	♥ 9:08am Handy Haversack: My reception is total garbage this morning, steveo! Had to go to the computer.
	9:08am Irene: Handy, I’m out in the car already. The Bluetooth is essential to list the music while my iPone streams the show.
	♥ 9:09am HyperDose: Handy nooo "the man" can track your every keystroke! Gotta get you a giant rooftop antenna

	9:21am Irene: I add so many “clicky-stars “ during your show, Trouble!
	9:21am p Gabriel fan: Trouble is killing it this morn’
	♥ 9:22am Trouble: good morning thursday people! it is sooooo loud in here with the building construction noises behind us. feeling very industrial right now, not in a good way.
	♥ 9:22am Handy Haversack: I don't like your fashion business, mister.
	♥ 9:23am karlward: I don't like these pneumatic roofing hammers that drive the nails in
	9:24am ken krimstein: good songs
	♥ 9:24am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: BTW for everyone working from home, I was today years old when I learned that these things existed: smile.amazon.com...
	♥ 9:25am karlward: Nothing is undetectable
	♥ 9:26am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: karlward it helps a lot if it's not plugged into your computer...yeah they could be tracking mouse movements but most of the time it's just timeout nagware....
	♥ 9:26am HyperDose: @3M You need an upgrade www.sweetwater.com...
	♥ 9:26am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Trouble sorry...
	♥ 9:26am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Threemoons: You'd think you could do that in software. Man, I would love it for my work laptop, which locks the danged screen after 5 minutes.
	9:27am Irene: That’s really beautiful, threemoons! I might need to get one.
	♥ 9:27am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Woods they CAN but 99% of the time IT would scan for it...
	♥ 9:28am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Irene go forth and slack! Me, I need it for my afternoon shower break.
	♥ 9:28am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Hyperdose was never a trackball fan...
	♥ 9:28am βrian: @WoodsOfNH: % caffeinate -d if you're running Mac OS.
	♥ 9:29am ChukAmok: @3M That looks like one of those LSD simulators they sold at festivals in the '90's.
	♥ 9:31am Handy Haversack: ChukAmok, I'd have more idea what to do with one of those! They ... track your mouses?
	9:31am Robm: Good morning fellow troublemakers @Trouble that was great what you said about the Supreme Court last week, needed to be said.
	♥ 9:32am βrian: I've also heard of people setting their mouse atop an analog watch with a second hand.
	♥ 9:32am Marley P. Dogg: PREX!!!!!
	♥ 9:34am PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi
	9:35am Don't Call Me Shirley: Yes, Transit of Venus...great book!
	♥ 9:35am ChukAmok: I had no idea that a PC going in to "sleep" mode, or that logging in again was such an issue that it required accessories.
	9:36am cccinkc: Shirley Hazzard!! You should also pick up The Great Fire. Nobody crafts sentences like her.
	♥ 9:36am MrDeb: Looooove Shirley Hazzard! I I highly recommend The Great Fire by her—it's my fave Shirley H.
	♥ 9:36am MrDeb: @cccink jinx!
	♥ 9:36am Zipperhead7: Good morning, Trouble and Modernists! I watched a nature show last night about caribou. As they roamed, they sounded like they were saying "Yep! Yep! Yep Yep Yep!" I admired their relentless optimism
	♥ 9:37am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH they basically tickle your mouse to make it look like it's moving. @ChuckAmok I have used work-issued laptops that logged you all the way out in 5 minutes or less; counted as "downtime" so if you had to step away for a second you get penalized....
	♥ 9:37am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Brian has to be a high-contrast watch with a big second hand; my fancy monochrome thingy doesn't work for that.
	♥ 9:38am Handy Haversack: Threemoons, my advice: get kittens. They jump on the laptop way more often than every five minutes!
	♥ 9:38am ChukAmok: Penalized as in...docked pay? That's messed up.
	♥ 9:38am karlward: I just made it a habit to kick the living hell out of my desk every 3 minutes
	♥ 9:38am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @ChkAmok: It is if you've got to do it several times per hour.
	♥ 9:38am Trouble: thanks for the suggestion on what Shirely i need to read next. of course i need to read them all. for a complete change of pace i am now reading nina stibbe 'man at the helm', hysterical!!
	♥ 9:39am βrian: %caffeinate kittens
	♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Was just reading about Alice a couple of nights in this book about drone that I'm going through.
	♥ 9:41am Handy Haversack: I'm reading this totally nutty French novel from the early fifties called /The Opposing Shore/. I don't think I have ever encountered prose quite like this. Almost Lovecraftianly purple but in the service of a plot that's almost suspended in amber. There are some passages in it that I have to read three times just to verify, whoa, you DID that?! It's very good. Translated by Richard Howard.
	♥ 9:43am Trouble: sounds fabulous @ handy; you won me over with nutty french...
	♥ 9:43am Vivian: Morning folks! Big favor - what is the name of the women's organization in UK that protested a nuclear site. something Peace camp?
	♥ 9:43am Trouble: @ vivian: greenham
	♥ 9:48am Handy Haversack: Vivian, there's a wonderful book that touches on the letters that emerged from Greenham: In Love and Struggle: Letters in Contemporary Feminism, by Margaretta Jolly.
	9:48am prudy: Handy: Richard Howard was a well regarded translator and scholar...He recently passed over...
	9:50am cory(on the couch): I’m reading Richard Dolan’s The Alien Agenda. Just started, good so far.
	♥ 9:52am Handy Haversack: prudy: wrote a few poems, too!
	9:52am kevlicki: Morning trouble and all! Trouble are you familiar with The New Haven Women’s Liberation Rock Band? They have an Abortion Song written in\| 1972. I heard it on my pal nick’s radio show Freedom Highway. He and his partner did a topical episode with some pertinent tracks. Good stuff! https://overcast.fm/+4ZF41ZfL4
	♥ 9:53am Trouble: thanks kevin: i will look it up!
	♥ 9:53am listener james from westwood: Moon Safari!
	♥ 9:54am Vivian: Thanks everyone!
	♥ 9:54am Strandlund: This is such a great album!!
	♥ 9:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Trouble: Cool essay collection coming out about food in Maine. Somewhat along the lines of the stuff Greenhorns is publishing: www.blueangelme.org...
	♥ 9:57am HyperDose: Food literature. I'm intrigued (or maybe just hungry)
	♥ 9:59am ChukAmok: That reminds me that there's a Palestinian cook book at the shop downtown that I've had my eye on for awhile.
	10:01am Wilson in SO: Birds. I wanted to thank you for arranging the birding outing a few weeks back — we ended up way ahead of the group with our kids but the whole experience was great. At times the surrounding birdsong drowned out all other sound. I wonder if you share my opinion that the sounds of nature — especially birdsong — informed our original human understanding of and urge to create music. I think about the vast aural backdrop before the cognitive dawn of man, and how things "sound right" or "make sense" to us musically as a species because of it.
	♥ 10:01am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have some old cookbooks that were my mom's. No wonder I didn't like broccoli or spinach when I was a kid. 20 minutes cook times. Yikes.
	♥ 10:03am βrian: 7 minutes works for me.
	♥ 10:04am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): For the more nerdly here who want to keep the screen from locking: www.geeksforgeeks.org...
	♥ 10:12am HyperDose: Slaying my ears this AM, Trouble! Dancing around the apt as I get stuff done before my post-op appt 🧹🕺🏾‍🎶
	♥ 10:12am Handy Haversack: I am already nodding in funk time. Trouble, is DJ Icepack by any chance going to be working the reunion events at Sarah Lawrence (I'm not crazy, right? he's in attendance there?)? I am trying to figure out what we're going to attend.
	♥ 10:19am Trouble: @handy: i don't think so. he has 3 papers due this week, gulp. we pick him up, he moves out on saturday morning.
	♥ 10:21am chresti: morphe' it'll be 83 today, 90 tomorrow in SoCal
	10:22am Jon: This is awesome great set!
	♥ 10:24am Handy Haversack: Conference papers. I remember them well. Did he get to study with Ilja Wachs? That guy was a treasure.
	♥ 10:25am Zipperhead7: One thing I don't miss about teaching -- grading papers!
	♥ 10:26am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): One thing I don't miss about my wife teaching -- helping her grade papers!
	♥ 10:27am prof.fuzz: the last of my student papers (stragglers!) are supposed to arrive by 11:59 PM tonight. tomorrow will be my last day of grading for the semester.
	♥ 10:27am Handy Haversack: I sometimes think about what would happen if I suddenly had to write a thirty-page paper again. Do I still have brain? Evidence is spotty.
	10:28am Bob a: Don’t take this the wrong way, but I thought my Shop Vac was dying. I was relieved to find it was the radio.
	♥ 10:28am Trouble: i don't think so @handy
	♥ 10:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy I would think that the first thing you would do was mix up a gin & tonic.
	♥ 10:29am prof.fuzz: mornin' y'all. trouble! handy! hyperD! karl!
	♥ 10:29am steveo: ooh, this is making me queasy
	♥ 10:29am Blacktooth: This whole Societe Etrange album is great stuff.
	♥ 10:30am Phillippe: @handy at the moment, I have doubts about my ability to count to 30
	♥ 10:31am Trouble: @ bob a: that sounds like an endorsement for WFMU, not an insult!
	♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: Woods: it got me through college! prof.fuzz! Phillippe! Is anyone else freaked out by the sudden capital letters on the playlist?
	♥ 10:33am steveo: is that a diacriticism?
	♥ 10:33am Zipperhead7: I used to stack the papers on the kitchen table and circle them warily -- then lunge in and grab four, grade them and take an hour or so off. As to writing . . . writing is absolute torture . . . cutting stone must be easier
	♥ 10:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I write three pages every morning. A long way from 30. Also, can't have a gin & tonic at 5:30 AM.
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: I am not in charge of the capital letters. I typically write without them, BUT the computer does what it wants. if someone else has used the dreaded capital letters the program picks that up as truth.
	♥ 10:36am Handy Haversack: I mean, "can't" is such a judgey word!
	10:37am Bob a: I take that back. The Shop Vac is dying.
	♥ 10:38am Zipperhead7: @Woods -- Many years ago I had a therapist tell me to write every morning, so I started a novel. I got about 100 pages in, and one day some kids were fooling around the transformer and switched it off and on, sending a surge that fried my computer. OF COURSE I didn't have it backed up. It was interesting, like having a stroke I suppose. You knew something, and then it's just gone and you can't remember what it was
	♥ 10:41am _Ike_: This Spaceheads is a WFMU classic! Big in the 90s here, at least in my mind.
	♥ 10:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zipperhead7: Well, that sucks! Did you start up again? I'm not much for self-help stuff but I picked up this morning habit based on an article about how helpful "morning pages" can be. Turns out it is!
	10:42am Andres: Chipmunk laughing fit :)
	♥ 10:42am Trouble: yes @ ike! i alwasy play bella ciao and this time i broke out and played something else: it's a miracle!
	♥ 10:43am HyperDose: Morning prof.fuzz and chresti <3
	♥ 10:44am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyy there... Good morning!
	♥ 10:44am prof.fuzz: no sooner than i mentioned them than four late essays appeared in my virtual inbox for grading...
	♥ 10:44am Îkė: ALSO: Weirdest segue I’ve heard on FMU all week! Which is a compliment. I think.
	♥ 10:44am chresti: Morning HyperD!
	♥ 10:44am Smurph: Haven't heard this shelley and track in quite a while!
	10:45am Saltzshaker: Obsessed with this
	♥ 10:45am Roberto: The shop vac confusion reminded me of last Friday night/Saturday morning, when I got stuck on the PA Turnpike with a flat tire. When I finally got underway again, I was listening to Squirrel Carcass when Rich played some mechanical-difficulty-sounding tracks. I was concerned my spare tire was coming loose.
	♥ 10:45am HyperDose: I see your positive aura, J from H 😃
	♥ 10:46am Zipperhead7: @Woods -- Nah, it's just gone. But I do remember the open. A girl gets a package in the mail, and it's a box of records from the father she never knew. So she examines them all, trying to fit them together like pieces of a puzzle to figure out who he was. If anyone wants to take that idea, go for it!
	♥ 10:47am prof.fuzz: @morphe: "eLearning" has become the new dog... As in, "Yo! Prof! eLearning ate my essay!"
	♥ 10:47am Jason from Houston: Greetings, HyperDose! It is only manifesting because of this here radio program!
	♥ 10:48am Handy Haversack: "But you told me your eLearning died earlier this semester!"
	♥ 10:48am ChukAmok: @Roberto That happened to me one time on I-95 driving through Richmond while listening to Bryce. Well, it turned out that the transmission was in fact falling to bits, and it wasn't quite the blender of marbles that I was accustomed to and expecting. Got stranded there for 36:hrs as a result.
	♥ 10:49am Andrea: that girl! shelley ann. thank you.
	♥ 10:49am karlward: ChukAmok: new game: Autechre? Or Problematic Engine Noise?
	♥ 10:49am BennyThePlug: loving the dancehall. hot fiya.
	♥ 10:50am Roberto: Is it mechanical failure or is it WFMU? You decide!
	♥ 10:50am prof.fuzz: @handy: if only! eLearning is a not-ready-for-prime-time software package that only an investor could love. it cannot be killed. not even garlic-infused silver stakes to the heart of the code can kill it as long as members of the board of regents are making money off of its deployment...
	♥ 10:50am Jason from Houston: And the fact that I just looked at photo book called "Mein Freund Der Regenpfeifer."
	♥ 10:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I used to be on a John Zorn email list and one of the folks there described his record collection as "a collection of malfunctioning refrigerator compressor sounds." I bet he listens to WFMU.
	♥ 10:52am BennyThePlug: we must clone Stevie.
	♥ 10:52am ChukAmok: @karlward I think I could detect an engine noise before I could ever ID an Autechre track with any accuracy; but I like the danger aspect of the game.
	♥ 10:52am AndrewC.: I still remember playing Shelly Ann at a party, must be 18 years ago, cos I remember my baby son was sleeping upstairs and people were telling me to turn it down, but I couldn't, cos well, Shelly Ann, has to be loud right? Anyway he didn't wake up. He's 18 now, and I'm still grateful to have first heard that song on The Modern World.
	♥ 10:52am prof.fuzz: the neighbors halfway down my street described my high school era first punk band as "sounds like a broken washing machine." obviously, i took that as a compliment.
	♥ 10:53am Zipperhead7: I saw the future of eLearning right away -- canned courseware that eliminates the need for faculty; just hire an underpaid adjunct to hold virtual office hours. Of course regents love it!
	♥ 10:53am Andrea: @Andrew- does your son love the song Shelly Ann now? Well, who doesn't love that song?
	♥ 10:53am BennyThePlug: if this song doesn't make you shake your booty you have no soul.
	♥ 10:54am D Rok: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. It is impossible to frown while listening to Stevie Wonder.
	♥ 10:54am prof.fuzz: @zipperhead: And THAT is why I did not record or post lectures or anything else that could be put on auto-pilot during the last couple of years of remote and partly-remote teaching.
	♥ 10:55am AndrewC.: @Andrea - he only likes video game and movie soundtracks now. Youtube generation! But I'm sure he would appreciate if I blasted it while he was sleeping again!
	♥ 10:56am HyperDose: @prof.fuzz A band in Florida used to have the neighbor across the street call the cops on them while practicing. Years later their H3 tour bus parked in the driveway to pick them up. Must have been so cool to rub it in their faces!
	♥ 10:56am Andrea: e-learning: I got one of my best part time teaching art jobs a few months before the pandemic. A renown institution in new york that must not be named. since the pandemic started, they've transitioned to "elearning" in some awful jargony way and it is such a shame. All those students that won't have connections with REAL LIVE ARTISTS /TEACHERS/PEOPLE now... can only watch famous ones via video. Just adding more videos to regular teacher's to-do lists.
	♥ 10:57am BennyThePlug: really killing it with this set. playing some great tracks. thank you trouble and crew!
	♥ 10:57am Andrea: @Andrew- get "Shelly Ann" to him subconsciously, however you can!
	♥ 10:58am Handy Haversack: I think K8 will quit teaching if we ever have to go to full lockdown again. It just about broke her.
	10:58am kevlicki: Trouble- re exit Thru the gift shop- totally brilliant film, that exposes how the art market is manufactured, and totally blurs the lines of what is real/documentary. I’m still questioning aspect and intentions of that film and have even encountered the two makers of the film. Theirry showed up at an installation I was building with my partner and friends, in ‘07, he was truly annoying with the camera, always filming. So I don’t doubt that aspect of his character. The brainwash character always seemed like a put on
	♥ 10:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Up before noon. Yay, me! Good morning.
	♥ 10:59am Andrea: @BettyThePlug and Trouble: YES! This set! Needed! For! Happiness!
	♥ 10:59am prof.fuzz: @hyperD: bonus points if the tour bus did donuts in the neighbor's yard when driving away! @Andrea: i've been in-classroom this whole academic year, but over half of my students have opted to listen in to real-time audio feed that I'm required to provide to students who have the plague (or otherwise don't want to come to class). it's been exhausting. even worse than the previous year which was fully remote. i just need lady gaga to record this particular song about a panda so i can retire from teaching...
	♥ 11:00am Zipperhead7: This set is slammin,' Trouble! I love the way you pace your shows, starting with atmospherics and moving into the groove thang
	♥ 11:00am harry j: git it get on up
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: gracias@zipperhead!
	♥ 11:03am Handy Haversack: I have short-circuited e-learning by rendering myself incapable of learning anything at all. In your FACE, surveillance capitalism!
	11:05am Sean: https://thevinylfactory.com/features/drake-more-life-wicker-chair-album-covers/
	♥ 11:06am Andrea: @prof.fuzz: I've heard that this year have been the worst for teachers, even worse than before. I feel for you! I used to work with teachers all the time and know how almost impossible it already is. I am a teaching artist, and really committed to nyc kids. i used to work at 3-4 schools a week (in school mostly, and after some) and that is just impossible now- that would mean exposure to like 250 kids a week. i'm worried about the future of this work, and know the kids need us more than ever. trying to be hopeful and flexible, and knowing that everything is better if I expect LOTS of wiggle room and imperfection! And I'm finding freedom in being less perfectionist/weirder with my students.
	♥ 11:07am BennyThePlug: morphe - hahaha! pardon me.
	♥ 11:07am Andrea: @Handy heheheheheheheh! yes! JUST SAY NO elearning capitalism jargon bla bla!
	♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: Andrea: my partner, K8, is also a teaching artist in the NYC schools! For like fifteen years now? You two should totally connect and share war stories.
	♥ 11:10am Zipperhead7: @Andrea -- yes!!! My last semester I went into class to give the final exam and asked what they wanted to do -- take a final or have a dance party. So I gave everyone an A on the final and played "Love Train." It blew their minds!
	♥ 11:10am prof.fuzz: @Andrea: keep on being awesome!
	♥ 11:11am bk845: Leaded gasoline hasn't really been a thing since the 1980s. But it definitely did cause an increase in lead in people's blood in the 60s and 70s.
	♥ 11:11am HyperDose: @Zipperhead7 You rule!
	♥ 11:11am prof.fuzz: @zipperhead: you too! that was the best final exam ever!
	♥ 11:11am Andrea: @handy- yess!!! K8! please give her my email: goldmandrea@gmail.com and we can build a better ship.
	♥ 11:11am Megaroni: Thank you for calling out Greedazon!
	♥ 11:11am Andrea: @prof.fuzz- you too! keep it fuzzy.
	♥ 11:12am bk845: There are studies that showed that leaded gasoline caused an increase in crime rates for those areas heavily affected, which helped lead to its ban.
	♥ 11:12am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:12am YETI BOB: My theme song!
	♥ 11:12am bk845: www.eia.gov...
	♥ 11:13am Peter in SEA: Perfect song to come in on! Bon jour @Trouble and listeners! And the palette of that painting on the playlist! Fire!
	♥ 11:13am Jason from Houston: My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Fort Worth? Tu Hai.
	11:14am tullius: DJ who lives in NYC area: I totally care about the environment..
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: Will do, Andrea!
	♥ 11:15am PKNY: To compound the genius of "Too High", it's Stevie on all instruments: Fender Rhodes electric piano, harmonica, drums, Moog bass
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: Andrea: She's a bit crazed right now with producing the plays of twelve-year-olds but will be in touch. She wanted me to ask what your art form is, though.
	♥ 11:18am Trouble: thanks@sean!!! fab!
	♥ 11:20am Andrea: @handy- i get it! i make music, video, drawings, & word stuff. i teach visual art and a lot of stop motion animation and digital art stuff. she teaches theater?
	♥ 11:22am Andrea: PKNY- thanks for telling us about too high! he's amazing.
	♥ 11:27am Handy Haversack: Theater, music, poetry, play writing. And now also has a practice doing improv and memory work with the elderly and people with dementia.
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: Shoot! Gotta to guard the car. Many thanks, Trouble, and happy birthday, Stevie the Wonder! Stay Troubled, everyone!
	♥ 11:31am Andrea: handy- awesome! have a good one...
	11:31am prudy: Thanks Trouble for this killer set of Wonder tunes!
	♥ 11:32am Roberto: Happy birthday, Stevie, and a Wonder-ful day to all!
	♥ 11:33am Zinn The Mood: Hey good Troubled folks and Trouble herself. Been listening in background this morning while dealing with all manner of stuff: from two night late nights in a row with a dear friend from abroad who’s here for a week, to a kind of convoluted request from a booking agent for a private show in FLA in Nov, to thinking throughout the day of a former bass player friend who’s struggling in the hospital with Covid (has long-standing other complications). On top of which both kids are sick. Man, I’m sapped like I haven’t been in a long time. All this Stevie is rejuvenating. Mind-blowing that he’s playing everything on “Too High.” How can one be that insanely talented? Shuggie Otis was pretty great in that respect too. But Stevie is and will always be in a class by himself. Gotta go kick around a ball with the kids who have that energy they find when starting to feel a bit better…
	♥ 11:34am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: LOVE ANOTHER STAR!
	11:37am Kat in Chicago: Loving all the Stevie, also the Laurie Spiegel at the top of the show
	♥ 11:37am Andrea: Trouble: thank you SO MUCH for this heartening set building to the wonder wonder. Was having a rough day and feel so much more possibility now. thank you. have a good week!
	♥ 11:39am PKNY: Every second of "Another Star" is brilliant, but I'm all in on the percussion breakdown right now.
	♥ 11:40am harry j: I feel like jamie foxx could play him too
	♥ 11:40am PKNY: And I believe Bobbi Humphrey is on the flute here
	11:41am Nate in Detroit: Phew! This set had me worried for a minute, but after consulting the google I'm realizing it's a birthday tribute. Great set!
	♥ 11:41am BennyThePlug: Awesome show today! I bet Trouble is a great art teacher. I remember my art teachers. So thankful I had some really good ones.
	♥ 11:42am oshiwoshi: SW is the apostle of love
	♥ 11:42am Analog Nights: Secret Life of Plants is fantastic!
	♥ 11:44am Mike W: Another birthday to celebrate is Karen Pryor, who is 90 today. She pioneered bringing clicker training to dogs and other animals, improving the welfare of countless sentient beings (including some humans) over the past several decades. Every good trainer has read this book, but it’s not a training manual and is in fact written accessibly for anyone who has pets — any animal — and has ever wondered about their behavior and how we can support it, modify it, celebrate it, etc. Highest possible recommendation for interested peoples: shop.clickertraining.com...
	11:48am Susan See: Thank you for reminding me, Trouble. I really do want to see the Syl Johnson documentary. I missed what you said about getting in the running.

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.

	♥ 9:22am Trouble: good morning thursday people! it is sooooo loud in here with the building construction noises behind us. feeling very industrial right now, not in a good way.
	♥ 9:22am Handy Haversack: I don't like your fashion business, mister.
	♥ 9:23am karlward: I don't like these pneumatic roofing hammers that drive the nails in
	9:24am ken krimstein: good songs
	♥ 9:24am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: BTW for everyone working from home, I was today years old when I learned that these things existed: smile.amazon.com...
	♥ 9:25am karlward: Nothing is undetectable
	♥ 9:26am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: karlward it helps a lot if it's not plugged into your computer...yeah they could be tracking mouse movements but most of the time it's just timeout nagware....
	♥ 9:26am HyperDose: @3M You need an upgrade www.sweetwater.com...
	♥ 9:26am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Trouble sorry...
	♥ 9:26am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Threemoons: You'd think you could do that in software. Man, I would love it for my work laptop, which locks the danged screen after 5 minutes.
	9:27am Irene: That’s really beautiful, threemoons! I might need to get one.
	♥ 9:27am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Woods they CAN but 99% of the time IT would scan for it...
	♥ 9:28am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Irene go forth and slack! Me, I need it for my afternoon shower break.
	♥ 9:28am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Hyperdose was never a trackball fan...
	♥ 9:28am βrian: @WoodsOfNH: % caffeinate -d if you're running Mac OS.
	♥ 9:29am ChukAmok: @3M That looks like one of those LSD simulators they sold at festivals in the '90's.
	♥ 9:31am Handy Haversack: ChukAmok, I'd have more idea what to do with one of those! They ... track your mouses?
	9:31am Robm: Good morning fellow troublemakers @Trouble that was great what you said about the Supreme Court last week, needed to be said.
	♥ 9:32am βrian: I've also heard of people setting their mouse atop an analog watch with a second hand.
	♥ 9:32am Marley P. Dogg: PREX!!!!!
	♥ 9:34am PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi
	9:35am Don't Call Me Shirley: Yes, Transit of Venus...great book!
	♥ 9:35am ChukAmok: I had no idea that a PC going in to "sleep" mode, or that logging in again was such an issue that it required accessories.
	9:36am cccinkc: Shirley Hazzard!! You should also pick up The Great Fire. Nobody crafts sentences like her.
	♥ 9:36am MrDeb: Looooove Shirley Hazzard! I I highly recommend The Great Fire by her—it's my fave Shirley H.
	♥ 9:36am MrDeb: @cccink jinx!
	♥ 9:36am Zipperhead7: Good morning, Trouble and Modernists! I watched a nature show last night about caribou. As they roamed, they sounded like they were saying "Yep! Yep! Yep Yep Yep!" I admired their relentless optimism
	♥ 9:37am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH they basically tickle your mouse to make it look like it's moving. @ChuckAmok I have used work-issued laptops that logged you all the way out in 5 minutes or less; counted as "downtime" so if you had to step away for a second you get penalized....
	♥ 9:37am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Brian has to be a high-contrast watch with a big second hand; my fancy monochrome thingy doesn't work for that.
	♥ 9:38am Handy Haversack: Threemoons, my advice: get kittens. They jump on the laptop way more often than every five minutes!
	♥ 9:38am ChukAmok: Penalized as in...docked pay? That's messed up.
	♥ 9:38am karlward: I just made it a habit to kick the living hell out of my desk every 3 minutes
	♥ 9:38am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @ChkAmok: It is if you've got to do it several times per hour.
	♥ 9:38am Trouble: thanks for the suggestion on what Shirely i need to read next. of course i need to read them all. for a complete change of pace i am now reading nina stibbe 'man at the helm', hysterical!!
	♥ 9:39am βrian: %caffeinate kittens
	♥ 9:39am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Was just reading about Alice a couple of nights in this book about drone that I'm going through.
	♥ 9:41am Handy Haversack: I'm reading this totally nutty French novel from the early fifties called /The Opposing Shore/. I don't think I have ever encountered prose quite like this. Almost Lovecraftianly purple but in the service of a plot that's almost suspended in amber. There are some passages in it that I have to read three times just to verify, whoa, you DID that?! It's very good. Translated by Richard Howard.
	♥ 9:43am Trouble: sounds fabulous @ handy; you won me over with nutty french...
	♥ 9:43am Vivian: Morning folks! Big favor - what is the name of the women's organization in UK that protested a nuclear site. something Peace camp?
	♥ 9:43am Trouble: @ vivian: greenham
	♥ 9:48am Handy Haversack: Vivian, there's a wonderful book that touches on the letters that emerged from Greenham: In Love and Struggle: Letters in Contemporary Feminism, by Margaretta Jolly.
	9:48am prudy: Handy: Richard Howard was a well regarded translator and scholar...He recently passed over...
	9:50am cory(on the couch): I’m reading Richard Dolan’s The Alien Agenda. Just started, good so far.
	♥ 9:52am Handy Haversack: prudy: wrote a few poems, too!
	9:52am kevlicki: Morning trouble and all! Trouble are you familiar with The New Haven Women’s Liberation Rock Band? They have an Abortion Song written in\| 1972. I heard it on my pal nick’s radio show Freedom Highway. He and his partner did a topical episode with some pertinent tracks. Good stuff! https://overcast.fm/+4ZF41ZfL4
	♥ 9:53am Trouble: thanks kevin: i will look it up!
	♥ 9:53am listener james from westwood: Moon Safari!
	♥ 9:54am Vivian: Thanks everyone!
	♥ 9:54am Strandlund: This is such a great album!!
	♥ 9:55am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Trouble: Cool essay collection coming out about food in Maine. Somewhat along the lines of the stuff Greenhorns is publishing: www.blueangelme.org...
	♥ 9:57am HyperDose: Food literature. I'm intrigued (or maybe just hungry)
	♥ 9:59am ChukAmok: That reminds me that there's a Palestinian cook book at the shop downtown that I've had my eye on for awhile.
	10:01am Wilson in SO: Birds. I wanted to thank you for arranging the birding outing a few weeks back — we ended up way ahead of the group with our kids but the whole experience was great. At times the surrounding birdsong drowned out all other sound. I wonder if you share my opinion that the sounds of nature — especially birdsong — informed our original human understanding of and urge to create music. I think about the vast aural backdrop before the cognitive dawn of man, and how things "sound right" or "make sense" to us musically as a species because of it.
	♥ 10:01am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have some old cookbooks that were my mom's. No wonder I didn't like broccoli or spinach when I was a kid. 20 minutes cook times. Yikes.
	♥ 10:03am βrian: 7 minutes works for me.
	♥ 10:04am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): For the more nerdly here who want to keep the screen from locking: www.geeksforgeeks.org...
	♥ 10:12am HyperDose: Slaying my ears this AM, Trouble! Dancing around the apt as I get stuff done before my post-op appt 🧹🕺🏾‍🎶
	♥ 10:12am Handy Haversack: I am already nodding in funk time. Trouble, is DJ Icepack by any chance going to be working the reunion events at Sarah Lawrence (I'm not crazy, right? he's in attendance there?)? I am trying to figure out what we're going to attend.
	♥ 10:19am Trouble: @handy: i don't think so. he has 3 papers due this week, gulp. we pick him up, he moves out on saturday morning.
	♥ 10:21am chresti: morphe' it'll be 83 today, 90 tomorrow in SoCal
	10:22am Jon: This is awesome great set!
	♥ 10:24am Handy Haversack: Conference papers. I remember them well. Did he get to study with Ilja Wachs? That guy was a treasure.
	♥ 10:25am Zipperhead7: One thing I don't miss about teaching -- grading papers!
	♥ 10:26am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): One thing I don't miss about my wife teaching -- helping her grade papers!
	♥ 10:27am prof.fuzz: the last of my student papers (stragglers!) are supposed to arrive by 11:59 PM tonight. tomorrow will be my last day of grading for the semester.
	♥ 10:27am Handy Haversack: I sometimes think about what would happen if I suddenly had to write a thirty-page paper again. Do I still have brain? Evidence is spotty.
	10:28am Bob a: Don’t take this the wrong way, but I thought my Shop Vac was dying. I was relieved to find it was the radio.
	♥ 10:28am Trouble: i don't think so @handy
	♥ 10:28am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Handy I would think that the first thing you would do was mix up a gin & tonic.
	♥ 10:29am prof.fuzz: mornin' y'all. trouble! handy! hyperD! karl!
	♥ 10:29am steveo: ooh, this is making me queasy
	♥ 10:29am Blacktooth: This whole Societe Etrange album is great stuff.
	♥ 10:30am Phillippe: @handy at the moment, I have doubts about my ability to count to 30
	♥ 10:31am Trouble: @ bob a: that sounds like an endorsement for WFMU, not an insult!
	♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: Woods: it got me through college! prof.fuzz! Phillippe! Is anyone else freaked out by the sudden capital letters on the playlist?
	♥ 10:33am steveo: is that a diacriticism?
	♥ 10:33am Zipperhead7: I used to stack the papers on the kitchen table and circle them warily -- then lunge in and grab four, grade them and take an hour or so off. As to writing . . . writing is absolute torture . . . cutting stone must be easier
	♥ 10:33am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I write three pages every morning. A long way from 30. Also, can't have a gin & tonic at 5:30 AM.
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: I am not in charge of the capital letters. I typically write without them, BUT the computer does what it wants. if someone else has used the dreaded capital letters the program picks that up as truth.
	♥ 10:36am Handy Haversack: I mean, "can't" is such a judgey word!
	10:37am Bob a: I take that back. The Shop Vac is dying.
	♥ 10:38am Zipperhead7: @Woods -- Many years ago I had a therapist tell me to write every morning, so I started a novel. I got about 100 pages in, and one day some kids were fooling around the transformer and switched it off and on, sending a surge that fried my computer. OF COURSE I didn't have it backed up. It was interesting, like having a stroke I suppose. You knew something, and then it's just gone and you can't remember what it was
	♥ 10:41am _Ike_: This Spaceheads is a WFMU classic! Big in the 90s here, at least in my mind.
	♥ 10:41am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @Zipperhead7: Well, that sucks! Did you start up again? I'm not much for self-help stuff but I picked up this morning habit based on an article about how helpful "morning pages" can be. Turns out it is!
	10:42am Andres: Chipmunk laughing fit :)
	♥ 10:42am Trouble: yes @ ike! i alwasy play bella ciao and this time i broke out and played something else: it's a miracle!
	♥ 10:43am HyperDose: Morning prof.fuzz and chresti <3
	♥ 10:44am Jason from Houston: Heyyyyyyy there... Good morning!
	♥ 10:44am prof.fuzz: no sooner than i mentioned them than four late essays appeared in my virtual inbox for grading...
	♥ 10:44am Îkė: ALSO: Weirdest segue I’ve heard on FMU all week! Which is a compliment. I think.
	♥ 10:44am chresti: Morning HyperD!
	♥ 10:44am Smurph: Haven't heard this shelley and track in quite a while!
	10:45am Saltzshaker: Obsessed with this
	♥ 10:45am Roberto: The shop vac confusion reminded me of last Friday night/Saturday morning, when I got stuck on the PA Turnpike with a flat tire. When I finally got underway again, I was listening to Squirrel Carcass when Rich played some mechanical-difficulty-sounding tracks. I was concerned my spare tire was coming loose.
	♥ 10:45am HyperDose: I see your positive aura, J from H 😃
	♥ 10:46am Zipperhead7: @Woods -- Nah, it's just gone. But I do remember the open. A girl gets a package in the mail, and it's a box of records from the father she never knew. So she examines them all, trying to fit them together like pieces of a puzzle to figure out who he was. If anyone wants to take that idea, go for it!
	♥ 10:47am prof.fuzz: @morphe: "eLearning" has become the new dog... As in, "Yo! Prof! eLearning ate my essay!"
	♥ 10:47am Jason from Houston: Greetings, HyperDose! It is only manifesting because of this here radio program!
	♥ 10:48am Handy Haversack: "But you told me your eLearning died earlier this semester!"
	♥ 10:48am ChukAmok: @Roberto That happened to me one time on I-95 driving through Richmond while listening to Bryce. Well, it turned out that the transmission was in fact falling to bits, and it wasn't quite the blender of marbles that I was accustomed to and expecting. Got stranded there for 36:hrs as a result.
	♥ 10:49am Andrea: that girl! shelley ann. thank you.
	♥ 10:49am karlward: ChukAmok: new game: Autechre? Or Problematic Engine Noise?
	♥ 10:49am BennyThePlug: loving the dancehall. hot fiya.
	♥ 10:50am Roberto: Is it mechanical failure or is it WFMU? You decide!
	♥ 10:50am prof.fuzz: @handy: if only! eLearning is a not-ready-for-prime-time software package that only an investor could love. it cannot be killed. not even garlic-infused silver stakes to the heart of the code can kill it as long as members of the board of regents are making money off of its deployment...
	♥ 10:50am Jason from Houston: And the fact that I just looked at photo book called "Mein Freund Der Regenpfeifer."
	♥ 10:51am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I used to be on a John Zorn email list and one of the folks there described his record collection as "a collection of malfunctioning refrigerator compressor sounds." I bet he listens to WFMU.
	♥ 10:52am BennyThePlug: we must clone Stevie.
	♥ 10:52am ChukAmok: @karlward I think I could detect an engine noise before I could ever ID an Autechre track with any accuracy; but I like the danger aspect of the game.
	♥ 10:52am AndrewC.: I still remember playing Shelly Ann at a party, must be 18 years ago, cos I remember my baby son was sleeping upstairs and people were telling me to turn it down, but I couldn't, cos well, Shelly Ann, has to be loud right? Anyway he didn't wake up. He's 18 now, and I'm still grateful to have first heard that song on The Modern World.
	♥ 10:52am prof.fuzz: the neighbors halfway down my street described my high school era first punk band as "sounds like a broken washing machine." obviously, i took that as a compliment.
	♥ 10:53am Zipperhead7: I saw the future of eLearning right away -- canned courseware that eliminates the need for faculty; just hire an underpaid adjunct to hold virtual office hours. Of course regents love it!
	♥ 10:53am Andrea: @Andrew- does your son love the song Shelly Ann now? Well, who doesn't love that song?
	♥ 10:53am BennyThePlug: if this song doesn't make you shake your booty you have no soul.
	♥ 10:54am D Rok: I've said it before, and I'll say it again. It is impossible to frown while listening to Stevie Wonder.
	♥ 10:54am prof.fuzz: @zipperhead: And THAT is why I did not record or post lectures or anything else that could be put on auto-pilot during the last couple of years of remote and partly-remote teaching.
	♥ 10:55am AndrewC.: @Andrea - he only likes video game and movie soundtracks now. Youtube generation! But I'm sure he would appreciate if I blasted it while he was sleeping again!
	♥ 10:56am HyperDose: @prof.fuzz A band in Florida used to have the neighbor across the street call the cops on them while practicing. Years later their H3 tour bus parked in the driveway to pick them up. Must have been so cool to rub it in their faces!
	♥ 10:56am Andrea: e-learning: I got one of my best part time teaching art jobs a few months before the pandemic. A renown institution in new york that must not be named. since the pandemic started, they've transitioned to "elearning" in some awful jargony way and it is such a shame. All those students that won't have connections with REAL LIVE ARTISTS /TEACHERS/PEOPLE now... can only watch famous ones via video. Just adding more videos to regular teacher's to-do lists.
	♥ 10:57am BennyThePlug: really killing it with this set. playing some great tracks. thank you trouble and crew!
	♥ 10:57am Andrea: @Andrew- get "Shelly Ann" to him subconsciously, however you can!
	♥ 10:58am Handy Haversack: I think K8 will quit teaching if we ever have to go to full lockdown again. It just about broke her.
	10:58am kevlicki: Trouble- re exit Thru the gift shop- totally brilliant film, that exposes how the art market is manufactured, and totally blurs the lines of what is real/documentary. I’m still questioning aspect and intentions of that film and have even encountered the two makers of the film. Theirry showed up at an installation I was building with my partner and friends, in ‘07, he was truly annoying with the camera, always filming. So I don’t doubt that aspect of his character. The brainwash character always seemed like a put on
	♥ 10:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Up before noon. Yay, me! Good morning.
	♥ 10:59am Andrea: @BettyThePlug and Trouble: YES! This set! Needed! For! Happiness!
	♥ 10:59am prof.fuzz: @hyperD: bonus points if the tour bus did donuts in the neighbor's yard when driving away! @Andrea: i've been in-classroom this whole academic year, but over half of my students have opted to listen in to real-time audio feed that I'm required to provide to students who have the plague (or otherwise don't want to come to class). it's been exhausting. even worse than the previous year which was fully remote. i just need lady gaga to record this particular song about a panda so i can retire from teaching...
	♥ 11:00am Zipperhead7: This set is slammin,' Trouble! I love the way you pace your shows, starting with atmospherics and moving into the groove thang
	♥ 11:00am harry j: git it get on up
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: gracias@zipperhead!
	♥ 11:03am Handy Haversack: I have short-circuited e-learning by rendering myself incapable of learning anything at all. In your FACE, surveillance capitalism!

	♥ 11:06am Andrea: @prof.fuzz: I've heard that this year have been the worst for teachers, even worse than before. I feel for you! I used to work with teachers all the time and know how almost impossible it already is. I am a teaching artist, and really committed to nyc kids. i used to work at 3-4 schools a week (in school mostly, and after some) and that is just impossible now- that would mean exposure to like 250 kids a week. i'm worried about the future of this work, and know the kids need us more than ever. trying to be hopeful and flexible, and knowing that everything is better if I expect LOTS of wiggle room and imperfection! And I'm finding freedom in being less perfectionist/weirder with my students.
	♥ 11:07am BennyThePlug: morphe - hahaha! pardon me.
	♥ 11:07am Andrea: @Handy heheheheheheheh! yes! JUST SAY NO elearning capitalism jargon bla bla!
	♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: Andrea: my partner, K8, is also a teaching artist in the NYC schools! For like fifteen years now? You two should totally connect and share war stories.
	♥ 11:10am Zipperhead7: @Andrea -- yes!!! My last semester I went into class to give the final exam and asked what they wanted to do -- take a final or have a dance party. So I gave everyone an A on the final and played "Love Train." It blew their minds!
	♥ 11:10am prof.fuzz: @Andrea: keep on being awesome!
	♥ 11:11am bk845: Leaded gasoline hasn't really been a thing since the 1980s. But it definitely did cause an increase in lead in people's blood in the 60s and 70s.
	♥ 11:11am HyperDose: @Zipperhead7 You rule!
	♥ 11:11am prof.fuzz: @zipperhead: you too! that was the best final exam ever!
	♥ 11:11am Andrea: @handy- yess!!! K8! please give her my email: goldmandrea@gmail.com and we can build a better ship.
	♥ 11:11am Megaroni: Thank you for calling out Greedazon!
	♥ 11:11am Andrea: @prof.fuzz- you too! keep it fuzzy.
	♥ 11:12am bk845: There are studies that showed that leaded gasoline caused an increase in crime rates for those areas heavily affected, which helped lead to its ban.
	♥ 11:12am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	♥ 11:12am YETI BOB: My theme song!
	♥ 11:12am bk845: www.eia.gov...
	♥ 11:13am Peter in SEA: Perfect song to come in on! Bon jour @Trouble and listeners! And the palette of that painting on the playlist! Fire!
	♥ 11:13am Jason from Houston: My favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Fort Worth? Tu Hai.
	11:14am tullius: DJ who lives in NYC area: I totally care about the environment..
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: Will do, Andrea!
	♥ 11:15am PKNY: To compound the genius of "Too High", it's Stevie on all instruments: Fender Rhodes electric piano, harmonica, drums, Moog bass
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: Andrea: She's a bit crazed right now with producing the plays of twelve-year-olds but will be in touch. She wanted me to ask what your art form is, though.
	♥ 11:18am Trouble: thanks@sean!!! fab!
	♥ 11:20am Andrea: @handy- i get it! i make music, video, drawings, & word stuff. i teach visual art and a lot of stop motion animation and digital art stuff. she teaches theater?
	♥ 11:22am Andrea: PKNY- thanks for telling us about too high! he's amazing.
	♥ 11:27am Handy Haversack: Theater, music, poetry, play writing. And now also has a practice doing improv and memory work with the elderly and people with dementia.
	♥ 11:28am Handy Haversack: Shoot! Gotta to guard the car. Many thanks, Trouble, and happy birthday, Stevie the Wonder! Stay Troubled, everyone!
	♥ 11:31am Andrea: handy- awesome! have a good one...
	11:31am prudy: Thanks Trouble for this killer set of Wonder tunes!
	♥ 11:32am Roberto: Happy birthday, Stevie, and a Wonder-ful day to all!
	♥ 11:33am Zinn The Mood: Hey good Troubled folks and Trouble herself. Been listening in background this morning while dealing with all manner of stuff: from two night late nights in a row with a dear friend from abroad who’s here for a week, to a kind of convoluted request from a booking agent for a private show in FLA in Nov, to thinking throughout the day of a former bass player friend who’s struggling in the hospital with Covid (has long-standing other complications). On top of which both kids are sick. Man, I’m sapped like I haven’t been in a long time. All this Stevie is rejuvenating. Mind-blowing that he’s playing everything on “Too High.” How can one be that insanely talented? Shuggie Otis was pretty great in that respect too. But Stevie is and will always be in a class by himself. Gotta go kick around a ball with the kids who have that energy they find when starting to feel a bit better…
	♥ 11:34am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: LOVE ANOTHER STAR!
	11:37am Kat in Chicago: Loving all the Stevie, also the Laurie Spiegel at the top of the show
	♥ 11:37am Andrea: Trouble: thank you SO MUCH for this heartening set building to the wonder wonder. Was having a rough day and feel so much more possibility now. thank you. have a good week!
	♥ 11:39am PKNY: Every second of "Another Star" is brilliant, but I'm all in on the percussion breakdown right now.
	♥ 11:40am harry j: I feel like jamie foxx could play him too
	♥ 11:40am PKNY: And I believe Bobbi Humphrey is on the flute here
	11:41am Nate in Detroit: Phew! This set had me worried for a minute, but after consulting the google I'm realizing it's a birthday tribute. Great set!
	♥ 11:41am BennyThePlug: Awesome show today! I bet Trouble is a great art teacher. I remember my art teachers. So thankful I had some really good ones.
	♥ 11:42am oshiwoshi: SW is the apostle of love
	♥ 11:42am Analog Nights: Secret Life of Plants is fantastic!
	♥ 11:44am Mike W: Another birthday to celebrate is Karen Pryor, who is 90 today. She pioneered bringing clicker training to dogs and other animals, improving the welfare of countless sentient beings (including some humans) over the past several decades. Every good trainer has read this book, but it’s not a training manual and is in fact written accessibly for anyone who has pets — any animal — and has ever wondered about their behavior and how we can support it, modify it, celebrate it, etc. Highest possible recommendation for interested peoples: shop.clickertraining.com...
	11:48am Susan See: Thank you for reminding me, Trouble. I really do want to see the Syl Johnson documentary. I missed what you said about getting in the running.
	♥ 11:48am HyperDose: omg Rodriguez 😍😍😍
	11:50am Ray from Clifton: Not to sound pretentious, but I knew about Sixto before the documentary. He was on my high school iPod surf playlist
	♥ 11:50am HyperDose: I'm so happy he got the recognition he deserved after all that time. What a humble dude.
	♥ 11:51am paddy in matawan: oh wow I forgout about this doc!
	♥ 11:51am βrian: The subterranean sway is soon to be underway: Continental Subway with David Dichelle wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:51am Franco Twinkie: Won't you hurry? Sixto my man!
	♥ 11:51am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Excellent show, thank you...
	♥ 11:51am prof.fuzz: that reverb over in the right speaker...
	♥ 11:51am Zipperhead7: Gotta take the dawg out now. thanks for the great show, Trouble! It's always a positive experience
	♥ 11:52am Marley P. Dogg: Trouble - really great show today! (As always!)
	♥ 11:53am Edison Mausoleum: I have been playing this album on repeat for the past week! Love this track
	♥ 11:53am chresti: Thanks Trouble, no need to hurry, no no no!
	♥ 11:53am Bill K: Wow, thank you for playing my new favorite song!
	11:53am kevlicki: Great tribute to Stevie and enjoyable show today Trouble!
	♥ 11:54am HyperDose: @morphe Light in the Attic did the re-release, so no doubt it was remixed/remastered
