	9:08am jdaFromCologne: words of wisdom i guess…
	9:10am Diezel Tea: I think I saw Mary Lattimore perform in Tbilisi last year. I just remember for the fest she was booked as "The Jimi Hendrix of harp" and she was using effects and such.
	9:11am Diezel Tea: Maybe a different female harpist from the US.
	9:11am northguineahills: I knew this was Mary Lattimore!
	9:13am mb: Speaking of "the mic break birds" another DJ at the station borrowed your style, Trouble. He was warned to cease and desist.
	9:14am emily: very sweet to hear "deep purple"
	♥ 9:15am NotARealDoctor: Oh my God, I really dig that clarinet. Okay, okay, back to work. No procrastinating.
	♥ 9:15am Trouble: no @ken from hyde park, there will be no soccer talk. i am not a gloater. @mb, i am not a litigious gal...
	9:15am Diezel Tea: Ah, no it was Zeena Parker, the US harpist that played SOU Festival in Tbilisi. If you're interested in experimental harp music, haha, I guess check her out if ye wisheth.
	9:16am zopa: Trouble! Great show. Loving the Watergate tapes.
	9:18am mb: got me smiling like <that Sun, Trouble : )
	9:18am zopa: Facts!
	9:19am Roberto: I probably wouldn't know who Jeb Magruder was if not for the block of Doonesbury strips devoted to him in the '70s.
	9:22am Diezel Tea: So I'm assuming that's where the rock and roll band Magruder Grind got their name? Was Jeb Magruder into grinding wood? Meat? Crotches? I'm unfamiliar, help.
	♥ 9:23am steveo: note to self: different from Zapruder (& greetings all)
	9:24am exile-on-hicks-st: Maybe sime “Deserter’s Songs”?’
	9:26am exile-on-hicks-st: Or “No New Tale To Tell”. It’s all the same....
	♥ 9:27am G: THIS COMMITTE OWES AN APOLOGY! AN APOLOGY!!
	♥ 9:27am Listener John from NJ: I remember seeing the Watergate hearings on TV and not understanding anything. I knew that John Dean was revealing information that was harmful to the Nixon Administration, but that's all. (I was 11 years old then,)
	9:29am Karen: Morning!
	♥ 9:29am Trouble: check this video to see what this song is from www.youtube.com...
	9:35am Karen: Some of those gulls sounded like they were being profane. Make sure you don’t get in trouble for it. ;)
	9:35am queems: i just bought a mary lattimore album last night
	9:36am Karen: @Trouble, that is cool!
	♥ 9:36am steveo: that is an amazing story about money mark hahaha
	9:37am dug: >Listener John from NJ: that was me during the ollie north hearings
	9:38am exile-on-hicks-st: Harry Shearer did tragi-comic re-enactments of the Nixon Tapes. Worth watching...
	♥ 9:38am melinda: @steveo 9:23 haha
	♥ 9:39am melinda: I learned my Watergate from All the President's Men.
	♥ 9:40am steveo: when i was a kid i thought for sure that C.R.E.E.P was something Mad Magazine made up... (@melinda my mind is doing the best it can)
	♥ 9:41am listener james from westwood: If nobody's mentioned the recent Slow Burn podcast about Watergate, two thumbs up from this quarter. Lifts a lot of rocks.
	♥ 9:42am listener james from westwood: @dug: While out delivering stuff for the drugstore I worked for in high school, I stopped and listened for like a half hour in a parking lot to the North hearings. It was riveting and I finally understood what my parents experienced a decade and change earlier w/ WG.
	♥ 9:44am The Oscar: Mornin' all! As a kid, I didn't have a concept of "dated references"-- if I saw Bugs Bunny make a joke about Eddie Cantor, or found an old National Lampoon with jokes about Spiro Agnew, I felt like the onus was on me to learn about them. I found out about a LOT of 20th century culture that way.
	♥ 9:44am steveo: linda! there's a great youtube of her doing this with the stone poneys....
	9:45am Pam in California: That's my first ever listen to Marvin Pontiac, I really liked it! thanks!
	9:47am thatpatsmith: Different Drum written by Monkee Michael Nesmith
	9:49am rover james: Mmmm This bass is making my car seat feel funny
	♥ 9:50am steveo: Different Drum "first recorded by the northern bluegrass band the Greenbriar Boys and included on their 1966 album, Better Late than Never!" I'm gonna have to look that up, too.
	♥ 9:52am melinda: @Oscar that's a good way of looking at it.
	♥ 9:54am karlward: Man, I love "Lowdown."
	♥ 9:55am MD: Good Morning My Fellow Americans...Keep the Faith! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 9:55am steveo: the greenbriar boys were played twice on wfmu in 2002 by steve krinsky and David/Inner Ear detour. Not that tune though.... (help boz scaggs, pull me out of this rabbit hole)
	♥ 9:55am MeMo BoingBoing: @karlward That's cos you got ears & a brain! What's not to love???
	♥ 9:55am melinda: Digging this too.
	9:56am βrian: Bon jeudi à tous.
	9:58am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning Trouble!
	♥ 9:58am Ken From Hyde Park: What a great name. I know of no other Boz anyone nor anyone Scaggs.
	9:58am Roberto: I recall Boz was ubiquitous on the airwaves circa '77.
	9:59am Lucky: Lowdown IS a perfect song!
	10:01am Itzall Ablurr: Boz Burrell?
	10:01am Itzall Ablurr: Ricky Scaggs?
	♥ 10:02am steveo: that boz scaggs album was #2 on the billboard charts in 1976
	♥ 10:02am steveo: i definitetly don't know any other Itzalls or any other Ablurrs
	10:02am Itzall Ablurr: "Silk Degrees"; it came with a safety edge razor for chopping toot
	10:03am Itzall Ablurr: Haha, I am happy to hear that Mr. steveo! I wanna' be uniquer than those pretenders.
	10:04am βrian: Ducks hailing ducks.
	♥ 10:04am steveo: really? a razor? that sounds like something else national lampoon made up.
	♥ 10:05am MeMo BoingBoing: If Moz is short for Morrissey is Boz short for Borrissey?
	10:05am βrian: When I got to school in the midwest, everybody had a Jersey accent.
	10:05am Roberto: North of Philadelphia is where my kid is currently in college. Main Line?
	10:08am Itzall Ablurr: every copy I ever saw had one along with powdery residue in the center crease, just assumed it was a "premium".
	♥ 10:08am Trouble: @roberto: haverford?? that's where we were visiting, gorgeous campus...
	10:09am emily: I love you, Trouble. xo emily
	10:10am Roberto: Troub: yep. She's between Fresh and Soph years.
	10:11am Roberto: I'm not sure why I capitalized fresh and soph there.
	10:11am βrian: Haverford sounds like a Friendly place.
	♥ 10:12am Trouble: @roberto, great! does she love it there? how often does she go in to philly, if ever?
	♥ 10:12am Trouble: bonjour emily! i love you too!
	10:13am Roberto: She likes it a lot. We all go to Philly together sometimes. The vegan food is surprisingly great there.
	♥ 10:15am Trouble: @roberto: good to hear! i love philly, and dj icepack is a city kid, he wants to be able to move around and see the sights...
	10:16am Roberto: I must admit I hadn't thought about Philly much until she got into Haverford. We visit frequently now and we love it.
	♥ 10:20am Trouble: @roberto: great record shopping, super museums and great food. also the shortness of the houses makes me think i'm in europe: always good!
	10:22am Roberto: My other daughter loves the Mütter Museum.
	10:27am mark v: Woah, this is crazy beautiful. What the heck is it? Hello trouble. Hello all.
	10:30am mark v: Altar of ... that song seemed like it was made of 7 different songs. Great way to take us into swimming!! ❤️
	10:30am rover james: Lovin the WHOLE set today!!!! Keep Killin’ it!
	10:30am northguineahills: Is this Arthur Russel a remix?
	10:32am northguineahills: B/cit sounds like a Kompakt hi-hat...
	♥ 10:33am Trouble: it's on an arthur russell record, so remixed by him, as he frequently did...
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: merci@rover james. yes @mark V, overwhelming sense of sound on that rather new record from todd and friends (2015)
	10:37am βrian: Boy, does this Ali bring back sweet memories.
	♥ 10:46am steveo: so good
	10:48am ron in S FL: This is a great stretch of music, thanks Trouble!
	♥ 10:51am Trouble: merci @ron in SFl
	10:56am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I am being watched so I must go, but Real Estate is awesome! Wow!
	10:57am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Wasn't Boz Burrell in King Crimson? Earthbound?
	11:00am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Yep. Wikipedia confirmed it. Huh.
	11:02am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I guess some Coctuea Twins or Chimera (Grass Records Cocteua Twins type band) is called for now?
	♥ 11:04am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	11:06am northguineahills: As someone who worked for four years for the Census Bureau (2006-2010 in NYC), this is relevant to my interests. Fuck asking about citizenship. That will kill any accurate count!
	♥ 11:06am Trouble: census link participate.lwv.org...
	11:07am northguineahills: (said question was only used in WWI and the years leading to WWII).
	11:07am Karen: Is the question of citizenship on the census currently? Isn’t it disconnected from immigration though? I mean hard to trust that, but I’m just curious.
	♥ 11:08am Passaic River Blues: Thank you for the link, Trouble.
	11:08am Karen: You guys are great. Answered my questions before I got them out.
	11:08am SueAdynamo: thanks!
	11:09am Karen: <3
	11:09am northguineahills: (and we know what happened to American citizens then) @Karen: No, citizenship hasn't been on the form for 70+ years. There are the rare specialized long form questionnaires that may ask the question 1/10,000, but the response has always been voluntary since 1964.
	11:10am northguineahills: I'm rather passionate about this issue....
	♥ 11:11am steveo: #standingdeskdanceparty
	11:13am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Per the constitution the census should merely COUNT people. That's it. How many are there? Anything else is un constitutional. Those "extra" questiolns are extra-constitutional. In other words, above and beyond an therefore illegal. Better answer, though, or face a $10,000 fine!
	11:13am herb.nyc: just tuned in - thank you for the "leave comments on citizenship question". relatedly, my friend and i are donating to MAKE THE ROAD NEW YORK. (her company will match the donation; i do this when donating to wfmu).
	11:14am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: How many PEOPLE are there? Edit. Sorry!
	11:15am Karen: @north Thank you! I’m with you in passion for people to be free in “the land of the free” and in making the census more safe and thus more accurate. I appreciate you helping with my ignorance. :)
	♥ 11:16am SSS: I don't think it is generally well known that census data in Germany was one of the precursors to WW II...in the same way things are happening now.
	11:16am Karen: @steveo Dance party here too!
	11:16am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble for the link. I made a customized message. @Karen: As long as you help me w/ my ignorance, all is good!
	11:17am Karen: @Trouble your music selection is making me feel like my taste is validated!
	11:17am Rover James: dance or work, dance or work, dance or work? ....DANCE!!!!
	11:18am Roger: I like the way she says I like the way you daance
	11:18am northguineahills: @WN: Some of the other questions are for were to government resources, but said questions are voluntary only.
	11:19am northguineahills: ugggh, keyboard dying, Where government resources should go (brain might be shutting down as well).
	11:19am Karen: @north always happy to share knowledge no matter the direction
	♥ 11:22am coelacanth∅: SSS there are countless things the us government is doing, for a few decades now, that are exactly as germany did in the decades prior to ww2; and many nazi quotes and attitudes (& policies, obviously) that apply here now.
	♥ 11:24am Adrian in London: AH!!! THE BLUE NILE!!! Thank you!
	♥ 11:27am Trouble: do you have all three records @ adrian? i only have 2 and the 3rd is selling for mad money...
	♥ 11:28am Ike: Wow, I sure didn't expect @WN to weigh in our side of this census issue. But that door-burning, Polish-lady-ogling gentleman is quite unpredictable! LOL.
	11:29am bobdoesthings: hey all!
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: Trouble, thanks for the BN! There was a fourth one that came later on in 2004, too! The 1st is still my fave.
	11:30am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @SSS-can you please post a link about the pre-cursor census to WWII in Germany? @ Ike-well, I think illegal aliens should not be here in the first place. But asking the census to do the work of ice is like asking the FBI to take kindergarten attendance. I also think Reagan was wrong to cut taxpayer funding to the Post Office. EVERY OTHER country has a state-funded post office, its job is to spread written information affordably for ALL citizens, confidentially.
	11:32am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I also think Barack Obama did a GOOD thing opening talks with Cuba.
	11:32am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: And Jimmy Carter is an upstanding guy. He sounds cool.
	♥ 11:33am SSS: I participated in Jimmy Carters CETA program while in college.
	♥ 11:33am coelacanth∅: in other words, germany is acting responsibly.
	11:33am ottovonbqe: I have been ignoring all the threatening letters the census sent me. I read somewhere they can't really send you to jail, but they will come to your house and harass you.
	11:33am jdaFromCologne: its raising over the lastt few years… even without immigrants… :-)
	11:34am jdaFromCologne: basically as high as 20 years ago…
	11:35am βrian: My dad benefited from CETA, too. It got us through a long rough spot.
	11:35am asm1582: Can't agree with this commentary - but love the show otherwise
	♥ 11:36am Ken From Hyde Park: They should just do the census via Facebook. 1-2-3, easy.
	♥ 11:36am SSS: Cool @Brian, just glad at least someone remembers it.
	♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅: no. all nations on earth should be encouraging less birth. there should be no "maintenance" of a population that surpassed the planet's ability to support it many decades ago.
	11:37am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: When I was out of work a year (2010, hangover from 2008 crash), THANK GOD Obama extended Unemployment Insurance for a year.
	♥ 11:38am ɨkɛ: @jdaFromCologne: 1.59 (your rate in Germany) is still not enough to keep a constant population. As for the US: www.vox.com... @c∅: Agreed. But we're really just talking immigration, not world pop. If people move here from elsewhere, that's no addition the world population, and they'll be in a place where they might be able to learn about and/or get birth control more easily!
	11:39am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @ottovonbqe-I am sure you could always sue the Federal government and get a jury trial that is fair and affordable! Wait....maybe not...I honestly think you should just answer and avoid jail or a fine.
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth∅: true,Ike, but Trouble actually WAS talking about birth rate.
	♥ 11:39am fred: @Ike: Learn more about and get birth control? From Mike Pence and pals?
	11:40am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I think children are a blessing.
	11:40am ottovonbqe: You are probably right, but I got one of the long form things and it is longer than an SAT and very personal. I angrily threw it in the trash.
	11:42am jdaFromCologne: guess we need to import some chineese then… :) in a not economic way i think there are enough germans … pensionwise that sucks of course –but i dont get any anyway…
	♥ 11:42am Trouble: @coelacanth: i am not encouraging giant population growth but i am referring to the continued working of future generations as a way to pay for the services that are needed for the elderly as they begin to work less and need more
	11:42am ottovonbqe: If obama didn't need to do a long form birth certificate, I shouldn't have to to do a long form census.
	♥ 11:42am SSS: I just want to throw this out there. Forgive me for a biblical reference, but Moses debated this issue with God. Moses complains to God how difficult these people are to manage, that they want a King to lead them, and not just to rely on faith and being moral in behavior. God consels against it, saying if you establish a king, he will take a census, and use it to amass an army for wars. It has and always will be populists and fundamentalists that will destroy us.
	♥ 11:44am fred: @ottovonbqe: Kenya is actually pretty advanced when it comes to digital stuff. I'm sure you could fill that form from your phone there
	11:45am mb: ah yeah, i'm here for the Jamaican music segment. Thx Trouble!
	11:46am ottovonbqe: Obama gave me my phone and it sucks! Can't fill out anything except this playlist comment.
	11:47am Lucky: Consumerism (and greed) and the pollution they produce are as much to blame for the planet's inability to support the life forms on it as how many people there are. A balance is required in everything.
	♥ 11:47am ⓘⓚⓔ: @fred good point... I'm in the NYC bubble where we still get free condoms LOL
	11:48am jdaFromCologne: hey trouble… do u know gentleman? he lives around the corner…
	11:48am bobdoesthings: I blame capitalism. Anyone got a new model?
	♥ 11:49am fred: @ottovonbqe: A phone that only works with WFMU??? I'd actually consider getting that model
	♥ 11:50am Trouble: no @ jda from cologne, i don't
	11:51am jdaFromCologne: www.gentleman-music.com...
	11:52am ottovonbqe: @fred - you can have mine when I go off the grid.
	♥ 11:53am Adrian in London: Lovely show today, Trouble. Thanks!
	11:54am Karen: :)
	11:55am βrian: If you love camping, check in with: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org... Coming up, on the hour.
	♥ 11:57am Passaic River Blues: Trouble, still the number one champeen!
	♥ 11:58am coelacanth∅: Trouble @11.42 okay, but that's a vicious cycle. problems will continue to get worse as population increases. there's no rational argument against that. and Lucky (@11.47) is correct, but it is both the population and the selfish ways that people live. the us government encourages selfish living because it benefits their ulterior motives.
	11:58am Philip: Don't take this as a criticism, but this music makes me feel anxious and a little angry.
	11:58am bobdoesthings: thanks toruble!
	♥ 11:59am steveo: Thanks for the fantastic show!
	♥ 12:00pm Barney Grubbs: hurray for barneys

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.

	9:10am Diezel Tea: I think I saw Mary Lattimore perform in Tbilisi last year. I just remember for the fest she was booked as "The Jimi Hendrix of harp" and she was using effects and such.
	9:11am Diezel Tea: Maybe a different female harpist from the US.
	9:11am northguineahills: I knew this was Mary Lattimore!
	9:13am mb: Speaking of "the mic break birds" another DJ at the station borrowed your style, Trouble. He was warned to cease and desist.
	9:14am emily: very sweet to hear "deep purple"
	♥ 9:15am NotARealDoctor: Oh my God, I really dig that clarinet. Okay, okay, back to work. No procrastinating.
	♥ 9:15am Trouble: no @ken from hyde park, there will be no soccer talk. i am not a gloater. @mb, i am not a litigious gal...
	9:15am Diezel Tea: Ah, no it was Zeena Parker, the US harpist that played SOU Festival in Tbilisi. If you're interested in experimental harp music, haha, I guess check her out if ye wisheth.
	9:16am zopa: Trouble! Great show. Loving the Watergate tapes.
	9:18am mb: got me smiling like <that Sun, Trouble : )
	9:18am zopa: Facts!
	9:19am Roberto: I probably wouldn't know who Jeb Magruder was if not for the block of Doonesbury strips devoted to him in the '70s.
	9:22am Diezel Tea: So I'm assuming that's where the rock and roll band Magruder Grind got their name? Was Jeb Magruder into grinding wood? Meat? Crotches? I'm unfamiliar, help.
	♥ 9:23am steveo: note to self: different from Zapruder (& greetings all)
	9:24am exile-on-hicks-st: Maybe sime “Deserter’s Songs”?’
	9:26am exile-on-hicks-st: Or “No New Tale To Tell”. It’s all the same....
	♥ 9:27am G: THIS COMMITTE OWES AN APOLOGY! AN APOLOGY!!
	♥ 9:27am Listener John from NJ: I remember seeing the Watergate hearings on TV and not understanding anything. I knew that John Dean was revealing information that was harmful to the Nixon Administration, but that's all. (I was 11 years old then,)
	9:29am Karen: Morning!
	♥ 9:29am Trouble: check this video to see what this song is from www.youtube.com...
	9:35am Karen: Some of those gulls sounded like they were being profane. Make sure you don’t get in trouble for it. ;)
	9:35am queems: i just bought a mary lattimore album last night
	9:36am Karen: @Trouble, that is cool!
	♥ 9:36am steveo: that is an amazing story about money mark hahaha
	9:37am dug: >Listener John from NJ: that was me during the ollie north hearings
	9:38am exile-on-hicks-st: Harry Shearer did tragi-comic re-enactments of the Nixon Tapes. Worth watching...
	♥ 9:38am melinda: @steveo 9:23 haha
	♥ 9:39am melinda: I learned my Watergate from All the President's Men.
	♥ 9:40am steveo: when i was a kid i thought for sure that C.R.E.E.P was something Mad Magazine made up... (@melinda my mind is doing the best it can)
	♥ 9:41am listener james from westwood: If nobody's mentioned the recent Slow Burn podcast about Watergate, two thumbs up from this quarter. Lifts a lot of rocks.
	♥ 9:42am listener james from westwood: @dug: While out delivering stuff for the drugstore I worked for in high school, I stopped and listened for like a half hour in a parking lot to the North hearings. It was riveting and I finally understood what my parents experienced a decade and change earlier w/ WG.
	♥ 9:44am The Oscar: Mornin' all! As a kid, I didn't have a concept of "dated references"-- if I saw Bugs Bunny make a joke about Eddie Cantor, or found an old National Lampoon with jokes about Spiro Agnew, I felt like the onus was on me to learn about them. I found out about a LOT of 20th century culture that way.
	♥ 9:44am steveo: linda! there's a great youtube of her doing this with the stone poneys....
	9:45am Pam in California: That's my first ever listen to Marvin Pontiac, I really liked it! thanks!
	9:47am thatpatsmith: Different Drum written by Monkee Michael Nesmith
	9:49am rover james: Mmmm This bass is making my car seat feel funny
	♥ 9:50am steveo: Different Drum "first recorded by the northern bluegrass band the Greenbriar Boys and included on their 1966 album, Better Late than Never!" I'm gonna have to look that up, too.
	♥ 9:52am melinda: @Oscar that's a good way of looking at it.
	♥ 9:54am karlward: Man, I love "Lowdown."
	♥ 9:55am MD: Good Morning My Fellow Americans...Keep the Faith! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 9:55am steveo: the greenbriar boys were played twice on wfmu in 2002 by steve krinsky and David/Inner Ear detour. Not that tune though.... (help boz scaggs, pull me out of this rabbit hole)
	♥ 9:55am MeMo BoingBoing: @karlward That's cos you got ears & a brain! What's not to love???
	♥ 9:55am melinda: Digging this too.
	9:56am βrian: Bon jeudi à tous.
	9:58am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning Trouble!
	♥ 9:58am Ken From Hyde Park: What a great name. I know of no other Boz anyone nor anyone Scaggs.
	9:58am Roberto: I recall Boz was ubiquitous on the airwaves circa '77.
	9:59am Lucky: Lowdown IS a perfect song!
	10:01am Itzall Ablurr: Boz Burrell?
	10:01am Itzall Ablurr: Ricky Scaggs?
	♥ 10:02am steveo: that boz scaggs album was #2 on the billboard charts in 1976
	♥ 10:02am steveo: i definitetly don't know any other Itzalls or any other Ablurrs
	10:02am Itzall Ablurr: "Silk Degrees"; it came with a safety edge razor for chopping toot
	10:03am Itzall Ablurr: Haha, I am happy to hear that Mr. steveo! I wanna' be uniquer than those pretenders.
	10:04am βrian: Ducks hailing ducks.
	♥ 10:04am steveo: really? a razor? that sounds like something else national lampoon made up.
	♥ 10:05am MeMo BoingBoing: If Moz is short for Morrissey is Boz short for Borrissey?
	10:05am βrian: When I got to school in the midwest, everybody had a Jersey accent.
	10:05am Roberto: North of Philadelphia is where my kid is currently in college. Main Line?
	10:08am Itzall Ablurr: every copy I ever saw had one along with powdery residue in the center crease, just assumed it was a "premium".
	♥ 10:08am Trouble: @roberto: haverford?? that's where we were visiting, gorgeous campus...
	10:09am emily: I love you, Trouble. xo emily
	10:10am Roberto: Troub: yep. She's between Fresh and Soph years.
	10:11am Roberto: I'm not sure why I capitalized fresh and soph there.
	10:11am βrian: Haverford sounds like a Friendly place.
	♥ 10:12am Trouble: @roberto, great! does she love it there? how often does she go in to philly, if ever?
	♥ 10:12am Trouble: bonjour emily! i love you too!
	10:13am Roberto: She likes it a lot. We all go to Philly together sometimes. The vegan food is surprisingly great there.
	♥ 10:15am Trouble: @roberto: good to hear! i love philly, and dj icepack is a city kid, he wants to be able to move around and see the sights...
	10:16am Roberto: I must admit I hadn't thought about Philly much until she got into Haverford. We visit frequently now and we love it.
	♥ 10:20am Trouble: @roberto: great record shopping, super museums and great food. also the shortness of the houses makes me think i'm in europe: always good!
	10:22am Roberto: My other daughter loves the Mütter Museum.
	10:27am mark v: Woah, this is crazy beautiful. What the heck is it? Hello trouble. Hello all.
	10:30am mark v: Altar of ... that song seemed like it was made of 7 different songs. Great way to take us into swimming!! ❤️
	10:30am rover james: Lovin the WHOLE set today!!!! Keep Killin’ it!
	10:30am northguineahills: Is this Arthur Russel a remix?
	10:32am northguineahills: B/cit sounds like a Kompakt hi-hat...
	♥ 10:33am Trouble: it's on an arthur russell record, so remixed by him, as he frequently did...
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: merci@rover james. yes @mark V, overwhelming sense of sound on that rather new record from todd and friends (2015)
	10:37am βrian: Boy, does this Ali bring back sweet memories.
	♥ 10:46am steveo: so good
	10:48am ron in S FL: This is a great stretch of music, thanks Trouble!
	♥ 10:51am Trouble: merci @ron in SFl
	10:56am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I am being watched so I must go, but Real Estate is awesome! Wow!
	10:57am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Wasn't Boz Burrell in King Crimson? Earthbound?
	11:00am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Yep. Wikipedia confirmed it. Huh.
	11:02am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I guess some Coctuea Twins or Chimera (Grass Records Cocteua Twins type band) is called for now?
	♥ 11:04am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	11:06am northguineahills: As someone who worked for four years for the Census Bureau (2006-2010 in NYC), this is relevant to my interests. Fuck asking about citizenship. That will kill any accurate count!
	♥ 11:06am Trouble: census link participate.lwv.org...
	11:07am northguineahills: (said question was only used in WWI and the years leading to WWII).
	11:07am Karen: Is the question of citizenship on the census currently? Isn’t it disconnected from immigration though? I mean hard to trust that, but I’m just curious.
	♥ 11:08am Passaic River Blues: Thank you for the link, Trouble.
	11:08am Karen: You guys are great. Answered my questions before I got them out.
	11:08am SueAdynamo: thanks!
	11:09am Karen: <3
	11:09am northguineahills: (and we know what happened to American citizens then) @Karen: No, citizenship hasn't been on the form for 70+ years. There are the rare specialized long form questionnaires that may ask the question 1/10,000, but the response has always been voluntary since 1964.
	11:10am northguineahills: I'm rather passionate about this issue....
	♥ 11:11am steveo: #standingdeskdanceparty
	11:13am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Per the constitution the census should merely COUNT people. That's it. How many are there? Anything else is un constitutional. Those "extra" questiolns are extra-constitutional. In other words, above and beyond an therefore illegal. Better answer, though, or face a $10,000 fine!
	11:13am herb.nyc: just tuned in - thank you for the "leave comments on citizenship question". relatedly, my friend and i are donating to MAKE THE ROAD NEW YORK. (her company will match the donation; i do this when donating to wfmu).
	11:14am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: How many PEOPLE are there? Edit. Sorry!
	11:15am Karen: @north Thank you! I’m with you in passion for people to be free in “the land of the free” and in making the census more safe and thus more accurate. I appreciate you helping with my ignorance. :)
	♥ 11:16am SSS: I don't think it is generally well known that census data in Germany was one of the precursors to WW II...in the same way things are happening now.
	11:16am Karen: @steveo Dance party here too!
	11:16am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble for the link. I made a customized message. @Karen: As long as you help me w/ my ignorance, all is good!
	11:17am Karen: @Trouble your music selection is making me feel like my taste is validated!
	11:17am Rover James: dance or work, dance or work, dance or work? ....DANCE!!!!
	11:18am Roger: I like the way she says I like the way you daance
	11:18am northguineahills: @WN: Some of the other questions are for were to government resources, but said questions are voluntary only.
	11:19am northguineahills: ugggh, keyboard dying, Where government resources should go (brain might be shutting down as well).
	11:19am Karen: @north always happy to share knowledge no matter the direction
	♥ 11:22am coelacanth∅: SSS there are countless things the us government is doing, for a few decades now, that are exactly as germany did in the decades prior to ww2; and many nazi quotes and attitudes (& policies, obviously) that apply here now.
	♥ 11:24am Adrian in London: AH!!! THE BLUE NILE!!! Thank you!
	♥ 11:27am Trouble: do you have all three records @ adrian? i only have 2 and the 3rd is selling for mad money...
	♥ 11:28am Ike: Wow, I sure didn't expect @WN to weigh in our side of this census issue. But that door-burning, Polish-lady-ogling gentleman is quite unpredictable! LOL.
	11:29am bobdoesthings: hey all!
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: Trouble, thanks for the BN! There was a fourth one that came later on in 2004, too! The 1st is still my fave.
	11:30am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @SSS-can you please post a link about the pre-cursor census to WWII in Germany? @ Ike-well, I think illegal aliens should not be here in the first place. But asking the census to do the work of ice is like asking the FBI to take kindergarten attendance. I also think Reagan was wrong to cut taxpayer funding to the Post Office. EVERY OTHER country has a state-funded post office, its job is to spread written information affordably for ALL citizens, confidentially.
	11:32am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I also think Barack Obama did a GOOD thing opening talks with Cuba.
	11:32am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: And Jimmy Carter is an upstanding guy. He sounds cool.
	♥ 11:33am SSS: I participated in Jimmy Carters CETA program while in college.
	♥ 11:33am coelacanth∅: in other words, germany is acting responsibly.
	11:33am ottovonbqe: I have been ignoring all the threatening letters the census sent me. I read somewhere they can't really send you to jail, but they will come to your house and harass you.
	11:33am jdaFromCologne: its raising over the lastt few years… even without immigrants… :-)
	11:34am jdaFromCologne: basically as high as 20 years ago…
	11:35am βrian: My dad benefited from CETA, too. It got us through a long rough spot.
	11:35am asm1582: Can't agree with this commentary - but love the show otherwise
	♥ 11:36am Ken From Hyde Park: They should just do the census via Facebook. 1-2-3, easy.
	♥ 11:36am SSS: Cool @Brian, just glad at least someone remembers it.
	♥ 11:36am coelacanth∅: no. all nations on earth should be encouraging less birth. there should be no "maintenance" of a population that surpassed the planet's ability to support it many decades ago.
	11:37am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: When I was out of work a year (2010, hangover from 2008 crash), THANK GOD Obama extended Unemployment Insurance for a year.
	♥ 11:38am ɨkɛ: @jdaFromCologne: 1.59 (your rate in Germany) is still not enough to keep a constant population. As for the US: www.vox.com... @c∅: Agreed. But we're really just talking immigration, not world pop. If people move here from elsewhere, that's no addition the world population, and they'll be in a place where they might be able to learn about and/or get birth control more easily!
	11:39am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @ottovonbqe-I am sure you could always sue the Federal government and get a jury trial that is fair and affordable! Wait....maybe not...I honestly think you should just answer and avoid jail or a fine.
	♥ 11:39am coelacanth∅: true,Ike, but Trouble actually WAS talking about birth rate.
	♥ 11:39am fred: @Ike: Learn more about and get birth control? From Mike Pence and pals?
	11:40am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I think children are a blessing.
	11:40am ottovonbqe: You are probably right, but I got one of the long form things and it is longer than an SAT and very personal. I angrily threw it in the trash.
	11:42am jdaFromCologne: guess we need to import some chineese then… :) in a not economic way i think there are enough germans … pensionwise that sucks of course –but i dont get any anyway…
	♥ 11:42am Trouble: @coelacanth: i am not encouraging giant population growth but i am referring to the continued working of future generations as a way to pay for the services that are needed for the elderly as they begin to work less and need more
	11:42am ottovonbqe: If obama didn't need to do a long form birth certificate, I shouldn't have to to do a long form census.
	♥ 11:42am SSS: I just want to throw this out there. Forgive me for a biblical reference, but Moses debated this issue with God. Moses complains to God how difficult these people are to manage, that they want a King to lead them, and not just to rely on faith and being moral in behavior. God consels against it, saying if you establish a king, he will take a census, and use it to amass an army for wars. It has and always will be populists and fundamentalists that will destroy us.
	♥ 11:44am fred: @ottovonbqe: Kenya is actually pretty advanced when it comes to digital stuff. I'm sure you could fill that form from your phone there
	11:45am mb: ah yeah, i'm here for the Jamaican music segment. Thx Trouble!
	11:46am ottovonbqe: Obama gave me my phone and it sucks! Can't fill out anything except this playlist comment.
	11:47am Lucky: Consumerism (and greed) and the pollution they produce are as much to blame for the planet's inability to support the life forms on it as how many people there are. A balance is required in everything.
	♥ 11:47am ⓘⓚⓔ: @fred good point... I'm in the NYC bubble where we still get free condoms LOL
	11:48am jdaFromCologne: hey trouble… do u know gentleman? he lives around the corner…
	11:48am bobdoesthings: I blame capitalism. Anyone got a new model?
	♥ 11:49am fred: @ottovonbqe: A phone that only works with WFMU??? I'd actually consider getting that model
	♥ 11:50am Trouble: no @ jda from cologne, i don't
	11:51am jdaFromCologne: www.gentleman-music.com...
	11:52am ottovonbqe: @fred - you can have mine when I go off the grid.
	♥ 11:53am Adrian in London: Lovely show today, Trouble. Thanks!
	11:54am Karen: :)
	11:55am βrian: If you love camping, check in with: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org... Coming up, on the hour.
	♥ 11:57am Passaic River Blues: Trouble, still the number one champeen!
	♥ 11:58am coelacanth∅: Trouble @11.42 okay, but that's a vicious cycle. problems will continue to get worse as population increases. there's no rational argument against that. and Lucky (@11.47) is correct, but it is both the population and the selfish ways that people live. the us government encourages selfish living because it benefits their ulterior motives.
	11:58am Philip: Don't take this as a criticism, but this music makes me feel anxious and a little angry.
	11:58am bobdoesthings: thanks toruble!
	♥ 11:59am steveo: Thanks for the fantastic show!
	♥ 12:00pm Barney Grubbs: hurray for barneys
