	9:35am themutante: Late to the party, but this track is gorgeous!
	9:35am TDK60: Out of so many great LPs, Sly & Robbie's backing on Black Uhuru's 'Sinsemilla' is just mesmerizing.
	9:37am Linda Lee: wow .. brilliant throwback to 'i only have eyes for you'. lovely!
	9:37am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Krys O, i sent you an email request, have a question about a political remark you made on Wake N Bake I thought was mind-provoking and wanted to know more.
	9:39am Itzall Ablurr: I finally saw the long out-of-print Prince concert film "Sign O The Times" last weekend on a streaming(Showtime) service. HOLY crap. Totally blew me away. Catch it if you can, it's amazing.
	9:39am Linda Lee: the first singing voice i recognized as a child. Nat Cole!
	9:39am Linda Lee: ha! clearly not Nat Cole! :-D
	9:40am Ralphine: I thought it was Nat Cole for a LONG time.
	9:40am Linda Lee: an imitation of Nat? :-D
	9:40am Itzall Ablurr: imitation of nat?
	9:40am TDK60: Never seen that, Ablurr. Prince is amazing. // Fooled me too, thought it was Nat at first.
	9:40am Itzall Ablurr: JINX!
	9:41am Linda Lee: brilliant minds, honey! :-D
	9:41am still b/p: Nat King Clone.
	9:41am Linda Lee: hahaha! need to check. maybe earl came first. :-D
	♥ 9:43am Mick: Itzall: agreed re. Sign o' the Times - SO good, one of my fave concert films.
	9:43am mb: T-R-O-U-B-L-E !!
	9:43am Linda Lee: checked: they were singing & recording at the same time.
	9:45am Linda Lee: what a beautiful set this morning, Trouble! clearing the heebie jeebies for sure. thank you!
	9:47am TDK60: Jon Hassell here? or an inflluence? Either way, nice.
	9:48am northguineahills: @TDK60: I was thinking the same thing!
	♥ 9:48am Dominick: ow wah ow wah ow wah
	9:48am Linda Lee: Hassell's in the title of the tune. so, reference.
	9:50am Lewis: John Waters has a terrific Christmas comp...
	♥ 9:50am tom from Glasgow: Nat Prince Cole
	♥ 9:50am melinda: I like John Waters' compilations.
	9:51am Linda Lee: will always be thankful to Mr. Waters for the concept of 'good bad taste' :-)
	♥ 9:51am melinda: @Lewis agree!
	9:51am emily: But also, Earl Grant must have been chosen because the film was about imitation--you wouldn't want Nat King Cole because he was the real.
	♥ 9:51am Passaic River Blues: @Lewis: "Santa Claus Is a Black Man" is the only Christmas song my wife permits to be played in our apartment. @Melinda: they're all so good.
	9:52am Ralphine: Earl Grant wanted the money.
	♥ 9:54am Artie: I do love the Blue Hawaiians and Esquivel Christmas records.
	♥ 9:54am melinda: I like that John Waters is an unabashed fan of the Chipmunks.
	9:54am Linda Lee: i treasure that man, honestly.
	9:55am sinner: More book reviews!
	♥ 9:55am Jay Goges: THE ROCKFORD FILES!
	9:55am Itzall Ablurr: JIM!
	♥ 9:55am melinda: This is one of the best TV themes ever.
	♥ 9:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and troubled masses.
	9:56am Itzall Ablurr: Love it. Rick Wakeman meets The Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
	9:56am Linda Lee: really love soundtracks, movie themes, tv themes. especially from my golden adolescence in the 70s :-D
	9:56am sphere: hello folks! i like my entrance music. :)
	♥ 9:56am Trouble: o go to the front of the calss@emily! good analysis!!!
	9:56am Roberto: My dad broke his rib while filming a RF episode in '76. He was in severe pain all summer.
	♥ 9:56am Trouble: @melinda: agreed!!!!!
	9:57am Lewis: @ßrian - recognize this...? www.fastcompany.com...
	9:57am Cooh John: at the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
	♥ 9:57am melinda: I started watching Rockford Files a few years ago and took a break because the Netflix streaming is addictive, but it would be fun to watch again.
	9:57am Linda Lee: what did he do, Roberto?
	♥ 9:57am melinda: @sphere haha!
	9:57am sphere: I'm also very fond of the Magnum PI theme (which is also by Mike Post).
	♥ 9:57am Trouble: wow! close to jim rockford moment here....obrigado @roberto
	9:57am JakeGould: Trouble! Just turned on the app stream at work and “The Rockford Files” pops up. THANK YOU!!!
	9:57am Roberto: He fell on the arm of a chair while blocking out a scene.
	9:58am Ralphine: I inhaled a peanut while watching an RF episode in '78. Wasn't in pain for very long.
	9:58am ben abs: I also mostly enjoyed the idiot - I found it strange (in a good way) how dated it already seems although it was written 10yrs ago or something. Her lamentations on relationships and interaction were very thought provoking imo
	9:58am sphere: But then again, what TV theme ISN'T by Mike Post?
	9:59am Linda Lee: fell on the arm of a chair.. ? gosh!
	10:00am Roberto: Also, James Garner once pulled over to tell my mom to turn on her headlights when she was driving at night.
	10:01am Linda Lee: he was right! ;-)
	♥ 10:01am melinda: @sphere good point. One of my other favorites is the Taxi theme by Bob James.
	10:01am Linda Lee: betcha got a chick on the side, sure nuff.
	10:02am Roberto: Goodnight, Mr. Walters!
	10:04am Linda Lee: these talented black ladies dressed like the Andrews Sisters were a revelation. pointer sisters!
	10:05am PKNY: It's gotta be the Headhunters backing up the Pointer Sisters here, super funky!
	♥ 10:05am Mick: Damn, this song! I am gonna get caught chair dancing.
	10:05am Linda Lee: is that what i'm doing, Mick? :-D
	10:06am Itzall Ablurr: Mick, not if you get up offa' that thang!
	♥ 10:06am tuner fish: Awesome set!
	♥ 10:06am steveo: night court? barney miller? (am I telegraphing my age?) (chair dancing is healthy)
	10:06am Linda Lee: amazing .. record..
	10:09am Linda Lee: a night, a dog? :-D
	♥ 10:09am melinda: @steveo yes. Although I don't remember Night Court theme for some reason.
	10:09am karen eliot: Hello! This set is purrfect.
	♥ 10:09am steveo: (both composed [or co-composed] by Jack Elliot, who also did Charlie's Angels)
	10:10am Linda Lee: missing the Pointers on the playlist there, Trouble! sorry. :-)
	10:11am Roberto: I saw Bob James and Earl Klugh in concert around '80. They played the Taxi theme (AKA "Angela").
	10:11am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Rita sounds like Nico to me.
	10:11am themutante: This is another. What a tune!
	10:12am Linda Lee: oh dear. Nico? really? way more range here!
	10:13am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Linda Lee-you have a point there. That one passage still sounded like Nico to me though.
	10:13am Linda Lee: Nico's work was lovely, but she didn't have much range.
	10:13am Linda Lee: hmmm
	♥ 10:15am steveo: enjoying this show greatly (shocking, right?)
	10:15am Linda Lee: have to listen again & see if i can pick up what you heard.
	♥ 10:15am Trouble: thanks@linda lee
	10:16am Linda Lee: brava! :-)
	10:16am Linda Lee: thank you!
	10:18am Linda Lee: loving 'student night'. cheers me up enormously.
	10:20am Linda Lee: how am i hearing both PiL & Eddie Money in one mope grooves track? :-D
	♥ 10:21am Mick: Eddie Money cover tucked in there?
	10:21am queems: I GOT 2 TICKETS 2 PARADISE
	10:22am nolongercomments_toughcrowd: What Linda Lee, mick, and queems said
	10:22am Linda Lee: how ya doin' there queems?
	10:24am queems: @linda hanging in! running around the office a lot today. how are you?
	10:26am Linda Lee: i'm hangin in too. recovering! ;-)
	10:26am EG_Astro: I think I could listen to that song on repeat today. So thankful I get internet in the back storage closet where I'm stuck working today.
	10:27am Linda Lee: i'm glad you do too, EG_Astro!
	10:29am Itzall Ablurr: Shanté you stay/Sashay away
	10:30am Linda Lee: really resist moving from the stream today! this is so good.
	10:31am EG_Astro: thanks!
	10:34am sphere: one thing WFMU did for me is to open the wide world of electronica for me. i didn't realize house could work for me until I heard house without diva vocals, and the rest followed.
	10:35am Linda Lee: FMU is an incredible resource for reasons just like that.
	10:35am Itzall Ablurr: Now there is a Mexican dude removing the door to my office (long, stupid story) whilst I am blasting "You're My Honey Bee". He seems OK with it.
	10:35am Linda Lee: he'd better bee :-D
	10:37am northguineahills: We need more apiarists....
	♥ 10:38am coelacanth∅: even i'm okay with it. there's something happening but i don't know what it is...
	10:38am Linda Lee: we do indeed. & we also need to stop supporting businesses that sell plants contaminated with pesticides!
	10:39am βrian: I had friends in VT who were into bee-sting therapy. A lot of brave bees died in their cause.
	10:40am northguineahills: I always dance like no one's looking, b/c I'm that smooth.... :)
	10:41am Linda Lee: good news for those who believe we're touched by planets' vibrations: Mercury Retrograde ends this weekend, meaning we'll begin communicating more easily & we can avoid hurtful, pointless debate! thank heaven!
	10:41am Itzall Ablurr: Right on, Linda Lee! It's so easy to do the right thing when making those choices.
	10:42am Robert Tables: Thank you, volunteers!
	10:42am Itzall Ablurr: re; pesticides. The other topic, not as easy...
	10:42am EG_Astro: oooo a lil' segment about phones/phonecalls someday
	10:43am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Going to Poland in July! WOO HOO!!!
	10:43am Linda Lee: thanks for clarifying! :-)
	10:44am Linda Lee: information is the key. we're not always aware of what we're doing, without it.
	10:44am Linda Lee: Agree with Trouble about Labelle & the Pointers! Queens forever.
	♥ 10:45am Passaic River Blues: Elliot Gould!
	♥ 10:45am melinda: The Long Goodbye?
	♥ 10:46am Passaic River Blues: That is one of the best Robert Altman movies ever!
	♥ 10:46am Hughie Considine: The Long Goodbye - Robert Altman
	♥ 10:46am Walt: The Long Goodbye
	10:46am sugarplumfairywolf: The Long Goodbye?
	10:46am Roberto: The Long Goodbye? It's one of my daughter's faves.
	10:46am Lucky: The Long Goodbye!
	10:46am emily: We all chime in "The Long Goodbye"
	♥ 10:46am melinda: I love movies with that LA vibe too.
	10:46am Fanboy: Hi Trouble: The DJ who remixed EBTG's Missing was Todd Terry not Todd Edwards -- it was called the Todd Terry Club Mix
	10:46am Lucky: Rockford Files dialogue is great!
	10:46am Roberto: Lolz lots of love for The Long Goodbye
	10:46am Linda Lee: the long response ... :-D
	♥ 10:47am Hughie Considine: My parents saw the movie, and my mom was appalled by a scene where a bad guy breaks a bottle on a woman's face.
	♥ 10:47am Trouble: yes! thanks @linda and passaic!
	♥ 10:47am melinda: Wait, no, I think it might have been the Short Farewell.
	♥ 10:47am Hughie Considine: Of course she came right home and told me about it.
	10:47am Scott in Tokyo: Maybe the long goodbye? That Elliott Gould movie is one of my favorites...
	♥ 10:47am Trouble: oooops@fanboy: merci!
	10:47am sphere: Long Goodbye is an adaptation of a Chandler book featuring Philip Marlowe.
	10:47am Linda Lee: @melinda ~ LOL
	♥ 10:48am melinda: California Split was another good one.
	♥ 10:48am steveo: 73 degrees tomorrow in Greater Jersey City!
	10:48am Linda Lee: Trouble, i came in on a bummer today & you helped me out of it. thank you my dear!
	10:48am sugarplumfairywolf: I saw Elliott Gould being interviewed in the Hoboken train station a few years ago
	10:49am still b/p: Re location& period: When I’m seeing NY in a movie, I like real pre-80s NY.
	10:49am northguineahills: Holy smithereens, Bobby Bland!
	10:49am Roberto: I loved that Maltese Falcon sendup with George Segal when I was a kid. The Black Bird.
	♥ 10:49am Trouble: yes@ sphere! philip marlowe! i had sam spade on the mind since i just re-watched gosford park by robert allman. a flawless who dunnit and upstairsdownstairs version analysis. soooo great.
	10:49am northguineahills: Did anyone mention it was the Long Goodbye w/ Elliot Gould, yet?
	10:50am Roberto: I saw Elliott Gould at my parents' house once but that's a story for another day.
	10:51am Linda Lee: still b/p: have you seen the video series "Fun City- Dirty Old New York"? clips of New York in films from the 70s & 80s, organized by theme. really lovely. the city really was a major character in films of that time. in just a minute I'll find the details. it's really enjoyable.
	10:51am Jeff Moore: You watch The Rockford Files for James Garner's portrayal of Jim Rockford's world-weary yet somehow still good humored really low expectations of how the world will treat him and others. And yes, that loose and seedy LA vibe.
	10:52am Warwick joe: The long goodbye is the the better version of Paul Thomas Anderson’s inherent vice. It’s practically the same movie. Sterling Hayden in one of his best roles.
	10:52am Linda Lee: still b/p: here we are: vimeo.com...
	♥ 10:53am Hughie Considine: Sterling Hayden...so many great roles. "Suddenly" "Strangelove" "The Killing" ...
	10:53am Scott in Tokyo: My band in Tokyo wrote a song about that movie the long goodbye. Elliott Gould is such an amazing actor in that film https://thebignothingtokyo.bandcamp.com/track/faded
	10:53am Linda Lee: thanks Scott! must hear it!
	10:54am Jeff Moore: @Trouble: haven't watched Gosford Park since its initial release. Thanks for reminding me I should re-view.
	10:54am still b/p: Haven’t seen it, Linda. Yes, please point, thanks.
	♥ 10:54am Passaic River Blues: My favorite dingy 70s L.A. movie is "California Split", also by Altman and also stars Gould with George Segal. In the final scenes, Segal staring into the middle distance seized with sudden knowledge as to the meaningless of effort/exertion/passion/mania/etc.--oh man, that always kills me.
	10:55am Linda Lee: still b/p: it's really 60s, 70s, 80s. i love watching the series because i grew up there in the late 60s - 70s. what a dynamic film location!! vimeo.com...
	10:56am Warwick joe: @Passaic going to put that in my watchlist. Thanks.
	10:57am northguineahills: Thanks Scott!
	10:57am still b/p: Just dropped friend at bus this morning for a NY trip. Envy for engagement-with-NY opp.
	10:58am northguineahills: oh, and thanks for the Desmond Dekker, Trouble!
	10:58am northguineahills: @ still b/p: Shopping for air tix to NYC for a trip in June.
	10:59am βrian: Saw the Joe Frank documentary last night, which was very good. But for some reason they had the audio level set to the threshold of pain.
	10:59am Linda Lee: hope you can get there soon. i haven't been there myself in .. 5 years ~ after living there for most of my life. alas it's no longer the city i remember. so dynamic, always changing, like it or not!
	11:00am Jeff Moore: @Warwick joe: I do like the dreamlike quality of Inherent Vice, which isn't to say it in any way supersedes earlier films to which is it similar.
	11:00am still b/p: Spring and fall good for city visit. Xmas OK. August.... not so much.
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: no way! @sugarplumfw~!!!
	11:00am Linda Lee: @northguineahills ~ if you can avoid going during tourist season (summer), you're better off, price wise. & frankly autumn is the prettiest time there, in my opinion. not so hot & crowded!
	11:02am northguineahills: @Linda Lee: I haven't seen my wife since Feb, and I haven't been to NYC since Aug 2016.
	11:02am Linda Lee: she's there now?
	11:02am northguineahills: (but she's coming down here in Aug as well).
	11:03am Linda Lee: hmm .. can you get down in May? tickets will be easier to get & less money, i'm sure.
	11:03am Linda Lee: plus you get down sooner! :-)
	♥ 11:05am Passaic River Blues: @Warwick Joe: I used to have the DVD but handed it off to a cousin years ago. Haven't seen it in a minute, but it's still got a hold of me. Also, big ups to Orange County, now and forever. If people liked Pynchon's "Inherent Vice", I'd also recommend "Crybaby of the Western World" by John Leonard, my favorite old NYBR critic. It's pretty much a direct blood relation of "Inherent Vice" (we're talking only a few alleles off) but was actually written and published in 67-69.
	11:07am northguineahills: @Linda Lee, Memorial Day weekend is too expensive, but maybe I'll look at the week before.
	11:08am Warwick joe: @jeffery Moore I’ve seen IV several times and it just doesn’t grip me like his other films. The master and phantom thread are really superb. The latter being such a refined film for PTA. IV just missed the mark for me.
	11:11am r i s k y: Oh Arthur! How I love Arthur Russell so
	11:11am Lucky: I thought this was Lonnie Holley at first.
	11:11am Linda Lee: yes ~ Memorial Day weekend starts the season, so you'll definitely be best off earlier, if you can manage it.
	11:11am northguineahills: what r i s k y said!
	11:16am northguineahills: syl!!!!!!
	11:16am themutante: Ali G theme song.
	11:17am still b/p: I also thought it was like Lonnie Holley redirected... or before or after he was full Lonnie Holley.
	♥ 11:19am Guido from Cologne: sampled by Cypress Hill I guess. great song!
	11:22am Peter in SEA: Good Morning Trouble & Troubleistas: Did you see the Tarisa show at MOMA Trouble? Just joining out here...:-) Spring Break!
	11:22am themutante: The funniest thing in America right now is the Alt-Shite's complaining about the pain and struggle of the white man.
	♥ 11:23am melinda: @Jeff "loose and seedy" is a great description.
	11:24am themutante: Can't get enough of that Cernovich, Molyneux et al jazz.
	11:24am lori: the white guilt is strong in this one. hey trouble, you know the problem with crucifying yourself? you can never get the fourth nail in.
	11:25am themutante: Ha! Nice one, @lori
	11:25am themutante: Oh, like this!
	11:26am northguineahills: @lori: I ain't Filipino, and it ain't Easter.! /nice one, I chortled!
	♥ 11:26am steveo: baroccocco is a great title
	♥ 11:27am steveo: i thought there was one nail for both feet
	♥ 11:28am steveo: ok lol "The exact number of Holy Nails has been a matter of theological debate for centuries." --wikipedia
	11:28am lori: only in the movies....
	11:29am northguineahills: ..but syl wasn't wrong....
	♥ 11:29am steveo: 4 makes more sense for the joke, obv'ly
	11:29am themutante: Preach, @NGH
	♥ 11:30am steveo: also obv'ly
	♥ 11:30am melinda: I missed the song in question and now I've got to split. Thanks Trouble!
	11:31am northguineahills: That show was amazing, Trouble!
	11:33am northguineahills: For the uninitiated about Easter in the Philippines: www.telegraph.co.uk...
	♥ 11:33am NotARealDoctor: WHAT?! DJ Trouble! I had to log back in just to tell you that you should check out your local video rental place! They're dying without customers who love to watch movies!
	11:33am βrian: The Netflix UI is a complete train wreck. I do my discovery elsewhere, then go to netflix with a particular title in mind.
	♥ 11:34am Mick: Brutalist Alphaville moment = brilliant read of Journal Square
	♥ 11:34am !ke: More interesting books I probably don't have time for: www.audible.com... www.audible.com...
	11:34am themutante: Tap out after that second Kong.
	♥ 11:34am NotARealDoctor: There are some great video rental places in NYC and in the Jersey City area!
	♥ 11:34am steveo: @ngh I passed a good friday parade in brooklyn, but I'm pretty sure the jesus was not a real human
	♥ 11:35am Passaic River Blues: @Ike: I'm about a 1/5th of the way into Powers' "The Overstory". Really good so far--thank you for the tip!
	♥ 11:36am steveo: @PRB me too! (but 2/5); really great, so far; moving
	♥ 11:36am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: Junot Diaz is reading from his children's book at the Newark Public Library Main Branch. I'll be working but looks cool.
	♥ 11:36am NotARealDoctor: I've never been there, but I hear that Video Free Brooklyn is amazing!
	♥ 11:37am ♪ke: @PRB & @steveo, cool! I'll have to move that one up higher on my personal list.
	11:37am paul: sounds good, love from Madrid! xp
	11:38am Itzall Ablurr: Video rental stores, the new vinyl
	♥ 11:38am NotARealDoctor: Google tells me that if you're in Manhattan you should check out The Video Room
	11:39am northguineahills: I do the same, βrian.
	♥ 11:39am Passaic River Blues: @Steveo: Nice! I agree--it's got me so far. It's my second Powers ("Orfeo" was the first and it was fantastic), so I'll probably have to keep mining that vein.
	11:40am northguineahills: When I go back to NYC, I'm renewing my NY Public Library card so I can stream movies from them.
	♥ 11:40am NotARealDoctor: And if you're ever down in my area, you need to check out the Naro Expanded Video Archival Library, previously the Naro Expanded Cinema Video, with over 42k DVDs and VHSs you're not missing anything that Netflix has to offer
	11:40am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I borrow my DVDs from the library, its free.
	♥ 11:42am steveo: my first Powers & thank you for the tip on Orfeo
	♥ 11:42am Trouble: wow! that's crazy @ passaic river blues. I didn't even know he wrote a children's book? who took out the swear words?
	♥ 11:44am NotARealDoctor: @Wild Neil, that's a terrific way to do it if you don't have a local video rental store, too
	♥ 11:45am NotARealDoctor: The best part about renting DVDs in person is that you get to interact with other humans who are film buffs too and can learn your tastes and offer other things you might like WAY better than Netflix ever can
	11:45am Mister Dobalina: Thanks for this, I could definitely use some Dub right now!!!! BIG UP!
	♥ 11:46am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: hahaha It's called "Islandborn"--probably will be something I get nieces/nephews/friends' spawn. The reading/book signing is tonight at 6: npl.org...
	♥ 11:48am Ken From Hyde Park: @WN - That's where I get my DVDs from, the local library. Works great.

	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the hour, Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org... (Nice artwork there, too.)
	♥ 11:55am Passaic River Blues: Thank you as always, Trouble!
	11:55am northguineahills: outside of WFMU, I prefer minimal influence of my aesthetic preferences. Y'all, I trust!
	11:56am Ben Abs: Faaanks trouble
	11:56am still b/p: Just got a message from different friend off to NY to see Broadway Bruce! Awwwww, everybody goin’ t’ the city ‘crot me!
	11:57am still b/p: “Crot”....? Auto correct oddity of the day. Supposed to be “‘cept.”
	11:58am Linda Lee: dear me, what is 'crot'?
	11:58am northguineahills: hablando en espanol still does the trick in getting telemarketers/scammers to hang up the phone. bonus, I can use expletives, and they usually have no clue.
	11:59am themutante: Cheers, Trouble!
	11:59am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am steveo: oh it's time; thanks trouble!

	♥ 12:00pm Mick: What Linda Lee said - best mood I've been in in days!
	12:00pm northguineahills: Lucky Icepack!
	3:44pm catherine marcial: HiTrouble - Great minds think alike -I just just finished reading "The Possessed" this morning -enjoyed it thoroughly - total coincidence

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.

	9:37am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Krys O, i sent you an email request, have a question about a political remark you made on Wake N Bake I thought was mind-provoking and wanted to know more.
	9:39am Itzall Ablurr: I finally saw the long out-of-print Prince concert film "Sign O The Times" last weekend on a streaming(Showtime) service. HOLY crap. Totally blew me away. Catch it if you can, it's amazing.
	9:39am Linda Lee: the first singing voice i recognized as a child. Nat Cole!
	9:39am Linda Lee: ha! clearly not Nat Cole! :-D
	9:40am Ralphine: I thought it was Nat Cole for a LONG time.
	9:40am Linda Lee: an imitation of Nat? :-D
	9:40am Itzall Ablurr: imitation of nat?
	9:40am TDK60: Never seen that, Ablurr. Prince is amazing. // Fooled me too, thought it was Nat at first.

	9:51am Linda Lee: will always be thankful to Mr. Waters for the concept of 'good bad taste' :-)
	♥ 9:51am melinda: @Lewis agree!
	9:51am emily: But also, Earl Grant must have been chosen because the film was about imitation--you wouldn't want Nat King Cole because he was the real.
	♥ 9:51am Passaic River Blues: @Lewis: "Santa Claus Is a Black Man" is the only Christmas song my wife permits to be played in our apartment. @Melinda: they're all so good.

	♥ 9:56am Trouble: @melinda: agreed!!!!!

	9:57am Cooh John: at the tone leave your name and message, I'll get back to you.
	♥ 9:57am melinda: I started watching Rockford Files a few years ago and took a break because the Netflix streaming is addictive, but it would be fun to watch again.
	9:57am Linda Lee: what did he do, Roberto?
	♥ 9:57am melinda: @sphere haha!
	9:57am sphere: I'm also very fond of the Magnum PI theme (which is also by Mike Post).

	9:58am Ralphine: I inhaled a peanut while watching an RF episode in '78. Wasn't in pain for very long.
	9:58am ben abs: I also mostly enjoyed the idiot - I found it strange (in a good way) how dated it already seems although it was written 10yrs ago or something. Her lamentations on relationships and interaction were very thought provoking imo
	9:58am sphere: But then again, what TV theme ISN'T by Mike Post?
	9:59am Linda Lee: fell on the arm of a chair.. ? gosh!
	10:00am Roberto: Also, James Garner once pulled over to tell my mom to turn on her headlights when she was driving at night.
	10:01am Linda Lee: he was right! ;-)

	10:01am Linda Lee: betcha got a chick on the side, sure nuff.
	10:02am Roberto: Goodnight, Mr. Walters!
	10:04am Linda Lee: these talented black ladies dressed like the Andrews Sisters were a revelation. pointer sisters!

	♥ 10:06am tuner fish: Awesome set!
	♥ 10:06am steveo: night court? barney miller? (am I telegraphing my age?) (chair dancing is healthy)
	10:06am Linda Lee: amazing .. record..
	10:09am Linda Lee: a night, a dog? :-D

	10:10am Linda Lee: missing the Pointers on the playlist there, Trouble! sorry. :-)
	10:11am Roberto: I saw Bob James and Earl Klugh in concert around '80. They played the Taxi theme (AKA "Angela").
	10:11am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Rita sounds like Nico to me.
	10:11am themutante: This is another. What a tune!
	10:12am Linda Lee: oh dear. Nico? really? way more range here!
	10:13am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Linda Lee-you have a point there. That one passage still sounded like Nico to me though.
	10:13am Linda Lee: Nico's work was lovely, but she didn't have much range.
	10:13am Linda Lee: hmmm
	♥ 10:15am steveo: enjoying this show greatly (shocking, right?)
	10:15am Linda Lee: have to listen again & see if i can pick up what you heard.

	10:29am Itzall Ablurr: Shanté you stay/Sashay away
	10:30am Linda Lee: really resist moving from the stream today! this is so good.
	10:31am EG_Astro: thanks!
	10:34am sphere: one thing WFMU did for me is to open the wide world of electronica for me. i didn't realize house could work for me until I heard house without diva vocals, and the rest followed.
	10:35am Linda Lee: FMU is an incredible resource for reasons just like that.
	10:35am Itzall Ablurr: Now there is a Mexican dude removing the door to my office (long, stupid story) whilst I am blasting "You're My Honey Bee". He seems OK with it.
	10:35am Linda Lee: he'd better bee :-D
	10:37am northguineahills: We need more apiarists....
	♥ 10:38am coelacanth∅: even i'm okay with it. there's something happening but i don't know what it is...
	10:38am Linda Lee: we do indeed. & we also need to stop supporting businesses that sell plants contaminated with pesticides!
	10:39am βrian: I had friends in VT who were into bee-sting therapy. A lot of brave bees died in their cause.
	10:40am northguineahills: I always dance like no one's looking, b/c I'm that smooth.... :)
	10:41am Linda Lee: good news for those who believe we're touched by planets' vibrations: Mercury Retrograde ends this weekend, meaning we'll begin communicating more easily & we can avoid hurtful, pointless debate! thank heaven!
	10:41am Itzall Ablurr: Right on, Linda Lee! It's so easy to do the right thing when making those choices.
	10:42am Robert Tables: Thank you, volunteers!
	10:42am Itzall Ablurr: re; pesticides. The other topic, not as easy...
	10:42am EG_Astro: oooo a lil' segment about phones/phonecalls someday
	10:43am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Going to Poland in July! WOO HOO!!!
	10:43am Linda Lee: thanks for clarifying! :-)

	10:46am emily: We all chime in "The Long Goodbye"
	♥ 10:46am melinda: I love movies with that LA vibe too.
	10:46am Fanboy: Hi Trouble: The DJ who remixed EBTG's Missing was Todd Terry not Todd Edwards -- it was called the Todd Terry Club Mix
	10:46am Lucky: Rockford Files dialogue is great!
	10:46am Roberto: Lolz lots of love for The Long Goodbye
	10:46am Linda Lee: the long response ... :-D
	♥ 10:47am Hughie Considine: My parents saw the movie, and my mom was appalled by a scene where a bad guy breaks a bottle on a woman's face.
	♥ 10:47am Trouble: yes! thanks @linda and passaic!
	♥ 10:47am melinda: Wait, no, I think it might have been the Short Farewell.
	♥ 10:47am Hughie Considine: Of course she came right home and told me about it.
	10:47am Scott in Tokyo: Maybe the long goodbye? That Elliott Gould movie is one of my favorites...

	10:49am northguineahills: Did anyone mention it was the Long Goodbye w/ Elliot Gould, yet?
	10:50am Roberto: I saw Elliott Gould at my parents' house once but that's a story for another day.
	10:51am Linda Lee: still b/p: have you seen the video series "Fun City- Dirty Old New York"? clips of New York in films from the 70s & 80s, organized by theme. really lovely. the city really was a major character in films of that time. in just a minute I'll find the details. it's really enjoyable.
	10:51am Jeff Moore: You watch The Rockford Files for James Garner's portrayal of Jim Rockford's world-weary yet somehow still good humored really low expectations of how the world will treat him and others. And yes, that loose and seedy LA vibe.
	10:52am Warwick joe: The long goodbye is the the better version of Paul Thomas Anderson’s inherent vice. It’s practically the same movie. Sterling Hayden in one of his best roles.
	10:52am Linda Lee: still b/p: here we are: vimeo.com...
	♥ 10:53am Hughie Considine: Sterling Hayden...so many great roles. "Suddenly" "Strangelove" "The Killing" ...
	10:53am Scott in Tokyo: My band in Tokyo wrote a song about that movie the long goodbye. Elliott Gould is such an amazing actor in that film https://thebignothingtokyo.bandcamp.com/track/faded
	10:53am Linda Lee: thanks Scott! must hear it!
	10:54am Jeff Moore: @Trouble: haven't watched Gosford Park since its initial release. Thanks for reminding me I should re-view.
	10:54am still b/p: Haven’t seen it, Linda. Yes, please point, thanks.
	♥ 10:54am Passaic River Blues: My favorite dingy 70s L.A. movie is "California Split", also by Altman and also stars Gould with George Segal. In the final scenes, Segal staring into the middle distance seized with sudden knowledge as to the meaningless of effort/exertion/passion/mania/etc.--oh man, that always kills me.
	10:55am Linda Lee: still b/p: it's really 60s, 70s, 80s. i love watching the series because i grew up there in the late 60s - 70s. what a dynamic film location!! vimeo.com...
	10:56am Warwick joe: @Passaic going to put that in my watchlist. Thanks.
	10:57am northguineahills: Thanks Scott!
	10:57am still b/p: Just dropped friend at bus this morning for a NY trip. Envy for engagement-with-NY opp.
	10:58am northguineahills: oh, and thanks for the Desmond Dekker, Trouble!
	10:58am northguineahills: @ still b/p: Shopping for air tix to NYC for a trip in June.
	10:59am βrian: Saw the Joe Frank documentary last night, which was very good. But for some reason they had the audio level set to the threshold of pain.
	10:59am Linda Lee: hope you can get there soon. i haven't been there myself in .. 5 years ~ after living there for most of my life. alas it's no longer the city i remember. so dynamic, always changing, like it or not!
	11:00am Jeff Moore: @Warwick joe: I do like the dreamlike quality of Inherent Vice, which isn't to say it in any way supersedes earlier films to which is it similar.
	11:00am still b/p: Spring and fall good for city visit. Xmas OK. August.... not so much.
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: no way! @sugarplumfw~!!!
	11:00am Linda Lee: @northguineahills ~ if you can avoid going during tourist season (summer), you're better off, price wise. & frankly autumn is the prettiest time there, in my opinion. not so hot & crowded!
	11:02am northguineahills: @Linda Lee: I haven't seen my wife since Feb, and I haven't been to NYC since Aug 2016.
	11:02am Linda Lee: she's there now?
	11:02am northguineahills: (but she's coming down here in Aug as well).
	11:03am Linda Lee: hmm .. can you get down in May? tickets will be easier to get & less money, i'm sure.
	11:03am Linda Lee: plus you get down sooner! :-)
	♥ 11:05am Passaic River Blues: @Warwick Joe: I used to have the DVD but handed it off to a cousin years ago. Haven't seen it in a minute, but it's still got a hold of me. Also, big ups to Orange County, now and forever. If people liked Pynchon's "Inherent Vice", I'd also recommend "Crybaby of the Western World" by John Leonard, my favorite old NYBR critic. It's pretty much a direct blood relation of "Inherent Vice" (we're talking only a few alleles off) but was actually written and published in 67-69.
	11:07am northguineahills: @Linda Lee, Memorial Day weekend is too expensive, but maybe I'll look at the week before.
	11:08am Warwick joe: @jeffery Moore I’ve seen IV several times and it just doesn’t grip me like his other films. The master and phantom thread are really superb. The latter being such a refined film for PTA. IV just missed the mark for me.
	11:11am r i s k y: Oh Arthur! How I love Arthur Russell so
	11:11am Lucky: I thought this was Lonnie Holley at first.
	11:11am Linda Lee: yes ~ Memorial Day weekend starts the season, so you'll definitely be best off earlier, if you can manage it.
	11:11am northguineahills: what r i s k y said!
	11:16am northguineahills: syl!!!!!!
	11:16am themutante: Ali G theme song.
	11:17am still b/p: I also thought it was like Lonnie Holley redirected... or before or after he was full Lonnie Holley.
	♥ 11:19am Guido from Cologne: sampled by Cypress Hill I guess. great song!
	11:22am Peter in SEA: Good Morning Trouble & Troubleistas: Did you see the Tarisa show at MOMA Trouble? Just joining out here...:-) Spring Break!
	11:22am themutante: The funniest thing in America right now is the Alt-Shite's complaining about the pain and struggle of the white man.
	♥ 11:23am melinda: @Jeff "loose and seedy" is a great description.
	11:24am themutante: Can't get enough of that Cernovich, Molyneux et al jazz.
	11:24am lori: the white guilt is strong in this one. hey trouble, you know the problem with crucifying yourself? you can never get the fourth nail in.
	11:25am themutante: Ha! Nice one, @lori
	11:25am themutante: Oh, like this!
	11:26am northguineahills: @lori: I ain't Filipino, and it ain't Easter.! /nice one, I chortled!
	♥ 11:26am steveo: baroccocco is a great title
	♥ 11:27am steveo: i thought there was one nail for both feet
	♥ 11:28am steveo: ok lol "The exact number of Holy Nails has been a matter of theological debate for centuries." --wikipedia
	11:28am lori: only in the movies....
	11:29am northguineahills: ..but syl wasn't wrong....
	♥ 11:29am steveo: 4 makes more sense for the joke, obv'ly
	11:29am themutante: Preach, @NGH
	♥ 11:30am steveo: also obv'ly
	♥ 11:30am melinda: I missed the song in question and now I've got to split. Thanks Trouble!
	11:31am northguineahills: That show was amazing, Trouble!
	11:33am northguineahills: For the uninitiated about Easter in the Philippines: www.telegraph.co.uk...
	♥ 11:33am NotARealDoctor: WHAT?! DJ Trouble! I had to log back in just to tell you that you should check out your local video rental place! They're dying without customers who love to watch movies!
	11:33am βrian: The Netflix UI is a complete train wreck. I do my discovery elsewhere, then go to netflix with a particular title in mind.
	♥ 11:34am Mick: Brutalist Alphaville moment = brilliant read of Journal Square
	♥ 11:34am !ke: More interesting books I probably don't have time for: www.audible.com... www.audible.com...
	11:34am themutante: Tap out after that second Kong.
	♥ 11:34am NotARealDoctor: There are some great video rental places in NYC and in the Jersey City area!
	♥ 11:34am steveo: @ngh I passed a good friday parade in brooklyn, but I'm pretty sure the jesus was not a real human
	♥ 11:35am Passaic River Blues: @Ike: I'm about a 1/5th of the way into Powers' "The Overstory". Really good so far--thank you for the tip!
	♥ 11:36am steveo: @PRB me too! (but 2/5); really great, so far; moving
	♥ 11:36am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: Junot Diaz is reading from his children's book at the Newark Public Library Main Branch. I'll be working but looks cool.
	♥ 11:36am NotARealDoctor: I've never been there, but I hear that Video Free Brooklyn is amazing!
	♥ 11:37am ♪ke: @PRB & @steveo, cool! I'll have to move that one up higher on my personal list.
	11:37am paul: sounds good, love from Madrid! xp
	11:38am Itzall Ablurr: Video rental stores, the new vinyl
	♥ 11:38am NotARealDoctor: Google tells me that if you're in Manhattan you should check out The Video Room
	11:39am northguineahills: I do the same, βrian.
	♥ 11:39am Passaic River Blues: @Steveo: Nice! I agree--it's got me so far. It's my second Powers ("Orfeo" was the first and it was fantastic), so I'll probably have to keep mining that vein.
	11:40am northguineahills: When I go back to NYC, I'm renewing my NY Public Library card so I can stream movies from them.
	♥ 11:40am NotARealDoctor: And if you're ever down in my area, you need to check out the Naro Expanded Video Archival Library, previously the Naro Expanded Cinema Video, with over 42k DVDs and VHSs you're not missing anything that Netflix has to offer
	11:40am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I borrow my DVDs from the library, its free.
	♥ 11:42am steveo: my first Powers & thank you for the tip on Orfeo
	♥ 11:42am Trouble: wow! that's crazy @ passaic river blues. I didn't even know he wrote a children's book? who took out the swear words?
	♥ 11:44am NotARealDoctor: @Wild Neil, that's a terrific way to do it if you don't have a local video rental store, too
	♥ 11:45am NotARealDoctor: The best part about renting DVDs in person is that you get to interact with other humans who are film buffs too and can learn your tastes and offer other things you might like WAY better than Netflix ever can
	11:45am Mister Dobalina: Thanks for this, I could definitely use some Dub right now!!!! BIG UP!
	♥ 11:46am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: hahaha It's called "Islandborn"--probably will be something I get nieces/nephews/friends' spawn. The reading/book signing is tonight at 6: npl.org...
	♥ 11:48am Ken From Hyde Park: @WN - That's where I get my DVDs from, the local library. Works great.
	11:49am Chris from DC: Digging Synthesis a lot.
	11:50am northguineahills: what Chris said....
	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the hour, Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org... (Nice artwork there, too.)
	♥ 11:55am Passaic River Blues: Thank you as always, Trouble!
	11:55am northguineahills: outside of WFMU, I prefer minimal influence of my aesthetic preferences. Y'all, I trust!
	11:56am Ben Abs: Faaanks trouble
	11:56am still b/p: Just got a message from different friend off to NY to see Broadway Bruce! Awwwww, everybody goin’ t’ the city ‘crot me!
	11:57am still b/p: “Crot”....? Auto correct oddity of the day. Supposed to be “‘cept.”
	11:58am Linda Lee: dear me, what is 'crot'?
	11:58am northguineahills: hablando en espanol still does the trick in getting telemarketers/scammers to hang up the phone. bonus, I can use expletives, and they usually have no clue.
	11:59am themutante: Cheers, Trouble!
	11:59am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am steveo: oh it's time; thanks trouble!
	11:59am Linda Lee: thank you for a wonderful show, Trouble!! honestly, what a lift!
	♥ 11:59am Mick: Merci Trouble!
	♥ 12:00pm Mick: What Linda Lee said - best mood I've been in in days!
	12:00pm northguineahills: Lucky Icepack!
	3:44pm catherine marcial: HiTrouble - Great minds think alike -I just just finished reading "The Possessed" this morning -enjoyed it thoroughly - total coincidence
