	♥ 9:28am Zipperhead7: Good morning troubled modernists! When I go to the grocery, I pick up a sack for the local food bank and Ms. Zip gets a text with what was rung up on her frequent shopper card. So last night she accused me of gorging on beef-a-roni in her absence
	♥ 9:28am Trouble: that's fabulous @ zipperhead
	9:29am Meesalikeu: we are partly sunny today in staten island, but were fogged out all day yesterday. it was pretty romantic hearing all the boat and staten island ferry foghorns. relaxing actually.
	♥ 9:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and people of Earth. Wanted to see Mars collide with the moon last night, but it was too cloudy.
	♥ 9:30am Mike W: during my brief time using sp$tify i noticed they had kind of a lot of Sylvia Plath recordings deep in there, these recordings are out there
	♥ 9:30am Webhamster Henry: I think people still bounce lasers off that laser reflector.
	♥ 9:32am captain beef fart: ...trying to smoke a rubber cigar...

	9:32am Meesalikeu: @Mikw W— thats very interesting. what a voice. they have another 3 mos free deal going, i mite try it out this time.
	♥ 9:33am Handy Haversack: Meesalikeu, are you in St. George? A couple of weeks back, I got to do a "ridealong" on the SI ferry up in the wheelhouse(s) with the captain and crew. Totally fascinating.
	9:34am hendrix wolfbat: Ooh this song is fun.
	♥ 9:34am Trouble: whoa@ handy! how did you mange to scoot in there? i would love to do that. in my imaginary life i am a ferry captain
	♥ 9:35am captain beef fart: If I could do it all over I'd be a bay pilot
	♥ 9:35am PaulRobeson1922: GReAT Radio! Wow! Good morningg from Industry City
	♥ 9:36am Handy Haversack: Trouble, the Harbor Operations Board reached out to connect the "recreational" paddle community with the NYC Ferry company (Hornblower -- for now) and the SI ferry people (DOT). Sort of a "see how the other half sees things" exchange and chance to talk safety and shared harbor.
	♥ 9:36am Webhamster Henry: I hope this ends with birds as they splashdown.
	♥ 9:37am Trouble: very cool idea@handy

	♥ 9:42am steveo: that percussion is sneaky
	♥ 9:43am steveo: Neat-o, HH
	♥ 9:47am chresti: Good Morning from the earlier morning!
	♥ 9:47am Zipperhead7: Callas! Diva of divas!
	♥ 9:47am steveo: wow segue
	9:47am Dances with Moomins: Diva
	♥ 9:48am oshiwoshi: @Zipperhead7: i see what you did there
	9:48am jamesie: How lovely and sweet Maria Callas is goosepimples, love at ya L. xxx

	♥ 10:00am WoodsOfMaine: Diva - my favorite film.
	♥ 10:01am melinda: feels monumental to me, but perhaps we're a minority. More than a blip for sure.
	10:01am Smacky: 'Diva', more 80s than the 80s. Fave.
	♥ 10:01am andosteinmetz: Perfect movie
	10:01am Doc from Memphis: Diva one of my favorite movies
	♥ 10:02am steveo: maria callas in the car turns it into a soundtrack, like taxi driver part V or something
	10:02am Meesalikeu: yes diva was a very popular movie with the ‘ol arthouse movie crowd. or at least my crowd. betty blue even more so. the director passed away just this year.
	10:03am Doc from Memphis: Diva gets shown from time to time on Criterion Channel
	♥ 10:03am Uleeshuh TN: yes, loved Sylvia's voice.
	♥ 10:04am Roberto: My friend made me watch Diva on VHS in the '80s. I recall not really getting it.
	10:06am P-90: STORK/TROUBLE SMACKDOWN?!!!
	♥ 10:08am Trouble: only for publicity sake@ p-90. he's really a sweet guy
	10:08am headcleaner: I thought Stork was terrestrially in Münster. (Which is almost kind of an anti-Berlin)
	♥ 10:08am Handy Haversack: Trouble, I can't remember if I told you or just meant to tell you, but a new record store opened in Greenpoint, BK: Razor-n-Tape. It's a label, and this is their retail location. Some used stuff but mostly their own and related musics. Lots of I guess "world disco" for lack of a better term. K8 and I looked around in there and both came out saying "Trouble would love this place." djmag.com...
	♥ 10:10am Trouble: thanks@ handy! super cool, i will vist!! i love an interesting record shop
	♥ 10:11am Trouble: oops@ headcleaner, that could be it
	♥ 10:12am chresti: I listen to Stork's show on Sundays. I remember he said something about taking a break.
	♥ 10:13am Handy Haversack: If you come to Greenpoint, Trouble, let us know. Lunch or coffee or a drink is on us!
	10:14am katharsis: Hellos Trouble and modernists
	10:14am mb: Aloha DJ Trouble. Hey all..
	♥ 10:14am Trouble: will do @ handy! sounds great!
	♥ 10:16am alanr: Glad this cultural Jew/atheist survived much of the first hour, such is the season (and now living in Mexico, a very Catholic country)...not complaining, tis the season, again! Besos!!
	♥ 10:16am Phillippe: I woke up totally stressed out, but this set is doing wonders in settling me down. Thank you, trouble!
	♥ 10:17am Bobby: Feels good in here
	♥ 10:19am dale: beautiful sounds.
	♥ 10:21am winston legthigh: fascinating show trouble, double clicky star. thank you. laters gators!
	10:23am katharsis: Ah this is lovely. First day bringing my speaker to work. My fellow vendor is really cranking up her christian rock recently. I mean I’ll listen to anything but after about an hour of that I need some variety at least.
	♥ 10:23am chresti: I'm drinking my second cup of happiness..
	10:26am Meesalikeu: @alanr - actually it sounds like you are complaining 😅 where are you way down mexico way? san miguel de allende?
	♥ 10:26am Trouble: thanks for all the good vibes, I am trying to work off the positives of tuesday's election and overcome all the other crazy
	10:26am Andres: Bill Withers instro version gonna make you sing along! :)
	♥ 10:28am Ken From Hyde Park: I saw a car last night with Georgia plates and felt compelled to give them a congratulatory honk.
	10:29am katharsis: Cheers Chresti. I just burned the foof out of my mouth on my first sip of tea. I pretty much do this every morning.
	10:30am katharsis: moon mars occultation was lovely
	♥ 10:30am love2laf: Must pause work to pop out of lurk and say Trouble you are playing a brilliant set of music today. Happy Junior Friday to all the troubled!
	♥ 10:30am alanr: @Meesalikeu I live in Mexico City. San Miguel is pretty, but its more too gringo for me. Not complaining at all about living here!!!
	♥ 10:31am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers...
	♥ 10:31am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	♥ 10:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Katharsis can you get Bluetooth earbuds to drown out the Xtian rock?
	♥ 10:34am Andrew Waterloo: This is a fun track (Aspegen)
	♥ 10:34am northguineahills: I've spent xmas in Pachuca. Europe is much more christmassy then Mexico (at least where I have been).
	♥ 10:35am Handy Haversack: "More than 1,000 New York Times employees are staging a one-day walkout today, after contract negotiations between management and the staff union—which have dragged on for more than a year—broke down over management's refusal to meet the union's demands on issues like increasing the salary floor and raising wages to match inflation. As a show of solidarity, the New York Times Guild is calling on people to stage a one-day boycott of all Times products (that includes Wordle, everyone!). " hellgatenyc.com...
	♥ 10:35am Vivian: @alanr, can you share details on the cost of living down in Mx City? We're thinking about moving to Mx, researching places to live.
	♥ 10:35am Andrew Waterloo: Spelling mistake in Riding through
	♥ 10:38am Webhamster Henry: Hammered Dulcimer Alert!
	♥ 10:38am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Good. My BIL actually writes overseas stuff for the NYT and it is NOT a living wage, never was, and what they pay per article is criminally low. PS same thing for the Village Voice back when it was operational, a zillion years ago my brother dated a guy in advertising there.
	♥ 10:38am Trouble: thanks@handy!! that is important to note!!
	10:41am Alex in NJ via KY: Great set !!!! Trouble
	♥ 10:41am Handy Haversack: Some coworkers and I have been going down every week to cheer on the striking HarperCollins workers, just a block from the WTC PATH station. If anyone is going JC-NYC, it's worth stopping for a few minutes to lend support. www.nplusonemag.com...
	♥ 10:43am Strandlund: This show is why I love WFMU so much!! Thanks Trouble!!
	♥ 10:45am Trouble: merci@ alex in NJ via KY
	♥ 10:45am Trouble: obrigada@ strandlund!
	♥ 10:46am TDK60: Handy, not sure I can get that far south. Next time you go to support the HarperCollins folks, can you grab any leaflet/poster (for saving in an archive?).
	10:47am katharsis: @threemoons i don’t use headphones while working-I need to interact with the potential patrons. She is far enough away. The speaker is working great. On an a side note-at home I use over ear phones. I think the buds would fall out when I was dancing and I like some serious noise cancellation sometimes.
	♥ 10:48am Handy Haversack: Sure, TDK60. I have one here someplace.
	♥ 10:50am Jherweg: Hey trouble , just checking in to say what an inspiring and thoughtful set you’ve put together . Brilliant. Thanks for the master class in free forming a playlist . From one FMU dj to another :) x
	♥ 10:50am Roberto: Yay pointy sisters
	♥ 10:51am Jason from Houston: Dang. This is a good one.
	♥ 10:52am alanr: @Vivian Cost of living is way cheaper (with dollars), but the influx of "gringos" is increasing the rents and possible living spaces for Mexicans. I had been coming here (CDMX) since 2006 (I had a Mex BF for 7 years) and I accumulated mucho friends and connections. Just keep that in mind in terms of displacement. All depends on what kind of community and experience you desire.
	♥ 10:52am Trouble: very nice of you to say @ Jherweg!
	♥ 10:52am Polyus: Oh this is neat
	♥ 10:53am Jeff Golick: I'd like to +1 @Jherweg's comment.
	♥ 10:54am Franco Twinkie: Bob Welch!
	♥ 10:54am Polyus: I think this is the first Fleetwood Mac song I can recall hearing on radio as a little kid.
	♥ 10:55am Zipperhead7: Today's show has been a masterclass in freeform radio. I don't know how you do it week after week, but you do! And we all appreciate it.
	♥ 10:55am Strandlund: This just gets better and better!!
	♥ 10:56am Strandlund: Totally Agree with you, Zipperhead7!!
	♥ 10:58am alanr: ...but WFMU remains my primary soundtrack when I am home working on stuff, listening to Trouble and especially the Drummer Stream!
	10:58am Wilson in SO: Man I loved that little pepper seed buried in there!
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: @zipperhead: muchos gracias! i dont think of it as free form on purpose, i just think of it as pushing the sounds around and seeing what shakes out
	♥ 11:03am Vivian: Alanr- thanks for the info. We're looking for community where gringos would be in the minority. Along with low col, safety is a concern. A friend of ours is looking at the upper west coast of MX- don't have the name on hand.
	♥ 11:06am alanr: @Vivian I am probably not the best source for other parts of Mexico. It's a vast country with a lot of lovely coasts. Better yearly weather elsewhere than Mexico city, where the air is poorer, especially the next few months.
	♥ 11:06am Webhamster Henry: Today is the 50th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 17, the last of the manned moon flights. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 11:08am oshiwoshi: The amazingness is evident from the first bar
	♥ 11:10am chresti: Guaymas? @Vivian
	11:11am joe: Me too re Sault!!!
	11:13am Reno D: Happiness is a thing called Joe Locke.
	♥ 11:17am Trouble: wow! that is a serious coincidence!!! i had no idea @ henry
	♥ 11:20am Vivian: @chresti, not sure. I have it written down somewhere. When we first discussed it, my friend heard about the town from her LA mother, so she said the name with a french accent.
	11:24am xtsayreeeee: Was just listening to this last week! Give me any no-harmonica Stevie ❤️
	♥ 11:27am Trouble: howdy@xt!! no hating on any part of the wonder who is stevie
	11:32am wind: I love this trouble!
	♥ 11:32am happymaan: Great show today!
	♥ 11:32am paddy in matawan: Lovely show, T!
	♥ 11:33am Trouble: any body know if this is 10 cc?
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: I do not. But I do know that World Cup 94 is one of the great pinball games of all time.
	♥ 11:33am Zipperhead7: Speaking of Stevie, here's a terrific live show from 1984 you can download: albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com...
	11:35am pot8o: @Trouble couldnt find anything from a quick glance at the liner notes & discogs, maybe mark it down as unknown for now?
	♥ 11:39am Yes: morning yall
	♥ 11:39am Wind: Morning Yes!
	♥ 11:39am drr: I guess this Augustus Pablo makes up for the no-harmonica Stevie Wonder...
	11:40am stegou: @trouble: Funk City seems to be the B side of Boys In Blue, fab supporters song done by 10cc and Man City at Strawberry Studios in Manchester.
	♥ 11:40am drr: (I prefer no-harmonica Bob Dylan myself.)
	♥ 11:42am Zipperhead7: When I talked to my pop music class about reggae a few years back, I mentioned King Tubby and the class cracked up over his handle
	11:43am ryansterlingvirtue: Outstanding show today
	♥ 11:43am Trouble: gracias@ stegou. there was no credit an the wacky cd i played
	♥ 11:44am Trouble: gracias @ ryan, paddy and happyman!
	♥ 11:47am paddy in matawan: xoxo
	♥ 11:48am ldbl: impossible to go wrong with Taeko Ohnuki !!
	11:51am katharsis: Thanks trouble and all.
	♥ 11:51am Handy Haversack: Fantastic show today, Trouble! Many thanks. Stay Troubled, everyone.
	11:53am pot8o: thanks trouble!
	♥ 11:54am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning! vive la revolution!
	11:55am P-90: jherweg @10:50 said it all. Nothing to add. Thanks @DJ Trouble!
	♥ 11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. All glory and honor to freeform! It is the way!
	11:56am abbazabba: Thanks Trouble! I loved today's show
	11:57am bradford: thanks Trouble!
	♥ 11:57am Zipperhead7: Thanks, Trouble! Peace, sistahs and bruddahs!
	♥ 11:57am Jason from Houston: Thank you, Trouble. Bad ass sounds.
	♥ 11:58am bk845: Charlotte Adigery is my newfound love!
	♥ 11:58am bk845: Matt Warwick played their song "It Hit Me" on Tuesday. I'd never heard of them before.
	♥ 11:59am bk845: Anyway, great show Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am listener james from westwood: Many thanks, Trouble!

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from December 8, 2022

View Trouble's profile

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.

	♥ 9:30am Webhamster Henry: I think people still bounce lasers off that laser reflector.

	9:32am Meesalikeu: @Mikw W— thats very interesting. what a voice. they have another 3 mos free deal going, i mite try it out this time.
	♥ 9:33am Handy Haversack: Meesalikeu, are you in St. George? A couple of weeks back, I got to do a "ridealong" on the SI ferry up in the wheelhouse(s) with the captain and crew. Totally fascinating.
	9:34am hendrix wolfbat: Ooh this song is fun.

	♥ 9:36am Handy Haversack: Trouble, the Harbor Operations Board reached out to connect the "recreational" paddle community with the NYC Ferry company (Hornblower -- for now) and the SI ferry people (DOT). Sort of a "see how the other half sees things" exchange and chance to talk safety and shared harbor.

	♥ 10:00am WoodsOfMaine: Diva - my favorite film.
	♥ 10:01am melinda: feels monumental to me, but perhaps we're a minority. More than a blip for sure.
	10:01am Smacky: 'Diva', more 80s than the 80s. Fave.
	♥ 10:01am andosteinmetz: Perfect movie
	10:01am Doc from Memphis: Diva one of my favorite movies
	♥ 10:02am steveo: maria callas in the car turns it into a soundtrack, like taxi driver part V or something
	10:02am Meesalikeu: yes diva was a very popular movie with the ‘ol arthouse movie crowd. or at least my crowd. betty blue even more so. the director passed away just this year.
	10:03am Doc from Memphis: Diva gets shown from time to time on Criterion Channel

	♥ 10:08am Trouble: only for publicity sake@ p-90. he's really a sweet guy
	10:08am headcleaner: I thought Stork was terrestrially in Münster. (Which is almost kind of an anti-Berlin)
	♥ 10:08am Handy Haversack: Trouble, I can't remember if I told you or just meant to tell you, but a new record store opened in Greenpoint, BK: Razor-n-Tape. It's a label, and this is their retail location. Some used stuff but mostly their own and related musics. Lots of I guess "world disco" for lack of a better term. K8 and I looked around in there and both came out saying "Trouble would love this place." djmag.com...
	♥ 10:10am Trouble: thanks@ handy! super cool, i will vist!! i love an interesting record shop
	♥ 10:11am Trouble: oops@ headcleaner, that could be it
	♥ 10:12am chresti: I listen to Stork's show on Sundays. I remember he said something about taking a break.

	10:14am katharsis: Hellos Trouble and modernists
	10:14am mb: Aloha DJ Trouble. Hey all..
	♥ 10:14am Trouble: will do @ handy! sounds great!
	♥ 10:16am alanr: Glad this cultural Jew/atheist survived much of the first hour, such is the season (and now living in Mexico, a very Catholic country)...not complaining, tis the season, again! Besos!!
	♥ 10:16am Phillippe: I woke up totally stressed out, but this set is doing wonders in settling me down. Thank you, trouble!

	♥ 10:19am dale: beautiful sounds.
	♥ 10:21am winston legthigh: fascinating show trouble, double clicky star. thank you. laters gators!
	10:23am katharsis: Ah this is lovely. First day bringing my speaker to work. My fellow vendor is really cranking up her christian rock recently. I mean I’ll listen to anything but after about an hour of that I need some variety at least.
	♥ 10:23am chresti: I'm drinking my second cup of happiness..
	10:26am Meesalikeu: @alanr - actually it sounds like you are complaining 😅 where are you way down mexico way? san miguel de allende?
	♥ 10:26am Trouble: thanks for all the good vibes, I am trying to work off the positives of tuesday's election and overcome all the other crazy
	10:26am Andres: Bill Withers instro version gonna make you sing along! :)

	10:29am katharsis: Cheers Chresti. I just burned the foof out of my mouth on my first sip of tea. I pretty much do this every morning.
	10:30am katharsis: moon mars occultation was lovely
	♥ 10:30am love2laf: Must pause work to pop out of lurk and say Trouble you are playing a brilliant set of music today. Happy Junior Friday to all the troubled!
	♥ 10:30am alanr: @Meesalikeu I live in Mexico City. San Miguel is pretty, but its more too gringo for me. Not complaining at all about living here!!!
	♥ 10:31am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers...
	♥ 10:31am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	♥ 10:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Katharsis can you get Bluetooth earbuds to drown out the Xtian rock?
	♥ 10:34am Andrew Waterloo: This is a fun track (Aspegen)
	♥ 10:34am northguineahills: I've spent xmas in Pachuca. Europe is much more christmassy then Mexico (at least where I have been).
	♥ 10:35am Handy Haversack: "More than 1,000 New York Times employees are staging a one-day walkout today, after contract negotiations between management and the staff union—which have dragged on for more than a year—broke down over management's refusal to meet the union's demands on issues like increasing the salary floor and raising wages to match inflation. As a show of solidarity, the New York Times Guild is calling on people to stage a one-day boycott of all Times products (that includes Wordle, everyone!). " hellgatenyc.com...
	♥ 10:35am Vivian: @alanr, can you share details on the cost of living down in Mx City? We're thinking about moving to Mx, researching places to live.
	♥ 10:35am Andrew Waterloo: Spelling mistake in Riding through
	♥ 10:38am Webhamster Henry: Hammered Dulcimer Alert!
	♥ 10:38am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @HH Good. My BIL actually writes overseas stuff for the NYT and it is NOT a living wage, never was, and what they pay per article is criminally low. PS same thing for the Village Voice back when it was operational, a zillion years ago my brother dated a guy in advertising there.
	♥ 10:38am Trouble: thanks@handy!! that is important to note!!
	10:41am Alex in NJ via KY: Great set !!!! Trouble
	♥ 10:41am Handy Haversack: Some coworkers and I have been going down every week to cheer on the striking HarperCollins workers, just a block from the WTC PATH station. If anyone is going JC-NYC, it's worth stopping for a few minutes to lend support. www.nplusonemag.com...
	♥ 10:43am Strandlund: This show is why I love WFMU so much!! Thanks Trouble!!
	♥ 10:45am Trouble: merci@ alex in NJ via KY
	♥ 10:45am Trouble: obrigada@ strandlund!
	♥ 10:46am TDK60: Handy, not sure I can get that far south. Next time you go to support the HarperCollins folks, can you grab any leaflet/poster (for saving in an archive?).
	10:47am katharsis: @threemoons i don’t use headphones while working-I need to interact with the potential patrons. She is far enough away. The speaker is working great. On an a side note-at home I use over ear phones. I think the buds would fall out when I was dancing and I like some serious noise cancellation sometimes.
	♥ 10:48am Handy Haversack: Sure, TDK60. I have one here someplace.
	♥ 10:50am Jherweg: Hey trouble , just checking in to say what an inspiring and thoughtful set you’ve put together . Brilliant. Thanks for the master class in free forming a playlist . From one FMU dj to another :) x
	♥ 10:50am Roberto: Yay pointy sisters
	♥ 10:51am Jason from Houston: Dang. This is a good one.
	♥ 10:52am alanr: @Vivian Cost of living is way cheaper (with dollars), but the influx of "gringos" is increasing the rents and possible living spaces for Mexicans. I had been coming here (CDMX) since 2006 (I had a Mex BF for 7 years) and I accumulated mucho friends and connections. Just keep that in mind in terms of displacement. All depends on what kind of community and experience you desire.
	♥ 10:52am Trouble: very nice of you to say @ Jherweg!
	♥ 10:52am Polyus: Oh this is neat
	♥ 10:53am Jeff Golick: I'd like to +1 @Jherweg's comment.
	♥ 10:54am Franco Twinkie: Bob Welch!
	♥ 10:54am Polyus: I think this is the first Fleetwood Mac song I can recall hearing on radio as a little kid.
	♥ 10:55am Zipperhead7: Today's show has been a masterclass in freeform radio. I don't know how you do it week after week, but you do! And we all appreciate it.
	♥ 10:55am Strandlund: This just gets better and better!!
	♥ 10:56am Strandlund: Totally Agree with you, Zipperhead7!!
	♥ 10:58am alanr: ...but WFMU remains my primary soundtrack when I am home working on stuff, listening to Trouble and especially the Drummer Stream!
	10:58am Wilson in SO: Man I loved that little pepper seed buried in there!
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: @zipperhead: muchos gracias! i dont think of it as free form on purpose, i just think of it as pushing the sounds around and seeing what shakes out
	♥ 11:03am Vivian: Alanr- thanks for the info. We're looking for community where gringos would be in the minority. Along with low col, safety is a concern. A friend of ours is looking at the upper west coast of MX- don't have the name on hand.
	♥ 11:06am alanr: @Vivian I am probably not the best source for other parts of Mexico. It's a vast country with a lot of lovely coasts. Better yearly weather elsewhere than Mexico city, where the air is poorer, especially the next few months.
	♥ 11:06am Webhamster Henry: Today is the 50th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 17, the last of the manned moon flights. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 11:08am oshiwoshi: The amazingness is evident from the first bar
	♥ 11:10am chresti: Guaymas? @Vivian
	11:11am joe: Me too re Sault!!!
	11:13am Reno D: Happiness is a thing called Joe Locke.
	♥ 11:17am Trouble: wow! that is a serious coincidence!!! i had no idea @ henry
	♥ 11:20am Vivian: @chresti, not sure. I have it written down somewhere. When we first discussed it, my friend heard about the town from her LA mother, so she said the name with a french accent.
	11:24am xtsayreeeee: Was just listening to this last week! Give me any no-harmonica Stevie ❤️
	♥ 11:27am Trouble: howdy@xt!! no hating on any part of the wonder who is stevie
	11:32am wind: I love this trouble!
	♥ 11:32am happymaan: Great show today!
	♥ 11:32am paddy in matawan: Lovely show, T!
	♥ 11:33am Trouble: any body know if this is 10 cc?
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: I do not. But I do know that World Cup 94 is one of the great pinball games of all time.
	♥ 11:33am Zipperhead7: Speaking of Stevie, here's a terrific live show from 1984 you can download: albumsthatshouldexist.blogspot.com...
	11:35am pot8o: @Trouble couldnt find anything from a quick glance at the liner notes & discogs, maybe mark it down as unknown for now?
	♥ 11:39am Yes: morning yall
	♥ 11:39am Wind: Morning Yes!
	♥ 11:39am drr: I guess this Augustus Pablo makes up for the no-harmonica Stevie Wonder...
	11:40am stegou: @trouble: Funk City seems to be the B side of Boys In Blue, fab supporters song done by 10cc and Man City at Strawberry Studios in Manchester.
	♥ 11:40am drr: (I prefer no-harmonica Bob Dylan myself.)
	♥ 11:42am Zipperhead7: When I talked to my pop music class about reggae a few years back, I mentioned King Tubby and the class cracked up over his handle
	11:43am ryansterlingvirtue: Outstanding show today
	♥ 11:43am Trouble: gracias@ stegou. there was no credit an the wacky cd i played
	♥ 11:44am Trouble: gracias @ ryan, paddy and happyman!

	11:55am P-90: jherweg @10:50 said it all. Nothing to add. Thanks @DJ Trouble!
