav was Hughes, but it disappeared in the late 80s - one suggestion ... loose tea not tea bags ... the bags get the dust ....
	8:23am MarginWalker in Baltimore: ↳ TDK60 @8:20 I'm sure a big part of why I like that era is due to my dad playing them a good bit when I was growing up.
	⚡ 8:23am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ MarginWalker in Baltimore @8:16 IMHO, the live album "Get Yer Ya-yas Out" was the Stones' apogee. Were they like any other rock band? Probably. But they did it better than anyone else.
	8:24am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe’ yeah true re the loose leaves - it makes quite a difference.
	⚡ 8:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:20 the exploitation...?
	8:25am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @8:21 morphe': I can find Barry's tea in NYC. Bags.
	8:26am moniker: Nan Goldin docu - lucky to have seen in theatre - excellent and heartbreaking…at least a bit triumphant
	8:27am morphe': ps .. Loose tea in a pot or measuring jug or anything - not stuffed in a metal tea "thingy" where it does not properly steep .. one heaping teaspoon per mug/person and "one for the pot" if ya want a good cup..also, heat the pot and the mugs too ... also, milk goes after to judge the quantity needed ... Milk before tea is a wonky practice...
	8:28am Toothgrinder Tom: Good to know re the peanut butter, if ever I return there.
	⚡ 8:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @8:25 meyer's of keswick?
	8:28am TDK60: I have been crying for ya, Argentina.
	8:28am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @8:25 Porto Rico has it.
	8:29am Toothgrinder Tom: I’m kind of addicted to it at this point (the peanut butter). I know some people in Europe look down at it.
	8:30am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:25 No, the dissonance... getting a well-known guy to play homeless because of the roughness of his voice, while the original voice wasn't that rough. I felt like Bryars had stopped listening and let a sick narrative get in the way
	⚡ 8:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:28 do they still have store in east village?
	8:30am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe’ copied and pasted for later reference, thanks for your sage advice!
	8:31am morphe': ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @8:29 Peanut butter is eaten widly= IRE, UK, Continent, just not with jam ... honey or Marmite [huuuurrrrrrlll] in the UK ..
	8:31am TDK60: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:28 tom tom: I find Barry's in a few places. Fairway, etc. I've also been down to Myer's but to get my Marmite!
	⚡ 8:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:30 oh, i did not know it was an 'actor'
	8:32am Toothgrinder Tom: @TDK60 me too; the sandwich shop that sells them has an Irish owner and I just wanted to check that this brand really was Ireland’s favorite. (Because you never know.)
	8:33am morphe': TDK...??? Marmite! ???? Oh yes, you have done the Festival circuit ..
	8:33am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe’ maybe it’s just the French who have a visceral reaction against it (or some of them at least).
	8:34am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:32 Which one? Waits was acting, the original recording was from an actual homeless guy, Bryars said he tried to find him when Eno released the record, but was told he had died
	8:35am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @8:33 morphe': It's true. At least I don't like...pork rinds.
	⚡ 8:35am Brian in UK: Jimmy Miller's influence in the late 60s/early 70s work is vital. First time hearing Jumpin' Jack Flash, that intensity of sound was compelling.
	⚡ 8:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:34 yes, when is/was waits not acting.... a sad story
	8:38am TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @8:35 Hiya, Brian. "Jack" was a new loud sound, then! Same with "Have You Seen Your Mother Standing in the Shadow?"
	⚡ 8:38am Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "The Fine Art of Self-Destruction (Lonely Process)... Thought this was John Murry for a minute.
	8:38am morphe': I do like the original "jesus' Blood" and do believe it was a street recording that was part of a larger Bryars' audio/streetscape project? There was an FMU dj with a slot who did [only did/] his show from the street = 90s - early 2s??
	⚡ 8:39am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:37 a sad story about the homeless man
	⚡ 8:40am Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @8:38 Think 'Have You Seen....' is wonderful. Full brass & all.
	8:40am morphe': Heard that Charlie Watts said something disdainful about having to look at Mick's ass for so much of his life ... [apochrypha][sp?]
	8:40am Andres: ↳ Song: "Who Loves The Sun" by "The Feelies" Good morning. A beaut to wake up to! :)
	8:41am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @8:38 *correct: "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?"
	8:41am Barbie: Hi Brian thanks for yet another great show
	⚡ 8:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ morphe' @8:40 watts said something about 5 yrs of work 25 yrs of hanging out in the 80's
	⚡ 8:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:41 meaning they were only creative for five years
	8:43am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:39 I've been around the arts world too long to not feel cynical about the origin story though. Though a young artist with a breakthrough would be the most likely to seek out someone who made it possible. An even mildly successful one, no way
	⚡ 8:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:43 u huh
	8:46am dale: morning, been lurking. really enjoying this set. the jesse malin was lovely.
	⚡ 8:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Fairytale Of New York" by "Glen Hansard and Lisa ... betcha there were a coupla people crying, just a few
	8:50am fred: Like: there was a woman busking near my workplace for years, playing a single note. I went to a show in an arts museum and heard that note! I eventually found a video of her sitting in a more picturesque place. The piece probably fetched thousands, she might have got 20
	8:51am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:45 My previous comment was meant for you
	8:51am morphe': ↳ Song: "Fairytale Of New York" by "Glen Hansard and Lisa ... Cranky ex-priest's complaint about Shane's funeral... https://www.sundayworld.com/showbiz/irish-showbiz/ex-bishop-slams-3-hour-concert-and-circus-at-shane-macgowans-funeral/a847101590.html
	⚡ 8:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:50 that's the exact same situation, thx
	8:52am McGroovey: ↳ morphe' @8:40 I good-natured comment can turn into a disdainful rant in the retelling.
	8:52am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @8:51 Oh Jaysus.
	8:53am moniker: Gets a kick outta the 4 or 5? Individual hour interviewed perspectives from each Rolling Stone (via MGM+ TV).
	⚡ 8:53am Brian in UK: Thanks Mr DJ!

	8:58am TDK60: Brian, Thanks for the show.
	9:00am McGroovey: ↳ morphe' @8:51 Never heard of that priest, didn't need to. And my Microgroovies I meant McGroovey s (autocorrect!) haven't been Catholic since my grandpa to the priest to "get the f### off my f###ing porch" (true story!), by I think an Irish icon deserves a good send-off.
