	9:16am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble & troubled sorts. Glad you're safely back today!
	9:16am Irene: RI was magnificent for us too, with perfect weather. Too short a time though.
	9:17am JRS: Wow, what was that song played before Coltrane? Stellar vibes. thanks!
	9:18am thedunkel: good morning trouble!
	9:20am Trouble: hipnotic earth was before alice coltrane
	9:20am JRS: Ah just saw it pop up on the playlist :P
	9:23am Handy Haversack: Irene, we got back from Michigan on Tue. and pulled up to the closest fireplug to unload the car. Mirabile dictu, a spot opened up right in front of the bldg. while we were doing so, and we managed to grab it. Good news has been in such short supply lately that this was an almost mystical experience!
	9:23am Listener Gregory: I was wondering what that Alice Coltrane record sounded like. Thanks for playing it.
	9:24am Fredericks: This Jessica Ackerley & Daniel Carter piece is quite interesting.
	9:27am TDK60: Morning Trouble. I often see African kora buskers in the NYC subway. A noisy situation. Most do have amps.
	9:27am YETI BOB: This Eboni Band is beautiful - the whole set has been great so far.
	9:30am BAMstutz: The music is good.
	9:33am Irene: Handy, surprisingly a similar thing happened when we returned to NYC. Just after unloading the car 🚘 a perfect parking space opened up across the street from our building. It’s those little things that help keep the vacation a pleasant experience.. 😸
	9:34am G: An old chestnut from 70s radio!
	9:34am waters7: No, you didn't. this song makes me gasp
	9:35am Stanley: Love Pillow Talk
	9:35am Cynthia: Wow! Pillow Talk is producing flashbacks.
	9:35am Webhamster Henry: Hi there Trouble and Morden World inhabitants!
	9:36am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I can't imagine having to deal with parking. My biggest issue is making sure not to park too close to the 2-cord pile of firewood I've got in the driveway.
	9:38am SeanG: hey trubs
	9:39am Stanley: Only old school creepy
	9:39am alanr: This morning's music is the perfect backdrop to the thunderstorm here in Cleveland, Ohio (visiting my hometown).
	9:40am HyperDose: um...She's....Talking™? 😳
	9:46am Phillippe: this is nice. pre-clicky starred
	9:47am TDK60: I can take a pictureless radio day. It is radio after all. I came for the audio. (But your art choices are fab, DJ!) \| Milton N.!
	9:53am mb: G'morning DJ Trouble and FMUer's
	9:53am Listener Gregory: Radio without pictures is like TV without smells!
	10:02am βrian: I have a friend in Chicago who spends a lot of time thinking about parking.
	10:03am YETI BOB: βrian: I live in Chicago, used to live in New York, and I can assure you it's a lot worse in NYC, with the alternate-side rules, etc.
	10:03am melinda: reminds me of Carole King
	10:05am tom tom the pipers son: that aliah sheffield really broke my heart
	10:07am βrian: Yes, I'm pretty sure she has left here car in a given spot for many weeks on end.
	10:09am βrian: My, such good paper one could make!
	10:09am prudy: about the quilting...that sounds wonderful Trouble...there is something so wonderfully comforting about sewing...
	10:10am Mandy: what's the improvisational quilting IG again? that sound awesome! I really hope zoom classes still are around. I got to take my friend from Delaware's painting class and it was a lot of fun.
	10:11am Kat in Chicago: I keep trying to get back into sewing.
	10:11am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @Mandy - Trouble said it's called Working Cloth, I think
	10:13am Trouble: the improvisational quilting person on instagram is @working_cloth the zoom class to learn how to construct and sew your own clothes is @christijay
	10:15am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: So that makes her a working cloth hero
	10:15am prudy: England has a long tradition/involvement with the production and use of fabric..I think started during colonial expansion but maybe even before when wool was produced domestically and used during the middle ages...
	10:15am βrian: I sew for practical reasons only, and it tends to hurt.
	10:16am joe mulligan: enjoying the mystical feels today Trouble
	10:16am Trouble: the history of textile production is a long and fascinating tale. you wouldn't believe how many wars have been started over it
	10:17am Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Trouble! Improvisational quilting sounds intriguing.
	10:17am βrian: Who hasn't bled in the service of a well-attached button?
	10:18am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @prudy - yes, lots of large mediaeval churches in small villages which were paid for with the profits from the wool trade. Big exports all over Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries
	10:19am Yes: hello
	10:20am HyperDose: Iced coffee and tunes really hitting the spot this morning
	10:21am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: then in the colonial period it was cotton. Manchester was the biggest producer of cotton fabric in the world, but it's important to remember it was part of a trading triangle which involved enslaved people being taken to America, cotton from there to England and fabric and manufactured goods from here to the rest of the world.
	10:23am Stanley: Kevin - not to mention the atrocious worker conditions in the mills, where children were routinely employed.
	10:24am βrian: In full-on pandemic times, I would be starting to prepare lunch by 10 am. Now I'm at a loss.
	10:26am Handy Haversack: I read an article in a nautical magazine a few years back that posited that the reach the Scandinavians tribes achieved during the Viking years, with colonies all over the British Isles, Iceland, Greenland, even North America and contact with the Mediterranean and Africa was attributable not to the martial prowess of the (male, mainly) warriors -- the Vikings -- but to the skill of the women who made the sails of flax and wool that moved the fleets around the world.
	10:27am βrian: I'm imagining Vikings wearing turtle-neck sweaters.
	10:28am wizard frog: @βrian hahaha
	10:28am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Stanley - quite right. Also in the coal mines. Factory Act 1833 introduced minimum age of 9 for working in textile factories. 9, for goodness sake...
	10:30am xtrakrispy: EBTG did a great job on this compilation. Slick Rick is a smooth highlight...
	10:31am prudy: agreed xtra...
	10:32am Stanley: Kevin - they weren't called the "dark, satanic mills" for nothing.
	10:35am karlward: Satanic Mills Mall
	10:35am eva: Improvisational quilting! learned so many beautiful stitches from the book ”geometry of hand-sewing”.
	10:35am Stanley: karlward- known as Primark, over here.
	10:39am Ken From Hyde Park: In the town of Staatsburg, just a little north of me along the Hudson, there is the Satanic Mills Mansion.
	10:40am waters7: Love you, too
	10:41am Trouble: happy birthday to syreeta Aug 3
	10:42am Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Sounding good on the Staten Island Ferry! Hot bike ride to South Ferry. Feels amazing on the outside of the ferry right now. Can't wait for the beach.
	10:44am Michele with One "L": Loving this!
	10:45am Handy Haversack: Niiiiiiiice.
	10:46am waters7: real tears for my lost youth
	10:46am slugluv1313: ohhhhhhhh The Cure <3 <3 <3
	10:47am DJ Guin: i love the cure, but this was the start of selling out with pop hitz
	10:48am eva: love love love!
	10:51am waters7: am lino printing this morning. I'm pretending I'm playing keyboard ala Josie and The Pussy Cats
	10:51am HyperDose: ::a wild DJ Guin sneaks away from "The Man" long enough to appear in the Freeform wilderness:: 🤠👀
	10:53am Trouble: good morning emily!
	10:55am ChukAmok: Hello Trouble and fellow listeners! I felt a collective sigh when that that Cure song came on.
	10:57am karlward: I love "Just Like Heaven" unapologetically
	10:57am prudy: this is a great song by Syreeta...is it recent?
	10:58am HyperDose: Chuk running Amok! ☕️🐸
	10:58am gauche knee: collective sigh indeed! Def a summery longings jam for the goth punx soul
	10:58am karlward: ChukAmok dashes into the room, sighs of feedback from all around
	10:59am Handy Haversack: Agreed, karlward. That whole album is excellent. And packed. "Just Like Heaven" has whole other systems of significance in the context of the album.
	11:00am Trouble: @prudy syreeta died in 2004, August 3, 1946 – July 6, 2004 this album is from 1972, her first
	11:01am prudy: trouble: thanks for response...didn't know she had passed...
	11:02am zipperhead7: Great segue from Syreeta to Sessa!!! Your show is terrific!
	11:02am gauche knee: loving this Rita Wright/Syreeta education! Nvr heard of her but now I’m avoiding tasks, reading her wiki & fmu boppin.
	11:02am Kay in Chi: A dreamy sub-tropicalia Panic in Detroit - beautiful.
	11:04am ChukAmok: Hi Karl, HyperDose, and Handy!
	11:04am Mike W.: Naturostereophonic listening to the birds on the air together with the many birds out here In The Field
	11:06am Handy Haversack: How goes, ChukAmok? Voices from the Field!
	11:07am acphalecolin: well that’s what you get for who-would-thunkin
	11:08am ChukAmok: It goes well, Handy! Getting some work in this morning before heading off to the airport. According to NOAA it will be 5°F warmer in NYC that it is here. Frying pan, meet fire.
	11:10am Threemoons: Hey Trouble--a lot of folks I know use the Logitech one; you would have to program it for them but then it should work.
	11:10am sphere: www.bestbuy.com...
	11:10am milkis: oh! I second this question!! My entire Sundays are spent helping my mom with this issue (over the phone)
	11:10am Threemoons: Also some cable companies now have programmable remotes where you can put the rest of your tech crap on one remote.
	11:10am sphere: you can start with the Best Buy list.
	11:10am MD: RADIO….
	11:10am Handy Haversack: ChukAmok, NYC has become what ATL was like when I was a kid. Weeks of 90+, soaking humidity, and afternoon storms. An entire weather pattern shifted 700+ miles north in thirty years.
	11:11am ledzeppelinsucks: There are giant two foot long remotes available for alzheimer victims. The buttons can be labeled.
	11:11am Threemoons: My Mom, bless her, refuses to let me get her an all in one. She is OK and PREFERS to have 5 different remotes. Whatever...
	11:11am MD: To hell with the video!
	11:11am Jasper SubRosa: telekinetic channel surfing. Computer-brain interface.
	11:11am sphere: There are a lot of links about universal remotes for the elderly. This is a popular topic.
	11:11am teod: Eh, I'm not sure how useful is in terms of not confusing the elders, nor have I ever used one, but I'd guess there may be some phone apps that do this. Quick google returns something called Anymote.
	11:12am Beast of Boonton: maybe she just needs glasses
	11:13am Kpx: Morning troubley woubley, hope's ya's don't mind's me calling you troubley woubley. Cause if you do's...Well for one thing it's too late, and for another thing, it wouldn't be any fun. Soooo ummm... a'hem?
	11:13am Mark Hurst: Universal remotes have gotten worse in recent years. Logitech used to make not-great-but-decent options, but they're focusing more on surveillance partnerships now with Amazon/Google/etc. for voice control, which I advise strictly avoiding. The least bad option might be to run everything through one of the OTT devices (Apple TV, possibly) which would mostly simplify everything into the device's one remote. Surveillance platforms are accelerating their rise, so there are no good answers, unfortunately.
	11:13am Remote help: Vivitar universal remote control Item#:VIV-IMP-520 Bought mine at Microcenter Brooklyn Gowanus Separate TV DVR SAT DVD CBL AMP/AUDIO & two AUX settings. Works like a charm. But if her main device for tuning is for cable or digital tv stick with it and use this for the rest. Works on VCR too. VCR/DVD capable as well.
	11:15am Handy Haversack: I have a CRT TV, a govt.-assisted digital antenna box, a DVD player, and a VCR. Even surveillance capitalism throws up its hands and stalks away in a huff when confronted by conditions here.
	11:15am ChukAmok: @Karl "sighs of feedback" is a sound I would like to cultivate.
	11:16am Mark Hurst: @Handy i salute you
	11:17am Remote help: It’s cheap too. Run one tv off the TV button. Another off the AUX. VCR off the AUX and a DVD/VCR combo off the DVD. All majors for two decades are found in the instruction sheet. DON’T LOSE IT
	11:18am βrian: Trying to get Little Human signed up for a Moderna trial. Fingers crossed ...
	11:18am HyperDose: Wow, first time I've heard my boi Pachy recognized by a FMU DJ. New album is gonna be 🔥🇵🇷🥁
	11:19am V Priceless: nice 'Summer Madness' samples/vibe
	11:19am Remote help: Same Handy. CRT4LIFE!
	11:19am Handy Haversack: K8 wants us to up(?)grade to a flat-screen TV, but I am worried I can't get one dumb enough to not spy on anything. Though I'm contemplating getting rid of the TV entirely and finally getting a working turntable to occupy that bit of precious apt. real estate.
	11:20am Trouble: mom in law doesnt use video she only watched tv, but the tv is through cable, yes cable, so she keeps clicking the wrong button and then she gets off cabel and onto non cable
	11:21am david_r: Is "amor de dias" also The Clientele?
	11:21am oshiwoshi: pop that cable button
	11:22am david_r: google had the answer.
	11:23am Trouble: @ david r yes similar peoples plus
	11:23am Mark Hurst: @Trouble part of the problem is that companies aren't investing much in the cable TV user experience - since all the money is in streaming (Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc.) and the "over the top" boxes that service it (Roku, Apple TV, cable providers' own streaming boxes). So when a customer totally reasonably has an issue with the terrible cable-TV remote, there's not much motivation to fix it. (To hyperbolize a bit, imagine someone today asking for a better VCR to set the clock off of a blinking 12:00 more easily...)
	11:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Last night, I brought up the web browser on my Android flat-screen TV and used the pop-up page to pipe the Rock 'n' Soul stream through the sound bar.
	11:26am Trouble: yes @ mark, part of the problem is that they are not in least concerned with the ease of use but only the offerings. I feel it as a smart ass adult, too much shit to go through to get what you want to do.
	11:28am Handy Haversack: It's almost enough to make one lose faith in UX ... creativegood.com...
	11:30am Mike W.: @Handy, the NSA keeps tabs on us older-equipment types with their Blabacus, which is like an abacus that tells on you
	11:31am Handy Haversack: @Mike W., with its beady eyes ...
	11:33am Trouble: thanks for all the feedback!!
	11:33am Mark Hurst: Obligatory New Yorker cartoon by Roz Chast: "How Grandma sees the remote" gizmodo.com...
	11:34am waters7: dyin' here
	11:35am Micheal: Peggy Lipton! Merci, Trouble!
	11:37am sphere: I don't think UX is the problem, its the marketing/financial side of the corporation that prevents investing in workable stuff.
	11:38am βrian: That's why javascript isn't inherently evil. But it sure looks evil!
	11:42am joe mulligan: love this force majeure album
	11:43am jmr3: That dezron douglas & brandee younger song was born to be played on your show, Trouble
	11:44am Vivian: @Trouble- If you can't locate a universal remote that solves issue, what about color coding the buttons on the remote? Couple with a guide with colors coordinating with steps to turn on cable?
	11:46am Too Obtuse: "Walk, Don't Run" is based on "Softly, As In Morning Sunrise".
	11:47am Mike W.: [gets a newfangled universal remote] “Now it’s everybody’s business what I dooooooo”
	11:52am Phin The Hyooman: Everytime you play Alpha, it transports me back to my college dorm room where I'd be singing along to this entire album while trying to study.
	11:55am Trouble: thanks for sitting in, listening and commenting today. see you next week when hopefully less than half the country will be affected by severe weather patterns...
	11:56am βrian: David D is waiting in the subway: wfmu.org...
	11:56am UFOspecialist: I am in the hospital looking at my daughter who was just born hours ago. this is the first song she has ever heard. thanks for WFMU for welcoming her into this modern world.
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Oh, dang, it got late fast! Thanks, Trouble. Much appreciated. Universal close, not remote.
	11:57am StringOFperils: Wow, that was a great show. Took me by surprise!
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for a great show, Trouble. Very nice, UFO!
	11:59am eva: congratulations!!! @ufospecialists fantastic show!

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from August 12, 2021

View Trouble's profile

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.

Mirabile dictu, a spot opened up right in front of the bldg. while we were doing so, and we managed to grab it. Good news has been in such short supply lately that this was an almost mystical experience!
	9:23am Listener Gregory: I was wondering what that Alice Coltrane record sounded like. Thanks for playing it.
	9:24am Fredericks: This Jessica Ackerley & Daniel Carter piece is quite interesting.

	9:30am BAMstutz: The music is good.

	9:34am G: An old chestnut from 70s radio!
	9:34am waters7: No, you didn't. this song makes me gasp
	9:35am Stanley: Love Pillow Talk
	9:35am Cynthia: Wow! Pillow Talk is producing flashbacks.
	9:35am Webhamster Henry: Hi there Trouble and Morden World inhabitants!
	9:36am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I can't imagine having to deal with parking. My biggest issue is making sure not to park too close to the 2-cord pile of firewood I've got in the driveway.
	9:38am SeanG: hey trubs
	9:39am Stanley: Only old school creepy
	9:39am alanr: This morning's music is the perfect backdrop to the thunderstorm here in Cleveland, Ohio (visiting my hometown).
	9:40am HyperDose: um...She's....Talking™? 😳
	9:46am Phillippe: this is nice. pre-clicky starred
	9:47am TDK60: I can take a pictureless radio day. It is radio after all. I came for the audio. (But your art choices are fab, DJ!) \| Milton N.!
	9:53am mb: G'morning DJ Trouble and FMUer's
	9:53am Listener Gregory: Radio without pictures is like TV without smells!
	10:02am βrian: I have a friend in Chicago who spends a lot of time thinking about parking.
	10:03am YETI BOB: βrian: I live in Chicago, used to live in New York, and I can assure you it's a lot worse in NYC, with the alternate-side rules, etc.
	10:03am melinda: reminds me of Carole King
	10:05am tom tom the pipers son: that aliah sheffield really broke my heart
	10:07am βrian: Yes, I'm pretty sure she has left here car in a given spot for many weeks on end.
	10:09am βrian: My, such good paper one could make!
	10:09am prudy: about the quilting...that sounds wonderful Trouble...there is something so wonderfully comforting about sewing...
	10:10am Mandy: what's the improvisational quilting IG again? that sound awesome! I really hope zoom classes still are around. I got to take my friend from Delaware's painting class and it was a lot of fun.
	10:11am Kat in Chicago: I keep trying to get back into sewing.
	10:11am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @Mandy - Trouble said it's called Working Cloth, I think
	10:13am Trouble: the improvisational quilting person on instagram is @working_cloth the zoom class to learn how to construct and sew your own clothes is @christijay
	10:15am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: So that makes her a working cloth hero
	10:15am prudy: England has a long tradition/involvement with the production and use of fabric..I think started during colonial expansion but maybe even before when wool was produced domestically and used during the middle ages...
	10:15am βrian: I sew for practical reasons only, and it tends to hurt.
	10:16am joe mulligan: enjoying the mystical feels today Trouble
	10:16am Trouble: the history of textile production is a long and fascinating tale. you wouldn't believe how many wars have been started over it
	10:17am Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Trouble! Improvisational quilting sounds intriguing.
	10:17am βrian: Who hasn't bled in the service of a well-attached button?
	10:18am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: @prudy - yes, lots of large mediaeval churches in small villages which were paid for with the profits from the wool trade. Big exports all over Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries
	10:19am Yes: hello
	10:20am HyperDose: Iced coffee and tunes really hitting the spot this morning
	10:21am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: then in the colonial period it was cotton. Manchester was the biggest producer of cotton fabric in the world, but it's important to remember it was part of a trading triangle which involved enslaved people being taken to America, cotton from there to England and fabric and manufactured goods from here to the rest of the world.
	10:23am Stanley: Kevin - not to mention the atrocious worker conditions in the mills, where children were routinely employed.
	10:24am βrian: In full-on pandemic times, I would be starting to prepare lunch by 10 am. Now I'm at a loss.
	10:26am Handy Haversack: I read an article in a nautical magazine a few years back that posited that the reach the Scandinavians tribes achieved during the Viking years, with colonies all over the British Isles, Iceland, Greenland, even North America and contact with the Mediterranean and Africa was attributable not to the martial prowess of the (male, mainly) warriors -- the Vikings -- but to the skill of the women who made the sails of flax and wool that moved the fleets around the world.
	10:27am βrian: I'm imagining Vikings wearing turtle-neck sweaters.
	10:28am wizard frog: @βrian hahaha
	10:28am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Stanley - quite right. Also in the coal mines. Factory Act 1833 introduced minimum age of 9 for working in textile factories. 9, for goodness sake...
	10:30am xtrakrispy: EBTG did a great job on this compilation. Slick Rick is a smooth highlight...
	10:31am prudy: agreed xtra...
	10:32am Stanley: Kevin - they weren't called the "dark, satanic mills" for nothing.
	10:35am karlward: Satanic Mills Mall
	10:35am eva: Improvisational quilting! learned so many beautiful stitches from the book ”geometry of hand-sewing”.
	10:35am Stanley: karlward- known as Primark, over here.
	10:39am Ken From Hyde Park: In the town of Staatsburg, just a little north of me along the Hudson, there is the Satanic Mills Mansion.
	10:40am waters7: Love you, too
	10:41am Trouble: happy birthday to syreeta Aug 3
	10:42am Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Sounding good on the Staten Island Ferry! Hot bike ride to South Ferry. Feels amazing on the outside of the ferry right now. Can't wait for the beach.
	10:44am Michele with One "L": Loving this!
	10:45am Handy Haversack: Niiiiiiiice.
	10:46am waters7: real tears for my lost youth
	10:46am slugluv1313: ohhhhhhhh The Cure <3 <3 <3
	10:47am DJ Guin: i love the cure, but this was the start of selling out with pop hitz
	10:48am eva: love love love!
	10:51am waters7: am lino printing this morning. I'm pretending I'm playing keyboard ala Josie and The Pussy Cats
	10:51am HyperDose: ::a wild DJ Guin sneaks away from "The Man" long enough to appear in the Freeform wilderness:: 🤠👀
	10:53am Trouble: good morning emily!
	10:55am ChukAmok: Hello Trouble and fellow listeners! I felt a collective sigh when that that Cure song came on.
	10:57am karlward: I love "Just Like Heaven" unapologetically
	10:57am prudy: this is a great song by Syreeta...is it recent?
	10:58am HyperDose: Chuk running Amok! ☕️🐸
	10:58am gauche knee: collective sigh indeed! Def a summery longings jam for the goth punx soul
	10:58am karlward: ChukAmok dashes into the room, sighs of feedback from all around
	10:59am Handy Haversack: Agreed, karlward. That whole album is excellent. And packed. "Just Like Heaven" has whole other systems of significance in the context of the album.
	11:00am Trouble: @prudy syreeta died in 2004, August 3, 1946 – July 6, 2004 this album is from 1972, her first
	11:01am prudy: trouble: thanks for response...didn't know she had passed...
	11:02am zipperhead7: Great segue from Syreeta to Sessa!!! Your show is terrific!
	11:02am gauche knee: loving this Rita Wright/Syreeta education! Nvr heard of her but now I’m avoiding tasks, reading her wiki & fmu boppin.
	11:02am Kay in Chi: A dreamy sub-tropicalia Panic in Detroit - beautiful.
	11:04am ChukAmok: Hi Karl, HyperDose, and Handy!
	11:04am Mike W.: Naturostereophonic listening to the birds on the air together with the many birds out here In The Field
	11:06am Handy Haversack: How goes, ChukAmok? Voices from the Field!
	11:07am acphalecolin: well that’s what you get for who-would-thunkin
	11:08am ChukAmok: It goes well, Handy! Getting some work in this morning before heading off to the airport. According to NOAA it will be 5°F warmer in NYC that it is here. Frying pan, meet fire.
	11:10am Threemoons: Hey Trouble--a lot of folks I know use the Logitech one; you would have to program it for them but then it should work.
	11:10am sphere: www.bestbuy.com...
	11:10am milkis: oh! I second this question!! My entire Sundays are spent helping my mom with this issue (over the phone)
	11:10am Threemoons: Also some cable companies now have programmable remotes where you can put the rest of your tech crap on one remote.
	11:10am sphere: you can start with the Best Buy list.
	11:10am MD: RADIO….
	11:10am Handy Haversack: ChukAmok, NYC has become what ATL was like when I was a kid. Weeks of 90+, soaking humidity, and afternoon storms. An entire weather pattern shifted 700+ miles north in thirty years.
	11:11am ledzeppelinsucks: There are giant two foot long remotes available for alzheimer victims. The buttons can be labeled.
	11:11am Threemoons: My Mom, bless her, refuses to let me get her an all in one. She is OK and PREFERS to have 5 different remotes. Whatever...
	11:11am MD: To hell with the video!
	11:11am Jasper SubRosa: telekinetic channel surfing. Computer-brain interface.
	11:11am sphere: There are a lot of links about universal remotes for the elderly. This is a popular topic.
	11:11am teod: Eh, I'm not sure how useful is in terms of not confusing the elders, nor have I ever used one, but I'd guess there may be some phone apps that do this. Quick google returns something called Anymote.
	11:12am Beast of Boonton: maybe she just needs glasses
	11:13am Kpx: Morning troubley woubley, hope's ya's don't mind's me calling you troubley woubley. Cause if you do's...Well for one thing it's too late, and for another thing, it wouldn't be any fun. Soooo ummm... a'hem?
	11:13am Mark Hurst: Universal remotes have gotten worse in recent years. Logitech used to make not-great-but-decent options, but they're focusing more on surveillance partnerships now with Amazon/Google/etc. for voice control, which I advise strictly avoiding. The least bad option might be to run everything through one of the OTT devices (Apple TV, possibly) which would mostly simplify everything into the device's one remote. Surveillance platforms are accelerating their rise, so there are no good answers, unfortunately.
	11:13am Remote help: Vivitar universal remote control Item#:VIV-IMP-520 Bought mine at Microcenter Brooklyn Gowanus Separate TV DVR SAT DVD CBL AMP/AUDIO & two AUX settings. Works like a charm. But if her main device for tuning is for cable or digital tv stick with it and use this for the rest. Works on VCR too. VCR/DVD capable as well.
	11:15am Handy Haversack: I have a CRT TV, a govt.-assisted digital antenna box, a DVD player, and a VCR. Even surveillance capitalism throws up its hands and stalks away in a huff when confronted by conditions here.
	11:15am ChukAmok: @Karl "sighs of feedback" is a sound I would like to cultivate.
	11:16am Mark Hurst: @Handy i salute you
	11:17am Remote help: It’s cheap too. Run one tv off the TV button. Another off the AUX. VCR off the AUX and a DVD/VCR combo off the DVD. All majors for two decades are found in the instruction sheet. DON’T LOSE IT
	11:18am βrian: Trying to get Little Human signed up for a Moderna trial. Fingers crossed ...
	11:18am HyperDose: Wow, first time I've heard my boi Pachy recognized by a FMU DJ. New album is gonna be 🔥🇵🇷🥁
	11:19am V Priceless: nice 'Summer Madness' samples/vibe
	11:19am Remote help: Same Handy. CRT4LIFE!
	11:19am Handy Haversack: K8 wants us to up(?)grade to a flat-screen TV, but I am worried I can't get one dumb enough to not spy on anything. Though I'm contemplating getting rid of the TV entirely and finally getting a working turntable to occupy that bit of precious apt. real estate.
	11:20am Trouble: mom in law doesnt use video she only watched tv, but the tv is through cable, yes cable, so she keeps clicking the wrong button and then she gets off cabel and onto non cable
	11:21am david_r: Is "amor de dias" also The Clientele?
	11:21am oshiwoshi: pop that cable button
	11:22am david_r: google had the answer.
	11:23am Trouble: @ david r yes similar peoples plus
	11:23am Mark Hurst: @Trouble part of the problem is that companies aren't investing much in the cable TV user experience - since all the money is in streaming (Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc.) and the "over the top" boxes that service it (Roku, Apple TV, cable providers' own streaming boxes). So when a customer totally reasonably has an issue with the terrible cable-TV remote, there's not much motivation to fix it. (To hyperbolize a bit, imagine someone today asking for a better VCR to set the clock off of a blinking 12:00 more easily...)
	11:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Last night, I brought up the web browser on my Android flat-screen TV and used the pop-up page to pipe the Rock 'n' Soul stream through the sound bar.
	11:26am Trouble: yes @ mark, part of the problem is that they are not in least concerned with the ease of use but only the offerings. I feel it as a smart ass adult, too much shit to go through to get what you want to do.
	11:28am Handy Haversack: It's almost enough to make one lose faith in UX ... creativegood.com...
	11:30am Mike W.: @Handy, the NSA keeps tabs on us older-equipment types with their Blabacus, which is like an abacus that tells on you
	11:31am Handy Haversack: @Mike W., with its beady eyes ...
	11:33am Trouble: thanks for all the feedback!!
	11:33am Mark Hurst: Obligatory New Yorker cartoon by Roz Chast: "How Grandma sees the remote" gizmodo.com...
	11:34am waters7: dyin' here
	11:35am Micheal: Peggy Lipton! Merci, Trouble!
	11:37am sphere: I don't think UX is the problem, its the marketing/financial side of the corporation that prevents investing in workable stuff.
	11:38am βrian: That's why javascript isn't inherently evil. But it sure looks evil!
	11:42am joe mulligan: love this force majeure album
	11:43am jmr3: That dezron douglas & brandee younger song was born to be played on your show, Trouble
	11:44am Vivian: @Trouble- If you can't locate a universal remote that solves issue, what about color coding the buttons on the remote? Couple with a guide with colors coordinating with steps to turn on cable?
	11:46am Too Obtuse: "Walk, Don't Run" is based on "Softly, As In Morning Sunrise".
	11:47am Mike W.: [gets a newfangled universal remote] “Now it’s everybody’s business what I dooooooo”
	11:52am Phin The Hyooman: Everytime you play Alpha, it transports me back to my college dorm room where I'd be singing along to this entire album while trying to study.
	11:55am Trouble: thanks for sitting in, listening and commenting today. see you next week when hopefully less than half the country will be affected by severe weather patterns...
	11:56am βrian: David D is waiting in the subway: wfmu.org...
	11:56am UFOspecialist: I am in the hospital looking at my daughter who was just born hours ago. this is the first song she has ever heard. thanks for WFMU for welcoming her into this modern world.
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Oh, dang, it got late fast! Thanks, Trouble. Much appreciated. Universal close, not remote.
	11:57am StringOFperils: Wow, that was a great show. Took me by surprise!
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for a great show, Trouble. Very nice, UFO!
	11:59am eva: congratulations!!! @ufospecialists fantastic show!
