	10:02am Adrian in London: Just bought a ticket for Julianna Barwick at Purcell Room in London' would have forgotten about it if you playing the track hadn't reminded me…
	10:03am Trouble: you will LOVE that show adrian, i promise!
	10:16am Glenn m: I love this
	10:17am Mike East: does lonnie holley have any upcoming happenings?
	10:19am Trouble: lonnie lives in atlanta. he played at the whitney end of march. i just looked at his facebook page and he does list gigs there, you should check that....
	10:23am Mike East: thank you for bringing that to us, Trouble. I like the way you spaced it out over the course of the month. Each week has brought me back to the same place. Such an amazing talent.
	10:24am ellesbells_LDN: seriously excited to discover lonnie holley. thanks Trouble.
	10:25am dc pat: DAMMIT!! Missed Mr. Holley again. Why do people have to talk to me?
	10:25am βrian: Good morning. Tentatively sunny skies over the isthmus today. No leaves yet.
	10:28am tim from champaign: Trouble, do you know if Lonnie Holley has a gallery in Atlanta? I make it there every few years and would like to seek out his work next time I'm there.
	10:28am ausmanx: i assume lonnie's not heading to sydney any time soon. as usual. there are disadvantages to living at the end of the world.
	10:33am Priscilla: I though Obama was making a "personal" announcement, but no, it's a "personnel" announcement www.whitehouse.gov...
	10:46am dc pat: great tune "jackie onassis"
	10:48am βrian: Seemed kind of Serge Gainsbourgien.
	10:52am Zachary: Amazing set today
	10:52am Parq: Ah. For a second, I thought that said "Beethoven's Hangmen." I am very relieved to see that it is not so.
	10:52am peter: Good morning Trouble & FMU land, it's practically snowing here in the PNW, jeez, Spring, we're ready for ya!
	10:57am doca: let's say it: few things are better than duke ellington, right?
	10:58am Konin: I'm gonna blow my trombone, right now.
	10:59am john: @Tim, Sorry I missed you and the gamelan concert last weekend. I had to get out of town early, but heard it was good. Hope you got to see it. Another time, maybe.
	11:03am Trouble: here is that petition to sign to urge the passage of a national bottle bill and bag act signon.org...
	11:03am Roberto: Roberto always reuses bags when shopping. Roberto has been doing this since 1990.
	11:04am Trouble: you go roberto!!
	11:04am dc pat: DC has a bag law--it instantly cleared up all the bags floating around the city. It works.
	11:06am dc pat: Done and done.
	11:07am tim from champaign: Hey John, that's cool. I did end up going and it was really enjoyable. Let me know next time you're around for sure.
	11:10am Trouble: hey peter! had this joyce ready just in case you were listening...
	11:12am timotato: Joyce is fab. Love Brasilian stuff in general.
	11:19am Parq: I'm with Timo -- Brazilian stuff does something for me that nothing else does.
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Observe - if you will - this Beltane Altar : sacredseeds.files.wordpress.com... - from : sacredseeds.wordpress.com...
	11:28am coxsone: BRUK!!
	11:31am robyn: lovely stuff
	11:31am Trouble: i agree about the brasil vibe, can't get enough...
	11:33am dc pat: I like when we go to jamaica..
	11:36am Joe McG: The Jimmy Buffet of reggae! Trouble, you're hilarious.
	11:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: ...but accurate, I'd say.
	11:38am mad: i think i was 600!
	11:39am Trouble: www.facebook.com...
	11:39am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Yup: They just like Marley 'cause he smoked pot - that's just like Buffet & those happy hour yuppies...
	11:40am dc pat: you could say a lot of musicians are the Jimmy Buffet of whatever. But that happens all over the place. I don't stop looking at Van Gogh paintings or Charlie Chaplin movies just because you see them referenced everywhere. Doesn't make Marley's music any less good or valid--but I think that's what trouble was getting at...
	11:40am timotato: Speaking of Brasilian, I'm so psyched that Marisa Monte is playing the Beacon in late June. My fave of faves!
	11:41am Ike: Isn't it just the "Legend" hits CD that represents the Jimmy Buffet realm of reggae? Those songs ("No Woman No Cry" etc.) are all horribly burnt out from intense overplaying, but fortunately Bob Marley did a lot of other good, mostly forgotten songs like the one Trouble just played.
	11:45am Patrick: good morning trouble! great show this morning, although the last hour i have drowned out with the vacuum... bummer about the cavity!
	11:45am Pete from Boston (and NJ): Calling Bob Marley the Jimmy Buffet of reggae has the unfortunate concurrent result of conversely making Jimmy Buffet the Bob Marley of whatever it is he does, so, no.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I esp. like old poorly-recorded ska, Studio One type stuff & Dub - it's like the Jamaican equivalent of GarageRock...Who hasn't been touched by Bob Marley? - The first difference between the Commercial World & WFMU-type thinking is that there are in fact more than 30 songs for maximum rotation in the world - but most people think no more about their Music Diet than they care about eating anything besides Fast Food: What they like about their musical choices is that they do not have to think about them - they take what they're fed...
	11:50am robyn: well, jimmy buffett is the embodiment of a certain white middle class unconsciousness. which is pretty impressive if not necessarily self-aware.
	11:50am Pete from Boston (and NJ): I have only had one confirmed cavity, and nobody noticed it through a whole bunch of regular dental visits until it was so far gone that they weren't sure if I'd need a root canal. Still baffles me. Sometimes I think there's a threshold at which you're just required to pay for extra dentistry even if you don't need it, and they just make something up.
	11:50am Trouble: hello patrick!!hello emily!!
	11:51am Parq: I remember white kids in Boston bars in the 70s, dancing effetely to white bands playing reggae, so none of the current adoption of reggae by the Parrotheads surprises me at all.
	11:51am Rev. Turnip Druid: Let's be fair: Jimmy Buffett was always the Emma Goldman of Charlie Chaplin.
	11:51am Ike: Then Pete, let's just say you can Buffet-ize certain Marley hits through intense Chinese-water-torture-like overplaying, but you can't Marley-ize any Buffet songs. Such destruction only goes one way.
	11:52am Ralphine: God bless you for playing Open Sesame. Feel the power and the spirit of the genie!!!!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I kind of make a distinction between 'Real Reggae' & 'Tourist Reggae' - if you get my meaning. Young people in Jamaica aren't esp. into Bob or Reggae now anyhow, from what I understand (which might not be much)...
	11:53am dc pat: to me it's like "the blues"--you can go out and find a lame "reggae" group any day of the week, but to actually find somebody doing something unique and/or good, takes some leg-work. It's REALLY hard to go see a good blues performance because of the Jimmy Buffettization of blues.
	11:54am dc pat: RTD: not sure it's legal to use those 3 names in the same sentence..
	11:54am Patrick: what do you think is worse? parrotheads embracing bob marley, or 2 generations of dirty flip flop wearing undergrads thinking he is some kinda cultural leader?
	11:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: Thanks to the overplaying of Marley, I deliberately refused to give any of that stuff a chance. Then Scientist/Tubby busted that for good. But then, I'm a no-vocal kind of freak.
	11:55am Parq: Dig you, DCP. I call that "college-town blues", because it's what's heard in bars in the New Paltzes and South Bends of the country.
	11:57am Rev. Turnip Druid: vocals of this type, however.... i can dig all damned day.
	11:57am tim from champaign: My reggae experience is similar to RTD's.
	11:58am dc pat: star
	11:58am SeanG: always liked "Mister Brown" sung by Marley
	11:59am dc pat: similar to Chaplin for me--I always blew him off because I thought it was just mainstream crap, preferring 3 Stooges. But then I actually watched a short and that was it.
	12:01pm Ralphine: I've always liked Keaton better than Chaplin.

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.

	11:45am Patrick: good morning trouble! great show this morning, although the last hour i have drowned out with the vacuum... bummer about the cavity!
	11:45am Pete from Boston (and NJ): Calling Bob Marley the Jimmy Buffet of reggae has the unfortunate concurrent result of conversely making Jimmy Buffet the Bob Marley of whatever it is he does, so, no.
	11:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I esp. like old poorly-recorded ska, Studio One type stuff & Dub - it's like the Jamaican equivalent of GarageRock...Who hasn't been touched by Bob Marley? - The first difference between the Commercial World & WFMU-type thinking is that there are in fact more than 30 songs for maximum rotation in the world - but most people think no more about their Music Diet than they care about eating anything besides Fast Food: What they like about their musical choices is that they do not have to think about them - they take what they're fed...
	11:50am robyn: well, jimmy buffett is the embodiment of a certain white middle class unconsciousness. which is pretty impressive if not necessarily self-aware.
	11:50am Pete from Boston (and NJ): I have only had one confirmed cavity, and nobody noticed it through a whole bunch of regular dental visits until it was so far gone that they weren't sure if I'd need a root canal. Still baffles me. Sometimes I think there's a threshold at which you're just required to pay for extra dentistry even if you don't need it, and they just make something up.
	11:50am Trouble: hello patrick!!hello emily!!
	11:51am Parq: I remember white kids in Boston bars in the 70s, dancing effetely to white bands playing reggae, so none of the current adoption of reggae by the Parrotheads surprises me at all.
	11:51am Rev. Turnip Druid: Let's be fair: Jimmy Buffett was always the Emma Goldman of Charlie Chaplin.
	11:51am Ike: Then Pete, let's just say you can Buffet-ize certain Marley hits through intense Chinese-water-torture-like overplaying, but you can't Marley-ize any Buffet songs. Such destruction only goes one way.
	11:52am Ralphine: God bless you for playing Open Sesame. Feel the power and the spirit of the genie!!!!
	11:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I kind of make a distinction between 'Real Reggae' & 'Tourist Reggae' - if you get my meaning. Young people in Jamaica aren't esp. into Bob or Reggae now anyhow, from what I understand (which might not be much)...
	11:53am dc pat: to me it's like "the blues"--you can go out and find a lame "reggae" group any day of the week, but to actually find somebody doing something unique and/or good, takes some leg-work. It's REALLY hard to go see a good blues performance because of the Jimmy Buffettization of blues.
	11:54am dc pat: RTD: not sure it's legal to use those 3 names in the same sentence..
	11:54am Patrick: what do you think is worse? parrotheads embracing bob marley, or 2 generations of dirty flip flop wearing undergrads thinking he is some kinda cultural leader?
	11:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: Thanks to the overplaying of Marley, I deliberately refused to give any of that stuff a chance. Then Scientist/Tubby busted that for good. But then, I'm a no-vocal kind of freak.
	11:55am Parq: Dig you, DCP. I call that "college-town blues", because it's what's heard in bars in the New Paltzes and South Bends of the country.
	11:57am Rev. Turnip Druid: vocals of this type, however.... i can dig all damned day.
	11:57am tim from champaign: My reggae experience is similar to RTD's.
	11:58am dc pat: star
	11:58am SeanG: always liked "Mister Brown" sung by Marley
	11:59am dc pat: similar to Chaplin for me--I always blew him off because I thought it was just mainstream crap, preferring 3 Stooges. But then I actually watched a short and that was it.
	12:01pm Ralphine: I've always liked Keaton better than Chaplin.
