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.

Listener comments!

  9:04am
Adrian in London:

Hello from rainy Britain, where the Met Office has had to offically revise its forecast that we would have, and I quote: "a barbecue summer." What with it pouring down for 40 days and 40 nights.
  9:07am
trouble:

good morning adrian, and everyone else in intermittent rainy lands
  9:07am
gumby:

It's OK Adrian
It's turning into London here. Coldest July in NYC history and it rains damn near everyday.
  9:08am
PMD:

Morning Trouble, and all.
  9:09am
Barry:

I remember writing (then) that we had no summer in Portland OR last year, well - high tues 101, high yesterday 105, high today 95 - it's 6 AM and its 77 degrees - this year we got all the summer you could want.
  9:32am
Dum Dum Guy at the Gates of Dawn:

No rain in DC, where your house can burn down because there is no pressure in the hydrants.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/30/AR2009073000108.html?hpid=artslot

Morning!
  9:37am
Chris:

Where did that Wooden Shjips track come from? I didn't catch that.
  9:37am
gumby:

Yeah I see the weather channel guy is hanging out in Portland. If those guys or girls come to your town it's bad news.
  9:39am
Leslie:

Yesterday's papers: More an anti-monogamy song, (though with little regard for his soon to be ex-partner)
  9:39am
trouble:

chris, i don't know where it comes from originally. i got it off the web. look at fillessourires.blogspot.com
  9:41am
Trapper:

Whence comes this Hope Sandoval track? She's the only harmonica player I enjoy.
  9:41am
PMD:

Gumby, that is so true! Never thought of it that way.
  9:45am
Barry:

Brown lawns in Portland - the end of life as we know it.
  9:46am
Chris:

Thanks sooooo much for 'Letter Never Sent,' Trouble. This has made my day. You're a sweetheart!!!
  9:50am
still b/p:

In much of the country, the very clouds weep with sorrow at Obama's reported beer choice today: Bud Light.
The President of Hope, maybe, but not of much Hop.
  9:50am
The first chris:

Cool, I'm sort of a Wooden Shjips completist. Thanks.
  9:51am
dale:

barry, in the northeast it's mow every 5 days or else you'll have huge thick windrows of grass to rake up (the grass is growing to fast for the mulcher to be much use). and if you don't rake the grass roots die and weeds take its place. i always want to xeriscape (sp?), but I also don't want more deerticks than i pick off already.
  9:52am
trouble:

through the devil softly is the new hope sandoval and the warm inventions release, due out in september
  9:52am
gumby:

stillb/p hope not hop/ love it!
Yeah I was laughing at the beer thing, neither of the guys from Boston picked Sam Adams, you'd think th epolitician would know better. Then Obama picks the Belgian light. What is this country coming to?
  9:54am
Jonathan Steinke:

In other news, the condensation on bottles of Schlafly Beer are reported to actually be tears.
  9:54am
Jonathan Steinke:

That's "is reported"...
  9:55am
annie:

ok, i made it, been having a very odd week.. morning all!!
  9:55am
Cecile:

We have had little summer here in Minnnapolis. I love it, but I'm sure the tomatoes don't.
  9:55am
still b/p:

Our hope is for a better post-Bush and post-Busch world.
  9:57am
dale:

i love the seldom heard album version of 'love is like oxygen'
  9:57am
Cecile:

Obama is a perpetual dieter. Bud Light is lower in calories, and perhaps it was not a "cheat" day.
  9:58am
annie:

cecile, i went out to see the garden this morning after that heavy rain last night.. i see very healthy and happy assorted green things, no peppers at all to speak of.. and harvested the garlic .. 59 grew ... all varying sizes, due to wet soil.. good news is that i have alot of pvc left over from the well pump being installed.. hoop houses, i hoop!!
  10:00am
gumby:

happenin' very best track here. Where are they from?
  10:01am
dale:

annie, i picked up a bunch of old tlarge riple track storm windows for $5 each and plan to build a little hot house for next year.I can't defeat the deer or rabits or woodchucks or slugs or tomato hornworms or verticillium rot or....
  10:02am
Cecile:

Peppers like it a little drier I think.
Did you plant tomatoes, how are they doing?
And do you haz water again?
  10:02am
dale:

...large triple track.....
  10:03am
trouble:

the very best are here:
http://www.greenowlrecords.com/album/esau-mwamwaya-and-radioclit-are
  10:04am
color matters:

Guinness for strength!
  10:05am
annie:

dale, i found eight sweet celery plants amongst the wormwoods. planted them... the rabbits found them.. bummer. cecile, i have tomatoes, but they are still short and not thriving.
  10:08am
Cecile:

You know, color, Guineess is a good, low-calorie option. Lower calories than anything but light beer.

(former perpetual dieter)
  10:09am
Cecile:

See, tomatoes need wet, hot weather with big blasts of dry days. I'm kind of glad I didn't plant this year.
  10:10am
Cecile:

we had to pass on the red-skinned potatoes.
We've OD'd on them
  10:11am
annie:

i'm sure my soil is still at a very low temperature.. i'm sad... .. and the potatoes got the blight.. harvested tiny little fingerlings this week,
  10:12am
gumby:

What I loved about the early REM was the Stipe/Mills harmonic. They could have been singin' "f you and your mother too" amd it wouldn't have mattered because the sound was just so tantalizing.
  10:13am
still b/p:

Every cornfield I see 'round here is a sorry crop of late, short 'n wimpy -- make a feeble fire. How's the corn? Weenie...really, really. We'll see what shows at the farmers market.
  10:13am
gumby:

The Jayhawks and The Band had that thing too.
  10:17am
annie:

corn fields around here are very sad. some are flourishing, but most sit sparse and pathetic. they've asked for an emergency situation..
  10:17am
beaker:

Thanks for playing that Hazlewood song. I did not know he had released that album.
  10:20am
PMD:

You're welcome. (I come from RI)
  10:20am
Cecile:

there has been some nice corn out of Wisconsin. Little ears, but very flavorful.

This is the time, if you have blueberries, wild or cultivated, to rejoice. They love this weather.
  10:20am
gumby:

This food list song is making me hungry!
  10:21am
GP:

This sounds like Sandy from SpongeBob singing.

I need to wake up
Hi Trouble, et al.
  10:22am
Joe Steele:

I've heard good things about Jersey corn this year. I can't believe its actually something I've heard but it is.

Headed to the Montclair Farmers Market on Saturday to find more things to grow along my apartment window sill.
  10:22am
PMD:

Annie, hi! My tomatoes in the pot and not happy, and ony produced a few small tomatoes. But the one in the plot of land went wild and I've gotten about 5 so far. Rhubarb never turned red, alas. Got one smalll pepper. Something attacked/is attacking my cucumber - I got one warped on and trying to get more.
  10:24am
Patrick:

yo trouble! have you seen thr Black Acid Co-Op show at deitch projects yet? i saw the artist give a talk up here on monday, good looking stuff. any way its been sunny and humid up here the last few days.
  10:29am
Carmichael:

Good morning Trouble and fellow ear users.
  10:30am
Lawrence:

Trouble, thanks for playing that REM song. Hearing it on FMU was like hearing it for the first time, and reminded me why I worshiped them 25 years ago. It sounded amazing. (Probably the first and last time I'll hear REM on FMU, right?) Anyway, I've been listening to you for about 15 years--thanks for making Thursday mornings so much fun.
  10:32am
GP:

I could listen to Texas Swing all day ( even though I know that is not going to happen).
Thanks for the McKinney Sisters Trouble.
  10:32am
annie:

cecile, this wet climate out here has produced a very hospitable climate for fungus on the blueberries in maine.. they may have to burn the crop...
  10:35am
Lulu:

....nothing is sweeter than the Modern World with Trouble!
  10:36am
Cecile:

oh jeez
  10:36am
annie:

lulu, concurrence here. goes very well with that second cuppa!!
  10:37am
Carmichael:

It's a Sisters setlist. Just to throw everyone off, you could spin some Del Rubio Triplets.

And I'm a Neville Brothers completist. You're spot on today, Trouble!
  10:37am
trouble:

hey patrick! i'll chek that show out.
super thanks to lulu and lawrence for the kind words!!
  10:38am
GP:

Trouble,
You sure you are not broadcasting from Southern Louisiana today...this set puts me back on the bayou!
  10:39am
sugarwolf:

local sweet corn is the best, I could eat it every day
  10:40am
dale:

i did manage to pick a lot of wild black raspberries this year and the wild blackberries are just coming in. the challenge is sharing with the birds.
  10:40am
Cecile:

I love black orpheus, I have the soundtrack. Beautiful and clamorous
  10:41am
Carmichael:

Wrap the sweet corn in foil with olive oil, garlic, tabasco and parmesan. Throw it on the grill next to your chicken. Mmmmm
  10:42am
annie:

dale, my wild raspberries only produced enough to munch on while walking the dog, who loves any berry. the balckberry crop will be better than the blueberry crop.
carm, what a great recipe!!!
  10:44am
Laurie:

Oh, hey, thanks for playing my husband Jarvis.
  10:44am
Aliza:

Picked a ton of red potatoes and green beans from an empty Baltimore lot farm yesterday. Thanks for talking about the movement!
  10:51am
dale:

trouble, don't know if you get NJN but they had a nice prgram called 'natural history of the chicken'. it's back from around 2001 i think. it imbued so much personality to them that i question eating chicken again.
  10:54am
trouble:

that sounds great dale. i'll look for it.
  10:55am
Cecile:

This is the camille from Ratatouille!
Does she have a full record out? This is great.
  10:57am
trouble:

oh do you mean that she did songs in the soundtrack for that movie? sure she has a few albums and is huge in france!
  10:58am
Cecile:

Yes, she sang the theme song. It's great!

which one would you start with?
  10:59am
Cecile:

Man, I loved Scritti around Songs to Remember. Wood Beez album not so much
  11:02am
sugarwolf:

my grandma rented the 'natural history of the chicken' dvd from the library and loved it.
  11:03am
v k:

truly, truly love your show - thanks Trouble
  11:04am
trouble:

fabulous sugarwolf. i will search it out. cecille look hear and listen:http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/artist/Camille/a/Camille.htm
  11:04am
GP:

Trouble, you are freaking me out. I was just thinking about how Ineeded to hear some Macy Gray ( That probably isn't going to occur on FMU) so Jaqee is the next best thing....awesome. Thank you.
  11:07am
Cecile:

That's a great song, Trouble. I must disagree.

I don't like SP's anarchist stuff.
I love the soulful Songs to Remember period.
  11:08am
Cecile:

In fact, I re-bought Songs just as few months ago.

And thanks for the link!
  11:10am
Cecile:

OMG. I remember seeing Osibisa on the Marty Feldman show in the early 70s...
  11:11am
Ne-guh-tor:

I know, Trouble! Back in the day I loved Cupid and Psyche (and still do). I had no idea of SP past efforts in '84 and marveled over the unique almost Micheal Jackson quality of these faux R&B songs. His transition is sort of like Paul Weller (you're man) to Style council. You would not believe the flack I caught from my Iron Maiden listening friends!
  11:13am
Carmichael:

I saw Osibisa live many moons ago in Oakland CA, with Tower of Power and 3 or 4 other soul/funk bands. What memories I forgot I had ....
  11:13am
?:

did Osibisa use the same guy who did the album covers for Yes?
  11:14am
Cecile:

Yes, Roger Dean did their artwork.
  11:16am
dale:

i have the 12" 45 rpm single of SP's 'Aboslute' in my collection. can't imagine i'd ever listen to it again (along with rebbe jackson's 'centipede')...some things don't hold up other than for nostalgia.
  11:22am
Cecile:

I love Faithless, it's an incredible trainwreck of 80s production, and yet really moving.
  11:26am
Marshall Stacks:

The Marty Feldman Show - that brings back memories. It ran in the summer, right?
  11:30am
Cecile:

That's right! Summer of 71 or 72...I thnk.
  11:34am
jeremy the listener:

she could be covered with a rash, as long as she's got cash. that's awesome
  11:35am
jeremy the listener:

is this a cover of the cramps? or did the cramps cover this??
  11:36am
Ike:

To go back to produce: There were really awesome NJ blueberries at the Stop & Shop a couple of weeks ago. Haven't gone back there, but another market had MICHIGAN blueberries the other day -- is NJ blueberry season over already?! Sure doesn't last long!

Wow, that Diplo and Santigold dub was killer!
  11:37am
doug from dc:

Found a Marty Feldman Show clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7CpkzJU9kA
  11:39am
PJH:

Like Scritti? "White Bread Black Beer" is great.
  11:39am
Marshall Stacks:

The Marty Feldman Show featured short skits by a group of British comedians with what was apparently a very memorable name. I remembered the name when the local PBS station started showing their show a year or two later, and made all of my friends watch. Thus were Monty Python fans made.

@jeremy: The Cramps covered Hasil Adkins.
  11:40am
jeremy the listener:

cool thanks.
  11:42am
?:

c'mon, Trouble, there has to be at least one Yes song you like. Not even the first album?
  11:49am
Carmichael:

Looks like you're alone, ? :-)
  11:52am
?:

ouch. I will just keep wearing my black jeans and white high-top sneakers, with feathered hairdo, thank you very much.
  11:53am
Ike:

Agreed, Carm. ;)

Why always such intense nostalgia for washed-up crummy famous rockers of yesteryear in FMU's comments, but less discussion of great new music?
  11:54am
doug from dc:

I grinned at the total obscurity of a Norwegian Folk Jazz 1971-1977 comp, but this is very nice.
  11:56am
Cecile:

Ike, I love how you NEVER EVER resort to generalities or BROAD SWEEPING AND VAGUELY INSULTING statements in the comments board.
  11:59am
Ike:

Don't worry, I'm already being nibbled on by '90s nostalgia, so soon I'll be right there with you Cecile, just focused on a different decade than you! Now, where did I put those Lush and Swervedriver CDs?!? ;) ;) :)
  12:01pm
Cecile:

I'm going to go away now. Not going to swallow the bait.
  12:01pm
doug from dc:

Ike, Lush and Swervedriver are all well and good, but for me it's been Loop and Slowdive. Try not to be so vehement in bashing prog. I'm over it, myself, but prog does tend to be the pinata of rock.
  2:11pm
Sylvain:

"Nu au soleil" is a protest action from BB. Beware, walk away!
