This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from May 15, 2008

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.

May 15, 2008: borders of nothingness

Listener comments!
	10:40am Derek: Ah, I was wondering where the comments section went. Glad this back. Love the set so far.
	10:42am Cecile: Me, too!
	10:43am matt perkeberf: Is adolf noise's album really called 'my favborite things' or is that a typo (sometimes it's hard to figure out w/trouble)
	10:44am lafaro61: Very charming title!
	10:44am dc pat: that cliff calisle was amazing. I'm going to a national chain and buy that album.
	10:45am Ken: Trouble has finally given in and has restored the comment box. 'Twas creepy comments that compelled her to take it down before, Hat's off to her for the second chance!
	10:45am Zorba: Trouble, this music is making me forget all my troubles. Thanks
	10:48am jorge: bon soir trouble, hellos from spain from this peruvian guy
	10:49am Derek: Creepy comments? I'm really curious now. Everytime I've been here, it's been normal.
	10:50am Cecile: Oh, who would give Trouble trouble?
	10:53am jorge: so nice to listened to East river pipe today, that guy and his music is brilliant, hope to listen to a new record soon
	10:54am Pea: Trouble only brings joy here, and glorious sounds I'd never hear anywhere else. Thanks :-)
	10:56am kent goldings: I was here the last day for Trouble's previous comment board... the comments were creepy indeed. Here's hoping she has better luck this time around! Trouble- thanks for all the amazing music today and every Thursday!
	10:57am jorge: what kind of idiot will make simple math operations just to post something stupid here?, god what a shame

	11:03am m: thanks for the last set trouble, great stuff.
	11:07am Patrick: i have no spelling skills! or grammer skills but thats not gonna stop me. im glad you got a comments page!!
	11:07am Parq: Golly, I was so deeply immersed in work that I didn't even look until Ms. T mentioned it on the air. Be it known, this is a creep-free zone. All hail Francoise Hardy, Nina Simone and all our friends.
	11:08am jojo: luxury is a big fat fat fat man smiling, so ugly and bad, but you can't do anything about it....
	11:08am Tom: Fuzzy fuzz... I like MVEE!
	11:09am Rococo Pagoda: Bring back the loons! Their calls were funny and cosmic at the same time. Plus, what could be more appropriate for bringing back the comments than having a chorus of loons?
	11:10am jorge: you have to check out Primavera Sound festival line up guys, MVEE will play there by the way, the problem? is in spain..
	11:10am jamesie: Glad you had the nerve to let all us creepy people post messages - hooray.
	11:14am Tom: Yeah Jorge, Primavera looks good. I wish I was in Spain... Träd, Gräs och Stenar would be cool to check out as well.
	11:14am Listener Dave from NH: The loons are good and all, but I'm all about the peepers. (even if they're not birds) I hear them bunches on my evening bike rides when I go by ponds and I love the heck out of them - they sound like springtime to me.
	11:16am Jorge: Yeah tom tons of great bands playing there, will try to be early there to check TRGR och cause i really like those guys.
	11:19am GUMBY: Dave from NH - Love the peepers too, alas they are past here in Jersey. and the loons left a month ago. But soon it will be catch the blue claw crabs time
	11:23am toby: Hurray for dub music! Thanks for this. Love the Vivian Jackson recordings especially. His Michael Prophet productions are my favorite.
	11:33am dc pat: I saw a cedar wax wing sitting in an alley here in our Nation's Crapital last week. I thought it was hurt, touched its back, and it flew away. amazing birds.
	11:36am Shiona: Ello Trouble, my dad (Jamesie) just gave me that little tote with the guitar on it that you gave him. I guess pink isn't his colour. I'm well chuffed. S x
	11:39am Parq: Never heard Simone White before. Man, she sings pretty.
	11:39am Adrian in London: We've recently been getting woken up at 4am by the birds tweeting away. And we have parakeets in the trees near my flat, it's very exotic!
	11:39am GUMBY: cedar wax wings are nice, saw a Baltimore oriole last week, very uplifting. Tis the season for visual bird feasting.
	11:57am Barney: A couple of winters ago up here in NH, our house got dive-bombed by a bunch of waxwings who were getting loaded off of old fermented crabapples and other aged tree fruits. Funny birds.
	11:58am mark: the john cale cut was phenomenal!!! any idea where i can get it? thanks so much.
	11:59am Parq: NYC, see? I have to make do with morning (mourning?) doves in the fire escape across the airshaft from my kitchenette. It's nicer than you might think.
	12:00pm Parker: I need to pick up one of the many box sets Trojan puts out. Every time I listen to your show Trouble, you make my decision so much more difficult!!
	5:07pm trouble: thanks everyone for a great opening day with comments! answers to questions: the adolf noise is from a compilation named my favorite things. And the john cale/lcd sound system i think i found on the culture bully site. i was looking for another mash-up and stumbled onto it that way.
	6:49pm mike tp: how come noone chimes in after the show is over. loved juttahipp. never heard of her. later the goombah of soul
	2:29pm Howling Rabbit: Actually, I liked the Led Zeppelin cut. And you, of course, I'm assuming are not under any pressure to play music that you don't want to play.
