	9:25am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:17 wait is it really talk like a pirate day cuz i was just walking around the studio saying "yarrrrrrrrrn" like a pirate while moving skeins of wet wool around
	♥ 9:27am WebPirate Henry: ↳ Triple G @9:19 Storm the gunwales and bulwarks, climb the forecastle and take as many syllables and consonants as can fit in yer swag bag! 🏴‍☠️
	9:28am TDK60: I'm not into "talk like a pirate" stuff usually. But here's a try: "Eh there, you matey! Are ye for the hated Slavery, or for Liberty?! Argghhh. (Holds cutlass aloft.)

	9:33am traven: To err is human, but to argghhh! is pirate.

	♥ 9:45am alanr: Nice mood you're setting, in a cool grey morning here in mexico city...waiting for the sun...it's coming for sure.
	♥ 9:45am Zip7: ↳ WebPirate Henry @9:41 Back in the 90s, Sony and other companies got a tax passed on sales of digital media like DAT cassettes -- so they could pay themselves a tax. Kinda like Bertelsman buying a stake in Napster while suing them.
	♥ 9:46am Ken From Hyde Park: Pirates, 1824: "Arrr, matey!" Pirates, 2024: "I just swiped an Amazon box off that guy's porch."
	9:46am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): i gotta go dye some more yarrrrrrrnnnnn... um... matey. hope to tune back in soon
	9:46am Toothgrinder Tom: Space pirates are fun.
	9:48am Toothgrinder Tom: I read in an Atlantic article recently that there were probably more people involved in the production of the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movies than there were actual pirates in history. Their legend has made them seem more numerous than they actually were.
	♥ 9:49am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:48 Have they counted the modern world's Somolian pirates?
	♥ 9:49am Trouble: speaking of pirates. we can't miss talking about the robber barons. here is a great articles parsing the difference between public art museums and private hyperallergic.com...
	♥ 9:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:46 I'm scared to rewatch Ice Pirates in case it's not as fantastically wonderful as it was when I was ten.
	9:53am Kenny rotten: Interesting how "Julia" by the Beatles is woven into this piece.
	♥ 9:55am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "hybla" by "Finis Africae" Logged in to favorite this and it's already done! I love this whole collection.
	♥ 9:55am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "hybla" by "Finis Africae" The vocals here always remind me of David Byrne.
	9:55am peter in SEA: Good morning Trouble and Modern pirates from sleepy western parts.
	♥ 9:56am Yes: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @9:55 Found the same. So good
	♥ 9:56am Michael C St Lou: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @9:55 💯
	9:57am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:46 There are some serious and violent sea pirates, operating in places like off the coast of Somalia
	♥ 9:57am Listener Bryan (the Professor): so good
	9:57am Katharsis: hellos all out here listening
	♥ 9:58am StringOFperils: Pirates sail on the good ship Wall Street today.
	♥ 10:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Alternatives to TLAPD? Nile Rodgers' birthday is today (b. 1952). 🎂
	10:01am Triple G: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:01 A great birthday to celebrate
	♥ 10:03am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Triple G @10:01 Très Chic!
	10:03am βrian: Disputing birds.
	10:04am peter in SEA: ♥️♥️♥️ saudade para todos!
	♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: You stink, keyboard!
	10:07am Katharsis: I know an elder sailor who was hired to sail on merchant marine ships as a negotiator in case of pirate attack
	10:08am Katharsis: hi handy!
	♥ 10:09am Handy Haversack: Jazz police are paid by J. Paul Getty Jazzers paid by J. Paul Getty II
	♥ 10:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ Katharsis @10:08 Hey, Katharsis!
	♥ 10:09am chresti: It is also national butterscotch pudding day
	♥ 10:10am lpfnrobin: Hey DJ Trouble! I prefer this station to satiate my lunch and working hours. Plus I hear hard drives are failing in record numbers
	10:11am dyljax: It’s a collection. It’s not the ownership factor, but a sort of pride in a specific collection. Some archives, such as Smithsonian folkways, are even historic as representative of entire genres. Some “collectors” take pride in the antiquity of entire eras of music. Thoughts?
	♥ 10:11am chresti: ↳ chresti @10:09 As well as the caramel custard day! Also, the birth of the smiley day!
	♥ 10:12am StringOFperils: ↳ lpfnrobin @10:10 Probably because stock internal hard-drives are capacious places nowdays....unless of course you really need to have 28,000 albums on hand. Which I get.
	♥ 10:12am PNX: I used to have very strong ownership/collecting impulses when it came to music. I credit WFMU a lot with changing my mindset to one of a letting music wash over me instead of needing to hold onto it and organize it. It's really been freeing - especially since I can't really afford to collect.
	10:13am Tony Rigatoni: very cool music
	♥ 10:14am StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @10:12 ...plus, there's the 'cloud'
	♥ 10:14am Yes: my collection has become a series of clicky stars
	♥ 10:15am lpfnrobin: ↳ StringOFperils @10:12 True...damn pirates. And filesystems
	♥ 10:15am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @9:58 I just crawled out of bed, so I'm sure all the good pirate talk has already happened. But I can do a pretty good Chicano gangster....
	♥ 10:16am StringOFperils: Los Vatos mang
	♥ 10:16am chresti: can't wait for Silly Questions day on the 28th!
	10:18am peter in SEA: Such a beautiful voice REP Françoise
	♥ 10:18am captain beef fart: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:57 Hear about the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie? It's rated arrrrr. Why? Too much booty.
	♥ 10:18am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @10:16 'It's in my blood to be an Aztec warrior' - Kid Frost
	♥ 10:20am Yes: sweet set
	♥ 10:21am StringOFperils: Chicano, soy Chicano All the brothers come together right now En Tejas, California dondequiera que esté Chicano, soy Chicano Sí, señor.
	♥ 10:22am lpfnrobin: ↳ captain beef fart @10:18 'Overload on the funny
	10:22am traven: Is anyone here familiar with 78 collector Joe Bussard?
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: merci @ yes!
	♥ 10:25am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @10:21 Chale, holms!
	10:25am Charles in Chicago: ↳ dyljax @10:11 I've been selling off my record collection and it feels great. I'm still keeping the gems and records I listen to frequently, but I've found it easier than expected to let a lot of it go (do I really need EVERY Acid Mothers Temple LP?). That "completist" thing easily gets out of hand. It will be a lot easier next time I move!
	♥ 10:26am Zip7: ↳ StringOFperils @10:12 Digital sound files lack potential emotive contexts -- they are just data, metadata, and a thumbnail, and therefore emotionally less valuable than a medium you can hold in your hands. At the same time, the lack of materiality in digital files heightens our sense of "ownership," as well as our desire to sample, collect, and trade music in new ways. Possessing digital files is a more intense and intimate experience than owning physical recordings, based on three things: The desire for compacting, the desire for immediacy, and the desire to customize via playlists, etc.
	10:26am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Five Angels By the Stream" by "william parker, co... This is such a great piece of music.
	10:27am Fredericks: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:25 How are you selling them, Charles?
	♥ 10:30am StringOFperils: ↳ Zip7 @10:26 And here I thought it was just because I was a poor-ass no-account bum who needed to hear everything.
	♥ 10:30am lpfnrobin: ↳ Zip7 @10:26 Very true words - compression (lossless compression) very difficult to achieve Analogically - but you get the idea I suppose.
	♥ 10:32am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:25 No harm intended. The song came to mind.
	10:34am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "no muscle no memory" by "rich ruth" Third Man is putting stuff like this out?
	♥ 10:34am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @10:32 No harm, no foul.
	♥ 10:34am chresti: Hellraiser's a coming!
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: @ fredericks,yes! I also had to keep double checking the label name
	10:39am Fredericks: ↳ Trouble @10:36 Where'd you find it?
	♥ 10:39am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Zip7 @10:26 IDK.... I've bought several digital downloads from Bandcamp, but I'm old school enough to prefer physical media like a CD or LP rekkid.
	10:40am Toothgrinder Tom: @Ken from Hyde Park 9:49 good point - I think they meant pirates from the age of sail.
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: @ fredericks third man sends new stuff to WFMU, so it was in our new bin
	10:43am Tony Rigatoni: very cool drummer
	♥ 10:43am Trouble: peoples! i thought you might be interested in this further development of the JC pompidou insanity: jcitytimes.com...
	♥ 10:45am Zip7: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @10:39 I burn ALL my downloaded cuts onto CDs -- too may failed hard drives! But I know fewer and fewer folks with CD players and turntables.
	10:46am TDK60: I secretly move MP3s onto cassette tapes in my dark basement in the wee hours, matey. Heh heh...
	♥ 10:47am lpfnrobin: ↳ Zip7 @10:45 Superdrive doesn't read on w11....good thing im multi platform
	♥ 10:47am Yes: ↳ TDK60 @10:46 texture forever
	10:47am Jeezuseffinchrist: I might just revive my old winamp and start uploading to torrent monkey for old times sake
	♥ 10:48am Yes: ↳ Song: "please garcon" by "umas & outras" whoa, this!
	♥ 10:48am lpfnrobin: ↳ Jeezuseffinchrist @10:47 Those visualizers were the BEST
	10:52am Daniel from PEI.: Winamp visualizers, now there’s something I haven’t thought about in a while.
	♥ 10:53am lpfnrobin: ↳ Daniel from PEI. @10:52 'kicked the ''lamas arrrse
	♥ 10:56am Handy Haversack: Ooops, gotta dive into a training. Will be under the cans. Thanks, Trouble!
	11:02am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): i'm planning to burn all my friends sade cds as party favors for my birthday
	♥ 11:07am lpfnrobin: JC needs better high heels
	11:08am ken p: that state money was COVID recovery dough
	11:10am ?: The PATH didn’t hurt JSQ the suburban malls did (what “ below ground stores”?). I was born and raised in JC.
	11:11am ggOPlk: Where's the link?
	♥ 11:12am Trouble: @ ?; I am getting my info from morris pesin, who owned a department store in journal square, and was initially a giant opponent to the PATH underground mall
	♥ 11:12am lpfnrobin: This a water planet. Eventually the amount of investment required to lift should give a rise to the pirates
	♥ 11:13am Trouble: jcitytimes.com...
	♥ 11:13am Trouble: just listed the link again...
	11:16am ggOPlk: ↳ Trouble @11:13 Thx, Trouble. And on top of everything Georges Pompidou was a crappy, right-wing prime minister who never deserved to have a museum named after him.
	11:16am estebangrande: ↳ Song: "goodnight tonight" by "paul mccartney" at the swim club one summer. thanks Trouble
	♥ 11:19am common: ↳ Song: "goodnight tonight" by "paul mccartney" reminds me of roller skating as a kid
	♥ 11:20am Michael C St Lou: ↳ common @11:19 the "couples skate" where the lucky would hold hands ❤‍🔥
	♥ 11:23am common: ↳ Michael C St Lou @11:20 yes indeed!
	♥ 11:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Album art decorating party on Friday — www.eventbrite.com... 🎨🖌️
	11:28am Toothgrinder Tom: Re Pompidou I initially supported it - thought it would instantly put JC on ‘the map’ - but the devil is in the details as they say and the more I’ve learned about it, the more I think the plan as it currently stands is full of holes with respect to where the funding will come from and the budget is massive compared to almost every other arts institution in Jersey City and Newark. It’s not sustainable.
	11:29am Toothgrinder Tom: Also what kind of ‘museum’ would fit into the ground floor of a high rise condo building?
	♥ 11:32am lpfnrobin: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @11:28 Unless the forever pumps are part of the plan...that have failed a years ago...not sustainable - raise the bar!
	♥ 11:38am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "chameleon" by "herbie hancock" One by one I'll knock you out!
	♥ 11:42am spodiodi: greetings, Trouble and all! sounding great
	11:44am ?: ↳ Trouble @11:12 Understood. I respect Mr. Pensin. When that PATH building was built in the early '70s it was considered an eyesore - still is. In that sense that was a begining of the demise of JSQ. Agree that museum would be a tremendous waste of tax money.
	♥ 11:50am tom tom the pipers son: thanks trouble, been listening on the bus...that herbie hancock was boss
	♥ 11:51am Trouble: thanks for listening all. see you next week!
	11:51am love2laf: Thank you Trouble, the music got me through the morning. Happy Junior Friday everyone!
	11:52am βrian: David D. is warming the motors over on the Drummer Stream. wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:52am Trouble: or maybe i'll see you at the LP MODIFICATION PARTY at monty hall on friday eve? please stop in and have some fun!
	11:52am bradford: Thanks as always, Trouble!
	♥ 11:53am common: thanks, trouble!
	♥ 11:57am Yes: ty!
	♥ 11:57am spodiodi: thanks, Trouble!
	11:58am HesperusWrecked: ↳ @11:44 Also Jersey City born and raised. Being avid comic book readers my siblings and I used to call the path building ‘Teen Titans Tower’ after that super heroes group’s HQ.
	♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Good luck with the Monty Hall event!
	♥ 11:58am lpfnrobin: Thanks Trouble! Go make em learn to love the art of noise!
	♥ 11:59am Michael C St Lou: one of these days, soon...
	♥ 11:59am Crownless Gander: Ah, wish I could make it to that, sounds like a hoot! Thanks for a fun last half hour—I'll have to check out the rest of the show in the archives. Bless!

	9:43am Fredericks: "Home Taping Is Killing the Music industry" and it's about damn time.
	♥ 9:45am alanr: Nice mood you're setting, in a cool grey morning here in mexico city...waiting for the sun...it's coming for sure.
	♥ 9:45am Zip7: ↳ WebPirate Henry @9:41 Back in the 90s, Sony and other companies got a tax passed on sales of digital media like DAT cassettes -- so they could pay themselves a tax. Kinda like Bertelsman buying a stake in Napster while suing them.
	♥ 9:46am Ken From Hyde Park: Pirates, 1824: "Arrr, matey!" Pirates, 2024: "I just swiped an Amazon box off that guy's porch."
	9:46am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): i gotta go dye some more yarrrrrrrnnnnn... um... matey. hope to tune back in soon
	9:46am Toothgrinder Tom: Space pirates are fun.
	9:48am Toothgrinder Tom: I read in an Atlantic article recently that there were probably more people involved in the production of the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ movies than there were actual pirates in history. Their legend has made them seem more numerous than they actually were.
	♥ 9:49am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:48 Have they counted the modern world's Somolian pirates?
	♥ 9:49am Trouble: speaking of pirates. we can't miss talking about the robber barons. here is a great articles parsing the difference between public art museums and private hyperallergic.com...
	♥ 9:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @9:46 I'm scared to rewatch Ice Pirates in case it's not as fantastically wonderful as it was when I was ten.
	9:53am Kenny rotten: Interesting how "Julia" by the Beatles is woven into this piece.
	♥ 9:55am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "hybla" by "Finis Africae" Logged in to favorite this and it's already done! I love this whole collection.
	♥ 9:55am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "hybla" by "Finis Africae" The vocals here always remind me of David Byrne.
	9:55am peter in SEA: Good morning Trouble and Modern pirates from sleepy western parts.
	♥ 9:56am Yes: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @9:55 Found the same. So good
	♥ 9:56am Michael C St Lou: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @9:55 💯
	9:57am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:46 There are some serious and violent sea pirates, operating in places like off the coast of Somalia
	♥ 9:57am Listener Bryan (the Professor): so good
	9:57am Katharsis: hellos all out here listening
	♥ 9:58am StringOFperils: Pirates sail on the good ship Wall Street today.
	♥ 10:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Alternatives to TLAPD? Nile Rodgers' birthday is today (b. 1952). 🎂
	10:01am Triple G: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @10:01 A great birthday to celebrate
	♥ 10:03am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Triple G @10:01 Très Chic!
	10:03am βrian: Disputing birds.
	10:04am peter in SEA: ♥️♥️♥️ saudade para todos!
	♥ 10:05am Handy Haversack: You stink, keyboard!
	10:07am Katharsis: I know an elder sailor who was hired to sail on merchant marine ships as a negotiator in case of pirate attack
	10:08am Katharsis: hi handy!
	♥ 10:09am Handy Haversack: Jazz police are paid by J. Paul Getty Jazzers paid by J. Paul Getty II
	♥ 10:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ Katharsis @10:08 Hey, Katharsis!
	♥ 10:09am chresti: It is also national butterscotch pudding day
	♥ 10:10am lpfnrobin: Hey DJ Trouble! I prefer this station to satiate my lunch and working hours. Plus I hear hard drives are failing in record numbers
	10:11am dyljax: It’s a collection. It’s not the ownership factor, but a sort of pride in a specific collection. Some archives, such as Smithsonian folkways, are even historic as representative of entire genres. Some “collectors” take pride in the antiquity of entire eras of music. Thoughts?
	♥ 10:11am chresti: ↳ chresti @10:09 As well as the caramel custard day! Also, the birth of the smiley day!
	♥ 10:12am StringOFperils: ↳ lpfnrobin @10:10 Probably because stock internal hard-drives are capacious places nowdays....unless of course you really need to have 28,000 albums on hand. Which I get.
	♥ 10:12am PNX: I used to have very strong ownership/collecting impulses when it came to music. I credit WFMU a lot with changing my mindset to one of a letting music wash over me instead of needing to hold onto it and organize it. It's really been freeing - especially since I can't really afford to collect.
	10:13am Tony Rigatoni: very cool music
	♥ 10:14am StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @10:12 ...plus, there's the 'cloud'
	♥ 10:14am Yes: my collection has become a series of clicky stars
	♥ 10:15am lpfnrobin: ↳ StringOFperils @10:12 True...damn pirates. And filesystems
	♥ 10:15am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @9:58 I just crawled out of bed, so I'm sure all the good pirate talk has already happened. But I can do a pretty good Chicano gangster....
	♥ 10:16am StringOFperils: Los Vatos mang
	♥ 10:16am chresti: can't wait for Silly Questions day on the 28th!
	10:18am peter in SEA: Such a beautiful voice REP Françoise
	♥ 10:18am captain beef fart: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:57 Hear about the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie? It's rated arrrrr. Why? Too much booty.
	♥ 10:18am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @10:16 'It's in my blood to be an Aztec warrior' - Kid Frost
	♥ 10:20am Yes: sweet set
	♥ 10:21am StringOFperils: Chicano, soy Chicano All the brothers come together right now En Tejas, California dondequiera que esté Chicano, soy Chicano Sí, señor.
	♥ 10:22am lpfnrobin: ↳ captain beef fart @10:18 'Overload on the funny
	10:22am traven: Is anyone here familiar with 78 collector Joe Bussard?
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: merci @ yes!
	♥ 10:25am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @10:21 Chale, holms!
	10:25am Charles in Chicago: ↳ dyljax @10:11 I've been selling off my record collection and it feels great. I'm still keeping the gems and records I listen to frequently, but I've found it easier than expected to let a lot of it go (do I really need EVERY Acid Mothers Temple LP?). That "completist" thing easily gets out of hand. It will be a lot easier next time I move!
	♥ 10:26am Zip7: ↳ StringOFperils @10:12 Digital sound files lack potential emotive contexts -- they are just data, metadata, and a thumbnail, and therefore emotionally less valuable than a medium you can hold in your hands. At the same time, the lack of materiality in digital files heightens our sense of "ownership," as well as our desire to sample, collect, and trade music in new ways. Possessing digital files is a more intense and intimate experience than owning physical recordings, based on three things: The desire for compacting, the desire for immediacy, and the desire to customize via playlists, etc.
	10:26am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "Five Angels By the Stream" by "william parker, co... This is such a great piece of music.
	10:27am Fredericks: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:25 How are you selling them, Charles?
	♥ 10:30am StringOFperils: ↳ Zip7 @10:26 And here I thought it was just because I was a poor-ass no-account bum who needed to hear everything.
	♥ 10:30am lpfnrobin: ↳ Zip7 @10:26 Very true words - compression (lossless compression) very difficult to achieve Analogically - but you get the idea I suppose.
	♥ 10:32am StringOFperils: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:25 No harm intended. The song came to mind.
	10:34am Fredericks: ↳ Song: "no muscle no memory" by "rich ruth" Third Man is putting stuff like this out?
	♥ 10:34am Franco Twinkie: ↳ StringOFperils @10:32 No harm, no foul.
	♥ 10:34am chresti: Hellraiser's a coming!
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: @ fredericks,yes! I also had to keep double checking the label name
	10:39am Fredericks: ↳ Trouble @10:36 Where'd you find it?
	♥ 10:39am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: ↳ Zip7 @10:26 IDK.... I've bought several digital downloads from Bandcamp, but I'm old school enough to prefer physical media like a CD or LP rekkid.
	10:40am Toothgrinder Tom: @Ken from Hyde Park 9:49 good point - I think they meant pirates from the age of sail.
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: @ fredericks third man sends new stuff to WFMU, so it was in our new bin
	10:43am Tony Rigatoni: very cool drummer
	♥ 10:43am Trouble: peoples! i thought you might be interested in this further development of the JC pompidou insanity: jcitytimes.com...
	♥ 10:45am Zip7: ↳ Peter from Saranac Lake NY @10:39 I burn ALL my downloaded cuts onto CDs -- too may failed hard drives! But I know fewer and fewer folks with CD players and turntables.
	10:46am TDK60: I secretly move MP3s onto cassette tapes in my dark basement in the wee hours, matey. Heh heh...
	♥ 10:47am lpfnrobin: ↳ Zip7 @10:45 Superdrive doesn't read on w11....good thing im multi platform
	♥ 10:47am Yes: ↳ TDK60 @10:46 texture forever
	10:47am Jeezuseffinchrist: I might just revive my old winamp and start uploading to torrent monkey for old times sake
	♥ 10:48am Yes: ↳ Song: "please garcon" by "umas & outras" whoa, this!
	♥ 10:48am lpfnrobin: ↳ Jeezuseffinchrist @10:47 Those visualizers were the BEST
	10:52am Daniel from PEI.: Winamp visualizers, now there’s something I haven’t thought about in a while.
	♥ 10:53am lpfnrobin: ↳ Daniel from PEI. @10:52 'kicked the ''lamas arrrse
	♥ 10:56am Handy Haversack: Ooops, gotta dive into a training. Will be under the cans. Thanks, Trouble!
	11:02am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): i'm planning to burn all my friends sade cds as party favors for my birthday
	♥ 11:07am lpfnrobin: JC needs better high heels
	11:08am ken p: that state money was COVID recovery dough
	11:10am ?: The PATH didn’t hurt JSQ the suburban malls did (what “ below ground stores”?). I was born and raised in JC.
	11:11am ggOPlk: Where's the link?
	♥ 11:12am Trouble: @ ?; I am getting my info from morris pesin, who owned a department store in journal square, and was initially a giant opponent to the PATH underground mall
	♥ 11:12am lpfnrobin: This a water planet. Eventually the amount of investment required to lift should give a rise to the pirates
	♥ 11:13am Trouble: jcitytimes.com...
	♥ 11:13am Trouble: just listed the link again...
	11:16am ggOPlk: ↳ Trouble @11:13 Thx, Trouble. And on top of everything Georges Pompidou was a crappy, right-wing prime minister who never deserved to have a museum named after him.
	11:16am estebangrande: ↳ Song: "goodnight tonight" by "paul mccartney" at the swim club one summer. thanks Trouble
	♥ 11:19am common: ↳ Song: "goodnight tonight" by "paul mccartney" reminds me of roller skating as a kid
	♥ 11:20am Michael C St Lou: ↳ common @11:19 the "couples skate" where the lucky would hold hands ❤‍🔥
	♥ 11:23am common: ↳ Michael C St Lou @11:20 yes indeed!
	♥ 11:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Album art decorating party on Friday — www.eventbrite.com... 🎨🖌️
	11:28am Toothgrinder Tom: Re Pompidou I initially supported it - thought it would instantly put JC on ‘the map’ - but the devil is in the details as they say and the more I’ve learned about it, the more I think the plan as it currently stands is full of holes with respect to where the funding will come from and the budget is massive compared to almost every other arts institution in Jersey City and Newark. It’s not sustainable.
	11:29am Toothgrinder Tom: Also what kind of ‘museum’ would fit into the ground floor of a high rise condo building?
	♥ 11:32am lpfnrobin: ↳ Toothgrinder Tom @11:28 Unless the forever pumps are part of the plan...that have failed a years ago...not sustainable - raise the bar!
	♥ 11:38am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "chameleon" by "herbie hancock" One by one I'll knock you out!
	♥ 11:42am spodiodi: greetings, Trouble and all! sounding great
	11:44am ?: ↳ Trouble @11:12 Understood. I respect Mr. Pensin. When that PATH building was built in the early '70s it was considered an eyesore - still is. In that sense that was a begining of the demise of JSQ. Agree that museum would be a tremendous waste of tax money.
	♥ 11:50am tom tom the pipers son: thanks trouble, been listening on the bus...that herbie hancock was boss
	♥ 11:51am Trouble: thanks for listening all. see you next week!
	11:51am love2laf: Thank you Trouble, the music got me through the morning. Happy Junior Friday everyone!
	11:52am βrian: David D. is warming the motors over on the Drummer Stream. wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:52am Trouble: or maybe i'll see you at the LP MODIFICATION PARTY at monty hall on friday eve? please stop in and have some fun!
	11:52am bradford: Thanks as always, Trouble!
	♥ 11:53am common: thanks, trouble!
	♥ 11:57am Yes: ty!
	♥ 11:57am spodiodi: thanks, Trouble!
	11:58am HesperusWrecked: ↳ @11:44 Also Jersey City born and raised. Being avid comic book readers my siblings and I used to call the path building ‘Teen Titans Tower’ after that super heroes group’s HQ.
	♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Good luck with the Monty Hall event!
	♥ 11:58am lpfnrobin: Thanks Trouble! Go make em learn to love the art of noise!
	♥ 11:59am Michael C St Lou: one of these days, soon...
	♥ 11:59am Crownless Gander: Ah, wish I could make it to that, sounds like a hoot! Thanks for a fun last half hour—I'll have to check out the rest of the show in the archives. Bless!
