	♥ 9:07am Handy Haversack: Extreme cursing? My usual method.
	9:08am northguineahills: moar mbira/kalimba (nice pickup, experimented w/ pickups on mbiras)
	♥ 9:08am Crudbringer: ! it is rude to use upper case while this track is playing
	♥ 9:09am common: trouble, all.
	9:10am northguineahills: @Handy: I was in my 20s, and going skiing w/ friends upstate, and there was something herbal (we somehow got on the Jersey side, as the traffic was less then the NYC side)
	9:11am yeti bob: happy lower case morning crudbringer
	9:11am northguineahills: ee cummings approves....
	♥ 9:12am Trouble: I just read that thursday is named after THOR the norse god of thunder. something i am sure they taught me in grade school but who can remember yesterday never mind third grade
	9:13am YETI BOB: @Trouble: In Germany they call it "Donnerstag" which literally means "Thunder Day"
	9:13am Slaboch: This sounds fantastic!
	9:14am dougseidel: And that map is great!
	♥ 9:14am Crudbringer: hello yeti, hello handy. hello ngh and trouble. i am sorry i have been away, trying to squeeze the last peach juice from summer. but now comes the bitter wind & winter. and i shall hide inside.
	♥ 9:15am Daybreak and the Hybrid Life: Groovy Chimes... & map!
	9:15am Dances with Moomins: Good Morning Dj Trouble on-the-Jersey-side, and Moderns the world over.
	9:15am YETI BOB: Saturday is for Saturn, Sunday is for the Sun, Monday is the moon, Wednesday is Woden, Friday is for Freya. But the really weird one is Tuesday.
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: Crudbringer, good to see you!
	9:16am Dances with Moomins: Thursday is for Trouble
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: Not a Tyr fan, YB?
	9:18am yeti bob: HH: Not that I'm not a fan. Just - who ever heard of that god? And in German it's Dienstag, “Day of Thingsus”). Thingsus is the attested Latin name of a Germanic god who may or may not be the same as Tiw (Tyr).
	♥ 9:18am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modernaires! Sound bath followed by tea + honey.
	9:18am yeti bob: Thingsus? I don't know, I think the etymolgists are just having a bit of fun. "Praise Thingsus!"
	9:18am northguineahills: Monday=Moonday, Tuesday = Tyi's day (anglos saxon god of war, like mars), Wednesday = (woden/oden's day, norse), Thursday = Thors day (obvious), Friday = Frigg (germanic goddess of fertility, Saturday = Saturn's day (Roman), Sunday = (obvious). This has been your etymological daily broadcast.
	♥ 9:18am pantz: Freitag, I'm in love!
	9:18am VT Knit Girl: Good Morning Trouble!
	9:20am Dances with Moomins: Torstai here in Suomi land. It means: we eat green pea soup ...and you think I'm kidding you....
	9:20am yeti bob: ngh: Isn't it sort of amazing and weird that we have 4 Norse gods/goddesses lurking in our daily calendar?
	9:20am SHAGALOV: GOOOOD MORNING TROUBLE ✧
	♥ 9:20am Crudbringer: nice pencil sharpener, VT to the K. G.
	9:21am northguineahills: 'tis it is, but no more weird then Roman ones. (the Norse have a huge influence on English culture)
	9:21am northguineahills: pantz just made me lultz!
	♥ 9:22am Trouble: dobroye utro@shagalov!
	♥ 9:22am p/b: my cat is now levitating - again
	9:22am northguineahills: @Dances w/ Moomins: when is reindeer meat day?
	9:23am yeti bob: @ngh: I think the Greek/Roman contributions to our culture are more acknowledged. At least in my growing up, we were taught about Rome and Greece and their cultures and gods, but not much about the Vikings other than that they were "marauders".
	9:23am Dances with Moomins: Hi NGHills, every other day now....it's moose season.
	♥ 9:24am Webhamster Henry: Liner notes for "A Space For Sound" : www.aspaceforsound.com...
	♥ 9:24am Threemoons: Good morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers. Getting a tardy starty today.
	9:24am m()7s: Such a great track to begin today
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: Just found out my dr. appt. is over the phone! So I don't have to leave in a few minutes after all!
	9:25am northguineahills: isn't moose in Europe what we call elk in North America? I could be wrong.
	9:25am Listener Gregory: Mbira mborning, everyone. Great opening, Trouble!
	♥ 9:26am Webhamster Henry: Tank drums are tongue drums often cut from propane tanks.
	♥ 9:26am Crudbringer: ngh yes there is vocabulary confusion around the larger wild ungulates.
	9:27am northguineahills: @Yeti: Norse cultural and linguistic influence can be found in Yorkshire, and Scotland (especially the Shetlands and the Orkneys....)
	9:27am YETI BOB: @ngh: Oh absolutely. I'm speaking from a USA perspective.
	9:28am northguineahills: I think Listener Gregory has a good start of a pop song.....
	♥ 9:28am melinda: @ngh I recently watched a video of a woman speaking Shetlandic and it reminded me of Bjork
	♥ 9:28am Handy Haversack: Oh rocks, Crudbringer!
	9:29am YETI BOB: @HH: I wonder if they could do my colonoscopy over the phone...
	♥ 9:29am Handy Haversack: ("Aurochs"? "What's his name when he's at home?" Not sure if that one landed.)
	9:30am northguineahills: curious, Melinda. I watch a lot of the beeb, but once there was a doc on fisherman north of Aberdeen, and I couldn't parse what they were saying (they even had subtitles on the beeb_.
	9:31am northguineahills: @Handy: needs more of a bovine rock reference ;p)
	♥ 9:31am Crudbringer: HH "something something qiviut". dangit. pun power is not happening for me today yet.
	♥ 9:31am Handy Haversack: Maybe with a rotary, YB. Hey-oh!
	9:32am Dances with Moomins: @N.G. hills Moose here are like N. American moose.. We don't see elk, only reindeer...which are in the same family, I think. Mooses are not smart and should be avoided when found on or near a road, they charge cars ! YIKES!
	♥ 9:32am karlward: Rena Anakwe (A Space for Sound) on Radio Ravioli: wfmu.org...
	9:33am northguineahills: Moose in NA will detroy you. And that's not taking in encounters while driving...
	♥ 9:33am Mx. Granny (e/em): Greetings from the gloaming of San Francisco, Trouble and WFMU palz!
	♥ 9:33am karlward: Rena was my classmate in art school! I am continually humbled by the greatness of my classmates.
	♥ 9:34am pantz: One of my favorite Monty Python sketches is Graham Chapman as Oscar Wilde.
	♥ 9:36am Mx. Granny (e/em): The title is from Janet Frame, i wonder what the connection is…
	9:37am thedunkel: Good Morning Trouble! Good morning all!
	9:38am spodiodi: Good morning!
	♥ 9:39am Trouble: @mx. granny: i do wonder if there is a connection to janet frame or the excellent movie about her life by the excellent jane campion
	♥ 9:39am Handy Haversack: Hey there, Mx. Granny!
	9:39am yeti bob: So many great Oscar Wilde quotes it's hard to pick one. But my favorite has to be : "Only the shallow know themselves." -Oscar Wilde
	♥ 9:40am Mx. Granny (e/em): Trouble: the song seems to have come out afyer Frame's memoir but before the film. Hey, Handy!!!
	♥ 9:41am Mx. Granny (e/em): yay, Todd!
	♥ 9:42am Priscilla: Todd!
	♥ 9:42am Mx. Granny (e/em): i had an almost transcendental moment singing this at (online) karaoke recently
	♥ 9:43am Mx. Granny (e/em): yeti bob: !!! i had missed that one somehow—good one!
	♥ 9:57am Handy Haversack: Oscar Wilde's grave in Père Lachaise in Paris is pretty awesome.
	♥ 9:59am joe mulligan: this Brussels w/Love comp is all hits
	9:59am Lixiviated Life: feeling like Trouble today
	9:59am βrian: Sunny but chilly here on the isthmus today. Good morning.
	♥ 10:02am Pale Son: That was some dreamy dub!
	♥ 10:02am PaulRobeson1920: Goood Day Sunshine!
	10:06am CeeDub: A moose is an Elk. An Elk is a Wapiti. An Älgtest is actually an Undanmanöverprov.
	♥ 10:07am Mx. Granny (e/em): one of my all time favorite movies!
	♥ 10:08am Mx. Granny (e/em): CeeDub: thanks!
	10:08am Listener Gregory: Happy International Credit Union Day, everyone! I'm sure Trouble has exactly the right song to celebrate the occasion.
	♥ 10:09am Crudbringer: there are raccoons in Germany, imported from the U. S. they are called Waschbär there because they are a little bär that washes they are not cleaning their food they are increasing their paw sensitivity
	♥ 10:10am Handy Haversack: pledge.wfmu.org...
	10:11am Listener Gregory: Correction: It's Princeton that had the problem with equal pay. Well, they're the one that agreed to do something about it; every US university has it.
	10:12am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: i like washbears…
	♥ 10:13am Yes: hello friends
	10:13am Dances with Moomins: @Crudbringer, in Finland it's pesukarhu or wash bear but we never see them. Not sure they are here. Trash Pandas down in Alabama they say
	♥ 10:15am Trouble: yes gregory, princeton did have a problem with equal pay, AND rutgers got hit with a law suit recently. It's in today's NY Times
	♥ 10:15am Handy Haversack: I am sure I could get someone to take the bet, but my great regret is that I have no idea how to collect on it: that 100,000 years or so from now give or take, raccoons will have achieved real space flight and gotten off this rock. Increasing paw sensitivity indeed!
	10:15am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: we could re-export some hedgehooks (igel) to the U.S. instead…
	10:16am Listener Gregory: Trouble, you are way ahead of me! I only saw the Princeton report last night.
	10:16am Mikula: Hi Trouble and all y'all. Thursday comes just in time.
	10:20am βrian: Rutgers is public, right? Aren't all salaries published?
	♥ 10:20am Handy Haversack: Whose idea was it to import (or, conversely, export) raccoons? Could it have been ... the raccoons'?!
	♥ 10:21am Trouble: yes @ brian, rutgers is one of the public universities of NJ
	10:22am βrian: You might ask the raccoons, but surely they'd say, "Hey, I wash my hands."
	10:23am Listener Gregory: Rutgers is public. In many state universities, the salaries are therefore public, but not sure about New Jersey. I don't think Rutgers will be as quick to settle as Princeton. State universities have not been on the cutting edge of equity issues in general. Everyone has a strong tendency to fall back on, "We follow all the regulations correctly" for almost any issue.
	♥ 10:25am Handy Haversack: βrian, keep watching the skies!
	♥ 10:25am Pale Son: Wanna knit you a sweater.
	♥ 10:28am pantz: Not too scratchy @Pale Son, please.
	10:30am otto: love sweater
	♥ 10:32am Barney Grubbs: rutgers salary data (as of 12/2019 from Asbury Park Press): content-static.app.com...
	♥ 10:33am Ken From Hyde Park: Bonjour, Jeudi!
	♥ 10:38am Trouble: HEAD COACH RUTGERS FOOTBALL makes over 2 million$$$ highest paid employee at rutgers. WTF. and yes i am yelling, thank you for asking. that kind if shit makes it easy to say no to the poor work study kids who call asking for alum donations
	♥ 10:41am Handy Haversack: Trouble: exact same feeling with U of Michigan, where Kate and I met while getting MFAs.
	♥ 10:42am Handy Haversack: (Is the playlist page acting odd for anyone else? As if the show were over, but the list is still updating? Playlist above rather than next to comments?)
	10:43am bobitey: @HH: yeah we got moved down here to the basement! I don't know why.
	10:44am Sylvia (France-NYC): yes, are we stuck in time?
	♥ 10:44am Webhamster Henry: Imagine if the theatre department were funded like the sports department.
	10:46am Listener Gregory: Blow, Roy Eldridge, blow! My playlist page just fixed itself. I thought it was just me.
	♥ 10:47am Trouble: i think i just fixed it? looking better now?
	♥ 10:47am Handy Haversack: We're back! I thought we were to be forever on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard." I mean, it's where I belong, I expect.
	♥ 10:47am Webhamster Henry: All fixed!
	10:49am Mikula: Oh, yea. Kate NV. Thanks for introducing me to her, Trouble.
	10:49am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and people of the Thursday! Just another Troubled Thursday! ;-)
	♥ 10:51am Trouble: bonjour peter! where are the art kiddies?
	10:55am Peter in SEA: @Trouble it is 7:53, tg classes don't begin until 9! First up 4th grade and Intro to Day of the Dead project! Viva Jose Guadalupe Posada!
	10:55am βrian: I never set foot inside the stadium at U of M. Never will.
	♥ 10:56am Trouble: ooops, sorry @peter i didn't think of time difference. Viva Mexico!
	♥ 10:56am Handy Haversack: βrian, waiting tables on football Saturdays is still one of the worst experiences of my life. And Art Fair ...
	♥ 10:57am Handy Haversack: Shoot!, I have a meeting this week at 11. Great show, Trouble! Thanks so much for it, and to your Skeleton as well. Be well, all!
	10:58am βrian: @Handy, Dear me. Would you dare say which business? Football crowds were definitely not my cup o' tea.
	♥ 10:59am Trouble: thanks@ handy!
	10:59am Jelly Jim: yeah!! and Hi from Whitstable in Kent UK Good Show !
	♥ 10:59am Handy Haversack: Arbor Brewing on Washington St. downtown.
	♥ 11:01am Trouble: hi @jelly jim, merci!
	11:01am βrian: It was the 80s/early 90s for me. I slung cassoulet at the Kerrytown Bistro, among other joints.
	♥ 11:03am Handy Haversack: Ha -- first place I lived was at Fifth and Depot.
	♥ 11:06am Webhamster Henry: Vicki in the playlist!
	11:06am βrian: Ah, right near Zingermann's. ("Service with an obsequious cattle prod!")
	11:06am Mark R: If you really want to blow a gasket, consider that the highest paid public official in all 50 states is either a football or basketball coach. In case you were wondering how we came to be the dumbest “developed” country in the world.
	11:07am βrian: @Mark R: Divest!
	11:08am Stephanie: Such a great show today! Thanks for the jams, Trouble.
	♥ 11:09am Trouble: gracias!@stephanie
	11:09am Mark R: Aw, but footbawl, Brian!
	♥ 11:10am Crudbringer: this needs to go on a premium with Paint The Lawn, Harry.
	♥ 11:10am Ike: @Mark, we're pretty stupid, but don't forget that FIFA (soccer) is one of the most corrupt organizations on Earth. The dumb is worldwide.
	11:10am HesperusWrecked: This version of 'The Devil…" always sound so rushed compared to the old 7".
	♥ 11:10am Crudbringer: "Local Moms Gone Wild"
	11:11am Niall: That was cool. Kinda Boingwater-ish, wunnit?
	11:11am Niall: Erm, Bongwater-ish.
	11:11am Mark R: They always say sports adds to the “prestige” of the university, to which I always respond, “OK, let’s say you’re going in for open heart surgery—which diploma do you want to see on the wall, Ohio State or Harvard?”
	11:11am wizard frog: what about that massive banking leak from couple weeks back - all them shady deals all the banks have been doing - unsurprisingly haven't heard much of it since.
	♥ 11:12am karlward: Love the Northern Flicker. We see them in Bergen county all the time.
	11:12am βrian: Rara avis, yo.
	♥ 11:12am Passaic River Blues: Northern flickers used to be called Golden-winged Woodpeckers. My wife thinks they look like Edwardian women wrapped in a gorgeous cloak.
	11:13am Niall: Happy to hear these birds.
	11:13am βrian: The covid virus would want to see a UW-Madison diploma.
	♥ 11:16am Ernst Unding: Say g'day to Bruce, Bruce.
	11:16am hendrix wolfbat: My senators are such complete trash. I have Purdue an loffler and they suck so hard. Purdue has never had a staff or answer his phones in the entire time he's been a senator. It's always his voicemail, and his voicemail is always full. I hope we can flip Georgia Blue
	♥ 11:17am Trouble: @hendrix: does he have a website? my senators have a contact link where i can write to them through their site
	11:19am βrian: RoJo is such a lickspittle, too. Tammy Baldwin rocks, on the other hand.
	♥ 11:20am Passaic River Blues: @Brian: there's plenty of competition, but I think RoJo might be the dumbest person in the U.S. Senate at present.
	♥ 11:24am adampsyche: trouble reggae cuts are always dope cuts
	♥ 11:27am Trouble: gracias@adampsyche
	11:36am LaVa LaTweme: Luv the show today
	♥ 11:37am Trouble: merci@Lava!
	♥ 11:41am Yes: :)
	11:45am mark williams: This Soul System cut is the b-side to this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWXgrsQd-Xg An early '70s Studio One track.
	11:46am Matthew: Great set today Trouble. Made grading papers almost pleasant.
	♥ 11:52am Trouble: gracias@matthew!
	11:54am prudy: thanks Trouble for all the encouragement and great show by the way...and guess what, if Roe is reversed there are plenty of women like myself who will work clandestinely to provide abortion access. It's gone on for thousands of years and will continue...
	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the hour: Pseu's Thing With A Hook: wfmu.org... && Continental Subway with David Dichelle: wfmu.org...
	♥ 11:56am Trouble: thanks@prudy!!
	♥ 11:59am Yes: Thank you , trouble :) :) :)
	♥ 11:59am Priscilla: Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 11:59am common: thanks trouble! these tunes got me through a virtual interview with some calm.
	♥ 12:00pm Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning and for all the good words!
	♥ 1:29pm p/b: I worked at a UNICEF benefit a few years ago where Diana Ross performed, she was/is beautiful, amazing, breathtaking. Also haven't quite recovered from seeing the Supremes' dresses in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland a million years ago. Someday we'll be together

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from October 15, 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.

	♥ 9:08am Crudbringer: ! it is rude to use upper case while this track is playing
	♥ 9:09am common: trouble, all.
	9:10am northguineahills: @Handy: I was in my 20s, and going skiing w/ friends upstate, and there was something herbal (we somehow got on the Jersey side, as the traffic was less then the NYC side)
	9:11am yeti bob: happy lower case morning crudbringer
	9:11am northguineahills: ee cummings approves....
	♥ 9:12am Trouble: I just read that thursday is named after THOR the norse god of thunder. something i am sure they taught me in grade school but who can remember yesterday never mind third grade
	9:13am YETI BOB: @Trouble: In Germany they call it "Donnerstag" which literally means "Thunder Day"
	9:13am Slaboch: This sounds fantastic!
	9:14am dougseidel: And that map is great!
	♥ 9:14am Crudbringer: hello yeti, hello handy. hello ngh and trouble. i am sorry i have been away, trying to squeeze the last peach juice from summer. but now comes the bitter wind & winter. and i shall hide inside.
	♥ 9:15am Daybreak and the Hybrid Life: Groovy Chimes... & map!
	9:15am Dances with Moomins: Good Morning Dj Trouble on-the-Jersey-side, and Moderns the world over.
	9:15am YETI BOB: Saturday is for Saturn, Sunday is for the Sun, Monday is the moon, Wednesday is Woden, Friday is for Freya. But the really weird one is Tuesday.
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: Crudbringer, good to see you!
	9:16am Dances with Moomins: Thursday is for Trouble
	♥ 9:16am Handy Haversack: Not a Tyr fan, YB?
	9:18am yeti bob: HH: Not that I'm not a fan. Just - who ever heard of that god? And in German it's Dienstag, “Day of Thingsus”). Thingsus is the attested Latin name of a Germanic god who may or may not be the same as Tiw (Tyr).
	♥ 9:18am Webhamster Henry: Hi Modernaires! Sound bath followed by tea + honey.
	9:18am yeti bob: Thingsus? I don't know, I think the etymolgists are just having a bit of fun. "Praise Thingsus!"
	9:18am northguineahills: Monday=Moonday, Tuesday = Tyi's day (anglos saxon god of war, like mars), Wednesday = (woden/oden's day, norse), Thursday = Thors day (obvious), Friday = Frigg (germanic goddess of fertility, Saturday = Saturn's day (Roman), Sunday = (obvious). This has been your etymological daily broadcast.
	♥ 9:18am pantz: Freitag, I'm in love!
	9:18am VT Knit Girl: Good Morning Trouble!
	9:20am Dances with Moomins: Torstai here in Suomi land. It means: we eat green pea soup ...and you think I'm kidding you....
	9:20am yeti bob: ngh: Isn't it sort of amazing and weird that we have 4 Norse gods/goddesses lurking in our daily calendar?
	9:20am SHAGALOV: GOOOOD MORNING TROUBLE ✧
	♥ 9:20am Crudbringer: nice pencil sharpener, VT to the K. G.
	9:21am northguineahills: 'tis it is, but no more weird then Roman ones. (the Norse have a huge influence on English culture)
	9:21am northguineahills: pantz just made me lultz!
	♥ 9:22am Trouble: dobroye utro@shagalov!
	♥ 9:22am p/b: my cat is now levitating - again
	9:22am northguineahills: @Dances w/ Moomins: when is reindeer meat day?
	9:23am yeti bob: @ngh: I think the Greek/Roman contributions to our culture are more acknowledged. At least in my growing up, we were taught about Rome and Greece and their cultures and gods, but not much about the Vikings other than that they were "marauders".
	9:23am Dances with Moomins: Hi NGHills, every other day now....it's moose season.
	♥ 9:24am Webhamster Henry: Liner notes for "A Space For Sound" : www.aspaceforsound.com...
	♥ 9:24am Threemoons: Good morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers. Getting a tardy starty today.
	9:24am m()7s: Such a great track to begin today
	♥ 9:25am Handy Haversack: Just found out my dr. appt. is over the phone! So I don't have to leave in a few minutes after all!
	9:25am northguineahills: isn't moose in Europe what we call elk in North America? I could be wrong.
	9:25am Listener Gregory: Mbira mborning, everyone. Great opening, Trouble!
	♥ 9:26am Webhamster Henry: Tank drums are tongue drums often cut from propane tanks.
	♥ 9:26am Crudbringer: ngh yes there is vocabulary confusion around the larger wild ungulates.
	9:27am northguineahills: @Yeti: Norse cultural and linguistic influence can be found in Yorkshire, and Scotland (especially the Shetlands and the Orkneys....)
	9:27am YETI BOB: @ngh: Oh absolutely. I'm speaking from a USA perspective.
	9:28am northguineahills: I think Listener Gregory has a good start of a pop song.....
	♥ 9:28am melinda: @ngh I recently watched a video of a woman speaking Shetlandic and it reminded me of Bjork
	♥ 9:28am Handy Haversack: Oh rocks, Crudbringer!
	9:29am YETI BOB: @HH: I wonder if they could do my colonoscopy over the phone...
	♥ 9:29am Handy Haversack: ("Aurochs"? "What's his name when he's at home?" Not sure if that one landed.)
	9:30am northguineahills: curious, Melinda. I watch a lot of the beeb, but once there was a doc on fisherman north of Aberdeen, and I couldn't parse what they were saying (they even had subtitles on the beeb_.
	9:31am northguineahills: @Handy: needs more of a bovine rock reference ;p)
	♥ 9:31am Crudbringer: HH "something something qiviut". dangit. pun power is not happening for me today yet.
	♥ 9:31am Handy Haversack: Maybe with a rotary, YB. Hey-oh!
	9:32am Dances with Moomins: @N.G. hills Moose here are like N. American moose.. We don't see elk, only reindeer...which are in the same family, I think. Mooses are not smart and should be avoided when found on or near a road, they charge cars ! YIKES!
	♥ 9:32am karlward: Rena Anakwe (A Space for Sound) on Radio Ravioli: wfmu.org...
	9:33am northguineahills: Moose in NA will detroy you. And that's not taking in encounters while driving...
	♥ 9:33am Mx. Granny (e/em): Greetings from the gloaming of San Francisco, Trouble and WFMU palz!
	♥ 9:33am karlward: Rena was my classmate in art school! I am continually humbled by the greatness of my classmates.
	♥ 9:34am pantz: One of my favorite Monty Python sketches is Graham Chapman as Oscar Wilde.
	♥ 9:36am Mx. Granny (e/em): The title is from Janet Frame, i wonder what the connection is…
	9:37am thedunkel: Good Morning Trouble! Good morning all!
	9:38am spodiodi: Good morning!
	♥ 9:39am Trouble: @mx. granny: i do wonder if there is a connection to janet frame or the excellent movie about her life by the excellent jane campion
	♥ 9:39am Handy Haversack: Hey there, Mx. Granny!
	9:39am yeti bob: So many great Oscar Wilde quotes it's hard to pick one. But my favorite has to be : "Only the shallow know themselves." -Oscar Wilde
	♥ 9:40am Mx. Granny (e/em): Trouble: the song seems to have come out afyer Frame's memoir but before the film. Hey, Handy!!!
	♥ 9:41am Mx. Granny (e/em): yay, Todd!
	♥ 9:42am Priscilla: Todd!
	♥ 9:42am Mx. Granny (e/em): i had an almost transcendental moment singing this at (online) karaoke recently

	9:59am Lixiviated Life: feeling like Trouble today
	9:59am βrian: Sunny but chilly here on the isthmus today. Good morning.
	♥ 10:02am Pale Son: That was some dreamy dub!
	♥ 10:02am PaulRobeson1920: Goood Day Sunshine!
	10:06am CeeDub: A moose is an Elk. An Elk is a Wapiti. An Älgtest is actually an Undanmanöverprov.
	♥ 10:07am Mx. Granny (e/em): one of my all time favorite movies!
	♥ 10:08am Mx. Granny (e/em): CeeDub: thanks!
	10:08am Listener Gregory: Happy International Credit Union Day, everyone! I'm sure Trouble has exactly the right song to celebrate the occasion.
	♥ 10:09am Crudbringer: there are raccoons in Germany, imported from the U. S. they are called Waschbär there because they are a little bär that washes they are not cleaning their food they are increasing their paw sensitivity
	♥ 10:10am Handy Haversack: pledge.wfmu.org...
	10:11am Listener Gregory: Correction: It's Princeton that had the problem with equal pay. Well, they're the one that agreed to do something about it; every US university has it.
	10:12am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: i like washbears…
	♥ 10:13am Yes: hello friends
	10:13am Dances with Moomins: @Crudbringer, in Finland it's pesukarhu or wash bear but we never see them. Not sure they are here. Trash Pandas down in Alabama they say
	♥ 10:15am Trouble: yes gregory, princeton did have a problem with equal pay, AND rutgers got hit with a law suit recently. It's in today's NY Times
	♥ 10:15am Handy Haversack: I am sure I could get someone to take the bet, but my great regret is that I have no idea how to collect on it: that 100,000 years or so from now give or take, raccoons will have achieved real space flight and gotten off this rock. Increasing paw sensitivity indeed!
	10:15am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: we could re-export some hedgehooks (igel) to the U.S. instead…
	10:16am Listener Gregory: Trouble, you are way ahead of me! I only saw the Princeton report last night.
	10:16am Mikula: Hi Trouble and all y'all. Thursday comes just in time.
	10:20am βrian: Rutgers is public, right? Aren't all salaries published?
	♥ 10:20am Handy Haversack: Whose idea was it to import (or, conversely, export) raccoons? Could it have been ... the raccoons'?!
	♥ 10:21am Trouble: yes @ brian, rutgers is one of the public universities of NJ
	10:22am βrian: You might ask the raccoons, but surely they'd say, "Hey, I wash my hands."
	10:23am Listener Gregory: Rutgers is public. In many state universities, the salaries are therefore public, but not sure about New Jersey. I don't think Rutgers will be as quick to settle as Princeton. State universities have not been on the cutting edge of equity issues in general. Everyone has a strong tendency to fall back on, "We follow all the regulations correctly" for almost any issue.
	♥ 10:25am Handy Haversack: βrian, keep watching the skies!
	♥ 10:25am Pale Son: Wanna knit you a sweater.
	♥ 10:28am pantz: Not too scratchy @Pale Son, please.

	♥ 10:38am Trouble: HEAD COACH RUTGERS FOOTBALL makes over 2 million$$$ highest paid employee at rutgers. WTF. and yes i am yelling, thank you for asking. that kind if shit makes it easy to say no to the poor work study kids who call asking for alum donations
	♥ 10:41am Handy Haversack: Trouble: exact same feeling with U of Michigan, where Kate and I met while getting MFAs.
	♥ 10:42am Handy Haversack: (Is the playlist page acting odd for anyone else? As if the show were over, but the list is still updating? Playlist above rather than next to comments?)
	10:43am bobitey: @HH: yeah we got moved down here to the basement! I don't know why.
	10:44am Sylvia (France-NYC): yes, are we stuck in time?
	♥ 10:44am Webhamster Henry: Imagine if the theatre department were funded like the sports department.
	10:46am Listener Gregory: Blow, Roy Eldridge, blow! My playlist page just fixed itself. I thought it was just me.
	♥ 10:47am Trouble: i think i just fixed it? looking better now?
	♥ 10:47am Handy Haversack: We're back! I thought we were to be forever on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard." I mean, it's where I belong, I expect.
	♥ 10:47am Webhamster Henry: All fixed!
	10:49am Mikula: Oh, yea. Kate NV. Thanks for introducing me to her, Trouble.
	10:49am Peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and people of the Thursday! Just another Troubled Thursday! ;-)

	10:55am βrian: I never set foot inside the stadium at U of M. Never will.
	♥ 10:56am Trouble: ooops, sorry @peter i didn't think of time difference. Viva Mexico!
	♥ 10:56am Handy Haversack: βrian, waiting tables on football Saturdays is still one of the worst experiences of my life. And Art Fair ...
	♥ 10:57am Handy Haversack: Shoot!, I have a meeting this week at 11. Great show, Trouble! Thanks so much for it, and to your Skeleton as well. Be well, all!
	10:58am βrian: @Handy, Dear me. Would you dare say which business? Football crowds were definitely not my cup o' tea.
	♥ 10:59am Trouble: thanks@ handy!
	10:59am Jelly Jim: yeah!! and Hi from Whitstable in Kent UK Good Show !
	♥ 10:59am Handy Haversack: Arbor Brewing on Washington St. downtown.
	♥ 11:01am Trouble: hi @jelly jim, merci!
	11:01am βrian: It was the 80s/early 90s for me. I slung cassoulet at the Kerrytown Bistro, among other joints.
	♥ 11:03am Handy Haversack: Ha -- first place I lived was at Fifth and Depot.
	♥ 11:06am Webhamster Henry: Vicki in the playlist!
	11:06am βrian: Ah, right near Zingermann's. ("Service with an obsequious cattle prod!")
	11:06am Mark R: If you really want to blow a gasket, consider that the highest paid public official in all 50 states is either a football or basketball coach. In case you were wondering how we came to be the dumbest “developed” country in the world.
	11:07am βrian: @Mark R: Divest!
	11:08am Stephanie: Such a great show today! Thanks for the jams, Trouble.
	♥ 11:09am Trouble: gracias!@stephanie
	11:09am Mark R: Aw, but footbawl, Brian!
	♥ 11:10am Crudbringer: this needs to go on a premium with Paint The Lawn, Harry.
	♥ 11:10am Ike: @Mark, we're pretty stupid, but don't forget that FIFA (soccer) is one of the most corrupt organizations on Earth. The dumb is worldwide.
	11:10am HesperusWrecked: This version of 'The Devil…" always sound so rushed compared to the old 7".
	♥ 11:10am Crudbringer: "Local Moms Gone Wild"
	11:11am Niall: That was cool. Kinda Boingwater-ish, wunnit?
	11:11am Niall: Erm, Bongwater-ish.
	11:11am Mark R: They always say sports adds to the “prestige” of the university, to which I always respond, “OK, let’s say you’re going in for open heart surgery—which diploma do you want to see on the wall, Ohio State or Harvard?”
	11:11am wizard frog: what about that massive banking leak from couple weeks back - all them shady deals all the banks have been doing - unsurprisingly haven't heard much of it since.
	♥ 11:12am karlward: Love the Northern Flicker. We see them in Bergen county all the time.
	11:12am βrian: Rara avis, yo.
	♥ 11:12am Passaic River Blues: Northern flickers used to be called Golden-winged Woodpeckers. My wife thinks they look like Edwardian women wrapped in a gorgeous cloak.
	11:13am Niall: Happy to hear these birds.
	11:13am βrian: The covid virus would want to see a UW-Madison diploma.
	♥ 11:16am Ernst Unding: Say g'day to Bruce, Bruce.
	11:16am hendrix wolfbat: My senators are such complete trash. I have Purdue an loffler and they suck so hard. Purdue has never had a staff or answer his phones in the entire time he's been a senator. It's always his voicemail, and his voicemail is always full. I hope we can flip Georgia Blue
	♥ 11:17am Trouble: @hendrix: does he have a website? my senators have a contact link where i can write to them through their site
	11:19am βrian: RoJo is such a lickspittle, too. Tammy Baldwin rocks, on the other hand.
	♥ 11:20am Passaic River Blues: @Brian: there's plenty of competition, but I think RoJo might be the dumbest person in the U.S. Senate at present.
	♥ 11:24am adampsyche: trouble reggae cuts are always dope cuts
	♥ 11:27am Trouble: gracias@adampsyche
	11:36am LaVa LaTweme: Luv the show today

	11:46am Matthew: Great set today Trouble. Made grading papers almost pleasant.
	♥ 11:52am Trouble: gracias@matthew!
	11:54am prudy: thanks Trouble for all the encouragement and great show by the way...and guess what, if Roe is reversed there are plenty of women like myself who will work clandestinely to provide abortion access. It's gone on for thousands of years and will continue...
	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the hour: Pseu's Thing With A Hook: wfmu.org... && Continental Subway with David Dichelle: wfmu.org...

	♥ 1:29pm p/b: I worked at a UNICEF benefit a few years ago where Diana Ross performed, she was/is beautiful, amazing, breathtaking. Also haven't quite recovered from seeing the Supremes' dresses in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland a million years ago. Someday we'll be together
