hello mouse,
pencil or pen?

Thu. 4/16/09 9:35am From: chris

Hey Trouble, have you heard/read this?: http://cdbaby.com/cd/rothenberg It is really neat! I know you are in the middle of a show and whatnot but obviously you are a fan of birdsong and the CD companion to this book is very cool.

Thu. 4/16/09 9:36am From: north guinea hills

i need to put a moratorium on supporting my local record stores so i can pay my taxes (i've been splurging a lot on vinyl lately anyways).

as for my record shopping, i never go in w/ pre-conceived notions of what i want, and i refuse to listen to any thing before i buy..... it works 90% of the time...

Thu. 4/16/09 9:36am From: trouble

thanks listener mark for pointing out my typo: i meant pastoral abandonment...

Thu. 4/16/09 9:36am From: jaypee

Oh, thank goodness, Trouble. I feel much better now. As do my ears.

Thu. 4/16/09 9:37am From: listener mark

oh trouble,
there are so many books in my house, I can't fit records. I do have CDs wedged in strategic places to prevent book slides.

Thu. 4/16/09 9:45am From: north guinea hills

my gf wants me to stop buying recs as i've run out of shelf space and my flat is already cluttered w/ piles of various media precarious stacked and wedged in various shelfs and under tables. i might have to make a sliding shelf system in the near future, since we all know i won't stop buying books or records...

Thu. 4/16/09 9:47am From: annie

good morning GWW. when is your show?? i am already dancing. have not been able to sit still!

Thu. 4/16/09 9:50am From: listener mark

Shepard,(a real find, UK edition), and "ascension, john coltrane and his quest" by eric nissenson (another good find) and "The Paris Review" Spring 2005

Thu. 4/16/09 9:50am From: mouse

Thu. 4/16/09 9:52am From: dc pat

1000 LPs shoved into storage; no more CD shelf space left; no book space left; iPod is broken. Some day I'll move into a giant house and reserve an entire floor for music/book library....someday...

Thu. 4/16/09 9:53am From: annie

Thu. 4/16/09 10:05am From: Baba B

I learned that as "the good lord giveth and the landlord taketh away."

Thu. 4/16/09 10:06am From: annie

Thu. 4/16/09 10:13am From: Cecile

Let me know if you come up short, Trouble.
I might end up with more than one copy.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:13am From: listener mark

would've had it sooner but I was outside chasing the squirrel from the bird feeder

Thu. 4/16/09 10:16am From: listener mark

I've nothing against the squirrel, but two pairs of pileated woodpeckers feed there. The birds are protected by law. So you see it's a matter of legalities.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:16am From: squirrel

I will always win. Always.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:17am From: Cecile

wow, everything I've heard from Grouper is just lovely

Thu. 4/16/09 10:18am From: annie

no, but lots of lou reed . velvet underground is on cd.. not alot.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:19am From: north guinea hills

grouper now does "songs"?!
the only album i have from them is mostly albient stasis w/ traces of slowdive's curlicue whispers....

Thu. 4/16/09 10:20am From: listener mark

Oh squirrel
I will fight you on the beaches.
I will fight you in the fields.
I will fight you in the towns and villages.
I will never surrender!

Thu. 4/16/09 10:22am From: jaypee

TGWW, ooooo, more bird talk! I saw a Meadowlark last weekend, first I've seen in years!

I don't know anyone who likes Burger King...no food snob here..I eat almost anything as long as it is not moving...but HATE Burger King.....their commercials don't help either.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:23am From: Scottish Terrier

Listener Mark, I approve of your message.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:24am From: jaypee

And here's a tip to keep squirrels out of your bird feeders: cayenne pepper powder. The hot stuff. Mix it in with the seed so that it's all covered with the powder. The birds don't notice the heat, but squirrels can't handle it. Caution: be careful when mixing! Inhaling pepper powder is like getting pepper sprayed.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:24am From: still b/p

Stasis With Traces. Your Thurs. morning GNFAB, or at least a GNFAS.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:24am From: Squirrel McSquirrelson

Do ya think ya kin defeat me ya wee laddie? I laugh in your direction.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:26am From: annie

i just saw a story about the city-fication of tysons corner!

Thu. 4/16/09 10:27am From: Cajun Squirrel

Cayenne pepper, whoo eee, load it up in dere, That is jus gettin warm for me.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:28am From: Scottish Terrier

My mighty teeth are a big as a German Shepherd's and my bark is as loud as one, too. And, aye, I'm not afraid to make you a snack with my kibble!

So, step orf, you long-tailed rat.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:31am From: fishmonkeystew

Ah, squirrel talk. I've been slowly depleting the population in my neighborhood. Not that I really want to. I like squirrels, but their eating my garage and eyeballing my house. I tried to get a squirrel treaty signed, but they laughed in my face...

Thu. 4/16/09 10:31am From: annie

healthy as horses gww. i lived in bluemont area long ago..worked in leesburg

Thu. 4/16/09 10:31am From: still b/p

I intermittenly attempt to establish a cayenne pepper perimeter on the rail of my deck to protect plants from pitiless diggers -- wondering if the neighbors think there's some warlock bizness up when I do the sprinkle.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:32am From: north guinea hills

is this a relatively recent pharoah? who'd think i'd hear a terry riley piece and a pharoah sanders piece i've never heard before in the same show....

Thu. 4/16/09 10:33am From: annie

we have a collection of chipmunks here. not many squirrels, lots of rabbits, but the owls are having a feast.. gww. only two on vinyl

Thu. 4/16/09 10:33am From: still b/p

..and some -- squirrels, not warlocks -- have homesteaded in the eaves for years, but that's the landlord's challenge.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:34am From: listener mark

two legs good
four legs bad

Thu. 4/16/09 10:34am From: Ian

I'm diggin' this Pharoah Sanders, no sax and he's still awesome.

I once found a recipe for squirrel pie in a nice acorn flour crust.....I didn't try it.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:35am From: annie

we have mouse inside the walls of our house. and i think i watched a raccoon crawl down the back wall of the house, late at night and clumbering slowly.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:35am From: Scottish Terrier

four legs bad, lad? Ay, ye might need to rephrase that.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:36am From: annie

hhhmm acorn flour crust... i'll take possum though

Thu. 4/16/09 10:37am From: Cecile

yeah, those suckers are bitter. that's post-apocaplyptic restarting the civilization desperation dinner.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:39am From: mouse

are the birds outside noisier than the birds inside? maybe! (chilltown jc)

Thu. 4/16/09 10:39am From: annie

i'll email you gww.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:42am From: annie

i don't dj anymore ....wish i did

Thu. 4/16/09 10:44am From: annie

i'm getting some work done. emailing etc.... and trouble's show is helpin me concentrate

Thu. 4/16/09 10:45am From: fishmonkeystew

mmmmm...Possum pie...

This year we bought 3 new bird feeders. The birds have been so loud that when we go for a walk down the street, you can hear a loud racket coming from my yard. All week we've had turkeys (1 tom and 2 hens) hanging out, too. Neato!

Thu. 4/16/09 10:46am From: dale

the hidden door is remarkably akin to the Persuaders theme by John Barry

Thu. 4/16/09 10:47am From: jaypee

This song reminds me of something that would be on the soundtrack for TheNeverEnding Story.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:48am From: annie

fms- the turkey up here are everywhere now and the fields are full of deer and young. i love watching the turkeys strut.. and gww. i am not close enough to a radio station to do shows anymore, i get my vicarious thrills listening to great djs on stations like this..

Thu. 4/16/09 10:50am From: listener mark

Sorry Scot Terrier.
Squirrel has me,... squirrelly.
This particular squirrel has eaten a lot of suet cake.
If I frighten it enough it might have a heart attack.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:51am From: fishmonkeystew

Annie-we've been seeing LOADS of turkeys up and down the street out here (N.E. CT). My wife and I counted 40 in one flock, all spread out across the road. They could care less if there's a car beeping its horn at them. Just take their time crossing. It's a hoot.

Well, I'm off to West Haven. I wish I could take you all with me. Laters.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:53am From: Scottish Terrier

Apology accepted, lad!

Ah, suet cake! suet pudding! That will put some fat on ye for the winter! I can't say I blame the bugger for swipin' that. But, yes, those fluff-tails are wee mangy bastards.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:53am From: listener mark

this dj mehdi is great I just pushed volume to 11

Thu. 4/16/09 10:54am From: Cecile

There are a couple of Tiger Sushi places here in MN. Completely strange, inauthenic sushi, but also extremely delicious.

And yes, LM, this has a great cruisin' deep house/movie theme going on.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:55am From: annie

mark, how did you find the book so fast?

Thu. 4/16/09 10:55am From: listener mark

stereo's red lining
there is an error message!

Thu. 4/16/09 10:56am From: listener mark

annie,
I buy and sell books part time.

Thu. 4/16/09 10:58am From: annie

i'm impressed you found it so quickly. greatly appreciated. now i have to locate a copy..

Thu. 4/16/09 10:58am From: annie

pocket piano is great!

Thu. 4/16/09 11:04am From: dc pat

I hope the pocket piano dies a fiery, horrible death...

Thu. 4/16/09 11:04am From: Cecile

that film is very, very strange. I watched it completely straight.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:05am From: annie

what was the movie?

Thu. 4/16/09 11:06am From: dc pat

I like when they get all wet and foamy..

Thu. 4/16/09 11:06am From: Bill W

Hello, Mary Lou!

The Criterion DVD comes with the novel, which is a little mores traightforward.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:08am From: trouble

the movie is called The man who fell to earth by nicholas roeg. The "mary lou" character was a film invention, she was not connceted romantically to bowie's character in the novel...thankfully. yikes!

Thu. 4/16/09 11:09am From: Laurie

That His Name Is Alive member you mentioned... Is it the fellow who plays that weird accordion like thing? And he plays with Tara Jane O'Neil as well?

PS: There's a little red cardinal and his girlfriend hopping around in the angel's trumpet bush outside my window. My little calico cat is sitting in the window, watching.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:10am From: annie

oohh, i saw that loong ago, perhaps a revisit is in order..

Thu. 4/16/09 11:11am From: north guinea hills

i almost forgot how much i enjoy this show. i just procured the whole blood & fire recs back catalogue and have been listening to an album or three first thing in the morning at work the last 3 months. now i've finished blood & fire, i can enjoy no longer having trouble-free mornings (and other morning wfmu dj's).

Thu. 4/16/09 11:13am From: Cecile

I find with Nick Roeg movies that I am usually befuddled while watching them, but they resonate and haunt long after they've finished. Except for "Man" which was just silly, IMO.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:15am From: trouble

this film made "performance" look like a disney flick...very dark

Thu. 4/16/09 11:17am From: trouble

ngh: you can now work your way through the bullwackies catalog. there was an interesting article in monday or tuesday's times about the label

Thu. 4/16/09 11:19am From: 55ffrr

What was the Roeg film with Theresa Russell & Art Garfunkle? That one was odd as well.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:19am From: Cecile

walkabout is the one that really knocks me for a loop.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:20am From: Cecile

Track 29, never saw it, but I remember crap like that.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:20am From: annie

i could see that movie over and over cecile. jennie aggutter was great in that. have you read the book?

Thu. 4/16/09 11:20am From: north guinea hills

trouble, i do have a bit from wackies (the i dub ny kids throw me stuff every now and them), but i dearly need to take a break from all things dub for a few months. i will look up that article tonight, thought thanks! it would be nice to support what is now a local label, anyhoo.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:22am From: Cecile

No, was there a book? Gotta look that up!

Thu. 4/16/09 11:23am From: annie

there are explanations in the book for the boy's odd behavior.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:24am From: still b/p

I remember that a second or third viewing of the Man Who Fell to Earth lowers the frustration/bafflement factor of first viewing, because what's unclear matters less, and the elements that are entertaining can just be taken as they come.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:25am From: dc pat

if you don't like this oh sees song, then as far a I'm concerned, you've got spit for blood...

Thu. 4/16/09 11:25am From: Cecile

oh, ok.
I could kind of guess why.
I like that movie because it could SO not get made today. And it's like nothing else.

I miss the bittersweet/dark parts of 70s cinema quite a bit.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:25am From: annie

i'm gonna watch that tonight..

Thu. 4/16/09 11:26am From: Cecile

still b/p, I should probably give it another chance

dcp, i have coffee for blood, but love that song.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:26am From: annie

it all focusses on the concept of the walkabout for the young man but spills over into the girl's behavior as well. yeah i'm watching "man" tonight

Thu. 4/16/09 11:27am From: listener mark

trader joe's has a great fair trade organic bolivian blend that's great

Thu. 4/16/09 11:29am From: dc pat

speaking of walkabout, did you ever watch Walkabout?

Thu. 4/16/09 11:29am From: N by N again

Ya down with OBB?

Thu. 4/16/09 11:30am From: Cecile

I got a big can of that from my sister for Christmas.
Now I'm working on a lovely house blend from Twin Lakes Coffee in Twin Lakes, MI. The guy is a fanatic. and the place is located in the middle of nowhere.

Is there another Walkabout than the Walkabout we were talking about?

Thu. 4/16/09 11:31am From: Matt

Wow, I love the Mr. Scruff tune. It sounds very Kruder-and-Dorfmeister-ish

Thu. 4/16/09 11:31am From: annie

coffee roasters are a breed among themselves.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:33am From: dc pat

sorry, popping in and out. Didn't realize it was already mentioned...

Thu. 4/16/09 11:33am From: GP

2 coffee plants near me.Man, what a wonderful smell when they are cooking their goods!

Thu. 4/16/09 11:35am From: Cecile

yeah, we were really digging it. Now i have to find the book.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:37am From: annie

small little book cecile, easily found in any used book shop. let me know when you do read it. would love to hear your thoughts

Thu. 4/16/09 11:38am From: Cecile

i sure will.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:42am From: zoot

The one with Art Garfunkel and Theresa Russell was Bad Timing. Track 29 featured Theresa Russell and Gary Oldman. You also might want to check out Insignificance, a very interesting Roeg talkie.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:42am From: annie

i keep thinkin i'm gonna turn around and watch a bear traipse through the land here.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:42am From: listener mark

By the end of "this is the modern world" listener comments side bar just jumps back and forth

Thu. 4/16/09 11:45am From: Cecile

Oh, zoot, you are right. I just mixed that up.
thank you.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:46am From: Roosevelt Franklin

A bear eats bear food

Thu. 4/16/09 11:47am From: Johnny Crow

......And the bear had nothing to wear.

Thu. 4/16/09 11:48am From: trrrriihs

zut alors!

Thu. 4/16/09 11:48am From: dc pat

..the BEAR sang a sentimental AIR, you clown!

Thu. 4/16/09 11:49am From: dc pat

oh man prince rama--time to feel weird..

Thu. 4/16/09 11:49am From: listener mark

several cups of coffee adds to the effect of the jumping back and forth, this is interesting music

Thu. 4/16/09 11:53am From: Cecile

Rama sounds like it's from this crazy alternate universe 70s

Thu. 4/16/09 11:54am From: annie

trouble, great show today.. thanks....

Thu. 4/16/09 11:54am From: jt

This Prince Rama was just here yesterday... Not complainin' just sayin'
