	9:19am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Fred and Alan @9:15 Since getting acquainted with you I always think of people who work in stores differently and try to be as nice as possible. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on how people can be nicer. Peace and love to both of you!
	9:19am Juli: ↳ sydnius @9:19 <3 Prince can du no wrong!
	9:21am Fred and Alan: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:19 Being sarcastic Edgar they are not the nicest people on Earth
	9:22am Fred and Alan: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:19 Most of them are rotten animals that were never taught manners
	9:22am sydnius: Maybe establishments could pipe drugs that make the customers more kind into the air. Seems legal in today’s Supreme Court.
	9:23am dinner: Prince famously never smiled at photographs of cats

	9:25am sydnius: ↳ Juli @9:24 Who doesn’t like “Brave”, and “New”?
	9:26am Juli: ↳ sydnius @9:25 Truth Decriminalized
	9:26am sydnius: ↳ Juli @9:26 All drugs need to be decrim. Radical, yes, but making is a crime made the problem far worse.
	9:28am love2laf: Good morning Trouble and all the modern world people on the accu. Hope that things go way better than expected at work today for you Fred & Alan.
	9:28am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "i'll close my eyes" by "dinah washington" This Dinah cut is really hittin' the spot.
	9:28am Mike W.: TItMW just hits different when you’re hearing it for the first time in your new house
	9:31am Trouble: congratulations @ mike W!
	9:32am sydnius: ↳ Trouble @9:31 Trouble, is that cross-eyed kitty pic new? love it
	9:33am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Mike W. @9:28 Congrats and home sweet home Mike W! I know the feeling.
	9:34am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Grief Fields" by "post moves & the sound memeory ... LOVE this!
	9:35am Zinn The Mood: Hey Trouble and comrades… Needed this Dinah Washington. Had the phone on WKCR this morning while riding with the kids to school and they were playing an amazing live album of hers. Must familiarize myself more. Morning with a string of small frustrations: discovered yet another water bottle was left at the school playground and is gone; the other one misplaced or lost a riding helmet, then my bike chain locked up and had to seek the help of a stranger, followed by just squeezing the coffee bag too hard and it exploding all over the floor. Really good thing to be doing the deep breathing exercises first thing in the morning again. Have done yoga and a cold shower. Got the requisite morning drinks, and now Trouble’s soothing sounds and you all. Grazie amici.
	9:35am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Mike W. @9:28 Very nice. Enjoy your new place in the sun.
	9:35am Trouble: nope,@ sydnius not new, kerchief covered kitty has been up for ages
	9:36am sydnius: ↳ Trouble @9:35 yeah I figured it was just “new to my eyes”. 😸
	9:36am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning Trouble.
	9:38am love2laf: ↳ Mike W. @9:28 Congrats, hope all is going well with the move, it is a happy time, but can be stressful too. Trouble's music will so help with that.
	9:38am sydnius: An IKEA nearby is a new homeowner’s friend.
	9:39am Mike W.: Thanks y’all! Honestly I have never known such a feeling before and, further to that, did not expect to be a homeowner, ever. Life comes at you, or to you, sometimes fast, other times just unexpectedly.
	9:39am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:35 Good morning, Zinn. Those little things and bigger ones by degree can add up to annoyance. I just got back from a walk to the park. I saw someone had stolen the tires off a car. Somewhat big annoyance for that car owner. Luckily Out there I wore a mask, avoiding the smoke from the Nova Scotia fire, that's drifted to NYC.
	9:39am sydnius: ↳ Mike W. @9:39 You know where the water and electric shutoffs are?
	9:40am Fred and Alan: ↳ love2laf @9:28 Thanks love2laf hows everything Fred and Alan LOVE YOU
	9:41am love2laf: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:35 Your string of small frustrations so resonates. It is good that you are finding ways to cope and move through the day. Gives hope to read.
	9:42am sydnius: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:35 I am having a similarly disastrous morning. I’ll spare deets.
	9:42am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @9:39 "Luckily" I wore my mask. I have "luck" some days.
	9:42am Mike W.: and the IKEA is just up Route 1 about 15 mins away…and it’s sunny…and me and Dog are essentially squatting in an unfurnished bungalow for two months. Wild mellow life. Three dog beds, 14 dog toys scattered about, and one hard wooden chair for human. Kinda perfect.
	9:43am Juli: City life so rough I'm going small wooded town
	9:43am Fred and Alan: ↳ sydnius @9:42 you can tell us we share all our problems with all you great people on here
	9:43am Listener Bryan (the Professor): Love this Brian Harnetty record so much.
	9:43am Listener Bryan (the Professor): (gm Trouble and crew)
	9:44am sydnius: ↳ Fred and Alan @9:43 hehe I keep my laundry in—house 😎
	9:44am Robm: Good morning trouble and fellow troublemakers @Zinn we all have those days, just breath and listen to nice calming music
	9:44am love2laf: ↳ Fred and Alan @9:40 Better than yesterday. My sleep was troubled with nightmares from the 1 inch hornet fiasco yesterday, but dreams are ways of unpacking your day in your brain, so tonight should be better. Love to you both, and may your day be filled with customers who have good manners.
	9:46am Mike W.: Sydnius I have no clue where any of that stuff is! Today is an off-work day so after decades in a cramped East Village apt, I begin to learn how a house works today. (The prev owners left a stack of info, they did right by us and vice ver$a.)
	9:46am Chris Hiatt: Loving this opening set! It's like hanging out in a zen garden.
	9:46am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Juli @9:43 The grass is always greener. We moved back to the city from the country. I love nature but she is hard bargainer when it comes to living in her bosom.
	9:46am love2laf: ↳ Robm @9:44 Good morning to you, and hope you're not experiencing one of those days. You're right, the music really soothes and uplifts on the modern world.
	9:46am Robm: ↳ love2laf @9:44 L2L hope your having a better day and no more nightmares
	9:47am Fred and Alan: ↳ sydnius @9:44 OK But you know Fred and Alan opened up about our daily stories to all
	9:47am sydnius: ↳ Fred and Alan @9:47 Thanks, some problems I may share, these are private
	9:48am Fred and Alan: Ok sorry we want everything to be great for you
	9:48am love2laf: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:46 Oh hello fellow country-is-not-blissful companion. The list of things I miss grows exponentially every day. Where I live is beautiful, but it is so very challenging.
	9:49am Robm: ↳ love2laf @9:46 If i have a day where i have problems with people will put earphones on go outside and listen to WFMU and lurk on the accu
	9:51am Edgar from Maine: ↳ love2laf @9:48 I learned and mastered: 1. Cutting trees down is easy; cutting them UP is hard. 2. Poison ivy and bug bites must never bother you. 3. Raccoons think that your house is an obstacle easily navigated when they smell cat food. Etc. I miss the hell out of it but now I only spend an hour a week gardening.
	9:51am Robm: ↳ sydnius @9:47 If you feel comfortable talking about your problems on here with no judgement go for it
	9:52am Zinn The Mood: Trouble’s set sure is helping! Sometimes I wonder how I appear to others, because my release is often to unload a torrent of curses. My partner thinks it’s crazy. But goddamn it - it helps somehow! Heh… As the ground coffee was exploding I’d been thinking of, and just recounted to her, another incident of enraging price-gouging at the local grocery stores. And this, just after she tells me last night that the grocer by the subway we patronize yet again overcharged for fruit. That’s a third time in about 10 days! Folks, even if you’re conditioned to just automatically give your card at the checkout, ya gotta check the receipt!
	9:53am love2laf: ↳ Robm @9:49 Smart, very smart. Part of why when internet & laptop & streaming issues can make a tough day even tougher.
	9:55am Trouble: i am just finishing up a gorgeous book by Maggie O'Farrell: the vanishing act of esme lennox. Have been reading lots of irish writers lately. Additional Irish suggestions from colm toibin when i saw him at little city books recently: Colin Barrett, Luke Cassidy, Naoise Dolan, Rob Doyle, Nicole Flattery, Mike McCormack, Eimear McBride, Lisa McInerney, and Belinda McKeon.
	9:56am love2laf: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:51 Interesting take, and it's not just racoons. Red squirrels will happily gnaw their way through a screen window for cheese bread. Adding to your list. 4 electricity is not a guarantee for any length of time, be sure to have an outhouse. 5. No one and nothing can be delivered to your home, and many things will not be deliverable to your PO Box. 6. No matter how carefully you stack your woodpile, it will fall down.
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Trouble, check out Patrick O'Keefe and John McGahern also.
	9:57am Robm: ↳ love2laf @9:53 Oh yeah that part bites when your wifi is wonky and you have to reset it fun times
	9:57am Malcolm: I've heard good things about John mcgahern
	9:57am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:52 Zinn, the bigger agri-food corporations upped prices so the retail food stores will too. I complain politely with the checkout cashiers. I usually say, "Hey food prices are up, but not my wages! Hee." The cashiers often smilingly agree, if the manager's not around. With street fruit vendors; if they charge too much for bananas, I walk away.
	9:58am Mike W.: Fantastic Irish nomenclaturae there
	10:00am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "as it is" by "liz durette" This is some yummy stuff and VERY MODERN!
	10:00am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all! Shaking off the cobwebs...
	10:00am Thin Slice: ↳ Trouble @9:55 I read two books by Sebastian Barry in May. Both very different from one another, but I liked both of them, and plan to read more of him.
	10:02am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @9:39 Hey TDK. That’s funny, though not really. Another dad at the school playground recently told me, in a discussion of why we continue to live in the city with kids (the incredible cultural diversity of the people in Queens came up big), that he recently came out to the street to find his car up on two milk crates and also missing two wheels. Made him for the first time give up owning a car. Just finished Ada Calhoun’s “St Mark’s Is Dead” book. Your comment brought back images of the Tompkins Sq Pk showdowns and other scenes of urban struggle of which are part of life here. Think you’d like it.
	10:02am Juli: I need a writer who writes w very frilly language
	10:03am Juli: I have ADHD :{ I usually read non fiction or like Tom Robbins or the classics
	10:03am Edgar from Maine: ↳ love2laf @9:56 Haha! 100% nailed it. All of those things. And you have to be a plumber, electrician, carpenter and landscaper because good luck getting any of em to show up.
	10:04am Robm: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:00 Hey threemoons
	10:04am tranewreck: @trouble….Kevin Barry (City of Bohane) is also worth a look
	10:05am Robm: Hi Juli
	10:05am Edgar from Maine: But being face to face with nature like that was a life shakingly positive experience. Humbling, centering, and very helpful in figuring out my own human-ness.
	10:06am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Just ordered St. Marks is Dead. I LOVE WFMU because not a day goes by where I don't discover a new band or find a new book to read...love this community.
	10:06am Juli: ↳ Robm @10:05 :::}
	10:08am love2laf: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:03 You have no idea how seen I'm feeling right now. Washing machine broke in the middle of winter, road is finally doable for delivery and waiting. Hot water heater blew up, in winter, paid the big bucks for those who do the country thing. And so much more. And yes, it's very humanising. I'm loving watching a pair of phoebes nesting in my woodshed, in my neck of the blackflies & mosquito filled yard. Watching the wildlife is such a blessing.
	10:08am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Mike W. @9:46 Wow, congratulations! Really nice to hear when things work out, re: previous owners doing the right thing. Intense and exciting. Best of luck!
	10:09am Robm: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:06 So cool, i have found ever since i gave up on commercial music radio and it’s SSDD crap between this station and a couple of others my musical journey has gotten better
	10:09am Zipperhead7: Good morning Troubled modernists!
	10:10am Matt Alston: Great to hear the new Liz Durette. My old friend the late Vic Chestnut’s’ niece.
	10:11am Juli: Oh Made Up Dramas:::::}
	10:13am Juli: This Home Renovation Show is MIND BLOWINGLY pretty:::: I luv redoing homes I luv new spaces It moves energy around. Changes things
	10:17am Zinn The Mood: Beautiful mention of Gwendolyn, and her wonderful work. Two nights ago spent a lovely evening at the Louis Armstrong Museum, attending a showing of the film “Louis Armstrong’s Black and Blues,” in the backyard of his former home and current museum: youtu.be... Definitely recommended. Feels to me that your show, possibly more than any other on the station, is a place where there’d be a greater proportion of folks who revere N’awlins. But having said that, it occurs to me that it would probably be true station-wide. Gem of a city; so unlike the rest of this hellhole country.
	10:17am morphe': Trouble - heard ya say yer heading to Ireland. i'm there/here until 9 July and back again Aug 1st .... near Dingle, Kerry .. I'l send an email and make lunch/dinner if ya come this way ... there is another local listener [Nial] who would most lokely do something hospitable in my absence... I'll check with him before booking him for anything .... must go for now .. thanks for spinning...
	10:18am tim from washington: Hello trouble and everyone!
	10:23am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Robm @10:09 Totally. The only "commercial" radio that I indulge in is good old 1010 WINS -- local and world news on loop along with traffic even though I don't have a car -- "you give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world." I can hear the jingle in my head. Growing up, whenever we drove ANYWHERE in the 5 boros or Long Island, Mom had that on the car radio for the traffic updates as this was before cell phones, GPS, etc -- I still remember the reports from the WINS "Jam Cam" -- realtime traffic reporting. Also the old ancient jingle from Rheingold Beer ... valleyvillage.home.blog...
	10:25am Lixiviated Life: Missed my train. Headed to MET to see Cypresses Now I have no excuse but to do my chores.
	10:25am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: love this rome song. heard it blasting at Brussels pride fest.
	10:26am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: a song about italy in french lol
	10:29am Juli: My 84 year old client is teaching my all this detailed math about the stock market don't understand a word really understood a video we watched about it but its all jargon He thinks Ill be financially independent from it once I learn it well
	10:29am sydnius: ↳ morphe' @10:17 You two will have a great time there meeting up or not– ’tis a magical place 🇮🇪
	10:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ sydnius @10:29 There's a great bookstore in Galway City if you make it there, Trouble.
	10:30am Mike W.: oooh, those swelling strings
	10:32am Juli: This is a beautiful song. As usual Trouble
	10:33am sydnius: ↳ Juli @10:29 The crypto is so real… until it isn’t 💸
	10:33am Chris Hiatt: Reading and working through The Artist's Way currently. Tried it once before a LONG time ago, but more serious about it this go around. Trying to free up that flow. This is the latest nonfiction selection, I always alternate fiction and non.
	10:34am still b/p: Thing about radio -- yer old-school, terrestrial broadcast legacy radio -- they STILL do things like Secret Sound Contest, more than half a century after I first heard 'em do it, along with "cash/jackpot calls," etc. Does that malarkey persist because it actually generates or holds more listeners, better ratings? Beautiful music for late breakfast, Trouble.
	10:35am Zinn The Mood: ↳ love2laf @10:08 Your interesting conversation with @Edgar made me think of this Werner Herzog film: youtu.be... Talk about remote living!
	10:36am Handy Haversack: Has anyone read this yet? shop.wordbookstores.com... Might be grabbing in my next bookstore run.
	10:36am love2laf: ↳ still b/p @10:34 I think it is mostly about advertising dollars. Many people in cars have no option but the local radio stations, and that's how the local advertising dollars get spent.
	10:36am Juli: ↳ sydnius @10:33 He compiled his life work of studying stocks into pages for me I have to learn it lol
	10:40am love2laf: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:35 If you were to arrive here in winter, you may easily think that's exactly where you are. I'm sure an expert would know by the tree variety that they were Algonquin Park adjacent, but the setting is remarkably similar.
	10:40am Cooh John: Hello Trouble and troublations. Poked my head in and found talk about Ireland and Herzog. My kind of people. See you also, Handy. Say hi to K8 and the critters.
	10:41am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:36 Handy, no. I just read a review of another David Graeber book on pirates in Madagascar who had an egalitarian society. Too bad Graeber died too young.
	10:41am Handy Haversack: ↳ Cooh John @10:40 Hey, Cooh John. Will do. Heading back to Union Pool tonight. I think McGroovey will be there again.
	10:41am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:36 That looks pretty interesting, Handy. I'll look for that at the local library.
	10:43am love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:41 You must be feeling better today then, fantastic news that you're up to going out tonight. Hope K8 stays well, always a challenge when one is sick, both usually end up sick.
	10:44am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: sugar hiccups
	10:44am Cooh John: I will be there in spirit, HH.
	10:44am Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @10:43 If I can keep my feet underneath me, we should be in good shape. Much better than the other day, thanks, love2laf. We're seeing Bug Club tonight and then Sisters of Mercy tomorrow, so I need to get myself steeled and ready.
	10:44am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:41 I wish I could go out on a school night and still be useful the next day. I took last Friday off, spent the day in the City, and slept the rest of the long weekend.
	10:44am Mike W.: aaaahhh Cocteaus❗️ now it’s a perfect morning
	10:45am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:36 I have not, but def looks interesting. There is a new bookstore opening in my 'hood! When does that ever happen? Lofty Pigeon Books, we're all excited over here.
	10:46am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Speaking of books RE egalitarian systems and pirates - www.thriftbooks.com...
	10:46am Thin Slice: A nonfiction book about Ireland that I can recommend is We Don't Know Ourselves by Fintan O'Toole. The author uses his life, starting with his childhood in a Dublin suburb in the 1950s, and the events he has seen over the last 60 years, to give a cultural and political history of the country. It's best read when not traveling, though. It's very heavy. :-)
	10:47am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Chris Hiatt @10:45 New bookstores are always cool!
	10:47am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:44 Handy Haversack - Party Animal Party Machine! Way to go on catching back to back shows.
	10:48am sydnius: ↳ Thin Slice @10:46 put in a hold at the Library, thx for suggestion!
	10:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Also, go read this -- just finished this -- amazing semi-autobiographical work by Blixa Bargeld. Read it in English, may get a copy in German to work those neurons and keep my German fresh. www.contramundumpress.com...
	10:49am Bryant in TO: ↳ TDK60 @10:41 That sounds fascinating. I read Graeber's "Debt" and it changed my view of the world even if I can't quite articulate how. Speaking of, "Bullshit Jobs" articulated so many things that I just feel in my bones. God, yeah it hurts that we lost him so soon.
	10:50am Thin Slice: ↳ sydnius @10:48 You're welcome!
	10:51am Lixiviated Life: hello? No sound from the web stream. Am I gonna have to tune in to QXR? This is not my day.
	10:51am love2laf: In a former life, I co-owned 2 used bookstores, and read at least a book a day. It is good to be reminded of such things. Be kind to your local bookstores, it can be so challenging to keep it afloat.
	10:52am love2laf: ↳ Lixiviated Life @10:51 On the aac stream, and all is good here, and I am the person who likely has the worst internet on the accu.
	10:52am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Lixiviated Life @10:51 Try refreshing, had a brief outage but a refresh fixed.
	10:53am Juli: ↳ love2laf @10:51 Supporting local means everything to me Esp books I collect them
	10:53am Lixiviated Life: I'll give it a go
	10:53am Trouble: any suggestions for great bookstores in dublin?
	10:54am tim from washington: I'm currently reading 2 books. One is Hit Girls : Women of Punk In The USA, 1975 - 1983. I covers so many bands! Only about half of them I've heard of. I wish each bands story could have been fleshed out but it's still a good resource. The other book I'm reading/looking at is Andres Serranos 'Uncensored Photographs'. I picked it up because while I was looking through it at the library I realized that I found most of his themes to be sophmoric rather than challenging. I decided to still get the book and read the essays to better understand his work.
	10:54am Lixiviated Life: ACC works
	10:55am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @10:53 We weren't there long enough to go book hunting, but I do really recommend going to Kilmainham Gaol. You have to book in advance if you want a tour, though you can see the museum exhibits without one. Really powerful. A brutal place.
	10:56am tim from washington: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:48 That looks really cool, Threemoons! I had no idea Blixa Bargeld had a book. I'm definitely going to seek it out.
	10:57am sydnius: ↳ Lixiviated Life @10:54 ACC is the best anyway, lots of little improvements make the cymbal shimmer better for sure
	10:57am love2laf: ↳ Juli @10:53 Your bookstores are grateful for that. I'm glad my businesses shuttered before Amazon became an even bigger juggernaut than it was back then.
	10:57am Trouble: sorry i will not tour a brewery or a prison.
	10:57am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @10:41 Weird about Graeber. Like all the greats he’s always very much alive with us in his amazingly connective writing. But at the same time there’s a lament that we won’t be getting more from this uniquely gifted and compassionate anarchist. And now there’s this pirate book! Makes me joyful. Intend to get to that over the summer… Have been on a mission to get friends to read The Dawn of Everything. Have just succeeded with my oldest friend in the world. I’m off on bicycle to the Langston Hughes library before having to pick up the kids. If anyone else is interested in the anti-capitalist TroubleMakers meetup, send me an email (question: are most folks partial to an afternoon or early eve weekend gathering, or an evening during the week?
	10:58am Juli: ↳ love2laf @10:57 Used books are the way::::
	10:58am sydnius: ↳ Trouble @10:57 The view from up there is the best in all of Dublin!
	10:58am Juli: I also love getting out of the house to shop.
	11:00am sydnius: (The free whisky tasting at Jameson’s is nice too)
	11:00am Thin Slice: ↳ Trouble @10:53 It's no longer an independent store, but Hodges Figgis on Dawson St by the Trinity campus has been in Dublin for a couple of centuries. It gets a mention in Ulysses. It's now a Waterstone's in disguise.
	11:02am Trouble: looking for an independent book store rec and also used bookstores in dublin
	11:02am Ike: Greetings!
	11:08am Marie de Queens: Hello Trouble and Troublers (? @)). Just able to tune in a bit ago. Loving the sounds.
	11:10am Marie de Queens: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:57 Hey Zinn, any of those times would work for me @). No pref.
	11:11am Juli: ↳ Trouble @11:02 Ill ask my folks they j toured Ireland w sum folk band there
	11:11am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Trouble @11:02 I can see why you wouldn't tour a prison, but brewery tours can be fun. A zillion years ago I hit a bunch in Belgium, including the Brewer's Guild building.
	11:12am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:57 Weekend early evening/post late linner (lunch/dinner) would be great!
	11:12am Trouble: @ threemoons: i am allergic to wheat so beer is not a friend
	11:13am Marie de Queens: I haven't been to Dublin in a long time. I'd love to go back soon (to the rest of Ireland also). Somewhat nearby is an amazing place called Glendalough, in the Wicklow Mountains. And there is a small valley there where there was an ancient monastery, and it has such an uncanny sacred feeling. I recommend a visit.
	11:14am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Bryant in TO @10:49 Yes! Know just what you mean! Need to read Debt also. Bullshit Jobs is another to recommend to people, especially those who work in offices. Brilliant. (Typing while slowing down from riding, under shady trees…)
	11:14am sydnius: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:11 I toured a prison to see where my great grandparents were housed (not really, they were from Galway, but couldabeen. It’s a dark tour.
	11:15am Marie de Queens: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:12 Yay to linner!
	11:15am sydnius: A pidgeon pooped on me in Dublin. Damn dirty birds.
	11:15am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Trouble @11:12 Oh noez, sorry!
	11:16am Thin Slice: ↳ Trouble @11:02 Chapters bookstore on Parnell St. is a large independent selling new & used. chaptersbookstore.com. My daughter goes to college in Dublin, and she and her friends go here for a lot of their textbooks.
	11:17am Ike: Some “wait… what?” JC news from the progressive Primary School blog: “With Steve Fulop leaving City Hall behind to run for governor, New Jersey’s second-largest city will be getting a new mayor in 2025. For…some reason, Hudson County’s political bosses, including powerful state Sen. Brian Stack, are interested in that new mayor being former Gov. Jim McGreevey… Maybe the thinking goes that the machine will need a well-known candidate to beat progressive, anti-machine councilman James Solomon, who is widely expected to run—but why McGreevey and not basically anyone else?”
	11:17am Marie de Queens: ↳ sydnius @11:15 I had what seemed like multiple pigeon droppings, a simulblast if you will, in Venice, right in front of a bunch of young teens, and they noticed. Boy did they notice.... @)
	11:17am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ sydnius @11:14 I had to do a bunch of prison tours and tours of administrative bodies as part of law school in the DC area. Went to a Club Fed in VA and it was...horrifying.
	11:17am sydnius: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:17 The locals thought it was hee-larious. I suppose it was.
	11:18am Marie de Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:55 Hey Handy, that prison sounds like a trip back in time. I hope you are on the mend...
	11:19am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:17 I live very close to a subway station and have to cross under the tracks to get to the Main Commercial Drag. I've made a fine art of checking where the droppings on the sidewalk start/stop so I know where NOT to stand while waiting for the light. Have seen tourists get crapped on with seeming abandon by the pigeons that live under the tracks.
	11:19am Lixiviated Life: ↳ Ike @11:17 Because Jersey City is not what it appears to be. It's what it always was.
	11:19am Marie de Queens: ↳ sydnius @11:17 Si! The universe always keeps me humble
	11:20am Passaic River Blues: The only shop I knew in Dublin closed many years ago. My Ma loved Charlie Byrne's in Galway Town, and she loved Eason's wherever they were. Eason's is sort of like an Irish B&N, not "independent" in any real sense, but Ma could load up on Irish novels on the cheap before the flight home. Kilmainham has a literary connection--it's where the British state executed the revolutionary teacher and poet, Padraic Pearse. I was always partial to James Connolly, but on our one big family trip Ma made sure we saw Pearse's home in Galway and the exact spot they murdered him in Dublin.
	11:21am Trouble: former gov mcgreevey is the largest loser that can be imagined in nj politics. and.... as you know those are large shoes to fill!
	11:21am Trouble: where did you hear that ike?? how very frightening...
	11:22am sydnius: ↳ Trouble @11:21 Mr. Bridgegate’s running! 🤣
	11:22am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Trouble @11:21 Even worse than Christie? I still get the occasional "Christie on the Beach" meme variation in my feed.
	11:22am Marie de Queens: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:19 I try to pay attention to that too. I wonder if anyone on social media has created a stream showing videos of that happening..
	11:22am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:22 Probably; I don't have the time to put one together myself but I should.
	11:23am Lixiviated Life: balloons floating in the big blue sky, just to see what way the wind is blowing.
	11:24am love2laf: Huzzah! Judging by the come-here-go-away mating dance of the phoebes, the nest is complete. Now it is the time to frolic, and then to lay eggs. Very exciting, and wonderful to see.
	11:25am sydnius: ↳ love2laf @11:24 I don’t mind watching the birds, except when the babies clearly can take care of themselves yet their parents have to chew for them first
	11:26am Juli: Applesauce for lunch I am such a picky eater:::: I also am so nice I feel bad for having sum strong opinions lol
	11:26am Marie de Queens: ↳ Passaic River Blues @11:20 Man, that's powerful. My dad (from Mayo) would speak of the Black and Tans sometimes
	11:26am sydnius: not projecting or anything
	11:26am Handy Haversack: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:18 Thanks, Marie!
	11:27am Lixiviated Life: ↳ Trouble @11:21 The biggest? 3 words: Bret Davis Schundler
	11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ Passaic River Blues @11:20 "My name is James Connolly I didn't come here to die!"
	11:30am Marie de Queens: Actually, one of the causes I would really like to get behind is prison reform and removing the barriers for ex-cons to get jobs. Anybody got any suggestions for organizations, etc.?
	11:30am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Trouble @10:57 Absolutely! Had to play a corporate gig in Boston and we were out up in a hotel that was a converted prison. Complete with a big wide open, high-storied lobby that was the area from which the prisoners were watched. So gross. And so typical of the kind of shot that smug bourgeois Neoliberal types think is cute. F these people.
	11:31am Marie de Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 Powerful words.
	11:32am Handy Haversack: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:31 www.musixmatch.com...
	11:32am Juli: Time to get into working. Always see work as play right?
	11:32am Juli: Moment by moment::::
	11:33am Passaic River Blues: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 Top Ten Moment: Dad's friend shouting "From the plough to the stars, motherf***er!" at Paddy Reilly's circa 1991.
	11:33am Marie de Queens: Hey Juli, nice to see you here. I was not surprised to learn that your parents were in a folk band @)
	11:33am love2laf: ↳ Juli @11:32 Just be being there is work. You're making sure he's safe, and his needs are met.
	11:33am Juli: Watching a doc about cakes in Versailles
	11:34am Ike: ↳ Trouble @11:21 newjerseyglobe.com... Via the final paragraph here: primaries.substack.com...
	11:34am Juli: ↳ love2laf @11:33 Thanks :}
	11:34am Handy Haversack: ↳ Passaic River Blues @11:33 FANTASTIC I think about 60 percent of the reason I came up to the NYC area for college was that Black 47 was the house band at Paddy Reilly's.
	11:35am Juli: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:33 My Dad is a folk guitarist My Mother is a crazy travel photographer::: They are alright yeah lol They toured W a famous Irish folk band in 2022
	11:35am Trouble: thanks @ ike
	11:35am Marie de Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:32 Thanks, Handy! I'll check that out later today (have a task I need to start for work now)
	11:36am miketp: in on June n meg.lovely.hello trouble n friends.
	11:36am Zinn The Mood: Have to report to Trouble listeners that, as I stand here next to the tree in front of Malcolm X’s last home on 97th st in E Elmhurst there is finally, (finally!), a street sign under the numbered one proclaiming “Malcolm X Place.” Took the city waaaaay too long to do so. The home itself still isn’t registered as an historic national landmark though.
	11:36am Marie de Queens: I'm loving this set, Trouble. June McDoom will be playing at Central Park this year! Maybe some of us could meet up there
	11:36am Juli: They were too strict growing up Only downfall of their own upbringings That's another story another day For a book Not FMU comments board :} Must go get to work! Thanks for chatting:::}}}
	11:37am Juli: My Dad is a poet::: Most definitely the reason I am a musician and writer :}}}
	11:37am love2laf: ↳ Juli @11:36 Thank you for chatting and the work you do. Looking after others is the most important and valuable work in the world.
	11:38am hoeg: first whisps of Mulatu Astatke sent me in a trance
	11:38am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	11:39am Marie de Queens: ↳ Juli @11:37 Neato
	11:39am steveo: .
	11:40am Passaic River Blues: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:34 I wasn't there so I cannot personally attest, but that was the report when they came back, Dad falling over laughing. We were as a family committed Chris Byrne stans (I LOVED that Seanchai record).
	11:41am Ike: Since I moved from NJ to NYC several years ago and have seen several progressives beat crappy machine incumbents here, I’ve wondered why NJ can’t get this movement going as well. NJ might be the worst Democratic state for progressive challengers. One huge problem in NJ: the ballots: www.insidernj.com...
	11:41am Juli: ↳ love2laf @11:37 Always down for a chat:} Bye all~
	11:42am Marie de Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:32 Love those lyrics.
	11:45am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:10 Hey Marie! Need your email (check yours, think I sent one to you). Thought of you when on the weekend while my son and I were riding to see an activist friend speak at the Woodside Street Fair, where incidentally comrade Ernie Brooks was also there, playing with Tape Hiss), but first came upon a festival at the Sunnyside Gardens community garden.
	11:46am Ike: Also, I was getting really heated up to tell all my NJ friends to primary out Menendez this month and then, duh, I realized that primary is NEXT year, not this year! You’ve got a full 12 months until you can vote for random Democratic mayor Joe Signorello for Senate (so far the only person brave enough to step up against the infamously vindictive Menendez, who is under investigation yet again).
	11:47am Trouble: progressive eleana little is running for hudson county executive june 6: vote column AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
	11:52am Zinn The Mood: Re: Dublin I was only able to do one thing there. Was out on a European tour (that began literally two or three days after 9/11) as a drum tech with an old friend’s band just after leaving my office job. When we got to Dublin I’m not ashamed to say, in fact there’s a bit of pride in it, there was only one thing on my mind given the short few hours there until showtimes. I took off on a wild goose chase, asking all and sundry, where Phillip Lynott’s grave was. Took two buses and after a lot of misdirection I finally came upon someone at the graveyard who knew the general proximity of where it was. I made it, but almost got kicked off the tour for the adventure of it.
	11:52am Marie de Queens: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:45 Hey Zinn, I'll check my email this afternoon. I know I sent you something through the FMU contact matrix (!). I'm sorry I missed that Woodside Street Fair, I didn't even know it was happening! Damm. What day was Tape Hiss playing?
	11:54am TDK60: Thanks, Trouble.
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble.
	11:55am Marie de Queens: I've never been to the Queens Night Market. I would like to go to that sometime. A possible meetup?
	11:56am still b/p: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:13 Stopped at -- and was fascinated by -- Glendalough ruins and gravestones in1968.
	11:56am Marie de Queens: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:57am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:52 Saturday. Same as the Sunnyside Garden thing. Just heard from Ernie that their next show is another street fair, in LIC, on the 18th I think.
	11:58am Mike W.: Pretty spectacular episode of the program today. As usual? Is that possible? (Je crois que oui.)
	11:58am Marie de Queens: ↳ still b/p @11:56 Yeah, it is truly amazing to me that a place could hold such an atmosphere. I bought a little book that they produce for it. It's not a logical kind of thing, the book's content.
	11:58am Zinn The Mood: Delightful show, Trouble - thanks!
	11:59am Ike: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:55 Sounds great! QNM is excellent.
	12:00pm egould: ↳ Song: "Did You Give The World Some Love Today Baby?" by ... It’s a nice sentiment; but start by learning to love yourself. Be the best ‘you’ possible.
	12:00pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you DJ Trouble!!!
	12:00pm still b/p: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:58 Be interesting to see it again today -- age 10 vs. age hooyah.
	12:00pm Steiner: Wonderful, thanks, Trouble!
	12:00pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Thanks so much for the amazing set! Clickystarred!
	12:00pm Chris Hiatt: Oh wow, that's the show! It really blew by. Thanks, Trouble!
	12:00pm McGroovey: I CAN'T HEAR MY RADIO BECAUSE THEY'RE MOWING THE LAWN OUTSIDE
	12:02pm Marie de Queens: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:57 Hey, the LIC street fair sounds fun...

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.

	9:34am Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Grief Fields" by "post moves & the sound memeory ... LOVE this!
	9:35am Zinn The Mood: Hey Trouble and comrades… Needed this Dinah Washington. Had the phone on WKCR this morning while riding with the kids to school and they were playing an amazing live album of hers. Must familiarize myself more. Morning with a string of small frustrations: discovered yet another water bottle was left at the school playground and is gone; the other one misplaced or lost a riding helmet, then my bike chain locked up and had to seek the help of a stranger, followed by just squeezing the coffee bag too hard and it exploding all over the floor. Really good thing to be doing the deep breathing exercises first thing in the morning again. Have done yoga and a cold shower. Got the requisite morning drinks, and now Trouble’s soothing sounds and you all. Grazie amici.
	9:35am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Mike W. @9:28 Very nice. Enjoy your new place in the sun.
	9:35am Trouble: nope,@ sydnius not new, kerchief covered kitty has been up for ages
	9:36am sydnius: ↳ Trouble @9:35 yeah I figured it was just “new to my eyes”. 😸
	9:36am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning Trouble.
	9:38am love2laf: ↳ Mike W. @9:28 Congrats, hope all is going well with the move, it is a happy time, but can be stressful too. Trouble's music will so help with that.
	9:38am sydnius: An IKEA nearby is a new homeowner’s friend.
	9:39am Mike W.: Thanks y’all! Honestly I have never known such a feeling before and, further to that, did not expect to be a homeowner, ever. Life comes at you, or to you, sometimes fast, other times just unexpectedly.
	9:39am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:35 Good morning, Zinn. Those little things and bigger ones by degree can add up to annoyance. I just got back from a walk to the park. I saw someone had stolen the tires off a car. Somewhat big annoyance for that car owner. Luckily Out there I wore a mask, avoiding the smoke from the Nova Scotia fire, that's drifted to NYC.
	9:39am sydnius: ↳ Mike W. @9:39 You know where the water and electric shutoffs are?
	9:40am Fred and Alan: ↳ love2laf @9:28 Thanks love2laf hows everything Fred and Alan LOVE YOU
	9:41am love2laf: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:35 Your string of small frustrations so resonates. It is good that you are finding ways to cope and move through the day. Gives hope to read.
	9:42am sydnius: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:35 I am having a similarly disastrous morning. I’ll spare deets.
	9:42am TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @9:39 "Luckily" I wore my mask. I have "luck" some days.
	9:42am Mike W.: and the IKEA is just up Route 1 about 15 mins away…and it’s sunny…and me and Dog are essentially squatting in an unfurnished bungalow for two months. Wild mellow life. Three dog beds, 14 dog toys scattered about, and one hard wooden chair for human. Kinda perfect.
	9:43am Juli: City life so rough I'm going small wooded town
	9:43am Fred and Alan: ↳ sydnius @9:42 you can tell us we share all our problems with all you great people on here
	9:43am Listener Bryan (the Professor): Love this Brian Harnetty record so much.
	9:43am Listener Bryan (the Professor): (gm Trouble and crew)
	9:44am sydnius: ↳ Fred and Alan @9:43 hehe I keep my laundry in—house 😎
	9:44am Robm: Good morning trouble and fellow troublemakers @Zinn we all have those days, just breath and listen to nice calming music
	9:44am love2laf: ↳ Fred and Alan @9:40 Better than yesterday. My sleep was troubled with nightmares from the 1 inch hornet fiasco yesterday, but dreams are ways of unpacking your day in your brain, so tonight should be better. Love to you both, and may your day be filled with customers who have good manners.
	9:46am Mike W.: Sydnius I have no clue where any of that stuff is! Today is an off-work day so after decades in a cramped East Village apt, I begin to learn how a house works today. (The prev owners left a stack of info, they did right by us and vice ver$a.)
	9:46am Chris Hiatt: Loving this opening set! It's like hanging out in a zen garden.
	9:46am Edgar from Maine: ↳ Juli @9:43 The grass is always greener. We moved back to the city from the country. I love nature but she is hard bargainer when it comes to living in her bosom.
	9:46am love2laf: ↳ Robm @9:44 Good morning to you, and hope you're not experiencing one of those days. You're right, the music really soothes and uplifts on the modern world.
	9:46am Robm: ↳ love2laf @9:44 L2L hope your having a better day and no more nightmares
	9:47am Fred and Alan: ↳ sydnius @9:44 OK But you know Fred and Alan opened up about our daily stories to all
	9:47am sydnius: ↳ Fred and Alan @9:47 Thanks, some problems I may share, these are private
	9:48am Fred and Alan: Ok sorry we want everything to be great for you
	9:48am love2laf: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:46 Oh hello fellow country-is-not-blissful companion. The list of things I miss grows exponentially every day. Where I live is beautiful, but it is so very challenging.
	9:49am Robm: ↳ love2laf @9:46 If i have a day where i have problems with people will put earphones on go outside and listen to WFMU and lurk on the accu
	9:51am Edgar from Maine: ↳ love2laf @9:48 I learned and mastered: 1. Cutting trees down is easy; cutting them UP is hard. 2. Poison ivy and bug bites must never bother you. 3. Raccoons think that your house is an obstacle easily navigated when they smell cat food. Etc. I miss the hell out of it but now I only spend an hour a week gardening.
	9:51am Robm: ↳ sydnius @9:47 If you feel comfortable talking about your problems on here with no judgement go for it
	9:52am Zinn The Mood: Trouble’s set sure is helping! Sometimes I wonder how I appear to others, because my release is often to unload a torrent of curses. My partner thinks it’s crazy. But goddamn it - it helps somehow! Heh… As the ground coffee was exploding I’d been thinking of, and just recounted to her, another incident of enraging price-gouging at the local grocery stores. And this, just after she tells me last night that the grocer by the subway we patronize yet again overcharged for fruit. That’s a third time in about 10 days! Folks, even if you’re conditioned to just automatically give your card at the checkout, ya gotta check the receipt!
	9:53am love2laf: ↳ Robm @9:49 Smart, very smart. Part of why when internet & laptop & streaming issues can make a tough day even tougher.
	9:55am Trouble: i am just finishing up a gorgeous book by Maggie O'Farrell: the vanishing act of esme lennox. Have been reading lots of irish writers lately. Additional Irish suggestions from colm toibin when i saw him at little city books recently: Colin Barrett, Luke Cassidy, Naoise Dolan, Rob Doyle, Nicole Flattery, Mike McCormack, Eimear McBride, Lisa McInerney, and Belinda McKeon.
	9:56am love2laf: ↳ Edgar from Maine @9:51 Interesting take, and it's not just racoons. Red squirrels will happily gnaw their way through a screen window for cheese bread. Adding to your list. 4 electricity is not a guarantee for any length of time, be sure to have an outhouse. 5. No one and nothing can be delivered to your home, and many things will not be deliverable to your PO Box. 6. No matter how carefully you stack your woodpile, it will fall down.
	9:56am Handy Haversack: Trouble, check out Patrick O'Keefe and John McGahern also.
	9:57am Robm: ↳ love2laf @9:53 Oh yeah that part bites when your wifi is wonky and you have to reset it fun times
	9:57am Malcolm: I've heard good things about John mcgahern
	9:57am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:52 Zinn, the bigger agri-food corporations upped prices so the retail food stores will too. I complain politely with the checkout cashiers. I usually say, "Hey food prices are up, but not my wages! Hee." The cashiers often smilingly agree, if the manager's not around. With street fruit vendors; if they charge too much for bananas, I walk away.
	9:58am Mike W.: Fantastic Irish nomenclaturae there
	10:00am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "as it is" by "liz durette" This is some yummy stuff and VERY MODERN!
	10:00am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all! Shaking off the cobwebs...
	10:00am Thin Slice: ↳ Trouble @9:55 I read two books by Sebastian Barry in May. Both very different from one another, but I liked both of them, and plan to read more of him.
	10:02am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @9:39 Hey TDK. That’s funny, though not really. Another dad at the school playground recently told me, in a discussion of why we continue to live in the city with kids (the incredible cultural diversity of the people in Queens came up big), that he recently came out to the street to find his car up on two milk crates and also missing two wheels. Made him for the first time give up owning a car. Just finished Ada Calhoun’s “St Mark’s Is Dead” book. Your comment brought back images of the Tompkins Sq Pk showdowns and other scenes of urban struggle of which are part of life here. Think you’d like it.
	10:02am Juli: I need a writer who writes w very frilly language
	10:03am Juli: I have ADHD :{ I usually read non fiction or like Tom Robbins or the classics
	10:03am Edgar from Maine: ↳ love2laf @9:56 Haha! 100% nailed it. All of those things. And you have to be a plumber, electrician, carpenter and landscaper because good luck getting any of em to show up.
	10:04am Robm: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:00 Hey threemoons
	10:04am tranewreck: @trouble….Kevin Barry (City of Bohane) is also worth a look
	10:05am Robm: Hi Juli
	10:05am Edgar from Maine: But being face to face with nature like that was a life shakingly positive experience. Humbling, centering, and very helpful in figuring out my own human-ness.
	10:06am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Just ordered St. Marks is Dead. I LOVE WFMU because not a day goes by where I don't discover a new band or find a new book to read...love this community.
	10:06am Juli: ↳ Robm @10:05 :::}
	10:08am love2laf: ↳ Edgar from Maine @10:03 You have no idea how seen I'm feeling right now. Washing machine broke in the middle of winter, road is finally doable for delivery and waiting. Hot water heater blew up, in winter, paid the big bucks for those who do the country thing. And so much more. And yes, it's very humanising. I'm loving watching a pair of phoebes nesting in my woodshed, in my neck of the blackflies & mosquito filled yard. Watching the wildlife is such a blessing.
	10:08am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Mike W. @9:46 Wow, congratulations! Really nice to hear when things work out, re: previous owners doing the right thing. Intense and exciting. Best of luck!
	10:09am Robm: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:06 So cool, i have found ever since i gave up on commercial music radio and it’s SSDD crap between this station and a couple of others my musical journey has gotten better
	10:09am Zipperhead7: Good morning Troubled modernists!
	10:10am Matt Alston: Great to hear the new Liz Durette. My old friend the late Vic Chestnut’s’ niece.
	10:11am Juli: Oh Made Up Dramas:::::}
	10:13am Juli: This Home Renovation Show is MIND BLOWINGLY pretty:::: I luv redoing homes I luv new spaces It moves energy around. Changes things
	10:17am Zinn The Mood: Beautiful mention of Gwendolyn, and her wonderful work. Two nights ago spent a lovely evening at the Louis Armstrong Museum, attending a showing of the film “Louis Armstrong’s Black and Blues,” in the backyard of his former home and current museum: youtu.be... Definitely recommended. Feels to me that your show, possibly more than any other on the station, is a place where there’d be a greater proportion of folks who revere N’awlins. But having said that, it occurs to me that it would probably be true station-wide. Gem of a city; so unlike the rest of this hellhole country.
	10:17am morphe': Trouble - heard ya say yer heading to Ireland. i'm there/here until 9 July and back again Aug 1st .... near Dingle, Kerry .. I'l send an email and make lunch/dinner if ya come this way ... there is another local listener [Nial] who would most lokely do something hospitable in my absence... I'll check with him before booking him for anything .... must go for now .. thanks for spinning...
	10:18am tim from washington: Hello trouble and everyone!
	10:23am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Robm @10:09 Totally. The only "commercial" radio that I indulge in is good old 1010 WINS -- local and world news on loop along with traffic even though I don't have a car -- "you give us 22 minutes, we'll give you the world." I can hear the jingle in my head. Growing up, whenever we drove ANYWHERE in the 5 boros or Long Island, Mom had that on the car radio for the traffic updates as this was before cell phones, GPS, etc -- I still remember the reports from the WINS "Jam Cam" -- realtime traffic reporting. Also the old ancient jingle from Rheingold Beer ... valleyvillage.home.blog...
	10:25am Lixiviated Life: Missed my train. Headed to MET to see Cypresses Now I have no excuse but to do my chores.
	10:25am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: love this rome song. heard it blasting at Brussels pride fest.
	10:26am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: a song about italy in french lol
	10:29am Juli: My 84 year old client is teaching my all this detailed math about the stock market don't understand a word really understood a video we watched about it but its all jargon He thinks Ill be financially independent from it once I learn it well
	10:29am sydnius: ↳ morphe' @10:17 You two will have a great time there meeting up or not– ’tis a magical place 🇮🇪
	10:30am Handy Haversack: ↳ sydnius @10:29 There's a great bookstore in Galway City if you make it there, Trouble.
	10:30am Mike W.: oooh, those swelling strings
	10:32am Juli: This is a beautiful song. As usual Trouble
	10:33am sydnius: ↳ Juli @10:29 The crypto is so real… until it isn’t 💸
	10:33am Chris Hiatt: Reading and working through The Artist's Way currently. Tried it once before a LONG time ago, but more serious about it this go around. Trying to free up that flow. This is the latest nonfiction selection, I always alternate fiction and non.
	10:34am still b/p: Thing about radio -- yer old-school, terrestrial broadcast legacy radio -- they STILL do things like Secret Sound Contest, more than half a century after I first heard 'em do it, along with "cash/jackpot calls," etc. Does that malarkey persist because it actually generates or holds more listeners, better ratings? Beautiful music for late breakfast, Trouble.
	10:35am Zinn The Mood: ↳ love2laf @10:08 Your interesting conversation with @Edgar made me think of this Werner Herzog film: youtu.be... Talk about remote living!
	10:36am Handy Haversack: Has anyone read this yet? shop.wordbookstores.com... Might be grabbing in my next bookstore run.
	10:36am love2laf: ↳ still b/p @10:34 I think it is mostly about advertising dollars. Many people in cars have no option but the local radio stations, and that's how the local advertising dollars get spent.
	10:36am Juli: ↳ sydnius @10:33 He compiled his life work of studying stocks into pages for me I have to learn it lol
	10:40am love2laf: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:35 If you were to arrive here in winter, you may easily think that's exactly where you are. I'm sure an expert would know by the tree variety that they were Algonquin Park adjacent, but the setting is remarkably similar.
	10:40am Cooh John: Hello Trouble and troublations. Poked my head in and found talk about Ireland and Herzog. My kind of people. See you also, Handy. Say hi to K8 and the critters.
	10:41am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:36 Handy, no. I just read a review of another David Graeber book on pirates in Madagascar who had an egalitarian society. Too bad Graeber died too young.
	10:41am Handy Haversack: ↳ Cooh John @10:40 Hey, Cooh John. Will do. Heading back to Union Pool tonight. I think McGroovey will be there again.
	10:41am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:36 That looks pretty interesting, Handy. I'll look for that at the local library.
	10:43am love2laf: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:41 You must be feeling better today then, fantastic news that you're up to going out tonight. Hope K8 stays well, always a challenge when one is sick, both usually end up sick.
	10:44am Ryan Sterlingvirtue: sugar hiccups
	10:44am Cooh John: I will be there in spirit, HH.
	10:44am Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @10:43 If I can keep my feet underneath me, we should be in good shape. Much better than the other day, thanks, love2laf. We're seeing Bug Club tonight and then Sisters of Mercy tomorrow, so I need to get myself steeled and ready.
	10:44am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:41 I wish I could go out on a school night and still be useful the next day. I took last Friday off, spent the day in the City, and slept the rest of the long weekend.
	10:44am Mike W.: aaaahhh Cocteaus❗️ now it’s a perfect morning
	10:45am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:36 I have not, but def looks interesting. There is a new bookstore opening in my 'hood! When does that ever happen? Lofty Pigeon Books, we're all excited over here.
	10:46am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Speaking of books RE egalitarian systems and pirates - www.thriftbooks.com...
	10:46am Thin Slice: A nonfiction book about Ireland that I can recommend is We Don't Know Ourselves by Fintan O'Toole. The author uses his life, starting with his childhood in a Dublin suburb in the 1950s, and the events he has seen over the last 60 years, to give a cultural and political history of the country. It's best read when not traveling, though. It's very heavy. :-)
	10:47am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Chris Hiatt @10:45 New bookstores are always cool!
	10:47am tim from washington: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:44 Handy Haversack - Party Animal Party Machine! Way to go on catching back to back shows.
	10:48am sydnius: ↳ Thin Slice @10:46 put in a hold at the Library, thx for suggestion!
	10:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Also, go read this -- just finished this -- amazing semi-autobiographical work by Blixa Bargeld. Read it in English, may get a copy in German to work those neurons and keep my German fresh. www.contramundumpress.com...
	10:49am Bryant in TO: ↳ TDK60 @10:41 That sounds fascinating. I read Graeber's "Debt" and it changed my view of the world even if I can't quite articulate how. Speaking of, "Bullshit Jobs" articulated so many things that I just feel in my bones. God, yeah it hurts that we lost him so soon.
	10:50am Thin Slice: ↳ sydnius @10:48 You're welcome!
	10:51am Lixiviated Life: hello? No sound from the web stream. Am I gonna have to tune in to QXR? This is not my day.
	10:51am love2laf: In a former life, I co-owned 2 used bookstores, and read at least a book a day. It is good to be reminded of such things. Be kind to your local bookstores, it can be so challenging to keep it afloat.
	10:52am love2laf: ↳ Lixiviated Life @10:51 On the aac stream, and all is good here, and I am the person who likely has the worst internet on the accu.
	10:52am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Lixiviated Life @10:51 Try refreshing, had a brief outage but a refresh fixed.
	10:53am Juli: ↳ love2laf @10:51 Supporting local means everything to me Esp books I collect them
	10:53am Lixiviated Life: I'll give it a go
	10:53am Trouble: any suggestions for great bookstores in dublin?
	10:54am tim from washington: I'm currently reading 2 books. One is Hit Girls : Women of Punk In The USA, 1975 - 1983. I covers so many bands! Only about half of them I've heard of. I wish each bands story could have been fleshed out but it's still a good resource. The other book I'm reading/looking at is Andres Serranos 'Uncensored Photographs'. I picked it up because while I was looking through it at the library I realized that I found most of his themes to be sophmoric rather than challenging. I decided to still get the book and read the essays to better understand his work.
	10:54am Lixiviated Life: ACC works
	10:55am Handy Haversack: ↳ Trouble @10:53 We weren't there long enough to go book hunting, but I do really recommend going to Kilmainham Gaol. You have to book in advance if you want a tour, though you can see the museum exhibits without one. Really powerful. A brutal place.
	10:56am tim from washington: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:48 That looks really cool, Threemoons! I had no idea Blixa Bargeld had a book. I'm definitely going to seek it out.
	10:57am sydnius: ↳ Lixiviated Life @10:54 ACC is the best anyway, lots of little improvements make the cymbal shimmer better for sure
	10:57am love2laf: ↳ Juli @10:53 Your bookstores are grateful for that. I'm glad my businesses shuttered before Amazon became an even bigger juggernaut than it was back then.
	10:57am Trouble: sorry i will not tour a brewery or a prison.
	10:57am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @10:41 Weird about Graeber. Like all the greats he’s always very much alive with us in his amazingly connective writing. But at the same time there’s a lament that we won’t be getting more from this uniquely gifted and compassionate anarchist. And now there’s this pirate book! Makes me joyful. Intend to get to that over the summer… Have been on a mission to get friends to read The Dawn of Everything. Have just succeeded with my oldest friend in the world. I’m off on bicycle to the Langston Hughes library before having to pick up the kids. If anyone else is interested in the anti-capitalist TroubleMakers meetup, send me an email (question: are most folks partial to an afternoon or early eve weekend gathering, or an evening during the week?
	10:58am Juli: ↳ love2laf @10:57 Used books are the way::::
	10:58am sydnius: ↳ Trouble @10:57 The view from up there is the best in all of Dublin!
	10:58am Juli: I also love getting out of the house to shop.
	11:00am sydnius: (The free whisky tasting at Jameson’s is nice too)
	11:00am Thin Slice: ↳ Trouble @10:53 It's no longer an independent store, but Hodges Figgis on Dawson St by the Trinity campus has been in Dublin for a couple of centuries. It gets a mention in Ulysses. It's now a Waterstone's in disguise.
	11:02am Trouble: looking for an independent book store rec and also used bookstores in dublin
	11:02am Ike: Greetings!
	11:08am Marie de Queens: Hello Trouble and Troublers (? @)). Just able to tune in a bit ago. Loving the sounds.
	11:10am Marie de Queens: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:57 Hey Zinn, any of those times would work for me @). No pref.
	11:11am Juli: ↳ Trouble @11:02 Ill ask my folks they j toured Ireland w sum folk band there
	11:11am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Trouble @11:02 I can see why you wouldn't tour a prison, but brewery tours can be fun. A zillion years ago I hit a bunch in Belgium, including the Brewer's Guild building.
	11:12am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:57 Weekend early evening/post late linner (lunch/dinner) would be great!
	11:12am Trouble: @ threemoons: i am allergic to wheat so beer is not a friend
	11:13am Marie de Queens: I haven't been to Dublin in a long time. I'd love to go back soon (to the rest of Ireland also). Somewhat nearby is an amazing place called Glendalough, in the Wicklow Mountains. And there is a small valley there where there was an ancient monastery, and it has such an uncanny sacred feeling. I recommend a visit.
	11:14am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Bryant in TO @10:49 Yes! Know just what you mean! Need to read Debt also. Bullshit Jobs is another to recommend to people, especially those who work in offices. Brilliant. (Typing while slowing down from riding, under shady trees…)
	11:14am sydnius: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:11 I toured a prison to see where my great grandparents were housed (not really, they were from Galway, but couldabeen. It’s a dark tour.
	11:15am Marie de Queens: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:12 Yay to linner!
	11:15am sydnius: A pidgeon pooped on me in Dublin. Damn dirty birds.
	11:15am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Trouble @11:12 Oh noez, sorry!
	11:16am Thin Slice: ↳ Trouble @11:02 Chapters bookstore on Parnell St. is a large independent selling new & used. chaptersbookstore.com. My daughter goes to college in Dublin, and she and her friends go here for a lot of their textbooks.
	11:17am Ike: Some “wait… what?” JC news from the progressive Primary School blog: “With Steve Fulop leaving City Hall behind to run for governor, New Jersey’s second-largest city will be getting a new mayor in 2025. For…some reason, Hudson County’s political bosses, including powerful state Sen. Brian Stack, are interested in that new mayor being former Gov. Jim McGreevey… Maybe the thinking goes that the machine will need a well-known candidate to beat progressive, anti-machine councilman James Solomon, who is widely expected to run—but why McGreevey and not basically anyone else?”
	11:17am Marie de Queens: ↳ sydnius @11:15 I had what seemed like multiple pigeon droppings, a simulblast if you will, in Venice, right in front of a bunch of young teens, and they noticed. Boy did they notice.... @)
	11:17am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ sydnius @11:14 I had to do a bunch of prison tours and tours of administrative bodies as part of law school in the DC area. Went to a Club Fed in VA and it was...horrifying.
	11:17am sydnius: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:17 The locals thought it was hee-larious. I suppose it was.
	11:18am Marie de Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:55 Hey Handy, that prison sounds like a trip back in time. I hope you are on the mend...
	11:19am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:17 I live very close to a subway station and have to cross under the tracks to get to the Main Commercial Drag. I've made a fine art of checking where the droppings on the sidewalk start/stop so I know where NOT to stand while waiting for the light. Have seen tourists get crapped on with seeming abandon by the pigeons that live under the tracks.
	11:19am Lixiviated Life: ↳ Ike @11:17 Because Jersey City is not what it appears to be. It's what it always was.
	11:19am Marie de Queens: ↳ sydnius @11:17 Si! The universe always keeps me humble
	11:20am Passaic River Blues: The only shop I knew in Dublin closed many years ago. My Ma loved Charlie Byrne's in Galway Town, and she loved Eason's wherever they were. Eason's is sort of like an Irish B&N, not "independent" in any real sense, but Ma could load up on Irish novels on the cheap before the flight home. Kilmainham has a literary connection--it's where the British state executed the revolutionary teacher and poet, Padraic Pearse. I was always partial to James Connolly, but on our one big family trip Ma made sure we saw Pearse's home in Galway and the exact spot they murdered him in Dublin.
	11:21am Trouble: former gov mcgreevey is the largest loser that can be imagined in nj politics. and.... as you know those are large shoes to fill!
	11:21am Trouble: where did you hear that ike?? how very frightening...
	11:22am sydnius: ↳ Trouble @11:21 Mr. Bridgegate’s running! 🤣
	11:22am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Trouble @11:21 Even worse than Christie? I still get the occasional "Christie on the Beach" meme variation in my feed.
	11:22am Marie de Queens: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:19 I try to pay attention to that too. I wonder if anyone on social media has created a stream showing videos of that happening..
	11:22am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:22 Probably; I don't have the time to put one together myself but I should.
	11:23am Lixiviated Life: balloons floating in the big blue sky, just to see what way the wind is blowing.
	11:24am love2laf: Huzzah! Judging by the come-here-go-away mating dance of the phoebes, the nest is complete. Now it is the time to frolic, and then to lay eggs. Very exciting, and wonderful to see.
	11:25am sydnius: ↳ love2laf @11:24 I don’t mind watching the birds, except when the babies clearly can take care of themselves yet their parents have to chew for them first
	11:26am Juli: Applesauce for lunch I am such a picky eater:::: I also am so nice I feel bad for having sum strong opinions lol
	11:26am Marie de Queens: ↳ Passaic River Blues @11:20 Man, that's powerful. My dad (from Mayo) would speak of the Black and Tans sometimes
	11:26am sydnius: not projecting or anything
	11:26am Handy Haversack: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:18 Thanks, Marie!
	11:27am Lixiviated Life: ↳ Trouble @11:21 The biggest? 3 words: Bret Davis Schundler
	11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ Passaic River Blues @11:20 "My name is James Connolly I didn't come here to die!"
	11:30am Marie de Queens: Actually, one of the causes I would really like to get behind is prison reform and removing the barriers for ex-cons to get jobs. Anybody got any suggestions for organizations, etc.?
	11:30am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Trouble @10:57 Absolutely! Had to play a corporate gig in Boston and we were out up in a hotel that was a converted prison. Complete with a big wide open, high-storied lobby that was the area from which the prisoners were watched. So gross.

	11:34am Handy Haversack: ↳ Passaic River Blues @11:33 FANTASTIC I think about 60 percent of the reason I came up to the NYC area for college was that Black 47 was the house band at Paddy Reilly's.

	11:36am Zinn The Mood: Have to report to Trouble listeners that, as I stand here next to the tree in front of Malcolm X’s last home on 97th st in E Elmhurst there is finally, (finally!), a street sign under the numbered one proclaiming “Malcolm X Place.” Took the city waaaaay too long to do so. The home itself still isn’t registered as an historic national landmark though.
	11:36am Marie de Queens: I'm loving this set, Trouble. June McDoom will be playing at Central Park this year! Maybe some of us could meet up there

	11:40am Passaic River Blues: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:34 I wasn't there so I cannot personally attest, but that was the report when they came back, Dad falling over laughing. We were as a family committed Chris Byrne stans (I LOVED that Seanchai record).
	11:41am Ike: Since I moved from NJ to NYC several years ago and have seen several progressives beat crappy machine incumbents here, I’ve wondered why NJ can’t get this movement going as well. NJ might be the worst Democratic state for progressive challengers. One huge problem in NJ: the ballots: www.insidernj.com...
	11:41am Juli: ↳ love2laf @11:37 Always down for a chat:} Bye all~
	11:42am Marie de Queens: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:32 Love those lyrics.
	11:45am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:10 Hey Marie! Need your email (check yours, think I sent one to you). Thought of you when on the weekend while my son and I were riding to see an activist friend speak at the Woodside Street Fair, where incidentally comrade Ernie Brooks was also there, playing with Tape Hiss), but first came upon a festival at the Sunnyside Gardens community garden.
	11:46am Ike: Also, I was getting really heated up to tell all my NJ friends to primary out Menendez this month and then, duh, I realized that primary is NEXT year, not this year! You’ve got a full 12 months until you can vote for random Democratic mayor Joe Signorello for Senate (so far the only person brave enough to step up against the infamously vindictive Menendez, who is under investigation yet again).
	11:47am Trouble: progressive eleana little is running for hudson county executive june 6: vote column AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
	11:52am Zinn The Mood: Re: Dublin I was only able to do one thing there. Was out on a European tour (that began literally two or three days after 9/11) as a drum tech with an old friend’s band just after leaving my office job. When we got to Dublin I’m not ashamed to say, in fact there’s a bit of pride in it, there was only one thing on my mind given the short few hours there until showtimes. I took off on a wild goose chase, asking all and sundry, where Phillip Lynott’s grave was. Took two buses and after a lot of misdirection I finally came upon someone at the graveyard who knew the general proximity of where it was. I made it, but almost got kicked off the tour for the adventure of it.
	11:52am Marie de Queens: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:45 Hey Zinn, I'll check my email this afternoon. I know I sent you something through the FMU contact matrix (!). I'm sorry I missed that Woodside Street Fair, I didn't even know it was happening! Damm. What day was Tape Hiss playing?
	11:54am TDK60: Thanks, Trouble.
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble.
	11:55am Marie de Queens: I've never been to the Queens Night Market. I would like to go to that sometime. A possible meetup?
	11:56am still b/p: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:13 Stopped at -- and was fascinated by -- Glendalough ruins and gravestones in1968.
	11:56am Marie de Queens: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:57am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:52 Saturday. Same as the Sunnyside Garden thing. Just heard from Ernie that their next show is another street fair, in LIC, on the 18th I think.
	11:58am Mike W.: Pretty spectacular episode of the program today. As usual? Is that possible? (Je crois que oui.)
	11:58am Marie de Queens: ↳ still b/p @11:56 Yeah, it is truly amazing to me that a place could hold such an atmosphere. I bought a little book that they produce for it. It's not a logical kind of thing, the book's content.
	11:58am Zinn The Mood: Delightful show, Trouble - thanks!
	11:59am Ike: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:55 Sounds great! QNM is excellent.
	12:00pm egould: ↳ Song: "Did You Give The World Some Love Today Baby?" by ... It’s a nice sentiment; but start by learning to love yourself. Be the best ‘you’ possible.
