WFMU: This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from May 10, 2016

Listener comments!
	9:03am Trouble: good morning sunshine! today's artwork is by the wonderful Arlene Shechet.
	9:03am Dave in Vermont: Thank you in advance for helping me get through this essay this morning.
	9:04am pantz: Good morning, Trouble.
	9:06am Dave in Vermont: Today's image reminds me of Brazil (the film) and THX-1138.
	9:07am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble. Damp, miserable and clammy over here. And that's just me.
	9:07am annie: good morning trouble!
	9:08am Brian in UK: @Dave do you remember in American Graffiti the number plate of cool Paul Le Mat's car was THX 138.
	9:08am Sem Chumbo: Ceramicists, in my experience, a frequently very witty people. Bom dia, Problema, and all who seeks music and French ornithologist explainers. And then there would be BiUK. Hullo to you.
	9:09am specksnyder: morning, trouble. morniing friends.
	9:09am Dave in Vermont: @Brian, I did not realize that. Thanks for mentioning it.
	9:09am Sem Chumbo: looks like I need typing AND grammar tutelage
	9:10am Brian in UK: Hey Sem. Tatas are in the ground at last.
	9:13am sphere: good morning T and T-folk. :)
	9:13am Sem Chumbo: Well done, Brian. Thanks to several recent very high tides, I have totally recovered my potato bed w/ rockweed and will plant within the week.
	9:14am Davis: @Brian. there used to be a single decker bus in leeds with the number plate, THX113S. i used to find this wildly weird
	9:14am Adrian in London: Gahh, missed Tindersticks! Never mind. Ooh, here they are again! Thanks Trouble!
	9:15am Brian in UK: Sem nearly had a bad experience yesterday when a split pin (whoever uses them anymore) broke on the cultivator (tiller to you) gear change; could not disengage gear. T'was nearly a horrible ending.
	9:15am melinda: Good morning! What a treat tuning in to this tindersticks.
	9:17am Brian in UK: @Davis that was when the 'S' was at the end. Love it. Guess there was no conductor.
	9:18am Adrian in London: Tindersticks are on tour around Europe at the moment, playing to short films they had made for the songs on their last LP. They were great the other week. Worth catching them if you;re on the continent over the next couple of months.
	9:19am Brian in UK: @Sem is it true that the Bay of Fundy has one of the greatest high to low tides in the world?
	9:21am famous original sugarwolf: Did you see the KLF last night?
	9:22am milkman: I still think about the time you played the Ta-Nehisi Coates excerpt a couple months ago
	9:23am Sam: I guess having lunch at 10 am is very classy
	9:23am specksnyder: Quite an ethereal and joyous set this morning. Nice.
	9:25am OTB: Lovely music for a very lousy day. Thanks, Trouble!
	9:25am Trouble: @milkman- listen to ta-nehesi coates reading his book, you will be forever changed
	9:26am Sem Chumbo: Brian, along with parts of Biscay Bay, Inchon, Korea (part of the genius of Douglas MacArthur's landing there during the Korean Conflict was that nobody ever considered defending against that, deeming it impossible), the Bay of Fundy has 50 foot+ tides, at the head of the Bay. Where I live it is ~28 feet median. Glad you still have all your extremities intact.
	9:27am katie: Wow. Haven't heard Lilac Time for ages. and just in time for lilacs.
	9:30am Sam: I like this set! From St. Etienne to St. Germain with a swing through the lilacs.
	9:31am Brian in UK: Wisteria should be showing itself very soon. There was a song of that title on Dan Fogelberg's first album. A delightful record.
	9:31am Marcel M: Love tuning in to dub. Morning all.
	9:34am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	9:35am riley: Good morning, sisters and saints and a lovely wakeup set!
	9:35am ausmanx: we (very few) listeners in the southern hemisphere quickly tire of your exclusionary northern seasonal obsessions, you know...
	9:37am Ken From Hyde Park: "Don't jump, little figurine! Don't give up hope!"
	9:38am specksnyder: @kenfromyhdepark--I think it's standing on milk crates, so it's not that high.
	9:40am geegee vindaloo: The Power of the Sy archive.digtriad.com...
	9:41am bobdoesthings: I use to enjoyed my "Art writing" class in college.. it should be called "filler/fluff language and BS'ing 101"
	9:42am specksnyder: I've thought about teaching a class at my college called "Academic/Adminspeak: Writing as Obfuscation."
	9:43am milkman: @trouble the small bit you played made me cry so I have to really prepare myself
	9:43am bobdoesthings: *thesauras required
	9:44am bobdoesthings: *thesauras required
	9:44am fred: The director where I work is a native speaker of that language. A coworker has the unenviable task of translating his prose to English
	9:45am Trouble: @milkman. you fall in love with him, he doesn't kill you all the time, just sometimes.
	9:46am fred: @specksnyder: There's even already a theme song for that class: The Nihilist Spasm Band's "I have nothing to say"
	9:47am specksnyder: Week one of the class: Acronyms: The Poetry of Letters
	9:48am specksnyder: @fred--perfect! Maybe some Negativland in there too. I'm sure they have something to say about nothing to say as well.
	9:51am owlex: holy smokes, I've been wanting to know where people like us sourced this sample from in her song Ever
	9:52am βrian: Un ciel bas over the isthmus today. Rain, rain, rain. But the tomatoes are in. All is well.
	9:53am βrian: Sourcing samples? Sounds a little louche.
	9:58am Trouble: this is the time of year when i am behind in my gardening. i can't seem to start seeds, it just doesn't work for me. so then mothers day is here and people have blooms and i have nothing. we do need to take the fig out of the basement
	10:00am MD: Goood Morning My Spring Happy Freeform Friends!!!
	10:01am Ken From Hyde Park: I, too, need to get going on my little garden. I actually harvested some edible carrots last season. Tough little buggers survived a dry spell where I didn't water them much at all.
	10:05am Erella: Good morning!
	10:08am Priscilla: Did anyone read the article about Melania Trump in the New Yorker? Just when I thought it couldn't get any more depressing.
	10:08am Trouble: bonjour erella!
	10:08am βrian: We started our seeds at the beginning of March this year, grow lights, oscillating fan, and all — on a setup by a sunny window.
	10:09am Trouble: haven't read the article priscilla but i am scared very scared
	10:09am Erella: Have you seen this link? There's a photo of one of the Au Pairs. It is pretty funny. www.theguardian.com...
	10:09am Priscilla: I bet my husband an ice cream sundae that Trump would lose
	10:11am Marcel M: He wont win Trouble, don't worry. Its good he will be the nominee. Its alllll falling into place.
	10:11am Priscilla: @Erella: and so go our dreams
	10:14am OTB: Claudia!
	10:14am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm starting a rumor that Drumpf is going to select Chris Christy as his running mate and Christy is going to appoint Sarah Palin to take over as governor of New Jersey. That sounds wacky enough to be true!
	10:15am Marcel M: Ken, he just appointed Christie to be the lead of the "transitional team."
	10:15am Marcel M: Which means the dude who is in charge of putting together the post nominee team. I guess.
	10:16am carl junglist: Howdy
	10:16am Sam: The running mate's going to be Putin. It's become an open secret in Washington. Then Russia will be one heartbeat away from taking our entire nuclear arsenal and oil and movie stars, ha ha ha!
	10:16am Marcel M: I was expecting more for Christie from Trump, as was he, probably.
	10:16am Marcel M: @Sam: haha
	10:16am bobdoesthings: Is it possible for a third party candidate to step up outta nowhere.. where's the green party these days?
	10:17am Marcel M: @Bob: I believe it is possible. I think the Clintons had them all killed.
	10:17am bobdoesthings: <-- knows nothing about politics.
	10:17am Sam: The green party = Bernie, practically speaking
	10:17am βrian: We'd gladly give him Scott Walker for whatever. Please be our guest.
	10:19am bobdoesthings: @marcel - what about me?! I could run for president?? Bob for Prez!! Free cheese sticks for all, weed is cool now.. Everyone chill.. Im abolishing centralized currency.. no we all just share and be nice!!
	10:20am specksnyder: @bob--you'd get my vote. Just hope the Clintons don't try to knock you off, too.
	10:20am Marcel M: @Bob: Sure, go for it! But your platform is a little too soft, like Brie, harden up a bit more like parmesan.
	10:21am Sam: The problem is, if we abolish currency, the first thing that will happen is my landlord will evict me. He won't accept cheese sticks.
	10:21am ausmanx: be of good cheer, your election can't be any worse than ours, it's coming up on July 2... at least you guys have a choice. sort of.
	10:21am Erella: It is important to get out and vote when you are given the opportunity.
	10:22am bobdoesthings: ah shit.. this stuff sounds hard. Maybe I'll just form a commune in the woods instead.
	10:22am Marcel M: @Ausmanx: Where you at?
	10:23am ausmanx: we have got some pretty good soft cheeses down on King Island, though... in case you wish to try our parliament, Bob
	10:23am Priscilla: I used to have a button saying "Jobs, not cheese!"
	10:23am Erella: Sam, where are you?
	10:23am βrian: If we abolish currency, we'll be forever out of date. I could live with that, I guess.
	10:23am Sam: Cheeses from islands tend to be soft, from the humidity
	10:23am ausmanx: the (sometimes) dismal big Australasian island, Marcel
	10:24am Sam: Jersey City
	10:24am Whosondephone: Nice segue
	10:26am ausmanx: which is why im watching maoris disembowelling small furry animals at work this evening. all in the name of tradition and conservation
	10:26am Marcel M: Ah! I see Aus... I guess I should have been able to tell from the name! And thanks for keeping the cheese joke going! Work time. Bye friends.
	10:28am Sam: Enjoy your work before Bernie bans it!
	10:32am Brian in UK: Pilates and reading magazines. Ah, the world view.
	10:32am Adrian in London: @Ausmanx I think you need to explain the Maori disembowelling thing. At your work? At theirs? What sort of animals?
	10:34am Dave in Vermont: I've been watching the BBC/Hulu show called In The Flesh in which zombies are "cured" and the repercussions of being assimilated back into the community after "the rising" are explored. @Brian, Somehow your comment on Bernie banning work made me think of that but not in a straight line way I am willing to try to articulate right now.
	10:36am ausmanx: a series called HUNTING AOTEAROA. they just drive around killing anything that moves, then show you how to pluck, skin, carve and cook it all. Sarah Palin would make a good special guest. it's in Maori, so i'm doing the subtitles. i'm starting to find it a bit relentless, having just commenced episode 13! last episode was a swan cull
	10:36am Priscilla: @ausmanx OMG
	10:37am Polyus: obligatory "wow, this is Eric Carmen?" post
	10:39am Brian in UK: Chuck Berry for Pres.
	10:39am medicalfools: Lol that song ruled
	10:39am ausmanx: yes, i fear some of the editors here with less strong constitutions would not be happy working on this one. the host is very engaging though! oh, and this is series 9, so i am imagining the tally of corpses which has built up over the course of the filming...
	10:39am Adrian in London: @Ausmanx Hmm, just looked at the website. "Presented by former All Black and avid pig hunter"… How do you know Maori anyway to translate it? Not a common language on the Isle of Man, Id' have thought. Or are you just making it up?! "Let's kill the goose!" etc.
	10:40am sphere: this Elton John cover is awesome. i couldnt dream that someone could get away with it.
	10:40am Brian in UK: The KLF did a song called "Kylie said to Jason" if memory serves.
	10:42am medicalfools: Wow I want to quit my job and go home and play Benny and the jets on guitar all day
	10:42am Tome: , nice show Alive and Kicking
	10:42am Brian in UK: The guy who started Neighbours passed away the other day.
	10:43am ron in S FL: Yes, I LOVE this!
	10:43am Brian in UK: This sounds like Benny from Crossroads.
	10:44am Davis: yikes, Cartoon Head
	10:44am ausmanx: my maori vocabulary is coming on apace, adrian. but no, we have a translator to do the heavy lifting, i just edit. i suspect Trouble's comments board is not quite the right place to bring it up; it would perhaps be more appropriate with someone like Mr McSorley! and yes, Brian, that was Reg Grundy... bizarrely, his daughter used to work in this place with me as an editor! she was, ahem, eccentric
	10:44am ausmanx: and just generally speaking, S and C's Wedding are a wonderful band...
	10:47am Adrian in London: Ah thanks. I love the subjects Trouble's comments board throws up. I was going to talk about tame crows but I'll save that for another time!
	10:48am Tome: Reg Grundy RIP 》 bbc.in/1ZB7dmV
	10:49am Trouble: it was a pretty good cover, but not as swell as biz markie's benny
	10:51am Trouble: i heard a talk show yesterday where the woman rehabilitated humming birds. she had written a book about her experiences, it was kinda fascinating and very new age. she talked a lot about their emotional abilities...
	10:52am Davis: Adrian. bloke at turnpike lane has a crow on his head at all times... and a fairy lighted dog...
	10:53am βrian: Which reminds me, it's time to get out the humming bird feeder.
	10:55am Adrian in London: @Davis There's a bloke in Sutton known as The Wizard who has a cat on his shoulder and a dog at his heels. He dressed like, well, a wizard, all flowing robes, and carries a staff. And there's a chap near me who wakes his pet parrot for some fresh air, sitting on his shoulder. Beautiful read and green feathers.
	10:59am Trouble: there was a time in my musical life where i would NEVER have played a song with a prominent flute ( thank you jethro tull). Now i like bobbi humphrey, what is happening to me???
	11:01am PKNY: @Trouble - glad to see Bobbi broke down your flute prejudice! Maybe you just like jazz/funk fluting, and not rock fluting.
	11:02am βrian: I once waited on James Galway. Still not a big flute fan.
	11:02am Brian in UK: Trouble back to planting again. Jethro Tull invented the seed drill.
	11:03am Trouble: locomotive breath is a superb song, but they did kill the flute for me, too much of a flute thing
	11:03am βrian: @BUK: What all are you planting?
	11:04am βrian: A triple espresso is my portal to locomotive breath.
	11:06am PKNY: The P-Funk All-Stars did a live version of "Maggot Brain" with Maceo Parker starting off with a flute solo that was pretty nice --> www.youtube.com...
	11:06am Brian in UK: Jeremy Steig next? @βrian Potatoes, onions, broad beans, cabbages, lettuces (various) tomatoes, courgettes, spring onions and ofcourse self seeding weeds.
	11:08am Brian in UK: ....and some soft fruits if the nets go up in time to keep the birds away.
	11:09am Ike: Penultimate or just ultimate?
	11:09am Michael: Agree Trouble: Porches in North Adams is pretty neat. And right across the street from MassMoca.
	11:11am mariano: Wow, haven't heard any Etienne Daho for years, sorry I missed it.
	11:14am Priscilla: It's a really cool pot!
	11:14am Playing with Matches: Here's the link! http://hyperallergic.com/296905/antiques-roadshow-mistakenly-values-high-school-art-project-at-50000
	11:15am emily: am listening surreptitiously to your show. last morning in this class. students have left the building (or almost all have left my classroom after final critique). nice to hear you live, trouble! must get to archives cuz i've missed you so!
	11:16am Trouble: ike damn you, you are always right and i am always wrong. thankfully i am a buddhist and know that change is constant
	11:17am rw: Looks as good as anything selling for $50,000 these days to me.
	11:17am kevlicki: Trouble who's material does the beyonce film infer? And let's be realistic there were hundreds of people that maintain the cruise liner known as Beyonce. Also, i enjoyes the Hill Out Of Lemonade on my girar, and only, viewing. It's a well produced album, duh
	11:18am billy: This average white boy must defend J Tull - try their first 2 albums This Was and Stand Up.
	11:18am emily: love the jug head!
	11:18am Ike: Only bad copyeditors think that they are always right. I sure hope I'm not one of those.
	11:19am Trouble: bonjour emily!!
	11:19am mariano: Where's the Hyperallergic article on Lemonade, or did I misunderstand? I've put in various search terms but nothing comes up...
	11:19am βrian: I was an adult before I discovered that zucchinis (courgettes) are wonderful if not overcooked. Still, I mainly live for tomatoes.
	11:20am geezerette: True about Beyonce. Pipilotti Rist infinitely better. Love that you mention things like that! Roadshow charges $$$ admission,total fraud!
	11:21am Trouble: @kevlicki: infer is a nice form, but stealing is more like it: pippilotti rist and julie dash. here is one comment www.scoopnest.com...
	11:22am Trouble: julie dash daugheters of the dust www.nytimes.com...
	11:24am fred: It looks like the Pipilotti Rist reference is a bit of a stretch, it's a bat, not a flower (Ever is over all is a wonderful video). Her copy of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's Rosas Danst Rosas was blatant (and uncredited as well)
	11:27am kevlicki: Trouble and geezerette Thanks for the info, I'll def check her out!
	11:28am fred: thank you for the set Trouble!
	11:29am mariano: Thanks for the links Trouble!
	11:29am kevlicki: In bummer news Other Music will close soon http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/10/arts/music/other-music-record-store-closing.html Music sales are down and NYC rents are up
	11:30am Trouble: i heard @kevlicki, that is a part of my life closing up, sad
	11:31am geezerette: First time I've heard this show. Total delight! Thanks for the trouble,Trouble!
	11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: I am voting "Yes" on whatever proposition this Hourglass track is associated with.
	11:34am Adrian in London: @Fred Saw a doc about dance on BBC4 the other week when De Keersmaeker said she found out about Beyonce using her dance so instead of taking the legal route released an instructional video showing people how to dance it. The result was squillions of girls making their own versions and posting them online, so it had a strange new lease of life.
	11:34am Erella: Welcome Geezerrette
	11:35am Trouble: merci, geezerette and fred
	11:36am geezerette: High five Erella! Are we related? :D
	11:36am Brian in UK: Trouble, love the less than chucklesome music. Got me though the ironing. What else to do on a wet Tuesday afternoon.
	11:36am Trouble: that is a great story adrian!
	11:37am fred: @Adrian: www.rosasdanstrosas.be... She has also had open performances where she asks people to come and dance it.
	11:37am franny: I really need an all sitar show on this station. This is the closest to the dream. I may get.
	11:38am βrian: @franny: You have my vote.
	11:41am franny: This is kind of the age of sitar...not really albums. Or mp3s.
	11:42am Ken From Hyde Park: @franny - DJ Bryce had an all-raga show several weeks ago. www.wfmu.org...
	11:42am Brian in UK: Are there any non-commercial by that I mean advertising-free TV stations in the US?
	11:43am franny: @Ken - I'm on it.
	11:45am geezerette: www.luhringaugustine.com... active link to Pipilotti Rist. A little gift to those interested.
	11:45am fred: @Brian UK, is there anything commercial free in the US?
	11:45am Trouble: merci, brian in UK. re: TV> we have public stations like PBS but you will see ads to underwrite the shows. not during the prgrams but at the end or beginning, yes. WKCR out of columbia university does a raga show on sunday nights. they stream so you can tune them in all over the world.
	11:45am cklequ: @franny Try digging through his archives too, franny. I'm pretty sure he's done it more than a few times.
	11:46am Mike East: @Brian - Public Television advertises for itself and its corporate underwriters, but that's it. Other than that, it would be the premium channels (HBO, Showtime, etc) that don't have commercials, but cost extra money.
	11:46am cklequ: Didn't mean to repeat your name there.......
	11:48am geezerette: This Raga is making me so happy!
	11:48am Michael 98145: @Brian, this is interesting if you like: www.cpb.org...
	11:51am JakeGould: FWIW, I initially heard about the Beyoncé/Pipilotti Rist comparison from Jerry Saltz Instagram. www.instagram.com...
	11:54am Dave in Vermont: @Brian there is also public access or cable access which generally has local community oriented/produced programming. Like city council meetings or shows by the weird person down the street from hosting a call-in shows to talking about conspiracies or the power pf prayer or whatever they can think of that they just need to put out there.
	11:54am Kevlicki: Adrian in UK I like that story. a way more creative response than litigiousness
	11:54am Brian in UK: @Michael98145 Thanks will check it later. @Fred a bit confused did you mean UK? If so YES, THE BBC, THAT THIS PRESENT GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO WASTE AS IT IS IN LEAGUE WITH JERRY JAGGER'S NEW AMOUR. OH SORRY SHE WAS NEVER MARRIED TO JAGGER.
	11:56am Erella: This article is interesting about Eno and Anne De Keersmaeker and their collaboration. www.theguardian.com...
	11:56am Ike: @Brian in UK, people are mentioning PBS but the missing context is that compared to other state-funded broadcasters, PBS is incredibly anemic and has virtually no original comedy or drama programming of its own, just recycled BBC stuff mostly. It's also known for children's shows like Sesame Street (cheaper to produce, I'd wager) but now the first-runs of that have gone over to HBO.
	11:57am Trouble: cheerio, thanks for listening
	11:57am Rev. Turnip Druid: Very rarely able to comment these days, but belated thanks for the Robert Crouch, earlier. Ideal walking-commute sounds.
	11:58am Brian in UK: Thanks for the feedback. From a quick look, not a great deal. PBS seems to get a bad press on this station.
	11:58am Adrian in London: Lovely show today Trouble, as always.
	11:58am geezerette: @Ike: Newt Gingrich & crew gutted PBS in the 90s under Clinton.
	11:59am JakeGould: PBS is not that great anymore. Very whitbread. NPR as well. Whitbread nonsense.
	11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: I watch PBS for scientific or investigative programming. Not interested in their entertainment offerings. Have a lovely week, Trouble. Don't forget your gardening tasks!
	11:59am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from May 10, 2016

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.

Listener comments!
	9:03am Trouble: good morning sunshine! today's artwork is by the wonderful Arlene Shechet.
	9:03am Dave in Vermont: Thank you in advance for helping me get through this essay this morning.
	9:04am pantz: Good morning, Trouble.
	9:06am Dave in Vermont: Today's image reminds me of Brazil (the film) and THX-1138.
	9:07am Brian in UK: Hello Trouble. Damp, miserable and clammy over here. And that's just me.
	9:07am annie: good morning trouble!
	9:08am Brian in UK: @Dave do you remember in American Graffiti the number plate of cool Paul Le Mat's car was THX 138.
	9:08am Sem Chumbo: Ceramicists, in my experience, a frequently very witty people. Bom dia, Problema, and all who seeks music and French ornithologist explainers. And then there would be BiUK. Hullo to you.
	9:09am specksnyder: morning, trouble. morniing friends.
	9:09am Dave in Vermont: @Brian, I did not realize that. Thanks for mentioning it.
	9:09am Sem Chumbo: looks like I need typing AND grammar tutelage
	9:10am Brian in UK: Hey Sem. Tatas are in the ground at last.
	9:13am sphere: good morning T and T-folk. :)
	9:13am Sem Chumbo: Well done, Brian. Thanks to several recent very high tides, I have totally recovered my potato bed w/ rockweed and will plant within the week.
	9:14am Davis: @Brian. there used to be a single decker bus in leeds with the number plate, THX113S. i used to find this wildly weird
	9:14am Adrian in London: Gahh, missed Tindersticks! Never mind. Ooh, here they are again! Thanks Trouble!
	9:15am Brian in UK: Sem nearly had a bad experience yesterday when a split pin (whoever uses them anymore) broke on the cultivator (tiller to you) gear change; could not disengage gear. T'was nearly a horrible ending.
	9:15am melinda: Good morning! What a treat tuning in to this tindersticks.
	9:17am Brian in UK: @Davis that was when the 'S' was at the end. Love it. Guess there was no conductor.
	9:18am Adrian in London: Tindersticks are on tour around Europe at the moment, playing to short films they had made for the songs on their last LP. They were great the other week. Worth catching them if you;re on the continent over the next couple of months.
	9:19am Brian in UK: @Sem is it true that the Bay of Fundy has one of the greatest high to low tides in the world?
	9:21am famous original sugarwolf: Did you see the KLF last night?
	9:22am milkman: I still think about the time you played the Ta-Nehisi Coates excerpt a couple months ago
	9:23am Sam: I guess having lunch at 10 am is very classy
	9:23am specksnyder: Quite an ethereal and joyous set this morning. Nice.
	9:25am OTB: Lovely music for a very lousy day. Thanks, Trouble!
	9:25am Trouble: @milkman- listen to ta-nehesi coates reading his book, you will be forever changed
	9:26am Sem Chumbo: Brian, along with parts of Biscay Bay, Inchon, Korea (part of the genius of Douglas MacArthur's landing there during the Korean Conflict was that nobody ever considered defending against that, deeming it impossible), the Bay of Fundy has 50 foot+ tides, at the head of the Bay. Where I live it is ~28 feet median. Glad you still have all your extremities intact.
	9:27am katie: Wow. Haven't heard Lilac Time for ages. and just in time for lilacs.
	9:30am Sam: I like this set! From St. Etienne to St. Germain with a swing through the lilacs.
	9:31am Brian in UK: Wisteria should be showing itself very soon. There was a song of that title on Dan Fogelberg's first album. A delightful record.
	9:31am Marcel M: Love tuning in to dub. Morning all.
	9:34am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	9:35am riley: Good morning, sisters and saints and a lovely wakeup set!
	9:35am ausmanx: we (very few) listeners in the southern hemisphere quickly tire of your exclusionary northern seasonal obsessions, you know...
	9:37am Ken From Hyde Park: "Don't jump, little figurine! Don't give up hope!"
	9:38am specksnyder: @kenfromyhdepark--I think it's standing on milk crates, so it's not that high.
	9:40am geegee vindaloo: The Power of the Sy archive.digtriad.com...
	9:41am bobdoesthings: I use to enjoyed my "Art writing" class in college.. it should be called "filler/fluff language and BS'ing 101"
	9:42am specksnyder: I've thought about teaching a class at my college called "Academic/Adminspeak: Writing as Obfuscation."
	9:43am milkman: @trouble the small bit you played made me cry so I have to really prepare myself
	9:43am bobdoesthings: *thesauras required
	9:44am bobdoesthings: *thesauras required
	9:44am fred: The director where I work is a native speaker of that language. A coworker has the unenviable task of translating his prose to English
	9:45am Trouble: @milkman. you fall in love with him, he doesn't kill you all the time, just sometimes.
	9:46am fred: @specksnyder: There's even already a theme song for that class: The Nihilist Spasm Band's "I have nothing to say"
	9:47am specksnyder: Week one of the class: Acronyms: The Poetry of Letters
	9:48am specksnyder: @fred--perfect! Maybe some Negativland in there too. I'm sure they have something to say about nothing to say as well.
	9:51am owlex: holy smokes, I've been wanting to know where people like us sourced this sample from in her song Ever
	9:52am βrian: Un ciel bas over the isthmus today. Rain, rain, rain. But the tomatoes are in. All is well.
	9:53am βrian: Sourcing samples? Sounds a little louche.
	9:58am Trouble: this is the time of year when i am behind in my gardening. i can't seem to start seeds, it just doesn't work for me. so then mothers day is here and people have blooms and i have nothing. we do need to take the fig out of the basement
	10:00am MD: Goood Morning My Spring Happy Freeform Friends!!!
	10:01am Ken From Hyde Park: I, too, need to get going on my little garden. I actually harvested some edible carrots last season. Tough little buggers survived a dry spell where I didn't water them much at all.
	10:05am Erella: Good morning!
	10:08am Priscilla: Did anyone read the article about Melania Trump in the New Yorker? Just when I thought it couldn't get any more depressing.
	10:08am Trouble: bonjour erella!
	10:08am βrian: We started our seeds at the beginning of March this year, grow lights, oscillating fan, and all — on a setup by a sunny window.
	10:09am Trouble: haven't read the article priscilla but i am scared very scared
	10:09am Erella: Have you seen this link? There's a photo of one of the Au Pairs. It is pretty funny. www.theguardian.com...
	10:09am Priscilla: I bet my husband an ice cream sundae that Trump would lose
	10:11am Marcel M: He wont win Trouble, don't worry. Its good he will be the nominee. Its alllll falling into place.
	10:11am Priscilla: @Erella: and so go our dreams
	10:14am OTB: Claudia!
	10:14am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm starting a rumor that Drumpf is going to select Chris Christy as his running mate and Christy is going to appoint Sarah Palin to take over as governor of New Jersey. That sounds wacky enough to be true!
	10:15am Marcel M: Ken, he just appointed Christie to be the lead of the "transitional team."
	10:15am Marcel M: Which means the dude who is in charge of putting together the post nominee team. I guess.
	10:16am carl junglist: Howdy
	10:16am Sam: The running mate's going to be Putin. It's become an open secret in Washington. Then Russia will be one heartbeat away from taking our entire nuclear arsenal and oil and movie stars, ha ha ha!
	10:16am Marcel M: I was expecting more for Christie from Trump, as was he, probably.
	10:16am Marcel M: @Sam: haha
	10:16am bobdoesthings: Is it possible for a third party candidate to step up outta nowhere.. where's the green party these days?
	10:17am Marcel M: @Bob: I believe it is possible. I think the Clintons had them all killed.
	10:17am bobdoesthings: <-- knows nothing about politics.
	10:17am Sam: The green party = Bernie, practically speaking
	10:17am βrian: We'd gladly give him Scott Walker for whatever. Please be our guest.
	10:19am bobdoesthings: @marcel - what about me?! I could run for president?? Bob for Prez!! Free cheese sticks for all, weed is cool now.. Everyone chill.. Im abolishing centralized currency.. no we all just share and be nice!!
	10:20am specksnyder: @bob--you'd get my vote. Just hope the Clintons don't try to knock you off, too.
	10:20am Marcel M: @Bob: Sure, go for it! But your platform is a little too soft, like Brie, harden up a bit more like parmesan.
	10:21am Sam: The problem is, if we abolish currency, the first thing that will happen is my landlord will evict me. He won't accept cheese sticks.
	10:21am ausmanx: be of good cheer, your election can't be any worse than ours, it's coming up on July 2... at least you guys have a choice. sort of.
	10:21am Erella: It is important to get out and vote when you are given the opportunity.
	10:22am bobdoesthings: ah shit.. this stuff sounds hard. Maybe I'll just form a commune in the woods instead.
	10:22am Marcel M: @Ausmanx: Where you at?
	10:23am ausmanx: we have got some pretty good soft cheeses down on King Island, though... in case you wish to try our parliament, Bob
	10:23am Priscilla: I used to have a button saying "Jobs, not cheese!"
	10:23am Erella: Sam, where are you?
	10:23am βrian: If we abolish currency, we'll be forever out of date. I could live with that, I guess.
	10:23am Sam: Cheeses from islands tend to be soft, from the humidity
	10:23am ausmanx: the (sometimes) dismal big Australasian island, Marcel
	10:24am Sam: Jersey City
	10:24am Whosondephone: Nice segue
	10:26am ausmanx: which is why im watching maoris disembowelling small furry animals at work this evening. all in the name of tradition and conservation
	10:26am Marcel M: Ah! I see Aus... I guess I should have been able to tell from the name! And thanks for keeping the cheese joke going! Work time. Bye friends.
	10:28am Sam: Enjoy your work before Bernie bans it!
	10:32am Brian in UK: Pilates and reading magazines. Ah, the world view.
	10:32am Adrian in London: @Ausmanx I think you need to explain the Maori disembowelling thing. At your work? At theirs? What sort of animals?
	10:34am Dave in Vermont: I've been watching the BBC/Hulu show called In The Flesh in which zombies are "cured" and the repercussions of being assimilated back into the community after "the rising" are explored. @Brian, Somehow your comment on Bernie banning work made me think of that but not in a straight line way I am willing to try to articulate right now.
	10:36am ausmanx: a series called HUNTING AOTEAROA. they just drive around killing anything that moves, then show you how to pluck, skin, carve and cook it all. Sarah Palin would make a good special guest. it's in Maori, so i'm doing the subtitles. i'm starting to find it a bit relentless, having just commenced episode 13! last episode was a swan cull
	10:36am Priscilla: @ausmanx OMG
	10:37am Polyus: obligatory "wow, this is Eric Carmen?" post
	10:39am Brian in UK: Chuck Berry for Pres.
	10:39am medicalfools: Lol that song ruled
	10:39am ausmanx: yes, i fear some of the editors here with less strong constitutions would not be happy working on this one. the host is very engaging though! oh, and this is series 9, so i am imagining the tally of corpses which has built up over the course of the filming...
	10:39am Adrian in London: @Ausmanx Hmm, just looked at the website. "Presented by former All Black and avid pig hunter"… How do you know Maori anyway to translate it? Not a common language on the Isle of Man, Id' have thought. Or are you just making it up?! "Let's kill the goose!" etc.
	10:40am sphere: this Elton John cover is awesome. i couldnt dream that someone could get away with it.
	10:40am Brian in UK: The KLF did a song called "Kylie said to Jason" if memory serves.
	10:42am medicalfools: Wow I want to quit my job and go home and play Benny and the jets on guitar all day
	10:42am Tome: , nice show Alive and Kicking
	10:42am Brian in UK: The guy who started Neighbours passed away the other day.
	10:43am ron in S FL: Yes, I LOVE this!
	10:43am Brian in UK: This sounds like Benny from Crossroads.
	10:44am Davis: yikes, Cartoon Head
	10:44am ausmanx: my maori vocabulary is coming on apace, adrian. but no, we have a translator to do the heavy lifting, i just edit. i suspect Trouble's comments board is not quite the right place to bring it up; it would perhaps be more appropriate with someone like Mr McSorley! and yes, Brian, that was Reg Grundy... bizarrely, his daughter used to work in this place with me as an editor! she was, ahem, eccentric
	10:44am ausmanx: and just generally speaking, S and C's Wedding are a wonderful band...
	10:47am Adrian in London: Ah thanks. I love the subjects Trouble's comments board throws up. I was going to talk about tame crows but I'll save that for another time!
	10:48am Tome: Reg Grundy RIP 》 bbc.in/1ZB7dmV
	10:49am Trouble: it was a pretty good cover, but not as swell as biz markie's benny
	10:51am Trouble: i heard a talk show yesterday where the woman rehabilitated humming birds. she had written a book about her experiences, it was kinda fascinating and very new age. she talked a lot about their emotional abilities...
	10:52am Davis: Adrian. bloke at turnpike lane has a crow on his head at all times... and a fairy lighted dog...
	10:53am βrian: Which reminds me, it's time to get out the humming bird feeder.
	10:55am Adrian in London: @Davis There's a bloke in Sutton known as The Wizard who has a cat on his shoulder and a dog at his heels. He dressed like, well, a wizard, all flowing robes, and carries a staff. And there's a chap near me who wakes his pet parrot for some fresh air, sitting on his shoulder. Beautiful read and green feathers.
	10:59am Trouble: there was a time in my musical life where i would NEVER have played a song with a prominent flute ( thank you jethro tull). Now i like bobbi humphrey, what is happening to me???
	11:01am PKNY: @Trouble - glad to see Bobbi broke down your flute prejudice! Maybe you just like jazz/funk fluting, and not rock fluting.
	11:02am βrian: I once waited on James Galway. Still not a big flute fan.
	11:02am Brian in UK: Trouble back to planting again. Jethro Tull invented the seed drill.
	11:03am Trouble: locomotive breath is a superb song, but they did kill the flute for me, too much of a flute thing
	11:03am βrian: @BUK: What all are you planting?
	11:04am βrian: A triple espresso is my portal to locomotive breath.
	11:06am PKNY: The P-Funk All-Stars did a live version of "Maggot Brain" with Maceo Parker starting off with a flute solo that was pretty nice --> www.youtube.com...
	11:06am Brian in UK: Jeremy Steig next? @βrian Potatoes, onions, broad beans, cabbages, lettuces (various) tomatoes, courgettes, spring onions and ofcourse self seeding weeds.
	11:08am Brian in UK: ....and some soft fruits if the nets go up in time to keep the birds away.
	11:09am Ike: Penultimate or just ultimate?
	11:09am Michael: Agree Trouble: Porches in North Adams is pretty neat. And right across the street from MassMoca.
	11:11am mariano: Wow, haven't heard any Etienne Daho for years, sorry I missed it.
	11:14am Priscilla: It's a really cool pot!
	11:14am Playing with Matches: Here's the link! http://hyperallergic.com/296905/antiques-roadshow-mistakenly-values-high-school-art-project-at-50000
	11:15am emily: am listening surreptitiously to your show. last morning in this class. students have left the building (or almost all have left my classroom after final critique). nice to hear you live, trouble! must get to archives cuz i've missed you so!
	11:16am Trouble: ike damn you, you are always right and i am always wrong. thankfully i am a buddhist and know that change is constant
	11:17am rw: Looks as good as anything selling for $50,000 these days to me.
	11:17am kevlicki: Trouble who's material does the beyonce film infer? And let's be realistic there were hundreds of people that maintain the cruise liner known as Beyonce. Also, i enjoyes the Hill Out Of Lemonade on my girar, and only, viewing. It's a well produced album, duh
	11:18am billy: This average white boy must defend J Tull - try their first 2 albums This Was and Stand Up.
	11:18am emily: love the jug head!
	11:18am Ike: Only bad copyeditors think that they are always right. I sure hope I'm not one of those.
	11:19am Trouble: bonjour emily!!
	11:19am mariano: Where's the Hyperallergic article on Lemonade, or did I misunderstand? I've put in various search terms but nothing comes up...
	11:19am βrian: I was an adult before I discovered that zucchinis (courgettes) are wonderful if not overcooked. Still, I mainly live for tomatoes.
	11:20am geezerette: True about Beyonce. Pipilotti Rist infinitely better. Love that you mention things like that! Roadshow charges $$$ admission,total fraud!
	11:21am Trouble: @kevlicki: infer is a nice form, but stealing is more like it: pippilotti rist and julie dash. here is one comment www.scoopnest.com...
	11:22am Trouble: julie dash daugheters of the dust www.nytimes.com...
	11:24am fred: It looks like the Pipilotti Rist reference is a bit of a stretch, it's a bat, not a flower (Ever is over all is a wonderful video). Her copy of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's Rosas Danst Rosas was blatant (and uncredited as well)
	11:27am kevlicki: Trouble and geezerette Thanks for the info, I'll def check her out!
	11:28am fred: thank you for the set Trouble!
	11:29am mariano: Thanks for the links Trouble!
	11:29am kevlicki: In bummer news Other Music will close soon http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/10/arts/music/other-music-record-store-closing.html Music sales are down and NYC rents are up
	11:30am Trouble: i heard @kevlicki, that is a part of my life closing up, sad
	11:31am geezerette: First time I've heard this show. Total delight! Thanks for the trouble,Trouble!
	11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: I am voting "Yes" on whatever proposition this Hourglass track is associated with.
	11:34am Adrian in London: @Fred Saw a doc about dance on BBC4 the other week when De Keersmaeker said she found out about Beyonce using her dance so instead of taking the legal route released an instructional video showing people how to dance it. The result was squillions of girls making their own versions and posting them online, so it had a strange new lease of life.
	11:34am Erella: Welcome Geezerrette
	11:35am Trouble: merci, geezerette and fred
	11:36am geezerette: High five Erella! Are we related? :D
	11:36am Brian in UK: Trouble, love the less than chucklesome music. Got me though the ironing. What else to do on a wet Tuesday afternoon.
	11:36am Trouble: that is a great story adrian!
	11:37am fred: @Adrian: www.rosasdanstrosas.be... She has also had open performances where she asks people to come and dance it.
	11:37am franny: I really need an all sitar show on this station. This is the closest to the dream. I may get.
	11:38am βrian: @franny: You have my vote.
	11:41am franny: This is kind of the age of sitar...not really albums. Or mp3s.
	11:42am Ken From Hyde Park: @franny - DJ Bryce had an all-raga show several weeks ago. www.wfmu.org...
	11:42am Brian in UK: Are there any non-commercial by that I mean advertising-free TV stations in the US?
	11:43am franny: @Ken - I'm on it.
	11:45am geezerette: www.luhringaugustine.com... active link to Pipilotti Rist. A little gift to those interested.
	11:45am fred: @Brian UK, is there anything commercial free in the US?
	11:45am Trouble: merci, brian in UK. re: TV> we have public stations like PBS but you will see ads to underwrite the shows. not during the prgrams but at the end or beginning, yes. WKCR out of columbia university does a raga show on sunday nights. they stream so you can tune them in all over the world.
	11:45am cklequ: @franny Try digging through his archives too, franny. I'm pretty sure he's done it more than a few times.
	11:46am Mike East: @Brian - Public Television advertises for itself and its corporate underwriters, but that's it. Other than that, it would be the premium channels (HBO, Showtime, etc) that don't have commercials, but cost extra money.
	11:46am cklequ: Didn't mean to repeat your name there.......
	11:48am geezerette: This Raga is making me so happy!
	11:48am Michael 98145: @Brian, this is interesting if you like: www.cpb.org...
	11:51am JakeGould: FWIW, I initially heard about the Beyoncé/Pipilotti Rist comparison from Jerry Saltz Instagram. www.instagram.com...
	11:54am Dave in Vermont: @Brian there is also public access or cable access which generally has local community oriented/produced programming. Like city council meetings or shows by the weird person down the street from hosting a call-in shows to talking about conspiracies or the power pf prayer or whatever they can think of that they just need to put out there.
	11:54am Kevlicki: Adrian in UK I like that story. a way more creative response than litigiousness
	11:54am Brian in UK: @Michael98145 Thanks will check it later. @Fred a bit confused did you mean UK? If so YES, THE BBC, THAT THIS PRESENT GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO WASTE AS IT IS IN LEAGUE WITH JERRY JAGGER'S NEW AMOUR. OH SORRY SHE WAS NEVER MARRIED TO JAGGER.
	11:56am Erella: This article is interesting about Eno and Anne De Keersmaeker and their collaboration. www.theguardian.com...
	11:56am Ike: @Brian in UK, people are mentioning PBS but the missing context is that compared to other state-funded broadcasters, PBS is incredibly anemic and has virtually no original comedy or drama programming of its own, just recycled BBC stuff mostly. It's also known for children's shows like Sesame Street (cheaper to produce, I'd wager) but now the first-runs of that have gone over to HBO.
	11:57am Trouble: cheerio, thanks for listening
	11:57am Rev. Turnip Druid: Very rarely able to comment these days, but belated thanks for the Robert Crouch, earlier. Ideal walking-commute sounds.
	11:58am Brian in UK: Thanks for the feedback. From a quick look, not a great deal. PBS seems to get a bad press on this station.
	11:58am Adrian in London: Lovely show today Trouble, as always.
	11:58am geezerette: @Ike: Newt Gingrich & crew gutted PBS in the 90s under Clinton.
	11:59am JakeGould: PBS is not that great anymore. Very whitbread. NPR as well. Whitbread nonsense.
	11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: I watch PBS for scientific or investigative programming. Not interested in their entertainment offerings. Have a lovely week, Trouble. Don't forget your gardening tasks!
	11:59am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble
