	9:39am melinda: Lovely set.
	9:41am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble, busy at work but happily listening
	9:42am ParUbi: the slant of "the slanted life" is a reference to Dickinson's poem about winter melancholy! I get it now!
	9:42am Trouble: hello @adrian!
	9:43am Blubird: That Sakamoto is just a wonderful bit of music. ❤
	9:43am CHUCK ROAST: Good morning, Trouble. Le plus ca change, le plus la meme chose.
	9:48am ParUbi: Speaking of Dickinson, has anyone listened to Josephine Foster's "Graphic as a Star"? the lyrics are all Dickinson poems. It's my favorite of hers.
	9:49am John from Florham park: Nice tune age trouble
	9:53am steveo: this seems to be the turntable with no right channel
	9:53am steveo: (also, hi)
	9:54am ParUbi: no right for me either
	9:58am Lunchbox3030: @ParUbi what type of music is "Graphic as a Star"? Have been looking for some new music
	9:58am Adrian in London: Oh Trouble, I've finally got round to reading Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Quartet. I seem to recall that you liked those books. I've nearly finished volume three. Reading them all is basically my job now…
	10:01am ParUbi: @Lunchbox3030 It's (usually) spooky sounding indie folk. She has a pretty ghostly voice.
	10:04am Lunchbox3030: @ParUbi - sounds good. will give it a listen
	10:08am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): howdy, Trouble, Rosanna and all!
	10:08am John from Florham park: @Granny howdy
	10:17am paul: just tuned in, what poet are they talking about?
	10:19am Lunchbox3030: @paul emily dickinson
	10:19am ParUbi: Emily Dickinson
	10:24am prudy: love this discussion...thank you so much!
	10:26am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): howdy, John from Florham park!
	10:28am mrmikestandsir: Are you folks familiar with Kate Beaton's work/comics/writing/stuff?
	10:29am John from Florham park: Love when djs talk about books on here, I get the feeling that a lot of them are well read
	10:30am jt: I memorized an Emily Dickinson poem in High School .. carried it around in my head for years... after awhile I actually figured out what it was about. So precise and crisp. Very accurate observer of nature human and otherwise. Lots of love for Emily Dickinson.
	10:34am John from Florham park: @Prudy sitting in a parking lot just listening to this very fascinating discussion shows how much deep this station is
	10:35am ParUbi: This is what I like about WFMU-- no lanes!
	10:36am mrmikestandsir: Yay!! You're so right! In ART there should be NO LANES. All art(s)!
	10:38am Lunchbox3030: this has been a great interview to listen to! rosanna sounds so passionate about her craft, and thats the best an artist can strive to be
	10:39am Ken From Hyde Park: I remember watching Emily Dickinson on the Police Woman show back in the 70s.
	10:40am ParUbi: Here's one of my favorite of her poems: HOW happy is the little stone That rambles in the road alone, And does n’t care about careers, And exigencies never fears; Whose coat of elemental brown 5 A passing universe put on; And independent as the sun, Associates or glows alone, Fulfilling absolute decree In casual simplicity.
	10:41am JeremyB: Dioes the stream sound messed up to anyone else?
	10:41am JeremyB: Oh there it's back
	10:43am John from Florham park: @Jeremyb nope although the other streams are losing their minds because of problems
	10:49am Devin B.: Love this song
	10:51am prudy: love Tom Ze!
	10:56am editor_b: Listening from New Orleans. Always does my heart good to tune in and hear some music from here on WFMU. Eddie Bo is amazing!
	10:59am Webhamster Henry: Yeah NY Social Life!
	10:59am Webhamster Henry: Good to follow this with "JohnSomebody"!
	11:00am Listening Out There: "...remember that guy..."
	11:01am Webhamster Henry: NY Social is on "New Music For Electronic And Recorded Media" from 1750 Arch records, an early collection of experimental music by female composers that didn't mention that in its title!
	11:03am John from Florham park: Down with the man trouble
	11:03am Ike: Probably not too many of you ever listen to New Sounds on WNYC but Laurie Anderson really spoke up and helped to save it when it was threatened with cancellation recently, so she's a hero for local radio as far as I'm concerned. All these NPR news/talk stations are heavily homogenized now and it's pretty impressive that people stood up and held back the crushing tide of homogeneity trying to swallow that last daily hour on WNYC.
	11:05am Webhamster Henry: There was massive pushback against that New Sounds and other John Schaefer program cancellations. The real surprise is that it actually worked!
	11:06am John from Florham park: @Ike and webhamster hope the same thing happens with WBAI but I am not holding my breath
	11:09am Passaic River Blues: @Ike: did not know that about Anderson. Very commendable.
	11:10am steveo: Ike, I don't know when New Sounds is on, but when I hear it, I like it.
	11:12am sphere: I sent an email pushing WNYC to save New Sounds. Like Henry, I was astonished to find that the station listened.
	11:12am Ike: WBAI? Do we need WBAI anymore? You can get left-wing news anywhere on the Internet now. It served a purpose in the 80s and 90s when not everybody was on the Internet and couldn't get to The Nation or Jacobin or The Indypendent or whatever, but now? Really? Who needs this? Worse, it always sounds terrible. First radio should sound good and be entertaining.
	11:13am John from Florham park: @Ike you have a point there point taken
	11:14am jt: ..had to dance to Eddie Bo , too. How cold I not? "Bucket got a hole in it".. even the dog was dancing!
	11:14am John from Florham park: @Sphere what time is new sounds on?
	11:15am βrian: Oh my. I slept in, but I hope I haven't missed the oiseaux. Beautiful weather on the isthmus today.
	11:15am CHUCK ROAST: Sounds like Roseanne Cash from a neighboring dimension.
	11:15am steveo: new sounds episodes are archived www.newsounds.org... (look there's laurie anderson)
	11:16am Lunchbox3030: i only listen to WFMU in terms of radio. is wnyc worth tuning in to?
	11:16am βrian: Hmm, is this track really in Italian?
	11:17am βrian: Ah, ok. It is. I thought my stream had gone rogue.
	11:17am Priscilla: Yes it is
	11:18am jt: WBAI was good since it was so wacky nothing is that wacky even WFMU hads a kind of "studied and aware wacky-ness" while WBAI was playing Avantgarde composers and bizarre music that even WFMU doesn't approach, it will be missed. A big loss, in my book. Don't own a TV or watch I just listen to the radio. There is a huge hole now ..there on the dial...
	11:20am sphere: @ John - Looks like New Sounds is on at 11:00 PM daily.
	11:20am Hubig Pie: I like my beer cold my tv loud and my wacky-ness, studied and aware
	11:21am Ike: @jt, WBAI used to do music occasionally but not in recent years, right? I mean I rarely tune(d) in but when I did, it was 85-95% dismal talk that sounded terrible, and almost never any music. Just the very very occasional world music. Nothing avant-garde lately that I've ever come across. Wasn't that the 60s and 70s you're talking about?
	11:24am Matthew: Trouble! You are playing Emahoy and that mAkes you officially the coolest DJ on earth!!!
	11:26am Passaic River Blues: Lovely transition from Rome to Addis Ababa. This work by Guèbrou is perfection itself. I can imagine my grandmother the church organist and Chopin-to-Tin Pan Alley enthusiast appreciating its familiar yet persistently unique flourishes.
	11:27am Ike: Yeah this is awesome!
	11:29am John from Florham park: @Sohere thanks
	11:30am tim from champaign (now washington): Hello trouble and everybody! Did anyone listen to Jim White's DJ set a few weeks ago on Daniel Blumin's show? He played Emahoy, Mary Margaret O'Hara and other Trouble regulars. It seems like those Australian musicians are really dialed in to a higher plain of listening.
	11:31am Hubig Pie: Is this the original of this? I've only heard the Yo La Tengo cover
	11:31am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Fantastic show, especially this set right here.
	11:31am prudy: love YLT cover of this song...
	11:32am Roberto: JUDEEEEEEEEEE
	11:36am John from Florham park: @TFC there are a couple of stations I listen too from Australia triple j and 3rrr from Melbourne both play good stuff
	11:36am Lunchbox3030: @tim well, us aussies live a million miles away from anyone else, so all we do with our time is meditate on the fundamental truths of music and do barbies. its a simple life~
	11:36am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): oh, here's a song that has been overlooked too long, thank you!
	11:36am Priscilla: The life-changing magic of Trouble's show
	11:37am Webhamster Henry: WBAI has been a train wreck for years. I used to be a big fan when I first came to New York (probably because of WFMU's lousy Manhattan signal). I used to like the music (Peter Bochan's freeform show was and still is spectacular), the "Morning Serial" which sometimes was freshly produced, "Off the Hook" the hacker's radio show, the Citizen Kafka Show and Free Music Store revival, and shows like the one I was a guest on, Oblique Stretegies. They had the worst, most unlisteneable marathons ever. And that's saying a lot for the station that basically invented Marathons. Check out the Bob Fass documentary for a look at WBAI, and if you can find Steve Post's "Playing in the FM Band" you can get more tales of WBAI's salad days.
	11:37am John from Florham park: @Lunchbox3030 damn good stations that I just mentioned above
	11:39am tim from champaign (now washington): @lunchbox3030 - haha! That's the same way people have described Midwesterners in the US. That's were I'm from. I guess there's a certain truth to it.
	11:40am Priscilla: gigantic!
	11:40am sphere: this song - so good. Kim Deal!
	11:40am blee: big big love!
	11:41am Roberto: So simple yet so satisfying.
	11:41am ifeelfatnsassy: Matt Mahaffey ruined this song for me. All I hear now is Titanic, Titanic... a big big boat.
	11:41am John from Florham park: @Tim out side of around the big cities in the Midwest or college towns you can’t find good stations
	11:42am Lunchbox3030: @John Triple J is pretty great for a commercial station. influenced a lot of my music taste growing up, good indie rock. havent heard of 3rrr though, will have to give them a listen. This show has been so educational!
	11:43am SSS: I just ate apple pie made in a cast iron pan with ginger and chili flakes... Yow!! Perfect time to remember seeing the Eurythmics at Jones Beach Theater with Saturn's' rings visible through binocs. Bob D is still actually alive, yes?
	11:43am blee: Such an amazing album. Takes me back to what feels like 10 lives ago.
	11:44am thormagma: Ok trouble I see you!!!
	11:44am βrian: Yes, but in the midwest we don't do all that many barbiturates, really.
	11:44am Priscilla: dancing on my desk
	11:44am Lunchbox3030: @Tim some things, regardless of distance, stay constant. When you have got nothing better to do, you innovate! and cook smoked meats apparently :p
	11:44am John from Florham park: @Lunchbox3030 considering that radio Australia owns it
	11:44am thormagma: Also, @SSS: that sounds like heaven on earth.
	11:47am Mike Wolf: Literally yesterday I moved ever-so-slightly out of the red and into the black, and today I am so happy to be able to finally pledge to this show, which has become so important to me... Maybe someday I'll even start clicky-starring!
	11:48am tim from champaign (now washington): @Lunchbox3030 - definitely! I think that's why so many great/weird bands come from the midwest and Australia. I think that's also why there's such a mutual appreciation society between the 2 regions, Also, bbqing, sitting on porches drinking beer and going out to the woods for campfires and drinking beer.
	11:48am Phillippe Bastille: A late howdy to y'all
	11:53am Joe McG: Thanks for the Monroes, Trouble, really hit the spot!
	11:54am ron in S FL: Same here, thanks!
	11:54am Roberto: Yo that wuz hawt
	11:56am Lunchbox3030: @tim both regions took their rock background and made something unique of it - midwest pushed towards emo/hardcore and aus (at least syd/melborne) have been drifting towards psychadelic and prog rock. the more we change, the more we stay the same. and yea, fond memories of just sitting on the porch with the sun setting in the distance and a beer in your hand. cant go wrong with the simple pleasures
	11:56am Ike: @Lunchbox3030@11:16, oops, belated response: mostly no, but New Sounds at 11 p.m. is pretty good sometimes. The rest is just your standard NPR news/talk.
	11:58am ParUbi: Thank you, both of you!
	11:59am Ike: Oops, if you're Aussie you might not know what NPR is. It's sort of our cobbled-together attempt at a public broadcaster like the BBC, with anemic government funding and lots of "funded by this or that foundation and corporation" non-commercial commercials.
	11:59am CHUCK ROAST: Thank you, Trouble and Rosanna. Wonderful program, as always. Heading over to the dark side with Julie.
	12:00pm Lunchbox3030: @Ike thanks for the clarification! got new sounds queueud up for later. Im actually living in DC rn, so believe me i have had my fill of dull NPR monotone politik

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.

	11:00am Listening Out There: "...remember that guy..."
	11:01am Webhamster Henry: NY Social is on "New Music For Electronic And Recorded Media" from 1750 Arch records, an early collection of experimental music by female composers that didn't mention that in its title!
	11:03am John from Florham park: Down with the man trouble
	11:03am Ike: Probably not too many of you ever listen to New Sounds on WNYC but Laurie Anderson really spoke up and helped to save it when it was threatened with cancellation recently, so she's a hero for local radio as far as I'm concerned. All these NPR news/talk stations are heavily homogenized now and it's pretty impressive that people stood up and held back the crushing tide of homogeneity trying to swallow that last daily hour on WNYC.
	11:05am Webhamster Henry: There was massive pushback against that New Sounds and other John Schaefer program cancellations. The real surprise is that it actually worked!
	11:06am John from Florham park: @Ike and webhamster hope the same thing happens with WBAI but I am not holding my breath
	11:09am Passaic River Blues: @Ike: did not know that about Anderson. Very commendable.
	11:10am steveo: Ike, I don't know when New Sounds is on, but when I hear it, I like it.
	11:12am sphere: I sent an email pushing WNYC to save New Sounds. Like Henry, I was astonished to find that the station listened.
	11:12am Ike: WBAI? Do we need WBAI anymore? You can get left-wing news anywhere on the Internet now. It served a purpose in the 80s and 90s when not everybody was on the Internet and couldn't get to The Nation or Jacobin or The Indypendent or whatever, but now? Really? Who needs this? Worse, it always sounds terrible. First radio should sound good and be entertaining.
	11:13am John from Florham park: @Ike you have a point there point taken
	11:14am jt: ..had to dance to Eddie Bo , too. How cold I not? "Bucket got a hole in it".. even the dog was dancing!
	11:14am John from Florham park: @Sphere what time is new sounds on?
	11:15am βrian: Oh my. I slept in, but I hope I haven't missed the oiseaux. Beautiful weather on the isthmus today.
	11:15am CHUCK ROAST: Sounds like Roseanne Cash from a neighboring dimension.
	11:15am steveo: new sounds episodes are archived www.newsounds.org... (look there's laurie anderson)
	11:16am Lunchbox3030: i only listen to WFMU in terms of radio. is wnyc worth tuning in to?
	11:16am βrian: Hmm, is this track really in Italian?
	11:17am βrian: Ah, ok. It is. I thought my stream had gone rogue.
	11:17am Priscilla: Yes it is
	11:18am jt: WBAI was good since it was so wacky nothing is that wacky even WFMU hads a kind of "studied and aware wacky-ness" while WBAI was playing Avantgarde composers and bizarre music that even WFMU doesn't approach, it will be missed. A big loss, in my book. Don't own a TV or watch I just listen to the radio. There is a huge hole now ..there on the dial...
	11:20am sphere: @ John - Looks like New Sounds is on at 11:00 PM daily.
	11:20am Hubig Pie: I like my beer cold my tv loud and my wacky-ness, studied and aware
	11:21am Ike: @jt, WBAI used to do music occasionally but not in recent years, right? I mean I rarely tune(d) in but when I did, it was 85-95% dismal talk that sounded terrible, and almost never any music. Just the very very occasional world music. Nothing avant-garde lately that I've ever come across. Wasn't that the 60s and 70s you're talking about?
	11:24am Matthew: Trouble! You are playing Emahoy and that mAkes you officially the coolest DJ on earth!!!
	11:26am Passaic River Blues: Lovely transition from Rome to Addis Ababa. This work by Guèbrou is perfection itself. I can imagine my grandmother the church organist and Chopin-to-Tin Pan Alley enthusiast appreciating its familiar yet persistently unique flourishes.
	11:27am Ike: Yeah this is awesome!
	11:29am John from Florham park: @Sohere thanks
	11:30am tim from champaign (now washington): Hello trouble and everybody! Did anyone listen to Jim White's DJ set a few weeks ago on Daniel Blumin's show? He played Emahoy, Mary Margaret O'Hara and other Trouble regulars. It seems like those Australian musicians are really dialed in to a higher plain of listening.
	11:31am Hubig Pie: Is this the original of this? I've only heard the Yo La Tengo cover
	11:31am Geoffrey in Ottawa: Fantastic show, especially this set right here.
	11:31am prudy: love YLT cover of this song...
	11:32am Roberto: JUDEEEEEEEEEE
	11:36am John from Florham park: @TFC there are a couple of stations I listen too from Australia triple j and 3rrr from Melbourne both play good stuff
	11:36am Lunchbox3030: @tim well, us aussies live a million miles away from anyone else, so all we do with our time is meditate on the fundamental truths of music and do barbies. its a simple life~
	11:36am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): oh, here's a song that has been overlooked too long, thank you!
	11:36am Priscilla: The life-changing magic of Trouble's show
	11:37am Webhamster Henry: WBAI has been a train wreck for years. I used to be a big fan when I first came to New York (probably because of WFMU's lousy Manhattan signal). I used to like the music (Peter Bochan's freeform show was and still is spectacular), the "Morning Serial" which sometimes was freshly produced, "Off the Hook" the hacker's radio show, the Citizen Kafka Show and Free Music Store revival, and shows like the one I was a guest on, Oblique Stretegies. They had the worst, most unlisteneable marathons ever. And that's saying a lot for the station that basically invented Marathons. Check out the Bob Fass documentary for a look at WBAI, and if you can find Steve Post's "Playing in the FM Band" you can get more tales of WBAI's salad days.
	11:37am John from Florham park: @Lunchbox3030 damn good stations that I just mentioned above
	11:39am tim from champaign (now washington): @lunchbox3030 - haha! That's the same way people have described Midwesterners in the US. That's were I'm from. I guess there's a certain truth to it.
	11:40am Priscilla: gigantic!
	11:40am sphere: this song - so good. Kim Deal!
	11:40am blee: big big love!
	11:41am Roberto: So simple yet so satisfying.
	11:41am ifeelfatnsassy: Matt Mahaffey ruined this song for me. All I hear now is Titanic, Titanic... a big big boat.
	11:41am John from Florham park: @Tim out side of around the big cities in the Midwest or college towns you can’t find good stations
	11:42am Lunchbox3030: @John Triple J is pretty great for a commercial station. influenced a lot of my music taste growing up, good indie rock. havent heard of 3rrr though, will have to give them a listen. This show has been so educational!
	11:43am SSS: I just ate apple pie made in a cast iron pan with ginger and chili flakes... Yow!! Perfect time to remember seeing the Eurythmics at Jones Beach Theater with Saturn's' rings visible through binocs. Bob D is still actually alive, yes?
	11:43am blee: Such an amazing album. Takes me back to what feels like 10 lives ago.
	11:44am thormagma: Ok trouble I see you!!!
	11:44am βrian: Yes, but in the midwest we don't do all that many barbiturates, really.
	11:44am Priscilla: dancing on my desk
	11:44am Lunchbox3030: @Tim some things, regardless of distance, stay constant. When you have got nothing better to do, you innovate! and cook smoked meats apparently :p
	11:44am John from Florham park: @Lunchbox3030 considering that radio Australia owns it
	11:44am thormagma: Also, @SSS: that sounds like heaven on earth.
	11:47am Mike Wolf: Literally yesterday I moved ever-so-slightly out of the red and into the black, and today I am so happy to be able to finally pledge to this show, which has become so important to me... Maybe someday I'll even start clicky-starring!
	11:48am tim from champaign (now washington): @Lunchbox3030 - definitely! I think that's why so many great/weird bands come from the midwest and Australia. I think that's also why there's such a mutual appreciation society between the 2 regions, Also, bbqing, sitting on porches drinking beer and going out to the woods for campfires and drinking beer.
	11:48am Phillippe Bastille: A late howdy to y'all
	11:53am Joe McG: Thanks for the Monroes, Trouble, really hit the spot!
	11:54am ron in S FL: Same here, thanks!
	11:54am Roberto: Yo that wuz hawt
	11:56am Lunchbox3030: @tim both regions took their rock background and made something unique of it - midwest pushed towards emo/hardcore and aus (at least syd/melborne) have been drifting towards psychadelic and prog rock. the more we change, the more we stay the same. and yea, fond memories of just sitting on the porch with the sun setting in the distance and a beer in your hand. cant go wrong with the simple pleasures
	11:56am Ike: @Lunchbox3030@11:16, oops, belated response: mostly no, but New Sounds at 11 p.m. is pretty good sometimes. The rest is just your standard NPR news/talk.
	11:58am ParUbi: Thank you, both of you!
	11:59am Ike: Oops, if you're Aussie you might not know what NPR is. It's sort of our cobbled-together attempt at a public broadcaster like the BBC, with anemic government funding and lots of "funded by this or that foundation and corporation" non-commercial commercials.
	11:59am CHUCK ROAST: Thank you, Trouble and Rosanna. Wonderful program, as always. Heading over to the dark side with Julie.
	12:00pm Lunchbox3030: @Ike thanks for the clarification! got new sounds queueud up for later. Im actually living in DC rn, so believe me i have had my fill of dull NPR monotone politik
