	9:20am sphere: Wow, I didn't know that Play It Again Sam had shrunk their name down to PIAS.
	9:23am Peter from Dover NJ: Hello Trouble. And with my stress level at an all time high, I agree with zivilars. A beautiful and much needed set.
	9:23am Snoochienucci: loving this so far Trouble! so calming
	9:23am zivilars: Trouble should definitely become #1 curator for meditation music compilations
	9:24am zivilars: just need to close my eyes and everything's okay for a moment
	9:25am Ike: Don't have a cow, woman.
	9:25am Snoochienucci: @zivilars i agree with this completely! Wish i could spin a vinyl of all Troubles hand picked mellow vibes songs
	9:25am Wilson: Ah you're saving me right now
	9:25am John from Florham park: @Trouble thanks for this calming music, Keeps our mind off what is happening
	9:25am Handy Haversack: Been loving this Tapes track.
	9:27am Peter in SEA: Vinylphiles: What is the benefit of a 10", cheaper, shorter, better? ;-)
	9:28am Ken From Hyde Park: This would also make a great ringtone.
	9:29am Snoochienucci: @Ken from hyde park - idk if id ever pick up the phone thou!
	9:30am Jeff formerly from Rahway: This Tapes tune transports me back to my dentist’s office circa 1987.
	9:32am Ike: Disclaimer: The above comment was an attempt at a Simpsons reference/joke. In actuality, I support women having as many cows as they like. In fact, cows for everybody!
	9:33am zivilars: Hope this track is at least two hours long for full effect
	9:33am austin: I'm looking forward to kelly reichardt's new film First Cow
	9:34am crateslinger: I avoid the news mostly these days, but reading the comments I suspect I missed something big. Somebody want to tell me the bad news or are we all just still in a perpetual state of panic?
	9:34am Ken From Hyde Park: ¡Ay, caramba, Ike!
	9:34am Handy Haversack: @Ike, I caught it. Could see a T-shirt. Abunga!
	9:35am Wilson: Oh sure @crateslinger: the world's being driven off a cliff for pleasure and profit. More as the story develops.
	9:36am Lixiviated Life: nope
	9:37am PersistanceOfVision: Sounds great, Trouble. Thank you!
	9:37am crateslinger: Cheers Wilson - thank god it's just that. @nholliewog - I rode my bike in the wind too. Actually knocked me over at a red light. Felt so stupid.
	9:38am Brian in Charlottesville: Sounds good here in VA, Trouble. Have a great show.
	9:38am Irene: Everything sounds good on air, Trouble!
	9:40am Trouble: thanks @irene!!
	9:40am riley: All sounds good here in Asheville. Good morning!
	9:42am Trouble: thanks@ brian, @riley!
	9:43am John from Florham park: @Trouble loud and clear from Florham Park
	9:46am Dances with Moomins: Sounds wonderful in Turku !
	9:46am nholliewog: @crateslinger, oh no! (lol) I'm glad it wasn't at a green light. Wind is the most invisible of earthly forces so don't feel too stupid you couldn't have seen it comin
	9:54am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble, from sleety snowy/bright sunny London
	9:55am zivilars: how do you make somebody fall in love - what a nice song
	9:55am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble and Modernaires!
	9:56am crateslinger: @nholliewog - A big intersection full of cars and people and as far as they were concerned I just fell over for no reason. I hammed it up a little and tossed my legs in the air. Then got out of there as fast as I could. It wasn't so much the wind blowing me over as I was bracing against it and then it stopped and I plopped. I'm sure I made at least one person's day.
	9:57am Park Slope Historic District: Park Slope loves Antena!
	9:58am crateslinger: and yeah pretty happy nobody ran me over
	9:59am steveo: Hi Trouble. Thanks for the book recommendation of Wish Her Safe at Home. I feel like her most of the time, which I guess is what makes it so unsettling. I'm getting into the end now, and I can happily report that I'm not as bad as her, haha. Favorite line so far: "if this were an invasion of the body snatchers would you be one of the bodies or one of the snatchers?"
	10:00am βrian: Ready for T-rouble. Chilly skies over the isthmus today.
	10:00am Trouble: yeah park slope historic district!who doesn't love antena! i have that record on vinyl and the cd re-issue, that's how much i love it...
	10:00am John from Florham park: @aadrian in London good luck with that storm thus weekend
	10:01am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Windy in DC too. Rough ride in but I should get pushed all the way home.
	10:03am steveo: i must have had a tailwind: I didn't notice the wind much and I got to work early....
	10:03am Handy Haversack: White caps on Newtown Creek from the Pulaski Bridge this morning. Four mergansers and two herring gulls holding in place on the water.
	10:05am βrian: There's not a kind of DMZ around Studio B? Some kind of buffer zone?
	10:06am crateslinger: @Handy - you walk the Pulaski? I ride it every day. We've probably stood next to each other waiting for the drawbridge to go down.
	10:07am Webhamster Henry: Harry Bertoia chairs!
	10:07am Adrian in London: I think the Yearning are from Oxfordshire, somewhat chillier than Mexico City ;-)
	10:07am Reno D: Bertoia
	10:08am steveo: @cratesinger haha; next time the bridge is up start looking around and yelling "handy? handy?"
	10:10am sphere: has anyone heard of this genre that the West is calling "Brazilian doomer music?" It's from the 60s.
	10:10am Handy Haversack: @crateslinger: I sure do! Every day, at least twice! From Greenpoint in the mornings and back in the evenings. Rain, shine, snow, ice, whatever. Sometimes I even bring binoculars to see what the birds are doing. We've had loons a few times this winter!
	10:10am crateslinger: @steveo - I might get arrested for that - lol
	10:11am βrian: Loons are a hoot.
	10:12am đ¢ ÞäŦ: No white caps on the Potomac but had a little trouble breathing while crossing Key Bridge.
	10:13am Trouble: glad you enjoyed it @steveo. really uneasy feeling created throughout, excellent book!
	10:14am Trouble: you might like "french exit" by patrick dewitt if you liked wish her safe at home
	10:14am ranjit: Every once in a while, I work from home on Thursdays, and then I get to listen to The Modern World!
	10:14am crateslinger: @Handy - I do the same route every day but in the bike lane. Next time the bridge is up, look for a bearded guy with glasses (as if that isn't everybody crossing the Pulaski). But this guy will be scanning the pedestrians. That's me looking for you.
	10:17am Handy Haversack: @crateslinger -- will do. You should be able to recognize me. I'm a bearded guy with glasses. If it EVER gets really cold, I'll have an orange WFMU watch cap on ...
	10:17am steveo: excellent, will check out french exit
	10:18am Listener Gregory: @βrian, well put.
	10:18am crateslinger: actually laughing out loud. When it's warm you can spot whatever WFMU shirt I'm wearing. It's all I have.
	10:18am steveo: haha yeah there's hardly anybody with a beard and glasses in greenpoint
	10:19am Handy Haversack: Significant white in the chin beard, if that helps.
	10:20am crateslinger: @steveo - it's like those old pics for the 1930's where all the men have the same straw hat on - except it's beards and buddy holly glasses. @Handy - I'm more of a salt and pepper
	10:22am adampsyche: <3 william onyeabor
	10:22am zivilars: i suddenly feel funky
	10:23am Handy Haversack: @crateslinger, when it warms up, if you see canoes launching from under the bridge, I'm likely to be there.
	10:25am crateslinger: O man - I love that. I have a kayak, but went on a 9 day wilderness canoe trip in the Canadian boundary waters last summer. 132 miles with 42 portages carrying our own food and equipment. Best ever!
	10:26am crateslinger: You ever talk to those sailboat people?
	10:26am melinda: Morning everyone!
	10:27am crateslinger: cleanest water I ever say - catch a fish with every cast
	10:27am crateslinger: saw*
	10:28am sphere: evidently, "Brazilian doomer music" is essentially collections of '60s Brazilian music compiled by an internet subculture called "doomers." so nothing to see here, move along.
	10:29am crateslinger: so many bald eagles - the place is sick with them, and the loons swim right under your boat - they look like whales.
	10:29am Handy Haversack: @crateslinger: amazing. I am going to get to the Boundary Waters one day. Yeah, we talk to the sailboat people.
	10:29am steveo: @crates 10:20, yeah i pretty much match that description and i live SEVERAL MILES from there @10:25 sounds really amazing
	10:29am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble and all! No better way to start the day than with some Billy Onyeabor.
	10:30am crateslinger: Are the sailboat people homeless squatters or yachtsmen?
	10:30am David (in London): I announce my arrival. Hello Troublefunkers. @Handy (radio star of the day) @John @steveo @sphere @everyone.
	10:31am βrian: The Boundary Waters are on my to-do list, too. In the meantime, the area around the Michigan-Wisconsin border is lovely.
	10:32am Handy Haversack: There's a lot of variation, @crateslinger. David (in London) is come! Let the rejoicings sound! Praise him with great praise. Also, you might want to weave a circle round him thrice and close your eyes with holy dread, for he on honeydew hath fed, and drunk the milk of paradise! Just a thought.
	10:32am ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all.Fine day for fine tunes.Best of luck generating them pledges.Keep it Freeform.
	10:34am crateslinger: cool Handy - I'll keep my eye out for the bearded brooklyn canoeist with binoculars!
	10:36am crateslinger: And anybody wants to plan a trip to Boundary Waters - I have a car and gear and roof racks and I'll go back any time. Duluth is actually kind of cool.
	10:37am Trouble: hobokenliteraryweekend.com
	10:38am melinda: I am waiting for a cab at an auto detailing place and just noticed that there is a giant disco ball hanging near the back.
	10:38am melinda: Ooh, I like Maira Kalyan
	10:38am Handy Haversack: Ohhh, it's so tempting, @crateslinger. One of these years. @βrian, we're out in western Michigan every summer, where I keep an aluminum canoe. But there's a lot of territory I really want to explore.
	10:39am Park Slope Historic District: @Trouble That's awesome! I only have the CD reissue, but I have lots of other original "Crepuscular" vinyl...all among my most favorite favorites!
	10:41am βrian: We're heading to the Manistee National Forest in May, with 6-year-old, to chase morels.
	10:41am melinda: Kalman not Kalyan
	10:42am Dances with Moomins: this reminds me soo much of a '70's melody
	10:43am David (in London): @Moomins - The melody is for me a touch reminiscent of 'Spooky', so yes, I second that emtion.
	10:44am Handy Haversack: @βrian, that is exactly where we go. My mom's family's old farm property is there. Forty acres, wildflowers, wild Christmas trees, morels. Sandhill cranes breeding nearby.
	10:45am David (in London): @Handy - Are you 'Grizzly' Haversack on the side?
	10:46am Adrian in London: Hey Trouble, I meant to say that having heard Lee Fields on your show, I've bought tickets to see him when he plays London as part of Grace Jones' curation of Meltdown. The GJ and Solange tickets were up to £150 (!) so getting a couple of Lee tickets for 35 quid each was a bargain.
	10:48am Handy Haversack: @David, when the studios are finally brave enough to release _All About Handy_, the world will be shocked!
	10:48am Trouble: o good to hear@adrian! should be fantastico!!!! he's the real deal
	10:49am Snoochienucci: ohhh this is hitting me in all the right places
	10:52am MikeG: I was always thankful for Grace Jones enunciating the lyrics so I could finally understand the Pretenders version
	10:54am Listener Gregory: Trouble, belated thanks for playing that Doug Hammond. He sounds like someone I should have known, yet I've never heard of him. Will check out.
	10:54am David (in London): Trouble - I managed to get Meltdown tickets for the Oumou Sangare show, too, so This is The Modern World will have heavy listener representation there.
	10:55am David (in London): Hey Snoochie.
	10:55am Trouble: wow@david in london: outstanding!
	10:56am David (in London): Annoyingly, I have to go to a meeting now. No-one have too much fun whilst I'm away please.
	10:56am Adrian in London: waves to David (in London)
	11:01am Handy Haversack: (Does anyone remember if Kenzo's e-mail is kenzo@ ? A clicky-star issue to report ...)
	11:07am Trouble: wfmudotorg
	11:09am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! This set is wonderful, too. Also, in discussing _Wish Her Safe at Home_, a friend who has read both also recommended _Ride a Cockhorse_, also from NYROB. Both are now on my list.
	11:09am Snoochienucci: @DIL Hi and Bye! lol hopefully you arent away from us too long. Cant promise i wont be having fun
	11:09am TomDash: ahhh...Funkadelic - the best. Love this simple, hypnotic guitar riff.
	11:11am sweir: Great Jam Trouble. Thank you!
	11:11am Warwick joe: Yessssss(Roland turner voice)
	11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Can vouch for northern MN. Took a day trip canoe loop on Snowbank Lake + portages east of Ely one time. My sister's family spend a week canoeing each summer.
	11:13am litmus0001: Extra points for the Funkadelic yo!!!
	11:13am Dances with Moomins: Thanks Adrian in London....There was a Spooky rif, now Tom Tom Club & Funkadelic gooving our way into the future. And now Irma Thomas. How'd we get so lucky? (thnx Ms. T !) cheers!
	11:18am Snoochienucci: im a bumpin' and a boopin'!
	11:18am tim from champaign (now washington): Hello Trouble and everyone!
	11:18am riley: Did I have to turn up the Alice Russell? Yes. Yes I did!
	11:19am crateslinger: Hey KfHP! Ely was exactly the last town we were in before heading off into the wildest place I have ever been. Hey - btw - are you up for another Memorial Day Motorcycle Ride? I got new bags and paint. Maybe we can get four bikes this year!
	11:21am Handy Haversack: @crateslinger and KfHP: the current administration has granted a mineral lease to a Chilean mining company to put a copper mine right next to the Boundary Waters. Use DuckDuckGo or another responsible search engine to look up "Save the Boundary Waters" for more information. It's another thing that gets some money from me after WFMU. @crateslinger, do you have a motorcycle in Greenpoint? Would I recognize it? (That is, is it the Triumph that's often on my block?)
	11:21am crateslinger: I'm sorry - The Second Annual WFMU Hot Rods from Hell Memorial Day Motorcycle Ride to Bear Mountain! Shopkeepers beware!
	11:23am Mike Wolf: i like how the playlist gives away the surprise of the new song, i had just enough time to leap to my feet for the intro of “Love Vigilantes”
	11:23am crateslinger: @handy - of course you're right about one thing - I do have a Triumph, being a bearded brooklyn hipster, but I actually live in Bushwick.
	11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): I love this song! Peter Hook is the best bass player ever.
	11:23am Mike Wolf: “next song” i should saywrite
	11:24am crateslinger: that sucks about the copper mine - there were political anti mining signs in a lot of yards and on the side of the road when I was there - plus a few touting jobs.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: This sounds so good. Gah, I wish I could really crank the volume up here. @crateslinger: ah HA!
	11:24am Hubig Pie: Better 'n Lemmy ?
	11:25am crateslinger: this New Order is the first song I learned on guitar. It was hard to get through without crying.
	11:25am Ken From Hyde Park: @Crates - Yes, Memorial Day sounds good to me. Last time worked out really well.
	11:26am crateslinger: KfHP - do you know anybody that can make a flier? I have asked on the comments board and crickets. I used to know artists but now that I'm all corporate...
	11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): @Hubig - hmmmm, tough question. I say yes only because I've figured out how to play some of Hook's bass lines but I haven't been able to do that with Lemmy - hahaha.
	11:29am mariano: @crateslinger: I'm a graphic designer. If you like, please get in touch through my profile, maybe I can help.
	11:30am crateslinger: Done! Thanks Mariano. Are you gonna scare the crap out of everybody?
	11:32am mariano: Hah! No, I save that for priests and people meddling with Ouija boards.
	11:32am Hubig Pie: To play like Peter Hook you needs an extra long strap so's the bass hangs down 'round the kneecaps
	11:32am crateslinger: Haha. I sent you a thing. Looking forward.
	11:33am mariano: Sounds good, thanks @crateslinger!
	11:34am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): hello, Trouble and folx! I like this red axes sonic experience!
	11:37am crateslinger: Thank you Mariano. We had Ken's blessing last year. I expect it will be the same this year. I gotta go for a while, but I always feel like a tool when I storm the board without saying thanks to the DJ. Thanks Trouble! Tons of Love! Great funky show. I been chair dancing all morning. See you next week!
	11:39am Bill W: I may be deluded, but this sounds like the LOVE STORY theme melody...
	11:40am Handy Haversack: Fun to connect over the Pulaski, so to speak, @crateslinger!
	11:42am crateslinger: @handy - for real I will be looking for you @KfHP - we'll talk. Planning stages. I'll send you an e-mail.
	11:44am βrian: WoofM-oumou
	11:45am mariano: Take care @crateslinger, I'll keep an eye out!
	11:47am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): My cousin said "No matter what you hippies do to recycle in San Francisco, us Los Angelians are ruining it all!"
	11:47am franny: I'm all portable water bottles and using my own shopping bags but sometimes I forget. The inevitable lifestyle crisis disrupting intention.
	11:47am editor_b: I'm hugely concerned, and yes I try to reduce my consumption of single-use plastic. But there is only so much we can do as "virtuous consumers." We need collective action. #BreakFreeFromPlastic it's a hashtag!
	11:47am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Buy bulk.
	11:47am Marshall Stacks: We do a lot of the same things you do re plastic, Trouble.
	11:48am quinn: dish soap - buy in a big bulk container and refill. There are two new bulk shops in Maplewood where you can bring your own containers and fill up on all sorts of stuff!
	11:48am Peter in SEA: Do grocery stores collect and recycle plastic bags and film out there? Also at school there's a company Terracycle that will recycle everything!
	11:48am crateslinger: I see you on my thing Mariano - I'll get back later. Greenzo OUT!
	11:48am Passaic River Blues: @Quinn: that's an excellent suggestion! Will have to look into that joint.
	11:49am Chi Bill: I re-use my Dasani disposable water bottle over a year now, probably should replace. There's not enough we can do at this point. Trump is about to trash a refuge along the Wall started in the 70's. We can't afford steps back.
	11:49am Greg from ZONE 5: My sushi place in JC has learned to just hand me my food with no bag, chopsticks, soy sauce, napkins or menu. Usually people are cool because it's actually saving them time and money.
	11:49am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Maybe the wall could be made of plastic water bottles?
	11:50am βrian: Damn, I miss the sushi cart.
	11:50am moosh: Yogurt makin' plastic hatin' folks here too! Weiter so DJ Trouble
	11:50am melinda: @editor b agree, there has been an overemphasis on individual consumer action as opposed to collective citizen action.
	11:50am Malcolm: luckily a zero-waste shop has opened near my house in manchester UK. I take glass jars to refill with foodstuffs, and you can refill shampoo bottles! we also need to lobby the government to ban single use plastics, regulate manufacturers and fund research into alternatives!
	11:51am quinn: @Passaic -- www.goodbottlerefillshop.com and www.instagram.com...
	11:51am tripod: You can get bulk dishwashing liquid, bring your own container to fill. (Though there's still the issue of the large plastic jugs the bulk comes in). I'm sure there's somewhere in your area that carries bulk. There are also dishwashing bars (Like shampoo bars) that you rub your sponge on and go for it.
	11:52am Gwendolz: Shampoo bars are great! Reusable cotton or nylon produce bags I've also been using for years. Still much to work on. I've tried making my own protein bars but I do not have the time for that! myplasticfreelife.com is a good resource.
	11:52am annya: @chi bill plastics especially the kinds in trashable bottles will leak into your water :(
	11:53am melinda: Thanks for the tunes, Trouble! I'm not coming to marathon this year unfortunately but I'll be listening and cheering on from home.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Thanks for a wonderful show today, Trouble! Sounded so good, set after set. And still does!
	11:54am annya: I try to cut down on my consumption overall and make my own things (DIY projects) to avoid packaging.
	11:55am ecbreezy: industry has told us for decades that it’s the personal responsibility of consumers to recycle/reduce/reuse, to shirk responsibility onto us....to sell us more stuff...and it’s got to the point where you have no choice but to buy everything in some sort of plastic. it’s beyond time for government and municipalities to step in and regulate the production of plastics. going to a coop or place to refill would be ideal but the vast majority of people do not have access to those types of stores :/
	11:55am βrian: I'll be cooking food for the marathon — and eating it.
	11:55am editor_b: Some good news, this bill was introduced to the US Congress a couple weeks ago: www.surfrider.org...
	11:55am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:55am Mike Wolf: righteous off-ramping there Trub
	11:56am Gwendolz: NY State plastic bag ban goes into effect on Sunday. Get Jersey to do the same!
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for listening and commenting!! see you next week with full on fundraising mode in effect!
	11:58am Mike Wolf: I think writing to companies (and posting things...posts...with tags to them, some big companies have unusually attentive and sharp social-media ppl who might even be able to get the word to the old white men at the top, that us peasants have had it with their plasticdeath
	11:59am steveo: thanks, Trouble!
	11:59am mariano: Thanks Trouble!
	12:02pm ParUbi: Thanks, Trouble!

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from February 27, 2020

View Trouble's profile

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.

	9:23am Peter from Dover NJ: Hello Trouble. And with my stress level at an all time high, I agree with zivilars. A beautiful and much needed set.
	9:23am Snoochienucci: loving this so far Trouble! so calming
	9:23am zivilars: Trouble should definitely become #1 curator for meditation music compilations
	9:24am zivilars: just need to close my eyes and everything's okay for a moment
	9:25am Ike: Don't have a cow, woman.
	9:25am Snoochienucci: @zivilars i agree with this completely! Wish i could spin a vinyl of all Troubles hand picked mellow vibes songs
	9:25am Wilson: Ah you're saving me right now
	9:25am John from Florham park: @Trouble thanks for this calming music, Keeps our mind off what is happening
	9:25am Handy Haversack: Been loving this Tapes track.
	9:27am Peter in SEA: Vinylphiles: What is the benefit of a 10", cheaper, shorter, better? ;-)
	9:28am Ken From Hyde Park: This would also make a great ringtone.
	9:29am Snoochienucci: @Ken from hyde park - idk if id ever pick up the phone thou!
	9:30am Jeff formerly from Rahway: This Tapes tune transports me back to my dentist’s office circa 1987.
	9:32am Ike: Disclaimer: The above comment was an attempt at a Simpsons reference/joke. In actuality, I support women having as many cows as they like. In fact, cows for everybody!
	9:33am zivilars: Hope this track is at least two hours long for full effect
	9:33am austin: I'm looking forward to kelly reichardt's new film First Cow
	9:34am crateslinger: I avoid the news mostly these days, but reading the comments I suspect I missed something big. Somebody want to tell me the bad news or are we all just still in a perpetual state of panic?
	9:34am Ken From Hyde Park: ¡Ay, caramba, Ike!
	9:34am Handy Haversack: @Ike, I caught it. Could see a T-shirt. Abunga!
	9:35am Wilson: Oh sure @crateslinger: the world's being driven off a cliff for pleasure and profit. More as the story develops.
	9:36am Lixiviated Life: nope
	9:37am PersistanceOfVision: Sounds great, Trouble. Thank you!
	9:37am crateslinger: Cheers Wilson - thank god it's just that. @nholliewog - I rode my bike in the wind too. Actually knocked me over at a red light. Felt so stupid.
	9:38am Brian in Charlottesville: Sounds good here in VA, Trouble. Have a great show.
	9:38am Irene: Everything sounds good on air, Trouble!
	9:40am Trouble: thanks @irene!!
	9:40am riley: All sounds good here in Asheville. Good morning!
	9:42am Trouble: thanks@ brian, @riley!
	9:43am John from Florham park: @Trouble loud and clear from Florham Park
	9:46am Dances with Moomins: Sounds wonderful in Turku !
	9:46am nholliewog: @crateslinger, oh no! (lol) I'm glad it wasn't at a green light. Wind is the most invisible of earthly forces so don't feel too stupid you couldn't have seen it comin
	9:54am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble, from sleety snowy/bright sunny London
	9:55am zivilars: how do you make somebody fall in love - what a nice song
	9:55am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble and Modernaires!
	9:56am crateslinger: @nholliewog - A big intersection full of cars and people and as far as they were concerned I just fell over for no reason. I hammed it up a little and tossed my legs in the air. Then got out of there as fast as I could. It wasn't so much the wind blowing me over as I was bracing against it and then it stopped and I plopped. I'm sure I made at least one person's day.
	9:57am Park Slope Historic District: Park Slope loves Antena!
	9:58am crateslinger: and yeah pretty happy nobody ran me over
	9:59am steveo: Hi Trouble. Thanks for the book recommendation of Wish Her Safe at Home. I feel like her most of the time, which I guess is what makes it so unsettling. I'm getting into the end now, and I can happily report that I'm not as bad as her, haha. Favorite line so far: "if this were an invasion of the body snatchers would you be one of the bodies or one of the snatchers?"
	10:00am βrian: Ready for T-rouble. Chilly skies over the isthmus today.
	10:00am Trouble: yeah park slope historic district!who doesn't love antena! i have that record on vinyl and the cd re-issue, that's how much i love it...
	10:00am John from Florham park: @aadrian in London good luck with that storm thus weekend
	10:01am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Windy in DC too. Rough ride in but I should get pushed all the way home.
	10:03am steveo: i must have had a tailwind: I didn't notice the wind much and I got to work early....
	10:03am Handy Haversack: White caps on Newtown Creek from the Pulaski Bridge this morning. Four mergansers and two herring gulls holding in place on the water.
	10:05am βrian: There's not a kind of DMZ around Studio B? Some kind of buffer zone?
	10:06am crateslinger: @Handy - you walk the Pulaski? I ride it every day. We've probably stood next to each other waiting for the drawbridge to go down.
	10:07am Webhamster Henry: Harry Bertoia chairs!
	10:07am Adrian in London: I think the Yearning are from Oxfordshire, somewhat chillier than Mexico City ;-)
	10:07am Reno D: Bertoia
	10:08am steveo: @cratesinger haha; next time the bridge is up start looking around and yelling "handy? handy?"
	10:10am sphere: has anyone heard of this genre that the West is calling "Brazilian doomer music?" It's from the 60s.
	10:10am Handy Haversack: @crateslinger: I sure do! Every day, at least twice! From Greenpoint in the mornings and back in the evenings. Rain, shine, snow, ice, whatever. Sometimes I even bring binoculars to see what the birds are doing. We've had loons a few times this winter!
	10:10am crateslinger: @steveo - I might get arrested for that - lol
	10:11am βrian: Loons are a hoot.
	10:12am đ¢ ÞäŦ: No white caps on the Potomac but had a little trouble breathing while crossing Key Bridge.
	10:13am Trouble: glad you enjoyed it @steveo. really uneasy feeling created throughout, excellent book!
	10:14am Trouble: you might like "french exit" by patrick dewitt if you liked wish her safe at home
	10:14am ranjit: Every once in a while, I work from home on Thursdays, and then I get to listen to The Modern World!
	10:14am crateslinger: @Handy - I do the same route every day but in the bike lane. Next time the bridge is up, look for a bearded guy with glasses (as if that isn't everybody crossing the Pulaski). But this guy will be scanning the pedestrians. That's me looking for you.
	10:17am Handy Haversack: @crateslinger -- will do. You should be able to recognize me. I'm a bearded guy with glasses. If it EVER gets really cold, I'll have an orange WFMU watch cap on ...
	10:17am steveo: excellent, will check out french exit
	10:18am Listener Gregory: @βrian, well put.
	10:18am crateslinger: actually laughing out loud. When it's warm you can spot whatever WFMU shirt I'm wearing. It's all I have.
	10:18am steveo: haha yeah there's hardly anybody with a beard and glasses in greenpoint
	10:19am Handy Haversack: Significant white in the chin beard, if that helps.
	10:20am crateslinger: @steveo - it's like those old pics for the 1930's where all the men have the same straw hat on - except it's beards and buddy holly glasses. @Handy - I'm more of a salt and pepper
	10:22am adampsyche: <3 william onyeabor
	10:22am zivilars: i suddenly feel funky
	10:23am Handy Haversack: @crateslinger, when it warms up, if you see canoes launching from under the bridge, I'm likely to be there.
	10:25am crateslinger: O man - I love that. I have a kayak, but went on a 9 day wilderness canoe trip in the Canadian boundary waters last summer. 132 miles with 42 portages carrying our own food and equipment. Best ever!
	10:26am crateslinger: You ever talk to those sailboat people?
	10:26am melinda: Morning everyone!
	10:27am crateslinger: cleanest water I ever say - catch a fish with every cast
	10:27am crateslinger: saw*
	10:28am sphere: evidently, "Brazilian doomer music" is essentially collections of '60s Brazilian music compiled by an internet subculture called "doomers." so nothing to see here, move along.
	10:29am crateslinger: so many bald eagles - the place is sick with them, and the loons swim right under your boat - they look like whales.
	10:29am Handy Haversack: @crateslinger: amazing. I am going to get to the Boundary Waters one day. Yeah, we talk to the sailboat people.
	10:29am steveo: @crates 10:20, yeah i pretty much match that description and i live SEVERAL MILES from there @10:25 sounds really amazing
	10:29am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble and all! No better way to start the day than with some Billy Onyeabor.
	10:30am crateslinger: Are the sailboat people homeless squatters or yachtsmen?
	10:30am David (in London): I announce my arrival. Hello Troublefunkers. @Handy (radio star of the day) @John @steveo @sphere @everyone.
	10:31am βrian: The Boundary Waters are on my to-do list, too. In the meantime, the area around the Michigan-Wisconsin border is lovely.
	10:32am Handy Haversack: There's a lot of variation, @crateslinger. David (in London) is come! Let the rejoicings sound! Praise him with great praise. Also, you might want to weave a circle round him thrice and close your eyes with holy dread, for he on honeydew hath fed, and drunk the milk of paradise! Just a thought.
	10:32am ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all.Fine day for fine tunes.Best of luck generating them pledges.Keep it Freeform.
	10:34am crateslinger: cool Handy - I'll keep my eye out for the bearded brooklyn canoeist with binoculars!
	10:36am crateslinger: And anybody wants to plan a trip to Boundary Waters - I have a car and gear and roof racks and I'll go back any time. Duluth is actually kind of cool.
	10:37am Trouble: hobokenliteraryweekend.com
	10:38am melinda: I am waiting for a cab at an auto detailing place and just noticed that there is a giant disco ball hanging near the back.
	10:38am melinda: Ooh, I like Maira Kalyan
	10:38am Handy Haversack: Ohhh, it's so tempting, @crateslinger. One of these years. @βrian, we're out in western Michigan every summer, where I keep an aluminum canoe. But there's a lot of territory I really want to explore.
	10:39am Park Slope Historic District: @Trouble That's awesome! I only have the CD reissue, but I have lots of other original "Crepuscular" vinyl...all among my most favorite favorites!
	10:41am βrian: We're heading to the Manistee National Forest in May, with 6-year-old, to chase morels.
	10:41am melinda: Kalman not Kalyan
	10:42am Dances with Moomins: this reminds me soo much of a '70's melody
	10:43am David (in London): @Moomins - The melody is for me a touch reminiscent of 'Spooky', so yes, I second that emtion.
	10:44am Handy Haversack: @βrian, that is exactly where we go. My mom's family's old farm property is there. Forty acres, wildflowers, wild Christmas trees, morels. Sandhill cranes breeding nearby.
	10:45am David (in London): @Handy - Are you 'Grizzly' Haversack on the side?
	10:46am Adrian in London: Hey Trouble, I meant to say that having heard Lee Fields on your show, I've bought tickets to see him when he plays London as part of Grace Jones' curation of Meltdown. The GJ and Solange tickets were up to £150 (!) so getting a couple of Lee tickets for 35 quid each was a bargain.
	10:48am Handy Haversack: @David, when the studios are finally brave enough to release _All About Handy_, the world will be shocked!
	10:48am Trouble: o good to hear@adrian! should be fantastico!!!! he's the real deal
	10:49am Snoochienucci: ohhh this is hitting me in all the right places
	10:52am MikeG: I was always thankful for Grace Jones enunciating the lyrics so I could finally understand the Pretenders version
	10:54am Listener Gregory: Trouble, belated thanks for playing that Doug Hammond. He sounds like someone I should have known, yet I've never heard of him. Will check out.
	10:54am David (in London): Trouble - I managed to get Meltdown tickets for the Oumou Sangare show, too, so This is The Modern World will have heavy listener representation there.
	10:55am David (in London): Hey Snoochie.
	10:55am Trouble: wow@david in london: outstanding!
	10:56am David (in London): Annoyingly, I have to go to a meeting now. No-one have too much fun whilst I'm away please.
	10:56am Adrian in London: waves to David (in London)
	11:01am Handy Haversack: (Does anyone remember if Kenzo's e-mail is kenzo@ ? A clicky-star issue to report ...)
	11:07am Trouble: wfmudotorg
	11:09am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! This set is wonderful, too. Also, in discussing _Wish Her Safe at Home_, a friend who has read both also recommended _Ride a Cockhorse_, also from NYROB. Both are now on my list.
	11:09am Snoochienucci: @DIL Hi and Bye! lol hopefully you arent away from us too long. Cant promise i wont be having fun
	11:09am TomDash: ahhh...Funkadelic - the best. Love this simple, hypnotic guitar riff.
	11:11am sweir: Great Jam Trouble. Thank you!
	11:11am Warwick joe: Yessssss(Roland turner voice)
	11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: Can vouch for northern MN. Took a day trip canoe loop on Snowbank Lake + portages east of Ely one time. My sister's family spend a week canoeing each summer.
	11:13am litmus0001: Extra points for the Funkadelic yo!!!
	11:13am Dances with Moomins: Thanks Adrian in London....There was a Spooky rif, now Tom Tom Club & Funkadelic gooving our way into the future. And now Irma Thomas. How'd we get so lucky? (thnx Ms. T !) cheers!
	11:18am Snoochienucci: im a bumpin' and a boopin'!
	11:18am tim from champaign (now washington): Hello Trouble and everyone!
	11:18am riley: Did I have to turn up the Alice Russell? Yes. Yes I did!
	11:19am crateslinger: Hey KfHP! Ely was exactly the last town we were in before heading off into the wildest place I have ever been. Hey - btw - are you up for another Memorial Day Motorcycle Ride? I got new bags and paint. Maybe we can get four bikes this year!
	11:21am Handy Haversack: @crateslinger and KfHP: the current administration has granted a mineral lease to a Chilean mining company to put a copper mine right next to the Boundary Waters. Use DuckDuckGo or another responsible search engine to look up "Save the Boundary Waters" for more information. It's another thing that gets some money from me after WFMU. @crateslinger, do you have a motorcycle in Greenpoint? Would I recognize it? (That is, is it the Triumph that's often on my block?)
	11:21am crateslinger: I'm sorry - The Second Annual WFMU Hot Rods from Hell Memorial Day Motorcycle Ride to Bear Mountain! Shopkeepers beware!
	11:23am Mike Wolf: i like how the playlist gives away the surprise of the new song, i had just enough time to leap to my feet for the intro of “Love Vigilantes”
	11:23am crateslinger: @handy - of course you're right about one thing - I do have a Triumph, being a bearded brooklyn hipster, but I actually live in Bushwick.
	11:23am tim from champaign (now washington): I love this song! Peter Hook is the best bass player ever.
	11:23am Mike Wolf: “next song” i should saywrite
	11:24am crateslinger: that sucks about the copper mine - there were political anti mining signs in a lot of yards and on the side of the road when I was there - plus a few touting jobs.
	11:24am Handy Haversack: This sounds so good. Gah, I wish I could really crank the volume up here. @crateslinger: ah HA!
	11:24am Hubig Pie: Better 'n Lemmy ?
	11:25am crateslinger: this New Order is the first song I learned on guitar. It was hard to get through without crying.
	11:25am Ken From Hyde Park: @Crates - Yes, Memorial Day sounds good to me. Last time worked out really well.
	11:26am crateslinger: KfHP - do you know anybody that can make a flier? I have asked on the comments board and crickets. I used to know artists but now that I'm all corporate...
	11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): @Hubig - hmmmm, tough question. I say yes only because I've figured out how to play some of Hook's bass lines but I haven't been able to do that with Lemmy - hahaha.
	11:29am mariano: @crateslinger: I'm a graphic designer. If you like, please get in touch through my profile, maybe I can help.
	11:30am crateslinger: Done! Thanks Mariano. Are you gonna scare the crap out of everybody?
	11:32am mariano: Hah! No, I save that for priests and people meddling with Ouija boards.
	11:32am Hubig Pie: To play like Peter Hook you needs an extra long strap so's the bass hangs down 'round the kneecaps
	11:32am crateslinger: Haha. I sent you a thing. Looking forward.
	11:33am mariano: Sounds good, thanks @crateslinger!
	11:34am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): hello, Trouble and folx! I like this red axes sonic experience!
	11:37am crateslinger: Thank you Mariano. We had Ken's blessing last year. I expect it will be the same this year. I gotta go for a while, but I always feel like a tool when I storm the board without saying thanks to the DJ. Thanks Trouble! Tons of Love! Great funky show. I been chair dancing all morning. See you next week!
	11:39am Bill W: I may be deluded, but this sounds like the LOVE STORY theme melody...
	11:40am Handy Haversack: Fun to connect over the Pulaski, so to speak, @crateslinger!
	11:42am crateslinger: @handy - for real I will be looking for you @KfHP - we'll talk. Planning stages. I'll send you an e-mail.
	11:44am βrian: WoofM-oumou
	11:45am mariano: Take care @crateslinger, I'll keep an eye out!
	11:47am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): My cousin said "No matter what you hippies do to recycle in San Francisco, us Los Angelians are ruining it all!"
	11:47am franny: I'm all portable water bottles and using my own shopping bags but sometimes I forget. The inevitable lifestyle crisis disrupting intention.
	11:47am editor_b: I'm hugely concerned, and yes I try to reduce my consumption of single-use plastic. But there is only so much we can do as "virtuous consumers." We need collective action. #BreakFreeFromPlastic it's a hashtag!
	11:47am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Buy bulk.
	11:47am Marshall Stacks: We do a lot of the same things you do re plastic, Trouble.
	11:48am quinn: dish soap - buy in a big bulk container and refill. There are two new bulk shops in Maplewood where you can bring your own containers and fill up on all sorts of stuff!
	11:48am Peter in SEA: Do grocery stores collect and recycle plastic bags and film out there? Also at school there's a company Terracycle that will recycle everything!
	11:48am crateslinger: I see you on my thing Mariano - I'll get back later. Greenzo OUT!
	11:48am Passaic River Blues: @Quinn: that's an excellent suggestion! Will have to look into that joint.
	11:49am Chi Bill: I re-use my Dasani disposable water bottle over a year now, probably should replace. There's not enough we can do at this point. Trump is about to trash a refuge along the Wall started in the 70's. We can't afford steps back.
	11:49am Greg from ZONE 5: My sushi place in JC has learned to just hand me my food with no bag, chopsticks, soy sauce, napkins or menu. Usually people are cool because it's actually saving them time and money.
	11:49am Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): Maybe the wall could be made of plastic water bottles?
	11:50am βrian: Damn, I miss the sushi cart.
	11:50am moosh: Yogurt makin' plastic hatin' folks here too! Weiter so DJ Trouble
	11:50am melinda: @editor b agree, there has been an overemphasis on individual consumer action as opposed to collective citizen action.
	11:50am Malcolm: luckily a zero-waste shop has opened near my house in manchester UK. I take glass jars to refill with foodstuffs, and you can refill shampoo bottles! we also need to lobby the government to ban single use plastics, regulate manufacturers and fund research into alternatives!
	11:51am quinn: @Passaic -- www.goodbottlerefillshop.com and www.instagram.com...
	11:51am tripod: You can get bulk dishwashing liquid, bring your own container to fill. (Though there's still the issue of the large plastic jugs the bulk comes in). I'm sure there's somewhere in your area that carries bulk. There are also dishwashing bars (Like shampoo bars) that you rub your sponge on and go for it.
	11:52am Gwendolz: Shampoo bars are great! Reusable cotton or nylon produce bags I've also been using for years. Still much to work on. I've tried making my own protein bars but I do not have the time for that! myplasticfreelife.com is a good resource.
	11:52am annya: @chi bill plastics especially the kinds in trashable bottles will leak into your water :(
	11:53am melinda: Thanks for the tunes, Trouble! I'm not coming to marathon this year unfortunately but I'll be listening and cheering on from home.
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Thanks for a wonderful show today, Trouble! Sounded so good, set after set. And still does!
	11:54am annya: I try to cut down on my consumption overall and make my own things (DIY projects) to avoid packaging.
	11:55am ecbreezy: industry has told us for decades that it’s the personal responsibility of consumers to recycle/reduce/reuse, to shirk responsibility onto us....to sell us more stuff...and it’s got to the point where you have no choice but to buy everything in some sort of plastic. it’s beyond time for government and municipalities to step in and regulate the production of plastics. going to a coop or place to refill would be ideal but the vast majority of people do not have access to those types of stores :/
