	9:39am Itzall Ablurr: This particular staccato-song bird is super distracting and runs roughshod over your interesting commentary. That bird probably listens to Felder.

	9:41am Anna Anna Anna: listening in from Amherst mass, Emily says that she's a little offended

	9:54am JakeGould: Muriel Spark kinda looks like my mom. Just saying!
	9:56am emily: good morning! love the muriel spark tribute! just tuned in. had an early morning windsor terrace food coop stint. must stock the shelves, dontcha know!

	10:01am northguineahills: what Nick S. said....
	10:03am thedunkel: You guys crushed montclair!
	10:05am Linda Lee: @emily ~ you remind me of long-ago days stocking the shelves at the community co-op in Asheville NC. could be worse! :-)
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: @the dunkel: true, we did
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: @thedunkel: but they also held back their epee stars so that they would be primed for their all states match today against CBA
	10:16am mb: hello DJ Trouble and all the good people!
	10:19am Itzall Ablurr: "Below The Stars" is sublime.
	10:28am Linda Lee: must say i do love the morning transition from Clay to Trouble. talk about sublime. :-)
	♥ 10:29am Trouble: merci @linda lee!
	10:35am northguineahills: Alec Cheer, new to me and digging. Production a little clean for my tastes (for finger-picking good tunes), but I can overlook it.
	10:35am Linda Lee: thank you Trouble! :-)
	♥ 10:35am steveo: aptly named fellow
	10:36am Dean: I knew it was Spark. Well, was pretty sure.
	10:37am Linda Lee: shamed to say I'm unfamiliar with Spark's work, though i'm no book-slouch.. just haven't taken the time. i'm encouraged to read her now!
	10:38am Linda Lee: wow, just look at that misplaced apostrophe. gosh.
	10:39am Dean: The misplaced apostrophe, @Linda Lee, in this case is all the difference between "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and "Number One Song in Heaven."
	♥ 10:46am Trouble: @lindalee: fixed it!
	10:47am Linda Lee: this Cocteau Twins was my very favorite track for years. haven't heard it in aeons! nice. :-) @Trouble ~ wow, thanks. :-)
	10:47am northguineahills: I somehow missed the cocteau twins bbc sessions. Thanks!
	10:48am Linda Lee: @Dean ~ yes indeed. one potential fave vs one old fave :-)
	10:48am StuBot: such a chill effin show this morning, kudos.
	10:49am StuBot: youre on fire!
	♥ 10:50am Trouble: merci@stubot!
	10:50am Dean: Dots just connected, a "Duh!" moment. The show's slogan, the photo. Duh.
	10:51am Dean: Can we hope for an Anita Brookner show down the road?
	10:51am StuBot: thank YOU! Making WFMU Great again! I think I threw up a little there.
	10:51am Linda Lee: love Anita Brookner.
	♥ 10:52am Trouble: that would be fabulous wouldn't it @dean!
	10:52am Linda Lee: i see a nice niche forming :-)
	10:53am Dean: Indeed. I've read most--but not all--of her novels, and somewhere at home I have one of her scholarly works, art history. She was a treasure.
	♥ 10:57am Trouble: wow@dean! i just looked at her list and I am waaaaay behind in my anita consumption. need to read more, work less
	♥ 10:57am Trouble: @dean, have you read mavis gallant? she's pretty fab!
	10:58am Linda Lee: (pulls out small notebook)
	♥ 10:59am Trouble: www.scribd.com...
	10:59am northguineahills: This angel rada sounds like a Morr music recs comp from the noughts... lovely!
	10:59am Dean: @Trouble, I read some of Gallant's short stories when they were collected, maybe during the '90s? Need to revisit her, too. But presently I'm reading Sir Walter Scott's "Waverly"--a far cry from Brookner, Spark, and Gallant--with Virginia Woolf's "The Waves" on deck. No, I'm not reading in alphabetical order by title.
	♥ 11:00am steveo: anyone else think that bird was a baby human?
	11:01am βrian: Oh, just in time for the oiseaaux!
	11:02am Lixiviated Life: I'd like a fantasy world please.
	11:02am Linda Lee: at first, that was a baby human. then the cries went melodic :-)
	11:02am northguineahills: angel is pronounced, "an-hell". (your french crushes mine, though.)
	♥ 11:02am steveo: reminded me of revolution 9 also
	11:03am βrian: It's good for an impressive debt load which means you have to seek lucre über alles.
	♥ 11:04am eveostay: the baby before john starts the goat yells
	11:05am βrian: Rufus & Chaka Khan: "Tell Me s/t Good"
	11:05am Dean: Went to law school not necessarily to become a lawyer, and I didn't, though I took the bar just 'cuz. At the time and place I attended, the student body was majority female, and in fact I served all three years on the women's law review. It was one of the best experiences of the education.
	11:05am Lixiviated Life: For the record, I am not lovely. but thank you
	11:05am slowbear: state rep
	11:10am Dean: Spark (at that scribd link above): "People should read more poetry..." This was my response to 9/11, I kid you not.
	♥ 11:13am Trouble: MErci. i wondered about that @north guinea hills. I have met so many latinos named angel pronounced in english, but i knew it wasn't correct
	11:14am Itzall Ablurr: Unlike, say, "JESUS"...
	♥ 11:15am eveostay: Since playlists began, it seems like Fabio and Clay are the only djs to play the original revolution 9 on air; also joe belock did a whole white album covers show in 2008 which i want to listen to, but definitely not now because Trouble, you are on the money today.
	11:15am emily: whoa, trouble! esg sounds like you or you sound like esg!
	11:15am emily: cover this esg song for the marathon!
	11:16am northguineahills: I have a friend in Monterrey, Mexico (from the band Antiguo Automatico Mexicano) named Angel. (Main reason I know, that and the wife correcting me).
	♥ 11:17am Trouble: hha! perfection @emily! i am not singing this year, giving someone else a turn at the histrionics
	11:19am emily: awww! say it aint so. no earth movin' stuff!
	♥ 11:20am Passaic River Blues: A Trouble performance should inaugurate every marathon show.
	11:21am northguineahills: nice krauty goodness from I marc 4, new to me, digdug!
	♥ 11:22am Trouble: i wasn't feeling a song @ emily, so if i don't feel it, i pass. But ESG is a great idea for the future!!
	♥ 11:22am Trouble: BONJOUR @ Passaic river blues! you are soooooo kind for that major care package! wowza wowza!
	♥ 11:23am Priscilla: Heard Merrill Garbus has been DJing in LA
	11:27am northguineahills: this jaguwar comes off very Curish, much likey!
	11:28am Websie: I find the UK pronunciation of 'jaguar' hilarious, so good name.
	♥ 11:29am Passaic River Blues: @NGH: I think that I Marc 4 song is another DJ's occasional bed music. Fabio's? @Trouble: No problem! Mailing people books is one of my chief pleasures in life. Thank you for delivering sonic, visual, and literary beauty on a weekly basis!
	♥ 11:30am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: Oh, and birds, too!
	11:35am βrian: Birds? Says my cat, "Hope is the thing with feathers ..."
	♥ 11:35am melinda: Nice version!
	♥ 11:37am eveostay: i've never done anything out of the blue
	11:37am exile-on-hicks-street: This is awesome.
	11:38am exile-on-hicks-street: And for British “Jaguar” fans... check out “The Who Sell Out” (deluxe ed.)
	♥ 11:41am Greg from ZONE 5: LOVE this!
	♥ 11:42am Sem: Wanted to say thanks, Trouble, for reminding me it's about time to read Ms. Sparks' autobiography. My regional library found me a copy up in Cape Breton , and will be sending it along shortly.
	11:43am JakeGould: Oh wow, a positive mention of Bay Ridge!
	11:43am northguineahills: ok. haven't heard this Joe Bataan, nice nyc pride!
	♥ 11:43am Trouble: excellent @ sem! i should read it too. i loved the penelope fitzgerald autobiography, really informed my adoration of her novels
	11:45am JakeGould: So good! spanglishfly.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 11:45am ⓘⓚⓔ: Cool lyrics. Even though the B train goes to neither Bay Ridge nor Bushwick, I'll give Joe the benefit of the doubt and assume he can tell Bay Ridgers and Bushwickians on sight, not just because they got on or off at a particular stop.
	11:46am Bill W: the B was probably re-routed
	♥ 11:46am steveo: love that Battan with the ellington cherry on top; wow such good show (also B careful the B only runs till 9pm or something)
	11:47am northguineahills: Jake, doing the universe's good work!
	♥ 11:48am steveo: *Bataan
	11:48am JakeGould: The B train never went to Bay Ridge. When the B was what was now the D it still only went as deep as 36th Street before veering to Coney Island. And the B train nowadays just goes over the Brighton Beach line. Bay Ridge is only one train R… Also known as the “R”arely. The “N” train can get you close as an express but it’s nickname is the “N”ever.
	11:49am northguineahills: I've seen a B train on the G train route, so, it's possible.
	♥ 11:50am steveo: but the party people are going places on the D train
	11:52am Chris from DC: Trying to fit in seeing Lake Ruth tonight, cool.
	11:52am JakeGould: @steveo: Yeah, nothing says “party” like 9th Avenue in Borough Park.
	11:53am northguineahills: @Jake: Lultz!
	♥ 11:53am Michael 98145: thanks for the musics, DJ Trouble
	♥ 11:54am ɛɨk: @NGH, holy cod, now that's a reroute. I have no idea how a B would even get over there. That's the MTA for ya.
	11:54am exile-on-hicks-street: A colleague had worked on Jaguar acct (advertising) and the clients insisted that their agencies pronounced the brand as “JAG-ewer”. There was training.
	11:55am northguineahills: lake ruth's voice reminds me of Trish Keenan from Broadcast.
	11:55am JakeGould: @Ike: I think they did that last Spring where literally nobody knew what the fuck train went where. I think I saw an F on the B that then went on the M line once.
	11:56am exile-on-hicks-street: Have to split - @Trouble, you’ve been anything but that today. <3 your show.
	11:56am northguineahills: @ike: I was at the Classon stop, and I was blinking in astonishment, myself, and was afraid to get on, not knowing where it would go...
	11:56am JakeGould: I will say this… The B63 bus is pretty great. And if you get one of those buses with the USB charging ports and WiFi? Holy crap! It’s like you are living in the modern world!
	♥ 11:59am Trouble: thanks for celelbrating mUriel spark's 100 birthday! cheerio! next week i will be here with author david goodwin!
	♥ 11:59am steveo: thank you thank you trouble trouble; i have muchly enjoyed the things that you have played today and I'm sorry if I talked too much when I could have been listening more intently
	12:00pm JakeGould: Thanks Trouble!
	12:00pm βrian: Meghan: wfmu.org...

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.

	9:59am Nick S.: Kompakt label is flawless! Love those Pop Ambient comps.
	10:01am northguineahills: what Nick S. said....
	10:03am thedunkel: You guys crushed montclair!
	10:05am Linda Lee: @emily ~ you remind me of long-ago days stocking the shelves at the community co-op in Asheville NC. could be worse! :-)
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: @the dunkel: true, we did
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: @thedunkel: but they also held back their epee stars so that they would be primed for their all states match today against CBA
	10:16am mb: hello DJ Trouble and all the good people!
	10:19am Itzall Ablurr: "Below The Stars" is sublime.
	10:28am Linda Lee: must say i do love the morning transition from Clay to Trouble. talk about sublime. :-)
	♥ 10:29am Trouble: merci @linda lee!
	10:35am northguineahills: Alec Cheer, new to me and digging. Production a little clean for my tastes (for finger-picking good tunes), but I can overlook it.
	10:35am Linda Lee: thank you Trouble! :-)
	♥ 10:35am steveo: aptly named fellow
	10:36am Dean: I knew it was Spark. Well, was pretty sure.
	10:37am Linda Lee: shamed to say I'm unfamiliar with Spark's work, though i'm no book-slouch.. just haven't taken the time. i'm encouraged to read her now!
	10:38am Linda Lee: wow, just look at that misplaced apostrophe. gosh.
	10:39am Dean: The misplaced apostrophe, @Linda Lee, in this case is all the difference between "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and "Number One Song in Heaven."
	♥ 10:46am Trouble: @lindalee: fixed it!
	10:47am Linda Lee: this Cocteau Twins was my very favorite track for years. haven't heard it in aeons! nice. :-) @Trouble ~ wow, thanks. :-)
	10:47am northguineahills: I somehow missed the cocteau twins bbc sessions. Thanks!
	10:48am Linda Lee: @Dean ~ yes indeed. one potential fave vs one old fave :-)
	10:48am StuBot: such a chill effin show this morning, kudos.
	10:49am StuBot: youre on fire!
	♥ 10:50am Trouble: merci@stubot!
	10:50am Dean: Dots just connected, a "Duh!" moment. The show's slogan, the photo. Duh.
	10:51am Dean: Can we hope for an Anita Brookner show down the road?
	10:51am StuBot: thank YOU! Making WFMU Great again! I think I threw up a little there.
	10:51am Linda Lee: love Anita Brookner.
	♥ 10:52am Trouble: that would be fabulous wouldn't it @dean!
	10:52am Linda Lee: i see a nice niche forming :-)
	10:53am Dean: Indeed. I've read most--but not all--of her novels, and somewhere at home I have one of her scholarly works, art history. She was a treasure.
	♥ 10:57am Trouble: wow@dean! i just looked at her list and I am waaaaay behind in my anita consumption. need to read more, work less
	♥ 10:57am Trouble: @dean, have you read mavis gallant? she's pretty fab!
	10:58am Linda Lee: (pulls out small notebook)
	♥ 10:59am Trouble: www.scribd.com...
	10:59am northguineahills: This angel rada sounds like a Morr music recs comp from the noughts... lovely!
	10:59am Dean: @Trouble, I read some of Gallant's short stories when they were collected, maybe during the '90s? Need to revisit her, too. But presently I'm reading Sir Walter Scott's "Waverly"--a far cry from Brookner, Spark, and Gallant--with Virginia Woolf's "The Waves" on deck. No, I'm not reading in alphabetical order by title.
	♥ 11:00am steveo: anyone else think that bird was a baby human?
	11:01am βrian: Oh, just in time for the oiseaaux!
	11:02am Lixiviated Life: I'd like a fantasy world please.
	11:02am Linda Lee: at first, that was a baby human. then the cries went melodic :-)
	11:02am northguineahills: angel is pronounced, "an-hell". (your french crushes mine, though.)
	♥ 11:02am steveo: reminded me of revolution 9 also
	11:03am βrian: It's good for an impressive debt load which means you have to seek lucre über alles.
	♥ 11:04am eveostay: the baby before john starts the goat yells
	11:05am βrian: Rufus & Chaka Khan: "Tell Me s/t Good"
	11:05am Dean: Went to law school not necessarily to become a lawyer, and I didn't, though I took the bar just 'cuz. At the time and place I attended, the student body was majority female, and in fact I served all three years on the women's law review. It was one of the best experiences of the education.
	11:05am Lixiviated Life: For the record, I am not lovely. but thank you
	11:05am slowbear: state rep
	11:10am Dean: Spark (at that scribd link above): "People should read more poetry..." This was my response to 9/11, I kid you not.
	♥ 11:13am Trouble: MErci. i wondered about that @north guinea hills. I have met so many latinos named angel pronounced in english, but i knew it wasn't correct
	11:14am Itzall Ablurr: Unlike, say, "JESUS"...
	♥ 11:15am eveostay: Since playlists began, it seems like Fabio and Clay are the only djs to play the original revolution 9 on air; also joe belock did a whole white album covers show in 2008 which i want to listen to, but definitely not now because Trouble, you are on the money today.
	11:15am emily: whoa, trouble! esg sounds like you or you sound like esg!
	11:15am emily: cover this esg song for the marathon!
	11:16am northguineahills: I have a friend in Monterrey, Mexico (from the band Antiguo Automatico Mexicano) named Angel. (Main reason I know, that and the wife correcting me).
	♥ 11:17am Trouble: hha! perfection @emily! i am not singing this year, giving someone else a turn at the histrionics
	11:19am emily: awww! say it aint so. no earth movin' stuff!
	♥ 11:20am Passaic River Blues: A Trouble performance should inaugurate every marathon show.
	11:21am northguineahills: nice krauty goodness from I marc 4, new to me, digdug!
	♥ 11:22am Trouble: i wasn't feeling a song @ emily, so if i don't feel it, i pass. But ESG is a great idea for the future!!
	♥ 11:22am Trouble: BONJOUR @ Passaic river blues! you are soooooo kind for that major care package! wowza wowza!
	♥ 11:23am Priscilla: Heard Merrill Garbus has been DJing in LA
	11:27am northguineahills: this jaguwar comes off very Curish, much likey!
	11:28am Websie: I find the UK pronunciation of 'jaguar' hilarious, so good name.
	♥ 11:29am Passaic River Blues: @NGH: I think that I Marc 4 song is another DJ's occasional bed music. Fabio's? @Trouble: No problem! Mailing people books is one of my chief pleasures in life. Thank you for delivering sonic, visual, and literary beauty on a weekly basis!
	♥ 11:30am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: Oh, and birds, too!
	11:35am βrian: Birds? Says my cat, "Hope is the thing with feathers ..."
	♥ 11:35am melinda: Nice version!
	♥ 11:37am eveostay: i've never done anything out of the blue
	11:37am exile-on-hicks-street: This is awesome.
	11:38am exile-on-hicks-street: And for British “Jaguar” fans... check out “The Who Sell Out” (deluxe ed.)
	♥ 11:41am Greg from ZONE 5: LOVE this!
	♥ 11:42am Sem: Wanted to say thanks, Trouble, for reminding me it's about time to read Ms. Sparks' autobiography. My regional library found me a copy up in Cape Breton , and will be sending it along shortly.
	11:43am JakeGould: Oh wow, a positive mention of Bay Ridge!
	11:43am northguineahills: ok. haven't heard this Joe Bataan, nice nyc pride!
	♥ 11:43am Trouble: excellent @ sem! i should read it too. i loved the penelope fitzgerald autobiography, really informed my adoration of her novels
	11:45am JakeGould: So good! spanglishfly.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 11:45am ⓘⓚⓔ: Cool lyrics. Even though the B train goes to neither Bay Ridge nor Bushwick, I'll give Joe the benefit of the doubt and assume he can tell Bay Ridgers and Bushwickians on sight, not just because they got on or off at a particular stop.
	11:46am Bill W: the B was probably re-routed
	♥ 11:46am steveo: love that Battan with the ellington cherry on top; wow such good show (also B careful the B only runs till 9pm or something)
	11:47am northguineahills: Jake, doing the universe's good work!
	♥ 11:48am steveo: *Bataan
	11:48am JakeGould: The B train never went to Bay Ridge. When the B was what was now the D it still only went as deep as 36th Street before veering to Coney Island. And the B train nowadays just goes over the Brighton Beach line. Bay Ridge is only one train R… Also known as the “R”arely. The “N” train can get you close as an express but it’s nickname is the “N”ever.
	11:49am northguineahills: I've seen a B train on the G train route, so, it's possible.
	♥ 11:50am steveo: but the party people are going places on the D train
	11:52am Chris from DC: Trying to fit in seeing Lake Ruth tonight, cool.
	11:52am JakeGould: @steveo: Yeah, nothing says “party” like 9th Avenue in Borough Park.
	11:53am northguineahills: @Jake: Lultz!
	♥ 11:53am Michael 98145: thanks for the musics, DJ Trouble
	♥ 11:54am ɛɨk: @NGH, holy cod, now that's a reroute. I have no idea how a B would even get over there. That's the MTA for ya.
	11:54am exile-on-hicks-street: A colleague had worked on Jaguar acct (advertising) and the clients insisted that their agencies pronounced the brand as “JAG-ewer”. There was training.
	11:55am northguineahills: lake ruth's voice reminds me of Trish Keenan from Broadcast.
	11:55am JakeGould: @Ike: I think they did that last Spring where literally nobody knew what the fuck train went where. I think I saw an F on the B that then went on the M line once.
	11:56am exile-on-hicks-street: Have to split - @Trouble, you’ve been anything but that today. <3 your show.
	11:56am northguineahills: @ike: I was at the Classon stop, and I was blinking in astonishment, myself, and was afraid to get on, not knowing where it would go...
	11:56am JakeGould: I will say this… The B63 bus is pretty great. And if you get one of those buses with the USB charging ports and WiFi? Holy crap! It’s like you are living in the modern world!
	♥ 11:59am Trouble: thanks for celelbrating mUriel spark's 100 birthday! cheerio! next week i will be here with author david goodwin!
	♥ 11:59am steveo: thank you thank you trouble trouble; i have muchly enjoyed the things that you have played today and I'm sorry if I talked too much when I could have been listening more intently
	12:00pm JakeGould: Thanks Trouble!
	12:00pm βrian: Meghan: wfmu.org...
