	9:24am glenn: if you like scott and bailey, i recommend last tango in halifax, also with sarah lancashire, and the magnificent nicola walker.
	♥ 9:26am Trouble: @glenn i tried last tango in halifax. the countryside is breathtaking!!! but i couldn't really connect with the high drama. admittedly scott & bailey can also be over the top at times...
	9:28am glenn: no, you really need to give it a chance. it gets really weird and dark below the surface.
	♥ 9:29am Granny Spicy Tuna: Dawn McCarthy's harmonies really make this lush.
	9:29am Dave in Vermont on the phone: I’d like to see a Jonathan Richman, Bonnie Prince Billy double bill.
	9:31am kevlicki: Ah! So rarely do I hear Will Oldham on WFMU. I just remembered he was in my dream last night! I was showing him a tattoo inspired by his I see A darkness song....weird
	♥ 9:31am Trouble: will give it a try@glenn. i have a sweater that is far from done, and the only time it gets picked up seems to be when i watch tv. so i must watch more tv
	♥ 9:31am Trouble: weird, is right @kevlicki
	9:32am glenn: and if you like aussie stuff, rake is fabulous.
	9:33am Dances with Moomins: Good morning to DJ Trouble and the moderns !

	♥ 9:36am Granny Spicy Tuna: Whoa, that does sound like trouble!
	♥ 9:41am steveo: good morning; glad to be listening; beautiful piece
	9:41am βrian: Bright blue skies over the isthmus today. C'mon over.
	9:42am Lixiviated Life: Has anyone been to the Warhol From A-B exhibit at The Whitney?
	9:43am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning, Trouble. Thanks for sharing!
	9:44am βrian: Those are hyphens, actually.
	9:47am βrian: Fungible. Ugh.
	♥ 9:48am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and modern bird-brains.
	♥ 9:48am ifeelfatnsassy: Awesome. By withdrawing the lot he has already created ill will with the artist and almost certainly cost taxpayers by incurring a withdrawal fee.
	♥ 9:48am robin: i love you, trouble! also i am sending you a song in email.
	9:50am leylou: glad to have known about the -extremely relevant- story behind this painting. thank you!
	♥ 9:52am Webhamster Henry: Hartford CT has a big public art poster up for years that people just hated. They also hated Carl Andre's Stone Field Sculpture.
	♥ 9:53am steveo: @brian on the label's website and on bandcamp they are en dashes (unicode 8211 or hex 2013)
	♥ 9:53am Webhamster Henry: But here in Kingston NY, O+ Festival has been putting up 4 or 5 new public murals every year.
	9:54am Patty D: Love me some sax on a cold snowy morning.
	♥ 9:55am karlward: Research confirms that I am 26% more effective at work when Trouble is on the air. It was nice meeting you at the station last week, Trouble.
	9:55am βrian: Loves me some en dashes.
	♥ 9:55am melinda: I saw mention of the painting sale controversy in my Chicago friends' social media postings, they don't like Rahm for this and other stuff.
	9:56am βrian: Madison's famous public art piece is a spire representing an agglutination of footballs. From even a slight distance, it appears to be a column of fecal pellets.
	9:57am thee Canterbury wood-elf: @βrian Oh yes, i've seen that. Truly awful!
	♥ 9:57am steveo: i'm an em person, myself
	♥ 9:58am Adrian in London: Sorry I'm late – it was my turn to be Brexit Secretary for an hour…
	♥ 9:59am G: The QUEEN!
	10:00am βrian: Dinah has amber in her timbre. Lovely.
	10:02am still b/p: I'd think it would take an hour just to get into the necessary armour, Adrian.
	♥ 10:05am melinda: @Adrian haha
	♥ 10:06am Trouble: hello @karlward: you too!
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: that's so generous of you @ adrian. i hope you turned things around in your short time of public service!
	♥ 10:09am Adrian in London: Basically all us Brits are having a go, failing, then it'll be up to the Polish plumbers to come and do it properly
	10:09am Roberto: G'mornin' Trouble and Troublemakers.
	♥ 10:11am ɨkɛ: Sometimes it seems like half of my professional life is fixing em dashes and en dashes that have turned into unicode gibberish like &8211; or such.
	♥ 10:14am Granny Spicy Tuna: i am a fan of the em dash
	10:15am βrian: Interesting that in the world of XML, &8212; is technically identical to an em dash and so can be interchangeable for a given processor.
	♥ 10:18am Webhamster Henry: Just saying "em dash" brings me back to the type cases in print shop class 50 years ago. Time to tighten the quoins!
	10:19am northguineahills: The only reason May is PM, is no one else wants to touch that hot potato.
	10:19am northguineahills: (now I want a hot potato).
	10:19am βrian: That's a great phrase, WH Henry!
	10:23am D. Lightfoot: em dash all the way
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: hello@ robin! i have been thinking about you and meaning to reach out. hoping all your eye balls are rockin it! x
	10:24am still b/p: Dorothy didn't care for it, always hollerin', "Anti-Em! Anti-Em!"
	10:25am βrian: She was en-thusiastic in that regard ...
	10:25am KRYPT: Hiya Trouble, really great show, swangin' :)
	♥ 10:27am Trouble: merci @KRYPT!
	♥ 10:29am Trouble: next track's back story: boingboing.net...
	10:30am DumDumGuy at the Gates of Dawn: This is some good wet weather music
	10:30am still b/p: Lacking em-pathy.
	♥ 10:31am karlward: Trouble should play something off Metallica's first record, you know, Kill — All
	♥ 10:37am ɛɨk: Cartoon character faces for every DJ! Great idea!
	♥ 10:37am Cmurtha: That's an avante-garde kind of nightmare
	10:37am Itzall Ablurr: STOP NOW! Don't give that guy any "good" ideas!!! Please just stop... haha
	10:39am βrian: Have you noticed the BoingBoing articles use the first-person possessive a lot?
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: all my nightmares are avant garde! like a brothers quay film, freaky. what does that say about me @Cmurtha?
	10:44am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Gee, wouldn't it be cool if Matt Groening would do a T-shirt for WFMU....hmmnnn....
	♥ 10:44am Cmurtha: I don't know trouble. I am not a dream interpreter. Though next time I go to the Suliyemaniyye library I can flip open a dream interpretation manual if I can find it/read it. I'd say it means you are in the avante-gard! or that maybe your dreams are connected with David Lynch or someone else. Both good things I'd wager! All the dreams I can remember are lucid.
	10:45am Matthieu: great show ! Just to say this Chico Mello track was so good... it seems like pretty hard to find as well
	♥ 10:46am Trouble: one of my favorite songs : www.mojo4music.com...
	♥ 10:46am abutthegreat: Good segue, to Massive Attack. But I would have gone with the remix, No Protection, by Mad Professor.
	10:47am ami ad: Hello
	10:48am northguineahills: @WN: It's been documented in interviews, Groening is a fan of WFMU My nightmares are too weird to put in words or graphics. I'm insane enough already to try to articulate them.
	♥ 10:49am Trouble: @matthieu, Chico is also in Telebossa. it's easier to find those cd's. they are gorgeous and i have played them lots on this show, if you want to listen before buying. super dolls, those two!
	♥ 10:50am Passaic River Blues: Was listening to Everything But the Girl remixes recently--I forget sometimes how awesome they were.
	♥ 10:53am Trouble: I love that band@passaicriverblues. although he was a complete ^&*% when he visited fmu
	10:55am northguineahills: It's been a while, PRB, but, yeah, true, It took me forever to get into EBTG, and think it was their early folky albums that was my gateway. Black Ice Cream (Black Sesame Seed flavor please!)!
	♥ 10:55am Cmurtha: How can someone be an #!# at wfmu? All the djs seem so nice, and I feel like the Wholesomeness of Hardy White, Clay Pigeon and others should dispel that kind of energy
	10:57am Dances with Moomins: tar flavor ice cream in finland is black, but an acquired taste
	10:58am βrian: @DWM: Does it taste like pine?
	10:59am Dances with Moomins: yeah, alittle...the salmiaki salty licorice thing is part of it
	♥ 10:59am tiago: made it today to the live show yay!
	♥ 11:00am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: oh man! That's really too bad. Hopefully, Tracey was nice! @NGH: Exactly. Very varied and interesting output over two decades, but in my memory there's just the one single from 1996.
	11:00am still b/p: With feather topping?
	11:01am Dances with Moomins: bring your own feathers
	♥ 11:01am Trouble: @passaic; he was alone. on tour for his book and a new album
	11:02am northguineahills: class actress should team up w/ the artist, actress
	11:03am northguineahills: @PRB: also their d&b pop output also drew me in.
	♥ 11:08am ɛɨk: Black sesame ice cream is great, but red bean is better. As for Groening, I wasn't able to get very far into his new show Disenchantment. Really didn't do it for me.
	♥ 11:09am Passaic River Blues: Bosco and Moondog brought glory to FMU. Hallowed is their memory!
	♥ 11:11am peapod ross: This will get you out of bed and start your day right for sure.
	11:15am northguineahills: @ike: It was nice, but considering that Futurama and Simpsons took some time to find their stride, I'd still give it a chance. (also love red bean ice cream)
	♥ 11:17am steveo: "Françoiz Breut is the stage name of Françoise Breut." Anyone know the significance of this change?
	♥ 11:17am The Oscar: Been slammed at work, but just wanted to say I love this Francoiz Breut-- serious Combustible Edison vibes.
	♥ 11:19am peapod ross: steveo: in France, it's like going from Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. to Snoop Doggy Dogg.
	11:19am northguineahills: What the Oscar said. @Ike: Someone last week accused me as being as curmudgeonly as you. I took it as a compliment.
	♥ 11:21am steveo: haha; slightly more subtle, though; maybe it's to do with rejecting the name as the feminine form of François.
	♥ 11:21am Yvang: @Steveo: She used to be a cartoonist and her signature was Françoiz Brrr www.radio.cz... (final paragraph, in french)
	♥ 11:22am Yvang: "coquetry" she says
	♥ 11:25am steveo: merci, Yvang! seems she's playing her cards close to the vest. "zygomatic" seems to pertain to the cheekbone. So that's still obscure to me.
	11:26am herb.nyc: (oops, i just hit PAUSE, because the Center for Artistic Activism has led me to marxforcats.com... )
	♥ 11:28am The Oscar: Also new Cobra Man!! Their first album was one of my faves from last year.
	11:31am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Maki is a Polish desert made from poppy seeds.
	11:31am northguineahills: Does Cobra Man have a commander?
	11:31am northguineahills: I need to find some Maki the next time I'm in Greenpoint... (love poppy seed desserts).
	♥ 11:32am steveo: anyway it worked because now i will remember her name (remember, remember, remember...)
	♥ 11:37am Cmurtha: The Chipmunks on 16 speed version of Fame is quite spooky.
	♥ 11:37am Cmurtha: and is now stuck in my head because of that Steveo lol
	♥ 11:38am Passaic River Blues: That Josef Vobruba was a sweet pick-up!
	♥ 11:38am steveo: haha; trouble will soon fix that, i'm sure
	11:45am jdaFromCologne: my fav. style council
	11:45am herb.nyc: great Style Council song; i no recall this. i saw them play at the sit-down nyc venue, The Savoy(?). i enjoyed. i wish i can remember more. like, who opened.
	11:46am northguineahills: It's rare that I like the Style Council, but this is one of those times. My friend who owns Desert Isle Comics was at the aforementioned comic fair.
	♥ 11:48am ɛɨk: @NGH@11:19, that's definitely a compliment IMHO, but tell this wanker that they're a raging orange barmpot anyway!
	11:48am BonjourHi: Did that guy just say your cheeks are as round as a baby's butt?
	♥ 11:48am Passaic River Blues: @NGH: I think the guy from Desert Island organized the whole thing. Whatever the case may be, Desert Island is one of those places that remind I am, all things considered and the atrocious shit discounted, fairly lucky to live in the metropolitan area.
	11:49am βrian: "Les fesses d'un bébé."
	11:51am BonjourHi: What a creepy song... did she say she has a crush on her dad's friends?
	11:51am northguineahills: @PRB: I went to college w/ him. He'd give me all of his weird records/cassettes at discount while my wife would pick up surrealist illustrated books and posters.
	♥ 11:51am ⓘⓘⓘⓘⓘⓔ: WFMU: Your Home for All of the Baby Butt-iest Sounds!
	11:53am βrian: The pneumatic tubes are being loaded with ravioli as we speak..
	♥ 11:57am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble!
	♥ 11:58am Cmurtha: very good set!
	11:58am βrian: Ce matin sonore a été tellement génial, DJ Trouble. Merci.
	11:59am northguineahills: merci, Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am Adrian in London: Enjoyed the show today. Great to hear Françoiz Breut especially. Thanks, Trouble
	♥ 11:59am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	12:04pm jdaFromCologne: bye for today

	10:00am βrian: Dinah has amber in her timbre. Lovely.
	10:02am still b/p: I'd think it would take an hour just to get into the necessary armour, Adrian.
	♥ 10:05am melinda: @Adrian haha
	♥ 10:06am Trouble: hello @karlward: you too!
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: that's so generous of you @ adrian. i hope you turned things around in your short time of public service!
	♥ 10:09am Adrian in London: Basically all us Brits are having a go, failing, then it'll be up to the Polish plumbers to come and do it properly
	10:09am Roberto: G'mornin' Trouble and Troublemakers.
	♥ 10:11am ɨkɛ: Sometimes it seems like half of my professional life is fixing em dashes and en dashes that have turned into unicode gibberish like &8211; or such.
	♥ 10:14am Granny Spicy Tuna: i am a fan of the em dash
	10:15am βrian: Interesting that in the world of XML, &8212; is technically identical to an em dash and so can be interchangeable for a given processor.
	♥ 10:18am Webhamster Henry: Just saying "em dash" brings me back to the type cases in print shop class 50 years ago. Time to tighten the quoins!
	10:19am northguineahills: The only reason May is PM, is no one else wants to touch that hot potato.
	10:19am northguineahills: (now I want a hot potato).
	10:19am βrian: That's a great phrase, WH Henry!
	10:23am D. Lightfoot: em dash all the way
	♥ 10:24am Trouble: hello@ robin! i have been thinking about you and meaning to reach out. hoping all your eye balls are rockin it! x
	10:24am still b/p: Dorothy didn't care for it, always hollerin', "Anti-Em! Anti-Em!"
	10:25am βrian: She was en-thusiastic in that regard ...
	10:25am KRYPT: Hiya Trouble, really great show, swangin' :)
	♥ 10:27am Trouble: merci @KRYPT!
	♥ 10:29am Trouble: next track's back story: boingboing.net...
	10:30am DumDumGuy at the Gates of Dawn: This is some good wet weather music
	10:30am still b/p: Lacking em-pathy.
	♥ 10:31am karlward: Trouble should play something off Metallica's first record, you know, Kill — All
	♥ 10:37am ɛɨk: Cartoon character faces for every DJ! Great idea!
	♥ 10:37am Cmurtha: That's an avante-garde kind of nightmare
	10:37am Itzall Ablurr: STOP NOW! Don't give that guy any "good" ideas!!! Please just stop... haha
	10:39am βrian: Have you noticed the BoingBoing articles use the first-person possessive a lot?
	♥ 10:41am Trouble: all my nightmares are avant garde! like a brothers quay film, freaky. what does that say about me @Cmurtha?
	10:44am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Gee, wouldn't it be cool if Matt Groening would do a T-shirt for WFMU....hmmnnn....
	♥ 10:44am Cmurtha: I don't know trouble. I am not a dream interpreter. Though next time I go to the Suliyemaniyye library I can flip open a dream interpretation manual if I can find it/read it. I'd say it means you are in the avante-gard! or that maybe your dreams are connected with David Lynch or someone else. Both good things I'd wager! All the dreams I can remember are lucid.
	10:45am Matthieu: great show ! Just to say this Chico Mello track was so good... it seems like pretty hard to find as well
	♥ 10:46am Trouble: one of my favorite songs : www.mojo4music.com...
	♥ 10:46am abutthegreat: Good segue, to Massive Attack. But I would have gone with the remix, No Protection, by Mad Professor.
	10:47am ami ad: Hello
	10:48am northguineahills: @WN: It's been documented in interviews, Groening is a fan of WFMU My nightmares are too weird to put in words or graphics. I'm insane enough already to try to articulate them.
	♥ 10:49am Trouble: @matthieu, Chico is also in Telebossa. it's easier to find those cd's. they are gorgeous and i have played them lots on this show, if you want to listen before buying. super dolls, those two!
	♥ 10:50am Passaic River Blues: Was listening to Everything But the Girl remixes recently--I forget sometimes how awesome they were.
	♥ 10:53am Trouble: I love that band@passaicriverblues. although he was a complete ^&*% when he visited fmu
	10:55am northguineahills: It's been a while, PRB, but, yeah, true, It took me forever to get into EBTG, and think it was their early folky albums that was my gateway. Black Ice Cream (Black Sesame Seed flavor please!)!
	♥ 10:55am Cmurtha: How can someone be an #!# at wfmu? All the djs seem so nice, and I feel like the Wholesomeness of Hardy White, Clay Pigeon and others should dispel that kind of energy
	10:57am Dances with Moomins: tar flavor ice cream in finland is black, but an acquired taste
	10:58am βrian: @DWM: Does it taste like pine?
	10:59am Dances with Moomins: yeah, alittle...the salmiaki salty licorice thing is part of it
	♥ 10:59am tiago: made it today to the live show yay!
	♥ 11:00am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: oh man! That's really too bad. Hopefully, Tracey was nice! @NGH: Exactly. Very varied and interesting output over two decades, but in my memory there's just the one single from 1996.
	11:00am still b/p: With feather topping?
	11:01am Dances with Moomins: bring your own feathers
	♥ 11:01am Trouble: @passaic; he was alone. on tour for his book and a new album
	11:02am northguineahills: class actress should team up w/ the artist, actress
	11:03am northguineahills: @PRB: also their d&b pop output also drew me in.
	♥ 11:08am ɛɨk: Black sesame ice cream is great, but red bean is better. As for Groening, I wasn't able to get very far into his new show Disenchantment. Really didn't do it for me.
	♥ 11:09am Passaic River Blues: Bosco and Moondog brought glory to FMU. Hallowed is their memory!
	♥ 11:11am peapod ross: This will get you out of bed and start your day right for sure.
	11:15am northguineahills: @ike: It was nice, but considering that Futurama and Simpsons took some time to find their stride, I'd still give it a chance. (also love red bean ice cream)
	♥ 11:17am steveo: "Françoiz Breut is the stage name of Françoise Breut." Anyone know the significance of this change?
	♥ 11:17am The Oscar: Been slammed at work, but just wanted to say I love this Francoiz Breut-- serious Combustible Edison vibes.
	♥ 11:19am peapod ross: steveo: in France, it's like going from Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. to Snoop Doggy Dogg.
	11:19am northguineahills: What the Oscar said. @Ike: Someone last week accused me as being as curmudgeonly as you. I took it as a compliment.
	♥ 11:21am steveo: haha; slightly more subtle, though; maybe it's to do with rejecting the name as the feminine form of François.
	♥ 11:21am Yvang: @Steveo: She used to be a cartoonist and her signature was Françoiz Brrr www.radio.cz... (final paragraph, in french)
	♥ 11:22am Yvang: "coquetry" she says
	♥ 11:25am steveo: merci, Yvang! seems she's playing her cards close to the vest. "zygomatic" seems to pertain to the cheekbone. So that's still obscure to me.
	11:26am herb.nyc: (oops, i just hit PAUSE, because the Center for Artistic Activism has led me to marxforcats.com... )
	♥ 11:28am The Oscar: Also new Cobra Man!! Their first album was one of my faves from last year.
	11:31am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Maki is a Polish desert made from poppy seeds.
	11:31am northguineahills: Does Cobra Man have a commander?
	11:31am northguineahills: I need to find some Maki the next time I'm in Greenpoint... (love poppy seed desserts).
	♥ 11:32am steveo: anyway it worked because now i will remember her name (remember, remember, remember...)
	♥ 11:37am Cmurtha: The Chipmunks on 16 speed version of Fame is quite spooky.
	♥ 11:37am Cmurtha: and is now stuck in my head because of that Steveo lol
	♥ 11:38am Passaic River Blues: That Josef Vobruba was a sweet pick-up!
	♥ 11:38am steveo: haha; trouble will soon fix that, i'm sure
	11:45am jdaFromCologne: my fav. style council
	11:45am herb.nyc: great Style Council song; i no recall this. i saw them play at the sit-down nyc venue, The Savoy(?). i enjoyed. i wish i can remember more. like, who opened.
	11:46am northguineahills: It's rare that I like the Style Council, but this is one of those times. My friend who owns Desert Isle Comics was at the aforementioned comic fair.
	♥ 11:48am ɛɨk: @NGH@11:19, that's definitely a compliment IMHO, but tell this wanker that they're a raging orange barmpot anyway!
	11:48am BonjourHi: Did that guy just say your cheeks are as round as a baby's butt?
	♥ 11:48am Passaic River Blues: @NGH: I think the guy from Desert Island organized the whole thing. Whatever the case may be, Desert Island is one of those places that remind I am, all things considered and the atrocious shit discounted, fairly lucky to live in the metropolitan area.
	11:49am βrian: "Les fesses d'un bébé."
	11:51am BonjourHi: What a creepy song... did she say she has a crush on her dad's friends?
	11:51am northguineahills: @PRB: I went to college w/ him. He'd give me all of his weird records/cassettes at discount while my wife would pick up surrealist illustrated books and posters.
	♥ 11:51am ⓘⓘⓘⓘⓘⓔ: WFMU: Your Home for All of the Baby Butt-iest Sounds!
	11:53am βrian: The pneumatic tubes are being loaded with ravioli as we speak..
	♥ 11:57am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble!
	♥ 11:58am Cmurtha: very good set!
	11:58am βrian: Ce matin sonore a été tellement génial, DJ Trouble. Merci.
	11:59am northguineahills: merci, Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am Adrian in London: Enjoyed the show today. Great to hear Françoiz Breut especially. Thanks, Trouble
	♥ 11:59am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
