	9:16am Mike East: the trailer for "Battleship: the Movie" starts..."From the makers of Transformers...Hasbro." Can we stop making films based on toys from the 80's?
	9:19am Mike East: There's also that Rock em Sock em Robots movie from a year or two ago. Maybe my standards are too high. Good morning everyone. Off to work.
	9:20am earwax: @Mike, that craze will end eventually, to be replaced by toys of the 90's - Tickle Me Elmo, The Movie
	9:20am ranjit: I would watch a Hungry Hungry Hippos movie.
	9:20am fred von helsing: Easy-Bake Oven: The Final Frosting

	♥ 9:23am trouble: oooooo, maurice is gone. www.nytimes.com...
	9:24am ffrr: Good morning. The temple guardians remind me of the prologue to 'The Excorcist'. Speaking of the Devils, congrats to your New Jersey hockey team.
	♥ 9:24am trouble: my husband and son saw the, as i prefer to call it, the new shaun the sheep movie and they concur, big thumbs up!
	9:31am pierre: `Bonjour Trouble !
	9:33am Van in DC: I like this tune :)
	♥ 9:35am trouble: bonjour pierre, ca va? new president, congratulations.
	9:35am allan: this is making my morning
	9:37am PKNY: Trouble, are you rocking the GR flexidisc this morning for "Benny"? If so, could you let the Biz Bonus Beats on the flexi play out as well?
	9:38am PKNY: Also, I'm so glad I got to see Biz and Beasties do "Benny" live at MSG in '98. RIP Yauch
	9:39am Outside over there ...: When poppa was away at sea, and momma in the arbor, Ida played her wonder horn ...
	9:40am Domenic and Kissy Fur: good morning Rigaboppers.
	9:43am Lewis: wrt the RI mansion: "Its bigger on the inside."
	9:46am pierre: Oui ça va. Well thanks, i hope the new guy will do interesting stuff. He seems like a honest person, but we'll see. In politics i've realise that skepticism, is a good way to look at things. It can't be worst than the last one anyway.
	9:46am triish: Good morning. Sad to lose Sendak. Here's a quote I love from him in 2parts: “Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it.
	9:47am triish: ..I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.” - Maurice Sendak
	9:49am Cecile: I love the guardians and their fierce, fat little dog. HAHAHAHAHA.
	9:50am Cecile: aw, sorry to hear about Sendak. He was amazing.
	♥ 9:52am trouble: trish that was a great aneccdote!
	9:55am Jennique: I didn't know Maurice Sendak was gone till I read it here. He was the speaker at my RISD commencement and gave a wonderful talk about making art for all the right reasons, to fight the good fight and to really say something with your work. I am still reeling over MCA being gone. I need to go lay down.
	9:57am Marmalade kitty: morning Trouble! I also congratulate the first socialist premier since Mitterand in 80's!!!
	9:58am still b/p: Tombstone could say rest in peace or rumpus in perpetuity. Either's a good send-off wish.
	9:59am Cecile: For the threes, sadly great football Hall of Famer Junior Seau succumbed to depression and took his own life. His family is donating his body to science to study post-concussion syndrome. Very sad, he was a cool guy.
	10:05am Cecile: I enjoy football, but something just has to give.
	10:07am Cecile: hahhahahahha. I am nine. still looking at that fat little dog-pig in the picture. Rawr.
	10:10am Van in DC: Thanks for this tune trouble!
	10:11am allan: A bunch of people you’ll never meet will die every day. Just because you recognize the names of these few strangers is irrelevant. go kiss your barista.
	10:11am Marmalade kitty: miniture elephant dog?
	10:12am allan: sort of bitter today apologies. good songs
	10:13am dc pat: "Paul Weller Movement" eh?
	10:14am BSI: mushy peas!
	10:14am minature elephant dog: yes Marmalade kitty, what did you want?
	10:15am Cecile: Allan, a stranger is a friend you haven't met yet. :D
	10:15am Patrick: trouble this is a little more funky then i would expect this "early", but i love it none the less. did the spring nurses sale happen yet? also did you see that Duke Gardens if reopening its gates this month.
	10:15am clyde stubblefield: how do i not know of the Paul Weller movement- nice work Touble- sounds like Maceo,Peewee and Fred on that track- very Donald Byrd
	♥ 10:16am trouble: i aim to please van. but allan, you are correct in your pithy words and sentiment: love the ones you're with!
	10:16am Cecile: miniature elephant dog, you look fierce, but I bet assassins are always breaking into the places you are guarding because they are tricking you with sweet rice cakes and little dumplings.
	10:17am Marmalade kitty: @med, have you met the giant dog elephant yet?
	♥ 10:18am trouble: hey patrick, yes we hit the vna this weekend past. icepack made a killing on books and lego, me not so much, but it was fun. coffee shakes afterward at the pharmacy soda fountain. we almost hit duke farm, but no time. it has been open all along, we have been several times since the green houses closed, all great
	10:18am minature elephant dog: @MK That's your first wish? You only have 2 left now.
	10:19am Jennique: Cecile, owning a mini elephant dog myself, I can tell you size is no issue. She's quite a demon in her own right and can only be placated by boiled chicken with peas or banana pudding.
	10:19am Cecile: who wants his tummy rubbed? who? dangles shrimp dumpling over dog's head.
	10:20am minature elephant dog: mmm dumpings and rice cakes
	10:20am Cecile: hahahha, yes jennique you have a Beantown Warrior Dog (aka a Boston Terrier.)
	♥ 10:21am trouble: good morning jennique! did you bring a fainting couch to work so you can lie down? you can bring that sort of thing on my new hudson barge service
	10:21am Cecile: just let the nice man slip into the vault over there, and you can have the whole steamer full of these dumplings!
	10:22am Cecile: I'll just leave them right here...I gotta go get some coffee.
	10:22am Patrick: ahhh i remember that pharmacy, glad to know it still exists. glad dj icepack scored with some legos, perhaps some day ill make it to another nurses sale.
	10:23am Jennique: Cap'n Trouble, you are quite accommodating! Yes I do require a chaise lounge for my "fits" as it were. Can you swing by the Little Red Lighthouse on your way down to Jersey City?
	10:24am Jennique: Wait, are you talking about the Farmacy soda fountain in Brooklyn? LUV IT.
	♥ 10:27am trouble: no jennique. patrick and i are pining for a soda fountain in far hills nj, horse country.
	10:37am Jennique: Jeffrey Eugenides just came out with a new book called The Marriage Plot, of which I am number 237 on my library's waiting list. Really enjoyed reading Middlesex.
	♥ 10:39am trouble: one of the benefits of reading the last book published, no waiting list! next on my jeffrey list is virgin suicides, OG eugenides.
	10:42am Capo Strano: One of the things I like to do, Trouble, to overcome withdrawals from enthralling novels, is to play a video game. I don't know what the policy in your home may be vis a vis dj Icepack. Over here, dj Kungfuflashkid is going on 7 and, having mastered Monkey Quest, he is delving into some massively multiplayer National Geographic playland.
	10:43am northguineahills: Haven't heard this Riley before.
	10:43am Capo Strano: On my phone, I play a game called Drop7
	♥ 10:45am trouble: the last few minutes have been heavily mixed NGH, now you are almost hearing just the terry riley piece
	10:47am herb: i been listening for the past 3,4 minutes but as i need to do some work, i'm going to the archives of PROF. DUM DUM. excuse me, DJ TROUBLE. take care.
	♥ 10:47am trouble: capo strano, i HATE good book withdrawal. i feel all lost and of no purpose. am not a huge video game fan, just doesn"t thrill me, but perhaps a national geographic video game might... am plunging into a new book tonite, ghosts of the past fiction be damned
	10:50am Capo Strano: I try and leave layers of book overlap so as to avoid withdrawal, and consequently fall way behind in my gameplay, but I find they do make all kinds of good games these days. They are almost as good as Pong.
	10:52am northguineahills: Really enjoying this mix, Trouble.
	10:54am still b/p: Poor Babe's voice sounds like it's coming out of one of those tomb guardians.
	10:57am dc pat: great stuff trouble.
	11:01am peter: Your playlist image is going to inspire my lesson plan for today with middle schoolers in ceramics: Monsters and Mythical Creatures! thanks Trouble!
	11:02am Cecile: ah, good coffee good conversation. Peter, dang, I would have loved to have your class!
	11:07am Jennique: Trouble, you know what is crazy? I am actually working on a Tibetah thangka right now at work. The Asian ethnographic hall at the museum is up for renovation and I working on a display screen for the Tibetan area. Shout out to MCA! He is in the ether.
	11:07am PKNY: MCA, rock rock on.
	11:09am dc pat: that's the perfect BB tune to play, forgot about that one.
	11:10am David: This girl's voice (THEESatisfaction) sounds familiar........did she guest on a Shabazz Palaces track?
	♥ 11:13am trouble: yes david they did guest with shabazz palaces. i had them on live and have been playing the hell out of this fab release.
	11:13am Capo Strano: For books, it's most generally in a Balzac-to-Borges-to-Letham vein and, for games, I recommend anything designed by Tim Schafer, Will Wright, or Jonathan Blow. For music, I find DJ Trouble puts together everything I enjoy into a transcendent blend.
	♥ 11:14am trouble: jennique, i see all....peter excellent choice! the art teacher/artist in me works overtime, even when i am wearing my dj hat
	11:18am still b/p: I'm amazed at how detailed or large ceramics survived through centuries. Looking recently at big Mayan funerary urns with plenty of surface features/figures/ornament recently, I wanted more info posted on exactly how they were found/retrieved and why they weren't more damaged or just fragments.
	11:20am dc pat: at the Sackler Gallery here in dc, there are 2 giant wooden guardians I think from Japan. They're amazing. Great museum.
	11:22am paula pc: NEVER get tired of Wurlitzer Jukebox...thanks for such a great show today, Trouble! those temple guards are wonderful!!!
	11:22am last.fm/user/johnnykevlar: Oh cool, my friend's mom is the vocalist in YMG.
	11:22am pgw in mnctlr: quite often when i was at rutgers, i'd blow off class and go to the record exchange
	11:23am Brian in UK: Afternoon trouble, just been to osteopath with back niggle. I'm up for visit what time does it shut? How tall are these guardians?
	11:30am dc pat: crap Maurice Sendak died.
	♥ 11:31am trouble: hey there brian, the back doc closes just before you can get there. the guardians are about 24-30" perhaps...thanks to you paula, and merci to all for the good words today.
	11:32am Patrick: trouble what label is this Joni Haastrup track on? or is this off a comp?
	♥ 11:33am trouble: here's the link to the facebook page, where i posted a live biz markie Beastie Boys clip
	♥ 11:33am trouble: ooops !www.facebook.com...
	11:36am Van in DC: Dang it. Every time I step away for a little bit from an FMU show it seems I miss Sharon Van Etten.
	11:37am last.fm/user/johnnykevlar: Can you recommend me more stuff like this?
	♥ 11:40am trouble: just put up a joni haastrup vid on the facebook page patrick. tummy touch/soundway, not a comp to answer your question
	11:41am Patrick: thanks for the info! just found it of all places on eMusic.
	♥ 11:41am trouble: last fm johnny, more stuff like what?
	11:41am Jennique: @still b/p: here's a nice link from my workplace. http://anthro.amnh.org/central
	11:42am maja: really love the show, and the comments and the book titles and links, chinese spanking creatures and you, all. thank you!
	11:43am Cecile: eMusic surprises me a lot - usually pleasantly.
	11:44am last.fm/user/johnnykevlar: Velocette
	11:46am still b/p: Thanks, Jennique!
	11:46am dc pat: NO WAY! Brass Monkey? ALRIGHT!
	11:48am Jennique: I'd love to give a thesis on MCA. Compare and contrast the "illness" in Licensed to Ill to Ill Communication.
	11:49am Mike East: This is my favorite T Rex song. Awesome!
	♥ 11:50am trouble: velocette: perhaps comet gain, pastels...off the top of my head
	♥ 11:50am trouble: hey mike east!
	11:53am Mike East: Hey trouble. Those statues are pretty great. Thanks for sharing. I don't think I'll be able to get down to Princeton to see in person.
	11:53am Mike East: anyone know where I can get some black band fronts? I'm one short for an order, and might be screwed.
	11:54am Jennique: Gotta motor. Thanks for another great show Cap'n Trouble!
	11:55am dc pat: adios radios.
	♥ 11:56am trouble: ciao jenn, and lovelies
	11:58am last.fm/user/johnnykevlar: Thanks, I love the Pastels, haven't heard Comet Gain, though. Going to check them out.
	11:58am Van in DC: Thanks trouble - enjoyed it!
	11:59am Mike East: Does artisanal cotton candy exist? My wife has a craving for Pina Colada cotton candy.
	12:05pm Kayt: Oi trouble! On-Gee-Na by Ho-Za-Lia Gee So-Za obrigada teu email! vou te voltar a escrever ainda hoje.

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.

	10:20am minature elephant dog: mmm dumpings and rice cakes
	10:20am Cecile: hahahha, yes jennique you have a Beantown Warrior Dog (aka a Boston Terrier.)
	♥ 10:21am trouble: good morning jennique! did you bring a fainting couch to work so you can lie down? you can bring that sort of thing on my new hudson barge service
	10:21am Cecile: just let the nice man slip into the vault over there, and you can have the whole steamer full of these dumplings!
	10:22am Cecile: I'll just leave them right here...I gotta go get some coffee.
	10:22am Patrick: ahhh i remember that pharmacy, glad to know it still exists. glad dj icepack scored with some legos, perhaps some day ill make it to another nurses sale.
	10:23am Jennique: Cap'n Trouble, you are quite accommodating! Yes I do require a chaise lounge for my "fits" as it were. Can you swing by the Little Red Lighthouse on your way down to Jersey City?
	10:24am Jennique: Wait, are you talking about the Farmacy soda fountain in Brooklyn? LUV IT.
	♥ 10:27am trouble: no jennique. patrick and i are pining for a soda fountain in far hills nj, horse country.
	10:37am Jennique: Jeffrey Eugenides just came out with a new book called The Marriage Plot, of which I am number 237 on my library's waiting list. Really enjoyed reading Middlesex.
	♥ 10:39am trouble: one of the benefits of reading the last book published, no waiting list! next on my jeffrey list is virgin suicides, OG eugenides.
	10:42am Capo Strano: One of the things I like to do, Trouble, to overcome withdrawals from enthralling novels, is to play a video game. I don't know what the policy in your home may be vis a vis dj Icepack. Over here, dj Kungfuflashkid is going on 7 and, having mastered Monkey Quest, he is delving into some massively multiplayer National Geographic playland.
	10:43am northguineahills: Haven't heard this Riley before.
	10:43am Capo Strano: On my phone, I play a game called Drop7
	♥ 10:45am trouble: the last few minutes have been heavily mixed NGH, now you are almost hearing just the terry riley piece
	10:47am herb: i been listening for the past 3,4 minutes but as i need to do some work, i'm going to the archives of PROF. DUM DUM. excuse me, DJ TROUBLE. take care.
	♥ 10:47am trouble: capo strano, i HATE good book withdrawal. i feel all lost and of no purpose. am not a huge video game fan, just doesn"t thrill me, but perhaps a national geographic video game might... am plunging into a new book tonite, ghosts of the past fiction be damned
	10:50am Capo Strano: I try and leave layers of book overlap so as to avoid withdrawal, and consequently fall way behind in my gameplay, but I find they do make all kinds of good games these days. They are almost as good as Pong.
	10:52am northguineahills: Really enjoying this mix, Trouble.
	10:54am still b/p: Poor Babe's voice sounds like it's coming out of one of those tomb guardians.
	10:57am dc pat: great stuff trouble.
	11:01am peter: Your playlist image is going to inspire my lesson plan for today with middle schoolers in ceramics: Monsters and Mythical Creatures! thanks Trouble!
	11:02am Cecile: ah, good coffee good conversation. Peter, dang, I would have loved to have your class!
	11:07am Jennique: Trouble, you know what is crazy? I am actually working on a Tibetah thangka right now at work. The Asian ethnographic hall at the museum is up for renovation and I working on a display screen for the Tibetan area. Shout out to MCA! He is in the ether.
	11:07am PKNY: MCA, rock rock on.
	11:09am dc pat: that's the perfect BB tune to play, forgot about that one.
	11:10am David: This girl's voice (THEESatisfaction) sounds familiar........did she guest on a Shabazz Palaces track?
	♥ 11:13am trouble: yes david they did guest with shabazz palaces. i had them on live and have been playing the hell out of this fab release.
	11:13am Capo Strano: For books, it's most generally in a Balzac-to-Borges-to-Letham vein and, for games, I recommend anything designed by Tim Schafer, Will Wright, or Jonathan Blow. For music, I find DJ Trouble puts together everything I enjoy into a transcendent blend.
	♥ 11:14am trouble: jennique, i see all....peter excellent choice! the art teacher/artist in me works overtime, even when i am wearing my dj hat
	11:18am still b/p: I'm amazed at how detailed or large ceramics survived through centuries. Looking recently at big Mayan funerary urns with plenty of surface features/figures/ornament recently, I wanted more info posted on exactly how they were found/retrieved and why they weren't more damaged or just fragments.
	11:20am dc pat: at the Sackler Gallery here in dc, there are 2 giant wooden guardians I think from Japan. They're amazing. Great museum.
	11:22am paula pc: NEVER get tired of Wurlitzer Jukebox...thanks for such a great show today, Trouble! those temple guards are wonderful!!!
	11:22am last.fm/user/johnnykevlar: Oh cool, my friend's mom is the vocalist in YMG.
	11:22am pgw in mnctlr: quite often when i was at rutgers, i'd blow off class and go to the record exchange
	11:23am Brian in UK: Afternoon trouble, just been to osteopath with back niggle. I'm up for visit what time does it shut? How tall are these guardians?
	11:30am dc pat: crap Maurice Sendak died.
	♥ 11:31am trouble: hey there brian, the back doc closes just before you can get there. the guardians are about 24-30" perhaps...thanks to you paula, and merci to all for the good words today.
	11:32am Patrick: trouble what label is this Joni Haastrup track on? or is this off a comp?
	♥ 11:33am trouble: here's the link to the facebook page, where i posted a live biz markie Beastie Boys clip
	♥ 11:33am trouble: ooops !www.facebook.com...
	11:36am Van in DC: Dang it. Every time I step away for a little bit from an FMU show it seems I miss Sharon Van Etten.
	11:37am last.fm/user/johnnykevlar: Can you recommend me more stuff like this?
	♥ 11:40am trouble: just put up a joni haastrup vid on the facebook page patrick. tummy touch/soundway, not a comp to answer your question
	11:41am Patrick: thanks for the info! just found it of all places on eMusic.
	♥ 11:41am trouble: last fm johnny, more stuff like what?
	11:41am Jennique: @still b/p: here's a nice link from my workplace. http://anthro.amnh.org/central
	11:42am maja: really love the show, and the comments and the book titles and links, chinese spanking creatures and you, all. thank you!
	11:43am Cecile: eMusic surprises me a lot - usually pleasantly.
	11:44am last.fm/user/johnnykevlar: Velocette
	11:46am still b/p: Thanks, Jennique!
	11:46am dc pat: NO WAY! Brass Monkey? ALRIGHT!
	11:48am Jennique: I'd love to give a thesis on MCA. Compare and contrast the "illness" in Licensed to Ill to Ill Communication.
	11:49am Mike East: This is my favorite T Rex song. Awesome!
	♥ 11:50am trouble: velocette: perhaps comet gain, pastels...off the top of my head
	♥ 11:50am trouble: hey mike east!
	11:53am Mike East: Hey trouble. Those statues are pretty great. Thanks for sharing. I don't think I'll be able to get down to Princeton to see in person.
	11:53am Mike East: anyone know where I can get some black band fronts? I'm one short for an order, and might be screwed.
	11:54am Jennique: Gotta motor. Thanks for another great show Cap'n Trouble!
	11:55am dc pat: adios radios.
	♥ 11:56am trouble: ciao jenn, and lovelies
	11:58am last.fm/user/johnnykevlar: Thanks, I love the Pastels, haven't heard Comet Gain, though. Going to check them out.
	11:58am Van in DC: Thanks trouble - enjoyed it!
	11:59am Mike East: Does artisanal cotton candy exist? My wife has a craving for Pina Colada cotton candy.
