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.

Hi Trouble and troublers. I read a book called “Sex and Broadcasting” 50 years ago. The author espoused the value of non-commercial, free form radio with eclectic playlists covering all genres of music from around the world.

WFMU embodies that principle, especially with shows like this one. I thank the DJs, the staff, Ken Friedman, the chatters, and the listeners that make this station possible.

Handy, that’s usually the case on my block. This morning there were a number of ticketed cars that created problems, and some really stupid drivers who blocked everything up, forcing some of us to move to another block. Very tense for a bit but sorted with apologies all around.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:44am
Glistener MW:

@Avrilinmay -- I highly recommend the "Songbirding" podcast I discovered recently! The host goes for trail walks in different kinds of bird-heavy areas at different times of day and year with a good quality field-mic and records the ambience, and offers minimal discussion of what the birds on that walk are. It hits the perfect balance for me of 90% ambience, 10% educational. ( songbirding.com )

The statement of Malcom X needs to be updated and corrected. Solidarity in Poland did, in fact, bring about a non-violent revolution against a government and political system that was very much willing to use violence. The Tunisia Revolution during the Arab Spring was also non-violent.

I think it's less confusing if you say "EXCITEMENT OF THE SAFETY FROM DEATH."

@KPX I ended up w/Pfizer because that’s what they had but I don’t think there is any true scientifically observable or statistically significant difference between Pfizer and Moderna. Differences noted by commenters are anecdotal. They have the same basis (the tech for a general overall coronavirus vaccine was already being worked on before the pandemic) and are quite similar as I understand it.

Wow, I spent four years teaching preschool in NYC and can only imagine how difficult that would have been from a remote setting. Hang in there, Trouble.
