	9:38am AndrewC.: Thanks Trouble, knew we could rely on you for some unusual and interesting Sly & Robbie material
	9:38am DetroitMac: More sad passing news: RIP Lou Brooks, fantastic illustrator.
	9:38am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I love this show. It's helping me cope with the day that I dread above all others: the yearly work self-review. Ugh.
	9:39am TDK60: I'm thinking of Peter Tosh's Equal Rights album and Black Uhuru's Sinsemilla album; bass playing that just knocks me over. Hypnotic, powerful. Etcetera!
	9:41am dale: woodsofnh - just say you'll work on your communication skills and will dedicate more time and focus to the task at hand. those things are always such bee ess.
	9:42am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @dale: Trying to figure out how to positively frame "I'm 60 and only want to work two more years before I pull the rip cord." It's tricky.
	9:43am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Dang, this is a nasty groove.
	9:43am Flint_Jack: what I want to know, woodsofNH, is where you see yourself in 5 years time
	9:43am Handy Haversack: I totally skipped it this year, Woods, and no one has said a thing.
	9:44am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy Oh man, I wish I could. @Flint_Jack...."Not doing this crap!!!" Ha.
	9:45am Flint_Jack: @WoodsofNH, that's what we all hope!
	9:45am karlward: That is masterful use of timing, that guitar coming slightly in and out of time against the rhythm section
	9:45am Webhamster Henry: Grace Jones is great as long as she's not singing Little Drummer Boy littledrummerboychallenge.com.
	9:46am Frank Zaatar: How to explain the wonder that is Grace Jones.
	9:47am dale: i went on an interview once, a small design studio, and before the owner of the place could ask me i asked 'where do you see your company in 5 years?' threw him off guard.
	9:48am Flint_Jack: @Dale -- nice!
	9:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublmakers....
	9:50am NickC: @dale - made a similar move as the company I interviewed at had been in financial papers as not having a steady business model. Interviewer got very indignant and insulted my qualifications. Company went through an absorption and massive restructuring within a year.
	9:51am adampsyche: steppin razor!
	9:51am Handy Haversack: Hey, Threemoons. How's the day?
	9:51am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH exhausting so far...got in over 8 hours of sleep last night and woke up tired...how are the critters at home?
	9:52am listener james from westwood: Steppin' Razor! So that's where William Gibson got that name for Neuromancer.
	9:52am Pale Son: Good morning, people! Joining the party late, we had a big snowstorm last night so lots of shovelling. I love the art today!
	9:53am Phillippe: Good morning! Great song to hear as my first tune of the day! Hey, Handy, James, threemoons!
	9:53am Pale Son: This track is not sounding right, right?
	9:53am adampsyche: that was the nickname for Molly Millions, good stories
	9:54am Pale Son: Oh, maybe it was just my sketchy internet connection...
	9:55am Trouble: etel adnan show at gugg www.guggenheim.org...
	9:55am Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe! All were OK when I left this morning, 3Moons. I'm back in Manhattan, trying to get the routine going again after the disruptions. I'm actually going to meet listener yerfriendpaul for lunch today! We figured out that our office are only a few blocks apart -- right before the pandemic.
	9:56am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH nice!
	9:56am listener james from westwood: "Steppin' Razor. An' you bring a scourge on Babylon, sister, on its darkest heart...."
	9:58am SeanG: BASS!!
	10:02am will from Hampton: Nonstop HEAT. Ty Trouble
	10:05am prudy: Dale and Woods: thanks for the chuckle re work and retirement...
	10:05am StephaniePC: Trouble just perfectly summarized my sleeping experience this week!
	10:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and bird feeders!
	10:09am The Oscar: We lost Lina Wertmuller too (though I imagine Fabio will be paying tribute later today).
	10:11am kevlicki: Morning trouble and all! Recovering from my booster shot today. I made out with just aches and cloudy head, my sweetie not as easy-fevers and aches for her. Taking the day off, from most things, have to check on the chickens and greenhouse at least
	10:12am Handy Haversack: Convaxxulations, kevlicki!
	10:14am dario: hi doing a wood fire turkey the music fits the mood great set
	10:15am TDK60: Good luck both of you, Kevlicki. \| RIP Wertmuller!
	10:18am Arlene: Love the Mazel song!
	10:19am Handy Haversack: The Oscar, Jack Mello is subbing for Fabio today.
	10:20am The Oscar: @Handy Ah! Well, I'm sure we'll hear from him in due time. Oh, yeah.
	10:21am listener james from westwood: Ooh! Mello afternoon ahead!
	10:22am listener james from westwood: @kevlicki I timed all 3 of the days off I took for the shots to Thursday and Friday for the post-shot blahs to at least have some fine end-of-workweek FMU during the recovery. Hope yours and your sweetie's is swift!
	10:25am Mike W.: Cold as usa foreign policy out here in The Field today
	10:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @kevlicki: I had mine on Monday. Took off work Tuesday because I was soooo tired. It was like I had not slept at all. That and a little lower back pain was basically the story.
	10:31am drr: detroitmac: That's a shame. Never knew the name, but very familiar with the work.
	10:33am P-90: Pet Clark ROCKS
	10:38am Mike W.: Thanku DJ
	10:38am Handy Haversack: Mike W., you need to bring your international proletariat blanket with you!
	10:40am Mike W.: Handy, it’s made of hammers and knives and organic cotton, ultramarxist and hygge as fûck
	10:40am Gordon F.: fabulous show this morning, Trouble! thank you!
	10:41am Stephen O: ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
	10:41am CarB: Clapping!!👏👏
	10:42am Son Of Pantz: Who can stand still to this banger?!
	10:42am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Hygge As Fûck is my next band name.
	10:43am listener james from westwood: Had sudden OMD vibes on the keyboard for this Green Child track.
	10:43am Mike W.: one jewish youth group veteran here to say no thank you to that one
	10:43am listener james from westwood: @WoodsOfNH Would fit nicely on a mug!
	10:44am kevlicki: Thanks listener James and Woods! Def feeling the lower back pain thru the night and morning. Feeling pretty good rn! It’s a chance to slow down and get some computer things done…then just veg out on some things I’ve been meaning to watch
	10:44am Mike W.: Woods, it’s yours, I’ve already got doubles of your first 7 inch
	10:45am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I think the last word should have an umlaut. Not sure if that's legal for a non-metal band.
	10:46am Trouble: caitlin keegan did a great artist portrait series, there is a cool Lina in there caitlinkeegan.com...
	10:46am Trouble: gracias @gordon F
	10:48am Handy Haversack: Had to look up Hygge! Seems like I've had the wrong blankets my whole life. Not a shocker.
	10:48am Mike W.: You know I almost umlauted it, and even tapped it out to see how it looked, and I decided, No, not this time, this time my made-up band has a tenty accent
	10:49am Zipperhead7: Hi folks -- joining late. Re: retirement at 62: go for it! I'm sorry I ever worked at all. I could have used that time so much more productively. Great show, BTW . . .
	10:49am Mike W.: And I coined it, so, don’t change the hut hat
	10:50am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy You really need to read The Year of Living Danishly
	10:55am ranjit: we'll never get down to hammond at this rate
	10:56am Hydroplane: Nice to hear this Pastels remix album again :)
	10:56am Mike W.: Kinda just realized I’m standing in a big empty parkfield in suburbia with a dog, then cranked the mighty little speaker that sings me this show
	10:56am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:56am Uhnnohn: Exactly @Ranjit - I thought the record was skipping
	10:57am Hydroplane: @Trouble have you ever heard the band that I am using as my name here? You would probably really love it. The self titled album is incredible ambient indie pop
	10:59am Handy Haversack: Woods: "Danskjävlar!!" Oh, wait, wrong one.
	11:00am Niall: I like this Pastels cut. How late-90s is this?
	11:00am Hydroplane: @Niall remix album from 1998
	11:00am Trouble: @hydroplane: not sure if i have, don't recall that name. i will look them up: thanks!
	11:01am Niall: Hector Z is underrated.
	11:02am Hydroplane: It is the same band essentially as The Cat's Miaow if that helps @Trouble. A Bart Cummings band
	11:02am Niall: @hydroplane - handy! It's like "Airbag" and "OK Computer" have always happened, forever.
	11:03am Mike W.: I am now broadcasting This Is the Modern World to a gaggle of traveling geese who’ve taken a brief sabbatical by the riverbank
	11:06am Layet Johnson: Honk honk, Trouble. Great show today!
	11:06am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Trouble I used to work at Deloitte near WFMU HQ...VERY aggressive Canada geese on the boardwalk. I once saw a Mom with her kid and dog get chased by a hissing grip of them.
	11:06am Mike W.: Pretty sure they are Canadian and YES I think I’ve been seeing them here for a couple weeks now. SHOVE OFF NOW YOU GEESE
	11:07am bbxtina: I’m just here to reiterate that they are indeed terrifying, especially if you get too close to their baby geese children
	11:07am Layet Johnson: That’s wonderful Mike W.!
	11:07am Handy Haversack: I like Canada geese. I share the waters with them quite happily. Maybe because I'm in a canoe and they're Canadian we get along. Game knows game.
	11:08am Pale Son: Canada is ostensibly a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, but really it's the geese that keep us all in line.
	11:08am bbxtina: The ones in Winnipeg were really mean :(
	11:09am Daybreak & the New Week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯: Parents of young kids: My son’s preK-2 grade school had so many Covid cases show up at school that it just changed from quarantining individual classes to going FULLY REMOTE from tomorrow 12/10 - 1/3. Good luck out there!
	11:09am Andres: Their favourite food is TimBiebs.
	11:09am DJ Guin: @Trouble - offhand...who at WFMU handles giveaway tickets? i may not be able to attend a show
	11:11am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	11:12am melinda: The laraaji from the first set was really good. I saw him live in 2019 but have no laraaji in my collection, I should get some.
	11:12am Daybreak & the New Week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯: Didn’t know Feist did feat.(s) with others. Love to hear her voice pop up. Thanks Trouble!
	11:12am ?: @Handy--ha ha ha. Love this. Enjoying the show, really liking this
	11:13am DJ Guin: i emailed Joe McG, but thanks!
	11:13am Marie: I am ?!! @).
	11:14am bbxtina: @Andres that must be the key to cycling thru a patch of geese, you need to throw some snax in another direction
	11:15am Trouble: merci @ layet johnson
	11:16am Andres: Keep a bag of day old bagels handy for that reason. Preferably poppy seed.
	11:17am Peter in SEA: Shoot! Lina Wertmuller!? <3 Riposere en pace! The Seduction of Mimi! Sette Belleze! Swept Away!
	11:20am drr: @DetroitMac: you sent me down a rabbit hole looking for Lou Brooks. Found this great interview from an online magazine. I really wish I had known this guy. www.readersvoice.com...
	11:23am bbxtina: They can have the tinbiebs but they can’t have the bagels
	11:24am Marie: @Andres--does that give the geese a buzz? The poppyseeds? Might it also doom them to failing drug tests?
	11:25am Barney Grubbs: I normally give the geese wide berth, but this spring I was walking the dog and checked out a little spit of land sticking out into Setauket Harbor and must've walked by a well-hidden nest because two geese flew out and were not at all welcoming. Eventually we got past them back to land without incident, but it was pretty frightening to have hissing geese flying at my head.
	11:26am Andres: Heroin addicts they are! JK. Just my personal favourite.
	11:29am skyline chili: Bonjour troubly woubly.
	11:34am Yes: love this jam so much. hi all
	11:36am Marie: love this
	11:37am Niall: When I lived in Chicago, I trained my herding dog to chase the gaggles of Canada geese from the soccer fields and parks near me. Good, good times.
	11:39am listener james from westwood: Geese chased my Bronx-dwelling grandmother up onto a park bench when she visited suburbia for the first time. Like the old cartoons of someone on a chair while plagued by a mouse. A mouse she could've handled!
	11:41am Andres: We send you our geese. You send us Jimmy Fallon. It seems like a fair exchange.
	11:45am Casey: What was the song that played about 20 minutes ago that sampled “Hammond song” by the roches?
	11:46am skyline chili: Up until 4 years ago I seen baby geese for the first time, I had no idea that they were yellow. They even look old enough to have some feathers but they didn't, they were just big fuzzy yellow baby geese
	11:46am Mike W: Back inside, safe from gëese! @Trouble, i try to avoid doing this, but there’s a record i want to recommend — to anyone of course — a secular but seasonal-vibing chimey ambient album (jesus, can you believe i used to write about music full-time, what were words...)
	11:47am Mike W: it’s this: gatemm.bandcamp.com...
	11:48am Mike W: Gate, aka Michael Morley of the Dead C, an album he released late last year that I just learned of. Amazing. I sleep to it, I wake to it, I daydream to it...
	11:49am Greg from ZONE 5: Stood up like a meerkat when I heard that Art Blakey sample!
	11:52am beavo: RIP Robbie Shakespeare
	11:53am annette: @skyline. actually when geese are newly hatched, they are GREEN.
	11:54am headcleaner: nice work, Trouble - brought my head into a better place
	11:56am radioronan: Thank you Trouble!
	11:56am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning!see you next week with david suisman!
	11:56am Andres: Sad news about Robbie. He brought lots of joy.
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Thank you, Trouble! Lovely show today. Later on, O Troubled Ones. Avoid the geese -- they are not what they seem!
	11:58am annette: OMG. Lina W. has left us. i really encourage all to absorbe her art.
	11:59am Jason from Houston: Work is crazy town but I got to listen a little bit. Thank you, Trouble. ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	12:00pm Marie: Thanks, Trubs!
	12:00pm happymaan: This is not the first time you've said Pachyman and I thought you were talking about me.

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.

	9:34am riley: Good morning. Asheville NC still frosty at 9:30.
	9:35am Hydroplane: What was the question about Fahey?
	9:36am Hydroplane: Yeah RIP Greg Tate
	9:36am P-90: He was 68.
	9:37am P-90: (Robbie)
	9:38am AndrewC.: Thanks Trouble, knew we could rely on you for some unusual and interesting Sly & Robbie material
	9:38am DetroitMac: More sad passing news: RIP Lou Brooks, fantastic illustrator.
	9:38am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I love this show. It's helping me cope with the day that I dread above all others: the yearly work self-review. Ugh.
	9:39am TDK60: I'm thinking of Peter Tosh's Equal Rights album and Black Uhuru's Sinsemilla album; bass playing that just knocks me over. Hypnotic, powerful. Etcetera!
	9:41am dale: woodsofnh - just say you'll work on your communication skills and will dedicate more time and focus to the task at hand. those things are always such bee ess.
	9:42am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @dale: Trying to figure out how to positively frame "I'm 60 and only want to work two more years before I pull the rip cord." It's tricky.
	9:43am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Dang, this is a nasty groove.
	9:43am Flint_Jack: what I want to know, woodsofNH, is where you see yourself in 5 years time
	9:43am Handy Haversack: I totally skipped it this year, Woods, and no one has said a thing.
	9:44am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy Oh man, I wish I could. @Flint_Jack...."Not doing this crap!!!" Ha.
	9:45am Flint_Jack: @WoodsofNH, that's what we all hope!
	9:45am karlward: That is masterful use of timing, that guitar coming slightly in and out of time against the rhythm section
	9:45am Webhamster Henry: Grace Jones is great as long as she's not singing Little Drummer Boy littledrummerboychallenge.com.
	9:46am Frank Zaatar: How to explain the wonder that is Grace Jones.
	9:47am dale: i went on an interview once, a small design studio, and before the owner of the place could ask me i asked 'where do you see your company in 5 years?' threw him off guard.
	9:48am Flint_Jack: @Dale -- nice!
	9:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublmakers....
	9:50am NickC: @dale - made a similar move as the company I interviewed at had been in financial papers as not having a steady business model. Interviewer got very indignant and insulted my qualifications. Company went through an absorption and massive restructuring within a year.
	9:51am adampsyche: steppin razor!
	9:51am Handy Haversack: Hey, Threemoons. How's the day?
	9:51am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH exhausting so far...got in over 8 hours of sleep last night and woke up tired...how are the critters at home?
	9:52am listener james from westwood: Steppin' Razor! So that's where William Gibson got that name for Neuromancer.
	9:52am Pale Son: Good morning, people! Joining the party late, we had a big snowstorm last night so lots of shovelling. I love the art today!
	9:53am Phillippe: Good morning! Great song to hear as my first tune of the day! Hey, Handy, James, threemoons!
	9:53am Pale Son: This track is not sounding right, right?
	9:53am adampsyche: that was the nickname for Molly Millions, good stories
	9:54am Pale Son: Oh, maybe it was just my sketchy internet connection...
	9:55am Trouble: etel adnan show at gugg www.guggenheim.org...
	9:55am Handy Haversack: Hey, Phillippe! All were OK when I left this morning, 3Moons. I'm back in Manhattan, trying to get the routine going again after the disruptions. I'm actually going to meet listener yerfriendpaul for lunch today! We figured out that our office are only a few blocks apart -- right before the pandemic.
	9:56am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH nice!
	9:56am listener james from westwood: "Steppin' Razor. An' you bring a scourge on Babylon, sister, on its darkest heart...."
	9:58am SeanG: BASS!!
	10:02am will from Hampton: Nonstop HEAT. Ty Trouble
	10:05am prudy: Dale and Woods: thanks for the chuckle re work and retirement...
	10:05am StephaniePC: Trouble just perfectly summarized my sleeping experience this week!
	10:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and bird feeders!
	10:09am The Oscar: We lost Lina Wertmuller too (though I imagine Fabio will be paying tribute later today).
	10:11am kevlicki: Morning trouble and all! Recovering from my booster shot today. I made out with just aches and cloudy head, my sweetie not as easy-fevers and aches for her. Taking the day off, from most things, have to check on the chickens and greenhouse at least
	10:12am Handy Haversack: Convaxxulations, kevlicki!
	10:14am dario: hi doing a wood fire turkey the music fits the mood great set
	10:15am TDK60: Good luck both of you, Kevlicki. \| RIP Wertmuller!
	10:18am Arlene: Love the Mazel song!
	10:19am Handy Haversack: The Oscar, Jack Mello is subbing for Fabio today.
	10:20am The Oscar: @Handy Ah! Well, I'm sure we'll hear from him in due time. Oh, yeah.
	10:21am listener james from westwood: Ooh! Mello afternoon ahead!
	10:22am listener james from westwood: @kevlicki I timed all 3 of the days off I took for the shots to Thursday and Friday for the post-shot blahs to at least have some fine end-of-workweek FMU during the recovery. Hope yours and your sweetie's is swift!
	10:25am Mike W.: Cold as usa foreign policy out here in The Field today
	10:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @kevlicki: I had mine on Monday. Took off work Tuesday because I was soooo tired. It was like I had not slept at all. That and a little lower back pain was basically the story.
	10:31am drr: detroitmac: That's a shame. Never knew the name, but very familiar with the work.
	10:33am P-90: Pet Clark ROCKS
	10:38am Mike W.: Thanku DJ
	10:38am Handy Haversack: Mike W., you need to bring your international proletariat blanket with you!
	10:40am Mike W.: Handy, it’s made of hammers and knives and organic cotton, ultramarxist and hygge as fûck
	10:40am Gordon F.: fabulous show this morning, Trouble! thank you!
	10:41am Stephen O: ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
	10:41am CarB: Clapping!!👏👏
	10:42am Son Of Pantz: Who can stand still to this banger?!
	10:42am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Hygge As Fûck is my next band name.
	10:43am listener james from westwood: Had sudden OMD vibes on the keyboard for this Green Child track.
	10:43am Mike W.: one jewish youth group veteran here to say no thank you to that one
	10:43am listener james from westwood: @WoodsOfNH Would fit nicely on a mug!
	10:44am kevlicki: Thanks listener James and Woods! Def feeling the lower back pain thru the night and morning. Feeling pretty good rn! It’s a chance to slow down and get some computer things done…then just veg out on some things I’ve been meaning to watch
	10:44am Mike W.: Woods, it’s yours, I’ve already got doubles of your first 7 inch
	10:45am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I think the last word should have an umlaut. Not sure if that's legal for a non-metal band.
	10:46am Trouble: caitlin keegan did a great artist portrait series, there is a cool Lina in there caitlinkeegan.com...
	10:46am Trouble: gracias @gordon F
	10:48am Handy Haversack: Had to look up Hygge! Seems like I've had the wrong blankets my whole life. Not a shocker.
	10:48am Mike W.: You know I almost umlauted it, and even tapped it out to see how it looked, and I decided, No, not this time, this time my made-up band has a tenty accent
	10:49am Zipperhead7: Hi folks -- joining late. Re: retirement at 62: go for it! I'm sorry I ever worked at all. I could have used that time so much more productively. Great show, BTW . . .
	10:49am Mike W.: And I coined it, so, don’t change the hut hat
	10:50am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy You really need to read The Year of Living Danishly
	10:55am ranjit: we'll never get down to hammond at this rate
	10:56am Hydroplane: Nice to hear this Pastels remix album again :)
	10:56am Mike W.: Kinda just realized I’m standing in a big empty parkfield in suburbia with a dog, then cranked the mighty little speaker that sings me this show
	10:56am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:56am Uhnnohn: Exactly @Ranjit - I thought the record was skipping
	10:57am Hydroplane: @Trouble have you ever heard the band that I am using as my name here? You would probably really love it. The self titled album is incredible ambient indie pop
	10:59am Handy Haversack: Woods: "Danskjävlar!!" Oh, wait, wrong one.
	11:00am Niall: I like this Pastels cut. How late-90s is this?
	11:00am Hydroplane: @Niall remix album from 1998
	11:00am Trouble: @hydroplane: not sure if i have, don't recall that name. i will look them up: thanks!
	11:01am Niall: Hector Z is underrated.
	11:02am Hydroplane: It is the same band essentially as The Cat's Miaow if that helps @Trouble. A Bart Cummings band
	11:02am Niall: @hydroplane - handy! It's like "Airbag" and "OK Computer" have always happened, forever.
	11:03am Mike W.: I am now broadcasting This Is the Modern World to a gaggle of traveling geese who’ve taken a brief sabbatical by the riverbank
	11:06am Layet Johnson: Honk honk, Trouble. Great show today!
	11:06am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Trouble I used to work at Deloitte near WFMU HQ...VERY aggressive Canada geese on the boardwalk. I once saw a Mom with her kid and dog get chased by a hissing grip of them.
	11:06am Mike W.: Pretty sure they are Canadian and YES I think I’ve been seeing them here for a couple weeks now. SHOVE OFF NOW YOU GEESE
	11:07am bbxtina: I’m just here to reiterate that they are indeed terrifying, especially if you get too close to their baby geese children
	11:07am Layet Johnson: That’s wonderful Mike W.!
	11:07am Handy Haversack: I like Canada geese. I share the waters with them quite happily. Maybe because I'm in a canoe and they're Canadian we get along. Game knows game.
	11:08am Pale Son: Canada is ostensibly a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, but really it's the geese that keep us all in line.
	11:08am bbxtina: The ones in Winnipeg were really mean :(
	11:09am Daybreak & the New Week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯: Parents of young kids: My son’s preK-2 grade school had so many Covid cases show up at school that it just changed from quarantining individual classes to going FULLY REMOTE from tomorrow 12/10 - 1/3. Good luck out there!
	11:09am Andres: Their favourite food is TimBiebs.
	11:09am DJ Guin: @Trouble - offhand...who at WFMU handles giveaway tickets? i may not be able to attend a show
	11:11am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	11:12am melinda: The laraaji from the first set was really good. I saw him live in 2019 but have no laraaji in my collection, I should get some.
	11:12am Daybreak & the New Week ¯\_(ツ)_/¯: Didn’t know Feist did feat.(s) with others. Love to hear her voice pop up. Thanks Trouble!
	11:12am ?: @Handy--ha ha ha. Love this. Enjoying the show, really liking this
	11:13am DJ Guin: i emailed Joe McG, but thanks!
	11:13am Marie: I am ?!! @).
	11:14am bbxtina: @Andres that must be the key to cycling thru a patch of geese, you need to throw some snax in another direction
	11:15am Trouble: merci @ layet johnson
	11:16am Andres: Keep a bag of day old bagels handy for that reason. Preferably poppy seed.
	11:17am Peter in SEA: Shoot! Lina Wertmuller!? <3 Riposere en pace! The Seduction of Mimi! Sette Belleze! Swept Away!
	11:20am drr: @DetroitMac: you sent me down a rabbit hole looking for Lou Brooks. Found this great interview from an online magazine. I really wish I had known this guy. www.readersvoice.com...
	11:23am bbxtina: They can have the tinbiebs but they can’t have the bagels
	11:24am Marie: @Andres--does that give the geese a buzz? The poppyseeds? Might it also doom them to failing drug tests?
	11:25am Barney Grubbs: I normally give the geese wide berth, but this spring I was walking the dog and checked out a little spit of land sticking out into Setauket Harbor and must've walked by a well-hidden nest because two geese flew out and were not at all welcoming. Eventually we got past them back to land without incident, but it was pretty frightening to have hissing geese flying at my head.
	11:26am Andres: Heroin addicts they are! JK. Just my personal favourite.
	11:29am skyline chili: Bonjour troubly woubly.
	11:34am Yes: love this jam so much. hi all
	11:36am Marie: love this
	11:37am Niall: When I lived in Chicago, I trained my herding dog to chase the gaggles of Canada geese from the soccer fields and parks near me. Good, good times.
	11:39am listener james from westwood: Geese chased my Bronx-dwelling grandmother up onto a park bench when she visited suburbia for the first time. Like the old cartoons of someone on a chair while plagued by a mouse. A mouse she could've handled!
	11:41am Andres: We send you our geese. You send us Jimmy Fallon. It seems like a fair exchange.
	11:45am Casey: What was the song that played about 20 minutes ago that sampled “Hammond song” by the roches?
	11:46am skyline chili: Up until 4 years ago I seen baby geese for the first time, I had no idea that they were yellow. They even look old enough to have some feathers but they didn't, they were just big fuzzy yellow baby geese
	11:46am Mike W: Back inside, safe from gëese! @Trouble, i try to avoid doing this, but there’s a record i want to recommend — to anyone of course — a secular but seasonal-vibing chimey ambient album (jesus, can you believe i used to write about music full-time, what were words...)
	11:47am Mike W: it’s this: gatemm.bandcamp.com...
	11:48am Mike W: Gate, aka Michael Morley of the Dead C, an album he released late last year that I just learned of. Amazing. I sleep to it, I wake to it, I daydream to it...
	11:49am Greg from ZONE 5: Stood up like a meerkat when I heard that Art Blakey sample!
	11:52am beavo: RIP Robbie Shakespeare
	11:53am annette: @skyline. actually when geese are newly hatched, they are GREEN.
	11:54am headcleaner: nice work, Trouble - brought my head into a better place
	11:56am radioronan: Thank you Trouble!
	11:56am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning!see you next week with david suisman!
	11:56am Andres: Sad news about Robbie. He brought lots of joy.
	11:57am Handy Haversack: Thank you, Trouble! Lovely show today. Later on, O Troubled Ones. Avoid the geese -- they are not what they seem!
	11:58am annette: OMG. Lina W. has left us. i really encourage all to absorbe her art.
	11:59am Jason from Houston: Work is crazy town but I got to listen a little bit. Thank you, Trouble. ꒰｡• ◡ •｡꒱
	12:00pm Marie: Thanks, Trubs!
	12:00pm happymaan: This is not the first time you've said Pachyman and I thought you were talking about me.
