	10:13am Ben in Newark: ↳ fm Mike @9:58 My wife and I used to live with the singer, Dan Klein (he was one of my wife's best friends).

He very sadly died of ALS a few years back, we visit him at Green-Wood Cemetery each year on his birthday.

	10:43am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "fairy" by "soft violet" Liking this a lot!
	10:44am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜 @10:37 we can maybe make it less hellish.... at least we can try
	10:44am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: This is exactly the vibe I need to ease back into work with...
	10:44am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:44 Yup. We need to connect, and to keep creating. And finding a way to laugh. Fascists hate art, and being laughed at.
	10:45am Webhamster Henry: This set is tickling all the 80s-90s oscillators.
	10:46am Priscilla: Recommending One Hundred Years of Solitude on Netflix - the costumes, cinematography & acting all so great!

	11:02am Anon Freq: Very nice set.
	11:02am Lucky: Great show!
	11:02am listener james from westwood: ↳ Song: "within" by "tears run rings" Digging this track; new artist to me! Which is FMU in a nutshell.
	11:06am unpopularfred: the Bach Collegium Japan under Masaaki Suzuiki has made many first rate Bach recordings
	11:06am listener james from westwood: I tuned into KCR just in time for a playing of Switched-On Bach, including a narrated bit by Wendy herself about her process in putting the Moog through its Baroque paces.
	11:09am mndave: 2025 plan: continue therapy. Not being hard on myself. 2 months so far and wow has it paid off, but I got lucky that the therapist was a perfect match.
	11:10am The Oscar: My wife is an avid quilter-- I looked up Zak Foster and confirmed she is already following him :)
	11:11am arthur_k.hunt: Self-binding signatures together is a great activity to make notebooks for yourself or for friends
	11:11am Mike W.: Learn how to train your dog, force- and fear-free. A genuine pathway to transcendence.
	11:11am Sarah Squire: Great shout out. Love Zak and The Nook! I'm making a rope rug but could be a basket. It's a great/easy intro into the textile works. The Nook has great tutorials that are very accessible.
	11:13am Vivian: I agree with Trouble. Learn something, create and read. I'm continuing to throw pottery, wood carve and stain glass. On my list - learn how to make pasta at home and get back in sewing. And try my hand at candles - we go through so many here.
	11:14am Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: I need to decrappify my space which is my biggest project this year, but I also really want to pick up my sashiko/boro/visible mending again this year. Cooking was always part of my process so I feel blessed that I have that one down pat.
	11:15am Trouble: thanks for that nook suggestion @ sarah. And yes read!!! merci @ vivian. I suggest starting the year off with anne enright. i just finished the wren, the wren and it was fabulous.
	11:17am Mattynotimes: Loving the show trouble! I agree! No resolutions! Only revelations!
	11:18am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): i think my only new years resolution is to make homemade pierogi for my polish grandmother and homemade ravioli for my italian grandmother
	11:18am Savage in Brooklyn: This song sounds great, too! Singer's voice reminds me of Death Vessel, who I was fortunate to tour with a few times during his Sub Pop days.
	11:19am Vivian: @ Trouble - I was telling someone recently about the Irish fiction I read in 2024. Might have to continue that thread this year with The Wren, The Wren. Thanks for the suggestion!
	11:20am Vivian: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @11:18 excellent Bixa!
	11:20am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ Vivian @11:20 i'm a goofy chef so it should be a fun one to figure out
	11:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @11:18 someone revealed to me that italian cooking is popular in poland for once having an italian queen...so if you get your dishes mixed up , no one will be worse for it....btw my polish mother made a mean red sauce.....
	11:22am rx "rexy" scabin: I will learn to play the alto saxophone.
	11:22am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:21 love this!! you got that sauce recipe?
	11:22am Trouble: I like that @ mattynotimes! I am going to add No resolutions, only revolutions!
	11:23am Trouble: @ vivian, I would love to know about the irish fiction you are reading. I am on an irish fiction bender lately, also.
	11:24am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Song: "hur" by "dariush dolat-shahi" I have this record, it's in the "Unclassifiable" section of my collection
	11:24am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @11:22 it's in her head and memory not too good these days
	11:25am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:24 right....this is a far out track...
	11:26am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:24 (right next to "Mexico Magico Cosmico" by Luis Perez)
	11:28am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:24 worth a shot! hope she's doing well <3
	11:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:26 even calling it "experimental" doesn't quite fit it completely
	11:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @11:28 thank you...
	11:31am Charles in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:28 It's one of those LPs I bought based solely on the cover, knowing nothing about it (and didnt' regret it!)
	11:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:31 that's an excellent kind of blind date....
	11:32am Vivian: @ Trouble, I finished the Alternatives by Caolinn (sp?) Hughes in September. There was another title, suggested here on the messageboards - I can't recall the title. The main character worked in a bookstore, learned the slang word craic. Just tried to log into my library record however, it's experiencing an outage.
	11:33am jakee.jc: Talk about it Trouble!
	11:35am Noir Lover: Only recently the FTC chair Lina Khan has tried to roll back corporate consolidation.
	11:36am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Vivian @11:32 Here's a spreadsheet of books mentioned on this show (going back to plague times), anyone can add to this list, although I don't know if anyone has lately. It's linked on my profile page docs.google.com...
	11:39am newton: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:36 Milkman. Trouble mentioned she was reading it a few months ago. I bought it online, the last copy, and it was destroyed in shipping never came
	11:39am PKNY: ↳ Song: "darling come back home" by "eddie kendricks" I have this Eddie Kendricks record, but I have no recollection of this track. Love the steel drums on this!
	11:40am Trouble: @ vivian: i loved the alternatives. Was the other book the rachel incident?
	11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ newton @11:39 Chancellor Musk will fix that by mandating Cybertrucks as the new postal delivery vehicles. What could possibly go wring?
	11:40am Charles in Chicago: ↳ Vivian @11:32 Was the book "Beautiful World, Where Are You?" by Sally Rooney? (I have not read it, just a guess based on Internet search)
	11:41am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:36 was married to a brit and was visiting london a lot and became fascinated by the hawksmoor chusches, esp spitalfields ...was going to read ackroyd's book....maybe when i finally get glasses

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from January 2, 2025

View Trouble's profile

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

	11:18am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): i think my only new years resolution is to make homemade pierogi for my polish grandmother and homemade ravioli for my italian grandmother
	11:18am Savage in Brooklyn: This song sounds great, too! Singer's voice reminds me of Death Vessel, who I was fortunate to tour with a few times during his Sub Pop days.
	11:19am Vivian: @ Trouble - I was telling someone recently about the Irish fiction I read in 2024. Might have to continue that thread this year with The Wren, The Wren. Thanks for the suggestion!

	11:28am bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢): ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:24 worth a shot! hope she's doing well <3
	11:28am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Charles in Chicago @11:26 even calling it "experimental" doesn't quite fit it completely
	11:29am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ bixa (𝘣𝘦𝘦-𝘩𝘢) @11:28 thank you...
	11:31am Charles in Chicago: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:28 It's one of those LPs I bought based solely on the cover, knowing nothing about it (and didnt' regret it!)

	11:40am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ newton @11:39 Chancellor Musk will fix that by mandating Cybertrucks as the new postal delivery vehicles. What could possibly go wring?
