	♥ 9:07am StringOFperils: “The worl is ful of things waiting to happen. Thats the meat and boan of it right there. You myt think you can jus go here and there doing nothing. Happening nothing. You cant tho you bleeding cant. You put your self on any road and some thing wil show its self to you. Wanting to happen. Waiting to happen. You myt say, 'I dont want to know.' But 1ce its showt its self to you you wil know wont you. You cant not know no mor. There it is and working in you. You myt try to put a farness be twean you and it only you cant becaws youre carrying it inside you. The waiting to happen aint out there where it ben no more its inside you.” ― Russell Hoban, Riddley Walker
	9:07am Dances with Moomins: Morning to the troubled and The Trouble. It's a modern world out there.
	9:08am Gaston Musella: Totally awesome
	♥ 9:10am Chris J: "Riddley Walker" -- great book!
	♥ 9:11am D Rok: Good morning Trouble; all
	9:11am Miss G: ooooh, I just followed 40 minutes of Ash Ra Tempel Pop Improvisations Live At The ORTF Pop Club - Paris 17 March 1975 from Mary Wing with this, how wonderful! What a beautiful nasty grey morning. . .cheers, all.
	♥ 9:12am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modernairs! Here's a GREAT web page on In C, and the author was inspired by this very orchestration: teropa.info...
	♥ 9:12am Handy Haversack: Ha, well done, TDK60. Oh, I was hanging out with a banjo-playing friend of ours from West Virginia the other night. He has gotten very involved in a music scene in Red Hook that has open mics and concerts. Do you know about it? I am trying to remember what it's called.
	9:15am TDK60: HH: Hi! Where in WV are they from? And Red Hook, Bkln? The Jalopy Theater?
	9:15am headcleaner: Probably Roots + Ruckus @ Jalopy - a fine scene indeed
	♥ 9:17am Zipperhead7: Good morning Troubled Modernists! Searching for something to be cheery about this morning
	♥ 9:17am Trouble: i am taking this from a live performance at the tate museum, google it and you can watch it 'live' as i am
	9:18am headcleaner: This track, washed down with some very strong Darjeeling, is doing the trick for me
	♥ 9:19am Karl Ward: Zipperhead7: This morning I am thankful for strong coffee and minimalism. I can tell headcleaner feels the same way.
	♥ 9:19am Handy Haversack: That's it, TDK60! The Jalopy. And Roots + Ruckus, as headcleaner says! It's all coming back to me now. He's from Charleston, I'm pretty sure, TDK60. We went to college together. K8 and I were thinking of checking out the scene some night when he's going to be playing -- we'll let you know in case you want to make the long trek?
	♥ 9:20am StringOFperils: @webhamsterH > thank you for that link:The notated score w appended audio samples for each section. Taking that to the piano later.
	♥ 9:21am Handy Haversack: Longer days only a week away, Zipperhead7. It's something, at least.
	♥ 9:21am Trouble: I am not exactly cheery but hopeful for the potential to create change in how we act and who we support in the world. If i lose the belief in that then it will be all downhill for me...although some days it is harder than others to believe in that potential
	♥ 9:22am Karl Ward: I found some hope in this NYT article: They Fought the Lawn. And the Lawn Lost. After their homeowner association ordered them to replace their wildlife-friendly plants with turf grass, a Maryland couple sued. They ended up changing state law. www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 9:23am Ike: Meow.
	9:26am headcleaner: Minimalist composition and maximal caffeine - that's how to start the morning
	♥ 9:27am StringOFperils: @Trouble > Hugs (earnest, not creepy)
	9:27am riley: The fact that all humanity has the urge and drive to sing and make music keeps me on the cheery side.
	9:28am Miss G: I'm with riley, DJ Trouble. I wrote in my journal this AM: Since I was a teenager, my favorite of all the prayers (in Pandemic turned to “Gate Gate Para Gate Para Sam Gate Bodhi Swaha”) was “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration” from my girls the Bene Gesserit.
	9:28am TDK60: Let me know when Handy; I'll consider the long trek via tunnel train. Weekends can take a long while.
	9:29am Wind: Great news Karl!!
	9:30am Wind: "...create change in how we act and who we support in the world." Thank you for that sentiment Trouble!
	9:31am katharsis: Hellos trouble and modernists
	9:32am Wind: Where did you find that slippery cat Ike?
	9:32am Carmen: Good morning from Portland Oregon
	♥ 9:37am Zipperhead7: I watched "My Dinner with Andre" last night for the first time in nearly 40 years. I was struck by Shawn's joy in the quotidian as a response to Gregory's apocalypticism (what would he make of social media?!). So many years ago, thinking about the changes I've witnessed in the interim.
	♥ 9:37am Handy Haversack: Great hearing "In C" this morning.
	9:38am Miss G: Loving that video as well <Classical conductor André de Ridder re-imagines Riley’s famous piece with help from members of Africa Express, including innovative African artists Bijou and Adama Koita and Blur frontman Damon Albarn.>
	♥ 9:38am steveo: ears on mind engaged good morning
	9:39am Tara: good morning from foggy rhode island , yeah to the coffee and this set !
	9:42am Quinn02: Love this in c
	♥ 9:42am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble. Only on this station would music like this be allowed, nay demanded. Zipperhead7 love quotidian, also a French daily. Mundane is oft used incorrectly.
	♥ 9:43am Cassettivity: Thank you for this!
	9:45am Creston: WOW!!! This is amazing
	♥ 9:47am Trouble: @tara: i wish i was in foggy rhode, maybe in a large victorian by the beach in jamestown
	♥ 9:47am StringOFperils: A morning raga of a set. An immanent snowstorm. Oneness.
	9:51am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and Everyone.
	♥ 9:52am Megaroni: This vibe is like our weather at the moment -introspective
	9:55am egould: Exercise!
	9:56am P-90: Aloha Trouble, Roger, Mark, et Al
	9:56am Branch in Albuquerque: Trouble, did you wake up today thinking Today I’m gonna BRING IT? Because that’s what’s happening. Grateful for how you level up my take-the-kids-to-school commute every Thursday, much love.
	9:57am pot8o: good morning trouble!
	♥ 9:59am Zipperhead7: The paradoxes of modern life: On the one hand, we have greater cultural pluralism and possibilities than perhaps any time in history -- yet we face the growth of organizations seeking greater regulation and surveillance of social life. We have greater potential for freedom, yet are surrounded by anomie, alienation and nihilism.
	♥ 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and modern menagerie.
	10:00am Miss G: The rain deluge began in Richmond VA last night. The wonderful maintenance guy for our building is on the way to check on the never-ending roof leak through my ceiling into the tub. At least it's not over my bed!
	♥ 10:01am Handy Haversack: Zipperhead7, those are pretty much exactly the themes brought into play in the new Adam Roberts book The This, which I'm enjoying.
	♥ 10:01am Phillippe: good morning. raining buckets in Annapolis, but temp is supposed to go up throughout the day
	♥ 10:01am Webhamster Henry: Well, your shows highlight Alice Coltrane and Nina Simone, so : alternate cuts from them!
	10:04am Glistener MW: R.I.P. Derek Jarman <3
	♥ 10:06am Handy Haversack: I noticed in watching different sources of the WC games (Fox vs. BBC) that Fox's coverage spends a lot of time scanning the crowds for young women, which is just very Fox.
	10:06am Wind: That was beautiful Trouble!
	10:06am Wind: I'm with you! I also ONLY watch the World Cup and major sports events:)
	10:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: seems you know more about football than me…
	♥ 10:07am Webhamster Henry: Hammerd dulcimer alert.
	10:07am Miss G: re: Derek Jarman many films available on Metrograph At Home, a mere $5 a month: metrograph.com...
	♥ 10:07am Cassettivity: Yeah spot on. I was just in Morocco, it was amazing to see the impact the team had on the people. It really is like nothing we have here. It represents so much more than just sport
	♥ 10:08am Handy Haversack: I have really enjoyed this entire series of articles on goals in WC history from Brian Phillips, who is a really skilled writer. But this last one, on Pelé, was deeply touching, I thought: www.theringer.com... The Ringer is owned by Spotify, so get your privacy screens up.
	10:08am Wind: Oh no Miss G, I'm sorry to hear that but thank God you've got help!
	♥ 10:09am Ike: Premium ideas 1. Something political? That would fit! 2. Surprise everyone w/songs with lots of dirty words you can’t play on the radio 3. Steal an idea from a past DJ like Liz Berg and put your own spin on it ;) Apologies if you’ve already done any of these, my memory is rubbish!
	10:09am Wind: Fox is discussing! scanning the crowds for young women?
	♥ 10:11am Ken From Hyde Park: For the premium: Choose a geographical theme. Songs from or about areas that are mountainous, or lakes / rivers. Something along those lines.
	♥ 10:11am Handy Haversack: 2023 Premium: Did You Ever Drink a Cabinet? Songs from and About Rhode Island.
	♥ 10:12am Trouble: thanks @ branch in albuquerque! that made my morning!!
	10:13am AlanR: agree with your observations on the Cup. I now live in a futbol crazy country (mexico), then again, its everywhere but the USA.... for me, France vs Morocco was like one team split into two. Africa wins either way.
	♥ 10:14am Brian in UK: Last year the European football championship finals for men & women were held at Wembley in London. England played in both finals., Before the mens game, yobs without tickets invaded the ground & caused mayhem. England lost. For the womens final later in the year which England won there was negligible trouble. Men have to get drunk to enjoy the game. Go figure.
	♥ 10:14am Zipperhead7: Ah, the groove is lifting my spirits! Yessss!!!
	10:16am Miss G: Thanks @Wind. At least I'm quite warm (he fixed my windows last month, after I told him that in the winter I woke up crying from the cold, as if that's a normal thing. What do I know? My friends in Europe are freezing right now.)
	♥ 10:17am Brian in UK: Apart from Maradona, Messi is the complete player (individual & team) of modern times. More than 1000 goals & assists in 1002 games. A joy to watch.
	10:19am rx scabin: @Trouble 2023 premium: songs about love, hope, and zoning OR songs about love and hope and what to do about them.
	10:20am Adrian in London: Hi Trouble. Late as usual, but being welcomed by Stereolab shows I came in at just the right time.
	10:20am TDK60: 'Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night' was an inspiration to me at the end of the '90s. Such a great album
	♥ 10:20am Brian in UK: Miss G nothing worse than water entering, only frost on the inside of the windows. It is chilly here. Hope the water stays outside.
	10:20am ryansterlingvirtue: Loving todays show
	10:21am abbazabba: Brian in UK - I generally agree with what you said about Messi. BUT, Ronaldinho was the most fun player to watch!
	♥ 10:22am Crownless Gander: @Adrian Same! Sorry I missed In C, though. Happy Thursday, all!
	♥ 10:23am Handy Haversack: Seeing Stereolab this fall was one of the absolute highlights of the year for me.
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: bonjour @adrian!
	♥ 10:25am Brian in UK: abbazabba oh yes he was fun. A little capricious but sports fans like that.
	10:28am headcleaner: This song could have been my life, had things gone differently at a certain juncture
	10:29am Miss G: Oops, have to run right in the middle of Marvin Gaye! Thank you so much DJ Trouble for redeeming the morning. And a final vote for milkweed: Karl Ward, thank you for the link. Over Thanksgiving I talked with a family about milkweed and where to place it in the yard/fields (some toxicity issues) and they showed me a video of a Monarch butterfly hatching in their yard!
	♥ 10:38am steveo: rural ragas; love it
	♥ 10:38am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all! Took a sick/mental health day yesterday, was very much needed. @HH I WISH I had known RE Stereolab; would have called in sick/dead the next day to see them.
	♥ 10:40am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Premium Idea: WFMU Cookbook! Regular Glisteners can send in ONE recipe that they have discussed in-forum. Can be either a PDF or a print on demand thingy from one of the print on demand services....
	♥ 10:41am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Either that or just a really cool T-shirt. NOT white because white T-shirts never stay that way...maybe an all-over bird print on tie dye or blue?
	10:41am pot8o: kinda obvious what my recipe would be
	♥ 10:41am Cassettivity: @wind thats not a fox thing. Fox isn’t generating the feed
	♥ 10:42am Trouble: that is interesting@ three moons. We did a cook book many years ago, where dj's contributed recipes. but this could be interesting...
	♥ 10:42am Handy Haversack: Wearing my new Double Dip Recess shirt today. I usually stick with black WFMU shirts, but this brown is real nice.
	♥ 10:42am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Trouble - thank you! Or if you want to totally go in another direction, WFMU mini rolling tray/scentproof stash bag.
	♥ 10:43am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I may shower today and celebrate this momentous occasion by wearing one of my WFMU shirts. My Pledge Swag and an order showed up; I have yet to rip it open.
	♥ 10:44am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Trouble are any copies of the DJ cookbook still available? PDF?
	♥ 10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Premium idea: Bird poster. Listeners send in sketches / drawings / photos of birds and they are made into a collage.
	10:45am Patrick: Hey Trouble, been a while since I’ve been able to listen live, loving the show per usual!
	♥ 10:46am steveo: Caitlin Keegan's bird beak tee was one of my all-time favorites; would love a reprint as mine turned to dust eons ago
	♥ 10:49am Yes: Good morning everyone
	10:49am Quinn02: I should listen to this show more
	♥ 10:49am captain beef fart: Premium idea: bird refrigerator magnets (sorry if already suggested)
	♥ 10:50am captain beef fart: maybe original Trouble bird art magnets
	10:57am eileen_tooth: Hi
	♥ 10:57am Trouble: these are all super fun ideas! i haven't done a t shirt because we have to kick in $$ to help pay for it and i would just rather give my $ to wfmu. but i will read all of these after show and wow out!!
	♥ 10:58am Handy Haversack: Or a set of LP-sized cardstock placards suitable for carrying at protests that have Trouble's messages of hope, anger, and action on them (and maybe birds too)?
	♥ 11:02am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: WFMU Bird rubber stamp? WFMU Bird sticker sheet?
	11:03am Glistener MW: !!! No no, I would be all over an ethereal / abstract / film-soundtrack like Marathon CD! :)
	11:09am marcus in ATX: I’m literally synth shopping and this is pushing me on the purchase :) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
	11:10am Gaston Musella: WFMU RULES
	♥ 11:10am Webhamster Henry: Premium idea: Trouble's Big book of contemporary art! basically like the art you post each week with Trouble flavored commentary, and links. Done with collaboration of WFMU listener book/media designers because I know that's not in your wheelhouse.
	11:10am Gaston Musella: WFMU RULES
	11:10am marcus in ATX: @gaston YES
	♥ 11:11am Webhamster Henry: I do dulcimer/synth combos too! vimeo.com...
	♥ 11:16am Trouble: aww@ stteveo. i will let caitlin know how much you loved that t. She is a sweetie!
	♥ 11:19am Trouble: anyone have the link to the google doc that came out of our reading suggestions? that should be on my homepage: share the magic!
	♥ 11:20am Cassettivity: Gosh this is a killer set
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: Here it is, copied from Yetz's profile: docs.google.com...
	♥ 11:23am Trouble: thanks @ handy!!
	♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: Just added The This to it, too. Now I have to go wash my digital hands after touching Google. Wait, are all hands digital? Everybody look at your hands!
	11:27am Wind: The Modern World with Trouble is magical!
	11:29am Wind: go wash my digital hands

	11:45am Wind: Re: nature and protecting it...if anyone is interested ...check out Derrick Jensen's work as well.
	11:45am Eugene R.: Heard Ms. Orton play live last month, and her voice is really strong in person. Good audience vibes must be a factor.
	11:47am oshiwoshi: TUNE!
	♥ 11:49am Zipperhead7: Thanks for lifting me out of the Slough of Despond this morning, Trouble. Music heals!
	♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: Trouble, delightful show.
	♥ 11:50am Adrian in London: Did you know that Bobby Oroza is set to play the US next yer? Mainly the southern states, I think. His album has been one of my favourites this year.

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.

	♥ 9:11am D Rok: Good morning Trouble; all
	9:11am Miss G: ooooh, I just followed 40 minutes of Ash Ra Tempel Pop Improvisations Live At The ORTF Pop Club - Paris 17 March 1975 from Mary Wing with this, how wonderful! What a beautiful nasty grey morning. . .cheers, all.
	♥ 9:12am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modernairs! Here's a GREAT web page on In C, and the author was inspired by this very orchestration: teropa.info...
	♥ 9:12am Handy Haversack: Ha, well done, TDK60. Oh, I was hanging out with a banjo-playing friend of ours from West Virginia the other night. He has gotten very involved in a music scene in Red Hook that has open mics and concerts. Do you know about it? I am trying to remember what it's called.
	9:15am TDK60: HH: Hi! Where in WV are they from? And Red Hook, Bkln? The Jalopy Theater?
	9:15am headcleaner: Probably Roots + Ruckus @ Jalopy - a fine scene indeed
	♥ 9:17am Zipperhead7: Good morning Troubled Modernists! Searching for something to be cheery about this morning
	♥ 9:17am Trouble: i am taking this from a live performance at the tate museum, google it and you can watch it 'live' as i am
	9:18am headcleaner: This track, washed down with some very strong Darjeeling, is doing the trick for me
	♥ 9:19am Karl Ward: Zipperhead7: This morning I am thankful for strong coffee and minimalism. I can tell headcleaner feels the same way.
	♥ 9:19am Handy Haversack: That's it, TDK60! The Jalopy. And Roots + Ruckus, as headcleaner says! It's all coming back to me now. He's from Charleston, I'm pretty sure, TDK60. We went to college together. K8 and I were thinking of checking out the scene some night when he's going to be playing -- we'll let you know in case you want to make the long trek?
	♥ 9:20am StringOFperils: @webhamsterH > thank you for that link:The notated score w appended audio samples for each section. Taking that to the piano later.
	♥ 9:21am Handy Haversack: Longer days only a week away, Zipperhead7. It's something, at least.
	♥ 9:21am Trouble: I am not exactly cheery but hopeful for the potential to create change in how we act and who we support in the world. If i lose the belief in that then it will be all downhill for me...although some days it is harder than others to believe in that potential
	♥ 9:22am Karl Ward: I found some hope in this NYT article: They Fought the Lawn. And the Lawn Lost. After their homeowner association ordered them to replace their wildlife-friendly plants with turf grass, a Maryland couple sued. They ended up changing state law. www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 9:23am Ike: Meow.
	9:26am headcleaner: Minimalist composition and maximal caffeine - that's how to start the morning
	♥ 9:27am StringOFperils: @Trouble > Hugs (earnest, not creepy)
	9:27am riley: The fact that all humanity has the urge and drive to sing and make music keeps me on the cheery side.
	9:28am Miss G: I'm with riley, DJ Trouble. I wrote in my journal this AM: Since I was a teenager, my favorite of all the prayers (in Pandemic turned to “Gate Gate Para Gate Para Sam Gate Bodhi Swaha”) was “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration” from my girls the Bene Gesserit.
	9:28am TDK60: Let me know when Handy; I'll consider the long trek via tunnel train. Weekends can take a long while.
	9:29am Wind: Great news Karl!!
	9:30am Wind: "...create change in how we act and who we support in the world." Thank you for that sentiment Trouble!
	9:31am katharsis: Hellos trouble and modernists
	9:32am Wind: Where did you find that slippery cat Ike?
	9:32am Carmen: Good morning from Portland Oregon
	♥ 9:37am Zipperhead7: I watched "My Dinner with Andre" last night for the first time in nearly 40 years. I was struck by Shawn's joy in the quotidian as a response to Gregory's apocalypticism (what would he make of social media?!). So many years ago, thinking about the changes I've witnessed in the interim.
	♥ 9:37am Handy Haversack: Great hearing "In C" this morning.
	9:38am Miss G: Loving that video as well <Classical conductor André de Ridder re-imagines Riley’s famous piece with help from members of Africa Express, including innovative African artists Bijou and Adama Koita and Blur frontman Damon Albarn.>
	♥ 9:38am steveo: ears on mind engaged good morning
	9:39am Tara: good morning from foggy rhode island , yeah to the coffee and this set !
	9:42am Quinn02: Love this in c
	♥ 9:42am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble. Only on this station would music like this be allowed, nay demanded. Zipperhead7 love quotidian, also a French daily. Mundane is oft used incorrectly.
	♥ 9:43am Cassettivity: Thank you for this!
	9:45am Creston: WOW!!! This is amazing
	♥ 9:47am Trouble: @tara: i wish i was in foggy rhode, maybe in a large victorian by the beach in jamestown
	♥ 9:47am StringOFperils: A morning raga of a set. An immanent snowstorm. Oneness.
	9:51am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and Everyone.
	♥ 9:52am Megaroni: This vibe is like our weather at the moment -introspective
	9:55am egould: Exercise!
	9:56am P-90: Aloha Trouble, Roger, Mark, et Al
	9:56am Branch in Albuquerque: Trouble, did you wake up today thinking Today I’m gonna BRING IT? Because that’s what’s happening. Grateful for how you level up my take-the-kids-to-school commute every Thursday, much love.
	9:57am pot8o: good morning trouble!
	♥ 9:59am Zipperhead7: The paradoxes of modern life: On the one hand, we have greater cultural pluralism and possibilities than perhaps any time in history -- yet we face the growth of organizations seeking greater regulation and surveillance of social life. We have greater potential for freedom, yet are surrounded by anomie, alienation and nihilism.
	♥ 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and modern menagerie.
	10:00am Miss G: The rain deluge began in Richmond VA last night. The wonderful maintenance guy for our building is on the way to check on the never-ending roof leak through my ceiling into the tub. At least it's not over my bed!
	♥ 10:01am Handy Haversack: Zipperhead7, those are pretty much exactly the themes brought into play in the new Adam Roberts book The This, which I'm enjoying.
	♥ 10:01am Phillippe: good morning. raining buckets in Annapolis, but temp is supposed to go up throughout the day
	♥ 10:01am Webhamster Henry: Well, your shows highlight Alice Coltrane and Nina Simone, so : alternate cuts from them!
	10:04am Glistener MW: R.I.P. Derek Jarman <3
	♥ 10:06am Handy Haversack: I noticed in watching different sources of the WC games (Fox vs. BBC) that Fox's coverage spends a lot of time scanning the crowds for young women, which is just very Fox.
	10:06am Wind: That was beautiful Trouble!
	10:06am Wind: I'm with you! I also ONLY watch the World Cup and major sports events:)
	10:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: seems you know more about football than me…
	♥ 10:07am Webhamster Henry: Hammerd dulcimer alert.
	10:07am Miss G: re: Derek Jarman many films available on Metrograph At Home, a mere $5 a month: metrograph.com...
	♥ 10:07am Cassettivity: Yeah spot on. I was just in Morocco, it was amazing to see the impact the team had on the people. It really is like nothing we have here. It represents so much more than just sport
	♥ 10:08am Handy Haversack: I have really enjoyed this entire series of articles on goals in WC history from Brian Phillips, who is a really skilled writer. But this last one, on Pelé, was deeply touching, I thought: www.theringer.com... The Ringer is owned by Spotify, so get your privacy screens up.
	10:08am Wind: Oh no Miss G, I'm sorry to hear that but thank God you've got help!
	♥ 10:09am Ike: Premium ideas 1. Something political? That would fit! 2. Surprise everyone w/songs with lots of dirty words you can’t play on the radio 3. Steal an idea from a past DJ like Liz Berg and put your own spin on it ;) Apologies if you’ve already done any of these, my memory is rubbish!
	10:09am Wind: Fox is discussing! scanning the crowds for young women?
	♥ 10:11am Ken From Hyde Park: For the premium: Choose a geographical theme. Songs from or about areas that are mountainous, or lakes / rivers. Something along those lines.
	♥ 10:11am Handy Haversack: 2023 Premium: Did You Ever Drink a Cabinet? Songs from and About Rhode Island.
	♥ 10:12am Trouble: thanks @ branch in albuquerque! that made my morning!!
	10:13am AlanR: agree with your observations on the Cup. I now live in a futbol crazy country (mexico), then again, its everywhere but the USA.... for me, France vs Morocco was like one team split into two. Africa wins either way.
	♥ 10:14am Brian in UK: Last year the European football championship finals for men & women were held at Wembley in London. England played in both finals., Before the mens game, yobs without tickets invaded the ground & caused mayhem. England lost. For the womens final later in the year which England won there was negligible trouble. Men have to get drunk to enjoy the game. Go figure.
	♥ 10:14am Zipperhead7: Ah, the groove is lifting my spirits! Yessss!!!
	10:16am Miss G: Thanks @Wind. At least I'm quite warm (he fixed my windows last month, after I told him that in the winter I woke up crying from the cold, as if that's a normal thing. What do I know? My friends in Europe are freezing right now.)
	♥ 10:17am Brian in UK: Apart from Maradona, Messi is the complete player (individual & team) of modern times. More than 1000 goals & assists in 1002 games. A joy to watch.
	10:19am rx scabin: @Trouble 2023 premium: songs about love, hope, and zoning OR songs about love and hope and what to do about them.
	10:20am Adrian in London: Hi Trouble. Late as usual, but being welcomed by Stereolab shows I came in at just the right time.
	10:20am TDK60: 'Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night' was an inspiration to me at the end of the '90s. Such a great album
	♥ 10:20am Brian in UK: Miss G nothing worse than water entering, only frost on the inside of the windows. It is chilly here. Hope the water stays outside.
	10:20am ryansterlingvirtue: Loving todays show
	10:21am abbazabba: Brian in UK - I generally agree with what you said about Messi. BUT, Ronaldinho was the most fun player to watch!
	♥ 10:22am Crownless Gander: @Adrian Same! Sorry I missed In C, though. Happy Thursday, all!
	♥ 10:23am Handy Haversack: Seeing Stereolab this fall was one of the absolute highlights of the year for me.
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: bonjour @adrian!
	♥ 10:25am Brian in UK: abbazabba oh yes he was fun. A little capricious but sports fans like that.
	10:28am headcleaner: This song could have been my life, had things gone differently at a certain juncture
	10:29am Miss G: Oops, have to run right in the middle of Marvin Gaye! Thank you so much DJ Trouble for redeeming the morning. And a final vote for milkweed: Karl Ward, thank you for the link. Over Thanksgiving I talked with a family about milkweed and where to place it in the yard/fields (some toxicity issues) and they showed me a video of a Monarch butterfly hatching in their yard!
	♥ 10:38am steveo: rural ragas; love it
	♥ 10:38am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all! Took a sick/mental health day yesterday, was very much needed. @HH I WISH I had known RE Stereolab; would have called in sick/dead the next day to see them.
	♥ 10:40am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Premium Idea: WFMU Cookbook! Regular Glisteners can send in ONE recipe that they have discussed in-forum. Can be either a PDF or a print on demand thingy from one of the print on demand services....
	♥ 10:41am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Either that or just a really cool T-shirt. NOT white because white T-shirts never stay that way...maybe an all-over bird print on tie dye or blue?
	10:41am pot8o: kinda obvious what my recipe would be
	♥ 10:41am Cassettivity: @wind thats not a fox thing. Fox isn’t generating the feed
	♥ 10:42am Trouble: that is interesting@ three moons. We did a cook book many years ago, where dj's contributed recipes. but this could be interesting...
	♥ 10:42am Handy Haversack: Wearing my new Double Dip Recess shirt today. I usually stick with black WFMU shirts, but this brown is real nice.
	♥ 10:42am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Trouble - thank you! Or if you want to totally go in another direction, WFMU mini rolling tray/scentproof stash bag.
	♥ 10:43am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I may shower today and celebrate this momentous occasion by wearing one of my WFMU shirts. My Pledge Swag and an order showed up; I have yet to rip it open.
	♥ 10:44am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Trouble are any copies of the DJ cookbook still available? PDF?
	♥ 10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Premium idea: Bird poster. Listeners send in sketches / drawings / photos of birds and they are made into a collage.
	10:45am Patrick: Hey Trouble, been a while since I’ve been able to listen live, loving the show per usual!
	♥ 10:46am steveo: Caitlin Keegan's bird beak tee was one of my all-time favorites; would love a reprint as mine turned to dust eons ago
	♥ 10:49am Yes: Good morning everyone
	10:49am Quinn02: I should listen to this show more
	♥ 10:49am captain beef fart: Premium idea: bird refrigerator magnets (sorry if already suggested)
	♥ 10:50am captain beef fart: maybe original Trouble bird art magnets
	10:57am eileen_tooth: Hi
	♥ 10:57am Trouble: these are all super fun ideas! i haven't done a t shirt because we have to kick in $$ to help pay for it and i would just rather give my $ to wfmu. but i will read all of these after show and wow out!!
	♥ 10:58am Handy Haversack: Or a set of LP-sized cardstock placards suitable for carrying at protests that have Trouble's messages of hope, anger, and action on them (and maybe birds too)?
	♥ 11:02am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: WFMU Bird rubber stamp? WFMU Bird sticker sheet?
	11:03am Glistener MW: !!! No no, I would be all over an ethereal / abstract / film-soundtrack like Marathon CD! :)
	11:09am marcus in ATX: I’m literally synth shopping and this is pushing me on the purchase :) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
	11:10am Gaston Musella: WFMU RULES
	♥ 11:10am Webhamster Henry: Premium idea: Trouble's Big book of contemporary art! basically like the art you post each week with Trouble flavored commentary, and links. Done with collaboration of WFMU listener book/media designers because I know that's not in your wheelhouse.
	11:10am Gaston Musella: WFMU RULES
	11:10am marcus in ATX: @gaston YES
	♥ 11:11am Webhamster Henry: I do dulcimer/synth combos too! vimeo.com...
	♥ 11:16am Trouble: aww@ stteveo. i will let caitlin know how much you loved that t. She is a sweetie!
	♥ 11:19am Trouble: anyone have the link to the google doc that came out of our reading suggestions? that should be on my homepage: share the magic!
	♥ 11:20am Cassettivity: Gosh this is a killer set
	♥ 11:21am Handy Haversack: Here it is, copied from Yetz's profile: docs.google.com...
	♥ 11:23am Trouble: thanks @ handy!!
	♥ 11:24am Handy Haversack: Just added The This to it, too. Now I have to go wash my digital hands after touching Google. Wait, are all hands digital? Everybody look at your hands!
	11:27am Wind: The Modern World with Trouble is magical!
	11:29am Wind: go wash my digital hands

	11:45am Eugene R.: Heard Ms. Orton play live last month, and her voice is really strong in person. Good audience vibes must be a factor.

	♥ 11:49am Brian in UK: Trouble, delightful show.
