	9:06am Andrew Waterloo: Alright! Bring it Billy Paul!
	9:07am Lucas: Very nice song Trouble. Hi
	9:08am ffrr: Good morning Trouble, glad you're back. Michel Legrand classic to start, nice version.
	9:09am v k: giddie-up
	9:14am Brian in UK: Hello trouble & listeners. Does you programme title have any significance?
	♥ 9:15am trouble: howdy and well yes it does brian in uk, can you imagine? and hey do all!
	9:16am v k: parts of this Anton Batagov intro sounds like into to Radiohead's 'Up on the Ladder' (In Rainbows Disc 2) - unmistakably so
	9:19am annie: what a great way to start a show
	♥ 9:20am trouble: i love this but fear i am letting it go on too long...
	9:22am Big B.: The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one.
	9:23am john: excellent show ... so far (heh)
	9:24am Parq: That Betagov piece was incredibly lovely. I would have been fine with it going on for another half hour
	9:25am annie: i as well, parq
	9:27am Brian in UK: Well done, trouble.
	9:28am Parq: So, I'm guessing that there are 35 of these cycles and that this is a memorial piece. Yeh?
	♥ 9:29am trouble: than you kind listeners for reminding me what my job is here.
	9:30am Priscilla: Are your chickens just for eggs, or will you eat them eventually? Or is that awful to say? Are they like pets?
	9:31am wunderful: be at peace with we all
	9:31am v k: recalling memories of my (wasted?) jam band listening days: song X --> song Y --> song X; my first instance of hearing such a pattern on fmu
	9:31am listener mark: good morning this is very peaceful and I'm wearing a robe, so I'm bowing, slightly
	9:33am listener mark: fear is falling without a parachute happiness is knowing there is no ground
	9:34am annie: right on mark... right on!
	♥ 9:35am trouble: good morning mark, thank you for bowing! priscilla the chickens are for eggs, they are layers, not meat hens.
	9:36am wunderful: the mind is like a parachute it doesnt work unless its open
	9:37am Mike East: Good morning, trouble and all
	♥ 9:39am trouble: hey mike east!
	9:41am Brian in UK: Priscilla, eating chooks are in the abatoir before they reach six months. It is amazing how many people will ask trouble if she has a rooster to make the eggs.
	9:46am wunderful: how about thunday thensday triday thataday
	♥ 9:46am trouble: www.facebook.com...
	9:46am Nathan: But you'll soon be an eggspert..
	9:46am Brian in UK: What no Pamela?
	9:51am Cecile: Morning, all!
	9:53am annie: cecile!!!!
	9:53am Cecile: awesome. H&O. Worst music video ever, but good song. Trouble, if you are collecting versions of "Windmill" Dusty Springfield does a killer version.
	9:53am Cecile: how's it going, annie?
	9:54am dale: morning all. oohhhh, hall & oates, and not in an ironic way!
	9:54am Vivian: Trouble, what line of chickens did you get? I plan to get layers myself but haven't looked into the different breeds. Right now looking into plans to build a coop.
	9:55am Cecile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s22ufU-67iM
	9:55am annie: pretty well actually..... plugging along and staying content..you??
	9:56am Cecile: same here, getting ready to go on a trip to the U.P. Coming back to community college orientation. Yikes.
	9:57am annie: wow!! all grown up now, huh?
	9:58am Brian in UK: Dare I say, first two Hall & Oates are first class. Inner sleeve of silver album is true embarassment.
	9:58am Cecile: I haven't attended a college orientation since 1984.
	9:58am Shana: good morning trouble and all!
	9:59am Cecile: Brian, it set off rumors for years!
	♥ 10:00am trouble: vivian i got a hybrid mix of a rock barre, RI red and a third that i forgot. went to a chix workshop at a farmer's place in sussex county and he breeds them for docility, cold hardiness and good laying. if you are local_ish i can give you his name.
	10:00am Cecile: Oh, in movie recommendations, I can recommend Madagascar 3. It is kind of insane and very entertaining.
	10:00am ffrr: The Douglas's note-reading hen, Alice, on 'Green Acres could lay eggs on request.
	10:01am Cecile: ffrr, she is the basis for the Hooterville Literate Pez-dispenser Breed we all know and love.
	10:01am listener mark: @ffrr Only when Mrs. Douglas asked her.
	10:02am dale: brian, i have mike oldfield's five miles out, and hall & oates version of family man is twenty times better.
	10:03am Cecile: There is a literate adult (not smutty) joke in there that made me "squee". And they made it funny on a bunch of levels. Then again, Noah Baumbach co-wrote the script.
	10:04am wunderful: FFrr i knew a lady that could do the same thing in the 70s
	10:04am Vivian: Thanks Trouble, but I'm on the lower end of the eastern seaboard! I'll definitely check the Modern World facebook page to read about your chicken experience.
	10:05am still b/p: Adult Ed. video earns...due recognition: http://tinyurl.com/7rkqq3y
	10:05am Mike East: I saw Moonrise Kingdom last weekend and thought it was pretty great.
	10:05am Brian in UK: dale, Daryl Hall singing 'Laughing Boy' live in 1977 I think, was sublime, what a voice. I kind of lost them over the years, never quite understood the distain that they engendered.
	10:07am hazmania: RIP Frank Cady (Mr. Drucker.) First Alvy Moore (Mr. Kimball), now him. Is there anyone from Green Acres left?
	10:08am Cecile: H&O were always the top 40 group it was OK for hip kids to like in our neck of the woods. They were close enough to soul and their Todd Rundgren ties didn't hurt, either.
	♥ 10:08am trouble: vivian if you are southern then look into farmers in your area and see what they raise, i understand it's best to get a bird who can handle your climate, then you wont stress them out. And we all know what happens when you stress out a bird (at least my neighbors do when my husband startled ginger in the nest box @ 6:30 this morning and she let out such a series of cackles! yikes
	♥ 10:08am trouble: me too mike east! we loved it.
	10:09am Cecile: Is it as good as Rushmore or The Fantastic Mr. Fox? I love those movies and can't get past them.
	10:10am Brian in UK: You know when one has laid an egg, from the racket. RI Reds are good producers that's why the battery people used them crossed.
	10:10am Cecile: not to mention H&O's brief alliance with Robert Fripp.
	10:11am Brian in UK: Cecile, I used to have Sacred Songs, now where is it?
	10:12am Mike East: @Cecile - not as good as Rushmore (imho), better than Fantastic Mr. Fox - which is pretty low on the Wes Anderson scale, for me. I think because I didn't read it as a kid, so it didn't feel as precious.
	10:12am Cecile: Check with all your exes. Then, under the dresser.
	10:13am Cecile: Is it better than Bottle Rocket? (which is about 1/2 of a good movie.)
	10:13am Brian in UK: I do all my own dressing, dear!!
	10:13am dale: eva gabor still making flapjacks somewhere. don't know about ebb. pretty sure arnold the pig passed a long time ago.
	10:14am Cecile: Eva passed. Poor Merv Griffin was never the same.
	10:15am Mike East: @Cecile - yes and no. It has 0 Wilsons in it
	10:15am dale: did she? i guess it's zsa zsa i'm think of.
	10:16am Cecile: Yeha, Zsa Zsa is still barely alive and still causing trouble.
	10:16am hazmania: Anybody heard the Bird And The Bee album of Hall and Oates cover songs? I dig it, actually like their versions of the later, cheesy H&O.
	10:17am still b/p: Ralph the carpenter lives!
	10:17am annie: i actually liked bottle rocket, then quickly got tired of the sad-sack characterization of owen's roles
	10:17am Cecile: I think Chromeo burn incense and chant to them every AM.
	10:18am Andrew: Why did the farmer open a punk rock club? He was tired of haulin' oats. Ha.
	10:18am Cecile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gCU5uplB4A
	10:18am jbk: Who's sculpture is that on the playlist page?
	10:19am wunderful: throw moma from the train owen rules
	10:19am hazmania: Too bad Hall and Oates never sang a cover of the Green Acres theme song. Then we could tie this all together. lol
	10:19am Cecile: I actually liked Owen. He was kind of spazzy energy in a really kind of static energy.
	10:19am ffrr: They were 'hotcakes', Dale. Vic Mizzy did quite a job on that show, as well as on the Addam's Family.
	10:20am dale: i was surprised when i read that daryll hall's solo album was to be the third half of the fripp/gabriel/? trilogy
	10:21am annie: what subtle and clever humor they had, those two shows
	10:21am Jennique: Morning Trouble. I hope that you have heard Nicki Bluhm's cover of "I Can't Go for That" sung while driving in a van. I have it on high rotation on my iPod.
	10:23am Vivian: Thanks Trouble. Just curious about the breeds you selected. Actually, I follow a facebook page for city coops and gardeners -but haven't asked about breeds as of yet. Too busy moving from one house to another. Once the move is completed, then I can proceed with coop building.
	10:24am dale: pretty sure those writers were taking acid, it was so out there. first few beverly hillbillies were the same way. i remember hank the county agent showing mr. douglas through a microscope that he had corn borers, and the visual was a girl in a bikini on a giant ear of corn.
	10:24am will: Hunky guy in the Lounge Lizards....I thought you were going to say Arto Lindsay. Just put "Offshore" in my library queue, thanks for the tip...WJ
	♥ 10:26am trouble: o good jennique you are still in town, we should make sure we have each other's cell. i will write you later.
	♥ 10:27am trouble: will i think arto is fab, but perhaps not so hunky. if youy love offshore read all the penelope fitzgerald, haven't been disappointed by one.
	10:27am annie: i grew up in a quirky household to begin with, and those early teevee shows solidified my off-the-wall sense of humour, something which only the superior really get
	♥ 10:28am trouble: today's artist is tamara zahaykevich. a wfmu listener!
	10:30am Lewis: ay recommendations for recordings by lounge lizards beyond "voice of chunk"? (the travelogue series (Fishing with John) that John Laurie did with people like Dennis Hopper and Tom Waits is pretty entertaining)
	10:31am Mike East: Has anyone heard of an artist called Mr. Imagination or Gregory Warmack?
	10:32am Mike East: He died two weeks ago.
	10:32am still b/p: I remember Tom enjoyed hollering, "Are they biting?" to others on the water when he was Fishing With John.
	10:33am Priscilla: waiting for godot in Italian with a german accent — too much
	10:34am Jennique: I enjoyed Fishing With John and thought the Tom Waits segment was one of the best, especially when he put a just caught fish in his pants.
	10:35am Priscilla: Also too much: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/spinning/2012/jun/10/ I'm proselytizing for this mashup of Nick Drake & Elizabethan music
	10:37am still b/p: Mullet Variations.
	♥ 10:38am trouble: j'adore the fishing with john, he really is a giant pain in the ass!
	10:39am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble and listeners. Sorry for arriving fashionably late. The Hall & Oates talk reminds me of this great sketch from the UK TV show Big Train, written by Graham Linehan, who also co-wrote Father Ted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh5f-_I1df4
	10:39am Braveness23: Any show that had Tom Waits putting a fish in his pants is OK with me
	10:40am seang: and then there's Marvin Pontiac
	10:41am Lewis: @still b/p - well played!!
	♥ 10:41am trouble: hello adrian, no worries. i know you are busy getting ready for the olympics, practicing your shotput and butterfly stroke. i can't wait to get off air and watch that sketch. love that man to bits, GL
	10:42am Priscilla: I remember Spongebob fishing with John: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzvpbMa-75k
	10:43am Lewis: @Priscilla - also well played!!
	10:44am abbyinfrance: hello trouble, what a nice show today. i once dropped an egg on a chicken and the other chickens, like, attacked it. thank the lord for baby wipes! andrew that was funny.
	10:46am Cecile: Adrian, that was hysterical.
	10:46am still b/p: Lurie's had a tough decade...Lyme disease and personal disputes. Apparently can't do much in the way of film or music anymore.
	10:48am Brian in UK: Hey trouble it's amazing what a 50 cent album can start.
	10:48am still b/p: ..but still making art. http://www.johnlurieart.com/art/
	10:48am Jennique: Great New Yorker article on John Lurie: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/08/16/100816fa_fact_friend
	♥ 10:49am trouble: hey abbey! merci bien. LEwis, there aren't a lot of lounge lizards recordings out there. i have them all and love them equally.
	10:49am Cecile: Jennique, that article is fantastic. It's pretty epic.
	10:49am Lewis: too bad about Lurie - he is associated in my mind with a lot of high quality and off the main track stuff... I wish him the best.
	♥ 10:49am trouble: i know that tale still b/p, sad.
	10:50am Cheri Pi: Joe Bataan always pulls me out of a slump-Hello WFMU! The Pi is back.
	10:50am Lewis: thanks Trouble - i will search and acquire
	♥ 10:50am trouble: they were one of the best live bands i have ever seen.
	10:52am Cheri Pi: Yes-all JB should be reissued!!!
	10:52am Cecile: Cheri!
	10:54am Cheri Pi: Cecile-Baby!
	10:54am 300: SPARTA!
	10:54am Cheri Pi: haahaahaa
	♥ 10:55am trouble: howdy cheri-pi!
	10:55am Cheri Pi: When that movie came out the font was so bad I thought it was called "Zoo" for the longest time.
	10:56am Cecile: Cheri: Diane played this last week. I was on the floor: Carach Angren The Funerary Dirge of A Violinist You have to check it out. There was a spoken aside that just killed me: "I am so sick of this war."
	10:56am Cheri Pi: I got the cutest Yayoi Kusama book on my travels and it comes w/ a cute figurine!! http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOBK-1244606
	10:57am Cheri Pi: Oh do tell Cecile-I'm in those Archives!!! Can't wait to hear it.
	10:57am lane: i'm such an idiot, i've been commenting on an archive page!... great show!
	11:00am carol: and Howlin' Wolf 300 lbs of Joy..Tom Jones sang it as 200 pounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ2UadHc_Qg
	11:03am Cecile: this is great. It sounds like the Kashmere Show Band playing Bo Diddley.
	11:03am lane: love the BIG rythem... rhythem how do u spell that?
	11:05am Priscilla: Isn't rhythm the only word where the Y counts as a vowel?
	11:06am Cecile: there's byte, rye, try...
	11:06am Cecile: There's cry, thy, sly
	♥ 11:07am trouble: ooooh i am jealous, cheri pi. that yayoi book looks wild! HI lane!
	11:07am Mike East: dystopia
	11:08am Priscilla: Oh right! "Rhythm" is still much weirder than "try".
	11:08am Cecile: szyzygy
	11:10am Parq: Pi, did you have your Japan trip? I thought that was later in the year. Looking forward to details and photos.
	11:11am Cecile: syzygy, I got carried away with the zs.
	11:12am don: loving this one
	11:12am Cheri Pi: Yes Parq I got back Sat. pm and I still have jet lag!! Left my camera on the plane so hopefully I can get that back and p ost picks soon. trip was fantastic!I missed WFMU so much!!
	11:14am Syracuse: This show is saving my entire workday.
	11:15am carol: Yayoi Kusama soon at The Whitney : http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/FirefliesOnTheWater

	11:21am peter: Woo hoo teaching my last class today and Modern World streaming!
	11:22am paula pc: that was veryvery nice and so is this!!!
	11:23am Brian in UK: Priscilla, I think in Welsh 'y' is a vowel, fwiw.
	11:24am Jennique: Glad the background chatter on We're A Happy Family is in Japanese.
	11:25am hamburger: :o <- wow face

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.

	9:31am listener mark: good morning this is very peaceful and I'm wearing a robe, so I'm bowing, slightly
	9:33am listener mark: fear is falling without a parachute happiness is knowing there is no ground
	9:34am annie: right on mark... right on!
	♥ 9:35am trouble: good morning mark, thank you for bowing! priscilla the chickens are for eggs, they are layers, not meat hens.
	9:36am wunderful: the mind is like a parachute it doesnt work unless its open
	9:37am Mike East: Good morning, trouble and all
	♥ 9:39am trouble: hey mike east!
	9:41am Brian in UK: Priscilla, eating chooks are in the abatoir before they reach six months. It is amazing how many people will ask trouble if she has a rooster to make the eggs.
	9:46am wunderful: how about thunday thensday triday thataday
	♥ 9:46am trouble: www.facebook.com...
	9:46am Nathan: But you'll soon be an eggspert..
	9:46am Brian in UK: What no Pamela?
	9:51am Cecile: Morning, all!
	9:53am annie: cecile!!!!
	9:53am Cecile: awesome. H&O. Worst music video ever, but good song. Trouble, if you are collecting versions of "Windmill" Dusty Springfield does a killer version.
	9:53am Cecile: how's it going, annie?
	9:54am dale: morning all. oohhhh, hall & oates, and not in an ironic way!
	9:54am Vivian: Trouble, what line of chickens did you get? I plan to get layers myself but haven't looked into the different breeds. Right now looking into plans to build a coop.
	9:55am Cecile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s22ufU-67iM
	9:55am annie: pretty well actually..... plugging along and staying content..you??
	9:56am Cecile: same here, getting ready to go on a trip to the U.P. Coming back to community college orientation. Yikes.
	9:57am annie: wow!! all grown up now, huh?
	9:58am Brian in UK: Dare I say, first two Hall & Oates are first class. Inner sleeve of silver album is true embarassment.
	9:58am Cecile: I haven't attended a college orientation since 1984.
	9:58am Shana: good morning trouble and all!
	9:59am Cecile: Brian, it set off rumors for years!
	♥ 10:00am trouble: vivian i got a hybrid mix of a rock barre, RI red and a third that i forgot. went to a chix workshop at a farmer's place in sussex county and he breeds them for docility, cold hardiness and good laying. if you are local_ish i can give you his name.
	10:00am Cecile: Oh, in movie recommendations, I can recommend Madagascar 3. It is kind of insane and very entertaining.
	10:00am ffrr: The Douglas's note-reading hen, Alice, on 'Green Acres could lay eggs on request.
	10:01am Cecile: ffrr, she is the basis for the Hooterville Literate Pez-dispenser Breed we all know and love.
	10:01am listener mark: @ffrr Only when Mrs. Douglas asked her.
	10:02am dale: brian, i have mike oldfield's five miles out, and hall & oates version of family man is twenty times better.
	10:03am Cecile: There is a literate adult (not smutty) joke in there that made me "squee". And they made it funny on a bunch of levels. Then again, Noah Baumbach co-wrote the script.
	10:04am wunderful: FFrr i knew a lady that could do the same thing in the 70s
	10:04am Vivian: Thanks Trouble, but I'm on the lower end of the eastern seaboard! I'll definitely check the Modern World facebook page to read about your chicken experience.
	10:05am still b/p: Adult Ed. video earns...due recognition: http://tinyurl.com/7rkqq3y
	10:05am Mike East: I saw Moonrise Kingdom last weekend and thought it was pretty great.
	10:05am Brian in UK: dale, Daryl Hall singing 'Laughing Boy' live in 1977 I think, was sublime, what a voice. I kind of lost them over the years, never quite understood the distain that they engendered.
	10:07am hazmania: RIP Frank Cady (Mr. Drucker.) First Alvy Moore (Mr. Kimball), now him. Is there anyone from Green Acres left?
	10:08am Cecile: H&O were always the top 40 group it was OK for hip kids to like in our neck of the woods. They were close enough to soul and their Todd Rundgren ties didn't hurt, either.
	♥ 10:08am trouble: vivian if you are southern then look into farmers in your area and see what they raise, i understand it's best to get a bird who can handle your climate, then you wont stress them out. And we all know what happens when you stress out a bird (at least my neighbors do when my husband startled ginger in the nest box @ 6:30 this morning and she let out such a series of cackles! yikes
	♥ 10:08am trouble: me too mike east! we loved it.
	10:09am Cecile: Is it as good as Rushmore or The Fantastic Mr. Fox? I love those movies and can't get past them.
	10:10am Brian in UK: You know when one has laid an egg, from the racket. RI Reds are good producers that's why the battery people used them crossed.
	10:10am Cecile: not to mention H&O's brief alliance with Robert Fripp.
	10:11am Brian in UK: Cecile, I used to have Sacred Songs, now where is it?
	10:12am Mike East: @Cecile - not as good as Rushmore (imho), better than Fantastic Mr. Fox - which is pretty low on the Wes Anderson scale, for me. I think because I didn't read it as a kid, so it didn't feel as precious.
	10:12am Cecile: Check with all your exes. Then, under the dresser.
	10:13am Cecile: Is it better than Bottle Rocket? (which is about 1/2 of a good movie.)
	10:13am Brian in UK: I do all my own dressing, dear!!
	10:13am dale: eva gabor still making flapjacks somewhere. don't know about ebb. pretty sure arnold the pig passed a long time ago.
	10:14am Cecile: Eva passed. Poor Merv Griffin was never the same.
	10:15am Mike East: @Cecile - yes and no. It has 0 Wilsons in it
	10:15am dale: did she? i guess it's zsa zsa i'm think of.
	10:16am Cecile: Yeha, Zsa Zsa is still barely alive and still causing trouble.
	10:16am hazmania: Anybody heard the Bird And The Bee album of Hall and Oates cover songs? I dig it, actually like their versions of the later, cheesy H&O.
	10:17am still b/p: Ralph the carpenter lives!
	10:17am annie: i actually liked bottle rocket, then quickly got tired of the sad-sack characterization of owen's roles
	10:17am Cecile: I think Chromeo burn incense and chant to them every AM.
	10:18am Andrew: Why did the farmer open a punk rock club? He was tired of haulin' oats. Ha.
	10:18am Cecile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gCU5uplB4A
	10:18am jbk: Who's sculpture is that on the playlist page?
	10:19am wunderful: throw moma from the train owen rules
	10:19am hazmania: Too bad Hall and Oates never sang a cover of the Green Acres theme song. Then we could tie this all together. lol
	10:19am Cecile: I actually liked Owen. He was kind of spazzy energy in a really kind of static energy.
	10:19am ffrr: They were 'hotcakes', Dale. Vic Mizzy did quite a job on that show, as well as on the Addam's Family.
	10:20am dale: i was surprised when i read that daryll hall's solo album was to be the third half of the fripp/gabriel/? trilogy
	10:21am annie: what subtle and clever humor they had, those two shows
	10:21am Jennique: Morning Trouble. I hope that you have heard Nicki Bluhm's cover of "I Can't Go for That" sung while driving in a van. I have it on high rotation on my iPod.
	10:23am Vivian: Thanks Trouble. Just curious about the breeds you selected. Actually, I follow a facebook page for city coops and gardeners -but haven't asked about breeds as of yet. Too busy moving from one house to another. Once the move is completed, then I can proceed with coop building.
	10:24am dale: pretty sure those writers were taking acid, it was so out there. first few beverly hillbillies were the same way. i remember hank the county agent showing mr. douglas through a microscope that he had corn borers, and the visual was a girl in a bikini on a giant ear of corn.
	10:24am will: Hunky guy in the Lounge Lizards....I thought you were going to say Arto Lindsay. Just put "Offshore" in my library queue, thanks for the tip...WJ
	♥ 10:26am trouble: o good jennique you are still in town, we should make sure we have each other's cell. i will write you later.
	♥ 10:27am trouble: will i think arto is fab, but perhaps not so hunky. if youy love offshore read all the penelope fitzgerald, haven't been disappointed by one.
	10:27am annie: i grew up in a quirky household to begin with, and those early teevee shows solidified my off-the-wall sense of humour, something which only the superior really get
	♥ 10:28am trouble: today's artist is tamara zahaykevich. a wfmu listener!
	10:30am Lewis: ay recommendations for recordings by lounge lizards beyond "voice of chunk"? (the travelogue series (Fishing with John) that John Laurie did with people like Dennis Hopper and Tom Waits is pretty entertaining)
	10:31am Mike East: Has anyone heard of an artist called Mr. Imagination or Gregory Warmack?
	10:32am Mike East: He died two weeks ago.
	10:32am still b/p: I remember Tom enjoyed hollering, "Are they biting?" to others on the water when he was Fishing With John.
	10:33am Priscilla: waiting for godot in Italian with a german accent — too much
	10:34am Jennique: I enjoyed Fishing With John and thought the Tom Waits segment was one of the best, especially when he put a just caught fish in his pants.
	10:35am Priscilla: Also too much: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/spinning/2012/jun/10/ I'm proselytizing for this mashup of Nick Drake & Elizabethan music
	10:37am still b/p: Mullet Variations.
	♥ 10:38am trouble: j'adore the fishing with john, he really is a giant pain in the ass!
	10:39am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble and listeners. Sorry for arriving fashionably late. The Hall & Oates talk reminds me of this great sketch from the UK TV show Big Train, written by Graham Linehan, who also co-wrote Father Ted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh5f-_I1df4
	10:39am Braveness23: Any show that had Tom Waits putting a fish in his pants is OK with me
	10:40am seang: and then there's Marvin Pontiac
	10:41am Lewis: @still b/p - well played!!
	♥ 10:41am trouble: hello adrian, no worries. i know you are busy getting ready for the olympics, practicing your shotput and butterfly stroke. i can't wait to get off air and watch that sketch. love that man to bits, GL
	10:42am Priscilla: I remember Spongebob fishing with John: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzvpbMa-75k
	10:43am Lewis: @Priscilla - also well played!!
	10:44am abbyinfrance: hello trouble, what a nice show today. i once dropped an egg on a chicken and the other chickens, like, attacked it. thank the lord for baby wipes! andrew that was funny.
	10:46am Cecile: Adrian, that was hysterical.
	10:46am still b/p: Lurie's had a tough decade...Lyme disease and personal disputes. Apparently can't do much in the way of film or music anymore.
	10:48am Brian in UK: Hey trouble it's amazing what a 50 cent album can start.
	10:48am still b/p: ..but still making art. http://www.johnlurieart.com/art/
	10:48am Jennique: Great New Yorker article on John Lurie: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/08/16/100816fa_fact_friend
	♥ 10:49am trouble: hey abbey! merci bien. LEwis, there aren't a lot of lounge lizards recordings out there. i have them all and love them equally.
	10:49am Cecile: Jennique, that article is fantastic. It's pretty epic.
	10:49am Lewis: too bad about Lurie - he is associated in my mind with a lot of high quality and off the main track stuff... I wish him the best.
	♥ 10:49am trouble: i know that tale still b/p, sad.
	10:50am Cheri Pi: Joe Bataan always pulls me out of a slump-Hello WFMU! The Pi is back.
	10:50am Lewis: thanks Trouble - i will search and acquire
	♥ 10:50am trouble: they were one of the best live bands i have ever seen.
	10:52am Cheri Pi: Yes-all JB should be reissued!!!
	10:52am Cecile: Cheri!
	10:54am Cheri Pi: Cecile-Baby!
	10:54am 300: SPARTA!
	10:54am Cheri Pi: haahaahaa
	♥ 10:55am trouble: howdy cheri-pi!
	10:55am Cheri Pi: When that movie came out the font was so bad I thought it was called "Zoo" for the longest time.
	10:56am Cecile: Cheri: Diane played this last week. I was on the floor: Carach Angren The Funerary Dirge of A Violinist You have to check it out. There was a spoken aside that just killed me: "I am so sick of this war."
	10:56am Cheri Pi: I got the cutest Yayoi Kusama book on my travels and it comes w/ a cute figurine!! http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOBK-1244606
	10:57am Cheri Pi: Oh do tell Cecile-I'm in those Archives!!! Can't wait to hear it.
	10:57am lane: i'm such an idiot, i've been commenting on an archive page!... great show!
	11:00am carol: and Howlin' Wolf 300 lbs of Joy..Tom Jones sang it as 200 pounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ2UadHc_Qg
	11:03am Cecile: this is great. It sounds like the Kashmere Show Band playing Bo Diddley.
	11:03am lane: love the BIG rythem... rhythem how do u spell that?
	11:05am Priscilla: Isn't rhythm the only word where the Y counts as a vowel?
	11:06am Cecile: there's byte, rye, try...
	11:06am Cecile: There's cry, thy, sly
	♥ 11:07am trouble: ooooh i am jealous, cheri pi. that yayoi book looks wild! HI lane!
	11:07am Mike East: dystopia
	11:08am Priscilla: Oh right! "Rhythm" is still much weirder than "try".
	11:08am Cecile: szyzygy
	11:10am Parq: Pi, did you have your Japan trip? I thought that was later in the year. Looking forward to details and photos.
	11:11am Cecile: syzygy, I got carried away with the zs.

	11:12am Cheri Pi: Yes Parq I got back Sat. pm and I still have jet lag!! Left my camera on the plane so hopefully I can get that back and p ost picks soon. trip was fantastic!I missed WFMU so much!!

	11:23am Brian in UK: Priscilla, I think in Welsh 'y' is a vowel, fwiw.
	11:24am Jennique: Glad the background chatter on We're A Happy Family is in Japanese.
	11:25am hamburger: :o <- wow face
