	♥ 9:54am Trouble: i put up the cover of the pac-man 7" on my instagram page: giantpompom
	♥ 9:54am The Oscar: Also, if they're called the Pac-People, Pac-Man seems like an unimaginative name. It's like naming your child "Human Male."
	9:56am sugarwolf: Running is not for fun, running is to get away from something/someone!
	♥ 9:56am Trouble: of course @peter!. how could it not be? i have never read a bad word written by david sedaris. I just finished rebecca west the fountain overflows, now on to clarice lispector, the hour of the star.

	9:58am northguineahills: Dig the Siena piece.
	9:59am northguineahills: thanks for the nyt link!
	9:59am βrian: Are they thpeaking thpanish?
	♥ 10:00am Trouble: si @brian
	♥ 10:00am MD: AUDIO PORNO!!! " You Know Dude...the mind is the most erotic organ..."
	♥ 10:02am steveo: The Hammond B3 is the most erotic organ.
	10:06am mb: Hello Trouble and troubled people!
	10:08am meredith: com truise... the best name
	10:09am kwhitehead: Totally agree with you re: Darjeeling... His new animated feature looks tremendous though.
	10:10am Margolies Abulafia: i like that classic pronunciation of arkansas!
	10:11am BronwynB: hey trouble and troubled friends
	♥ 10:14am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	10:16am Itzall Ablurr: Wow, that barbara & ernie is mighty dang beautiful.
	10:17am northguineahills: @Margolies Abulafia: Ha! I noticed that too! :) @Itzall Ablurr: Tru dat!
	♥ 10:18am Sem Chumbo: Good morning, Trouble, and those living in the sometimes puzzling Modern World. Late to the show, still picking ripe tomatoes here. I know it's no biggy for the Garden State, but in Nova Scotia it is a rare bird indeed.
	10:18am northguineahills: New Linda Perhacs, w/ Julia Holter holy hosers!
	10:22am Itzall Ablurr: Yes, Barbara & Ernie; YET another Amazon/WFMU/Trouble induced impulse purchase.
	10:22am northguineahills: @Sem: I always wanted to visit Nuevo Escotia!
	♥ 10:23am Trouble: good for you sem chumbo. I am sad to say goodbye to tomato season
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: it's a gorgeous record @itzall ablurr, no regrets
	10:25am emily: Good morning Trouble and Thursday morning-teers! Post-Halloween bleh! Looking for the silver lining of the end of day(s)light saving time! Thanks for the music on the board of the Titanic!
	♥ 10:27am Trouble: good morning emily, we will pervail!
	10:27am northguineahills: Curtis!
	10:28am βrian: Wow, it's been about ten days since we harvested our last tomato here on the isthmus. Still, that's remarkably late.
	♥ 10:29am burrrrrr: 'morning trouble, thanks for the tunes
	♥ 10:30am steveo: DST: i'll be glad to have sunlight at 7 am, at least
	♥ 10:30am Sem Chumbo: NGH: our provincial greeting is "Tha deich mìle fàilte!", a nod to the Scots gaelic language of so many immigrants here. So, come ahead.
	10:31am Itzall Ablurr: Haha. Thank you for the validation Trouble, you little enabler, you!
	♥ 10:33am Sem Chumbo: FYI:"Tha deich mìle fàilte!" is "Ten thousand welcomes!"
	♥ 10:33am NotARealDoctor: Great playlist today, Trouble! Good morning everyone. Late checking in this morning, but I've been listening. Always makes my Thursday a little nicer.
	10:34am βrian: DST. That's a street drug, right? Makes some people narcoleptic.
	♥ 10:34am Trouble: gracias, @not a real doctor!
	♥ 10:35am steveo: inspired show today, Trouble; what's your secret?
	♥ 10:37am steveo: is that the Hammond I requested?
	10:38am βrian: Got any pithy reflections for us today, Trouble?
	♥ 10:43am Trouble: this is the tate museum show that this music is meant to accompany : www.nytimes.com...
	10:43am northguineahills: @Sem: My Scottish heritage is Scots rather then Highlander Gaelic (as far as records show). Gaelic (and all Celtic languages) is really hard for me to linguistically wrap my head around w/ the pronunciation. (written, it makes sense).
	10:44am northguineahills: oh, and Trouble, mad props for playing Mellow Candle!
	♥ 10:45am Trouble: sure do @brian, next week is election day!
	10:46am d. rice: Vote yer asses off everybody!
	♥ 10:47am psysci: can u vote mickey mouse for nyc mayor?
	♥ 10:48am Sem Chumbo: A welcome soul interlude. Lovely.
	♥ 10:50am Sem Chumbo: @ngh: yep, it is a mad tangle, alright. St. Ann's College, in Cape Breton, continues to offer courses in the language. Up until ~ 30 years ago, there were still native Gaelic speakers in Nova Scotia.
	10:53am riley: Bobby Jameson, the almost Monkee.
	♥ 10:54am psysci: makes me think of the whole catalunya thing now in spain
	10:55am northguineahills: @Sem: Yeah, I've read that Gaelic was a live language in NS, too bad only the old timers still maintained it.
	♥ 10:58am psysci: how many other cultures were erased?
	♥ 10:59am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm looking forward to my $4000 tax cut now. <eyeroll>
	11:02am northguineahills: @psyci: It's one of the reasons I love the work of organizations like the Endangered Languages Project. Thanks Trouble, Amanda Nazario on Give the Drummer Some. Gonna check her out, ciao!
	11:04am Roberto: Preach, sister Trouble!
	11:05am pierre: Bonjour Trouble and Troublians !
	11:05am Central NJ GDC: We don't have a democratic process. Don't vote. Organize. facebook.com/cnjgdc
	♥ 11:06am NotARealDoctor: Virginia governor's race culminates this upcoming Tuesday as well! Don't forget to vote if you're in VA as well!
	♥ 11:07am Passaic River Blues: YES, TROUBLE, YES INDEED! Also, I would counsel all New Jerseyans to consider voting "yes" on both ballot measures (re library bonds and tying environmental damages awarded to NJ to actually being spent on environmental projects).
	♥ 11:07am NotARealDoctor: This slowed down voice is tripping me out though...
	11:11am heidiv: i do not like this
	11:17am Skott: I do like this, 2
	11:17am meredith: <3 Camera Obscura
	11:17am lazylinepainter: Love this song! Thanks, Trouble.
	11:18am Skott: Is Bobby Jameson still alive? He was on my FB for a while then dropped out a few years ago...
	11:18am pierre: J'adore Camera Obscura .
	11:21am KRYPT: Haha, Glasgow hairdressers, I am well familiar with this steez, :)
	11:24am riley: @Skott. Bobby Jameson passed 2015. His blogspot is still available and tells an extraordinary L.A. 60's tale. From alter ego Chris Lucey to almost Monkee to Curt Boettcher "Color Him In" production to an amazing internet self-penned testimonial.An amzing spirit and an equally amazing memory of 60s. A redemptive tale of music biz ripoffs and etc.
	♥ 11:26am Mick: Incredible show as always, Trouble. The Tate Modern 'Soul of a Nation' show looks amazing! Do you happen to know if some incarnation of that is coming to NY?
	11:30am Skott: Thanks Riley - ya Bobby was really inspiring guy, a total phoenix. I didn't know the almost-Monkee part.
	11:33am riley: @Skott. Yeah as far as I remember, he was the first to be brought into The Monkees saga, hanging with Davy Jones, introducing Mickey Dolenz and then eventually passing The Monkees and onto Steve Clark through which the Boettcher production actually crystallized versus his many shelved projects. I should have said semi-redemptive above as his clear minded memoir is sure filled with well-earned bitterness at the biz.
	♥ 11:34am Sem Chumbo: Always delight in this show, Trouble. Thank you, and see you and all next time around. May the rest of the day be filled with flowers for one & all.
	11:35am Warwick joe: Another excellent show. 3 hrs of choice cuts and wonderful dj banter (and bird sounds) Always making Thursday’s great.
	11:37am emily: My favorite book of Muriel Spark is "The Girls of Slender Means". I do love MS very much!
	11:38am judy from croton: I agree about m sparks. Prime of miss jb just wasn't that great. Same with my ab fave: iris murdoch. The Sea, The Sea her prizewinner? My least fave of her books.
	11:39am table_for_one: <3
	11:39am Skott: Trouble yer right DT more interested in division than multiplication
	11:39am Dean: Thanks for the reminder to read Muriel Spark. Really need to revisit her work.
	11:39am meredith: this will make me cry. in a good way. Thanks for keeping us connected @trouble
	♥ 11:40am Planet Tyler: Somehow Trouble makes the depressing political shite sound like an opportunity. Thanks you thank you
	11:40am riley: @Trouble. Dare I say This Modern World is sure a beautiful connected one! A boon!
	11:40am pp: yes on the heartfelt rant
	11:40am Ted: Man...sounds to sooth the aching soul. Great album and great song!
	11:41am NoMore: Please! No more politics!! Too bad no one was this concerned BEFORE the SHTF.
	11:41am Brian c: “Gotta find a new world” Al Green
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: true planet tyler, i do always look for a way out and i think this lack of governing and forward thinking will by default create a very new place for us to march to. i believe it will happen because loving humans will make it happen
	11:41am Chris from DC: Somehow I'm surprised Damon and Naomi haven't covered this John Cale. They would knock it out of the park.
	♥ 11:42am steveo: yay
	11:42am riley: Chris From DC, love that insight!
	11:43am judy from croton: Try The Bell by iris murdoch. Or The Nice and the Good.
	11:44am Skott: one warm spark very Portofino - so good
	♥ 11:45am steveo: Colleen is at Good Room in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on Wedesday Nov. 8th. www.songkick.com...
	11:45am Skott: @steveo thanks for the tip
	♥ 11:46am Trouble: ooo just finished jane gardam's bilgewater, was it you @judy who suggested that to me? i adore jane gardam
	11:46am riley: And happy to say Coleen will be in Asheville November 14th! Yay.
	11:47am judy from croton: @sem chumbo How is autumn up up north?
	♥ 11:48am Webhamster Henry: Our gamelan doesn't sound this Tom Waits-y.
	11:51am emily: I love, love, love "The Bell" by Iris Murdoch.
	♥ 11:53am Trouble: thanks for listening peeps. remember to vote!
	♥ 11:53am Passaic River Blues: Jane Gardam is pimp.
	♥ 11:54am Ike: I haven't read this, but it looks like it might be good, and I like the cover: www.amazon.com...
	♥ 11:59am Planet Tyler: @trouble, my hope is that a lot of lazy dems are geared up now to show up at the voting booths, all of them!
	11:59am Dean: I don't know who rec'd JG to you, Trouble, but I do know that you rec'd her to me!
	♥ 11:59am steveo: thank you trouble
	11:59am βrian: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan: wfmu.org...
	10:39pm Michael Valentine: I would strongly recommend playing Aphex Twin's "Powerpill" while listening to the Pac-Mac story.

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.

	♥ 9:54am The Oscar: Also, if they're called the Pac-People, Pac-Man seems like an unimaginative name. It's like naming your child "Human Male."
	9:56am sugarwolf: Running is not for fun, running is to get away from something/someone!
	♥ 9:56am Trouble: of course @peter!. how could it not be? i have never read a bad word written by david sedaris. I just finished rebecca west the fountain overflows, now on to clarice lispector, the hour of the star.
	9:56am queems: @steveo as you should
	♥ 9:57am steveo: ephemeron++
	♥ 9:58am ɨkɛ: There's no jumping in Pac-Man! Well, not traditional Pac-Man anyway. Not in Pac-Man Jr. either. Also not in Baby Pac-Man (the worst game ever invented), or Ms. Pac-Man, or Super Pac-Man....
	9:58am northguineahills: Dig the Siena piece.
	9:59am northguineahills: thanks for the nyt link!
	9:59am βrian: Are they thpeaking thpanish?
	♥ 10:00am Trouble: si @brian
	♥ 10:00am MD: AUDIO PORNO!!! " You Know Dude...the mind is the most erotic organ..."
	♥ 10:02am steveo: The Hammond B3 is the most erotic organ.
	10:06am mb: Hello Trouble and troubled people!
	10:08am meredith: com truise... the best name
	10:09am kwhitehead: Totally agree with you re: Darjeeling... His new animated feature looks tremendous though.
	10:10am Margolies Abulafia: i like that classic pronunciation of arkansas!
	10:11am BronwynB: hey trouble and troubled friends
	♥ 10:14am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	10:16am Itzall Ablurr: Wow, that barbara & ernie is mighty dang beautiful.
	10:17am northguineahills: @Margolies Abulafia: Ha! I noticed that too! :) @Itzall Ablurr: Tru dat!
	♥ 10:18am Sem Chumbo: Good morning, Trouble, and those living in the sometimes puzzling Modern World. Late to the show, still picking ripe tomatoes here. I know it's no biggy for the Garden State, but in Nova Scotia it is a rare bird indeed.
	10:18am northguineahills: New Linda Perhacs, w/ Julia Holter holy hosers!
	10:22am Itzall Ablurr: Yes, Barbara & Ernie; YET another Amazon/WFMU/Trouble induced impulse purchase.
	10:22am northguineahills: @Sem: I always wanted to visit Nuevo Escotia!
	♥ 10:23am Trouble: good for you sem chumbo. I am sad to say goodbye to tomato season
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: it's a gorgeous record @itzall ablurr, no regrets
	10:25am emily: Good morning Trouble and Thursday morning-teers! Post-Halloween bleh! Looking for the silver lining of the end of day(s)light saving time! Thanks for the music on the board of the Titanic!
	♥ 10:27am Trouble: good morning emily, we will pervail!
	10:27am northguineahills: Curtis!
	10:28am βrian: Wow, it's been about ten days since we harvested our last tomato here on the isthmus. Still, that's remarkably late.
	♥ 10:29am burrrrrr: 'morning trouble, thanks for the tunes
	♥ 10:30am steveo: DST: i'll be glad to have sunlight at 7 am, at least
	♥ 10:30am Sem Chumbo: NGH: our provincial greeting is "Tha deich mìle fàilte!", a nod to the Scots gaelic language of so many immigrants here. So, come ahead.
	10:31am Itzall Ablurr: Haha. Thank you for the validation Trouble, you little enabler, you!
	♥ 10:33am Sem Chumbo: FYI:"Tha deich mìle fàilte!" is "Ten thousand welcomes!"
	♥ 10:33am NotARealDoctor: Great playlist today, Trouble! Good morning everyone. Late checking in this morning, but I've been listening. Always makes my Thursday a little nicer.
	10:34am βrian: DST. That's a street drug, right? Makes some people narcoleptic.
	♥ 10:34am Trouble: gracias, @not a real doctor!
	♥ 10:35am steveo: inspired show today, Trouble; what's your secret?
	♥ 10:37am steveo: is that the Hammond I requested?
	10:38am βrian: Got any pithy reflections for us today, Trouble?
	♥ 10:43am Trouble: this is the tate museum show that this music is meant to accompany : www.nytimes.com...
	10:43am northguineahills: @Sem: My Scottish heritage is Scots rather then Highlander Gaelic (as far as records show). Gaelic (and all Celtic languages) is really hard for me to linguistically wrap my head around w/ the pronunciation. (written, it makes sense).
	10:44am northguineahills: oh, and Trouble, mad props for playing Mellow Candle!
	♥ 10:45am Trouble: sure do @brian, next week is election day!
	10:46am d. rice: Vote yer asses off everybody!
	♥ 10:47am psysci: can u vote mickey mouse for nyc mayor?
	♥ 10:48am Sem Chumbo: A welcome soul interlude. Lovely.
	♥ 10:50am Sem Chumbo: @ngh: yep, it is a mad tangle, alright. St. Ann's College, in Cape Breton, continues to offer courses in the language. Up until ~ 30 years ago, there were still native Gaelic speakers in Nova Scotia.
	10:53am riley: Bobby Jameson, the almost Monkee.
	♥ 10:54am psysci: makes me think of the whole catalunya thing now in spain
	10:55am northguineahills: @Sem: Yeah, I've read that Gaelic was a live language in NS, too bad only the old timers still maintained it.
	♥ 10:58am psysci: how many other cultures were erased?
	♥ 10:59am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm looking forward to my $4000 tax cut now. <eyeroll>
	11:02am northguineahills: @psyci: It's one of the reasons I love the work of organizations like the Endangered Languages Project. Thanks Trouble, Amanda Nazario on Give the Drummer Some. Gonna check her out, ciao!
	11:04am Roberto: Preach, sister Trouble!
	11:05am pierre: Bonjour Trouble and Troublians !
	11:05am Central NJ GDC: We don't have a democratic process. Don't vote. Organize. facebook.com/cnjgdc
	♥ 11:06am NotARealDoctor: Virginia governor's race culminates this upcoming Tuesday as well! Don't forget to vote if you're in VA as well!
	♥ 11:07am Passaic River Blues: YES, TROUBLE, YES INDEED! Also, I would counsel all New Jerseyans to consider voting "yes" on both ballot measures (re library bonds and tying environmental damages awarded to NJ to actually being spent on environmental projects).
	♥ 11:07am NotARealDoctor: This slowed down voice is tripping me out though...
	11:11am heidiv: i do not like this
	11:17am Skott: I do like this, 2
	11:17am meredith: <3 Camera Obscura
	11:17am lazylinepainter: Love this song! Thanks, Trouble.
	11:18am Skott: Is Bobby Jameson still alive? He was on my FB for a while then dropped out a few years ago...
	11:18am pierre: J'adore Camera Obscura .
	11:21am KRYPT: Haha, Glasgow hairdressers, I am well familiar with this steez, :)
	11:24am riley: @Skott. Bobby Jameson passed 2015. His blogspot is still available and tells an extraordinary L.A. 60's tale. From alter ego Chris Lucey to almost Monkee to Curt Boettcher "Color Him In" production to an amazing internet self-penned testimonial.An amzing spirit and an equally amazing memory of 60s. A redemptive tale of music biz ripoffs and etc.
	♥ 11:26am Mick: Incredible show as always, Trouble. The Tate Modern 'Soul of a Nation' show looks amazing! Do you happen to know if some incarnation of that is coming to NY?
	11:30am Skott: Thanks Riley - ya Bobby was really inspiring guy, a total phoenix. I didn't know the almost-Monkee part.
	11:33am riley: @Skott. Yeah as far as I remember, he was the first to be brought into The Monkees saga, hanging with Davy Jones, introducing Mickey Dolenz and then eventually passing The Monkees and onto Steve Clark through which the Boettcher production actually crystallized versus his many shelved projects. I should have said semi-redemptive above as his clear minded memoir is sure filled with well-earned bitterness at the biz.
	♥ 11:34am Sem Chumbo: Always delight in this show, Trouble. Thank you, and see you and all next time around. May the rest of the day be filled with flowers for one & all.
	11:35am Warwick joe: Another excellent show. 3 hrs of choice cuts and wonderful dj banter (and bird sounds) Always making Thursday’s great.
	11:37am emily: My favorite book of Muriel Spark is "The Girls of Slender Means". I do love MS very much!
	11:38am judy from croton: I agree about m sparks. Prime of miss jb just wasn't that great. Same with my ab fave: iris murdoch. The Sea, The Sea her prizewinner? My least fave of her books.
	11:39am table_for_one: <3
	11:39am Skott: Trouble yer right DT more interested in division than multiplication
	11:39am Dean: Thanks for the reminder to read Muriel Spark. Really need to revisit her work.
	11:39am meredith: this will make me cry. in a good way. Thanks for keeping us connected @trouble
	♥ 11:40am Planet Tyler: Somehow Trouble makes the depressing political shite sound like an opportunity. Thanks you thank you
	11:40am riley: @Trouble. Dare I say This Modern World is sure a beautiful connected one! A boon!
	11:40am pp: yes on the heartfelt rant
	11:40am Ted: Man...sounds to sooth the aching soul. Great album and great song!
	11:41am NoMore: Please! No more politics!! Too bad no one was this concerned BEFORE the SHTF.
	11:41am Brian c: “Gotta find a new world” Al Green
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: true planet tyler, i do always look for a way out and i think this lack of governing and forward thinking will by default create a very new place for us to march to. i believe it will happen because loving humans will make it happen
	11:41am Chris from DC: Somehow I'm surprised Damon and Naomi haven't covered this John Cale. They would knock it out of the park.
	♥ 11:42am steveo: yay
	11:42am riley: Chris From DC, love that insight!
	11:43am judy from croton: Try The Bell by iris murdoch. Or The Nice and the Good.
	11:44am Skott: one warm spark very Portofino - so good
	♥ 11:45am steveo: Colleen is at Good Room in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on Wedesday Nov. 8th. www.songkick.com...

	11:47am judy from croton: @sem chumbo How is autumn up up north?
	♥ 11:48am Webhamster Henry: Our gamelan doesn't sound this Tom Waits-y.
	11:51am emily: I love, love, love "The Bell" by Iris Murdoch.

	♥ 11:53am Passaic River Blues: Jane Gardam is pimp.
	♥ 11:54am Ike: I haven't read this, but it looks like it might be good, and I like the cover: www.amazon.com...
	♥ 11:59am Planet Tyler: @trouble, my hope is that a lot of lazy dems are geared up now to show up at the voting booths, all of them!
	11:59am Dean: I don't know who rec'd JG to you, Trouble, but I do know that you rec'd her to me!
