	⚡ 4:39am Heidee: Shame Nulsh isn't here :-)
	⚡ 4:41am Brian in UK: Willy Vlautin's novels cover the down side of peoples lives. Not crime more grime.
	4:42am Cosmic: Would Alan consider writing books set in today’s Glasgow?
	⚡ 4:43am Heidee: I think I have just found the perfect Christmas present for ma Scottish hubby.
	4:43am Brian D: Cosmic, I didn't ask! But the books follow the characters over the years so it's possible he'll get more contemporary.
	4:44am Brian D: Heidee, I can't recommend Alan's books highly enough: www.alanparks.co.uk
	⚡ 4:45am Michael of Cologne: Good morning Brian & everyone.
	4:45am morphe': Heard him tell a true story (BBC) about a family road trip in Australia which influenced his last/latest novel. Name? Perhaps not yet published???
	4:46am Brian D: Yes, June -- the 6th in the series -- is in the works and as yet untitled.
	⚡ 4:47am Brian in UK: Brian, read Jim Thompson's The Getaway recently, the final quarter is amazing. It is not covered in either films versions. I was taken aback.
	4:47am Brian D: Love that book, Brian The movies don't do Thompson justice, in my opinion.
	⚡ 4:51am Brian in UK: Brian, would recommend Jeff Torrington's Swing hammer swing! Set in Glasgow.
	4:52am morphe': UK Brian - Hollywood does horrible things .. did ya ever see the remake of the "The Wickerman."
	4:53am morphe': ALAN PARKS (BORN JOHNSTONE, 1963) Does he write non-fiction under Johnstone?
	⚡ 4:53am Brian in UK: Morphe' No. did not appeal much.
	4:54am Cosmic: Ah I see, never read his stuff. I now have a reading list. Really enjoyed that, thanks Brian
	4:54am Brian D: Thanks for the rec Brian! And, no, Morphe. No non-fiction. Not yet, anyway.
	4:56am morphe': Spoiler alert - pure crap ... I did not go to the cinema/pay ...the cop is rescued by the Royal Navy !!!! Or cops in boats ...
	⚡ 4:56am Brian in UK: Great interview. Part of the fun when you are young is 'discovering' music. Bit different when you get older. Thanks to this radio station you can keep up to date.
	⚡ 4:57am Heidee: @Brian, just bought the first three Harry McCoy novels! Thank you for your tip!! - Amazing that your "current vibes" go half around the globe and make it here :-) I fully trust and appreciate your recommendations from the taste of your show, my friend. What a guy, Alan Parks, eh? Typically Scottish, not blowing his own trumpet, lovely humour etc. Loving the way he is putting real social criticism into his "fiction".
	4:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if born after Chinese New Year - another 1963 Water 🐇Hare like me :) ...

	5:03am Brian D: Heidee you and your husband will love the books, I promise. Great stories and characters.
	⚡ 5:03am Heidee: 😘
	5:09am morphe': I was confusing Parks with this author from Belfast: THE ISLAND BY ADRIAN MCKINTY Similar in that he wrote a novel and could not get published and was about to give up and was driving a taxi and doing odd jobs and then .. a friend of a friend and Voila..
	⚡ 5:12am Brian in UK: Diamond geezer as they might say in the south.
	5:13am fred: I may have told that before, but I once used readings of Howl to fix bugs in software that was used to disguise the voices of witnesses in the Rwanda genocide trials (both victims and perps)
	5:16am Brian D: Love Adrian McKinty too Morphe!
	5:16am Brian D: That's some story, Fred. I still remember when I first read "Howl."
	5:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: fred - yer one of the greatest minds of my generation.
	5:21am morphe': Errata Redux .. Wrong Again ... ADRIAN MCKINTY wrote a number books which got good reviews and he won some awards, but had to popular success = no cash and was driving for Uber... He got an agent who got a book published that was successful... and ...
	⚡ 5:22am Brian in UK: Guessing that it might be the PPK responsible for the bomb.
	5:23am morphe': HOWL [for another time] - the animation section of the film done by Eric Drooker is worth seeing. I never saw the complete film.
	⚡ 5:24am Brian in UK: I believe that there are around twenty million Kurds surviving in 5/6 countries in the area. A fractured people.
	5:25am Brian D: Kurdish groups have so far denied responsibility.
	5:27am fred: I so want to see Oneida again, they're so great live
	⚡ 5:35am Brian in UK: How much are we paying Rwanda for doing nothing. Shocking.
	5:35am diskoozgun: PJ Harvey 👑👑👑
	⚡ 5:37am Heidee: Your deejaying is spot on, Brian. Gaun oot the noo, toodle-oo!
	5:37am Brian D: Cheers, Heidee.
	5:38am Brian D: Apparently, we're going to hear a little extra PJ.
	5:38am fred: @Brian: Nothing wrong with that
	5:41am morphe': Possible that the bombing was not Kurds? ps: Speaking of Rwanda and border countries and colonialism .. No Friends but the Mountains’: The Toxic Legacy of British Officialdom for the Kurds after the First World War (article 2019) https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/mec/2019/10/15/no-friends-but-the-mountains-the-toxic-legacy-of-british-officialdom-for-the-kurds-after-the-first-world-war/
	⚡ 5:44am Brian in UK: morphe' thanks for the link will read it later.
	5:44am fred: N+1 announced a series of articles about Mike Davis, the first one is here: www.nplusonemag.com...
	5:45am Brian D: Thanks Fred!
