	♥ 9:06am David (in London): @John - A sunny day in the centre of town here. All good.
	♥ 9:08am David (in London): @Handy - I've been lurking, so I've had an eye on what's been going on. This week I've been observing a rule not to comment until after Wake. Damn employer expectations etc etc.
	9:08am Listener Robert: Yay, Melinda!
	♥ 9:08am David (in London): Hey Melinda - Many happy returns of the day to you!
	9:08am cuteCloud: hiii -v-
	9:09am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Hi everyone, especially Trouble and the Birthday Girl, MELINDA! Happy Birthday, Melinda.
	♥ 9:09am Webhamster Henry: Everyone knows I rarely leave my apartment - mostly to look at my shadow and retreat. #webgroundhog
	♥ 9:09am Ken From Hyde Park: More from Julia Sisi: www.juliasisi.com Prepare to be amazed! Yay, happy birthday, Melinda!
	♥ 9:10am Handy Haversack: Happy birthday, Melinda! That Sisi work is fantastic. @David: Right. Very wise.

	9:13am John from Florham park: @Dil bummer about work, it’s cloudy here
	9:13am John from Florham park: @melinda happy birthday @Parubi morning
	♥ 9:14am David (in London): Hey ParUbi
	♥ 9:14am Strandlund: Nothing But Trouble...
	♥ 9:15am melinda: thanks guys!
	9:15am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: This is a beautiful guitar piece, and I thought I HATED John Fahey. His music, I mean, not the actual man.
	9:15am MUWFinMA: Dis is the modern world!
	♥ 9:19am TDK60: Morning Trouble. Will have to wait to pledge later as I work in tourism, had to stop working, no money coming in.
	♥ 9:20am Mike & Dusty: i am pledged to high heaven but gosh-golly the start to this show has me looking at Dusty’s treat budget and wondering if i can cut it yet further...
	♥ 9:20am Trouble: happppppppy birthday melinda!
	♥ 9:21am Handy Haversack: @Mike: I hear you. I have had a few serious talks with Bagpipe about whether he thinks he can eat music. Negotiations are ongoing. I am NOT bringing it up with the cats, though. I'm no fool.
	♥ 9:21am -Ken: Mike - To save money on dog treats, soak some cardboard in beef broth. It really works!
	♥ 9:22am Trouble: sorry to hear about your lack of funds TDK. i want to remind people that we don't need the money today, we bill you , or a swag for life pledge goes on your credit card monthly..
	♥ 9:24am David (in London): @Mike - Foraging in fields and hedgerows can really help to bring one's food expenditure down. The resultant cashable saving can then be transferred straight into SMK's hands, natch.
	♥ 9:24am Mike & Dusty: MC4 > MC5
	♥ 9:25am melinda: thanks Trub!
	♥ 9:25am Mike & Dusty: @-Ken: but i’m vegematarian, i have no beef broth! [this is an absolute lie — i am a vegetarian dog trainer and i have crumbs of lamb lung in my ears and cod-skin in my toes (figuratively)]
	♥ 9:26am Handy Haversack: It is early. I have been tracking "budbreak" on the callery pear tree outside my office window for ten years, and this is the earliest by two weeks in that span -- and that had been an outlier!
	♥ 9:26am Mike & Dusty: @David (in London): i live in NYC, we don’t have fields! and our hedgerows are (snf snf) covered in...dog pee.
	♥ 9:27am David (in London): @Handy - Have you recorded that data anywhere? I feel a data visualisation coming on...
	♥ 9:27am Ike: Seriously, anyone who really wants a cost-cutting idea so you can give more to FMU: if you have any wildly expensive unlimited mobile plans, dump that overpriced crap and get a cheap prepaid phone plan (Page Plus, H20, Net10, etc.). They're not just for bus station crackheads anymore!
	♥ 9:28am Mike & Dusty: ...a vegetarian and a dog trainer, to be clear (i don’t ask the dogs to go meatless)
	♥ 9:29am David (in London): @Mike - You reminded me there of that old Bill Hicks skit about giving up smoking. "I live in New York City. I don't want me sense of smell back. [Sniff, sniff] Wait, is that a dead guy?"
	♥ 9:30am Handy Haversack: @David: Don't tell Mark Hurst, but I use Gmail to track it (I'm gonna kick tomorrow!). An e-mail with "BUDBREAK" as the subject to a friend every year for a long time ...
	♥ 9:32am melinda: @Ike Net10 really blows, I use Ting now for prepaid.
	♥ 9:32am David (in London): @Handy - If you can get the data to me, I'll happily do a visualisation for you. And we can see how early it may be this year. And rest easy, I won't dob you in Mark Hurst.
	♥ 9:33am Mike & Dusty: @David (in London): the mixed blessing of spring approaching is that smell of garbage and piss (and the occasional dead thing) comes on strong in places... come visit! (while it’s still possible)
	♥ 9:34am Switchblade Batman: If you started your show in 1990 Trouble, wouldn't it be 30 years?
	♥ 9:36am melinda: Sem made the trip from Nova Scotia? Cool!
	♥ 9:36am Mike & Dusty: Trub, i’m taking Dusty out, we’ll be back in a little while
	♥ 9:36am Handy Haversack: @David: Will do. First: some toast. Nova Scotia?! I hear it's the new Scotland!
	♥ 9:37am Webhamster Henry: The UK LeGuin is a Hammered Dulcimer smacking delight.
	♥ 9:37am Trouble: @switchblade...i started in 1995, then took off 5 years in 2000, back on in 2005 till now
	♥ 9:38am David (in London): Sem and Stanley are a dynamite pairing.
	9:38am sphere: The music on the Le Guin/Barton release is actually the soundtrack to her novel Always Coming Home.
	9:40am John from Florham park: @trouble you don’t sound a day over 21:)
	♥ 9:40am Mike & Dusty: @sphere i thought the Kesh were from Left Hand of Darkness? maybe i’m misremembering UK le G’s books...
	♥ 9:40am Ike: @melinda, good to know. For very low-usage folks like me, the absolute cheapest ones seem to be Page Plus and H20. Currently I'm on H20 which uses the AT&T network, but I may go back to Page Plus (on the Verizon network) at some point.
	9:42am sphere: @ Mike & Dusty - Nope, the Kesh are from Always Coming Home.
	9:42am ParUbi ¤¤¤¤: That comp does sound intriguing...
	9:44am Dances with Moomins: Good Morning New Jersey! Crud! you guys changed your clocks! I missed the first while. voi voi. Cheers to all the supportive Moderns ( the world over!)
	♥ 9:47am βrian: Our coöp is pretty much out of non-perishable foodstuffs. Dried beans, canned whatever ... nada. The place was packed at 10 minutes til closing. Oy.
	9:47am sphere: @Dances with Moomins - We have odd chronological rituals in America.
	♥ 9:48am βrian: Daylight Saving Time and the end times. Take your pick.
	9:50am Dances with Moomins: Hi Sphere, seems US has really moved up the change, here in Finalnd the clocks change in a few weeks ...and next year we won't change them anymore! I'll be happy if they keep 'standard time' instead of keeping 'daylight savings' but in the winter it is dark, summer:light . Who needs a clock?
	♥ 9:51am -Ken: Yes we are in that uncomfortable nether region in between the clocks changing in the US and the UK
	9:51am popgoestheworld: I love Helado Negro!!! Thank you!
	♥ 9:51am melinda: @Brian that's severe. Is it a small co-op? I went shopping at mine yesterday and it was still well-stocked.
	♥ 9:52am melinda: Lovely sounds.
	♥ 9:55am βrian: It's a big coöp, actually. They've been expanding wildly during the last decade.
	♥ 9:57am steveo: Seen in an instagram comment: "Thoroughly feels like a Thursday, let’s enjoy the little things." Seems appropriate. Glad to be listening; you folks are good at marathoning.
	9:58am Dances with Moomins: rest in peas CD 3
	9:59am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Another one bites it, time to hit up the thrifts!
	♥ 10:00am Handy Haversack: That was awesome.
	♥ 10:00am βrian: What is an armoury show, anyway?
	♥ 10:01am ParUbi: Yay! (From Pittsburgh)
	♥ 10:02am steveo: an armory is a place for storing armaments (formerly); it has lots of space for events and whatnot, and this one is an art show.
	10:02am allanINtoronto: Oh man, the Armoury Show. Vladimir Tatlin, art, freeform radio, catfood, knitting needles. A little older, a little more confused....
	10:04am Dances with Moomins: Brian, Big art show was ( is ?) at the armory in Manhattan ( Park ave in the 60's ...i've been gone too long ) the 1913 show was an epoch making
	♥ 10:06am Marley P. Dogg: Get trouble that cash people
	♥ 10:06am Handy Haversack: My partner is a teaching artist at the Park Ave. Armory as one of her jobs, contextualizing and leading NYC HS kids through the shows they have in the Drill Hall, which is the size of a city block. Lots of installations, exhibitions, performances, etc. still go on there. And, of course, workshops being canceled. Pandemic not taking it easy on freelance artist-educators.
	♥ 10:06am βrian: I like the birds, but J'adore les oiseaux !
	♥ 10:09am melinda: Didn't the FMU record fair used to happen at an armory?
	♥ 10:11am Trouble: the original armory show was in nyc in 1913: marcel duchamp urinal preview. contemporary world uses the armory show to showcase galleries etc in nyc
	♥ 10:13am steveo: Here is a photo Duchamp on the 50th anniversary. media.npr.org... (with his painting and art historian Henri Merceau )
	10:14am JakeGould: @melinda: Not that armory. Another one. And from what I heard nobody liked it. That smaller armory is the Gramercy Park Armory near 26th Street and I have been to a few art fairs/shows there and that specific one and the space stunk. The “Armory Show” happens in a few places nowadays but the armory show originated at the Park Avenue Armory around 66th Street.
	♥ 10:14am Trouble: yes melinda, it did.
	10:15am Dances with Moomins: Aren't we lucky? Isn't this wonderful? Yes, he said! Cheers Ms. T ! Week after week we seek the peace and joy you send us. Often I find there's a smile I can't control when you're in that studio in Jersey City. ( thanks )
	♥ 10:15am Switchblade Batman: Oh, I misheard then @Trouble, sorry.
	10:16am cuteCloud: o dear Lotl
	10:17am MacDonald: WFMU is going to become a very important resource for many of us. Praise the @Trouble. Take care of each other. Enjoy stuff. Listen to good music. Check in on the loved and unloved. #landoftheloops
	♥ 10:18am Handy Haversack: There are a lot of old armories scattered through the city. That 26th St. one was a HQ after Sept. 11, as I recall. The Arsenal in Central Park is the Parks Dept. HQ where I go for a canoeing permit. I think there's a big one in Park Slope that has a YMCA in it now. Years ago I did some production work on a book that was a history of armories and strategies of control in London and NYC.
	♥ 10:19am melinda: I saw some footage on the FMU vimeo channel of the small armory record fair with Clay Pigeon interviewing people, including Matt Dillon, who looked immediately uncomfortable upon being recognized but Clay was smooth about it.
	10:21am rubyschmerling: no government bailout for you !
	♥ 10:22am Handy Haversack: Still think of the Brooklyn Expo Center, where the record fair is now, as "that weird new building in the neighborhood." But the neighborhood has really been specializing in weird new buildings the last few years, so ... c'est la guerre, I guess. Great set, Trouble! That Mdou Moctar was so good.
	10:22am allanINtoronto: 1913. R. Mutt delivers modernity to NYC. Freeform art (including radio) is birthed. With ear inclined to the ceramic interior of the bowl, Clay Pidgeon's voice could be heard broadcasting from the future.
	♥ 10:23am People Like Us: WFMU IS REALITY
	♥ 10:23am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & Staysh & all!
	♥ 10:23am melinda: It is the real world.
	♥ 10:27am Marley P. Dogg: I don’t care what anyone says - the Statue of Liberty is in NJ
	10:27am Ochre Ogre: The world would be in trouble without WFMU!! XO
	10:27am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: TAYLOR Ham (or pork roll if you must). 'Nuff said. N.J. > N.Y.
	10:29am JakeGould: @MarleyPDogg: Nobody ever enjoys visiting the Statue of Liberty. Every single story I ever hear about visiting it is the same: The ferry was fine. The lines were crazy. We walked around and then headed back to NYC.
	10:34am Ochre Ogre: Since November 2016 the Statue of Liberty has started to melt.
	♥ 10:35am Marley P. Dogg: @Jake - it’s more so about NY trying to tell us what to do
	10:35am Dances with Moomins: I'm from NJ. I've enjoyed every single visit to Liberty Enlightening the World. First time was a 2nd grade class trip in 1960. The USS Nautilus passed with crew on the deck. Perhaps it's an aquired taste. Last time was in August 2001, family photo with WTC in the background. I'd go back tomorrow. As though travel from Europe was easy! ha ha... oh
	10:35am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Sorry JakeGould, but I must be an exception. The first time I went with the fam, it was amazing and we got to see Nelson Mandella who was also visting the 'Statch. Lightning in a bottle and I will never forget it. I also enjoyed the ferry and lines? Well, yeah it's kind of famous I hear. Some people bitch about orgasms probably.
	10:36am JakeGould: I also hear that after Valentine’s Day, all of those oversized stuffed bears at chain drug stores are gather and shoved into the core of the Statue of Liberty to stabilize it.
	♥ 10:38am Greg from ZONE 5: GOD I love this song.
	10:38am JakeGould: ProTip™: If you just want to see the Statue of Liberty, ride the Staten Island Ferry or take the NYC Ferry from Wall Street to Sunset Park or Bay Ridge or Rockaway and you pass it by. Head over to Governor’s Island for a decent view too.
	♥ 10:46am steveo: no license! woah!
	♥ 10:48am steveo: since 1995! haha!
	10:48am John from Florham park: Fellow WFMU listeners it has gotten to the point where I am listening to music and staying away from news, want too keep my sanity
	♥ 10:49am steveo: "modern transmitters are seen as suitable for unattended use because of their high reliability, superior design, the use of built-in protection circuits and the type of audio processing equipment employed."
	10:50am Dances with Moomins: You got it John from Florham P ( from former Livingstonite )
	10:50am PJ: It's not the cold and it's not ebola, but it's not good. European countries are shutting down their borders. I feel like now (today and the next few days) is the fulcrum between "hmm, this isn't looking good" to "holy shit!" Part of the problem is that tests aren't generally available in the US so we have no idea how many people have been infected. For most healthy people, it's going to be a bad flu, but for others . . .
	♥ 10:50am Handy Haversack: Marley Dogg! You're a machine!
	♥ 10:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Women had success last night in soccer, where the US won another tournament. They're paid less pay than the less-successful men's soccer team, oddly.
	10:52am John from Florham park: @Damces we’re you one of those people who hung out at the Livingston mall back in the day
	♥ 10:52am zzz: whoa what’s the story of coming under attack from other public radio stations??
	♥ 10:53am CHUCK ROAST: Why do we listen as we do ? Because it's there.
	♥ 10:54am βrian: Madison? The Isthmus reports!
	10:55am KRYPT: Hi Trouble and Ken, I regard my contribution tou WFMU as the most well spent money I part with.
	♥ 10:55am steveo: i listen all the time just in case dave nelson comes on, so i won't miss it
	10:55am JakeGould: This article in the NY Times is pretty interesting: A flu researcher in Washington State repurposed nasal swabs taken for a flu study to test for Coronavirus earlier in January. The results? “What came back confirmed their worst fear. They quickly had a positive test from a local teenager with no recent travel history. The coronavirus had already established itself on American soil without anybody realizing it.” www.nytimes.com... The thing that’s crazy personally? I had a bad “flu” around February 11th where I had a fever of 103.5F. Wondering now if that was really Coronavirus. Because damn, that was the worst upper respiratory infection I have had ever.
	♥ 10:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Trouble, Staysh and everybody! Keep pledging!
	♥ 10:57am Handy Haversack: Hi, tim!
	♥ 10:58am tim from champaign (now washington): Howdy, Handy!
	♥ 11:00am steveo: then hopefully you have the antibodies now, Jake
	11:01am JakeGould: If anyone wants my antibodies, it will cost you… Sorry but that is how society works.
	11:01am John from Florham park: @Tim how are things in Washington besides UW closing
	♥ 11:02am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: it really helps to prevent people from europe getting onto the US but leave the border open for the UK … :-)
	11:03am JakeGould: U.K. is not Europe. Duh.
	♥ 11:03am Small Frank: that Madeleine, though!
	11:04am JakeGould: Europe has good food and happy gatherings. The U.K. has bad food and sad gatherings. No big whoop.
	♥ 11:05am Hubig Pie: What are you wearing ?
	♥ 11:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: yeah… its far away from france. 19 miles… :-)
	♥ 11:06am Handy Haversack: @SM Ken: Next year: Dog T-shirts!!
	11:06am JakeGould: But look how much culture France has compared to the U.K.
	♥ 11:07am tim from champaign (now washington): @John - Getting crazy! Seattle Public Schools are closed. Gov. Inslee declared "social distancing" and canceling of events with more than 250 people among other things. I live in the county across the Puget sound from Seattle so things are a bit more "wait and see". Through my work, residential care facilities are taking it very seriously and most have locked down.
	♥ 11:07am tim from champaign (now washington): The Seattle Stranger paper has good current reporting if you're interested. www.thestranger.com
	11:09am John from Florham park: @Tim I feel your pain,is KEXP still on the air
	♥ 11:10am Handy Haversack: @tim, are you near Sequim and that amazing Mexican restaurant? And if so, can you send mole?!
	11:11am John from Florham park: @Tim just checked it out and bookmarked for future reading
	11:12am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Dear PJ, that is a good summary of the way things stand at present. I am being cautious and vigilant of my own health and limit my (mass) social gatherings somewhat, but what I'm seeing here is a spiteful attitude from folks who either think it's the harbinger of doom and not being taken seriously or those who would gladly lick stair rails at the bus station to show how glib and above it all they are. America has become a truly polarized place.
	♥ 11:14am David (in London): I just returned from a late lunch in Chinatown, and it's so quiet. You could hear The Specials' Ghost Town playing off in the distance.
	♥ 11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): @Handy - Oooh! I'm about an hour away from there. I haven't visited Sequim yet but I will make a point of seeking it out. Air Mole to the rescue!
	11:15am John from Florham park: @DIL fuck that sucks
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: @David: Be careful! The pro-sickness forces often use ska to lure in the unsuspecting and force them to lick bus station railings! You have to be rocksteady!
	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: @tim, neither Kate nor I can remember what it's called, but ... I don't think there are two Mexican restaurants in Sequim. It's on the main road. And remember: only one syllable in that town's name!
	♥ 11:20am melinda: @Itzall yeah, the polarization sucks.
	♥ 11:20am tim from champaign (now washington): @Handy - cool! I'm planning hiking and camping trips up that way during the summer. I'll keep you posted.
	11:21am morphe': David van der Stoke, et al... I avoided the mishegas of the other day... I have enough problems in my other lives!!!! David I was in London Chinatown in '89 during Tineman(sp) square with my wee Arnan then 3y/o. There SWP/CP folks in front of the Embassy? Cultural Centre protesting that China was anti-communist and regressive... One dude was holding up a massive real bloody pigs head. He eventually got carted off by the Bill... I think I still have photo/prints of that???
	♥ 11:21am Ike: "...those who would gladly lick stair rails at the bus station to show how glib and above it all they are." Ha! I am duly entertained by this phrasing.
	♥ 11:23am The Oscar: William Nilly would be a pretty solid stage name. (Also mornin'!)
	11:25am prudy: REALLY good point about web access...hugely expensive. If you can give anything monthly please do so...the best monthly expense ever!
	11:26am morphe': True rail licking story - Paris apparently had its own fetish - men putting baguettes in the pisoirs and returning later to retrieve and eat - there is a name = Soupeur(sp?)?? VRAIMENT!!!!!
	11:26am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: I've only just now magnified the artwork of today (julia sisi) and it's really something. Not sure how I feel about it yet, which is always a good thing where my taste and proclivities are concerned. Unease with art means it has achieved it's purpose.
	♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: We are considering skipping the show we have tix for tonight -- but mainly just to marshal energy for a weekend of Jersey City events! Oh, right, I have to research water routes from Brooklyn to JC and back!
	♥ 11:26am The Oscar: I once tried out "Cramps Radio" on one of the algorithmic audio streamers. It started with "Garbage Man," then immediately went into an ad for a rehab facility, which... honestly feels kind of appropriate.
	♥ 11:28am Jeff Golick: This Y la Bamba is a great record.
	11:29am morphe': OCHHHH - writing that made me think of" 2 Women and a cup..." My son says people on the streets of Madrid are afraid of us because of my raggedy aspect so it is Nice to sometimes feel "normal???" We shant be having choclate mousse for deseert this eve.
	♥ 11:29am melinda: @Oscar that's hilarious.
	♥ 11:31am Ike: Ha ha, the JAMs a.k.a. the KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front)!
	11:32am Nate K.: This Jamms song "slaps," I believe that's the word.
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: I went to a friend's place in late Jan., tearing myself away from Suzy Hotrod guest-hosting for Rex. We managed to pick it up on his kitchen radio while we played games. When his partner got home, she thought it was too staticky and put on the Spotify rockabilly channel instead. It got ... depressing. Just -- I'm not terribly well musically educated compared to a lot of folx around here. Every show is full of acts that are new to me (or that I have only heard on WFMU). That channel was song after song that I already knew and heard on FM radio and bar jukeboxes my whole life over and over.
	♥ 11:33am Jeff Golick: Pretty sure the word is "slamps."
	♥ 11:33am Tome: /'/'/'/''/'/Does the Snoopy Dance to the Coffee PoT \'\'\'\\'\'\ doesn't get better than This !<>!
	♥ 11:34am Ike: This rendition sounds a bit muddy. Does FMU need someone to donate a cleaner-sounding JAMs/KFL CD-R for their library? (I think the originals were all destroyed due to lawsuits, yes?)
	11:34am Davidcolangelo: Who remembers Jive Bunny? He made this jam...
	11:34am rubyschmerling: more cowbell
	♥ 11:35am Ike: *KLF
	11:36am Malcolm: @Handy it's a shame how intolerant people are of a little bit of static these days
	♥ 11:36am melinda: fun mix
	♥ 11:37am David (in London): @morphester - That's a photo I would like to see.
	♥ 11:38am Andrew Waterloo: @Handy that's one thing I found surprising about satellite radio. Even the so-called left field channels are track after track of things I'm overly familiar with.
	♥ 11:38am Ken From Hyde Park: This is the funnest song since the AC/DC one with every other beat removed I heard on Irwin's show yesterday.
	11:39am morphe': Handy - in 30 years I had 3 long...longterm partners and all 3 hated FMU>>> It is a sort of a tradition that our partners/friends hate FMU - your situation sounds different in that yer partner seems like a compatriot... Lucky you!!!
	♥ 11:40am βrian: We say "googe." Rhymes with spooge.
	♥ 11:41am Handy Haversack: @Malcolm, seriously! I swear, it took me and Kate YEARS of hearing WFMU DJs tell us to listen online at WFMU.org before we were like, You know what? We might be able to hear this on the internet instead of on the world's most heroically struggling bathroom boombox! It turns out, all those DJs were right. Though as I sit here and listen on the laptop with a high-density speaker from some arts org, the boombox is on the bathroom in case I have to go to that end of the apartment! Static and all! (better on cloudy days).
	♥ 11:44am ParUbi: I think I created a WFMU account around 2011, years before I actually listened to it. It was because I was looking for stations that played zoviet france. I was so excited that I created an account but didn't take it further. In fact, I didn't actually start listening until last fall.
	♥ 11:46am Handy Haversack: @morphe': I am very lucky. If slow on the uptake. Hey, Jersey City-ers: Ferry to Paulus Hook terminal is the closest to WFMU, right?
	♥ 11:47am βrian: If I heard WFMU on an fm radio, I'd think somebody was pranking me. Cognitive dissonance.
	♥ 11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: If the Duckduckgo folks chose a short name like Flib instead, lots of people would be "Flibbing" for information. #whydidn'theyaskmefirst
	♥ 11:49am tim from champaign (now washington): Oooh! Get Trouble to her goal!!!!
	♥ 11:50am Tim 07030: what about Willie Loman?
	♥ 11:50am βrian: Trouble has been institutionalized!
	♥ 11:51am ParUbi: There still needs to be a reel-to-reel show!
	♥ 11:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Ten Harvey Weinstein pledges will hit the goal.
	11:52am nellies: I want to hear a goat scream
	11:52am morphe': Tim07030(I too am Tim just 00-0) Did ya not get the word .. Willie Loman was hit by a car/truck and brought low....
	11:53am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Nobody don't need everybody but WFM-do.
	11:56am morphe': Nellies - ya do not want to hear a goat scream against the knife. nor a pig.... Sheep are sheep and are more passive(not so intelligent???) Goats and pigs are super intelligent... The opening of the book "Pig Earth" by John Berger is fairly close to being in the shed, barnyard....
	♥ 11:57am Handy Haversack: Did Beck sample that on _Odelay_? The MOOG we have been listening to? Oh, shoot, also: thanks, Trouble and Ken and all the vols. in the phone bank. What a great show today. Thanks for letting us be here! Nice chatting with all you Troubled souls, too. I hope to be infected with YOU.
	11:57am Barbara: pledged online xx
	11:58am johnzo: thanks to the huge volunteers... the ghost of Andre the giant
	♥ 11:59am ParUbi: Pennsylvania! Represent!
	♥ 12:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay! Thanks for a successful show!
	♥ 12:02pm ParUbi: Thanks, Trouble!

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from March 12, 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.

	♥ 9:06am Roberto: ZEE CHILT!
	♥ 9:06am David (in London): @John - A sunny day in the centre of town here. All good.
	♥ 9:08am David (in London): @Handy - I've been lurking, so I've had an eye on what's been going on. This week I've been observing a rule not to comment until after Wake. Damn employer expectations etc etc.
	9:08am Listener Robert: Yay, Melinda!
	♥ 9:08am David (in London): Hey Melinda - Many happy returns of the day to you!
	9:08am cuteCloud: hiii -v-
	9:09am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Hi everyone, especially Trouble and the Birthday Girl, MELINDA! Happy Birthday, Melinda.
	♥ 9:09am Webhamster Henry: Everyone knows I rarely leave my apartment - mostly to look at my shadow and retreat. #webgroundhog
	♥ 9:09am Ken From Hyde Park: More from Julia Sisi: www.juliasisi.com Prepare to be amazed! Yay, happy birthday, Melinda!
	♥ 9:10am Handy Haversack: Happy birthday, Melinda! That Sisi work is fantastic. @David: Right. Very wise.

	9:13am John from Florham park: @Dil bummer about work, it’s cloudy here
	9:13am John from Florham park: @melinda happy birthday @Parubi morning
	♥ 9:14am David (in London): Hey ParUbi
	♥ 9:14am Strandlund: Nothing But Trouble...
	♥ 9:15am melinda: thanks guys!
	9:15am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: This is a beautiful guitar piece, and I thought I HATED John Fahey. His music, I mean, not the actual man.
	9:15am MUWFinMA: Dis is the modern world!
	♥ 9:19am TDK60: Morning Trouble. Will have to wait to pledge later as I work in tourism, had to stop working, no money coming in.
	♥ 9:20am Mike & Dusty: i am pledged to high heaven but gosh-golly the start to this show has me looking at Dusty’s treat budget and wondering if i can cut it yet further...
	♥ 9:20am Trouble: happppppppy birthday melinda!
	♥ 9:21am Handy Haversack: @Mike: I hear you. I have had a few serious talks with Bagpipe about whether he thinks he can eat music. Negotiations are ongoing. I am NOT bringing it up with the cats, though. I'm no fool.
	♥ 9:21am -Ken: Mike - To save money on dog treats, soak some cardboard in beef broth. It really works!
	♥ 9:22am Trouble: sorry to hear about your lack of funds TDK. i want to remind people that we don't need the money today, we bill you , or a swag for life pledge goes on your credit card monthly..
	♥ 9:24am David (in London): @Mike - Foraging in fields and hedgerows can really help to bring one's food expenditure down. The resultant cashable saving can then be transferred straight into SMK's hands, natch.
	♥ 9:24am Mike & Dusty: MC4 > MC5
	♥ 9:25am melinda: thanks Trub!
	♥ 9:25am Mike & Dusty: @-Ken: but i’m vegematarian, i have no beef broth! [this is an absolute lie — i am a vegetarian dog trainer and i have crumbs of lamb lung in my ears and cod-skin in my toes (figuratively)]
	♥ 9:26am Handy Haversack: It is early. I have been tracking "budbreak" on the callery pear tree outside my office window for ten years, and this is the earliest by two weeks in that span -- and that had been an outlier!
	♥ 9:26am Mike & Dusty: @David (in London): i live in NYC, we don’t have fields! and our hedgerows are (snf snf) covered in...dog pee.
	♥ 9:27am David (in London): @Handy - Have you recorded that data anywhere? I feel a data visualisation coming on...
	♥ 9:27am Ike: Seriously, anyone who really wants a cost-cutting idea so you can give more to FMU: if you have any wildly expensive unlimited mobile plans, dump that overpriced crap and get a cheap prepaid phone plan (Page Plus, H20, Net10, etc.). They're not just for bus station crackheads anymore!
	♥ 9:28am Mike & Dusty: ...a vegetarian and a dog trainer, to be clear (i don’t ask the dogs to go meatless)
	♥ 9:29am David (in London): @Mike - You reminded me there of that old Bill Hicks skit about giving up smoking. "I live in New York City. I don't want me sense of smell back. [Sniff, sniff] Wait, is that a dead guy?"
	♥ 9:30am Handy Haversack: @David: Don't tell Mark Hurst, but I use Gmail to track it (I'm gonna kick tomorrow!). An e-mail with "BUDBREAK" as the subject to a friend every year for a long time ...
	♥ 9:32am melinda: @Ike Net10 really blows, I use Ting now for prepaid.
	♥ 9:32am David (in London): @Handy - If you can get the data to me, I'll happily do a visualisation for you. And we can see how early it may be this year. And rest easy, I won't dob you in Mark Hurst.
	♥ 9:33am Mike & Dusty: @David (in London): the mixed blessing of spring approaching is that smell of garbage and piss (and the occasional dead thing) comes on strong in places... come visit! (while it’s still possible)
	♥ 9:34am Switchblade Batman: If you started your show in 1990 Trouble, wouldn't it be 30 years?
	♥ 9:36am melinda: Sem made the trip from Nova Scotia? Cool!
	♥ 9:36am Mike & Dusty: Trub, i’m taking Dusty out, we’ll be back in a little while
	♥ 9:36am Handy Haversack: @David: Will do. First: some toast. Nova Scotia?! I hear it's the new Scotland!
	♥ 9:37am Webhamster Henry: The UK LeGuin is a Hammered Dulcimer smacking delight.
	♥ 9:37am Trouble: @switchblade...i started in 1995, then took off 5 years in 2000, back on in 2005 till now
	♥ 9:38am David (in London): Sem and Stanley are a dynamite pairing.
	9:38am sphere: The music on the Le Guin/Barton release is actually the soundtrack to her novel Always Coming Home.
	9:40am John from Florham park: @trouble you don’t sound a day over 21:)
	♥ 9:40am Mike & Dusty: @sphere i thought the Kesh were from Left Hand of Darkness? maybe i’m misremembering UK le G’s books...
	♥ 9:40am Ike: @melinda, good to know. For very low-usage folks like me, the absolute cheapest ones seem to be Page Plus and H20. Currently I'm on H20 which uses the AT&T network, but I may go back to Page Plus (on the Verizon network) at some point.
	9:42am sphere: @ Mike & Dusty - Nope, the Kesh are from Always Coming Home.
	9:42am ParUbi ¤¤¤¤: That comp does sound intriguing...
	9:44am Dances with Moomins: Good Morning New Jersey! Crud! you guys changed your clocks! I missed the first while. voi voi. Cheers to all the supportive Moderns ( the world over!)
	♥ 9:47am βrian: Our coöp is pretty much out of non-perishable foodstuffs. Dried beans, canned whatever ... nada. The place was packed at 10 minutes til closing. Oy.
	9:47am sphere: @Dances with Moomins - We have odd chronological rituals in America.
	♥ 9:48am βrian: Daylight Saving Time and the end times. Take your pick.
	9:50am Dances with Moomins: Hi Sphere, seems US has really moved up the change, here in Finalnd the clocks change in a few weeks ...and next year we won't change them anymore! I'll be happy if they keep 'standard time' instead of keeping 'daylight savings' but in the winter it is dark, summer:light . Who needs a clock?
	♥ 9:51am -Ken: Yes we are in that uncomfortable nether region in between the clocks changing in the US and the UK
	9:51am popgoestheworld: I love Helado Negro!!! Thank you!
	♥ 9:51am melinda: @Brian that's severe. Is it a small co-op? I went shopping at mine yesterday and it was still well-stocked.
	♥ 9:52am melinda: Lovely sounds.
	♥ 9:55am βrian: It's a big coöp, actually. They've been expanding wildly during the last decade.
	♥ 9:57am steveo: Seen in an instagram comment: "Thoroughly feels like a Thursday, let’s enjoy the little things." Seems appropriate. Glad to be listening; you folks are good at marathoning.
	9:58am Dances with Moomins: rest in peas CD 3
	9:59am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Another one bites it, time to hit up the thrifts!
	♥ 10:00am Handy Haversack: That was awesome.
	♥ 10:00am βrian: What is an armoury show, anyway?
	♥ 10:01am ParUbi: Yay! (From Pittsburgh)
	♥ 10:02am steveo: an armory is a place for storing armaments (formerly); it has lots of space for events and whatnot, and this one is an art show.
	10:02am allanINtoronto: Oh man, the Armoury Show. Vladimir Tatlin, art, freeform radio, catfood, knitting needles. A little older, a little more confused....
	10:04am Dances with Moomins: Brian, Big art show was ( is ?) at the armory in Manhattan ( Park ave in the 60's ...i've been gone too long ) the 1913 show was an epoch making
	♥ 10:06am Marley P. Dogg: Get trouble that cash people
	♥ 10:06am Handy Haversack: My partner is a teaching artist at the Park Ave. Armory as one of her jobs, contextualizing and leading NYC HS kids through the shows they have in the Drill Hall, which is the size of a city block. Lots of installations, exhibitions, performances, etc. still go on there. And, of course, workshops being canceled. Pandemic not taking it easy on freelance artist-educators.
	♥ 10:06am βrian: I like the birds, but J'adore les oiseaux !
	♥ 10:09am melinda: Didn't the FMU record fair used to happen at an armory?
	♥ 10:11am Trouble: the original armory show was in nyc in 1913: marcel duchamp urinal preview. contemporary world uses the armory show to showcase galleries etc in nyc
	♥ 10:13am steveo: Here is a photo Duchamp on the 50th anniversary. media.npr.org... (with his painting and art historian Henri Merceau )
	10:14am JakeGould: @melinda: Not that armory. Another one. And from what I heard nobody liked it. That smaller armory is the Gramercy Park Armory near 26th Street and I have been to a few art fairs/shows there and that specific one and the space stunk. The “Armory Show” happens in a few places nowadays but the armory show originated at the Park Avenue Armory around 66th Street.
	♥ 10:14am Trouble: yes melinda, it did.
	10:15am Dances with Moomins: Aren't we lucky? Isn't this wonderful? Yes, he said! Cheers Ms. T ! Week after week we seek the peace and joy you send us. Often I find there's a smile I can't control when you're in that studio in Jersey City. ( thanks )
	♥ 10:15am Switchblade Batman: Oh, I misheard then @Trouble, sorry.
	10:16am cuteCloud: o dear Lotl
	10:17am MacDonald: WFMU is going to become a very important resource for many of us. Praise the @Trouble. Take care of each other. Enjoy stuff. Listen to good music. Check in on the loved and unloved. #landoftheloops
	♥ 10:18am Handy Haversack: There are a lot of old armories scattered through the city. That 26th St. one was a HQ after Sept. 11, as I recall. The Arsenal in Central Park is the Parks Dept. HQ where I go for a canoeing permit. I think there's a big one in Park Slope that has a YMCA in it now. Years ago I did some production work on a book that was a history of armories and strategies of control in London and NYC.
	♥ 10:19am melinda: I saw some footage on the FMU vimeo channel of the small armory record fair with Clay Pigeon interviewing people, including Matt Dillon, who looked immediately uncomfortable upon being recognized but Clay was smooth about it.
	10:21am rubyschmerling: no government bailout for you !
	♥ 10:22am Handy Haversack: Still think of the Brooklyn Expo Center, where the record fair is now, as "that weird new building in the neighborhood." But the neighborhood has really been specializing in weird new buildings the last few years, so ... c'est la guerre, I guess. Great set, Trouble! That Mdou Moctar was so good.
	10:22am allanINtoronto: 1913. R. Mutt delivers modernity to NYC. Freeform art (including radio) is birthed. With ear inclined to the ceramic interior of the bowl, Clay Pidgeon's voice could be heard broadcasting from the future.
	♥ 10:23am People Like Us: WFMU IS REALITY
	♥ 10:23am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & Staysh & all!
	♥ 10:23am melinda: It is the real world.
	♥ 10:27am Marley P. Dogg: I don’t care what anyone says - the Statue of Liberty is in NJ
	10:27am Ochre Ogre: The world would be in trouble without WFMU!! XO
	10:27am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: TAYLOR Ham (or pork roll if you must). 'Nuff said. N.J. > N.Y.
	10:29am JakeGould: @MarleyPDogg: Nobody ever enjoys visiting the Statue of Liberty. Every single story I ever hear about visiting it is the same: The ferry was fine. The lines were crazy. We walked around and then headed back to NYC.
	10:34am Ochre Ogre: Since November 2016 the Statue of Liberty has started to melt.
	♥ 10:35am Marley P. Dogg: @Jake - it’s more so about NY trying to tell us what to do
	10:35am Dances with Moomins: I'm from NJ. I've enjoyed every single visit to Liberty Enlightening the World. First time was a 2nd grade class trip in 1960. The USS Nautilus passed with crew on the deck. Perhaps it's an aquired taste. Last time was in August 2001, family photo with WTC in the background. I'd go back tomorrow. As though travel from Europe was easy! ha ha... oh
	10:35am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Sorry JakeGould, but I must be an exception. The first time I went with the fam, it was amazing and we got to see Nelson Mandella who was also visting the 'Statch. Lightning in a bottle and I will never forget it. I also enjoyed the ferry and lines? Well, yeah it's kind of famous I hear. Some people bitch about orgasms probably.
	10:36am JakeGould: I also hear that after Valentine’s Day, all of those oversized stuffed bears at chain drug stores are gather and shoved into the core of the Statue of Liberty to stabilize it.
	♥ 10:38am Greg from ZONE 5: GOD I love this song.
	10:38am JakeGould: ProTip™: If you just want to see the Statue of Liberty, ride the Staten Island Ferry or take the NYC Ferry from Wall Street to Sunset Park or Bay Ridge or Rockaway and you pass it by. Head over to Governor’s Island for a decent view too.
	♥ 10:46am steveo: no license! woah!
	♥ 10:48am steveo: since 1995! haha!
	10:48am John from Florham park: Fellow WFMU listeners it has gotten to the point where I am listening to music and staying away from news, want too keep my sanity
	♥ 10:49am steveo: "modern transmitters are seen as suitable for unattended use because of their high reliability, superior design, the use of built-in protection circuits and the type of audio processing equipment employed."
	10:50am Dances with Moomins: You got it John from Florham P ( from former Livingstonite )
	10:50am PJ: It's not the cold and it's not ebola, but it's not good. European countries are shutting down their borders. I feel like now (today and the next few days) is the fulcrum between "hmm, this isn't looking good" to "holy shit!" Part of the problem is that tests aren't generally available in the US so we have no idea how many people have been infected. For most healthy people, it's going to be a bad flu, but for others . . .
	♥ 10:50am Handy Haversack: Marley Dogg! You're a machine!
	♥ 10:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Women had success last night in soccer, where the US won another tournament. They're paid less pay than the less-successful men's soccer team, oddly.
	10:52am John from Florham park: @Damces we’re you one of those people who hung out at the Livingston mall back in the day
	♥ 10:52am zzz: whoa what’s the story of coming under attack from other public radio stations??
	♥ 10:53am CHUCK ROAST: Why do we listen as we do ? Because it's there.
	♥ 10:54am βrian: Madison? The Isthmus reports!
	10:55am KRYPT: Hi Trouble and Ken, I regard my contribution tou WFMU as the most well spent money I part with.
	♥ 10:55am steveo: i listen all the time just in case dave nelson comes on, so i won't miss it
	10:55am JakeGould: This article in the NY Times is pretty interesting: A flu researcher in Washington State repurposed nasal swabs taken for a flu study to test for Coronavirus earlier in January. The results? “What came back confirmed their worst fear. They quickly had a positive test from a local teenager with no recent travel history. The coronavirus had already established itself on American soil without anybody realizing it.” www.nytimes.com... The thing that’s crazy personally? I had a bad “flu” around February 11th where I had a fever of 103.5F. Wondering now if that was really Coronavirus. Because damn, that was the worst upper respiratory infection I have had ever.
	♥ 10:57am tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Trouble, Staysh and everybody! Keep pledging!
	♥ 10:57am Handy Haversack: Hi, tim!
	♥ 10:58am tim from champaign (now washington): Howdy, Handy!
	♥ 11:00am steveo: then hopefully you have the antibodies now, Jake
	11:01am JakeGould: If anyone wants my antibodies, it will cost you… Sorry but that is how society works.
	11:01am John from Florham park: @Tim how are things in Washington besides UW closing
	♥ 11:02am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: it really helps to prevent people from europe getting onto the US but leave the border open for the UK … :-)
	11:03am JakeGould: U.K. is not Europe. Duh.
	♥ 11:03am Small Frank: that Madeleine, though!
	11:04am JakeGould: Europe has good food and happy gatherings. The U.K. has bad food and sad gatherings. No big whoop.
	♥ 11:05am Hubig Pie: What are you wearing ?
	♥ 11:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: yeah… its far away from france. 19 miles… :-)
	♥ 11:06am Handy Haversack: @SM Ken: Next year: Dog T-shirts!!
	11:06am JakeGould: But look how much culture France has compared to the U.K.
	♥ 11:07am tim from champaign (now washington): @John - Getting crazy! Seattle Public Schools are closed. Gov. Inslee declared "social distancing" and canceling of events with more than 250 people among other things. I live in the county across the Puget sound from Seattle so things are a bit more "wait and see". Through my work, residential care facilities are taking it very seriously and most have locked down.
	♥ 11:07am tim from champaign (now washington): The Seattle Stranger paper has good current reporting if you're interested. www.thestranger.com
	11:09am John from Florham park: @Tim I feel your pain,is KEXP still on the air
	♥ 11:10am Handy Haversack: @tim, are you near Sequim and that amazing Mexican restaurant? And if so, can you send mole?!
	11:11am John from Florham park: @Tim just checked it out and bookmarked for future reading
	11:12am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Dear PJ, that is a good summary of the way things stand at present. I am being cautious and vigilant of my own health and limit my (mass) social gatherings somewhat, but what I'm seeing here is a spiteful attitude from folks who either think it's the harbinger of doom and not being taken seriously or those who would gladly lick stair rails at the bus station to show how glib and above it all they are. America has become a truly polarized place.
	♥ 11:14am David (in London): I just returned from a late lunch in Chinatown, and it's so quiet. You could hear The Specials' Ghost Town playing off in the distance.
	♥ 11:15am tim from champaign (now washington): @Handy - Oooh! I'm about an hour away from there. I haven't visited Sequim yet but I will make a point of seeking it out. Air Mole to the rescue!
	11:15am John from Florham park: @DIL fuck that sucks
	♥ 11:15am Handy Haversack: @David: Be careful! The pro-sickness forces often use ska to lure in the unsuspecting and force them to lick bus station railings! You have to be rocksteady!
	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: @tim, neither Kate nor I can remember what it's called, but ... I don't think there are two Mexican restaurants in Sequim. It's on the main road. And remember: only one syllable in that town's name!
	♥ 11:20am melinda: @Itzall yeah, the polarization sucks.
	♥ 11:20am tim from champaign (now washington): @Handy - cool! I'm planning hiking and camping trips up that way during the summer. I'll keep you posted.
	11:21am morphe': David van der Stoke, et al... I avoided the mishegas of the other day... I have enough problems in my other lives!!!! David I was in London Chinatown in '89 during Tineman(sp) square with my wee Arnan then 3y/o. There SWP/CP folks in front of the Embassy? Cultural Centre protesting that China was anti-communist and regressive... One dude was holding up a massive real bloody pigs head. He eventually got carted off by the Bill... I think I still have photo/prints of that???
	♥ 11:21am Ike: "...those who would gladly lick stair rails at the bus station to show how glib and above it all they are." Ha! I am duly entertained by this phrasing.
	♥ 11:23am The Oscar: William Nilly would be a pretty solid stage name. (Also mornin'!)
	11:25am prudy: REALLY good point about web access...hugely expensive. If you can give anything monthly please do so...the best monthly expense ever!
	11:26am morphe': True rail licking story - Paris apparently had its own fetish - men putting baguettes in the pisoirs and returning later to retrieve and eat - there is a name = Soupeur(sp?)?? VRAIMENT!!!!!
	11:26am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: I've only just now magnified the artwork of today (julia sisi) and it's really something. Not sure how I feel about it yet, which is always a good thing where my taste and proclivities are concerned. Unease with art means it has achieved it's purpose.
	♥ 11:26am Handy Haversack: We are considering skipping the show we have tix for tonight -- but mainly just to marshal energy for a weekend of Jersey City events! Oh, right, I have to research water routes from Brooklyn to JC and back!
	♥ 11:26am The Oscar: I once tried out "Cramps Radio" on one of the algorithmic audio streamers. It started with "Garbage Man," then immediately went into an ad for a rehab facility, which... honestly feels kind of appropriate.
	♥ 11:28am Jeff Golick: This Y la Bamba is a great record.
	11:29am morphe': OCHHHH - writing that made me think of" 2 Women and a cup..." My son says people on the streets of Madrid are afraid of us because of my raggedy aspect so it is Nice to sometimes feel "normal???" We shant be having choclate mousse for deseert this eve.
	♥ 11:29am melinda: @Oscar that's hilarious.
	♥ 11:31am Ike: Ha ha, the JAMs a.k.a. the KLF (Kopyright Liberation Front)!
	11:32am Nate K.: This Jamms song "slaps," I believe that's the word.
	♥ 11:33am Handy Haversack: I went to a friend's place in late Jan., tearing myself away from Suzy Hotrod guest-hosting for Rex. We managed to pick it up on his kitchen radio while we played games. When his partner got home, she thought it was too staticky and put on the Spotify rockabilly channel instead. It got ... depressing. Just -- I'm not terribly well musically educated compared to a lot of folx around here. Every show is full of acts that are new to me (or that I have only heard on WFMU). That channel was song after song that I already knew and heard on FM radio and bar jukeboxes my whole life over and over.
	♥ 11:33am Jeff Golick: Pretty sure the word is "slamps."
	♥ 11:33am Tome: /'/'/'/''/'/Does the Snoopy Dance to the Coffee PoT \'\'\'\\'\'\ doesn't get better than This !<>!
	♥ 11:34am Ike: This rendition sounds a bit muddy. Does FMU need someone to donate a cleaner-sounding JAMs/KFL CD-R for their library? (I think the originals were all destroyed due to lawsuits, yes?)
	11:34am Davidcolangelo: Who remembers Jive Bunny? He made this jam...
	11:34am rubyschmerling: more cowbell
	♥ 11:35am Ike: *KLF
	11:36am Malcolm: @Handy it's a shame how intolerant people are of a little bit of static these days
	♥ 11:36am melinda: fun mix
	♥ 11:37am David (in London): @morphester - That's a photo I would like to see.
	♥ 11:38am Andrew Waterloo: @Handy that's one thing I found surprising about satellite radio. Even the so-called left field channels are track after track of things I'm overly familiar with.
	♥ 11:38am Ken From Hyde Park: This is the funnest song since the AC/DC one with every other beat removed I heard on Irwin's show yesterday.
	11:39am morphe': Handy - in 30 years I had 3 long...longterm partners and all 3 hated FMU>>> It is a sort of a tradition that our partners/friends hate FMU - your situation sounds different in that yer partner seems like a compatriot... Lucky you!!!
	♥ 11:40am βrian: We say "googe." Rhymes with spooge.
	♥ 11:41am Handy Haversack: @Malcolm, seriously! I swear, it took me and Kate YEARS of hearing WFMU DJs tell us to listen online at WFMU.org before we were like, You know what? We might be able to hear this on the internet instead of on the world's most heroically struggling bathroom boombox! It turns out, all those DJs were right. Though as I sit here and listen on the laptop with a high-density speaker from some arts org, the boombox is on the bathroom in case I have to go to that end of the apartment! Static and all! (better on cloudy days).
	♥ 11:44am ParUbi: I think I created a WFMU account around 2011, years before I actually listened to it. It was because I was looking for stations that played zoviet france. I was so excited that I created an account but didn't take it further. In fact, I didn't actually start listening until last fall.
	♥ 11:46am Handy Haversack: @morphe': I am very lucky. If slow on the uptake. Hey, Jersey City-ers: Ferry to Paulus Hook terminal is the closest to WFMU, right?
	♥ 11:47am βrian: If I heard WFMU on an fm radio, I'd think somebody was pranking me. Cognitive dissonance.
	♥ 11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: If the Duckduckgo folks chose a short name like Flib instead, lots of people would be "Flibbing" for information. #whydidn'theyaskmefirst
	♥ 11:49am tim from champaign (now washington): Oooh! Get Trouble to her goal!!!!
	♥ 11:50am Tim 07030: what about Willie Loman?
	♥ 11:50am βrian: Trouble has been institutionalized!
	♥ 11:51am ParUbi: There still needs to be a reel-to-reel show!
	♥ 11:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Ten Harvey Weinstein pledges will hit the goal.
	11:52am nellies: I want to hear a goat scream
	11:52am morphe': Tim07030(I too am Tim just 00-0) Did ya not get the word .. Willie Loman was hit by a car/truck and brought low....
	11:53am Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Nobody don't need everybody but WFM-do.
	11:56am morphe': Nellies - ya do not want to hear a goat scream against the knife. nor a pig.... Sheep are sheep and are more passive(not so intelligent???) Goats and pigs are super intelligent... The opening of the book "Pig Earth" by John Berger is fairly close to being in the shed, barnyard....
	♥ 11:57am Handy Haversack: Did Beck sample that on _Odelay_? The MOOG we have been listening to? Oh, shoot, also: thanks, Trouble and Ken and all the vols. in the phone bank. What a great show today. Thanks for letting us be here! Nice chatting with all you Troubled souls, too. I hope to be infected with YOU.
	11:57am Barbara: pledged online xx
	11:58am johnzo: thanks to the huge volunteers... the ghost of Andre the giant
	♥ 11:59am ParUbi: Pennsylvania! Represent!
	♥ 12:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay! Thanks for a successful show!
	♥ 12:02pm ParUbi: Thanks, Trouble!
