Listener comments!
	9:01am Handy Haversack: Trouble and all the Troubled. It's a troubling day. Thank goodness for Trouble!
	9:01am TDK60: Good day disc jockey Ms. Trouble. I'm on 2nd caffeine beverage.
	9:01am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all, and happy Thanksgiving or Thursday to all as applicable!
	9:02am Fragonard: I’m already jittering …lost track of how much Tim Horton’s I’ve gulped
	9:04am Trouble: i am bringing the flowers to today's table. happy happy thursday in november
	9:04am TDK60: Handy, how goes? (A bit of a tricky day for anti-colonial dissenters.)
	9:05am Sean Fahrrad: Prufrock!
	9:05am Will the Sound Guy: Good morning Trouble and all!!! 🌞☀️🔆
	9:06am Handy Haversack: Hey hey! My T. S. Eliot impression is pretty sharp. I usually save it for April. It's a big hit with K8. Hey, TDK60. Yeah, following SM Ken's lead, my new phrase for the week is National Psychopathy Carnival Week. But I'm taking advantage of it to jump on the cheese grenade. Making a baked ziti today.
	9:06am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: hallo alle
	9:06am mariano: Ooh, this is the version where Eliot accompanied himself on a guitar, during his brief and largely forgotten beatnik phase. Hi Trouble, everyone! What's shaking, Handy?
	9:06am Handy Haversack: Do I dare to eat a peach?
	9:07am mariano: Only if you're a drowned Phoenician sailor, Handy.
	9:07am Handy Haversack: It's that thick St. Louis accent that kept him from success in the cafes of Greenwich Village.
	9:07am Zipperhead7: Howdy folks! Figures that Eliot would have aristocratic diction
	9:08am mariano: Handy: His anti-Semitism was doubtless informed by his constantly being upstaged by a young Dylan.
	9:09am Peter from Dover NJ: Good morning Trouble, thanks for keeping us company this morning.
	9:10am Braf: Choose misery, Mr. Eliot.
	9:10am Handy Haversack: Is there no tragic outcome that can't be traced back to the fickle preferences of the Beatniks?
	9:11am Braf: Cowslip's warren. Silverweed.
	9:12am The Butterman: Shall we go? You and I through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
	9:12am HyperDose: Handy's the type of guy to sneak some caramelized onions into his baked ziti 😏 Happy Spanxgiving! 🦃🍑👋🏾
	9:12am Andrea: Harold Budd really helps me listen to TS Eliot! Wonderful juxtaposition!
	9:12am Lucky: What a great voice.
	9:13am Andrea: Harold Budd probably helps everything.
	9:15am ParUbi: t.s.eliot, what a pleasant surprise!
	9:17am mariano: Eliot's readings of Four Quartets are also really good, and there's an excellent reading by Alec Guinness that I found on Soundcloud. Of course, I could listen to Alec Guinness reading actuarial tables.
	9:17am (Murakami Whywolf))): Spaulding Gray, I think it was, described hearing the Eliot recording coming out of dorm rooms filled with 'coeds' who claimed not want to die virginal during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Note the St Louis similarities to Burroughs' declamatory voice, or maybe Burroughs intentionally aped his a bit, or maybe that's just how U.S. private schools taught it 1866-1950.
	9:17am Webhamster Henry: Good morning, thanks giving modern worlders!
	9:18am Mike W.: Well i will say that i am Grateful
	9:20am Mike W.: for This
	9:21am waters7: is this live? are you really here? I am. not teaching today. woop woop
	9:21am YETI BOB: Murakami: You are spot-on with the Eliot-Burroughs connection. The word that comes it mind is "patrician". I think it may also be relevant that they both attended Harvard, and Eliot was from a prominent "Boston brahmin" family.
	9:21am Andrea: me too... Grateful for This (Mike W)
	9:22am YETI BOB: (comes to mind, not "comes it mind")
	9:22am Handy Haversack: Mike W., hope the Field is filled with peace today.
	9:22am sydnius: Coring 🍎 and vibing to this mood ❤️
	9:23am mariano: Murakami: I think in Eliot's case it's also a matter of "more English than the English." As soon as he got there, he went full native (to be fair, it was his heritage): the poshest accent, the most conservative monarchist politics, the high-churchiest Anglo-Catholicism, etc. Kind of like a more genteel version of Americans who go to Ireland with the "Kiss Me I'm Irish" sweaters.
	9:23am Zinn The Mood: Greetings fellow Troublemakers. No turkey for me either, Handy.
	9:23am Andrea: To furkey or not to furkey...
	9:26am Dave in Vermont: thanks for being here, Trouble
	9:28am Listener Gregory: Great opening set, Trouble! Thanks for coming in on Thanksgiving.
	9:29am Helen: Really, really appreciating your show today. Thank you.
	9:29am Handy Haversack: Mariano, have you ever read the Small Change books by Jo Walton? Farthing, Ha'Penny, and Half a Crown. England going full fascist in WWII. Shows the people Eliot wanted to find acceptance from in full flower. Still. That creep can roll.
	9:29am Andrea: yes! Thank you Trouble!!! Thanksgiving already feels more spacious.
	9:33am melinda: good for you, Trub! stay home and have a nicer time
	9:35am Sarah in Michigan: You’re the best Trouble! Thanks for hanging with us today
	9:37am lpfnrobin: Happy Thanksgiving Trouble! Stay here and make more trouble with folks who like trouble over the air!!
	9:38am greek girl: We are your family and we love you. You rock our hearts with joy and humor. Merci beaucoup!
	9:39am Corey in Tempe: This track is sooo good!
	9:40am NYsoul living in another place: I love ya Ms. Trouble! One of my favorite DJs , you have flawless musical taste!! We love you here for Thanksgiving, how dare anyone not like you! :) You are appreciated, I mean it
	9:40am Will: PIE-r-square? Subtle T-Day dinner reference?
	9:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy Thankstrouble and welcome, Holiday Gift Buying Season!
	9:43am DJ Guin: I am picturing the moment when Jesus© appeared riding a Unicorn to the Native Americans whilst carrying a turkey. 'Murica. 🍗 🦄
	9:43am chresti: Morning Trouble and trouble makers! I'm all for ditching the turkey thing today! Although I'm the lone TG dissenter in the family circle today,
	9:44am TDK60: Chresti of the westy. Pass the smashed potatoes?..
	9:44am Handy Haversack: It's a lonely road, chresti. At least it comes with dinner.
	9:45am mariano: Handy: I have not, but they sound really interesting. Makes me think of the 1995 film adaptation of Richard III, with Ian McKellen playing the lead as a fascist leader in 30s Britain. And yes, no doubting Eliot's talent and seismic importance, he was my gateway drug to poetry in general when I was a teen.
	9:48am Webhamster Henry: I shall wear my trousers rolled.
	9:49am chresti: TDK60 of the NYC! I think there will be roasted brussels sprouts, mmmmmm
	9:49am Zinn The Mood: “Capital gains remain a mystery.” Heh… Really digging this album you’ve been playing tracks from.
	9:50am Strandlund: Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Trouble!!
	9:50am DJ Guin: Brussel sprouts taste bitter and angry like your aunt who got stood up at the Altar
	9:50am TDK60: I'll tuck my napkin in my shirt for brussels sprouts, roasted. Please...
	9:52am mariano: chresti:"I think there will be roasted brussels sprouts" is like a line right out of an Eliot poem, I can just hear him reading it! Nice bit of iambic pentameter there, ma'am.
	9:54am chresti: Handy, that's right, and pie! The main event will be gathering with Franco and his sister and brother-in-law in the family house w/o parents for the first time in a couple years? Ha thanks mariano!
	9:55am Andy: Hi Trouble, I love your show!!! You asked what anyone was doing about e-bikes. There's a package of legislation in NYS Senate dealing with the issues: https://www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/simcha-felder/felder-nyc-wild-wild-west
	9:56am Trouble: double thanks@andy!!!
	9:58am Andy: Plus one to require insurance: https://www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/simcha-felder/felder-insure-every-legal-vehicle-nyc-streets
	9:58am Zinn The Mood: Am in the park on a bench on a lovely sunny and crisp day. Looking up from a book to see the eastward moving waters in the channel of the East River moving out to the LI Sound. Sipping espresso with chicory while listening and reading passages from Upton Sinclair’s “Cry For Justice,” the introduction for which was written by comrade Jack London. Excellent poem by a Percy Adams Hutchinson (American poet 1875-1952) followed by a quote from a writer Henry A. Overstreet (born the same year) that is just hitting the spot right now. Much like your set, Trouble, and the company here …
	9:58am lpfnrobin: oh man.....well its was bound to happen I suppose.
	10:00am Bobby K: Thanks for being here, Trouble. Appreciate you!
	10:00am Dave in Vermont: Purple sadness is the sadness of classical music and eggplant, the stroke of midnight, human organs, ports cut off for part of every year, words with too many meanings, incense, insomnia, and the crescent moon. It is the sadness of play money, and icebergs seen from a canoe. It is possible to dance to purple sadness, though slowly, as slowly as it takes to dig a pit to hold a sleeping giant. Purple sadness is pervasive, and goes deeper into the interior than the world’s greatest nickel deposits, or any other sadness on earth. It is the sadness of depositories, and heels echoing down a long corridor, it is the sound of your mother closing the door at night, leaving you alone. -Mary Ruefle from My Private Property (p 37)
	10:00am Handy Haversack: I will be pan-searing and spicifying some Brussels sprouts for appearances' sake. Not to be too negative, but that NYS bill sounds like total posturing and shifting the problem to users, not manufacturers. It will squeeze the people who can least afford it and who need those bikes to make a living and will make no difference to anyone else. Go after the manufacturers and the Silicon Valley venture-capital architects of the gig economy if you want to make a difference, O legislators. But all they want to do is posture. Antiworker regulations only hurt the workers, it turns out. Zinn, Astoria?
	10:00am Irene Trudel: Trouble, I'm thankful for your lovely soundtrack to my last-minute baking this morning-- and for your musical choices every week!
	10:00am mariano: Ok, gotta get myself dolled up for Thanksgiving at my cousin's house. Thank you, Trouble, happy holiday to you and all!
	10:00am Webhamster Henry: In case Trouble doesn't find those Scoolhouse Rock CDs, here's Irene's show with an excellent Dave Frishberg set: www.wfmu.org...
	10:03am Webhamster Henry: I'm with Handy - bike "accidents" are mostly murder by automobile. There's a great amount of education on all sides that's needed. There's an interesting question up here in Kingston which has some new bike paths: should electrics be allowed on them? Stretches of some of them are part of the Empire State Trail system.
	10:04am Irene Trudel: Greatly appreciated, WHenry!
	10:07am Dave in Vermont: To oversimplify it, there's plenty of rooms for all public transpo, freight, skateboards, bikes etc etc when we get rid of private cars (making some exceptions of course)
	10:07am chresti: Thanks Trouble!
	10:09am listener james from westwood: Ohhhhh, good heavens, 21 years! Happy big birthday to DJ Icepack. Also I seem to recall this from waaaay back in the day and now I must crumble into dust.
	10:10am Layet Johnson: Wow! DJ Ice Pack’s awesome. Nice to hear him now and then through the years on the program.
	10:10am Andres: Good morning! Think of the chickens on this Thanksgiving day.
	10:14am Glorious Estephonic: <3 <3 <3
	10:14am Zinn The Mood: Thanks as always for the Black Panther stuff! Have you read “Black Against Empire”? The introduction was riveting. Has Huey Newton and (I think) Bobby Seale coming down the airliner staircase of a plane just landed in Peking (maybe) to a throng of love from Communist China. Preempting Nixon’s visit as the first American emissaries during the Cold War. Just before the pandemic I had to return it to the library and didn’t get to read the rest. Think I must have it for my own library.
	10:17am Zinn The Mood: Handy, you are dude who knows his Gotham geography. Brussels sprouts also on menu for today.
	10:19am NYsoul living in another place: @ZinnTheMood: OH what a lovely magical moment
	10:20am Trouble: @nysoullivinginanotherplace: merci for your earlier written kind words
	10:22am Trouble: because DJ icepack is home and he is the ace tortilla cook we are having pozole today, no turkey for us
	10:23am Megaroni: Tanti Grazie for you Signora Trouble:), Happy Thanks to you and yours
	10:23am JOYofit: Trouble, so much gratitude to hear your choice of sounds this morning. Since going back to the real classroom world I don’t get tolisten during the week. I fr
	10:23am Webhamster Henry: Daniel Schmidt is really good! .. you may also want to check out the Cork Gamelan Ensemble, played on ARBitrarium last week . www.wfmu.org...
	10:25am Mike W.: i got my bluetoof speaker set at a sound synchronous with the soft song of celebratory suburbia
	10:27am Trouble: greetings@JOYofit. back in the classroom is something, isn't it? I am thrilled to be back there but exhausted in a whole new way from teaching virtually last year plus. how about you? My students are exhausted too
	10:28am Zipperhead7: @Mike W: Yes -- 60-cycle hum and the drone of softy whirring appliances
	10:32am redkayak: Happy Thanksgiving all!
	10:36am Elizabeth: greetings from central Mexico... and I give you USians permission not to be grateful for anything at all today!
	10:42am lpfnrobin: Whelp Im taking Trouble with me on my electric bike ride. Luckily I don't need a license to operate my electric can opener.
	10:43am Handy Haversack: ¡Gracias, Elizabeth! The kittens just smashed my coffee glass. So that's going well.
	10:45am Andrea: the kittens!
	10:47am oshiwoshi: tell us about elsa hewitt
	10:50am listener james from westwood: @Handy: I mentally rejoined "The kittens just smashed my coffee glass" with "And Whitey's on the moon." I blame WFMU.
	10:51am headcleaner: mi piace molto
	10:51am Trouble: @oshiwoshi: i can't offer much: she's from london, that is all i see
	10:52am Andres: Were that about chipmunks in one's garden?
	10:52am Handy Haversack: Ha, that's what we call a good problem to have, James! Andrea: www.wfmu.org...
	10:58am Pascal: Hello Trouble, beautiful show, a big Merci and happy Thanksgurning from France!
	10:58am Mark: yes. La ragazza con la pistola. And she sing in broken sicilian
	11:01am HyperDose: This is great squatting music
	11:01am Andy: Because Trouble asked about the topic, Prospect Park in Brooklyn recently posted signs saying “No motorized or electric bikes, scooters and ATVs” allowed in the park. Now all that has to happen is following the rules.
	11:02am Andres: Digging this dub! I like it with the vocals as well.
	11:03am morphe': Good choice !!! Factoid: UB 40 is/was/is the Form and the card given when signing on Unemployment in the UK.. Not sure it is still in use .. had one when squatting London in the late '80s
	11:04am common: Trouble! All

	11:08am Stanley: morphe' - that is correct but replaced a long time ago. Made famous during the Thatcher years when millions lost their jobs.
	11:09am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): TDK60: yeahhhhh
	11:10am morphe': Stanley - yes .. the good old/bad old days !!!!! It was actually an amazing time - though terribly rough for many !!!
	11:12am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Baba Bee. Hoping all is calm & peaceful on yonder island.

	11:14am gfgjhj: is alices restaurant getting played at noon today

	11:22am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Ken From Hyde Park: hi, thank you. There's a wind ruffling the firs and a mug of hot chai at hand—feeling cozy. Hope all is as well as can be in your realm. gfgjhj: oh, cool! my mama's name was Alica and she LOVED that song and sang the refrain frequently.
	11:22am morphe': TDK - thinking early spring may be better for the group?? Ya are always welcome... we talk ... I'm off for now.. Thanks Trouble and all !!!
	11:24am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): that's Alice, of course. She'd always sing, "You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant—except Alice!" <3

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.

	9:10am Braf: Choose misery, Mr. Eliot.
	9:10am Handy Haversack: Is there no tragic outcome that can't be traced back to the fickle preferences of the Beatniks?
	9:11am Braf: Cowslip's warren. Silverweed.
	9:12am The Butterman: Shall we go? You and I through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
	9:12am HyperDose: Handy's the type of guy to sneak some caramelized onions into his baked ziti 😏 Happy Spanxgiving! 🦃🍑👋🏾
	9:12am Andrea: Harold Budd really helps me listen to TS Eliot! Wonderful juxtaposition!
	9:12am Lucky: What a great voice.
	9:13am Andrea: Harold Budd probably helps everything.
	9:15am ParUbi: t.s.eliot, what a pleasant surprise!
	9:17am mariano: Eliot's readings of Four Quartets are also really good, and there's an excellent reading by Alec Guinness that I found on Soundcloud. Of course, I could listen to Alec Guinness reading actuarial tables.
	9:17am (Murakami Whywolf))): Spaulding Gray, I think it was, described hearing the Eliot recording coming out of dorm rooms filled with 'coeds' who claimed not want to die virginal during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Note the St Louis similarities to Burroughs' declamatory voice, or maybe Burroughs intentionally aped his a bit, or maybe that's just how U.S. private schools taught it 1866-1950.
	9:17am Webhamster Henry: Good morning, thanks giving modern worlders!
	9:18am Mike W.: Well i will say that i am Grateful
	9:20am Mike W.: for This
	9:21am waters7: is this live? are you really here? I am. not teaching today. woop woop
	9:21am YETI BOB: Murakami: You are spot-on with the Eliot-Burroughs connection. The word that comes it mind is "patrician". I think it may also be relevant that they both attended Harvard, and Eliot was from a prominent "Boston brahmin" family.
	9:21am Andrea: me too... Grateful for This (Mike W)
	9:22am YETI BOB: (comes to mind, not "comes it mind")
	9:22am Handy Haversack: Mike W., hope the Field is filled with peace today.
	9:22am sydnius: Coring 🍎 and vibing to this mood ❤️
	9:23am mariano: Murakami: I think in Eliot's case it's also a matter of "more English than the English." As soon as he got there, he went full native (to be fair, it was his heritage): the poshest accent, the most conservative monarchist politics, the high-churchiest Anglo-Catholicism, etc. Kind of like a more genteel version of Americans who go to Ireland with the "Kiss Me I'm Irish" sweaters.
	9:23am Zinn The Mood: Greetings fellow Troublemakers. No turkey for me either, Handy.
	9:23am Andrea: To furkey or not to furkey...
	9:26am Dave in Vermont: thanks for being here, Trouble
	9:28am Listener Gregory: Great opening set, Trouble! Thanks for coming in on Thanksgiving.
	9:29am Helen: Really, really appreciating your show today. Thank you.
	9:29am Handy Haversack: Mariano, have you ever read the Small Change books by Jo Walton? Farthing, Ha'Penny, and Half a Crown. England going full fascist in WWII. Shows the people Eliot wanted to find acceptance from in full flower. Still. That creep can roll.
	9:29am Andrea: yes! Thank you Trouble!!! Thanksgiving already feels more spacious.
	9:33am melinda: good for you, Trub! stay home and have a nicer time
	9:35am Sarah in Michigan: You’re the best Trouble! Thanks for hanging with us today
	9:37am lpfnrobin: Happy Thanksgiving Trouble! Stay here and make more trouble with folks who like trouble over the air!!
	9:38am greek girl: We are your family and we love you. You rock our hearts with joy and humor. Merci beaucoup!
	9:39am Corey in Tempe: This track is sooo good!
	9:40am NYsoul living in another place: I love ya Ms. Trouble! One of my favorite DJs , you have flawless musical taste!! We love you here for Thanksgiving, how dare anyone not like you! :) You are appreciated, I mean it
	9:40am Will: PIE-r-square? Subtle T-Day dinner reference?
	9:42am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy Thankstrouble and welcome, Holiday Gift Buying Season!
	9:43am DJ Guin: I am picturing the moment when Jesus© appeared riding a Unicorn to the Native Americans whilst carrying a turkey. 'Murica. 🍗 🦄
	9:43am chresti: Morning Trouble and trouble makers! I'm all for ditching the turkey thing today! Although I'm the lone TG dissenter in the family circle today,
	9:44am TDK60: Chresti of the westy. Pass the smashed potatoes?..
	9:44am Handy Haversack: It's a lonely road, chresti. At least it comes with dinner.
	9:45am mariano: Handy: I have not, but they sound really interesting. Makes me think of the 1995 film adaptation of Richard III, with Ian McKellen playing the lead as a fascist leader in 30s Britain. And yes, no doubting Eliot's talent and seismic importance, he was my gateway drug to poetry in general when I was a teen.
	9:48am Webhamster Henry: I shall wear my trousers rolled.
	9:49am chresti: TDK60 of the NYC! I think there will be roasted brussels sprouts, mmmmmm
	9:49am Zinn The Mood: “Capital gains remain a mystery.” Heh… Really digging this album you’ve been playing tracks from.
	9:50am Strandlund: Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Trouble!!
	9:50am DJ Guin: Brussel sprouts taste bitter and angry like your aunt who got stood up at the Altar
	9:50am TDK60: I'll tuck my napkin in my shirt for brussels sprouts, roasted. Please...
	9:52am mariano: chresti:"I think there will be roasted brussels sprouts" is like a line right out of an Eliot poem, I can just hear him reading it! Nice bit of iambic pentameter there, ma'am.
	9:54am chresti: Handy, that's right, and pie! The main event will be gathering with Franco and his sister and brother-in-law in the family house w/o parents for the first time in a couple years? Ha thanks mariano!
	9:55am Andy: Hi Trouble, I love your show!!! You asked what anyone was doing about e-bikes. There's a package of legislation in NYS Senate dealing with the issues: https://www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/simcha-felder/felder-nyc-wild-wild-west
	9:56am Trouble: double thanks@andy!!!
	9:58am Andy: Plus one to require insurance: https://www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/simcha-felder/felder-insure-every-legal-vehicle-nyc-streets
	9:58am Zinn The Mood: Am in the park on a bench on a lovely sunny and crisp day. Looking up from a book to see the eastward moving waters in the channel of the East River moving out to the LI Sound. Sipping espresso with chicory while listening and reading passages from Upton Sinclair’s “Cry For Justice,” the introduction for which was written by comrade Jack London. Excellent poem by a Percy Adams Hutchinson (American poet 1875-1952) followed by a quote from a writer Henry A. Overstreet (born the same year) that is just hitting the spot right now. Much like your set, Trouble, and the company here …
	9:58am lpfnrobin: oh man.....well its was bound to happen I suppose.
	10:00am Bobby K: Thanks for being here, Trouble. Appreciate you!
	10:00am Dave in Vermont: Purple sadness is the sadness of classical music and eggplant, the stroke of midnight, human organs, ports cut off for part of every year, words with too many meanings, incense, insomnia, and the crescent moon. It is the sadness of play money, and icebergs seen from a canoe. It is possible to dance to purple sadness, though slowly, as slowly as it takes to dig a pit to hold a sleeping giant. Purple sadness is pervasive, and goes deeper into the interior than the world’s greatest nickel deposits, or any other sadness on earth. It is the sadness of depositories, and heels echoing down a long corridor, it is the sound of your mother closing the door at night, leaving you alone. -Mary Ruefle from My Private Property (p 37)
	10:00am Handy Haversack: I will be pan-searing and spicifying some Brussels sprouts for appearances' sake. Not to be too negative, but that NYS bill sounds like total posturing and shifting the problem to users, not manufacturers. It will squeeze the people who can least afford it and who need those bikes to make a living and will make no difference to anyone else. Go after the manufacturers and the Silicon Valley venture-capital architects of the gig economy if you want to make a difference, O legislators. But all they want to do is posture. Antiworker regulations only hurt the workers, it turns out. Zinn, Astoria?
	10:00am Irene Trudel: Trouble, I'm thankful for your lovely soundtrack to my last-minute baking this morning-- and for your musical choices every week!
	10:00am mariano: Ok, gotta get myself dolled up for Thanksgiving at my cousin's house. Thank you, Trouble, happy holiday to you and all!
	10:00am Webhamster Henry: In case Trouble doesn't find those Scoolhouse Rock CDs, here's Irene's show with an excellent Dave Frishberg set: www.wfmu.org...
	10:03am Webhamster Henry: I'm with Handy - bike "accidents" are mostly murder by automobile. There's a great amount of education on all sides that's needed. There's an interesting question up here in Kingston which has some new bike paths: should electrics be allowed on them? Stretches of some of them are part of the Empire State Trail system.
	10:04am Irene Trudel: Greatly appreciated, WHenry!
	10:07am Dave in Vermont: To oversimplify it, there's plenty of rooms for all public transpo, freight, skateboards, bikes etc etc when we get rid of private cars (making some exceptions of course)
	10:07am chresti: Thanks Trouble!
	10:09am listener james from westwood: Ohhhhh, good heavens, 21 years! Happy big birthday to DJ Icepack. Also I seem to recall this from waaaay back in the day and now I must crumble into dust.
	10:10am Layet Johnson: Wow! DJ Ice Pack’s awesome. Nice to hear him now and then through the years on the program.
	10:10am Andres: Good morning! Think of the chickens on this Thanksgiving day.
	10:14am Glorious Estephonic: <3 <3 <3
	10:14am Zinn The Mood: Thanks as always for the Black Panther stuff! Have you read “Black Against Empire”? The introduction was riveting. Has Huey Newton and (I think) Bobby Seale coming down the airliner staircase of a plane just landed in Peking (maybe) to a throng of love from Communist China. Preempting Nixon’s visit as the first American emissaries during the Cold War. Just before the pandemic I had to return it to the library and didn’t get to read the rest. Think I must have it for my own library.
	10:17am Zinn The Mood: Handy, you are dude who knows his Gotham geography. Brussels sprouts also on menu for today.
	10:19am NYsoul living in another place: @ZinnTheMood: OH what a lovely magical moment
	10:20am Trouble: @nysoullivinginanotherplace: merci for your earlier written kind words
	10:22am Trouble: because DJ icepack is home and he is the ace tortilla cook we are having pozole today, no turkey for us
	10:23am Megaroni: Tanti Grazie for you Signora Trouble:), Happy Thanks to you and yours
	10:23am JOYofit: Trouble, so much gratitude to hear your choice of sounds this morning. Since going back to the real classroom world I don’t get tolisten during the week. I fr
	10:23am Webhamster Henry: Daniel Schmidt is really good! .. you may also want to check out the Cork Gamelan Ensemble, played on ARBitrarium last week . www.wfmu.org...
	10:25am Mike W.: i got my bluetoof speaker set at a sound synchronous with the soft song of celebratory suburbia
	10:27am Trouble: greetings@JOYofit. back in the classroom is something, isn't it? I am thrilled to be back there but exhausted in a whole new way from teaching virtually last year plus. how about you? My students are exhausted too
	10:28am Zipperhead7: @Mike W: Yes -- 60-cycle hum and the drone of softy whirring appliances
	10:32am redkayak: Happy Thanksgiving all!
	10:36am Elizabeth: greetings from central Mexico... and I give you USians permission not to be grateful for anything at all today!
	10:42am lpfnrobin: Whelp Im taking Trouble with me on my electric bike ride. Luckily I don't need a license to operate my electric can opener.
	10:43am Handy Haversack: ¡Gracias, Elizabeth! The kittens just smashed my coffee glass. So that's going well.
	10:45am Andrea: the kittens!
	10:47am oshiwoshi: tell us about elsa hewitt
	10:50am listener james from westwood: @Handy: I mentally rejoined "The kittens just smashed my coffee glass" with "And Whitey's on the moon." I blame WFMU.
	10:51am headcleaner: mi piace molto
	10:51am Trouble: @oshiwoshi: i can't offer much: she's from london, that is all i see
	10:52am Andres: Were that about chipmunks in one's garden?
	10:52am Handy Haversack: Ha, that's what we call a good problem to have, James! Andrea: www.wfmu.org...
	10:58am Pascal: Hello Trouble, beautiful show, a big Merci and happy Thanksgurning from France!
	10:58am Mark: yes. La ragazza con la pistola. And she sing in broken sicilian
	11:01am HyperDose: This is great squatting music
	11:01am Andy: Because Trouble asked about the topic, Prospect Park in Brooklyn recently posted signs saying “No motorized or electric bikes, scooters and ATVs” allowed in the park. Now all that has to happen is following the rules.
	11:02am Andres: Digging this dub! I like it with the vocals as well.
	11:03am morphe': Good choice !!! Factoid: UB 40 is/was/is the Form and the card given when signing on Unemployment in the UK.. Not sure it is still in use .. had one when squatting London in the late '80s
	11:04am common: Trouble! All

	11:08am Stanley: morphe' - that is correct but replaced a long time ago. Made famous during the Thatcher years when millions lost their jobs.
	11:09am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): TDK60: yeahhhhh
	11:10am morphe': Stanley - yes .. the good old/bad old days !!!!! It was actually an amazing time - though terribly rough for many !!!
	11:12am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Baba Bee. Hoping all is calm & peaceful on yonder island.

	11:16am TDK60: Morphe, sounds good. No Oasis meet-up soon?
	11:22am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Ken From Hyde Park: hi, thank you. There's a wind ruffling the firs and a mug of hot chai at hand—feeling cozy. Hope all is as well as can be in your realm. gfgjhj: oh, cool! my mama's name was Alica and she LOVED that song and sang the refrain frequently.
	11:22am morphe': TDK - thinking early spring may be better for the group?? Ya are always welcome... we talk ... I'm off for now.. Thanks Trouble and all !!!
