	9:06am Strandlund: Good Morning Trouble!! I Love the Sister Corita Kent artwork...I love her art!!
	9:06am Pax: What a rush on WnB. Guess I'll cool down here. Hi Troubles.
	9:07am Yetz: ↳ Pax @9:06 W&B is a zoo, this is more of a calm serene garden.
	9:08am Webhamster Henry: Nice art today Trouble!
	9:09am pot8o: good morning everyone!
	9:09am The Butterman: Sister Corita Kent Art Dept. Rules #1 FIND A PLACE YOU TRUST THEN TRY TRUSTING IT FOR A WHILE
	9:09am Lucky: Such a great record...
	9:09am love2laf: Good morning Trouble, not only a beautiful art piece, but a wry bit of writing. I am not religious, but her choice of words on this is amazing. Good morning WFMU folk.
	9:11am Yetz: ↳ love2laf @9:09 I'm not a professing Christian but C.S.Lewis has always managed to say things that speak to me... OTOH he wrote those awful Narnia books so it's a wash I guess
	9:11am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble, the last of england or should I say UK. How appropriate. King Charles 111 coronation coming soon. A royal soap opera.
	9:12am Brian in UK: ↳ Yetz @9:11 Was Aslan, God?
	9:12am Waka: What was that song a moment ago that suddenly stopped? Or was that my connection?
	9:13am Brian in UK: To the garden & some bird song.
	9:13am Robm: ↳ Waka @9:12 Your connection, have not been interrupted
	9:13am Dan from Delco: Used to go to Luxembourg frequently. Cool little country. Never did any sketching though.
	9:14am Trouble: check out this fab version of sr corita's art rules: caitlinkeegan.com... by wfmu listener and supporter caitlin keegan
	9:14am Yetz: ↳ Brian in UK @9:12 It's too long since I read and mercifully forgot those books, but wasn't Aslan killed and then came back? That would make him Christ IMO.
	9:14am Pax: ↳ Yetz @9:07 How's about sharing a cool glass of htc ice tea with me. That is if I was going to actually indulge in that particular chemical instead of inhaling it.
	9:14am jbjb: Looked up the price of this album. It's around $8 - $20 in Europe, $70 in the US.
	9:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @9:11 Ha, and I'm all "Lewis would have been great if he weren't Christian, but at least we have Narnia."
	9:18am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Nice gentle sounds to start the day, Trouble
	9:18am love2laf: ↳ Yetz @9:11 We take the words we love, and hold them close. Different words speak to different people, and at different times. As a child, I adored the Narnia books. As an adult, it no longer worked for me.
	9:21am TDK60: Is this a mention books being read kind of day?
	9:22am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and Thursday people, a calm and elegant utopia is what I wish for today please :-)
	9:22am Joe Mulligan 🦀: As a kid I procrastinated reading Prince Caspian for the summer reading list. My siblings called me Prince Cats Behind
	9:22am Trouble: @tdk60: it's ALWAYS a mention books that you are reading kind of day on thursdays...
	9:24am Webhamster Henry: Narnia: My son is kind of hooked on Turkish Delight, I hope that's not a bad sign.
	9:24am Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @9:18 Well, they're kids' books, so that probably tracks.
	9:28am Ironside: Morning Trouble and fellow Trouble-makers. This music is gorgeous this morning. The calm vibe is resonating in the soul.
	9:29am abbazabba: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @9:22 HA! That's a good one
	9:29am PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:24 Ray Noble's version youtu.be...
	9:30am TDK60: ↳ Trouble @9:22 Well then, I'm re-reading, after four decades, Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness.
	9:30am Nelo: Hello hello. Good Morning and happy afternoon y‘all.
	9:31am Hughie Considine: Now that's a segue.
	9:31am love2laf: ↳ Song: "many singing softly" by "rocco deluca" There are always songs on this show that completely enthrall Erin the kitty, and this one has her ears swiveling and her head turning, following all the sounds of the pedal steel. She's following along to the next tune as well.
	9:31am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:30 Such a good book!
	9:32am Lerch: This set is really taking me places.
	9:32am Zinn The Mood: Nice grey day to you all, Trouble and Troublemakers. Great vibe in the selections, as always. Went to a dream place last night in this decaying city of ours dominated by corporate franchises and financial parasites. A place for the People. Indeed, simply called peoplesforum.org Explicitly socialist, as displayed on the awning. A hub for education, films, reading groups, author presentations, poetry, music, activist engagement. There’s a cafe/bar, an impressive library (soon to be lending), bookstore and the Eslanda and Paul Robeson theater that shows films. Last night they showed a film called “Powerlands” (ccrjustice.org...). Was a loving, uplifting and in-depth look at how Indigeneous People, from the Navajos to tribes in the Philippines, Mexico and Brazil are fighting back against the local corporate onslaught of mining in their communities - and winning. Stories told through the eyes of the women who often lead the resistance. Highly recommended. Personally, I’ve needed some real, connective uplift. The fact that a film sought these people struggling and gave their causes a platform, and that through it a new, invigorated sense of community developed, is pretty much what it’s all about. Especially in such an alienating society dominated by social media, having to have convenience at any cost, consumerism and the capitalist treadmill.
	9:32am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "some velvet morning" by "nancy sinatra/ lee hazel... Obligatory WFMU link: www.wfmu.org...
	9:32am Ironside: ↳ Trouble @9:22 My current reading obsession is Labyrinths from Jorge Borges. The short stories are amazing. The endless library haunts my brain.
	9:32am Micheal: Always wondered what Frank thought of this one.
	9:33am rx scabin: Reading the Cosey Fanni Tutti autobiography. Very interesting. P-Orridge does not come off well.
	9:33am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:31 Good mornin' Handy! Yes, Le Guin's writing is still vibrant to me, and the concepts still controversial. Ahem!
	9:34am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Micheal @9:32 Frank was marired to Mia Farrow at the time.
	9:34am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ironside @9:32 Such a good book!
	9:35am tim from washington: Hello Trouble and everyone!
	9:35am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:32 Thanks for this, Zinn!
	9:35am Alan the painter: Ah, good mooring/morning, coaxing me , soothing my ears, thinking of hot water while absorbing sun’s rays crowsnest South stern staring at a Zagar mural reflecting…
	9:36am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "some velvet morning" by "nancy sinatra/ lee hazel... Frank Sinatra's greatest contribution to music was Nancy.
	9:36am John L: ↳ Song: "tonala, autumn leaf, sketches of luxenbourg, the ... Alexander Tucker recently released a new album and book honoring Derek Jarman and Keith Collins. I think it's worth the price; here is the Bandcamp link:alexandertucker.bandcamp.com...
	9:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:32 And thanks for THAT, WHH!
	9:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @9:36 With you on this.
	9:39am Handy Haversack: I find myself strangely grateful and agreeable this morning! Must be the good sounds. And that Goblin has been asleep on my lap for almost an hour.
	9:40am rx scabin: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:37 I don't know. Wee Small Hours is something good.
	9:40am tim from washington: ↳ rx scabin @9:33 I'm a big fan of Cosey's autobiography! I've also been raving about her recent book Re-Sisters. Yeah, it seems that Genesis shares the unfortunate trait some artists have of creating really good music/art but they are also terrible people. I believe Cosey. She was there.
	9:40am Joe Mulligan 🦀: What did they have to say about genesis RX?
	9:40am T GRavel: ↳ Song: "persistence of memory, the bridge, hymn for thatc... coooooool
	9:40am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:37 I've never seen The Last of England, yet. I just ordered it from the NYC public library!
	9:41am Trouble: if you are interested the book about derek jarden's garden is also stellar...
	9:41am rx scabin: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @9:40 Sort of self-centered opportunistic jerk. Also, selfish at an industrial level.
	9:43am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:32 Zinn, though I've never been there, I am aware that last summer the People's Forum was harassed by rightists and cops, who stormed the facility.
	9:44am Nelo: Endless and fantastic bookshelves reminds me of The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. Highly recommended
	9:48am bobobob fabtriplasticland: Lou Reed
	9:48am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @9:40 These two tunes have piqued my interest in a big way. Think I just found the film on YouTube…looks like something to make the time to see. Thanks, Trouble!
	9:49am Nelo: @ironside I just looked Borges up. That does look super interesting!
	9:50am T GRavel: Eid Mubarak
	9:50am SHAGALOV: Good morning my favorite @Trouble ❤️
	9:51am Katy_bar_the_door: This set feels like a setup for Primal Scream's Evil Heat.
	9:52am Joe Mulligan 🦀: That seems to track rx. I saw him in a small room panel discussion, CMJ festival NYC 1989.. he had to interrupt asking who has done acid. The panel was with KRS -one and about hip hop and genesis’ comment was irrelevant/selfish attention seeking
	9:53am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:48 Zinn, you might also be interested in the Interference Archive, an archive of social movement pieces - posters, leaflets, zines, newspapers, buttons, etc. They usually have an exhibit up on the walls. A little library too. In Park Slope, Brooklyn. Run solely by volunteers.
	9:57am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:37 The 365 Days projects are the gifts that keep on giving!
	9:57am Trouble: interference archive is s super great place!!!
	9:58am Handy Haversack: Goodness, this set.
	9:59am Ironside: ↳ Nelo @9:49 The Starless Sea sounds fantastic Nelo. I'll check it out, thank you! And I can't recommend Labyrinths enough. There's a story called The Circular Ruins where the protagonist dreams a man piece by piece. It's hypnotic. The stories in the collection are super short, but after each story I've felt the need to stop and ponder for a day. So unique.
	10:00am eric from lake hiawatha: I saw Angel Olsen Sunday in North Charleston at the Highwater festival, what a voice what a band she had so much fun, the band had fun. Absolutely go see them
	10:00am JReganK: ↳ Yetz @9:11 Liked "The Screwtape Letters"
	10:00am pot8o: ↳ Trouble @9:57 it's a massive shame i'm so far away from all of these interesting places
	10:02am HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:58 That's what I'm saying
	10:04am Handy Haversack: Yeah, when you find a $20 record these days it's like finding a $10 cocktail in NYC -- almost impossible to believe!
	10:04am ifeelfatnsassy: Ugh, it's so true. I've started buying cassettes again if I feel that I need a physical copy, but more and more I'm just buying digital.
	10:04am Tim in NC: she really is spellbinding live. my one time seeing her was Halloween 2019 in Philly, just after All Mirrors, unforgettable times
	10:05am Reno D: I have no desire to own anything made of vinyl. Can’t they make LPs out of bamboo?
	10:05am Nelo: Borges short stories do sound very interesting. Maybe Piranesi by Susan Clarke could also be a win for you too, Ironside. Check them both out :) Starless Sea is a win for people who like Choose your own Adventures stories and scavenger hunts ⭐️
	10:05am ifeelfatnsassy: To be clear... I prefer vinyl, I still buy vinyl, but I hate spending what vinyl commands now.
	10:06am T GRavel: sorry, say the author's name again? who did you hear speak?
	10:07am Handy Haversack: ↳ Nelo @10:05 Yeah, Piranesi was a good read. I enjoyed it more than her first novel, honestly.
	10:07am Handy Haversack: ↳ T GRavel @10:06 Colm Toibin
	10:07am T GRavel: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:07 oh wow. Cool
	10:08am Trouble: his new book is 'a guest at the feast'
	10:11am JReganK: ↳ ifeelfatnsassy @10:04 I avoid cassettes. All too often they degrade or fall apart. If I had the room for vinyl, I'd buy more. Digital wins hands down
	10:12am oshiwoshi: ↳ Song: "#2" by "akiko yano" what sorcery is this?
	10:13am Acid Cazh: Slacking off work for 2 minutes to pop in and say analog media is my absolute favorite — vinyl, cassette, 8-track, what have you. OK Back to work.
	10:13am Webhamster Henry: ↳ JReganK @10:11 I used to copy LPs to cassette so they wouldn't get scratched. most of those 30-40 year old K7s are just fine! And certainly better than commercially produced cassettes.
	10:14am pot8o: ↳ ifeelfatnsassy @10:05 i only buy vinyl if it's used or if it's an artist i really like, anything else i get digitally
	10:15am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @9:53 Love that place, TDK and Trouble! Wonderful example of people-power preserving our own history and providing a repository for understanding where we come from, revering those who came before us in the struggle for a better world. I remember just after Occupy going down to Gowanus to pick up some May Day posters, pamphlets and flyers. Was so encouraging and inspiring to encounter graphic artists and archivists disseminating the crucial art necessary to going forward while preserving for the future what we were doing. The film last night begins with a middle-aged Navajo woman speaking as the camera sweeps the breathtaking panorama of the Southwest, about how she can trace her descendants back, in light of the grotesque specter of the international mining company upending their lives by savaging their land and poisoning their water, 85 generations! Just one of those goosebumps moments, of which there were a few. These places we’re talking about are so critical in the development of deeper and more personal bonds. When one doesn’t care to learn the real history of society then really, there’s not a lot of hope for a planet in serious climate change peril. Which is due directly to rapacious profiteering in the capitalist economy that most of the world has been held prisoner under. We have no chance of turning back this massive tide if we don’t first acknowledge that we all come from the same place, and tell the stories that unify instead of separate us.
	10:16am JReganK: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:13 So true about commercial cassettes
	10:17am Bernardo: Is this a cover? This is a cover
	10:18am Trouble: @bernanrdo album says written by jeff parker
	10:19am eric from lake hiawatha: @Tim in NC spot on
	10:20am TDK60: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:13 W.Henry: Hear hear!
	10:22am Listener Bryan (the Professor): Logging in just to say how much I love that Jeff Parker record. Happy to hear it on the air!
	10:22am Listener John from NJ: ↳ TDK60 @9:33 You and H. Haversack mentioned U. K. LeGuin . . . I just receved an email reporting that Library of America will be publishing her Collected Poems, at $31.50 (a lot of loot for me). They mention she wrote a lot of poems about cats, and that there's a video of her reading her poetry at www.youtube.com... .
	10:22am Chris Hiatt: And a good late morning to you all. It's a beaut out there.
	10:23am TDK60: ↳ Listener John from NJ @10:22 Listener John: Thanks. Never read her poetery.
	10:23am JReganK: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:13 Concerning 8-Tracks: Are the fade outs between tracks burned into your brain, too? Lol!
	10:24am Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris Hiatt @10:22 Yeah, I have a meeting at 11, and then the dog and I are going to get outside for a bit.
	10:25am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	10:25am Webhamster Henry: Hammered Dulcimer Alert!
	10:26am JReganK: ↳ TDK60 @10:20 May I assume You have a lot of TDK60's in your music collection? Lol!
	10:26am rx scabin: ↳ pot8o @10:00 I feel your pain from the Middle of Nowhere.
	10:27am Stephanie: Can't be so troubled when Trouble is on the radio. Glad to be here, hello everyone!
	10:27am Chicken’s Mom: Holy cow this track is 🔥
	10:29am love2laf: We have reached the halfway mark, and I'm officially clicky starring the whole darn show. Trouble you are doing an amazing show this week. Again! And for those cat folk, Erin the kitty is back to tracking the sounds on this Rufus Harley track.
	10:30am JReganK: ↳ Song: "malika" by "rufus harley" Rufus could charm the sound out of bagpipes
	10:30am Pete from Hoboken: ↳ Trouble @10:08 Someone asked an interesting question yesterday during the Kolm Toibin reading about how he goes about writing conversations with accents (he is Irish and the question was about brogue). His answer was that he doesn’t get hung up on it (spelling out how words are pronounced) and that it often becomes a distraction for the writer and the reader. In his head Irish brogue and “American” English are interwoven- or something like that…
	10:31am Bernardo: ↳ Trouble @10:18 Ah yes Jeff Parker! Haha It was driving me crazy! sorry the playlist still said akiko yano…I guess it hadn’t caught up lol
	10:32am Nelo: Listener John: oh thank you for the info! I can imagine Le Guin writing poems about cats. Sounds great 😊 Good thing we have libraries. This will be fun to check out!
	10:32am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "malika" by "rufus harley" This groove is sponsored by the all powerful high hat cymbals.
	10:34am J in KC: enjoying the show. just swapped out speakers to some old Fisher Console speakers as I was listening.
	10:34am TDK60: ↳ JReganK @10:26 JReganK: Some 60s yes, but actually more 90-minute ones. Maxells too. I can't recall why I chose this WFMU name, and thought about getting another but so far am stuck, on pause you might say.
	10:35am Dave E: I recently saw Rufus Hartley on an old 1960s episode of “To Tell The Truth”. Find it on YouTube. Jazz with bagpipes. Innovative
	10:35am rx scabin: This is an expensive program to listen to for a person who has a tendency and desire to acquire beautiful things.
	10:36am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "the baptist assembly of free spirit churches mass... As a stone heathen I sure like rowdy gospel music.
	10:37am JReganK: ↳ TDK60 @10:34 I've got boxes of Maxells and TDK'S, too. I like your name. It always brings me back to all those cassette recordings of WFMU I made of the terrestrial signal in the 90's!
	10:38am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "the baptist assembly of free spirit churches mass... Praise be!
	10:39am Zipperhead7: Take me to church! Listeners might be interested in a reading by John Curl, a long-time member of Drop City and key figure in Indigenous People's Day, this Saturday afternoon in Washington Heights. Zip'll be there! www.wordupbooks.com...
	10:40am ?: Well good morning!!! Lifting up set, thank you!!!
	10:40am Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "the baptist assembly of free spirit churches mass... I gotta hit mute on this, as someone traumatized by Christianity. It's a little bit too much for me. Will turn the volume back up when I see the track change.
	10:41am TDK60: ↳ JReganK @10:37 JReganK: Oh yes, the need to tape WFMU back then. I still have one such tape a pal made when I lived out of the area. Except they just put in the music, cut out the DJ. / I might change my moniker but would have to put in parentheses ("formerly ___") for a year or so, like I've seen others do.
	10:42am headcleaner: ↳ Song: "the baptist assembly of free spirit churches mass... Good morning, all. Am awake now, thank you very much
	10:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:40 Definitely safe now!
	10:43am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @10:41 But hey, plenty of Brooklyn folksingers have two or three aliases they change every season. So..
	10:44am Trouble: @ handy: jersey city has a large coptic christian egyptian population...
	10:45am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @10:43 I should take up folk. Ramble into Brooklyn all dusty and thirsty..
	10:46am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "eye know" by "de la soul" Yes!
	10:46am Lucky: Yesssss! Love this song.
	10:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @10:44 And they very well might boogie! But gambling that Acid Cazh, like me, doesn't speak the language!
	10:46am T GRavel: ↳ Song: "eye know" by "de la soul" so happy about this re issue
	10:46am Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "eye know" by "de la soul" Daisy Age! I gotta say "Buhloone Mindstate" is a much better album than 3 Feet High+Rising, but this is good stuff too.
	10:48am tim from washington: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:46 Buloone Mindstate is my favorite. I can't wait for that re-issue to get airplay.
	10:48am Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:46 Coptics are a good bit different from other Christians. My wife and I lived in Maspeth through the pandemic (not far from Ridgewood/Bushwick/East Williamsburg, but a world away culturally) and the bodega closest to our house was run by a Coptic Christian family. I grew up very staunchly Christian, Baptist/Evangelical. Left the faith around age 17, and now (28 years later) I find mainline Christianity to be... triggering.
	10:49am captain beef fart: ↳ Song: "eye know" by "de la soul" guilty of paying >$30 for this reissue LP but it's so worth it
	10:49am dave: Soo good!
	10:49am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "eye know" by "de la soul" You know a record is good when it sounds as great or even better after the 100th listen as it did the first listen.
	10:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:48 Maspeth! I know it best from the water, honestly. I'm a Newtown Creek scuzz paddler.
	10:52am rx scabin: This is an expensive program to listen for a person who has a tendency and desire to acquire beautiful things.
	10:53am T GRavel: you're killing it, Trouble I m trying to leave but keep hanging around to hear what you're playing
	10:54am Handy Haversack: Just noticed this: www.theguardian.com... No one mentions the rising cost (and scarcity) of vinyl as a reason, though.
	10:54am t Gravel: …there’s an app for that
	10:55am Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:51 We were on Nurge Ave, a little street in a tiny neighborhood with itty-bitty two-story houses and narrow, narrow streets. Weird and kind of ugly little area, somehow industrial despite being mostly residential, concrete everywhere. We might not have left, except our apartment was tiny and the building was in horrible condition. Now we live in Kensington, with almost twice as much space and a much nicer walkable community.
	10:58am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "you never come closer" by "doris" It took me a long second to realize that there was some really out shit going on behind the singer on this cut. Wild!
	10:59am Zipperhead7: Vic Broughton eloquently describes the appeal of gospel music: “Gospel digs deeper than other music. Gospel is altogether more extreme in its depths and in its heights ... always at its best when at its most emotive and cathartic . . . For an outsider coming upon the dramatic fervor of gospel unprepared, the disturbance can be utterly overwhelming. Repellent even. ‘There's something about the gospel blues,’ said Sister Rosetta Tharpe to author Tony Heilbut, ‘that's so deep the world can't stand it.’”
	10:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:55 Ah, very nice. I have friends in Kensington. Sounds like a good move. We have a tiny place, but it's rent stabilized and has backyard access -- and is close to the creek! So we'll likely die here. Under a pile of books and records!
	10:59am JReganK: ↳ Song: "juma'a 6 hziran" by "Ferkat Al Ard" Near Eastern Bossa Nova? I like the production values.
	11:00am headcleaner: ↳ Song: "you never come closer" by "doris" This song has a certain aura - as if it would have come out much later - late 90s / early 00s
	11:01am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all. Need the boost of these amazing tunes this AM...
	11:01am Trouble: sister rosetta for the win @zipperhead!
	11:02am JetBoy of Astoria: Good day all
	11:02am JReganK: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:59 My wife's always tripping over my books! Fortunately, she hasn't hit me with one, yet. Lol!
	11:05am Yetz: ↳ Song: "the title" by "Makaya McCraven" Love Makaya's vibe. And the way he's so unconcerned with song titles!
	11:05am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:55 Kenzo is great place to live!
	11:10am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:59 On our stoop in Kenzo, we like to sit and watch the traffic on Ocean Parkway and drink blush. Just about hitting that season again.
	11:10am Phin The Hyooman: Morning, Trouble and everyone!
	11:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:10 Sounds pretty nice!
	11:13am Zipperhead7: Tony Heilbut's books "The Gospel Sound" and "The Fan Who Wasn't There" are brilliant, essential reading for anyone interested in musical exegesis
	11:14am oshiwoshi: ↳ Song: "#2" by "akiko yano" Little Feat? wow
	11:15am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "a donde" by "El Sueño de Alí" I really liked the t de Cobre track from this comp that efd played yesterday. It sounded like music made by a creature in a John Carpenter movie.
	11:16am Phin The Hyooman: ↳ eric from lake hiawatha @10:00 Hey, @Eric from lake hiawatha! I was at High Water Festival too this past weekend. Such a great time with the music and weather.
	11:20am Acid Cazh: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:10 We live on Ocean Pkwy too! You've probably seen my Outback with the flaming WFMU sticker on it. Look out for me, I drive like an asshole.
	11:21am dale: i picked up a cd of polnareff hits at the salvay for 99 cents and was over the moon.
	11:23am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @11:20 On Ocean Parkway? You'd blend right in!
	11:23am Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "simple things" by "Minnie Riperton" This is lovely
	11:26am Donna K: My cats are loving the sounds and music. They wanted me to say hi! From Asbury Park!
	11:26am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Acid Cazh @11:20 Always vigilant on these mean streets. I believe I have seen that sticker around...
	11:28am JReganK: ↳ Song: "rock the rhythm" by "janet kay" Unexpectedly, nice harmonies
	11:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:26 A close friend grew up on Ocean Pkwy. between N and O and lives at 18th Ave. now. Remind me to tell you his flat tire story one day. But the dog and I are going to head out for a walk now. Thanks, Trouble! Amazing show! Stay Troubled, all!
	11:29am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:29 Will do, have fun out there with the hound.
	11:30am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "sugartown" by "nancy sinatra" More Nancy is a-ok with me.
	11:30am kwhitehead: damn, this trumpet on the Nancy cut. Soaring!
	11:32am JReganK: ↳ Song: "mimiram" by "liraz" Roxy Music-esque

	11:41am Webhamster Henry: Are you getting all Random Road-y a little early on Thursday?
	11:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Trouble and trouble tribe.
	11:44am Trouble: obrigada@NGH
	11:46am gauche knee: Zinn, Powerlands Doc sounds like an uplifting connective piece against Big Tech & Media’s highly profitable fear-filled isolating world. I appreciate director is of Navajo community that was also exploited by the Company that’s displacing & destroying communities in the doc Vs. an outsider with “good intentions” who dips in to make a film and “be a voice for the voiceless “ or some other antiquated unchecked colonist type nonsense. Can’t wait to watch, Thanks for rec!
	11:48am gauche knee: Bluestockings Cooperative is a community supported bookstore & activist space + NY’s only queer, trans, & sex worker run bookstore, worth checking out! Great show as usual, Trouble! ✌🏾
	11:49am TDK60: ↳ gauche knee @11:48 gauche: Yeah, another great place. I haven't been down there in a while.
	11:53am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "abshaku ...the ecstatic truth ( for werner herzog... tre nice bhajan boy!

	11:56am northguineahills: merci, trouble!
	11:57am Ironside: Thank you for the wonderful show Trouble. Truly a journey!
	11:57am TDK60: Thanks, Trouble.
	11:58am love2laf: Thank you Trouble, your show sets things to rights in the soul and in the heart. The brain loses itself in the music, and stops the squirrely thoughts. Enjoy the day fellow Modern World folk.
	11:58am gauche knee: TDK, same. Secretly wish that No Rio will magically reappear when I finally go to the “new” location.
	11:58am Zinn The Mood: ↳ gauche knee @11:46 The young woman Navajo director was there and spoke afterward. She’s a lovely, radiant and cogent activist. Said she didn’t like the term decolonize and preferred instead something like re-indiginate or something. Powerful force she is. Really wonderful film. In which like you said the people of those various communities told their stories in their own words. Bluestockings, of course! Check out the PIT ( Property Is Theft), in Wmsbg. Comrade at Book Thug mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. Another really beautiful anarchist space. There’s some hope budding…
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Let us resist individually or in unison.
	11:58am T GRavel: dont want it to end thanks for great show Trouble
	11:59am Marie: love this tune (tuning in and out, I am)
	11:59am Trouble: thanks for listening in today,. I hope we have retweaked the earth's curve and started to set things on a proper course.
	12:00pm JReganK: Thanks, Trouble
	12:00pm JetBoy of Astoria: Great show today
	12:00pm Chris Hiatt: Thanks, Trouble. Loved the show today!

	12:00pm Magenta: 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.

	9:06am Strandlund: Good Morning Trouble!! I Love the Sister Corita Kent artwork...I love her art!!
	9:06am Pax: What a rush on WnB. Guess I'll cool down here. Hi Troubles.
	9:07am Yetz: ↳ Pax @9:06 W&B is a zoo, this is more of a calm serene garden.
	9:08am Webhamster Henry: Nice art today Trouble!
	9:09am pot8o: good morning everyone!
	9:09am The Butterman: Sister Corita Kent Art Dept. Rules #1 FIND A PLACE YOU TRUST THEN TRY TRUSTING IT FOR A WHILE
	9:09am Lucky: Such a great record...
	9:09am love2laf: Good morning Trouble, not only a beautiful art piece, but a wry bit of writing. I am not religious, but her choice of words on this is amazing. Good morning WFMU folk.
	9:11am Yetz: ↳ love2laf @9:09 I'm not a professing Christian but C.S.Lewis has always managed to say things that speak to me... OTOH he wrote those awful Narnia books so it's a wash I guess
	9:11am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble, the last of england or should I say UK. How appropriate. King Charles 111 coronation coming soon. A royal soap opera.
	9:12am Brian in UK: ↳ Yetz @9:11 Was Aslan, God?
	9:12am Waka: What was that song a moment ago that suddenly stopped? Or was that my connection?
	9:13am Brian in UK: To the garden & some bird song.
	9:13am Robm: ↳ Waka @9:12 Your connection, have not been interrupted
	9:13am Dan from Delco: Used to go to Luxembourg frequently. Cool little country. Never did any sketching though.
	9:14am Trouble: check out this fab version of sr corita's art rules: caitlinkeegan.com... by wfmu listener and supporter caitlin keegan
	9:14am Yetz: ↳ Brian in UK @9:12 It's too long since I read and mercifully forgot those books, but wasn't Aslan killed and then came back? That would make him Christ IMO.
	9:14am Pax: ↳ Yetz @9:07 How's about sharing a cool glass of htc ice tea with me. That is if I was going to actually indulge in that particular chemical instead of inhaling it.
	9:14am jbjb: Looked up the price of this album. It's around $8 - $20 in Europe, $70 in the US.
	9:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @9:11 Ha, and I'm all "Lewis would have been great if he weren't Christian, but at least we have Narnia."
	9:18am Joe Mulligan 🦀: Nice gentle sounds to start the day, Trouble
	9:18am love2laf: ↳ Yetz @9:11 We take the words we love, and hold them close. Different words speak to different people, and at different times. As a child, I adored the Narnia books. As an adult, it no longer worked for me.
	9:21am TDK60: Is this a mention books being read kind of day?
	9:22am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and Thursday people, a calm and elegant utopia is what I wish for today please :-)
	9:22am Joe Mulligan 🦀: As a kid I procrastinated reading Prince Caspian for the summer reading list. My siblings called me Prince Cats Behind
	9:22am Trouble: @tdk60: it's ALWAYS a mention books that you are reading kind of day on thursdays...
	9:24am Webhamster Henry: Narnia: My son is kind of hooked on Turkish Delight, I hope that's not a bad sign.
	9:24am Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @9:18 Well, they're kids' books, so that probably tracks.
	9:28am Ironside: Morning Trouble and fellow Trouble-makers. This music is gorgeous this morning. The calm vibe is resonating in the soul.
	9:29am abbazabba: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @9:22 HA! That's a good one
	9:29am PigeonsAndRust: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:24 Ray Noble's version youtu.be...
	9:30am TDK60: ↳ Trouble @9:22 Well then, I'm re-reading, after four decades, Ursula K. Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness.
	9:30am Nelo: Hello hello. Good Morning and happy afternoon y‘all.
	9:31am Hughie Considine: Now that's a segue.
	9:31am love2laf: ↳ Song: "many singing softly" by "rocco deluca" There are always songs on this show that completely enthrall Erin the kitty, and this one has her ears swiveling and her head turning, following all the sounds of the pedal steel. She's following along to the next tune as well.
	9:31am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:30 Such a good book!
	9:32am Lerch: This set is really taking me places.
	9:32am Zinn The Mood: Nice grey day to you all, Trouble and Troublemakers. Great vibe in the selections, as always. Went to a dream place last night in this decaying city of ours dominated by corporate franchises and financial parasites. A place for the People. Indeed, simply called peoplesforum.org Explicitly socialist, as displayed on the awning. A hub for education, films, reading groups, author presentations, poetry, music, activist engagement. There’s a cafe/bar, an impressive library (soon to be lending), bookstore and the Eslanda and Paul Robeson theater that shows films. Last night they showed a film called “Powerlands” (ccrjustice.org...). Was a loving, uplifting and in-depth look at how Indigeneous People, from the Navajos to tribes in the Philippines, Mexico and Brazil are fighting back against the local corporate onslaught of mining in their communities - and winning. Stories told through the eyes of the women who often lead the resistance. Highly recommended. Personally, I’ve needed some real, connective uplift. The fact that a film sought these people struggling and gave their causes a platform, and that through it a new, invigorated sense of community developed, is pretty much what it’s all about. Especially in such an alienating society dominated by social media, having to have convenience at any cost, consumerism and the capitalist treadmill.
	9:32am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "some velvet morning" by "nancy sinatra/ lee hazel... Obligatory WFMU link: www.wfmu.org...
	9:32am Ironside: ↳ Trouble @9:22 My current reading obsession is Labyrinths from Jorge Borges. The short stories are amazing. The endless library haunts my brain.
	9:32am Micheal: Always wondered what Frank thought of this one.
	9:33am rx scabin: Reading the Cosey Fanni Tutti autobiography. Very interesting. P-Orridge does not come off well.
	9:33am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:31 Good mornin' Handy! Yes, Le Guin's writing is still vibrant to me, and the concepts still controversial. Ahem!
	9:34am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Micheal @9:32 Frank was marired to Mia Farrow at the time.
	9:34am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ironside @9:32 Such a good book!
	9:35am tim from washington: Hello Trouble and everyone!
	9:35am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:32 Thanks for this, Zinn!
	9:35am Alan the painter: Ah, good mooring/morning, coaxing me , soothing my ears, thinking of hot water while absorbing sun’s rays crowsnest South stern staring at a Zagar mural reflecting…
	9:36am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "some velvet morning" by "nancy sinatra/ lee hazel... Frank Sinatra's greatest contribution to music was Nancy.
	9:36am John L: ↳ Song: "tonala, autumn leaf, sketches of luxenbourg, the ... Alexander Tucker recently released a new album and book honoring Derek Jarman and Keith Collins. I think it's worth the price; here is the Bandcamp link:alexandertucker.bandcamp.com...
	9:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:32 And thanks for THAT, WHH!
	9:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @9:36 With you on this.
	9:39am Handy Haversack: I find myself strangely grateful and agreeable this morning! Must be the good sounds. And that Goblin has been asleep on my lap for almost an hour.
	9:40am rx scabin: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:37 I don't know. Wee Small Hours is something good.
	9:40am tim from washington: ↳ rx scabin @9:33 I'm a big fan of Cosey's autobiography! I've also been raving about her recent book Re-Sisters. Yeah, it seems that Genesis shares the unfortunate trait some artists have of creating really good music/art but they are also terrible people. I believe Cosey. She was there.
	9:40am Joe Mulligan 🦀: What did they have to say about genesis RX?
	9:40am T GRavel: ↳ Song: "persistence of memory, the bridge, hymn for thatc... coooooool
	9:40am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:37 I've never seen The Last of England, yet. I just ordered it from the NYC public library!
	9:41am Trouble: if you are interested the book about derek jarden's garden is also stellar...
	9:41am rx scabin: ↳ Joe Mulligan 🦀 @9:40 Sort of self-centered opportunistic jerk. Also, selfish at an industrial level.
	9:43am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:32 Zinn, though I've never been there, I am aware that last summer the People's Forum was harassed by rightists and cops, who stormed the facility.
	9:44am Nelo: Endless and fantastic bookshelves reminds me of The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. Highly recommended
	9:48am bobobob fabtriplasticland: Lou Reed
	9:48am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @9:40 These two tunes have piqued my interest in a big way. Think I just found the film on YouTube…looks like something to make the time to see. Thanks, Trouble!
	9:49am Nelo: @ironside I just looked Borges up. That does look super interesting!
	9:50am T GRavel: Eid Mubarak
	9:50am SHAGALOV: Good morning my favorite @Trouble ❤️
	9:51am Katy_bar_the_door: This set feels like a setup for Primal Scream's Evil Heat.
	9:52am Joe Mulligan 🦀: That seems to track rx. I saw him in a small room panel discussion, CMJ festival NYC 1989.. he had to interrupt asking who has done acid. The panel was with KRS -one and about hip hop and genesis’ comment was irrelevant/selfish attention seeking
	9:53am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:48 Zinn, you might also be interested in the Interference Archive, an archive of social movement pieces - posters, leaflets, zines, newspapers, buttons, etc. They usually have an exhibit up on the walls. A little library too. In Park Slope, Brooklyn. Run solely by volunteers.
	9:57am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:37 The 365 Days projects are the gifts that keep on giving!
	9:57am Trouble: interference archive is s super great place!!!
	9:58am Handy Haversack: Goodness, this set.
	9:59am Ironside: ↳ Nelo @9:49 The Starless Sea sounds fantastic Nelo. I'll check it out, thank you! And I can't recommend Labyrinths enough. There's a story called The Circular Ruins where the protagonist dreams a man piece by piece. It's hypnotic. The stories in the collection are super short, but after each story I've felt the need to stop and ponder for a day. So unique.
	10:00am eric from lake hiawatha: I saw Angel Olsen Sunday in North Charleston at the Highwater festival, what a voice what a band she had so much fun, the band had fun. Absolutely go see them
	10:00am JReganK: ↳ Yetz @9:11 Liked "The Screwtape Letters"
	10:00am pot8o: ↳ Trouble @9:57 it's a massive shame i'm so far away from all of these interesting places
	10:02am HyperDose: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:58 That's what I'm saying
	10:04am Handy Haversack: Yeah, when you find a $20 record these days it's like finding a $10 cocktail in NYC -- almost impossible to believe!
	10:04am ifeelfatnsassy: Ugh, it's so true. I've started buying cassettes again if I feel that I need a physical copy, but more and more I'm just buying digital.
	10:04am Tim in NC: she really is spellbinding live. my one time seeing her was Halloween 2019 in Philly, just after All Mirrors, unforgettable times
	10:05am Reno D: I have no desire to own anything made of vinyl. Can’t they make LPs out of bamboo?
	10:05am Nelo: Borges short stories do sound very interesting. Maybe Piranesi by Susan Clarke could also be a win for you too, Ironside. Check them both out :) Starless Sea is a win for people who like Choose your own Adventures stories and scavenger hunts ⭐️
	10:05am ifeelfatnsassy: To be clear... I prefer vinyl, I still buy vinyl, but I hate spending what vinyl commands now.
	10:06am T GRavel: sorry, say the author's name again? who did you hear speak?
	10:07am Handy Haversack: ↳ Nelo @10:05 Yeah, Piranesi was a good read. I enjoyed it more than her first novel, honestly.
	10:07am Handy Haversack: ↳ T GRavel @10:06 Colm Toibin
	10:07am T GRavel: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:07 oh wow. Cool
	10:08am Trouble: his new book is 'a guest at the feast'
	10:11am JReganK: ↳ ifeelfatnsassy @10:04 I avoid cassettes. All too often they degrade or fall apart. If I had the room for vinyl, I'd buy more. Digital wins hands down
	10:12am oshiwoshi: ↳ Song: "#2" by "akiko yano" what sorcery is this?
	10:13am Acid Cazh: Slacking off work for 2 minutes to pop in and say analog media is my absolute favorite — vinyl, cassette, 8-track, what have you. OK Back to work.
	10:13am Webhamster Henry: ↳ JReganK @10:11 I used to copy LPs to cassette so they wouldn't get scratched. most of those 30-40 year old K7s are just fine! And certainly better than commercially produced cassettes.
	10:14am pot8o: ↳ ifeelfatnsassy @10:05 i only buy vinyl if it's used or if it's an artist i really like, anything else i get digitally
	10:15am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @9:53 Love that place, TDK and Trouble! Wonderful example of people-power preserving our own history and providing a repository for understanding where we come from, revering those who came before us in the struggle for a better world. I remember just after Occupy going down to Gowanus to pick up some May Day posters, pamphlets and flyers. Was so encouraging and inspiring to encounter graphic artists and archivists disseminating the crucial art necessary to going forward while preserving for the future what we were doing. The film last night begins with a middle-aged Navajo woman speaking as the camera sweeps the breathtaking panorama of the Southwest, about how she can trace her descendants back, in light of the grotesque specter of the international mining company upending their lives by savaging their land and poisoning their water, 85 generations! Just one of those goosebumps moments, of which there were a few. These places we’re talking about are so critical in the development of deeper and more personal bonds. When one doesn’t care to learn the real history of society then really, there’s not a lot of hope for a planet in serious climate change peril. Which is due directly to rapacious profiteering in the capitalist economy that most of the world has been held prisoner under. We have no chance of turning back this massive tide if we don’t first acknowledge that we all come from the same place, and tell the stories that unify instead of separate us.
	10:16am JReganK: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:13 So true about commercial cassettes
	10:17am Bernardo: Is this a cover? This is a cover
	10:18am Trouble: @bernanrdo album says written by jeff parker
	10:19am eric from lake hiawatha: @Tim in NC spot on
	10:20am TDK60: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:13 W.Henry: Hear hear!
	10:22am Listener Bryan (the Professor): Logging in just to say how much I love that Jeff Parker record. Happy to hear it on the air!
	10:22am Listener John from NJ: ↳ TDK60 @9:33 You and H. Haversack mentioned U. K. LeGuin . . . I just receved an email reporting that Library of America will be publishing her Collected Poems, at $31.50 (a lot of loot for me). They mention she wrote a lot of poems about cats, and that there's a video of her reading her poetry at www.youtube.com... .
	10:22am Chris Hiatt: And a good late morning to you all. It's a beaut out there.
	10:23am TDK60: ↳ Listener John from NJ @10:22 Listener John: Thanks. Never read her poetery.
	10:23am JReganK: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:13 Concerning 8-Tracks: Are the fade outs between tracks burned into your brain, too? Lol!
	10:24am Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris Hiatt @10:22 Yeah, I have a meeting at 11, and then the dog and I are going to get outside for a bit.
	10:25am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	10:25am Webhamster Henry: Hammered Dulcimer Alert!
	10:26am JReganK: ↳ TDK60 @10:20 May I assume You have a lot of TDK60's in your music collection? Lol!
	10:26am rx scabin: ↳ pot8o @10:00 I feel your pain from the Middle of Nowhere.
	10:27am Stephanie: Can't be so troubled when Trouble is on the radio. Glad to be here, hello everyone!
	10:27am Chicken’s Mom: Holy cow this track is 🔥
	10:29am love2laf: We have reached the halfway mark, and I'm officially clicky starring the whole darn show. Trouble you are doing an amazing show this week. Again! And for those cat folk, Erin the kitty is back to tracking the sounds on this Rufus Harley track.
	10:30am JReganK: ↳ Song: "malika" by "rufus harley" Rufus could charm the sound out of bagpipes
	10:30am Pete from Hoboken: ↳ Trouble @10:08 Someone asked an interesting question yesterday during the Kolm Toibin reading about how he goes about writing conversations with accents (he is Irish and the question was about brogue). His answer was that he doesn’t get hung up on it (spelling out how words are pronounced) and that it often becomes a distraction for the writer and the reader. In his head Irish brogue and “American” English are interwoven- or something like that…
	10:31am Bernardo: ↳ Trouble @10:18 Ah yes Jeff Parker! Haha It was driving me crazy! sorry the playlist still said akiko yano…I guess it hadn’t caught up lol
	10:32am Nelo: Listener John: oh thank you for the info! I can imagine Le Guin writing poems about cats. Sounds great 😊 Good thing we have libraries. This will be fun to check out!
	10:32am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "malika" by "rufus harley" This groove is sponsored by the all powerful high hat cymbals.
	10:34am J in KC: enjoying the show. just swapped out speakers to some old Fisher Console speakers as I was listening.
	10:34am TDK60: ↳ JReganK @10:26 JReganK: Some 60s yes, but actually more 90-minute ones. Maxells too. I can't recall why I chose this WFMU name, and thought about getting another but so far am stuck, on pause you might say.
	10:35am Dave E: I recently saw Rufus Hartley on an old 1960s episode of “To Tell The Truth”. Find it on YouTube. Jazz with bagpipes. Innovative
	10:35am rx scabin: This is an expensive program to listen to for a person who has a tendency and desire to acquire beautiful things.
	10:36am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "the baptist assembly of free spirit churches mass... As a stone heathen I sure like rowdy gospel music.
	10:37am JReganK: ↳ TDK60 @10:34 I've got boxes of Maxells and TDK'S, too. I like your name. It always brings me back to all those cassette recordings of WFMU I made of the terrestrial signal in the 90's!
	10:38am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "the baptist assembly of free spirit churches mass... Praise be!
	10:39am Zipperhead7: Take me to church! Listeners might be interested in a reading by John Curl, a long-time member of Drop City and key figure in Indigenous People's Day, this Saturday afternoon in Washington Heights. Zip'll be there! www.wordupbooks.com...
	10:40am ?: Well good morning!!! Lifting up set, thank you!!!
	10:40am Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "the baptist assembly of free spirit churches mass... I gotta hit mute on this, as someone traumatized by Christianity. It's a little bit too much for me. Will turn the volume back up when I see the track change.
	10:41am TDK60: ↳ JReganK @10:37 JReganK: Oh yes, the need to tape WFMU back then. I still have one such tape a pal made when I lived out of the area. Except they just put in the music, cut out the DJ. / I might change my moniker but would have to put in parentheses ("formerly ___") for a year or so, like I've seen others do.
	10:42am headcleaner: ↳ Song: "the baptist assembly of free spirit churches mass... Good morning, all. Am awake now, thank you very much
	10:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:40 Definitely safe now!
	10:43am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @10:41 But hey, plenty of Brooklyn folksingers have two or three aliases they change every season. So..
	10:44am Trouble: @ handy: jersey city has a large coptic christian egyptian population...
	10:45am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @10:43 I should take up folk. Ramble into Brooklyn all dusty and thirsty..
	10:46am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "eye know" by "de la soul" Yes!
	10:46am Lucky: Yesssss! Love this song.
	10:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @10:44 And they very well might boogie! But gambling that Acid Cazh, like me, doesn't speak the language!
	10:46am T GRavel: ↳ Song: "eye know" by "de la soul" so happy about this re issue
	10:46am Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "eye know" by "de la soul" Daisy Age! I gotta say "Buhloone Mindstate" is a much better album than 3 Feet High+Rising, but this is good stuff too.
	10:48am tim from washington: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:46 Buloone Mindstate is my favorite. I can't wait for that re-issue to get airplay.
	10:48am Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:46 Coptics are a good bit different from other Christians. My wife and I lived in Maspeth through the pandemic (not far from Ridgewood/Bushwick/East Williamsburg, but a world away culturally) and the bodega closest to our house was run by a Coptic Christian family. I grew up very staunchly Christian, Baptist/Evangelical. Left the faith around age 17, and now (28 years later) I find mainline Christianity to be... triggering.
	10:49am captain beef fart: ↳ Song: "eye know" by "de la soul" guilty of paying >$30 for this reissue LP but it's so worth it
	10:49am dave: Soo good!
	10:49am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "eye know" by "de la soul" You know a record is good when it sounds as great or even better after the 100th listen as it did the first listen.
	10:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:48 Maspeth! I know it best from the water, honestly. I'm a Newtown Creek scuzz paddler.
	10:52am rx scabin: This is an expensive program to listen for a person who has a tendency and desire to acquire beautiful things.
	10:53am T GRavel: you're killing it, Trouble I m trying to leave but keep hanging around to hear what you're playing
	10:54am Handy Haversack: Just noticed this: www.theguardian.com... No one mentions the rising cost (and scarcity) of vinyl as a reason, though.
	10:54am t Gravel: …there’s an app for that
	10:55am Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:51 We were on Nurge Ave, a little street in a tiny neighborhood with itty-bitty two-story houses and narrow, narrow streets. Weird and kind of ugly little area, somehow industrial despite being mostly residential, concrete everywhere. We might not have left, except our apartment was tiny and the building was in horrible condition. Now we live in Kensington, with almost twice as much space and a much nicer walkable community.
	10:58am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "you never come closer" by "doris" It took me a long second to realize that there was some really out shit going on behind the singer on this cut. Wild!
	10:59am Zipperhead7: Vic Broughton eloquently describes the appeal of gospel music: “Gospel digs deeper than other music. Gospel is altogether more extreme in its depths and in its heights ... always at its best when at its most emotive and cathartic . . . For an outsider coming upon the dramatic fervor of gospel unprepared, the disturbance can be utterly overwhelming. Repellent even. ‘There's something about the gospel blues,’ said Sister Rosetta Tharpe to author Tony Heilbut, ‘that's so deep the world can't stand it.’”
	10:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:55 Ah, very nice. I have friends in Kensington. Sounds like a good move. We have a tiny place, but it's rent stabilized and has backyard access -- and is close to the creek! So we'll likely die here. Under a pile of books and records!
	10:59am JReganK: ↳ Song: "juma'a 6 hziran" by "Ferkat Al Ard" Near Eastern Bossa Nova? I like the production values.
	11:00am headcleaner: ↳ Song: "you never come closer" by "doris" This song has a certain aura - as if it would have come out much later - late 90s / early 00s
	11:01am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all. Need the boost of these amazing tunes this AM...
	11:01am Trouble: sister rosetta for the win @zipperhead!
	11:02am JetBoy of Astoria: Good day all
	11:02am JReganK: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:59 My wife's always tripping over my books! Fortunately, she hasn't hit me with one, yet. Lol!
	11:05am Yetz: ↳ Song: "the title" by "Makaya McCraven" Love Makaya's vibe. And the way he's so unconcerned with song titles!
	11:05am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:55 Kenzo is great place to live!
	11:10am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:59 On our stoop in Kenzo, we like to sit and watch the traffic on Ocean Parkway and drink blush. Just about hitting that season again.
	11:10am Phin The Hyooman: Morning, Trouble and everyone!
	11:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:10 Sounds pretty nice!
	11:13am Zipperhead7: Tony Heilbut's books "The Gospel Sound" and "The Fan Who Wasn't There" are brilliant, essential reading for anyone interested in musical exegesis
	11:14am oshiwoshi: ↳ Song: "#2" by "akiko yano" Little Feat? wow
	11:15am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "a donde" by "El Sueño de Alí" I really liked the t de Cobre track from this comp that efd played yesterday. It sounded like music made by a creature in a John Carpenter movie.
	11:16am Phin The Hyooman: ↳ eric from lake hiawatha @10:00 Hey, @Eric from lake hiawatha! I was at High Water Festival too this past weekend. Such a great time with the music and weather.
	11:20am Acid Cazh: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:10 We live on Ocean Pkwy too! You've probably seen my Outback with the flaming WFMU sticker on it. Look out for me, I drive like an asshole.
	11:21am dale: i picked up a cd of polnareff hits at the salvay for 99 cents and was over the moon.
	11:23am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @11:20 On Ocean Parkway? You'd blend right in!
	11:23am Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "simple things" by "Minnie Riperton" This is lovely
	11:26am Donna K: My cats are loving the sounds and music. They wanted me to say hi! From Asbury Park!
	11:26am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Acid Cazh @11:20 Always vigilant on these mean streets. I believe I have seen that sticker around...
	11:28am JReganK: ↳ Song: "rock the rhythm" by "janet kay" Unexpectedly, nice harmonies
	11:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ Chris Hiatt @11:26 A close friend grew up on Ocean Pkwy. between N and O and lives at 18th Ave. now. Remind me to tell you his flat tire story one day. But the dog and I are going to head out for a walk now. Thanks, Trouble! Amazing show! Stay Troubled, all!
	11:29am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:29 Will do, have fun out there with the hound.
	11:30am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "sugartown" by "nancy sinatra" More Nancy is a-ok with me.
	11:30am kwhitehead: damn, this trumpet on the Nancy cut. Soaring!
	11:32am JReganK: ↳ Song: "mimiram" by "liraz" Roxy Music-esque
	11:33am tim from washington: ↳ JReganK @11:32 I was just thinking Bryan Ferry too!
	11:34am kevlicki: Morning trouble and all!
	11:36am somalis: what a sweet song, thank you trouble :) it brings me back in the best possible way
	11:37am Trouble: can you help me out @ somalis? how do i prounce it all?
	11:41am northguineahills: it's sao tome!
	11:41am Webhamster Henry: Are you getting all Random Road-y a little early on Thursday?
	11:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Trouble and trouble tribe.
	11:44am Trouble: obrigada@NGH
	11:46am gauche knee: Zinn, Powerlands Doc sounds like an uplifting connective piece against Big Tech & Media’s highly profitable fear-filled isolating world. I appreciate director is of Navajo community that was also exploited by the Company that’s displacing & destroying communities in the doc Vs. an outsider with “good intentions” who dips in to make a film and “be a voice for the voiceless “ or some other antiquated unchecked colonist type nonsense. Can’t wait to watch, Thanks for rec!
	11:48am gauche knee: Bluestockings Cooperative is a community supported bookstore & activist space + NY’s only queer, trans, & sex worker run bookstore, worth checking out! Great show as usual, Trouble! ✌🏾
	11:49am TDK60: ↳ gauche knee @11:48 gauche: Yeah, another great place. I haven't been down there in a while.
	11:53am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "abshaku ...the ecstatic truth ( for werner herzog... tre nice bhajan boy!
	11:56am tim from washington: thanks, Trouble!
	11:56am northguineahills: merci, trouble!
	11:57am Ironside: Thank you for the wonderful show Trouble. Truly a journey!
	11:57am TDK60: Thanks, Trouble.
	11:58am love2laf: Thank you Trouble, your show sets things to rights in the soul and in the heart. The brain loses itself in the music, and stops the squirrely thoughts. Enjoy the day fellow Modern World folk.
	11:58am gauche knee: TDK, same. Secretly wish that No Rio will magically reappear when I finally go to the “new” location.
	11:58am Zinn The Mood: ↳ gauche knee @11:46 The young woman Navajo director was there and spoke afterward. She’s a lovely, radiant and cogent activist. Said she didn’t like the term decolonize and preferred instead something like re-indiginate or something. Powerful force she is. Really wonderful film. In which like you said the people of those various communities told their stories in their own words. Bluestockings, of course! Check out the PIT ( Property Is Theft), in Wmsbg. Comrade at Book Thug mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. Another really beautiful anarchist space. There’s some hope budding…
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Let us resist individually or in unison.
	11:58am T GRavel: dont want it to end thanks for great show Trouble
	11:59am Marie: love this tune (tuning in and out, I am)
	11:59am Trouble: thanks for listening in today,. I hope we have retweaked the earth's curve and started to set things on a proper course.
	12:00pm JReganK: Thanks, Trouble
	12:00pm JetBoy of Astoria: Great show today
	12:00pm Chris Hiatt: Thanks, Trouble. Loved the show today!
	12:00pm Jason from Houston: Many thanks, Trouble.
	12:00pm Magenta: Thanks, Trouble!
	1:50pm Reno D: This is why I steer clear of allergy pharmaceuticals. Pseu! Darling…(?)
