	9:30am Thursday Fernworthy: ThursdayLand ❤️
	9:32am adrian elaine: @Itzall - ha! the ‘fucking’ was inspired by this poll about a Wm Carlos Wms poem - https://boingboing.net/2019/10/05/plumfuckers-r-us.html
	9:32am Andrew Waterloo: Oh no, I've been missing singles going steady week?
	9:34am prudy: lovely Hardy rendering...thank you Trouble!
	9:35am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: adrian elaine, that is both hilarious and obscure; two of my favorite qualities! Thanks for sharing. PS, the cake is not really so fucking delicious as we have been led to believe.
	9:37am Lunchbox3030: hey trouble :) coming out of my status as a lurker to guess that you are going to have more B sides than A sides. WFMU is just that kind of radio station. Loving singles going steady so far. how long do we have to pledge for hellraiser?
	9:40am Webhamster Henry: Here comes Gainsbourg!
	9:41am Julien à Montréal: Françoise! France! Serge! Merci Trouble pour cette belle matinée
	9:43am davefromtoronto: la peed peeper!
	9:45am Trouble: @lunchbox, thanks for coming out to vote! based on sound only, no avoiding the hits for me... hell raiser ends on oct 31
	9:46am Trouble: bonjour a julien: merci!
	9:47am jamie: just got back from Paris, loving this
	9:47am steveo: good morning Trouble; I saw your excellent Alice portrait recently.. hmm maybe I should come to the auction...
	9:49am dave wuz here: oui oui
	9:50am steveo: you got any Alice 45s? (did she release any?)
	9:52am Snoochienucci: whose this a cover of? im having trouble placing it lol
	9:53am sphere: I did not knew that Urge Overkill did this at all.
	9:53am Roberto: Wait, is this THE Urge Overkill?
	9:53am βrian: Where's Glenn?
	9:54am Trouble: 2nd jimmy webb song of the day. anybody know what the first one was?
	9:54am Listener Robert: I was hearing the echoey voice from this one and got the misimpression -- fixed by stepping into the room where the radio is -- that it was a chorus, which I thought was a boss idea. Then the thought occurred to me: Is there a Langley Middle School version of Lineman with a chorus doing just that?
	9:55am Listener Gregory: Macarthur Park
	9:55am Snoochienucci: sweet funky lord!
	9:56am CHUCK ROAST: Morning, Trouble. Sorry I'm late for class.
	9:56am βrian: No, Jimmy Webb did not write Les Sucettes!?
	9:57am Listener Robert: The idea of turning a lonely voice singing about a lonely job into a whole roomful of voices singing the same thing about being lonely on the job -- that would be fun. And it would still have the same, albeit paradoxic, meaning, because such employees, no matter how many of them there are, are indeed scattered over the land, separated from each other.
	9:57am Trouble: listener gregory for the win!
	9:58am LWRhino: Can anyone name the city where MacArther park is located????
	9:58am Roberto: For some reason, Ebony Eyes is my soundtrack to just about every sick day I took in 1978.
	9:59am Listener Robert: I love the rapid switching back and forth of this one between minor and major key.
	10:00am steveo: 1978 was a long time ago
	10:00am Vivian: Love Ebony Eyes1 Thanks Trouble, enjoying the show.
	10:01am steveo: "featuring Juice Newton on backing vocals"
	10:01am Listener Gregory: Dave Barry held a contest to see which pop song had the most ridiculous lyrics. Macarthur Park won. His son had never heard the song, and when Barry sang it for him, he couldn't be convinced that his humorist dad hadn't just made it up.
	10:04am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: CHUCK ROAST, I had a friend in high school named CHUCK BURGER- any relation?
	10:04am βrian: Had to sing Macarthur Park in high school chorale. Not an endearing experience, at all.
	10:04am Listener Gregory: Someone left the song out in the rain!
	10:05am Roberto: Well, Ebony Eyes and Paul Davis's version of "I Go Crazy."
	10:05am Priscilla: woo hoo!
	10:07am steveo: i wish i was listening to this in 1987
	10:08am Priscilla: I bought this record!
	10:08am CHUCK ROAST: Merely a nom de guerre
	10:08am Snoochienucci: THE BIRDDDSSSSSS!!!!
	10:13am Listener Gregory: I'm saying this to the other listeners and not to Trouble (because I don't want to embarrass her): She has the loveliest laugh on radio.
	10:17am sphere: @ CHUCK ROAST: or a "nom de cuisine."
	10:19am Chi Bill: Thanks Trouble, I gotsta check out Dawn Chorus, love the teenage kicks!
	10:20am βrian: Comment dire "fuhgeddaboudit?"
	10:21am Trouble: macarthur park: is it in chicago?
	10:23am Guido from Cologne: good old orange Polydor
	10:23am Lunchbox3030: @Trouble where do you find all this older french music? i really dig the sound
	10:26am Trouble: @lunchbox: fleamarkets in paris
	10:27am PKNY: yay, Beastie flexi disc for the win, greatest cover ever!
	10:27am Matt Fiveash: Yay Biz!
	10:27am benny: bbbbbbb benny and the jets bbbbest cover ever
	10:27am prudy: the biz must have had a few and a cassette player...
	10:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble and all!
	10:28am Roberto: This is glorious. 10/10.
	10:28am CHUCK ROAST: OK, here's the dirt. 30 some odd years ago, I was the front man for Chuck Roast and the Prime Cuts.
	10:28am βrian: From the 'pedia: "The inspiration for the song was his relationship and breakup with Susie Horton.[4] MacArthur Park, in Los Angeles, was where the couple would occasionally meet for lunch and spent their most enjoyable times together.[5] "
	10:28am PKNY: I got to see the Beasties and the Biz do this live at MSG, so great!
	10:29am alanr: What a perfect way to "celebrate" Elton's new biography.
	10:29am Fernando P: Hi Trouble, got any brazilian 7inch? Here in Curitiba they are hard to find.
	10:30am zopa: this biz markie is sublime!
	10:30am PKNY: Hopefully @Trouble will let the Biz beat box ride out at the end
	10:30am karen eliot: good morning! fantastic cover.
	10:33am Trouble: o right LA, of course! yes i do have a brazilian 7" @fernando p!
	10:33am steveo: "In the mid-1960s, [Bob] McGrath became a well-known recording artist in Japan, releasing a series of successful albums of Irish and other folk songs and ballads sung in Japanese."
	10:33am Cool Runnings: Oui, je kiffe cette chanson.
	10:34am Roberto: Trubs really bringin' the 'sichord this morning.
	10:34am LWRhino: Yep, L.A. (off of Wilshire Blvd.).
	10:35am B/wad: Hullo Trubble! Checkin' in from Vienna ;)
	10:37am LWRhino: Why can't NJ lose the Canadian Goose.
	10:38am βrian: Michigan's state bird is, yawn, the robin. Wisconsin's state bird is yawn, the robin.
	10:38am Hubig Pie: Never heard of Dawn Chorus and the blue tits, but I see they do a Bruce Springsteen cover too.
	10:39am Snoochienucci: BIIRDDDSSS BIIIIRRRRRRDDDDDSSSSSS!!!!!
	10:39am Snoochienucci: they are just so soothing
	10:41am βrian: @Snoochienucci: Don't forget the Blue Jay.
	10:41am zopa: Yay! It's story time with Robyn!
	10:42am Greg from ZONE 5: Robyn! Happy! I love this song so much.
	10:42am Lunchbox3030: love me some good spoken word
	10:50am βrian: That Robyn Hitchcock reminded me of Vivian Stanshall.
	10:50am Yes: hello sunny people
	10:51am ParUbi: Pennsylvania’s state bird is the Ruffed grouse, which is perfect
	10:52am Phillippe Bastille: good morning all
	10:53am Trouble: @ parUbi THAT is an amazing state bird, although difficult becasue it makes a nest on the ground?
	10:55am ParUbi: “Unlike other grouse species, the ruffed grouse relies entirely on a non-vocal acoustic display, known as drumming. The drumming itself is a rapid, wing-beating display that creates a low frequency sound, starting slow and speeding up (thump ... thump ... thump..thump-thump-thump-thump). Even in thick woods this can be heard for a .25 miles (0.40 km) or more.”
	10:56am βrian: And it's a game bird, too.
	10:58am ParUbi: Yeah, that, habitat loss, and West Nile are the big problems for these birds
	10:59am Lunchbox3030: the wood thrush is DC's state bird. I see them hopping around the garden sometime. cute little things.
	10:59am Richie Dubs: Enjoying the show! Robyn and Marianne!
	11:02am Hubig Pie: Colorado state bird is the Lark Bunting, which sounds like some sort of window treatment
	11:06am crateslinger: Riding my bicycle to work this morning a big Red-Tailed Hawk swooped across the road in front of me and settled in a tree above some construction workers in a park west of the corner of Flushing and Evergreen. I stopped and walked up on the sidewalk and once he figured out I was looking at him, he took off again. The construction guys never saw him at all.
	11:07am crateslinger: He (or she) was enormous. Now I have to look for his nest. I know there's a couple that live above the police station at Gates and Broadway. This is about 1.5 miles away, so probably another territory.
	11:08am ecehan: hello from istanbul amazing showw
	11:10am Jeff g.: Love this — it’s like time travel.
	11:11am Trouble: wow@ istanbul! good morning ecehan
	11:12am northguineahills: Things are getting weird, just had a phone interview w/ a cryptobrand tech agency that's actually Disney. Well, I worked for the federal government, I've been in the beast before.
	11:14am Ken From Hyde Park: @ngh - You can take them down from the inside. lays finger aside nose
	11:16am northguineahills: @Ken:I'm imagining a cross b/tn South Park and Simpson's Itchy & Scratchy land..
	11:17am tim from champaign: @ngh - you can sneak into Space Mountain for a nap.
	11:18am crateslinger: dang - hard to be you. ouch
	11:18am northguineahills: Unfortunately, it will just be GIS stuff...
	11:20am Faye: loving this show thanks Trouble!!
	11:21am Trouble: merci @ faye! x
	11:22am Trouble: @faye: my former student who is at NJIT studying animation loves it!! thanks to you...
	11:23am Faye: omg!!! that makes me so happy....
	11:25am Trouble: me too @faye!!!
	11:26am John from Florham park: Hello fellow troublemakers
	11:31am Priscilla: Oh peanuts! :-D
	11:32am Matt Fiveash: I love the guitar solo on "Peanuts"- comin up!
	11:32am Matt Fiveash: There it was!
	11:33am Matt Fiveash: Anyway lovin the hell out of this show today Trouble.
	11:33am unpopularfred: Weirdly enough I just passed the Cantab Lounge in Cambridge MA where Little Joe played Friday nights for ages
	11:34am Mike Wolf: I keep waiting to be able to say “OH! I have that 7-inch too!” but the closest is that I have the 12-inch of “Oblivious.” Seconded loving the hell out of this show.
	11:34am Matt Fiveash: Yes there was! You must have been distracted with other radio stuff while the guitarist was playing the solo
	11:38am Snoochienucci: @Trouble were/are you a professor at NJIT? I graduated from Arch school there a couple years back.
	11:40am Trouble: no @ snoochie...i teach high school in newark,
	11:41am βrian: women playing records to a girl in bed on a hospital bed
	11:42am Snoochienucci: @Trouble ahhh gotcha, i was going to say i missed out on a big connection! lol
	11:42am John from Florham park: @Trouble hope the rug rats don’t give you too much trouble
	11:46am Ike: Book recommendation: "Gideon the Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir: A hilarious book in which a swordswoman packs up her weapons and dirty magazines and tries to escape from a stifling old planet run by a family of necromancers. Skeletons ensue.
	11:47am John from Florham park: @ike will look for this book at the library
	11:50am Ike: Some of the action scenes are hard to follow, but other than that, it's very entertaining. Especially if you like haunted giant castles in space.
	11:51am tim from champaign: Wow, I liked the Make-Up song. I couldn't handle them when they were around even though I was a big Nation of Ulysses fan.
	11:55am Fernando P: Great Elis track. I guess thats a B side.
	11:57am Trouble: the a sides win: i am shocked!! 26-15, no sides or flexi = 7
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: 23! Thanks, Trouble. Don't know if I'll be with the sheep. Some friends might need help moving on Saturday.
	11:58am Trouble: thanks for sitting in and pledging your monied love to WFMU!
	11:59am Snoochienucci: Fantastic show Trouble! Another added to my favorites
	11:59am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Lixiviated Life: Strawberry everything
	12:00pm Listener Gregory: A-sides win?? Well, we are the winners. Thanks, Trouble.

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.

	9:43am davefromtoronto: la peed peeper!
	9:45am Trouble: @lunchbox, thanks for coming out to vote! based on sound only, no avoiding the hits for me... hell raiser ends on oct 31
	9:46am Trouble: bonjour a julien: merci!
	9:47am jamie: just got back from Paris, loving this
	9:47am steveo: good morning Trouble; I saw your excellent Alice portrait recently.. hmm maybe I should come to the auction...
	9:49am dave wuz here: oui oui
	9:50am steveo: you got any Alice 45s? (did she release any?)
	9:52am Snoochienucci: whose this a cover of? im having trouble placing it lol
	9:53am sphere: I did not knew that Urge Overkill did this at all.
	9:53am Roberto: Wait, is this THE Urge Overkill?
	9:53am βrian: Where's Glenn?
	9:54am Trouble: 2nd jimmy webb song of the day. anybody know what the first one was?
	9:54am Listener Robert: I was hearing the echoey voice from this one and got the misimpression -- fixed by stepping into the room where the radio is -- that it was a chorus, which I thought was a boss idea. Then the thought occurred to me: Is there a Langley Middle School version of Lineman with a chorus doing just that?
	9:55am Listener Gregory: Macarthur Park
	9:55am Snoochienucci: sweet funky lord!
	9:56am CHUCK ROAST: Morning, Trouble. Sorry I'm late for class.
	9:56am βrian: No, Jimmy Webb did not write Les Sucettes!?
	9:57am Listener Robert: The idea of turning a lonely voice singing about a lonely job into a whole roomful of voices singing the same thing about being lonely on the job -- that would be fun. And it would still have the same, albeit paradoxic, meaning, because such employees, no matter how many of them there are, are indeed scattered over the land, separated from each other.
	9:57am Trouble: listener gregory for the win!
	9:58am LWRhino: Can anyone name the city where MacArther park is located????
	9:58am Roberto: For some reason, Ebony Eyes is my soundtrack to just about every sick day I took in 1978.
	9:59am Listener Robert: I love the rapid switching back and forth of this one between minor and major key.
	10:00am steveo: 1978 was a long time ago
	10:00am Vivian: Love Ebony Eyes1 Thanks Trouble, enjoying the show.
	10:01am steveo: "featuring Juice Newton on backing vocals"
	10:01am Listener Gregory: Dave Barry held a contest to see which pop song had the most ridiculous lyrics. Macarthur Park won. His son had never heard the song, and when Barry sang it for him, he couldn't be convinced that his humorist dad hadn't just made it up.
	10:04am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: CHUCK ROAST, I had a friend in high school named CHUCK BURGER- any relation?
	10:04am βrian: Had to sing Macarthur Park in high school chorale. Not an endearing experience, at all.
	10:04am Listener Gregory: Someone left the song out in the rain!
	10:05am Roberto: Well, Ebony Eyes and Paul Davis's version of "I Go Crazy."
	10:05am Priscilla: woo hoo!
	10:07am steveo: i wish i was listening to this in 1987
	10:08am Priscilla: I bought this record!
	10:08am CHUCK ROAST: Merely a nom de guerre
	10:08am Snoochienucci: THE BIRDDDSSSSSS!!!!
	10:13am Listener Gregory: I'm saying this to the other listeners and not to Trouble (because I don't want to embarrass her): She has the loveliest laugh on radio.
	10:17am sphere: @ CHUCK ROAST: or a "nom de cuisine."
	10:19am Chi Bill: Thanks Trouble, I gotsta check out Dawn Chorus, love the teenage kicks!

	10:27am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble and all!
	10:28am Roberto: This is glorious. 10/10.
	10:28am CHUCK ROAST: OK, here's the dirt. 30 some odd years ago, I was the front man for Chuck Roast and the Prime Cuts.
	10:28am βrian: From the 'pedia: "The inspiration for the song was his relationship and breakup with Susie Horton.[4] MacArthur Park, in Los Angeles, was where the couple would occasionally meet for lunch and spent their most enjoyable times together.[5] "
	10:28am PKNY: I got to see the Beasties and the Biz do this live at MSG, so great!
	10:29am alanr: What a perfect way to "celebrate" Elton's new biography.
	10:29am Fernando P: Hi Trouble, got any brazilian 7inch? Here in Curitiba they are hard to find.
	10:30am zopa: this biz markie is sublime!
	10:30am PKNY: Hopefully @Trouble will let the Biz beat box ride out at the end
	10:30am karen eliot: good morning! fantastic cover.
	10:33am Trouble: o right LA, of course! yes i do have a brazilian 7" @fernando p!
	10:33am steveo: "In the mid-1960s, [Bob] McGrath became a well-known recording artist in Japan, releasing a series of successful albums of Irish and other folk songs and ballads sung in Japanese."
	10:33am Cool Runnings: Oui, je kiffe cette chanson.
	10:34am Roberto: Trubs really bringin' the 'sichord this morning.
	10:34am LWRhino: Yep, L.A. (off of Wilshire Blvd.).
	10:35am B/wad: Hullo Trubble! Checkin' in from Vienna ;)
	10:37am LWRhino: Why can't NJ lose the Canadian Goose.
	10:38am βrian: Michigan's state bird is, yawn, the robin. Wisconsin's state bird is yawn, the robin.
	10:38am Hubig Pie: Never heard of Dawn Chorus and the blue tits, but I see they do a Bruce Springsteen cover too.
	10:39am Snoochienucci: BIIRDDDSSS BIIIIRRRRRRDDDDDSSSSSS!!!!!
	10:39am Snoochienucci: they are just so soothing
	10:41am βrian: @Snoochienucci: Don't forget the Blue Jay.
	10:41am zopa: Yay! It's story time with Robyn!
	10:42am Greg from ZONE 5: Robyn! Happy! I love this song so much.
	10:42am Lunchbox3030: love me some good spoken word
	10:50am βrian: That Robyn Hitchcock reminded me of Vivian Stanshall.
	10:50am Yes: hello sunny people
	10:51am ParUbi: Pennsylvania’s state bird is the Ruffed grouse, which is perfect
	10:52am Phillippe Bastille: good morning all
	10:53am Trouble: @ parUbi THAT is an amazing state bird, although difficult becasue it makes a nest on the ground?
	10:55am ParUbi: “Unlike other grouse species, the ruffed grouse relies entirely on a non-vocal acoustic display, known as drumming. The drumming itself is a rapid, wing-beating display that creates a low frequency sound, starting slow and speeding up (thump ... thump ... thump..thump-thump-thump-thump). Even in thick woods this can be heard for a .25 miles (0.40 km) or more.”
	10:56am βrian: And it's a game bird, too.
	10:58am ParUbi: Yeah, that, habitat loss, and West Nile are the big problems for these birds
	10:59am Lunchbox3030: the wood thrush is DC's state bird. I see them hopping around the garden sometime. cute little things.
	10:59am Richie Dubs: Enjoying the show! Robyn and Marianne!
	11:02am Hubig Pie: Colorado state bird is the Lark Bunting, which sounds like some sort of window treatment
	11:06am crateslinger: Riding my bicycle to work this morning a big Red-Tailed Hawk swooped across the road in front of me and settled in a tree above some construction workers in a park west of the corner of Flushing and Evergreen. I stopped and walked up on the sidewalk and once he figured out I was looking at him, he took off again. The construction guys never saw him at all.
	11:07am crateslinger: He (or she) was enormous. Now I have to look for his nest. I know there's a couple that live above the police station at Gates and Broadway. This is about 1.5 miles away, so probably another territory.
	11:08am ecehan: hello from istanbul amazing showw

	11:34am Matt Fiveash: Yes there was! You must have been distracted with other radio stuff while the guitarist was playing the solo
	11:38am Snoochienucci: @Trouble were/are you a professor at NJIT? I graduated from Arch school there a couple years back.

	11:42am John from Florham park: @Trouble hope the rug rats don’t give you too much trouble
	11:46am Ike: Book recommendation: "Gideon the Ninth" by Tamsyn Muir: A hilarious book in which a swordswoman packs up her weapons and dirty magazines and tries to escape from a stifling old planet run by a family of necromancers. Skeletons ensue.
	11:47am John from Florham park: @ike will look for this book at the library
	11:50am Ike: Some of the action scenes are hard to follow, but other than that, it's very entertaining. Especially if you like haunted giant castles in space.
	11:51am tim from champaign: Wow, I liked the Make-Up song. I couldn't handle them when they were around even though I was a big Nation of Ulysses fan.
	11:55am Fernando P: Great Elis track. I guess thats a B side.
