Playlist for This Is the Modern World with Trouble - May 29, 2008

Thursdays 9am - Noon on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

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.

Buenos Dias from Buffalo, where we're still getting freeze & frost warnings.

Thu. 5/29/08 9:23am From: Cecile

Thu. 5/29/08 9:37am From: Cecile

PUM-ice, not poo-mice, trouble!
My mineralogist dad would kill me if I didn't speak up.

Thu. 5/29/08 9:38am From: haz

Who is Jimmy? A Jimi impersonator?

Thu. 5/29/08 9:43am From: trouble

Thu. 5/29/08 9:47am From: Cecile

PUM-is is probably correcter...

And a big MERCI for playing Little Trouble Girl

Thu. 5/29/08 9:49am From: haz

Je vous en prie. Love the Jim/Little Trouble Girl combo BTW.

Thu. 5/29/08 9:50am From: Drew

Sick song here.

Thu. 5/29/08 9:52am From: amanda.atx

wow this is great.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:12am From: dc pat

whoa! is that the cd skipping or the 32k stream?

Thu. 5/29/08 10:12am From: androo

are we allowed to make requests in here?

Thu. 5/29/08 10:17am From: jamesie

I got this on Mercury label when I was a teen lout with dyed black hair and a Triumph Bonneville, danced to it at the Fish in Southgate in North London. There were a lot of Teds then in the early 70's just before we all wore donkey jackets and red vinyl tousers but we kept our brothel creepers! Sonny Curtis was played a lot there.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:17am From: trouble

requests are cool, if they firtin with the show, and you don't mind waiting til perhaps next week, depending on how much time I have to escape the studio and run and look for it, and IF we have it...

Thu. 5/29/08 10:19am From: trouble

i alerted the man in charge, but the 32 k stream prob could be on your end, no skipping cd's here.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:19am From: Rococo Pagoda

Cool daxophone playing from Reichel!

Thu. 5/29/08 10:19am From: dc pat

when exactly DID people in England start wearing creepers?

Thu. 5/29/08 10:20am From: dc pat

OK, in light of the problems yesterday I thought I'd mention it.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:22am From: jamesie

Brothel creepers were worn in the 50's when my mum would point at them and say "look at the Teddy Boys, James!" as we drove past in the Humber Hawk.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:24am From: Cecile

I might have to buy that vetiver record...

Thu. 5/29/08 10:26am From: jonathan

so mutantes! gracias.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:27am From: jonathan

i mean, os.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:28am From: Bruce

This song was sampled for another song, Monkeys on the Moon. Prefer the orginial. Thanks Trouble!

Thu. 5/29/08 10:29am From: dc pat

Definitely MY favorite kind of shoes.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:37am From: dc pat

so jamesie, who invented punk rock--England or the US?

Thu. 5/29/08 10:39am From: Carmichael

Trouble, you're mellowing my harshness ............

Thu. 5/29/08 10:42am From: 55 Fingers

Toni Basil invented punk rock while she and Dennis Hopper were tripping on the set of 'Easy Rider.'

Thu. 5/29/08 10:44am From: dc pat

1 vote for the US

Thu. 5/29/08 10:48am From: Swami

I vote for Pangea as the iventor of Punk Rawk.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:49am From: Swami

Inventor. Iventor is a new HVAC system created by Apple.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:49am From: Cecile

Gondwanaland

Thu. 5/29/08 10:51am From: m

i swear they were saying "player piano" at first.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:51am From: jamesie

>so jamesie, who invented punk rock--England or the US?

you know we resonate across the water, togther. Sometimes its like ping-pong but back in 1974 if you were drinking in the Roebuck in the Kings Road with Jordan and all the other vinyl-wearers - you would be forgiven for thinking the Brits did - but where would we have been without the Ramones or the disgust and nausea of listening to Genesis. Rockabilly and Dub and donkey jackets and brothel creepers gave way to postcards of strange hairdos 4 years later.

Thu. 5/29/08 10:53am From: dc pat

hmm, nice answer. Most of the time when I poll the English about this age-old controversy, I get a butt-load of nationalism.

Thu. 5/29/08 11:02am From: Carmichael

My next band will be called The Brothel Creepers.

Thu. 5/29/08 11:10am From: Parq

Dusty Springfield did "Spooky"? Be still my heart.

Thu. 5/29/08 11:11am From: sugarwolf

I googled Zoe and the Stormies... I'm gonna have to start calling myself Zoitsa now....

Thu. 5/29/08 11:20am From: Ronny Jotten

According to Jeffrey Lewis, punk rock started in the Lower E. He makes a pretty convincing argument.

Thu. 5/29/08 11:23am From: Bad Ronald

What about Detroit?

Thu. 5/29/08 11:25am From: Carmichael

What about Pittsburgh PA .....

Thu. 5/29/08 11:26am From: Carmichael

Sorry, couldn't pass up the obvious "Life During Wartime" reference.

Thu. 5/29/08 11:27am From: Bad Ronald

OK, now I got it... draggin a bit today...

Thu. 5/29/08 11:28am From: lucky

punk rock was not "invented". it grew organically and rhizomatically in many places and many forms.

garage? psych? detroit 60's rock? free jazz? VU? glam? prog? CBGB's? roxy? the masque? the wilson center? who can say?

what's so special about first anyway? i would never trade my pistols records for PIL's metal box.

but that's just my point of view.....

Thu. 5/29/08 11:30am From: Mark in Kansas

Hey DJ, this is the most ____(insert currently popular superlative) show I have heard in ages. You are ____(insert hyperbolic gerund description of audio induced bliss) my experience. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Thu. 5/29/08 11:30am From: Carmichael

My next band will be called "The Rhizomatics".

Thu. 5/29/08 11:34am From: dc pat

"wilson center"?? you must be from dc..

Thu. 5/29/08 11:35am From: lucky

i'm from NJ.

hi James!

Thu. 5/29/08 11:36am From: jamesie

hey andrew I m from crummy chiswick

Thu. 5/29/08 11:38am From: dc pat

SING IT JEFFREY!!

Thu. 5/29/08 11:39am From: lucky

i can't think of "chiswick" without thinking of motorhead. i loved chiswick myself.

:-)

oh, i forgot krautrock...talk about punk!

Thu. 5/29/08 11:41am From: amanda

england steals all the credit, ha

Thu. 5/29/08 11:45am From: dc pat

the England vs US punk debate always breaks down into the roots of roots of roots. Personally, I think it all started w/ Charlie Patton and Howlin Wolf.. but I was really just trying to start an argument...Griel Marcus thinks it started w/ eschatological movements of the middle ages.

Thu. 5/29/08 11:47am From: Cecile

but then again Marcus writes off the NY punk bands as "just local bands" if he's ever asked about US contributions to punk.

Thu. 5/29/08 11:53am From: Doug

Is this your Tony Coulter impression then?

Thu. 5/29/08 11:54am From: Matt

I always wondered why people respect Marcus so much.......I mean, he's no Byron Coley!

Thu. 5/29/08 11:56am From: lucky

i'm not a huge marcus fan, but maybe "just local bands" is a good thing. one's personal interpratation of the music is perhaps more important than some monothesistic history handed down from above.

i agree marcus is slagging when he writes that...i wonder if he thought that was the most inflamatory thing he could say. very talk radio.

hip-hip-hooray for wolf and patton, but i have never heard the middle ages. do they have something out on CD?

Thu. 5/29/08 11:57am From: Bad Ronald

Joseph Pujol invented Punk

Thu. 5/29/08 12:00pm From: dc pat

mm, but what we're talking about is a history that has grown by itself and was mostly ignored from above. That's what makes it interesting to me.

Sat. 5/31/08 1:19pm From: florian

oh dj trouble, this one is so wonderful. thank you

Thu. 6/5/08 7:49am From: Lenny

Trouble would you please play "Piano Fire" by Sparklehorse
