	9:13am Ike: Sounds great!!!
	9:19am wind: Does anyone like frequenting Lincoln Center?
	9:19am S_Rah: This music is so niiiiiiicccce!
	9:20am S_Rah: sometimes my alexa misreads my voice when i say play wfmu. i thought perhaps she had tuned me into a classical station. way to go fmu:) i love it
	9:20am Handy Haversack: wind, can you provide some definitional clarity around "like" and "frequenting"?
	9:21am Creston: Omg this is beautiful
	9:22am Roberto: Morning, Trouble! I meant to say last week that your show two weeks ago had some awesomely inspirational tracks! I was driving during the show so I wasn't able to comment. Also, I looked on the Wild Bird web site you talked about but I couldn't find any info on the owl-tagging demo you attended. Do you know, was that a special event or something they offer regularly?
	9:23am wind: Oh sorry…I mean Does anyone love visiting the Lincoln Center often (or not so often) to enjoy the performances they offer?
	9:23am Sean Fahrrad: Apologies, I am not going to keep commenting all day But I spent some of my breakfast talking with a friend about how beautiful choral music is and how the voices and the breathing are in synchrony THis is a beautiful example Really great start to the show Thank you (again)
	9:25am Handy Haversack: wind: ah. I work right near there so usually skedaddle as efficiently as possible.
	9:25am Karl Ward: Plug for the lovely and free Sarum Compline concerts, happening most Sunday evenings at 9:30 at St. Paul's Chapel on the Columbia University campus: www.columbia.edu...
	9:26am Wind: This IS beautiful Creston😌
	9:26am Trouble: @roberto: wild bird research does that banding thing during migration. so it's not a constant thing
	9:28am Zipperhead7: Good morning Troubled Modernists! This is lovely melancholic music -- so appropriate for this time of year. I had to bust out the winter coat on Tuesday
	9:28am Andrea: Hi Trouble and all. I’m digging the mellow vibes this morning. Thank you!!
	9:29am Wind: 💕 Roberto it’s so good that you asked! I was actually also driving and listening that day and I meant to ask Trouble about the birding website again, as I forgot to look into it after all. 🙂
	9:29am B Wad: Special Vessels here, having a rainy day of sublime museumery in Den Haag…staying spiritually connected to all of you via the magic of the internet and my blue teeth.
	9:32am Roberto: Wind, here's the info on the owl monitoring: wildbirdresearch.org... I believe Trouble witnessed the saw-whet owl migration and banding. But as I said, there's no info on the site regarding the demo. I guess you'd have to contact them for more info.
	9:34am Wind: Thank you!
	9:35am Marley P. Dogg: Hello Trouble and all troubled youths
	9:37am Roberto: William Parker -- This is My Country was a serious bop. I had been feeling pessimistic about the upcoming midterms, and it actually picked me up.
	9:38am S_Rah: des oiseaux!!!
	9:38am Wind: Hello Marley 🖐🏾 every single One of Trouble’s choices have been incredible this morning 🥰
	9:41am Cassettivity: Great opening set :)
	9:42am Wind: I love it!
	9:43am Mice of Mu: This is the cardinalest of cardinals
	9:43am Karl Ward: I was attacked daily by a Northern Mockingbird for weeks
	9:43am Wind: Agh! I got duped into watching That stupid movie on Netflix owls attacking people!!
	9:44am Handy Haversack: And as soon as I get my Mockingbird budget line funded again, Karl Ward ...
	9:45am shumyum: Owls have big eyes so they can see in the dark better (better than hawks...)
	9:45am happymaan: Normally I go to Ursa on Double Dip Recess for my animal facts, but thank you Trouble.
	9:45am Miss G: I think I just heard that if I'm wearing my usual ponytail, that an owl will swoop down and attack me? I'm kind of afraid of birds!
	9:45am unpopularfred: perhaps these people were carrying mice in their pockets
	9:46am Miss G: It's nice to hear about Jonas Mekas on a Thursday, thank you DJ Trouble!
	9:46am Vivian: Hey happymaaan!!! Hope you are doing well! Did you guys ever get chickens?
	9:46am happymaan: 7 day till my b-day!
	9:46am Karl Ward: Cue Prof, Fuzz '63 "That Owl's a Buzzkill" prof-fuzz63.bandcamp.com...
	9:47am happymaan: My wife was previously unemployed for a bit and is now gainfully employed, I think I have a mighty nice gift coming.
	9:48am Wind: That was interesting about ponytails. Karl are you serious??? I defend wildlife every time hands down over people.
	9:49am Handy Haversack: Well, my Strength Through Failure shirt and I are off to the doctor's office. Thanks, Trouble! Stay Troubled, all.
	9:50am Karl Ward: Wind: yes, I am serious. I wasn't the only one who was attacked, my neighbor got it too.
	9:50am Wind: unpopularfred only Michael Jackson was allowed to carry a mouse in his pocket! Oh wait ….is he still alive too like JFK Jr.?
	9:51am Trouble: gracias@ roberto: the week before elections my dj plan was to be uplifting and fire-y to encourage peeps to vote! i guess it worked!
	9:51am Vivian: @Happymaaan- ah that's great news! Last time we saw you guys (over 2 years ago???) she was either looking or had a interview coming up.
	9:53am peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and People of the Thursdays
	9:53am S_Rah: salut les gens de jeudi
	9:54am rx scabin: Good morning. Waiting for 2 to 4 feet of snow here.
	9:54am Wind: Well I don’t have any idea why birds attack people. But it’s worth asking them why. The author and activist Derrick Jensen has a theory that we lost our abilities to communicate with other animals.
	9:57am happymaan: Hey ya @Vivian! She got a job about 4 months ago, she works at the place that makes elf on the shelf. She loves it there.
	9:58am chresti: hi Trouble, one thing I missed when my family moved to california was seeing cardinals.
	9:58am Karl Ward: Wind: "Mockingbirds are bold in defense of their nests, attacking cats and even humans that venture too close." www.audubon.org...
	9:59am happymaan: How are you guys doing @Vivian? I recently got my ham radio license so I'm loving geeking out with that.
	10:07am Roberto: Yes, Trouble, your plan worked! The power of people-powered music on display!
	10:07am Vivian: @happymaan- Working with Elf on the Shelf sounds like a fun job. Tell her congrats from us! And the ham radio sounds interesting. Without giving out too much details, what are the convos like?
	10:09am BnowB: Oh Trouble, Thank you for saving me from hateful Twitter. I love birding and im gonna go on a nature walk with my binoculars now. Your show is amazing! <3
	10:09am chresti: We got the California blue jays instead.
	10:09am happymaan: The ham radio conversations? They tend to talk about ham radio a lot...but it's fun they have a system called echolink so I can connect to a repeater to most any country in the world and then transmit from it as if I was there and talk to locals. Also I meet with the Atlanta Radio Club for lunch, it's a bunch of retired engineers and professors. It's a fun group.
	10:09am dougseidel: @happymaan - My experience trying to find interesting people to talk to on the ham radio - so many super right wing/survivalist dudes out there. Do you find that?
	10:09am Vivian: Feel like I'm intruding on someone's privacy, then again if it's on ham radio, probably not private.
	10:10am the Woofer!: i'm delusional or trouble used to dj on vkr back in the day
	10:11am jake: DJ Trouble! Good seeing you at our neighborhood assoc. meeting the other night—my friend and I were talking about right to counsel here in JC :) amazing show this morning
	10:11am happymaan: Everything on ham radio is public and can not be encrypted/obscured and you need to say your callsign at the beginning of every conversation and once someone has your callsign it's trivial to get their name and address.
	10:13am Trouble: call your nj legislators to urge passage of the temporary workers bill of rights: A1474/SS11 THANKS! www.christmasbirdcount.org
	10:14am Phillippe: Nice pet shop boys
	10:14am disco_nap_: Saw PSB at Barclay's in Sept and it was fab!
	10:14am happymaan: @doug Yes there are...there are a lot of reasons to get into ham radio. Prepping/emergency communication draws a lot of people into it...it is dominated by old white guys but luckily not exclusively. We really do try to reach out to get young people involved. If a kid were in high school the amount of scholarships they can apply for just by having a ham license is insane. So many of those go unclaimed.
	10:14am Trouble: Hey Jake! thanks for that presentation!! do you have a link you can post here?
	10:14am Andres: PSB!!!
	10:14am happymaan: Thanks for The Pet Shop Boys!
	10:16am Wind: Will call Trouble! Thanks ♥️ Karl I don’t doubt that birds protect their nests and attack In defense of their families. I would too.
	10:16am Barney Grubbs: We had a great horned owl in our LI backyard a few weeks ago and it seemed to be having a strange conversation with a neighbor's barking dog--the dog would bark and then the owl would respond with some eerie vocalizations. I am now glad I was not wearing a ponytail.
	10:16am chresti: *the CA jays used to attack my little brother's blonde hair when they were nesting, much like mocking birds
	10:17am Zipperhead7: One of the things I like best about Trouble's show is the flow. It's quite a transition from chamber music to the Pet Shop Boys, but here it makes perfect, organic sense
	10:17am Jason from Houston: Gooooood morning.
	10:18am Wind: Lol Barney! Ponytails are for indoor only😂
	10:18am jake: Yes! Check out https://righttocounseljc.org to sign the petition for housing justice and learn more! Shout out to the temp workers bill too ✊
	10:18am Phillippe: we have the opposite problem here -- we have a too-friendly long billed marsh wren that likes to hang out on the wreath on the front door and then fliy in the house when we open it.
	10:18am ?: Hey Trouble, hey everybody. Enjoying the show, busy at work. I've been chased by birds for my hair, attacked I should say, in front of a small crowd @)
	10:19am rx scabin: @Zipperhead7 and Trouble manages to beat match it all.
	10:20am BnowB: today congress can make gay marriage legal for good ... lets hope
	10:20am mb: Are suet cakes not the preferred snack for birds in the Fall? Mine has nary been touched.
	10:21am captain beef fart: We have lots of owls in the woods around my house in Baltimore. One recently perched in a cedar feet from our front door and hooted so loud it freaked out the cats. Never been attacked by an owl but had a red tailed hawk swoop at me last week.
	10:21am chresti: a nesting hawk swooped a woman with a blonde ponytail while she was playing tennis, where I work
	10:22am BnowB: Heading to the Montclair Hawk watch now. I'll be listening, ty Trouble.
	10:22am Jason from Houston: HELL YES
	10:24am PaulRobeson1922: <3 Wear yer Love Like Heaven <3
	10:24am Trouble: yes!!@BnowB! fingers crossed!
	10:24am BnowB: love is love
	10:24am chresti: BnowB if you like hawks you'd LOVE Griffith Park.
	10:26am BnowB: I'm on foot today but Griffith park is awesome! Sorry I missed the latest birding adventure with y'all my buddy Kevin was there and I got the scoop. lol cheers everyone much love
	10:26am SSS: I'm with the bird.
	10:26am Roberto: Note to self: spend moar time in Griffith Park next L.A. trip.
	10:27am Phillippe: I always thought all owls "hooted" until we moved to our current home. We had some barred owls that definitely were calling and not hooting
	10:28am Wind: Bye BnowB
	10:29am PaulRobeson1922: that sounded good
	10:29am McGroovey: I liked it fast. I mean, it's good slow, too, but
	10:29am rx scabin: I am sorry that I jinxed you, Trouble.
	10:29am rx scabin: Re: beat matching.
	10:30am Hydroplane: I'll always be mystified that this band was from Ringwood, NJ. As someone who grew up near there I'm upset that I learned this way too late.
	10:31am Wind: Phillippe, that funny too-friendly long billed marsh wren is uninvited! wow, imagining that is funny! But not funny, I'm sure, for you guys IRL!
	10:32am Tome: Morning Trouble and everyone too !<>!
	10:33am Trouble: haha! @rx I can make a mess of it all by myself. why do you think i am called trouble?into every dj's life a little wrong speed shall fall
	10:36am Wind: I actually LOVED hearing it both ways! So thanks:)
	10:44am northguineahills: that mckenzie!
	10:46am Crownless Gander: This song is so joyfully threatening.
	10:47am Robm: Hello trouble and fellow troublemakers on this cold day
	10:47am Zipperhead7: In the event that there are any Prince fans in the house, I just stumbled across a great web page: en.apoplife.nl... I've been grabbing stuff like crazy off Youtube in the event that his estate clamps down
	10:48am Trouble: candy mckenzie talking about making it in the reggae scene trojanrecords.com...
	10:55am Rich in Washington: Oh god. I just got to work after listening on my commute and put WFMU on VLC on my work machine. For some reason, the playback speed was automatically set to slow and for several minutes thought that Trouble was playing stuff at the wrong speed on purpose.
	10:57am Andres: Great article, Trouble. i’m glad she found joy in the music making despite the obstacles. One can definitely hear it in that track.
	10:58am Zipperhead7: Hi Rich! Chopped 'n' screwed is a weird way to start the day
	11:00am Rich in Washington: Love VLC as a stream player - trying to get away from Apple's Music (frmly iTunes) app as much as possible - but VLC really demands that you pay attention. For instance, you can pause a webstream.
	11:02am agav bond: whoever is spinning is killing it
	11:03am rx scabin: @Rich in Washington foobar 2000 is worth checking out (Window$l. Good music library management, too. Rhythmbox on linux is good too.
	11:07am disco_nap_: Does mushroom coffee mean mud water?
	11:08am McGroovey: Mushroom coffee? I guess I don't understand the concept.
	11:08am Yetz: VLC FTW!
	11:08am chresti: mmmmmushrooms!
	11:08am Roberto: I've seen that mushroom coffee in health food stores. We don't like mushrooms so we're assuming we wouldn't like the coffee, either.
	11:08am Yetz: I drink mushroom tea sometimes but that's something else ...
	11:09am rx scabin: Greensleeves has many good entry point records.
	11:09am chresti: most of the mushroom coffee I see have coffee in it
	11:10am chresti: eartha kitt is awesome!
	11:11am Barney Grubbs: Wind, I think if I were to wear a ponytail indoors, the dog (and the teenager) would regard me with uncomfortable levels of suspicion, so I try to avoid them all together.
	11:11am McGroovey: Eartha Kitt: another reason to love the Adam West-era Batman
	11:11am agav bond: I missed that chopped and screwed joint...
	11:12am Bill K: New School part-time faculty (myself included) are on strike right now, too! Come cheer us on as we picket at 13th street and 5th avenue if you're passing through the Union Square area.
	11:12am chresti: haha
	11:12am Wind: Good thinking Barney!
	11:12am jeffehombre: you are killing it lover’s rock nice
	11:13am Andres: Barney: A bun then.
	11:13am TimSF: Hey trouble: just checked in; as I scrolled down I said" I know this artist" I follow him on insta and I like his stuff a lot. Thanks...OK, now on to the music.
	11:13am Wind: Lol a bun (man or woman) looks exactly like a nest!
	11:13am HotTopicValuedCustomer: @Bill is there a strike fund people could donate to?
	11:14am Barney Grubbs: Andres, a barn in a bun is never no fun
	11:14am Miss G: Bill K if I were there, I would join you. Something's gotta give with your situation. I went to the New School for a year a long time ago. Then UVA, where right now, other things have to change. . .
	11:15am disco_nap_: Go Bill K, go!!
	11:15am egould: The anti-disco demonstrations (like the Chicago White Sox promotion) of the late 70’s and other were rooted in anti-gay sentiment. Disco was popular in the gay club scene, and club scenes in general. However, morons focused on the “gay” element and lashed out against disco. Pretty stupid really.
	11:16am Trouble: GO @BilllK!!!
	11:17am Trouble: good point@ egould. horrible all around!
	11:19am rx scabin: Good luck, Bill K.
	11:20am rx scabin: Thank you for your efforts, Trouble. I must go out into the snow to oick up my younger daughter from the train station.
	11:21am Trouble: good luck@rx!
	11:21am rx scabin: Pick not oick though oick should be a word. It rolls off the tongue. Try it.
	11:23am northguineahills: @egould: i've been reading a lot about that. It wasn't just gay clubs, but clubs that attracted people of color as well.... (especially in Chicago, Detroit, NYC, etc)
	11:25am Sean Fahrrad: Back to movie soundtrack vibe....
	11:27am northguineahills: we can always use some more rita lee...
	11:27am Sean Fahrrad: 'Oik' is a word.... in England
	11:27am PaulRobeson1922: ; )
	11:28am Yetz: egould: The Disco Demolition was ignorant, hateful and embarrassing. A stain on the history of my city. But I think it's reductive and unfair to say that all disco hating was homophobic. The music was way overhyped, overexposed, overexploited, and a lot of it was frankly terrible. Some people just hated it on aesthetic grounds.
	11:29am Wind: oiK is a word??!
	11:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning! I am no early bird today, it seems.
	11:30am PaulRobeson1922: Os Mutantes- the dirt in my hand - was is and always shall be
	11:30am Chris Hiatt: My crew listened to a lot of Os Mutantes during the college years. Didn't really know much about Gal Costa until last week! Sort of missed that they were both part of the Tropicalia movement until I did a deep dive during the tributes that happened after GC passed.
	11:31am Trouble: the same can be said for rock and it never provoked that kind of hatred @yetz.
	11:33am Crownless Gander: I think there might've been some early fear, too, of the DJ taking over as celebrity from the musician. Rock fans heard disco as overly processed, soulless, and repetitive, because they didn't consider the ability to make people dance a worthwhile consideration in the judgment of popular music.
	11:33am Karl Ward: Trouble: exactly. Disco was arguably much more transgressive and challenging than punk. Note that like disco, punk was also quickly sanitized into consumer friendly products while its underground scene kept pushing the boundaries.
	11:34am Crownless Gander: But yeah, definitely mixed with homophobia and racism and just plain fear of the new.
	11:34am Sean Fahrrad: It is not a very nice word But it is in usage oik (ɔɪk) n derogatory slang Brit a person regarded as inferior because ignorant, ill-educated, or lower-class
	11:34am northguineahills: @yetz: by the time of the disco demolition, that is true, but in the origins of disco the music was amazing (and then you have the overseas variants (ie: Italia)).
	11:34am Roberto: RIP Hogan's Heroes star Robert Clary -- I just realized he was once married to my sister-in-law's husband's cousin's husband's aunt. He also came to speak at my school circa 1982 regarding his Holocaust experiences.
	11:35am HotTopicValuedCustomer: disco good
	11:35am tadpoles: Thanks for playing Syd Trouble. Always good to hear. Cheers
	11:35am steveo: Hi sorry I'm so late! Have you seen the new Harriet Tubman/Undergound Railroad mural in Berry Lane Park? It's spectacular! imgur.com... (We did I long walk in J.C. and Hoboken -- also my first time in the Heights -- lovely hood :)
	11:37am Trouble: the same can be said for rock and it never provoked that kind of hatred @yetz.
	11:37am Harktheumpire: So Broadcasty. Lovely!
	11:39am Dano59: groovy Dick Hyman, superspy
	11:40am Yetz: I'm not trying to argue, I think you all are 100% right. I am just remembering growing up in the NJ suburbs in the 70s and hearing a lot of really terrible disco, everywhere you went. (The commercialized stuff on the radio, not the cool stuff going on in clubs. I wasn't old enough to go to clubs). Seemed like everyone was trying to cash in which offended my teenage punk sensibilities. It wasn't until later that I realized there were good disco records!! ((And obviously, its fine to not like things, but the violent anti-disco reaction was WAY out of proportion)) Also, for what it's worth, I got beat up several times for being "gay".
	11:40am Andres: Oh man. So many Dick Hyman lps left behind in the thrift store bins.
	11:40am Blix: This is a really good show today Trouble.
	11:40am Miss G: Oooh, la la Dick Hyman. Reminds me to play Squirrel Carcass tribute to the organ from before. I got half hour into it and then life intruded.
	11:41am Dano59: Rock provoked a lot of hatred among the establishment / older generation / John Birchers et al.
	11:42am Yetz: anyhow ... another great show, Trouble. Thanks. I'm not trying to be a pain. Will go back to listening and enjoying the grooves.
	11:43am Miss G: Yetz, I heard that "bad" disco too, when there weren't that many choices on my local radio, and so I could understand the "disappointment" of that time. For me, the Disco Demolition was also about, the scary way a crowd can be riled up. . .won't go on about it.
	11:43am Karl Ward: Yetz: no pain here, I love talking about this stuff, and I wasn't around for the anti-disco backlash.
	11:45am Dano59: it wasn't just homophobia as bias against disco; I think to a lot of middle America it seemed plastic and part of an alien urban. culture. Like any other popular/commercialized/exploitable art form, it also had its stupid elements, like Rick Dees.
	11:46am Karl Ward: I have probably told this story before, but around 2003 or so I got into a cab late one night in the LES and the cabbie was blasting Bee Gees "More Than a Woman." When I got in he turned it way down and apologized. I said hey man, I love the Bee Gees, and he cranked the hell out of it again and we cruised for the next half hour listening to cranked Bee Gees, singing along. It's a favorite NYC memory.
	11:46am steveo: More than a cab ride, to me
	11:47am Karl Ward: steveo gets me
	11:47am Dano59: If loving the Bee Gees is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
	11:49am oshiwoshi: ooh that bari
	11:49am Trouble: sadly this month's wfmu sidewalk sale is cancelled. next one will be dec 10 weather willing
	11:49am Dano59: Real Gone has been doing the lord's work the past few years. Impressive catalog.
	11:50am northguineahills: @andres: thankfully they did, so blokes like me could pick them up later....
	11:50am Tony from Chicago: https://www.npr.org/2016/12/09/504712369/harlem-river-drive-revisited-with-eddie-palmieri
	11:52am morphe': Thanks Trouble and all !!!
	11:54am northguineahills: danks, trouble!
	11:54am ryansterlingvirtue: Great music today, thx!
	11:54am listener james from westwood: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:54am Miss G: Thanks Trouble, getting a long day ahead started off right!
	11:55am Dano59: wonderful music this a.m. / in your debt Trouble
	11:55am Wind: Thank you so much Trouble for sharing the music and also the activism!
	11:55am bradford: Many thanks Trouble, excellent show!
	11:55am Zipperhead7: Zipperdawg and I appreciate the great tunes, Trouble!
	11:56am radioronan: Thanks Trouble! Cheers y'all!

	11:57am Trouble: gracias@zipperhead and dawg!
	11:58am mb: Thx DJ T. Aloha all.
	11:59am Yetz: Thanks. Peace love and good vibes to all.
	12:18pm egould: Doo doo doobie doo.

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from November 17, 2022

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.

Listener comments!
	5:16pm Trouble: good morning! the title of today's show comes from the book "the touch system" by Alejandra Costamanga. I recommend it! Sadly, I think it is her first and only book translated into english.
	9:00am Handy Haversack: I think history will vindicate the cardinal. Bright Thursday greetings, Trouble and all the Troubled.
	9:02am Strandlund: Good Morning Trouble and all those that get into Trouble...
	9:02am Karl Ward: "Our brains are too large. We are much too busy. Our brains have proved to be terribly destructive." --Vonnegut, in conversation with Shrigley's cardinal
	9:02am Yetz: good morning ... different version of this than i'm used to ...
	9:03am alan the painter: ge_morning Trouble, Providence on my mInd.

	9:13am Ike: Sounds great!!!
	9:19am wind: Does anyone like frequenting Lincoln Center?
	9:19am S_Rah: This music is so niiiiiiicccce!
	9:20am S_Rah: sometimes my alexa misreads my voice when i say play wfmu. i thought perhaps she had tuned me into a classical station. way to go fmu:) i love it
	9:20am Handy Haversack: wind, can you provide some definitional clarity around "like" and "frequenting"?
	9:21am Creston: Omg this is beautiful
	9:22am Roberto: Morning, Trouble! I meant to say last week that your show two weeks ago had some awesomely inspirational tracks! I was driving during the show so I wasn't able to comment. Also, I looked on the Wild Bird web site you talked about but I couldn't find any info on the owl-tagging demo you attended. Do you know, was that a special event or something they offer regularly?
	9:23am wind: Oh sorry…I mean Does anyone love visiting the Lincoln Center often (or not so often) to enjoy the performances they offer?
	9:23am Sean Fahrrad: Apologies, I am not going to keep commenting all day But I spent some of my breakfast talking with a friend about how beautiful choral music is and how the voices and the breathing are in synchrony THis is a beautiful example Really great start to the show Thank you (again)
	9:25am Handy Haversack: wind: ah. I work right near there so usually skedaddle as efficiently as possible.
	9:25am Karl Ward: Plug for the lovely and free Sarum Compline concerts, happening most Sunday evenings at 9:30 at St. Paul's Chapel on the Columbia University campus: www.columbia.edu...
	9:26am Wind: This IS beautiful Creston😌
	9:26am Trouble: @roberto: wild bird research does that banding thing during migration. so it's not a constant thing
	9:28am Zipperhead7: Good morning Troubled Modernists! This is lovely melancholic music -- so appropriate for this time of year. I had to bust out the winter coat on Tuesday
	9:28am Andrea: Hi Trouble and all. I’m digging the mellow vibes this morning. Thank you!!
	9:29am Wind: 💕 Roberto it’s so good that you asked! I was actually also driving and listening that day and I meant to ask Trouble about the birding website again, as I forgot to look into it after all. 🙂
	9:29am B Wad: Special Vessels here, having a rainy day of sublime museumery in Den Haag…staying spiritually connected to all of you via the magic of the internet and my blue teeth.
	9:32am Roberto: Wind, here's the info on the owl monitoring: wildbirdresearch.org... I believe Trouble witnessed the saw-whet owl migration and banding. But as I said, there's no info on the site regarding the demo. I guess you'd have to contact them for more info.
	9:34am Wind: Thank you!
	9:35am Marley P. Dogg: Hello Trouble and all troubled youths
	9:37am Roberto: William Parker -- This is My Country was a serious bop. I had been feeling pessimistic about the upcoming midterms, and it actually picked me up.
	9:38am S_Rah: des oiseaux!!!
	9:38am Wind: Hello Marley 🖐🏾 every single One of Trouble’s choices have been incredible this morning 🥰
	9:41am Cassettivity: Great opening set :)
	9:42am Wind: I love it!
	9:43am Mice of Mu: This is the cardinalest of cardinals
	9:43am Karl Ward: I was attacked daily by a Northern Mockingbird for weeks
	9:43am Wind: Agh! I got duped into watching That stupid movie on Netflix owls attacking people!!
	9:44am Handy Haversack: And as soon as I get my Mockingbird budget line funded again, Karl Ward ...
	9:45am shumyum: Owls have big eyes so they can see in the dark better (better than hawks...)
	9:45am happymaan: Normally I go to Ursa on Double Dip Recess for my animal facts, but thank you Trouble.
	9:45am Miss G: I think I just heard that if I'm wearing my usual ponytail, that an owl will swoop down and attack me? I'm kind of afraid of birds!
	9:45am unpopularfred: perhaps these people were carrying mice in their pockets
	9:46am Miss G: It's nice to hear about Jonas Mekas on a Thursday, thank you DJ Trouble!
	9:46am Vivian: Hey happymaaan!!! Hope you are doing well! Did you guys ever get chickens?
	9:46am happymaan: 7 day till my b-day!
	9:46am Karl Ward: Cue Prof, Fuzz '63 "That Owl's a Buzzkill" prof-fuzz63.bandcamp.com...
	9:47am happymaan: My wife was previously unemployed for a bit and is now gainfully employed, I think I have a mighty nice gift coming.
	9:48am Wind: That was interesting about ponytails. Karl are you serious??? I defend wildlife every time hands down over people.
	9:49am Handy Haversack: Well, my Strength Through Failure shirt and I are off to the doctor's office. Thanks, Trouble! Stay Troubled, all.
	9:50am Karl Ward: Wind: yes, I am serious. I wasn't the only one who was attacked, my neighbor got it too.
	9:50am Wind: unpopularfred only Michael Jackson was allowed to carry a mouse in his pocket! Oh wait ….is he still alive too like JFK Jr.?
	9:51am Trouble: gracias@ roberto: the week before elections my dj plan was to be uplifting and fire-y to encourage peeps to vote! i guess it worked!
	9:51am Vivian: @Happymaaan- ah that's great news! Last time we saw you guys (over 2 years ago???) she was either looking or had a interview coming up.
	9:53am peter in SEA: Bonjour Trouble and People of the Thursdays
	9:53am S_Rah: salut les gens de jeudi
	9:54am rx scabin: Good morning. Waiting for 2 to 4 feet of snow here.
	9:54am Wind: Well I don’t have any idea why birds attack people. But it’s worth asking them why. The author and activist Derrick Jensen has a theory that we lost our abilities to communicate with other animals.
	9:57am happymaan: Hey ya @Vivian! She got a job about 4 months ago, she works at the place that makes elf on the shelf. She loves it there.
	9:58am chresti: hi Trouble, one thing I missed when my family moved to california was seeing cardinals.
	9:58am Karl Ward: Wind: "Mockingbirds are bold in defense of their nests, attacking cats and even humans that venture too close." www.audubon.org...
	9:59am happymaan: How are you guys doing @Vivian? I recently got my ham radio license so I'm loving geeking out with that.
	10:07am Roberto: Yes, Trouble, your plan worked! The power of people-powered music on display!
	10:07am Vivian: @happymaan- Working with Elf on the Shelf sounds like a fun job. Tell her congrats from us! And the ham radio sounds interesting. Without giving out too much details, what are the convos like?
	10:09am BnowB: Oh Trouble, Thank you for saving me from hateful Twitter. I love birding and im gonna go on a nature walk with my binoculars now. Your show is amazing! <3
	10:09am chresti: We got the California blue jays instead.
	10:09am happymaan: The ham radio conversations? They tend to talk about ham radio a lot...but it's fun they have a system called echolink so I can connect to a repeater to most any country in the world and then transmit from it as if I was there and talk to locals. Also I meet with the Atlanta Radio Club for lunch, it's a bunch of retired engineers and professors. It's a fun group.
	10:09am dougseidel: @happymaan - My experience trying to find interesting people to talk to on the ham radio - so many super right wing/survivalist dudes out there. Do you find that?
	10:09am Vivian: Feel like I'm intruding on someone's privacy, then again if it's on ham radio, probably not private.
	10:10am the Woofer!: i'm delusional or trouble used to dj on vkr back in the day
	10:11am jake: DJ Trouble! Good seeing you at our neighborhood assoc. meeting the other night—my friend and I were talking about right to counsel here in JC :) amazing show this morning
	10:11am happymaan: Everything on ham radio is public and can not be encrypted/obscured and you need to say your callsign at the beginning of every conversation and once someone has your callsign it's trivial to get their name and address.
	10:13am Trouble: call your nj legislators to urge passage of the temporary workers bill of rights: A1474/SS11 THANKS! www.christmasbirdcount.org
	10:14am Phillippe: Nice pet shop boys
	10:14am disco_nap_: Saw PSB at Barclay's in Sept and it was fab!
	10:14am happymaan: @doug Yes there are...there are a lot of reasons to get into ham radio. Prepping/emergency communication draws a lot of people into it...it is dominated by old white guys but luckily not exclusively. We really do try to reach out to get young people involved. If a kid were in high school the amount of scholarships they can apply for just by having a ham license is insane. So many of those go unclaimed.
	10:14am Trouble: Hey Jake! thanks for that presentation!! do you have a link you can post here?
	10:14am Andres: PSB!!!
	10:14am happymaan: Thanks for The Pet Shop Boys!
	10:16am Wind: Will call Trouble! Thanks ♥️ Karl I don’t doubt that birds protect their nests and attack In defense of their families. I would too.
	10:16am Barney Grubbs: We had a great horned owl in our LI backyard a few weeks ago and it seemed to be having a strange conversation with a neighbor's barking dog--the dog would bark and then the owl would respond with some eerie vocalizations. I am now glad I was not wearing a ponytail.
	10:16am chresti: *the CA jays used to attack my little brother's blonde hair when they were nesting, much like mocking birds
	10:17am Zipperhead7: One of the things I like best about Trouble's show is the flow. It's quite a transition from chamber music to the Pet Shop Boys, but here it makes perfect, organic sense
	10:17am Jason from Houston: Gooooood morning.
	10:18am Wind: Lol Barney! Ponytails are for indoor only😂
	10:18am jake: Yes! Check out https://righttocounseljc.org to sign the petition for housing justice and learn more! Shout out to the temp workers bill too ✊
	10:18am Phillippe: we have the opposite problem here -- we have a too-friendly long billed marsh wren that likes to hang out on the wreath on the front door and then fliy in the house when we open it.
	10:18am ?: Hey Trouble, hey everybody. Enjoying the show, busy at work. I've been chased by birds for my hair, attacked I should say, in front of a small crowd @)
	10:19am rx scabin: @Zipperhead7 and Trouble manages to beat match it all.
	10:20am BnowB: today congress can make gay marriage legal for good ... lets hope
	10:20am mb: Are suet cakes not the preferred snack for birds in the Fall? Mine has nary been touched.
	10:21am captain beef fart: We have lots of owls in the woods around my house in Baltimore. One recently perched in a cedar feet from our front door and hooted so loud it freaked out the cats. Never been attacked by an owl but had a red tailed hawk swoop at me last week.
	10:21am chresti: a nesting hawk swooped a woman with a blonde ponytail while she was playing tennis, where I work
	10:22am BnowB: Heading to the Montclair Hawk watch now. I'll be listening, ty Trouble.
	10:22am Jason from Houston: HELL YES
	10:24am PaulRobeson1922: <3 Wear yer Love Like Heaven <3
	10:24am Trouble: yes!!@BnowB! fingers crossed!
	10:24am BnowB: love is love
	10:24am chresti: BnowB if you like hawks you'd LOVE Griffith Park.
	10:26am BnowB: I'm on foot today but Griffith park is awesome! Sorry I missed the latest birding adventure with y'all my buddy Kevin was there and I got the scoop. lol cheers everyone much love
	10:26am SSS: I'm with the bird.
	10:26am Roberto: Note to self: spend moar time in Griffith Park next L.A. trip.
	10:27am Phillippe: I always thought all owls "hooted" until we moved to our current home. We had some barred owls that definitely were calling and not hooting
	10:28am Wind: Bye BnowB
	10:29am PaulRobeson1922: that sounded good
	10:29am McGroovey: I liked it fast. I mean, it's good slow, too, but
	10:29am rx scabin: I am sorry that I jinxed you, Trouble.
	10:29am rx scabin: Re: beat matching.
	10:30am Hydroplane: I'll always be mystified that this band was from Ringwood, NJ. As someone who grew up near there I'm upset that I learned this way too late.
	10:31am Wind: Phillippe, that funny too-friendly long billed marsh wren is uninvited! wow, imagining that is funny! But not funny, I'm sure, for you guys IRL!
	10:32am Tome: Morning Trouble and everyone too !<>!
	10:33am Trouble: haha! @rx I can make a mess of it all by myself. why do you think i am called trouble?into every dj's life a little wrong speed shall fall
	10:36am Wind: I actually LOVED hearing it both ways! So thanks:)
	10:44am northguineahills: that mckenzie!
	10:46am Crownless Gander: This song is so joyfully threatening.
	10:47am Robm: Hello trouble and fellow troublemakers on this cold day
	10:47am Zipperhead7: In the event that there are any Prince fans in the house, I just stumbled across a great web page: en.apoplife.nl... I've been grabbing stuff like crazy off Youtube in the event that his estate clamps down
	10:48am Trouble: candy mckenzie talking about making it in the reggae scene trojanrecords.com...
	10:55am Rich in Washington: Oh god. I just got to work after listening on my commute and put WFMU on VLC on my work machine. For some reason, the playback speed was automatically set to slow and for several minutes thought that Trouble was playing stuff at the wrong speed on purpose.
	10:57am Andres: Great article, Trouble. i’m glad she found joy in the music making despite the obstacles. One can definitely hear it in that track.
	10:58am Zipperhead7: Hi Rich! Chopped 'n' screwed is a weird way to start the day
	11:00am Rich in Washington: Love VLC as a stream player - trying to get away from Apple's Music (frmly iTunes) app as much as possible - but VLC really demands that you pay attention. For instance, you can pause a webstream.
	11:02am agav bond: whoever is spinning is killing it
	11:03am rx scabin: @Rich in Washington foobar 2000 is worth checking out (Window$l. Good music library management, too. Rhythmbox on linux is good too.
	11:07am disco_nap_: Does mushroom coffee mean mud water?
	11:08am McGroovey: Mushroom coffee? I guess I don't understand the concept.
	11:08am Yetz: VLC FTW!
	11:08am chresti: mmmmmushrooms!
	11:08am Roberto: I've seen that mushroom coffee in health food stores. We don't like mushrooms so we're assuming we wouldn't like the coffee, either.
	11:08am Yetz: I drink mushroom tea sometimes but that's something else ...
	11:09am rx scabin: Greensleeves has many good entry point records.
	11:09am chresti: most of the mushroom coffee I see have coffee in it
	11:10am chresti: eartha kitt is awesome!
	11:11am Barney Grubbs: Wind, I think if I were to wear a ponytail indoors, the dog (and the teenager) would regard me with uncomfortable levels of suspicion, so I try to avoid them all together.
	11:11am McGroovey: Eartha Kitt: another reason to love the Adam West-era Batman
	11:11am agav bond: I missed that chopped and screwed joint...
	11:12am Bill K: New School part-time faculty (myself included) are on strike right now, too! Come cheer us on as we picket at 13th street and 5th avenue if you're passing through the Union Square area.
	11:12am chresti: haha
	11:12am Wind: Good thinking Barney!
	11:12am jeffehombre: you are killing it lover’s rock nice
	11:13am Andres: Barney: A bun then.
	11:13am TimSF: Hey trouble: just checked in; as I scrolled down I said" I know this artist" I follow him on insta and I like his stuff a lot. Thanks...OK, now on to the music.
	11:13am Wind: Lol a bun (man or woman) looks exactly like a nest!
	11:13am HotTopicValuedCustomer: @Bill is there a strike fund people could donate to?
	11:14am Barney Grubbs: Andres, a barn in a bun is never no fun
	11:14am Miss G: Bill K if I were there, I would join you. Something's gotta give with your situation. I went to the New School for a year a long time ago. Then UVA, where right now, other things have to change. . .
	11:15am disco_nap_: Go Bill K, go!!
	11:15am egould: The anti-disco demonstrations (like the Chicago White Sox promotion) of the late 70’s and other were rooted in anti-gay sentiment. Disco was popular in the gay club scene, and club scenes in general. However, morons focused on the “gay” element and lashed out against disco. Pretty stupid really.
	11:16am Trouble: GO @BilllK!!!
	11:17am Trouble: good point@ egould. horrible all around!
	11:19am rx scabin: Good luck, Bill K.
	11:20am rx scabin: Thank you for your efforts, Trouble. I must go out into the snow to oick up my younger daughter from the train station.
	11:21am Trouble: good luck@rx!
	11:21am rx scabin: Pick not oick though oick should be a word. It rolls off the tongue. Try it.
	11:23am northguineahills: @egould: i've been reading a lot about that. It wasn't just gay clubs, but clubs that attracted people of color as well.... (especially in Chicago, Detroit, NYC, etc)
	11:25am Sean Fahrrad: Back to movie soundtrack vibe....
	11:27am northguineahills: we can always use some more rita lee...
	11:27am Sean Fahrrad: 'Oik' is a word.... in England
	11:27am PaulRobeson1922: ; )
	11:28am Yetz: egould: The Disco Demolition was ignorant, hateful and embarrassing. A stain on the history of my city. But I think it's reductive and unfair to say that all disco hating was homophobic. The music was way overhyped, overexposed, overexploited, and a lot of it was frankly terrible. Some people just hated it on aesthetic grounds.
	11:29am Wind: oiK is a word??!
	11:30am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning! I am no early bird today, it seems.
	11:30am PaulRobeson1922: Os Mutantes- the dirt in my hand - was is and always shall be
	11:30am Chris Hiatt: My crew listened to a lot of Os Mutantes during the college years. Didn't really know much about Gal Costa until last week! Sort of missed that they were both part of the Tropicalia movement until I did a deep dive during the tributes that happened after GC passed.
	11:31am Trouble: the same can be said for rock and it never provoked that kind of hatred @yetz.
	11:33am Crownless Gander: I think there might've been some early fear, too, of the DJ taking over as celebrity from the musician. Rock fans heard disco as overly processed, soulless, and repetitive, because they didn't consider the ability to make people dance a worthwhile consideration in the judgment of popular music.
	11:33am Karl Ward: Trouble: exactly. Disco was arguably much more transgressive and challenging than punk. Note that like disco, punk was also quickly sanitized into consumer friendly products while its underground scene kept pushing the boundaries.
	11:34am Crownless Gander: But yeah, definitely mixed with homophobia and racism and just plain fear of the new.
	11:34am Sean Fahrrad: It is not a very nice word But it is in usage oik (ɔɪk) n derogatory slang Brit a person regarded as inferior because ignorant, ill-educated, or lower-class
	11:34am northguineahills: @yetz: by the time of the disco demolition, that is true, but in the origins of disco the music was amazing (and then you have the overseas variants (ie: Italia)).
	11:34am Roberto: RIP Hogan's Heroes star Robert Clary -- I just realized he was once married to my sister-in-law's husband's cousin's husband's aunt. He also came to speak at my school circa 1982 regarding his Holocaust experiences.
	11:35am HotTopicValuedCustomer: disco good
	11:35am tadpoles: Thanks for playing Syd Trouble. Always good to hear. Cheers
	11:35am steveo: Hi sorry I'm so late! Have you seen the new Harriet Tubman/Undergound Railroad mural in Berry Lane Park? It's spectacular! imgur.com... (We did I long walk in J.C. and Hoboken -- also my first time in the Heights -- lovely hood :)
	11:37am Trouble: the same can be said for rock and it never provoked that kind of hatred @yetz.
	11:37am Harktheumpire: So Broadcasty. Lovely!
	11:39am Dano59: groovy Dick Hyman, superspy
	11:40am Yetz: I'm not trying to argue, I think you all are 100% right. I am just remembering growing up in the NJ suburbs in the 70s and hearing a lot of really terrible disco, everywhere you went. (The commercialized stuff on the radio, not the cool stuff going on in clubs. I wasn't old enough to go to clubs). Seemed like everyone was trying to cash in which offended my teenage punk sensibilities. It wasn't until later that I realized there were good disco records!! ((And obviously, its fine to not like things, but the violent anti-disco reaction was WAY out of proportion)) Also, for what it's worth, I got beat up several times for being "gay".
	11:40am Andres: Oh man. So many Dick Hyman lps left behind in the thrift store bins.
	11:40am Blix: This is a really good show today Trouble.
	11:40am Miss G: Oooh, la la Dick Hyman. Reminds me to play Squirrel Carcass tribute to the organ from before. I got half hour into it and then life intruded.
	11:41am Dano59: Rock provoked a lot of hatred among the establishment / older generation / John Birchers et al.
	11:42am Yetz: anyhow ... another great show, Trouble. Thanks. I'm not trying to be a pain. Will go back to listening and enjoying the grooves.
	11:43am Miss G: Yetz, I heard that "bad" disco too, when there weren't that many choices on my local radio, and so I could understand the "disappointment" of that time. For me, the Disco Demolition was also about, the scary way a crowd can be riled up. . .won't go on about it.
	11:43am Karl Ward: Yetz: no pain here, I love talking about this stuff, and I wasn't around for the anti-disco backlash.
	11:45am Dano59: it wasn't just homophobia as bias against disco; I think to a lot of middle America it seemed plastic and part of an alien urban. culture. Like any other popular/commercialized/exploitable art form, it also had its stupid elements, like Rick Dees.
	11:46am Karl Ward: I have probably told this story before, but around 2003 or so I got into a cab late one night in the LES and the cabbie was blasting Bee Gees "More Than a Woman." When I got in he turned it way down and apologized. I said hey man, I love the Bee Gees, and he cranked the hell out of it again and we cruised for the next half hour listening to cranked Bee Gees, singing along. It's a favorite NYC memory.
	11:46am steveo: More than a cab ride, to me
	11:47am Karl Ward: steveo gets me
	11:47am Dano59: If loving the Bee Gees is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
	11:49am oshiwoshi: ooh that bari
	11:49am Trouble: sadly this month's wfmu sidewalk sale is cancelled. next one will be dec 10 weather willing
	11:49am Dano59: Real Gone has been doing the lord's work the past few years. Impressive catalog.
