	3:10am Scott67: Comin in hot Alan!! Fucken love it mate!! 🍻😎🤙🌏
	⚡ 3:15am Don in Tampere: Good morning! Still trying to be human in the midst of all the inhumanity in the world today.
	3:18am Paulo AD: I looooovvvveee this song
	3:19am Paulo AD: Scotty, you're a day off hahah you are deffo drunk
	3:19am Scott67: Hahaha!! I must be drunk!! Been calling Brian, Alan! Sorry mate! 🍻😎🤙
	3:20am Brian D: Hello all! Glad to be back and feelin' okay. Clearly not as good as Scotty, though.
	⚡ 3:20am Don in Tampere: Dang Brian, hope you're feeling ok now. Sounds like you got a wallop from Covid if you were out for 2 weeks. I've avoided it so far but with everyone around me getting it, I suppose it's only a matter of time, since Finland seems to think one can declare a pandemic over when tired of it.
	3:23am Scott67: Actually drinking light beer, so just a day mix-up, assisted by mild euphoric enthusiasm. I can't be drunk cos I can still say that. 🍻😎🤙
	3:26am Scott67: Don, Finland isn't the only Country that seems tired with reality mate. 😎🤙🌏
	3:27am Brian D: Same attitude here, sadly, @Don. Not sure how I got it, but thankfully, vaccines work. I escaped with mild illness. Still tired, though.
	3:27am Brian D: Less filling, tastes great, @Scotty.
	3:31am Scott67: & the Vietnamese stuff I drink is only 90 cents a can too Brian. 🍻😎🤙
	3:35am listener: got a 2nd one! cheers!
	3:36am Scott67: Cheers! 🍻😎🤙
	3:36am Paulo AD: Brian, glad you are OK dude. Fox was a wonderful full in but you were missed by me, Scotty too
	3:37am Scott67: Too right Paulo! 🍻😎🤙
	3:40am Brian D: Fox is always great. Glad she was able to step in.
	3:45am Scott67: Rawww!!
	3:47am Paulo AD: How was that Adam ant???
	3:47am fred: Hello Brian and all
	3:48am Paulo AD: Fred :)
	3:48am Brian D: Hello Fred!
	3:49am fred: @Paulo: how was golf this week?
	3:49am Scott67: G'day Fred!🍻😎🤙
	3:51am Paulo AD: You know Fred, pretty average but I played with two of my close friends the past two days and it's been great for my mental health
	3:55am Paulo AD: This is the second chumbawumba song I've ever heard
	3:55am Ike: Hi all. I’m not a beer drinker but as inexpensive Asian beers go, I used to know a lot of people who would swear by Beer Lao. Dunno if that’s available in Aus though.
	3:56am Paulo AD: Where's it from Ike?
	3:56am Scott67: Me too Paulo, can't believe it's them.
	3:57am Ike: Laos! Many travelers in Thailand preferred it to the Thai beers.
	3:57am listener: no thank you
	3:58am Scott67: Guessing that's from Laos? Haven't seen it here, maybe in a capital city?
	4:02am fred: I have to go vote, back in a few
	4:02am Scott67: Paulo you will be able to get into Bia Hoi in Vietnam. Brewed daily, sold in street bars & food stalls. Dirt cheap too! 🍻😎🤙
	4:04am Paulo AD: I'm drinking some shitty German lager right now
	⚡ 4:05am Don in Tampere: I usually order my beer from Germany because I can get good beer (Paolo, your own fault if you're drinking shitty German lager, since there are so many good ones....) cheaper than Finnish raindeer piss. But interestingly, a small brewery in Finland called Kukko (fullly wind-powered too!) makes some of my favorit non-alcoholic beer for weekdays and Lent. At the moment i'm fasting so it's all water and herbal tea though.
	4:06am listener: cheers!
	4:06am Paulo AD: Love you Brian
	4:06am Brian D: Jordan obit, for those interested: www.vogue.com...
	4:09am listener: I lied i can't drink beer that fast.
	4:11am Paulo AD: Don, we had a crate free for spending so much on whiskey haha its bitburger so it's not that bad. Dubai has opened a brewery but..... Its 10 dollars a can!!
	4:13am Scott67: A friend of Warren & Nick's drinks at TRASH CULT. She reckons she'll bring em in for a look while they're on their Australian Tour. 🍻😎🤙
	4:13am Brian D: That should be some night, @Scott
	⚡ 4:15am Nikita: @Brian thanks for the link 💕 Cheers everyone 🍻 I’m drinking Coopers Pale ale. Pretty popular drop here in Aus. Not my favourite, but I live in a share house and I’ve drank all my beers already 😜
	4:16am Brian D: We're looking at the work of the recently deceased photojournalist Sumaya Sadurni, who worked for the Guardian, AP and others: www.theguardian.com...
	4:16am Scott67: Not holding my breath Brian. But she's legit about being mates. showed us some drunken house party pics of her with em. & she is Partner with Warren in a Captive Wild Animal Rescue Sanctuary in Indonesia.
	⚡ 4:18am Don in Tampere: Paolo, Bitburger is reasonably good, but there are definitely better ones. For pils, my current favorite is Störtebeker Übersee Pils. For dark, one of the faves is Schlappeseppel Dunkel, first brewed for the Swedish king in the 1600s. Probably hard to get either one in Dubai though.
	4:24am Scott67: www.ellispark.org
	4:29am fred: And I'm back. Weird, I can't remember such a long line at a polling station
	4:31am Destroit: Hi everyone. Joined 4 songs ago…Nick Cave at 4am always welcome
	4:33am Destroit: And apparently i missed chumbawumba, which i’m actually fine with. Really.
	4:34am Brian D: Welcome Destroit.
	4:35am Brian D: @Fred, I hope they all weren't waiting to vote for Le Pen.
	⚡ 4:36am Don in Tampere: I don't get the hate for Chumbawamba. So they wrote a hit song, so what? It was almost a prank, as I understand it, and they didn't use it to get rich. I heard that the bought a van that didn't break down every other day and most of the rest went to political causes. And somehow the idea of anarchist pop instead of anarchist crust punk is appealing.
	4:36am Scott67: Hope not Brian!
	⚡ 4:37am Don in Tampere: My first exposure to them was around the time of "Slap!", when they played Cafe Exzess in Frankfurt together with the Dog-Faced Hermans for a total admission of 3 Marks. Was a great show!
	4:37am Brian D: And the song was catchy too, Don. How dare they? ;-)
	⚡ 4:38am Don in Tampere: I used to do an acoustic guitar-mando-bass version of that song with my buddies in the Handlebars back in the day when I still lived in Germany.
	4:39am Paulo AD: Don, 100% haha ill keep my eye out though
	4:40am Paulo AD: Fred, you clearly voted for le pen haha
	4:40am Paulo AD: Brian, jinx you owe me a coke
	4:40am fred: @Brian: I'm afraid many were. It's a weird one, so who knows what will happen. I usually decide at the last minute based on the mailer we get before the election, but I got nothing this time (and only got my registration card two days ago)
	4:41am Paulo AD: I miss voting :(
	⚡ 4:42am Brian in UK: Hello Brian & listeners. Just bought a second hand copy of PJ O'Rourke's Age & Guile. Given his demise how was he viewed in the US with his transition from left to right?
	4:45am fred: @Paulo: I usually start at the far left and eliminate any candidate with anti-Europe or xenophobic messages. Sadly, 5 years ago I ended up with the Socialist candidate (basically a milquetoast centrist moderate). So this time I went with Poutou, mainly because of loose ties to my favorite venue
	⚡ 4:47am Brian in UK: Nick Cave does remind me vaguely of one of my favourites, David Ackles.
	4:48am Scott67: G'day Brian. 🍻😎🤙
	4:50am Paulo AD: More power to you Fred :) you're a good guy
	4:50am Brian D: Hello @Brian. I think O'Rourke remained "above the fray" here, which takes skill. A lot of people loved his writing, even if they didn't agree with his politics.
	4:50am Paulo AD: Hiya Brian
	4:50am Scott67: Zippo Raids.
	4:50am Paulo AD: Oh Scotty, I found a black roles and the face says fuck you. As soon as it come to me it's on the way
	4:51am Brian D: @Fred, France has a tough one this time. Three far right candidates, a centrist incumbent with a poor track record and...
	4:52am Scott67: Hahaha! I love ya Paulo!!🍻😎🤙
	4:53am Paulo AD: Rolex that is
	4:54am Scott67: I got that mate. A long wet drive for a Rolla!
	4:55am Brian D: We're seeing the work of former NYT/AP photojournalist Dirck Halstead, by the way: www.nytimes.com...
	⚡ 4:55am Brian in UK: Out in the garden now the sun is out. Happy days. Wish I could say the same for the Yemen & Ukraine.
	⚡ 4:57am Brian in UK: Brian, yes that is the impression I get. Hope you are fully recovered. Must be to get up at this mad time!!!
	4:59am fred: @Brian: And the usual 3 far-left candidates (I'm not counting Mélenchon there) who could amount to a force if they could unite, but it's the usual story...
	⚡ 4:59am Brian in UK: Was this song about his son?
	⚡ 5:01am Brian in UK: Fred over here Labour is pathetic with in-fighting when they should show a united front to be challenging Johnson & co.
	⚡ 5:02am Brian in UK: Always kind of liked the line nothing really matters on Bohemian Rhapsody.
	5:07am fred: @Brian: Speaking of in-fighting champions, a friend of mine used to sit on the board of the official radio of the French anarchist federation. Cognitive dissonance anyone? I do know people in various anarchist "groups", the idea seems to be that if more than 3 people agree on anything, it's time for a split
	5:09am Brian D: @Brian, from way back, still tired and coughing but able to make it in. And @Fred, in-fighting on the left? How strange! ;-)
	5:11am listener: je sais, je sais, je sais. je sais. je sais. je sais.
	5:13am Paulo AD: Brian I hope you know all our thoughts are with you buddie. If you need anything please let me know
	5:15am Brian D: @Paulo, thank you, man. I'm good. I don't mean to keep harping on it. Feeling very lucky.
	5:16am fred: One endearing tradition is the splintering of marches for May Day. Some even march the day before or after. I once saw a parade of four guys with the red/black flag, followed by 2 police patrol cars and 3 riot police vans. The police/demonstrator ratio makes it intriguing as a tactic (not that it's one)
	5:22am Brian D: Most people in the US don't even know what May Day is or means...
	5:23am kevlicki: Morning all, thanks for that news clip Brian, I saw mention of an arson at an LGBTQ space, pretty intense.
	5:26am Brian D: You're welcome and good morning, @Kev. Intense indeed. And scary.
	5:28am kevlicki: I’ll be celebrating International Workers Day by…working! This year May Day falls on a Sunday-market day for me! I’ll be sure to hang all the black and red,purple, green, pink flags up at my stand for the comrades, and Fred 😉
	5:28am -жеи: Morning all! Brian, please check your email
	5:29am fred: @Brian: Which is weird yet makes sense given its American history
	5:30am Eric the Hat: Brian. fred hello.
	5:30am Gnomon: I look forward to hearing how Deleuze is connected to current events, other than, well, everything.
	5:33am Paulo AD: Did you guys hear about the bears dying the river orange for St paddy's day hahha talk about tone deaf
	5:34am Brian D: I did not hear that @Paulo. We beat their team last time out and will hopefully do so again next week.
	5:35am Paulo AD: Brian, I only watch the hoops these days because of you :) plus, United are shite currently so I don't even watch football anymore :p
	5:36am Scott67: Hey Paulo, is that watch the Submariner Fuck em edition mate?
	5:37am Brian D: Plenty of room for you on our bandwagon, Paulo. Plenty of great Welsh players have worn the Hoops as well: Bellamy, Hartson, Ledley...
	5:38am fred: @Brian: Almost nobody in Europe knows about the Haymarket though, so ignorance is shared widely
	5:41am kevlicki: Speaking of holidays, if all goes well, I’ll be spending Passover with Efrim, Aidan, Sophie and the rest of Godspeed at Levon Helm In Woodstock this week!
	5:42am alanSixº: mornin brian hello all
	5:45am Brian D: Hello Alan! And, jealous @Kev.
	5:49am fred: @kevlivki: Do you happen to know Philémon too? Though he moved to France many years ago
	5:50am Paulo AD: That's and incredible lineup Bri, all Cardiff boys too
	5:51am Paulo AD: Alan BOOIIII
	5:52am Paulo AD: BTW, Ramadan Kareem all :)
	5:54am LiXiviated Life: the end is neigh
	5:55am fred: Thanks Brian, stay safe
	5:56am Scott67: thanks Brian, keep on the mend mate! ✌️😎🤙🌏🌻
	6:00am Paulo AD: Cheers as always Bri, good to have you back
	⚡ 6:07am Brian in UK: Get well soon.
	6:36am kevlicki: fred, I’m not familiar with Philemon?

	4:51am Brian D: @Fred, France has a tough one this time. Three far right candidates, a centrist incumbent with a poor track record and...
	4:52am Scott67: Hahaha! I love ya Paulo!!🍻😎🤙
	4:53am Paulo AD: Rolex that is
	4:54am Scott67: I got that mate. A long wet drive for a Rolla!

	⚡ 4:55am Brian in UK: Out in the garden now the sun is out. Happy days. Wish I could say the same for the Yemen & Ukraine.
	⚡ 4:57am Brian in UK: Brian, yes that is the impression I get. Hope you are fully recovered. Must be to get up at this mad time!!!
	4:59am fred: @Brian: And the usual 3 far-left candidates (I'm not counting Mélenchon there) who could amount to a force if they could unite, but it's the usual story...
	⚡ 4:59am Brian in UK: Was this song about his son?
	⚡ 5:01am Brian in UK: Fred over here Labour is pathetic with in-fighting when they should show a united front to be challenging Johnson & co.
	⚡ 5:02am Brian in UK: Always kind of liked the line nothing really matters on Bohemian Rhapsody.
	5:07am fred: @Brian: Speaking of in-fighting champions, a friend of mine used to sit on the board of the official radio of the French anarchist federation. Cognitive dissonance anyone? I do know people in various anarchist "groups", the idea seems to be that if more than 3 people agree on anything, it's time for a split
	5:09am Brian D: @Brian, from way back, still tired and coughing but able to make it in. And @Fred, in-fighting on the left? How strange! ;-)
	5:11am listener: je sais, je sais, je sais. je sais. je sais. je sais.
	5:13am Paulo AD: Brian I hope you know all our thoughts are with you buddie. If you need anything please let me know
	5:15am Brian D: @Paulo, thank you, man. I'm good. I don't mean to keep harping on it. Feeling very lucky.
	5:16am fred: One endearing tradition is the splintering of marches for May Day. Some even march the day before or after. I once saw a parade of four guys with the red/black flag, followed by 2 police patrol cars and 3 riot police vans. The police/demonstrator ratio makes it intriguing as a tactic (not that it's one)
	5:22am Brian D: Most people in the US don't even know what May Day is or means...
	5:23am kevlicki: Morning all, thanks for that news clip Brian, I saw mention of an arson at an LGBTQ space, pretty intense.
	5:26am Brian D: You're welcome and good morning, @Kev. Intense indeed. And scary.
	5:28am kevlicki: I’ll be celebrating International Workers Day by…working! This year May Day falls on a Sunday-market day for me! I’ll be sure to hang all the black and red,purple, green, pink flags up at my stand for the comrades, and Fred 😉

	5:30am Eric the Hat: Brian. fred hello.
	5:30am Gnomon: I look forward to hearing how Deleuze is connected to current events, other than, well, everything.
	5:33am Paulo AD: Did you guys hear about the bears dying the river orange for St paddy's day hahha talk about tone deaf
	5:34am Brian D: I did not hear that @Paulo. We beat their team last time out and will hopefully do so again next week.
	5:35am Paulo AD: Brian, I only watch the hoops these days because of you :) plus, United are shite currently so I don't even watch football anymore :p
	5:36am Scott67: Hey Paulo, is that watch the Submariner Fuck em edition mate?
	5:37am Brian D: Plenty of room for you on our bandwagon, Paulo. Plenty of great Welsh players have worn the Hoops as well: Bellamy, Hartson, Ledley...
	5:38am fred: @Brian: Almost nobody in Europe knows about the Haymarket though, so ignorance is shared widely
