	9:28am ?: Good morning, everyone. Loving the set, Trouble
	9:29am uselysses: Oh my, I wasn’t signed in, like a CAVEMAN
	9:29am Vivian: Good Thursday to all! Waiting for the storms to hit later today, in the meantime feeding sourdough starter for two loaves, working remotely and making plans for the weekend..
	9:30am Yetz: ↳ Andrew_in_WI @9:25 We like to have a party in the springtime, where we burn our dried-out xmas tree (we save it for a few months outside), it goes up in a brilliant shower of sparks.
	9:31am Wind: ↳ alan the painter @9:18 more H2O news: news.yahoo.com...
	9:31am lindcy: Morning, morning...nice little first set.
	9:32am morphe': ↳ Karl Ward @9:16 Read somewhere that the Nightmare Before Christmas is getting a Comic book prequel which will mostly likely go to screen?
	9:32am chresti: Morning from El Sobrante, CA
	9:33am TDK60: Chresti, how are ya holding out in the rain deluge?
	9:33am Baja Joe: Representative, representative, representative
	9:34am Wind: ↳ TDK60 @9:33 you read my mind TDK60 :)
	9:34am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and Everyone.
	9:35am rx scabin: It is an internally and externally gloomy day, but it seems right somehow.
	9:35am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modern World!
	9:35am Wind: ↳ uselysses @9:29 Your avatar looks like the Grey Poupon guy :)
	9:35am Yetz: I was fortunate enough to see U Srinivas once. He had an amazing, radiant presence, as did his entire band. Truly one of the best concerts I've ever seen and heard. He passed away far too young. His "Dawn Raga" is a CD I never get tired of. (And it just appeared in my house one day, long ago. I'm not sure how it got there).
	9:36am rx scabin: Excellent.
	9:37am Andrew_in_WI: Raga against the machine.
	9:37am chresti: ↳ TDK60 @9:33 Good so far TDK60, Today is a calm day before the next onslaught, Going to SF later today. Thanks\\//
	9:41am mb: Aloha DJ Trouble and gang gang
	9:43am bobob Fabtriplasticland: good music TROUBLE..nice
	9:43am TDK60: \\//, Chresti; good. \|\| Amazing sounds U. Srinivas gets out of a mandolin. I maybe first heard him on one of Bryce's Indian music shows. (I could go check.) Interesting how western instruments are adapted into Indian music. Interesting too that some western instruments were adapted, from earlier Asian ones, like the lute, etc.
	9:45am Yes: good morning friends
	9:46am uselysses: ↳ Wind @9:35 It’s Lord Grantham from Downton Abbey. I love him because he is (ostensibly) powerful, well-mannered and beautifully articulate, but ultimately pretty dumb in every practical way
	9:47am TDK60: Just went into the WFMU vaults. Bryce indeed has played U. Srinivas several times.
	9:48am Trouble: @uselysses: he is also a great comic actor. he's quite funny in 'W1A'
	9:48am HyperDose: Troublesome sounds! 😃
	9:49am chresti: ↳ TDK60 @9:47 Yay Bryce!
	9:51am Wind: ↳ uselysses @9:46 hahaha!
	9:51am SHAGALOV: GOOOD MORNING ☀︎ for my favorite @trouble and for everyone
	9:53am Trouble: Good morning@shagalov!
	9:54am uselysses: ↳ Trouble @9:48 I’d really like to see it, and I’m not surprised he’s got those chops - maybe my favorite aspect of Abbey is how using the veneer of polite conversation they’re really just exchanging body blows with each other most of the time.
	10:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "a hawk flew fast away" by "Brian Harnetty" I think Mark Hurst is a Merton fan.
	10:02am rx scabin: I sometimes get my name spelled as brain, too.
	10:03am alan the painter: Fine boid painting, Gulls, pretty aggressive, once biking S. on Hudson G_way saw a gull pull a BIG fish out of the water take it to a peer an' peck it's...then start to eat it... much, days, weeks later a streak to my right was a giant bird of prey, flying to a tree as all the Jays peepted UP, running dude oUt! ... yes so beautiful Trouble, thank you fo spinning!
	10:04am Elena: Thanks for flore laurentienne! I am from Montreal and I didn't know Mathieu David Gagnon, and now I do.
	10:05am Mark Hurst: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:02 Yes - clicky star for Merton and Harnetty!
	10:06am rx scabin: Merton's story is fascinating and complicated.
	10:06am Handy Haversack: ↳ Mark Hurst @10:05 My clicky-star-prediction algorithm is humming along! Now to sell the results to Big Pharma and certain interested alien species ...
	10:07am rx scabin: Like everyone's story.
	10:08am morphe': Jeff Beck: The British rock guitar legend's career in pictures https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-64246337
	10:09am love2laf: ↳ rx scabin @10:02 There is a business north of Toronto that has a large sign reading "Brain's Taxidermy" or at least it was there for years, haven't been that way in while.
	10:16am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers....sorry I missed the beginning of the show. Going from 0-60 in 30 seconds at work this AM....but we're almost at Friday! Woot!
	10:21am tadpoles: ↳ morphe' @10:08 Thanks morphe'.....when Bowie found Mick Ronson he said he had finally found his Jeff Beck. All three now sadly gone, Cheers

	10:23am Karl Ward: Belock got me digging on some 70s Pointer Sisters the other day, man they were on fire for years and years
	10:23am Jason from Houston: Also... Good morning, Trouble and good people.
	10:24am Mbork: Both fleetwood mac covers on this album are great

	10:31am rx scabin: Time to make soup.
	10:35am Wind: ↳ Trouble @10:30 Nice ....how about you?
	10:37am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "drift" by "the winston brothers" This cut is really doin' it for me. Thanks for playing.

	10:44am Wind: ↳ Trouble @10:40 website states tickets are selling out soon due to popularity :)
	10:44am sydnius: ↳ Wind @10:35 Here’s a question for you: is it ”The WIND cries Mary” or ”I can hear you in the WIND”?
	10:46am Trouble: joe has no other gigs planned for nyc area! get him her in JC or suffer the sadness
	10:49am Wind: ↳ sydnius @10:44 not sure
	10:49am sydnius: ↳ Wind @10:49 I mean phonetically
	10:50am sydnius: hmm mistook that line in wichita lineman as a transformer reference…d'oh
	10:51am Wind: ↳ Song: "i'm the fool ( parts 1& 2)" by "joe bataan" wow...need to hear live!
	10:55am uselysses: ↳ Song: "i'm the fool ( parts 1& 2)" by "joe bataan" This is bananas, so cool
	10:56am mb: ↳ Wind @10:49 It does looks like u are winding your watch in your avatar. Cool screen name, nonetheless, if its pronounced 'wind' as in My Brother the Wind.
	10:57am Strandlund: This show has been incredible!! Love it!!
	10:59am DPL: ↳ Song: "i haven't got anyhting better to do" by "Stanley ... Lovely turrentine, lovely sentiment! (Title. Have to check the lyrics.)
	11:00am alan the painter: ...such a pro...
	11:00am Karl Ward: HELL YES
	11:03am Wind: ↳ mb @10:56 oh! NOW I get it...it's neither @sydnius my last name is WIND-ecker...
	11:04am sydnius: ↳ Wind @11:03 so ə! fascinating!
	11:06am julia t.: Thanks DJ Trouble for letting us chat about RTC! If you want to learn more about the Right to Counsel Campaign check out our website: https://righttocounseljc.org/
	11:06am Handy Haversack: Does JC have rent stabilization or rent control at all?
	11:08am Webhamster Henry: Kingston has passed a rent rollback (15%) for certain qualifying apartment buildings. forthemany.org... It's in the courts of course, being pushed back on by landlords.
	11:09am Handy Haversack: NYC has the Right to Counsel, and there is some important info for NYC renters in these two articles: www.thecity.nyc... www.thecity.nyc...
	11:10am julia t.: yes, JC has rent control but the city is notoriously bad at enforcing the ordinance!
	11:10am sydnius: @Trouble: or worse, my wife’s hometown has speculative developers that let the center of town rot on purpose
	11:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ julia t. @11:10 Sadly typical. Thanks, julia t.
	11:11am julia t.: we'll be talking about all this and more at tonight's Tenants Town Hall @ 6PM, 165 Newark. Event info & registration here: bit.ly/RTCJC-TownHall
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Live, clickable version of julia's URL: actionnetwork.org...
	11:12am julia t.: Thank you Handy!
	11:12am DPL: 1) If your income is very much higher than your needs, then you can easily handle rent that's above 33% of your income. It's crucial that housing is a right 2) Developers evict in order to get poorer tenants out in favor of richer. They wait to improve the conditions. It's separate but equal, but based on class, not race. Thanks for all you do on these issues Trouble <3
	11:12am Trouble: rtcjc.org
	11:13am Handy Haversack: righttocounseljc.org
	11:14am Panther: This is such a cool segment!!!! Free housing is a human right!!!! Our government should give us housing!! We shouldn’t have to answer to money hungry landlords!!! Everyone DESERVES a place to live!!! Capitalist landlords are evil!
	11:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ DPL @11:12 But see the utterly cynical use of "housing is a human right" by NY gov. Hochul in her State of the State that just backed the anti-tennant, developer-friendly policies of NYC's Adams and others. Don't let the politicians get away with it!
	11:15am DPL: If you are a patron of White Eagle hall or other large venues that cater to the incoming gentrifiers who listen to Guster but also bring Joe Bataan to town, consider attending!!
	11:16am Handy Haversack: On Hochul: hellgatenyc.com...
	11:16am sydnius: curse DINOs
	11:16am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: The problem with all of the progressive NYC housing laws is jack shit fucking zero enforcement. Bad landlords get a million chances/90 day extensions to cure issues but never do and then just make life hell for the tenant that complained. All of the feel good laws in the world are worth zero if there is no enforcement. I lived in a shithole 6-apartment unit in Astoria for 14 years; the landlord lived in the building and heat and hot water was a constant struggle, leaks everywhere, etc. He had a liars loan to buy the building and he had 3 equity loans on it that he used to buy crap like sports cars with. He started to put cameras up pointing at people's doors, never fixed the front door lock, put in illegal locks, etc. And the City never did SHIT. Never sent actual human inspectors. You wanna know who is worse than UPS/FedEx at pretending to ring the bell and leaving a note? DHCR. Understaffed and undermotivated. Zero fucks given by anyone in authority. My landlord should have gone to jail for multiple reasons, including keeping rent-stabilized units off of the market (the last time I checked his only 2 tenants were himself and one other dude -- 4 units empty), plus the building is a firetrap. DHCR tells you to call the FDNY if there's blocked exits, etc. Threatened? Call the cops. Constructive eviction due to lack of services? Fuck you call a lawyer. Stealing utilities? Call ConEd. The list goes on. Look at how many illegally subdivided places burn down and kill people; not a single landlord has even gone to jail for THAT.
	11:17am Noir Lover: Let's get the illegal Airbnb's start taxing the pied-a-terres. Increase housing supply.
	11:17am Panther: I agree!!! Landlords should be jailed!!!
	11:18am Noir Lover: ↳ Noir Lover @11:17 *get rid of the illegal airbnbs (including the one below my apt)
	11:18am TVP: “Hudson County is unique as it’s a one-party county.” Laughs in Hunterdon County.
	11:18am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Noir Lover @11:17 Do. Not. Get. Me. Started. RE Air BnB.
	11:18am Panther: WFMU is the best!!
	11:19am Wind: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:18 lol
	11:22am Erella: Thank you Trouble. This is important. This is the same issue we have in every big city. People everywhere need to unite. Follow the money. Learn what details to look out for so we can learn the vocabulary Councils and Mayors all over the place allow little rules in that most folks don't know to watch out for.
	11:22am eileen_tooth: Hi
	11:23am eileen_tooth: 👋🏻
	11:24am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I feel BLESSED to currently be in a decent building that has a strict no AirBnB policy. It's a co-op with very strict subletting rules. It was made clear in no uncertain terms that if you were an owner and caught doing AirBnB, you'd get ONE warning; second warning was a forced sale of your unit. If you were a subletter, you got tossed. AND the BoD (actually a really mellow bunch of long term residents who bought in when the building converted in the 80s) actually enforced it. My old shitty building per above? Well, there was one guy who was running an illegal AirBnB for Asian students -- one time he opened the door and the living room had about 10 low sleeping mats on it and there was a constant parade of college-age Korean and Japanese kids who would show up with shopping bags like clockwork every night. At least they were quiet. The tenant under them was running an escort service (basically a sex worker/cam girl and her pimp). At least they got caught and thrown out but only because...wait for it....they made illegal alterations to the place that pissed the landlord off. As in put mirrored tiles all over the place, half-assed built in bed, etc.
	11:26am Trouble: righttocounseljc@geemail.com
	11:27am sydnius: g? no. GTE
	11:27am Handy Haversack: righttocounseljc "at" the evil Gmail.com
	11:30am TDK60: Thanks for hosting the interview, DJ T.
	11:30am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble, Jake, Julia. Crucial stuff. The class war is real and ongoing. It's just time the working classes realized they have been under assault all this time.
	11:31am sydnius: housing rights are human rights
	11:31am Noir Lover: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:24 NYC (and other municipalities) are set to launch a registry system that would make it harder to rent residential units out as hotels. Have read it could put 10k units on the market. Cautiously optimistic.
	11:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Noir Lover alas, you know what's gonna happen? ONE rich asshole who owns a bunch of places will get caught and then just throw money at the case in court until it's forgotten/overturned.
	11:33am Avrilinmay: ↳ Erella @11:22 you said what I was on my mind. "In (..) big cities", even outside of the US, and Europe. (talking out of what I was able to observe in news from France, and here on the ground, not far away from Fr
	11:34am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 WORD HH. The older I get the more radical I get. I mean, my TBR and read pile shifted from stuff from Jacobin to PM and OR Press. This country is trying to smash what few unions we have left, healthcare is now a 100% for-profit business as hospitals get bought up by investment groups, etc.
	11:36am sydnius: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:34 my greatest fear? Love is not enough.
	11:38am Wind: ↳ sydnius @11:36 it is all there is...some say
	11:39am Avrilinmay: hope this will not divert too much attention from this jersey-specific issue, and this is just an addition I have just decided to share right now, but in case anyone is interested, I was just reading a mention of where alternative housing projects are done in a way more concerned with better living conditions: www.nature.com... (it is just a brief mention. I am not using a device that permits to highlight the relevant passages to make it faster to find unfortunately)
	11:43am Avrilinmay: And strength to tenants going through a tough time 💚🌞and naps :))
	11:43am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I mean, my Mom, may she rest in peace, was always lefty for her time, but even she got hella radicalized as she got older. I remember a few pivot points, a big one being when there was a teacher's strike in her district at least 20 years ago. The teachers showed up to protest in the parking lot of the school -- no intimidation of scabs, no yelling at the kids, it was peaceful. The scabby principal called the cops and they literally cuffed everyone, threw them in the pie wagon, and actually booked them and put them in a holding cell. My Stepdad posted bail and had her ass out of there in a few hours but she still had to go to court a few weeks later. Everyone was cleared and expunged but the principal left a few years later and this one bitchy social studies teacher that I had who had scabbed was even more shunned by the rest of the staff. FWIW they had been operating without a contract or any raises for SIX YEARS.
	11:44am morphe': Rent Stablization Asssoc of NY -sounds good but it is actually a landlord organization fighting all controls .... some of their press releases are fantasical stating [paraphrasing] they are "saving NYC's affordable housing stock..." [Orwellian] https://rsanyc.net
	11:45am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: PS Principal's charge was that they were "trespassing on school grounds" - protesting at the parking lot outside of the school but technically upkept by said school. I mean, they even arrested one of my favorite old math teachers, a Holocaust survivor from Lithuania who had numbers on his arm and a compressed spine. The optics and fallout were not great.
	11:45am sydnius: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:43 🍷 raising a glass to your mom… mine was a Nixon normie. bless her, but ugh
	11:45am Jason from Houston: Ugh! I keep forgetting to pick this album up!!!
	11:45am Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "witness" by "santigold" This one...
	11:46am wind: Yes! Keeping all struggling tenants in my thoughts and prayers This is personal for me.
	11:48am wind: Thanks Trouble and fans of Good Trouble, Good music and good conversations! Till next time ♥️
	11:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ morphe' @11:44 Landlords = modern lords over serfs. They do nothing. They produce nothing. They help keep in place a system that says yeah your rent is $1800/month and you never missed rent in 10 years but banks won't give you a $1200/month mortgage on a place with $500 maintenance because steady work history credit rating blah blah blah. Rent is a way to ensure that there is always a hostage working class that can never get enough capital to own their own housing. The other arm of that ugly giant is employer-bound healthcare.
	11:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ sydnius @11:45 Thank you....
	11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and troublesprouts. Kind of lurk mode today with a dentist appointment and such. Thanks for the enlightenment today!
	11:52am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And the number of people who would say "fuck this" and quit their jobs to do something else if we had nationalized health care is HUGE. EVERY SINGLE TEACHER I KNOW says this. I sure would. A very close friend of mine, gifted graphic artist, folded his own business that he had had for over 25 years because small time publishing houses are drying up and...wait for it...he needed the insurance for open heart surgery. It's such bullshit. His small business kept at least 3 other people in regular income -- I even did QC work for him back in the day.
	11:53am sydnius: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:52 may Eris guide the hands of fate. ❤️
	11:53am Feldy: Digging the show!
	11:54am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:52 Good luck at the dentist! Which reminds me, now that I have dental insurance I need to make an appointment....
	11:54am Yes: Thank you , Trouble!
	11:55am morphe': ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:48 Three- yer point is spot on... I am lucky to live in a NYC Member run -Not-for-Profit Coop - though some F-ers want to change for profit .. But .. my older son's Ma was renting for years and finally took the leap about 15 years ago to "buy" a place .. wound up saving about $8,000.00 a year in just the first year ....
	11:55am morphe': Thanks Trouble and all !!!!
	11:56am patrick321: Thanks Trouble!

	12:00pm Crownless Gander: Missed today's episode, sounds like there was a good discussion. Will check it out on the archives as soon as it's up. Thanks, Trouble!
	12:02pm Avrilinmay: Trouble, I heard that wonderful sound of birds in my head, in addition to the actual birds around me which remind me of the show and that I started appreciating so much more in the last few years.... and it was un soleil intérieur during not-so-great-of a moment(s) . So grateful to you (and everyone making the show) . Take care

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from January 12, 2023

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.

	9:28am Yetz: Hi Trouble and Thursday people. I'm really enjoying this vibe today, so are the cats.
	9:28am ?: Good morning, everyone. Loving the set, Trouble
	9:29am uselysses: Oh my, I wasn’t signed in, like a CAVEMAN
	9:29am Vivian: Good Thursday to all! Waiting for the storms to hit later today, in the meantime feeding sourdough starter for two loaves, working remotely and making plans for the weekend..
	9:30am Yetz: ↳ Andrew_in_WI @9:25 We like to have a party in the springtime, where we burn our dried-out xmas tree (we save it for a few months outside), it goes up in a brilliant shower of sparks.
	9:31am Wind: ↳ alan the painter @9:18 more H2O news: news.yahoo.com...
	9:31am lindcy: Morning, morning...nice little first set.
	9:32am morphe': ↳ Karl Ward @9:16 Read somewhere that the Nightmare Before Christmas is getting a Comic book prequel which will mostly likely go to screen?

	9:33am TDK60: Chresti, how are ya holding out in the rain deluge?

	9:34am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and Everyone.
	9:35am rx scabin: It is an internally and externally gloomy day, but it seems right somehow.
	9:35am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modern World!
	9:35am Wind: ↳ uselysses @9:29 Your avatar looks like the Grey Poupon guy :)
	9:35am Yetz: I was fortunate enough to see U Srinivas once. He had an amazing, radiant presence, as did his entire band. Truly one of the best concerts I've ever seen and heard. He passed away far too young. His "Dawn Raga" is a CD I never get tired of. (And it just appeared in my house one day, long ago. I'm not sure how it got there).
	9:36am rx scabin: Excellent.
	9:37am Andrew_in_WI: Raga against the machine.
	9:37am chresti: ↳ TDK60 @9:33 Good so far TDK60, Today is a calm day before the next onslaught, Going to SF later today. Thanks\\//
	9:41am mb: Aloha DJ Trouble and gang gang
	9:43am bobob Fabtriplasticland: good music TROUBLE..nice
	9:43am TDK60: \\//, Chresti; good. \|\| Amazing sounds U. Srinivas gets out of a mandolin. I maybe first heard him on one of Bryce's Indian music shows. (I could go check.) Interesting how western instruments are adapted into Indian music. Interesting too that some western instruments were adapted, from earlier Asian ones, like the lute, etc.
	9:45am Yes: good morning friends
	9:46am uselysses: ↳ Wind @9:35 It’s Lord Grantham from Downton Abbey. I love him because he is (ostensibly) powerful, well-mannered and beautifully articulate, but ultimately pretty dumb in every practical way
	9:47am TDK60: Just went into the WFMU vaults. Bryce indeed has played U. Srinivas several times.
	9:48am Trouble: @uselysses: he is also a great comic actor. he's quite funny in 'W1A'
	9:48am HyperDose: Troublesome sounds! 😃
	9:49am chresti: ↳ TDK60 @9:47 Yay Bryce!
	9:51am Wind: ↳ uselysses @9:46 hahaha!
	9:51am SHAGALOV: GOOOD MORNING ☀︎ for my favorite @trouble and for everyone
	9:53am Trouble: Good morning@shagalov!
	9:54am uselysses: ↳ Trouble @9:48 I’d really like to see it, and I’m not surprised he’s got those chops - maybe my favorite aspect of Abbey is how using the veneer of polite conversation they’re really just exchanging body blows with each other most of the time.
	10:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "a hawk flew fast away" by "Brian Harnetty" I think Mark Hurst is a Merton fan.
	10:02am rx scabin: I sometimes get my name spelled as brain, too.
	10:03am alan the painter: Fine boid painting, Gulls, pretty aggressive, once biking S. on Hudson G_way saw a gull pull a BIG fish out of the water take it to a peer an' peck it's...then start to eat it... much, days, weeks later a streak to my right was a giant bird of prey, flying to a tree as all the Jays peepted UP, running dude oUt! ... yes so beautiful Trouble, thank you fo spinning!
	10:04am Elena: Thanks for flore laurentienne! I am from Montreal and I didn't know Mathieu David Gagnon, and now I do.
	10:05am Mark Hurst: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:02 Yes - clicky star for Merton and Harnetty!
	10:06am rx scabin: Merton's story is fascinating and complicated.
	10:06am Handy Haversack: ↳ Mark Hurst @10:05 My clicky-star-prediction algorithm is humming along! Now to sell the results to Big Pharma and certain interested alien species ...
	10:07am rx scabin: Like everyone's story.
	10:08am morphe': Jeff Beck: The British rock guitar legend's career in pictures https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-64246337
	10:09am love2laf: ↳ rx scabin @10:02 There is a business north of Toronto that has a large sign reading "Brain's Taxidermy" or at least it was there for years, haven't been that way in while.
	10:16am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers....sorry I missed the beginning of the show. Going from 0-60 in 30 seconds at work this AM....but we're almost at Friday! Woot!

	10:31am rx scabin: Time to make soup.
	10:35am Wind: ↳ Trouble @10:30 Nice ....how about you?
	10:37am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "drift" by "the winston brothers" This cut is really doin' it for me. Thanks for playing.

	10:43am alan the painter: nice run here trouble...thkx!
	10:43am Wind: ↳ patrick321 @10:42 Hey, good to see you too!
	10:44am Wind: ↳ Trouble @10:40 website states tickets are selling out soon due to popularity :)
	10:44am sydnius: ↳ Wind @10:35 Here’s a question for you: is it ”The WIND cries Mary” or ”I can hear you in the WIND”?
	10:46am Trouble: joe has no other gigs planned for nyc area! get him her in JC or suffer the sadness
	10:49am Wind: ↳ sydnius @10:44 not sure
	10:49am sydnius: ↳ Wind @10:49 I mean phonetically
	10:50am sydnius: hmm mistook that line in wichita lineman as a transformer reference…d'oh
	10:51am Wind: ↳ Song: "i'm the fool ( parts 1& 2)" by "joe bataan" wow...need to hear live!
	10:55am uselysses: ↳ Song: "i'm the fool ( parts 1& 2)" by "joe bataan" This is bananas, so cool
	10:56am mb: ↳ Wind @10:49 It does looks like u are winding your watch in your avatar. Cool screen name, nonetheless, if its pronounced 'wind' as in My Brother the Wind.
	10:57am Strandlund: This show has been incredible!! Love it!!
	10:59am DPL: ↳ Song: "i haven't got anyhting better to do" by "Stanley ... Lovely turrentine, lovely sentiment! (Title. Have to check the lyrics.)

	11:03am Wind: ↳ mb @10:56 oh! NOW I get it...it's neither @sydnius my last name is WIND-ecker...
	11:04am sydnius: ↳ Wind @11:03 so ə! fascinating!
	11:06am julia t.: Thanks DJ Trouble for letting us chat about RTC! If you want to learn more about the Right to Counsel Campaign check out our website: https://righttocounseljc.org/
	11:06am Handy Haversack: Does JC have rent stabilization or rent control at all?
	11:08am Webhamster Henry: Kingston has passed a rent rollback (15%) for certain qualifying apartment buildings. forthemany.org... It's in the courts of course, being pushed back on by landlords.
	11:09am Handy Haversack: NYC has the Right to Counsel, and there is some important info for NYC renters in these two articles: www.thecity.nyc... www.thecity.nyc...
	11:10am julia t.: yes, JC has rent control but the city is notoriously bad at enforcing the ordinance!
	11:10am sydnius: @Trouble: or worse, my wife’s hometown has speculative developers that let the center of town rot on purpose
	11:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ julia t. @11:10 Sadly typical. Thanks, julia t.
	11:11am julia t.: we'll be talking about all this and more at tonight's Tenants Town Hall @ 6PM, 165 Newark. Event info & registration here: bit.ly/RTCJC-TownHall
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Live, clickable version of julia's URL: actionnetwork.org...
	11:12am julia t.: Thank you Handy!
	11:12am DPL: 1) If your income is very much higher than your needs, then you can easily handle rent that's above 33% of your income. It's crucial that housing is a right 2) Developers evict in order to get poorer tenants out in favor of richer. They wait to improve the conditions. It's separate but equal, but based on class, not race. Thanks for all you do on these issues Trouble <3
	11:12am Trouble: rtcjc.org
	11:13am Handy Haversack: righttocounseljc.org
	11:14am Panther: This is such a cool segment!!!! Free housing is a human right!!!! Our government should give us housing!! We shouldn’t have to answer to money hungry landlords!!! Everyone DESERVES a place to live!!! Capitalist landlords are evil!
	11:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ DPL @11:12 But see the utterly cynical use of "housing is a human right" by NY gov. Hochul in her State of the State that just backed the anti-tennant, developer-friendly policies of NYC's Adams and others. Don't let the politicians get away with it!
	11:15am DPL: If you are a patron of White Eagle hall or other large venues that cater to the incoming gentrifiers who listen to Guster but also bring Joe Bataan to town, consider attending!!
	11:16am Handy Haversack: On Hochul: hellgatenyc.com...
	11:16am sydnius: curse DINOs
	11:16am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: The problem with all of the progressive NYC housing laws is jack shit fucking zero enforcement. Bad landlords get a million chances/90 day extensions to cure issues but never do and then just make life hell for the tenant that complained. All of the feel good laws in the world are worth zero if there is no enforcement. I lived in a shithole 6-apartment unit in Astoria for 14 years; the landlord lived in the building and heat and hot water was a constant struggle, leaks everywhere, etc. He had a liars loan to buy the building and he had 3 equity loans on it that he used to buy crap like sports cars with. He started to put cameras up pointing at people's doors, never fixed the front door lock, put in illegal locks, etc. And the City never did SHIT. Never sent actual human inspectors. You wanna know who is worse than UPS/FedEx at pretending to ring the bell and leaving a note? DHCR. Understaffed and undermotivated. Zero fucks given by anyone in authority. My landlord should have gone to jail for multiple reasons, including keeping rent-stabilized units off of the market (the last time I checked his only 2 tenants were himself and one other dude -- 4 units empty), plus the building is a firetrap. DHCR tells you to call the FDNY if there's blocked exits, etc. Threatened? Call the cops. Constructive eviction due to lack of services? Fuck you call a lawyer. Stealing utilities? Call ConEd. The list goes on. Look at how many illegally subdivided places burn down and kill people; not a single landlord has even gone to jail for THAT.
	11:17am Noir Lover: Let's get the illegal Airbnb's start taxing the pied-a-terres. Increase housing supply.
	11:17am Panther: I agree!!! Landlords should be jailed!!!
	11:18am Noir Lover: ↳ Noir Lover @11:17 *get rid of the illegal airbnbs (including the one below my apt)
	11:18am TVP: “Hudson County is unique as it’s a one-party county.” Laughs in Hunterdon County.
	11:18am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Noir Lover @11:17 Do. Not. Get. Me. Started. RE Air BnB.
	11:18am Panther: WFMU is the best!!
	11:19am Wind: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:18 lol
	11:22am Erella: Thank you Trouble. This is important. This is the same issue we have in every big city. People everywhere need to unite. Follow the money. Learn what details to look out for so we can learn the vocabulary Councils and Mayors all over the place allow little rules in that most folks don't know to watch out for.
	11:22am eileen_tooth: Hi
	11:23am eileen_tooth: 👋🏻
	11:24am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I feel BLESSED to currently be in a decent building that has a strict no AirBnB policy. It's a co-op with very strict subletting rules. It was made clear in no uncertain terms that if you were an owner and caught doing AirBnB, you'd get ONE warning; second warning was a forced sale of your unit. If you were a subletter, you got tossed. AND the BoD (actually a really mellow bunch of long term residents who bought in when the building converted in the 80s) actually enforced it. My old shitty building per above? Well, there was one guy who was running an illegal AirBnB for Asian students -- one time he opened the door and the living room had about 10 low sleeping mats on it and there was a constant parade of college-age Korean and Japanese kids who would show up with shopping bags like clockwork every night. At least they were quiet. The tenant under them was running an escort service (basically a sex worker/cam girl and her pimp). At least they got caught and thrown out but only because...wait for it....they made illegal alterations to the place that pissed the landlord off. As in put mirrored tiles all over the place, half-assed built in bed, etc.
	11:26am Trouble: righttocounseljc@geemail.com
	11:27am sydnius: g? no. GTE
	11:27am Handy Haversack: righttocounseljc "at" the evil Gmail.com
	11:30am TDK60: Thanks for hosting the interview, DJ T.
	11:30am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble, Jake, Julia. Crucial stuff. The class war is real and ongoing. It's just time the working classes realized they have been under assault all this time.
	11:31am sydnius: housing rights are human rights
	11:31am Noir Lover: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:24 NYC (and other municipalities) are set to launch a registry system that would make it harder to rent residential units out as hotels. Have read it could put 10k units on the market. Cautiously optimistic.
	11:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: @Noir Lover alas, you know what's gonna happen? ONE rich asshole who owns a bunch of places will get caught and then just throw money at the case in court until it's forgotten/overturned.
	11:33am Avrilinmay: ↳ Erella @11:22 you said what I was on my mind. "In (..) big cities", even outside of the US, and Europe. (talking out of what I was able to observe in news from France, and here on the ground, not far away from Fr
	11:34am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 WORD HH. The older I get the more radical I get. I mean, my TBR and read pile shifted from stuff from Jacobin to PM and OR Press. This country is trying to smash what few unions we have left, healthcare is now a 100% for-profit business as hospitals get bought up by investment groups, etc.
	11:36am sydnius: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:34 my greatest fear? Love is not enough.
	11:38am Wind: ↳ sydnius @11:36 it is all there is...some say
	11:39am Avrilinmay: hope this will not divert too much attention from this jersey-specific issue, and this is just an addition I have just decided to share right now, but in case anyone is interested, I was just reading a mention of where alternative housing projects are done in a way more concerned with better living conditions: www.nature.com... (it is just a brief mention. I am not using a device that permits to highlight the relevant passages to make it faster to find unfortunately)
	11:43am Avrilinmay: And strength to tenants going through a tough time 💚🌞and naps :))
	11:43am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: I mean, my Mom, may she rest in peace, was always lefty for her time, but even she got hella radicalized as she got older. I remember a few pivot points, a big one being when there was a teacher's strike in her district at least 20 years ago. The teachers showed up to protest in the parking lot of the school -- no intimidation of scabs, no yelling at the kids, it was peaceful. The scabby principal called the cops and they literally cuffed everyone, threw them in the pie wagon, and actually booked them and put them in a holding cell. My Stepdad posted bail and had her ass out of there in a few hours but she still had to go to court a few weeks later. Everyone was cleared and expunged but the principal left a few years later and this one bitchy social studies teacher that I had who had scabbed was even more shunned by the rest of the staff. FWIW they had been operating without a contract or any raises for SIX YEARS.
	11:44am morphe': Rent Stablization Asssoc of NY -sounds good but it is actually a landlord organization fighting all controls .... some of their press releases are fantasical stating [paraphrasing] they are "saving NYC's affordable housing stock..." [Orwellian] https://rsanyc.net
	11:45am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: PS Principal's charge was that they were "trespassing on school grounds" - protesting at the parking lot outside of the school but technically upkept by said school. I mean, they even arrested one of my favorite old math teachers, a Holocaust survivor from Lithuania who had numbers on his arm and a compressed spine. The optics and fallout were not great.
	11:45am sydnius: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:43 🍷 raising a glass to your mom… mine was a Nixon normie. bless her, but ugh

	11:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ morphe' @11:44 Landlords = modern lords over serfs. They do nothing. They produce nothing. They help keep in place a system that says yeah your rent is $1800/month and you never missed rent in 10 years but banks won't give you a $1200/month mortgage on a place with $500 maintenance because steady work history credit rating blah blah blah. Rent is a way to ensure that there is always a hostage working class that can never get enough capital to own their own housing. The other arm of that ugly giant is employer-bound healthcare.
	11:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ sydnius @11:45 Thank you....
	11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and troublesprouts. Kind of lurk mode today with a dentist appointment and such. Thanks for the enlightenment today!
	11:52am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And the number of people who would say "fuck this" and quit their jobs to do something else if we had nationalized health care is HUGE. EVERY SINGLE TEACHER I KNOW says this. I sure would. A very close friend of mine, gifted graphic artist, folded his own business that he had had for over 25 years because small time publishing houses are drying up and...wait for it...he needed the insurance for open heart surgery. It's such bullshit. His small business kept at least 3 other people in regular income -- I even did QC work for him back in the day.
	11:53am sydnius: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:52 may Eris guide the hands of fate. ❤️

But .. my older son's Ma was renting for years and finally took the leap about 15 years ago to "buy" a place .. wound up saving about $8,000.00 a year in just the first year ....
