	9:05am riley: Good morning! Grey here in Asheville. Thanks for radio sunshine!
	9:07am Glistener MW: 🎵Bobbbbb Villa 🎵
	9:07am Glistener MW: Good morning, Trouble & all! ☀️
	9:07am HyperDose: Hard to get up and feed them when you don't want the repeated leg hugs to end, Handy! Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:07am Glistener MW: Sun Ra makes any day sunnier 🌞 thank you!!!
	9:09am LastVisibleDog: OK so this track isn't on the original Omniverse lp, interesting.
	9:10am Slaboch: Tuned in from our rental car in New Orleans! Sounding great this morning!
	9:10am TDK60: Hello DJ Trouble. Snowing in north Manhattan.
	9:10am Trouble: good new orleans morning to you @ slaboch!
	9:11am dale: i thought this was janitor of lunacy at first. beautiful.
	9:12am Handy Haversack: Still rain down here in the coastal latitudes, TDK60.
	9:13am dale: is this a church organ?
	9:15am TDK60: Hi Handy. I think the day in the Jersey City Metro has snow, sleet, rain in the forecast.
	9:15am Trouble: @dale: quick perusal of the booklet lists n oinstrumentaion for alice
	9:15am Handy Haversack: Wintry Mixx. A supervillian if ever there was one.
	9:16am Lake Hiawatha Doug: Already got my ticket to see Ravi play his parents’ music this Feb. Praying it won’t get cancelled.
	9:16am Juli: My friend Melody just made a bag or two that looked like these hehe W her AI digi print hehe Absolutely beautiful show as always Trouble!
	9:18am steveo: wonderful to be listening. radar says snow but my eyes say no
	9:18am Trouble: merci@juli
	9:18am TDK60: Dale: I just checked Wickedpea. They only mention Alice's piano and harp. No organ is mentioned; an real omission as that's obviously some sort of organ.
	9:19am dale: wish i had my koss headphones on.
	9:20am Passaic River Blues: @Dale & TDK60: Discogs creates Alice as playing synths, harp, and organ (in addition to songwriting, some vocals, and arrangements). No details on what kind of organ.
	9:21am Passaic River Blues: *credits
	9:22am TDK60: Thanks Passaic R.B., was just going to check there.
	9:26am Alice in Wonderland: Hi Trouble, the Alice track seemed to affect my clock - it stopped ticking! Checking it out still, not the batteries...curiouser and curiouser!
	9:26am dale: i had the paul mauriat 45 when i was a kid. loved this song.
	9:27am Webhamster Henry: Rufus is Blue! Hi Modern World inhabitors!
	9:27am Handy Haversack: Why am I learning about Rufus Harley only now?!
	9:28am karlward: I seem to be picking up some Irish music mixed in with my jazz, must be interference
	9:28am Webhamster Henry: @Handy Rufus is a WFMU staple!
	9:29am Handy Haversack: The scales are falling off my eyes! And my sound eyes!
	9:30am Alice in Wonderland: Echoes of Peaches En Regalia.
	9:30am karlward: There it is again
	9:32am Passaic River Blues: @Dale & TDK60: it may have been a Wurlitzer (she was fond of hers and lots of her 70s recordings featured it) and it was used on the "Turiya Sings" record, recorded a little before the records encompassing "The Ecstatic Music of..." reissue. But I don't know. My cousin the organ fiend would know within seconds of hearing; he's one of those guys.
	9:32am Peter from Dover NJ: Good morning Trouble and troublemakers. Rockin' start to the show!
	9:32am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Cozy grey weather, though another disappointment with the anticipation of some snow. Heh. Didn’t realize it was Thursday… Had opted to keep kids home from school last week and half of this because of this next pandemic wave. Was just watching an excellent Paul Robeson talk by Gerald Horne, when it occurred to me to take a peek in. Got chicory and espresso made in the AeroPress thing, a mammoth book by Robin D. G. Kelley on Thelonious Monk on the kitchen table waiting for me to get back to. Surprisingly pretty rocking set there at the moment, Trouble.
	9:33am Passaic River Blues: @Handy: assets.atlasobscura.com...
	9:34am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:35am Handy Haversack: Oh, I know, PRB! I'm in the Discogs weeds already!
	9:35am Zinn The Mood: Damn. Sorry to have missed the Alice Coltrane this morning. Trouble is the reason I’ve become a fan of hers (thanks, T)!
	9:36am nathan: well this fits the ominous mood today...
	9:37am TDK60: Passaic R.B.: That's probably it then, her Wurlitzer organ. Wikipedia says that track recorded at her home.
	9:38am dale: the sustain was pretty long for a pipe organ so i'll bet you're right about the wurlitzer passaic.
	9:38am melinda: howdy friends!
	9:40am steveo: Zinn, Trouble is the reason I've become a fan of many, many things :)
	9:40am Robm: Good morning fellow trouble makers and music geeks
	9:41am dale: herro merinda.
	9:42am Zinn The Mood: @steveo That’s for sure! But Alice does rank high among those many things for me.
	9:42am Juli: Must dance clean.
	9:43am steveo: flakes are falling dancing clean across the land
	9:44am marcel: snow here is like suspended in the air because of weird winds. good soundtrack for this strange time anomaly
	9:44am karlward: I extremely like this
	9:45am Andres: Good morning! Beautiful sounds to start the day with!
	9:46am Tom from Stirling: The continuing wonderful sounds of Julianna Barwick. Following the wonderful sounds of Jessica Moss.
	9:46am listener james from westwood: Barwick goes nicely with snow days.
	9:46am Handy Haversack: WHHenry, it's weird how things land. I was looking at playlist search results for RH, and there are many shows I know I was listening to. What happened? Distraction? Work? WFMU was definitely trying to get me to notice him. Persistence pays off, it seems. Trouble: typos in "rufus" and "disillusioned" and "contemplation" (for later or whenever).
	9:47am Zipperhead7: Hi folks! lovely ethereal music and it's snowing pretty hard here -- about 40 miles NW of NYC
	9:48am Tom from Stirling: Years ago Julianna Barwick made the trek to the station and performed live in the studio. It was, how you say, wonderful.
	9:50am waters7: :)
	9:52am waters7: Linda!
	9:52am Handy Haversack: It's kittening pretty hard in here. The weather reports didn't mention that!
	9:52am Trouble: hey @ zipperhead: I sent you an e-mail at your personal address, hoping you received it.
	9:53am rx scabin: Hello, everyone.
	9:55am Juli: Must dance cook and clean.
	9:56am Zipperhead7: Trouble! Checked my spam folder and there it was. Will be in touch later today. Thanks!!!
	9:58am Trouble: super@zipperhead!
	9:59am TDK60: Juli, careful dancing while cooking.
	10:01am βrian: Je suis arrivé parmis les oiseaux. Quelle belle chance !
	10:01am steveo: do not dance inside of a boiling cauldron dance instead on the head of a pin
	10:02am karlward: Barwick set on This is the Modern World: www.wfmu.org...
	10:03am βrian: The temp has crept up to 0℉. Skies are bright blue.
	10:05am Tom from Stirling: I remember Julianna Barwick played at the station right after one of those big hurricanes.
	10:06am Trouble: thanks for the typing notifications @handy. i am wearing a giant bandaid due to a run away rotary cutter so today's typing will be worse that ever
	10:06am SheWolf: Agreed about the weather app. Mine said less than an inch, then 1-3, now it's back to less than 1 inch. It snowed for a few hours here (just a tad west of JC) but has stopped now.
	10:07am Handy Haversack: Eek, Trouble! Sorry to hear it!
	10:08am Juli: Cooking es done hehe Sometimes I despise eating unless it is super clean: but that is so pricey: but I must: I must
	10:10am Tom from Stirling: ....she performed "Prizewinning" if my memory serves me well. It was wonderful.
	10:11am βrian: Oh, kitty loves Dee Dee.
	10:13am Zinn The Mood: Man, that shift to the ride cymbal was like a shimmering, light spring sun shower.
	10:14am Juli: Needed this song rn hehe
	10:14am MentalDrift: Really enjoying the program
	10:15am ?: When I look at the playlist image and then look outside and at the temperature -14c/7f (-21c/-6f windchill), I can't help but think of a jumble of warm pyjamas and duvets. Hot coffee is helping the situation.
	10:15am Andres: ? me
	10:18am Webhamster Henry: These Crepuscular Rays are very daxophonic.
	10:18am Pale Son: Oh boy, looks like I missed a lot of great stuff in my stopped meeting. But also, thoroughly enjoying this, so all is not lost.
	10:18am HyperDose: Keeping warm in the analog tube of life
	10:18am Pale Son: *stoopid
	10:21am Handy Haversack: Snow or no snow, they suspended ASP rules in NYC for snow operations! I don't know what kind of tiny-ass scalpel you need to operate on snow -- much less wintry mixx -- but I'll take the win!
	10:23am waters7: Love this, "convalescence". sounds a little like Johnny Flynn
	10:25am βrian: I'm waiting for that epic Parking Trilogy, @Handy. Nobody knows that world like you!
	10:26am marcel: beautiful song
	10:27am Handy Haversack: Maybe I could get Irene to provide a blurb for the jacket, βrian!
	10:29am βrian: We lament that we have to park the second car in the driveway, exposed to the elements. sniff
	10:31am Marie: Enjoying the show greatly
	10:31am marcel: ohhhh i love minnie riperton
	10:32am marcel: how are those high notes even humanly possible
	10:32am HyperDose: Someone's tea is ready
	10:32am karlward: The whistle register
	10:33am ratso: thank you
	10:33am goes211: Staying in with you all and FMU!!!! Sounds great, Trouble!
	10:33am Trouble: merci goes 211!
	10:34am Andres: If I may share an obituary from a year ago that I came across while down the rabbit hole with my coffee. Left me with a smile. https://www.saltwire.com/halifax/obituaries/margaret-m-deadder-50466/
	10:35am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Greetings Trouble, fellow Troublemakers. Shaking out the cobwebs...went to bed too late last night; was up taking care of Mom paperwork stuff and had dinner way too late because what I was cooking took longer than I thought it would. OTOH I now have a leftover delicious smothered monster porkchop. Cooked down half a head of cabbage, a red onion, an apple, added a spice blend S&P, a splash of ACV and a splash of white grape juice (leftover) and let that cook to sludge and let two pork chops have a nice long simmer in it. Fantastic and my apartment at least smells like a fancy restaurant (and I just smell, period--jumped into yesterday's clothes for work). Sigh.
	10:36am marcel: thanks karlward, did not know that term, feel like the special thing about minnie is she makes it sound so effortless
	10:36am Passaic River Blues: Oh, Yasmine...
	10:37am HyperDose: "In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you do something nice for somebody else unexpectedly, and without explanation." Adding that to the palm pilot!
	10:37am Zinn The Mood: Minnie really was an extraordinary singer, huh? Remember being a little kid riding with the family in the car listening to Top 40 radio, and then hearing right after her mega hit played that she had died. Was hard to process as a wee lad, hearing that gorgeous tune, so full of life and beauty, and realizing that she was gone. How soon after “Loving You” do she pass? Incidentally, I recently heard on WKCR’s reggae a fun, uptempo version called “Loving Jah.”
	10:40am melinda: @Threemoons sounds delicious
	10:40am steveo: nyc daily covid cases lowest number since 12/17 hudson county, nj 12/22
	10:41am David: DJ Trouble this is such an amazing show today. (As it always is when I get the chance to tune in) Much much gratitude.
	10:42am Trouble: thanks @david!
	10:44am marcel: what a groove
	10:44am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	10:46am drr: At the risk of saying something obvious, do we all know that comedian Maya Rudolph is Minnie Ripertion's daughter?
	10:47am drr: I was surprised to learn that.
	10:47am drr: need an edit button.
	10:48am JD in Mtl: Thanks for the great music, as always...
	10:48am HyperDose: Top o' the morning, Greg! Yeah Threemoons, we're going to have to exchange recipes at some point.
	10:49am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Hyperdose indeed, I have a lot of back pocket "no recipe recipes" and could always use more!
	10:50am marcel: that song kind of reminded me of this one here (mostly because of the title(s) to be fair) africanacidisthefuture.bandcamp.com...
	10:51am TDK60: Right on, Stevie.
	10:51am Claire from Montclair: Stevie knows what’s up!
	10:52am Handy Haversack: That obit was really sweet, Andres.
	10:53am Kiki Daou: I’m always wondering how One’s voting rights are being violated today?
	10:55am other guy: I am wondering what's going to happen when the filibuster is gone and the R's get the majority
	10:56am Passaic River Blues: Manchin and Sinema stay true to their beliefs that protecting voting rights < BS Senate rule radicalized by GOP in the 1990s and will be altered to pass a national abortion ban the second the GOP regains control of the Senate and WH.
	10:56am Marie: Stevie!
	10:56am Zinn The Mood: Think Phil Lynott was probably inspired by this righteous tune to record his “Ode To A Black Man” on his 1st solo album “Solo in Soho.”
	10:57am Trouble: when a municipality makes the voting hours shorter, so that working people can not make it to the polls, when they offer less polls so people have to stand in long lines (and are prohibited from drinking water!) , when polls are unreachable by mass transit, etc... these are some ways that voting rights are being tampered with.
	10:57am Kiki Daou: @other guy. Seems like the filibuster isn’t going anywhere.
	10:58am marcel: ok thanks so much for the birdsong cut, i just looked into the compilation, awesome stuff. ive never been to america, main reason i really want to go someday are the hummingbirds and the cardinals!!
	10:59am Marie: Manchin and Sinema are self-centered, not very bright, and prolly being given a lot of conservative (and racist?) dark money, imho
	10:59am Juli: This just made me cry haha I guess I am in a mood today
	10:59am @kiki: probably best for us all in the long run
	10:59am Kiki Daou: All good points trouble. Are you also in favor of a photo ID requirement to vote?
	11:00am Handy Haversack: marcel, I dreamed of a cardinal last night, flying across the snow in back of our bldg.! Hummingbirds and cardinals truly are some of the greatest things this country has to offer.
	11:00am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Shorter voting hours, less places to vote, voter roll purges, gerrymandering. It's a dark day for American democracy, which is circling the drain.
	11:03am Trouble: no i am i'm not in favor of photo id's to vote.
	11:03am Kiki Daou: @woods. The state of Georgia has more days and hours of operation in order to vote, mail in balloting etc. In fact a lot more than the state of Delaware!
	11:03am Marie: BTW, important to remember that the Supreme Court gutted the voting rights act a few years ago. Apparently, John Roberts always thought it was a bad law. Some of these people are so out of touch with reality and maybe racists?
	11:04am Kiki Daou: Then how can we ensure voter integrity?
	11:06am Trouble: aferro.org...
	11:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Internet voting, maybe?
	11:07am marcel: @handy thank you, i love that, they're just such an amazing bright red especially against the white snow. love the winter birds round here but most of them are more about playing it safe and blending in. can't blame them
	11:07am Kiki Daou: @ Marie. How does racism equate and all of this?
	11:09am HyperDose: Winston, they're playing your song!
	11:09am oshiwoshi: this is the kind of groove for big hairy animals to scratch themselves against big trees
	11:09am Passaic River Blues: @Kiki: gerrymandered electoral maps making state legislature super-majorities permanent; installing partisan election deniers in offices controlling election procedures and vote counting; restricting early voting; closing polling places in Democratic majority precincts/counties; making it a criminal offense to distribute water to voters waiting on long lines that are the direct result of strategically closing polling places in targeted areas; etc. Voter ID laws are a stalking horse for restricting access to voting, not so-called election integrity (GOP is very explicit about this in internal discussions). The actual incidence of voter fraud is infinitesimal (e.g., there were FOUR DOCUMENTED CASES of voter fraud in the 2016 election).
	11:10am Marie: The effects (how they impact reality) overwhelmingly make it more difficult for people with less money to vote. And more people of color have lower incomes
	11:11am Marie: Hey Kiki, why don't you read something about it?
	11:11am rx scabin: What PRB said.
	11:11am HyperDose: Agreed, oshiwoshi. Heavy brass = big boy vibes
	11:11am oshiwoshi: oh my > going to get a speeding ticket
	11:12am βrian: (What PRB said)²
	11:13am Greg from ZONE 5: This ramp is FYAH!!
	11:14am Passaic River Blues: I always associate this as a Duane Train jam.
	11:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): That is one nasty (and tasty) guitar riff.
	11:16am Kiki Daou: @PRB. wouldn’t the voter ID requirement and or a signature on a mail in ballot ensure election integrity? That’s what we really need to work on so there is no fraud and or cheating in elections.
	11:17am marcel: oh god this is in the fifa 21 soundtrack. not understanding why my defense doesnt do what i tell it to do flashbacks
	11:17am βrian: @WoodsOfNH: Now explain the pronunciation of those words to an ESL student …
	11:18am Trouble: many many states and the federal government have assured us that voting fraud ( ie someone showing up to vote instead of another) is practically non existent. it's a red herring to push attention away from gerry mandering etc.
	11:19am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @βrian: Yikes. I'll have to ask my ESL-teacher daughter in law about that. Hah.
	11:20am HyperDose: Awe come on, Trouble. Don't leave yet. You've got another good 40mins to go! 😜
	11:21am Kiki Daou: @marie. Anyone has the ability to vote either by mail or to travel to their respective polling place. Rich or poor
	11:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Sorry, my troll food receptacle is empty.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: I think we're hitting diminishing returns with the measured, instructive responses to trolling here.
	11:21am Guido from Cologne: is this the original of "na na hey hey kiss him goodbye"?
	11:21am TVP: Feels a little weird hearing this song outside of baseball season.
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: It's the classic "I know you are but what am I" tactics, straight out of the Roy Cohn/Trump playbook.
	11:23am Carmichael: No Guido, the original was by Steam, a studio band.
	11:23am sphere: To prevent DJs from playing the B-side, some producers decided to make the worst song they could for the B. The result was Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye).
	11:24am rx scabin: Non-ginzbased Martinis should be discouraged. Yes or no.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Greg, often combined with the dreaded "I'm rubber, you're glue" maneuver as well! Hard agree, rx scabin!
	11:24am Juli: Crying at everything now lol Just cried at a Hindu wedding between two women lol What's next a baby commercial? Prolly
	11:24am sphere: Gin and martini are inextricably entwined.
	11:25am Listening Out There: Great tunes, as usual...
	11:25am Greg from ZONE 5: @Handy: Take one to know one!
	11:25am Passaic River Blues: @Kiki Daou: the second measure you mentioned is not in issue. There isn't a state in the country that doesn't require a valid signature on a mail-in ballot--to state otherwise is false. What the GOP is doing on a state level is introduce additional requirements (e.g., providing additional ID for ballot application AND the ballot itself). As to the former, you're ignoring my point. Voter fraud ISN'T a problem because it's statistically super rare. The GOP keeps pretending it's an issue in order to justify measures that make it harder to vote.
	11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @jule: There's trouble if you cry at a Depends commercial.
	11:26am Juli: I do have a sore spot for the elderly lol
	11:27am steveo: my birthday is coming up; hoping for a tuba
	11:27am Handy Haversack: But they all are totally subsumed by "whoever smelt it dealt it"! Playground rules. We have learned nothing.
	11:27am Passaic River Blues: @Handy: you're right. Disengaging...
	11:27am Carmichael: Or one of those Sarah McLachlan dead dog commercials.
	11:27am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Gah, just had to do a full reboot of my machine. Ugh.
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: All of those sounds are made by a theremin—even the tuba sounds!
	11:28am karlward: Queued up for later reading: protectdemocracy.org...
	11:28am marcel: 'Most cases of "Havana syndrome" not caused by foreign power, says CIA'. so no Soviet instrument behind it... unlike this song....... he he
	11:28am steveo: really????? wow
	11:29am Juli: Oh those get me every time Carmichael lol
	11:29am ChukAmok: Again: it boggles the mind that disingenuous trolls would stoop so low as to waste their time and ours on this comments board. Give 'em the boot, or nothing at all.
	11:29am rx scabin: @Handy Haversack A favorite family saying: a skunk can't smell its own stink. You would be surpised at how easy it is to work into conversation. Try it.
	11:29am Handy Haversack: I have been playing D&D for forty years, PRB. Fire and acid are the only ways to make sure a troll doesn't regenerate. This I know. Juli: kitten pix available in my profile for instant cheer-up! Greg: AMAZEBALLS!
	11:29am HyperDose: @🌙🌙🌙 That's been known to happen. WFMU is just too awesome for some audio cards to handle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	11:30am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): There's a great (if depressing) essay about fascism by Umberto Eco that I read not long ago. Frightening, is what it is.
	11:30am marcel: reading up on Leon Theremin's biography now. what a life
	11:32am marcel: he invented the first soviet TV
	11:32am Mick: Yet another in a seemingly endless stream of brilliant shows, Trouble. Thanks for the Theremin (and, you know, all the other stuff)
	11:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Hyperdose lol. @HH need to grok those pix. OTOH finally made some coffee while rig rebooting; amazing Gulf Crescent-style coffee with cardamom added in.
	11:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): OK, I've gotta go eat my warmed up nachos while figuring out how I can get my dead parents to vote in the next election. See you all in Hook-land.
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Refusing to pretend that cryptofascist trolls even have a logical position to engage with is what got poor Belbo killed in Foucault's Pendulum. But also made him invincible. Eco knows. Ma gavte la nata.
	11:35am Passaic River Blues: @Woods: That "Ur-Fascism" essay from the NYRB should be required reading. I regularly check in with it to confirm, yes, we are going to hell in a handbasket. www.pegc.us... www.openculture.com...
	11:37am Andres: Keith Hudson, always great!
	11:37am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Forgot to mention -- DO keep giving Gamestoria your business! Remember how I said that I sold him my full Magic the Gathering collection and I took a bit of a loss because he really didn't have the full value of stuff I was selling? Last month, I get a pop up from PayPal that there is a $700 payment to me with Chinese characters on the sender name. I thought it was a scam and panicked, but then got an email a few minutes later from the owner saying that he wanted to pay me the remainder of what he felt he owed me. Came totally unexpectedly; I had no idea that he even had money to spend again in this pandemic. Apparently my rares and stuff helped him get his MTG tournaments back up on their feet by offering them as prizes! An honest businessman who remembered me from over the summer!
	11:38am Trouble: gracias@mick!
	11:38am Marie: what a voice
	11:38am Handy Haversack: WOW, Threemoons, that is absolutely fantastic! What a mensch!
	11:40am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH YUP. Kevin is the owner. Super Mensch indeed! I am SO happy that my old clutter was able to materially help a small business stay afloat!
	11:41am rx scabin: Trouble, thank you for your (usual) best.
	11:42am turkeycutie: Ugh this is my fav Linda martell <3
	11:42am HyperDose: Full circle moment!
	11:42am Trouble: i had to turn this song off in the studio, it is making me cry
	11:44am turkeycutie: I cry too at this song!!
	11:44am loquat: I hear you. That song is a killer. #feelz
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Threemoons, I will tell my friends who play currently in-print "official" D&D and have kids who play Magick. The store doesn't have much for me since all the publishers I use are annoyingly indie! And we have a board game moratorium until we figure out how to bend space enough to store more things in here.
	11:47am Zinn The Mood: Hate to say it. “Inverted Totalitarianism” is the kind of fascism under which America has been imprisoned for the last 40, or maybe even 60-80 years. But fret not, folks. We’ll still be able to order treats to our hearts’ desire off of Amazon. Of course they’ll mostly be made by child slave labor in SE Asia. But hey what would modern feudalism be without cable tv and access to endless cheap, disposable goods. Which is about all the USA can guarantee you. Don’t look for anything else. We’ll just be happy consumers! www.truthdig.com...
	11:47am TVP: Yeah, I'm a White Sox fan, Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye has special meaning for us. There's a long tradition of playing that song whenever the Sox get the other team's pitcher pulled out of the game.
	11:47am loquat: Cry when I hear to sir w love, ooh la la, sweet Melissa, golden lady and that pure prairie league song among otherssss
	11:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH I have my copy of Pizza Imperium somewhere! After the Plague we should get a pizza and play it...anyway, back to work...
	11:48am Andres: Na Na Hey Hey also a fave of Montreal Canadiens fans at playoffs. Probably where I heard it first as a kid.

	11:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Voting info found at www.vote.org, at least until it's declared a terrorist organization.
	11:51am Mick: Trouble, I know you're in JC not Hoboken, and at risk of opening a whole can of worms, are you familiar with the Hoboken High School budget referendum question coming up? Anyone else out there have a good handle on it?

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.

	9:07am Glistener MW: Sun Ra makes any day sunnier 🌞 thank you!!!
	9:09am LastVisibleDog: OK so this track isn't on the original Omniverse lp, interesting.
	9:10am Slaboch: Tuned in from our rental car in New Orleans! Sounding great this morning!
	9:10am TDK60: Hello DJ Trouble. Snowing in north Manhattan.
	9:10am Trouble: good new orleans morning to you @ slaboch!
	9:11am dale: i thought this was janitor of lunacy at first. beautiful.
	9:12am Handy Haversack: Still rain down here in the coastal latitudes, TDK60.
	9:13am dale: is this a church organ?
	9:15am TDK60: Hi Handy. I think the day in the Jersey City Metro has snow, sleet, rain in the forecast.
	9:15am Trouble: @dale: quick perusal of the booklet lists n oinstrumentaion for alice
	9:15am Handy Haversack: Wintry Mixx. A supervillian if ever there was one.
	9:16am Lake Hiawatha Doug: Already got my ticket to see Ravi play his parents’ music this Feb. Praying it won’t get cancelled.
	9:16am Juli: My friend Melody just made a bag or two that looked like these hehe W her AI digi print hehe Absolutely beautiful show as always Trouble!
	9:18am steveo: wonderful to be listening. radar says snow but my eyes say no
	9:18am Trouble: merci@juli
	9:18am TDK60: Dale: I just checked Wickedpea. They only mention Alice's piano and harp. No organ is mentioned; an real omission as that's obviously some sort of organ.
	9:19am dale: wish i had my koss headphones on.
	9:20am Passaic River Blues: @Dale & TDK60: Discogs creates Alice as playing synths, harp, and organ (in addition to songwriting, some vocals, and arrangements). No details on what kind of organ.
	9:21am Passaic River Blues: *credits
	9:22am TDK60: Thanks Passaic R.B., was just going to check there.
	9:26am Alice in Wonderland: Hi Trouble, the Alice track seemed to affect my clock - it stopped ticking! Checking it out still, not the batteries...curiouser and curiouser!
	9:26am dale: i had the paul mauriat 45 when i was a kid. loved this song.
	9:27am Webhamster Henry: Rufus is Blue! Hi Modern World inhabitors!
	9:27am Handy Haversack: Why am I learning about Rufus Harley only now?!
	9:28am karlward: I seem to be picking up some Irish music mixed in with my jazz, must be interference
	9:28am Webhamster Henry: @Handy Rufus is a WFMU staple!
	9:29am Handy Haversack: The scales are falling off my eyes! And my sound eyes!
	9:30am Alice in Wonderland: Echoes of Peaches En Regalia.
	9:30am karlward: There it is again
	9:32am Passaic River Blues: @Dale & TDK60: it may have been a Wurlitzer (she was fond of hers and lots of her 70s recordings featured it) and it was used on the "Turiya Sings" record, recorded a little before the records encompassing "The Ecstatic Music of..." reissue. But I don't know. My cousin the organ fiend would know within seconds of hearing; he's one of those guys.
	9:32am Peter from Dover NJ: Good morning Trouble and troublemakers. Rockin' start to the show!
	9:32am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Cozy grey weather, though another disappointment with the anticipation of some snow. Heh. Didn’t realize it was Thursday… Had opted to keep kids home from school last week and half of this because of this next pandemic wave. Was just watching an excellent Paul Robeson talk by Gerald Horne, when it occurred to me to take a peek in. Got chicory and espresso made in the AeroPress thing, a mammoth book by Robin D. G. Kelley on Thelonious Monk on the kitchen table waiting for me to get back to. Surprisingly pretty rocking set there at the moment, Trouble.
	9:33am Passaic River Blues: @Handy: assets.atlasobscura.com...
	9:34am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:35am Handy Haversack: Oh, I know, PRB! I'm in the Discogs weeds already!
	9:35am Zinn The Mood: Damn. Sorry to have missed the Alice Coltrane this morning. Trouble is the reason I’ve become a fan of hers (thanks, T)!
	9:36am nathan: well this fits the ominous mood today...
	9:37am TDK60: Passaic R.B.: That's probably it then, her Wurlitzer organ. Wikipedia says that track recorded at her home.
	9:38am dale: the sustain was pretty long for a pipe organ so i'll bet you're right about the wurlitzer passaic.
	9:38am melinda: howdy friends!
	9:40am steveo: Zinn, Trouble is the reason I've become a fan of many, many things :)
	9:40am Robm: Good morning fellow trouble makers and music geeks
	9:41am dale: herro merinda.
	9:42am Zinn The Mood: @steveo That’s for sure! But Alice does rank high among those many things for me.
	9:42am Juli: Must dance clean.
	9:43am steveo: flakes are falling dancing clean across the land
	9:44am marcel: snow here is like suspended in the air because of weird winds. good soundtrack for this strange time anomaly
	9:44am karlward: I extremely like this
	9:45am Andres: Good morning! Beautiful sounds to start the day with!
	9:46am Tom from Stirling: The continuing wonderful sounds of Julianna Barwick. Following the wonderful sounds of Jessica Moss.
	9:46am listener james from westwood: Barwick goes nicely with snow days.
	9:46am Handy Haversack: WHHenry, it's weird how things land. I was looking at playlist search results for RH, and there are many shows I know I was listening to. What happened? Distraction? Work? WFMU was definitely trying to get me to notice him. Persistence pays off, it seems. Trouble: typos in "rufus" and "disillusioned" and "contemplation" (for later or whenever).
	9:47am Zipperhead7: Hi folks! lovely ethereal music and it's snowing pretty hard here -- about 40 miles NW of NYC
	9:48am Tom from Stirling: Years ago Julianna Barwick made the trek to the station and performed live in the studio. It was, how you say, wonderful.
	9:50am waters7: :)
	9:52am waters7: Linda!
	9:52am Handy Haversack: It's kittening pretty hard in here. The weather reports didn't mention that!
	9:52am Trouble: hey @ zipperhead: I sent you an e-mail at your personal address, hoping you received it.
	9:53am rx scabin: Hello, everyone.
	9:55am Juli: Must dance cook and clean.
	9:56am Zipperhead7: Trouble! Checked my spam folder and there it was. Will be in touch later today. Thanks!!!
	9:58am Trouble: super@zipperhead!
	9:59am TDK60: Juli, careful dancing while cooking.
	10:01am βrian: Je suis arrivé parmis les oiseaux. Quelle belle chance !
	10:01am steveo: do not dance inside of a boiling cauldron dance instead on the head of a pin
	10:02am karlward: Barwick set on This is the Modern World: www.wfmu.org...
	10:03am βrian: The temp has crept up to 0℉. Skies are bright blue.
	10:05am Tom from Stirling: I remember Julianna Barwick played at the station right after one of those big hurricanes.
	10:06am Trouble: thanks for the typing notifications @handy. i am wearing a giant bandaid due to a run away rotary cutter so today's typing will be worse that ever
	10:06am SheWolf: Agreed about the weather app. Mine said less than an inch, then 1-3, now it's back to less than 1 inch. It snowed for a few hours here (just a tad west of JC) but has stopped now.
	10:07am Handy Haversack: Eek, Trouble! Sorry to hear it!
	10:08am Juli: Cooking es done hehe Sometimes I despise eating unless it is super clean: but that is so pricey: but I must: I must
	10:10am Tom from Stirling: ....she performed "Prizewinning" if my memory serves me well. It was wonderful.
	10:11am βrian: Oh, kitty loves Dee Dee.
	10:13am Zinn The Mood: Man, that shift to the ride cymbal was like a shimmering, light spring sun shower.
	10:14am Juli: Needed this song rn hehe
	10:14am MentalDrift: Really enjoying the program
	10:15am ?: When I look at the playlist image and then look outside and at the temperature -14c/7f (-21c/-6f windchill), I can't help but think of a jumble of warm pyjamas and duvets. Hot coffee is helping the situation.
	10:15am Andres: ? me
	10:18am Webhamster Henry: These Crepuscular Rays are very daxophonic.
	10:18am Pale Son: Oh boy, looks like I missed a lot of great stuff in my stopped meeting. But also, thoroughly enjoying this, so all is not lost.
	10:18am HyperDose: Keeping warm in the analog tube of life
	10:18am Pale Son: *stoopid
	10:21am Handy Haversack: Snow or no snow, they suspended ASP rules in NYC for snow operations! I don't know what kind of tiny-ass scalpel you need to operate on snow -- much less wintry mixx -- but I'll take the win!
	10:23am waters7: Love this, "convalescence". sounds a little like Johnny Flynn
	10:25am βrian: I'm waiting for that epic Parking Trilogy, @Handy. Nobody knows that world like you!
	10:26am marcel: beautiful song
	10:27am Handy Haversack: Maybe I could get Irene to provide a blurb for the jacket, βrian!
	10:29am βrian: We lament that we have to park the second car in the driveway, exposed to the elements. sniff
	10:31am Marie: Enjoying the show greatly
	10:31am marcel: ohhhh i love minnie riperton
	10:32am marcel: how are those high notes even humanly possible
	10:32am HyperDose: Someone's tea is ready
	10:32am karlward: The whistle register
	10:33am ratso: thank you
	10:33am goes211: Staying in with you all and FMU!!!! Sounds great, Trouble!
	10:33am Trouble: merci goes 211!
	10:34am Andres: If I may share an obituary from a year ago that I came across while down the rabbit hole with my coffee. Left me with a smile. https://www.saltwire.com/halifax/obituaries/margaret-m-deadder-50466/
	10:35am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Greetings Trouble, fellow Troublemakers. Shaking out the cobwebs...went to bed too late last night; was up taking care of Mom paperwork stuff and had dinner way too late because what I was cooking took longer than I thought it would. OTOH I now have a leftover delicious smothered monster porkchop. Cooked down half a head of cabbage, a red onion, an apple, added a spice blend S&P, a splash of ACV and a splash of white grape juice (leftover) and let that cook to sludge and let two pork chops have a nice long simmer in it. Fantastic and my apartment at least smells like a fancy restaurant (and I just smell, period--jumped into yesterday's clothes for work). Sigh.
	10:36am marcel: thanks karlward, did not know that term, feel like the special thing about minnie is she makes it sound so effortless
	10:36am Passaic River Blues: Oh, Yasmine...
	10:37am HyperDose: "In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you do something nice for somebody else unexpectedly, and without explanation." Adding that to the palm pilot!
	10:37am Zinn The Mood: Minnie really was an extraordinary singer, huh? Remember being a little kid riding with the family in the car listening to Top 40 radio, and then hearing right after her mega hit played that she had died. Was hard to process as a wee lad, hearing that gorgeous tune, so full of life and beauty, and realizing that she was gone. How soon after “Loving You” do she pass? Incidentally, I recently heard on WKCR’s reggae a fun, uptempo version called “Loving Jah.”
	10:40am melinda: @Threemoons sounds delicious
	10:40am steveo: nyc daily covid cases lowest number since 12/17 hudson county, nj 12/22
	10:41am David: DJ Trouble this is such an amazing show today. (As it always is when I get the chance to tune in) Much much gratitude.
	10:42am Trouble: thanks @david!
	10:44am marcel: what a groove
	10:44am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	10:46am drr: At the risk of saying something obvious, do we all know that comedian Maya Rudolph is Minnie Ripertion's daughter?
	10:47am drr: I was surprised to learn that.
	10:47am drr: need an edit button.
	10:48am JD in Mtl: Thanks for the great music, as always...
	10:48am HyperDose: Top o' the morning, Greg! Yeah Threemoons, we're going to have to exchange recipes at some point.
	10:49am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Hyperdose indeed, I have a lot of back pocket "no recipe recipes" and could always use more!
	10:50am marcel: that song kind of reminded me of this one here (mostly because of the title(s) to be fair) africanacidisthefuture.bandcamp.com...
	10:51am TDK60: Right on, Stevie.
	10:51am Claire from Montclair: Stevie knows what’s up!
	10:52am Handy Haversack: That obit was really sweet, Andres.
	10:53am Kiki Daou: I’m always wondering how One’s voting rights are being violated today?
	10:55am other guy: I am wondering what's going to happen when the filibuster is gone and the R's get the majority
	10:56am Passaic River Blues: Manchin and Sinema stay true to their beliefs that protecting voting rights < BS Senate rule radicalized by GOP in the 1990s and will be altered to pass a national abortion ban the second the GOP regains control of the Senate and WH.
	10:56am Marie: Stevie!
	10:56am Zinn The Mood: Think Phil Lynott was probably inspired by this righteous tune to record his “Ode To A Black Man” on his 1st solo album “Solo in Soho.”
	10:57am Trouble: when a municipality makes the voting hours shorter, so that working people can not make it to the polls, when they offer less polls so people have to stand in long lines (and are prohibited from drinking water!) , when polls are unreachable by mass transit, etc... these are some ways that voting rights are being tampered with.
	10:57am Kiki Daou: @other guy. Seems like the filibuster isn’t going anywhere.
	10:58am marcel: ok thanks so much for the birdsong cut, i just looked into the compilation, awesome stuff. ive never been to america, main reason i really want to go someday are the hummingbirds and the cardinals!!
	10:59am Marie: Manchin and Sinema are self-centered, not very bright, and prolly being given a lot of conservative (and racist?) dark money, imho
	10:59am Juli: This just made me cry haha I guess I am in a mood today
	10:59am @kiki: probably best for us all in the long run
	10:59am Kiki Daou: All good points trouble. Are you also in favor of a photo ID requirement to vote?
	11:00am Handy Haversack: marcel, I dreamed of a cardinal last night, flying across the snow in back of our bldg.! Hummingbirds and cardinals truly are some of the greatest things this country has to offer.
	11:00am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Shorter voting hours, less places to vote, voter roll purges, gerrymandering. It's a dark day for American democracy, which is circling the drain.
	11:03am Trouble: no i am i'm not in favor of photo id's to vote.
	11:03am Kiki Daou: @woods. The state of Georgia has more days and hours of operation in order to vote, mail in balloting etc. In fact a lot more than the state of Delaware!
	11:03am Marie: BTW, important to remember that the Supreme Court gutted the voting rights act a few years ago. Apparently, John Roberts always thought it was a bad law. Some of these people are so out of touch with reality and maybe racists?
	11:04am Kiki Daou: Then how can we ensure voter integrity?
	11:06am Trouble: aferro.org...
	11:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Internet voting, maybe?
	11:07am marcel: @handy thank you, i love that, they're just such an amazing bright red especially against the white snow. love the winter birds round here but most of them are more about playing it safe and blending in. can't blame them
	11:07am Kiki Daou: @ Marie. How does racism equate and all of this?
	11:09am HyperDose: Winston, they're playing your song!
	11:09am oshiwoshi: this is the kind of groove for big hairy animals to scratch themselves against big trees
	11:09am Passaic River Blues: @Kiki: gerrymandered electoral maps making state legislature super-majorities permanent; installing partisan election deniers in offices controlling election procedures and vote counting; restricting early voting; closing polling places in Democratic majority precincts/counties; making it a criminal offense to distribute water to voters waiting on long lines that are the direct result of strategically closing polling places in targeted areas; etc. Voter ID laws are a stalking horse for restricting access to voting, not so-called election integrity (GOP is very explicit about this in internal discussions). The actual incidence of voter fraud is infinitesimal (e.g., there were FOUR DOCUMENTED CASES of voter fraud in the 2016 election).
	11:10am Marie: The effects (how they impact reality) overwhelmingly make it more difficult for people with less money to vote. And more people of color have lower incomes
	11:11am Marie: Hey Kiki, why don't you read something about it?
	11:11am rx scabin: What PRB said.
	11:11am HyperDose: Agreed, oshiwoshi. Heavy brass = big boy vibes
	11:11am oshiwoshi: oh my > going to get a speeding ticket
	11:12am βrian: (What PRB said)²
	11:13am Greg from ZONE 5: This ramp is FYAH!!
	11:14am Passaic River Blues: I always associate this as a Duane Train jam.
	11:15am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): That is one nasty (and tasty) guitar riff.
	11:16am Kiki Daou: @PRB. wouldn’t the voter ID requirement and or a signature on a mail in ballot ensure election integrity? That’s what we really need to work on so there is no fraud and or cheating in elections.
	11:17am marcel: oh god this is in the fifa 21 soundtrack. not understanding why my defense doesnt do what i tell it to do flashbacks
	11:17am βrian: @WoodsOfNH: Now explain the pronunciation of those words to an ESL student …
	11:18am Trouble: many many states and the federal government have assured us that voting fraud ( ie someone showing up to vote instead of another) is practically non existent. it's a red herring to push attention away from gerry mandering etc.
	11:19am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @βrian: Yikes. I'll have to ask my ESL-teacher daughter in law about that. Hah.
	11:20am HyperDose: Awe come on, Trouble. Don't leave yet. You've got another good 40mins to go! 😜
	11:21am Kiki Daou: @marie. Anyone has the ability to vote either by mail or to travel to their respective polling place. Rich or poor
	11:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Sorry, my troll food receptacle is empty.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: I think we're hitting diminishing returns with the measured, instructive responses to trolling here.
	11:21am Guido from Cologne: is this the original of "na na hey hey kiss him goodbye"?
	11:21am TVP: Feels a little weird hearing this song outside of baseball season.
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: It's the classic "I know you are but what am I" tactics, straight out of the Roy Cohn/Trump playbook.
	11:23am Carmichael: No Guido, the original was by Steam, a studio band.
	11:23am sphere: To prevent DJs from playing the B-side, some producers decided to make the worst song they could for the B. The result was Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye).
	11:24am rx scabin: Non-ginzbased Martinis should be discouraged. Yes or no.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Greg, often combined with the dreaded "I'm rubber, you're glue" maneuver as well! Hard agree, rx scabin!
	11:24am Juli: Crying at everything now lol Just cried at a Hindu wedding between two women lol What's next a baby commercial? Prolly
	11:24am sphere: Gin and martini are inextricably entwined.
	11:25am Listening Out There: Great tunes, as usual...
	11:25am Greg from ZONE 5: @Handy: Take one to know one!
	11:25am Passaic River Blues: @Kiki Daou: the second measure you mentioned is not in issue. There isn't a state in the country that doesn't require a valid signature on a mail-in ballot--to state otherwise is false. What the GOP is doing on a state level is introduce additional requirements (e.g., providing additional ID for ballot application AND the ballot itself). As to the former, you're ignoring my point. Voter fraud ISN'T a problem because it's statistically super rare. The GOP keeps pretending it's an issue in order to justify measures that make it harder to vote.
	11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @jule: There's trouble if you cry at a Depends commercial.
	11:26am Juli: I do have a sore spot for the elderly lol
	11:27am steveo: my birthday is coming up; hoping for a tuba
	11:27am Handy Haversack: But they all are totally subsumed by "whoever smelt it dealt it"! Playground rules. We have learned nothing.
	11:27am Passaic River Blues: @Handy: you're right. Disengaging...
	11:27am Carmichael: Or one of those Sarah McLachlan dead dog commercials.
	11:27am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Gah, just had to do a full reboot of my machine. Ugh.
	11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: All of those sounds are made by a theremin—even the tuba sounds!
	11:28am karlward: Queued up for later reading: protectdemocracy.org...
	11:28am marcel: 'Most cases of "Havana syndrome" not caused by foreign power, says CIA'. so no Soviet instrument behind it... unlike this song....... he he
	11:28am steveo: really????? wow
	11:29am Juli: Oh those get me every time Carmichael lol
	11:29am ChukAmok: Again: it boggles the mind that disingenuous trolls would stoop so low as to waste their time and ours on this comments board. Give 'em the boot, or nothing at all.
	11:29am rx scabin: @Handy Haversack A favorite family saying: a skunk can't smell its own stink. You would be surpised at how easy it is to work into conversation. Try it.
	11:29am Handy Haversack: I have been playing D&D for forty years, PRB. Fire and acid are the only ways to make sure a troll doesn't regenerate. This I know. Juli: kitten pix available in my profile for instant cheer-up! Greg: AMAZEBALLS!
	11:29am HyperDose: @🌙🌙🌙 That's been known to happen. WFMU is just too awesome for some audio cards to handle ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
	11:30am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): There's a great (if depressing) essay about fascism by Umberto Eco that I read not long ago. Frightening, is what it is.
	11:30am marcel: reading up on Leon Theremin's biography now. what a life
	11:32am marcel: he invented the first soviet TV
	11:32am Mick: Yet another in a seemingly endless stream of brilliant shows, Trouble. Thanks for the Theremin (and, you know, all the other stuff)
	11:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Hyperdose lol. @HH need to grok those pix. OTOH finally made some coffee while rig rebooting; amazing Gulf Crescent-style coffee with cardamom added in.
	11:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): OK, I've gotta go eat my warmed up nachos while figuring out how I can get my dead parents to vote in the next election. See you all in Hook-land.
	11:34am Handy Haversack: Refusing to pretend that cryptofascist trolls even have a logical position to engage with is what got poor Belbo killed in Foucault's Pendulum. But also made him invincible. Eco knows. Ma gavte la nata.
	11:35am Passaic River Blues: @Woods: That "Ur-Fascism" essay from the NYRB should be required reading. I regularly check in with it to confirm, yes, we are going to hell in a handbasket. www.pegc.us... www.openculture.com...
	11:37am Andres: Keith Hudson, always great!
	11:37am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Forgot to mention -- DO keep giving Gamestoria your business! Remember how I said that I sold him my full Magic the Gathering collection and I took a bit of a loss because he really didn't have the full value of stuff I was selling? Last month, I get a pop up from PayPal that there is a $700 payment to me with Chinese characters on the sender name. I thought it was a scam and panicked, but then got an email a few minutes later from the owner saying that he wanted to pay me the remainder of what he felt he owed me. Came totally unexpectedly; I had no idea that he even had money to spend again in this pandemic. Apparently my rares and stuff helped him get his MTG tournaments back up on their feet by offering them as prizes! An honest businessman who remembered me from over the summer!
	11:38am Trouble: gracias@mick!
	11:38am Marie: what a voice
	11:38am Handy Haversack: WOW, Threemoons, that is absolutely fantastic! What a mensch!
	11:40am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH YUP. Kevin is the owner. Super Mensch indeed! I am SO happy that my old clutter was able to materially help a small business stay afloat!
	11:41am rx scabin: Trouble, thank you for your (usual) best.
	11:42am turkeycutie: Ugh this is my fav Linda martell <3
	11:42am HyperDose: Full circle moment!
	11:42am Trouble: i had to turn this song off in the studio, it is making me cry
	11:44am turkeycutie: I cry too at this song!!
	11:44am loquat: I hear you. That song is a killer. #feelz
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Threemoons, I will tell my friends who play currently in-print "official" D&D and have kids who play Magick. The store doesn't have much for me since all the publishers I use are annoyingly indie! And we have a board game moratorium until we figure out how to bend space enough to store more things in here.
	11:47am Zinn The Mood: Hate to say it. “Inverted Totalitarianism” is the kind of fascism under which America has been imprisoned for the last 40, or maybe even 60-80 years. But fret not, folks. We’ll still be able to order treats to our hearts’ desire off of Amazon. Of course they’ll mostly be made by child slave labor in SE Asia. But hey what would modern feudalism be without cable tv and access to endless cheap, disposable goods. Which is about all the USA can guarantee you. Don’t look for anything else. We’ll just be happy consumers! www.truthdig.com...
	11:47am TVP: Yeah, I'm a White Sox fan, Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye has special meaning for us. There's a long tradition of playing that song whenever the Sox get the other team's pitcher pulled out of the game.
	11:47am loquat: Cry when I hear to sir w love, ooh la la, sweet Melissa, golden lady and that pure prairie league song among otherssss
	11:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH I have my copy of Pizza Imperium somewhere! After the Plague we should get a pizza and play it...anyway, back to work...
	11:48am Andres: Na Na Hey Hey also a fave of Montreal Canadiens fans at playoffs. Probably where I heard it first as a kid.
	11:49am Passaic River Blues: "Skylarking" is a perfect record.
	11:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Voting info found at www.vote.org, at least until it's declared a terrorist organization.
	11:51am Mick: Trouble, I know you're in JC not Hoboken, and at risk of opening a whole can of worms, are you familiar with the Hoboken High School budget referendum question coming up? Anyone else out there have a good handle on it?
	11:54am alan the painter: Thank you Trouble!
	11:54am TDK60: Thanks once again for a special show, Trouble.
	11:55am βrian: Now boarding: Continental Subway with David Dichelle wfmu.org...
	11:55am HyperDose: Outstanding program, Trouble
	11:55am Handy Haversack: How did it go by so fast?! What a great show, Trouble! Many thanks! Be well, Troubled ones.
	11:56am Trouble: @ mick I know a little of the crazy. not enough to talk about it. Seems a huge gamble to spend $$$ for dwindling high school population
	11:56am john_zilla: holy shit EBTG
	11:56am listener 126464: Thank you Trouble!
	11:56am rx scabin: Excellent show, thank you.

	11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today. see you next week, one week closer to the end of January. yay, then feb, march, spring is on the way
	11:57am Jason from Houston: Many thanks, Trouble. Stay safe and sweet out there, ya dirty commies! All the love your way.
	12:00pm Carmichael: Fun fact about Color Him Father. The original was by The Winstons; the B side of their single was an instrumental which holds the distinction being "the most sampled song of all time".
	12:00pm Yes: beautiful end into birds. thanks trouble
	12:00pm Passaic River Blues: @Carmichael: THE IMMORTAL AMEN BREAK!
	12:00pm Pale Son: Amazing show, thank you!
