	10:29am Malcolm: thanks for keeping wfmu a babylon free zone
	10:30am Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: All I know is that it's been way too long since I've gone to Brooklyn Chinatown for frozen dumplings to bring home. So tasty and such a good deal.
	10:30am Hubig Pie: Mmmmm....... dumplings

	10:35am Malcolm: big choon!
	10:36am waters7: Hey DJ, Thank you !
	10:36am Greg from ZONE 5: There are A LOT more DJs in the entire world than there were when TWFSP recorded this song.

	10:55am Trouble: wow @ markinbrooklyn: that must be amazing!
	10:55am waters7: Back on the dance floor
	10:55am PaulRobeson1920: 'Cause everybody knows...
	10:55am Trouble: @rachfaced: happy to pass on info!
	10:55am Ryansterlingvirtue: loving this.
	10:58am joe mulligan: lots of fun 80s tunes in this set. Hey Trouble, how's DJ Icepack been doing? Does DJ icepack know DJ Purple Haze?
	10:58am Hubig Pie: And remember kidz It's pronounced Zy-you Zy-you
	10:59am Malcolm: @markinbrooklyn cool! do you have a link?
	11:02am Eric Kilkenny: Gooood morning Trouble and modern worldererers
	11:03am Jason from Houston: LOL
	11:03am Matthew: Your French is hot
	11:04am Hubig Pie: Shoe Shoe is correct,me thinks I got the alternative pronunciation from a college radio Dj
	11:04am redbee: Friend-of-a-friend is a former band-member, and I remember "shoe-shoe" was the way they said it
	11:05am Webhamster Henry: 'X' in pinyin is pronounced 'Hs'.
	11:06am Barney Grubbs: The Xiu Xiu guy says is "Shi-yu Shi-yu" (at least as of 2008): commons.wikimedia.org... (unless they're prononuncing it shwee shwee)
	11:06am redbee: The bigger question is how do you pronounce "rhum". If Rhode Islanders pronounce "room" as "rum", then surely "rhum" sounds like everyone else saying "room"
	11:07am Barney Grubbs: (also the "iu" in Pinyin is normally more like a condensed "eeyo")
	11:07am listener james from westwood: @Trouble, how long did Matt Warwick play that Felder cut?! I say crank the Supreme Team track each week as well!
	11:07am Webhamster Henry: Technically, X -> "/ɕ/"

	11:08am Passaic River Blues: @Listener James: hahahaha
	11:08am john: https://www.arsnovaworkshop.org/programs/sun-ra-arkestra-marshall-allen-birthday-2021/
	11:08am Barney Grubbs: @henry: the voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative! (had to look it up)
	11:08am solhnyc: Just make see Devine and what was his name in the supreme team your theme music for a bit...
	11:09am Trouble: thank you @susan! i am going to imagine that you just dropped off an onigiri for me from our local jewel called koro koro! and it is delicious!!!
	11:10am Trouble: merci@ sydnius!
	11:11am Webhamster Henry: @Barney - Indeed - to the English ear is sounds like 'sh' but it isn't, just like English, Italian and French 'r' (and Portuguese) shouldn't be using the same letter.
	11:12am alan the painter: AND!!! the Arkestra is playing LIVE at the Woodlands Mansion, in Philadelphia, postponed till TONIGHT! 6p prompt! Ars Nova Workshop is producing this event. Come on oUt, I will be Painting LIVE!
	11:12am Passaic River Blues: @Alan: that's awesome!
	11:14am Trouble: sounds amazing@alan the painter!!
	11:15am alan the painter: Thank you Trouble, Providence will be with me!
	11:17am Mark Williams: we have a lamp that's in the shape of the Moon, craters and all. 3D printing.
	11:22am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks for the Arkestra this morning, Trouble! One of my big regrets in life is sleeping on getting tickets to see The Arkestra play at a roller rink in Seattle a few years back.
	11:26am Trouble: that sounds like it would have been super fun@tim. large spaces allow them to snake/ parade through the crowd, it's pretty magical.
	11:31am Fishtown Mike: @Alan, thanks for the info!
	11:32am tim from champaign (now washington): @Trouble - I've been told that bands set up in the center of the roller rink and skating is allowed during performances. I agree with you that the Arkestra would have a lot of fun in that environment.
	11:34am Trouble: wow! @ tim!
	11:37am markinbrooklyn: Hey, here are a coupla WFST links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTpf9zr9FTI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzxDHyoytoE
	11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): Go Marshall!
	11:38am john: gah, sun ra sold out
	11:46am markinbrooklyn: oops, this is the one to check first: https://www.mixcloud.com/abstraktsoundz/1982-world-famous-supreme-team-anniversary-radio-show-whbi-1059fm-new-york/
	11:47am headcleaner: since we're on the subject: when Brazilians say 'Tim Maia', it's usually pretty close to the IPA given on his Wikipedia entry - [tʃĩ ˈmajɐ] - so at the end you do have that strongly nasalized "eehn" sound, almost as if you were saying 'team' but without fully pronouncing the 'm'. That's the [ĩ] part. And there's usually a connecting "sh"-like sound between /t/ and /ĩ/ - it could in fact be /ʃ/ but it's usually a bit softer, more like the /ɕ/ that is today's favorite phoneme. But at the end of the day, it's a connecting sound that doesn't neatly fit into the descriptions of the primary vowels + stops that most words are defined by. And again, there's lots of speaker variance - you usually hear it but sometimes you don't (even in Tim Maia songs). Same applies to the 'ti'/'te' and 'di'/'de' throughout most of Brazilian Portuguese, btw. Which is of course not to say the DJ that Trouble got her advice from is wrong of course - just that it takes time to get used to hearing these distinctions. So by saying "Teem" rather than "Tim" at least one is moving in the right direction...
	11:49am Mike W: Quietly been enjoying the &%#@ out of today’s show as a newly unemployed unit, thank you @Trouble
	11:49am PaulRobeson1920: HaPpPy 97th! Marshall Allen!!!
	11:50am Mike W: also old enough to have seen the Arkestra led by Sun Ra (1990, Mpls)...and unemployed. That’s good though, right? Middle-age and unemployed?? SOMEONE TELL ME THIS IS GOOD
	11:52am Trouble: so sorry to hear about your unemployment status mikew, but happy to hear you have had the pleasure of seeing sun ra live
	11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the delightful three-hour tour this morning, Trouble. Have a nice holiday weekend.
	11:53am tim from champaign (now washington): @Mike W - it is good!
	11:53am Mike W: Thanks! And um actually...i done made this leap myself. To enable more leaps! (At least that’s the plan, so far as I know it!)
	11:54am Mike W: The best part about growing older is coming to terms with the fact that you’ve never really understood anything. The only thing is to be kinder, in increasing ways, every day.
	11:55am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today! see you next week
	11:56am Trouble: trauma recovery event in JC: tinyurl.com/jcmay28 hosted by jersey city public library
	11:56am tim from champaign (now washington): @Mike - you said it perfectly. Thanks for the wonderful sounds today, Trouble!
	11:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: Thank you!
	11:59am headcleaner: @MikeW - other than the not earning money part, it is in fact a good thing for you (spiritually). Because this is the time of our live when we start to realize (internally, intuitively, rather than from ideology) how unnecessary and existentially pointless most "work" has become
	11:59am Threemoons: Thank you!

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.

	10:58am Hubig Pie: And remember kidz It's pronounced Zy-you Zy-you
	10:59am Malcolm: @markinbrooklyn cool! do you have a link?
	11:02am Eric Kilkenny: Gooood morning Trouble and modern worldererers
	11:03am Jason from Houston: LOL
	11:03am Matthew: Your French is hot
	11:04am Hubig Pie: Shoe Shoe is correct,me thinks I got the alternative pronunciation from a college radio Dj
	11:04am redbee: Friend-of-a-friend is a former band-member, and I remember "shoe-shoe" was the way they said it
	11:05am Webhamster Henry: 'X' in pinyin is pronounced 'Hs'.
	11:06am Barney Grubbs: The Xiu Xiu guy says is "Shi-yu Shi-yu" (at least as of 2008): commons.wikimedia.org... (unless they're prononuncing it shwee shwee)
	11:06am redbee: The bigger question is how do you pronounce "rhum". If Rhode Islanders pronounce "room" as "rum", then surely "rhum" sounds like everyone else saying "room"
	11:07am Barney Grubbs: (also the "iu" in Pinyin is normally more like a condensed "eeyo")
	11:07am listener james from westwood: @Trouble, how long did Matt Warwick play that Felder cut?! I say crank the Supreme Team track each week as well!
	11:07am Webhamster Henry: Technically, X -> "/ɕ/"
	11:07am partyfinger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rtek0AN0XI She-you she-you

	11:08am solhnyc: Just make see Devine and what was his name in the supreme team your theme music for a bit...
	11:09am Trouble: thank you @susan! i am going to imagine that you just dropped off an onigiri for me from our local jewel called koro koro! and it is delicious!!!
	11:10am Trouble: merci@ sydnius!
	11:11am Webhamster Henry: @Barney - Indeed - to the English ear is sounds like 'sh' but it isn't, just like English, Italian and French 'r' (and Portuguese) shouldn't be using the same letter.
	11:12am alan the painter: AND!!! the Arkestra is playing LIVE at the Woodlands Mansion, in Philadelphia, postponed till TONIGHT! 6p prompt! Ars Nova Workshop is producing this event. Come on oUt, I will be Painting LIVE!
	11:12am Passaic River Blues: @Alan: that's awesome!
	11:14am Trouble: sounds amazing@alan the painter!!
	11:15am alan the painter: Thank you Trouble, Providence will be with me!
	11:17am Mark Williams: we have a lamp that's in the shape of the Moon, craters and all. 3D printing.
	11:22am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks for the Arkestra this morning, Trouble! One of my big regrets in life is sleeping on getting tickets to see The Arkestra play at a roller rink in Seattle a few years back.
	11:26am Trouble: that sounds like it would have been super fun@tim. large spaces allow them to snake/ parade through the crowd, it's pretty magical.
	11:31am Fishtown Mike: @Alan, thanks for the info!
	11:32am tim from champaign (now washington): @Trouble - I've been told that bands set up in the center of the roller rink and skating is allowed during performances. I agree with you that the Arkestra would have a lot of fun in that environment.
	11:34am Trouble: wow! @ tim!
	11:37am markinbrooklyn: Hey, here are a coupla WFST links: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTpf9zr9FTI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzxDHyoytoE
	11:37am tim from champaign (now washington): Go Marshall!
	11:38am john: gah, sun ra sold out
	11:46am markinbrooklyn: oops, this is the one to check first: https://www.mixcloud.com/abstraktsoundz/1982-world-famous-supreme-team-anniversary-radio-show-whbi-1059fm-new-york/
	11:47am headcleaner: since we're on the subject: when Brazilians say 'Tim Maia', it's usually pretty close to the IPA given on his Wikipedia entry - [tʃĩ ˈmajɐ] - so at the end you do have that strongly nasalized "eehn" sound, almost as if you were saying 'team' but without fully pronouncing the 'm'. That's the [ĩ] part. And there's usually a connecting "sh"-like sound between /t/ and /ĩ/ - it could in fact be /ʃ/ but it's usually a bit softer, more like the /ɕ/ that is today's favorite phoneme. But at the end of the day, it's a connecting sound that doesn't neatly fit into the descriptions of the primary vowels + stops that most words are defined by. And again, there's lots of speaker variance - you usually hear it but sometimes you don't (even in Tim Maia songs). Same applies to the 'ti'/'te' and 'di'/'de' throughout most of Brazilian Portuguese, btw. Which is of course not to say the DJ that Trouble got her advice from is wrong of course - just that it takes time to get used to hearing these distinctions. So by saying "Teem" rather than "Tim" at least one is moving in the right direction...
	11:49am Mike W: Quietly been enjoying the &%#@ out of today’s show as a newly unemployed unit, thank you @Trouble
	11:49am PaulRobeson1920: HaPpPy 97th! Marshall Allen!!!
	11:50am Mike W: also old enough to have seen the Arkestra led by Sun Ra (1990, Mpls)...and unemployed. That’s good though, right? Middle-age and unemployed?? SOMEONE TELL ME THIS IS GOOD
	11:52am Trouble: so sorry to hear about your unemployment status mikew, but happy to hear you have had the pleasure of seeing sun ra live
	11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the delightful three-hour tour this morning, Trouble. Have a nice holiday weekend.
	11:53am tim from champaign (now washington): @Mike W - it is good!
	11:53am Mike W: Thanks! And um actually...i done made this leap myself. To enable more leaps! (At least that’s the plan, so far as I know it!)
	11:54am Mike W: The best part about growing older is coming to terms with the fact that you’ve never really understood anything. The only thing is to be kinder, in increasing ways, every day.
	11:55am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today! see you next week
	11:56am Trouble: trauma recovery event in JC: tinyurl.com/jcmay28 hosted by jersey city public library
	11:56am tim from champaign (now washington): @Mike - you said it perfectly. Thanks for the wonderful sounds today, Trouble!
	11:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Passaic River Blues: Thank you!
	11:59am headcleaner: @MikeW - other than the not earning money part, it is in fact a good thing for you (spiritually). Because this is the time of our live when we start to realize (internally, intuitively, rather than from ideology) how unnecessary and existentially pointless most "work" has become
	11:59am Threemoons: Thank you!
