Funny, this doesn't sound like Lindsay Wagner.

Thu. 8/20/09 9:22am From: trouble

good morning to all, and merry thursday.

Thu. 8/20/09 9:25am From: Listener Dave from NH

This Missing Brazilians track is pretty fantastic. I think a bit of dub was just what the doctor ordered.

Thu. 8/20/09 9:25am From: dale

my sleep number is an 18.

just had to look up anne hutchinson....interesting person, I'll have to read more but i'm driving up to albany soon to buy an antique jointer, so it's the modern world until i hit poughkeepsie or so. then it's anyone's likely classic rock (whatever that is) country or sermonizing.

Thu. 8/20/09 9:26am From: dale

anyone's GUESS - likely....

Thu. 8/20/09 9:27am From: cordesc

Thu. 8/20/09 9:34am From: Webhamster Henry

Thu. 8/20/09 9:35am From: sugarwolf

good morning trouble
good morning annie
Does that make you a Jezebel annie?

Thu. 8/20/09 9:39am From: em

dale, in regards to good radio in the hudson valley, i second george's recommendation of wvkr (vassar college radio). if you like folky stuff, check out wkze, which is 92.something.

Thu. 8/20/09 9:40am From: annie

i can't even count how many times her story was a bedtime ritual...

Thu. 8/20/09 9:40am From: annie

mark i prefer ANNA-bel

Thu. 8/20/09 9:42am From: listener mark

That the problem with this country, not enough Jezebels.

How 'bout Tinker...?

Thu. 8/20/09 9:54am From: fidel

great show today, trouble! these 7"s are just right for this hot morning.

Thu. 8/20/09 9:57am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

I used to dig the Plastic Bertrand version of this song back in the late 70s. WNEW played it all the time.

Thu. 8/20/09 9:57am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Got any Tom Robinson Band?

Thu. 8/20/09 9:59am From: annie

back in the days when radio was radio!!! even back to the 60s, when radio played so much great stuff, i recall hearing ramblin jack elliot on kbw..tim kelly, one of my all-time fave djs..

Thu. 8/20/09 10:01am From: Brian

Here's a shout out to the Ann Arbor Trouble Contingent. Greetings from Madison.

Mais oui ! Madison, Wisconsin.
"Très bavard," said the bird man. C'est moi !

Thu. 8/20/09 10:10am From: trouble

rock on madison and ann arbor!

Thu. 8/20/09 10:16am From: dragonflyshards

Dum Dum -'remember NEW playing sexpistols,then Devo,then n advert for the US army?!..and the morning guy(Dennis Elsis?) playing"Oliver's army"by Elvis Costello,then saying"I dont know what he's so angry about."!...'Remember WPIX? -True punks...for minute..then,"Love songs...Nothing -but Love songs"..(that's when WFMU became my only.)

Thu. 8/20/09 10:20am From: dragonflyshards

(p.s.)Hi,Trouble! Thank you for the Anne Hutchenson moment.

Thu. 8/20/09 10:22am From: trouble

hi there, and your welcome.

Thu. 8/20/09 10:24am From: Carmichael

Good morning Trouble and fellow Audiophiles.

Thu. 8/20/09 10:26am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

dragonflyshards - WPIX was all over the map, from what I remember - but not in a good way. I have a stronger memory of Dave Herman as the WNEW morning jock. As for when WNEW jumped the shark, I more or less started to drift away after Alison Steele left.

Thu. 8/20/09 10:29am From: Parq

Dragon, I always thought that PIX was way-overrated. They played only the biggest hits by the most mainstream punk-and-new-wave, and their attitude of self-congratulation got on my nerves. But I agree with you about 'NEW, which sought out anything at all that they could play in order to avoid playing even the most accessible punk-and-new-wave. For me the last straw was when 'NEW began running a TV commercial with a naked blonde announcing "I've got nothing on at all -- except WNEW where Rock Lives!" Clearchannel itself couldn't do better.

Thu. 8/20/09 10:33am From: annie

it was a sad day for me when whfs out of bethesda stopped their free-form style. lost of pissed off deejays that day

Thu. 8/20/09 10:38am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Annie - Tell me about it. DC has no real college radio to speak of so when WHFS bit the dust, there was not much pickins left. This was before satellite and internet radio. The local Pacifica station, WPFW, was the only thing I could listen to. Oh, also bluegrass on WAMU, that they have since booted in favor of talk. Sigh....

Thu. 8/20/09 10:39am From: dragonflyshards

-AtTheGatesOfDawn -i think it was Dave Herman...(PIX)-When i say"minute",it really was just a couple months...it was as if pirates had siezed the station.-.Parq-You may be right-i was quite youn,& o me it was very exciting...Iggy,WreklessEric,MC5,Devo & Clash(before they both sucked)etc-i was escping zep & floyd-&NEW's"Bruce juice"-& "2 for tuesday",etc!

Thu. 8/20/09 10:41am From: dragnflyshards

(orry for the typos-bad eyboard)

Thu. 8/20/09 10:42am From: annie

dumdum, did you listen regularly? we were addicted.. weasel is till around, but some of those djs... well.. that last day was intense.. the music was incredible, bittersweet. angry.. each flavour according to the particular dj. and lee michael dempsey is doing some internet radio thing. we were good friends. i loved that old man on saturday mornings on pfw, the blues guy..

Thu. 8/20/09 10:43am From: texas scott

this magenta loops are are? is? awesome

Thu. 8/20/09 10:44am From: Parq

Dragn, in fairness, I've never met anyone else who disliked the punk-and-new-wave PIX. Just my cranky attitude, I suppose. But that was the point where I turned to FMU -- 30 years ago this month, come to think of it. I also dug the more standard college-radio fair that the Montclair State station (WMSC) was putting out.

Thu. 8/20/09 10:47am From: Trapper

I wish I had an exciting life like the Bionic Woman. Or like the Bionic Woman had in the 1970's. What's she doing now?

Thu. 8/20/09 10:47am From: dc pat

"whan MEELLeeon dollahz"

Thu. 8/20/09 10:48am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Annie - Jerry Washington - the Bama Hour on WPFW. Never missed it. Lee Michael Dempsey - GET OUT! He was my favorite on WAMU. The day I stopped giving money to WAMU was the day they took his noon to 3 folk music show off the air in favor of more talk BS. I still check him out on bluegrasscountry.com from time to time, which is also on WAMU HD2 if you have HD radio.

Have you been stalking me? LOL

Thu. 8/20/09 10:48am From: Trapper

I often wonder about 'the point where people turned' to FMU. I think of myself as being from 'Bongwater Time.'

Thu. 8/20/09 10:49am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Annie - Damian and some of the old HFS crew went out to WRNR in Annapolis for a while, but a check of the WRNR website reveals most of the old crowd is gone.

Thu. 8/20/09 10:49am From: still b/p

If "bionic" connotes enhanced capability, greater effectiveness and power, this funny production is anti-bionic. ("Too much slick entertainment in my diet, so my doctor prescribed a course of antibionics.")

Thu. 8/20/09 10:51am From: Carmichael

I'm waiting for Jack Cassidy to come in.

Thu. 8/20/09 10:51am From: dragonflyshards

"munnay"

Thu. 8/20/09 10:52am From: Trapper

I hope everyone is visualizing those Bionic Leaps!

Thu. 8/20/09 10:52am From: cordesc

Too much antibionics are the problem these days.... you need to take some probionics to help maintain normal balance!

Thu. 8/20/09 10:53am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

bluegrasscountry.org - sorry

Thu. 8/20/09 10:53am From: texas scott

you can find Bionic Woman on Wonderland records.

Thu. 8/20/09 10:53am From: dc pat

HAHAHAHhahahahah...

Thu. 8/20/09 10:54am From: dc pat

that was great, thanks trouble. Why don't they play bionic woman records on WAMU dammit?

Thu. 8/20/09 10:55am From: still b/p

...and I can get beneficial probionics if I consume the right showgurt?

Thu. 8/20/09 10:56am From: annie

dumdum, i wish i could get a playlist for the last day of broadcast.. any idea how to do that? i've emailed weasel a couple times, no reply at all..

Thu. 8/20/09 10:57am From: dragonflyshards

...in honour of Anne Hutchinson's bionic leaps.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:08am From: Cheri Pi

Alceu Valenca & Geraldo Azevedo! One of my favorite reishes.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:11am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Taking a break from work to check the news. Best headline re Rep. Frank: "Barney: I don't love you, you don't love me".

Thu. 8/20/09 11:17am From: annie

dumdum, wow!! guess alot of people were askin about it.. did you know which dj started his show with a heavy beat riff. very intense. he played the entire tune with a female vocalist as the first song of the show that day.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:20am From: Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn

Annie - I am finally stumped (chagrined).

Thu. 8/20/09 11:21am From: trouble

i much prefer the barney frank retort to on of those crazy hollering hired nut jobs: "on what planet do you spend most of your time?"

Thu. 8/20/09 11:24am From: Carmichael

Out-of-tune space banjo. Interesting .....

Thu. 8/20/09 11:30am From: dc pat

yeah, it was really refreshing to hear sense coming out of Frank in the face of all the nut-jobs. Why aren't more of the Dumocrats doing this? They have to stand up to all the hired hands and get the one liners into the news..

Thu. 8/20/09 11:31am From: Parq

I don't think the "Nazi" constituent was GOP-hired. She was a follower of Lyndon LaRouche; they have a national campaign to call Obama's health plan Nazi. Fox, while hammering Barney of course, also excoriated the questioner and compared LaRouchites to cockroaches.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:32am From: still b/p

Until the vocal started, the riff sounded like this was going to be an interesting cover of Steveie Wonder's "Too High".

Thu. 8/20/09 11:35am From: drgonflyshards

'time t work. Thanks,Trouble, all...till then.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:36am From: annie

i actually like some of what larouche has to say, but he just gets weird for me. and some of his followers are just way too far out there.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:36am From: dc pat

annie, cut it out.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:37am From: Carmichael

The Repubs seem to going through a catharsis presently. When the country club types started calling themselves moderates and held the neo-cons at arm's length, it seems the nutjob faction of the neocons decided to "take action". Alcoa is profiting most, as they can't make enough tinfoil to meet current hat demands. The GOP is shattered.

She-doobie ........

Thu. 8/20/09 11:37am From: annie

fine, then.. :)

Thu. 8/20/09 11:41am From: Laurie

I loooooooove Barney Frank now.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:42am From: Joe Steele

Poor Senators...that sounds funny.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:43am From: dc pat

I jus' keeding!

Thu. 8/20/09 11:44am From: kathryn

Watched "Sicko" last night. Sad.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:45am From: dc pat

ha, good one Carm! "hat demands"..

Thu. 8/20/09 11:48am From: Chris

Good for Barney. So tired of the wingnut zombies parroting talking points they don't even understand.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:50am From: Carmichael

I took a chance on Royksopp after hearing the GEICO commercial song. Pulsating, ambient stuff, different than everything else on my iPod.

Thu. 8/20/09 11:50am From: v k

politics is show-biz on a different set

Thu. 8/20/09 11:55am From: annie

wonderful show today trouble...

Thu. 8/20/09 11:57am From: trouble

thanks annie!

Thu. 8/20/09 11:57am From: Sur

Oh, Trouble, you've done it again! I just tuned in, and a day that was looking down, has turned right around by the sound of a soft French boy voice followed now by some way-cool CUMBIA!!! YAYYYYY, CUMBIAAAAAAAAH! I'm up and dancing! Keep it coming!

Thu. 8/20/09 11:58am From: Carmichael

Thanks Trouble. We'll talk about religion next week to lighten the mood .....
