	3:08am Guy in Solihull UK: ↳ T GRavel @3:03 Good morning T GRavel
	3:09am Paulo AD: DAN -hitting me in all the feels this morning. My fuzzy logic vinyl turned up this week
	3:09am Paulo AD: We covered this in my first band, Indigo Bubble...what a name haha
	3:09am Colin and Eddie in Durham, England: What a start! So… Kenickie?
	3:15am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): I had a lousy sleep last night too. It was because I had really low blood glucose levels but didn't realize it until I did the blood test.
	3:16am Sheffield Chris: Listening live for the first time in aaaaages. Morning Dan!!!
	3:18am Brian in UK: Hello Dan, how is the suntan coming on?
	3:19am Paulo AD: You have to sing this in the accent
	3:20am Brian in UK: ↳ Colin and Eddie in Durham, England @3:09 Colin we were up your way last month. Took Callie the dog onto Bamburgh beach. Non-stop action.
	3:21am Brian in UK: ↳ Paulo AD @3:00 Paulo, did you find your car keys?
	3:24am Paulo AD: I did thanks, it was under my car seat rest on a thing that looked exactly like the key. I had to get a torch on it. I knew it was in the car because the car was starting, but for the life of me.....
	3:26am Colin in Durham England: That was the best thing that ever happened, I was in the back kitchen putting the washing in and heard Kenickie in the front room, I ran through and pressed the speaker against my ear as I danced through the house and mate, I could cry
	3:28am Colin in Durham England: I know she’s like live on air on a certain British station like right now but they play such awful tunes sometimes. I’m garuanteed to like this show even when it’s… y’know
	3:32am Paulo AD: This is a shocker haha
	3:34am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Colin in Durham England @3:28 Even when it's..? Glenn & Chris? I was rejected by 6Music a long time ago but their studio at Wogan House was a bit nasty! Onwards and sidewards...
	3:35am Colin in Durham England: ↳ Song: "The Worm" by "HMLTD" A what?
	3:35am Brian in UK: The joy of this station is that you never know what is coming. What time is Ken Bruce on? 6Music never lived up to what I was expecting. I was spoiled by John Peel when I was an impressionable youth!
	3:38am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian in UK @3:35 Not sure you can phrase it like that these days hah
	3:38am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: ↳ Dan Morfitt @3:34 When Phill Jupitus left it was ruined, the daytime playlist came in and all freeform was lost. I worked with him on a tv pilot years later and he put me on to WFMU, I love him so much more now
	3:41am Paulo AD: ↳ Song: "Top Gun Anthem" by "Faltermeyer" TUNE
	3:41am Guy in Solihull UK: ↳ Colin and Eddie in Durham England @3:38 Shame they messing with 7pm -12am slot. That's usually when I try to listen in. Otherwise it's WFMU all the way for me now, certainly during the day
	3:41am Paulo AD: ↳ Colin and Eddie in Durham England @3:38 Met him in a Beta Band gig in Cardiff once, well say met him..stood next to him
	3:43am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): ↳ Paulo AD @3:41 I shamelessly unironically love the Top Gun CD. This is the Top Gun anthem, not Larry Greene, which is also a kickin' track.
	3:44am Paulo AD: Everyweek I say this...I haven't heard this for time. Can still weirdly sing along
	3:45am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: ↳ Dan Morfitt @3:34 When I asked for a gig at wogan house, filming the sessions, they said no, I moved to Manchester and Michelle, Marc’s producer was like “yea! Howay in!” I got to film Jesca Hoop and Erland & The Carnival (and got smashed in their caravan with bassist Simon Tong, who I later found out is now in the fucking Gorillaz! And sessioned on some mad classic albums.
	3:45am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): ↳ Song: "She's So High" by "Tal Bachman" Now this is one I haven't heard in awhile even though I own the CD single.
	3:49am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: ↳ Guy in Solihull UK @3:41 Fuming. Luckily he mentioned meeting someone from radio 2 about the future of Parallel Universe so he’s got his fingers in some pies at least
	3:49am Guy in Solihull UK: Ooof tune
	3:51am Guy in Solihull UK: ↳ Colin and Eddie in Durham England @3:49 Fingers crossed for that.
	3:53am Guy in Solihull UK: Sitting in the back room putting off starting work, watching goldfinches getting narky with a bullfinch on the bird feeders. And listening to top radio. Great start to the day
	3:53am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Guy in Solihull UK @3:41 Riley & Michelle are amazing, I used to listen every night driving home from a Drive shift on a disaster of a radio station... That Ken Bruce now appears on by networking magic.
	3:54am Guy in Solihull UK: Just read my last comment back and I'm getting AccidentalPartridge vibes. Quite proud of that ha
	3:56am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Guy in Solihull UK @3:54 But who got the power pack? NEWS
	3:57am Guy in Solihull UK: ↳ Dan Morfitt @3:56 Haha!
	3:57am Katharsis: Hellos dj dan, listeners
	3:58am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: Weeeeeeeekendeeeerrrr
	4:00am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: Flowered up vibes
	4:05am Erik/VermonT: Cardiacs - (why not?)
	4:05am Brian in UK: ↳ Paulo AD @3:38 That does sound dodgy.
	4:12am Paulo AD: Mark and Lard back in the day was the one
	4:31am bluecharlie: This really is the hyperextended remix...😱 Good Morning, Dan! Good Morning, Lite listeners!
	4:32am Krys O.: Good morning!
	4:38am Paulo AD: Applying for jobs is such a fucking chore
	4:40am Strandlund: Happy Friday, Dan and all those listening in...Is that quote at the top something the Dalai Lama said?
	4:44am J-W from B: My goodness, how extended is this mix?
	4:44am J-W from B: Good morning btw
	4:45am Bonnie Prince Jamie: Morning Dan and Lite Brigade from rainy East Cheshire. Heading down to the big smoke later to catch Yo La Tengo at the Palladium - fancy!
	4:51am ike-o: Peace
	4:52am ike-o: @Paulo AD concur. Hang in there.
	4:54am Paulo AD: Is this song stuck on a loop ?
	4:55am Pox: This remix is extended like winter in Narnia.
	4:56am ?: ↳ J-W from B @4:44 Has it really been on since 4:03 am? That’s 52 minutes and counting.
	4:57am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning. :)
	4:57am pineberry jane: Wow, it IS big. That’s a biggun
	4:58am Col in Durham, U.K.: Girthfrst 2023
	4:59am Robini: Yo yo yo, morning from Bklyn
	4:59am ?: This is SO GREAT for my morning writing ritual. Words can distract, and hey, I can't ALWAYS listen to Brian Eno's ambient music.
	4:59am David WSW: I’m the Question Mark commenter. I forgot to enter my name. G’morning, Dan! G’morning, world!
	5:00am ?: This is Derek from Massachusetts, by the way!
	5:00am Paulo AD: Can't believe its still going
	5:00am Jan Turkenburg: So many question marks :)
	5:01am David WSW: I should clarify that I was the Question Mark commenter at 4:56 am, not the other one.
	5:01am Derbyshire Dave: Playing air drums for the last 30 minutes
	5:01am Listener John from NJ: Guten Morgen, y'all!
	5:02am Dan Morfitt: That was supposed to give me a break for an hour but it's hyped me summat chronic!
	5:03am derekleif: My goodness. It's over. I feel as if we all threw the ring into Mount Doom. It's like, we've been through three books, and three movies, and Peter Jackson made a series of films called "The Big Idea" trilogy.
	5:03am hendrix wolfbat: Hiya from rainy atl. Happy Friday y'all
	5:03am pol: extended remix over already?!?!
	5:03am derekleif: Very satisfying, that remix.
	5:04am pol in berlin: oh, good early morning to you all in the USA
	5:07am David WSW: This song has a bit of everything, and in less than one hour
	5:08am Dan Morfitt: ↳ David WSW @5:07 LOVE IT!
	5:11am David WSW: Any word on Alison Goldfrapp’s solo album due to be released soon?
	5:12am derekleif: I have to say, as a first time listener to this show, Dan, you're reminding me of something seriously American: the set up pitcher. The setup pitcher, in a nine inning baseball game (I know, we play nine of what we singularly call "an inning," as opposed to three of what you call "an innings" but our games are only one day long), is the person who pitches in the 7th or 8th inning to "setup" the game for the ninth inning pitcher, called "the closer." For me, in my mornings, "the closer" is Clay Pigeon, and you, sir, now give me a reason to get up even earlier. Just loving this stuff. Man. 5:08, and already, fifty-two minutes before Clay, I'm glistening. Bless you, sir...I'm weeping tears of gratitude, I tell you. I'm flooding Beverly Massachusetts at this very moment wtih my tears, and will no doubt turn the Merrimack River brackish when I drive to the Lowell High School library, and pause for a moment by one of the canals to reflect on how Dan Morfitt made me contemplate all for which I have to be thankful. Thank you so much for this, Dan.
	5:13am pineberry jane: Quick scan of today’s playlist - I spotted the Top Gun theme. Imagine if that got the Hyperextended Remix treatment. Oh my.
	5:13am Paulo AD: ↳ derekleif @5:12 Beautiful words
	5:14am Strandlund: ↳ derekleif @5:12 I totally agree!!
	5:14am Dan Morfitt: ↳ derekleif @5:12 Beautiful! Welcome to the LITE Brigade, you have a thicc archive to listen to at your leisure!
	5:17am David WSW: ↳ David WSW @5:11 Thanks for that info, Dan!
	5:19am The Butterman: Yo , Dan!
	5:20am derekleif: Oh, my goodness, Dan, what a lovely thing to say about me! Oh, uh...I do need to point out that my name is pronounced "leaf," not "life." Thanks, thanks, thanks! And everyone's comments about my writing gave the Friday Warm and Fuzzies. And now, to make it complete, we have Jack Black to take us into the weekend, with, I'm guessing, Kyle Gass in there somewhere.
	5:21am derekleif: Tenacious D. Such nice young men.
	5:21am David WSW: Interesting documentary on Amazon about the inspiration and events leading to Pete Townsend’s creation of “Tommy” (with the mates, of course). Lots of trauma there.
	5:21am derekleif: Not so young anymore. Sigh. Mr. Show was, like, 27 years ago.
	5:22am derekleif: What's the name of doc, David WSW?
	5:24am David WSW: ↳ derekleif @5:22 The Who—Sensation The Story of Tommy
	5:28am derekleif: Tommy was an integral part of my childhood. My ten year-old brother had the album in the early 70s, and I was four. I listened to it obsessively, and of course, being that this was, lanky lizards, I'm such an old man, the days of vinyl, I scratched up the record so that mom and dad bought my brother another copy. And I loved, loved, that I had my own copy, even if "Pinball Wizard" did sound, on my cheap record player, as if bacon were sizzling next to Pete Townsend's amplifier, as the track was filled with scratches and pops. Sigh. Good times, good times.
	5:28am pineberry jane: Dan, do the Spice Girls still get played at least once every week on L I T E?
	5:31am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: No Way No Way by Vanilla tho
	5:31am Colin in Durham England: ↳ pineberry jane @5:28 We don’t mention the Spice Girls anymore
	5:32am derekleif: So, okay, folks, thanks to David, I have something to watch this weekend ("Sensation: The Story of Tommy," on Amazon). Because I'm a school librarian always looking for good stuff to tell my students about, does anyone have anythjing to recommend that they've read, looked at (images), watched (moving images), or listened to (songs, music without words, spoken words)?
	5:32am David WSW: ↳ derekleif @5:28 Similar story here. My older brother’s copy of “Tommy” shaped my formative years, starting at 10 years old.
	5:32am Colin in Durham England: ↳ derekleif @5:32 Hi Ren by Ren
	5:33am adampsyche: hey good morning
	5:33am derekleif: NO! YOU WERE BORN IN BEVERLY????
	5:33am derekleif: YES! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!
	5:34am derekleif: TAFT!!!
	5:34am derekleif: My goodness, sir, what a morning you've given me!
	5:34am ike-o: I learn more on this station
	5:34am Colin in Durham England: I took an E at the end too
	5:34am LiXiviated Life: I was born in Jersey City. That was about 11 presidents ago
	5:34am derekleif: Mind blown. Scraping up pieces of brain with this whole coincidence thing that links me to Dan Morfitt.
	5:35am Dan Morfitt: ↳ derekleif @5:33 The OB. Original Beverley. It's also why there's a Hull in South Boston...
	5:35am David WSW: ↳ derekleif @5:34 You are brothers from a different motherland.
	5:36am Mungo Perkins: Was on a geology trip in the late 90's in Beverley and saw a 'gentleman of the road' with his radio blaring, balancing a bumble bee on his finger :)
	5:36am GPB: G'morning Dan & All! Heading to Lodi NJ early. Happy to catch the last half hour!
	5:36am derekleif: We just took all your names and slapped them on the signs over here, Dan.
	5:37am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Mungo Perkins @5:36 I'm having this on a T Shirt.
	5:38am LiXiviated Life: Wait a minute It’s 13 President s I forgot to count Joe and the other guy
	5:38am ike-o: Lord baltimore enters the chat
	5:38am derekleif: I posted this before, and will post it again every couple of minutes: I'm a school librarian, and I'm always looking for stuff to recommend to my students. Any song/music without words/images/films/shows/natural phenomena to recommend to a kiddo this weekend?
	5:40am James in ATL: ↳ Song: "Pacific Coast Highway" by "Burt Bacharach" Love this Burt Bacharach!
	5:41am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): More Sporty Spice, please.
	5:41am David WSW: If any of your students are interested in the social and cultural shifts in Britain (and the empire) during the 60s, the Michael Caine documentary “My Generation” provides a lot of good information. Trigger warning: there’s talk about DRUG USE. (OMG)
	5:41am hendrix wolfbat: Is that clay pigeon on the flute in this song?
	5:43am ?: ↳ derekleif @5:38 turn on, tune in and drop out
	5:44am derekleif: It's funny that you discuss trigger warnings, David, because it's actually one of the reasons that I want to create a sort of "virtual hangout school library" where I can just put this stuff up there, and recommend things I just think the kids would like without anyone going cray cray over it.
	5:45am derekleif: I just think that if I set it up on my own website, I avoid any stickiness of it coming from "the high school librarian." If I create a sort of fun virtual school library on my own site that just steers kiddos toward good things, man, it'll just be so much more chill.
	5:46am derekleif: Just a place where I can, say, discuss the virtues of "La Jetee," and Todd Hayne's "The Karen Carpenter Story." You can watch both of those on YouTube, and if I record some thoughts and post some links to Todd Haynes and Chris Marker, hey, there's a fun vacation bit of film school for one of my kiddos.
	5:48am Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ derekleif @5:45 greetings from beautiful and warm Tannersville DJDM and all. my mom turned me on to a Will Cuppy book (1950) The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody, New York: Holt. Edited by Fred Feldkamp. Illustrations by William Steig. recommended by i.
	5:48am David WSW: I get it and like it, but you know how the fascist trolls work these days: they’ll accuse you of “grooming” the kids into that lifestyle. (Reality and facts don’t matter to them.) Just a friendly heads-up.)
	5:49am MD: LIGHT???
	5:49am Listener Bop Monroe: Dear Dead Days by Chas. Addams twisted my little brain to this day.
	5:50am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): ↳ Song: "Northern Star" by "Melanie C" ❤️❤️⚽️
	5:50am The Butterman: ↳ derekleif @5:45 Someone ALWAYS gets upset. I just had a giant mural cancelled after it’s been on the wall for 22 years. ( high school art teacher 23 3/4 years )
	5:50am MD: This one makes me feel like I’m back in high school 1978…
	5:50am derekleif: And, like, fine. Maybe the virtual library I create will be one I support with Patreon, or Venmo, or something else, is just what I can do. Not have to be beholden to a school district. Just spend the rest of my life, a librarian in The Matrix, pointing you toward cool stuff.
	5:51am derekleif: Aw, Butterman, that's awful. What was on it that made folks get their knickers in a twist?
	5:51am Listener Bop Monroe: on BBCSounds, 'Evil Genius' episode this week is BOWIE!!!
	5:51am David WSW: ↳ derekleif @5:46 Especially when dealing with children, you (in general, not specifically you in the singular) become a target. God forbid you open a child’s mind. They prefer you keep them ignorant and controlled.
	5:52am Sean Bikes: Always lovely to wake up to WFMU LITE Heading out for my run and I'm as sporty a spice as I'm gonna get Thanks, Dan
	5:52am James in ATL: Thanks for a great show, Dan! Cheers!
	5:52am Mattynotimes: I love wfmu lite! And I love Radiohead
	5:53am derekleif: Oops...gotta go, folks. It's a long drive from Beverly to Lowell High School. Take care y'all. Folks, I can tell you how much I love chatting with you all. It was just a wonderful way to start the day. And Dan, thanks so much for the music. I'll be back when Clay's on. Have a great weekend, mate (or, if it's a Guy Ritchie film, son)!
	5:53am radioronan: Thanks, Dan.Onwards, brigade.Cheers, y'all!
	5:53am 12539: Thanks, Dan.
	5:54am LiXiviated Life: @drreklief Listen, you’ve got a great idea and I support you but I’m afraid some culture warrior somewhere is gonna find that website and use it to attack the school and you so that they can have their 15 minutes of fame. Good luck but we’re all doomed anyway.
	5:54am The Butterman: Just some depictions of people of color with lettering above them that said, demonization of the black man” , painted by an African American student after I introduced her to the work of Kerry James Marshall. Let’s just say people “don’t get art” so… painting taken down with no conversation
	5:55am The Butterman: ↳ LiXiviated Life @5:54 Yup
	5:55am Listener Bop Monroe: :-)
	5:56am David WSW: Enjoy your lobster, Dan!!
	5:56am adampsyche: enjoy! was just in Portland last summer
	5:58am Will thee Sound Guy: thank you Dan!!!
	6:04am Hal: Dance, NJ. Dance now!
	6:05am Mattynotimes: Morning Clay! Hope you’re having a fantastic Friday morning!
	6:30am pol in berlin: Hey Clay. Greetings from rainy and cold Berlin.

	3:24am Paulo AD: I did thanks, it was under my car seat rest on a thing that looked exactly like the key. I had to get a torch on it. I knew it was in the car because the car was starting, but for the life of me.....
	3:26am Colin in Durham England: That was the best thing that ever happened, I was in the back kitchen putting the washing in and heard Kenickie in the front room, I ran through and pressed the speaker against my ear as I danced through the house and mate, I could cry
	3:28am Colin in Durham England: I know she’s like live on air on a certain British station like right now but they play such awful tunes sometimes. I’m garuanteed to like this show even when it’s… y’know
	3:32am Paulo AD: This is a shocker haha
	3:34am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Colin in Durham England @3:28 Even when it's..? Glenn & Chris? I was rejected by 6Music a long time ago but their studio at Wogan House was a bit nasty! Onwards and sidewards...
	3:35am Colin in Durham England: ↳ Song: "The Worm" by "HMLTD" A what?
	3:35am Brian in UK: The joy of this station is that you never know what is coming. What time is Ken Bruce on? 6Music never lived up to what I was expecting. I was spoiled by John Peel when I was an impressionable youth!
	3:38am Paulo AD: ↳ Brian in UK @3:35 Not sure you can phrase it like that these days hah
	3:38am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: ↳ Dan Morfitt @3:34 When Phill Jupitus left it was ruined, the daytime playlist came in and all freeform was lost. I worked with him on a tv pilot years later and he put me on to WFMU, I love him so much more now
	3:41am Paulo AD: ↳ Song: "Top Gun Anthem" by "Faltermeyer" TUNE
	3:41am Guy in Solihull UK: ↳ Colin and Eddie in Durham England @3:38 Shame they messing with 7pm -12am slot. That's usually when I try to listen in. Otherwise it's WFMU all the way for me now, certainly during the day
	3:41am Paulo AD: ↳ Colin and Eddie in Durham England @3:38 Met him in a Beta Band gig in Cardiff once, well say met him..stood next to him
	3:43am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): ↳ Paulo AD @3:41 I shamelessly unironically love the Top Gun CD. This is the Top Gun anthem, not Larry Greene, which is also a kickin' track.
	3:44am Paulo AD: Everyweek I say this...I haven't heard this for time. Can still weirdly sing along
	3:45am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: ↳ Dan Morfitt @3:34 When I asked for a gig at wogan house, filming the sessions, they said no, I moved to Manchester and Michelle, Marc’s producer was like “yea! Howay in!” I got to film Jesca Hoop and Erland & The Carnival (and got smashed in their caravan with bassist Simon Tong, who I later found out is now in the fucking Gorillaz! And sessioned on some mad classic albums.
	3:45am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): ↳ Song: "She's So High" by "Tal Bachman" Now this is one I haven't heard in awhile even though I own the CD single.
	3:49am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: ↳ Guy in Solihull UK @3:41 Fuming. Luckily he mentioned meeting someone from radio 2 about the future of Parallel Universe so he’s got his fingers in some pies at least
	3:49am Guy in Solihull UK: Ooof tune
	3:51am Guy in Solihull UK: ↳ Colin and Eddie in Durham England @3:49 Fingers crossed for that.
	3:53am Guy in Solihull UK: Sitting in the back room putting off starting work, watching goldfinches getting narky with a bullfinch on the bird feeders. And listening to top radio. Great start to the day
	3:53am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Guy in Solihull UK @3:41 Riley & Michelle are amazing, I used to listen every night driving home from a Drive shift on a disaster of a radio station... That Ken Bruce now appears on by networking magic.
	3:54am Guy in Solihull UK: Just read my last comment back and I'm getting AccidentalPartridge vibes. Quite proud of that ha
	3:56am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Guy in Solihull UK @3:54 But who got the power pack? NEWS
	3:57am Guy in Solihull UK: ↳ Dan Morfitt @3:56 Haha!
	3:57am Katharsis: Hellos dj dan, listeners
	3:58am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: Weeeeeeeekendeeeerrrr
	4:00am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: Flowered up vibes
	4:05am Erik/VermonT: Cardiacs - (why not?)
	4:05am Brian in UK: ↳ Paulo AD @3:38 That does sound dodgy.
	4:12am Paulo AD: Mark and Lard back in the day was the one
	4:31am bluecharlie: This really is the hyperextended remix...😱 Good Morning, Dan! Good Morning, Lite listeners!
	4:32am Krys O.: Good morning!
	4:38am Paulo AD: Applying for jobs is such a fucking chore
	4:40am Strandlund: Happy Friday, Dan and all those listening in...Is that quote at the top something the Dalai Lama said?
	4:44am J-W from B: My goodness, how extended is this mix?
	4:44am J-W from B: Good morning btw
	4:45am Bonnie Prince Jamie: Morning Dan and Lite Brigade from rainy East Cheshire. Heading down to the big smoke later to catch Yo La Tengo at the Palladium - fancy!
	4:51am ike-o: Peace
	4:52am ike-o: @Paulo AD concur. Hang in there.
	4:54am Paulo AD: Is this song stuck on a loop ?
	4:55am Pox: This remix is extended like winter in Narnia.
	4:56am ?: ↳ J-W from B @4:44 Has it really been on since 4:03 am? That’s 52 minutes and counting.
	4:57am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning. :)
	4:57am pineberry jane: Wow, it IS big. That’s a biggun
	4:58am Col in Durham, U.K.: Girthfrst 2023
	4:59am Robini: Yo yo yo, morning from Bklyn
	4:59am ?: This is SO GREAT for my morning writing ritual. Words can distract, and hey, I can't ALWAYS listen to Brian Eno's ambient music.
	4:59am David WSW: I’m the Question Mark commenter. I forgot to enter my name. G’morning, Dan! G’morning, world!
	5:00am ?: This is Derek from Massachusetts, by the way!
	5:00am Paulo AD: Can't believe its still going
	5:00am Jan Turkenburg: So many question marks :)
	5:01am David WSW: I should clarify that I was the Question Mark commenter at 4:56 am, not the other one.
	5:01am Derbyshire Dave: Playing air drums for the last 30 minutes
	5:01am Listener John from NJ: Guten Morgen, y'all!
	5:02am Dan Morfitt: That was supposed to give me a break for an hour but it's hyped me summat chronic!
	5:03am derekleif: My goodness. It's over. I feel as if we all threw the ring into Mount Doom. It's like, we've been through three books, and three movies, and Peter Jackson made a series of films called "The Big Idea" trilogy.
	5:03am hendrix wolfbat: Hiya from rainy atl. Happy Friday y'all
	5:03am pol: extended remix over already?!?!
	5:03am derekleif: Very satisfying, that remix.
	5:04am pol in berlin: oh, good early morning to you all in the USA
	5:07am David WSW: This song has a bit of everything, and in less than one hour
	5:08am Dan Morfitt: ↳ David WSW @5:07 LOVE IT!
	5:11am David WSW: Any word on Alison Goldfrapp’s solo album due to be released soon?
	5:12am derekleif: I have to say, as a first time listener to this show, Dan, you're reminding me of something seriously American: the set up pitcher. The setup pitcher, in a nine inning baseball game (I know, we play nine of what we singularly call "an inning," as opposed to three of what you call "an innings" but our games are only one day long), is the person who pitches in the 7th or 8th inning to "setup" the game for the ninth inning pitcher, called "the closer." For me, in my mornings, "the closer" is Clay Pigeon, and you, sir, now give me a reason to get up even earlier. Just loving this stuff. Man. 5:08, and already, fifty-two minutes before Clay, I'm glistening. Bless you, sir...I'm weeping tears of gratitude, I tell you. I'm flooding Beverly Massachusetts at this very moment wtih my tears, and will no doubt turn the Merrimack River brackish when I drive to the Lowell High School library, and pause for a moment by one of the canals to reflect on how Dan Morfitt made me contemplate all for which I have to be thankful. Thank you so much for this, Dan.
	5:13am pineberry jane: Quick scan of today’s playlist - I spotted the Top Gun theme. Imagine if that got the Hyperextended Remix treatment. Oh my.
	5:13am Paulo AD: ↳ derekleif @5:12 Beautiful words
	5:14am Strandlund: ↳ derekleif @5:12 I totally agree!!
	5:14am Dan Morfitt: ↳ derekleif @5:12 Beautiful! Welcome to the LITE Brigade, you have a thicc archive to listen to at your leisure!
	5:17am David WSW: ↳ David WSW @5:11 Thanks for that info, Dan!
	5:19am The Butterman: Yo , Dan!
	5:20am derekleif: Oh, my goodness, Dan, what a lovely thing to say about me! Oh, uh...I do need to point out that my name is pronounced "leaf," not "life." Thanks, thanks, thanks! And everyone's comments about my writing gave the Friday Warm and Fuzzies. And now, to make it complete, we have Jack Black to take us into the weekend, with, I'm guessing, Kyle Gass in there somewhere.
	5:21am derekleif: Tenacious D. Such nice young men.
	5:21am David WSW: Interesting documentary on Amazon about the inspiration and events leading to Pete Townsend’s creation of “Tommy” (with the mates, of course). Lots of trauma there.
	5:21am derekleif: Not so young anymore. Sigh. Mr. Show was, like, 27 years ago.
	5:22am derekleif: What's the name of doc, David WSW?
	5:24am David WSW: ↳ derekleif @5:22 The Who—Sensation The Story of Tommy
	5:28am derekleif: Tommy was an integral part of my childhood. My ten year-old brother had the album in the early 70s, and I was four. I listened to it obsessively, and of course, being that this was, lanky lizards, I'm such an old man, the days of vinyl, I scratched up the record so that mom and dad bought my brother another copy. And I loved, loved, that I had my own copy, even if "Pinball Wizard" did sound, on my cheap record player, as if bacon were sizzling next to Pete Townsend's amplifier, as the track was filled with scratches and pops. Sigh. Good times, good times.
	5:28am pineberry jane: Dan, do the Spice Girls still get played at least once every week on L I T E?
	5:31am Colin and Eddie in Durham England: No Way No Way by Vanilla tho
	5:31am Colin in Durham England: ↳ pineberry jane @5:28 We don’t mention the Spice Girls anymore
	5:32am derekleif: So, okay, folks, thanks to David, I have something to watch this weekend ("Sensation: The Story of Tommy," on Amazon). Because I'm a school librarian always looking for good stuff to tell my students about, does anyone have anythjing to recommend that they've read, looked at (images), watched (moving images), or listened to (songs, music without words, spoken words)?
	5:32am David WSW: ↳ derekleif @5:28 Similar story here. My older brother’s copy of “Tommy” shaped my formative years, starting at 10 years old.
	5:32am Colin in Durham England: ↳ derekleif @5:32 Hi Ren by Ren
	5:33am adampsyche: hey good morning
	5:33am derekleif: NO! YOU WERE BORN IN BEVERLY????
	5:33am derekleif: YES! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!
	5:34am derekleif: TAFT!!!
	5:34am derekleif: My goodness, sir, what a morning you've given me!
	5:34am ike-o: I learn more on this station
	5:34am Colin in Durham England: I took an E at the end too
	5:34am LiXiviated Life: I was born in Jersey City. That was about 11 presidents ago
	5:34am derekleif: Mind blown. Scraping up pieces of brain with this whole coincidence thing that links me to Dan Morfitt.
	5:35am Dan Morfitt: ↳ derekleif @5:33 The OB. Original Beverley. It's also why there's a Hull in South Boston...
	5:35am David WSW: ↳ derekleif @5:34 You are brothers from a different motherland.
	5:36am Mungo Perkins: Was on a geology trip in the late 90's in Beverley and saw a 'gentleman of the road' with his radio blaring, balancing a bumble bee on his finger :)
	5:36am GPB: G'morning Dan & All! Heading to Lodi NJ early. Happy to catch the last half hour!
	5:36am derekleif: We just took all your names and slapped them on the signs over here, Dan.
	5:37am Dan Morfitt: ↳ Mungo Perkins @5:36 I'm having this on a T Shirt.
	5:38am LiXiviated Life: Wait a minute It’s 13 President s I forgot to count Joe and the other guy
	5:38am ike-o: Lord baltimore enters the chat
	5:38am derekleif: I posted this before, and will post it again every couple of minutes: I'm a school librarian, and I'm always looking for stuff to recommend to my students. Any song/music without words/images/films/shows/natural phenomena to recommend to a kiddo this weekend?
	5:40am James in ATL: ↳ Song: "Pacific Coast Highway" by "Burt Bacharach" Love this Burt Bacharach!
	5:41am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): More Sporty Spice, please.
	5:41am David WSW: If any of your students are interested in the social and cultural shifts in Britain (and the empire) during the 60s, the Michael Caine documentary “My Generation” provides a lot of good information. Trigger warning: there’s talk about DRUG USE. (OMG)
	5:41am hendrix wolfbat: Is that clay pigeon on the flute in this song?
	5:43am ?: ↳ derekleif @5:38 turn on, tune in and drop out
	5:44am derekleif: It's funny that you discuss trigger warnings, David, because it's actually one of the reasons that I want to create a sort of "virtual hangout school library" where I can just put this stuff up there, and recommend things I just think the kids would like without anyone going cray cray over it.
	5:45am derekleif: I just think that if I set it up on my own website, I avoid any stickiness of it coming from "the high school librarian." If I create a sort of fun virtual school library on my own site that just steers kiddos toward good things, man, it'll just be so much more chill.
	5:46am derekleif: Just a place where I can, say, discuss the virtues of "La Jetee," and Todd Hayne's "The Karen Carpenter Story." You can watch both of those on YouTube, and if I record some thoughts and post some links to Todd Haynes and Chris Marker, hey, there's a fun vacation bit of film school for one of my kiddos.
	5:48am Listener Bop Monroe: ↳ derekleif @5:45 greetings from beautiful and warm Tannersville DJDM and all. my mom turned me on to a Will Cuppy book (1950) The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody, New York: Holt. Edited by Fred Feldkamp. Illustrations by William Steig. recommended by i.
	5:48am David WSW: I get it and like it, but you know how the fascist trolls work these days: they’ll accuse you of “grooming” the kids into that lifestyle. (Reality and facts don’t matter to them.) Just a friendly heads-up.)
	5:49am MD: LIGHT???
	5:49am Listener Bop Monroe: Dear Dead Days by Chas. Addams twisted my little brain to this day.
	5:50am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): ↳ Song: "Northern Star" by "Melanie C" ❤️❤️⚽️
	5:50am The Butterman: ↳ derekleif @5:45 Someone ALWAYS gets upset. I just had a giant mural cancelled after it’s been on the wall for 22 years. ( high school art teacher 23 3/4 years )
	5:50am MD: This one makes me feel like I’m back in high school 1978…
	5:50am derekleif: And, like, fine. Maybe the virtual library I create will be one I support with Patreon, or Venmo, or something else, is just what I can do. Not have to be beholden to a school district. Just spend the rest of my life, a librarian in The Matrix, pointing you toward cool stuff.
	5:51am derekleif: Aw, Butterman, that's awful. What was on it that made folks get their knickers in a twist?
	5:51am Listener Bop Monroe: on BBCSounds, 'Evil Genius' episode this week is BOWIE!!!
	5:51am David WSW: ↳ derekleif @5:46 Especially when dealing with children, you (in general, not specifically you in the singular) become a target. God forbid you open a child’s mind. They prefer you keep them ignorant and controlled.
	5:52am Sean Bikes: Always lovely to wake up to WFMU LITE Heading out for my run and I'm as sporty a spice as I'm gonna get Thanks, Dan
	5:52am James in ATL: Thanks for a great show, Dan! Cheers!
	5:52am Mattynotimes: I love wfmu lite! And I love Radiohead
	5:53am derekleif: Oops...gotta go, folks. It's a long drive from Beverly to Lowell High School. Take care y'all. Folks, I can tell you how much I love chatting with you all. It was just a wonderful way to start the day. And Dan, thanks so much for the music. I'll be back when Clay's on. Have a great weekend, mate (or, if it's a Guy Ritchie film, son)!
	5:53am radioronan: Thanks, Dan.Onwards, brigade.Cheers, y'all!
	5:53am 12539: Thanks, Dan.
	5:54am LiXiviated Life: @drreklief Listen, you’ve got a great idea and I support you but I’m afraid some culture warrior somewhere is gonna find that website and use it to attack the school and you so that they can have their 15 minutes of fame. Good luck but we’re all doomed anyway.
	5:54am The Butterman: Just some depictions of people of color with lettering above them that said, demonization of the black man” , painted by an African American student after I introduced her to the work of Kerry James Marshall. Let’s just say people “don’t get art” so… painting taken down with no conversation
	5:55am The Butterman: ↳ LiXiviated Life @5:54 Yup
	5:55am Listener Bop Monroe: :-)
	5:56am David WSW: Enjoy your lobster, Dan!!
	5:56am adampsyche: enjoy! was just in Portland last summer
	5:58am Will thee Sound Guy: thank you Dan!!!
	6:04am Hal: Dance, NJ. Dance now!
	6:05am Mattynotimes: Morning Clay! Hope you’re having a fantastic Friday morning!
	6:30am pol in berlin: Hey Clay. Greetings from rainy and cold Berlin.
