	9:20am Tiago: finally got to listen live and Nico is on! :)

	9:22am βrian: @SeanG: Which library?
	9:24am northguineahills: I fully agree, rev rabbit.....
	9:24am Violet: Yes, I'm loving all the songs so far. Lovely Tuesday start.
	♥ 9:24am SeanG: I'm at Boston University--The school of education library
	9:25am Violet: I have an MLIS too!
	♥ 9:27am Trouble: good morning doctor listeners, far and wide,smart and wanting to be
	9:27am the glowing one: @rrn63: there doesn't seem to be "one" comprehensive box set with all her albums, if you mean that. But there are many compilations with rarer stuff: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 9:28am Trouble: this morning's artist is grant huang.
	♥ 9:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this James Blake reminds me of KCRW...be this as it may...
	9:32am the glowing one: I prefer original CD releases anyway, not those remastered re-re-releases with extra bonus tracks in a box with a DVD and a finger thick booklet. the first CD release of an old album in most cases sounds the best, so I rather go scavenger hunting for used copies of those 80s CD releases.
	9:33am βrian: UW-Madison here. Aujourd' hui, nous sommes tous les bibliothèquaires.
	♥ 9:34am SeanG: Nice, the isthmus!
	9:34am the glowing one: doctor trouble... hm? so you get into trouble after your visit?
	♥ 9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - that's interesting glowing one! - as it kinda seems a lot of people say the Digital Mastering was poo @ 1st & gradually & finally got better...
	♥ 9:36am Andrew Waterloo: Je ne suis pas un bibliothèquaire, mes ma copaine dan ma class de français était.
	♥ 9:37am Trouble: www.nj.com...
	9:42am βrian: On te bénit Bibliothèquaire pour une Journée.
	♥ 9:42am Trouble: joe bataan is coming onto the show! october 1st! write that down on your calendar!! can't wait!!
	9:44am jeremy: This ordinary song is fantastic
	9:50am βrian: I'm glad the Grant Huang work isn't animated.
	9:54am dc pat: I remember the first CD release that I payed attention to was Chocolate Watchband and we were all shocked to hear a flute in Baby Blue.
	9:55am KevinfromBayRidge: Bon Matin! There I said it!
	♥ 9:57am Dominick: Fine music
	9:57am duke: My wife know this song by heart!
	♥ 9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - well - maybe it's that in the beginning they hadn't quite got the hang of what digital mastering was about ...& that they rush-released stuff to cash in on the market of people switching over to CDs - but ReMastering is not always an improvement as far as some's tastes run...
	10:02am the glowing one: nah, they just wanted their music to be louder than the next one. it's like the old "who's got the longer love stick". but just like in biology there's a physical limitation after which things get nasty and ugly. and with "they" I mean the artists. often people blame the producers hauled in by the record companies and the mastering engineers, as if the artists are victims of the loudness war.
	10:04am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Trouble - this song made me think of today's Burger King news, that they are introducing a new lower calorie french fry called "satisfries". No joke! www.usatoday.com...
	10:04am the glowing one: anyway, I'm not that sensible to brickwalled crackling sound.. I just take the older mastering if I can and if there is one by default. not putting too much thought into which release might be the absolute best sounding.
	♥ 10:05am Trouble: ha ha jennique!!
	♥ 10:05am Andrew Waterloo: @the glowing one, loudness is a 90s problem. In the 80s there were a lot of CD releases that were straight transfers from vinyl that where simply anemic and muddy. There were releases where digital remastering amounted to a significant improvement.
	10:06am the glowing one: I happen to like the "thin" 80s sound very much
	10:07am the glowing one: I just turn the volume up ;)
	10:07am glenn: it'd be zex, no?
	10:08am Cecile: allergies suck. Can you put a warm washrag on your forehead. Get out of my head glowing one.
	♥ 10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - you can tell the Decade something was Mastered in that way!... ...corresponds to the ongoing discussions about Live Volume @ venues - which I tend to see as Post-Rave & Post-HipHop - lotsa massive Bass - & also P.A. & speaker technology changing... ...I think the 2009 Beatles Remasters are an example of the right amount & the right kind of attention given a Remaster (White Album notably emerges from flat sonic murk, I think) - even though it noticeably changed the sound of stuff definitively 'Classic' ...& I also wonder why not go all the way & do 20-bit Mastering - &tc. ...
	10:09am Tiago: I had a sinus infection for 3 week after going diving to 30 mts jsut after clearing the loft with no mask... I sympathise.
	10:10am Benjamen Walker: Trouble! I am scared to come back downstairs to the second floor oh man - cant believe you are going to have joe on Oct 1st - amazing
	10:10am Cecile: I couldnt' understand why I respected rather than really liked Husker Du, and it's because they were so treble-happy. Which is funny because their first single is all bassy and PIL-y. Greg Norton rules.
	10:11am Benjamen Walker: I don't have any sinus meds either!
	10:11am Cecile: joe bataan in the flesh? awesome
	10:11am Benjamen Walker: oh wait! I have some strange pill in my bag? do you want it? I can come back downstairs if you unban me
	♥ 10:11am Andrew Waterloo: The Can remasters are good digital remasters.
	10:12am the glowing one: @rrn63: you sure it was only a remaster? probably a proper remixing, too. @Cecile: fully agree, it didn't take anything away from the music energy, quite the contrary!
	10:12am Cecile: Blackout? Watch Law and Order Criminal Intent.
	10:13am Cecile: Flashpoint is also good. And very sincere. And Canadian. Keith Mars, I mean Enrico Colasanto is the lead dude.
	10:13am egal: Zombies and meth sell on tv these days.
	10:15am Cecile: I like Longmire, and Sleepy Hollow is batshit crazy and kind of amazing because 1) they have a great black actress who is the center of the story for once, and 2) it is so over the top WRONG and completely unconcerned about it, it's refreshing.
	♥ 10:15am MD: Yes! SInce the Re-election...I have been calling my Reps. as much as possible. It's the first time in my life I have ever done so. We should all do it...it's not hard...make your voices heard... done so...
	10:15am Cecile: Also? Icabod Crane is smoking hot. I hear he goes shirtless next episode. hahahahahahahahahaa I love it.
	♥ 10:15am Andrew Waterloo: People like to watch shows about bad people, and then get upset they finally do something that was bad and not cool
	10:16am Cecile: the only anti-hero show I really liked was The Shield and that's because Michael Chiklis and CCH Pounder were so good.
	♥ 10:17am MD: "done so"=Typo...sorry
	♥ 10:17am Dominick: Many 80's CD reissues were done from cutting master tapes. These tapes were made to compensate for the limitations of vinyl releases and to assure all cuts (many are made) of the record had the same processing. Usually some bass roll off, elliptical filter (look it up) an upper mid boost and some compression were done. Later reissues went back to the original master mix tapes. Unfortunately the sound of the cutting master is the sound people recall and when hearing the original mix they think the re-mastering engineer has tampered with the sound. It's also 20 years later and many original mix tapes have deteriorated to the point that they are no longer usable.
	10:17am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Cecile - I actually lived in Sleepy Hollow for a few years, so I am curious to watch it. Something tells me none of it is actually shot there. And yeah, that Icabod Crane is a looker.
	♥ 10:18am Andrew Waterloo: The only new show I'm waiting for is British Sherlock Holmes
	♥ 10:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - love HuskerDu & BobM. - & been a kick of that stuff lately - & I think maybe (??) they aren't getting Remastered as they should because of the members' disagreements & - Big Legal Mess... - The Beatles Remasters were pretty thorough, yeah - w/ 2009 technology, @ what point is a Remaster a Remix - ? There was much press about it - should they leave Lennon popping a 'P' or 'autotune it' (so to speak) out? Like restoring a painting (no, really!) - what to remove or paint in...I think they did a great job that should be an example of Proprietary Mastering
	10:18am Cecile: I think it's shot in the Carolinas. It's so nuts. But the lead actress is going to be a star, even if the show flops.
	10:21am Cecile: Oh! And now I am totally into Torchwood. And yeah, new Sherlock Holmes. Woo! Some guy writer called himself a "Cumberbitch". I laughed so hard.
	10:21am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Forgot to tell you Trouble, I am going on bird walks again in Central Park for the fall migration. They happen on Tuesdays at noon. Can you teleport here? Saw a waxwing and a red breasted grosbeak (male) last week.
	♥ 10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - may be a great show - be a hot Ichabod Crane? - Where shall we gangly losers (well - I'm older & fatter now) go for archetypes? ...Like that America lady being 'Ugly Betty': That's Hollywood 'ugly'. You want halloween-bait ugly - work in a thrift store in these parts like I do...is all I'm saying...
	♥ 10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...bUT a hot Ichabod, I mean...
	♥ 10:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Thx Dominick for more precise technical intel...
	10:26am AKA BA (Hons) Full-on: If only I could play like that...
	♥ 10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - by the time my right-hand is Woogie-ing - the Left has ceased to Boogie...
	10:29am Chris from DC: Cecile, I assume you mean the English Sherlock, which is great, and not the one with Lucy Liu?
	10:29am Adrian in London: I read something online the other day that said a newspaper article, a propos Sleepy Hollow, had said: "The boy comes face-to-face with the headless horseman."!!
	10:30am Cecile: hahahahahah, thats' great.
	10:30am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Adrian in London - HAHA! Love that.
	10:31am Cecile: Chris, yes. My sister is convinced if there was no Sherlock Holmes link, it would be a fine show.
	10:33am maja: hi trouble and all of you
	♥ 10:33am Trouble: bw why are you scared? i am not going to kill you on air, it would be in a dark alley if it were to happen. at least that's the way they do it on tv, with a jihad and a serbo croation assistant. i took a red pill, i am shrinking as i write
	♥ 10:34am Trouble: o man jennique! thats so great!! my teleport machine is done broke...
	♥ 10:35am Andrew Waterloo: One of the things I don't like about a lot of these new shows is that all the main characters have become Jeff Speakman type slappy fighters.
	10:37am Cecile: That's why I like Longmire. No defying physics in the stunt scenes.
	♥ 10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - since Ang Lee/'Matrix' - video games ?? ...I often go off on how SciFi has become just ActionAdventure w/ no ideas - & my theories why...
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: adrian!! brits! what say you about the man booker prize being opened to all english speaking writers? i am not happy about it at all
	♥ 10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also - Media Consumption gets faster & faster; - Dylan: 'An Album used to be an Event. Those days are gohhhne'...
	♥ 10:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& I think that changes the nature of the stuff...
	10:43am KP: rudolph johnson sounding great on this fine day.
	10:43am KP: ... and hi, Trouble.
	♥ 10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - great track! Good example of how straight-ahead (if Post-Coltrane) Jazz can have plenty oomph?...
	♥ 10:47am tim from champaign: I'm currently reading Always In Trouble; an oral history of Esp-Disk' (not about DJ Trouble unfortunately). The first half is interviews with the owner Bernard Stollman and the other half is interviews with a wide variety of folks involved with ESP. DJ Kurt Gottschalk is thanked! I highly recommend it to fellow WFMUers.
	♥ 10:48am Trouble: lots of fun stuff going on over a tthe this is the modern world with trouble facebook page kiddies...www.facebook.com...
	10:49am Sigurdur: Hi all who read. And those who cant tell em i say Hi
	10:50am Adrian in London: Hi Trouble. I think it completely changes the nature of the prize, but it will make more money for the publishers. The Booker sort of passes me by, to be honest. I recommend most books published by Pushkin Press, by the way.
	10:50am Cecile: siggi!
	10:51am AKA BA (Hons) Full-on: DOnt answer that phone
	10:51am Sigurdur: cici
	10:52am Cecile: the Commonwealth.
	10:52am Lucky: ha ha ha!
	10:52am Adrian in London: The Commonwealth, is the phrase you're after! :-)
	10:54am glenn: do i detect veronica mars love, cecile?
	10:55am Cecile: I think people who are reading literary fiction, even here in the Colonies, share a sensibility that wouldn't be sullied by including Amuricans. You know it, glenn.
	10:56am Cecile: I'm waiting for Jennifer Weiner to tweet something about the Booker Prize excluding "commercial fiction". hahahaha
	10:56am terry is cooking: What was that graphic novel by Nick on Kickstarter again?
	10:56am glenn: me too.
	♥ 10:57am Andrew Waterloo: www.kickstarter.com...
	10:57am Cecile: SoapNet got me hooked on it. I can't wait for the movie.
	10:58am Cecile: My husband is convinced Veronica is Buffy and Neptune is the Hellmouth. hahaha
	10:58am glenn: it's not fiction, but the new bill bryson is pretty great.
	10:58am terry is cooking: Thanks Andrew!
	10:59am kwhitehead: Jim Crace all the way for the Booker. "Harvest" is an exceptional book.
	♥ 10:59am Trouble: yes the commonwealth! merci. and thanks for the pushkin suggestion. i read tons of UK fiction, always looking for more good sstuff!
	♥ 11:00am Andrew Waterloo: I wish didn't have the reading pace of a patient land tortoise.
	♥ 11:01am Trouble: tim: wonder if that esp book talks about all the money that bernard ripped off from his artists and workers?
	11:02am Adrian in London: You'd love Findings by Kathleen Jamie. I might have mentioned it before but she's a Scottish poet and the book is all about birds and nature. It's such a good book.
	♥ 11:02am Trouble: thank you andrew waterloo!! check it out peeps, great cartoonist, great book!
	♥ 11:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - the Ugly Truth: I haven't read a blessed thing since getting high-speed net @ home several months ago - & I hardly Watch anything either. Too much Music - !!!...& - ur-em...chatting...Eventually my brain will likely protest...
	♥ 11:08am tim from champaign: Trouble - yup. That's regularly brought up. Not glossed over at all.
	♥ 11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...some real Ugly...
	11:09am Cecile: good to hear, tim. Because their business stuff was sketchy.
	♥ 11:12am tim from champaign: The takes on the $$$ issue are quite varied. Some artists are understandably salty, some appreciate the fact that ESP launched their recording career when no one else was interested even though they weren't paid and some felt they were treated squarely.
	11:13am Cecile: A lot of this later John Foxx stuff I like better than most Ultravox.
	♥ 11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - sounds frankly like most record co. / show biz stories...
	♥ 11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Keef Richrads on Allan Klein: ...'the price of an Education'...
	♥ 11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if I'm gonna typo like that all day I might as well get the leftover Guinness outta the fridge already @ this hour & be done w/ it...
	11:19am N'lo: loving this creepy vibe from kaboom karavan!!
	11:20am Cecile: trouble, have you heard Portico Quartet? They are much in the vibe of the previous instrumental.
	♥ 11:23am stefica: i was going to lament the news on the Man Booker Prize, but then I looked at the list of past winners and I think I've only read three of the books. So I guess I don't care after all.
	♥ 11:26am tim from champaign: Throw out the Dems too! All the bums!
	11:26am scentymint endstinks: Listening to your show made my laundry come clean!
	11:28am scentymint endstinks: I guess they will now have to rename it the "Mann Booker T and the MGs prize" from now on.
	11:31am scentymint endstinks: @at ken from hyde park "two rattlesnakes and a Gila monster." I hope the Gila monster brought a knife!
	11:33am Marmalade Kitty: Let the prisoners out, they can be rehabilitated.. Put congress in jail where they belong. At least 8 years hard labour..
	♥ 11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this Jackie Mitoo is - 'Norwegian Wood' - yeah?...
	11:35am Nfrae from Oregon: Jamaican wood!
	11:35am Cecile: Norwegian Hemp.
	♥ 11:35am tim from champaign: I saw Ian Mackaye play in his band The Evens a few years back and he said something to this effect: "Washington D.C. is a lot like a college town. Politicians come to town, fuck the joint up for 4 years, then split."
	11:36am Cecile: hahahaha nfrae
	♥ 11:36am Andrew Waterloo: We should make congress wait in line for the next iPhone
	♥ 11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...members of Congress have to spend most of their time raising campaign funds - being telemarketers & the like! - Now - which Party do you suppose really supports Campaign Reform - ??...
	♥ 11:40am Trouble: love-itis
	♥ 11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...you think you're immune...
	♥ 11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Saturn Return, Toni !
	♥ 11:48am dale: awww, you're welcome. so ooh ooh girl / wall of sound delectable!
	11:49am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Wait, I thought Toni Basil just turned 70 or something.
	11:50am glenn: maybe she was born on february 29?
	11:50am Adrian in London: Ooh, ¡hola!
	♥ 11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'When I grow up, I'll...!' - oh wait - my 20s are over... - Don't worry. Accept Failure like all the rest of us MiddleAgers...it's no big deal...
	♥ 11:53am Trouble: thanks for the musical and literary suggestions doctor listeners! see you here next week
	11:53am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Toni Basil's hit song Micki was made when she was middle aged. It's not over yet. But I DO have to run and go on my bird walk! Later Trouble!
	♥ 11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...We covered all the Certainties: - taxes (well, Congress), death (well, aging) - & of course, Trouble !; ...some Hope or @ least Beauty from the Pandora's Box of Life, then...
	♥ 11:59am dale: dark words rev rabbit, dark words
	♥ 12:00pm Brian in UK: Well Toni Basil was in Easy Rider.
	12:01pm Marmalade Kitty: already!
	12:03pm john: and Rocky Horror

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.

	9:08am duke: Good morning Dr. Trouble
	9:08am Sam: Two rattlesnakes and a Gila monster walk into a bar...

	♥ 9:09am SeanG: burger records kicking butt.
	9:09am northguineahills: I feel a slutty click star streak coming on....
	9:10am berlusconi's nose: You are starting out the day in true WFMU style

	9:22am βrian: @SeanG: Which library?
	9:24am northguineahills: I fully agree, rev rabbit.....

	9:25am Violet: I have an MLIS too!
	♥ 9:27am Trouble: good morning doctor listeners, far and wide,smart and wanting to be
	9:27am the glowing one: @rrn63: there doesn't seem to be "one" comprehensive box set with all her albums, if you mean that. But there are many compilations with rarer stuff: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 9:28am Trouble: this morning's artist is grant huang.
	♥ 9:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this James Blake reminds me of KCRW...be this as it may...
	9:32am the glowing one: I prefer original CD releases anyway, not those remastered re-re-releases with extra bonus tracks in a box with a DVD and a finger thick booklet. the first CD release of an old album in most cases sounds the best, so I rather go scavenger hunting for used copies of those 80s CD releases.
	9:33am βrian: UW-Madison here. Aujourd' hui, nous sommes tous les bibliothèquaires.
	♥ 9:34am SeanG: Nice, the isthmus!
	9:34am the glowing one: doctor trouble... hm? so you get into trouble after your visit?
	♥ 9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - that's interesting glowing one! - as it kinda seems a lot of people say the Digital Mastering was poo @ 1st & gradually & finally got better...
	♥ 9:36am Andrew Waterloo: Je ne suis pas un bibliothèquaire, mes ma copaine dan ma class de français était.
	♥ 9:37am Trouble: www.nj.com...
	9:42am βrian: On te bénit Bibliothèquaire pour une Journée.
	♥ 9:42am Trouble: joe bataan is coming onto the show! october 1st! write that down on your calendar!! can't wait!!
	9:44am jeremy: This ordinary song is fantastic
	9:50am βrian: I'm glad the Grant Huang work isn't animated.
	9:54am dc pat: I remember the first CD release that I payed attention to was Chocolate Watchband and we were all shocked to hear a flute in Baby Blue.
	9:55am KevinfromBayRidge: Bon Matin! There I said it!
	♥ 9:57am Dominick: Fine music
	9:57am duke: My wife know this song by heart!
	♥ 9:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - well - maybe it's that in the beginning they hadn't quite got the hang of what digital mastering was about ...& that they rush-released stuff to cash in on the market of people switching over to CDs - but ReMastering is not always an improvement as far as some's tastes run...
	10:02am the glowing one: nah, they just wanted their music to be louder than the next one. it's like the old "who's got the longer love stick". but just like in biology there's a physical limitation after which things get nasty and ugly. and with "they" I mean the artists. often people blame the producers hauled in by the record companies and the mastering engineers, as if the artists are victims of the loudness war.
	10:04am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Trouble - this song made me think of today's Burger King news, that they are introducing a new lower calorie french fry called "satisfries". No joke! www.usatoday.com...
	10:04am the glowing one: anyway, I'm not that sensible to brickwalled crackling sound.. I just take the older mastering if I can and if there is one by default. not putting too much thought into which release might be the absolute best sounding.
	♥ 10:05am Trouble: ha ha jennique!!
	♥ 10:05am Andrew Waterloo: @the glowing one, loudness is a 90s problem. In the 80s there were a lot of CD releases that were straight transfers from vinyl that where simply anemic and muddy. There were releases where digital remastering amounted to a significant improvement.
	10:06am the glowing one: I happen to like the "thin" 80s sound very much
	10:07am the glowing one: I just turn the volume up ;)
	10:07am glenn: it'd be zex, no?
	10:08am Cecile: allergies suck. Can you put a warm washrag on your forehead. Get out of my head glowing one.
	♥ 10:08am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - you can tell the Decade something was Mastered in that way!... ...corresponds to the ongoing discussions about Live Volume @ venues - which I tend to see as Post-Rave & Post-HipHop - lotsa massive Bass - & also P.A. & speaker technology changing... ...I think the 2009 Beatles Remasters are an example of the right amount & the right kind of attention given a Remaster (White Album notably emerges from flat sonic murk, I think) - even though it noticeably changed the sound of stuff definitively 'Classic' ...& I also wonder why not go all the way & do 20-bit Mastering - &tc. ...
	10:09am Tiago: I had a sinus infection for 3 week after going diving to 30 mts jsut after clearing the loft with no mask... I sympathise.
	10:10am Benjamen Walker: Trouble! I am scared to come back downstairs to the second floor oh man - cant believe you are going to have joe on Oct 1st - amazing
	10:10am Cecile: I couldnt' understand why I respected rather than really liked Husker Du, and it's because they were so treble-happy. Which is funny because their first single is all bassy and PIL-y. Greg Norton rules.
	10:11am Benjamen Walker: I don't have any sinus meds either!
	10:11am Cecile: joe bataan in the flesh? awesome
	10:11am Benjamen Walker: oh wait! I have some strange pill in my bag? do you want it? I can come back downstairs if you unban me
	♥ 10:11am Andrew Waterloo: The Can remasters are good digital remasters.
	10:12am the glowing one: @rrn63: you sure it was only a remaster? probably a proper remixing, too. @Cecile: fully agree, it didn't take anything away from the music energy, quite the contrary!
	10:12am Cecile: Blackout? Watch Law and Order Criminal Intent.
	10:13am Cecile: Flashpoint is also good. And very sincere. And Canadian. Keith Mars, I mean Enrico Colasanto is the lead dude.
	10:13am egal: Zombies and meth sell on tv these days.
	10:15am Cecile: I like Longmire, and Sleepy Hollow is batshit crazy and kind of amazing because 1) they have a great black actress who is the center of the story for once, and 2) it is so over the top WRONG and completely unconcerned about it, it's refreshing.
	♥ 10:15am MD: Yes! SInce the Re-election...I have been calling my Reps. as much as possible. It's the first time in my life I have ever done so. We should all do it...it's not hard...make your voices heard... done so...
	10:15am Cecile: Also? Icabod Crane is smoking hot. I hear he goes shirtless next episode. hahahahahahahahahaa I love it.
	♥ 10:15am Andrew Waterloo: People like to watch shows about bad people, and then get upset they finally do something that was bad and not cool
	10:16am Cecile: the only anti-hero show I really liked was The Shield and that's because Michael Chiklis and CCH Pounder were so good.
	♥ 10:17am MD: "done so"=Typo...sorry
	♥ 10:17am Dominick: Many 80's CD reissues were done from cutting master tapes. These tapes were made to compensate for the limitations of vinyl releases and to assure all cuts (many are made) of the record had the same processing. Usually some bass roll off, elliptical filter (look it up) an upper mid boost and some compression were done. Later reissues went back to the original master mix tapes. Unfortunately the sound of the cutting master is the sound people recall and when hearing the original mix they think the re-mastering engineer has tampered with the sound. It's also 20 years later and many original mix tapes have deteriorated to the point that they are no longer usable.
	10:17am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Cecile - I actually lived in Sleepy Hollow for a few years, so I am curious to watch it. Something tells me none of it is actually shot there. And yeah, that Icabod Crane is a looker.
	♥ 10:18am Andrew Waterloo: The only new show I'm waiting for is British Sherlock Holmes
	♥ 10:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - love HuskerDu & BobM. - & been a kick of that stuff lately - & I think maybe (??) they aren't getting Remastered as they should because of the members' disagreements & - Big Legal Mess... - The Beatles Remasters were pretty thorough, yeah - w/ 2009 technology, @ what point is a Remaster a Remix - ? There was much press about it - should they leave Lennon popping a 'P' or 'autotune it' (so to speak) out? Like restoring a painting (no, really!) - what to remove or paint in...I think they did a great job that should be an example of Proprietary Mastering
	10:18am Cecile: I think it's shot in the Carolinas. It's so nuts. But the lead actress is going to be a star, even if the show flops.
	10:21am Cecile: Oh! And now I am totally into Torchwood. And yeah, new Sherlock Holmes. Woo! Some guy writer called himself a "Cumberbitch". I laughed so hard.
	10:21am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Forgot to tell you Trouble, I am going on bird walks again in Central Park for the fall migration. They happen on Tuesdays at noon. Can you teleport here? Saw a waxwing and a red breasted grosbeak (male) last week.
	♥ 10:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - may be a great show - be a hot Ichabod Crane? - Where shall we gangly losers (well - I'm older & fatter now) go for archetypes? ...Like that America lady being 'Ugly Betty': That's Hollywood 'ugly'. You want halloween-bait ugly - work in a thrift store in these parts like I do...is all I'm saying...
	♥ 10:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...bUT a hot Ichabod, I mean...
	♥ 10:26am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - Thx Dominick for more precise technical intel...
	10:26am AKA BA (Hons) Full-on: If only I could play like that...
	♥ 10:28am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...yeah - by the time my right-hand is Woogie-ing - the Left has ceased to Boogie...
	10:29am Chris from DC: Cecile, I assume you mean the English Sherlock, which is great, and not the one with Lucy Liu?
	10:29am Adrian in London: I read something online the other day that said a newspaper article, a propos Sleepy Hollow, had said: "The boy comes face-to-face with the headless horseman."!!
	10:30am Cecile: hahahahahah, thats' great.
	10:30am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Adrian in London - HAHA! Love that.
	10:31am Cecile: Chris, yes. My sister is convinced if there was no Sherlock Holmes link, it would be a fine show.
	10:33am maja: hi trouble and all of you
	♥ 10:33am Trouble: bw why are you scared? i am not going to kill you on air, it would be in a dark alley if it were to happen. at least that's the way they do it on tv, with a jihad and a serbo croation assistant. i took a red pill, i am shrinking as i write
	♥ 10:34am Trouble: o man jennique! thats so great!! my teleport machine is done broke...
	♥ 10:35am Andrew Waterloo: One of the things I don't like about a lot of these new shows is that all the main characters have become Jeff Speakman type slappy fighters.
	10:37am Cecile: That's why I like Longmire. No defying physics in the stunt scenes.
	♥ 10:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - since Ang Lee/'Matrix' - video games ?? ...I often go off on how SciFi has become just ActionAdventure w/ no ideas - & my theories why...
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: adrian!! brits! what say you about the man booker prize being opened to all english speaking writers? i am not happy about it at all
	♥ 10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also - Media Consumption gets faster & faster; - Dylan: 'An Album used to be an Event. Those days are gohhhne'...
	♥ 10:42am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& I think that changes the nature of the stuff...
	10:43am KP: rudolph johnson sounding great on this fine day.
	10:43am KP: ... and hi, Trouble.
	♥ 10:46am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - great track! Good example of how straight-ahead (if Post-Coltrane) Jazz can have plenty oomph?...
	♥ 10:47am tim from champaign: I'm currently reading Always In Trouble; an oral history of Esp-Disk' (not about DJ Trouble unfortunately). The first half is interviews with the owner Bernard Stollman and the other half is interviews with a wide variety of folks involved with ESP. DJ Kurt Gottschalk is thanked! I highly recommend it to fellow WFMUers.
	♥ 10:48am Trouble: lots of fun stuff going on over a tthe this is the modern world with trouble facebook page kiddies...www.facebook.com...
	10:49am Sigurdur: Hi all who read. And those who cant tell em i say Hi
	10:50am Adrian in London: Hi Trouble. I think it completely changes the nature of the prize, but it will make more money for the publishers. The Booker sort of passes me by, to be honest. I recommend most books published by Pushkin Press, by the way.
	10:50am Cecile: siggi!
	10:51am AKA BA (Hons) Full-on: DOnt answer that phone
	10:51am Sigurdur: cici
	10:52am Cecile: the Commonwealth.
	10:52am Lucky: ha ha ha!
	10:52am Adrian in London: The Commonwealth, is the phrase you're after! :-)
	10:54am glenn: do i detect veronica mars love, cecile?
	10:55am Cecile: I think people who are reading literary fiction, even here in the Colonies, share a sensibility that wouldn't be sullied by including Amuricans. You know it, glenn.
	10:56am Cecile: I'm waiting for Jennifer Weiner to tweet something about the Booker Prize excluding "commercial fiction". hahahaha
	10:56am terry is cooking: What was that graphic novel by Nick on Kickstarter again?
	10:56am glenn: me too.
	♥ 10:57am Andrew Waterloo: www.kickstarter.com...
	10:57am Cecile: SoapNet got me hooked on it. I can't wait for the movie.
	10:58am Cecile: My husband is convinced Veronica is Buffy and Neptune is the Hellmouth. hahaha
	10:58am glenn: it's not fiction, but the new bill bryson is pretty great.
	10:58am terry is cooking: Thanks Andrew!
	10:59am kwhitehead: Jim Crace all the way for the Booker. "Harvest" is an exceptional book.
	♥ 10:59am Trouble: yes the commonwealth! merci. and thanks for the pushkin suggestion. i read tons of UK fiction, always looking for more good sstuff!
	♥ 11:00am Andrew Waterloo: I wish didn't have the reading pace of a patient land tortoise.
	♥ 11:01am Trouble: tim: wonder if that esp book talks about all the money that bernard ripped off from his artists and workers?
	11:02am Adrian in London: You'd love Findings by Kathleen Jamie. I might have mentioned it before but she's a Scottish poet and the book is all about birds and nature. It's such a good book.
	♥ 11:02am Trouble: thank you andrew waterloo!! check it out peeps, great cartoonist, great book!
	♥ 11:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - the Ugly Truth: I haven't read a blessed thing since getting high-speed net @ home several months ago - & I hardly Watch anything either. Too much Music - !!!...& - ur-em...chatting...Eventually my brain will likely protest...
	♥ 11:08am tim from champaign: Trouble - yup. That's regularly brought up. Not glossed over at all.
	♥ 11:09am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...some real Ugly...
	11:09am Cecile: good to hear, tim. Because their business stuff was sketchy.
	♥ 11:12am tim from champaign: The takes on the $$$ issue are quite varied. Some artists are understandably salty, some appreciate the fact that ESP launched their recording career when no one else was interested even though they weren't paid and some felt they were treated squarely.
	11:13am Cecile: A lot of this later John Foxx stuff I like better than most Ultravox.
	♥ 11:14am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - sounds frankly like most record co. / show biz stories...
	♥ 11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Keef Richrads on Allan Klein: ...'the price of an Education'...
	♥ 11:19am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...if I'm gonna typo like that all day I might as well get the leftover Guinness outta the fridge already @ this hour & be done w/ it...
	11:19am N'lo: loving this creepy vibe from kaboom karavan!!
	11:20am Cecile: trouble, have you heard Portico Quartet? They are much in the vibe of the previous instrumental.
	♥ 11:23am stefica: i was going to lament the news on the Man Booker Prize, but then I looked at the list of past winners and I think I've only read three of the books. So I guess I don't care after all.
	♥ 11:26am tim from champaign: Throw out the Dems too! All the bums!
	11:26am scentymint endstinks: Listening to your show made my laundry come clean!
	11:28am scentymint endstinks: I guess they will now have to rename it the "Mann Booker T and the MGs prize" from now on.
	11:31am scentymint endstinks: @at ken from hyde park "two rattlesnakes and a Gila monster." I hope the Gila monster brought a knife!
	11:33am Marmalade Kitty: Let the prisoners out, they can be rehabilitated.. Put congress in jail where they belong. At least 8 years hard labour..
	♥ 11:34am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...this Jackie Mitoo is - 'Norwegian Wood' - yeah?...
	11:35am Nfrae from Oregon: Jamaican wood!
	11:35am Cecile: Norwegian Hemp.
	♥ 11:35am tim from champaign: I saw Ian Mackaye play in his band The Evens a few years back and he said something to this effect: "Washington D.C. is a lot like a college town. Politicians come to town, fuck the joint up for 4 years, then split."
	11:36am Cecile: hahahaha nfrae
	♥ 11:36am Andrew Waterloo: We should make congress wait in line for the next iPhone
	♥ 11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...members of Congress have to spend most of their time raising campaign funds - being telemarketers & the like! - Now - which Party do you suppose really supports Campaign Reform - ??...
	♥ 11:40am Trouble: love-itis
	♥ 11:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...you think you're immune...
	♥ 11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Saturn Return, Toni !
	♥ 11:48am dale: awww, you're welcome. so ooh ooh girl / wall of sound delectable!
	11:49am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Wait, I thought Toni Basil just turned 70 or something.
	11:50am glenn: maybe she was born on february 29?
	11:50am Adrian in London: Ooh, ¡hola!
	♥ 11:51am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'When I grow up, I'll...!' - oh wait - my 20s are over... - Don't worry. Accept Failure like all the rest of us MiddleAgers...it's no big deal...
	♥ 11:53am Trouble: thanks for the musical and literary suggestions doctor listeners! see you here next week
	11:53am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Toni Basil's hit song Micki was made when she was middle aged. It's not over yet. But I DO have to run and go on my bird walk! Later Trouble!
	♥ 11:58am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...We covered all the Certainties: - taxes (well, Congress), death (well, aging) - & of course, Trouble !; ...some Hope or @ least Beauty from the Pandora's Box of Life, then...
	♥ 11:59am dale: dark words rev rabbit, dark words
