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.

Morning, Trouble! I meant to say last week that your show two weeks ago had some awesomely inspirational tracks! I was driving during the show so I wasn't able to comment.

Also, I looked on the Wild Bird web site you talked about but I couldn't find any info on the owl-tagging demo you attended. Do you know, was that a special event or something they offer regularly?

The ham radio conversations? They tend to talk about ham radio a lot...but it's fun they have a system called echolink so I can connect to a repeater to most any country in the world and then transmit from it as if I was there and talk to locals.

Everything on ham radio is public and can not be encrypted/obscured and you need to say your callsign at the beginning of every conversation and once someone has your callsign it's trivial to get their name and address.

@doug Yes there are...there are a lot of reasons to get into ham radio. Prepping/emergency communication draws a lot of people into it...it is dominated by old white guys but luckily not exclusively. We really do try to reach out to get young people involved. If a kid were in high school the amount of scholarships they can apply for just by having a ham license is insane. So many of those go unclaimed.

I've seen that mushroom coffee in health food stores. We don't like mushrooms so we're assuming we wouldn't like the coffee, either.

The anti-disco demonstrations (like the Chicago White Sox promotion) of the late 70’s and other were rooted in anti-gay sentiment. Disco was popular in the gay club scene, and club scenes in general. However, morons focused on the “gay” element and lashed out against disco. Pretty stupid really.

egould: The Disco Demolition was ignorant, hateful and embarrassing. A stain on the history of my city. But I think it's reductive and unfair to say that all disco hating was homophobic. The music was way overhyped, overexposed, overexploited, and a lot of it was frankly terrible. Some people just hated it on aesthetic grounds.

Crownless Gander:

I think there might've been some early fear, too, of the DJ taking over as celebrity from the musician. Rock fans heard disco as overly processed, soulless, and repetitive, because they didn't consider the ability to make people dance a worthwhile consideration in the judgment of popular music.
Avatar This Is The Modern World with Trouble Marathon 2024 Swag For Life Member 11:33am
Karl Ward:

Trouble: exactly. Disco was arguably much more transgressive and challenging than punk. Note that like disco, punk was also quickly sanitized into consumer friendly products while its underground scene kept pushing the boundaries.

I'm not trying to argue, I think you all are 100% right. I am just remembering growing up in the NJ suburbs in the 70s and hearing a lot of really terrible disco, everywhere you went. (The commercialized stuff on the radio, not the cool stuff going on in clubs. I wasn't old enough to go to clubs). Seemed like everyone was trying to cash in which offended my teenage punk sensibilities.

It wasn't until later that I realized there were *good* disco records!! ((And obviously, its fine to not like things, but the violent anti-disco reaction was WAY out of proportion))

Also, for what it's worth, I got beat up several times for being "gay".

Yetz, I heard that "bad" disco too, when there weren't that many choices on my local radio, and so I could understand the "disappointment" of that time. For me, the Disco Demolition was also about, the scary way a crowd can be riled up. . .won't go on about it.

it wasn't just homophobia as bias against disco; I think to a lot of middle America it seemed plastic and part of an alien urban. culture. Like any other popular/commercialized/exploitable art form, it also had its stupid elements, like Rick Dees.

I have probably told this story before, but around 2003 or so I got into a cab late one night in the LES and the cabbie was blasting Bee Gees "More Than a Woman." When I got in he turned it way down and apologized. I said hey man, I love the Bee Gees, and he cranked the hell out of it again and we cruised for the next half hour listening to cranked Bee Gees, singing along. It's a favorite NYC memory.
