	9:06am Yetz: ↳ Song: "sound of an unperplexed wren- instrumental" by "b... I'm waiting for the Merton, but I guess this is just the music part. I think I need to pick up this record.
	9:06am terminalhipness: Grey and wet in Chicagoland. This music is perfect. Good morning all.
	9:07am Webhamster Henry: Good Modern World Morning to you all!
	9:07am Yetz: ↳ terminalhipness @9:06 At least the rain is washing away the excessive salt that's crusted all over everything!

	9:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and those familiar with trouble.
	9:09am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "cricket suite" by "liz durette" I enjoy Liz' casual approach to pitch.
	9:09am terminalhipness: ↳ Yetz @9:07 Indeed!
	9:13am abbazabba: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:09 hahaha
	9:14am MilMil: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:09 hahaah 🤣
	9:15am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble, that Liz Durette was beautiful, good morning Thursday listeners. Still dark here in the PNW.
	9:15am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "cricket suite" by "liz durette" Apparently, this was released in 2020 right before general COVID lockdowns, and she released another one a few months later: lizdurette.bandcamp.com...
	9:17am Phillippe: Good morning
	9:17am Phillippe: ↳ Song: "spring is here" by "nina simone" love this
	9:18am Trouble: www.federalregister.gov...
	9:19am Trouble: i just posted something of great concern to music lovers: US quadruples fees for foreign musicians touring in the us, making it prohibitively expensive for small acts. post a comment via the link if you can
	9:20am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "glow worms" by "vashti bunyan" Vashti Bunyan, who heard a Joni Mitchell record and decided she wasn't "good enough" and stopped singing for 30+ years
	9:20am Polyus: ↳ Song: "spring is here" by "nina simone" okay I don't know what this "spring" is but here in MN we're doing cartwheels because it got all the way up to freezing.
	9:20am Yetz: ↳ Song: "the easy way" by "The Jimmy Giuffre 3" Jimmy!
	9:22am Malcolm: Thank you for the beautiful music
	9:22am Zinn The Mood: Hey Troublemakers. Music is as perfectly chosen as ever, Trouble. Thanks; you’re amazing! Got one kid home sick for a second day. While I’m also apparently dealing with some kind of throat/lung infection. Particularly heinous winter, a not so merry go round of all of us with various sicknesses, including two weeks of giving each other Covid. Took the kids to the East Elmhurst library last weekend and were treated to an excellent jazz quintet playing in the adjacent community room. Whenever in that area of Queens I’m silently paying tribute/communing with Malcolm X, whose last (and longest?) residence was a few blocks away from the library. Picked up the James Cone book “Martin & Malcolm & America: a dream or a nightmare.” It’s good.
	9:22am Lord Jimz: Wow, thank you.
	9:23am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Trouble @9:19 Ugh, it's like a music tariff. What jerk came up with this idea?
	9:24am Zipperhead7: Good morning, Troubled modernists!
	9:24am uselysses: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:22 The kid / illness revolving door is a nightmare, hope you all feel better soon
	9:24am Yetz: ↳ Song: "the easy way" by "The Jimmy Giuffre 3" Jimmy Giuffre 3 + Jim Hall on guitar.
	9:25am Lord Jimz: Ray!
	9:26am Lord Jimz: Had the honor of playing with Jimmy in the early 90's.
	9:27am uselysses: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:23 Seriously. “boy, if there’s one thing that drives me bananas it’s how economically feasible it’s been to date for international musicians to share their culture with us”
	9:28am Handy Haversack: Wearing a New Model Army shirt today. Haven't seen them since like 2013 because it was already too expensive for independent acts to tour from the UK. Easier for them to play Brazil than New York City. Way to go, America.
	9:28am steveo: will be celebrating Sandy Bull's birthday on 2/25
	9:29am Rich in Washington: Still want to see the Sandy Bull documentary made by his daughter but it seems perpetually lost in some festival circuit limbo.
	9:30am TDK60: The DHS needs more dough? P'phaw! / Sandy, one of our freakfolke granddads.
	9:33am iiibeat: I think that I just ate some dish soap.
	9:33am Karl Ward: ↳ iiibeat @9:33 Round here we call that "culinary free jazz."
	9:35am Zipperhead7: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:29 Here's the trailer: vimeo.com... i first heard him when "Memphis" was used on the soundtrack of a film with hippies capering around. Can't remember the title but would love to see that movie again
	9:35am Trouble: I hope it's not a xenophobic response, but just an easy way to tax someone who can't complain. the club scene is barely functioning in a way that allows small acts to tour without losing $, and now this? I had telebossa stay at my house when they came over to play a few gigs locally in 2011. one of them had to rent a cello here so as not to arouse suspicion that they might be coming over to play. that won't be so easy now to avoid johnny law.
	9:37am SHAGALOV: Goood morning Trouble and all!
	9:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @9:35 Not to mention how it will affect our domestic cello-rental industry!
	9:39am SHAGALOV: @Trouble what happened with your Facebook?! missed it out 👀
	9:41am Rock Ridge Chess Club: With the little guy out of school with a bug, I've decided it would be a good time to learn cursive. Wish me luck.
	9:43am Trouble: i am sorry @ shagalov: i shut it down because i hate META and all that they stand for. I am on instagram which is a lesser evil but still owned by him. sadness. go to giantpompom on instagram.
	9:46am Mike W.: i had forgotten that, when you’re down, like, really down, you can put on a Sandy Bull side, and afterward the world seems like a different place for a while.
	9:47am SHAGALOV: ↳ Trouble @9:43 I understand and very much share your beliefs. Sure, I'll continue to follow U on Instgrm. However, WFMU still remains the most important platform ♡
	9:47am garlic lover: Wow Sandy’s rippn!
	9:52am Mike W.: Not only is there a Vsshti Bunyan biography, but t-shirt company 1 of 100 made a ltd ed shirt printed with the dog drawing from the bottom of the book’s cover
	9:54am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "cricket suite" by "liz durette" Polyphonic keyboard: If it's black silicone, it's a ROLI Seaboard, if red + black fabric it's a Continuum, if its a bunch of lights under acrylic, it's a Linnstrument, and if it's a rubbery bunch of keys, it's a McMillen K-Board.
	9:55am riley: www.theguardian.com...
	9:56am queems: that's awesome, spinning/dyeing is so satisfying
	9:56am captain beef fart: but I must keep getting WFMU t-shirts!
	9:57am abbazabba: 60 percent more!?!?! That is absolutely insane and repulsive. CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME NOM NOM NOM
	9:57am Handy Haversack: Jeez, if I buy five pieces of clothing in a year, it's only because Goblin has eaten my socks. FMU T-shirts don't count as purchases, of course.
	9:57am Vivian: RE: high turnover of clothes by consumers- one of the reasons why I shop thrift.
	9:57am lee b: https://fabscrap.org/ Great org!
	9:58am queems: even thrift stores are getting expensive
	9:58am Barbara in PA: And then there's the microfiber problem
	9:58am Handy Haversack: ↳ queems @9:58 In Brooklyn? Fuhgedaboutit.
	9:58am Crownless Gander: Thanks for the yarn yarn, Trouble. Morning, everyone! Late to the party.
	9:59am abbazabba: I have to wear a dress shirt to work everyday. I work 5 days a week but only have 4 dress shirts. I gotta get my shit together
	9:59am Trouble: yes@ barbara in PA! the microfiber problem!!! i have always hated polyester...
	9:59am Yetz: ↳ abbazabba @9:59 you gotta get your shirt together. dropped an 'r' there.
	9:59am abbazabba: And I will not start doing laundry more than 1x per week
	10:00am abbazabba: ↳ Yetz @9:59 hahaha that's great!
	10:01am queems: pro tip- you can get great formal clothes and dress shoes on ebay. i buy all of my dresses on there when i have to go to a wedding or special event. sometimes they still have the tags on them.
	10:02am Zipperhead7: Thanks for the book recommendations, Trouble. Any suggestions for audiobooks? We loved Anna Burns' "The Milkman!"
	10:02am Vivian: ↳ queems @9:58 That is true. I remember the days where I could find a really cool shirt for 50 cents. Not anymore. However, the prices are still cheaper than online/stores - and you're not contributing to the landfill. I'm happy finding a pair of decent cords for $3, which I can wear for work or at the studio.
	10:03am PaulRobeson1923: Good morning, WFMU World Burt Bacharach has passed on
	10:03am Leo: This Perpetual Bridge track is lovely stuff
	10:04am Vivian: Here's a question - has anyone used an online consignment store, such as Thred Up?
	10:04am Leo: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @10:03 oh wow
	10:04am PaulRobeson1923: Like we all will be, someday
	10:04am Trimegistus: Great show as usual!!! Sounds good while driving too!
	10:05am queems: ↳ Vivian @10:04 i've used poshmark, but only once and only to buy
	10:06am Trouble: @zipperhead: you are my people! anna burns the milkman is one of my tip top faves. I listen to audio books through the library, but hoopla doesn't always have the newest titles. i do love the new yorker fiction podcast. they have an author choose and read another author's short story. super great people and then they discuss at the end
	10:07am Polly.: morris street mission in morristown nj has an huge amount of clothes at thrift pricing. also furnitures home items etc
	10:08am queems: also estate sales are great for clothes. i've found some real gems in random people's closets
	10:10am ldbl: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:02 Burns' earlier work, Little Constructions, is also terrific!
	10:10am Polly.: ↳ Polly. @10:07 make that Market St Mission in Morristown NJ
	10:10am Trouble: @zipperhead: i recently listened to my first muriel spark audio book; the mandelbaum gate. it was as fab as reading it, which is a high compliment
	10:11am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @10:04 Returned to where we came from
	10:12am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	10:13am Jason from Houston: That's a good Bill Traylor. Dang.
	10:14am Trouble: more info about the artist Bill Traylor up at the top of today's playlist: amazing stuff!! americanart.si.edu...
	10:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ queems @10:01 I am off Ebay after the toxic and felonious actions of its executives. Which means I have zero clue how to get clothes that I can't find in the neighborhood. I have patched this pair of jeans three times, and I don't know how much longer I can keep it going, but I just have no clue how to get more. Lost without a map over here.
	10:16am sydnius: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 Thrift!
	10:17am Vivian: ↳ queems @10:05 Thanks Queems. I'm thinking about selling some of my 'corporate' clothes. Have no need for them.
	10:18am Handy Haversack: ↳ sydnius @10:16 The local thrift stores are insanely expensive, picked over, and aimed at 25-year-old women. Gentrified Brooklyn has no pity.
	10:21am βrian: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:18 Go west, young listener!
	10:21am Baja Joe: Good morning Trouble and all listening so intensely, it hurts!
	10:22am Jason from Houston: The Menil has a few drawings in their collection. Or the Smithers collection. No chickens, though!
	10:22am queems: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:18 the salvation army on the corner of steinway street and 34th ave always treated me well, but that was several years ago now. still might be worth a shot
	10:23am Handy Haversack: Greenpoint's Salvation Army is now a sushi restaurant.
	10:24am StringOFperils: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:23 Are silverfish an entree?
	10:24am βrian: We have two St. Vinny's in Madison that are my spouse's most reliable source of work clothing.
	10:27am Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "in the rain" by "the dramatics" THIS SONG RIGHT HERE
	10:27am Robm: @Handy and queems is there any goodwills in your area?
	10:29am herb.nyc: just tuned in. thrift. yay! in a sheepshead bay freebie is ad: st james thrift shop clearance, sat 2/11 10 - 3pm. 2276 gerritsen ave, household items clothes 718 743 1788 to left of ad: senior male seeks senior woman...
	10:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ βrian @10:24 That was a go-to when we were in Ann Arbor.
	10:30am Malcolm: A real DJ time traveller number this
	10:31am Trouble: exactly@malcolm
	10:31am Zipperhead7: The WaPo obit for Bacharach was somewhat condescending -- referred to him providing the "cocktail party playlist . . . for the shag carpet era" and sent the "listener floating down a martini river." C'mon -- the Shirelles' "Baby It's You" is one of the greatest records of all time. Heartbreak bordering on nihilism
	10:32am mb: Morning Trouble and fans of
	10:33am queems: ↳ Robm @10:27 there are a couple around, but not particularly close. there is one of those giant goodwill outlets off rt 80, but the last time i went to one of those (long island city) i panicked and left
	10:33am katharsis: Hellos Trouble and all. I am out here listening. Just lovely. Thank you
	10:34am Robm: ↳ queems @10:33 Too many people there not masking up?
	10:35am βrian: In Ann Arbor there used to be the weekly Kiwanis sale which encompassed at leat 3 floors of an old downtown warehouse. Got some great furniture there. +bikes, clothes, dish ware …
	10:35am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "utopia and visions" by "don cherry" everything feels better w/ don cherry!
	10:36am steveo: ↳ Song: "utopia and visions" by "don cherry" so good possibly perfect
	10:36am queems: ↳ Robm @10:34 there's a special procedure at some of the outlets, where you line up with a bag and wait your turn to dig through tons of bins. i didn't know what to do so i noped out
	10:37am Trouble: i agree @northguinea!
	10:37am northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:31 nnnnnoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
	10:38am Robm: ↳ queems @10:36 In other words a real cattle call
	10:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ βrian @10:35 100 percent! Used it several times.
	10:40am Andres: Good morning, Trouble and all. Second hour atmospheric and meditative sounds are beautifully balancing out the cold grey rainy day around here.
	10:42am steveo: hmm, i should check out the goodwill in downtown brooklyn; haven't been there in a while. Bonus: there's 2 buses that go there so I can come back on a free transfer :D
	10:43am βrian: It's a snow day here. Coming down hard. Little Human is in lounge mode.
	10:43am ?: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:31 Arthur Lee & Love's had a "hit" with the Bacharach / David composition "My Little Red Book" Also done by Manfred Mann
	10:43am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Contenida" by "Lucrecia Dalt" I'll know my life is approaching normal once I have a wire subscription again...
	10:44am northguineahills: ↳ βrian @10:43 It's supposed to get up to 84F/29C down here, lousy weather..., i need it cold again...
	10:45am herb.nyc: burt bacharach died? ugh. i just took out a 2cd of his from the library. when jimmy webb did a b&n, he mentioned one song that really really impressed him: "burt bacharach's 'do you know the way to san jose', because how do you make the words fit into that musical pattern? brilliant" (paraphrased) RIP burt.
	10:45am Handy Haversack: ↳ steveo @10:42 The perfect crime!
	10:46am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ βrian @10:21 Go East! (Long Island)
	10:47am Magenta: ↳ Song: "Komoma Ya-Ya-Ya" by "miko & mubare" I like this energy. Also, RIP Burt Bacharach.
	10:50am G: I remember when "In the Rain"was charting that the music press had articles reporting that jukebox companies and bar owners were griping because it was 6 minutes long. They wanted labels to stick to 2-3 minute 45s so they would get more income.
	10:51am StringOFperils: That Washington Post obit for Burt Bacharach isn't as malign as it sounded above IMO. What hurts is that he's gone. He brought real sophistication to pop music on AM radio that was deceptively simple but really beautiful and transporting. Hearing it, as a child, was nothing less than discovering art as an idea; it was like a whole world opened up. Some of those hits are like little two minute concertos to the bittersweetness of life. Easy to pass off as piano-bar material, but for the listener that would be a tragedy. Most music doesn't even come close to the intelligence in that stuff.
	10:58am Roberto: Pour one out for Burt.
	10:58am Gaylord Fields: ↳ StringOFperils @10:51 When I first heard Burt, Hal, and Dionne as a child in the 1960s, I intuited through their sophisticated and soulful pop that if this is what being a grownup is, I needn't fear it.
	10:59am βrian: ↳ Gaylord Fields @10:58 I associated him with trips to Burger King. (I was a simple child.)
	11:01am alan the painter: ah oh, sounds lick mic break's comin up...gReat set Trouble! Yes, I love the Rain, wha'ev MotherNature giz me, butt I do lick the rain, bicycling south philly up to China town bus to westside, mans_hat_on, down greenway to BK bridge an over to DumpBoe an down2 to Red Hook in the rain, the coast at Gov. Is. like the 1500's in thee rain, I can see peg leg stomping about in the mins eye of a native washing er clothes in canal street river...
	11:01am herb.nyc: did burt get alotta cred from punks via the STIFFS LIVE record? elvis costello introduces "i just dont know what to do with myself" with "this song was written by burt bacharach and hal david". i heard this in college .
	11:03am alan the painter: B. Reynolds, caN't git the pic o burt hairy chest an al' flayed out on bare rug!
	11:04am βrian: ↳ Song: "sore lip" by "ritual" What is the vocal interjection, there?
	11:04am ldbl: ↳ βrian @11:04 "sore lip"
	11:05am βrian: ↳ ldbl @11:04 Thanks. That's my next T-shirt phrase, I guess.
	11:08am Magenta: Trouble, I love all the bird sounds in your show!
	11:10am Webhamster Henry: Burt has great chord changes and orchestrations! I like the Arthur Theme, which works well if you can come up with alternate lyrics. I sang "San Jose" with the Loser's Lounge in a previous lifetime, and made this Bacharach pastiche for my answering machine: www.echonyc.com...
	11:11am Roberto: I had a dream I was listening to rain on the radio.
	11:11am Yetz: All Kinds of People Love Burt Bacharach www.discogs.com...
	11:13am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "aisling gheal" by "ordnance survey" Ordance Survey was the British govt. mapping and renaming -- changing Irish placenames to English ones -- as one of the last major tightenings of the grip of colonialism in Ireland. See the excellent play Translations by Brian Friel.
	11:15am herb.nyc: thrift. fashion. anyone used to read the zine THRIFT SCORE by al hoff? i also have her book of the same name. absolutely terrific.
	11:15am Roberto: If you're going to introduce this concept to your school, definitely don't call it "naked lady parties."
	11:16am Handy Haversack: Gaylord will save us. I believe.
	11:16am herb.nyc: i'm very sure the TRASH WALKER has gone into the black trash bags of thrift shops. and they discard donations. ugh, ouch.
	11:17am love2laf: In Canada, lots of thrift stores will take unwearable clothes that are too damaged, and bundle and sell to mechanic shops, painting companies, paint stores, and the like. Extra life as rags, and the charity still gets some much needed cash.
	11:18am ?: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:10 There's several pages (maybe even a full chapter, I don't recall) in the Elvis Costello book "Unfaithful Music & disappearing Ink" about the masterful way Bacharach wrote. Well worth the read. I have the Bacharach / Costello disc "Painted From Memory" I love it. He was all over AM radio during my childhood & even then I felt he was really something special. Catchy but with twists & turns the other "hit makers" of the day, weren't capable of. He will be missed
	11:19am StringOFperils: Gaylord! Deliver the word! Anyone who has a heart needs this sad departure framed for them in a deserving way.
	11:19am Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @11:17 Here in NYC, cloth recycling exists only sporadically, but we have these "donation" boxes in gas stations and parking lots for clothes and shoes that are then sorted, sold in lots to thrift stores or, for the least wearable stuff, sent to Africa. It's a disaster.
	11:20am Gaylord Fields: @Handy Haversack @StringOFperils: I thank Trouble for the kind offer. I hope I'm able to do it, as well as do something even remotely worthy of Burt's talents.
	11:22am Roberto: OK right now I'm melodically/figuratively slappin' my millennial musician friend in the face who says she's never heard of Burt B.
	11:25am herb.nyc: ↳ Roberto @11:22 terese played the carpenters last night. the same fate may befall them.
	11:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:20 If anyone can, it's you, Gaylord. Looking forward to it already.
	11:26am Roberto: ↳ herb.nyc @11:25 Nah there's this hip-hop dude out there making videos to make sure the Carpenters stay relevant.
	11:27am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:26 Reaction videos, more specifically.
	11:28am Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:19 Most of the Green Markets in Manhattan offer textile recycling during specific hours.
	11:28am Zipperhead7: ↳ herb.nyc @11:25 I went to Tower Records with a South Asian friend years ago, and a big Beatles cutout was next to the register. My friend looked at the clerk and said "Who are Beatles? Are they big group?" The clerk's eyes practically popped out.
	11:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Roberto @11:28 Yes. Extremely specific. We stockpile textiles in the closet until somehow we manage to get the freedom to lug the massive bag to one of the specific hours.
	11:30am rw: Good morning! Sorry to hear about Burt Bacharach. Looking forward to that Gaylord tribute.
	11:30am oshiwoshi: ↳ Song: "i'm not ashamed" by "culture with I-roy" love it!
	11:30am StringOFperils: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:25 What Handy said, Gaylord. Personally, I wouldn't want to be charged with the task either.
	11:31am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Some prices at Goodwill in Albuquerque have gone through the roof. Smaller lesser known thrift stores sometimes have lower prices. However, GW still has decently priced shirts and pants for men.
	11:32am Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 Yeah one time we loaded up a Zipcar with bags of that shite.
	11:33am Handy Haversack: ↳ Roberto @11:32 It's a shite state of affairs.
	11:34am rsj: my kids thrift a lot, significant input to the open air crap share of brooklyn
	11:35am Zipperhead7: The thrift store around 235th and B'way in the Bronx had some magnificent art for sale, much of it on velvet
	11:36am mdaronco: I'm glad I have this show to remind me how much IRoy rules.
	11:36am TDK60: Funny Burt story. I just saw a documentary on Abbey Road studios. Cilla Black did a version of "Alfie" with Burt B. conducting. They did 14 harrowing takes. Burt asked George Martin if they had it by the 14th. Martin said, you already had it on take 4.
	11:38am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:18 Maybe Newark or Harlem or Patterson have better thrift stores?
	11:38am PJ: This is from Dionne Warwick's introduction to The Bacharach & David Songbook (1970): Good friends are those you want to be with as much as possible. Every time you're together, you learn from each other. Things you like and respect. As the friendship grows, you know you want others to meet them, enjoy their company, share your good fortune in knowing them. I'm not only talking about Burt and Hal. I'm also talking about the songs they have written. These men and their songs have been the very best friends I have ever had. They have made me aware of the beauty of the world as well as the heartaches -- helped me to know how to handle both extremes of living. They have helped me grow up in my understanding of myself and others.
	11:40am PJ: @?: Painted from Memory is being reissued this year with an extra disc of songs that, I believe, Elvis and Burt wrote for a musical that has yet to be produced.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @11:38 I'm sure. But the transpo cost and time sunk into it are just really hard to come by. I can barely make it out of the neighborhood most days.
	11:43am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "silent morning" by "noel" #47 in 1987? I don't remember it.
	11:44am Karl Ward: ↳ McGroovey @11:43 ...yet Noel remembers you...
	11:46am abbazabba: Its a gettin funkee in here
	11:47am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Quick hello/goodbye, crazy AM and another meeting soon but wanted to say thanks for the great set and commentary!
	11:48am abbazabba: In 1987, I was 9 years old and jammin hard to Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard haha
	11:48am Mike From Brooklyn: @Gaylord Fields - What Handy said. No pressure. I'm looking forward to anything you have to play & say about Burt Bacharach. I'll have to catch it on the archives though, given my soon to be temporarily changed time zone.
	11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:47 Hi. Good luck with your virtual cat-herding!
	11:49am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 And I hear you HH RE transport costs. COVID and working from home really made my immediate 6 block radius most of my world, I feel blessed that all of my immediate needs can fit within that, including medical care (right by Mt. Sinai Astoria).

	11:50am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 And recall that I can't ride a bike, so my "tires" are pretty much the soles of one of my zillion pairs of DMs that I've accumulated over the years...Chuck Taylors or sandals in the summer...

	11:51am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "westbound # 9" by "the flaming ember" This takes me back. I used to tune into WLS out of Chicago, when I was a kid in northern Ontario (very far away). One of the big records that changed my mind about soul music.
	11:52am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Alas, have to get offline to run yet another meeting in a bit...

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.

	9:06am Trouble: good morning thursday humans and birds
	9:06am Yetz: ↳ Song: "sound of an unperplexed wren- instrumental" by "b... I'm waiting for the Merton, but I guess this is just the music part. I think I need to pick up this record.
	9:06am terminalhipness: Grey and wet in Chicagoland. This music is perfect. Good morning all.
	9:07am Webhamster Henry: Good Modern World Morning to you all!
	9:07am Yetz: ↳ terminalhipness @9:06 At least the rain is washing away the excessive salt that's crusted all over everything!
	9:08am steveo: good morning modern world liz durette, always a favorite
	9:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and those familiar with trouble.
	9:09am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "cricket suite" by "liz durette" I enjoy Liz' casual approach to pitch.
	9:09am terminalhipness: ↳ Yetz @9:07 Indeed!
	9:13am abbazabba: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:09 hahaha
	9:14am MilMil: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:09 hahaah 🤣
	9:15am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble, that Liz Durette was beautiful, good morning Thursday listeners. Still dark here in the PNW.
	9:15am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "cricket suite" by "liz durette" Apparently, this was released in 2020 right before general COVID lockdowns, and she released another one a few months later: lizdurette.bandcamp.com...
	9:17am Phillippe: Good morning
	9:17am Phillippe: ↳ Song: "spring is here" by "nina simone" love this
	9:18am Trouble: www.federalregister.gov...
	9:19am Trouble: i just posted something of great concern to music lovers: US quadruples fees for foreign musicians touring in the us, making it prohibitively expensive for small acts. post a comment via the link if you can
	9:20am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "glow worms" by "vashti bunyan" Vashti Bunyan, who heard a Joni Mitchell record and decided she wasn't "good enough" and stopped singing for 30+ years
	9:20am Polyus: ↳ Song: "spring is here" by "nina simone" okay I don't know what this "spring" is but here in MN we're doing cartwheels because it got all the way up to freezing.
	9:20am Yetz: ↳ Song: "the easy way" by "The Jimmy Giuffre 3" Jimmy!
	9:22am Malcolm: Thank you for the beautiful music
	9:22am Zinn The Mood: Hey Troublemakers. Music is as perfectly chosen as ever, Trouble. Thanks; you’re amazing! Got one kid home sick for a second day. While I’m also apparently dealing with some kind of throat/lung infection. Particularly heinous winter, a not so merry go round of all of us with various sicknesses, including two weeks of giving each other Covid. Took the kids to the East Elmhurst library last weekend and were treated to an excellent jazz quintet playing in the adjacent community room. Whenever in that area of Queens I’m silently paying tribute/communing with Malcolm X, whose last (and longest?) residence was a few blocks away from the library. Picked up the James Cone book “Martin & Malcolm & America: a dream or a nightmare.” It’s good.
	9:22am Lord Jimz: Wow, thank you.
	9:23am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Trouble @9:19 Ugh, it's like a music tariff. What jerk came up with this idea?
	9:24am Zipperhead7: Good morning, Troubled modernists!
	9:24am uselysses: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:22 The kid / illness revolving door is a nightmare, hope you all feel better soon
	9:24am Yetz: ↳ Song: "the easy way" by "The Jimmy Giuffre 3" Jimmy Giuffre 3 + Jim Hall on guitar.
	9:25am Lord Jimz: Ray!
	9:26am Lord Jimz: Had the honor of playing with Jimmy in the early 90's.
	9:27am uselysses: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:23 Seriously. “boy, if there’s one thing that drives me bananas it’s how economically feasible it’s been to date for international musicians to share their culture with us”
	9:28am Handy Haversack: Wearing a New Model Army shirt today. Haven't seen them since like 2013 because it was already too expensive for independent acts to tour from the UK. Easier for them to play Brazil than New York City. Way to go, America.
	9:28am steveo: will be celebrating Sandy Bull's birthday on 2/25
	9:29am Rich in Washington: Still want to see the Sandy Bull documentary made by his daughter but it seems perpetually lost in some festival circuit limbo.
	9:30am TDK60: The DHS needs more dough? P'phaw! / Sandy, one of our freakfolke granddads.
	9:33am iiibeat: I think that I just ate some dish soap.
	9:33am Karl Ward: ↳ iiibeat @9:33 Round here we call that "culinary free jazz."
	9:35am Zipperhead7: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:29 Here's the trailer: vimeo.com... i first heard him when "Memphis" was used on the soundtrack of a film with hippies capering around. Can't remember the title but would love to see that movie again
	9:35am Trouble: I hope it's not a xenophobic response, but just an easy way to tax someone who can't complain. the club scene is barely functioning in a way that allows small acts to tour without losing $, and now this? I had telebossa stay at my house when they came over to play a few gigs locally in 2011. one of them had to rent a cello here so as not to arouse suspicion that they might be coming over to play. that won't be so easy now to avoid johnny law.
	9:37am SHAGALOV: Goood morning Trouble and all!
	9:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @9:35 Not to mention how it will affect our domestic cello-rental industry!
	9:39am SHAGALOV: @Trouble what happened with your Facebook?! missed it out 👀
	9:41am Rock Ridge Chess Club: With the little guy out of school with a bug, I've decided it would be a good time to learn cursive. Wish me luck.
	9:43am Trouble: i am sorry @ shagalov: i shut it down because i hate META and all that they stand for. I am on instagram which is a lesser evil but still owned by him. sadness. go to giantpompom on instagram.
	9:46am Mike W.: i had forgotten that, when you’re down, like, really down, you can put on a Sandy Bull side, and afterward the world seems like a different place for a while.
	9:47am SHAGALOV: ↳ Trouble @9:43 I understand and very much share your beliefs. Sure, I'll continue to follow U on Instgrm. However, WFMU still remains the most important platform ♡
	9:47am garlic lover: Wow Sandy’s rippn!
	9:52am Mike W.: Not only is there a Vsshti Bunyan biography, but t-shirt company 1 of 100 made a ltd ed shirt printed with the dog drawing from the bottom of the book’s cover
	9:54am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "cricket suite" by "liz durette" Polyphonic keyboard: If it's black silicone, it's a ROLI Seaboard, if red + black fabric it's a Continuum, if its a bunch of lights under acrylic, it's a Linnstrument, and if it's a rubbery bunch of keys, it's a McMillen K-Board.
	9:55am riley: www.theguardian.com...
	9:56am queems: that's awesome, spinning/dyeing is so satisfying
	9:56am captain beef fart: but I must keep getting WFMU t-shirts!
	9:57am abbazabba: 60 percent more!?!?! That is absolutely insane and repulsive. CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME NOM NOM NOM
	9:57am Handy Haversack: Jeez, if I buy five pieces of clothing in a year, it's only because Goblin has eaten my socks. FMU T-shirts don't count as purchases, of course.
	9:57am Vivian: RE: high turnover of clothes by consumers- one of the reasons why I shop thrift.
	9:57am lee b: https://fabscrap.org/ Great org!
	9:58am queems: even thrift stores are getting expensive
	9:58am Barbara in PA: And then there's the microfiber problem
	9:58am Handy Haversack: ↳ queems @9:58 In Brooklyn? Fuhgedaboutit.
	9:58am Crownless Gander: Thanks for the yarn yarn, Trouble. Morning, everyone! Late to the party.
	9:59am abbazabba: I have to wear a dress shirt to work everyday. I work 5 days a week but only have 4 dress shirts. I gotta get my shit together
	9:59am Trouble: yes@ barbara in PA! the microfiber problem!!! i have always hated polyester...
	9:59am Yetz: ↳ abbazabba @9:59 you gotta get your shirt together. dropped an 'r' there.
	9:59am abbazabba: And I will not start doing laundry more than 1x per week
	10:00am abbazabba: ↳ Yetz @9:59 hahaha that's great!
	10:01am queems: pro tip- you can get great formal clothes and dress shoes on ebay. i buy all of my dresses on there when i have to go to a wedding or special event. sometimes they still have the tags on them.
	10:02am Zipperhead7: Thanks for the book recommendations, Trouble. Any suggestions for audiobooks? We loved Anna Burns' "The Milkman!"
	10:02am Vivian: ↳ queems @9:58 That is true. I remember the days where I could find a really cool shirt for 50 cents. Not anymore. However, the prices are still cheaper than online/stores - and you're not contributing to the landfill. I'm happy finding a pair of decent cords for $3, which I can wear for work or at the studio.
	10:03am PaulRobeson1923: Good morning, WFMU World Burt Bacharach has passed on
	10:03am Leo: This Perpetual Bridge track is lovely stuff
	10:04am Vivian: Here's a question - has anyone used an online consignment store, such as Thred Up?
	10:04am Leo: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @10:03 oh wow
	10:04am PaulRobeson1923: Like we all will be, someday
	10:04am Trimegistus: Great show as usual!!! Sounds good while driving too!
	10:05am queems: ↳ Vivian @10:04 i've used poshmark, but only once and only to buy
	10:06am Trouble: @zipperhead: you are my people! anna burns the milkman is one of my tip top faves. I listen to audio books through the library, but hoopla doesn't always have the newest titles. i do love the new yorker fiction podcast. they have an author choose and read another author's short story. super great people and then they discuss at the end
	10:07am Polly.: morris street mission in morristown nj has an huge amount of clothes at thrift pricing. also furnitures home items etc
	10:08am queems: also estate sales are great for clothes. i've found some real gems in random people's closets
	10:10am ldbl: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:02 Burns' earlier work, Little Constructions, is also terrific!
	10:10am Polly.: ↳ Polly. @10:07 make that Market St Mission in Morristown NJ
	10:10am Trouble: @zipperhead: i recently listened to my first muriel spark audio book; the mandelbaum gate. it was as fab as reading it, which is a high compliment
	10:11am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ PaulRobeson1923 @10:04 Returned to where we came from
	10:12am Jason from Houston: Hey there.
	10:13am Jason from Houston: That's a good Bill Traylor. Dang.
	10:14am Trouble: more info about the artist Bill Traylor up at the top of today's playlist: amazing stuff!! americanart.si.edu...
	10:15am Handy Haversack: ↳ queems @10:01 I am off Ebay after the toxic and felonious actions of its executives. Which means I have zero clue how to get clothes that I can't find in the neighborhood. I have patched this pair of jeans three times, and I don't know how much longer I can keep it going, but I just have no clue how to get more. Lost without a map over here.
	10:16am sydnius: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:15 Thrift!
	10:17am Vivian: ↳ queems @10:05 Thanks Queems. I'm thinking about selling some of my 'corporate' clothes. Have no need for them.
	10:18am Handy Haversack: ↳ sydnius @10:16 The local thrift stores are insanely expensive, picked over, and aimed at 25-year-old women. Gentrified Brooklyn has no pity.
	10:21am βrian: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:18 Go west, young listener!
	10:21am Baja Joe: Good morning Trouble and all listening so intensely, it hurts!
	10:22am Jason from Houston: The Menil has a few drawings in their collection. Or the Smithers collection. No chickens, though!
	10:22am queems: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:18 the salvation army on the corner of steinway street and 34th ave always treated me well, but that was several years ago now. still might be worth a shot
	10:23am Handy Haversack: Greenpoint's Salvation Army is now a sushi restaurant.
	10:24am StringOFperils: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:23 Are silverfish an entree?
	10:24am βrian: We have two St. Vinny's in Madison that are my spouse's most reliable source of work clothing.
	10:27am Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "in the rain" by "the dramatics" THIS SONG RIGHT HERE
	10:27am Robm: @Handy and queems is there any goodwills in your area?
	10:29am herb.nyc: just tuned in. thrift. yay! in a sheepshead bay freebie is ad: st james thrift shop clearance, sat 2/11 10 - 3pm. 2276 gerritsen ave, household items clothes 718 743 1788 to left of ad: senior male seeks senior woman...
	10:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ βrian @10:24 That was a go-to when we were in Ann Arbor.
	10:30am Malcolm: A real DJ time traveller number this
	10:31am Trouble: exactly@malcolm
	10:31am Zipperhead7: The WaPo obit for Bacharach was somewhat condescending -- referred to him providing the "cocktail party playlist . . . for the shag carpet era" and sent the "listener floating down a martini river." C'mon -- the Shirelles' "Baby It's You" is one of the greatest records of all time. Heartbreak bordering on nihilism
	10:32am mb: Morning Trouble and fans of
	10:33am queems: ↳ Robm @10:27 there are a couple around, but not particularly close. there is one of those giant goodwill outlets off rt 80, but the last time i went to one of those (long island city) i panicked and left
	10:33am katharsis: Hellos Trouble and all. I am out here listening. Just lovely. Thank you
	10:34am Robm: ↳ queems @10:33 Too many people there not masking up?
	10:35am βrian: In Ann Arbor there used to be the weekly Kiwanis sale which encompassed at leat 3 floors of an old downtown warehouse. Got some great furniture there. +bikes, clothes, dish ware …
	10:35am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "utopia and visions" by "don cherry" everything feels better w/ don cherry!
	10:36am steveo: ↳ Song: "utopia and visions" by "don cherry" so good possibly perfect
	10:36am queems: ↳ Robm @10:34 there's a special procedure at some of the outlets, where you line up with a bag and wait your turn to dig through tons of bins. i didn't know what to do so i noped out
	10:37am Trouble: i agree @northguinea!
	10:37am northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:31 nnnnnoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
	10:38am Robm: ↳ queems @10:36 In other words a real cattle call
	10:39am Handy Haversack: ↳ βrian @10:35 100 percent! Used it several times.
	10:40am Andres: Good morning, Trouble and all. Second hour atmospheric and meditative sounds are beautifully balancing out the cold grey rainy day around here.
	10:42am steveo: hmm, i should check out the goodwill in downtown brooklyn; haven't been there in a while. Bonus: there's 2 buses that go there so I can come back on a free transfer :D
	10:43am βrian: It's a snow day here. Coming down hard. Little Human is in lounge mode.
	10:43am ?: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:31 Arthur Lee & Love's had a "hit" with the Bacharach / David composition "My Little Red Book" Also done by Manfred Mann
	10:43am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Contenida" by "Lucrecia Dalt" I'll know my life is approaching normal once I have a wire subscription again...
	10:44am northguineahills: ↳ βrian @10:43 It's supposed to get up to 84F/29C down here, lousy weather..., i need it cold again...
	10:45am herb.nyc: burt bacharach died? ugh. i just took out a 2cd of his from the library. when jimmy webb did a b&n, he mentioned one song that really really impressed him: "burt bacharach's 'do you know the way to san jose', because how do you make the words fit into that musical pattern? brilliant" (paraphrased) RIP burt.
	10:45am Handy Haversack: ↳ steveo @10:42 The perfect crime!
	10:46am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ βrian @10:21 Go East! (Long Island)
	10:47am Magenta: ↳ Song: "Komoma Ya-Ya-Ya" by "miko & mubare" I like this energy. Also, RIP Burt Bacharach.
	10:50am G: I remember when "In the Rain"was charting that the music press had articles reporting that jukebox companies and bar owners were griping because it was 6 minutes long. They wanted labels to stick to 2-3 minute 45s so they would get more income.
	10:51am StringOFperils: That Washington Post obit for Burt Bacharach isn't as malign as it sounded above IMO. What hurts is that he's gone. He brought real sophistication to pop music on AM radio that was deceptively simple but really beautiful and transporting. Hearing it, as a child, was nothing less than discovering art as an idea; it was like a whole world opened up. Some of those hits are like little two minute concertos to the bittersweetness of life. Easy to pass off as piano-bar material, but for the listener that would be a tragedy. Most music doesn't even come close to the intelligence in that stuff.
	10:58am Roberto: Pour one out for Burt.
	10:58am Gaylord Fields: ↳ StringOFperils @10:51 When I first heard Burt, Hal, and Dionne as a child in the 1960s, I intuited through their sophisticated and soulful pop that if this is what being a grownup is, I needn't fear it.
	10:59am βrian: ↳ Gaylord Fields @10:58 I associated him with trips to Burger King. (I was a simple child.)
	11:01am alan the painter: ah oh, sounds lick mic break's comin up...gReat set Trouble! Yes, I love the Rain, wha'ev MotherNature giz me, butt I do lick the rain, bicycling south philly up to China town bus to westside, mans_hat_on, down greenway to BK bridge an over to DumpBoe an down2 to Red Hook in the rain, the coast at Gov. Is. like the 1500's in thee rain, I can see peg leg stomping about in the mins eye of a native washing er clothes in canal street river...
	11:01am herb.nyc: did burt get alotta cred from punks via the STIFFS LIVE record? elvis costello introduces "i just dont know what to do with myself" with "this song was written by burt bacharach and hal david". i heard this in college .
	11:03am alan the painter: B. Reynolds, caN't git the pic o burt hairy chest an al' flayed out on bare rug!
	11:04am βrian: ↳ Song: "sore lip" by "ritual" What is the vocal interjection, there?
	11:04am ldbl: ↳ βrian @11:04 "sore lip"
	11:05am βrian: ↳ ldbl @11:04 Thanks. That's my next T-shirt phrase, I guess.
	11:08am Magenta: Trouble, I love all the bird sounds in your show!
	11:10am Webhamster Henry: Burt has great chord changes and orchestrations! I like the Arthur Theme, which works well if you can come up with alternate lyrics. I sang "San Jose" with the Loser's Lounge in a previous lifetime, and made this Bacharach pastiche for my answering machine: www.echonyc.com...
	11:11am Roberto: I had a dream I was listening to rain on the radio.
	11:11am Yetz: All Kinds of People Love Burt Bacharach www.discogs.com...
	11:13am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "aisling gheal" by "ordnance survey" Ordance Survey was the British govt. mapping and renaming -- changing Irish placenames to English ones -- as one of the last major tightenings of the grip of colonialism in Ireland. See the excellent play Translations by Brian Friel.
	11:15am herb.nyc: thrift. fashion. anyone used to read the zine THRIFT SCORE by al hoff? i also have her book of the same name. absolutely terrific.
	11:15am Roberto: If you're going to introduce this concept to your school, definitely don't call it "naked lady parties."
	11:16am Handy Haversack: Gaylord will save us. I believe.
	11:16am herb.nyc: i'm very sure the TRASH WALKER has gone into the black trash bags of thrift shops. and they discard donations. ugh, ouch.
	11:17am love2laf: In Canada, lots of thrift stores will take unwearable clothes that are too damaged, and bundle and sell to mechanic shops, painting companies, paint stores, and the like. Extra life as rags, and the charity still gets some much needed cash.
	11:18am ?: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:10 There's several pages (maybe even a full chapter, I don't recall) in the Elvis Costello book "Unfaithful Music & disappearing Ink" about the masterful way Bacharach wrote. Well worth the read. I have the Bacharach / Costello disc "Painted From Memory" I love it. He was all over AM radio during my childhood & even then I felt he was really something special. Catchy but with twists & turns the other "hit makers" of the day, weren't capable of. He will be missed
	11:19am StringOFperils: Gaylord! Deliver the word! Anyone who has a heart needs this sad departure framed for them in a deserving way.
	11:19am Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @11:17 Here in NYC, cloth recycling exists only sporadically, but we have these "donation" boxes in gas stations and parking lots for clothes and shoes that are then sorted, sold in lots to thrift stores or, for the least wearable stuff, sent to Africa. It's a disaster.
	11:20am Gaylord Fields: @Handy Haversack @StringOFperils: I thank Trouble for the kind offer. I hope I'm able to do it, as well as do something even remotely worthy of Burt's talents.
	11:22am Roberto: OK right now I'm melodically/figuratively slappin' my millennial musician friend in the face who says she's never heard of Burt B.
	11:25am herb.nyc: ↳ Roberto @11:22 terese played the carpenters last night. the same fate may befall them.
	11:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ Gaylord Fields @11:20 If anyone can, it's you, Gaylord. Looking forward to it already.
	11:26am Roberto: ↳ herb.nyc @11:25 Nah there's this hip-hop dude out there making videos to make sure the Carpenters stay relevant.
	11:27am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:26 Reaction videos, more specifically.
	11:28am Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:19 Most of the Green Markets in Manhattan offer textile recycling during specific hours.
	11:28am Zipperhead7: ↳ herb.nyc @11:25 I went to Tower Records with a South Asian friend years ago, and a big Beatles cutout was next to the register. My friend looked at the clerk and said "Who are Beatles? Are they big group?" The clerk's eyes practically popped out.
	11:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ Roberto @11:28 Yes. Extremely specific. We stockpile textiles in the closet until somehow we manage to get the freedom to lug the massive bag to one of the specific hours.
	11:30am rw: Good morning! Sorry to hear about Burt Bacharach. Looking forward to that Gaylord tribute.
	11:30am oshiwoshi: ↳ Song: "i'm not ashamed" by "culture with I-roy" love it!
	11:30am StringOFperils: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:25 What Handy said, Gaylord. Personally, I wouldn't want to be charged with the task either.
	11:31am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Some prices at Goodwill in Albuquerque have gone through the roof. Smaller lesser known thrift stores sometimes have lower prices. However, GW still has decently priced shirts and pants for men.
	11:32am Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:30 Yeah one time we loaded up a Zipcar with bags of that shite.
	11:33am Handy Haversack: ↳ Roberto @11:32 It's a shite state of affairs.
	11:34am rsj: my kids thrift a lot, significant input to the open air crap share of brooklyn
	11:35am Zipperhead7: The thrift store around 235th and B'way in the Bronx had some magnificent art for sale, much of it on velvet
	11:36am mdaronco: I'm glad I have this show to remind me how much IRoy rules.
	11:36am TDK60: Funny Burt story. I just saw a documentary on Abbey Road studios. Cilla Black did a version of "Alfie" with Burt B. conducting. They did 14 harrowing takes. Burt asked George Martin if they had it by the 14th. Martin said, you already had it on take 4.
	11:38am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:18 Maybe Newark or Harlem or Patterson have better thrift stores?
	11:38am PJ: This is from Dionne Warwick's introduction to The Bacharach & David Songbook (1970): Good friends are those you want to be with as much as possible. Every time you're together, you learn from each other. Things you like and respect. As the friendship grows, you know you want others to meet them, enjoy their company, share your good fortune in knowing them. I'm not only talking about Burt and Hal. I'm also talking about the songs they have written. These men and their songs have been the very best friends I have ever had. They have made me aware of the beauty of the world as well as the heartaches -- helped me to know how to handle both extremes of living. They have helped me grow up in my understanding of myself and others.
	11:40am PJ: @?: Painted from Memory is being reissued this year with an extra disc of songs that, I believe, Elvis and Burt wrote for a musical that has yet to be produced.
	11:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @11:38 I'm sure. But the transpo cost and time sunk into it are just really hard to come by. I can barely make it out of the neighborhood most days.
	11:43am McGroovey: ↳ Song: "silent morning" by "noel" #47 in 1987? I don't remember it.
	11:44am Karl Ward: ↳ McGroovey @11:43 ...yet Noel remembers you...
	11:46am abbazabba: Its a gettin funkee in here
	11:47am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Quick hello/goodbye, crazy AM and another meeting soon but wanted to say thanks for the great set and commentary!
	11:48am abbazabba: In 1987, I was 9 years old and jammin hard to Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard haha
	11:48am Mike From Brooklyn: @Gaylord Fields - What Handy said. No pressure. I'm looking forward to anything you have to play & say about Burt Bacharach. I'll have to catch it on the archives though, given my soon to be temporarily changed time zone.
	11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:47 Hi. Good luck with your virtual cat-herding!
	11:49am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 And I hear you HH RE transport costs. COVID and working from home really made my immediate 6 block radius most of my world, I feel blessed that all of my immediate needs can fit within that, including medical care (right by Mt. Sinai Astoria).
	11:50am Gaylord Fields: ↳ Mike From Brooklyn @11:48 Thanks!
	11:50am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 And recall that I can't ride a bike, so my "tires" are pretty much the soles of one of my zillion pairs of DMs that I've accumulated over the years...Chuck Taylors or sandals in the summer...
	11:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ Mike From Brooklyn @11:48 Hey, Mike!
	11:51am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning! see you next week!
	11:51am Handy Haversack: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:50 Same, Threemoons. For reals.
	11:51am Mike From Brooklyn: Hi Trouble, Handy Haversack, Herb.NYC, Webhamster Henry, McGroovey!
	11:51am Jason from Houston: ↳ Song: "westbound # 9" by "the flaming ember" I gotta check out these comps!
	11:51am StringOFperils: ↳ Song: "westbound # 9" by "the flaming ember" This takes me back. I used to tune into WLS out of Chicago, when I was a kid in northern Ontario (very far away). One of the big records that changed my mind about soul music.
	11:52am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Alas, have to get offline to run yet another meeting in a bit...
	11:53am eileen_tooth: 👋🏻 hi everybody
