	9:11am Bronwyn Bishop: my man BOBBY BROWN!
	9:12am Trouble: this morning's fine artwork is by samuel jablon
	9:12am The Oscar: I really need to pick up a copy of this record. So good.
	9:12am Trouble: i am working the record fair on sunday morning peoples! ack: 9;30 am
	9:14am bobdoesthings: Im working the fair saturday 3:30-7. I think at the wfmu table

	9:17am Sem Chumbo: Good morning, Trouble, and Modern Worlders.
	9:18am sugarwolf: I'm working Sunday afternoon. Maybe I'll see some of you there!
	9:18am Passaic River Blues: @sphere: I think Matmos is playing on Sunday.
	9:19am sphere: @Passaic - argh! i'll still be in the vicinity so maybe i'll drop by for them.
	9:21am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble. My nose may be to the grindstone but my ears are to WFMU.
	9:22am Passaic River Blues: @sphere: I am thinking of braving the crossing of four rivers to go to the fair on Sunday to see those guys (and purchasing weird stuff to mail anonymously to strangers).
	9:23am Trouble: thank you adrian. I will tell your boss that!
	9:26am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble. I love POP music.
	9:27am Brian in UK: Adrian, are you going to see Stephin Merritt at the Barbican?
	9:29am The Oscar: The Cake rival The Tammys for the title of Most Fascinatingly Weird Girl Group.
	9:30am cglenn: Trouble i have never written you but thought for the heck of it i'd let you know how i truly dig your music.. your choices.. your thing… voice and everything! Anyway, i'm a big FMU fan for several years now and i've always appreciated your show and never told you.. so there.. i'm one of your minions and now you know.. i'm chris..
	9:31am Trouble: thanks chris!! always glad to hear a new voice and such sweet things. merci
	9:31am Itzall Ablurr: I want to take a bite out of that delicious painting. Cake only served to reinforce that urge.
	9:31am Trouble: do it passaic. 4 rivers: new transhudson indy band name
	9:32am Trouble: sad to read this www.nytimes.com...
	9:42am tomasz.: there's gotta be a simple solution to this bird thing. i reckon i could figure it out
	9:42am Itzall Ablurr: The problem at Kingsland is a crisis of (lack of) imagination, and action. Sonic devices could be installed to emit CONSTANT predatory calls which would frighten away any bird approaching the area. This has been done to great results in cities experiencing the "pigeon problem". It absolutely deters them from going anywhere NEAR the origin point of the disturbing sounds.
	9:43am JakeGould: Let’s reframe the conversation: It’s now me, it’s you! Jesus Chrysler!
	9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and modern worldies. @adrian - I believe I forgot to wish you happy anniversary last week. Please accept my congratulations herewith.
	9:44am JakeGould: That now should have been a not but that is not my problem.
	9:45am tomasz.: that's a good one, or i was thinking if you couldn't make the flare visible, you could erect a sparse metal scaffolding structure surrounding the flare tower which would prevent birds getting close enough to the flare to be injured
	9:46am SeanG: hiya folks!
	9:46am tomasz.: tom from Glasgow, bird scientist
	9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: A sign saying "Birds, keep away!" would not be effective, so that's right out.
	9:49am Chris from DC: This Church of Anthrax is kind of soothing right now.
	9:49am quinn: I'm with Chris
	9:50am JakeGould: Maybe they should station old people throwing bread on the ground near the flare sites to get the birds to land before they get toasted.
	9:51am melinda: hi Sean!
	9:54am SeanG: Hey melinda! been thinking of portland lately. :-)
	9:56am fm Mike: Mm. If Idda known Little Dragon sounded like this, I woulda listened to them sooner!
	9:58am Trouble: after mentioning how wrong a tax cut for the rich is, dude calls me and lectures me on economics. yeah i got an A in all my econ classes bizdude, i'm not misguided. just thinking my wealthy prez shouldn't give a gift to himself and his pals
	9:59am Trouble: fm mike: tille dragon is not always so mellow, can get a lot more dancey at times
	10:05am bobdoesthings: gotta get some local honey
	10:06am ?: Get off your high horse and play music
	10:07am Kurt: Only a fool wants to give the government more money.
	10:07am bobdoesthings: When I die, I'm taking all my money with me to the afterlife.. so I can shove it in their poor dead faces...
	10:07am listener monica: rich people seldom get their money by good means. eat the rich and tax the holy fc out of them!!
	10:08am Chris from DC: "Cut the chatter, spin the platter" is priceless.
	10:08am JakeGould: How do you get a horse high?
	10:09am ?: Great attitude Monica. I made my money the old fashioned way: I earned it!
	10:09am melinda: @Chris: totally. Trouble is such a great DJ.
	10:09am βrian: I love it when Trouble carries on a bit.
	10:09am fm Mike: I guess hotbox.
	10:09am Itzall Ablurr: Worst advice ever (from a very, very wealthy by inheritance and business hand-over via family): "Just work as hard as I do and you can achieve the same level of success that I HAVE." Umm. OK.
	10:09am Jeff Frieri: Keep up the chatter. Play some roots reggae and the first Clash lp. Best protest music.
	10:10am fm Mike: Lol @ Itzall Ablurr
	10:10am blee: Say it loud, Trouble! I enjoy hearing your views, they are a refreshing change from the new normal of fear, hate and greed.
	10:12am Mike Wolf: Stay on that horse — it's not that high, it's only as high up as you need. A good example for us all.
	10:13am listener monica: great name ?. i earned my money too but most wealthy people do not.
	10:13am bobdoesthings: @jake make the horse blaze a trail? i dunno . i give up.
	10:13am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble-n-Co.: that story is demoralizing. There are so many obstacles we create for birds on top of habitat loss and introducing environmental toxins. Every year I see dead warblers on sidewalks around town in the spring and fall. Last fall I tried to save a lady Northern Parula that had apparently struck an office building window on Raymond Blvd. but I failed. But, as Itzall suggested, this Kingsland methane problem may have a potential partial solution in auditory signals (hard to say if it would be effective for all species at all times, but seems like it would certainly mitigate to a great degree). And don't even get me started on Trump's tax plan. Next time some NJ finance bro starts shouting about the virtues of Trump's tax plan, ask them what they think about the proposal to eliminate/reduce the state and local tax payment deductions, which will slam many NJ homeowners and serves no purpose other than to slightly offset the insanely huge cuts for the super-wealthy. Or ask them why when Reagan and Bush II applied these fallacious Laffer Curve principles it resulted in massive deficits and not magically increased revenue. They've tried this shit as long as I've been alive and it never fucking works.
	10:13am fm Mike: Amen blee!
	10:13am Ken From Hyde Park: I will also state for the record that I am not in agreement with their dumb idea to turn over national monument land to oil, logging and mining companies.
	10:16am Lucky: Everything we own is, at least in part, gained through the suffering of others.
	10:17am JakeGould: @bobdoesthings: That’s pretty good!
	10:17am Sem Chumbo: Love a great torch singer, and torch song. Together, killer. Thanks, Trouble.
	10:17am Passaic River Blues: @Lucky: word.
	10:17am melinda: I like all versions of To Love Somebody that I've heard so far, so good.
	10:18am PKNY: Maaaaannnn, James Carr is slaying it! And I like that he gives the drummer a little something here and there.
	10:20am sphere: Anytime someone claims that they made it through "hard work," I strongly suspect that they really mean "exploiting others."
	10:22am sugarwolf: The new tax plan looks soooo bad for the self-employed. Hmm, and so does the healthcare bills. I thought the GOP liked small businesses!!!
	10:22am steve: if we follow the hosts logic then all of the wealth in existence today must have been confiscated from some one person in the past.
	10:23am βrian: Can't recall who said it: "A self-made man tends to worship his creator."
	10:27am Trouble: the host said no such thing. I am only questioning the lack of moral fiber that suggests $$$ is the only goal and the sharing of $ is a bad goal. do onto others as you would have them do on to you is a pretty punk rock thing to do
	10:27am Ricky: OWS had it right.
	10:29am JakeGould: Kinda stuns me that taxes for the self-employed would get worse. Isn’t going freelance and bidding yourself down the trend nowadays? You would think making freelancing more attractive would be a thing. Just outsource everything.
	10:31am redkayak: This is awesome - BTW.....
	10:31am JakeGould: Which is to say subway ads is n NYC promoting “Fivver” and similar things really piss me off.
	10:32am redkayak: What? Small business taxes are going up? Remind me to vote for the other side....
	10:32am redkayak: Oh......too late :/
	10:33am maestroso: This is a very soothing set.
	10:34am redkayak: Small business is not for the faint hearted.....
	10:34am Sem Chumbo: Amen.
	10:37am JakeGould: @redkayak: Should have told that to Fred Sanford. He was on the edge of a heart attack every episode of that show while running his small junkyard business.
	10:38am Sem Chumbo: haha, JakeGould.
	10:39am redkayak: @Jake - I should have paid more attention to that show when I was a kid :) Hell, at least I can sleep through the night now. Most nights, anyway!
	10:40am ian: what? why don't they just make freelancing totally illegal if they gonna make it worse than it already is. awesome set!
	10:41am tiago: I have to say: I think of myself as someone who knows brasilian music quite well - perhaps wrongly...- but am always looking forward to the gems you find Trouble. Had never heard this sydney miller track although can see the Milton Nascimento link. Obrigado
	10:41am JakeGould: @redkayak: Lots of good small business advice on “Sanford and Son.” Also I was permalancing from around 2001 to 2011. It sucked.
	10:41am redkayak: Anyway, I LOVE it when politicians speak of the virtues of small business. Then they don't lift a GD finger to help. American as Apple Pie. Don't get me started.... I was in a good mood....
	10:42am braveness23: ewww.. the out of tune-ness of sidney miller...
	10:42am redkayak: @Jake If I knew then what I know now......
	10:43am βrian: One huge, huge boon for small businesses would be a single-payer health system.
	10:45am Sem Chumbo: Linguas de fogo."Tongues of Fire." I guess Fogo Island, Newfoundland, didn't get its name from anything to do with fire. fogoislandinn.ca
	10:45am redkayak: @Brian - Indeed. However, we are an uncivilized nation. Don't get me going on that either. Sigh....
	10:45am Trouble: our working hard or hardly working congress and senate want to overall the affordable care act for americans EXCEPTING themselves : they will keep all the benefits
	10:47am melinda: @Brian: yes! It would be good for everyone except the health insurance industry and healthcare profiteers.@Trouble: isn't that telling? I wonder if their supportive constituents know this.
	10:47am redkayak: @trouble - Oy. Yeah, we're not getting screwed badly enough as it is......
	10:47am sugarwolf: @ßrian: INORITE??? @redkayak: it's like politicians who make a bit deal about family values and then support policies that make it much harder/worse for families
	10:48am JakeGould: They also want to screw around with 401K plans. Make it taxable on deposit but not tax things when you touch the money in retirement.
	10:48am Kurt: The federal government does so well with the VA health system I'm sure they'd do just fine for the rest of us.
	10:49am ian: yeah you took the bait redkayak. that's the power of utter bs for ya. second to finance, total bs in some form is the realm of the powers that be. I also learned this the hard way by running a small business or few and currently freelance so.. hi comrade.
	10:50am Kayt: bom dia trouble lean gwash gi pho go bay rah do marr
	10:50am Sem Chumbo: This is pretty fine.
	10:50am ian: the disconnect with the music is staggering. I'm gonna just listen.
	10:51am melinda: @Kurt the government doesn't run healthcare in a single-payer system, they act as the sole insurance payer, which lowers costs in part because there is no profit.
	10:52am Planet Tyler: Yup, Congress has exempted themselves from Trumpcare. Meanwhile, I'm so glad for the WFMU archives cos I missed too much of this great show today!
	10:54am Kurt: Yeah, that'll work. Corrupt politicians running any aspect of the healthcare system (or anything else for that matter) is a bad idea.
	10:56am βrian: No profit, no corruption. That's the beauty of it.
	10:56am Planet Tyler: @Kurt, there are some things that govt should run instead of the free-market. Now, we just have to elect competent and interested people.
	10:56am maestroso: Great show DJ Trouble. Off to a meeting, unfortunately. Will catch you next week.
	10:56am Passaic River Blues: @Kurt: And who continually sabotages the VA? Could it be the GOP who blocked the Veterans Job Corps Act in 2012, who voted against the Military Retirement Pay Restoration Act in 2014, and then again voted to reduce mental health and educational benefits this past October? It's almost as if the system was designed to function poorly.
	10:57am βrian: The Republicants. Obstruct, Destroy, and Pillage.
	10:57am melinda: A single-payer system wouldn't solve all of the problems of healthcare by a long shot but it would move us in the right direction. Profiteering insurance companies are no better than corrupt politicians, and at least we have the means to fight corruption in govt and elect better representatives.
	10:58am Groucho: Giles Peterson. BBC DJ. British prom. jiles
	10:59am Groucho: *pron
	10:59am Kurt: Governments by their very nature are corrupt and attract the self-serving. There are very few politicians in Washington who are there to do the peoples bidding. They are there for power and wealth and that's it. That is why our constitution specifically limits it's powers.
	11:00am SeanG: kill em' all!
	11:03am braveness23: Love this Nico track!
	11:10am melinda: As citizens we have more control over elected representatives than we do the CEOs of health insurance and other healthcare operations. Politicians are supposed to represent us and there is at least a system in place for allowing us to have some control over what they do, private-sector profiteers are not accountable to citizens, they answer to shareholders.
	11:11am Kurt: Maybe we should handle putting people in Congress the same way we do jury duty. And disqualify anyone who actually wants to server. People who are attracted to power generally should never have it.
	11:14am Webhamster Henry: Hi Troubled ones! Nice music today. "The rich are just not rich enough" << basic idea in a song I'm writing.
	11:16am Trouble: as long as our election cycles are supported by donations to the candidate of your choice we will be represented by those who raise the most cash, weak to the vagaries of the donator. france has heavy controls on how $ is spent yet look what they now have on their plate
	11:19am Trouble: exactly the rich's point o wise webmaster
	11:19am Mike Wolf: LUXURIOUS D. BAGS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PERFECT SONG AT THE PERFECT MOMENT
	11:22am upsetter5001: Nice to check in on this show even if life does not allow me to experience it in full. Thank you Trouble
	11:23am Trouble: riverviewobserver.net...
	11:24am Mick: Good morning Trouble and Troubladours. Stopped by to comment on the fantastic music, and got a tax and policy chat as a bonus! Stay on your reps, folks.
	11:24am Trouble: you are very welcome upsetter 5001!
	11:26am Dennis Diken: so nice to hear the Flywheels track, thanks!
	11:26am Chris from DC: YES!
	11:27am Bill W: do you think there will be any Redd Foxx party records at the record fair, Trouble?
	11:27am Kurt: Clinton outspent Trump almost 2 to 1 and still couldn't pull it off. So the office doesn't always go to the highest bidder
	11:28am Trouble: and this too! www.newyorker.com...
	11:30am Greg from ZONE 5: Love this Sun Ra vibe…
	11:31am JtotheK: @Greg - seconded. Sun Ra is much appreciated this morning, thanks Trouble!
	11:31am D. Lightfoot: Greg: Yes, good fever dream stuff
	11:33am Mick: Oooh, thanks for the Jean-Pierre Melville article too, Trouble! Really good show and discussion.
	11:33am rbrt: loved that transition from sun ra to susumu yokota!
	11:37am bobdoesthings: yayyyyy! record fair!!
	11:37am Passaic River Blues: @rbrt: we have same thoughts. That was a beautiful blend!
	11:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Our office is closing early tomorrow so we can all go to a springtime happy hour up the street. So at 4pm I'm gonna be all "See everybody at the bar!" <pulls hat down, walks in opposite direction, jumps on L train>
	11:41am Greg from ZONE 5: WAIT WHAT MELVILLE WHERE NOW HOLY SMOKES
	11:42am bobdoesthings: believe she said Film Forum greg - also www.newyorker.com...
	11:42am Bill W: LEON MORIN has 13 restored minutes btw http://filmforum.org/series/melville-series
	11:43am Greg from ZONE 5: Oh yeah, I'm going to all of that.
	11:48am jt: Army of Shadows... that is something no one should miss. See it on the big screen, not at home on your computer..its a bit of history. Harsh reality, gorgeously written and shot.
	11:48am Bronwyn Bishop: really loved the show today trouble
	11:49am Planet Tyler: @melinda, great comment at 11:10
	11:49am museguy: Trouble, thank you ! I am packing to leave Atlanta. Finished teaching this semester at Georgia Tech. Flying back to Mexico City this afternoon. Your two suggestions Pasaquan pasaquan.columbusstate.edu and Atlanta Contemporary Art Center atlantacontemporary.org... have been highlights of my time in Atlanta. Thank you ! -Mark
	11:51am Listener142985: Any fans of cool artistic women planning a trip to Rochester can visit the graves of Lee Morse and Louis Brooks. Cemeteries are across the street from each other. RIP to both.
	11:52am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Just tuning in from foggy San Diego to this happy organ. Will be listening in on the archive! Cheers to Trouble and company!
	11:53am Adrian in London: Nice to hear Ippu-Do on the radio
	11:53am Trouble: glad to hear mark! i was only there for 3 days but i crammed in a lot of fabulousness! thanks for the good words people of the future!!! we won't let the people of the past bog us down
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: Thanks, Trouble, for the trouble you take every Thursday. See you again, next time.
	11:55am FernandoBelmondo: In the 90s Brazilian Octopus album was the most sought after bootleg in Sao Paulo. I remember How excited I was when I finally got a copy. Finally somebody reissued it!
	11:56am bobdoesthings: killer show , thanks trouble!
	11:56am Passaic River Blues: As always thank you, Trouble!
	11:57am Ian: this is fantastic - loving this track. glad I caught the last few minutes of your show :)
	11:58am Trouble: great to know the back story about how the music lived! thanks fernando! really glad you are all here today!
	12:00pm bobdoesthings: I was just thinking that.. thought you had it last week too
	5:57pm spectral_plume: this show is so chill, so vapor...sooo chill.
	11:22pm jt: Fuck this Anthony Lane! Just fuck that shit, just totally sucker punch that guy. Okay he writes for the New Yorker, great: DON'T READ IT! he gives away the main plot line every single time, what a bitch-ass. That is NOT criticism. Sorry dude, you suck. Sure, go to the films as Trouble says , you needn't look further than her good word . Anthony lane sux. as a critic, he is a "SPOILER ALERT-a-Hole". Any questions?

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from April 27, 2017

View Trouble's profile

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 Passaic River Blues: @sphere: I think Matmos is playing on Sunday.
	9:19am sphere: @Passaic - argh! i'll still be in the vicinity so maybe i'll drop by for them.
	9:21am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble. My nose may be to the grindstone but my ears are to WFMU.
	9:22am Passaic River Blues: @sphere: I am thinking of braving the crossing of four rivers to go to the fair on Sunday to see those guys (and purchasing weird stuff to mail anonymously to strangers).
	9:23am Trouble: thank you adrian. I will tell your boss that!
	9:26am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble. I love POP music.
	9:27am Brian in UK: Adrian, are you going to see Stephin Merritt at the Barbican?
	9:29am The Oscar: The Cake rival The Tammys for the title of Most Fascinatingly Weird Girl Group.
	9:30am cglenn: Trouble i have never written you but thought for the heck of it i'd let you know how i truly dig your music.. your choices.. your thing… voice and everything! Anyway, i'm a big FMU fan for several years now and i've always appreciated your show and never told you.. so there.. i'm one of your minions and now you know.. i'm chris..
	9:31am Trouble: thanks chris!! always glad to hear a new voice and such sweet things. merci
	9:31am Itzall Ablurr: I want to take a bite out of that delicious painting. Cake only served to reinforce that urge.
	9:31am Trouble: do it passaic. 4 rivers: new transhudson indy band name
	9:32am Trouble: sad to read this www.nytimes.com...
	9:42am tomasz.: there's gotta be a simple solution to this bird thing. i reckon i could figure it out
	9:42am Itzall Ablurr: The problem at Kingsland is a crisis of (lack of) imagination, and action. Sonic devices could be installed to emit CONSTANT predatory calls which would frighten away any bird approaching the area. This has been done to great results in cities experiencing the "pigeon problem". It absolutely deters them from going anywhere NEAR the origin point of the disturbing sounds.
	9:43am JakeGould: Let’s reframe the conversation: It’s now me, it’s you! Jesus Chrysler!
	9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and modern worldies. @adrian - I believe I forgot to wish you happy anniversary last week. Please accept my congratulations herewith.
	9:44am JakeGould: That now should have been a not but that is not my problem.
	9:45am tomasz.: that's a good one, or i was thinking if you couldn't make the flare visible, you could erect a sparse metal scaffolding structure surrounding the flare tower which would prevent birds getting close enough to the flare to be injured
	9:46am SeanG: hiya folks!
	9:46am tomasz.: tom from Glasgow, bird scientist
	9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: A sign saying "Birds, keep away!" would not be effective, so that's right out.
	9:49am Chris from DC: This Church of Anthrax is kind of soothing right now.
	9:49am quinn: I'm with Chris
	9:50am JakeGould: Maybe they should station old people throwing bread on the ground near the flare sites to get the birds to land before they get toasted.
	9:51am melinda: hi Sean!
	9:54am SeanG: Hey melinda! been thinking of portland lately. :-)
	9:56am fm Mike: Mm. If Idda known Little Dragon sounded like this, I woulda listened to them sooner!
	9:58am Trouble: after mentioning how wrong a tax cut for the rich is, dude calls me and lectures me on economics. yeah i got an A in all my econ classes bizdude, i'm not misguided. just thinking my wealthy prez shouldn't give a gift to himself and his pals
	9:59am Trouble: fm mike: tille dragon is not always so mellow, can get a lot more dancey at times
	10:05am bobdoesthings: gotta get some local honey
	10:06am ?: Get off your high horse and play music
	10:07am Kurt: Only a fool wants to give the government more money.
	10:07am bobdoesthings: When I die, I'm taking all my money with me to the afterlife.. so I can shove it in their poor dead faces...
	10:07am listener monica: rich people seldom get their money by good means. eat the rich and tax the holy fc out of them!!
	10:08am Chris from DC: "Cut the chatter, spin the platter" is priceless.
	10:08am JakeGould: How do you get a horse high?
	10:09am ?: Great attitude Monica. I made my money the old fashioned way: I earned it!
	10:09am melinda: @Chris: totally. Trouble is such a great DJ.
	10:09am βrian: I love it when Trouble carries on a bit.
	10:09am fm Mike: I guess hotbox.
	10:09am Itzall Ablurr: Worst advice ever (from a very, very wealthy by inheritance and business hand-over via family): "Just work as hard as I do and you can achieve the same level of success that I HAVE." Umm. OK.
	10:09am Jeff Frieri: Keep up the chatter. Play some roots reggae and the first Clash lp. Best protest music.
	10:10am fm Mike: Lol @ Itzall Ablurr
	10:10am blee: Say it loud, Trouble! I enjoy hearing your views, they are a refreshing change from the new normal of fear, hate and greed.
	10:12am Mike Wolf: Stay on that horse — it's not that high, it's only as high up as you need. A good example for us all.
	10:13am listener monica: great name ?. i earned my money too but most wealthy people do not.
	10:13am bobdoesthings: @jake make the horse blaze a trail? i dunno . i give up.
	10:13am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble-n-Co.: that story is demoralizing. There are so many obstacles we create for birds on top of habitat loss and introducing environmental toxins. Every year I see dead warblers on sidewalks around town in the spring and fall. Last fall I tried to save a lady Northern Parula that had apparently struck an office building window on Raymond Blvd. but I failed. But, as Itzall suggested, this Kingsland methane problem may have a potential partial solution in auditory signals (hard to say if it would be effective for all species at all times, but seems like it would certainly mitigate to a great degree). And don't even get me started on Trump's tax plan. Next time some NJ finance bro starts shouting about the virtues of Trump's tax plan, ask them what they think about the proposal to eliminate/reduce the state and local tax payment deductions, which will slam many NJ homeowners and serves no purpose other than to slightly offset the insanely huge cuts for the super-wealthy. Or ask them why when Reagan and Bush II applied these fallacious Laffer Curve principles it resulted in massive deficits and not magically increased revenue. They've tried this shit as long as I've been alive and it never fucking works.
	10:13am fm Mike: Amen blee!
	10:13am Ken From Hyde Park: I will also state for the record that I am not in agreement with their dumb idea to turn over national monument land to oil, logging and mining companies.
	10:16am Lucky: Everything we own is, at least in part, gained through the suffering of others.
	10:17am JakeGould: @bobdoesthings: That’s pretty good!
	10:17am Sem Chumbo: Love a great torch singer, and torch song. Together, killer. Thanks, Trouble.
	10:17am Passaic River Blues: @Lucky: word.
	10:17am melinda: I like all versions of To Love Somebody that I've heard so far, so good.
	10:18am PKNY: Maaaaannnn, James Carr is slaying it! And I like that he gives the drummer a little something here and there.
	10:20am sphere: Anytime someone claims that they made it through "hard work," I strongly suspect that they really mean "exploiting others."
	10:22am sugarwolf: The new tax plan looks soooo bad for the self-employed. Hmm, and so does the healthcare bills. I thought the GOP liked small businesses!!!
	10:22am steve: if we follow the hosts logic then all of the wealth in existence today must have been confiscated from some one person in the past.
	10:23am βrian: Can't recall who said it: "A self-made man tends to worship his creator."
	10:27am Trouble: the host said no such thing. I am only questioning the lack of moral fiber that suggests $$$ is the only goal and the sharing of $ is a bad goal. do onto others as you would have them do on to you is a pretty punk rock thing to do
	10:27am Ricky: OWS had it right.
	10:29am JakeGould: Kinda stuns me that taxes for the self-employed would get worse. Isn’t going freelance and bidding yourself down the trend nowadays? You would think making freelancing more attractive would be a thing. Just outsource everything.
	10:31am redkayak: This is awesome - BTW.....
	10:31am JakeGould: Which is to say subway ads is n NYC promoting “Fivver” and similar things really piss me off.
	10:32am redkayak: What? Small business taxes are going up? Remind me to vote for the other side....
	10:32am redkayak: Oh......too late :/
	10:33am maestroso: This is a very soothing set.
	10:34am redkayak: Small business is not for the faint hearted.....
	10:34am Sem Chumbo: Amen.
	10:37am JakeGould: @redkayak: Should have told that to Fred Sanford. He was on the edge of a heart attack every episode of that show while running his small junkyard business.
	10:38am Sem Chumbo: haha, JakeGould.
	10:39am redkayak: @Jake - I should have paid more attention to that show when I was a kid :) Hell, at least I can sleep through the night now. Most nights, anyway!
	10:40am ian: what? why don't they just make freelancing totally illegal if they gonna make it worse than it already is. awesome set!
	10:41am tiago: I have to say: I think of myself as someone who knows brasilian music quite well - perhaps wrongly...- but am always looking forward to the gems you find Trouble. Had never heard this sydney miller track although can see the Milton Nascimento link. Obrigado
	10:41am JakeGould: @redkayak: Lots of good small business advice on “Sanford and Son.” Also I was permalancing from around 2001 to 2011. It sucked.
	10:41am redkayak: Anyway, I LOVE it when politicians speak of the virtues of small business. Then they don't lift a GD finger to help. American as Apple Pie. Don't get me started.... I was in a good mood....
	10:42am braveness23: ewww.. the out of tune-ness of sidney miller...
	10:42am redkayak: @Jake If I knew then what I know now......
	10:43am βrian: One huge, huge boon for small businesses would be a single-payer health system.
	10:45am Sem Chumbo: Linguas de fogo."Tongues of Fire." I guess Fogo Island, Newfoundland, didn't get its name from anything to do with fire. fogoislandinn.ca
	10:45am redkayak: @Brian - Indeed. However, we are an uncivilized nation. Don't get me going on that either. Sigh....
	10:45am Trouble: our working hard or hardly working congress and senate want to overall the affordable care act for americans EXCEPTING themselves : they will keep all the benefits
	10:47am melinda: @Brian: yes! It would be good for everyone except the health insurance industry and healthcare profiteers.@Trouble: isn't that telling? I wonder if their supportive constituents know this.
	10:47am redkayak: @trouble - Oy. Yeah, we're not getting screwed badly enough as it is......
	10:47am sugarwolf: @ßrian: INORITE??? @redkayak: it's like politicians who make a bit deal about family values and then support policies that make it much harder/worse for families
	10:48am JakeGould: They also want to screw around with 401K plans. Make it taxable on deposit but not tax things when you touch the money in retirement.
	10:48am Kurt: The federal government does so well with the VA health system I'm sure they'd do just fine for the rest of us.
	10:49am ian: yeah you took the bait redkayak. that's the power of utter bs for ya. second to finance, total bs in some form is the realm of the powers that be. I also learned this the hard way by running a small business or few and currently freelance so.. hi comrade.
	10:50am Kayt: bom dia trouble lean gwash gi pho go bay rah do marr
	10:50am Sem Chumbo: This is pretty fine.
	10:50am ian: the disconnect with the music is staggering. I'm gonna just listen.
	10:51am melinda: @Kurt the government doesn't run healthcare in a single-payer system, they act as the sole insurance payer, which lowers costs in part because there is no profit.
	10:52am Planet Tyler: Yup, Congress has exempted themselves from Trumpcare. Meanwhile, I'm so glad for the WFMU archives cos I missed too much of this great show today!
	10:54am Kurt: Yeah, that'll work. Corrupt politicians running any aspect of the healthcare system (or anything else for that matter) is a bad idea.
	10:56am βrian: No profit, no corruption. That's the beauty of it.
	10:56am Planet Tyler: @Kurt, there are some things that govt should run instead of the free-market. Now, we just have to elect competent and interested people.
	10:56am maestroso: Great show DJ Trouble. Off to a meeting, unfortunately. Will catch you next week.
	10:56am Passaic River Blues: @Kurt: And who continually sabotages the VA? Could it be the GOP who blocked the Veterans Job Corps Act in 2012, who voted against the Military Retirement Pay Restoration Act in 2014, and then again voted to reduce mental health and educational benefits this past October? It's almost as if the system was designed to function poorly.
	10:57am βrian: The Republicants. Obstruct, Destroy, and Pillage.
	10:57am melinda: A single-payer system wouldn't solve all of the problems of healthcare by a long shot but it would move us in the right direction. Profiteering insurance companies are no better than corrupt politicians, and at least we have the means to fight corruption in govt and elect better representatives.
	10:58am Groucho: Giles Peterson. BBC DJ. British prom. jiles
	10:59am Groucho: *pron
	10:59am Kurt: Governments by their very nature are corrupt and attract the self-serving. There are very few politicians in Washington who are there to do the peoples bidding. They are there for power and wealth and that's it. That is why our constitution specifically limits it's powers.
	11:00am SeanG: kill em' all!
	11:03am braveness23: Love this Nico track!
	11:10am melinda: As citizens we have more control over elected representatives than we do the CEOs of health insurance and other healthcare operations. Politicians are supposed to represent us and there is at least a system in place for allowing us to have some control over what they do, private-sector profiteers are not accountable to citizens, they answer to shareholders.
	11:11am Kurt: Maybe we should handle putting people in Congress the same way we do jury duty. And disqualify anyone who actually wants to server. People who are attracted to power generally should never have it.
	11:14am Webhamster Henry: Hi Troubled ones! Nice music today. "The rich are just not rich enough" << basic idea in a song I'm writing.
	11:16am Trouble: as long as our election cycles are supported by donations to the candidate of your choice we will be represented by those who raise the most cash, weak to the vagaries of the donator. france has heavy controls on how $ is spent yet look what they now have on their plate
	11:19am Trouble: exactly the rich's point o wise webmaster
	11:19am Mike Wolf: LUXURIOUS D. BAGS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PERFECT SONG AT THE PERFECT MOMENT
	11:22am upsetter5001: Nice to check in on this show even if life does not allow me to experience it in full. Thank you Trouble
	11:23am Trouble: riverviewobserver.net...
	11:24am Mick: Good morning Trouble and Troubladours. Stopped by to comment on the fantastic music, and got a tax and policy chat as a bonus! Stay on your reps, folks.
	11:24am Trouble: you are very welcome upsetter 5001!
	11:26am Dennis Diken: so nice to hear the Flywheels track, thanks!
	11:26am Chris from DC: YES!
	11:27am Bill W: do you think there will be any Redd Foxx party records at the record fair, Trouble?
	11:27am Kurt: Clinton outspent Trump almost 2 to 1 and still couldn't pull it off. So the office doesn't always go to the highest bidder
	11:28am Trouble: and this too! www.newyorker.com...
	11:30am Greg from ZONE 5: Love this Sun Ra vibe…
	11:31am JtotheK: @Greg - seconded. Sun Ra is much appreciated this morning, thanks Trouble!
	11:31am D. Lightfoot: Greg: Yes, good fever dream stuff
	11:33am Mick: Oooh, thanks for the Jean-Pierre Melville article too, Trouble! Really good show and discussion.
	11:33am rbrt: loved that transition from sun ra to susumu yokota!
	11:37am bobdoesthings: yayyyyy! record fair!!
	11:37am Passaic River Blues: @rbrt: we have same thoughts. That was a beautiful blend!
	11:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Our office is closing early tomorrow so we can all go to a springtime happy hour up the street. So at 4pm I'm gonna be all "See everybody at the bar!" <pulls hat down, walks in opposite direction, jumps on L train>
	11:41am Greg from ZONE 5: WAIT WHAT MELVILLE WHERE NOW HOLY SMOKES
	11:42am bobdoesthings: believe she said Film Forum greg - also www.newyorker.com...
	11:42am Bill W: LEON MORIN has 13 restored minutes btw http://filmforum.org/series/melville-series
	11:43am Greg from ZONE 5: Oh yeah, I'm going to all of that.
	11:48am jt: Army of Shadows... that is something no one should miss. See it on the big screen, not at home on your computer..its a bit of history. Harsh reality, gorgeously written and shot.
	11:48am Bronwyn Bishop: really loved the show today trouble
	11:49am Planet Tyler: @melinda, great comment at 11:10
	11:49am museguy: Trouble, thank you ! I am packing to leave Atlanta. Finished teaching this semester at Georgia Tech. Flying back to Mexico City this afternoon. Your two suggestions Pasaquan pasaquan.columbusstate.edu and Atlanta Contemporary Art Center atlantacontemporary.org... have been highlights of my time in Atlanta. Thank you ! -Mark
	11:51am Listener142985: Any fans of cool artistic women planning a trip to Rochester can visit the graves of Lee Morse and Louis Brooks. Cemeteries are across the street from each other. RIP to both.
	11:52am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Just tuning in from foggy San Diego to this happy organ. Will be listening in on the archive! Cheers to Trouble and company!
	11:53am Adrian in London: Nice to hear Ippu-Do on the radio
	11:53am Trouble: glad to hear mark! i was only there for 3 days but i crammed in a lot of fabulousness! thanks for the good words people of the future!!! we won't let the people of the past bog us down
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: Thanks, Trouble, for the trouble you take every Thursday. See you again, next time.
	11:55am FernandoBelmondo: In the 90s Brazilian Octopus album was the most sought after bootleg in Sao Paulo. I remember How excited I was when I finally got a copy. Finally somebody reissued it!
	11:56am bobdoesthings: killer show , thanks trouble!
	11:56am Passaic River Blues: As always thank you, Trouble!
	11:57am Ian: this is fantastic - loving this track. glad I caught the last few minutes of your show :)
	11:58am Trouble: great to know the back story about how the music lived! thanks fernando! really glad you are all here today!
	12:00pm bobdoesthings: I was just thinking that.. thought you had it last week too
	5:57pm spectral_plume: this show is so chill, so vapor...sooo chill.
	11:22pm jt: Fuck this Anthony Lane! Just fuck that shit, just totally sucker punch that guy. Okay he writes for the New Yorker, great: DON'T READ IT! he gives away the main plot line every single time, what a bitch-ass. That is NOT criticism. Sorry dude, you suck. Sure, go to the films as Trouble says , you needn't look further than her good word . Anthony lane sux. as a critic, he is a "SPOILER ALERT-a-Hole". Any questions?
