	9:40am Dave Conehead: Wha?
	9:40am ZeeBee: Aw I appreciate all this fabulous Baltimore made music, I moved from there last June and some mornings wake up greatly missing the city and some of its amazing people and music. Good morning trouble and listener friends!
	♥ 9:41am ParUbi: The alien wanted to communicate with whales but they were extinct. So, back in time, naturally!
	♥ 9:42am steveo: why does kindle insist on skipping all the front matter in a book? doesn't everyone read the copyright page when they start reading a book???
	♥ 9:43am Webhamster Henry: As Microtonalist , trafficing amongst uber-nerdy scale theorists, I find that pitch is overrated.

	♥ 9:51am Trouble: yes @ dances it did. just maybe 2 weeks ago...
	9:52am John from Florham park: Live miles Davis even if he was cranky at times
	9:59am sphere: hullo
	♥ 9:59am CHUCK ROAST: There's no place I'd rather be than right here, right now, vicarious as it may appear to be.
	10:04am hinorm: I think the jazz musicians don't know what they mean half the time either.
	10:05am βrian: What? Has the great pumpkin purge happened?
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: oooo i see what you mean @ brian. i guess it's in anticipation of the march fundraising madness that actually starts in february
	10:07am sphere: @ hinorm - agreed. i think musicians feel pressure to explain themselves when they can't, and a fair amount of nonsense gets generated as a result.
	♥ 10:09am Handy Haversack: Thought the board looked a little bare, βrian. Good catch.
	10:09am βrian : I recall our hearts were cut out last Valentine's Day. sniff
	10:09am Martinibomb: Diggin' the tunes this morning. Thanks, Trouble!
	10:10am βrian: What is a soul do do?
	10:11am hinorm: @sphere So true. My band was interviewed on college radio show once. The hosts always want you to give deep explanations of your music. I think my band answered the truth - our songs didn't mean anything - followed by dead air.
	10:13am Dances with Moomins: Brain , I don't know...but don't want to touch it
	♥ 10:14am ifeelfatnsassy: This set is great.
	♥ 10:15am CHUCK ROAST: I understand that today is Galentine's Day. God save us!
	10:19am SHAGALOV: @CHUCK ROAST also today is World Radio Day
	10:21am βrian: Galette Day seems like a tasty option.
	10:23am hinorm: laziest gal-en-tine?
	10:23am sphere: We should have a National Day Celebration Day.
	10:25am waters7: You're bringing tears to these dry eyes, Trouble.
	10:26am sispus: I just want to thank you, Trouble.
	♥ 10:27am Trouble: don't cry @ water7: a standard poodle won the westminister kennel show!!!
	10:29am Hubig Pie: I'll take that galette with some apple poached with a little calvados and vanilla bean ice cream
	10:32am tath: feeling sheepish was such a good track
	10:33am βrian: Loves me some Calvados.
	10:35am ignatatus666: That’s an old turntable!!
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: you are very welcome @ sispus. thanks@ifeelfatnsassy, @martinibomb
	♥ 10:36am melinda: Chuck Roast your kitties are cute.
	♥ 10:37am ifeelfatnsassy: But what about the poor Irish Water Setter that got kicked out for standing her ground when the judge got handsy? She gave clear signals when she lunged at the judge, but that damn judge kept trying to put hands on her.
	10:37am waters7: My favorite poodle winner of all time was "Whisperwind on a Pedestal." Google and weep, fellow listeners. Now that was a dog!
	10:41am Mike Wolf: i am happy to be here on this otherwise non-day
	♥ 10:42am ifeelfatnsassy: It actually looks like Simone, the Irish Water Setter, might have been stepped on by the judge, explaining her behavior. Who can blame her for not wanting that judge to examine her.
	♥ 10:42am Trouble: i did poodlegoggle it: i found zip. are you sure that is the name? that is one crazeeee name. i want to see this outstanding creature. since i think siba is the bomb...
	♥ 10:45am Barney Grubbs: looks like it was "whisperwind on a carousel"
	10:46am sphere: We need more coverage of cat shows.
	♥ 10:48am CHUCK ROAST: @Melinda Their baby pic was originally posted by their vet on FB 5 years ago. It got hundreds of hits.
	♥ 10:48am Barney Grubbs: ...or "Peter" to friends (www.whisperwindstandardpoodles.com...)
	10:49am waters7: Thanks, super sleuth BG aka Peter
	10:50am βrian: Would these guys be 79,5 in France?
	♥ 10:51am Barney Grubbs: (@waters7: I'm actually a Robert like 95% of white men born before 1975, but could answer to peter if need be)
	♥ 10:54am Trouble: thanks @barney grubbs! i still adore siba.
	♥ 10:55am melinda: Topiary poodles look so weird.
	♥ 10:58am Trouble: yes @ melinda, that's what is so great about them, that strangeness
	10:59am D. Lightfoot: the skillset of grooming real vs. shrubbery poodles is transferable
	11:00am Martinibomb: love the Isabelle Antena
	♥ 11:00am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	11:01am βrian: They look a bit like floatation devices.
	11:03am sphere: @ Barney Grubbs - Another Robert here. :)
	11:03am D. Lightfoot: You are talking about revolution!
	11:03am Cabbage: Preach, Zen teacher!
	11:04am sphere: I will start by not reading the book!
	11:05am D. Lightfoot: hah! stole my joke. "I will start the do-nothing revolution when I feel like it"
	11:05am βrian: I'm a fan of the osmotic reading method.
	11:05am sphere: @ D. Lightfoot - I will not use my energy by apologizing though I feel bad.
	11:06am James727: Odell was interviewed on Techtonic. It's in the archives. Great interview.
	♥ 11:06am Barney Grubbs: @sphere - my father and father-in-law are both Roberts of the Bob variety (though my dad's from kentucky, so his given name was actually Bobby -- it got changed to Robert later)
	♥ 11:07am Trouble: www.penguinrandomhouse.com...
	♥ 11:07am Passaic River Blues: @James727: you're right! Here's the link to the Jenny Odell interview: www.wfmu.org...
	11:08am sphere: @ Barney Grubbs - Fancy you mention that. I am a Rob because I am named after my father Bob (who lives in North Carolina). This way I avoid being a Bobby, a Bob Jr., a Little Bob, and so on.
	11:08am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Good morning to Trouble and all the Troubled. Hope everyone is having a fine day and don't forget to be nice. Always time to be nice. And Happy Valentine's Day Eve to you all!
	♥ 11:09am tim from champaign (now washington): If there's one thing I'm good at, it's doing nothing. In all seriousness, I'd like to read that book. That's long been my philosophy regarding things I don't want in my life. It's not always so simple but it can be with certain things.
	11:09am Carmichael: Heya Trouble and listeners.
	11:09am βrian: The plight of Bobby: i.pinimg.com...
	♥ 11:10am Barney Grubbs: @sphere -- I know how it is.That's how I ended up a barney (though after my mom's dad who was a barney/bernard)
	11:11am Carmichael: Sounds like time for viewing the film Bob Roberts.
	♥ 11:15am Trouble: thanks @ james 727, will listen to that.
	♥ 11:17am officina: Hey Trouble, I also had that book lingering in the hind brain. Now I'll get it. Also great is Bertrand Russell's essay "In praise of Idleness"
	♥ 11:20am Webhamster Henry: This is the Bonzo's Legs Larry Smith?
	♥ 11:21am Trouble: will look that up @ officina, merci
	♥ 11:23am rabblerabble: great set so far, Trouble. and coincidentally i'm on ch. 3 of HTDN right now.
	♥ 11:27am Gaylord Fields: Hi, Trouble! The nature of my work is such that listening to your show is generally distracting for all the right reasons (i.e., I get pulled into the show so deeply that I can't concentrate on my work). But today I say the hell with all that! I'm in!
	♥ 11:31am Trouble: bonjour gaylord! merci for shirking your duties
	♥ 11:34am Trouble: merci @ rabblerabble
	♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, troubled citizens.
	♥ 11:41am tim from champaign (now washington): Is this Animal Collective related (sorry, I missed the mic break).
	♥ 11:42am the Master: Joan Mitchell is awesome! I can get lost in her art for hours.
	♥ 11:43am Trouble: no @ tim: he is from spain ( sorry i had thought he was from argentina)
	♥ 11:45am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks Trouble. It sounded great!
	♥ 11:46am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: I thought El Guincho was from Argentina, too. I believe around a decade ago he put out a lot of Argentine-style cumbia pop tracks, and just assumed.
	11:48am patrick from Chicago: El Guincho's Spanish version of Palmitos Park is excellent too! It's been rattling around in my brain for over a decade now
	♥ 11:51am Trouble: oh @ passaic river blues, so it wasn't just me... viva l'espagne!
	♥ 11:51am CHUCK ROAST: Trouble , always a pleasure. Hear ya next week.
	♥ 11:51am Handy Haversack: Thanks for a great show, Trouble!
	11:53am HotRod (DJ Atabey: Yes......I love it !!! Saludos from Puerto Rico !!
	♥ 11:53am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning! see you next week, when we are ever closer to the end of februray.
	♥ 11:54am Trouble: hola@hotrod!!
	11:54am βrian: Hey, Meghan's filling in on the Drummer Stream. wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:55am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble! Big ups to the Island of Enchantment, @DJ Atabey!
	11:55am Mike Wolf: sawbones = submarine bells!
	♥ 11:55am Gaylord Fields: @HotRod: Hi, former neighbor and colleague! Hope you're doing great!
	♥ 11:55am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Trouble!
	11:57am HotRod (DJ Atabey): ♡♢♡♢♡ Trouble pulled me into the show...with Buscabulla...haha
	11:57am βrian: Mille mercis, DJ Trouble.
	11:58am Listener Gregory: Couldn't tune in until half an hour ago, but wanted to thank you for the Joan Mitchell painting.
	11:58am HotRod (DJ Atabey): Esoooooo !! Vamonos !!! :)
	♥ 11:59am Rich in Washington: Fantastic show today! I listened to the near entirety of it while stuck in traffic.
	11:59am βrian: Beso de muerte, it always kills.
	♥ 12:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, HotRod. Hope you're well.
	12:01pm Jim Price: Great show. Haven't heard Legs Larry at Television Center in over 30 years!
	12:02pm HotRod: @GaylordFields: All my LOVE !!!!! So nice to reconnect !!!!

	9:40am ZeeBee: Aw I appreciate all this fabulous Baltimore made music, I moved from there last June and some mornings wake up greatly missing the city and some of its amazing people and music. Good morning trouble and listener friends!
	♥ 9:41am ParUbi: The alien wanted to communicate with whales but they were extinct. So, back in time, naturally!
	♥ 9:42am steveo: why does kindle insist on skipping all the front matter in a book? doesn't everyone read the copyright page when they start reading a book???
	♥ 9:43am Webhamster Henry: As Microtonalist , trafficing amongst uber-nerdy scale theorists, I find that pitch is overrated.
	♥ 9:43am steveo: i'm talking too much, but wow this liz durette is wonderful
	♥ 9:44am Handy Haversack: _Wish Her Safe at Home_ added to the to-read list. Thanks, Trouble.
	♥ 9:44am ParUbi: Well, it's good for making torches, but I don't always want to put it in my ears.
	9:44am John from Florham park: @Parubi howdy
	♥ 9:46am ParUbi: Hi John!
	9:48am Dances with Moomins: I thought it was a book about baseball!
	♥ 9:49am Trouble: thank you@dances with moomins for my annual lovely finnish christmas card!
	9:49am Dances with Moomins: Trouble plays Miles!
	9:50am Dances with Moomins: Did it come really late ? There was a strike at Posti for all of Nov. Cheers!
	9:51am sugarwolf: I need to make more mittens.
	9:51am Barba Yiorgi: that waltz piece was amazing. i looked her up, its some kinda touch-sensitive MIDI keyboard. finally someone doing something beautiful and special with midi keybds Thanks!
	9:51am SHAGALOV: Miles Davis is always breaking my heart ♡♡♡♡♡
	♥ 9:51am Trouble: yes @ dances it did. just maybe 2 weeks ago...
	9:52am John from Florham park: Live miles Davis even if he was cranky at times
	9:59am sphere: hullo
	♥ 9:59am CHUCK ROAST: There's no place I'd rather be than right here, right now, vicarious as it may appear to be.
	10:04am hinorm: I think the jazz musicians don't know what they mean half the time either.
	10:05am βrian: What? Has the great pumpkin purge happened?
	♥ 10:07am Trouble: oooo i see what you mean @ brian. i guess it's in anticipation of the march fundraising madness that actually starts in february
	10:07am sphere: @ hinorm - agreed. i think musicians feel pressure to explain themselves when they can't, and a fair amount of nonsense gets generated as a result.
	♥ 10:09am Handy Haversack: Thought the board looked a little bare, βrian. Good catch.
	10:09am βrian : I recall our hearts were cut out last Valentine's Day. sniff
	10:09am Martinibomb: Diggin' the tunes this morning. Thanks, Trouble!
	10:10am βrian: What is a soul do do?
	10:11am hinorm: @sphere So true. My band was interviewed on college radio show once. The hosts always want you to give deep explanations of your music. I think my band answered the truth - our songs didn't mean anything - followed by dead air.
	10:13am Dances with Moomins: Brain , I don't know...but don't want to touch it
	♥ 10:14am ifeelfatnsassy: This set is great.
	♥ 10:15am CHUCK ROAST: I understand that today is Galentine's Day. God save us!
	10:19am SHAGALOV: @CHUCK ROAST also today is World Radio Day
	10:21am βrian: Galette Day seems like a tasty option.
	10:23am hinorm: laziest gal-en-tine?
	10:23am sphere: We should have a National Day Celebration Day.
	10:25am waters7: You're bringing tears to these dry eyes, Trouble.
	10:26am sispus: I just want to thank you, Trouble.
	♥ 10:27am Trouble: don't cry @ water7: a standard poodle won the westminister kennel show!!!
	10:29am Hubig Pie: I'll take that galette with some apple poached with a little calvados and vanilla bean ice cream
	10:32am tath: feeling sheepish was such a good track
	10:33am βrian: Loves me some Calvados.
	10:35am ignatatus666: That’s an old turntable!!
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: you are very welcome @ sispus. thanks@ifeelfatnsassy, @martinibomb
	♥ 10:36am melinda: Chuck Roast your kitties are cute.
	♥ 10:37am ifeelfatnsassy: But what about the poor Irish Water Setter that got kicked out for standing her ground when the judge got handsy? She gave clear signals when she lunged at the judge, but that damn judge kept trying to put hands on her.
	10:37am waters7: My favorite poodle winner of all time was "Whisperwind on a Pedestal." Google and weep, fellow listeners. Now that was a dog!
	10:41am Mike Wolf: i am happy to be here on this otherwise non-day
	♥ 10:42am ifeelfatnsassy: It actually looks like Simone, the Irish Water Setter, might have been stepped on by the judge, explaining her behavior. Who can blame her for not wanting that judge to examine her.
	♥ 10:42am Trouble: i did poodlegoggle it: i found zip. are you sure that is the name? that is one crazeeee name. i want to see this outstanding creature. since i think siba is the bomb...
	♥ 10:45am Barney Grubbs: looks like it was "whisperwind on a carousel"
	10:46am sphere: We need more coverage of cat shows.
	♥ 10:48am CHUCK ROAST: @Melinda Their baby pic was originally posted by their vet on FB 5 years ago. It got hundreds of hits.
	♥ 10:48am Barney Grubbs: ...or "Peter" to friends (www.whisperwindstandardpoodles.com...)
	10:49am waters7: Thanks, super sleuth BG aka Peter
	10:50am βrian: Would these guys be 79,5 in France?
	♥ 10:51am Barney Grubbs: (@waters7: I'm actually a Robert like 95% of white men born before 1975, but could answer to peter if need be)
	♥ 10:54am Trouble: thanks @barney grubbs! i still adore siba.
	♥ 10:55am melinda: Topiary poodles look so weird.
	♥ 10:58am Trouble: yes @ melinda, that's what is so great about them, that strangeness
	10:59am D. Lightfoot: the skillset of grooming real vs. shrubbery poodles is transferable
	11:00am Martinibomb: love the Isabelle Antena
	♥ 11:00am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	11:01am βrian: They look a bit like floatation devices.
	11:03am sphere: @ Barney Grubbs - Another Robert here. :)
	11:03am D. Lightfoot: You are talking about revolution!
	11:03am Cabbage: Preach, Zen teacher!
	11:04am sphere: I will start by not reading the book!
	11:05am D. Lightfoot: hah! stole my joke. "I will start the do-nothing revolution when I feel like it"
	11:05am βrian: I'm a fan of the osmotic reading method.
	11:05am sphere: @ D. Lightfoot - I will not use my energy by apologizing though I feel bad.
	11:06am James727: Odell was interviewed on Techtonic. It's in the archives. Great interview.
	♥ 11:06am Barney Grubbs: @sphere - my father and father-in-law are both Roberts of the Bob variety (though my dad's from kentucky, so his given name was actually Bobby -- it got changed to Robert later)
	♥ 11:07am Trouble: www.penguinrandomhouse.com...
	♥ 11:07am Passaic River Blues: @James727: you're right! Here's the link to the Jenny Odell interview: www.wfmu.org...
	11:08am sphere: @ Barney Grubbs - Fancy you mention that. I am a Rob because I am named after my father Bob (who lives in North Carolina). This way I avoid being a Bobby, a Bob Jr., a Little Bob, and so on.
	11:08am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Good morning to Trouble and all the Troubled. Hope everyone is having a fine day and don't forget to be nice. Always time to be nice. And Happy Valentine's Day Eve to you all!
	♥ 11:09am tim from champaign (now washington): If there's one thing I'm good at, it's doing nothing. In all seriousness, I'd like to read that book. That's long been my philosophy regarding things I don't want in my life. It's not always so simple but it can be with certain things.
	11:09am Carmichael: Heya Trouble and listeners.
	11:09am βrian: The plight of Bobby: i.pinimg.com...
	♥ 11:10am Barney Grubbs: @sphere -- I know how it is.That's how I ended up a barney (though after my mom's dad who was a barney/bernard)
	11:11am Carmichael: Sounds like time for viewing the film Bob Roberts.
	♥ 11:15am Trouble: thanks @ james 727, will listen to that.
	♥ 11:17am officina: Hey Trouble, I also had that book lingering in the hind brain. Now I'll get it. Also great is Bertrand Russell's essay "In praise of Idleness"
	♥ 11:20am Webhamster Henry: This is the Bonzo's Legs Larry Smith?
	♥ 11:21am Trouble: will look that up @ officina, merci
	♥ 11:23am rabblerabble: great set so far, Trouble. and coincidentally i'm on ch. 3 of HTDN right now.
	♥ 11:27am Gaylord Fields: Hi, Trouble! The nature of my work is such that listening to your show is generally distracting for all the right reasons (i.e., I get pulled into the show so deeply that I can't concentrate on my work). But today I say the hell with all that! I'm in!
	♥ 11:31am Trouble: bonjour gaylord! merci for shirking your duties
	♥ 11:34am Trouble: merci @ rabblerabble
	♥ 11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, troubled citizens.
	♥ 11:41am tim from champaign (now washington): Is this Animal Collective related (sorry, I missed the mic break).
	♥ 11:42am the Master: Joan Mitchell is awesome! I can get lost in her art for hours.
	♥ 11:43am Trouble: no @ tim: he is from spain ( sorry i had thought he was from argentina)
	♥ 11:45am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks Trouble. It sounded great!
	♥ 11:46am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: I thought El Guincho was from Argentina, too. I believe around a decade ago he put out a lot of Argentine-style cumbia pop tracks, and just assumed.
	11:48am patrick from Chicago: El Guincho's Spanish version of Palmitos Park is excellent too! It's been rattling around in my brain for over a decade now
	♥ 11:51am Trouble: oh @ passaic river blues, so it wasn't just me... viva l'espagne!
	♥ 11:51am CHUCK ROAST: Trouble , always a pleasure. Hear ya next week.
	♥ 11:51am Handy Haversack: Thanks for a great show, Trouble!
