good morning trouble and all you wonderful fellow listeners..

Thu. 5/28/09 9:03am trouble:

good morning, and welcome to fall?

Thu. 5/28/09 9:05am Parq:

Yes, it is a lovely March day, isn't it?

Thu. 5/28/09 9:06am George Eliot:

so warm, though. and i can hear the gleeful noises of the veggies that everyone planted..

Thu. 5/28/09 9:06am listener mark:

good morning george
good morning trouble
good morning Parq

Thu. 5/28/09 9:11am Oliver:

Good morning, starshine.
The earth says "chill-ho!"

Thu. 5/28/09 9:14am George Eliot:

i had a pleasant experience this morning listening to my morning radio out of blue hill, maine; weru. the dj played a compilation disc which included laura cantrell..!! i immediantly turned her on to the fmu archives.. woohoo!

Thu. 5/28/09 9:14am PMD:

Mornin' trouble and all. We'll see if my at home computer connection can handle all I'm asking it to do.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:15am Parq:

Ollie's, post reminds me, has anyone else seen the revived "Hair"? Did anyone else think it was lame? I couldn't get over the fuss being made about something so trite and insubstantial.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:16am George Eliot:

stage parq? did it include all the same songs?

Thu. 5/28/09 9:19am texas scott:

hey everyone of youse...
is e really for estrogen?
are we in for a women 'power hour'?
i'll be lurking,
thanks ms.T
i have the buddha box on standby...

Thu. 5/28/09 9:23am PMD:

This piece is making me feel like my computer can't handle it... OK, now it's better. But now I feel I have to get up and exercise.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:29am Parq:

Georgi, yeah, all 30-odd of them. And that's part of my point; by me, they were completely forgettable. Except for the ones that were radio hits in the 60s, I couldn't name two of them on pain of waterboarding.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:30am George Eliot:

hhmmm... did they get naked?

Thu. 5/28/09 9:34am Parq:

Yes indeed

Thu. 5/28/09 9:40am George Eliot:

interesting promotional pics, to be sure..was it all about he skin(which isn't bad, mind you) ?

Thu. 5/28/09 9:44am Cecile:

I saw Hair in 1982 at the U of M and they CUT OUT THE NUDE SCENE. It was the dumbest thing I ever saw.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:45am Cecile:

university of michigan.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:45am Cecile:

e is for the estrogen on my HRT patch. whee!

Thu. 5/28/09 9:49am still b/p:

Heard a funny note about current Woodstock-related movie. They had a little trouble finding suitable extras for nude roles, because today's common, um, grooming and mowing of revealed portions doesn't match the era.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:49am Cecile:

TODD
TODD
TODD
TODD

Thu. 5/28/09 9:50am chivito:

TODD IS GOD!

Thu. 5/28/09 9:50am Webhamster Hemulen:

I like the version on "With A Twist", which was a popular album on WFMU last century.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:51am Cecile:

YOU KNOW IT CHIVITO
can we get a thursday 2-play?

that's funny.
I love Demetri Martin, but actually any book or documentary you see on Woodstock is going to be weirder and way funnier.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:51am George Eliot:

still bp; that cracks me up.. all those remakes and revivals just will not capture the feeling of the time that it was. what we felt..

Thu. 5/28/09 9:53am trouble:

webmaster hemulen, I have been showing my students sita sings the blues and they love it!

Thu. 5/28/09 9:54am Incorrect Name:

Good morning Trouble and fellow listeners.

I have to say that while Trouble's shows are usually excellent, today's show is perfectly suited for my current state of mind. Thanks!

Thu. 5/28/09 9:55am George Eliot:

trouble, i tried watching that on "internet archives". it wouldn't play, but i got the drift. very nice indeed.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:56am Cecile:

Freaks and Geeks, on the other hand, got my high school years scarily right.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:57am Cecile:

it was the last time Judd Apatow had stong female characters right. i think it's because Paul Feig was writing it, sad to say.

Thu. 5/28/09 9:59am Shana:

Good morning, Trouble!

So lucky that my birthday falls on a Thursday this year. There is no better gift.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:02am George Eliot:

happy birthday shana!! you are spot on about that!

on another note.. can anyone recommend a cocktail bar or fine restaurant that might be interested in serving a hand-crafted absinthe made upstate?

Thu. 5/28/09 10:03am Lulu:

who needs Judd Apatow when you got a strong woman in Nicole Willis!!!

Thu. 5/28/09 10:06am Cecile:

I'd like both. And for Judd to shape up a little! I love the dumb comedies, but wish there was a great crazy girl coming of age one. Because, ladies, we all have stories...

Thu. 5/28/09 10:06am chris:

Anyone seen the Apatow series he did about college (i think it's called Undeclared)? I've never seen it and love Freaks and Geeks.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:09am Vivian:

Granted, not Apatow but if we are talking about strong female characters, what about Gilmore Girls?

Thu. 5/28/09 10:09am Shana:

*I'm blushing*

Merci mille fois!

Thu. 5/28/09 10:10am Cecile:

Undeclared is excellent.
I tried to watch that buttheytalksofastitwashardtoget
I do like both of the principals a lot though.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:12am Cecile:

gilmore girls, I mean

Thu. 5/28/09 10:13am Brian:

Why, Shana! Happy Birthday. Greetings from Madison.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:13am GP:

Nice swing for a Thrusday morning..thanks Trouble...I'll be listening here in the corner today...busy.
Annie, if you are out there today thanks for the email..I'll let you know and appreciate you remembering me.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:14am 55rpm:

Looks like Apatow's next (Funny People) probably won't feature a female lead; it takes a semi-serious look at a comedian's life (played by Adam Sandler).

Thu. 5/28/09 10:14am George Eliot:

i'll pass that on to her, gp. wink wink..

Thu. 5/28/09 10:16am Will:

I love this soundtrack - good show Trouble!

Thu. 5/28/09 10:17am dc pat:

blalglagluh....go Barca!

Great stuff trouble, thanks.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:17am texas scott:

this soundtrack ignites the imagination
for sure!

Thu. 5/28/09 10:18am chris:

Don't think I've really liked any of Jud's movies so far...

Thu. 5/28/09 10:20am George Eliot:

all those younger actors all look alike to me. like in dogma. i cannot tell those guys apart, but i like their various movies, except the action ones.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:20am PMD:

George, how about Moosewood in Ithaca? If they serve alcohol.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:22am sugarwolf:

I got the Freaks and Geeks sspecial yearbook edition at the Borders clearance.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:22am Shana:

Oh, yay! Brian in Madison. Hello there, old friend. The next time you come to Ann Arbor, let me know. I miss you!

Thu. 5/28/09 10:22am George Eliot:

hhmmmm, i think she is only focusing on nyc and the region. i think she sends stuff too.. i'll tell her, though. i know she goes out there, but any tapas bar might be interested? her absinthe is fabulous, some of the best from what i hear

Thu. 5/28/09 10:23am Cecile:

I thought 40 yr old virgin would have been perfect if they would have trimmed half an hour out of it. Most comedies flounder after 90 minutes.

sugarwolf, i have that as well. I bought it the day it came out, and have loaned it out more than anything in my collection.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:23am listener mark:

what the hell is going on over there?????

Thu. 5/28/09 10:25am Cecile:

there has to be a mixologists board or something out there, annie. NYC is going crazy experimental with cocktails.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:27am George Eliot:

she was telling me there are bars that only serve cocktails.. wow.. very specialized..

Thu. 5/28/09 10:28am Cecile:

you mean no beer or wine or straight shots?

Thu. 5/28/09 10:32am drunk right now:

From what I understand, these establishements will serve a liquor "neat," but not beer or wine.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:34am dc pat:

NO BEER!!! Travesty!

Thu. 5/28/09 10:36am Cecile:

well, hell.
then I'm screwed if I want a Shandy or a Black Velvet

Thu. 5/28/09 10:37am Pieter:

Hello Trouble, hello all !
missed most of the show thanks to meetings today ...

Thu. 5/28/09 10:38am George Eliot:

then there are places that serve only liqueurs.. way too complicated for me. glad she lives here and i have easy access.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:39am listener mark:

pet shop boys?

Thu. 5/28/09 10:40am Cecile:

this sounds so much like Al Stewart in a way.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:40am trouble:

hi pieter, better late than never...and there is always the archives.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:41am dc pat:

Cecile: I was thinking the same thing! very year-of-the-caty

Thu. 5/28/09 10:42am listener mark:

Yes, Pet Shop Boys.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:44am jeremy the listener:

good morning trouble and all

Thu. 5/28/09 10:45am Brian:

"Il jete son cri plaintif."
I know *just* what he means.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:47am Carmichael:

Good morning, Trouble and trouble-ees. Glad to see a few other Todd admirers out there. Have you heard Arena? It's back to Guitar Hero role for him.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:47am dc pat:

I'll say it again: GO BARCA!

Thu. 5/28/09 10:47am still b/p:

Tiata - shorthand for "there is always the archives." Can be delivered with triumphant & appreciative TA-DAAA punch -- TIATA! -- or resignedly, yadda-yadda fashion -- tiata, tiata, tiata.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:48am Cecile:

no, carm. Is it any good?

Thu. 5/28/09 10:50am Carmichael:

Cecile, it reminds me of classic Utopia, or maybe the more rockin' stuff from Something/Anything. Refreshing, especially after the friggin' Tango album he did.

Thu. 5/28/09 10:50am RichardRidden:

dig todays show... :)

Thu. 5/28/09 10:51am Cecile:

that sounds promising!

Thu. 5/28/09 10:53am Carmichael:

Ru-dy ..... a message to you .....

Thu. 5/28/09 10:57am dc pat:

the song should have been "drunk out of my mind" -- you guys see this? Hilarious: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article2078595.ece

Thu. 5/28/09 10:59am JCityJensen:

(((((NICE)))) the Duke Reid Group! Thanks Trouble!!!!!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:02am Parq:

Was away from my desk for a while -- re 10:30 to 10:40 conversation, my neighborhood bar is very specialized. They will serve you only if you are actually conscious.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:02am GP:

Is Jandek the guest singer on this ?

Thu. 5/28/09 11:04am Robert L:

What an incredible music playing! Thanks Trouble, I´m at work, you ease my hours!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:05am Cecile:

I actually really liked the ada moore cut.
It sounds like it's from the late 50s/early 60s. Like Dolphy/booker Little era. Any info on it, Trouble?

Thu. 5/28/09 11:06am triish:

'ease my hours'

Add to that, 'aurally delight mine'

Thu. 5/28/09 11:07am JCityJensen:

Oh theres my fat laces Adidas - under my coffee and next to my WOOFMOO shirt - sweet! see on the cardboard mat!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:11am trouble:

ada moore recorded that record in 1954 , with arrangements by charles mingus.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:11am Jonathan Steinke:

Breathtaking.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:12am George Eliot:

it's been wonderful music this morning... and having hatch next is quite the treat!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:12am Cecile:

thank you, trouble!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:14am Robert L:

Thank you for the music, it´s a great time!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:15am mb:

Thanks Trouble. Never new about that Tal Farlow date. I love the stuff he did with Red Norvo and Mingus.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:19am GP:

Thanks for the Scientist Trouble...this is just what I needed to hear this morning..some great dub mon...

Thu. 5/28/09 11:23am trouble:

now you all are making me blush, with all the hearty thank you's... thank you for listening!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:23am Robert L:

Troubke, malcolm mclaren is THE malcolm mclaren ?

Thu. 5/28/09 11:25am Carmichael:

aaah, I know this voice.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:25am trouble:

Thu. 5/28/09 11:25am dc pat:

Thu. 5/28/09 11:26am Robert L.:

Thanks again, Trouble

Thu. 5/28/09 11:26am George Eliot:

( <s> )

Thu. 5/28/09 11:27am DBinNYC:

Just picked up this album (marcio local) and must thank whomever on WFMU opened my ears to it

Thu. 5/28/09 11:27am dc pat:

oh yeah! I forgot the <s>

Thu. 5/28/09 11:28am George Eliot:

handy dandy feature it is.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:30am trouble:

Thu. 5/28/09 11:31am George Eliot:

it is the symbol we use to indicate we are being sarcastic..

Thu. 5/28/09 11:32am nasok:

Thu. 5/28/09 11:37am ahab:

Thu. 5/28/09 11:40am starbuck:

ok, everyone take it easy

Thu. 5/28/09 11:40am Harpoon:

Look out, you big blubbery target, you!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:41am George Eliot:

glad i'm just a lowly authour.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:41am queequeg:

I'm hungry.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:43am Cecile:

if you have that disc by my buds Salamander, "Bent Hemlock" it's a lot like this broken consort.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:46am Cecile:

she probably has 9000 other things goin' on
She doesn't jump into the comments all that much, GWW.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:46am Ishmael:

Call me . . . uh. wait a minute, I gotta check my notes.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:47am ishmael:

dangit, beat me to the punch, other Ishmael...

Thu. 5/28/09 11:48am Charles Dickens:

not ANOTHER fish story, Melville?

Thu. 5/28/09 11:49am harpoon:

damn, missed.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:49am ahab:

I lub not the land....and I tottle not the tea...

Thu. 5/28/09 11:49am Melville:

Call me Sam. Call me Benny. Call me Ralph. Call me Fred. Call me Max. Call me Rickie. Dang, I just can't seem to get this thing off the ground!

[wink to Garry L]

Thu. 5/28/09 11:50am the real Bartleby:

I'd prefer not to go whaling. Thanks.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:51am Ron Fields:

Whaling songs are the best!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:52am dc pat:

OH, a sailor goes to many places, any place he pleases, and he always remembers to wash his hands, so he don't get no diseases!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:53am postmanpaul:

i feel incredibly alert now!
hi trouble and listeners.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:54am Cecile:

I have to record my MiL singing filthy sea chanties. She is the BEST.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:54am Cecile:

hi, PMP!

Thu. 5/28/09 11:55am George Eliot:

PMP;;;; marnin'; well evenin'

Thu. 5/28/09 11:55am Carmichael:

Thu. 5/28/09 11:57am George Eliot:

show's over in two minutes GWW

Thu. 5/28/09 11:58am postmanpaul:

hi cecile, hope all is tutti fruitti in your neck of the woods.

Thu. 5/28/09 11:59am Cecile:

Thu. 5/28/09 11:59am Cecile:

Thu. 5/28/09 11:59am George Eliot:

i forgot... nice to see you

Thu. 5/28/09 12:04pm Ben VC:

Hell yeah, Willie. Sing it. There was a cool piece on Sound Opinions (I think) that talked about how he came to Austin as this 'classically' trained Nashville singer and put those Austin hippies on the map.

Fri. 5/29/09 12:13am rory:

really liked the grouper. reminiscent of old HNIA. saw her at the bellingham electronic arts festival about a month ago. enchanting.

Thu. 6/25/09 11:55am James:
