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.

trouble:

good august day one and all
  9:04am
v k:

very good august day - 57 degrees upon rising in the Garden State this morn
  9:06am
Adrian in rainy London:

Morning Trouble. I just listened to last week's show yesterday. Really liked the Angel Olsen track.
  9:06am
BSI:

  9:08am
maja:

  9:12am
still b/p:

  9:15am
trouble:

good morning adrian, vk, maja, bsi, yes august can be cruel, oops don't we mean coooool
  9:15am
Parq:

Nina's version of this is always welcome.
  9:16am
pierre:

BONJOUR Trouble how i missed you guys !!
how was your vacances ?
  9:17am
Adrian in rainy London:

Cool? It's parky in London today. Flood warnings! Helps to stop the riots, I suppose, unless people loot the outdoor shops for wellington boots.
  9:18am
Scotland Yard:

hooligans looting boots = welligans
  9:20am
Adrian in rainy London:

Ha ha! Apparently, someone turned up with a van and was looting a hifi/electrical store near me. While he was inside nabbing more TVs, someone drove off in his van!
  9:20am
trouble:

bonjour pierre! we all missed you, hope you did si\omething fab. la plage in Rhode Island was wonderful but it seems long ago, instead of only 3 weeks past. Do google more nina bovasso: a wonderful and great artist and wfmu lover
  9:21am
luh3417:

what is the print pattern looks like a Margaret Preston http://tinyurl.com/3lpkx2s
  9:24am
Parq:

Never heard this particular Ra track before. Splendid!
  9:24am
healey:

Good Morning from Philadelphia to Trouble and all who listen!
  9:25am
BSI:

Running off with plumbing supplies might make one a LOO-ter, no?
  9:25am
yayson:

always trouble, with the right music at the right time!
  9:28am
still b/p:

..and those particular looters would be subject to harsh censure by the Privy Council.
  9:29am
Wild Neil:

I saw Sun Ra in Hoboken once...I told him, "you are guys are better than the Grateful Dead"...his reply?"That's because we are the Grateful LIVING"...
  9:30am
trouble:

today's artist is nina bovasso
  9:32am
trouble:

good morning philadelphia! welcome yayson, parq, wild neil
  9:35am
ffrr:

Is that popul vuh cut from Herzog's film? I think that's the one where he hypnotized the cast before filming scenes.
  9:35am
trouble:

that is such a sun ra moment! he was sooooo cool, the best
  9:41am
Wild Neil:

Good job Trouble!! Great show, makes my day really sparkly...
  9:41am
BSI:

Graceful Cow?
  9:45am
v k:

perfume & cologne help mask the sunrise Spliff
  9:47am
steve:

oh yeah getiin high
  9:47am
moose:

i regularly have to switch seats or even cars on the path train because of terrible perfumes, mostly on young men, i blame AXE and its similar friends
  9:50am
pierre:

Rhode Island sounds so nice to me right now…
  9:50am
Wild Neil:

Trouble, what is the best Sun Ra album to start me off? The most accessible Sun Ra?
  9:54am
BSI:

Most accessible (yet thoroughly awesome) Sun Ra? Lanquidity maybe?
  10:00am
pgw in mntclr:

"Lanquidity" is pretty fantastic and not too out
  10:01am
Jennique:

Happy late August Trouble! Went for a night swim (7-8pm) at the Central Park outdoor pool last night. So lovely. HIGHLY recommend using outdoor pools before the weather turns.
  10:01am
fred von helsing:

groovin'
  10:02am
ffrr:

The thing with Ra is that the whole aura/experience of the live shows can never be captured on recordings. You really needed to be there, unfortunately no more. He used to sell unlabeled vinyl bootlegs at shows that came close, with sidelong jams directly from outer space.
  10:02am
trouble:

i adore "sound of joy" and "the singles". very old school vibe but with the beat and sound that sums up sun ra in a lot of ways, very beautiful, not noisy
  10:05am
moose:

where's the pool in CP? as a JC,NJ resident (and carless) my public pool options are crummy.
great show by the way - rock it!
  10:07am
pgw in mntclr:

also pretty fantastic: Sheila Cronin's story about Sun Ra on the "Looking for a Thrill" dvd
  10:07am
healey:

these are fun too http://tinyurl.com/3no2fkc
  10:08am
trouble:

moose have you gone to the pershing pool? i dig it in a very old school pool way. old people or lots of kids screaming in the free swim area, depends on the time of day
  10:09am
Stu:

Soulful Tuesday !
  10:09am
Jennique:

Love the booty bumpin tunes!
@moose:The pool in CP is up in the NE corner. Take the BC train to 110 Street to get there (a lovely 10 minute walk). It's free! Best deal in the city. Nice and empty at that late hour.
  10:13am
trouble:

hey stu! hey jennique!
  10:14am
moose:

thanks all
splash splash
  10:19am
βrian:

I made my entry to the sound of birdsong. A good sign, I think.
  10:23am
BSI:

Rabid Don Cherry completist here, and this one has eluded me thus far. Veddy nice.
  10:27am
trouble:

the world of blogs delivered this to our door...
  10:30am
Brian in UK:

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring, he went to bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning. At least he's not going to maintain, a smell that will contaminate the train. Press the button and inhale the vapour, let everyone enjoy your eyewatering caper.

Priceless links as ever, trouble.
  10:30am
hamburger:

hello - weird (backmasking?) neatness goin on..
  10:31am
aaron in chicago:

for a second I thought diane's show was starting early
  10:33am
kwhitehead:

Just wondering who's responsible for all the entertaining WFMU tweets that I get everyday?
  10:34am
trouble:

can't help you there kwitehead. i barely have time to breathe these days, not on twitter...should i be?
  10:38am
kwhitehead:

It depends. I thought I'd give it a whirl and I really like it. It's a great way to find out about things you didn't know you cared about, if that makes sense.

My 10 year old son is all over it as well, talking with his skater buddies.
  10:43am
moose:

i won't go near the twitter or facebook for fear of being overwhelmed
plus the eternal existence of every stupid thing i say makes me nervous
anyway i'm making my exit - cheers gang
  10:45am
pierre:

some things can help you with twitter, it is a matter of choosing the people you follow.
  10:47am
Priscilla:

The Red Hook pool is huge and fabulous, especially the early session (11-2:45). Also, as a thematic confluence, I saw Sun Ra perform at the Astoria public pool once!
  10:47am
βrian:

Twitter was pretty useful during the first round of Wisconsin protests. Facebook I will not touch.
  10:52am
kwhitehead:

Reading that book now. He does come off a bit hypocritcal.

I concur Trouble. I am from the post-punk generation and still love it more than ever.

I follow him on Twitter, btw.
  10:53am
hamburger:

(funny lil painting I thought I'd share - http://bit.ly/oqKC3s)
  10:53am
Andrew:

Awesome idea, Trouble!
  10:55am
Andrew:

Daniel J. Levitin, in "This Is Your Brain on Music," actually says that the human brain is hardwired to make the music it listens to in the teenage-to-early-twenties years VERY important, and base later judgments on that listening.
  10:56am
Jennique:

"Writing about music is like dancing about architecture"
  10:57am
hamburger:

I can dance a mean frank lloyd wright :) j/k
  10:59am
trouble:

oooh since i grew up listening to tom jones that makes no sense, wink wink
  11:00am
PAS Music:

This is some serious reverse mind control technique.
  11:01am
Andrew:

Maybe you have a faulty brain. :)
  11:02am
PAS Music:

ZOUNDS!!! They just released a new cd.
  11:03am
Brian in UK:

Jennique, may I mark your dance card for the Sir Norman Foster Waltz? Dancing up the escalators of Canary Wharf tube station on a sunny late summer evening.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Canary_wharf_tube_canopy.jpg
  11:06am
maja:

He Trouble, did you already say what artist this week made the drawing?( to lazy to read all the way back)
  11:07am
trouble:

yes maja, it is my fine friend nina bovasso
  11:09am
?:

@kwhitehead: Ken does the wfmu twitter feed (according to his playlist page). He also has his own twitter account.
  11:10am
kwhitehead:

Thanks mystery person!
  11:12am
Jennique:

I'd be honoured to have that dance Brian in UK. Perhaps we could also do the two-step up the lobby steps of the main library in New York City? http://sallanscorner.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/lobby.jpg
  11:16am
Brian in UK:

You would honour me greatly.
We will have to be quick the speed that libraries are disappearing over here at present.
  11:18am
erella:

Hi Trouble, good morning all. I love Scritti Politti so much. Did I tell you I saw them play here in toronto in maybe 2008. There were fewer than 20 people in the audience. I brought my friend (wonderful singer) Mary Margaret Ohara with me. Surreal. I was glad the music blew her mind as it always did for me.
  11:20am
trouble:

hello erella! that is a crazy scritti politti tale
  11:22am
maja:

ooh those works by Nina Bossova! I didn't knew her, but now i do!
bow deep, thank you you are the best!
  11:22am
Jennique:

Brain - The libraries are closing rapidly here in NYC as well. It makes no sense to me.
  11:24am
Wild Neil:

The LAST thing the out of control industrial-corporatcracy wants is a well-informed public. Ask Dwight D. Eisenhower...The Soviet Union did this actively...
  11:25am
Parq:

Decades later, I still love this Modettes record and I still can't make out a word she's saying without looking up the lyrics. I should do one of those translation videos where the "lyrics" are what it phonetically sounds like to me.
  11:27am
Parq:

If they release a new edition, maybe I'll do a Hitler Meme video in which he's told that the new ed. doesn't have a lyric sheet. ("Everybody who isn't old enough to remember the first Delta 5 single leave the room now.")
  11:29am
Jennique:

Parq - that is a great idea! Phonetic lyrics would be really funny. The song "The Israelites" comes to mind for me.
  11:31am
pgw in mntclr:

well hello, Miss Gentry
  11:32am
erella:

WHen I was a teenager I went to a small french village and saw a band that learned all the disco hits phonetically. My favourite was "Gedddown anboogie" (get down and boogie)
  11:33am
moose posting from away:

Mary Margaret O'Hara is FANTASTIC! neat
  11:39am
moose posting from away:

(that was aimed at erella)
  11:43am
pierre:

we (a friend and i) played at a festival (playing some records) with Kumisolo, she was very nice.
  11:44am
trouble:

cool, does she live in france, pierre? i so love that track, have yet to hear any thing else by her
  11:45am
Wild Neil:

Libraries are consolidating and closing here in Buffalo, New York area as well.
  11:51am
pgw in mntclr:

this mia doi todd song sounds like sandy denny singing in spanish over an alice coltrane album w/ a helping of fuzz guitar. very cool.
  11:51am
PAS Music:

Great show today! You reminded me I need a copy of the Mo Dettes!
  11:53am
v k:

kudos on another wonderful program
  11:54am
herb:

mash-ups are fun - but didn't SIMON REYNOLDS point out how derivative they are? (ohmigod, this "day o tripper" is derived from other actual songs!!??)
  11:57am
pierre:

i know that she studied in Paris (cinema) now i think she's back in Japan, although she (apparently) come here (in Paris) quite often.

Her music has always this childish (as in "good, funny, laid back" kind of music ) touch, she has made a cover of Mr Tambourine Man that you could check/find easily.
  11:58am
Parq:

Miss Trouble, this set is really something special.
  11:59am
trouble:

thanks for the fun my little pigeons. your homework is to begin to read simon reynolds retromania, gulp i sure hope my library has it!
  12:00pm
yayson:

this tulips is great right now
