	9:11am TDK60: Bom dia, Trouble.
	♥ 9:11am newton: The Voice was great, especially before they made it free. I remember a front page about the Serra sculpture Tilted Arc, very controversial back then

	♥ 9:14am Zip7: ↳ newton @9:11 I started subscibing in the late 70s while living in Tulsa, and sometimes the postman wouldn't deliver it if the cover was too outre
	9:15am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): i love the artwork too... it reminds me of a book I read as a kid called "Hey Al!" where a janitor is swept away by a bunch of tropical birds en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 9:16am newton: it came out wednesday mornings, hit the newsstands around 11:15 tuesday night. If you were looking for a job or an apartment you got it then
	♥ 9:17am newton: The back page, Stan Mack's real life funnies, the voice was great
	♥ 9:18am tom tom the pipers son: @ trouble: just skimmed serra's ny times obit but did not see mention of the one rigger killed and two others seriously injured during installation of his work nor the years of therapy he underwent to deal with the events which i remember him going on charlie rose to talk about. what do you think of this omission from the obituary?
	♥ 9:19am unpopularfred: off to a dreamy start today
	9:22am TDK60: ↳ Zip7 @9:09 I remember the Village Voice. The music club listings, the back page personals, the good writers.
	♥ 9:22am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "1/2" by "brian eno" I used to do yoga every morning to this album, and as soon as that first note hit just now I felt physically compelled into a sun salutation.
	9:23am love2laf: ↳ newton @9:07 Hope the vet has good news and your pup is well on the mend! G'morning Trouble and all the troubled friends. Happy to have sun today after days of gray drizzle.
	♥ 9:25am Trouble: i didnt read the obit @tom tom, but it sounds pretty standard: never bring up the hardship only the best parts when someone dies. pretty weird.
	9:26am TDK60: ↳ Song: "1/2" by "brian eno" I still have this Eno album on cassette. Still works. For some reason I always forget the simple titles of the pieces. Hee.
	♥ 9:28am StringOFperils: ↳ TDK60 @9:22 Good morning Trouble. This must be the Thursday departure lounge. Now boarding.
	♥ 9:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Trouble @9:25 yes and for protection of his rep as art world hero, btw, i don't really appreciate his work
	♥ 9:29am gnarly_gnarwhal: That beautiful art on the playlist side makes me think of how birds are dinosaurs and I love that for them.
	♥ 9:29am Spatulator (formerly elwyn5150): Hey everybody! Hey Trouble, it's 12:30 am here and I am really appreciating this chilled out music.
	♥ 9:29am Stevel: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:05 A very likely connection
	♥ 9:29am Irene Trudel: Trouble, loving these beautiful, drifty sounds to ease me into the day.
	♥ 9:30am common: what Irene said.
	♥ 9:31am the Hurston moor-elf: ↳ Song: "1/2" by "brian eno" Robert Wyatt's piano playing on MFA is so simple and beautiful (and rarely credited to him). I hear he's not well : ( Big love to Robert for all he's done.
	9:32am TDK60: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @9:31 Hiya Elf! Sad to hear Wyatt's not well. He has done much.
	♥ 9:33am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Stevel @9:29 the original "concerts of birds" probably inspired after a few belgian beers...
	♥ 9:33am listener james from westwood: Ohhhh, it has been batshit on the Senate race. And the line. What a year to be a county committee apparatchik!
	♥ 9:34am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @9:31 oh, i did not know he was on "airports" sad to hear he's not well
	♥ 9:35am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Trouble, in addition to the fact that Tammy Murphy had no legislative experience. Personally I'm against any kind of dynastic political families.
	♥ 9:35am D Rok: Cigars? Do they smell like Rancho Malarios? Is the Old Codger back!?
	♥ 9:35am listener james from westwood: Murphy and her machine were def. putting the squeeze on Bergen County Dem officials. They won, but for what?
	9:35am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Sipping dark black coffee with chicory, enjoying this mood. Reading Helen Jaffa’s “We Are Cuba.” Glad the kids are off for a four day weekend starting tomorrow. Personally believe there’s far too much schooling for such young beings; they need just as much time to interact with the natural world and their own imaginations.
	♥ 9:35am newton: ↳ the Hurston moor-elf @9:31 RW a major icon, sorry to hear he's unwell.
	9:35am redkayak: Happy Thursday all!
	9:35am Philip: good morning humans.
	♥ 9:37am listener james from westwood: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @9:35 This was my big motivation in voting for Kim and against Murphy in the county convention vote. No more of that family nonsense. (Also don't need any more Menendezes.)
	♥ 9:37am listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "tenement stairwell" by "Pauline Anna Strom" Faving this like 20 seconds in. I like.
	♥ 9:37am Handy Haversack: Trouble, thanks to your influence, K8 and I spent our free day in Jersey City that last Marathon weekend going to Liberty State Park. Took the light rail out (so I could check that off my list) and walked back into town. Real nice.
	♥ 9:39am tom tom the pipers son: the time i most appreciated serra's work was when i saw one of his sculptures disassembled and loaded on the back of a flatbed semi on 11th avenue, and i'm not just being snarky, though i am....
	9:39am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Trouble and Everyone.
	9:41am Triple G: Hi Trouble and all This Pauline Anna Strom song is incredible
	♥ 9:43am common: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:37 hey there, Handy. Spent last Sunday in Jersey City - only been there twice before, briefly - to see Unwound and Cherubs at White Eagle Hall. Really enjoyed walking around that part of the city.
	♥ 9:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ common @9:43 Our Jersey City peregrinations had been pretty much limited to the WFMU-White Eagle Hall stretch as well! Nice to walk around a little more and see more of the town.
	♥ 9:47am listener james from westwood: I so have to get back down to Hoboken, JC, and WFMU. Haven't been since 2020 Marathon. Maybe as the respiratory-infection season wanes. Help with prize stuffing.
	♥ 9:47am common: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:46 i would like to explore.
	♥ 9:47am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:37 I'd love to see some kind of legislation on this. Like, how ethical was it for Senator Mitch McConnell's wife to be Secretary of Transportation. That doesn't work for me no matter how qualified she might have been.
	9:49am Jim in Southwest Harbor ME: Hi Trouble! I'm here for the promised Yma, if it fits this week :)
	♥ 9:49am tom tom the pipers son: i asked dan graham if this pavilion was a parody of richard serra's work. he said "richard who?" (graham's pavilions were parodies of corporate architecture) www.stirworld.com...
	9:53am thedunkel: GM Trouble! GM All!
	♥ 9:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "valse au village" by "lys gauty" makes me think of marcel pagnol films
	9:53am gone with the wind: ↳ Song: "valse au village" by "lys gauty" This is So full of wonder :) love the modern world!
	♥ 9:55am Bryant in TO: Bonjour Trouble et tlm!
	♥ 9:55am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Song: "down" by "Labi Siffre" Oh i need this right now
	♥ 9:55am Yes: ↳ Song: "down" by "Labi Siffre" <3
	9:56am eric from lake hiawatha: Labi sure sounds like Nina Simone

	♥ 9:59am NotARealDoctor in Norfolk VA: ↳ Mxter Baba @9:57 Neither have I and I love this
	♥ 10:02am Zip7: Reading encomiums for Joe Lieberman, Al Gore said Joe like to walk around "singing his favorite song, 'My Way.'" Yeesh. Thanks (or no thanks) to him, we don't have single-payer health care

	♥ 10:08am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Zip7 @10:02 thanks for the anecdote, did gore give it in context of lieberman's record on healthcare?
	10:09am listener james from westwood: Ballot Siberia, they call those off-line slots.
	♥ 10:10am Zip7: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:08 Nah, he just praised Lieberman
	10:11am listener james from westwood: The Bergen ballots had everyone’s names pre-printed, including Kim and Murphy, and the ballots were marked secretly. Maybe that was another county besides Bergen?
	10:11am Philip: ahhhhhhhh coltrane. Thank you
	♥ 10:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Zip7 @10:10 gives me a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach...
	10:12am listener james from westwood: That said, Bergen Democratic chair Giuliano did have a preference.
	♥ 10:13am Sera from Rockaway: ↳ Song: "in a sentimental mood" by "duke ellington & john ... Oh I love this song so much
	10:13am Lucky: Love this song.
	♥ 10:14am Trouble: the way i heard the story was that it was bergen county and i heard it via a county committee person, but maybe i got it wrong.
	10:17am Tara: the vibe today is so appreciated. so much sad news lately, it’s grey and misty out, window is open , coffee, birds, thank u modern world bubble
	♥ 10:17am listener james from westwood: I mean, there's so much fuckery in the various county systems, the way they vary, they're easily conflated. Was not a fan of Patrica Campos-Medina being blocked from entering the Camden County convention by a literal goon squad.
	♥ 10:17am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "edward the second" by "duke ellington" never heard this before...
	♥ 10:18am Mxter Baba: crank it UP! this set is IT.

	♥ 10:20am Dan 2: Mornin' all! Bummed I missed Andata (an all-time fave song) but I'm here for the jazz!
	♥ 10:21am Webhamster Henry: Put up your Dukes! BTW , my preferred drink I call a "Duke Ellington": just a cup of unflavored hot water, which is what he liked.
	10:23am rx "rexy" scabin: Good bye and thank you, Trouble and Everyone.
	♥ 10:24am Zip7: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:21 I read somewhere that Duke spent so much time sleeping sitting up on trains that he was unable to sleep laying down.
	10:30am Roberto: ↳ Song: ""interview"/ back ground music by virginia astley... Virginia Astley never gonna give you up.

	♥ 10:44am listener james from westwood: ↳ Zip7 @10:42 That's the connection, indeed! A Phil Murphy–provided post, so too close for many folks' comfort.
	♥ 10:45am Trouble: in nj practically every job is a political patronage job...
	♥ 10:45am Zip7: ↳ listener james from westwood @10:44 Which is why he backed Tammy Murphy: www.insidernj.com...
	♥ 10:46am Trouble: many of the higher ups in NJ county gov also hold state jobs: hence the tight bond
	♥ 10:48am Yes: <33
	10:49am traven: ↳ Trouble @10:45 Sinecure - An office or position which requires little or no work, especially one that pays well.
	10:49am Philip: strings sound like Melody Nelson
	♥ 10:53am Zip7: I remember a precinct chair describing how some NJ residents would get absentee ballots, and then they would be visited by the precinct chair, who would then pick up the blank ballots in return for a nice cheesecake
	♥ 10:54am Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "lucidez" by "flora purim" Heavens bless Brazil, that segue was like clouds parting for a sunrise over the ocean
	♥ 10:55am Mxter Baba: and truly, I was in the other room mopping and vacuuming when that happened, so I didn't even see the titles!
	♥ 10:56am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and Thursday People -it's baby bunny dragged into the house season :-(

	9:11am TDK60: Bom dia, Trouble.
	♥ 9:11am newton: The Voice was great, especially before they made it free. I remember a front page about the Serra sculpture Tilted Arc, very controversial back then

	♥ 9:19am unpopularfred: off to a dreamy start today

	♥ 9:25am Trouble: i didnt read the obit @tom tom, but it sounds pretty standard: never bring up the hardship only the best parts when someone dies. pretty weird.
	9:26am TDK60: ↳ Song: "1/2" by "brian eno" I still have this Eno album on cassette. Still works. For some reason I always forget the simple titles of the pieces. Hee.

	♥ 9:39am tom tom the pipers son: the time i most appreciated serra's work was when i saw one of his sculptures disassembled and loaded on the back of a flatbed semi on 11th avenue, and i'm not just being snarky, though i am....

	♥ 9:47am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:37 I'd love to see some kind of legislation on this. Like, how ethical was it for Senator Mitch McConnell's wife to be Secretary of Transportation. That doesn't work for me no matter how qualified she might have been.

	♥ 10:10am Zip7: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:08 Nah, he just praised Lieberman
	10:11am listener james from westwood: The Bergen ballots had everyone’s names pre-printed, including Kim and Murphy, and the ballots were marked secretly. Maybe that was another county besides Bergen?
	10:11am Philip: ahhhhhhhh coltrane. Thank you
	♥ 10:11am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Zip7 @10:10 gives me a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach...
