	9:33am duke: DJ Doug of Give the Drummer Some had nice article about Yusef Lateef a couple of years ago blog.wfmu.org...

	9:42am PKNY: @duke - thanks for the link to that WFMU blog page. In that page was a link to a "Give the Drummer Some" session from '09 that is all Dr. Lateef: www.wfmu.org...
	9:42am Stanley: A Christmas-free Christmas. That's how I like it!
	9:49am van: I think you're doing a FINE tribute trouble!
	9:51am Trouble: thank you van!!
	9:58am Chris from DC: Great set.
	10:02am doca: Hello Trouble, hello all. Didn't see that Yusef Lateef has just passed away, music will miss him.
	10:05am dale: a troubling holiday eve to all. i wonder when the last time the EAS was activated - 9/11? never? still a nice christmas present to know that if the russians decide to bomb us we're good as long as the radio is on.
	10:07am doca: @dale: what you're talking about, dale?
	10:08am Ken From Hyde Park: That jay does look a bit plump. He either ate lots of berries or he's cold and all fluffed up.
	10:08am Tome: Hi Trouble HI Kiddles & a Happy Christmas one & all!! ( keep it simple..) tunes & Love and happiness & peace !
	10:09am Stanley: @dale - making the end times, happy times blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	10:09am dale: emergency alert system. or the old conelrad civil defense system
	10:10am dale: stanley - i had that tee shirt and wore it out, both literally and literally
	10:12am glenn: Greenwich Mean Time ‏@GreenwichMean It's 9.59pm. I hope Santa falls off your roof and sues you.
	10:16am Rev. Turnip Druid: fokes.
	10:19am Stanley: Many prostrations, Your Holiness.
	10:21am Rev. Turnip Druid: ...well that explains the bin of used rubber gloves. Did I black out at some point?
	10:26am pierre: Joyeux Noël Trouble and friends
	10:27am Bill W: Felicitations to all! Where is Pere Noel?
	10:31am Trouble: bonjour pierre! bonjour bill w! feeling well?
	10:32am pierre: I feel like drinking :)
	10:33am Brian in UK: @Bill W. He's behind you.
	10:35am Brian in UK: @pierre can I assist you with a shot of bison grass Polish vodka?
	10:35am common: a beer would be nice right about now.
	10:35am Sem Chumbo: Yah, @Bill W.: you better watch out!
	10:37am Trouble: anybody here make their own vanilla extract? trying to figure out if i should use vodka or rum...takes 6 months to cure! ack
	10:37am Sem Chumbo: @common: might I suggest this? www.huffingtonpost.com...
	10:38am Sem Chumbo: @Trouble: neutral, high ABV spirit of good quality might be best.
	10:39am Brian in UK: Trouble, just bought some vanilla extract to make some chocolate cake with coffee icing after festivities. Too much hassle to make it from scratch. We do leave a vanilla pod in the sugar and it has a wonderful essence.
	10:40am LovecraftDude888: Have barely been on WFMU the past 3 weeks, was busy moving apts., and the work never ends, plus holidays. Trying to listen while I get ready to head out later do last minute stuff. Weather all screwed up in NY...was 71 F. Sunday now it's 31! whoohooo
	10:40am bbbbbbb b b b b: I can ask my Oma for you. She just came in from the Rhineland!
	10:40am pierre: Anything will do. Although with the weather in Paris now, hot toddy would beat anything (that would actually still do..)
	10:41am LovecraftDude888: And I only caught 10 min. of Tom's last show Best Show cause online didn't work, had to tune in on home theater rec. and then i was disappointed it wasn't that great...just being honest, but I love Tom. I guess I expected more special guests or whatever.
	10:41am Stanley: @ Sem Chumbo - we Scots lead the world in bollocks, if nothing else!
	10:42am sugarwolf: I am waiting for the Icelandic Christmas Cat.
	10:42am LovecraftDude888: Weather totally bollocked up here. NO idea how to dress. Last two days my uniform was Bowie LOW shirt and Levis jacket...now today could be parka and gloves. no idea. My friend Margaret is in Aberdeenshire 80 miles west of the city in the hills and she sez it's snowy and cold as hell right now. Really harsh.
	10:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - holy crow! - that beer's 10xs stronger than normal. What could that possibly taste like...
	10:43am Sem Chumbo: @Stanley: we here in New Scotland have to agree. Speaking of bollocks, how's your haggis?
	10:44am LovecraftDude888: I don't even need any gifts...moved and got new big arse TV and blu ray and finished setting that up last night...hung speakers and got new BandDecker drill and went to work doing manly man things....and got it sorted. Watched some of ALIEN to test it. Stonking! Anyway happy Xmas and holidays to all..back later after I get my head together here.
	10:46am bbbbbbb b b b b: lol, lovecraft
	10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...up here in my NewHampshuh town just over from Dartmouth, the Crows are Roosting as they do every few years it seems: masses of them cawing all hours & pooping messy smelly poop...A bit Hitchcock if you exit work in the dark evening & there's no one but you & hundered of Crows in a tree in the Church opposite...
	10:48am LovecraftDude888: I was frustrated could barely have time to connect here the past month, I had to escape awful apt. slime complex as I spoke of last time I was on. Oh it sucked! Now I'm in like, a real apt. what a concept. Also watched Little Odessa as my customary ANTI CHRISTMAS film! Tim Roth fest.
	10:52am Rob W: Lovely song by the Udaipur choral group. Katie and I are going to be in Udaipur in February! Didn't know about Christianity's presence there (especially as Rajasthan is expected to shift toward Hindu Nationalism unfortunately in upcoming Indian elections) - will have to check into that. And when we were in Buenos Aires last month we met the son of Juana Molina's manager! Trouble, you're playing a very psychic set right now (for Katie and me anyway). Although - can't think of any connection to Brian Harnetty. Wait = we're in Detroit, and it's winter! (There's even snow on the ground here.) Katie has performed with James McNew of Dump (when he was briefly in Special Pillow). But I think the chain definitely ends (ironically) at The Daisy Chain. Thanks for the channeling Trouble and Good Christmas to you and Andy and DJ Icepack and all of you dear listeners in radioland!
	10:53am bbbbbbb b b b b: I have a brother who might appreciate that sort of tradition too, actually! Any suggested resources I might relay to my dear ten year old brother to get him in the anti-christmas spirit?
	10:54am Bill W: I am feeling well, and that's no lie Ms Wilcox.
	10:54am duke: @rabbit when I worked in Albany, there was an old armory next to our building. In the winter every evening hundreds of crows would descend to the armory roof and have a crowfest. It was creepy.
	10:54am glenn: Greenwich Mean Time ‏@GreenwichMean It's 12.13pm. No mince pies for you, your arse is already the size of a garden shed
	10:55am Stanley: @Sem Chumbo - Grandfather has to keep the 'Christmas Haggis' down his underpants until midnight then he whips it out to the delight and screams of the family and then everyone runs out to the tune of Donald where's yer troosers and throws him into the loch breaking the ice beforehand, if necessary.
	10:55am the glowing one: I knew that song from somewhere... a past life maybe... before the nuclear war with the chinese
	10:59am Adrian in London: Ooh, that threw me: this Françoise track used to be the ringtone on my old phone!
	10:59am Trouble: hello rob and katie!!!! this song is for you! because i am her at fmu all because of you you youuuuu. merry happy!
	10:59am Sem Chumbo: @Stanley: so, a fine time had by all, with a soundtrack by Harry Lauder. Glad there's nothing stereotypical about your traditions. Toss me that caber, mon.
	11:00am Faye: Enjoying the modern world via the app in upstate NY Trouble! Holiday greetings!
	11:01am Trouble: helllloo faye!
	11:03am sugarwolf: I found a very recent documentary about Francoise Hardy and Jacques Dutronc on YouTube. It was all in French so I only understood about 10% of it, but I think it was good.
	11:05am Rob & Katie: Aw gee thanks Trouble!
	11:05am Faye: Ooh I love Apartamento
	11:06am doca: I'm listening, Trouble...
	11:07am doca: Pinguinhos translates as "little drops", usually raindrops, like a light rain (:
	11:09am Adrian in London: Sometimes I can take or leave Karen Dalton but this is lovely!
	11:10am Trouble: sugarwolf how did you find this documentary, google? documentary francoise? would love to see her and jacques interacting...
	11:10am Trouble: adrian: i used to HATE karen dalton....now i adore her
	11:14am Tome: don't normally listen viz "vlc" meda player but the it's so freakin' cute the orange and white cone with the Santa Hat on it,,,
	11:14am Mike East: ...sometimes the good guys lose. good morning, Modern World.
	11:16am Tome: ...^&Seasons greetings to you too Faye !
	11:19am Chris from DC: Haven't been that into Karen Dalton, but that's a cool song.
	11:20am sugarwolf: Trouble, look up Un Jour Un Destin Francoise Hardy on YouTube. Lots of screen time of their lovely son, heh heh. No scenes of Dutronc's five million cats though.
	11:21am KP: Merry Merry from Va.
	11:31am Ken From Hyde Park: What luck, "The Fight Before Christmas" is available on demand for free from my cable company. Moses is about to clobber one of the bad guys right now. Our Christmas Eve tradition is to watch Bud Spencer & Terence Hill movies.
	11:39am bbbbbbb b b b b: what is this x-mas in vietnam record you were talking about earlier, trouble? i'm very curious to hear it and couldn't find it in the archives.
	11:47am Mike Sin: Merry Xmas to Trouble and folks! re: Johnny and Jon- Christmas In Viet Nam: youtu.be...
	11:47am Trouble: @bbbbbbb...wow! looks like i haven't played it in years, shocking! wfmu.org...
	11:51am sugarwolf: Trying to decided if I can knit one final thing tonight...
	11:52am Peter (Seattle): Merry Xmas Eve Trouble and all the troubled listeners out there, it's also my 22nd anniversary today! Here's to love in all the right places! Love the Eastern Blue Jay drawing!
	11:53am bbbbbbb b b b b: Thanks so much!!! I only went back to 2010 and figured it just wasn't listed!
	11:53am Patrick: Trouble, thank you for the secular tunes this morning!!! give everyone a hug from Emily and I! Happy Happy!!
	11:54am Trouble: happy love to you, peter!! merry merry and happy happy all! safe and warm weeks see you in 2014! many thanks for all the magic in 2013!~~
	11:54am common: I agree, that's a great bird drawing.
	11:58am Peter (Seattle): looking fwd to listening to the Loretta Lynn tune in archive! Turned the middle schoolers on to the lonesome christmas song from FMU last week in classes. They were surprised they liked them! All good energy for your creative pursuits in the new year!
	12:11pm van: thanks for the show trouble!

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from December 24, 2013

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.

	10:46am bbbbbbb b b b b: lol, lovecraft
	10:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...up here in my NewHampshuh town just over from Dartmouth, the Crows are Roosting as they do every few years it seems: masses of them cawing all hours & pooping messy smelly poop...A bit Hitchcock if you exit work in the dark evening & there's no one but you & hundered of Crows in a tree in the Church opposite...
	10:48am LovecraftDude888: I was frustrated could barely have time to connect here the past month, I had to escape awful apt. slime complex as I spoke of last time I was on. Oh it sucked! Now I'm in like, a real apt. what a concept. Also watched Little Odessa as my customary ANTI CHRISTMAS film! Tim Roth fest.
	10:52am Rob W: Lovely song by the Udaipur choral group. Katie and I are going to be in Udaipur in February! Didn't know about Christianity's presence there (especially as Rajasthan is expected to shift toward Hindu Nationalism unfortunately in upcoming Indian elections) - will have to check into that. And when we were in Buenos Aires last month we met the son of Juana Molina's manager! Trouble, you're playing a very psychic set right now (for Katie and me anyway). Although - can't think of any connection to Brian Harnetty. Wait = we're in Detroit, and it's winter! (There's even snow on the ground here.) Katie has performed with James McNew of Dump (when he was briefly in Special Pillow). But I think the chain definitely ends (ironically) at The Daisy Chain. Thanks for the channeling Trouble and Good Christmas to you and Andy and DJ Icepack and all of you dear listeners in radioland!
	10:53am bbbbbbb b b b b: I have a brother who might appreciate that sort of tradition too, actually! Any suggested resources I might relay to my dear ten year old brother to get him in the anti-christmas spirit?
	10:54am Bill W: I am feeling well, and that's no lie Ms Wilcox.
	10:54am duke: @rabbit when I worked in Albany, there was an old armory next to our building. In the winter every evening hundreds of crows would descend to the armory roof and have a crowfest. It was creepy.
	10:54am glenn: Greenwich Mean Time ‏@GreenwichMean It's 12.13pm. No mince pies for you, your arse is already the size of a garden shed
	10:55am Stanley: @Sem Chumbo - Grandfather has to keep the 'Christmas Haggis' down his underpants until midnight then he whips it out to the delight and screams of the family and then everyone runs out to the tune of Donald where's yer troosers and throws him into the loch breaking the ice beforehand, if necessary.
	10:55am the glowing one: I knew that song from somewhere... a past life maybe... before the nuclear war with the chinese
	10:59am Adrian in London: Ooh, that threw me: this Françoise track used to be the ringtone on my old phone!
