	♥ 9:23am tom from Glasgow: kind of seems a bit active to be drone, tho it obviously has drone elements. i dig it

	9:23am robotrattle: love the Juri - The Black Sweat label is really in the groove - nice pick Trouble!
	9:24am queems: i like it
	♥ 9:26am tom from Glasgow: hi Trouble 'n everyone btw
	9:26am Adrian in London: Sitting in the sun listening. Hello all.
	♥ 9:27am tom from Glasgow: sunny and raining both at once here. ridiculous city
	♥ 9:28am melinda: Morning! I dug the drone.
	9:29am Linda Lee: wow ~ love the quality of Mlle Hardy's voice in this one. lovely.
	9:29am Linda Lee: i'm actually in love with a song. how amazing.
	9:29am Chris from DC: Nothing like a good drone.
	9:30am Itzall Ablurr: tom, I've always heard it said "the devil is beating his wife" when it rains with the sun shining. Good morning, devil, good morning Trouble.
	9:31am sugarplumfairywolf: See you at the record fair Trouble!
	♥ 9:32am steveo: i thought the devil was a swinging single
	9:33am Itzall Ablurr: Haha. Yeah, me too, steveo. Maybe he's just massively poly?
	9:35am Lixiviated Life: i suppose an actual monkey might find some fault with that title
	9:36am Adrian in London: Arnaud did two albums, Trouble, AND he released a new track last year that had Isabelle Huppert in the video.
	9:37am Lixiviated Life: spa? nope.
	♥ 9:37am adampsyche: king spa in palisades park > spa castle in queens
	♥ 9:37am melinda: My friends in Chicago sometimes talk about Korean spas. I assumed it was a big city thing.
	9:38am Linda Lee: we sure don't have any up here in the catskills! we have ice-cold natural pools. :-)
	♥ 9:38am adampsyche: korean spas are great, especially when marathon training or just looking to unwind
	♥ 9:39am adampsyche: linda i got a tub that i'm trying to get fixed and i want to build an outdoor steam hut but have to get down basic carpentry first
	9:40am Linda Lee: i just noticed small spas for sale pre-built yesterday. they're not pricey.
	9:41am Linda Lee: hot rocks not included.
	9:41am duke: Really liked that version of volare
	9:42am Linda Lee: wasn't that pretty!
	♥ 9:42am adampsyche: you can build them actually with bamboo and canvas: www.google.com...
	9:42am sphere: if you do the Russian sauna (banya), you are supposed to be whipped with bundles of tree branches to encourage your circulation.
	♥ 9:46am melinda: I was going to attempt a series of sauna sessions at a local spa/salon to see if it would help with my chronic health problems but it was too much hassle for uncertain returns. Many sick people have their own FIR saunas at home and swear by them.
	♥ 9:47am crateslinger: At the Turkish Bath on 12th St, or is it 10th St, in Manhattan, you can have naked old men whip you with oak saplings for a small donation.
	♥ 9:49am Sem: Sweet, sweet, sweet. Good morning, Trouble, Modern Worlders.
	♥ 9:49am tom from Glasgow: "green apples" and "Indianapolis" is a daring rhyme
	♥ 9:49am steveo: I am not ashamed to say that I really like this Tom Jones.
	♥ 9:50am Asheville Jon: could listen to Tom Jones all day....and have done so in the past
	♥ 9:51am crateslinger: I play Tom Jones to my mom on her headphones. She has pretty far along Alzheimer's and it makes her smile.
	♥ 9:52am steveo: (which is only noteworthy because a former arrangement of molecules known as steveo might have)
	♥ 9:53am melinda: @Tom haha
	♥ 9:54am Dominick: mellow my mind
	9:54am still b/p: melinda, Portland Y has saunas. Don’t know if it’s less hassle, but probably cheaper.
	9:55am northguineahills: nice, crateslinger! /I have a Tom Jones album I once won at an office party/secret Santa thingy. I think they knew I liked vinyl.
	9:56am sphere: trouble keeps the "free" in freeform!
	9:58am Chris from DC: Oh cool, just got a Dire Wolves cassette, good stuff.
	♥ 9:58am N.A.R.D.: Just found out that my 10am weekly Thursday meeting is cancelled! For the first time ever I get to hear the 10:00 hour of Trouble's show!
	♥ 9:59am N.A.R.D.: Everything is coming up aces today!
	♥ 10:03am melinda: @b/p thanks. I think it was the hassle more than the $, the spa was only $10 per session which seemed like a good deal, especially for the far-infrared type which is supposed to be easier to handle than steam.
	10:04am Itzall Ablurr: steveo, I saw a (very) old "Ed Sullivan" show a few weeks ago featuring Tom Jones, he has an amazing voice. I know it was not considered "cool" to like him when he was popular, but I've always thought he was a fantastic entertainer. I think he may still be alive?
	♥ 10:05am Sem: Itzall Ablurr: Ton entertained at the Queens 92nd birthday party the other day. Still kickin'!
	10:06am sphere: yes he is!
	♥ 10:06am Sem: both of them
	10:07am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Itzall-there is a youtube video of Toom Jones singing a Buffalo Springfield (?) or some other Neil Young band tune. It.is.amazing. I don't care if people think Tom Jones is "corny", I think he is stellar, too. I also like Styx and Abba, un-ironically.
	10:08am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This Wooden Shjips is really outstanding. Space rock!
	10:11am Itzall Ablurr: Sem, sphere & Wild, glad to hear and I need to check out some of his vids. I was blown away at the range and power at his command watching him on Sullivan. I'd go see him in a heartbeat.
	♥ 10:11am Mick: Loving today's show! Tom Jones' take on Prince's 'Kiss' turned my head pretty fast when I first heard it.
	♥ 10:12am steveo: @itzall yeah he still gets that; my uncles were making fun (on FB) of this jam Jones did with CSNY that was excellent (speaking of wooden sh[j]ips, ha). Maybe the problem was that his hair was too short.
	10:12am Itzall Ablurr: Hey, it's the Night SWEETS!!! haha.
	♥ 10:13am steveo: oh yeah, neil, i think that we're talking about the same thing www.youtube.com...
	10:14am Itzall Ablurr: steveo, there truly is no accounting for taste, in my humble opinion. I'm sure there are people out there who don't enjoy The Shaggs... more for us!
	10:14am sphere: Rateliff and the Night Sweats are on Stax! Interesting.
	10:17am still b/p: Always happy to re-recommend Captain Tom Speedo Jones on a perfect four-star voyage right here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ppo9z8A56k4
	10:20am Itzall Ablurr: still b/p, with that Speedo quip I'm confident that I DON'T want to click that link. haha.
	10:22am still b/p: Don’t be frightened. It’s a magic boatload of elements that are somehow all juuuust right and a day brightener.
	♥ 10:24am tom from Glasgow: Persuasions, great
	♥ 10:25am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Troublemakers!
	10:26am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Steveo-yeah! I saw that link here on the boards, first. Probably from you! Or maybe it was on the FMU front page. Yeah, that's it! The front page!
	10:26am exile-on-hicks-st: Haha - just like heaven.
	10:29am exile-on-hicks-st: Always loved that descending guitar of the orig.
	♥ 10:32am steveo: Neil? The front page, really? I really thought it was from my uncles. It jumped into the collective consciousness for a moment, I suppose. I am speedo-curious, but will wait until Trouble is not on...
	10:36am βrian: Salut les oiseaux !
	10:36am SeanG: Morning Trouble and All!
	♥ 10:39am steveo: there should be a clicky-star for sets! (but a set is not a first-class object in playlists!)
	♥ 10:39am Trouble: www.littlecitybooks.com...
	10:40am exile-on-hicks-st: Is that an alarm going off in the studio?
	10:40am Kerbo: what's the name of the bird call record. it's always great....
	♥ 10:42am melinda: I checked out the speedo vid and it seems hilariously amateurish, actually, I agree it is a day-brightener.
	10:42am queems: one of the reasons i haven’t gotten more into collecting records is because i’m a hoarder and once i have something in my collection there is a zero percent chance i will get rid of it
	10:45am queems: i related hardcore to the struggle of deciding to get rid of something and then changing your mind
	♥ 10:45am steveo: <-- little Tom Jones can really dance to this
	10:46am Itzall Ablurr: Dear queems, I'm sure I am not alone (especially HERE) in saying that I have ALL of the records I bought when I first started buying music in the late 70s. Yes, that's FOUR DECADES of "collecting", and that's not even to mention the Niagra of CDs, cassettes, 8-tracks (!), etc. that I still have. Dear lord.
	10:47am Itzall Ablurr: little, I mean regular sized STEVEO, that's fantastic! He ain't missing a beat.
	10:48am queems: @itzall that warms my hoarder heart
	♥ 10:48am steveo: he's gonna love fabio, too
	10:52am Itzall Ablurr: queems, there was a brief period, during my bleak times as an art student when I choke sold some of my LPs to a record store for pittance. Of course I have since re-purchased most of them at a substantially inflated rate! This show, in particular, is to blame for so many $$ spent on new ones!
	10:54am northguineahills: @Itzall Ablurr: I only have the early 90s to 2010, when my wife put a moratorium of me buying music, as we were running out of room. I can only acquire physical musical media now via live events and WFMU.
	10:56am sphere: The best thing about digital is that you can store a LOT of audio in a terabyte.
	10:58am queems: even though i have all of my music backed up on 2 external hard drives i’m always worried that i’m going to lose it somehow. like all at once, 90% of my music is gone
	♥ 10:59am tom from Glasgow: yesssss
	11:00am βrian: What percentage of the music you own do you listen to in a given month? Six months?
	♥ 11:00am Uncle Michael: I have this 12" (buffs nails on shirt).
	11:00am Linda Lee: @queems ~ exactly why i like analog media.
	♥ 11:01am tallbuildings: this is a great collab
	11:01am Itzall Ablurr: Dancing the HELL out of this chair now! TIME ZONE!
	♥ 11:02am Tiago from Portugal: Yess this great... Kabooom! Kabooom!
	11:02am Linda Lee: you'd think no one had ever heard this message ~ we just march on in the same direction, collectively.
	11:03am northguineahills: βrian: Maybe .005%, the last time I went through my collection alphabetically listening to a few albums during the week, and maybe 5-10 during the weekend, it took over 8 years, It would probably take me 10 years now.
	♥ 11:03am N.A.R.D.: I think more and more people are starting to try and tug us in the other direction, Linda Lee
	11:03am Itzall Ablurr: Man, John buzz-killed it at the end, in my opinion. Yikes.
	11:04am prudy: loving Rotten scream TIME ZONE!
	11:04am Linda Lee: @Itzall Ablurr ~ came off sounding a wee bit silly. agree.
	11:07am Linda Lee: NARD ~ unfortunately, i just don't think there's time to turn this boat around, as the sane aren't well represented by those with the ultimate power.
	11:07am βrian: Imagine a Twilight Zone episode where all the music you didn't listen to in a given month you'd never be able to hear again. You'd probably have night sweats, but the next move would surely go easier.
	11:08am Itzall Ablurr: Uncle Michael, I have it too and now I'm trying to remember what's on the flip side... is it "Buffalo Gals" w/Malcom McClaren?
	11:09am Linda Lee: & that's as far as we should go there.
	11:09am jess: can you play world destruction again? someone called and interrupted my listening pleasure lol.
	♥ 11:09am N.A.R.D.: I just have to have hope. If I didn't there wouldn't be any reason to stick around.
	♥ 11:10am Uncle Michael: World Destruction on both sides.
	11:13am Linda Lee: the activist Derek Jensen published a great essay on 'hope' some time back. i really agree. orionmagazine.org...
	11:13am queems: i LOVE bird sounds
	11:14am Linda Lee: pauline et al = brilliant.
	11:14am Itzall Ablurr: Thanks. Now I need to dig it out later. Now how did I file that?...
	11:16am βrian: @LL: That Al! He's like Forrest Gump.
	11:17am northguineahills: Shelagh McDonald!
	♥ 11:19am melinda: love soft rave
	11:20am Linda Lee: Brian ~ no longer, alas. pauline et him.
	11:21am queems: this is great
	11:23am βrian: Luffly, this.
	11:24am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Linda Lee, I sort of surface skimmed that Orion piece and for the most part I also agree. Seems a very zen approach to not going (completely) crazy in a crazy world. Loved the part about salamanders, I also <3 them.
	11:27am Linda Lee: i think it's a very healthy & realistic approach.
	♥ 11:29am ɨkɛ: I just went to clicky-star Dallas Acid, but I'd already starred it on some previous playlist.
	11:30am Kyle J: Loving the show today, Trouble. It matches the spectacular spring day we’re having herein NYC!
	♥ 11:31am steveo: @ike same
	11:31am Linda Lee: me too!
	♥ 11:32am steveo: mary wing in february
	11:36am northguineahills: @Linda Lee: Considering everyone in my family don't even care about the environment (outside of my wife), I see the point. I even have a brother that doesn't recycle (he throws it out at the nearby dumpster). At least my father asked my opinion on the validity of climate change. That was a frank and long sciency discussion.
	11:36am northguineahills: @everyone else. mi tambien acerca de dallas acid
	11:37am Linda Lee: that's lovely. nothing's happening without respectful communication.
	11:37am Itzall Ablurr: Has anyone proposed a campaign to keep Trouble on the air all the time? Seems obvious.
	11:38am Linda Lee: sic-ay-da!
	11:38am Fletcher: Sick- AH-duh
	♥ 11:38am steveo: toe-mah-toe
	11:38am JakeGould: Sick aye duh!
	11:38am Linda Lee: ah well..
	11:38am rob: Cha-Kay-Duh
	11:39am Mr Chippy: si-cay-dah
	♥ 11:39am tom from Glasgow: as in "i'm sick-uh-da dang things!"
	♥ 11:39am Ike: Not much of a science nonfiction guy, but this looks perhaps fascinating: www.amazon.com... (Coming soon as an audiobook as well....)
	11:40am Itzall Ablurr: Bo-Tato.
	11:40am queems: we say si cay da here idk
	11:40am βrian: səˈkādə OR səˈkädə
	♥ 11:40am Trouble: www.bostonglobe.com...
	11:41am tomloops in minneapolis: sick-KAY-duh (says me, a California native)
	♥ 11:41am tom from Glasgow: aren't there ones that have a 17-year cycle and ones that have a 13-year cycle? and every so often when they coincide all hell breaks loose
	11:42am Fletcher: Y’all are a bunch a Yankees
	11:42am Linda Lee: (sings) sic-ay-da, sic-ah-da, to-may-da, to-mah-da. let's call the whole thing off for the next 13 or 17 years.
	♥ 11:42am melinda: Those buildings sound horrid.
	11:42am kenny: it's cicayda
	♥ 11:42am Ike: I do the "ā" too (Maryland). Oops, don't use that Amazon link! Use the Amazon Smile link that benefits WFMU (Auricle Communications)! smile.amazon.com...
	♥ 11:43am steveo: HOW CAN YOU TALK ON THE RADIO AND DO REEARRCH/POST LINKS AT THE SAME TIME THAT'S AMAZING
	11:43am Mr Chippy: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/cicada
	♥ 11:43am steveo: lol @linda
	11:43am northguineahills: @Itzall Ablurr: If she didn't have life, family, job, and need for sleep, sure!
	11:43am Fletcher: Which, of course, makes sense.
	11:43am βrian: @Ike: You're in Merlin?
	11:45am Itzall Ablurr: northguineahills, that's all well and good but what about OUR wants and needs?!?
	11:45am northguineahills: @tom from glasgow: Yes, all species use such prime numbers to keep predator species from evolving to coincide w/ their cycles.
	♥ 11:45am melinda: Oh dear, orange man chose a bad analogy.
	♥ 11:45am ♪ke: @βrian, I'm from Maryland. The Eastern Shore. Boring AF, except for the beautiful duck decoy museum. Glad to have escaped!
	11:45am queems: your orange isn’t going to ruin a neighborhood you dope
	11:46am northguineahills: My house is from 1943 (but newly renovated last year)
	♥ 11:46am N.A.R.D.: It's happening all over the country. There was a big house right down the street from me that went on sale two months ago, it was built in 1910, a developer bought it, knocked it down, and now they're building 2 prefabs on that one lot.
	11:46am Linda Lee: not well thought out, that one.
	♥ 11:47am N.A.R.D.: The prefabs are going for 1.5x what the original home was being sold for
	11:47am Linda Lee: & will come apart 50 years sooner.
	11:48am queems: my parents’ bought a house from 1803 down the block from the house i grew up in because some developer wanted to buy it to knock it down and build. my sister lives there now
	♥ 11:48am melinda: My house was built in 1942-3. I don't often think about the original inhabitants but I do wonder what the original kitchen and bathroom looked like. Most of the houses on my street have the same floorplan, with the mirror-image plan on the other side of the street.
	11:49am Linda Lee: i just moved from an 1864 farmhouse to a 5 year old prefab structure. it seems so incredibly shoddy & poorly designed!! unbelievable.
	11:49am andrewb: I usually find folks who need to use metaphors to make their point don't have much of a point. (re: the orange)
	♥ 11:49am Passaic River Blues: At least they probably obtain permits to demolish buildings in Jersey City. In Newark, the Parking Lot Lords (the odious Edison Parking and J&L Parking) will acquire a building adjacent to an existing lot and then just tear it down. No permit. No plan. Then they wait a decent interval and pave it over to enlarge the original lot. It's utterly insane.
	11:51am βrian: Zoning laws often won't permit multi-residence buildings in residential 'hoods. But we have seen a lot of "in-law" apartments built over garages, and second stories added to single-story post war homes.
	11:51am northguineahills: My old Billyburg apt was new but shoddily constructed, every corner cut (no baseboard on one side of my bedroom). Landlord was impossible to talk to get anything done, but it was at least large for the neighborhood and close to the L.
	11:53am queems: @melinda my new house was built in 1950 and it still has the original bathroom. pink tile galore
	11:53am Alex from Weehawken: Trouble, there's an amazing article from current affairs magazine called "why you hate contemporary architecture" that I think you would love based on what you just said. (Not sure what rules are on links so I didn't include it) regarding that awful free-market orange metaphor the article has a relevant bit where they say " The physical environment in which we live and work, however, is ubiquitous and inescapable; when it comes to architecture, it is nigh-impossible for people to simply avoid the things they hate and seek out the things they like." Basically we deserve and should fight for beauty in architecture!
	11:53am northguineahills: @melinda: my 1943 house's floor plan is totally different from the original (found a digital copy at the city tax appraisers site). The only thing from the original is the outside structural edifice.
	11:54am Jeff Moore: Much of the same sort of discussion you're talking about went on in comments to Mayor Fulop's original social media post about this demolition cooling-off period. Two or three people - well, one in particular - repeatedly referred to this (and indeed I assume any attempt at actual urban planning) with words like "marxist", "communist", and "totalitarian".
	♥ 11:54am Mick: Thanks for the city council story! Agree wholly with Melinda & queems, etc. about orange analogy. Finally finished 'Left Bank of the Hudson,' which was brilliant re. the topics you bring up.
	11:54am Linda Lee: if profit is the main goal every possible corner will be cut, every time. equally true for construction, infrastructure or medical care ~
	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the hour: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org...
	11:55am Alex from Weehawken: @jeff moore, sounds like a contempt for democracy and actual community-building
	♥ 11:55am Trouble: americans look at being told what to do as the ultimate wrong, how crazy is that? we live with laws and rules all around us, but change sparks insanity in some people...
	11:57am northguineahills: The ferry stop is only 2-3 small blocks away.
	11:57am Linda Lee: i'm afraid most of us would be terrified by this 'freedom' we claim is worth our own lives & everyone else's.
	♥ 11:58am Passaic River Blues: @Alex of Weehawken: thank you for the tip. Thank you, Trouble!
	11:58am northguineahills: What Alex said Thanks Trouble!
	11:58am Itzall Ablurr: Can you take a teleporter to Brooklyn for the record fair? I WISH.
	11:58am Linda Lee: offered real freedom from rules, most of us would be absolutely traumatized..
	11:58am Ochre Ogre: Yep, happening all over, I've witnessed it dramatically in W/burg Brooklyn; and apparently some developers on large projects get a huge tax break! And zoning laws change to accommodate them.
	11:59am northguineahills: and what Itzall said....
	11:59am Linda Lee: thanks for a beautiful show, Trouble!
	11:59am Beast of Boonton: Ken will be 'crack spackling' cracks at the record fair
	♥ 11:59am tom from Glasgow: cheers Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am Trouble: thanks for sitting in, hope to see lots of you on sunday at rec fair!
	12:00pm βrian: We're ok with cell growth being regulated, since the alternative is metastasis.
	12:00pm still b/p: I keep hoping In vain the local paper will show images of some of the many apartments/condos built in the recent booming years, and have the architects AND objective ones explain the redundant visual vocabulary, the e-z kit appearance, leading to the yawn response and generic environment. Costs are a factor, sure. What else? Past building styles had sameness — brick blocks and 3-deckers. But we really can’t hope for better?

	9:21am quinn: i love this
	♥ 9:22am steveo: would we call this drone? i really enjoy it.
	9:22am krpprltrbf: thanks!
	♥ 9:23am tom from Glasgow: kind of seems a bit active to be drone, tho it obviously has drone elements. i dig it
	♥ 9:23am Ken From Hyde Park: There needs to be a way to clicky-star an entire day of WFMU. Thursday, 4/26/2018 ==> Click!
	9:23am robotrattle: love the Juri - The Black Sweat label is really in the groove - nice pick Trouble!
	9:24am queems: i like it
	♥ 9:26am tom from Glasgow: hi Trouble 'n everyone btw
	9:26am Adrian in London: Sitting in the sun listening. Hello all.
	♥ 9:27am tom from Glasgow: sunny and raining both at once here. ridiculous city
	♥ 9:28am melinda: Morning! I dug the drone.
	9:29am Linda Lee: wow ~ love the quality of Mlle Hardy's voice in this one. lovely.
	9:29am Linda Lee: i'm actually in love with a song. how amazing.
	9:29am Chris from DC: Nothing like a good drone.
	9:30am Itzall Ablurr: tom, I've always heard it said "the devil is beating his wife" when it rains with the sun shining. Good morning, devil, good morning Trouble.
	9:31am sugarplumfairywolf: See you at the record fair Trouble!
	♥ 9:32am steveo: i thought the devil was a swinging single
	9:33am Itzall Ablurr: Haha. Yeah, me too, steveo. Maybe he's just massively poly?
	9:35am Lixiviated Life: i suppose an actual monkey might find some fault with that title
	9:36am Adrian in London: Arnaud did two albums, Trouble, AND he released a new track last year that had Isabelle Huppert in the video.
	9:37am Lixiviated Life: spa? nope.
	♥ 9:37am adampsyche: king spa in palisades park > spa castle in queens
	♥ 9:37am melinda: My friends in Chicago sometimes talk about Korean spas. I assumed it was a big city thing.
	9:38am Linda Lee: we sure don't have any up here in the catskills! we have ice-cold natural pools. :-)
	♥ 9:38am adampsyche: korean spas are great, especially when marathon training or just looking to unwind
	♥ 9:39am adampsyche: linda i got a tub that i'm trying to get fixed and i want to build an outdoor steam hut but have to get down basic carpentry first
	9:40am Linda Lee: i just noticed small spas for sale pre-built yesterday. they're not pricey.
	9:41am Linda Lee: hot rocks not included.
	9:41am duke: Really liked that version of volare
	9:42am Linda Lee: wasn't that pretty!
	♥ 9:42am adampsyche: you can build them actually with bamboo and canvas: www.google.com...
	9:42am sphere: if you do the Russian sauna (banya), you are supposed to be whipped with bundles of tree branches to encourage your circulation.
	♥ 9:46am melinda: I was going to attempt a series of sauna sessions at a local spa/salon to see if it would help with my chronic health problems but it was too much hassle for uncertain returns. Many sick people have their own FIR saunas at home and swear by them.
	♥ 9:47am crateslinger: At the Turkish Bath on 12th St, or is it 10th St, in Manhattan, you can have naked old men whip you with oak saplings for a small donation.
	♥ 9:49am Sem: Sweet, sweet, sweet. Good morning, Trouble, Modern Worlders.
	♥ 9:49am tom from Glasgow: "green apples" and "Indianapolis" is a daring rhyme
	♥ 9:49am steveo: I am not ashamed to say that I really like this Tom Jones.
	♥ 9:50am Asheville Jon: could listen to Tom Jones all day....and have done so in the past
	♥ 9:51am crateslinger: I play Tom Jones to my mom on her headphones. She has pretty far along Alzheimer's and it makes her smile.
	♥ 9:52am steveo: (which is only noteworthy because a former arrangement of molecules known as steveo might have)
	♥ 9:53am melinda: @Tom haha
	♥ 9:54am Dominick: mellow my mind
	9:54am still b/p: melinda, Portland Y has saunas. Don’t know if it’s less hassle, but probably cheaper.
	9:55am northguineahills: nice, crateslinger! /I have a Tom Jones album I once won at an office party/secret Santa thingy. I think they knew I liked vinyl.
	9:56am sphere: trouble keeps the "free" in freeform!
	9:58am Chris from DC: Oh cool, just got a Dire Wolves cassette, good stuff.
	♥ 9:58am N.A.R.D.: Just found out that my 10am weekly Thursday meeting is cancelled! For the first time ever I get to hear the 10:00 hour of Trouble's show!
	♥ 9:59am N.A.R.D.: Everything is coming up aces today!
	♥ 10:03am melinda: @b/p thanks. I think it was the hassle more than the $, the spa was only $10 per session which seemed like a good deal, especially for the far-infrared type which is supposed to be easier to handle than steam.
	10:04am Itzall Ablurr: steveo, I saw a (very) old "Ed Sullivan" show a few weeks ago featuring Tom Jones, he has an amazing voice. I know it was not considered "cool" to like him when he was popular, but I've always thought he was a fantastic entertainer. I think he may still be alive?
	♥ 10:05am Sem: Itzall Ablurr: Ton entertained at the Queens 92nd birthday party the other day. Still kickin'!
	10:06am sphere: yes he is!
	♥ 10:06am Sem: both of them
	10:07am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Itzall-there is a youtube video of Toom Jones singing a Buffalo Springfield (?) or some other Neil Young band tune. It.is.amazing. I don't care if people think Tom Jones is "corny", I think he is stellar, too. I also like Styx and Abba, un-ironically.
	10:08am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This Wooden Shjips is really outstanding. Space rock!
	10:11am Itzall Ablurr: Sem, sphere & Wild, glad to hear and I need to check out some of his vids. I was blown away at the range and power at his command watching him on Sullivan. I'd go see him in a heartbeat.
	♥ 10:11am Mick: Loving today's show! Tom Jones' take on Prince's 'Kiss' turned my head pretty fast when I first heard it.
	♥ 10:12am steveo: @itzall yeah he still gets that; my uncles were making fun (on FB) of this jam Jones did with CSNY that was excellent (speaking of wooden sh[j]ips, ha). Maybe the problem was that his hair was too short.
	10:12am Itzall Ablurr: Hey, it's the Night SWEETS!!! haha.
	♥ 10:13am steveo: oh yeah, neil, i think that we're talking about the same thing www.youtube.com...
	10:14am Itzall Ablurr: steveo, there truly is no accounting for taste, in my humble opinion. I'm sure there are people out there who don't enjoy The Shaggs... more for us!
	10:14am sphere: Rateliff and the Night Sweats are on Stax! Interesting.
	10:17am still b/p: Always happy to re-recommend Captain Tom Speedo Jones on a perfect four-star voyage right here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ppo9z8A56k4
	10:20am Itzall Ablurr: still b/p, with that Speedo quip I'm confident that I DON'T want to click that link. haha.
	10:22am still b/p: Don’t be frightened. It’s a magic boatload of elements that are somehow all juuuust right and a day brightener.
	♥ 10:24am tom from Glasgow: Persuasions, great
	♥ 10:25am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Troublemakers!
	10:26am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Steveo-yeah! I saw that link here on the boards, first. Probably from you! Or maybe it was on the FMU front page. Yeah, that's it! The front page!
	10:26am exile-on-hicks-st: Haha - just like heaven.
	10:29am exile-on-hicks-st: Always loved that descending guitar of the orig.
	♥ 10:32am steveo: Neil? The front page, really? I really thought it was from my uncles. It jumped into the collective consciousness for a moment, I suppose. I am speedo-curious, but will wait until Trouble is not on...
	10:36am βrian: Salut les oiseaux !
	10:36am SeanG: Morning Trouble and All!
	♥ 10:39am steveo: there should be a clicky-star for sets! (but a set is not a first-class object in playlists!)
	♥ 10:39am Trouble: www.littlecitybooks.com...
	10:40am exile-on-hicks-st: Is that an alarm going off in the studio?
	10:40am Kerbo: what's the name of the bird call record. it's always great....
	♥ 10:42am melinda: I checked out the speedo vid and it seems hilariously amateurish, actually, I agree it is a day-brightener.
	10:42am queems: one of the reasons i haven’t gotten more into collecting records is because i’m a hoarder and once i have something in my collection there is a zero percent chance i will get rid of it
	10:45am queems: i related hardcore to the struggle of deciding to get rid of something and then changing your mind
	♥ 10:45am steveo: <-- little Tom Jones can really dance to this
	10:46am Itzall Ablurr: Dear queems, I'm sure I am not alone (especially HERE) in saying that I have ALL of the records I bought when I first started buying music in the late 70s. Yes, that's FOUR DECADES of "collecting", and that's not even to mention the Niagra of CDs, cassettes, 8-tracks (!), etc. that I still have. Dear lord.
	10:47am Itzall Ablurr: little, I mean regular sized STEVEO, that's fantastic! He ain't missing a beat.
	10:48am queems: @itzall that warms my hoarder heart
	♥ 10:48am steveo: he's gonna love fabio, too
	10:52am Itzall Ablurr: queems, there was a brief period, during my bleak times as an art student when I choke sold some of my LPs to a record store for pittance. Of course I have since re-purchased most of them at a substantially inflated rate! This show, in particular, is to blame for so many $$ spent on new ones!
	10:54am northguineahills: @Itzall Ablurr: I only have the early 90s to 2010, when my wife put a moratorium of me buying music, as we were running out of room. I can only acquire physical musical media now via live events and WFMU.
	10:56am sphere: The best thing about digital is that you can store a LOT of audio in a terabyte.
	10:58am queems: even though i have all of my music backed up on 2 external hard drives i’m always worried that i’m going to lose it somehow. like all at once, 90% of my music is gone
	♥ 10:59am tom from Glasgow: yesssss
	11:00am βrian: What percentage of the music you own do you listen to in a given month? Six months?
	♥ 11:00am Uncle Michael: I have this 12" (buffs nails on shirt).
	11:00am Linda Lee: @queems ~ exactly why i like analog media.
	♥ 11:01am tallbuildings: this is a great collab
	11:01am Itzall Ablurr: Dancing the HELL out of this chair now! TIME ZONE!
	♥ 11:02am Tiago from Portugal: Yess this great... Kabooom! Kabooom!
	11:02am Linda Lee: you'd think no one had ever heard this message ~ we just march on in the same direction, collectively.
	11:03am northguineahills: βrian: Maybe .005%, the last time I went through my collection alphabetically listening to a few albums during the week, and maybe 5-10 during the weekend, it took over 8 years, It would probably take me 10 years now.
	♥ 11:03am N.A.R.D.: I think more and more people are starting to try and tug us in the other direction, Linda Lee
	11:03am Itzall Ablurr: Man, John buzz-killed it at the end, in my opinion. Yikes.
	11:04am prudy: loving Rotten scream TIME ZONE!
	11:04am Linda Lee: @Itzall Ablurr ~ came off sounding a wee bit silly. agree.
	11:07am Linda Lee: NARD ~ unfortunately, i just don't think there's time to turn this boat around, as the sane aren't well represented by those with the ultimate power.
	11:07am βrian: Imagine a Twilight Zone episode where all the music you didn't listen to in a given month you'd never be able to hear again. You'd probably have night sweats, but the next move would surely go easier.
	11:08am Itzall Ablurr: Uncle Michael, I have it too and now I'm trying to remember what's on the flip side... is it "Buffalo Gals" w/Malcom McClaren?
	11:09am Linda Lee: & that's as far as we should go there.
	11:09am jess: can you play world destruction again? someone called and interrupted my listening pleasure lol.
	♥ 11:09am N.A.R.D.: I just have to have hope. If I didn't there wouldn't be any reason to stick around.
	♥ 11:10am Uncle Michael: World Destruction on both sides.
	11:13am Linda Lee: the activist Derek Jensen published a great essay on 'hope' some time back. i really agree. orionmagazine.org...
	11:13am queems: i LOVE bird sounds
	11:14am Linda Lee: pauline et al = brilliant.
	11:14am Itzall Ablurr: Thanks. Now I need to dig it out later. Now how did I file that?...
	11:16am βrian: @LL: That Al! He's like Forrest Gump.
	11:17am northguineahills: Shelagh McDonald!
	♥ 11:19am melinda: love soft rave
	11:20am Linda Lee: Brian ~ no longer, alas. pauline et him.
	11:21am queems: this is great
	11:23am βrian: Luffly, this.
	11:24am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Linda Lee, I sort of surface skimmed that Orion piece and for the most part I also agree. Seems a very zen approach to not going (completely) crazy in a crazy world. Loved the part about salamanders, I also <3 them.
	11:27am Linda Lee: i think it's a very healthy & realistic approach.
	♥ 11:29am ɨkɛ: I just went to clicky-star Dallas Acid, but I'd already starred it on some previous playlist.
	11:30am Kyle J: Loving the show today, Trouble. It matches the spectacular spring day we’re having herein NYC!
	♥ 11:31am steveo: @ike same
	11:31am Linda Lee: me too!
	♥ 11:32am steveo: mary wing in february
	11:36am northguineahills: @Linda Lee: Considering everyone in my family don't even care about the environment (outside of my wife), I see the point. I even have a brother that doesn't recycle (he throws it out at the nearby dumpster). At least my father asked my opinion on the validity of climate change. That was a frank and long sciency discussion.
	11:36am northguineahills: @everyone else. mi tambien acerca de dallas acid
	11:37am Linda Lee: that's lovely. nothing's happening without respectful communication.
	11:37am Itzall Ablurr: Has anyone proposed a campaign to keep Trouble on the air all the time? Seems obvious.
	11:38am Linda Lee: sic-ay-da!
	11:38am Fletcher: Sick- AH-duh
	♥ 11:38am steveo: toe-mah-toe
	11:38am JakeGould: Sick aye duh!
	11:38am Linda Lee: ah well..
	11:38am rob: Cha-Kay-Duh
	11:39am Mr Chippy: si-cay-dah
	♥ 11:39am tom from Glasgow: as in "i'm sick-uh-da dang things!"
	♥ 11:39am Ike: Not much of a science nonfiction guy, but this looks perhaps fascinating: www.amazon.com... (Coming soon as an audiobook as well....)
	11:40am Itzall Ablurr: Bo-Tato.
	11:40am queems: we say si cay da here idk
	11:40am βrian: səˈkādə OR səˈkädə
	♥ 11:40am Trouble: www.bostonglobe.com...
	11:41am tomloops in minneapolis: sick-KAY-duh (says me, a California native)
	♥ 11:41am tom from Glasgow: aren't there ones that have a 17-year cycle and ones that have a 13-year cycle? and every so often when they coincide all hell breaks loose
	11:42am Fletcher: Y’all are a bunch a Yankees
	11:42am Linda Lee: (sings) sic-ay-da, sic-ah-da, to-may-da, to-mah-da. let's call the whole thing off for the next 13 or 17 years.
	♥ 11:42am melinda: Those buildings sound horrid.
	11:42am kenny: it's cicayda
	♥ 11:42am Ike: I do the "ā" too (Maryland). Oops, don't use that Amazon link! Use the Amazon Smile link that benefits WFMU (Auricle Communications)! smile.amazon.com...
	♥ 11:43am steveo: HOW CAN YOU TALK ON THE RADIO AND DO REEARRCH/POST LINKS AT THE SAME TIME THAT'S AMAZING
	11:43am Mr Chippy: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/cicada
	♥ 11:43am steveo: lol @linda
	11:43am northguineahills: @Itzall Ablurr: If she didn't have life, family, job, and need for sleep, sure!
	11:43am Fletcher: Which, of course, makes sense.
	11:43am βrian: @Ike: You're in Merlin?
	11:45am Itzall Ablurr: northguineahills, that's all well and good but what about OUR wants and needs?!?
	11:45am northguineahills: @tom from glasgow: Yes, all species use such prime numbers to keep predator species from evolving to coincide w/ their cycles.
	♥ 11:45am melinda: Oh dear, orange man chose a bad analogy.
	♥ 11:45am ♪ke: @βrian, I'm from Maryland. The Eastern Shore. Boring AF, except for the beautiful duck decoy museum. Glad to have escaped!
	11:45am queems: your orange isn’t going to ruin a neighborhood you dope
	11:46am northguineahills: My house is from 1943 (but newly renovated last year)
	♥ 11:46am N.A.R.D.: It's happening all over the country. There was a big house right down the street from me that went on sale two months ago, it was built in 1910, a developer bought it, knocked it down, and now they're building 2 prefabs on that one lot.
	11:46am Linda Lee: not well thought out, that one.
	♥ 11:47am N.A.R.D.: The prefabs are going for 1.5x what the original home was being sold for
	11:47am Linda Lee: & will come apart 50 years sooner.
	11:48am queems: my parents’ bought a house from 1803 down the block from the house i grew up in because some developer wanted to buy it to knock it down and build. my sister lives there now
	♥ 11:48am melinda: My house was built in 1942-3. I don't often think about the original inhabitants but I do wonder what the original kitchen and bathroom looked like. Most of the houses on my street have the same floorplan, with the mirror-image plan on the other side of the street.
	11:49am Linda Lee: i just moved from an 1864 farmhouse to a 5 year old prefab structure. it seems so incredibly shoddy & poorly designed!! unbelievable.
	11:49am andrewb: I usually find folks who need to use metaphors to make their point don't have much of a point. (re: the orange)
	♥ 11:49am Passaic River Blues: At least they probably obtain permits to demolish buildings in Jersey City. In Newark, the Parking Lot Lords (the odious Edison Parking and J&L Parking) will acquire a building adjacent to an existing lot and then just tear it down. No permit. No plan. Then they wait a decent interval and pave it over to enlarge the original lot. It's utterly insane.
	11:51am βrian: Zoning laws often won't permit multi-residence buildings in residential 'hoods. But we have seen a lot of "in-law" apartments built over garages, and second stories added to single-story post war homes.
	11:51am northguineahills: My old Billyburg apt was new but shoddily constructed, every corner cut (no baseboard on one side of my bedroom). Landlord was impossible to talk to get anything done, but it was at least large for the neighborhood and close to the L.
	11:53am queems: @melinda my new house was built in 1950 and it still has the original bathroom. pink tile galore
	11:53am Alex from Weehawken: Trouble, there's an amazing article from current affairs magazine called "why you hate contemporary architecture" that I think you would love based on what you just said. (Not sure what rules are on links so I didn't include it) regarding that awful free-market orange metaphor the article has a relevant bit where they say " The physical environment in which we live and work, however, is ubiquitous and inescapable; when it comes to architecture, it is nigh-impossible for people to simply avoid the things they hate and seek out the things they like." Basically we deserve and should fight for beauty in architecture!
	11:53am northguineahills: @melinda: my 1943 house's floor plan is totally different from the original (found a digital copy at the city tax appraisers site). The only thing from the original is the outside structural edifice.
	11:54am Jeff Moore: Much of the same sort of discussion you're talking about went on in comments to Mayor Fulop's original social media post about this demolition cooling-off period. Two or three people - well, one in particular - repeatedly referred to this (and indeed I assume any attempt at actual urban planning) with words like "marxist", "communist", and "totalitarian".
	♥ 11:54am Mick: Thanks for the city council story! Agree wholly with Melinda & queems, etc. about orange analogy. Finally finished 'Left Bank of the Hudson,' which was brilliant re. the topics you bring up.
	11:54am Linda Lee: if profit is the main goal every possible corner will be cut, every time. equally true for construction, infrastructure or medical care ~
	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the hour: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org...
	11:55am Alex from Weehawken: @jeff moore, sounds like a contempt for democracy and actual community-building
	♥ 11:55am Trouble: americans look at being told what to do as the ultimate wrong, how crazy is that? we live with laws and rules all around us, but change sparks insanity in some people...
	11:57am northguineahills: The ferry stop is only 2-3 small blocks away.
	11:57am Linda Lee: i'm afraid most of us would be terrified by this 'freedom' we claim is worth our own lives & everyone else's.
	♥ 11:58am Passaic River Blues: @Alex of Weehawken: thank you for the tip. Thank you, Trouble!
	11:58am northguineahills: What Alex said Thanks Trouble!
	11:58am Itzall Ablurr: Can you take a teleporter to Brooklyn for the record fair? I WISH.
	11:58am Linda Lee: offered real freedom from rules, most of us would be absolutely traumatized..
	11:58am Ochre Ogre: Yep, happening all over, I've witnessed it dramatically in W/burg Brooklyn; and apparently some developers on large projects get a huge tax break! And zoning laws change to accommodate them.
	11:59am northguineahills: and what Itzall said....
	11:59am Linda Lee: thanks for a beautiful show, Trouble!
	11:59am Beast of Boonton: Ken will be 'crack spackling' cracks at the record fair
	♥ 11:59am tom from Glasgow: cheers Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am Trouble: thanks for sitting in, hope to see lots of you on sunday at rec fair!
	12:00pm βrian: We're ok with cell growth being regulated, since the alternative is metastasis.
	12:00pm still b/p: I keep hoping In vain the local paper will show images of some of the many apartments/condos built in the recent booming years, and have the architects AND objective ones explain the redundant visual vocabulary, the e-z kit appearance, leading to the yawn response and generic environment. Costs are a factor, sure. What else? Past building styles had sameness — brick blocks and 3-deckers. But we really can’t hope for better?
