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.

![]() Well, I'm usually fashionably late but I seem to have arrived early today… hello Trouble, hello world. |
![]() |
![]() Trouble! |
![]() |
![]() wow! love the dimensions on that painting! Good morning Trouble. I've got the day off. Looking forward to spending it with WFMU and doing my taxes. More the former than the latter. |

Hi Trouble + World! Love the painting! |
![]() |
![]() anyone else finding the green on grey a little problematic? |
![]() |
![]() B23 here! With any luck I will be here for the duration today. |
![]() |
![]() @ausmanx - only if you want to read the playlist from more than a foot away from the screen |
![]() |
![]() Good morning, all. Tax work here as well. Headphones in place, strong green tea and three hours of Trouble should keep me going. |
![]() |
![]() good morning grumblers! and non grumblers! |

Tuesday already? That must mean trouble! Hi! |
![]() |
![]() ...green on grey is nice colors - but pretty low Contrast for the text, yes... - a darker green like the painting would work well - ? I wonder how simple the options are... |
![]() |
![]() Hi Trouble and all. Nice Agar pick. |
![]() |
![]() Much more legible! Matches painting too! : ) |

I haven't been here in the Troubled Kingdom for many months. Are the trees taller and the corner store gone? Color appraisals still a feature, though, eh? | |
![]() |
![]() the color options are pathetically limited and i can not see them when i chose, only once the playlist opens, first thing tuesday morning. |
![]() |
![]() B23! All of yous! |

![]() Good morning to Trouble and all who sail with her! |

![]() OK: I'm opening a book on whether Trouble will have a husky voice today! Who's in?! |
![]() |
![]() I'm voting husky. |
![]() |
![]() I'm voting back to normal |
![]() |
![]() Husky, everyone in the Midwest/East coast is husky due to allergens this week. |
![]() |
![]() Huskies are very vocal... |

Titus in GA:
'allo allo, Trouble! | |
![]() |
![]() I grew up w/ a husky. Very sweet, but w/ some idiosyncrasies. No experience w/ sexy DJ pills (ref. last week) - but I raise my green glass of absinthe to them here... |
![]() |
![]() Trouble, if you are or aren't husky-you should still say to all of us "Come up and see me sometime" and let us be the judge. |
![]() |
![]() my heart is saying husky - but my head is saying no / likin dirty beaches |
![]() |
![]() ...Tue. my 'Sat.' - & I gotta get sumthin' done (not my taxes: one thing I can say about my life - @ least my taxes are extremely simple...) - so somebody on the great WFMtUesday is gonna hafta to be the Archives... - But 1st! : We wakey wakey here... |
![]() |
![]() ar waiting for breaking bad so bad |
![]() |
![]() Bataan! |
![]() |
![]() Why does "Crystal Blue Persuasion" sound like a bad name for a toilet bowl cleaning product? |
![]() |
![]() man, crystal blue persuasion works so much better when you pick up the tempo! |
![]() |
![]() ...did we know - what? 45 years ago it would still be about Shondells tunes - ??...no complaints... |
![]() |
![]() Helloo all Trouble-somes! I say husky-lite. |
![]() |
![]() Ah, husky-lite it is. |
![]() |
![]() the birds just reminded me...its window openin' weather! finally! |
![]() |
![]() maybe just the soundtrack to a toilet bowl cleaner commercial |
![]() |
![]() ...is it just redundant to say 'great tooons' around here??...I may well still have somethin' to learn about FMUtiquette... |
![]() |
![]() isn't that how normal radio works Trouble? I know a morning DJ who says he doesn't even care about the music he just talks when it's his turn. |
![]() |
![]() Wunna life's great simple pleasures: Open Windows - ! - & not the kind that make my browser freeze... |

Meg! |
![]() |
![]() @RR It's always good to point out the tracks that really stand out for you. |
![]() |
![]() But, it's Windows not Window |
![]() |
![]() What's redundant is to spell 'toons' with an extra 'o', unless you've done it as a 'stylistic' thing. |
![]() |
![]() ...makes sense re Tunes, Andre - but for FMU - it's like I say about some spectacular women: Callin' yoo the girl uh my Dreams is givin' my subconscious too much credit!... |

Good morning Trouble. Radio is magic, music travels from the studio to a transmitting antenna, to my receiving antenna which is connected to the Bose speakers, which are, right now, set to eleven. |

You can't see radio, it cannot be touched or tasted, it has no smell. It can only be heard, which suggests a collective hallucination of some sort. |
![]() |
![]() yes it was jack, congratulations you passed the test today with flying colors!! no, truly: thanks for the heads up |
![]() |
![]() morning, all! and I didn't miss Lonnie. |
![]() |
![]() ...was reading book 'Scanners & Secret Frequencies' by Henry L. Eisenson - saved it from dumpster @ ThriftStore I work @ - & he posits that no one is quite sure how radio works, in fact! I'm no physicist though... |
![]() |
![]() oh, and I got the La Lupe 2-disc retro on Fania, and there is so much good stuff I am actually overwhelmed. |
![]() |
![]() WOW this is amazing. |

Jack:
Sorry, I'm a stickler for that kind of stuff...do love the show, have it running at work every Tuesday (and Thursdays before that). Do tend to get some strange looks from some coworkers, though... | |
![]() |
![]() no apologies jack, i don't mind a mistake being rectified. |
![]() |
![]() I'm sorry Trouble!! This is all my fault <3 |
![]() |
![]() bonjour jennique! |
![]() |
![]() sing it Lonnie. |
![]() |
![]() Wrong side of the bed? Wouldn't have known. This show is rocking! Great tunes today. |
![]() |
![]() today's art is by eileen agar. saw a piece of hers in the "drawing surrealism show at the morgan libary. that show closes april 21. |
![]() |
![]() ...it's the Kewlest Lonnie improvises all this extemporaneously... |
![]() |
![]() It reminds me of malachite. I still love Surrealism. |
![]() |
![]() This is fantastic. Thanks for bringing it to us,trouble. |

Not a single syllable about Lonnie's music or recordings on the Wiki page about him and his art. Strange. |

![]() I'm sitting here trying to monitor router bandwidth while Lonnie sings about Gigabytes and information technology. I like being serenaded ! |

Trouble, what instrument/s was Lonnie playing? Some kind of keyboard? | |
![]() |
![]() ...he gives me the impression of a Space Age street musician or something!... |

![]() The May/June issue of Chickens magazine is now on the newsstands! www.hobbyfarms.com... |

![]() |
![]() extremely! |
![]() |
![]() Ah. I see the dark grey background in the comments column has been adjusted. Much better. Dang it, does Robert Wyatt have a beautiful voice or what? |
![]() |
![]() oh, in light of recent events Shipbuilding would have been a better choice, since the witch is finally dead. |

Some feedback on Thatcher from musicians, namely Morrissey and Billy Bragg. www.telegraph.co.uk... |
![]() |
![]() I feel angry like the band Crass when I think of Thatcher. I'm not really in a Crass mood today, damn her. |
![]() |
![]() just checking in - nice music for a grey and raw morning in mpls. Snow on the way, but so is spring. |
![]() |
![]() I dislike Thatcher even more than I disliked Reagan. As as moderate person this emotion fills me with deep ambivalence. |
![]() |

Van in DC:
I've said it before - I could spend all day with sax & violins and be happy :) |
![]() |
![]() I take no glee from disliking them, like some other personages. |
![]() |
![]() Thx Jennique: Morrissey & Bragg are just the people I want to hear from on this occasion - & they don't disappoint. Can't wait to see what Julian Cope says... |
![]() |
![]() I mean, like I do my dislike of other personages. Anyway, Ike Quebec makes things better. |
![]() |
![]() I usually get uncomfortable when me and Morrissey agree on things.... any suggestions for helping a sore neck? Slept on it wrong this weekend and it's taking forever to feel better. |
![]() |
![]() moist heat, cecile |
![]() |
![]() Thatcher lead Reagan around by the ring in his nose a bit I think: An Actor wants for a Director. They were a double-act, anyhow. |
![]() |
![]() Roll it around slowly in a circle taking deep breaths, cecile |
![]() |
![]() thanks, trouble! |
![]() |
![]() Cecile, see if someone can find a knot in either one of your shoulder blades, this can also release tension in the neck. |
![]() |
![]() I have been doing that too, Mike East. The internets tell me with this I probably have a couple of days to go, even treating it. It's better than yesterday, definitely. That was BAD. |

Jennique:
I like what Billy Bragg wrote, poignant as always, "Raising a glass to the death of an infirm old lady changes none of this. The only real antidote to cynicism is activism. Don't celebrate - organise!" |
![]() |
![]() you just never realize how hard your neck works for you! |
![]() |
![]() yeah, stiff neck makes doing simple things hard |
![]() |
![]() as kramer said.. 'poise counts! poise!' |

I've had a mildly sore neck for six months. As of last weekend, I've got a half-inch scar-certain bloody split in the forehead and a chipped front tooth. Don't look...I'm hideous. |
![]() |
![]() jeez, sbp OW |
![]() |
![]() Thatcher was a long time ago - but a real Turning Point as Reagan was in the U.S. & remember: the Clinton Years were also the Gingrich-Karl Rove Republican Revolution years - almost 20 years ago already. Clinton was huge - but dragged the Left to Center to do it. |
![]() |
![]() YES!!!!!! |
![]() |
![]() Some nice artwork from Metro the Painting Racehorse: www.paintedbymetro.com |
![]() |
![]() I bruxed extra hard last night and I'm sorely paying for it today. don't worry tho I have exercises that I can do to relieve the pain. thank goodness for Physical therapists. |
![]() |
![]() There just aren't enough great songs about quantitative easing. |
![]() |
![]() Cheri, I used to be a bruxer! and went throught PT and all that. I love being reminded that the Specials are one of the greatest bands ever. |
![]() |
![]() Wow is there a cure for it that you know of C$? |
![]() |
![]() - alchyhol is a good muscle-relaxant - but not that good...baths relax but are too small (5'11" here), & you gotta sit funny in them! Monitors are terrible...seems like everything we do distorts us unless yer a gymnast stretching out all the time... |
![]() |
![]() @Cecile and @Cheri I had no idea that 'bruxing' was a word, thanks. |
![]() |
![]() DJ Trouble is ON IT this morning! |
![]() |
![]() Cecile!!! I forgot to tell you, I saw a Power metal band this weekend called Holy Grail, there was SYNCHRONISED hair twirling and all kinds of other awesome nonsense. I was smiling and laughing so hard my cheeks hurt, I bet that has something to do with it. |
![]() |
![]() - Fred here is deffo bruxing : www.wfmu.org... - but may well be a chemical component in his case... |
![]() |
![]() merci, marshall stacks! |
![]() |
![]() I had a bite plate. It took about a year. I also had talk therapy and behavioral exercises. Learning to relax was very key. |
![]() |
![]() 2 guys in the band actually looked like real stallions from the cover of harlequin romance books, even galloping around with their guitars, it was too much. Off to Indian lunch y'all :) |
![]() |
![]() so Holy Grail are someone to look forward to? |

Hi Trouble. Rashida Jones' movie 'Celeste & Jesse Forever' actually has as ESG song on the soundtrack. Just a little tidbit. |
![]() |
![]() yeah, bruxism is grinding your teeth. It's dental slang. "Oh, look this teeth wear shows you're a bruxer!" |

What is JayZ trying to say in this song? |
![]() |
![]() @Jennique I was surprised they didn't use empire state. |
![]() |
![]() Otto: Jay-Z: I AM THE GREATEST, and Jackie Robinson was a'ight too. |

I'm glad to see that Mr Z is working through his self-esteem issues. |
![]() |
![]() Duane played it, I think |
![]() |
![]() Was Jay-z commissioned by the travel and tourism bureau to just rap about NY like the Chili Peppers were commissioned to sing about California? |
![]() |
![]() Pink Floyd's Final Cut album has some choice things to say about Margaret |
![]() |
![]() All the best words are four-letter words - ! Don't get people saying they don't 'get' Jazz - like it's a problem in Maths, not Music to enjoy...whatever! Of course, the words 'Jazz' & 'Rock'n'Roll' *are* euphimisms, in fact... |
![]() |
![]() Ha! - not everything in ChilliPepper songs about Cali. is flattering... |

as someone who unfortunately enjoys jazz and looking up background info, i read somewhere on the interwebs that he pronounced it "kwee-beck". | |
![]() |
![]() Jay-Z is not commissioned by anyone. He saw a need in the market and filled it. :D :D :D |
![]() |
![]() Speaking of Ben Watt, Tracey Thorn has a memoir out here in the UK www.amazon.co.uk... (available from lovely independent retailers too). It was serialised on Radio 4's Morning Story segment and is lovely. On my to-buy list. |
