	♥ 9:40am Priscilla: :-D Wait, isn't that Opposite Day?
	♥ 9:40am Brian in UK: Hello trouble & folks. National Stationery Week here. No really.
	♥ 9:41am Ken From Hyde Park: Temperatures not freezing is very welcome.
	9:41am Chris from DC: I'm with you. I can be a fool any day.
	♥ 9:45am Priscilla: OK thanks! I will read it!
	9:47am kwhitehead: Hi Trouble: I love how you are always repping for the public library. Thanks. Also, might I recommend "Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It's super engaging and written with such brilliant confidence.
	9:48am Fernando M P: @Doca: Sim, I'm from São Paulo. Sometimes I think I'm the only WFMU listener in SP. Are you from here too?
	9:48am Rev. Turnip Druid: .....................eh, what it is?
	♥ 9:50am Trouble: americanah! it's on the table by my bed right now!! i adore chimamanda ngozi adiche!!! good suggestion
	9:50am doca: @Fernando: I'm from Porto Alegre and I'm pretty sure that if I'm not the only WFMU listener here I'm the first one. I've converted some of my friends, but none took WFMU so seriously as me
	9:52am doca: I'm reading the first book on Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy, if anyone is interested on a sci-fi suggestion
	♥ 9:53am Trouble: full confession kwhitehead: my husband is a public librarian. BUT that said i adored my local library before and after i met/married him. i can't afford to buy all the books i read, and I don't want to own them all afterwards. best of all is discovering things by just browsing the stacks
	♥ 9:54am Marcel M: I'm the opposite, I always buy books and I keep them on my shelves and take them down and gaze at them and re read passages and caress them lovingly.
	9:55am doca: I like how WFMU is fond of public libraries, there three or four listeners to whom I've already spoke who work on them
	9:55am kwhitehead: Ha, so nice to hear that.
	9:55am bibi: hi troubles. give it to me, stevie, give it to me.
	9:57am βrian: Vive les bibliothèquaires !
	9:57am bibi: my friends always laugh at me when i say my dream work would be somewhere between gardener & librarian. pff.
	9:57am Van in DC: Good morning Trouble
	9:58am robyn: weirdly this sounds a little like ryuichi sakamoto to me. what a collaboration that could be!
	♥ 9:59am Priscilla: Librarian/doggie daycare = ideal job
	♥ 10:00am Trouble: interview b/w zadie smith & chimamanda ngozi adiche: i posted this of the FB page, but for those who aren't on that godawful thang: new.livestream.com...
	♥ 10:01am Guido from Cologne: I used to work in a radio Station's sound/music library in the 90ies. Weird but comfortable years. And I could carry away a lot of stuff from the poison bins.
	♥ 10:03am Andrew Waterloo: This Stevie Wonder track is very Wow.. and Wow in many different ways.
	10:06am kwhitehead: Man, I love that self deprecating line Edwyn Collins lays down at the end of this song "I'll never be man enough for you." Us librarian's can relate.
	10:07am bibi: yes, librarian doesnt look like a very manly job, that's why being half time gardener helps.
	♥ 10:07am Brian in UK: @trouble totally with you on book ownership. Used to work in a bookshop years ago. Libraries rool. Elias Canetti who wrote 'Auto da Fe' and won the Nobel Prize for Lit was a librarian. Just saying.
	10:08am βrian: "Us librarians?" I think you failed the shibboleth test, yo.
	♥ 10:08am Guido from Cologne: Edwyn Collins had this massive hit right when i was working in the archives ...
	10:08am doca: Borges was a librarian, too.
	10:09am kwhitehead: Touche' Brian.
	10:09am bibi: there s some stereolab in this lebon, i love it.
	10:10am robyn: of course i would hear blasphemy on this listener supported heathen radio station
	♥ 10:12am Brian in UK: What was that Bette Midler line about ...'I'm a librarian really'
	10:13am Chris from DC: @doca, big Borges fan myself.
	♥ 10:14am Ken From Hyde Park: Cheers for public libraries. Here, it's nice in that the libraries in a four or five county area are connected online. You can order a book (or DVD, tape, etc.) that any of them have and in a couple days, it appears at your local library for pick-up.
	10:15am dc pat: waitwaitwaitwait! Can we redo the first set again?? There's a bunch of good stuff in there I missed.
	♥ 10:17am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Trouble + all!
	♥ 10:21am Sem Chumbo: No foolin', Trouble, pleasing selection of spins again this am:) Good morning, all.
	♥ 10:22am Adrian in London: I've been having a book purge lately. I've gone through the ones that have been sitting on my shelves for years and decided whetherI'd read them again or whether I even liked the author any more; your tastes change, after all. John irving didn't survive the cull; Anne Tyler did. I just reread A Patchwork Planet and it is pretty much perfect.
	♥ 10:28am Greg from Bloomfield: bccls.org all the way!
	10:29am ~L: http://project.wnyc.org/christie/
	10:29am SueAdynamo: No. it IS a sad saga. What would a library benefit from not joining the consortium?
	10:30am Sam: I've never had the experience of going to a library and thinking there weren't enough books and that I need one from some other library.
	10:32am sugarwolf: I have a pretty good library system. There are a couple of libraries in the system that seem to carry everything, and I am extra lucky that my home library does not charge for ordering/holds. (Ok, a quarter the other libraries charge is a good deal, too.)
	10:32am Van in DC: I see Sharon will be in studio a little later in the month. Will she be singing at all or just spinning records & talking?
	10:33am sugarwolf: Some of the libraries I got too have used bookshops. I am sort of annoyed that one has a sign saying "Donations: No books older than 5 years! No records!" I mean, I get why, but booooo.
	10:33am SueAdynamo: When you said John Lurie my ovaries jumped.
	10:33am slugluv1313: hi Trouble and listeners! i work at the Hoboken library, which i love! and i know what you mean, WEIRD how Jersey City (and also Union City and West New York, both of which have FANTASTIC libraries themselves!) are not part of the network :( perhaps you can contact the new Mayor of Jersey City? he seems to be wanting to make a lot of POSITIVE changes! :) YAY READING!!! YAY LIBRARIES!!! :)
	10:35am sugarwolf: I have to donate some books soon. I have so many :(
	10:36am slugluv1313: @ sugarwolf -- old books are TREASURES -- i have a bunch from the 1940s (some older, some newer) that belonged to my Mom -- she took such good care of them! numbered them too :) i have to donate too -- does anyone know of places that DO take donations? oddly enough, a lot of libraries do NOT take donations!
	10:42am adam_nspy: Thanks for playing Dva!
	♥ 10:43am Guido from Cologne: Dva: Is it better to get the clear vinyl or the CD with 19 Piostcards? dva2.bandcamp.com...
	10:46am blee: The Oceanside Friends of the Library takes donations of all kinds. I've found books printed in 1880's for sale. I doubt you would want to pay shipping to California though.
	10:48am doca: DVA vinyl buyers from the northern half of the world: don't buy them all! leave some for the inhabitants of your brother hemisphere. I'm waiting a little bit to buy it
	10:49am slugluv1313: @ blee --- THANK YOU!!!! you are right, shipping costs would kill me! BUT i am SO GLAD to know that there ARE places out there that still take book donations!!! :)
	10:49am Chris from DC: Have to dig out that Electroscope album sometime. Great stuff.
	10:54am glenn: frankie knuckles died.
	♥ 10:54am Guido from Cologne: Buying Angel Olsens debut EP was an argument against vinyl: Mint copy crackling like mad for € 15,-
	10:56am ghostofpeterfalk: Hi Trouble - thank you for such a wonderful, wonderful programme!!! This is the kind of radio I've always wanted! Recently discovered you by way of my oldest friend in Newcastle, I am in West Yorkshire. Just wanted to say how disappointed I was to hear that Cate Le Bon's 'People' are so useless. Like you I am a massive fan and would've loved to hear her on your show. Hard to fathom these folk sometimes. Always keep the books you love I say.Thanks again for the music you play and this fantastic station!!!
	♥ 11:00am Guido from Cologne: billie - tower -joao : daring mix, but works!
	11:05am Margers(Mark): Sing Sing prison is not in Rockland County! It is in the village of Ossining in Westchester County.
	11:05am Pete the Flcker: Sing-Sing is in Westchester County (Ossining I believe) Rockland Psychiatric Hospital is an equally scary place, is in Rockland
	11:06am blee: @slugluv You are most welcome. The Friends of the Library is interesting. They are not part of the library. They get some old semi damaged books from the actual city library, but most are from public donation. Old LPs, Vhs, tapes and CDs are also accepted and sold.
	♥ 11:07am Brian in UK: @trouble you mentioned prisons and books. Well over here this government knows how to deal with that sort of thing. www.bbc.co.uk...
	11:08am AndrewC.: Tiny Ruins is a kiwi. Born in the UK though I believe.
	11:09am SueAdynamo: what is the name of that book again?
	11:10am steve: i've watched every video of that woman on Youtube and consensus appears to be chee-AH-nee.
	♥ 11:10am stefica: and do you know that the village of Ossining changed its name to Ossining from Sing Sing in order to distance itself from the prison?
	♥ 11:11am Brian in UK: The verb Oss means to have the ability to change.
	11:12am duke: This is getting to be quite an erudite place. Yesterday, it was philosophy on Liz's show. Today books. Tomorrow, who knows? The large scale structure of the cosmos? Too bad I have to work. I can't keep up with discussions.
	11:13am SueAdynamo: Nevermind: googled "snow, boy, novel" and found it.
	11:13am ~L: My public library just joined www.bccls.org and it took two years and fundraising to make it happen. "1 library card... 75 libraries" is their motto. I get my books much faster now.
	♥ 11:15am Brian in UK: You ossify in Sing Sing and oscillate in Ossining.
	11:18am bibi: yep duke, you are right, lets talk multiverse. or talking renting philosophical books about multiverse.
	11:20am slugluv1313: @ blee -- WOW! sounds like Heaven! :)
	♥ 11:23am Tome: oh oh so love this song !!!
	11:28am Mike Sin: Enjoying the show today, Trouble, and that ain't no joke!
	11:31am Liz B.: I guess I never thought too hard about Sing Sing vs Ossining! Face in palm...
	♥ 11:40am Trouble: thanks everybody for being such super commenters today, and for all the kind words
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: o yeah and sharon van etten is live here on april 29. playing records and chatting
	11:43am bibi: @mike, i love the way english speakers abuse double negatives.
	♥ 11:45am mariano: @bibi: a very common feature of French and other Romance languages (je n'ai rien, no tengo nada, etc).
	11:47am hamburger: ad block for chrome yo - helps a bit / no more youtube ads
	11:47am robyn: re: FB. i started to spend more time on tumblr. it's much more likely you'll read interesting, thoughtful stuff there than on FB. and it's great for pictures and videos! i can't say i've seen a buzzfeed quiz on there yet, either.
	11:48am bobdoesthings: adblock + noscript + ghostery ad-ons to firefox or chrome.. block it all!!
	11:50am Magda: Good to know. Now I know how to reduce the amount of advertising everywhere. Thanks everyone.
	♥ 11:50am Trouble: a link to the This is the Modern World facebook page www.facebook.com...
	11:53am bobdoesthings: noscript takes a bit of finnicking and tech know-how..it blocks javascript from running.. so if you need to use something you need to grant permission.. can be annoying and ghostery is a tracking blocker, keeps trackers off you, but also requires a bit of finesse... unless you just block all (but can get in the way of google features and whatnot..)
	11:54am blee: The Slits!!!!
	11:54am bobdoesthings: also use duckduckgo for searching instead of google - donttrack.us
	♥ 11:55am Guido from Cologne: Just my favourite Slits song! Javascript disfunctioning will defunkt a lot of sites nowadays! I'm web-developer and i try to avoid unnesscary Javascript. Have to finish now! Enjoyed the show! CU next week!
	11:56am Van in DC: Okay thanks for kind of answering my Sharon question
	11:57am robyn: wow i thought this was broadcast for a sec. might have to take a closer look at janelle monae...
	♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: Never have I not seen nothing like it. Nice one trouble.
	♥ 11:59am Mike East: I did backline for janelle monae. she puts on a good show
	2:46pm Michael: especially awesome show!
	♥ 4:50pm Trouble: today's art is by anne george! sorry i forgot to do this earlier...

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.

	♥ 10:12am Brian in UK: What was that Bette Midler line about ...'I'm a librarian really'
	10:13am Chris from DC: @doca, big Borges fan myself.
	♥ 10:14am Ken From Hyde Park: Cheers for public libraries. Here, it's nice in that the libraries in a four or five county area are connected online. You can order a book (or DVD, tape, etc.) that any of them have and in a couple days, it appears at your local library for pick-up.
	10:15am dc pat: waitwaitwaitwait! Can we redo the first set again?? There's a bunch of good stuff in there I missed.
	♥ 10:17am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Trouble + all!
	♥ 10:21am Sem Chumbo: No foolin', Trouble, pleasing selection of spins again this am:) Good morning, all.
	♥ 10:22am Adrian in London: I've been having a book purge lately. I've gone through the ones that have been sitting on my shelves for years and decided whetherI'd read them again or whether I even liked the author any more; your tastes change, after all. John irving didn't survive the cull; Anne Tyler did. I just reread A Patchwork Planet and it is pretty much perfect.
	♥ 10:28am Greg from Bloomfield: bccls.org all the way!
	10:29am ~L: http://project.wnyc.org/christie/
	10:29am SueAdynamo: No. it IS a sad saga. What would a library benefit from not joining the consortium?
	10:30am Sam: I've never had the experience of going to a library and thinking there weren't enough books and that I need one from some other library.
	10:32am sugarwolf: I have a pretty good library system. There are a couple of libraries in the system that seem to carry everything, and I am extra lucky that my home library does not charge for ordering/holds. (Ok, a quarter the other libraries charge is a good deal, too.)
	10:32am Van in DC: I see Sharon will be in studio a little later in the month. Will she be singing at all or just spinning records & talking?
	10:33am sugarwolf: Some of the libraries I got too have used bookshops. I am sort of annoyed that one has a sign saying "Donations: No books older than 5 years! No records!" I mean, I get why, but booooo.
	10:33am SueAdynamo: When you said John Lurie my ovaries jumped.
	10:33am slugluv1313: hi Trouble and listeners! i work at the Hoboken library, which i love! and i know what you mean, WEIRD how Jersey City (and also Union City and West New York, both of which have FANTASTIC libraries themselves!) are not part of the network :( perhaps you can contact the new Mayor of Jersey City? he seems to be wanting to make a lot of POSITIVE changes! :) YAY READING!!! YAY LIBRARIES!!! :)
	10:35am sugarwolf: I have to donate some books soon. I have so many :(
	10:36am slugluv1313: @ sugarwolf -- old books are TREASURES -- i have a bunch from the 1940s (some older, some newer) that belonged to my Mom -- she took such good care of them! numbered them too :) i have to donate too -- does anyone know of places that DO take donations? oddly enough, a lot of libraries do NOT take donations!
	10:42am adam_nspy: Thanks for playing Dva!
	♥ 10:43am Guido from Cologne: Dva: Is it better to get the clear vinyl or the CD with 19 Piostcards? dva2.bandcamp.com...
	10:46am blee: The Oceanside Friends of the Library takes donations of all kinds. I've found books printed in 1880's for sale. I doubt you would want to pay shipping to California though.
	10:48am doca: DVA vinyl buyers from the northern half of the world: don't buy them all! leave some for the inhabitants of your brother hemisphere. I'm waiting a little bit to buy it
	10:49am slugluv1313: @ blee --- THANK YOU!!!! you are right, shipping costs would kill me! BUT i am SO GLAD to know that there ARE places out there that still take book donations!!! :)
	10:49am Chris from DC: Have to dig out that Electroscope album sometime. Great stuff.
	10:54am glenn: frankie knuckles died.
	♥ 10:54am Guido from Cologne: Buying Angel Olsens debut EP was an argument against vinyl: Mint copy crackling like mad for € 15,-
	10:56am ghostofpeterfalk: Hi Trouble - thank you for such a wonderful, wonderful programme!!! This is the kind of radio I've always wanted! Recently discovered you by way of my oldest friend in Newcastle, I am in West Yorkshire. Just wanted to say how disappointed I was to hear that Cate Le Bon's 'People' are so useless. Like you I am a massive fan and would've loved to hear her on your show. Hard to fathom these folk sometimes. Always keep the books you love I say.Thanks again for the music you play and this fantastic station!!!
	♥ 11:00am Guido from Cologne: billie - tower -joao : daring mix, but works!
	11:05am Margers(Mark): Sing Sing prison is not in Rockland County! It is in the village of Ossining in Westchester County.
	11:05am Pete the Flcker: Sing-Sing is in Westchester County (Ossining I believe) Rockland Psychiatric Hospital is an equally scary place, is in Rockland
	11:06am blee: @slugluv You are most welcome. The Friends of the Library is interesting. They are not part of the library. They get some old semi damaged books from the actual city library, but most are from public donation. Old LPs, Vhs, tapes and CDs are also accepted and sold.
	♥ 11:07am Brian in UK: @trouble you mentioned prisons and books. Well over here this government knows how to deal with that sort of thing. www.bbc.co.uk...
	11:08am AndrewC.: Tiny Ruins is a kiwi. Born in the UK though I believe.
	11:09am SueAdynamo: what is the name of that book again?
	11:10am steve: i've watched every video of that woman on Youtube and consensus appears to be chee-AH-nee.
	♥ 11:10am stefica: and do you know that the village of Ossining changed its name to Ossining from Sing Sing in order to distance itself from the prison?
	♥ 11:11am Brian in UK: The verb Oss means to have the ability to change.
	11:12am duke: This is getting to be quite an erudite place. Yesterday, it was philosophy on Liz's show. Today books. Tomorrow, who knows? The large scale structure of the cosmos? Too bad I have to work. I can't keep up with discussions.
	11:13am SueAdynamo: Nevermind: googled "snow, boy, novel" and found it.
	11:13am ~L: My public library just joined www.bccls.org and it took two years and fundraising to make it happen. "1 library card... 75 libraries" is their motto. I get my books much faster now.
	♥ 11:15am Brian in UK: You ossify in Sing Sing and oscillate in Ossining.
	11:18am bibi: yep duke, you are right, lets talk multiverse. or talking renting philosophical books about multiverse.
	11:20am slugluv1313: @ blee -- WOW! sounds like Heaven! :)
	♥ 11:23am Tome: oh oh so love this song !!!
	11:28am Mike Sin: Enjoying the show today, Trouble, and that ain't no joke!
	11:31am Liz B.: I guess I never thought too hard about Sing Sing vs Ossining! Face in palm...
	♥ 11:40am Trouble: thanks everybody for being such super commenters today, and for all the kind words
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: o yeah and sharon van etten is live here on april 29. playing records and chatting
	11:43am bibi: @mike, i love the way english speakers abuse double negatives.
	♥ 11:45am mariano: @bibi: a very common feature of French and other Romance languages (je n'ai rien, no tengo nada, etc).
	11:47am hamburger: ad block for chrome yo - helps a bit / no more youtube ads
	11:47am robyn: re: FB. i started to spend more time on tumblr. it's much more likely you'll read interesting, thoughtful stuff there than on FB. and it's great for pictures and videos! i can't say i've seen a buzzfeed quiz on there yet, either.
	11:48am bobdoesthings: adblock + noscript + ghostery ad-ons to firefox or chrome.. block it all!!
	11:50am Magda: Good to know. Now I know how to reduce the amount of advertising everywhere. Thanks everyone.
	♥ 11:50am Trouble: a link to the This is the Modern World facebook page www.facebook.com...
	11:53am bobdoesthings: noscript takes a bit of finnicking and tech know-how..it blocks javascript from running.. so if you need to use something you need to grant permission.. can be annoying and ghostery is a tracking blocker, keeps trackers off you, but also requires a bit of finesse... unless you just block all (but can get in the way of google features and whatnot..)
	11:54am blee: The Slits!!!!
	11:54am bobdoesthings: also use duckduckgo for searching instead of google - donttrack.us
	♥ 11:55am Guido from Cologne: Just my favourite Slits song! Javascript disfunctioning will defunkt a lot of sites nowadays! I'm web-developer and i try to avoid unnesscary Javascript. Have to finish now! Enjoyed the show! CU next week!
	11:56am Van in DC: Okay thanks for kind of answering my Sharon question
	11:57am robyn: wow i thought this was broadcast for a sec. might have to take a closer look at janelle monae...
	♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: Never have I not seen nothing like it. Nice one trouble.
	♥ 11:59am Mike East: I did backline for janelle monae. she puts on a good show
	2:46pm Michael: especially awesome show!
	♥ 4:50pm Trouble: today's art is by anne george! sorry i forgot to do this earlier...
