	9:31am Kpx: Free humidity soup for everyone.

	♥ 9:38am YETI BOB: Kevin - she made 2 records in the 2010's but I haven't heard either of them
	9:40am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Thanks YB. She always brings Vashti Bunyan to mind, who also had a bit of a career revival in the 2010s. Will have to check out those records
	♥ 9:40am listener james from westwood: Glad Perhacs was with us to see her earlier record find new audiences. Sad that Judee Sill didn't get that chance.
	9:41am Irene: YETI BOB, both of Linda’s recent albums are surprisingly good. So glad I saw her perform in Brooklyn after the first of those was released.
	♥ 9:45am Anton: Good Arthur Russell for the sun breaking through the clouds this morning
	9:54am GiB: sounds like Richard and Linda
	♥ 9:57am dave wuz here: my hangover gives this show 2 thumbs up
	9:57am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: GiB - I know what you mean. Could have been on Bright Lights. Linda T has a much stronger voice though
	♥ 9:58am winston legthigh: thanks trouble, gotta run. good day to all.
	♥ 9:59am PaulRobeson1920: Same here Winston! Peace out Thank you, Trouble. Great music & a lovely show!

	10:03am UncleMarty: Hi T ... great set
	10:03am H P Jackson: Thoughts and prayers to all those 15,000 Americans that are still in Afghanistan
	10:04am Lucky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5000_Years
	10:07am KWilde: Graeber conversation with Eno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuBpOXGLn_o
	10:07am H P Jackson: Those who are against the Taliban and women who do not wear burqas are to be beheaded
	♥ 10:07am Handy Haversack: Thanks for that mic break, Trouble. I have to go get the water sample. Back soon!
	♥ 10:08am PaulRobeson1920: Debt Obligation replaced older colonial obligations… Good morning Haiti! & good morning, Jamaica! Jamaica was the most brutal of all the Sugar Colonies…. Hey if you are interested check out Paul Robeson writing about Vietnam and Haiti in the 1950’s. “Ho Chi Minh is the Toussaint L’Ouverture of Indo-China” March 1954
	♥ 10:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Good luck, Handy. I'm guessing "salty."
	10:08am Armed and Legged: You can bet that the assignation of Haiti's prez Moise was American Mossad sponsored for his refusal to go-along with the Covid propaganda as also happened to the presidents of Tanzania, Ivory Coast, Eswatini (Swaziland) and Burundi.
	10:09am displayedname: this is a good one
	10:09am H P Jackson: Seems like the current leadership in Washington has pretty much given up on the debacle in Afghanistan. 15,000 Americans lives are at stake
	♥ 10:09am βrian: "Assignation." [Hee hee.]
	♥ 10:09am PaulRobeson1920: All mankind are Brothers Plighted
	10:10am JT: black jacobins ... c l r james. recommended.
	10:13am Armed and Legged: Opps "assignation" Fruedian slip or spellcheck trip?).
	10:13am sphere: This Dilloway/Dalt track is almost pop music (for Dilloway at least).
	♥ 10:14am Jason from Houston: ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
	10:14am H P Jackson: Meanwhile the state department, the intelligence community and the military are all pointing fingers at each other.
	♥ 10:14am Jason from Houston: Good morning, good folks.
	10:14am Armed and Legged: With the money spent in Afghanistan we could have free college education and free health care. Any clue who's idea it REALLY was to Afghanistan? (hint, it's real close to Iran who refuses world banker domination.)
	♥ 10:15am PaulRobeson1920: Our Spaceship Earth (Bucky Fuller Concept) is only 8,000 miles across. We now have the ability to invest in Livingly as opposed to Killingry. We value life and our shared humanity more than honor or abstractions. Going forward, livingry is the path. I sware it’s not too late “War Is A Racket” Major General Smedley D. Butler
	♥ 10:15am Anton: Wonderful cover of Right! Loving the show trouble
	♥ 10:16am Trouble: merci@anton!
	♥ 10:16am Trouble: this album is full of great bowie covers...
	10:16am H P Jackson: @Armed. Basically what you’re saying now is irrelevant. Our leaders need to figure out how to get 15,000 Americans out of harms way and out of Afghanistan
	♥ 10:16am Little Danny: Good morning Trouble, hi all.
	10:17am sphere: @ Armed and Legged - "world banker domination" & "COVID propaganda"? Sounds like you are into conspiracy theories.
	♥ 10:17am Anton: I’ve never come across it! I’ll have to find it! Thanks for the rec!
	10:18am ?: Good morning! I love the title of your show. I saw these guys live outdoors once. It was fun.
	10:18am Armed and Legged: @HP not quite, 350 million Americans need to figure out how to regain control of their OWN country from a ruling oligarchic cabal
	♥ 10:18am Zinn The Mood: Black Jacobins one of Christopher Hitchens favorite books. Highly recommend seeing the Raoul Peck 4 part series film “Exterminate All the Brutes.” Goes into very many things re: the inextricable ties between imperialism and the need for racism to justify it. But the complete erasure from history of the magnificently successful slave revolt in Haiti leading to first great free republic of black people (around the same time as the American Revolution) is another unsavory piece of the propaganda doctrine of American Exceptionalism. Again, a purposeful denying of history to hold up the doctrine myth of white supremacy necessary to the slave-holding South and the merchant ties in the North.
	♥ 10:19am PaulRobeson1920: How do we create a loving society? Is the question that needs to be at the forefront. Yeah please, be more specific. But I caution you @sphere “never argue with a fool because some people won’t be able to tell the difference” or trollz don’t feed them trools
	10:19am Marie: ?=me (I mean today's show title in particular) @)
	10:20am Armed and Legged: @Anton, troll or ignorant, that old smear is not working anymore.
	♥ 10:20am Phillippe: Good morning
	♥ 10:20am TDK60: Good morning, Trouble.
	10:21am H P Jackson: Our leadership in Washington is an epic failure
	♥ 10:21am Anton: @Armed I was talking about an album of Bowie covers trouble just recommended in the chat. I’m reading but not participating in the Afghanistan discussion
	10:23am Armed and Legged: Thanks DJ Trouble for the clue about the Bowie Covers on Khruangbin will listen to them all.
	10:24am Armed and Legged: My apologies Anton, am very sorry, was directing that to "Sphere"
	10:24am Stan: Brutal white male patriarchy--how I recently heard the US and its history described. Wasn't Britain the main perpetrator or slavery and colonialism?
	10:26am sphere: @ Armed and Legged - I don't agree.
	10:27am Armed and Legged: Slavery is as old as human life, Ancient Egypt was a slave economy, think pyramid labor. And before that the Old Testament described it as normal.
	♥ 10:28am PaulRobeson1920: Going forward, investing in Livingry, there can be no failure only feedback. It’s similar to creating/designing a loving lightbulb filament for all men and women. Each attempt you learn something toward the goal- a Loving Society is achievable and a worthy goal.
	♥ 10:29am PaulRobeson1920: On that note! Peace & Love Ya’ll! I LOVE WFMU! And be well! Imagine Genuine Peace
	10:31am Stan: Yeah, I know slavery is very old but I think that since the 1500s or so, Britain has been the main country doing it. And that seems driven by their elite's self-aggrandizement. That was a recent realization on my part.
	10:32am Armed and Legged: It was the Belgians who taught the British how to trade slaves.
	10:34am Stan: Re: the Belgians--mm hm, but they did not export it at the scale of Britain, right? Lovely music, Trouble.
	♥ 10:35am TDK60: I'm with C.L.R. James and other freedom fighters.
	10:36am Adrian in London: Hi Trouble x
	♥ 10:38am oshiwoshi: +1 for Black Jacobins
	♥ 10:38am Listener Gregory: I keep forgetting to install lanes, but this song is definitely reminding me. Thanks.
	♥ 10:40am Listener Gregory: HA! Pls ignore last comment. I had just switched radios and was tuned in to a different show playing a tape loop.
	10:40am Armed and Legged: @Stan "the Spanish began to bring slaves from Africa to Hispaniola around 1500. This established a new pattern of slavery: slaves from Africa were forcibly taken to the plantations of the Americas. This pattern endured for 350 years: on the vast plantations in the New World, sugar, tobacco, cotton, and coffee were grown, as global commodities, by slaves" https://www.thegreatcoursesdaily.com/the-slave-trade-from-europe-to-the-americas/
	10:44am emily: so beautiful
	♥ 10:45am Handy Haversack: And back. Given the rain overnight, Ken, water quality is likely in the "poopy" range.
	10:45am Stan: @Armed&Legged--great sourcing; I need to read more about the history of slavery but I still believe that does not disprove my assertion of the proportion scale of the role of Britain and the British--and aside from that, weren't many of the original slaveholders in the colonies and the US from England?
	♥ 10:48am Zinn The Mood: I’m deeply skeptical of how the disparaging term “conspiracy theory” is so casually thrown around. It’s designed to shut down conversation and implicate the person accused as come kind of zany or misinformed hoaxer. And it’s origins are with the CIA, who came up with the term specially to delegitimize those who challenged the official narrative of how JFK (and MLK?) were assassinated. I’m finding that an immense uptick in the past few years of its use by the MSM and your average Neoliberal CNN/MSNBC viewer, about everything to to disparaging Bernie to skeptics of the RussiaGate farce to the defense of the garbage political ideology of “incrementalism” etc. Copernicus was a conspiracy theorist in his day. Until it was universally agreed upon that the Earth rotates around the sun and not the other way around. The abolitionists who fought against the criminal evil of those who rationalized slavery based on a philosophy of blacks being lesser human beings were sort of conspiracy theorists of their day. The many of us who said that the Gulf of Tonkin was a lie, that Iraqi WMD’s were a lie, that the anti war and black liberation movements were being targeted and spied upon by the FBI, etc etc were “conspiracy theorists.” Until they were all proven right.
	♥ 10:51am popchop: Exited to discover your show!
	♥ 10:52am Anton: Such a chill mash up!
	10:54am Armed and Legged: 'Final Judgement' (the most-ever banned book) describes in detail and fact the truth behind the JFK murder. It names names too.
	10:55am sphere: @ Zinn - The term "conspiracy theory" may shut down inquiry in some cases. but it totally fits irrational patterns of fake cause and effect. Have you ever been to Comet Ping-Pong Pizza in DC? A bunch of 4chan types turned it into the center of Pizzagate, which was totally fake. So a guy armed with a rifle walks into Comet Ping-Pong demanding to see the women held in the absent. Guess what Zinn, Comet Ping-Pong has no basement. I think "conspiracy theory" is still a useful term.
	10:57am Armed and Legged: @sphere Zinn is 100% correct. Calling someone a 'conspiracy theorist' is no substitute for doing your own hard work of study and critical thinking. It only shows-off one's low intellect.
	10:57am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Stan, I don't know how many slaves were brought to the Americas by traders from the various nations involved, but at least until 1808 (see the Wikipedia article called Slavery in Britain, section 10 on abolition for why that date is important) the British were certainly very big players, perhaps the biggest. I would speculate that is because it was a triangular trade - slaves from west Africa to the Caribbean and the US, sugar and cotton from there to Europe and manufactured goods from Europe and especially Britain to the empire. See section 8.1 in that article for more about the nature of that trade. Not a surprise - at the time British industrial and naval power were significant. There is a big argument for reparations to be paid by many very rich people today whose wealth derives from ancestors who profited from the trade.
	♥ 11:02am tim from washington: Hey Trouble and peoples!
	♥ 11:04am Carmichael: Heya Trouble. If no one minds, I'll stay in the shallow end of the conversation.
	♥ 11:05am Listener Gregory: "Conspiracy theory" may be thrown around too easily, but I don't think it's correct to say that Copernicus had a conspiracy theory at the time. Copernicus's theory was about astronomy. Conspiracy theories are about people and organizations, all of which are secretly arrayed against us, contrary to what most people believe.
	♥ 11:05am Greg from ZONE 5: The reason I'm often happy with my personal work and seldom happy with my day job is that my personal work allows plenty of time for failure.
	♥ 11:08am tim from washington: "Failing is always an option." Don't i know it! I'm really, really good at failing - hahaha.
	♥ 11:09am ChukAmok: @Sphere Comet Ping Pong might not have a basement (they don't), but the pizza is delicious! Good shows there too.
	11:09am Armed and Legged: @Carmichael, with that El Dorado fire you might want to mosey down to the deep end for safety. Is El Dorado Hills threatened?
	♥ 11:09am PaulRobeson1920: “What we have here is, a failure to communicate” - 1967
	11:11am Armed and Legged: @Listener Copernicus was disputing God himself with the heliocentric theory, can't get more "conspiratorial" than that!
	♥ 11:11am ChukAmok: One of the starkest details that resonated while visiting the National Civil Rights Museum was that the Atlantic slave trade was the largest forced migration in history. That museum is definitely worth a visit if ever in Memphis.
	11:13am Kagi: @Stan Portugal was the main player in the Atlantic slave trade in the 16th and 17th centuries; after the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713, Britain got more or less a monopoly.
	♥ 11:13am Carmichael: @Armed, not yet. The fire is on the other side of the county. There are about 5 more nearby, though.
	11:13am headcleaner: the current track is the exact opposite of all this conspiracy talk - and will heal you if you let it
	♥ 11:15am TDK60: Hope you're safe, Carm. I heard a report today that there are 13 /major/ fires in California right now.
	♥ 11:16am ChukAmok: That might seem obvious at first thought, but when it's written on the wall in large capital letters it has the same impact as a punch to the gut.
	♥ 11:16am Listener Gregory: @Armed and Legged, The universe is God's conspiracy... and it IS out to get us.
	11:16am Armed and Legged: @Carmichael OK, just looked at the map. Much further east than I thought and more isolated than I imagined (in location, not size...it's huge)
	11:18am Marie: Ur totally elevating my morning, Trouble. Thanks!!!!
	11:18am headcleaner: mine also
	11:19am Armed and Legged: @Listener I think maybe God is the Universe's idea of a conspiracy that it uses to 'get us' haha. Remember it was God that instructed his chosen to enslave the Gentiles.
	♥ 11:20am tim from washington: Raga Jazz Thursday!
	♥ 11:20am Carmichael: Thanks, TDK. The Dixie Fire is the multi-headed hydra at the moment.
	♥ 11:20am Trouble: merci for saying that@ marie!
	11:21am Elemental Man: best track right here!
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Ugh, stay low, Carmichael.
	11:24am Editor B: Earth. Righteous. Love it. Thank you for expanding my horizons.
	♥ 11:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, Carm. Keep a close eye on your tiki torches.
	♥ 11:25am tim from washington: Stay safe, Carmichael!
	♥ 11:26am jt: Yeah good: The Elements
	♥ 11:28am tim from washington: Has anyone heard Laura Nyro's 'Christmas and the Beads of Sweat? I haven't yet but I'm picking it up the next time I see it. I've seen it at the record stores countless times and had no idea that Alice Coltrane plays on all of side 2.
	♥ 11:28am Jason from Houston: ꒰ ॢ ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ॢ ꒱
	♥ 11:30am jt: Tim- good to know this. Always going back to the well of Alice Coltrane’s music, nice to find it just got deeper.
	11:31am Marie: Hey Trouble, are you big into swimming? I am. I LuRvE it and need it. So therapeutic.
	♥ 11:32am Trouble: yesssss i love swimming @ marie.
	♥ 11:32am tim from washington: @jt - Pick up Santana's 'Welcome' in the dollar bin. There's an incredible Alice Coltrane song as the opening cut. The rest is listen at your own risk. But the Alice cut is IMMENSE.
	11:33am Marco Esquandolas: Ive heard a fair bit of Joe Henderson, but somehow had never heard that before. It was awesome. Thanks Trouble!
	11:33am Armed and Legged: That Joe Henderson track is memorizing. Great job as always DJ Trouble
	11:33am headcleaner: @tim - putting that Laura Nyro on my list
	♥ 11:34am TDK60: Hi Tim, I like that "Welcome" album. Heard, Laura's "Christmas.." but it's been a while.
	♥ 11:38am tim from washington: @TDK60 - I'll give it another listen. I'm not that into Santana but I really, really like his record with Mahavishnu and the record with Alice.
	11:39am Marie: @Trouble--it amazes me how wonderful it can feel and how soothing it is and it is like you can put your whole body into it and release a lot of energy. And it's kind of like flying
	♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Recently saw a couple documentary-type shows about Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. What remarkable lives they led!
	♥ 11:42am Anton: @Marie and @trouble I’ve started going to the neighborhood community pool after work each day. Swimming laps is amazing for exercise but also just so wonderful for decompressing and for mental health. Nice to get out of breath without being drenched in sweat!
	♥ 11:47am Trouble: i agree @ marie
	11:48am Marie: @Anton, good for you, yes, decompressing @)
	♥ 11:49am βrian: Little Human has become obsessed with swimming, so we got a season's membership at an outdoor pool. It's been lovely.
	♥ 11:49am tim from washington: That was a really interesting description of Nite Jewel's research. It seems like loss, mourning and trauma are a big part of the popular zeitgeist right now. For my work I regularly look at descriptions of new fiction and non-fiction popular titles. It seems like so much of it across the genres (ex: cozy fiction - literary) focus on those topics currently. I know art isn't gendered but marketing sure is and most of these books are marketed at women.
	11:53am Bobby: This Domenique Dumont track is fantastic. :)
	11:54am Armed and Legged: WFMU is my personal reward for life approached properly.
	♥ 11:55am βrian: The Continental Subway is waiting at the platform: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:55am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! Very glad to have been here with ears!
	♥ 11:56am TDK60: Thanks y gracias, DJ է.
	♥ 11:57am Trouble: thanks for listening today, see you next week
	11:58am headcleaner: Haven't been swimming in over 2 years. Too many boats and trains (and then walking) from where I live in NYC to get there. And once you're there, it's crowded and you have to wach your stuff and head back early and wait for the ferry, etc.
	♥ 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 11:58am melinda: great show Trub!
	11:58am headcleaner: And then Americans have this thing about wearing clothes when they go swimming... like, what's that about?
	♥ 11:58am tim from washington: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:59am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: This song is lovely Trouble. Thanks for the show today, it gave me a real boost.
	♥ 11:59am Carmichael: I have a pool, so I've been swimming all summer. Getting cooler now, though.
	♥ 11:59am Listener Gregory: Thanks for an excellent show, Trouble.
	11:59am Marco Esquandolas: Thank you Trouble! This show was so good today I almost feel like it's a conspiracy!
	♥ 11:59am D Rok: I love this track so much. What a great note to end on Trouble! Thanks for another great show.
	11:59am Dayffid: thanks Troub!
	♥ 11:59am Handy Haversack: I hear that, headcleaner. I love to swim but feel like I never get to.
	♥ 11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Trouble!
	♥ 11:50am thriftstoreleather: The show today is totally Fire!! My work schedule recently changed, so I have to catch your show in the archive! Great Stuff!

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.

	9:40am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Thanks YB. She always brings Vashti Bunyan to mind, who also had a bit of a career revival in the 2010s. Will have to check out those records
	♥ 9:40am listener james from westwood: Glad Perhacs was with us to see her earlier record find new audiences. Sad that Judee Sill didn't get that chance.
	9:41am Irene: YETI BOB, both of Linda’s recent albums are surprisingly good. So glad I saw her perform in Brooklyn after the first of those was released.
	♥ 9:45am Anton: Good Arthur Russell for the sun breaking through the clouds this morning

	10:03am H P Jackson: Thoughts and prayers to all those 15,000 Americans that are still in Afghanistan
	10:04am Lucky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5000_Years
	10:07am KWilde: Graeber conversation with Eno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuBpOXGLn_o
	10:07am H P Jackson: Those who are against the Taliban and women who do not wear burqas are to be beheaded
	♥ 10:07am Handy Haversack: Thanks for that mic break, Trouble. I have to go get the water sample. Back soon!
	♥ 10:08am PaulRobeson1920: Debt Obligation replaced older colonial obligations… Good morning Haiti! & good morning, Jamaica! Jamaica was the most brutal of all the Sugar Colonies…. Hey if you are interested check out Paul Robeson writing about Vietnam and Haiti in the 1950’s. “Ho Chi Minh is the Toussaint L’Ouverture of Indo-China” March 1954
	♥ 10:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Good luck, Handy. I'm guessing "salty."
	10:08am Armed and Legged: You can bet that the assignation of Haiti's prez Moise was American Mossad sponsored for his refusal to go-along with the Covid propaganda as also happened to the presidents of Tanzania, Ivory Coast, Eswatini (Swaziland) and Burundi.
	10:09am displayedname: this is a good one
	10:09am H P Jackson: Seems like the current leadership in Washington has pretty much given up on the debacle in Afghanistan. 15,000 Americans lives are at stake
	♥ 10:09am βrian: "Assignation." [Hee hee.]
	♥ 10:09am PaulRobeson1920: All mankind are Brothers Plighted
	10:10am JT: black jacobins ... c l r james. recommended.
	10:13am Armed and Legged: Opps "assignation" Fruedian slip or spellcheck trip?).
	10:13am sphere: This Dilloway/Dalt track is almost pop music (for Dilloway at least).
	♥ 10:14am Jason from Houston: ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
	10:14am H P Jackson: Meanwhile the state department, the intelligence community and the military are all pointing fingers at each other.
	♥ 10:14am Jason from Houston: Good morning, good folks.
	10:14am Armed and Legged: With the money spent in Afghanistan we could have free college education and free health care. Any clue who's idea it REALLY was to Afghanistan? (hint, it's real close to Iran who refuses world banker domination.)
	♥ 10:15am PaulRobeson1920: Our Spaceship Earth (Bucky Fuller Concept) is only 8,000 miles across. We now have the ability to invest in Livingly as opposed to Killingry. We value life and our shared humanity more than honor or abstractions. Going forward, livingry is the path. I sware it’s not too late “War Is A Racket” Major General Smedley D. Butler
	♥ 10:15am Anton: Wonderful cover of Right! Loving the show trouble
	♥ 10:16am Trouble: merci@anton!
	♥ 10:16am Trouble: this album is full of great bowie covers...
	10:16am H P Jackson: @Armed. Basically what you’re saying now is irrelevant. Our leaders need to figure out how to get 15,000 Americans out of harms way and out of Afghanistan
	♥ 10:16am Little Danny: Good morning Trouble, hi all.
	10:17am sphere: @ Armed and Legged - "world banker domination" & "COVID propaganda"? Sounds like you are into conspiracy theories.
	♥ 10:17am Anton: I’ve never come across it! I’ll have to find it! Thanks for the rec!
	10:18am ?: Good morning! I love the title of your show. I saw these guys live outdoors once. It was fun.
	10:18am Armed and Legged: @HP not quite, 350 million Americans need to figure out how to regain control of their OWN country from a ruling oligarchic cabal
	♥ 10:18am Zinn The Mood: Black Jacobins one of Christopher Hitchens favorite books. Highly recommend seeing the Raoul Peck 4 part series film “Exterminate All the Brutes.” Goes into very many things re: the inextricable ties between imperialism and the need for racism to justify it. But the complete erasure from history of the magnificently successful slave revolt in Haiti leading to first great free republic of black people (around the same time as the American Revolution) is another unsavory piece of the propaganda doctrine of American Exceptionalism. Again, a purposeful denying of history to hold up the doctrine myth of white supremacy necessary to the slave-holding South and the merchant ties in the North.
	♥ 10:19am PaulRobeson1920: How do we create a loving society? Is the question that needs to be at the forefront. Yeah please, be more specific. But I caution you @sphere “never argue with a fool because some people won’t be able to tell the difference” or trollz don’t feed them trools
	10:19am Marie: ?=me (I mean today's show title in particular) @)
	10:20am Armed and Legged: @Anton, troll or ignorant, that old smear is not working anymore.
	♥ 10:20am Phillippe: Good morning
	♥ 10:20am TDK60: Good morning, Trouble.
	10:21am H P Jackson: Our leadership in Washington is an epic failure
	♥ 10:21am Anton: @Armed I was talking about an album of Bowie covers trouble just recommended in the chat. I’m reading but not participating in the Afghanistan discussion
	10:23am Armed and Legged: Thanks DJ Trouble for the clue about the Bowie Covers on Khruangbin will listen to them all.
	10:24am Armed and Legged: My apologies Anton, am very sorry, was directing that to "Sphere"
	10:24am Stan: Brutal white male patriarchy--how I recently heard the US and its history described. Wasn't Britain the main perpetrator or slavery and colonialism?
	10:26am sphere: @ Armed and Legged - I don't agree.
	10:27am Armed and Legged: Slavery is as old as human life, Ancient Egypt was a slave economy, think pyramid labor. And before that the Old Testament described it as normal.
	♥ 10:28am PaulRobeson1920: Going forward, investing in Livingry, there can be no failure only feedback. It’s similar to creating/designing a loving lightbulb filament for all men and women. Each attempt you learn something toward the goal- a Loving Society is achievable and a worthy goal.
	♥ 10:29am PaulRobeson1920: On that note! Peace & Love Ya’ll! I LOVE WFMU! And be well! Imagine Genuine Peace
	10:31am Stan: Yeah, I know slavery is very old but I think that since the 1500s or so, Britain has been the main country doing it. And that seems driven by their elite's self-aggrandizement. That was a recent realization on my part.
	10:32am Armed and Legged: It was the Belgians who taught the British how to trade slaves.
	10:34am Stan: Re: the Belgians--mm hm, but they did not export it at the scale of Britain, right? Lovely music, Trouble.
	♥ 10:35am TDK60: I'm with C.L.R. James and other freedom fighters.
	10:36am Adrian in London: Hi Trouble x
	♥ 10:38am oshiwoshi: +1 for Black Jacobins
	♥ 10:38am Listener Gregory: I keep forgetting to install lanes, but this song is definitely reminding me. Thanks.
	♥ 10:40am Listener Gregory: HA! Pls ignore last comment. I had just switched radios and was tuned in to a different show playing a tape loop.
	10:40am Armed and Legged: @Stan "the Spanish began to bring slaves from Africa to Hispaniola around 1500. This established a new pattern of slavery: slaves from Africa were forcibly taken to the plantations of the Americas. This pattern endured for 350 years: on the vast plantations in the New World, sugar, tobacco, cotton, and coffee were grown, as global commodities, by slaves" https://www.thegreatcoursesdaily.com/the-slave-trade-from-europe-to-the-americas/
	10:44am emily: so beautiful
	♥ 10:45am Handy Haversack: And back. Given the rain overnight, Ken, water quality is likely in the "poopy" range.
	10:45am Stan: @Armed&Legged--great sourcing; I need to read more about the history of slavery but I still believe that does not disprove my assertion of the proportion scale of the role of Britain and the British--and aside from that, weren't many of the original slaveholders in the colonies and the US from England?
	♥ 10:48am Zinn The Mood: I’m deeply skeptical of how the disparaging term “conspiracy theory” is so casually thrown around. It’s designed to shut down conversation and implicate the person accused as come kind of zany or misinformed hoaxer. And it’s origins are with the CIA, who came up with the term specially to delegitimize those who challenged the official narrative of how JFK (and MLK?) were assassinated. I’m finding that an immense uptick in the past few years of its use by the MSM and your average Neoliberal CNN/MSNBC viewer, about everything to to disparaging Bernie to skeptics of the RussiaGate farce to the defense of the garbage political ideology of “incrementalism” etc. Copernicus was a conspiracy theorist in his day. Until it was universally agreed upon that the Earth rotates around the sun and not the other way around. The abolitionists who fought against the criminal evil of those who rationalized slavery based on a philosophy of blacks being lesser human beings were sort of conspiracy theorists of their day. The many of us who said that the Gulf of Tonkin was a lie, that Iraqi WMD’s were a lie, that the anti war and black liberation movements were being targeted and spied upon by the FBI, etc etc were “conspiracy theorists.” Until they were all proven right.
	♥ 10:51am popchop: Exited to discover your show!
	♥ 10:52am Anton: Such a chill mash up!
	10:54am Armed and Legged: 'Final Judgement' (the most-ever banned book) describes in detail and fact the truth behind the JFK murder. It names names too.
	10:55am sphere: @ Zinn - The term "conspiracy theory" may shut down inquiry in some cases. but it totally fits irrational patterns of fake cause and effect. Have you ever been to Comet Ping-Pong Pizza in DC? A bunch of 4chan types turned it into the center of Pizzagate, which was totally fake. So a guy armed with a rifle walks into Comet Ping-Pong demanding to see the women held in the absent. Guess what Zinn, Comet Ping-Pong has no basement. I think "conspiracy theory" is still a useful term.
	10:57am Armed and Legged: @sphere Zinn is 100% correct. Calling someone a 'conspiracy theorist' is no substitute for doing your own hard work of study and critical thinking. It only shows-off one's low intellect.
	10:57am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: Stan, I don't know how many slaves were brought to the Americas by traders from the various nations involved, but at least until 1808 (see the Wikipedia article called Slavery in Britain, section 10 on abolition for why that date is important) the British were certainly very big players, perhaps the biggest. I would speculate that is because it was a triangular trade - slaves from west Africa to the Caribbean and the US, sugar and cotton from there to Europe and manufactured goods from Europe and especially Britain to the empire. See section 8.1 in that article for more about the nature of that trade. Not a surprise - at the time British industrial and naval power were significant. There is a big argument for reparations to be paid by many very rich people today whose wealth derives from ancestors who profited from the trade.
	♥ 11:02am tim from washington: Hey Trouble and peoples!
	♥ 11:04am Carmichael: Heya Trouble. If no one minds, I'll stay in the shallow end of the conversation.
	♥ 11:05am Listener Gregory: "Conspiracy theory" may be thrown around too easily, but I don't think it's correct to say that Copernicus had a conspiracy theory at the time. Copernicus's theory was about astronomy. Conspiracy theories are about people and organizations, all of which are secretly arrayed against us, contrary to what most people believe.
	♥ 11:05am Greg from ZONE 5: The reason I'm often happy with my personal work and seldom happy with my day job is that my personal work allows plenty of time for failure.
	♥ 11:08am tim from washington: "Failing is always an option." Don't i know it! I'm really, really good at failing - hahaha.
	♥ 11:09am ChukAmok: @Sphere Comet Ping Pong might not have a basement (they don't), but the pizza is delicious! Good shows there too.
	11:09am Armed and Legged: @Carmichael, with that El Dorado fire you might want to mosey down to the deep end for safety. Is El Dorado Hills threatened?
	♥ 11:09am PaulRobeson1920: “What we have here is, a failure to communicate” - 1967
	11:11am Armed and Legged: @Listener Copernicus was disputing God himself with the heliocentric theory, can't get more "conspiratorial" than that!
	♥ 11:11am ChukAmok: One of the starkest details that resonated while visiting the National Civil Rights Museum was that the Atlantic slave trade was the largest forced migration in history. That museum is definitely worth a visit if ever in Memphis.
	11:13am Kagi: @Stan Portugal was the main player in the Atlantic slave trade in the 16th and 17th centuries; after the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713, Britain got more or less a monopoly.
	♥ 11:13am Carmichael: @Armed, not yet. The fire is on the other side of the county. There are about 5 more nearby, though.
	11:13am headcleaner: the current track is the exact opposite of all this conspiracy talk - and will heal you if you let it
	♥ 11:15am TDK60: Hope you're safe, Carm. I heard a report today that there are 13 /major/ fires in California right now.
	♥ 11:16am ChukAmok: That might seem obvious at first thought, but when it's written on the wall in large capital letters it has the same impact as a punch to the gut.
	♥ 11:16am Listener Gregory: @Armed and Legged, The universe is God's conspiracy... and it IS out to get us.
	11:16am Armed and Legged: @Carmichael OK, just looked at the map. Much further east than I thought and more isolated than I imagined (in location, not size...it's huge)
	11:18am Marie: Ur totally elevating my morning, Trouble. Thanks!!!!
	11:18am headcleaner: mine also
	11:19am Armed and Legged: @Listener I think maybe God is the Universe's idea of a conspiracy that it uses to 'get us' haha. Remember it was God that instructed his chosen to enslave the Gentiles.
	♥ 11:20am tim from washington: Raga Jazz Thursday!
	♥ 11:20am Carmichael: Thanks, TDK. The Dixie Fire is the multi-headed hydra at the moment.
	♥ 11:20am Trouble: merci for saying that@ marie!
	11:21am Elemental Man: best track right here!
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Ugh, stay low, Carmichael.
	11:24am Editor B: Earth. Righteous. Love it. Thank you for expanding my horizons.
	♥ 11:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, Carm. Keep a close eye on your tiki torches.
	♥ 11:25am tim from washington: Stay safe, Carmichael!
	♥ 11:26am jt: Yeah good: The Elements
	♥ 11:28am tim from washington: Has anyone heard Laura Nyro's 'Christmas and the Beads of Sweat? I haven't yet but I'm picking it up the next time I see it. I've seen it at the record stores countless times and had no idea that Alice Coltrane plays on all of side 2.
	♥ 11:28am Jason from Houston: ꒰ ॢ ꈍ ◡ ꈍ ॢ ꒱
	♥ 11:30am jt: Tim- good to know this. Always going back to the well of Alice Coltrane’s music, nice to find it just got deeper.
	11:31am Marie: Hey Trouble, are you big into swimming? I am. I LuRvE it and need it. So therapeutic.
	♥ 11:32am Trouble: yesssss i love swimming @ marie.
	♥ 11:32am tim from washington: @jt - Pick up Santana's 'Welcome' in the dollar bin. There's an incredible Alice Coltrane song as the opening cut. The rest is listen at your own risk. But the Alice cut is IMMENSE.
	11:33am Marco Esquandolas: Ive heard a fair bit of Joe Henderson, but somehow had never heard that before. It was awesome. Thanks Trouble!
	11:33am Armed and Legged: That Joe Henderson track is memorizing. Great job as always DJ Trouble
	11:33am headcleaner: @tim - putting that Laura Nyro on my list
	♥ 11:34am TDK60: Hi Tim, I like that "Welcome" album. Heard, Laura's "Christmas.." but it's been a while.
	♥ 11:38am tim from washington: @TDK60 - I'll give it another listen. I'm not that into Santana but I really, really like his record with Mahavishnu and the record with Alice.
	11:39am Marie: @Trouble--it amazes me how wonderful it can feel and how soothing it is and it is like you can put your whole body into it and release a lot of energy. And it's kind of like flying
	♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Recently saw a couple documentary-type shows about Nina Simone and Billie Holiday. What remarkable lives they led!
	♥ 11:42am Anton: @Marie and @trouble I’ve started going to the neighborhood community pool after work each day. Swimming laps is amazing for exercise but also just so wonderful for decompressing and for mental health. Nice to get out of breath without being drenched in sweat!
	♥ 11:47am Trouble: i agree @ marie
	11:48am Marie: @Anton, good for you, yes, decompressing @)
	♥ 11:49am βrian: Little Human has become obsessed with swimming, so we got a season's membership at an outdoor pool. It's been lovely.
	♥ 11:49am tim from washington: That was a really interesting description of Nite Jewel's research. It seems like loss, mourning and trauma are a big part of the popular zeitgeist right now. For my work I regularly look at descriptions of new fiction and non-fiction popular titles. It seems like so much of it across the genres (ex: cozy fiction - literary) focus on those topics currently. I know art isn't gendered but marketing sure is and most of these books are marketed at women.
	11:53am Bobby: This Domenique Dumont track is fantastic. :)
	11:54am Armed and Legged: WFMU is my personal reward for life approached properly.
	♥ 11:55am βrian: The Continental Subway is waiting at the platform: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:55am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! Very glad to have been here with ears!
	♥ 11:56am TDK60: Thanks y gracias, DJ է.
	♥ 11:57am Trouble: thanks for listening today, see you next week
	11:58am headcleaner: Haven't been swimming in over 2 years. Too many boats and trains (and then walking) from where I live in NYC to get there. And once you're there, it's crowded and you have to wach your stuff and head back early and wait for the ferry, etc.
	♥ 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 11:58am melinda: great show Trub!
	11:58am headcleaner: And then Americans have this thing about wearing clothes when they go swimming... like, what's that about?
	♥ 11:58am tim from washington: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:59am Kevin / Ringwood / UK: This song is lovely Trouble. Thanks for the show today, it gave me a real boost.
	♥ 11:59am Carmichael: I have a pool, so I've been swimming all summer. Getting cooler now, though.
	♥ 11:59am Listener Gregory: Thanks for an excellent show, Trouble.
	11:59am Marco Esquandolas: Thank you Trouble! This show was so good today I almost feel like it's a conspiracy!
	♥ 11:59am D Rok: I love this track so much. What a great note to end on Trouble! Thanks for another great show.
	11:59am Dayffid: thanks Troub!
	♥ 11:59am Handy Haversack: I hear that, headcleaner. I love to swim but feel like I never get to.
	♥ 11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks Trouble!
	♥ 11:50am thriftstoreleather: The show today is totally Fire!! My work schedule recently changed, so I have to catch your show in the archive! Great Stuff!
