	♥ 9:08am David (in London): Hey p20. That book chat feels simultaneously both like ten minutes and twenty years ago. Thanks again for doing it. And your polyhedral pizza reminds me of a vampire squid, too.
	♥ 9:08am David (in London): Hey gang, Handy, Phillippe, P20 (again), sphere et al.
	♥ 9:09am p20: The list started with people mentioning their all-time favorites, but shifted toward dystopian sci-fi ("The Stand", etc). I find that right now, I have very little taste for dystopia... I've been reading Chateaubriand and Proust for pure escape.
	♥ 9:09am Stanley: Hi Trouble, David and everyone. I'm finally settling down to do some 'work'
	♥ 9:10am Handy Haversack: Hey, David. Et al.! Et al.! I am reading _Felix Arabia_ now: story of a 1760s Danish scientific expedition to Arabia.

	9:11am wompat: Good morning everyone
	9:11am sugarwolf: Hello!!
	♥ 9:11am steveo: Good morning! I can't believe it's Thursday already and yet last Thursday seems very long ago. A paradox of these times.
	♥ 9:11am Trouble: you don't mind if i play this song constantly, do you?
	♥ 9:12am Handy Haversack: Do it, Trouble!
	♥ 9:12am ParUbi: Owl love to be here

	♥ 9:15am Trouble: good morning Irene, merci!
	♥ 9:16am pantz: I'm reading Wizard of Earthsea and I love it. Thanks to whomever suggested it.
	9:17am wizard frog: Where is the best place to read in the house? I found reading on the commute so easy but not so much at home. Bed just doesn't cut it. Feel so restless to do other things at home.
	♥ 9:17am ParUbi: I'm reading Kafka's diaries. Springtime fun
	9:18am Sketch: Big tune
	9:18am Sketch: Big up Leroy Sibbles

	9:18am sugarwolf!!!: Thanks for the list, p20. I have Hawksmoor somewhere and many more Ackroyd books as well.

	9:20am Sketch: Lead singer of this group had a successful country career in Toronto after he left JA
	9:20am sphere: this Heptones song is totally divine.
	♥ 9:20am pantz: I've tried to read 1Q84 three times and get distracted halfway through. Probably gonna try to tackle that one next and then some Thomas Merton.
	♥ 9:20am p20: @WizardFrog: "He who reads in bed, also sleeps in the library". If you can, try to set up a dedicated reading nook... a comfortable-but-not-too-laid-back chair and good lighting.
	♥ 9:21am LCBD: This is a treat. Just getting used to having radio access all day - a silver lining for sure. Thanks Trouble!
	9:21am wizard frog: Thanks p20!
	♥ 9:22am Handy Haversack: @ParUbi: Very cool. I assume the Muirs are not still the translators? Good stuff?
	♥ 9:22am Phillippe Bastille: Hey Handy, hey sphere. All good, my friends?
	♥ 9:23am Roberto: This girl (who happens to be called Eddy) is growing on me.
	♥ 9:23am melinda: Morning everyone! Love the owls.
	♥ 9:23am Phillippe Bastille: Hey DiL, how are things?
	9:24am sphere: hey Phillippe hey David :)
	♥ 9:25am steveo: the owls love Bowie
	♥ 9:25am Threemoons: BOWIE IN THE AM always good!
	♥ 9:26am melinda: @p20 I can't imagine choosing to read or watch dystopian fiction right now.
	♥ 9:26am ParUbi: The first half was translated by Joseph Kresh. The material from 1914 on was translated by Martin Greenberg under the guidance of Hannah Arendt. I don't have the German open next to it, but really haven't felt the need to. It's moves back and forth between the nightmarish and quotidian. The dreams are really interesting, and I just passed the point were he met Rudolf Steiner
	9:27am peter in SEA: Bon Jour Trouble and all. OWLS! Will there be an Athena theme today?
	♥ 9:27am Handy Haversack: @ParUbi: Thanks! Very cool. If the libraries ever reopen ... etc.

	9:32am miniteeny: Cold Skin by Albert Sanchez Pinol
	♥ 9:32am Baja Joe: Watership Down- Richard Adams
	9:32am Mike Doughty: Jack Gilbert, The Great Fires. Poems about his life after the death of his wife. Very, very readable, and moving.
	♥ 9:32am Mike H: Common Ground by J. Anthony Lukas. Absolutely stunning piece of reporting.
	♥ 9:33am WoodsOfNH: The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. Loved it!
	♥ 9:33am EG_Astro: NK Jemisin - the fifth season (the broken earth Trilogy) Carr, Cynthia: Fire in the Belly: The Life and Times of David Wojnarowicz Berlant: Cruel Optimism

	♥ 9:34am Joe non Papa: Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward
	♥ 9:34am pantz: P G Wodehouse! Any Jeeves or Blandings Castle stories. Delightful whimsy, and if you're into audiobooks Stephen Fry does most of the readings.
	♥ 9:35am ParUbi: The noble prize winner! How is the Olga Tokarczuk, Chris?
	♥ 9:35am Tome: good Morning DJ Trouble glad you're all here <>
	♥ 9:35am Jeff formerly from Rahway: My teenage son bought me "The Great Influenza" by John M. Barry back in February. It's about the 1918-19 flu pandemic. It's giving me insight on how viruses attack and spread and how the human body - and humanity - respond. History is repeating itself. I'm about half-way through.
	♥ 9:35am p20: Book list here: you can add to it! docs.google.com...
	♥ 9:35am LCBD: Deacon King Kong by James McBride is great! I’m just 1/3 in but love it.
	9:36am Bill W: glad u r freed from yr closet, Trouble

	9:36am Barbie: Vernon Subutex - Virginie Despentes
	9:36am kleoville: I need more cheerful things to read, but currently reading Romance in Marseilles by Claude McKay and recently finished The Emissary by Yoko Tawada. That one is kind of topical and beautifully strange.
	9:36am sphere: The Worm Ouroboros by E.R. Eddison. Pre-Tolkien fantasy with weird and gorgeous prose.
	♥ 9:36am pantz: @Joe non Papa Of course! Heck, just read it all.
	♥ 9:36am Chris J: @ParUbi, I really liked Olga's book. Also read her "Flights." Very good too!

	♥ 9:37am p20: (I'll try to add all the titles mentioned today!)
	♥ 9:38am p20: Trouble: Thanks for reminding people about libraries and independent bookstores. Don't buy anything from AMAZON if you can possibly help it.
	♥ 9:38am Tome: < my sister got a wonderful surprise 3 or them Yellow Crested NIght Heron(e) ( I think .. ) (?) ,, just hanging out one leg up on the desk railing awesome !<> !
	9:38am P-90: Some one must have mentioned “Love in the Time of Cholera” (Grossman translation) by now?
	♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH: @kleoville Agreed. I can't read anything heavy right about now.
	9:39am Quinn: My kid is going through all the ebooks our library offers. We got my mom to give us her library card number too so we could access her library’s ebook catalog — PRO TIP!
	♥ 9:39am Handy Haversack: Gonna do two. New, freshly read. Still have that new book smell: Famous Men Who Never Lived, by K. Chess. Warning: ugh, those feels again. But beautiful. Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir. Lesbian necromancers in spaaaaaaaaaaace! Because it's still OK to have some damn fun! Good call on Eddison, @sphere! And on Wodehouse! We just ordered $100 in books from our local independent bookstore, and my work is going to reimburse me for them, which is just a really great thing for them to do!
	9:40am peter in SEA: Fiction: Wittgenstein's Mistress, David Markson Non-fiction: The Book of Bamboo, Sierra Club, 1984, David Farrelly :-)
	♥ 9:40am Trouble: very cool @ tome!
	♥ 9:40am melinda: @p20 I think some people do like dystopia right now, stiffer constitution I guess.
	♥ 9:40am Joe non Papa: Terry Pratchett's humorous Discworld fantasies.
	9:41am P-90: @Trouble: Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry also did some very nice Jeeves and Wooster series for the BBC, well worth checking out if you haven’t already.
	♥ 9:41am Handy Haversack: @Tome: Nice! Where were they spotted? We were down by the creek yesterday, but no herons. Merganser, cormorant, herring gulls, Canada geese. I miss the black-crowned night herons of Newtown Creek!
	9:41am ?: Link to NYS library eCard for access to eAudio & eBooks :) https://disc.bklynlibrary.org/ecard/Default.aspx
	♥ 9:41am yawnathon: "Oranges" by John McPhee is fascinating and a pretty short read (nonfiction)
	9:42am sphere: Also to even things up, Greer Gilman's Moonwise is post-Joycean fantasy and is totally awesome (tho hard to find). This is for you Handy.
	♥ 9:42am p20: @peter in SEA: Thanks for reminding me about that Markson. It's been on my shelf for years now and I've stopped seeing it. Time to take it down and actually read it...
	♥ 9:42am Peter from Dover NJ: A book that quite resonated me: "The Hidden", by Tobias Hill.
	♥ 9:43am Handy Haversack: Thanks, @sphere! Very nice! I will def. begin to scour for it!
	♥ 9:43am Tome: OceanSide Long Island very unusual eveyone says they are usually not found north of Virginia this time of year this was a first !,.! @ Handy
	9:43am MUWFinMASS: I keep wondering what sort of broadcast i’m listening to: real-time live from fmu studios<> live from home<>pre-recorded from home Dj Acu live<> archive recording <> other? Hey could a coding sys be attached to each broadcast or somewhere for a “now playing” show moving ahead? just wondering as, wait... when am i listening?? keeps occurring to me and waiting or catching a voice break is random... -thx
	♥ 9:43am Priscilla: Haven't read it, but "Wow, No Thank You" sounds good nyti.ms...
	♥ 9:43am David (in London): Since we're getting back to it, I'll chuck in The Manuscript Found in Saragossa by Jan Potocki.
	♥ 9:44am Joe non Papa: There was an earlier BBC Wodehouse series called Wodehouse Playhouse. It was presented by P.G. himself. The main actors came out of the original version of Upstairs Downstairs from the early 1970s.
	♥ 9:44am Andrew Waterloo: Book Rec: Stranger than You can Imagine by John Higg. He writes about the 20th century with the view that it was driven by changes in human perspective. He also wrote a great book about the KLF.
	♥ 9:44am WoodsOfNH: I just added Patti Smith's Year Of The Monkey. So good I read it three times.
	♥ 9:45am Trouble: this is not an archived show!
	9:45am peter in SEA: Milkman, Anna Burns ;-) Can't wait to read her new one, Little Constructions.
	♥ 9:46am Handy Haversack: A sign of spring coming, @Tome. That's really great. Makes me very happy. Ugh, now I am having those feels again!
	♥ 9:46am p20: Thanks to WoodsOfNH and anybody else who added to the list! After the show I'll try to add the titles/authors mentioned here today.
	♥ 9:48am βrian: Six-year-old: "How many minutes until ...?" "How many minutes until ...?" "How many minutes until ...?" ...
	♥ 9:48am Tome: only wish I can be there now ,, I'm in Brooklyn only 20 miles West , but we are family just keeping out distances for now ,,YES my sister was overwelmed and i am glad for just that and that all are well my 2 nephews aso !,>!
	♥ 9:49am Handy Haversack: I'm in Brooklyn, too, Tome. The creek we were by yesterday: Newtown Creek! Because you can't spell "Superfund" without "superfun"! I lead bird-watching canoe trips on it in the summer ...
	9:50am peter in SEA: Thanks, @p20 for that spreadsheet!
	♥ 9:50am ParUbi: I'm going to put Can Xue's _Frontier_ out there. It's a very strange book, dreamlike and disorienting. It can be frustrating if you're into linear narrative, but it opened my eyes to the range and vibrancy of contemporary Chinese literature. Definitely a trip.
	♥ 9:50am WoodsOfNH: Also just added Brautigan's Trout Fishing In America. Somehow, I missed this back in the day. Strangest and funniest thing I've read in quite some time.
	9:51am mb: Trouble is on? Must be Thursday Hello WFMU and constituents. Thanks for putting up a new show, DJ
	9:51am peter in SEA: Early stuff by HA Jin! Waiting and War Trash are exceptional; the later stuff not as interesting....to me.
	♥ 9:52am pantz: @ParUbi Have you read Cixin's The Three-Body Problem? I think you might like it.
	♥ 9:52am Tome: ahh right ,, i'm @ the other End SheepBay ,, might even get over to marsh by belt pky ,, to see that i can see if I can ever get away from online workers/ friends ,,, * first things first * that's grat Handy
	♥ 9:52am David (in London): @WoodsofNH - Yeah man, good choice. I picked up a copy of 'Revenge of the Lawn' donkey's years ago in a second hand bookshop and was blown away.
	♥ 9:52am Handy Haversack: @ParUbu: Check out the anthology The Reincarnated Giant, too. Contemporary Chinese SF.
	9:53am Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn: Good morning Trouble, 'morning everyone.
	9:53am Chud: I just re-read Ted Chiang's collection of short stories. Gets me every time
	♥ 9:54am WoodsOfNH: @David (in London). Yeah. As I read it I had that "How did I not know about this?!!" sort of feeling. Same thing happened to us recently when we discovered narrow boats (and have taken the narrow boat deep dive on youtube)
	♥ 9:54am Roberto: Christine is the Perfect balm for these times.
	♥ 9:54am common: never heard this version. thank you, trouble. christine.
	♥ 9:54am Handy Haversack: (*^i) @Tome: Saw great blue herons, egrets, swans, red-wing blackbirds last summer paddling up Coney Island Creek!
	♥ 9:54am melinda: Hearing the opening piano tinkles of Hold Me made me very happy. Memories!
	9:54am TicklePolyester: This version is shocking me to my core.
	♥ 9:54am Mailman Tom: I love the sound of Christine's voice
	♥ 9:55am ParUbi: @pantz-- I did! I read the first two in that series. Very exciting and innovative series. I have to get the third book!
	♥ 9:55am βrian: We have a nearby connecting sidewalk bordered on both sides by dense bushes. We often see Cooper's hawks swooping through there at about 4 ft of height, looking to flush out the sparrows who shelter there. It's pretty dramatic if you happen to be walking there.
	9:55am sphere: @ Chud - Who knew that Hollywood would turn The Story Of Your Life into a movie?!? Weird but it worked.
	♥ 9:55am David (in London): @Woods, My brother and his wife live up in Northamptonshire here in the UK, by the canal, with their narrow boat moored at the end of the garden. It's a pretty idylic arrangement.
	♥ 9:56am p20: @WoodsOfNH: +1 on the Brautigan. I was recently listening to "Trout Steel" by Mike Cooper which is partly inspired by "Trout Fishing in America". If you've never heard this album, check it out!
	9:56am 79.5: yeah!! Thanks Trouble! lots of love from Kate! hope you're hangin in there xo
	♥ 9:56am Andrew Waterloo: I was recommending WFMU to a workmate because the live radio aspect helps ground me in a schedule. Or in simple terms, helps me no Thursday morning is Thursday morning
	♥ 9:56am Tome: ,,, agrees with the Mailman wholehearedly ,,, like Stevie but Christine's songs are just so uplifting some of them happy and bursting with love !<>!
	♥ 9:57am Handy Haversack: 79.5! Our local Kate shouted "79.5!" with the first notes! Sounded great!
	9:57am 79.5: Christine is my fav
	♥ 9:57am Priscilla: @Handy: We had 4 redwing blackbirds at the backyard feeder this morning. Amazingly beautiful!
	♥ 9:57am Trouble: giant thank you to matt warwick holding down the studio reigns at WFMU HQ while i dj from home.
	9:57am prudy: I read mostly nonfiction which right now feels difficult...but anyways...Heaven's Coast by Mark Doty...beautiful elegy to his lover lost to AIDS...writing is sublime...
	9:57am Chud: @sphere, yeah, I thought it was pretty good! But not quite as exceptional as the original
	♥ 9:57am WoodsOfNH: @David (in London) Nice!
	♥ 9:58am Tome: @handy I need to get myself in floating in a kyak been long time indeed !<>! that's great
	9:58am Gregory: I read a lot of mysteries and thrillers. A few that may transport you for a while: 1. Six Four by Hideo Yokoyama an oddly engaging Japanese bureaucratic thriller. 2. Restless by William Boyd a lyrical Brishish espionage story
	9:58am Chud: @sphere when you can give away the twist in the beginning and still make it powerful at the end... just damn!
	♥ 9:58am βrian: Do I hear a ruby-throated bottle blower?
	9:59am sphere: @Chud - totally!
	♥ 9:59am EG_Astro: bail rollbacks are in the budget. what a nightmare.
	♥ 9:59am Priscilla: We jumped on the Tiger King bandwagon. It's like watching a car wreck.
	♥ 9:59am pantz: @Brian very rude. That's Trouble you hear ;)
	10:00am sphere: Thanks, Mr. Warwick!
	♥ 10:00am βrian: No, silly, the track behind Trouble. A really interesting sound.
	♥ 10:00am fred: @trouble: Thomas Bonvalet's solo project is "L'ocelle mare", his live sets are fantastic
	♥ 10:01am WoodsOfNH: @p20 Thanks. I'll have to look for that.
	♥ 10:01am Trouble: merci@ fred, will look that up!
	10:03am Gregory: Oh for all the Francophiles here I shoudl add, ALEX by Pierre Lemaitre.
	♥ 10:04am Handy Haversack: Matt, this board is OPPED! Thanks!
	10:04am Deborah: I am finishing Little Fires Everywhere and yes, watching the miniseries. The book is a good read. My favorite books include AVA, The Waves, When Breath Becomes Air. Not exactly escapist, though.
	♥ 10:05am David (in London): Ah, Dorothy Ashby. She'll help soothe our troubled brows.
	♥ 10:05am βrian: I almost expect to hear Ken Nordine here.
	10:05am peter in SEA: For all you art teacher types ;-) : Lynda Barry's new one: Making Comics is fantastique! As was her earlier Syllabus, and of course all of the Freddy and Maybonne comics and Ernie Pook's Comeek :-)
	♥ 10:06am David (in London): βrian - You are lucky that you are not sitting next to me, or I would treat to you a (really terrible) Ken Nordine impression immediately. "Crimson, now he's a jazzy kind of guy...."
	♥ 10:08am JtotheK: Nice Dorothy Ashby track ... I have some 'best of' comp of her Prestige material (issued by Prestige, which opens with this track) - haven't listened to that in a while. Hiya Trouble, hi everyone.
	10:08am wizard frog: Crimson, a colour red-dy to bleed saccharine tones through to your bones... (yikes)
	♥ 10:09am Doug Schulkind: Dorothy Ashby had a radio show on WJR in Detroit.
	♥ 10:09am βrian: @DIL: Does he follow you around, too, commenting on passersby? Why, sometimes I just can't shake the guy!
	♥ 10:09am Marley P. Dogg: This Dorothy Ashby song is just what I needed right now
	♥ 10:10am Trouble: wow! i did not know that @doug. that must have been amazing!
	♥ 10:12am David (in London): βrian - Yes indeed. Added to which, my iPod (other MP3 players are available) seems to absolutely LOVE him when it's on shuffle. He's always popping up at unexpected moments.
	10:12am LCBD: @Handy, I’d love to have go bird watching with you this summer. Let’s talk about that if/when possible...
	10:13am testingwithfire: II'm busy translating something from French into (UK) English, so Trouble's show is the perfect soundtrack!
	10:14am Micheal: Thank you for Thursday, Trouble (and Matt)!
	♥ 10:14am Handy Haversack: @LCBD: It's a deal!
	♥ 10:15am Ken From Hyde Park: @LCBD, @Handy - I understand DJ Mayuko is also a bird enthusiast.
	10:15am testingwithfire: WFMU is very much helping me keep my days of the week straight. Clocks go back in most of Chile on Sunday, so there'll be some extra confusion for me for a while!
	♥ 10:15am Marley P. Dogg: I love the dub vibe of this song
	♥ 10:16am listener monica: that unique sound of massive attack (whose name i can never remember.)
	10:16am Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn: (Very) late to the game here, that was the FIRST song I've ever heard by Massive Attack- always tempted to buy their records but really had no idea what they sounded like. Good stuff.
	♥ 10:17am βrian: "Dessine-moi un mouton."
	10:17am ToTetsu: Oh Kraftwerk. we are the robots blepboopbeebboob
	♥ 10:17am Phillippe Bastille: @Handy @tome ~@9:40 we have a nice mix of winter and spring birds here now. a half dozen herons, a pair of osprey, a cormorant, mallards, a kingfisher, and a few buffleheads that returned for a bite yesterday. One of the osprey had a fish so big he had trouble getting airborne. One of the pair dropped a 14 inch shad in my neighbor's yard yesterday
	♥ 10:18am Asheville Jon: my thoughts exactly ToTetsu. i thought this was gonna be a Robots cover.
	10:19am testingwithfire: believe it or not there are snipes here (the South American snipe). So my very first snipe "hunt" (via spotting scope and binoculars) was a success!
	♥ 10:19am Phillippe Bastille: ah, and an egret
	♥ 10:19am βrian: Buffleheads! Love them. They ought to form a band, too.
	♥ 10:20am karlward: I feel like this whole song is a build up to Nancy saying "Get Innocuous."
	♥ 10:20am Handy Haversack: Amazing, @Phillippe. @Ken fHP: Cool! I don't know Mayuko's show. Will have to investigate. Buffleheads are America's cutest duck and therefore most deserving of our love!
	10:20am testingwithfire: birding folks: I do very much love mergansers as well, used to see a lot of them in my New England days
	♥ 10:21am karlward: SHE SAID IT
	♥ 10:21am Trouble: i read a wee kid version of that book to my son when he was wee@brian, translating along the way. I wanted to believe it would help with learning other languages later on. His spanish is pretty spot on so maybe it did.
	♥ 10:22am βrian: Ah, but Blue-Winged Teal!
	♥ 10:22am Phillippe Bastille: βrian that's a great band name. We are constantly accidentally calling them biffleheads because there was a race driver named Greg Biffle who's name was thrown around the house on many a Sunday
	♥ 10:23am David (in London): The Quese need an opening act for our next tour. Are Buffleheads up for it..?
	♥ 10:23am Phillippe Bastille: @testingwithfire I don't believe I've ever seen a merganser. Maybe I did and did not know what I was seeing.
	♥ 10:24am βrian: My habib'ti and I use French to convey where certain coveted foodstuffs are stored. I figure that might motivate six-year old to understand.
	♥ 10:24am Handy Haversack: Kate invariably calls them "bobbleheads" first. Mergansers hang out on our creek all winter.
	♥ 10:25am karlward: What if there were a secret trove of completed David Bowie records, each a masterpiece, that he left behind with instructions to release only when things get truly dystopian?
	10:27am testingwithfire: @Philippe they are fairly common in northeastern Massachusetts, on lakes and ponds during the fall and winter months. I think you could find them in just about any NE US state that time of year.
	♥ 10:27am ParUbi: I have to tell you, my parakeets are super excited by the bird sounds during DJ breaks. They totally burst into tweets.
	10:27am testingwithfire: @ParUbi awwwwww
	10:28am sphere: This version of A Love Bizarre rules.
	♥ 10:28am Crudbringer: yeah clickystarred
	♥ 10:28am ParUbi: They also liked to piece with the flutes in it. I brought up an old recorder to play for them later.
	♥ 10:30am p20: Digging this Dump! The music is totally different but I hear a hint of Robert Pollard in the vocals... or maybe I'm just high
	10:31am kym: @peter Lynda Barry is spectacular! 'Cruddy' had been hovering on my to-read list for well over 12 years or so; finally read it last month and was thoroughly mesmerized. I picked up a copy of her 'What It Is' at the same time and am trying to be diligent about the intensive journaling method ... so useful!
	♥ 10:31am WoodsOfNH: Love that album title almost as much as Yo La Tengo's I Am Not Afraid Of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
	♥ 10:33am melinda: @WoodsOfNH one time my local public radio station played a song from that YLT album and called it simply "I Am Not Afraid Of You". I lost respect for them after that.
	♥ 10:34am βrian: I see Lynda Barry about town, every once in a while. Not so much lately.
	♥ 10:34am Handy Haversack: Mary Wing played a cover "Beautiful Ones" off the same album yesterday. Dug that Dump!
	♥ 10:34am p20: I never heard this Dump album before ... I like it... gonna time-travel back to 2001 and check it out
	10:35am kym: That whole Dump album is dreamy and fantastic! 'When You Were Mine' is stellar.
	10:36am sphere: Due to copyright issues, you probably won't find that Dump album in the usual places.
	10:36am Bill W: I remember seeing Dump (ie YLT with different duties) at Brownies in the EV when that record came out.
	♥ 10:36am Rich in Washington: Lovely show today, Trouble!
	♥ 10:37am Trouble: i saw it up on discogs recently
	10:37am still b/p: Man, that Love Bizarre is THICK with star-favoritings, deservedly. Just back from Trader Joe with all the enforced arrangements of entrance line outside and checkout distancing inside. Shelf stocks mostly normal though. Geting stormy here, and the wind...cries..."weird."
	♥ 10:38am Trouble: hola@bill w. did you retreat to nj? merci@richinwashington
	♥ 10:40am WoodsOfNH: @melinda Yeah, that's weak. I can see not droppin' an f-bomb but that?
	♥ 10:40am p20: Ah, it's a James McNew joint. And it never came out on vinyl. Somebody should reissue this!
	10:41am 79.5: my baby nieces are getting down to this!
	♥ 10:42am mariano: Hey trouble, everyone.
	♥ 10:43am p20: Yo mariano
	♥ 10:43am Handy Haversack: Hey, mariano!
	♥ 10:43am pantz: I thought I'd mention this because it seems like a pretty enlightened crowd; if you ever watched the PBS series I,Claudius from the 70's Elliott Kalan and John Hodgman have a podcast going over the show, episode by episode. It's brilliant! maximumfun.org...
	♥ 10:43am melinda: @Woods my local college/community station DJ on the other hand enthusiastically said the whole thing and told people they should buy the CD just for the title, even if they didn't like it.
	♥ 10:44am βrian: @pantz: I remember my mom being obsessed with that series.
	♥ 10:44am David (in London): Hey mariano
	♥ 10:44am Trouble: hola@79.5 and your talented baby nieces!
	♥ 10:45am Stanley: pantz: that sounds great but should we watch (if we can) the series again before listening?
	♥ 10:46am David (in London): @pantz, that's a long-standing favourite of mine, so thanks for the link. I bought my son the DVD for Christmas.
	♥ 10:46am WoodsOfNH: @melinda Yet another reason to love college & community radio.
	10:47am still b/p: melinda -- glad if MPG did that, but as a regular broadcasting outfit, they could get in trrrrouble upon any complaint.
	♥ 10:47am βrian: Ok, I'm letting the entire office listen to this one.
	10:47am testingwithfire: love this Prince track, had never heard it before
	♥ 10:48am WoodsOfNH: @still Is "ass" something that the FCC cares about?
	♥ 10:48am Crudbringer: I mean... strictly speaking... any butt could be considered a "leather seat"...
	♥ 10:48am βrian: The FCC is a total lech, so yes.
	♥ 10:49am Handy Haversack: Ken dropped ass bombs with no qualms last night. Figure he'd be careful if the FCC was gonna be assy about it?
	♥ 10:49am Crudbringer: new FMU t-shirt scripted by Handy: ASS BOMBS NO QUALMS
	10:49am still b/p: Rules of usage be weird. Prince nicely stepping back a few decades in studio style. Thiz great.
	10:49am sphere: Prince used "BCE" not "BC." How awsome!
	10:50am thedunkel: good Morning Trouble! good morning all!
	♥ 10:50am Handy Haversack: @Crud: Would pledge sufficiently to get one!
	♥ 10:52am Crudbringer: HOME OF THE QUALM-FREE ASS
	♥ 10:52am Lixiviated Life: Hi ya Trouble
	♥ 10:52am David (in London): Ass Bombs is my new garage band. Joe Belock will surely like us.
	♥ 10:52am Roberto: "Underachievers in avoiding the virus." Love it.
	♥ 10:54am melinda: @still b/p I assumed ass was not verboten. But now that you mention it I've heard other lapses on WMPG, like the Vaselines delightful "I hate the 80s 'cause the 80s were shit".
	♥ 10:54am Passaic River Blues: So lovely to hear Trouble today after being forced to miss TMW for several weeks!
	♥ 10:55am Trouble: forced to miss wfmu, that is truly tragic @ passaic river blues!
	♥ 10:55am Trouble: good to hear from you!@prb
	♥ 10:56am melinda: I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Bottom could be the prissy public radio alternative.
	♥ 10:57am puppyfarts: trouble!! i wish you were my senior year teacher <3
	♥ 10:57am βrian: "pummel your posterior?"
	♥ 10:57am p20: I think it's OK to say "Mofo" isn't it?
	♥ 10:59am geegee vindaloo: Thanks for mentioning Hyperallergetic. I teach animation at RISD and we've all been looking for ways to keep inspiration going. It's been very much make it up as we go.
	♥ 11:00am The Oscar: Mornin' all! The nonprofits closest to my heart that I'm most worried about are the Brattle and Coolidge Corner Theatres here in the Boston area-- both are amazing independent moviehouses which constantly program wonderful films. Anyone in the area (or otherwise!) can support them by buying gift cards or memberships, and the Coolidge has partnered with some indie distributors for digital rentals.
	♥ 11:01am WoodsOfNH: @melinda Would look spiffy on one of their tote bags
	♥ 11:01am melinda: @Woods haha!
	11:02am Lewis: good morning all - nice to have this huge community of creative and welcoming folks to come back to...
	♥ 11:03am geegee vindaloo: BTW, there is a toy theater festival online tonight which looks like a great thing for students. greatsmallworks.blogspot.com...
	♥ 11:03am melinda: @Oscar yeah, I've never been to the Brattle but I know it's been around forever. Used to sometimes check their calendar for screenings that might be worth a bus trip from Portland.
	11:04am P-90: I always recommend the I Claudius series to just about anyone who hasn’t seen it. I’ve known a few who raced to read the books as soon as they finished watching the series. One of the absolute best things the BBC has ever done, which is saying a lot.
	11:05am Bill W: Trouble, I have nobody left in NJ, they're all in CT, and no, I am still in Brooklyn because I chose the shitshow behind Door #2...
	♥ 11:05am karlward: Partners in Health is doing lifesaving work around the world, especially in the places most desperate for help. They have a great track record of focusing on the most impactful public health work. Partners in Health has been literally at the front lines of multiple pandemics and public health crises for years, getting bleach to clinics, getting medicines to nurses. They also have a 4 out of 4 star rating from Charity Navigator. pih.org "The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world." --Dr. Paul Farmer, co-founder of Partners in Health
	♥ 11:05am pantz: @Stanley Sorry, had to step away. Yes, def watch the series again before listening unless you have a stellar memory (I don't)
	11:06am still b/p: I was someone's guest at a Kristen Chenowith concert a few years ago. When she sang Tits and Ass from Chorus Line, she explained cheerfully and...wryly?...that these were verboten terms for a Baptist girl, so she substituted "boobs and butt" through the whole song. Makes for an interesting exercise, with no doubt all the couple thousand brains in the place re-substituting thet other words in every gosharooney instance.
	♥ 11:06am David (in London): P-20 - My friend Jim's dad did the props for I, Claudius (and 70s, Dr Who as well). Jim had an original cast of the head of Patrick Stewart as Sejanus on top of his TV set.
	♥ 11:07am pantz: @David that's amazing. They did so much with what appeared to be only two sets.
	♥ 11:07am βrian: Time for a new Public Works of Art Project.
	♥ 11:08am p20: @D(iL) you mean P-90. When I came up with p20 I didn't know P-90 was already here. They are completely different references but it's confusing. Maybe I should change my nickname again.
	♥ 11:08am Trouble: that looks great @geegeevindaloo! i will forward that to my art students, thanks!
	♥ 11:09am northguineahills: Barney Wilen, new to me!
	11:10am sphere: @ p20 - I think your nickname is fine, especially since it's linked to the pizza. :)
	♥ 11:10am melinda: @karlward thanks for the link. I read a good book about Paul Farmer by Tracy Kidder, I think it's called Mountains Beyond Mountains.
	♥ 11:11am David (in London): Yes, I did mean P90. Force of habit there p20.
	11:12am still b/p: Speaking of censorship, I first saw "I, Claudius" on Boston public TV. When I saw it again in Texas, they did some cutting and some strange clumsy edit techniques -- such as freeze-framing while audio continued -- to keep the sexual and violent moments from contaminating pure eyes.
	♥ 11:12am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	♥ 11:13am David (in London): @pantz - Yeah, Jim's dad made some truly amazing casts and physical objects, but I think he got frustrated with a budget of £2.47 per episode. Made it really hard to realise his ideas properly.
	♥ 11:13am Handy Haversack: Hey, Greg!
	♥ 11:17am mariano: still b/p: They did the same thing with Python's Flying Circus episodes on PBS in the States. I remember clearly seeing a Gilliam animation (during Crackpot Religions) showing Jesus and the two thieves crucified to telephone poles, but a few years later when they ran that episode, that part was cut out. Now you can find that missing footage online: www.youtube.com...
	11:17am peter in SEA: Nick Kristof's article today is staggering. Nurses and Dr.s aren't allowed to bring in their own masks if hosp. isn't providing adequate protection? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/opinion/coronavirus-doctors-protective-equipment.html
	11:18am Marc15: You can go back in time as long as you do not alter the Timeline
	♥ 11:19am pantz: @David Then I'll warn you ahead of time, if you listen to the podcast I mentioned they go pretty hard on Derek Jacobi's old man makeup.
	♥ 11:19am Handy Haversack: @DIL: Isn't £2.47 about US$4? I hear that you can do a lot with four American dollars!
	♥ 11:20am p20: @sphere: Thanks for the approval. I considered "polyhedral pizza", "pizzahedron", and even "icozahedron" but they are all kind of long to type. (And - you know, all polyhedra secretly long to be spheres!)
	11:20am Julien à Montréal: This Bowie cover is totalement merveilleuse!
	♥ 11:21am geegee vindaloo: I love the idea of doing little theater performances like this online, might try and build something myself :)
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: Keeping it Platonic, @p20! Solid!
	♥ 11:21am Threemoons: Love this French Bowie cover
	11:22am The Butterman: Geegeebindaloo, my most amazing High school student graduated in May from RISD animation. Emily L.
	♥ 11:22am mariano: Handy: £2.47 is closer to $3 right now; the rate is around $1.20. Never thought I'd see that; throughout my travels to the UK, beginning in 1984, it was always around $1.60. Last time I was there, Sept-Oct of last year, it was down to around $1.40.
	♥ 11:22am David (in London): p20 - Then just keep 'Polyhedral Pizza' as the title of your next album. Unless AphexTwin has beaten you to it?
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Je l'aime, mais j'ai peur. Ouch.
	♥ 11:22am Kevin-san: Génial!
	♥ 11:23am David (in London): @pantz - Thanks. I'll keep that to myself then (I think Jim's dad just did props, not make-up, so he should be safe anyway).
	♥ 11:24am Trouble: that is so fucked up @peterinsea. I'm making cloth masks from my family, even that is better than nothing.
	♥ 11:25am David (in London): That was bicentennial £ and $...
	♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: OK, the U.S. Girls joke did not land -- I am seeing that now!
	♥ 11:26am p20: @HH: It landed quietly
	♥ 11:27am David (in London): Handy, it was buried with full honours and a floral tribute.
	♥ 11:27am WoodsOfNH: @geegee Do you know if those performances will be archived (like on youtube or something)?
	♥ 11:28am mariano: Handy: it was silent... but deadly!
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: Currency humor is hard!
	11:29am still b/p: You coined a phrase there.
	♥ 11:29am p20: @D(iL): I'd love to put this image on a record cover! But I didn't create it and I don't have rights to it, it's just a thing I found while searching online.... for, of all things, a DODECAHEDRON pizza! - which I never found, as somebody pointed out the other day, it would probably be too floppy.
	11:30am sphere: @ p20 - but hey, RPGers love you to pieces! :)
	♥ 11:31am David (in London): Handy, you obviously have a real yen for it though. Sorry, I'll get my coat...
	♥ 11:31am Handy Haversack: @sphere: I can attest that this is 100 percent true. David, thanks for being franc.
	♥ 11:32am David (in London): p20 - It surely is a thing of beauty though.
	♥ 11:32am p20: @sphere: funny thing is, I've never played an RPG in my life. But I've been around D&D fiends and I know a little bit of the lingo.
	♥ 11:32am βrian: "RPG fait boum !"
	♥ 11:33am p20: @D(iL): Thanks, I agree. Maybe with all this extra time I have on my hands I should try to recreate this in my kitchen!
	11:36am sphere: @ p20 - generally, 20-sided dice are associated with D&D instead of other RPGs, so there you go.
	♥ 11:36am David (in London): p20 - I think it's the vampire squid that wraps itself inside out, and it kind of resembles your pizzahedron when it does. I'm going to check that online now.
	♥ 11:36am mariano: p20: Wouldn't be too floppy if it were thin and crispy enough. But then I'm no structural engineer of polyhedral pizzas.
	11:37am Listening Out There: Greetings, Worldly Moderners...
	11:39am Phoebe in Fanwood: Love Mac—and I would’ve sworn the last song was beach house!
	♥ 11:39am p20: @mariano: Triangles are intrinsically stronger than pentagons. It's like truss-work on a bridge - a triangle has no "give". (And also, you have more delicious crust with 20 sides!)
	11:40am Christy D: GREAT SHOW, TROUBLE! Thank you
	♥ 11:40am David (in London): p20 - It's going to be a challenge to keep those toppings in place, though. And check this dude out www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: thanks for the kind words@Christy D
	♥ 11:41am Hubig Pie: Gimme land Lotsa land.....
	♥ 11:41am p20: @D(iL): Minimal toppings. And thanks for the squid vid!
	11:41am Stencil: Killer show. Love that Allá track.
	11:41am Snoochienucci: love it trouble! also love that image today! so funny
	♥ 11:42am Greg from ZONE 5: Pre-clicked!
	11:44am Julien à Montréal: I love Stevie Jackson's voice..so sweet.
	♥ 11:45am Faye: did someone say belle & sebastian
	♥ 11:50am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today peeps! thanks for all the kind words and for your book suggestions. stay well!!!!!
	♥ 11:50am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: u2
	11:50am Stefan: Thanks a lot, I appreciate it beyond worda that you stay on air/on the www
	♥ 11:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Trouble & Matt the Garbage Skeleton!
	♥ 11:52am listener 126464: Thank you Trouble.
	11:53am Julien à Montréal: Merci Trouble!
	11:53am Marc15: @ Trouble, Thank You Very Much for a Great Show
	11:53am ?: Love your show, and I will never tire of Alice Coltrane!

	11:53am thedunkel: Thank you Trouble and WFMU/SC
	♥ 11:53am Handy Haversack: Trouble! Great show. Thanks so much! And thanks for OPPING that BOARD, Matt! Be cool, everyone!
	♥ 11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Good to know that you give a hoot.
	11:55am still b/p: Thank you for putting the better stuff into my day and senses.
	♥ 11:55am Andrew_in_WI: What label is this Alice Coltrane on?
	11:55am morphe': Thanks Trouble!!! Wherever you may be!!!
	11:56am Bill W: thx Trouble
	♥ 11:56am p20: @Andrew_in_WI: impulse!
	11:56am Shea: This was a stellar show. Loved it.
	♥ 11:56am David (in London): Thanks Trouble.
	11:57am 3d-nyc: Thank you, inspiring and refreshing show in these low key days.
	♥ 11:57am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	♥ 11:57am Dave in Vermont: thank you
	♥ 11:57am pantz: Great show, Trouble. Thanks for the much needed distraction.
	11:58am Patty D: Digging this song!
	♥ 11:59am Priscilla: Thank you Trouble! Take care & stay safe
	♥ 11:59am p20: @Andrew_in_WI: She made a bunch of records for impulse! then moved over to Warner Bros. All of the "classic" ones (IMO) are on impulse! But they are all worth checking out of course.
	♥ 11:59am WoodsOfNH: Great show Trouble. Thanks.
	♥ 11:59am thriftstoreleather: Thank U Trouble!
	11:59am egould310: Great show. Thanks, Trouble!

View Trouble's profile

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.

	♥ 9:04am Webhamster Henry: Hi to the Troubled "Modern" world.
	♥ 9:04am p20: Hi Trouble and Listeners! I'm not trying to make this a topic this week, but just wanted to mention - I collated the book list from last week's chat. It's in a Google spreadsheet you can access if you click on my polyhedral pizza icon. And you can add more there if you want.
	♥ 9:04am Handy Haversack: And more thanks and praise for doing so, @p20! That was really stand-up of you!
	9:04am testingwithfire: @p20 what a great idea! thank you!
	9:05am Julien à Montréal: Bonjour/Hi Trouble and fellow social distancers

	♥ 9:06am pantz: Thanks for showing up, Trouble but I'm not digging this modern world we're in now.
	♥ 9:06am waters7: thank you. I want to go home now.
	♥ 9:06am Trouble: great idea @ p20!
	♥ 9:07am Peter from Dover NJ: Good morning everyone. I might add a lockdown reading list of men own.
	♥ 9:07am EG_Astro: Good morning Trouble and accu friends
	♥ 9:08am David (in London): Hey p20. That book chat feels simultaneously both like ten minutes and twenty years ago. Thanks again for doing it. And your polyhedral pizza reminds me of a vampire squid, too.
	♥ 9:08am David (in London): Hey gang, Handy, Phillippe, P20 (again), sphere et al.
	♥ 9:09am p20: The list started with people mentioning their all-time favorites, but shifted toward dystopian sci-fi ("The Stand", etc). I find that right now, I have very little taste for dystopia... I've been reading Chateaubriand and Proust for pure escape.
	♥ 9:09am Stanley: Hi Trouble, David and everyone. I'm finally settling down to do some 'work'
	♥ 9:10am Handy Haversack: Hey, David. Et al.! Et al.! I am reading _Felix Arabia_ now: story of a 1760s Danish scientific expedition to Arabia.

	9:11am wompat: Good morning everyone
	9:11am sugarwolf: Hello!!
	♥ 9:11am steveo: Good morning! I can't believe it's Thursday already and yet last Thursday seems very long ago. A paradox of these times.

	♥ 9:15am Trouble: good morning Irene, merci!
	♥ 9:16am pantz: I'm reading Wizard of Earthsea and I love it. Thanks to whomever suggested it.
	9:17am wizard frog: Where is the best place to read in the house? I found reading on the commute so easy but not so much at home. Bed just doesn't cut it. Feel so restless to do other things at home.
	♥ 9:17am ParUbi: I'm reading Kafka's diaries. Springtime fun
	9:18am Sketch: Big tune
	9:18am Sketch: Big up Leroy Sibbles

	9:20am Sketch: Lead singer of this group had a successful country career in Toronto after he left JA
	9:20am sphere: this Heptones song is totally divine.
	♥ 9:20am pantz: I've tried to read 1Q84 three times and get distracted halfway through. Probably gonna try to tackle that one next and then some Thomas Merton.
	♥ 9:20am p20: @WizardFrog: "He who reads in bed, also sleeps in the library". If you can, try to set up a dedicated reading nook... a comfortable-but-not-too-laid-back chair and good lighting.
	♥ 9:21am LCBD: This is a treat. Just getting used to having radio access all day - a silver lining for sure. Thanks Trouble!
	9:21am wizard frog: Thanks p20!
	♥ 9:22am Handy Haversack: @ParUbi: Very cool. I assume the Muirs are not still the translators? Good stuff?
	♥ 9:22am Phillippe Bastille: Hey Handy, hey sphere. All good, my friends?
	♥ 9:23am Roberto: This girl (who happens to be called Eddy) is growing on me.

	9:24am sphere: hey Phillippe hey David :)
	♥ 9:25am steveo: the owls love Bowie
	♥ 9:25am Threemoons: BOWIE IN THE AM always good!
	♥ 9:26am melinda: @p20 I can't imagine choosing to read or watch dystopian fiction right now.
	♥ 9:26am ParUbi: The first half was translated by Joseph Kresh. The material from 1914 on was translated by Martin Greenberg under the guidance of Hannah Arendt. I don't have the German open next to it, but really haven't felt the need to. It's moves back and forth between the nightmarish and quotidian. The dreams are really interesting, and I just passed the point were he met Rudolf Steiner
	9:27am peter in SEA: Bon Jour Trouble and all. OWLS! Will there be an Athena theme today?
	♥ 9:27am Handy Haversack: @ParUbi: Thanks! Very cool. If the libraries ever reopen ... etc.

	♥ 9:34am Joe non Papa: Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward
	♥ 9:34am pantz: P G Wodehouse! Any Jeeves or Blandings Castle stories. Delightful whimsy, and if you're into audiobooks Stephen Fry does most of the readings.

	♥ 9:35am Tome: good Morning DJ Trouble glad you're all here <>
	♥ 9:35am Jeff formerly from Rahway: My teenage son bought me "The Great Influenza" by John M. Barry back in February. It's about the 1918-19 flu pandemic. It's giving me insight on how viruses attack and spread and how the human body - and humanity - respond. History is repeating itself. I'm about half-way through.
	♥ 9:35am p20: Book list here: you can add to it! docs.google.com...
	♥ 9:35am LCBD: Deacon King Kong by James McBride is great! I’m just 1/3 in but love it.

	9:36am Barbie: Vernon Subutex - Virginie Despentes
	9:36am kleoville: I need more cheerful things to read, but currently reading Romance in Marseilles by Claude McKay and recently finished The Emissary by Yoko Tawada. That one is kind of topical and beautifully strange.
	9:36am sphere: The Worm Ouroboros by E.R. Eddison. Pre-Tolkien fantasy with weird and gorgeous prose.
	♥ 9:36am pantz: @Joe non Papa Of course! Heck, just read it all.

	♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH: @kleoville Agreed. I can't read anything heavy right about now.
	9:39am Quinn: My kid is going through all the ebooks our library offers. We got my mom to give us her library card number too so we could access her library’s ebook catalog — PRO TIP!
	♥ 9:39am Handy Haversack: Gonna do two. New, freshly read. Still have that new book smell: Famous Men Who Never Lived, by K. Chess. Warning: ugh, those feels again. But beautiful. Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir. Lesbian necromancers in spaaaaaaaaaaace! Because it's still OK to have some damn fun! Good call on Eddison, @sphere! And on Wodehouse! We just ordered $100 in books from our local independent bookstore, and my work is going to reimburse me for them, which is just a really great thing for them to do!

	♥ 9:40am Trouble: very cool @ tome!
	♥ 9:40am melinda: @p20 I think some people do like dystopia right now, stiffer constitution I guess.
	♥ 9:40am Joe non Papa: Terry Pratchett's humorous Discworld fantasies.
	9:41am P-90: @Trouble: Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry also did some very nice Jeeves and Wooster series for the BBC, well worth checking out if you haven’t already.
	♥ 9:41am Handy Haversack: @Tome: Nice! Where were they spotted? We were down by the creek yesterday, but no herons. Merganser, cormorant, herring gulls, Canada geese. I miss the black-crowned night herons of Newtown Creek!
	9:41am ?: Link to NYS library eCard for access to eAudio & eBooks :) https://disc.bklynlibrary.org/ecard/Default.aspx
	♥ 9:41am yawnathon: "Oranges" by John McPhee is fascinating and a pretty short read (nonfiction)
	9:42am sphere: Also to even things up, Greer Gilman's Moonwise is post-Joycean fantasy and is totally awesome (tho hard to find). This is for you Handy.
	♥ 9:42am p20: @peter in SEA: Thanks for reminding me about that Markson. It's been on my shelf for years now and I've stopped seeing it. Time to take it down and actually read it...
	♥ 9:42am Peter from Dover NJ: A book that quite resonated me: "The Hidden", by Tobias Hill.

Hey could a coding sys be attached to each broadcast or somewhere for a “now playing” show moving ahead? just wondering as, wait... when am i listening?? keeps occurring to me and waiting or catching a voice break is random... -thx
	♥ 9:43am Priscilla: Haven't read it, but "Wow, No Thank You" sounds good nyti.ms...
	♥ 9:43am David (in London): Since we're getting back to it, I'll chuck in The Manuscript Found in Saragossa by Jan Potocki.
	♥ 9:44am Joe non Papa: There was an earlier BBC Wodehouse series called Wodehouse Playhouse. It was presented by P.G. himself. The main actors came out of the original version of Upstairs Downstairs from the early 1970s.
	♥ 9:44am Andrew Waterloo: Book Rec: Stranger than You can Imagine by John Higg. He writes about the 20th century with the view that it was driven by changes in human perspective. He also wrote a great book about the KLF.
	♥ 9:44am WoodsOfNH: I just added Patti Smith's Year Of The Monkey. So good I read it three times.
	♥ 9:45am Trouble: this is not an archived show!
	9:45am peter in SEA: Milkman, Anna Burns ;-) Can't wait to read her new one, Little Constructions.
	♥ 9:46am Handy Haversack: A sign of spring coming, @Tome. That's really great. Makes me very happy. Ugh, now I am having those feels again!

	♥ 9:49am Handy Haversack: I'm in Brooklyn, too, Tome. The creek we were by yesterday: Newtown Creek! Because you can't spell "Superfund" without "superfun"! I lead bird-watching canoe trips on it in the summer ...
	9:50am peter in SEA: Thanks, @p20 for that spreadsheet!
	♥ 9:50am ParUbi: I'm going to put Can Xue's _Frontier_ out there. It's a very strange book, dreamlike and disorienting. It can be frustrating if you're into linear narrative, but it opened my eyes to the range and vibrancy of contemporary Chinese literature. Definitely a trip.
	♥ 9:50am WoodsOfNH: Also just added Brautigan's Trout Fishing In America. Somehow, I missed this back in the day. Strangest and funniest thing I've read in quite some time.
	9:51am mb: Trouble is on? Must be Thursday Hello WFMU and constituents. Thanks for putting up a new show, DJ
	9:51am peter in SEA: Early stuff by HA Jin! Waiting and War Trash are exceptional; the later stuff not as interesting....to me.
	♥ 9:52am pantz: @ParUbi Have you read Cixin's The Three-Body Problem? I think you might like it.
	♥ 9:52am Tome: ahh right ,, i'm @ the other End SheepBay ,, might even get over to marsh by belt pky ,, to see that i can see if I can ever get away from online workers/ friends ,,, * first things first * that's grat Handy
	♥ 9:52am David (in London): @WoodsofNH - Yeah man, good choice. I picked up a copy of 'Revenge of the Lawn' donkey's years ago in a second hand bookshop and was blown away.
	♥ 9:52am Handy Haversack: @ParUbu: Check out the anthology The Reincarnated Giant, too. Contemporary Chinese SF.
	9:53am Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn: Good morning Trouble, 'morning everyone.
	9:53am Chud: I just re-read Ted Chiang's collection of short stories. Gets me every time
	♥ 9:54am WoodsOfNH: @David (in London). Yeah. As I read it I had that "How did I not know about this?!!" sort of feeling. Same thing happened to us recently when we discovered narrow boats (and have taken the narrow boat deep dive on youtube)
	♥ 9:54am Roberto: Christine is the Perfect balm for these times.
	♥ 9:54am common: never heard this version. thank you, trouble. christine.
	♥ 9:54am Handy Haversack: (*^i) @Tome: Saw great blue herons, egrets, swans, red-wing blackbirds last summer paddling up Coney Island Creek!
	♥ 9:54am melinda: Hearing the opening piano tinkles of Hold Me made me very happy. Memories!
	9:54am TicklePolyester: This version is shocking me to my core.
	♥ 9:54am Mailman Tom: I love the sound of Christine's voice
	♥ 9:55am ParUbi: @pantz-- I did! I read the first two in that series. Very exciting and innovative series. I have to get the third book!
	♥ 9:55am βrian: We have a nearby connecting sidewalk bordered on both sides by dense bushes. We often see Cooper's hawks swooping through there at about 4 ft of height, looking to flush out the sparrows who shelter there. It's pretty dramatic if you happen to be walking there.
	9:55am sphere: @ Chud - Who knew that Hollywood would turn The Story Of Your Life into a movie?!? Weird but it worked.
	♥ 9:55am David (in London): @Woods, My brother and his wife live up in Northamptonshire here in the UK, by the canal, with their narrow boat moored at the end of the garden. It's a pretty idylic arrangement.
	♥ 9:56am p20: @WoodsOfNH: +1 on the Brautigan. I was recently listening to "Trout Steel" by Mike Cooper which is partly inspired by "Trout Fishing in America". If you've never heard this album, check it out!
	9:56am 79.5: yeah!! Thanks Trouble! lots of love from Kate! hope you're hangin in there xo
	♥ 9:56am Andrew Waterloo: I was recommending WFMU to a workmate because the live radio aspect helps ground me in a schedule. Or in simple terms, helps me no Thursday morning is Thursday morning
	♥ 9:56am Tome: ,,, agrees with the Mailman wholehearedly ,,, like Stevie but Christine's songs are just so uplifting some of them happy and bursting with love !<>!
	♥ 9:57am Handy Haversack: 79.5! Our local Kate shouted "79.5!" with the first notes! Sounded great!
	9:57am 79.5: Christine is my fav
	♥ 9:57am Priscilla: @Handy: We had 4 redwing blackbirds at the backyard feeder this morning. Amazingly beautiful!
	♥ 9:57am Trouble: giant thank you to matt warwick holding down the studio reigns at WFMU HQ while i dj from home.
	9:57am prudy: I read mostly nonfiction which right now feels difficult...but anyways...Heaven's Coast by Mark Doty...beautiful elegy to his lover lost to AIDS...writing is sublime...
	9:57am Chud: @sphere, yeah, I thought it was pretty good! But not quite as exceptional as the original
	♥ 9:57am WoodsOfNH: @David (in London) Nice!
	♥ 9:58am Tome: @handy I need to get myself in floating in a kyak been long time indeed !<>! that's great
	9:58am Gregory: I read a lot of mysteries and thrillers. A few that may transport you for a while: 1. Six Four by Hideo Yokoyama an oddly engaging Japanese bureaucratic thriller. 2. Restless by William Boyd a lyrical Brishish espionage story
	9:58am Chud: @sphere when you can give away the twist in the beginning and still make it powerful at the end... just damn!
	♥ 9:58am βrian: Do I hear a ruby-throated bottle blower?
	9:59am sphere: @Chud - totally!
	♥ 9:59am EG_Astro: bail rollbacks are in the budget. what a nightmare.
	♥ 9:59am Priscilla: We jumped on the Tiger King bandwagon. It's like watching a car wreck.
	♥ 9:59am pantz: @Brian very rude. That's Trouble you hear ;)
	10:00am sphere: Thanks, Mr. Warwick!
	♥ 10:00am βrian: No, silly, the track behind Trouble. A really interesting sound.
	♥ 10:00am fred: @trouble: Thomas Bonvalet's solo project is "L'ocelle mare", his live sets are fantastic
	♥ 10:01am WoodsOfNH: @p20 Thanks. I'll have to look for that.
	♥ 10:01am Trouble: merci@ fred, will look that up!
	10:03am Gregory: Oh for all the Francophiles here I shoudl add, ALEX by Pierre Lemaitre.
	♥ 10:04am Handy Haversack: Matt, this board is OPPED! Thanks!
	10:04am Deborah: I am finishing Little Fires Everywhere and yes, watching the miniseries. The book is a good read. My favorite books include AVA, The Waves, When Breath Becomes Air. Not exactly escapist, though.
	♥ 10:05am David (in London): Ah, Dorothy Ashby. She'll help soothe our troubled brows.
	♥ 10:05am βrian: I almost expect to hear Ken Nordine here.
	10:05am peter in SEA: For all you art teacher types ;-) : Lynda Barry's new one: Making Comics is fantastique! As was her earlier Syllabus, and of course all of the Freddy and Maybonne comics and Ernie Pook's Comeek :-)
	♥ 10:06am David (in London): βrian - You are lucky that you are not sitting next to me, or I would treat to you a (really terrible) Ken Nordine impression immediately. "Crimson, now he's a jazzy kind of guy...."
	♥ 10:08am JtotheK: Nice Dorothy Ashby track ... I have some 'best of' comp of her Prestige material (issued by Prestige, which opens with this track) - haven't listened to that in a while. Hiya Trouble, hi everyone.
	10:08am wizard frog: Crimson, a colour red-dy to bleed saccharine tones through to your bones... (yikes)
	♥ 10:09am Doug Schulkind: Dorothy Ashby had a radio show on WJR in Detroit.
	♥ 10:09am βrian: @DIL: Does he follow you around, too, commenting on passersby? Why, sometimes I just can't shake the guy!
	♥ 10:09am Marley P. Dogg: This Dorothy Ashby song is just what I needed right now
	♥ 10:10am Trouble: wow! i did not know that @doug. that must have been amazing!
	♥ 10:12am David (in London): βrian - Yes indeed. Added to which, my iPod (other MP3 players are available) seems to absolutely LOVE him when it's on shuffle. He's always popping up at unexpected moments.
	10:12am LCBD: @Handy, I’d love to have go bird watching with you this summer. Let’s talk about that if/when possible...
	10:13am testingwithfire: II'm busy translating something from French into (UK) English, so Trouble's show is the perfect soundtrack!
	10:14am Micheal: Thank you for Thursday, Trouble (and Matt)!
	♥ 10:14am Handy Haversack: @LCBD: It's a deal!
	♥ 10:15am Ken From Hyde Park: @LCBD, @Handy - I understand DJ Mayuko is also a bird enthusiast.
	10:15am testingwithfire: WFMU is very much helping me keep my days of the week straight. Clocks go back in most of Chile on Sunday, so there'll be some extra confusion for me for a while!
	♥ 10:15am Marley P. Dogg: I love the dub vibe of this song
	♥ 10:16am listener monica: that unique sound of massive attack (whose name i can never remember.)
	10:16am Itzall Gön'gett-Bettresuhnn: (Very) late to the game here, that was the FIRST song I've ever heard by Massive Attack- always tempted to buy their records but really had no idea what they sounded like. Good stuff.
	♥ 10:17am βrian: "Dessine-moi un mouton."
	10:17am ToTetsu: Oh Kraftwerk. we are the robots blepboopbeebboob
	♥ 10:17am Phillippe Bastille: @Handy @tome ~@9:40 we have a nice mix of winter and spring birds here now. a half dozen herons, a pair of osprey, a cormorant, mallards, a kingfisher, and a few buffleheads that returned for a bite yesterday. One of the osprey had a fish so big he had trouble getting airborne. One of the pair dropped a 14 inch shad in my neighbor's yard yesterday
	♥ 10:18am Asheville Jon: my thoughts exactly ToTetsu. i thought this was gonna be a Robots cover.
	10:19am testingwithfire: believe it or not there are snipes here (the South American snipe). So my very first snipe "hunt" (via spotting scope and binoculars) was a success!
	♥ 10:19am Phillippe Bastille: ah, and an egret
	♥ 10:19am βrian: Buffleheads! Love them. They ought to form a band, too.
	♥ 10:20am karlward: I feel like this whole song is a build up to Nancy saying "Get Innocuous."
	♥ 10:20am Handy Haversack: Amazing, @Phillippe. @Ken fHP: Cool! I don't know Mayuko's show. Will have to investigate. Buffleheads are America's cutest duck and therefore most deserving of our love!
	10:20am testingwithfire: birding folks: I do very much love mergansers as well, used to see a lot of them in my New England days
	♥ 10:21am karlward: SHE SAID IT
	♥ 10:21am Trouble: i read a wee kid version of that book to my son when he was wee@brian, translating along the way. I wanted to believe it would help with learning other languages later on. His spanish is pretty spot on so maybe it did.
	♥ 10:22am βrian: Ah, but Blue-Winged Teal!
	♥ 10:22am Phillippe Bastille: βrian that's a great band name. We are constantly accidentally calling them biffleheads because there was a race driver named Greg Biffle who's name was thrown around the house on many a Sunday
	♥ 10:23am David (in London): The Quese need an opening act for our next tour. Are Buffleheads up for it..?
	♥ 10:23am Phillippe Bastille: @testingwithfire I don't believe I've ever seen a merganser. Maybe I did and did not know what I was seeing.
	♥ 10:24am βrian: My habib'ti and I use French to convey where certain coveted foodstuffs are stored. I figure that might motivate six-year old to understand.
	♥ 10:24am Handy Haversack: Kate invariably calls them "bobbleheads" first. Mergansers hang out on our creek all winter.
	♥ 10:25am karlward: What if there were a secret trove of completed David Bowie records, each a masterpiece, that he left behind with instructions to release only when things get truly dystopian?
	10:27am testingwithfire: @Philippe they are fairly common in northeastern Massachusetts, on lakes and ponds during the fall and winter months. I think you could find them in just about any NE US state that time of year.
	♥ 10:27am ParUbi: I have to tell you, my parakeets are super excited by the bird sounds during DJ breaks. They totally burst into tweets.
	10:27am testingwithfire: @ParUbi awwwwww
	10:28am sphere: This version of A Love Bizarre rules.
	♥ 10:28am Crudbringer: yeah clickystarred
	♥ 10:28am ParUbi: They also liked to piece with the flutes in it. I brought up an old recorder to play for them later.
	♥ 10:30am p20: Digging this Dump! The music is totally different but I hear a hint of Robert Pollard in the vocals... or maybe I'm just high
	10:31am kym: @peter Lynda Barry is spectacular! 'Cruddy' had been hovering on my to-read list for well over 12 years or so; finally read it last month and was thoroughly mesmerized. I picked up a copy of her 'What It Is' at the same time and am trying to be diligent about the intensive journaling method ... so useful!
	♥ 10:31am WoodsOfNH: Love that album title almost as much as Yo La Tengo's I Am Not Afraid Of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
	♥ 10:33am melinda: @WoodsOfNH one time my local public radio station played a song from that YLT album and called it simply "I Am Not Afraid Of You". I lost respect for them after that.
	♥ 10:34am βrian: I see Lynda Barry about town, every once in a while. Not so much lately.
	♥ 10:34am Handy Haversack: Mary Wing played a cover "Beautiful Ones" off the same album yesterday. Dug that Dump!
	♥ 10:34am p20: I never heard this Dump album before ... I like it... gonna time-travel back to 2001 and check it out
	10:35am kym: That whole Dump album is dreamy and fantastic! 'When You Were Mine' is stellar.
	10:36am sphere: Due to copyright issues, you probably won't find that Dump album in the usual places.
	10:36am Bill W: I remember seeing Dump (ie YLT with different duties) at Brownies in the EV when that record came out.
	♥ 10:36am Rich in Washington: Lovely show today, Trouble!
	♥ 10:37am Trouble: i saw it up on discogs recently
	10:37am still b/p: Man, that Love Bizarre is THICK with star-favoritings, deservedly. Just back from Trader Joe with all the enforced arrangements of entrance line outside and checkout distancing inside. Shelf stocks mostly normal though. Geting stormy here, and the wind...cries..."weird."
	♥ 10:38am Trouble: hola@bill w. did you retreat to nj? merci@richinwashington
	♥ 10:40am WoodsOfNH: @melinda Yeah, that's weak. I can see not droppin' an f-bomb but that?
	♥ 10:40am p20: Ah, it's a James McNew joint. And it never came out on vinyl. Somebody should reissue this!
	10:41am 79.5: my baby nieces are getting down to this!
	♥ 10:42am mariano: Hey trouble, everyone.
	♥ 10:43am p20: Yo mariano
	♥ 10:43am Handy Haversack: Hey, mariano!
	♥ 10:43am pantz: I thought I'd mention this because it seems like a pretty enlightened crowd; if you ever watched the PBS series I,Claudius from the 70's Elliott Kalan and John Hodgman have a podcast going over the show, episode by episode. It's brilliant! maximumfun.org...
	♥ 10:43am melinda: @Woods my local college/community station DJ on the other hand enthusiastically said the whole thing and told people they should buy the CD just for the title, even if they didn't like it.
	♥ 10:44am βrian: @pantz: I remember my mom being obsessed with that series.
	♥ 10:44am David (in London): Hey mariano
	♥ 10:44am Trouble: hola@79.5 and your talented baby nieces!
	♥ 10:45am Stanley: pantz: that sounds great but should we watch (if we can) the series again before listening?
	♥ 10:46am David (in London): @pantz, that's a long-standing favourite of mine, so thanks for the link. I bought my son the DVD for Christmas.
	♥ 10:46am WoodsOfNH: @melinda Yet another reason to love college & community radio.
	10:47am still b/p: melinda -- glad if MPG did that, but as a regular broadcasting outfit, they could get in trrrrouble upon any complaint.
	♥ 10:47am βrian: Ok, I'm letting the entire office listen to this one.
	10:47am testingwithfire: love this Prince track, had never heard it before
	♥ 10:48am WoodsOfNH: @still Is "ass" something that the FCC cares about?
	♥ 10:48am Crudbringer: I mean... strictly speaking... any butt could be considered a "leather seat"...
	♥ 10:48am βrian: The FCC is a total lech, so yes.
	♥ 10:49am Handy Haversack: Ken dropped ass bombs with no qualms last night. Figure he'd be careful if the FCC was gonna be assy about it?
	♥ 10:49am Crudbringer: new FMU t-shirt scripted by Handy: ASS BOMBS NO QUALMS
	10:49am still b/p: Rules of usage be weird. Prince nicely stepping back a few decades in studio style. Thiz great.
	10:49am sphere: Prince used "BCE" not "BC." How awsome!
	10:50am thedunkel: good Morning Trouble! good morning all!
	♥ 10:50am Handy Haversack: @Crud: Would pledge sufficiently to get one!
	♥ 10:52am Crudbringer: HOME OF THE QUALM-FREE ASS
	♥ 10:52am Lixiviated Life: Hi ya Trouble
	♥ 10:52am David (in London): Ass Bombs is my new garage band. Joe Belock will surely like us.
	♥ 10:52am Roberto: "Underachievers in avoiding the virus." Love it.
	♥ 10:54am melinda: @still b/p I assumed ass was not verboten. But now that you mention it I've heard other lapses on WMPG, like the Vaselines delightful "I hate the 80s 'cause the 80s were shit".
	♥ 10:54am Passaic River Blues: So lovely to hear Trouble today after being forced to miss TMW for several weeks!
	♥ 10:55am Trouble: forced to miss wfmu, that is truly tragic @ passaic river blues!
	♥ 10:55am Trouble: good to hear from you!@prb
	♥ 10:56am melinda: I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Bottom could be the prissy public radio alternative.
	♥ 10:57am puppyfarts: trouble!! i wish you were my senior year teacher <3
	♥ 10:57am βrian: "pummel your posterior?"
	♥ 10:57am p20: I think it's OK to say "Mofo" isn't it?
	♥ 10:59am geegee vindaloo: Thanks for mentioning Hyperallergetic. I teach animation at RISD and we've all been looking for ways to keep inspiration going. It's been very much make it up as we go.
	♥ 11:00am The Oscar: Mornin' all! The nonprofits closest to my heart that I'm most worried about are the Brattle and Coolidge Corner Theatres here in the Boston area-- both are amazing independent moviehouses which constantly program wonderful films. Anyone in the area (or otherwise!) can support them by buying gift cards or memberships, and the Coolidge has partnered with some indie distributors for digital rentals.
	♥ 11:01am WoodsOfNH: @melinda Would look spiffy on one of their tote bags
	♥ 11:01am melinda: @Woods haha!
	11:02am Lewis: good morning all - nice to have this huge community of creative and welcoming folks to come back to...
	♥ 11:03am geegee vindaloo: BTW, there is a toy theater festival online tonight which looks like a great thing for students. greatsmallworks.blogspot.com...
	♥ 11:03am melinda: @Oscar yeah, I've never been to the Brattle but I know it's been around forever. Used to sometimes check their calendar for screenings that might be worth a bus trip from Portland.
	11:04am P-90: I always recommend the I Claudius series to just about anyone who hasn’t seen it. I’ve known a few who raced to read the books as soon as they finished watching the series. One of the absolute best things the BBC has ever done, which is saying a lot.
	11:05am Bill W: Trouble, I have nobody left in NJ, they're all in CT, and no, I am still in Brooklyn because I chose the shitshow behind Door #2...
	♥ 11:05am karlward: Partners in Health is doing lifesaving work around the world, especially in the places most desperate for help. They have a great track record of focusing on the most impactful public health work. Partners in Health has been literally at the front lines of multiple pandemics and public health crises for years, getting bleach to clinics, getting medicines to nurses. They also have a 4 out of 4 star rating from Charity Navigator. pih.org "The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world." --Dr. Paul Farmer, co-founder of Partners in Health
	♥ 11:05am pantz: @Stanley Sorry, had to step away. Yes, def watch the series again before listening unless you have a stellar memory (I don't)
	11:06am still b/p: I was someone's guest at a Kristen Chenowith concert a few years ago. When she sang Tits and Ass from Chorus Line, she explained cheerfully and...wryly?...that these were verboten terms for a Baptist girl, so she substituted "boobs and butt" through the whole song. Makes for an interesting exercise, with no doubt all the couple thousand brains in the place re-substituting thet other words in every gosharooney instance.
	♥ 11:06am David (in London): P-20 - My friend Jim's dad did the props for I, Claudius (and 70s, Dr Who as well). Jim had an original cast of the head of Patrick Stewart as Sejanus on top of his TV set.
	♥ 11:07am pantz: @David that's amazing. They did so much with what appeared to be only two sets.
	♥ 11:07am βrian: Time for a new Public Works of Art Project.
	♥ 11:08am p20: @D(iL) you mean P-90. When I came up with p20 I didn't know P-90 was already here. They are completely different references but it's confusing. Maybe I should change my nickname again.
	♥ 11:08am Trouble: that looks great @geegeevindaloo! i will forward that to my art students, thanks!
	♥ 11:09am northguineahills: Barney Wilen, new to me!
	11:10am sphere: @ p20 - I think your nickname is fine, especially since it's linked to the pizza. :)
	♥ 11:10am melinda: @karlward thanks for the link. I read a good book about Paul Farmer by Tracy Kidder, I think it's called Mountains Beyond Mountains.
	♥ 11:11am David (in London): Yes, I did mean P90. Force of habit there p20.
	11:12am still b/p: Speaking of censorship, I first saw "I, Claudius" on Boston public TV. When I saw it again in Texas, they did some cutting and some strange clumsy edit techniques -- such as freeze-framing while audio continued -- to keep the sexual and violent moments from contaminating pure eyes.
	♥ 11:12am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	♥ 11:13am David (in London): @pantz - Yeah, Jim's dad made some truly amazing casts and physical objects, but I think he got frustrated with a budget of £2.47 per episode. Made it really hard to realise his ideas properly.
	♥ 11:13am Handy Haversack: Hey, Greg!
	♥ 11:17am mariano: still b/p: They did the same thing with Python's Flying Circus episodes on PBS in the States. I remember clearly seeing a Gilliam animation (during Crackpot Religions) showing Jesus and the two thieves crucified to telephone poles, but a few years later when they ran that episode, that part was cut out. Now you can find that missing footage online: www.youtube.com...
	11:17am peter in SEA: Nick Kristof's article today is staggering. Nurses and Dr.s aren't allowed to bring in their own masks if hosp. isn't providing adequate protection? https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/01/opinion/coronavirus-doctors-protective-equipment.html
	11:18am Marc15: You can go back in time as long as you do not alter the Timeline
	♥ 11:19am pantz: @David Then I'll warn you ahead of time, if you listen to the podcast I mentioned they go pretty hard on Derek Jacobi's old man makeup.
	♥ 11:19am Handy Haversack: @DIL: Isn't £2.47 about US$4? I hear that you can do a lot with four American dollars!
	♥ 11:20am p20: @sphere: Thanks for the approval. I considered "polyhedral pizza", "pizzahedron", and even "icozahedron" but they are all kind of long to type. (And - you know, all polyhedra secretly long to be spheres!)
	11:20am Julien à Montréal: This Bowie cover is totalement merveilleuse!
	♥ 11:21am geegee vindaloo: I love the idea of doing little theater performances like this online, might try and build something myself :)
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: Keeping it Platonic, @p20! Solid!
	♥ 11:21am Threemoons: Love this French Bowie cover
	11:22am The Butterman: Geegeebindaloo, my most amazing High school student graduated in May from RISD animation. Emily L.
	♥ 11:22am mariano: Handy: £2.47 is closer to $3 right now; the rate is around $1.20. Never thought I'd see that; throughout my travels to the UK, beginning in 1984, it was always around $1.60. Last time I was there, Sept-Oct of last year, it was down to around $1.40.
	♥ 11:22am David (in London): p20 - Then just keep 'Polyhedral Pizza' as the title of your next album. Unless AphexTwin has beaten you to it?
	♥ 11:22am Handy Haversack: Je l'aime, mais j'ai peur. Ouch.
	♥ 11:22am Kevin-san: Génial!
	♥ 11:23am David (in London): @pantz - Thanks. I'll keep that to myself then (I think Jim's dad just did props, not make-up, so he should be safe anyway).
	♥ 11:24am Trouble: that is so fucked up @peterinsea. I'm making cloth masks from my family, even that is better than nothing.
	♥ 11:25am David (in London): That was bicentennial £ and $...
	♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: OK, the U.S. Girls joke did not land -- I am seeing that now!
	♥ 11:26am p20: @HH: It landed quietly
	♥ 11:27am David (in London): Handy, it was buried with full honours and a floral tribute.
	♥ 11:27am WoodsOfNH: @geegee Do you know if those performances will be archived (like on youtube or something)?
	♥ 11:28am mariano: Handy: it was silent... but deadly!
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: Currency humor is hard!
	11:29am still b/p: You coined a phrase there.
	♥ 11:29am p20: @D(iL): I'd love to put this image on a record cover! But I didn't create it and I don't have rights to it, it's just a thing I found while searching online.... for, of all things, a DODECAHEDRON pizza! - which I never found, as somebody pointed out the other day, it would probably be too floppy.
	11:30am sphere: @ p20 - but hey, RPGers love you to pieces! :)
	♥ 11:31am David (in London): Handy, you obviously have a real yen for it though. Sorry, I'll get my coat...
	♥ 11:31am Handy Haversack: @sphere: I can attest that this is 100 percent true. David, thanks for being franc.
	♥ 11:32am David (in London): p20 - It surely is a thing of beauty though.
	♥ 11:32am p20: @sphere: funny thing is, I've never played an RPG in my life. But I've been around D&D fiends and I know a little bit of the lingo.
	♥ 11:32am βrian: "RPG fait boum !"
	♥ 11:33am p20: @D(iL): Thanks, I agree. Maybe with all this extra time I have on my hands I should try to recreate this in my kitchen!
	11:36am sphere: @ p20 - generally, 20-sided dice are associated with D&D instead of other RPGs, so there you go.
	♥ 11:36am David (in London): p20 - I think it's the vampire squid that wraps itself inside out, and it kind of resembles your pizzahedron when it does. I'm going to check that online now.
	♥ 11:36am mariano: p20: Wouldn't be too floppy if it were thin and crispy enough. But then I'm no structural engineer of polyhedral pizzas.
	11:37am Listening Out There: Greetings, Worldly Moderners...
	11:39am Phoebe in Fanwood: Love Mac—and I would’ve sworn the last song was beach house!
	♥ 11:39am p20: @mariano: Triangles are intrinsically stronger than pentagons. It's like truss-work on a bridge - a triangle has no "give". (And also, you have more delicious crust with 20 sides!)
	11:40am Christy D: GREAT SHOW, TROUBLE! Thank you
	♥ 11:40am David (in London): p20 - It's going to be a challenge to keep those toppings in place, though. And check this dude out www.youtube.com...
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: thanks for the kind words@Christy D
	♥ 11:41am Hubig Pie: Gimme land Lotsa land.....
	♥ 11:41am p20: @D(iL): Minimal toppings. And thanks for the squid vid!
