	9:06am The Oscar: Mornin'! I used to go to a nature day camp at an Audubon reserve in Massachusetts-- there's a good chance I've stood in this very meadow!

	9:10am The Oscar: Surface Trouble? Modern Noise?

	9:11am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers....
	9:12am Son Of Pantz: You already took all my money, Joe. Maybe you can share it with Trouble.

	9:13am Handy Haversack: Son Of Pantz: Treasure Type: WFMU!
	9:13am BennyThePlug: Thanks Handy! Just seeing these! Cool af.
	9:14am YETI BOB: (most useful database on earth IMO)
	9:15am BennyThePlug: YB - that's beautiful. thank you, my friend.
	9:15am Son Of Pantz: @Handy That's a crit roll!!!
	9:16am terminalhipness: birds
	9:16am bobdoesthings: I'm more into the later months for birds..
	9:17am YETI BOB: this is a great example of how jazz artists can take a semi-mediocre pop tune and make something amazing (brand-new even) out if it.
	9:18am bobdoesthings: @yetibob - check out The Bad Plus doing a cover of "smells like teen spirit"
	9:19am YETI BOB: bob - yeah, i know that track. bad plus are not bad at all!
	9:20am dr ultimately: Thank you for this most chill morning 🙏
	9:20am YETI BOB: I wouldn't call Nirvana "semi-mediocre pop" though, I like Nirvana!
	9:20am BillyLundun: Heck yes this is what I need some wicked harp bass sounds!
	9:21am TDK60: You Make Me Feel Brand New not mediocre at all.
	9:21am YETI BOB: hey, TDK, you are right. The Stylistics were OK. I apologize for my comment!
	9:21am karlward: Joe should do a Harps of Pain premium, gentle harp versions of 90s Boston rap
	9:21am Handy Haversack: Nirvana rules! (H/T: Ken From Hyde Park.)
	9:23am karlward: I am loving the Trouble + Joe tag team
	9:23am TDK60: Yeti, no biggy, different tastes, opinions. I hope.
	9:24am Joe McG: Trouble has some great prizes today to entice you to pledge, so stay tuned!
	9:24am YETI BOB: TDK: I haven't heard the original in a very long time. I was just remembering it as something that was on AM Radio in my youth and sort of lumping it together with a bunch of soft-pop
	9:25am karlward: Is there hard pop?
	9:25am YETI BOB: Of course, Karlward!
	9:26am BennyThePlug: birds aren't real.
	9:26am karlward: I demand examples of hard pop
	9:27am BennyThePlug: metallica is hard pop
	9:27am Handy Haversack: Like spiked seltzer. It's all the rage.
	9:28am PNX: Yes! I was hoping this bed would return for the marathon!
	9:28am melinda: Love this loop, reminds me of my first marathon volunteer stint
	9:28am karlward: Steely Dan is hard pop
	9:28am bobdoesthings: I'm into the earlier hard pop bird songs... before it was 'cool' to like them
	9:28am YETI BOB: BTP: Birds are real, just like yetis.
	9:28am Glistener MW: “But, what ARE birds? We may never know.” #LookAroundYou
	9:28am Andrea: Hard pop is hard to listen to.
	9:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): One of my favorite jazzifications of a pop tune is David S. Ware doing "The Way We Were." Actually, more of a deconstruction.
	9:29am Handy Haversack: This rain is not real ... these arrows are not real ...
	9:29am morphe': 800.989.9368 Therese and myself in the phone room .. use the online to pledge or call us..
	9:30am bobdoesthings: I wonder if Luzmila Carpio ended up on the bird premium..
	9:30am karlward: morphe' and Therese I need to know where you stand on the question of "what is hard pop?"
	9:31am morphe': Karl ... I only drink beer and wine, but I think Therese was drinking hard seller yesterday?
	9:32am The Oscar: Hard pop: US Girls, Prince b-sides, '60s teen death songs... Johnny Ray maybe?
	9:32am Handy Haversack: Wow, that is one killer-diller phone room! morph and Therese?! It's stars all the way down in Studio B this morning! Send some hard pop in there, and the place might just explode!
	9:32am YETI BOB: karlward: Have you heard 100 Gecs? I don't know if it's hard pop, but it's pretty hard to listen to!
	9:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: I feel the same way about Animal Collective
	9:33am melinda: I've delayed choosing premiums but I think Trouble's is a must, looking forward to having my own bird sounds
	9:33am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Zipperhead7!!!!
	9:33am karlward: WoodsOfNH: have you heard "Over The Rainbow" by Sunny Murray on the Wildflowers compilation?
	9:34am YETI BOB: @Woods: Yeah, I don't know what kind of drugs you'd have to be on to enjoy that ...
	9:35am BennyThePlug: I dunno YB, I heard birds are drones collecting our information.
	9:36am karlward: Hard pop: that Aphex/Swift mashup
	9:36am Joe McG: A pledge of $20 or more will get you in the running for this gorgeous Laraaji doulbe LP! Chill deluxe!
	9:37am Handy Haversack: Trouble, Therese, and any Jersey City-ite on the boards: do you know whether Word bookstore has already moved to its new location, or is it still on Newark Ave. right by Grove St.?
	9:38am Reno D: Trouble and Joe are one’s dream team! Puzzle me this, please: How do we SlagForLifers get in the running for prizes without upping our current pledge level? Thanky.
	9:38am bobdoesthings: I'm so annoying but I think that's a typo - it's double 'a' not double 'j' - Laraaji
	9:39am The Oscar: This is a PRIME example of Hard Pop.
	9:41am Yes: Morning friends
	9:41am Handy Haversack: Reno D: If you have no already allocated your S4L amount to various shows, you can pledge and select "no swag" and "send me a bill" and ask that "$xx of my S4L pledge go to [show]" in the memo section. But that depends on your not having already allocated your S4L amount to various shows.
	9:41am karlward: How did Sonic Youth not cover this Shangri-La's track?
	9:41am Artie: @bobdoesthings: Exactly. Just like 'vacuum'.
	9:44am YETI BOB: Hey, I just talked to morphe' and so can you! Call him and Therese at 800-989-9368, keep 'em busy in the phone room.
	9:45am Joe McG: Giving away Laraaji very soon!
	9:45am YETI BOB: that's a prize I'd be happy to win
	9:45am full metal monkey: Morning everyone.
	9:46am Reno D: Thanky, Handy. So it seems like it’s all about The Memo.
	9:46am Handy Haversack: Nice, YB! And karlward: exactly. "Little Trouble Girl," one might even think of ...
	9:46am B R M: @Reno D- I have another system, but I won't bother you with it unless you want to hear?
	9:48am The Oscar: I'll never forget the time I was at a restaurant with some friends and we were going crazy trying to identify the Sonic Youth track they were playing, only to realize we were hearing "Past Present & Future" playing in the dining room and "Black Hole" by Beck spilling out of the kitchen.
	9:48am karlward: Wait, is morphe' pronounced like "Murphy" or like "morph"? Or maybe "morph prime"?
	9:48am YETI BOB: the Audobon record that we started off with was issued on "Droll Yankees" records. According to Discogs, "Record label started around 1960 to bring stories and sounds from old New England. Company still exists today but as a bird feeder company."
	9:49am Artie: morphe 'r' us
	9:49am winston legthigh: way to go charles!
	9:50am YETI BOB: morebirds.com...
	9:51am Reno D: @B R M, I’m open to all suggestions. Please.
	9:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): "La-Moyne"....though your pronunciation is kinda swanky.
	9:53am evancuts: Cardinals, Carolina Wrens and White-throated Sparrows are singing in my backyard. Spring migration is just weeks away. Very much looking forward to our listener meetup bird walk!!!
	9:53am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: When I read E.B. White letters, I imagine it in that voice.
	9:53am TDK60: The pandemic isn't over so talking about it in past tense sounds odd, to me.
	9:54am karlward: WFMU is hard pop
	9:54am morphe': Karl.. Birth Cert name is Murphy so morphe' sounds like Murphy
	9:54am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble & Joe! I'm back from the dentist and missed the Laraaji Autoharp Alert.
	9:55am rx scabin: Relief, joy, and connection.
	9:55am Handy Haversack: It was hugely gratifying and uplifting to be in the phone room again with DJ and MC and other vols. It felt like such a reprieve compared to last year. Marathon 2021 was pre-vaccine, and everything was so charged and hard still. So glad we can find a lull in the pandemic to come together for WFMU.
	9:55am anatolian_: contribution makes WFMU, WFMU !
	9:55am B R M: @Reno D So, my Marathon system:   1. Set a TOTAL BUDGET you want to give. For easy math, let’s make it $610   2. Choose the shows you want to support, and set aside a fixed amount ($10 or more- I do $20-$25, some extra for a few others I love) for each show so you can get a badge and get in on the giveaways (usually $20-$25 to enter).    Let’s say you choose 10 shows @ $25- that’s $250 for shows.   3. Subtract the show gifts ($250) from your total budget ($610) = $360 for Swag For Life, divided by 12 months = $30 a month (ish)   4. Sign up for Swag For Life at $30 a month, don’t dedicate it to any shows, choose your swag.   5. During the shows you want to support, donate bring a giveaway or just whenever and support the show! Get a chat badge. 6. Feel amazing as a supportive member of a community supporting non-profit freeform radio! ❤️
	9:55am Barney Grubbs: @Yeti Bob: The first couple of records on the Droll Yankees label look amazing. DY-1 "caused by rum/the casket sinkers" - "two grave diggers talk." - "two new hampshire grave diggers talk shop and drink" - various off-color old yankee stories concerning drinking and grave digging www.blackbirdsf.org...
	9:55am Marley P. Dogg: WFMU is sensory overload! In a good way
	9:56am Erin in TO: Someday I want to take a trip just so I can volunteer at the station during marathon
	9:56am Joe McG: These are great responses!
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Prog is hard jazz pop. Don't @ me, karlward.
	9:57am Marley P. Dogg: Erin! Do it! The magic factory is the 8th wonder of the world!
	9:57am Webhamster Henry: Not only is it all volunteer, the DJs also have to do the cleaning tasks at the station!
	9:57am bill hanke: WFMU is a place free from shitty current commercial pop junk. for that I worship with you.
	9:57am Erin in TO: @Marley I can only imagine!
	9:57am Handy Haversack: Reno D: As you can see, B R M is far more mature than I am!
	9:58am karlward: One of my favorite things is when something comes on the station and I have an immediate reaction of "oh I don't think I like this" and then I turn it up. There is no other place for people like me.
	9:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Hard pop. Almost as hard to nail down as "smooth rock & roll," which a local station around here plays. Marketing bizarreness. Hard pop-> yacht rock?
	9:59am B R M: @Handy ha
	10:01am karlward: Handy: I'd say that overall I'm prog-curious.
	10:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Trouble: Thanks for the Greenhorns interview last week. I bought the most recent almanac and it's _fantastic_!! I've gotta visit up there. Not too far from here.
	10:03am Reno D: Whew! Ok. Thanky for that. Or: how about the website and the app simply have a button for ongoing S4L folks to simply click “Devote $25 of my yearly amount to the current show”...?
	10:03am Trouble: super thanks to listener spence from Baltimore for making the super cute wee sparrow that you get when you pledge to this show! check him out at jspenceholman.com
	10:04am Joe McG: These are all good ideas, folks, thanks. We're always working to improve our fundraising software and methods, so we appreciate the input.
	10:05am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Speaking of birds...STILL need to write down how much I have to give (NOT SFL) for Clay's Golden Pigeon...I promise I'll write it down this time. I thought I had. $380? $360? Ugh I have a bird brain this AM.
	10:05am Lucky: Holy shit! Icepack is making me cry!
	10:06am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And yeah I would love a way to get ALL the little icons.
	10:09am bobdoesthings: love this bed music loop
	10:11am Marley P. Dogg: Resistance is futile! Join the WFMU Pledge borg!
	10:13am steveo: a student -- so cool!
	10:14am Ochre Ogre: Hi Trouble and Joe M!
	10:14am Webhamster Henry: That was a big line of bird emojis!🕊🦆🦜🐥🦢🐓🦉🦤🦩🦚
	10:14am Kathi: Thanks Trouble! Love your show❤️
	10:15am The Oscar: I've loved the Shangri-Las for years, and somehow only just learned that two of them were identical twins!
	10:15am Dano59: Moimidahns of Melodrawmah
	10:16am melinda: WKRP was a great show. Thinking of Les Nesman still makes me laugh.
	10:16am Ochre Ogre: I would date WFMU, and have her (201) number.
	10:17am H-PAT: I love you guys so much but can you change the bed music?? That loop is so short ahhhhhh
	10:18am steveo: Bronwyn (C?) in the news. I didn't know this story about how she married a listener. www.theguardian.com...
	10:20am Handy Haversack: On Marathon strategies: I try to focus on not creating more headaches for Joe McG -- and I'm sure I fail abjectly in the attempt. Sorry, Joe. Ah, thanks for posting that, steveo! We were talking about it just yesterday with Sylvia and S&M&S.
	10:20am steveo: :thumb:
	10:20am Joe McG: Ha ha, Handy, I appreciate that very much! :)
	10:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @melinda: Traffic reports from the "helicopter" (banging on chest while speak)! I loved that show.
	10:21am Dano59: At the semiannual Friends of the Ithaca Library Book Sale, you can always find birdsong records and CDs produced by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Bird heaven! Maybe I should send some your way (and Amanda's).
	10:23am Handy Haversack: Syl Johnson on This Is the Modern World with Trouble: www.wfmu.org...
	10:25am Son Of Pantz: I aspire to make love like the fish in the sea.
	10:30am Lucky: Trouble's premium is one of her best!
	10:30am McGroovey: @Dano59 You're in Ithaca?... I've just figured out that we have an Ithaca friend in common (WRFI person, former bandmate of mine), acc. to the facething.
	10:34am morphe': 800.989.9368 or online
	10:34am Jeff Golick: That thrill NEVER gets old. I remember a Fine Wine shoutout from the 1990s...
	10:35am Webhamster Henry: WFMU swag has been clothing me for years! I was wearing the WFMU fleece scarf just an hour ago.
	10:36am drr: Toews is pronounced like "tevs".
	10:36am Webhamster Henry: I used to call into shows off the air which was the chat board of the 90s.
	10:36am Blix: Toews = Taves
	10:37am bobdoesthings: I did a big "Marie Kondo" of my apartment and gave away about 20 WFMU tshirts.. so now I have to donate more and re-clutter my life with swag.
	10:38am Zipperhead7: @bobdoesthings -- you are a braver person than me. I thought about doing that, but when I clutched each WFMU tee to my breast it gave me joy.
	10:38am Handy Haversack: Call to donate and you get to talk to morphe' or Therese!! That's worth a pledge just for the chance right there! 800-989-9368
	10:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & JMC & all!
	10:40am Joe McG: Trouble's goal is set for this program. Let's help her get there! One of the greatest shows on WFMU! Let's do it!
	10:42am Trouble: thank you for the miriam toews pronunciation guide!!!
	10:43am steveo: pledge for harpsichord jazz!!!
	10:43am Webhamster Henry: Harpsichord jazz gets no respect.
	10:43am Andrew Waterloo: Yah.. hockey fans know how to pronounce Toews.
	10:44am morphe': 800.989.9368 or on line get some FMU T-shirts!!! Kids' sizes too..
	10:45am karlward: Pledge before you find out what a harpsichord sounds like when it's no longer well-tempered
	10:45am Andrew Waterloo: The depth and variety on WFMU is impossible to describe with mere words and hand gestures.
	10:45am morphe': ps - A Mouse Pledge can get you 6 Ts and all the other stuff
	10:45am Emily O: Hi Trouble - great set! Question: if I am already a WFMU Swag for Life member, do I need to renew my pledge? Thank you :)
	10:46am steveo: i have a feeling i'd like that too, kw
	10:46am Andrew Waterloo: Somebody needs to make an album called "poorly tempered Clavier"... maybe that can be Billy Joel's Attila comeback album.
	10:46am captain beef fart: I've loved the JID stuff ever since being turned on to it on WFMU. I won JID4 last year on The Duane Train and have bought the whole catalog since.
	10:47am Jeff Golick: If it ain't boroque, don't fix it. Pledge for it!
	10:47am Gregolomania: Swing it, Lurch!
	10:47am Handy Haversack: Emily O: You should have received an e-mail from Joe a couple of weeks back saying your S4L pledge had renewed and asking if you wanted to pick swag or allocate the pledge to various shows.
	10:47am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This show always makes me want to bust out a new canvas and start painting. Not good for actual work productivity.
	10:48am captain beef fart: Check your spam folder (that's where my swag e-mail ended up)
	10:48am phat in lincoln: I don't know what to think of this... Lol
	10:49am Emily O: Thanks @Handy Haversack!
	10:50am john cale: hello i love baroque music haha im john cale
	10:50am Andrew Waterloo: I go with taves
	10:50am drr: The Toews I knew was in Tennessee, not Canada, so choose accordingly.
	10:51am Dano59: I'm a WRFI on-air volunteer too @McGroovey. So yeah we probably are acquainted
	10:51am winston legthigh: here comes a jackson @morphe. thanks for volunteering!
	10:51am Webhamster Henry: Absolutely! I get great music discovery from WFMU. Trouble's continuous play of Alice Coltrane and Lonnie Holley is particularly relevant to the Modern World.
	10:52am Marley P. Dogg: One of us! One of us!
	10:52am drr: Lonnie Holley has a show coming up this weekend in New Orleans with accompaniment by Quintron.
	10:52am Handy Haversack: Whoa, cool, drr!
	10:53am Webhamster Henry: That bus ride to Springdale Ave was like the boat ride in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
	10:55am Steve Schwartz: Just like buying wine, by the lable!
	10:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I bought a couple of years ago by a group named Booger Hole Revival...because how can you pass that up for a buck?
	10:55am Dano59: oh I've been next to those ppl in PRE too... oy vay
	10:56am Stashu: Sending super-love-power!
	10:56am Handy Haversack: winston!
	10:57am Handy Haversack: Oh, jeez, that's absolutely priceless. DJ Icepack FTW!
	10:57am steveo: icepack!
	11:00am Roberto: Yo no soy marinero, pero Marinero si es marinero.
	11:01am winston legthigh: i'll never forget a dj once said we dont care what they call themselves as long as the credit card works!
	11:01am Dano59: @McG and now I'm wondering who that might be. You can't throw a rock in Ithaca without hitting a musician or a massage therapist
	11:02am bobdoesthings: I've always said the worst part of Ithaca is all the people throwing rocks
	11:02am Dano59: ... this is nice in a late-60s Bond film kinda way
	11:02am Handy Haversack: What with all the rock throwing, those massage therapists must do a banner business! Digging this marinero! I wonder if they would still sound good with capital letters.
	11:03am steveo: pero salsa marinero no es salsa de soy
	11:07am unpopularfred: thank you again DJ Trouble for helping to cure me of my former youthful unreasonable aversion to Nina Simone
	11:07am The Oscar: By coincidence, I just this moment got a message in my inbox about the new Jane Birkin documentary, directed by Charlotte Gainsbourg! youtu.be...
	11:09am Roberto: Freddy C, your royalty check is in the mail.
	11:10am paul: Careful, Joe. She's Trouble.
	11:13am bobdoesthings: I had.... 12-13 years of catholic schooling. All I got was this lousy unshakeable feeling of inner shame.
	11:13am Dano59: mil-YEAH
	11:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I had 4 years of catholic school. All I got was a strange attraction to plaid.
	11:15am melinda: @woods haha
	11:15am Handy Haversack: Someone get Trouble a cabinet -- she's earned it!
	11:15am Marley P. Dogg: And the Knave in Australia 🇦🇺
	11:16am morphe': Bob.... did 12 years Bklyn Catholic School ('67-79)but no residual baggage ...
	11:17am kev: the first time I voted for president I voted for Angela Davis
	11:18am morphe': Bob.... addendum = a lot of abuse .... did 12 years Bklyn Catholic School ('67-79)but no residual baggage ...
	11:19am Barney Grubbs: Last time I visited my mom in pasadena, she pulled out her Bishop McDonnell Memorial HS (Brooklyn annex) yearbook from 1956. The Dominicans taught science & math, the Josephites taught English and Latin, the Daughters of Wisdom taught French, the Sisters of Charity taught history, and the Sisters of Mercy taught music (and had the best hats).
	11:19am Handy Haversack: From each according to their ability, to each according to unbelievable bounty that is WFMU. That is: if you can give a little extra, do so for all the listeners who wish they could afford to do it.
	11:19am m: 12 years in the catholic school yes @bobdoesthings includes esp in grade school-plenty of smacks in face & the good ol fashioned ruler on knuckles. And kneeling. "stop acting up". Even tho straight A student. Profound atheist and WFMU listener. I can only afford about $20 ea year. but fmu is in my will- whatever that might me
	11:20am kev: I did 9 years Catholic school in Midland Park
	11:20am alanr: Can I just say hello, as a regular Trouble(d) listener. Now living in Mexico city, reminding todos that the easiest way is to do the swag for life thing. Something like 10 pesitos (I meant dollars) a month. Its the mindless way to support the station!
	11:20am Dano59: I sat down and spent a couple hours with Prof. Angela Davis for an interview about 10 years ago. She was so nice. One of my best moments as a journalist and as a life experience
	11:21am winston legthigh: handy!
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Always too many wordses: the Haversack guarantee!
	11:21am dario: trouble rules start my projects listening to trouble long island New York
	11:24am McGroovey: @Dano59 Your old pal Dusty. Searching for a Thread.
	11:24am Zinn The Mood: Hey Trouble and merry Troublemakers. Have been listening sporadically all morning while getting things done. Then got a phone call from an old friend who said he’d heard I played a gig recently and wanted to know why he wasn’t invited (was a private party gig postponed for two years!). Missed you TroubleMakers last week. But had a great opportunity two weeks ago to finally get away for a short vacation. Exactly a fortnight ago was shoveling snow off of a frozen lake in Vermont so the kids could delight in having a little sledding rink. Over three days of good friends and our small families together, we stoked up a fire pit, cooked, sipped mezcal, played musical instruments, sledded, only turned on a screen to watch Get Back (which I hadn’t seen b/c I refuse to pay the cult of Disney- how TF did they get this all-important historical artifact), and were at peace with wondrous nature and the warmth of the hearth. And I wondered why life couldn’t be more like this, the majority of time spent this way, the way life was intended in something such as the “folk society” that Vonnegut talked about. Rather than this odious, merciless, ever-churning grinder of the consumer-capitalist treadmill. In which we cram in free time during something called “the weekend,” or on those infrequent (and if they’re deemed to be too many days away from the office and being in contact with work colleagues frowned upon and discouraged) reprieves from the work world called “vacation,” though they hardly ever quite land as the refreshment needed. Anyway, I’ve arrived at acting upon my gratitude for WFMU, initially and foremost through Trouble’s show, with a donation today. This show is a salve to my soul in an increasingly f’d up world; grazie molto, Trouble (and The Troubled)! But alas, I just remembered that I’m still waiting for one of those plastic bank cards we all have these days, which was in my possession until a few days ago when it wasn’t. I’m awaiting a new one (and feel strangely liberated without). Damn. Wanted also to chat briefly with John Brown comrade, morphe! I’ll be back next week with bank card in hand to give some dough to this great place. For now I’m going for an overdue, brisk walk, taking Trouble along on the portable Bose speaker.
	11:25am Dano59: oh yeah! Small world @McG. Bronwyn B also has said she remembered me from RFI but I can't recall meeting her IRL
	11:25am winston legthigh: always many very good words handy. gotta run, thanks trouble, joe, therese, morphe, all!
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Gotta take the dog out in the sun for a bit. Thanks, Trouble, Joe, morph, Therese, and all! Great Marathon show!
	11:26am Marley P. Dogg: Well said Zinn
	11:27am Zipperhead7: Ah yes . . . when I encounter people who went to parochial school, we swap stories like war veterans. I remember the Sistahs and Fadduhs of Our Lady of Precious Agony all too well. As Father Lynch pounded into us, "The thought is the deed! The thought is the deed!"
	11:28am Joe McG: We're doing great, and I think we can make our goal. Keep the phones ringing and the Internet buzzing! Thanks, friends!
	11:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zinn The Mood: Why can't life be more like this?...indeed!!
	11:29am Yes: trouble, you are a force. thank you thank you
	11:30am bobdoesthings: I still remember Sister Bernadette Anne putting her hands together in prayer and shaking her head in disapproval at my antics.. She made me miss recess dozens of times so I could write Ecclesiastes chapter 3 over and over "There is a time and place for everything under the sun, a time to talk and a time to be silent...." ugh.
	11:30am morphe': Zinn - without giving too much info .. Ya really know me from John Brown and those days??/
	11:33am Dano59: I only did weekly 'religious instruction' at our church, big extended Italian family who went the whole route. Among my peers, many of the Catholic school kids who migrated into public school around 6th grade were the worst-behaved, meanest kids.
	11:34am prudy: re Zinn's comments: I think some kids sense this at an early age...I remember thinking at age 8 that the world I knew was structured in a fucked up way...
	11:35am Dano59: you said it prudy.
	11:38am prof.fuzz: Radio Anarchy! A Houston band in the early 80s called The Degenerates had a great song/single called "Radio Anarchy."
	11:38am UFOspecialist: Is Trouble up for adoption? This is all magic.
	11:39am steveo: hurrah for magic!
	11:39am Zinn The Mood: @morphe nah, man. Just from your responses. And sensing a fellow comrade in various ways. Think a few months had mentioned how I was reluctant, viewing JB as one of the most important figures in American history, to read the James McBride satirical book “Good Lord Bird.” But who knows maybe we have met…were you at Occupy Wall St much? Met so many incredibly brilliant and compassionate folks who I never saw again. I gotta make these baked tofu triangles now that the kids (and we parents) love for lunch tomorrow before I go out. Anarchism is the most natural, fundamental pillar of organizing society. One of the most misunderstand and propagandized term in this country. Mutual Aid is our default setting as humans. Go Trouble. With love from Astoria, Queens.
	11:40am Webhamster Henry: Many People are in non-US time Zones and use the archives!
	11:40am morphe': Trouble asks: can the originator of the booklist send in the gmail link... Thanks..
	11:40am Dano59: anyone who's skeptical that society isn't built to chew you up and spit you out, I'd like to direct to the work of Adam Curtis. Hypernormalisation, Can't Get You Out of My Head, et al.
	11:41am PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi Muusic Loverrs
	11:41am karlward: prof.fuzz: did you ever encounter the Houston band Desorden?
	11:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Here we have birds of Trouble, up for adoption - www.flickr.com...
	11:43am morphe': Zinn - when I go to the Adirondacks from NYC, drive overnight with no traffic and nap in John Brown's Barn/Lean to (Nat'l Monument- Lake Placid)) before heading up Tahwuss(sp?) Mt Marcy..
	11:43am steveo: Morphe', the one I know about is a google doc, linked from Yeti Bob's profile wfmu.org... (under Personal Links)
	11:43am Dano59: Paul Weller or Jonathan Richman? either. I luv the Style Council too
	11:44am prof.fuzz: @Karlward: No, I didn't. I was active in the Houston scene from about 1980-86, then moved away for a bit.
	11:44am PaulRobeson1920: @morphe’: good morning That’s the way to do it, baby
	11:45am dday: and yet "God Bird Change" (Mingo Lewis) has never been played on this show
	11:46am Dario: I work on my projects and listen to your that inspires long island newyork
	11:46am MarciB: Oh I love a good tarot deck! Thanks Trouble and Joe- really enjoying the show (as always). Love from Sunnyside Queens!
	11:47am UFOspecialist: Break the glass!
	11:48am unpopularfred: that Lee Fields interview was amazing
	11:51am Joe McG: Thanks for keeping the pledges coming! Get in the running for Lee Fields!
	11:51am bobdoesthings: sorry to be that guy but what is the bed music loop??
	11:52am Dano59: Yeti Bob's MWwT listener booklist FTW
	11:53am UFOspecialist: My family is a swag-for-lifer household for the past few years. Is there a way to get the radio icon on my profile? :)
	11:53am βrian: FYI, coming up: Continental Subway with David Dichelle wfmu.org...
	11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Loop from Honey Cone, bobdoes - www.wfmu.org...
	11:54am steveo: The link to the book doc is on Yeti Bob's profile under personal links wfmu.org...
	11:54am Caroline: I missed the name of the artist who did the t-shirt! What's her name?
	11:55am morphe': Last Call for this week's TROUBLE.. on Line or 800.989.9368
	11:55am bobdoesthings: @kenfromHP- thank you!
	11:55am Joe McG: @Caroline: Caitlin Keegan!
	11:55am Zinn The Mood: That’s what I’m taking about, morphe! Would be cool to ruminate in person on such and related things. It’s too cold and alienating in this modern hyper-capitalism death March, to not convene such kindred spirits in person!
	11:55am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks for the awesome show!
	11:56am kevlicki: Trouble, thanks for the acknowledgement, that was very considerate! Love the independent organization cross pollination
	11:57am Dano59: Motown ... just down the kip from Swansea
	11:57am oshiwoshi: meetings all morning drat - thank goodness for the archives
	11:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @UFOspecialist: Maybe email Joe McG?
	11:58am bobdoesthings: <3 <3 <3 thank you <3 <3 <3
	11:58am Handy Haversack: Back just before the end! Glad to be able to read Zinn's comment, as ever. Thanks again, Trouble, Joe, morph, Therese, and all! Stay Troubled, everyone!
	11:59am Webhamster Henry: I've been to the Melody Tent in the 60s!
	11:59am Glistener MW: !!! long live the glorious Cape Cod Melody Tent! <3
	12:00pm Glistener MW: thanks for the wonderful morning, Trouble & all!
	12:43pm sydnius: 45 hostess pies at the company store 😜

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.

	9:06am Barney Grubbs: “a very unmusical sound” So judgemental! keep your head up chipping sparrow
	9:06am The Oscar: Mornin'! I used to go to a nature day camp at an Audubon reserve in Massachusetts-- there's a good chance I've stood in this very meadow!
	9:07am bobdoesthings: Donde esta la biblioteca?

	9:16am terminalhipness: birds
	9:16am bobdoesthings: I'm more into the later months for birds..
	9:17am YETI BOB: this is a great example of how jazz artists can take a semi-mediocre pop tune and make something amazing (brand-new even) out if it.
	9:18am bobdoesthings: @yetibob - check out The Bad Plus doing a cover of "smells like teen spirit"
	9:19am YETI BOB: bob - yeah, i know that track. bad plus are not bad at all!
	9:20am dr ultimately: Thank you for this most chill morning 🙏
	9:20am YETI BOB: I wouldn't call Nirvana "semi-mediocre pop" though, I like Nirvana!
	9:20am BillyLundun: Heck yes this is what I need some wicked harp bass sounds!
	9:21am TDK60: You Make Me Feel Brand New not mediocre at all.
	9:21am YETI BOB: hey, TDK, you are right. The Stylistics were OK. I apologize for my comment!
	9:21am karlward: Joe should do a Harps of Pain premium, gentle harp versions of 90s Boston rap
	9:21am Handy Haversack: Nirvana rules! (H/T: Ken From Hyde Park.)
	9:23am karlward: I am loving the Trouble + Joe tag team
	9:23am TDK60: Yeti, no biggy, different tastes, opinions. I hope.
	9:24am Joe McG: Trouble has some great prizes today to entice you to pledge, so stay tuned!
	9:24am YETI BOB: TDK: I haven't heard the original in a very long time. I was just remembering it as something that was on AM Radio in my youth and sort of lumping it together with a bunch of soft-pop
	9:25am karlward: Is there hard pop?
	9:25am YETI BOB: Of course, Karlward!
	9:26am BennyThePlug: birds aren't real.
	9:26am karlward: I demand examples of hard pop
	9:27am BennyThePlug: metallica is hard pop
	9:27am Handy Haversack: Like spiked seltzer. It's all the rage.
	9:28am PNX: Yes! I was hoping this bed would return for the marathon!
	9:28am melinda: Love this loop, reminds me of my first marathon volunteer stint
	9:28am karlward: Steely Dan is hard pop
	9:28am bobdoesthings: I'm into the earlier hard pop bird songs... before it was 'cool' to like them
	9:28am YETI BOB: BTP: Birds are real, just like yetis.
	9:28am Glistener MW: “But, what ARE birds? We may never know.” #LookAroundYou
	9:28am Andrea: Hard pop is hard to listen to.
	9:29am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): One of my favorite jazzifications of a pop tune is David S. Ware doing "The Way We Were." Actually, more of a deconstruction.
	9:29am Handy Haversack: This rain is not real ... these arrows are not real ...
	9:29am morphe': 800.989.9368 Therese and myself in the phone room .. use the online to pledge or call us..
	9:30am bobdoesthings: I wonder if Luzmila Carpio ended up on the bird premium..
	9:30am karlward: morphe' and Therese I need to know where you stand on the question of "what is hard pop?"
	9:31am morphe': Karl ... I only drink beer and wine, but I think Therese was drinking hard seller yesterday?
	9:32am The Oscar: Hard pop: US Girls, Prince b-sides, '60s teen death songs... Johnny Ray maybe?
	9:32am Handy Haversack: Wow, that is one killer-diller phone room! morph and Therese?! It's stars all the way down in Studio B this morning! Send some hard pop in there, and the place might just explode!
	9:32am YETI BOB: karlward: Have you heard 100 Gecs? I don't know if it's hard pop, but it's pretty hard to listen to!
	9:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: I feel the same way about Animal Collective
	9:33am melinda: I've delayed choosing premiums but I think Trouble's is a must, looking forward to having my own bird sounds
	9:33am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Zipperhead7!!!!
	9:33am karlward: WoodsOfNH: have you heard "Over The Rainbow" by Sunny Murray on the Wildflowers compilation?
	9:34am YETI BOB: @Woods: Yeah, I don't know what kind of drugs you'd have to be on to enjoy that ...
	9:35am BennyThePlug: I dunno YB, I heard birds are drones collecting our information.
	9:36am karlward: Hard pop: that Aphex/Swift mashup
	9:36am Joe McG: A pledge of $20 or more will get you in the running for this gorgeous Laraaji doulbe LP! Chill deluxe!
	9:37am Handy Haversack: Trouble, Therese, and any Jersey City-ite on the boards: do you know whether Word bookstore has already moved to its new location, or is it still on Newark Ave. right by Grove St.?
	9:38am Reno D: Trouble and Joe are one’s dream team! Puzzle me this, please: How do we SlagForLifers get in the running for prizes without upping our current pledge level? Thanky.
	9:38am bobdoesthings: I'm so annoying but I think that's a typo - it's double 'a' not double 'j' - Laraaji
	9:39am The Oscar: This is a PRIME example of Hard Pop.
	9:41am Yes: Morning friends
	9:41am Handy Haversack: Reno D: If you have no already allocated your S4L amount to various shows, you can pledge and select "no swag" and "send me a bill" and ask that "$xx of my S4L pledge go to [show]" in the memo section. But that depends on your not having already allocated your S4L amount to various shows.
	9:41am karlward: How did Sonic Youth not cover this Shangri-La's track?
	9:41am Artie: @bobdoesthings: Exactly. Just like 'vacuum'.
	9:44am YETI BOB: Hey, I just talked to morphe' and so can you! Call him and Therese at 800-989-9368, keep 'em busy in the phone room.
	9:45am Joe McG: Giving away Laraaji very soon!
	9:45am YETI BOB: that's a prize I'd be happy to win
	9:45am full metal monkey: Morning everyone.
	9:46am Reno D: Thanky, Handy. So it seems like it’s all about The Memo.
	9:46am Handy Haversack: Nice, YB! And karlward: exactly. "Little Trouble Girl," one might even think of ...
	9:46am B R M: @Reno D- I have another system, but I won't bother you with it unless you want to hear?
	9:48am The Oscar: I'll never forget the time I was at a restaurant with some friends and we were going crazy trying to identify the Sonic Youth track they were playing, only to realize we were hearing "Past Present & Future" playing in the dining room and "Black Hole" by Beck spilling out of the kitchen.
	9:48am karlward: Wait, is morphe' pronounced like "Murphy" or like "morph"? Or maybe "morph prime"?
	9:48am YETI BOB: the Audobon record that we started off with was issued on "Droll Yankees" records. According to Discogs, "Record label started around 1960 to bring stories and sounds from old New England. Company still exists today but as a bird feeder company."
	9:49am Artie: morphe 'r' us
	9:49am winston legthigh: way to go charles!
	9:50am YETI BOB: morebirds.com...
	9:51am Reno D: @B R M, I’m open to all suggestions. Please.
	9:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): "La-Moyne"....though your pronunciation is kinda swanky.
	9:53am evancuts: Cardinals, Carolina Wrens and White-throated Sparrows are singing in my backyard. Spring migration is just weeks away. Very much looking forward to our listener meetup bird walk!!!
	9:53am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: When I read E.B. White letters, I imagine it in that voice.
	9:53am TDK60: The pandemic isn't over so talking about it in past tense sounds odd, to me.
	9:54am karlward: WFMU is hard pop
	9:54am morphe': Karl.. Birth Cert name is Murphy so morphe' sounds like Murphy
	9:54am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble & Joe! I'm back from the dentist and missed the Laraaji Autoharp Alert.
	9:55am rx scabin: Relief, joy, and connection.
	9:55am Handy Haversack: It was hugely gratifying and uplifting to be in the phone room again with DJ and MC and other vols. It felt like such a reprieve compared to last year. Marathon 2021 was pre-vaccine, and everything was so charged and hard still. So glad we can find a lull in the pandemic to come together for WFMU.
	9:55am anatolian_: contribution makes WFMU, WFMU !
	9:55am B R M: @Reno D So, my Marathon system:   1. Set a TOTAL BUDGET you want to give. For easy math, let’s make it $610   2. Choose the shows you want to support, and set aside a fixed amount ($10 or more- I do $20-$25, some extra for a few others I love) for each show so you can get a badge and get in on the giveaways (usually $20-$25 to enter).    Let’s say you choose 10 shows @ $25- that’s $250 for shows.   3. Subtract the show gifts ($250) from your total budget ($610) = $360 for Swag For Life, divided by 12 months = $30 a month (ish)   4. Sign up for Swag For Life at $30 a month, don’t dedicate it to any shows, choose your swag.   5. During the shows you want to support, donate bring a giveaway or just whenever and support the show! Get a chat badge. 6. Feel amazing as a supportive member of a community supporting non-profit freeform radio! ❤️
	9:55am Barney Grubbs: @Yeti Bob: The first couple of records on the Droll Yankees label look amazing. DY-1 "caused by rum/the casket sinkers" - "two grave diggers talk." - "two new hampshire grave diggers talk shop and drink" - various off-color old yankee stories concerning drinking and grave digging www.blackbirdsf.org...
	9:55am Marley P. Dogg: WFMU is sensory overload! In a good way
	9:56am Erin in TO: Someday I want to take a trip just so I can volunteer at the station during marathon
	9:56am Joe McG: These are great responses!
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Prog is hard jazz pop. Don't @ me, karlward.
	9:57am Marley P. Dogg: Erin! Do it! The magic factory is the 8th wonder of the world!
	9:57am Webhamster Henry: Not only is it all volunteer, the DJs also have to do the cleaning tasks at the station!
	9:57am bill hanke: WFMU is a place free from shitty current commercial pop junk. for that I worship with you.
	9:57am Erin in TO: @Marley I can only imagine!
	9:57am Handy Haversack: Reno D: As you can see, B R M is far more mature than I am!
	9:58am karlward: One of my favorite things is when something comes on the station and I have an immediate reaction of "oh I don't think I like this" and then I turn it up. There is no other place for people like me.
	9:58am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Hard pop. Almost as hard to nail down as "smooth rock & roll," which a local station around here plays. Marketing bizarreness. Hard pop-> yacht rock?
	9:59am B R M: @Handy ha
	10:01am karlward: Handy: I'd say that overall I'm prog-curious.
	10:02am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Trouble: Thanks for the Greenhorns interview last week. I bought the most recent almanac and it's _fantastic_!! I've gotta visit up there. Not too far from here.
	10:03am Reno D: Whew! Ok. Thanky for that. Or: how about the website and the app simply have a button for ongoing S4L folks to simply click “Devote $25 of my yearly amount to the current show”...?
	10:03am Trouble: super thanks to listener spence from Baltimore for making the super cute wee sparrow that you get when you pledge to this show! check him out at jspenceholman.com
	10:04am Joe McG: These are all good ideas, folks, thanks. We're always working to improve our fundraising software and methods, so we appreciate the input.
	10:05am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Speaking of birds...STILL need to write down how much I have to give (NOT SFL) for Clay's Golden Pigeon...I promise I'll write it down this time. I thought I had. $380? $360? Ugh I have a bird brain this AM.
	10:05am Lucky: Holy shit! Icepack is making me cry!
	10:06am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And yeah I would love a way to get ALL the little icons.

	10:15am The Oscar: I've loved the Shangri-Las for years, and somehow only just learned that two of them were identical twins!
	10:15am Dano59: Moimidahns of Melodrawmah
	10:16am melinda: WKRP was a great show. Thinking of Les Nesman still makes me laugh.
	10:16am Ochre Ogre: I would date WFMU, and have her (201) number.
	10:17am H-PAT: I love you guys so much but can you change the bed music?? That loop is so short ahhhhhh
	10:18am steveo: Bronwyn (C?) in the news. I didn't know this story about how she married a listener. www.theguardian.com...
	10:20am Handy Haversack: On Marathon strategies: I try to focus on not creating more headaches for Joe McG -- and I'm sure I fail abjectly in the attempt. Sorry, Joe. Ah, thanks for posting that, steveo! We were talking about it just yesterday with Sylvia and S&M&S.
	10:20am steveo: :thumb:
	10:20am Joe McG: Ha ha, Handy, I appreciate that very much! :)
	10:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @melinda: Traffic reports from the "helicopter" (banging on chest while speak)! I loved that show.
	10:21am Dano59: At the semiannual Friends of the Ithaca Library Book Sale, you can always find birdsong records and CDs produced by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Bird heaven! Maybe I should send some your way (and Amanda's).
	10:23am Handy Haversack: Syl Johnson on This Is the Modern World with Trouble: www.wfmu.org...
	10:25am Son Of Pantz: I aspire to make love like the fish in the sea.
	10:30am Lucky: Trouble's premium is one of her best!
	10:30am McGroovey: @Dano59 You're in Ithaca?... I've just figured out that we have an Ithaca friend in common (WRFI person, former bandmate of mine), acc. to the facething.
	10:34am morphe': 800.989.9368 or online
	10:34am Jeff Golick: That thrill NEVER gets old. I remember a Fine Wine shoutout from the 1990s...
	10:35am Webhamster Henry: WFMU swag has been clothing me for years! I was wearing the WFMU fleece scarf just an hour ago.
	10:36am drr: Toews is pronounced like "tevs".
	10:36am Webhamster Henry: I used to call into shows off the air which was the chat board of the 90s.
	10:36am Blix: Toews = Taves
	10:37am bobdoesthings: I did a big "Marie Kondo" of my apartment and gave away about 20 WFMU tshirts.. so now I have to donate more and re-clutter my life with swag.
	10:38am Zipperhead7: @bobdoesthings -- you are a braver person than me. I thought about doing that, but when I clutched each WFMU tee to my breast it gave me joy.
	10:38am Handy Haversack: Call to donate and you get to talk to morphe' or Therese!! That's worth a pledge just for the chance right there! 800-989-9368
	10:39am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & JMC & all!
	10:40am Joe McG: Trouble's goal is set for this program. Let's help her get there! One of the greatest shows on WFMU! Let's do it!
	10:42am Trouble: thank you for the miriam toews pronunciation guide!!!
	10:43am steveo: pledge for harpsichord jazz!!!
	10:43am Webhamster Henry: Harpsichord jazz gets no respect.
	10:43am Andrew Waterloo: Yah.. hockey fans know how to pronounce Toews.
	10:44am morphe': 800.989.9368 or on line get some FMU T-shirts!!! Kids' sizes too..
	10:45am karlward: Pledge before you find out what a harpsichord sounds like when it's no longer well-tempered
	10:45am Andrew Waterloo: The depth and variety on WFMU is impossible to describe with mere words and hand gestures.
	10:45am morphe': ps - A Mouse Pledge can get you 6 Ts and all the other stuff
	10:45am Emily O: Hi Trouble - great set! Question: if I am already a WFMU Swag for Life member, do I need to renew my pledge? Thank you :)
	10:46am steveo: i have a feeling i'd like that too, kw
	10:46am Andrew Waterloo: Somebody needs to make an album called "poorly tempered Clavier"... maybe that can be Billy Joel's Attila comeback album.
	10:46am captain beef fart: I've loved the JID stuff ever since being turned on to it on WFMU. I won JID4 last year on The Duane Train and have bought the whole catalog since.
	10:47am Jeff Golick: If it ain't boroque, don't fix it. Pledge for it!
	10:47am Gregolomania: Swing it, Lurch!
	10:47am Handy Haversack: Emily O: You should have received an e-mail from Joe a couple of weeks back saying your S4L pledge had renewed and asking if you wanted to pick swag or allocate the pledge to various shows.
	10:47am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): This show always makes me want to bust out a new canvas and start painting. Not good for actual work productivity.
	10:48am captain beef fart: Check your spam folder (that's where my swag e-mail ended up)
	10:48am phat in lincoln: I don't know what to think of this... Lol
	10:49am Emily O: Thanks @Handy Haversack!
	10:50am john cale: hello i love baroque music haha im john cale
	10:50am Andrew Waterloo: I go with taves
	10:50am drr: The Toews I knew was in Tennessee, not Canada, so choose accordingly.
	10:51am Dano59: I'm a WRFI on-air volunteer too @McGroovey. So yeah we probably are acquainted
	10:51am winston legthigh: here comes a jackson @morphe. thanks for volunteering!
	10:51am Webhamster Henry: Absolutely! I get great music discovery from WFMU. Trouble's continuous play of Alice Coltrane and Lonnie Holley is particularly relevant to the Modern World.
	10:52am Marley P. Dogg: One of us! One of us!
	10:52am drr: Lonnie Holley has a show coming up this weekend in New Orleans with accompaniment by Quintron.
	10:52am Handy Haversack: Whoa, cool, drr!
	10:53am Webhamster Henry: That bus ride to Springdale Ave was like the boat ride in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
	10:55am Steve Schwartz: Just like buying wine, by the lable!
	10:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I bought a couple of years ago by a group named Booger Hole Revival...because how can you pass that up for a buck?
	10:55am Dano59: oh I've been next to those ppl in PRE too... oy vay
	10:56am Stashu: Sending super-love-power!
	10:56am Handy Haversack: winston!
	10:57am Handy Haversack: Oh, jeez, that's absolutely priceless. DJ Icepack FTW!
	10:57am steveo: icepack!
	11:00am Roberto: Yo no soy marinero, pero Marinero si es marinero.
	11:01am winston legthigh: i'll never forget a dj once said we dont care what they call themselves as long as the credit card works!
	11:01am Dano59: @McG and now I'm wondering who that might be. You can't throw a rock in Ithaca without hitting a musician or a massage therapist
	11:02am bobdoesthings: I've always said the worst part of Ithaca is all the people throwing rocks
	11:02am Dano59: ... this is nice in a late-60s Bond film kinda way
	11:02am Handy Haversack: What with all the rock throwing, those massage therapists must do a banner business! Digging this marinero! I wonder if they would still sound good with capital letters.
	11:03am steveo: pero salsa marinero no es salsa de soy
	11:07am unpopularfred: thank you again DJ Trouble for helping to cure me of my former youthful unreasonable aversion to Nina Simone
	11:07am The Oscar: By coincidence, I just this moment got a message in my inbox about the new Jane Birkin documentary, directed by Charlotte Gainsbourg! youtu.be...
	11:09am Roberto: Freddy C, your royalty check is in the mail.
	11:10am paul: Careful, Joe. She's Trouble.
	11:13am bobdoesthings: I had.... 12-13 years of catholic schooling. All I got was this lousy unshakeable feeling of inner shame.
	11:13am Dano59: mil-YEAH
	11:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I had 4 years of catholic school. All I got was a strange attraction to plaid.
	11:15am melinda: @woods haha
	11:15am Handy Haversack: Someone get Trouble a cabinet -- she's earned it!
	11:15am Marley P. Dogg: And the Knave in Australia 🇦🇺
	11:16am morphe': Bob.... did 12 years Bklyn Catholic School ('67-79)but no residual baggage ...
	11:17am kev: the first time I voted for president I voted for Angela Davis
	11:18am morphe': Bob.... addendum = a lot of abuse .... did 12 years Bklyn Catholic School ('67-79)but no residual baggage ...
	11:19am Barney Grubbs: Last time I visited my mom in pasadena, she pulled out her Bishop McDonnell Memorial HS (Brooklyn annex) yearbook from 1956. The Dominicans taught science & math, the Josephites taught English and Latin, the Daughters of Wisdom taught French, the Sisters of Charity taught history, and the Sisters of Mercy taught music (and had the best hats).
	11:19am Handy Haversack: From each according to their ability, to each according to unbelievable bounty that is WFMU. That is: if you can give a little extra, do so for all the listeners who wish they could afford to do it.
	11:19am m: 12 years in the catholic school yes @bobdoesthings includes esp in grade school-plenty of smacks in face & the good ol fashioned ruler on knuckles. And kneeling. "stop acting up". Even tho straight A student. Profound atheist and WFMU listener. I can only afford about $20 ea year. but fmu is in my will- whatever that might me
	11:20am kev: I did 9 years Catholic school in Midland Park
	11:20am alanr: Can I just say hello, as a regular Trouble(d) listener. Now living in Mexico city, reminding todos that the easiest way is to do the swag for life thing. Something like 10 pesitos (I meant dollars) a month. Its the mindless way to support the station!
	11:20am Dano59: I sat down and spent a couple hours with Prof. Angela Davis for an interview about 10 years ago. She was so nice. One of my best moments as a journalist and as a life experience
	11:21am winston legthigh: handy!
	11:21am Handy Haversack: Always too many wordses: the Haversack guarantee!
	11:21am dario: trouble rules start my projects listening to trouble long island New York
	11:24am McGroovey: @Dano59 Your old pal Dusty. Searching for a Thread.
	11:24am Zinn The Mood: Hey Trouble and merry Troublemakers. Have been listening sporadically all morning while getting things done. Then got a phone call from an old friend who said he’d heard I played a gig recently and wanted to know why he wasn’t invited (was a private party gig postponed for two years!). Missed you TroubleMakers last week. But had a great opportunity two weeks ago to finally get away for a short vacation. Exactly a fortnight ago was shoveling snow off of a frozen lake in Vermont so the kids could delight in having a little sledding rink. Over three days of good friends and our small families together, we stoked up a fire pit, cooked, sipped mezcal, played musical instruments, sledded, only turned on a screen to watch Get Back (which I hadn’t seen b/c I refuse to pay the cult of Disney- how TF did they get this all-important historical artifact), and were at peace with wondrous nature and the warmth of the hearth. And I wondered why life couldn’t be more like this, the majority of time spent this way, the way life was intended in something such as the “folk society” that Vonnegut talked about. Rather than this odious, merciless, ever-churning grinder of the consumer-capitalist treadmill. In which we cram in free time during something called “the weekend,” or on those infrequent (and if they’re deemed to be too many days away from the office and being in contact with work colleagues frowned upon and discouraged) reprieves from the work world called “vacation,” though they hardly ever quite land as the refreshment needed. Anyway, I’ve arrived at acting upon my gratitude for WFMU, initially and foremost through Trouble’s show, with a donation today. This show is a salve to my soul in an increasingly f’d up world; grazie molto, Trouble (and The Troubled)! But alas, I just remembered that I’m still waiting for one of those plastic bank cards we all have these days, which was in my possession until a few days ago when it wasn’t. I’m awaiting a new one (and feel strangely liberated without). Damn. Wanted also to chat briefly with John Brown comrade, morphe! I’ll be back next week with bank card in hand to give some dough to this great place. For now I’m going for an overdue, brisk walk, taking Trouble along on the portable Bose speaker.
	11:25am Dano59: oh yeah! Small world @McG. Bronwyn B also has said she remembered me from RFI but I can't recall meeting her IRL
	11:25am winston legthigh: always many very good words handy. gotta run, thanks trouble, joe, therese, morphe, all!
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Gotta take the dog out in the sun for a bit. Thanks, Trouble, Joe, morph, Therese, and all! Great Marathon show!
	11:26am Marley P. Dogg: Well said Zinn
	11:27am Zipperhead7: Ah yes . . . when I encounter people who went to parochial school, we swap stories like war veterans. I remember the Sistahs and Fadduhs of Our Lady of Precious Agony all too well. As Father Lynch pounded into us, "The thought is the deed! The thought is the deed!"
	11:28am Joe McG: We're doing great, and I think we can make our goal. Keep the phones ringing and the Internet buzzing! Thanks, friends!
	11:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zinn The Mood: Why can't life be more like this?...indeed!!
	11:29am Yes: trouble, you are a force. thank you thank you
	11:30am bobdoesthings: I still remember Sister Bernadette Anne putting her hands together in prayer and shaking her head in disapproval at my antics.. She made me miss recess dozens of times so I could write Ecclesiastes chapter 3 over and over "There is a time and place for everything under the sun, a time to talk and a time to be silent...." ugh.
	11:30am morphe': Zinn - without giving too much info .. Ya really know me from John Brown and those days??/
	11:33am Dano59: I only did weekly 'religious instruction' at our church, big extended Italian family who went the whole route. Among my peers, many of the Catholic school kids who migrated into public school around 6th grade were the worst-behaved, meanest kids.
	11:34am prudy: re Zinn's comments: I think some kids sense this at an early age...I remember thinking at age 8 that the world I knew was structured in a fucked up way...
	11:35am Dano59: you said it prudy.
	11:38am prof.fuzz: Radio Anarchy! A Houston band in the early 80s called The Degenerates had a great song/single called "Radio Anarchy."
	11:38am UFOspecialist: Is Trouble up for adoption? This is all magic.
	11:39am steveo: hurrah for magic!
	11:39am Zinn The Mood: @morphe nah, man. Just from your responses. And sensing a fellow comrade in various ways. Think a few months had mentioned how I was reluctant, viewing JB as one of the most important figures in American history, to read the James McBride satirical book “Good Lord Bird.” But who knows maybe we have met…were you at Occupy Wall St much? Met so many incredibly brilliant and compassionate folks who I never saw again. I gotta make these baked tofu triangles now that the kids (and we parents) love for lunch tomorrow before I go out. Anarchism is the most natural, fundamental pillar of organizing society. One of the most misunderstand and propagandized term in this country. Mutual Aid is our default setting as humans. Go Trouble. With love from Astoria, Queens.
	11:40am Webhamster Henry: Many People are in non-US time Zones and use the archives!
	11:40am morphe': Trouble asks: can the originator of the booklist send in the gmail link... Thanks..
	11:40am Dano59: anyone who's skeptical that society isn't built to chew you up and spit you out, I'd like to direct to the work of Adam Curtis. Hypernormalisation, Can't Get You Out of My Head, et al.
	11:41am PaulRobeson1920: Hi Hi Hi Muusic Loverrs
	11:41am karlward: prof.fuzz: did you ever encounter the Houston band Desorden?
	11:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Here we have birds of Trouble, up for adoption - www.flickr.com...
	11:43am morphe': Zinn - when I go to the Adirondacks from NYC, drive overnight with no traffic and nap in John Brown's Barn/Lean to (Nat'l Monument- Lake Placid)) before heading up Tahwuss(sp?) Mt Marcy..
	11:43am steveo: Morphe', the one I know about is a google doc, linked from Yeti Bob's profile wfmu.org... (under Personal Links)
	11:43am Dano59: Paul Weller or Jonathan Richman? either. I luv the Style Council too
	11:44am prof.fuzz: @Karlward: No, I didn't. I was active in the Houston scene from about 1980-86, then moved away for a bit.
	11:44am PaulRobeson1920: @morphe’: good morning That’s the way to do it, baby
	11:45am dday: and yet "God Bird Change" (Mingo Lewis) has never been played on this show
	11:46am Dario: I work on my projects and listen to your that inspires long island newyork
	11:46am MarciB: Oh I love a good tarot deck! Thanks Trouble and Joe- really enjoying the show (as always). Love from Sunnyside Queens!
	11:47am UFOspecialist: Break the glass!
	11:48am unpopularfred: that Lee Fields interview was amazing
	11:51am Joe McG: Thanks for keeping the pledges coming! Get in the running for Lee Fields!
	11:51am bobdoesthings: sorry to be that guy but what is the bed music loop??
	11:52am Dano59: Yeti Bob's MWwT listener booklist FTW
	11:53am UFOspecialist: My family is a swag-for-lifer household for the past few years. Is there a way to get the radio icon on my profile? :)
	11:53am βrian: FYI, coming up: Continental Subway with David Dichelle wfmu.org...
	11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Loop from Honey Cone, bobdoes - www.wfmu.org...
	11:54am steveo: The link to the book doc is on Yeti Bob's profile under personal links wfmu.org...
	11:54am Caroline: I missed the name of the artist who did the t-shirt! What's her name?
	11:55am morphe': Last Call for this week's TROUBLE.. on Line or 800.989.9368
	11:55am bobdoesthings: @kenfromHP- thank you!
	11:55am Joe McG: @Caroline: Caitlin Keegan!
	11:55am Zinn The Mood: That’s what I’m taking about, morphe! Would be cool to ruminate in person on such and related things. It’s too cold and alienating in this modern hyper-capitalism death March, to not convene such kindred spirits in person!
	11:55am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks for the awesome show!
	11:56am kevlicki: Trouble, thanks for the acknowledgement, that was very considerate! Love the independent organization cross pollination
	11:57am Dano59: Motown ... just down the kip from Swansea
	11:57am oshiwoshi: meetings all morning drat - thank goodness for the archives
	11:57am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @UFOspecialist: Maybe email Joe McG?
	11:58am bobdoesthings: <3 <3 <3 thank you <3 <3 <3
	11:58am Handy Haversack: Back just before the end! Glad to be able to read Zinn's comment, as ever. Thanks again, Trouble, Joe, morph, Therese, and all! Stay Troubled, everyone!
	11:59am Webhamster Henry: I've been to the Melody Tent in the 60s!
	11:59am Glistener MW: !!! long live the glorious Cape Cod Melody Tent! <3
	12:00pm Glistener MW: thanks for the wonderful morning, Trouble & all!
