	♥ 9:45am MD: @Passaic River Blues:...I know! right? My wife and I are waiting for Jack Bauer to show up!!!
	9:46am Adrian in London: @Trouble I know!! The fact that I'm head-to-toe in black, like a disgraced clergyman, is neither here nor there when it comes to enjoying the warmth.
	♥ 9:47am Guido from Cologne: great version, never heard
	♥ 9:48am Polyus: I think I said it elsewhere, but this new Creation comp is excellent, if you happen to have some extra money burning a hole in your pocket.
	9:52am βrian: This particular March week is the cruelest month.
	♥ 9:53am Trouble: yes brian, counting down to april. although i did see some snowdrops in a neighbour's yard, that was kind of magical
	9:57am βrian: Our garlic is 6 inches high and we have Day Lilies coming up along with Daffodils. Can't complain, I suppose.
	9:57am βrian: 74 and sunny in Milan, though.
	♥ 9:58am Priscilla: :-)
	9:58am annie: redbud popping color here and the little japanese maple is at half-foliage...
	10:00am AndrewC.: Wow, The Equals - school disco classic!
	10:00am AndrewC.: Electric Avenue next please...
	10:01am annie: killer set trouble.. constant head-bopping... ditto at andrew's comment
	10:01am Ajay: Gotta love The Equals
	10:07am sphere: i own The Creation's Complete Collection on Retroactive--two separate volumes on CD.
	10:07am blee: It's called a split.
	10:07am maja: yessss made it! Hi trouble, all, bit late, just googled chantal joffe. love it.
	10:08am βrian: Don't mess with our notions of Jersey, Trouble! Trees just don't fit in.
	♥ 10:09am Priscilla: Syreeta!
	♥ 10:10am MD: People come from all over the world to that park...Just for that!! WHO WOODA TAUGHT!!!
	♥ 10:11am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, ya'll!
	10:11am fm Mike: I like this song. Funky!
	10:14am fm Mike: No no noOoooooooooooh!
	10:15am AndrewC.: try le version francais sometime: www.discogs.com...
	10:15am jamesie: hey babe , love the Dawn Penn
	10:15am rbxbex: Swoon for this track every time
	10:15am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	10:16am fm Mike: rbxbex, right?
	♥ 10:16am melinda: I first heard and liked this song in the TV show Homicide: Life on the Street and I don't think I heard it since, until now. Thanks!
	10:17am djsheilab: Morning trouble + everyone! This show is fantastic!
	♥ 10:17am Sem Chumbo: haha, Trouble!
	♥ 10:17am Priscilla: hahaha!
	10:17am djsheilab: Electric Avenue!!!! Yessssss!!!
	♥ 10:18am cosmic matrix: yaaay! this song changed my life as a kid.
	10:18am annie: yay!!!!!
	♥ 10:18am cosmic matrix: that last song was killer too.....that synth bass! that pure snare, lovely
	♥ 10:18am MD: rock down to ...Atlantic Avenue...and get myself a pickle!!!
	10:19am Adrian in London: Eddy Grant! I saw him do a couple of songs at a TV recording at the London Palladium last year. He was really good. Lovely chap too, by all accounts.
	♥ 10:19am cosmic matrix: this song has one of the strangest synth sounds....sounds like a sighing robot....
	♥ 10:20am Ike: This is the only time of year that I miss living next to Branch Brook Park even a little. One of the nicest parts of the park is accessed by taking the light rail to the Branch Brook stop, then taking the cross-tracks walkway to the northeastern exit at Grafton Ave., then walk north. (Basically go to the area across the street from Clara Maass Medical Ctr.)
	10:21am the Canterbury wood-elf: i remember this Eddie Grant tune in the charts when i was about 13, had no idea what it was about... now i've got some historical perspective - the Brixton riots of '81 or '82 took place around an actual Electric Avenue tinyurl.com...
	♥ 10:21am JtotheK: electric avenue - thanks for spinning this! hi everyone.
	♥ 10:21am Passaic River Blues: @MD: While you down that way, pick me up some coffee and olives from Sahadi's.
	♥ 10:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Amen, Ike.
	♥ 10:24am Ike: Wait, there's an actual Electric Ave.?!? Wow, and a Google Maps link too! You just blew my mind! I always just figured it was a metaphor that I didn't understand or something!
	10:25am upsetter5001: Good Morning Modern World of Trouble!
	10:25am fm Mike: Mina's song reminded me of our local college station. Their marathon theme is "Spaghetti Western in Space". I gotta donate to them.
	10:26am glenn: there's an electric avenue in calgary as well.
	♥ 10:27am Passaic River Blues: @Ike: lesser known fact, Stephen Crane Village, the Newark Housing Authority projects hard by Branch Brook and near Clara Maas, was where Frankie Valli and most of the Four Seasons grew up.
	10:28am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Ike There are dozens of Victorian streets in English towns and cities named after electricity, gas and other such ultra-modern innovations! Endless fun can be found searching www.streetmap.co.uk
	♥ 10:34am Trouble: do you all know about this? it prompted a very interesting discussion with my art students hyperallergic.com...
	10:37am sugarwolf: I've been to the actual Electric Avenue!
	10:37am sphere: i don't have time to read the Hyperallergic article all the way through, but i think i agree with the author from what i've seen there.
	10:37am fm Mike: Wait, I liked a Solange song? I thought she was the discount Beyonce.
	10:38am bobdoesthings: YEESSSSSSSS!!! Love this song. can't get enough Bobby Oroza!
	10:38am annie: SO SO grateful for this show today..
	♥ 10:39am Mick: Thanks for link Trouble - that controversy keeps running into me. Have you been to the Biennial yet?
	♥ 10:39am Little Danny: Ah this Bobby Oroza. Gorgeous!
	♥ 10:39am Trouble: but have i played this song too much? i can't tell, i'm so in love with it
	♥ 10:40am melinda: I only recently learned that there was a real Electric Avenue (from someone on an FMU comment board, of course).
	10:40am bobdoesthings: No trouble! not enough!
	♥ 10:40am Passaic River Blues: Nope.
	10:41am Bronwyn Bishop: i dont understand why dana schutz couldn't just stay in her lane.
	♥ 10:42am melinda: That Hyperallergic article is really worth reading, one of the better pieces I've read on the controversy.
	♥ 10:53am JP from KC: 'morning, all!
	♥ 10:55am Passaic River Blues: @Melinda: agreed. It's really good, and elaborates some of my undeveloped thoughts about this story. I subscribe to the Hyperallergic email list (thanks to Trouble!) but did not read this before. It considers the criticism on its own terms, and grants how complicated matters of representation can be. This is a good pull quote: "There’s a fundamental misunderstanding at work in damning abstraction by associating it with erasure and irresponsibility. Abstraction, like mimeticism, is an aesthetic language that can be interpreted and used politically in a range of ways. It doesn’t necessarily mean erasure, but it does complicate the connection between perception and intellection".
	11:04am AndrewC.: Stupid work. Missed Electric Avenue!
	11:06am ThursdayFernworthy: <3 cheese
	♥ 11:09am Brian in New Orleans: Checking in from the Big Easy!
	11:11am βrian: MN — our sane neighbors to the north.
	♥ 11:11am Polyus: WE ARE AWESOME
	11:12am Adrian in London: I thought yesterday was Thursday. I only found out it wasn't when I tuned into you and heard Ken instead. You can imagine my disappointment...
	♥ 11:13am Passaic River Blues: Wow, go Minnesota. Nearly 75% is pretty damn high, especially considering the factors of felon disenfranchisement and people sick/confined/travelling/incapacitated/etc.
	11:13am fm Mike: Lol
	♥ 11:13am Polyus: Kidding aside, Trump picked up an alarming number of votes here, for such a reliably blue state. Lots of people outside Minneapolis-St. Paul, as you can guess.
	11:18am Mister Dobalina: Resolution 34 just passed the other day, now your ISP can go ahead and sell your internet history to the highest bidder, among a couple of other intrusive spying going on.
	11:19am Mister Dobalina: Here is the vote count, your representative is on there. Maybe reach out and ask why they don't value your privacy.
	11:19am Mister Dobalina: clerk.house.gov...
	11:19am upstate chris: sweet love the mixup today
	♥ 11:20am Trouble: thanks for that mister dobalina!
	♥ 11:21am Trouble: thanks chris, and thanks annie, from earlier this morning...
	11:22am βrian: @M Dobalina: Why, clearly they value it. That's why they want to sell it!
	11:22am Mister Dobalina: No stress. Wonderin' who the artist is on the track listing page for the painting. Nice mix going on as well.
	♥ 11:22am Passaic River Blues: I don't think any Dems voted in favor, but four did not vote.
	11:25am PJ: @Dobalina: Oh, so you're one of those people who wants to put restrictions on the ability of corporations to make money off of their customers? You're no friend of freedom!
	♥ 11:28am Trouble: art work today is by chantal joffe. i usually post that at the very start of the show.
	11:28am PJ: Now, if we could only get rid of the USPS and allow private mail carriers to sell the information in people's letters . . .
	11:29am fm Mike: Like this version of Night and Day :)
	11:30am zopa: Fantastic show Trouble. Really diggin' it. Thanks!
	11:31am Slaboch: Never heard this Screamin Jay track so great!!!
	♥ 11:33am Trouble: hey michael! its from first official release of screamin jay's rare second album recorded in uk 1965
	♥ 11:34am Trouble: thanks for the good words, all!
	11:35am βrian: Making preparations to plant the garden. Anybody know where I can score some chlorpyrifos?
	11:40am upstate chris: thank you Trouble for making Thursdays all the better
	♥ 11:45am Trouble: thanks chris! nice of you to say
	♥ 11:52am Sem Chumbo: Been a lovely morning, head down and buried in work, but your show between my ears. Thanks, Trouble, see you again.
	♥ 11:53am Trouble: cheerio, see you in april!!!! we made it thru the dark winter...
	♥ 11:53am Trouble: thanks sem chumbo!
	11:54am βrian: Clandestine Rendezvous-ers: Coming up on the Drummer Stream, Busy Doing Nothing with Charlie wfmu.org...
	11:58am Rev. Turnip Druid: In & out of headphones today. Fantastic Daevid tune, this. Haven't heard it in ages.
	11:59am Rev. Turnip Druid: from the LP with Euterpe, methinks... Great stuff.
	♥ 11:59am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from March 30, 2017

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.

One of the nicest parts of the park is accessed by taking the light rail to the Branch Brook stop, then taking the cross-tracks walkway to the northeastern exit at Grafton Ave., then walk north. (Basically go to the area across the street from Clara Maass Medical Ctr.)
	10:21am the Canterbury wood-elf: i remember this Eddie Grant tune in the charts when i was about 13, had no idea what it was about... now i've got some historical perspective - the Brixton riots of '81 or '82 took place around an actual Electric Avenue tinyurl.com...
	♥ 10:21am JtotheK: electric avenue - thanks for spinning this! hi everyone.
	♥ 10:21am Passaic River Blues: @MD: While you down that way, pick me up some coffee and olives from Sahadi's.
	♥ 10:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Amen, Ike.
	♥ 10:24am Ike: Wait, there's an actual Electric Ave.?!? Wow, and a Google Maps link too! You just blew my mind! I always just figured it was a metaphor that I didn't understand or something!
	10:25am upsetter5001: Good Morning Modern World of Trouble!
	10:25am fm Mike: Mina's song reminded me of our local college station. Their marathon theme is "Spaghetti Western in Space". I gotta donate to them.
	10:26am glenn: there's an electric avenue in calgary as well.
	♥ 10:27am Passaic River Blues: @Ike: lesser known fact, Stephen Crane Village, the Newark Housing Authority projects hard by Branch Brook and near Clara Maas, was where Frankie Valli and most of the Four Seasons grew up.
	10:28am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Ike There are dozens of Victorian streets in English towns and cities named after electricity, gas and other such ultra-modern innovations! Endless fun can be found searching www.streetmap.co.uk
	♥ 10:34am Trouble: do you all know about this? it prompted a very interesting discussion with my art students hyperallergic.com...
	10:37am sugarwolf: I've been to the actual Electric Avenue!
	10:37am sphere: i don't have time to read the Hyperallergic article all the way through, but i think i agree with the author from what i've seen there.
	10:37am fm Mike: Wait, I liked a Solange song? I thought she was the discount Beyonce.
	10:38am bobdoesthings: YEESSSSSSSS!!! Love this song. can't get enough Bobby Oroza!
	10:38am annie: SO SO grateful for this show today..
	♥ 10:39am Mick: Thanks for link Trouble - that controversy keeps running into me. Have you been to the Biennial yet?
	♥ 10:39am Little Danny: Ah this Bobby Oroza. Gorgeous!
	♥ 10:39am Trouble: but have i played this song too much? i can't tell, i'm so in love with it
	♥ 10:40am melinda: I only recently learned that there was a real Electric Avenue (from someone on an FMU comment board, of course).
	10:40am bobdoesthings: No trouble! not enough!
	♥ 10:40am Passaic River Blues: Nope.
	10:41am Bronwyn Bishop: i dont understand why dana schutz couldn't just stay in her lane.
	♥ 10:42am melinda: That Hyperallergic article is really worth reading, one of the better pieces I've read on the controversy.
	♥ 10:53am JP from KC: 'morning, all!
	♥ 10:55am Passaic River Blues: @Melinda: agreed. It's really good, and elaborates some of my undeveloped thoughts about this story. I subscribe to the Hyperallergic email list (thanks to Trouble!) but did not read this before. It considers the criticism on its own terms, and grants how complicated matters of representation can be. This is a good pull quote: "There’s a fundamental misunderstanding at work in damning abstraction by associating it with erasure and irresponsibility. Abstraction, like mimeticism, is an aesthetic language that can be interpreted and used politically in a range of ways. It doesn’t necessarily mean erasure, but it does complicate the connection between perception and intellection".
	11:04am AndrewC.: Stupid work. Missed Electric Avenue!
	11:06am ThursdayFernworthy: <3 cheese
	♥ 11:09am Brian in New Orleans: Checking in from the Big Easy!
	11:11am βrian: MN — our sane neighbors to the north.
	♥ 11:11am Polyus: WE ARE AWESOME
	11:12am Adrian in London: I thought yesterday was Thursday. I only found out it wasn't when I tuned into you and heard Ken instead. You can imagine my disappointment...
	♥ 11:13am Passaic River Blues: Wow, go Minnesota. Nearly 75% is pretty damn high, especially considering the factors of felon disenfranchisement and people sick/confined/travelling/incapacitated/etc.
	11:13am fm Mike: Lol
	♥ 11:13am Polyus: Kidding aside, Trump picked up an alarming number of votes here, for such a reliably blue state. Lots of people outside Minneapolis-St. Paul, as you can guess.
	11:18am Mister Dobalina: Resolution 34 just passed the other day, now your ISP can go ahead and sell your internet history to the highest bidder, among a couple of other intrusive spying going on.
	11:19am Mister Dobalina: Here is the vote count, your representative is on there. Maybe reach out and ask why they don't value your privacy.
	11:19am Mister Dobalina: clerk.house.gov...
	11:19am upstate chris: sweet love the mixup today
	♥ 11:20am Trouble: thanks for that mister dobalina!
	♥ 11:21am Trouble: thanks chris, and thanks annie, from earlier this morning...
	11:22am βrian: @M Dobalina: Why, clearly they value it. That's why they want to sell it!
	11:22am Mister Dobalina: No stress. Wonderin' who the artist is on the track listing page for the painting. Nice mix going on as well.
	♥ 11:22am Passaic River Blues: I don't think any Dems voted in favor, but four did not vote.
	11:25am PJ: @Dobalina: Oh, so you're one of those people who wants to put restrictions on the ability of corporations to make money off of their customers? You're no friend of freedom!
	♥ 11:28am Trouble: art work today is by chantal joffe. i usually post that at the very start of the show.
	11:28am PJ: Now, if we could only get rid of the USPS and allow private mail carriers to sell the information in people's letters . . .
	11:29am fm Mike: Like this version of Night and Day :)
	11:30am zopa: Fantastic show Trouble. Really diggin' it. Thanks!
