	9:03am wizard frog: woo!
	9:04am Trouble: good morning modern world!
	9:04am Handy Haversack: Hi, Trouble, Troubled.
	9:04am RB: Morning trouble ....
	9:04am Trouble: i listened to side A of this album 4 times yesterday, and i thought maybe you all would like to do the same
	9:04am listener james from westwood: How do, Trouble and all! Shite sleep for 2 nights, so I'm taking today off to read and pot up houseplant cuttings.
	9:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: good afternoon to Europe, good morning to the usa … hi all.
	9:06am Doug in JC: Good morning
	9:07am TDK60: Bonjour Trouble. Hey!, I know that Josh MacPhee.
	9:08am Sean Fahrrad: Wait, this isn't Toxic
	9:08am DJ Guin: not Toxic..nor Prince...what gives?
	9:09am YETI BOB: Trouble - I haven't heard Priscilla Ermel before, this is fabulous. Might have to buy copy of this, and also that "Electronic And Contemporary Music From Brazil 1978-1992" compilation she's on.
	9:10am lis-boner pasc: Hello hello!!
	9:10am Trouble: YES to both of those @ yeti bob! i own them both and play them constantly
	9:11am TerrDE: Good morning Trouble and troubled trouble makers. When ever a French song is playing, all I understand is that they aren't asking where the library is.
	9:13am Tookie a.k.a Wuthry Guffy: good morning
	9:15am TerrDE: this is excellent , New Agey , but not the melodies a toddler could come up w kind
	9:15am Zinn The Mood: This was just the morning tonic I needed. Had just been ruminating that I live in a part of NYC that pre-pandemic was one of the only spots which hadn’t a pedestrian plaza, has the corniest summer lineup of shitty 80’s cover bands and bad mainstream movies, and its biggest supermarket has an entire wall of frozen pizzas - ugh (for real)! I give thanks for this place all the time. But today it is an especially soothing salve and saving my sanity. Thanks all!
	9:19am YETI BOB: >>> In the liner notes to Outro Tempo—a beguiling and dizzying assemblage of fourteen Brazilian experimental and fusion artists from around the time of that country’s thawing—producer John Gómez remembers happening upon Marco Bosco’s 1983 album Metalmadeira in a British thrift shop and finding a handwritten note within: “Dear Mr. Eno, I would like you to know about our work, we work with tapes and sounds of Nature.”
	9:19am Strandlund: Good morning Trouble...My Thursday is made!
	9:21am Handy Haversack: This is real nice. Thanks, Trouble.
	9:21am jumbo Joslin: Wow. Is this one song since the beginning of the show? It’s beautiful ❤️
	9:23am TerrDE: still lovin this, after Ken's show yesterday, this is fixing my shredded nerves
	9:25am ratso: Hey Trouble, good morning. Nice groove to start the work day with.
	9:26am melinda: hi all!
	9:27am Trouble: not one song: @ jumbo joslin: i played the entire side A of priscilal ermel "origens da luz" followed by this long tiziano popoli song
	9:27am DJ Guin: @melinda - hi! ima try to get some work done. enjoying the tunage, Trouble
	9:27am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and all.
	9:27am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and listeners, last day with students yesterday. What a year! Happy almost summer!
	9:28am ChukAmok: Goodmorning to all the mods and troublemakers out there! Did anyone catch the eclipse this morning?
	9:28am sphere: hello. moved to Northern Virginia from Baltimore. I'm gonna miss the pit beef. :)
	9:29am TerrDE: lots of cool electronic music apps for Android. I love Ethereal Dialpad ,see YouTube, a space music synth and Music Pad which allows you to make 2 to 53 note well tempered scales
	9:30am Zinn The Mood: @yeti love that story. Had woken with insomnia and went back to reading a story about Adrian Belew’s wild ride from Midwest obscurity to hurtling into Zappa’s world, then on to Bowie and to the Talking Heads. Brian Eno, of course, figured in a lot of that trajectory. Great account of it here: musicaficionado.blog...
	9:31am βrian: "Pourriez-vous m'indiquer le chemin à la bibliothèque ?"
	9:33am lis-boner pasc: @TerrDE thanks for mentioning those music apps, I’m getting a little tired of my instruments so will check those out over the weekend. Merci
	9:34am Yes: good morning everyone
	9:38am JT: mine too
	9:38am YETI BOB: ZinnTheMood: Great article - I read it before because I'm a King Crimson fan and part 2 of that article covers Belew's time fronting that band. It's interesting that Belew played on so many other artists' hits, but his own records were never very popular. Kind of like Phil Manzanera. Better player than songwriter, perhaps.
	9:38am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	9:42am David F: Love the show, as usual. Thanks for sharing.
	9:42am TerrDE: lis-boner, if you do check out Music Pad, sweep up and down the lines, not just across to get great rhythms going...E music apps are better for Android because the security delay makes virtual Piano etc unplayable, at least for me
	9:49am Doug in JC: The minimoog app is free on iOS right now for some reason
	9:49am Bill K: Who did the original of Lady Grinning Soul? Can't think of it.I like this version
	9:49am captain beef fart: I caught the eclipse this morning while on a hike. It was a little bit cloudy but still had an eerie change in light. (got my swag too-- along with the Jazz is Dead4/Azymuth I won on Duane Train :)
	9:50am sphere: oooh! minimoog! and hello.
	9:51am TerrDE: Yeti, did you catch the latest King Krimson tour w the 3 drummers ? New singer was ok , if too much aware that he was replacing men he idolised, but the multiple instrumentalist sucked on keys. Bob and Tony were great as always. 3 drummers were maybe too up front in the mix. Tour starts up again soon
	9:52am Zinn The Mood: @yeti Belew had been on my radar with Crimson, Zappa, etc. But his solo stuff in the early 90’s and with The Bears were really great testaments to his strength as a songwriter with a great sense of melody and songwriting craftsmanship. Prior I had mainly thought of him as a hired hand, avant-garde, soundscape artist. That solo record (I think) with “May 1, 1990” on it was revelatory to that regard.
	9:52am Doug in JC: I came to work an hour early to see the eclipse. Caught a glimpse for a minute before the clouds took over
	9:53am TerrDE: Doug, any delay w Apple ? Androids security causes VERY noticible delays w music apps.
	9:54am Doug in JC: No, Terr. Nothing at all. That sounds incredibly frustrating
	9:55am Threemoons: Heyo, getting a super late start to work today. At least I had a nice long shower after a few days of....not.
	9:55am Threemoons: Wait, we had an eclipse? Whut?
	9:56am Doug in JC: Just a partial one, crescent sunrise
	9:56am Threemoons: @Doug Wow!
	9:57am adampsyche: a proper trouble reggae set and now i gotta meeting 🤬
	9:57am TerrDE: thanks Doug, someone gave me an i7, as a registered procrastinator i haven't activated it yet , but now i have a good reason too
	9:57am Trouble: no worries @adampsyche, more reggae later on
	10:01am Zinn The Mood: Eno interviews late anthropologist and author David Graeber: youtu.be... Tells Graeber, one of the protagonists who helped create Occupy Wall St, that as a 14 year old he was out hawking Anarchist newspapers.
	10:03am Handy Haversack: Some good articles on Graeber in the latest issue of Salvage. Not sure if they have been unpaywalled for nonsubscribers yet. salvage.zone...
	10:06am davefromtoronto: that guy's telling you in portugese to not stand under the tree full of birds...
	10:07am TerrDE: did you hear about the guy who learned Spanish because his company was sending him to Brazil ?
	10:10am TDK60: Not surprised TerrDE. Was watching a soccer World Cup with Brazil in the game and the US TV sportscaster said he couldn't pronounce the Spanish names well!
	10:12am Threemoons: Didja folks know that Queens is fielding its own futbol team, along with a women's team? There are actually a ton of local clubs but this one may eventually really go big time: www.queensborofc.com
	10:13am Threemoons: They are even getting their own stadium. I was never much of a sports fan but in the interest of broadening an international outlook I really want to learn more, and seeing a real game in a local stadium sounds nifty.
	10:17am Baja Joe: Hello, and thoroughly entertained, you should know.
	10:18am Trouble: if a person was trying to learn spanish and portugese, what would anyone here recommend as a way to go about it in this modern world?
	10:19am wizard frog: duolingo may not be the most comprehensive but it can be effective at learning the basics quite well I think
	10:19am βrian: A year abroad in RI?
	10:19am lis-boner pasc: @trouble, greeeeeat set! I teach ptgs, I wrote a blog on this which I can’t retrieve but if I find it I’ll contact you thru WFMU and send you details. So many ways that can suit your style of learning. Would be happy to help out as a thank you for this marvellous show x
	10:19am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:21am Threemoons: @Trouble came here to say Duolingo is a great free resource to get started with.
	10:22am Jason from Houston: A reminder that I need to give my friend back her copy of The No Comprendo.
	10:22am Pale Son: Oh my gosh, I always thought this was a Laetitia Sadier song! She covered it on The Trip.
	10:23am Passaic River Blues: @Pale Son: same here. Totally thought it was Sadier.
	10:23am Yes: this is great
	10:23am JT: ditto
	10:25am HyperDose: yawns oh hey, y'all 👽💜
	10:30am headcleaner: bom dia, peoples
	10:37am mb: Bonjour DJ Trouble and morning folks
	10:38am headcleaner: For learning Portuguese, Spanish or any language: to the extent that there is a "magic key" it is that the learning will happen as much as in your body -- and in your muscle memory of interactions with real people out in the modern world -- as in your "mind" (that is, your explicit memory of words and rules and such). This is why techniques based mostly on drilling and memorization (while they will be a part of your greater strategy) -- i.e. what most apps do for you -- have only limited benefit.
	10:38am Hubig Pie: Sabah Al-khair
	10:40am Threemoons: @headcleaner true! Try to read labels, look at simple ads in that language, etc. In any event, I found that Duolingo really helped me polish my conversational German such as it is, after years of just reading it on a page.
	10:42am Threemoons: @headcleaner @Trouble Also, Duolingo is pretty good with idioms and common colloquialisms (ie saying "bis Morgen" when you leave the office as opposed to "gute Nacht"
	10:43am Sarah: Trouble you are my favorite - thanks for the getting work done from home soundtrack today!
	10:43am TerrDE: Headcleaner, interesting. We get a lot of Russian students here in the summer. If you see them in motion, you can tell they're not American
	10:44am DJ Guin: @HyperDose -- nice of you to finally wake up and join the Class
	10:44am Eric Kilkenny: Good mornin' Trouble and fellow listeners
	10:44am Trouble: thank you for listening @ sarah!
	10:45am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Trouble, Duolingo is the best free resource I've tried. I started basic French with a book + CD course called Assimil, but what really helped to make spoken French intelligible was listening to French radio. Most courses teach you formal, well pronounced versions of a language, but that's not usually how they are spoken "on the street"
	10:45am Trouble: obrigada for all the tips, mes amigos!
	10:45am TerrDE: Threemoons, I've always liked Hand Shoes meaning gloves.
	10:46am headcleaner: So I would recommend: (1) don't worry too much about vocabulary or grammar at first. Start with pronunciation. Which also has a lot of "grammar" and little rules to it but the point is you start practicing it with not just your ears and mouth but in fact your vocal chords and breath and posture and facial expressions (which are used in subtley different ways in different parts of the world). And pay attention to the rhythm, melody (or lack thereof) and the arc of intonation across words (how it rises and falls, depending whether you are asking a question, introducing a subject, etc).
	10:48am DJ Guin: I don't speak French. I just wear a beret, smoke filter less cigarettes, and act snooty about wine and cheese. I couldn't fool my own mother on the foolingest day of the year even if I had an electrified foolin' machine.
	10:49am TerrDE: accent and grammar are 2 different parts of the brain. I ve heard Russians who sound like Americans, but couldn't understand a lot of words and vice versa
	10:50am Layet Johnson: Trouble, got your dj premium mix in the mail this week and I LOVE it! Is it 2 sided?
	10:52am Handy Haversack: TerrDE, esp. tree-wool hand shoes.
	10:52am Trouble: @merci@layet johnson! 2 sided? meaning are there 2 cds? is it not long enough? it should be 70 plus minutes. can't remember the exact number...
	10:56am Lisboner Pascal (France): found it! This is a wee blog I wrote about learning Portuguese for anyone interested: danglingfivefeet.wordpress.com...
	10:58am headcleaner: And (2): get out there and talk to real people (who are native speakers of that language... or even a related language) as much as you can. Doesn't matter what you talk about - it can just be ¡Hola!, "Encantado", "Muchas gracias por su ayuda", whatever -- the point is you are connecting with people instead of just doing exercises in your head. And while you're doing so, pay close attention to every sound... what are the "o" and "a" sounds in ¡Hola!, for example? Are they the same as in "No" or "apple"? Where are the stresses (and does there seem to be a general rule for where they usually are in a Spanish word)? What kind of "r" was that "gracias" and was it the same as in "por", etc? And what's with the "c" in gracias and the "d" in Encantado - they sound the same as in English, but are they?
	10:58am Trouble: merci!!! @ lisboner pascal!
	10:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Trouble et al!
	10:58am ChukAmok: Even for a free language learning program Duolingo is still better in quality of language learning than Rosetta Stone (which is pricey, and less than a practical way of picking up a new language).
	10:59am βrian: I got a French Siri for my phone. She understands me! sniff
	11:00am Handy Haversack: Gotta get on a meeting now then out in the car for the last hour. Thanks so much, Trouble. Just wonderful. Hope all are well.
	11:01am Handy Haversack: Is Duolingo only for phones?
	11:02am ChukAmok: Hello Handy! There is desktop Duolingo as well. See you later Handy!
	11:04am Tank Top: Mango Languages through the library. It's free.
	11:04am TerrDE: I lived in Greece years ago. I couldn't speak Greek other than getting the bus to stop, but many Greeks could speak Deutsch due to WWII and migrant labor, so any butchering of accent was forgiven by both of us
	11:04am Handy Haversack: Hey, ChukAmok. Waiting for my meeting interlocutor to show up. It is one of those days. Weeks. Pandemics.
	11:04am Jeezuseffinchrist: I learned growing up in a Borricua neighborhood, so I'd suggest submersion - spend time in spanish-speaking neighborhoods and restaurants. Also programs like duolingo do help
	11:05am Eric Kilkenny: great topic! I need help too :)
	11:06am Yes: thank you, selector trouble
	11:06am βrian: When the birds give you the quiet treatment, you know something's up.
	11:06am Jeezuseffinchrist: s'il tu parles francaise, c'est trop facile apprende l'espagnol aussi
	11:07am TerrDE: the micro chip injection was 20 years ago, now micro drones fly it up your nose directly to your brain
	11:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Recently saw an ad for a language-learning app (thought I'd try to unearth the French I learned all those years ago. Turns out it's game-based. Ugh. Deleted it. Can't remember what it was called.
	11:08am Kayt: if you learn spanish, brazilian portuguese will be relatively quick for you to pick up. dois passaros com uma pedra!
	11:08am ChukAmok: I hear ya Handy. I was able to avoid to Zoom-itization of the workforce during the majority of the pandemic, but the other side of that coin is that my work requires that I be on-site every day (which obviously made exposure to the virus all the more likely)...Never once got sick though!
	11:08am Trouble: j'espere @JEEZUS...
	11:09am Trouble: bom dia @kayt! obrigada!!
	11:09am MrDeb: Totally with you on the need to speak Spanish (I'm in political organizing) and urge to learn. Dreaming about this right now expertvagabond.com...
	11:10am headcleaner: ... the point of all that sweating (initially) over the details of pronunciation is not that you need to be completely perfect at it before you talk to anybody... but once you show people you are at least meeting them half way the doors of communication blow wide open -- people will just start lighting up, telling you their life stories, sharing their musical tastes, inviting you to come visit (that's not typical of course but it does happen). Just for saying "Encantado" in the proper tone of voice.
	11:13am P-90: “The Fourth Profession” (1971) is the classic science fiction story about pills that “teach” a new language to anyone who takes one, almost instantaneously. The guy in the story who is offered one by an alien ambassador to the UN wakes up the next morning with a bit of an information hangover...
	11:14am Jeezuseffinchrist: @kayt yup, I understood that with a basic spanish understanding
	11:16am Trouble: 2 birds with one stone! i got it without google's help!@kayt!!
	11:21am ChukAmok: @headcleaner Very well said.
	11:21am headcleaner: @Threemoons - I agree that rote drilling (whether from apps or other techniques) can definitely give you a leg-up. That was pretty much all we did during my 4 years of HS French, after which my abilities for dealing with the real, spoken language were quite limited. But once I finally hit the streets in Paris (many years later) all of that "Je la lui ai donnée" (and all the other crazy word-ordering rules) came in quite handy. It was just there, ready to slot in.
	11:23am Frank Zaatar: I am currently learning Yiddish on Duolingo and I am finding ti a lot of fun. The only thing is that Duolingo doesn't give you any grammar rules--at least for Yiddish. So I have to find a grammar to read along with it.
	11:24am βrian: I've been binging on Call My Agent. It's a workout reading and listening at the same time.
	11:25am oshiwoshi: We have Annette Peacock and Catherine Ringer in the same set - what would happen if they were in the same room?
	11:25am Trouble: j'aime dix pour cent@ brian!
	11:26am headcleaner: e aí, Lisboner Pascal? Am noting your blog link + share your appreciation of Zeca Afonso - too bad he's not more widely know here on WFMU!
	11:26am Trouble: that would be soooo amazing@oshiwoshi!
	11:27am βrian: @Trouble: Me, too. I found it hard to get started, though. Now I can't stop, of course.
	11:29am βrian: The public school system here has a dual-language immersion program. Admission is by lottery, and Little Human didn't win a slot.
	11:32am Trouble: more jazz greats being talked about at the jersey city library: Hank Mobley, wed june 16 6:30 pm. here's the zoom link tiny.cc/JCFPLJAZZ
	11:36am Kayt: de nada trouble! that was a perfect expression for you and i knew you were bound to get it without translation ;) zeca alfonso is amazing! his voice singing Grandola on the radio pretty much responsible for the manifestation of the carnation revolution. i like verde sao os campos.
	11:36am oshiwoshi: Annette Peacock has done little pre-show talks - so it's entirely possible
	11:40am headcleaner: TerrDE: a Russian tutor helped me get over a major stumbling block to learning that language - that Russian speakers are really saying all the sounds, especially the vowels. Whereas we Americans just kind of let them fall out of our mouthes
	11:41am βrian: Is there such a thing as Mousse au Pamplemousse?
	11:47am tim from washington: Hey Trouble and everyone! thanks for the library programming shout out! I'm busy working and crosswording so I haven't said much. That Bobbi Humphrey was the jam.
	11:47am Fernando P: hi Trouble! I heard earlier about you brazilian student. I glad to know that people are still able to escape from Gilead, I mean, Brazil.
	11:49am headcleaner: βrian: not sure, but Pomplamoose are also a find band to learn French lyrics from
	11:54am YETI BOB: TerrDE: Yes, I saw the "7-headed Beast" version of KC, I thought it was FANTASTIC, I loved the 3 drummers out front (RIP Bill Rieflin) and I actually preferred the Jakko Jakszyk lineup to the Belew years. I was not a fan of the last few records KC did with Belew, and I think Jakko is better suited to the band.
	11:55am headcleaner: @Fernando - sorry to hear that you say that (I take it you're from the RF), though unfortunately I do hear that from Brazilians a lot. But really... "Gilead"? Is it that bad, these days? Nunca estive, mas realmente quero visitar...
	11:55am Passaic River Blues: Haven't heard this Matthew Herbert in at least ten years--still kicks! Thank you, Trouble!
	11:56am βrian: Coming up on the Drummer Stream: Continental Subway with David Dichelle wfmu.org...
	11:56am YETI BOB: Trouble - I always dig Thursday mornings but today was extra-special, thanks.
	11:56am TDK60: Gràcies i ens veiem més tard, Trouble. [Catalan]
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for all your suggestions, and for sitting in today!
	11:59am Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ªʳⁱ૭ªᵗ°♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	4:19pm Michael 98145: Love from Archive Time. ( I see i missed another lively discussion, as well )

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 Trouble: i listened to side A of this album 4 times yesterday, and i thought maybe you all would like to do the same
	9:04am listener james from westwood: How do, Trouble and all! Shite sleep for 2 nights, so I'm taking today off to read and pot up houseplant cuttings.
	9:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: good afternoon to Europe, good morning to the usa … hi all.
	9:06am Doug in JC: Good morning
	9:07am TDK60: Bonjour Trouble. Hey!, I know that Josh MacPhee.
	9:08am Sean Fahrrad: Wait, this isn't Toxic
	9:08am DJ Guin: not Toxic..nor Prince...what gives?
	9:09am YETI BOB: Trouble - I haven't heard Priscilla Ermel before, this is fabulous. Might have to buy copy of this, and also that "Electronic And Contemporary Music From Brazil 1978-1992" compilation she's on.
	9:10am lis-boner pasc: Hello hello!!
	9:10am Trouble: YES to both of those @ yeti bob! i own them both and play them constantly
	9:11am TerrDE: Good morning Trouble and troubled trouble makers. When ever a French song is playing, all I understand is that they aren't asking where the library is.
	9:13am Tookie a.k.a Wuthry Guffy: good morning
	9:15am TerrDE: this is excellent , New Agey , but not the melodies a toddler could come up w kind
	9:15am Zinn The Mood: This was just the morning tonic I needed. Had just been ruminating that I live in a part of NYC that pre-pandemic was one of the only spots which hadn’t a pedestrian plaza, has the corniest summer lineup of shitty 80’s cover bands and bad mainstream movies, and its biggest supermarket has an entire wall of frozen pizzas - ugh (for real)! I give thanks for this place all the time. But today it is an especially soothing salve and saving my sanity. Thanks all!
	9:19am YETI BOB: >>> In the liner notes to Outro Tempo—a beguiling and dizzying assemblage of fourteen Brazilian experimental and fusion artists from around the time of that country’s thawing—producer John Gómez remembers happening upon Marco Bosco’s 1983 album Metalmadeira in a British thrift shop and finding a handwritten note within: “Dear Mr. Eno, I would like you to know about our work, we work with tapes and sounds of Nature.”
	9:19am Strandlund: Good morning Trouble...My Thursday is made!
	9:21am Handy Haversack: This is real nice. Thanks, Trouble.
	9:21am jumbo Joslin: Wow. Is this one song since the beginning of the show? It’s beautiful ❤️
	9:23am TerrDE: still lovin this, after Ken's show yesterday, this is fixing my shredded nerves
	9:25am ratso: Hey Trouble, good morning. Nice groove to start the work day with.
	9:26am melinda: hi all!
	9:27am Trouble: not one song: @ jumbo joslin: i played the entire side A of priscilal ermel "origens da luz" followed by this long tiziano popoli song
	9:27am DJ Guin: @melinda - hi! ima try to get some work done. enjoying the tunage, Trouble
	9:27am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and all.
	9:27am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and listeners, last day with students yesterday. What a year! Happy almost summer!
	9:28am ChukAmok: Goodmorning to all the mods and troublemakers out there! Did anyone catch the eclipse this morning?
	9:28am sphere: hello. moved to Northern Virginia from Baltimore. I'm gonna miss the pit beef. :)
	9:29am TerrDE: lots of cool electronic music apps for Android. I love Ethereal Dialpad ,see YouTube, a space music synth and Music Pad which allows you to make 2 to 53 note well tempered scales
	9:30am Zinn The Mood: @yeti love that story. Had woken with insomnia and went back to reading a story about Adrian Belew’s wild ride from Midwest obscurity to hurtling into Zappa’s world, then on to Bowie and to the Talking Heads. Brian Eno, of course, figured in a lot of that trajectory. Great account of it here: musicaficionado.blog...
	9:31am βrian: "Pourriez-vous m'indiquer le chemin à la bibliothèque ?"
	9:33am lis-boner pasc: @TerrDE thanks for mentioning those music apps, I’m getting a little tired of my instruments so will check those out over the weekend. Merci
	9:34am Yes: good morning everyone
	9:38am JT: mine too
	9:38am YETI BOB: ZinnTheMood: Great article - I read it before because I'm a King Crimson fan and part 2 of that article covers Belew's time fronting that band. It's interesting that Belew played on so many other artists' hits, but his own records were never very popular. Kind of like Phil Manzanera. Better player than songwriter, perhaps.
	9:38am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	9:42am David F: Love the show, as usual. Thanks for sharing.
	9:42am TerrDE: lis-boner, if you do check out Music Pad, sweep up and down the lines, not just across to get great rhythms going...E music apps are better for Android because the security delay makes virtual Piano etc unplayable, at least for me
	9:49am Doug in JC: The minimoog app is free on iOS right now for some reason
	9:49am Bill K: Who did the original of Lady Grinning Soul? Can't think of it.I like this version
	9:49am captain beef fart: I caught the eclipse this morning while on a hike. It was a little bit cloudy but still had an eerie change in light. (got my swag too-- along with the Jazz is Dead4/Azymuth I won on Duane Train :)
	9:50am sphere: oooh! minimoog! and hello.
	9:51am TerrDE: Yeti, did you catch the latest King Krimson tour w the 3 drummers ? New singer was ok , if too much aware that he was replacing men he idolised, but the multiple instrumentalist sucked on keys. Bob and Tony were great as always. 3 drummers were maybe too up front in the mix. Tour starts up again soon
	9:52am Zinn The Mood: @yeti Belew had been on my radar with Crimson, Zappa, etc. But his solo stuff in the early 90’s and with The Bears were really great testaments to his strength as a songwriter with a great sense of melody and songwriting craftsmanship. Prior I had mainly thought of him as a hired hand, avant-garde, soundscape artist. That solo record (I think) with “May 1, 1990” on it was revelatory to that regard.
	9:52am Doug in JC: I came to work an hour early to see the eclipse. Caught a glimpse for a minute before the clouds took over
	9:53am TerrDE: Doug, any delay w Apple ? Androids security causes VERY noticible delays w music apps.
	9:54am Doug in JC: No, Terr. Nothing at all. That sounds incredibly frustrating
	9:55am Threemoons: Heyo, getting a super late start to work today. At least I had a nice long shower after a few days of....not.
	9:55am Threemoons: Wait, we had an eclipse? Whut?
	9:56am Doug in JC: Just a partial one, crescent sunrise
	9:56am Threemoons: @Doug Wow!
	9:57am adampsyche: a proper trouble reggae set and now i gotta meeting 🤬
	9:57am TerrDE: thanks Doug, someone gave me an i7, as a registered procrastinator i haven't activated it yet , but now i have a good reason too
	9:57am Trouble: no worries @adampsyche, more reggae later on
	10:01am Zinn The Mood: Eno interviews late anthropologist and author David Graeber: youtu.be... Tells Graeber, one of the protagonists who helped create Occupy Wall St, that as a 14 year old he was out hawking Anarchist newspapers.
	10:03am Handy Haversack: Some good articles on Graeber in the latest issue of Salvage. Not sure if they have been unpaywalled for nonsubscribers yet. salvage.zone...
	10:06am davefromtoronto: that guy's telling you in portugese to not stand under the tree full of birds...
	10:07am TerrDE: did you hear about the guy who learned Spanish because his company was sending him to Brazil ?
	10:10am TDK60: Not surprised TerrDE. Was watching a soccer World Cup with Brazil in the game and the US TV sportscaster said he couldn't pronounce the Spanish names well!
	10:12am Threemoons: Didja folks know that Queens is fielding its own futbol team, along with a women's team? There are actually a ton of local clubs but this one may eventually really go big time: www.queensborofc.com
	10:13am Threemoons: They are even getting their own stadium. I was never much of a sports fan but in the interest of broadening an international outlook I really want to learn more, and seeing a real game in a local stadium sounds nifty.
	10:17am Baja Joe: Hello, and thoroughly entertained, you should know.
	10:18am Trouble: if a person was trying to learn spanish and portugese, what would anyone here recommend as a way to go about it in this modern world?
	10:19am wizard frog: duolingo may not be the most comprehensive but it can be effective at learning the basics quite well I think
	10:19am βrian: A year abroad in RI?
	10:19am lis-boner pasc: @trouble, greeeeeat set! I teach ptgs, I wrote a blog on this which I can’t retrieve but if I find it I’ll contact you thru WFMU and send you details. So many ways that can suit your style of learning. Would be happy to help out as a thank you for this marvellous show x
	10:19am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:21am Threemoons: @Trouble came here to say Duolingo is a great free resource to get started with.
	10:22am Jason from Houston: A reminder that I need to give my friend back her copy of The No Comprendo.
	10:22am Pale Son: Oh my gosh, I always thought this was a Laetitia Sadier song! She covered it on The Trip.
	10:23am Passaic River Blues: @Pale Son: same here. Totally thought it was Sadier.
	10:23am Yes: this is great
	10:23am JT: ditto
	10:25am HyperDose: yawns oh hey, y'all 👽💜
	10:30am headcleaner: bom dia, peoples
	10:37am mb: Bonjour DJ Trouble and morning folks
	10:38am headcleaner: For learning Portuguese, Spanish or any language: to the extent that there is a "magic key" it is that the learning will happen as much as in your body -- and in your muscle memory of interactions with real people out in the modern world -- as in your "mind" (that is, your explicit memory of words and rules and such). This is why techniques based mostly on drilling and memorization (while they will be a part of your greater strategy) -- i.e. what most apps do for you -- have only limited benefit.
	10:38am Hubig Pie: Sabah Al-khair
	10:40am Threemoons: @headcleaner true! Try to read labels, look at simple ads in that language, etc. In any event, I found that Duolingo really helped me polish my conversational German such as it is, after years of just reading it on a page.
	10:42am Threemoons: @headcleaner @Trouble Also, Duolingo is pretty good with idioms and common colloquialisms (ie saying "bis Morgen" when you leave the office as opposed to "gute Nacht"
	10:43am Sarah: Trouble you are my favorite - thanks for the getting work done from home soundtrack today!
	10:43am TerrDE: Headcleaner, interesting. We get a lot of Russian students here in the summer. If you see them in motion, you can tell they're not American
	10:44am DJ Guin: @HyperDose -- nice of you to finally wake up and join the Class
	10:44am Eric Kilkenny: Good mornin' Trouble and fellow listeners
	10:44am Trouble: thank you for listening @ sarah!
	10:45am Kevin in Ringwood UK: Trouble, Duolingo is the best free resource I've tried. I started basic French with a book + CD course called Assimil, but what really helped to make spoken French intelligible was listening to French radio. Most courses teach you formal, well pronounced versions of a language, but that's not usually how they are spoken "on the street"
	10:45am Trouble: obrigada for all the tips, mes amigos!
	10:45am TerrDE: Threemoons, I've always liked Hand Shoes meaning gloves.
	10:46am headcleaner: So I would recommend: (1) don't worry too much about vocabulary or grammar at first. Start with pronunciation. Which also has a lot of "grammar" and little rules to it but the point is you start practicing it with not just your ears and mouth but in fact your vocal chords and breath and posture and facial expressions (which are used in subtley different ways in different parts of the world). And pay attention to the rhythm, melody (or lack thereof) and the arc of intonation across words (how it rises and falls, depending whether you are asking a question, introducing a subject, etc).
	10:48am DJ Guin: I don't speak French. I just wear a beret, smoke filter less cigarettes, and act snooty about wine and cheese. I couldn't fool my own mother on the foolingest day of the year even if I had an electrified foolin' machine.
	10:49am TerrDE: accent and grammar are 2 different parts of the brain. I ve heard Russians who sound like Americans, but couldn't understand a lot of words and vice versa
	10:50am Layet Johnson: Trouble, got your dj premium mix in the mail this week and I LOVE it! Is it 2 sided?
	10:52am Handy Haversack: TerrDE, esp. tree-wool hand shoes.
	10:52am Trouble: @merci@layet johnson! 2 sided? meaning are there 2 cds? is it not long enough? it should be 70 plus minutes. can't remember the exact number...
	10:56am Lisboner Pascal (France): found it! This is a wee blog I wrote about learning Portuguese for anyone interested: danglingfivefeet.wordpress.com...
	10:58am headcleaner: And (2): get out there and talk to real people (who are native speakers of that language... or even a related language) as much as you can. Doesn't matter what you talk about - it can just be ¡Hola!, "Encantado", "Muchas gracias por su ayuda", whatever -- the point is you are connecting with people instead of just doing exercises in your head. And while you're doing so, pay close attention to every sound... what are the "o" and "a" sounds in ¡Hola!, for example? Are they the same as in "No" or "apple"? Where are the stresses (and does there seem to be a general rule for where they usually are in a Spanish word)? What kind of "r" was that "gracias" and was it the same as in "por", etc? And what's with the "c" in gracias and the "d" in Encantado - they sound the same as in English, but are they?
	10:58am Trouble: merci!!! @ lisboner pascal!
	10:58am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning Trouble et al!
	10:58am ChukAmok: Even for a free language learning program Duolingo is still better in quality of language learning than Rosetta Stone (which is pricey, and less than a practical way of picking up a new language).
	10:59am βrian: I got a French Siri for my phone. She understands me! sniff
	11:00am Handy Haversack: Gotta get on a meeting now then out in the car for the last hour. Thanks so much, Trouble. Just wonderful. Hope all are well.
	11:01am Handy Haversack: Is Duolingo only for phones?
	11:02am ChukAmok: Hello Handy! There is desktop Duolingo as well. See you later Handy!
	11:04am Tank Top: Mango Languages through the library. It's free.
	11:04am TerrDE: I lived in Greece years ago. I couldn't speak Greek other than getting the bus to stop, but many Greeks could speak Deutsch due to WWII and migrant labor, so any butchering of accent was forgiven by both of us
	11:04am Handy Haversack: Hey, ChukAmok. Waiting for my meeting interlocutor to show up. It is one of those days. Weeks. Pandemics.
	11:04am Jeezuseffinchrist: I learned growing up in a Borricua neighborhood, so I'd suggest submersion - spend time in spanish-speaking neighborhoods and restaurants. Also programs like duolingo do help
	11:05am Eric Kilkenny: great topic! I need help too :)
	11:06am Yes: thank you, selector trouble
	11:06am βrian: When the birds give you the quiet treatment, you know something's up.
	11:06am Jeezuseffinchrist: s'il tu parles francaise, c'est trop facile apprende l'espagnol aussi
	11:07am TerrDE: the micro chip injection was 20 years ago, now micro drones fly it up your nose directly to your brain
	11:07am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Recently saw an ad for a language-learning app (thought I'd try to unearth the French I learned all those years ago. Turns out it's game-based. Ugh. Deleted it. Can't remember what it was called.
	11:08am Kayt: if you learn spanish, brazilian portuguese will be relatively quick for you to pick up. dois passaros com uma pedra!
	11:08am ChukAmok: I hear ya Handy. I was able to avoid to Zoom-itization of the workforce during the majority of the pandemic, but the other side of that coin is that my work requires that I be on-site every day (which obviously made exposure to the virus all the more likely)...Never once got sick though!
	11:08am Trouble: j'espere @JEEZUS...
	11:09am Trouble: bom dia @kayt! obrigada!!
	11:09am MrDeb: Totally with you on the need to speak Spanish (I'm in political organizing) and urge to learn. Dreaming about this right now expertvagabond.com...
	11:10am headcleaner: ... the point of all that sweating (initially) over the details of pronunciation is not that you need to be completely perfect at it before you talk to anybody... but once you show people you are at least meeting them half way the doors of communication blow wide open -- people will just start lighting up, telling you their life stories, sharing their musical tastes, inviting you to come visit (that's not typical of course but it does happen). Just for saying "Encantado" in the proper tone of voice.
	11:13am P-90: “The Fourth Profession” (1971) is the classic science fiction story about pills that “teach” a new language to anyone who takes one, almost instantaneously. The guy in the story who is offered one by an alien ambassador to the UN wakes up the next morning with a bit of an information hangover...
	11:14am Jeezuseffinchrist: @kayt yup, I understood that with a basic spanish understanding
	11:16am Trouble: 2 birds with one stone! i got it without google's help!@kayt!!
	11:21am ChukAmok: @headcleaner Very well said.
	11:21am headcleaner: @Threemoons - I agree that rote drilling (whether from apps or other techniques) can definitely give you a leg-up. That was pretty much all we did during my 4 years of HS French, after which my abilities for dealing with the real, spoken language were quite limited. But once I finally hit the streets in Paris (many years later) all of that "Je la lui ai donnée" (and all the other crazy word-ordering rules) came in quite handy. It was just there, ready to slot in.
	11:23am Frank Zaatar: I am currently learning Yiddish on Duolingo and I am finding ti a lot of fun. The only thing is that Duolingo doesn't give you any grammar rules--at least for Yiddish. So I have to find a grammar to read along with it.
	11:24am βrian: I've been binging on Call My Agent. It's a workout reading and listening at the same time.
	11:25am oshiwoshi: We have Annette Peacock and Catherine Ringer in the same set - what would happen if they were in the same room?
	11:25am Trouble: j'aime dix pour cent@ brian!
	11:26am headcleaner: e aí, Lisboner Pascal? Am noting your blog link + share your appreciation of Zeca Afonso - too bad he's not more widely know here on WFMU!
	11:26am Trouble: that would be soooo amazing@oshiwoshi!
	11:27am βrian: @Trouble: Me, too. I found it hard to get started, though. Now I can't stop, of course.
	11:29am βrian: The public school system here has a dual-language immersion program. Admission is by lottery, and Little Human didn't win a slot.
	11:32am Trouble: more jazz greats being talked about at the jersey city library: Hank Mobley, wed june 16 6:30 pm. here's the zoom link tiny.cc/JCFPLJAZZ
	11:36am Kayt: de nada trouble! that was a perfect expression for you and i knew you were bound to get it without translation ;) zeca alfonso is amazing! his voice singing Grandola on the radio pretty much responsible for the manifestation of the carnation revolution. i like verde sao os campos.
	11:36am oshiwoshi: Annette Peacock has done little pre-show talks - so it's entirely possible
	11:40am headcleaner: TerrDE: a Russian tutor helped me get over a major stumbling block to learning that language - that Russian speakers are really saying all the sounds, especially the vowels. Whereas we Americans just kind of let them fall out of our mouthes
	11:41am βrian: Is there such a thing as Mousse au Pamplemousse?
	11:47am tim from washington: Hey Trouble and everyone! thanks for the library programming shout out! I'm busy working and crosswording so I haven't said much. That Bobbi Humphrey was the jam.
	11:47am Fernando P: hi Trouble! I heard earlier about you brazilian student. I glad to know that people are still able to escape from Gilead, I mean, Brazil.
	11:49am headcleaner: βrian: not sure, but Pomplamoose are also a find band to learn French lyrics from
	11:54am YETI BOB: TerrDE: Yes, I saw the "7-headed Beast" version of KC, I thought it was FANTASTIC, I loved the 3 drummers out front (RIP Bill Rieflin) and I actually preferred the Jakko Jakszyk lineup to the Belew years. I was not a fan of the last few records KC did with Belew, and I think Jakko is better suited to the band.
	11:55am headcleaner: @Fernando - sorry to hear that you say that (I take it you're from the RF), though unfortunately I do hear that from Brazilians a lot. But really... "Gilead"? Is it that bad, these days? Nunca estive, mas realmente quero visitar...
	11:55am Passaic River Blues: Haven't heard this Matthew Herbert in at least ten years--still kicks! Thank you, Trouble!
	11:56am βrian: Coming up on the Drummer Stream: Continental Subway with David Dichelle wfmu.org...
	11:56am YETI BOB: Trouble - I always dig Thursday mornings but today was extra-special, thanks.
	11:56am TDK60: Gràcies i ens veiem més tard, Trouble. [Catalan]
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for all your suggestions, and for sitting in today!
	11:59am Jason from Houston: ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡ªʳⁱ૭ªᵗ°♡˖꒰ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅꒱
	4:19pm Michael 98145: Love from Archive Time. ( I see i missed another lively discussion, as well )
