	♥ 9:34am holland oats: me too pat. fuck it.
	9:35am Alfred Ron Richards: Met JR a few times. Always refers to himself as "Jonathan."
	9:36am dc pat: he's a national treasure
	♥ 9:36am Mike East: we've been tricked to think our survival depends on having a computer in your pocket.
	9:37am KP: My frontal lobe is in that thing
	9:37am Parq: Alfred, one of those guys who always refers to himself in the third person, like Bob Dole?

	9:46am Fernando M P: I'm into Trouble this morning. Great show!
	9:46am KP: Great track
	9:49am Fred R: "Comme a la Radio"... Reminds me of WFMU every saturday night at midnight in the early 1980's... Was the start of Raymond Franks show.
	♥ 9:49am Priscilla: These outfits are kind of blowing me away: www.nytimes.com...
	9:51am dc pat: hey, speaking of gardening...anybody have tricks to keep fucking squirrels out of my growing boxes? I'm about to take a sling shot to them--just dug up my carrots looking for god knows what! HATE them. I use cayenne pepper which works pretty well but you have to apply it every other day...
	9:52am KP: bonjour tristesse cover tres bien
	9:54am adam_nspy: The guitar track reminds me of Animal Hospital. I dig this.
	♥ 9:54am Trouble: i heard moth balls! but who wants to put moth balls in with the growing stuff. how about moth balls in a net bag hung form the box?
	♥ 9:55am Trouble: priscilla those pics are insane. we are soooo enamored with glitz and the royalty of $ in our times. sort of like how hollywood was a balm for the earlier part of this century, the depression, world war I, II etc
	♥ 9:57am Scott McDowell: This is just a great set of radio, oh yeah!
	9:57am kurts: @dc pat...google homemade squirrel repellent..you make a super hot pepper spray..works for me...squirrels are my garden enemies
	9:58am ghostofpeterfalk: Hello Trouble and everyone. Great to see you played a track from the great new Damon Albarn album. I've been listening to it all weekend. Looking forward to Kevin Morby.
	10:00am dc pat: moth balls eh? thanks trouble, kurts. Maybe I'll try the pepper spray. Can I spray it directly into their stupid mouths?? Bastards! And to think I use to defend those guys as beautiful acrobats. Everyone else was right--just fuzzy rats.
	10:01am βrian: Moth balls are toxic as hell.
	♥ 10:01am Priscilla: We have to get a prom dress for my daughter, and I am so ill-equipped in every way.
	10:02am kurts: what to do with squirrels...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Ya6z-NlDo
	10:03am βrian: I had to put bird netting over a patch newly seeded topsoil. That seemed to keep them from digging.
	10:04am βrian: Is that the evil squirrel-launch video? Tempting but ...
	10:04am dc pat: yeah, that's more like it. hurting them is a bonus. (I jus keeding) T
	10:05am kurts: never try and hurt them but the launching is funny
	10:05am kwhitehead: Hey all: Anybody see that Onyeabor "Atomic Bomb" show at BAM last weekend? It was one of the most joyful things I've ever witnessed. So very very good.
	10:06am βrian: The reminds me of the axiom: never eat at a restaurant of which there is more than one.
	10:09am chris: indigo bunting
	10:09am dc pat: Indigo bunging maybe--they're only bright blue in the sun light
	10:09am ?: Indigo bunting?
	♥ 10:10am common: my partner found a navy blue bird (dead) that she had never seen. she brought it home and put it in our freezer to give to her friend a taxidermist. no idea what kinda bird it is. strange.
	10:10am dc pat: *bunting..
	10:11am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: An Indigo Bunting? A common grackle? AMNH has started up it's bird walks in Central Park again, which coincidentally happens on Tuesdays at noon. Here's a list from last week:Subject: eBird Report - Central Park, Central Park, New York, US-NY Apr 29, 2014 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Protocol: Traveling 2.0 mile(s) 31 species Canada Goose 4 Mallard 10 Northern Shoveler 4 Double-crested Cormorant 4 Ring-billed Gull 1 Herring Gull 5 Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) 20 Mourning Dove 25 Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 Downy Woodpecker 1 Northern Flicker 7 Warbling Vireo 1 Blue Jay 20 Northern Rough-winged Swallow 1 Barn Swallow 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 8 Hermit Thrush 1 American Robin 25 Northern Waterthrush 2 Black-and-white Warbler 3 Common Yellowthroat 1 Yellow Warbler 1 Palm Warbler 10 Yellow-rumped Warbler 15 Prairie Warbler 2 Song Sparrow 3 White-throated Sparrow 30 Northern Cardinal 6 Common Grackle 30 American Goldfinch 1 House Sparrow 40
	10:12am Birdlands: TROUBLE, sounds like a Stellars Jay.
	10:13am βrian: Oh no, you've got Jennique started!
	10:13am dc pat: wow, good list ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ. I'm in a big year competition with my brother. I just took a trip to Costa Rica and saw about 40 species I'd never seen before.
	♥ 10:13am Guido from Cologne: @trouble just see: OTTP PREMINGER production? .... i don't know if you said that ... "Bonjour Tristesse" cover must be a design by Saul Bass . He's one of the best in soundtrack packaging and in title animation (classic Rreminger, Stanley Donen, Hitchcock).
	10:15am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @dc pat: Costa Rica is probably one of the best places on earth to go birding. I have been there several times. Did you see a resplendent quetzal?
	10:16am Birdlands: Jennique, Have you seen the Cedar Waxwings this year ?
	10:16am bibi: hey, one american goldfinch ! probably a wfmu listener.
	♥ 10:16am Guido from Cologne: Saul Bass Movie Posters: www.saulbassposterarchive.com...
	10:17am dc pat: My wife and kids saw a quetzal while ziplining...I was in the bar. One of the most impressive photos I got was the Fiery-billed Aracari. Really liked the Scarlet-rumped Tanager. They looked fake.
	10:17am Robert: Hope you feel better soon, DJT. I too have been suffering the past several days. It's tree season, which is said to be both late & bad this year from all the rain. I've had flies in the house lately too.
	10:17am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Not yet, but I am limited to Central Park as of now. Those birds have such cool looking faces. They look like bandits.
	10:18am chris: I was just there in Jan. CR is prbly my favorite place I have ever been to. Lots of birds hung out where I was based: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXYr_ud7WZM
	10:19am βrian: Cedar Waxwings are just about my favorite. They pass through the isthmus pretty quickly and pose for us while they clean out our serviceberry bushes. Then they're gone.
	10:19am dc pat: my neighbor has a holly tree where the waxwings congregate. Waiting for them to show up.
	10:19am r i s k y: Goodmorning Trouble! Thank you, for always bolstering my tuesday! Sincerely and forever indebted to you, Risky
	10:19am bibi: fun how peaking lights style goes lighter and lighter nowadays. i really liked their heavy bass era though.
	10:20am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Guido: I am huge fan of Saul Bass. Thanks for posting. @dc pat: I did the zip line thing but was too terrified to see anything. You get big props for hanging out at the bar.
	10:20am Birdlands: Waxwings are a favorite. I love all the bandits.... Shrikes too and if you see them catching and storing food on Acacia thorns you are a lucky dog indeed !
	10:20am chris: Cedar Waxies a few weeks before I went to Costa Rica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeDzs_NFbao
	10:21am dc pat: crazy hummingbirds too. yeah, I wasn't going near those zip lines. Mrs. dc pat almost had a heart attack.
	10:22am robyn: love today's art. love peaking lights
	10:22am Robert: Been taking loratidine, the non-sedating 24 hr. antihistamine (generic for Claritin). Still bad enough last night that I needed a blow of albuterol (bronchodilator). I recommend the loratidine, although its one side effect is dryness of the mouth & throat, which might impair your voice on air, but since you won't be on again for a week.... Rite Aid has a cheap, mouth-dissolving loratidine free base 10 mg.
	10:23am HEAT: My allergies are wild right now, too. I have a new thing this time around where my chest feels real tight and painful, which is a beautiful feeling.
	10:23am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Oh the hummingbirds of Costa Rica. sigh I went for a tour in the St Helena cloud forest wearing a bright red shirt. A hummingbird flew up to my chest and hovered there, thinking I was a flower. Priceless.
	♥ 10:24am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Trouble + Troubled Listeners!
	10:24am Birdlands: Chris, A great video thanks, did you take it ? You can identify Cedar Waxwing trees just by looking at the spots on the ground :)
	10:27am dc pat: those violet saberwings are amazing. great videos chris.
	10:27am chris: Glad u like Birdlands. Yea I am basically addicted to filming wildlife. Here is another of Waxwings from a few weeks earlier at the same spot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki4zk4UtTSw
	10:27am robyn: @Robert @HEAT jumping into the allergy conversation... i take generic claritin throughout the spring and it usually does the trick...i also had to supplement with albuterol earlier this spring for the first time. had a tight feeling in my chest which i thought was anxiety or something worse...the albuterol cleared it up. definitely recommend you check it out @HEAT
	10:28am Cube Occupant: dc pat/jennique/chris: my soon-to-be wife and I want to do a Costa-Rican honeymoon and are both terrified of heights. there's still plenty of boids to be seen from terra firma, yes?
	10:30am dc pat: @Cube, oh hell yeah. Don't worry about that. All you have to do is look up and you'll see amazing stuff.
	10:30am chris: Boids as in Boa Constrictors?
	10:30am Birdlands: Chris, Another great one ! And it feels a bit on the chilli side. I take photos when I think about especially when I was living in the mountains mountain biking. Can you post photos on this board ?
	10:30am HEAT: @robyn Thanks!! I will go pick some up after work. I hear you on the tight feeling in chest. I am happy to hear about something that will make that feeling dissipate.
	10:31am dc pat: get some high-power binocs though or super-zoom camera.
	10:33am Faye: hai2u trouble B)
	10:34am dc pat: FAYE!
	10:34am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Cube Occupant: What part of Costa Rica will you visit? Monteverde is where I saw lots of great birds in the rain forest. But down on the coast I saw scarlet macaws. Loads of great animals to see just standing on the ground. A guided tour is great because I would have missed a lot.
	10:34am Faye: yo dcp
	10:35am dc pat: Oh yeah, I saw scarlet macaws flying over rt 27 (or whatever road we were on). We had a guide at Manuel Antonio, pointed out all kinda of stuff.
	10:36am HEAT: hi faye!!!
	10:36am robyn: @HEAT np! just an FYI you'll need a prescription for that.
	10:38am Faye: hi HEAT!!
	♥ 10:39am Brian in UK: Hello trouble, here is an interview from last week with Hollie Cook. www.independent.co.uk... Could you ask Kevin if he is to tour the UK, por favor?
	♥ 10:40am Trouble: vintage priscilla go vintage!!!
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: thanks brian in UK!
	10:41am HEAT: @robyn ooooh thanks
	10:42am Cube Occupant: Thanks all for info! no idea where yet. Wedding in October; honeymoon likely to be in Feb/March after the CR rainy season. Or later if I get laid off before then....
	♥ 10:43am Priscilla: Yes, vintage sounds good!
	10:44am KP: Heat, just dont let it effect your voice.
	10:46am chris: Cube: you may want to consider sticking to the eastern side if you are going in the dry season. Probably will see more life
	10:46am Cheri Pi: FELT!
	10:46am Chris from DC: Felt!
	10:47am Faye: WOW Kevin then Isobell then Felt!! <3
	♥ 10:47am common: i member this un!
	10:47am HEAT: @KP if my voice goes, I will have to get one of those talk boxes to keep it interesting
	♥ 10:49am Trouble: xo 2 u faye
	10:50am ?: Howdy folks, looking forward to the kevin morby set... Thanks trouble!
	10:51am Cube Occupant: thx chris!
	10:54am DeemerDave: Always happy to hear "la vie en rose"
	10:54am KP: That would be interesting, Heat.
	10:54am dc pat: I dunno, I was there in April and hung out mostly on the Pacific side, and in cloud forest and I saw a ton of stuff.
	10:55am chris: I went to Puerto Viejo one afternoon and it seemed like a sweet vacation spot with gorgeous beach and some real nice nature reserves. I hope to be going back there with the wife who is more into "vacationing" than ecotourism
	10:55am chris: good to know DC
	10:58am dc pat: beach at the Manuel Antonio preserve was unbelievable.
	10:58am dc pat: I'm not big on the breathy folky singers but this tiny ruins is working for me.
	10:59am Cube Occupant: So much great info! So much great music! Head exploding!
	♥ 11:01am Priscilla: @DeemerDave: Is that a Devo hat? That might keep my head from exploding.
	11:01am dc pat: wow, liking this Cousins a lot.
	11:02am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I've been on both coasts of Costa Rica and really liked Puerto Viejo and the Caribbean side. It's harder to get to, though. Manuel Antonio on the Pacific is closer to San Jose and laid back too. Basically you can't go wrong. The cloud forest is well worth it. I've been to the Nicoya Peninsula and the Osa Peninsula. Both are great but take a while to get to. If you're going for the first time I'd say go to Monteverde and Manuel Antonio.
	11:02am KP: I meant, it's always interesting Heat.
	11:02am DeemerDave: Technically, it is an "energy dome". but the Devo reference is accurate.
	11:03am KP: Especially since I first hear Kevin Morby, among others, on your show.
	♥ 11:03am Planet Tyler: Jesus Mackeral, Felt! Awesome. I saw their very last show in London :(
	11:03am dc pat: I agree with ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ, that's what I did plus Arenal but we never saw the volcano because of clouds.
	♥ 11:04am Priscilla: I could use an energy dome!
	11:04am dc pat: I had fun driving the rental car around too. People told me the roads sucked but that's not true anymore, they're great. You'll hit dirt roads in the mountains but that's fun too.
	11:06am HEAT: YESSSSSSSSSSS
	11:07am PKNY: @Cube Occupant - Late pass on the CR convo. I stayed at the Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Hotel for part of my honeymoon, and saw plenty of birds on their grounds. We actually had a guided tour, so someone there showed us tricks on how to pick out birds in the trees. Also, lots of hummingbirds on site, so crazy to have them fly right up to your face and stop on a dime and just hover. Here's a link to some info on the Villa Blanca: www.booking.com... I've been to CR twice, and I can't wait to go back.
	11:07am bibi: this is the modern costa rica.
	11:08am DeemerDave: Priscilla: Unfortunately mine is broken
	11:08am KP: Awesome sound!
	11:11am KP: Love a solo voice and an electric guitar
	11:12am bobdoesthings: prohibition got repealed
	11:13am Punt King: Missed the show at Rough Trade so this is exciting to hear the new ones. Thanks WFMU and thanks Trouble.
	11:13am KP: Miles ...
	♥ 11:13am Greg from Bloomfield: Kinda has a Greg Cartwright quality...
	11:13am SheWolf: I'm loving this set Trouble!
	11:14am bobdoesthings: Do you think in the UK this song is called Kilometers?
	11:14am KP: God this song gets me
	11:17am HEAT: lol @bobdoesthings
	11:18am KP: Uk uses miles
	11:18am Bluesman: Really enjoying the Kevin Morby set! Great stuff! Hearing him for the first time now. He reminds me of the great Bill Fay.
	11:18am bobdoesthings: @kp.. ehh what do I know.
	11:20am dc pat: wow. how did I not know UK still uses miles. What a bunch of idiots! ...oh.
	11:23am HEAT: I thought it was kilometers too hehe
	11:23am KP: England is obstinate. Still uses pounds.
	11:23am SmokinJ: Wonderful happenings here! :)
	11:24am HEAT: Does anyone know if Kevin Morby is touring this summer?
	♥ 11:25am Whosondephone: OH YEAH!!!
	11:25am KP: You're welcome!
	11:26am bobdoesthings: KP educating us all.. -- ob·sti·nate ˈäbstənit/ adjective adjective: obstinate stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or chosen course of action, despite attempts to persuade one to do so.
	11:26am KP: I thought England used km was until third trip there when we did a lot of driving. BTW they have powerful cars and drive extremely fast
	11:28am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I only knew that the UK uses miles because I watch Top Gear.
	♥ 11:29am Whosondephone: YES!
	11:30am r i s k y: What movie?
	11:31am ghostofpeterfalk: The UK thought about changing to kilometres in the 60's, but then The Who were about to release I Can See For Miles and put a stop to things right there and then, as it didn't have the same ring to it. Pete Townsend has it written in his contract that as long as he shall live the UK will continue with miles a measurement of distance between places....Loved Kevin Morby Trouble and have a copy of Harlem River, the Cate Le Bon collaboration is a favourite, but Sucker in the Void is the stand-out for me. Heard first on this here very show.
	♥ 11:32am Guido from Cologne: @trouble You shouldn't trust Amazon checking prizes! See discogs: www.discogs.com...
	11:32am KP: Heat, according to his Facebook account he played Brooklyn at end of April. That's his last listed date. He's on Twitter, too.
	11:33am KP: And they drive Jag-u-wires.
	11:35am pierre: i'm tuning just now, and this is pleasant Bonjour Trouble
	♥ 11:39am Trouble: bonjour pierre! thanks guido, that price makes more sense...
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: Diva! www.youtube.com... the movie is free tonite at paterson public library: 5:00 pm
	11:42am Raphaël: Nice detuning
	11:42am dc pat: yeah that's the problem..idiots like Townshend and Morby keep writing songs with "miles" in them. We'll never advance like this.
	11:43am robyn: malcolm mclaren - miles and miles of miles davis
	11:45am βrian: I'll bet nobody has ever said, "Oh that Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez!
	11:50am A Better Me: I went and purchased Pulse Emitter.. Soothing
	11:51am ghostofpeterfalk: If Miles had been called Kilometre Davis - the world of jazz and indeed the world in general, would surely have been a sadder and more importantly, less cool place!
	11:52am βrian: ... or if his last name were Long.
	♥ 11:52am Priscilla: Have you seen those Mother's Day presents that look like a giant electric mitten? I think they squeeze your hand.
	11:55am ghostofpeterfalk: Love this Land of Kush tune
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: You are all bonkers.
	♥ 11:57am Brian in UK: Our allotment is measured in poles. Work that one out.
	11:58am bobdoesthings: great show! later trouble
	11:59am KP: Thanks, Trouble!

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.

	♥ 9:34am holland oats: me too pat. fuck it.
	9:35am Alfred Ron Richards: Met JR a few times. Always refers to himself as "Jonathan."
	9:36am dc pat: he's a national treasure
	♥ 9:36am Mike East: we've been tricked to think our survival depends on having a computer in your pocket.
	9:37am KP: My frontal lobe is in that thing
	9:37am Parq: Alfred, one of those guys who always refers to himself in the third person, like Bob Dole?

	9:46am KP: Great track
	9:49am Fred R: "Comme a la Radio"... Reminds me of WFMU every saturday night at midnight in the early 1980's... Was the start of Raymond Franks show.
	♥ 9:49am Priscilla: These outfits are kind of blowing me away: www.nytimes.com...
	9:51am dc pat: hey, speaking of gardening...anybody have tricks to keep fucking squirrels out of my growing boxes? I'm about to take a sling shot to them--just dug up my carrots looking for god knows what! HATE them. I use cayenne pepper which works pretty well but you have to apply it every other day...
	9:52am KP: bonjour tristesse cover tres bien
	9:54am adam_nspy: The guitar track reminds me of Animal Hospital. I dig this.
	♥ 9:54am Trouble: i heard moth balls! but who wants to put moth balls in with the growing stuff. how about moth balls in a net bag hung form the box?
	♥ 9:55am Trouble: priscilla those pics are insane. we are soooo enamored with glitz and the royalty of $ in our times. sort of like how hollywood was a balm for the earlier part of this century, the depression, world war I, II etc
	♥ 9:57am Scott McDowell: This is just a great set of radio, oh yeah!
	9:57am kurts: @dc pat...google homemade squirrel repellent..you make a super hot pepper spray..works for me...squirrels are my garden enemies
	9:58am ghostofpeterfalk: Hello Trouble and everyone. Great to see you played a track from the great new Damon Albarn album. I've been listening to it all weekend. Looking forward to Kevin Morby.
	10:00am dc pat: moth balls eh? thanks trouble, kurts. Maybe I'll try the pepper spray. Can I spray it directly into their stupid mouths?? Bastards! And to think I use to defend those guys as beautiful acrobats. Everyone else was right--just fuzzy rats.
	10:01am βrian: Moth balls are toxic as hell.
	♥ 10:01am Priscilla: We have to get a prom dress for my daughter, and I am so ill-equipped in every way.
	10:02am kurts: what to do with squirrels...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3Ya6z-NlDo
	10:03am βrian: I had to put bird netting over a patch newly seeded topsoil. That seemed to keep them from digging.
	10:04am βrian: Is that the evil squirrel-launch video? Tempting but ...
	10:04am dc pat: yeah, that's more like it. hurting them is a bonus. (I jus keeding) T
	10:05am kurts: never try and hurt them but the launching is funny
	10:05am kwhitehead: Hey all: Anybody see that Onyeabor "Atomic Bomb" show at BAM last weekend? It was one of the most joyful things I've ever witnessed. So very very good.
	10:06am βrian: The reminds me of the axiom: never eat at a restaurant of which there is more than one.
	10:09am chris: indigo bunting
	10:09am dc pat: Indigo bunging maybe--they're only bright blue in the sun light
	10:09am ?: Indigo bunting?
	♥ 10:10am common: my partner found a navy blue bird (dead) that she had never seen. she brought it home and put it in our freezer to give to her friend a taxidermist. no idea what kinda bird it is. strange.
	10:10am dc pat: *bunting..
	10:11am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: An Indigo Bunting? A common grackle? AMNH has started up it's bird walks in Central Park again, which coincidentally happens on Tuesdays at noon. Here's a list from last week:Subject: eBird Report - Central Park, Central Park, New York, US-NY Apr 29, 2014 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Protocol: Traveling 2.0 mile(s) 31 species Canada Goose 4 Mallard 10 Northern Shoveler 4 Double-crested Cormorant 4 Ring-billed Gull 1 Herring Gull 5 Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) 20 Mourning Dove 25 Red-bellied Woodpecker 1 Downy Woodpecker 1 Northern Flicker 7 Warbling Vireo 1 Blue Jay 20 Northern Rough-winged Swallow 1 Barn Swallow 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet 8 Hermit Thrush 1 American Robin 25 Northern Waterthrush 2 Black-and-white Warbler 3 Common Yellowthroat 1 Yellow Warbler 1 Palm Warbler 10 Yellow-rumped Warbler 15 Prairie Warbler 2 Song Sparrow 3 White-throated Sparrow 30 Northern Cardinal 6 Common Grackle 30 American Goldfinch 1 House Sparrow 40
	10:12am Birdlands: TROUBLE, sounds like a Stellars Jay.
	10:13am βrian: Oh no, you've got Jennique started!
	10:13am dc pat: wow, good list ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ. I'm in a big year competition with my brother. I just took a trip to Costa Rica and saw about 40 species I'd never seen before.
	♥ 10:13am Guido from Cologne: @trouble just see: OTTP PREMINGER production? .... i don't know if you said that ... "Bonjour Tristesse" cover must be a design by Saul Bass . He's one of the best in soundtrack packaging and in title animation (classic Rreminger, Stanley Donen, Hitchcock).
	10:15am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @dc pat: Costa Rica is probably one of the best places on earth to go birding. I have been there several times. Did you see a resplendent quetzal?
	10:16am Birdlands: Jennique, Have you seen the Cedar Waxwings this year ?
	10:16am bibi: hey, one american goldfinch ! probably a wfmu listener.
	♥ 10:16am Guido from Cologne: Saul Bass Movie Posters: www.saulbassposterarchive.com...
	10:17am dc pat: My wife and kids saw a quetzal while ziplining...I was in the bar. One of the most impressive photos I got was the Fiery-billed Aracari. Really liked the Scarlet-rumped Tanager. They looked fake.
	10:17am Robert: Hope you feel better soon, DJT. I too have been suffering the past several days. It's tree season, which is said to be both late & bad this year from all the rain. I've had flies in the house lately too.
	10:17am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Not yet, but I am limited to Central Park as of now. Those birds have such cool looking faces. They look like bandits.
	10:18am chris: I was just there in Jan. CR is prbly my favorite place I have ever been to. Lots of birds hung out where I was based: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXYr_ud7WZM
	10:19am βrian: Cedar Waxwings are just about my favorite. They pass through the isthmus pretty quickly and pose for us while they clean out our serviceberry bushes. Then they're gone.
	10:19am dc pat: my neighbor has a holly tree where the waxwings congregate. Waiting for them to show up.
	10:19am r i s k y: Goodmorning Trouble! Thank you, for always bolstering my tuesday! Sincerely and forever indebted to you, Risky
	10:19am bibi: fun how peaking lights style goes lighter and lighter nowadays. i really liked their heavy bass era though.
	10:20am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Guido: I am huge fan of Saul Bass. Thanks for posting. @dc pat: I did the zip line thing but was too terrified to see anything. You get big props for hanging out at the bar.
	10:20am Birdlands: Waxwings are a favorite. I love all the bandits.... Shrikes too and if you see them catching and storing food on Acacia thorns you are a lucky dog indeed !
	10:20am chris: Cedar Waxies a few weeks before I went to Costa Rica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeDzs_NFbao
	10:21am dc pat: crazy hummingbirds too. yeah, I wasn't going near those zip lines. Mrs. dc pat almost had a heart attack.
	10:22am robyn: love today's art. love peaking lights
	10:22am Robert: Been taking loratidine, the non-sedating 24 hr. antihistamine (generic for Claritin). Still bad enough last night that I needed a blow of albuterol (bronchodilator). I recommend the loratidine, although its one side effect is dryness of the mouth & throat, which might impair your voice on air, but since you won't be on again for a week.... Rite Aid has a cheap, mouth-dissolving loratidine free base 10 mg.
	10:23am HEAT: My allergies are wild right now, too. I have a new thing this time around where my chest feels real tight and painful, which is a beautiful feeling.
	10:23am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Oh the hummingbirds of Costa Rica. sigh I went for a tour in the St Helena cloud forest wearing a bright red shirt. A hummingbird flew up to my chest and hovered there, thinking I was a flower. Priceless.
	♥ 10:24am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Trouble + Troubled Listeners!
	10:24am Birdlands: Chris, A great video thanks, did you take it ? You can identify Cedar Waxwing trees just by looking at the spots on the ground :)
	10:27am dc pat: those violet saberwings are amazing. great videos chris.
	10:27am chris: Glad u like Birdlands. Yea I am basically addicted to filming wildlife. Here is another of Waxwings from a few weeks earlier at the same spot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki4zk4UtTSw
	10:27am robyn: @Robert @HEAT jumping into the allergy conversation... i take generic claritin throughout the spring and it usually does the trick...i also had to supplement with albuterol earlier this spring for the first time. had a tight feeling in my chest which i thought was anxiety or something worse...the albuterol cleared it up. definitely recommend you check it out @HEAT
	10:28am Cube Occupant: dc pat/jennique/chris: my soon-to-be wife and I want to do a Costa-Rican honeymoon and are both terrified of heights. there's still plenty of boids to be seen from terra firma, yes?
	10:30am dc pat: @Cube, oh hell yeah. Don't worry about that. All you have to do is look up and you'll see amazing stuff.
	10:30am chris: Boids as in Boa Constrictors?
	10:30am Birdlands: Chris, Another great one ! And it feels a bit on the chilli side. I take photos when I think about especially when I was living in the mountains mountain biking. Can you post photos on this board ?
	10:30am HEAT: @robyn Thanks!! I will go pick some up after work. I hear you on the tight feeling in chest. I am happy to hear about something that will make that feeling dissipate.
	10:31am dc pat: get some high-power binocs though or super-zoom camera.
	10:33am Faye: hai2u trouble B)
	10:34am dc pat: FAYE!
	10:34am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: @Cube Occupant: What part of Costa Rica will you visit? Monteverde is where I saw lots of great birds in the rain forest. But down on the coast I saw scarlet macaws. Loads of great animals to see just standing on the ground. A guided tour is great because I would have missed a lot.
	10:34am Faye: yo dcp
	10:35am dc pat: Oh yeah, I saw scarlet macaws flying over rt 27 (or whatever road we were on). We had a guide at Manuel Antonio, pointed out all kinda of stuff.
	10:36am HEAT: hi faye!!!
	10:36am robyn: @HEAT np! just an FYI you'll need a prescription for that.
	10:38am Faye: hi HEAT!!
	♥ 10:39am Brian in UK: Hello trouble, here is an interview from last week with Hollie Cook. www.independent.co.uk... Could you ask Kevin if he is to tour the UK, por favor?
	♥ 10:40am Trouble: vintage priscilla go vintage!!!
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: thanks brian in UK!
	10:41am HEAT: @robyn ooooh thanks
	10:42am Cube Occupant: Thanks all for info! no idea where yet. Wedding in October; honeymoon likely to be in Feb/March after the CR rainy season. Or later if I get laid off before then....
	♥ 10:43am Priscilla: Yes, vintage sounds good!
	10:44am KP: Heat, just dont let it effect your voice.
	10:46am chris: Cube: you may want to consider sticking to the eastern side if you are going in the dry season. Probably will see more life
	10:46am Cheri Pi: FELT!
	10:46am Chris from DC: Felt!
	10:47am Faye: WOW Kevin then Isobell then Felt!! <3
	♥ 10:47am common: i member this un!
	10:47am HEAT: @KP if my voice goes, I will have to get one of those talk boxes to keep it interesting
	♥ 10:49am Trouble: xo 2 u faye
	10:50am ?: Howdy folks, looking forward to the kevin morby set... Thanks trouble!
	10:51am Cube Occupant: thx chris!
	10:54am DeemerDave: Always happy to hear "la vie en rose"
	10:54am KP: That would be interesting, Heat.
	10:54am dc pat: I dunno, I was there in April and hung out mostly on the Pacific side, and in cloud forest and I saw a ton of stuff.
	10:55am chris: I went to Puerto Viejo one afternoon and it seemed like a sweet vacation spot with gorgeous beach and some real nice nature reserves. I hope to be going back there with the wife who is more into "vacationing" than ecotourism
	10:55am chris: good to know DC
	10:58am dc pat: beach at the Manuel Antonio preserve was unbelievable.
	10:58am dc pat: I'm not big on the breathy folky singers but this tiny ruins is working for me.
	10:59am Cube Occupant: So much great info! So much great music! Head exploding!
	♥ 11:01am Priscilla: @DeemerDave: Is that a Devo hat? That might keep my head from exploding.
	11:01am dc pat: wow, liking this Cousins a lot.
	11:02am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I've been on both coasts of Costa Rica and really liked Puerto Viejo and the Caribbean side. It's harder to get to, though. Manuel Antonio on the Pacific is closer to San Jose and laid back too. Basically you can't go wrong. The cloud forest is well worth it. I've been to the Nicoya Peninsula and the Osa Peninsula. Both are great but take a while to get to. If you're going for the first time I'd say go to Monteverde and Manuel Antonio.
	11:02am KP: I meant, it's always interesting Heat.
	11:02am DeemerDave: Technically, it is an "energy dome". but the Devo reference is accurate.
	11:03am KP: Especially since I first hear Kevin Morby, among others, on your show.
	♥ 11:03am Planet Tyler: Jesus Mackeral, Felt! Awesome. I saw their very last show in London :(
	11:03am dc pat: I agree with ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ, that's what I did plus Arenal but we never saw the volcano because of clouds.
	♥ 11:04am Priscilla: I could use an energy dome!
	11:04am dc pat: I had fun driving the rental car around too. People told me the roads sucked but that's not true anymore, they're great. You'll hit dirt roads in the mountains but that's fun too.
	11:06am HEAT: YESSSSSSSSSSS
	11:07am PKNY: @Cube Occupant - Late pass on the CR convo. I stayed at the Villa Blanca Cloud Forest Hotel for part of my honeymoon, and saw plenty of birds on their grounds. We actually had a guided tour, so someone there showed us tricks on how to pick out birds in the trees. Also, lots of hummingbirds on site, so crazy to have them fly right up to your face and stop on a dime and just hover. Here's a link to some info on the Villa Blanca: www.booking.com... I've been to CR twice, and I can't wait to go back.
	11:07am bibi: this is the modern costa rica.
	11:08am DeemerDave: Priscilla: Unfortunately mine is broken
	11:08am KP: Awesome sound!
	11:11am KP: Love a solo voice and an electric guitar
	11:12am bobdoesthings: prohibition got repealed
	11:13am Punt King: Missed the show at Rough Trade so this is exciting to hear the new ones. Thanks WFMU and thanks Trouble.
	11:13am KP: Miles ...
	♥ 11:13am Greg from Bloomfield: Kinda has a Greg Cartwright quality...
	11:13am SheWolf: I'm loving this set Trouble!
	11:14am bobdoesthings: Do you think in the UK this song is called Kilometers?
	11:14am KP: God this song gets me
	11:17am HEAT: lol @bobdoesthings
	11:18am KP: Uk uses miles
	11:18am Bluesman: Really enjoying the Kevin Morby set! Great stuff! Hearing him for the first time now. He reminds me of the great Bill Fay.
	11:18am bobdoesthings: @kp.. ehh what do I know.
	11:20am dc pat: wow. how did I not know UK still uses miles. What a bunch of idiots! ...oh.
	11:23am HEAT: I thought it was kilometers too hehe
	11:23am KP: England is obstinate. Still uses pounds.
	11:23am SmokinJ: Wonderful happenings here! :)
	11:24am HEAT: Does anyone know if Kevin Morby is touring this summer?
	♥ 11:25am Whosondephone: OH YEAH!!!
	11:25am KP: You're welcome!
	11:26am bobdoesthings: KP educating us all.. -- ob·sti·nate ˈäbstənit/ adjective adjective: obstinate stubbornly refusing to change one's opinion or chosen course of action, despite attempts to persuade one to do so.
	11:26am KP: I thought England used km was until third trip there when we did a lot of driving. BTW they have powerful cars and drive extremely fast
	11:28am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: I only knew that the UK uses miles because I watch Top Gear.
	♥ 11:29am Whosondephone: YES!
	11:30am r i s k y: What movie?
	11:31am ghostofpeterfalk: The UK thought about changing to kilometres in the 60's, but then The Who were about to release I Can See For Miles and put a stop to things right there and then, as it didn't have the same ring to it. Pete Townsend has it written in his contract that as long as he shall live the UK will continue with miles a measurement of distance between places....Loved Kevin Morby Trouble and have a copy of Harlem River, the Cate Le Bon collaboration is a favourite, but Sucker in the Void is the stand-out for me. Heard first on this here very show.
	♥ 11:32am Guido from Cologne: @trouble You shouldn't trust Amazon checking prizes! See discogs: www.discogs.com...
	11:32am KP: Heat, according to his Facebook account he played Brooklyn at end of April. That's his last listed date. He's on Twitter, too.
	11:33am KP: And they drive Jag-u-wires.
	11:35am pierre: i'm tuning just now, and this is pleasant Bonjour Trouble
	♥ 11:39am Trouble: bonjour pierre! thanks guido, that price makes more sense...
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: Diva! www.youtube.com... the movie is free tonite at paterson public library: 5:00 pm
	11:42am Raphaël: Nice detuning
	11:42am dc pat: yeah that's the problem..idiots like Townshend and Morby keep writing songs with "miles" in them. We'll never advance like this.
	11:43am robyn: malcolm mclaren - miles and miles of miles davis
	11:45am βrian: I'll bet nobody has ever said, "Oh that Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez!
	11:50am A Better Me: I went and purchased Pulse Emitter.. Soothing
	11:51am ghostofpeterfalk: If Miles had been called Kilometre Davis - the world of jazz and indeed the world in general, would surely have been a sadder and more importantly, less cool place!
	11:52am βrian: ... or if his last name were Long.
	♥ 11:52am Priscilla: Have you seen those Mother's Day presents that look like a giant electric mitten? I think they squeeze your hand.
	11:55am ghostofpeterfalk: Love this Land of Kush tune
	♥ 11:56am Brian in UK: You are all bonkers.
	♥ 11:57am Brian in UK: Our allotment is measured in poles. Work that one out.
	11:58am bobdoesthings: great show! later trouble
	11:59am KP: Thanks, Trouble!
