	9:42am Tank Top: Welcome back Trouble! That's a great title for a old blues song.
	9:44am upstatesean: Did you already tell the wrist breaking story?! A cautionary tale? A blameless stroke of fate?

	9:46am Trouble: @upstatesean:tripped over an elevated piece of concrete. truly dumb story

	9:49am upstatesean: running from a pack of coyotes, something like that

	9:53am upstatesean: outpacing those wolves - that was amazing!
	9:54am prudy: years ago I slipped on the ice and fractured my wrist...luckily it was my left (i'm right handed) but it required surgery...often if the break is clean there is less medical procedure involved...you're just in a cast for months...
	9:54am Trouble: gracias@frankem!
	9:54am Lixiviated Life: Lou Reeds ballads are his best works. "I'm gonna watch the bluebirds fly..."
	9:55am patrick321: @YETI BOB a delayed reply but that entire Bruni LP is very good and def worth looking for.
	9:56am ranjit: Yay! Welcome back, Trouble!
	9:56am upstate sean: this show always makes me homesick for France
	9:56am steveo: Candy Says: birds!

	9:57am waters7: Wow! Hot chip! Bravo
	9:59am Yes: josephine foster was so nice. can anyone reccomend any of her releases?

	10:00am Yes: mmm. meg baird dead :)
	10:02am YETI BOB: Yes: No she's not!!

	10:11am ShaunO: Just discovered the station. :)
	10:11am Todd-o-phonic Todd: Cut Worms!
	10:13am GListener MW: Amazing set :) thank you!
	10:13am Handy Haversack: Welcome, ShaunO, and congrats! Trouble, would you describe those wolves as fire-breathing?
	10:13am adampsyche: how many wolves
	10:14am happymaan: I broke my wrist a bit ago having a bidet/japanese toilet was a lifesaver!
	10:14am Pale Son: It actually only takes a minute or two to play through once.
	10:15am Trouble: @adampsyche; 7, or 9 i can't remember
	10:16am TDK60: I think WKCR FM did play some of that E. Satie Vexations recently, went on for hours.
	10:17am YETI BOB: Satie wrote "Vexations" around 1900 but it wasn't performed publicly until John Cage took an interest in it in the 1960s
	10:17am Pale Son: This guy did a live-streamed version back at the end of May: www.newyorker.com... It was mesmerizing!
	10:18am Tank Top: I broke my wrist 10 years ago. Cast over the elbow for 8 weeks. Hang in there Trouble!
	10:20am melinda: I like the new Cut Worms, it sounds like something from a previous time.
	10:20am Glorious Estephonic: Hi Trouble sending you healing vibrations. I fractured my tibia/fibula and sacrum. I feel your bone pain. Qigong 3 palms together and homeopathic remedies like arnica, Hypericum perforatum for nerve pain and Symphytum Officinale for bone trauma and cbd oil have really been helping me. and epsom salt baths and essential oils finally 2 month mark i can now take them.
	10:20am Frank Zaatar: Vexations is a mesmerizing piece of music. At my school we mounted a 24-hour performance with a couple dozen pianists. Didn't get tired of it.
	10:24am melinda: This Herb Alpert album reminds me of a Christmas past, when my cousin who had just started driving would play it in the car. Good times.
	10:24am prudy: would not have guessed that was Herb Alpert...
	10:26am steveo: i caught my dear spouse chair dancing to the herb alpert :)
	10:30am dave in baltimore: Loving this
	10:33am Tank Top: This might be my cat's favorite WFMU show. Mainly for the birds, but also the tranquil music. Her least fave probably Creamo Coyl.
	10:36am waters7: Thanks for Miles Davis, this morning!
	10:36am steveo: @ coltrane
	10:37am Trouble: @tank top that's b/cuz yr cat knows i love cats.
	10:37am steveo: & coltrane
	10:38am Sully510: Digging this.
	10:41am tak: aahah siiim
	10:41am waters7: your killing it lady!
	10:42am Trouble: merci @emily!
	10:42am David F: Fantastic play list. Props.

	10:53am Garth: Welcome back, Trouble!
	10:53am Ryansterlingvirtue: this song is perfect for my mood.
	10:54am Handy Haversack: Trouble, it all sounds so good, I'd believe you have three wrists!
	10:54am rabblerabble: Hey @DJ Trouble -- just want to give a year-end thanks. I discovered your show this year and it's been a godsend for the work-at-home crowd this shitty year. Merry Crimmas everyone!
	10:55am Trouble: HA! thanks @handy.nope, just a sometimes unwilling left hand. learning how to do the mouse with left hand is sooo weird. although i can type a bit with right fingers. splint/brace stops at thumb.
	10:56am steveo: aw, handy; you always know just the right thing to say
	10:56am Ryansterlingvirtue: i just noticed SAULT on your playlist. i just discovered them yesterday. gorgeous music. i was looking for it at Rough Trade.
	10:57am Trouble: welcome aboard @rabblerabble! glad that covid madness sent you a spark of sunshine in the form of WFMU
	10:57am HyperDose: This is some awfully nice Trouble we're getting into this morning. Good to have WFMU's very own wolf wrangler back!
	10:58am William Swan, Jr: William Gibson has a new novel now called Agency. It's a continuation of his last story called The Peripheral. He's also got a graphic novel called Archangel.
	10:59am Handy Haversack: I sliced open my right hand on a chain-link fence at the racetrack about thirteen years ago (WHAT?) and was in the same awful boat, Trouble. Couldn't do ANYthing. It's so frustrating.
	10:59am chris_in_space: Great to have you back, @Trouble. Sorry to hear about your spill. I've broken ribs as well. It was the most uncomfortable week of my life.
	11:00am Philippe bastille: Good morning all! Welcome back Trouble!
	11:01am TDK60: It's also been a joy for the unemployed at home.
	11:02am Trouble: i even found it challenging to read! holding the book was a wrangle. Meanwhile the overstory by richard powers has been absorbing along with The Death of the Heart by Elizabeth Bowen.
	11:03am steveo: the way powers sets up all the characters is really great in the overstory...
	11:04am Tamar: Welcome back, Trouble! Lovely to hear you again, and good luck with the wrist-wrangling.
	11:05am Trouble: it is@steveo: i feel like each chapter is a novella. it's overwhelming if i read too many chapters in a row
	11:05am Trouble: bonjour tamar!
	11:07am Paul from North Jersey: @Trouble you and the rest of the station, have been a balm this year, kept us from going insane from covid and the damn election, so thank you
	11:07am Listener Bop Monroe: welcome back! missed you. get better quick! it's a krimble maybe miracle!
	11:08am steveo: i just finished a noirish corporate espionage book called clean hands by patrick hoffman; it grabbed me for a while but the ending kind of fizzled, imo; now i'm catching up on new yorkers :)
	11:10am Listener Bop Monroe: re: the splash page painting makes me miss my dad: all those wrecked destroyed nazi planes make me smile. thnx pop! go France!
	11:14am madeleine.giansanti: Hi, Trouble. Happy Holidays :-) nice that you are back spinning
	11:15am happymaan: Sorry, what was the name of that movie again?
	11:16am happymaan: found it www.newyorker.com...
	11:17am Handy Haversack: I'm reading a book about fighting gods who are trying to take over Lagos. Following along on a map of Lagos because it turns out I have very little sense of its geography.
	11:18am Trouble: sylvio is the movie i spoke about
	11:18am steveo: unnyfay itletay
	11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Happy Healing Holidays DJ Trouble !
	11:18am Trouble: helllo@madeleine!

	11:29am BLT: Yeahhhhhhhh!
	11:29am YETI BOB: @whh: I love the Don Marquis reference, always loved that book. The typing cockroach was Archy with a 'y'
	11:30am Trouble: hey@79.5! so happy you are dj'ing. can you give us the deets?
	11:30am Passaic River Blues: What a tremendous return to the airwaves, Trouble! That Ela Minus track thumps so hard and now lesser known Ruth gems! We even got 79.5 on the board!
	11:30am Chinga: Hey Handy, ya gotta axe yerself: What petty gods would fight over a catbox like Lagos?
	11:30am YETI BOB: And the cat was Mehitabel.
	11:31am Handy Haversack: Oooo, 79.5 is going to DJ?!
	11:31am YETI BOB: (I have the book right here...)
	11:33am Priscilla: RIP Leslie West
	11:33am Jeffrey Davison: Good to have you back, Trouble!
	11:33am Choggie: Wasn' the central theme of Archie & Mehetibel focus upon brick-chunkin'?

	11:35am Trouble: hola@jeffrey! Super @79.5!
	11:35am Choggie: Oh yeah, now I remember!

	11:35am Priscilla: Mountain was a big part of my teenage soundtrack
	11:36am luka: seconding that emotion re: Leslie West, i laid on the floor and listened to Nantucket Sleighride last night.
	11:36am Trouble: gracias@passaic river blues!
	11:38am HyperDose: Most likely how I'll be spending my evening luka! He was the coolest guy, him and Corky were so easy to work with. No egos, just wanted to play and play LOUD.
	11:40am prudy: you go Lonney!
	11:40am patrick321: NYT has a nice obit/appreciation of Leslie West today. Rightly mentions his incredible tone.

	11:42am cuteCloud: good mornin everybunny :)
	11:42am cuteCloud: great show for excavating, Trouble :))
	11:44am Brian in UK: It is going to be a chilly clear night over here. Good news is that the moon is out so Santa will be able to see his way. Good show, Trouble.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 Lonnie Holley
	11:45am Frank Zaatar: @Priscilla, Leslie Weinstein was a big part of my teenagehood too. He was a true original. He had that great Gibson tone and a lyricism you don't find in most of those hard-rock blooz players.
	11:46am luka: "The Mountain Live version (of "Long Red") has one of the most sampled drum breaks in the history of hip hop music. The break (as well as West's banter with the audience) has been sampled in over 600 songs as of 2017."
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheWho let Leslie West on stage with them. That didn't happen with a lot of Musicians.

	11:53am Handy Haversack: So happy to have you back, Trouble! It's been great! Keep on healing. @NikiA, it's /David Mogo Godhunter/ by Suyi Davies Okungbowa. Be well, Troubled Ones!

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.

	9:53am upstatesean: outpacing those wolves - that was amazing!
	9:54am prudy: years ago I slipped on the ice and fractured my wrist...luckily it was my left (i'm right handed) but it required surgery...often if the break is clean there is less medical procedure involved...you're just in a cast for months...
	9:54am Trouble: gracias@frankem!
	9:54am Lixiviated Life: Lou Reeds ballads are his best works. "I'm gonna watch the bluebirds fly..."
	9:55am patrick321: @YETI BOB a delayed reply but that entire Bruni LP is very good and def worth looking for.

	10:13am GListener MW: Amazing set :) thank you!
	10:13am Handy Haversack: Welcome, ShaunO, and congrats! Trouble, would you describe those wolves as fire-breathing?
	10:13am adampsyche: how many wolves
	10:14am happymaan: I broke my wrist a bit ago having a bidet/japanese toilet was a lifesaver!
	10:14am Pale Son: It actually only takes a minute or two to play through once.
	10:15am Trouble: @adampsyche; 7, or 9 i can't remember
	10:16am TDK60: I think WKCR FM did play some of that E. Satie Vexations recently, went on for hours.
	10:17am YETI BOB: Satie wrote "Vexations" around 1900 but it wasn't performed publicly until John Cage took an interest in it in the 1960s
	10:17am Pale Son: This guy did a live-streamed version back at the end of May: www.newyorker.com... It was mesmerizing!
	10:18am Tank Top: I broke my wrist 10 years ago. Cast over the elbow for 8 weeks. Hang in there Trouble!
	10:20am melinda: I like the new Cut Worms, it sounds like something from a previous time.
	10:20am Glorious Estephonic: Hi Trouble sending you healing vibrations. I fractured my tibia/fibula and sacrum. I feel your bone pain. Qigong 3 palms together and homeopathic remedies like arnica, Hypericum perforatum for nerve pain and Symphytum Officinale for bone trauma and cbd oil have really been helping me. and epsom salt baths and essential oils finally 2 month mark i can now take them.
	10:20am Frank Zaatar: Vexations is a mesmerizing piece of music. At my school we mounted a 24-hour performance with a couple dozen pianists. Didn't get tired of it.
	10:24am melinda: This Herb Alpert album reminds me of a Christmas past, when my cousin who had just started driving would play it in the car. Good times.
	10:24am prudy: would not have guessed that was Herb Alpert...
	10:26am steveo: i caught my dear spouse chair dancing to the herb alpert :)
	10:30am dave in baltimore: Loving this
	10:33am Tank Top: This might be my cat's favorite WFMU show. Mainly for the birds, but also the tranquil music. Her least fave probably Creamo Coyl.
	10:36am waters7: Thanks for Miles Davis, this morning!
	10:36am steveo: @ coltrane
	10:37am Trouble: @tank top that's b/cuz yr cat knows i love cats.

	10:54am Handy Haversack: Trouble, it all sounds so good, I'd believe you have three wrists!
	10:54am rabblerabble: Hey @DJ Trouble -- just want to give a year-end thanks. I discovered your show this year and it's been a godsend for the work-at-home crowd this shitty year. Merry Crimmas everyone!
	10:55am Trouble: HA! thanks @handy.nope, just a sometimes unwilling left hand. learning how to do the mouse with left hand is sooo weird. although i can type a bit with right fingers. splint/brace stops at thumb.
	10:56am steveo: aw, handy; you always know just the right thing to say
	10:56am Ryansterlingvirtue: i just noticed SAULT on your playlist. i just discovered them yesterday. gorgeous music. i was looking for it at Rough Trade.
	10:57am Trouble: welcome aboard @rabblerabble! glad that covid madness sent you a spark of sunshine in the form of WFMU
	10:57am HyperDose: This is some awfully nice Trouble we're getting into this morning. Good to have WFMU's very own wolf wrangler back!
	10:58am William Swan, Jr: William Gibson has a new novel now called Agency. It's a continuation of his last story called The Peripheral. He's also got a graphic novel called Archangel.
	10:59am Handy Haversack: I sliced open my right hand on a chain-link fence at the racetrack about thirteen years ago (WHAT?) and was in the same awful boat, Trouble. Couldn't do ANYthing. It's so frustrating.
	10:59am chris_in_space: Great to have you back, @Trouble. Sorry to hear about your spill. I've broken ribs as well. It was the most uncomfortable week of my life.
	11:00am Philippe bastille: Good morning all! Welcome back Trouble!
	11:01am TDK60: It's also been a joy for the unemployed at home.
	11:02am Trouble: i even found it challenging to read! holding the book was a wrangle. Meanwhile the overstory by richard powers has been absorbing along with The Death of the Heart by Elizabeth Bowen.
	11:03am steveo: the way powers sets up all the characters is really great in the overstory...
	11:04am Tamar: Welcome back, Trouble! Lovely to hear you again, and good luck with the wrist-wrangling.
	11:05am Trouble: it is@steveo: i feel like each chapter is a novella. it's overwhelming if i read too many chapters in a row
	11:05am Trouble: bonjour tamar!
	11:07am Paul from North Jersey: @Trouble you and the rest of the station, have been a balm this year, kept us from going insane from covid and the damn election, so thank you
	11:07am Listener Bop Monroe: welcome back! missed you. get better quick! it's a krimble maybe miracle!
	11:08am steveo: i just finished a noirish corporate espionage book called clean hands by patrick hoffman; it grabbed me for a while but the ending kind of fizzled, imo; now i'm catching up on new yorkers :)
	11:10am Listener Bop Monroe: re: the splash page painting makes me miss my dad: all those wrecked destroyed nazi planes make me smile. thnx pop! go France!
	11:14am madeleine.giansanti: Hi, Trouble. Happy Holidays :-) nice that you are back spinning
	11:15am happymaan: Sorry, what was the name of that movie again?
	11:16am happymaan: found it www.newyorker.com...
	11:17am Handy Haversack: I'm reading a book about fighting gods who are trying to take over Lagos. Following along on a map of Lagos because it turns out I have very little sense of its geography.
	11:18am Trouble: sylvio is the movie i spoke about

	11:30am Trouble: hey@79.5! so happy you are dj'ing. can you give us the deets?
	11:30am Passaic River Blues: What a tremendous return to the airwaves, Trouble! That Ela Minus track thumps so hard and now lesser known Ruth gems! We even got 79.5 on the board!
	11:30am Chinga: Hey Handy, ya gotta axe yerself: What petty gods would fight over a catbox like Lagos?
	11:30am YETI BOB: And the cat was Mehitabel.
	11:31am Handy Haversack: Oooo, 79.5 is going to DJ?!
	11:31am YETI BOB: (I have the book right here...)

	11:36am Trouble: gracias@passaic river blues!
	11:38am HyperDose: Most likely how I'll be spending my evening luka! He was the coolest guy, him and Corky were so easy to work with. No egos, just wanted to play and play LOUD.
	11:40am prudy: you go Lonney!

	11:42am cuteCloud: good mornin everybunny :)
	11:42am cuteCloud: great show for excavating, Trouble :))

	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 Lonnie Holley
	11:45am Frank Zaatar: @Priscilla, Leslie Weinstein was a big part of my teenagehood too. He was a true original. He had that great Gibson tone and a lyricism you don't find in most of those hard-rock blooz players.
	11:46am luka: "The Mountain Live version (of "Long Red") has one of the most sampled drum breaks in the history of hip hop music. The break (as well as West's banter with the audience) has been sampled in over 600 songs as of 2017."
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheWho let Leslie West on stage with them. That didn't happen with a lot of Musicians.
