WFMU: This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from May 5, 2022

Listener comments!
	9:00am Handy Haversack: Bright Thursday greets, Trouble and all the Troubled. The white cat on the playlist page still makes me catch my breath. RIP, Lulu, our Princess Marshmallow.
	9:00am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:02am Handy Haversack: We got to say hi to a black-throated blue warbler, an American redstart, an ovenbird, a white-crowned sparrow, and a fox sparrow, in addition to all the usual suspects, while sitting outside on Tue. evening.
	9:03am G: Whitebreasted something, hairy woodpecker, breeding season. This is not safe harbor time lol
	9:03am Ken From Hyde Park: A) The birds are watching us. B) They don't like what they see.
	9:03am Strandlund: Nothing But Trouble...I'm Okay With That!!
	9:03am Peter in SEA: The Modern world is a very satisfactory resonant sound on Thursdays! Bon jour Trouble and everyone. It's finally light at 6 AM!
	9:04am Handy Haversack: Oh, yeah, first catbird of the season was out there yesterday! Heh, G.
	9:04am BnowB: My friend Kevin told me about your amazing meadowlands birding adventure I missed. He assumed I was going... maybe next time. Sounds... like ya'll had a blast. Hawk Watch Montclair representing :)))
	9:04am Passaic River Blues: @Handy: those are choice bird friends. Where did you spy those guys? Black-throated blues and fox sparrows are some of my favorites. @Ken HP: hahahaha Funny...and true.
	9:05am Peter from Dover NJ: My cat is snoring as the bird calls are described. I've been to the hawk watch on Wildcat Ridge, but not the one in Montclair...
	9:05am Peter in SEA: Is that a sponge in the Angel's hand on the playlist page?
	9:06am Zipperhead7: Good morning Trouble and Modernists! It puts an interesting spin on the day when a bird says "drink your whiskey" at 9:04 am
	9:06am Listener Gregory: Drink your tea; drink your whiskey—I’m getting mixed messages here.
	9:07am Trouble: good morning to all you robins with a sore throat!
	9:07am Handy Haversack: PRB: In our crappy Brooklyn back "yard"! The fox sparrow hangs out consistently with my Sparrow Army. Peter: Same question here!
	9:07am Trouble: super thanks to all who came out early on saturday morning to enjoy the magic of the meadowlands. Giant thanks to even cutler and his fellow bird guides.
	9:07am The Oscar: Mornin' Thursday birds! I always expect my cat to go nuts for these recordings, but so far she's aloof.
	9:08am G: The peewee! Can the titmouse be far off?
	9:10am manana: This is just great...
	9:10am JeremyB: Good morning!
	9:10am Passaic River Blues: And thanks to Trouble for organizing that glorious outing in the Meadowlands!
	9:10am Slamtonio: What was the one, the mysterious note of the ‘Derry’?
	9:10am Robm: Hello trouble and fellow troublemakers let’s make some good trouble
	9:10am Passaic River Blues: Veery, a cute thrush.
	9:10am Dave in VT: Good morning! I just came in from birding, and now here are more birds! Thanks, Trouble!
	9:10am BnowB: Spotted a lovely cardinal this morning... The birds the narrator... I can skip my anxiety meds.
	9:11am JeremyB: Thank you so much for the Birding event last weekend! My wife and I had a wonderful time and met some awesome people.
	9:11am JeremyB: This guy was sampled in a Meat Beat Manifesto song I think.
	9:11am Slamtonio: Thx!!
	9:12am BnowB: I need this record in my life. Oh wait.. archives!
	9:12am greg: My cat is going nuts
	9:13am TDK60: Good morning, DJ Trouble. I had to miss the meadow walk. Next time?
	9:13am Strandlund: My cats love Hummingbirds...they're the only bird that comes with it's own toothpick.
	9:14am BnowB: I can't believe I missed a wfmu birding adventure and one of my best tennis friends was there! oy vey lol
	9:14am oshiwoshi: Gooogled the title of the show and found it was a book - Buy used from US$495
	9:14am βrian: A mourning dove was hanging out on the ledge of my kitchen window. The cooing was loud enough to startle me.
	9:15am chiapat: Fun stroll & bird watch at the meadowlands last Saturday! Thanks for setting it up Trouble and for the cookie! Evan & the other guides were fantastic!
	9:15am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm on the lookout for the less common yellow-headed blackbird.
	9:15am Handy Haversack: I was taking the ferry back to Greenpoint from a softball game on the LES in Manhattan once a few years back, waiting to transfer in Long Island City, and the wind blew a little white-eyed vireo right into the plexiglass wall! I scopped it up and held it in my hand to keep it warm until the ferry came, and it was still stunned then, so it rode the ferry to Brooklyn with me! I got to a bush on the Greenpoint pier and could feel it stirring, so I opened my hand, and it must have recovered. Flew to bush, fence, and back to bush. A much happier story than when we found the concussed owlet.
	9:15am Scott in Maryland: These lovely bird songs remind me of the late, great Robert J. Lurtsema and his opening sound montage for "Morning Pro Musica", the radio program he hosted on public radio on WBGH in Boston for nearly 30 years.
	9:15am BnowB: wow 495$$$!
	9:16am βrian: That wood thrush really gets me.
	9:16am YETI BOB: Good morning Trouble and everyone! The cats are absolutely loving this.
	9:17am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Scott in Maryland: I read something about the start of that show recently. Sometimes the birds would go on much longer than other times. Turns out it was because Robert J. was late to the studio! Ha.
	9:17am captain beef fart: Funny we don’t often see Baltimore orioles in Baltimore.
	9:17am kevlicki: Good morning trouble and all! I named my farm after the wood thrush because of how beautiful their song is and they were always in the woods when I was foraging for morel mushrooms every spring. Haven’t heard them in the woods yet but they should be back right about now
	9:18am βrian: Yes, fond memories of the Pro Musica birds here, as well.
	9:19am Uleeshuh TN: I am a lot more relaxed now ☺️
	9:19am YETI BOB: Scott: I lived in Boston (Cambridge) for a decade, used to listen to Robert J. every day. Somehow I never think about that period in my life. Thanks for reminding me! He was a classic radio guy, with a perfect voice and presenatation, like Chicago's Dick Buckley.
	9:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm in my Tuesday/Thursday standup. Lack of music is super-annoying.
	9:20am Uleeshuh TN: kevlicki, nice!
	9:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Did you listen to Eric in the Evening too?
	9:20am Red Rover: Telebossa! this was Trouble/modern world regular 10 years ago or so, I think.
	9:20am G: eu sonhei que tu estavas tao linda = I dreamed that you were so beautiful
	9:21am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: bonjour trouble and hello listeners…
	9:23am Irene: Glad I’m able to listen to these lovely sounds this morning, Trouble!
	9:23am Listener Gregory: Shades of Tuva!
	9:23am rx scabin: Throat singing!
	9:25am captain beef fart: I’ve only found a few morels so far this season. Friends have found pounds.
	9:31am YETI BOB: Woods: No, I never caught that show. I'm a morning radio listener, wake up and turn the radio on, usually by evening I'm doing other things!
	9:31am chresti: Morning Trouble and trouble seekers!
	9:33am YETI BOB: What's going on in the painting? Angel has a sword in one hand and sponge in the other ... allegory?
	9:34am YETI BOB: [Would have LOVED to be there on the bird-watch]
	9:36am Ken From Hyde Park: My eyeball-based estimate was that there were maybe 70 to 75 bird enthusiasts at the park last Saturday. Thanks for the team effort to put it together.
	9:38am Johnny Staten Island: I unfortunately missed it. Trouble are you planning for another one?
	9:39am chresti: Is it dirty jazz or sirty jazz?
	9:39am Trouble: paula rego is a firece portugese/british painter who tackled the portugese outlawing of abortion in many of her paintings. www.bbc.com...
	9:39am Handy Haversack: Of possible interest to folx here on: "Ukraine, Russia, NATO, & Anti-Imperialism Today: Join Salvage and Haymarket Books for a discussion of the war in Ukraine and how the international left should respond." Tomorrow at 3 PM ET: www.eventbrite.com...
	9:40am Nikita: Sexy Jazz 🔥
	9:40am YETI BOB: "Her magnificent Angel (1998), which will be in the show and which she sees as one of her most important paintings, has been said to stand for vengeance and redemption, but if you look closely at her expression, it holds you because it is unfathomable." (Guardian)
	9:41am jt: Yea~ Scott We are all fans of Robert J. Lurtsema. Bird-song is a perfect way to start the day, birds have known this for millions of years ! My Mom remembers, as R.J-L. had his radio show out of Gloucester, MA. would simply leave the station for lunch and broadcast 'dead-air' until he returned from his mid-day meal. My Mom also showed me a copy of his book of collected writing, mostly poetry.
	9:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: That was a good jazz show. I saw Eric Jackson give a talk and he had this great anecdote about how the GBH phones went nuts the first time he played Pharoah Sander's "Astral Traveling" from Thembi. People were like "What the hell is that?!!"
	9:42am chresti: Paula Rego is still alive!
	9:47am YETI BOB: (from WP) In addition to his calm manner, Lurtsema displayed a subtle sense of humor. On April Fools' Day 1982, he stood in for the singing birds with his own deadpan chirping, and on April Fools' Day 1992, the birds were replaced by howling wolves. Aware of his reputation for long pauses, on another April Fools' Day Lurtsema presented selections of his "best pauses." On the morning after the presidential election of 1980, Lurtsema joked that "there is no news worth reporting this morning" and proceeded with the program
	9:47am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modernaires! This Platanos has some serious Forbidden Planet vibes!
	9:50am Zipperhead7: I'd alway wanted to go traipsing around the Meadowlands, so last Saturday was the perfect excuse to do so. I had to laugh when someone said they'd never seen so many WFMU bumperstickers apart from a Yo La Tengo concert
	9:51am Webhamster Henry: I also used to listen to Robert J Lurtsema.. I hope you folks got a chance to listen to Reveil over the weekend. That's a 24 hour streamcast following dawn from London westward by swapping out audio feeds every 15 minutes or so. Many were from nature preserves. Catch it again next year!
	10:01am Webhamster Henry: Reveil:: soundtent.org...
	10:02am Handy Haversack: Sorry, I did the math wrong. That event I posted is at noon Eastern tomorrow. For some reason I thought it was in Pacific time.
	10:04am Dano59: The May morning bird walk kind of hit home when he said cardinals abound in the Northeast. I used to have them all the time in my backyard, haven't seen any in my 7 years back here. Used to have a woodpecker too, but his favorite tree fell. His AND the bugs' fault. Henry: ... was Reveil archived at all?
	10:07am Webhamster Henry: @Dano no, but you can run it yourself (!), kind of, with this sound map: locusonus.org...
	10:08am Passaic River Blues: Oh man, this is lovely.
	10:09am Passaic River Blues: Should have known it was Asha.
	10:09am Handy Haversack: I feel like "just a little housekeeping" comes from the world of conferences. "Lunch has been moved and will be in the Mahogany Room. The panel on supply-chain issues has been delayed." Like that.
	10:12am Dano59: "housekeeping" corporate meeting-speak too, like it's business apart from the usual. Me, I like the NRBQ song. ooh Sandy Posey...
	10:13am BVP: Cheery back beat at least.
	10:16am Listening Out There: Hi Trouble and bird people…
	10:16am Baja Joe: Hello Trouble, my favorite kind.
	10:17am Webhamster Henry: This tune is so Southern Gothic.
	10:17am The Oscar: I recently learned that my grandfather grew up in Choctaw Ridge!
	10:18am Handy Haversack: Last time I heard this song was also on this show, I am pretty sure. I remember it -- driving back from dropping off a water-quality sample last summer.
	10:18am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Just got here...great song to start my day with! A CLASSIC.
	10:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Pacific time is for Bandcamp Friday, Handy. Maybe that's what you were thinking. www.isitbandcampfriday.com
	10:18am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyy there... Good morning.
	10:18am Zipperhead7: Oh my. Bobbie Gentry. Be still, my heart
	10:18am jt: Yeti Bob~ Great: "there is no news worth reporting this morning"
	10:18am Harry Corvair: This mix .. hits hard, hard. Thank you, Trouble.
	10:19am eric from lake hiawatha: Thanks for these last stellar ladies tellin’ stories!
	10:19am Robm: Have any listeners to therese show last night heard it? she was breathing fire
	10:20am xtrakrispy: @robm Yes, she was!
	10:20am Passaic River Blues: @Robm: I have not, but will bookmark for post-Trouble time. Thank you for the tip.
	10:20am Dano59: she was indeed, @Robm
	10:21am Handy Haversack: Maybe so, Ken! Yeah, Therese was incandescent!
	10:21am Robm: @Xtracrispy i think she came very close to throwing f bombs last night on the air
	10:21am still b/p: Were there record and radio guys at the time of Ode to Billie Joe saying, "That? That's not a pop hit. It's all wrong for a pop hit! Never gonna be a pop hit!"
	10:22am Robm: @PRB listen to her talking and your welcome
	10:22am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: All--what time is Theresa's show so that I can hit the archives? I also need to listen to Ken n Andy getting stoned...
	10:23am Passaic River Blues: @3Moons: I believe this is the playlist link: wfmu.org...
	10:23am Robm: 3M 9 eastern on Wednesday
	10:23am TDK60: Robm, yes, I was at that Therese show. She was great. Great tunes. \| Oh, also, I like housecleaning, sweeping, mopping.
	10:23am Handy Haversack: She played this last night! Preach it, Loretta!
	10:23am Dano59: I think coming on the heels of the teen tragedy song era, Billie Joe had commercial potential. That it was just her voice and guitar plus orchestration was the oddity of it.
	10:23am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Passaic, thank you--yeah, still shaking out the cobwebs, shoulda checked there first....gah...need coffee....
	10:23am Harry Corvair: Yeah, Therese lit it up last night. Incandescent.
	10:23am ?: good morning Trouble and fellow makers....we're going to have to make some trouble soon...not feeling so cheery at the moment...sorry to get so "political" so early, but along with the continuing efforts of a small minority of mostly men who want to rid the US of a somewhat democratic system of government, the infant bearing half of us are now being sent back to the dark ages...
	10:24am oshiwoshi: Loretta Lynn - BOOM!
	10:24am Robm: @Trouble Becky played this song last night
	10:24am Yes: :)
	10:24am Passaic River Blues: @Threemoons: absolutely no problem!
	10:24am Dano59: the comment on rural doctors thanking Loretta was neat.
	10:24am ? prudy: they'll want to outlaw that too...
	10:25am KWilde: https://cocaineandrhinestones.com/bobbie-gentry-exit-stage-left
	10:25am Dano59: not wrong, @prudy ... we're headed for Gilead in a damn hurry
	10:25am Handy Haversack: Right, Robm, it was Becky. The DJs was bringing it last night!
	10:26am Steve in bearsville: Hey we love this song too!
	10:26am Dano59: trouble's really rolling out some classics! in JoeMcG fashion
	10:26am Webhamster Henry: Another tune to play is Brecht/Eisler's Abortion is Illegal: nyfos.org...
	10:26am ? prudy: love the tunes, Trouble...
	10:26am eric from lake hiawatha: You are on a roll! You go girl!
	10:26am Ken From Hyde Park: "Vote the bums out" needs to start trending. #votethebumsout
	10:27am Robm: &Handy they always do too bad sheliab is off this week, would love to hear her take on this
	10:27am Zipperhead7: YES! Stellar set, Trouble!
	10:30am Andres: Good morning! Really great selection of songs, Trouble!
	10:30am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm hoping that this is the moment that provides momentum for people to get out there for the midterms. It's a slight hope. My fear is that even if that does happen, a lot of states controlled by republicans are just going to decide they don't like the results and throw them out.
	10:30am Therese: I love you, Trouble.
	10:32am Trouble: i LOVE you Therese!
	10:34am prudy: Woods: I'd like to feel that too...but in so many ways a minority of mostly men control many aspects of what happens in this country, and the world in general..
	10:34am Dano59: Put me down for the next birdwatch outing. I once drove all the way down to a park in NJ for an Idiot's Delight BBQ gathering - it had been plannedl, and went on, the Sunday after 9/11. There was a spot in the park you could see lower Manhattan from.
	10:35am Dano59: it's gonna/gotta be more than just showing up to vote, @Woods ... showing up in large and loud. numbers before November, and doing outreach to get out the vote and motivate people, will make a difference.
	10:38am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Wish I could do the bird thing, but me being anywhere at 8:30 AM, unless I was already there the night before, are grim. Also need to pull together stuff for Mother's Day...bro and new arrival still out there with her and we're having what will undoubtedly be our last Mother's Day together with her alas.
	10:40am Dano59: A lot of these evolutionary throwbacks could be voted out, for example: grassrootsdempolitics.com...
	10:41am prudy: thanks for info Dano59
	10:42am Pale Son: Waiting for Michael McDonald.
	10:42am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Another thing that ALL women need to do is start getting their shit together RE pre-emptive Plan B purchases. There's also a bunch of networks for abortion pills, and even a biohacking DIY group for making your OWN. Like ivermectin, one of the more common abortion pills is available in bulk as a horse ulcer treatment.
	10:42am Webhamster Henry: What a Brazilian Fool Believes.
	10:43am oshiwoshi: Webhamster Henry:YES!
	10:43am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: www.vice.com...
	10:44am Pale Son: You can't outlaw abortion, only safe abortion.
	10:44am Zipperhead7: I wonder how folks in their 70s and 80s who were at the forefront of the Civil Rights and feminist movements must feel at seeing all their hard-won gains erode.
	10:44am Dano59: haha Henry. ...primarying Chuck Schumer isn't a bad idea either. We want ACTION! like the Best Show often preached
	10:45am Pale Son: Here he comes!
	10:45am prudy: three moons...that too, but actually MEN who want to fuck around freely need to start taking some fucking responsibility...
	10:45am Quinn: Thank you, this was driving me nuts XD
	10:45am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I spent all of my student years --from Regan onward -- doing pro-choice clinic defense work. This pisses me off beyond belief.
	10:45am Jason from Houston: Same, Quinn. LOL
	10:46am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Prudy I think that history has shown that alas, that's not a reliable long term plan.
	10:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw a guy talking yesterday about the reason the r's are only talking about the leak. And that was that the party actually knows the numbers for repealing Rowe are actually pretty low and this action (if it happens) is not good for them politically. I don't know anymore. Dems need to hammer home this point. They probably won't.
	10:46am Dano59: I marched at the RNC in '04, worked to get out the vote in PA in '20, and I'm planning on both conventions in '24.
	10:46am prudy: three moons...yep...dealing with Operation Rescue...the precursors to the current idiots..
	10:47am Webhamster Henry: I live in N Y 19 so we have a tough time filling Delgado's seat. I'd rather like Pat Ryan to keep being county exec. I'd like Zephyr Teachout to run again, but I think she's past that stage and people didn't get her past the primary stage last time she ran.
	10:47am Dano59: mandatory reversible vasectomies! limiting access to Viagra! Fair is fair.
	10:48am -bot sdr-: 345 345 345 567 264 789 6 7 129749 7496 7 6 1296. 6 7 -ende-
	10:48am Robm: @Prudy yeah guys who act like players and chase anything they can find
	10:48am Handy Haversack: I have a certificate of merit from the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. Why reverse a perfectly good vasectomy? Hand 'em out on street corners!
	10:49am Zipperhead7: When I lived in Tulsa, ACORN helped set up a free clinic on the north side of town. Then-mayor, now-senator James Inhofe fussed and fumed at a city council meeting that it was a communist plot. One of the members turned to me and asked "What do the Russians want with Moten Health Clinic?"
	10:49am Dano59: a lot of the male attitude is nurture, not nature -- and the privileged class is the worst. This from seeing Ivy League students up close.
	10:49am still b/p: Lanca Perfume apparently was a year or two after Fool, just for for near-twin trivia's sake. There will be protests and drives, but I don't know if we can hope for mobilization truly large enough to make politicians sweat and have their heads spun.
	10:50am Stanley: No kids here, either. Doing my bit for the environment.
	10:50am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: The Dems need to start bringing a Howitzer and not a fucking pickled herring to the gunfight. Dig every scandal to the bottom. Hammer real-life examples of poverty and such into the ground. Humiliate the Rethuglican base for their stupidity; never stop telling them how their choices made their states uninhabitable and how their leadership failed them. Be MEAN. Fuck polite.
	10:50am prudy: me too...glad I'm past child bearing age...
	10:51am Dano59: They'll sweat if people start breaking things and we run hearty opposition and shame-the-sh**-out-of-them tactics.
	10:52am Dano59: AND how they. have historically effed up the economy and quality of. life conditions for ordinary. working people, Threemoons!
	10:52am S: Can I just say - this show has been straight FIRE ty trouble
	10:52am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And on a personal note, I have wanted my tubes done since I was 21. I kept being refused....until I was 42, and then, only because my Ob-Gyn wanted to push Essures (which I was OK with; wanted to avoid abdominal incisions as I want to get back to lifting weights again eventually). Still, the fact that I had to wait 20+ years to make a decision about MY OWN FUCKING BODY that led to "no babies" when I could have gotten pregnant at any time and carried it to term without anyone else's input speaks volumes about just how fucked we are.
	10:52am ChukAmok: @dano I was also marching on the RNC in '04. The Critical Mass ride on the first Friday was epic. The Women's Rights march across the Brooklyn Bridge was also very well attended.
	10:55am prudy: agreed 3 moons..
	10:55am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: OTOH Essures were being over-pushed because you allegedly didn't need to skip a day of work and they were cheap and easy to put in. I later learned that a ton of them were being put into impoverished working women in the Bronx. I myself had complications--MONTHS of heavy bleeding to the point of anemia; needed a few X-rays to make sure I hadn't thrown one of them, etc.
	10:55am Dano59: @zipperhead: I remember working with an ACORN chapter in post-Katrina New Orleans around the time RW media was having a cow about them. For having the audacity to help poor people have a sliver of a chance at survival. The SEIU - the janitors' union! - got the same treatment. This freaking country is entirely backwards from its own ideals.
	10:56am ChukAmok: @Threemoons The dems are too ideologically similar to the gqp's, and they still get paid so why would they bother? Cut off the big money going to them and maybe they will start to show some integrity for once.
	10:57am Dano59: I can send on some Cornell Lab of Ornithology records from the Friends of the Ithaca Library book sale. PM me.
	10:57am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Ultimately Bayer pulled them. I remember speaking to one of the doctors who backed their development personally (male) and really enthused about them. He even said "when you get older and get a hysterectomy we'd like to be in touch to see how the implants held up." UGH. Like he was ASSUMING that this was a normal part of women's healthcare. It's all gross and horrible. I'm sad that another contraceptive device is off market, but nothing is stepping in to replace it. www.fda.gov...
	10:58am Pale Son: NO wise man has the power...
	10:58am Zipperhead7: Oh my god!!! I remember hearing this song pouring out of jukeboxes in Italy many years ago and haven't heard it since . . . been going nuts for years trying to find it again!
	10:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I hope the quiz is on mimeograph paper.
	10:59am Handy Haversack: It would be nice to think that, ChukAmok, but there's zero evidence that it's the case. Both aspects of the political class care only about power and the money that keeps them in it. We're asking a corrupt private company to save us from another corrupt private company instead of wondering how we can prevent this tony class of people from having the power to bestow and retake rights at the whim of their own drives for power.
	10:59am TDK60: The Demz need to stop running anti-choice candidates like Cuellar in Texas. The Repugnants are horrid. But the decrepit Demz are weak.
	10:59am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And let's not forget that even tubal ligation isn't 100% effective: www.chicagotribune.com...
	11:00am prudy: handy...nicely said...
	11:00am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @TDK60 THAT is what I hate about the Dems. Never up for a real fight. Gore should have never accepted Bush vs. Gore. Think what a different place it would be now if Gore had rightfully been President.
	11:00am unpopularfred: ...seduced and left by the side of the road, just like Susan Collins
	11:01am Dano59: the Dems' biggest mistake was going after elites and ignoring labor and middle America. DNC leadership is just the other. side. of the coin of the more blatant f***ery in the GOP. Different ideas, same goals and m.o.
	11:01am Dano59: OK I'm listening
	11:02am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And the Electoral College, a shameful relic of the slaveholder era, has got to go. There is no fucking reason why some cousin-fucking drooler in Wyoming should get 4x the voting power of someone in CA or similar.
	11:02am Listening Out There: Somebody say "Amen!"
	11:02am Pale Son: Amen!
	11:02am oshiwoshi: Amen
	11:02am HooHa: The goal is to grow more conservative consumer pod people
	11:02am Jason from Houston: AMEN
	11:03am prudy: A fucking men
	11:03am spodiodi: Amen spodiodi
	11:03am Passaic River Blues: GOP: Life begins at conception and ends at birth.
	11:03am Patster: Amen!!
	11:03am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HooHa YEP. This country is a human farm to create lowest-common denominator workers and consumers.
	11:03am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: PREACH TROUBLE.
	11:04am Yes: Thank you trouble
	11:04am Dano59: no, they're trying to. attract evangelical voters. Concern for anyone born or unborn is not on their minds.
	11:04am still b/p: "how we can prevent this tony class of people from having the power to bestow and retake rights at the whim of their own drives for power." Maybe 5000 year old quandary. At least 2000+ years old in ways dispiritingly familiar to us.
	11:04am Roberto: Preach Trouble and Preach, Trouble!
	11:04am Doctor B.: Tell it all, sister. The Supremist Court's decision on abortion is an abomination!
	11:04am Dano59: beautiful, Trouble.
	11:05am Panther: It’s rants like that that make me want to cancel my monthly pledge
	11:05am Roberto: The greater abomination is the most unqualified piece of scum on earth was allowed to appoint not one, not two, but three justices for life.
	11:05am Andres: And keep speaking out!
	11:06am Dano59: It's rants like that that make me proud of what's left of our first Amendment protections
	11:06am unpopularfred: @ Panther - don't let the door hit you...
	11:06am prudy: part of the problem is the way Roe is written...since it was made law it has allowed "states rights" to mess with it and hence has limited access by low income women and women of color...
	11:06am Handy Haversack: Well, still/bp, we have less than a hundred years to figure it out, or it won't matter anyway.
	11:06am TDK60: Next on the fashie Amerikaner patriarchal list: gay marriage.
	11:07am Dano59: there are plenty. of other voices in the wilderness to agree with. While the world burns.
	11:07am Handy Haversack: TDK60, you might be interested in this. I think I posted before you came on board. Tomorrow at noon: www.eventbrite.com...
	11:07am Webhamster Henry: The EC and the Senate are about States making decisions, not people. Originally, the Senate was appointed by state legislatures, probably from their own ranks, so that they at least had some respect and experience in legislation and the issues of their states. Once Senators became popularly elected, that changed its essential nature. Not that it was a good nature to begin with, but the bicameral system dates from when states were conceptually more like individual countries, needing interstate commerce regulation. The Federal government was weaker. But more disturbing here is the neglect of deference to universal human rights as a legislative standard.
	11:08am Icecream Hoagie: The Dems deliberately stall on big issues like this and 15 dollar min wage, single payer health care, ect so they can raise more cash. Don't believe me? Just read the party leaderships own words. Dems won't save us, they are as corrupt as the other side. Time to stop thinking voting will cure anything and start burning it all down
	11:09am YETI BOB: OMG my Dad had this "everything you ever wanted to hear on the moog" LP (as a lot of Dads probably did!) Time-traveling to the 1970s now. Thanks Trouble!
	11:10am TDK60: Gracias, Handy. Not sure I can make it. (Maybe you could summarize later?)
	11:10am Dano59: Human rights NOW: cdn.shopify.com...
	11:11am YETI BOB: Icecream Hoagie: That's a false equivalence, the Dems are not as corrupt as the MAGAs. But they are damn disappointing.
	11:12am Webhamster Henry: I had España on a Stereo Demonstration record! I guess it was a go-to Hi-Fi show off piece.
	11:12am joe mulligan: My brother used to play all sorts of moog music in the 70s when I was a kid. I thought it was normal. here we are now, thanks for playing this chabrier:espana track Trouble!
	11:13am Dano59: also, let's all do what we can in some small way to make the world a better, kinder place today. And tomorrow. And tomorrow. That in itself is a protest.
	11:13am YETI BOB: "The Mighty Moog, Semi-conducted by Andrew Kazdin and Thomas Z. Shepard". I didn't get the joke back then, but I get it now.
	11:14am Dano59: i'm not sure this is. any better test for a stereo system than, say, Judas Priest. But this is the sound of the modern world
	11:14am YETI BOB: i.discogs.com... cover image
	11:14am Passaic River Blues: @Icecream Hoagie: Without filibuster reform, no bill addressing any of those issues can pass. The Senate Majority leader is going to be putting legislation codifying Roe on the Senate floor but it is doomed because basically any meaningful act by the body requires a 2/3rds majority. The Democratic Party is a flawed coalition but it has never been as progressive as it is today. And without cooperation from Manchin and Sinema on filibuster reform, there is literally nothing Senate Dems can do about abortion or any of the issues you mentioned.
	11:14am Nick K: This is all just to draw our attention away from the real world problems that are going to end us all no matter if your left or right.
	11:16am Pale Son: I love how Janet Kay can never quite get those high notes, but she always goes for 'em anyway.
	11:16am Webhamster Henry: That's a whole octave below Minnie!
	11:16am Dano59: and you can bet your arse McConnell will kill the filibuster whenever it suits him. So given the tyranny of minority rule today, NOT handing the real majority to the GOP in both houses is absolutely paramount.
	11:18am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And they need to expand the court. Period. Drumpf's unqualified hacks need dilution.
	11:18am Jose': Was enjoying the music, then this chick started reading whatever the latest Tik Tok and Twitter blabs are parroting and made it sound like CNN Plus.
	11:19am Dano59: OK I gotta jump. Got Discogs orders and cleaning and yardwork calling me. Thanks for hanging out and feeding the fire, excellent music and talk today.
	11:20am Icecream Hoagie: @passaic river blues: The Dem party leadership wants to keep the filibuster, they had an opportunity to make it go away but it was was killed from the top. They need an excuse to do nothing. They need the Republicans to be the villains. They are afraid if they actually do real reforms they won't have any issues to fundraiser over.
	11:20am Passaic River Blues: @Nick K: wholesale elimination of civil rights is a "real world problem." Also the right doesn't care about climate change or fascist warmongering in Eastern Europe--the only thing they're trying to distract us from are their actions (hence the fierce shrieking about the leak rather than the content of the draft opinion).
	11:23am PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi WFMU Land!!
	11:25am PaulRobeson1922: Nice Music Today Trouble! 91.9fm Sounds good in the box truck
	11:25am prudy: many in the country (whether left or right) are against the gov providing any kind of social services because they assume their taxes will increase...
	11:25am Jose': I support the current thing. BTW what is t today?
	11:28am Woo: Jose, Sonny Bono told us the miniskirt's the current thing, uh huh. But that was a long time ago.
	11:29am still b/p: Woo for the win.
	11:29am Jose': Oh, well whatever is trending I support it. Like most people!
	11:30am Passaic River Blues: @Icecream Hoagie: Support for filibuster reform has grown from a minimal level just a few years ago to the entire Dem caucus save for Manchin and Sinema voting to lift filibuster rules to pass voting rights legislation last January. You and I can both theorize about motivations; meanwhile, the other side of the aisle is barrelling toward full fledged fascism. @Jose: I think you're describing the goldfish-brained right which has a new hate object every single day. "Caravans! Santa Claus is white! I hate CRT (even though I don't know what it means)! Boo, I hate gay M&Ms!"
	11:32am YETI BOB: love this Bobby H.
	11:34am PaulRobeson1922: 2/3 of Americans have never attended university (Valid statistic as of 2015)
	11:34am sphere (from app): catalina matorral bought.
	11:34am YETI BOB: @PRB: That's unfair to goldfish
	11:35am Handy Haversack: Many thanks to listener B R M for coordinating that fundraiser over the NC/WE movie at his theater! Way to go, B R M!
	11:35am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Also check this out: www.haymarketbooks.org...
	11:35am Andrew Waterloo: @prudy... less about taxes and more about being bothered by the idea that a benefit that is perceived as earned, may go to someone who didn't work as hard to get it.
	11:36am Passaic River Blues: Echoing Handy--excellent work by B R M! A really cool idea and event.
	11:36am B R M: Thanks @Handy! Friends, please come to my movie theater and support WFMU! Let's sell it out! we're looking to do many more events in partnership and your support will help us determine how successful these film events can be... Tickets! 👇 theclairidge.org...
	11:37am Jose': Goldfish Oppression. We need a program to stop the Goldfish Oppression. Let's start with $20 billion.
	11:38am B R M: @Trouble Your show is always on my radio on Thursdays, but I rarely get to comment because of my work schedule, but THANK YOU for the great music!
	11:40am Trouble: gracias @B R M!
	11:41am YETI BOB: I thought this Ronnie Foster was Stevie Wonder at first
	11:41am PaulRobeson1922: Paul Robeson has a succinct definition of Fascism- you may be interested in the many articles Paul penned… The central pillar in a Fascist minded world view is Anti-intellectualism. This Central Pillar, the Largest stick around which the smaller sticks- representing racism, emphasis on obedience to authority, stereotypical thinking, conformity, Militarism, hate generally- are bound tightly to.. and jezus i’m blanking on the other elements… i got to go drive this truck now!! Peace & Love always Thanks WFMUuu
	11:42am Passaic River Blues: @YB: Serious Wonder vibes.
	11:43am YETI BOB: Looks like Ronnie Foster played organ on "Songs in the Key of Life". (And Dorothy Ashby is on there too, quite a cast of players on that one!)
	11:44am Andrew Waterloo: Fascism is the freedom to conform or else.
	11:47am Andrew Waterloo: You really see that with the freedom convoys here in Canada.. they say they're about freedom. but they loose their minds at the thought that people do things they don't like.
	11:47am ChukAmok: HH (@10:59): That's a much better way of putting it, thank you. Thanks for everything, Trouble.
	11:47am juan: Trouble, like B.R.M ,I am usually not able to comment but listen to at least part of your show every week. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you. Your show is always both illuminating and fun. Thanks for all the beautiful music ( and art ) that you've introduced to me
	11:48am McGroovey: Oh, I thought she was singing "lady donut".
	11:49am McGroovey: I need the donut I need the donut
	11:50am YETI BOB: 3Moons: The population ratio of CA:WY is 68X. It's absurd. Electoral College Must Go (as well as the Senate - we need a Unicameral Legislature). But how to get there?
	11:51am prof.fuzz: @mcG: that's what I heard too.
	11:51am McGroovey: Now you can't un-hear it. I apologize.
	11:51am McGroovey: I'm hungry, and I'm making lunch now.
	11:52am prof.fuzz: if there's not already a song with that title, there will be soon. that's a promise, not a threat.
	11:52am McGroovey: I second that notion, prof.fuzz.
	11:53am YETI BOB: 39,538,223 / 578,759 = 68.3
	11:54am Handy Haversack: We have done good work here today then! But you did the best, Trouble. Many thanks for a fine show and a fine forum. Needful things. Stay Troubled, everyone. And stay angry.
	11:54am Polyus: Nothing to add except that I dig that snare drum sound even thru little computer speakers.
	11:55am spodiodi: thanks, Trouble!
	11:55am Pale Son: Shades of last week!
	11:56am Jose': Anger is for Tik Tokkers :)
	11:57am matt harrington: unreal track right there - les mccann
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today!
	11:57am still b/p: Mmm, clavvy goodness.
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the lovely tunes and remarks today, Trouble. Stay ever vigilant!
	11:58am Mike Sin: Groovin' heavy to this Les McCann track!
	11:58am still b/p: Excellent progrum. The spot's been HIT. Thank you, Trouble.
	11:59am Jason from Houston: Many thanks, Trouble.

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.

Listener comments!
	9:00am Handy Haversack: Bright Thursday greets, Trouble and all the Troubled. The white cat on the playlist page still makes me catch my breath. RIP, Lulu, our Princess Marshmallow.
	9:00am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:02am Handy Haversack: We got to say hi to a black-throated blue warbler, an American redstart, an ovenbird, a white-crowned sparrow, and a fox sparrow, in addition to all the usual suspects, while sitting outside on Tue. evening.
	9:03am G: Whitebreasted something, hairy woodpecker, breeding season. This is not safe harbor time lol

	9:04am Passaic River Blues: @Handy: those are choice bird friends. Where did you spy those guys? Black-throated blues and fox sparrows are some of my favorites. @Ken HP: hahahaha Funny...and true.
	9:05am Peter from Dover NJ: My cat is snoring as the bird calls are described. I've been to the hawk watch on Wildcat Ridge, but not the one in Montclair...
	9:05am Peter in SEA: Is that a sponge in the Angel's hand on the playlist page?
	9:06am Zipperhead7: Good morning Trouble and Modernists! It puts an interesting spin on the day when a bird says "drink your whiskey" at 9:04 am
	9:06am Listener Gregory: Drink your tea; drink your whiskey—I’m getting mixed messages here.
	9:07am Trouble: good morning to all you robins with a sore throat!
	9:07am Handy Haversack: PRB: In our crappy Brooklyn back "yard"! The fox sparrow hangs out consistently with my Sparrow Army. Peter: Same question here!
	9:07am Trouble: super thanks to all who came out early on saturday morning to enjoy the magic of the meadowlands. Giant thanks to even cutler and his fellow bird guides.
	9:07am The Oscar: Mornin' Thursday birds! I always expect my cat to go nuts for these recordings, but so far she's aloof.
	9:08am G: The peewee! Can the titmouse be far off?
	9:10am manana: This is just great...
	9:10am JeremyB: Good morning!
	9:10am Passaic River Blues: And thanks to Trouble for organizing that glorious outing in the Meadowlands!
	9:10am Slamtonio: What was the one, the mysterious note of the ‘Derry’?
	9:10am Robm: Hello trouble and fellow troublemakers let’s make some good trouble
	9:10am Passaic River Blues: Veery, a cute thrush.
	9:10am Dave in VT: Good morning! I just came in from birding, and now here are more birds! Thanks, Trouble!
	9:10am BnowB: Spotted a lovely cardinal this morning... The birds the narrator... I can skip my anxiety meds.
	9:11am JeremyB: Thank you so much for the Birding event last weekend! My wife and I had a wonderful time and met some awesome people.
	9:11am JeremyB: This guy was sampled in a Meat Beat Manifesto song I think.
	9:11am Slamtonio: Thx!!
	9:12am BnowB: I need this record in my life. Oh wait.. archives!
	9:12am greg: My cat is going nuts
	9:13am TDK60: Good morning, DJ Trouble. I had to miss the meadow walk. Next time?
	9:13am Strandlund: My cats love Hummingbirds...they're the only bird that comes with it's own toothpick.
	9:14am BnowB: I can't believe I missed a wfmu birding adventure and one of my best tennis friends was there! oy vey lol
	9:14am oshiwoshi: Gooogled the title of the show and found it was a book - Buy used from US$495
	9:14am βrian: A mourning dove was hanging out on the ledge of my kitchen window. The cooing was loud enough to startle me.
	9:15am chiapat: Fun stroll & bird watch at the meadowlands last Saturday! Thanks for setting it up Trouble and for the cookie! Evan & the other guides were fantastic!
	9:15am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm on the lookout for the less common yellow-headed blackbird.
	9:15am Handy Haversack: I was taking the ferry back to Greenpoint from a softball game on the LES in Manhattan once a few years back, waiting to transfer in Long Island City, and the wind blew a little white-eyed vireo right into the plexiglass wall! I scopped it up and held it in my hand to keep it warm until the ferry came, and it was still stunned then, so it rode the ferry to Brooklyn with me! I got to a bush on the Greenpoint pier and could feel it stirring, so I opened my hand, and it must have recovered. Flew to bush, fence, and back to bush. A much happier story than when we found the concussed owlet.
	9:15am Scott in Maryland: These lovely bird songs remind me of the late, great Robert J. Lurtsema and his opening sound montage for "Morning Pro Musica", the radio program he hosted on public radio on WBGH in Boston for nearly 30 years.
	9:15am BnowB: wow 495$$$!
	9:16am βrian: That wood thrush really gets me.
	9:16am YETI BOB: Good morning Trouble and everyone! The cats are absolutely loving this.
	9:17am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Scott in Maryland: I read something about the start of that show recently. Sometimes the birds would go on much longer than other times. Turns out it was because Robert J. was late to the studio! Ha.
	9:17am captain beef fart: Funny we don’t often see Baltimore orioles in Baltimore.
	9:17am kevlicki: Good morning trouble and all! I named my farm after the wood thrush because of how beautiful their song is and they were always in the woods when I was foraging for morel mushrooms every spring. Haven’t heard them in the woods yet but they should be back right about now
	9:18am βrian: Yes, fond memories of the Pro Musica birds here, as well.
	9:19am Uleeshuh TN: I am a lot more relaxed now ☺️
	9:19am YETI BOB: Scott: I lived in Boston (Cambridge) for a decade, used to listen to Robert J. every day. Somehow I never think about that period in my life. Thanks for reminding me! He was a classic radio guy, with a perfect voice and presenatation, like Chicago's Dick Buckley.
	9:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm in my Tuesday/Thursday standup. Lack of music is super-annoying.
	9:20am Uleeshuh TN: kevlicki, nice!
	9:20am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: Did you listen to Eric in the Evening too?
	9:20am Red Rover: Telebossa! this was Trouble/modern world regular 10 years ago or so, I think.
	9:20am G: eu sonhei que tu estavas tao linda = I dreamed that you were so beautiful
	9:21am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: bonjour trouble and hello listeners…
	9:23am Irene: Glad I’m able to listen to these lovely sounds this morning, Trouble!
	9:23am Listener Gregory: Shades of Tuva!
	9:23am rx scabin: Throat singing!
	9:25am captain beef fart: I’ve only found a few morels so far this season. Friends have found pounds.
	9:31am YETI BOB: Woods: No, I never caught that show. I'm a morning radio listener, wake up and turn the radio on, usually by evening I'm doing other things!
	9:31am chresti: Morning Trouble and trouble seekers!
	9:33am YETI BOB: What's going on in the painting? Angel has a sword in one hand and sponge in the other ... allegory?
	9:34am YETI BOB: [Would have LOVED to be there on the bird-watch]
	9:36am Ken From Hyde Park: My eyeball-based estimate was that there were maybe 70 to 75 bird enthusiasts at the park last Saturday. Thanks for the team effort to put it together.
	9:38am Johnny Staten Island: I unfortunately missed it. Trouble are you planning for another one?
	9:39am chresti: Is it dirty jazz or sirty jazz?
	9:39am Trouble: paula rego is a firece portugese/british painter who tackled the portugese outlawing of abortion in many of her paintings. www.bbc.com...
	9:39am Handy Haversack: Of possible interest to folx here on: "Ukraine, Russia, NATO, & Anti-Imperialism Today: Join Salvage and Haymarket Books for a discussion of the war in Ukraine and how the international left should respond." Tomorrow at 3 PM ET: www.eventbrite.com...
	9:40am Nikita: Sexy Jazz 🔥
	9:40am YETI BOB: "Her magnificent Angel (1998), which will be in the show and which she sees as one of her most important paintings, has been said to stand for vengeance and redemption, but if you look closely at her expression, it holds you because it is unfathomable." (Guardian)
	9:41am jt: Yea~ Scott We are all fans of Robert J. Lurtsema. Bird-song is a perfect way to start the day, birds have known this for millions of years ! My Mom remembers, as R.J-L. had his radio show out of Gloucester, MA. would simply leave the station for lunch and broadcast 'dead-air' until he returned from his mid-day meal. My Mom also showed me a copy of his book of collected writing, mostly poetry.
	9:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: That was a good jazz show. I saw Eric Jackson give a talk and he had this great anecdote about how the GBH phones went nuts the first time he played Pharoah Sander's "Astral Traveling" from Thembi. People were like "What the hell is that?!!"
	9:42am chresti: Paula Rego is still alive!
	9:47am YETI BOB: (from WP) In addition to his calm manner, Lurtsema displayed a subtle sense of humor. On April Fools' Day 1982, he stood in for the singing birds with his own deadpan chirping, and on April Fools' Day 1992, the birds were replaced by howling wolves. Aware of his reputation for long pauses, on another April Fools' Day Lurtsema presented selections of his "best pauses." On the morning after the presidential election of 1980, Lurtsema joked that "there is no news worth reporting this morning" and proceeded with the program
	9:47am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modernaires! This Platanos has some serious Forbidden Planet vibes!
	9:50am Zipperhead7: I'd alway wanted to go traipsing around the Meadowlands, so last Saturday was the perfect excuse to do so. I had to laugh when someone said they'd never seen so many WFMU bumperstickers apart from a Yo La Tengo concert
	9:51am Webhamster Henry: I also used to listen to Robert J Lurtsema.. I hope you folks got a chance to listen to Reveil over the weekend. That's a 24 hour streamcast following dawn from London westward by swapping out audio feeds every 15 minutes or so. Many were from nature preserves. Catch it again next year!
	10:01am Webhamster Henry: Reveil:: soundtent.org...
	10:02am Handy Haversack: Sorry, I did the math wrong. That event I posted is at noon Eastern tomorrow. For some reason I thought it was in Pacific time.
	10:04am Dano59: The May morning bird walk kind of hit home when he said cardinals abound in the Northeast. I used to have them all the time in my backyard, haven't seen any in my 7 years back here. Used to have a woodpecker too, but his favorite tree fell. His AND the bugs' fault. Henry: ... was Reveil archived at all?
	10:07am Webhamster Henry: @Dano no, but you can run it yourself (!), kind of, with this sound map: locusonus.org...
	10:08am Passaic River Blues: Oh man, this is lovely.
	10:09am Passaic River Blues: Should have known it was Asha.
	10:09am Handy Haversack: I feel like "just a little housekeeping" comes from the world of conferences. "Lunch has been moved and will be in the Mahogany Room. The panel on supply-chain issues has been delayed." Like that.
	10:12am Dano59: "housekeeping" corporate meeting-speak too, like it's business apart from the usual. Me, I like the NRBQ song. ooh Sandy Posey...
	10:13am BVP: Cheery back beat at least.
	10:16am Listening Out There: Hi Trouble and bird people…
	10:16am Baja Joe: Hello Trouble, my favorite kind.
	10:17am Webhamster Henry: This tune is so Southern Gothic.
	10:17am The Oscar: I recently learned that my grandfather grew up in Choctaw Ridge!
	10:18am Handy Haversack: Last time I heard this song was also on this show, I am pretty sure. I remember it -- driving back from dropping off a water-quality sample last summer.
	10:18am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Just got here...great song to start my day with! A CLASSIC.
	10:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Pacific time is for Bandcamp Friday, Handy. Maybe that's what you were thinking. www.isitbandcampfriday.com
	10:18am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyy there... Good morning.
	10:18am Zipperhead7: Oh my. Bobbie Gentry. Be still, my heart
	10:18am jt: Yeti Bob~ Great: "there is no news worth reporting this morning"
	10:18am Harry Corvair: This mix .. hits hard, hard. Thank you, Trouble.
	10:19am eric from lake hiawatha: Thanks for these last stellar ladies tellin’ stories!
	10:19am Robm: Have any listeners to therese show last night heard it? she was breathing fire
	10:20am xtrakrispy: @robm Yes, she was!
	10:20am Passaic River Blues: @Robm: I have not, but will bookmark for post-Trouble time. Thank you for the tip.
	10:20am Dano59: she was indeed, @Robm
	10:21am Handy Haversack: Maybe so, Ken! Yeah, Therese was incandescent!
	10:21am Robm: @Xtracrispy i think she came very close to throwing f bombs last night on the air
	10:21am still b/p: Were there record and radio guys at the time of Ode to Billie Joe saying, "That? That's not a pop hit. It's all wrong for a pop hit! Never gonna be a pop hit!"
	10:22am Robm: @PRB listen to her talking and your welcome
	10:22am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: All--what time is Theresa's show so that I can hit the archives? I also need to listen to Ken n Andy getting stoned...
	10:23am Passaic River Blues: @3Moons: I believe this is the playlist link: wfmu.org...
	10:23am Robm: 3M 9 eastern on Wednesday
	10:23am TDK60: Robm, yes, I was at that Therese show. She was great. Great tunes. \| Oh, also, I like housecleaning, sweeping, mopping.
	10:23am Handy Haversack: She played this last night! Preach it, Loretta!
	10:23am Dano59: I think coming on the heels of the teen tragedy song era, Billie Joe had commercial potential. That it was just her voice and guitar plus orchestration was the oddity of it.
	10:23am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Passaic, thank you--yeah, still shaking out the cobwebs, shoulda checked there first....gah...need coffee....
	10:23am Harry Corvair: Yeah, Therese lit it up last night. Incandescent.
	10:23am ?: good morning Trouble and fellow makers....we're going to have to make some trouble soon...not feeling so cheery at the moment...sorry to get so "political" so early, but along with the continuing efforts of a small minority of mostly men who want to rid the US of a somewhat democratic system of government, the infant bearing half of us are now being sent back to the dark ages...
	10:24am oshiwoshi: Loretta Lynn - BOOM!
	10:24am Robm: @Trouble Becky played this song last night
	10:24am Yes: :)
	10:24am Passaic River Blues: @Threemoons: absolutely no problem!
	10:24am Dano59: the comment on rural doctors thanking Loretta was neat.
	10:24am ? prudy: they'll want to outlaw that too...
	10:25am KWilde: https://cocaineandrhinestones.com/bobbie-gentry-exit-stage-left
	10:25am Dano59: not wrong, @prudy ... we're headed for Gilead in a damn hurry
	10:25am Handy Haversack: Right, Robm, it was Becky. The DJs was bringing it last night!
	10:26am Steve in bearsville: Hey we love this song too!
	10:26am Dano59: trouble's really rolling out some classics! in JoeMcG fashion
	10:26am Webhamster Henry: Another tune to play is Brecht/Eisler's Abortion is Illegal: nyfos.org...
	10:26am ? prudy: love the tunes, Trouble...
	10:26am eric from lake hiawatha: You are on a roll! You go girl!
	10:26am Ken From Hyde Park: "Vote the bums out" needs to start trending. #votethebumsout
	10:27am Robm: &Handy they always do too bad sheliab is off this week, would love to hear her take on this
	10:27am Zipperhead7: YES! Stellar set, Trouble!
	10:30am Andres: Good morning! Really great selection of songs, Trouble!
	10:30am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I'm hoping that this is the moment that provides momentum for people to get out there for the midterms. It's a slight hope. My fear is that even if that does happen, a lot of states controlled by republicans are just going to decide they don't like the results and throw them out.
	10:30am Therese: I love you, Trouble.
	10:32am Trouble: i LOVE you Therese!
	10:34am prudy: Woods: I'd like to feel that too...but in so many ways a minority of mostly men control many aspects of what happens in this country, and the world in general..
	10:34am Dano59: Put me down for the next birdwatch outing. I once drove all the way down to a park in NJ for an Idiot's Delight BBQ gathering - it had been plannedl, and went on, the Sunday after 9/11. There was a spot in the park you could see lower Manhattan from.
	10:35am Dano59: it's gonna/gotta be more than just showing up to vote, @Woods ... showing up in large and loud. numbers before November, and doing outreach to get out the vote and motivate people, will make a difference.
	10:38am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Wish I could do the bird thing, but me being anywhere at 8:30 AM, unless I was already there the night before, are grim. Also need to pull together stuff for Mother's Day...bro and new arrival still out there with her and we're having what will undoubtedly be our last Mother's Day together with her alas.
	10:40am Dano59: A lot of these evolutionary throwbacks could be voted out, for example: grassrootsdempolitics.com...
	10:41am prudy: thanks for info Dano59
	10:42am Pale Son: Waiting for Michael McDonald.
	10:42am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Another thing that ALL women need to do is start getting their shit together RE pre-emptive Plan B purchases. There's also a bunch of networks for abortion pills, and even a biohacking DIY group for making your OWN. Like ivermectin, one of the more common abortion pills is available in bulk as a horse ulcer treatment.
	10:42am Webhamster Henry: What a Brazilian Fool Believes.
	10:43am oshiwoshi: Webhamster Henry:YES!
	10:43am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: www.vice.com...
	10:44am Pale Son: You can't outlaw abortion, only safe abortion.
	10:44am Zipperhead7: I wonder how folks in their 70s and 80s who were at the forefront of the Civil Rights and feminist movements must feel at seeing all their hard-won gains erode.
	10:44am Dano59: haha Henry. ...primarying Chuck Schumer isn't a bad idea either. We want ACTION! like the Best Show often preached
	10:45am Pale Son: Here he comes!
	10:45am prudy: three moons...that too, but actually MEN who want to fuck around freely need to start taking some fucking responsibility...
	10:45am Quinn: Thank you, this was driving me nuts XD
	10:45am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I spent all of my student years --from Regan onward -- doing pro-choice clinic defense work. This pisses me off beyond belief.
	10:45am Jason from Houston: Same, Quinn. LOL
	10:46am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Prudy I think that history has shown that alas, that's not a reliable long term plan.
	10:46am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I saw a guy talking yesterday about the reason the r's are only talking about the leak. And that was that the party actually knows the numbers for repealing Rowe are actually pretty low and this action (if it happens) is not good for them politically. I don't know anymore. Dems need to hammer home this point. They probably won't.
	10:46am Dano59: I marched at the RNC in '04, worked to get out the vote in PA in '20, and I'm planning on both conventions in '24.
	10:46am prudy: three moons...yep...dealing with Operation Rescue...the precursors to the current idiots..
	10:47am Webhamster Henry: I live in N Y 19 so we have a tough time filling Delgado's seat. I'd rather like Pat Ryan to keep being county exec. I'd like Zephyr Teachout to run again, but I think she's past that stage and people didn't get her past the primary stage last time she ran.
	10:47am Dano59: mandatory reversible vasectomies! limiting access to Viagra! Fair is fair.
	10:48am -bot sdr-: 345 345 345 567 264 789 6 7 129749 7496 7 6 1296. 6 7 -ende-
	10:48am Robm: @Prudy yeah guys who act like players and chase anything they can find
	10:48am Handy Haversack: I have a certificate of merit from the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. Why reverse a perfectly good vasectomy? Hand 'em out on street corners!
	10:49am Zipperhead7: When I lived in Tulsa, ACORN helped set up a free clinic on the north side of town. Then-mayor, now-senator James Inhofe fussed and fumed at a city council meeting that it was a communist plot. One of the members turned to me and asked "What do the Russians want with Moten Health Clinic?"
	10:49am Dano59: a lot of the male attitude is nurture, not nature -- and the privileged class is the worst. This from seeing Ivy League students up close.
	10:49am still b/p: Lanca Perfume apparently was a year or two after Fool, just for for near-twin trivia's sake. There will be protests and drives, but I don't know if we can hope for mobilization truly large enough to make politicians sweat and have their heads spun.
	10:50am Stanley: No kids here, either. Doing my bit for the environment.
	10:50am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: The Dems need to start bringing a Howitzer and not a fucking pickled herring to the gunfight. Dig every scandal to the bottom. Hammer real-life examples of poverty and such into the ground. Humiliate the Rethuglican base for their stupidity; never stop telling them how their choices made their states uninhabitable and how their leadership failed them. Be MEAN. Fuck polite.
	10:50am prudy: me too...glad I'm past child bearing age...
	10:51am Dano59: They'll sweat if people start breaking things and we run hearty opposition and shame-the-sh**-out-of-them tactics.
	10:52am Dano59: AND how they. have historically effed up the economy and quality of. life conditions for ordinary. working people, Threemoons!
	10:52am S: Can I just say - this show has been straight FIRE ty trouble
	10:52am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And on a personal note, I have wanted my tubes done since I was 21. I kept being refused....until I was 42, and then, only because my Ob-Gyn wanted to push Essures (which I was OK with; wanted to avoid abdominal incisions as I want to get back to lifting weights again eventually). Still, the fact that I had to wait 20+ years to make a decision about MY OWN FUCKING BODY that led to "no babies" when I could have gotten pregnant at any time and carried it to term without anyone else's input speaks volumes about just how fucked we are.
	10:52am ChukAmok: @dano I was also marching on the RNC in '04. The Critical Mass ride on the first Friday was epic. The Women's Rights march across the Brooklyn Bridge was also very well attended.
	10:55am prudy: agreed 3 moons..
	10:55am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: OTOH Essures were being over-pushed because you allegedly didn't need to skip a day of work and they were cheap and easy to put in. I later learned that a ton of them were being put into impoverished working women in the Bronx. I myself had complications--MONTHS of heavy bleeding to the point of anemia; needed a few X-rays to make sure I hadn't thrown one of them, etc.
	10:55am Dano59: @zipperhead: I remember working with an ACORN chapter in post-Katrina New Orleans around the time RW media was having a cow about them. For having the audacity to help poor people have a sliver of a chance at survival. The SEIU - the janitors' union! - got the same treatment. This freaking country is entirely backwards from its own ideals.
	10:56am ChukAmok: @Threemoons The dems are too ideologically similar to the gqp's, and they still get paid so why would they bother? Cut off the big money going to them and maybe they will start to show some integrity for once.
	10:57am Dano59: I can send on some Cornell Lab of Ornithology records from the Friends of the Ithaca Library book sale. PM me.
	10:57am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Ultimately Bayer pulled them. I remember speaking to one of the doctors who backed their development personally (male) and really enthused about them. He even said "when you get older and get a hysterectomy we'd like to be in touch to see how the implants held up." UGH. Like he was ASSUMING that this was a normal part of women's healthcare. It's all gross and horrible. I'm sad that another contraceptive device is off market, but nothing is stepping in to replace it. www.fda.gov...
	10:58am Pale Son: NO wise man has the power...
	10:58am Zipperhead7: Oh my god!!! I remember hearing this song pouring out of jukeboxes in Italy many years ago and haven't heard it since . . . been going nuts for years trying to find it again!
	10:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I hope the quiz is on mimeograph paper.
	10:59am Handy Haversack: It would be nice to think that, ChukAmok, but there's zero evidence that it's the case. Both aspects of the political class care only about power and the money that keeps them in it. We're asking a corrupt private company to save us from another corrupt private company instead of wondering how we can prevent this tony class of people from having the power to bestow and retake rights at the whim of their own drives for power.
	10:59am TDK60: The Demz need to stop running anti-choice candidates like Cuellar in Texas. The Repugnants are horrid. But the decrepit Demz are weak.
	10:59am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And let's not forget that even tubal ligation isn't 100% effective: www.chicagotribune.com...
	11:00am prudy: handy...nicely said...
	11:00am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @TDK60 THAT is what I hate about the Dems. Never up for a real fight. Gore should have never accepted Bush vs. Gore. Think what a different place it would be now if Gore had rightfully been President.
	11:00am unpopularfred: ...seduced and left by the side of the road, just like Susan Collins
	11:01am Dano59: the Dems' biggest mistake was going after elites and ignoring labor and middle America. DNC leadership is just the other. side. of the coin of the more blatant f***ery in the GOP. Different ideas, same goals and m.o.
	11:01am Dano59: OK I'm listening
	11:02am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And the Electoral College, a shameful relic of the slaveholder era, has got to go. There is no fucking reason why some cousin-fucking drooler in Wyoming should get 4x the voting power of someone in CA or similar.
	11:02am Listening Out There: Somebody say "Amen!"
	11:02am Pale Son: Amen!
	11:02am oshiwoshi: Amen
	11:02am HooHa: The goal is to grow more conservative consumer pod people
	11:02am Jason from Houston: AMEN
	11:03am prudy: A fucking men
	11:03am spodiodi: Amen spodiodi
	11:03am Passaic River Blues: GOP: Life begins at conception and ends at birth.
	11:03am Patster: Amen!!
	11:03am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HooHa YEP. This country is a human farm to create lowest-common denominator workers and consumers.
	11:03am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: PREACH TROUBLE.
	11:04am Yes: Thank you trouble
	11:04am Dano59: no, they're trying to. attract evangelical voters. Concern for anyone born or unborn is not on their minds.
	11:04am still b/p: "how we can prevent this tony class of people from having the power to bestow and retake rights at the whim of their own drives for power." Maybe 5000 year old quandary. At least 2000+ years old in ways dispiritingly familiar to us.
	11:04am Roberto: Preach Trouble and Preach, Trouble!
	11:04am Doctor B.: Tell it all, sister. The Supremist Court's decision on abortion is an abomination!
	11:04am Dano59: beautiful, Trouble.
	11:05am Panther: It’s rants like that that make me want to cancel my monthly pledge
	11:05am Roberto: The greater abomination is the most unqualified piece of scum on earth was allowed to appoint not one, not two, but three justices for life.
	11:05am Andres: And keep speaking out!
	11:06am Dano59: It's rants like that that make me proud of what's left of our first Amendment protections
	11:06am unpopularfred: @ Panther - don't let the door hit you...
	11:06am prudy: part of the problem is the way Roe is written...since it was made law it has allowed "states rights" to mess with it and hence has limited access by low income women and women of color...
	11:06am Handy Haversack: Well, still/bp, we have less than a hundred years to figure it out, or it won't matter anyway.
	11:06am TDK60: Next on the fashie Amerikaner patriarchal list: gay marriage.
	11:07am Dano59: there are plenty. of other voices in the wilderness to agree with. While the world burns.
	11:07am Handy Haversack: TDK60, you might be interested in this. I think I posted before you came on board. Tomorrow at noon: www.eventbrite.com...
	11:07am Webhamster Henry: The EC and the Senate are about States making decisions, not people. Originally, the Senate was appointed by state legislatures, probably from their own ranks, so that they at least had some respect and experience in legislation and the issues of their states. Once Senators became popularly elected, that changed its essential nature. Not that it was a good nature to begin with, but the bicameral system dates from when states were conceptually more like individual countries, needing interstate commerce regulation. The Federal government was weaker. But more disturbing here is the neglect of deference to universal human rights as a legislative standard.
	11:08am Icecream Hoagie: The Dems deliberately stall on big issues like this and 15 dollar min wage, single payer health care, ect so they can raise more cash. Don't believe me? Just read the party leaderships own words. Dems won't save us, they are as corrupt as the other side. Time to stop thinking voting will cure anything and start burning it all down
	11:09am YETI BOB: OMG my Dad had this "everything you ever wanted to hear on the moog" LP (as a lot of Dads probably did!) Time-traveling to the 1970s now. Thanks Trouble!
	11:10am TDK60: Gracias, Handy. Not sure I can make it. (Maybe you could summarize later?)
	11:10am Dano59: Human rights NOW: cdn.shopify.com...
	11:11am YETI BOB: Icecream Hoagie: That's a false equivalence, the Dems are not as corrupt as the MAGAs. But they are damn disappointing.
	11:12am Webhamster Henry: I had España on a Stereo Demonstration record! I guess it was a go-to Hi-Fi show off piece.
	11:12am joe mulligan: My brother used to play all sorts of moog music in the 70s when I was a kid. I thought it was normal. here we are now, thanks for playing this chabrier:espana track Trouble!
	11:13am Dano59: also, let's all do what we can in some small way to make the world a better, kinder place today. And tomorrow. And tomorrow. That in itself is a protest.
	11:13am YETI BOB: "The Mighty Moog, Semi-conducted by Andrew Kazdin and Thomas Z. Shepard". I didn't get the joke back then, but I get it now.
	11:14am Dano59: i'm not sure this is. any better test for a stereo system than, say, Judas Priest. But this is the sound of the modern world
	11:14am YETI BOB: i.discogs.com... cover image
	11:14am Passaic River Blues: @Icecream Hoagie: Without filibuster reform, no bill addressing any of those issues can pass. The Senate Majority leader is going to be putting legislation codifying Roe on the Senate floor but it is doomed because basically any meaningful act by the body requires a 2/3rds majority. The Democratic Party is a flawed coalition but it has never been as progressive as it is today. And without cooperation from Manchin and Sinema on filibuster reform, there is literally nothing Senate Dems can do about abortion or any of the issues you mentioned.
	11:14am Nick K: This is all just to draw our attention away from the real world problems that are going to end us all no matter if your left or right.
	11:16am Pale Son: I love how Janet Kay can never quite get those high notes, but she always goes for 'em anyway.
	11:16am Webhamster Henry: That's a whole octave below Minnie!
	11:16am Dano59: and you can bet your arse McConnell will kill the filibuster whenever it suits him. So given the tyranny of minority rule today, NOT handing the real majority to the GOP in both houses is absolutely paramount.
	11:18am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And they need to expand the court. Period. Drumpf's unqualified hacks need dilution.
	11:18am Jose': Was enjoying the music, then this chick started reading whatever the latest Tik Tok and Twitter blabs are parroting and made it sound like CNN Plus.
	11:19am Dano59: OK I gotta jump. Got Discogs orders and cleaning and yardwork calling me. Thanks for hanging out and feeding the fire, excellent music and talk today.
	11:20am Icecream Hoagie: @passaic river blues: The Dem party leadership wants to keep the filibuster, they had an opportunity to make it go away but it was was killed from the top. They need an excuse to do nothing. They need the Republicans to be the villains. They are afraid if they actually do real reforms they won't have any issues to fundraiser over.
	11:20am Passaic River Blues: @Nick K: wholesale elimination of civil rights is a "real world problem." Also the right doesn't care about climate change or fascist warmongering in Eastern Europe--the only thing they're trying to distract us from are their actions (hence the fierce shrieking about the leak rather than the content of the draft opinion).
	11:23am PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi WFMU Land!!
	11:25am PaulRobeson1922: Nice Music Today Trouble! 91.9fm Sounds good in the box truck
	11:25am prudy: many in the country (whether left or right) are against the gov providing any kind of social services because they assume their taxes will increase...
	11:25am Jose': I support the current thing. BTW what is t today?
	11:28am Woo: Jose, Sonny Bono told us the miniskirt's the current thing, uh huh. But that was a long time ago.
	11:29am still b/p: Woo for the win.
	11:29am Jose': Oh, well whatever is trending I support it. Like most people!
	11:30am Passaic River Blues: @Icecream Hoagie: Support for filibuster reform has grown from a minimal level just a few years ago to the entire Dem caucus save for Manchin and Sinema voting to lift filibuster rules to pass voting rights legislation last January. You and I can both theorize about motivations; meanwhile, the other side of the aisle is barrelling toward full fledged fascism. @Jose: I think you're describing the goldfish-brained right which has a new hate object every single day. "Caravans! Santa Claus is white! I hate CRT (even though I don't know what it means)! Boo, I hate gay M&Ms!"
	11:32am YETI BOB: love this Bobby H.
	11:34am PaulRobeson1922: 2/3 of Americans have never attended university (Valid statistic as of 2015)
	11:34am sphere (from app): catalina matorral bought.
	11:34am YETI BOB: @PRB: That's unfair to goldfish
	11:35am Handy Haversack: Many thanks to listener B R M for coordinating that fundraiser over the NC/WE movie at his theater! Way to go, B R M!
	11:35am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Also check this out: www.haymarketbooks.org...
	11:35am Andrew Waterloo: @prudy... less about taxes and more about being bothered by the idea that a benefit that is perceived as earned, may go to someone who didn't work as hard to get it.
	11:36am Passaic River Blues: Echoing Handy--excellent work by B R M! A really cool idea and event.
	11:36am B R M: Thanks @Handy! Friends, please come to my movie theater and support WFMU! Let's sell it out! we're looking to do many more events in partnership and your support will help us determine how successful these film events can be... Tickets! 👇 theclairidge.org...
	11:37am Jose': Goldfish Oppression. We need a program to stop the Goldfish Oppression. Let's start with $20 billion.
	11:38am B R M: @Trouble Your show is always on my radio on Thursdays, but I rarely get to comment because of my work schedule, but THANK YOU for the great music!
	11:40am Trouble: gracias @B R M!

	11:41am PaulRobeson1922: Paul Robeson has a succinct definition of Fascism- you may be interested in the many articles Paul penned… The central pillar in a Fascist minded world view is Anti-intellectualism. This Central Pillar, the Largest stick around which the smaller sticks- representing racism, emphasis on obedience to authority, stereotypical thinking, conformity, Militarism, hate generally- are bound tightly to.. and jezus i’m blanking on the other elements… i got to go drive this truck now!! Peace & Love always Thanks WFMUuu
