	9:02am TDK60: Good morning, Trouble DJ!
	9:03am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:03am Listener Robert: I feel like we should close the door and let the two tired ladies sleep.
	9:05am Handy Haversack: Gray Thursday greets, Trouble and all the Troubled. Trouble, that Carrington essay is reprinted in this anthology: utpress.utexas.edu... I cannot find a PDF version, or at least have not been able to, but I'll keep poking around and see what I might see.
	9:06am Rich in Washington: Sonny Sharrock plays on this album.
	9:06am Trouble: hola modern people! crazy day already...
	9:07am Zipperhead7: G'mornng folks! Have to head out but will catch up later. Found an amazing recording of Brooklyn pirate radio on Bandcamp: deathisnot.bandcamp.com...
	9:07am P-90: Herbie Rides Again
	9:08am TDK60: Was just peeking at WickedPea. If they're right, this Herbie M. live cut was at Yankee Stadium, NY Jazz Festival, '72.
	9:10am TDK60: Hi Handy. That anthology isn't banned? I mean, it was put together by Franklin Rosemont who was a troublemaker.
	9:12am bklanon: This rules
	9:13am Handy Haversack: Not banned, TDK60. Just from before the digital divide. They haven't banned us yet! That said, Trouble, check your e-mail after the show!
	9:13am Cal in Dothan: Hola! This is the bee's knees
	9:15am BAMstutz: The music is good.
	9:15am Trouble: thanks @handy! i plunked down the big bucks and ordered it 2 days ago. meanwhile we have already dissected your quote in art II. THANKS so much!!!
	9:16am listener 126464: Good morning.
	9:16am Handy Haversack: Supporting university presses is a mitzvah, Trouble! We thank you!
	9:18am Irene Trudel: Ravi Coltrane is in residence at NYC's Symphony Space the next 3 nights. Saturday he focuses on the music of his parents, John & Alice Coltrane. www.symphonyspace.org...
	9:20am ChukAmok: Brooklyn Pirate Radio is intriguing enough to "wishlist", but are these not the same pirates who are always encroaching in on the 91.1 and 91.9 frequencies?
	9:20am PortsmouthJay: good morning, fine people
	9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble & troupe!
	9:23am Handy Haversack: Hey, Ken. Saw your note at the end of WAB. Last fall was also twenty-five years since my dad died from lung cancer. Sympathy and solidarity, friend. April will be six years since I quit smoking.
	9:24am βrian: Neither here nor theremin.
	9:24am YETI BOB: At first I mistook Rockmore's thermin for vox. Love love love this Villa-Lobos piece.
	9:24am TDK60: OOPS! My awful mistake. That book Handy posted is by Penelope Rosemont, partner of Franklin. Sorry for my hurriedness. She is a troublemaker too.
	9:26am steveo: good morning; glad you found this theremin album
	9:27am MD: Trouble wit a capitol T!!!!
	9:27am MD: Good Morning Nation of the Station!!!
	9:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Handy. If Pa were still around, he'd be celebrating his 90th in November.
	9:28am Trouble: very cool @ irene! thanks!!
	9:28am MD: So human Voice sounding!!!
	9:29am Handy Haversack: Ken, my dad would have turned 105 last fall!
	9:30am MD: www.imdb.com... Totally Recommend this movie!!!
	9:30am Jaydot Kaydot: Love Clara Rockmore. A few years ago at a record store, I found one of her albums that I desperately wanted and the guy wouldn't sell it to me because it "wasn't for sale yet." Haunts me to this day.
	9:31am MD: www.imdb.com... Totally Recommend this movie!!!
	9:34am steveo: was that a live bird remix???
	9:37am Vivian: @ Trouble, the open water bottle happens to everyone. As long its water, everything will dry out. Good Job on saving the high school student!
	9:39am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modern World! Sounds like Laraaji is taking a swim.
	9:40am steveo: glad you're on the way to drying out; did my compost hauling shift for the co-op today, so i'm a bit soggy myself
	9:44am dale: love heart of glass. got this album in the import section in the late 70s. movie is slow, but great.
	9:47am YETI BOB: +1 on the Herzog
	9:50am Zinn The Mood: Hey Troublers. Great set as always. Reception not great on the kitchen radio/cd/cassette player (which unfortunately doesn’t play the latter, leaving stacks of old jam tapes abandoned underneath the bed). May switch over to playing you in the phone through the portable Bose speaker. Selections very redolent of this mellow, grey and rainy day. Really dig this popol vuh track.
	9:52am YETI BOB: At some point Werner Herzog lost it, but his early films (70s and 80s) are fantastic
	9:54am karlward: Reminds me of Nite Jewel
	9:55am Dances with Moomins: Moi to the world's Troubled souls. Crystal clear skies over Turku today. Sun setting now.
	9:55am Trouble: yes i see what you mean @karlward, without the back beat
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Some static here, too, Zinn. Usually the clouds help. I read that article you linked to yesterday on the so-called political show hosts. Good stuff. But having a tab open all day (took me a while to finish; stupid work) called "The Joke's on You" meant that no matter what WFMU was doing (even when Mary played a dozen covers of "Jockey Full of Bourbon"), I had "Flaming Telepaths" firmly implanted in my brain!
	9:56am steveo: Trouble -- have you been to the Noah Davis show at Zwirner? Looks intriguing
	9:57am Trouble: bonjour @ moomins! merci for the fab film link! i haven't had a minute to figure out the finnish to get to the watching step, but looking forward to it!
	9:58am Dances with Moomins: You'll love it. recent interviews with icons speaking about being icons back in the 60's with great clips Cheers!
	10:00am Trouble: noah davis's paintings are gorgeous! not sure it's up at zwirner NYC now, i think it's still toni morrison's black book
	10:04am Passaic River Blues: I see that my work meeting caused me to miss a superb opening set, including a cut from "Universal Consciousness." For all Alice Coltrane fans on the board, just want to report I finished reading "Monument Eternal: The Music of Alice Coltrane" by Franya Berkman (who sadly passed away only a few years after publication), and highly recommend it as a short academic examination of Alice McLeod Coltrane's entire career, from teenaged church organist to proficient Detroit bebop artist to Coltrane's partner, avant-garde genius, and eventual swamini. Really enjoyable, and satisfied a deep Coltrane jones I just can't shake these days. www.goodreads.com...
	10:05am steveo: oh dang, you're right, Davis's show was 2 years ago
	10:10am Trouble: thank YOU @passaic river blues! i will assuredly read that book
	10:10am Jason from Houston: Goooooood morning, friends. ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	10:11am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all! Loooooove this Cleo Sol.
	10:12am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo. Tardy to the party, MUST sneak in a shower between work emails today...rainy but at least it looks like rain, not snow, hopefully able to go out to Mom's tomorrow after work.
	10:13am Handy Haversack: Morning, Jason, Greg, 3Moons!
	10:13am Trouble: i love her, too! @ greg from zone 5. i put that song in the #1slot on my welcome back mix for my students. such great feels from that song
	10:16am karlward: I am jealous of anyone who can play like this
	10:16am HyperDose: I wish I had a teacher that made us mixtapes
	10:17am Jason from Houston: Big swoons on that Laurel Premo song. Big wishlisted.
	10:17am Mike W.: “Give me a reason not to die” is a tall order for a radio program, but, so far so good...
	10:18am karlward: My high school had a teacher who used to dub tapes of popular music and sell them at a discount. His room was like a music store. A very bootleg music store. Not much of a science class going on in there though.
	10:18am Greg from ZONE 5: 1. Yo Handy! 2. Seriously, student mixes are such a great idea. 3. The rain can't stop the clicky star parade that's happening right now!
	10:19am Handy Haversack: I was thinking that, HyperDose -- do they know how lucky they are to have a teacher that makes them welcome-back mixes? Mike W., maybe best you missed WWB last night then. Matt played "Life Is Suicide" and won the Prix Bleu-Goth.
	10:20am karlward: Watch out for Arthur Russell, he's like Tupac, long dead but more albums coming out all the time. He's coming for YOUR favorite genre next.
	10:21am HyperDose: Had a former middle school science teacher who was also a drummer. He'd help me identify the drums/cymbals and their pitches in the music I listened to so I'd know what gear to buy. We need more teachers like him and Trouble!
	10:23am karlward: I surprised an Arthur Russell superfan with this Gary Lucas penned essay about when Arthur Russell and Vin Diesel worked together. Not a joke. It really happened. pleasekillme.com...
	10:23am Mike W.: Handy, what makes you think I missed WWB last night?
	10:27am Trouble: merci @ hyperdose
	10:27am Handy Haversack: Oh, just didn't see you, Mike W.!
	10:27am Passaic River Blues: @karlward: oh man, I had already forgotten about that story, but it is wondrous and beautiful thing. I really, really, very and truly wish that collab had worked out. In a better world, it did.
	10:29am karlward: Er my gerd there is audio from that Arthur Russell + Vin Diesel colla! soundcloud.com...
	10:30am karlward: s/colla/collab/
	10:30am Zinn The Mood: …was just dealing with a full load of laundry done in a small washing machine we keep our bathroom. Putting up endless little socks, underwear and t-shirts on a drying rack and pants on various radiators. Yeah, Handy, I thought that writer really illuminated the subject of late night comedians being corporate tools in such a thorough way. And when he contrasts them to the likes of Carlin, Hicks, Lenny Bruce etc it’s so clear and evident. thebaffler.com... Just finished another HST bio. Each author finds another bunch of really outrageous and uproarious tales of debauchery, decadence and mischief that had me howling very few pages literally.
	10:32am Passaic River Blues: @karlward: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:33am PortsmouthJay: So far, this has been the best show on WFMU this year. Tremendous music and flow. Absolutely love it. 💙
	10:34am Pale Son: Morning, all! Super late to the party, but glad to be out of meetings and into the modern world.
	10:34am βrian: Back out of the saddle. I loved that Bremer McCoy.
	10:34am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Zinn the Mood The ONE gripe I have RE my apartment is, no washer/dryer units allowed in the apartment (lots of good reasons including flooding potential/fire potential/power draw). OTOH have been very tempted to get one of those lawnmower-pull style little tub thingies for when I REALLY need to get some sox/undies done and/or delicates that I don't want to dry clean or send out with my regular laundry.
	10:34am karlward: Also, JAZZ
	10:35am ChukAmok: Whoa! Thanks for sharing karlward!
	10:38am Handy Haversack: In case anyone somehow didn't hear: everything in the WFMU Store is 20 percent off today through Sunday.
	10:40am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH I know, I have been showing great restraint in not buying All the T Shirts.
	10:40am YETI BOB: I've been puttering around in the kitchen and not commenting so much but just wanted to say WOW what a great show, perfect for this snowy morning! TY TROUBLE!
	10:40am howgr: The Villa-Lobos you played earlier very much reminds of Miriam Burton, one of the great NYC theatre performers no one has ever heard of. Appeared on Broadway, worked with Harry Belafonte. Gaylord has played her in the past from the Album African Lament. Especially Rites of Passage Parts 1-3.
	10:42am TDK60: Threemoons. I've thought about getting some old-fashioned laundry wringer.
	10:42am Trouble: gracias@portsmouth jay!
	10:46am karlward: Handy: but the WFMU store is out of the Vin Diesel muscle shirt
	10:47am karlward: Not even sure what a muscle shirt is but I want one
	10:47am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and everyone.
	10:47am Trouble: thanks@howgr: will look her up!
	10:48am Trouble: merci@yetibob!
	10:48am TDK60: I must exit for errands. Merci, Trouble.
	10:48am Handy Haversack: We have coin-op machines in the basement, for which I am extremely grateful. The family upstairs still maintains an illicit washing machine, though, so I get to listen to it spin whenever there's a quiet moment on the bathroom boombox. At our last apt., the illicit washing machine upstairs would short out the power at least once per cycle, so we're moving up in the world. karlward, the Vin Diesel muscle T is literally the only shirt in the store. All shirts are Vin Diesel muscle Ts. You just have to know how to wear them.
	10:49am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @TDK I think the lawnmower-pull mini tubs have a pretty vigorous spin cycle. A very good friend of mine had one in her old apartment and still uses it from time to time (she's renovating her ancient saltbox house upstate and pretty much ALL of the major appliances need replacing).
	10:51am Tara: this set , loving it
	10:52am Trouble: help me out here: is she sampling portoisehead OR the peeps portoisehead sampled?
	10:52am Trouble: merci@tara!
	10:53am βrian: Before we had our home with washer & Dryer, we would sometimes use the restaurant-sized salad spinner as part of a light laundry cycle. It handles about 10 pounds at a go.
	10:53am riley: Late good morning. Always come in at a good time here set-wise. And coffee is medicine.
	10:54am thriftstoreleather: Snow Day! The library is closed & I'm off work! Snow Days rule! I think all Cincy Library employees were doing the snow day dance last night! The show goes great with the icy, wintery, blustery happening outside.♥♥♥
	10:55am karlward: trouble: According to Juan Maclean, Portishead rerecorded their samples on a cassette to make them grungier, these samples don't sound like they've had that done to them
	10:56am Trouble: hmmm, that makes sense @ karlward
	10:56am Mark Williams: this Bovell dub is from a song called "A Little Way Different" by Errol Dunkley. If you don't know it, you'd like that song, Trouble.
	10:56am Zinn The Mood: Great story about the science teacher drummer, HyperDose. On the other end of adolescent interactions with teacher drummers my Aunt’s boyfriend at the time had come out with her from the Bronx to hear/see me play with my band in my parent's garage on LI. The thing I remember most is telling me I didn’t have to leave the hi-hat so open when practicing. Being that age I immediately dismissed him (though his point was correct). Of course we were just bashing out the puerile hard rock of the day, which had to be as loud and splashy as possible. It was Live At Leeds in the first place that even made me want to play in a band - how could this guy ever understand!? Amazing that your teacher was taking the time to call your attention to how different cymbals sounded and then advising you. @threemoons With two young kids now we decided very early on that we had to have one here. For just socks, underwear, etc just hand wash and hang. Met a British roadie on tour once who only took two pairs of undies with him. The one who wore that day he’d hang overnight and then use the other one the next day. Thanks @PRB for the Alice Coltrane bio. Have to get around to that at some point.
	10:56am βrian: No snow here on the isthmus, but it was 3°F when I got up this morning.
	10:57am thriftstoreleather: Yikes! That's frickin cold!!
	10:59am βrian: What's being constructed?
	11:00am karlward: βrian: Pseu said it was a swimming pool for the DJs
	11:04am listener james from westwood: Always a good day with Hollie Cook as part of it!
	11:04am sphere: Hmm. I like digital downloads on Bandcamp because they are much cheaper and I don't have to worry about shipping times and postage. I guess I like ghostly music. And hello.
	11:06am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Albquerque is freaking out with its 3 inches of snow. Cars in ditches, people spinning out no traction, 4x4's handling it, mediocre plowing and sanding of roads (we use 2/3 red cinders and 1/3 salt, less rust).....
	11:08am Smurph: Wow, I did not know I needed French beat-boxing in my life until just now!
	11:09am sphere: @Smurph - Agreed. And it's a nice bite of ABBA.
	11:09am Passaic River Blues: @Smurph: the crazy thing is that this record is 20 years old this year. Time needs to stop advancing right. now.
	11:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): With the vinyl backup I received a sort of surprise LP yesterday. Bought the Lisa Bella Donna Bob Moog tribute record many moons ago. Kind of forgot I'd requested the record many moons ago.
	11:10am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): working from home today, blaring the fmu
	11:10am sphere: @ Smurph - And you have to love the LP's title.
	11:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Trouble: You would love this -> lisabelladonna.bandcamp.com...
	11:12am HyperDose: @Zinn Absolutely. I was lucky to have a few teachers who took the time to get to know their students and be mentors. I also remember the days of playing in cement basements, wanting to be as loud as possible, and thinking it sounded good. My ears prefer the acoustically treated room.
	11:15am listener james from westwood: @Wild Neil: Sounds like when Las Vegas got belted in 2008. Anywhere outside the ski areas up the mountains ringing the valley were totally gobsmacked and without plows, salt, etc. Snowmen near the Fabulous Las Vegas sign and the like!
	11:17am Smurph: @sphere, you do indeed have to love that album title!
	11:20am Zipperhead7: When I lived in Austin and we'd get an occasional light snow, people didn't grasp basic physics -- you can't race a two-ton pickup to a light on snow and expect it stop immediately. I got t-boned three times as a result.
	11:22am Lucky: Can't wait to hear this show!
	11:25am Zinn The Mood: Yeah man. I’ve lost so much hearing in my left ear it’s very troubling. Just took a hearing test at an ENT’s office and the drop off in my left compared to the right is alarming. Put it this way, if I’m laying on my rights side with my right ear covered by the pillow I can only hear a blob of low frequency. Which is weird b/c on the phone it’s always with my left. Goddamn splashy hi-hat is where it might have started… Haven’t played a gig in last 15 years without earplugs. Didn’t know Nina covered “Ooh Girl.” Cool remix.
	11:25am Phillippe: Love the cover of the Boz Scaggs album. Up there with Jackson Browne's Late for the Sky as my favorites from that era
	11:28am rx scabin: I heard these people on the Moder Love Bowie tribute. Highly recommended.
	11:29am rx scabin: Modern, stupid tablet, stupid finger.
	11:30am Zinn The Mood: Glanced at this ^ and thought it was Mother Love Bone…heh!
	11:32am ifeelfatnsassy: This is the second new Habibi song I've heard in as many days
	11:34am rx scabin: OK. Let's see. Trouble's playlist = rx scabin's bandcamp shopping list. Time for a second job.
	11:35am merz.medallion: I'm really syncing up with all this jazz, bonified!
	11:36am Handy Haversack: HyperDose, Zinn, I may have told this story? But we recently FINALLY got a turntable hooked up and working after months and months of trying to get it going. Our first record store trip, I picked up Tom Waits's Small Change on vinyl. Played it later while K8 was cleaning up after dinner. This is something I've had on CD since HS, on the computer since that became a thing. A fairly frequent listen. An album I know really well. And two songs in I was in tears. It all came back that my HS teacher who was really a mentor to me lent me Small Change and Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash on vinyl when I was ~15 and said, "You might enjoy these." And BAM. Brain opened wide to the world. Hearing it on vinyl again was so powerful. And the object, the damn Ding an Sich, was forty-five years old! And sounded fantastic. I catalogued my tapes a couple weeks back and found a ton of stuff he'd dubbed for me: Christy Moore, Jean Redpath, Ewan MacColl, Planxty, all sorts of stuff that I'd never have been able to find as a dumb kid. Sometimes you get lucky. If you have the luck to have been born with the opportunity to find that luck.
	11:37am rx scabin: Puce.
	11:38am Passaic River Blues: The Atlantic article was by Ted Gioia.
	11:38am ifeelfatnsassy: Counterpoint re: new music: www.huffingtonpost.co.uk...
	11:38am merz.medallion: Hauntology
	11:39am Ed: Trouble, I read that same article and also thought that writer was full of beans. he obviously never listens to WFMU.
	11:40am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I wish I had cool teachers in junior high/high school. The closest I got to that was my grade school music teacher, whom in 20/20 hindsight had either a severe substance abuse problem and/or some kind of neurological thing going on. He had posters for Pete Seeger and Simon and Garfunkel all over the classroom as we dooted away on our little plastic recorders, and he played/had us sing stuff from Woodie Guthrie, the Beatles, and S&G. Always ALWAYS wore heavily-tinted aviators and spoke in a clear but very flat monotone. He was alternatively creepy and fascinating to my child's eyes.
	11:40am Pale Son: Hear hear, Trouble! So strongly agree.
	11:41am ChukAmok: That's a beautiful story, Handy. There was a teacher at my HS who knew who Sebadoh was, but then they admitted it was because they had heard them on my radio show. No one else gave a damn.
	11:41am rx scabin: Trouble, his world of music does not include the world of music.
	11:41am Marie: Loving the show, Trouble. Thank-ee!
	11:42am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: PS he NEVER took his glasses off, ever. From K-6 he was our music teacher and only ONCE by a trick of the light, and seeing him in profile, my best friend (still my best friend now, almost 50 years later) confirmed that his eyes were in fact blue. I mean, full amber/blackout lenses with a top mirror fade.
	11:42am Trouble: gracias @ marie!
	11:42am ChukAmok: My two and a half year old niece keeps asking if I have a record player at home. She's fascinated by it, and loves to dance (fast feet!). Think I'll bring the portable and a box of 45's over when I visit with her after work.
	11:43am Analog Nights: Give money to working artists, it's fun!
	11:43am Pale Son: There's so much amazing music being produced and enjoyed right now. If that writer can't be bothered to find out about it, so much the worse for The Atlantic.
	11:44am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: There were a few days when the Cafeteria Ladies who did Discipline/Making Sure We Didn't All Kill Each Other during Lunch weren't available and he had to sub in for them. On those days, we kept our voices down and even the usually crazy/disruptive kids dialed it back because he just emanated waves of WEIRD and nobody really wanted to see what he would do if pushed. Y
	11:44am Zipperhead7: One of the dumbest business decisions in history was the unwillingness of the record industry to license their catalogs to Napster. And Bertelsmann bought an equity stake in Napster at the same time they were suing them!
	11:45am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And this was in a cafeteria that seated the ENTIRE elementary school--we were seated in rows by grade, a few hundred kids...
	11:45am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And yeah, Napster was a missed chance BIGTIME.
	11:45am sphere: In contrast, I got into Chicago as a teen because they had a trombone player and ended up tossing all 18 records because the local used shop wouldn't buy them.
	11:45am ChukAmok: @Threemoons Speaking of Pete Seeger: he was an alum of my HS, and came to visit for a week during my Junior year. That was a rare, but very good week for me. Unfortunately, and again: no one else gave a damn (except some of the older teachers, that is).
	11:46am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Chuck wow!!
	11:47am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: In 20/20 hindsight my poor ol' music teacher simply may have just had a night gig in the City and was constantly exhausted/in an altered state from late night gigs and wore the glasses to hide redeye?
	11:48am waters7: tuning in late because I'm teaching. that sault. wow!
	11:48am ryansterlingvirtue: Incredible show as always. The show is my psychological sign that the weekend is upon us shortly
	11:49am Trouble: merci@ ryansterling! hola @ waters7!
	11:49am Zipperhead7: Perfect segue, Trouble!
	11:49am YETI BOB: 3Moons: I had a piano teacher fall asleep once while I was struggling to play a piece of music. I wish I could remember what the piece was.
	11:49am rx scabin: Thank you for the wonderful show.
	11:50am Passaic River Blues: I think the major problem with the article was, as Trouble noted, Gioia highlighted various trends and aspects of the insanely complex, decades-long process of the disintegration of the traditional major label-dominated music industry (with direct sales, radio, and television distribution) and overly-simplifying and ultimately misdiagnosing these disparate things as a battle between Establish Musicians and New Musicians. You can't take old distribution models and map them to newer ones--comparing stats on user-directed global streaming services to top-down corporate radio programming is just inapposite and an ultimately useless exercise. And I don't say this to defend the various streaming services, which generally only pay exploitative rates to musicians. Also, not discussing or even mentioning bandcamp was a pretty significant oversight by Gioia.
	11:51am Patrick: GM Trouble! Especially Loving this last set of music.
	11:51am scribble: Thanks for all the grey day gorgeousness, Trouble!
	11:52am Dances with Moomins: Thanks for magic music again!
	11:52am HyperDose: Thanks Trouble, and thanks to the teachers and nurses everywhere! Some of my favorite people right there.
	11:54am Lawrence: Love this Style Council track!
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! Great show! (And see yr e-mail!) Stay Troubled, all.
	11:55am Zinn The Mood: Nice rant, Trouble! Probably would have muttered something similar about there being no good new music anymore had I not been tuning in more here. As a result of you fine folks at FMU one quickly concludes the polar opposite: that there’s actually too much good music. Literally, I can hardly keep up with it all. And thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for bringing it to us. Great stories ThreeMoons and Handy, and all the other similar anecdotes! ‘Tis good to be with you all…
	11:56am radioronan: Thanks Trouble!
	11:56am Jason from Houston: Many thanks, good Trouble. Stay safe and sweet out there.
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in, see you next week!
	11:57am morphe': Thanks Trouble and all !!!!!!!
	11:57am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:57am Zipperhead7: @passaic river -- very astute analysis!
	11:58am Ochre Ogre: Handy- Cool story. Small Change on vinyl was my introduction to Tom Waits.
	11:58am minkwest: Hey everybody! Happy Thursday.
	11:58am Ochre Ogre: Thanks Trouble!
	12:01pm blub: Man, I had forgotten this one. when was the last time you heard the style council?

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from February 3, 2022

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.

	2/2 9:17am thedunkel: Well… Hello Trouble!
	9:01am Irene Trudel: Good rainy morning Trouble and all you Modern World-ers!
	9:01am HyperDose: I think I'm ready for this!
	9:02am melinda: howdy all
	9:02am TDK60: Good morning, Trouble DJ!
	9:03am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:03am Listener Robert: I feel like we should close the door and let the two tired ladies sleep.
	9:05am Handy Haversack: Gray Thursday greets, Trouble and all the Troubled. Trouble, that Carrington essay is reprinted in this anthology: utpress.utexas.edu... I cannot find a PDF version, or at least have not been able to, but I'll keep poking around and see what I might see.
	9:06am Rich in Washington: Sonny Sharrock plays on this album.
	9:06am Trouble: hola modern people! crazy day already...
	9:07am Zipperhead7: G'mornng folks! Have to head out but will catch up later. Found an amazing recording of Brooklyn pirate radio on Bandcamp: deathisnot.bandcamp.com...
	9:07am P-90: Herbie Rides Again
	9:08am TDK60: Was just peeking at WickedPea. If they're right, this Herbie M. live cut was at Yankee Stadium, NY Jazz Festival, '72.
	9:10am TDK60: Hi Handy. That anthology isn't banned? I mean, it was put together by Franklin Rosemont who was a troublemaker.
	9:12am bklanon: This rules
	9:13am Handy Haversack: Not banned, TDK60. Just from before the digital divide. They haven't banned us yet! That said, Trouble, check your e-mail after the show!
	9:13am Cal in Dothan: Hola! This is the bee's knees
	9:15am BAMstutz: The music is good.
	9:15am Trouble: thanks @handy! i plunked down the big bucks and ordered it 2 days ago. meanwhile we have already dissected your quote in art II. THANKS so much!!!
	9:16am listener 126464: Good morning.
	9:16am Handy Haversack: Supporting university presses is a mitzvah, Trouble! We thank you!
	9:18am Irene Trudel: Ravi Coltrane is in residence at NYC's Symphony Space the next 3 nights. Saturday he focuses on the music of his parents, John & Alice Coltrane. www.symphonyspace.org...
	9:20am ChukAmok: Brooklyn Pirate Radio is intriguing enough to "wishlist", but are these not the same pirates who are always encroaching in on the 91.1 and 91.9 frequencies?
	9:20am PortsmouthJay: good morning, fine people
	9:21am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble & troupe!
	9:23am Handy Haversack: Hey, Ken. Saw your note at the end of WAB. Last fall was also twenty-five years since my dad died from lung cancer. Sympathy and solidarity, friend. April will be six years since I quit smoking.
	9:24am βrian: Neither here nor theremin.
	9:24am YETI BOB: At first I mistook Rockmore's thermin for vox. Love love love this Villa-Lobos piece.
	9:24am TDK60: OOPS! My awful mistake. That book Handy posted is by Penelope Rosemont, partner of Franklin. Sorry for my hurriedness. She is a troublemaker too.
	9:26am steveo: good morning; glad you found this theremin album
	9:27am MD: Trouble wit a capitol T!!!!
	9:27am MD: Good Morning Nation of the Station!!!
	9:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Handy. If Pa were still around, he'd be celebrating his 90th in November.
	9:28am Trouble: very cool @ irene! thanks!!
	9:28am MD: So human Voice sounding!!!
	9:29am Handy Haversack: Ken, my dad would have turned 105 last fall!
	9:30am MD: www.imdb.com... Totally Recommend this movie!!!
	9:30am Jaydot Kaydot: Love Clara Rockmore. A few years ago at a record store, I found one of her albums that I desperately wanted and the guy wouldn't sell it to me because it "wasn't for sale yet." Haunts me to this day.
	9:31am MD: www.imdb.com... Totally Recommend this movie!!!
	9:34am steveo: was that a live bird remix???
	9:37am Vivian: @ Trouble, the open water bottle happens to everyone. As long its water, everything will dry out. Good Job on saving the high school student!
	9:39am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modern World! Sounds like Laraaji is taking a swim.
	9:40am steveo: glad you're on the way to drying out; did my compost hauling shift for the co-op today, so i'm a bit soggy myself
	9:44am dale: love heart of glass. got this album in the import section in the late 70s. movie is slow, but great.
	9:47am YETI BOB: +1 on the Herzog
	9:50am Zinn The Mood: Hey Troublers. Great set as always. Reception not great on the kitchen radio/cd/cassette player (which unfortunately doesn’t play the latter, leaving stacks of old jam tapes abandoned underneath the bed). May switch over to playing you in the phone through the portable Bose speaker. Selections very redolent of this mellow, grey and rainy day. Really dig this popol vuh track.
	9:52am YETI BOB: At some point Werner Herzog lost it, but his early films (70s and 80s) are fantastic
	9:54am karlward: Reminds me of Nite Jewel
	9:55am Dances with Moomins: Moi to the world's Troubled souls. Crystal clear skies over Turku today. Sun setting now.
	9:55am Trouble: yes i see what you mean @karlward, without the back beat
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Some static here, too, Zinn. Usually the clouds help. I read that article you linked to yesterday on the so-called political show hosts. Good stuff. But having a tab open all day (took me a while to finish; stupid work) called "The Joke's on You" meant that no matter what WFMU was doing (even when Mary played a dozen covers of "Jockey Full of Bourbon"), I had "Flaming Telepaths" firmly implanted in my brain!
	9:56am steveo: Trouble -- have you been to the Noah Davis show at Zwirner? Looks intriguing
	9:57am Trouble: bonjour @ moomins! merci for the fab film link! i haven't had a minute to figure out the finnish to get to the watching step, but looking forward to it!
	9:58am Dances with Moomins: You'll love it. recent interviews with icons speaking about being icons back in the 60's with great clips Cheers!
	10:00am Trouble: noah davis's paintings are gorgeous! not sure it's up at zwirner NYC now, i think it's still toni morrison's black book
	10:04am Passaic River Blues: I see that my work meeting caused me to miss a superb opening set, including a cut from "Universal Consciousness." For all Alice Coltrane fans on the board, just want to report I finished reading "Monument Eternal: The Music of Alice Coltrane" by Franya Berkman (who sadly passed away only a few years after publication), and highly recommend it as a short academic examination of Alice McLeod Coltrane's entire career, from teenaged church organist to proficient Detroit bebop artist to Coltrane's partner, avant-garde genius, and eventual swamini. Really enjoyable, and satisfied a deep Coltrane jones I just can't shake these days. www.goodreads.com...
	10:05am steveo: oh dang, you're right, Davis's show was 2 years ago
	10:10am Trouble: thank YOU @passaic river blues! i will assuredly read that book
	10:10am Jason from Houston: Goooooood morning, friends. ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	10:11am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all! Loooooove this Cleo Sol.
	10:12am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo. Tardy to the party, MUST sneak in a shower between work emails today...rainy but at least it looks like rain, not snow, hopefully able to go out to Mom's tomorrow after work.
	10:13am Handy Haversack: Morning, Jason, Greg, 3Moons!
	10:13am Trouble: i love her, too! @ greg from zone 5. i put that song in the #1slot on my welcome back mix for my students. such great feels from that song
	10:16am karlward: I am jealous of anyone who can play like this
	10:16am HyperDose: I wish I had a teacher that made us mixtapes
	10:17am Jason from Houston: Big swoons on that Laurel Premo song. Big wishlisted.
	10:17am Mike W.: “Give me a reason not to die” is a tall order for a radio program, but, so far so good...
	10:18am karlward: My high school had a teacher who used to dub tapes of popular music and sell them at a discount. His room was like a music store. A very bootleg music store. Not much of a science class going on in there though.
	10:18am Greg from ZONE 5: 1. Yo Handy! 2. Seriously, student mixes are such a great idea. 3. The rain can't stop the clicky star parade that's happening right now!
	10:19am Handy Haversack: I was thinking that, HyperDose -- do they know how lucky they are to have a teacher that makes them welcome-back mixes? Mike W., maybe best you missed WWB last night then. Matt played "Life Is Suicide" and won the Prix Bleu-Goth.
	10:20am karlward: Watch out for Arthur Russell, he's like Tupac, long dead but more albums coming out all the time. He's coming for YOUR favorite genre next.
	10:21am HyperDose: Had a former middle school science teacher who was also a drummer. He'd help me identify the drums/cymbals and their pitches in the music I listened to so I'd know what gear to buy. We need more teachers like him and Trouble!
	10:23am karlward: I surprised an Arthur Russell superfan with this Gary Lucas penned essay about when Arthur Russell and Vin Diesel worked together. Not a joke. It really happened. pleasekillme.com...
	10:23am Mike W.: Handy, what makes you think I missed WWB last night?
	10:27am Trouble: merci @ hyperdose
	10:27am Handy Haversack: Oh, just didn't see you, Mike W.!
	10:27am Passaic River Blues: @karlward: oh man, I had already forgotten about that story, but it is wondrous and beautiful thing. I really, really, very and truly wish that collab had worked out. In a better world, it did.
	10:29am karlward: Er my gerd there is audio from that Arthur Russell + Vin Diesel colla! soundcloud.com...
	10:30am karlward: s/colla/collab/
	10:30am Zinn The Mood: …was just dealing with a full load of laundry done in a small washing machine we keep our bathroom. Putting up endless little socks, underwear and t-shirts on a drying rack and pants on various radiators. Yeah, Handy, I thought that writer really illuminated the subject of late night comedians being corporate tools in such a thorough way. And when he contrasts them to the likes of Carlin, Hicks, Lenny Bruce etc it’s so clear and evident. thebaffler.com... Just finished another HST bio. Each author finds another bunch of really outrageous and uproarious tales of debauchery, decadence and mischief that had me howling very few pages literally.
	10:32am Passaic River Blues: @karlward: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:33am PortsmouthJay: So far, this has been the best show on WFMU this year. Tremendous music and flow. Absolutely love it. 💙
	10:34am Pale Son: Morning, all! Super late to the party, but glad to be out of meetings and into the modern world.
	10:34am βrian: Back out of the saddle. I loved that Bremer McCoy.
	10:34am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Zinn the Mood The ONE gripe I have RE my apartment is, no washer/dryer units allowed in the apartment (lots of good reasons including flooding potential/fire potential/power draw). OTOH have been very tempted to get one of those lawnmower-pull style little tub thingies for when I REALLY need to get some sox/undies done and/or delicates that I don't want to dry clean or send out with my regular laundry.
	10:34am karlward: Also, JAZZ
	10:35am ChukAmok: Whoa! Thanks for sharing karlward!
	10:38am Handy Haversack: In case anyone somehow didn't hear: everything in the WFMU Store is 20 percent off today through Sunday.
	10:40am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH I know, I have been showing great restraint in not buying All the T Shirts.
	10:40am YETI BOB: I've been puttering around in the kitchen and not commenting so much but just wanted to say WOW what a great show, perfect for this snowy morning! TY TROUBLE!
	10:40am howgr: The Villa-Lobos you played earlier very much reminds of Miriam Burton, one of the great NYC theatre performers no one has ever heard of. Appeared on Broadway, worked with Harry Belafonte. Gaylord has played her in the past from the Album African Lament. Especially Rites of Passage Parts 1-3.
	10:42am TDK60: Threemoons. I've thought about getting some old-fashioned laundry wringer.
	10:42am Trouble: gracias@portsmouth jay!
	10:46am karlward: Handy: but the WFMU store is out of the Vin Diesel muscle shirt
	10:47am karlward: Not even sure what a muscle shirt is but I want one
	10:47am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and everyone.
	10:47am Trouble: thanks@howgr: will look her up!
	10:48am Trouble: merci@yetibob!
	10:48am TDK60: I must exit for errands. Merci, Trouble.
	10:48am Handy Haversack: We have coin-op machines in the basement, for which I am extremely grateful. The family upstairs still maintains an illicit washing machine, though, so I get to listen to it spin whenever there's a quiet moment on the bathroom boombox. At our last apt., the illicit washing machine upstairs would short out the power at least once per cycle, so we're moving up in the world. karlward, the Vin Diesel muscle T is literally the only shirt in the store. All shirts are Vin Diesel muscle Ts. You just have to know how to wear them.
	10:49am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @TDK I think the lawnmower-pull mini tubs have a pretty vigorous spin cycle. A very good friend of mine had one in her old apartment and still uses it from time to time (she's renovating her ancient saltbox house upstate and pretty much ALL of the major appliances need replacing).
	10:51am Tara: this set , loving it
	10:52am Trouble: help me out here: is she sampling portoisehead OR the peeps portoisehead sampled?
	10:52am Trouble: merci@tara!
	10:53am βrian: Before we had our home with washer & Dryer, we would sometimes use the restaurant-sized salad spinner as part of a light laundry cycle. It handles about 10 pounds at a go.
	10:53am riley: Late good morning. Always come in at a good time here set-wise. And coffee is medicine.
	10:54am thriftstoreleather: Snow Day! The library is closed & I'm off work! Snow Days rule! I think all Cincy Library employees were doing the snow day dance last night! The show goes great with the icy, wintery, blustery happening outside.♥♥♥
	10:55am karlward: trouble: According to Juan Maclean, Portishead rerecorded their samples on a cassette to make them grungier, these samples don't sound like they've had that done to them
	10:56am Trouble: hmmm, that makes sense @ karlward
	10:56am Mark Williams: this Bovell dub is from a song called "A Little Way Different" by Errol Dunkley. If you don't know it, you'd like that song, Trouble.
	10:56am Zinn The Mood: Great story about the science teacher drummer, HyperDose. On the other end of adolescent interactions with teacher drummers my Aunt’s boyfriend at the time had come out with her from the Bronx to hear/see me play with my band in my parent's garage on LI. The thing I remember most is telling me I didn’t have to leave the hi-hat so open when practicing. Being that age I immediately dismissed him (though his point was correct). Of course we were just bashing out the puerile hard rock of the day, which had to be as loud and splashy as possible. It was Live At Leeds in the first place that even made me want to play in a band - how could this guy ever understand!? Amazing that your teacher was taking the time to call your attention to how different cymbals sounded and then advising you. @threemoons With two young kids now we decided very early on that we had to have one here. For just socks, underwear, etc just hand wash and hang. Met a British roadie on tour once who only took two pairs of undies with him. The one who wore that day he’d hang overnight and then use the other one the next day. Thanks @PRB for the Alice Coltrane bio. Have to get around to that at some point.
	10:56am βrian: No snow here on the isthmus, but it was 3°F when I got up this morning.
	10:57am thriftstoreleather: Yikes! That's frickin cold!!
	10:59am βrian: What's being constructed?
	11:00am karlward: βrian: Pseu said it was a swimming pool for the DJs
	11:04am listener james from westwood: Always a good day with Hollie Cook as part of it!
	11:04am sphere: Hmm. I like digital downloads on Bandcamp because they are much cheaper and I don't have to worry about shipping times and postage. I guess I like ghostly music. And hello.
	11:06am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Albquerque is freaking out with its 3 inches of snow. Cars in ditches, people spinning out no traction, 4x4's handling it, mediocre plowing and sanding of roads (we use 2/3 red cinders and 1/3 salt, less rust).....
	11:08am Smurph: Wow, I did not know I needed French beat-boxing in my life until just now!
	11:09am sphere: @Smurph - Agreed. And it's a nice bite of ABBA.
	11:09am Passaic River Blues: @Smurph: the crazy thing is that this record is 20 years old this year. Time needs to stop advancing right. now.
	11:09am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): With the vinyl backup I received a sort of surprise LP yesterday. Bought the Lisa Bella Donna Bob Moog tribute record many moons ago. Kind of forgot I'd requested the record many moons ago.
	11:10am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): working from home today, blaring the fmu
	11:10am sphere: @ Smurph - And you have to love the LP's title.
	11:11am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Trouble: You would love this -> lisabelladonna.bandcamp.com...
	11:12am HyperDose: @Zinn Absolutely. I was lucky to have a few teachers who took the time to get to know their students and be mentors. I also remember the days of playing in cement basements, wanting to be as loud as possible, and thinking it sounded good. My ears prefer the acoustically treated room.
	11:15am listener james from westwood: @Wild Neil: Sounds like when Las Vegas got belted in 2008. Anywhere outside the ski areas up the mountains ringing the valley were totally gobsmacked and without plows, salt, etc. Snowmen near the Fabulous Las Vegas sign and the like!
	11:17am Smurph: @sphere, you do indeed have to love that album title!
	11:20am Zipperhead7: When I lived in Austin and we'd get an occasional light snow, people didn't grasp basic physics -- you can't race a two-ton pickup to a light on snow and expect it stop immediately. I got t-boned three times as a result.
	11:22am Lucky: Can't wait to hear this show!
	11:25am Zinn The Mood: Yeah man. I’ve lost so much hearing in my left ear it’s very troubling. Just took a hearing test at an ENT’s office and the drop off in my left compared to the right is alarming. Put it this way, if I’m laying on my rights side with my right ear covered by the pillow I can only hear a blob of low frequency. Which is weird b/c on the phone it’s always with my left. Goddamn splashy hi-hat is where it might have started… Haven’t played a gig in last 15 years without earplugs. Didn’t know Nina covered “Ooh Girl.” Cool remix.
	11:25am Phillippe: Love the cover of the Boz Scaggs album. Up there with Jackson Browne's Late for the Sky as my favorites from that era
	11:28am rx scabin: I heard these people on the Moder Love Bowie tribute. Highly recommended.
	11:29am rx scabin: Modern, stupid tablet, stupid finger.
	11:30am Zinn The Mood: Glanced at this ^ and thought it was Mother Love Bone…heh!
	11:32am ifeelfatnsassy: This is the second new Habibi song I've heard in as many days
	11:34am rx scabin: OK. Let's see. Trouble's playlist = rx scabin's bandcamp shopping list. Time for a second job.
	11:35am merz.medallion: I'm really syncing up with all this jazz, bonified!
	11:36am Handy Haversack: HyperDose, Zinn, I may have told this story? But we recently FINALLY got a turntable hooked up and working after months and months of trying to get it going. Our first record store trip, I picked up Tom Waits's Small Change on vinyl. Played it later while K8 was cleaning up after dinner. This is something I've had on CD since HS, on the computer since that became a thing. A fairly frequent listen. An album I know really well. And two songs in I was in tears. It all came back that my HS teacher who was really a mentor to me lent me Small Change and Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash on vinyl when I was ~15 and said, "You might enjoy these." And BAM. Brain opened wide to the world. Hearing it on vinyl again was so powerful. And the object, the damn Ding an Sich, was forty-five years old! And sounded fantastic. I catalogued my tapes a couple weeks back and found a ton of stuff he'd dubbed for me: Christy Moore, Jean Redpath, Ewan MacColl, Planxty, all sorts of stuff that I'd never have been able to find as a dumb kid. Sometimes you get lucky. If you have the luck to have been born with the opportunity to find that luck.
	11:37am rx scabin: Puce.
	11:38am Passaic River Blues: The Atlantic article was by Ted Gioia.
	11:38am ifeelfatnsassy: Counterpoint re: new music: www.huffingtonpost.co.uk...
	11:38am merz.medallion: Hauntology
	11:39am Ed: Trouble, I read that same article and also thought that writer was full of beans. he obviously never listens to WFMU.
	11:40am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I wish I had cool teachers in junior high/high school. The closest I got to that was my grade school music teacher, whom in 20/20 hindsight had either a severe substance abuse problem and/or some kind of neurological thing going on. He had posters for Pete Seeger and Simon and Garfunkel all over the classroom as we dooted away on our little plastic recorders, and he played/had us sing stuff from Woodie Guthrie, the Beatles, and S&G. Always ALWAYS wore heavily-tinted aviators and spoke in a clear but very flat monotone. He was alternatively creepy and fascinating to my child's eyes.
	11:40am Pale Son: Hear hear, Trouble! So strongly agree.
	11:41am ChukAmok: That's a beautiful story, Handy. There was a teacher at my HS who knew who Sebadoh was, but then they admitted it was because they had heard them on my radio show. No one else gave a damn.
	11:41am rx scabin: Trouble, his world of music does not include the world of music.
	11:41am Marie: Loving the show, Trouble. Thank-ee!
	11:42am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: PS he NEVER took his glasses off, ever. From K-6 he was our music teacher and only ONCE by a trick of the light, and seeing him in profile, my best friend (still my best friend now, almost 50 years later) confirmed that his eyes were in fact blue. I mean, full amber/blackout lenses with a top mirror fade.
	11:42am Trouble: gracias @ marie!
	11:42am ChukAmok: My two and a half year old niece keeps asking if I have a record player at home. She's fascinated by it, and loves to dance (fast feet!). Think I'll bring the portable and a box of 45's over when I visit with her after work.
	11:43am Analog Nights: Give money to working artists, it's fun!
	11:43am Pale Son: There's so much amazing music being produced and enjoyed right now. If that writer can't be bothered to find out about it, so much the worse for The Atlantic.
	11:44am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: There were a few days when the Cafeteria Ladies who did Discipline/Making Sure We Didn't All Kill Each Other during Lunch weren't available and he had to sub in for them. On those days, we kept our voices down and even the usually crazy/disruptive kids dialed it back because he just emanated waves of WEIRD and nobody really wanted to see what he would do if pushed. Y
	11:44am Zipperhead7: One of the dumbest business decisions in history was the unwillingness of the record industry to license their catalogs to Napster. And Bertelsmann bought an equity stake in Napster at the same time they were suing them!
	11:45am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And this was in a cafeteria that seated the ENTIRE elementary school--we were seated in rows by grade, a few hundred kids...
	11:45am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And yeah, Napster was a missed chance BIGTIME.
	11:45am sphere: In contrast, I got into Chicago as a teen because they had a trombone player and ended up tossing all 18 records because the local used shop wouldn't buy them.
	11:45am ChukAmok: @Threemoons Speaking of Pete Seeger: he was an alum of my HS, and came to visit for a week during my Junior year. That was a rare, but very good week for me. Unfortunately, and again: no one else gave a damn (except some of the older teachers, that is).
	11:46am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Chuck wow!!
	11:47am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: In 20/20 hindsight my poor ol' music teacher simply may have just had a night gig in the City and was constantly exhausted/in an altered state from late night gigs and wore the glasses to hide redeye?
	11:48am waters7: tuning in late because I'm teaching. that sault. wow!
	11:48am ryansterlingvirtue: Incredible show as always. The show is my psychological sign that the weekend is upon us shortly
	11:49am Trouble: merci@ ryansterling! hola @ waters7!
	11:49am Zipperhead7: Perfect segue, Trouble!
	11:49am YETI BOB: 3Moons: I had a piano teacher fall asleep once while I was struggling to play a piece of music. I wish I could remember what the piece was.
	11:49am rx scabin: Thank you for the wonderful show.
	11:50am Passaic River Blues: I think the major problem with the article was, as Trouble noted, Gioia highlighted various trends and aspects of the insanely complex, decades-long process of the disintegration of the traditional major label-dominated music industry (with direct sales, radio, and television distribution) and overly-simplifying and ultimately misdiagnosing these disparate things as a battle between Establish Musicians and New Musicians. You can't take old distribution models and map them to newer ones--comparing stats on user-directed global streaming services to top-down corporate radio programming is just inapposite and an ultimately useless exercise. And I don't say this to defend the various streaming services, which generally only pay exploitative rates to musicians. Also, not discussing or even mentioning bandcamp was a pretty significant oversight by Gioia.
	11:51am Patrick: GM Trouble! Especially Loving this last set of music.
	11:51am scribble: Thanks for all the grey day gorgeousness, Trouble!
	11:52am Dances with Moomins: Thanks for magic music again!
	11:52am HyperDose: Thanks Trouble, and thanks to the teachers and nurses everywhere! Some of my favorite people right there.
	11:54am Lawrence: Love this Style Council track!
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! Great show! (And see yr e-mail!) Stay Troubled, all.
	11:55am Zinn The Mood: Nice rant, Trouble! Probably would have muttered something similar about there being no good new music anymore had I not been tuning in more here. As a result of you fine folks at FMU one quickly concludes the polar opposite: that there’s actually too much good music. Literally, I can hardly keep up with it all. And thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for bringing it to us. Great stories ThreeMoons and Handy, and all the other similar anecdotes! ‘Tis good to be with you all…
	11:56am radioronan: Thanks Trouble!
	11:56am Jason from Houston: Many thanks, good Trouble. Stay safe and sweet out there.
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in, see you next week!
	11:57am morphe': Thanks Trouble and all !!!!!!!
	11:57am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:57am Zipperhead7: @passaic river -- very astute analysis!
	11:58am Ochre Ogre: Handy- Cool story. Small Change on vinyl was my introduction to Tom Waits.
	11:58am minkwest: Hey everybody! Happy Thursday.
	11:58am Ochre Ogre: Thanks Trouble!
	12:01pm blub: Man, I had forgotten this one. when was the last time you heard the style council?
