	9:02am Pale Son: Love this soundtrack. Morning and HNY, Trouble et al.!
	9:02am PMD: Morning!
	9:03am Juli: Winston the dog is doing fab
	9:04am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This Miles album is SO good.
	9:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and vigilant ones.
	9:05am YETI BOB: Woods - have you seen the film? It's great. I learned about it from Krys O here on the chat. (Hi Krys!)
	9:05am Zipperhead7: Hi folkx! Yes, that Miles album is wonderful. Nobody played ballads like Miles. Also see "Generique" from that LP
	9:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: No, I have not. I'll have to seek it out.
	9:08am Trouble: good january morning all!
	9:08am YETI BOB: Woods: For us, it started a streak of watching French Film Noir, some really great ones ... "Touchez Pas La Grisbi" and "Bob Le Flambeur"
	9:08am Juli: Morning ppls I must get ready for the day job
	9:09am Trouble: the movie: lift to the gallows or elevator to the scaffold is tremendous!
	9:10am blurry: my thumb hurts. smashed it surfing in rockaway. this music helping a lot. thx trouble
	9:12am Zinn The Mood: Hey Trouble and all TroubleMakers. Always the perfect way to start the day, your show is. Love that Miles too. Yesterday on WKCR heard a classical Miles piece that blew me away. Something called “Will o' The Wisp DRBook Of Jazz Chapter 15: Sketches Of Spain.”
	9:13am Mike W.: typo negative
	9:14am Zipperhead7: Here's a great clip from that film. Ah, Jeanne Moreau . . . www.youtube.com...
	9:15am Listener Gregory: Great opening set!!
	9:18am adampsyche: this is beautiful
	9:19am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have to be careful with film noir because TheWife will tolerate absolutely no violence. Unrelated: We watched The Baker's Wife last week. Kind of charming, goofy, and man...a few quite racy lines for 1939!
	9:23am Juli: The puppy won't let me lock up the other dog so I no have to go to work yet lol
	9:24am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zipperhead7: Part of that scene reminded me of Diva. I think it was the arcade.
	9:25am bobobob: souns like Ramsey Lewis
	9:25am Juli: Zinn I looked that up thanks
	9:26am YETI BOB: Zipperhead - just watched that with the sound off, it went remarkably well with the Maxine Funke track. What beautiful cinematography. Woods - the films I mentioned are not particularly violent, more suspense and atmosphere than shoot-outs. It's been a while since I watched, but I can't remember anyone actually getting killed or hurt. But as Mrs Y reminds me, there is some casual violence, like face-slaps, which might still be too much.
	9:27am PMD: I love hearing random non'popular' Elton John
	9:28am blurry: anyone aware of deux filles background? pretty amazing story: www.darkentriesrecords.com...
	9:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: That might pass. It all depends on how prolonged or ugly it gets. She used to work in schools w/kids who'd been traumatized for all sorts of reasons. It makes most of that "not entertainment," if you know what I mean.
	9:29am riley: What a beautiful wakeup. Good morning! Asheville still chilly, but the music like a perfect cup of coffee.
	9:30am Handy Haversack: PMD: Check out Julie's Dark Night of the Soul show on the Drummer Stream on Tuesday afternoons. Deep Elton cuts practically guaranteed.
	9:32am PMD: @Handy, yes thank you! I keep forgetting that show exists so I never listen live!
	9:32am YETI BOB: I hear ya, Woods. I won't watch horror films or anything that has too much explicit violence, I never worked with traumatized kids but I'm pretty sensitive and stuff like that makes me feel bad and gives me nightmares, "not entertainment" indeed (although I have no problem with other people enjoying it)
	9:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yeah, I used to go to horror films when I was a kid but that last one I saw (and I was in no way a kid at that point) was The Blair Witch Project. Heck, you could hardly see anything in that one.
	9:35am PMD: A film which was was hard to watch but I'm glad I saw (I think) was the original Girl with a Dragon Tattoo (and I didn't watch some of it - had to have my partner at the time tell me when I could come back in the room). Also for some reason Quills
	9:39am Strandlund: Happy New Year Trouble and all you Modernaires out there all over the world...
	9:40am Handy Haversack: I watch almost exclusively horror movies. I think they do a better job of society and psyche exploration than most others made these days.
	9:42am ChukAmok: Hello! Drag Me To Hell was the last, or at least most recent, horror movie that I really enjoyed. Classic Raimi. Does Mandy count as horror?
	9:42am Mike Sin: During 1970 and depending on how his success progressed, Elton could have easily fallen into that California "singer/songwriter" scene -- selling just as many songs as (sparsely) recording them. That self-titled LP seems set up for that. But then subsequent LPs launched him into the stratosphere
	9:43am Vivian: I loved the Crown, but couldn't get into Season 1. After numerous conversations with friends who loved the series, started watching it when it covered the Diana years.
	9:44am Yes: morning everyone
	9:44am ChukAmok: Hellraiser II scared the bejesus out of me and will never be revisited.
	9:45am Handy Haversack: ChukAmok, Mandy's on RT's list of the 200 best horror movies, so I guess so! I preferred Color Out of Space! But Mandy sure had its moments. Drag Me to Hell is great!
	9:47am YETI BOB: Yes Bebey!
	9:48am Zinn The Mood: Had forgotten that over the weekend a French press thing called Aeropress was purchased. So instead of the usual chicory and espresso coffee made in the stovetop macchiato I fetched the thing out. Pretty good. Though this discovery is now almost calling out for that British electric kettle thing (which I seem to remember heats water to the most optimum temp for coffee and tea) that for some reason we haven’t acquired yet.
	9:48am Fredericks: Yeah Bebay!
	9:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zinn The Mood: We have a kettle. It's great. Gets the water to 200 for the French press. I have an Aeropress too. Makes a great (if different) cup.
	9:50am chresti: morning Bebey and Trouble and modern worldly ones!
	9:50am Handy Haversack: YB, thanks to you and Scott W., I have come around and wishlisted the Circle/Dawson album!
	9:50am ChukAmok: Yo Handy! I thought Mandy was pretty good up until the point he made that ridiculous axe thing, then it dawned on me that it's kind of a silly movie. I did enjoy Beyond The Black Rainbow, though. Drag Me... is great due in so small part to the fact that none of the characters up to and definitely including the lead have any redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's very subtly funny that way.
	9:51am DJ Guin: love nick drake. my favorite folky duck
	9:53am oshiwoshi: thanks for the Nick - turned round what was looking like a Black-eyed dog week
	9:53am Kotzwinkled: Aeropress invented by the same fella who made the Aerobi boomerang toys. Had to explain to my colleague the Aeropress wasn't some sort of penile pump when I had it shipped to my office. It looks quite odd!
	9:53am YETI BOB: HH: I hope you like it! The songs are all about different plants. The final track is sort of a mini-horror-epic about a carnivorous pitcher plant :-)
	9:55am Zinn The Mood: @Woods thanks. Just checked and this thing says 175. Do most electric kettles have a temp control?
	9:55am YETI BOB: Kotz: OMG that's hilarious. I'll stick with my Chemex :-)
	9:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zinn The Mood: I don't think all of them do. I wanted it because I also make black tea, green tea, etc.
	9:58am chresti: Chemex ftw!
	10:00am Steevee: My vote for Aeropress. Great cup, but a lot of parts to wash.
	10:01am P-90: Happy ‘22 @Trouble and Modernistas! Joltin’ Joe Biden just stepped up and laid down the law. Big time.
	10:03am Handy Haversack: That was a sweet transition, Trouble.
	10:05am McMurphy: @P-90 Yeah, he didn't hold back.
	10:06am bradford: station id!
	10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): “You can’t love this country only when you win.”
	10:07am john eck: I'm out of the loop. What did Biden do?
	10:13am eva: Enjoying the music today. Biden made the best speech of his career. I admire how he threw in a little taunting.
	10:15am Zipperhead7: Hard to believe John McLaughlin is 80 years old. Love "Devotion" and "My Goal's Beyond." After the show, check out this version of "A Love Supreme" from 1973. Around 13:30 he starts channeling Trane. Fierce and beautiful www.youtube.com...
	10:15am McMurphy: @john eck. He gave a speech at the Capital re 1/6. From the NYT: "The president accused Mr. Trump of spinning a “web of lies” and imperiling democracy" and re Trump "he and his allies placed “a dagger at the throat of American democracy.”"
	10:15am P-90: Historians and commenters are already saying it may be remembered as THE speech of Biden’s presidency, someone just was quoted saying it will be remembered as “one of the greatest public speeches in American history”. And he just finished less than half an hour ago.
	10:16am P-90: And he never once mentioned Trump by name. Very stylish.
	10:17am eva: yes, it was his best. he is not a fantastic speech maker. Kamala Harris is fantastic !
	10:17am ChukAmok: “They want to rule or they will ruin". Nicely put.
	10:18am john eck: Hell Yes! That's so good to hear. It needs to be said and I'm glad he did it. The whole thing cannot be ignored. It has nothing to do with right or left. It has to do with a civilized society. Some lines cannot be crossed and it blows my mind that there are people that downplay what happened or just take the stance that nothing bad happened at all.
	10:19am Jason from Houston: OH YESSSSSS...
	10:19am Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍• ᴗ •◍꒱:+
	10:19am HyperDose: Toss me a broom, Jason. I need a dancing partner!
	10:19am Glistener MW: Stevie! Thanks for this, Trouble 🌟❤️
	10:20am Jason from Houston: Awwww...
	10:20am Jason from Houston: [toss]
	10:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Woo! I have a DVD somewhere of Stevie Wonder putting together this song. Really entertaining.
	10:20am Jason from Houston: A good Thursday to you, HyperDose!
	10:22am HyperDose: Yahoo! 🧹😎👞
	10:22am P-90: Everyone is saying he didn’t want to make this speech, that he didn’t run for President to do this, and the image of a reluctant Joe Biden having to step up on Jan 6 ‘22 to say all the parts out loud, because Trump and the Republican Party left him no choice, is part of the message.
	10:24am listener james from westwood: I had this steinski track starred because OF COURSE I did.
	10:24am Zipperhead7: Great segue into DD&S. Hope Steve is doing well these days.
	10:24am Handy Haversack: Math checks out, James!
	10:26am Stevel: Faced with an immediate conflict, as I just got off of my feet and sat down to work. Chair dancing to commence presently.
	10:26am Zinn The Mood: No matter how much sturm and drang ratcheted up by the both the corporate puppets in gov’t and their stenographers in MSM it’s all but assured that not only will fundamentally nothing change with respect to our lives becoming better (I.e. free universal healthcare, affordable housing for everyone, access to a legitimate justice system, the breakup of monopolies that rule over every aspect of our lives, etc). But you can bet your life on it that after all the press conference bluster and vapid and cowardly punditry condemnation of anyone in their same political and financial class (e.g Trump, Clinton, Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc) no one will legitimately be held accountable for anything. It’s a two -tiered justice system, with Liberty and Justice for Some. And the sad truth is that some is the 1%. Doesn’t matter what color political jersey you wear. If you’re a connected politician, a Wall St Economic Terrorist or a murderous cop you’re immunized from “rule of law.” Nothing will happen to that dopey conman fraudster Trump. Because there’s just as much criminality to be dug up on the people doing the accusing that not one of them will dare push it too far, for fear of exposing themselves too. All empty bluster. Guaranteed.
	10:26am listener james from westwood: Lisa Lisa!!
	10:29am DJ Guin: How did you come up with Lisa Lisa as your stage name? It was all about the boobies! Full Force, when they first met me, they could never look me in the eye. They kept looking at me below the chin, and they would be like, “Lisa, Lisa.” And it stuck.
	10:29am Handy Haversack: Thank you, Zinn. That neatly choates my inchoate reaction. Exactly spot on. A lecture from a rich and creepy uncle is unlikely to change anything for the better -- esp. in a system built to resist change at any cost. Also: what James said!
	10:29am eva: I just learned Stevie wonder wrote, “Tell Me Something Good”-Chaka Khan .❤️ that song.
	10:30am A. Bee: Long-time listener here, just wanted to chime in to say I've been having the worst week but your set is saving it for me this morning. Thank you <3
	10:30am DJ Guin: Lisa Lisa is a breast cancer survivor, too! yay!
	10:30am Trouble: happy to help @A Bee
	10:31am YETI BOB: Zinn - I was debating whether to post something like "But will it make any difference?" - but I don't want to take people's hope away. Personally, I'm glad Biden gave the speech, but I was even more pleased by what A.G. Merrick Garland said yesterday - "The Justice Department remains committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law -- whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy."
	10:31am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): "...there's as much criminality to be dug up on the people doing the accusing" is mighty reductive boths-sides-ism, if you ask me.
	10:31am john eck: @Zinn and Handy- Sadly, I agree with you assessment. I still think it's important for Biden to address what happened in the election.
	10:32am YETI BOB: Let's give him a chance to show he means what he's saying.
	10:32am YETI BOB: Woods - yes, I agree, its a totally false equivalence
	10:33am ChukAmok: @Zinn Business as usual, true. Though, glad he said what needed to be said. @A. Bee Hang in there and let the tunes set you free.
	10:35am YETI BOB: The Justice dept has arrested a lot of people in relation to the riots, and the investigation is ongoing ... don't declare defeat yet
	10:37am Zipperhead7: When i feel despondent about today, I console myself with thinking how depressed I would have been in January 1942: post-Pearl Harbor, Stalingrad on the edge of utter collapse, and the Wannsee 'conference' about to take place. Bernie's call to fight back comes at the right time.
	10:37am Handy Haversack: Hotsie motsie, Trouble, this set! It's about to start raining in here as the cold outside hits the heat pumping out of the speakers!
	10:38am john eck: @A. Bee - Don't know what you're going through, but hang in there brother/sister
	10:38am melinda: @Zinn I agree
	10:40am YETI BOB: Despair will get us nowhere!
	10:40am Trouble: uh oh @ zipperhead: hope you have water damage insurance
	10:44am john eck: Amen, @Yeti Bob
	10:45am Tuftum Yoderspa: Yee Haw. DJ This Is The Modern World with Trouble. I do like me some Parliament Funkadelic
	10:45am DJ Guin: Happy 92nd Birthday Shoutout to Vic Tayback! He ded so long ago now. Flo had to look for a new job.
	10:45am SeanG: there were FBI informants involved on Jan 6 -they knew what was going down- it was partly a staged event
	10:48am Zinn The Mood: But that’s just it @Woods. The absolute crux of the matter (all matters, in fact) is that, due to the pay to play, bribery involved with getting elected in this country, all politicians are completely utterly beholden to their “donors.” They are not in any way at all beholden to the voters. That’s a nice quaint fantasy of America Great Mythology that needs always to be called out and exposed by sunlight. Biden is absolutely just as corrupt. Goddamn, he’s a Republican (lite) anyway, who joined the Blue team. Doesn’t take much to pull on a different jersey over your back. Everyone of the top people in the Democratic Party are just as beholden to the same corporate criminals that own the Republican Party. This is all a charade, a news cycle headline grabber, that will be forgotten about a few months from now. And if it isn’t they’ll just trot out decrepit Joe again to repeat a speech he’s proactive over and over, written for him by a writer on the payroll, so that it can be kicked down the road hopefully a little further down the next time. I’ll just finish with this. The fact that in an ongoing gooabal pandemic America still can’t get its citizens universal free healthcare, while continuing to botch the whole thing with respect to not enough available testing and mixed messages - BY BOTH PARTIES, should tell you everything you’ll ever need to know about the legitimacy and efficacy of American governance. Until then no one will be able to convince me that we don’t live in a banana republic, no mater which party is in “power.” Albeit one with limitless cable tv, endless cheap goods made by child slave labor in SE Asia, plenty of fast food franchise chains, gleaming new banks on every corner and a fascist surveillance system that makes the Stasi and KGB look like babies.
	10:48am Ryansterlingvirtue: Trouble is one of the best things about Thursday. Loving this set. Thanks!
	10:48am john eck: @Sean G - gives us a legitimate source or go away
	10:50am ?: I think there is a reddit board somewhere that might be a better venue @zinn
	10:50am Tuftum Yoderspa: Is it too late in the year to wear white? Too late to wish a Happy New Year?
	10:50am StringOFperils: Going forward, best to keep focused on the incumbent's adversaries, as nice as it is to wrap oneself in the coziness of, instantly mythologized, iconic moments in partisan politics and patriotic euphoria. The opposition to what today's Whitehouse represents is vast and all too real, and in no way has ceased to exist; they will be looking for leadership with much more finesse and steel than the poppet that was defeated. That can be held a bay, at least, but there's a struggle ahead. I wish Mr. Biden well, and if I were like him, I'd pray.
	10:51am melinda: @john eck I don't think what Sean said is all that far fetched, actually
	10:52am YETI BOB: Melinda, it doesn't pass basic fact-checking, unless you get your "facts" from Matt Gaetz
	10:53am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I am specifically talking about the overturning of an election. Nothing more. And now I'll stop that because I'm already angry enough. P.S. How he heck did I not like Boz Scaggs back in the day?
	10:53am Juli: Trump ppl are Trumpers bc they are racists and want money and guns not that they couldn't have guns without Trump lmao ugh I deal w so many
	10:53am Tuftum Yoderspa: That Boz Scaggs is one of my all time favorite songs DJ Trouble @Zinn couldn't agree more, except that it's the same corrupt government that is enablling the scamdemic, murdering old and young alike for money and power.
	10:54am Juli: Why not tell ppl not to have babies?
	10:55am Juli: My life could be the funniest HBO show lmao
	10:56am Juli: I am like "I don't dig politics" and say Bye Byes
	10:56am Marie: Hey, digging the show. Such a nice vibe. Just had the thought, what the heck does Boz Scaggs mean, if anything.
	10:56am Too Obtuse: Meanwhile, back at the mothership -- BOZ!!!!!
	10:56am Tuftum Yoderspa: Juli I wouldn't mind tuning-in to watch you in primetime on Thursdays Sitcom hour, except that I don't have a TeeVee.
	10:57am Glistener MW: “Death, you’ve given me a rare and precious gift — The Complete Boz Scaggs. How DID you know?!??”
	10:58am Strandlund: This show has been FANTASTIC!!
	10:59am HyperDose: The left and right are two extremist sides of the same irresponsible and greedy coin...ditch the coin and invest in WFMU NFT's today! 🤪
	11:00am DJ Guin: the only token I am doin' is a nice hydroponic hybrid
	11:00am StringOFperils: Token if you got 'em.
	11:01am DJ Guin: token of my appreciation, Trouble
	11:01am Trouble: gracias@ strandlund, merci@ marie
	11:02am eva: seang is spot on.
	11:02am Zipperhead7: Yeah, this show is excellent. Thanks for the positive vibes, Trouble!
	11:03am eva: A staged event that went off script. horrible and dangerous.
	11:06am Tuftum Yoderspa: @Sean, it has been convincingly proven that Jan 6, was an FBI coordinated riot. Just as it's been effectively proven 9-11, Sandy Hook (no one died), Kennedys' murders, and countless other CIA / Mossad devious false flags were government administered. One only has to research which is a lot of work and getting harder with "freedom of press" USA's censorship and cancelation, regimes
	11:06am isawyermusic: Trouble is the best!
	11:07am Marie: That event sounds fantastic! I will look for events near me, Woodside, Queens.
	11:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have Silk Degrees on 8-Track. No kiddin'!
	11:07am isawyermusic: Cleo new to me! nice vocals
	11:08am ChukAmok: Cover band idea: 4 Non-Dionnes. Celebrating the catalog of 4 Non-Blondes in the style of Dionne Warwick. I'm done...
	11:09am Marie: Stevie is a master
	11:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): If you do enough research, you can also discover that water isn't actually wet.
	11:10am isawyermusic: That Funkadelic was a cool little surprise
	11:10am StringOFperils: That is so true. About the water.
	11:10am anne: i secretly loved freestyle in the 80s while being a post-punk/new-wave adherent teen
	11:10am CT Bland: The FBI ruled that it was not an insurrection. Furthermore most of those who are being charged with the capital riot are being held without bail in squalid conditions for the crime of trespassing. Let’s face it those who are currently in power are trying to use the capital riot along with racism and climate change to further their cause and pander for votes.
	11:10am Tuftum Yoderspa: GET OUT of THAT COAL MINE QUICK DJ Trouble!!
	11:11am Tuftum Yoderspa: @CT Youv've got a witness here!
	11:12am eva: lol! great show. y’all have a productive day.
	11:12am HyperDose: That album name is incredible
	11:13am StringOFperils: Does Gudrun Gut still run Monica Records out of Berlin? (p.s. not subversive code, just a question)
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Sinking in pearsand sounds like a pretty sweet way to go out, HyperDose.
	11:13am Trouble: thanks@zipperhead! btw i wrote you back but maybe it didn't go through?
	11:13am Zipperhead7: Stevie Wonder/bass -- check out this clip and you'll see why Miles stole his bass player Michael Henderson. www.youtube.com...
	11:14am Handy Haversack: SOp: It's a cold day for pontooning. The black cat walks at midnight.
	11:15am Zipperhead7: Didn't get the message, Trouble. Try Zipperhead7@gmail
	11:15am Trouble: i hope so @ stringofperils! i looooove her. long ago i invited her to come out to wfmu if she is ever in NYC
	11:15am Trouble: okeeedokeee@ zipperhead!
	11:15am Cal in Dothan: This is nice and crunchy
	11:16am StringOFperils: @Trouble > I imagine she'd love to visit WFMU. And thank you for replying! :)
	11:17am Tuftum Yoderspa: That is some bad-ass bass mastery at only 18 yo Zipperhead. Thanks
	11:18am isawyermusic: this is dope
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Parking rules are suspended today, Irene, if you're seeing this!
	11:23am CT Bland: I know that my comment will probably be taken off the chat board which is fine I understand. Just want to say that what makes our country great is that we all can voice our opinions whether we agree with them or not.
	11:23am HyperDose: And definitely don't park in any pearsand or Sarlacc pits!
	11:24am Handy Haversack: In Brooklyn? I'd kill to find a nice Sarlacc pit to park in! Are you kidding?
	11:25am Tuftum Yoderspa: I am very proud of DJ Trouble for her patience and bravery both @CT. Thank you Trouble :)
	11:28am Andres: Good morning! Really dug that last track! I didn’t know what stuzzicadenti meant but was definitely not expecting toothpick. :)
	11:28am Lucky: Omg, some people on the comments sound like patronizing jerks.
	11:29am Trouble: thanks for that translation @andres, me neither
	11:29am Tuftum Yoderspa:
	11:31am isawyermusic: this is the vibe i love right here. thank you for playing some gems
	11:31am P-90: @Lucky: also one or two of the commenters sound exactly like the Russian trolls that still turn up on social media. They’re everywhere.
	11:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Trouble: Thanks for the show. I officially achieved liftoff during the Stevie -> Double Dee & Steinski segment.
	11:32am gauche knee: @Zinn I agree with much of what you say but there needs to be accountability for Jan 6. Yes, there are many fires to put out but we can’t save the forest by ignoring those dousing accelerants.
	11:33am βrian: There are several open parking spots right now in front of our place, for what it's worth.
	11:33am gauche knee: “critique can become merely an expression of profound cynicism, which then works to sustain dominator culture.”
	11:33am DJ Guin: guess what? Russia sucks. seriously. cold weather. tacky culture. rampant alcoholism. China can eat some unclean ass, as well. Now. back to the music!
	11:33am ChukAmok: I've heard that the Sarlacc Pit market in Brooklyn is, somewhat ironically, through the roof. All those gentrifying/slowly digesting bounty hunters moving in...
	11:33am Marie: Hey CT Bland, videos from multiple sources do not lie. Get real with yourself. Do you ever read any of the larger newspapers?
	11:33am P-90: Also: has anyone named their band “Sarlaac Pits” yet?
	11:34am DJ Guin: take your Faux News ramblings elsewhere
	11:34am Handy Haversack: On our way, βrian! You'll, er, make lunch?
	11:35am DJ Guin: Sarlaac Pits was Zasu Pitts birth name :)
	11:35am Tuftum Yoderspa: There is a whole world of non-mainstream research waiting for those who wish to put the effort into digging below the official propaganda.
	11:36am βrian: Sure, if you don't mind reheated seafood chili and cornbread.
	11:39am Marie: What a lot of people do not seem to realize is that what you want to use as information sources are things that have been publicly vetted by a lot of people, not some singular person or group of anonymous people. Social media and the internet are full of a lot of misinformation.
	11:41am Tuftum Yoderspa: Official fact checkers have been shown to be wrong and tied financially to those they are supposedly 'fack checking'. Mainstream media and their support network are the greatest source of "disinformation".
	11:43am ChukAmok: Be that as it may, Tuftum Yoderspa, but there is still exists something called Objective Truth & Reality, and no amount of "disrupting" will ever carry with it the integrity to challenge or undermine that.
	11:44am john eck: There's facts. And there's "alternative facts"
	11:44am Mike W: My January 6 vibe at the moment is that the insurrection in 2025 will be ours, to overthrow a fascist government. CT ExtraBland probably hasn’t considered the fact that pretty much every prisoner outside of white-collar criminals is being held in squalid conditions. “The FBI ruled that...” LOLZ x infinity. Whaddaya got for us next, a trenchant quote from Kissinger? Really Trouble, the quality of the imitation Russian trolls on your chat has plummeted...
	11:45am Trouble: thanks for listening today!
	11:45am catching the last 30: on the west coast. Will stream the whole show as I do every week later. Always nice to have a moment with the live radio vibes
	11:47am YETI BOB: Hey Trouble, thanks for the show!! I did my best to ignore the trolls but it was a challenge today.
	11:48am adampsyche: 3/5 of my family died in the last year and this show makes me happy
	11:50am gauche knee: @ marie very true. Unfort, some people’s need to be “the one who knows more than others” is so strong they overlook facts. They know something is wrong with the world but are led astray by knee jerk reactions, misinfo , Internet hucksters , & ofc some are just fascist fanboys.
	11:50am Mike W: this Som Imaginario record is quietly one of the best Brazilian albums evah. Peace and comfort to you, Adampsyche...
	11:50am Ryansterlingvirtue: love this band
	11:51am headcleaner: very sorry to hear, adam
	11:51am PMD: Thankyou!
	11:51am Handy Haversack: This was and continues to be an absolute blazer, Trouble! Like sinking in hot pearsand! Many many thanks! Stay Troubled, everyone.
	11:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. "Support WFMU in 2022." That's my motto!
	11:51am Trouble: i am so sorry @Adampsyche. i am glad to hear that music helps
	11:51am adampsyche: ❤️
	11:51am Zipperhead7: Thanks for another great one, Trouble. Look forward to hearing from you
	11:52am adampsyche: ty
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Sympathy and solidarity, adampsyche.
	11:53am Mike W: My strong feeling is that the so-called discourse with the fascist GOP and literally everyone who backs them and the mealy-mouthed what-abouters is over and done. They want conflict. Pacifism may continue to suit the religious, but i’m not observant like that (and neither are the god-squadders on the right).
	11:53am gauche knee: @ Adam so sorry to hear, that is a lot. Sending strength. Listen to the music, be kind to yourself, & remember there’s no wrong way to grieve.
	11:53am βrian: Continental Subway is about to get underway: wfmu.org...
	11:53am Zinn The Mood: Thanks for the parking tip, Handy. If we ever get out of the place today might need that. Assuming that’s a precursor to the hopefully imminent (and not miscalculated) snowstorm being forecasted to begin tonight. Fingers crossed for the snow… Boil this conversation down: in an atmosphere of anxiety and mistrust, some of it legit, the best way to mitigate the fear of “losing our democracy/this is fascism/we’re a nation of law and order” would be to guarantee universal healthcare to everyone. In that case you’d never, never, have to worry about another Trump or Jan 6 happening again. Taking the sting off economic woes and the feeling of being ripped off by insurance and Big Pharma companies wouldn’t magically cure racism. But it would most definitely steady things and get People’s faith restored in government. Speeches, posturing and other performative nonsense ultimately feed the powder keg. I’m not at all down with that Sandy Hook “staged” thing. I don’t doubt and am rather certain that the government, under the aegis of the FBI and CIA, has run all kinds of psy-ops and assassination programs (there’s plenty of evidence, Operation Gladio, Fred Hampton, MLK, Malcolm, Bretton Woods, etc). Misinformation from QAnon, Fox, MSNBC and CNN is rampant. A good adage from Mark Twain seems an appropriate reminder today: “If you don’t read the newspaper you’re uniformed. If you read the newspaper you’re misinformed.” Thanks as ever, Trouble. Love that painting on playlist page too!
	11:53am Miss G: Turning on the radio at the best time! Thank you Trouble for Nikki Giovanni!!!
	11:54am βrian: WWll — was it staged??
	11:55am john eck: Thank you Trouble for the awesome show today. We are having a snowstorm where I live and it's beautiful. The show today has been a great soundtrack for it!
	11:55am listener 126464: Thank you Trouble!
	11:55am DJ Guin: Korea and Vietnam were
	11:55am Marie: Thanks, Gauche. @Bland-And nothing is perfect, including mainstream media, but it's still better than anonymous freaks and bad actors on the internet. Great show Trouble, thanks!
	11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: NASA faked the D-Day landing, βrian.
	11:56am Marie: BTW, I think the moon is a big piece of cheese
	11:56am Tuftum Yoderspa: @Brian actually, yes it was engineered to happen so was WWl by the usual suspects. Als Iraq war
	11:57am gauche knee: Amazing show & love the Giovanni! Thanks Trouble! Be well, fellow FMUers!
	11:57am oshiwoshi: lovely show - mercy buckets!
	11:57am DJ Guin: Pearl Harbor was known in advance and allowed to occur to rally the US to join the war...it effectively ended the Depression
	11:57am YETI BOB: "Information literacy" is a skill that needs to be taught in schools - how to evaluate competing claims and decide which to trust. Many people seem so ready to believe claims that don't stand up the slightest bit of scrutiny. I believe a lot of our problems are due to failures of the US education system. (How's that for condescending?)
	11:57am βrian: I vote for Comté. It takes me to the moon, anyway.
	11:58am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:58am DJ Guin: @YETI - as a recovering educator - i agree 100%
	11:58am P-90: Thanks for the musical balm. It helps.
	11:58am Mike W: Zinn — which newspaper do you think Twain was talking about? Otherwise, I agree heartily that free healthcare would severely undercut a lot of the rank-and-file (i.e., the citizenry) who back the GOP. You want a strong country? Free healthcare and education for all. For starters.
	11:58am Tuftum Yoderspa: Your right Yeti, but forget about critical thinking being taught in school.
	11:59am P-90: @YETI: yes! “Information literacy”
	11:59am DJ Guin: Twain was alive during Yellow Journalism, kids. read a fucking book ffs
	11:59am HyperDose: Lovely ending! Thanks, Trouble =]
	12:00pm βrian: Please add child care, por favor.
	12:00pm Zinn The Mood: Hi-energy dance “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” just freaked out my little kids, who stood in the middle of the kitchen slowly smiling… Used to play that one on guitar and sing to them all the time when they were babies. St
	12:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks!!!
	12:00pm john eck: @Yeti Bob - totally agree with what you said. I couldn't have put it better. To add to it, it seems to me a lot of people make up their mind on any given issue without educating themselves on the issue first. Once their mind is made up, they "research" until they find something, anything, to back their position up.
	12:00pm P-90: Yes, Twain was joking about issues with 19th century journalism.
	12:07pm Avrilinmay: once again, a pleasure to catch your show live, and hear that background shirping

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.

	9:01am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble, and happy 2022, all!
	9:02am HyperDose: Hey, Trouble. Diggin' these smooth tunes 🥃😎🚬
	9:02am headcleaner: morning, all
	9:02am Pale Son: Love this soundtrack. Morning and HNY, Trouble et al.!
	9:02am PMD: Morning!
	9:03am Juli: Winston the dog is doing fab
	9:04am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This Miles album is SO good.
	9:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and vigilant ones.
	9:05am YETI BOB: Woods - have you seen the film? It's great. I learned about it from Krys O here on the chat. (Hi Krys!)
	9:05am Zipperhead7: Hi folkx! Yes, that Miles album is wonderful. Nobody played ballads like Miles. Also see "Generique" from that LP
	9:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: No, I have not. I'll have to seek it out.
	9:08am Trouble: good january morning all!
	9:08am YETI BOB: Woods: For us, it started a streak of watching French Film Noir, some really great ones ... "Touchez Pas La Grisbi" and "Bob Le Flambeur"
	9:08am Juli: Morning ppls I must get ready for the day job
	9:09am Trouble: the movie: lift to the gallows or elevator to the scaffold is tremendous!
	9:10am blurry: my thumb hurts. smashed it surfing in rockaway. this music helping a lot. thx trouble
	9:12am Zinn The Mood: Hey Trouble and all TroubleMakers. Always the perfect way to start the day, your show is. Love that Miles too. Yesterday on WKCR heard a classical Miles piece that blew me away. Something called “Will o' The Wisp DRBook Of Jazz Chapter 15: Sketches Of Spain.”
	9:13am Mike W.: typo negative
	9:14am Zipperhead7: Here's a great clip from that film. Ah, Jeanne Moreau . . . www.youtube.com...
	9:15am Listener Gregory: Great opening set!!
	9:18am adampsyche: this is beautiful
	9:19am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have to be careful with film noir because TheWife will tolerate absolutely no violence. Unrelated: We watched The Baker's Wife last week. Kind of charming, goofy, and man...a few quite racy lines for 1939!
	9:23am Juli: The puppy won't let me lock up the other dog so I no have to go to work yet lol
	9:24am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zipperhead7: Part of that scene reminded me of Diva. I think it was the arcade.
	9:25am bobobob: souns like Ramsey Lewis
	9:25am Juli: Zinn I looked that up thanks
	9:26am YETI BOB: Zipperhead - just watched that with the sound off, it went remarkably well with the Maxine Funke track. What beautiful cinematography. Woods - the films I mentioned are not particularly violent, more suspense and atmosphere than shoot-outs. It's been a while since I watched, but I can't remember anyone actually getting killed or hurt. But as Mrs Y reminds me, there is some casual violence, like face-slaps, which might still be too much.
	9:27am PMD: I love hearing random non'popular' Elton John
	9:28am blurry: anyone aware of deux filles background? pretty amazing story: www.darkentriesrecords.com...
	9:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: That might pass. It all depends on how prolonged or ugly it gets. She used to work in schools w/kids who'd been traumatized for all sorts of reasons. It makes most of that "not entertainment," if you know what I mean.
	9:29am riley: What a beautiful wakeup. Good morning! Asheville still chilly, but the music like a perfect cup of coffee.
	9:30am Handy Haversack: PMD: Check out Julie's Dark Night of the Soul show on the Drummer Stream on Tuesday afternoons. Deep Elton cuts practically guaranteed.
	9:32am PMD: @Handy, yes thank you! I keep forgetting that show exists so I never listen live!
	9:32am YETI BOB: I hear ya, Woods. I won't watch horror films or anything that has too much explicit violence, I never worked with traumatized kids but I'm pretty sensitive and stuff like that makes me feel bad and gives me nightmares, "not entertainment" indeed (although I have no problem with other people enjoying it)
	9:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Yeah, I used to go to horror films when I was a kid but that last one I saw (and I was in no way a kid at that point) was The Blair Witch Project. Heck, you could hardly see anything in that one.
	9:35am PMD: A film which was was hard to watch but I'm glad I saw (I think) was the original Girl with a Dragon Tattoo (and I didn't watch some of it - had to have my partner at the time tell me when I could come back in the room). Also for some reason Quills
	9:39am Strandlund: Happy New Year Trouble and all you Modernaires out there all over the world...
	9:40am Handy Haversack: I watch almost exclusively horror movies. I think they do a better job of society and psyche exploration than most others made these days.
	9:42am ChukAmok: Hello! Drag Me To Hell was the last, or at least most recent, horror movie that I really enjoyed. Classic Raimi. Does Mandy count as horror?
	9:42am Mike Sin: During 1970 and depending on how his success progressed, Elton could have easily fallen into that California "singer/songwriter" scene -- selling just as many songs as (sparsely) recording them. That self-titled LP seems set up for that. But then subsequent LPs launched him into the stratosphere
	9:43am Vivian: I loved the Crown, but couldn't get into Season 1. After numerous conversations with friends who loved the series, started watching it when it covered the Diana years.
	9:44am Yes: morning everyone
	9:44am ChukAmok: Hellraiser II scared the bejesus out of me and will never be revisited.
	9:45am Handy Haversack: ChukAmok, Mandy's on RT's list of the 200 best horror movies, so I guess so! I preferred Color Out of Space! But Mandy sure had its moments. Drag Me to Hell is great!
	9:47am YETI BOB: Yes Bebey!
	9:48am Zinn The Mood: Had forgotten that over the weekend a French press thing called Aeropress was purchased. So instead of the usual chicory and espresso coffee made in the stovetop macchiato I fetched the thing out. Pretty good. Though this discovery is now almost calling out for that British electric kettle thing (which I seem to remember heats water to the most optimum temp for coffee and tea) that for some reason we haven’t acquired yet.
	9:48am Fredericks: Yeah Bebay!
	9:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zinn The Mood: We have a kettle. It's great. Gets the water to 200 for the French press. I have an Aeropress too. Makes a great (if different) cup.
	9:50am chresti: morning Bebey and Trouble and modern worldly ones!
	9:50am Handy Haversack: YB, thanks to you and Scott W., I have come around and wishlisted the Circle/Dawson album!
	9:50am ChukAmok: Yo Handy! I thought Mandy was pretty good up until the point he made that ridiculous axe thing, then it dawned on me that it's kind of a silly movie. I did enjoy Beyond The Black Rainbow, though. Drag Me... is great due in so small part to the fact that none of the characters up to and definitely including the lead have any redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's very subtly funny that way.
	9:51am DJ Guin: love nick drake. my favorite folky duck
	9:53am oshiwoshi: thanks for the Nick - turned round what was looking like a Black-eyed dog week
	9:53am Kotzwinkled: Aeropress invented by the same fella who made the Aerobi boomerang toys. Had to explain to my colleague the Aeropress wasn't some sort of penile pump when I had it shipped to my office. It looks quite odd!
	9:53am YETI BOB: HH: I hope you like it! The songs are all about different plants. The final track is sort of a mini-horror-epic about a carnivorous pitcher plant :-)
	9:55am Zinn The Mood: @Woods thanks. Just checked and this thing says 175. Do most electric kettles have a temp control?
	9:55am YETI BOB: Kotz: OMG that's hilarious. I'll stick with my Chemex :-)
	9:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zinn The Mood: I don't think all of them do. I wanted it because I also make black tea, green tea, etc.
	9:58am chresti: Chemex ftw!
	10:00am Steevee: My vote for Aeropress. Great cup, but a lot of parts to wash.
	10:01am P-90: Happy ‘22 @Trouble and Modernistas! Joltin’ Joe Biden just stepped up and laid down the law. Big time.
	10:03am Handy Haversack: That was a sweet transition, Trouble.
	10:05am McMurphy: @P-90 Yeah, he didn't hold back.
	10:06am bradford: station id!
	10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): “You can’t love this country only when you win.”
	10:07am john eck: I'm out of the loop. What did Biden do?
	10:13am eva: Enjoying the music today. Biden made the best speech of his career. I admire how he threw in a little taunting.
	10:15am Zipperhead7: Hard to believe John McLaughlin is 80 years old. Love "Devotion" and "My Goal's Beyond." After the show, check out this version of "A Love Supreme" from 1973. Around 13:30 he starts channeling Trane. Fierce and beautiful www.youtube.com...
	10:15am McMurphy: @john eck. He gave a speech at the Capital re 1/6. From the NYT: "The president accused Mr. Trump of spinning a “web of lies” and imperiling democracy" and re Trump "he and his allies placed “a dagger at the throat of American democracy.”"
	10:15am P-90: Historians and commenters are already saying it may be remembered as THE speech of Biden’s presidency, someone just was quoted saying it will be remembered as “one of the greatest public speeches in American history”. And he just finished less than half an hour ago.
	10:16am P-90: And he never once mentioned Trump by name. Very stylish.
	10:17am eva: yes, it was his best. he is not a fantastic speech maker. Kamala Harris is fantastic !
	10:17am ChukAmok: “They want to rule or they will ruin". Nicely put.
	10:18am john eck: Hell Yes! That's so good to hear. It needs to be said and I'm glad he did it. The whole thing cannot be ignored. It has nothing to do with right or left. It has to do with a civilized society. Some lines cannot be crossed and it blows my mind that there are people that downplay what happened or just take the stance that nothing bad happened at all.
	10:19am Jason from Houston: OH YESSSSSS...
	10:19am Jason from Houston: +:꒰◍• ᴗ •◍꒱:+
	10:19am HyperDose: Toss me a broom, Jason. I need a dancing partner!
	10:19am Glistener MW: Stevie! Thanks for this, Trouble 🌟❤️
	10:20am Jason from Houston: Awwww...
	10:20am Jason from Houston: [toss]
	10:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Woo! I have a DVD somewhere of Stevie Wonder putting together this song. Really entertaining.
	10:20am Jason from Houston: A good Thursday to you, HyperDose!
	10:22am HyperDose: Yahoo! 🧹😎👞
	10:22am P-90: Everyone is saying he didn’t want to make this speech, that he didn’t run for President to do this, and the image of a reluctant Joe Biden having to step up on Jan 6 ‘22 to say all the parts out loud, because Trump and the Republican Party left him no choice, is part of the message.
	10:24am listener james from westwood: I had this steinski track starred because OF COURSE I did.
	10:24am Zipperhead7: Great segue into DD&S. Hope Steve is doing well these days.
	10:24am Handy Haversack: Math checks out, James!
	10:26am Stevel: Faced with an immediate conflict, as I just got off of my feet and sat down to work. Chair dancing to commence presently.
	10:26am Zinn The Mood: No matter how much sturm and drang ratcheted up by the both the corporate puppets in gov’t and their stenographers in MSM it’s all but assured that not only will fundamentally nothing change with respect to our lives becoming better (I.e. free universal healthcare, affordable housing for everyone, access to a legitimate justice system, the breakup of monopolies that rule over every aspect of our lives, etc). But you can bet your life on it that after all the press conference bluster and vapid and cowardly punditry condemnation of anyone in their same political and financial class (e.g Trump, Clinton, Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc) no one will legitimately be held accountable for anything. It’s a two -tiered justice system, with Liberty and Justice for Some. And the sad truth is that some is the 1%. Doesn’t matter what color political jersey you wear. If you’re a connected politician, a Wall St Economic Terrorist or a murderous cop you’re immunized from “rule of law.” Nothing will happen to that dopey conman fraudster Trump. Because there’s just as much criminality to be dug up on the people doing the accusing that not one of them will dare push it too far, for fear of exposing themselves too. All empty bluster. Guaranteed.
	10:26am listener james from westwood: Lisa Lisa!!
	10:29am DJ Guin: How did you come up with Lisa Lisa as your stage name? It was all about the boobies! Full Force, when they first met me, they could never look me in the eye. They kept looking at me below the chin, and they would be like, “Lisa, Lisa.” And it stuck.
	10:29am Handy Haversack: Thank you, Zinn. That neatly choates my inchoate reaction. Exactly spot on. A lecture from a rich and creepy uncle is unlikely to change anything for the better -- esp. in a system built to resist change at any cost. Also: what James said!
	10:29am eva: I just learned Stevie wonder wrote, “Tell Me Something Good”-Chaka Khan .❤️ that song.
	10:30am A. Bee: Long-time listener here, just wanted to chime in to say I've been having the worst week but your set is saving it for me this morning. Thank you <3
	10:30am DJ Guin: Lisa Lisa is a breast cancer survivor, too! yay!
	10:30am Trouble: happy to help @A Bee
	10:31am YETI BOB: Zinn - I was debating whether to post something like "But will it make any difference?" - but I don't want to take people's hope away. Personally, I'm glad Biden gave the speech, but I was even more pleased by what A.G. Merrick Garland said yesterday - "The Justice Department remains committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators, at any level, accountable under law -- whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy."
	10:31am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): "...there's as much criminality to be dug up on the people doing the accusing" is mighty reductive boths-sides-ism, if you ask me.
	10:31am john eck: @Zinn and Handy- Sadly, I agree with you assessment. I still think it's important for Biden to address what happened in the election.
	10:32am YETI BOB: Let's give him a chance to show he means what he's saying.
	10:32am YETI BOB: Woods - yes, I agree, its a totally false equivalence
	10:33am ChukAmok: @Zinn Business as usual, true. Though, glad he said what needed to be said. @A. Bee Hang in there and let the tunes set you free.
	10:35am YETI BOB: The Justice dept has arrested a lot of people in relation to the riots, and the investigation is ongoing ... don't declare defeat yet
	10:37am Zipperhead7: When i feel despondent about today, I console myself with thinking how depressed I would have been in January 1942: post-Pearl Harbor, Stalingrad on the edge of utter collapse, and the Wannsee 'conference' about to take place. Bernie's call to fight back comes at the right time.
	10:37am Handy Haversack: Hotsie motsie, Trouble, this set! It's about to start raining in here as the cold outside hits the heat pumping out of the speakers!
	10:38am john eck: @A. Bee - Don't know what you're going through, but hang in there brother/sister
	10:38am melinda: @Zinn I agree
	10:40am YETI BOB: Despair will get us nowhere!
	10:40am Trouble: uh oh @ zipperhead: hope you have water damage insurance
	10:44am john eck: Amen, @Yeti Bob
	10:45am Tuftum Yoderspa: Yee Haw. DJ This Is The Modern World with Trouble. I do like me some Parliament Funkadelic
	10:45am DJ Guin: Happy 92nd Birthday Shoutout to Vic Tayback! He ded so long ago now. Flo had to look for a new job.
	10:45am SeanG: there were FBI informants involved on Jan 6 -they knew what was going down- it was partly a staged event
	10:48am Zinn The Mood: But that’s just it @Woods. The absolute crux of the matter (all matters, in fact) is that, due to the pay to play, bribery involved with getting elected in this country, all politicians are completely utterly beholden to their “donors.” They are not in any way at all beholden to the voters. That’s a nice quaint fantasy of America Great Mythology that needs always to be called out and exposed by sunlight. Biden is absolutely just as corrupt. Goddamn, he’s a Republican (lite) anyway, who joined the Blue team. Doesn’t take much to pull on a different jersey over your back. Everyone of the top people in the Democratic Party are just as beholden to the same corporate criminals that own the Republican Party. This is all a charade, a news cycle headline grabber, that will be forgotten about a few months from now. And if it isn’t they’ll just trot out decrepit Joe again to repeat a speech he’s proactive over and over, written for him by a writer on the payroll, so that it can be kicked down the road hopefully a little further down the next time. I’ll just finish with this. The fact that in an ongoing gooabal pandemic America still can’t get its citizens universal free healthcare, while continuing to botch the whole thing with respect to not enough available testing and mixed messages - BY BOTH PARTIES, should tell you everything you’ll ever need to know about the legitimacy and efficacy of American governance. Until then no one will be able to convince me that we don’t live in a banana republic, no mater which party is in “power.” Albeit one with limitless cable tv, endless cheap goods made by child slave labor in SE Asia, plenty of fast food franchise chains, gleaming new banks on every corner and a fascist surveillance system that makes the Stasi and KGB look like babies.
	10:48am Ryansterlingvirtue: Trouble is one of the best things about Thursday. Loving this set. Thanks!
	10:48am john eck: @Sean G - gives us a legitimate source or go away
	10:50am ?: I think there is a reddit board somewhere that might be a better venue @zinn
	10:50am Tuftum Yoderspa: Is it too late in the year to wear white? Too late to wish a Happy New Year?
	10:50am StringOFperils: Going forward, best to keep focused on the incumbent's adversaries, as nice as it is to wrap oneself in the coziness of, instantly mythologized, iconic moments in partisan politics and patriotic euphoria. The opposition to what today's Whitehouse represents is vast and all too real, and in no way has ceased to exist; they will be looking for leadership with much more finesse and steel than the poppet that was defeated. That can be held a bay, at least, but there's a struggle ahead. I wish Mr. Biden well, and if I were like him, I'd pray.
	10:51am melinda: @john eck I don't think what Sean said is all that far fetched, actually
	10:52am YETI BOB: Melinda, it doesn't pass basic fact-checking, unless you get your "facts" from Matt Gaetz
	10:53am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I am specifically talking about the overturning of an election. Nothing more. And now I'll stop that because I'm already angry enough. P.S. How he heck did I not like Boz Scaggs back in the day?
	10:53am Juli: Trump ppl are Trumpers bc they are racists and want money and guns not that they couldn't have guns without Trump lmao ugh I deal w so many
	10:53am Tuftum Yoderspa: That Boz Scaggs is one of my all time favorite songs DJ Trouble @Zinn couldn't agree more, except that it's the same corrupt government that is enablling the scamdemic, murdering old and young alike for money and power.
	10:54am Juli: Why not tell ppl not to have babies?
	10:55am Juli: My life could be the funniest HBO show lmao
	10:56am Juli: I am like "I don't dig politics" and say Bye Byes
	10:56am Marie: Hey, digging the show. Such a nice vibe. Just had the thought, what the heck does Boz Scaggs mean, if anything.
	10:56am Too Obtuse: Meanwhile, back at the mothership -- BOZ!!!!!
	10:56am Tuftum Yoderspa: Juli I wouldn't mind tuning-in to watch you in primetime on Thursdays Sitcom hour, except that I don't have a TeeVee.
	10:57am Glistener MW: “Death, you’ve given me a rare and precious gift — The Complete Boz Scaggs. How DID you know?!??”
	10:58am Strandlund: This show has been FANTASTIC!!
	10:59am HyperDose: The left and right are two extremist sides of the same irresponsible and greedy coin...ditch the coin and invest in WFMU NFT's today! 🤪
	11:00am DJ Guin: the only token I am doin' is a nice hydroponic hybrid
	11:00am StringOFperils: Token if you got 'em.
	11:01am DJ Guin: token of my appreciation, Trouble
	11:01am Trouble: gracias@ strandlund, merci@ marie
	11:02am eva: seang is spot on.
	11:02am Zipperhead7: Yeah, this show is excellent. Thanks for the positive vibes, Trouble!
	11:03am eva: A staged event that went off script. horrible and dangerous.
	11:06am Tuftum Yoderspa: @Sean, it has been convincingly proven that Jan 6, was an FBI coordinated riot. Just as it's been effectively proven 9-11, Sandy Hook (no one died), Kennedys' murders, and countless other CIA / Mossad devious false flags were government administered. One only has to research which is a lot of work and getting harder with "freedom of press" USA's censorship and cancelation, regimes
	11:06am isawyermusic: Trouble is the best!
	11:07am Marie: That event sounds fantastic! I will look for events near me, Woodside, Queens.
	11:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have Silk Degrees on 8-Track. No kiddin'!
	11:07am isawyermusic: Cleo new to me! nice vocals
	11:08am ChukAmok: Cover band idea: 4 Non-Dionnes. Celebrating the catalog of 4 Non-Blondes in the style of Dionne Warwick. I'm done...
	11:09am Marie: Stevie is a master
	11:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): If you do enough research, you can also discover that water isn't actually wet.
	11:10am isawyermusic: That Funkadelic was a cool little surprise
	11:10am StringOFperils: That is so true. About the water.
	11:10am anne: i secretly loved freestyle in the 80s while being a post-punk/new-wave adherent teen
	11:10am CT Bland: The FBI ruled that it was not an insurrection. Furthermore most of those who are being charged with the capital riot are being held without bail in squalid conditions for the crime of trespassing. Let’s face it those who are currently in power are trying to use the capital riot along with racism and climate change to further their cause and pander for votes.
	11:10am Tuftum Yoderspa: GET OUT of THAT COAL MINE QUICK DJ Trouble!!
	11:11am Tuftum Yoderspa: @CT Youv've got a witness here!
	11:12am eva: lol! great show. y’all have a productive day.
	11:12am HyperDose: That album name is incredible
	11:13am StringOFperils: Does Gudrun Gut still run Monica Records out of Berlin? (p.s. not subversive code, just a question)
	11:13am Handy Haversack: Sinking in pearsand sounds like a pretty sweet way to go out, HyperDose.
	11:13am Trouble: thanks@zipperhead! btw i wrote you back but maybe it didn't go through?
	11:13am Zipperhead7: Stevie Wonder/bass -- check out this clip and you'll see why Miles stole his bass player Michael Henderson. www.youtube.com...
	11:14am Handy Haversack: SOp: It's a cold day for pontooning. The black cat walks at midnight.
	11:15am Zipperhead7: Didn't get the message, Trouble. Try Zipperhead7@gmail
	11:15am Trouble: i hope so @ stringofperils! i looooove her. long ago i invited her to come out to wfmu if she is ever in NYC
	11:15am Trouble: okeeedokeee@ zipperhead!
	11:15am Cal in Dothan: This is nice and crunchy
	11:16am StringOFperils: @Trouble > I imagine she'd love to visit WFMU. And thank you for replying! :)
	11:17am Tuftum Yoderspa: That is some bad-ass bass mastery at only 18 yo Zipperhead. Thanks
	11:18am isawyermusic: this is dope
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Parking rules are suspended today, Irene, if you're seeing this!
	11:23am CT Bland: I know that my comment will probably be taken off the chat board which is fine I understand. Just want to say that what makes our country great is that we all can voice our opinions whether we agree with them or not.
	11:23am HyperDose: And definitely don't park in any pearsand or Sarlacc pits!
	11:24am Handy Haversack: In Brooklyn? I'd kill to find a nice Sarlacc pit to park in! Are you kidding?
	11:25am Tuftum Yoderspa: I am very proud of DJ Trouble for her patience and bravery both @CT. Thank you Trouble :)
	11:28am Andres: Good morning! Really dug that last track! I didn’t know what stuzzicadenti meant but was definitely not expecting toothpick. :)
	11:28am Lucky: Omg, some people on the comments sound like patronizing jerks.
	11:29am Trouble: thanks for that translation @andres, me neither
	11:29am Tuftum Yoderspa:
	11:31am isawyermusic: this is the vibe i love right here. thank you for playing some gems
	11:31am P-90: @Lucky: also one or two of the commenters sound exactly like the Russian trolls that still turn up on social media. They’re everywhere.
	11:32am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Trouble: Thanks for the show. I officially achieved liftoff during the Stevie -> Double Dee & Steinski segment.
	11:32am gauche knee: @Zinn I agree with much of what you say but there needs to be accountability for Jan 6. Yes, there are many fires to put out but we can’t save the forest by ignoring those dousing accelerants.
	11:33am βrian: There are several open parking spots right now in front of our place, for what it's worth.
	11:33am gauche knee: “critique can become merely an expression of profound cynicism, which then works to sustain dominator culture.”
	11:33am DJ Guin: guess what? Russia sucks. seriously. cold weather. tacky culture. rampant alcoholism. China can eat some unclean ass, as well. Now. back to the music!
	11:33am ChukAmok: I've heard that the Sarlacc Pit market in Brooklyn is, somewhat ironically, through the roof. All those gentrifying/slowly digesting bounty hunters moving in...
	11:33am Marie: Hey CT Bland, videos from multiple sources do not lie. Get real with yourself. Do you ever read any of the larger newspapers?
	11:33am P-90: Also: has anyone named their band “Sarlaac Pits” yet?
	11:34am DJ Guin: take your Faux News ramblings elsewhere
	11:34am Handy Haversack: On our way, βrian! You'll, er, make lunch?
	11:35am DJ Guin: Sarlaac Pits was Zasu Pitts birth name :)
	11:35am Tuftum Yoderspa: There is a whole world of non-mainstream research waiting for those who wish to put the effort into digging below the official propaganda.
	11:36am βrian: Sure, if you don't mind reheated seafood chili and cornbread.
	11:39am Marie: What a lot of people do not seem to realize is that what you want to use as information sources are things that have been publicly vetted by a lot of people, not some singular person or group of anonymous people. Social media and the internet are full of a lot of misinformation.
	11:41am Tuftum Yoderspa: Official fact checkers have been shown to be wrong and tied financially to those they are supposedly 'fack checking'. Mainstream media and their support network are the greatest source of "disinformation".
	11:43am ChukAmok: Be that as it may, Tuftum Yoderspa, but there is still exists something called Objective Truth & Reality, and no amount of "disrupting" will ever carry with it the integrity to challenge or undermine that.
	11:44am john eck: There's facts. And there's "alternative facts"
	11:44am Mike W: My January 6 vibe at the moment is that the insurrection in 2025 will be ours, to overthrow a fascist government. CT ExtraBland probably hasn’t considered the fact that pretty much every prisoner outside of white-collar criminals is being held in squalid conditions. “The FBI ruled that...” LOLZ x infinity. Whaddaya got for us next, a trenchant quote from Kissinger? Really Trouble, the quality of the imitation Russian trolls on your chat has plummeted...
	11:45am Trouble: thanks for listening today!
	11:45am catching the last 30: on the west coast. Will stream the whole show as I do every week later. Always nice to have a moment with the live radio vibes
	11:47am YETI BOB: Hey Trouble, thanks for the show!! I did my best to ignore the trolls but it was a challenge today.
	11:48am adampsyche: 3/5 of my family died in the last year and this show makes me happy
	11:50am gauche knee: @ marie very true. Unfort, some people’s need to be “the one who knows more than others” is so strong they overlook facts. They know something is wrong with the world but are led astray by knee jerk reactions, misinfo , Internet hucksters , & ofc some are just fascist fanboys.
	11:50am Mike W: this Som Imaginario record is quietly one of the best Brazilian albums evah. Peace and comfort to you, Adampsyche...
	11:50am Ryansterlingvirtue: love this band
	11:51am headcleaner: very sorry to hear, adam
	11:51am PMD: Thankyou!
	11:51am Handy Haversack: This was and continues to be an absolute blazer, Trouble! Like sinking in hot pearsand! Many many thanks! Stay Troubled, everyone.
	11:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. "Support WFMU in 2022." That's my motto!
	11:51am Trouble: i am so sorry @Adampsyche. i am glad to hear that music helps
	11:51am adampsyche: ❤️
	11:51am Zipperhead7: Thanks for another great one, Trouble. Look forward to hearing from you
	11:52am adampsyche: ty
	11:52am Handy Haversack: Sympathy and solidarity, adampsyche.
	11:53am Mike W: My strong feeling is that the so-called discourse with the fascist GOP and literally everyone who backs them and the mealy-mouthed what-abouters is over and done. They want conflict. Pacifism may continue to suit the religious, but i’m not observant like that (and neither are the god-squadders on the right).
	11:53am gauche knee: @ Adam so sorry to hear, that is a lot. Sending strength. Listen to the music, be kind to yourself, & remember there’s no wrong way to grieve.
	11:53am βrian: Continental Subway is about to get underway: wfmu.org...
	11:53am Zinn The Mood: Thanks for the parking tip, Handy. If we ever get out of the place today might need that. Assuming that’s a precursor to the hopefully imminent (and not miscalculated) snowstorm being forecasted to begin tonight. Fingers crossed for the snow… Boil this conversation down: in an atmosphere of anxiety and mistrust, some of it legit, the best way to mitigate the fear of “losing our democracy/this is fascism/we’re a nation of law and order” would be to guarantee universal healthcare to everyone. In that case you’d never, never, have to worry about another Trump or Jan 6 happening again. Taking the sting off economic woes and the feeling of being ripped off by insurance and Big Pharma companies wouldn’t magically cure racism. But it would most definitely steady things and get People’s faith restored in government. Speeches, posturing and other performative nonsense ultimately feed the powder keg. I’m not at all down with that Sandy Hook “staged” thing. I don’t doubt and am rather certain that the government, under the aegis of the FBI and CIA, has run all kinds of psy-ops and assassination programs (there’s plenty of evidence, Operation Gladio, Fred Hampton, MLK, Malcolm, Bretton Woods, etc). Misinformation from QAnon, Fox, MSNBC and CNN is rampant. A good adage from Mark Twain seems an appropriate reminder today: “If you don’t read the newspaper you’re uniformed. If you read the newspaper you’re misinformed.” Thanks as ever, Trouble. Love that painting on playlist page too!
	11:53am Miss G: Turning on the radio at the best time! Thank you Trouble for Nikki Giovanni!!!
	11:54am βrian: WWll — was it staged??
	11:55am john eck: Thank you Trouble for the awesome show today. We are having a snowstorm where I live and it's beautiful. The show today has been a great soundtrack for it!
	11:55am listener 126464: Thank you Trouble!
	11:55am DJ Guin: Korea and Vietnam were
	11:55am Marie: Thanks, Gauche. @Bland-And nothing is perfect, including mainstream media, but it's still better than anonymous freaks and bad actors on the internet. Great show Trouble, thanks!
	11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: NASA faked the D-Day landing, βrian.
	11:56am Marie: BTW, I think the moon is a big piece of cheese
	11:56am Tuftum Yoderspa: @Brian actually, yes it was engineered to happen so was WWl by the usual suspects. Als Iraq war
	11:57am gauche knee: Amazing show & love the Giovanni! Thanks Trouble! Be well, fellow FMUers!
	11:57am oshiwoshi: lovely show - mercy buckets!
	11:57am DJ Guin: Pearl Harbor was known in advance and allowed to occur to rally the US to join the war...it effectively ended the Depression
	11:57am YETI BOB: "Information literacy" is a skill that needs to be taught in schools - how to evaluate competing claims and decide which to trust. Many people seem so ready to believe claims that don't stand up the slightest bit of scrutiny. I believe a lot of our problems are due to failures of the US education system. (How's that for condescending?)
	11:57am βrian: I vote for Comté. It takes me to the moon, anyway.
	11:58am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	11:58am DJ Guin: @YETI - as a recovering educator - i agree 100%
	11:58am P-90: Thanks for the musical balm. It helps.
	11:58am Mike W: Zinn — which newspaper do you think Twain was talking about? Otherwise, I agree heartily that free healthcare would severely undercut a lot of the rank-and-file (i.e., the citizenry) who back the GOP. You want a strong country? Free healthcare and education for all. For starters.
	11:58am Tuftum Yoderspa: Your right Yeti, but forget about critical thinking being taught in school.
	11:59am P-90: @YETI: yes! “Information literacy”
	11:59am DJ Guin: Twain was alive during Yellow Journalism, kids. read a fucking book ffs
	11:59am HyperDose: Lovely ending! Thanks, Trouble =]
	12:00pm βrian: Please add child care, por favor.
	12:00pm Zinn The Mood: Hi-energy dance “Only Love Can Break Your Heart” just freaked out my little kids, who stood in the middle of the kitchen slowly smiling… Used to play that one on guitar and sing to them all the time when they were babies. St
	12:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks!!!
	12:00pm john eck: @Yeti Bob - totally agree with what you said. I couldn't have put it better. To add to it, it seems to me a lot of people make up their mind on any given issue without educating themselves on the issue first. Once their mind is made up, they "research" until they find something, anything, to back their position up.
	12:00pm P-90: Yes, Twain was joking about issues with 19th century journalism.
	12:07pm Avrilinmay: once again, a pleasure to catch your show live, and hear that background shirping
