	9:03am headcleaner: bon matin, mes amis
	9:03am Undead83: Awesome rendering for 'O Som do Silêncio' as an opening track ^^
	♥ 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and troublesome sorts!
	♥ 9:05am Handy Haversack: Yeah, that was a heck of a start, happymaan! Hi, Irene. I am particularly looking forward to today's chapter of Park Hard: An Alternate-Side Story. They are paving our block and already towed a bunch of cars off it, which means all other spots in the neighborhood will be at a premium. (And it means I won't be able to get the spot in front of the bldg. and pick up Continental Subway on the Bluetooth speaker, consarnit!)
	9:06am KWilde: Bonjour a tous!
	♥ 9:06am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): greetings, Trouble and WFMU folx!
	9:07am John from Madison: Hello
	9:08am winston legthigh: mornin trouble, trouble doer's.
	♥ 9:08am Trouble: mon dieu, catastrophe city here today. bonjour!
	9:09am winston legthigh: mecca lecca hi mecca hiney ho @mx baba bee.
	9:10am headcleaner: tout va bien, Trouble
	9:10am βrian: Cool music for a cool day. Merci pour le Piaf.
	♥ 9:10am mndave: turning this one up for my petit chien who is named after EP!
	9:11am Irene: Hey Handy! Sweeper just went through. Now I have to sit in the car till 10am. A shame that I have to use the car this afternoon and find new parking. The challenge for the next few days— one whole street has no parking Sunday, and my own street has a film crew settling in next Tuesday and Wednesday. 😾
	9:13am Irene: Nice Francophone tone this morning, Trouble!
	♥ 9:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Man, I just can't imagine having parking problems like these. My biggest issue is to not park too close to the 2 cord stack of firewood that's drying in the driveway. ;-)
	♥ 9:14am Handy Haversack: Ha, Irene, yup -- math checks out!
	9:14am βrian: Francophoning it in.
	9:14am Listener Gregory: Happy upcoming "Be Still" day to all the autocorrects!
	♥ 9:14am Threemoons: Hey, HH, Irene...sorry re parking woes...
	9:14am pocket vito: Hi trouble, I love this snappy french jazz.
	9:14am Irene: Woods, that makes me long for the suburbs!
	♥ 9:15am Trouble: it seems a long way away but bastille day is next week so i thought i would get a jump on it...
	♥ 9:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Irene: On the Maine coast we have parking problems, but only if we go into Bar Harbor during tourist season.
	♥ 9:16am Pale Son: Salut, tout le monde!
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: Hey, Threemoons! Hope you're hanging in.
	♥ 9:17am Threemoons: @HH thank you. Trying my best. Still very much touch and go/up in the air with Mom...
	9:17am sugarwolf: Happy Belated Birthday Trouble and Happy early Bastille Day everyone!
	♥ 9:18am Threemoons: Ducking out for a sec--gotta brush teeth, comb hair, and start day...
	9:18am Irene: Threemoons, it’s the penalty for wanting to own a car in NYC. Last night I just retrieved my car from my brother’s NJ house where I left it for the past month. I wish we had a residential parking permit to make it slightly easier.
	♥ 9:19am Ken From Hyde Park: That reminds me — Tour de France stage 12 is airing now. Good luck to you and your dear mother, Threemoons.
	9:20am Irene: Threemoons,sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope all goes well.
	♥ 9:21am Handy Haversack: Irene, we got out of town last week to the Hudson River Valley / Catskills, which made it all seem worthwhile. (We even got to meet up with Ken From Hyde Park!)
	9:21am hendrix wolfbat: Alors vous etez un une mode tres Francaise au jour d’hui!
	9:21am waters7: I’ve been waiting for your Bastille Fest for seemingly ages!
	9:22am βrian: J'attends mon café.
	♥ 9:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, it was nice to crawl out from under the metaphorical rock and get out to see some humans, Handy.
	9:26am sugarwolf: I love “Comme un boomerang” so much
	9:26am Irene: Sounds nice, Handy and Ken!
	♥ 9:27am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): digging this set as I pack to drive south allllll day!
	9:27am Rich in Bristol: "Il y a un maison en New Orleans que s'appelle The Rising Sun!"
	9:29am headcleaner: @sugarwolf - yep - it's one of those songs that just keeps coming back at you, we might say
	♥ 9:30am Trouble: bonjour sugarwolf! et emily!
	9:33am YETI BOB: Greetings from Chicago where it's unexpectedly cool (63°F) this morning
	9:33am pocket vito: Ken recently played an incredible French version of Toxic by Isia Marie. It's so beautiful.
	9:34am GiB: the sounds of freedom!
	♥ 9:34am Handy Haversack: Wow, that sounds nice, YB!
	♥ 9:35am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Nice! 61 here. Feels so good after that stint of camel's nutsack heat.
	9:36am βrian: Grâce à la générosité de ma bien-aimée, le café est arrivé !
	♥ 9:37am Threemoons: Trouble: Maybe some Ute Lemper to balance out the continent?
	9:37am Andres: Sacre bleu! Now I need a croissant.
	9:38am Listener Gregory: Not enough DJs ever say "Lordy." Thank you, Trouble.
	9:39am pocket vito: Lordy! L'ordi est en panne!
	♥ 9:39am Handy Haversack: Vite! Vite!
	9:40am davefromtoronto: french pop music is tres etrange...
	9:41am Listener Gregory: That is a useful phrase, @pocket vito.
	9:45am βrian: 58 degrees and overcast on the isthmus. Really lovely.
	9:46am oshiwoshi: Bastille day always fell on the last day of school - Vive la Revolution!
	9:47am βrian: Quelle belle diction ! Je connais pas Berry.
	9:47am pocket vito: 26 degrés Celsius ici
	9:48am Rich in Bristol: This berry track is a lovely bit of business.
	♥ 9:49am Handy Haversack: No relief in sight here, it seems. Saturday looks OK. Low eighties. I'll be outside most of the day, so I'll take it as a win. Moi non plus, mais je l'ai clicky-starré.
	9:50am sphere: I have not ever thought that "French dub" exists, but of course it does!
	9:50am joseloalter: Good morning, friends! Saying hi from Asturias in Northern Spain, right in the middle of nowhere. The only thing I was missing was wfmu, but today our router arrived in the mail. Yay! Lovely session Trouble!! Thank you.
	9:52am pocket vito: That's awesome josé!
	9:53am joseloalter: Thanks, pocket vito! Real nice to be here too. Here with you guys that is.
	9:55am Irene: Nice that you can join us, jose!
	9:57am E: The "passing breeze feat anna jean" is the song and the artist is Splash Wave FYI
	9:57am βrian: My dictionary says the the word "dub" traces back to Old French" adober" : ‘equip with armor’
	9:58am joseloalter: Yes, thanks Irene!
	9:58am Gregoa: Super plus musique-) <3
	♥ 10:00am Lee B: bon anniversaire, Trouble!!
	10:02am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: happy belated Bday…
	♥ 10:02am Pale Son: Oh, happy birthday!
	♥ 10:02am Handy Haversack: Happy birthday, Trouble!
	10:02am joseloalter: Happy belated Birthday!!!
	♥ 10:03am Handy Haversack: Windows machine? ALT+0233 on the number keypad.
	10:03am Susan: Happy Birthday fellow cancerian! I’m on the 2nd & so is Debbie Harry!
	10:03am UncleMarty: Happy early BDay for 2022
	10:03am hendrix wolfbat: Bonne anniversaire Trouble! C'est le anniversaire de ma meilleure amie Tanya le 11 de juliet.
	10:06am βrian: Hah, I just got a response to my Happy Birthday missive to an old friend. July 8 was a busy day. Bonne Anniversaire, Trouble.
	10:07am ChukAmok: Happy birthday Trouble!
	♥ 10:11am JohnEBGood: GM DJTrouble. Celebrating a Stanley Cup repeat here in Central Florida. Happy Birthday 🎈🏒
	10:15am davefromtoronto: my wife and i went camping years ago in quebec and EVERYONE at the campsite was blasting the song du jour called 'Dur Dur D'etre Bebe" - it drove us crazy!
	10:19am KWilde: Oui!
	♥ 10:20am Threemoons: Trouble--🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🥂🎉✨
	10:20am waters7: Dying here. Love you Trouble!
	♥ 10:21am Jason from Houston: Good morning, good folks.
	10:21am TerrDE: Brian todays the 8 . You're ahead a day or in Asia
	♥ 10:22am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Bondie?
	10:22am joseloalter: Same here, Jason. Amazing. Thank you, Trouble! ♥️♥️♥️
	10:23am headcleaner: camping in Quebec sounds like a très belle idée nonetheless, @davefromtoronto
	10:23am pocket vito: I was listening to the radio in Quebec and they had weird versions of American pop songs that were half English half French. I remember listening to "Ooh, I wanna dance with somebody, jusqu'a la fin de la nuit, fais-moi dancer" etc.
	♥ 10:24am Handy Haversack: They gave their one "l" to Michele, Woods. I have to head out to do my Community Water Quality Sampling and then sit in the car, but I'll be listening to the last hour there. Merci, Trouble! A bientôt à tous!
	10:26am sphere: @ pocket vito - I think Montreal has some sort of requirement that a certain amount of radio must be in French, maybe that's how they do it.
	10:27am sphere: Sorry, I meant Quebec.
	10:27am pocket vito: Indeed they do!
	10:27am sugarwolf: I am sort of considering planning a trip to Paris 2028 for the Gainsbourg centennial.
	10:27am pocket vito: It's a good thing we don't have that law here, or Trouble would be forced to interrupt this set with a bunch of songs in English. By law!
	10:28am davefromtoronto: headcleaner it was until we got to our little "plot" - we pictured space and quiet and wilderness and it was like being in a packed park with people and noise and garbage everywhere!
	♥ 10:28am Barney Grubbs: @handy: my grad school advisor was French with an é in his name, so I've got alt-0233 burned into my long-term memory (and alt-0176 for the degree sign), but these days I'm mostly on a laptop with no numberpad so it's usually via the Win+R, charmap, and squint for the right character method.
	10:29am headcleaner: @dave - just like back home, in other words
	10:30am davefromtoronto: exactly hc - i could've stayed in toronto for that...
	10:33am headcleaner: the French have a special phrase for your experience in that campground, @dave - "le goût des autres" ("the taste of others")
	10:33am headcleaner: I'm dying to to up there as soon as the border reopens, nonetheless (maybe not to camp, though)
	♥ 10:35am Ken From Hyde Park: See ya, Handy. I hope the water tastes good and has an appealing bouquet today.
	♥ 10:35am JohnEBGood: I like Camus, Sartre and the French Existential literature : )
	10:36am davefromtoronto: i'm changing it to the "distaste" of others...there is something called "backwoods camping" in the provincial parks that is definitely more spacey and secluded. but harder to reserve cause they get grabbed up so fast.
	10:38am DR: With all this musique Français, it must be close to Bastille Day!
	10:39am pocket vito: L'enfer, c'est les voisins
	10:40am βrian: In Wisconsin, we've found that National campgrounds are much better than that state ones. Space between sites is critical.
	10:42am engineer mike: I’m liking hearing this again
	10:45am still b/p: My group had a bad 2 AM confrontation in a NH campground with two teams of loud campers -- college age women and older guys-- who'd decided to be noisy together around the same campfire. A friend on the scene said afterward this confirmed what he'd encountered elsewhere: "Canadians...they like to party." My birthday was July 2nd. Got a small bag of great presents and a homemade cake that was ohhhhhhh a perfect 10.
	♥ 10:45am JohnEBGood: Sounds like they having fun ; )
	♥ 10:46am Phillippe: good morning
	♥ 10:47am Ken From Hyde Park: The TdF stage today is a flat route from Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux to Nîmes. I thought it'd be neat to see a bullfight there, but I left when they started mistreating the poor animal.
	10:47am davefromtoronto: still b/p sounds familiar - we just had to roll with it until we left.
	♥ 10:47am Bas NL: Listening from work.. enjoying your sounds very much Trouble!
	♥ 10:49am JohnEBGood: Femme fatale!
	♥ 10:51am tim from washington: Hi Trouble and folkses!
	♥ 10:51am Patrick: Hey trouble, Loving the tunes.
	10:53am ChukAmok: @davefromvermont is that song "Dur Dur D'etre Bebe" the one by that five year old...Jordi?
	♥ 10:53am Trouble: hey patrick!! how are you??
	♥ 10:54am Trouble: merci @bas!!
	♥ 10:55am JohnEBGood: Desolation Row
	10:57am davefromtoronto: yes chuckamok that's the one.
	♥ 10:58am Pale Son: Oh, god, I remember that song. Lived in Montreal when it was on the radio all the time. Dave have you ever seen Mike Leigh's "Nuts in May"? I think you might enjoy it.
	♥ 10:59am Patrick: I’m great! Looks like you had a great trip to Maine, wherever you were looked beautiful.
	11:01am davefromtoronto: yeah that song STILL surfaces in my brain at odd times. no pale son but i'll look for it.
	♥ 11:02am Pale Son: Hilarious story of an uptight couple trying to camp in peace despite the plebs.
	11:02am ChukAmok: @davidfromtoronto I might be aging myself here a bit, but I remember when one of my French teachers played that in class. It was so creepy and annoying that I have not been able to scrub it from my memory.
	11:03am oshiwoshi: whut no Les Ritas???
	♥ 11:04am The Oscar: Funny enough, I just saw a scan of an old tabloid article from the '60s about Serge and Jane Birkin with the headline "THE UGLY MAN I LOVE!"
	11:04am ChukAmok: @PaleSon I am going to piggy-back of that recommendation for that Mike Leigh film. Saw 'Happy Go Lucky' recently and really enjoyed it.
	♥ 11:05am karlward: ChukAmok: I would like to go back in time and convince my Spanish teachers to just play some Peret por el amor de Dios
	♥ 11:05am Pale Son: Agreed, Chuk! Those are two of my faves.
	♥ 11:07am Pale Son: Oh! Some kind soul has put the whole thing on YouTube: youtu.be...
	11:09am Kayt: bom dia trouble it was called Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life. So beautiful.
	11:11am ChukAmok: Hey Karl! Not a bad idea. While you're at it, could you please convince my old French teacher not to be so lazy as to rely on playing creepy videos of annoying pop songs? That, or convince the younger me to study Spanish instead..?
	♥ 11:13am karlward: What if we go back in time and trade places for a semester? I have wanted to learn enough French to read the easier Camus books. It will be like studying abroad, but with time travel.
	♥ 11:13am melinda: Love this version
	11:13am chresti + Franco @LA: Hi Trouble and bodies!
	♥ 11:14am tim from washington: Nice! I thought this was Junior Murvin at first.
	♥ 11:15am melinda: @ChukAmok I really liked Happy Go Lucky too.
	♥ 11:16am JohnEBGood: New Orleans I got a lot to think about! Oh yeah!
	11:20am Susan C.: Just tuning in now but will catch this on the archive later. Happiest Birthday to you, Trouble!!! Feeling the celebratory vibe in your choices today!
	11:22am ChukAmok: @melinda Did you happen to see it on Criterion? I just stumbled across it while they had a Mike Leigh series going. The only streaming service worth the money, IMO.
	11:24am ChukAmok: Karl, I honestly don't think you'd like to trade places with me in the past.
	♥ 11:25am JohnEBGood: The art may be offensive to our Black brothers, Aweful
	♥ 11:27am Trouble: what are you talking about @johnEBgood?
	♥ 11:29am The Oscar: One of our local movie theaters is doing a summer-long retrospective of films from 2020 that they didn't get to screen, and I'm really hoping they add Lovers Rock. Would LOVE to see this scene in a room full of people.
	♥ 11:30am Trouble: that does sound good @ the oscar.
	11:30am oshiwoshi: janet kay! - time to unleash my preposterous falsetto on the neighbours
	♥ 11:35am The Oscar: Not sure if it happened yet or not, but I know Lincoln Center was going to be playing all the Small Axe films at some point!
	11:37am YETI BOB: Yes! I was hoping for some Aksak Maboul!
	♥ 11:37am JohnEBGood: Look at the net and the black figure on the limb. I'm not a crazy left or right yet that stood out to me. Peace. I am a middle aged white man from Downtown. Yes Downtown, Jersey City.
	11:40am YETI BOB: From Belgium not France, but I'm glad you are playing it anyway :-) "Figures" is such a great album.
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: the artwork you are talking about @johnebgood was painted by a black man, who also happens to be a dj here...
	♥ 11:44am tim from washington: I LOVE the sound of an industrial size fan starting! Like at the beginning of Melvins' 'Eye Flies'. Leave to to Mark Stewart to make awesome destroyed dub!
	♥ 11:45am Yes: late greetings. been enjoying everything
	♥ 11:45am tim from washington: @Trouble - what show does Azikiwe Mohammed do? I dig t he painting you put up Trouble.
	11:46am βrian: Just took a short walk and came across some beautiful oyster mushrooms. Too pretty to harvest, I decided.
	♥ 11:46am Trouble: @ tim from washington: he is dj black helmet on the drummer stream
	11:46am ChukAmok: Seconded what tim just asked/said.
	♥ 11:47am tim from washington: Thanks!
	11:47am ChukAmok: DJ Black Helmet is VERY good! Did not know he was also a painter. Thanks for clarifying that Trouble.
	♥ 11:48am JohnEBGood: I like the art DJ. I guess I'm just a little to sensitive : )
	11:48am davefromtoronto: i love that painting! he's no bob ross but who is?
	11:49am headcleaner: this was quite a sound for 1985, btw
	♥ 11:49am Trouble: thanks for all the birthday wishes!! and thanks for listening in today!
	♥ 11:51am Pale Son: Thanks for another Thursday morning of weird, uplifting, and/or relaxing music to work to, Trouble!
	11:51am Listening Out There: HBD, Trouble!
	♥ 11:52am tim from washington: @JohnEBGood - The great thing about art is that it provokes the sharing of ideas. meaning and interpretation. Also, as the song goes "we're all sensitive people" ;).
	11:53am Arlene Stein: Excellent show, birthday girl + 1!
	♥ 11:53am tim from washington: Thanks Trouble! Happy birthday!
	♥ 11:54am xtrakrispy: Bon Anniversaire Trouble!
	♥ 11:54am melinda: @ChukAmok it was DVD, maybe Criterion?
	♥ 11:54am JohnEBGood: Thanks Tim and DJTrouble 😉
	11:56am βrian: Coming up, for those traveling underground: Continental Subway with David Dichelle wfmu.org...
	11:58am Kpx: Nice shoe today trouble's, until nexts.
	♥ 11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Take care!

	9:03am Undead83: Awesome rendering for 'O Som do Silêncio' as an opening track ^^
	♥ 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and troublesome sorts!
	♥ 9:05am Handy Haversack: Yeah, that was a heck of a start, happymaan! Hi, Irene. I am particularly looking forward to today's chapter of Park Hard: An Alternate-Side Story. They are paving our block and already towed a bunch of cars off it, which means all other spots in the neighborhood will be at a premium. (And it means I won't be able to get the spot in front of the bldg. and pick up Continental Subway on the Bluetooth speaker, consarnit!)
	9:06am KWilde: Bonjour a tous!
	♥ 9:06am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): greetings, Trouble and WFMU folx!
	9:07am John from Madison: Hello
	9:08am winston legthigh: mornin trouble, trouble doer's.
	♥ 9:08am Trouble: mon dieu, catastrophe city here today. bonjour!
	9:09am winston legthigh: mecca lecca hi mecca hiney ho @mx baba bee.
	9:10am headcleaner: tout va bien, Trouble
	9:10am βrian: Cool music for a cool day. Merci pour le Piaf.
	♥ 9:10am mndave: turning this one up for my petit chien who is named after EP!
	9:11am Irene: Hey Handy! Sweeper just went through. Now I have to sit in the car till 10am. A shame that I have to use the car this afternoon and find new parking. The challenge for the next few days— one whole street has no parking Sunday, and my own street has a film crew settling in next Tuesday and Wednesday. 😾
	9:13am Irene: Nice Francophone tone this morning, Trouble!
	♥ 9:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Man, I just can't imagine having parking problems like these. My biggest issue is to not park too close to the 2 cord stack of firewood that's drying in the driveway. ;-)
	♥ 9:14am Handy Haversack: Ha, Irene, yup -- math checks out!
	9:14am βrian: Francophoning it in.
	9:14am Listener Gregory: Happy upcoming "Be Still" day to all the autocorrects!
	♥ 9:14am Threemoons: Hey, HH, Irene...sorry re parking woes...
	9:14am pocket vito: Hi trouble, I love this snappy french jazz.
	9:14am Irene: Woods, that makes me long for the suburbs!
	♥ 9:15am Trouble: it seems a long way away but bastille day is next week so i thought i would get a jump on it...
	♥ 9:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Irene: On the Maine coast we have parking problems, but only if we go into Bar Harbor during tourist season.
	♥ 9:16am Pale Son: Salut, tout le monde!
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: Hey, Threemoons! Hope you're hanging in.
	♥ 9:17am Threemoons: @HH thank you. Trying my best. Still very much touch and go/up in the air with Mom...
	9:17am sugarwolf: Happy Belated Birthday Trouble and Happy early Bastille Day everyone!
	♥ 9:18am Threemoons: Ducking out for a sec--gotta brush teeth, comb hair, and start day...
	9:18am Irene: Threemoons, it’s the penalty for wanting to own a car in NYC. Last night I just retrieved my car from my brother’s NJ house where I left it for the past month. I wish we had a residential parking permit to make it slightly easier.
	♥ 9:19am Ken From Hyde Park: That reminds me — Tour de France stage 12 is airing now. Good luck to you and your dear mother, Threemoons.
	9:20am Irene: Threemoons,sorry to hear about your troubles. Hope all goes well.
	♥ 9:21am Handy Haversack: Irene, we got out of town last week to the Hudson River Valley / Catskills, which made it all seem worthwhile. (We even got to meet up with Ken From Hyde Park!)
	9:21am hendrix wolfbat: Alors vous etez un une mode tres Francaise au jour d’hui!
	9:21am waters7: I’ve been waiting for your Bastille Fest for seemingly ages!
	9:22am βrian: J'attends mon café.
	♥ 9:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, it was nice to crawl out from under the metaphorical rock and get out to see some humans, Handy.
	9:26am sugarwolf: I love “Comme un boomerang” so much
	9:26am Irene: Sounds nice, Handy and Ken!
	♥ 9:27am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): digging this set as I pack to drive south allllll day!
	9:27am Rich in Bristol: "Il y a un maison en New Orleans que s'appelle The Rising Sun!"
	9:29am headcleaner: @sugarwolf - yep - it's one of those songs that just keeps coming back at you, we might say
	♥ 9:30am Trouble: bonjour sugarwolf! et emily!
	9:33am YETI BOB: Greetings from Chicago where it's unexpectedly cool (63°F) this morning
	9:33am pocket vito: Ken recently played an incredible French version of Toxic by Isia Marie. It's so beautiful.
	9:34am GiB: the sounds of freedom!
	♥ 9:34am Handy Haversack: Wow, that sounds nice, YB!
	♥ 9:35am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Nice! 61 here. Feels so good after that stint of camel's nutsack heat.
	9:36am βrian: Grâce à la générosité de ma bien-aimée, le café est arrivé !
	♥ 9:37am Threemoons: Trouble: Maybe some Ute Lemper to balance out the continent?
	9:37am Andres: Sacre bleu! Now I need a croissant.
	9:38am Listener Gregory: Not enough DJs ever say "Lordy." Thank you, Trouble.
	9:39am pocket vito: Lordy! L'ordi est en panne!
	♥ 9:39am Handy Haversack: Vite! Vite!
	9:40am davefromtoronto: french pop music is tres etrange...
	9:41am Listener Gregory: That is a useful phrase, @pocket vito.
	9:45am βrian: 58 degrees and overcast on the isthmus. Really lovely.
	9:46am oshiwoshi: Bastille day always fell on the last day of school - Vive la Revolution!
	9:47am βrian: Quelle belle diction ! Je connais pas Berry.
	9:47am pocket vito: 26 degrés Celsius ici
	9:48am Rich in Bristol: This berry track is a lovely bit of business.
	♥ 9:49am Handy Haversack: No relief in sight here, it seems. Saturday looks OK. Low eighties. I'll be outside most of the day, so I'll take it as a win. Moi non plus, mais je l'ai clicky-starré.
	9:50am sphere: I have not ever thought that "French dub" exists, but of course it does!
	9:50am joseloalter: Good morning, friends! Saying hi from Asturias in Northern Spain, right in the middle of nowhere. The only thing I was missing was wfmu, but today our router arrived in the mail. Yay! Lovely session Trouble!! Thank you.
	9:52am pocket vito: That's awesome josé!
	9:53am joseloalter: Thanks, pocket vito! Real nice to be here too. Here with you guys that is.
	9:55am Irene: Nice that you can join us, jose!
	9:57am E: The "passing breeze feat anna jean" is the song and the artist is Splash Wave FYI
	9:57am βrian: My dictionary says the the word "dub" traces back to Old French" adober" : ‘equip with armor’
	9:58am joseloalter: Yes, thanks Irene!
	9:58am Gregoa: Super plus musique-) <3
	♥ 10:00am Lee B: bon anniversaire, Trouble!!
	10:02am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: happy belated Bday…
	♥ 10:02am Pale Son: Oh, happy birthday!
	♥ 10:02am Handy Haversack: Happy birthday, Trouble!
	10:02am joseloalter: Happy belated Birthday!!!
	♥ 10:03am Handy Haversack: Windows machine? ALT+0233 on the number keypad.
	10:03am Susan: Happy Birthday fellow cancerian! I’m on the 2nd & so is Debbie Harry!
	10:03am UncleMarty: Happy early BDay for 2022
	10:03am hendrix wolfbat: Bonne anniversaire Trouble! C'est le anniversaire de ma meilleure amie Tanya le 11 de juliet.
	10:06am βrian: Hah, I just got a response to my Happy Birthday missive to an old friend. July 8 was a busy day. Bonne Anniversaire, Trouble.
	10:07am ChukAmok: Happy birthday Trouble!
	♥ 10:11am JohnEBGood: GM DJTrouble. Celebrating a Stanley Cup repeat here in Central Florida. Happy Birthday 🎈🏒
	10:15am davefromtoronto: my wife and i went camping years ago in quebec and EVERYONE at the campsite was blasting the song du jour called 'Dur Dur D'etre Bebe" - it drove us crazy!
	10:19am KWilde: Oui!
	♥ 10:20am Threemoons: Trouble--🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🥂🎉✨
	10:20am waters7: Dying here. Love you Trouble!
	♥ 10:21am Jason from Houston: Good morning, good folks.
	10:21am TerrDE: Brian todays the 8 . You're ahead a day or in Asia
	♥ 10:22am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Bondie?
	10:22am joseloalter: Same here, Jason. Amazing. Thank you, Trouble! ♥️♥️♥️
	10:23am headcleaner: camping in Quebec sounds like a très belle idée nonetheless, @davefromtoronto
	10:23am pocket vito: I was listening to the radio in Quebec and they had weird versions of American pop songs that were half English half French. I remember listening to "Ooh, I wanna dance with somebody, jusqu'a la fin de la nuit, fais-moi dancer" etc.
	♥ 10:24am Handy Haversack: They gave their one "l" to Michele, Woods. I have to head out to do my Community Water Quality Sampling and then sit in the car, but I'll be listening to the last hour there. Merci, Trouble! A bientôt à tous!
	10:26am sphere: @ pocket vito - I think Montreal has some sort of requirement that a certain amount of radio must be in French, maybe that's how they do it.
	10:27am sphere: Sorry, I meant Quebec.
	10:27am pocket vito: Indeed they do!
	10:27am sugarwolf: I am sort of considering planning a trip to Paris 2028 for the Gainsbourg centennial.
	10:27am pocket vito: It's a good thing we don't have that law here, or Trouble would be forced to interrupt this set with a bunch of songs in English. By law!
	10:28am davefromtoronto: headcleaner it was until we got to our little "plot" - we pictured space and quiet and wilderness and it was like being in a packed park with people and noise and garbage everywhere!
	♥ 10:28am Barney Grubbs: @handy: my grad school advisor was French with an é in his name, so I've got alt-0233 burned into my long-term memory (and alt-0176 for the degree sign), but these days I'm mostly on a laptop with no numberpad so it's usually via the Win+R, charmap, and squint for the right character method.
	10:29am headcleaner: @dave - just like back home, in other words
	10:30am davefromtoronto: exactly hc - i could've stayed in toronto for that...
	10:33am headcleaner: the French have a special phrase for your experience in that campground, @dave - "le goût des autres" ("the taste of others")
	10:33am headcleaner: I'm dying to to up there as soon as the border reopens, nonetheless (maybe not to camp, though)
	♥ 10:35am Ken From Hyde Park: See ya, Handy. I hope the water tastes good and has an appealing bouquet today.
	♥ 10:35am JohnEBGood: I like Camus, Sartre and the French Existential literature : )
	10:36am davefromtoronto: i'm changing it to the "distaste" of others...there is something called "backwoods camping" in the provincial parks that is definitely more spacey and secluded. but harder to reserve cause they get grabbed up so fast.
	10:38am DR: With all this musique Français, it must be close to Bastille Day!
	10:39am pocket vito: L'enfer, c'est les voisins
	10:40am βrian: In Wisconsin, we've found that National campgrounds are much better than that state ones. Space between sites is critical.
	10:42am engineer mike: I’m liking hearing this again
	10:45am still b/p: My group had a bad 2 AM confrontation in a NH campground with two teams of loud campers -- college age women and older guys-- who'd decided to be noisy together around the same campfire. A friend on the scene said afterward this confirmed what he'd encountered elsewhere: "Canadians...they like to party." My birthday was July 2nd. Got a small bag of great presents and a homemade cake that was ohhhhhhh a perfect 10.
	♥ 10:45am JohnEBGood: Sounds like they having fun ; )
	♥ 10:46am Phillippe: good morning
	♥ 10:47am Ken From Hyde Park: The TdF stage today is a flat route from Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux to Nîmes. I thought it'd be neat to see a bullfight there, but I left when they started mistreating the poor animal.
	10:47am davefromtoronto: still b/p sounds familiar - we just had to roll with it until we left.
	♥ 10:47am Bas NL: Listening from work.. enjoying your sounds very much Trouble!
	♥ 10:49am JohnEBGood: Femme fatale!
	♥ 10:51am tim from washington: Hi Trouble and folkses!
	♥ 10:51am Patrick: Hey trouble, Loving the tunes.
	10:53am ChukAmok: @davefromvermont is that song "Dur Dur D'etre Bebe" the one by that five year old...Jordi?
	♥ 10:53am Trouble: hey patrick!! how are you??
	♥ 10:54am Trouble: merci @bas!!
	♥ 10:55am JohnEBGood: Desolation Row
	10:57am davefromtoronto: yes chuckamok that's the one.
	♥ 10:58am Pale Son: Oh, god, I remember that song. Lived in Montreal when it was on the radio all the time. Dave have you ever seen Mike Leigh's "Nuts in May"? I think you might enjoy it.
	♥ 10:59am Patrick: I’m great! Looks like you had a great trip to Maine, wherever you were looked beautiful.
	11:01am davefromtoronto: yeah that song STILL surfaces in my brain at odd times. no pale son but i'll look for it.
	♥ 11:02am Pale Son: Hilarious story of an uptight couple trying to camp in peace despite the plebs.
	11:02am ChukAmok: @davidfromtoronto I might be aging myself here a bit, but I remember when one of my French teachers played that in class. It was so creepy and annoying that I have not been able to scrub it from my memory.
	11:03am oshiwoshi: whut no Les Ritas???
	♥ 11:04am The Oscar: Funny enough, I just saw a scan of an old tabloid article from the '60s about Serge and Jane Birkin with the headline "THE UGLY MAN I LOVE!"
	11:04am ChukAmok: @PaleSon I am going to piggy-back of that recommendation for that Mike Leigh film. Saw 'Happy Go Lucky' recently and really enjoyed it.
	♥ 11:05am karlward: ChukAmok: I would like to go back in time and convince my Spanish teachers to just play some Peret por el amor de Dios
	♥ 11:05am Pale Son: Agreed, Chuk! Those are two of my faves.
	♥ 11:07am Pale Son: Oh! Some kind soul has put the whole thing on YouTube: youtu.be...
	11:09am Kayt: bom dia trouble it was called Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life. So beautiful.
	11:11am ChukAmok: Hey Karl! Not a bad idea. While you're at it, could you please convince my old French teacher not to be so lazy as to rely on playing creepy videos of annoying pop songs? That, or convince the younger me to study Spanish instead..?
	♥ 11:13am karlward: What if we go back in time and trade places for a semester? I have wanted to learn enough French to read the easier Camus books. It will be like studying abroad, but with time travel.
	♥ 11:13am melinda: Love this version
	11:13am chresti + Franco @LA: Hi Trouble and bodies!
	♥ 11:14am tim from washington: Nice! I thought this was Junior Murvin at first.
	♥ 11:15am melinda: @ChukAmok I really liked Happy Go Lucky too.
	♥ 11:16am JohnEBGood: New Orleans I got a lot to think about! Oh yeah!
	11:20am Susan C.: Just tuning in now but will catch this on the archive later. Happiest Birthday to you, Trouble!!! Feeling the celebratory vibe in your choices today!
	11:22am ChukAmok: @melinda Did you happen to see it on Criterion? I just stumbled across it while they had a Mike Leigh series going. The only streaming service worth the money, IMO.
	11:24am ChukAmok: Karl, I honestly don't think you'd like to trade places with me in the past.
	♥ 11:25am JohnEBGood: The art may be offensive to our Black brothers, Aweful
	♥ 11:27am Trouble: what are you talking about @johnEBgood?
	♥ 11:29am The Oscar: One of our local movie theaters is doing a summer-long retrospective of films from 2020 that they didn't get to screen, and I'm really hoping they add Lovers Rock. Would LOVE to see this scene in a room full of people.
	♥ 11:30am Trouble: that does sound good @ the oscar.
	11:30am oshiwoshi: janet kay! - time to unleash my preposterous falsetto on the neighbours
	♥ 11:35am The Oscar: Not sure if it happened yet or not, but I know Lincoln Center was going to be playing all the Small Axe films at some point!
	11:37am YETI BOB: Yes! I was hoping for some Aksak Maboul!
	♥ 11:37am JohnEBGood: Look at the net and the black figure on the limb. I'm not a crazy left or right yet that stood out to me. Peace. I am a middle aged white man from Downtown. Yes Downtown, Jersey City.
	11:40am YETI BOB: From Belgium not France, but I'm glad you are playing it anyway :-) "Figures" is such a great album.
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: the artwork you are talking about @johnebgood was painted by a black man, who also happens to be a dj here...
	♥ 11:44am tim from washington: I LOVE the sound of an industrial size fan starting! Like at the beginning of Melvins' 'Eye Flies'. Leave to to Mark Stewart to make awesome destroyed dub!
	♥ 11:45am Yes: late greetings. been enjoying everything
	♥ 11:45am tim from washington: @Trouble - what show does Azikiwe Mohammed do? I dig t he painting you put up Trouble.
	11:46am βrian: Just took a short walk and came across some beautiful oyster mushrooms. Too pretty to harvest, I decided.
	♥ 11:46am Trouble: @ tim from washington: he is dj black helmet on the drummer stream
	11:46am ChukAmok: Seconded what tim just asked/said.
	♥ 11:47am tim from washington: Thanks!
	11:47am ChukAmok: DJ Black Helmet is VERY good! Did not know he was also a painter. Thanks for clarifying that Trouble.
	♥ 11:48am JohnEBGood: I like the art DJ. I guess I'm just a little to sensitive : )
	11:48am davefromtoronto: i love that painting! he's no bob ross but who is?
	11:49am headcleaner: this was quite a sound for 1985, btw
	♥ 11:49am Trouble: thanks for all the birthday wishes!! and thanks for listening in today!
	♥ 11:51am Pale Son: Thanks for another Thursday morning of weird, uplifting, and/or relaxing music to work to, Trouble!
	11:51am Listening Out There: HBD, Trouble!
	♥ 11:52am tim from washington: @JohnEBGood - The great thing about art is that it provokes the sharing of ideas. meaning and interpretation. Also, as the song goes "we're all sensitive people" ;).
	11:53am Arlene Stein: Excellent show, birthday girl + 1!
	♥ 11:53am tim from washington: Thanks Trouble! Happy birthday!
	♥ 11:54am xtrakrispy: Bon Anniversaire Trouble!
	♥ 11:54am melinda: @ChukAmok it was DVD, maybe Criterion?
	♥ 11:54am JohnEBGood: Thanks Tim and DJTrouble 😉
	11:56am βrian: Coming up, for those traveling underground: Continental Subway with David Dichelle wfmu.org...
