	9:04am StringOFperils: Good morning, Trouble. Good sounds for silent new snow.
	9:04am Webhamster Henry: Good morning Modernaires!
	9:05am Handy Haversack: I can't remember if this got posted here, but if it didn't, I think this crowd would appreciate: tree-map.nycgovparks.org... If it did, then second time's a charm!
	9:05am riley: Good morning! TGIT!
	9:05am Edgar from Maine: This is nice snow music. I think I'll stare out the real glass window instead of into this artificial one.
	9:06am Strandlund: Good Morning Trouble!! I love the Mickalene Thomas piece!
	9:09am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:05 Very cool. Big Lumber meets Big Data.
	9:10am melinda: Good morning Trouble and everyone
	9:11am Trouble: What is everyone reading to get through these last dark days of february? I just finished another Penelope Mortimer: Daddy's gone a hunting, it was stupendous. Now I've started Dr No by percival everett: it's insane!
	9:11am Pax: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:05 I like the way you said that.
	9:11am Trouble: thanks handy, that is fascinating
	9:12am Trouble: gracias@ quinno2!
	9:12am Robm: ↳ Trouble @9:11 Listening to the outlander series, rather long but worth it
	9:14am Phillippe: howdy
	9:14am TDK60: Trouble, I'm reading an old one, from the public library. Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here. It hasn't been banned from our library, yet...
	9:15am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: i read whats new on netflix and prime and disney
	9:15am melinda: I'm sort of reading Gifts Differing by Isabel Briggs Myers and Altars of Unhewn Stone by Wes Jackson. Both are non-fiction so it's easy to take breaks and get distracted by other amusements.
	9:17am StringOFperils: Ironically, where New Yorkers might be concerned, I'm in Toronto re-reading Fran Lebowitz' first two books. Her acerbic wit seems like the perfect antidote to a world I can't take seriously any more, and I feel less winter-gloomy when I'm smirking
	9:17am Panda Penguin: Just finished Eve Babitz's "Slow Days, Fast Company", and have now detoured into Bob Stanley's latest book, about the history of pre-Elvis 20th century pop music.
	9:17am Sera from Rockaway: I just finished The Mare by Mary Gaitskill. I loved it although I suppose one could be offended that her main character is a Dominican teenage girl
	9:18am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:14 I love that book, TDK60!
	9:20am Sera from Rockaway: Now I am reading The Year of Magical Thinking by Didion. It's a hard one for me. My brother died four years ago and I guess I am trying to figure out "how" to grieve.......? Anyway, I have put it down numerous times, not bc it's not good (obvs)
	9:20am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Trouble @9:11 I'm reading Look Homeward Angel, by Thomas Wolfe (the other Tom Wolfe). Prose is beautiful but culturally it has not aged well at all. Not sure I would recommend due to the latter. More fun is the Saveur back issues I've been re-reading!
	9:20am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:18 Handy, not surprised! It appears prescient possibly, though I'm only 60 pages in.
	9:20am Handy Haversack: Leech by Hiron Ennes was excellent. Really gripping anticolonial, anticapitalist SF with large doses of gothic horror. Reading How Beautiful We Were now, by Imbolo Mbue. While I admire it, I'm not sure how much I like it.
	9:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:20 I think it about in relation especially to matters discussed on Techtonic very frequently. The moving of the window of what's allowed vs. what will land you in a prison camp as an enemy of the state -- and how data collection of any kind only feeds that danger.
	9:21am bobobob: They don't know when G Harrison birthday is and it's not today Trouble
	9:24am Ike: Sounds awesome! Love the show.
	9:25am Phillippe: I'm reading a collection of noir crime stories from the 40s. Various writers, no one particularly notable, nor are most of the stories. It's a genre I like, though, and I have a short attention span, so short stories are the way to go.
	9:27am Vivian: Morning all. Have the windows open, hens singing their egg song during this song. So peaceful.
	9:28am Sera from Rockaway: ↳ Vivian @9:27 That sounds AMAZING! Where are you?
	9:29am Trouble: merci@ ike!
	9:29am xtrakrispy: A follow up to Handy’s map. If you see an empty sidewalk tree location in NYC you can request a new tree at: www.nycgovparks.org...
	9:29am Quinn02: I am reading Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford. after reading The Silk Road by Peter Frankopan. I'm in an ancient Asia zone lately.
	9:30am happymaan: Has it been said what the WFMU Pirate Radio Sea Cruise is?
	9:30am chresti: Morning Trouble and troubled! Nice sounds for making coffee!
	9:31am Vivian: On my nightstand: Confidence Man by Maggie Haberman, Fleishman is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner and a few back issues of the New Yorker. I've been trying to carve out an hour before bedtime to read during the week. It's been a challenge.
	9:31am Jedi: Beautiful start to today’s show. Thank you 🙏🏼
	9:31am Yetizen: My cats are really enjoying the show this morning, Trouble! (So are the humans)
	9:31am listener james from westwood: Meg!
	9:32am Vivian: ↳ Sera from Rockaway @9:28 Atlanta. Current temps are 70. It's a false summer day. I wouldn't be surprised if temps dip down to the 30s in a few weeks. Typical Atlanta weather.
	9:33am love2laf: ↳ Yetizen @9:31 Love that Erin is not the only cat who loves this show the most, especially the theremin set.
	9:33am xtrakrispy: God Bless America. Improve it or loose it.
	9:33am StringOFperils: Please don't loose it.
	9:33am Yetizen: ↳ Vivian @9:31 try reading in the morning? i tend to fall asleep when i read at bedtime
	9:35am Yetizen: ↳ love2laf @9:33 they face directly toward the speakers and pivot their ears when they like the music. and when they don't like it they will get up and leave the room.
	9:36am Yetizen: ↳ Yetizen @9:35 (they should do a record-review column)
	9:37am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @9:32 Hey ya! How you doing?
	9:37am TDK60: ↳ xtrakrispy @9:29 xtrakrispy: Thanks for that. I just saw a cut trunk yesterday where a new tree needs planted.
	9:38am happymaan: I for one am getting a much needed haircut today.
	9:38am melinda: never heard this H&O, very nice
	9:38am Vivian: ↳ Yetizen @9:33 Mornings are hectic around my house- feed dogs, take dogs outside so cats can eat, feed chickens, clean coop, clean litter box, caffeine up for trip to work. Evenings are better for reading while listening to classical music. Helps me get a good night's sleep.
	9:39am steveo: good morning glorious birds and everyone
	9:39am egould: On vacation in Florida. So weird to listen to WFMU in EST.
	9:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "star hill song" by "meg baird" Meg Baird will be on Surface Noise on MOnday!
	9:40am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @9:37 Good! Lots of projects in and out of the house. We're talking about getting bees and starting a hive- very exciting! How are you?
	9:40am Webhamster Henry: I'm liking these new birds!
	9:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ Vivian @9:32 We're coming to ATL in mid-April. Hoping for dogwoods and dogwood weather.
	9:40am Ike: ↳ xtrakrispy @9:33 Glob bless Americone Dream. Eat it fast or it’ll melt.
	9:41am Edgar from Maine: I have mixed feelings about seagulls squawking depending on the season.
	9:42am el_musgo: Like Seinflied?
	9:43am Edgar from Maine: "Brian's Song"?
	9:43am Vivian: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:40 You should have lovely temps then. Are you just coming to check out the city, or see a show?
	9:44am evancuts: Brians Song. Which is a great movie for any kids starting to get in touch with their feelings!
	9:45am pp: Lupica now on WPRB. Past Times Behind definitely a knock-off compilation put out to capitalize on their 70s hits
	9:46am evancuts: www.youtube.com...
	9:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ Vivian @9:43 My thirtieth high school reunion! I'm shocked, too. We're staying in downtown Decatur, right near MARTA (which seems greatly fallen from when I was in HS? every 20 minutes? really?). I saw Robbie Fulks is playing while we're there, but I don't know if we'll have the freedom to get to a show.
	9:46am evancuts: I had the 45!
	9:47am Panda Penguin: Trouble, speaking of fog and coastlines, are you familiar with this book that came out last year? www.whiterabbitbooks.co.uk...
	9:48am The Mole: Was pleasantly surprised at Kali Malone's opening set for Sunn O))) a month ago in Seattle. Nice noises.
	9:48am Edgar from Maine: My buddy in Decatur sends pictures of his garden. Been flowering already for weeks.
	9:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ Panda Penguin @9:47 Wow, very nice. Thanks for the tip!
	9:48am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @9:40 We're doing well. We lost our dog about 7 months ago, but doing okay now. We entered a chili cook off a few weeks ago and Courtney won first place, so we will be entering Chomp and Stomp in Novemember. Having bee's would be amazing!
	9:48am HotTopicValuedCustomer: Kali was supposed to play in Philly in the fall but the promoter didn't realize they needed a working organ for her to use...
	9:49am Robm: I love midsomer murders, great series
	9:49am Webhamster Henry: I Protist!
	9:49am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @9:40 Oh, and her garden is looking great this year! She's quite excited about it.
	9:50am Vivian: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:46 Wow, 30th reunion! My hat off to you, I haven't kept in touch with anyone from HS. Compared to other public transportation systems, Marta is an embarrassment. I use to take it to work when I lived in Decatur. Sometimes a smart move, sometimes not. Good idea to stay in downtown Decatur. So much to offer within walking distance.
	9:50am Handy Haversack: Gotta run an errand with the hound. Back soonest!
	9:50am Hughie Considine: This proud primate welcomes all the edumication this fine station can offer.
	9:51am tim from washington: Hi trouble and everyone!
	9:53am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Bachianas Brasilieras No. 6" by "plinio fernandes" Listening to this and staring out the window at the grey morning is a sweet spot.
	9:54am happymaan: I will be asking my barber to put on WFMU when I get my haircut.
	9:54am Zinn The Mood: Hey Trouble and Troublemakers. In the car with the family on the way to Philly for a coupla days, listening to Trouble. Looking forward to finally getting some reception as we eventually head southwest. On way out dropped off a check in the mail for the garage that houses all my music equipment. Kind of makes me sick whenever I think that there’s very little choice in stamps. Looking at the big American flag on it screams American Exceptionalism brainwashing to me, and explained that to the kid, who was asking about it. Asking, because, I frequently talk to them about such things. A refrain, that they often repeat back to me when we’re talking about how flags inherently are about superiority and serve to divide people, is “One World, No Flags.” Suffice to say any historic places we may visit will be explained through the lens of a couple of parents who dissent from and push back on all coordinated state propaganda. Khyber Pass for lunch, Wooden Shoes at some point.
	9:54am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @9:48 Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. No words can ease that pain, I wish I could.
	9:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Vivian @9:50 I have stayed in downtown ATL before -- my dad worked at the Regency, so that was a nostalgic place to be. But it seems like all is happening in Decatur this year. And my school is not TOO far from the Candler Park MARTA station.
	9:55am tim from washington: ↳ Robm @9:49 Was there talk about Midsomer Murders? i like that show too.
	9:56am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @9:49 Congratulations on winning the chili cookoff! If you do enter Chomp and Stomp, I'll come by and support you guys! What is Courtney growing in her garden?
	9:57am Robm: ↳ tim from washington @9:55 Trouble mentioned it on her first mike break
	9:58am Pax: I remember watching a doc about primates way long ago. And they said that all other primate's see humans as puny little primates
	9:59am love2laf: ↳ tim from washington @9:55 Trouble talked about it in relation to a new to her show that she's loving www.imdb.com...
	9:59am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Pax @9:58 Don't fight a chimp. You'll regret it.
	9:59am Frank Zaatar: It is great to hear solo oud on FMU. May I point out that Udi Neset Bey is the artist and Nihavent Taksim ("Improvisation in the Nihavent mode") is the piece?
	9:59am StringOFperils: ↳ tim from washington @9:55 Midsomer Murders always amuses me , because more murders take place there than the total population of the place. And much sleuthing happens in order to work out whodunnit out of the entire village of...how many bodies actually reside there anyway?! Oh well, I don't care. It's kind of crazy brain candy.
	10:00am alanr: Buenos dīas. So far so good, not that I would expect anything different from Trouble. Interesting and not distracting (too much), while I work on stuff. let's see, Mexico city today high in the 70s. No insane winter storm!
	10:01am tim from washington: ↳ Trouble @9:11 I'm currently reading Xstabeth by David Keenan. There jury's still out what I think of it. I loved his NF book England's Hidden Reverse. Xstabeth starts out with some really cringeworthy writing but it seems to have evened out some. Recent books that have knowcked me out is Alexandra's (from the comments board) Heartbreaker. alexandramartinez.bandcamp.com... Also Cosey Fanni Tutti's 'Re-Sisters' and Bruce Adams' 'You're With Stupid'.
	10:02am Trouble: exactly @ string of perils!
	10:02am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @9:56 Thank you! She's growing so much.. Bok choy ,arugula ,tomatoes, strawberries Parsley cilantro, lettuce, cabbage, brussel sprouts broccoli, spinach snap peas... That's not even all of it
	10:02am Trouble: thanks@frank zaatar, i belabored over that for a long time
	10:03am happymaan: All starting from seeds except the strawberries.
	10:03am happymaan: We also have a Venus flytrap we've kept alive for 3 years now.
	10:03am tim from washington: ↳ StringOFperils @9:59 That aspect cracks me up too. There's a recent book that focuses on that aspect of numerous BBC mysteries.
	10:04am Robm: ↳ love2laf @9:59 Oops should have paid more attention
	10:04am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "do what you gotta do" by "nina simone" Man, this is a great one!
	10:05am Frank Zaatar: ↳ happymaan @10:03 Glad to oblige /be a nudnik.
	10:07am Triple G in NYC: Aliens?! Yip yip, boing boing (thanks Joe)
	10:07am morphe': was that the sound during the Bey track or cassette hissing???
	10:07am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @10:02 Wow, I'm impressed! I tested some old seeds in the front bed, nothing grew which I'm not surprised. Going to start lettuce from new seeds this weekend. So the herbs and tomatoes, are they plants in the ground? Or starting from seed?
	10:09am Panda Penguin: I remember listening to the hour-long block of Nina you played for her 85th birthday - first time I'd ever heard her version of My Sweet Lord, and it stopped me in my tracks. To this day, one of the single greatest radio-listening experiences I've ever had.
	10:09am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and Everyone. Snow day and COVID (still) here. I hope everything is going well with all of you.
	10:09am Phillippe: Last time I was abducted by aliens I asked them to take care of my colonoscopy while they were doing their probing, but they wouldn't accept my insurance.
	10:09am HotTopicValuedCustomer: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:54 Iffy Books is another rad bookstore in Philly - more hacker-centric than Wooden Shoe but lots of cool DIY kits that might be interesting for the kiddos.
	10:09am morphe': ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:54 Some folks put the flag stamp upside down as a wee protest - which, I was told, is a US Navy signal of distress
	10:11am love2laf: ↳ rx scabin @10:09 Snow, snow, snow here too. Hope you are on the mend soon, and it passes lightly.
	10:12am Marko: Sorry for posting this observation late post-mention by Trouble ... As the star of "Bergerac," set and usually filmed in the Channel Island of Jersey, John Nettles was a charismatic, athletic actor who made the British gossip columns every time he took off his shirt, which seems like every episode. Watching Nettles star as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby in the brilliant "Midsomer Murders," Barnaby increasingly orders his detective sergeant subordinates to climb through windows and chase suspects down village lanes. Unlike Bergerac, Tom Barnaby is portrayed as staid, certainly stuck in the societal and musical past. The 1970s? In some ways, more in the 1950s. It's a witty contrast with Barnaby's young, hipper sergeants.
	10:13am steveo: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:54 there is a wide variety of stamps for sale at usps.com ("shop" link top of page)
	10:13am Trouble: @ morphe' the sound was not in the transmission out to you all
	10:13am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @10:03 Yikes, you answered my question! Share some photos of the garden, I love to see them. It will give me a good kick in the butt to get moving on seeds for the spring. Plan to start peppers and tomatoes this week.
	10:14am morphe': ↳ Handy Haversack @9:46 First time in Atlanta 1990s - was ionvited to an ED conference and was put up in the DwTwn Hyatt. Arrived at night and when I awoke in the morning and saw only a canopy of tress DWnTN??? I thought of Planet of the Apes and that so called civilization was retrograde... Liked walking the city...
	10:14am steveo: ↳ morphe' @10:09 putting the stamp upside-down means love in my book
	10:15am Trouble: thanks!@ marko:after a quick goggle i was surprised to see the attention that bergerac received since i was introduced to nettles via midsommer murder
	10:17am eric from lake hiawatha: Gal Costa then Nina Simone…that’s Trouble
	10:17am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "in these times" by "Makaya McCraven" Trippy track. Almost like taking the soul/funk canvass and twisting it up with jazz, prog, and even rave or something.
	10:18am TDK60: I always point my postage stamps diagonally, northeast. Of course.
	10:20am Yetizen: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:54 you could get stamps honoring Toni Morrison or Ernest J Gaines. Or cute kittens. store.usps.com...
	10:20am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Panda Penguin @10:09 WKCR on Tuesday for Nina’s bday was a sheer joy. In same set with an epic live version of My Sweet Lord was her beautiful interpretation of Isn’t It A Pity.
	10:20am Pax: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:59 No one ever accused me of being the brightest bulb in the batch, but such a bizarre idea as that never even entered my mind.
	10:22am morphe': ↳ steveo @10:14 Got in Trouble in mt Bklyn Catholic HS = 70s and they were trying to give me the boot, but the Principal Bros Kiran Powers looked kindly on me and blocked the expulsion with the stipulation that it was my job to put up the flag in fron of the school each am: "character builing.." Got called to the office one first period and told I had put the flag up upside down and was told that is an SOS signal???? Love sounds better...
	10:23am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:20 Howdy Zinn. I made a 120- minute cassette of part of that WKCR Nina special, while I listened to WFMU.
	10:23am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @10:07 All from seeds starting inside in little pods, they will be ready to go in the ground soon I think. I set up a mini indoor area with UV lights for her babies.
	10:25am Zinn The Mood: ↳ HotTopicValuedCustomer @10:09 Very cool! Thanks HTVC! Will add that to agenda.
	10:25am Phillippe: ↳ TDK60 @10:23 Ah, I just made a connection to your screen name. Was not thinking of the cassette tape
	10:26am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @10:13 I just e-mailed you, send me your #
	10:30am Ken From Hyde Park: On PBS the other night, they were showing "American Masters: How It Feels To Be Free" that had some video of Nina Simone and other artists. I think the show was from 2021 and they re-aired it. Not sure if it's available for viewing online.
	10:31am Ken From Hyde Park: After five seconds of internet search, here it is: www.pbs.org...
	10:31am Zinn The Mood: ↳ morphe' @10:09 Heh…I’ve done that too. The last time on that stupid big flag one I wrote (when I had more time) underneath it: No Fascism! Another gross thing is the amount of flags on these highway overpasses. I mean, what other country is as pathetically nationalistic as this? I’ve traveled a bit and have never seen this kind of omnipresence anywhere else. It’s so deeply ingrained here that few even stop to notice.
	10:32am Mike W.: Misty Mountain Float
	10:32am TDK60: ↳ Phillippe @10:25 Hi Phillippe- Yeah, tape. I don't record many cassettes anymore; usually I use them for special radio shows on other stations where such won't be archived.
	10:33am happymaan: ↳ TDK60 @10:32 the program Total Recorder is great for recording steaming audio.
	10:35am happymaan: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:40 Look up the restaurant "Little Bear" in Atlanta, see if that place interests you.
	10:35am morphe': ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:31 Spain is rife with flags and Nationalism and racism and outright blatant fascism ....
	10:36am Greg g: Lovely track here by Chiu and Honer. Thanks and good morning Trouble, everyone
	10:37am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @10:23 Good job! UV lights is the way to go. We use hay bales and an old window as a makeshift greenhouse. Once the seeds sprout, we move them outside. My first batch of peppers resulted in one or two plants. I know where I screwed up.
	10:37am Mike W.: Misty Mountain Haunt
	10:40am rx scabin: @morphe' sounds like Florida and where I live.
	10:41am prof.fuzz: morning y'all! @morphe' : thanks for your kind words the other day. we appreciate it!
	10:41am Handy Haversack: Back with you! A little chilled but thrilled to be here!
	10:41am TDK60: ↳ happymaan @10:33 happymaan, Thanks. I'll try to look up that that program. Once I get through all the other things-to-look-up-that-came-up-on-the-wfmu-comment-board-list-already.
	10:43am katharsis: This is lovely
	10:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @10:01 Oh my god, I LOVED Xstabeth! That voice is ... a voice. Go with it. That book is gorgeous. A nineteenth-century Russian novel with obscure outsider music, Scotland, and golf. Absolute love. Also by DK: This Is Memorial Device. Just a wonder of a book.
	10:44am morphe': ↳ prof.fuzz @10:41 Just the truth, really like the sound(s) !!!! Keep up the good work !!!!!
	10:44am Zinn The Mood: ↳ morphe' @10:35 Sad to hear. I swear, on my trips to Italy, I’ve seen more “Pace” flags with the earth on them than Italian ones on people's homes.
	10:46am Phillippe: ↳ TDK60 @10:32 I had soooo many tapes from back in the day. The box of them got lost in our last move, including the tape the DJ made for us at our wedding.
	10:47am Jason from Houston: OH YES
	10:47am Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "computer age" by "neil young" "Computer Age" and "Hot Stuff," discuss.
	10:48am Jason from Houston: So many good things today. You are the best, Trouble.
	10:48am sydnius: ↳ Song: "computer age" by "neil young" KraftNeil
	10:48am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "computer age" by "neil young" Where is Mark Hurst?
	10:48am Magenta: ↳ Song: "computer age" by "neil young" Before I looked at the playlist I thought this was YMO.
	10:48am Trouble: thanks@jason! you are so supportive: love that!!!
	10:49am listener james from westwood: ↳ Magenta @10:48 I hear ya on this! Love that this track has so many likes.
	10:49am TDK60: ↳ Phillippe @10:46 Phillippe: Sadly, this problem still is with me. Stacks, boxes, piles, shelves.
	10:49am steveo: golly why do i love this Neil?
	10:50am morphe': ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:44 Zinn .. so funny .. I travelled small villages in Northern Italy as the 2nd Iraq war loomed and was struck by all the Rainbow flags but ,in my ignorance of the meaning then and there, I thought: "can there really be so many gay people/supporters in these little villages.." Finally realized .. after a week or two..
	10:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ happymaan @10:35 Looks real nice, happymaan. Actually has vegetarian food, which is not always the case in ATL. I am hoping to have the chance to get over to Soul Vegetarian (please please please let it still be there). And of course I have to get a slice at Fellini's just to make it all official.
	10:50am rx scabin: Thank you for the music, Trouble. I must go chip the ice off the car. Good luck, Everyone.
	10:52am Phillippe: Just came across this article, relevant to the books and bookstore, albeit a little late: lithub.com...
	10:52am steveo: this comes within 5% of my gif rate; nice
	10:53am Phillippe: *bookstore discussion
	10:53am Zinn The Mood: ↳ morphe' @10:50 Same timeframe for me! And to think, in the birthplace of “fascism.”
	10:54am Triple G in NYC: That Neil Young track/album led to a lot of antipathy between he and David Geffen
	10:54am Vivian: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 Love Soul Vegetarian! It's been quite some time since I've eaten there. Pretty sure it's still on Highland.
	10:54am Triple G in NYC: ↳ Triple G in NYC @10:54 Seems to be looked back on with polarizing opinions, but I think it's so surprising and underrated
	10:55am sydnius: ↳ Song: "lido's square/pae joao, menina da janela, oan, ma... rooting for Courageous Cat
	10:55am Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 Check HappyCow.net!
	10:57am Triple G in NYC: This show's had a great flow ... time is flying by
	11:01am Trouble: gracias@ triple g!
	11:03am Yetizen: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 Interesting, there's a Soul Vegetarian in Chicago, I wonder if they are connected?
	11:04am sydnius: ↳ Yetizen @11:03 so… wormhole?
	11:05am Handy Haversack: ↳ Roberto @10:55 Nice, thanks, Roberto.
	11:05am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetizen @11:03 Hmm. The one in Atlanta has been there since I was a kid. And there was SVII as well, at least for a while. Maybe they expanded?
	11:06am Greg g: First time hearing Tribo Massahi! Thanks Trouble!
	11:07am Yetizen: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:05 Chicago's Soul Veg has been around since 1981. I just found this: "Soul Vegetarian Restaurant is one of the largest chains of Vegan Restaurants in the world and operates under the auspices of the Hebrew Israelite Community of Jerusalem"
	11:08am Triple G in NYC: @Greg g - I see we have something in common
	11:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetizen @11:07 Huh! I had no idear! Then why can't we have one in Brooklyn? (Secretly hoping Yetizen immediately is like, "And it turns out there's one in Brooklyn.")
	11:09am sydnius: ↳ Yetizen @11:07 Ⓚ neat
	11:09am Yetizen: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:09 chicago.eater.com... - if you ever come to Chicago we will go there!
	11:10am northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:09 There used to be Mighty Diamond, but that turned into Mothers...
	11:10am Yetizen: I used to go there a lot but not since the 'demic
	11:10am Handy Haversack: Jennifer Egan on Techtonic: www.wfmu.org...
	11:11am morphe': Clay was asking about other musical Rolands and speaking of books and Musical Rolands= Roland the Minstrel Pig, William Steig
	11:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetizen @11:09 OMX, would go there right now!
	11:12am listener james from westwood: Sooo wish I could get down there this year for phone work. Still too much risk for where I'm at. Will pledge, though!
	11:12am happymaan: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:11 Did you look up Little Bear in ATL?
	11:14am Pax: You seem to know about germinating seeds, so on the outside chance that you might know about pinecone seeds and the best way to grow them. I've had the idea to get them growing in a cup and planting them in near by wooded area's. I tried doing that in the past with no results. Don't know what I did wrong, so I thought maybe you have some tips
	11:14am Yetizen: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:09 Trying to find a complete list of locations but no luck. There seem to be Soul Veg.'s in Atlanta, Chicago, Tallahasse and Cleveland.
	11:15am Webhamster Henry: In re: Marathon, NPR is laying off 10% of their staff due to "the erosion of advertising dollars". Revenue that WFMU doesn't have in the first place!
	11:16am Magenta: I signed up to volunteer both weekends. I can't wait to do so! I can't give as much as I did last year but I hope to make it up in volunteer work.
	11:16am sydnius: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:15 Wait, wait don’t fire me
	11:16am harpospeaks: great track
	11:16am Pax: ↳ Pax @11:14 My last post was meant for happyman.
	11:17am listener james from westwood: I miss stuffing envelopes and stickering postcards. That latter might come back with the return of the Record Fair, though!
	11:18am happymaan: Later folks, be well. Time to head out for that much needed haircut.
	11:18am happymaan: ↳ Pax @11:16 Sorry, I really don't know anything about seeds or anything, it's all my wife.
	11:19am morphe': Must get food stuffs... Thanks TROUBLE !!! and all !!!!
	11:20am happymaan: ↳ Pax @11:16 But I did ask her, I'll let you know...she's at work though. I'll hit you up through the friendship society.
	11:20am Trouble: lots of talk about planting today on the comments board, so you might be interested in this podcast www.agrariantrust.org...
	11:21am Pax: ↳ happymaan @11:18 Happy Haircut Happyman !
	11:22am Pax: ↳ happymaan @11:20 👍
	11:28am Crownless Gander: Always love to hear them Lijadu Sisters.
	11:31am Handy Haversack: ↳ happymaan @11:12 Yes! My response at 10:50: Looks real nice, happymaan. Actually has vegetarian food, which is not always the case in ATL. I am hoping to have the chance to get over to Soul Vegetarian (please please please let it still be there). And of course I have to get a slice at Fellini's just to make it all official.
	11:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ Magenta @11:16 Nice! Maybe K8 and I will run into you!
	11:32am Magenta: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:32 That would be lovely!
	11:33am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "winston theme" by "The Winston Brothers" Whoa this is a deep groove. Whoa!

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.

	9:02am listener james from westwood: Morning, Trouble and all!
	9:02am Chris Hiatt: Here in this space, where Trouble is good.
	9:02am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and troubled world.
	9:02am katharsis: Trouble, modernists
	9:03am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: if this aint trouble. hallo halodri
	9:04am Trouble: good grey morning: last one in february!!! we made it!
	9:04am StringOFperils: Good morning, Trouble. Good sounds for silent new snow.
	9:04am Webhamster Henry: Good morning Modernaires!
	9:05am Handy Haversack: I can't remember if this got posted here, but if it didn't, I think this crowd would appreciate: tree-map.nycgovparks.org... If it did, then second time's a charm!
	9:05am riley: Good morning! TGIT!
	9:05am Edgar from Maine: This is nice snow music. I think I'll stare out the real glass window instead of into this artificial one.
	9:06am Strandlund: Good Morning Trouble!! I love the Mickalene Thomas piece!
	9:09am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:05 Very cool. Big Lumber meets Big Data.
	9:10am melinda: Good morning Trouble and everyone
	9:11am Trouble: What is everyone reading to get through these last dark days of february? I just finished another Penelope Mortimer: Daddy's gone a hunting, it was stupendous. Now I've started Dr No by percival everett: it's insane!
	9:11am Pax: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:05 I like the way you said that.
	9:11am Trouble: thanks handy, that is fascinating
	9:12am Trouble: gracias@ quinno2!
	9:12am Robm: ↳ Trouble @9:11 Listening to the outlander series, rather long but worth it
	9:14am Phillippe: howdy
	9:14am TDK60: Trouble, I'm reading an old one, from the public library. Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here. It hasn't been banned from our library, yet...
	9:15am jdaAndAnoukFromKöln: i read whats new on netflix and prime and disney
	9:15am melinda: I'm sort of reading Gifts Differing by Isabel Briggs Myers and Altars of Unhewn Stone by Wes Jackson. Both are non-fiction so it's easy to take breaks and get distracted by other amusements.
	9:17am StringOFperils: Ironically, where New Yorkers might be concerned, I'm in Toronto re-reading Fran Lebowitz' first two books. Her acerbic wit seems like the perfect antidote to a world I can't take seriously any more, and I feel less winter-gloomy when I'm smirking
	9:17am Panda Penguin: Just finished Eve Babitz's "Slow Days, Fast Company", and have now detoured into Bob Stanley's latest book, about the history of pre-Elvis 20th century pop music.
	9:17am Sera from Rockaway: I just finished The Mare by Mary Gaitskill. I loved it although I suppose one could be offended that her main character is a Dominican teenage girl
	9:18am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:14 I love that book, TDK60!
	9:20am Sera from Rockaway: Now I am reading The Year of Magical Thinking by Didion. It's a hard one for me. My brother died four years ago and I guess I am trying to figure out "how" to grieve.......? Anyway, I have put it down numerous times, not bc it's not good (obvs)
	9:20am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Trouble @9:11 I'm reading Look Homeward Angel, by Thomas Wolfe (the other Tom Wolfe). Prose is beautiful but culturally it has not aged well at all. Not sure I would recommend due to the latter. More fun is the Saveur back issues I've been re-reading!
	9:20am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:18 Handy, not surprised! It appears prescient possibly, though I'm only 60 pages in.
	9:20am Handy Haversack: Leech by Hiron Ennes was excellent. Really gripping anticolonial, anticapitalist SF with large doses of gothic horror. Reading How Beautiful We Were now, by Imbolo Mbue. While I admire it, I'm not sure how much I like it.
	9:21am Handy Haversack: ↳ TDK60 @9:20 I think it about in relation especially to matters discussed on Techtonic very frequently. The moving of the window of what's allowed vs. what will land you in a prison camp as an enemy of the state -- and how data collection of any kind only feeds that danger.
	9:21am bobobob: They don't know when G Harrison birthday is and it's not today Trouble
	9:24am Ike: Sounds awesome! Love the show.
	9:25am Phillippe: I'm reading a collection of noir crime stories from the 40s. Various writers, no one particularly notable, nor are most of the stories. It's a genre I like, though, and I have a short attention span, so short stories are the way to go.
	9:27am Vivian: Morning all. Have the windows open, hens singing their egg song during this song. So peaceful.
	9:28am Sera from Rockaway: ↳ Vivian @9:27 That sounds AMAZING! Where are you?
	9:29am Trouble: merci@ ike!
	9:29am xtrakrispy: A follow up to Handy’s map. If you see an empty sidewalk tree location in NYC you can request a new tree at: www.nycgovparks.org...
	9:29am Quinn02: I am reading Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford. after reading The Silk Road by Peter Frankopan. I'm in an ancient Asia zone lately.
	9:30am happymaan: Has it been said what the WFMU Pirate Radio Sea Cruise is?
	9:30am chresti: Morning Trouble and troubled! Nice sounds for making coffee!
	9:31am Vivian: On my nightstand: Confidence Man by Maggie Haberman, Fleishman is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner and a few back issues of the New Yorker. I've been trying to carve out an hour before bedtime to read during the week. It's been a challenge.
	9:31am Jedi: Beautiful start to today’s show. Thank you 🙏🏼
	9:31am Yetizen: My cats are really enjoying the show this morning, Trouble! (So are the humans)
	9:31am listener james from westwood: Meg!
	9:32am Vivian: ↳ Sera from Rockaway @9:28 Atlanta. Current temps are 70. It's a false summer day. I wouldn't be surprised if temps dip down to the 30s in a few weeks. Typical Atlanta weather.
	9:33am love2laf: ↳ Yetizen @9:31 Love that Erin is not the only cat who loves this show the most, especially the theremin set.
	9:33am xtrakrispy: God Bless America. Improve it or loose it.
	9:33am StringOFperils: Please don't loose it.
	9:33am Yetizen: ↳ Vivian @9:31 try reading in the morning? i tend to fall asleep when i read at bedtime
	9:35am Yetizen: ↳ love2laf @9:33 they face directly toward the speakers and pivot their ears when they like the music. and when they don't like it they will get up and leave the room.
	9:36am Yetizen: ↳ Yetizen @9:35 (they should do a record-review column)
	9:37am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @9:32 Hey ya! How you doing?
	9:37am TDK60: ↳ xtrakrispy @9:29 xtrakrispy: Thanks for that. I just saw a cut trunk yesterday where a new tree needs planted.
	9:38am happymaan: I for one am getting a much needed haircut today.
	9:38am melinda: never heard this H&O, very nice
	9:38am Vivian: ↳ Yetizen @9:33 Mornings are hectic around my house- feed dogs, take dogs outside so cats can eat, feed chickens, clean coop, clean litter box, caffeine up for trip to work. Evenings are better for reading while listening to classical music. Helps me get a good night's sleep.
	9:39am steveo: good morning glorious birds and everyone
	9:39am egould: On vacation in Florida. So weird to listen to WFMU in EST.
	9:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "star hill song" by "meg baird" Meg Baird will be on Surface Noise on MOnday!
	9:40am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @9:37 Good! Lots of projects in and out of the house. We're talking about getting bees and starting a hive- very exciting! How are you?
	9:40am Webhamster Henry: I'm liking these new birds!
	9:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ Vivian @9:32 We're coming to ATL in mid-April. Hoping for dogwoods and dogwood weather.
	9:40am Ike: ↳ xtrakrispy @9:33 Glob bless Americone Dream. Eat it fast or it’ll melt.
	9:41am Edgar from Maine: I have mixed feelings about seagulls squawking depending on the season.
	9:42am el_musgo: Like Seinflied?
	9:43am Edgar from Maine: "Brian's Song"?
	9:43am Vivian: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:40 You should have lovely temps then. Are you just coming to check out the city, or see a show?
	9:44am evancuts: Brians Song. Which is a great movie for any kids starting to get in touch with their feelings!
	9:45am pp: Lupica now on WPRB. Past Times Behind definitely a knock-off compilation put out to capitalize on their 70s hits
	9:46am evancuts: www.youtube.com...
	9:46am Handy Haversack: ↳ Vivian @9:43 My thirtieth high school reunion! I'm shocked, too. We're staying in downtown Decatur, right near MARTA (which seems greatly fallen from when I was in HS? every 20 minutes? really?). I saw Robbie Fulks is playing while we're there, but I don't know if we'll have the freedom to get to a show.
	9:46am evancuts: I had the 45!
	9:47am Panda Penguin: Trouble, speaking of fog and coastlines, are you familiar with this book that came out last year? www.whiterabbitbooks.co.uk...
	9:48am The Mole: Was pleasantly surprised at Kali Malone's opening set for Sunn O))) a month ago in Seattle. Nice noises.
	9:48am Edgar from Maine: My buddy in Decatur sends pictures of his garden. Been flowering already for weeks.
	9:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ Panda Penguin @9:47 Wow, very nice. Thanks for the tip!
	9:48am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @9:40 We're doing well. We lost our dog about 7 months ago, but doing okay now. We entered a chili cook off a few weeks ago and Courtney won first place, so we will be entering Chomp and Stomp in Novemember. Having bee's would be amazing!
	9:48am HotTopicValuedCustomer: Kali was supposed to play in Philly in the fall but the promoter didn't realize they needed a working organ for her to use...
	9:49am Robm: I love midsomer murders, great series
	9:49am Webhamster Henry: I Protist!
	9:49am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @9:40 Oh, and her garden is looking great this year! She's quite excited about it.
	9:50am Vivian: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:46 Wow, 30th reunion! My hat off to you, I haven't kept in touch with anyone from HS. Compared to other public transportation systems, Marta is an embarrassment. I use to take it to work when I lived in Decatur. Sometimes a smart move, sometimes not. Good idea to stay in downtown Decatur. So much to offer within walking distance.
	9:50am Handy Haversack: Gotta run an errand with the hound. Back soonest!
	9:50am Hughie Considine: This proud primate welcomes all the edumication this fine station can offer.
	9:51am tim from washington: Hi trouble and everyone!
	9:53am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Bachianas Brasilieras No. 6" by "plinio fernandes" Listening to this and staring out the window at the grey morning is a sweet spot.
	9:54am happymaan: I will be asking my barber to put on WFMU when I get my haircut.
	9:54am Zinn The Mood: Hey Trouble and Troublemakers. In the car with the family on the way to Philly for a coupla days, listening to Trouble. Looking forward to finally getting some reception as we eventually head southwest. On way out dropped off a check in the mail for the garage that houses all my music equipment. Kind of makes me sick whenever I think that there’s very little choice in stamps. Looking at the big American flag on it screams American Exceptionalism brainwashing to me, and explained that to the kid, who was asking about it. Asking, because, I frequently talk to them about such things. A refrain, that they often repeat back to me when we’re talking about how flags inherently are about superiority and serve to divide people, is “One World, No Flags.” Suffice to say any historic places we may visit will be explained through the lens of a couple of parents who dissent from and push back on all coordinated state propaganda. Khyber Pass for lunch, Wooden Shoes at some point.
	9:54am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @9:48 Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. No words can ease that pain, I wish I could.
	9:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ Vivian @9:50 I have stayed in downtown ATL before -- my dad worked at the Regency, so that was a nostalgic place to be. But it seems like all is happening in Decatur this year. And my school is not TOO far from the Candler Park MARTA station.
	9:55am tim from washington: ↳ Robm @9:49 Was there talk about Midsomer Murders? i like that show too.
	9:56am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @9:49 Congratulations on winning the chili cookoff! If you do enter Chomp and Stomp, I'll come by and support you guys! What is Courtney growing in her garden?
	9:57am Robm: ↳ tim from washington @9:55 Trouble mentioned it on her first mike break
	9:58am Pax: I remember watching a doc about primates way long ago. And they said that all other primate's see humans as puny little primates
	9:59am love2laf: ↳ tim from washington @9:55 Trouble talked about it in relation to a new to her show that she's loving www.imdb.com...
	9:59am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Pax @9:58 Don't fight a chimp. You'll regret it.
	9:59am Frank Zaatar: It is great to hear solo oud on FMU. May I point out that Udi Neset Bey is the artist and Nihavent Taksim ("Improvisation in the Nihavent mode") is the piece?
	9:59am StringOFperils: ↳ tim from washington @9:55 Midsomer Murders always amuses me , because more murders take place there than the total population of the place. And much sleuthing happens in order to work out whodunnit out of the entire village of...how many bodies actually reside there anyway?! Oh well, I don't care. It's kind of crazy brain candy.
	10:00am alanr: Buenos dīas. So far so good, not that I would expect anything different from Trouble. Interesting and not distracting (too much), while I work on stuff. let's see, Mexico city today high in the 70s. No insane winter storm!
	10:01am tim from washington: ↳ Trouble @9:11 I'm currently reading Xstabeth by David Keenan. There jury's still out what I think of it. I loved his NF book England's Hidden Reverse. Xstabeth starts out with some really cringeworthy writing but it seems to have evened out some. Recent books that have knowcked me out is Alexandra's (from the comments board) Heartbreaker. alexandramartinez.bandcamp.com... Also Cosey Fanni Tutti's 'Re-Sisters' and Bruce Adams' 'You're With Stupid'.
	10:02am Trouble: exactly @ string of perils!
	10:02am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @9:56 Thank you! She's growing so much.. Bok choy ,arugula ,tomatoes, strawberries Parsley cilantro, lettuce, cabbage, brussel sprouts broccoli, spinach snap peas... That's not even all of it
	10:02am Trouble: thanks@frank zaatar, i belabored over that for a long time
	10:03am happymaan: All starting from seeds except the strawberries.
	10:03am happymaan: We also have a Venus flytrap we've kept alive for 3 years now.
	10:03am tim from washington: ↳ StringOFperils @9:59 That aspect cracks me up too. There's a recent book that focuses on that aspect of numerous BBC mysteries.
	10:04am Robm: ↳ love2laf @9:59 Oops should have paid more attention
	10:04am tim from washington: ↳ Song: "do what you gotta do" by "nina simone" Man, this is a great one!
	10:05am Frank Zaatar: ↳ happymaan @10:03 Glad to oblige /be a nudnik.
	10:07am Triple G in NYC: Aliens?! Yip yip, boing boing (thanks Joe)
	10:07am morphe': was that the sound during the Bey track or cassette hissing???
	10:07am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @10:02 Wow, I'm impressed! I tested some old seeds in the front bed, nothing grew which I'm not surprised. Going to start lettuce from new seeds this weekend. So the herbs and tomatoes, are they plants in the ground? Or starting from seed?
	10:09am Panda Penguin: I remember listening to the hour-long block of Nina you played for her 85th birthday - first time I'd ever heard her version of My Sweet Lord, and it stopped me in my tracks. To this day, one of the single greatest radio-listening experiences I've ever had.
	10:09am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and Everyone. Snow day and COVID (still) here. I hope everything is going well with all of you.
	10:09am Phillippe: Last time I was abducted by aliens I asked them to take care of my colonoscopy while they were doing their probing, but they wouldn't accept my insurance.
	10:09am HotTopicValuedCustomer: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:54 Iffy Books is another rad bookstore in Philly - more hacker-centric than Wooden Shoe but lots of cool DIY kits that might be interesting for the kiddos.
	10:09am morphe': ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:54 Some folks put the flag stamp upside down as a wee protest - which, I was told, is a US Navy signal of distress
	10:11am love2laf: ↳ rx scabin @10:09 Snow, snow, snow here too. Hope you are on the mend soon, and it passes lightly.
	10:12am Marko: Sorry for posting this observation late post-mention by Trouble ... As the star of "Bergerac," set and usually filmed in the Channel Island of Jersey, John Nettles was a charismatic, athletic actor who made the British gossip columns every time he took off his shirt, which seems like every episode. Watching Nettles star as Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby in the brilliant "Midsomer Murders," Barnaby increasingly orders his detective sergeant subordinates to climb through windows and chase suspects down village lanes. Unlike Bergerac, Tom Barnaby is portrayed as staid, certainly stuck in the societal and musical past. The 1970s? In some ways, more in the 1950s. It's a witty contrast with Barnaby's young, hipper sergeants.
	10:13am steveo: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:54 there is a wide variety of stamps for sale at usps.com ("shop" link top of page)
	10:13am Trouble: @ morphe' the sound was not in the transmission out to you all
	10:13am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @10:03 Yikes, you answered my question! Share some photos of the garden, I love to see them. It will give me a good kick in the butt to get moving on seeds for the spring. Plan to start peppers and tomatoes this week.
	10:14am morphe': ↳ Handy Haversack @9:46 First time in Atlanta 1990s - was ionvited to an ED conference and was put up in the DwTwn Hyatt. Arrived at night and when I awoke in the morning and saw only a canopy of tress DWnTN??? I thought of Planet of the Apes and that so called civilization was retrograde... Liked walking the city...
	10:14am steveo: ↳ morphe' @10:09 putting the stamp upside-down means love in my book
	10:15am Trouble: thanks!@ marko:after a quick goggle i was surprised to see the attention that bergerac received since i was introduced to nettles via midsommer murder
	10:17am eric from lake hiawatha: Gal Costa then Nina Simone…that’s Trouble
	10:17am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "in these times" by "Makaya McCraven" Trippy track. Almost like taking the soul/funk canvass and twisting it up with jazz, prog, and even rave or something.
	10:18am TDK60: I always point my postage stamps diagonally, northeast. Of course.
	10:20am Yetizen: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:54 you could get stamps honoring Toni Morrison or Ernest J Gaines. Or cute kittens. store.usps.com...
	10:20am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Panda Penguin @10:09 WKCR on Tuesday for Nina’s bday was a sheer joy. In same set with an epic live version of My Sweet Lord was her beautiful interpretation of Isn’t It A Pity.
	10:20am Pax: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:59 No one ever accused me of being the brightest bulb in the batch, but such a bizarre idea as that never even entered my mind.
	10:22am morphe': ↳ steveo @10:14 Got in Trouble in mt Bklyn Catholic HS = 70s and they were trying to give me the boot, but the Principal Bros Kiran Powers looked kindly on me and blocked the expulsion with the stipulation that it was my job to put up the flag in fron of the school each am: "character builing.." Got called to the office one first period and told I had put the flag up upside down and was told that is an SOS signal???? Love sounds better...
	10:23am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:20 Howdy Zinn. I made a 120- minute cassette of part of that WKCR Nina special, while I listened to WFMU.
	10:23am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @10:07 All from seeds starting inside in little pods, they will be ready to go in the ground soon I think. I set up a mini indoor area with UV lights for her babies.
	10:25am Zinn The Mood: ↳ HotTopicValuedCustomer @10:09 Very cool! Thanks HTVC! Will add that to agenda.
	10:25am Phillippe: ↳ TDK60 @10:23 Ah, I just made a connection to your screen name. Was not thinking of the cassette tape
	10:26am happymaan: ↳ Vivian @10:13 I just e-mailed you, send me your #
	10:30am Ken From Hyde Park: On PBS the other night, they were showing "American Masters: How It Feels To Be Free" that had some video of Nina Simone and other artists. I think the show was from 2021 and they re-aired it. Not sure if it's available for viewing online.
	10:31am Ken From Hyde Park: After five seconds of internet search, here it is: www.pbs.org...
	10:31am Zinn The Mood: ↳ morphe' @10:09 Heh…I’ve done that too. The last time on that stupid big flag one I wrote (when I had more time) underneath it: No Fascism! Another gross thing is the amount of flags on these highway overpasses. I mean, what other country is as pathetically nationalistic as this? I’ve traveled a bit and have never seen this kind of omnipresence anywhere else. It’s so deeply ingrained here that few even stop to notice.
	10:32am Mike W.: Misty Mountain Float
	10:32am TDK60: ↳ Phillippe @10:25 Hi Phillippe- Yeah, tape. I don't record many cassettes anymore; usually I use them for special radio shows on other stations where such won't be archived.
	10:33am happymaan: ↳ TDK60 @10:32 the program Total Recorder is great for recording steaming audio.
	10:35am happymaan: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:40 Look up the restaurant "Little Bear" in Atlanta, see if that place interests you.
	10:35am morphe': ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:31 Spain is rife with flags and Nationalism and racism and outright blatant fascism ....
	10:36am Greg g: Lovely track here by Chiu and Honer. Thanks and good morning Trouble, everyone
	10:37am Vivian: ↳ happymaan @10:23 Good job! UV lights is the way to go. We use hay bales and an old window as a makeshift greenhouse. Once the seeds sprout, we move them outside. My first batch of peppers resulted in one or two plants. I know where I screwed up.
	10:37am Mike W.: Misty Mountain Haunt
	10:40am rx scabin: @morphe' sounds like Florida and where I live.
	10:41am prof.fuzz: morning y'all! @morphe' : thanks for your kind words the other day. we appreciate it!
	10:41am Handy Haversack: Back with you! A little chilled but thrilled to be here!
	10:41am TDK60: ↳ happymaan @10:33 happymaan, Thanks. I'll try to look up that that program. Once I get through all the other things-to-look-up-that-came-up-on-the-wfmu-comment-board-list-already.
	10:43am katharsis: This is lovely
	10:43am Handy Haversack: ↳ tim from washington @10:01 Oh my god, I LOVED Xstabeth! That voice is ... a voice. Go with it. That book is gorgeous. A nineteenth-century Russian novel with obscure outsider music, Scotland, and golf. Absolute love. Also by DK: This Is Memorial Device. Just a wonder of a book.
	10:44am morphe': ↳ prof.fuzz @10:41 Just the truth, really like the sound(s) !!!! Keep up the good work !!!!!
	10:44am Zinn The Mood: ↳ morphe' @10:35 Sad to hear. I swear, on my trips to Italy, I’ve seen more “Pace” flags with the earth on them than Italian ones on people's homes.
	10:46am Phillippe: ↳ TDK60 @10:32 I had soooo many tapes from back in the day. The box of them got lost in our last move, including the tape the DJ made for us at our wedding.
	10:47am Jason from Houston: OH YES
	10:47am Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "computer age" by "neil young" "Computer Age" and "Hot Stuff," discuss.
	10:48am Jason from Houston: So many good things today. You are the best, Trouble.
	10:48am sydnius: ↳ Song: "computer age" by "neil young" KraftNeil
	10:48am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "computer age" by "neil young" Where is Mark Hurst?
	10:48am Magenta: ↳ Song: "computer age" by "neil young" Before I looked at the playlist I thought this was YMO.
	10:48am Trouble: thanks@jason! you are so supportive: love that!!!
	10:49am listener james from westwood: ↳ Magenta @10:48 I hear ya on this! Love that this track has so many likes.
	10:49am TDK60: ↳ Phillippe @10:46 Phillippe: Sadly, this problem still is with me. Stacks, boxes, piles, shelves.
	10:49am steveo: golly why do i love this Neil?
	10:50am morphe': ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:44 Zinn .. so funny .. I travelled small villages in Northern Italy as the 2nd Iraq war loomed and was struck by all the Rainbow flags but ,in my ignorance of the meaning then and there, I thought: "can there really be so many gay people/supporters in these little villages.." Finally realized .. after a week or two..
	10:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ happymaan @10:35 Looks real nice, happymaan. Actually has vegetarian food, which is not always the case in ATL. I am hoping to have the chance to get over to Soul Vegetarian (please please please let it still be there). And of course I have to get a slice at Fellini's just to make it all official.
	10:50am rx scabin: Thank you for the music, Trouble. I must go chip the ice off the car. Good luck, Everyone.
	10:52am Phillippe: Just came across this article, relevant to the books and bookstore, albeit a little late: lithub.com...
	10:52am steveo: this comes within 5% of my gif rate; nice
	10:53am Phillippe: *bookstore discussion
	10:53am Zinn The Mood: ↳ morphe' @10:50 Same timeframe for me! And to think, in the birthplace of “fascism.”
	10:54am Triple G in NYC: That Neil Young track/album led to a lot of antipathy between he and David Geffen
	10:54am Vivian: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 Love Soul Vegetarian! It's been quite some time since I've eaten there. Pretty sure it's still on Highland.
	10:54am Triple G in NYC: ↳ Triple G in NYC @10:54 Seems to be looked back on with polarizing opinions, but I think it's so surprising and underrated
	10:55am sydnius: ↳ Song: "lido's square/pae joao, menina da janela, oan, ma... rooting for Courageous Cat
	10:55am Roberto: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 Check HappyCow.net!
	10:57am Triple G in NYC: This show's had a great flow ... time is flying by
	11:01am Trouble: gracias@ triple g!
	11:03am Yetizen: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 Interesting, there's a Soul Vegetarian in Chicago, I wonder if they are connected?
	11:04am sydnius: ↳ Yetizen @11:03 so… wormhole?
	11:05am Handy Haversack: ↳ Roberto @10:55 Nice, thanks, Roberto.
	11:05am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetizen @11:03 Hmm. The one in Atlanta has been there since I was a kid. And there was SVII as well, at least for a while. Maybe they expanded?
	11:06am Greg g: First time hearing Tribo Massahi! Thanks Trouble!
	11:07am Yetizen: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:05 Chicago's Soul Veg has been around since 1981. I just found this: "Soul Vegetarian Restaurant is one of the largest chains of Vegan Restaurants in the world and operates under the auspices of the Hebrew Israelite Community of Jerusalem"
	11:08am Triple G in NYC: @Greg g - I see we have something in common
	11:09am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetizen @11:07 Huh! I had no idear! Then why can't we have one in Brooklyn? (Secretly hoping Yetizen immediately is like, "And it turns out there's one in Brooklyn.")
	11:09am sydnius: ↳ Yetizen @11:07 Ⓚ neat
	11:09am Yetizen: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:09 chicago.eater.com... - if you ever come to Chicago we will go there!
	11:10am northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:09 There used to be Mighty Diamond, but that turned into Mothers...
	11:10am Yetizen: I used to go there a lot but not since the 'demic
	11:10am Handy Haversack: Jennifer Egan on Techtonic: www.wfmu.org...
	11:11am morphe': Clay was asking about other musical Rolands and speaking of books and Musical Rolands= Roland the Minstrel Pig, William Steig
	11:11am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetizen @11:09 OMX, would go there right now!
	11:12am listener james from westwood: Sooo wish I could get down there this year for phone work. Still too much risk for where I'm at. Will pledge, though!
	11:12am happymaan: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:11 Did you look up Little Bear in ATL?
	11:14am Pax: You seem to know about germinating seeds, so on the outside chance that you might know about pinecone seeds and the best way to grow them. I've had the idea to get them growing in a cup and planting them in near by wooded area's. I tried doing that in the past with no results. Don't know what I did wrong, so I thought maybe you have some tips
	11:14am Yetizen: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:09 Trying to find a complete list of locations but no luck. There seem to be Soul Veg.'s in Atlanta, Chicago, Tallahasse and Cleveland.
	11:15am Webhamster Henry: In re: Marathon, NPR is laying off 10% of their staff due to "the erosion of advertising dollars". Revenue that WFMU doesn't have in the first place!
	11:16am Magenta: I signed up to volunteer both weekends. I can't wait to do so! I can't give as much as I did last year but I hope to make it up in volunteer work.
	11:16am sydnius: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:15 Wait, wait don’t fire me
	11:16am harpospeaks: great track
	11:16am Pax: ↳ Pax @11:14 My last post was meant for happyman.
	11:17am listener james from westwood: I miss stuffing envelopes and stickering postcards. That latter might come back with the return of the Record Fair, though!
	11:18am happymaan: Later folks, be well. Time to head out for that much needed haircut.
	11:18am happymaan: ↳ Pax @11:16 Sorry, I really don't know anything about seeds or anything, it's all my wife.
	11:19am morphe': Must get food stuffs... Thanks TROUBLE !!! and all !!!!
	11:20am happymaan: ↳ Pax @11:16 But I did ask her, I'll let you know...she's at work though. I'll hit you up through the friendship society.
	11:20am Trouble: lots of talk about planting today on the comments board, so you might be interested in this podcast www.agrariantrust.org...
