morning trouble.
singles going modern?

Thu. 10/22/09 9:06am trouble:

good morning...I am trying to be modern and retro at the same time...we will see how this works.

Thu. 10/22/09 9:08am Pieter:

Good morning Trouble!

Thu. 10/22/09 9:09am texas scott:

i'm sure it will be compelling and beautiful as always.

Thu. 10/22/09 9:09am Bad Ronald:

Wouldn't that be postmodern?

Thu. 10/22/09 9:13am Adrian in London:

Postmanpaul: are you on strike?

Thu. 10/22/09 9:15am annie:

see, i knew that would happen... morning trouble. sorry to bug you..

Thu. 10/22/09 9:21am ao:

Whoa, was that a RECORD SKIPPING?

Thu. 10/22/09 9:22am dc pat:

I wish I was on strike...always..

Thu. 10/22/09 9:22am annie:

it sure was, ao, and wasn't it a joyous sound!??

Thu. 10/22/09 9:22am trouble:

oh yeah, there will more of that i can assure you

Thu. 10/22/09 9:23am dc pat:

I wish I was skipping...

Thu. 10/22/09 9:32am JCityJensen:

Great Morning - thanks Trouble!

Thu. 10/22/09 9:34am Adrian in London:

I got my Je t'aime seven in Folkestone, UK. Anyone else?

Thu. 10/22/09 9:36am fern:

Love this! I have this single, too. Wonderful cover.

Thu. 10/22/09 9:38am annie:

this is where the organizer in me would do this to those cumbersome things, trouble: a rod placed on a plywood square, for however high you want the stack to be. i'd organize those puppies alphabetically by artist and separate them with paper spacers to show the beginning and end of each section.. ok, i'm done.. back to breakfast..

Thu. 10/22/09 9:40am dc pat:

POP GROUP!! yes, baby, alright!

Thu. 10/22/09 9:41am dc pat:

I wish I was poppy....

Thu. 10/22/09 9:42am Chris - Bristol:

Talking of breakfast: a toast rack would suit your purposes quite well.

Thu. 10/22/09 9:45am texas scott:

pssst..trouble,you're leaning on the turntable.

Thu. 10/22/09 9:46am trouble:

a toast rack! yes one of those fab little brit ones! i love those...

Thu. 10/22/09 9:46am dc pat:

hey annie: do you throw things like brown paper bags in your compost? I just did...

Thu. 10/22/09 9:47am joerg:

is it turntable problems or is it some annoying software Ken has found to make a recording sound warped?

Thu. 10/22/09 9:49am trouble:

ccmon now veteran wfmu listeners. i am playing with the speed on the TT...

Thu. 10/22/09 9:49am dc pat:

it's not sticking the plastic yellow thing in the 45

Thu. 10/22/09 9:51am annie:

pat, i have to joys of the woodstove! i use things like that to start the morning fire... around here they have banned burn barrels, so most people are just announcing that they will continue to use burn barrels or throw stuff in the woodstove.. i'm an advocate of safe incineration over landfills.

Thu. 10/22/09 9:52am dc pat:

ah yeah, that's the way to be..oh well, can't have one of those in my dinky row house...

Thu. 10/22/09 9:53am trs:

it sounded like a fine song by "heer'b aaalLpe^rt`"

Thu. 10/22/09 9:54am annie:

bummer pat... they are a comfort, for sure.

Thu. 10/22/09 9:59am Mr. SpellCheck:

reviens

merci!

Thu. 10/22/09 9:59am stingy d:

my new favorite speed-on-the-turntable game to play involves serato! and it makes things sound demented!

Thu. 10/22/09 10:00am Adrian in London:

God, this is great! Zut!

Thu. 10/22/09 10:01am trouble:

merci!

Thu. 10/22/09 10:06am krexus:

dc pat: I compost brown bags all the time (and newspaper) I find they are a great source of 'dry browns' - especially if you're like me and you don't have a lot of leaves or grass.

Thu. 10/22/09 10:08am dc pat:

krexus: ok, thanks. I haven't read anything about composting in about 15 years so forgot what was acceptable

Thu. 10/22/09 10:18am trouble:

hey peeps what was the wildest single you heard this week?

Thu. 10/22/09 10:24am C:

probably that creepy thing ken played with that kid talking to "ambrose". yikes

Thu. 10/22/09 10:24am Chris - Bristol:

I am embarrassed to admit that I only just discovered your station a few days ago (the shame of it)!. There was a crazy single called "strokin'" played yesterday which blew my mind.

Thu. 10/22/09 10:24am dc pat:

that would be the abba tune you're playing

Thu. 10/22/09 10:24am annie:

pat, i've always relied on rodale : http://www.compost-bin.org/the-rodale-book-of-composting/

Thu. 10/22/09 10:25am texas scott:

ken played a 7" by skeeter davis."we need a lot more jesus"
that was strange.

Thu. 10/22/09 10:28am dc pat:

yeah, I have Pay Dirt in my library which I think is one of Rodale's earliest works..

Thu. 10/22/09 10:28am trouble:

chris from bristol, no embarrassment needed. we welcome all newcomers and old. bristol england or bristol RI?

Thu. 10/22/09 10:32am Cheri Pi:

I agree, the Strokin' single really had my attention.

Thu. 10/22/09 10:32am Chris - Bristol:

Bristol in England. Supposed to be looking for a new job although your station is causing much distraction but pleasure at the same time!

Thu. 10/22/09 10:35am GP:

Good morning to all of my minions ! <oops, wrong speech>
ahemm

Good morning Trouble and world.

Welcome Chris From Bristol!

Thu. 10/22/09 10:41am jaypee:

Good morning all.

Trouble, what's the bird call going on in the background right now? I heard those things all the time in Ontario and couldn't figure them out.

Thu. 10/22/09 10:43am dc pat:

ick.

Thu. 10/22/09 10:48am trouble:

sorry jaypee there is no way i can id the calls, they are not listed, and they are from varied birds.

Thu. 10/22/09 10:49am dc pat:

HEY, are the bird calls on 45s??

Thu. 10/22/09 10:51am trouble:

the bird calls are on a 10" record, the rarest of the odd vinyl family. why won't someone grve them their own week long run?

Thu. 10/22/09 10:51am jaypee:

trouble, Oh well, it'll have to remain a mystery! Thanks!

dc pat, ooooo busted!

Thu. 10/22/09 10:55am dc pat:

wellllll,,,, 10" is alright I guess....

Thu. 10/22/09 10:56am GP:

This New York song has started a dance party in my office. There is smoke and strobes........<at least in my mind>

Thanks trouble.

Thu. 10/22/09 10:58am Cecile:

morning!

Thu. 10/22/09 10:59am postmodernmanpaul:

hello troublesome and everyone in this cookie parallel universe that is wfmu!
adrian in london - yeah, its a lay-in for me tomorrow, which means i've got extra bed time until 08.30!!!......until the gas boiler repair man arrives. wee hee

Thu. 10/22/09 11:03am trouble:

good morning postman paul and all of the lovely UK. i just want you to know that I had my coffee out of a queen Elizabeth prince phillip mug this morning. can you feel it in the air?

Thu. 10/22/09 11:04am Carmichael:

Mornin' Trouble and fellow Woof Moo-ers.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:04am Adrian in London:

Oh, I'd forgotten how good this song is (Colourbox). Paul, shouldn't you be out by a brazier, wearing shorts and a tabard?!

Thu. 10/22/09 11:06am Carmichael:

Doron, the WMP stream is still down. Is there an ongoing problem?

Thu. 10/22/09 11:09am carmichael:

It shouldnt be but it looks like it just took a dip. I have it back up. Might need to take it offline for a sec in a few mins to double check something.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:10am dc pat:

yeah 10" week would be impossible and it would suck.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:11am dc pat:

the only good 10 inches I have are: Husker Du "8 miles high", Clash "Black Market", and the Ex "Dead Fish"

Thu. 10/22/09 11:12am Carmichael:

Doron, I assume that was you posting as me. Thanks for checking it out!

Thu. 10/22/09 11:13am Laurie:

Oh, I thought I heard a fake cockney accent! Oh, Kate Mosh, you silly mockney twat.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:14am Laurie:

Did I just call Kate Nash Kate Mosh? I don't know. I mean, I know, but I don't know what's going with synapses misfiring.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:16am PKNY:

I love me some Freda Payne. But everytime I hear the intro to this song, I think it's "Strong Island" by JVC Force.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:19am GP:

Laurie,
So you are saying she is faking it then?

Thu. 10/22/09 11:23am postmodernmanpaul:

trouble! notwithstanding that it should have been english breakfast tea...yes, yes i can feel it! you closet monarchist you!!!
adrian - unfortunately i will not be replete with fluorescent tabard and placard on picket duty tomorrow because we are big wuss's down here in brighton preferring to console ourselves in beckoning inns of ill repute!

Thu. 10/22/09 11:24am C:

about a year ago i found a secos album that looked fairly recent. it was an updated cover from their first album with everyone's head coming out of the table. however, i don't think the original singer was on this album. did they reform a few years ago and put out something without him?

Thu. 10/22/09 11:26am Carmichael:

PMP, stick it to The Man (or "The Chap", if you will)! I'm sipping away at my Harney's Irish Breakfast tea and urging you on.

You have nothing to lose but your chains.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:26am Carmichael:

This sounds like a French version of Caravan.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:26am doron:

real + windows media + ogg people. you are going to get knocked off for a minute. sorry. we'll be right back.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:28am Laurie:

I think I've bought more a few records from Wolmar in Record Fairs past...

Thu. 10/22/09 11:34am postmodernmanpaul:

carmichael! - you in the land of earl grey and pink by any chance?!!! hee hee!!!

Thu. 10/22/09 11:38am annie:

i do like winamp.... just sayin..

Thu. 10/22/09 11:40am Adrian in London:

PP: ah Brighton. I was down there last Sunday, seeing Spymonkey at the Corn Exchange. It's like some old church hall!

Thu. 10/22/09 11:42am Mr. SpellCheck:

umm, brigitte?

Thu. 10/22/09 11:43am dc pat:

anybody else bummed that Ireland got stuck with France in the World Cup playoffs?

Thu. 10/22/09 11:49am Cecile:

No, but I am happy with them for nuturing the talent of Rodriigo y Gabriela who were phenomenal Saturday night.

Probably BIlly Jam is...

Thu. 10/22/09 11:49am PMD:

darn, I've missed most of Trouble. guess that's why there's archives...

Thu. 10/22/09 11:49am Alex:

I just have to say, this is one of my favorite songs ever - I actually don't like most of the rest of the album I have which contains this song, but this one is in my top 10 list - however it is "Olhos Coloridos" not Corridos" - which would be "running eyes"

Thu. 10/22/09 11:51am PMD:

Chris in Bristol - yeah, that single blew my mind too. Ken's show in general tends to do that.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:54am ?:

There was a diner under the West Side Highway at 125th Street (West Side Diner, I think) back in the mid-80's that had a jukebox with Clarence Carter singles on it and I fondly remember getting nasty looks from the waitress very late one night / early one monring when I put Strokin' on - gotta love that part about "you sister will"!

Thu. 10/22/09 11:54am postmodernmanpaul:

carmichael - is this the chap you speak of?
www.thechap.net
adrian - i missed spymonkey but after viewing on utube will def look out for them next time theyre naked in this neck of the woods!

Thu. 10/22/09 11:54am Chris - Bristol:

It made me feel slightly violated, but in a good way.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:56am Cecile:

This Jorge Ben song is great.
I take it this is a big satirical, the way they're singing some of the lines?

Thu. 10/22/09 11:57am GP:

PMD, Chris, wait then, that wasn't an instructional record?

ooops

Thu. 10/22/09 11:57am PMD:

Oh my. Hearing that in a diner would REALLY blow my mind.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:57am Carmichael:

PMP, that's too funny! You don't see those fine upstanding gentlemen in the Land of Grey and Pink.

Thu. 10/22/09 11:59am Carmichael:

That soccer song Jorge Ben did was wonderful. I think the English translation was "Goalie Man".

Thu. 10/22/09 11:59am dc pat:

I think Billy Childish wins Chap of the Century hands down

Thu. 10/22/09 12:00pm GP:

I don't even collect records but I so want to go now that it has been hyped up so much. Wish I lived closer.

Thanks Wolmar for some awesome music choices.
