Playlist for This Is the Modern World with Trouble - August 7, 2008

Thursdays 9am - Noon on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Listener comments!

Thu. 8/7/08 9:05am From: Dan from Toronto

Trouble! Longtime listener, first time commenter. Today, for a change, I'm working from home, so I can finally listen to your wondrous show live, instead of via podcast. Looking forward to it!

Thu. 8/7/08 9:07am From: trouble

i stayed up way too late finishing anne patchett's truth and beauty, a memoir about her friendship with author lucy greely. Really great read, beautiful and sad!

Thu. 8/7/08 9:08am From: Jim

I skipped terrible work to study for something terrible. Maybe play something fresh and exciting for me!

Thu. 8/7/08 9:12am From: trouble

welcome first time commenters and oldtime alike...

Thu. 8/7/08 9:17am From: gumby

I'm not sure if it was this program, but someone recommended Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabato. I wanted to thank them, it is a great book to read in the summer sun. Filled with cold places and cold people, but beatifully written. As you said Trouble, beautiful and sad. But a good reminder of our frail humanity in an enormous world.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:23am From: Bruce

I just finished What Is the What, by Dave Eggers. Lots of pain and sadness written with beauty and hope.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:29am From: daniel

Remainder by Tom McCarthy. Just recommending, since I was amazed.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:32am From: Jim

I used to love Darren Daulton.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:35am From: gumby

Now I am reading 1491. Which is an update based on the latest archeological and scientific evidence about the people of N & S America before Columbus and what happened afterward. It is amazing in that 2008 science employed in studying what happend 500 + years ago is still just speculation. It is well written though.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:35am From: mp

The Cave by Jose Saramago. Also amazing. I need to pick up Truth and Beauty, i knew Lucy when she was in Provincetown (early 90's), a beautiful and troubled person in a beautiful and troubled place. which reminds me of Karen Dalton somehow. great show.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:36am From: JP

Ah yes, Dutch... I miss him...

Thu. 8/7/08 9:43am From: catpatz

have been reading the ice shirt by william t vollman ---- slowly, but its quite nice - - - distant and striking. and vikings !

Thu. 8/7/08 9:46am From: bill

I'm reading Space is the Place by John F. Szwed. It's the biography of the Sun Ra, born on Saturn and transported to this sorry planet to save our souls.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:48am From: sebastian in santiago

hello trouble and listeners/readers alike. just finished artificial respiration by ricardo piglia, from argentina. i have been forced by it to delve into wittgenstein's tractatus. can you believe it? i can't. never thought i would do something like that.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:52am From: dc pat

reading Red Harvest by Hammett...because I just finished watching Yojimbo then Fist Full of Dollars.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:53am From: bill

I just finished Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius by Ray Monk. Wittgenstein was an interesting dude. I've been on a biography reading spree. I'm waiting for Trouble's autobiography to come out.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:55am From: Bad Ronald

I just finished reading the comments on the playlist.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:56am From: dc pat

good job Bad, now you're all caught up on all there is to know...

Thu. 8/7/08 9:56am From: 55fps

Watched 'jindabyne' which prompts me to re-read Raymond Carver, the master short storier.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:58am From: EVKeef

like your show a lot--a friend of mine asked me the other day where he can find archival recordings of swing/big band music 30s thru 50s that is sung in foreign languages--preferably Japanese/Chinese but he'll take others---have you ever seen a comp like this or know where to look? thanks

Thu. 8/7/08 9:59am From: Jim

Not new in the slightest, but always cool.

Thu. 8/7/08 9:59am From: dc pat

love this Move song.

Thu. 8/7/08 10:01am From: Jim

Who doesn't

Thu. 8/7/08 10:02am From: dc pat

Yeah, I don't blame them--it does sound like the Who.

Thu. 8/7/08 10:03am From: Jim

Oof.

Thu. 8/7/08 10:03am From: daniel

yyyyyyyyeeeaaaa!!!!!!
que viva la chicha!
a mover el culito!

Thu. 8/7/08 10:09am From: Bad Ronald

Correct Jim nothing moves me like The Move!!!

Thu. 8/7/08 10:11am From: mp

EVKeef, i'd point him towards the Secret Museum of Mankind series on Yazoo, though i don't think they have a specific release on the subject there are great things pertaining, throughout. http://www.yazoorecords.com/ethnic.htm

Thu. 8/7/08 10:14am From: GP

OK Trouble, now play some Matthew Dear "Don and Sherri" to make up for that, in which I used to think he WAS singing about Don Cherry until I read the lyrics...weird...

Thu. 8/7/08 10:14am From: 55fps

Mention Don Cherry here up in Buffalo & one immediately thinks of the wacky hockey persona, who probably has had his fill of bitter beer.

Thu. 8/7/08 10:14am From: trouble

EVkeef, i don't know of anything, but check charlie lewis's playlists. his playlists are still up on line here, and he loved japanese and chinese old stuff.

Thu. 8/7/08 10:16am From: Don Cherry

55fps, you forgot to mention my plaid jackets and old school tough guy persona. I played without a helmet, you know.

Thu. 8/7/08 10:17am From: 55fps

Sorry Grapes

Thu. 8/7/08 10:30am From: m

just got my marathon swag yesterday and washed dishes to the sweet sounds of trouble's premium -- amazing stuff!

Thu. 8/7/08 10:31am From: daniel

the russian france gall?

Thu. 8/7/08 10:35am From: trouble

m- I am honored that my premium got such a workout!

Thu. 8/7/08 10:42am From: Ken from Hyde Park

Today's show rocks. Good stuff!

Thu. 8/7/08 10:43am From: Laurie

I braved American Apparel for the new Sebastien Tellier. I needed it because the Eurovision contest entry, "Divine," was on it. "Divine" totally should have won, by the way. Booooo. So, I walked away with a wonderful CD and a hoodie dress.

Thu. 8/7/08 10:45am From: Jim

I wouldn't use the word rocks, but it's a good show.

Thu. 8/7/08 10:57am From: gp

MMMMM!, Coralie

Thu. 8/7/08 10:58am From: Parq

I am enjoying the whole show, as I always do, but I gotta say, this Vetiver track is especially pretty.

Thu. 8/7/08 11:04am From: paul

hey andy, i bought a bunch of time stereo cds from you on ebay. wooo.

Thu. 8/7/08 11:09am From: trouble

hey thanks for all the suggestions for summer reading. Not enough hours in the day...

Thu. 8/7/08 11:09am From: Bad Ronald

Funk-a-Licious!!!

Thu. 8/7/08 11:09am From: submariner

please to be playing Big Blood

Thu. 8/7/08 11:16am From: Laurie

I loooooooove Galaxie 500. I love "Tugboat." It is a really great mixtape song.

Thu. 8/7/08 11:19am From: trouble

that song would make a great sounddtrack for my imaginary life where I live on a tugboat

Thu. 8/7/08 11:21am From: Bad Ronald

"Tugboat Trouble"

Thu. 8/7/08 11:22am From: Laurie

Ha ha, you need to meet up with Tugboat Richie.




j/k

Thu. 8/7/08 11:23am From: Bad Ronald

I am currently looking at all the tugboats in NY harbor..

Thu. 8/7/08 11:23am From: frenchee

Ah, Spongehead.
LOVE the Hendersons & Kirby....

Thu. 8/7/08 11:26am From: Jim

Nice. Keep rocking.

Thu. 8/7/08 11:40am From: Lucky

I love "Uncle Jim"! I haven't heard that song in decades. That was an amazing era for the Sun City Girls live. Now the Idle Race? Wow, go Jeff Lyne!

Thu. 8/7/08 11:43am From: Eddie

pianosaurus? HELL YEAH.

Thu. 8/7/08 11:45am From: Jim

Got anything new?

Thu. 8/7/08 11:45am From: R. P.

I have a pianosaurus. From the Dollar Store. I thought I recognized that sound.

Thu. 8/7/08 11:46am From: andy waltzer

hi everyone, thanks for listening!
& trouble- have a BRILLIANT time at the beach!
hey, i really hope the squeaky chair comes back for an appearance at some point this weekend.
pianosaurus were so great! remember bianca "flystrip" miller? "I fell in love with my gynecologist?

Thu. 8/7/08 11:51am From: Ike

Andy, what did the janitor request? Heh.

Thu. 8/7/08 11:53am From: andy waltzer

He wanted Stevie Wonder or Michael Jackson.

Thu. 8/7/08 11:54am From: Harvey

Andy, I haven't been listening long enough to have heard your show when you were a regular, but you really are great.

Thu. 8/7/08 11:56am From: frenchee

I raise a glass to 1989--and to Andy. Thanks, Trouble, for handling over the radio reins to AW.

Thu. 8/7/08 11:57am From: andy waltzer

Thanks, Harvey (& while I'm here, thanks Paul!).
I love love love doing shows, any chance I get (next time for fill ins will be when I visit in September).
While I am here,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WFMU!

Thu. 8/7/08 11:57am From: trouble

harvey, andy has tons of past show that are archived at wfmu.org. go to the bottom of the page and look at 'on the bench'

Thu. 8/7/08 11:58am From: trouble

oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY!

Thu. 8/7/08 11:59am From: andy waltzer

Lucky, I should have brought my cassette of the high school band I was in (Um...Disgruntled Youth). We did a version of "Kill The Klansmen" by Sun City Girls that might be the height in pain inducing youth sounds.

Thu. 8/7/08 12:00pm From: andy waltzer

& happy birthday to everyone who ever has had or will have a birthday (always loved when Hova or Belinda would say that during Greasy Kid Stuff).
