	9:22am ampism: Hello, from Brighton UK
	9:23am Zip7: Troubled modernists! Yeah, I'm picking up WRTI interference at 90.1 in Hudson Valley. Weird!
	9:24am Philip: aggghhhhhhh Callas . Impeccable.
	9:27am Toothgrinder Tom: Re Callas, La divina indeed.
	9:28am Gregosaurus: ↳ Zip7 @9:23 Sun Ra caused a space warp, it seems.
	9:29am Paul in the OC: Morning Trouble & all the troubled! Nice spacey set so far, which syncs with the trivia: apparently there are 19 people in space right now, which is a record. Would not have set that if not for the two stranded on the ISS!
	9:31am Trouble: thanks @Paul in the OC for the space trivia. I love it!
	9:31am Spikey BXL: ↳ Gregosaurus @9:28 and a typo in the album title ;)
	9:33am Philip: hahahahaha those headlines should totally exist.
	9:33am emilyh: wow, signing in now (a rare morning sign-in) to say i could hug the STUFFING outta you for playing that delibes/callas
	9:33am loquat: Nowhere is right. He has been thoroughly normalized. She kicked his arse the other night tho
	9:33am mlsgrrl: Working from home on Thursdays includes the treat of tuning in to Trouble! Hooray!
	9:33am ?: Your not supposed to talk about politics
	9:34am Chris in Kensington Bklyn: We support your plan to normalize opera, DJ Trouble!
	9:34am word: We’re here inside the same galaxy too! Thanks for this morning’s transmissions.
	9:34am Spankyflop: People think we are living in a simulation. I think we are living in a satire.
	9:34am StringOFperils: People don’t discuss acting Prez JD Vance either, which could happen. Crump’s mind will completely unravel before the end of the next term; he can’t drive.
	9:34am Lucky: USA Today delivers, believ it or not: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2024/09/10/debate-harris-trump-lies-meltdown/75144144007/
	9:35am Juli P: Humans are ready to change:
	9:35am Juli P: We are going to be kind now.
	9:36am Zip7: The documentary "Maria by Callas: In Her Own Words" made me a fan for life. Diva of divas!
	9:36am Listener Bryan (the Professor): Morning, Trouble & all troubled modernistas
	9:36am Juli P: Yeah the satire of my life saying hey remember the hippies are the end of the world and getting beat up for it.
	9:36am Juli P: If I had money I would have fake eye lashes then they wouldn't beat me up.
	9:36am Trouble: @lucky: thanks, but sadly that is just an opinion. I want a headline that declares what we all know to be true: he is nutters!
	9:37am Listener Bryan (the Professor): That was a lovely callback to Scott’s selection of “Space Girl” for the hit list this morning. Sorry if someone already said that. Out on a run. Catch you on the other side.
	9:37am Lucky: That sounds reasonable...
	9:38am chresti: Morning Trouble and space agers!
	9:38am TC: Trouble...thank you for the commentary. We need more. (Thursday is my favorite WFMU lineup!)
	9:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ Lucky @9:34 Ha! Traditionally: frinkiac.com...
	9:39am melinda: Morning Trouble and friends!
	9:40am Franco Twinkie: Look at The New York Times this morning: The Stakes of Presidential Power By Charlie Savage. Inform yourself thoroughly before you jump the gun.
	9:41am Listener John from NJ: Oh, dear Ms. DJ Trouble, it's so strange newspapers aren't publishing the clear and simple truth about that candidate. I agree with you 100%. And if you ever feel like it, please try to normalize a bit of Mozart's Die Zauberflote? It was my wife's favorite opera, and you were her favorite DJ (the only one she told me should listen to). Also, the Mozart is fun.
	9:43am Hot Rodney: It’s Sharky’s day today!
	9:43am Harry Corvair: ↳ Song: "kokoku" by "laurie anderson" They say the dead will rise again. And here they come now!
	9:44am Trouble: @ franco twinkle: that is not a headline that tells what happens, that is a news analysis. similar but no cigar. I am talking facts here, not interpretations
	9:48am tom tom the pipers son: @ trouble: just got back from an ugly bus trip through queens and maria callas made everything beautiful... i finally 'got' operatic singing...it's like an air freshener, but it banishes ugliness
	9:49am UKSteve: Really liking this new Laurie Anderson stuff….
	9:50am Zip7: I think things are turning. Marched with the Dems in a local parade recently and wasn't greeted by a forest of middle fingers or a rock glancing off my head. City council said no candidate banners, so Repubs didn't even participate. Orangeboi is all they have
	9:50am ginsbergrhombus: good morning from austin texas. your show always transports me from my office to the astral plane. thanks so much
	9:52am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): come for the music, stay for the feather prison
	9:53am UKSteve: 1984 !! Haha and there’s still more of this amazing woman’s work I haven’t heard before Thanks Trouble
	9:53am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "You Know The Rest" by "Chrysta Bell & David Lynch" Agent Tammy!
	9:54am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Trouble @9:44 Where do you start then? The New York Times rarely has attention grabbing headlines. Instead, multi-layered perspectives buried within. How about this - turn off WFMU and turn on WBAI?
	9:54am Zip7: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @9:52 Bixa! I still crack up over your Ken comment that if you had a komodo dragon you'd name it "Mr. Pretty."
	9:55am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Zip7 @9:54 lol! i wish mr.pretty was here right now. i bet they get pretty snuggly in cold weather . then i could call him mr. pretty snuggly
	9:55am Guido from Cologne: R.i.P. Rebecca Horn
	9:55am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): you know in this fantasy world where my domesticated komodo dragon doesn't eat me
	9:56am HyperDose: so good
	9:56am Trouble: back off @franco twinkie. no need to get angry at me for calling out the normalization of the crazy man who is running for president
	9:57am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:54 i have not listened to bai for a minute, but i don't think they are what they were 25 yrs ago...democracy now- the better choice
	9:57am emilyh: ↳ Trouble @9:56 thank you
	9:58am emilyh: ↳ Trouble @9:56 i mean, thank you from me, a proudly childless cat lady
	9:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:57 wghich i know you watch
	9:58am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Song: "that's how strong my love is" by "The Youngbloods" Not heard this before. It's beautiful.
	9:58am emilyh: ↳ Rich in Bristol @9:58 i never heard this version either - just favorited it
	9:59am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Guido from Cologne @9:55 amen <3
	10:01am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Trouble @9:56 This is a clear illustration of why leftist like ourselves can't get along. I was merely suggesting that deep reading can quell the legitimate concern we all have. Back to the music....please?
	10:05am Acid Cazh: The capitalist class has been programming all of us, with the intention of making the general populace incapable of deep reading. The best way for them to keep the working class divided is to shrink our attention spans with addictive social media and an amnesiac news cycle, where groundbreaking news is forgotten in a matter of days if not hours.
	10:05am common: ↳ Trouble @9:56 damn straight!
	10:07am wenzo: I did hear Elon Musk has been cloning his ego
	10:07am Handy Haversack: Bring a book: this is about the best advice one can give.
	10:08am Micheal: Space is the Place for billionaires.
	10:08am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:57 In Los Angeles we have KPFK - sister station to WBAI. Granted, their are lots of new age crack-pots mixed in with the voices of reason, it can't be dismissed.
	10:08am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Trouble @9:56 Trouble, the orange clown has gotten a free pass from the press for years. For all his lies and shenanigans. Odd how, now the Biden is outta the running, age is no longer an issue. I do have an [adult] child, but I'm also a cat dad.
	10:09am StringOFperils: Maybe, just possibly, the broad swathe of news readership is already aware of the fact that DT is insane, and that truisms that carry headlines seem crazy themselves. One of the first things journalists claimed 5 years ago was that they had no idea how to cover the guy in the media, because it was all so blatantly f***I up from the get-go, with no cover-ups or remorse or even guile. He’s something new; he’s a no-brow, ha ha ha.
	10:10am Artie: Musk has never been to space, though his ego and buffoonery may well be visible from orbit.
	10:11am Zip7: I feel like the quality of Times columnists has really declined since the days of Frank Rich. Bruni, Bouie, Goldberg and Krugman are good, but Pamela Paul?! Always liked Gail Collins, but she doesn't seem that interested anymore. Douthat is certifiable, though I know they need a token rightwinger
	10:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Trouble @9:56 i think harris is a pretty much 'business as usual' politician ie. support for military industrial complex, lukewarm reception of immigration when they are shoring up economy, plus other missed opportunities in the dumb-bait ...many other things ie. gaza...she's no bargain...not saying you're doing this' but there's no need to normalize her either...
	10:11am Juli P: Freaks & enchanted Unite!
	10:11am Artie: My main hold on hope for November is that just enough voters will decide that they don't want to endure four more years of that tired act. And it might just work out that way.
	10:11am Toothgrinder Tom: @StringOfPerils I for one was happy to hear the moderators fact check in real time some of the more outrageous and bilious nonsense spilling from one of the debate participants’ lips.
	10:12am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:05 I barely finished high school, yet I choose to dig for truth in the piles of trash out there. Why can't other people?
	10:12am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Handy Haversack @10:07 ^^^^ !!! ^^^^
	10:12am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Zip7 @10:11 Ah yes, Ross Douthat, who mourned the passing of WASPs.
	10:13am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "vulnerable" by "Nicole Mitchell and Ballaké Sissoko" I've been selling a lot of records I don't listen to any more to make room on my record shelves for new stuff. Like this!
	10:13am Fred and Alan: Peter love from Fred and Alan
	10:15am Artie: While I want the whole policy enchilada, honestly, just preventing the alternative and keeping us marginally on track towards addressing climate change would seem like a massive win. We'll continue fighting for the rest once this battle is won.
	10:15am emilyh: all i can think of now is whitey on the moon
	10:16am rebuketodali: Good morning from cloudy Florida, where I am reading about postmillennial thought in 19th-C America, which explains so much of why we're in this mess.
	10:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:08 maybe i'll try kpfk...
	10:16am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:13 Ah, looking at the bandcamp, too bad this is only digital and CD, otherwise I'd snatch up a copy. Maybe I'll get the CD anyway, it's beautiful. And also I see that Nicole Mitchell lives in North Carolina now which would explain why I haven't seen her around Chicago much lately.
	10:17am emilyh: ↳ Zip7 @10:11 agreed about the nyt
	10:17am melinda: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:11 I agree re: Harris
	10:17am Toothgrinder Tom: @Artie remember, whoever wins the election gets to appoint judges as well.
	10:18am rebuketodali: Thanks for this Rebecca Horn image, Trouble. RIP.
	10:18am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:05 Deep reading, yes. I was talking to somebody the other day who said they started reading Moby Dick but put it down because they couldn't take the slow pace and long discursive passages. Actually I know several people who have confessed to me that they can't read books anymore because they are used to having text broken down into small easily-digested bits. The "attention economy" has wrecked deep reading for a lot of folks.
	10:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ melinda @10:17 there may be cards in her deck she's not showing.... but it's all she's shown so far
	10:19am melinda: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:18 I've heard this too about reading. Sad.
	10:20am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Fred and Alan @10:13 Good morning Fred and Alan. Sorry I missed you on Wake. How's Alan's eye?
	10:22am StringOFperils: The Presidency is not a pretty job. Whoever it is will sanction reprehensible deeds; foreign policy can’t help but be an endless flying shit-show. And things at home are hobbled in Congress. Terrible things happened on President Obama’s watch, just as they have, and will, during any incumbent’s regime. Kamala Harris will get ripped to shreds by her detractors, but at least she isn’t visibly a pathological menace to everyone. The other camp will flatly disagree, of course. They’re gagging for an empire of crime.
	10:22am Juli P: WE must change in society: How can we each make a difference?! By personal habits alike w large change
	10:23am Juli P: Lead by example & will
	10:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Zip7 @10:11 masha gessen also...used to follow krugman, but started to feel his focus was narrow and he was repeating himself and sometimes felt his opinion lacked courage
	10:25am Handy Haversack: In better news, Radio does not have heartworms! So once we clear up this pink eye, we should be looking good. Though he's beggaring us with how much food he's eating still.
	10:26am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyy there.
	10:27am Zip7: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:24 My favorite columnist is Alexandra Petri in Washington Post -- she is brilliant and hilarious
	10:28am Adrian in London: Good afternoon/morning, Trouble and troublees. Breaking off from watching loopy 1974 film Identikit with Elizabeth Taylor to listen in.
	10:29am Trouble: hola @ adrian!
	10:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @10:22 i think its possible to have the two views at the same time...recognize her sanity and being the only sane candidate and look at her clear eyed you're right it is a dirty job...
	10:30am Acid Cazh: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:18 Personally, I stopped using Twitter/Facebook/etc, and have dramatically reduced my time on Reddit. Instead, I read three longform news emails a day (New York Times, Morning Brew, Letters From an American). I use Bluesky and Mastodon some, but the non-algorithmic chronological feed means that I pop in and see new posts, then close the app after 90 to 240 seconds and then go on with my day. I plunked down money for a subscription to The Paris Review and read that alongside one other literary journal (currently POETRY Magazine, which I am about to swap out with Beloit Poetry Journal). My brain is happier, my focus is more focused.
	10:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Zip7 @10:27 thanks ...i'm writing that down...
	10:30am Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:25 Yay for Radio's good health! 🥂
	10:32am StringOFperils: That’s the thing with democracy. You have to entertain many conflicting ideas at the same time. Begrudging consensus is the only way to move the country forward. Nobody gets to be a big selfish stubborn baby.
	10:34am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Magical Connection" by "gabor szabo" Catching a vibe over here!
	10:34am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:30 I glance at The Guardian. I subscribe to The Baffler and Jacobin and Salvage. I think I'm going to let Jacobin lapse, though. Salvage ... well, it's a nonprofit communist cooperative, but it would be nice if they published a little more often. And I decided to support Hellgate, a local, worker-owned NYC-focused web publication. No social media. No spyphone.
	10:34am common: ↳ Adrian in London @10:28 that film is insane!
	10:36am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:30 Yes, I think it's possible to reverse the damage. A few years ago I felt my attention getting fragmented, and detached from the online world (mostly). I sat down and read "Memoirs from Beyond the Tomb" by Chateaubriand (1768-1848), a few thousand pages, and got deeply into history and French literature. I also have subscriptions to the New York and London Review of Books. It's so much better that way, reading carefully edited pieces by informed people, instead of hot takes from random people.
	10:36am Zip7: ↳ StringOFperils @10:32 > Nobody gets to be a big selfish stubborn baby. My wife said something like this to me the other night. Now she refers to me as Farouk when I behave this way: "Are we getting a visit from Farouk?"
	10:36am Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:34 Yes, but you've never had a cell phone. As a result I feel like your brain has a great deal of built-in immunity to the whole attention crisis.
	10:38am StringOFperils: Ha ha ha, zip!
	10:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:36 I've never even had a brain! They'll never take what doesn't exist!
	10:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and people of interest!
	10:41am Mxter Baba: Sliding in after KFHP with a howdy to Trouble and Troublers all. These sounds are pretty.
	10:42am Ochre Ogre: Bonjour Trouble!
	10:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @10:32 i helped with the staging for a bill clinton appearance at brooklyn college....first thing, approaching the building, snipers were visible on roofs surrounding the college...inside there was lots curtaining. i was struck the choice of color being so studied and mediocre at the same time...it might as well had been grey... on the stage two large projection screens flanked the podium...they tested the video and two images of the starship enterprise gliding through space appeared on there screens.... all the while the staging management were trying to keep a transgendered crew member hidden from feds
	10:44am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:18 I like this article: ismatu.substack.com... "you’ve been traumatized into hating reading (and it makes you easier to oppress)." by Ismatu Gwendolyn
	10:44am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:36 You can carry a cell phone without having social media apps on it. I use mine for phone calls, SMS messaging, playing WFMU via VLC, and photography. Oh and also paying for parking since Chicago uses an app for that... that's about all I do with it. Not having the phone would just be an inconvenience, especially when I have to park the car.
	10:44am Charles in Chicago: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:44 Damn
	10:45am climate_ctrl: Lovely
	10:46am melinda: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:36 Personally I feel screens/internet generally are the problem. I can easily put away my smartphone (and resent being nudged to use it even more with everything going to apps), but the laptop still beckons.
	10:48am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:44 reading this inspired me to focus on reading more this year. i remember as a teenager being in the camp of punks who thought tv was melting hte minds of our peers & parents, but now smart phones are doing the same thing. and i'm addicted! i'm totally addicted. i feel like i'm cheating on life while i have an affair with my screen. i joined a virtual book club recently to get more hype/have more accountability around actually finishing books again... but it feels good to be back. it's kind of existential 😵‍💫
	10:49am StringOFperils: Nothing more surreal than politicking, Tom Tom.
	10:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @10:49 word...
	10:50am Skip Intro: Lovely x-fade
	10:50am HyperDose: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:49 many words!
	10:50am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" Gott this chokes me up every time
	10:52am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ HyperDose @10:50 ....; )
	10:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:48 Someone from Internet Addicts Anonymous was on Techtonic some months back. Might be worth a listen? www.wfmu.org... At least one WFMU listener expresses a lot of gratitude toward that organization.
	10:53am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Heads up there is a red tailed hawk outside my kitchen window, short friends stay home it's not safe to come over today!
	10:53am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:52 internetaddictsanonymous.org
	10:53am sc0j0: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @10:50 same
	10:53am Yes: Really great sounds
	10:54am ?: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" Oh my! What is he using it for!!
	10:54am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" First time I heard this song was on Jesse's Polyglot show. Still gets me right in the heart.
	10:54am StringOFperils: Stain remover.
	10:55am Joey!: I heard this for the first time on the Hearts of Space show. Always loved it!
	10:55am Steve Del Sol: ↳ StringOFperils @10:54 That's what I thought.
	10:57am iiibeat: I just wanna share the poem I wrote while listening. Thank You for the structural support, DJ Trouble!
	10:57am Zip7: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @10:50 Yes. Bryars said when he was producing this, it stopped people in their tracks and produced an emotional response in all
	10:57am iiibeat: (Jade) Hands Again (Shade) As the years pass, (draw) open to establishing precedent. Yellow wildflowers reach like yogis determined in diffusive flow. Pain logs for temperament, not discoloring range of motion. Standing cloud in love with breath. Streaming standard, wave form hand. Travelling all together in music to ascend. Mountain page eagle blanket. Soaring rabbit top-hat grab. In rolling spirals thunder interpretation. Cracked into temperature blend. From normal residues of logic stranded and threaded sand. Power (why are they like that?) turned a false corner. As finger touches hand, lung and hair. My neighbor found a repetitive (country) automotive photograph and jumped a bit, inside. From swelling (look a horse in the mouth) tangles did smooth window fall. Climbing through decades. Winding up in weird dreams. Happy smear (double) cake through! Which smacks of lethal arrogance in moon eel hallways.
	10:58am JReganK: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:43 Hey, Tom. Sounds like you could be describing a dream.
	10:58am King Adam: only love ....... what's he singing?
	10:58am Carmen: Oooh this song is bringing up so many feelings. Want to cry, maybe I will
	10:59am JReganK: ↳ King Adam @10:58 "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me, Yet".
	10:59am Charles in Chicago: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:48 There are just so many great books out there. I just finished Julian Barnes "Nothing to Be Afraid Of", an extended meditation on the fear of death. Before that I read a bunch of Alexander Hemon. Then there's the classics... Stendahl, Flaubert, etc... once you dive in it's hard to stop!
	10:59am Ochre Ogre: ↳ Trouble @9:36 YES! Me too. Lawerence O'Donnell did a good piece on how the NY Times ignores his senseless twisted mania: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFd4zflqfeA&list=LL&index=2
	10:59am mlsgrrl: I know we're on a string about too much internet, but I just had to know: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:00am King Adam: yes but after only love? thank you so much Trouble my heart needed this
	11:00am rebuketodali: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" This is my first time hearing this. My god...
	11:00am traven: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" Will someone please shut this guy up?
	11:00am JReganK: ↳ rebuketodali @11:00 This got heavy rotation on the station some years back.
	11:01am emilyh: ↳ traven @11:00 no.
	11:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ JReganK @10:58 hey jregank... yes,... sort of close to the belly of the beast
	11:01am JReganK: ↳ traven @11:00 Change the station, Troll!
	11:01am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Handy Haversack @10:52 o cool thanks for the link
	11:01am Steve Del Sol: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:59 Try Denial Of Death by Ernest Becker. It may tie things together a bit.
	11:02am Charles in Chicago: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:48 I just remembered this "Lockdown Reading List" from 2020/2021, suggestions from listeners to this very show!!! docs.google.com...
	11:02am Speedy Pete: I could listen to this all day!
	11:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:59 I just read a collaboration between China Miéville and Keanu Reeves! We are through the looking-glass, people!

	11:02am JReganK: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:01 "Tom's 117th Dream"!
	11:03am Meesalikeu: reminds me of suicide dream baby dream
	11:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" Real, real good.
	11:03am StringOFperils: I never knew that this was the old tramp’s own improvised song, and not an old Anglican hymn. Apparently Bryars and others couldn’t find any traces of it anywhere; and the fellow himself was gone into time…so it’s origins seem to be with the old man.
	11:04am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:59 I have an obsessive tendency to gobble up all the work of one artist/musician/director/actor.... so I've been reading Ursula Le Guin lately. Starting with the Earthsea books (which I've read -er, listened to before). Earthsea is like the comfort food of books for me atm
	11:04am therblig: This is one of those pieces of music that makes you regret you can only hear it for the first time once. It never loses its power to move the soul, but the impact of that first time is indescribably beautiful.
	11:04am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:02 okay goldmine
	11:04am King Adam: @NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA thanks! I love it!
	11:04am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Steve Del Sol @11:01 Interesting, I'll check it out. And you should check out the Barnes, it's one of the best things I've ever read... so many great quotations from many different writers and philosophers
	11:04am StringOFperils: Spellcheck. What rubbish. It even wrecks grammar.
	11:05am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Ochre Ogre @10:59 do they? they cerrtainly weren't before harris wqas nominated and with the nomination of vance the were "heralding a new era" for the dollar ...msnbc whitewashing times that;'s all
	11:05am Charles in Chicago: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @11:04 Me too, I recently read ALL of Alexander Hemon's work. I grew up with LeGuin and she's still great. Have you seen her "translation" of the Tao Te Ching?
	11:05am Beguiling Mysophilia: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" This one reminds me of pronoia and a ham report I read at the end of August. Ham Report: August 19, 2024 Disembodied ham ex nihilo has become self aware, has the ability to transmute pain into pure love and tastes great thinly sliced. 🌎🫸💓🫷🌐
	11:05am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:05 (oops sorry, Aleksandar)
	11:05am rebuketodali: ↳ therblig @11:04 Yep, tears are going now. Wow, what a gift for this morning.
	11:05am emilyh: ↳ StringOFperils @11:04 microsoft's spellcheck is basically a wiki. which explains a LOT.
	11:06am Carmen: I did cry. A lot
	11:06am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ King Adam @11:04 King Adam, The man singing it is an unknown homeless man recorded for a documentary about street life in London
	11:06am Micheal: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" Perfect for this week. Thanks, Trouble.
	11:07am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:05 gasp I have not! I must read a copy!
	11:07am rebuketodali: Oh WHAT that was Derek Bailey on guitar? Of course it was.
	11:07am Webhamster Henry: Avoid the Tom Waits version of Jesus' Blood...
	11:07am emilyh: obscured by liquid! unreleased pink floyd! :)
	11:08am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:07 Interesting…I LOVE that one!
	11:08am Noir Lover: Didn't they play Yakety Sax as the Titanic sank?
	11:08am Ochre Ogre: ↳ Ochre Ogre @10:59 Honestly, shouldn't there be top psychiatrists being interviewed on major news networks regularly speaking out about how extremely narcissistic, hateful and Dangerous he is?
	11:08am Squinchy: hee hee: "release uranus"
	11:08am Jeffrey from west Florida: Was introduced to this piece on John Schaefer’s “New Sounds” love it so much. 26 minutes ? I could listen for 2000 years. Tell me who doesn’t love … what can never come back ?
	11:09am Mxter Baba: ↳ Zip7 @10:57 yes, I was puttering about the house then I was all… what is this? what is happening???
	11:10am disco_nap_: Not an article but a doc: www.imdb.com...
	11:11am disco_nap_: ↳ disco_nap_ @11:10 (About Trump's psychology)
	11:11am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Ochre Ogre @11:08 I hate how most of the media has just normalized this behavior.
	11:11am Handy Haversack: The dog and I need to hit the shops, I'm afraid. This has been great, Trouble! Many thanks! Later on, all -- stay Troubled!
	11:11am Mxter Baba: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:52 and thanks, Handy—taint no shame in seeking help. I’ve pretty much consolidated most of my internet time to the WFMU chats. This is my only social media, and quite often where I get my breaking news.
	11:12am StringOFperils: Infotainment has been our bargain with the Devil
	11:12am Ochre Ogre: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:11 Cheers Handy!
	11:12am disco_nap_: ↳ disco_nap_ @11:11 Also, here's a book: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
	11:14am King Adam: @Carmen me too
	11:14am Listener John from NJ: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" There was a version with Yom Waits; it was on a release called "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet." I think that "Jesus' Blood" was the only piece on it, running for 40 or 50 minutes or more. If my memory serves me well. Also, there was a short "single version" with TW on it.
	11:14am Mxter Baba: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:44 A therapist I worked with said that when one is in a hypervigilant traumatized condidion, one cannot drop into the extended focus needed to read a book. I knew I was helaing when I finished a novel for the first time in years. Now my medicine is reading for pleasure. And sending snail mail written in cursive!
	11:16am disco_nap_: ↳ Mxter Baba @11:14 Wow that really hits.
	11:16am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Floating Sunset ( feat cavana lee & laraaji)" by ... Autoharp Alert!
	11:17am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Mxter Baba @11:14 Praise Jambi! 🧞
	11:18am Ochre Ogre: ↳ disco_nap_ @11:10 Thanks! And this one, a recent Mrs Betty Bowers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhIlH_iW0xQ&list=LL&index=6&t=923s
	11:18am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Mxter Baba @11:14 oh i'm sure. yesterday i was reading in a newsletter that apparently slowly turning your head from side to side can help relax your nervous system/restore a sense of safety. when we are anxious/stressed apparently our eyes dart around. it seems important to prepare the space (whether its a cozy chair or the body you're living in) before sitting down to focus
	11:19am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Mxter Baba @11:14 + resonate with reading as medicine. when i can sit and focus for a while on my tattered paperback i feel ... someting.. healing
	11:19am Ochre Ogre: ↳ StringOFperils @11:12 Indeed!
	11:19am Mxter Baba: ↳ disco_nap_ @11:16 It was an eye opener for me. And though I’ll always love my nonfiction, my reading for pleasure must be fiction—YA stuff is the best!
	11:20am Mxter Baba: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:17 Mekka lekka HI! Your wish will be granted!
	11:23am Ochre Ogre: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:11 It is disturbing, the "sane washing."
	11:23am Mxter Baba: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @11:18 oh, those are great tips, thanks! makes so much sense to activate the “rest and digest” state now and then, eh?
	11:24am Listener John from NJ: Is there something wrong with me? I hear the Gavin Bryars piece and have no emotional reaction at all. Not even the first time I heard it. Of course, I have many things wrong with me, but this is a new one,
	11:25am Mxter Baba: ↳ Listener John from NJ @11:24 it takes all kinds
	11:28am Zip7: Graduate school ruined my ability to read for pleasure for years. A thousand-plus pages a week of turgid academic prose where "backward run the sentences until reels the mind" . . . you read the intro, conclusion and skim the rest. But I still found time to settle down with a nice "Classics Illustrated."
	11:30am traven: There's nothing wrong with you at all.
	11:31am Miketp: Hiya trouble.checking in from DUNDEE OR..
	11:33am Ochre Ogre: ↳ disco_nap_ @11:12 Alrighty then! Will read this.
	11:34am Yair Yona: Hi Trouble. hello everyone. I played with Roland P Young once with my exp band Farthest South. Fun times
	11:34am WoodsOfMaine: Re: anxiety. My doctor suggested mindfulness training. So I did a little digging and came across a Harvard Health article that described a form of meditation that to me seems a lot like TM. You pick a word/phrase to be repeated, close your eyes, relax, and silently repeat. I now do this twice a day for 20 minutes and have been shocked at how effective it is. Gives me the same feeling I used to get when trying the Andrew Weil breathing technique.
	11:37am Barney Grubbs: I occasionally have had to go to awards banquets for chemists & we started playing the "drink every time they say 'seminal' in the award citation" game. A colleague suggested that "germinal" or "pioneering" would be better (and also healthier for our aging livers).
	11:37am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Listener John from NJ @11:24 Up until today, I’d only heard the one (original?) with the hobo recording…and then Tom Waits comes in near the end. I found it quite affecting. But hey, sometimes things just don’t resonate.
	11:37am Webhamster Henry: City Of God! a Brazil very unlike Black Orpheus'.
	11:38am Stanley: What great chat I'm following today. So much resonates with me. Baba - I very connected with what you said about the extended focus needed to read a book. I'm coming out of a bad period and have noticed I no longer had the attention ability to read books, so gave up on them. Today I thought of buying a book I'm interested in. (Moon Zappa's autobiography - mixed reviews but I thought, hey, I'll make my own mind up on this)
	11:38am Ochre Ogre: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:34 Interesting, so there is no co$t? With TM there is substantial payment required.
	11:39am Webhamster Henry: Waste Land on Kanopy: www.kanopy.com...
	11:41am Trouble: @yair yona: isnt roland a fabulous guy? very sweet
	11:41am Stanley: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:34 Woods - I'm very happy to hear that. I've taken up walking meditation, since moving to the country and that, too, I feel is helping me.
	11:43am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): great show today trouble thank you
	11:43am Webhamster Henry: This Swingin' Brazilian World!
	11:44am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "reza" by "the sergio mendes trio" RIP, Sergio.
	11:45am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Ochre Ogre @11:38 None. I’d done enough reading on TM…and there’s some disagreement about whether the cost is actually worth it. I dunno. I just gave it a shot. The only trick was that I ended up picking up a Sanscrit mantra because I just could not get English words to not generate more discursive thought.
	11:46am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Stanley @11:41 I live in the country as well so yes, it sort of fits, eh?
	11:46am Billybob: Dems never liked Kamala. They just hate Trump more. When I saw how she was rolled out in July, all I heard was "Welcome to the Machine". That's all she is, a figurehead for the Dem machine. At least Trump has campaigned and campaigned for his support. He's endured investigations, impeachments, lawsuits and even a bullet. People genuinely like him. Kamala's done nothing, yet somehow, he's the "threat to democracy". Good luck to us all if Kamala wins in November.
	11:47am WoodsOfMaine: Welcome to lame cliche day.
	11:47am listener james from westwood: One of the biggest gifts my mom gave me was to play her copy of THE big Brasil '66 record when I was wee. And to let me play the album once I could be trusted with a tone arm! Ensured I'd always be cheered and cheerful later in life when hearing Mendes and his crew.
	11:47am Stanley: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:46 Sure and you also get (in my case much needed) excercise, too.
	11:49am Ochre Ogre: ↳ Stanley @11:38 I feel you. I can tear through a book if it's something of real interest to me. Also, always intriguing buddha mindfulness.
	11:49am StringOFperils: I’m off to the back recesses of a local cemetery to practice mindfulness on my guitar. It’s great because all the sources of angst are underneath the lawn, no doubt behaving themselves better than they did in life. Haven’t had any complaints yet. Thanks for the radio show! Be well!
	11:50am Michael C St Lou: Really enjoying the show and the chat, lurking while working. Thank you Trouble and all! and yes, they have proven that wresting is fake
	11:51am traven: ↳ Billybob @11:46 Kamala Harris sure talks a good game, no doubt about that. However, this voter would be highly interested on just how she stands on the issues.
	11:55am Michael C St Lou: ↳ Michael C St Lou @11:50 on television that is, at least thats what i saw on tv
	11:55am Trouble: here you go @ traven kamalaharris.com...
	11:56am disco_nap_: Thank you, Trouble! And Troublemakers! <3
	11:56am Billybob: ↳ traven @11:51 We were supposed to find out on Tuesday, but that didn't really happen. She seemed more interested in getting Trump. And he let her, so he's culpable, too.
	11:57am WoodsOfMaine: Great show Trouble, as usual!
	11:57am Triple G: Thanks Trouble!
	11:57am traven: ↳ Trouble @11:55 I thank you, dear lady. Rest assured I will carefully examine her platform.
	11:58am tom tom the pipers son: thanks trouble....
	11:58am Acid Cazh: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:36 Sorry I dropped off for a bit there everyone, my work morning got HECTIC. But I've been listening and loving it as always Trouble, thanks for another incredible show — see you next week!
	11:58am Ochre Ogre: ↳ Billybob @11:46 Nothin to do with luck. More like a leader that is sensible, levelheaded, decent, LAW-ABIDING and has a sense of humor.
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Trouble. Have a good week.
	11:58am listener james from westwood: Thanks a ton, Trouble!
	11:59am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Ochre Ogre @11:58 Imagine that…law-abiding. Refreshing.
	11:59am chresti: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Ochre Ogre: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Stanley: Thank you Trouble. Everone.
	11:59am JReganK: Thnx, Trouble!
	12:00pm Zip7: Good luck with class prep, Trouble! It's like writing a book!
	12:00pm Artie: Thanks, Trouble!
	12:04pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Michael C St Lou @11:55 Ha! Good one, I get it.

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.

	9:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ Lucky @9:34 Ha! Traditionally: frinkiac.com...
	9:39am melinda: Morning Trouble and friends!
	9:40am Franco Twinkie: Look at The New York Times this morning: The Stakes of Presidential Power By Charlie Savage. Inform yourself thoroughly before you jump the gun.
	9:41am Listener John from NJ: Oh, dear Ms. DJ Trouble, it's so strange newspapers aren't publishing the clear and simple truth about that candidate. I agree with you 100%. And if you ever feel like it, please try to normalize a bit of Mozart's Die Zauberflote? It was my wife's favorite opera, and you were her favorite DJ (the only one she told me should listen to). Also, the Mozart is fun.
	9:43am Hot Rodney: It’s Sharky’s day today!
	9:43am Harry Corvair: ↳ Song: "kokoku" by "laurie anderson" They say the dead will rise again. And here they come now!
	9:44am Trouble: @ franco twinkle: that is not a headline that tells what happens, that is a news analysis. similar but no cigar. I am talking facts here, not interpretations
	9:48am tom tom the pipers son: @ trouble: just got back from an ugly bus trip through queens and maria callas made everything beautiful... i finally 'got' operatic singing...it's like an air freshener, but it banishes ugliness
	9:49am UKSteve: Really liking this new Laurie Anderson stuff….
	9:50am Zip7: I think things are turning. Marched with the Dems in a local parade recently and wasn't greeted by a forest of middle fingers or a rock glancing off my head. City council said no candidate banners, so Repubs didn't even participate. Orangeboi is all they have
	9:50am ginsbergrhombus: good morning from austin texas. your show always transports me from my office to the astral plane. thanks so much
	9:52am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): come for the music, stay for the feather prison
	9:53am UKSteve: 1984 !! Haha and there’s still more of this amazing woman’s work I haven’t heard before Thanks Trouble
	9:53am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "You Know The Rest" by "Chrysta Bell & David Lynch" Agent Tammy!
	9:54am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Trouble @9:44 Where do you start then? The New York Times rarely has attention grabbing headlines. Instead, multi-layered perspectives buried within. How about this - turn off WFMU and turn on WBAI?
	9:54am Zip7: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @9:52 Bixa! I still crack up over your Ken comment that if you had a komodo dragon you'd name it "Mr. Pretty."
	9:55am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Zip7 @9:54 lol! i wish mr.pretty was here right now. i bet they get pretty snuggly in cold weather . then i could call him mr. pretty snuggly
	9:55am Guido from Cologne: R.i.P. Rebecca Horn
	9:55am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): you know in this fantasy world where my domesticated komodo dragon doesn't eat me
	9:56am HyperDose: so good
	9:56am Trouble: back off @franco twinkie. no need to get angry at me for calling out the normalization of the crazy man who is running for president
	9:57am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:54 i have not listened to bai for a minute, but i don't think they are what they were 25 yrs ago...democracy now- the better choice
	9:57am emilyh: ↳ Trouble @9:56 thank you
	9:58am emilyh: ↳ Trouble @9:56 i mean, thank you from me, a proudly childless cat lady
	9:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:57 wghich i know you watch
	9:58am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Song: "that's how strong my love is" by "The Youngbloods" Not heard this before. It's beautiful.
	9:58am emilyh: ↳ Rich in Bristol @9:58 i never heard this version either - just favorited it
	9:59am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Guido from Cologne @9:55 amen <3
	10:01am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Trouble @9:56 This is a clear illustration of why leftist like ourselves can't get along. I was merely suggesting that deep reading can quell the legitimate concern we all have. Back to the music....please?
	10:05am Acid Cazh: The capitalist class has been programming all of us, with the intention of making the general populace incapable of deep reading. The best way for them to keep the working class divided is to shrink our attention spans with addictive social media and an amnesiac news cycle, where groundbreaking news is forgotten in a matter of days if not hours.
	10:05am common: ↳ Trouble @9:56 damn straight!
	10:07am wenzo: I did hear Elon Musk has been cloning his ego
	10:07am Handy Haversack: Bring a book: this is about the best advice one can give.
	10:08am Micheal: Space is the Place for billionaires.
	10:08am Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:57 In Los Angeles we have KPFK - sister station to WBAI. Granted, their are lots of new age crack-pots mixed in with the voices of reason, it can't be dismissed.
	10:08am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Trouble @9:56 Trouble, the orange clown has gotten a free pass from the press for years. For all his lies and shenanigans. Odd how, now the Biden is outta the running, age is no longer an issue. I do have an [adult] child, but I'm also a cat dad.
	10:09am StringOFperils: Maybe, just possibly, the broad swathe of news readership is already aware of the fact that DT is insane, and that truisms that carry headlines seem crazy themselves. One of the first things journalists claimed 5 years ago was that they had no idea how to cover the guy in the media, because it was all so blatantly f***I up from the get-go, with no cover-ups or remorse or even guile. He’s something new; he’s a no-brow, ha ha ha.
	10:10am Artie: Musk has never been to space, though his ego and buffoonery may well be visible from orbit.
	10:11am Zip7: I feel like the quality of Times columnists has really declined since the days of Frank Rich. Bruni, Bouie, Goldberg and Krugman are good, but Pamela Paul?! Always liked Gail Collins, but she doesn't seem that interested anymore. Douthat is certifiable, though I know they need a token rightwinger
	10:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Trouble @9:56 i think harris is a pretty much 'business as usual' politician ie. support for military industrial complex, lukewarm reception of immigration when they are shoring up economy, plus other missed opportunities in the dumb-bait ...many other things ie. gaza...she's no bargain...not saying you're doing this' but there's no need to normalize her either...
	10:11am Juli P: Freaks & enchanted Unite!
	10:11am Artie: My main hold on hope for November is that just enough voters will decide that they don't want to endure four more years of that tired act. And it might just work out that way.
	10:11am Toothgrinder Tom: @StringOfPerils I for one was happy to hear the moderators fact check in real time some of the more outrageous and bilious nonsense spilling from one of the debate participants’ lips.
	10:12am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:05 I barely finished high school, yet I choose to dig for truth in the piles of trash out there. Why can't other people?
	10:12am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Handy Haversack @10:07 ^^^^ !!! ^^^^
	10:12am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Zip7 @10:11 Ah yes, Ross Douthat, who mourned the passing of WASPs.
	10:13am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "vulnerable" by "Nicole Mitchell and Ballaké Sissoko" I've been selling a lot of records I don't listen to any more to make room on my record shelves for new stuff. Like this!
	10:13am Fred and Alan: Peter love from Fred and Alan
	10:15am Artie: While I want the whole policy enchilada, honestly, just preventing the alternative and keeping us marginally on track towards addressing climate change would seem like a massive win. We'll continue fighting for the rest once this battle is won.
	10:15am emilyh: all i can think of now is whitey on the moon
	10:16am rebuketodali: Good morning from cloudy Florida, where I am reading about postmillennial thought in 19th-C America, which explains so much of why we're in this mess.
	10:16am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:08 maybe i'll try kpfk...
	10:16am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:13 Ah, looking at the bandcamp, too bad this is only digital and CD, otherwise I'd snatch up a copy. Maybe I'll get the CD anyway, it's beautiful. And also I see that Nicole Mitchell lives in North Carolina now which would explain why I haven't seen her around Chicago much lately.
	10:17am emilyh: ↳ Zip7 @10:11 agreed about the nyt
	10:17am melinda: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:11 I agree re: Harris
	10:17am Toothgrinder Tom: @Artie remember, whoever wins the election gets to appoint judges as well.
	10:18am rebuketodali: Thanks for this Rebecca Horn image, Trouble. RIP.
	10:18am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:05 Deep reading, yes. I was talking to somebody the other day who said they started reading Moby Dick but put it down because they couldn't take the slow pace and long discursive passages. Actually I know several people who have confessed to me that they can't read books anymore because they are used to having text broken down into small easily-digested bits. The "attention economy" has wrecked deep reading for a lot of folks.
	10:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ melinda @10:17 there may be cards in her deck she's not showing.... but it's all she's shown so far
	10:19am melinda: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:18 I've heard this too about reading. Sad.
	10:20am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Fred and Alan @10:13 Good morning Fred and Alan. Sorry I missed you on Wake. How's Alan's eye?
	10:22am StringOFperils: The Presidency is not a pretty job. Whoever it is will sanction reprehensible deeds; foreign policy can’t help but be an endless flying shit-show. And things at home are hobbled in Congress. Terrible things happened on President Obama’s watch, just as they have, and will, during any incumbent’s regime. Kamala Harris will get ripped to shreds by her detractors, but at least she isn’t visibly a pathological menace to everyone. The other camp will flatly disagree, of course. They’re gagging for an empire of crime.
	10:22am Juli P: WE must change in society: How can we each make a difference?! By personal habits alike w large change
	10:23am Juli P: Lead by example & will
	10:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Zip7 @10:11 masha gessen also...used to follow krugman, but started to feel his focus was narrow and he was repeating himself and sometimes felt his opinion lacked courage
	10:25am Handy Haversack: In better news, Radio does not have heartworms! So once we clear up this pink eye, we should be looking good. Though he's beggaring us with how much food he's eating still.
	10:26am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyy there.
	10:27am Zip7: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:24 My favorite columnist is Alexandra Petri in Washington Post -- she is brilliant and hilarious
	10:28am Adrian in London: Good afternoon/morning, Trouble and troublees. Breaking off from watching loopy 1974 film Identikit with Elizabeth Taylor to listen in.
	10:29am Trouble: hola @ adrian!
	10:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @10:22 i think its possible to have the two views at the same time...recognize her sanity and being the only sane candidate and look at her clear eyed you're right it is a dirty job...
	10:30am Acid Cazh: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:18 Personally, I stopped using Twitter/Facebook/etc, and have dramatically reduced my time on Reddit. Instead, I read three longform news emails a day (New York Times, Morning Brew, Letters From an American). I use Bluesky and Mastodon some, but the non-algorithmic chronological feed means that I pop in and see new posts, then close the app after 90 to 240 seconds and then go on with my day. I plunked down money for a subscription to The Paris Review and read that alongside one other literary journal (currently POETRY Magazine, which I am about to swap out with Beloit Poetry Journal). My brain is happier, my focus is more focused.
	10:30am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Zip7 @10:27 thanks ...i'm writing that down...
	10:30am Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:25 Yay for Radio's good health! 🥂
	10:32am StringOFperils: That’s the thing with democracy. You have to entertain many conflicting ideas at the same time. Begrudging consensus is the only way to move the country forward. Nobody gets to be a big selfish stubborn baby.
	10:34am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Magical Connection" by "gabor szabo" Catching a vibe over here!
	10:34am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:30 I glance at The Guardian. I subscribe to The Baffler and Jacobin and Salvage. I think I'm going to let Jacobin lapse, though. Salvage ... well, it's a nonprofit communist cooperative, but it would be nice if they published a little more often. And I decided to support Hellgate, a local, worker-owned NYC-focused web publication. No social media. No spyphone.
	10:34am common: ↳ Adrian in London @10:28 that film is insane!
	10:36am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:30 Yes, I think it's possible to reverse the damage. A few years ago I felt my attention getting fragmented, and detached from the online world (mostly). I sat down and read "Memoirs from Beyond the Tomb" by Chateaubriand (1768-1848), a few thousand pages, and got deeply into history and French literature. I also have subscriptions to the New York and London Review of Books. It's so much better that way, reading carefully edited pieces by informed people, instead of hot takes from random people.
	10:36am Zip7: ↳ StringOFperils @10:32 > Nobody gets to be a big selfish stubborn baby. My wife said something like this to me the other night. Now she refers to me as Farouk when I behave this way: "Are we getting a visit from Farouk?"
	10:36am Acid Cazh: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:34 Yes, but you've never had a cell phone. As a result I feel like your brain has a great deal of built-in immunity to the whole attention crisis.
	10:38am StringOFperils: Ha ha ha, zip!
	10:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:36 I've never even had a brain! They'll never take what doesn't exist!
	10:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and people of interest!
	10:41am Mxter Baba: Sliding in after KFHP with a howdy to Trouble and Troublers all. These sounds are pretty.
	10:42am Ochre Ogre: Bonjour Trouble!
	10:43am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @10:32 i helped with the staging for a bill clinton appearance at brooklyn college....first thing, approaching the building, snipers were visible on roofs surrounding the college...inside there was lots curtaining. i was struck the choice of color being so studied and mediocre at the same time...it might as well had been grey... on the stage two large projection screens flanked the podium...they tested the video and two images of the starship enterprise gliding through space appeared on there screens.... all the while the staging management were trying to keep a transgendered crew member hidden from feds
	10:44am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:18 I like this article: ismatu.substack.com... "you’ve been traumatized into hating reading (and it makes you easier to oppress)." by Ismatu Gwendolyn
	10:44am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:36 You can carry a cell phone without having social media apps on it. I use mine for phone calls, SMS messaging, playing WFMU via VLC, and photography. Oh and also paying for parking since Chicago uses an app for that... that's about all I do with it. Not having the phone would just be an inconvenience, especially when I have to park the car.
	10:44am Charles in Chicago: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:44 Damn
	10:45am climate_ctrl: Lovely
	10:46am melinda: ↳ Acid Cazh @10:36 Personally I feel screens/internet generally are the problem. I can easily put away my smartphone (and resent being nudged to use it even more with everything going to apps), but the laptop still beckons.
	10:48am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:44 reading this inspired me to focus on reading more this year. i remember as a teenager being in the camp of punks who thought tv was melting hte minds of our peers & parents, but now smart phones are doing the same thing. and i'm addicted! i'm totally addicted. i feel like i'm cheating on life while i have an affair with my screen. i joined a virtual book club recently to get more hype/have more accountability around actually finishing books again... but it feels good to be back. it's kind of existential 😵‍💫
	10:49am StringOFperils: Nothing more surreal than politicking, Tom Tom.
	10:49am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @10:49 word...

	10:52am Handy Haversack: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:48 Someone from Internet Addicts Anonymous was on Techtonic some months back. Might be worth a listen? www.wfmu.org... At least one WFMU listener expresses a lot of gratitude toward that organization.
	10:53am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: Heads up there is a red tailed hawk outside my kitchen window, short friends stay home it's not safe to come over today!

	10:54am Rich in Bristol: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" First time I heard this song was on Jesse's Polyglot show. Still gets me right in the heart.
	10:54am StringOFperils: Stain remover.
	10:55am Joey!: I heard this for the first time on the Hearts of Space show. Always loved it!
	10:55am Steve Del Sol: ↳ StringOFperils @10:54 That's what I thought.
	10:57am iiibeat: I just wanna share the poem I wrote while listening. Thank You for the structural support, DJ Trouble!
	10:57am Zip7: ↳ NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA @10:50 Yes. Bryars said when he was producing this, it stopped people in their tracks and produced an emotional response in all
	10:57am iiibeat: (Jade) Hands Again (Shade) As the years pass, (draw) open to establishing precedent. Yellow wildflowers reach like yogis determined in diffusive flow. Pain logs for temperament, not discoloring range of motion. Standing cloud in love with breath. Streaming standard, wave form hand. Travelling all together in music to ascend. Mountain page eagle blanket. Soaring rabbit top-hat grab. In rolling spirals thunder interpretation. Cracked into temperature blend. From normal residues of logic stranded and threaded sand. Power (why are they like that?) turned a false corner. As finger touches hand, lung and hair. My neighbor found a repetitive (country) automotive photograph and jumped a bit, inside. From swelling (look a horse in the mouth) tangles did smooth window fall. Climbing through decades. Winding up in weird dreams. Happy smear (double) cake through! Which smacks of lethal arrogance in moon eel hallways.
	10:58am JReganK: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:43 Hey, Tom. Sounds like you could be describing a dream.
	10:58am King Adam: only love ....... what's he singing?
	10:58am Carmen: Oooh this song is bringing up so many feelings. Want to cry, maybe I will
	10:59am JReganK: ↳ King Adam @10:58 "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me, Yet".
	10:59am Charles in Chicago: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:48 There are just so many great books out there. I just finished Julian Barnes "Nothing to Be Afraid Of", an extended meditation on the fear of death. Before that I read a bunch of Alexander Hemon. Then there's the classics... Stendahl, Flaubert, etc... once you dive in it's hard to stop!
	10:59am Ochre Ogre: ↳ Trouble @9:36 YES! Me too. Lawerence O'Donnell did a good piece on how the NY Times ignores his senseless twisted mania: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFd4zflqfeA&list=LL&index=2
	10:59am mlsgrrl: I know we're on a string about too much internet, but I just had to know: en.wikipedia.org...
	11:00am King Adam: yes but after only love? thank you so much Trouble my heart needed this
	11:00am rebuketodali: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" This is my first time hearing this. My god...

	11:00am JReganK: ↳ rebuketodali @11:00 This got heavy rotation on the station some years back.
	11:01am emilyh: ↳ traven @11:00 no.

	11:03am Meesalikeu: reminds me of suicide dream baby dream
	11:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" Real, real good.
	11:03am StringOFperils: I never knew that this was the old tramp’s own improvised song, and not an old Anglican hymn. Apparently Bryars and others couldn’t find any traces of it anywhere; and the fellow himself was gone into time…so it’s origins seem to be with the old man.
	11:04am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:59 I have an obsessive tendency to gobble up all the work of one artist/musician/director/actor.... so I've been reading Ursula Le Guin lately. Starting with the Earthsea books (which I've read -er, listened to before). Earthsea is like the comfort food of books for me atm
	11:04am therblig: This is one of those pieces of music that makes you regret you can only hear it for the first time once. It never loses its power to move the soul, but the impact of that first time is indescribably beautiful.

	11:04am King Adam: @NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA thanks! I love it!
	11:04am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Steve Del Sol @11:01 Interesting, I'll check it out. And you should check out the Barnes, it's one of the best things I've ever read... so many great quotations from many different writers and philosophers
	11:04am StringOFperils: Spellcheck. What rubbish. It even wrecks grammar.

	11:05am Charles in Chicago: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @11:04 Me too, I recently read ALL of Alexander Hemon's work. I grew up with LeGuin and she's still great. Have you seen her "translation" of the Tao Te Ching?
	11:05am Beguiling Mysophilia: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" This one reminds me of pronoia and a ham report I read at the end of August.

	11:11am Mxter Baba: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:52 and thanks, Handy—taint no shame in seeking help. I’ve pretty much consolidated most of my internet time to the WFMU chats. This is my only social media, and quite often where I get my breaking news.

	11:12am Ochre Ogre: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:11 Cheers Handy!
	11:12am disco_nap_: ↳ disco_nap_ @11:11 Also, here's a book: The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...
	11:14am King Adam: @Carmen me too
	11:14am Listener John from NJ: ↳ Song: "jesus blood never failed yet" by "gavin bryars" There was a version with Yom Waits; it was on a release called "Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet." I think that "Jesus' Blood" was the only piece on it, running for 40 or 50 minutes or more. If my memory serves me well. Also, there was a short "single version" with TW on it.
	11:14am Mxter Baba: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:44 A therapist I worked with said that when one is in a hypervigilant traumatized condidion, one cannot drop into the extended focus needed to read a book. I knew I was helaing when I finished a novel for the first time in years. Now my medicine is reading for pleasure. And sending snail mail written in cursive!
	11:16am disco_nap_: ↳ Mxter Baba @11:14 Wow that really hits.
	11:16am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Floating Sunset ( feat cavana lee & laraaji)" by ... Autoharp Alert!
	11:17am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Mxter Baba @11:14 Praise Jambi! 🧞
	11:18am Ochre Ogre: ↳ disco_nap_ @11:10 Thanks! And this one, a recent Mrs Betty Bowers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhIlH_iW0xQ&list=LL&index=6&t=923s
	11:18am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Mxter Baba @11:14 oh i'm sure. yesterday i was reading in a newsletter that apparently slowly turning your head from side to side can help relax your nervous system/restore a sense of safety. when we are anxious/stressed apparently our eyes dart around. it seems important to prepare the space (whether its a cozy chair or the body you're living in) before sitting down to focus
	11:19am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Mxter Baba @11:14 + resonate with reading as medicine. when i can sit and focus for a while on my tattered paperback i feel ... someting.. healing
	11:19am Ochre Ogre: ↳ StringOFperils @11:12 Indeed!
	11:19am Mxter Baba: ↳ disco_nap_ @11:16 It was an eye opener for me. And though I’ll always love my nonfiction, my reading for pleasure must be fiction—YA stuff is the best!
	11:20am Mxter Baba: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:17 Mekka lekka HI! Your wish will be granted!
	11:23am Ochre Ogre: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:11 It is disturbing, the "sane washing."
	11:23am Mxter Baba: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @11:18 oh, those are great tips, thanks! makes so much sense to activate the “rest and digest” state now and then, eh?
	11:24am Listener John from NJ: Is there something wrong with me? I hear the Gavin Bryars piece and have no emotional reaction at all. Not even the first time I heard it. Of course, I have many things wrong with me, but this is a new one,
	11:25am Mxter Baba: ↳ Listener John from NJ @11:24 it takes all kinds
	11:28am Zip7: Graduate school ruined my ability to read for pleasure for years. A thousand-plus pages a week of turgid academic prose where "backward run the sentences until reels the mind" . . . you read the intro, conclusion and skim the rest. But I still found time to settle down with a nice "Classics Illustrated."
	11:30am traven: There's nothing wrong with you at all.
	11:31am Miketp: Hiya trouble.checking in from DUNDEE OR..
	11:33am Ochre Ogre: ↳ disco_nap_ @11:12 Alrighty then! Will read this.
	11:34am Yair Yona: Hi Trouble. hello everyone. I played with Roland P Young once with my exp band Farthest South. Fun times
	11:34am WoodsOfMaine: Re: anxiety. My doctor suggested mindfulness training. So I did a little digging and came across a Harvard Health article that described a form of meditation that to me seems a lot like TM. You pick a word/phrase to be repeated, close your eyes, relax, and silently repeat. I now do this twice a day for 20 minutes and have been shocked at how effective it is. Gives me the same feeling I used to get when trying the Andrew Weil breathing technique.
	11:37am Barney Grubbs: I occasionally have had to go to awards banquets for chemists & we started playing the "drink every time they say 'seminal' in the award citation" game. A colleague suggested that "germinal" or "pioneering" would be better (and also healthier for our aging livers).
	11:37am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Listener John from NJ @11:24 Up until today, I’d only heard the one (original?) with the hobo recording…and then Tom Waits comes in near the end. I found it quite affecting. But hey, sometimes things just don’t resonate.
	11:37am Webhamster Henry: City Of God! a Brazil very unlike Black Orpheus'.
	11:38am Stanley: What great chat I'm following today. So much resonates with me. Baba - I very connected with what you said about the extended focus needed to read a book. I'm coming out of a bad period and have noticed I no longer had the attention ability to read books, so gave up on them. Today I thought of buying a book I'm interested in. (Moon Zappa's autobiography - mixed reviews but I thought, hey, I'll make my own mind up on this)
	11:38am Ochre Ogre: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:34 Interesting, so there is no co$t? With TM there is substantial payment required.
	11:39am Webhamster Henry: Waste Land on Kanopy: www.kanopy.com...
	11:41am Trouble: @yair yona: isnt roland a fabulous guy? very sweet
	11:41am Stanley: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:34 Woods - I'm very happy to hear that. I've taken up walking meditation, since moving to the country and that, too, I feel is helping me.
	11:43am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): great show today trouble thank you
	11:43am Webhamster Henry: This Swingin' Brazilian World!
	11:44am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "reza" by "the sergio mendes trio" RIP, Sergio.
	11:45am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Ochre Ogre @11:38 None. I’d done enough reading on TM…and there’s some disagreement about whether the cost is actually worth it. I dunno. I just gave it a shot. The only trick was that I ended up picking up a Sanscrit mantra because I just could not get English words to not generate more discursive thought.
	11:46am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Stanley @11:41 I live in the country as well so yes, it sort of fits, eh?
	11:46am Billybob: Dems never liked Kamala. They just hate Trump more. When I saw how she was rolled out in July, all I heard was "Welcome to the Machine". That's all she is, a figurehead for the Dem machine. At least Trump has campaigned and campaigned for his support. He's endured investigations, impeachments, lawsuits and even a bullet. People genuinely like him. Kamala's done nothing, yet somehow, he's the "threat to democracy". Good luck to us all if Kamala wins in November.
	11:47am WoodsOfMaine: Welcome to lame cliche day.
	11:47am listener james from westwood: One of the biggest gifts my mom gave me was to play her copy of THE big Brasil '66 record when I was wee. And to let me play the album once I could be trusted with a tone arm! Ensured I'd always be cheered and cheerful later in life when hearing Mendes and his crew.
	11:47am Stanley: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:46 Sure and you also get (in my case much needed) excercise, too.
	11:49am Ochre Ogre: ↳ Stanley @11:38 I feel you. I can tear through a book if it's something of real interest to me. Also, always intriguing buddha mindfulness.
	11:49am StringOFperils: I’m off to the back recesses of a local cemetery to practice mindfulness on my guitar. It’s great because all the sources of angst are underneath the lawn, no doubt behaving themselves better than they did in life. Haven’t had any complaints yet. Thanks for the radio show! Be well!
	11:50am Michael C St Lou: Really enjoying the show and the chat, lurking while working. Thank you Trouble and all! and yes, they have proven that wresting is fake
	11:51am traven: ↳ Billybob @11:46 Kamala Harris sure talks a good game, no doubt about that. However, this voter would be highly interested on just how she stands on the issues.
	11:55am Michael C St Lou: ↳ Michael C St Lou @11:50 on television that is, at least thats what i saw on tv
	11:55am Trouble: here you go @ traven kamalaharris.com...
	11:56am disco_nap_: Thank you, Trouble! And Troublemakers! <3
	11:56am Billybob: ↳ traven @11:51 We were supposed to find out on Tuesday, but that didn't really happen. She seemed more interested in getting Trump. And he let her, so he's culpable, too.
	11:57am WoodsOfMaine: Great show Trouble, as usual!
	11:57am Triple G: Thanks Trouble!
	11:57am traven: ↳ Trouble @11:55 I thank you, dear lady. Rest assured I will carefully examine her platform.
	11:58am tom tom the pipers son: thanks trouble....
	11:58am Acid Cazh: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:36 Sorry I dropped off for a bit there everyone, my work morning got HECTIC. But I've been listening and loving it as always Trouble, thanks for another incredible show — see you next week!
	11:58am Ochre Ogre: ↳ Billybob @11:46 Nothin to do with luck. More like a leader that is sensible, levelheaded, decent, LAW-ABIDING and has a sense of humor.
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Trouble. Have a good week.
	11:58am listener james from westwood: Thanks a ton, Trouble!
	11:59am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Ochre Ogre @11:58 Imagine that…law-abiding. Refreshing.
	11:59am chresti: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Ochre Ogre: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Stanley: Thank you Trouble. Everone.
	11:59am JReganK: Thnx, Trouble!
	12:00pm Zip7: Good luck with class prep, Trouble! It's like writing a book!
	12:00pm Artie: Thanks, Trouble!
	12:04pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ Michael C St Lou @11:55 Ha! Good one, I get it.
