	6:20am William Hellfire: Two cats listening now. Great set Brian! Hi Tom Tom, TDK newton and all the groovy listeners. Looking forward to a Spanish omelette. Signing a contract to licence back one of my earliest features that was never released properly. Couple of dead friends in it so it's more like a scrap book of memories than a film. Cat on my lap.
	6:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:20 oy, sounds like a version of santacon
	6:23am newton: Sounds good William, omelette, license, cat
	6:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ William Hellfire @6:20 congrats on the signing....and omlette
	6:23am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:20 Thank you, William. What's the film called, or can you not say yet?
	6:24am newton: I missed Mona and Diamanda yesterday for the storm(s), we lost power 3 times and half a tree. But at least for Mona and Diamanda there is the archive!
	6:25am tr1skaid3ka: Unwinding & listening. Just Big THX to Brian.
	6:25am William Hellfire: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:22 Worst nightmare ever. I saw Santa coming out of my kitchen floor once. He didn't make it all the way once I turned on the light and realized it was just wrapping paper and over flowing garbage but just imagine 2000 drunk ones!!!

	6:26am fred: Good morning Brian and all
	6:27am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:26 Fred! How are you healing?
	6:28am William Hellfire: ↳ Brian D @6:23 Secret until release day. Hint soundtrack is on freemusicarchive.org and no joke (bragging) has been played on WFMU. What a dream come true.
	6:28am Brian D: ↳ William Hellfire @6:28 Hmmm. I'll be looking on the FMA this week, then.
	6:29am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:27 Mostly healed apart from the ribs (I knew that would take a while)
	6:29am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:29 Right. Good to hear.
	6:30am tr1skaid3ka: Ribs can be a bastard ; - ) Get well soon.
	6:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:29 that's good, you were pretty banged up... how was the show with the eastman music
	6:32am newton: who is rk faulhaber

	6:33am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:32 www.soundohm.com...
	6:36am fred: ↳ fred @6:32 And I found out the compositions: Evil Nigger and Gay Guerilla, as I expected
	6:36am newton: ↳ Brian D @6:33 thanks brian. odd, but my late wife was a faulhaber too, and out of nowhere there she was right in the middle of Wild Combination last week when I watched it. weird mash of coincidences
	6:37am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:36 Oh wow... And you didn't know?
	6:39am newton: ↳ Brian D @6:37 it was a still photo of the people from that underground disco from the 70s and 80s David Mancuso's The Loft which then was in the basement of what is now the Mercer Hotel, she was bouncer/door
	6:41am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:39 That's something.
	6:42am tom tom the pipers son: harrowing interview with makers of documenary on gaza genocide on democracy now yesterday...doc here www.aljazeera.com...
	6:42am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Oh the Wind and Rain" by "Sonya Cohen Cramer" This is lovely.
	6:42am William Hellfire: ↳ fred @6:29 Hi Fred sorry your in pain. I am too! 3 weeks of back pain. Got a new local chiropractor but he hasn't fixed me yet. I think he's to gental. Need my old creepy chiropractor with the John Gasey paintings hanging on the wall.
	6:44am newton: back pain is bad. I hope yours is only temporary, and resolves quickly Fred.
	6:45am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:36 any of those four piano pieces are great... hope there's a good sound system
	6:46am TDK60: ↳ fred @6:29 I hope you heal up, fred.
	6:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:36 watched wild combination last week too
	6:47am newton: I've loaded up the car, Frances and I are driving to the city, vote, check on the building (still doing asbestos abatement before starting roof) a quick visit to wash sq DR, get provisions at Joe's and back up to the sticks.
	6:48am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:47 That's a full day. You may see Mrs. Currents at the run.
	6:48am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:46 I really liked it! well made, not sensational or trying to create some ubernarrative after the fact, just lovely and heartfelt
	6:49am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:48 I've actually never seen it. Will add it to the list.
	6:49am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: good morning Brian and everyone.
	6:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:48 absolutely, no hagiography... russell's parents were very human
	6:50am rich in angleton: good morning everybody! hey Brian! glad to be here to start a busy Saturday.
	6:50am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @6:49 Hello Peter! How are the Adirondacks this morning?
	6:50am newton: ↳ Brian D @6:49 ALso has a lot of fotage of vintage NY from 70s and 80s, which I still think of as real NY so I always enjoy seeing that.
	6:51am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @6:50 Rich!
	6:51am morphe': Attuned from Brandon, Kerry ... BD - are ya rooting for Scotland? According to opinion polls "???" - the majority of the Irish are rooting for England ... I don't really give a hoot and usually support an underdog as I halheartedly watch with the sound down and FMU on ... There was an old FMU StupidBowl Trad of doing so, but that fell away some years ago .... I think Ken also did a TellyTubby segment for awhile???
	6:51am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:50 Indeed. That's what I particularly enjoyed about "Robot Dreams."
	6:51am TDK60: ↳ newton @6:47 Hi newton, What is "DR"? I was thinking of maybe going to Washington Square but if it's filled with some big event, maybe not.
	6:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:50 i was surprised there wasn't an interview with phill niblock
	6:53am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:45 It's good, sometimes the sound guy is a bit distracted though. It's a new recording, the music was played live at the original run in Switzerland earlier this year
	6:53am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:51 Morphe! Not Scotland, really, though a number of Celtic players are in their squad and I'd be happy for them if they do well. Never England.
	6:55am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:53 wow...it's spectacle enough just having four pianos on stage... but dance on top of that....(!!!!!!)
	6:57am Fredericks: ↳ William Hellfire @6:42 Ice can be helpful if it is nerve pain.
	6:57am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:51 DR=dog run
	6:58am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:55 Tightrope walking too above the dancers. I guess touring with four pianists would have too challenging/expensive
	7:00am Michael of Cologne: ↳ William Hellfire @6:42 Or too genital, as the case may be? ;-)
	7:00am William Hellfire: ↳ Fredericks @6:57 Yes. I got ice and electro shock plus a stretching machine table. Kinda felt like medieval treatment for Hysteria.
	7:01am William Hellfire: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:00 Hahaha oh my Janitor.
	7:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:58 yes, expense, etc
	7:02am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:52 he was mentioned though. That wsa extra nice as a dear friend of mine use dto live in the building he lived in on center st and grand. Also I got a grant from that foundation he was on the board of, but I only met him that one time in the 90s
	7:02am tr1skaid3ka: A good news clip [monolith] to base a short story on.
	7:03am tr1skaid3ka: Any fiction writers out there?
	7:04am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone listening in...
	7:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:02 oh, i only saw a mention at the end, my ex was good friends with him, we used to go to the loft often...talk about vintage nyc...
	7:07am newton: Car loaded, we have to get on the taconic before Mad Max time. I'll be listening on the app!
	7:07am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:01 I found a trailer: youtu.be...
	7:07am tom tom the pipers son: happy travels
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:04 Hello Strand.
	7:09am Brian D: ↳ tr1skaid3ka @7:03 I'm a journalist by trade, so yes. (I'm joking.)
	7:09am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @6:51 Hola morphe' in Kerry.
	7:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:07 oh thanks fred, tbh, i was skeptical about the tightrope, but looks interesting
	7:11am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Deep Sunrise Energy" by "Dire Wolves (Just Exactl... Can vs united states of America
	7:12am dale: ↳ Song: "I Want to Be Fine" by "Broadcast" morning. some exceptional music...
	7:13am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @6:50 Hi Brian, the heat wave has passed here. My house is 7 degrees cooler than it was 2 days ago, thank goodness. Rain the next few days. Hoping you and all FMU-u-vians survive the heat wave.
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:12 Hello Dale. Broadcast could do no wrong.
	7:16am annette: good day, Listers. may you all have cool comfort during this heat. hate to sound like a naggin mom, but...DRINK WATER BEFORE YOU GET THIRSTY.
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:13 Thank you, Peter. 7 degrees cooler here wouldn't provide much relief, unfortunately.
	7:17am fred: I like some of Ben Vautier's work, but his commercial empire really blunted it and got really annoying (Ben merch is everywhere in France)
	7:18am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:17 Yeah, I know. Kinda undermined the message.
	7:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "PBS-More than a million threatened in Sudan city ... astonishing the clusterfuck of catastrophic events happening on the planet
	7:19am tr1skaid3ka: Brings back memories, that song!
	7:22am tr1skaid3ka: ''No Man's Land'' feat members of Soft Machine - correct me if I'm wrong.
	7:22am William Hellfire: ↳ tr1skaid3ka @7:22 Whoa!
	7:22am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Mercy" by "Alan Vega" Casper Brotzmann must have dug Alan and suicide.
	7:23am tom tom the pipers son: digging this alan vega
	7:27am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Coney Island Baby" by "Mary Gauthier" Someone is really doing a great job on the guitar fills.
	7:27am Strandlund: Loving the music this morning, Brian.
	7:27am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:18 On the other hand, I saw a Warhol retrospective in the early '90s that was in several buildings in a park and there were a few Ben writings scattered in the park. They had much more impact in that context. (That was the exhibition that had a VU reunion, though I wasn't there for that)
	7:28am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:27 I vaguely remember hearing about that (the retrospective).
	7:33am herb.nyc: Hola. Brian mentioned Saturday night about an hour ago. This, a post I did on yest w n bake, fyi- “ComCal by Rockin' • @8:41 Rebecca!"

	7:34am morphe': Must go over the hill to get the week's supplies.. Thanks BD and all !!
	7:34am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @7:34 Have a good walk, morphe'.

	7:36am TDK60: Ho, herb. Does "e/th" mean 8th St.? I might come if it's not thunder storming heavily.

	7:42am herb.nyc: tdk- did I see it at Earwax record shop? Fabio is away in Italy now (Eataly?), as per Diana at the counter. (She accepted the new Big Takeover magazine from me, w The Damned on cover)
	7:43am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @7:41 vg- maybe dogs can come. It’s a community garden
	7:46am herb.nyc: I should ask a mutual friend if McGroovy and Hoboken Jack if they are to baker falls tonight. For they might wanna come to the garden. BUT PLZ, don’t tell them. They’re kinda like riff raff (I hate to be blunt. Oh wait, delete this. Thx)
	7:48am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Mercy" by "Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds" !!!!

	8:01am fred: ↳ Song: "PBS-More than a million threatened in Sudan city ... There was a good article on the Baffler's site about a Sudanese refugee who got deported to South Sudan: thebaffler.com...
	8:02am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @7:16 I've been following the NJ weather since I used to live there... uff. Stay hydrated. Heat exhaustion is a real thing.
	8:03am Brian D: ↳ sharon @7:56 I've always wanted to read that! But not the book I'm thinking of.
	8:03am clarke: ↳ Brian D @8:03 it is a good read, actually. but, way too long.
	8:04am tom tom the pipers son: 78 degrees outside at 8am and gray and looking very heatdomey
	8:06am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:04 Bloody hell. I HATE this weather.

	8:07am clarke: you should never try to come here to new orleans - at least until november, then.
	8:08am William Hellfire: ↳ Ryan Sterlingvirtue @7:59 Flipside?!?! Looking forward to seeing that. That was my record store. Dan sold Severed lips tapes there. I shot two movies there.
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ clarke @8:07 I've been in New Orleans. In November. Beautiful city, but that weather...
	8:08am clarke: ↳ William Hellfire @8:08 where was that Flipside, william?
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:07 No. Good?
	8:09am Brian D: ↳ clarke @8:08 www.eventbrite.com...
	8:09am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Gunboats" by "Oneida" One of the many many bands wfmu has gifted me 👌
	8:09am clarke: ↳ Brian D @8:08 ha ha ha. well, we have NIGHTS in the summer that don't get lower than the 80's,
	8:10am G: ↳ clarke @8:09 Are you up early? Or up late? haha
	8:11am clarke: ↳ G @8:10 early, unfortunately!! the saga continueth.
	8:11am G: ↳ clarke @8:09 Was 78 here in New Orleans when I got up at 4:30. 80 now.
	8:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:08 yes very if i remember correctly, it conveys the chaos or the era also good by cendrars ...lice, about ww1 trench warfare
	8:12am clarke: ↳ G @8:11 we had a few days of respite, tho!
	8:12am fred: ↳ Song: "Gunboats" by "Oneida" I have a fond memory of an Oneida show: they played Sheets of Easter and Bobby's keyboard stand started going lower and lower, with Bobby going down with it without ever breaking, even when a stage guy came to lift and tighten it
	8:12am William Hellfire: ↳ clarke @8:08 Pompton lakes NJ still there. Documentary showing at Monty Hall next week I think. I was gonna be in it but it didn't happen. Rev. Dan who owns it used to give me records. Tracy who worked there used to bring me to shows at Maxwell's. Great place.
	8:13am G: Yes, I haven't bugged you about doing lunch the past week, because you are probably sleeping midday haha. We could maybe do a late lunch one day, 2 or 3, if that would work? Hope the overnight recording is progressing well. :-)
	8:13am clarke: ↳ William Hellfire @8:12 ah, thanks. i was wondering if it was the flipside on the west coast.
	8:14am clarke: ↳ G @8:13 you would have been correct, this week, but i think i am doing better this week - let's go for it!!
	8:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:12 saw oneida a number of times early on, glad to see they are still viable and honing their sound
	8:14am clarke: ↳ clarke @8:14 =weekend
	8:15am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: ↳ William Hellfire @8:12 i remember tracy too. she was the best. i remember you too!
	8:16am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: this song is so catchy.
	8:16am Dan S: ↳ Song: "Maple Jean and the Anthropocene" by "Girl and Girl" Is this the first song to use "Anthropocene" in its title? In any case, I like it.
	8:17am G: ↳ clarke @8:14 OK, seems like any day this week might work??? Just text me one mid to late morning. :-) Mary Ellen and I will be in Germany for awhile starting in a couple of weeks.
	8:18am clarke: ↳ G @8:17 wow! nice! how bout meeting at The Rink today (after shelley show)?
	8:18am clarke: ↳ G @8:17 also, i fell asleep when the O's had a huge lead - wtf happened????
	8:19am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:14 That story was from 15 years ago, I haven't seen them in 10+ years. The usual problem: Paris lacks mid-size venues, so cool bands don't play here anymore
	8:20am clarke: ↳ fred @8:19 it's always great when a performer can just go with and overcome technical issues.
	8:22am pmcWhenever: 911 outage due to firewall problem as the system is internet based, i got numerous screechy cellphone alerts saying it was out, it was back, don’t make test calls - it’s for emergencies!
	8:22am clarke: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Be Adored" by "The Stone Roses" what are ya? a mind-reader?? just thinking about this...
	8:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:19 that's about when i last saw them
	8:23am G: ↳ clarke @8:18 Mary Ellen has long wanted to visit Germany. German is one of my languages ever since highschool, though I have to knock off the rust. The visit got put off for years owing to Rona and heavy workloads. Today seems doable. Let me check with Mary Ellen after she's awake. I'll get back to you by text. After Shelley would be 1pm CT.
	8:23am Brian D: ↳ clarke @8:22 It's been in my head all week.
	8:23am clarke: ↳ G @8:23 yeah, like 1:15 at The Rink.
	8:24am Topology: "I Wanna Be Adored" is one of the all-time great songs (for people in high school in 1991).
	8:24am clarke: ↳ Brian D @8:23 the pidge played it early one morn last week. i think it may have gotten into our subconscious.
	8:25am clarke: such a good tune. perfect.
	8:25am G: ↳ clarke @8:18 Os Friday night. -- GRod poor start. Os got creamed for 9 runs in like the 5th or 6th. The Os then had a big rally late in the game, but still lost 14-11.-- Two aces late this afternoon -- Burnes for the Os.
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ clarke @8:24 Weird. Don't think I heard it.
	8:26am clarke: ↳ Brian D @8:25 maybe in your sleep>? ha ha
	8:26am G: ↳ clarke @8:23 K, so I'll call that confi4emed for 1:15. I doubt Mary Ellen has anything else planned for midday; we are going to a concert, but not till 7.
	8:26am clarke: ↳ G @8:26 cya there!
	8:26am fred: @tom tom: I'll spend Friday afternoon at the Paris art school (open doors day). Last year was disappointing (not much to see), but it was the second post-covid one, I guess students lost the habit, hopefully there will be more (the place is sprawling in a weird old way)
	8:27am clarke: ↳ Song: "The Woman That Loves You" by "Japanese Breakfast" hah - great follow=up!
	8:27am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "The Woman That Loves You" by "Japanese Breakfast" JBrekkie! Oh Brian, you shouldn't have 🍳💜
	8:28am Dan S: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Be Adored" by "The Stone Roses" I was listening to this song and, before I looked at the playlist, I thought the chorus was "I Wanna Be A Dog." Yes, and there's a bathroom on the right, LOL.
	8:29am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:23 I've had Couldbusting in my head since I heard Donald Sutherland passed away
	8:29am clarke: your life as a dog.
	8:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:26 oh, nice... i remember when you went last year
	8:30am fred: ↳ fred @8:29 Cloudbusting
	8:30am clarke: ↳ fred @8:29 i am finding out about that now!
	8:31am clarke: ↳ fred @8:30 the sutherland passing. i am not surprised, tho, as i hear he had been on the way out.
	8:32am clarke: RIP sutherland & chance
	8:33am Hoboken Jack: ↳ herb.nyc @7:46 Hooray for the riff-raff!

	8:35am tadpoles: ↳ clarke @8:32 Yes ...sad about James Chance. He graced the cover of the first East Village Eye...May 1979. RIP. Thanks for the show Brian. Cheers.
	8:36am Dan S: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Be Happy" by "Contortions" And even if I did want to, it isn't going to happen, anyway.
	8:36am Brian D: Marty will be in tonight! Sorry. Delphine filled in LAST week. Time blurs.
	8:36am clarke: ↳ tadpoles @8:35 did that eventually become East Village Rocker?? or diff zine?
	8:38am Hoboken Jack: Hey Brian, Clarke, HyperD! I believe they still sell Schnackenberg's donuts in the restaurant that took over the spot.
	8:39am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @8:38 kidding? wow!
	8:40am tadpoles: ↳ clarke @8:36 No...2 separate newspapers. Run by different editors. East Village Eye archives I think are now held by the New York Public Library. bynx.co...
	8:41am clarke: ↳ tadpoles @8:40 ah, thnx! and agghh pricey!
	8:41am clarke: doing math in the morning - not my bag, baby!!
	8:42am fred: ↳ Song: "Make America Great Again" by "Pussy Riot" A classic, with a brutal video
	8:43am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Make America Great Again" by "Pussy Riot" The video for this song is pretty powerful.
	8:43am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Hoboken Jack @8:38 No Schnackenberg's here, but there's a place that has awesome cho collate sour cream doughnuts.
	8:44am tadpoles: ↳ clarke @8:41 Now that I think about it....I think you're refering to the New York Rocker...n'est ce pas?
	8:45am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:43 Hey Peter! Mmm I would get a baker's dozen of those!
	8:47am tom tom the pipers son: apropos of nothing...one thing diamanda galas said yesterday that stuck out for me was how repression comes from the left as well as the right but i didn't catch if she was referring to something specifically
	8:48am clarke: ↳ tadpoles @8:44 yeah, that's correct. apparently math is not the only thing it's too early for.
	8:48am TDK60: Brian, you mentioned Chomsky earlier. Noam lives. Ha! Plenty of liberals, conservatives, Zionists, fascists, even some stale leftists, may be less than happy the elder, card-carrying I.W.W., anarcho-syndicalist is still living. Here's Jeffrey St. Clair from his 6.21.24 column "Roaming Charges" in Counterpunch: " ... the welcome news that Chomsky lives has somehow spread much slower than the lie that he had died, which reconfirms pretty much everything Noam’s written about the nature of the mass media, even the insidious way it infects those who’ve read and (in theory) absorbed the meaning of his work."
	8:49am clarke: "this here internet" ha ha ha
	8:49am clarke: ↳ Song: "Hand of Fate" by "Rolling Stones" YESSSSSS!!! OH YES.
	8:50am clarke: what a well-rounded show!! i'll be here, again, thanks!!
	8:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @8:48 interesting tdk...
	8:51am fred: ↳ Song: "The Hill TV-Noam Chomsky NOT DEAD" WFMU once had a show that often featured Chomsky lectures. There was a premium sampling metal genres, and I think the final Noam snippet was labeled "Justice Metal"
	8:52am Spikey BXL: Thanks Brian, have a great weekend
	8:52am fred: ↳ fred @8:51 The Belly of the Beat with Stefan: wfmu.org...
	8:53am clarke: "here comes Ronnie with... A BLOND WIG!"
	8:53am tom tom the pipers son: rolling stones catchy but so much bullshit served up
	8:54am TDK60: ↳ fred @8:51 Merci, Fred. I never knew that show. Add another item to the research I need to do in the Archive. Hee.
	8:55am clarke: ↳ Song: "1970" by "The Stooges" lead bass!!
	8:56am rich in angleton: thx Brian!! have a great weekend everybody!
	8:56am Brian D: Alright all. That's nearly it for me. Enjoy the weekend and coming week. Stay safe. Hope to see some of you at the record and CD sale today.
	8:56am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Hoboken Jack @8:45 Jack, they're downright addictive. Plus that bakery has locally roasted coffee to go with the doughnuts!
	8:56am TDK60: Fine show, Brian. Maybe I'll see ya at the L.E.S. composter meet-up on 7th, if it's not raining monoliths...
	8:57am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian...
	8:57am fred: ↳ fred @8:51 It was actually "Justice Catalyst Metal" (I just checked) I hope Chomsky lives longer than Kissinger did
	8:57am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ tadpoles @8:44 I didn't know abut the NY Rocker... in the 90s, there was an NJ rag called the East Coast Rocker.
	8:57am clarke: monoliths, ya'll!
	8:57am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Thanks for a great show, Brian.
	8:58am radioronan: Viva le Chomsky! Thanks Brian...cheers y'all!
	8:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:57 ha! the universe will balance out
	8:58am tadpoles: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:57 Archive: flashbak.com...
	8:58am fred: Thanks Brian!
	8:58am Hoboken Jack: Thanks Brian!
	8:59am HyperDose: 'preciate cha Mr. Brian!
	9:00am Will thee SG OCNY: thank you Brian D!!!

	6:25am tr1skaid3ka: Unwinding & listening. Just Big THX to Brian.
	6:25am William Hellfire: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:22 Worst nightmare ever. I saw Santa coming out of my kitchen floor once. He didn't make it all the way once I turned on the light and realized it was just wrapping paper and over flowing garbage but just imagine 2000 drunk ones!!!

	6:33am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:32 www.soundohm.com...
	6:36am fred: ↳ fred @6:32 And I found out the compositions: Evil Nigger and Gay Guerilla, as I expected
	6:36am newton: ↳ Brian D @6:33 thanks brian. odd, but my late wife was a faulhaber too, and out of nowhere there she was right in the middle of Wild Combination last week when I watched it. weird mash of coincidences
	6:37am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:36 Oh wow... And you didn't know?
	6:39am newton: ↳ Brian D @6:37 it was a still photo of the people from that underground disco from the 70s and 80s David Mancuso's The Loft which then was in the basement of what is now the Mercer Hotel, she was bouncer/door
	6:41am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:39 That's something.

	6:42am William Hellfire: ↳ fred @6:29 Hi Fred sorry your in pain. I am too! 3 weeks of back pain. Got a new local chiropractor but he hasn't fixed me yet. I think he's to gental. Need my old creepy chiropractor with the John Gasey paintings hanging on the wall.

	6:48am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:47 That's a full day. You may see Mrs. Currents at the run.
	6:48am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:46 I really liked it! well made, not sensational or trying to create some ubernarrative after the fact, just lovely and heartfelt
	6:49am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:48 I've actually never seen it. Will add it to the list.
	6:49am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: good morning Brian and everyone.
	6:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:48 absolutely, no hagiography... russell's parents were very human
	6:50am rich in angleton: good morning everybody! hey Brian! glad to be here to start a busy Saturday.
	6:50am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @6:49 Hello Peter! How are the Adirondacks this morning?

	6:51am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @6:50 Rich!
	6:51am morphe': Attuned from Brandon, Kerry ... BD - are ya rooting for Scotland? According to opinion polls "???" - the majority of the Irish are rooting for England ... I don't really give a hoot and usually support an underdog as I halheartedly watch with the sound down and FMU on ... There was an old FMU StupidBowl Trad of doing so, but that fell away some years ago .... I think Ken also did a TellyTubby segment for awhile???
	6:51am Brian D: ↳ newton @6:50 Indeed. That's what I particularly enjoyed about "Robot Dreams."
	6:51am TDK60: ↳ newton @6:47 Hi newton, What is "DR"? I was thinking of maybe going to Washington Square but if it's filled with some big event, maybe not.
	6:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @6:50 i was surprised there wasn't an interview with phill niblock
	6:53am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:45 It's good, sometimes the sound guy is a bit distracted though. It's a new recording, the music was played live at the original run in Switzerland earlier this year
	6:53am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @6:51 Morphe! Not Scotland, really, though a number of Celtic players are in their squad and I'd be happy for them if they do well. Never England.
	6:55am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:53 wow...it's spectacle enough just having four pianos on stage... but dance on top of that....(!!!!!!)
	6:57am Fredericks: ↳ William Hellfire @6:42 Ice can be helpful if it is nerve pain.
	6:57am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:51 DR=dog run
	6:58am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:55 Tightrope walking too above the dancers. I guess touring with four pianists would have too challenging/expensive
	7:00am Michael of Cologne: ↳ William Hellfire @6:42 Or too genital, as the case may be? ;-)
	7:00am William Hellfire: ↳ Fredericks @6:57 Yes. I got ice and electro shock plus a stretching machine table. Kinda felt like medieval treatment for Hysteria.
	7:01am William Hellfire: ↳ Michael of Cologne @7:00 Hahaha oh my Janitor.
	7:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @6:58 yes, expense, etc
	7:02am newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:52 he was mentioned though. That wsa extra nice as a dear friend of mine use dto live in the building he lived in on center st and grand. Also I got a grant from that foundation he was on the board of, but I only met him that one time in the 90s
	7:02am tr1skaid3ka: A good news clip [monolith] to base a short story on.
	7:03am tr1skaid3ka: Any fiction writers out there?
	7:04am Strandlund: Good Morning Brian and everyone listening in...
	7:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @7:02 oh, i only saw a mention at the end, my ex was good friends with him, we used to go to the loft often...talk about vintage nyc...
	7:07am newton: Car loaded, we have to get on the taconic before Mad Max time. I'll be listening on the app!
	7:07am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:01 I found a trailer: youtu.be...
	7:07am tom tom the pipers son: happy travels
	7:08am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:04 Hello Strand.
	7:09am Brian D: ↳ tr1skaid3ka @7:03 I'm a journalist by trade, so yes. (I'm joking.)
	7:09am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @6:51 Hola morphe' in Kerry.
	7:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @7:07 oh thanks fred, tbh, i was skeptical about the tightrope, but looks interesting
	7:11am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Deep Sunrise Energy" by "Dire Wolves (Just Exactl... Can vs united states of America
	7:12am dale: ↳ Song: "I Want to Be Fine" by "Broadcast" morning. some exceptional music...
	7:13am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Brian D @6:50 Hi Brian, the heat wave has passed here. My house is 7 degrees cooler than it was 2 days ago, thank goodness. Rain the next few days. Hoping you and all FMU-u-vians survive the heat wave.
	7:15am Brian D: ↳ dale @7:12 Hello Dale. Broadcast could do no wrong.
	7:16am annette: good day, Listers. may you all have cool comfort during this heat. hate to sound like a naggin mom, but...DRINK WATER BEFORE YOU GET THIRSTY.
	7:16am Brian D: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @7:13 Thank you, Peter. 7 degrees cooler here wouldn't provide much relief, unfortunately.
	7:17am fred: I like some of Ben Vautier's work, but his commercial empire really blunted it and got really annoying (Ben merch is everywhere in France)
	7:18am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:17 Yeah, I know. Kinda undermined the message.
	7:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "PBS-More than a million threatened in Sudan city ... astonishing the clusterfuck of catastrophic events happening on the planet
	7:19am tr1skaid3ka: Brings back memories, that song!
	7:22am tr1skaid3ka: ''No Man's Land'' feat members of Soft Machine - correct me if I'm wrong.

	7:27am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:18 On the other hand, I saw a Warhol retrospective in the early '90s that was in several buildings in a park and there were a few Ben writings scattered in the park. They had much more impact in that context. (That was the exhibition that had a VU reunion, though I wasn't there for that)
	7:28am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:27 I vaguely remember hearing about that (the retrospective).

	8:08am clarke: ↳ William Hellfire @8:08 where was that Flipside, william?
	8:08am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:07 No. Good?
	8:09am Brian D: ↳ clarke @8:08 www.eventbrite.com...
	8:09am Spikey BXL: ↳ Song: "Gunboats" by "Oneida" One of the many many bands wfmu has gifted me 👌
	8:09am clarke: ↳ Brian D @8:08 ha ha ha. well, we have NIGHTS in the summer that don't get lower than the 80's,
	8:10am G: ↳ clarke @8:09 Are you up early? Or up late? haha
	8:11am clarke: ↳ G @8:10 early, unfortunately!! the saga continueth.
	8:11am G: ↳ clarke @8:09 Was 78 here in New Orleans when I got up at 4:30. 80 now.
	8:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:08 yes very if i remember correctly, it conveys the chaos or the era also good by cendrars ...lice, about ww1 trench warfare
	8:12am clarke: ↳ G @8:11 we had a few days of respite, tho!
	8:12am fred: ↳ Song: "Gunboats" by "Oneida" I have a fond memory of an Oneida show: they played Sheets of Easter and Bobby's keyboard stand started going lower and lower, with Bobby going down with it without ever breaking, even when a stage guy came to lift and tighten it
	8:12am William Hellfire: ↳ clarke @8:08 Pompton lakes NJ still there. Documentary showing at Monty Hall next week I think. I was gonna be in it but it didn't happen. Rev. Dan who owns it used to give me records. Tracy who worked there used to bring me to shows at Maxwell's. Great place.
	8:13am G: Yes, I haven't bugged you about doing lunch the past week, because you are probably sleeping midday haha. We could maybe do a late lunch one day, 2 or 3, if that would work? Hope the overnight recording is progressing well. :-)
	8:13am clarke: ↳ William Hellfire @8:12 ah, thanks. i was wondering if it was the flipside on the west coast.
	8:14am clarke: ↳ G @8:13 you would have been correct, this week, but i think i am doing better this week - let's go for it!!
	8:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:12 saw oneida a number of times early on, glad to see they are still viable and honing their sound
	8:14am clarke: ↳ clarke @8:14 =weekend
	8:15am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: ↳ William Hellfire @8:12 i remember tracy too. she was the best. i remember you too!
	8:16am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: this song is so catchy.
	8:16am Dan S: ↳ Song: "Maple Jean and the Anthropocene" by "Girl and Girl" Is this the first song to use "Anthropocene" in its title? In any case, I like it.
	8:17am G: ↳ clarke @8:14 OK, seems like any day this week might work??? Just text me one mid to late morning. :-) Mary Ellen and I will be in Germany for awhile starting in a couple of weeks.
	8:18am clarke: ↳ G @8:17 wow! nice! how bout meeting at The Rink today (after shelley show)?
	8:18am clarke: ↳ G @8:17 also, i fell asleep when the O's had a huge lead - wtf happened????
	8:19am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:14 That story was from 15 years ago, I haven't seen them in 10+ years. The usual problem: Paris lacks mid-size venues, so cool bands don't play here anymore
	8:20am clarke: ↳ fred @8:19 it's always great when a performer can just go with and overcome technical issues.
	8:22am pmcWhenever: 911 outage due to firewall problem as the system is internet based, i got numerous screechy cellphone alerts saying it was out, it was back, don’t make test calls - it’s for emergencies!
	8:22am clarke: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Be Adored" by "The Stone Roses" what are ya? a mind-reader?? just thinking about this...
	8:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:19 that's about when i last saw them
	8:23am G: ↳ clarke @8:18 Mary Ellen has long wanted to visit Germany. German is one of my languages ever since highschool, though I have to knock off the rust. The visit got put off for years owing to Rona and heavy workloads. Today seems doable. Let me check with Mary Ellen after she's awake. I'll get back to you by text. After Shelley would be 1pm CT.
	8:23am Brian D: ↳ clarke @8:22 It's been in my head all week.
	8:23am clarke: ↳ G @8:23 yeah, like 1:15 at The Rink.
	8:24am Topology: "I Wanna Be Adored" is one of the all-time great songs (for people in high school in 1991).
	8:24am clarke: ↳ Brian D @8:23 the pidge played it early one morn last week. i think it may have gotten into our subconscious.
	8:25am clarke: such a good tune. perfect.
	8:25am G: ↳ clarke @8:18 Os Friday night. -- GRod poor start. Os got creamed for 9 runs in like the 5th or 6th. The Os then had a big rally late in the game, but still lost 14-11.-- Two aces late this afternoon -- Burnes for the Os.
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ clarke @8:24 Weird. Don't think I heard it.
	8:26am clarke: ↳ Brian D @8:25 maybe in your sleep>? ha ha
	8:26am G: ↳ clarke @8:23 K, so I'll call that confi4emed for 1:15. I doubt Mary Ellen has anything else planned for midday; we are going to a concert, but not till 7.
	8:26am clarke: ↳ G @8:26 cya there!
	8:26am fred: @tom tom: I'll spend Friday afternoon at the Paris art school (open doors day). Last year was disappointing (not much to see), but it was the second post-covid one, I guess students lost the habit, hopefully there will be more (the place is sprawling in a weird old way)
	8:27am clarke: ↳ Song: "The Woman That Loves You" by "Japanese Breakfast" hah - great follow=up!
	8:27am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "The Woman That Loves You" by "Japanese Breakfast" JBrekkie! Oh Brian, you shouldn't have 🍳💜
	8:28am Dan S: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Be Adored" by "The Stone Roses" I was listening to this song and, before I looked at the playlist, I thought the chorus was "I Wanna Be A Dog." Yes, and there's a bathroom on the right, LOL.
	8:29am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:23 I've had Couldbusting in my head since I heard Donald Sutherland passed away
	8:29am clarke: your life as a dog.
	8:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:26 oh, nice... i remember when you went last year
	8:30am fred: ↳ fred @8:29 Cloudbusting
	8:30am clarke: ↳ fred @8:29 i am finding out about that now!
	8:31am clarke: ↳ fred @8:30 the sutherland passing. i am not surprised, tho, as i hear he had been on the way out.
	8:32am clarke: RIP sutherland & chance
	8:33am Hoboken Jack: ↳ herb.nyc @7:46 Hooray for the riff-raff!
	8:33am Brian D: ↳ Hoboken Jack @8:33 HA!!! Good morning, Jack.
	8:33am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @8:33 good marnin' sur!!
	8:34am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @8:33 meet me at Schnackenberg's at 10!
	8:34am HyperDose: Jack's here? Stoked on it! 🍕🍕
	8:35am tadpoles: ↳ clarke @8:32 Yes ...sad about James Chance. He graced the cover of the first East Village Eye...May 1979. RIP. Thanks for the show Brian. Cheers.
	8:36am Dan S: ↳ Song: "I Don't Want To Be Happy" by "Contortions" And even if I did want to, it isn't going to happen, anyway.
	8:36am Brian D: Marty will be in tonight! Sorry. Delphine filled in LAST week. Time blurs.
	8:36am clarke: ↳ tadpoles @8:35 did that eventually become East Village Rocker?? or diff zine?
	8:38am Hoboken Jack: Hey Brian, Clarke, HyperD! I believe they still sell Schnackenberg's donuts in the restaurant that took over the spot.
	8:39am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @8:38 kidding? wow!
	8:40am tadpoles: ↳ clarke @8:36 No...2 separate newspapers. Run by different editors. East Village Eye archives I think are now held by the New York Public Library. bynx.co...
	8:41am clarke: ↳ tadpoles @8:40 ah, thnx! and agghh pricey!
	8:41am clarke: doing math in the morning - not my bag, baby!!
	8:42am fred: ↳ Song: "Make America Great Again" by "Pussy Riot" A classic, with a brutal video
	8:43am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Make America Great Again" by "Pussy Riot" The video for this song is pretty powerful.
	8:43am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Hoboken Jack @8:38 No Schnackenberg's here, but there's a place that has awesome cho collate sour cream doughnuts.
	8:44am tadpoles: ↳ clarke @8:41 Now that I think about it....I think you're refering to the New York Rocker...n'est ce pas?
	8:45am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:43 Hey Peter! Mmm I would get a baker's dozen of those!
	8:47am tom tom the pipers son: apropos of nothing...one thing diamanda galas said yesterday that stuck out for me was how repression comes from the left as well as the right but i didn't catch if she was referring to something specifically
	8:48am clarke: ↳ tadpoles @8:44 yeah, that's correct. apparently math is not the only thing it's too early for.
	8:48am TDK60: Brian, you mentioned Chomsky earlier. Noam lives. Ha! Plenty of liberals, conservatives, Zionists, fascists, even some stale leftists, may be less than happy the elder, card-carrying I.W.W., anarcho-syndicalist is still living. Here's Jeffrey St. Clair from his 6.21.24 column "Roaming Charges" in Counterpunch: " ... the welcome news that Chomsky lives has somehow spread much slower than the lie that he had died, which reconfirms pretty much everything Noam’s written about the nature of the mass media, even the insidious way it infects those who’ve read and (in theory) absorbed the meaning of his work."
	8:49am clarke: "this here internet" ha ha ha
	8:49am clarke: ↳ Song: "Hand of Fate" by "Rolling Stones" YESSSSSS!!! OH YES.
	8:50am clarke: what a well-rounded show!! i'll be here, again, thanks!!
	8:50am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @8:48 interesting tdk...
	8:51am fred: ↳ Song: "The Hill TV-Noam Chomsky NOT DEAD" WFMU once had a show that often featured Chomsky lectures. There was a premium sampling metal genres, and I think the final Noam snippet was labeled "Justice Metal"
	8:52am Spikey BXL: Thanks Brian, have a great weekend
	8:52am fred: ↳ fred @8:51 The Belly of the Beat with Stefan: wfmu.org...
	8:53am clarke: "here comes Ronnie with... A BLOND WIG!"
	8:53am tom tom the pipers son: rolling stones catchy but so much bullshit served up
	8:54am TDK60: ↳ fred @8:51 Merci, Fred. I never knew that show. Add another item to the research I need to do in the Archive. Hee.
	8:55am clarke: ↳ Song: "1970" by "The Stooges" lead bass!!
	8:56am rich in angleton: thx Brian!! have a great weekend everybody!
	8:56am Brian D: Alright all. That's nearly it for me. Enjoy the weekend and coming week. Stay safe. Hope to see some of you at the record and CD sale today.
	8:56am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Hoboken Jack @8:45 Jack, they're downright addictive. Plus that bakery has locally roasted coffee to go with the doughnuts!
	8:56am TDK60: Fine show, Brian. Maybe I'll see ya at the L.E.S. composter meet-up on 7th, if it's not raining monoliths...
	8:57am tom tom the pipers son: thanks brian...
	8:57am fred: ↳ fred @8:51 It was actually "Justice Catalyst Metal" (I just checked) I hope Chomsky lives longer than Kissinger did
	8:57am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ tadpoles @8:44 I didn't know abut the NY Rocker... in the 90s, there was an NJ rag called the East Coast Rocker.
	8:57am clarke: monoliths, ya'll!
	8:57am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Thanks for a great show, Brian.
	8:58am radioronan: Viva le Chomsky! Thanks Brian...cheers y'all!
	8:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:57 ha! the universe will balance out
	8:58am tadpoles: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @8:57 Archive: flashbak.com...
	8:58am fred: Thanks Brian!
	8:58am Hoboken Jack: Thanks Brian!
	8:59am HyperDose: 'preciate cha Mr. Brian!
	9:00am Will thee SG OCNY: thank you Brian D!!!
