Listener comments!
	9:05am KevinfromBayRidge: Good & Brisk Morning. Today's image is a bit startling. Hope no one's getting devoured!
	9:05am Cheri Pi: kuupuu! Trouble!
	9:05am Sem Chumbo: Good morning, Trouble and her soon-to-assemble elflock.
	9:06am Trouble: good morning my little radio chickens!
	9:06am ausmanx: hey trouble, situationists ahoy! i reckon the 21st century could do with some Guy Debord, but he couldn't even stand the 20th. god knows what he'd make of it now... Asger Jorn is subversive in other ways
	9:06am Cheri Pi: cheepcheep
	9:07am northguineahills: kuupuu!!!
	9:10am PKNY: Feeling the Yatha Bhuta, it's been promptly added to my Spotify "to be listened to" list.
	9:15am Trouble: oh yes today's artist is asger jorn. forgot to tell you all about last week's artist, last week.
	9:20am doca: hello trouble and listeners
	9:21am Van in DC: morning trouble and peoples.
	9:24am Ralphine: That Asger Jorn picture reminds me of a villain on the old Birdman cartoon called The Constrictor: www.cartoonscrapbook.com...
	9:28am northguineahills: double trouble trouble.
	9:43am DCE: sounds like Arthur Lee singing. Oh hi there!
	9:45am DCE: yes, it's still...early for me...
	9:45am Priscilla: Sounds a little like Barbara & Ernie
	9:53am Jennique: Good morning fellow Troublemakers. Love the "aht" as they say in Providence. Can't tell if this is an old portrait with the demon shawl painted over it. In any case, I would wear that demon shawl proudly if I owned one.
	9:58am dc pat: is this song about drugs??
	9:59am Cecile: ooga chucka ooga chucka Actually this arrangement sounds a lot like "Neon Rainbow" era Box Tops.
	9:59am Van in DC: Haven't heard that one in way too long! (The BJ Thomas)
	9:59am Priscilla: Yeah, a feeling called L-U-V
	9:59am Cecile: dcp, he's just high on life and America.
	10:00am dc pat: hmm, ok...well gotta go get on the phone for the next 2 hours....have fun.
	10:03am chris: Great tune and band
	10:03am Trouble: goodmorning troubled ones! jennique i should make a demon shawl, love that phrase...it is an 'intervention' painting, he painted over another piece.
	10:04am Jennique: This painting reminds me of the "Grumpy Cat" stained glass panel. 25.media.tumblr.com...
	10:05am βrian: Azure skies over the isthmus today. Bonjour.
	10:08am ausmanx: detournement... debord did it with film, but viennet was best... "Can Dialectics Break Bricks?" is genuinely hysterical...
	10:08am tim from champaign: Cool. I've been wanting to hear Savages. This song sounds good. Anyone listen to the whole album yet? How is it?
	10:12am northguineahills: @ausmax, I need to check that out, I missed that.
	10:13am Trouble: brian, i love your artistic weather reports, way better than weather underground, though perhaps not so revolutionary sounding...
	10:14am ausmanx: NGH, it's magnificent, trashy martial arts movie dubbed with the swordsmen shouting heavy French structuralist philosophy at each other. one of the funniest things i've ever seen
	10:15am Bryant: The Savages album is good. I listened to the whole thing once and immediately bought tickets to see them at Webster Hall in July.
	10:15am βrian: "Aux barricades, comrades !" (How's that?)
	10:17am Trouble: tres bien!
	10:18am ausmanx: whole thing's on youtube www.youtube.com...
	10:19am Dave E: Hi Trouble - TY for the info on the hens last week . . . may raise some of my own next year.
	10:23am Van in DC: Hmm. Why is this reminding me of Blue Monday.
	10:24am βrian: Hens will kill you. (With custard.) Yum.
	10:31am Trouble: yesterday i read david foster wallace's kenyon college grad speech. here is a link to the audio of it. what should i start with if i have never read anything by him? www.brainpickings.org...
	10:32am βrian: I have a printout of that speech on my nightstand, as it happens.
	10:36am Greg from Bloomfield: I had to do that the other day in Tunnel traffic: "This is water...This is water..."
	10:38am SeanG: sing it Snoop!
	10:41am Lonious Monk: bonjour bonjour trouble & all listeners
	10:43am kwhitehead: Hey Trouble: I would recommend "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men." Excellent short stories. Best to ease your way in.
	10:44am AndrewC.: Consider the Lobster is a collection of non-fiction essays. Very fun to read and a great intro to his tone...
	10:45am βrian: That's the song: "Yoo hoo?"
	10:45am jamesie: prepping the fibergass fairing while we rock
	10:49am βrian: That throaty wood thrush. I'm in love!
	10:49am listener mark: Little Red Riding Hood in a Wolf's clothing.
	10:50am Cecile: mackerel is wonderful
	10:51am listener mark: In Jersey City, death is not an impediment to casting a ballot.
	10:52am tim from champaign: DJ Icepack is actually thinking "Can I make it there on my bike?".
	10:54am Ike: Oops, I just missed the restaurant review. What's it called? And do you have any particular favorites among the Indian restaurants on Newark Ave.? I am always baffled by the overabundance of choices there.
	10:59am felipe: GREAT SHOW TROUBLE! THANKS!!!!
	11:00am Marmalade Kitty: what felipe said!!
	11:02am Parq: Joining the throng late today. There are clean-cut kids in white tee shirts on every corner in Manhattan today, singing a jingle in praise of Oreos. Oh, this is going to be a long day.
	11:03am Cecile: that's the riff from Peter Frampton's Do You Know What I Feel
	11:03am Cecile: I mean Do You Feel Like I Do...
	11:04am still b/p: Was just gonna say 'zackly that.
	11:07am tim from champaign: What's that all about, Parq? Sounds pretty grody.
	11:12am Trouble: thanks felipe and marmalade! parq that sounds koooky, ad execs....who knows how they think. Yakitori 39 is the restaurant in teaneck, ike. there is a great jane restaurant off the newark strip, called sathpagiri. super great!
	11:12am hendrix wolfbat: well, from now on i know where i will go to be blown away...great show. thank you
	11:16am Trouble: sorry: it's SAPTHAGIRI www.villagevoice.com...
	11:16am Trouble: thanks hendrix!
	11:17am Priscilla: @Parq: Oh no! www.multivu.com...
	11:19am Cecile: Oreo's ad campaign has adorable animation and lettering but Owl City and Oreo together put me into a diabetic coma.
	11:20am Ike: Parq, are they at least giving away some free Oreos?
	11:24am Cecile: yeah, that's the least they could do.
	11:25am Vivian: Yum! Love Oreos and they're vegan to boot!
	11:26am Parq: But of course, guys. If that's your idea of a boon. To me, free junk food is just free junk. In general, in city life, advertising is getting so much more intrusive that I seriously expect to see a day when we are required by law to accept it on the walls of our own living rooms.
	11:28am still b/p: Steven Wright used to say he had a crush on his dental hygienist, so before the cleaning appointment he'd eat a whole bag of Oreos.
	11:28am Ike: Parq, there was a George Saunders short story, "My Flamboyant Grandson," sort of like that. Not exactly involving living rooms, though.
	11:29am Jennique: Been away from my desk. Did I miss DJ Icepack??? @Parq - I totally agree about ads, they are worming their way into more and more free space. Only solution is to move out of the city, methinks.
	11:31am Trouble: i hear you parq! about the ads and the food. we are like mennonites at our house. i make nearly every cookie and cake. but we are gluten free, so that is a starting point for us that most people don't have.
	11:31am Andrew Waterloo: Next they'll be tethering ad balloons to farm animals.
	11:32am Trouble: no jennique, he was here in food spirit only. he has 19 days of school left, best to take them as i get them...andrew somewhere in europe, i think, someone tried to introduce ads on sheep jackets and the govt stepped in and said no!
	11:35am Andrew Waterloo: at least they don't broadcast directly into our minds... yet.
	11:36am Andrew Waterloo: Leela: Didn't you have ads in the 21st century?" Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio, and in magazines, and movies, and at ball games... and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts, and bananas and written on the sky. But not in dreams, no siree.
	11:37am Andrew Waterloo: Do they still advertise on bananas?
	11:38am Jennique: @Andrew - did you ever see the movie Minority Report? In it, ads address you directly via retina scan, like a Gap ad person saying, "How'd those jeans work out for Andrew Waterloo?" SCARY because it could happen.
	11:39am still b/p: I suppose every percentage point of increase matters to the sellers, but at this point how much can you boost Oreo consumption? Or are they just tryin' to maintain? Remember the big ad banner in low-orbit concept? If it comes back, I hope the backers are beat back and scorched to cinders by the scorn.
	11:41am Andrew Waterloo: @Jennique.. That already happens.. granted they don't use retinal scans, and the style has never been that personal. But, most web advertising is based on browser history.
	11:43am Trouble: we are there now, in a sense. our entire 'democratic' lifestyle focuses on the health of business, which in turn demands that we buy the crap they sell, or else... we are marketed to in everything we do.
	11:43am Andrew Waterloo: the market share for Orea is so big you need to work in order to maintain it as well.
	11:45am Jennique: Well I am off again to do a bird tour in the Ramble. No ads, just birds. aaaaah Catch you on the archives!
	11:48am Vivian: In my house, we try to stay away from processed foods which is pretty easy since I only eat veggies, grains and occasionally tofu. If time allows, I try to bake bread, can veggies and make cookies for both human and canine from scratch. Even down to making my own deo, perfume, etc. But it really depends on how much time I can squirrel away on weekends. With all the other chores to do, it can be difficult.
	11:48am Brian in UK: Hello, first rhubarb of the season is picked. Rhubarb & Ginger jam now available in the foyer £2 jar. All proceeds to FMU.
	11:49am mrmango: oooo, that mv& ee, such a nice track, anything else about thems?
	11:51am Brian in UK: Made some Lemon Drizzle & Rocky Road the other week for work. As Bill Cosby would say, 'For no particular reason'
	11:52am Vivian: It's a matter of saying no to consumerism that seems so prominent today. If folks only took the time to ask themselves ' What were the working conditions for the human to make this product? Did it impact the environment in a negative way? Did it involve animal testing?' With so much crap in the world, it makes sense to go to a second hand shop or upcycle..
	11:52am Jeff: It isn't completely hopeless to try to exercise one's regular traditional voting franchise, though. Which (ahem) anyone here who happens to be in Jersey City should be going out and doing right now. It's one of the few things I request you do even in lieu of continuing to listen to the lovely musical stylings on WFMU. I read an analysis which suggests that if there's low turnout, a certain thuggish incumbent will probably stay in office, but if people get up off their asses and into their polling places, something good could happen.
	11:54am Trouble: mv&ee have tons of music out there in the cosmos. they are indefatigable, live in rural vermont and play and record as much as possible. probably some free stuff on the FMA site thru wfmu. have had them live on my show, so has dan bodah
	11:55am Andrew Waterloo: @Vivian, I think it's just as important to ask "why am I buying this in the first place."
	11:56am Brian in UK: We had a questionaire round at work and were asked the three most important things to us. I wrote, communication, communication, communication.
	11:57am Trouble: rhubarb ginger jam sounds great!!! yum. right on vivian!, jeff, andrew!! VOTE today in JC
	11:57am tim from champaign: When I was a social worker I worked for the nationwide non-profit with the initials BBBS. Around 2002 the organization rolled out a "branding" ad campaign modelled on for-profit ad campaigns. I was appalled by it and knew it would fail miserably; which it did.
	11:57am Trouble: tootles o thoughtful ones...
	12:02pm mrmango: thanks trouble, great show as usual, i'll look em up

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.

	11:36am Andrew Waterloo: Leela: Didn't you have ads in the 21st century?" Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio, and in magazines, and movies, and at ball games... and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts, and bananas and written on the sky. But not in dreams, no siree.
	11:37am Andrew Waterloo: Do they still advertise on bananas?
	11:38am Jennique: @Andrew - did you ever see the movie Minority Report? In it, ads address you directly via retina scan, like a Gap ad person saying, "How'd those jeans work out for Andrew Waterloo?" SCARY because it could happen.
	11:39am still b/p: I suppose every percentage point of increase matters to the sellers, but at this point how much can you boost Oreo consumption? Or are they just tryin' to maintain? Remember the big ad banner in low-orbit concept? If it comes back, I hope the backers are beat back and scorched to cinders by the scorn.
	11:41am Andrew Waterloo: @Jennique.. That already happens.. granted they don't use retinal scans, and the style has never been that personal. But, most web advertising is based on browser history.
	11:43am Trouble: we are there now, in a sense. our entire 'democratic' lifestyle focuses on the health of business, which in turn demands that we buy the crap they sell, or else... we are marketed to in everything we do.
	11:43am Andrew Waterloo: the market share for Orea is so big you need to work in order to maintain it as well.
	11:45am Jennique: Well I am off again to do a bird tour in the Ramble. No ads, just birds. aaaaah Catch you on the archives!
	11:48am Vivian: In my house, we try to stay away from processed foods which is pretty easy since I only eat veggies, grains and occasionally tofu. If time allows, I try to bake bread, can veggies and make cookies for both human and canine from scratch. Even down to making my own deo, perfume, etc. But it really depends on how much time I can squirrel away on weekends. With all the other chores to do, it can be difficult.
	11:48am Brian in UK: Hello, first rhubarb of the season is picked. Rhubarb & Ginger jam now available in the foyer £2 jar. All proceeds to FMU.
	11:49am mrmango: oooo, that mv& ee, such a nice track, anything else about thems?
	11:51am Brian in UK: Made some Lemon Drizzle & Rocky Road the other week for work. As Bill Cosby would say, 'For no particular reason'
	11:52am Vivian: It's a matter of saying no to consumerism that seems so prominent today. If folks only took the time to ask themselves ' What were the working conditions for the human to make this product? Did it impact the environment in a negative way? Did it involve animal testing?' With so much crap in the world, it makes sense to go to a second hand shop or upcycle..
	11:52am Jeff: It isn't completely hopeless to try to exercise one's regular traditional voting franchise, though. Which (ahem) anyone here who happens to be in Jersey City should be going out and doing right now. It's one of the few things I request you do even in lieu of continuing to listen to the lovely musical stylings on WFMU. I read an analysis which suggests that if there's low turnout, a certain thuggish incumbent will probably stay in office, but if people get up off their asses and into their polling places, something good could happen.
	11:54am Trouble: mv&ee have tons of music out there in the cosmos. they are indefatigable, live in rural vermont and play and record as much as possible. probably some free stuff on the FMA site thru wfmu. have had them live on my show, so has dan bodah
	11:55am Andrew Waterloo: @Vivian, I think it's just as important to ask "why am I buying this in the first place."
	11:56am Brian in UK: We had a questionaire round at work and were asked the three most important things to us. I wrote, communication, communication, communication.
	11:57am Trouble: rhubarb ginger jam sounds great!!! yum. right on vivian!, jeff, andrew!! VOTE today in JC
	11:57am tim from champaign: When I was a social worker I worked for the nationwide non-profit with the initials BBBS. Around 2002 the organization rolled out a "branding" ad campaign modelled on for-profit ad campaigns. I was appalled by it and knew it would fail miserably; which it did.
	11:57am Trouble: tootles o thoughtful ones...
	12:02pm mrmango: thanks trouble, great show as usual, i'll look em up
