	9:07am Webhamster Henry: Welcome to the Modern World where there are two alternate sides of a street.
	9:08am Irene: I actually don’t need to move it today, james. Just need to sit in the car so I don’t get a ticket. AAA could be called and I also have one of those jump starter batteries (also dead). I’ll try charging that before calling AAA.
	9:10am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: hi all, hi Trouble , listening and designing…
	9:12am minkwest: Good morning all!
	9:12am Trouble: good vibes to you irene!
	9:12am listener james from westwood: @Irene: Ah, glad it's not a sort of sprint against time, then!
	9:13am Trouble: thanks again @handy for hipping me to that leonora carrington essay. the book is fabulous! read the entire piece to my students yesterday! they loved it.
	9:14am K8: Good morning Trouble and everyone! I love 79.5 so much...VERY excited to see them at C'mon Everybody on Monday with a certain gentleman...
	9:14am Handy Haversack: Anyone else going to see 79.5 next Monday in Brooklyn? I was lured into getting tickets before I was told what other significance next Monday has! No problem at all, Trouble! Glad that I could help -- and that twenty years working in scholarly publishing accomplished something useful!
	9:14am Handy Haversack: Eep! Oh. Hi, K8.
	9:15am ?: this 79.5 is a fave of mine. First discovered her via mailta.pe
	9:17am Pale Son: Morning troubled and troublers! Nice short meeting this morning so I get to catch most of my favourite show. Loving today's art and these sweet sawtooth vibes.
	9:18am melinda: hi everyone
	9:18am Peter in SEA: Bon jour, Trouble and modern listeners. Apparently, it was Baudelaire who first coined the term "modernity". Met Leonora Carrington briefly when she came to the Workshop in '88? Cool cat. I'll have to get that article you mention in chat :-) Why don't more independent stations play 79.5?!
	9:19am chromaphone: Jacob Lawrence is amazing.
	9:20am Trouble: bom dia @ peter!
	9:20am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning Trouble! Morning Trouble Makers!
	9:22am Zinn The Mood: Hey Trouble and troubled folks. Really dug that 79.5 track, and went looking for the year, expecting to se it was from the early 70’s. And now I see Handy talking about them playing Mon night in Bklyn. Hmm…still pretty rigorously adhering to all pandemic guidelines. Which means besides a few months ago going to the Bklyn Folk Fest at St Ann’s church (which is naturally quite spacious and had outdoor grounds) I have been avoiding all venues. Just about to finish Robert Caro’s “Working - researching, interviewing, writing.” Diligent, and compassionate writer committed to investigating how power works and who is effected. Guess I’m finally gonna have to get to The Power Broker someday.
	9:22am Phillippe: @Handy, yeah, I didn't think I'd ever call a seagull "majestic", but he was pretty awesome in the air. Up to a 66 inch wingspan
	9:24am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm just here to report that I love this show and that my next band name will be Pelosi's Gazpacho Police.
	9:24am Buddha of Suburbia: Love this!
	9:26am oshiwoshi: Hi @Trouble > a bad week for our beloved singers - I am so grateful you bring new artists into my world
	9:27am Trouble: merci@ woods. great idea! merci@ oshiwoshi.
	9:28am garlic lover: This album felt like such a saving grace when it came out
	9:29am Buddha of Suburbia: Stunning
	9:29am Trouble: agreed@garlic lover. it still is for me, a constant go to.
	9:29am Passaic River Blues: @Zinn: 79.5 is just fantastic. I don't think Trouble was literally the first DJ on WFMU to play them, but it was in late 2016 and early 2017 I first started hearing their wondrous "Terrorize My Heart" single on TMW. Trouble had Kate, 79.5 brainchild and vocalist, guest DJ and chat back in 2019: wfmu.org...
	9:30am YETI BOB: Slap that thing, Dezron!
	9:30am unpopularfred: while the harp playing is what makes this unique and beautiful, it would not work if the bass playing were not so solid
	9:31am Passaic River Blues: @unpopularfred: yes, absolutely.
	9:31am YETI BOB: not to argue, fred, but for me it's 50/50. perfect duo playing.
	9:32am Peter in SEA: Did ja ever see that Ruben Ostlund film Force Majeure? It was good! :-) And this track is cool!
	9:32am Handy Haversack: Hey, Zinn! I hear you. But we're easing back into going out. K8's band has a show on Sat. We picked a semi-arbitrary marker: when COVID numbers fell back to where they were the last time we went out to a show (12/14), we'd go back into the world. And so here we are. Lost at least one show I was desperate to see to Omicron (Exbats at TV Eye; I can't fully tell whether it was canceled or not).
	9:32am oshiwoshi: teasing us with Leon!
	9:36am Handy Haversack: Doors at 8, at least according to my "tickets."
	9:37am Lixiviated Life: I actually thought This Is The Post-Modern World.. (just goes to show ya)
	9:38am Pale Son: Jackson Browne wrote it for Nico when he was 17! Unbelievable.
	9:39am minkwest: Ahh, thanks Pale. Yeah, I was thinking Nico wrote it.
	9:39am TDK60: I just went out to two open mikes this week, had been holding back for months, since last fall.
	9:39am melinda: what a lovely cover, cat power is great
	9:39am TheoC: Love this Nico cover, Cat Power!
	9:40am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and everyone. I am hoping for a better day.
	9:40am Pale Son: No idea how he had such an understanding of defeat at such a young age.
	9:41am K8: This most recent Cat Power covers album is so good...love it...
	9:42am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Pale Son: No doubt. You read Browne's early lyrics and it just doesn't seem possible that somebody so young could think like that. I certainly couldn't!!
	9:43am TheoC: Jackson Brown ya say? When he was 16 ya say?… well, I just learned something new and cudos to Mr. Brown
	9:45am Pale Son: @Woods It's really mind-/heart-boggling.
	9:46am Zinn The Mood: That’s pretty much the conversation I was having with my guitar player last night, Handy. It’s just beginning to maybe feel like it’s almost, just about, oh so close, to being able to do a few things again. Have to confirm today if I want to participate in a jam at the Cutting Room next month… Said I didn’t care what people thought but I’d probably be wearing a mask while playing (at least that’s how I feel now). 20 bucks to get in, huh? What’s the venue like, in terms of being roomy, air circulation, access to outdoor space, etc? Sorry to pepper you with all that. Thanks for that background and link, PRB!
	9:50am Dances with Moomins: Hello Trouble! Beautiful clear skies over Turku town this afternoon. Greeting to all the Troubled people around the world. I could go for a nice bowl of gazpacho today!
	9:51am will from croton: Jackson wrote it for nico ? Don’t think so
	9:51am Handy Haversack: Never been there before, Zinn, so I have no idea. K8 might know more?
	9:53am rx scabin: The day is now better.
	9:55am Hydroplane: Wait, this is a cover, who is singing this Blueboy song?
	10:01am Stinky: If you could be any type of bird, what type of bird would you be?..
	10:01am Hydroplane: @Trouble Curious who did that Blueboy cover, it was great
	10:02am karlward: I keep thinking she is singing "Neil Young"
	10:02am Hydroplane: @Stinky I'd be Larry, guy has money
	10:02am Stinky: and ups..
	10:07am Handy Haversack: The Infinite just got a little bigger.
	10:08am Passaic River Blues: Oh Jesus Christ, Betty Davis and Syl...that's terrible.
	10:08am Handy Haversack: Rob Hatch-Miller and Puloma Basu's wonderful Syl Johnson doc, "Any Way the Wind Blows": vimeo.com...
	10:08am Red Rover: Guessing everyone knows, but this week's New Yorker has a great Caetano Veloso bio.
	10:09am Passaic River Blues: Syl Johnson on TMW: wfmu.org...
	10:09am Mike W.: Trouble did you frame the appeal of Bandcamp to your young artists as one of the ways to make sure musical artists get paid these days? Would there be a Bandcamp for visual artists
	10:11am Trouble: yes@mike W
	10:12am Hydroplane: I got confused and remembered Clear Skies being sung by Keith, so never mind my mistake
	10:18am Passaic River Blues: Such a fantastic interpretation of Hank Mobley.
	10:19am jmr3: Was hoping you'd play something by Betty
	10:27am Passaic River Blues: Larry Johnson out of this world on this track.
	10:27am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): It's always a good day when a box from Cheap Joe's Art shows up on the doorstep, just sayin'.
	10:29am rx scabin: I love Betty for her music mostlu and for surviving Miles whom I love too (obviously).
	10:30am rx scabin: Typo (fingero?)v mostly not mostlu.
	10:32am Megaroni: Beautiful power
	10:35am Dano59: I like Cat Power a lot (like so many do) but I've been advocating for Susanna Hoffs' covers album, as an equal time initiative
	10:37am melinda: digging the mustard
	10:38am Handy Haversack: I can dig it, Dano59.
	10:38am jmr3: Not just surviving Miles, but turning him on to Hendrix and funk
	10:39am ChukAmok: Hot Mustard's description on the Color Red site: "Hot Mustard executes an unpretentious yet decadent tasting menu in their debut offering, Mother Sauce. Featuring dry-aged drums chopped and blended into buttery bass lines, tangy guitar flavors mellowed by smoky, smooth 70s strings, and kickin’ brass trimmings by Antibalas’ Jordan McLean, the resulting beats are fat enough to clog your arteries."
	10:39am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Dano59: She posted a video a couple of days ago doing an acoustic version of "Manic Monday" It was lovely.
	10:40am rx scabin: @jmr3 indeed.
	10:40am Dano59: when Nez died she had 'You Just May Be the One' featured on her Spotify artist page. Thrre's also a duet with Aimee Mann on a deep cut Badfinger song
	10:42am rx scabin: A much loved Bobbi Humphrey record. The crackling says it all.🙂
	10:45am Passaic River Blues: @rx scabin: no bad cuts on "Fancy Dinner." A Mizell Brothers joint that, if I rightly recall, was a Duane favorite.
	10:46am Bon Boudica: Still digesting that yummy Honey Dijon; it paired beautifully with my coffee
	10:46am Passaic River Blues: *"Fancy Dancer" Wow, guess I am that starving for a night out.
	10:48am Dano59: @Handy, @Zinn: I'm about ready to go out and be in a room with other musicians, I've been super-cautious but am crossing over into enough-is-enough territory
	10:48am ChukAmok: A security guard at an art museum in Yekaterinburg, Russia got bored on their first day on the job and drew eyes on figures in a painting worth $1.3mil. The curator of the exhibition is quoted as saying “His motives are still unknown but the administration believes it was some kind of a lapse in sanity".
	10:50am Handy Haversack: Dano59, that's really what happened with K8, too. She canceled one gig in Jan. but has really had it at this point. With her gig this Sat. and the numbers receding from brain-gogglingly insane to merely elevated, it seems the time is now.
	10:50am oshiwoshi: Syl PHWOAR! +that drummer = YOW
	10:51am Dano59: I had my hands on Syl's vinyl Mythology box at the Euclid Records pop-up at Solid Sound 2013, and didn't bite. That thing weighed a ton! Regretting it now. Really enjoyed seeing him there in '11 though.
	10:52am Andrea: yes- the organ on "Try Me"!!!!
	10:52am unpopularfred: hot pants - the gateway to power
	10:53am Andrea: this organ gives me hot pants.
	11:00am rx scabin: These lyrics!
	11:02am sphere: hey everybody. news: Trump might have taken classified material from the White House. I think this documents scandal has legs.
	11:03am Dano59: he put out a statement: 'fake news'. sez the material was for his presidential library
	11:03am YETI BOB: sphere: yeah, if Hilary's emails were bad, this has to be worse. Still there seems to be this orange Teflon covering the guy. Holding on to hope!
	11:04am Kotzwinkled: house that Wu-Tang built, but yeah. He was no fool!
	11:05am Dano59: his social issues songs really get to me.
	11:07am Peter in SEA: oh shoot, I missed the whole Betty/Syl set on the commute to school! Will listen later, thanks for doing that!
	11:08am karlward: Trouble: As you probably know, Jennifer Herrema was also a model, and here's an interview where Herrema confirms that Betty Davis influenced Royal Trux: chicagoreader.com...
	11:08am oshiwoshi: If i don;t get the chills hearing this, please bury me - cos it means i am dead
	11:09am Chris Hiatt: Tom Dash has been playing Irreversible Entanglements lately as well. Great stuff!
	11:09am Marie: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Much more important breaking news: QUEEMS WINS! The WAB T-shirt contest! Our own queems!
	11:12am Trouble: thanks@karlward!
	11:14am Handy Haversack: mcusercontent.com... The winning design ^^^
	11:15am Passaic River Blues: Holy crap. Good job, Queems!
	11:17am rx scabin: Queems!
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Well, I know one premium I'll be getting. (Two, really. Bird sounds from Trouble? Take my money, please.)
	11:17am Tommy Thompson: Excellent
	11:19am Pale Son: Nice one, way to go! Great design.
	11:19am Zinn The Mood: Jesus, so on the money there, Trouble, about kid’s books. I’m still aghast, after a few years of this, of turning a page and having to catch myself to refrain from reading yet another passage about kids being rewarded with cookies, cake, cream or cupcakes. But also friendly cops. Proof positive that the brainwashing of American children to keep the sugar industry pumping along, while creating a fealty toward “law and order” and the inherent goodness of cops, enrages me. And the publishing houses work hand in hand with the corporate American junk food suppliers and law enforcement. Is there anything more depressing than having to see a uniformed cop (of any stripe) the first thing you encounter at the front door of way too many of our schools? I guess you could say the constant cultural misappropriation of conditioning young children’s palettes for junk food (including the sugary snacks peddled inside and out of the hallways) is equally depressing. Constantly fighting against and insulting from this mainstream monstrosity requires a vigilance you can’t fully appreciate appreciate if you’re not a parent.
	11:20am holland oats: i like this song
	11:20am rx scabin: @Zinn The Mood yes.
	11:20am Ryansterlingvirtue: absolutely next level show today, Trouble. Totally vibing. thanks.
	11:22am Trouble: the owl kids book i mentioned is "ollie the owl who was afraid to fly" by charles boday illustrated by mia boday.
	11:23am rx scabin: @Trouble How is it that every one of your shows is better than the other ones?
	11:23am Zinn The Mood: Oops. *constantly fighting against and insulating from…
	11:23am rx scabin: Of your shows.
	11:24am Trouble: merci! it's because i am a witch@rxscabin
	11:25am Zinn The Mood: Thanks for writing down the title here, Trouble! Sounds like just the kind of book we seek out.
	11:27am Tommy Thompson: RIP Syl Johnson and peace of mind and heart to his family.
	11:28am Trouble: gracias@ryansterling!
	11:29am Handy Haversack: Radio without witches just doesn't work.
	11:32am ?: Last track completely stopped me in my tracks, thanks for playing
	11:32am Megaroni: Just posted cyl johnson vid to my Ig Trouble, thanks for awesome tribute.. I got to see him Bk br park
	11:38am Yes: hey all. loving it
	11:40am YETI BOB: Handy: Ha. That reminds me of this apocryphal Einstein quote - he was asked to explain how radio works - "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
	11:41am Col. Forbin: waiting this DLO3 record in the mail. tight, slinky funk. good band.
	11:42am rx scabin: What album was that?
	11:42am winston legthigh: hello trouble, lizners. is queems here? congrats on your forever immortalized t-shirt design!
	11:42am Handy Haversack: I am alerted. That Einstein guy was pretty smart, YB -- even when he didn't say something!
	11:42am Robm: @Trouble have you ever read a discovery of witches by Deborah harkness? Great trilogy
	11:44am Robm: @Winston queems win it? HOT DAMN
	11:45am People Like Us: awwww
	11:45am jt: I love a good wrong number!
	11:46am Handy Haversack: winston! I alerted queems via e-mail to her praises' being sung over here.
	11:46am winston legthigh: heres the terrific tee!
	11:46am YETI BOB: damn this song is going to make me cry!
	11:47am Andrea: I was just looking up this song!!! Favorite Robert Wyatt! Thank you for a wonderful show and human moments, Trouble.
	11:48am Dano59: witchcraft, serendipity, found sound ... whatever works!
	11:49am Jeff Golick: What's really strange to me is that you picked up the phone.
	11:49am Dano59: well, there's Robert. Who's the other vocalist?
	11:49am Zipperhead7: Coming in late . . . fate is conspiring to keep me from listening in realtime. Anyways. I was cruising down Route 17 in New York and the static stopped just in time to hear Cahk (?) and it was a great serendipitous moment, Groove Without End Amen. Thanks, Trouble! You da best!!!
	11:50am Dano59: phones from the '70s heavy enough to bludgeon someone with are going for $50+ at the local antique mart
	11:50am YETI BOB: Dano: Monica Vasconcelos. It's from Wyatt's final album "Comicopera" which I recommend.
	11:51am Dano59: lovely, thanks Y-Bob!
	11:51am winston legthigh: did you know... einstein's birthday is pi day 3.14
	11:52am Passaic River Blues: This is so lovely.
	11:53am Dano59: 'Star' is one I remember. Love mme. Francoise.
	11:53am rx scabin: Thank you for the great(er) show, Trouble. It made my day much better.
	11:53am YETI BOB: Winston: Two great reasons to celebrate!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: St. Dolly of the Wood! Many, many thanks for a fantastic show today, Trouble. Boil, boil, hot damn it's Trouble! The witchcraft: it works! Later on, all. Stay Troubled!
	11:56am cherry1998: enjoyed the show
	11:56am YETI BOB: No food in the house, I've been meaning to step out for some breakfast, but I couldn't leave because the music was too good... thanks Trouble!
	11:56am winston legthigh: if einstein was born at 15:92 o'clock that would really be amazing. anything's possible in warped space time.
	11:57am Zinn The Mood: I keep seeing a green or yellow phone at Trouble’s place, with a really, really long coiled cord that allows her to walk around during those heartening phone calls. Really enchanting set, thanks! Had been in the doldrums lately and this lifted my spirits today.
	11:57am winston legthigh: thanks trouble. have a nice day everybody!
	11:57am βrian: For you sub-terrestials, David D is coming up on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	11:58am TDK60: Thanks, DJ Trouble.

	11:59am Handy Haversack: Yay, Zoe and Ike!
	11:59am Todd76Pct: Thanks for the great show today, Trouble!
	12:00pm Dano59: the long phone cord is essential. The weight of the phone itself keeps you anchored.
	12:00pm Pale Son: Awesome show, thank you!!!
	12:00pm Dano59: amazing show I couldn't tear myself away. Grazie mille!

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.

	9:02am Robm: Hello trouble and fellow troublemakers
	9:03am Irene: Good morning Trouble and all Modern Worldly people! A nice sunny day in NYC and good music as I deal with Alternate Side Parking and a dead battery.
	9:03am Stinky: Yay!!
	9:03am riley: Good morning!
	9:03am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:04am listener james from westwood: Oh hell, Irene, what a nightmare! Hoping aid is incoming!
	9:05am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all! Off to the showers soon but I absolutely had to check out the WAB T-shirt designs....such a talented lot! @Irene UGH I am so sorry! I don't miss having a car for a nanosecond.
	9:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and those with car troubles.
	9:05am Trouble: good morning good people of the modern world!
	9:06am Handy Haversack: Cool, Phillippe! I have seen them here but just a few times! ARGH, Irene, feeling your pain.
	9:07am Webhamster Henry: Welcome to the Modern World where there are two alternate sides of a street.
	9:08am Irene: I actually don’t need to move it today, james. Just need to sit in the car so I don’t get a ticket. AAA could be called and I also have one of those jump starter batteries (also dead). I’ll try charging that before calling AAA.
	9:10am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: hi all, hi Trouble , listening and designing…
	9:12am minkwest: Good morning all!
	9:12am Trouble: good vibes to you irene!
	9:12am listener james from westwood: @Irene: Ah, glad it's not a sort of sprint against time, then!
	9:13am Trouble: thanks again @handy for hipping me to that leonora carrington essay. the book is fabulous! read the entire piece to my students yesterday! they loved it.
	9:14am K8: Good morning Trouble and everyone! I love 79.5 so much...VERY excited to see them at C'mon Everybody on Monday with a certain gentleman...
	9:14am Handy Haversack: Anyone else going to see 79.5 next Monday in Brooklyn? I was lured into getting tickets before I was told what other significance next Monday has! No problem at all, Trouble! Glad that I could help -- and that twenty years working in scholarly publishing accomplished something useful!
	9:14am Handy Haversack: Eep! Oh. Hi, K8.
	9:15am ?: this 79.5 is a fave of mine. First discovered her via mailta.pe
	9:17am Pale Son: Morning troubled and troublers! Nice short meeting this morning so I get to catch most of my favourite show. Loving today's art and these sweet sawtooth vibes.
	9:18am melinda: hi everyone
	9:18am Peter in SEA: Bon jour, Trouble and modern listeners. Apparently, it was Baudelaire who first coined the term "modernity". Met Leonora Carrington briefly when she came to the Workshop in '88? Cool cat. I'll have to get that article you mention in chat :-) Why don't more independent stations play 79.5?!
	9:19am chromaphone: Jacob Lawrence is amazing.
	9:20am Trouble: bom dia @ peter!
	9:20am Buddha of Suburbia: Morning Trouble! Morning Trouble Makers!
	9:22am Zinn The Mood: Hey Trouble and troubled folks. Really dug that 79.5 track, and went looking for the year, expecting to se it was from the early 70’s. And now I see Handy talking about them playing Mon night in Bklyn. Hmm…still pretty rigorously adhering to all pandemic guidelines. Which means besides a few months ago going to the Bklyn Folk Fest at St Ann’s church (which is naturally quite spacious and had outdoor grounds) I have been avoiding all venues. Just about to finish Robert Caro’s “Working - researching, interviewing, writing.” Diligent, and compassionate writer committed to investigating how power works and who is effected. Guess I’m finally gonna have to get to The Power Broker someday.
	9:22am Phillippe: @Handy, yeah, I didn't think I'd ever call a seagull "majestic", but he was pretty awesome in the air. Up to a 66 inch wingspan
	9:24am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm just here to report that I love this show and that my next band name will be Pelosi's Gazpacho Police.
	9:24am Buddha of Suburbia: Love this!
	9:26am oshiwoshi: Hi @Trouble > a bad week for our beloved singers - I am so grateful you bring new artists into my world
	9:27am Trouble: merci@ woods. great idea! merci@ oshiwoshi.
	9:28am garlic lover: This album felt like such a saving grace when it came out
	9:29am Buddha of Suburbia: Stunning
	9:29am Trouble: agreed@garlic lover. it still is for me, a constant go to.
	9:29am Passaic River Blues: @Zinn: 79.5 is just fantastic. I don't think Trouble was literally the first DJ on WFMU to play them, but it was in late 2016 and early 2017 I first started hearing their wondrous "Terrorize My Heart" single on TMW. Trouble had Kate, 79.5 brainchild and vocalist, guest DJ and chat back in 2019: wfmu.org...
	9:30am YETI BOB: Slap that thing, Dezron!
	9:30am unpopularfred: while the harp playing is what makes this unique and beautiful, it would not work if the bass playing were not so solid
	9:31am Passaic River Blues: @unpopularfred: yes, absolutely.
	9:31am YETI BOB: not to argue, fred, but for me it's 50/50. perfect duo playing.
	9:32am Peter in SEA: Did ja ever see that Ruben Ostlund film Force Majeure? It was good! :-) And this track is cool!
	9:32am Handy Haversack: Hey, Zinn! I hear you. But we're easing back into going out. K8's band has a show on Sat. We picked a semi-arbitrary marker: when COVID numbers fell back to where they were the last time we went out to a show (12/14), we'd go back into the world. And so here we are. Lost at least one show I was desperate to see to Omicron (Exbats at TV Eye; I can't fully tell whether it was canceled or not).
	9:32am oshiwoshi: teasing us with Leon!
	9:36am Handy Haversack: Doors at 8, at least according to my "tickets."
	9:37am Lixiviated Life: I actually thought This Is The Post-Modern World.. (just goes to show ya)
	9:38am Pale Son: Jackson Browne wrote it for Nico when he was 17! Unbelievable.
	9:39am minkwest: Ahh, thanks Pale. Yeah, I was thinking Nico wrote it.
	9:39am TDK60: I just went out to two open mikes this week, had been holding back for months, since last fall.
	9:39am melinda: what a lovely cover, cat power is great
	9:39am TheoC: Love this Nico cover, Cat Power!
	9:40am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and everyone. I am hoping for a better day.
	9:40am Pale Son: No idea how he had such an understanding of defeat at such a young age.
	9:41am K8: This most recent Cat Power covers album is so good...love it...
	9:42am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Pale Son: No doubt. You read Browne's early lyrics and it just doesn't seem possible that somebody so young could think like that. I certainly couldn't!!
	9:43am TheoC: Jackson Brown ya say? When he was 16 ya say?… well, I just learned something new and cudos to Mr. Brown
	9:45am Pale Son: @Woods It's really mind-/heart-boggling.
	9:46am Zinn The Mood: That’s pretty much the conversation I was having with my guitar player last night, Handy. It’s just beginning to maybe feel like it’s almost, just about, oh so close, to being able to do a few things again. Have to confirm today if I want to participate in a jam at the Cutting Room next month… Said I didn’t care what people thought but I’d probably be wearing a mask while playing (at least that’s how I feel now). 20 bucks to get in, huh? What’s the venue like, in terms of being roomy, air circulation, access to outdoor space, etc? Sorry to pepper you with all that. Thanks for that background and link, PRB!
	9:50am Dances with Moomins: Hello Trouble! Beautiful clear skies over Turku town this afternoon. Greeting to all the Troubled people around the world. I could go for a nice bowl of gazpacho today!
	9:51am will from croton: Jackson wrote it for nico ? Don’t think so
	9:51am Handy Haversack: Never been there before, Zinn, so I have no idea. K8 might know more?
	9:53am rx scabin: The day is now better.
	9:55am Hydroplane: Wait, this is a cover, who is singing this Blueboy song?
	10:01am Stinky: If you could be any type of bird, what type of bird would you be?..
	10:01am Hydroplane: @Trouble Curious who did that Blueboy cover, it was great
	10:02am karlward: I keep thinking she is singing "Neil Young"
	10:02am Hydroplane: @Stinky I'd be Larry, guy has money
	10:02am Stinky: and ups..
	10:07am Handy Haversack: The Infinite just got a little bigger.
	10:08am Passaic River Blues: Oh Jesus Christ, Betty Davis and Syl...that's terrible.
	10:08am Handy Haversack: Rob Hatch-Miller and Puloma Basu's wonderful Syl Johnson doc, "Any Way the Wind Blows": vimeo.com...
	10:08am Red Rover: Guessing everyone knows, but this week's New Yorker has a great Caetano Veloso bio.
	10:09am Passaic River Blues: Syl Johnson on TMW: wfmu.org...
	10:09am Mike W.: Trouble did you frame the appeal of Bandcamp to your young artists as one of the ways to make sure musical artists get paid these days? Would there be a Bandcamp for visual artists
	10:11am Trouble: yes@mike W
	10:12am Hydroplane: I got confused and remembered Clear Skies being sung by Keith, so never mind my mistake
	10:18am Passaic River Blues: Such a fantastic interpretation of Hank Mobley.
	10:19am jmr3: Was hoping you'd play something by Betty
	10:27am Passaic River Blues: Larry Johnson out of this world on this track.
	10:27am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): It's always a good day when a box from Cheap Joe's Art shows up on the doorstep, just sayin'.
	10:29am rx scabin: I love Betty for her music mostlu and for surviving Miles whom I love too (obviously).
	10:30am rx scabin: Typo (fingero?)v mostly not mostlu.
	10:32am Megaroni: Beautiful power
	10:35am Dano59: I like Cat Power a lot (like so many do) but I've been advocating for Susanna Hoffs' covers album, as an equal time initiative
	10:37am melinda: digging the mustard
	10:38am Handy Haversack: I can dig it, Dano59.
	10:38am jmr3: Not just surviving Miles, but turning him on to Hendrix and funk
	10:39am ChukAmok: Hot Mustard's description on the Color Red site: "Hot Mustard executes an unpretentious yet decadent tasting menu in their debut offering, Mother Sauce. Featuring dry-aged drums chopped and blended into buttery bass lines, tangy guitar flavors mellowed by smoky, smooth 70s strings, and kickin’ brass trimmings by Antibalas’ Jordan McLean, the resulting beats are fat enough to clog your arteries."
	10:39am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Dano59: She posted a video a couple of days ago doing an acoustic version of "Manic Monday" It was lovely.
	10:40am rx scabin: @jmr3 indeed.
	10:40am Dano59: when Nez died she had 'You Just May Be the One' featured on her Spotify artist page. Thrre's also a duet with Aimee Mann on a deep cut Badfinger song
	10:42am rx scabin: A much loved Bobbi Humphrey record. The crackling says it all.🙂
	10:45am Passaic River Blues: @rx scabin: no bad cuts on "Fancy Dinner." A Mizell Brothers joint that, if I rightly recall, was a Duane favorite.
	10:46am Bon Boudica: Still digesting that yummy Honey Dijon; it paired beautifully with my coffee
	10:46am Passaic River Blues: *"Fancy Dancer" Wow, guess I am that starving for a night out.
	10:48am Dano59: @Handy, @Zinn: I'm about ready to go out and be in a room with other musicians, I've been super-cautious but am crossing over into enough-is-enough territory
	10:48am ChukAmok: A security guard at an art museum in Yekaterinburg, Russia got bored on their first day on the job and drew eyes on figures in a painting worth $1.3mil. The curator of the exhibition is quoted as saying “His motives are still unknown but the administration believes it was some kind of a lapse in sanity".
	10:50am Handy Haversack: Dano59, that's really what happened with K8, too. She canceled one gig in Jan. but has really had it at this point. With her gig this Sat. and the numbers receding from brain-gogglingly insane to merely elevated, it seems the time is now.
	10:50am oshiwoshi: Syl PHWOAR! +that drummer = YOW
	10:51am Dano59: I had my hands on Syl's vinyl Mythology box at the Euclid Records pop-up at Solid Sound 2013, and didn't bite. That thing weighed a ton! Regretting it now. Really enjoyed seeing him there in '11 though.
	10:52am Andrea: yes- the organ on "Try Me"!!!!
	10:52am unpopularfred: hot pants - the gateway to power
	10:53am Andrea: this organ gives me hot pants.
	11:00am rx scabin: These lyrics!
	11:02am sphere: hey everybody. news: Trump might have taken classified material from the White House. I think this documents scandal has legs.
	11:03am Dano59: he put out a statement: 'fake news'. sez the material was for his presidential library
	11:03am YETI BOB: sphere: yeah, if Hilary's emails were bad, this has to be worse. Still there seems to be this orange Teflon covering the guy. Holding on to hope!
	11:04am Kotzwinkled: house that Wu-Tang built, but yeah. He was no fool!
	11:05am Dano59: his social issues songs really get to me.
	11:07am Peter in SEA: oh shoot, I missed the whole Betty/Syl set on the commute to school! Will listen later, thanks for doing that!
	11:08am karlward: Trouble: As you probably know, Jennifer Herrema was also a model, and here's an interview where Herrema confirms that Betty Davis influenced Royal Trux: chicagoreader.com...
	11:08am oshiwoshi: If i don;t get the chills hearing this, please bury me - cos it means i am dead
	11:09am Chris Hiatt: Tom Dash has been playing Irreversible Entanglements lately as well. Great stuff!
	11:09am Marie: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Much more important breaking news: QUEEMS WINS! The WAB T-shirt contest! Our own queems!
	11:12am Trouble: thanks@karlward!
	11:14am Handy Haversack: mcusercontent.com... The winning design ^^^
	11:15am Passaic River Blues: Holy crap. Good job, Queems!
	11:17am rx scabin: Queems!
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Well, I know one premium I'll be getting. (Two, really. Bird sounds from Trouble? Take my money, please.)
	11:17am Tommy Thompson: Excellent
	11:19am Pale Son: Nice one, way to go! Great design.
	11:19am Zinn The Mood: Jesus, so on the money there, Trouble, about kid’s books. I’m still aghast, after a few years of this, of turning a page and having to catch myself to refrain from reading yet another passage about kids being rewarded with cookies, cake, cream or cupcakes. But also friendly cops. Proof positive that the brainwashing of American children to keep the sugar industry pumping along, while creating a fealty toward “law and order” and the inherent goodness of cops, enrages me. And the publishing houses work hand in hand with the corporate American junk food suppliers and law enforcement. Is there anything more depressing than having to see a uniformed cop (of any stripe) the first thing you encounter at the front door of way too many of our schools? I guess you could say the constant cultural misappropriation of conditioning young children’s palettes for junk food (including the sugary snacks peddled inside and out of the hallways) is equally depressing. Constantly fighting against and insulting from this mainstream monstrosity requires a vigilance you can’t fully appreciate appreciate if you’re not a parent.
	11:20am holland oats: i like this song
	11:20am rx scabin: @Zinn The Mood yes.
	11:20am Ryansterlingvirtue: absolutely next level show today, Trouble. Totally vibing. thanks.
	11:22am Trouble: the owl kids book i mentioned is "ollie the owl who was afraid to fly" by charles boday illustrated by mia boday.
	11:23am rx scabin: @Trouble How is it that every one of your shows is better than the other ones?
	11:23am Zinn The Mood: Oops. *constantly fighting against and insulating from…
	11:23am rx scabin: Of your shows.
	11:24am Trouble: merci! it's because i am a witch@rxscabin
	11:25am Zinn The Mood: Thanks for writing down the title here, Trouble! Sounds like just the kind of book we seek out.
	11:27am Tommy Thompson: RIP Syl Johnson and peace of mind and heart to his family.
	11:28am Trouble: gracias@ryansterling!
	11:29am Handy Haversack: Radio without witches just doesn't work.
	11:32am ?: Last track completely stopped me in my tracks, thanks for playing
	11:32am Megaroni: Just posted cyl johnson vid to my Ig Trouble, thanks for awesome tribute.. I got to see him Bk br park
	11:38am Yes: hey all. loving it
	11:40am YETI BOB: Handy: Ha. That reminds me of this apocryphal Einstein quote - he was asked to explain how radio works - "You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."
	11:41am Col. Forbin: waiting this DLO3 record in the mail. tight, slinky funk. good band.
	11:42am rx scabin: What album was that?
	11:42am winston legthigh: hello trouble, lizners. is queems here? congrats on your forever immortalized t-shirt design!
	11:42am Handy Haversack: I am alerted. That Einstein guy was pretty smart, YB -- even when he didn't say something!
	11:42am Robm: @Trouble have you ever read a discovery of witches by Deborah harkness? Great trilogy
	11:44am Robm: @Winston queems win it? HOT DAMN
	11:45am People Like Us: awwww
	11:45am jt: I love a good wrong number!
	11:46am Handy Haversack: winston! I alerted queems via e-mail to her praises' being sung over here.
	11:46am winston legthigh: heres the terrific tee!
	11:46am YETI BOB: damn this song is going to make me cry!
	11:47am Andrea: I was just looking up this song!!! Favorite Robert Wyatt! Thank you for a wonderful show and human moments, Trouble.
	11:48am Dano59: witchcraft, serendipity, found sound ... whatever works!
	11:49am Jeff Golick: What's really strange to me is that you picked up the phone.
	11:49am Dano59: well, there's Robert. Who's the other vocalist?
	11:49am Zipperhead7: Coming in late . . . fate is conspiring to keep me from listening in realtime. Anyways. I was cruising down Route 17 in New York and the static stopped just in time to hear Cahk (?) and it was a great serendipitous moment, Groove Without End Amen. Thanks, Trouble! You da best!!!
	11:50am Dano59: phones from the '70s heavy enough to bludgeon someone with are going for $50+ at the local antique mart
	11:50am YETI BOB: Dano: Monica Vasconcelos. It's from Wyatt's final album "Comicopera" which I recommend.
	11:51am Dano59: lovely, thanks Y-Bob!

	11:53am rx scabin: Thank you for the great(er) show, Trouble. It made my day much better.
	11:53am YETI BOB: Winston: Two great reasons to celebrate!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: St. Dolly of the Wood! Many, many thanks for a fantastic show today, Trouble. Boil, boil, hot damn it's Trouble! The witchcraft: it works! Later on, all. Stay Troubled!
	11:56am cherry1998: enjoyed the show
	11:56am YETI BOB: No food in the house, I've been meaning to step out for some breakfast, but I couldn't leave because the music was too good... thanks Trouble!
	11:56am winston legthigh: if einstein was born at 15:92 o'clock that would really be amazing. anything's possible in warped space time.
	11:57am Zinn The Mood: I keep seeing a green or yellow phone at Trouble’s place, with a really, really long coiled cord that allows her to walk around during those heartening phone calls. Really enchanting set, thanks! Had been in the doldrums lately and this lifted my spirits today.
	11:57am winston legthigh: thanks trouble. have a nice day everybody!
	11:57am βrian: For you sub-terrestials, David D is coming up on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
