	9:02am Webhamster Henry: Today's art is Escher-y!
	9:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ben in Newark @9:01 Ben, how you doing?
	9:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning. Sometimes I feel I'm in a l'ego my own.
	9:03am he's Crafty: hi Trouble, Modern world, everybody
	9:03am TDK60: Bonjour, DJ T.
	9:04am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "creation" by "The Cosmic Tones Research Trio" Love this Cosmic Tones Research Trio... I may have to pick up this LP
	9:05am Crownless Gander: Loving these sounds and this art! It's actually an "Intersect," not an insect, BTW. :)
	9:06am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:04 oh the LP is sold out on Bandcamp and everywhere! Maybe they'll do a second pressing.
	9:06am captain beef fart: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:05 Insect sounds a lot cooler though. Kaiju immediately came to mind for me.
	9:06am bradford: Good morning Trouble & all.
	9:07am Crownless Gander: ↳ captain beef fart @9:06 Yeah! I thought it might be depicting the path of some giant worm or something.
	9:08am Zip7: Hello Troubled modernists!
	9:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:07 We have no evidence it's not!
	9:09am Trouble: good morning thursday people! here we have it: the entirety of the holiday programming for today, all done on a buchla.
	9:10am Ben in Newark: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:03 Doing well, thanks for asking! Looking forward to night 1 of YLT Hannukah next week. Heard you saw TMBG last week, how was the show?
	9:11am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:05 Also acceptable: comical insect.
	9:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ben in Newark @9:10 Oh, man, it was so good. I hadn't seen them in a looong time. Total geniuses, those guys. Really great night of music!
	9:12am fred: Good morning Trouble and all. If I remember correctly, that Matta-Clark work was made right next where I work (the street kinda looks familiar, then again most Paris streets look alike)
	9:12am Will: Ya got trouble/ right here is Jersey City....
	9:13am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: i saw some guy selling this modern buchla synth for $4k. it does sound pretty cool though.
	9:13am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:11 see also: Brak, from Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast
	9:13am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "buchla christmas" by "Warner Jepson" Thank you for reminding me I bought this on Bandcamp years ago, likely after hearing it on your show!
	9:13am jmr3: ↳ Trouble @9:09 It's the exact mood I prefer for my holiday music (except for one particular Ray Conniff record, which is also accepatable)
	9:16am common: ↳ Song: "buchla christmas" by "Warner Jepson" very cool
	9:16am listener james from westwood: My goodness, does Jepson deserve a meatier Wikipedia page. I also envisioned this being composed by a lab-coat-wearing person at like Bell Labs or something (huge compliment); now I see he's more Bob Ross–like in some of his pics (also a huge compliment)!
	9:16am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ jmr3 @9:13 This sort of reminds me of a Xmas album my father has. My mom always hated it. I just looked it up; it's called 'A Very Merry Electric Christmas to You!'
	9:16am Trouble: 27-29 rue Beaubourg @ fred...
	9:18am Stu of Bot: This music is troubling, on point!
	9:19am Listener Jonny in MA: ↳ Song: "please be normal" by "oliver coates" Gorgeous, Trouble! Thx!!!
	9:20am Gaston: Beautiful morning music for these chaotic times.
	9:20am Stu of Bot: Music? Whale sounds maybe, music to be drugged by? Bill cosby’s playlist?
	9:20am traven: ↳ jmr3 @9:13 What's your feelings on the Harry Simeone Chorale Christmas record?
	9:21am fred: ↳ Trouble @9:16 That would indeed be where the Pompidou Center now stands, I work right next to it (under the fountain made by Nikki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely)
	9:21am Trouble: fabulous@ fred, lucky you!
	9:23am TDK60: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:16 Morning listener james from westwood: Hee. Yes, white lab coat and clipboard, pencil.
	9:23am Dances with Moomins: Hi to the wonderful moderns in this Troubled world.
	9:24am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ Stu of Bot @9:20 It's important to remember, music is still music, whether you like it or not.
	9:25am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Trouble and all. Liking the opening set, but now I have to shovel snow. See ya later.
	9:25am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Ryan Sterlingvirtue @9:13 $4k is a fair price for Buchlas (if they are working)
	9:25am listener james from westwood: ↳ TDK60 @9:23 Exactly! Like he stayed late to fiddle with the Big Iron after all the other oscilloscopists and slide-rulers had gone home.
	9:25am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Getting ready to start cooking for the classroom potluck for my 4th grader. Coffee with chicory and a smoothie first. What a moment we’re in, huh? Haven’t felt this hopeful about a coalescing of the 99% in a very long time.
	9:25am Stu of Bot: Music is like art, it’s subjective to the listener, to some, a car trying to start with no gas to the carb is music, those same people may also be buying cold medicine from multiple pharmacies a day.
	9:26am Honest Bernardo from Argentina: I’m gonna force my family to open their minds to this Xmas playlist next week!!! They’re all gonna love it.
	9:28am Stu of Bot: Honestly? Probably not.
	9:28am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: morning trouble- long time no hear…
	9:28am sphere: hello everybuggy. :)
	9:28am listener james from westwood: ↳ Honest Bernardo from Argentina @9:26 Beats the absolute tar out of that goddamn Christmas-shoes song or the like!
	9:30am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "buchla christmas" by "warner jepson" This is a Christmas tune I can get behind.
	9:30am pmcWhenever: yes i would like a Buchla 🫰under my ceramic tree, there will be real cookies for ye
	9:30am Honest Bernardo from Argentina: Yes sir @james! I can’t not hear anymore Mariah Carey slop
	9:31am jmr3: ↳ traven @9:20 I've never heard of it. There was a Robert Shaw Chorale record my mother had that is also acceptable. I just looked it up, it could go onto the good list - I bet I've heard at least some of it without knowing what it was.
	9:31am sphere: this is very diggable. :)
	9:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:28 While flipping through the fifty-cent record bin at the local record store / cafe, I was assaulted by a gold convertible festooned with Christmas plushies, driven by a Santa-hatted old white dude, and blasting "Holly Jolly Christmas" at window-rattling volume as it cruised up and down the street at maybe 5 mph. That was extremely unpleasant.
	9:33am sphere: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:32 hey Handy!
	9:34am sphere: currently fighting the "Happy Holidays" vs "Merry Christmas" battle in my little Southern city.
	9:36am Handy Haversack: ↳ sphere @9:33 Morning, sphere!
	9:36am listener james from westwood: ↳ sphere @9:34 My vote of course would be "Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!"
	9:36am traven: ↳ jmr3 @9:31 It includes the song "The Little Drummer Boy" (which, after all these years I still can't stand). However, there's some really good carols one normally doesn't hear this time of season.
	9:36am Zip7: Gotta say "A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector" is THE go-to holiday record around Chez Zip.
	9:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:36 Why choose the lesser evil, right?
	9:38am sphere: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:36 Glad I have my Elder Sign with me. :)
	9:40am Crownless Gander: Wazzap, oiseaux!
	9:41am Philip: whale song?
	9:41am Charles in Chicago: ↳ sphere @9:34 Happy Solstice! That's something I can really get behind.
	9:42am Charles in Chicago: I mean, just 2 more days and then the days start getting longer again.
	9:43am sphere: Handy, I have a treat for you. Do you know Manly Wade Wellman's Silver John stories?
	9:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:41 Until the one year the druids oversleep and the sun is completely devoured and the frost wolves emerge from Jotunheim and summer never comes. Then what'll we say!
	9:44am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:43 we'll go wake up the druids... or else learn how to summon the sun ourselves!
	9:45am Handy Haversack: ↳ sphere @9:43 No ... I feel like I've read SOMEthing by MWW. A story at least. Good stuff?
	9:45am The Frasier Crane of Ypsilanti: Groovy tunes ✨
	9:46am Charles in Chicago: I'll be at this show on the morning of Solstice - Hamid Drake and Michael Zerang "drum up the sun" - as they've been doing for 34 years - I've been going for 20. It's the best. www.linkshall.org...
	9:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:45 Karl E. Wagner has edited his work, and I feel like I found a story through Wagner at some point? But not a collection, I don't think.
	9:47am sphere: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:43 Most excellent stuff! Fantasy set in the backwoods of Appalachia featuring a spell-wielding songster named Silver John who sets things right.
	9:48am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:43 (I looked up "Jotunheim" and found out it means "Giant Land" and now I have James Last playing in my head)
	9:48am ifeelfatnsassy: ↳ The Oscar @9:13 Damn... looks like it's no longer on Bandcamp. Not even on Discogs...
	9:48am Trouble: that sounds outstanding @ charles in chicago. fabulous way to celebrate the solstice
	9:48am sphere: and the music in the Silver John stories really exist. :)
	9:49am sphere: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ sphere @9:47 Nice. Puts me in mind a little of www.johnhornor.com... Have you read? "Stagger Lee" as incantation and more. Really good stuff.
	9:50am sphere: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:49 No, have not heard of John Hornor. I must take a look. Thanks!
	9:50am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Trouble @9:48 It's great. Drake and Zerang are both such good musicians, and have excellent rapport.
	9:53am Lucky: Great show!
	9:55am sphere: ↳ Song: "Serious Drinking" by "LATRALA" Good on LATRALA. music that is free as a bird now! :)
	9:58am fm Mike: Guuud morning Trouble & Troublatites!
	10:00am Trouble: gracias @ lucky!
	10:01am Todd-a-o: Nice set you’ve got going here Miss Chif.
	10:02am Trouble: merci@ todd-a-o
	10:03am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Trouble and Everyone.
	10:08am AYAYRON: Oooooh nice. I thought that was some Tony Allen project
	10:09am fm Mike: Brownwood Recordings is a good company. I enjoy Daymé Arocena, a Cuban artist of theirs.
	10:10am fm Mike: @1%news. Good God. If they all banded together to make a rail line, they could do something positive.
	10:12am Steve Del Sol: I heard it! Your thinkin'!! Your under arrest!!
	10:14am HyperDose: ↳ fm Mike @10:09 gotta check that out! 🇨🇺🔥
	10:15am Trouble: i think brownswood is gilles peterson's label. he does have good taste...
	10:16am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): hi hi hi
	10:17am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "flug" by "kosmicher laufer" I miss hearing these guys!
	10:19am Zinn The Mood: The single biggest obstacle, IMO, to a real massive class consciousness being cemented is the relentless capitalist propaganda about the Rich. They’ve worked very hard for centuries, spending billions and billions, in convincing people to either Worship, or Emulate, the Rich. Which is basically the basis for all advertising, and the CIA working with Hollywood/tv to churn out both nationalistic tripe (supporting the American Dream lie), Copaganda and Who Wants to be Rich & Famous garbage (think of 80’s tv and films). But we’re truly, maybe just maybe, on the cusp of a new dawn. Have never seen anything more convincing than the public’s overwhelming reaction to the CEO assassination. One of the keys going forward will be the public’s capacity for and involvement with instead of worship relentless mockery and ridicule of them. That, along with the implicit threat of us coming after them, I’m afraid to say looks like the way forward.
	10:22am fm Mike: ↳ HyperDose @10:14 Do! I love her music. She just released her third album this year.
	10:22am Yes: 😎😎😎
	10:23am Cody: Roadtripping!
	10:23am fm Mike: Hello Bixa!
	10:23am Cody: Hi trouble!
	10:26am fm Mike: ↳ HyperDose @10:14 Another good suggestion, is Chef Gone Mad seasoning brand. It's great for meats and sandwiches.
	10:26am Crownless Gander: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:19 On the left side, an increasing obsession with advocacy and mobilization at the expense of organization has also been a big factor. I hope we can learn the lesson and start doing some real power analysis with respect to both our enemies and our allies. But I fear that a Trump administration will produce a lot more short-term fire-quenching strategy.
	10:29am fm Mike: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:19 That last part. I thought about that thr other day. The memes of Luigi feel like that episode of Black Mirror, where thr guy threatens to slit his own throat of he doesn't get his girl rescued. Then, at the end of the episode, you see he is living in a high rise, and you wonder if he played the system to get closer to rescuing her, or if he just cashed in and dropped out of the idea of revolution.
	10:33am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:19 Having worked TV commercials thirty years, I never once encountered a CIA spook on the set while filming a spot for corn flakes.
	10:34am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Crownless Gander @10:26 oof. lived through some disorganized organizing 2020-2023 and it just leads to burnout
	10:36am Crownless Gander: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:34 Yeah, it's very galvanizing and then very discouraging. Not really sustainable.
	10:36am tom tom the pipers son: hello trouble and all...i used to know someone who worked with matta clark on those carve ups...sounded like pure madness, like something like of the deniro character in Brazil...if i'm remembering the movie correctly
	10:42am rx "rexy" scabin: Reminds me a bit of America is Waiting.
	10:42am rx "rexy" scabin: @rx "rexy" scabin beatwise.
	10:42am listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Iko iko" by "patrick cowley" Is Patrick Cowley the artist who does that track David Suisman uses as bed music? Has that same shuffly vibe.
	10:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:34 Anyone else read or reading this? www.commonnotions.org... The other side of the tunnel, after the organizing. Well, it never ends.
	10:43am fm Mike: ↳ Song: "Iko iko" by "patrick cowley" Sou ds like something g outta Matty Warwick's repertoire 😄
	10:44am Crownless Gander: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:43 No, cool idea! Looks like a good one.
	10:45am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Crownless Gander @10:36 i've personally witnessed a lot of perfectionism and policing in spaces, usually where organizers are between 20-40 y/o. i've seen a lot of energy spent on saying things the 'right way' or chatting about group dynamics theoretically rather than putting effort in to actually doOOOOo something and be okay if it isn't perfect. ayiyi
	10:46am Hoboken Jack: #TeamTrouble
	10:46am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Handy Haversack @10:43 trouble's show once again is the hub of great book recs
	10:47am rx "rexy" scabin: My kitty, Celeste, likes this very much.
	10:48am rx "rexy" scabin: Both Hugo and Celeste like your show, Trouble.
	10:48am listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "digging your scene" by "ivy" Ahhhh, great band covering great track of great band.
	10:48am Crownless Gander: Gotta go feed the capitalist machine! Thanks for the good vibes and engagement.
	10:49am Planet Ø Tyler: ↳ Song: "digging your scene" by "ivy" Blow Monkeys cover!
	10:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:46 A younger colleague of mine just sent around an e-mail saying she'd established a "Google Space" to talk about books. I love the idea but can't do Google products. I just e-mailed back the pile I've got going for the break: Finishing the latest issue of The Baffler (thebaffler.com) and just started Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052–2072 (www.commonnotions.org...). Also in the pile are Susan Cooper, Silver on the Tree Ananda Lima, Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil David Gibbs, Revolt of the Rich (CUP) Alvaro Enrigue, You Dreamed of Empires Todd McGowan, Pure Excess (CUP) James B. Haille III, The Dark Delight of Being Strange (CUP) David J. Goodwin, Midnight Rambles: H. P. Lovecraft in Gotham
	10:51am fm Mike: ↳ Song: "digging your scene" by "ivy" I like this. It gives me Spice Girls vibes.
	10:51am Yes: fantastic mix
	10:56am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 lovely! right now i'm bouncing between zami by audre lorde and a random one i snagged at an anarchist bookstore in liverpool "Friendship of Nations: Polish Shi'ite Showbiz" (bookworks.org.uk...)
	10:58am Trouble: Now reading: Olivia Laing "Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency". good stuff
	11:00am Cody: Trouble bring the heat!
	11:01am rebuketodali: Got a question for the troubled: I'm taking a trip to the Netherlands in a few weeks. Amsterdam, Eindhoven, and Utrecht are on my itinerary. Any recs for good record stores? (Will also take museum, bookshop, restaurant recs)
	11:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:56 bixa, it looks like Common Notions, the press that put out Everything for Everyone, is partly based in Philly. My colleague wrote back to say that it's her favorite book of the year and she'd met the founder at the American Studies Conference. She's in Philly, so they must have talked about that.
	11:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ rebuketodali @11:01 If you show up on the Continental Subway chatboard (starting at noon JC time on the Drummer stream), I'm sure listener Bas will show up. He's in Utrecht. Amsterdam Eric is often there as well. I bet they'd have recs.
	11:04am Carmen: This song about space is sooo gooood
	11:06am βrian: Bonjour, les oiseaux !
	11:06am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Handy Haversack @11:02 looks like there's a great book store in south philly i'll have to check out
	11:08am rebuketodali: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:03 Ah very good! Thank you!
	11:11am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:26 As we all know the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls: “One person with a pistol just shook the ruling class more than decades of peaceful organizing.” And, as we’ve seen for the past two weeks the words of the Prophet Seers on the proverbial walls of TikTok, YouTube, Twitter etc are totally in sync with the subway walls, wheat-pasted posters and banners of comrades all over NYC (and the world!). The Profiteers are reeling in fear. In another irony we of the 99%, to take a page out of an MBA course, need to capitalize on this crisis. Luigi’s act is the launch pad for the rocket that is the vast, previously somnambulant majority of people who haven’t been able until now to articulate how much they desire a non-capitalist society. For those working inside in political campaigns and advocacy work you’ve never had a better opportunity to get results, probably ever.
	11:12am Meesalikeu: you’re looking forward to a joe bataan memior? i worked with joe for 20yrs at his non music gig. i’m looking forward to it lol. he was s great mentor snd we had the bedt holiday parties, which were the only time he would play in those days.
	11:13am Meesalikeu: also, if possible is there an online example of a previous wfmu lcd magazine? it helps to see one to better fit a submission. gracias.
	11:14am cccinkc: ↳ Song: "What Good is a Castle" by "joe bataan" One of the first songs to get me hooked on WFMU! An all-timer.
	11:14am Trouble: wfmu.org...
	11:15am rx "rexy" scabin: @Zinn The Mood it is not surprising that the billionaire got concierge service law enforcement.
	11:21am Trouble: joe bataan's memoir: www.mahalpublishing.com...
	11:22am climate_ctrl: Wooooooooooo
	11:22am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:33 Getting the best camera angle on a breakfast cereal would probably preclude rubbing elbows with a CIA agent. Not the case for the owner of a major broadcasting network.
	11:23am Yes: Ahhh yeah
	11:23am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): dang trouble this set is k i l l e r
	11:25am rebuketodali: ↳ Song: "baby let me kiss you" by "fern kinney" Niiiiiiice
	11:27am rx "rexy" scabin: My heavens.
	11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ rebuketodali @11:08 Here's the playlist page: wfmu.org...
	11:27am zoe: Hi trouble 😈 I was sad about Jane birkinand francoise hardy
	11:30am Trouble: yes @ zoe, I was also very sad about that. I hope you are well!
	11:32am Blacktooth: ↳ Song: "baby let me kiss you" by "fern kinney" This song went off into unknown dimensions of kissy-ness
	11:32am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 Thanks for that excellent suggestion, HH! During the Bernie campaigns I began writing a utopian piece describing what everyday life would look like in an America socialist economy, inspired by Edward Bellamy’s “Looking Backward” (which incidentally was one of Martin Luther King‘s favorite books). Looking forward to this later as soon as I’m done cooking and then eating with a class of 4th graders. Teacher asked for the accompanying recipe. Mine’s called “Puttanesca for the People (including prominently Luigi Mangione).”
	11:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:32 I made a putanesca just this week!
	11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Hoboken Jack @10:46 Hi, Jack. Always room for more on #TeamTrouble!
	11:33am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:03 Handy, I read the book, have a line in a song that is from it. C.N. still has connections with Interference Archive in Brooklyn, but their main office is now in Philly.
	11:34am Trouble: hey @ hoboken jack!
	11:36am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Blacktooth @11:32 inspirational dimensions
	11:39am rebuketodali: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 Thank you!
	11:41am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:32 My latest addition: fennel seeds. Try it! Sort of fills in in a meatless sauce with an undertone of sausage flavor, when combined with smoked paprika, another favorite ingredient.
	11:42am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:41 fennel is so underrated
	11:43am rebuketodali: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:41 THIS. My mom always added fennel when she made gravy.
	11:44am rx "rexy" scabin: @Zinn The Mood I have a good red pepper sauce recipe. Roast peppers with fennel seeds. Take seeds out. Puree. Add garlic and oil as needed. Simple. I cannot keep out of food discussions. Sorry for eavesdropping.
	11:45am chresti: When I had a colonoscopy, everything was clean except for 2 fennel seeds.
	11:46am rx "rexy" scabin: @rx "rexy" scabin and salt and pepper.
	11:48am chresti: ↳ chresti @11:45 The doctor was impressed
	11:48am rx "rexy" scabin: Is the artist's name a nod to Dennis Bovell?
	11:49am Zinn The Mood: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:44 Sounds good, thanks. Will come back later to consider. I’ve gotta get out here soon. All Power To the People. I’ve got a Black Panthers “Free Food Program” shirt on for the purpose of hopefully engaging the young in some radical proletariat discussion in their classroom. Cooking comes from a place of love. Do it for one another, invite comrades to share. The 1% never cook for themselves. There’s a metaphor in there somewhere if someone wants to offer one…
	11:50am Trouble: @rx " rexy" : she's from the manchester dance scene 1990's
	11:52am Meesalikeu: i used to spin this king tubby record daily back in the day
	11:52am rx "rexy" scabin: @Trouble so, could be?
	11:53am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! As ever!
	11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Trouble. Until the next intersection!
	11:54am Meesalikeu: one thing i do miss about 1980s music is the early 80s dub fad. that was solid and stands the test of time unlike 80s pop production (synths, gated drums, etc).
	11:54am chresti: Thanks Trouble!
	11:55am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today. the wonderful Jack Mello will be spinning next thursday. happy merry!
	11:55am Mike W.: An especially great show today to launch me into a week off work (paid days off at that), thanku Trouble!
	11:56am Barney Grubbs: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:52 lengthy liner notes on bandcamp, but no mention of Dennis Bovell (who also has a great selection that just came out -- Sufferer Sounds): aotns.bandcamp.com...
	11:56am Meesalikeu: thx as always troub
	11:57am Trouble: had that dennis bovell cued, but ran out of time...
	11:57am Jason from Houston: Thank you, Trouble. Cheers, good people.
	11:57am TDK60: Merci Merci merci m e r c i Trouble Trouble trouble t r o u b l e !
	11:58am Ochre Ogre: Thanks Trouble, all the best Holidaze!
	11:58am rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you.

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.

	9:01am captain beef fart: Mernin'
	9:01am Ben in Newark: Good morning Trouble and everyone!
	9:02am Crownless Gander: Morning, modrenists!
	9:02am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): Heyhey all
	9:02am Webhamster Henry: Today's art is Escher-y!
	9:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ben in Newark @9:01 Ben, how you doing?
	9:03am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning. Sometimes I feel I'm in a l'ego my own.
	9:03am he's Crafty: hi Trouble, Modern world, everybody
	9:03am TDK60: Bonjour, DJ T.
	9:04am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "creation" by "The Cosmic Tones Research Trio" Love this Cosmic Tones Research Trio... I may have to pick up this LP
	9:05am Crownless Gander: Loving these sounds and this art! It's actually an "Intersect," not an insect, BTW. :)
	9:06am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:04 oh the LP is sold out on Bandcamp and everywhere! Maybe they'll do a second pressing.
	9:06am captain beef fart: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:05 Insect sounds a lot cooler though. Kaiju immediately came to mind for me.
	9:06am bradford: Good morning Trouble & all.
	9:07am Crownless Gander: ↳ captain beef fart @9:06 Yeah! I thought it might be depicting the path of some giant worm or something.
	9:08am Zip7: Hello Troubled modernists!
	9:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:07 We have no evidence it's not!
	9:09am Trouble: good morning thursday people! here we have it: the entirety of the holiday programming for today, all done on a buchla.
	9:10am Ben in Newark: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:03 Doing well, thanks for asking! Looking forward to night 1 of YLT Hannukah next week. Heard you saw TMBG last week, how was the show?
	9:11am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:05 Also acceptable: comical insect.
	9:12am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ben in Newark @9:10 Oh, man, it was so good. I hadn't seen them in a looong time. Total geniuses, those guys. Really great night of music!
	9:12am fred: Good morning Trouble and all. If I remember correctly, that Matta-Clark work was made right next where I work (the street kinda looks familiar, then again most Paris streets look alike)
	9:12am Will: Ya got trouble/ right here is Jersey City....
	9:13am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: i saw some guy selling this modern buchla synth for $4k. it does sound pretty cool though.
	9:13am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:11 see also: Brak, from Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast
	9:13am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "buchla christmas" by "Warner Jepson" Thank you for reminding me I bought this on Bandcamp years ago, likely after hearing it on your show!
	9:13am jmr3: ↳ Trouble @9:09 It's the exact mood I prefer for my holiday music (except for one particular Ray Conniff record, which is also accepatable)
	9:16am common: ↳ Song: "buchla christmas" by "Warner Jepson" very cool
	9:16am listener james from westwood: My goodness, does Jepson deserve a meatier Wikipedia page. I also envisioned this being composed by a lab-coat-wearing person at like Bell Labs or something (huge compliment); now I see he's more Bob Ross–like in some of his pics (also a huge compliment)!
	9:16am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ jmr3 @9:13 This sort of reminds me of a Xmas album my father has. My mom always hated it. I just looked it up; it's called 'A Very Merry Electric Christmas to You!'
	9:16am Trouble: 27-29 rue Beaubourg @ fred...
	9:18am Stu of Bot: This music is troubling, on point!
	9:19am Listener Jonny in MA: ↳ Song: "please be normal" by "oliver coates" Gorgeous, Trouble! Thx!!!
	9:20am Gaston: Beautiful morning music for these chaotic times.
	9:20am Stu of Bot: Music? Whale sounds maybe, music to be drugged by? Bill cosby’s playlist?
	9:20am traven: ↳ jmr3 @9:13 What's your feelings on the Harry Simeone Chorale Christmas record?
	9:21am fred: ↳ Trouble @9:16 That would indeed be where the Pompidou Center now stands, I work right next to it (under the fountain made by Nikki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely)
	9:21am Trouble: fabulous@ fred, lucky you!
	9:23am TDK60: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:16 Morning listener james from westwood: Hee. Yes, white lab coat and clipboard, pencil.
	9:23am Dances with Moomins: Hi to the wonderful moderns in this Troubled world.
	9:24am ThunderDumplin' (MW in Baltimore): ↳ Stu of Bot @9:20 It's important to remember, music is still music, whether you like it or not.
	9:25am Peter from Saranac Lake NY: Good morning Trouble and all. Liking the opening set, but now I have to shovel snow. See ya later.
	9:25am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Ryan Sterlingvirtue @9:13 $4k is a fair price for Buchlas (if they are working)
	9:25am listener james from westwood: ↳ TDK60 @9:23 Exactly! Like he stayed late to fiddle with the Big Iron after all the other oscilloscopists and slide-rulers had gone home.
	9:25am Zinn The Mood: Hey folks. Getting ready to start cooking for the classroom potluck for my 4th grader. Coffee with chicory and a smoothie first. What a moment we’re in, huh? Haven’t felt this hopeful about a coalescing of the 99% in a very long time.
	9:25am Stu of Bot: Music is like art, it’s subjective to the listener, to some, a car trying to start with no gas to the carb is music, those same people may also be buying cold medicine from multiple pharmacies a day.
	9:26am Honest Bernardo from Argentina: I’m gonna force my family to open their minds to this Xmas playlist next week!!! They’re all gonna love it.
	9:28am Stu of Bot: Honestly? Probably not.
	9:28am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: morning trouble- long time no hear…
	9:28am sphere: hello everybuggy. :)
	9:28am listener james from westwood: ↳ Honest Bernardo from Argentina @9:26 Beats the absolute tar out of that goddamn Christmas-shoes song or the like!
	9:30am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "buchla christmas" by "warner jepson" This is a Christmas tune I can get behind.
	9:30am pmcWhenever: yes i would like a Buchla 🫰under my ceramic tree, there will be real cookies for ye
	9:30am Honest Bernardo from Argentina: Yes sir @james! I can’t not hear anymore Mariah Carey slop
	9:31am jmr3: ↳ traven @9:20 I've never heard of it. There was a Robert Shaw Chorale record my mother had that is also acceptable. I just looked it up, it could go onto the good list - I bet I've heard at least some of it without knowing what it was.
	9:31am sphere: this is very diggable. :)
	9:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:28 While flipping through the fifty-cent record bin at the local record store / cafe, I was assaulted by a gold convertible festooned with Christmas plushies, driven by a Santa-hatted old white dude, and blasting "Holly Jolly Christmas" at window-rattling volume as it cruised up and down the street at maybe 5 mph. That was extremely unpleasant.
	9:33am sphere: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:32 hey Handy!
	9:34am sphere: currently fighting the "Happy Holidays" vs "Merry Christmas" battle in my little Southern city.
	9:36am Handy Haversack: ↳ sphere @9:33 Morning, sphere!
	9:36am listener james from westwood: ↳ sphere @9:34 My vote of course would be "Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!"
	9:36am traven: ↳ jmr3 @9:31 It includes the song "The Little Drummer Boy" (which, after all these years I still can't stand). However, there's some really good carols one normally doesn't hear this time of season.
	9:36am Zip7: Gotta say "A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector" is THE go-to holiday record around Chez Zip.
	9:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:36 Why choose the lesser evil, right?
	9:38am sphere: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:36 Glad I have my Elder Sign with me. :)
	9:40am Crownless Gander: Wazzap, oiseaux!
	9:41am Philip: whale song?
	9:41am Charles in Chicago: ↳ sphere @9:34 Happy Solstice! That's something I can really get behind.
	9:42am Charles in Chicago: I mean, just 2 more days and then the days start getting longer again.
	9:43am sphere: Handy, I have a treat for you. Do you know Manly Wade Wellman's Silver John stories?
	9:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ Charles in Chicago @9:41 Until the one year the druids oversleep and the sun is completely devoured and the frost wolves emerge from Jotunheim and summer never comes. Then what'll we say!
	9:44am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:43 we'll go wake up the druids... or else learn how to summon the sun ourselves!
	9:45am Handy Haversack: ↳ sphere @9:43 No ... I feel like I've read SOMEthing by MWW. A story at least. Good stuff?
	9:45am The Frasier Crane of Ypsilanti: Groovy tunes ✨
	9:46am Charles in Chicago: I'll be at this show on the morning of Solstice - Hamid Drake and Michael Zerang "drum up the sun" - as they've been doing for 34 years - I've been going for 20. It's the best. www.linkshall.org...
	9:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:45 Karl E. Wagner has edited his work, and I feel like I found a story through Wagner at some point? But not a collection, I don't think.
	9:47am sphere: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:43 Most excellent stuff! Fantasy set in the backwoods of Appalachia featuring a spell-wielding songster named Silver John who sets things right.
	9:48am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:43 (I looked up "Jotunheim" and found out it means "Giant Land" and now I have James Last playing in my head)
	9:48am ifeelfatnsassy: ↳ The Oscar @9:13 Damn... looks like it's no longer on Bandcamp. Not even on Discogs...
	9:48am Trouble: that sounds outstanding @ charles in chicago. fabulous way to celebrate the solstice
	9:48am sphere: and the music in the Silver John stories really exist. :)
	9:49am sphere: en.wikipedia.org...
	9:49am Handy Haversack: ↳ sphere @9:47 Nice. Puts me in mind a little of www.johnhornor.com... Have you read? "Stagger Lee" as incantation and more. Really good stuff.
	9:50am sphere: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:49 No, have not heard of John Hornor. I must take a look. Thanks!
	9:50am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Trouble @9:48 It's great. Drake and Zerang are both such good musicians, and have excellent rapport.
	9:53am Lucky: Great show!
	9:55am sphere: ↳ Song: "Serious Drinking" by "LATRALA" Good on LATRALA. music that is free as a bird now! :)
	9:58am fm Mike: Guuud morning Trouble & Troublatites!
	10:00am Trouble: gracias @ lucky!
	10:01am Todd-a-o: Nice set you’ve got going here Miss Chif.
	10:02am Trouble: merci@ todd-a-o
	10:03am rx "rexy" scabin: Good morning, Trouble and Everyone.
	10:08am AYAYRON: Oooooh nice. I thought that was some Tony Allen project
	10:09am fm Mike: Brownwood Recordings is a good company. I enjoy Daymé Arocena, a Cuban artist of theirs.
	10:10am fm Mike: @1%news. Good God. If they all banded together to make a rail line, they could do something positive.
	10:12am Steve Del Sol: I heard it! Your thinkin'!! Your under arrest!!
	10:14am HyperDose: ↳ fm Mike @10:09 gotta check that out! 🇨🇺🔥
	10:15am Trouble: i think brownswood is gilles peterson's label. he does have good taste...
	10:16am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): hi hi hi
	10:17am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "flug" by "kosmicher laufer" I miss hearing these guys!
	10:19am Zinn The Mood: The single biggest obstacle, IMO, to a real massive class consciousness being cemented is the relentless capitalist propaganda about the Rich. They’ve worked very hard for centuries, spending billions and billions, in convincing people to either Worship, or Emulate, the Rich. Which is basically the basis for all advertising, and the CIA working with Hollywood/tv to churn out both nationalistic tripe (supporting the American Dream lie), Copaganda and Who Wants to be Rich & Famous garbage (think of 80’s tv and films). But we’re truly, maybe just maybe, on the cusp of a new dawn. Have never seen anything more convincing than the public’s overwhelming reaction to the CEO assassination. One of the keys going forward will be the public’s capacity for and involvement with instead of worship relentless mockery and ridicule of them. That, along with the implicit threat of us coming after them, I’m afraid to say looks like the way forward.
	10:22am fm Mike: ↳ HyperDose @10:14 Do! I love her music. She just released her third album this year.
	10:22am Yes: 😎😎😎
	10:23am Cody: Roadtripping!
	10:23am fm Mike: Hello Bixa!
	10:23am Cody: Hi trouble!
	10:26am fm Mike: ↳ HyperDose @10:14 Another good suggestion, is Chef Gone Mad seasoning brand. It's great for meats and sandwiches.
	10:26am Crownless Gander: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:19 On the left side, an increasing obsession with advocacy and mobilization at the expense of organization has also been a big factor. I hope we can learn the lesson and start doing some real power analysis with respect to both our enemies and our allies. But I fear that a Trump administration will produce a lot more short-term fire-quenching strategy.
	10:29am fm Mike: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:19 That last part. I thought about that thr other day. The memes of Luigi feel like that episode of Black Mirror, where thr guy threatens to slit his own throat of he doesn't get his girl rescued. Then, at the end of the episode, you see he is living in a high rise, and you wonder if he played the system to get closer to rescuing her, or if he just cashed in and dropped out of the idea of revolution.
	10:33am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:19 Having worked TV commercials thirty years, I never once encountered a CIA spook on the set while filming a spot for corn flakes.
	10:34am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Crownless Gander @10:26 oof. lived through some disorganized organizing 2020-2023 and it just leads to burnout
	10:36am Crownless Gander: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:34 Yeah, it's very galvanizing and then very discouraging. Not really sustainable.
	10:36am tom tom the pipers son: hello trouble and all...i used to know someone who worked with matta clark on those carve ups...sounded like pure madness, like something like of the deniro character in Brazil...if i'm remembering the movie correctly
	10:42am rx "rexy" scabin: Reminds me a bit of America is Waiting.
	10:42am rx "rexy" scabin: @rx "rexy" scabin beatwise.
	10:42am listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "Iko iko" by "patrick cowley" Is Patrick Cowley the artist who does that track David Suisman uses as bed music? Has that same shuffly vibe.
	10:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:34 Anyone else read or reading this? www.commonnotions.org... The other side of the tunnel, after the organizing. Well, it never ends.
	10:43am fm Mike: ↳ Song: "Iko iko" by "patrick cowley" Sou ds like something g outta Matty Warwick's repertoire 😄
	10:44am Crownless Gander: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:43 No, cool idea! Looks like a good one.
	10:45am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Crownless Gander @10:36 i've personally witnessed a lot of perfectionism and policing in spaces, usually where organizers are between 20-40 y/o. i've seen a lot of energy spent on saying things the 'right way' or chatting about group dynamics theoretically rather than putting effort in to actually doOOOOo something and be okay if it isn't perfect. ayiyi
	10:46am Hoboken Jack: #TeamTrouble
	10:46am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Handy Haversack @10:43 trouble's show once again is the hub of great book recs
	10:47am rx "rexy" scabin: My kitty, Celeste, likes this very much.
	10:48am rx "rexy" scabin: Both Hugo and Celeste like your show, Trouble.
	10:48am listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "digging your scene" by "ivy" Ahhhh, great band covering great track of great band.
	10:48am Crownless Gander: Gotta go feed the capitalist machine! Thanks for the good vibes and engagement.
	10:49am Planet Ø Tyler: ↳ Song: "digging your scene" by "ivy" Blow Monkeys cover!
	10:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:46 A younger colleague of mine just sent around an e-mail saying she'd established a "Google Space" to talk about books. I love the idea but can't do Google products. I just e-mailed back the pile I've got going for the break: Finishing the latest issue of The Baffler (thebaffler.com) and just started Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052–2072 (www.commonnotions.org...). Also in the pile are Susan Cooper, Silver on the Tree Ananda Lima, Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil David Gibbs, Revolt of the Rich (CUP) Alvaro Enrigue, You Dreamed of Empires Todd McGowan, Pure Excess (CUP) James B. Haille III, The Dark Delight of Being Strange (CUP) David J. Goodwin, Midnight Rambles: H. P. Lovecraft in Gotham
	10:51am fm Mike: ↳ Song: "digging your scene" by "ivy" I like this. It gives me Spice Girls vibes.
	10:51am Yes: fantastic mix
	10:56am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 lovely! right now i'm bouncing between zami by audre lorde and a random one i snagged at an anarchist bookstore in liverpool "Friendship of Nations: Polish Shi'ite Showbiz" (bookworks.org.uk...)
	10:58am Trouble: Now reading: Olivia Laing "Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency". good stuff
	11:00am Cody: Trouble bring the heat!
	11:01am rebuketodali: Got a question for the troubled: I'm taking a trip to the Netherlands in a few weeks. Amsterdam, Eindhoven, and Utrecht are on my itinerary. Any recs for good record stores? (Will also take museum, bookshop, restaurant recs)
	11:02am Handy Haversack: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @10:56 bixa, it looks like Common Notions, the press that put out Everything for Everyone, is partly based in Philly. My colleague wrote back to say that it's her favorite book of the year and she'd met the founder at the American Studies Conference. She's in Philly, so they must have talked about that.
	11:03am Handy Haversack: ↳ rebuketodali @11:01 If you show up on the Continental Subway chatboard (starting at noon JC time on the Drummer stream), I'm sure listener Bas will show up. He's in Utrecht. Amsterdam Eric is often there as well. I bet they'd have recs.
	11:04am Carmen: This song about space is sooo gooood
	11:06am βrian: Bonjour, les oiseaux !
	11:06am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Handy Haversack @11:02 looks like there's a great book store in south philly i'll have to check out
	11:08am rebuketodali: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:03 Ah very good! Thank you!
	11:11am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:26 As we all know the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls: “One person with a pistol just shook the ruling class more than decades of peaceful organizing.” And, as we’ve seen for the past two weeks the words of the Prophet Seers on the proverbial walls of TikTok, YouTube, Twitter etc are totally in sync with the subway walls, wheat-pasted posters and banners of comrades all over NYC (and the world!). The Profiteers are reeling in fear. In another irony we of the 99%, to take a page out of an MBA course, need to capitalize on this crisis. Luigi’s act is the launch pad for the rocket that is the vast, previously somnambulant majority of people who haven’t been able until now to articulate how much they desire a non-capitalist society. For those working inside in political campaigns and advocacy work you’ve never had a better opportunity to get results, probably ever.
	11:12am Meesalikeu: you’re looking forward to a joe bataan memior? i worked with joe for 20yrs at his non music gig. i’m looking forward to it lol. he was s great mentor snd we had the bedt holiday parties, which were the only time he would play in those days.
	11:13am Meesalikeu: also, if possible is there an online example of a previous wfmu lcd magazine? it helps to see one to better fit a submission. gracias.
	11:14am cccinkc: ↳ Song: "What Good is a Castle" by "joe bataan" One of the first songs to get me hooked on WFMU! An all-timer.
	11:14am Trouble: wfmu.org...
	11:15am rx "rexy" scabin: @Zinn The Mood it is not surprising that the billionaire got concierge service law enforcement.
	11:21am Trouble: joe bataan's memoir: www.mahalpublishing.com...
	11:22am climate_ctrl: Wooooooooooo
	11:22am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:33 Getting the best camera angle on a breakfast cereal would probably preclude rubbing elbows with a CIA agent. Not the case for the owner of a major broadcasting network.
	11:23am Yes: Ahhh yeah
	11:23am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): dang trouble this set is k i l l e r
	11:25am rebuketodali: ↳ Song: "baby let me kiss you" by "fern kinney" Niiiiiiice
	11:27am rx "rexy" scabin: My heavens.
	11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ rebuketodali @11:08 Here's the playlist page: wfmu.org...
	11:27am zoe: Hi trouble 😈 I was sad about Jane birkinand francoise hardy
	11:30am Trouble: yes @ zoe, I was also very sad about that. I hope you are well!
	11:32am Blacktooth: ↳ Song: "baby let me kiss you" by "fern kinney" This song went off into unknown dimensions of kissy-ness
	11:32am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 Thanks for that excellent suggestion, HH! During the Bernie campaigns I began writing a utopian piece describing what everyday life would look like in an America socialist economy, inspired by Edward Bellamy’s “Looking Backward” (which incidentally was one of Martin Luther King‘s favorite books). Looking forward to this later as soon as I’m done cooking and then eating with a class of 4th graders. Teacher asked for the accompanying recipe. Mine’s called “Puttanesca for the People (including prominently Luigi Mangione).”
	11:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:32 I made a putanesca just this week!
	11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Hoboken Jack @10:46 Hi, Jack. Always room for more on #TeamTrouble!
	11:33am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:03 Handy, I read the book, have a line in a song that is from it. C.N. still has connections with Interference Archive in Brooklyn, but their main office is now in Philly.
	11:34am Trouble: hey @ hoboken jack!
	11:36am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Blacktooth @11:32 inspirational dimensions
	11:39am rebuketodali: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 Thank you!
	11:41am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:32 My latest addition: fennel seeds. Try it! Sort of fills in in a meatless sauce with an undertone of sausage flavor, when combined with smoked paprika, another favorite ingredient.
	11:42am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:41 fennel is so underrated
	11:43am rebuketodali: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:41 THIS. My mom always added fennel when she made gravy.
	11:44am rx "rexy" scabin: @Zinn The Mood I have a good red pepper sauce recipe. Roast peppers with fennel seeds. Take seeds out. Puree. Add garlic and oil as needed. Simple. I cannot keep out of food discussions. Sorry for eavesdropping.
	11:45am chresti: When I had a colonoscopy, everything was clean except for 2 fennel seeds.
	11:46am rx "rexy" scabin: @rx "rexy" scabin and salt and pepper.
	11:48am chresti: ↳ chresti @11:45 The doctor was impressed
	11:48am rx "rexy" scabin: Is the artist's name a nod to Dennis Bovell?
	11:49am Zinn The Mood: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:44 Sounds good, thanks. Will come back later to consider. I’ve gotta get out here soon. All Power To the People. I’ve got a Black Panthers “Free Food Program” shirt on for the purpose of hopefully engaging the young in some radical proletariat discussion in their classroom. Cooking comes from a place of love. Do it for one another, invite comrades to share. The 1% never cook for themselves. There’s a metaphor in there somewhere if someone wants to offer one…
	11:50am Trouble: @rx " rexy" : she's from the manchester dance scene 1990's

	11:54am Meesalikeu: one thing i do miss about 1980s music is the early 80s dub fad. that was solid and stands the test of time unlike 80s pop production (synths, gated drums, etc).
