	♥ 9:09am Trouble: i need to sit down with the digital kings and queens and create my own color intensities... just looking for a few extra minutes in the day. took me 45 minutes to get here toady! fmu is less that 4 miles from my home...
	9:11am Cheri Pi: B3.14!
	♥ 9:12am Trouble: bonjour bill w. reading a lot of shakespeare these days?
	9:14am specksnyder: Morning Trouble and Everyone!
	9:15am thedunkel: Morning Trouble! Morning All!
	9:19am Adrian in London: No grey world in London today. The sky is some weird colour I haven't seen for months... oh yeah, blue, that's it.
	9:19am braveness23: Oh crap, I've got Pi all over me now.
	♥ 9:20am Trouble: strange, i don't have any control over the color of the names on the playlist, the secondary info has turned red and i don't know why
	♥ 9:20am Trouble: blue sky adrian, that is an oddity here too
	♥ 9:20am Mike East: good morning trouble and troubladours
	♥ 9:21am Dominick: Richie was one of the nicest persons I ever met
	♥ 9:22am Sem Chumbo: Ah yes, Richie. Thx, Trouble.
	9:25am Adrian in London: On the downside, Trouble, the re-emergence of the sun means the bared chests of pasty-looking men cannot be far off...
	♥ 9:26am Trouble: don't go there adrian. ouch. flip flops have already made a giant resurgence locally, even though it was in the 40's this morning when i left the house
	9:27am Rev. Turnip Druid: Egad, missed Illusion of Safety. My face is doomed.
	♥ 9:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Wow. Thanks, Richie Havens. - I suppose 'Follow' is too obvious...
	9:29am Adrian in London: I once worked at a magazine that had a notice on the wall reminding the men who were working there that they were British and, as such, shorts and flip-flops were BANNED from the office as acceptable summer attire. I sort of agreed...
	♥ 9:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sounds like that'd've made a great gif for Ken, Adrian...
	♥ 9:33am Mike East: that'd've is my new favorite contraction
	♥ 9:33am Trouble: i wish we had some sort of concern over what we look like as humans! americans are the worst dressers on the planet, as of late.
	♥ 9:33am Andrew Waterloo: I am on board with the no flip-flops at work
	♥ 9:34am Trouble: unless you are a lifeguard!
	9:34am Adrian in London: ;-)
	♥ 9:34am Mike East: my boss requires flip flops at work in the summer....because he's too cheap to turn the air conditioner on when its 90 degrees...and we have no windows.
	9:34am specksnyder: my fear is that these cold early-spring days make people resort to sandals and socks
	♥ 9:35am Mike East: correction: no windows that open. plenty of glass for the sun to beam through
	9:35am specksnyder: do you work in a greenhouse Mike East?
	9:36am KevinfromBayRidge: Morning Trouble-somes. Sad Day. I had the privilege of talking to Mr Havens at the bar of Studio54 back in 1978. Very nice and down to earth person.
	♥ 9:37am Mike East: feels like it sometimes, specks
	9:37am Cheri Pi: 1771! I have to get that book
	♥ 9:38am Andrew Waterloo: I have an unreasonably negative reaction to people who wear shorts when it's still below 40F outside.
	♥ 9:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I am a massive Dylan fan - & I tell everybody 'I'm Not There' by Todd Haynes is great.
	9:40am specksnyder: I don't normally dig astrology, but if Richie Havens asked me about it, then I'd have been interested. Rest easy Mr. Havens.
	9:40am Murphy Kat: Mr. Havens - another casualty of the worst possible week
	9:41am specksnyder: I'm massive, and Bob Dylan is OK.
	♥ 9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...massive Astrology Enthusiast too - guilty on all counts...
	9:42am specksnyder: OK, done being cheeky. Back to work.
	9:42am sugarwolf: I have seen flip-flops and shorts AND scarves and hats all worn on the same day this week. Not by the same person though.
	9:43am sugarwolf: I once saw a young woman walking around in hotel slippers. Girl, you are in a shopping mall, buy some damn shoes.
	9:44am AndrewC.: I have to confess, I love the combination of shorts and a thick jumper on a spring/autumn day. Reminds me of being at the beach in the evening.
	9:46am Cheri Pi: I saw slippers at the grocery Sunday! and the woman's son was clucking like a chicken up and down each aisle! I didn't feel so embarrassed about my sick-bed sweatpants.. the clucking boy was actually pretty charming.
	♥ 9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm practically a Goth I'm so anti-shorts - like the opposite problem: the guy w/ long pants in August...bicycling may turn me around tho'...
	9:46am duke: I had to favorite this julia kent thing
	9:46am Rev. Turnip Druid: Army surplus boots 666 days a year. I have spoken.
	9:47am fleep: Flip flops are considered formal wear in these parts.
	9:47am ffrr: 'In the Mood For Love' is a fav of a friend of mine. Sarah Polly's 'Take This Waltz' is kind of a modern take on the desire theme. This Julia Kent is nice.
	♥ 9:47am Andrew Waterloo: I am sort of happy that as I've crossed the 30 year threshold I don't over heat everytime I put a sweater on.
	♥ 9:50am tim from champaign: I'm extremely anti water shoes/toes shoes worn as regular shoes. Boy, that gets my blood boiling.
	♥ 9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the subtext of clothing talk being the New Normal Climate?...
	9:51am Rev. Turnip Druid: Mrs. Druid is a big fan of the Teva-style sandals. We met in Tucson AZ so that explains everything. Cynical army-boot curmudgeon marries teva-wearing desert hippie. Evidently these things happen.
	♥ 9:51am fred: T-shirt, jeans, and cowboy boots year round. My one concession to weather is trading my usual perfecto jacket for a denim one, then no jacket
	9:53am sugarwolf: I never thought I would end up a Birkenstocks wearer, but hey.
	♥ 9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Regional Climate exceptions allowed, methinks. ...fleep: People forget there's little humidity in SoCal. (I was a SantaBarbarian); they like to call it 'Mediterranean'...
	9:57am fleep: What we have today is a 30 degree temp swing. 55 to 85. So whatever you pick to wear, at some point, is wrong.
	10:00am fred von helsing: coulda sworn this was Lali Puna
	♥ 10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well - I'm back in smalltown NorthNewEngland where I'm from - where the LayerDance (on & off w/ layers) is a way of life - exercise & a way of burning calories in itself...
	♥ 10:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...one hour in... - Food! - Chickens!
	♥ 10:05am tim from champaign: Alright! Lonnie Holley time!
	10:05am Magda: Where can I get a print of this, besides DIY?
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: all of these lonnie live cuts will be on the FMA at the end of april! yippee
	♥ 10:08am Trouble: yippee for the Free Music Archive!
	♥ 10:10am Trouble: today's artists is mary delaney. read all about her life in the 1700's in "the paper garden"
	♥ 10:10am Andrew Waterloo: Woot! Woot!
	10:11am βrian: Cold and gray over the isthmus today. Bonjour à tous.
	10:12am Kyle: I like Lonnie Holley better than Buddy Holly
	♥ 10:12am tim from champaign: Trouble - so the color strip and grey background are not part of the piece then? If so, it changes how I was looking at the art. Interesting.
	♥ 10:14am Brian in UK: Kyle they are both Holleys. Something mesmerising about Lonnie though.
	♥ 10:17am Brian in UK: St Georges Day today. Dragons stay indoors.
	10:18am Judd: Where's the French pop???
	♥ 10:20am Brian in UK: @Judd with the French Mom.
	10:20am Flemming: What an imbecil!
	10:22am Cecile: It snowed 4 inches last night in Mpls. Happy fucking spring.
	10:23am Mark: Deux Filles is groovy. Perfect for a gloomy Tuesday morning.
	♥ 10:24am DCE: good morning!
	♥ 10:25am DCE: ah Cecile you never get used to it, right?
	♥ 10:27am Trouble: it's a mixed bag here judd, lots of different sounds, including french pop
	10:28am Priscilla: Cecile, where is Mpls? :-)
	♥ 10:29am Tome: Good Morning Trouble ! Good Morning Kiddles ! Great Sounds and Atmospheres .....
	10:29am Cecile: Minneapolis?
	10:29am Cecile: and we are usually done with the snow by the end of March.
	10:30am Mark: Anita O'Day and the Three Sounds is ultra-smooth, too. My sympathies to our Minneapolis listeners. Hope you enjoy the cool tune-age.
	♥ 10:31am Ike: A. Waterloo@9:47, I know, right? I've also become less of a walking furnace past 30. But even I never wore shorts or flip-flops in this kind of weather (43 F in NYC this morning). Brr.
	♥ 10:32am DCE: we had some snow last week in CLE but nothing stuck...but everything's beautiful now
	10:34am Mark: Not flip-flop weather yet. Maybe tomorrow.
	10:34am Jennique: Good grey morning. I have to admit I am more interested in the handwritten type on this painting than the subject itself. Why wear flip flops to work when there are so many nice sandals out there? My favorite store name here in NYC is SHOEGASM, and yes the sign is in all caps.
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: thanks tome! tim in champaign: the color strip is part of the british museum catalog system.
	♥ 10:38am Andrew Waterloo: @Ike, maybe when I was younger and it was late spring when it's just the mornings that are cooler. I don't understand why people would want to walk around in malls, work, and city streets in flip flops.
	10:39am βrian: I rather wear flip-flops than heels.
	♥ 10:40am Vivian: I hate the sound that flip flops make and they're terrible for your feet. I confess, my shoe of choice is either chucks or tevas, depending on the temps.
	♥ 10:41am Andrew Waterloo: I've never considered heels.. they don't go well with my work socks.
	♥ 10:42am Ike: Tevas, yes please. Well, not yet, but maybe in a few weeks.
	10:44am βrian: Has anyone tried those toe shoes? They don't flop or clop.
	10:46am stu: Hei Trouble & fellow moderns! no need for flips in Finland ( except to and from sauna ) mean-time we got the Jersey City vibe goin' on here now...cheers!
	♥ 10:47am Trouble: hei stu!
	10:51am Gary the squirrel: Hey did you guys hear, Richie Valens died.
	10:53am βrian: In 1959, if my sources are correct.
	11:00am jennanadine: this song makes me want to ~~~~~~*~
	11:00am Mark: Richie Havens, Gary.
	11:04am r i s k y: Trouble, I had the grest pleasure of attenting the Studio B screening this Sat with my special girl. Really had a superb time, good looks, you're like my fairy godmother ya'know?
	♥ 11:05am Trouble: risky: thanks, i am so glad. i thought it was fun. such a great movie, even on seeing it for the second time... you should have said hi!
	11:12am r i s k y: Next time for sure! Loving the show as per normal, another lovely Tunesday.
	11:14am Erella inToronto: Hi Trouble, I agree with you about the Rodrigues movie. It has some flaws but I thought it was great. After seeing that movie, many of my friends wanted to see Shuggie Otis live. Unlike Rodrigues, Shuggie live these days is missing a spark. Kind of uninteresting considering the length of time since his II album was first recorded. Shuggie has not continued to evolve and be inspired. I don't blame him, I understand. He's had it rough.But I don't think I would go see Shuggie Otis play live any time soon.
	♥ 11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Painting is 18thCent. - !? - & a Lady!: I wonder if she was being defiantly 'weird' (inquotes) - or if being a Naturalist was considered a 'polite' thing to do... - I consider both Holl(e)ys (Buddy & Lonnie) pretty special & sort-of Perfect & BeyondCritique in their ways. - Buddy died @ - 22. ...Thats what I mean about NewNormalClimate: Snow in Mpls - & not here NorthNewEngland? ...When I was young, would cruise in December w/ no hat & an unzipped coat - but I recall that on occasion blazing on LSD was a factor...
	11:17am BigLankyGeordie: Sun is shining so beautifully here in Northern England this afternoon - the only thing that could possibly make the world a better place is if you go right ahead and play some Boards of Canada on the show. Go on I know you want to! ;-)
	♥ 11:20am tim from champaign: That's really interesting that people focused on the use of an atlas. I hadn't realized that the use of the internet machine had become so ingrained for some folks.
	11:21am Adrian in London: @BigLankyGeordie How, bonny lad, did you see on Rough Trade's Twitter feed today that someone bought a secret BoC RSD 12" put in the racks and not spoken about?
	11:21am kwhitehead: Totally concur re: the atlas. That hurts me in my librarian heart.
	11:23am BigLankyGeordie: @Adrian in London - yeah, that was me. No I wish. Really? Or is this just the usual BoC rumour mill in full effect? ;-) In fact come on , lets start a new BoC rumour right here!
	♥ 11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...story of toddler going behind TV & parent saying 'cute - looking for the person' - 'No - looking for the Mouse' - is already replaced by story of toddler touching TV screen expecting interactive... ...Konitz nicely reminiscent of Coltrane Quartet (my favorite) - is Year handy? - & Sun Ra just the Kewlest - the Original Musical Cosmonaut...
	♥ 11:25am tim from champaign: I didn't want to sound like a crumodgeoned luddite. I am more going with Trouble's comments multiple resources are needed to hunt down information.
	♥ 11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm not a Luddite - I'm a Marxist: I love the Tech I can afford - & that ain't much...
	♥ 11:29am Ike: At first I was very skeptical about this new Knife based on the two long, amorphous tracks that I'd heard, but maybe I'm starting to come around.
	♥ 11:29am tim from champaign: Boards of Canada!
	11:29am BigLankyGeordie: Awesome - THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!! Why aye man!
	♥ 11:32am Trouble: it did fit in very welll...a request that works is easy to fulfill. and i do love them
	11:32am Jennique: Loved this video for Dawan Cowboy. Must have watched a dozen times or so.
	11:35am BigLankyGeordie: Went to an incredible BoC party last summer - fella put speakers high into the trees in his garden and we all just stood outside all night supping Rioja and staring at the stars listening to BoC's sublime tunes. Ideal.
	♥ 11:36am Trouble: why if we don't want to use a computer are we luddites? we existed grandly before we had one in every room. many poor peeps relay on the public library for their computers, and they are not there all day. our world is not computerized, just select groups
	11:37am harveyjohn: Group I encountered early 2003? Digital Bled. Title of album/ cut "Caravan". French/ Morocan? influence. Nice horns. You been hearing of this?
	11:37am harveyjohn: Group I encountered early 2003? Digital Bled. Title of album/ cut "Caravan". French/ Morocan? influence. Nice horns. You been hearing of this?
	11:37am harveyjohn: Group I encountered early 2003? Digital Bled. Title of album/ cut "Caravan". French/ Morocan? influence. Nice horns. You been hearing of this?
	11:37am harveyjohn: Group I encountered early 2003? Digital Bled. Title of album/ cut "Caravan". French/ Morocan? influence. Nice horns. You been hearing of this?
	11:37am Adrian in London: @BigLankyGeordie Yes, it was a real live 12"". Pictures online.
	11:39am harveyjohn: Finger malfunction. Please excuse multiple posts...
	♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: @Adrian talking of Rough Trade. I made it to RT East with the intention of buying John Grant but ended up with Aaron Neville & Fela Kuti's Gentleman. Does JG's new one pass muster?
	11:43am Mark: Trouble, you're really hitting all the right notes today--not just being eclectic for eclecticity's sake (is that a word?), but having a feel for how beautifully certain records flow together that aren't "supposed" to. It's a true gift you have, and we're all the richer for it. (I'm not even being ironic.)
	11:46am BigLankyGeordie: Beautiful French/Moroccan music earlier
	11:46am Soundscape: Here, here, Mark. I've only been listening for about 30 min., but the show I've heard so far has been sublime.
	11:47am fleep: "Freeform isn't random" ... but I can't remember which DJ said it.
	♥ 11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just Socialize the damned Libraries & PostOffice already! The U.S. has such a pathological paranoia of Socialism - meanwhile the 1/10th of 1% steals our lives away... - Behind Rich all the way on that: Love the TroubleFlava - & same for most FMU'J's!
	♥ 11:49am Trouble: thanks guys. it is a passion, trying to show that all music can get along. hate divisions of most kinds. harvey john: i will look for that sounds swell!
	♥ 11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I mean 'behind Mark' - altho' 'Rich' may be an insightful fellow as well!...
	11:54am fred von helsing: aaah clothilde <3 <3
	11:55am Van in DC: Thanks Trouble! Have a great week! Gotta run, will catch the rest of the show on archive lol :)
	♥ 11:55am Vivian: Never heard of clothilde but liking it. Hey, did I miss any updates on the chickens?
	♥ 11:56am barney.grubbs: I've been randomly bursting out 'enlightenment' all week after getting that spiritual jazz comp. the rest of it is great too.
	11:57am fred von helsing: "new" vinyl was issued for clothilde a month or two ago
	♥ 11:58am Trouble: no viviian no chix talk today. have you gone to the facebook page" tofu the chicken"? that's my facebook chix page not to be confused with the"this is the modern world with trouble" facebook page
	♥ 11:58am fred: @FVH: I knew you'd be checking in for Clothilde. I had never heard of her before you told me about her
	11:58am fred von helsing: shop.bornbadrecords.net...
	11:59am Adrian in London: @brian I like it very much. It's different to QoD. It's prob on Spotify so you can listen before you buy.
	♥ 11:59am Vivian: @Trouble, I noticed a post about spring cleaning this morning. I have Tofu bookmarked, will check it out. @Fred. Thanks for info, will check it out. Perhaps visit my local record store to see if they have it in stock.
	1:57pm bennett: Why is Harry Partch's Daphen of the Dunes identified as an Illusion of Safety track? And forgive me if I mistaking the track -- but that's what comes up when I click on the IOS track.
	10:00pm trouble: archive was switched with last weeks for a few hours this afternoon, but all is fixed and swellllll now!

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from April 23, 2013

View Trouble's profile

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.

	9:19am Adrian in London: No grey world in London today. The sky is some weird colour I haven't seen for months... oh yeah, blue, that's it.
	9:19am braveness23: Oh crap, I've got Pi all over me now.
	♥ 9:20am Trouble: strange, i don't have any control over the color of the names on the playlist, the secondary info has turned red and i don't know why
	♥ 9:20am Trouble: blue sky adrian, that is an oddity here too
	♥ 9:20am Mike East: good morning trouble and troubladours
	♥ 9:21am Dominick: Richie was one of the nicest persons I ever met
	♥ 9:22am Sem Chumbo: Ah yes, Richie. Thx, Trouble.
	9:25am Adrian in London: On the downside, Trouble, the re-emergence of the sun means the bared chests of pasty-looking men cannot be far off...
	♥ 9:26am Trouble: don't go there adrian. ouch. flip flops have already made a giant resurgence locally, even though it was in the 40's this morning when i left the house
	9:27am Rev. Turnip Druid: Egad, missed Illusion of Safety. My face is doomed.
	♥ 9:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Wow. Thanks, Richie Havens. - I suppose 'Follow' is too obvious...
	9:29am Adrian in London: I once worked at a magazine that had a notice on the wall reminding the men who were working there that they were British and, as such, shorts and flip-flops were BANNED from the office as acceptable summer attire. I sort of agreed...
	♥ 9:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...sounds like that'd've made a great gif for Ken, Adrian...
	♥ 9:33am Mike East: that'd've is my new favorite contraction
	♥ 9:33am Trouble: i wish we had some sort of concern over what we look like as humans! americans are the worst dressers on the planet, as of late.
	♥ 9:33am Andrew Waterloo: I am on board with the no flip-flops at work
	♥ 9:34am Trouble: unless you are a lifeguard!
	9:34am Adrian in London: ;-)
	♥ 9:34am Mike East: my boss requires flip flops at work in the summer....because he's too cheap to turn the air conditioner on when its 90 degrees...and we have no windows.
	9:34am specksnyder: my fear is that these cold early-spring days make people resort to sandals and socks
	♥ 9:35am Mike East: correction: no windows that open. plenty of glass for the sun to beam through
	9:35am specksnyder: do you work in a greenhouse Mike East?
	9:36am KevinfromBayRidge: Morning Trouble-somes. Sad Day. I had the privilege of talking to Mr Havens at the bar of Studio54 back in 1978. Very nice and down to earth person.
	♥ 9:37am Mike East: feels like it sometimes, specks
	9:37am Cheri Pi: 1771! I have to get that book
	♥ 9:38am Andrew Waterloo: I have an unreasonably negative reaction to people who wear shorts when it's still below 40F outside.
	♥ 9:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I am a massive Dylan fan - & I tell everybody 'I'm Not There' by Todd Haynes is great.
	9:40am specksnyder: I don't normally dig astrology, but if Richie Havens asked me about it, then I'd have been interested. Rest easy Mr. Havens.
	9:40am Murphy Kat: Mr. Havens - another casualty of the worst possible week
	9:41am specksnyder: I'm massive, and Bob Dylan is OK.
	♥ 9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...massive Astrology Enthusiast too - guilty on all counts...
	9:42am specksnyder: OK, done being cheeky. Back to work.
	9:42am sugarwolf: I have seen flip-flops and shorts AND scarves and hats all worn on the same day this week. Not by the same person though.
	9:43am sugarwolf: I once saw a young woman walking around in hotel slippers. Girl, you are in a shopping mall, buy some damn shoes.
	9:44am AndrewC.: I have to confess, I love the combination of shorts and a thick jumper on a spring/autumn day. Reminds me of being at the beach in the evening.
	9:46am Cheri Pi: I saw slippers at the grocery Sunday! and the woman's son was clucking like a chicken up and down each aisle! I didn't feel so embarrassed about my sick-bed sweatpants.. the clucking boy was actually pretty charming.
	♥ 9:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm practically a Goth I'm so anti-shorts - like the opposite problem: the guy w/ long pants in August...bicycling may turn me around tho'...
	9:46am duke: I had to favorite this julia kent thing
	9:46am Rev. Turnip Druid: Army surplus boots 666 days a year. I have spoken.
	9:47am fleep: Flip flops are considered formal wear in these parts.
	9:47am ffrr: 'In the Mood For Love' is a fav of a friend of mine. Sarah Polly's 'Take This Waltz' is kind of a modern take on the desire theme. This Julia Kent is nice.
	♥ 9:47am Andrew Waterloo: I am sort of happy that as I've crossed the 30 year threshold I don't over heat everytime I put a sweater on.
	♥ 9:50am tim from champaign: I'm extremely anti water shoes/toes shoes worn as regular shoes. Boy, that gets my blood boiling.
	♥ 9:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the subtext of clothing talk being the New Normal Climate?...
	9:51am Rev. Turnip Druid: Mrs. Druid is a big fan of the Teva-style sandals. We met in Tucson AZ so that explains everything. Cynical army-boot curmudgeon marries teva-wearing desert hippie. Evidently these things happen.
	♥ 9:51am fred: T-shirt, jeans, and cowboy boots year round. My one concession to weather is trading my usual perfecto jacket for a denim one, then no jacket
	9:53am sugarwolf: I never thought I would end up a Birkenstocks wearer, but hey.
	♥ 9:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Regional Climate exceptions allowed, methinks. ...fleep: People forget there's little humidity in SoCal. (I was a SantaBarbarian); they like to call it 'Mediterranean'...
	9:57am fleep: What we have today is a 30 degree temp swing. 55 to 85. So whatever you pick to wear, at some point, is wrong.
	10:00am fred von helsing: coulda sworn this was Lali Puna
	♥ 10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well - I'm back in smalltown NorthNewEngland where I'm from - where the LayerDance (on & off w/ layers) is a way of life - exercise & a way of burning calories in itself...
	♥ 10:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...one hour in... - Food! - Chickens!
	♥ 10:05am tim from champaign: Alright! Lonnie Holley time!
	10:05am Magda: Where can I get a print of this, besides DIY?
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: all of these lonnie live cuts will be on the FMA at the end of april! yippee
	♥ 10:08am Trouble: yippee for the Free Music Archive!
	♥ 10:10am Trouble: today's artists is mary delaney. read all about her life in the 1700's in "the paper garden"
	♥ 10:10am Andrew Waterloo: Woot! Woot!
	10:11am βrian: Cold and gray over the isthmus today. Bonjour à tous.
	10:12am Kyle: I like Lonnie Holley better than Buddy Holly
	♥ 10:12am tim from champaign: Trouble - so the color strip and grey background are not part of the piece then? If so, it changes how I was looking at the art. Interesting.
	♥ 10:14am Brian in UK: Kyle they are both Holleys. Something mesmerising about Lonnie though.
	♥ 10:17am Brian in UK: St Georges Day today. Dragons stay indoors.
	10:18am Judd: Where's the French pop???
	♥ 10:20am Brian in UK: @Judd with the French Mom.
	10:20am Flemming: What an imbecil!
	10:22am Cecile: It snowed 4 inches last night in Mpls. Happy fucking spring.
	10:23am Mark: Deux Filles is groovy. Perfect for a gloomy Tuesday morning.
	♥ 10:24am DCE: good morning!
	♥ 10:25am DCE: ah Cecile you never get used to it, right?
	♥ 10:27am Trouble: it's a mixed bag here judd, lots of different sounds, including french pop
	10:28am Priscilla: Cecile, where is Mpls? :-)
	♥ 10:29am Tome: Good Morning Trouble ! Good Morning Kiddles ! Great Sounds and Atmospheres .....
	10:29am Cecile: Minneapolis?
	10:29am Cecile: and we are usually done with the snow by the end of March.
	10:30am Mark: Anita O'Day and the Three Sounds is ultra-smooth, too. My sympathies to our Minneapolis listeners. Hope you enjoy the cool tune-age.
	♥ 10:31am Ike: A. Waterloo@9:47, I know, right? I've also become less of a walking furnace past 30. But even I never wore shorts or flip-flops in this kind of weather (43 F in NYC this morning). Brr.
	♥ 10:32am DCE: we had some snow last week in CLE but nothing stuck...but everything's beautiful now
	10:34am Mark: Not flip-flop weather yet. Maybe tomorrow.
	10:34am Jennique: Good grey morning. I have to admit I am more interested in the handwritten type on this painting than the subject itself. Why wear flip flops to work when there are so many nice sandals out there? My favorite store name here in NYC is SHOEGASM, and yes the sign is in all caps.
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: thanks tome! tim in champaign: the color strip is part of the british museum catalog system.
	♥ 10:38am Andrew Waterloo: @Ike, maybe when I was younger and it was late spring when it's just the mornings that are cooler. I don't understand why people would want to walk around in malls, work, and city streets in flip flops.
	10:39am βrian: I rather wear flip-flops than heels.
	♥ 10:40am Vivian: I hate the sound that flip flops make and they're terrible for your feet. I confess, my shoe of choice is either chucks or tevas, depending on the temps.
	♥ 10:41am Andrew Waterloo: I've never considered heels.. they don't go well with my work socks.
	♥ 10:42am Ike: Tevas, yes please. Well, not yet, but maybe in a few weeks.
	10:44am βrian: Has anyone tried those toe shoes? They don't flop or clop.
	10:46am stu: Hei Trouble & fellow moderns! no need for flips in Finland ( except to and from sauna ) mean-time we got the Jersey City vibe goin' on here now...cheers!
	♥ 10:47am Trouble: hei stu!
	10:51am Gary the squirrel: Hey did you guys hear, Richie Valens died.
	10:53am βrian: In 1959, if my sources are correct.
	11:00am jennanadine: this song makes me want to ~~~~~~*~
	11:00am Mark: Richie Havens, Gary.
	11:04am r i s k y: Trouble, I had the grest pleasure of attenting the Studio B screening this Sat with my special girl. Really had a superb time, good looks, you're like my fairy godmother ya'know?
	♥ 11:05am Trouble: risky: thanks, i am so glad. i thought it was fun. such a great movie, even on seeing it for the second time... you should have said hi!
	11:12am r i s k y: Next time for sure! Loving the show as per normal, another lovely Tunesday.
	11:14am Erella inToronto: Hi Trouble, I agree with you about the Rodrigues movie. It has some flaws but I thought it was great. After seeing that movie, many of my friends wanted to see Shuggie Otis live. Unlike Rodrigues, Shuggie live these days is missing a spark. Kind of uninteresting considering the length of time since his II album was first recorded. Shuggie has not continued to evolve and be inspired. I don't blame him, I understand. He's had it rough.But I don't think I would go see Shuggie Otis play live any time soon.
	♥ 11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Painting is 18thCent. - !? - & a Lady!: I wonder if she was being defiantly 'weird' (inquotes) - or if being a Naturalist was considered a 'polite' thing to do... - I consider both Holl(e)ys (Buddy & Lonnie) pretty special & sort-of Perfect & BeyondCritique in their ways. - Buddy died @ - 22. ...Thats what I mean about NewNormalClimate: Snow in Mpls - & not here NorthNewEngland? ...When I was young, would cruise in December w/ no hat & an unzipped coat - but I recall that on occasion blazing on LSD was a factor...
	11:17am BigLankyGeordie: Sun is shining so beautifully here in Northern England this afternoon - the only thing that could possibly make the world a better place is if you go right ahead and play some Boards of Canada on the show. Go on I know you want to! ;-)
	♥ 11:20am tim from champaign: That's really interesting that people focused on the use of an atlas. I hadn't realized that the use of the internet machine had become so ingrained for some folks.
	11:21am Adrian in London: @BigLankyGeordie How, bonny lad, did you see on Rough Trade's Twitter feed today that someone bought a secret BoC RSD 12" put in the racks and not spoken about?
	11:21am kwhitehead: Totally concur re: the atlas. That hurts me in my librarian heart.
	11:23am BigLankyGeordie: @Adrian in London - yeah, that was me. No I wish. Really? Or is this just the usual BoC rumour mill in full effect? ;-) In fact come on , lets start a new BoC rumour right here!
	♥ 11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...story of toddler going behind TV & parent saying 'cute - looking for the person' - 'No - looking for the Mouse' - is already replaced by story of toddler touching TV screen expecting interactive... ...Konitz nicely reminiscent of Coltrane Quartet (my favorite) - is Year handy? - & Sun Ra just the Kewlest - the Original Musical Cosmonaut...
	♥ 11:25am tim from champaign: I didn't want to sound like a crumodgeoned luddite. I am more going with Trouble's comments multiple resources are needed to hunt down information.
	♥ 11:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm not a Luddite - I'm a Marxist: I love the Tech I can afford - & that ain't much...
	♥ 11:29am Ike: At first I was very skeptical about this new Knife based on the two long, amorphous tracks that I'd heard, but maybe I'm starting to come around.
	♥ 11:29am tim from champaign: Boards of Canada!
	11:29am BigLankyGeordie: Awesome - THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!! Why aye man!
	♥ 11:32am Trouble: it did fit in very welll...a request that works is easy to fulfill. and i do love them
	11:32am Jennique: Loved this video for Dawan Cowboy. Must have watched a dozen times or so.
	11:35am BigLankyGeordie: Went to an incredible BoC party last summer - fella put speakers high into the trees in his garden and we all just stood outside all night supping Rioja and staring at the stars listening to BoC's sublime tunes. Ideal.
	♥ 11:36am Trouble: why if we don't want to use a computer are we luddites? we existed grandly before we had one in every room. many poor peeps relay on the public library for their computers, and they are not there all day. our world is not computerized, just select groups
	11:37am harveyjohn: Group I encountered early 2003? Digital Bled. Title of album/ cut "Caravan". French/ Morocan? influence. Nice horns. You been hearing of this?

	11:37am Adrian in London: @BigLankyGeordie Yes, it was a real live 12"". Pictures online.
	11:39am harveyjohn: Finger malfunction. Please excuse multiple posts...
	♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: @Adrian talking of Rough Trade. I made it to RT East with the intention of buying John Grant but ended up with Aaron Neville & Fela Kuti's Gentleman. Does JG's new one pass muster?
	11:43am Mark: Trouble, you're really hitting all the right notes today--not just being eclectic for eclecticity's sake (is that a word?), but having a feel for how beautifully certain records flow together that aren't "supposed" to. It's a true gift you have, and we're all the richer for it. (I'm not even being ironic.)
	11:46am BigLankyGeordie: Beautiful French/Moroccan music earlier
	11:46am Soundscape: Here, here, Mark. I've only been listening for about 30 min., but the show I've heard so far has been sublime.
	11:47am fleep: "Freeform isn't random" ... but I can't remember which DJ said it.
	♥ 11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just Socialize the damned Libraries & PostOffice already! The U.S. has such a pathological paranoia of Socialism - meanwhile the 1/10th of 1% steals our lives away... - Behind Rich all the way on that: Love the TroubleFlava - & same for most FMU'J's!
	♥ 11:49am Trouble: thanks guys. it is a passion, trying to show that all music can get along. hate divisions of most kinds. harvey john: i will look for that sounds swell!
	♥ 11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I mean 'behind Mark' - altho' 'Rich' may be an insightful fellow as well!...
	11:54am fred von helsing: aaah clothilde <3 <3
	11:55am Van in DC: Thanks Trouble! Have a great week! Gotta run, will catch the rest of the show on archive lol :)
	♥ 11:55am Vivian: Never heard of clothilde but liking it. Hey, did I miss any updates on the chickens?
	♥ 11:56am barney.grubbs: I've been randomly bursting out 'enlightenment' all week after getting that spiritual jazz comp. the rest of it is great too.
	11:57am fred von helsing: "new" vinyl was issued for clothilde a month or two ago
	♥ 11:58am Trouble: no viviian no chix talk today. have you gone to the facebook page" tofu the chicken"? that's my facebook chix page not to be confused with the"this is the modern world with trouble" facebook page
	♥ 11:58am fred: @FVH: I knew you'd be checking in for Clothilde. I had never heard of her before you told me about her
	11:58am fred von helsing: shop.bornbadrecords.net...
	11:59am Adrian in London: @brian I like it very much. It's different to QoD. It's prob on Spotify so you can listen before you buy.
	♥ 11:59am Vivian: @Trouble, I noticed a post about spring cleaning this morning. I have Tofu bookmarked, will check it out. @Fred. Thanks for info, will check it out. Perhaps visit my local record store to see if they have it in stock.
	1:57pm bennett: Why is Harry Partch's Daphen of the Dunes identified as an Illusion of Safety track? And forgive me if I mistaking the track -- but that's what comes up when I click on the IOS track.
	10:00pm trouble: archive was switched with last weeks for a few hours this afternoon, but all is fixed and swellllll now!
