	9:07am jvhelluhpipes: This song is beautiful!
	9:08am Trouble: i have a thing for that willie o winsbury song, i play it whenever i see a new version
	9:09am TDK60: Wikipedia has a page on this song -W.O.W.
	9:10am Chris from DC: The Big Huge used to do a really nice version of that one.
	9:10am queems: the new simian mobile disco is a+++++
	9:10am Magda: Good Morning Everyone.
	9:11am Devin B.: This morning's playist art is WOW!
	9:13am melinda: hi all
	9:16am Magda: Dub transmissions are necessary to get the world to that rock steady beat.
	9:17am Davee: Good morning Trouble - loving this dub track!
	9:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, troubled citizens. More on the artwork today: www.haitianart.com...
	9:20am Trouble: this might be an inspiration for next week's show...blog.landr.com...
	9:21am Chris from DC: Wow, yeah that would be great.
	9:22am Magda: Considering that moog fest is going on this week that would be a good follow up. www.moogfest.com Last year Michael Stipe was one of the headline artists.
	9:23am Devin B.: Sounds fun! There are a couple new Laurie Spiegel releases / reissues I'm excited to check out.
	9:23am TDK60: Wobble & Laswell--2 bassists together. // Now if I'm not awake yet, Branca will help.
	9:24am Peter in Sea: Wow, being a synth novice I had never heard of a Buchla; gonna have to check it out. It's Thursday!
	9:24am sphere: hello all. Branca.
	9:24am Itzall Ablurr: That's a neat blog and I am a newly converted (thanks to this show) ardent fan of Suzanne Cipiani. Walter/Wendy Carlos is a long time fav, I used to "check out" that Switched On LP from our library when I was a pup! I had no idea that she was still with us, good to know.
	9:25am meredith: moog! morning all. :)
	9:25am Itzall Ablurr: Doh. "CIANI" (coffee me please).
	9:26am steveo: good morning. sign me up for synth wizards!
	9:26am Chris from DC: Just saw Suzanne Ciani at the Kennedy Center.
	9:27am sphere: how was it, Chris?
	9:27am Mick: Thank you for the Glenn Branca. "Ascension" seems apt.
	9:28am TDK60: 50 years ago, France halted.
	9:28am Chris from DC: @Sphere, really good. With the low end on their sound system it had a little punch too.
	9:29am still b/p: That Haitian art site lets you go to a further page to change bg color around artwork....see how it will look against your wall color.
	9:32am Ken From Hyde Park: @still b/p - Yeah, I noticed that. The painting worked in just about every combination I tried.
	9:33am Magda: Suprised you did not post birds in branches. www.haitianart.com...
	9:33am larry of lackawack: I can't walk my dogs. They want more.
	9:33am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Chris (from DC), that must have been a wonderful experience, I'm jealous!
	9:34am Chris from DC: We were very lucky to get that show.
	9:35am Itzall Ablurr: I could listen to this Apollo Crew all day long. Damn, what a wonderful, exciting time to be a kid that was!
	9:36am Itzall Ablurr: Well, maybe not the Tricky-dick part, but hey.
	9:37am Ken From Hyde Park: It's not brain surgery, it's rocket science!
	9:37am Mikula: Trouble--play Whitey's on the Moon next!
	9:37am Webhamster Henry: I wonder if you can get the entire audio transcripts from all the moonshots?
	9:37am BronwynB: hello trouble and everyone :)
	9:37am Rich in Washington: We had that record. My older brother built the huge Saturn V model it came with. He wouldn't let me touch the model, which was unfair. It was pretty cool. You could take apart all the stages and even see the astronauts inside the command module.
	9:38am larry of lackawack: There is no sound on the moon. Where are you going?
	9:38am Rich in Washington: I believe so, WH. Remember during the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, they played all the audio in realtime over the anniversary date, from launch, to landing, to return splashdown.
	9:38am Peter in Sea: Mikula: Yes, I second that!
	9:39am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Webhamster Henry, it seems like we should be able to, I mean our parents paid for it!
	9:39am still b/p: Everybody pretty chill in the Apollo talk. Nobody freaking out in a moonage workday.
	9:39am mr_mike: The day they politicized the moon
	9:40am Rich in Washington: Itzall: but we got all those technological trickle-downs. Tang, for instance.
	9:40am TDK60: Didn't know Branca died. // Never liked the Stars and Stripes flappin' in the wind up there.
	9:41am Walt: Revell was the plastic model company, the "Moonlighter" record was a tie-in for the company's Saturn V rocket model kit.
	9:42am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Rich (in Washinton), true dat, all the flavors of the TANG. Not to mention freakin' aluminum foil and awesome plastic assembly kits!
	9:42am steveo: i'll probably never get to go to the moon
	9:42am Trouble: trailer for 'mercury 13' www.youtube.com...
	9:43am Adrian in London: Just in from lunch: hi Trouble and Troubled minds
	9:44am Roberto: The Brandenburgs kick ass. That harpsichord solo in the first movement of the Fifth -- I can imagine the audiences of J.S. Bach's time holding up candles (since lighters hadn't been invented yet).
	9:44am Webhamster Henry: I don't think I had that model, but I know I made a pencil holder in shop class that looked like the LEM. It was maple, and wore down a lot of lathe chisels.
	9:44am Itzall Ablurr: Re; Mercury 13. Those are some badasses. I think I have a major retro-crush now.
	9:44am Mikula: Yes--watch Mercury 13!
	9:46am sphere: The moon program also gave us microprocessor technology.
	9:46am Rich in Washington: Re:Re: Mercury 13: Whoa! I've never heard of that! That looks awesome!
	9:47am steveo: i love it when i go to clickystar something and it's already clickied -- consistency!
	9:47am still b/p: Someone could make nice art/designs in relief if they could gather up enough Pillsbury Space Food Sticks.
	9:47am SSS: The space program gave us the WalkMan....
	9:48am Itzall Ablurr: Dear sphere, that's a fact and before that the rooms full of IBM computers necessary for a space program paled in comparison to the average "smart phone".
	9:49am queems: i love this song so much
	9:49am Rich in Washington: I forgot about Pillsbury Space Food sticks. God. I grew up right on that peak of space program/Apollo mania. It seems like every cereal, fruit juice, etc, was cashing in by giving away some astronaut related gee-gaw, gimcrack, etc.
	9:50am Linda Lee: Trouble!! thanks so much for today's lovely, grey day music.
	9:51am meredith: OMG Liz Phair. This is a top ten album.
	9:52am Magda: I own her first 3 albums.
	9:53am TDK60: "We don't give a damn about borders." -Paris graffiti, May '68.
	9:56am Linda Lee: that's beautiful graf, TDK60!
	9:56am Chris from DC: Yay, Durutti Column
	9:57am βrian: Any Space Food left?
	9:57am Itzall Ablurr: Quick, cover the dog's ears!!!
	9:58am Linda Lee: when we went to the moon we were led to be awed by the technology & not look closely at our shared earth. some of us got it, though.
	9:58am Webhamster Henry: Minnie's high range competes with my tea kettle whistle!
	9:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:58am Magda: YESSSSSSS MINNIE RIPERTON!!!!
	9:59am melinda: Listening in the other room I couldn't identify the singer, then she hit the high notes.
	9:59am TDK60: Bonjour Linda L! Well, for that matter all you Troublistas.
	10:00am Linda Lee: there's a fine sample: "that's enuf!" hey TDK60! hope you're having a fine day.
	10:01am βrian: I recall traveling through miles of orange orchards in the south of Spain during that era. When we made it to the hotel and ordered orange juice, we were served Tang®.
	10:01am melinda: When my late cat Olive was a kitten her voice was especially high and we would call her Minnie.
	10:02am Linda Lee: ha! the Minnie Kitty! :-)
	10:02am βrian: Different from Minnie Pearl, right?
	10:02am Magda: I love this cover. I try to channel it every day. img.discogs.com...
	10:03am Linda Lee: @Brian ~ there's a tale of global capitalism right there.
	10:05am Fashion Tashjian: Good day Trouble & Co. Checking in from Yerevan.
	10:09am ausmanx: hey, my friend from yerevan! hope you're doing well! and to you dj trouble, it's been a long time cos i don't work on thursdays normally
	10:10am Fashion Tashjian: Ah the good man ausmanx. Hehe, yeah everything is still great here, never better!
	10:12am mr_mike: when this came out I made the intro my ringtone. it still reminds me of a phone call
	10:13am βrian: Did the folks in the parking lot wave when you played The Postal Service, Trouble?
	10:15am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This is pretty epic Bronski Beat.
	10:17am Linda Lee: always loved bronski beat! speaking of out musicians, i hear the new Queen biopic doesn't touch Freddie's sexuality or AIDS. ridiculous!
	10:17am Trouble: ha ha @ brian. I was too busy dancing to notice, but i did have a very strange conversation over there this morning when i mailed some letters.
	10:19am TDK60: I recall one of the early Moon astronauts spilled orange juice into his suit, out there, said he'd never drink orange juice again. Mighta been Tang.
	10:19am Trouble: good morning @fashion tashjian and to one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities
	10:20am TDK60: And on a clear day, Yerevan has quite a view. www.bing.com...
	10:21am Fashion Tashjian: Gotta say that's one of the greatest compounded sentiments I've received along with this 12" mix.
	10:21am rbx: dub will tear us apart!
	10:22am Davee: I love it!
	10:22am Linda Lee: love this. perfect.
	10:22am tallbuildings: this is great
	10:22am Itzall Ablurr: But- ümlauts over a? Real? Imagined?
	10:22am βrian: Daub will patch us back together.
	10:22am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: So Donna Summer did I Feel Love....heard it on The Martian soundtrack and thought that sounds like 1978 all over again.
	10:22am moe: Trouble on my mind...
	10:23am Linda Lee: yes, Neil, she did!
	10:23am Linda Lee: and how!
	10:24am Trouble: real@itzall a blurr, would i make that up?
	10:24am Magda: Dub will dab the gray day blues away.
	10:24am Davee: Trouble at Amazon - Save on Trouble - Amazon.com
	10:26am βrian: Apocalyptic Diacritic \| Döömläüt doomlaut.bandcamp.com...
	10:27am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Trouble, mia culpa. Of COURSE you wouldn't.
	10:28am emily: You are blowing my mind this morning, Trouble
	10:28am Itzall Ablurr: Dear βrian, that's so great!
	10:28am Trouble: no more like i couldn't,@ itzallablurr. you know i can't work this pc computer and the accent marks
	10:28am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This set is all connected somehow, nice work Trouble!
	10:29am Trouble: merci @emily! i think that's a good thing...
	10:30am emily: its a very good thing. semester is over (all but the grading) weather is shtty. the world is fcked. But . . . trouble is working overtime to throw us into a good m**d
	10:30am Trouble: jimmy somerville in one of my fave tilda swinton movies:www.youtube.com...
	10:30am TDK60: Ever seen the Armenian alphabet? Unique.
	10:33am emily: now you are really freaking me out (queen of the house)
	10:34am Bill W: Has this replaced the Bewitched theme as your personal anthem, Trouble?
	10:36am Trouble: hah! maybe @ billlw!~~
	10:39am Bill W: haha, I knew it!
	10:39am meredith: This reminds me of being home sick from school :)
	10:39am Davee: Nice, this would be a good opening theme for Trouble. Got my volte!
	10:39am Passaic River Blues: A set for the ages!
	10:40am Roberto: I used to call it We Bitched.
	10:41am Roberto: 1964.
	10:41am TDK60: Proto-feminist TV?
	10:41am Webhamster Henry: Sam magically changed the actor playing Darren!
	10:41am Davee: Wasn't there 2 Darrens?
	10:42am Webhamster Henry: And I knew a Tabitha who was named after Tabitha. Also: Paul Lynde.
	10:42am Roberto: Darren was her first husband. Then she divorced him and married Durwood.
	10:42am βrian: Well, there were two Darrens.
	10:42am βrian: @Roberto: Really?
	10:43am Davee: Did she wear out the first Darren?
	10:43am Passaic River Blues: Wow, a Jah Wobble memoir sounds intriguing!
	10:43am meredith: there were 2 Darrens. Yes
	10:44am Davee: Don't you wish you could just wiggle your nose and get things done?
	10:44am Roberto: Durwood was Endora's derogatory nickname (one of many) for Darren.
	10:45am βrian: Tabitha has to do the wiggle manually.
	10:45am Roberto: It's the 25th anniversary of Exile in Guyville's release.
	10:45am βrian: Or, digitally, I guess.
	10:45am meredith: @Roberto, oh yes. Durwood. LOl. The 2 Darrins were both named Dick in real life. I always liked that
	10:46am Hughie Considine: Also a lot of bands with very "competent" guitarists who never wrote a song as memorable as Liz Phair.
	10:46am Hughie Considine: Oh, man. I deeply love this song.
	10:46am frozen_peas: @meredith: "Dick Sargent, Dick York. Sargent York." (Wayne's World)
	10:47am Bill W: Bewitched ran EIGHT years! ... Well of course her mother was amazing, she was Agnes Moorehead (also Citizen Kane's mother).
	10:47am tallbuildings: @Hughie: me too. one of my all time favorites.
	10:47am Phillippe Bastille: Niiice Billy Bragg.
	10:48am meredith: @Frozen_peas you just blew my mind!
	10:48am David in London: Billy Bragg’s guitar never sounded better than on this track.
	10:48am Roberto: Dick One starred in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes.
	10:48am Hughie Considine: Billy Bragg was a great discovery for me @tallbuildings. And yes, this song is among his very best. I even dig the totally over-the-top cover by Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin.
	10:49am TDK60: I dig Billy B.
	10:50am βrian: I recall a made-for-TV movie with Elizabeth Montgomery, about a woman trying to get the police to take her rape seriously.
	10:50am tallbuildings: @Hughie: looking up that cover now.
	10:51am meredith: I'm going to listen to the archive of this show on loop for many many days. Happiness <3
	10:55am βrian: Matador is totally killer.
	10:56am Trouble: thanks @meredith
	10:57am Webhamster Henry: The only thing this show needs is some Blossom Dearie.
	10:58am TDK60: Brigid M.P. caught my ear recently, with another song, on WFMU.
	10:59am Itzall Ablurr: Speaking of Twilight Zone (Roberto), the one with Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery where they are the last survivors of (some unnamed) apocalypse. DANG was she hot in that! Well, everything really.
	11:02am Hughie Considine: I love Blossom dearly.
	11:03am austin: Love NJTofS
	11:03am TDK60: If in NYC, anyone ever seen the fellow who rides his bike around, playing cassettes of Edith Piaf? (The old 40s tune reminded.)
	11:04am mb: Nice! "Star Eyes" is my favorite tune Bird made popular. Maybe a Top 10 favorite "jazz" song for me. I thought I had heard all the versions but apparently not... Thank you TROUBLE!!!
	11:06am jdaFromCologne: off early today… bye trouble… nice set.
	11:07am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Elizabeth Montgomery was SMOKING hot. Wow.
	11:07am Roberto: Oh right, Samantha was in TZ too. And yes, she looked fantastic.
	11:07am steveo: new to me, love this. “It's kind of a double bluff calling it the National Jazz Trio Of Scotland,” says Bill Wells of a group that is famously neither a jazz band or a trio. “I was trying to be kind of perverse about it, calling it jazz and then deliberately not having anything that actually related to jazz.” -from their bandcamp
	11:09am TDK60: Always wanted to start a dark noise band called something like Dry Creek String Band.
	11:10am TDK60: Gosh, chatty today. Gotta leave soon too...
	11:11am Trouble: any one know who the vocalist was on that stephane grappelli tune? i can't remember
	11:14am Dean: Beryl Davis
	11:14am Dean: https://www.discogs.com/Stephane-Grappelly-And-His-Quartet-Star-Eyes-Heavenly-Music/release/9564466
	11:14am Trouble: thanks @ dean!! yes that's her!
	11:15am Rich in Washington: This reminds me of me wanting to write a TV show about a detective who solves crimes by talking to whales.
	11:16am TDK60: You might see the Edith Piaf bicyclist hanging at Columbus Circle. Black guy with dreads, sunglasses, beret. Plays cassettes. Plays Armstrong, Bird, too.
	11:16am Webhamster Henry: One more thing, Flipper...
	11:17am Rich in Washington: Yes. Any aquatic mammal. Pinnipeds make up the snitch aspect, like Angel on Rockford, or Starsky and Hutch's Huggy Bear.
	11:18am Adrian in London: Did you see the video of the whale that protected the scientist from the shark? www.youtube.com...
	11:18am Rich in Washington: all set in a marina/port town.
	11:18am Adrian in London: @Rich in Washington I would watch that show
	11:18am Rich in Washington: No! maybe I can lease the footage!
	11:19am Ken From Hyde Park: More stuff to look out for, microfibers in your beer: www.inforum.com...
	11:20am sphere: @Rich in Washington - Maybe you could have a shark jump at the season finale.
	11:20am still b/p: Spermsky and Hump.
	11:21am Linda Lee: what perfect sounds this morning. thank you Trouble!
	11:21am Ken From Hyde Park: The detective's off-shift buddy could have the name Cliff Hanger.
	11:21am Rich in Washington: The shark will jump over a man on a motorcycle. End scene.
	11:23am Adrian in London: CSI Atlantis
	11:25am TDK60: Yes, Trouble, the music fits my ears today; leaving the building for the subway, au revoir.
	11:26am Webhamster Henry: @Rich in Washington Huggy Bear (Antonio Fargas) had a cameo on the CW superhero show Black Lightning.
	11:27am Trouble: 50 years since the french may 1968 riots. www.history.com...
	11:30am Linda Lee: i'd love seeing a translation of 'le cri' ~ where could it be?
	11:30am Linda Lee: lovely piece.
	11:31am Trouble: matinda kamuena www.youtube.com...
	11:32am northguineahills: But I wasn't a student at Sorbonne yet! (still ain't)
	11:40am still b/p: Google French protest posters 1968 for great graphic flavor of le moment.
	11:42am northguineahills: I love the Situationists take on the event,
	11:43am David in London: ‘Be realistic- demand the impossible.’
	11:46am Webhamster Henry: Danny the Red: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:46am northguineahills: I never had it to begin w/....
	11:48am wolfg: the crime drama defines modern individualism (according to Siegfried Kracauer) it tells us who we are
	11:51am northguineahills: my parents love CSI and other crime dramas. The only one I still like is Columbo.
	11:51am wolfg: more accurately: it defines modern subjectivity, you know, in the sense of political philosophy
	11:52am βrian: @NGH: "Just one more thing ..."
	11:52am northguineahills: @11:52 βrian: Jaja!
	11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: I don't remember much of the shows, but the theme songs were great: Hawaii 5-O, Mannix, Rockford Files, Barney Miller, etc.
	11:53am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Law and Order is pretty fricking awesome, especially Lenny.
	11:54am Chris from DC: At it's best Homicide was very good.
	11:54am Itzall Ablurr: Make mine Perry Mason, black & white only, please.
	11:54am Dean: I met Peter Falk in the summer of 1984. He attended a production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," performed in Italian by Piccolo Teatro di Milano at UCLA.
	11:54am Passaic River Blues: Crime is a great vehicle for investigating all of our fears, from the elemental and base fears of violence to subtler fears of being an atomized person awash in an uncaring and indifferent world, caught in the jaws of a mechanistic society. It also is a great way to structure narrative.
	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the hour: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan (With Meghan's special guest, the bearded poet.) ====> wfmu.org...
	11:55am βrian: Crime Crimea Crimea river.
	11:56am Linda Lee: thanks for a really lovely show Trouble!! always a sonic treat.
	11:56am Dean: Crime was also a kick-ass SF punk band. Saw them in LA.
	11:56am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble!
	11:56am Linda Lee: nice summation there, PRB!
	11:57am Linda Lee: i don't 'get' crime drama's appeal, but that sure makes sense.
	11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Trouble!
	11:58am ron in S FL: Great set today, thanks!
	11:58am Linda Lee: not sure how we assuage our fears by demonizing those who don't conform to automized society's morality, but so be it. somethin'.
	11:59am Trouble: merci for sitting in today. see you next week!
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: @Brian: ahahaha conjugating portmanteaux, yo! @Trouble: Thank you once again!
	11:59am Linda Lee: brava!!!
	12:00pm Passaic River Blues: @LL: thank you.
	4:39pm Johnny Cash Money: am I late? lovely show

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from May 17, 2018

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.

	9:03am sugarplumfairywolf: Hello! This will always be Wicker Man music to me.
	9:05am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning, Trouble and the Gang. Cool piece by Levoy Exil, those patterns are swimmy.
	9:07am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning all
	9:07am jvhelluhpipes: This song is beautiful!
	9:08am Trouble: i have a thing for that willie o winsbury song, i play it whenever i see a new version
	9:09am TDK60: Wikipedia has a page on this song -W.O.W.
	9:10am Chris from DC: The Big Huge used to do a really nice version of that one.
	9:10am queems: the new simian mobile disco is a+++++
	9:10am Magda: Good Morning Everyone.
	9:11am Devin B.: This morning's playist art is WOW!
	9:13am melinda: hi all
	9:16am Magda: Dub transmissions are necessary to get the world to that rock steady beat.
	9:17am Davee: Good morning Trouble - loving this dub track!
	9:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, troubled citizens. More on the artwork today: www.haitianart.com...
	9:20am Trouble: this might be an inspiration for next week's show...blog.landr.com...
	9:21am Chris from DC: Wow, yeah that would be great.
	9:22am Magda: Considering that moog fest is going on this week that would be a good follow up. www.moogfest.com Last year Michael Stipe was one of the headline artists.
	9:23am Devin B.: Sounds fun! There are a couple new Laurie Spiegel releases / reissues I'm excited to check out.
	9:23am TDK60: Wobble & Laswell--2 bassists together. // Now if I'm not awake yet, Branca will help.
	9:24am Peter in Sea: Wow, being a synth novice I had never heard of a Buchla; gonna have to check it out. It's Thursday!
	9:24am sphere: hello all. Branca.
	9:24am Itzall Ablurr: That's a neat blog and I am a newly converted (thanks to this show) ardent fan of Suzanne Cipiani. Walter/Wendy Carlos is a long time fav, I used to "check out" that Switched On LP from our library when I was a pup! I had no idea that she was still with us, good to know.
	9:25am meredith: moog! morning all. :)
	9:25am Itzall Ablurr: Doh. "CIANI" (coffee me please).
	9:26am steveo: good morning. sign me up for synth wizards!
	9:26am Chris from DC: Just saw Suzanne Ciani at the Kennedy Center.
	9:27am sphere: how was it, Chris?
	9:27am Mick: Thank you for the Glenn Branca. "Ascension" seems apt.
	9:28am TDK60: 50 years ago, France halted.
	9:28am Chris from DC: @Sphere, really good. With the low end on their sound system it had a little punch too.
	9:29am still b/p: That Haitian art site lets you go to a further page to change bg color around artwork....see how it will look against your wall color.
	9:32am Ken From Hyde Park: @still b/p - Yeah, I noticed that. The painting worked in just about every combination I tried.
	9:33am Magda: Suprised you did not post birds in branches. www.haitianart.com...
	9:33am larry of lackawack: I can't walk my dogs. They want more.
	9:33am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Chris (from DC), that must have been a wonderful experience, I'm jealous!
	9:34am Chris from DC: We were very lucky to get that show.
	9:35am Itzall Ablurr: I could listen to this Apollo Crew all day long. Damn, what a wonderful, exciting time to be a kid that was!
	9:36am Itzall Ablurr: Well, maybe not the Tricky-dick part, but hey.
	9:37am Ken From Hyde Park: It's not brain surgery, it's rocket science!
	9:37am Mikula: Trouble--play Whitey's on the Moon next!
	9:37am Webhamster Henry: I wonder if you can get the entire audio transcripts from all the moonshots?
	9:37am BronwynB: hello trouble and everyone :)
	9:37am Rich in Washington: We had that record. My older brother built the huge Saturn V model it came with. He wouldn't let me touch the model, which was unfair. It was pretty cool. You could take apart all the stages and even see the astronauts inside the command module.
	9:38am larry of lackawack: There is no sound on the moon. Where are you going?
	9:38am Rich in Washington: I believe so, WH. Remember during the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11, they played all the audio in realtime over the anniversary date, from launch, to landing, to return splashdown.
	9:38am Peter in Sea: Mikula: Yes, I second that!
	9:39am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Webhamster Henry, it seems like we should be able to, I mean our parents paid for it!
	9:39am still b/p: Everybody pretty chill in the Apollo talk. Nobody freaking out in a moonage workday.
	9:39am mr_mike: The day they politicized the moon
	9:40am Rich in Washington: Itzall: but we got all those technological trickle-downs. Tang, for instance.
	9:40am TDK60: Didn't know Branca died. // Never liked the Stars and Stripes flappin' in the wind up there.
	9:41am Walt: Revell was the plastic model company, the "Moonlighter" record was a tie-in for the company's Saturn V rocket model kit.
	9:42am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Rich (in Washinton), true dat, all the flavors of the TANG. Not to mention freakin' aluminum foil and awesome plastic assembly kits!
	9:42am steveo: i'll probably never get to go to the moon
	9:42am Trouble: trailer for 'mercury 13' www.youtube.com...
	9:43am Adrian in London: Just in from lunch: hi Trouble and Troubled minds
	9:44am Roberto: The Brandenburgs kick ass. That harpsichord solo in the first movement of the Fifth -- I can imagine the audiences of J.S. Bach's time holding up candles (since lighters hadn't been invented yet).
	9:44am Webhamster Henry: I don't think I had that model, but I know I made a pencil holder in shop class that looked like the LEM. It was maple, and wore down a lot of lathe chisels.
	9:44am Itzall Ablurr: Re; Mercury 13. Those are some badasses. I think I have a major retro-crush now.
	9:44am Mikula: Yes--watch Mercury 13!
	9:46am sphere: The moon program also gave us microprocessor technology.
	9:46am Rich in Washington: Re:Re: Mercury 13: Whoa! I've never heard of that! That looks awesome!
	9:47am steveo: i love it when i go to clickystar something and it's already clickied -- consistency!
	9:47am still b/p: Someone could make nice art/designs in relief if they could gather up enough Pillsbury Space Food Sticks.
	9:47am SSS: The space program gave us the WalkMan....
	9:48am Itzall Ablurr: Dear sphere, that's a fact and before that the rooms full of IBM computers necessary for a space program paled in comparison to the average "smart phone".
	9:49am queems: i love this song so much
	9:49am Rich in Washington: I forgot about Pillsbury Space Food sticks. God. I grew up right on that peak of space program/Apollo mania. It seems like every cereal, fruit juice, etc, was cashing in by giving away some astronaut related gee-gaw, gimcrack, etc.
	9:50am Linda Lee: Trouble!! thanks so much for today's lovely, grey day music.
	9:51am meredith: OMG Liz Phair. This is a top ten album.
	9:52am Magda: I own her first 3 albums.
	9:53am TDK60: "We don't give a damn about borders." -Paris graffiti, May '68.
	9:56am Linda Lee: that's beautiful graf, TDK60!
	9:56am Chris from DC: Yay, Durutti Column
	9:57am βrian: Any Space Food left?
	9:57am Itzall Ablurr: Quick, cover the dog's ears!!!
	9:58am Linda Lee: when we went to the moon we were led to be awed by the technology & not look closely at our shared earth. some of us got it, though.
	9:58am Webhamster Henry: Minnie's high range competes with my tea kettle whistle!
	9:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:58am Magda: YESSSSSSS MINNIE RIPERTON!!!!
	9:59am melinda: Listening in the other room I couldn't identify the singer, then she hit the high notes.
	9:59am TDK60: Bonjour Linda L! Well, for that matter all you Troublistas.
	10:00am Linda Lee: there's a fine sample: "that's enuf!" hey TDK60! hope you're having a fine day.
	10:01am βrian: I recall traveling through miles of orange orchards in the south of Spain during that era. When we made it to the hotel and ordered orange juice, we were served Tang®.
	10:01am melinda: When my late cat Olive was a kitten her voice was especially high and we would call her Minnie.
	10:02am Linda Lee: ha! the Minnie Kitty! :-)
	10:02am βrian: Different from Minnie Pearl, right?
	10:02am Magda: I love this cover. I try to channel it every day. img.discogs.com...
	10:03am Linda Lee: @Brian ~ there's a tale of global capitalism right there.
	10:05am Fashion Tashjian: Good day Trouble & Co. Checking in from Yerevan.
	10:09am ausmanx: hey, my friend from yerevan! hope you're doing well! and to you dj trouble, it's been a long time cos i don't work on thursdays normally
	10:10am Fashion Tashjian: Ah the good man ausmanx. Hehe, yeah everything is still great here, never better!
	10:12am mr_mike: when this came out I made the intro my ringtone. it still reminds me of a phone call
	10:13am βrian: Did the folks in the parking lot wave when you played The Postal Service, Trouble?
	10:15am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This is pretty epic Bronski Beat.
	10:17am Linda Lee: always loved bronski beat! speaking of out musicians, i hear the new Queen biopic doesn't touch Freddie's sexuality or AIDS. ridiculous!
	10:17am Trouble: ha ha @ brian. I was too busy dancing to notice, but i did have a very strange conversation over there this morning when i mailed some letters.
	10:19am TDK60: I recall one of the early Moon astronauts spilled orange juice into his suit, out there, said he'd never drink orange juice again. Mighta been Tang.
	10:19am Trouble: good morning @fashion tashjian and to one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities
	10:20am TDK60: And on a clear day, Yerevan has quite a view. www.bing.com...
	10:21am Fashion Tashjian: Gotta say that's one of the greatest compounded sentiments I've received along with this 12" mix.
	10:21am rbx: dub will tear us apart!
	10:22am Davee: I love it!
	10:22am Linda Lee: love this. perfect.
	10:22am tallbuildings: this is great
	10:22am Itzall Ablurr: But- ümlauts over a? Real? Imagined?
	10:22am βrian: Daub will patch us back together.
	10:22am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: So Donna Summer did I Feel Love....heard it on The Martian soundtrack and thought that sounds like 1978 all over again.
	10:22am moe: Trouble on my mind...
	10:23am Linda Lee: yes, Neil, she did!
	10:23am Linda Lee: and how!
	10:24am Trouble: real@itzall a blurr, would i make that up?
	10:24am Magda: Dub will dab the gray day blues away.
	10:24am Davee: Trouble at Amazon - Save on Trouble - Amazon.com
	10:26am βrian: Apocalyptic Diacritic \| Döömläüt doomlaut.bandcamp.com...
	10:27am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Trouble, mia culpa. Of COURSE you wouldn't.
	10:28am emily: You are blowing my mind this morning, Trouble
	10:28am Itzall Ablurr: Dear βrian, that's so great!
	10:28am Trouble: no more like i couldn't,@ itzallablurr. you know i can't work this pc computer and the accent marks
	10:28am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This set is all connected somehow, nice work Trouble!
	10:29am Trouble: merci @emily! i think that's a good thing...

	10:30am Trouble: jimmy somerville in one of my fave tilda swinton movies:www.youtube.com...
	10:30am TDK60: Ever seen the Armenian alphabet? Unique.
	10:33am emily: now you are really freaking me out (queen of the house)
	10:34am Bill W: Has this replaced the Bewitched theme as your personal anthem, Trouble?
	10:36am Trouble: hah! maybe @ billlw!~~
	10:39am Bill W: haha, I knew it!
	10:39am meredith: This reminds me of being home sick from school :)
	10:39am Davee: Nice, this would be a good opening theme for Trouble. Got my volte!
	10:39am Passaic River Blues: A set for the ages!
	10:40am Roberto: I used to call it We Bitched.
	10:41am Roberto: 1964.
	10:41am TDK60: Proto-feminist TV?
	10:41am Webhamster Henry: Sam magically changed the actor playing Darren!
	10:41am Davee: Wasn't there 2 Darrens?
	10:42am Webhamster Henry: And I knew a Tabitha who was named after Tabitha. Also: Paul Lynde.
	10:42am Roberto: Darren was her first husband. Then she divorced him and married Durwood.
	10:42am βrian: Well, there were two Darrens.
	10:42am βrian: @Roberto: Really?
	10:43am Davee: Did she wear out the first Darren?
	10:43am Passaic River Blues: Wow, a Jah Wobble memoir sounds intriguing!
	10:43am meredith: there were 2 Darrens. Yes
	10:44am Davee: Don't you wish you could just wiggle your nose and get things done?
	10:44am Roberto: Durwood was Endora's derogatory nickname (one of many) for Darren.
	10:45am βrian: Tabitha has to do the wiggle manually.
	10:45am Roberto: It's the 25th anniversary of Exile in Guyville's release.
	10:45am βrian: Or, digitally, I guess.
	10:45am meredith: @Roberto, oh yes. Durwood. LOl. The 2 Darrins were both named Dick in real life. I always liked that
	10:46am Hughie Considine: Also a lot of bands with very "competent" guitarists who never wrote a song as memorable as Liz Phair.
	10:46am Hughie Considine: Oh, man. I deeply love this song.
	10:46am frozen_peas: @meredith: "Dick Sargent, Dick York. Sargent York." (Wayne's World)
	10:47am Bill W: Bewitched ran EIGHT years! ... Well of course her mother was amazing, she was Agnes Moorehead (also Citizen Kane's mother).
	10:47am tallbuildings: @Hughie: me too. one of my all time favorites.
	10:47am Phillippe Bastille: Niiice Billy Bragg.
	10:48am meredith: @Frozen_peas you just blew my mind!
	10:48am David in London: Billy Bragg’s guitar never sounded better than on this track.
	10:48am Roberto: Dick One starred in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes.
	10:48am Hughie Considine: Billy Bragg was a great discovery for me @tallbuildings. And yes, this song is among his very best. I even dig the totally over-the-top cover by Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin.
	10:49am TDK60: I dig Billy B.
	10:50am βrian: I recall a made-for-TV movie with Elizabeth Montgomery, about a woman trying to get the police to take her rape seriously.
	10:50am tallbuildings: @Hughie: looking up that cover now.
	10:51am meredith: I'm going to listen to the archive of this show on loop for many many days. Happiness <3
	10:55am βrian: Matador is totally killer.
	10:56am Trouble: thanks @meredith
	10:57am Webhamster Henry: The only thing this show needs is some Blossom Dearie.
	10:58am TDK60: Brigid M.P. caught my ear recently, with another song, on WFMU.
	10:59am Itzall Ablurr: Speaking of Twilight Zone (Roberto), the one with Charles Bronson and Elizabeth Montgomery where they are the last survivors of (some unnamed) apocalypse. DANG was she hot in that! Well, everything really.
	11:02am Hughie Considine: I love Blossom dearly.
	11:03am austin: Love NJTofS
	11:03am TDK60: If in NYC, anyone ever seen the fellow who rides his bike around, playing cassettes of Edith Piaf? (The old 40s tune reminded.)
	11:04am mb: Nice! "Star Eyes" is my favorite tune Bird made popular. Maybe a Top 10 favorite "jazz" song for me. I thought I had heard all the versions but apparently not... Thank you TROUBLE!!!
	11:06am jdaFromCologne: off early today… bye trouble… nice set.
	11:07am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Elizabeth Montgomery was SMOKING hot. Wow.
	11:07am Roberto: Oh right, Samantha was in TZ too. And yes, she looked fantastic.
	11:07am steveo: new to me, love this. “It's kind of a double bluff calling it the National Jazz Trio Of Scotland,” says Bill Wells of a group that is famously neither a jazz band or a trio. “I was trying to be kind of perverse about it, calling it jazz and then deliberately not having anything that actually related to jazz.” -from their bandcamp
	11:09am TDK60: Always wanted to start a dark noise band called something like Dry Creek String Band.
	11:10am TDK60: Gosh, chatty today. Gotta leave soon too...
	11:11am Trouble: any one know who the vocalist was on that stephane grappelli tune? i can't remember
	11:14am Dean: Beryl Davis
	11:14am Dean: https://www.discogs.com/Stephane-Grappelly-And-His-Quartet-Star-Eyes-Heavenly-Music/release/9564466
	11:14am Trouble: thanks @ dean!! yes that's her!
	11:15am Rich in Washington: This reminds me of me wanting to write a TV show about a detective who solves crimes by talking to whales.
	11:16am TDK60: You might see the Edith Piaf bicyclist hanging at Columbus Circle. Black guy with dreads, sunglasses, beret. Plays cassettes. Plays Armstrong, Bird, too.
	11:16am Webhamster Henry: One more thing, Flipper...
	11:17am Rich in Washington: Yes. Any aquatic mammal. Pinnipeds make up the snitch aspect, like Angel on Rockford, or Starsky and Hutch's Huggy Bear.
	11:18am Adrian in London: Did you see the video of the whale that protected the scientist from the shark? www.youtube.com...
	11:18am Rich in Washington: all set in a marina/port town.
	11:18am Adrian in London: @Rich in Washington I would watch that show
	11:18am Rich in Washington: No! maybe I can lease the footage!
	11:19am Ken From Hyde Park: More stuff to look out for, microfibers in your beer: www.inforum.com...
	11:20am sphere: @Rich in Washington - Maybe you could have a shark jump at the season finale.
	11:20am still b/p: Spermsky and Hump.
	11:21am Linda Lee: what perfect sounds this morning. thank you Trouble!
	11:21am Ken From Hyde Park: The detective's off-shift buddy could have the name Cliff Hanger.
	11:21am Rich in Washington: The shark will jump over a man on a motorcycle. End scene.
	11:23am Adrian in London: CSI Atlantis
	11:25am TDK60: Yes, Trouble, the music fits my ears today; leaving the building for the subway, au revoir.
	11:26am Webhamster Henry: @Rich in Washington Huggy Bear (Antonio Fargas) had a cameo on the CW superhero show Black Lightning.
	11:27am Trouble: 50 years since the french may 1968 riots. www.history.com...
	11:30am Linda Lee: i'd love seeing a translation of 'le cri' ~ where could it be?
	11:30am Linda Lee: lovely piece.
	11:31am Trouble: matinda kamuena www.youtube.com...
	11:32am northguineahills: But I wasn't a student at Sorbonne yet! (still ain't)
	11:40am still b/p: Google French protest posters 1968 for great graphic flavor of le moment.
	11:42am northguineahills: I love the Situationists take on the event,
	11:43am David in London: ‘Be realistic- demand the impossible.’
	11:46am Webhamster Henry: Danny the Red: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:46am northguineahills: I never had it to begin w/....
	11:48am wolfg: the crime drama defines modern individualism (according to Siegfried Kracauer) it tells us who we are
	11:51am northguineahills: my parents love CSI and other crime dramas. The only one I still like is Columbo.
	11:51am wolfg: more accurately: it defines modern subjectivity, you know, in the sense of political philosophy
	11:52am βrian: @NGH: "Just one more thing ..."
	11:52am northguineahills: @11:52 βrian: Jaja!
	11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: I don't remember much of the shows, but the theme songs were great: Hawaii 5-O, Mannix, Rockford Files, Barney Miller, etc.
	11:53am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Law and Order is pretty fricking awesome, especially Lenny.
	11:54am Chris from DC: At it's best Homicide was very good.
	11:54am Itzall Ablurr: Make mine Perry Mason, black & white only, please.
	11:54am Dean: I met Peter Falk in the summer of 1984. He attended a production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," performed in Italian by Piccolo Teatro di Milano at UCLA.
	11:54am Passaic River Blues: Crime is a great vehicle for investigating all of our fears, from the elemental and base fears of violence to subtler fears of being an atomized person awash in an uncaring and indifferent world, caught in the jaws of a mechanistic society. It also is a great way to structure narrative.
	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the hour: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan (With Meghan's special guest, the bearded poet.) ====> wfmu.org...
	11:55am βrian: Crime Crimea Crimea river.
	11:56am Linda Lee: thanks for a really lovely show Trouble!! always a sonic treat.
	11:56am Dean: Crime was also a kick-ass SF punk band. Saw them in LA.
	11:56am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble!
	11:56am Linda Lee: nice summation there, PRB!
	11:57am Linda Lee: i don't 'get' crime drama's appeal, but that sure makes sense.
	11:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks much, Trouble!
	11:58am ron in S FL: Great set today, thanks!
	11:58am Linda Lee: not sure how we assuage our fears by demonizing those who don't conform to automized society's morality, but so be it. somethin'.
	11:59am Trouble: merci for sitting in today. see you next week!
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: @Brian: ahahaha conjugating portmanteaux, yo! @Trouble: Thank you once again!
	11:59am Linda Lee: brava!!!
	12:00pm Passaic River Blues: @LL: thank you.
	4:39pm Johnny Cash Money: am I late? lovely show
