	10:09am MD: And Spicy hid behind a bush!!!
	10:10am Rich in Washington: Ha! I'm glad you mentioned that aspect of clear vinyl, Trouble! People who squee about clear vinyl records clearly have never had to cue a track up on them very quickly.
	10:10am fm Mike: I am proud of France for making the correct decision. I think their people watched us and said "Yeah... No."
	10:10am MD: Viva La France!!!
	10:11am Priscilla: squee! :-)
	10:12am sugarwolf: I read on Twitter that Macron's father researches cat sneezes.
	10:13am wtf: see the church ,see the steeple ...inside are beautiful but ignorant sheeple. I miss yesterday's discourse on Ken's comment pavillion
	10:15am Passaic River Blues: Haha, yesterday's "discourse"? "Assad is being maligned by the globalists! He would never kill his own people! Wake up, sheeple, Putin will save us all."
	10:16am glenn: funny thing - i generally assume a person using the word "sheeple" is a moron. i haven't been proven wrong yet.
	10:17am Charlie_pseudonym: I'm afraid I'm watching a beautiful sunset "dancing formless into the midnight whirlpool "of mediocrity
	10:18am MD: Long live the First Amendment! All he need's is one "little" War or attack to get rid of that...Why Why Why are we Sleeping???
	10:19am I forgot my post name: your probably right☺this is my ostrich head in the sand moronic smile
	10:21am βrian: Is it unfair to be diacritical of Macron?
	10:21am your right to disagree: md I'm glad to see your soul
	10:22am Mick: MD - I saw a headline about that Spicer hiding in the bush thing. Assumed it was a joke - is that real?
	10:22am MD: On a Lighter note...It is a beautiful May day here on the East Coast. All is Quiet on the Eastern Front...As of Yet...Spicy Behind a Bush!!!!
	10:23am Passaic River Blues: This Krog-Kuhn collab is gorgeous.
	10:23am MD: @Mick....Yes my wife read this to me this morning...I CAN'T WAIT FOR SNL THIS WEEKEND!!!
	10:23am Trouble: www.nytimes.com... history included
	10:23am Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the Stettheimer! Ms. Krog's voice sounds like that of Kingston resident Rebecca Martin.
	10:24am mr me: randy Newman "the Putin man" video
	10:24am Trouble: my son is fascinated by the evil of nixon. now he gets to see a contempo prez take on his own ghosts
	10:26am Trouble: karin krog played with him when she came around a few years ago. @ passaicriver. this is a rather contempo project , 2014
	10:26am themutante: What wonderfully interesting times we live in. American politics is the best soap opera on the telly.
	10:26am glenn: well, if hoover hadn't acquired so much dirt on the people in power in washington, he would have been fired many times over.
	10:26am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	10:27am Trouble: YES, spicey was in the bushes. he didn't want to talk on camera, so they retired to the...bushes. you just can't make this stuff up!
	10:28am glenn: as somebody who lived through having rob ford as mayor, i find it all somewhat deja vu - ish.
	10:28am fm Mike: @Trouble, interesting! @Greg from ZONE 5, hello!
	10:28am themutante: Shame Spicey wont be back this week for the WHPB. Hell, he might never be back.
	10:28am Mick: It has gone so far past what we would accept if it were fiction...
	10:29am njorg: morning trouble, thank you for the music
	10:29am Passaic River Blues: Favorite Nixon books: "Nixonland" by Rick Perlstein and "The Arrogance of Power" by Anthony Summers. The Summers had interesting bits about Nixon's fondness for Seconal and Dilantin. Thank you, Trouble. I will definitely look into that "Break of Day" album.
	10:30am themutante: Sooo much material for writers of political drama.
	10:30am njorg: i can't wait for the sean spicer hiding in the bushes scene in a movie in 20 years
	10:30am I forgot my id: Glad to stir the pot but I gotta go to work. Everybody have a nice day.☺oh I remember my id..the smiley face moron
	10:31am MD: I kEEP hEARING...boop...boop...boop...boop...LAST WEEK ON 24...
	10:31am 1 more post: but who didn't like seconals?
	10:32am fm Mike: Lol @ MD
	10:33am Trouble: apprentice president needs to do more reading : images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
	10:34am melinda: Does anyone know of a book to recommend on J Edgar Hoover? While watching a documentary about people who raided draft board offices in the 70s I realized what a unique and powerful figure he was in US history and thought a bio might be fun.
	10:37am melinda: Actually the doc was about the theft of FBI files and subsequent leaking, but the draft board break-ins were covered, too. It's called 1971, worth watching.
	10:38am glenn: melinda - www.amazon.ca...
	10:38am melinda: Thanks glenn. Hee.
	10:39am Webhamster Henry: Chris Durang and Albert Innaurato did a little musical revue during the Watergate proceedings called the Watergate Classics at Yale . With fellow students Sigourney Weaver and Meryl Streep.
	10:39am Passaic River Blues: @Melinda: Anthony Summers also wrote a book about Hoover but I haven't read it. My wife was a sociology major and also a bit of a Nixon obsessive. It was a long time ago but I remember her reading a book about how Hoover and the Cointelpro program monitored and infiltrated university departments. Can't remember the name...
	10:40am glenn: or any of james ellroy's novels will probably give you some insight into the paranoia of the times.
	10:40am thriftstoreleather: that was wonderful
	10:43am bobdoesthings: ughhhh loveeee this carl stevens track!
	10:44am Passaic River Blues: @bobdoesthings: seconded. This is awesome.
	10:44am Greg from ZONE 5: I freaking love this whole Popcorn Exotica album.
	10:46am Dean: Curt Gentry, J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets (N.Y.: Norton, 1991) was a best seller, almost 900 pages.
	10:46am Trouble: yes @ greg from zone 5 ; all those croyden municipal releases are fantabulous. bob stanley knows what he is doing!
	10:46am melinda: Thanks Passaic. Hoover comes up in lots of crime documentaries actually. I was watching one about Whitey Bulger and there was a bit about how Hoover's FBI denied the existence of the Mafia (or was truly ignorant of? not sure which).
	10:46am βrian: Trouble's show is always staffed with librarians.
	10:46am sugarwolf: I can't believe Nixon put Carol Channing on his enemies list!
	10:47am Trouble: that high voice! might be able to communicate with satellites @sugarwolf...
	10:48am melinda: Thanks, Dean.
	10:48am Itzall Ablurr: "Popcorn Exotica"- a(nother) one on my shopping list, courtesy of WFMU! Love it.
	10:48am Passaic River Blues: @Dean: oh man, that sounds good. Thank you.
	10:51am sugarwolf: Well that lady at the library bookshop who seemed surprised that "young people" like myself (lol) were interested in Nixon would be delighted to learn teenagers are interested too
	10:53am Santos L Halper: Everything I've heard from this Moon Duo is great, that one esp groovy, thx!
	10:53am Dean: See my comment on Uncle Michael's show two weeks ago re: Nixon's so-called hometown. (He was born in Yorba Linda, went to school and started his career in Whittier.) http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/72266 @12:20.
	10:54am Adrian in London: screeches in late I was out having late lunch. Playlist looks great so far. Looking at the comments, another problem with clear vinyl is not being able to see whether the record is a bit dusty.
	10:57am βrian: I know Eno!
	11:00am βrian: No?
	11:03am The Oscar: My grandfather wasn't the most liberal guy-- he was a retired Air Force colonel from the deep south-- but he HATED Nixon, and would become visibly angry whenever the topic would come up. Hated W, too, and he and my grandmother even voted for Obama before they died. I'm really happy neither of them had to see Trump take office.
	11:11am Trouble: hello adrian, and all late comers. you will not be marked late, but your pay will be docked
	11:14am rebuketodali: Histoire!!!!!!!!!
	11:14am bobdoesthings: greeeat record
	11:15am kwhitehead: I love how every song on this record sounds like it was recorded at 3am.
	11:15am Adrian in London: Pay? Ha ha. (I'm actually sitting doing my annual accounts right now)
	11:16am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES! I'm LATE!
	11:18am jt: Ah.. Melody.. I used to think this was the most romantic love song. This album could make you cry .. if you understand the basic outline of the story.. then I looked at the lyrics and decided the voice of the male while very captivating is kind of a creeper, and a bad driver. Behind teh wheel of his Rolls he hits the poor girl on her bicycle then when she is splayed out on the ground, he noticed she is: "a natural red -head " Ugh. Gotta love the French.
	11:18am Trouble: good point @ kwhitehead. knowing serge, it probably was. you all have seen the fabulous serge bio pic? it was a fun ride. joann sfar made it soooo very visually intriguing
	11:18am Rev. Turnip Druid: Missed th'MONK. Picked up a NM copy of his Criss-Cross LP yesterday. Lovely stuff. Classic cover design as well.
	11:19am MD: I am so Happy Serge Had a serge!!!
	11:19am Trouble: you don't look to serge for romance @jt
	11:20am jt: ... such a sexy baseline... "What is your name?"
	11:20am The Oscar: @jt I once played this album at the record store I used to work at. At one point, a woman came up and asked "...You don't speak French, do you? This is REALLY graphic!"
	11:21am MD: Surge...Serge!!!
	11:21am βrian: Jean-Luc Ponty played on that. What a hoot.
	11:23am sugarwolf: To the French book shop by the Metropolitan Museum and they had the gainsbourg comic book by sfar but it was soooo heavy and all in French.
	11:23am bobdoesthings: whoa, loving this Martin Dennny.. "Forbidden Island" .. added to the shopping list.
	11:23am sugarwolf: That should be I WENT TO the French bookshop
	11:24am βrian: You can always have your cat translate.
	11:24am Dean: At the record store where I worked we waited for the store to clear before we blasted the Ian Dury tune commencing with his shouting, "Aholes, bastards, fing cts and pr*ks!" The manager stormed out of his office, freaking out.
	11:25am bobdoesthings: I remember watching a video of Serge drunk on a TV talk show very openly saying he wanted to have sex with the other guest..oh here it is.. www.youtube.com...
	11:31am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble. @Dean what an odd manager.
	11:32am Dean: It was a "family" record store.
	11:34am melinda: @bob: omg.
	11:34am sugarwolf: @bobdoesthings: I remember the old days when you could only read about that tv appearance
	11:36am Adrian in London: Oh, this Slowdive album is so good!
	11:36am Listener142985: loving the heavy play this song is getting!
	11:37am βrian: But didn't Morticia say the same to Gomez?
	11:38am Greg from ZONE 5: Haha…Serge was a dirty old man from birth.
	11:38am pseudo me: Nixon the mastermind of hmo and who stole the gold standard Dick.Hoover a very sweet crossdresser
	11:39am bobdoesthings: ah I didn't realize there was NEW slowdive?! more stuff to add to my shopping list.. <3
	11:40am bobdoesthings: 22 years later!
	11:42am Adrian in London: @bobdoesthings I normally hate when bands reform, and turned down a chance to see Slowdive's comeback gig, but this record is truly wonderful. On 'silver' vinyl (ie sort of off-white!)
	11:47am Passaic River Blues: Agreed on all the Slowdive comments. This new record could have been terrible but it's wonderful. It could have been "Souvlaki Redux" but, although it is very clearly on the classic Slowdive/Halstead tip, it's also not merely a duplication of past efforts. Also, Parlor Walls kicking it right now!
	11:48am bobdoesthings: thats great news! that track was definitely some solid slowdive goodness for sure
	11:52am Adrian in London: I interviewed Simon from Slowdive, about his sound art work, which is great incidentally, and deliberately didn't mention Slowdive because… y'know. A few weeks later: big announcement: Slowdive are reforming!! Ha ha
	11:53am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning one and all. cheerio
	11:54am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble!
	11:55am bobdoesthings: Ah! excited to get this alice coltrane in the mail! just ordered it the other day. Thanks trouble! great show <3
	11:55am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:55am βrian: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan coming up on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	11:56am Adrian in London: Thanks, Trouble! And thanks, Brian. See you over there!
	11:58am Mick: Thanks Trouble! Great Alice ending!
	11:58am Mikey_B: Love this Coltrane.
	11:59am MD: Thank You T! Keep The Faith All! XO!
	12:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Trouble! Great stuff today.
	12:18pm jt: Thanks Trouble. Your students are lucky to have you as their teacher I am sure they will remember you always. Every decade or so I had a decent teacher.
	1:50pm Cooh John: Awesome set.

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.

	10:09am MD: And Spicy hid behind a bush!!!
	10:10am Rich in Washington: Ha! I'm glad you mentioned that aspect of clear vinyl, Trouble! People who squee about clear vinyl records clearly have never had to cue a track up on them very quickly.
	10:10am fm Mike: I am proud of France for making the correct decision. I think their people watched us and said "Yeah... No."
	10:10am MD: Viva La France!!!
	10:11am Priscilla: squee! :-)
	10:12am sugarwolf: I read on Twitter that Macron's father researches cat sneezes.
	10:13am wtf: see the church ,see the steeple ...inside are beautiful but ignorant sheeple. I miss yesterday's discourse on Ken's comment pavillion
	10:15am Passaic River Blues: Haha, yesterday's "discourse"? "Assad is being maligned by the globalists! He would never kill his own people! Wake up, sheeple, Putin will save us all."
	10:16am glenn: funny thing - i generally assume a person using the word "sheeple" is a moron. i haven't been proven wrong yet.
	10:17am Charlie_pseudonym: I'm afraid I'm watching a beautiful sunset "dancing formless into the midnight whirlpool "of mediocrity
	10:18am MD: Long live the First Amendment! All he need's is one "little" War or attack to get rid of that...Why Why Why are we Sleeping???
	10:19am I forgot my post name: your probably right☺this is my ostrich head in the sand moronic smile
	10:21am βrian: Is it unfair to be diacritical of Macron?
	10:21am your right to disagree: md I'm glad to see your soul
	10:22am Mick: MD - I saw a headline about that Spicer hiding in the bush thing. Assumed it was a joke - is that real?
	10:22am MD: On a Lighter note...It is a beautiful May day here on the East Coast. All is Quiet on the Eastern Front...As of Yet...Spicy Behind a Bush!!!!
	10:23am Passaic River Blues: This Krog-Kuhn collab is gorgeous.
	10:23am MD: @Mick....Yes my wife read this to me this morning...I CAN'T WAIT FOR SNL THIS WEEKEND!!!
	10:23am Trouble: www.nytimes.com... history included
	10:23am Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the Stettheimer! Ms. Krog's voice sounds like that of Kingston resident Rebecca Martin.
	10:24am mr me: randy Newman "the Putin man" video
	10:24am Trouble: my son is fascinated by the evil of nixon. now he gets to see a contempo prez take on his own ghosts
	10:26am Trouble: karin krog played with him when she came around a few years ago. @ passaicriver. this is a rather contempo project , 2014
	10:26am themutante: What wonderfully interesting times we live in. American politics is the best soap opera on the telly.
	10:26am glenn: well, if hoover hadn't acquired so much dirt on the people in power in washington, he would have been fired many times over.
	10:26am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	10:27am Trouble: YES, spicey was in the bushes. he didn't want to talk on camera, so they retired to the...bushes. you just can't make this stuff up!
	10:28am glenn: as somebody who lived through having rob ford as mayor, i find it all somewhat deja vu - ish.
	10:28am fm Mike: @Trouble, interesting! @Greg from ZONE 5, hello!
	10:28am themutante: Shame Spicey wont be back this week for the WHPB. Hell, he might never be back.
	10:28am Mick: It has gone so far past what we would accept if it were fiction...
	10:29am njorg: morning trouble, thank you for the music
	10:29am Passaic River Blues: Favorite Nixon books: "Nixonland" by Rick Perlstein and "The Arrogance of Power" by Anthony Summers. The Summers had interesting bits about Nixon's fondness for Seconal and Dilantin. Thank you, Trouble. I will definitely look into that "Break of Day" album.
	10:30am themutante: Sooo much material for writers of political drama.
	10:30am njorg: i can't wait for the sean spicer hiding in the bushes scene in a movie in 20 years
	10:30am I forgot my id: Glad to stir the pot but I gotta go to work. Everybody have a nice day.☺oh I remember my id..the smiley face moron
	10:31am MD: I kEEP hEARING...boop...boop...boop...boop...LAST WEEK ON 24...
	10:31am 1 more post: but who didn't like seconals?
	10:32am fm Mike: Lol @ MD
	10:33am Trouble: apprentice president needs to do more reading : images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com...
	10:34am melinda: Does anyone know of a book to recommend on J Edgar Hoover? While watching a documentary about people who raided draft board offices in the 70s I realized what a unique and powerful figure he was in US history and thought a bio might be fun.
	10:37am melinda: Actually the doc was about the theft of FBI files and subsequent leaking, but the draft board break-ins were covered, too. It's called 1971, worth watching.
	10:38am glenn: melinda - www.amazon.ca...
	10:38am melinda: Thanks glenn. Hee.
	10:39am Webhamster Henry: Chris Durang and Albert Innaurato did a little musical revue during the Watergate proceedings called the Watergate Classics at Yale . With fellow students Sigourney Weaver and Meryl Streep.
	10:39am Passaic River Blues: @Melinda: Anthony Summers also wrote a book about Hoover but I haven't read it. My wife was a sociology major and also a bit of a Nixon obsessive. It was a long time ago but I remember her reading a book about how Hoover and the Cointelpro program monitored and infiltrated university departments. Can't remember the name...
	10:40am glenn: or any of james ellroy's novels will probably give you some insight into the paranoia of the times.
	10:40am thriftstoreleather: that was wonderful
	10:43am bobdoesthings: ughhhh loveeee this carl stevens track!
	10:44am Passaic River Blues: @bobdoesthings: seconded. This is awesome.
	10:44am Greg from ZONE 5: I freaking love this whole Popcorn Exotica album.
	10:46am Dean: Curt Gentry, J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets (N.Y.: Norton, 1991) was a best seller, almost 900 pages.
	10:46am Trouble: yes @ greg from zone 5 ; all those croyden municipal releases are fantabulous. bob stanley knows what he is doing!
	10:46am melinda: Thanks Passaic. Hoover comes up in lots of crime documentaries actually. I was watching one about Whitey Bulger and there was a bit about how Hoover's FBI denied the existence of the Mafia (or was truly ignorant of? not sure which).
	10:46am βrian: Trouble's show is always staffed with librarians.
	10:46am sugarwolf: I can't believe Nixon put Carol Channing on his enemies list!
	10:47am Trouble: that high voice! might be able to communicate with satellites @sugarwolf...
	10:48am melinda: Thanks, Dean.
	10:48am Itzall Ablurr: "Popcorn Exotica"- a(nother) one on my shopping list, courtesy of WFMU! Love it.
	10:48am Passaic River Blues: @Dean: oh man, that sounds good. Thank you.
	10:51am sugarwolf: Well that lady at the library bookshop who seemed surprised that "young people" like myself (lol) were interested in Nixon would be delighted to learn teenagers are interested too
	10:53am Santos L Halper: Everything I've heard from this Moon Duo is great, that one esp groovy, thx!
	10:53am Dean: See my comment on Uncle Michael's show two weeks ago re: Nixon's so-called hometown. (He was born in Yorba Linda, went to school and started his career in Whittier.) http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/72266 @12:20.
	10:54am Adrian in London: screeches in late I was out having late lunch. Playlist looks great so far. Looking at the comments, another problem with clear vinyl is not being able to see whether the record is a bit dusty.
	10:57am βrian: I know Eno!
	11:00am βrian: No?
	11:03am The Oscar: My grandfather wasn't the most liberal guy-- he was a retired Air Force colonel from the deep south-- but he HATED Nixon, and would become visibly angry whenever the topic would come up. Hated W, too, and he and my grandmother even voted for Obama before they died. I'm really happy neither of them had to see Trump take office.
	11:11am Trouble: hello adrian, and all late comers. you will not be marked late, but your pay will be docked
	11:14am rebuketodali: Histoire!!!!!!!!!
	11:14am bobdoesthings: greeeat record
	11:15am kwhitehead: I love how every song on this record sounds like it was recorded at 3am.
	11:15am Adrian in London: Pay? Ha ha. (I'm actually sitting doing my annual accounts right now)
	11:16am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES! I'm LATE!
	11:18am jt: Ah.. Melody.. I used to think this was the most romantic love song. This album could make you cry .. if you understand the basic outline of the story.. then I looked at the lyrics and decided the voice of the male while very captivating is kind of a creeper, and a bad driver. Behind teh wheel of his Rolls he hits the poor girl on her bicycle then when she is splayed out on the ground, he noticed she is: "a natural red -head " Ugh. Gotta love the French.
	11:18am Trouble: good point @ kwhitehead. knowing serge, it probably was. you all have seen the fabulous serge bio pic? it was a fun ride. joann sfar made it soooo very visually intriguing
	11:18am Rev. Turnip Druid: Missed th'MONK. Picked up a NM copy of his Criss-Cross LP yesterday. Lovely stuff. Classic cover design as well.
	11:19am MD: I am so Happy Serge Had a serge!!!
	11:19am Trouble: you don't look to serge for romance @jt
	11:20am jt: ... such a sexy baseline... "What is your name?"
	11:20am The Oscar: @jt I once played this album at the record store I used to work at. At one point, a woman came up and asked "...You don't speak French, do you? This is REALLY graphic!"
	11:21am MD: Surge...Serge!!!
	11:21am βrian: Jean-Luc Ponty played on that. What a hoot.
	11:23am sugarwolf: To the French book shop by the Metropolitan Museum and they had the gainsbourg comic book by sfar but it was soooo heavy and all in French.
	11:23am bobdoesthings: whoa, loving this Martin Dennny.. "Forbidden Island" .. added to the shopping list.
	11:23am sugarwolf: That should be I WENT TO the French bookshop
	11:24am βrian: You can always have your cat translate.
	11:24am Dean: At the record store where I worked we waited for the store to clear before we blasted the Ian Dury tune commencing with his shouting, "Aholes, bastards, fing cts and pr*ks!" The manager stormed out of his office, freaking out.
	11:25am bobdoesthings: I remember watching a video of Serge drunk on a TV talk show very openly saying he wanted to have sex with the other guest..oh here it is.. www.youtube.com...
	11:31am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble. @Dean what an odd manager.
	11:32am Dean: It was a "family" record store.
	11:34am melinda: @bob: omg.
	11:34am sugarwolf: @bobdoesthings: I remember the old days when you could only read about that tv appearance
	11:36am Adrian in London: Oh, this Slowdive album is so good!
	11:36am Listener142985: loving the heavy play this song is getting!
	11:37am βrian: But didn't Morticia say the same to Gomez?
	11:38am Greg from ZONE 5: Haha…Serge was a dirty old man from birth.
	11:38am pseudo me: Nixon the mastermind of hmo and who stole the gold standard Dick.Hoover a very sweet crossdresser
	11:39am bobdoesthings: ah I didn't realize there was NEW slowdive?! more stuff to add to my shopping list.. <3
	11:40am bobdoesthings: 22 years later!
	11:42am Adrian in London: @bobdoesthings I normally hate when bands reform, and turned down a chance to see Slowdive's comeback gig, but this record is truly wonderful. On 'silver' vinyl (ie sort of off-white!)
	11:47am Passaic River Blues: Agreed on all the Slowdive comments. This new record could have been terrible but it's wonderful. It could have been "Souvlaki Redux" but, although it is very clearly on the classic Slowdive/Halstead tip, it's also not merely a duplication of past efforts. Also, Parlor Walls kicking it right now!
	11:48am bobdoesthings: thats great news! that track was definitely some solid slowdive goodness for sure
	11:52am Adrian in London: I interviewed Simon from Slowdive, about his sound art work, which is great incidentally, and deliberately didn't mention Slowdive because… y'know. A few weeks later: big announcement: Slowdive are reforming!! Ha ha
	11:53am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning one and all. cheerio
	11:54am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble!
	11:55am bobdoesthings: Ah! excited to get this alice coltrane in the mail! just ordered it the other day. Thanks trouble! great show <3
	11:55am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:55am βrian: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan coming up on the Drummer Stream: wfmu.org...
	11:56am Adrian in London: Thanks, Trouble! And thanks, Brian. See you over there!
	11:58am Mick: Thanks Trouble! Great Alice ending!
	11:58am Mikey_B: Love this Coltrane.
	11:59am MD: Thank You T! Keep The Faith All! XO!
	12:01pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Trouble! Great stuff today.
	12:18pm jt: Thanks Trouble. Your students are lucky to have you as their teacher I am sure they will remember you always. Every decade or so I had a decent teacher.
	1:50pm Cooh John: Awesome set.
