	♥ 10:07am Trouble: this song is way better than the movie, sadly
	♥ 10:09am Zip7: ↳ Trouble @10:07 I saw it at a theater in Tulsa with a largely black audience. That was an intense experience. Lots of audience commentary
	10:09am Tony From Chicago: ↳ Trouble @10:07 True, like a lot of the Blacksploitation movies of the period.

	♥ 10:10am NotARealDoctor: Don't have much time to hang out on the playlist but I keep having to log back in to click stars this morning
	10:11am βrian: Breakfast: One head of broccoli, steamed.
	♥ 10:19am tom tom the pipers son: image at top reminds me, one time installing photographs for schomberg center at unilever corporate headquarters for black history month, the installers installed them in the hallways of the corporate meetings rooms, the next year we were back again but this time we were told to install the photos in the hallways adjacent to loading dock. was it because they figured that's where all the people of color worked at unilever? one white lady walked past a pretty innocent image of a lindy hopper mid air with her underwear showing and her dance partner looking up at her, she said 'we don't need that kind of stuff here'... unclear what she really meant....

	♥ 10:30am steveo: ↳ Song: "rap-o clap-o" by "joe bataan" So fun
	♥ 10:32am Chris Hiatt: Gotta run, ears are on!
	10:35am Firepitmama: Loved meeting Joe Bataan on Saturday at the record fair! He was kind enough to pick me out a 45 from his stack, signed it, and asked for a pic with me! He was so very kind and great to talk with. The 45 he chose for me side 1: Sadie (She smokes) side 2: Always and Forever.
	♥ 10:36am listener james from westwood: Ohhh, the two-Record-Fairs-per-year era . . . those were the days. I miss being young enough to volunteer there two or three days for each.
	10:38am βrian: My cat thinks this program is just dandy and has taken up residence on my lap.
	♥ 10:40am Trouble: hard to dance with a cat on your lap @ brian...

	10:47am Robm: ↳ love2laf @10:46 doing some chair dancing myself L2L
	10:48am Robm: ↳ Robm @10:46 also facebook and what was formerly twitter has not helped either
	♥ 10:48am Micheal: Sister Sledge is dynamite! Thanks, Trouble!
	10:50am βrian: eXtwitter
	10:51am Robm: ↳ Song: "love don't you go through no changes on me" by "s... i knew they did other stuff besides we are family
	♥ 10:51am tom tom the pipers son: thought the term 'northern soul' only meant british music
	♥ 10:52am listener james from westwood: Visage!!
	10:52am Robm: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:51 could have meant the northeast of the us too!!!!
	♥ 10:55am Trouble: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:55am Handy Haversack: ↳ listener james from westwood @10:52 Pre-clicky-starred after spelling correction!
	♥ 10:57am the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:51 It was a kind of youth movement in the North of England in the 70s, rejecting prog and glam-rock and looking to the US R&B charts of the time for authenticity.
	♥ 10:57am Zip7: Ah, Gal Costa. A chance encounter with her means it's gonna be a good day
	♥ 10:58am the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:51 It was powered by amphetamines and they got really into their elaborate dance moves - worth checking out a documentary, it was quite a thing. Some of the musicians came over to perform, and a few found themselves so at home that they stayed!
	10:58am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you for the fun, Trouble. I must go to work.
	♥ 10:58am Yes: ↳ Song: "Lingua Do P" by "gal costa" <333
	♥ 10:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @10:57 yes i know, was wondering why sister sledge, an american group, was on northern soul comp
	10:59am rx "rexy" scabin: A cat just jumped onto mylap, so I cannot go.
	♥ 11:00am dreamyandseedy: ↳ Song: "my baby just cares for me" by "nina simone" also perfect!
	♥ 11:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @10:58 thx, did not know that
	11:02am TDK60: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @10:58 Howdy Hurston moor-elf. Southern soul.
	♥ 11:02am Barney Grubbs: I was out of town for the record fair, but my kid went w/ her boy friend & said she found your table--not sure if she said hello or bought anything, but she has been listening to your dj premium cds since she was wee.
	♥ 11:02am Joe R.: ↳ Song: "my baby just cares for me" by "nina simone" Kind of hate myself for mainly knowing this song from a (car?) commercial :/
	♥ 11:03am the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:00 To clarify, ALL the 'Northern Soul' music was of US origin. No one in the UK was trying to create any. But it kind of became a genre of soul music in its own right, as there were big "hits" on the UK scene that were little known in the USA. Hey TDK!
	11:05am TDK60: I just saw on a calendar that today is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the War Resisters League -WRL. Sadly, they still have reasons to exist..........
	♥ 11:06am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @11:03 thx, now i get it...
	♥ 11:06am Handy Haversack: I saw a movie about Northern Soul once, a regular dramatic movie, not a doc. I think I was in a Scottish hotel? Or some kind of hotel.
	♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: ↳ Barney Grubbs @11:02 I think I saw your kid! I couldn't figure out why I recognized her, but now it all makes sense!
	♥ 11:09am Joe R.: I enjoyed “Young Soul Rebels: A Personal History of Northern Soul” by Stuart Cosgrove—I thought it was a good and thorough history of the scene with its evolution and ups and downs
	♥ 11:10am Barney Grubbs: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:07 cool! they had an adventure getting there & back on the LIRR (no eastbound service from woodside after so they had to take the 7 in to grand central and catch a train there), but had fun I think.
	11:13am Kelly Jones: Great show Trouble… dancing EVEN before finishing my coffee!
	11:14am Andres: ↳ Song: "the vulture" by "Labi Siffre" Digging this! Thought it was Jamiroquai for a moment. Also dig him. :)
	♥ 11:14am Handy Haversack: I'm gonna move this dance party to the Bathroom Boombox and cut my hair and shower. Will be listening, but in case I don't make it back to the keyboard in time, thanks, Trouble! This has been one wild party!
	♥ 11:15am dreamyandseedy: ↳ Song: "the vulture" by "Labi Siffre" one of my favorite birds!
	♥ 11:15am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:14 Imagining cats batting at tufts of falling hair 💇‍♂️
	♥ 11:16am Joe R.: ↳ Song: "the vulture" by "Labi Siffre" wow, this is the same guy who did “It Must Be Love”, “Crying Laughing Loving Lying”!
	11:17am Andres: ↳ Joe R. @11:16 Just learned the same. Gonna have to dig deeper on his work.
	♥ 11:17am Trouble: @ barney: your daughter is a doll! so sweet. we talked lots...
	♥ 11:17am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:15 Bugbear is monitoring the situation.
	11:22am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:17 HH: Careful skankin' in the bathroom!
	♥ 11:25am Barney Grubbs: ↳ Trouble @11:17 great to hear it! I wish I could have made it too, but probably better they got a little parent-free adventure.
	♥ 11:28am Karl: ↳ Song: "yes we can can" by "sly & robbie" Ol’ Dirty Bastard lyric reference brain region activated
	♥ 11:28am melinda: morning friends
	11:30am northguineahills: wow, i think i finally slept again..
	11:33am northguineahills: i have plenty of JA vinyl w/ the label off-center (or even the spindle hole off-center)
	♥ 11:37am sydniuß: Dance New Jersey, Dance Now!
	♥ 11:38am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Kelly Jones @11:13 I hope you're done with your coffee now! Hear them beats!
	♥ 11:43am Handy Haversack: And lo! I am shorn.
	♥ 11:45am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:43 Less shampoo ==> More money available for WFMU pledges Brilliant!
	♥ 11:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @11:45 Always thinking!

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.

	10:06am Tony From Chicago: Great segue. This song came into my earworm as the Harlem River Drive song was on. I love good Trouble WFMU DJ.
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: this song is way better than the movie, sadly
	♥ 10:09am Zip7: ↳ Trouble @10:07 I saw it at a theater in Tulsa with a largely black audience. That was an intense experience. Lots of audience commentary

	10:11am βrian: Breakfast: One head of broccoli, steamed.
	♥ 10:19am tom tom the pipers son: image at top reminds me, one time installing photographs for schomberg center at unilever corporate headquarters for black history month, the installers installed them in the hallways of the corporate meetings rooms, the next year we were back again but this time we were told to install the photos in the hallways adjacent to loading dock. was it because they figured that's where all the people of color worked at unilever? one white lady walked past a pretty innocent image of a lindy hopper mid air with her underwear showing and her dance partner looking up at her, she said 'we don't need that kind of stuff here'... unclear what she really meant....

	10:35am Firepitmama: Loved meeting Joe Bataan on Saturday at the record fair! He was kind enough to pick me out a 45 from his stack, signed it, and asked for a pic with me! He was so very kind and great to talk with. The 45 he chose for me side 1: Sadie (She smokes) side 2: Always and Forever.
	♥ 10:36am listener james from westwood: Ohhh, the two-Record-Fairs-per-year era . . . those were the days. I miss being young enough to volunteer there two or three days for each.

	10:51am Robm: ↳ Song: "love don't you go through no changes on me" by "s... i knew they did other stuff besides we are family
	♥ 10:51am tom tom the pipers son: thought the term 'northern soul' only meant british music
	♥ 10:52am listener james from westwood: Visage!!
	10:52am Robm: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:51 could have meant the northeast of the us too!!!!
	♥ 10:55am Trouble: en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:55am Handy Haversack: ↳ listener james from westwood @10:52 Pre-clicky-starred after spelling correction!
	♥ 10:57am the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:51 It was a kind of youth movement in the North of England in the 70s, rejecting prog and glam-rock and looking to the US R&B charts of the time for authenticity.
	♥ 10:57am Zip7: Ah, Gal Costa. A chance encounter with her means it's gonna be a good day
	♥ 10:58am the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:51 It was powered by amphetamines and they got really into their elaborate dance moves - worth checking out a documentary, it was quite a thing. Some of the musicians came over to perform, and a few found themselves so at home that they stayed!
	10:58am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you for the fun, Trouble. I must go to work.
	♥ 10:58am Yes: ↳ Song: "Lingua Do P" by "gal costa" <333
	♥ 10:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @10:57 yes i know, was wondering why sister sledge, an american group, was on northern soul comp
	10:59am rx "rexy" scabin: A cat just jumped onto mylap, so I cannot go.
	♥ 11:00am dreamyandseedy: ↳ Song: "my baby just cares for me" by "nina simone" also perfect!
	♥ 11:00am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @10:58 thx, did not know that
	11:02am TDK60: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @10:58 Howdy Hurston moor-elf. Southern soul.
	♥ 11:02am Barney Grubbs: I was out of town for the record fair, but my kid went w/ her boy friend & said she found your table--not sure if she said hello or bought anything, but she has been listening to your dj premium cds since she was wee.
	♥ 11:02am Joe R.: ↳ Song: "my baby just cares for me" by "nina simone" Kind of hate myself for mainly knowing this song from a (car?) commercial :/
	♥ 11:03am the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:00 To clarify, ALL the 'Northern Soul' music was of US origin. No one in the UK was trying to create any. But it kind of became a genre of soul music in its own right, as there were big "hits" on the UK scene that were little known in the USA. Hey TDK!
	11:05am TDK60: I just saw on a calendar that today is the 100th anniversary of the founding of the War Resisters League -WRL. Sadly, they still have reasons to exist..........
	♥ 11:06am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @11:03 thx, now i get it...
	♥ 11:06am Handy Haversack: I saw a movie about Northern Soul once, a regular dramatic movie, not a doc. I think I was in a Scottish hotel? Or some kind of hotel.
	♥ 11:07am Handy Haversack: ↳ Barney Grubbs @11:02 I think I saw your kid! I couldn't figure out why I recognized her, but now it all makes sense!
	♥ 11:09am Joe R.: I enjoyed “Young Soul Rebels: A Personal History of Northern Soul” by Stuart Cosgrove—I thought it was a good and thorough history of the scene with its evolution and ups and downs
	♥ 11:10am Barney Grubbs: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:07 cool! they had an adventure getting there & back on the LIRR (no eastbound service from woodside after so they had to take the 7 in to grand central and catch a train there), but had fun I think.
	11:13am Kelly Jones: Great show Trouble… dancing EVEN before finishing my coffee!
	11:14am Andres: ↳ Song: "the vulture" by "Labi Siffre" Digging this! Thought it was Jamiroquai for a moment. Also dig him. :)
	♥ 11:14am Handy Haversack: I'm gonna move this dance party to the Bathroom Boombox and cut my hair and shower. Will be listening, but in case I don't make it back to the keyboard in time, thanks, Trouble! This has been one wild party!

	♥ 11:28am Karl: ↳ Song: "yes we can can" by "sly & robbie" Ol’ Dirty Bastard lyric reference brain region activated
	♥ 11:28am melinda: morning friends
