	♥ 9:04am listener james from westwood: Good Thursday, Trouble and all!
	♥ 9:04am karlward: "Attorney fees!" "Ooo baby!"
	♥ 9:04am Baja Joe: Nice start... Hello!
	9:05am Mike W: Hi Phillippe — sadly no! I am relying on my phone for the sounds that astound at the moment. I’m looking at a wifi-capable stereo receiver (recommended on twidder by a legacy FMUer no less) but my buying power is temporarily smooshed.
	♥ 9:05am Trouble: only marvin can make a killer song out of alimony problems
	9:05am Marco Esquandolas: Oh yeah, never have attorney fees sounded so sexy
	♥ 9:06am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Fun WFMU fact: When in the living room, we listen via the WoofMoo app, casting it to the tee vee, which is attached to the stereo. On my phone, the tee vee _always_ displays the graphic for the Date the Spazz show. When my wife does it, we get that 3D WFMU logo.
	♥ 9:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): "Dave"...duh.
	9:07am Marco Esquandolas: Marvin Gaye is from Lexington KY, which is where I am. He has a big family and I've met some of them that still live here.
	9:08am kevlicki: Good morning Trouble and all!
	9:08am wizard frog: 😳
	9:09am Mike W: “Date the Spazz” sounds like a failed 1970s precursor to The Bachelor
	9:09am Robm: Morning trouble and fellow troublemakers
	9:10am oshiwoshi: Is she melding gainsbourg + chakakas?
	9:10am Mike W: I’d like to have a dog named Sylvia, before my doings are all said and done here.
	9:10am Emily: Just love Sylvia! You made my day!
	♥ 9:10am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'd rather watch Date the Spazz than The Bachelor.
	9:11am TDK60: I had a dog named Sylvia a long time ago, Mike.
	♥ 9:11am Handy Haversack: Hey, Mike W.! Yes, we got out on the Hudson twice! Tuesday's was maybe a questionable decision -- it was so intensely hot. But still a nice time: a family of bald eagles, an osprey nest. A little cooler yesterday! We went out on the Hudson again, saw tons of great blue heron, a couple of osprey, and another bald eagle. Poorly Planned Paddle Trips: Tonight on Date the Spazz!
	9:12am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Afternoon Trouble and everyone. Have Sylvia by the Dutch band Focus on my mind now...
	9:12am Mike W: She was melding Gainsbourg and meringue, I believe. TDK here comes the most unnecessary question possible: was she good?
	♥ 9:12am Threemoons: Morning all....
	9:14am Levy Pants: @Mike W Thanks for the giggle.
	♥ 9:14am Phillippe: Sorry to hear that Mike. When the time to get a stereo rolls around, look at Keiid. I had one shipped to me by mistake and I couldn't arrange for a return because I didn't have an order number and couldn't get a person to talk to. Anyway, it sounds okay and I think the price was in the $60-$80 range had I actually had to pay for it. Cheaply built, though, so not sure what the lifespan is
	9:14am TDK60: Mike, yes. A friendly canine.
	♥ 9:15am Threemoons: Hey Handy--glad you got to go on the water! Have you ever used the kayaks out in LIC near the old LIC Flea? Forgot the exact location.
	♥ 9:16am Irene Trudel: Good morning Trouble and you Modern World-ers!
	♥ 9:18am Phillippe: Handy, the eagles around us disappear when the osprey come in. I saw one of each tussling over a white perch a few months back, and that was the last time I saw the eagle. He disappeared last summer as well
	♥ 9:22am Handy Haversack: They definitely like easy pickings, Phillippe! Threemoons, that's Long Island City Community Boathouse. They do their public programming in Hallets Cove in Astoria (by Socrates Sculpture Park). Their volunteers paddle up from LIC. I don't think they do public stuff out of the Annable Basin LIC location, but I might be wrong.
	♥ 9:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and trouble brewers!
	9:29am JT: i read “cold & beer” which is why i am going back to bed
	9:32am Levy Pants: I sure am glad your here DJ Trouble.
	9:32am βrian: Just in time for the oiseaux!
	♥ 9:36am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Trouble Pembroke? Nice. Much more downeast than me (not far from Bar Harbor). Really beautiful up there.
	9:37am Marco Esquandolas: This is very pretty
	9:37am bob: Rashid Ali birthday today
	9:38am yetibob: What perfect music to wake up to! Thanks, DJ.
	9:38am ?: Slinky
	♥ 9:39am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hello, Trouble and folx!
	♥ 9:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Fun fact: The national bird of Canada is the gray jay / geai gris and not the Canada goose / bernache du Canada.
	9:40am Erella: Oh YAY! I haven't been able to listen to this show in real time in a long time. So glad to be doing that now.
	♥ 9:41am Trouble: welcome @erella! good to see you!
	♥ 9:42am melinda: Morning everyone
	9:44am yetibob: I hadn't heard Amanda Whiting and clearly needed to. Right up my jazz-harp alley.
	9:46am ratso: good to be getting into trouble now that the morning meetings are over.
	9:49am Eric Kilkenny: Goooood Morning, Trouble!
	9:49am DSM: Fantastic
	♥ 9:51am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble! nice painting today!
	9:52am Eric Kilkenny: I second Webham Henry
	♥ 9:53am Phillippe: @KFHP the well-intentioned Maryland DNR decided to help out the Canada Goose population by introducing nesting pairs around the state. Rumor has it that they did not understand that the geese return to where they nested, not Canada, so now we are stuck with Canada Geese year round.
	♥ 9:56am Handy Haversack: They're in NYC year-round. I was getting nervous out here until I saw a few yesterday.
	♥ 9:57am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Since the geese know no political boundaries, they're here in on my island in the Salish Sea, too! The humans also like to pretend we're in Canada.
	9:59am βrian: I heard they've been "culling" Canada Geese here in Madison. No idea what method they're using.
	10:01am Marco Esquandolas: Mx Baba Bee - You live on an island in the Salish Sea?! That is freaking awesome!
	10:01am TDK60: Hi Mx Bee. You're up in the San Jose islands?
	10:02am DSM: Berrrrmp
	10:03am Glistener MW: those Stanley&Wiggs compilations are gold!
	♥ 10:04am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Marco Esquandolas: yes, I agree! TDK60: it's his cousin Juan's namesake, actually. :-)
	♥ 10:05am Phillippe: The geese wouldn't be so bad if they were potty trained...
	10:05am eddie de Grenoble: Penelope is pronounced penny lope over here, like the wife of former President under investigation for recieving a work free wage
	♥ 10:05am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Glistener MW: I am coming to an agreement on that, too. Gotta check out more!
	10:06am TDK60: Mx Bee: That's right, San Juan. I was never to the islands but nearby in Sequim, Washington. Awesome country up there.
	10:07am Eric Kilkenny: I luv me some San Juan great place to bike
	10:07am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: good afternoon from cologne. hi trouble and listeners worldwide …
	10:10am βrian: "Salish" is an onomatopoeia for something, though I'm not sure what.
	10:10am ?: night blossoms are so much nicer than fart blossoms
	♥ 10:10am Phillippe: This is melaine dalibert is stunning
	♥ 10:15am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hey Eric! Coller down in the Rose City now, I hope?
	♥ 10:16am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): βrian: I think it refers to the distinct sound of the waves lapping against the pebbly shores
	♥ 10:17am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Eric: Cooler. Er, Granny keeps fergetting to out on eir readers. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying this set so much, so lovely!
	♥ 10:18am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:23am Mike W: Good reminder on Rashied Ali’s birthday, thanks Bob. One of my best “I lived in New York” times was DJing at Tonic in the early-’00s, often seeing Rashied do a solo hit upstairs (midnight shows were common for a solo interstellar drummist). One night I stepped outside onto Norfolk Street to puff a dub cigarette and Rashied was parked across the street, doing likewise in his car. He waved me over and shared his joint and chatted. He was a good one.
	10:24am Mike W: ah Maurizio
	♥ 10:27am Krull Sagan: Just the Trouble I need this Thursday, great vibes & new finds
	10:31am Eric Kilkenny: @Baba Omg! Overcast now with a slight drizzle. Heaven compared to 116!
	♥ 10:31am Stevel: Trouble, you're reminding me of how much I love your Reggae Schoolroom fill-ins!
	10:32am davefromtoronto: i heard he met her at a stone soul picnic...
	♥ 10:35am Phin The Hyooman: Morning, Trouble! I feel like you were trying to pronounce it in your head like a Jamaican when you wrote, "reggae GREEATS strictly for lovers" :)
	♥ 10:40am Trouble: yah mann, @phin!
	10:46am The Butterman: I would have left the park after a few minutes. Punctuality is sexy.
	♥ 10:55am Trouble: Jason Stopa ( artists at top of accu page) has a show up at morgan lehman ( NYC) until july 31
	♥ 10:59am Yes: Syreeta !! hi all
	11:07am Levy Pants: You sound like your having a stroke DJ Trouble with all those funny sounds coming from your mouth. Let alone the panting! LOL
	11:08am Emily: "Ulysses" and "Shuggie Bain"
	11:08am duke: I just finished Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line. Brilliant but sad.
	11:09am Another Patrick from Hoboken: I've been reading Circe by Madeleine Miller and Penguin History of India Volume 1 by Romila Thapar
	11:09am peter in SEA: The Flame Throwers by Rachel Kushner. I’m late to it. It’s pretty damn good. But i’m only on p. 106
	11:09am sphere: hello. I am about 40 percent of the way through Samuel Delany's Dhalgren, which is as close as science fiction gets to Finnegan's Wake.
	♥ 11:09am tim from washington: How is Shuggie Bain, Emily?
	11:09am Pale Son: Just finished Ishiguro’s latest, Klara and the Sun. It was stellar, no pun intended, as usual.
	♥ 11:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Brian Eno's "A Year of Swollen Appendices" and Nelson Algren's "The Man With The Golden Arm"
	11:10am Levy Pants: Re-reading "Confederacy of Dunces" hence the use of "Levy Pants" as a name here.
	11:10am velvet frog: @Trouble, i finally ran into a copy of Milkman, Anna Burns, which I've had in the back of my mind from your recommendation years ago. I'm right in the middle of it and absolutely loving it.
	11:10am headcleaner: "Tropical Truth: A Story of Music and Revolution in Brazil", by Caetano Veloso
	11:11am Emily: Finished recently, "The Sympathizer" and "The Committed". Both good.Perhaps a little heavy on French Philosophy name dropping.
	♥ 11:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @peter in SEA: I loved The Flame Throwers. Read it a few weeks ago.
	11:12am peter in SEA: I love Ali Smith’s stories have been wanting to read the seasons novels :-) read Alice B Toklas last spring and while at the Barnes last week couldnt stop thinking Barnes must have visited Gertrude n Alice.
	11:12am kev: hi, would you please DJ my daughter's wedding in NH on 9/19 it's a great time of year,I'll put you up in a nice place with beautiful views of Mt Monadnock were you could read undisturbed for days. please
	11:12am Levy Pants: Just finished "The Final Judgement" 'The most banned book ever' it's about 20 years old now. Document of the JFK assassination. Wow.
	11:13am Pale Son: Oh, and Postcapitalist Desire, the final lectures of Mark Fisher. Incredibly mind-expanding and other-great-books-pointing.
	♥ 11:13am tim from washington: I'm halfway through 'Voss' by Patrick White. On deck I have 'The Testaments' by Margaret Atwood.
	11:15am TDK60: I'm reading "400 Souls, A Community History of African America, 1619-2019." editors, Ibram X. Kendi & Keisha N. Blain.
	11:15am peter in SEA: @woodsof nh: Nelson Algren! Never come morning is great too! And the bio of him great. He and Simone de Beauvoir!
	♥ 11:16am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @peter in SEA: It's sort of a tough go for me, but the writing is so danged good.
	♥ 11:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Say, anyone out there ever start a book and absolutely hate it....only to return later and have the opposite opinion? That happened to me not long ago. I started Eimear McBride's "The Lesser Bohemians" and found it incomprehensible. I set it aside but kept taking peeks here and then...and then began to love the odd, angular way she constructed sentences.
	11:19am βrian: No, but I have gotten more than half way through a book before realizing that I'd already read it.
	♥ 11:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @βrian: Oh, I've done that too!
	11:20am Pale Son: Maybe Moby Dick? I’ve more often had the opposite experience, unfortunately.
	11:21am Levy Pants: @Woods I've read and abandoned various James Joyce novels. I admire the artistic achievement but have trouble with them.
	11:21am peter in SEA: @woodsofnh: yes, forced to read Frankenstein in 1st yr college-Couldnt finish it. Came back later— LOVE MWS now. Just read The Last Man, so brilliant!
	♥ 11:22am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I've read the first 5 pages of Ulysses about ten times.
	11:23am Hubig Pie: Woods of NH, you stole my planned comment
	11:24am Levy Pants: @Woods....you too!? LOL
	♥ 11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Ulysses for Dummies: www.yogaliecht.ch...
	11:25am JT: read ulysses with the harry blamires book (the bloomsday book) at your side
	♥ 11:26am chris_in_space: Heck of a show today @Trouble.
	11:26am peter in SEA: Stately plump Buck Mulligan...Get past that first Stephen section and into Bloom’s story and you’ll be hooked :-)
	11:27am peter in SEA: @JT! Yes, exactly!
	♥ 11:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): "Why don't you write books people can read?" - Nora Joyce, wife of James Joyce
	♥ 11:30am Trouble: @velvet frog: o good! one of my all time faves! @ kev: while i am honored at this fabulous offer i don't think the wedding crowd would really want what i play. weddings are tough.
	11:32am Marco Esquandolas: @WoodsofNH - me too with Ulysses. And also with Gravity's Rainbow. Also, thanks for that link.
	11:32am Levy Pants: DJ Trouble, considering 50% end in divorce there should be a good market of Divorce Ceremony DJ's. That would probably be a whole lot more fun and easier crowd.
	♥ 11:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Marco: I did read Gravity's Rainbow. Somebody asked me what it was about and I said it was about 650 pages.
	11:33am oshiwoshi: +1 weddings are tough unless you are psychic
	11:34am Marco Esquandolas: @Woods hahaha. Was it worth the time investment getting through the whole book?
	♥ 11:36am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Marco: I think so. Partly because there were bits of it that were so danged weird. Pynchon was really good at dropping a plot line only to pick it up 200 pages later. I read it a long time ago so I don't know if I'd be up for it again.
	11:36am TDK60: Next up for me: A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. A previous executive said /not/ to read Zinn, so I thought I'd better..
	11:36am Levy Pants: @ you sold me on Gravity's Rainbow. Just downloaded the PDF. Not my usual fare, but I do love me a challenge (except for that ever-challenging Joyce) :)
	11:37am JT: i wonder how gravity's rainbow will hold up over time. not a huge fan after a re-read a few years ago.
	♥ 11:37am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Somebody sold me on Infinite Jest. I made it through about 200 pages and gave up. That guy had talent but it just wasn't for me.
	11:38am wizard frog: such a great album this
	11:39am Levy Pants: @Woods Now you're just trying to drag me into a black hole of endless-endless novels LOL One clunker at a time please. :)
	11:39am ChukAmok: @TDK60 What was the reason given to avoid reading Zinn, if any? Just curious.
	♥ 11:40am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @ChukAmok: It doesn't genuflect at the alter of white-washed American history.
	11:41am Emily: Ulysses is difficult. I'm listening to it. Have a hard copy and the annotations. This is a first time so I'm just letting it flow over me without really knowing all of the background stuff. I love all of the mystical Catholic and Irish stuff. Also love this Mdou Moctar.
	11:41am Levy Pants: Zinn had a habit of exposing hypocrisy in political reality...not a good habit in business. You don't want the pleb workers getting any "ideas"
	11:42am Hubig Pie: Having spent a year at the DLI studying Arabic/Egyptian, I know that ya habibiti is hello my love. And Tire-on murwahi folk al-mintuka means helicopters are flying over our sector
	11:42am ChukAmok: @Woods That's the reason to read Zinn! Though I am admittedly not caught up on the latest edition of 'A People's History'.
	11:43am TDK60: Chuk: I forget if I listened for a "reason"! I was so amused and outraged at the same time that I made my way to a bookstore..
	11:45am Levy Pants: DJ Trouble, I haven't had a TV in over ten years. That has given me extra time (mostly time spent wishing I had a TV to watch).
	11:45am still b/p: "At the 'alter,'" -- nice, intentional or not. On weighty reading: Jack Warner, of Warner Bros. studio, to director Mervyn Leroy, on whether he'd gotten around to reading "Anthony Adverse." "Read it? I can't even lift it!"
	11:47am ChukAmok: TDK I was curious if maybe it was something more carefully reasoned than Woods' astute example. Guess I'm still a bit naïve at times, and curious for arguments sake.
	♥ 11:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @still b/p: Dang it! I wish that had been intentional.
	11:48am peter in SEA: Another jewel: David Markson! Start with Wittgenstein’s Mistress and then tumble into the This is Not a Novel trilogy.
	♥ 11:48am PMD: to jump into the book discussion, I've owned a copy of Under the Volcano for at least 30 years and have NEVER been able to get past the first couple pages. I keep hoping though
	11:50am kev: @Trouble it's not that kind of crowd you tunes would be perfect
	♥ 11:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @kev That area of NH is super-chill (I used to live there...really miss Peterborough)
	11:54am peter in SEA: @Trouble: lovely soundtrack as I cut up the first pineapple of the season! :-) Hope you’re starting to slough of the skin of the schoolyear!
	♥ 11:54am Phillippe: <3 Angel Olsen
	♥ 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 11:55am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! We're off even farther north to get some cider. See you later, everyone!
	♥ 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Happy Fourth! 🧨
	♥ 11:56am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning! see you next week when i will have completed another year around the sun
	♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: (I have read Infinite Jest six times! Love it so much.)
	♥ 11:56am DjLorraine: I'm glad i tuned in today. Thank you Trouble and fellow listeners
	11:57am sphere: woot trouble :)
	11:57am JT: thank you as always dj trouble
	♥ 11:57am Yes: lovely show, trouble. thank you
	♥ 11:58am Phillippe: @WoodsofNH @11:32 I was watching a sketch about some women in a book club and one woman asked "so where did you like it in particular?" and she responded with "Instagram and Facebook"
	11:58am eric from lake hiawatha: What a voice! Karen Dalton thank you
	♥ 11:58am PMD: This reminds me of the RI singer... forget her name... who did a schoolhouse rock song
	♥ 11:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Phillippe: Ha!
	11:59am TDK60: No, stuck in city. Thanks, Trouble.
	11:59am yippie: yes going upstate this weekend

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.

Listener comments!
	♥ 9:00am Handy Haversack: Good rainy Thursday morning from the woods, Trouble and all the Troubled.
	♥ 9:01am Phillippe: Hey everyone! Hey Handy!
	9:01am Dances with Moomins: Good Morning New Jersey and the whole wide modern world. Hi Trouble! Nice and sunny in Finland this afternoon!
	9:02am Mike W: Good still steamin’ stinkin’ hot day from the mid-Atlantic floodplains. I am so troubled in this life.
	♥ 9:02am Trouble: goooood thursday morning to all!
	9:02am Mike W: Handy did you all get some good paddling in this week before whatever weather fell?
	♥ 9:02am karlward: Too steamy for this, Marvin!
	♥ 9:03am Phillippe: Hey Mike W, were you able to solve your streaming issues?
	9:03am Levy Pants: Good Morning to Marvin Gaye DJ This Is The Modern World with Trouble
	9:04am TDK60: Good morning Trouble.
	♥ 9:04am listener james from westwood: Good Thursday, Trouble and all!
	♥ 9:04am karlward: "Attorney fees!" "Ooo baby!"
	♥ 9:04am Baja Joe: Nice start... Hello!
	9:05am Mike W: Hi Phillippe — sadly no! I am relying on my phone for the sounds that astound at the moment. I’m looking at a wifi-capable stereo receiver (recommended on twidder by a legacy FMUer no less) but my buying power is temporarily smooshed.
	♥ 9:05am Trouble: only marvin can make a killer song out of alimony problems
	9:05am Marco Esquandolas: Oh yeah, never have attorney fees sounded so sexy
	♥ 9:06am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Fun WFMU fact: When in the living room, we listen via the WoofMoo app, casting it to the tee vee, which is attached to the stereo. On my phone, the tee vee _always_ displays the graphic for the Date the Spazz show. When my wife does it, we get that 3D WFMU logo.
	♥ 9:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): "Dave"...duh.
	9:07am Marco Esquandolas: Marvin Gaye is from Lexington KY, which is where I am. He has a big family and I've met some of them that still live here.
	9:08am kevlicki: Good morning Trouble and all!
	9:08am wizard frog: 😳
	9:09am Mike W: “Date the Spazz” sounds like a failed 1970s precursor to The Bachelor
	9:09am Robm: Morning trouble and fellow troublemakers
	9:10am oshiwoshi: Is she melding gainsbourg + chakakas?
	9:10am Mike W: I’d like to have a dog named Sylvia, before my doings are all said and done here.
	9:10am Emily: Just love Sylvia! You made my day!
	♥ 9:10am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'd rather watch Date the Spazz than The Bachelor.
	9:11am TDK60: I had a dog named Sylvia a long time ago, Mike.
	♥ 9:11am Handy Haversack: Hey, Mike W.! Yes, we got out on the Hudson twice! Tuesday's was maybe a questionable decision -- it was so intensely hot. But still a nice time: a family of bald eagles, an osprey nest. A little cooler yesterday! We went out on the Hudson again, saw tons of great blue heron, a couple of osprey, and another bald eagle. Poorly Planned Paddle Trips: Tonight on Date the Spazz!
	9:12am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Afternoon Trouble and everyone. Have Sylvia by the Dutch band Focus on my mind now...
	9:12am Mike W: She was melding Gainsbourg and meringue, I believe. TDK here comes the most unnecessary question possible: was she good?
	♥ 9:12am Threemoons: Morning all....
	9:14am Levy Pants: @Mike W Thanks for the giggle.
	♥ 9:14am Phillippe: Sorry to hear that Mike. When the time to get a stereo rolls around, look at Keiid. I had one shipped to me by mistake and I couldn't arrange for a return because I didn't have an order number and couldn't get a person to talk to. Anyway, it sounds okay and I think the price was in the $60-$80 range had I actually had to pay for it. Cheaply built, though, so not sure what the lifespan is
	9:14am TDK60: Mike, yes. A friendly canine.
	♥ 9:15am Threemoons: Hey Handy--glad you got to go on the water! Have you ever used the kayaks out in LIC near the old LIC Flea? Forgot the exact location.
	♥ 9:16am Irene Trudel: Good morning Trouble and you Modern World-ers!
	♥ 9:18am Phillippe: Handy, the eagles around us disappear when the osprey come in. I saw one of each tussling over a white perch a few months back, and that was the last time I saw the eagle. He disappeared last summer as well
	♥ 9:22am Handy Haversack: They definitely like easy pickings, Phillippe! Threemoons, that's Long Island City Community Boathouse. They do their public programming in Hallets Cove in Astoria (by Socrates Sculpture Park). Their volunteers paddle up from LIC. I don't think they do public stuff out of the Annable Basin LIC location, but I might be wrong.
	♥ 9:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and trouble brewers!
	9:29am JT: i read “cold & beer” which is why i am going back to bed
	9:32am Levy Pants: I sure am glad your here DJ Trouble.
	9:32am βrian: Just in time for the oiseaux!
	♥ 9:36am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Trouble Pembroke? Nice. Much more downeast than me (not far from Bar Harbor). Really beautiful up there.
	9:37am Marco Esquandolas: This is very pretty
	9:37am bob: Rashid Ali birthday today
	9:38am yetibob: What perfect music to wake up to! Thanks, DJ.
	9:38am ?: Slinky
	♥ 9:39am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hello, Trouble and folx!
	♥ 9:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Fun fact: The national bird of Canada is the gray jay / geai gris and not the Canada goose / bernache du Canada.
	9:40am Erella: Oh YAY! I haven't been able to listen to this show in real time in a long time. So glad to be doing that now.
	♥ 9:41am Trouble: welcome @erella! good to see you!
	♥ 9:42am melinda: Morning everyone
	9:44am yetibob: I hadn't heard Amanda Whiting and clearly needed to. Right up my jazz-harp alley.
	9:46am ratso: good to be getting into trouble now that the morning meetings are over.
	9:49am Eric Kilkenny: Goooood Morning, Trouble!
	9:49am DSM: Fantastic
	♥ 9:51am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble! nice painting today!
	9:52am Eric Kilkenny: I second Webham Henry
	♥ 9:53am Phillippe: @KFHP the well-intentioned Maryland DNR decided to help out the Canada Goose population by introducing nesting pairs around the state. Rumor has it that they did not understand that the geese return to where they nested, not Canada, so now we are stuck with Canada Geese year round.
	♥ 9:56am Handy Haversack: They're in NYC year-round. I was getting nervous out here until I saw a few yesterday.
	♥ 9:57am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Since the geese know no political boundaries, they're here in on my island in the Salish Sea, too! The humans also like to pretend we're in Canada.
	9:59am βrian: I heard they've been "culling" Canada Geese here in Madison. No idea what method they're using.
	10:01am Marco Esquandolas: Mx Baba Bee - You live on an island in the Salish Sea?! That is freaking awesome!
	10:01am TDK60: Hi Mx Bee. You're up in the San Jose islands?
	10:02am DSM: Berrrrmp
	10:03am Glistener MW: those Stanley&Wiggs compilations are gold!
	♥ 10:04am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Marco Esquandolas: yes, I agree! TDK60: it's his cousin Juan's namesake, actually. :-)
	♥ 10:05am Phillippe: The geese wouldn't be so bad if they were potty trained...
	10:05am eddie de Grenoble: Penelope is pronounced penny lope over here, like the wife of former President under investigation for recieving a work free wage
	♥ 10:05am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Glistener MW: I am coming to an agreement on that, too. Gotta check out more!
	10:06am TDK60: Mx Bee: That's right, San Juan. I was never to the islands but nearby in Sequim, Washington. Awesome country up there.
	10:07am Eric Kilkenny: I luv me some San Juan great place to bike
	10:07am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: good afternoon from cologne. hi trouble and listeners worldwide …
	10:10am βrian: "Salish" is an onomatopoeia for something, though I'm not sure what.
	10:10am ?: night blossoms are so much nicer than fart blossoms
	♥ 10:10am Phillippe: This is melaine dalibert is stunning
	♥ 10:15am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hey Eric! Coller down in the Rose City now, I hope?
	♥ 10:16am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): βrian: I think it refers to the distinct sound of the waves lapping against the pebbly shores
	♥ 10:17am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Eric: Cooler. Er, Granny keeps fergetting to out on eir readers. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying this set so much, so lovely!
	♥ 10:18am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:23am Mike W: Good reminder on Rashied Ali’s birthday, thanks Bob. One of my best “I lived in New York” times was DJing at Tonic in the early-’00s, often seeing Rashied do a solo hit upstairs (midnight shows were common for a solo interstellar drummist). One night I stepped outside onto Norfolk Street to puff a dub cigarette and Rashied was parked across the street, doing likewise in his car. He waved me over and shared his joint and chatted. He was a good one.
	10:24am Mike W: ah Maurizio
	♥ 10:27am Krull Sagan: Just the Trouble I need this Thursday, great vibes & new finds
	10:31am Eric Kilkenny: @Baba Omg! Overcast now with a slight drizzle. Heaven compared to 116!
	♥ 10:31am Stevel: Trouble, you're reminding me of how much I love your Reggae Schoolroom fill-ins!
	10:32am davefromtoronto: i heard he met her at a stone soul picnic...
	♥ 10:35am Phin The Hyooman: Morning, Trouble! I feel like you were trying to pronounce it in your head like a Jamaican when you wrote, "reggae GREEATS strictly for lovers" :)
	♥ 10:40am Trouble: yah mann, @phin!
	10:46am The Butterman: I would have left the park after a few minutes. Punctuality is sexy.
	♥ 10:55am Trouble: Jason Stopa ( artists at top of accu page) has a show up at morgan lehman ( NYC) until july 31
	♥ 10:59am Yes: Syreeta !! hi all
	11:07am Levy Pants: You sound like your having a stroke DJ Trouble with all those funny sounds coming from your mouth. Let alone the panting! LOL
	11:08am Emily: "Ulysses" and "Shuggie Bain"
	11:08am duke: I just finished Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line. Brilliant but sad.
	11:09am Another Patrick from Hoboken: I've been reading Circe by Madeleine Miller and Penguin History of India Volume 1 by Romila Thapar
	11:09am peter in SEA: The Flame Throwers by Rachel Kushner. I’m late to it. It’s pretty damn good. But i’m only on p. 106
	11:09am sphere: hello. I am about 40 percent of the way through Samuel Delany's Dhalgren, which is as close as science fiction gets to Finnegan's Wake.
	♥ 11:09am tim from washington: How is Shuggie Bain, Emily?
	11:09am Pale Son: Just finished Ishiguro’s latest, Klara and the Sun. It was stellar, no pun intended, as usual.
	♥ 11:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Brian Eno's "A Year of Swollen Appendices" and Nelson Algren's "The Man With The Golden Arm"
	11:10am Levy Pants: Re-reading "Confederacy of Dunces" hence the use of "Levy Pants" as a name here.
	11:10am velvet frog: @Trouble, i finally ran into a copy of Milkman, Anna Burns, which I've had in the back of my mind from your recommendation years ago. I'm right in the middle of it and absolutely loving it.
	11:10am headcleaner: "Tropical Truth: A Story of Music and Revolution in Brazil", by Caetano Veloso
	11:11am Emily: Finished recently, "The Sympathizer" and "The Committed". Both good.Perhaps a little heavy on French Philosophy name dropping.
	♥ 11:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @peter in SEA: I loved The Flame Throwers. Read it a few weeks ago.
	11:12am peter in SEA: I love Ali Smith’s stories have been wanting to read the seasons novels :-) read Alice B Toklas last spring and while at the Barnes last week couldnt stop thinking Barnes must have visited Gertrude n Alice.
	11:12am kev: hi, would you please DJ my daughter's wedding in NH on 9/19 it's a great time of year,I'll put you up in a nice place with beautiful views of Mt Monadnock were you could read undisturbed for days. please
	11:12am Levy Pants: Just finished "The Final Judgement" 'The most banned book ever' it's about 20 years old now. Document of the JFK assassination. Wow.
	11:13am Pale Son: Oh, and Postcapitalist Desire, the final lectures of Mark Fisher. Incredibly mind-expanding and other-great-books-pointing.
	♥ 11:13am tim from washington: I'm halfway through 'Voss' by Patrick White. On deck I have 'The Testaments' by Margaret Atwood.
	11:15am TDK60: I'm reading "400 Souls, A Community History of African America, 1619-2019." editors, Ibram X. Kendi & Keisha N. Blain.
	11:15am peter in SEA: @woodsof nh: Nelson Algren! Never come morning is great too! And the bio of him great. He and Simone de Beauvoir!
	♥ 11:16am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @peter in SEA: It's sort of a tough go for me, but the writing is so danged good.
	♥ 11:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Say, anyone out there ever start a book and absolutely hate it....only to return later and have the opposite opinion? That happened to me not long ago. I started Eimear McBride's "The Lesser Bohemians" and found it incomprehensible. I set it aside but kept taking peeks here and then...and then began to love the odd, angular way she constructed sentences.
	11:19am βrian: No, but I have gotten more than half way through a book before realizing that I'd already read it.
	♥ 11:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @βrian: Oh, I've done that too!
	11:20am Pale Son: Maybe Moby Dick? I’ve more often had the opposite experience, unfortunately.
	11:21am Levy Pants: @Woods I've read and abandoned various James Joyce novels. I admire the artistic achievement but have trouble with them.
	11:21am peter in SEA: @woodsofnh: yes, forced to read Frankenstein in 1st yr college-Couldnt finish it. Came back later— LOVE MWS now. Just read The Last Man, so brilliant!
	♥ 11:22am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I've read the first 5 pages of Ulysses about ten times.
	11:23am Hubig Pie: Woods of NH, you stole my planned comment
	11:24am Levy Pants: @Woods....you too!? LOL
	♥ 11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Ulysses for Dummies: www.yogaliecht.ch...
	11:25am JT: read ulysses with the harry blamires book (the bloomsday book) at your side
	♥ 11:26am chris_in_space: Heck of a show today @Trouble.
	11:26am peter in SEA: Stately plump Buck Mulligan...Get past that first Stephen section and into Bloom’s story and you’ll be hooked :-)
	11:27am peter in SEA: @JT! Yes, exactly!
	♥ 11:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): "Why don't you write books people can read?" - Nora Joyce, wife of James Joyce
	♥ 11:30am Trouble: @velvet frog: o good! one of my all time faves! @ kev: while i am honored at this fabulous offer i don't think the wedding crowd would really want what i play. weddings are tough.
	11:32am Marco Esquandolas: @WoodsofNH - me too with Ulysses. And also with Gravity's Rainbow. Also, thanks for that link.
	11:32am Levy Pants: DJ Trouble, considering 50% end in divorce there should be a good market of Divorce Ceremony DJ's. That would probably be a whole lot more fun and easier crowd.
	♥ 11:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Marco: I did read Gravity's Rainbow. Somebody asked me what it was about and I said it was about 650 pages.
	11:33am oshiwoshi: +1 weddings are tough unless you are psychic
	11:34am Marco Esquandolas: @Woods hahaha. Was it worth the time investment getting through the whole book?
	♥ 11:36am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Marco: I think so. Partly because there were bits of it that were so danged weird. Pynchon was really good at dropping a plot line only to pick it up 200 pages later. I read it a long time ago so I don't know if I'd be up for it again.
	11:36am TDK60: Next up for me: A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. A previous executive said /not/ to read Zinn, so I thought I'd better..
	11:36am Levy Pants: @ you sold me on Gravity's Rainbow. Just downloaded the PDF. Not my usual fare, but I do love me a challenge (except for that ever-challenging Joyce) :)
	11:37am JT: i wonder how gravity's rainbow will hold up over time. not a huge fan after a re-read a few years ago.
	♥ 11:37am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Somebody sold me on Infinite Jest. I made it through about 200 pages and gave up. That guy had talent but it just wasn't for me.
	11:38am wizard frog: such a great album this
	11:39am Levy Pants: @Woods Now you're just trying to drag me into a black hole of endless-endless novels LOL One clunker at a time please. :)
	11:39am ChukAmok: @TDK60 What was the reason given to avoid reading Zinn, if any? Just curious.
	♥ 11:40am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @ChukAmok: It doesn't genuflect at the alter of white-washed American history.
	11:41am Emily: Ulysses is difficult. I'm listening to it. Have a hard copy and the annotations. This is a first time so I'm just letting it flow over me without really knowing all of the background stuff. I love all of the mystical Catholic and Irish stuff. Also love this Mdou Moctar.
	11:41am Levy Pants: Zinn had a habit of exposing hypocrisy in political reality...not a good habit in business. You don't want the pleb workers getting any "ideas"
	11:42am Hubig Pie: Having spent a year at the DLI studying Arabic/Egyptian, I know that ya habibiti is hello my love. And Tire-on murwahi folk al-mintuka means helicopters are flying over our sector
	11:42am ChukAmok: @Woods That's the reason to read Zinn! Though I am admittedly not caught up on the latest edition of 'A People's History'.
	11:43am TDK60: Chuk: I forget if I listened for a "reason"! I was so amused and outraged at the same time that I made my way to a bookstore..
	11:45am Levy Pants: DJ Trouble, I haven't had a TV in over ten years. That has given me extra time (mostly time spent wishing I had a TV to watch).
	11:45am still b/p: "At the 'alter,'" -- nice, intentional or not. On weighty reading: Jack Warner, of Warner Bros. studio, to director Mervyn Leroy, on whether he'd gotten around to reading "Anthony Adverse." "Read it? I can't even lift it!"
	11:47am ChukAmok: TDK I was curious if maybe it was something more carefully reasoned than Woods' astute example. Guess I'm still a bit naïve at times, and curious for arguments sake.
	♥ 11:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @still b/p: Dang it! I wish that had been intentional.
	11:48am peter in SEA: Another jewel: David Markson! Start with Wittgenstein’s Mistress and then tumble into the This is Not a Novel trilogy.
	♥ 11:48am PMD: to jump into the book discussion, I've owned a copy of Under the Volcano for at least 30 years and have NEVER been able to get past the first couple pages. I keep hoping though
	11:50am kev: @Trouble it's not that kind of crowd you tunes would be perfect
	♥ 11:52am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @kev That area of NH is super-chill (I used to live there...really miss Peterborough)
	11:54am peter in SEA: @Trouble: lovely soundtrack as I cut up the first pineapple of the season! :-) Hope you’re starting to slough of the skin of the schoolyear!
	♥ 11:54am Phillippe: <3 Angel Olsen
	♥ 11:54am 12539: Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 11:55am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! We're off even farther north to get some cider. See you later, everyone!
	♥ 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Happy Fourth! 🧨
	♥ 11:56am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning! see you next week when i will have completed another year around the sun
	♥ 11:56am Handy Haversack: (I have read Infinite Jest six times! Love it so much.)
	♥ 11:56am DjLorraine: I'm glad i tuned in today. Thank you Trouble and fellow listeners
	11:57am sphere: woot trouble :)
	11:57am JT: thank you as always dj trouble
	♥ 11:57am Yes: lovely show, trouble. thank you
	♥ 11:58am Phillippe: @WoodsofNH @11:32 I was watching a sketch about some women in a book club and one woman asked "so where did you like it in particular?" and she responded with "Instagram and Facebook"
	11:58am eric from lake hiawatha: What a voice! Karen Dalton thank you
	♥ 11:58am PMD: This reminds me of the RI singer... forget her name... who did a schoolhouse rock song
	♥ 11:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Phillippe: Ha!
	11:59am TDK60: No, stuck in city. Thanks, Trouble.
	11:59am yippie: yes going upstate this weekend
