	9:24am TDK60: Good morning, DJ Trouble, all.
	9:25am tak: hello
	9:28am Dances with Moomins: Lovely sounds for a grey afternoon in Turku. Our temps are higher ( hovering around freezing) and snow is wetter than you'all seem to have on the eastern seaboard.
	9:28am listener james from westwood: Not too early in the show to clicky-fave this whole dang episode!
	9:30am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Dances with Moomins: is there a special word for wet snow? listener james from westwood: excellent idea! make it a double
	9:30am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): tak: looking relaxed there
	9:30am Irene: Agreed, listened james!
	9:32am tak: rip rip rip rip wonderful woman
	9:32am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): TDK60kins! great to see you, as always
	9:32am headcleaner: bom dia, meus bens
	9:33am StringOFperils: My security blanket of sound.
	9:33am TDK60: Brazilian musics fans: WFMU Drummer Stream show Bodega Pop did a special on Elza Soares last night. \| Also, I like Neil Young more than before, now. And thank you.
	9:33am Andres: Good morning! Agreeing with the positive assessments of the wonderful selections thus far!
	9:34am Andres: We have some words for wet snow. Wet snow that needs to be shovelled. Choice words.
	9:35am karlward: I was Troubled, then I was not, now I am Troubling
	9:35am tak: thanks for the heads up tdk, i never know what's going on the other streams
	9:40am tak: (she did a movie recently "My Name is Now" quite good I think)
	9:41am Passaic River Blues: @TDK60: thank for the tip, and in full agreement as to that fiery Canadian people are talking about more and more.
	9:42am Smurph: Loving the history lesson along with the music today!
	9:43am David: This both incredibly sad, upsetting and inspiring!
	9:45am minkwest: Good morning all!
	9:46am Dances with Moomins: Hei Mx. Baba Bee ( e/they) nothing exotic. Sade = rain and this is decribed as lumisade ( snow rain) At the moment it's big ole fat flakes falling ( don't know a special word for that either)
	9:47am Listener Robert: Where you see formations of trees as shown in the Paul Nash are disused rail lines that've neither been converted to trails nor sold off as entities. So you have a narrow right of way between cleared fields, and the right of way is overgrown to the point of eventually, trees.
	9:48am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): if this don't warm ya up, ya better check the vitals…
	9:48am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): DWM: thanks, always curious to learn new words!
	9:48am TDK60: Baba! It's early (by my calculations) in the Bay.
	9:49am karlward: Jammer!
	9:49am karlward: Except instead of guitars it is a vocal jammer
	9:50am Will the Sound Guy: Listener Robert, many times when rr right of ways are sold or donated, there are typically clauses that say they can be reclaimed for reuse if needed.
	9:51am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): TDK60: Yes, I woke up wayyyy early today Andres: words you can't say on the radio? hmmm
	9:51am Passaic River Blues: I loved Soares' 2018 album "Deus é Mulher," which I'm sure I heard here first. Very, very creative and delivering a powerful message. A great review: "Deus é Mulher is a bible for transgression, a manifesto for activism addressed to the oppressed minorities of Brazil and anywhere else. This anti-reactionary time bomb should be placed into the hands of anyone who has the courage to fight." pan-african-music.com...
	9:54am Passaic River Blues: A translation taken from the same review of a verse from "Dentro de Cada Um", a song in which Soares "confronts both patriarchy, sexism and homophobia": "[The woman] will come out in everyone of us The woman will come out And will come out from anyone The woman is you. [The woman will come out] Of the boldness of those already been beaten up, Of the suitcase of the guy who destroyed you and filled you with pain Of the girl who suffered so much and died without a lair Of the hurting boy who did not find a way out."
	9:55am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): PRB: right on!
	9:55am HyperDose: This is the vibe
	9:57am TDK60: Thanks for the info. posting, Passaic.
	9:58am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I actually could not resist getting up and dancing!
	9:58am tak: a true poet. can't say much more
	10:00am Andres: Mx. Baba Bee: Too busy freezing to muster the words. ;) I hope it’s a little cozier down by the Bay.
	10:01am HyperDose: @MxBB Are you wearing your mendiant hat?
	10:03am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): HyperDose: if I was, it flew off!
	10:05am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Andres, as a west coaster, I am uninitiated in the ways of living with snow of any kind…but unfamiliar with central heating or air conditioning
	10:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and the troubled kind. That was a nice set!
	10:06am Trouble: link to bodega pop's show all about elza : wfmu.org...
	10:06am Handy Haversack: Wonderful set, Trouble. Thanks for that.
	10:07am rx scabin: Hello.
	10:08am TDK60: Gary's show is great. One of the WFMU shows that is often a world musics-oriented one.
	10:09am Andres: A great tribute. Thanks for the introduction to Elza Soares.
	10:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Heat pump is fighting against the 4 degree temps. May have to switch from the cashmere watch cap to the Mongolian wool.
	10:14am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): thanks for that link to the Bodega tribute to Elza—will be steeping in that gorgeousness later!
	10:18am Handy Haversack: The Baba Bee Tea is going to be strong today!
	10:19am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all. Sleepy start today for me personally, loving this music to ease into things.
	10:26am listener james from westwood: Dig this "Thank You" track and how it can be imagined as delivered through gritted teeth.
	10:28am morphe': Missed the Soares' set ... TG for the archives !!!! https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jan/27/elza-soares-obituary
	10:28am Stinky: Thanks Jah.
	10:29am listener james from westwood: @Handy—You asked me about the Conscious Style Guide the other day. Turns out its creator, Karen Yin, just got a book deal to write a whole text on it to complement the online resource! So something to look forward to.
	10:29am Mike W.: This puts me in mind of that DJ Hell track “This Is for You,” vocal by Melissa Logan
	10:33am rx scabin: Superb beat matching, Trouble.
	10:34am Handy Haversack: Ah, cool, James! That's great news!
	10:35am Trouble: merci @ rx scabin. that is some serious luck on my part, since i have zero idea how dance dj's do it.
	10:35am steveo: good morning; someone left the radio on a commercial station so i was slightly surprised that when i asked myself "i wonder what Trouble is up to" the answer appeared to be Bad by M Jackson (nothing is ever out of the question, but....)
	10:36am Yes: morning all
	10:36am steveo: also, the food co-op was a zo-o
	10:36am karlward: That is how you skip the light fantastic
	10:38am karlward: These CD skips are my ja ja j j j j j j am
	10:38am jake: Trouble is on fire this morning <3
	10:38am Handy Haversack: Snow panic, steve-o?
	10:39am karlward: My question is how I heard those CD skips on a 12". Was that the stream? Was it a 12" CD? Am I becoming unstuck in time again?
	10:41am rx scabin: Mirror ball activated.
	10:41am steveo: probably!
	10:42am steveo: Ha-ndy!
	10:42am Stanley: Yup that ol' hi-energy we all know and, er, love. Big hello to Trouble and listeners
	10:42am Trouble: @karlward: not cd skips it was a remix
	10:43am Andrew Waterloo: I just watched Blue Man Group performing this Donna Summer song.
	10:44am steveo: 4 MJ Bad plays on the FMU advanced search (50% were also remixes [not a skip])
	10:45am Mike W.: This song could be presaging a tragic death in Act 3.
	10:46am eva: hello! enjoying the solo dance party.
	10:46am Handy Haversack: Afternoon, Stanley. People better not be buying up all the ziti and mozzarella, steveo. I got PLANS!
	10:47am rx scabin: Love Material!
	10:49am karlward: I predict snow-panic-triggered shortages of electro clash, better stock up
	10:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Favorite Material record: Hallucination Engine. Deeeeeep grooves on that one.
	10:53am Jason from Houston: You can borrow my Chicks on Sleet CD, karlward.
	10:56am rx scabin: My cat, Hugo, loves this.
	10:56am garlic lover: This set rocks my socks thus far
	10:56am steveo: Looovve this Seyyid & Mylid HH, tbh, you may have to compromise on pasta shape
	10:56am garlic lover: Chicks on speed?
	10:57am listener 126464: Chambacú!
	10:58am morphe': HH - looked up the writer ya mentioned the other day - David Keenan .. he is interestingly all over the map in a great way. I normally read an author's work chronologically, I might start with his # 2 - "a thriller -goof on the IRA..." "...the Gordon Burn prize winner" For the Good Times", dealt with betrayal among IRA footsoldiers in 70s Belfast; Perry Como was their soundtrack."
	10:59am steveo: 1976
	11:00am steveo: (wrong, 77)
	11:00am bradford: can't say i saw this coming...
	11:00am listener james from westwood: Aaaaaaa, I was just thinking of my Columbia House Steve Miller greatest hits disc earlier today and how that was a late-80s/early-90s instant-party mix at college get-togethers!
	11:00am prudy: oh boy...
	11:00am steveo: FLAE was 76
	11:00am morphe': New Pasta shape 2021: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/get-lost-sauce-and-sink-your-teeth-new-pasta-shape-cascatelli-180977399/
	11:00am Handy Haversack: steveo, have your family been at the radio again?
	11:00am sphere: Que?
	11:01am listener james from westwood: The big ?: will this be the WCBS 101.1 mix or the Drummer Stream mix w/r/t a certain word?
	11:01am Fuzzy: Bingo Jed Had A Light On!
	11:01am Roger: kick out the jams, Trouble!
	11:01am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): OH MY GAWD SOMETHING POPULAR IT CAN'T BE TRUE OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:01am steveo: no, it's been tough for us with school in
	11:02am mndave: Didn't think I needed to hear this until I did right now
	11:02am Andres: ¡¡¡ !!!
	11:02am eva: snowed in . waffles, french toast, or pancakes ?
	11:02am sphere: there's a song after this. and after this. and after
	11:02am Roger: I used to think he was singing "They're gonna tear that line out" why?
	11:02am dave wuz here: i wuz just party to some funky shit going down in the city
	11:03am Stanley: Got any Eagles?
	11:03am Hughie Considine: Bingo, Jed and Lionel!
	11:03am Mick: Is Steve Miller ok? Should I be searching obits?
	11:03am Therese: Trouble, I am in awe of you getting from Bronski Beat to the Steve Miller Band in 4 moves.
	11:03am steveo: damn i wanted hear him say shit
	11:03am bradford: dump button
	11:03am Andres: eva: Bacon.
	11:03am Frank Verplanck: Laughed out loud. Radio edit and all.
	11:03am Roger: kicks
	11:04am oshiwoshi: nice harmonies <3
	11:04am Hughie Considine: He lives on jungle love.
	11:04am listener james from westwood: Honestly better than the mealymouth radio edit TBH!
	11:04am sphere: All I've heard in Pop News is the Barry Manilow got serenaded by a conga line of hipsters in a NYC hotspot.
	11:04am Strandlund: The Horror...The Horror!!
	11:04am unpopularfred: thank you FCC for protecting me from the brown word
	11:05am listener james from westwood: Never thought I'd miss air travel and all its impedimenta until this carminaburanavirus shit.
	11:05am listener james from westwood: Sorry, "carminaburanavirus KICKS."
	11:05am Handy Haversack: Strandlund, you're responding to what sphere said, right? Last jet airliner I was on was ... summer 2019?
	11:06am Hughie Considine: The original Jet Airliner by Paul Pena is pretty stupendous. www.youtube.com...
	11:07am sphere: Of course the original Jet Airliner would be better. It HAS to be better.
	11:07am listener james from westwood: April 2018, for my last flight. To Chicago. Glad it was to somewhere I dug!
	11:08am Strandlund: @Handy...Both...the conga line and the Steve Miller Band!
	11:11am morphe': Mad-JFK Last Tuesday - empty around me - no one in front, no one on the sides, one person behind .. all tested Neg, all vouch Vaxed??? and all masks, no duct tape freaks...
	11:11am rx scabin: When we had a mock election in grade 7 in my small very conservative town, I voted for Shirley Chisholm.
	11:12am morphe': What was the 10 year film in the making just mentioned by Trouble???
	11:12am listener james from westwood: Carter carried over Ford in my first-grade mock election. The voting booth was a fridge box.
	11:13am Handy Haversack: morph, that pasta shape looks good! I don't know how you do it, morph. The police-state intrusive securitization of air travel before the pandemic and all the stress crazies it evoked in people already required that I steel my nerves to the utmost to get on planes. In this brave new world? The mind, it quails.
	11:13am steveo: at least Paul Pena got paid (right?)
	11:13am Carmichael: That's because Jimmy Carter says Heya Trubb.
	11:14am Dee cee: Shirley Chisholm…friend of the serviceman…any Vietnam era GI knows her…she helped everyone regardless of district….great person…
	11:14am Carmichael: Says yes.
	11:15am Susan & Bryan: mercury actually goes direct next Thursday. xo
	11:17am Pale Son: Came for the Steve Miller, stayed for the oud.
	11:19am morphe': HH - I used to get heavy scrutiny for bringing Meds and school supplies to Cuba .. I have not had a hassle in Covid - almost the opposite .. few people flying and me so regular ... I'm actually on catty speaking terms with security. Wrote a complimentary letter to TSA about a lovely TSA guy at JFK I meet quite often (TER 7)and I elbow bump an undercover (Iberia or State?) in MAD who oversees the secondary security check for US flights.... Crazy world !!!
	11:19am listener james from westwood: Big oud jet airliner…
	11:20am steveo: lol jfw
	11:20am Marie: Hey, digging the show.
	11:21am morphe': Trouble -What was the 10 year film in the making you mentioned??
	11:21am lazy pierogi: <333
	11:22am sphere: Not a fan of HUAC, the Vietnam Wr, right-wing fear of Commies, or Ronnie, but the Russian flavor of Communism was straight-up authoritarianism of the worst sort. Ask North Korea.
	11:22am Trouble: it's not out yet @ morphe. presently regina king is making a film about shirley chisholm.
	11:22am Marie: The right is constantly making up things to scare people and keep the current economic status quo--now it's CRT--they don't want people to understand the history of racism here and why things are the way they are
	11:22am listener james from westwood: The utter enduring accuracy of Davis's point here.
	11:23am evancuts: Small world. My mother in law was Shirley Chisolm's speechwriter. chisholmproject.com...
	11:23am Handy Haversack: WORD, James.
	11:23am rx scabin: G-d bless freeform radio.
	11:23am listener james from westwood: @Marie: YES. They have jack shit to offer as a party so they need to keep creating demons.
	11:23am Trouble: @evancuts: wowowoza!!
	11:24am Marie: At its heart, racism, fear of communism, etc., is wanting to hold onto money and power
	11:24am river: thought this was wbai lol (as in oops guess I accidentally tuned to wbai, guess I'll keep listening!)
	11:24am Marie: Hey James!
	11:24am Passaic River Blues: @evancuts: Really?! Mother-in-law has an impressive resume!
	11:24am Ochre Ogre: Hi Trouble!
	11:24am sphere: @ Listener James - Yep. Especially since Putin has infiltrated the GOP. Now we have Tucker Carlson rooting for the invasion of Ukraine.
	11:25am Jack: Angela Davis forever. Thank you.
	11:25am river: thanks for sharing that clip of angela davis, trouble
	11:25am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Jumping in to say amazing clip from Angela Davis. Is there a URL to the full speech?
	11:25am Carmichael: Personally, I am rooting for the invasion of Tucker Carlson.
	11:25am listener james from westwood: Imagining what a Goldwater or a Buckley Jr. would do if they saw today's right paying such obesiance to Putin and writing off Ukraine and they'd likely shit themselves inside-out.
	11:26am minkwest: <3 Angela Davis
	11:26am Trouble: angela davis: always on point!
	11:26am listener james from westwood: (Though Goldwater and Buckley were irredeemably putrid nonetheless.)
	11:27am Handy Haversack: Unrelated to anything, but I just came across this passage from Leonora Carrington's "What Is a Woman" essay and am sharing it because Leonora Carrington is awesome: "Am I that which I observe or that which observes me?. . . If I am my thoughts, then I could be anything from chicken soup to a pair of scissors, a crocodile, a corpse, a leopard or a pint of beer. If I am my feelings, then I am love, hate, irritation, boredom, happiness, pride, humility, pain, pleasure, and so on and so forth. If I am my body, then I am a foetus to a middle-aged woman changing every second. Yet, like everybody else I yearn for an identity although this yearning mystifies me always. If there is a true individual identity I would like to find it, because like truth on discovery it has already gone"
	11:27am Trouble: some of you might be interested in this convo between angela davis and toni morrison: www.filmsforaction.org...
	11:27am Ochre Ogre: listener james- @ 11:23 INDEED!
	11:27am Glistener MW: interesting new direction here for Guided By Voices! 🤔
	11:28am Marie: It's amazing how much a person's name can tell you sometimes--Newt Gingrich, Tucker Carlson...
	11:28am karlward: What if we found out that GBV had also been releasing albums at their breakneck pace, but in every genre, simultaneously?
	11:28am Mick: Thanks for playing that Angela Davis fragment. Prof. Zinn hipped me to her lo those many years ago. Happy Birthday to her!!!!
	11:28am Passaic River Blues: @Listener James a la Westwood: something tells me Goldwater and Buckley would gladly trade a little treason for an iron grip on power (especially since the Russian state has evolved from a Communist threat to a global sponsor of revanchist rightwing authoritarianism).
	11:28am Trouble: @threemoons it is from a cd of a speech that angela gave at colorado college may 5 1997
	11:28am morphe': Last Poets/Pop Group" "... racism and greed keep the people in need.. for a few dollars more they'll start a war.. The people don't get any in the land of the plenty because E pluribus unum means one out of many..."
	11:31am Passaic River Blues: @Listener James: also, I started reading Rick Perlstein's "Before the Storm" book about Goldwater, but got sidetracked by Xochitl Gonzalez's excellent "Olga Dies Dreaming." So far, Perlstein is killing it: archive.org...
	11:31am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: My wife studied history and has a masters degree and is from Poland. Ukrainians sided with Germany during the war. Ukranians killed "rich Poles" in their country during WWII. Ukrain joining NATO would be like Russia putting troops along the border of TX, NM and California. Russia is massing troops along the Ukranian Border because we are threatening them and they wish to prevent an invasion. I saw a mainstream TV show (it might have been 60 minutes) where people in Eastern Ukrain were saying they are basically Russian anyway. In the color revolution in Ukrain we installed a pro-US president during their astroturf "maidan revolution". Why poke the Russian bear?Why not trade with them instead?Why not trade with Iran? No, lets engage in ad hominem attacks on right wing targets instead of addressing the issues instead....
	11:31am minkwest: Didn't even recognize that GBV.
	11:31am sphere: I have looked into Communism and I was totally unimpressed. People forget how closely Communism was integrated with Soviet politics. The American party line was for Hitler until Gemany invaded and it promptly did a 180 against Hitler. The Soviet Politburo was officially in charge of all Communist organizations. When a guy named Browder tried to Americanize Communism, he got booted out of the Party. The only path as a Communist was becoming like the Soviet Union, authoritarianism and all. Americans embraced Communism not for what stood for, but as an alternative to capitalism and America's sins.
	11:32am Handy Haversack: karlward, I am excited for their next Peruvian pan flute release.
	11:32am Ochre Ogre: Thought that GBV was Jah Wobble for a minute.
	11:32am karlward: Not even GBV can make me listen to pan flute, I have been to Times Square, I never need to hear pan flute music again
	11:32am Glorious Estephonic: 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
	11:32am Passaic River Blues: @WildNeil: thank you for injecting Putin's POV into the discussion.
	11:33am Peter in SEA: Bon jour @Trouble, great news about Lonnie Holley! Late to the show this morning will re-listen in archives! Greetings fellow Thursday people!
	11:33am karlward: "Everywhere With Amplified Pan Flute," I just threw up a little bit typing that
	11:33am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: PRB-its actually a WESTERN point of view from POLAND. YHou're welcome.
	11:34am Handy Haversack: I will meet you on the 1 train platform at 42nd Street for some aversion therapy, karlward. Bring dollars!
	11:35am Passaic River Blues: @WildNeil: And, not surprisingly, it's EXACTLY Putin's line, which ignores his endless aggression.
	11:36am robin: loving the show, thank you trouble!
	11:37am marcel: it is instructive to look at how ukraine and ukranians have fared since the fall of the soviet union
	11:39am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: PRB-you fail to recognize the US starting shit all over the world, including with Russia. We install puppets in a LOT of countries. We should TRADE with most of these countries and all make a pile of money. Are you proposing we REFORM RUSSIA? Lets pull the plank out of our own eyes before we pull the mote of dust out of Putin's. Yes, lets poke the Russian bear endlessly and see where that gets us. Ukrain makes Mexico look like freaking Switzerland in comparison. I visited Lwow(Lviv) and they don't have reliable running water in their landmark Opera House. Russia is primitive and backward also in some respects, but listen to Marcel. I think he might have a good point.
	11:41am marcel: found this thing interesting. www.theguardian.com... generally i'm happy that there is more and more serious study of everyday life in really existing socialism with all its upsides and downsides, and it's not just being vilified anymore. see also this www.nytimes.com...
	11:41am Megaroni: Let’s usher in The Chinese New Year Trouble! Water Tiger Year will be great
	11:41am marcel: anyway not really here to discuss politics haha, i just couldnt resist. love helado negro!!
	11:41am rx scabin: I am a Helado Negro fan as well. All of his work is fabulous.
	11:43am morphe': A joke told by a well respected anti-communist Prof at Hunter, CUNY 1979?: people on a crowded Moscow metro.. a man reading Pravda gives a chuckle. The man next to him asks "Comrade, what is funny?" The man says "It says here 'The Bear' will eat America, but here, the Bear eats us." The other man says,"That is a funny comparison. I ask you, you see that man over there? What is the difference between that man and yerself?" The guy says "I don't know..." The other man says, "That man is going home to his wife and children - YOU"RE COMING WITH ME...."
	11:43am Cal in Dothan: So sad when I have to miss Trouble. Glad to at least catch the finale. Happy Thursday everybody!
	11:45am Sprattus Sprattus: I feel today's show went around the world... if not twice
	11:46am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Ask a Pole about Socialism sometime for some real life examples. You needed a licence to raise or own a pig. If your pig gave birth, you must register THOSE pigs also... The EU in its infinite wisdom has reinstated this insanity. A LOT of our allies in NATO are NOT willing to go to the Ukraine because they realize the insanity of doing so.
	11:46am Marie: Seems to me that if Ukraine wants to join Nato, it should be able to, and Russia should accept that it is no longer the power it used to be. Putin is a totally corrupt psycho and head of a corrupt oligarchy.
	11:46am Passaic River Blues: @Wild Neil: I hear your defense of Putin and disagree with it, and saying "The US is BAD, too" is hardly a meaningful argument save to distract. As to who "started it," who invaded Crimea in 2014? Poke the Russian bear? We are bending over backwards to avoid active conflict while Putin constantly raises the temperature. It would also be instructive to look at how Russians have fared since the fall of the Soviet Union. As to trade with vile despotic states, don't worry! We already do that, all the time, every day. (Although I find your inclusion of Iran curious as it is the GOP that is dead set on stymying any progress in that area.)
	11:47am Zipperhead7: Zip comin' in late this morning. Cranked up the car to come home from doctor's office and caught Angela Davis! Yowza! Also noted that the missus put one of those Joe Biden "I Did That" stickers (she ripped off a gas pump) so it was pointing straight at 91.1 FM. Nice!
	11:47am X: Royskopp to the rescue! Swedes do it best. Thx Trouble.
	11:48am Handy Haversack: morph, looks like For the Good Times wasn't published in the States? Can't find it at the Strand or Powell's. Did you look at the NYPL yet?
	11:49am Handy Haversack: Dang, NYPL has one physical copy, and it's "use in library." What are they scared of?!
	11:50am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: PRB I am hardly an apologist for Putin. He is an evil ex KGB agent for crying out loud. However, like a broken clock being right at least twice a day sometimes Putin has A POINT or two. I assure you, the RIGHT is NOT infatuated with Putin. However, our country is so messed up in THIS particular instance IS the point. WE are the bad guys. We have strayed so far from our founding fathers that we cannot even see it anymore. It hurts me criticizing my own country more than you know, but we are PLAYING WITH FIRE and I don't want millions of innocent people to get BURNED in a nuclear fire. THAT is my point. Even JFK pulled the Jupiter missiles out of Turkey to appease Russia right after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Hopefully, Biden will wake up before its too late....
	11:51am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Sorry Trouble, I am DONE before you kick me out...
	11:52am morphe': HH - just getting acclimatized = literally ... food shopping and freezing ... but I'll check NYPL today... I saw a quote from the book where a unit come back to the safe house from a botched operation and the Unit Commander says:"THE IRA WOULD BE A POWERFUL FORCE IF IT WASN'T FOR THE IRISH." I'll be in touch...
	11:52am Marcel: The Russians indeed also haven’t done too great, especially under Yelzin, which is why putin‘s popularity is still unbroken as he was able to at least stop the free fall. He is a product of the west in a way
	11:53am Ochre Ogre: Wild Neil- Yeah agree to some extent. The war hawks of the US can be terroristic at times, bomb Baghdad just because, several reasons. Look at Afghanistan now.
	11:54am Mike W: I don’t think the U.S. right-wingers/standard GOP are obsessed with Putin, I think they and Putin are obsessed with the same things, money and power, and have realized that working together to an extent helps both achieve goals.
	11:54am morphe': Thanks Trouble and all ... so many years on and Angela Davis still inspires thought !!!!!!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Great show, Trouble, thanks! If we have to go to hell before we (BEAT) get to heaven, glad to be doing it in such fine company and with such a great soundtrack! Stay Troubled, everyone.
	11:56am rx scabin: Thank you, Trouble (intuitive beat matcher). A fine show as always. Bandcamp sees a lot of me because of you.
	11:57am Passaic River Blues: @Wild Neil: You're not an apologist for Putin, you are merely adopting his position. What's so weird is you are acting as if Putin doesn't have any agency in this matter, like he has no choice but to continue his war against Ukraine. Our government has telegraphed that we are not going to participate in an active war because it would be an absolute atrocity for all involved. Putin doesn't care; he must distract from his failures and preserve regional hegemony no matter the cost. @Mike W: the right loves Putin because he hates gays, immigrants, democratic governance and vaunts traditional hierarchy. The Russian state also funds right wing movements.
	11:57am Ochre Ogre: Merci Trouble, stay well! Peace all
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for tuning in. hope you are warm!
	11:57am Alicja Uleeshuh: Enjoying the show!!! ☺👍
	11:57am minkwest: Thanks Trouble!
	11:58am Marie: Let's all remember that Russia is not a democracy at all and I know I would never want to live in such a country. Also, I don't think Putin IS that popular--hence the silencing/killing of all his viable replacements
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. The tunes this morning warmed me up nicely. Let's hope the snow this weekend isn't too disruptive!
	11:58am Listener Gregory: I heard the whole show today without making a single comment. (I don't count this one.) New record!! Thanks, Trouble.
	11:58am radioronan: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Phillippe: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am listener 126464: Fantastic program, thanks Trouble.
	11:59am StringOFperils: Peace to all. Thanks, Trouble!
	11:59am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Thanks Trouble, sorry for hijacking your forum.
	11:59am sphere: thanks trouble.
	12:00pm Michael 98145: On to the Year of the Tiger
	12:00pm alanr: wow.... politics gets heavy today! I'm with "the USA is always up to no good with an interventionist/invasion record that none can beat!!" camp. Nice soundtrack for this discussion, Trouble. Bring on the snowstorm!!
	12:00pm P-90: Thanks Trouble!

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.

	9:28am listener james from westwood: Not too early in the show to clicky-fave this whole dang episode!

	9:43am David: This both incredibly sad, upsetting and inspiring!
	9:45am minkwest: Good morning all!
	9:46am Dances with Moomins: Hei Mx. Baba Bee ( e/they) nothing exotic. Sade = rain and this is decribed as lumisade ( snow rain) At the moment it's big ole fat flakes falling ( don't know a special word for that either)
	9:47am Listener Robert: Where you see formations of trees as shown in the Paul Nash are disused rail lines that've neither been converted to trails nor sold off as entities. So you have a narrow right of way between cleared fields, and the right of way is overgrown to the point of eventually, trees.
	9:48am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): if this don't warm ya up, ya better check the vitals…
	9:48am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): DWM: thanks, always curious to learn new words!
	9:48am TDK60: Baba! It's early (by my calculations) in the Bay.
	9:49am karlward: Jammer!
	9:49am karlward: Except instead of guitars it is a vocal jammer
	9:50am Will the Sound Guy: Listener Robert, many times when rr right of ways are sold or donated, there are typically clauses that say they can be reclaimed for reuse if needed.
	9:51am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): TDK60: Yes, I woke up wayyyy early today Andres: words you can't say on the radio? hmmm
	9:51am Passaic River Blues: I loved Soares' 2018 album "Deus é Mulher," which I'm sure I heard here first. Very, very creative and delivering a powerful message. A great review: "Deus é Mulher is a bible for transgression, a manifesto for activism addressed to the oppressed minorities of Brazil and anywhere else. This anti-reactionary time bomb should be placed into the hands of anyone who has the courage to fight." pan-african-music.com...
	9:54am Passaic River Blues: A translation taken from the same review of a verse from "Dentro de Cada Um", a song in which Soares "confronts both patriarchy, sexism and homophobia": "[The woman] will come out in everyone of us The woman will come out And will come out from anyone The woman is you. [The woman will come out] Of the boldness of those already been beaten up, Of the suitcase of the guy who destroyed you and filled you with pain Of the girl who suffered so much and died without a lair Of the hurting boy who did not find a way out."
	9:55am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): PRB: right on!
	9:55am HyperDose: This is the vibe
	9:57am TDK60: Thanks for the info. posting, Passaic.
	9:58am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I actually could not resist getting up and dancing!
	9:58am tak: a true poet. can't say much more
	10:00am Andres: Mx. Baba Bee: Too busy freezing to muster the words. ;) I hope it’s a little cozier down by the Bay.
	10:01am HyperDose: @MxBB Are you wearing your mendiant hat?
	10:03am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): HyperDose: if I was, it flew off!
	10:05am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Andres, as a west coaster, I am uninitiated in the ways of living with snow of any kind…but unfamiliar with central heating or air conditioning
	10:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and the troubled kind. That was a nice set!
	10:06am Trouble: link to bodega pop's show all about elza : wfmu.org...
	10:06am Handy Haversack: Wonderful set, Trouble. Thanks for that.
	10:07am rx scabin: Hello.
	10:08am TDK60: Gary's show is great. One of the WFMU shows that is often a world musics-oriented one.
	10:09am Andres: A great tribute. Thanks for the introduction to Elza Soares.
	10:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Heat pump is fighting against the 4 degree temps. May have to switch from the cashmere watch cap to the Mongolian wool.
	10:14am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): thanks for that link to the Bodega tribute to Elza—will be steeping in that gorgeousness later!
	10:18am Handy Haversack: The Baba Bee Tea is going to be strong today!
	10:19am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all. Sleepy start today for me personally, loving this music to ease into things.
	10:26am listener james from westwood: Dig this "Thank You" track and how it can be imagined as delivered through gritted teeth.
	10:28am morphe': Missed the Soares' set ... TG for the archives !!!! https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jan/27/elza-soares-obituary
	10:28am Stinky: Thanks Jah.
	10:29am listener james from westwood: @Handy—You asked me about the Conscious Style Guide the other day. Turns out its creator, Karen Yin, just got a book deal to write a whole text on it to complement the online resource! So something to look forward to.
	10:29am Mike W.: This puts me in mind of that DJ Hell track “This Is for You,” vocal by Melissa Logan
	10:33am rx scabin: Superb beat matching, Trouble.
	10:34am Handy Haversack: Ah, cool, James! That's great news!
	10:35am Trouble: merci @ rx scabin. that is some serious luck on my part, since i have zero idea how dance dj's do it.
	10:35am steveo: good morning; someone left the radio on a commercial station so i was slightly surprised that when i asked myself "i wonder what Trouble is up to" the answer appeared to be Bad by M Jackson (nothing is ever out of the question, but....)
	10:36am Yes: morning all
	10:36am steveo: also, the food co-op was a zo-o
	10:36am karlward: That is how you skip the light fantastic
	10:38am karlward: These CD skips are my ja ja j j j j j j am
	10:38am jake: Trouble is on fire this morning <3
	10:38am Handy Haversack: Snow panic, steve-o?
	10:39am karlward: My question is how I heard those CD skips on a 12". Was that the stream? Was it a 12" CD? Am I becoming unstuck in time again?
	10:41am rx scabin: Mirror ball activated.
	10:41am steveo: probably!
	10:42am steveo: Ha-ndy!
	10:42am Stanley: Yup that ol' hi-energy we all know and, er, love. Big hello to Trouble and listeners
	10:42am Trouble: @karlward: not cd skips it was a remix
	10:43am Andrew Waterloo: I just watched Blue Man Group performing this Donna Summer song.
	10:44am steveo: 4 MJ Bad plays on the FMU advanced search (50% were also remixes [not a skip])
	10:45am Mike W.: This song could be presaging a tragic death in Act 3.
	10:46am eva: hello! enjoying the solo dance party.
	10:46am Handy Haversack: Afternoon, Stanley. People better not be buying up all the ziti and mozzarella, steveo. I got PLANS!
	10:47am rx scabin: Love Material!
	10:49am karlward: I predict snow-panic-triggered shortages of electro clash, better stock up
	10:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Favorite Material record: Hallucination Engine. Deeeeeep grooves on that one.
	10:53am Jason from Houston: You can borrow my Chicks on Sleet CD, karlward.
	10:56am rx scabin: My cat, Hugo, loves this.
	10:56am garlic lover: This set rocks my socks thus far
	10:56am steveo: Looovve this Seyyid & Mylid HH, tbh, you may have to compromise on pasta shape
	10:56am garlic lover: Chicks on speed?
	10:57am listener 126464: Chambacú!
	10:58am morphe': HH - looked up the writer ya mentioned the other day - David Keenan .. he is interestingly all over the map in a great way. I normally read an author's work chronologically, I might start with his # 2 - "a thriller -goof on the IRA..." "...the Gordon Burn prize winner" For the Good Times", dealt with betrayal among IRA footsoldiers in 70s Belfast; Perry Como was their soundtrack."
	10:59am steveo: 1976
	11:00am steveo: (wrong, 77)
	11:00am bradford: can't say i saw this coming...
	11:00am listener james from westwood: Aaaaaaa, I was just thinking of my Columbia House Steve Miller greatest hits disc earlier today and how that was a late-80s/early-90s instant-party mix at college get-togethers!
	11:00am prudy: oh boy...
	11:00am steveo: FLAE was 76
	11:00am morphe': New Pasta shape 2021: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/get-lost-sauce-and-sink-your-teeth-new-pasta-shape-cascatelli-180977399/
	11:00am Handy Haversack: steveo, have your family been at the radio again?
	11:00am sphere: Que?
	11:01am listener james from westwood: The big ?: will this be the WCBS 101.1 mix or the Drummer Stream mix w/r/t a certain word?
	11:01am Fuzzy: Bingo Jed Had A Light On!
	11:01am Roger: kick out the jams, Trouble!
	11:01am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): OH MY GAWD SOMETHING POPULAR IT CAN'T BE TRUE OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:01am steveo: no, it's been tough for us with school in
	11:02am mndave: Didn't think I needed to hear this until I did right now

	11:03am Hughie Considine: Bingo, Jed and Lionel!
	11:03am Mick: Is Steve Miller ok? Should I be searching obits?
	11:03am Therese: Trouble, I am in awe of you getting from Bronski Beat to the Steve Miller Band in 4 moves.
	11:03am steveo: damn i wanted hear him say shit
	11:03am bradford: dump button
	11:03am Andres: eva: Bacon.
	11:03am Frank Verplanck: Laughed out loud. Radio edit and all.
	11:03am Roger: kicks
	11:04am oshiwoshi: nice harmonies <3
	11:04am Hughie Considine: He lives on jungle love.
	11:04am listener james from westwood: Honestly better than the mealymouth radio edit TBH!
	11:04am sphere: All I've heard in Pop News is the Barry Manilow got serenaded by a conga line of hipsters in a NYC hotspot.
	11:04am Strandlund: The Horror...The Horror!!
	11:04am unpopularfred: thank you FCC for protecting me from the brown word
	11:05am listener james from westwood: Never thought I'd miss air travel and all its impedimenta until this carminaburanavirus shit.
	11:05am listener james from westwood: Sorry, "carminaburanavirus KICKS."
	11:05am Handy Haversack: Strandlund, you're responding to what sphere said, right? Last jet airliner I was on was ... summer 2019?
	11:06am Hughie Considine: The original Jet Airliner by Paul Pena is pretty stupendous. www.youtube.com...
	11:07am sphere: Of course the original Jet Airliner would be better. It HAS to be better.
	11:07am listener james from westwood: April 2018, for my last flight. To Chicago. Glad it was to somewhere I dug!
	11:08am Strandlund: @Handy...Both...the conga line and the Steve Miller Band!
	11:11am morphe': Mad-JFK Last Tuesday - empty around me - no one in front, no one on the sides, one person behind .. all tested Neg, all vouch Vaxed??? and all masks, no duct tape freaks...
	11:11am rx scabin: When we had a mock election in grade 7 in my small very conservative town, I voted for Shirley Chisholm.
	11:12am morphe': What was the 10 year film in the making just mentioned by Trouble???
	11:12am listener james from westwood: Carter carried over Ford in my first-grade mock election. The voting booth was a fridge box.
	11:13am Handy Haversack: morph, that pasta shape looks good! I don't know how you do it, morph. The police-state intrusive securitization of air travel before the pandemic and all the stress crazies it evoked in people already required that I steel my nerves to the utmost to get on planes. In this brave new world? The mind, it quails.
	11:13am steveo: at least Paul Pena got paid (right?)
	11:13am Carmichael: That's because Jimmy Carter says Heya Trubb.
	11:14am Dee cee: Shirley Chisholm…friend of the serviceman…any Vietnam era GI knows her…she helped everyone regardless of district….great person…
	11:14am Carmichael: Says yes.
	11:15am Susan & Bryan: mercury actually goes direct next Thursday. xo
	11:17am Pale Son: Came for the Steve Miller, stayed for the oud.
	11:19am morphe': HH - I used to get heavy scrutiny for bringing Meds and school supplies to Cuba .. I have not had a hassle in Covid - almost the opposite .. few people flying and me so regular ... I'm actually on catty speaking terms with security. Wrote a complimentary letter to TSA about a lovely TSA guy at JFK I meet quite often (TER 7)and I elbow bump an undercover (Iberia or State?) in MAD who oversees the secondary security check for US flights.... Crazy world !!!
	11:19am listener james from westwood: Big oud jet airliner…
	11:20am steveo: lol jfw
	11:20am Marie: Hey, digging the show.
	11:21am morphe': Trouble -What was the 10 year film in the making you mentioned??
	11:21am lazy pierogi: <333
	11:22am sphere: Not a fan of HUAC, the Vietnam Wr, right-wing fear of Commies, or Ronnie, but the Russian flavor of Communism was straight-up authoritarianism of the worst sort. Ask North Korea.
	11:22am Trouble: it's not out yet @ morphe. presently regina king is making a film about shirley chisholm.
	11:22am Marie: The right is constantly making up things to scare people and keep the current economic status quo--now it's CRT--they don't want people to understand the history of racism here and why things are the way they are
	11:22am listener james from westwood: The utter enduring accuracy of Davis's point here.
	11:23am evancuts: Small world. My mother in law was Shirley Chisolm's speechwriter. chisholmproject.com...
	11:23am Handy Haversack: WORD, James.
	11:23am rx scabin: G-d bless freeform radio.
	11:23am listener james from westwood: @Marie: YES. They have jack shit to offer as a party so they need to keep creating demons.
	11:23am Trouble: @evancuts: wowowoza!!
	11:24am Marie: At its heart, racism, fear of communism, etc., is wanting to hold onto money and power
	11:24am river: thought this was wbai lol (as in oops guess I accidentally tuned to wbai, guess I'll keep listening!)
	11:24am Marie: Hey James!
	11:24am Passaic River Blues: @evancuts: Really?! Mother-in-law has an impressive resume!
	11:24am Ochre Ogre: Hi Trouble!
	11:24am sphere: @ Listener James - Yep. Especially since Putin has infiltrated the GOP. Now we have Tucker Carlson rooting for the invasion of Ukraine.
	11:25am Jack: Angela Davis forever. Thank you.
	11:25am river: thanks for sharing that clip of angela davis, trouble
	11:25am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Jumping in to say amazing clip from Angela Davis. Is there a URL to the full speech?
	11:25am Carmichael: Personally, I am rooting for the invasion of Tucker Carlson.
	11:25am listener james from westwood: Imagining what a Goldwater or a Buckley Jr. would do if they saw today's right paying such obesiance to Putin and writing off Ukraine and they'd likely shit themselves inside-out.
	11:26am minkwest: <3 Angela Davis
	11:26am Trouble: angela davis: always on point!
	11:26am listener james from westwood: (Though Goldwater and Buckley were irredeemably putrid nonetheless.)
	11:27am Handy Haversack: Unrelated to anything, but I just came across this passage from Leonora Carrington's "What Is a Woman" essay and am sharing it because Leonora Carrington is awesome: "Am I that which I observe or that which observes me?. . . If I am my thoughts, then I could be anything from chicken soup to a pair of scissors, a crocodile, a corpse, a leopard or a pint of beer. If I am my feelings, then I am love, hate, irritation, boredom, happiness, pride, humility, pain, pleasure, and so on and so forth. If I am my body, then I am a foetus to a middle-aged woman changing every second. Yet, like everybody else I yearn for an identity although this yearning mystifies me always. If there is a true individual identity I would like to find it, because like truth on discovery it has already gone"
	11:27am Trouble: some of you might be interested in this convo between angela davis and toni morrison: www.filmsforaction.org...
	11:27am Ochre Ogre: listener james- @ 11:23 INDEED!
	11:27am Glistener MW: interesting new direction here for Guided By Voices! 🤔
	11:28am Marie: It's amazing how much a person's name can tell you sometimes--Newt Gingrich, Tucker Carlson...
	11:28am karlward: What if we found out that GBV had also been releasing albums at their breakneck pace, but in every genre, simultaneously?
	11:28am Mick: Thanks for playing that Angela Davis fragment. Prof. Zinn hipped me to her lo those many years ago. Happy Birthday to her!!!!
	11:28am Passaic River Blues: @Listener James a la Westwood: something tells me Goldwater and Buckley would gladly trade a little treason for an iron grip on power (especially since the Russian state has evolved from a Communist threat to a global sponsor of revanchist rightwing authoritarianism).
	11:28am Trouble: @threemoons it is from a cd of a speech that angela gave at colorado college may 5 1997
	11:28am morphe': Last Poets/Pop Group" "... racism and greed keep the people in need.. for a few dollars more they'll start a war.. The people don't get any in the land of the plenty because E pluribus unum means one out of many..."
	11:31am Passaic River Blues: @Listener James: also, I started reading Rick Perlstein's "Before the Storm" book about Goldwater, but got sidetracked by Xochitl Gonzalez's excellent "Olga Dies Dreaming." So far, Perlstein is killing it: archive.org...
	11:31am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: My wife studied history and has a masters degree and is from Poland. Ukrainians sided with Germany during the war. Ukranians killed "rich Poles" in their country during WWII. Ukrain joining NATO would be like Russia putting troops along the border of TX, NM and California. Russia is massing troops along the Ukranian Border because we are threatening them and they wish to prevent an invasion. I saw a mainstream TV show (it might have been 60 minutes) where people in Eastern Ukrain were saying they are basically Russian anyway. In the color revolution in Ukrain we installed a pro-US president during their astroturf "maidan revolution". Why poke the Russian bear?Why not trade with them instead?Why not trade with Iran? No, lets engage in ad hominem attacks on right wing targets instead of addressing the issues instead....
	11:31am minkwest: Didn't even recognize that GBV.
	11:31am sphere: I have looked into Communism and I was totally unimpressed. People forget how closely Communism was integrated with Soviet politics. The American party line was for Hitler until Gemany invaded and it promptly did a 180 against Hitler. The Soviet Politburo was officially in charge of all Communist organizations. When a guy named Browder tried to Americanize Communism, he got booted out of the Party. The only path as a Communist was becoming like the Soviet Union, authoritarianism and all. Americans embraced Communism not for what stood for, but as an alternative to capitalism and America's sins.
	11:32am Handy Haversack: karlward, I am excited for their next Peruvian pan flute release.
	11:32am Ochre Ogre: Thought that GBV was Jah Wobble for a minute.
	11:32am karlward: Not even GBV can make me listen to pan flute, I have been to Times Square, I never need to hear pan flute music again
	11:32am Glorious Estephonic: 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
	11:32am Passaic River Blues: @WildNeil: thank you for injecting Putin's POV into the discussion.
	11:33am Peter in SEA: Bon jour @Trouble, great news about Lonnie Holley! Late to the show this morning will re-listen in archives! Greetings fellow Thursday people!
	11:33am karlward: "Everywhere With Amplified Pan Flute," I just threw up a little bit typing that
	11:33am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: PRB-its actually a WESTERN point of view from POLAND. YHou're welcome.
	11:34am Handy Haversack: I will meet you on the 1 train platform at 42nd Street for some aversion therapy, karlward. Bring dollars!
	11:35am Passaic River Blues: @WildNeil: And, not surprisingly, it's EXACTLY Putin's line, which ignores his endless aggression.
	11:36am robin: loving the show, thank you trouble!
	11:37am marcel: it is instructive to look at how ukraine and ukranians have fared since the fall of the soviet union
	11:39am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: PRB-you fail to recognize the US starting shit all over the world, including with Russia. We install puppets in a LOT of countries. We should TRADE with most of these countries and all make a pile of money. Are you proposing we REFORM RUSSIA? Lets pull the plank out of our own eyes before we pull the mote of dust out of Putin's. Yes, lets poke the Russian bear endlessly and see where that gets us. Ukrain makes Mexico look like freaking Switzerland in comparison. I visited Lwow(Lviv) and they don't have reliable running water in their landmark Opera House. Russia is primitive and backward also in some respects, but listen to Marcel. I think he might have a good point.
	11:41am marcel: found this thing interesting. www.theguardian.com... generally i'm happy that there is more and more serious study of everyday life in really existing socialism with all its upsides and downsides, and it's not just being vilified anymore. see also this www.nytimes.com...
	11:41am Megaroni: Let’s usher in The Chinese New Year Trouble! Water Tiger Year will be great
	11:41am marcel: anyway not really here to discuss politics haha, i just couldnt resist. love helado negro!!
	11:41am rx scabin: I am a Helado Negro fan as well. All of his work is fabulous.
	11:43am morphe': A joke told by a well respected anti-communist Prof at Hunter, CUNY 1979?: people on a crowded Moscow metro.. a man reading Pravda gives a chuckle. The man next to him asks "Comrade, what is funny?" The man says "It says here 'The Bear' will eat America, but here, the Bear eats us." The other man says,"That is a funny comparison. I ask you, you see that man over there? What is the difference between that man and yerself?" The guy says "I don't know..." The other man says, "That man is going home to his wife and children - YOU"RE COMING WITH ME...."
	11:43am Cal in Dothan: So sad when I have to miss Trouble. Glad to at least catch the finale. Happy Thursday everybody!
	11:45am Sprattus Sprattus: I feel today's show went around the world... if not twice
	11:46am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Ask a Pole about Socialism sometime for some real life examples. You needed a licence to raise or own a pig. If your pig gave birth, you must register THOSE pigs also... The EU in its infinite wisdom has reinstated this insanity. A LOT of our allies in NATO are NOT willing to go to the Ukraine because they realize the insanity of doing so.
	11:46am Marie: Seems to me that if Ukraine wants to join Nato, it should be able to, and Russia should accept that it is no longer the power it used to be. Putin is a totally corrupt psycho and head of a corrupt oligarchy.
	11:46am Passaic River Blues: @Wild Neil: I hear your defense of Putin and disagree with it, and saying "The US is BAD, too" is hardly a meaningful argument save to distract. As to who "started it," who invaded Crimea in 2014? Poke the Russian bear? We are bending over backwards to avoid active conflict while Putin constantly raises the temperature. It would also be instructive to look at how Russians have fared since the fall of the Soviet Union. As to trade with vile despotic states, don't worry! We already do that, all the time, every day. (Although I find your inclusion of Iran curious as it is the GOP that is dead set on stymying any progress in that area.)
	11:47am Zipperhead7: Zip comin' in late this morning. Cranked up the car to come home from doctor's office and caught Angela Davis! Yowza! Also noted that the missus put one of those Joe Biden "I Did That" stickers (she ripped off a gas pump) so it was pointing straight at 91.1 FM. Nice!
	11:47am X: Royskopp to the rescue! Swedes do it best. Thx Trouble.
	11:48am Handy Haversack: morph, looks like For the Good Times wasn't published in the States? Can't find it at the Strand or Powell's. Did you look at the NYPL yet?
	11:49am Handy Haversack: Dang, NYPL has one physical copy, and it's "use in library." What are they scared of?!
	11:50am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: PRB I am hardly an apologist for Putin. He is an evil ex KGB agent for crying out loud. However, like a broken clock being right at least twice a day sometimes Putin has A POINT or two. I assure you, the RIGHT is NOT infatuated with Putin. However, our country is so messed up in THIS particular instance IS the point. WE are the bad guys. We have strayed so far from our founding fathers that we cannot even see it anymore. It hurts me criticizing my own country more than you know, but we are PLAYING WITH FIRE and I don't want millions of innocent people to get BURNED in a nuclear fire. THAT is my point. Even JFK pulled the Jupiter missiles out of Turkey to appease Russia right after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Hopefully, Biden will wake up before its too late....
	11:51am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Sorry Trouble, I am DONE before you kick me out...
	11:52am morphe': HH - just getting acclimatized = literally ... food shopping and freezing ... but I'll check NYPL today... I saw a quote from the book where a unit come back to the safe house from a botched operation and the Unit Commander says:"THE IRA WOULD BE A POWERFUL FORCE IF IT WASN'T FOR THE IRISH." I'll be in touch...
	11:52am Marcel: The Russians indeed also haven’t done too great, especially under Yelzin, which is why putin‘s popularity is still unbroken as he was able to at least stop the free fall. He is a product of the west in a way
	11:53am Ochre Ogre: Wild Neil- Yeah agree to some extent. The war hawks of the US can be terroristic at times, bomb Baghdad just because, several reasons. Look at Afghanistan now.
	11:54am Mike W: I don’t think the U.S. right-wingers/standard GOP are obsessed with Putin, I think they and Putin are obsessed with the same things, money and power, and have realized that working together to an extent helps both achieve goals.
	11:54am morphe': Thanks Trouble and all ... so many years on and Angela Davis still inspires thought !!!!!!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Great show, Trouble, thanks! If we have to go to hell before we (BEAT) get to heaven, glad to be doing it in such fine company and with such a great soundtrack! Stay Troubled, everyone.
	11:56am rx scabin: Thank you, Trouble (intuitive beat matcher). A fine show as always. Bandcamp sees a lot of me because of you.
	11:57am Passaic River Blues: @Wild Neil: You're not an apologist for Putin, you are merely adopting his position. What's so weird is you are acting as if Putin doesn't have any agency in this matter, like he has no choice but to continue his war against Ukraine. Our government has telegraphed that we are not going to participate in an active war because it would be an absolute atrocity for all involved. Putin doesn't care; he must distract from his failures and preserve regional hegemony no matter the cost. @Mike W: the right loves Putin because he hates gays, immigrants, democratic governance and vaunts traditional hierarchy. The Russian state also funds right wing movements.
	11:57am Ochre Ogre: Merci Trouble, stay well! Peace all
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for tuning in. hope you are warm!
	11:57am Alicja Uleeshuh: Enjoying the show!!! ☺👍
	11:57am minkwest: Thanks Trouble!
	11:58am Marie: Let's all remember that Russia is not a democracy at all and I know I would never want to live in such a country. Also, I don't think Putin IS that popular--hence the silencing/killing of all his viable replacements
	11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. The tunes this morning warmed me up nicely. Let's hope the snow this weekend isn't too disruptive!
	11:58am Listener Gregory: I heard the whole show today without making a single comment. (I don't count this one.) New record!! Thanks, Trouble.
	11:58am radioronan: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Phillippe: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am listener 126464: Fantastic program, thanks Trouble.
	11:59am StringOFperils: Peace to all. Thanks, Trouble!
	11:59am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Thanks Trouble, sorry for hijacking your forum.
	11:59am sphere: thanks trouble.
	12:00pm Michael 98145: On to the Year of the Tiger
	12:00pm alanr: wow.... politics gets heavy today! I'm with "the USA is always up to no good with an interventionist/invasion record that none can beat!!" camp. Nice soundtrack for this discussion, Trouble. Bring on the snowstorm!!
	12:00pm P-90: Thanks Trouble!
