A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

trouble:

good morning!
  9:07am
Dave in Vermont:

ahhhh, Trouble.
  9:07am
Parq:

Back atcha
  9:09am
PMD:

Morning! Windows open at home, so I may confuse Trouble's birds with my own. Not a bad situation.
  9:09am
yayson:

another great morning of music thanks to trouble
  9:13am
MIchael:

Just came across this amazing video yesterday of Kratwerk before they were "Kraftwerk!" Amazing flute and organ duo - http://tinyurl.com/289cs49
  9:14am
MIchael:

Oh and top of the morning Trouble!
  9:18am
Jill:

Time to get my groove on!
  9:21am
trouble:

i think i must be seeking a beat as a way of creating warmth becuz it is FREEEEEZING in this crazy studio....chatterrrrr chatterrrr
  9:24am
sugarwolf:

put a little sweater on!
  9:27am
trouble:

i am wearing a little casmir vintage item my knitting friend, but that is all i brought, drats.
  9:28am
trouble:

good morning michael! you are up early considering you are in a different time zone
  9:33am
Francis:

Hi Trouble,
This Lindstrom & Christabelle's track mixed the very warmth with the very cold:great ! But not so cool for you ! Take care ! Have you a glass of hot rum beside you ;it could be good for your cold snap ;purhaps less good for the show !
  9:33am
sugarwolf:

well, you should knit your self something up, surely you can make a sweater in two hours ;)
  9:36am
yayson:

ok, so my dog is looking around for the birds and sniffing the speakers
  9:42am
CheriPi:

Mme Trouble-Avez-vous de Bertrand Burgalat?
  9:42am
Brian:

Greetings from Madison. It's time to plant tomatoes.
  9:44am
Shana:

Good Morning, Trouble Nation!
  9:47am
Brian:

The Trouble Nation rises to offer succor to a troubled nation.
  9:49am
trouble:

bonjour francis! tu oublie qu'il est le matin ici, no time for rhum....
  9:53am
Brian:

Can't wait to hear: "La sturnelle lance son cri triste." Or some such ...
  10:04am
Cecile:

Trouble this instrumental is lovely. I can't get enough of that sound.
  10:07am
Dead Corporate Eyes:

buy a Telecaster and an old Fender amp and then detune the guitar a bit...you can have that sound all the time!
  10:07am
Cecile:

Thanks, DEC! I might have to do that.
  10:10am
Cecile:

Okay, here's a dilemma. I bought a great painting and threw my entertainment budget out of whack. Should I keep my $20/mo emusic subscription, or ditch it and look for new music via blogs and the public library? I do like to have access to newer releases since I still write about music sometimes.
  10:11am
Dead Corporate Eyes:

I don't know what e music is...I've always just counted on radio stations such as this to keep me informed as to wuzzup.
  10:13am
Cecile:

It's a download service offered by the Experience music Project. THey have loads of indie stuff, and are starting to have access to back catalog of the majors. I can get 50 dls for $20/mo, and I frequently get more thru sales and promo offers they give me.
  10:13am
Cecile:

Ditch the emusic spending for now-You'll probably come out richer (in music and $) for it. Let us know what you find!
  10:14am
CheriPi:

Oops, that last one is from me to you, not from you to you!
  10:14am
dc pat:

Cecile: I'm afraid you're going to have to cut out a meal each day instead. Ya can't stop listenin to music!
  10:14am
seang:

it's weird that FMU hardly ever plays Nellie McKay--she's gotta be one of the best songwriters out there!
  10:15am
dc pat:

every time I hear this song I get bummed. Thanks trouble.
  10:17am
Cecile:

LOL! Thanks, Cheri. I think I'll think a little bit more, but there are so many good things out there. And it's not like I have no records or CDs of my own....:/

dcp, can't do that! I wish, though.

seang, request her! Let your voice be heard!
  10:18am
Dead Corporate Eyes:

that e music thing doesn't sound bad...may have to look into that. though I prefer going to small shows and picking up discs directly from the artists.
  10:20am
Cecile:

i do that, too! Argh! I think I'm going to keep emusic, but limit the impulse show/amazon purchases.

And dcp, there are loads of small bands with music up on Emusic.
  10:21am
Cecile:

and emusic pays 'em!
  10:22am
trent:

yes
  10:23am
J-Mar:

I have to say that my appetite for new music is almost totally satisfied by listening to WFMU -- plus, when you factor in the Free Music Archive and the WFMU blog, there really is tons of great stuff out there available to try out at no cost. And then when I hear something I really, really dig (most recently Wet Hair and Sun Araw), I purchase it from my local record store or from the label.

Speaking of listening to WFMU, I'm finally tuning back in now that I have an office again! My work got flooded in the Nashville floods from a few weeks ago, and I've been working from home, dealing with flooded basement, etc., so not much FMU lately. Nice to have it back in my day-to-day routine.
  10:24am
texas scott:

massive attack sounds like nothing but the girl.
  10:25am
north guinea hills:

Holy crap, I actually like Massive Attack. Am I just getting old?
  10:26am
texas scott:

sorry,everything but the girl.
  10:27am
michaelh:

Is massive attack the new soft rock?
  10:27am
trouble:

tracy thorn from EBTG is singing lead vocal on this massive attack song. NGhills: i have liked massive attack forever , am i aging backwards?
  10:28am
Cecile:

J-Mar - I love comedy albums, and emusic has a lot of them. I think I'll stick with them, but really flesh it out with free music. Especially since I got Blackie, my 2T hard drive! Paid for by turning old CDs.

I'll take Massive Attack over the old soft rock, for sure.
  10:31am
BSI:

hey now... THE BEST OF BREAD played at 16RPM thru a distortion unit & slow tremolo would probably be a lovely thing.
  10:32am
Cecile:

Bread are actually one of the scariest and most nihilistic groups I have ever heard. They are kind of frightening. David Gates was one depressed guy. The Ian Curtis of Soft Rock.
  10:34am
J-Mar:

I get that Cecille - you can't rely on Scharpling and Wurster to take care of *all* your comedy needs.

Speaking of, who's funny these days? There's a comedy club in our neighborhood but we never go, because there's a good chance it's going to be a comedy-circuit geezer like Killer Beaz or the latest variant on Larry the Cable Guy. But every now and then, they get someone hip.
  10:35am
Francis:

Listening to Little Beaver,I was wondering if anyone know the seventies NYC band B.T. Express ? (available on emusic) . I love their 1976 album Energy to Burn.
  10:35am
Cecile:

I love Eugene Mirman, of course Flight of the Conchords, Zach Galifinakis, Demetri Martin, Nick Swardson, Arj Barker, Maria Bamford, um, there are more. Doug Benson can be funny, and he usually has someone great open for him.
  10:36am
Cecile:

Rhys Darby is pretty hilarious, and I even like the gentle mostly G-rated Gabriel Iglesias.
  10:38am
Cecile:

Kristin Schaal is mindblowingly weird and hilarious. I miss FoTC because I'd see my favorite comics and learn about new ones. I still like Jim Gaffigan.
  10:39am
michaelh:

It was a compliment!
  10:40am
north guinea hills:

I think I was just more of a myopic music snob back in the 90s when Massive Attacked.

(i got over it)
  10:40am
Joe M:

Do it, Trouble! Play Bread!
  10:41am
seang:

marc maron and eddie pepitone are hilarious
  10:41am
Cecile:

I wasn't complaining about them.

I just fear them. Go ahead, play them, I am ready for my soul to be chilled.
  10:41am
Maria D:

Bread! Please do play some Bread!
  10:42am
J-Mar:

How about a mashup of Bread and Joy Division?
  10:42am
Cecile:

I love Marc Maron.

Also, Greg Giraldo. Dave Attell.
  10:43am
Cecile:

Wow, I finally heard Hector Lavoe several years back, and he's one of those singers that you know who he is from the first three notes.
  10:44am
texas scott:

c'mon trouble...make us a sandwich.
or at least,some toast.
  10:45am
north guinea hills:

PBS has a nice doc on Fania recs a few months ago. It was tre nice.
  10:45am
Rob W:

Nothing wrong with Bread, Massive Attack - or Wille Colon & Hector Lavoe! Nice choice - this was actually the massive hit from their famous Christmas cd Asalto Navideño - although it's not technically a Christmas song. And on the cuatro, Yomo Toro!
  10:46am
J-Mar:

Hector Lavoe! Que rico! [can't figure out how to do the upside down exclamation point]
  10:46am
Aaron:

Oye Oye Oye Hector Lavoe - gracias!
  10:47am
Aaron:

¡ = opt/alt 1
  10:47am
BSI:

whoa -- I step away for a couple o'minutes & come back to a mad uprising of my fellow BREAD FREAKS!
  10:48am
still b/p:

Never got the hostility & turbo-cringe. Wasn't a Bread fan in the day or now, but it's fine...even good...as period pop, and entertaining as the "emo" of its day. Big funny to hear the stuff Muzaked...drowsy trumpet mimicking the opening vocal of "Hey...have you ever tried..."
  10:48am
J-Mar:

Five Stairsteps: One of THE BEST SONGS EVER!
  10:51am
dc pat:

and trouble delivers
  10:52am
BSI:

I love the world sometimes...
  10:53am
J-Mar:

Digging the Bread -- this is way better than "If" -- but I'm waiting to hear this morph into "Transmission"....
  10:54am
BSI:

Of course after a healthy dose of BREAD, I usually need a palate-cleanser like early Controlled Bleeding or Merzbow... all things in balance.
  10:57am
still b/p:

Merzbow...'member to mind the ears, BSI. No cranked cans.
  10:57am
david from ks.:

I saw David Gates play in the 70 somthings and i thiought he was a very good musician,especially that song about "have you seen me anywhere?"[or whatever it was called],,,call it bad stuff if you want ,but it was worth seeing.
  10:59am
Cecile:

I don't think it's bad at all.
It just strikes a nerve and kind of depresses me a lot. I guess that means it's doing what it's supposed to be doing.
  11:00am
Dead Corporate Eyes:

life isn't all kitties and sunshine
  11:01am
BSI:

Of course I've also had a very unhealthy fixation on old Bobby Vinton records for ages, so I'm clearly in need of prescription remedies...

and DCE, kitties make me sneeze, so even THEY are depressing. Always.
  11:01am
dc pat:

yeah wet dog!
  11:02am
Chris from DC:

And where else are you going to hear Bread and Glaxo Babies in the same set?
  11:03am
ffrr:

Hi Trouble, great cuts as usual today. Seang: I totally agree on the Nellie McKay comment. She must rub somebody the wrong way (understandable), but her Doris Day record is outstanding.
  11:03am
J-Mar:

Amen to that! It's why I love FMU!
  11:10am
ffrr:

Yes, 'El Cantante' was the LaVoe movie w/ Marc Anthony.
  11:11am
flank Steak:

Trouble, I love the Birds; How can I get me some?
  11:12am
seang:

Little Richard Rules! his authorized biography by Charles White is incredible too
  11:20am
Stuart Troutman:

Wow, I never knew Teresa Brewer recorded for Shelby Singleton.
  11:23am
trouble:

flank steak: I find most of my birds, usually audubon recordings or such, used at record shops or yard sales, but i have seen some on the wide world of web technology(mp3's)
  11:28am
Dead Corporate Eyes:

be DIY, record your own damn birds...it's easy and fun if you have a hand-held digirecorder!
  11:29am
Dickdong:

@ seang
A few years ago I ran a village post office near Scarborough, Yorkshire. Charles White was an occasional customer. My optician had his practice underneath Charles White's chiropody surgery. You could hear the garalous Irishman entertaining his customers as he was cutting their toenails and removing their verrucas whilst you were downstairs having your eyes tested.
  11:30am
listener stu:

Hi Trouble and all the "Troubled " people out there ! Is there anything more beautiful than May? I'll see if I can find some Finnish birds to send your way!
  11:33am
trouble:

hey stu! are you feeling the ash cloud?
  11:34am
listener stu:

No ash cloud here now, hoping for clear skies in July ! cheers!
  11:35am
seang:

ya gotta love sloths:
http://www.boingboing.net/2010/05/19/baby-sloths-in-sloth.html
at a job interview for California Pizza Kitchen, they asked me what animal I would like to be. I said a sloth. I did not get the job.
  11:42am
dc pat:

sloths are definitely cuter than eagles
  11:43am
Jennique:

I have to go with Seang on what animal to be. I personally would love to be a manatee and float my fat, bloated body in hot springs for my entire life.

I don't think that would get me a job either.

AND I went to a sloth farm in Costa Rica AND yes they are cuter than any newborn kitten or puppy any day of the week.
  11:44am
Francis:

With this unusual cold in the area I live, lots of small birds died :those who had just arrived from Africa :in particular,the house-martins who ,after their long tiring trip,haven't stand the test of cold.
  11:45am
dc pat:

sperm whale for me. I have this urge to dive really deep in the sea and eat gigantic squids.
  11:53am
miketp:

little beaver was a mdget wrestler in the 60s
  11:57am
Cecile:

YES.
The cars. That go boom!
  11:58am
Jennique:

WOWOW! I didn't know The Cars That Go Boom was set up for karaoke! Where can I get it! I want to sing it!

Go Liz! Go Liz!
  11:58am
Daniel:

Can't get enough of the boom. I think this version may beat L'Trimm!
  11:59am
Francis:

I have listened to many times this Bashung's song on radio (I haven't the record) ; I love this track with its strange incompréhensible word always repeated in the chorus : ouatsineubeurde , ouatsineubeurde ... Thanks Trouble to make me discover the real sentence : What's in a bird . Amazing !
  12:00pm
Alex:

@Jennique - this is from the last Marathon Hoof & Mouth Orchestra - I don't think there's a karaoke version
  12:00pm
Francis:

Tonight,I'm going to see again playing live ,a second time in three days,The Melted Men , an american/european (Athens/Amsterdam/Cologne) band.During their show,they mix freaking electronic tribal psychedelic/voodoo "carnival" music with "theater", a joking theater of cruelty, grotesque, macabre ;they wear and often change costumes,rev up a chainsaw by running all around the audience,cut sausages-fingers with a rats trap,fling very asphyxiating strange smokes,blow up a giant plastic snake (or maggot) who ends up recovering all the place and every spectator who is at the same time dazzled by an extremely heavy staccato white light. They told me they will send their all new vynil album to WFMU soon.
  8:53am
Greg Huneryager:

Listening to this a few days later so I can use the pop-up player and since you didn't mention it I thought I would point out that the song that Control played --- "por las viejas calles" -- is a Curved Air tune -- "Back Street Luv" on "Second Album."
  2:55am
becca wolfson:

I don't know you, but I love you. Thanks trouble.
