	🚂 12:06pm Bas NL: <<That's a lonely light post..
	12:06pm Really Lisa: Hey spodi!
	12:08pm coelacanth∅: redkayak it seems i haven't seen you in a while - or am i just hallucinating again
	🚂 12:08pm YETI BOB: Hi David and everyone. Keeping up my silly guessing game: today's guess is Gabon
	12:08pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, David and subterraneans!
	12:09pm David Dichelle: Bas: Yes, and not too far from where I live - a strange area, well hidden behind better looking buildings.
	🚂 12:09pm Michael 98145: Happy Old Year's Day, everyone

	🚂 12:09pm redkayak: @Doug - - HNY'21 to you..... And thanks for all the awesome music!
	12:09pm David Dichelle: And Michael - you as well!
	12:10pm coelacanth∅: are there better clues nearby as to what was there?
	🚂 12:10pm Bas NL: It very much looks like a place once very important!
	12:11pm spodiodi: Bas, you're not kidding :) hi YB, Doug Schulkind and Michael (HOY!)
	12:11pm coelacanth∅: if it weren't for the lamp post my first guess would be a landing strip
	🚂 12:11pm Carmichael: I'm guessing The Antilles.
	12:12pm spodiodi: has Tuvalu been done?
	12:12pm spodiodi: Los Estados Unidos?
	12:13pm coelacanth∅: i haven't thought of the last thing i'll think of yet
	🚂 12:13pm Bas NL: Hi spodi! Last place.. The UK?
	12:13pm Sem: Brunei.
	12:13pm Sem: ..and greets, 'spodi'!
	🚂 12:14pm chresti: A parking lot. Hi coel
	🚂 12:14pm chresti: Hi spodi\\ //
	12:14pm coelacanth∅: he said maybe something never even heard of, so now i'm trying to think of a place i've never heard of
	12:15pm coelacanth∅: aloha chresti
	12:15pm spodiodi: \\// chresti, what's your guess?
	12:15pm Stanley: Darkest Dumfriesshire checking in. Hi David Bonnie Lad.
	🚂 12:16pm Handy Haversack: Greetings, David and all Straphangers! Happy Old Year's Day! Once again: the Gambia.
	12:16pm David Dichelle: Stanley: A very good evening to you, sir!
	🚂 12:16pm YETI BOB: I don't know if I would have thought of "Gabon", I have a little help from my computer and the ISO-3166 database
	12:16pm David Dichelle: And to you Handy, and the afternoon that comes with it!
	🚂 12:16pm chresti: Guess a country I've never heard of, hmmm..
	12:16pm spodiodi: Stanley, Handy tips strap (stick to your guns, Handy!)
	12:17pm David Dichelle: No, not the US or UK, as obscure as they may well be.
	12:18pm coelacanth∅: tristan de cunha?
	🚂 12:18pm Bas NL: Least obscure i could think of.. ;)
	12:19pm Really Lisa: Never heard of, till trying out yet another random country generator: Saint Pierre and Miquelon There. No more guessing for 2020!
	12:19pm coelacanth∅: ...i could have thought of gabon because i knew someone who lived there for the peace corps.
	🚂 12:19pm Handy Haversack: Hey, spodi, coela, chresti, Bas, YB. Jolly Hogmanay, Stanley.
	12:19pm spodiodi: i didn't know Nepal had such an interesting flag 🇳🇵
	12:19pm David Dichelle: Bas: Yes, it looks like a former military installation, although I am not entirely sure to be honest.
	12:20pm coelacanth∅: howdy Handy
	🚂 12:21pm Carmichael: The female voice on this Nic Jones song is completely uncredited. Nowhere to be found on the internet. Calling Webhamster Henry!
	12:22pm coelacanth∅: i often have a feeling there are well-known countries that i've never heard of... or that i missed the memo that the name had changed
	🚂 12:22pm Bas NL: Hi Handy! @David Former military is always exciting! (Or explosive..)
	12:22pm David Dichelle: Sorry about the mix-up, this is Nic Jones. That was Corrina Hewatt. The old playlist switcheroo...
	12:23pm spodiodi: now ya see it, now ya don't
	12:23pm spodiodi: like 3 card monte like pea under the shell
	🚂 12:23pm chresti: eSwatini?
	12:24pm coelacanth∅: looks like a bait and switch to me!
	12:24pm spodiodi: never heard of before: √
	12:24pm David Dichelle: Coel: You got me there!
	🚂 12:24pm chresti: Hi Handy!
	12:24pm Stanley: You don't find any boys being named Annachie nowadays.
	12:25pm David Dichelle: Or Auchanachie
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: but if you've heard of the country by it's former name - have you heard of it?
	12:25pm spodiodi: at least there's Stanley Tucci
	12:26pm spodiodi: and Sue
	🚂 12:26pm Carmichael: Burma!
	12:27pm David Dichelle: Coel: Not in this case.
	🚂 12:28pm Yvang: Hello and Happy New Roud, David and Travelers!
	12:29pm David Dichelle: A very happy one to you as well, Yvang!
	🚂 12:29pm chresti: Djibouti?
	12:30pm spodiodi: hey Yvang!
	12:30pm spodiodi: i can't escape my bootie
	12:31pm spodiodi: i like Cindy Mangsen's version best so far
	12:31pm David Dichelle: All fine guesses, everyone! One last hint: It's only sort of independent.
	🚂 12:32pm redkayak: They don't write 'em like this anymore :D
	12:32pm spodiodi: that's a big clue
	🚂 12:32pm Brian in UK: Hello David & fellow travellers. You used to be able to get a seat on this conveyance; not any more.
	12:33pm David Dichelle: Spodi: True, and still I'd say not easy to guess.
	12:33pm Sem: This train is so crowded nobody comes here any more.
	12:33pm spodiodi: this link has a nice red cell color indicating lack of sovereignty simple.wikipedia.org...
	12:33pm doctorjazz: Hey, New Years Eve Riders! A Happy and Healthy to all!
	🚂 12:33pm Handy Haversack: Annikin Skywalker might have poisoned all similar-sounding names.
	12:34pm spodiodi: a country claimed by CHina is the most probable, imho
	12:34pm David Dichelle: Hello Brian, there is always one in reserve for you!
	12:34pm spodiodi: aloha, doctorjazz
	12:34pm David Dichelle: A happy and especially healthy one to you as well, Doc J.!
	12:35pm David Dichelle: (I better stop giving out hints lest I spoil it)
	12:35pm spodiodi: Abkhazia? Artsakh?
	12:36pm spodiodi: sorry, i'm submitting too many guesses
	12:36pm coelacanth∅: neverneverland?
	12:36pm David Dichelle: I do love the guesses, though!
	🚂 12:36pm Brian in UK: Been fascinated by Svalbard the last few days; it look astounding, trouble is full darkness Nov-Feb & full daylight thereafter. Madness ensues.
	12:36pm spodiodi: Transnistria? (ignore me)
	12:37pm David Dichelle: Brian: A friend of mine did research there, it was quite an adventure.
	12:38pm Stanley: Mary Black has an amazing voice
	🚂 12:39pm Carmichael: Semi-independent, eh! Lesotho!
	🚂 12:41pm Handy Haversack: Transnistria?
	🚂 12:42pm Brian in UK: Coal was the main reason for people being there, Russia had a big interest. Now it is almost all research & tourism, oh and this... www.regjeringen.no...
	12:42pm Sem: Transnistria, Transdniestria, or Pridnestrovie, officially the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic
	12:42pm Stanley: Catalunya?
	12:42pm David Dichelle: Some of these guesses are great ideas for an expanded list someday. After we get through the first 230 or so of course.
	🚂 12:43pm Handy Haversack: I got no other plans the next four years of Thursdays.
	🚂 12:43pm Brian in UK: Stanley, is it a bit fresh up yonder?
	12:44pm spodiodi: three calls for Transnistria
	12:44pm Stanley: Fresh, Brian? Brass monkeys, mate.
	🚂 12:45pm Bas NL: Great song! And great renditions all around.
	12:45pm coelacanth∅: duh. i've read about the seed vault but forgot where it is.
	🚂 12:46pm Handy Haversack: Stanley, one of the Edinburgh lads cleared 45p in poker yesterday and was very excited for the two bags of Space Raiders in his future.
	12:46pm Really Lisa: Wishing everyone a better new year. Just going to listen for the remainder of the journey.
	🚂 12:46pm Handy Haversack: Happy wishes to you as well, Lisa!
	🚂 12:47pm Brian in UK: Really Lisa, hello. Been out running at all?
	12:48pm spodiodi: Space Raiders are new to me, but who can argue with flavors like "pickled onion"?
	12:49pm spodiodi: to you as well, Lisa ✌️
	12:49pm coelacanth∅: - and comic too,no?
	12:49pm coelacanth∅: (Juana)
	🚂 12:50pm Handy Haversack: Hard to leave during Juana Molina, but we need to grab a few things from the store. Hope to be back for Random Road. Final guess: Niue!
	🚂 12:51pm Brian in UK: So David, would the country selected already have had New Year? (whispers to listeners; do you think this subtle question will fool him?)
	12:51pm David Dichelle: Handy, that was another great guess. Happy shopping!
	12:51pm Really Lisa: Thank you Handy. Hi Brian, thanks for asking; been trying, struggling to be honest. But not here to dwell. Better if I step away and just soak up the music for the duration. Safe, healthy New Year, sincerely. Thank you, spodi. And favorite Juana Molina song for me. Perfect, ty for the show, David.
	12:52pm David Dichelle: Always my pleasure, Lisa!
	12:53pm still b/p: I sure like the idea of alien-shaped snacks, but all the flavors I just checked are beyond my universe of appeal. Won't boldly go to that bowl.
	🚂 12:53pm Michael 98145: Juana for the win
	12:54pm David Dichelle: Brian: No, actually they haven't, which narrows things down, I suppose.
	12:54pm David Dichelle: Hey there still b/p!
	🚂 12:54pm WR: Breakout drummer stream artist. Mary Wing played Un Dia, the last tracks on the album, yesterday. Not complaining, have the album in my wish list.
	🚂 12:54pm Bas NL: Nice this Juana Molina track!
	🚂 12:55pm WR: Oh. Pardon my rudeness. Hello David and Continental riders.
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: i remember the wikipedia page for Juana Molina 5-10 years ago called her a comic and an actress. it did have her discography, but the music aspect of her life was barely mentioned.
	12:56pm David Dichelle: Hey WR, it is a hot item on the Drummer Charts!
	12:56pm spodiodi: aloha, WR
	12:57pm coelacanth∅: hola WR
	🚂 1:05pm chresti: I heard it too, somewhere, maybe on Stork's show?
	1:07pm David Dichelle: I just checked and other versions have been played on a number of different shows, looks like a WFMU favorite!
	🚂 1:07pm chresti: \\//\\//R!
	1:10pm northguineahills: Been, here, Annachie Gordon is a new one for me!
	1:10pm David Dichelle: Hey, NGH, happy to have you here.
	🚂 1:11pm WR: The cover for Cheikh Sidi Bémol is charming. www.discogs.com...
	1:12pm spodiodi: very nice
	🚂 1:13pm WR: And it took 4 tries to stop autocorrect from overwriting Cheikh as Christmas.
	🚂 1:17pm WR: If I had all the time in the world I would look to see if there is any relation between Annachie and Annikin. For now just wash my lunch bowl and back to work, will be listening.
	1:17pm David Dichelle: Could be a subconscious influence, one never knows...
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: how do you get autoincorrect to stop making the same incorrection every time? in other words: "4 tries" - is that typing the same thing over and over, or doing something different each time?
	1:29pm coelacanth∅: never mind, i can kind of imagine what happens.
	1:30pm northguineahills: 4 tries, I've had more then five (when texting non-English phrases).
	1:30pm David Dichelle: Autocorrect can be a trying experience.
	1:31pm northguineahills: I got autocarrot once when texting, so, I use it from now on when referencing autocorrect.
	🚂 1:34pm chresti: I wish there was a way to disable autocorrect on my phone.
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: i feel certain that the amount of time people spend on follow-up messages to explain their previous posts, and the time spent trying to manually override the incorrection outweighs any time theoretically saved by having it engaged. ... and then there's the fact that it encourages ignorance in the spelling department.
	1:36pm coelacanth∅: chresti are you sure? ...is it an iphone? (in which case i wont be that surprised)
	1:37pm northguineahills: Many Malian bands went to Bamako during the Islamist insurrection (They frowned upon western-influenced music, if they actually approved of music at all)(the Islamic insurrection was in the Sahel/Sahara region of Mali, until the French put it down. There are still pockets of resistence.)
	1:37pm spodiodi: chresti, if it's an android, maybe trying this: Go to Settings > System > Languages & input > Virtual keyboard. Pick the keyboard. Tap Text correction, and toggle Auto-correction off.
	🚂 1:38pm chresti: The laptop just underlines things that it thinks is not correct, I'll look it up and prove it wrong.
	1:38pm spodiodi: iphone: Go to your iPhone’s home screen. Tap on the Settings icon. In the menu of options that pops up, tap on General. On the new screen that you are taken to, open Keyboard Settings. Find the All Keyboards section. In this section, find Auto-Correction and toggle the button next to it so that it goes from green to white.
	🚂 1:39pm chresti: Ah, thanks spodi.
	1:39pm northguineahills: @spodi: I thought about using espanol on my settings on my iPhone, but, I use other languages as well. (I use mostly Spanglish when texting my partner).
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: was Annachie in jail for being an anachist?
	1:40pm spodiodi: i've got an iphone and an android tablet (though i admit that i've never turned either auto-correct off -- as annoying as it is. anyway, just curious myself, so shared) yw, chresti \\//
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: my laptop does that (chresti @138) i'm fine with that, even though it's wrong not infrequently.
	1:41pm spodiodi: ah computer... i wont bother posting, but i think win10 and macos should both have the same disable-type capability/option
	1:42pm David Dichelle: NGH: Some keyboard apps allow for multiple languages, if that helps.
	🚂 1:42pm chresti: The iphone has the little bubble with the x, which works fine if I have my glasses on and am not in a hurry.
	1:43pm northguineahills: (and as everyone here knows, cthulhlu knows what language I use w/ my friends. I had a friend text me back, "use English!". I replied, "It's not my fault you're not multilingual". (most friends are cool, especially w/ espanol o aleman...)
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: the underline has helped me a few times... especially with the mental-block words. the ones that never seem to sink in. but mostly i ignore it.
	1:44pm spodiodi: ngh, that has to be frustrating
	🚂 1:44pm WR: twist is a tlest. clristmas! whhat yah klow. now it is just me and my horrid tapping skill. oh yeah, lunch over. laters.
	🚂 1:44pm Handy Haversack: Back! Random Road still unrevealed? This sounds great! ngh, you find your car?
	1:44pm spodiodi: i'm pretty much the same as you coelacanth... mostly i ignore it
	1:44pm Funky16Corners: Hi David!
	1:45pm David Dichelle: Thanks Handy, and welcome back. RR at the top of the hour.
	1:45pm northguineahills: @David, unfortunately, gringo Spanglish isn't an official language....
	1:45pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry, happy new year!
	🚂 1:45pm chresti: WR, that's entertainment!
	1:45pm David Dichelle: NGH: It should be!
	🚂 1:46pm chresti: I love docjazz's typos.
	1:46pm David Dichelle: Have a happy and healthy one, WR!
	1:47pm coelacanth∅: in the days of olde, a business executive had to have separate telephones on his desk to call and receive multiple calls and for conference calls. maybe that's what you need ngh. one phone for espanol and one for english
	1:47pm Funky16Corners: Happy New Year!
	1:48pm northguineahills: @Handy: It has all of my clothes (two suitcases), my toiletries, a $600 unemployment payment card (the one before direct deposit kicked in). It was repossessed. I need $3.5K to get it back. I should have used cash at this hotel.....
	1:49pm northguineahills: at least I have my laptop and phone....
	1:49pm northguineahills: It also had my medication, which is $150/a pop...(for my psyrosis).
	1:50pm David in London: Sorry, late arrival into the carriage. Hello David. Greetings New Year groovers: Handy, Spod, Coela, NGH!
	1:50pm spodiodi: damn, ngh
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: chresti yes dr.j does typos like nobody's business!
	1:50pm northguineahills: Happy words, David!!! 2020 hit me again!!!
	1:50pm spodiodi: howdy, David!
	1:51pm David Dichelle: Welcome aboard, David!
	1:51pm spodiodi: i laughed when you typed that you love doctorjazz typos too chresti (coel) :)
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: - there used to be someone else in the peanut gallery with entertaining typos but not lately. the one that persistently called you "chestry"?
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: 'evening David
	1:52pm spodiodi: i couldn't really think of one, but he's diligent about correcting them -- and they're have been some funny ones (just wish i had a better memory)
	1:53pm northguineahills: better then "crusty"!
	🚂 1:53pm Carmichael: That's Listener John, who I think uses a cell phone. little letters, big fingers. Like me ...
	1:53pm spodiodi: there* (good heavens)
	1:54pm spodiodi: i shouldn't have skipped second breakfast
	🚂 1:54pm Handy Haversack: Ugh, ngh, that's rough. This freaking year.
	🚂 1:55pm Handy Haversack: David! Was wondering what had kept you. Glad your year is even closer to over!
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: actually spodi i mentioned the entertainment value of dr.j's typos a year or 2 ago and they have become less crazy since then. maybe i shouldn't have said anything! they used to be hillarious!
	1:56pm coelacanth∅: that sounds right Carm
	1:56pm northguineahills: silver lining at least I don't have to call/interact w/ the cops.... (went to go get ice at 1am last night, and saw four in tactical gear). At least, the manager likes me. I speak to him en espanol, and he gave me 60% off (from the guy in front of me), I did so the people behind me in line wouldn't understand I was getting a deal.
	🚂 1:58pm chresti: I think it may be he's not out and about as much during the pandemic, coel?
	1:58pm David in London: Handy, I’m out at the ancestral village for NYE and so off the comments board so as not to overstrain the rather temperamental WiFi. How are you mate? Have we not done random road then? I’m in for Pakistan!
	2:00pm northguineahills: If I didn't know better, I would think this is Garbor Szabo!
	🚂 2:00pm Brian in UK: Hello David in London, nice try. It is Gibraltar! Don't you monkey with the monkey.
	🚂 2:02pm Handy Haversack: I had a feeling, David! Hope it's green and peaceful. All good here. We secured some dinner groceries, bubbly, the dog's ear medicine and all is well as it can be. Check out efd's year-end show in the archives if you get the chance. It was a scorcher!
	🚂 2:02pm Brian in UK: Do you think it is true that women generally have neater/legible handwriting than men?
	2:03pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Evening, David, listeners happy new beginnings
	2:03pm David in London: Hi Brian. And a HNY to you sir. Handy, ah, OK, ta muchly. Will give that an ear tomorrow I think.
	2:04pm spodiodi: evening, Sylvia
	🚂 2:04pm Bas NL: Drumroll...
	2:04pm northguineahills: @Brian: looks and my penmanship, and my partner's Most definitely! (I can't even read my own hinduesque chicken-scratch).
	2:04pm Sylvia (France-NYC): @Brian that's only because women are expected to have nice handwriting #patriarchy
	🚂 2:05pm Handy Haversack: I WON! This is the best thing that has happened in 2020! Things are already turning around! (K8: "Niue? That's a real place? And you guessed it?") Also: what Sylivia said.
	2:06pm spodiodi: nice one, Handy!
	🚂 2:07pm Bas NL: Tasty bag of Niue snacks to you Handy!
	🚂 2:07pm Handy Haversack: I am twelve days older than Niue's self-governance. It was fated to be.
	2:08pm northguineahills: When I was 14, I did a WC w/ every country and territory. I would throw a ball on the second story, and it would hit the first story and I would either volley, head, or bicycle kick the ball into the goal. Short story long, the final was Niue vs the USA. Niue won! (I had a notebook of the brackets I made).
	2:08pm David in London: Niue, Handy, man that’s a rare bullseye and no mistake! It wasn’t Gib then? Hey Sylvia.
	2:09pm David Dichelle: Congrats, Handy!
	2:09pm David Dichelle: And welcome, Sylvia!
	2:10pm David Dichelle: NGH: That is quite a matchup, although Niue might even have a chance in rugby.
	2:10pm northguineahills: (my Niue interest story)
	🚂 2:11pm Handy Haversack: Thank you all. I will ride this high all year! Wait, dang it.
	2:12pm David in London: Handy, you don’t have previously undisclosed links to the Niue industrial complex do you?
	2:13pm Stanley: Radom my arse. That Handy has powers.
	2:13pm Stanley: n
	2:14pm Ira: That last song reminded me of Easter Island music
	2:14pm northguineahills: Back in 1990, Niue might have had a chance, but USA rugby has gotten competitive recently....
	🚂 2:15pm Handy Haversack: Radon your arse, Stanley? That can be arranged. I'll use my powers!
	2:16pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I've been here since the beginning but busy cooking burgers for my children
	2:16pm northguineahills: (said WC took over a year) @Ira: I've been rooting for Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and Pitcairn Island to get their turn on Random Road.
	2:17pm northguineahills: Also, Niue, has probably the sweetest-ass Union Jack flag....
	2:17pm David Dichelle: Hello Ira, a lot of water between the two, but not much else.
	2:17pm Stanley: I am new to Niue and had to look it up. (My reputation is now in shreads)
	2:18pm spodiodi: 🇳🇺 not bad, ngh. i like all the stars
	2:18pm northguineahills: (flag w/ a union jack, it's in the corner w/ an orange field...)
	2:19pm David in London: Yo Stanloid. HNY to you!
	🚂 2:19pm Handy Haversack: Does Queen Elizabeth own all the swans of Niue then too?
	2:19pm Stanley: ngh - and they've added some stars to the Union Jack
	2:20pm Stanley: Hi David. Same to you, my friend.
	2:21pm Stanley: They citizens worship her as a god. no wait that's Prince Phillip
	2:21pm northguineahills: they've changed to a more yellowish hue. The stars are from the original premier's wife's design (no explanation).
	2:21pm spodiodi: my folks drove my first car up here from Niue
	2:22pm David in London: Don’t bring that up Handy, I once did a five year stretch in the Scrubs for unauthorised swan eating.
	2:22pm spodiodi: no that's not a dead pixel... www.the-games-blog.com... ha
	2:23pm spodiodi: nice sounds David. thanks for the random road
	2:24pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Spodiodi, it is my great pleasure!
	2:24pm Stanley: Haha David. You obviously didn't go to St John's College, Cambridge.
	2:24pm northguineahills: @spodi: invoking my Dead Milkmen "Isn't Nieu and island?" Was it a Bitchin' Camaro!???
	2:25pm spodiodi: gold star NGH 8^D indeed!
	2:26pm northguineahills: OK, Handy, I got to use that image on a certain subreddit....
	2:26pm spodiodi: i expected Handy to chime in (i forget how/when dead milkmen came up recently)
	🚂 2:27pm Bas NL: Good thing most Niueans seem to be musicians!
	2:27pm Stanley: Can't imagine the cost of living on Niue. The Isle of Arran is bad enough.
	2:28pm David Dichelle: Bas: Exactly!
	🚂 2:28pm Handy Haversack: Ha, sorry, spodi -- I was distracted picturing David and the rest of the Swan Gang getting hunted down by the bobbies.
	2:29pm David Dichelle: This one has the capital town Alofi in the title. Nui means "great", I believe.
	2:29pm northguineahills: Correct, David!
	2:30pm spodiodi: don't mind the donuts in your lawn, Handy
	2:30pm coelacanth∅: nice work,Handy!
	2:30pm northguineahills: @Bas: Just wait until we get to San Marino, Pitcairn, Tokelau....! (then there's St Helena)
	2:32pm David in London: You’ll never take me alive copper.
	2:32pm northguineahills: (curious if David actually hits the Vatican)....(probably a lot of material)
	🚂 2:32pm Handy Haversack: David, one of my friends in Edinburgh has a coffee mug with a picture of the queen on it and the legend "I EAT SWANS." Thanks, coela! It is precisely fitting and meet that I would find a community that values accomplishing something as tiny and nerdy as this achievement as much as I do! You all are the best!
	2:32pm Stanley: As usual, David, you have picked a sweet selection
	2:33pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Stanley!
	🚂 2:33pm Bas NL: @ngh ha, ha! Can't wait! (And i was just about to throw up Vatican City too..)
	2:33pm spodiodi: \m/ Black Fairies \m/
	2:34pm David Dichelle: Yeah, unfortunately not every place on the list works, but Niue was a very pleasant surprise.
	2:34pm David in London: Handy, I still have my Queen’s Silver Jubilee mug from 1977. I can feel a homemade adaptation coming on...
	🚂 2:35pm Handy Haversack: The dog got jealous of my success and just broke up a congratulatory couch cuddle with Kate! Faithless beast!
	2:36pm spodiodi: i can almost hear the surf and birds
	2:36pm northguineahills: I think Tokelau is the smallest fully autonomous territory (also administered by the Kiwis), albeit the Vatican is fully independent, and Pitcairn also has their own domain suffix...
	2:36pm spodiodi: man's best friend, indeed
	2:36pm coelacanth∅: Handy, we're all geeks on this bus
	2:36pm northguineahills: (smallest, pop-wise)
	2:36pm Stanley: David, that's funny. I came accross my Charles and Diana commemorative mug the other day.
	2:38pm David in London: Stanley, oh, good work there. I’m a sucker for those ludicrous commemorative mugs.
	🚂 2:40pm Handy Haversack: Jeffrey Jeffrey's cover of "New York, New York" would probably be excellent too!
	2:41pm Stanley: My Charles and Di mug is particularly naff. Plus if dropped (we had another) it explodes into a million pieces of some seriously dodgy glass like material.
	2:41pm David Dichelle: I don't know whether this was ever used for a commercial but it should be.
	2:43pm David Dichelle: Is there even an Air Nauru?
	2:44pm northguineahills: Stanley, are you crowning? sorry, couldn't help it
	2:44pm northguineahills: I believe they are severed by Air New Zealand
	2:45pm northguineahills: errr, served (still like my typo)
	2:45pm Funky16Corners: This sounds like an adaptation of something, but I can’t think of what...
	2:45pm David Dichelle: There is a Nauru Airlines, so I guess it wasn't for an ad after all.
	2:46pm Stanley: Sure ngh, it's my only claim to fame. Severed Hand Airlines?
	2:46pm David Dichelle: Larry, I often have that feeling about songs but often can't quite figure it out. The next (and last) song won't be hard to place, though.
	2:49pm spodiodi: nice
	2:50pm Funky16Corners: Cool!
	2:50pm northguineahills: @Stanley: That would be Brussels Airlines, w/ flights from Brussels to Kinshasa (nee, Leopoldville).
	🚂 2:50pm Bas NL: Love the island vibe!
	2:51pm David in London: This is lots of fun.
	🚂 2:52pm Brian in UK: David, thanks for all you have done this year.
	🚂 2:52pm Handy Haversack: This has been a great Random Road -- so fun! We just had a couple of friends come over for an outdoor NYE drink, so I'll be away from the keyboard. Thanks for all, David! I am so glad to have found your show this year. It's been a real bright spot every week, with great music and conversation. I'm deeply grateful. Merry Hogmanay all you Straphangers! See youse soon!
	2:53pm spodiodi: thanks, David! hangs Continental Subway 2021 schedule on fridge
	2:53pm David in London: Thanks David, great show. And a HNY to you.
	🚂 2:54pm Bas NL: Super job on Niue David! Thanks for a fantastic listening year! Happy New Year all!
	2:54pm spodiodi: and Happy Niue Year!
	2:55pm northguineahills: That was awesome, David, thanks! Never heard Niuean music before!
	🚂 2:55pm chresti: Thanks David! See you next year!
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, David, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
	2:56pm northguineahills: If I make it to the line tonight, I'll be fine.!
	2:56pm Stanley: David. I echo the above sentiments and thank you very much for the amazing music each week. Happy New Year to you and everyone. Got to go now, to look for those Lost Liku Lovers.
	🚂 2:56pm Yvang: Thanks David! See you on the random road next year!
	2:58pm Sem: Many thanks, David, for the roads you take us down, and the rails we never thought to ride. Be well, see you and all aboard next time.
	2:58pm Donovan∅: the Niue Airline - gets you there on time
	🚂 2:59pm WR: thank you David!
	2:59pm David Dichelle: Thanks, everyone! And a happy and healthy new year!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks David! Happy New Year to you as well!
	🚂 5:26pm Michael 98145: These shows are just brilliant. Happier New Year, all. 🔔🎇

	🚂 12:08pm YETI BOB: Hi David and everyone. Keeping up my silly guessing game: today's guess is Gabon
	12:08pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, David and subterraneans!
	12:09pm David Dichelle: Bas: Yes, and not too far from where I live - a strange area, well hidden behind better looking buildings.

	12:10pm coelacanth∅: are there better clues nearby as to what was there?
	🚂 12:10pm Bas NL: It very much looks like a place once very important!
	12:11pm spodiodi: Bas, you're not kidding :) hi YB, Doug Schulkind and Michael (HOY!)
	12:11pm coelacanth∅: if it weren't for the lamp post my first guess would be a landing strip
	🚂 12:11pm Carmichael: I'm guessing The Antilles.
	12:12pm spodiodi: has Tuvalu been done?
	12:12pm spodiodi: Los Estados Unidos?
	12:13pm coelacanth∅: i haven't thought of the last thing i'll think of yet
	🚂 12:13pm Bas NL: Hi spodi! Last place.. The UK?
	12:13pm Sem: Brunei.
	12:13pm Sem: ..and greets, 'spodi'!
	🚂 12:14pm chresti: A parking lot. Hi coel
	🚂 12:14pm chresti: Hi spodi\\ //
	12:14pm coelacanth∅: he said maybe something never even heard of, so now i'm trying to think of a place i've never heard of
	12:15pm coelacanth∅: aloha chresti
	12:15pm spodiodi: \\// chresti, what's your guess?
	12:15pm Stanley: Darkest Dumfriesshire checking in. Hi David Bonnie Lad.
	🚂 12:16pm Handy Haversack: Greetings, David and all Straphangers! Happy Old Year's Day! Once again: the Gambia.
	12:16pm David Dichelle: Stanley: A very good evening to you, sir!
	🚂 12:16pm YETI BOB: I don't know if I would have thought of "Gabon", I have a little help from my computer and the ISO-3166 database
	12:16pm David Dichelle: And to you Handy, and the afternoon that comes with it!
	🚂 12:16pm chresti: Guess a country I've never heard of, hmmm..
	12:16pm spodiodi: Stanley, Handy tips strap (stick to your guns, Handy!)
	12:17pm David Dichelle: No, not the US or UK, as obscure as they may well be.
	12:18pm coelacanth∅: tristan de cunha?
	🚂 12:18pm Bas NL: Least obscure i could think of.. ;)
	12:19pm Really Lisa: Never heard of, till trying out yet another random country generator: Saint Pierre and Miquelon There. No more guessing for 2020!
	12:19pm coelacanth∅: ...i could have thought of gabon because i knew someone who lived there for the peace corps.
	🚂 12:19pm Handy Haversack: Hey, spodi, coela, chresti, Bas, YB. Jolly Hogmanay, Stanley.
	12:19pm spodiodi: i didn't know Nepal had such an interesting flag 🇳🇵
	12:19pm David Dichelle: Bas: Yes, it looks like a former military installation, although I am not entirely sure to be honest.
	12:20pm coelacanth∅: howdy Handy
	🚂 12:21pm Carmichael: The female voice on this Nic Jones song is completely uncredited. Nowhere to be found on the internet. Calling Webhamster Henry!
	12:22pm coelacanth∅: i often have a feeling there are well-known countries that i've never heard of... or that i missed the memo that the name had changed
	🚂 12:22pm Bas NL: Hi Handy! @David Former military is always exciting! (Or explosive..)
	12:22pm David Dichelle: Sorry about the mix-up, this is Nic Jones. That was Corrina Hewatt. The old playlist switcheroo...
	12:23pm spodiodi: now ya see it, now ya don't
	12:23pm spodiodi: like 3 card monte like pea under the shell
	🚂 12:23pm chresti: eSwatini?
	12:24pm coelacanth∅: looks like a bait and switch to me!
	12:24pm spodiodi: never heard of before: √
	12:24pm David Dichelle: Coel: You got me there!
	🚂 12:24pm chresti: Hi Handy!
	12:24pm Stanley: You don't find any boys being named Annachie nowadays.
	12:25pm David Dichelle: Or Auchanachie
	12:25pm coelacanth∅: but if you've heard of the country by it's former name - have you heard of it?
	12:25pm spodiodi: at least there's Stanley Tucci
	12:26pm spodiodi: and Sue
	🚂 12:26pm Carmichael: Burma!
	12:27pm David Dichelle: Coel: Not in this case.
	🚂 12:28pm Yvang: Hello and Happy New Roud, David and Travelers!
	12:29pm David Dichelle: A very happy one to you as well, Yvang!
	🚂 12:29pm chresti: Djibouti?
	12:30pm spodiodi: hey Yvang!
	12:30pm spodiodi: i can't escape my bootie
	12:31pm spodiodi: i like Cindy Mangsen's version best so far
	12:31pm David Dichelle: All fine guesses, everyone! One last hint: It's only sort of independent.
	🚂 12:32pm redkayak: They don't write 'em like this anymore :D
	12:32pm spodiodi: that's a big clue
	🚂 12:32pm Brian in UK: Hello David & fellow travellers. You used to be able to get a seat on this conveyance; not any more.
	12:33pm David Dichelle: Spodi: True, and still I'd say not easy to guess.
	12:33pm Sem: This train is so crowded nobody comes here any more.
	12:33pm spodiodi: this link has a nice red cell color indicating lack of sovereignty simple.wikipedia.org...
	12:33pm doctorjazz: Hey, New Years Eve Riders! A Happy and Healthy to all!
	🚂 12:33pm Handy Haversack: Annikin Skywalker might have poisoned all similar-sounding names.
	12:34pm spodiodi: a country claimed by CHina is the most probable, imho
	12:34pm David Dichelle: Hello Brian, there is always one in reserve for you!
	12:34pm spodiodi: aloha, doctorjazz
	12:34pm David Dichelle: A happy and especially healthy one to you as well, Doc J.!
	12:35pm David Dichelle: (I better stop giving out hints lest I spoil it)
	12:35pm spodiodi: Abkhazia? Artsakh?
	12:36pm spodiodi: sorry, i'm submitting too many guesses
	12:36pm coelacanth∅: neverneverland?
	12:36pm David Dichelle: I do love the guesses, though!
	🚂 12:36pm Brian in UK: Been fascinated by Svalbard the last few days; it look astounding, trouble is full darkness Nov-Feb & full daylight thereafter. Madness ensues.
	12:36pm spodiodi: Transnistria? (ignore me)
	12:37pm David Dichelle: Brian: A friend of mine did research there, it was quite an adventure.
	12:38pm Stanley: Mary Black has an amazing voice
	🚂 12:39pm Carmichael: Semi-independent, eh! Lesotho!
	🚂 12:41pm Handy Haversack: Transnistria?
	🚂 12:42pm Brian in UK: Coal was the main reason for people being there, Russia had a big interest. Now it is almost all research & tourism, oh and this... www.regjeringen.no...
	12:42pm Sem: Transnistria, Transdniestria, or Pridnestrovie, officially the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic
	12:42pm Stanley: Catalunya?
	12:42pm David Dichelle: Some of these guesses are great ideas for an expanded list someday. After we get through the first 230 or so of course.
	🚂 12:43pm Handy Haversack: I got no other plans the next four years of Thursdays.
	🚂 12:43pm Brian in UK: Stanley, is it a bit fresh up yonder?
	12:44pm spodiodi: three calls for Transnistria
	12:44pm Stanley: Fresh, Brian? Brass monkeys, mate.
	🚂 12:45pm Bas NL: Great song! And great renditions all around.
	12:45pm coelacanth∅: duh. i've read about the seed vault but forgot where it is.
	🚂 12:46pm Handy Haversack: Stanley, one of the Edinburgh lads cleared 45p in poker yesterday and was very excited for the two bags of Space Raiders in his future.
	12:46pm Really Lisa: Wishing everyone a better new year. Just going to listen for the remainder of the journey.
	🚂 12:46pm Handy Haversack: Happy wishes to you as well, Lisa!
	🚂 12:47pm Brian in UK: Really Lisa, hello. Been out running at all?
	12:48pm spodiodi: Space Raiders are new to me, but who can argue with flavors like "pickled onion"?
	12:49pm spodiodi: to you as well, Lisa ✌️
	12:49pm coelacanth∅: - and comic too,no?
	12:49pm coelacanth∅: (Juana)
	🚂 12:50pm Handy Haversack: Hard to leave during Juana Molina, but we need to grab a few things from the store. Hope to be back for Random Road. Final guess: Niue!
	🚂 12:51pm Brian in UK: So David, would the country selected already have had New Year? (whispers to listeners; do you think this subtle question will fool him?)
	12:51pm David Dichelle: Handy, that was another great guess. Happy shopping!
	12:51pm Really Lisa: Thank you Handy. Hi Brian, thanks for asking; been trying, struggling to be honest. But not here to dwell. Better if I step away and just soak up the music for the duration. Safe, healthy New Year, sincerely. Thank you, spodi. And favorite Juana Molina song for me. Perfect, ty for the show, David.
	12:52pm David Dichelle: Always my pleasure, Lisa!
	12:53pm still b/p: I sure like the idea of alien-shaped snacks, but all the flavors I just checked are beyond my universe of appeal. Won't boldly go to that bowl.
	🚂 12:53pm Michael 98145: Juana for the win
	12:54pm David Dichelle: Brian: No, actually they haven't, which narrows things down, I suppose.
	12:54pm David Dichelle: Hey there still b/p!
	🚂 12:54pm WR: Breakout drummer stream artist. Mary Wing played Un Dia, the last tracks on the album, yesterday. Not complaining, have the album in my wish list.
	🚂 12:54pm Bas NL: Nice this Juana Molina track!
	🚂 12:55pm WR: Oh. Pardon my rudeness. Hello David and Continental riders.
	12:56pm coelacanth∅: i remember the wikipedia page for Juana Molina 5-10 years ago called her a comic and an actress. it did have her discography, but the music aspect of her life was barely mentioned.
	12:56pm David Dichelle: Hey WR, it is a hot item on the Drummer Charts!
	12:56pm spodiodi: aloha, WR
	12:57pm coelacanth∅: hola WR
	🚂 1:05pm chresti: I heard it too, somewhere, maybe on Stork's show?
	1:07pm David Dichelle: I just checked and other versions have been played on a number of different shows, looks like a WFMU favorite!
	🚂 1:07pm chresti: \\//\\//R!
	1:10pm northguineahills: Been, here, Annachie Gordon is a new one for me!
	1:10pm David Dichelle: Hey, NGH, happy to have you here.
	🚂 1:11pm WR: The cover for Cheikh Sidi Bémol is charming. www.discogs.com...
	1:12pm spodiodi: very nice
	🚂 1:13pm WR: And it took 4 tries to stop autocorrect from overwriting Cheikh as Christmas.
	🚂 1:17pm WR: If I had all the time in the world I would look to see if there is any relation between Annachie and Annikin. For now just wash my lunch bowl and back to work, will be listening.
	1:17pm David Dichelle: Could be a subconscious influence, one never knows...
	1:27pm coelacanth∅: how do you get autoincorrect to stop making the same incorrection every time? in other words: "4 tries" - is that typing the same thing over and over, or doing something different each time?
	1:29pm coelacanth∅: never mind, i can kind of imagine what happens.
	1:30pm northguineahills: 4 tries, I've had more then five (when texting non-English phrases).
	1:30pm David Dichelle: Autocorrect can be a trying experience.
	1:31pm northguineahills: I got autocarrot once when texting, so, I use it from now on when referencing autocorrect.
	🚂 1:34pm chresti: I wish there was a way to disable autocorrect on my phone.
	1:35pm coelacanth∅: i feel certain that the amount of time people spend on follow-up messages to explain their previous posts, and the time spent trying to manually override the incorrection outweighs any time theoretically saved by having it engaged. ... and then there's the fact that it encourages ignorance in the spelling department.
	1:36pm coelacanth∅: chresti are you sure? ...is it an iphone? (in which case i wont be that surprised)
	1:37pm northguineahills: Many Malian bands went to Bamako during the Islamist insurrection (They frowned upon western-influenced music, if they actually approved of music at all)(the Islamic insurrection was in the Sahel/Sahara region of Mali, until the French put it down. There are still pockets of resistence.)
	1:37pm spodiodi: chresti, if it's an android, maybe trying this: Go to Settings > System > Languages & input > Virtual keyboard. Pick the keyboard. Tap Text correction, and toggle Auto-correction off.
	🚂 1:38pm chresti: The laptop just underlines things that it thinks is not correct, I'll look it up and prove it wrong.
	1:38pm spodiodi: iphone: Go to your iPhone’s home screen. Tap on the Settings icon. In the menu of options that pops up, tap on General. On the new screen that you are taken to, open Keyboard Settings. Find the All Keyboards section. In this section, find Auto-Correction and toggle the button next to it so that it goes from green to white.
	🚂 1:39pm chresti: Ah, thanks spodi.
	1:39pm northguineahills: @spodi: I thought about using espanol on my settings on my iPhone, but, I use other languages as well. (I use mostly Spanglish when texting my partner).
	1:39pm coelacanth∅: was Annachie in jail for being an anachist?
	1:40pm spodiodi: i've got an iphone and an android tablet (though i admit that i've never turned either auto-correct off -- as annoying as it is. anyway, just curious myself, so shared) yw, chresti \\//
	1:41pm coelacanth∅: my laptop does that (chresti @138) i'm fine with that, even though it's wrong not infrequently.
	1:41pm spodiodi: ah computer... i wont bother posting, but i think win10 and macos should both have the same disable-type capability/option
	1:42pm David Dichelle: NGH: Some keyboard apps allow for multiple languages, if that helps.
	🚂 1:42pm chresti: The iphone has the little bubble with the x, which works fine if I have my glasses on and am not in a hurry.
	1:43pm northguineahills: (and as everyone here knows, cthulhlu knows what language I use w/ my friends. I had a friend text me back, "use English!". I replied, "It's not my fault you're not multilingual". (most friends are cool, especially w/ espanol o aleman...)
	1:43pm coelacanth∅: the underline has helped me a few times... especially with the mental-block words. the ones that never seem to sink in. but mostly i ignore it.
	1:44pm spodiodi: ngh, that has to be frustrating
	🚂 1:44pm WR: twist is a tlest. clristmas! whhat yah klow. now it is just me and my horrid tapping skill. oh yeah, lunch over. laters.
	🚂 1:44pm Handy Haversack: Back! Random Road still unrevealed? This sounds great! ngh, you find your car?
	1:44pm spodiodi: i'm pretty much the same as you coelacanth... mostly i ignore it
	1:44pm Funky16Corners: Hi David!
	1:45pm David Dichelle: Thanks Handy, and welcome back. RR at the top of the hour.
	1:45pm northguineahills: @David, unfortunately, gringo Spanglish isn't an official language....
	1:45pm David Dichelle: Hey there, Larry, happy new year!
	🚂 1:45pm chresti: WR, that's entertainment!
	1:45pm David Dichelle: NGH: It should be!
	🚂 1:46pm chresti: I love docjazz's typos.
	1:46pm David Dichelle: Have a happy and healthy one, WR!
	1:47pm coelacanth∅: in the days of olde, a business executive had to have separate telephones on his desk to call and receive multiple calls and for conference calls. maybe that's what you need ngh. one phone for espanol and one for english
	1:47pm Funky16Corners: Happy New Year!
	1:48pm northguineahills: @Handy: It has all of my clothes (two suitcases), my toiletries, a $600 unemployment payment card (the one before direct deposit kicked in). It was repossessed. I need $3.5K to get it back. I should have used cash at this hotel.....
	1:49pm northguineahills: at least I have my laptop and phone....
	1:49pm northguineahills: It also had my medication, which is $150/a pop...(for my psyrosis).
	1:50pm David in London: Sorry, late arrival into the carriage. Hello David. Greetings New Year groovers: Handy, Spod, Coela, NGH!
	1:50pm spodiodi: damn, ngh
	1:50pm coelacanth∅: chresti yes dr.j does typos like nobody's business!
	1:50pm northguineahills: Happy words, David!!! 2020 hit me again!!!
	1:50pm spodiodi: howdy, David!
	1:51pm David Dichelle: Welcome aboard, David!
	1:51pm spodiodi: i laughed when you typed that you love doctorjazz typos too chresti (coel) :)
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: - there used to be someone else in the peanut gallery with entertaining typos but not lately. the one that persistently called you "chestry"?
	1:52pm coelacanth∅: 'evening David
	1:52pm spodiodi: i couldn't really think of one, but he's diligent about correcting them -- and they're have been some funny ones (just wish i had a better memory)
	1:53pm northguineahills: better then "crusty"!
	🚂 1:53pm Carmichael: That's Listener John, who I think uses a cell phone. little letters, big fingers. Like me ...
	1:53pm spodiodi: there* (good heavens)
	1:54pm spodiodi: i shouldn't have skipped second breakfast
	🚂 1:54pm Handy Haversack: Ugh, ngh, that's rough. This freaking year.
	🚂 1:55pm Handy Haversack: David! Was wondering what had kept you. Glad your year is even closer to over!
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: actually spodi i mentioned the entertainment value of dr.j's typos a year or 2 ago and they have become less crazy since then. maybe i shouldn't have said anything! they used to be hillarious!
	1:56pm coelacanth∅: that sounds right Carm
	1:56pm northguineahills: silver lining at least I don't have to call/interact w/ the cops.... (went to go get ice at 1am last night, and saw four in tactical gear). At least, the manager likes me. I speak to him en espanol, and he gave me 60% off (from the guy in front of me), I did so the people behind me in line wouldn't understand I was getting a deal.
	🚂 1:58pm chresti: I think it may be he's not out and about as much during the pandemic, coel?
	1:58pm David in London: Handy, I’m out at the ancestral village for NYE and so off the comments board so as not to overstrain the rather temperamental WiFi. How are you mate? Have we not done random road then? I’m in for Pakistan!
	2:00pm northguineahills: If I didn't know better, I would think this is Garbor Szabo!
	🚂 2:00pm Brian in UK: Hello David in London, nice try. It is Gibraltar! Don't you monkey with the monkey.
	🚂 2:02pm Handy Haversack: I had a feeling, David! Hope it's green and peaceful. All good here. We secured some dinner groceries, bubbly, the dog's ear medicine and all is well as it can be. Check out efd's year-end show in the archives if you get the chance. It was a scorcher!
	🚂 2:02pm Brian in UK: Do you think it is true that women generally have neater/legible handwriting than men?
	2:03pm Sylvia (France-NYC): Evening, David, listeners happy new beginnings
	2:03pm David in London: Hi Brian. And a HNY to you sir. Handy, ah, OK, ta muchly. Will give that an ear tomorrow I think.
	2:04pm spodiodi: evening, Sylvia
	🚂 2:04pm Bas NL: Drumroll...
	2:04pm northguineahills: @Brian: looks and my penmanship, and my partner's Most definitely! (I can't even read my own hinduesque chicken-scratch).
	2:04pm Sylvia (France-NYC): @Brian that's only because women are expected to have nice handwriting #patriarchy
	🚂 2:05pm Handy Haversack: I WON! This is the best thing that has happened in 2020! Things are already turning around! (K8: "Niue? That's a real place? And you guessed it?") Also: what Sylivia said.
	2:06pm spodiodi: nice one, Handy!
	🚂 2:07pm Bas NL: Tasty bag of Niue snacks to you Handy!
	🚂 2:07pm Handy Haversack: I am twelve days older than Niue's self-governance. It was fated to be.
	2:08pm northguineahills: When I was 14, I did a WC w/ every country and territory. I would throw a ball on the second story, and it would hit the first story and I would either volley, head, or bicycle kick the ball into the goal. Short story long, the final was Niue vs the USA. Niue won! (I had a notebook of the brackets I made).
	2:08pm David in London: Niue, Handy, man that’s a rare bullseye and no mistake! It wasn’t Gib then? Hey Sylvia.
	2:09pm David Dichelle: Congrats, Handy!
	2:09pm David Dichelle: And welcome, Sylvia!
	2:10pm David Dichelle: NGH: That is quite a matchup, although Niue might even have a chance in rugby.
	2:10pm northguineahills: (my Niue interest story)
	🚂 2:11pm Handy Haversack: Thank you all. I will ride this high all year! Wait, dang it.
	2:12pm David in London: Handy, you don’t have previously undisclosed links to the Niue industrial complex do you?
	2:13pm Stanley: Radom my arse. That Handy has powers.
	2:13pm Stanley: n
	2:14pm Ira: That last song reminded me of Easter Island music
	2:14pm northguineahills: Back in 1990, Niue might have had a chance, but USA rugby has gotten competitive recently....
	🚂 2:15pm Handy Haversack: Radon your arse, Stanley? That can be arranged. I'll use my powers!
	2:16pm Sylvia (France-NYC): I've been here since the beginning but busy cooking burgers for my children
	2:16pm northguineahills: (said WC took over a year) @Ira: I've been rooting for Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and Pitcairn Island to get their turn on Random Road.
	2:17pm northguineahills: Also, Niue, has probably the sweetest-ass Union Jack flag....
	2:17pm David Dichelle: Hello Ira, a lot of water between the two, but not much else.
	2:17pm Stanley: I am new to Niue and had to look it up. (My reputation is now in shreads)
	2:18pm spodiodi: 🇳🇺 not bad, ngh. i like all the stars
	2:18pm northguineahills: (flag w/ a union jack, it's in the corner w/ an orange field...)
	2:19pm David in London: Yo Stanloid. HNY to you!
	🚂 2:19pm Handy Haversack: Does Queen Elizabeth own all the swans of Niue then too?
	2:19pm Stanley: ngh - and they've added some stars to the Union Jack
	2:20pm Stanley: Hi David. Same to you, my friend.
	2:21pm Stanley: They citizens worship her as a god. no wait that's Prince Phillip
	2:21pm northguineahills: they've changed to a more yellowish hue. The stars are from the original premier's wife's design (no explanation).
	2:21pm spodiodi: my folks drove my first car up here from Niue
	2:22pm David in London: Don’t bring that up Handy, I once did a five year stretch in the Scrubs for unauthorised swan eating.
	2:22pm spodiodi: no that's not a dead pixel... www.the-games-blog.com... ha
	2:23pm spodiodi: nice sounds David. thanks for the random road
	2:24pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Spodiodi, it is my great pleasure!
	2:24pm Stanley: Haha David. You obviously didn't go to St John's College, Cambridge.
	2:24pm northguineahills: @spodi: invoking my Dead Milkmen "Isn't Nieu and island?" Was it a Bitchin' Camaro!???
	2:25pm spodiodi: gold star NGH 8^D indeed!
	2:26pm northguineahills: OK, Handy, I got to use that image on a certain subreddit....
	2:26pm spodiodi: i expected Handy to chime in (i forget how/when dead milkmen came up recently)
	🚂 2:27pm Bas NL: Good thing most Niueans seem to be musicians!
	2:27pm Stanley: Can't imagine the cost of living on Niue. The Isle of Arran is bad enough.
	2:28pm David Dichelle: Bas: Exactly!
	🚂 2:28pm Handy Haversack: Ha, sorry, spodi -- I was distracted picturing David and the rest of the Swan Gang getting hunted down by the bobbies.
	2:29pm David Dichelle: This one has the capital town Alofi in the title. Nui means "great", I believe.
	2:29pm northguineahills: Correct, David!
	2:30pm spodiodi: don't mind the donuts in your lawn, Handy
	2:30pm coelacanth∅: nice work,Handy!
	2:30pm northguineahills: @Bas: Just wait until we get to San Marino, Pitcairn, Tokelau....! (then there's St Helena)
	2:32pm David in London: You’ll never take me alive copper.
	2:32pm northguineahills: (curious if David actually hits the Vatican)....(probably a lot of material)
	🚂 2:32pm Handy Haversack: David, one of my friends in Edinburgh has a coffee mug with a picture of the queen on it and the legend "I EAT SWANS." Thanks, coela! It is precisely fitting and meet that I would find a community that values accomplishing something as tiny and nerdy as this achievement as much as I do! You all are the best!
	2:32pm Stanley: As usual, David, you have picked a sweet selection
	2:33pm David Dichelle: Thanks, Stanley!
	🚂 2:33pm Bas NL: @ngh ha, ha! Can't wait! (And i was just about to throw up Vatican City too..)
	2:33pm spodiodi: \m/ Black Fairies \m/
	2:34pm David Dichelle: Yeah, unfortunately not every place on the list works, but Niue was a very pleasant surprise.
	2:34pm David in London: Handy, I still have my Queen’s Silver Jubilee mug from 1977. I can feel a homemade adaptation coming on...
	🚂 2:35pm Handy Haversack: The dog got jealous of my success and just broke up a congratulatory couch cuddle with Kate! Faithless beast!
	2:36pm spodiodi: i can almost hear the surf and birds
	2:36pm northguineahills: I think Tokelau is the smallest fully autonomous territory (also administered by the Kiwis), albeit the Vatican is fully independent, and Pitcairn also has their own domain suffix...
	2:36pm spodiodi: man's best friend, indeed
	2:36pm coelacanth∅: Handy, we're all geeks on this bus
	2:36pm northguineahills: (smallest, pop-wise)
	2:36pm Stanley: David, that's funny. I came accross my Charles and Diana commemorative mug the other day.
	2:38pm David in London: Stanley, oh, good work there. I’m a sucker for those ludicrous commemorative mugs.
	🚂 2:40pm Handy Haversack: Jeffrey Jeffrey's cover of "New York, New York" would probably be excellent too!
	2:41pm Stanley: My Charles and Di mug is particularly naff. Plus if dropped (we had another) it explodes into a million pieces of some seriously dodgy glass like material.
	2:41pm David Dichelle: I don't know whether this was ever used for a commercial but it should be.
	2:43pm David Dichelle: Is there even an Air Nauru?
	2:44pm northguineahills: Stanley, are you crowning? sorry, couldn't help it
	2:44pm northguineahills: I believe they are severed by Air New Zealand
	2:45pm northguineahills: errr, served (still like my typo)
	2:45pm Funky16Corners: This sounds like an adaptation of something, but I can’t think of what...
	2:45pm David Dichelle: There is a Nauru Airlines, so I guess it wasn't for an ad after all.
	2:46pm Stanley: Sure ngh, it's my only claim to fame. Severed Hand Airlines?
	2:46pm David Dichelle: Larry, I often have that feeling about songs but often can't quite figure it out. The next (and last) song won't be hard to place, though.
	2:49pm spodiodi: nice
	2:50pm Funky16Corners: Cool!
	2:50pm northguineahills: @Stanley: That would be Brussels Airlines, w/ flights from Brussels to Kinshasa (nee, Leopoldville).
	🚂 2:50pm Bas NL: Love the island vibe!
	2:51pm David in London: This is lots of fun.
	🚂 2:52pm Brian in UK: David, thanks for all you have done this year.
	🚂 2:52pm Handy Haversack: This has been a great Random Road -- so fun! We just had a couple of friends come over for an outdoor NYE drink, so I'll be away from the keyboard. Thanks for all, David! I am so glad to have found your show this year. It's been a real bright spot every week, with great music and conversation. I'm deeply grateful. Merry Hogmanay all you Straphangers! See youse soon!
	2:53pm spodiodi: thanks, David! hangs Continental Subway 2021 schedule on fridge
	2:53pm David in London: Thanks David, great show. And a HNY to you.
	🚂 2:54pm Bas NL: Super job on Niue David! Thanks for a fantastic listening year! Happy New Year all!
	2:54pm spodiodi: and Happy Niue Year!
	2:55pm northguineahills: That was awesome, David, thanks! Never heard Niuean music before!
	🚂 2:55pm chresti: Thanks David! See you next year!
	2:55pm doctorjazz: Thanks, David, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
	2:56pm northguineahills: If I make it to the line tonight, I'll be fine.!
	2:56pm Stanley: David. I echo the above sentiments and thank you very much for the amazing music each week. Happy New Year to you and everyone. Got to go now, to look for those Lost Liku Lovers.
	🚂 2:56pm Yvang: Thanks David! See you on the random road next year!
	2:58pm Sem: Many thanks, David, for the roads you take us down, and the rails we never thought to ride. Be well, see you and all aboard next time.
	2:58pm Donovan∅: the Niue Airline - gets you there on time
	🚂 2:59pm WR: thank you David!
	2:59pm David Dichelle: Thanks, everyone! And a happy and healthy new year!
	3:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks David! Happy New Year to you as well!
	🚂 5:26pm Michael 98145: These shows are just brilliant. Happier New Year, all. 🔔🎇
