	9:02am dale: there it is! slow loading on my end.
	9:02am NotARealDoctor: Good morning, Mary Abbot! And good morning, Trouble! This song makes me think of Bioshock! Pretty sure this song was in the second game.
	9:04am Trouble: yes indeed it is, @dale. I imagine it would be gorgeous on a victrola@medson.
	9:05am Davee: Good morning!
	9:06am Trouble: @dale. I have to start up accuplaylist, sign in, then add the song info @dale. so the first song info is very often late to arrive.

	9:07am Aaron Working In Newark: Good morming

	9:13am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning, art lovers, good morning Trouble!
	9:14am Kapo Strano: this IS the modern world
	9:14am Sem: Hello and good morning, Trouble, and those that seek Trouble in their lives on a Thursday morning.
	9:15am Listener Robert: Mary Abbot's looks like a cosmonaut looking down at something, holding some kind of probe in the left hand.
	9:16am Ken From Hyde Park: Ahh, music to melt snow by!
	9:17am Itzall Ablurr: Lovely, lovely, lovely.
	9:20am Kapo Strano: Dr. NotAReal you are correct. And in Bioshock Infinite one summons the songbird by playing the notes C-A-G-E.
	9:20am Linda Lee: Stunning, beautiful sounds from Charlie Haden. Brava!!
	9:21am Linda Lee: @thatpatsmith ~ yes consciousness does seem fundamental :-)
	9:22am melinda: Good morning Trouble and group!
	9:26am Listener Robert: Something incongruous about the living room chair with the cosmonaut nearby.
	9:27am dale: this annabel is other worldly.
	9:27am northguineahills: Let's harp this set up (mary lattimore por favor)!
	9:28am northguineahills: (of course, alice always salves the soul).
	9:28am Papayo: Amaizing tracks! Thank you
	9:29am Kapo Strano: Re: consciousness, I like this one -- https://youtu.be/yIj2-lSnQ5M
	9:32am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble and everyone. I found myself breaking the news of France Gall's death to a French woman this morning.
	9:34am dale: hard to imagine france was 70. hard to imagine johnny was 74.
	9:37am Papayo: Annabel Lee, great discovery The background sound is Jean Roche?
	9:38am queems: i heard about this prison thing. pretty fucked up
	9:39am dale: i wonder who in albany is getting kickbacks on this.
	9:40am Listener Robert: I ran into this problem with a prison customer for some materials my friend creates and publishes electronically. They wouldn't allow a friend to print and mail it; a printed copy had to come directly from the publisher.
	9:40am melinda: wtf, that is mean spirited and wrong. @dale yeah, sounds fishy.
	9:41am MD: A Week after Trump "Got In" My wife and I sent the ACLU $...A great investment for US all...
	9:42am Trouble: exactly@dale!
	9:43am MD: Not a Ton of $...But As Bernie Taught us all...Every little bit helps...PEOPLE GOT THE POWER...!!!
	9:43am dale: i suppose the point is to prevent things from being smuggled in, but aren't their packages inspected?
	9:43am Ashley: The nys governor's mansion is at 138 Eagle St Albany 12202
	9:43am Trouble: yes@MD, important to keep these people funded and fighting!
	9:44am Trouble: JOIN THE POSTCARD CAMPAIGN Send a postcard NOW to the individuals below to oppose the package policy. Postcards should be sent to: Hon. Andrew M. Cuomo Governor of New York State NYS State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Acting Commissioner Anthony Annucci NYS DOCCS Building 2, State Campus Albany, NY 12226
	9:46am dale: and as we know that poor blacks get thrown in the slammer most often i'm sure poor family members don't have the means to adhere to this new system. probably all they can do to scrape up cash to take a bus for a visit.
	9:46am Ken From Hyde Park: Electronic postcard patrons can go here: www.governor.ny.gov...
	9:47am hendrix wolfbat: That prison prohibition on packages sounds really dodgy re their rights?! Will definitely write. Will they count out of state letters I wonder. I’m in Atlanta.
	9:50am NotARealDoctor: I love that this show is the perfect mixture of delightful music, birds, and social justice discussions
	9:51am jess: Is this not David Bowie?
	9:55am melinda: @hendrix I wouldn't write as an out-of-stater. They have no incentive to listen to people who can't vote for them, better to leave the letter/email/call stream open to NY state people. This was info given by former congressional staffers advising on how to be effective when communicating with elected officials.
	9:55am βrian: Bonjour, Trouble et auditeurs. I hope I haven't missed any commentary.
	9:55am jess: checked the playlist. my phone is lagging way behind.
	9:58am Linda Lee: please know! best way to get through to your representatives is via phone or personal meeting. e-communication is easily ignored.
	9:59am Linda Lee: unfortunately hard knocks training ..
	10:03am hendrix wolfbat: @melinda well that sux since we’re all Americans and should be able to voice our concerns about things like prisoners rights etc.
	10:04am steveo: hi sorry i missed the france gall tribute; my co-op shift was a pain today -- lots of tough mangoes to chop; happy to be here now.
	10:06am dale: ha ha! like this cover.
	10:06am steveo: wow instaclickystar
	10:06am Sem: Certainly, this is excellent.
	10:07am Ricky: freakwater :)
	10:07am Trouble: someone high up at my congressman's office urged me to call all of the NJ congresspeople who obviously were not in my district....
	10:08am Stevel: This cover! Great!
	10:09am MD: RIGHTOUS!!!
	10:09am Aaron Working In Newark: This is great
	10:11am melinda: It does suck, hendrix. But I find it helps to know what is effective and what isn't so I don't misdirect my efforts. You can call or email anyone you want, but I know when I've tried to call my senator and the line is busy it kind of pisses me off to think the line could be tied up by an out-of-state caller.
	10:12am MD: RIGHTOUS!!! AGAIN!!!
	10:12am dale: melinda - or a hooker.
	10:13am βrian: These Filles de Illighadad are popping up everywhere. Lovely.
	10:14am northguineahills: les filles de illighadad , new to me! (must hit the sahel of Western Sahara, Mauritania, and Niger... [well, a bajillion other places too])
	10:16am βrian: Rev. Linkfeister: "Let us ululate."
	10:17am northguineahills: βrian is full of good ideas...
	10:20am βrian: Did folks see reporting about the column in Le Monde? : "une liberté d’importuner" ( "A freedom to bother.")
	10:20am Adrian in London: Given that I broke off from listening to France Gall to listen to the show I'm having a great time today…
	10:20am steveo: For some reason I thought it was new, but Brian Turner played Freakwater / War Pigs 7" almost 20 years ago on February 12, 1998. :) (Oh good, getting my France Gall now -- what a great set.)
	10:21am melinda: @dale haha
	10:28am steveo: Computer # 3 is looking for the right boy for me, and love is guaranteed for both. The computer knows exactly what the right woman is for each man, and luck is about to flow from his file.
	10:29am northguineahills: @steveo: well, that's prophetic, ain't it?
	10:30am mb: Trouble, et al...
	10:31am adampsyche: hi trouble this is a lovely show today!
	10:32am steveo: france gall invented online dating?
	10:32am dale: i didn't know france was married to another singer songwriter www.youtube.com...
	10:37am northguineahills: apparently, steveo. I'm so happy work somewhere that uses metric exclusively (it was frustrating using imperial for gov't jobs and freelance beforehand).
	10:42am βrian: But why? I mean incrementing from 7/32 inch to 1/4 inch is intuitive, no? ... or would that be 15/64?
	10:43am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang! So, so pretty…
	10:44am northguineahills: @βrian: I prefer to work w/ factions w/ prime numbers as the denominator.
	10:45am northguineahills: err.... fractions....
	10:45am steveo: ah, so you're an agitator, are you?
	10:46am listener james from westwood: Guessing this is the live BCBG session from whence that Desir came, on the Free Music Archive, in case anyone else wants to hear the rest of that amazing visit: freemusicarchive.org...
	10:46am βrian: The fraction faction is stubborn, but it really ought to just go away.
	10:47am Passaic River Blues: @Listener James: thank you for the link, sir!
	10:47am Itzall Ablurr: Serge Gainsbourg; LUCKIEST man ever. A great talent, yes. But LUCKY beyond belief.
	10:51am I am the Upsetter: I thought Alexander was John Fahey for a few moments ago.
	10:51am Trouble: yes listener james! true dat
	10:54am Ricky: Allysen Callery:)
	10:54am listener james from westwood: I'm really psyched Cheyenne and the FMA volunteers have gotten so many live sets up. Your Lilian Hak show was one of my faves, and it too is FMA-listed for posterity!
	10:56am thedunkel: another great show today!
	10:57am M: Love your show mainly cuz you play Nina constantly. Thank you.
	10:58am Trouble: merci@thedunkel. and thank you @ listenerjames. merci, and true true, @M. never enough
	10:58am Stevel: What a wonderfully wistful show.
	10:58am Passaic River Blues: This record is so good. "The Backlash Blues" and the closer "Do What You Got to Do" are also stellar.
	11:02am Papayo: wowowow so beautiful
	11:02am Gaylord Fields: Trouble, the good problem I have with your show is that it's too damn good to listen to while I work. But I need to make an exception today, productivity be damned!
	11:03am Papayo: hi Gaylord!
	11:04am mb: What Gaylord said and whatever these birds are chirping about.
	11:04am melinda: I want to hear Nina Simone every week.
	11:05am steveo: f+g=h
	11:05am Gaylord Fields: ¡Buenas tardes, Papayo! Glad we're both enjoying Trouble this morning/afternoon.
	11:06am ranjit: Yeah, I wanna hear Nina Simone every week too
	11:06am ɛɨk: To my knowledge, Europe is indeed not known for quality Mexican cuisine (as there are very few Mexican immigrants -- SAD!), and so Europeans seek it when they visit this side of the pond.
	11:07am steveo: just play stuff off youtube!
	11:09am northguineahills: @ike: It's hard to find actually authentic Mexican food down here in FL. In Berlin, I was horrified at what passed for Mexican (luckily I was staying w/ a Mexican friend there). Good thing I'm damn good at cooking Mexican down here.
	11:09am Gaylord Fields: Trouble, your filler is killer! Sweater Talk should be a regular feature.
	11:09am WO Town Wick: This story about the sweater is amazing!
	11:10am northguineahills: Hey. the last few weeks until today I was wearing a sweater down here in FL! (and my nyc winter coat, and scarf, at least during the mornings and nights)
	11:11am northguineahills: Sweater Talk sounds like an SNL NPR spoof. *cue YLT's 'Autumn Sweater' (except it's winter).
	11:13am ranjit: Trouble, have you seen that Norwegian TV special where they try to beat the world record by going from sheep to sweater in less than 5 hours? tv.nrk.no...
	11:14am Passaic River Blues: Thank you for introducing me to Chloe, Trouble. I've been all over her Soundcloud page since you played that "Recall" track recently.
	11:15am Papayo: space museum is master work of mininal synth. i love this album
	11:22am Papayo: Hey Trouble. Do you like the Antena band?
	11:23am Trouble: antena? isabelle antena? love!!!!!
	11:24am Adrian in London: @ranjit That looks GREAT!!
	11:24am Trouble: omg!!!!! no ranjit, but i know what i am doing when i get off air!!!
	11:25am Papayo: yeah, Camino del sol album is so pretty. :)
	11:25am ranjit: The knit show is in real time, like 8 hours long. Clear the docket!
	11:31am northguineahills: @ranjit: That sounds like something I need to meditate to....
	11:31am Bill W: The NYT obit of France Gall ran a photo that included Serge G, but didn't identify him. That's cold.
	11:32am nah: This Dom la nena is so good
	11:33am Papayo: The accent is from Argentina in this song.
	11:34am Stevel: Bill W: That's a bit odd, especially for the Times. Guessing it was ignorance or, perhaps, an effort not to detract from her (?) Probably overthinking, as a former journo.
	11:34am BronwynB: im very late but im here! hello trouble and everyone!
	11:34am Ricky: @ranjit, my permaculture friends are going to luv this. Thanks.
	11:35am ⓔⓘⓚ: @NGH, well you probably have high standards (as you should), having married one! So I guess it's true that not many Mexicans make that hard right turn down to Florida, America's big goofy wang, when emigrating, eh? I wouldn't either. (No offense.)
	11:38am ⓔⓘⓚ: That said, this FL-based book looks funny. Anybody read this? www.amazon.com...
	11:38am Brian in New Orleans: checking in! will catch up in archives
	11:40am Lixiviated Life: Absolutely LOVED that Pacific Coast Blues. If you can play more like that I'd be very happy. oxoxo
	11:42am northguineahills: @ike: There are Mexicans here (thankfully there are enough tienda mexicanas here, but I can't find every ingredient I need w/o calling my mother-in-law), but most restaurants cater to what gringos think Mexican food should be. I'll just cook my own, thank you very much! Haven't hit that book yet, but it looks like a romp.
	11:43am Jeff Moore: Do rug-makers call each other "hooker"?
	11:43am cee: is this the place where i can partake in rug talk?
	11:44am steveo: say, there's a CD in there!
	11:45am steveo: @jeff and do they clog up the phone lines of elected officials?
	11:46am ⓘke: Ugh, I hate the for-gringo stuff. I know exactly what you mean. I mistakenly went to one of those when passing through Delaware recently. I should've gone further out of my way to the wrong side of the tracks in Dover.
	11:46am Lixiviated Life: I tell my kids that I've earned the right to say parental things, just because. It gives them fits sometime, which makes it all worthwhile.
	11:50am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Catch you knit wits later!
	11:51am Adrian in London: Right, I'm off out to see a Finnish magician, as you do… Loved the show, Trouble; and RIP France Gall
	11:52am exile-on-hicks-st: @Trouble - My friends have a lovely shop in BK - Breucklen Berber. They were doing their first-ever sale recently. Not sure it’s still on.
	11:52am mary: thanks for intro to Mary Abbott . great show today
	11:52am Sem: Gotta unravel the rest of the day. Thanks, Trouble, been a sweet ride. Be back in the knitting circle next time.
	11:54am Stevel: Thanks for a great show on my day off! Much appreciated!
	11:54am Phil: Perfect Skin. Man I haven’t heard that in about 30 years. Good one!
	11:56am Stevel: Saw Lloyd Cole, solo, about a year ago. Great show.
	11:58am steveo: Bye! Thanks for the show!
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: YES! JOE BATAAN!

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.

	9:55am βrian: Bonjour, Trouble et auditeurs. I hope I haven't missed any commentary.
	9:55am jess: checked the playlist. my phone is lagging way behind.
	9:58am Linda Lee: please know! best way to get through to your representatives is via phone or personal meeting. e-communication is easily ignored.
	9:59am Linda Lee: unfortunately hard knocks training ..
	10:03am hendrix wolfbat: @melinda well that sux since we’re all Americans and should be able to voice our concerns about things like prisoners rights etc.
	10:04am steveo: hi sorry i missed the france gall tribute; my co-op shift was a pain today -- lots of tough mangoes to chop; happy to be here now.
	10:06am dale: ha ha! like this cover.
	10:06am steveo: wow instaclickystar
	10:06am Sem: Certainly, this is excellent.
	10:07am Ricky: freakwater :)
	10:07am Trouble: someone high up at my congressman's office urged me to call all of the NJ congresspeople who obviously were not in my district....
	10:08am Stevel: This cover! Great!
	10:09am MD: RIGHTOUS!!!
	10:09am Aaron Working In Newark: This is great
	10:11am melinda: It does suck, hendrix. But I find it helps to know what is effective and what isn't so I don't misdirect my efforts. You can call or email anyone you want, but I know when I've tried to call my senator and the line is busy it kind of pisses me off to think the line could be tied up by an out-of-state caller.
	10:12am MD: RIGHTOUS!!! AGAIN!!!
	10:12am dale: melinda - or a hooker.
	10:13am βrian: These Filles de Illighadad are popping up everywhere. Lovely.
	10:14am northguineahills: les filles de illighadad , new to me! (must hit the sahel of Western Sahara, Mauritania, and Niger... [well, a bajillion other places too])
	10:16am βrian: Rev. Linkfeister: "Let us ululate."
	10:17am northguineahills: βrian is full of good ideas...
	10:20am βrian: Did folks see reporting about the column in Le Monde? : "une liberté d’importuner" ( "A freedom to bother.")
	10:20am Adrian in London: Given that I broke off from listening to France Gall to listen to the show I'm having a great time today…
	10:20am steveo: For some reason I thought it was new, but Brian Turner played Freakwater / War Pigs 7" almost 20 years ago on February 12, 1998. :) (Oh good, getting my France Gall now -- what a great set.)
	10:21am melinda: @dale haha
	10:28am steveo: Computer # 3 is looking for the right boy for me, and love is guaranteed for both. The computer knows exactly what the right woman is for each man, and luck is about to flow from his file.
	10:29am northguineahills: @steveo: well, that's prophetic, ain't it?
	10:30am mb: Trouble, et al...
	10:31am adampsyche: hi trouble this is a lovely show today!
	10:32am steveo: france gall invented online dating?
	10:32am dale: i didn't know france was married to another singer songwriter www.youtube.com...
	10:37am northguineahills: apparently, steveo. I'm so happy work somewhere that uses metric exclusively (it was frustrating using imperial for gov't jobs and freelance beforehand).
	10:42am βrian: But why? I mean incrementing from 7/32 inch to 1/4 inch is intuitive, no? ... or would that be 15/64?
	10:43am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang! So, so pretty…
	10:44am northguineahills: @βrian: I prefer to work w/ factions w/ prime numbers as the denominator.
	10:45am northguineahills: err.... fractions....
	10:45am steveo: ah, so you're an agitator, are you?
	10:46am listener james from westwood: Guessing this is the live BCBG session from whence that Desir came, on the Free Music Archive, in case anyone else wants to hear the rest of that amazing visit: freemusicarchive.org...
	10:46am βrian: The fraction faction is stubborn, but it really ought to just go away.
	10:47am Passaic River Blues: @Listener James: thank you for the link, sir!
	10:47am Itzall Ablurr: Serge Gainsbourg; LUCKIEST man ever. A great talent, yes. But LUCKY beyond belief.
	10:51am I am the Upsetter: I thought Alexander was John Fahey for a few moments ago.
	10:51am Trouble: yes listener james! true dat
	10:54am Ricky: Allysen Callery:)
	10:54am listener james from westwood: I'm really psyched Cheyenne and the FMA volunteers have gotten so many live sets up. Your Lilian Hak show was one of my faves, and it too is FMA-listed for posterity!
	10:56am thedunkel: another great show today!
	10:57am M: Love your show mainly cuz you play Nina constantly. Thank you.
	10:58am Trouble: merci@thedunkel. and thank you @ listenerjames. merci, and true true, @M. never enough
	10:58am Stevel: What a wonderfully wistful show.
	10:58am Passaic River Blues: This record is so good. "The Backlash Blues" and the closer "Do What You Got to Do" are also stellar.
	11:02am Papayo: wowowow so beautiful
	11:02am Gaylord Fields: Trouble, the good problem I have with your show is that it's too damn good to listen to while I work. But I need to make an exception today, productivity be damned!
	11:03am Papayo: hi Gaylord!
	11:04am mb: What Gaylord said and whatever these birds are chirping about.
	11:04am melinda: I want to hear Nina Simone every week.
	11:05am steveo: f+g=h
	11:05am Gaylord Fields: ¡Buenas tardes, Papayo! Glad we're both enjoying Trouble this morning/afternoon.
	11:06am ranjit: Yeah, I wanna hear Nina Simone every week too
	11:06am ɛɨk: To my knowledge, Europe is indeed not known for quality Mexican cuisine (as there are very few Mexican immigrants -- SAD!), and so Europeans seek it when they visit this side of the pond.
	11:07am steveo: just play stuff off youtube!
	11:09am northguineahills: @ike: It's hard to find actually authentic Mexican food down here in FL. In Berlin, I was horrified at what passed for Mexican (luckily I was staying w/ a Mexican friend there). Good thing I'm damn good at cooking Mexican down here.
	11:09am Gaylord Fields: Trouble, your filler is killer! Sweater Talk should be a regular feature.
	11:09am WO Town Wick: This story about the sweater is amazing!
	11:10am northguineahills: Hey. the last few weeks until today I was wearing a sweater down here in FL! (and my nyc winter coat, and scarf, at least during the mornings and nights)
	11:11am northguineahills: Sweater Talk sounds like an SNL NPR spoof. *cue YLT's 'Autumn Sweater' (except it's winter).
	11:13am ranjit: Trouble, have you seen that Norwegian TV special where they try to beat the world record by going from sheep to sweater in less than 5 hours? tv.nrk.no...
	11:14am Passaic River Blues: Thank you for introducing me to Chloe, Trouble. I've been all over her Soundcloud page since you played that "Recall" track recently.
	11:15am Papayo: space museum is master work of mininal synth. i love this album
	11:22am Papayo: Hey Trouble. Do you like the Antena band?
	11:23am Trouble: antena? isabelle antena? love!!!!!
	11:24am Adrian in London: @ranjit That looks GREAT!!
	11:24am Trouble: omg!!!!! no ranjit, but i know what i am doing when i get off air!!!
	11:25am Papayo: yeah, Camino del sol album is so pretty. :)
	11:25am ranjit: The knit show is in real time, like 8 hours long. Clear the docket!
	11:31am northguineahills: @ranjit: That sounds like something I need to meditate to....
	11:31am Bill W: The NYT obit of France Gall ran a photo that included Serge G, but didn't identify him. That's cold.
	11:32am nah: This Dom la nena is so good
	11:33am Papayo: The accent is from Argentina in this song.
	11:34am Stevel: Bill W: That's a bit odd, especially for the Times. Guessing it was ignorance or, perhaps, an effort not to detract from her (?) Probably overthinking, as a former journo.
	11:34am BronwynB: im very late but im here! hello trouble and everyone!
	11:34am Ricky: @ranjit, my permaculture friends are going to luv this. Thanks.
	11:35am ⓔⓘⓚ: @NGH, well you probably have high standards (as you should), having married one! So I guess it's true that not many Mexicans make that hard right turn down to Florida, America's big goofy wang, when emigrating, eh? I wouldn't either. (No offense.)
	11:38am ⓔⓘⓚ: That said, this FL-based book looks funny. Anybody read this? www.amazon.com...
	11:38am Brian in New Orleans: checking in! will catch up in archives
	11:40am Lixiviated Life: Absolutely LOVED that Pacific Coast Blues. If you can play more like that I'd be very happy. oxoxo
	11:42am northguineahills: @ike: There are Mexicans here (thankfully there are enough tienda mexicanas here, but I can't find every ingredient I need w/o calling my mother-in-law), but most restaurants cater to what gringos think Mexican food should be. I'll just cook my own, thank you very much! Haven't hit that book yet, but it looks like a romp.
	11:43am Jeff Moore: Do rug-makers call each other "hooker"?
	11:43am cee: is this the place where i can partake in rug talk?
	11:44am steveo: say, there's a CD in there!
	11:45am steveo: @jeff and do they clog up the phone lines of elected officials?
	11:46am ⓘke: Ugh, I hate the for-gringo stuff. I know exactly what you mean. I mistakenly went to one of those when passing through Delaware recently. I should've gone further out of my way to the wrong side of the tracks in Dover.
	11:46am Lixiviated Life: I tell my kids that I've earned the right to say parental things, just because. It gives them fits sometime, which makes it all worthwhile.
	11:50am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Catch you knit wits later!
	11:51am Adrian in London: Right, I'm off out to see a Finnish magician, as you do… Loved the show, Trouble; and RIP France Gall
	11:52am exile-on-hicks-st: @Trouble - My friends have a lovely shop in BK - Breucklen Berber. They were doing their first-ever sale recently. Not sure it’s still on.
	11:52am mary: thanks for intro to Mary Abbott . great show today
	11:52am Sem: Gotta unravel the rest of the day. Thanks, Trouble, been a sweet ride. Be back in the knitting circle next time.
	11:54am Stevel: Thanks for a great show on my day off! Much appreciated!
	11:54am Phil: Perfect Skin. Man I haven’t heard that in about 30 years. Good one!
	11:56am Stevel: Saw Lloyd Cole, solo, about a year ago. Great show.
	11:58am steveo: Bye! Thanks for the show!
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: YES! JOE BATAAN!
