	9:02am listener james from westwood: ↳ rebuketodali @9:02 Uggggh, sorry for the shite gov, @rebuketodali. May his sun set soon.
	9:05am Fredericks: ↳ rebuketodali @9:02 Mine, too.
	9:05am Zipperhead7: Good morning, Troubled Modernists! Terry Eagleton said that blaming Marx for communist totalitarianism is like blaming Jesus for the Inquistion
	9:06am rebuketodali: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:02 One can hope, but he's extremely popular here.
	9:07am still b/p: Noooobody expects the Central Committee! ...oh, wait.
	9:07am βrian: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:02 I'm glad to say we extirpated Walker here in Wisconsin.
	9:08am PaulRobeson1923: Clear Light
	9:09am Trouble: good morning all! here's a little info on the painter of the day: www.artnet.com...
	9:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and all. ¡Viva la revolución!
	9:11am riley: Good morning!, a mystical, moody slate blue-gray day here in Asheville.
	9:11am listener james from westwood: ↳ βrian @9:07 Good on ya! What a grasping wannabe-president wretch he was.
	9:11am oshiwoshi: ↳ Song: "compared to what" by "roberta flack" Mutt - not mud - and i reserve the right to kiss doggo
	9:13am Juli: I don't suffer from wrath j self defense and fear lol
	9:14am Corey: Love this Roberta Flack! What a song!
	9:14am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:05 Maybe KM was more of a prophet than an agent of change. You can re-read the Communist Manifesto over and over and it still rings true.
	9:15am Crownless Gander: ↳ Trouble @9:09 Nice, thanks! Definitely see the Hopper comparison.
	9:17am Handy Haversack: Slinging pure star fire this morning, Trouble!
	9:18am Juli: <3
	9:18am Crownless Gander: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:14 His analysis and linguistic flair are pretty undeniable. Plus, he had zero patience for the other young Hegelians, which I always find pretty amusing/apt.
	9:19am Zipperhead7: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:14 Absolutely! "All that is solid melts into air" defines the joy and horror of modernity
	9:19am Roberto: ↳ Song: "love me or leave me" by "nina simone" Nina gettin' Bachhy wit it.
	9:20am Trouble: 'i intend to be independently blue'- gorgeous!
	9:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ rebuketodali @9:06 Speaking of, hope everyone saw this open letter from journalists calling out the NYT for their disgustingly collaborationist antitrans editorial stance: nytletter.com With a link to popula.com...
	9:21am Trouble: nina simone's birthday is feb 21, roberta flack, feb 10, francoise hardy jan 17: menu for today
	9:22am Slaboch: love the painting today! sounding great as always!
	9:22am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @9:21 Well, that will do nicely. I think one of the great joys of K8's life is that she actually got to see Nina Simone perform.
	9:23am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:19 We were promised flying cars and robot maids, but got Facebook and Twitter.
	9:23am wind: ♥️ your taste in music is delicious Trouble ♥️ I Wish I could listen live more often.
	9:25am TDK60: I just saw that today was the date in 1916 that Emma Goldman was arrested in NYC for lecturing on birth control. (I'm so glad we've evolved beyond such...)
	9:25am Trouble: tell us more about that @handy. i never saw nina play live. merci@ wind!
	9:25am Trouble: hey michael!
	9:27am Robm: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:22 So jealous of K8 handy, wished i could have seen her live Hello troublemakers
	9:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @9:25 Well, K8 would tell it better, but as I understand, it was outside on a pier in Seattle, with the sound behind as a backdrop. Nina on a piano. A little obligatory rain. And K8 was thoroughly transported. She must have been in her twenties? I think we established once that another listener was at the same show.
	9:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:25 Right? With our enlightened leaders, such barbarism could never happen today!
	9:29am still b/p: Hearing Nina reminds me of Summer of Soul, and reminds me of how I'm looking forward to the current Wattstax doc. She's not in it -- not being a Stax artist -- but I expect the two films to have some shared kinds of big BIG music-and-energy enjoyments.
	9:29am ACIDCAJUAL88: Great show! I’ve got you on my speed dial in the archives. And chilling on the parlor HIFI w our cats on this self imposed furlo Day off. I find your bird sounds therapeutic and delightful.
	9:30am The Oscar: Mornin'! I always love tuning in for Trouble's Nina Simone birthday show; a few years back I was in NYC and listened over the airwaves in my little hotel room, and it was lovely.
	9:31am bobobob fabtriplasticland: good music ...did u see her in The Summer of love ..questlove movie???
	9:32am Crownless Gander: Never heard this version. Really nice!
	9:32am justoffthebeach: saw saint omer last night, so this song is timely for me
	9:32am bobobob: summer of Soul ...sorry
	9:34am Yetz: so good
	9:35am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @9:34 May as well clicky-star the whole episode now.
	9:36am Tara: that transition from the wolff hemings ambient piece into compared to what was so magical im still getting over it
	9:37am Bdogg & Felix: Hi Trouble ! Art teachers! Check us out at www.dotandlineartstudio.com. We love your show!
	9:37am alan the painter: good mooring, birds are chirping oUt my window and they murmer in a big chirp Nichole Mitchel Chicago!
	9:39am Yetz: ↳ alan the painter @9:37 "Mitchell" with 2 L's (unlike the WFMU DJ)
	9:39am bobobob plasticland: I was sitting with Roberta flack at a table in Milwaukee watching Freddie Hubbard ..didn't know until she stood up ... beautiful lady..is she still alive??
	9:40am Juli: When I studied in Paris my Girlfriend could not understand my love of French singers from the 1960s:::She's like um listen to The Strokes what's wrong w you lol
	9:41am Juli: She was Parisian in this loft apartment All my friends were rich and let me tag along and paid for me w their parents money I suppose lol What a life
	9:41am ?: Hi Trouble, Roberta Flack is from Black Mountain, NC, and Nina Simone is from Tryon NC. These are both western North Carolina towns not far from Asheville NC. I think it's interesting because they are two of the most prominent musicians from the area.
	9:42am still b/p: To clarify my earlier reference -- the Wattstax doc is a 50th anniversary re-release. Concert '72, film '73.
	9:42am Phillippe: howdy
	9:42am Yetz: ↳ bobobob plasticland @9:39 Wikipedia says she's 86 - also that she has used the alias "Rubina Flake" which is pretty funny!
	9:42am mb: Aloha DJ Trouble + crew
	9:42am alan the painter: Trouble wit your humor keeps us Bo,uye n' gurl_lant, cheshire cat smile 4un s phillie...
	9:43am Tres Vt Knit Girl: Drama at Work, this total helps, Thanks Trouble!
	9:43am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "tip tap t'endends mes pas" by "francoise hardy" For Christmas my wife got me an amazing Japanese poster of Godard's Masculin Feminin. The poster prominently features Francoise Hardy, even though she's only in it for 30 seconds and doesn't say anything!
	9:43am terminalhipness: "musical sage" - ahh, that helps to explain why I especially appreciate Modern World openings...
	9:44am TDK60: Françoise Hardy was played on the Wake show this morn.
	9:44am ?: so not only do they share a birthday month, but they grew up 30 miles apart!
	9:44am Edgar from Maine: Trouble, thanks for the reminder that my record collection is woefully void of Francoise Hardy.
	9:45am Juli: I miss Paris but I miss NYC more
	9:49am Juli: Been watching some love letters to NYC in films lately Frances Ha...Metropolitan um What else Thumbsucker
	9:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Juli @9:49 Ghostbusters?
	9:52am nnaavvaall: Hi everybody. Hi Trouble! So glad to hear you this morning. Makes me sane! Thanks.
	9:52am abbazabba: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:50 aaaaand the flowers are still standing!

	9:53am alanSixº: G Mornin’ Trouble and everyone - really enjoying the show from my yard on this apocalyptically beautiful NJ morning
	9:54am still b/p: Last night was reading something about Hitchcock going rogue in NYC filming North By Northwest. He dissed the cops for poor help and shoot protection. They dissed in return by doing even less for him. So he grabbed shots of real street activity around his actors without the closures and choreographies.
	9:55am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ alanSixº @9:53 Welcome back! How was Costa Rica? 🍌🌴
	9:56am Juli: This was a fave of mine
	9:56am Trouble: desperately seeking susan= nyc
	9:56am alanSixº: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:55 Thanx Ken it was amazing - and nice to be back
	9:56am Juli: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:50 Maybe one day soon the original is fun
	9:56am Juli: ↳ Trouble @9:56 Truth!
	9:57am still b/p: ↳ Trouble @9:56 I wanted the Magic Club to be a real thing/place.
	9:57am Trouble: the taking of pelham 1,2,3 is filmed in nyc, no?
	9:57am Juli: Dinner w Andre lol
	9:58am Juli: ↳ Trouble @9:57 Ill have to look that one up
	9:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @9:57 After Hours, too.
	9:59am Trouble: let's make a list of iconic movies that were flmed in nyc. three days of the condor??
	9:59am Juli: 9 Street from Union Square to the LES to Alphabet city was my jam
	10:00am Handy Haversack: And Tootsie and Serpico are basically the same movie.
	10:00am The Oscar: I'm going to NYC next week, and Pelham and After Hours are both on my list to rewatch to pregame! I just watched Chantal Akerman's News From Home, which is a treasure trove of '70s NY footage.
	10:00am Dances with Moomins: His songs all seem so effortless!
	10:00am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @9:59 Well, Dog Day Afternoon has to be up there. My friend's mom was in the crowd scenes!
	10:01am The Oscar: If you're not squeamish about horror, Basket Case is an incredible document of pre-Giuliani Hell's Kitchen.
	10:01am Juli: ↳ The Oscar @10:00 Basquiat Documentary Radiant Child is fun for 80s NYC
	10:01am still b/p: Breakfast at Tiffany's city exteriors.
	10:02am Crownless Gander: All those old Woody Allen movies, but who wants to watch those anymore?
	10:02am Handy Haversack: Ms. 45 is definitely an NYC movie.
	10:02am Handy Haversack: And Jacob's Ladder.
	10:02am Crownless Gander: Koyaanisqatsi has some amazing NYC footage.
	10:02am alanSixº: ↳ Trouble @9:59 The French connection
	10:03am Zipperhead7: ↳ Trouble @9:59 Midnight Cowboy/Sabrina --the poles of NYC
	10:03am rebuketodali: When I think NYC movie, I think The French Connection and Gene Hackman eating a slice of pizza out of a paper bag.
	10:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ alanSixº @10:02 That's how I learned to drive!
	10:03am The Oscar: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:02 Ooh, that's a great call.
	10:03am Handy Haversack: Moonstruck is iconic, I suppose.
	10:03am abbazabba: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:53 hahaha
	10:04am alanSixº: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:03 😂
	10:04am Mike W.: When the birds coming out of my bose speaka harmonize with the birds in the field I’m standing in
	10:04am Handy Haversack: Are we still allowed to watch Manhattan? Because it's worth it just for Diane Keaton shouting "Waffles!"
	10:05am Crownless Gander: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:04 Might have to make do with When Harry Met Sally.
	10:05am still b/p: Interesting and unusual NYC recreations -- Dead End (1937), and the big blunt stage set-ness of Guys and Dolls.
	10:06am Juli: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:03 Cher is great to watch
	10:06am unpopularfred: the Marvin Gaye anthem sing was the 1983 NBA all-star game
	10:06am Handy Haversack: Do the Right Thing
	10:06am Slaboch: Cal Tjader covering Bachrach is my favorite!
	10:06am alanSixº: For a while Dionne Warwick lived in a quaint house on McKay Ave in East Orange on the Newark border about ten houses from my aunt’s apartment and it every time we passed it as kids we’d say that’s Dionne Warwick’s house!
	10:06am TDK60: 'West Side Story' was in NYC, right? Or was that Cleveland?
	10:07am Crownless Gander: Warriors? Did anyone mention that one?
	10:07am still b/p: I listened the other day to Uncle Michael's tribute to Bach-David from October. Can strongly recommend.
	10:07am The Oscar: On the more obscure end, New York Ninja was an unfinished low-budget action movie shot in the Bronx which was completed a couple of years ago, and it's kind of amazing: bostonhassle.com...
	10:07am JG: 1974 ? The Seven Ups, most NYC (gritty, harsh, Roy Scheiderish) movie ever
	10:07am TDK60: Warhol's Empire State was filmed in NYC.
	10:08am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:07 Waaaaaariaaaahs ... come out to plaaaaaaaaay

	10:08am queems: best park!!
	10:09am Megaroni: Luv your nature shout outs Trouble:)
	10:09am The Oscar: In a slightly different vein, Todd Haynes' Velvet Underground doc from 2021 is also just a great film about New York in the '60s.
	10:10am Edgar from Maine: "God Told Me To" is a nice underground classic from 70s NYC.
	10:10am Andres: Good morning. Kids (1995).
	10:10am Crownless Gander: Elf never disappoints.
	10:10am alanSixº: Pacino, Panic in needle park
	10:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ The Oscar @10:09 Word, was thinking the same thing.
	10:11am Don von Brooklyn: What's all this talk about a "Burt walk" ? (the sidewalk in front of the Brill bldg?)
	10:11am listener james from westwood: Bed-Stuy represents in Do the Right Thing, IIRC.
	10:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ listener james from westwood @10:11 Correct!
	10:12am still b/p: And Pacino, Serpico.
	10:12am unpopularfred: I know Dionne Warwick and Bacharach are essential to each other's success, and nothing against her, but in all the Burt tributes in the past week I kept wishing for more Dusty Springfield
	10:13am alanSixº: And I guess we hafta include Godfather eh?
	10:13am Magnolia: Three Days of the Condor
	10:14am Don von Brooklyn: Iconic NYC movie (& moment): Jean Arthur and bob Cummings on the mobbed beach on 1940s Coney Island in "The Devil & Miss Jones"! (& no, silly, not '70s porno "The Devil in Miss Jones")
	10:14am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Late start for me, not sleeping great lately. Coming off bronchitis. Can not stop thinking of the Ohio train derailment, and White Noise. Went back to the Penguin Viking Critical Library edition, chock full of excellent reviews and scholarly analysis. Been delving in deep and been blown away by his prescience and how fresh and poignant his ideas and criticisms still are. DeLillo’s writing about consumerism, existential dread, commerce, American culture, etc are just exceptional, and often hilarious. Totally bizarro coincidence that lots of the film was shot miles from the East Palestine, OH disaster. To me it’s another of those incidents to which anyone can see in the non-reaction/coverage and cover-ups that NY’s declaration about another avoidable tragedy at the hands of vicious government and corporate power in that Midwestern state holds true again and possibly for all-time: “We’re finally on our own…”
	10:14am Handy Haversack: ↳ alanSixº @10:13 It's honestly kind of suburban! Godfather II has a lot more going on in NYC. So much of the Godfather is Long Island. But I guess it's gotta be let in.
	10:15am John L: Did I miss a conversation on NYC films? Darn. The Pawnbroker, The Sweet Smell Of Success, Blast Of Silence.
	10:15am blue_ego: nice painting hughie lee smith...nice one
	10:15am tim from washington: Hi Trouble and everyone! I hope I haven't missed out on more Nina, Dusty and Dionne.
	10:15am The Oscar: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:10 Also Q: The Winged Serpent, from the same director. The dragon hides in the top of the Chrysler building!
	10:15am Crownless Gander: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:14 Right? I couldn't believe the parallels! Life imitating art parodying life.
	10:16am Crownless Gander: Cassavetes' "Gloria" is a fave that I don't think has been mentioned.
	10:17am TVP: DeKorte Park is actually state property, not Bergen County, so direct all calls and letters to NJSEA: https://www.njsea.com/parks-and-trails/
	10:17am alanSixº: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:14 I dunno man the scenes in 2 when deniro plots to kill the sitting don in little Italy and throws the gun down the chimney on the roof?
	10:19am alanSixº: Headin out have a great day trouble and everyone !
	10:19am Trouble: thanks you@TVP. that is soooo helpful!
	10:19am chresti: Morning Trouble and modern birds! I counted 4 or 5 ravens on the roof of where I work in Griffith Park yesterday. They like the unshelled peanuts I throw up there.
	10:20am Edgar from Maine: ↳ The Oscar @10:15 A classic!
	10:20am still b/p: Alternative to FMU birding meet-up: FMU unauthorized streets-of-NYC film shoot meet-up! Scripting and pre-production by comment board committee will work grrrrreat! City production moment, Rosemary's Baby: "When Farrow was reluctant to film a scene that depicted a dazed and preoccupied Rosemary wandering into the middle of Fifth Avenue into oncoming traffic, Polanski pointed to her pregnancy padding and reassured her, "no one's going to hit a pregnant woman". The scene was successfully shot with Farrow walking into real traffic and Polanski following, operating the hand-held camera since he was the only one willing to do it."
	10:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ alanSixº @10:17 Totally! But that's GFII!
	10:21am Edgar from Maine: ↳ still b/p @10:20 Wow! Now I must watch it yet again.
	10:22am garlic lover: Omg this song
	10:23am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @10:19 Trouble, once the weather warms up, I can try to organize a Modern World bird-watching canoe trip on Newtown Creek in Brooklyn. If that would be of interest. Probably no more than 20 people, though.
	10:25am Trouble: that is very nice of you @handy, but it is hard to close out at a number. over 6o people showed up to de korte park...
	10:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @10:25 I hear you. I wanted the sixty-foot canoe, but the costs were prohibitive!
	10:26am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "keleya" by "Moussa Doumbia" This comp is what sent me to the deep end of the weird and wonderful world of international music. I haven't surfaced since.
	10:27am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:25 A 60 foot canoe is longer than most bodies of water in central Illinois.
	10:28am still b/p: FMU 60 ft. dugout canoe fabricating meet-up! It all adze up!
	10:28am lou in CHI: @tim from washington I had the same experience with this comp
	10:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ still b/p @10:28 That's the spirit!
	10:29am chresti: ↳ Song: "keleya" by "Moussa Doumbia" I've wanted this album for ages!
	10:30am Trouble: whitney book i spoke of: Robyn Crawford , a song for you
	10:32am tim from washington: ↳ lou in CHI @10:28 High five, lou!
	10:32am Zipperhead7: "Radio Houston" by GoHome Productions is a killer Whitney/Radiohead mashup. archive.org...
	10:33am prof.fuzz: morning y'all!!!
	10:33am Handy Haversack: Cheese it! It's the FuZZZZZZZ!
	10:34am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:33 everyone's in trouble now!
	10:35am chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:33 I love the term "cheese it!"
	10:35am tim from washington: ↳ chresti @10:29 I think it's still available through Luaka Bop. Now that you mention it, I don't think I have a copy either!
	10:36am tim from washington: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:34 I'm cool, man. I'm cool.
	10:36am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Love Slipped Through My Fingers" by "ohio players" This is new to me. I've never heard that Players cut. I dug it. Ohio Players are one of my favorites. O-HI-O!
	10:37am peter in SEA: “The occasional man”! ;-)
	10:37am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim from washington @10:36 you are too cool for school, tim
	10:37am Juli: Bye bye all! Thanks for the talks
	10:37am chresti: ↳ tim from washington @10:35 Thanks tim, I'll check it out.
	10:38am prof.fuzz: ↳ chresti @10:35 i also enjoy the snacks "cheese its"...
	10:39am chresti: ↳ Song: "promise her anything" by "tom jones" Tom best follow through on those promises!
	10:39am Uncle Marty: Dionne Warwick - Promises Promises
	10:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @10:36 My buddy pulled off a great coup a couple weeks back. He wanted to go buy edibles from one of the hundreds of gray-market weed stores that have sprung up anywhere. His wife says to him, "They'll never sell to you. You look like a cop!" He insists he looks nothing like a cop. But he's nervous now. He goes to the store, and there's this middle-aged white dude in there trying to buy, and the staff is being cagey, and my buddy shouts, "They won't sell to you because you look like a cop!" Staff agrees. My buddy gets the goods. A week later he goes back again, and the one guy behind the counter turns to the other and says, "Don't worry -- he's not a cop." !
	10:39am Roberto: ↳ Song: "promise her anything" by "tom jones" I vividly recall watching this movie one night on TV in the late '70s or early '80s to pass the time when my parents were out for the night. I believe it was an early effort to cast Warren Beatty as a goofy romantic lead.
	10:40am tim from washington: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:37 That's good to hear, prof. Last time someone assessed my academic credentials they said I was in the N.C.A.A. - No Class At All.
	10:41am chresti: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:38 A classic! I somehow never associated cheese-its with cops?
	10:42am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:39 Brilliant! Your friend's a genius!
	10:44am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:39 that's a good one!
	10:44am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:39 A couple of years later -- boom! He's Clyde Barrow.
	10:44am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim from washington @10:40 "too cool for school" should be standard language on admission rejection letters.
	10:45am Slaboch: Just realized Yoko's birthday is this week too on Saturday the 18th!
	10:47am Juli: Off to work will listen when I can::::
	10:47am Zipperhead7: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:44 When I went off to U of Oklahoma in mid-'70s, they had only one question for roommate compatibility: "Do you like a cool room."
	10:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:47 Everyone who said yes was housed with Tim from Washington.
	10:50am chresti: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:47 Maybe the room didn't have a heater?
	10:50am Juli: Thanks Trouble!
	10:51am prof.fuzz: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:47 really, that's all that matters in college.
	10:52am chresti: Bye Juli!
	10:53am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "doone doone" by "liraz" That Liraz is new, yes? Sounded great.
	10:54am Wind: ↳ Song: "doone doone" by "liraz" What a gem!
	10:54am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "goodbye sadness" by "roberta flack" it's chilly in howdy arabia today, so i'm wearing my roberta flack jacket.
	10:55am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:48 That explains a lot about my dorm living experiences.
	10:55am drr: ↳ unpopularfred @10:12 I also like Dionne, a unique and important performer, but when Burt died, the first thing I wanted to hear was Dee Dee Warwick (her sister) doing "Alfie". Sometimes the Bacharach and David songs can seem emotionally unengaged, but not that one.
	10:55am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:53 I'm really digging this new Liraz too.
	10:56am Zipperhead7: ↳ chresti @10:50 It did -- as well as a mural of Isaac Hayes as Black Moses that covered one whole wall
	10:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @10:55 I think I won the previous album during Marathon 2020?
	10:58am ACIDCAJUAL88: I am so proud to be a listener of your show. In my opinion, your karmic reward for bringing such joy spreads to all of us.
	10:59am Trouble: gracias@ acidcajual88! very kind of you to say
	11:01am SeanG: The Cruise is a great NYC movie, also KIDS
	11:03am Chris Hiatt: Good Morning! Been listening while driving, back here now getting caught up on the click-stars, of which there are many, per the usual.
	11:04am chresti: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:56 Super cool! Must of been a "head" in that room!
	11:05am Andrea: damn... losing loving feelings never felt so good!
	11:07am tadpoles: Playlist says Fatal Microbes coming up!....be quite a change.
	11:08am Roberto: ↳ Song: "you've lost that loving feeling" by "roberta flac... This would appear to be an excruciatingly slow loss of that loving feeling.
	11:08am drr: ↳ tadpoles @11:07 This isn't Fatal Microbes? Hmm.
	11:09am Prodigal Daughter: ↳ Roberto @11:08 @Roberto - that one made me laugh audibly! :-)
	11:13am Roberto: ↳ Prodigal Daughter @11:09 😁
	11:14am aegidisonus: I miss Duane too!
	11:16am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "the party's over" by "blossom dearie" YAY!!!
	11:18am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "the party's over" by "blossom dearie" Which ones did she sing on Schoolhouse Rock?
	11:20am drr: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:18 figure 8 and one about pronouns...
	11:22am drr: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:18 no, that's wrong. She did "Unpack your Adjectives".
	11:24am Trouble: i think blossom did sing figure 8
	11:24am Zipperhead7: ↳ Song: "the man from two worlds" by "chico hamilton" Gábor Szabó on guitar

	11:26am Handy Haversack: I have decided to give myself a treat and go get a roti for lunch, but it sure is hard to leave this fantastic program. Trouble, you're a marvel. What a great show! Many thanks.
	11:28am Edgar from Maine: For a moment there I thought this was Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.
	11:29am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Trouble @11:24 Thanks T and drr, I'll review on the chilly weekend with the 10 year old.
	11:35am drr: ↳ Trouble @11:24 Oh yes, she definitely did Figure 8; I was wrong about the pronouns.
	11:36am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "golgotha" by "emahoy tsege mariam gebru" She's so amazing. Still kicking too! 99 trips around the sun.
	11:36am drr: ↳ Song: "mercy" by "john cale" does he really have an album called Mercyland? That's my friend's band name. The group Cowboy Mouth also used their name for an album title.
	11:36am abbazabba: ↳ Song: "golgotha" by "emahoy tsege mariam gebru" My literature professor in college had a picture hanging in his office of a sign, presumably in an amusement parks somewhere in the bible belt, that read "Golgotha Fun Park", which I found hilarious.
	11:37am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "golgotha" by "emahoy tsege mariam gebru" I think I found out about this artist from your show, Trouble. So grateful!

	11:39am kevlicki: Hi trouble and all! Have a great day
	11:39am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Trouble @11:38 I think I heard her here for the first time as well, though maybe Scott played a cut too around the same time? Was she on any of the Ethiopiques stuff as well?
	11:40am Trouble: thanks@drr: the title was written wrong on the fmu tag: has been corrected!
	11:42am Crownless Gander: ↳ Trouble @11:38 Oh boy! I'll check 'em out!

	11:44am Mike W: You brought it to life today Trouble!!! Thanku
	11:45am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "gone away" by "roberta flack" This cut. These low brass counter melodies are among the best moments in recorded music. Healthy dollop of Roberta on the show today, grateful. Happy Birthday month.
	11:47am TDK60: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:45 I hadn't heard this Flack 'Gone Away' in ages. And, Chris, the strings hit those bluesy notes.
	11:50am βrian: Wow, what a lovely show! And almost time for Continental Subway: wfmu.org...
	11:52am Trouble: thanks for listening today! and please, write your legislators to ask for an end to the carnage
	11:52am Jason from Houston: HELL YEAH
	11:52am Chris Hiatt: ↳ TDK60 @11:47 The brass, the strings. It's perfect. We have this on vinyl, heavy rotation at the flat. I'm sad she's done singing, it seems the ALS is making it hard if not impossible to continue...
	11:52am bradford: Wonderful show today Trouble. Many thanks!
	11:53am Jason from Houston: Many thanks, Trouble. Keep after them, good people.
	11:53am Julie: I will be here shortly

	11:53am abbazabba: ↳ abbazabba @11:36 I just looked it up. Golgotha Fun Park was actually a miniature golf course in my home state, Kentucky. YAY!
	11:54am TDK60: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:52 Chris, I used to have the album, it's gone away. Funny, this Nina "Spell" has strings playing a very similar blues riff.
	11:54am Vivian: ↳ drr @11:36 I remember Mercyland, use to go see them at the 40 Watt.
	11:56am Chris Hiatt: ↳ TDK60 @11:54 Back when there were strings on everything!

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 rebuketodali: Good morning! It is a sunny, warm day here in Florida, but my governor is DeSantis, so...
	9:02am Crownless Gander: Good morning! Sunny here and going up to 11°C but still snow on the ground right now. Love the art, as usual!
	9:02am TDK60: Bonjour Trouble!
	9:02am Listener Bop Monroe: greetings from sunniest in a while Tannersville DJT and all. i had cawfee. time to calm down slowwwwwwly. this's doing it. thnx!
	9:02am Dances with Moomins: Good morning all moderns, grey day in Turku town.
	9:02am listener james from westwood: ↳ rebuketodali @9:02 Uggggh, sorry for the shite gov, @rebuketodali. May his sun set soon.
	9:05am Fredericks: ↳ rebuketodali @9:02 Mine, too.
	9:05am Zipperhead7: Good morning, Troubled Modernists! Terry Eagleton said that blaming Marx for communist totalitarianism is like blaming Jesus for the Inquistion
	9:06am rebuketodali: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:02 One can hope, but he's extremely popular here.
	9:07am still b/p: Noooobody expects the Central Committee! ...oh, wait.
	9:07am βrian: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:02 I'm glad to say we extirpated Walker here in Wisconsin.
	9:08am PaulRobeson1923: Clear Light
	9:09am Trouble: good morning all! here's a little info on the painter of the day: www.artnet.com...
	9:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and all. ¡Viva la revolución!
	9:11am riley: Good morning!, a mystical, moody slate blue-gray day here in Asheville.
	9:11am listener james from westwood: ↳ βrian @9:07 Good on ya! What a grasping wannabe-president wretch he was.
	9:11am oshiwoshi: ↳ Song: "compared to what" by "roberta flack" Mutt - not mud - and i reserve the right to kiss doggo
	9:13am Juli: I don't suffer from wrath j self defense and fear lol
	9:14am Corey: Love this Roberta Flack! What a song!
	9:14am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:05 Maybe KM was more of a prophet than an agent of change. You can re-read the Communist Manifesto over and over and it still rings true.
	9:15am Crownless Gander: ↳ Trouble @9:09 Nice, thanks! Definitely see the Hopper comparison.
	9:17am Handy Haversack: Slinging pure star fire this morning, Trouble!
	9:18am Juli: <3
	9:18am Crownless Gander: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:14 His analysis and linguistic flair are pretty undeniable. Plus, he had zero patience for the other young Hegelians, which I always find pretty amusing/apt.
	9:19am Zipperhead7: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:14 Absolutely! "All that is solid melts into air" defines the joy and horror of modernity
	9:19am Roberto: ↳ Song: "love me or leave me" by "nina simone" Nina gettin' Bachhy wit it.
	9:20am Trouble: 'i intend to be independently blue'- gorgeous!
	9:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ rebuketodali @9:06 Speaking of, hope everyone saw this open letter from journalists calling out the NYT for their disgustingly collaborationist antitrans editorial stance: nytletter.com With a link to popula.com...
	9:21am Trouble: nina simone's birthday is feb 21, roberta flack, feb 10, francoise hardy jan 17: menu for today
	9:22am Slaboch: love the painting today! sounding great as always!
	9:22am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @9:21 Well, that will do nicely. I think one of the great joys of K8's life is that she actually got to see Nina Simone perform.
	9:23am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:19 We were promised flying cars and robot maids, but got Facebook and Twitter.
	9:23am wind: ♥️ your taste in music is delicious Trouble ♥️ I Wish I could listen live more often.
	9:25am TDK60: I just saw that today was the date in 1916 that Emma Goldman was arrested in NYC for lecturing on birth control. (I'm so glad we've evolved beyond such...)
	9:25am Trouble: tell us more about that @handy. i never saw nina play live. merci@ wind!
	9:25am Trouble: hey michael!
	9:27am Robm: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:22 So jealous of K8 handy, wished i could have seen her live Hello troublemakers
	9:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @9:25 Well, K8 would tell it better, but as I understand, it was outside on a pier in Seattle, with the sound behind as a backdrop. Nina on a piano. A little obligatory rain. And K8 was thoroughly transported. She must have been in her twenties? I think we established once that another listener was at the same show.
	9:28am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:25 Right? With our enlightened leaders, such barbarism could never happen today!
	9:29am still b/p: Hearing Nina reminds me of Summer of Soul, and reminds me of how I'm looking forward to the current Wattstax doc. She's not in it -- not being a Stax artist -- but I expect the two films to have some shared kinds of big BIG music-and-energy enjoyments.
	9:29am ACIDCAJUAL88: Great show! I’ve got you on my speed dial in the archives. And chilling on the parlor HIFI w our cats on this self imposed furlo Day off. I find your bird sounds therapeutic and delightful.
	9:30am The Oscar: Mornin'! I always love tuning in for Trouble's Nina Simone birthday show; a few years back I was in NYC and listened over the airwaves in my little hotel room, and it was lovely.
	9:31am bobobob fabtriplasticland: good music ...did u see her in The Summer of love ..questlove movie???
	9:32am Crownless Gander: Never heard this version. Really nice!
	9:32am justoffthebeach: saw saint omer last night, so this song is timely for me
	9:32am bobobob: summer of Soul ...sorry
	9:34am Yetz: so good
	9:35am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @9:34 May as well clicky-star the whole episode now.
	9:36am Tara: that transition from the wolff hemings ambient piece into compared to what was so magical im still getting over it
	9:37am Bdogg & Felix: Hi Trouble ! Art teachers! Check us out at www.dotandlineartstudio.com. We love your show!
	9:37am alan the painter: good mooring, birds are chirping oUt my window and they murmer in a big chirp Nichole Mitchel Chicago!
	9:39am Yetz: ↳ alan the painter @9:37 "Mitchell" with 2 L's (unlike the WFMU DJ)
	9:39am bobobob plasticland: I was sitting with Roberta flack at a table in Milwaukee watching Freddie Hubbard ..didn't know until she stood up ... beautiful lady..is she still alive??
	9:40am Juli: When I studied in Paris my Girlfriend could not understand my love of French singers from the 1960s:::She's like um listen to The Strokes what's wrong w you lol
	9:41am Juli: She was Parisian in this loft apartment All my friends were rich and let me tag along and paid for me w their parents money I suppose lol What a life
	9:41am ?: Hi Trouble, Roberta Flack is from Black Mountain, NC, and Nina Simone is from Tryon NC. These are both western North Carolina towns not far from Asheville NC. I think it's interesting because they are two of the most prominent musicians from the area.
	9:42am still b/p: To clarify my earlier reference -- the Wattstax doc is a 50th anniversary re-release. Concert '72, film '73.
	9:42am Phillippe: howdy
	9:42am Yetz: ↳ bobobob plasticland @9:39 Wikipedia says she's 86 - also that she has used the alias "Rubina Flake" which is pretty funny!
	9:42am mb: Aloha DJ Trouble + crew
	9:42am alan the painter: Trouble wit your humor keeps us Bo,uye n' gurl_lant, cheshire cat smile 4un s phillie...
	9:43am Tres Vt Knit Girl: Drama at Work, this total helps, Thanks Trouble!
	9:43am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "tip tap t'endends mes pas" by "francoise hardy" For Christmas my wife got me an amazing Japanese poster of Godard's Masculin Feminin. The poster prominently features Francoise Hardy, even though she's only in it for 30 seconds and doesn't say anything!
	9:43am terminalhipness: "musical sage" - ahh, that helps to explain why I especially appreciate Modern World openings...
	9:44am TDK60: Françoise Hardy was played on the Wake show this morn.
	9:44am ?: so not only do they share a birthday month, but they grew up 30 miles apart!
	9:44am Edgar from Maine: Trouble, thanks for the reminder that my record collection is woefully void of Francoise Hardy.
	9:45am Juli: I miss Paris but I miss NYC more
	9:49am Juli: Been watching some love letters to NYC in films lately Frances Ha...Metropolitan um What else Thumbsucker
	9:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Juli @9:49 Ghostbusters?

	9:53am alanSixº: G Mornin’ Trouble and everyone - really enjoying the show from my yard on this apocalyptically beautiful NJ morning
	9:54am still b/p: Last night was reading something about Hitchcock going rogue in NYC filming North By Northwest. He dissed the cops for poor help and shoot protection. They dissed in return by doing even less for him. So he grabbed shots of real street activity around his actors without the closures and choreographies.
	9:55am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ alanSixº @9:53 Welcome back! How was Costa Rica? 🍌🌴
	9:56am Juli: This was a fave of mine

	10:08am Crownless Gander: ↳ TDK60 @10:07 Ha ha!
	10:08am still b/p: Taxi Driver, Mean Streets.
	10:08am queems: best park!!
	10:09am Megaroni: Luv your nature shout outs Trouble:)
	10:09am The Oscar: In a slightly different vein, Todd Haynes' Velvet Underground doc from 2021 is also just a great film about New York in the '60s.
	10:10am Edgar from Maine: "God Told Me To" is a nice underground classic from 70s NYC.
	10:10am Andres: Good morning. Kids (1995).
	10:10am Crownless Gander: Elf never disappoints.
	10:10am alanSixº: Pacino, Panic in needle park
	10:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ The Oscar @10:09 Word, was thinking the same thing.
	10:11am Don von Brooklyn: What's all this talk about a "Burt walk" ? (the sidewalk in front of the Brill bldg?)
	10:11am listener james from westwood: Bed-Stuy represents in Do the Right Thing, IIRC.
	10:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ listener james from westwood @10:11 Correct!
	10:12am still b/p: And Pacino, Serpico.
	10:12am unpopularfred: I know Dionne Warwick and Bacharach are essential to each other's success, and nothing against her, but in all the Burt tributes in the past week I kept wishing for more Dusty Springfield
	10:13am alanSixº: And I guess we hafta include Godfather eh?
	10:13am Magnolia: Three Days of the Condor
	10:14am Don von Brooklyn: Iconic NYC movie (& moment): Jean Arthur and bob Cummings on the mobbed beach on 1940s Coney Island in "The Devil & Miss Jones"! (& no, silly, not '70s porno "The Devil in Miss Jones")
	10:14am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Late start for me, not sleeping great lately. Coming off bronchitis. Can not stop thinking of the Ohio train derailment, and White Noise. Went back to the Penguin Viking Critical Library edition, chock full of excellent reviews and scholarly analysis. Been delving in deep and been blown away by his prescience and how fresh and poignant his ideas and criticisms still are. DeLillo’s writing about consumerism, existential dread, commerce, American culture, etc are just exceptional, and often hilarious. Totally bizarro coincidence that lots of the film was shot miles from the East Palestine, OH disaster. To me it’s another of those incidents to which anyone can see in the non-reaction/coverage and cover-ups that NY’s declaration about another avoidable tragedy at the hands of vicious government and corporate power in that Midwestern state holds true again and possibly for all-time: “We’re finally on our own…”
	10:14am Handy Haversack: ↳ alanSixº @10:13 It's honestly kind of suburban! Godfather II has a lot more going on in NYC. So much of the Godfather is Long Island. But I guess it's gotta be let in.
	10:15am John L: Did I miss a conversation on NYC films? Darn. The Pawnbroker, The Sweet Smell Of Success, Blast Of Silence.
	10:15am blue_ego: nice painting hughie lee smith...nice one
	10:15am tim from washington: Hi Trouble and everyone! I hope I haven't missed out on more Nina, Dusty and Dionne.
	10:15am The Oscar: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:10 Also Q: The Winged Serpent, from the same director. The dragon hides in the top of the Chrysler building!
	10:15am Crownless Gander: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:14 Right? I couldn't believe the parallels! Life imitating art parodying life.
	10:16am Crownless Gander: Cassavetes' "Gloria" is a fave that I don't think has been mentioned.
	10:17am TVP: DeKorte Park is actually state property, not Bergen County, so direct all calls and letters to NJSEA: https://www.njsea.com/parks-and-trails/
	10:17am alanSixº: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:14 I dunno man the scenes in 2 when deniro plots to kill the sitting don in little Italy and throws the gun down the chimney on the roof?
	10:19am alanSixº: Headin out have a great day trouble and everyone !
	10:19am Trouble: thanks you@TVP. that is soooo helpful!
	10:19am chresti: Morning Trouble and modern birds! I counted 4 or 5 ravens on the roof of where I work in Griffith Park yesterday. They like the unshelled peanuts I throw up there.
	10:20am Edgar from Maine: ↳ The Oscar @10:15 A classic!
	10:20am still b/p: Alternative to FMU birding meet-up: FMU unauthorized streets-of-NYC film shoot meet-up! Scripting and pre-production by comment board committee will work grrrrreat! City production moment, Rosemary's Baby: "When Farrow was reluctant to film a scene that depicted a dazed and preoccupied Rosemary wandering into the middle of Fifth Avenue into oncoming traffic, Polanski pointed to her pregnancy padding and reassured her, "no one's going to hit a pregnant woman". The scene was successfully shot with Farrow walking into real traffic and Polanski following, operating the hand-held camera since he was the only one willing to do it."
	10:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ alanSixº @10:17 Totally! But that's GFII!
	10:21am Edgar from Maine: ↳ still b/p @10:20 Wow! Now I must watch it yet again.
	10:22am garlic lover: Omg this song
	10:23am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @10:19 Trouble, once the weather warms up, I can try to organize a Modern World bird-watching canoe trip on Newtown Creek in Brooklyn. If that would be of interest. Probably no more than 20 people, though.
	10:25am Trouble: that is very nice of you @handy, but it is hard to close out at a number. over 6o people showed up to de korte park...
	10:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @10:25 I hear you. I wanted the sixty-foot canoe, but the costs were prohibitive!
	10:26am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "keleya" by "Moussa Doumbia" This comp is what sent me to the deep end of the weird and wonderful world of international music. I haven't surfaced since.
	10:27am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:25 A 60 foot canoe is longer than most bodies of water in central Illinois.
	10:28am still b/p: FMU 60 ft. dugout canoe fabricating meet-up! It all adze up!
	10:28am lou in CHI: @tim from washington I had the same experience with this comp
	10:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ still b/p @10:28 That's the spirit!
	10:29am chresti: ↳ Song: "keleya" by "Moussa Doumbia" I've wanted this album for ages!
	10:30am Trouble: whitney book i spoke of: Robyn Crawford , a song for you
	10:32am tim from washington: ↳ lou in CHI @10:28 High five, lou!
	10:32am Zipperhead7: "Radio Houston" by GoHome Productions is a killer Whitney/Radiohead mashup. archive.org...
	10:33am prof.fuzz: morning y'all!!!
	10:33am Handy Haversack: Cheese it! It's the FuZZZZZZZ!
	10:34am prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:33 everyone's in trouble now!
	10:35am chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:33 I love the term "cheese it!"
	10:35am tim from washington: ↳ chresti @10:29 I think it's still available through Luaka Bop. Now that you mention it, I don't think I have a copy either!
	10:36am tim from washington: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:34 I'm cool, man. I'm cool.
	10:36am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "Love Slipped Through My Fingers" by "ohio players" This is new to me. I've never heard that Players cut. I dug it. Ohio Players are one of my favorites. O-HI-O!
	10:37am peter in SEA: “The occasional man”! ;-)
	10:37am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim from washington @10:36 you are too cool for school, tim
	10:37am Juli: Bye bye all! Thanks for the talks
	10:37am chresti: ↳ tim from washington @10:35 Thanks tim, I'll check it out.
	10:38am prof.fuzz: ↳ chresti @10:35 i also enjoy the snacks "cheese its"...
	10:39am chresti: ↳ Song: "promise her anything" by "tom jones" Tom best follow through on those promises!
	10:39am Uncle Marty: Dionne Warwick - Promises Promises
	10:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @10:36 My buddy pulled off a great coup a couple weeks back. He wanted to go buy edibles from one of the hundreds of gray-market weed stores that have sprung up anywhere. His wife says to him, "They'll never sell to you. You look like a cop!" He insists he looks nothing like a cop. But he's nervous now. He goes to the store, and there's this middle-aged white dude in there trying to buy, and the staff is being cagey, and my buddy shouts, "They won't sell to you because you look like a cop!" Staff agrees. My buddy gets the goods. A week later he goes back again, and the one guy behind the counter turns to the other and says, "Don't worry -- he's not a cop." !
	10:39am Roberto: ↳ Song: "promise her anything" by "tom jones" I vividly recall watching this movie one night on TV in the late '70s or early '80s to pass the time when my parents were out for the night. I believe it was an early effort to cast Warren Beatty as a goofy romantic lead.
	10:40am tim from washington: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:37 That's good to hear, prof. Last time someone assessed my academic credentials they said I was in the N.C.A.A. - No Class At All.
	10:41am chresti: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:38 A classic! I somehow never associated cheese-its with cops?
	10:42am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:39 Brilliant! Your friend's a genius!
	10:44am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:39 that's a good one!
	10:44am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @10:39 A couple of years later -- boom! He's Clyde Barrow.
	10:44am prof.fuzz: ↳ tim from washington @10:40 "too cool for school" should be standard language on admission rejection letters.
	10:45am Slaboch: Just realized Yoko's birthday is this week too on Saturday the 18th!
	10:47am Juli: Off to work will listen when I can::::
	10:47am Zipperhead7: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:44 When I went off to U of Oklahoma in mid-'70s, they had only one question for roommate compatibility: "Do you like a cool room."
	10:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:47 Everyone who said yes was housed with Tim from Washington.
	10:50am chresti: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:47 Maybe the room didn't have a heater?
	10:50am Juli: Thanks Trouble!
	10:51am prof.fuzz: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:47 really, that's all that matters in college.
	10:52am chresti: Bye Juli!
	10:53am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "doone doone" by "liraz" That Liraz is new, yes? Sounded great.
	10:54am Wind: ↳ Song: "doone doone" by "liraz" What a gem!
	10:54am prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "goodbye sadness" by "roberta flack" it's chilly in howdy arabia today, so i'm wearing my roberta flack jacket.
	10:55am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:48 That explains a lot about my dorm living experiences.
	10:55am drr: ↳ unpopularfred @10:12 I also like Dionne, a unique and important performer, but when Burt died, the first thing I wanted to hear was Dee Dee Warwick (her sister) doing "Alfie". Sometimes the Bacharach and David songs can seem emotionally unengaged, but not that one.
	10:55am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:53 I'm really digging this new Liraz too.
	10:56am Zipperhead7: ↳ chresti @10:50 It did -- as well as a mural of Isaac Hayes as Black Moses that covered one whole wall
	10:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @10:55 I think I won the previous album during Marathon 2020?
	10:58am ACIDCAJUAL88: I am so proud to be a listener of your show. In my opinion, your karmic reward for bringing such joy spreads to all of us.
	10:59am Trouble: gracias@ acidcajual88! very kind of you to say
	11:01am SeanG: The Cruise is a great NYC movie, also KIDS
	11:03am Chris Hiatt: Good Morning! Been listening while driving, back here now getting caught up on the click-stars, of which there are many, per the usual.
	11:04am chresti: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:56 Super cool! Must of been a "head" in that room!
	11:05am Andrea: damn... losing loving feelings never felt so good!
	11:07am tadpoles: Playlist says Fatal Microbes coming up!....be quite a change.
	11:08am Roberto: ↳ Song: "you've lost that loving feeling" by "roberta flac... This would appear to be an excruciatingly slow loss of that loving feeling.
	11:08am drr: ↳ tadpoles @11:07 This isn't Fatal Microbes? Hmm.
	11:09am Prodigal Daughter: ↳ Roberto @11:08 @Roberto - that one made me laugh audibly! :-)
	11:13am Roberto: ↳ Prodigal Daughter @11:09 😁
	11:14am aegidisonus: I miss Duane too!
	11:16am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "the party's over" by "blossom dearie" YAY!!!
	11:18am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "the party's over" by "blossom dearie" Which ones did she sing on Schoolhouse Rock?
	11:20am drr: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:18 figure 8 and one about pronouns...
	11:22am drr: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:18 no, that's wrong. She did "Unpack your Adjectives".
	11:24am Trouble: i think blossom did sing figure 8
	11:24am Zipperhead7: ↳ Song: "the man from two worlds" by "chico hamilton" Gábor Szabó on guitar
	11:26am TDK60: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:24 Yeah, Z7. I noticed that; Szabo had a recognizable sound.
	11:26am Handy Haversack: I have decided to give myself a treat and go get a roti for lunch, but it sure is hard to leave this fantastic program. Trouble, you're a marvel. What a great show! Many thanks.
	11:28am Edgar from Maine: For a moment there I thought this was Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.
	11:29am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Trouble @11:24 Thanks T and drr, I'll review on the chilly weekend with the 10 year old.
	11:35am drr: ↳ Trouble @11:24 Oh yes, she definitely did Figure 8; I was wrong about the pronouns.
	11:36am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "golgotha" by "emahoy tsege mariam gebru" She's so amazing. Still kicking too! 99 trips around the sun.
	11:36am drr: ↳ Song: "mercy" by "john cale" does he really have an album called Mercyland? That's my friend's band name. The group Cowboy Mouth also used their name for an album title.
	11:36am abbazabba: ↳ Song: "golgotha" by "emahoy tsege mariam gebru" My literature professor in college had a picture hanging in his office of a sign, presumably in an amusement parks somewhere in the bible belt, that read "Golgotha Fun Park", which I found hilarious.
	11:37am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "golgotha" by "emahoy tsege mariam gebru" I think I found out about this artist from your show, Trouble. So grateful!
	11:38am Mike W: pri goo radioshow for the umpteenth straight time
	11:38am Trouble: @ crownless: there are two newly released records by emahoy ( from the 1960's) in the new bin right now, out on Mississippi records.
	11:39am kevlicki: Hi trouble and all! Have a great day
	11:39am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Trouble @11:38 I think I heard her here for the first time as well, though maybe Scott played a cut too around the same time? Was she on any of the Ethiopiques stuff as well?
	11:40am Trouble: thanks@drr: the title was written wrong on the fmu tag: has been corrected!
	11:42am Crownless Gander: ↳ Trouble @11:38 Oh boy! I'll check 'em out!
	11:43am Zipperhead7: Zipperdawg is impatient so out the door we go. Thanx, Trouble!!!
	11:44am kev: You killed it today Trouble!!! Thanks
	11:44am Mike W: You brought it to life today Trouble!!! Thanku
	11:45am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "gone away" by "roberta flack" This cut. These low brass counter melodies are among the best moments in recorded music. Healthy dollop of Roberta on the show today, grateful. Happy Birthday month.
	11:47am TDK60: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:45 I hadn't heard this Flack 'Gone Away' in ages. And, Chris, the strings hit those bluesy notes.
	11:50am βrian: Wow, what a lovely show! And almost time for Continental Subway: wfmu.org...
	11:52am Trouble: thanks for listening today! and please, write your legislators to ask for an end to the carnage
	11:52am Jason from Houston: HELL YEAH
	11:52am Chris Hiatt: ↳ TDK60 @11:47 The brass, the strings. It's perfect. We have this on vinyl, heavy rotation at the flat. I'm sad she's done singing, it seems the ALS is making it hard if not impossible to continue...
	11:52am bradford: Wonderful show today Trouble. Many thanks!
	11:53am Jason from Houston: Many thanks, Trouble. Keep after them, good people.
	11:53am Julie: I will be here shortly
	11:53am alan the painter: yes U do, every thursday! thank you bIg....
	11:53am listener james from westwood: Would love to have been a fly on the wall when Screamin' Jay found out Nina was covering this.
	11:53am abbazabba: ↳ abbazabba @11:36 I just looked it up. Golgotha Fun Park was actually a miniature golf course in my home state, Kentucky. YAY!
	11:54am TDK60: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:52 Chris, I used to have the album, it's gone away. Funny, this Nina "Spell" has strings playing a very similar blues riff.
	11:54am Vivian: ↳ drr @11:36 I remember Mercyland, use to go see them at the 40 Watt.
	11:56am Chris Hiatt: ↳ TDK60 @11:54 Back when there were strings on everything!
	11:56am Hubig Pie: Love the dreamy French pop. Yes I do
	11:57am Julie: thank you Trouble!
	11:58am drr: ↳ Vivian @11:54 @Vivian: they played a show in Athens last weekend!
	11:59am TDK60: Grazie, DJ T.
	11:59am Crownless Gander: Another artist I heard hear first! Thanks for a great show today, Trouble!
	11:59am Chris Hiatt: Fantastic show. Thanks, Trouble!
	11:59am listener james from westwood: Yay, Julie! And thanks, Trouble!
