Listener comments!
	♥ 9:01am Handy Haversack: At last, a sunny Thursday, though trouble abounds. But so does Trouble! Morning, Trouble and all the Troubled. We seem to be getting a triple helping of the ills of the modern world over here this week. Makes it extra relieving to be in the Modern World with you all.

	♥ 9:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This show contributes to my Bandcamp wants (needs? desires?) almost as much as The Wire magazine. Thanks, Trouble (I think).
	9:08am Doug in JC: Good morning! An update to the mushroom discussion a few weeks back - I have some fecund fungus growing here: live.staticflickr.com...

	9:08am Jameson57: Constance Demby musics have a certain je ne sais quoi

	♥ 9:12am Trouble: for more of this unusual ruth asawa check this link to a show of 4 women working in litho www.mcasd.digital/experiments-on-stone
	♥ 9:12am steveo: just because
	9:13am tom tom the pipers son: did killdozer ever cover this song?
	♥ 9:14am steveo: yet another cover that provokes the chills and shivers for me (oops "it's because")
	9:14am Doug in JC: Whosampled lists 66 covers, none of them Killdozer
	♥ 9:15am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Trouble and everybody else!
	9:15am listener james from westwood: The sound of this is exactly my jam right now.
	♥ 9:15am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Handy.
	9:17am tom tom the pipers son: thx doug in jc, was kinda half kidding...
	♥ 9:17am Handy Haversack: Wow, Doug! That's fabulous. Thanks, Stanley, friend. Not really. The cops did not charge the dude who smashed into six other cars with anything. which the insurance co. says is increasingly common -- they are pretty much only going after "property crimes" (graffiti) and people or color at this point because of, well, you know. So we're still at the mercy of his insurance. I'll talk to my co. again today since I was able to use privilege and connections to get the police accident report, which otherwise was unobtainable (!). That was four hours of effort yesterday. It's a shitshow top to bottom. But hey, at least the neighbors upstairs let their bedbugs spread. Ugh. What a crap week. Sorry, sorry. I am apparently primed to vent complaints when only very slight pressure is applied. We'll have to find some kind of neutralizing agent. Hey, Andrew!
	♥ 9:18am Will the Sound Guy: Not a cloud in the sky today, working outside and streaming
	♥ 9:18am Threemoons: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers.....
	9:19am Doug in JC: @tom tom I'll never pass up an opportunity to mess around on whosampled
	♥ 9:19am steveo: ugh, Handy; hope it gets easier soon
	9:19am Doug in JC: Jeez handy, why does everything pile up all at once like that sometimes
	♥ 9:19am Threemoons: Handy--Blargh, that SUCKS. Deep breath, it's almost Fri-Yay.
	♥ 9:20am βrian: A beautiful rainy day on the isthmus. Kitty is lounging in the open window.
	♥ 9:20am Strandlund: Hold your head up high, Handy! Better days ahead!
	♥ 9:20am Handy Haversack: If the walls started bleeding now, I think the most I could manage would be, "Yup."
	♥ 9:20am Yes: morning all
	9:20am tom tom the pipers son: ok, first time hearing of whosampled
	♥ 9:20am Will the Sound Guy: Damn sorry to hear about all that crap Handy, hope things start to look up for ya.
	♥ 9:21am drew: I kept hearing Archer saying "phrasing."
	9:21am Doug in JC: Look on the bright side. Free blood!
	♥ 9:22am Stanley: Sheesh, Handy. Do you think the cost of repairing the damage to your car more than its worth? Bed bugs? Bugger! All this when you nee it least. My sympathies.
	♥ 9:22am Strandlund: When I hit the archives...I swear I tune into This Is The Modern World With Trouble 95% of the time.It's an absolutely beautiful show!!
	9:22am Buddha of Suburbia: Hello Trouble! Hello Troubled ones!
	♥ 9:24am Threemoons: Handy--why wouldn't the cops give you an accident report? That's odd. I mean, just WHY stonewall on such a stupid thing?
	♥ 9:24am Irene Trudel: Great to hear, james!
	♥ 9:25am βrian: With six other cars being involved, I think you'd be granted class-action status.
	♥ 9:27am Threemoons: Handy--and don't apologize for venting. We've all been locked up, isolated, working from home, whatever--if nothing else, coffee room and after work drink chitchat/therapy has been thin on the ground, so here we are.....we're here!
	♥ 9:27am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and birdies. 🐦
	♥ 9:27am βrian: Where is Saul when you need him?
	♥ 9:27am Irene Trudel: So sorry for your terrible week, Handy! Hope it gets better soon.
	♥ 9:27am Threemoons: Ken, how do you get little birdie in post? Copypasta from font picker?
	♥ 9:28am steveo: ooh, a 2-syllable tête
	9:28am Zena: Loving this playlist so much Trouble! You really get me - and that really helps -
	9:28am Barbara in PA: Oh, Handy! Hope things turn around quickly! Am sending some PA vibes your way.
	♥ 9:28am Trouble: merci @ zena! i am so sorry to hear@handy! thanks@strandlund!
	♥ 9:29am βrian: Testing: 🦉
	♥ 9:29am Threemoons: And seriously, I think bedbugs are every tenant's worst nightmare. Water is destructive, fire is deadly, but bedbugs are one of the things that most insurance has wonky if any coverage on and a proper treatment is $$$.
	♥ 9:30am βrian: Our two redbud trees are just beginning to burgeon. I canna wait.
	9:31am Buddha of Suburbia: I am so sorry Handy! That's a lot. Hang in there, buddy!
	♥ 9:31am Threemoons: And as far as cars go, I feel blessed that I sold my last used klunker (the last of 7 that I had through high school to law school) for $400 scrap back in 1994. So much hassle....
	♥ 9:31am Threemoons: @Brian how get birdies?
	♥ 9:32am Threemoons: 😍😍😍🎈
	♥ 9:32am Threemoons: There we go
	♥ 9:32am βrian: @Threemoons: ⌘c, ⌘v
	9:32am wizard frog: @Threemoons there ya go 🐓
	♥ 9:33am steveo: April 22!
	♥ 9:33am Handy Haversack: Thanks, friends. It's more valuable than I can say to have a place like this. Threemoons, we had them 12 years ago and still bear the psychic scars. It's a total mindfuck, plus it turns out I'm seriously allergic. Yay, Trouble back in the Magic Factory!
	♥ 9:33am listener 126464: back at Freeform Tower
	♥ 9:33am Ken From Hyde Park: Threemoons, I'm on my cellphone at the moment, so I can use emojis via the keyboard. When I'm on my laptop, I cut/paste from a website.
	9:33am Kpx: Vent away Handy, I and others have vented numerous of times on the comments, and we all been sympathetic and supporting of each other, because Just how WFMU listeners roll. And hey, if you can't do it on a show where the name of our illustrious host name is trouble, then where can you? Morning trouble and moderneers.
	♥ 9:34am Threemoons: ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
	♥ 9:36am βrian: During my renting years, off-street parking was an absolute requirement. For the portion where I lived in a rural setting, that wasn't too hard to arrange.
	♥ 9:37am Will the Sound Guy: 🕊️🐦🐤🦅🦉🐥🐔🐧
	♥ 9:37am Threemoons: @Handy ugh re extra bedbug misery. Sorry that you get allergic to them on top of it. If it helps at all, the services that use trained beagles and cryo really work. When I worked at a Major Cancer Center, our offices had apparently once gotten a bad case which is NO BUENO if it gets spread to places like, let's say, complete bone marrow transplant patients in tented isolation. Apparently the service that really stamped them out was one of the beagle and cryo services; also, cryo is safe for electronics, furniture, etc.
	9:37am tom tom the pipers son: trouble, caught tail end of grand prix last night on tcm with francoise hardy in it. wasn't aware of her movie career. she's very pouty in it. not a very good flick, but i think its on tcm on demand, if you want to catch her.
	♥ 9:37am melinda: Hi everyone!
	♥ 9:38am Threemoons: @Ken Actually I found that on my computer, if I right click in a text field, I get an option for "emoji." I STILL can't log in to the WFMU App on my Android....
	♥ 9:38am Trouble: merci@tom tom!!
	♥ 9:39am Peter in SEA: Look at that Ruth Asawa drawing! Good morning Trouble and Listeners!
	9:40am somalisa: sendin ya a ton of love from sunny barcelona, trouble <3
	9:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JAYzus Handy !! Apt. building I'm in had the bedbugs a couple Summers ago. Like being in the movie Alien - but instead of one big one you got 100s of tiny ones. The first reel of that Horror was the worse one - discovering it & figuring out what was going on ! You're past that already. Reel two is knowing what must be done & the trial of doing it - specifically - isolating every single material possession for half a year - & having the empty apt. treated by very hot air to kill them. I sure do wish the Fates would pick on someone I deem more deserving...
	9:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LadyDay & her self-described range of seven notes I consider the Best Singer - full stop.
	9:42am B.: Trouble Ty 4 U and the calming music.
	♥ 9:42am iiibeat: Merged with the Infinite. I completely love that.
	♥ 9:42am REDSPIDER: This is springtime music!
	♥ 9:42am Threemoons: @RevolutionRabbit Bedbugs are my worst nightmare. I am a bit of a craphound and clearing out this place would be....a Herculean effort. I've lived through flooding and the clean up after that, and bedbugs would be 10x worse....
	9:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also - Billie Holiday a prime & archetypal example of a victim of the War of Drugs.
	♥ 9:44am jabsonik: Smoooooth.
	♥ 9:46am Handy Haversack: It's impossible. We have like 3000 books and four pets in a four-room hallway of an apt. We have called in poison for Saturday. I can't believe my dad and Billie Holiday were friends, but they really apparently were. I think I have mentioned here how when he was drafted for WWII, he gave her his stash of weed to hold while he went to take his physical. After flunking it and coming back for his stash, he was able only to smoke the last of it with her as the rest had all been smoked or sold or shared while he was away. But the friendship endured. My dad's drug talk to me: "Don't smoke too much pot; all my friends died of heroin overdoses."
	♥ 9:47am Will the Sound Guy: That's wild
	9:48am sispus: I <3 billie holiday and I mean it. Her's was the only poster pinned on my young-room wall. I know it is weird :)
	9:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy - incredible.
	♥ 9:49am Matt Fiveash: Thanks for the belated Billie bday set- I forgot to listen to WKCR yesterday!
	♥ 9:49am Stanley: Love hearing about your dad, Handy.
	♥ 9:49am Baja Joe: Hidey ho! Lady Day all day is fine by me.
	♥ 9:50am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Dang, this Billie Holiday set!
	♥ 9:50am karlward: Sinatra doing Cole Porter is alright. Billie doing Cole Porter is perfect.
	9:51am Mark R: Sinatra LOVED Billie Holiday
	9:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Had to get a cot & elevate it - create an 'island' to not feed the bugs with my own blood. They can only crawl - not fly or leap. But they are cryptic - experts @ hiding. You get the rash - like with fleas or mosquitoes. They don't carry disease - but how awful is this ?! Really just the worst. BUT - the remedial steps are well known - & the other side of it WILL come.
	♥ 9:55am Stanley: Sometimes I can't listen to Strange Fruit.
	9:55am eric from lake hiawatha: Thank you for this Billie set!
	9:55am Kpx: When I first moved in where I am now the whole rooming/apartment house was infested with bed bugs, it took about three years to lick the problem in my studio apartment for about 6 months. But then the current superintendent would come in and reinfest my apartment, he moved out about 2 years ago, and soon after that the bedbug problem was eradicated. And we've been bed bug free ever since.
	9:56am B.: "..under they sycamore tree..." Jimmy Scott/ Lynch
	9:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...used diatomaceous earth powder : crawling bugs don't like crossing any kind of powder - which is useful to know. Resorted to toxic foggers : landlord said that just chases them from one apt. to another. But it worked for me... Sorry for the distraction LadyDay! But I think there's stigma around bedbugs - & straight info is good.
	♥ 9:57am Peter in SEA: Abel Meeropol (1903-1986) NYC-Longmeadow, MA AKA Lewis Allan.
	♥ 9:58am Birdman: One of my students did a review of the Billie Holiday film that just came out, she loved it - I still need to see it. Heard it’s pretty gut-wrenching though.
	♥ 9:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	♥ 9:59am Roberto: Well these lyrics might be just a tad outdated.
	9:59am sphere: this is wonderful. you hear Billie Holiday's name so often that her work takes a back seat. having it come alive in your ears is amazing.
	10:00am sphere: and hullo
	10:00am the serpent: Yesterday was also Wordsworth’s birthday !
	♥ 10:00am Will the Sound Guy: Solid set trouble!
	10:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: sphere exactly. So much like a horn - direct relation to Louie Armstrong I think. Truly & profoundly a Musician - like Ella was but in a distinctly different way of course.
	10:02am Buddha of Suburbia: Bye everyone! Great show! Great company. xxoo
	10:05am Kpx: L8er Buddha .
	10:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also - there is the issue of everybody in the building needing to be on the same page with bug treatment to really get them out. Yeah.
	♥ 10:06am Threemoons: @Handy WOW RE Billie Holiday Story!
	♥ 10:08am karlward: Matt Fiveash: I was out of the house but listening to your show yesterday. If I had been in front of a computer during your show, I would have sent you "Rage Against the Tagine" www.instagram.com...
	♥ 10:11am Handy Haversack: Dang, for some reason can't see that one without a login, karlward.
	♥ 10:12am Phillippe Bastille: @Handy just a word on your car: If the car is totaled and the body damage is something you can live with or think you can get done cheaply, you can usually buy the car back from your insurance company at the salvage value. You'll get a salvage title that will impact how much the insurance company will pay you if you get in another crash, and the car will be fairly worthless when you try to trade it in later, but at least you'll still have transportation.
	♥ 10:13am Passaic River Blues: @karlward: The Leenalchiz Whiz is so good. The ingredients on the rim of the lid (Rabbit + Turtle + Dragon King)? GENIUS.
	♥ 10:14am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Phillippe. I am not totally sure I follow, but hopefully more will be clear soon. I will definitely be coming to you with questions!
	♥ 10:15am Trouble: thanks@will!
	10:15am Kpx: @RRN63: egg'xactly. The landlord would send in this exterminator once a month, but he barely put a dent in the problem. Well between him and everyone else treating the problem and the absence of someone who kept spreading them around eventually put an end to the bed bugs.
	♥ 10:15am Matt Fiveash: karlward: Wow, had totally forgotten about that! I think it was Michele's show where that insane avalanche of food/band name puns happened. Looks like I picked a hell of a week to delete instagram...
	♥ 10:15am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: moin
	♥ 10:15am karlward: Handy: twitter.com... ?
	♥ 10:16am karlward: Handy: also, these puns will show up on non-social media real soon now
	10:17am sphere: Why is the 21st century becoming the Age of Puns?
	♥ 10:18am Trouble: i'm reading Aoko Matsuda"s "where the wild ladies are": it's super! short stories based on ancient Japanese ghost stories
	♥ 10:18am βrian: @sphere: You're not a dad, right?
	♥ 10:19am Peter in SEA: Violaine! Très Chic!
	♥ 10:19am karlward: Passaic River Blues: Making the "Leenalchiz Whiz" drawing is what got me into actual LEENALCHI. Before spending a couple hours listening to them while coloring, I was like "whatever" on them. Now LEENALCHI gets me hype.
	10:21am annette: there is a water based bed bug spray called "good night" or something like it. safe for kids beds and clothes. just let it dry. also effective for fleas and tics
	♥ 10:22am listener 126464: nice cover
	♥ 10:22am Handy Haversack: Excellent, karlward.
	♥ 10:22am Jason from Houston: Cuíca time!!!
	♥ 10:22am paddy in matawan: oooohhh!
	♥ 10:23am Jason from Houston: Those look great, karlward!
	♥ 10:23am Will the Sound Guy: I saw that leenalchi whiz doodle yesterday and it's totally awesome thanks for making it. Well done!
	10:23am Another Patrick from Hoboken: I love this predict a riot
	10:24am re bed bugs: also remembering a readers digest article about a girls grandmother in france who burned dishes of (sulphur, maybe) as an effective home remedy for bed bugs.
	♥ 10:25am jabsonik: Yeah, I Predict a Riot was hot! (As any riot should.)
	10:29am Layet Johnson: Trouble, as always, thank you for a wonderful set
	10:31am headcleaner: Thankfully, the house I live in has no bedbugs. And is rent controlled. So I'll never be able to move (it's just too expensive and too risky). I'm like, doomed..
	♥ 10:31am Trouble: you are very welcome@layet!
	10:32am headcleaner: I predict a Pussy Riot song coming up
	♥ 10:32am thriftstoreleather: great show today, Trouble ♥♥
	♥ 10:32am βrian: Hmm, now I'm thinking I need to bake a hand-me-down sofa I'm going to get.
	♥ 10:33am Little Danny: Hi Trouble, hi all
	♥ 10:35am Trouble: gracias@thriftstore!
	♥ 10:36am karlward: Love that Bobby Oroza
	10:36am sphere: this alewya tune is killer.
	♥ 10:37am PaulRobeson1920: Good morning, WFMU land!
	10:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: annette - Thx yeah - ritual of head to toe natural new age bug sprays - mosquito repellants ...aw - so much ! What an ordeal... Burning sulphur sounds like an old school version of the foggers. Like WWI chemical warfare...
	10:38am B.: alewya - sounding azaaaaazing
	♥ 10:38am Passaic River Blues: @sphere: Moses Boyd Exodus is a fantastic group (started listening after hearing them cover Sun Ra). "Rye Lane Shuffle" is pretty dope.
	10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ... & lots of TeaTree Oil - which fortunately I love & they hate...
	10:39am sphere: @ PRB: Thanks for the info! I've seen them on Bandcamp and will track them down again. :)
	10:39am Fredericks: Eugene Chadbourne has a Great album named Bed Bugs.
	10:41am Kpx: Je saurai prendre congé en ce moment, vous resterez où vous êtes jusqu'à ce que je sois parti, si je reviens dans le futur, que ce soit avec une meilleure compréhension. jusque-là adieu et va bien. Mademoiselle trouble.
	♥ 10:44am PaulRobeson1920: HApPy BeLated BiRThDAY, Billie Holiday!! April 7, 1915 - July 17, 1959 & A Happy Almost BiRtHdAY, Paul Robeson! April 9th, 1898 - January 23, 1976
	♥ 10:44am karlward: Pablo's Break, that simple hi hat + sidestick pattern is hypnotic
	♥ 10:50am Passaic River Blues: Killer set culminating in Billy Paul's pro-Keynesian funk!
	♥ 10:51am Jason from Houston: Whoops. Already clicked this star.
	♥ 10:53am Trouble: gracias@prb! billy paul : a man of infinite mystery!
	♥ 10:55am eºIºk: So I don't understand much about the economic issues of the 1970s. From our current perspective, was letting the dollar circulate a good idea, or was it a crackpot idea, like saying that Bigfoot should have a classified ambassadorial summit with Nixon? (OK maybe not that last one, I just made that up. Hmmm, good book idea! I'll self-publish it! $$Ka-ching!$$)
	♥ 10:55am Mike W: amazing sounds of life, so grateful
	♥ 10:55am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Trouble and everyone! Just joining in so I missed the new Pharaoh Sanders at the beginning of the show. I'm excited to hear that in the future.
	♥ 10:57am Handy Haversack: Hey, Jason, Ike, Mike W, tim.
	♥ 10:58am Rich in Bristol: Is that Hiatus Kaiyote song brand new? It sounds like an instant classic!
	10:59am Andres: Good morning, Trouble and all! Chiming in for Bomba Estéreo and Lido Pimienta! So great!
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: El Agua Es Vida
	11:01am Kpx: That was goodbye Rex style .
	11:02am Gary in soflo: killin it today. much love. thank you Trouble, Crew, and all
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo 🎶 birdies.
	♥ 11:03am Handy Haversack: Bagpipe and I are going to head out in the sun and see if it can do anything about my dark cloud. Thanks, Trouble! This was really great. Later on, all.
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Enjoy Handy ! <3
	♥ 11:04am Trouble: good luck@handy!! thanks @gary! yes@rich: brand new!
	11:04am Barbie: Just left Rees are open
	11:04am B.: Cherry Blossoms .. Branch Brook Park was my backyard growing up. Truly Breathtaking.
	11:05am davefromtoronto: fellow bird lover here - trouble, what are your faves?
	♥ 11:08am listener 126464: Lived near BBP on N. Belmont in the 80's
	♥ 11:08am Trouble: @davefromtoronto: herons, osprey, cedar waxwing. and you ?
	11:10am Kpx: Alright, chop liver sliding off the plate and into the disposal. ತ_ತ
	♥ 11:10am steveo: the "kanzan" cherries around my neighborhood in Brooklyn (about a mile from the Botanic Garden) are not blooming yet. these seem to be one of the more popular varieties. Hiked Branch Brook and the rest of the Lenape Trail in November. Very interesting.
	11:11am davefromtoronto: all thrushes. cooper's hawk, starlings, goldfinch, ravens.
	♥ 11:13am Andrea: sometimes you feel bad.
	♥ 11:14am Mike W: Handleton! enjoy the sun, it has helped me and my fog-gone-dark cloud today
	♥ 11:14am Mike W: Roger Fakhr laying down the heavy truth
	11:15am tom tom the pipers son: had herons and white egrets in my backyard creek growing up in LI. that same creek would destroy the house i grew up in in hurricane sandy
	♥ 11:16am eºIºk: @126464, I lived near there, off Heller Pkwy., in the 00s and a bit beyond. Occasionally there'd be a flatbed truck with a bunch of cherry blossom trees ready to be implanted in the park so we could stay ahead of D.C.! Some politician had a competition going.
	♥ 11:17am tim from champaign (now washington): I recently learned that there's a Pacific Northwest Crow. SInce I moved to Washington I'd noticed crows a little bit bigger that grackles along side regular sized crows. I finally looked it up and sure enough there's a subspecies of crows. I had no idea.
	♥ 11:18am Jason from Houston: If you folks every find yourselves on the Texas coast in March-May, don't miss the Smith Oaks Rookery on High Island. We went last Friday and it was bonkers. Lots of herons and roseate spoonbills.
	11:19am davefromtoronto: i'm right in the city and there was a peregrine falcon loitering around for a couple of weeks. i could stand right under it and watch it chase the pigeons. amazing!
	♥ 11:20am Jason from Houston: houstonaudubon.org...
	♥ 11:20am Trouble: now for the weirdest song of the day: blue jean queen
	11:20am anders: sounds like it could be dan bejar's uncle
	11:20am wizard frog: who IS that blue jean queen?
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: For Thors'day.
	♥ 11:21am Jason from Houston: Hahahaha!
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @Trouble: Weirder than "Me and Mrs. Jones"? :)
	11:21am Micheal: I hope Magnus Thor was his birth name.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...she got a jean goin' on...
	♥ 11:21am tim from champaign (now washington): @Jason - I've always wanted to go to the Texas gulf islands during migration season. And that's not code for spring break either :)
	♥ 11:22am Trouble: mmmmm@joeMcG: maybe not. the blue jean queen has a touch of class and nonchalance
	11:23am wizard frog: hahaha
	♥ 11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): Inspiration for Bowie's Blue Jean maybe?
	♥ 11:24am Little Danny: So great! I love the touches of Sgt. Pepper production.
	♥ 11:25am Carmichael: Heya Trubb and commenters.
	♥ 11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. First record I ever bought.
	♥ 11:26am listener james from westwood: Aw yiss—excellent Elton here!
	11:26am Cynthia: How much do I love Grey Seal? So much.
	♥ 11:26am Trouble: this record probably made me want to be a drummer
	11:26am sphere: The bassist for the Elton John band is still totally underrated.
	♥ 11:27am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The thing about this record is that it's stylistically all over the place but somehow manages to hang together.
	♥ 11:27am Hubig Pie: P'rolly been about 5 decades since I heard this last
	♥ 11:28am G: One of the best songs (underappreciated) on GYBR. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with someone on another board (not FMU) who was singing its praises...
	11:28am sphere: Another thing about '70s AOR is that we don't really think about how influential prog was on people like Elton John and Billy Joel.
	11:28am Adrian in London: Half past four in London and I’ve just remembered that it’s Thursday. 🙄 Hello Trouble!
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elton just a completely convincing singer. Whereas BillyJoel completely not. Ymmv.
	♥ 11:28am tim from champaign (now washington): I love love love the Grand Royale flexi of Biz Markie singing over Bennie an the Jets.
	11:28am Patster: Love it!!
	11:29am davefromtoronto: poor billy joel gets pushed in front of the bus again!
	♥ 11:30am Jason from Houston: Oh trust, tim from champaign (now washington). It is really wonderful. The Galveston spring break/biker rally/golf cart drunks and the rookery crowd have no overlap. That I know of...
	♥ 11:30am G: @dave: Too popular in the NYC area for here lol
	♥ 11:31am HyperDose: The IT Crowd is essential programming Oh, and back from jab #1. Got the Pfizer flavor, pretty tasty!
	♥ 11:31am tim from champaign (now washington): Trouble! Language!
	♥ 11:32am Jason from Houston: Good news, HyperDose!
	♥ 11:34am tim from champaign (now washington): Way to go Hyperdose! I get my Pfizer #2 on Sunday.
	♥ 11:34am Pale Son: A friend of mine once claimed to have seen a double-bill concert featuring both Elton John AND Billy Joel. Can that be possible? I couldn't get the image of Donald and Daffy Duck in their Roger Rabbit piano-off out of my mind after that.
	♥ 11:34am Carmichael: I'm getting the #2 Pfizer this afternoon. Praying I don't get as sick as my daughter did when she got hers.
	11:34am Toutevoix: ((((((◍))))))
	♥ 11:35am theia: better a little sick than a lot sick or worse, #2 for me comes in 3 weeks can't wait! :)
	♥ 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): @Carmichael - what were your daughter's post shot symptoms?
	♥ 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): @theia - agreed.
	♥ 11:37am Carmichael: @tim, severe nausea and fever (100.7). She seems better now than Tuesday.
	11:37am davefromtoronto: those 2 guys toured together pale son!
	♥ 11:37am Hubig Pie: BJ and EJ did extensive tandem tours mid90's
	♥ 11:38am HyperDose: Thanks Jason! Hope you'll keep us posted, Tim! @Carmichael I was happy to get this one, from what I've heard it isn't as bad as the Moderna second dose (if you even get any effects). Good luck!
	♥ 11:38am tim from champaign (now washington): @Carmichael - good to know. I'm glad she's feeling better too.
	♥ 11:38am Pale Son: That's crazy, man. Those poor pianos must've taken a real bashing.
	♥ 11:38am Rich in Bristol: I didn't think I would be into birdsong sample music, but Psilosamples has changed me!
	11:38am Toutevoix: Psilosamples LowSounD Ecstaticloops and so on... appreciated
	11:40am JuneBeesMatthews: This music is everything 🙏Thank you
	♥ 11:40am Trouble: there are two records from the same record label @rich in bristol: look for it on bandcamp

	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Band On the Run melody in there?
	♥ 11:47am Mike W: @Trouble what’s the second record? Their Bandcamp page only has the South American birds one... maybe i’m caught between two different subjects here though life is so confusing!
	♥ 11:47am Greg from ZONE 5: Putting it on my quarantine to-do list!
	♥ 11:48am eºIºk: Re: the cherry blossoms, Japan has recorded its earliest cherry blossom bloom in 1,200 years (admittedly the records are incomplete though): apnews.com... Cool pics in that article!

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.

Listener comments!
	♥ 9:01am Handy Haversack: At last, a sunny Thursday, though trouble abounds. But so does Trouble! Morning, Trouble and all the Troubled. We seem to be getting a triple helping of the ills of the modern world over here this week. Makes it extra relieving to be in the Modern World with you all.
	♥ 9:01am Trouble: good morning sunny thursday!
	♥ 9:01am steveo: [exhales]
	♥ 9:02am Strandlund: Nothing but Trouble!!
	♥ 9:03am Irene Trudel: Beautiful morning to you, Trouble and Modern World-ers!
	♥ 9:03am Trouble: maybe constance demby can help: www.constancedemby.com... she just passed on into the infinite last month: innovative sound pioneer and instrument maker.
	♥ 9:03am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning! Hey Handy, steveo
	♥ 9:04am Will the Sound Guy: Good morning Trouble and everyone!
	♥ 9:04am Pale Son: Morning, folks! Love this album and this track. Sorry to hear of Demby's passing.

	♥ 9:04am oshiwoshi: Morning all!
	♥ 9:05am Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe, steveo, Irene, Will, Pale Son, Strandlund, all.
	♥ 9:05am Stanley: Hi Trouble. Hope you are well. Hi everyone. Sorry to hear of your troubles, Handy. Is there any news on the damage to your car?
	9:06am listener james from westwood: How do, Trouble and all!! Just got my second shot not one hour ago! Victory doughnuts next!!
	♥ 9:07am Trouble: congratulations @james frm westwd!
	♥ 9:07am Birdman: Good morning :)
	9:07am Tom in St. Paul: OMs sing you through the next Stargate, Constance! Thanks for playing this, Trouble.
	♥ 9:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This show contributes to my Bandcamp wants (needs? desires?) almost as much as The Wire magazine. Thanks, Trouble (I think).
	9:08am Doug in JC: Good morning! An update to the mushroom discussion a few weeks back - I have some fecund fungus growing here: live.staticflickr.com...
	♥ 9:08am Trouble: i take that as a great compliment @woods...
	♥ 9:08am Trouble: whoa! that looks outstanding @doug!
	9:08am Jameson57: Constance Demby musics have a certain je ne sais quoi
	9:09am Doug in JC: Thanks Trouble! I think I'm going to cook some tonight
	♥ 9:09am Birdman: I feel cleansed
	♥ 9:10am listener 126464: Moderna World, thanks for Constance link Trouble.
	♥ 9:11am waters7: Thank you thank you thank you
	♥ 9:12am Trouble: for more of this unusual ruth asawa check this link to a show of 4 women working in litho www.mcasd.digital/experiments-on-stone
	♥ 9:12am steveo: just because
	9:13am tom tom the pipers son: did killdozer ever cover this song?
	♥ 9:14am steveo: yet another cover that provokes the chills and shivers for me (oops "it's because")
	9:14am Doug in JC: Whosampled lists 66 covers, none of them Killdozer
	♥ 9:15am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Trouble and everybody else!
	9:15am listener james from westwood: The sound of this is exactly my jam right now.
	♥ 9:15am Andrew in Toronto: Hi there Handy.
	9:17am tom tom the pipers son: thx doug in jc, was kinda half kidding...
	♥ 9:17am Handy Haversack: Wow, Doug! That's fabulous. Thanks, Stanley, friend. Not really. The cops did not charge the dude who smashed into six other cars with anything. which the insurance co. says is increasingly common -- they are pretty much only going after "property crimes" (graffiti) and people or color at this point because of, well, you know. So we're still at the mercy of his insurance. I'll talk to my co. again today since I was able to use privilege and connections to get the police accident report, which otherwise was unobtainable (!). That was four hours of effort yesterday. It's a shitshow top to bottom. But hey, at least the neighbors upstairs let their bedbugs spread. Ugh. What a crap week. Sorry, sorry. I am apparently primed to vent complaints when only very slight pressure is applied. We'll have to find some kind of neutralizing agent. Hey, Andrew!
	♥ 9:18am Will the Sound Guy: Not a cloud in the sky today, working outside and streaming
	♥ 9:18am Threemoons: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers.....
	9:19am Doug in JC: @tom tom I'll never pass up an opportunity to mess around on whosampled
	♥ 9:19am steveo: ugh, Handy; hope it gets easier soon
	9:19am Doug in JC: Jeez handy, why does everything pile up all at once like that sometimes
	♥ 9:19am Threemoons: Handy--Blargh, that SUCKS. Deep breath, it's almost Fri-Yay.
	♥ 9:20am βrian: A beautiful rainy day on the isthmus. Kitty is lounging in the open window.
	♥ 9:20am Strandlund: Hold your head up high, Handy! Better days ahead!
	♥ 9:20am Handy Haversack: If the walls started bleeding now, I think the most I could manage would be, "Yup."
	♥ 9:20am Yes: morning all
	9:20am tom tom the pipers son: ok, first time hearing of whosampled
	♥ 9:20am Will the Sound Guy: Damn sorry to hear about all that crap Handy, hope things start to look up for ya.
	♥ 9:21am drew: I kept hearing Archer saying "phrasing."
	9:21am Doug in JC: Look on the bright side. Free blood!
	♥ 9:22am Stanley: Sheesh, Handy. Do you think the cost of repairing the damage to your car more than its worth? Bed bugs? Bugger! All this when you nee it least. My sympathies.
	♥ 9:22am Strandlund: When I hit the archives...I swear I tune into This Is The Modern World With Trouble 95% of the time.It's an absolutely beautiful show!!
	9:22am Buddha of Suburbia: Hello Trouble! Hello Troubled ones!
	♥ 9:24am Threemoons: Handy--why wouldn't the cops give you an accident report? That's odd. I mean, just WHY stonewall on such a stupid thing?
	♥ 9:24am Irene Trudel: Great to hear, james!
	♥ 9:25am βrian: With six other cars being involved, I think you'd be granted class-action status.
	♥ 9:27am Threemoons: Handy--and don't apologize for venting. We've all been locked up, isolated, working from home, whatever--if nothing else, coffee room and after work drink chitchat/therapy has been thin on the ground, so here we are.....we're here!
	♥ 9:27am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and birdies. 🐦
	♥ 9:27am βrian: Where is Saul when you need him?
	♥ 9:27am Irene Trudel: So sorry for your terrible week, Handy! Hope it gets better soon.
	♥ 9:27am Threemoons: Ken, how do you get little birdie in post? Copypasta from font picker?
	♥ 9:28am steveo: ooh, a 2-syllable tête
	9:28am Zena: Loving this playlist so much Trouble! You really get me - and that really helps -
	9:28am Barbara in PA: Oh, Handy! Hope things turn around quickly! Am sending some PA vibes your way.
	♥ 9:28am Trouble: merci @ zena! i am so sorry to hear@handy! thanks@strandlund!
	♥ 9:29am βrian: Testing: 🦉
	♥ 9:29am Threemoons: And seriously, I think bedbugs are every tenant's worst nightmare. Water is destructive, fire is deadly, but bedbugs are one of the things that most insurance has wonky if any coverage on and a proper treatment is $$$.
	♥ 9:30am βrian: Our two redbud trees are just beginning to burgeon. I canna wait.
	9:31am Buddha of Suburbia: I am so sorry Handy! That's a lot. Hang in there, buddy!
	♥ 9:31am Threemoons: And as far as cars go, I feel blessed that I sold my last used klunker (the last of 7 that I had through high school to law school) for $400 scrap back in 1994. So much hassle....
	♥ 9:31am Threemoons: @Brian how get birdies?
	♥ 9:32am Threemoons: 😍😍😍🎈
	♥ 9:32am Threemoons: There we go
	♥ 9:32am βrian: @Threemoons: ⌘c, ⌘v
	9:32am wizard frog: @Threemoons there ya go 🐓
	♥ 9:33am steveo: April 22!
	♥ 9:33am Handy Haversack: Thanks, friends. It's more valuable than I can say to have a place like this. Threemoons, we had them 12 years ago and still bear the psychic scars. It's a total mindfuck, plus it turns out I'm seriously allergic. Yay, Trouble back in the Magic Factory!
	♥ 9:33am listener 126464: back at Freeform Tower
	♥ 9:33am Ken From Hyde Park: Threemoons, I'm on my cellphone at the moment, so I can use emojis via the keyboard. When I'm on my laptop, I cut/paste from a website.
	9:33am Kpx: Vent away Handy, I and others have vented numerous of times on the comments, and we all been sympathetic and supporting of each other, because Just how WFMU listeners roll. And hey, if you can't do it on a show where the name of our illustrious host name is trouble, then where can you? Morning trouble and moderneers.
	♥ 9:34am Threemoons: ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
	♥ 9:36am βrian: During my renting years, off-street parking was an absolute requirement. For the portion where I lived in a rural setting, that wasn't too hard to arrange.
	♥ 9:37am Will the Sound Guy: 🕊️🐦🐤🦅🦉🐥🐔🐧
	♥ 9:37am Threemoons: @Handy ugh re extra bedbug misery. Sorry that you get allergic to them on top of it. If it helps at all, the services that use trained beagles and cryo really work. When I worked at a Major Cancer Center, our offices had apparently once gotten a bad case which is NO BUENO if it gets spread to places like, let's say, complete bone marrow transplant patients in tented isolation. Apparently the service that really stamped them out was one of the beagle and cryo services; also, cryo is safe for electronics, furniture, etc.
	9:37am tom tom the pipers son: trouble, caught tail end of grand prix last night on tcm with francoise hardy in it. wasn't aware of her movie career. she's very pouty in it. not a very good flick, but i think its on tcm on demand, if you want to catch her.
	♥ 9:37am melinda: Hi everyone!
	♥ 9:38am Threemoons: @Ken Actually I found that on my computer, if I right click in a text field, I get an option for "emoji." I STILL can't log in to the WFMU App on my Android....
	♥ 9:38am Trouble: merci@tom tom!!
	♥ 9:39am Peter in SEA: Look at that Ruth Asawa drawing! Good morning Trouble and Listeners!
	9:40am somalisa: sendin ya a ton of love from sunny barcelona, trouble <3
	9:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: JAYzus Handy !! Apt. building I'm in had the bedbugs a couple Summers ago. Like being in the movie Alien - but instead of one big one you got 100s of tiny ones. The first reel of that Horror was the worse one - discovering it & figuring out what was going on ! You're past that already. Reel two is knowing what must be done & the trial of doing it - specifically - isolating every single material possession for half a year - & having the empty apt. treated by very hot air to kill them. I sure do wish the Fates would pick on someone I deem more deserving...
	9:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: LadyDay & her self-described range of seven notes I consider the Best Singer - full stop.
	9:42am B.: Trouble Ty 4 U and the calming music.
	♥ 9:42am iiibeat: Merged with the Infinite. I completely love that.
	♥ 9:42am REDSPIDER: This is springtime music!
	♥ 9:42am Threemoons: @RevolutionRabbit Bedbugs are my worst nightmare. I am a bit of a craphound and clearing out this place would be....a Herculean effort. I've lived through flooding and the clean up after that, and bedbugs would be 10x worse....
	9:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Also - Billie Holiday a prime & archetypal example of a victim of the War of Drugs.
	♥ 9:44am jabsonik: Smoooooth.
	♥ 9:46am Handy Haversack: It's impossible. We have like 3000 books and four pets in a four-room hallway of an apt. We have called in poison for Saturday. I can't believe my dad and Billie Holiday were friends, but they really apparently were. I think I have mentioned here how when he was drafted for WWII, he gave her his stash of weed to hold while he went to take his physical. After flunking it and coming back for his stash, he was able only to smoke the last of it with her as the rest had all been smoked or sold or shared while he was away. But the friendship endured. My dad's drug talk to me: "Don't smoke too much pot; all my friends died of heroin overdoses."
	♥ 9:47am Will the Sound Guy: That's wild
	9:48am sispus: I <3 billie holiday and I mean it. Her's was the only poster pinned on my young-room wall. I know it is weird :)
	9:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy - incredible.
	♥ 9:49am Matt Fiveash: Thanks for the belated Billie bday set- I forgot to listen to WKCR yesterday!
	♥ 9:49am Stanley: Love hearing about your dad, Handy.
	♥ 9:49am Baja Joe: Hidey ho! Lady Day all day is fine by me.
	♥ 9:50am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Dang, this Billie Holiday set!
	♥ 9:50am karlward: Sinatra doing Cole Porter is alright. Billie doing Cole Porter is perfect.
	9:51am Mark R: Sinatra LOVED Billie Holiday
	9:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Had to get a cot & elevate it - create an 'island' to not feed the bugs with my own blood. They can only crawl - not fly or leap. But they are cryptic - experts @ hiding. You get the rash - like with fleas or mosquitoes. They don't carry disease - but how awful is this ?! Really just the worst. BUT - the remedial steps are well known - & the other side of it WILL come.
	♥ 9:55am Stanley: Sometimes I can't listen to Strange Fruit.
	9:55am eric from lake hiawatha: Thank you for this Billie set!
	9:55am Kpx: When I first moved in where I am now the whole rooming/apartment house was infested with bed bugs, it took about three years to lick the problem in my studio apartment for about 6 months. But then the current superintendent would come in and reinfest my apartment, he moved out about 2 years ago, and soon after that the bedbug problem was eradicated. And we've been bed bug free ever since.
	9:56am B.: "..under they sycamore tree..." Jimmy Scott/ Lynch
	9:57am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...used diatomaceous earth powder : crawling bugs don't like crossing any kind of powder - which is useful to know. Resorted to toxic foggers : landlord said that just chases them from one apt. to another. But it worked for me... Sorry for the distraction LadyDay! But I think there's stigma around bedbugs - & straight info is good.
	♥ 9:57am Peter in SEA: Abel Meeropol (1903-1986) NYC-Longmeadow, MA AKA Lewis Allan.
	♥ 9:58am Birdman: One of my students did a review of the Billie Holiday film that just came out, she loved it - I still need to see it. Heard it’s pretty gut-wrenching though.
	♥ 9:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	♥ 9:59am Roberto: Well these lyrics might be just a tad outdated.
	9:59am sphere: this is wonderful. you hear Billie Holiday's name so often that her work takes a back seat. having it come alive in your ears is amazing.
	10:00am sphere: and hullo
	10:00am the serpent: Yesterday was also Wordsworth’s birthday !
	♥ 10:00am Will the Sound Guy: Solid set trouble!
	10:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: sphere exactly. So much like a horn - direct relation to Louie Armstrong I think. Truly & profoundly a Musician - like Ella was but in a distinctly different way of course.
	10:02am Buddha of Suburbia: Bye everyone! Great show! Great company. xxoo
	10:05am Kpx: L8er Buddha .
	10:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also - there is the issue of everybody in the building needing to be on the same page with bug treatment to really get them out. Yeah.
	♥ 10:06am Threemoons: @Handy WOW RE Billie Holiday Story!
	♥ 10:08am karlward: Matt Fiveash: I was out of the house but listening to your show yesterday. If I had been in front of a computer during your show, I would have sent you "Rage Against the Tagine" www.instagram.com...
	♥ 10:11am Handy Haversack: Dang, for some reason can't see that one without a login, karlward.
	♥ 10:12am Phillippe Bastille: @Handy just a word on your car: If the car is totaled and the body damage is something you can live with or think you can get done cheaply, you can usually buy the car back from your insurance company at the salvage value. You'll get a salvage title that will impact how much the insurance company will pay you if you get in another crash, and the car will be fairly worthless when you try to trade it in later, but at least you'll still have transportation.
	♥ 10:13am Passaic River Blues: @karlward: The Leenalchiz Whiz is so good. The ingredients on the rim of the lid (Rabbit + Turtle + Dragon King)? GENIUS.
	♥ 10:14am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Phillippe. I am not totally sure I follow, but hopefully more will be clear soon. I will definitely be coming to you with questions!
	♥ 10:15am Trouble: thanks@will!
	10:15am Kpx: @RRN63: egg'xactly. The landlord would send in this exterminator once a month, but he barely put a dent in the problem. Well between him and everyone else treating the problem and the absence of someone who kept spreading them around eventually put an end to the bed bugs.
	♥ 10:15am Matt Fiveash: karlward: Wow, had totally forgotten about that! I think it was Michele's show where that insane avalanche of food/band name puns happened. Looks like I picked a hell of a week to delete instagram...
	♥ 10:15am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: moin
	♥ 10:15am karlward: Handy: twitter.com... ?
	♥ 10:16am karlward: Handy: also, these puns will show up on non-social media real soon now
	10:17am sphere: Why is the 21st century becoming the Age of Puns?
	♥ 10:18am Trouble: i'm reading Aoko Matsuda"s "where the wild ladies are": it's super! short stories based on ancient Japanese ghost stories
	♥ 10:18am βrian: @sphere: You're not a dad, right?
	♥ 10:19am Peter in SEA: Violaine! Très Chic!
	♥ 10:19am karlward: Passaic River Blues: Making the "Leenalchiz Whiz" drawing is what got me into actual LEENALCHI. Before spending a couple hours listening to them while coloring, I was like "whatever" on them. Now LEENALCHI gets me hype.
	10:21am annette: there is a water based bed bug spray called "good night" or something like it. safe for kids beds and clothes. just let it dry. also effective for fleas and tics
	♥ 10:22am listener 126464: nice cover
	♥ 10:22am Handy Haversack: Excellent, karlward.
	♥ 10:22am Jason from Houston: Cuíca time!!!
	♥ 10:22am paddy in matawan: oooohhh!
	♥ 10:23am Jason from Houston: Those look great, karlward!
	♥ 10:23am Will the Sound Guy: I saw that leenalchi whiz doodle yesterday and it's totally awesome thanks for making it. Well done!
	10:23am Another Patrick from Hoboken: I love this predict a riot
	10:24am re bed bugs: also remembering a readers digest article about a girls grandmother in france who burned dishes of (sulphur, maybe) as an effective home remedy for bed bugs.
	♥ 10:25am jabsonik: Yeah, I Predict a Riot was hot! (As any riot should.)
	10:29am Layet Johnson: Trouble, as always, thank you for a wonderful set
	10:31am headcleaner: Thankfully, the house I live in has no bedbugs. And is rent controlled. So I'll never be able to move (it's just too expensive and too risky). I'm like, doomed..
	♥ 10:31am Trouble: you are very welcome@layet!
	10:32am headcleaner: I predict a Pussy Riot song coming up
	♥ 10:32am thriftstoreleather: great show today, Trouble ♥♥
	♥ 10:32am βrian: Hmm, now I'm thinking I need to bake a hand-me-down sofa I'm going to get.
	♥ 10:33am Little Danny: Hi Trouble, hi all
	♥ 10:35am Trouble: gracias@thriftstore!
	♥ 10:36am karlward: Love that Bobby Oroza
	10:36am sphere: this alewya tune is killer.
	♥ 10:37am PaulRobeson1920: Good morning, WFMU land!
	10:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: annette - Thx yeah - ritual of head to toe natural new age bug sprays - mosquito repellants ...aw - so much ! What an ordeal... Burning sulphur sounds like an old school version of the foggers. Like WWI chemical warfare...
	10:38am B.: alewya - sounding azaaaaazing
	♥ 10:38am Passaic River Blues: @sphere: Moses Boyd Exodus is a fantastic group (started listening after hearing them cover Sun Ra). "Rye Lane Shuffle" is pretty dope.
	10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ... & lots of TeaTree Oil - which fortunately I love & they hate...
	10:39am sphere: @ PRB: Thanks for the info! I've seen them on Bandcamp and will track them down again. :)
	10:39am Fredericks: Eugene Chadbourne has a Great album named Bed Bugs.
	10:41am Kpx: Je saurai prendre congé en ce moment, vous resterez où vous êtes jusqu'à ce que je sois parti, si je reviens dans le futur, que ce soit avec une meilleure compréhension. jusque-là adieu et va bien. Mademoiselle trouble.
	♥ 10:44am PaulRobeson1920: HApPy BeLated BiRThDAY, Billie Holiday!! April 7, 1915 - July 17, 1959 & A Happy Almost BiRtHdAY, Paul Robeson! April 9th, 1898 - January 23, 1976
	♥ 10:44am karlward: Pablo's Break, that simple hi hat + sidestick pattern is hypnotic
	♥ 10:50am Passaic River Blues: Killer set culminating in Billy Paul's pro-Keynesian funk!
	♥ 10:51am Jason from Houston: Whoops. Already clicked this star.
	♥ 10:53am Trouble: gracias@prb! billy paul : a man of infinite mystery!
	♥ 10:55am eºIºk: So I don't understand much about the economic issues of the 1970s. From our current perspective, was letting the dollar circulate a good idea, or was it a crackpot idea, like saying that Bigfoot should have a classified ambassadorial summit with Nixon? (OK maybe not that last one, I just made that up. Hmmm, good book idea! I'll self-publish it! $$Ka-ching!$$)
	♥ 10:55am Mike W: amazing sounds of life, so grateful
	♥ 10:55am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Trouble and everyone! Just joining in so I missed the new Pharaoh Sanders at the beginning of the show. I'm excited to hear that in the future.

	♥ 10:58am Rich in Bristol: Is that Hiatus Kaiyote song brand new? It sounds like an instant classic!
	10:59am Andres: Good morning, Trouble and all! Chiming in for Bomba Estéreo and Lido Pimienta! So great!
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: El Agua Es Vida
	11:01am Kpx: That was goodbye Rex style .
	11:02am Gary in soflo: killin it today. much love. thank you Trouble, Crew, and all
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo 🎶 birdies.
	♥ 11:03am Handy Haversack: Bagpipe and I are going to head out in the sun and see if it can do anything about my dark cloud. Thanks, Trouble! This was really great. Later on, all.
	11:03am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Enjoy Handy ! <3
	♥ 11:04am Trouble: good luck@handy!! thanks @gary! yes@rich: brand new!
	11:04am Barbie: Just left Rees are open
	11:04am B.: Cherry Blossoms .. Branch Brook Park was my backyard growing up. Truly Breathtaking.
	11:05am davefromtoronto: fellow bird lover here - trouble, what are your faves?
	♥ 11:08am listener 126464: Lived near BBP on N. Belmont in the 80's
	♥ 11:08am Trouble: @davefromtoronto: herons, osprey, cedar waxwing. and you ?
	11:10am Kpx: Alright, chop liver sliding off the plate and into the disposal. ತ_ತ
	♥ 11:10am steveo: the "kanzan" cherries around my neighborhood in Brooklyn (about a mile from the Botanic Garden) are not blooming yet. these seem to be one of the more popular varieties. Hiked Branch Brook and the rest of the Lenape Trail in November. Very interesting.
	11:11am davefromtoronto: all thrushes. cooper's hawk, starlings, goldfinch, ravens.
	♥ 11:13am Andrea: sometimes you feel bad.
	♥ 11:14am Mike W: Handleton! enjoy the sun, it has helped me and my fog-gone-dark cloud today
	♥ 11:14am Mike W: Roger Fakhr laying down the heavy truth
	11:15am tom tom the pipers son: had herons and white egrets in my backyard creek growing up in LI. that same creek would destroy the house i grew up in in hurricane sandy
	♥ 11:16am eºIºk: @126464, I lived near there, off Heller Pkwy., in the 00s and a bit beyond. Occasionally there'd be a flatbed truck with a bunch of cherry blossom trees ready to be implanted in the park so we could stay ahead of D.C.! Some politician had a competition going.
	♥ 11:17am tim from champaign (now washington): I recently learned that there's a Pacific Northwest Crow. SInce I moved to Washington I'd noticed crows a little bit bigger that grackles along side regular sized crows. I finally looked it up and sure enough there's a subspecies of crows. I had no idea.
	♥ 11:18am Jason from Houston: If you folks every find yourselves on the Texas coast in March-May, don't miss the Smith Oaks Rookery on High Island. We went last Friday and it was bonkers. Lots of herons and roseate spoonbills.
	11:19am davefromtoronto: i'm right in the city and there was a peregrine falcon loitering around for a couple of weeks. i could stand right under it and watch it chase the pigeons. amazing!
	♥ 11:20am Jason from Houston: houstonaudubon.org...
	♥ 11:20am Trouble: now for the weirdest song of the day: blue jean queen
	11:20am anders: sounds like it could be dan bejar's uncle
	11:20am wizard frog: who IS that blue jean queen?
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: For Thors'day.
	♥ 11:21am Jason from Houston: Hahahaha!
	♥ 11:21am Joe McG: @Trouble: Weirder than "Me and Mrs. Jones"? :)
	11:21am Micheal: I hope Magnus Thor was his birth name.
	11:21am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...she got a jean goin' on...
	♥ 11:21am tim from champaign (now washington): @Jason - I've always wanted to go to the Texas gulf islands during migration season. And that's not code for spring break either :)
	♥ 11:22am Trouble: mmmmm@joeMcG: maybe not. the blue jean queen has a touch of class and nonchalance
	11:23am wizard frog: hahaha
	♥ 11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): Inspiration for Bowie's Blue Jean maybe?
	♥ 11:24am Little Danny: So great! I love the touches of Sgt. Pepper production.
	♥ 11:25am Carmichael: Heya Trubb and commenters.
	♥ 11:25am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. First record I ever bought.
	♥ 11:26am listener james from westwood: Aw yiss—excellent Elton here!
	11:26am Cynthia: How much do I love Grey Seal? So much.
	♥ 11:26am Trouble: this record probably made me want to be a drummer
	11:26am sphere: The bassist for the Elton John band is still totally underrated.
	♥ 11:27am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): The thing about this record is that it's stylistically all over the place but somehow manages to hang together.
	♥ 11:27am Hubig Pie: P'rolly been about 5 decades since I heard this last
	♥ 11:28am G: One of the best songs (underappreciated) on GYBR. A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with someone on another board (not FMU) who was singing its praises...
	11:28am sphere: Another thing about '70s AOR is that we don't really think about how influential prog was on people like Elton John and Billy Joel.
	11:28am Adrian in London: Half past four in London and I’ve just remembered that it’s Thursday. 🙄 Hello Trouble!
	11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elton just a completely convincing singer. Whereas BillyJoel completely not. Ymmv.
	♥ 11:28am tim from champaign (now washington): I love love love the Grand Royale flexi of Biz Markie singing over Bennie an the Jets.
	11:28am Patster: Love it!!
	11:29am davefromtoronto: poor billy joel gets pushed in front of the bus again!
	♥ 11:30am Jason from Houston: Oh trust, tim from champaign (now washington). It is really wonderful. The Galveston spring break/biker rally/golf cart drunks and the rookery crowd have no overlap. That I know of...
	♥ 11:30am G: @dave: Too popular in the NYC area for here lol
	♥ 11:31am HyperDose: The IT Crowd is essential programming Oh, and back from jab #1. Got the Pfizer flavor, pretty tasty!
	♥ 11:31am tim from champaign (now washington): Trouble! Language!
	♥ 11:32am Jason from Houston: Good news, HyperDose!
	♥ 11:34am tim from champaign (now washington): Way to go Hyperdose! I get my Pfizer #2 on Sunday.
	♥ 11:34am Pale Son: A friend of mine once claimed to have seen a double-bill concert featuring both Elton John AND Billy Joel. Can that be possible? I couldn't get the image of Donald and Daffy Duck in their Roger Rabbit piano-off out of my mind after that.
	♥ 11:34am Carmichael: I'm getting the #2 Pfizer this afternoon. Praying I don't get as sick as my daughter did when she got hers.
	11:34am Toutevoix: ((((((◍))))))
	♥ 11:35am theia: better a little sick than a lot sick or worse, #2 for me comes in 3 weeks can't wait! :)
	♥ 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): @Carmichael - what were your daughter's post shot symptoms?
	♥ 11:36am tim from champaign (now washington): @theia - agreed.
	♥ 11:37am Carmichael: @tim, severe nausea and fever (100.7). She seems better now than Tuesday.
	11:37am davefromtoronto: those 2 guys toured together pale son!
	♥ 11:37am Hubig Pie: BJ and EJ did extensive tandem tours mid90's
	♥ 11:38am HyperDose: Thanks Jason! Hope you'll keep us posted, Tim! @Carmichael I was happy to get this one, from what I've heard it isn't as bad as the Moderna second dose (if you even get any effects). Good luck!
	♥ 11:38am tim from champaign (now washington): @Carmichael - good to know. I'm glad she's feeling better too.
	♥ 11:38am Pale Son: That's crazy, man. Those poor pianos must've taken a real bashing.
	♥ 11:38am Rich in Bristol: I didn't think I would be into birdsong sample music, but Psilosamples has changed me!
	11:38am Toutevoix: Psilosamples LowSounD Ecstaticloops and so on... appreciated
	11:40am JuneBeesMatthews: This music is everything 🙏Thank you

	11:46am davefromtoronto: there's an owl in that recording studio...
	11:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Band On the Run melody in there?
	♥ 11:47am Mike W: @Trouble what’s the second record? Their Bandcamp page only has the South American birds one... maybe i’m caught between two different subjects here though life is so confusing!
	♥ 11:47am Greg from ZONE 5: Putting it on my quarantine to-do list!
