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.

  9:18am
BSI:

Would this be cobalt blue? It has a small touch of red in it so maybe...? Favorite shade of all. Must paint my eyeballs cobalt. It will improve everything.
  9:23am
?:

hey, apache. i loves me some shadows (even if it's not the shadows).
  9:24am
glenn:

ooops.
  9:27am
Parq:

Ditto what BSI is saying about this shade of blue -- reminds me of the sky on a clear evening in the last little remnant of daylight.
  9:28am

Jennique:

Good soggy morning to you Trouble. Thanks a ton for your premium cd. Got it in the mail just the other day. Love the blue and gold coloring combo. Makes me think of old California license plates, Blue Angel fighter/show pilots, the movie Blue Velvet and the Swedish flag.
  9:43am
pierre:

Trouble you are the best, thanks for sharing this with us !!!
  9:44am
dc pat:

did we find out the significance of the aristocratic lady and/or who painted? Too lazy to look..
  9:44am
trouble:

glad you like it jennique! it was the second version since the first painting i made featured a puddle of hot pink that would not reproduce at all! weird, like it was a ghost in a photo or such...
  9:45am
bw:

Trouble!!! this got me out of bed!? French horse races!!! heeee I hope you are well
  9:45am
pierre:

"avenue des gobelins" that near where i live !
Dear Trouble, do you know when this was recorded ? is it 1968 ?
  9:47am
trouble:

hey bw! this is riots live a paris 1968!
  9:50am
pierre:

aaah knew it !
when the guys said "matraque blanche" (white club - as in weapon), it sounded like something from the past, know policemen clubs are dark, thus the blood is less visible… sigh police violences.

Trouble, i love your show.
  9:50am
pierre:

Hi bw !
  9:51am
trouble:

oui pierre it is live from the may 68 riots. i grabbed it off the web but alas i have to look for another copy now since this one is out of phase
  9:52am
richard c:

OMG Trouble, another Adrian Sherwood classic! Mark Stewart is well worth delving into but Jerusalem has to be a high point...
  9:56am
trouble:

i love that song, so freaky those soccer chants ...
  10:05am
pierre:

a "témoignage" is "a witnessing" dear Trouble
  10:06am

  10:08am
pierre:

au plaisir
  10:08am
Jennique:

If you cut holes in the plastic bag just big enough to fit your legs through, you could have plastic pantaloons. Now THAT is a look.
  10:08am
postmanpaul:

Hi Trouble, your painted lady has' hidden' Tamara de Lempicka-esq facial features but I know it's a Gainsborough. Without a shadow of a doubt!
  10:17am
Ken:

Who sang that version of "In the Land of Make-Believe" in your last set? I think I'm only familiar w/Dusty Springfield's.
  10:18am
trouble:

really pmp? do you think so? i found it thru the yale university archives and i can't recall the credit...
  10:20am
Brian in UK:

Hello Trouble, same weather overhere. Dullsville. Hey. Got a mental block with Morton Subotnick, always want to call him Milton.
postmanpaul, did you listen to Irene yesterday? New listener in Brighton commented? The Copper Family are playing The Greys pub on Bank Holiday, I want to get down for that one.
  10:21am

pierre:

  10:43am
postmanpaul:

Hey Brian! I proposed to my gorgeous wife-to-be in the Greys! I liked B Braggs Imagined Village very much (particularly the album artwork - can I say that without sounding like a pitifully shallow graphic designer?). Let's meet up there!
Trouble - I think I've spotted that painting before, was it poss hanging on the stair wall in a classic Vincent Price horror!
  10:48am
moose:

  10:53am
trouble:

very yippee at my house
  10:53am
maja:

@pmp that makes more sense, but she IS intriging with that hair and fur
  10:56am
Brian in UK:

@pmp Sounds like a good idea. Need to sort out practicalities coming from Watford & whether there are any tickets left. My sister might be coming up from Somerset that w/end as well. You've confused me with the BB reference.
  10:58am
Carmichael:

Good non-Monday morning, everyone.
  11:01am
aaron in chicago:

if this was any mellower it would be silence
  11:01am
dc pat:

thanks still
  11:02am
Brian in UK:

Would recommend the film 'Benda Bilili' to everyone if you get a chance to see it. Saw it last night, very touching as well as Congolese music with a new twist.
  11:03am
aaron in chicago:

good thing!
  11:06am
annie:

trouble, is there any hint of your nest time-slot?
  11:06am

toysandtechniques.blogspot.com: m in manhattan
  11:10am
dc pat:

she may be lovely but she obviously needs to be guillotined, sorry...
  11:11am
listener mark:

Will the crane be installing an air conditioner on the roof? It is super hot upstairs, we had to drink many cold beverages to stay cool.
  11:14am
pierre:

i didn't know this version, i think i'm in love with Debbie Harry
  11:15am
Deepak:

This reminds me, Blondie will be on A&E's private sessions this sunday
  11:16am
dc pat:

I've been in love with Debbie Harry for 30-some years...
  11:16am
postmanpaul:

I believed they featured on the album, Brian - song about a day in the life of an olden days Suffolk shepherd. Nice work still b/p! Am presently scrutinising and verifying. Thanks maja! Her hair and mink do not appear to be of that period, but.
  11:17am
Deepak:

This is the only version a french friend of mine liked when i introduced him to Blondie.
  11:17am
Brian in UK:

@ pierre If you like her, try this. It's on next Sunday.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0118cmz
  11:18am
Carmichael:

OK, now I'm the comments board whack job once again for disliking Blondie.
  11:18am
frenchee:

I thought Trouble was looking for a (whooping) crane in her backyard until she mentioned the parking lot...and the A.C.
  11:19am
Deepak:

why would anyone dislike Blondie? Its the greatest band ever.
  11:20am
dc pat:

blondie for me was like a gateway drug. I liked some of their stuff but quickly moved on to much noisier groups. Still in love with Debbie though...
  11:20am
pierre:

@ dc pat : yeah i've a friend who's been waiting as well.
@ Carmichael : yeah, but what about Debbie Harry ?
@ Deepack : thanks, will there be archive of that ? I mean, does the bbc has the same archive policy as wfmu does, which is completely awesome.
  11:20am
Brian in UK:

This is what FMU needs more verbals. Is this a Jerry Lee Lewis take off? Hello baby you know what I like.
@pmp I think she is wearing a syrup.
  11:22am
ffrr:

Good morning Trouble. Was that a 'teach your parrot to talk' record? I think I have that.
  11:22am
Stevel:

I remember seeing Blondie on the Midnight Special about 100 years ago. I was SURE Debbie Harry actually checked me out with a slow, up and down look. Not sure what she saw in a 16-year-old twerp in his PJs, but hey, a boy can dream.
  11:22am
Vivian:

Which WFMU djs appeared in the New Pornographers' Moves video?

Can't talk now. Resting, pining for fjords.
  11:24am
postmanpaul:

@ Brian, that was Sussex, not Suffolk. PJ Harvey has a rather special new album out, wouldn't mind catching her at Barcelona's Primavera Sound Festival end of May.... awesome line-up. Thanks wfmu for covering the show.
  11:24am
stu:

Your looking rather regal this morning Trouble !

Cheers
  11:25am
aaron in chicago:

I like my tropiques triste.
  11:25am
Deepak:

@pierre i'm afraid there's no archive for BBC programmes but if you check out TheBox.bz or any other private torrent tracker you'll find the whole thing.
  11:25am
Brian in UK:

@ pierre I think that the BBC iplayer retains for one week.
Clem Burkes drumming was the BEST. Crisp, sharp on the beat.
pmp see you in Spain!!!!
  11:28am

@Vivian: Therese the WFMU dj is also in the New Pornogs' video, so is Tom Scharpling's Associate Producer Mike. Mike is stellar with a gun in his mouth (held by indie fave "OH THAT GUY" whatshisname....)
  11:36am
Vivian:

@frenchee-Ted Leo? I think I saw Andy from Shut Up Weirdo in that video, too.
