	9:34am Mark R: Karin Krog is amazing and I have to confess I wasn't aware of her until about a year ago.
	9:35am mb: Good morning, Trouble. This Karin Krog is kinda like a lazy Petra Haden effort of a song. Ohh. Now its getting a lil like a Leon Thomas effort.
	♥ 9:36am Passaic River Blues: @Melinda: Me, too. It's beautiful.
	♥ 9:38am Trouble: you are not alone listener robert. I think she was popular in europe and within a select jazz crowd here. but thankfully, her light in the attic anthology 'don't just sing', changed that.
	9:41am Mark R: I'm interested in hearing what constituted a "new age" record in 1950! This Constance Demby track is beautiful, though.
	9:46am Mark R: Robert, the way I see it, the blue and yellow guy is a martini and. hasn't a care in the world.
	♥ 9:47am Adrian in London: Hello @Trouble, sorry I'm late, just been doing a bit of shopping and mooching at Borough Market, which reopened yesterday. It's buzzing today. Great to see.
	♥ 9:49am Trouble: no time requirements here adrian! all swell. hope you are well
	♥ 9:52am Adrian in London: I'm champion, thanks. By the way, just got an email from Tate Modern about this artist, who's new on me. Fahrelnissa Zeid www.tate.org.uk...
	♥ 9:53am Trouble: that looks gorgeous, adrian!
	9:54am Mark R: Wow, that's beautiful, Adrian. Such attention to detail! I'm always impressed when an artist that kind of focus and discipline.
	♥ 9:57am Ike: Yeah that Zeid looks great. Another reason to get to the Tate Modern someday. Never been. Uh oh, we've got desk gremlins at work, shuffling items around at night, moving my spoon, raising and lowering standing desks, swapping out people's chairs....
	9:59am Andal: very nice set so far! Can't wait to hear the guy who talks to bugs...
	♥ 10:03am Webhamster Henry: Morning, Trouble, and fellow Oliveros collaborator David Rothenberg!
	10:06am bobdoesthings: YESSSS!!!
	10:06am bobdoesthings: <3 <3 <3
	♥ 10:06am Adrian in London: I'm extremely fortunate that my current freelance gig is literally five minutes away from Tate Modern so I can pop in at lunchtime and look at a couple of rooms without doing the 'spending all day in a museum and my feet are aching now' thing.
	♥ 10:06am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble and all!

	10:18am annie: if you're of amind to find an alternative to FB, try Minds.com. it's very different; only in beta for now, but worth a look. just learning my way around. focusses on sharing more than friending.
	♥ 10:23am dgg: i love this
	♥ 10:25am Priscilla: That Tate website is fabulous — the clarity, the typeface, the LOGO! Those Brits!
	♥ 10:25am Adrian in London: Annie, there's also www.flotsm.com an anonymous network, which is interesting. Set up by Stephen Godfroy from Rough Trade.
	♥ 10:29am Trouble: love to find an alternate to fb.... thanks for this thread!
	10:31am Andal: sounds like a weird cover of jet boy jet girl!
	10:32am blee: Avalanches! Oh yes! we can book a flight tonight, aight.
	10:37am zingerbringer: Man I looooove this Cosmic Machine comp! Still looking for a copy of vol. 2...
	10:38am annie: if any of you want to "subscribe" to my channel, i am "sallyoakley".. on minds.com..
	♥ 10:38am Trouble: wha?? there is a volume 2? i did not know that....
	10:42am bobdoesthings: @annie - what is this minds.com?
	10:42am βrian: I's appealing that Minds.com is based on open source software and is community-owned, though I don't really know what that means. I just can't bring myself to mediate my online existence through a corporation.
	10:45am blee: I really like the second Avalanches album. Subway is a great song. Since I Left You is perfect in every way though. No way to repeat that.
	10:46am zingerbringer: There is! I ordered it through my local shop but it never came. You USA people shouldn't have a hard time finding one... :(
	10:46am bobdoesthings: yeah I was a bit bummed by the second Avalanches.. but I did like it. but in comparison to the first.. no contest.. I think also the long awaited/buildup to the second one may have raised the expectations too high..
	10:47am annie: it's a very "new" website designed mosty to eliminate the advertising and promotional tactics of FB. it's divided into sections such as hundreds of groups, channels, blogs. a member is able to subscribe to anyone they choose. a newsfeed is full of your subscriptions and those "boosted" by the channel owner, which is easily blocked if you do not like the content. all points of view, all walks of life. many artists, musicians, and rabble rousers..
	10:51am bobdoesthings: @annie - interesting..I'll have to investigate further.
	10:52am annie: yes, do...you'll be drawn in, it's nice and diverse.
	10:57am meredith: better late than never. Morning all
	11:00am βrian: Just trying out this year's first batch of strawberry-rosemary jam. Very nice.
	♥ 11:01am steveo: birds!
	♥ 11:03am Webhamster Henry: It's really good to approach music theory from the standpoint of animal, insect, and bird song.
	11:04am βrian: Messiaen would agree.
	♥ 11:05am steveo: Some thoughts on this topic in a book by one of my favorite authors: "Mozart's Starling" by Lyanda Lynn Haupt.
	11:07am annie: michael pestel!!!! a good frind of mine.... i was hoping to hear his name as this conversation went by...
	♥ 11:07am steveo: "Lyanda Lynn Haupt raised a starling of her own to see if the tale of Mozart and his starling could be true. Her experience brings the legend of musician and bird into our present world where science rules. Yet even today, the song of the starling, but a minute in length, lies at the very limits of human comprehension. Read the book and you will learn why."―David Rothenberg, author of Why Birds Sing and Survival of the Beautiful
	♥ 11:07am Passaic River Blues: Really can't express how amazing this is.
	11:08am Mikey_B: This is awesome. Stuff like this is why FMU is a gem. Thanks, Trouble!
	11:09am bobdoesthings: this might be a dumb question.. but can we be certain that the birds are responding to the instruments being played?
	11:10am annie: michael is pan .... even the way he moves as he performs. he is a unique person...
	11:11am chromaphone: I have this book and cd. So great!
	♥ 11:12am rsj: it's just to distract from their small hands
	♥ 11:12am Sem Chumbo: @bobdoesthings: check # 6 here: mentalfloss.com...
	♥ 11:13am Passaic River Blues: My parrotlet gets really excited by two different songs by the Icelandic band múm, and does this whole call-and-response routine.
	11:15am bobdoesthings: @semchumbo - hmmmm I dunno..this website also says that cats don't respond to music but my experience with my cat says otherwise
	11:16am will: Who is she talking to right now? I missed the opening
	11:17am Bruce S.: Good Morning Trouble- Great playlist as usual. Always gets me in the right state of being. Also love the image by Gillian Ayres and your art sensibility.
	♥ 11:18am tmoyo: this is beautiful
	11:19am upsetter5001: Fantastic show today. Thank you for pushing the topic of bird music and sound on us.
	11:19am annie: even thinking that there is no connection amongst all these noises and sounds, and how we/they interact accordingly ... this is a serious disconnect from nature.
	11:21am Listener Robert: My friends Nadine & Charlie were regularly visited by a mockingbird (that later Nadine concluded was more likely a blue jay) who used to imitate her alarm clock. They named him Tweedle-Dee Clock Mocker -- Mockie for short. After an interval of a few years when they weren't visited by him and Charlie died, Nadine said a bird came and said, "Tweedle-dee...dee?"
	11:24am melinda: @Passaic that's cute. A bird who likes mum.
	11:25am βrian: My wife sometimes carries on with the local black-capped chickadees.
	11:27am Listener Robert: Mark, I like that: Martin, the 3-olive martini.
	♥ 11:27am Mick: This whole interview/segment is incredible
	♥ 11:28am Passaic River Blues: @Melinda: haha It is almost sickeningly cute.
	♥ 11:32am Whosondephone: That's where it's at.
	♥ 11:34am tmoyo: amazing music, amazing story..
	11:35am βrian: A chirp off the old shoulder.
	11:35am annie: this has been such a treat.... no words..
	♥ 11:36am steveo: The Brooklyn Botanic Garden event page is here, in case anyone missed the details. www.bbg.org...
	♥ 11:37am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, steveo!
	♥ 11:37am museguy: Wonderful show Trouble !! The Louis Sarno Archive web.prm.ox.ac.uk... www.nytimes.com...
	11:37am annie: a book i read over and over when i was young: "The Cricket in Times Square".
	♥ 11:40am museguy: David B Rothenberg, Ph.D on NJIT www6.njit.edu...
	♥ 11:46am cosmic matrix: GREAT SHOW !!!!! i love making music with the animals
	♥ 11:46am cosmic matrix: my cats enjoyed this show too
	♥ 11:49am steveo: First the BBG and now the BBC. I hope BBs D, E, and F will also be covered.
	♥ 11:50am museguy: Trouble what was the name of the exhibition ? With the stuffed nightingale
	♥ 11:51am Adrian in London: I recently heard, and was captivated by, Cantus arcticus, Op. 61, "Concerto for Birds and Orchestra": I. Suo (The Marsh) by Einojuhani Rautavaara, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Hannu Lintu. Orchestra with birdsong, basically.
	11:52am annie: this is a rare interview which triggers all my joy-points in relating words, music, ideas... very stimulating.
	11:53am βrian: Apropos of nothing, the song of the wood thrush makes my brain buckle — in the most pleasant way.
	♥ 11:53am Trouble: perhaps it just closed, in london at the wellcome collection
	11:53am Jeff: It seems appropriate at this time to remember Scott McDowell's three hour program in 2012 consisting only of people playing "Lonely Woman". wfmu.org...

	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the Drummer Stream, ~~ Underwater Theme Park with Meghan ~~ wfmu.org...

	♥ 11:58am Passaic River Blues: Thank you so much, Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am Ike: Yep, I'm rarely happy w/things I've created (mostly writing) later on! Everything has to be revised, fixed, edited, changed, tore down and rebuilt!
	♥ 11:59am steveo: thank you David & 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.
