	9:01am annie: yay, i made it!! good morning dale and trouble! and melinda!
	9:02am Jason: Fantastic Plastic Machine!? Wow, that brings back memories. Thanks!
	9:02am Wild Neil: Peace all. I dropped out of art school (Syracuse U.) and Architecture School (Cooper Union) and I think I have pretty good taste. I REALLY love this painting/drawing because it is almost abstract in many ways but it is figurative. I dislike about 90% of the art I see anymore, but I love stuff that tries to be figurative. Have a good Pearl Harbor day folks.
	9:03am Wild Neil: Now I am a mechanical engineer who draws with his son a bit....

	♥ 9:19am dale: and how DO you spell his name? i see it all different ways. "non ne me dis pas adieu" from his 68 record on philips is brilliant. and of course the stuff he did with the faces.
	♥ 9:21am The Oscar: Slammed with work this morning, but popping in to say hi! Anyone ever see the Liam Neeson-style Hong Kong revenge thriller Johnny Hallyday starred in maybe ten years ago?
	9:24am Adrian in London: @TheOscar No. sounds... interesting. He was great in L'Homme du Train.
	9:25am Papayo: K Leimer is a good musician and savant his project with Robert Carlberg
	♥ 9:27am dale: oscar - never seen him act, but there's a western he was in i'd like to find.

	♥ 9:30am steveo: i dropped out of engineering school, but I also have excellent taste!
	9:31am Fermatseye: Very nice vibes this morning, thank you trouble!
	9:32am sugarplumfairywolf: The other month I was looking through our customer database and found a Jean-Philippe and Laeticia Smet!!! RIP Johnny Hallyday.
	♥ 9:36am steveo: This plant journey is great Trouble; I've never heard this. I also thought of you when I heard about Hallyday.
	♥ 9:37am dale: sugarplumfairywolf - do you sell cool black leather pants?
	♥ 9:37am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble!
	9:38am AZDave: I heard the sad news about Johnny from an unexpected quarter -- Becky during last night's show. Have been awaiting your tribute ever since, Trouble.
	♥ 9:39am Ken From Hyde Park: Thor and his mighty hammer Mjolnir bid you a good day.
	9:39am northguineahills: You're leaving us in suspense, who's today's (visual) artist?
	9:40am queems: gilmore girls didn't age well. it's terrible to rewatch it today
	9:40am Peter in SEA: Watched the 1st Ep of Mrs. Maisel last night! Pretty good so far! Don't tell too much! :-)
	♥ 9:40am melinda: I didn't get why the Gilmore Girls was so popular.
	9:40am Shagalov: Miss you @Trouble, to listen online! ♡
	9:40am Papayo: and hello from spain :)
	♥ 9:41am melinda: I like the art.
	9:42am mistercaz: where did you first see the phrase "suck it and see?"
	♥ 9:42am Trouble: artist today is charles e burchfield. he has a small show up at montclair museum, about his weather paintings: magical.
	9:43am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble!
	9:44am northguineahills: I had a friend who abhorred pop culture but for some reason was gaga over the gilmore girls.
	♥ 9:44am dale: burchfield art center is on elmwood in buffalo!
	9:44am queems: i keep meaning to go to the montclair art museum. my boyfriend lives a couple blocks away
	♥ 9:45am melinda: I like Burchfield but would not have guessed this was his. A friend of mine also reported that the Montclair show was great.
	9:46am mistercaz: "suck it & see" was a graffiti phrase on the walls of the tenement in the film Clockwork Orange. (Kubrick). dystopian urban-ish or..
	♥ 9:47am melinda: The one bit of Gilmore Girls I saw seemed like it was trying to hard to make the characters seem clever, conversing in a way people don't in real life.
	♥ 9:47am steveo: i should definitely buy a trombone. interesting mistercaz; looks like you stumped us :)
	♥ 9:50am steveo: I really like this ; from dave nelson's bandcamp: "Another set of improvised music using trombone and analog pedals. Each track is a first take improvisation that starts simply and develops organically into a fully realized composition. This is the first music ever recorded in my studio in upstate New York. Inspired by West African music and classical minimalism, these pieces stretch out and develop a little more slowly than previous works for a more expansive and trance-like feel."
	♥ 9:53am Sem Chumbo: Hello, and bom dia, Trouble, and Modern Worlders, from the now-sunny and warm shores of the mighty Bay of Fundy.
	♥ 9:54am Sem Chumbo: Persuasive love talk should always be accompanied by soulful flute playing. NB: current spin.
	♥ 9:55am Trouble: bom dia sem chumbo. I love saying bom dia. much better than good morning.
	10:01am βrian: I'd fancy Mr Burchfield had more than one mushroom met.
	10:01am Itzall Ablurr: Bomb the day to you then, Trouble. and oh why whiskey, why?... (late night paying the cost this morning)
	10:02am βrian: I love how some French singers pop off their consonants like springboards.
	10:03am kevlicki: Morning trouble and all! Enjoying the set on my slowly rising morning. We’re having a “holiday sale” and book launch at Interference archives new space this Saturday If your out in Brooklyn come by http://interferencearchive.org/holiday-sale-and-open-house/ Oh and speaking of art and brooklyn , the Ahmed Mater and Richard Longo work at Brooklyn Museum of art is perception altering. Both of them are a kilt “scale”in their own ways
	♥ 10:03am Greg from ZONE 5: Belated cheers on that version of "I'll Take Manhattan". WOWZA!
	10:03am βrian: @Itzall: "Whisky and pain both taste the same ..."
	10:04am herb.nyc: Just tuned in. Cool French song. Re art- Howlfest in e village tonight honors Tomato du Plenty, r.i.p.
	10:04am kevlicki: Whoops, it’s Robert Longo, excuse my tired face. I was up late listening to Wake and Bake
	♥ 10:04am melinda: Burchfield paintings are kinda trippy, but from what I remember reading in his journals I got the impression he was trying desperately to capture feelings he got from his environment without psychedelic enhancement.
	♥ 10:04am steveo: play some off youtube?
	10:05am Itzall Ablurr: Dear βrian, haha. Yeah. But both are so delicious... at first.
	10:08am Wild Neil: Interesting how he makes the night real black right around the moon.....
	10:08am Itzall Ablurr: Hah! Not to mention the oft used "Big In Japan" trope. Another cultural "filter" for, well, everything is "The South". Form groups and discuss.
	♥ 10:10am listener Rey: I would buy that Fania reissue. Maybe get them to reissue all of their Harvito's album too
	♥ 10:11am Trouble: whitney.org...
	♥ 10:11am Planet Tyler: Charles Birchfield...Buffalo...what did I miss? I worked with his prints up there a little bit. Buffalo is 8 hrs away btw :)
	♥ 10:12am JtotheK: great baby washington track. hi trouble, hi everyone.
	♥ 10:12am steveo: buffalo is about 40 hours by bicycle, but you can take the erie canal path
	10:12am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Trouble, in my opinion you are not talking enough. Your dulcet tones seem to be soothing my throbbin' noggin' this a.m. AND the music too.
	♥ 10:13am Sem Chumbo: @βrian: I am reminded by @10:03 of a line from Rescue Me. Dennis Leary has parked illegally and a cop is giving him a ticket. Leary, drunk---it's season 1 or 2---checks the cop's name tag, and sees the man is Jewish. Things get heated, Leary invokes 9/11 and firemen, and the cop stops him right there: "You know the difference between Jewish guilt and Irish guilt?" he asks. Leary shakes his head. "Whisky."
	10:15am Stevel: Home, alone, working later. It's a great luxury to have uninterrupted Trouble. Deciding whether or not to rake leaves in our first dusting of snow in Fort Wayne. Might need another cup and/or smoke to figure it out. Talk all you want, but the selections are right on, this morning.
	10:18am Wild Neil: @Stevel-you could do what I did. Get a Stihl (or Husqvarna) leaf shredder vac, make tons of eco friendly mulch for your flower beds, garden and compost heap. Its free! The Shredder Vac runs about $200 from your local Stihl dealer. Don't get one from Home Depot, you get better service from a real dealer.
	10:19am emily: good morning!
	10:19am northguineahills: That sounds like a fun ride, steveo! Orlando Julius!
	♥ 10:22am Trouble: bonjour emily! how was saturday's sale?
	10:23am emily: Terrible (how do you say that in French?)
	10:24am Wild Neil: Kubrick was a very gifted photographer who became a very gifted perfectionisitic workaholic director.
	10:25am Brendan: Hi Trouble ... re: weather and painting...... after the big Krakatoa eruption in 1883, skies and notably , sunsets were dramatically affected for a number of years. The Royal Society has a collection of sunset paintings before and after almost daily spanning a number of years and its a cool record of how the world was altered. It is thought that one of these sunsets inspired Munch’s ‘The Scream’
	♥ 10:27am melinda: I like old hip hop that raps to the beat.
	10:27am Stevel: Wild Neil: That's a great idea, especially since I live in town. The city actually picks up leaves, twice over the season, and composts them for use by the parks department. Still, I lack soil additives. I also have some space for a controlled compost set up. I've considered this design. For under $100, I should probably just buy one. https://www.google.com/search?q=compost+bin&client=firefox-b-1&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj5md7lmvjXAhUJYyYKHZwJBpsQ_AUIEigC&biw=375&bih=545#imgrc=2TsnKhg6tqtRgM:
	10:28am Stevel: That's one ugly URL.
	♥ 10:28am adampsyche: the story of krakatoa is one of the most amazing books i've ever read. you could hear the blast 3k miles away!
	♥ 10:30am steveo: another new bin "hit"!
	♥ 10:30am Trouble: tha's very cool, thanks brendan!
	10:33am PKNY: Wow, haven't heard this LL track in a looong time!
	10:33am Stevel: Go Trouble go!
	10:34am northguineahills: Yeah, what PKNY said!
	♥ 10:36am NotARealDoctor: Hearing tracks like this bring back fond childhood memories. <3
	10:37am InBrkly: Krakatoa was good. Simon Winchester's other books are all worth a read.
	♥ 10:37am NotARealDoctor: That is the LL Cool J track, not the three degrees track...
	♥ 10:37am Planet Tyler: Just to talk politics for a moment since it involves our fave guv. Christie just said he was fired from trump's team because he warned them about Flynn. Interesting I thought.
	♥ 10:38am JtotheK: great three degrees tune.
	10:40am queems: i miss this daft punk
	10:40am JakeGould: Late to the party. Robert Gober’s work freaks me out. Lots of limbs.
	10:40am northguineahills: Classic Daft Punk!
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: planet tyler: plese don't listen to a word the deposed king has to say. he is an ace at saving his fat @#s
	♥ 10:42am steveo: my coworkers are probably wondering why i am oscillating in my chair
	10:44am jt: This was the "ish" when this came out i had an advanced copy direct from Paris.., so I was pretty advanced.. then we saw Daft Punk at Twilo, it was historic evening, the place to be really at that moment.
	10:45am Brendan: That daft punk would make a great ring tone / EAS
	♥ 10:46am Tiago from Portugal: Hi Trouble, please keep the volume down, there are people tryning to work :)
	♥ 10:48am Greg from ZONE 5: I have been listening to this song NON-STOP lately!!!
	♥ 10:48am steveo: someone throw some water on the dj she is on fire
	10:49am βrian: But there are also people trying NOT to work.
	♥ 10:50am Trouble: can you feel it?
	♥ 10:50am adampsyche: looooove this song
	♥ 10:51am Planet Tyler: @Trouble - O i know! It's interesting either way thou. Or maybe I mean "funny."
	10:54am sphere (from app): Hey Trouble, an ebook on bird smarts (The Genius of Birds by Jennifer Ackerman) is on sale today at various Net merchants.
	10:55am WO Town Wick: Great show--love this Marius Cutler.
	10:56am mary: a great show!!! in at le juan love so will listen to the early at archive later I can feel it!
	10:58am herb.nyc: @kevlicki - ibeen to Interference Archive once. Yr a vg group. - Saturday, down the street from you is old electronix sale by EWaste (?), part of the lower E. Side Ecology Center.
	10:59am Will: Hey it's a cover of "Exploitation" originally written and performed by one of the "most criminally overlooked" band of all time, Local Heroes SW9!
	♥ 11:02am Trouble: merci @ mary!
	11:04am βrian: I want to roll my Rs à l'Espagnol, too.
	11:05am jt: Peace maker!
	♥ 11:06am melinda: "videotaping"...heehee
	11:07am leti in moz: Worldstarrr
	♥ 11:07am steveo: the atari 2600 video pinball bird!
	11:10am sugarplumfairywolf: Speaking of instagram, have you seen rockandrollsweatervest?
	♥ 11:11am Trouble: omg @ melinda, am i sad or what? can you tell i went to grad school for video? o the early 2000's where have you gone?
	11:11am sugarplumfairywolf: All your favorite 70s rock stars wearing sweater vests!
	♥ 11:11am Trouble: o yes @ sugar plumfairy wolf i most certainly have! superb!!!
	11:18am Mister Dobalina: Signed in just to say that this track sounds good. Thanks!
	♥ 11:24am Trouble: merci @mister dobalina
	♥ 11:25am Priscilla: Forgot it was Thursday! Love Burchfield & loved Mrs. Maisel.
	♥ 11:26am Trouble: hoping you have all seen this already:www.youtube.com... put it up on my facebook page: this is the modern world with trouble
	11:26am Doug at his Desk: Doing a lot of research on Japanese companies at this very moment, the music could not have been more appropriate.
	11:27am Itzall Ablurr: "Even A Tree" is my new favorite daily play record. All 4 sides are GOLD.
	11:27am northguineahills: It seems like everything on Even a Tree Can Shed Tears is drop dead jaw dropping amazing!
	11:29am Leelee: Signed in to thank you Trouble, for that Trump v Talking heads vid link! And this: Mr. BOB Dobalina?! :)
	11:30am Shagalov: now is very fairytale atmosphere! Masato Minami - Like!
	11:31am Itzall Ablurr: Agreed, northguineahills. And I experienced a little local pride when I saw that the beautiful cover and assorted materials were designed by an Atlanta graphics guy I know.
	11:36am northguineahills: Sweet, Itzall Ablurr!
	♥ 11:36am Priscilla: OMG Trouble, great Trump/Talking Heads video

	♥ 11:46am melinda: @queems me too. Then I went and googled some skeptic stuff and it made me feel better. Next week will be interesting.
	♥ 11:47am Tiago from Portugal: thanks for the video link Trouble, Amazing. @Webhamster: or the portuguse word for UFO...which is ... OVNI!
	11:47am queems: @melinda i MIGHT be too creeped out to listen next week. but i probably will anyway

	9:40am Papayo: and hello from spain :)
	♥ 9:41am melinda: I like the art.
	9:42am mistercaz: where did you first see the phrase "suck it and see?"
	♥ 9:42am Trouble: artist today is charles e burchfield. he has a small show up at montclair museum, about his weather paintings: magical.
	9:43am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble!
	9:44am northguineahills: I had a friend who abhorred pop culture but for some reason was gaga over the gilmore girls.
	♥ 9:44am dale: burchfield art center is on elmwood in buffalo!
	9:44am queems: i keep meaning to go to the montclair art museum. my boyfriend lives a couple blocks away
	♥ 9:45am melinda: I like Burchfield but would not have guessed this was his. A friend of mine also reported that the Montclair show was great.
	9:46am mistercaz: "suck it & see" was a graffiti phrase on the walls of the tenement in the film Clockwork Orange. (Kubrick). dystopian urban-ish or..
	♥ 9:47am melinda: The one bit of Gilmore Girls I saw seemed like it was trying to hard to make the characters seem clever, conversing in a way people don't in real life.
	♥ 9:47am steveo: i should definitely buy a trombone. interesting mistercaz; looks like you stumped us :)
	♥ 9:50am steveo: I really like this ; from dave nelson's bandcamp: "Another set of improvised music using trombone and analog pedals. Each track is a first take improvisation that starts simply and develops organically into a fully realized composition. This is the first music ever recorded in my studio in upstate New York. Inspired by West African music and classical minimalism, these pieces stretch out and develop a little more slowly than previous works for a more expansive and trance-like feel."
	♥ 9:53am Sem Chumbo: Hello, and bom dia, Trouble, and Modern Worlders, from the now-sunny and warm shores of the mighty Bay of Fundy.
	♥ 9:54am Sem Chumbo: Persuasive love talk should always be accompanied by soulful flute playing. NB: current spin.
	♥ 9:55am Trouble: bom dia sem chumbo. I love saying bom dia. much better than good morning.
	10:01am βrian: I'd fancy Mr Burchfield had more than one mushroom met.
	10:01am Itzall Ablurr: Bomb the day to you then, Trouble. and oh why whiskey, why?... (late night paying the cost this morning)
	10:02am βrian: I love how some French singers pop off their consonants like springboards.
	10:03am kevlicki: Morning trouble and all! Enjoying the set on my slowly rising morning. We’re having a “holiday sale” and book launch at Interference archives new space this Saturday If your out in Brooklyn come by http://interferencearchive.org/holiday-sale-and-open-house/ Oh and speaking of art and brooklyn , the Ahmed Mater and Richard Longo work at Brooklyn Museum of art is perception altering. Both of them are a kilt “scale”in their own ways
	♥ 10:03am Greg from ZONE 5: Belated cheers on that version of "I'll Take Manhattan". WOWZA!
	10:03am βrian: @Itzall: "Whisky and pain both taste the same ..."
	10:04am herb.nyc: Just tuned in. Cool French song. Re art- Howlfest in e village tonight honors Tomato du Plenty, r.i.p.
	10:04am kevlicki: Whoops, it’s Robert Longo, excuse my tired face. I was up late listening to Wake and Bake
	♥ 10:04am melinda: Burchfield paintings are kinda trippy, but from what I remember reading in his journals I got the impression he was trying desperately to capture feelings he got from his environment without psychedelic enhancement.
	♥ 10:04am steveo: play some off youtube?
	10:05am Itzall Ablurr: Dear βrian, haha. Yeah. But both are so delicious... at first.
	10:08am Wild Neil: Interesting how he makes the night real black right around the moon.....
	10:08am Itzall Ablurr: Hah! Not to mention the oft used "Big In Japan" trope. Another cultural "filter" for, well, everything is "The South". Form groups and discuss.
	♥ 10:10am listener Rey: I would buy that Fania reissue. Maybe get them to reissue all of their Harvito's album too
	♥ 10:11am Trouble: whitney.org...
	♥ 10:11am Planet Tyler: Charles Birchfield...Buffalo...what did I miss? I worked with his prints up there a little bit. Buffalo is 8 hrs away btw :)
	♥ 10:12am JtotheK: great baby washington track. hi trouble, hi everyone.
	♥ 10:12am steveo: buffalo is about 40 hours by bicycle, but you can take the erie canal path
	10:12am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Trouble, in my opinion you are not talking enough. Your dulcet tones seem to be soothing my throbbin' noggin' this a.m. AND the music too.
	♥ 10:13am Sem Chumbo: @βrian: I am reminded by @10:03 of a line from Rescue Me. Dennis Leary has parked illegally and a cop is giving him a ticket. Leary, drunk---it's season 1 or 2---checks the cop's name tag, and sees the man is Jewish. Things get heated, Leary invokes 9/11 and firemen, and the cop stops him right there: "You know the difference between Jewish guilt and Irish guilt?" he asks. Leary shakes his head. "Whisky."
	10:15am Stevel: Home, alone, working later. It's a great luxury to have uninterrupted Trouble. Deciding whether or not to rake leaves in our first dusting of snow in Fort Wayne. Might need another cup and/or smoke to figure it out. Talk all you want, but the selections are right on, this morning.
	10:18am Wild Neil: @Stevel-you could do what I did. Get a Stihl (or Husqvarna) leaf shredder vac, make tons of eco friendly mulch for your flower beds, garden and compost heap. Its free! The Shredder Vac runs about $200 from your local Stihl dealer. Don't get one from Home Depot, you get better service from a real dealer.
	10:19am emily: good morning!
	10:19am northguineahills: That sounds like a fun ride, steveo! Orlando Julius!
	♥ 10:22am Trouble: bonjour emily! how was saturday's sale?
	10:23am emily: Terrible (how do you say that in French?)
	10:24am Wild Neil: Kubrick was a very gifted photographer who became a very gifted perfectionisitic workaholic director.
	10:25am Brendan: Hi Trouble ... re: weather and painting...... after the big Krakatoa eruption in 1883, skies and notably , sunsets were dramatically affected for a number of years. The Royal Society has a collection of sunset paintings before and after almost daily spanning a number of years and its a cool record of how the world was altered. It is thought that one of these sunsets inspired Munch’s ‘The Scream’
	♥ 10:27am melinda: I like old hip hop that raps to the beat.
	10:27am Stevel: Wild Neil: That's a great idea, especially since I live in town. The city actually picks up leaves, twice over the season, and composts them for use by the parks department. Still, I lack soil additives. I also have some space for a controlled compost set up. I've considered this design. For under $100, I should probably just buy one. https://www.google.com/search?q=compost+bin&client=firefox-b-1&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj5md7lmvjXAhUJYyYKHZwJBpsQ_AUIEigC&biw=375&bih=545#imgrc=2TsnKhg6tqtRgM:
	10:28am Stevel: That's one ugly URL.
	♥ 10:28am adampsyche: the story of krakatoa is one of the most amazing books i've ever read. you could hear the blast 3k miles away!
	♥ 10:30am steveo: another new bin "hit"!
	♥ 10:30am Trouble: tha's very cool, thanks brendan!
	10:33am PKNY: Wow, haven't heard this LL track in a looong time!
	10:33am Stevel: Go Trouble go!
	10:34am northguineahills: Yeah, what PKNY said!
	♥ 10:36am NotARealDoctor: Hearing tracks like this bring back fond childhood memories. <3
	10:37am InBrkly: Krakatoa was good. Simon Winchester's other books are all worth a read.
	♥ 10:37am NotARealDoctor: That is the LL Cool J track, not the three degrees track...
	♥ 10:37am Planet Tyler: Just to talk politics for a moment since it involves our fave guv. Christie just said he was fired from trump's team because he warned them about Flynn. Interesting I thought.
	♥ 10:38am JtotheK: great three degrees tune.
	10:40am queems: i miss this daft punk
	10:40am JakeGould: Late to the party. Robert Gober’s work freaks me out. Lots of limbs.
	10:40am northguineahills: Classic Daft Punk!
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: planet tyler: plese don't listen to a word the deposed king has to say. he is an ace at saving his fat @#s
	♥ 10:42am steveo: my coworkers are probably wondering why i am oscillating in my chair
	10:44am jt: This was the "ish" when this came out i had an advanced copy direct from Paris.., so I was pretty advanced.. then we saw Daft Punk at Twilo, it was historic evening, the place to be really at that moment.
	10:45am Brendan: That daft punk would make a great ring tone / EAS
	♥ 10:46am Tiago from Portugal: Hi Trouble, please keep the volume down, there are people tryning to work :)
	♥ 10:48am Greg from ZONE 5: I have been listening to this song NON-STOP lately!!!
	♥ 10:48am steveo: someone throw some water on the dj she is on fire
	10:49am βrian: But there are also people trying NOT to work.
	♥ 10:50am Trouble: can you feel it?
	♥ 10:50am adampsyche: looooove this song
	♥ 10:51am Planet Tyler: @Trouble - O i know! It's interesting either way thou. Or maybe I mean "funny."
	10:54am sphere (from app): Hey Trouble, an ebook on bird smarts (The Genius of Birds by Jennifer Ackerman) is on sale today at various Net merchants.

	11:26am Doug at his Desk: Doing a lot of research on Japanese companies at this very moment, the music could not have been more appropriate.
