	6:10am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	6:12am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:10 Hello Fred. Meet any DJs this week?
	⚡ 6:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:09 ha! idk just popped out of my 6am mind....maybe because i stayed on "haupt"strasse once in berlin
	⚡ 6:16am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Good morning Brian and fellow surfers of the currents, I am feeling a bit complicit this morning, in what that remains to be seen
	⚡ 6:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "1/1" by "Brian Eno" i keep on hearing frere jacques buried in this
	6:17am StringOFperils: Good morning, Brian (s).
	⚡ 6:20am Michael of Cologne: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:17 Unfortunately sounds just like music for airports.
	6:21am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:20 I WISH they'd play Eno in the airports here.
	⚡ 6:22am tom tom the pipers son: i think the dormez-vous phrase is played....i'm digging it
	6:23am StringOFperils: It IS music for airports. A proposed Muzak that would be beneficial.
	6:23am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:22 Now that you mention it...
	⚡ 6:25am Michael of Cologne: ↳ StringOFperils @6:23 Perhaps airports for music would be beneficial.
	6:27am StringOFperils: I like it. Air ports, where breezes could pool and settle in safe quiet harbours of nothingness
	⚡ 6:28am tom tom the pipers son: eno did that installation at the old twa terminal like 15 yrs ago....anyone go...?
	6:29am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:28 No! One of my many regrets.

	⚡ 6:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:31 like being a little bit asleep...a little bit awake...
	6:33am StringOFperils: No, but. I did see an installation he did in 1981, with soundscapes of this period. Several modified colour TV sets, set up on end so they were narrow and tall, showing urban places in the distance, but mostly the sky above, with clouds moving almost imperceptibly slowly. No one was there, because no one was interested yet.
	⚡ 6:35am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Michael of Cologne @6:31 Not a fan of 6am but I live for 6:05

	7:17am morphe': ↳ Fredericks @7:10 This Is Lorelei An Extra Beat For You And Me I was thinking "Box of Rain," but- just looked up - that was Phil Lesh
	⚡ 7:21am herb.nyc: Hola. Ya know, Brian mentions Mrs Currents so often why doesn’t he just bring her on as a guest? Afraid she’ll steal the show? And since some of us are commie pinko fags (I’m citing George Carlin, not tryna be canceled), People’s Forum in manhattan will have an event today- The Summer People's Market featuring Carsie Blanton's Red Album Release Party! I won’t make it but I listened to some Carsie songs. They’re good. It’s $1 on bandcamp and I’ll give her a little more.
	⚡ 7:21am tom tom the pipers son: used to walk around campus with my boombox playing this...in college
	7:21am TDK60: As to the question asked in the grafitti above: I try not to be so complicit, by protesting against this government and its support of Israel's military. I go to a weekly vigil to protest our Democrat congressperson who's pro-Zionist. I go often to larger protests for Gaza. I went to one last Thursday. I see that the war criminal head of Israel is going to speak in the US congress next week. Despicable!
	⚡ 7:22am herb.nyc: peoplesforum.org... Uh. I meant the above
	7:24am V: Mornin’, anyone know what happened to Bryce’s archive?
	⚡ 7:24am herb.nyc: Hey tdk60! Thx for joining the protests. The people’s forum event will have proceeds for Gaza Al Yankovic was on wnyc- maybe he can turn Orange Juice’s “felicity” into “complicity”
	7:25am ?: ↳ herb.nyc @7:21 Carsie Blanton. Good
	⚡ 7:26am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @7:21 one protests because one is complicit...it's not like saying a hail mary...;)
	7:26am TDK60: ↳ herb.nyc @7:24 Good morning, herb. Are you at the food scrap recycling tent today?
	7:26am dale: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @7:10 don't know. aybe a one time thing that they are trying to make regular. their FB page says they are looking for vendors and hasn't been updated in a bit. it may be like the flea market that they tried to have in a field at the o.c. fairgrounds - never really took off.
	⚡ 7:28am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Song: "Clip: VOA-Turkey’s proposal to kill stray dogs sp... no no no no no no no not again oh my god i have nightmares about this
	7:28am dale: ↳ Song: "Clip: VOA-Turkey’s proposal to kill stray dogs sp... stray people are a menace to society.

	⚡ 7:33am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @7:28 I thought we were moving in the right direction turkey just recently banned the sale of dogs and cats because they are living beings not commodities and the same bill made animal abuse punishable with prison time for the first time ever

	7:35am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:33 Good day, don. Yes, you've been "touring." How were the shows?
	7:36am Strandlund: ↳ Brian D @7:29 Every time I hear you say "Mrs. Currents" I can't help but be reminded of the old saying, "I'm married to my job."
	⚡ 7:36am herb.nyc: ↳ Brian D @7:29 I guess the doggies will hafta be guests on the show too; how many wee wee pads dya need?

	7:37am Brian D: ↳ herb.nyc @7:36 None, man, my dogs aren't like that.
	⚡ 7:38am herb.nyc: ↳ TDK60 @7:31 Oh come on, they’re young and into sustainable greenosity. So not a bad chance they like cool stuff. I did say “ric ocasek of the cars” and Stefanie asked “who?” Haha

	7:38am morphe': ↳ Don in Tampere @7:33 Thought of you a week or 2 ago ... the article is from last year, but they were or are going to the lakes this year .. Is it news there??? "Saunas and Swastikas: Finland’s Summertime neo-Nazi Meet-Up" https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2023/08/31/saunas-and-swastikas-finlands-summertime-neo-nazi-meet-up/
	⚡ 7:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Clip: VOA-Turkey’s proposal to kill stray dogs sp... dickens said something about visiting prisons to gauge human rights in a country... similar to that seeing how animals are treated can be used as a test for how well human rights are implemented...of course not making an analogy between animals and prisoners....
	7:40am Fredericks: ↳ morphe' @7:17 Bear's Choice was/is a Pigpen focused compilation.
	⚡ 7:40am Spikey BXL: RIP Dr Ruth
	7:40am Brian D: ↳ Strandlund @7:38 Yes, thank you. Still doing PT, but much better.
	7:41am StringOFperils: Saw Dr. Ruth on the steps in front of The Met one time; she was so tiny for someone so great.
	7:41am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:40 Very true. Although having been to Istanbul, the people in the city love the street dogs and cats and treat them well.
	7:43am Cooh John: What choices for the Dr. Ruth story.
	⚡ 7:44am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Taking Tiger Mountain" by "Brian Eno" what was in the air that makes these albums so great
	7:44am StringOFperils: You were expecting AD/DC’s Give the Dog a Bone maybe?
	⚡ 7:45am Spikey BXL: ↳ Brian D @7:40 As always, send her our regards. Hey there Strand!
	⚡ 7:46am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Brian D @7:41 the Ottomans had a tradition of caring for all animals, building and funding bird hospitals, paying silver to bakeries so that they could afford to feed stray dogs and cats without going hungry themselves, even sending food into the hills to feed the wolves, the wicked island massacre saw 80,000 or more dogs rounded up and exiled to starve, too far from land to swim back but close enough for the people to hear them dying. It also saw an end to the bird hospitals, the subsidized feeding, and the people of turkiye still believe that this is what caused the fall of the empire
	⚡ 7:46am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @7:44 hate to "ha ha" at a dog's expense
	7:47am StringOFperils: If the spirit is willing…
	⚡ 7:48am William Hellfire: I saw PIL!!! with sugar cubes and New Order. Played duck duck goose in the hallway with the city kids.

	⚡ 7:50am tom tom the pipers son: @brian: i think that street animals doc was mentioned here before a long time ago
	7:50am ?: ↳ Song: "2HB" by "Bryan Ferry" Different mix than the LP version
	7:51am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Taking Tiger Mountain" by "Brian Eno" It's fine to hear Brian E. in various settings. I like that new song of his about aging and memory, "All I Remember."
	7:51am JohnEBGood: Hi DJ Brian. Thanx for the Eno and Currents. NJoy this beautiful day : )
	7:51am ∫ydniuß: Happy Eno day! New video made from found footage www.youtube.com... Brians UNITE
	⚡ 7:51am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian : do you know eno's collaboration with phil manzanera
	7:51am StringOFperils: More beat oriented for radio. Paul Thompson hardly ever played this lightly
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ @7:50 Yes, from a 45 box set I picked up last year.
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:51 I do. It just didn't make the cut today.
	7:52am morphe': ↳ TDK60 @7:51 TDK - hope all is well !!!
	7:54am dale: ↳ Song: "Lemon" by "U2" bought this cd. weird disco-y moment...
	7:55am TDK60: Hola morphe.' Things are mostly alright. I hope the same for you, on the dusty plain there. (Right?)
	7:56am Strandlund: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:45 Happy Saturday, Spikey!! Cheers to you and yours!! I hope the hand is getting better, day by day...
	7:57am morphe': ↳ TDK60 @7:55 Actually in Riga for a few with day trips to Vilnius and Tallinn ... first time ever, but was always curious ... going to the seaside for a shower and a beer ... back to Madrid and 100*f days Thursday ... UUUUGGGHHHH !!!!
	⚡ 7:57am tom tom the pipers son: i'm sure there were big bucks involved with the making of this album... but you have to wonder what eno was thinking working with u2...was he enteraining himself in some sort of bemused way?
	7:58am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:57 He worked with them on five records. Plus a side project. I think it was more than a passing fancy.
	⚡ 7:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:58 oh... then i'm way off base
	7:59am StringOFperils: U2 production is a well-paid gig. A lot of other ventures get funded that way. Beats washing dishes and digging ditches.
	8:00am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @7:57 Ah, interesting journey, sounds like.
	8:00am fred: ↳ dale @7:54 I did too, gave up on them soon after. I got old I guess
	8:00am JohnEBGood: U2 and Brian Eno together are awesome!!
	8:01am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Gun" by "John Cale" Now, we're talking.
	⚡ 8:01am Spikey BXL: ↳ Strandlund @7:56 Cheers, it is. I braced up and mowed the lawn this morning
	8:02am StringOFperils: FEAR remains one of my fave albums EVER.
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @7:59 i'm sure eno didn't have to choose between u2 and a ditch... but somehow u2/ditch make a resonant either /or
	8:03am ?: Due to the time limit, U2 were forced to write and record songs at a more rapid pace. They continued their long-time practice of jamming in the studio. Eno used an eraseable whiteboard to give instructions and cues to the band while they jammed; he pointed at chords and various commands, such as "hold", "stop", "change", and "change back", to direct their performances. Flood recorded the material, while Eno alternated between performing with U2 and joining Flood in the control room. At the end of a given week, Eno and Flood compared their notes and compiled the week's best jams onto a cassette for the band to listen to.
	8:04am Brian D: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:01 Good to hear!
	8:04am StringOFperils: I’d toss U2 into a ditch in a heartbeat, but I didn’t want to get into that.
	8:04am Brian D: ↳ @8:03 Shown in the version of the doc I saw.
	⚡ 8:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Gun" by "John Cale" such a treat to hear this ....
	8:05am TDK60: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:33 I forgot to say "hey" to Don in Tampere. Howdy.
	8:05am Strandlund: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:01 Excellent!! My lawn could use a good mowing...hint hint.
	8:06am StringOFperils: Saw Chris Spedding last February (finally!) Bittersweet. Hard to witness us all getting so old.
	⚡ 8:07am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Gun" by "John Cale" This is amazing!!!
	8:07am morphe': Must away ... exit stage left as SnagglePuss would say ...thanks BD and all ->>>
	⚡ 8:08am William Hellfire: ↳ morphe' @8:07 Snagglepuss!!!!!
	⚡ 8:08am Marley P. Dogg: Good morning Brian and firiends! Happy weekend!

	8:09am ?: ↳ StringOFperils @8:06 I saw Spedding with Sharks (Andy Fraser,Snips & Marty Simon in 1974 open for Roxy Music in NYC
	8:10am JohnEBGood: Gun. Okay song. Far short of Dancing With Mr D ; )
	8:11am StringOFperils: Wow! ? ! Lucky you! Snips’ band was the shit!
	8:11am ?: ↳ StringOFperils @8:11 Clay Pigeon plays them from time to time
	⚡ 8:11am Don in Tampere: ↳ Brian D @7:35 Hi Brian, I had two official shows at Kaustinen (one purely acoustic, one with PA and effects), plus a last-minute unofficial one in a small trailer, which was my favorite of my shows. Of the shows by others, the one that stayed most in memory was Anna Maret, a project with Sami joik singing, jouhikko, electronics and video. Can't wait for the album to come out in August.
	⚡ 8:12am Don in Tampere: ↳ Song: "Clip: FirstPost America-Germany's First Africa-Bo... Unfortunately, racism is getting worse, not better, in germany
	8:12am StringOFperils: There’s a nice video of Sharks’ ‘Sophistication’ on the U2ube
	8:12am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @8:11 Oooh, I only recently learned about the Sami people. Sounds interesting.
	⚡ 8:13am Don in Tampere: ↳ morphe' @7:38 Yes, there was something in the Finnish news about this. Apparently the police are on the case.
	8:13am bobobob plasticland like: I went to the Milwaukee music conservatory with Jim Siegfried now James Chance
	⚡ 8:13am Don in Tampere: ↳ Brian D @8:12 If the album is like the concert, it would be a good fit for Jeremiah's show
	8:13am fred: ↳ Don in Tampere @8:11 Hey Don, someone talked yesterday about the Finland bass solo competition. Is that a real thing?
	⚡ 8:14am Spikey BXL: Have to leave your great company - good day and thanks Brian
	8:14am fred: ↳ Don in Tampere @8:13 Before or after 5:30?
	8:15am Brian D: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:14 Likewise!
	⚡ 8:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Clip: FirstPost America-Germany's First Africa-Bo... witnessed a bit of racial weirdness in berlin in this sort of pick-up bar middle aged german women would wait around for groups of african men to come in and dance with them. this seemed to be a pre arranged activity... made me think of leni reifenstahl's photographs of african tribesmen
	8:16am bobob Plasticland: I met Herbie Hancock thru Jerry Harrison at Hooligans bar Milwaukee During Summerfest..nice
	⚡ 8:17am Don in Tampere: ↳ fred @8:14 Before the smooth jazz, which is usually when I tune out :D
	8:17am ?: ↳ StringOFperils @8:12 I remember Spedding on a cassette comp. from Polydor Records > The Guitar Jamboree was his contribution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZG_kXu4PEQ
	⚡ 8:17am Don in Tampere: ↳ fred @8:13 I haven't heard about it, but it's possible. What I do know is that Oulu hosts the world air guitar championships
	⚡ 8:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:15 weird exotic-izing
	8:19am StringOFperils: ?, he played that when I saw him. I think he’s in a final summary state of play.
	⚡ 8:19am Don in Tampere: ↳ @8:17 I have a Wombles album on which Chris Spedding plays. He does a killer solo on "Empty Tidy Bag Blues"
	8:21am StringOFperils: This is the LOW guy, right?

	⚡ 8:22am William Hellfire: Sounds like my car radio is broken
	8:23am Cooh John: Listening in a car.
	⚡ 8:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Cars" by "Winner" a kazoo version of cars would work nicely, i think
	⚡ 8:24am William Hellfire: I remember driving around stoned with my friends and eddie blade would tune in a non station on AM radio and turn on the windshield wipers and they would register a sound on the radio.
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:24 There's a hand-fart guy making the rounds at the station...
	8:27am Otto: Oh yeah baby, one of my all time favorites from the rainy El Niño days of mid-90s Haight Asbury

	8:36am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:31 He actually introduced it by saying it was an homage to Negativland, "a band none of you has heard of". So I talked to him the next week to chat about them. He was dismissive (I'm a lowly tech), but then pulled out a tablet and started taking notes
	8:36am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @8:25 Not like Keith Richards and Mick Taylor I hope.

	8:44am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:42 I hope so! I'm not responsible for his transportation.
	8:47am fred: ↳ Song: "Total Control" by "The Motels" Control theme? Who's next, Janet Jackson or Joy Division?
	⚡ 8:51am Will thee SG OCNY: Brian, I hope to meet you on this cruise.

	⚡ 6:25am Michael of Cologne: ↳ StringOFperils @6:23 Perhaps airports for music would be beneficial.

	7:50am ?: ↳ Song: "2HB" by "Bryan Ferry" Different mix than the LP version
	7:51am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Taking Tiger Mountain" by "Brian Eno" It's fine to hear Brian E. in various settings. I like that new song of his about aging and memory, "All I Remember."
	7:51am JohnEBGood: Hi DJ Brian. Thanx for the Eno and Currents. NJoy this beautiful day : )
	7:51am ∫ydniuß: Happy Eno day! New video made from found footage www.youtube.com... Brians UNITE
	⚡ 7:51am tom tom the pipers son: @ brian : do you know eno's collaboration with phil manzanera
	7:51am StringOFperils: More beat oriented for radio. Paul Thompson hardly ever played this lightly
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ @7:50 Yes, from a 45 box set I picked up last year.
	7:52am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:51 I do. It just didn't make the cut today.
	7:52am morphe': ↳ TDK60 @7:51 TDK - hope all is well !!!
	7:54am dale: ↳ Song: "Lemon" by "U2" bought this cd. weird disco-y moment...
	7:55am TDK60: Hola morphe.' Things are mostly alright. I hope the same for you, on the dusty plain there. (Right?)
	7:56am Strandlund: ↳ Spikey BXL @7:45 Happy Saturday, Spikey!! Cheers to you and yours!! I hope the hand is getting better, day by day...
	7:57am morphe': ↳ TDK60 @7:55 Actually in Riga for a few with day trips to Vilnius and Tallinn ... first time ever, but was always curious ... going to the seaside for a shower and a beer ... back to Madrid and 100*f days Thursday ... UUUUGGGHHHH !!!!
	⚡ 7:57am tom tom the pipers son: i'm sure there were big bucks involved with the making of this album... but you have to wonder what eno was thinking working with u2...was he enteraining himself in some sort of bemused way?
	7:58am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:57 He worked with them on five records. Plus a side project. I think it was more than a passing fancy.
	⚡ 7:59am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:58 oh... then i'm way off base
	7:59am StringOFperils: U2 production is a well-paid gig. A lot of other ventures get funded that way. Beats washing dishes and digging ditches.
	8:00am TDK60: ↳ morphe' @7:57 Ah, interesting journey, sounds like.
	8:00am fred: ↳ dale @7:54 I did too, gave up on them soon after. I got old I guess
	8:00am JohnEBGood: U2 and Brian Eno together are awesome!!
	8:01am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Gun" by "John Cale" Now, we're talking.
	⚡ 8:01am Spikey BXL: ↳ Strandlund @7:56 Cheers, it is. I braced up and mowed the lawn this morning
	8:02am StringOFperils: FEAR remains one of my fave albums EVER.
	⚡ 8:02am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @7:59 i'm sure eno didn't have to choose between u2 and a ditch... but somehow u2/ditch make a resonant either /or
	8:03am ?: Due to the time limit, U2 were forced to write and record songs at a more rapid pace. They continued their long-time practice of jamming in the studio. Eno used an eraseable whiteboard to give instructions and cues to the band while they jammed; he pointed at chords and various commands, such as "hold", "stop", "change", and "change back", to direct their performances. Flood recorded the material, while Eno alternated between performing with U2 and joining Flood in the control room. At the end of a given week, Eno and Flood compared their notes and compiled the week's best jams onto a cassette for the band to listen to.
	8:04am Brian D: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:01 Good to hear!
	8:04am StringOFperils: I’d toss U2 into a ditch in a heartbeat, but I didn’t want to get into that.
	8:04am Brian D: ↳ @8:03 Shown in the version of the doc I saw.
	⚡ 8:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Gun" by "John Cale" such a treat to hear this ....
	8:05am TDK60: ↳ Don in Tampere @7:33 I forgot to say "hey" to Don in Tampere. Howdy.
	8:05am Strandlund: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:01 Excellent!! My lawn could use a good mowing...hint hint.
	8:06am StringOFperils: Saw Chris Spedding last February (finally!) Bittersweet. Hard to witness us all getting so old.
	⚡ 8:07am William Hellfire: ↳ Song: "Gun" by "John Cale" This is amazing!!!
	8:07am morphe': Must away ... exit stage left as SnagglePuss would say ...thanks BD and all ->>>
	⚡ 8:08am William Hellfire: ↳ morphe' @8:07 Snagglepuss!!!!!
	⚡ 8:08am Marley P. Dogg: Good morning Brian and firiends! Happy weekend!
	⚡ 8:08am tom tom the pipers son: see ya morphe...
	8:09am TDK60: ↳ Song: "Gun" by "John Cale" Edgy for '74.
	8:09am Brian D: ↳ morphe' @8:07 He's got a schedule, evennnnn. Good day, Morphe.
	8:09am ?: ↳ StringOFperils @8:06 I saw Spedding with Sharks (Andy Fraser,Snips & Marty Simon in 1974 open for Roxy Music in NYC
	8:10am JohnEBGood: Gun. Okay song. Far short of Dancing With Mr D ; )
	8:11am StringOFperils: Wow! ? ! Lucky you! Snips’ band was the shit!
	8:11am ?: ↳ StringOFperils @8:11 Clay Pigeon plays them from time to time
	⚡ 8:11am Don in Tampere: ↳ Brian D @7:35 Hi Brian, I had two official shows at Kaustinen (one purely acoustic, one with PA and effects), plus a last-minute unofficial one in a small trailer, which was my favorite of my shows. Of the shows by others, the one that stayed most in memory was Anna Maret, a project with Sami joik singing, jouhikko, electronics and video. Can't wait for the album to come out in August.
	⚡ 8:12am Don in Tampere: ↳ Song: "Clip: FirstPost America-Germany's First Africa-Bo... Unfortunately, racism is getting worse, not better, in germany
	8:12am StringOFperils: There’s a nice video of Sharks’ ‘Sophistication’ on the U2ube
	8:12am Brian D: ↳ Don in Tampere @8:11 Oooh, I only recently learned about the Sami people. Sounds interesting.
	⚡ 8:13am Don in Tampere: ↳ morphe' @7:38 Yes, there was something in the Finnish news about this. Apparently the police are on the case.
	8:13am bobobob plasticland like: I went to the Milwaukee music conservatory with Jim Siegfried now James Chance
	⚡ 8:13am Don in Tampere: ↳ Brian D @8:12 If the album is like the concert, it would be a good fit for Jeremiah's show
	8:13am fred: ↳ Don in Tampere @8:11 Hey Don, someone talked yesterday about the Finland bass solo competition. Is that a real thing?
	⚡ 8:14am Spikey BXL: Have to leave your great company - good day and thanks Brian
	8:14am fred: ↳ Don in Tampere @8:13 Before or after 5:30?
	8:15am Brian D: ↳ Spikey BXL @8:14 Likewise!
	⚡ 8:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Clip: FirstPost America-Germany's First Africa-Bo... witnessed a bit of racial weirdness in berlin in this sort of pick-up bar middle aged german women would wait around for groups of african men to come in and dance with them. this seemed to be a pre arranged activity... made me think of leni reifenstahl's photographs of african tribesmen
	8:16am bobob Plasticland: I met Herbie Hancock thru Jerry Harrison at Hooligans bar Milwaukee During Summerfest..nice
	⚡ 8:17am Don in Tampere: ↳ fred @8:14 Before the smooth jazz, which is usually when I tune out :D
	8:17am ?: ↳ StringOFperils @8:12 I remember Spedding on a cassette comp. from Polydor Records > The Guitar Jamboree was his contribution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZG_kXu4PEQ
	⚡ 8:17am Don in Tampere: ↳ fred @8:13 I haven't heard about it, but it's possible. What I do know is that Oulu hosts the world air guitar championships
	⚡ 8:18am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:15 weird exotic-izing
	8:19am StringOFperils: ?, he played that when I saw him. I think he’s in a final summary state of play.
	⚡ 8:19am Don in Tampere: ↳ @8:17 I have a Wombles album on which Chris Spedding plays. He does a killer solo on "Empty Tidy Bag Blues"
	8:21am StringOFperils: This is the LOW guy, right?
	8:22am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @8:21 Si. New solo record.
	⚡ 8:22am William Hellfire: Sounds like my car radio is broken
	8:23am Cooh John: Listening in a car.
	⚡ 8:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Cars" by "Winner" a kazoo version of cars would work nicely, i think
	⚡ 8:24am William Hellfire: I remember driving around stoned with my friends and eddie blade would tune in a non station on AM radio and turn on the windshield wipers and they would register a sound on the radio.
	8:25am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:24 There's a hand-fart guy making the rounds at the station...
	8:27am Otto: Oh yeah baby, one of my all time favorites from the rainy El Niño days of mid-90s Haight Asbury
	⚡ 8:27am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:25 maybe suggest "cars" to them...
	8:28am ?: ↳ Brian D @8:25 For you: Africa : Toto :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF4BfDzkyi8
	8:29am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:24 Two years ago a young composer at work handed out kazoos to the audience to join him in a rendering of a U2 song
	8:29am ?: ↳ Song: "United Colours" by "Passengers" This is U2 Yes?
	8:31am Brian D: ↳ @8:29 Yes, with Eno and Lanois.
	⚡ 8:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:29 neat... perhaps suggest hand farts next time...
	8:32am ?: ↳ Brian D @8:31 A couple of years ago i spent the winter listening o everything available concerning ENO. His stuff, production related etc. It took me about two months
	8:32am StringOFperils: Stricter research regulations. Oh sure. I believe that 100%
	8:35am Brian D: ↳ @8:32 Surprised it took so little time...
	8:35am Brian D: ↳ StringOFperils @8:32 That was a sh*tty clip, to be fair.
	8:35am ?: ↳ Brian D @8:35 Dedication to task
	8:36am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:31 He actually introduced it by saying it was an homage to Negativland, "a band none of you has heard of". So I talked to him the next week to chat about them. He was dismissive (I'm a lowly tech), but then pulled out a tablet and started taking notes
	8:36am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @8:25 Not like Keith Richards and Mick Taylor I hope.
	8:36am StringOFperils: It was a shitty experiment
	8:37am StringOFperils: Oops sorry forgot it’s the main stream…dump that expletive if you like
	8:37am jelly jams: ↳ Song: "2HB" by "Bryan Ferry" Hiya Mr Currents; I’m curious abt this 45rpm/7”singles boxset = is it an All Roxy set or a mixed bag of 45’s? I woulda thought this version of “2HB” derives from “Let’s Stick Together” 1976 solo Ferry album?! I forgot that 2HB refers to Humphrey Bogart Casanova motifs. (as opposed to lead pencils & eggs)😜.
	8:40am Danny in Poughkeepsie: It was nice meeting you on last year’s cruise Brian. I won’t be on this years
	8:40am Brian D: ↳ jelly jams @8:37 Mixed. It's actually billed as Bryan Ferry... I should change it on the playlist: www.discogs.com...
	8:40am Brian D: ↳ Danny in Poughkeepsie @8:40 Likewise Danny! Was thinking of you today. Sorry to hear you won't be on the boat this time around.
	⚡ 8:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:36 hmmm...
	8:42am fred: Will Ken make it to the boat this time?
	8:44am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:42 I hope so! I'm not responsible for his transportation.
	8:47am fred: ↳ Song: "Total Control" by "The Motels" Control theme? Who's next, Janet Jackson or Joy Division?
	⚡ 8:51am Will thee SG OCNY: Brian, I hope to meet you on this cruise.
	8:54am jelly jams: ↳ Song: "Gaslight" by "F8tlstk" thanks Mr C. -appreciated the end run set of control songs etc. (that was the motels song that got my ears perked to them) 👏
