Listener comments!
	9:00am Jennica: Trouble Time!
	♥ 9:01am David (in London): Morning to the Troublesome.
	♥ 9:01am Handy Haversack: Hello, Trouble and all the Troubled.
	♥ 9:01am Trouble: good morning thursday's people!
	♥ 9:03am Handy Haversack: Oh, jeez, John Lewis. RIP. This is a rough week for me for some reason. I met John Lewis a couple of times growing up. Imagine -- a politician you can respect.
	♥ 9:03am sydnius: Rename the pettis bridge
	9:03am The Butterman: Morning Trouble.
	♥ 9:03am βrian: We hear you, Mr Lewis!
	♥ 9:04am pantz: Amen!
	9:04am Rocky Horror: Agreed sydnius!! Agreed!!
	9:05am mrmikestandsir: thank you, Trouble. Thank you.
	9:05am Dances with Moomins: Morning Trouble and Moderns world-wide
	9:05am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bridge yes - but Restore the Voting Rights Act. It is for voting rights John Lewis gave blood & had his skull fractured.
	♥ 9:05am YETI BOB: @HH: Just hearing a recording of his voice is inspiring. It must have really been something to meet him in person. And I think your "for some reason" is quite the understatement...
	9:05am T from New B: Bravo Trouble - brilliant start to the show. Thanks for reminding us that there are leaders worth following.
	♥ 9:06am Baja Joe: Now that’s how you open a radio programme
	♥ 9:06am TDK60: Good morning Trouble, and moderns, post-moderns, Mods.
	♥ 9:07am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble and everyone. Just broken off from catching up on the past two weeks' shows to listen live to this week's. That's as far as my life skills will stretch at the moment, but I'm pretty pleased with them.
	♥ 9:07am tiago: this is lovely thanks Trouble
	♥ 9:07am Trouble: listening to him speak brings tears. we can not afford to lose the amazing ones right now. too many of the sub par floating about...
	♥ 9:08am common: indeed, trouble
	9:09am dug: >Imagine -- a politician you can respect. word
	♥ 9:10am melinda: Morning everyone
	♥ 9:11am David (in London): Morning Handy, Jennica, Yeti Bob, Brian, Rev, TDK, Common, melinda et al.
	♥ 9:11am βrian: A pineapple/almond butter sandwich; cold, black coffee. Ready for day 129.
	♥ 9:12am YETI BOB: Hi David! Top of the (CST) morning to you.
	9:12am dug: i'll take a cup. pass me the coffee
	9:12am Jennica: @David (iL) --> virtual hugs!
	♥ 9:12am gilmour: so good ; good morning
	♥ 9:12am Handy Haversack: Yeah. Tears here, too. I think I am having a bit of a wobble these couple of days. Does anyone even remember what good news sounds like? Argh. Still. Glad to be here with you fine people. Sorry to wobble.
	9:13am dug: good news is: hey trouble is on, turn it up!
	9:14am RabidRabbit: Good morning to all:) Old man voice Good news? I remember my father used to speak of those...he might have heard one once. I wonder what they are?
	♥ 9:14am common: David, all. i concur, Handy.
	9:14am Slaboch: Tomeka is the best!
	9:15am RabidRabbit: Jokes, jokes. All things shall pass. We must stay strong:)
	♥ 9:15am YETI BOB: Tomeka Reid is one of the great players who I used to get a chance to see playing around town ... active in a lot of different groups. Hadn't heard this Quartet album yet ... this is deep. Thanks Trouble
	♥ 9:16am YETI BOB: @HH: It's just exhausting. I've reached the breaking point a few times, then somehow just kept going. (So I guess it wasn't really the breaking point.)
	♥ 9:16am Threemoons: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers!
	9:17am Tara: good morning ! amazing set
	♥ 9:17am YETI BOB: Now they are talking about sending Federal agents into Chicago (and Baltimore) the way they did in Portland. The governor is trying to fight it (by calling folks in Washington who don't answer their phones). It could get really ugly here.
	♥ 9:18am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Yeti Bob. Exactly.
	♥ 9:18am TDK60: YetiBob, The chief exec said they're going to Chi-town.
	♥ 9:19am YETI BOB: @TDK: Right. And the Gov. and Mayor said "Not so fast". And now we're just waiting to see what happens.
	♥ 9:19am pantz: Person...man...woman...camera...TV I'm a genius, y'all!
	♥ 9:20am βrian: Soon enough we'll be invading the Falklands. (Or is it the Malvinas?)
	♥ 9:20am Irene Trudel: Good morning Trouble and all Modern World-sters. Yet another lovely, thoughtful start to our day!
	9:22am RabidRabbit: I love those "aaaa, aaaah" bits in that Sessa song:) I have to admit, without wanting to bring people down, the way things are going down at these protests is starting to remind of Putin's Russia. Especially hearing a story of one person (I think they were non-binary) who were maced, had their comfort dog taken away and then kept in a police cell for 10 hours, to be charged with resisting arrest. That kind of thing is what happens to people who attend protests in Russia. At least the courts are still independent, unlike in Russia, so there's that...
	♥ 9:22am Trouble: i hear you! what if breaking points are creations, when we reach it, we mark another in the distance? I'm hoping this challenge can provide a path to cut through the crap and see the clarity of what is important, to ready us to fight on!!
	♥ 9:22am Adrian in London: @ßrian Falklands if you're British, Malvinas if you're Argentinian or Sean Penn.
	♥ 9:23am waters7: Thanks for being here with us and expressing love and fury. It can feel like a desert sometimes.
	♥ 9:23am Webhamster Henry: Hi everyone! The Modern World is full of wrinkles these days.
	♥ 9:24am YETI BOB: Just read that the mayor of Portland got tear-gassed by Federal agents last night. You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried. @Trouble - thanks for that last comment.
	♥ 9:24am TDK60: Yeti- Paradox: Locals in Portland approached mayor to ask for end of tear gas use by /local/ cops. He refused.
	♥ 9:25am common: just read that, YETI BOB. now looking at the Fall's discography to cleanse my pallet. goddamn.
	♥ 9:26am YETI BOB: @TDK: Jeezus. Like I said, you couldn't make this stuff up. There's always one more unexpected twist.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's some consensus that Drumpf's real prime motivation is to keep executive immunity as POTUS - as there are cases & indictments waiting for him the second he isn't. With the election for his 2nd term - why wouldn't he pull out any & all stops? With mail ballots crucial in the pandemic - the USPS will be one focus. Stormtrooper secret police answerable only to the Fuhrer will excite his base - & there is concern they will be used to intimate voters. Hell - there is concern he won't go no matter how the vote comes down @ this point! So I have a favor to ask. My birthday is 3rd Nov. - election day. I'm asking please to bring a Blue Tsunami - not only crushing Drumpf - but draining the swamp in Congress - barely less important in the game of power - & in your states & local municipalities. Let's see if we can bring more to the polls.
	♥ 9:27am Handy Haversack: Trouble, I so hope so too. Thanks. Thanks.
	♥ 9:27am The Oscar: Mornin'! Space is the Place is such an awesome movie. It's like if Jodorowsky made a blaxploitation film.
	♥ 9:27am PaulRobeson1920: This music is a trip
	♥ 9:28am YETI BOB: @RevRab: I hope you have a very happy birthday this year. I'll do everything I can.
	9:29am Bill W: salutations Trouble and fellow astronauts
	♥ 9:29am TDK60: [said it before:] Those who've been tear gassed know "tear gas" is too polite a term. It should be called choke gas or similar.
	♥ 9:30am Trouble: good morning bill w! happy to have you here!
	♥ 9:30am YETI BOB: TDK: If it were being used by some leader we wanted to demonize, it would be "Chemical weapons".
	♥ 9:30am Roberto: tRump is a chemical weapon in vaguely-human form.
	9:31am Arlene: Calm after the storm.
	9:31am Mary from Lisbon: sounds like an acid circus
	9:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gas in War is illegal. It gives women miscarriages. Rubber bullets blind people. These are atrocities against peaceful 1st Amendment defenders.
	♥ 9:32am Roberto: Yeah I saw some people in Queens got struck by lightning WTH!
	♥ 9:32am YETI BOB: "The 1925 Geneva Protocol categorized tear gas as a chemical warfare agent and banned its use in war shortly after World War I."
	9:32am Really. Lisa.: Hi Trouble and all. <trying not to be depressed and angry>
	♥ 9:33am Irene Trudel: Rev. Rabbit, I'm totally with you. Get rid of them. VOTE!!! (And Happy Birthday in advance.)
	9:33am Mary from Lisbon: Hi Trouble and all
	9:33am Mary from Lisbon: Hi Really Lisa, im failing at trying those things but tomorrow might be a better day
	9:36am Really. Lisa.: Hi Mary, same, pushing through, and will try again tomorrow.
	♥ 9:37am Roberto: Whatever you're doing now, just make dang sure you vote in the November general. It's the only way to end this meshugas.
	♥ 9:38am TDK60: Added to voting, we gotta organize. And help people get to polls just like in civil rights days of the '60s. And learn about and oppose voter suppression. (Greg Palast one reporter who covers vote suppression.)
	♥ 9:38am βrian: "Vee had better make DAMN SURE ..."
	♥ 9:39am pantz: This is beautiful
	♥ 9:40am PaulRobeson1920: Look inward. So within, so without.... also if we are looking, look at the “1955 Bandung Peace Conference.” Those “Ten Principals” point a good way
	♥ 9:40am Pale Son: Voting is crucial, but like 49% of white Americans still think Trump is doing a good job. What the hell is going on down there, I feel like I'll never understand it.
	♥ 9:43am Webhamster Henry: This would be a good community to bring up the recently formed group, centered at interspecies.io . "The Interspecies I/O’s mission is to encourage, explore and facilitate interfaces for interspecies communication and approaches for deciphering the communication of non-human animals. With the aim to positively impact species conservation, welfare, empathy, compassion, enrichment, sustainability, and understanding, it brings together a multidisciplinary group drawn from the sciences, arts and humanities in a rich collaborative forum, to advance the understanding and appreciation of the mental lives and intelligence of the diverse species with which we share our planet."
	♥ 9:43am pantz: If we want to see a landslide victory for Dems across the board, it really comes down to young people. Most are disillusioned with the system, and I don't blame them. Someone in their 20's remembers growing up with Dick Cheney as Commander in Chief.
	♥ 9:44am Webhamster Henry: @TDK60 If you read (and believe) the rather believable Palast, it's been a really long time since we've had a credibly fair national election.
	♥ 9:45am SecretSquirrel: This so good!! The world needs more Yusef Lateef.
	♥ 9:46am Pale Son: But, like, problems with the electoral college and strategies aside, what is actually wrong with people's brains? How can so many people actually think all this is perfectly fine?
	♥ 9:47am Trouble: a word of advice from your musician: thevinylfactory.com...
	9:47am RabidRabbit: They are in Fox News reality, is my take :)
	♥ 9:48am pantz: Fear and lack of critical thinking skills. Those folk want a strong, dictatorial father-figure to tell them what to do, so they don't have to think about stuff or other people.
	♥ 9:49am Roberto: Agreed. There was all kinds of crappola that stole the election in 2016 but the fact remains, enough people were blind, stupid, greedy, or evil enough to think Prez tRump was a good idea.
	♥ 9:49am Lixiviated Life: ok, i'm ready for trouble
	♥ 9:49am TDK60: Yeah, Webhenry. Electoral College has to go too.
	9:50am Really. Lisa.: An acquaintance through work states, with utter disdain, "All of this is happening because of the hate for trump." How's that for a twist?! And it's personal to her.. "all the dems" are the reason *she's forced to stay home.
	9:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In a way it's simple. Demographics are changing - & there are fewer angry white affluent males all the time - & more of everybody else. Republicans know they can't win a fair & actually democratic election - so their strategies must be everything else. So we end up with their unwavering dedication to the Drumpf Cult. It is a sign of their weakness the more extreme they become. It's encouraging in a bitter way : see it for what it is. Billy Bragg has been commenting on new media, youth, & an expectation there will be Accountability. Take heart in this. But I always say the challenge for the Left is disunity. The Romans loved straight lines & the Celts lived spirals. The irony is that those who really live Freedom have a harder time with Organization & a United front.
	♥ 9:51am Adrian in London: Hey Trouble, on a lighter theme, I know you like the Elena Ferrante quartet, but have you seen the TV adaptation? (I think it's on HBO in the US) I avoided it because I often don't like film and TV versions of books I like ("That actress is NOT [name of character" etc] but my wife wanted to watch the series and I gave it a go and it is utterly wonderful. One of the best things I've seen in ages. Going to start season 2 in a little while.
	♥ 9:52am Pale Son: I'm in the middle of Season 2, Adrian, and I think you'll like it at least as much as Season 1. Great adaptation, I agree!
	♥ 9:52am Trouble: remember: lots of people don't vote: not just young people. so some of those idiots who have continued belief in drump, also don't vote. we need to vote and encourage everyone we know to vote
	♥ 9:53am Irene Trudel: Thanks for the Yoshio link, Trouble!
	9:54am RabidRabbit: @RevRabbit: 100% agree (as one rabbit to another :P). We must never lose the sight of the main goal :)!
	♥ 9:54am TDK60: Swell selections, DJ T.
	♥ 9:54am zopa: Words to live by: "Let the retribution match the contribution."
	♥ 9:55am Trouble: wow@adrian. good to hear. i have a hard time with books i love, since the story is so vivid in my head. but i will keep it in mind... right now i need to re-watch derry girls because it is so damn funny and insane.
	♥ 9:55am Trouble: good morning irene!
	♥ 9:56am Webhamster Henry: What a set here, Trouble!
	♥ 9:56am Andrea: yes- retribution=contribution
	♥ 9:56am common: @Trouble: derry girls! so good.
	9:58am RabidRabbit: Love the name of that Adam Oko song, hehe :)
	9:58am dug: to Revolution Rabbit Nov63 the darkest yet promising tidbit I've heard is that come november there will not be a Trump supporter who doesn't know someone who died from Covid. we only need a small percentage of them to wake up and get pissed off for him to lose
	♥ 9:58am Handy Haversack: Derry Girls is fantastic! Trouble, we published a book of collaborative criticism on the Ferrante books. If I was actually at the office, I would grab a copy and bang it in the post to you right now! Gah.
	♥ 9:59am Trouble: have you all responded to the census? 2020census.gov...
	♥ 9:59am TDK60: Revrab - Do you have a link to Billy Bragg commentary? I don't see it after looking...
	♥ 10:00am Adrian in London: @Pale Son If you can get the Blu-Ray/DVD of S01 there's a great making-of featurette, tracking the two leads, plus showing how they built the whole area where it was filmed. Normally those extras are meh but this was great.
	♥ 10:01am Trouble: that sounds great@handy! i didn't read a lot of the criticism, and i am sure there is a lot of it.
	♥ 10:02am Pale Son: Wow, that sounds great, Adrian! The casting is so good, and that town feels so stifling. Would love to see that.
	♥ 10:03am Trouble: this might sound familiar to some of you...
	♥ 10:06am Roberto: You mean to some of us who are/were in the worst band in the world? I might qualify.
	♥ 10:07am oshiwoshi: be careful with that 10cc stuff - i stupidly played I'm Mandy fly me last week and earworm has taken permanent residence in my bonce
	10:08am newbirdwatcher: what's that in the background? :)
	♥ 10:08am David (in London): oshiwoshi, that's one of my all-time favourites. "...just like that girl in Dr No, no, no, no, no...."
	10:09am volunteerKelly: my dog is loving these bird sounds! she is sitting in front of the radio with her ears perked up. Love your show, Trouble!
	♥ 10:11am oshiwoshi: David - you triggered it again... Just like a rolling stone, I'm outside looking in... GAH! ;)
	♥ 10:12am Roberto: Folks wring their hands about "what we gonna do when tRump won't leave?" Well, only one way to find out!
	10:13am Tofu Kills People: "We need serious change." Yes, just probably not the way you think.
	♥ 10:14am Roberto: Tofu kills people? Then I'm already dead.
	10:15am Bill W: It doesn't end with voting. Democrats are never going to defund police unless they are forced to.
	♥ 10:16am Trouble: we are working on that one @bill w
	10:16am RabidRabbit: If tofu kills people, we need to call in the Tofoo Fighters! :P
	♥ 10:16am jt: Yes to the census: They don't gather any vital information actually it's more of just a 'head-count ' really, and it determines how congressional districts get drawn .. and the NUMBER of representatives each state gets depends on population. There are at least 13 congressional districts in and around NYC alone whereas all of the state of Ohio just have nine? Okay, my number might be skewed a bit you get the idea..
	♥ 10:16am Roberto: I'm going out to buy some right now. Later!
	♥ 10:19am WO Town Wick: Like the Elliott Smith vibe from that papercuts
	♥ 10:19am PaulRobeson1920: Change the warrior mentality, by amending or defunding outdated and unjust law- that is- Cruel Nixon era Public Policy. lawenforcementactionpartnership.org... we can be pragmatic
	10:20am RabidRabbit: From an Australian perspective, you guys really need two things: a) compulsory voting and b)a proportionate voting system Or whatever you call that second one. Basically, in Australia, when you vote for a minor party and they don't get a seat in Parliament, your vote goes to whoever the party preferences. So I can vote for the Greens, knowing that they probably won't win, but my vote will still end up going to Labor (the main Left party) and won't be wasted. But it still keep Labor on their toes, knowing that people are voting Green and therefore, wanting them to move further left :)
	♥ 10:20am jt: Also reason to fill out the census: Conservatives hate the census and try to suppress the numbers, so they can reduce/re-draw the voting districts in order to disadvantage the already disadvantaged..
	♥ 10:21am TDK60: Recall, JFK & LBJ didn't get all cushy with civil rights merely due to people voting. there was more: movement in the streets.
	10:22am dug: awesome sauce loving this track :-D
	10:24am dug: @RabidRabbit yes. compulsory voting. years ago a friend from brazil was like how is that not a thing in america? you get fined if you dont vote. and, yes... i know brazil is in a weird spot right now with their democracy.
	♥ 10:24am WoodsOfNH: @RR The second thing is called ranked-choice voting here. Conservatives seem to hate it.
	10:24am Tofu Kills People: Rabbit, we don't need that. If someone has to force you to vote, chances are your vote won't be an informed one.
	♥ 10:25am Handy Haversack: Woods! How was your break?
	10:27am RabidRabbit: @Tofu There's definitely a bit of that :) But I think that you are still less likely to vote for someone extreme. I really doubt someone like Trump could win here. In the US, if 20% of the people love you, given that less than half of the people vote, you have a good chance. In Australia, if 20% of the people love you, most likely 80% hate you. So much harder to win :)
	♥ 10:27am WoodsOfNH: @Handy I'm still breakin'! Pretty good. First week was with kids and grandkidz. Had fun ripping down our two ugly aluminum garage doors and building fancy wooden ones. There was much afternoon cocktailing and lobster boils. Since then I've been reading, listening to music, and staring off into space. A proper time-out.
	♥ 10:27am βrian: We absolutely do need required voting. That will push more people to at least consider who they're voting for, rather than simply yielding the choice.
	10:27am RabidRabbit: @Woods Hehe, no wonder. They know that people will then be able to vote for someone other than the two major parties:)
	♥ 10:27am Pale Son: @RabidRabbit But half the people love him, so proportional representation might not even make that big a difference.
	♥ 10:28am gilmour: many of us do vote, even though we are disenfranchised by the electoral college
	10:28am RabidRabbit: @PaleSon Possibly. Isn't that half of the people who voted, though, not actually half the people?:)
	10:29am RabidRabbit: This track slaps! Love it:)
	♥ 10:29am Jeff Golick: Hello. That Bobby Oroza track was so sweet. In re @Pale Son's question about people's brains, I found this twitter thread to be enlightening (scary, also; not great bedtime reading): twitter.com...
	♥ 10:29am Pale Son: @RR No, unfortunately.
	♥ 10:29am gilmour: i'd rather be a condor than a nail
	10:29am Tofu Kills People: Rabbit, perhaps. Still, we're a free country (ostensibly, anyway).
	10:29am RabidRabbit: @PaleSon sweating emoji
	♥ 10:30am Tome: thinking of that movie now ,,, <> get's me all vaclempt <>
	10:30am RabidRabbit: Actually, the third thing you need is that all elections must be on the weekend so that everyone actually has the opportunity to go and vote:)
	♥ 10:30am Trouble: i don't know where you are getting these 50% like drump numbers... older polls? as of March; 15% approve of him as president, 30% have mixed feelings per USA today poll
	♥ 10:31am David (in London): Yma Sumac was the Diamanda Galas of her day.
	♥ 10:31am WoodsOfNH: The problem here (and I suspect mostly elsewhere) is the whole "perception is reality" problem. Supporters will see that ad showing people attaching the police and believe this is what's going on. No matter that the ad used photos taking during a Ukraine protest. It's so ugly.
	♥ 10:31am PaulRobeson1920: A clear vision is helpful. Listen to and read, or watch and listen to Kennedy’s June 10th, 1963, commencement address he gave to the graduating seniors of American University. A speech for all men and women. On “this small planet”
	♥ 10:31am Tome: Hi Trouble <>< ,, shoot can't get 91% Isoproply no where ,, on my last like 200mL <>
	10:31am dug: @WoodsOfNH: ranked choice voting would be a game changer
	♥ 10:32am Pale Son: projects.fivethirtyeight.com... I mean, it's less than half, to be fair, but close enough to be terrifying, given how horrible he is.
	♥ 10:32am βrian: Of course, many Americans work on weekends, too. But there does need to be a national holiday (you know, the kind with time off) for election days.
	10:32am dug: i could vote: bernie warren biden
	♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: Woods, sounds idyllic. I wish you joy and continued well-blended quarantinis.
	♥ 10:33am gilmour: i wonder who will be biden's veep pick; i'm still rooting for warren but she may not be the most strategic (think of the brain)
	♥ 10:33am Pale Son: Looks interesting, Jeff, thanks!
	♥ 10:34am βrian: @gilmour: I'm with you there.
	♥ 10:35am PaulRobeson1920: @woods “The Medium is the Message.” The moving image is powerful... The types of thinking fostered by the written word are different than the types of thinking fostered by the T.V / moving image.
	10:35am dug: @gilmour i read an interesting op ed in the NYT (i think it was there) about how the best thing is give warren the sec of the treasury.
	♥ 10:35am Pale Son: And I forget where the 49% white approval number came from, but I just saw it yesterday. Will try to find.
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: oooo: white approval, i see
	♥ 10:36am WoodsOfNH: @Handy And just for fun here's the before/after on the garage. It was hot & sweaty work but we're SO happy with it. Before: imgur.com... After: imgur.com...
	♥ 10:36am βrian: Just got back from a walk. It's quite a creamy day. Very humid but only 66°F.
	♥ 10:36am Pale Son: 40.3% general approval.
	♥ 10:37am TDK60: Trouble, I dig the mellow sounds of the Vetiver combo.
	♥ 10:38am βrian: Ach, my stream jumped to Bjork. I knew that couldn't be right.
	♥ 10:41am WoodsOfNH: Was happy to see the poll that said only 1 in 10 favor full reopening of the schools. It felt like there was such widespread support for it and I just couldn't see why. Turns out it was the loud people getting the attention.
	♥ 10:42am Trouble: true@brian. i want to like bjork. i find her creativity fantastic and inspiring, just don't appreciate her voice. my bad
	♥ 10:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and friends. I found some bird-related music on the band camp, but it seems to be sold out. shikashika.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 10:43am TDK60: Woods, if what you say is so, and I figure it is, we gotta turn the amp up to 11, eh?
	10:43am RabidRabbit: I will tell you something even more bizarre. My cousin in law is Malaysian-Chinese and I also have another guy I know from school who is Russian Jewish. They are both massive Trump fans and fans of people like Laura Ingraham. The amazing thing (as someone messaged me after one of the FB arguments) is that they both would be actually excluded from a society they are trying to create. Now, this I definitely have trouble understanding. It's like a total doublethink and divorce from reality...
	♥ 10:43am Trouble: that is what i am playing @ken from hyde park. digital is still available?
	♥ 10:43am PaulRobeson1920: To quote Jim Morrison (who, today, would be 77 Years of age and the same age as Joe Biden) “...no one here, gets out alive, now...” Voting has a rightful and good place here in America and IS necessary - but Remember we are all sharing this human experience on our “small planet”
	♥ 10:43am Handy Haversack: Nice work, Woods! What I wouldn't give to be in Maine right about now.
	♥ 10:43am WoodsOfNH: @TDK60 Yes!
	10:44am Tofu Kills People: @Rabbit, why would your friends be excluded?
	♥ 10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, cool. Digital seems to be available. Just physical media being sold out.
	♥ 10:45am pantz: In related school news: Sen Rick Scott of FLA wants strongly for schools to open in the fall, but says his grandchildren will not be attending. Says his daughters are going to focus on the health of their children. If that ain't an example of GOP hypocrisy, I don't know what is.
	♥ 10:46am βrian: Camille, on the other hand ...
	♥ 10:46am Pale Son: @Rabbit Everyone but billionaires suffers under Trumps program, even white working class folks, who should be, e.g., enjoying universal health care. The trick is to make people believe they want what's worse for them because if they get what they want someone undeserving will take it away.
	10:47am RabidRabbit: @Tofu If what they want came to pass, you would literally only be accepted in Australia if you were white..it would be like going to the 60s and the White Australia policy, when even Southern Europeans were discriminated against :(
	10:47am RabidRabbit: @PaleSon Very true...
	♥ 10:48am Webhamster Henry: Don't you know? The rich are just not rich enough. That's basically the underlying philosophy behind all legislation.
	♥ 10:48am pantz: Ah! My favorite UB40 song!
	♥ 10:48am Yes: good morning. i have a lot of catching up to do
	10:48am The Butterman: Woods of NH? Did you go to school in RI?
	♥ 10:48am TDK60: Great early UB40 track.
	♥ 10:48am WO Town Wick: I think compulsory voting sounds nice but it is a legal non-starter now. Maybe start seeding public ground now and in 50 years it could survive a court challenge. @RapidRabbit, almost everyone I know from Russia supports Republicans down the line. Not sure I get it either, maybe they just buy the line that Dems want communism.
	10:49am RabidRabbit: Unfortunately, have to go to bed as it's pushing 1 am over here. Really appreciate the chat and the music, though:) Thank you to everyone and to Trouble:) Stay safe and strong...hope to be here next time :)
	♥ 10:50am Jeff Golick: So good. Totally forgot about this record.
	♥ 10:50am WoodsOfNH: @The Butterman No, first CT then Maine.
	10:50am RabidRabbit: @WO Ahaha, yes, unfortunately, a lot of people from Russia rejected all Left policies, without realising they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. My parents are also like that, hehe:)
	♥ 10:50am βrian: In Madison, some pre-K schools are setting up K-2 programs to physically host kids with a teacher, in order to follow the school district's virtual program. The district schools themselves are definitely staying closed.
	♥ 10:50am gilmour: i've started a new strategy of going on the digital book waiting list for lots of books that is see on the New Yorker's briefly noted page. (not every week, because I can't read 4 books a week) Read some good ones lately a biography of Carson McCullers by Jenn Shapland and now i'm in the middle of a fiction by Lydia Millet: "A Children's Bible" about a multi-family summer house rental (no spoilers I'm in the middle of it)
	♥ 10:51am gilmour: (waiting list at my library i mean)
	♥ 10:54am gilmour: the library app (Libby) lets you give up your spot and specify the number of days to wait, and then it comes up again after that. so as long as i keep it up, i'll always have something good to read
	♥ 10:54am Trouble: i just finished the fabulous Jean Rhys 'after leaving mr mackenzie'. now i am onto grand union by zadie smith, she never disappoints.
	♥ 10:55am Trouble: that sounds like a good strategy @gilmour!
	♥ 10:56am gilmour: i also put all of your recommendations on my holds list, of course, Trouble :)
	♥ 10:57am Handy Haversack: Can't believe I have to leave, but I have a meeting. An important one, but still. Thank you, Trouble. Really needed this today. Be well, all.
	♥ 10:57am tim from champaign (now washington): A few months ago I finally read Marlon James' A History of Seven Killings based on high recommendations from the peanut gallery on Trouble's show. I really enjoyed it. As a bonus, Marlon James really knows music. Usually music references in fiction tend to be cringe worthy but he nailed it.
	10:58am Mike tp: sensational selections Trouble.1050. 1100 am
	♥ 10:58am Trouble: i am honored @gilmour!
	♥ 10:59am gilmour: dang brooklyn library dosn't have the Rhys.. (and grand union is available now, but i'm not ready for it -- so a small bug in my algorithm)
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: yes @tim from champaign; great book! i met him at brooklyn book fest and asked him to come out and guest dj. don't think that's going to happen...
	11:01am deborah: Listening. Of course, I will vote and ask everyone I know and can reach to Vote Blue! We can't tell students for whom to vote, though. Most, if they are allowed to vote, will vote Blue....Didn't know there is a Yusef Lateef anthology!
	♥ 11:01am WoodsOfNH: I'm at the delicious point where I just finished a book (Padma Laksmi's memoir...holy smokes, the crap she went through!) and have to pick the next. So it's either: Flutter Echo by David Toop or A Girl's Story by Annie Ernaux (another New Yorker recommendation)
	♥ 11:01am Trouble: grand union is s series of short stories, so you could mix it in with other reading...@gilmour
	♥ 11:01am oshiwoshi: ooh I'm getting that Ozo Kites feeling
	♥ 11:03am gilmour: ok i got it. i probably have time to read both before they are due... it's good to have goals haha
	11:04am deborah: Correction: Of course, there are anthologies. What was I thinking!
	♥ 11:04am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh wow, Trouble! That would be so cool.
	11:04am The Butterman: Woods, oh I thought I recognized your name from college …never mind!’
	♥ 11:04am Trouble: today's show is named after one of zadie smith's stories: www.newyorker.com...
	♥ 11:06am gilmour: "The Lazy River is a non-judgment zone."
	♥ 11:07am Trouble: @time from champagn: i thought so too, but maybe marlon doesn't want obe pegged as a dj...hah
	♥ 11:07am Trouble: i adore that story @gilmour, she is soooo smart and sassy
	11:08am sphere: hullo
	♥ 11:08am Trouble: there was another brilliant story from the new yorker by zadie about people putting up weird signs in the windows of their tall apt buildings. did you read that? @gilmour
	♥ 11:09am gilmour: i've been reading a lot of female writers lately; got a lot of catching up to do
	♥ 11:09am tim from champaign (now washington): Other books I've read recently are Clarice Lispector - Agua Viva (I loved it!), Joan Didion - Year of Magical Thinking, Lester Bangs - Psychotic Reactions. I'm currently reading Sam McPheeters - Mutations.
	♥ 11:09am Trouble: thanks @sphere for the bird record heads up!
	♥ 11:09am Little Danny: Hi Trouble 'n' all
	11:09am sphere: you're welcome trouble! :)
	♥ 11:09am Trouble: clarice lispector is out there, very surreal
	♥ 11:10am gilmour: i don't often read the fiction there; only if it grabs me right away. unfair perhaps. i don't recall the weird signs in windows.
	11:10am Dave from Brooklyn: Trouble for racists:John Lewis
	♥ 11:10am tim from champaign (now washington): @Trouble - Ha! what the heck?!? Who wouldn't want to be pegged as a DJ? I'd gladly have that reputation.
	♥ 11:10am PaulRobeson1920: “Red car take me away Way away to a better day Wouldn't take more than a set of keys, To set my heart and my mind at ease”
	♥ 11:13am spodiodi: hi Trouble, crew, and listeners
	♥ 11:16am YETI BOB: Oh man "Yesterday's New Quintet" is hitting the spot. Never heard this before. What a great sound, and what a great name for a group.
	♥ 11:16am PaulRobeson1920: Intro to “terra batida” sounded almost like “Handsome Johnny” performed by Richie Havens at Woodstock
	♥ 11:18am YETI BOB: been digging the whole show... but this one is so groovy
	11:21am Mary from Lisbon: great show
	11:21am musthavethosebirdsounds: thanks for your beautiful music! :)
	11:21am Mary from Lisbon: Cabeça means Head
	11:21am Mary from Lisbon: Amarelo means yellow
	11:21am musthavethosebirdsounds: loco in the cabeza
	♥ 11:22am Roberto: Lol for some people, "head" might as well be "rocks."
	♥ 11:22am PaulRobeson1920: Takes practice to Rollll those rrrrs
	11:22am Itzall Hear: Yma Sumac, ne; "Amy Camus"... such a sweet lady, rest in peace.
	♥ 11:22am jt: What is that French guy saying in the 'bed -music"? Anyone know?
	♥ 11:23am βrian: He's talking about the birds and their behavior.
	♥ 11:24am Andrea: love clubs.
	♥ 11:26am PaulRobeson1920: Thanks Trouble
	♥ 11:26am YETI BOB: I had Elotes Fries the other day. (Grilled corn and cheezy sauce and lime dumped on top of French Fries... not bad!)
	♥ 11:27am Adrian in London: @Trouble This week I went to a restaurant for the first time since March. We didn't;t have to do the washing up afterwards. It was incredible.
	11:27am Dave from Brooklyn: Moms of Portland rule
	♥ 11:27am Carmichael: So do daughters, as in mine.
	11:27am Reno D: Yma was kinda crazy, not so sweet. Died owing me money.
	♥ 11:27am PaulRobeson1920: We are more similar the world over than dissimilar
	♥ 11:28am Trouble: thanks for the radio love, y'all!
	♥ 11:28am David (in London): Adrian, I went to the pub for the first time on Tuesday. A bit of a palaver, but it was glorious to sit and have a pint. Where did you go?
	♥ 11:28am YETI BOB: @Itzall: It's funny that Yma Sumac spelled backward is Amy Camus ... but Sumac was her real name. According to her obituary in the NYT: "The largest and most persistent fabrication about Ms. Sumac was that she was actually a housewife from Brooklyn named Amy Camus, her name spelled backward. The fact is that the government of Peru in 1946 formally supported her claim to be descended from Atahualpa, the last Incan emperor."
	♥ 11:29am Adrian in London: @David To Padella by Borough Market. Got there before noon, zapped a QR code and went straight in. It was so good.
	♥ 11:30am βrian: Where's our granny today? (Spicy Tuna)
	♥ 11:33am βrian: I can't imagine going to a restaurant. We did takeout once, but even that seemed fraught.
	11:33am Itzall Hear: Hi Yeti Bob, I know, and of course you're right...I just think it's kind of funny, though false. I had the great fortune to spend some time with her years ago at a performance she gave during "The Hukilau" event in Fort Lauderdale, FL...didn't have the nerve, or was just too star struck to ask but I always thought it was a funny bit of an (obscure) "urban legend" about her. Anyone who met her could confirm that the story was a complete hoax!
	♥ 11:36am David (in London): Adrian, that sounds fantastic. I think I might try something similar in the coming week. Borough Market was a good shout.
	♥ 11:38am Adrian in London: I've been working from home since March but when I'm in the office it's just nearby, near Flat Iron Square, so I know the area really well, and have missed it. Which part of town do you live/work in?
	11:38am Jeezuseffinchrist: I looooove helado negro, never heard this version of 2 dia before!
	11:39am Sonny: Trouble are you serious callibg the RIOTS in portland peaceful?? Theu are Marxists thugs destroyong and have no purpose... Nothing worse than afucking clueless socialist like you ..Bet you think BLM is an organization for good?? Wow stupid clueless liberals
	11:39am Dave from Brooklyn: Portand mons rule Drumpf's thugs ain't cool
	11:39am Reno D: I visited Yma in LA in ‘86 and later created a set for her at NYC’s The Ballroom. She was handful. Her great joy was that the chef at The Ballroom at the time was also Peruvian. And she could eat!
	♥ 11:40am Trouble: the constant making of food is a bit tiresome. Many days there are three of us here so lunch can't be just pb & j sandwiches, plus we have to use up a the veggies bought a the farmers mrkt. task usually goes to me and it sucks up a lot of time out of my day: 3 meals. sigh. dj icepack is on clean up duty, unless he is cooking.
	11:41am Reno D: One happy moment for me was introducing B52 Kate Pierson to her idol, Yma!
	11:42am Dave from Brooklyn: Portland moms have heart Fascist thugs got none!
	11:42am Mini Glistener James: So good!
	11:43am Ben Trovato: Sonny, I'm sure there are very fine people on both sides. Doesn't sound so good now, does it?
	♥ 11:43am tim from champaign (now washington): I love this Wee record!
	11:43am rw: What was that sample? It sounded so familiar!
	11:43am Listener Bop Monroe: let them eat bleach.
	♥ 11:44am pantz: I'd like a wee dram and listen to this Wee record.
	11:44am Jeezuseffinchrist: I coulda sworn this was 3T for a minute lol
	11:44am David in London: Adrian, I live in Hackney, but worked for years in More London, so Borough Market was a regular lunch destination. And after work drinks in the Market Porter naturally...
	11:44am Michal: Columbus soul situation.
	11:45am Listener Bop Monroe: greetings from Tannersville all. great show this morning Ms. T.
	11:45am sphere: did they sample Cypress Hill? or did they sample a sample that Cypress Hill sampled?
	♥ 11:46am PaulRobeson1920: @Sonny Can you define what it means to be Liberal in America? Realize that RFK is a Liberal... RFK is somebody, his memory is more than a big bridge
	♥ 11:47am Adrian in London: @David I'm a couple of stops south of Croydon (so basically France…) so have so fewer good places to eat and drink, but we do have trees… Can you see Earth opening again any time soon? Not sure how a few hundred people will be able to socially distance while leaving via that narrow staircase.
	11:47am Listener Bop Monroe: 'obscurred by clouds' is calling, they want their settings back.
	11:47am sphere: @ Sonny - actually, Portland is quite OK, except for the times when federal troops break up peaceful protests. you've got to stop watching right-wing images cause they are playing with your mind.
	11:48am Dave from Brooklyn: Phreespeech!
	11:50am Robert Potenza: If I wanted a political views I'd put on the news as a veteran you offended me.if it wornt for people like me u could spu your communist discust for this country youed rather stick up for blm nazies and anarchists
	11:51am Davido: Really loving this set right now, @Trouble! Thanks for piloting us all through our mornings
	♥ 11:51am Trouble: since when is dissent communisism? i have great respect for veterans but they have nothing to do with Portland's demonstrations
	11:51am David in London: Adrian, oh man, contemplating questions like that gives me the chills. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that the damage isn’t too extensive. There are some great venues around at the moment, and I hope that as many as possible can stumble out of the wreckage of 2020 more or less intact. Do you go to EartH much? That must be a demanding journey home.
	♥ 11:51am Trouble: thanks@davido!
	♥ 11:52am TDK60: Thanks for yet another fine show, Trouble. Freedom!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: For anyone making a claim to Patriotism & Order - may I humbly suggest the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United Staes of America is the First for a reason. & that it guarantees not only Free Speech in this great nation ...& which friend is not the same as a right to present insult & vitriol to a host in their own privately owned forum - but also to present grievance to the Government specifically - & the Right to public assembly & protest. The Portland Moms are there to protect their children who are there to protect Rights of people of color - including even the Right to breath despite extrajudicial Police murder - & they chant there's no riot here - take off your riot gear. It's a message Sir we might all benefit from considering in our interactions.
	♥ 11:54am Andrea: Thank you for your show, Trouble, and standing up for people trying to make this country better. Stand strong for dignity of all.
	♥ 11:55am Adrian in London: @David Yeah, I really like Earth. It's not too bad home, maybe an hour. Train to High and I, Victoria line to Victoria and then a train to East Croydon then drive home. Maybe an hour on a good night with the connections lined up.
	♥ 11:55am gilmour: thanks, trouble -- wonderful to listen
	♥ 11:55am Trouble: thanks for sitting in and listening this morning!
	♥ 11:56am Adrian in London: Thanks Trouble. I've enjoyed it tremendously.
	11:56am Ben Trovato: @Robert Potenza: no issue with veterans (my dad was decorated WW2, and I had a draft number in Vietnam era, but not called). First amendment gives us the right to free speech, and if this isn't a peaceful venue to share your opinions, what is? I'm not a communist, but it does seem that socialism works very well for American corporations when they line up for handouts during a pandemic, and get huge tax breaks at any time. But for the little guy, to hell with him, right? No healthcare, crumbling safety net...and worse.
	11:56am Mary from Lisbon: wonderful trouble
	♥ 11:56am oshiwoshi: thanks Trouble - will be revisiting on popup as soon as it's up
	♥ 11:58am Irene Trudel: Another gem today,Trouble!
	♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble, as we navigate the modern world. Nice work today, Matt Skeleton!
	♥ 11:59am PaulRobeson1920: I was labeled a Communist! Have no fear... Paul Robeson’s life is illustrative and worthy and calls for our attention... as does the founding document of BLM/Civil Rights the “Letter From The Birmingham Jail” April 1963
	11:59am Jeezuseffinchrist: Trouble can you provide a link?
	♥ 11:59am βrian: I see Matt has graduated from "Little Matty." He must be doing good work.
	♥ 12:00pm Trouble: helado negro's instagram page is under his name
	♥ 12:00pm PaulRobeson1920: We can go back Further and farther but there is only so many hours in the day
	12:00pm musthavethosebirdsounds: adios amigas y amigos
	12:01pm Reno D: Most thankful to Trouble and Matty for a nice morning.
	♥ 1:10pm Pale Son: Found the recent 49% white-support-for-Trump figure. Late, sorry, but thought I'd post it here for anyone happening to look back: www.nbcnews.com... He's also ahead among all men and way ahead among whites without college degrees.
	♥ 9:11am Handy Haversack: (Not sure if you'll see this, Trouble, but it seems like the playlist page for next week's show [7/30] won't load -- at least for me, on two machines and in two browsers, it just comes up blank.)
	♥ 9:32am David (in London): Handy, you are a visitor from the future!

	9:12am Jennica: @David (iL) --> virtual hugs!
	♥ 9:12am gilmour: so good ; good morning
	♥ 9:12am Handy Haversack: Yeah. Tears here, too. I think I am having a bit of a wobble these couple of days. Does anyone even remember what good news sounds like? Argh. Still. Glad to be here with you fine people. Sorry to wobble.
	9:13am dug: good news is: hey trouble is on, turn it up!
	9:14am RabidRabbit: Good morning to all:) Old man voice Good news? I remember my father used to speak of those...he might have heard one once. I wonder what they are?
	♥ 9:14am common: David, all. i concur, Handy.
	9:14am Slaboch: Tomeka is the best!
	9:15am RabidRabbit: Jokes, jokes. All things shall pass. We must stay strong:)
	♥ 9:15am YETI BOB: Tomeka Reid is one of the great players who I used to get a chance to see playing around town ... active in a lot of different groups. Hadn't heard this Quartet album yet ... this is deep. Thanks Trouble
	♥ 9:16am YETI BOB: @HH: It's just exhausting. I've reached the breaking point a few times, then somehow just kept going. (So I guess it wasn't really the breaking point.)
	♥ 9:16am Threemoons: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers!
	9:17am Tara: good morning ! amazing set
	♥ 9:17am YETI BOB: Now they are talking about sending Federal agents into Chicago (and Baltimore) the way they did in Portland. The governor is trying to fight it (by calling folks in Washington who don't answer their phones). It could get really ugly here.
	♥ 9:18am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Yeti Bob. Exactly.
	♥ 9:18am TDK60: YetiBob, The chief exec said they're going to Chi-town.
	♥ 9:19am YETI BOB: @TDK: Right. And the Gov. and Mayor said "Not so fast". And now we're just waiting to see what happens.
	♥ 9:19am pantz: Person...man...woman...camera...TV I'm a genius, y'all!
	♥ 9:20am βrian: Soon enough we'll be invading the Falklands. (Or is it the Malvinas?)
	♥ 9:20am Irene Trudel: Good morning Trouble and all Modern World-sters. Yet another lovely, thoughtful start to our day!
	9:22am RabidRabbit: I love those "aaaa, aaaah" bits in that Sessa song:) I have to admit, without wanting to bring people down, the way things are going down at these protests is starting to remind of Putin's Russia. Especially hearing a story of one person (I think they were non-binary) who were maced, had their comfort dog taken away and then kept in a police cell for 10 hours, to be charged with resisting arrest. That kind of thing is what happens to people who attend protests in Russia. At least the courts are still independent, unlike in Russia, so there's that...
	♥ 9:22am Trouble: i hear you! what if breaking points are creations, when we reach it, we mark another in the distance? I'm hoping this challenge can provide a path to cut through the crap and see the clarity of what is important, to ready us to fight on!!
	♥ 9:22am Adrian in London: @ßrian Falklands if you're British, Malvinas if you're Argentinian or Sean Penn.
	♥ 9:23am waters7: Thanks for being here with us and expressing love and fury. It can feel like a desert sometimes.
	♥ 9:23am Webhamster Henry: Hi everyone! The Modern World is full of wrinkles these days.
	♥ 9:24am YETI BOB: Just read that the mayor of Portland got tear-gassed by Federal agents last night. You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried. @Trouble - thanks for that last comment.
	♥ 9:24am TDK60: Yeti- Paradox: Locals in Portland approached mayor to ask for end of tear gas use by /local/ cops. He refused.
	♥ 9:25am common: just read that, YETI BOB. now looking at the Fall's discography to cleanse my pallet. goddamn.
	♥ 9:26am YETI BOB: @TDK: Jeezus. Like I said, you couldn't make this stuff up. There's always one more unexpected twist.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's some consensus that Drumpf's real prime motivation is to keep executive immunity as POTUS - as there are cases & indictments waiting for him the second he isn't. With the election for his 2nd term - why wouldn't he pull out any & all stops? With mail ballots crucial in the pandemic - the USPS will be one focus. Stormtrooper secret police answerable only to the Fuhrer will excite his base - & there is concern they will be used to intimate voters. Hell - there is concern he won't go no matter how the vote comes down @ this point! So I have a favor to ask. My birthday is 3rd Nov. - election day. I'm asking please to bring a Blue Tsunami - not only crushing Drumpf - but draining the swamp in Congress - barely less important in the game of power - & in your states & local municipalities. Let's see if we can bring more to the polls.
	♥ 9:27am Handy Haversack: Trouble, I so hope so too. Thanks. Thanks.
	♥ 9:27am The Oscar: Mornin'! Space is the Place is such an awesome movie. It's like if Jodorowsky made a blaxploitation film.
	♥ 9:27am PaulRobeson1920: This music is a trip
	♥ 9:28am YETI BOB: @RevRab: I hope you have a very happy birthday this year. I'll do everything I can.
	9:29am Bill W: salutations Trouble and fellow astronauts
	♥ 9:29am TDK60: [said it before:] Those who've been tear gassed know "tear gas" is too polite a term. It should be called choke gas or similar.
	♥ 9:30am Trouble: good morning bill w! happy to have you here!
	♥ 9:30am YETI BOB: TDK: If it were being used by some leader we wanted to demonize, it would be "Chemical weapons".
	♥ 9:30am Roberto: tRump is a chemical weapon in vaguely-human form.
	9:31am Arlene: Calm after the storm.
	9:31am Mary from Lisbon: sounds like an acid circus
	9:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Gas in War is illegal. It gives women miscarriages. Rubber bullets blind people. These are atrocities against peaceful 1st Amendment defenders.
	♥ 9:32am Roberto: Yeah I saw some people in Queens got struck by lightning WTH!
	♥ 9:32am YETI BOB: "The 1925 Geneva Protocol categorized tear gas as a chemical warfare agent and banned its use in war shortly after World War I."
	9:32am Really. Lisa.: Hi Trouble and all. <trying not to be depressed and angry>
	♥ 9:33am Irene Trudel: Rev. Rabbit, I'm totally with you. Get rid of them. VOTE!!! (And Happy Birthday in advance.)
	9:33am Mary from Lisbon: Hi Trouble and all
	9:33am Mary from Lisbon: Hi Really Lisa, im failing at trying those things but tomorrow might be a better day
	9:36am Really. Lisa.: Hi Mary, same, pushing through, and will try again tomorrow.
	♥ 9:37am Roberto: Whatever you're doing now, just make dang sure you vote in the November general. It's the only way to end this meshugas.
	♥ 9:38am TDK60: Added to voting, we gotta organize. And help people get to polls just like in civil rights days of the '60s. And learn about and oppose voter suppression. (Greg Palast one reporter who covers vote suppression.)
	♥ 9:38am βrian: "Vee had better make DAMN SURE ..."
	♥ 9:39am pantz: This is beautiful
	♥ 9:40am PaulRobeson1920: Look inward. So within, so without.... also if we are looking, look at the “1955 Bandung Peace Conference.” Those “Ten Principals” point a good way
	♥ 9:40am Pale Son: Voting is crucial, but like 49% of white Americans still think Trump is doing a good job. What the hell is going on down there, I feel like I'll never understand it.
	♥ 9:43am Webhamster Henry: This would be a good community to bring up the recently formed group, centered at interspecies.io . "The Interspecies I/O’s mission is to encourage, explore and facilitate interfaces for interspecies communication and approaches for deciphering the communication of non-human animals. With the aim to positively impact species conservation, welfare, empathy, compassion, enrichment, sustainability, and understanding, it brings together a multidisciplinary group drawn from the sciences, arts and humanities in a rich collaborative forum, to advance the understanding and appreciation of the mental lives and intelligence of the diverse species with which we share our planet."
	♥ 9:43am pantz: If we want to see a landslide victory for Dems across the board, it really comes down to young people. Most are disillusioned with the system, and I don't blame them. Someone in their 20's remembers growing up with Dick Cheney as Commander in Chief.
	♥ 9:44am Webhamster Henry: @TDK60 If you read (and believe) the rather believable Palast, it's been a really long time since we've had a credibly fair national election.
	♥ 9:45am SecretSquirrel: This so good!! The world needs more Yusef Lateef.
	♥ 9:46am Pale Son: But, like, problems with the electoral college and strategies aside, what is actually wrong with people's brains? How can so many people actually think all this is perfectly fine?
	♥ 9:47am Trouble: a word of advice from your musician: thevinylfactory.com...
	9:47am RabidRabbit: They are in Fox News reality, is my take :)
	♥ 9:48am pantz: Fear and lack of critical thinking skills. Those folk want a strong, dictatorial father-figure to tell them what to do, so they don't have to think about stuff or other people.
	♥ 9:49am Roberto: Agreed. There was all kinds of crappola that stole the election in 2016 but the fact remains, enough people were blind, stupid, greedy, or evil enough to think Prez tRump was a good idea.
	♥ 9:49am Lixiviated Life: ok, i'm ready for trouble
	♥ 9:49am TDK60: Yeah, Webhenry. Electoral College has to go too.
	9:50am Really. Lisa.: An acquaintance through work states, with utter disdain, "All of this is happening because of the hate for trump." How's that for a twist?! And it's personal to her.. "all the dems" are the reason *she's forced to stay home.
	9:50am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: In a way it's simple. Demographics are changing - & there are fewer angry white affluent males all the time - & more of everybody else. Republicans know they can't win a fair & actually democratic election - so their strategies must be everything else. So we end up with their unwavering dedication to the Drumpf Cult. It is a sign of their weakness the more extreme they become. It's encouraging in a bitter way : see it for what it is. Billy Bragg has been commenting on new media, youth, & an expectation there will be Accountability. Take heart in this. But I always say the challenge for the Left is disunity. The Romans loved straight lines & the Celts lived spirals. The irony is that those who really live Freedom have a harder time with Organization & a United front.
	♥ 9:51am Adrian in London: Hey Trouble, on a lighter theme, I know you like the Elena Ferrante quartet, but have you seen the TV adaptation? (I think it's on HBO in the US) I avoided it because I often don't like film and TV versions of books I like ("That actress is NOT [name of character" etc] but my wife wanted to watch the series and I gave it a go and it is utterly wonderful. One of the best things I've seen in ages. Going to start season 2 in a little while.
	♥ 9:52am Pale Son: I'm in the middle of Season 2, Adrian, and I think you'll like it at least as much as Season 1. Great adaptation, I agree!
	♥ 9:52am Trouble: remember: lots of people don't vote: not just young people. so some of those idiots who have continued belief in drump, also don't vote. we need to vote and encourage everyone we know to vote
	♥ 9:53am Irene Trudel: Thanks for the Yoshio link, Trouble!
	9:54am RabidRabbit: @RevRabbit: 100% agree (as one rabbit to another :P). We must never lose the sight of the main goal :)!
	♥ 9:54am TDK60: Swell selections, DJ T.
	♥ 9:54am zopa: Words to live by: "Let the retribution match the contribution."
	♥ 9:55am Trouble: wow@adrian. good to hear. i have a hard time with books i love, since the story is so vivid in my head. but i will keep it in mind... right now i need to re-watch derry girls because it is so damn funny and insane.
	♥ 9:55am Trouble: good morning irene!
	♥ 9:56am Webhamster Henry: What a set here, Trouble!
	♥ 9:56am Andrea: yes- retribution=contribution
	♥ 9:56am common: @Trouble: derry girls! so good.
	9:58am RabidRabbit: Love the name of that Adam Oko song, hehe :)
	9:58am dug: to Revolution Rabbit Nov63 the darkest yet promising tidbit I've heard is that come november there will not be a Trump supporter who doesn't know someone who died from Covid. we only need a small percentage of them to wake up and get pissed off for him to lose
	♥ 9:58am Handy Haversack: Derry Girls is fantastic! Trouble, we published a book of collaborative criticism on the Ferrante books. If I was actually at the office, I would grab a copy and bang it in the post to you right now! Gah.
	♥ 9:59am Trouble: have you all responded to the census? 2020census.gov...
	♥ 9:59am TDK60: Revrab - Do you have a link to Billy Bragg commentary? I don't see it after looking...
	♥ 10:00am Adrian in London: @Pale Son If you can get the Blu-Ray/DVD of S01 there's a great making-of featurette, tracking the two leads, plus showing how they built the whole area where it was filmed. Normally those extras are meh but this was great.
	♥ 10:01am Trouble: that sounds great@handy! i didn't read a lot of the criticism, and i am sure there is a lot of it.
	♥ 10:02am Pale Son: Wow, that sounds great, Adrian! The casting is so good, and that town feels so stifling. Would love to see that.
	♥ 10:03am Trouble: this might sound familiar to some of you...
	♥ 10:06am Roberto: You mean to some of us who are/were in the worst band in the world? I might qualify.
	♥ 10:07am oshiwoshi: be careful with that 10cc stuff - i stupidly played I'm Mandy fly me last week and earworm has taken permanent residence in my bonce
	10:08am newbirdwatcher: what's that in the background? :)
	♥ 10:08am David (in London): oshiwoshi, that's one of my all-time favourites. "...just like that girl in Dr No, no, no, no, no...."
	10:09am volunteerKelly: my dog is loving these bird sounds! she is sitting in front of the radio with her ears perked up. Love your show, Trouble!
	♥ 10:11am oshiwoshi: David - you triggered it again... Just like a rolling stone, I'm outside looking in... GAH! ;)
	♥ 10:12am Roberto: Folks wring their hands about "what we gonna do when tRump won't leave?" Well, only one way to find out!
	10:13am Tofu Kills People: "We need serious change." Yes, just probably not the way you think.
	♥ 10:14am Roberto: Tofu kills people? Then I'm already dead.
	10:15am Bill W: It doesn't end with voting. Democrats are never going to defund police unless they are forced to.
	♥ 10:16am Trouble: we are working on that one @bill w
	10:16am RabidRabbit: If tofu kills people, we need to call in the Tofoo Fighters! :P
	♥ 10:16am jt: Yes to the census: They don't gather any vital information actually it's more of just a 'head-count ' really, and it determines how congressional districts get drawn .. and the NUMBER of representatives each state gets depends on population. There are at least 13 congressional districts in and around NYC alone whereas all of the state of Ohio just have nine? Okay, my number might be skewed a bit you get the idea..
	♥ 10:16am Roberto: I'm going out to buy some right now. Later!
	♥ 10:19am WO Town Wick: Like the Elliott Smith vibe from that papercuts
	♥ 10:19am PaulRobeson1920: Change the warrior mentality, by amending or defunding outdated and unjust law- that is- Cruel Nixon era Public Policy. lawenforcementactionpartnership.org... we can be pragmatic
	10:20am RabidRabbit: From an Australian perspective, you guys really need two things: a) compulsory voting and b)a proportionate voting system Or whatever you call that second one. Basically, in Australia, when you vote for a minor party and they don't get a seat in Parliament, your vote goes to whoever the party preferences. So I can vote for the Greens, knowing that they probably won't win, but my vote will still end up going to Labor (the main Left party) and won't be wasted. But it still keep Labor on their toes, knowing that people are voting Green and therefore, wanting them to move further left :)
	♥ 10:20am jt: Also reason to fill out the census: Conservatives hate the census and try to suppress the numbers, so they can reduce/re-draw the voting districts in order to disadvantage the already disadvantaged..
	♥ 10:21am TDK60: Recall, JFK & LBJ didn't get all cushy with civil rights merely due to people voting. there was more: movement in the streets.
	10:22am dug: awesome sauce loving this track :-D
	10:24am dug: @RabidRabbit yes. compulsory voting. years ago a friend from brazil was like how is that not a thing in america? you get fined if you dont vote. and, yes... i know brazil is in a weird spot right now with their democracy.
	♥ 10:24am WoodsOfNH: @RR The second thing is called ranked-choice voting here. Conservatives seem to hate it.
	10:24am Tofu Kills People: Rabbit, we don't need that. If someone has to force you to vote, chances are your vote won't be an informed one.
	♥ 10:25am Handy Haversack: Woods! How was your break?
	10:27am RabidRabbit: @Tofu There's definitely a bit of that :) But I think that you are still less likely to vote for someone extreme. I really doubt someone like Trump could win here. In the US, if 20% of the people love you, given that less than half of the people vote, you have a good chance. In Australia, if 20% of the people love you, most likely 80% hate you. So much harder to win :)
	♥ 10:27am WoodsOfNH: @Handy I'm still breakin'! Pretty good. First week was with kids and grandkidz. Had fun ripping down our two ugly aluminum garage doors and building fancy wooden ones. There was much afternoon cocktailing and lobster boils. Since then I've been reading, listening to music, and staring off into space. A proper time-out.
	♥ 10:27am βrian: We absolutely do need required voting. That will push more people to at least consider who they're voting for, rather than simply yielding the choice.
	10:27am RabidRabbit: @Woods Hehe, no wonder. They know that people will then be able to vote for someone other than the two major parties:)
	♥ 10:27am Pale Son: @RabidRabbit But half the people love him, so proportional representation might not even make that big a difference.
	♥ 10:28am gilmour: many of us do vote, even though we are disenfranchised by the electoral college
	10:28am RabidRabbit: @PaleSon Possibly. Isn't that half of the people who voted, though, not actually half the people?:)
	10:29am RabidRabbit: This track slaps! Love it:)
	♥ 10:29am Jeff Golick: Hello. That Bobby Oroza track was so sweet. In re @Pale Son's question about people's brains, I found this twitter thread to be enlightening (scary, also; not great bedtime reading): twitter.com...
	♥ 10:29am Pale Son: @RR No, unfortunately.
	♥ 10:29am gilmour: i'd rather be a condor than a nail
	10:29am Tofu Kills People: Rabbit, perhaps. Still, we're a free country (ostensibly, anyway).
	10:29am RabidRabbit: @PaleSon sweating emoji
	♥ 10:30am Tome: thinking of that movie now ,,, <> get's me all vaclempt <>
	10:30am RabidRabbit: Actually, the third thing you need is that all elections must be on the weekend so that everyone actually has the opportunity to go and vote:)
	♥ 10:30am Trouble: i don't know where you are getting these 50% like drump numbers... older polls? as of March; 15% approve of him as president, 30% have mixed feelings per USA today poll
	♥ 10:31am David (in London): Yma Sumac was the Diamanda Galas of her day.
	♥ 10:31am WoodsOfNH: The problem here (and I suspect mostly elsewhere) is the whole "perception is reality" problem. Supporters will see that ad showing people attaching the police and believe this is what's going on. No matter that the ad used photos taking during a Ukraine protest. It's so ugly.
	♥ 10:31am PaulRobeson1920: A clear vision is helpful. Listen to and read, or watch and listen to Kennedy’s June 10th, 1963, commencement address he gave to the graduating seniors of American University. A speech for all men and women. On “this small planet”
	♥ 10:31am Tome: Hi Trouble <>< ,, shoot can't get 91% Isoproply no where ,, on my last like 200mL <>
	10:31am dug: @WoodsOfNH: ranked choice voting would be a game changer
	♥ 10:32am Pale Son: projects.fivethirtyeight.com... I mean, it's less than half, to be fair, but close enough to be terrifying, given how horrible he is.
	♥ 10:32am βrian: Of course, many Americans work on weekends, too. But there does need to be a national holiday (you know, the kind with time off) for election days.
	10:32am dug: i could vote: bernie warren biden
	♥ 10:32am Handy Haversack: Woods, sounds idyllic. I wish you joy and continued well-blended quarantinis.
	♥ 10:33am gilmour: i wonder who will be biden's veep pick; i'm still rooting for warren but she may not be the most strategic (think of the brain)
	♥ 10:33am Pale Son: Looks interesting, Jeff, thanks!
	♥ 10:34am βrian: @gilmour: I'm with you there.
	♥ 10:35am PaulRobeson1920: @woods “The Medium is the Message.” The moving image is powerful... The types of thinking fostered by the written word are different than the types of thinking fostered by the T.V / moving image.
	10:35am dug: @gilmour i read an interesting op ed in the NYT (i think it was there) about how the best thing is give warren the sec of the treasury.
	♥ 10:35am Pale Son: And I forget where the 49% white approval number came from, but I just saw it yesterday. Will try to find.
	♥ 10:36am Trouble: oooo: white approval, i see
	♥ 10:36am WoodsOfNH: @Handy And just for fun here's the before/after on the garage. It was hot & sweaty work but we're SO happy with it. Before: imgur.com... After: imgur.com...
	♥ 10:36am βrian: Just got back from a walk. It's quite a creamy day. Very humid but only 66°F.

	♥ 10:38am βrian: Ach, my stream jumped to Bjork. I knew that couldn't be right.
	♥ 10:41am WoodsOfNH: Was happy to see the poll that said only 1 in 10 favor full reopening of the schools. It felt like there was such widespread support for it and I just couldn't see why. Turns out it was the loud people getting the attention.
	♥ 10:42am Trouble: true@brian. i want to like bjork. i find her creativity fantastic and inspiring, just don't appreciate her voice. my bad
	♥ 10:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and friends. I found some bird-related music on the band camp, but it seems to be sold out. shikashika.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 10:43am TDK60: Woods, if what you say is so, and I figure it is, we gotta turn the amp up to 11, eh?
	10:43am RabidRabbit: I will tell you something even more bizarre. My cousin in law is Malaysian-Chinese and I also have another guy I know from school who is Russian Jewish. They are both massive Trump fans and fans of people like Laura Ingraham. The amazing thing (as someone messaged me after one of the FB arguments) is that they both would be actually excluded from a society they are trying to create. Now, this I definitely have trouble understanding. It's like a total doublethink and divorce from reality...
	♥ 10:43am Trouble: that is what i am playing @ken from hyde park. digital is still available?
	♥ 10:43am PaulRobeson1920: To quote Jim Morrison (who, today, would be 77 Years of age and the same age as Joe Biden) “...no one here, gets out alive, now...” Voting has a rightful and good place here in America and IS necessary - but Remember we are all sharing this human experience on our “small planet”
	♥ 10:43am Handy Haversack: Nice work, Woods! What I wouldn't give to be in Maine right about now.
	♥ 10:43am WoodsOfNH: @TDK60 Yes!
	10:44am Tofu Kills People: @Rabbit, why would your friends be excluded?
	♥ 10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: Oh, cool. Digital seems to be available. Just physical media being sold out.
	♥ 10:45am pantz: In related school news: Sen Rick Scott of FLA wants strongly for schools to open in the fall, but says his grandchildren will not be attending. Says his daughters are going to focus on the health of their children. If that ain't an example of GOP hypocrisy, I don't know what is.
	♥ 10:46am βrian: Camille, on the other hand ...
	♥ 10:46am Pale Son: @Rabbit Everyone but billionaires suffers under Trumps program, even white working class folks, who should be, e.g., enjoying universal health care. The trick is to make people believe they want what's worse for them because if they get what they want someone undeserving will take it away.
	10:47am RabidRabbit: @Tofu If what they want came to pass, you would literally only be accepted in Australia if you were white..it would be like going to the 60s and the White Australia policy, when even Southern Europeans were discriminated against :(
	10:47am RabidRabbit: @PaleSon Very true...

	10:48am The Butterman: Woods of NH? Did you go to school in RI?
	♥ 10:48am TDK60: Great early UB40 track.
	♥ 10:48am WO Town Wick: I think compulsory voting sounds nice but it is a legal non-starter now. Maybe start seeding public ground now and in 50 years it could survive a court challenge. @RapidRabbit, almost everyone I know from Russia supports Republicans down the line. Not sure I get it either, maybe they just buy the line that Dems want communism.
	10:49am RabidRabbit: Unfortunately, have to go to bed as it's pushing 1 am over here. Really appreciate the chat and the music, though:) Thank you to everyone and to Trouble:) Stay safe and strong...hope to be here next time :)
	♥ 10:50am Jeff Golick: So good. Totally forgot about this record.
	♥ 10:50am WoodsOfNH: @The Butterman No, first CT then Maine.
	10:50am RabidRabbit: @WO Ahaha, yes, unfortunately, a lot of people from Russia rejected all Left policies, without realising they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. My parents are also like that, hehe:)
	♥ 10:50am βrian: In Madison, some pre-K schools are setting up K-2 programs to physically host kids with a teacher, in order to follow the school district's virtual program. The district schools themselves are definitely staying closed.
	♥ 10:50am gilmour: i've started a new strategy of going on the digital book waiting list for lots of books that is see on the New Yorker's briefly noted page. (not every week, because I can't read 4 books a week) Read some good ones lately a biography of Carson McCullers by Jenn Shapland and now i'm in the middle of a fiction by Lydia Millet: "A Children's Bible" about a multi-family summer house rental (no spoilers I'm in the middle of it)
	♥ 10:51am gilmour: (waiting list at my library i mean)
	♥ 10:54am gilmour: the library app (Libby) lets you give up your spot and specify the number of days to wait, and then it comes up again after that. so as long as i keep it up, i'll always have something good to read

	♥ 10:55am Trouble: that sounds like a good strategy @gilmour!
	♥ 10:56am gilmour: i also put all of your recommendations on my holds list, of course, Trouble :)
	♥ 10:57am Handy Haversack: Can't believe I have to leave, but I have a meeting. An important one, but still. Thank you, Trouble. Really needed this today. Be well, all.
	♥ 10:57am tim from champaign (now washington): A few months ago I finally read Marlon James' A History of Seven Killings based on high recommendations from the peanut gallery on Trouble's show. I really enjoyed it. As a bonus, Marlon James really knows music. Usually music references in fiction tend to be cringe worthy but he nailed it.
	10:58am Mike tp: sensational selections Trouble.1050. 1100 am
	♥ 10:58am Trouble: i am honored @gilmour!
	♥ 10:59am gilmour: dang brooklyn library dosn't have the Rhys.. (and grand union is available now, but i'm not ready for it -- so a small bug in my algorithm)
	♥ 11:00am Trouble: yes @tim from champaign; great book! i met him at brooklyn book fest and asked him to come out and guest dj. don't think that's going to happen...
	11:01am deborah: Listening. Of course, I will vote and ask everyone I know and can reach to Vote Blue! We can't tell students for whom to vote, though. Most, if they are allowed to vote, will vote Blue....Didn't know there is a Yusef Lateef anthology!
	♥ 11:01am WoodsOfNH: I'm at the delicious point where I just finished a book (Padma Laksmi's memoir...holy smokes, the crap she went through!) and have to pick the next. So it's either: Flutter Echo by David Toop or A Girl's Story by Annie Ernaux (another New Yorker recommendation)
	♥ 11:01am Trouble: grand union is s series of short stories, so you could mix it in with other reading...@gilmour
	♥ 11:01am oshiwoshi: ooh I'm getting that Ozo Kites feeling
	♥ 11:03am gilmour: ok i got it. i probably have time to read both before they are due... it's good to have goals haha
	11:04am deborah: Correction: Of course, there are anthologies. What was I thinking!
	♥ 11:04am tim from champaign (now washington): Oh wow, Trouble! That would be so cool.
	11:04am The Butterman: Woods, oh I thought I recognized your name from college …never mind!’
	♥ 11:04am Trouble: today's show is named after one of zadie smith's stories: www.newyorker.com...
	♥ 11:06am gilmour: "The Lazy River is a non-judgment zone."
	♥ 11:07am Trouble: @time from champagn: i thought so too, but maybe marlon doesn't want obe pegged as a dj...hah
	♥ 11:07am Trouble: i adore that story @gilmour, she is soooo smart and sassy
	11:08am sphere: hullo
	♥ 11:08am Trouble: there was another brilliant story from the new yorker by zadie about people putting up weird signs in the windows of their tall apt buildings. did you read that? @gilmour
	♥ 11:09am gilmour: i've been reading a lot of female writers lately; got a lot of catching up to do
	♥ 11:09am tim from champaign (now washington): Other books I've read recently are Clarice Lispector - Agua Viva (I loved it!), Joan Didion - Year of Magical Thinking, Lester Bangs - Psychotic Reactions. I'm currently reading Sam McPheeters - Mutations.
	♥ 11:09am Trouble: thanks @sphere for the bird record heads up!
	♥ 11:09am Little Danny: Hi Trouble 'n' all
	11:09am sphere: you're welcome trouble! :)
	♥ 11:09am Trouble: clarice lispector is out there, very surreal
	♥ 11:10am gilmour: i don't often read the fiction there; only if it grabs me right away. unfair perhaps. i don't recall the weird signs in windows.
	11:10am Dave from Brooklyn: Trouble for racists:John Lewis
	♥ 11:10am tim from champaign (now washington): @Trouble - Ha! what the heck?!? Who wouldn't want to be pegged as a DJ? I'd gladly have that reputation.
	♥ 11:10am PaulRobeson1920: “Red car take me away Way away to a better day Wouldn't take more than a set of keys, To set my heart and my mind at ease”
	♥ 11:13am spodiodi: hi Trouble, crew, and listeners
	♥ 11:16am YETI BOB: Oh man "Yesterday's New Quintet" is hitting the spot. Never heard this before. What a great sound, and what a great name for a group.
	♥ 11:16am PaulRobeson1920: Intro to “terra batida” sounded almost like “Handsome Johnny” performed by Richie Havens at Woodstock
	♥ 11:18am YETI BOB: been digging the whole show... but this one is so groovy
	11:21am Mary from Lisbon: great show
	11:21am musthavethosebirdsounds: thanks for your beautiful music! :)
	11:21am Mary from Lisbon: Cabeça means Head
	11:21am Mary from Lisbon: Amarelo means yellow
	11:21am musthavethosebirdsounds: loco in the cabeza
	♥ 11:22am Roberto: Lol for some people, "head" might as well be "rocks."
	♥ 11:22am PaulRobeson1920: Takes practice to Rollll those rrrrs
	11:22am Itzall Hear: Yma Sumac, ne; "Amy Camus"... such a sweet lady, rest in peace.
	♥ 11:22am jt: What is that French guy saying in the 'bed -music"? Anyone know?
	♥ 11:23am βrian: He's talking about the birds and their behavior.
	♥ 11:24am Andrea: love clubs.
	♥ 11:26am PaulRobeson1920: Thanks Trouble
	♥ 11:26am YETI BOB: I had Elotes Fries the other day. (Grilled corn and cheezy sauce and lime dumped on top of French Fries... not bad!)
	♥ 11:27am Adrian in London: @Trouble This week I went to a restaurant for the first time since March. We didn't;t have to do the washing up afterwards. It was incredible.
	11:27am Dave from Brooklyn: Moms of Portland rule
	♥ 11:27am Carmichael: So do daughters, as in mine.
	11:27am Reno D: Yma was kinda crazy, not so sweet. Died owing me money.
	♥ 11:27am PaulRobeson1920: We are more similar the world over than dissimilar
	♥ 11:28am Trouble: thanks for the radio love, y'all!
	♥ 11:28am David (in London): Adrian, I went to the pub for the first time on Tuesday. A bit of a palaver, but it was glorious to sit and have a pint. Where did you go?
	♥ 11:28am YETI BOB: @Itzall: It's funny that Yma Sumac spelled backward is Amy Camus ... but Sumac was her real name. According to her obituary in the NYT: "The largest and most persistent fabrication about Ms. Sumac was that she was actually a housewife from Brooklyn named Amy Camus, her name spelled backward. The fact is that the government of Peru in 1946 formally supported her claim to be descended from Atahualpa, the last Incan emperor."
	♥ 11:29am Adrian in London: @David To Padella by Borough Market. Got there before noon, zapped a QR code and went straight in. It was so good.
	♥ 11:30am βrian: Where's our granny today? (Spicy Tuna)
	♥ 11:33am βrian: I can't imagine going to a restaurant. We did takeout once, but even that seemed fraught.
	11:33am Itzall Hear: Hi Yeti Bob, I know, and of course you're right...I just think it's kind of funny, though false. I had the great fortune to spend some time with her years ago at a performance she gave during "The Hukilau" event in Fort Lauderdale, FL...didn't have the nerve, or was just too star struck to ask but I always thought it was a funny bit of an (obscure) "urban legend" about her. Anyone who met her could confirm that the story was a complete hoax!
	♥ 11:36am David (in London): Adrian, that sounds fantastic. I think I might try something similar in the coming week. Borough Market was a good shout.
	♥ 11:38am Adrian in London: I've been working from home since March but when I'm in the office it's just nearby, near Flat Iron Square, so I know the area really well, and have missed it. Which part of town do you live/work in?
	11:38am Jeezuseffinchrist: I looooove helado negro, never heard this version of 2 dia before!
	11:39am Sonny: Trouble are you serious callibg the RIOTS in portland peaceful?? Theu are Marxists thugs destroyong and have no purpose... Nothing worse than afucking clueless socialist like you ..Bet you think BLM is an organization for good?? Wow stupid clueless liberals
	11:39am Dave from Brooklyn: Portand mons rule Drumpf's thugs ain't cool
	11:39am Reno D: I visited Yma in LA in ‘86 and later created a set for her at NYC’s The Ballroom. She was handful. Her great joy was that the chef at The Ballroom at the time was also Peruvian. And she could eat!
	♥ 11:40am Trouble: the constant making of food is a bit tiresome. Many days there are three of us here so lunch can't be just pb & j sandwiches, plus we have to use up a the veggies bought a the farmers mrkt. task usually goes to me and it sucks up a lot of time out of my day: 3 meals. sigh. dj icepack is on clean up duty, unless he is cooking.
	11:41am Reno D: One happy moment for me was introducing B52 Kate Pierson to her idol, Yma!
	11:42am Dave from Brooklyn: Portland moms have heart Fascist thugs got none!
	11:42am Mini Glistener James: So good!
	11:43am Ben Trovato: Sonny, I'm sure there are very fine people on both sides. Doesn't sound so good now, does it?
	♥ 11:43am tim from champaign (now washington): I love this Wee record!
	11:43am rw: What was that sample? It sounded so familiar!
	11:43am Listener Bop Monroe: let them eat bleach.
	♥ 11:44am pantz: I'd like a wee dram and listen to this Wee record.
	11:44am Jeezuseffinchrist: I coulda sworn this was 3T for a minute lol
	11:44am David in London: Adrian, I live in Hackney, but worked for years in More London, so Borough Market was a regular lunch destination. And after work drinks in the Market Porter naturally...
	11:44am Michal: Columbus soul situation.
	11:45am Listener Bop Monroe: greetings from Tannersville all. great show this morning Ms. T.
	11:45am sphere: did they sample Cypress Hill? or did they sample a sample that Cypress Hill sampled?
	♥ 11:46am PaulRobeson1920: @Sonny Can you define what it means to be Liberal in America? Realize that RFK is a Liberal... RFK is somebody, his memory is more than a big bridge
	♥ 11:47am Adrian in London: @David I'm a couple of stops south of Croydon (so basically France…) so have so fewer good places to eat and drink, but we do have trees… Can you see Earth opening again any time soon? Not sure how a few hundred people will be able to socially distance while leaving via that narrow staircase.
	11:47am Listener Bop Monroe: 'obscurred by clouds' is calling, they want their settings back.
	11:47am sphere: @ Sonny - actually, Portland is quite OK, except for the times when federal troops break up peaceful protests. you've got to stop watching right-wing images cause they are playing with your mind.
	11:48am Dave from Brooklyn: Phreespeech!
	11:50am Robert Potenza: If I wanted a political views I'd put on the news as a veteran you offended me.if it wornt for people like me u could spu your communist discust for this country youed rather stick up for blm nazies and anarchists
	11:51am Davido: Really loving this set right now, @Trouble! Thanks for piloting us all through our mornings
	♥ 11:51am Trouble: since when is dissent communisism? i have great respect for veterans but they have nothing to do with Portland's demonstrations
	11:51am David in London: Adrian, oh man, contemplating questions like that gives me the chills. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that the damage isn’t too extensive. There are some great venues around at the moment, and I hope that as many as possible can stumble out of the wreckage of 2020 more or less intact. Do you go to EartH much? That must be a demanding journey home.
	♥ 11:51am Trouble: thanks@davido!
	♥ 11:52am TDK60: Thanks for yet another fine show, Trouble. Freedom!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: For anyone making a claim to Patriotism & Order - may I humbly suggest the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United Staes of America is the First for a reason. & that it guarantees not only Free Speech in this great nation ...& which friend is not the same as a right to present insult & vitriol to a host in their own privately owned forum - but also to present grievance to the Government specifically - & the Right to public assembly & protest. The Portland Moms are there to protect their children who are there to protect Rights of people of color - including even the Right to breath despite extrajudicial Police murder - & they chant there's no riot here - take off your riot gear. It's a message Sir we might all benefit from considering in our interactions.
	♥ 11:54am Andrea: Thank you for your show, Trouble, and standing up for people trying to make this country better. Stand strong for dignity of all.
	♥ 11:55am Adrian in London: @David Yeah, I really like Earth. It's not too bad home, maybe an hour. Train to High and I, Victoria line to Victoria and then a train to East Croydon then drive home. Maybe an hour on a good night with the connections lined up.
	♥ 11:55am gilmour: thanks, trouble -- wonderful to listen
	♥ 11:55am Trouble: thanks for sitting in and listening this morning!
	♥ 11:56am Adrian in London: Thanks Trouble. I've enjoyed it tremendously.
	11:56am Ben Trovato: @Robert Potenza: no issue with veterans (my dad was decorated WW2, and I had a draft number in Vietnam era, but not called). First amendment gives us the right to free speech, and if this isn't a peaceful venue to share your opinions, what is? I'm not a communist, but it does seem that socialism works very well for American corporations when they line up for handouts during a pandemic, and get huge tax breaks at any time. But for the little guy, to hell with him, right? No healthcare, crumbling safety net...and worse.
	11:56am Mary from Lisbon: wonderful trouble
	♥ 11:56am oshiwoshi: thanks Trouble - will be revisiting on popup as soon as it's up
	♥ 11:58am Irene Trudel: Another gem today,Trouble!
	♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble, as we navigate the modern world. Nice work today, Matt Skeleton!
	♥ 11:59am PaulRobeson1920: I was labeled a Communist! Have no fear... Paul Robeson’s life is illustrative and worthy and calls for our attention... as does the founding document of BLM/Civil Rights the “Letter From The Birmingham Jail” April 1963
	11:59am Jeezuseffinchrist: Trouble can you provide a link?
	♥ 11:59am βrian: I see Matt has graduated from "Little Matty." He must be doing good work.
	♥ 12:00pm Trouble: helado negro's instagram page is under his name
	♥ 12:00pm PaulRobeson1920: We can go back Further and farther but there is only so many hours in the day
	12:00pm musthavethosebirdsounds: adios amigas y amigos
	12:01pm Reno D: Most thankful to Trouble and Matty for a nice morning.
	♥ 1:10pm Pale Son: Found the recent 49% white-support-for-Trump figure. Late, sorry, but thought I'd post it here for anyone happening to look back: www.nbcnews.com... He's also ahead among all men and way ahead among whites without college degrees.
	♥ 9:11am Handy Haversack: (Not sure if you'll see this, Trouble, but it seems like the playlist page for next week's show [7/30] won't load -- at least for me, on two machines and in two browsers, it just comes up blank.)
	♥ 9:32am David (in London): Handy, you are a visitor from the future!
