	3:21am Aurwood: ↳ Philipp @3:20 Hi Philipp
	3:22am Philipp: punk — Siouxsie and the Banshees and portex, mmmmmmm, brilliant! skinhead team '00)) thnx)

	♥ 3:22am Paulo AD: ↳ fred @3:21 Well yes, my shirt game is also strong haha
	♥ 3:25am tom tom the pipers son: a shooting pretty close to me in queens today, someone on a scooter shooting randomly here and there , in brklyn too.
	♥ 3:26am tom tom the pipers son: 1 killed
	3:27am Aurwood: You guys have so much shootings in the US, some peeps have lived through multiple mass shootings Oo
	3:32am Brian D: ↳ Aurwood @3:27 It would be a "phenomenon" -- except it's easily explained.
	♥ 3:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Gangland Warfare" by "The Outcasts" the outcasts, never heard them, kinda had their own sound
	3:35am cbunny: ♦️♦️X2
	3:35am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:33 They were the band in the Belfast scene that everyone "joked" that they sucked.
	♥ 3:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:35 i guess you had to be there...
	3:38am cbunny: ♦️♦️ X2
	3:39am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:37 Yeah, I only learned that from seeing the Terri Hooley thing. I've always liked The Outcasts and the less well-known bands in that scene have experienced a bit of appreciation in recent years.
	3:41am Erik-0-Vert (VT): ↳ Song: "It's Going to Happen!" by "Undertones" "Positive Touch": this entire Undertones album absolutely floored me back in the day! - i had the first 2Lps, but this one really was a distinct transitional beauty! Try the track "sigh & explode"! - so freakin great. Plus the embossed cover and inner sleeve album Art was aesthetically to die fer!!! Still have it and treasure it. Unfortunately the next album Sin Parade was way too soul-horny for my taste... yet Holds-up better now, than then.
	♥ 3:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:39 oh, just looked up terri hooley... inter-generational influencer... yeah, i know very little about irish punk
	3:44am cbunny: never heard oh oh oh’s so good, man
	3:45am Aurwood: ↳ Brian D @3:32 At this point its just another day in the US
	3:45am cbunny: i like
	3:46am Brian D: ↳ Erik-0-Vert (VT) @3:41 It is a terrific record. The Undertones' early output was so great. Always puts me in a good mood.
	3:47am Aurwood: Never heard the Undertones btw thanks for that band
	♥ 3:47am Paulo AD: ↳ Aurwood @3:47 Wow. You've got so much to look forward too :)
	♥ 3:48am fred: ↳ Brian D @3:46 You probably need this given the time you spend checking on the news
	3:49am Aurwood: ↳ Paulo AD @3:47 Hehehe I think so ;)
	3:49am cbunny: i’m wearing my mary wing ‘listen’ as bracelet rite now
	♥ 3:50am tom tom the pipers son: @brian: so bad a "joke" it made me laugh
	3:51am cbunny: yes as a bracelet but, it is a stainless steel bracelet that is etched with the word, listen
	3:52am Aurwood: Whats the name of the movie???
	3:56am cbunny: stainless steel? ⚡️💜
	♥ 3:58am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & early morning groovers.
	♥ 3:58am pgalub: In 1999, I was living in Ireland, and visited Belfast with a friend. We randomly wandered into Good Vibrations record shop, and ended up hanging out with Terri Hooley for a few hours. He even gave me a signed copy of his own single- a cover of Sonny Bono's "Laugh At Me." It was a great, serendipitous experience.
	3:59am Brian D: Info on "Good Vibrations:" irishartscenter.org...
	3:59am Brian D: That's the play, and here's the film: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:02am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @3:58 Hello Brian!
	4:03am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @3:58 Wow, PG. What a great thing!
	4:03am Aurwood: Thank you for the links
	♥ 4:03am fred: One of my biggest regrets: Joe Strummer played in Paris but I had a ticket for a dance show that day. I thought I'd catch him next time, but he died a month later
	4:04am Heidee: Love me a bit of Strummer in the morning. Hi Brian and all!
	♥ 4:04am Brian in UK: ↳ Erik-0-Vert (VT) @3:41 Totally agree about Positive Touch. It stands the test of time. Also bought the first album by That Petrol Emotion. Think that was John O'Neill.
	4:04am Aurwood: ↳ pgalub @3:58 Amazing..
	4:05am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:03 Even worse for me, Fred. I have a friend who kept bugging me to check out the Mescaleros. I only finally listened to him after Joe's death.
	♥ 4:05am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @3:59 Seem to remember that there was a John Peel character in the film appeared briefly.
	4:05am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:04 Yes indeed. TPE appeared on Evan Funk Davies' show not too long ago.
	4:06am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:05 In the play as well.
	4:07am Erik-0-Vert (VT): ↳ Brian D @3:46 So wanna see that 2013 Film! would love to get to the play-but its unlikely. I was surprised how much i enjoyed a musical play version of the beautiful film "ONCE". re Undertones: i never continued past the 1st 4 albums (correction: Sin of Pride)...anyone enjoy the 2003/2007 reboot albums?-(without Feargal Sharkey)? & what abt those 3 F.Sharkey solo albums ?
	♥ 4:07am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:05 didn't joe strummer visit fmu studio in j.c.?
	♥ 4:07am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @4:05 Did they have an American singer? Evan played selections from his buying trip to England recently. Must have weighed a ton.
	4:09am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:07 Yes, Steve Mack.
	♥ 4:10am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:07 He did
	4:10am Heidee: Oh!
	4:10am Heidee: Heard that.
	4:10am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:07 Yes, his photo of him making tea in the kitchen hangs on the wall -- in the kitchen where I make my tea before going on-air.
	♥ 4:11am fred: ↳ Heidee @4:10 Hi Heidee! Are you done with school now?
	4:13am Heidee: ↳ fred @4:11 Hi fred! Two and a half weeks to go, nice summer vibes. How are you doing?
	♥ 4:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:10 sounds like a ritual.
	4:14am Erik-0-Vert (VT): ↳ Song: "Tender Years" by "Robert Forster" imo,This man...called Robert Forster is a freakin poetic magician! - I Love his output. I gotta get/listen to his more current releases. They are even lovelier than his earlier solo albums. I was in love with ALL-Things "Go-Betweens"! = a magnificent band.
	♥ 4:14am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @4:13 Oooh not long now :)
	4:14am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @4:14 Hi Paul, yay
	4:14am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:13 It is. Also a bit of a "pinch me" moment, I have to admit.
	♥ 4:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Clip: WGN-cocaine found in White House" left over from tr*mp jr.
	♥ 4:15am Brian in UK: Feargal Sharkey is a strong advocate of clean water, challenging the big water companies over here who put profit above polluting the rivers & sea. Brian think you might have played a clip some time back.
	♥ 4:15am fred: ↳ Heidee @4:13 Last dance show for a while on Tuesday, dreading the dead summer. But I got 60 dance show tickets for next year, so I'm looking forward to that. Then, hell breaks loose (aka Summer Olympics)
	4:16am Heidee: ↳ fred @4:15 wow, 60!
	♥ 4:17am Paulo AD: We're stuck here all summer after blasting through our leave. Well, uk for a weekend in August and then a week in September. Weddings are killing us haha
	♥ 4:18am Brian in UK: ↳ fred @4:15 fred. Get your tickets for the synchronised diving before they all go. It's like dancing in the air!
	♥ 4:18am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:14 You should get a pic of you making tea with the pic of Joe Strummer making tea. The closest you'll come to playing in The Clash, take what life gives you
	♥ 4:20am fred: ↳ Paulo AD @4:17 I see you have your record breaking hangover schedule all lined up
	4:20am Heidee: Really enjoying today's playlist, DJ Brian.
	4:21am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:15 Yes, I did: www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk...
	4:22am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:18 Not a bad idea, Fred. Might be the closest I get to real talent, too.
	4:22am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @4:20 Trying Heidee, thank you.
	♥ 4:24am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:22 Abbie has a strong case against that
	4:25am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:24 Good point. Yes, our weekly transitions might be the closest I get.
	♥ 4:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:15 last dance performance i saw a verry long time ago was john jasperse, who i think danced with anna teresa von keersmaker, if i'm getting her name right, ever hear of jasperse?
	4:28am cbunny: drop what you’re doing
	♥ 4:30am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:25 The name isn't familiar, upsetting because I'm such a Rosas fan. I might have seen him if he danced there (I've seen Rosas at least 70 times). Internet to the rescue!
	♥ 4:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:30 saw this in the 90's
	4:31am Cosmo in Seattle: The Birthday Party was a good band.
	♥ 4:35am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:31 Looks like he was in Rosas in the late '80s, before my time. Not sure what his role was back then though, could be anything from minor to formative as it was around the time when Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker integrated men in her choreography
	4:36am Cosmo in Seattle: whew
	4:39am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Kakijyu" by "Teke::teke" I've seen this sign in chats before :: Anyone know what it means?
	♥ 4:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:35 he was/is a friend of a friend that i haven't seen in many years, see he is director of dance dept. at sarah lawrence
	♥ 4:42am fred: Contemporary dance has a puzzlingly difficult hard time crossing the pond, both ways. From what I heard, it's due to costs and the difficulty of getting work visas (a few days or many years are treated the same, on both side). There will be some EU based dance at BAM this fall though
	4:46am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @4:39 Alas, no. I only just learned what ;-) means, though. (I'm kidding, but I'm pretty clueless on that stuff.)
	4:47am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @4:46 no problem 😉
	♥ 4:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:42 piece that i saw had dancers, male and female standing in line, nude and frontal to audience, moving their genitals with their hands, similar to a scene in flaming creatures by jack smith which i don't know if it was refering to.
	♥ 4:49am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:46 I guess nobody can know everything, you just chose to focus on less important stuff like human rights and international affairs. Man, you'll never be an influencer
	4:50am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Zweites Kapitel [ruckartig]" by "Kammerflimmer Ko... translates as ventricular fibrillation - collective (pun on tief meaning deep) - second chapter - jerky maybe the music will make more sense for you then ha ha
	4:50am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:49 Good thing, too. I look awful in a swimsuit.
	♥ 4:51am Brian in UK: Brian, here is another example of our caring government. www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 4:52am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:49 That's so '90s! I hope he moved from that, it was 30 years ago
	♥ 4:53am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:50 Pics or it didn't happen! On second thought, scratch that
	4:56am Aurwood: ↳ Brian in UK @4:51 Everyone cared about the stupid submarine for billionaires and painting murals are too welcoming..
	4:56am cbunny: it’s been great sets, thanks !🖤🖤📐🤠
	♥ 4:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:52 yes, was in the 90's. i would think he's moved on, i'm not a good judge of dance, i've hardly seen any
	4:59am Erik-0-Vert (VT): ↳ fred @4:42 re artists performing Visas / touring perfs / etc: i spoke to Drummer Han Bennink at Dartmouth (circa 2012+?), said the cost and spread-outness of touring in USA was relatively financially impossible since the latter 1990s. Began making no sense anymore. If anybody can make no-sense outta nonsense, its Han B.! John Jasperse was a significant contributor to the multi media NYC dance scene back in the 80's-90's. Wouldn't know abt the current vibe.
	5:00am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:51 Jaysus. From the ridiculous to the absurd.
	5:01am Michael of Cologne: Good Sunday morning Brian, Fred, Tom Tom, Heidee et al. Too hot here today. Cologne is celebrating CSD this weekend with well over a million visitors.
	5:01am Aurwood: What was the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds red thing?
	♥ 5:01am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:56 It started as a punk provocation move, but how provocative is it when everyone is doing it? It gets lame quick Marina Otero uses nudity in a fresh/brutal way these days
	♥ 5:02am Brian in UK: ↳ Aurwood @4:56 Aurwood, are you in the South Pacific?
	♥ 5:03am fred: ↳ Erik-0-Vert (VT) @4:59 If Han can't, it's game over
	5:05am Aurwood: ↳ Brian in UK @5:02 Yes sir
	5:06am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:01 Good morning, Michael!
	5:06am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:01 The Red Hand Files: www.theredhandfiles.com
	♥ 5:07am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:00 Cruelty is the point
	5:07am Aurwood: ↳ fred @5:01 Marina Otero is fascinating
	5:08am Aurwood: ↳ Brian D @5:06 Thank you for the link Brian!!
	♥ 5:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @5:01 yes, i can see that... the most memorable use of nudity i've seen, was by lee nagrin a ny theater artist, a large woman in her seventies with pale skin and white hair transverse the stage from down left to up stage right, it was like watching a witches' ritual, that was a long time ago too
	♥ 5:15am tom tom the pipers son: yes, marna otero looks interesting
	♥ 5:15am fred: ↳ Aurwood @5:07 I already have a ticket for "Love Me". I might go see "Fuck Me" again, but I hope it will be sold out and I want new people to see it, so I'll only go if there's place left
	5:19am Erik-0-Vert (VT): what abt dancer (choreo?) = Elena Antoniou ? (Greek? to me).
	5:21am Aurwood: ↳ fred @5:15 Elle est à Paris :) A friend of mine is going to see Fuck me.
	♥ 5:25am tom tom the pipers son: was reading a bit, is marina otero in some way still disabled from her injury?
	5:26am morphe': The horror of it all !!! The suffering .... It boggles the mind that these war crimes are lost on the world in general and so many of the Jewish Peoples themselves ... "Israel to buy new fleet of F-35 fighter jets financed by US aid.." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/7/2/israel-to-buy-new-fleet-of-f-35-fighter-jets-financed-by-us-aid
	5:29am yippie: how many Jews are still able to live in Yemen?
	5:31am morphe': ↳ fred @5:15 Who is the director(s)? I already have a ticket for "Love Me". I might go see "Fuck Me"
	5:32am Robm: yippie not many
	5:33am morphe': ↳ yippie @5:29 That is exactly my point = racism and intolerance can not be defended = anywhere
	♥ 5:34am fred: ↳ morphe' @5:31 Marina Otero is the choreographer. She performs as well
	5:34am Brian D: ↳ Robm @5:32 And not many Yemenis are able to either, at this point in time, it has to be said.
	5:36am morphe': Thanks Fred ...
	♥ 5:36am fred: ↳ Aurwood @5:21 It's a great show, but I need to make room for others
	5:36am Robm: ↳ Brian D @5:34 very true brian
	5:37am Heidee: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:01 Hi Michael, bet it is going to be a mega party 🏳️‍🌈
	♥ 5:40am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:25 I think her injury informs a lot of what she does now, but reducing her to that would be not just insulting but plain wrong
	5:40am Robm: hey heidee
	♥ 5:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:01 belated hello michael
	5:40am Heidee: ↳ Robm @5:40 hiya robm!
	♥ 5:41am fred: ↳ Aurwood @5:21 Did I weasel out of that right?
	♥ 5:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @5:40 right, just skimming internet, wasn't sure
	5:42am LiXiviated Life: Waking up not in my own bed
	5:44am Heidee: ↳ LiXiviated Life @5:42 mind is boggling
	5:52am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Newly Awakened" by "Theon Cross" Nice groove to go out on. Thanks Brian, as always.
	♥ 5:53am fred: ↳ Heidee @5:44 At my age, it's what mind does
	♥ 5:55am Brian in UK: Nice work, Brian. Have a peaceful week everyone.
	5:55am Heidee: Thanks Brian!
	5:56am Brian D: My pleasure, all. Thank you all for joining me. Have a great week and stay safe.
	♥ 5:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @5:34 young man working in local deli is yemeni, and just got back fro yemen and said it was beautiful, don't know if he's delusional or some areas aren't affected
	5:57am Annette: Thank you Brian
	5:57am Aurwood: Thank you Brian that was à wonderful show and set

	5:57am morphe': Thanks BD .... nice ending !!!! Beginning !!!

	♥ 3:19am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:12 Speaking of John Peel, he supported Laura Cantrell. And a couple of weeks ago I was stopped in the street by a guy who noticed my LC T-shirt. Someone from Boston. Doesn't happen everyday here, or ever
	♥ 3:20am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ @3:18 yes, an extensive archive of peel sessions
	3:20am Philipp: salut,Brian, and all citizens wfmu land,from Saint-Petersburg(Russia) Brian D, thnx for punkmusic! yeaaah
	♥ 3:20am Paulo AD: ↳ Paulo AD @3:15 *short
	♥ 3:21am fred: ↳ Paulo AD @3:20 Your shirt game is nothing to be ashamed of, judging by the meat of the tomato pic
	3:21am Aurwood: ↳ Philipp @3:20 Hi Philipp
	3:22am Philipp: punk — Siouxsie and the Banshees and portex, mmmmmmm, brilliant! skinhead team '00)) thnx)
	♥ 3:22am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @3:19 ah worlds colliding, wfmu t-shirts pop up here in queens ny every now and then and i'm sorta surprised
	♥ 3:22am Paulo AD: ↳ fred @3:21 Well yes, my shirt game is also strong haha
	♥ 3:25am tom tom the pipers son: a shooting pretty close to me in queens today, someone on a scooter shooting randomly here and there , in brklyn too.
	♥ 3:26am tom tom the pipers son: 1 killed
	3:27am Aurwood: You guys have so much shootings in the US, some peeps have lived through multiple mass shootings Oo
	3:32am Brian D: ↳ Aurwood @3:27 It would be a "phenomenon" -- except it's easily explained.
	♥ 3:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Gangland Warfare" by "The Outcasts" the outcasts, never heard them, kinda had their own sound
	3:35am cbunny: ♦️♦️X2
	3:35am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:33 They were the band in the Belfast scene that everyone "joked" that they sucked.
	♥ 3:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:35 i guess you had to be there...
	3:38am cbunny: ♦️♦️ X2
	3:39am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @3:37 Yeah, I only learned that from seeing the Terri Hooley thing. I've always liked The Outcasts and the less well-known bands in that scene have experienced a bit of appreciation in recent years.
	3:41am Erik-0-Vert (VT): ↳ Song: "It's Going to Happen!" by "Undertones" "Positive Touch": this entire Undertones album absolutely floored me back in the day! - i had the first 2Lps, but this one really was a distinct transitional beauty! Try the track "sigh & explode"! - so freakin great. Plus the embossed cover and inner sleeve album Art was aesthetically to die fer!!! Still have it and treasure it. Unfortunately the next album Sin Parade was way too soul-horny for my taste... yet Holds-up better now, than then.
	♥ 3:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @3:39 oh, just looked up terri hooley... inter-generational influencer... yeah, i know very little about irish punk
	3:44am cbunny: never heard oh oh oh’s so good, man
	3:45am Aurwood: ↳ Brian D @3:32 At this point its just another day in the US
	3:45am cbunny: i like
	3:46am Brian D: ↳ Erik-0-Vert (VT) @3:41 It is a terrific record. The Undertones' early output was so great. Always puts me in a good mood.
	3:47am Aurwood: Never heard the Undertones btw thanks for that band
	♥ 3:47am Paulo AD: ↳ Aurwood @3:47 Wow. You've got so much to look forward too :)
	♥ 3:48am fred: ↳ Brian D @3:46 You probably need this given the time you spend checking on the news
	3:49am Aurwood: ↳ Paulo AD @3:47 Hehehe I think so ;)
	3:49am cbunny: i’m wearing my mary wing ‘listen’ as bracelet rite now
	♥ 3:50am tom tom the pipers son: @brian: so bad a "joke" it made me laugh
	3:51am cbunny: yes as a bracelet but, it is a stainless steel bracelet that is etched with the word, listen
	3:52am Aurwood: Whats the name of the movie???
	3:56am cbunny: stainless steel? ⚡️💜
	♥ 3:58am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & early morning groovers.
	♥ 3:58am pgalub: In 1999, I was living in Ireland, and visited Belfast with a friend. We randomly wandered into Good Vibrations record shop, and ended up hanging out with Terri Hooley for a few hours. He even gave me a signed copy of his own single- a cover of Sonny Bono's "Laugh At Me." It was a great, serendipitous experience.
	3:59am Brian D: Info on "Good Vibrations:" irishartscenter.org...
	3:59am Brian D: That's the play, and here's the film: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:02am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @3:58 Hello Brian!
	4:03am Brian D: ↳ pgalub @3:58 Wow, PG. What a great thing!
	4:03am Aurwood: Thank you for the links
	♥ 4:03am fred: One of my biggest regrets: Joe Strummer played in Paris but I had a ticket for a dance show that day. I thought I'd catch him next time, but he died a month later
	4:04am Heidee: Love me a bit of Strummer in the morning. Hi Brian and all!
	♥ 4:04am Brian in UK: ↳ Erik-0-Vert (VT) @3:41 Totally agree about Positive Touch. It stands the test of time. Also bought the first album by That Petrol Emotion. Think that was John O'Neill.
	4:04am Aurwood: ↳ pgalub @3:58 Amazing..
	4:05am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:03 Even worse for me, Fred. I have a friend who kept bugging me to check out the Mescaleros. I only finally listened to him after Joe's death.
	♥ 4:05am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @3:59 Seem to remember that there was a John Peel character in the film appeared briefly.
	4:05am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:04 Yes indeed. TPE appeared on Evan Funk Davies' show not too long ago.
	4:06am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:05 In the play as well.
	4:07am Erik-0-Vert (VT): ↳ Brian D @3:46 So wanna see that 2013 Film! would love to get to the play-but its unlikely. I was surprised how much i enjoyed a musical play version of the beautiful film "ONCE". re Undertones: i never continued past the 1st 4 albums (correction: Sin of Pride)...anyone enjoy the 2003/2007 reboot albums?-(without Feargal Sharkey)? & what abt those 3 F.Sharkey solo albums ?
	♥ 4:07am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:05 didn't joe strummer visit fmu studio in j.c.?
	♥ 4:07am Brian in UK: ↳ Brian D @4:05 Did they have an American singer? Evan played selections from his buying trip to England recently. Must have weighed a ton.
	4:09am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:07 Yes, Steve Mack.
	♥ 4:10am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:07 He did
	4:10am Heidee: Oh!
	4:10am Heidee: Heard that.
	4:10am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:07 Yes, his photo of him making tea in the kitchen hangs on the wall -- in the kitchen where I make my tea before going on-air.
	♥ 4:11am fred: ↳ Heidee @4:10 Hi Heidee! Are you done with school now?
	4:13am Heidee: ↳ fred @4:11 Hi fred! Two and a half weeks to go, nice summer vibes. How are you doing?
	♥ 4:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Brian D @4:10 sounds like a ritual.
	4:14am Erik-0-Vert (VT): ↳ Song: "Tender Years" by "Robert Forster" imo,This man...called Robert Forster is a freakin poetic magician! - I Love his output. I gotta get/listen to his more current releases. They are even lovelier than his earlier solo albums. I was in love with ALL-Things "Go-Betweens"! = a magnificent band.
	♥ 4:14am Paulo AD: ↳ Heidee @4:13 Oooh not long now :)
	4:14am Heidee: ↳ Paulo AD @4:14 Hi Paul, yay
	4:14am Brian D: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:13 It is. Also a bit of a "pinch me" moment, I have to admit.
	♥ 4:15am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Clip: WGN-cocaine found in White House" left over from tr*mp jr.
	♥ 4:15am Brian in UK: Feargal Sharkey is a strong advocate of clean water, challenging the big water companies over here who put profit above polluting the rivers & sea. Brian think you might have played a clip some time back.
	♥ 4:15am fred: ↳ Heidee @4:13 Last dance show for a while on Tuesday, dreading the dead summer. But I got 60 dance show tickets for next year, so I'm looking forward to that. Then, hell breaks loose (aka Summer Olympics)
	4:16am Heidee: ↳ fred @4:15 wow, 60!
	♥ 4:17am Paulo AD: We're stuck here all summer after blasting through our leave. Well, uk for a weekend in August and then a week in September. Weddings are killing us haha
	♥ 4:18am Brian in UK: ↳ fred @4:15 fred. Get your tickets for the synchronised diving before they all go. It's like dancing in the air!
	♥ 4:18am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:14 You should get a pic of you making tea with the pic of Joe Strummer making tea. The closest you'll come to playing in The Clash, take what life gives you
	♥ 4:20am fred: ↳ Paulo AD @4:17 I see you have your record breaking hangover schedule all lined up
	4:20am Heidee: Really enjoying today's playlist, DJ Brian.
	4:21am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:15 Yes, I did: www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk...
	4:22am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:18 Not a bad idea, Fred. Might be the closest I get to real talent, too.
	4:22am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @4:20 Trying Heidee, thank you.
	♥ 4:24am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:22 Abbie has a strong case against that
	4:25am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:24 Good point. Yes, our weekly transitions might be the closest I get.
	♥ 4:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:15 last dance performance i saw a verry long time ago was john jasperse, who i think danced with anna teresa von keersmaker, if i'm getting her name right, ever hear of jasperse?
	4:28am cbunny: drop what you’re doing
	♥ 4:30am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:25 The name isn't familiar, upsetting because I'm such a Rosas fan. I might have seen him if he danced there (I've seen Rosas at least 70 times). Internet to the rescue!
	♥ 4:31am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:30 saw this in the 90's
	4:31am Cosmo in Seattle: The Birthday Party was a good band.
	♥ 4:35am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:31 Looks like he was in Rosas in the late '80s, before my time. Not sure what his role was back then though, could be anything from minor to formative as it was around the time when Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker integrated men in her choreography
	4:36am Cosmo in Seattle: whew
	4:39am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Kakijyu" by "Teke::teke" I've seen this sign in chats before :: Anyone know what it means?
	♥ 4:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:35 he was/is a friend of a friend that i haven't seen in many years, see he is director of dance dept. at sarah lawrence
	♥ 4:42am fred: Contemporary dance has a puzzlingly difficult hard time crossing the pond, both ways. From what I heard, it's due to costs and the difficulty of getting work visas (a few days or many years are treated the same, on both side). There will be some EU based dance at BAM this fall though
	4:46am Brian D: ↳ Heidee @4:39 Alas, no. I only just learned what ;-) means, though. (I'm kidding, but I'm pretty clueless on that stuff.)
	4:47am Heidee: ↳ Brian D @4:46 no problem 😉
	♥ 4:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:42 piece that i saw had dancers, male and female standing in line, nude and frontal to audience, moving their genitals with their hands, similar to a scene in flaming creatures by jack smith which i don't know if it was refering to.
	♥ 4:49am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:46 I guess nobody can know everything, you just chose to focus on less important stuff like human rights and international affairs. Man, you'll never be an influencer
	4:50am Heidee: ↳ Song: "Zweites Kapitel [ruckartig]" by "Kammerflimmer Ko... translates as ventricular fibrillation - collective (pun on tief meaning deep) - second chapter - jerky maybe the music will make more sense for you then ha ha
	4:50am Brian D: ↳ fred @4:49 Good thing, too. I look awful in a swimsuit.
	♥ 4:51am Brian in UK: Brian, here is another example of our caring government. www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 4:52am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:49 That's so '90s! I hope he moved from that, it was 30 years ago
	♥ 4:53am fred: ↳ Brian D @4:50 Pics or it didn't happen! On second thought, scratch that
	4:56am Aurwood: ↳ Brian in UK @4:51 Everyone cared about the stupid submarine for billionaires and painting murals are too welcoming..
	4:56am cbunny: it’s been great sets, thanks !🖤🖤📐🤠
	♥ 4:56am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @4:52 yes, was in the 90's. i would think he's moved on, i'm not a good judge of dance, i've hardly seen any
	4:59am Erik-0-Vert (VT): ↳ fred @4:42 re artists performing Visas / touring perfs / etc: i spoke to Drummer Han Bennink at Dartmouth (circa 2012+?), said the cost and spread-outness of touring in USA was relatively financially impossible since the latter 1990s. Began making no sense anymore. If anybody can make no-sense outta nonsense, its Han B.! John Jasperse was a significant contributor to the multi media NYC dance scene back in the 80's-90's. Wouldn't know abt the current vibe.
	5:00am Brian D: ↳ Brian in UK @4:51 Jaysus. From the ridiculous to the absurd.
	5:01am Michael of Cologne: Good Sunday morning Brian, Fred, Tom Tom, Heidee et al. Too hot here today. Cologne is celebrating CSD this weekend with well over a million visitors.
	5:01am Aurwood: What was the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds red thing?
	♥ 5:01am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @4:56 It started as a punk provocation move, but how provocative is it when everyone is doing it? It gets lame quick Marina Otero uses nudity in a fresh/brutal way these days
	♥ 5:02am Brian in UK: ↳ Aurwood @4:56 Aurwood, are you in the South Pacific?
	♥ 5:03am fred: ↳ Erik-0-Vert (VT) @4:59 If Han can't, it's game over
	5:05am Aurwood: ↳ Brian in UK @5:02 Yes sir
	5:06am Brian D: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:01 Good morning, Michael!
	5:06am Brian D: ↳ fred @5:01 The Red Hand Files: www.theredhandfiles.com
	♥ 5:07am fred: ↳ Brian D @5:00 Cruelty is the point
	5:07am Aurwood: ↳ fred @5:01 Marina Otero is fascinating
	5:08am Aurwood: ↳ Brian D @5:06 Thank you for the link Brian!!
	♥ 5:10am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @5:01 yes, i can see that... the most memorable use of nudity i've seen, was by lee nagrin a ny theater artist, a large woman in her seventies with pale skin and white hair transverse the stage from down left to up stage right, it was like watching a witches' ritual, that was a long time ago too
	♥ 5:15am tom tom the pipers son: yes, marna otero looks interesting
	♥ 5:15am fred: ↳ Aurwood @5:07 I already have a ticket for "Love Me". I might go see "Fuck Me" again, but I hope it will be sold out and I want new people to see it, so I'll only go if there's place left
	5:19am Erik-0-Vert (VT): what abt dancer (choreo?) = Elena Antoniou ? (Greek? to me).
	5:21am Aurwood: ↳ fred @5:15 Elle est à Paris :) A friend of mine is going to see Fuck me.
	♥ 5:25am tom tom the pipers son: was reading a bit, is marina otero in some way still disabled from her injury?
	5:26am morphe': The horror of it all !!! The suffering .... It boggles the mind that these war crimes are lost on the world in general and so many of the Jewish Peoples themselves ... "Israel to buy new fleet of F-35 fighter jets financed by US aid.." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/7/2/israel-to-buy-new-fleet-of-f-35-fighter-jets-financed-by-us-aid
	5:29am yippie: how many Jews are still able to live in Yemen?
	5:31am morphe': ↳ fred @5:15 Who is the director(s)? I already have a ticket for "Love Me". I might go see "Fuck Me"
	5:32am Robm: yippie not many
	5:33am morphe': ↳ yippie @5:29 That is exactly my point = racism and intolerance can not be defended = anywhere
	♥ 5:34am fred: ↳ morphe' @5:31 Marina Otero is the choreographer. She performs as well
	5:34am Brian D: ↳ Robm @5:32 And not many Yemenis are able to either, at this point in time, it has to be said.
	5:36am morphe': Thanks Fred ...
	♥ 5:36am fred: ↳ Aurwood @5:21 It's a great show, but I need to make room for others
	5:36am Robm: ↳ Brian D @5:34 very true brian
	5:37am Heidee: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:01 Hi Michael, bet it is going to be a mega party 🏳️‍🌈
	♥ 5:40am fred: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @5:25 I think her injury informs a lot of what she does now, but reducing her to that would be not just insulting but plain wrong
	5:40am Robm: hey heidee
	♥ 5:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Michael of Cologne @5:01 belated hello michael
	5:40am Heidee: ↳ Robm @5:40 hiya robm!
	♥ 5:41am fred: ↳ Aurwood @5:21 Did I weasel out of that right?
	♥ 5:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ fred @5:40 right, just skimming internet, wasn't sure
	5:42am LiXiviated Life: Waking up not in my own bed
	5:44am Heidee: ↳ LiXiviated Life @5:42 mind is boggling
	5:52am Michael of Cologne: ↳ Song: "Newly Awakened" by "Theon Cross" Nice groove to go out on. Thanks Brian, as always.
	♥ 5:53am fred: ↳ Heidee @5:44 At my age, it's what mind does
	♥ 5:55am Brian in UK: Nice work, Brian. Have a peaceful week everyone.
	5:55am Heidee: Thanks Brian!
