	9:10am Guido from Cologne: hello trouble new spring: good idea
	9:11am DreamCricket: G'morning Trouble!
	9:12am Sr.Blanco: Hola Trouble! great start, so elegant.
	9:15am doctorjazz: What a great set so far (up to the Muddy Waters). Good morning all!
	9:15am βrian: Preëmptive snow day on the Isthmus today. Working from home under the close supervision of my cat.
	9:16am pierre: Muddy Waters is not my favorite blues singer, but this song satisfy me
	9:19am common: good day!
	9:19am glenn: i think there are howlin' wolf people and muddy waters people. i'm in the wolf camp.
	9:20am sphere: i agree glenn, and i'm definitely with you on this one.
	9:21am DreamCricket: Yoooow!
	9:21am annie: if i had to choose it'd be the muddy waters
	9:21am chromaphone: I disagree that that is the case glenn and I also don't agree with the Lennon/McCartney thing that people talk about either!
	9:22am glenn: but i really like muddy waters folksinger record, withe him and buddy guy on acoustic guitars.
	9:22am Uncle Michael: I disagree with everyone...for sport.
	9:24am hoeg: /me falls over
	9:25am testingwithfire: good morning Trouble and troublines. everything we do gotta be funky!
	9:26am bobdoesthings: good morning trouble and all.
	9:26am DreamCricket: Buggin me out haha
	9:26am northguineahills: /rupture did a remix of boom bip remixing this fourtet.
	9:32am doctorjazz: @glenn, all I can say on the Howlin'/Muddy issue, "porque no los dos!?" :)
	9:34am doctorjazz: (Muddy and Howlin' Wolf bring very different things to the table...is ie Beatles vs Stones? Four Seasons Vs Beach Boys? It's all good!
	9:35am pierre: my favorite blues musician is Leadbelly
	9:36am bobdoesthings: oh is that why it feels like spring today?
	9:37am Ken From Hyde Park: Professor Dum Dum plays Candlemass on his show; a Swedish doom metal band.
	9:37am glenn: scalia not doing it for you anymore, trouble?
	9:39am Trouble: hahaha, weeeeeeping @ glenn
	9:45am Uncle Michael: Good gravy...how I adore Roberta Flack.
	9:49am SeanG: Hey Uncle Michael --really enjoyed your show on Friday. That "Rainbow Ride" song was awesome
	9:52am twist_erella: Awesome set so far, Trouble. Have a good day!
	9:52am Listener Robert: "Dangle Wild" mixed amazingly well with my landlady's sort-of-chanting to her grandchild upstairs. Took me a while to figure that sound was not coming from the speakers.
	9:53am Uncle Michael: Thank you Sean. I'm glad you liked that. I never have any idea how anything will go over.
	9:54am sphere: What Flack did with "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is nothing short of amazing.
	9:55am sugarwolf: I think Imbolc was yesterday. Also St Brigid's day. It's all related!
	9:57am sugarwolf: Trouble last week I bought a Japanese crochet pattern book to make Moomin trolls!!! Unfortunately, it doesn't have the charts that Japanese craft books usually have. Oh well!!
	9:59am Trouble: wow sugarwolf, that book does sound irresistible, charts or no. i looked up imbolc and one source said feb 1, another said feb 2. witches won't mind
	9:59am common: moomins!
	10:02am βrian: Nous sommes tous les oiseaux.
	10:05am Marcel M: I thought of that the other day as well, how the fact that here we just wait and see what happens for a while before we get to vote in the primaries. It would be so different if it was all at once.
	10:05am βrian: Bring your photo ID. (Oh, sorry, no student IDs.)
	10:06am sugarwolf: Phil didn't see his shadow today. I don't know what the Staten Island groundhog saw.
	10:06am bobdoesthings: I never understood why we allow gerrymandering and electoral college votes are not proportionally balanced with population within states..
	10:08am sugarwolf: Apparently my grandma asked my mother when is the presidential election, in two years?? It sure feels like it's been two years already...
	10:08am sphere: gerrymandering allows the dominant party to make sure that they stay in power.
	10:08am Webhamster Henry: Sounds a little like Parks & Recreation!
	10:08am Ike: Smaller states should rotate in 1st place. Iowa and NH wouldn't like it, but f#ck 'em. A national caucus or primary isn't a good idea though, because it would favor wealthier candidates. If you start in a smaller state where marketing is cheaper, smaller candidates have a better chance of getting a leg up.
	10:08am SeanG: smash the system
	10:09am pseydtonne: Today is Candlemas, because that's what gave birth to Groundhog Day.
	10:09am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm a trash picker-upper, too. My feeling is that a person can ignore it, complain about it or do something about it. I try to pick up what I can and improve the environment.
	10:09am listener james from westwood: I was devilishly pleased with the tiny percentage King Christie got in Iowa.
	10:09am Adrian in London: Sorry I'm late; been trying to sort out boxes of CDs; part of me just wants to chuck them out because they're so much clutter but then I keep finding great music on them.
	10:10am βrian: Christie meets the Bridges of Madison County.
	10:11am sphere: keeping up with your music collection is devilishly hard. soon enough you're lost in a sea of sound.
	10:12am βrian: That's why some of us collect vicariously. Some of us weren't born to curate.
	10:12am Polyus: I dunno why, but I just burst out laughing at "America is doomed". Coworkers are used to me doing that, though.
	10:12am JakeGould: The age split in Iowa between Clinton and Sanders stuns me. Pretty much 50/50 between young people and old people. @Trouble: Also, community politics can be the most petty and useless thing. People just whine about trash but then don’t even have real issues. Just spend 5 minutes picking up junk and the problem is solved!
	10:13am little_tommy: enjoying the show, enjoyed Tinariwen! trying to get away from all the political noise...
	10:14am listener james from westwood: Fiorina & Kasich...1.9% Huckabee, Jar Jar Binks, tuberculosis, that one cigarette machine at the Dubuque Hooters you have to jiggle the handle on before it drops Marlboros, and Christie...1.8%
	10:15am Ken From Hyde Park: @JakeGould - Me, too. For 18-24 year olds, Sanders had like 81%, according to entrance polls.
	10:15am listener james from westwood: @JakeGould: I have heard the same description applied to condo board meetings. Facepalm moments aplenty.
	10:16am JakeGould: Betty Woodman’s work is pretty cool. www.salon94.com...
	10:16am steve: i love your on air topical/political chat Trouble!
	10:17am Trouble: thanks @steve!
	10:18am JakeGould: @listenerjamesfromwestwood: Give some people minor power and they go nuts. Have an old friend who just loves to talk about how he loves to go to the condo board meetings to tell people what to do. He’s a a schmuck, but that’s his incredibly pathetic piece of power in the world.
	10:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Ah, cool. WFMU's blast of hot air newsletter arrived in my email. Lots of good stuff on the way, it says.
	10:20am JakeGould: So the big question: Why does Ted Cruz wear two watches? twitter.com...
	10:21am annie: Adrian, all i have left of my somewhat extensive music collection are three CD holders full to the brim, double-packed. i hold on to them thinking some day i might install them SOMEWHERE not itunes. to think of the money i spent on them is another reason i hold on.. no one would want my collection. i don't mind selling them to someone who would appreciate the effort it took to collect them.. but..then.. possessions are transitory. maybe i'll just donate them to fmu.. or not.. oh the mixed feelings i get..
	10:23am Adrian in London: @AnnieI'm pretty good at not hoarding other stuff, mind.
	10:25am listener james from westwood: @JakeGould: Can't think of the exact quote, but Wm. S. Burroughs made a similar point somewhere. A nametag, uniform, or desk seems to activate some tyrannical gene.
	10:26am steve: annie - i donated my complete cd collection to fmu last year and nothing beats the feeling of hearing my cds on the air
	10:28am JakeGould: Back in the late 1990s when MP3s started to become a thing, I began ripping my CDs into MP3s and a few years later, I got rid of them all. I miss the physicality to an extent, but I don’t miss the media itself. I know that’s a bit of sacrilege on WFMU, but honestly for normal folks if you have the choice between MP3 and CD, just go with MP3s. Worried about losing your collection? Just get an extra hard drive for backups.
	10:30am Adrian in London: Ooh, this Lake Ruth track has made me run in from the other room to check it out. It's marvy!
	10:31am Trouble: hah! i knew you would like that adrian!!!
	10:32am Andy M.: With record stores pricing used CDs between $4-$7, I've found it cheaper to purchase older music in a physical format. I burn it onto an iPod and then file the CD as a backup.
	10:33am sphere: the hard part of collecting these days is the price of new LPs. $20-35? ouch.
	10:35am JakeGould: @sphere: Yup. Weird. I respect crate diggers, but I also respect their backs. I tossed my collections of CDs and LPs after moving a few times and realizing that stuff was like 40% of what I was moving.
	10:36am Adrian in London: Still, humping huge heavy boxes of CDs and vinyl is much cheaper than gym membership; you're never more ripped than when you move house!
	10:38am MONEYBAG$: you know how many times I've had to move 27 Jandek albums?
	10:40am JakeGould: @Adrian: I worked in my college bookstore back in the day. Tossing 25 pound boxes of textbooks day after day makes the novelty of a media-type to deliver ideas wear off after a while. I still have books, but I have been doing that KonMari method stuff for years: If I don’t use something or care about something after a while, I toss it in some way. Ether by selling it or donating it somewhere; whatever works.
	10:40am JakeGould: @MONEYBAG$: 0 times?
	10:45am Grok-o-matic: Zombies!!!!
	10:48am annie: i will always love this song
	10:51am Grok-o-matic: woah, weird and interesting Pink Floyd cover.
	10:52am JakeGould: This is a great Pink Floyd cover!
	10:53am MONEYBAG$: 3 or 4 times, but should have been zero
	10:53am the Canterbury wood-elf: Judy was to Fairport Convention what Signe Anderson (who died the same day as Paul Kantner last week) was to the Jefferson Airplane - original member, sang on the first album, then replaced by a more forceful and striking vocalist. I'd read about this Floyd cover, had been looking forward to hearing it.
	10:55am JakeGould: I heard part of the reason Signe Anderson was booted from Jefferson Airplane was her boyfriend at the time was a jerk and would be a pain in the arse to other band members for no reason.
	10:56am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Jake Perhaps he was, but I think the real reason was that she had a baby and didn't want to tour with a young family.
	11:05am Dean: Nope. It's been available on CD for a while. I purchased mine months ago, but listened for the first time two days ago!
	11:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Except LA for some reason. They WILL ticket you for crossing the street.
	11:08am JakeGould: @Trouble: FWIW, in NYC nowadays I am oppositely shocked by how few people know how to—or even engage in—jaywalking anymore. We’re talking about jaywalking small streets at 11:00pm and people wait… In NYC. This is not my city anymore!
	11:09am Rich in Washington: Lux and Ivy's Favorites is up to vol. 17. Maybe more by the time you read this.
	11:10am βrian: We don't jaywalk in Wisconsin, because no such thing exists. It's called crossing the street.
	11:10am Adrian in London: A friend got a job in Geneva a couple of years ago and had, by law, to have six months' worth of canned and dried food in her bomb shelter. It always had to be in date and the authorities had the right to inspect the bomb shelter and take appropriate action if things were not in order. Plus the Swiss get sniffy if you flush your toilet in the early hours or wash your car on a Sunday.
	11:11am JakeGould: @βrian: In Wisconsin I was terrified on my bike once when I saw someone come to a full stop—when they had the light—to let me and my two wheels pass… Right while I could see a car speeding towards them a few blocks away!
	11:12am Dean: Happy Birthday, James Joyce.
	11:13am chromaphone: Anita sounds like Ella.
	11:15am annie: (thanks Dean)
	11:16am bethany: good tunes this morning! thanks
	11:17am JakeGould: I like this “Pop Eye Stroll.”
	11:18am annie: Dean, if you were friends on FB with me, you would have seen this post from open culture of reading of FWake: www.openculture.com...
	11:21am Dean: Shoot. Missed Franz Schubert's birthday, two days ago. For listeners in the Bay Area, Phil Gelb will host a dinner/concert featuring Mark Dresser and Ben Goldberg, April 24, and "it is happening during passover so expect another Jewish themed menu." Phil's productions are pretty spectacular. That's wonderful, annie. I confess I haven't yet traversed FW, but I love Joyce.
	11:22am Adrian in London: @Trouble and everyone: have you read Viv Albertine's autobiog? It's very openly written and is a cracking read. I devoured it in two nights.
	11:25am Trouble: yes adrian, i did! what a character! have you read tracy thorn's auto bio? also a very candid and enjoyable read
	11:26am Trouble: "bedsit disco queen" great title
	11:26am Dean: Bill Bruford's autobiography is good, too, and almost completely devoid of scandalous rock 'n' roll misbehavior.
	11:26am Rich in Washington: Whoooo are the brain poliiiiiice?
	11:28am Dean: Been telling my kids knock-knock jokes lately. My 4YO loves this one: Knock, knock! Who's there? ATCH! ATCH! who? Gesundheit!
	11:30am annie: Dean, i strongly recommend it, especially now that you can hear it bit by bit. it's most lyrical...
	11:31am davefromtoronto: i feel like i'm being tucked in bed by the manson family...
	11:31am Dean: Is that Minutemen's Mike Watt reading the two-minute passage 7?
	11:31am northguineahills: Is there anything Don Cherry couldn't do???
	11:32am Ryan: Nice New Orleans jams back there! Listening in from the Crescent City now.
	11:33am davefromtoronto: knock knock who's there? little old lady... little old lady who? i didn't know you could yodel!
	11:33am Dean: Ooorps. Says it's him right there in the fine print.
	11:35am Dean: Adding that to the repertoire, davefromtoronto. Thank you. Knock, knock! Who's there? Want. Want who? Ah-one-two-three-four!
	11:38am testingwithfire: staple Singers social justice tunes. .. nothing better
	11:39am JakeGould: @Dean: Your child is sophistimicated!
	11:40am Dean: She can sophistimicate with the best of them!
	11:40am Trouble: thanks ryan! hope you are enjoying the music and parades
	11:42am Adrian in London: @Trouble Yes, I have read Tracey's book, and liked it very much.ANd Kim Gordon's Girl in the Band is on my reading pile too. (I was at a gig the other night and Thurston Moore was there. I had no idea he was so tall!)
	11:48am JakeGould: Knock, knock! Who’s there? Dwayne! Dwayne who? Dwayne the bathtub quick! I’m drowning!
	11:48am Uncle Michael: Trouble, I love your show. I'm questioning all of my wasted Tuesday mornings.
	11:49am glenn: wouldn't you be dwowning?
	11:49am Adrian in London: @JakeGould Can't help thinking 'dwowning' would help that joke along a bit
	11:50am Adrian in London: Woah, I had no idea it was the Pointer Sisters who did this!
	11:51am bobdoesthings: this pinball number count is coool! o͡͡͡╮⁞ ^ ▃ ^ ⁞╭o͡͡͡
	11:53am JakeGould: I’m not the one drawing, Dwayne was.
	11:54am Parq: The Blondie cover is adorable. Dug hearing the Pointers, too.
	11:54am Chucktown Dan: Makes me want to dance around in circles yelling random numbers like I did in 74 !!!!
	11:54am davefromtoronto: my kid told me the "dwowning" one this morning!
	11:55am Rich in Washington: @Adrian in London: I was pretty gobsmacked when I learned that fairly recently, too!
	11:56am Rich in Washington: Grace Slick also sang on one Sesame Street segment that I fondly remember.
	11:56am Trouble: thanks uncle michael! see you next week kitties!
	11:56am Dean: Knock, knock! Who's there? The... The who? Don't tell me: yet another final reunion tour?
	11:57am JakeGould: @davefromtoronto: Your kid is stalking my act!
	11:57am Adrian in London: @Trouble Cos I missed the first hour; did you mention what your top-secret mission was last week?
	11:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Killer stuff today, Trouble!
	11:58am bobdoesthings: ໒( ͡ᵔ ▾ ͡ᵔ )७ thank you trouble!! great show as always.
	11:58am glenn: van's great. his material is sometimes lacking, however.
	10:39am Passaic River Blues: The Nina/Jazzem into Fourtet/Boom Bip blend of sound and motif was gorgeous. Trouble is my only friend.

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.

	9:53am Uncle Michael: Thank you Sean. I'm glad you liked that. I never have any idea how anything will go over.
	9:54am sphere: What Flack did with "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" is nothing short of amazing.
	9:55am sugarwolf: I think Imbolc was yesterday. Also St Brigid's day. It's all related!
	9:57am sugarwolf: Trouble last week I bought a Japanese crochet pattern book to make Moomin trolls!!! Unfortunately, it doesn't have the charts that Japanese craft books usually have. Oh well!!
	9:59am Trouble: wow sugarwolf, that book does sound irresistible, charts or no. i looked up imbolc and one source said feb 1, another said feb 2. witches won't mind
	9:59am common: moomins!
	10:02am βrian: Nous sommes tous les oiseaux.
	10:05am Marcel M: I thought of that the other day as well, how the fact that here we just wait and see what happens for a while before we get to vote in the primaries. It would be so different if it was all at once.
	10:05am βrian: Bring your photo ID. (Oh, sorry, no student IDs.)
	10:06am sugarwolf: Phil didn't see his shadow today. I don't know what the Staten Island groundhog saw.
	10:06am bobdoesthings: I never understood why we allow gerrymandering and electoral college votes are not proportionally balanced with population within states..
	10:08am sugarwolf: Apparently my grandma asked my mother when is the presidential election, in two years?? It sure feels like it's been two years already...
	10:08am sphere: gerrymandering allows the dominant party to make sure that they stay in power.
	10:08am Webhamster Henry: Sounds a little like Parks & Recreation!
	10:08am Ike: Smaller states should rotate in 1st place. Iowa and NH wouldn't like it, but f#ck 'em. A national caucus or primary isn't a good idea though, because it would favor wealthier candidates. If you start in a smaller state where marketing is cheaper, smaller candidates have a better chance of getting a leg up.
	10:08am SeanG: smash the system
	10:09am pseydtonne: Today is Candlemas, because that's what gave birth to Groundhog Day.
	10:09am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm a trash picker-upper, too. My feeling is that a person can ignore it, complain about it or do something about it. I try to pick up what I can and improve the environment.
	10:09am listener james from westwood: I was devilishly pleased with the tiny percentage King Christie got in Iowa.
	10:09am Adrian in London: Sorry I'm late; been trying to sort out boxes of CDs; part of me just wants to chuck them out because they're so much clutter but then I keep finding great music on them.
	10:10am βrian: Christie meets the Bridges of Madison County.
	10:11am sphere: keeping up with your music collection is devilishly hard. soon enough you're lost in a sea of sound.
	10:12am βrian: That's why some of us collect vicariously. Some of us weren't born to curate.
	10:12am Polyus: I dunno why, but I just burst out laughing at "America is doomed". Coworkers are used to me doing that, though.
	10:12am JakeGould: The age split in Iowa between Clinton and Sanders stuns me. Pretty much 50/50 between young people and old people. @Trouble: Also, community politics can be the most petty and useless thing. People just whine about trash but then don’t even have real issues. Just spend 5 minutes picking up junk and the problem is solved!
	10:13am little_tommy: enjoying the show, enjoyed Tinariwen! trying to get away from all the political noise...
	10:14am listener james from westwood: Fiorina & Kasich...1.9% Huckabee, Jar Jar Binks, tuberculosis, that one cigarette machine at the Dubuque Hooters you have to jiggle the handle on before it drops Marlboros, and Christie...1.8%
	10:15am Ken From Hyde Park: @JakeGould - Me, too. For 18-24 year olds, Sanders had like 81%, according to entrance polls.
	10:15am listener james from westwood: @JakeGould: I have heard the same description applied to condo board meetings. Facepalm moments aplenty.
	10:16am JakeGould: Betty Woodman’s work is pretty cool. www.salon94.com...
	10:16am steve: i love your on air topical/political chat Trouble!
	10:17am Trouble: thanks @steve!
	10:18am JakeGould: @listenerjamesfromwestwood: Give some people minor power and they go nuts. Have an old friend who just loves to talk about how he loves to go to the condo board meetings to tell people what to do. He’s a a schmuck, but that’s his incredibly pathetic piece of power in the world.
	10:18am Ken From Hyde Park: Ah, cool. WFMU's blast of hot air newsletter arrived in my email. Lots of good stuff on the way, it says.
	10:20am JakeGould: So the big question: Why does Ted Cruz wear two watches? twitter.com...
	10:21am annie: Adrian, all i have left of my somewhat extensive music collection are three CD holders full to the brim, double-packed. i hold on to them thinking some day i might install them SOMEWHERE not itunes. to think of the money i spent on them is another reason i hold on.. no one would want my collection. i don't mind selling them to someone who would appreciate the effort it took to collect them.. but..then.. possessions are transitory. maybe i'll just donate them to fmu.. or not.. oh the mixed feelings i get..
	10:23am Adrian in London: @AnnieI'm pretty good at not hoarding other stuff, mind.
	10:25am listener james from westwood: @JakeGould: Can't think of the exact quote, but Wm. S. Burroughs made a similar point somewhere. A nametag, uniform, or desk seems to activate some tyrannical gene.
	10:26am steve: annie - i donated my complete cd collection to fmu last year and nothing beats the feeling of hearing my cds on the air
	10:28am JakeGould: Back in the late 1990s when MP3s started to become a thing, I began ripping my CDs into MP3s and a few years later, I got rid of them all. I miss the physicality to an extent, but I don’t miss the media itself. I know that’s a bit of sacrilege on WFMU, but honestly for normal folks if you have the choice between MP3 and CD, just go with MP3s. Worried about losing your collection? Just get an extra hard drive for backups.
	10:30am Adrian in London: Ooh, this Lake Ruth track has made me run in from the other room to check it out. It's marvy!
	10:31am Trouble: hah! i knew you would like that adrian!!!
	10:32am Andy M.: With record stores pricing used CDs between $4-$7, I've found it cheaper to purchase older music in a physical format. I burn it onto an iPod and then file the CD as a backup.
	10:33am sphere: the hard part of collecting these days is the price of new LPs. $20-35? ouch.
	10:35am JakeGould: @sphere: Yup. Weird. I respect crate diggers, but I also respect their backs. I tossed my collections of CDs and LPs after moving a few times and realizing that stuff was like 40% of what I was moving.
	10:36am Adrian in London: Still, humping huge heavy boxes of CDs and vinyl is much cheaper than gym membership; you're never more ripped than when you move house!
	10:38am MONEYBAG$: you know how many times I've had to move 27 Jandek albums?
	10:40am JakeGould: @Adrian: I worked in my college bookstore back in the day. Tossing 25 pound boxes of textbooks day after day makes the novelty of a media-type to deliver ideas wear off after a while. I still have books, but I have been doing that KonMari method stuff for years: If I don’t use something or care about something after a while, I toss it in some way. Ether by selling it or donating it somewhere; whatever works.
	10:40am JakeGould: @MONEYBAG$: 0 times?
	10:45am Grok-o-matic: Zombies!!!!
	10:48am annie: i will always love this song
	10:51am Grok-o-matic: woah, weird and interesting Pink Floyd cover.
	10:52am JakeGould: This is a great Pink Floyd cover!
	10:53am MONEYBAG$: 3 or 4 times, but should have been zero
	10:53am the Canterbury wood-elf: Judy was to Fairport Convention what Signe Anderson (who died the same day as Paul Kantner last week) was to the Jefferson Airplane - original member, sang on the first album, then replaced by a more forceful and striking vocalist. I'd read about this Floyd cover, had been looking forward to hearing it.
	10:55am JakeGould: I heard part of the reason Signe Anderson was booted from Jefferson Airplane was her boyfriend at the time was a jerk and would be a pain in the arse to other band members for no reason.
	10:56am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Jake Perhaps he was, but I think the real reason was that she had a baby and didn't want to tour with a young family.
	11:05am Dean: Nope. It's been available on CD for a while. I purchased mine months ago, but listened for the first time two days ago!
	11:08am Greg from ZONE 5: Except LA for some reason. They WILL ticket you for crossing the street.
	11:08am JakeGould: @Trouble: FWIW, in NYC nowadays I am oppositely shocked by how few people know how to—or even engage in—jaywalking anymore. We’re talking about jaywalking small streets at 11:00pm and people wait… In NYC. This is not my city anymore!
	11:09am Rich in Washington: Lux and Ivy's Favorites is up to vol. 17. Maybe more by the time you read this.
	11:10am βrian: We don't jaywalk in Wisconsin, because no such thing exists. It's called crossing the street.
	11:10am Adrian in London: A friend got a job in Geneva a couple of years ago and had, by law, to have six months' worth of canned and dried food in her bomb shelter. It always had to be in date and the authorities had the right to inspect the bomb shelter and take appropriate action if things were not in order. Plus the Swiss get sniffy if you flush your toilet in the early hours or wash your car on a Sunday.
	11:11am JakeGould: @βrian: In Wisconsin I was terrified on my bike once when I saw someone come to a full stop—when they had the light—to let me and my two wheels pass… Right while I could see a car speeding towards them a few blocks away!
	11:12am Dean: Happy Birthday, James Joyce.
	11:13am chromaphone: Anita sounds like Ella.
	11:15am annie: (thanks Dean)
	11:16am bethany: good tunes this morning! thanks
	11:17am JakeGould: I like this “Pop Eye Stroll.”
	11:18am annie: Dean, if you were friends on FB with me, you would have seen this post from open culture of reading of FWake: www.openculture.com...
	11:21am Dean: Shoot. Missed Franz Schubert's birthday, two days ago. For listeners in the Bay Area, Phil Gelb will host a dinner/concert featuring Mark Dresser and Ben Goldberg, April 24, and "it is happening during passover so expect another Jewish themed menu." Phil's productions are pretty spectacular. That's wonderful, annie. I confess I haven't yet traversed FW, but I love Joyce.
	11:22am Adrian in London: @Trouble and everyone: have you read Viv Albertine's autobiog? It's very openly written and is a cracking read. I devoured it in two nights.
	11:25am Trouble: yes adrian, i did! what a character! have you read tracy thorn's auto bio? also a very candid and enjoyable read
	11:26am Trouble: "bedsit disco queen" great title
	11:26am Dean: Bill Bruford's autobiography is good, too, and almost completely devoid of scandalous rock 'n' roll misbehavior.
	11:26am Rich in Washington: Whoooo are the brain poliiiiiice?
	11:28am Dean: Been telling my kids knock-knock jokes lately. My 4YO loves this one: Knock, knock! Who's there? ATCH! ATCH! who? Gesundheit!
	11:30am annie: Dean, i strongly recommend it, especially now that you can hear it bit by bit. it's most lyrical...
	11:31am davefromtoronto: i feel like i'm being tucked in bed by the manson family...
	11:31am Dean: Is that Minutemen's Mike Watt reading the two-minute passage 7?
	11:31am northguineahills: Is there anything Don Cherry couldn't do???
	11:32am Ryan: Nice New Orleans jams back there! Listening in from the Crescent City now.
	11:33am davefromtoronto: knock knock who's there? little old lady... little old lady who? i didn't know you could yodel!
	11:33am Dean: Ooorps. Says it's him right there in the fine print.
	11:35am Dean: Adding that to the repertoire, davefromtoronto. Thank you. Knock, knock! Who's there? Want. Want who? Ah-one-two-three-four!
	11:38am testingwithfire: staple Singers social justice tunes. .. nothing better
	11:39am JakeGould: @Dean: Your child is sophistimicated!
	11:40am Dean: She can sophistimicate with the best of them!
	11:40am Trouble: thanks ryan! hope you are enjoying the music and parades
	11:42am Adrian in London: @Trouble Yes, I have read Tracey's book, and liked it very much.ANd Kim Gordon's Girl in the Band is on my reading pile too. (I was at a gig the other night and Thurston Moore was there. I had no idea he was so tall!)
	11:48am JakeGould: Knock, knock! Who’s there? Dwayne! Dwayne who? Dwayne the bathtub quick! I’m drowning!
	11:48am Uncle Michael: Trouble, I love your show. I'm questioning all of my wasted Tuesday mornings.
	11:49am glenn: wouldn't you be dwowning?
	11:49am Adrian in London: @JakeGould Can't help thinking 'dwowning' would help that joke along a bit
	11:50am Adrian in London: Woah, I had no idea it was the Pointer Sisters who did this!
	11:51am bobdoesthings: this pinball number count is coool! o͡͡͡╮⁞ ^ ▃ ^ ⁞╭o͡͡͡
	11:53am JakeGould: I’m not the one drawing, Dwayne was.
	11:54am Parq: The Blondie cover is adorable. Dug hearing the Pointers, too.
	11:54am Chucktown Dan: Makes me want to dance around in circles yelling random numbers like I did in 74 !!!!
	11:54am davefromtoronto: my kid told me the "dwowning" one this morning!
	11:55am Rich in Washington: @Adrian in London: I was pretty gobsmacked when I learned that fairly recently, too!
	11:56am Rich in Washington: Grace Slick also sang on one Sesame Street segment that I fondly remember.
	11:56am Trouble: thanks uncle michael! see you next week kitties!
	11:56am Dean: Knock, knock! Who's there? The... The who? Don't tell me: yet another final reunion tour?
	11:57am JakeGould: @davefromtoronto: Your kid is stalking my act!
	11:57am Adrian in London: @Trouble Cos I missed the first hour; did you mention what your top-secret mission was last week?
	11:57am Greg from ZONE 5: Killer stuff today, Trouble!
	11:58am bobdoesthings: ໒( ͡ᵔ ▾ ͡ᵔ )७ thank you trouble!! great show as always.
	11:58am glenn: van's great. his material is sometimes lacking, however.
	10:39am Passaic River Blues: The Nina/Jazzem into Fourtet/Boom Bip blend of sound and motif was gorgeous. Trouble is my only friend.
