	♥ 9:02am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:03am MD: I fully stand for modern conveniences!!!
	9:06am jameson 57: Oh my, Mary Lattimore is so good. So very good. I'm floating
	♥ 9:06am Rock Ridge Chess Club: Trouble always gets me moving. And with today's task being out on the roof, this slow tune is the perfect pace. Peace
	♥ 9:07am Pale Son: Mary Lattimore and Hilma Af Klint! What could be better? Good morning!
	9:07am riley: Good morning! Asheville clear as a pale blue bell.
	♥ 9:07am Zipperhead7: Good morning Trouble and Modernists! Weather is supposed to be beautiful this weekend
	♥ 9:09am Trouble: good morning thursday people!
	♥ 9:09am TDK60: Hello Trouble. I'll be mopping my cassette castle soon, to these sounds.
	9:09am andywing: Good windy fire watch morning!
	9:10am Robm: Good morning fellow trouble makers
	♥ 9:10am Lixiviated Life: Hello trouble & listeners, Some days a person finds exactly what they need on this station. Today is one of those days. I will need more of whatever you're playing.
	♥ 9:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Trouble and trouble-seekers. I predict a mild, sunny day for Saturday's birding event.
	♥ 9:12am Handy Haversack: Ken, are you going to drive down for it? Wish I could make it! Too much going on this weekend to be on the subway at 6 AM.
	♥ 9:12am Marley P. Dogg: Hello trouble and troubled souls
	9:14am Lucky: Nice Prez tone with a more modern approach...
	♥ 9:15am YETI BOB: I can hear that, Lucky. The inventor of "cool". Hi everyone.
	♥ 9:15am Fredericks: This Yannick Rieu/generation quartet is quite lovely.
	♥ 9:16am TDK60: Handy, I'm too busy to get to K8's benefit gig this weekend (though I support the cause.)
	♥ 9:16am Fredericks: Three pieces in and I already favorited the episode.
	♥ 9:17am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, I'm planning on it, Handy. Want for me to swing through upper Brooklyn and pick you up?
	♥ 9:18am RevErie: first time listening, enjoying the sounds!
	♥ 9:18am TDK60: I have to miss the Jersey Meadow birding meet-up too. I hope there will be others.
	♥ 9:19am Handy Haversack: That's really kind of you, Ken! But it's too far out of your way. I have a show Fri. night, and K8's big benefit concert is Sat. night, so it seems like it's just bad timing for me. I will invite everyone birding on Newtown Creek later this summer! Hope to see you soon, TDK60!
	♥ 9:22am YETI BOB: RevErie: Welcome!
	♥ 9:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe I could just pick up Bagpipe for the outing. Haha.
	9:24am rx scabin: @RevErie from now on, you can never change the station.
	♥ 9:25am YETI BOB: This program is the high point of my radio week. And that's saying a lot because there's a lot of GREAT programs on this station!
	♥ 9:25am RevErie: @rx scabin I could live with that
	♥ 9:26am Rich in Washington: This is amazing!
	♥ 9:27am Zipperhead7: I wonder what kind of processor the sax is running through?
	♥ 9:27am Dave_G: @YetiBob -- Mine too! Thursday mornings have become something to look forward to.
	9:29am Strandlund: I agree Yeti Bob...I'm always hitting the archives for this show!!
	♥ 9:30am βrian: Does one need to wear white gloves when visiting the archives?
	♥ 9:33am melinda: good morning modern worldists
	9:33am Strandlund: @ βrian...it would be the nice thing to do...
	9:35am rx scabin: I always wear white gloves when listening except for Fool's Paradise. Then the gloves are rubber.
	♥ 9:36am βrian: That way, we wont smudge the uncial script on the vellum of the liner notes!
	♥ 9:38am βrian: Did he mention "La pie jacasse ?"
	♥ 9:40am DjLorraine: Good morning bird song lovers, We, Oui
	9:40am Reno D: Only 30 years?! What was Jean-Claude doing the other 61 years?
	9:40am Strandlund: Just make sure to put the show back where you found it in the archives...if you put it back, out of place, Ken gets really upset...
	♥ 9:42am Dave_G: I love this! More French liguistics nerdism!
	♥ 9:42am Erin in TO: As a Canadian, I'm going to just throw it out there that we have at least 2 major French variations - there's Quebecois French, but also Acadian French. Acadian is closer to European French
	♥ 9:44am Pale Son: I think that Rieu record is put out by Yari Productions.
	♥ 9:46am Trouble: i had no idea @ erin in TO! merci@ pale son
	♥ 9:47am Pale Son: De rien.
	♥ 9:47am Erin in TO: @Trouble I only know that because I did French immersion as a kid, and we learned Acadian French, so when you get to Quebec you still can't understand anyone
	9:47am Andres: Good morning, Trouble and birds! All of my French teachers (here in Canaduh) were, as a group, the most passionate about the subject they taught. Partly why it was amongst my favourite subjects. Pronunciation lesson appreciated. :)
	♥ 9:47am PizzaWolf: is anyone else still waiting on swag from the fundraiser? the weather is getting nice and I wanna sport my tees!
	♥ 9:50am ChukAmok: PizzaWolf: Swag takes awhile to fold, organize, pack and ship, and there's likely a whole lot of it. The wait can take months, especially considering when the station has to go on lockdown due to covid concerns.
	♥ 9:50am Handy Haversack: I think the recent lockdown must have slowed things, PizzaWolf, since there were no volunteers to fold and stuff. SWAGVENT will come! It merely tarries.
	♥ 9:51am LesleyK: hi Trouble and all. I love Hilma af Klint. The Guggenheim exhibit was amazing and I have the book from it too.
	♥ 9:51am Trouble: @pizza wolf: swag can take a minute, don't panic yet...
	♥ 9:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Someone tell Elon Musk to forget that stupid Tweeter business and get to work on self-folding T-shirts.
	♥ 9:53am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @YetiBob: I have MANY radio shows on WFMU that I set my schedule around. Scott Willaims' show on Weds afternoons, Trouble's TITMW, Garbage Time on Tuesdays, EFD's show, Radio Ravioloi, Feelings with Michele with One L.... But my top level FAV is DotDash on Friday mornings... I am a fan or the ambient krautrock kosmichemusik and jazz and Miles' electric albums from the 70s.
	9:54am Layet Johnson: Morning Trouble! Love the mix!
	9:55am Toothgrinder Tom: Tues-toi? Non merci.
	♥ 9:56am PizzaWolf: bummed about covid slowing things down. I get paid time off from my job to volunteer, but it's been impossible with lockdowns : (
	♥ 9:57am Pale Son: Oh yeah!!!
	9:57am Andres: Yes!!!
	♥ 10:03am ChukAmok: Fauci said yesterday that the U.S. was "out of the pandemic phase", which is obviously a good thing but does not necessarily mean that we are completely out of the woods. With all these different mutations and sporadic outbreaks around the world (especially in places where the vaccines haven't made it, or where there's widespread resistance) we may never be completely free of CV-19. Best to make the most of it when the doors re-open and do something worthwhile that you love...Like volunteering!
	♥ 10:04am McGroovey: One solace to us Jam fans, when they broke up, was the creation of the Style Council. I am on my way to WFMU now, to help rescue your t-shirts from the boxes they've been trapped in lo these many weeks
	♥ 10:04am Zipperhead7: @Listener Johnny -- if you like that era of Miles (and I am an obsessive; the Funk Collective -w- Pete Cosey was one of the greatest live bands ever), check this site out. They're posting every existent live recording between 1969 and 1975: twitter.com...
	♥ 10:04am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all! Proud of myself...actually got up in time to shower BEFORE work, I am now bathed and clothed. Need to make coffee but punched the clock on time! Loving this mellow set.
	10:05am annette: declined swag -still contributing to save WFMU bucks. i say, spread the wealth to all you great listers. glad to keep that swag sprinkles going the whole world over.
	10:06am annette: @ three. my world smells better. thnx
	10:06am rx scabin: @Zipperhead7 Pete Cosey! Reggie Lucas!
	10:07am Listener Gregory: I've really enjoyed the first hour of the show but have to leave now. Thanks, Trouble.
	♥ 10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zipperhead7: I love that era. Deep, dark funk.
	♥ 10:08am YETI BOB: Zipperhead7: Thanks. Pete Cosey is such an interesting character. I want to hear anything that he's on.
	♥ 10:09am Ken From Hyde Park: Here are some more local tweeters: www.twitter.com...
	♥ 10:09am listener james from westwood: This outing sounds amazing. I've only ever passed that stretch at high speed, so slower contemplation of nature would be a lovely change.
	♥ 10:09am LesleyK: I'm sad i can't make it out to the birding excursion. i hope some pics will be posted somewhere?
	♥ 10:09am ChukAmok: Thanks for the link @Zipperhead7. For those of you not eager to click on a tweeter link, here is the direct url: theheatwarps.com
	♥ 10:09am Phillippe: Oooh, Dusty!
	10:09am Andres: And all of you wearing your ‘FMU tees, please be on your best behaviour. You’re representing all of us.
	♥ 10:10am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): What are the commercial Miles releases that Cosey is on? Dark Magus? Crap, I can't remember. @ChukAmok: Thanks for that. I deleted twitter two days ago.
	♥ 10:11am YETI BOB: If you're trying to avoid Twitter, you can get those live Miles sessions at theheatwarps.com
	♥ 10:12am YETI BOB: Woods: Get Up with It, Dark Magus, Agharta and Pangaea
	♥ 10:12am Zipperhead7: The "On the Corner" box has all the studio stuff.
	♥ 10:13am Red Rover: This set of heartbreak songs is just the right thing!
	♥ 10:13am YETI BOB: My favorite Pete Cosey story - he was hired to back up Howlin' Wolf on his "psychedelic" album (made at the request of the recod company which Wolf was not happy with).
	♥ 10:14am YETI BOB: According to Pete Cosey, during the recording sessions, Howlin' Wolf "looked at me and he said 'Why don't you take them wah-wahs and all that other shit and go throw it off in the lake – on your way to the barber shop?'"
	10:14am sphere: @ YETI BOB - That cover of the Wolf psychedelic album is priceless.
	10:15am annette: BIRDING??? check out this seasons issue of SKYLANDS mag.
	♥ 10:15am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Zipperhead7: !!!!!!!!!! Pete Cosey was on Muddy Waters' "Electric Mud" album too. Dark Magus was a life-changing album for me..
	10:16am rx scabin: Agharta "confused" a lot of people. Eugene Chadbourne has written some interesting liner notes for that, or it might have been for Pangaea.
	♥ 10:17am Jason from Houston: Goooooood morning, good people.
	♥ 10:17am YETI BOB: rx scabin: oh, i'll have to seek that out. Chadbourne is another real interesting character, and a pretty good writer too.
	10:17am sphere: @ Listener Jonny - Same here with Dark Magus. And what a title to boot!
	♥ 10:20am ChukAmok: New Orleans Jazz Fest returns tomorrow after two years pandemic cancelled, and that's really something to celebrate. Wish I could make it!
	♥ 10:20am ChukAmok: @Trouble Tiny typo on that Dusty Springfield track.
	10:20am BVP: So good
	♥ 10:22am Zipperhead7: Lowell George tells a good story about Howlin' Wolf: www.youtube.com...
	10:23am Strandlund: Absolutely LOVING this set!!
	♥ 10:24am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Loving this show, Trouble. I always do!
	10:24am Gary: Nice to be listening to you on the road to Asheville NC
	♥ 10:24am BillyLundun: Billy Paul just sounding effortless on this groove!
	♥ 10:24am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Loving this version of Let Em In. This set is DAZZLING.
	10:24am Tara: me too!! came here to say the same , this set is saving my soul truly xoxo!!
	♥ 10:25am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): HOLY CATS!!! Thanks @Zipperhead7 and @YetiBob for pointing me towards TheHeatWarps.com !!!! WOW!!!!
	♥ 10:25am Zipperhead7: Billy Paul owns this!
	♥ 10:25am Handy Haversack: So good!
	♥ 10:26am BennyThePlug: killer set right here. loving these tracks. thank you for the good vibes!
	♥ 10:26am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Would I be a bad person if I suggested that "Another Star" by Stevie Wonder may be great here?
	10:26am kevlicki: Morning Trouble and all! Love the idea of a birding meetup! I’ll be there in spirit. We’ve been watching plenty of avian critters from the kitchen window in our new place in Gardiner. Nice pond behind the house with kingfishers, red winged blackbirds, wood ducks, the occasional raptors, also chickadees, finches, flickers, cardinals, woodpeckers and so many others. Watching them has been a Really fun morning and evening activity
	♥ 10:27am YETI BOB: Crankin' up the volume for Stevie. This is maybe the best song ever.
	10:28am rx scabin: @YETI BOB I have seen him many times: solo, with M Hurley, and his Baptist Church. Excellent music of course and between song patter. I saw him play the electric rake.
	♥ 10:28am Stanley: Stevie still Wonderful.
	♥ 10:29am YETI BOB: rx scabun: me 2! the Baptist Church show was a blast.
	♥ 10:29am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Wish I could do the birding, but I'll have to settle for the pigeons fighting on top of my air conditioner, and the owl that sometimes sits on it at night.
	♥ 10:30am ChukAmok: Yo @Gary! What's happening in Asheville? I'm an hour south of there.
	♥ 10:31am listener james from westwood: First close-by woodpecker outside my apartment. Normally they work the suburban yards a couple of blocks away, but this one sounded like it was just outside!
	♥ 10:31am Handy Haversack: Everyone wrap your tongue around your brain and get to pecking!
	♥ 10:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: The pigeons keep trying to get in to the drop in fan that sits between my window sash and the AC (which I don't bother taking out in the winter--apartment is as hot as hell from steam heat, and I don't want the woodwork chewed up by repeat installations).
	♥ 10:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I also think I MAY be hosting a sparrow or two under said AC.
	♥ 10:32am YETI BOB: rx scabin: 10 musicians crammed onto a tiny stage somewhere in Cambridge MA in the late 80s. Trombonist (who?) had to point his horn up to avoid hitting bandmates. Some yo-yo in the audience yells "Freebird!" and they launch into a 15-minute outrageuous sqwaking version.
	♥ 10:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): We had some of the robin migration come through here a couple of weeks ago. Was driving back from the store and there was a field that must have had 50-60 of them. They were all sort of evenly spaced. Socially-distanced robins!
	10:33am rx scabin: YETI BOB if you haven't already, get his box set with Anthony Braxton. The joy.
	♥ 10:33am YETI BOB: Mercifully, I don't believe that was ever recorded, or else Ken would have tortured us with it already.
	♥ 10:34am YETI BOB: rx: just too much music in the world! def. interested in the Chadbourne/Braxton thing, haven't heard it yet. But I've got a stack of records I haven't played yet. And this 10-CD thing William Parker put out. And ... and ... most of the time I have the radio on!
	♥ 10:35am YETI BOB: [i spelled sqwaking wrong above, but i stand by my misspelling]
	10:35am sphere: Someday I will listen to my Soviet France VOD box set.
	10:36am sphere: ZOVIET dammit. Autocorrect, go to bloody hell!
	♥ 10:36am YETI BOB: haha Sphere, several of those aforementioned "record I haven't played yet" are ZF. I didn't buy the box set but picked up a few individual LPs.
	10:37am sphere: @ YETI BOB - yeah, I "borrowed" a few of them off the net so I have heard some tracks.
	♥ 10:41am Ken From Hyde Park: Adding to my to-do list: Pick up a bird guidebook from my local library.
	♥ 10:44am Handy Haversack: I often use a Golden bird guide from 1960 that was my aunt's. Basically, you can shift almost every range 100 miles north to take into account the last sixty years of warming.
	♥ 10:45am Zipperhead7: Prince did a killer version of this when Larry Graham was in his band
	♥ 10:48am McGroovey: graham central station the jam is a jam.
	♥ 10:48am Jenn in the BX: Looking forward to the birding meetup Saturday!
	10:50am Andres: All aboard! Killer track!
	10:50am sphere: Thanks to YouTube, I now know how awesome Graham Central Station was.
	10:51am rx scabin: Somehow, I think this would be good done by a marching band.
	10:52am rx scabin: Merlin Phone App is very good.
	♥ 10:53am ChukAmok: Is there a kind of bird that isn't a woodpecker that preys on carpenter bees? Asking on behalf of my garage.
	10:55am Zinn The Mood: Greetings Trouble and good Troublemakers. Stopped with my son on the west side of Astoria Park by the pool upon hearing a woodpecker going at it. Up there overhead one was going at it for a bit. Thought it was kind of rare for these parts but I wouldn’t know. Pretty neat for us. Returned from grocery shopping this morning feeling distinctly apocalyptic. Price gouging going on and shelves empty. Some things bought last week are up 25 fucking percent! Read an interesting piece recently by someone from SE Asia where the country’s in a state of collapse, cautioning people that a collapsed state doesn’t look like a sci-fi movie but a more banal acceptance of more and more deprivation, suffering, institutional/infrastructure breakdowns and inaccessibility as a new normal. As far as I can see there’s been abundant evidence of that all. This is how revolutions start in earnest. All my European friends for years were fond of saying that people are too soft and pampered to entertain seriously any thoughts of action, that is, until people are hungry. We may be at the doorstep soon, folks. Just about time to gather in solidarity to make some trouble about it, doncha think?
	♥ 10:55am Pale Son: Thought for sure this was Sly & Family Stone!
	♥ 10:56am Zipperhead7: This CD is selling for $95 on Amazon and Ebay! Granted, it is 4 CDs . . . but still . . .
	♥ 10:56am The Oscar: @Pale Son Came to say the same thing! It has that good Riot fog.
	10:57am SQUINCHY: This set is TOO GOOD Trouble.
	♥ 10:58am Trouble: this set is loosely built around an instrument: any guesses??
	♥ 10:58am Pale Son: Clav?
	♥ 10:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh dang, I didn't know there'd be a quiz this morning.
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: snap: the victor is pale son!
	♥ 11:00am ChukAmok: @Zipperhead Plenty of more affordable options on Discogs (and no Bezos): www.discogs.com...
	♥ 11:01am YETI BOB: Zinn - here's a poem for you, "Time Frame" by Jorie Graham. It starts off: The American experiment will end in 2030 she said looking into the cards, the charts, the stars, the mathematics of it, looking www.lrb.co.uk... (site paywalled but you can look at a few pages for free)
	♥ 11:01am Pale Son: Whoo!
	♥ 11:01am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks for the hint RE the Merlin birdwatching app! Will grok. I really want to know what KIND of owl is hooting on my AC at night (apartment overlooks the concrete courtyard/dead appliance storage area of my building and has a built in drain; I am SURE that the owl uses the area as a rodent vending machine).
	♥ 11:02am Jason from Houston: All aboard!
	11:03am Mike W.: Thank youuuuu
	♥ 11:03am listener james from westwood: No mistaking June!
	11:04am Andres: Space is the place.
	♥ 11:05am Susan & Bryan: Your shows always are the best. So spot on and moving. Thank you thank you thank you.
	♥ 11:06am Pale Son: Aha, makes sense!
	♥ 11:08am Handy Haversack: Threemoons, just to be aware that I think Merlin reports location data to Google (Cornell Lab, which I otherwise think is really great, seems to have used Google in its apps and in its tools for reporting bird counts, which is what keeps me from participating). Making sense again, Zinn!
	11:08am Hydroplane: Wonder when the sidewalk sale is coming back...
	11:08am JZ: Good morning from New Mexico
	♥ 11:10am YETI BOB: Wouldn't be a complete set of clav tunes without the Garbage Time theme song!
	♥ 11:10am Trouble: @hydroplane: it is back; second saturday of every month out in front of wfmu
	♥ 11:11am YETI BOB: JZ: I♡NM. What part are you in? I can't wait to get back out there.
	11:11am Zinn The Mood: Thanks, Yeti Bob; will check out today! Personally , I couldn’t be happier if the empire flops dead. Enough carnage and pillage around the world, just so we can have cheap disposable toys stuffed into our attics and basements. It’ll be because we never stopped to think that so much that was being produced by cheap slave labor across the globe (often by children too). There’s some comeuppance coming. Thanks again.
	11:11am rx scabin: @Handy Haversack you can skip location, so other than the built-in smartphone tracking, you are OK. :)
	♥ 11:12am Trouble: merci@susan and bryan!
	♥ 11:13am Zipperhead7: Terry Adams of NRBQ and Billy Preston also were clavinet masters
	11:13am JZ: Near Santa Fe, The Atomic City, Los Alamos
	11:15am Hydroplane: @Trouble Awesome! Did I miss one yet or is it starting this coming May?
	11:16am Zinn The Mood: Hey Handy, what’s the gig schedule look like this weekend? May try to stop by, though we’ve got an Earth Day school thing with the kids on Sat morn. And then this came in today too, from Interference Archives, also on Sat interferencearchive.org...
	♥ 11:19am Zipperhead7: A great article in Processed World many years ago described growing up in Los Alamos in the 50s. Everybody there was working on Manhattan Project and legacy projects, but all information was classified so no shop talk was allowed. It made for weird cocktail parties
	♥ 11:22am Trouble: @hydroplane: one has already happened
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Nice, rx scabin! I don't use a smartphone so was trying to participate in a bird count from the desktop and had to allow Google location marking to do so and so begged off. Zinn, that looks very cool! I'm going to see Guerilla Toss at TV Eye tomorrow night, and then K8's big benefit for the National Network for Abortion Funds is Sat. night at Purgatory: Rock and ROTFLMAO: Four bands, all luminaries from the NYC feminist punk and postpunk scene, three comedians, raffles, prizes, and more! Lineups and URL for tix are in my profile.
	♥ 11:22am jt: "take yo' praise" by Camille Yarbrough was our 'first dance' during our wedding, to the delight of many. It's good for dancin'
	11:22am Hydroplane: Thanks
	♥ 11:24am Jason from Houston: Ohhhhhhhhhhh my... ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:24am Jason from Houston: Funky Lineman!
	♥ 11:24am HyperDose: Look at all these aviary enthusiasts
	11:24am Chris Hiatt: Ooh, this is a MUCH cooler version than the og...
	11:26am Toothgrinder Tom: This must be one of the most often covered songs of all time (not that I’m complaining).
	11:26am Phil in Framingham: Love this Lineman version! I would welcome a 3 hour show of this song , from jimmy webb through Urge Iverkill
	♥ 11:31am Passaic River Blues: Man, just love the Mauskovic Dance Band.
	♥ 11:33am solo mon: Hi! Here for the face journey!
	11:39am Carl: Enjoying your show this morning
	11:41am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I heard offical inflation rate is 8%, but ACTUAL REAL inflation rate is like 15% or even more. Just look at used car prices, good luck getting a decent used car for under $20k nowadays, if you can find one.
	♥ 11:42am BennyThePlug: ugh that Wichita lineman song is such a downer. sorry, not trying to hate.
	11:43am rx scabin: Fabulous show. Fit like a glove. Thank you Trouble.
	♥ 11:44am YETI BOB: analog africa has put out so many great comps. my fave is still #5, Legends of Benin. amazing that Samy Ben Redjeb is able to keep unearthing so many gems.
	♥ 11:44am Pale Son: I guess I must be a big clavinet fan too, because I've been loving all the tunage this morning. Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 11:45am Trouble: @wild neal: car inflation is directly covid related as are many of the price hikes. that shortage/price raising is not exactly fitting the historical pattern of inflation
	11:45am Zinn The Mood: Got it, HH. Will check your profile for more deets… Cool stuff as always, Trouble. Vocal on this “Black Rainbows” track reminded me for a moment of Craig from Shudder To Think.
	♥ 11:46am Passaic River Blues: @YB: Seriously. Hats off to the guy. My favorites have been the Cameroonian/Congolese funk and Somalian/Dur Dur Band comps.
	♥ 11:47am YETI BOB: PRB: Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou does it for me, too
	11:48am sphere: this tune is absolutely killing it. im dying with love!
	♥ 11:49am Special_Vessels: It's so cool you're playing this...a week ago I saw him play in my favorite record bar, Nuweiba
	♥ 11:49am YETI BOB: gotta split now, thanks to Trouble for another good show!
	♥ 11:50am Special_Vessels: @Yeti Bob : PRB: I picked up some Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou vinyl in Benin a couple of years ago
	♥ 11:50am Zipperhead7: Yes, Trouble, you truly outdid yourself this morning. A non-stop stellar set!
	11:51am sphere: and DUB. can't forget that. :)
	♥ 11:52am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thank you so much for another astonishingly good set. Clickystarred.
	♥ 11:53am YETI BOB: Super-cool SV! That's quite a shopping trip! Ok Bye!
	♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: Later, YB! Many thanks, Trouble! Really wish I could join you on Sat. Next time! Great show today. Stay Troubled, everyone.
	♥ 11:54am Passaic River Blues: @YB: yes, Poly-Rythmo = dynamic funk. So good. @Special_Vessels: That's awesome! Can't imagine scooping up records in Porto Novo (hard for me to imagine venturing farther afield than the Meadowlands these days!).

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

	9:01am rx scabin: Good morning.
	9:01am MD: Trouble wit a capital T! Good morning nation of the station!
	♥ 9:01am βrian: It's a new day, and I've decided to Modernize my morning.
	♥ 9:02am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:03am MD: I fully stand for modern conveniences!!!
	9:06am jameson 57: Oh my, Mary Lattimore is so good. So very good. I'm floating
	♥ 9:06am Rock Ridge Chess Club: Trouble always gets me moving. And with today's task being out on the roof, this slow tune is the perfect pace. Peace
	♥ 9:07am Pale Son: Mary Lattimore and Hilma Af Klint! What could be better? Good morning!
	9:07am riley: Good morning! Asheville clear as a pale blue bell.
	♥ 9:07am Zipperhead7: Good morning Trouble and Modernists! Weather is supposed to be beautiful this weekend
	♥ 9:09am Trouble: good morning thursday people!
	♥ 9:09am TDK60: Hello Trouble. I'll be mopping my cassette castle soon, to these sounds.
	9:09am andywing: Good windy fire watch morning!
	9:10am Robm: Good morning fellow trouble makers
	♥ 9:10am Lixiviated Life: Hello trouble & listeners, Some days a person finds exactly what they need on this station. Today is one of those days. I will need more of whatever you're playing.
	♥ 9:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, Trouble and trouble-seekers. I predict a mild, sunny day for Saturday's birding event.
	♥ 9:12am Handy Haversack: Ken, are you going to drive down for it? Wish I could make it! Too much going on this weekend to be on the subway at 6 AM.
	♥ 9:12am Marley P. Dogg: Hello trouble and troubled souls
	9:14am Lucky: Nice Prez tone with a more modern approach...
	♥ 9:15am YETI BOB: I can hear that, Lucky. The inventor of "cool". Hi everyone.
	♥ 9:15am Fredericks: This Yannick Rieu/generation quartet is quite lovely.
	♥ 9:16am TDK60: Handy, I'm too busy to get to K8's benefit gig this weekend (though I support the cause.)
	♥ 9:16am Fredericks: Three pieces in and I already favorited the episode.
	♥ 9:17am Ken From Hyde Park: Yes, I'm planning on it, Handy. Want for me to swing through upper Brooklyn and pick you up?
	♥ 9:18am RevErie: first time listening, enjoying the sounds!
	♥ 9:18am TDK60: I have to miss the Jersey Meadow birding meet-up too. I hope there will be others.
	♥ 9:19am Handy Haversack: That's really kind of you, Ken! But it's too far out of your way. I have a show Fri. night, and K8's big benefit concert is Sat. night, so it seems like it's just bad timing for me. I will invite everyone birding on Newtown Creek later this summer! Hope to see you soon, TDK60!
	♥ 9:22am YETI BOB: RevErie: Welcome!
	♥ 9:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Maybe I could just pick up Bagpipe for the outing. Haha.
	9:24am rx scabin: @RevErie from now on, you can never change the station.
	♥ 9:25am YETI BOB: This program is the high point of my radio week. And that's saying a lot because there's a lot of GREAT programs on this station!
	♥ 9:25am RevErie: @rx scabin I could live with that
	♥ 9:26am Rich in Washington: This is amazing!
	♥ 9:27am Zipperhead7: I wonder what kind of processor the sax is running through?
	♥ 9:27am Dave_G: @YetiBob -- Mine too! Thursday mornings have become something to look forward to.
	9:29am Strandlund: I agree Yeti Bob...I'm always hitting the archives for this show!!
	♥ 9:30am βrian: Does one need to wear white gloves when visiting the archives?
	♥ 9:33am melinda: good morning modern worldists
	9:33am Strandlund: @ βrian...it would be the nice thing to do...
	9:35am rx scabin: I always wear white gloves when listening except for Fool's Paradise. Then the gloves are rubber.
	♥ 9:36am βrian: That way, we wont smudge the uncial script on the vellum of the liner notes!
	♥ 9:38am βrian: Did he mention "La pie jacasse ?"
	♥ 9:40am DjLorraine: Good morning bird song lovers, We, Oui
	9:40am Reno D: Only 30 years?! What was Jean-Claude doing the other 61 years?
	9:40am Strandlund: Just make sure to put the show back where you found it in the archives...if you put it back, out of place, Ken gets really upset...
	♥ 9:42am Dave_G: I love this! More French liguistics nerdism!
	♥ 9:42am Erin in TO: As a Canadian, I'm going to just throw it out there that we have at least 2 major French variations - there's Quebecois French, but also Acadian French. Acadian is closer to European French
	♥ 9:44am Pale Son: I think that Rieu record is put out by Yari Productions.
	♥ 9:46am Trouble: i had no idea @ erin in TO! merci@ pale son
	♥ 9:47am Pale Son: De rien.
	♥ 9:47am Erin in TO: @Trouble I only know that because I did French immersion as a kid, and we learned Acadian French, so when you get to Quebec you still can't understand anyone
	9:47am Andres: Good morning, Trouble and birds! All of my French teachers (here in Canaduh) were, as a group, the most passionate about the subject they taught. Partly why it was amongst my favourite subjects. Pronunciation lesson appreciated. :)
	♥ 9:47am PizzaWolf: is anyone else still waiting on swag from the fundraiser? the weather is getting nice and I wanna sport my tees!
	♥ 9:50am ChukAmok: PizzaWolf: Swag takes awhile to fold, organize, pack and ship, and there's likely a whole lot of it. The wait can take months, especially considering when the station has to go on lockdown due to covid concerns.
	♥ 9:50am Handy Haversack: I think the recent lockdown must have slowed things, PizzaWolf, since there were no volunteers to fold and stuff. SWAGVENT will come! It merely tarries.
	♥ 9:51am LesleyK: hi Trouble and all. I love Hilma af Klint. The Guggenheim exhibit was amazing and I have the book from it too.
	♥ 9:51am Trouble: @pizza wolf: swag can take a minute, don't panic yet...
	♥ 9:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Someone tell Elon Musk to forget that stupid Tweeter business and get to work on self-folding T-shirts.
	♥ 9:53am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @YetiBob: I have MANY radio shows on WFMU that I set my schedule around. Scott Willaims' show on Weds afternoons, Trouble's TITMW, Garbage Time on Tuesdays, EFD's show, Radio Ravioloi, Feelings with Michele with One L.... But my top level FAV is DotDash on Friday mornings... I am a fan or the ambient krautrock kosmichemusik and jazz and Miles' electric albums from the 70s.
	9:54am Layet Johnson: Morning Trouble! Love the mix!
	9:55am Toothgrinder Tom: Tues-toi? Non merci.
	♥ 9:56am PizzaWolf: bummed about covid slowing things down. I get paid time off from my job to volunteer, but it's been impossible with lockdowns : (
	♥ 9:57am Pale Son: Oh yeah!!!
	9:57am Andres: Yes!!!
	♥ 10:03am ChukAmok: Fauci said yesterday that the U.S. was "out of the pandemic phase", which is obviously a good thing but does not necessarily mean that we are completely out of the woods. With all these different mutations and sporadic outbreaks around the world (especially in places where the vaccines haven't made it, or where there's widespread resistance) we may never be completely free of CV-19. Best to make the most of it when the doors re-open and do something worthwhile that you love...Like volunteering!
	♥ 10:04am McGroovey: One solace to us Jam fans, when they broke up, was the creation of the Style Council. I am on my way to WFMU now, to help rescue your t-shirts from the boxes they've been trapped in lo these many weeks
	♥ 10:04am Zipperhead7: @Listener Johnny -- if you like that era of Miles (and I am an obsessive; the Funk Collective -w- Pete Cosey was one of the greatest live bands ever), check this site out. They're posting every existent live recording between 1969 and 1975: twitter.com...
	♥ 10:04am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all! Proud of myself...actually got up in time to shower BEFORE work, I am now bathed and clothed. Need to make coffee but punched the clock on time! Loving this mellow set.
	10:05am annette: declined swag -still contributing to save WFMU bucks. i say, spread the wealth to all you great listers. glad to keep that swag sprinkles going the whole world over.
	10:06am annette: @ three. my world smells better. thnx
	10:06am rx scabin: @Zipperhead7 Pete Cosey! Reggie Lucas!
	10:07am Listener Gregory: I've really enjoyed the first hour of the show but have to leave now. Thanks, Trouble.
	♥ 10:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zipperhead7: I love that era. Deep, dark funk.
	♥ 10:08am YETI BOB: Zipperhead7: Thanks. Pete Cosey is such an interesting character. I want to hear anything that he's on.
	♥ 10:09am Ken From Hyde Park: Here are some more local tweeters: www.twitter.com...
	♥ 10:09am listener james from westwood: This outing sounds amazing. I've only ever passed that stretch at high speed, so slower contemplation of nature would be a lovely change.
	♥ 10:09am LesleyK: I'm sad i can't make it out to the birding excursion. i hope some pics will be posted somewhere?
	♥ 10:09am ChukAmok: Thanks for the link @Zipperhead7. For those of you not eager to click on a tweeter link, here is the direct url: theheatwarps.com
	♥ 10:09am Phillippe: Oooh, Dusty!
	10:09am Andres: And all of you wearing your ‘FMU tees, please be on your best behaviour. You’re representing all of us.
	♥ 10:10am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): What are the commercial Miles releases that Cosey is on? Dark Magus? Crap, I can't remember. @ChukAmok: Thanks for that. I deleted twitter two days ago.
	♥ 10:11am YETI BOB: If you're trying to avoid Twitter, you can get those live Miles sessions at theheatwarps.com
	♥ 10:12am YETI BOB: Woods: Get Up with It, Dark Magus, Agharta and Pangaea
	♥ 10:12am Zipperhead7: The "On the Corner" box has all the studio stuff.
	♥ 10:13am Red Rover: This set of heartbreak songs is just the right thing!
	♥ 10:13am YETI BOB: My favorite Pete Cosey story - he was hired to back up Howlin' Wolf on his "psychedelic" album (made at the request of the recod company which Wolf was not happy with).
	♥ 10:14am YETI BOB: According to Pete Cosey, during the recording sessions, Howlin' Wolf "looked at me and he said 'Why don't you take them wah-wahs and all that other shit and go throw it off in the lake – on your way to the barber shop?'"
	10:14am sphere: @ YETI BOB - That cover of the Wolf psychedelic album is priceless.
	10:15am annette: BIRDING??? check out this seasons issue of SKYLANDS mag.
	♥ 10:15am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): @Zipperhead7: !!!!!!!!!! Pete Cosey was on Muddy Waters' "Electric Mud" album too. Dark Magus was a life-changing album for me..
	10:16am rx scabin: Agharta "confused" a lot of people. Eugene Chadbourne has written some interesting liner notes for that, or it might have been for Pangaea.
	♥ 10:17am Jason from Houston: Goooooood morning, good people.
	♥ 10:17am YETI BOB: rx scabin: oh, i'll have to seek that out. Chadbourne is another real interesting character, and a pretty good writer too.
	10:17am sphere: @ Listener Jonny - Same here with Dark Magus. And what a title to boot!
	♥ 10:20am ChukAmok: New Orleans Jazz Fest returns tomorrow after two years pandemic cancelled, and that's really something to celebrate. Wish I could make it!
	♥ 10:20am ChukAmok: @Trouble Tiny typo on that Dusty Springfield track.
	10:20am BVP: So good
	♥ 10:22am Zipperhead7: Lowell George tells a good story about Howlin' Wolf: www.youtube.com...
	10:23am Strandlund: Absolutely LOVING this set!!
	♥ 10:24am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): Loving this show, Trouble. I always do!
	10:24am Gary: Nice to be listening to you on the road to Asheville NC
	♥ 10:24am BillyLundun: Billy Paul just sounding effortless on this groove!
	♥ 10:24am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Loving this version of Let Em In. This set is DAZZLING.
	10:24am Tara: me too!! came here to say the same , this set is saving my soul truly xoxo!!
	♥ 10:25am Listener Jonny in South Central... (Ohio): HOLY CATS!!! Thanks @Zipperhead7 and @YetiBob for pointing me towards TheHeatWarps.com !!!! WOW!!!!
	♥ 10:25am Zipperhead7: Billy Paul owns this!
	♥ 10:25am Handy Haversack: So good!
	♥ 10:26am BennyThePlug: killer set right here. loving these tracks. thank you for the good vibes!
	♥ 10:26am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Would I be a bad person if I suggested that "Another Star" by Stevie Wonder may be great here?
	10:26am kevlicki: Morning Trouble and all! Love the idea of a birding meetup! I’ll be there in spirit. We’ve been watching plenty of avian critters from the kitchen window in our new place in Gardiner. Nice pond behind the house with kingfishers, red winged blackbirds, wood ducks, the occasional raptors, also chickadees, finches, flickers, cardinals, woodpeckers and so many others. Watching them has been a Really fun morning and evening activity
	♥ 10:27am YETI BOB: Crankin' up the volume for Stevie. This is maybe the best song ever.
	10:28am rx scabin: @YETI BOB I have seen him many times: solo, with M Hurley, and his Baptist Church. Excellent music of course and between song patter. I saw him play the electric rake.
	♥ 10:28am Stanley: Stevie still Wonderful.
	♥ 10:29am YETI BOB: rx scabun: me 2! the Baptist Church show was a blast.
	♥ 10:29am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Wish I could do the birding, but I'll have to settle for the pigeons fighting on top of my air conditioner, and the owl that sometimes sits on it at night.
	♥ 10:30am ChukAmok: Yo @Gary! What's happening in Asheville? I'm an hour south of there.
	♥ 10:31am listener james from westwood: First close-by woodpecker outside my apartment. Normally they work the suburban yards a couple of blocks away, but this one sounded like it was just outside!
	♥ 10:31am Handy Haversack: Everyone wrap your tongue around your brain and get to pecking!
	♥ 10:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: The pigeons keep trying to get in to the drop in fan that sits between my window sash and the AC (which I don't bother taking out in the winter--apartment is as hot as hell from steam heat, and I don't want the woodwork chewed up by repeat installations).
	♥ 10:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I also think I MAY be hosting a sparrow or two under said AC.
	♥ 10:32am YETI BOB: rx scabin: 10 musicians crammed onto a tiny stage somewhere in Cambridge MA in the late 80s. Trombonist (who?) had to point his horn up to avoid hitting bandmates. Some yo-yo in the audience yells "Freebird!" and they launch into a 15-minute outrageuous sqwaking version.
	♥ 10:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): We had some of the robin migration come through here a couple of weeks ago. Was driving back from the store and there was a field that must have had 50-60 of them. They were all sort of evenly spaced. Socially-distanced robins!
	10:33am rx scabin: YETI BOB if you haven't already, get his box set with Anthony Braxton. The joy.
	♥ 10:33am YETI BOB: Mercifully, I don't believe that was ever recorded, or else Ken would have tortured us with it already.
	♥ 10:34am YETI BOB: rx: just too much music in the world! def. interested in the Chadbourne/Braxton thing, haven't heard it yet. But I've got a stack of records I haven't played yet. And this 10-CD thing William Parker put out. And ... and ... most of the time I have the radio on!
	♥ 10:35am YETI BOB: [i spelled sqwaking wrong above, but i stand by my misspelling]
	10:35am sphere: Someday I will listen to my Soviet France VOD box set.
	10:36am sphere: ZOVIET dammit. Autocorrect, go to bloody hell!
	♥ 10:36am YETI BOB: haha Sphere, several of those aforementioned "record I haven't played yet" are ZF. I didn't buy the box set but picked up a few individual LPs.
	10:37am sphere: @ YETI BOB - yeah, I "borrowed" a few of them off the net so I have heard some tracks.
	♥ 10:41am Ken From Hyde Park: Adding to my to-do list: Pick up a bird guidebook from my local library.
	♥ 10:44am Handy Haversack: I often use a Golden bird guide from 1960 that was my aunt's. Basically, you can shift almost every range 100 miles north to take into account the last sixty years of warming.
	♥ 10:45am Zipperhead7: Prince did a killer version of this when Larry Graham was in his band
	♥ 10:48am McGroovey: graham central station the jam is a jam.
	♥ 10:48am Jenn in the BX: Looking forward to the birding meetup Saturday!
	10:50am Andres: All aboard! Killer track!
	10:50am sphere: Thanks to YouTube, I now know how awesome Graham Central Station was.
	10:51am rx scabin: Somehow, I think this would be good done by a marching band.
	10:52am rx scabin: Merlin Phone App is very good.
	♥ 10:53am ChukAmok: Is there a kind of bird that isn't a woodpecker that preys on carpenter bees? Asking on behalf of my garage.
	10:55am Zinn The Mood: Greetings Trouble and good Troublemakers. Stopped with my son on the west side of Astoria Park by the pool upon hearing a woodpecker going at it. Up there overhead one was going at it for a bit. Thought it was kind of rare for these parts but I wouldn’t know. Pretty neat for us. Returned from grocery shopping this morning feeling distinctly apocalyptic. Price gouging going on and shelves empty. Some things bought last week are up 25 fucking percent! Read an interesting piece recently by someone from SE Asia where the country’s in a state of collapse, cautioning people that a collapsed state doesn’t look like a sci-fi movie but a more banal acceptance of more and more deprivation, suffering, institutional/infrastructure breakdowns and inaccessibility as a new normal. As far as I can see there’s been abundant evidence of that all. This is how revolutions start in earnest. All my European friends for years were fond of saying that people are too soft and pampered to entertain seriously any thoughts of action, that is, until people are hungry. We may be at the doorstep soon, folks. Just about time to gather in solidarity to make some trouble about it, doncha think?
	♥ 10:55am Pale Son: Thought for sure this was Sly & Family Stone!
	♥ 10:56am Zipperhead7: This CD is selling for $95 on Amazon and Ebay! Granted, it is 4 CDs . . . but still . . .
	♥ 10:56am The Oscar: @Pale Son Came to say the same thing! It has that good Riot fog.
	10:57am SQUINCHY: This set is TOO GOOD Trouble.
	♥ 10:58am Trouble: this set is loosely built around an instrument: any guesses??
	♥ 10:58am Pale Son: Clav?
	♥ 10:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Oh dang, I didn't know there'd be a quiz this morning.
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: snap: the victor is pale son!
	♥ 11:00am ChukAmok: @Zipperhead Plenty of more affordable options on Discogs (and no Bezos): www.discogs.com...
	♥ 11:01am YETI BOB: Zinn - here's a poem for you, "Time Frame" by Jorie Graham. It starts off: The American experiment will end in 2030 she said looking into the cards, the charts, the stars, the mathematics of it, looking www.lrb.co.uk... (site paywalled but you can look at a few pages for free)
	♥ 11:01am Pale Son: Whoo!
	♥ 11:01am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks for the hint RE the Merlin birdwatching app! Will grok. I really want to know what KIND of owl is hooting on my AC at night (apartment overlooks the concrete courtyard/dead appliance storage area of my building and has a built in drain; I am SURE that the owl uses the area as a rodent vending machine).
	♥ 11:02am Jason from Houston: All aboard!
	11:03am Mike W.: Thank youuuuu
	♥ 11:03am listener james from westwood: No mistaking June!
	11:04am Andres: Space is the place.
	♥ 11:05am Susan & Bryan: Your shows always are the best. So spot on and moving. Thank you thank you thank you.
	♥ 11:06am Pale Son: Aha, makes sense!
	♥ 11:08am Handy Haversack: Threemoons, just to be aware that I think Merlin reports location data to Google (Cornell Lab, which I otherwise think is really great, seems to have used Google in its apps and in its tools for reporting bird counts, which is what keeps me from participating). Making sense again, Zinn!
	11:08am Hydroplane: Wonder when the sidewalk sale is coming back...
	11:08am JZ: Good morning from New Mexico
	♥ 11:10am YETI BOB: Wouldn't be a complete set of clav tunes without the Garbage Time theme song!
	♥ 11:10am Trouble: @hydroplane: it is back; second saturday of every month out in front of wfmu
	♥ 11:11am YETI BOB: JZ: I♡NM. What part are you in? I can't wait to get back out there.
	11:11am Zinn The Mood: Thanks, Yeti Bob; will check out today! Personally , I couldn’t be happier if the empire flops dead. Enough carnage and pillage around the world, just so we can have cheap disposable toys stuffed into our attics and basements. It’ll be because we never stopped to think that so much that was being produced by cheap slave labor across the globe (often by children too). There’s some comeuppance coming. Thanks again.
	11:11am rx scabin: @Handy Haversack you can skip location, so other than the built-in smartphone tracking, you are OK. :)
	♥ 11:12am Trouble: merci@susan and bryan!
	♥ 11:13am Zipperhead7: Terry Adams of NRBQ and Billy Preston also were clavinet masters
	11:13am JZ: Near Santa Fe, The Atomic City, Los Alamos
	11:15am Hydroplane: @Trouble Awesome! Did I miss one yet or is it starting this coming May?
	11:16am Zinn The Mood: Hey Handy, what’s the gig schedule look like this weekend? May try to stop by, though we’ve got an Earth Day school thing with the kids on Sat morn. And then this came in today too, from Interference Archives, also on Sat interferencearchive.org...
	♥ 11:19am Zipperhead7: A great article in Processed World many years ago described growing up in Los Alamos in the 50s. Everybody there was working on Manhattan Project and legacy projects, but all information was classified so no shop talk was allowed. It made for weird cocktail parties
	♥ 11:22am Trouble: @hydroplane: one has already happened
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Nice, rx scabin! I don't use a smartphone so was trying to participate in a bird count from the desktop and had to allow Google location marking to do so and so begged off. Zinn, that looks very cool! I'm going to see Guerilla Toss at TV Eye tomorrow night, and then K8's big benefit for the National Network for Abortion Funds is Sat. night at Purgatory: Rock and ROTFLMAO: Four bands, all luminaries from the NYC feminist punk and postpunk scene, three comedians, raffles, prizes, and more! Lineups and URL for tix are in my profile.
	♥ 11:22am jt: "take yo' praise" by Camille Yarbrough was our 'first dance' during our wedding, to the delight of many. It's good for dancin'
	11:22am Hydroplane: Thanks
	♥ 11:24am Jason from Houston: Ohhhhhhhhhhh my... ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:24am Jason from Houston: Funky Lineman!
	♥ 11:24am HyperDose: Look at all these aviary enthusiasts
	11:24am Chris Hiatt: Ooh, this is a MUCH cooler version than the og...
	11:26am Toothgrinder Tom: This must be one of the most often covered songs of all time (not that I’m complaining).
	11:26am Phil in Framingham: Love this Lineman version! I would welcome a 3 hour show of this song , from jimmy webb through Urge Iverkill
	♥ 11:31am Passaic River Blues: Man, just love the Mauskovic Dance Band.
	♥ 11:33am solo mon: Hi! Here for the face journey!
	11:39am Carl: Enjoying your show this morning
	11:41am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I heard offical inflation rate is 8%, but ACTUAL REAL inflation rate is like 15% or even more. Just look at used car prices, good luck getting a decent used car for under $20k nowadays, if you can find one.
	♥ 11:42am BennyThePlug: ugh that Wichita lineman song is such a downer. sorry, not trying to hate.
	11:43am rx scabin: Fabulous show. Fit like a glove. Thank you Trouble.
	♥ 11:44am YETI BOB: analog africa has put out so many great comps. my fave is still #5, Legends of Benin. amazing that Samy Ben Redjeb is able to keep unearthing so many gems.
	♥ 11:44am Pale Son: I guess I must be a big clavinet fan too, because I've been loving all the tunage this morning. Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 11:45am Trouble: @wild neal: car inflation is directly covid related as are many of the price hikes. that shortage/price raising is not exactly fitting the historical pattern of inflation
	11:45am Zinn The Mood: Got it, HH. Will check your profile for more deets… Cool stuff as always, Trouble. Vocal on this “Black Rainbows” track reminded me for a moment of Craig from Shudder To Think.
	♥ 11:46am Passaic River Blues: @YB: Seriously. Hats off to the guy. My favorites have been the Cameroonian/Congolese funk and Somalian/Dur Dur Band comps.
	♥ 11:47am YETI BOB: PRB: Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou does it for me, too
	11:48am sphere: this tune is absolutely killing it. im dying with love!
	♥ 11:49am Special_Vessels: It's so cool you're playing this...a week ago I saw him play in my favorite record bar, Nuweiba
	♥ 11:49am YETI BOB: gotta split now, thanks to Trouble for another good show!
	♥ 11:50am Special_Vessels: @Yeti Bob : PRB: I picked up some Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou vinyl in Benin a couple of years ago
	♥ 11:50am Zipperhead7: Yes, Trouble, you truly outdid yourself this morning. A non-stop stellar set!
	11:51am sphere: and DUB. can't forget that. :)
	♥ 11:52am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thank you so much for another astonishingly good set. Clickystarred.

	♥ 11:54am Handy Haversack: Later, YB! Many thanks, Trouble! Really wish I could join you on Sat. Next time! Great show today. Stay Troubled, everyone.
	♥ 11:54am Passaic River Blues: @YB: yes, Poly-Rythmo = dynamic funk. So good. @Special_Vessels: That's awesome! Can't imagine scooping up records in Porto Novo (hard for me to imagine venturing farther afield than the Meadowlands these days!).
	♥ 11:54am Phillippe: Thanks Trouble! Love the dub!
	11:55am Reno D: It has been a gorgeous presentation today. Thanks for another lovely Troubled Thursday morning.
	11:55am MilMil: Thank you, Trouble. You've made my hectic morning sound amazing!
	♥ 11:56am Special_Vessels: @PRB: I hail from the Meadowlands, but hit me up at this handle on IG for some crate-digging picks!
	♥ 11:56am Jason from Houston: Fine sounds, trouble. Many thanks.
	♥ 11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. I can try to send you some bird photos, Handy. Also, I think "Disposal Road" is about as New Jersey as one can get. Haha!
	♥ 11:57am Dave_G: Thanks, Trouble, for another Thursday morning filled with beautiful sound.
