Playlist for This Is the Modern World with Trouble - July 23, 2009

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.

morning trouble!!!!! having a long day here so far. big bummer.

Thu. 7/23/09 9:05am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Happy Thursday, Trouble!

Thu. 7/23/09 9:07am From: trouble

good morning all! annie, hope your day is better from here on out...

Thu. 7/23/09 9:08am From: Parq

Love your quiet approach to mornings, Miss T. Annie, FB me and tell me what's up.

Thu. 7/23/09 9:10am From: annie

well, i hope so. seems like the pile is getting higher. been sick with the runs, the water pump shut down so no water. and trivial: i am not able to access my FB account. i guess i'm just having a weird 24 hours. saw "public enemies"; not such a bad flick. parq you will have to email me. i am not able to send any messages at all, not even clicking "like"!!!!

Thu. 7/23/09 9:12am From: Parq

Gah. Okay, will do.

Thu. 7/23/09 9:14am From: annie

trouble, if this is an inappropriate chat, please feel free to delete..

Thu. 7/23/09 9:16am From: Rob W

Oh, to be a fly on the wall in Dawn Zimmer's house right now...

Thu. 7/23/09 9:24am From: Parq

Wow, Liz's disc is getting even more play than Tom's "Ram" disc. I am smug to note, both are on my "getting" list.

Thu. 7/23/09 9:24am From: PMD

Sounds like Amanda!
morning all..

Thu. 7/23/09 9:25am From: PMD

Annie, so sorry. How can you call FB trivial though! ;-)
Eat bananas, rice, peanut butter. But I'm sure you know that.

Thu. 7/23/09 9:26am From: texas scott

morning,all.
be of good cheer,annie.
things will only get better from this moment forward.
happy friday eve!

Thu. 7/23/09 9:29am From: v k

morning T r o u b l e...always excited to be tuned-in...nothing drowns out the sound of copying machines, telepones and office chatter quite as nicely as your fine program

Thu. 7/23/09 9:29am From: annie

PMD: notsowisewoman at the yahoo thing. i know the thing about the foods, yeah, it's almost past. yes scott. i dig ya!! thanks.. i feel like sleeping still. isa was so good last night, she must have sensed i was ill, she stayed quiet and subdued and even went to bed at 7:30 with me..i let her sleep on the bed. she was nice dog comfort...

Thu. 7/23/09 9:35am From: dale

morning trouble...is your background music from Forbidden Planet? great sound design in that film.....

Thu. 7/23/09 9:35am From: dale

....or Robinson Crusoe on Mars?

Thu. 7/23/09 9:38am From: nasok

speaking of moon music, did you see this thing in the NYT about pink floyd's playing live to the original moon landing?
http://tinyurl.com/ldp69r

Thu. 7/23/09 9:39am From: ec

"Major corruption and international money laundering"

Nice!

Thu. 7/23/09 9:39am From: v k

pink floyd...i felt like i was on the moon when i saw pink floyd live at Vanderbilt Stadium in 1994...first concert ever...16 years old

Thu. 7/23/09 9:40am From: trouble

yes dale! good call. that soundtrack is the best, although i have never seen the movie, i need to search that out

Thu. 7/23/09 9:40am From: Katie

as a hobokenite from Detroit - might rival RI for corruption - seeing my mayor as the lead photo being lead from his home in handcuffs is bringing back childhood memories.

Thu. 7/23/09 9:45am From: dale

did the cowsills or free design write the theme for Barbarella?

Thu. 7/23/09 9:46am From: Bill W

I last saw "Forbidden Planet" at the ancient Loews Jersey City! In the 3-speaker PERSPECTO system.

I am off to the dentist, where they likely won't have moon music.

Thu. 7/23/09 9:46am From: ExRIer

Trouble, I think Buddy Cianci (former mayor of Providence and convicted felon) might have the same AM radio slot as you.

Thu. 7/23/09 9:50am From: trouble

yes! me and buddy: rivals! that is fab!

Thu. 7/23/09 9:53am From: Duke

Buddy Cianci WPRO AM
Monday - Friday: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
I prefer Trouble's show, better music and commentary.

Thu. 7/23/09 9:54am From: Emily

how did you know i was in the mood for reggae when I didn't even know! (guess that's why i love your show!)

Thu. 7/23/09 9:55am From: ExRier

Me too but has trouble ever accosted her spouse's lover with a burning log while a state trooper was posted outside? Just asking.

Thu. 7/23/09 9:56am From: em

buddy has his own marinara sauce though. but trouble does have a premium disc that i can't wait to hear.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:00am From: who?

who will risk his neck for his brotha-man?

Thu. 7/23/09 10:02am From: fishmonkeystew

Ahhh, yes, the fabled premiums. I'm beginning to wonder if my mail man swiped it.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:03am From: Parq

Miss T, I'm assuming that "Shaft" was a nod to Skip Pitts's titanic performance at the Pondo Stomp a week ago, broadcast live by His Spazzitude. If not intentionally so, it still works.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:03am From: Duke

I don't think Trouble did time in prison before getting her own shown either.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:06am From: postmanpaul

hi trouble, nice to hear shaft, fond memories of being a part-time roadie for the reformed 'fantastics' touring the northern working mens' clubs here once upon a time when i was at art college. they came on stage to this number and sans strobes but with me flicking the stage lights on and off 'till me wrist seized up! and thats a true story.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:11am From: trouble

post man paul, good to know about your varied past!. sounds like a movie to me...

Thu. 7/23/09 10:13am From: bruce

Ya gotta play "this land is your land" after GBA!

Thu. 7/23/09 10:14am From: Yankee Fan

I need to take a leak.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:14am From: Cecile

Annie, make some homemade rehydration drink (online) or drink some unflavored pedialyte. And seriously, after 3 days go to the doc.

Just had an awesome biscotti from Lon Gisland my boss brought me. Oh, man. We need a real Italian bakery out here.

Hi Trouble! Hi, everyone!

Thu. 7/23/09 10:15am From: Cecile

Mayor Healy, TELL IT!

Thu. 7/23/09 10:16am From: patrick

wish you where here!

Thu. 7/23/09 10:18am From: trouble

yes patrick, i agree.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:18am From: annie

morning cecile. thanks for the advice, it's almost over. still a bit queasy, but not running anymore, as it were.. i had thirst last night, and i don't usually drink alot of water. so, i did drink some seltzer. just chillin here so far, waiting for a plumber to call back..

Thu. 7/23/09 10:21am From: patrick

today is overcast and in the 60! plus im sure there is a lobster key chain with your name on it.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:23am From: Cecile

Good annie, glad it's passing. That stuff is nasty, it's sent me to the ER a couple of times.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:25am From: annie

i am generally one to let things run a course. and this seems to be a fine example.... just not at all hungry..

Thu. 7/23/09 10:31am From: Devin

Hello, every body.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:34am From: Carmichael

Good morning Trouble and everyone.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:35am From: Ne-guh-tor

I don't need no speed, but weed.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:36am From: texas scott

what's up,Devin? Carmichael?
welcome to the modern world.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:36am From: trouble

and i am a fan of the lobster as man's best friend. p erhaps we should explain this thread. listener patrick and I were trying to cook up a live remote from portland ME this morning, but i just couldn't get it all together last minute...

Thu. 7/23/09 10:36am From: trouble

and a second round of good mornings to everyone!

Thu. 7/23/09 10:37am From: annie

trouble, that sounds great!!!! too bad it fell out, though. morning carm..

Thu. 7/23/09 10:38am From: Devin

Hey Scott,.. so this is what the modern world is like...

Thu. 7/23/09 10:38am From: Cecile

this is pretty great, I'm not used to hearing the Staples Singers so secular....and sensual

Thu. 7/23/09 10:42am From: GP

Morning Trouble and all....Annie...get better soon. Do what Cecile says.
Postman Paul, the light switch thing has me cracking up...been there.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:42am From: Parq

Yes, the NYS Legis is off the front page! Annie, I woud also stress that you shouldn't go too long without consulting the medical-industrialist complex.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:45am From: Parq

WSJ (official motto: "We hate government corruption and want it left to the private sector where it belongs") reports that arrests are expected to continue through this afternoon. Newark Airport must be a madhouse right now.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:45am From: annie

morning gp- i'm just gonna sit here on the group w bench. drink fluids and relax. the only fluid, unfortunately is seltzer, which i really hate, but it's fluid. and i've had my coffee.. i promise you parq, if i feel this way this afternoon, then i will make that call. my friend joan in oneonta is amazing, and she treats people for free, if need be. so tell me a good website to read the details of this sting.. anyone?

Thu. 7/23/09 10:47am From: texas scott

yes Devin,it's not just a dream.it's true

trouble has magical powers.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:50am From: annie

speaking of robbery and corruption i saw public enemies yesterday. depp is not too shabby..

Thu. 7/23/09 10:50am From: Devin

Scott,.. the kind of powers that make me dance in the middle of my office, seated in a chair.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:51am From: Carmichael

That synth line reminds me of 25 or 6 to 4.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:54am From: texas scott

yep,that's part of her spell,
to dance quietly in your chair.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:58am From: Cecile

I hate Microsoft Word worse than procurement today.
Procurement hooked a sista up, so they are cool.

Thu. 7/23/09 10:59am From: Cecile

Trouble - Flight of the Conchords 2nd season CD out October 20.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:01am From: GP

Annie..here is the story..don't know much else about it:
http://tiny.cc/youtalkintome

Thu. 7/23/09 11:01am From: Cecile

Hey, annie, did Isa start howling at those last notes? ;)

Thu. 7/23/09 11:02am From: Carmichael

Cecile, let me know what you need, procurement-wise. I know a guy who knows a guy. I'm just sayin' ...

Thu. 7/23/09 11:02am From: trouble

merci bien, cecile. I moved it up to the top of my netflix queue in anticipation of this holy moment

Thu. 7/23/09 11:03am From: Cecile

That's the DVD. That's out AUGUST 4!!!!!!!!

The actual CD is going to be released a little later. So no more crappy YouTube versions of season 2 songs for me... and you and you and you

Thu. 7/23/09 11:03am From: annie

no, cecile, she cocked her head and did that cute dog thing: huh??.. thanks for the link gp!!

Thu. 7/23/09 11:04am From: 55mm

Yes Depp is his usual great self but my problem with PE, aside from the unsteady cam, was the soundtrack. Sure there's Billie and that's fine but what's with that modernized electric guitar folkie thing going on in a film showing life in the '30's(not to mention Krall's updated 'Blackbird')? Threw me off somewhat.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:05am From: Cecile

55mm I hate non period music in a period film unless it's really unique. Doesn't sound like it is.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:07am From: FotC

Trent, you've got in going on.
Not in a gay way, just in a hey I want to say that you're looking okay way.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:10am From: Parq

My own opin is that "Public Es" was very good for what it was -- a whoelly conventional, big-budget, big-studio Hollywood ganster movie, breaking zero new ground and offering zero variants or upgrades on the genre's standards. I like strange movies, thank you.

Annie, Google-news "New Jersey" and all of the first hits will be about the arrests.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:11am From: annie

55mm, i agree with you!! i thought the song just didn't fit at that speed. just an excuse to get them slowdancing.. and tag it at the end.. pitiful.. and if i recall, i really don't know this for a fact, but wasn't billie holiday kind-of kept out of the mainstream? like radio?

Thu. 7/23/09 11:13am From: Carmichael

Speaking of Johnny Depp and wierd film music, I'll always remember Neil Young's super-echo electric guitar soundtrack to Dead Man. Put the icing on the whole bizarro cake.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:15am From: annie

great flick, really great flick...i think that was setting a mood as opposed to trying to find "period" tunes for an "historical" film

Thu. 7/23/09 11:22am From: stingy d

whats up pies?

Thu. 7/23/09 11:24am From: Parq

I suspect that the Krall track and similar tracks were put in simply because they're popular. For every person who says "Diane Krall? Isn't that kind of an anachronism?", there are four or five (or more) who say "Ooh, Diane Krall, I LUVVVV Diane Krall, she's SO-O-O beautiful!" and like that. These guys are running a business, after all.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:25am From: stingy d

gotta diane before ya krall. damn fine pie!

Thu. 7/23/09 11:28am From: lilsis

Good Morning Trouble, late in joining this morning . Cant get motivated post JB Live

Thu. 7/23/09 11:29am From: annie

it's really all about making a movie and paying the actors... etc, etc.... exposure. etc.. publicity, etc.. i'm gonna go nap now.. see y'all later.. for fabio maybe or mid-scott

Thu. 7/23/09 11:30am From: HotRod

Good morning, Ms. Trouble. :)

Thu. 7/23/09 11:32am From: Carmichael

I have about a 10 second tolerance for Diana Krall. Muzak.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:33am From: trouble

hey lil sis! Hey hot rod!

Thu. 7/23/09 11:34am From: chris

Really nice music this morning. Thanks...

Thu. 7/23/09 11:35am From: trouble

your welcome chris, thanks for the good words.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:39am From: HotRod

I find the visual hilarious as well. This is REALLY hilarious: http://videos.nj.com/star-ledger/2009/07/hoboken_mayor_peter_cammarano.html

Oh, and I'm enjoying the mic break background noise.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:42am From: Carmichael

I'm hoping that the big NJ bust can happen here as well. We need a big cleanout of our pols.

And I'm thoroughly enjoying little claw's full frontal assault.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:48am From: stingy d

oh SLICE! this is my dude! svenoniuos! gospel yeh yeh!! it lives!

Thu. 7/23/09 11:51am From: Marshall Stacks

Whatever else you say about her, Diana Krall has good taste in husbands.

The FBI somehow never touched Willie Brown when he was CA Assembly Speaker. I'm not sure if our current legislative crop is corrupt or merely inept.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:53am From: Carmichael

Now we're talking. This is the most amazing find for me in a decade. Thanks to FMU for turning me on to Odessa!

Thu. 7/23/09 11:54am From: stingy d

i was gonna say basically the same thing carmichael. i have seen odessa a million times and debated buying it 3/4's of those times. but i never did it. now i never see it anymore! in due time tho.

Thu. 7/23/09 11:54am From: dale

I never knew this was the bee gees. close your eyes and you'd think it was a poco-ish southern cal band or something like that (better, obviously).

Thu. 7/23/09 11:55am From: Carmichael

I finally found it in a used CD place. I petted the velvety cover for a long time, I was so happy.

Thu. 7/23/09 12:01pm From: Cecile

lovely show, Trouble!

Sat. 7/25/09 4:17am From: Erik

Digging the archive! Thanks for another great show!
