	⚡ ♥ 6:05am tom tom the pipers son: tbh now it's brother/sister can you spare two bucks
	⚡ ♥ 6:07am tom tom the pipers son: i guess that doesn't even cover inflation
	⚡ ♥ 6:10am tom tom the pipers son: "We could buy a loaf of Bond Bread or a snack-size Frisbie pie, or ride the trolley car. And for a dime, people could walk into a tavern and get a cold glass of draft beer."
	♥ 6:11am Brian D: Good morning all. Thrilled to be back. I trust Darren treated you well?
	♥ 6:14am Hoboken Jack: Good morning, Brian!!

	⚡ ♥ 6:18am tom tom the pipers son: hi michael...
	6:19am Fredericks: ↳ Hoboken Jack @6:14 Hiya, Hobo J and my fellow Currenters.
	⚡ ♥ 6:19am tom tom the pipers son: missed that linda sharrock article first time around, thx brian
	⚡ ♥ 6:23am pgalub: Hey there Brian, JAAAAACK and everyone.
	♥ 6:24am Beast of Boonton: 🙉
	♥ 6:26am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:19 Hey Tom Tom, yeah it's a good one. Very inspiring.
	♥ 6:26am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @6:23 Mr. Galub, happy belated.
	♥ 6:31am TDK60: Of course, the slaughter in Gaza remains the top world story. Destruction and death continue, thanks in large part to the arms of the USA, sent by the Democrat regime in DC. The US Weimar liberal class in media and academics spread lies, obfuscation, a new McCarthyism. Mendacity and complicity--these are theme words of the USA for year 2024. Yet, hats off to South Africa for standing up for the right thing by taking Israel to the International Court of Justice on genocide charges. Shout-out too, to the Service Employees International Union and United Auto Workers for calling for a ceasefire.
	⚡ ♥ 6:38am tom tom the pipers son: it was unclear to me why the court in the hague didn't call for a ceasefire, but called for everything but, giving a green light and leaving it up to international "community" fmr plo rep on democracy now seemed satisfied with the ruling
	6:40am Toothgrinder Tom: Love the jazz announcer voice!
	⚡ ♥ 6:42am tom tom the pipers son: i didn't "love" poor things, thought it over designed and tied up too neatly at the end...
	6:43am Juli: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @6:42 Too critical imo
	⚡ ♥ 6:43am fred: Good morning Brian and listeners
	6:43am Cooh John: Yabba dabba do, Brian and current eventers!
	♥ 6:43am TDK60: Glasgow, eh? Never been. Some Gentle Giant? Mogwai?
	6:47am Toothgrinder Tom: Is that ‘Golden Years’ playing in the background?
	⚡ ♥ 6:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Juli @6:43 no my honest take, didn't didn't like it during, sort of got that it was a fairytale afterwards and liked it more
	6:47am rich in angleton: good morning Brian and everyone in radioland!
	⚡ ♥ 6:48am fred: If I had to be trapped in some country due to flight delays, Scotland might be at the top of my list (I like whisky)
	♥ 6:49am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @6:47 Si senor.
	♥ 6:49am Brian D: ↳ rich in angleton @6:47 Rich!
	⚡ ♥ 6:49am tom tom the pipers son: best to ms currents, seriously...
	♥ 6:50am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:48 With you there, Fred. Though I like whiskey too much. Good morning.
	♥ 6:50am TDK60: Sorry to hear about the injury of Ms. Currents. Scotland next time. Did she fall outside a store or in un-commercial territory? Aren't stores required to de-ice their walkways?
	⚡ ♥ 6:55am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:50 It's a rhetorical scenario for me anyway, as flying is a serious health hazard for me (inner ear fistula)
	6:55am Toothgrinder Tom: Hope she is on the mend very soon.
	♥ 6:56am Brian D: ↳ fred @6:55 Ouch.
	♥ 6:57am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @6:50 Thanks TDK and all. A community garden, actually.
	6:58am Fredericks: Actuels.
	⚡ ♥ 7:03am fred: ↳ Brian D @6:56 That's why I will never visit the magic factory. It could go right or very wrong, and the US is not where I want to have a medical emergency (if I had a few millions to spare, the station would be a better way to do so)
	♥ 7:06am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:03 After the past 10 days, I get that.
	⚡ ♥ 7:08am fred: Glasgow got another place in history as the site of the first Jandek concert. Not sure the plaque has been ordered yet
	♥ 7:09am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:08 I didn't know that! Another reason to like the place.
	⚡ ♥ 7:11am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:09 There's a DVD of it (haven't seen or heard the performance) en.wikipedia.org...
	⚡ ♥ 7:12am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Morning Dew" by "Lulu" was that a grateful dead cover?
	⚡ ♥ 7:13am fred: ↳ Song: "Dirty Old Town" by "Frank Black" Speaking of streams of whiskey... (RIP Shane)
	♥ 7:13am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:12 Different song.
	⚡ ♥ 7:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @7:13 thought so. it was the only song that came up in search, sounded like a country song
	7:16am Fredericks: ↳ Brian D @7:13 Discogs credits the same authors. But I don't think that's correct.
	♥ 7:16am TDK60: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:12 tomtom: "Dew" is by Bonnie Dobson. '60s Folkies Fred Neil and Tim Rose had versions before the Gratefuls, I think.
	♥ 7:17am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:16 Also on the "To Sir With Love" soundtrack, no? Lulu's version, that is.
	⚡ ♥ 7:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TDK60 @7:16 thanks...
	♥ 7:17am JohnEBGood: Rock on DJ Brian. Happy New Year 🎉🥂
	7:19am Toothgrinder Tom: Liverpool supporters know this melody as the ‘Virgil Van Dyke’ song. (Re Dirty Old Town)
	⚡ ♥ 7:19am fred: ↳ Song: "Fiesta" by "The Pogues" For some reason I had this song stuck in my ear all week
	⚡ ♥ 7:19am Strandlund: Good Morning and welcome back, Brian D!! Good morning Currents Listeners!!
	♥ 7:21am TDK60: ↳ Brian D @7:17 Brian, not sure about the Lulu version. Jeff Beck did it on his first solo outing, "Truth"--with young Rod Stewart on vocals. 1968.
	7:21am S_Rah: Hey. Good show. Thought my Alexa played the wrong station for a minute - but the news clip is part of your show. I’m in
	7:22am S_Rah: Sometimes fmu is just noise and sometimes it’s the peak of creativity
	♥ 7:23am Brian D: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @7:19 Both Celtic and Liverpool consider "You'll Never Walk Alone" an anthem. Van Dijk played for Celtic, too.
	♥ 7:24am Brian D: ↳ S_Rah @7:22 We try.
	⚡ ♥ 7:28am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:24 I like the ambiguity about which one you are trying for
	7:29am Ryan in St Paul: Man, that Mogwai was perfect
	♥ 7:29am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:28 I thought I was being subtle.
	7:29am S_Rah: @fred 🩵
	⚡ ♥ 7:33am Strandlund: ↳ S_Rah @7:22 That should be on a bumper sticker!
	⚡ ♥ 7:33am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:29 My bad phrasing it as if these were separate paths
	⚡ ♥ 7:36am tom tom the pipers son: re: celtic sentimentality, i'm half irish and recognize this trait and somehow feel compelled to share this, maybe more a case of stupidity than culture.... was in a essay writing class at the new school a long time ago and there was an irish guy in his twenties, probably, in the class, he wrote an essay about him being in nato forces during the serbian conflict and witnessed a man being taken hostage, he said witnessed the hostage's throat being slit, then the bard said "and it was my birthday" the class was speechless.
	♥ 7:38am Brian D: ↳ fred @7:33 Very true.
	♥ 7:39am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:36 Christ, that's some story.
	⚡ ♥ 7:41am NotARealDoctor: Good morning Brian, good morning everyone! Greetings from Virginia. We're at the park and Cooper the dog is letting me throw the ball for him
	♥ 7:41am TDK60: Donovan's fine debut song. I read his bio. Upon an early visit to the US, Donovan met Stevie Wonder at a club; Stevie proceeded to sing "Wind" to the shocked Scot.
	⚡ ♥ 7:42am NotARealDoctor: Thanks especially for that Donovan, a personal favorite artist of mine
	7:44am Fredericks: Ewan MacColl wrote Dirty Old Town.
	♥ 7:45am Brian D: ↳ Fredericks @7:44 Ah, you're right. My bad.
	⚡ ♥ 7:46am fred: ↳ Fredericks @7:44 Right, whose daughter Kirsty sang with Shane on Fairytale of New York
	⚡ ♥ 7:54am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Boy With The Arab Strap" by "Belle and Sebast... belle and sebastian's phrasing is so identifiable
	♥ 7:55am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:54 Seeing them in May. Fingers crossed.
	7:57am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Capital City" by "Simple Minds" Never heard this side of Simple Minds.
	⚡ ♥ 7:57am tom tom the pipers son: oh that's thinking ahead,.... never heard this simple minds, not what i expected
	⚡ ♥ 7:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Fredericks @7:57 ha...
	7:58am Fredericks: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:58 Ha!
	7:59am Ryan in St Paul: The bands Yummy Fur and Lung Leg from Glasgow were 2 of my favorites back in the 90s.
	7:59am Cosmic: Hola Brian and all
	8:00am Robm: good morning fellow current listeners
	♥ 8:00am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @7:57 Empires and Dance is an AMAZING record.
	⚡ ♥ 8:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Capital City" by "Simple Minds" slightly reminiscent of tubeway army
	⚡ ♥ 8:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:00 i see...
	⚡ ♥ 8:02am fred: Gotta leave soonish: concert of Mongolian music, supposedly focused on urtyn duu, which is my favorite style, so I'm pretty excited about it (though my fave singer, Byambajargal Gombodorj, won't be there)
	⚡ ♥ 8:04am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:02 throat singing?
	8:05am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Area 51" by "Fat Black Cats" This reminds a bit of The Birthday Party.
	⚡ ♥ 8:06am dale: had my ears on, great show.
	⚡ ♥ 8:06am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:04 Probably, hopefully not much. Urtyn duu is totally different, more melisma
	♥ 8:08am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:06 Enjoy Fred.
	⚡ ♥ 8:08am tom tom the pipers son: oh looked it up. very interesting, 20th c invention, correct?
	⚡ ♥ 8:09am tom tom the pipers son: long syllabic singing. maybe ten words to a song
	♥ 8:10am William Hellfire: Wild Saturday morning punk rock breakfast. Hell-o
	8:12am Robm: @brian ouch that stinks with your wife breaking her arm
	⚡ ♥ 8:13am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:09 Here's a sample: www.youtube.com... I don't think the style is that recent
	♥ 8:14am Brian D: ↳ Robm @8:12 Yeah, she's been in a lot of pain, poor thing.
	⚡ ♥ 8:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @8:13 thx fred
	8:16am Robm: ↳ Brian D @8:14 does she have a cast on yet?
	♥ 8:17am Brian D: ↳ Robm @8:16 She had surgery Thursday. Cast and splint. Broken in six places and structural damage. 12-week rehab.
	⚡ ♥ 8:17am fred: ↳ Brian D @8:14 She put up with you, so we know she can handle a lot
	♥ 8:18am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:17 Very true.
	⚡ ♥ 8:20am fred: @Brian: Just be careful on canine walks. You don't want to hire a cat to walk the dog
	♥ 8:23am Brian D: ↳ fred @8:20 I can't afford to get hurt at this point.
	8:24am Robm: ↳ Brian D @8:17 hope the rehab goes smoothly
	♥ 8:24am Brian D: ↳ Robm @8:24 Thank you, Robm.

	8:32am Cosmic: Speedy recovery wishes
	⚡ ♥ 8:32am tom tom the pipers son: @fred: urtyn duu..."considered by Mongolians to be rooted in their nomadic life before the socialist revolution of 1921" ... with a quick scan got it confused
	♥ 8:32am Brian D: ↳ Cosmic @8:31 Edinburgh, actually. Not to correct you. Thanks for the well wishes.
	⚡ ♥ 8:35am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @8:32 been to edinburgh, did a set during fringe, someone once told me edinburgh is boston to glasgow's new york
	⚡ ♥ 8:37am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Been lurking for a while. Good morning Brian and everyone.
	♥ 8:37am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @8:35 That works for me. Glasgow is like the Village in the 70s and 80s. Mrs. Currents says I always seem very at home there.

	♥ 7:17am Brian D: ↳ TDK60 @7:16 Also on the "To Sir With Love" soundtrack, no? Lulu's version, that is.

	⚡ ♥ 7:33am fred: ↳ Brian D @7:29 My bad phrasing it as if these were separate paths
	⚡ ♥ 7:36am tom tom the pipers son: re: celtic sentimentality, i'm half irish and recognize this trait and somehow feel compelled to share this, maybe more a case of stupidity than culture.... was in a essay writing class at the new school a long time ago and there was an irish guy in his twenties, probably, in the class, he wrote an essay about him being in nato forces during the serbian conflict and witnessed a man being taken hostage, he said witnessed the hostage's throat being slit, then the bard said "and it was my birthday" the class was speechless.
