	9:12am Juli: Excited for this show!
	9:14am Zinn The Mood: Hello dear comrades, Trouble, Josh and all Troublemakers! Excellent intro of the ocean ebb and flow. Been reading Walt Whitman bio and put me in frame of mind to recall his beloved Paumonok. Looking forward to this history conversation!
	9:15am gauche knee: Good Morning Trouble, Josh, & greetings to Modernists & Troublemakers the world over.
	9:17am Sandro: I very much appreciate this Portuguese hour my people. Please do not forget to play some Zeca Afonso. He is the hero, the spark that started it all. The song Grandola Vila Morena( town in souther Portugal ) was the call for revolution to start. Thank you, thank you thank you
	9:19am Juli: Portugal is very cheap to travel to rn
	9:19am Sandro: That’s it brother, you did your research! Thank you for bringing me back home
	9:20am Zinn The Mood: Don’t hear enough about Portugal at all, though of course historically were a major imperialist colonizer. Only thing in forefront of my mind, however, is how progressive they’ve become as a country in terms of legalizing drugs and humanely dealing with drug addiction through carefully managed sites allowing access to users without punitive measures.
	9:23am Sandro: You’re making me cry. I’m at work and I’m sobbing. This is Portuguese soul in a song
	9:24am kayt: Grandola, a musica mais bonita. 🌹 Obrigada Trouble e Josh!
	9:25am chris in the redwoods: I may not get credit, but I’m happy to be in this class. hi, Trouble and everyone!
	9:25am kayt: por acaso vou a Lisboa está noite!
	9:26am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and pássaros canoros. I hope DJ Rob W. is listening.
	9:30am Juli: I'm so sensitive I cannot even watch a Bumble bee in pain::{
	9:31am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:20 Indeed, Portugal, Belgium, and the Netherlands as major colonizers is hard to wrap your head around. Denmark also got a few Caribbean Islands and Greenland!
	9:33am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Sandro @9:17 Even to contemplate such a notion - that music, or even more potently a specific song - could start a Revolution is so deeply moving and confounding, at the same time, to me. Man, there was such hope in the counterculture, particularly all the stirring music then, that a Revolution could be started and succeed. Maybe therein is the difference between the cultures. The penchant here for materialism, convenience and self-aggrandizement, which lead to alienation instead of solidarity, in America ultimately make us soft and increasingly passive to the overwhelming precarity in every direction. We’re too busy ordering little treats from Amazon to keep ourselves anesthetized from the hollow jobs and lifestyles we feel forced into.
	9:35am Ed From Jersey City: Good afternoon from the Tank Museum in Bovington, UK.
	9:37am Juli: I love History:::} Ty for this:::
	9:38am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:33 That song was literally the call to arms. When it started playing on the radio that was the call to start the fight( hopefully only one person was shot during this revolution). It was a beautiful thing my friend… I’m alive because of it
	9:40am Crownless Gander: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:33 Might be hard for a song to achieve in America today, but I'm very encouraged by the masses flocking to be awakened by the Barbie movie, a fairly nuanced and even radical feminist fable!
	9:41am Gauche Knee: ↳ Sandro @9:38 Thank you, Sandro for sharing your insight & part of your story.
	9:41am Emily P.: This is really great - thank you for such a beautiful and informative show! Portugal is a gorgeous country.
	9:43am TDK60: Where/when is that Close Rikers Island prison rally?
	9:43am Juli: I know TWO ppl in Portugal rn!
	9:43am Juli: Traveling that is:::}
	9:44am Trouble: rikers rally starts at 12:30 . originating at city hall and march to foley square at 1:00
	9:45am Trouble: interferencearchive.org justseeds.org
	9:48am Zinn The Mood: Wow, Josh! After the takedown of the fascists in Portuguese the revolutionaries put those malevolent actors in the surveillance police state on a people’s tribunal trial and summarily executed the worst offenders. Just as Che did after they liberated Havana. So powerful: can’t imagine the feeling amongst the populace, having been traumatized by fear, anxiety and brutality of the secret police (read: undercover cops, FBI, CIA, DHS, etc), to have the retribution of seeing their victimizers suffer such a fate. Almost happened, more recently, in Egypt with the Arab Spring about to pay back the notoriously vicious secret police there… until America stepped in (surprise, surprise!) to thwart any revolutionary potential.
	9:50am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:33 It’s hard in here because we are all struggling yes, but it’s not a collective struggle, it’s personal and yes, exacerbated by the simplicity of “let’s just throw money at it” which is the food of selfishness. Could be the solution for all our problems but because we see it selfishly it’s the cause of almost all our problems. Less money less greed less individualism more collective. Very simple but oh pretty much impossible to solve
	9:53am Juli: ↳ Sandro @9:50 For some reason extreme wealth is seen as cool or success
	9:55am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:48 The state police was called PIDE, they were in every facet of society, they would arrest you if you even criticized the government, they were brutal, yes, but the executions you are talking about I did not hear of them. Most of them fled to the African colonies and to Brazil. Now the things that didn’t get publicized may have been brutal… idk
	9:56am HyperDose: Rockin out with Trouble in the AM oh yeah baby! 😎🤙🏾
	9:57am Sandro: ↳ Juli @9:53 It’s cause life is always a struggle and we “see” that more money equals less struggle. It’s an illusion, struggle is struggle.
	9:58am Juli: ↳ Sandro @9:57 There is struggle then there are ppl w golden toilets...so greed is derived from the power they feel:::{
	10:00am Chief Guy: @juli: many people have golden showers too!
	10:01am Juli: ↳ Chief Guy @10:00 Lmao.
	10:03am Zinn The Mood: Thanks for mentioning the “Close Rikers” protest. Wish I could make this one, with the kids (just the type of thing to instill in young ones, Another World Is Possible). Our protest group organized a rally in front of Rikers about 10 years ago. Since then there’s definitely been progress, although the foul bureaucracy involved in doing anything good tends to drag its feet as long as it can. (Maybe they’d move quicker if the threat of a citizen’s tribunal, with real power, was upon them. They continue to be rewarded by “donors” for their inaction). Presently at the Schomburg library and museum in Harlem is one of the most moving exhibits I’ve ever seen in my life. Its focus is on incarceration, and the manifestation of ways one deals with it, individually and collectively, and how brutal and punitive these systems have been allowed to become (“Law and Order,” etc). This is one piece: www.moma.org...
	10:03am Chief Guy: ;)
	10:04am Sandro: ↳ Juli @9:58 Ah! Exactly! A person backed up taking a shit in the woods is definitely suffering less than a backed up person shitting on gold! Lol. Perception
	10:05am Col. Forbin: this is so great. thank you Josh and Trouble
	10:09am Zinn The Mood: Trouble, this is the name of the exhibit I was trying to remember. You must get there. “Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration” www.moma.org... “This major exhibition explores the work of artists within US prisons and the centrality of incarceration to contemporary art and culture. Featuring art made by people in prisons and work by nonincarcerated artists concerned with state repression, erasure, and imprisonment, Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration highlights more than 35 artists, including American Artist, Tameca Cole, Russell Craig, James “Yaya” Hough, Jesse Krimes, Mark Loughney, Gilberto Rivera, and Sable Elyse Smith. The exhibition has been updated to reflect the growing COVID-19 crisis in US prisons, featuring new works by exhibition artists made in response to this ongoing emergency. On view across PS1’s first floor galleries, Marking Time features works that bear witness to artists’ reimagining of the fundamentals of living—time, space, and physical matter—pushing the possibilities of these basic features of daily experience to create new aesthetic visions achieved through material and formal invention. The resulting work is often laborious, time-consuming, and immersive, as incarcerated artists manage penal time through their work and experiment with the material constraints that shape art making in prison. The exhibition also includes work made by nonincarcerated artists—both artists who were formerly incarcerated and those personally impacted by the US prison system. From various sites of freedom or unfreedom, these artists devise strategies for visualizing, mapping, and making physically present the impact and scale of life under carceral conditions. Alongside the exhibition, a series of public programs, education initiatives, and ongoing projects will explore the social and cultural impact of mass incarceration.”
	10:11am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Sandro @9:38 Stunning and inspiring, Sandro. Is there a good piece to read about this that you’d recommend? Thanks.
	10:17am chresti: Morning Trouble and trouble seekers!
	10:21am Jason from Houston: Good greetings, good people.
	10:25am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:11 Tbh I never really read much about it, the stories are told by the victors but they only have a story to tell because of the losers and there’s always truth in both sides. I speak mainly of what I experienced, my next door neighbor was a PIDE agent, we were terrified of even saying anything bad about the state because you never knew who was listening. So keep quiet and hidden was the best option, that’s how they kept the revolution at bay for so long, by fear. You couldn’t leave the country, taxed to the eyeballs, if you had 100 potatoes, the state would take 70 or 80. It was sad understanding him much the greed of a few made the most of us suffer. Perhaps the best way to understand the struggles is to see what happened after, the Portuguese diaspora where soooo many people emigrated in search of a better life. First to Venezuela and France then the US. I can’t tell you a definite read , they all wrote in the way they saw more convenient. Read everything and anything you can get your eyes on…. Sorry buddy , I wish I could help more.
	10:25am chris in the redwoods: heyas, chresti and Jason!
	10:26am chresti: hey chris!
	10:27am Jason from Houston: Hey there, chresti and chris!
	10:27am chresti: Hi good Jason!
	10:28am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:40 Huh? I don’t follow anything like that, and haven’t looked at any news or social media really at all in over a month. Except almost exclusively to watch Cornel West interview appearances, and some football stuff, which both help with keeping sane.
	10:36am Juli: Sad history.
	10:36am CleffyCleff: Beautiful stuff, Trouble and Josh. This is radio at its best.
	10:36am Buddy Ripp: Wow. Fantastique music. And my girlfriend got me the Political Record Labels book for xmas.
	10:37am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:11 Oh, read the lyrics of the songs, most are in “code” form , they will tell you everything about it. Trust me. Zeca Afonso is the most famous singer and face of the revolution but there are many many others that came before him that paved the way. Also, read about the decolonization (that never really happened) that happened after, these things will give you a broader picture of what the Portuguese people went trough
	10:40am pot8o: good morning everyone!
	10:40am paddy in matawan: all amazing music!
	10:45am Sandro: We the people, that was the motto for all these searches for freedom. It still is that way today. The search and never ending battle for democracy. Honest Communication, understanding and Compromise is the answer.
	10:45am Chucktown Dan: Radio is as important as ever. Computers/internet are easily shut. down and controlled. The airwave transmissions are small and transportable. Damn hard to regulate.
	10:46am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Sandro @9:55 Any interest in compiling an oral history of those days, or even contacting a good an investigate journalist whose work you trust, to help get that story together for posterity? Seems the worst fascists have little trouble securing their own security and anonymity in South American haunts.
	10:52am Tony From Chicago: Some back ground on Angola and US involvement-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stockwell_(CIA_officer)
	10:59am chresti: ln the early 80s I became aware of Angola from reggae music
	11:05am chresti: Also later, The African Beat on KCRW, from the early to mid 80s
	11:06am Greg g: Thank you for the wonderful music and illuminating discussion Trouble and Josh.
	11:06am Arlene: Loving this music, and this show!
	11:08am kevlicki: Sounds like scouring yard sales and flea markets in the New Bedford area (or whaling/port towns along the northeast) has the potential to be fruitful for Cape Verde/Guinea Bissau music.
	11:10am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:46 My story would be too short and absolutely incomplete and bias. It does however live on, trough these comments, trough the conversations I have with people…. I have no more ambitions to my share of the history and how I am telling it, as it will never show facts, it will only show my feelings. I do very much appreciate the interest tho! As to South American dictators I believe it’s a lot easier to old on to power when your people are “less” concerned about personal wealth, simply because there is less of it, so you connect more to the land or just living and therefore disconnect more from wealth and the ways to go about getting it. Because they connect more to the land , they become more honest/ gullible and therefore more trusting in words…. Idk , just my two cents
	11:12am Zinn The Mood: The relentless subjugation and rape of Africa continues apace…witness the rare mineral mining in the Congo, right at this moment. A few people get rich off the blood, sweat and tears of thousands and thousands. In light of that I’d like to believe in Dante’s circles of hell as the fate of those who jettison their consciences for illicit riches. Great show, giving these courageous and visionary revolutionary comrades a good hearing! Josh is a fountain of erudition and hope. And like his example, folks, we must begin to find the fearlessness to show up more in public to air our grievances. Social media posting is not going to cut it. All these folks we’re listening to put themselves at great risk for what was/is right.
	11:12am Tony From Chicago: Great music today. Thanks DJ Trouble and Josh MacPhee!!!
	11:12am Trouble: @kevlicki: shhhhhhhhh! stop letting the secrets out
	11:16am kevlicki: Trouble-whoops! Just deducing from industries and migration patterns. Never thought of how ethnographic studies could lead to crate digging behaviors 😝
	11:17am WendyVerona: Great show!
	11:19am Charles in Chicago: This is red-hot!
	11:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Bird news: Identified a yellow warbler while on vacation canoeing. Also saw three meadowlarks in a national park. On another day, spotted a bald eagle in flight.
	11:25am kevlicki: Trouble, will you be attending the BB show tomorrow?
	11:27am Trouble: @kevlicki sorry, no i wont be here...enjoy, if you are going!
	11:31am kevlicki: Looking forward to it, and bringing my nephew, who I’ve made into a WFMU listener!
	11:32am Trouble: @kevlicki: good deal!
	11:33am chresti: Thanks Josh and Trouble, great show!
	11:33am morphe': Thanks Trouble and Josh MacPhee and all !!!
	11:37am Sandro: Thank you Josh and Trouble. Awesome research you did. Thank you so much
	11:37am TDK60: Obrigado, Josh, Trouble.
	11:38am listener james from westwood: Saw the story about Rodriguez earlier this a.m. and this was the first show on the station I thought of. Glad to hear this track today.
	11:38am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "sugarman" by "rodriguez" That voice. He really was one of a kind. Descansa bien, mi gente 🕯️💜
	11:39am P-90: Great show today @Trouble, Josh, et al.
	11:39am Gauche Knee: Thanks Trouble & Josh, absolutely fantastic, important & fun convo & lessons! Great news Re: Portuguese pub!
	11:40am chris in the redwoods: this is one of those shows i can’t imagine having missed. learned so much and heard so much great music! thanks, Trouble and Josh!
	11:40am HyperDose: Of course need to plug the amazing "Searching For Sugar Man" documentary as well www.youtube.com...
	11:40am Reno D: Aww, Sixto.
	11:40am northguineahills: ↳ HyperDose @11:40 seen it, i concur,,,
	11:41am Listener Gregory: Very much enjoyed this segment. Thanks, Trouble & Josh.
	11:42am Listener Gregory: It's not quite up the alley of this theme, but it's worth noting that jazz musician Charlie Haden wrote a number of songs supporting revolution in Portugal and its African colonies. (See next.)
	11:43am jt: Just caught the tail end of this... is that the Josh from 'Insta~ Historic NYC'? anyway, his voice sounds just like him. Looking forward to playing catchup in the to listen to this show in the archives.
	11:43am Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:42 (From Wikipedia) While on tour with the Ornette Coleman Quartet in Portugal in 1971, Haden dedicated a performance of his "Song for Ché" to the anticolonialist revolutionaries in the Portuguese colonies of Mozambique, Angola, and Guinea. ...In 1971, Portugal was ruled by the authoritarian Estado Novo regime. The following day, he was detained at Lisbon Airport, jailed, and interrogated by the DGS, the Portuguese secret police. He was released only after Ornette Coleman and others complained to the American cultural attaché, and he was later interviewed in the United States by the FBI about his choice of dedication.[10] A mono recording of Haden's dedication, and the audience's applause, is included at the beginning of "For A Free Portugal" on his 1976 album Closeness.
	11:43am Gauche Knee: ↳ HyperDose @11:40 Yes, amazing doc. RIP Sixto 💐
	11:46am garlic lover: This show has been pretty darn great
	11:47am chris in the redwoods: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:43 whoa! thanks for that. did not know.
	11:48am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "sugarman" by "rodriguez" What a revelation Cold Fact was when we all became aware of it's existence. 'Jumpers, coke and Maryjane...' I hazard to guess jumpers are what us kiddies on the west coast called whites?
	11:48am jt: "Searching for Sugar Man" is one of the best ( if not THE..) best documentaries on a musician. You can't make up a more amazing, heart-wrenching story.
	11:48am Sandro: Muito obrigado pelas memórias. Se algum dia forem a Portugal, sáiam de Lisboa, visitem o Porto, Coimbra, Guarda, Nazaré… comam sardinhas e bifanas, bebam cerveja, comam tremoços e vejam o pôr-do-sol no fim da terra. Aproveitem ! Adeus e até á próxima!
	11:52am Gauche Knee: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:43 Had NO idea, thnx for sharing! Thnx to Sandro & Zinn for your contributions as well! A truly rich show on-air & in chat!
	11:53am bradford: Many thanks Josh & Trouble, excellent show today!

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.

	9:05am Listener Sean in Long Valley: So sad to hear about avalanche the miracle dog. Sending love and condolences to haiku Henry in Maine.
	9:05am kevlicki: Morning Trouble and Josh!
	9:08am TDK60: Trouble & Josh. I'm glad to be here. And, you have the Lusophone on!
	9:09am Juli: I understand why ppl are so grumpy now that I have no Delta 8 lol Grumpy & needing food::: Mother Nature provides for us.
	9:09am Juli: Morning Trouble! Josh! Listeners::}
	9:11am Cal in Dothan: Good morning troublemakers! Juli why no delta??
	9:12am Juli: ↳ Cal in Dothan @9:11 I j got my permit so I don't drive yet::: My brother is dropping sum off at 4:30::}
	9:12am Juli: Excited for this show!
	9:14am Zinn The Mood: Hello dear comrades, Trouble, Josh and all Troublemakers! Excellent intro of the ocean ebb and flow. Been reading Walt Whitman bio and put me in frame of mind to recall his beloved Paumonok. Looking forward to this history conversation!
	9:15am gauche knee: Good Morning Trouble, Josh, & greetings to Modernists & Troublemakers the world over.
	9:17am Sandro: I very much appreciate this Portuguese hour my people. Please do not forget to play some Zeca Afonso. He is the hero, the spark that started it all. The song Grandola Vila Morena( town in souther Portugal ) was the call for revolution to start. Thank you, thank you thank you
	9:19am Juli: Portugal is very cheap to travel to rn
	9:19am Sandro: That’s it brother, you did your research! Thank you for bringing me back home
	9:20am Zinn The Mood: Don’t hear enough about Portugal at all, though of course historically were a major imperialist colonizer. Only thing in forefront of my mind, however, is how progressive they’ve become as a country in terms of legalizing drugs and humanely dealing with drug addiction through carefully managed sites allowing access to users without punitive measures.
	9:23am Sandro: You’re making me cry. I’m at work and I’m sobbing. This is Portuguese soul in a song
	9:24am kayt: Grandola, a musica mais bonita. 🌹 Obrigada Trouble e Josh!
	9:25am chris in the redwoods: I may not get credit, but I’m happy to be in this class. hi, Trouble and everyone!
	9:25am kayt: por acaso vou a Lisboa está noite!
	9:26am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and pássaros canoros. I hope DJ Rob W. is listening.
	9:30am Juli: I'm so sensitive I cannot even watch a Bumble bee in pain::{
	9:31am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:20 Indeed, Portugal, Belgium, and the Netherlands as major colonizers is hard to wrap your head around. Denmark also got a few Caribbean Islands and Greenland!
	9:33am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Sandro @9:17 Even to contemplate such a notion - that music, or even more potently a specific song - could start a Revolution is so deeply moving and confounding, at the same time, to me. Man, there was such hope in the counterculture, particularly all the stirring music then, that a Revolution could be started and succeed. Maybe therein is the difference between the cultures. The penchant here for materialism, convenience and self-aggrandizement, which lead to alienation instead of solidarity, in America ultimately make us soft and increasingly passive to the overwhelming precarity in every direction. We’re too busy ordering little treats from Amazon to keep ourselves anesthetized from the hollow jobs and lifestyles we feel forced into.
	9:35am Ed From Jersey City: Good afternoon from the Tank Museum in Bovington, UK.
	9:37am Juli: I love History:::} Ty for this:::
	9:38am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:33 That song was literally the call to arms. When it started playing on the radio that was the call to start the fight( hopefully only one person was shot during this revolution). It was a beautiful thing my friend… I’m alive because of it
	9:40am Crownless Gander: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:33 Might be hard for a song to achieve in America today, but I'm very encouraged by the masses flocking to be awakened by the Barbie movie, a fairly nuanced and even radical feminist fable!
	9:41am Gauche Knee: ↳ Sandro @9:38 Thank you, Sandro for sharing your insight & part of your story.
	9:41am Emily P.: This is really great - thank you for such a beautiful and informative show! Portugal is a gorgeous country.
	9:43am TDK60: Where/when is that Close Rikers Island prison rally?
	9:43am Juli: I know TWO ppl in Portugal rn!
	9:43am Juli: Traveling that is:::}
	9:44am Trouble: rikers rally starts at 12:30 . originating at city hall and march to foley square at 1:00
	9:45am Trouble: interferencearchive.org justseeds.org
	9:48am Zinn The Mood: Wow, Josh! After the takedown of the fascists in Portuguese the revolutionaries put those malevolent actors in the surveillance police state on a people’s tribunal trial and summarily executed the worst offenders. Just as Che did after they liberated Havana. So powerful: can’t imagine the feeling amongst the populace, having been traumatized by fear, anxiety and brutality of the secret police (read: undercover cops, FBI, CIA, DHS, etc), to have the retribution of seeing their victimizers suffer such a fate. Almost happened, more recently, in Egypt with the Arab Spring about to pay back the notoriously vicious secret police there… until America stepped in (surprise, surprise!) to thwart any revolutionary potential.
	9:50am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:33 It’s hard in here because we are all struggling yes, but it’s not a collective struggle, it’s personal and yes, exacerbated by the simplicity of “let’s just throw money at it” which is the food of selfishness. Could be the solution for all our problems but because we see it selfishly it’s the cause of almost all our problems. Less money less greed less individualism more collective. Very simple but oh pretty much impossible to solve
	9:53am Juli: ↳ Sandro @9:50 For some reason extreme wealth is seen as cool or success
	9:55am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:48 The state police was called PIDE, they were in every facet of society, they would arrest you if you even criticized the government, they were brutal, yes, but the executions you are talking about I did not hear of them. Most of them fled to the African colonies and to Brazil. Now the things that didn’t get publicized may have been brutal… idk
	9:56am HyperDose: Rockin out with Trouble in the AM oh yeah baby! 😎🤙🏾
	9:57am Sandro: ↳ Juli @9:53 It’s cause life is always a struggle and we “see” that more money equals less struggle. It’s an illusion, struggle is struggle.
	9:58am Juli: ↳ Sandro @9:57 There is struggle then there are ppl w golden toilets...so greed is derived from the power they feel:::{
	10:00am Chief Guy: @juli: many people have golden showers too!
	10:01am Juli: ↳ Chief Guy @10:00 Lmao.
	10:03am Zinn The Mood: Thanks for mentioning the “Close Rikers” protest. Wish I could make this one, with the kids (just the type of thing to instill in young ones, Another World Is Possible). Our protest group organized a rally in front of Rikers about 10 years ago. Since then there’s definitely been progress, although the foul bureaucracy involved in doing anything good tends to drag its feet as long as it can. (Maybe they’d move quicker if the threat of a citizen’s tribunal, with real power, was upon them. They continue to be rewarded by “donors” for their inaction). Presently at the Schomburg library and museum in Harlem is one of the most moving exhibits I’ve ever seen in my life. Its focus is on incarceration, and the manifestation of ways one deals with it, individually and collectively, and how brutal and punitive these systems have been allowed to become (“Law and Order,” etc). This is one piece: www.moma.org...
	10:03am Chief Guy: ;)
	10:04am Sandro: ↳ Juli @9:58 Ah! Exactly! A person backed up taking a shit in the woods is definitely suffering less than a backed up person shitting on gold! Lol. Perception
	10:05am Col. Forbin: this is so great. thank you Josh and Trouble
	10:09am Zinn The Mood: Trouble, this is the name of the exhibit I was trying to remember. You must get there. “Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration” www.moma.org... “This major exhibition explores the work of artists within US prisons and the centrality of incarceration to contemporary art and culture. Featuring art made by people in prisons and work by nonincarcerated artists concerned with state repression, erasure, and imprisonment, Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration highlights more than 35 artists, including American Artist, Tameca Cole, Russell Craig, James “Yaya” Hough, Jesse Krimes, Mark Loughney, Gilberto Rivera, and Sable Elyse Smith. The exhibition has been updated to reflect the growing COVID-19 crisis in US prisons, featuring new works by exhibition artists made in response to this ongoing emergency. On view across PS1’s first floor galleries, Marking Time features works that bear witness to artists’ reimagining of the fundamentals of living—time, space, and physical matter—pushing the possibilities of these basic features of daily experience to create new aesthetic visions achieved through material and formal invention. The resulting work is often laborious, time-consuming, and immersive, as incarcerated artists manage penal time through their work and experiment with the material constraints that shape art making in prison. The exhibition also includes work made by nonincarcerated artists—both artists who were formerly incarcerated and those personally impacted by the US prison system. From various sites of freedom or unfreedom, these artists devise strategies for visualizing, mapping, and making physically present the impact and scale of life under carceral conditions. Alongside the exhibition, a series of public programs, education initiatives, and ongoing projects will explore the social and cultural impact of mass incarceration.”
	10:11am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Sandro @9:38 Stunning and inspiring, Sandro. Is there a good piece to read about this that you’d recommend? Thanks.
	10:17am chresti: Morning Trouble and trouble seekers!
	10:21am Jason from Houston: Good greetings, good people.
	10:25am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:11 Tbh I never really read much about it, the stories are told by the victors but they only have a story to tell because of the losers and there’s always truth in both sides. I speak mainly of what I experienced, my next door neighbor was a PIDE agent, we were terrified of even saying anything bad about the state because you never knew who was listening. So keep quiet and hidden was the best option, that’s how they kept the revolution at bay for so long, by fear. You couldn’t leave the country, taxed to the eyeballs, if you had 100 potatoes, the state would take 70 or 80. It was sad understanding him much the greed of a few made the most of us suffer. Perhaps the best way to understand the struggles is to see what happened after, the Portuguese diaspora where soooo many people emigrated in search of a better life. First to Venezuela and France then the US. I can’t tell you a definite read , they all wrote in the way they saw more convenient. Read everything and anything you can get your eyes on…. Sorry buddy , I wish I could help more.
	10:25am chris in the redwoods: heyas, chresti and Jason!
	10:26am chresti: hey chris!
	10:27am Jason from Houston: Hey there, chresti and chris!
	10:27am chresti: Hi good Jason!
	10:28am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:40 Huh? I don’t follow anything like that, and haven’t looked at any news or social media really at all in over a month. Except almost exclusively to watch Cornel West interview appearances, and some football stuff, which both help with keeping sane.
	10:36am Juli: Sad history.
	10:36am CleffyCleff: Beautiful stuff, Trouble and Josh. This is radio at its best.
	10:36am Buddy Ripp: Wow. Fantastique music. And my girlfriend got me the Political Record Labels book for xmas.
	10:37am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:11 Oh, read the lyrics of the songs, most are in “code” form , they will tell you everything about it. Trust me. Zeca Afonso is the most famous singer and face of the revolution but there are many many others that came before him that paved the way. Also, read about the decolonization (that never really happened) that happened after, these things will give you a broader picture of what the Portuguese people went trough
	10:40am pot8o: good morning everyone!
	10:40am paddy in matawan: all amazing music!
	10:45am Sandro: We the people, that was the motto for all these searches for freedom. It still is that way today. The search and never ending battle for democracy. Honest Communication, understanding and Compromise is the answer.
	10:45am Chucktown Dan: Radio is as important as ever. Computers/internet are easily shut. down and controlled. The airwave transmissions are small and transportable. Damn hard to regulate.
	10:46am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Sandro @9:55 Any interest in compiling an oral history of those days, or even contacting a good an investigate journalist whose work you trust, to help get that story together for posterity? Seems the worst fascists have little trouble securing their own security and anonymity in South American haunts.
	10:52am Tony From Chicago: Some back ground on Angola and US involvement-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Stockwell_(CIA_officer)
	10:59am chresti: ln the early 80s I became aware of Angola from reggae music
	11:05am chresti: Also later, The African Beat on KCRW, from the early to mid 80s
	11:06am Greg g: Thank you for the wonderful music and illuminating discussion Trouble and Josh.
	11:06am Arlene: Loving this music, and this show!
	11:08am kevlicki: Sounds like scouring yard sales and flea markets in the New Bedford area (or whaling/port towns along the northeast) has the potential to be fruitful for Cape Verde/Guinea Bissau music.
	11:10am Sandro: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:46 My story would be too short and absolutely incomplete and bias. It does however live on, trough these comments, trough the conversations I have with people…. I have no more ambitions to my share of the history and how I am telling it, as it will never show facts, it will only show my feelings. I do very much appreciate the interest tho! As to South American dictators I believe it’s a lot easier to old on to power when your people are “less” concerned about personal wealth, simply because there is less of it, so you connect more to the land or just living and therefore disconnect more from wealth and the ways to go about getting it. Because they connect more to the land , they become more honest/ gullible and therefore more trusting in words…. Idk , just my two cents
	11:12am Zinn The Mood: The relentless subjugation and rape of Africa continues apace…witness the rare mineral mining in the Congo, right at this moment. A few people get rich off the blood, sweat and tears of thousands and thousands. In light of that I’d like to believe in Dante’s circles of hell as the fate of those who jettison their consciences for illicit riches. Great show, giving these courageous and visionary revolutionary comrades a good hearing! Josh is a fountain of erudition and hope. And like his example, folks, we must begin to find the fearlessness to show up more in public to air our grievances. Social media posting is not going to cut it. All these folks we’re listening to put themselves at great risk for what was/is right.
	11:12am Tony From Chicago: Great music today. Thanks DJ Trouble and Josh MacPhee!!!
	11:12am Trouble: @kevlicki: shhhhhhhhh! stop letting the secrets out
	11:16am kevlicki: Trouble-whoops! Just deducing from industries and migration patterns. Never thought of how ethnographic studies could lead to crate digging behaviors 😝
	11:17am WendyVerona: Great show!
	11:19am Charles in Chicago: This is red-hot!
	11:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Bird news: Identified a yellow warbler while on vacation canoeing. Also saw three meadowlarks in a national park. On another day, spotted a bald eagle in flight.
	11:25am kevlicki: Trouble, will you be attending the BB show tomorrow?
	11:27am Trouble: @kevlicki sorry, no i wont be here...enjoy, if you are going!
	11:31am kevlicki: Looking forward to it, and bringing my nephew, who I’ve made into a WFMU listener!
	11:32am Trouble: @kevlicki: good deal!
	11:33am chresti: Thanks Josh and Trouble, great show!

	11:40am HyperDose: Of course need to plug the amazing "Searching For Sugar Man" documentary as well www.youtube.com...
	11:40am Reno D: Aww, Sixto.
	11:40am northguineahills: ↳ HyperDose @11:40 seen it, i concur,,,
	11:41am Listener Gregory: Very much enjoyed this segment. Thanks, Trouble & Josh.
	11:42am Listener Gregory: It's not quite up the alley of this theme, but it's worth noting that jazz musician Charlie Haden wrote a number of songs supporting revolution in Portugal and its African colonies. (See next.)
	11:43am jt: Just caught the tail end of this... is that the Josh from 'Insta~ Historic NYC'? anyway, his voice sounds just like him. Looking forward to playing catchup in the to listen to this show in the archives.
	11:43am Listener Gregory: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:42 (From Wikipedia) While on tour with the Ornette Coleman Quartet in Portugal in 1971, Haden dedicated a performance of his "Song for Ché" to the anticolonialist revolutionaries in the Portuguese colonies of Mozambique, Angola, and Guinea. ...In 1971, Portugal was ruled by the authoritarian Estado Novo regime. The following day, he was detained at Lisbon Airport, jailed, and interrogated by the DGS, the Portuguese secret police. He was released only after Ornette Coleman and others complained to the American cultural attaché, and he was later interviewed in the United States by the FBI about his choice of dedication.[10] A mono recording of Haden's dedication, and the audience's applause, is included at the beginning of "For A Free Portugal" on his 1976 album Closeness.
	11:43am Gauche Knee: ↳ HyperDose @11:40 Yes, amazing doc. RIP Sixto 💐
	11:46am garlic lover: This show has been pretty darn great
	11:47am chris in the redwoods: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:43 whoa! thanks for that. did not know.
	11:48am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "sugarman" by "rodriguez" What a revelation Cold Fact was when we all became aware of it's existence. 'Jumpers, coke and Maryjane...' I hazard to guess jumpers are what us kiddies on the west coast called whites?
	11:48am jt: "Searching for Sugar Man" is one of the best ( if not THE..) best documentaries on a musician. You can't make up a more amazing, heart-wrenching story.
	11:48am Sandro: Muito obrigado pelas memórias. Se algum dia forem a Portugal, sáiam de Lisboa, visitem o Porto, Coimbra, Guarda, Nazaré… comam sardinhas e bifanas, bebam cerveja, comam tremoços e vejam o pôr-do-sol no fim da terra. Aproveitem ! Adeus e até á próxima!
	11:52am Gauche Knee: ↳ Listener Gregory @11:43 Had NO idea, thnx for sharing! Thnx to Sandro & Zinn for your contributions as well! A truly rich show on-air & in chat!
