	♥ 9:06am Strandlund: Good Morning Ken...How's the Boiler?
	♥ 9:07am common: the garden makes me weepy.
	9:07am YETI BOB: @Trouble: I'm not familiar with his work. The soundtrack was cool. Thanks for not playing "Savage Songs of brutality and food." :)
	♥ 9:08am Irene Trudel: Ahhhh, glorious Trouble playing throughout our house.
	♥ 9:08am WoodsOfNH: Finding it hard to recover from this morning's error: thinking that it was Friday.
	9:10am kevlicki: Good morning modern world! Started my harvest day groovin with Earth, Wind and Fire. Popping in for some Trouble.
	♥ 9:11am David (in London): Hello to the Troublesome. Handy, TDK, Count Yeti Bob, melinda, common, Woods, Staysh.
	♥ 9:12am Trouble: good morning irene, thanks for the good vibes!
	9:13am Sylvia (France-NYC): Hello Trouble, and friends! what a nice start
	♥ 9:14am -Ken: @Strandland, now is the time for all smart boiler owners to perform an annual maintenance check on old boily mcboilerface
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: Hello, David, Sylvia, all those in the future.
	9:16am YETI BOB: Hi David! What's new? (Nothing is new here, except the temperature is a bit lower).
	9:18am YETI BOB: @Handy: Did you replace the dead laptop? Or are you still time-sharing?
	♥ 9:18am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble Last week I mentioned all of my magazines disappearing. After an inquiry, I was informed that when you forward your mail, periodicals are only covered for a short period. After that, they are return to the publisher as not deliverable. Gees, I wish somebody I had told me this! So there, that's at least one thing I can't blame for the current stain in the Oval Office. ;-)
	9:18am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Handy ha! I sometimes joke about being in the future when on the phone with NYC :)
	♥ 9:19am Trouble: wow@ woodsofNH: who knew?
	9:19am YETI BOB: @Woods: Forwarding of regular mail expires after a while too - longer than magazines, but it's not forever.
	♥ 9:20am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble Maybe it was in the fine print of the form we filled out? Dunno. Kind of bummer to lose several physical copies of things. I'm not really an online reader.
	♥ 9:20am WoodsOfNH: @YETI BOB Yes. We actually just renewed it a couple of weeks ago.
	♥ 9:21am David (in London): Yeti Bob - Very autumnal here today, so mood = wistful. Ken - Are you a Korgi accredited engineer? If so, please pop by and service my boiler too when you have a moment. Hi Sylvia.
	9:22am Aric: Update your subscriptions if you move, folks. That's a life tip.
	9:24am deborah: @Trouble: Yes! After the death of RBG, I felt intense sadness and appreciation of her extraordinary effort to stem this creeping fascism and hatred permeating the White House and parts of this country. Then, I felt fierce! We must do what we can.
	9:24am Sylvia (France-NYC): @David (in London) Hello, mate!
	♥ 9:24am WoodsOfNH: @Aric Yeah. We had planned to relocate for the summer but it's turned into what feels like permanent (or semi-permanent?)
	♥ 9:26am -Ken: @WoodsofNH, same here. Moved to Woods of NJ
	9:26am deborah: Have to get ready for seven hour teaching marathon. Will listen though. Love the music.
	♥ 9:27am WoodsOfNH: @-Ken Went from woods of NH to the coast of Maine (w/ a little woods here and there).
	♥ 9:28am Irene Trudel: Some of you are lucky to have other places to escape to. Except for weekend day-drives, we're kind of stuck in NYC.
	♥ 9:28am Trouble: Deborah i am finding my virtual teaching more rewarding this fall than in the spring. trying super hard to establish community and love in our 'classroom'. I am working for my students and the future, which makes me feel better
	9:29am Slaboch: Morning Trouble! Sounding great over here while we try to Resist Psychic Death!
	♥ 9:30am Adrian in London: Good morning Trouble from sort of chilly London.
	♥ 9:30am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning! Love this sade
	♥ 9:32am Trouble: steve mcqueen has a new movie : lovers rock! featuring one of my fave times in music www.youtube.com...
	9:33am jwill: good morning from Los Angeles. great tunes to roll the morning out. thank you
	9:33am βrian: Hello, les oiseaux ! When I hear birds, I know Trouble's afoot.
	♥ 9:34am melinda: @Ken I had annual boiler maintenance done recently and learned that some wood framing next to it is a potential fire hazard, good thing I didn't wait.
	9:34am deborah: Trouble:@ So good to read! I am finding the opposite. Spring was filled with a sense of we are here together, getting through, learning. Fall is filled with okay, we want to be on campus pouting.
	9:36am kevlicki: Trouble- there is also a drive-in at the queens museum.
	9:36am Aric: I think Newark has the only or one of the only black owned drive-in theaters in the country.
	♥ 9:36am The Oscar: Mornin'! I got to see Lovers Rock via the virtual NYFF-- it's so good! Not sure if you can still rent it, but it will be on Prime (along with McQueen's four other new movies) in November.
	9:37am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: hey trouble: do u know this: guess u like it… www.youtube.com...
	9:37am Miles of Middle Texas: Thanks Trouble. Your show is being great with my down time at work hurrying up to wait. In a lost valley
	9:38am Steven: Thought that was Ween for a second there.
	9:38am Roberto: It does sound rather Weeny.
	9:39am ottovonbqe: I recently paid an arm and a leg for a new boiler. But at least I can take hot showers for the first time in years.
	9:39am jwill: style council...so good. @Trouble also a good movie: The Story of Lovers Rock. can be found on Amazon Prime
	9:40am YETI BOB: @ottovonbqe: You can stand on one leg and use your remaining arm to wash yourself
	♥ 9:40am Irene Trudel: The Queens Drive-In is presented by Rooftop Films and also has a Brooklyn location: www.queensdrivein.com
	♥ 9:40am Trouble: sorry to hear @deborah. great news@the oscar, thanks for letting us know about that. I will look that up tonight @ jwill. GRACIAS!
	9:43am Listener Gregory: I almost provided an extremely insightful comment on the music before I realized I was listening to a different WFMU stream. Oops. So much for insight.
	♥ 9:44am Phillippe Bastille: @LG ha! Happens to me all the time, except I don't realize it before posting.
	♥ 9:44am Trouble: looks like some great films are upcoming, thanks @irene! wong kar-wai's in the mood for love is stupendous
	♥ 9:45am WoodsOfNH: Started reading another Murakami novel last night. The only problem with this is that I have zero interest in work today because...Murakami!
	9:45am βrian: Is a boiler the same thing as a water heater, or does it have to to with HVAC?
	9:46am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and friends, joining late, rainy darkness here still, Autumn is really here. Lovely photo of La Greco. R.E.P.
	9:50am cuteCloud: good morning!
	♥ 9:50am common: four women...time to get weepy again.
	♥ 9:50am -Ken: @βrian: Yes, a boiler is distinct from a hot water heater although they are kissing cousins. A boiler is a furnace, a building-heating device.
	♥ 9:51am listener: Greetings all, emitting positive vibes to all from central NJ. Trouble, thank you for yet another excellent Thursday 9-12.
	♥ 9:52am Trouble: o yes, that sad news of juliette greco passing. The photo on the accuplaylist page is of and by marie orensanz, an argentinian artist. on her forehead is written 'limitada'/limited. in honor of latinx heritage month and of course to focus on feminist art in the wake of the this truly inhuman time we are living in...
	9:52am βrian: That's what I thought. We have forced-air heat which I don't care for. But I do like the cool-cool in the summer.
	9:52am prudy: good morning all...this has got to be Nina's most powerful song..
	9:53am Roberto: Esa mujer no parece limitada.
	♥ 9:54am Trouble: exactly @roberto
	9:55am Roberto: Ella parece muy poderosa y determinada.
	♥ 9:56am alanr: Work it, Trouble!!!
	♥ 9:58am Trouble: indeed, working as an artist and a woman in argentina in the 1970's would demand that @ roberto
	10:01am Rich in Bristol: Greetings to Trouble and the WFMUniverse!
	10:02am P-90: That first hour will be hard to beat...
	10:08am Roberto: VOAT VOAT VOAT
	10:09am Roberto: Well, VOAT. Don't VOAT three times, despite what dbag-in-chief may suggest.
	10:09am Lucky: For voting info for NJ residents: https://www.njspotlight.com/2020/09/nj-election-2020-questions-answers-mail-in-ballot-in-person-voting/?utm_source=NJ%20Spotlight%20%20Master%20List&utm_campaign=44e27dd334-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_09_24&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1d26f473a7-44e27dd334-398662453&ct=t%28EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_09_24_2020%29&mc_cid=44e27dd334&mc_eid=eca7a18a67
	10:09am Roberto: I mean, don't VOAT three times in a single election :P
	10:09am thelma: Trouble, are you aware of the passing of Juliette Gréco at 92 yesterday?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRlTK4nnqB4
	10:10am ḟ̸̝̣̞̬̯͙̺̰̳̱̻̦ͅī̵̢̺̻̼͎̩̫̰͇̏́̑̒͋͑̅̿̍̕͘̚͜͜ż̷̡̫̳̗̙̣̝: When did WFMU get so political ;)
	10:10am βrian: We're going to vote at the City park about 150 yards from home on Saturday. Poll workers will be present for a set time to accept absentee ballots.
	10:11am Dave: Go, Trouble!!
	♥ 10:11am Priscilla: Yes thank you Trouble!
	♥ 10:11am MD: TESTIFY MY SISTER!
	10:12am sphere: It is SO important to vote. Trump has a ton of tricks for stealing the election, but they only work in close elections. If he loses big, there's nothing he can do! so VOTE.
	10:13am sphere: oh, and hello.
	10:13am P-90: “The Orange One”.
	♥ 10:14am Trouble: yes, thelma i saw that late last night. Since i am djing from home i can only use digital files. And alas alllll of my many many juliette greco albums are vinyl. so my magical husband will transfer some of those albums for a proper tribute next week.
	10:14am Roberto: The Orange Weenie says a lot of stupid crap. Most of it is stupid crap. Let's crush his sorry tuchas at the polls and send him back under the rock from whence he came.
	10:16am YETI BOB: @Roberto: I agree, but instead of going back under a rock, I want to see him go to criminal court.
	10:17am Roberto: YETI, that would be sweet, but first things first.
	♥ 10:17am common: yes, YETI! yes
	10:18am YETI BOB: Early voting starts in IL today. I'm going to vote right after my work meeting ends.
	♥ 10:19am Passaic River Blues: If we lived in a sane society, and a President's obvious and admitted mismanagement led to mass death and mass unemployment, that alone would torpedo any shot at reelection. Put to the side all the corruption, destabilization, norm-breaking, absence of a single redeeming human quality or trait, etc., Donnie Shitbag just wouldn't have a shot. But unfortunately we do live in a sick society, so Trouble's right. The only way to overcome every voter suppression tactic the GOP has and will continue to leverage, up to and including a redo of Bush v. Gore in a newly fortified conservative Supreme Court, is a turnout tidal wave. @YETI BOB: THAT'S RIGHT! Good job!
	10:19am Sketch: Big tune
	♥ 10:20am Trouble: GO @ yeti bob!!
	♥ 10:21am Strandlund: Send them all packing...
	10:22am sphere: Best Prince Cover Ever.
	♥ 10:22am Trouble: @passaic river blues; o yes
	10:22am Sketch: I like Vermin Supreme but I'm not so into his mandatory tooth brushing policy.
	♥ 10:22am common: @sphere: agreed
	10:22am thedunkel: Great set this morning - making the world melt away - thank you!
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: good morning @aaron, merci
	10:24am Spinning Giant: mornin' alll!!! diggin this varshione!!
	♥ 10:25am karlward: That odd meter, son!
	10:25am ZeeBee: gmornin! waters about to boil for coffee, I have my online agriculture class in 30, happy to be here and sip and listen as i wake up. I am so grateful for this show and station. wishing everyone peace today.
	♥ 10:25am karlward: Watch your back, Dave Brubeck.
	10:25am TDK60: Love that Selecter cut! Great album it's from. (Have been too upset to comment.)
	♥ 10:25am common: this whole record is great.
	10:25am βrian: Damn, it's 1999 already?
	10:26am Dances with Moomins: Hello Trouble and the moderns of the world.
	♥ 10:26am David (in London): Tonight I'm going to party like it's 1979.
	♥ 10:27am David (in London): So long at the Millennium Bug doesn't banjax all technology.
	10:30am Dances with Moomins: Tis a little screw' up....I just got a noticefrom Finnish Customs that I can get a package from Scott Williams if I pay 22 Euros....first time ever SWAG came with a customs cost! Dang!
	10:30am Jeffrey Davison: Listening in my car this morning. (A 1974 BMW 3.0 CSI, as if...). Great show as usual. Hadn’t heard that Nina Simone song before. Holy smokes!!
	♥ 10:30am karlward: If Brubeck wasn't watching his back, man, he's in trouble with the odd meter in this Herbie.
	10:32am Sketch: I'm listening from my bed, sick as a dog, waiting to go get a covid test
	♥ 10:33am Trouble: hello jeffrey! whoa that is crazy @moomins. hope you get better sooooon @sketch. fingers crossed it's not covid
	♥ 10:33am David (in London): Jeffrey, funnily enough, there's exactly one of those BMWs that lives round the corner from here. In white, and absolutely immaculate. A real beauty. If you want to swing by we can hotwire it and take it out for a spin...
	10:34am Sketch: This tune is a perfect accompaniment to staring out my window
	10:34am βrian: @Dances: Cuz you could otherwise buy the WFMU swag locally, or what?
	10:35am Sketch: I used to buy 45s from Jamaica, that was fun with customs. Nothing like waiting 4 months for a box of records that were stabbed with a ice pick
	♥ 10:36am Yes: morning all
	♥ 10:37am Passaic River Blues: @Sketch: damn. Here's hoping it's not COVID and you're very soon on the mend.
	10:38am Listener Gregory: Herbie under Miles's spell still here.
	10:38am Dances with Moomins: @Brian...I'd rather FMU got the money. After what? 14 years of getting Trouble's CDs this time something snagged in Customs....FMU should say things sent over seas are GIFTS and a few bucks in value. shouldn't be seen as a business thing MHO.
	10:38am Jeffrey Davison: David, I’m on my way!
	10:39am βrian: We just got a positive in our 'hood. We expect to hear from contact tracers soon.
	10:40am Sketch: I'm pretty sure I'm not going to test positive because I know who got me sick and she's negative, so it's probably just some random other sickness. But you know, for the sake of everyone else in your life you have to get tested just to be sure!!
	♥ 10:42am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 10:42am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Trouble and crew! Annette Peacock - woohoo!
	♥ 10:44am Jason from Houston: Joy is not expecting a Peacock track and then getting one.
	♥ 10:45am Passaic River Blues: @Sketch: absolutely.
	10:48am Peter in SEA: I thought that was the most far-out photo of Juliette that I had ever seen but was revealing a new side to me, haha, now I understand....
	♥ 10:54am Trouble: if you want more oui ennui. AND he's wearing an alice coltrane t www.youtube.com...
	♥ 10:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and harried listeners.
	10:59am Faye: love the show Trouble~
	11:00am Listener Gregory: I'd like to stay until the end, but I'm going to a bog. Hope to see some peat. Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 11:00am Pale Son: This is amazing, don't remember this track! I need to revisit this album.
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: STU! your package only had my premium and a t shirt: there should be no customs charges on that. email me!
	11:02am Frege's Nightmare: Brilliant set, autumn leaves falling in the Catskills
	♥ 11:08am Trouble: good morning @Faye! good to hear from you, merci
	♥ 11:08am Trouble: gracias@ frege's nightmare. sounds fabulous where you are.
	♥ 11:10am PaulRobeson1920: Good Morning Ya’ll! Beautiful Fall Day
	♥ 11:13am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:16am kppk: <3 <3 <3
	11:16am Dances with Moomins: Hei Ms. T, folks have bigger problems than this. it rankles my ankles but small potatoes. There's so much more to pour our energy into ( and you focus us so well ). Thanks for the constantly inspirational music, the vibe of love. PS we had an amazingly beautiful Autumn day today...so much to be happy for.
	♥ 11:17am Trouble: awesome @stu!
	♥ 11:18am strangegait: Up here in Albany, we're just starting to get a hint of color. Hope we have a pretty fall. At least 2020 can deliver that much maybe?
	11:19am slugluv1313: Good Morning, Trouble! Skeleton Crew! Everyone! been listening, just have not signed in until now :) and YES -- "Four Women" by Nina Simone . . . so needed that today -- THANK YOU!!!
	11:24am slugluv1313: @ Sketch -- FEEL BETTER SOON!!! sending you healing energy :) i was really sick in February (but no fever) -- then really REALLY sick in March (the fever kicked in, was 103.5 at its worst) -- but it turned out it was not COVID-19 (by the time testing came around, i did not have any symptoms -- but had anyibody testing done, and all that was negative) a friend of mine was also knocked out with some equally severe, crazy non-COVID nightmare . . . long story short, do whatever you gotta do to take care of yourself!
	♥ 11:25am Phillippe Bastille: I'm probably in the minority, but I really resent Fall. Winter is kind of like a politician or celebrity you hate and have to endure day-in day-out. But Fall? It's like that significant other that teases you with nice moments, but you know in the back of your mind that they're going to cheat on you, leave you, and take the puppy you and they rescued.
	11:25am Dances with Moomins: Fall is beautiful
	♥ 11:26am Ike: Sounds great! @kppk, re: our recent conversation about radio reception, you should definitely be able to get 91.1 clearly in southern Sunset Park esp. if you are west of 6th Ave., but only with a "real" radio or stereo. Junky cheapo alarm clock radios and stuff like that are only good for picking up Z100! (Or other terrible commercial stations.)
	11:28am Vt Knit Girl: Great show, as always, thanks Trouble!!
	♥ 11:28am Adrian in London: I hope everyone has just sung out loud the "What they doin'?" line in Backstabbers?
	11:28am ratso: I've always loved that "what they do". good song
	♥ 11:29am listener james from westwood: Point of order: most Repubs have long been unrepentant front-stabbers.
	11:30am slugluv1313: @ Ken -- was inspired to walk by Sybil's Cave yesterday (had just come from dentist, looks like i gotta get a root canal -- oh joy) . . . so sweet to hear all the crickets and birds singing to each other and yes, DAMN! did not even realize that "Big John" is no longer there :(
	11:31am ?: All your hatred and contempt will backfire on you November 4. You should stick to the music and stop using this platform as a biased means to express your political views. Very distasteful!
	♥ 11:33am Trouble: thanks@vt knit girl!
	11:33am Bill W: Let's not forget the many Democrats who vote to confirm Trump judges ALL the time...
	♥ 11:33am tim from champaign (now washington): I'm on an electronic news moratorium until either November 4, 2020 or January 2025. I haven't picked up a print newspaper since Sunday. I'm afraid to look.
	♥ 11:35am Jason from Houston: Got that Dr. John joy now!
	♥ 11:35am tim from champaign (now washington): Is this a Dr John song about an orangatang? I hope it is otherwise what little hope I have will be crushed even further.
	11:36am Carmichael: Heya TYouble, crew and especially ?, who is back with some extra bile.
	♥ 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): I really misheard those lyrics.
	11:37am prudy: ? WFMU is free form which includes political views...if you don't want to hear it go somewhere else..Sorry if there is just too much reality for you here..
	11:38am Listening Out There: Am enjoying the sounds this morning....
	♥ 11:38am xtrakrispy: @tim, I was hearing "Brian Wilson ain't coming"
	♥ 11:38am Yes: thank you for everything , trouble :) :) :)
	♥ 11:39am Jason from Houston: That's great, xtrakrispy. Hahaha...
	11:39am prudy: Trouble ---appropriate song for the orange idiot...
	♥ 11:39am Hughie Considine: Ahh...this has to be one of the finest of Stevie's finest.
	♥ 11:39am Ike: Hey ?, listen tonight at 6 p.m. (EST), that's your show
	11:40am Farmer Rye in Santa Cruz: hey y’all. loving the selections. hope matt finds his spa house
	♥ 11:40am tim from champaign (now washington): @xtrakrispy - ha! In this day and age, reality can be whatever you want to pretend it is, Therefore, that Dr John song was about Brian Wilson and orangatngs.
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: ideas are ideas until someone doesn't like them and then it all gets 'political'. the personal is political, and the only people who don't admit that are the people whose privilege has exempted them from having to consider that the rules are/were written by them, to protect them.
	11:42am βrian: Ameni!
	11:43am prudy: right on...
	11:44am slugluv1313: RIGHT ON, Trouble!!!
	♥ 11:44am strangegait: truth!
	♥ 11:45am Vivian: @? you know what is really distasteful? 200,000 + dead when he was warned in January. Remember, it will go away with the warm weather? The corruption that has gone on with this administration. Lies that turn into violence upon humans at the border and within our borders. He is simply lining his pockets and doesn't give two bits about you or anyone else. That is distasteful.
	♥ 11:47am Passaic River Blues: @Vivian: yes!
	11:47am Dances with Moomins: Keep the faith!
	11:48am YETI BOB: I typed a long reply to ? then remembered not to feed the trolls.
	11:48am prudy: Vivian: agreed...let's name reality for what it is...
	11:49am βrian: Trolls without souls, yo.
	11:49am kevlicki: “Shut up and play music” is a distasteful political statement. Music is full of political statements. And why not discuss politics, it should be healthy to have discourse everywhere, there’s plenty of places to hide from difficult conversations...
	11:50am Carmichael: I'll take Revolution for $1,000, Alex.
	♥ 11:50am Passaic River Blues: "Don't say mean things about Herr Donald! How gauche! It's not like he let your friends and neighbors die or anything!" @Brian: hahaha
	11:50am Dances with Moomins: @Yeti, I hope to get (back to America! ) to Chicago some sunny day and have a beer with ya....maybe go to a ball game. I had same thought about not responding to trolls
	♥ 11:52am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Trouble!
	11:52am kevlicki: Trouble, there are always birds in the background while I’m harvesting to your show. Cutting our mesclun mix this morning
	11:52am βrian: Mescalito??
	11:53am Carmichael: @kevlicki, Trouble, etc . We were discussing last night how the anti-maskers/Anti-BLM/Personal civil rights types don't seem to have the intellectual capacity to rationally discuss the pros and cons of ANYTHING. They have a short bumper sticker answer to every political issue, and will chant it endlessly.
	♥ 11:53am Vivian: @ exactly Prudy. Someone pass me a plate, I want a slice of the Revolution pie.
	♥ 11:54am Trouble: @carmichael, because they never had to defend themselves: the will of the land was written by their fathers. white privilege is exactly that
	♥ 11:54am Mennlinn Rebarts: This song is so sad. hikkoshi means moving. I think she's singing about moving out from a failed romance.
	11:55am YETI BOB: @Moomins: That would be great. @Everyone: Re: feeding trolls - sorry, I'm not trying to tell people what to do. Of course I agree with you, Vivian. I also find their comment "Very distasteful!" (as I find that typical Trumpian twitter-talk, summing everything up with a two word judgement and some exclamation marks).
	11:56am kevlicki: A ? For ?, what makes it distasteful for a DJ to express their views over the air? FYI regular listeners to This is the modern world are already aware the Trouble is outspoken, many probably come for it. For fresh ears, what is so offensive? Do you think freeform should be an objective safe space for listeners?
	11:56am βrian: For the promiscuous listeners: Continental Subway wfmu.org... Pseu's Thing With A Hook freeform.wfmu.org...
	11:56am slugluv1313: wonderful and inspiring show, Trouble -- thanks so much!
	♥ 11:56am Passaic River Blues: @Brian: thank you. @Trouble: And thank you!
	11:56am YETI BOB: ? is probably a Russian bot
	♥ 11:57am Phillippe Bastille: Thanks trouble!

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.

	♥ 9:08am Irene Trudel: Ahhhh, glorious Trouble playing throughout our house.
	♥ 9:08am WoodsOfNH: Finding it hard to recover from this morning's error: thinking that it was Friday.

	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: Hello, David, Sylvia, all those in the future.
	9:16am YETI BOB: Hi David! What's new? (Nothing is new here, except the temperature is a bit lower).
	9:18am YETI BOB: @Handy: Did you replace the dead laptop? Or are you still time-sharing?
	♥ 9:18am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble Last week I mentioned all of my magazines disappearing. After an inquiry, I was informed that when you forward your mail, periodicals are only covered for a short period. After that, they are return to the publisher as not deliverable. Gees, I wish somebody I had told me this! So there, that's at least one thing I can't blame for the current stain in the Oval Office. ;-)
	9:18am Sylvia (France-NYC): @Handy ha! I sometimes joke about being in the future when on the phone with NYC :)
	♥ 9:19am Trouble: wow@ woodsofNH: who knew?
	9:19am YETI BOB: @Woods: Forwarding of regular mail expires after a while too - longer than magazines, but it's not forever.
	♥ 9:20am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble Maybe it was in the fine print of the form we filled out? Dunno. Kind of bummer to lose several physical copies of things. I'm not really an online reader.
	♥ 9:20am WoodsOfNH: @YETI BOB Yes. We actually just renewed it a couple of weeks ago.
	♥ 9:21am David (in London): Yeti Bob - Very autumnal here today, so mood = wistful. Ken - Are you a Korgi accredited engineer? If so, please pop by and service my boiler too when you have a moment. Hi Sylvia.
	9:22am Aric: Update your subscriptions if you move, folks. That's a life tip.
	9:24am deborah: @Trouble: Yes! After the death of RBG, I felt intense sadness and appreciation of her extraordinary effort to stem this creeping fascism and hatred permeating the White House and parts of this country. Then, I felt fierce! We must do what we can.
	9:24am Sylvia (France-NYC): @David (in London) Hello, mate!
	♥ 9:24am WoodsOfNH: @Aric Yeah. We had planned to relocate for the summer but it's turned into what feels like permanent (or semi-permanent?)
	♥ 9:26am -Ken: @WoodsofNH, same here. Moved to Woods of NJ
	9:26am deborah: Have to get ready for seven hour teaching marathon. Will listen though. Love the music.
	♥ 9:27am WoodsOfNH: @-Ken Went from woods of NH to the coast of Maine (w/ a little woods here and there).
	♥ 9:28am Irene Trudel: Some of you are lucky to have other places to escape to. Except for weekend day-drives, we're kind of stuck in NYC.
	♥ 9:28am Trouble: Deborah i am finding my virtual teaching more rewarding this fall than in the spring. trying super hard to establish community and love in our 'classroom'. I am working for my students and the future, which makes me feel better
	9:29am Slaboch: Morning Trouble! Sounding great over here while we try to Resist Psychic Death!
	♥ 9:30am Adrian in London: Good morning Trouble from sort of chilly London.
	♥ 9:30am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning! Love this sade
	♥ 9:32am Trouble: steve mcqueen has a new movie : lovers rock! featuring one of my fave times in music www.youtube.com...
	9:33am jwill: good morning from Los Angeles. great tunes to roll the morning out. thank you
	9:33am βrian: Hello, les oiseaux ! When I hear birds, I know Trouble's afoot.
	♥ 9:34am melinda: @Ken I had annual boiler maintenance done recently and learned that some wood framing next to it is a potential fire hazard, good thing I didn't wait.
	9:34am deborah: Trouble:@ So good to read! I am finding the opposite. Spring was filled with a sense of we are here together, getting through, learning. Fall is filled with okay, we want to be on campus pouting.
	9:36am kevlicki: Trouble- there is also a drive-in at the queens museum.
	9:36am Aric: I think Newark has the only or one of the only black owned drive-in theaters in the country.
	♥ 9:36am The Oscar: Mornin'! I got to see Lovers Rock via the virtual NYFF-- it's so good! Not sure if you can still rent it, but it will be on Prime (along with McQueen's four other new movies) in November.
	9:37am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: hey trouble: do u know this: guess u like it… www.youtube.com...
	9:37am Miles of Middle Texas: Thanks Trouble. Your show is being great with my down time at work hurrying up to wait. In a lost valley
	9:38am Steven: Thought that was Ween for a second there.
	9:38am Roberto: It does sound rather Weeny.
	9:39am ottovonbqe: I recently paid an arm and a leg for a new boiler. But at least I can take hot showers for the first time in years.
	9:39am jwill: style council...so good. @Trouble also a good movie: The Story of Lovers Rock. can be found on Amazon Prime
	9:40am YETI BOB: @ottovonbqe: You can stand on one leg and use your remaining arm to wash yourself
	♥ 9:40am Irene Trudel: The Queens Drive-In is presented by Rooftop Films and also has a Brooklyn location: www.queensdrivein.com
	♥ 9:40am Trouble: sorry to hear @deborah. great news@the oscar, thanks for letting us know about that. I will look that up tonight @ jwill. GRACIAS!
	9:43am Listener Gregory: I almost provided an extremely insightful comment on the music before I realized I was listening to a different WFMU stream. Oops. So much for insight.
	♥ 9:44am Phillippe Bastille: @LG ha! Happens to me all the time, except I don't realize it before posting.
	♥ 9:44am Trouble: looks like some great films are upcoming, thanks @irene! wong kar-wai's in the mood for love is stupendous
	♥ 9:45am WoodsOfNH: Started reading another Murakami novel last night. The only problem with this is that I have zero interest in work today because...Murakami!
	9:45am βrian: Is a boiler the same thing as a water heater, or does it have to to with HVAC?
	9:46am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and friends, joining late, rainy darkness here still, Autumn is really here. Lovely photo of La Greco. R.E.P.
	9:50am cuteCloud: good morning!
	♥ 9:50am common: four women...time to get weepy again.
	♥ 9:50am -Ken: @βrian: Yes, a boiler is distinct from a hot water heater although they are kissing cousins. A boiler is a furnace, a building-heating device.
	♥ 9:51am listener: Greetings all, emitting positive vibes to all from central NJ. Trouble, thank you for yet another excellent Thursday 9-12.
	♥ 9:52am Trouble: o yes, that sad news of juliette greco passing. The photo on the accuplaylist page is of and by marie orensanz, an argentinian artist. on her forehead is written 'limitada'/limited. in honor of latinx heritage month and of course to focus on feminist art in the wake of the this truly inhuman time we are living in...
	9:52am βrian: That's what I thought. We have forced-air heat which I don't care for. But I do like the cool-cool in the summer.
	9:52am prudy: good morning all...this has got to be Nina's most powerful song..
	9:53am Roberto: Esa mujer no parece limitada.
	♥ 9:54am Trouble: exactly @roberto
	9:55am Roberto: Ella parece muy poderosa y determinada.
	♥ 9:56am alanr: Work it, Trouble!!!
	♥ 9:58am Trouble: indeed, working as an artist and a woman in argentina in the 1970's would demand that @ roberto
	10:01am Rich in Bristol: Greetings to Trouble and the WFMUniverse!
	10:02am P-90: That first hour will be hard to beat...
	10:08am Roberto: VOAT VOAT VOAT
	10:09am Roberto: Well, VOAT. Don't VOAT three times, despite what dbag-in-chief may suggest.
	10:09am Lucky: For voting info for NJ residents: https://www.njspotlight.com/2020/09/nj-election-2020-questions-answers-mail-in-ballot-in-person-voting/?utm_source=NJ%20Spotlight%20%20Master%20List&utm_campaign=44e27dd334-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_09_24&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1d26f473a7-44e27dd334-398662453&ct=t%28EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_09_24_2020%29&mc_cid=44e27dd334&mc_eid=eca7a18a67
	10:09am Roberto: I mean, don't VOAT three times in a single election :P
	10:09am thelma: Trouble, are you aware of the passing of Juliette Gréco at 92 yesterday?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRlTK4nnqB4
	10:10am ḟ̸̝̣̞̬̯͙̺̰̳̱̻̦ͅī̵̢̺̻̼͎̩̫̰͇̏́̑̒͋͑̅̿̍̕͘̚͜͜ż̷̡̫̳̗̙̣̝: When did WFMU get so political ;)
	10:10am βrian: We're going to vote at the City park about 150 yards from home on Saturday. Poll workers will be present for a set time to accept absentee ballots.
	10:11am Dave: Go, Trouble!!
	♥ 10:11am Priscilla: Yes thank you Trouble!
	♥ 10:11am MD: TESTIFY MY SISTER!
	10:12am sphere: It is SO important to vote. Trump has a ton of tricks for stealing the election, but they only work in close elections. If he loses big, there's nothing he can do! so VOTE.
	10:13am sphere: oh, and hello.
	10:13am P-90: “The Orange One”.
	♥ 10:14am Trouble: yes, thelma i saw that late last night. Since i am djing from home i can only use digital files. And alas alllll of my many many juliette greco albums are vinyl. so my magical husband will transfer some of those albums for a proper tribute next week.
	10:14am Roberto: The Orange Weenie says a lot of stupid crap. Most of it is stupid crap. Let's crush his sorry tuchas at the polls and send him back under the rock from whence he came.
	10:16am YETI BOB: @Roberto: I agree, but instead of going back under a rock, I want to see him go to criminal court.
	10:17am Roberto: YETI, that would be sweet, but first things first.
	♥ 10:17am common: yes, YETI! yes
	10:18am YETI BOB: Early voting starts in IL today. I'm going to vote right after my work meeting ends.
	♥ 10:19am Passaic River Blues: If we lived in a sane society, and a President's obvious and admitted mismanagement led to mass death and mass unemployment, that alone would torpedo any shot at reelection. Put to the side all the corruption, destabilization, norm-breaking, absence of a single redeeming human quality or trait, etc., Donnie Shitbag just wouldn't have a shot. But unfortunately we do live in a sick society, so Trouble's right. The only way to overcome every voter suppression tactic the GOP has and will continue to leverage, up to and including a redo of Bush v. Gore in a newly fortified conservative Supreme Court, is a turnout tidal wave. @YETI BOB: THAT'S RIGHT! Good job!
	10:19am Sketch: Big tune
	♥ 10:20am Trouble: GO @ yeti bob!!
	♥ 10:21am Strandlund: Send them all packing...
	10:22am sphere: Best Prince Cover Ever.
	♥ 10:22am Trouble: @passaic river blues; o yes
	10:22am Sketch: I like Vermin Supreme but I'm not so into his mandatory tooth brushing policy.
	♥ 10:22am common: @sphere: agreed
	10:22am thedunkel: Great set this morning - making the world melt away - thank you!
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: good morning @aaron, merci
	10:24am Spinning Giant: mornin' alll!!! diggin this varshione!!
	♥ 10:25am karlward: That odd meter, son!
	10:25am ZeeBee: gmornin! waters about to boil for coffee, I have my online agriculture class in 30, happy to be here and sip and listen as i wake up. I am so grateful for this show and station. wishing everyone peace today.
	♥ 10:25am karlward: Watch your back, Dave Brubeck.
	10:25am TDK60: Love that Selecter cut! Great album it's from. (Have been too upset to comment.)
	♥ 10:25am common: this whole record is great.
	10:25am βrian: Damn, it's 1999 already?
	10:26am Dances with Moomins: Hello Trouble and the moderns of the world.
	♥ 10:26am David (in London): Tonight I'm going to party like it's 1979.
	♥ 10:27am David (in London): So long at the Millennium Bug doesn't banjax all technology.
	10:30am Dances with Moomins: Tis a little screw' up....I just got a noticefrom Finnish Customs that I can get a package from Scott Williams if I pay 22 Euros....first time ever SWAG came with a customs cost! Dang!
	10:30am Jeffrey Davison: Listening in my car this morning. (A 1974 BMW 3.0 CSI, as if...). Great show as usual. Hadn’t heard that Nina Simone song before. Holy smokes!!
	♥ 10:30am karlward: If Brubeck wasn't watching his back, man, he's in trouble with the odd meter in this Herbie.
	10:32am Sketch: I'm listening from my bed, sick as a dog, waiting to go get a covid test
	♥ 10:33am Trouble: hello jeffrey! whoa that is crazy @moomins. hope you get better sooooon @sketch. fingers crossed it's not covid
	♥ 10:33am David (in London): Jeffrey, funnily enough, there's exactly one of those BMWs that lives round the corner from here. In white, and absolutely immaculate. A real beauty. If you want to swing by we can hotwire it and take it out for a spin...
	10:34am Sketch: This tune is a perfect accompaniment to staring out my window
	10:34am βrian: @Dances: Cuz you could otherwise buy the WFMU swag locally, or what?
	10:35am Sketch: I used to buy 45s from Jamaica, that was fun with customs. Nothing like waiting 4 months for a box of records that were stabbed with a ice pick
	♥ 10:36am Yes: morning all
	♥ 10:37am Passaic River Blues: @Sketch: damn. Here's hoping it's not COVID and you're very soon on the mend.
	10:38am Listener Gregory: Herbie under Miles's spell still here.
	10:38am Dances with Moomins: @Brian...I'd rather FMU got the money. After what? 14 years of getting Trouble's CDs this time something snagged in Customs....FMU should say things sent over seas are GIFTS and a few bucks in value. shouldn't be seen as a business thing MHO.
	10:38am Jeffrey Davison: David, I’m on my way!
	10:39am βrian: We just got a positive in our 'hood. We expect to hear from contact tracers soon.
	10:40am Sketch: I'm pretty sure I'm not going to test positive because I know who got me sick and she's negative, so it's probably just some random other sickness. But you know, for the sake of everyone else in your life you have to get tested just to be sure!!
	♥ 10:42am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 10:42am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Trouble and crew! Annette Peacock - woohoo!
	♥ 10:44am Jason from Houston: Joy is not expecting a Peacock track and then getting one.
	♥ 10:45am Passaic River Blues: @Sketch: absolutely.
	10:48am Peter in SEA: I thought that was the most far-out photo of Juliette that I had ever seen but was revealing a new side to me, haha, now I understand....
	♥ 10:54am Trouble: if you want more oui ennui. AND he's wearing an alice coltrane t www.youtube.com...
	♥ 10:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and harried listeners.
	10:59am Faye: love the show Trouble~
	11:00am Listener Gregory: I'd like to stay until the end, but I'm going to a bog. Hope to see some peat. Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 11:00am Pale Son: This is amazing, don't remember this track! I need to revisit this album.
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: STU! your package only had my premium and a t shirt: there should be no customs charges on that. email me!
	11:02am Frege's Nightmare: Brilliant set, autumn leaves falling in the Catskills
	♥ 11:08am Trouble: good morning @Faye! good to hear from you, merci
	♥ 11:08am Trouble: gracias@ frege's nightmare. sounds fabulous where you are.

	♥ 11:13am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:16am kppk: <3 <3 <3
	11:16am Dances with Moomins: Hei Ms. T, folks have bigger problems than this. it rankles my ankles but small potatoes. There's so much more to pour our energy into ( and you focus us so well ). Thanks for the constantly inspirational music, the vibe of love. PS we had an amazingly beautiful Autumn day today...so much to be happy for.
	♥ 11:17am Trouble: awesome @stu!
	♥ 11:18am strangegait: Up here in Albany, we're just starting to get a hint of color. Hope we have a pretty fall. At least 2020 can deliver that much maybe?
	11:19am slugluv1313: Good Morning, Trouble! Skeleton Crew! Everyone! been listening, just have not signed in until now :) and YES -- "Four Women" by Nina Simone . . . so needed that today -- THANK YOU!!!
	11:24am slugluv1313: @ Sketch -- FEEL BETTER SOON!!! sending you healing energy :) i was really sick in February (but no fever) -- then really REALLY sick in March (the fever kicked in, was 103.5 at its worst) -- but it turned out it was not COVID-19 (by the time testing came around, i did not have any symptoms -- but had anyibody testing done, and all that was negative) a friend of mine was also knocked out with some equally severe, crazy non-COVID nightmare . . . long story short, do whatever you gotta do to take care of yourself!
	♥ 11:25am Phillippe Bastille: I'm probably in the minority, but I really resent Fall. Winter is kind of like a politician or celebrity you hate and have to endure day-in day-out. But Fall? It's like that significant other that teases you with nice moments, but you know in the back of your mind that they're going to cheat on you, leave you, and take the puppy you and they rescued.
	11:25am Dances with Moomins: Fall is beautiful
	♥ 11:26am Ike: Sounds great! @kppk, re: our recent conversation about radio reception, you should definitely be able to get 91.1 clearly in southern Sunset Park esp. if you are west of 6th Ave., but only with a "real" radio or stereo. Junky cheapo alarm clock radios and stuff like that are only good for picking up Z100! (Or other terrible commercial stations.)
	11:28am Vt Knit Girl: Great show, as always, thanks Trouble!!
	♥ 11:28am Adrian in London: I hope everyone has just sung out loud the "What they doin'?" line in Backstabbers?
	11:28am ratso: I've always loved that "what they do". good song
	♥ 11:29am listener james from westwood: Point of order: most Repubs have long been unrepentant front-stabbers.
	11:30am slugluv1313: @ Ken -- was inspired to walk by Sybil's Cave yesterday (had just come from dentist, looks like i gotta get a root canal -- oh joy) . . . so sweet to hear all the crickets and birds singing to each other and yes, DAMN! did not even realize that "Big John" is no longer there :(
	11:31am ?: All your hatred and contempt will backfire on you November 4. You should stick to the music and stop using this platform as a biased means to express your political views. Very distasteful!
	♥ 11:33am Trouble: thanks@vt knit girl!
	11:33am Bill W: Let's not forget the many Democrats who vote to confirm Trump judges ALL the time...
	♥ 11:33am tim from champaign (now washington): I'm on an electronic news moratorium until either November 4, 2020 or January 2025. I haven't picked up a print newspaper since Sunday. I'm afraid to look.
	♥ 11:35am Jason from Houston: Got that Dr. John joy now!
	♥ 11:35am tim from champaign (now washington): Is this a Dr John song about an orangatang? I hope it is otherwise what little hope I have will be crushed even further.
	11:36am Carmichael: Heya TYouble, crew and especially ?, who is back with some extra bile.
	♥ 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): I really misheard those lyrics.
	11:37am prudy: ? WFMU is free form which includes political views...if you don't want to hear it go somewhere else..Sorry if there is just too much reality for you here..
	11:38am Listening Out There: Am enjoying the sounds this morning....
	♥ 11:38am xtrakrispy: @tim, I was hearing "Brian Wilson ain't coming"
	♥ 11:38am Yes: thank you for everything , trouble :) :) :)
	♥ 11:39am Jason from Houston: That's great, xtrakrispy. Hahaha...
	11:39am prudy: Trouble ---appropriate song for the orange idiot...
	♥ 11:39am Hughie Considine: Ahh...this has to be one of the finest of Stevie's finest.
	♥ 11:39am Ike: Hey ?, listen tonight at 6 p.m. (EST), that's your show
	11:40am Farmer Rye in Santa Cruz: hey y’all. loving the selections. hope matt finds his spa house
	♥ 11:40am tim from champaign (now washington): @xtrakrispy - ha! In this day and age, reality can be whatever you want to pretend it is, Therefore, that Dr John song was about Brian Wilson and orangatngs.
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: ideas are ideas until someone doesn't like them and then it all gets 'political'. the personal is political, and the only people who don't admit that are the people whose privilege has exempted them from having to consider that the rules are/were written by them, to protect them.
	11:42am βrian: Ameni!
	11:43am prudy: right on...
	11:44am slugluv1313: RIGHT ON, Trouble!!!
	♥ 11:44am strangegait: truth!
	♥ 11:45am Vivian: @? you know what is really distasteful? 200,000 + dead when he was warned in January. Remember, it will go away with the warm weather? The corruption that has gone on with this administration. Lies that turn into violence upon humans at the border and within our borders. He is simply lining his pockets and doesn't give two bits about you or anyone else. That is distasteful.
	♥ 11:47am Passaic River Blues: @Vivian: yes!
	11:47am Dances with Moomins: Keep the faith!
	11:48am YETI BOB: I typed a long reply to ? then remembered not to feed the trolls.
	11:48am prudy: Vivian: agreed...let's name reality for what it is...
	11:49am βrian: Trolls without souls, yo.
	11:49am kevlicki: “Shut up and play music” is a distasteful political statement. Music is full of political statements. And why not discuss politics, it should be healthy to have discourse everywhere, there’s plenty of places to hide from difficult conversations...
	11:50am Carmichael: I'll take Revolution for $1,000, Alex.
	♥ 11:50am Passaic River Blues: "Don't say mean things about Herr Donald! How gauche! It's not like he let your friends and neighbors die or anything!" @Brian: hahaha
	11:50am Dances with Moomins: @Yeti, I hope to get (back to America! ) to Chicago some sunny day and have a beer with ya....maybe go to a ball game. I had same thought about not responding to trolls
	♥ 11:52am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Trouble!
	11:52am kevlicki: Trouble, there are always birds in the background while I’m harvesting to your show. Cutting our mesclun mix this morning
	11:52am βrian: Mescalito??
	11:53am Carmichael: @kevlicki, Trouble, etc . We were discussing last night how the anti-maskers/Anti-BLM/Personal civil rights types don't seem to have the intellectual capacity to rationally discuss the pros and cons of ANYTHING. They have a short bumper sticker answer to every political issue, and will chant it endlessly.
	♥ 11:53am Vivian: @ exactly Prudy. Someone pass me a plate, I want a slice of the Revolution pie.
	♥ 11:54am Trouble: @carmichael, because they never had to defend themselves: the will of the land was written by their fathers. white privilege is exactly that
	♥ 11:54am Mennlinn Rebarts: This song is so sad. hikkoshi means moving. I think she's singing about moving out from a failed romance.
	11:55am YETI BOB: @Moomins: That would be great. @Everyone: Re: feeding trolls - sorry, I'm not trying to tell people what to do. Of course I agree with you, Vivian. I also find their comment "Very distasteful!" (as I find that typical Trumpian twitter-talk, summing everything up with a two word judgement and some exclamation marks).
	11:56am kevlicki: A ? For ?, what makes it distasteful for a DJ to express their views over the air? FYI regular listeners to This is the modern world are already aware the Trouble is outspoken, many probably come for it. For fresh ears, what is so offensive? Do you think freeform should be an objective safe space for listeners?
	11:56am βrian: For the promiscuous listeners: Continental Subway wfmu.org... Pseu's Thing With A Hook freeform.wfmu.org...
	11:56am slugluv1313: wonderful and inspiring show, Trouble -- thanks so much!
	♥ 11:56am Passaic River Blues: @Brian: thank you. @Trouble: And thank you!
	11:56am YETI BOB: ? is probably a Russian bot
	♥ 11:57am Phillippe Bastille: Thanks trouble!
	♥ 11:57am Devin B.: Thanks Trouble!
	♥ 11:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Trouble! Excellent stuff today.
	♥ 11:57am Mennlinn Rebarts: Yes, thanks trouble! <3
	11:57am brainiac: I'm proudly promiscuous. Sorry I missed this show this morning. Better listen on the archive.
	11:57am TDK60: B.L.M.
	11:58am Carmichael: Thank you, ?.
	♥ 11:58am Pale Son: Thank you, Trouble!!!
	11:59am prudy: thanks for a wonderful show Trouble...
	11:59am slugluv1313: and YES -- thank you for talking about Breonna Taylor! i am still gutted, trying to figure out what the f*ck to do about this insanity
	11:59am kevlicki: I enjoy political and conflicting debate, but everyone usually leaves the room...leading me to believe there’s plenty of space in the world for them to go
	♥ 11:59am Trouble: thanks for listening today and sitting here and sharing ideas
	11:59am Johnny Staten Island: Great show. Fully endorse your politics.
	♥ 11:59am Strandlund: Great Show as always, Trouble!! Thanks!!
