	11:01am Listening Out There: Just got here. I like the Kolsrud painting....
	11:02am Kpx: TDK60: Just a heads up, word is the calendar police are looking for you. Something about your not qualified to give event dates, and a big fat fine for giving incorrect info. I don't think beer and soda going to fix it. Maybe pack a few bags and take it on the lamb.
	11:03am βrian: "Baaa!"
	11:04am TDK60: KPX: Looks like I'll have to hold a healing circle there before the show. Somewhere in the shade?
	11:05am alan the painter: Trouble, U the best!
	11:07am shobhi: I love those Ali Smith books. I love all her books, in fact.

	11:10am alanr: Music lovers: today begins the 25th annual Vision Festival in NYC and you might enjoy one of the films being shown: vimeo.com...
	11:11am xtrakrispy: Another Lost Summer by Blanche always summed up that "summer feeling" for me: youtu.be...
	11:11am ACIDCAJUAL88: I discovered LEFT BANK BOOKS and came home with an issue of HERESIES http://heresiesfilmproject.org/
	11:11am Passaic River Blues: @Jason: I love that Le Guin.
	11:12am mary: Kafka on the Shore
	11:13am Vivian: Just finished Seth Rogen's Yearbook and Haruki Murakami's Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki. About to start a bio on Diane Arbus.
	11:13am Listening Out There: Am reading "I Came as a Shadow," biography of Georgetown coach John Thompson. In addition to the basketball stories, his insights and approach to race make great reading. Next book on deck: "A World on the Wing," about bird migration. Yes, I like non-fiction...
	11:14am alan the painter: great painting pick, following a name search found an article on 20 artists, good read.
	11:14am Kpx: Are you nuts man! No time for that hippie dippie stuff. Ask chresti if you can hold up at her and Franco's pad. Don't delay, beat feet. ASAP!
	11:14am ledzeppelinsucks: Left Bank is in a tourist disaster area.
	11:16am TDK60: Kpx. I think I'll stay and just keep a low profile. Wear a mask! And not my WFMU T-shirt.
	11:16am headcleaner: With considerable effort, just finished the first half of Clarice Lispector's _Perto do coracão selvagem_ (in that language). We'll see how the _segunda parte_ goes.
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Reading a lot while sick. Finished Aliya Whitely, The Loosening Skin. And hurtling through Annalee Newitz, Autonomous. I guess fever or no, I have to take the book out to the car in a few mins. and ride out some time there. Thanks, Trouble.
	11:19am headcleaner: In parallel (when in a less strenuous frame of mind), Robert Hughes's excellent _Barcelona_, in hopes of going there fairly soon
	11:19am Archmo: Reading "the great circle" by Maggie shipstead
	11:20am Jason from Houston: First time read, Passaic River Blues. It was a struggle through the first 1/3 or so just because it was difficult for me to settle into language/worlds. Regardless, it is a good one.
	11:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I just finished Nelson Algren's Man With The Golden Arm. Really well-written but man, super-depressing.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: It's a cool place, headcleaner. We have a good friend there who has arranged a free place to stay for us a couple of times.
	11:22am Zinn The Mood: Brilliant discourse on the pressures of complying with public or peer pressure, as driven by an Uber consumerist/capitalist society here in the Greatest Country In The World(tm). Been reading Don DeLillo, who writes about the emptiness and capture of culture by the, media and advertising. David Foster Wallace, who I’m a fan of, often credited him as a major influence and corresponded with him. The edition of White Noise I just finished has a nice chunky afterward of essays, reviews and cortical takes on his work that has inspired further reading. This morning it led me to the French philosopher Baudillard (sp?). On a similar note heard Roger Waters interviewed on a good radical YouTube show, about the latest media hysteria propaganda about Cuba (which I refuse to follow). In it however he effusively praised the latest Raoul Peck film on HBO called Exterminate All The Brutes. It takes its title doc the Joseph Conrad book Heart of Darkness, which I also started re-reading. Just one more, for folks who find themselves as I do lamenting the world that Trouble eloquently described as alienating those who don’t want to participate in the trappings of the forced “fun” of summer and its attendant pressure to consume, look beautiful all the time, etc Christopher Hitchens book “Letters To A Young Contrarian” is so full of glittering nuggets for the outcast dissident. Will link some as soon as I can…
	11:22am Passaic River Blues: @headcleaner: I just picked up Colm Toibin's "Homage to Barcelona" from a free library box in Newark. Love that guy.
	11:23am rx scabin: SAULT!
	11:23am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	11:25am Yes: this is a jaam
	11:25am Zinn The Mood: Carl Sagan (in 1995): “I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.”
	11:25am listener james from westwood: Seconding SAULT!
	11:27am βrian: Ity's the summer of Sault, it seems.
	11:27am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): That Sagan quote is amazing. Also, chilling.
	11:28am Dr. No: Whoa!!!! Nice percussion break marching band or whatever.
	11:29am E: Air France is my favorite!
	11:29am adam: @passaic river- is that book a reply to Orwell homage to Catalonia re the Spanish Civil War? I'm reading Bernstein's the madness of crowds
	11:30am headcleaner: Handy - yup, made my first visit to BCN shortly before the pandemic + was instantly enthralled
	11:31am Kpx: TDK60: you got nerve, but to be extra sure get one of those fake glasses nose mustache mask,, and wear a extra extra extra big pair of shoes. That should confuse em..
	11:31am Andres: Back to back great!
	11:31am Kpx: TDK60: you got nerve, but to be extra sure get one of those fake glasses nose mustache mask,, and wear a extra extra extra big pair of shoes. That should confuse em..
	11:32am headcleaner: Passaic - putting "Homage to Barcelona" on my list, molt gracies!
	11:32am TDK60: Kpx: I'll avoid anyone in WFMU T-shirts. I might even fake 'em out, walk up to someone with a WFMU T and ask them what/where WFMU is, then disappear into the night...
	11:33am listener james from westwood: Ken’s gotta get in there with the Jersey 🤌🏻.
	11:33am listener james from westwood: Ah, shit, that should be the "pizza chef kiss/Italian hand" emoji.
	11:34am Zinn The Mood: David Foster Wallace: “In this country we’re unprecedentedly safe, comfortable, and well fed, with more and better venues for stimulation. And yet if you were asked, ‘Is this a happy or unhappy country?’ you’d check the ‘unhappy’ box. We’re living in an era of emotional poverty, which is something that serious drug addicts feel most keenly.” “Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved. Drugs, movies where stuff blows up, loud parties -- all these chase away loneliness by making me forget my name's Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know. Fiction, poetry, music, really deep serious sex, and, in various ways, religion -- these are the places (for me) where loneliness is countenanced, stared down, transfigured, treated."
	11:35am Passaic River Blues: @Zinn & Woods à NH: what a sadly prescient quote! @Adam: I believe Toibin's book is inspired by/broadly references Orwell. I loved "Homage to Catalonia" and Toibin is a great stylist, so I've got my hopes up for this one.
	11:36am Mike W.: This is a main reason I left NYC, the East Village was becoming treacherous, routinely, streets and sidewalks and distended restaurant space and and and my dog.
	11:37am Ken From Hyde Park: @ljfw - That emoji looks correct on my Android phone, but not on my Windows laptop. So it's a Microsoft problem.
	11:37am sphere: I hear that New Yorkers are pushing hard against outside dining in the meetings held on the issue.
	11:38am Andres: I de-escalated a huge guy in an MMA shirt from punching me in the face when I asked him to use the bike lane instead of the opposite direction sidewalk after he barely avoided me and my family.
	11:40am Adammets: There used to be places to go where one could get away from the commercialism of national chains and whatnot (this was in the early 80s). Do they still exist and where?
	11:41am HyperDose: We gotta share the LOVE, people!
	11:46am TDK60: Reminder: July 24 is on a Saturday this year. The day the Sun Ra Arkestra is due to play SummerStage fest in Central Park, at Rumsey Playfield (approx. 72nd St., carless there.) Doors 5, show 7. Joined by Sistazz of the Nitty Gritty.
	11:46am waters7: Nobody beats Trouble.
	11:47am melinda: Great covers
	11:48am Mike W.: Trouble dot biz
	11:49am headcleaner: Adammets - they're kind of all around, if one is willing to put in a bit of effort (and literally make lists of addresses and such). For example, even in Manhattan there are still several high-quality independent hardware stores (Warshaw, Garber's, Midtown Lumber) you can use to cut your Home Depot trips down by 90 percent. Similarly, it's not too hard to find a non-chain pharmacies - if not on the next corner, then on your normal route to somewhere
	11:52am βrian: Continental Subway is arriving on the hour: wfmu.org...
	11:52am Dr. No: Annette never disappoints. The ring modulated vocal stuff is far and away amazing.
	11:53am Kpx: TDK60: Your right, it got me all discombobulated . And on a different note, my texts seem to be duplicating , so thanks trouble . Bye
	11:53am waters7: You're killing me with joy today, baby!
	11:54am TDK60: Merci, Trouble.
	11:54am paul: Sounds a lot like the Beautiful South
	11:55am Mike W.: You can always trust Roddy Frame to breeze in at the 11th hour (a.m.) to save the day.
	11:56am headcleaner: Similary, I onlly to into Whole Foods once every few weeks for the short list of things I can't get at farmer's markets + independent grocers. So while it's difficult to eradicate one's dependence on national chains - we can whittle it down very substantially
	11:56am Reno D: Another wonderful edition, Trouble! Merci!
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today. see you next week. evan funk is in for pseu today, up next
	11:57am peter in SEA: Bon jour Trouble and listeners, I overslept on the left coast! Looking forward to finding out whether Brigitte Fontaine really is crazy— in the archives! Happy Thursday!
	11:58am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The member-owned-and-operated food co-op in Brooklyn...
	11:58am radioronan: Thanks Trouble!
	11:58am Planet Tyler: <3 Roddy Frame
	11:58am Planet Tyler: Thanks!
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. I notice my link at 9:54 shows the Sun Ra event Saturday is being live-streamed for those not at the park that evening.
	11:59am Jason from Houston: Stay safe, stay sweet, good people.
	11:59am Mike W.: Aztec into Prefab, the segue my brain did way.
	11:59am melinda: @headcleaner that's what I do too. There is a great semi-local chocolate they carry which isn't available at my co-op.
	12:00pm Kpx: Ah! i meant, Merci

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.

	11:01am Listening Out There: Just got here. I like the Kolsrud painting....
	11:02am Kpx: TDK60: Just a heads up, word is the calendar police are looking for you. Something about your not qualified to give event dates, and a big fat fine for giving incorrect info. I don't think beer and soda going to fix it. Maybe pack a few bags and take it on the lamb.
	11:03am βrian: "Baaa!"
	11:04am TDK60: KPX: Looks like I'll have to hold a healing circle there before the show. Somewhere in the shade?
	11:05am alan the painter: Trouble, U the best!
	11:07am shobhi: I love those Ali Smith books. I love all her books, in fact.
	11:10am ledzeppelinsucks: Mexican Food Menus
	11:10am Jason from Houston: Slooooooow reader here but currently on the back end of Left Hand of Darkness.
	11:10am alanr: Music lovers: today begins the 25th annual Vision Festival in NYC and you might enjoy one of the films being shown: vimeo.com...
	11:11am xtrakrispy: Another Lost Summer by Blanche always summed up that "summer feeling" for me: youtu.be...
	11:11am ACIDCAJUAL88: I discovered LEFT BANK BOOKS and came home with an issue of HERESIES http://heresiesfilmproject.org/
	11:11am Passaic River Blues: @Jason: I love that Le Guin.
	11:12am mary: Kafka on the Shore
	11:13am Vivian: Just finished Seth Rogen's Yearbook and Haruki Murakami's Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki. About to start a bio on Diane Arbus.
	11:13am Listening Out There: Am reading "I Came as a Shadow," biography of Georgetown coach John Thompson. In addition to the basketball stories, his insights and approach to race make great reading. Next book on deck: "A World on the Wing," about bird migration. Yes, I like non-fiction...
	11:14am alan the painter: great painting pick, following a name search found an article on 20 artists, good read.
	11:14am Kpx: Are you nuts man! No time for that hippie dippie stuff. Ask chresti if you can hold up at her and Franco's pad. Don't delay, beat feet. ASAP!
	11:14am ledzeppelinsucks: Left Bank is in a tourist disaster area.
	11:16am TDK60: Kpx. I think I'll stay and just keep a low profile. Wear a mask! And not my WFMU T-shirt.
	11:16am headcleaner: With considerable effort, just finished the first half of Clarice Lispector's _Perto do coracão selvagem_ (in that language). We'll see how the _segunda parte_ goes.
	11:17am Handy Haversack: Reading a lot while sick. Finished Aliya Whitely, The Loosening Skin. And hurtling through Annalee Newitz, Autonomous. I guess fever or no, I have to take the book out to the car in a few mins. and ride out some time there. Thanks, Trouble.
	11:19am headcleaner: In parallel (when in a less strenuous frame of mind), Robert Hughes's excellent _Barcelona_, in hopes of going there fairly soon
	11:19am Archmo: Reading "the great circle" by Maggie shipstead
	11:20am Jason from Houston: First time read, Passaic River Blues. It was a struggle through the first 1/3 or so just because it was difficult for me to settle into language/worlds. Regardless, it is a good one.
	11:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I just finished Nelson Algren's Man With The Golden Arm. Really well-written but man, super-depressing.
	11:21am Handy Haversack: It's a cool place, headcleaner. We have a good friend there who has arranged a free place to stay for us a couple of times.
	11:22am Zinn The Mood: Brilliant discourse on the pressures of complying with public or peer pressure, as driven by an Uber consumerist/capitalist society here in the Greatest Country In The World(tm). Been reading Don DeLillo, who writes about the emptiness and capture of culture by the, media and advertising. David Foster Wallace, who I’m a fan of, often credited him as a major influence and corresponded with him. The edition of White Noise I just finished has a nice chunky afterward of essays, reviews and cortical takes on his work that has inspired further reading. This morning it led me to the French philosopher Baudillard (sp?). On a similar note heard Roger Waters interviewed on a good radical YouTube show, about the latest media hysteria propaganda about Cuba (which I refuse to follow). In it however he effusively praised the latest Raoul Peck film on HBO called Exterminate All The Brutes. It takes its title doc the Joseph Conrad book Heart of Darkness, which I also started re-reading. Just one more, for folks who find themselves as I do lamenting the world that Trouble eloquently described as alienating those who don’t want to participate in the trappings of the forced “fun” of summer and its attendant pressure to consume, look beautiful all the time, etc Christopher Hitchens book “Letters To A Young Contrarian” is so full of glittering nuggets for the outcast dissident. Will link some as soon as I can…
	11:22am Passaic River Blues: @headcleaner: I just picked up Colm Toibin's "Homage to Barcelona" from a free library box in Newark. Love that guy.
	11:23am rx scabin: SAULT!
	11:23am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	11:25am Yes: this is a jaam
	11:25am Zinn The Mood: Carl Sagan (in 1995): “I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.”
	11:25am listener james from westwood: Seconding SAULT!
	11:27am βrian: Ity's the summer of Sault, it seems.
	11:27am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): That Sagan quote is amazing. Also, chilling.
	11:28am Dr. No: Whoa!!!! Nice percussion break marching band or whatever.
	11:29am E: Air France is my favorite!
	11:29am adam: @passaic river- is that book a reply to Orwell homage to Catalonia re the Spanish Civil War? I'm reading Bernstein's the madness of crowds
	11:30am headcleaner: Handy - yup, made my first visit to BCN shortly before the pandemic + was instantly enthralled
	11:31am Kpx: TDK60: you got nerve, but to be extra sure get one of those fake glasses nose mustache mask,, and wear a extra extra extra big pair of shoes. That should confuse em..
	11:31am Andres: Back to back great!
	11:31am Kpx: TDK60: you got nerve, but to be extra sure get one of those fake glasses nose mustache mask,, and wear a extra extra extra big pair of shoes. That should confuse em..
	11:32am headcleaner: Passaic - putting "Homage to Barcelona" on my list, molt gracies!
	11:32am TDK60: Kpx: I'll avoid anyone in WFMU T-shirts. I might even fake 'em out, walk up to someone with a WFMU T and ask them what/where WFMU is, then disappear into the night...
	11:33am listener james from westwood: Ken’s gotta get in there with the Jersey 🤌🏻.
	11:33am listener james from westwood: Ah, shit, that should be the "pizza chef kiss/Italian hand" emoji.
	11:34am Zinn The Mood: David Foster Wallace: “In this country we’re unprecedentedly safe, comfortable, and well fed, with more and better venues for stimulation. And yet if you were asked, ‘Is this a happy or unhappy country?’ you’d check the ‘unhappy’ box. We’re living in an era of emotional poverty, which is something that serious drug addicts feel most keenly.” “Fiction is one of the few experiences where loneliness can be both confronted and relieved. Drugs, movies where stuff blows up, loud parties -- all these chase away loneliness by making me forget my name's Dave and I live in a one-by-one box of bone no other party can penetrate or know. Fiction, poetry, music, really deep serious sex, and, in various ways, religion -- these are the places (for me) where loneliness is countenanced, stared down, transfigured, treated."
	11:35am Passaic River Blues: @Zinn & Woods à NH: what a sadly prescient quote! @Adam: I believe Toibin's book is inspired by/broadly references Orwell. I loved "Homage to Catalonia" and Toibin is a great stylist, so I've got my hopes up for this one.
	11:36am Mike W.: This is a main reason I left NYC, the East Village was becoming treacherous, routinely, streets and sidewalks and distended restaurant space and and and my dog.
	11:37am Ken From Hyde Park: @ljfw - That emoji looks correct on my Android phone, but not on my Windows laptop. So it's a Microsoft problem.
	11:37am sphere: I hear that New Yorkers are pushing hard against outside dining in the meetings held on the issue.
	11:38am Andres: I de-escalated a huge guy in an MMA shirt from punching me in the face when I asked him to use the bike lane instead of the opposite direction sidewalk after he barely avoided me and my family.
	11:40am Adammets: There used to be places to go where one could get away from the commercialism of national chains and whatnot (this was in the early 80s). Do they still exist and where?
	11:41am HyperDose: We gotta share the LOVE, people!
	11:46am TDK60: Reminder: July 24 is on a Saturday this year. The day the Sun Ra Arkestra is due to play SummerStage fest in Central Park, at Rumsey Playfield (approx. 72nd St., carless there.) Doors 5, show 7. Joined by Sistazz of the Nitty Gritty.
	11:46am waters7: Nobody beats Trouble.
	11:47am melinda: Great covers
	11:48am Mike W.: Trouble dot biz
	11:49am headcleaner: Adammets - they're kind of all around, if one is willing to put in a bit of effort (and literally make lists of addresses and such). For example, even in Manhattan there are still several high-quality independent hardware stores (Warshaw, Garber's, Midtown Lumber) you can use to cut your Home Depot trips down by 90 percent. Similarly, it's not too hard to find a non-chain pharmacies - if not on the next corner, then on your normal route to somewhere
	11:52am βrian: Continental Subway is arriving on the hour: wfmu.org...
	11:52am Dr. No: Annette never disappoints. The ring modulated vocal stuff is far and away amazing.
	11:53am Kpx: TDK60: Your right, it got me all discombobulated . And on a different note, my texts seem to be duplicating , so thanks trouble . Bye
	11:53am waters7: You're killing me with joy today, baby!
	11:54am TDK60: Merci, Trouble.
	11:54am paul: Sounds a lot like the Beautiful South
	11:55am Mike W.: You can always trust Roddy Frame to breeze in at the 11th hour (a.m.) to save the day.
	11:56am headcleaner: Similary, I onlly to into Whole Foods once every few weeks for the short list of things I can't get at farmer's markets + independent grocers. So while it's difficult to eradicate one's dependence on national chains - we can whittle it down very substantially
	11:56am Reno D: Another wonderful edition, Trouble! Merci!
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today. see you next week. evan funk is in for pseu today, up next
	11:57am peter in SEA: Bon jour Trouble and listeners, I overslept on the left coast! Looking forward to finding out whether Brigitte Fontaine really is crazy— in the archives! Happy Thursday!
	11:58am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The member-owned-and-operated food co-op in Brooklyn...
	11:58am radioronan: Thanks Trouble!
	11:58am Planet Tyler: <3 Roddy Frame
	11:58am Planet Tyler: Thanks!
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. I notice my link at 9:54 shows the Sun Ra event Saturday is being live-streamed for those not at the park that evening.
	11:59am Jason from Houston: Stay safe, stay sweet, good people.
	11:59am Mike W.: Aztec into Prefab, the segue my brain did way.
	11:59am melinda: @headcleaner that's what I do too. There is a great semi-local chocolate they carry which isn't available at my co-op.
	12:00pm Kpx: Ah! i meant, Merci
