	9:14am meredith: Hope everyone is having a lovely morning so far
	9:17am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Contemplation. Activism. Consumption. Conflagration. Painting in Museum. Museum on Street. Street in City. City in World. Life in a Society. Soul in Time. Robot's breakfast. Electronic companionship. Counting finite breaths. Slow...indulgent courage for the crucial mundane. Fall seven times, stand up eight.
	9:20am ?: yes, v nice art.
	9:23am sphere: this c duncan person is pretty awesome.
	9:24am Adrian in London: Hello from blustery London. I may have damp feet but my ears are hot, thanks to Trouble's music!!
	9:26am Trouble: nice to hear from you all this darkish morning. where is the sun? it's downright foggy outside, can't see nyc across the hudson kind of fog
	9:36am bobdoesthings: goodmorning!
	9:36am meredith: It is beautiful here in sunny, warm Chapel Hill, NC. not a cloud to be seen. Sending you some rays from the South
	9:37am Itzall Ablurr: Thinking about recreating this fine painting on the wall of my office with the message changed... open to suggestions. "I SAID DECAF" is a contender.
	9:37am annie: meredith: you want clouds, by any chance? sending some your way from asheville..
	9:37am pierre: dear Trouble, like many words in our old and twisted language, in Août the "A" is actually silent, so it would basically be pronounced "OOT" :)
	9:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: i am saying hello now.
	9:38am Rev. Turnip Druid: PIERRE.
	9:38am pierre: i'm answering "hello" back Rev.
	9:38am pierre: RIGHT !
	9:39am Passaic River Blues: Big ups, DJ Ice Pack Swordsmen Posse!
	9:39am Trouble: www.nytimes.com...
	9:41am melinda: Thanks for that link, Trouble. Sounds interesting. And I just last night subscribed so I can read beyond the paywall!
	9:41am emily: Hey!
	9:41am Trouble: merci pierre! i truly never knew that: damn my high school french teacher!
	9:42am Adrian in London: Well done and 'en garde!' to DJ Icepack
	9:43am sphere: Outside of Baltimore, the skies are relatively clear.
	9:44am Druseph: But the real question is epee, sabre, or foil?
	9:44am Trouble: bonjourno emily!!
	9:45am Trouble: epeeeeeeeeeee
	9:45am Druseph: yesssss, my fave
	9:45am Trouble: and my sons team was UNDEFEATED this season. crazeee
	9:46am cee: www.youtube.com...
	9:49am sugarwolf: Congrats DJ Icepack and his fencing team!!!!
	9:50am bobdoesthings: congrats DJ Icepack - I use to fence foil in my teens. What weapon does DJ Icepack use?
	9:54am bobdoesthings: oh already answered previously. epee is the coolest of the three IMO.. even though I chose foil.
	9:56am Priscilla: Curses! Foiled again!
	9:59am βrian: Salut les auditeurs ! Un ciel bas pèse sur l'Isthme aujourd'hui.
	10:00am MD: Cool! We are all in a Twilight Zone Episode!!
	10:00am MD: That Explains it! I WILL WAKE UP SOON!!!
	10:01am Guido from Cologne: "man in space with sounds" sooo goood! also the cover art!
	10:01am MD: I WILL WAKE UP SOON!!!
	10:01am pierre: @βrian: figuratively or literally ?
	10:01am MD: I MUST WAKE UP SOON!!!
	10:03am βrian: Les deux, me semble-t-il.
	10:06am βrian: I get automated calls at work. When there's a silent pause when I answer, I hang right up.
	10:06am Ike: Try Nomorobo! www.nomorobo.com It works! If your kind of landline can handle it, anyway. Won't stop political calls, though, or at least I don't think so.
	10:07am bill: ring ring "hello?" "[pause] oh hi! sorry, haha, I'm having a problem with my headset!" click
	10:07am melinda: I get a lot of automated hang-up calls on my landline. The answering machine screens them though.
	10:07am MD: Hey when we get done killing this planet...We can all meet in the Trappist 1 System...OH Wait...I will need at least 50 Billon $ to get there....DUGH!!!
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ooo - Thx Ike.
	10:09am MD: There is no sound in space..."In space no one can hear us Clash..."
	10:10am ifny: I get the occasional spam text....but they're all on EST and I'm on PST so they text me at 5am trying to recruit me as a silent shopper. But I'm a sleeping shopper!
	10:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Man In Space w/ Sounds' cover: 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	10:11am Mick: Oh, and watch out for the robocalls that ask: "Can you hear me ok?" They can record your answer, and have been known to use a vocalized "Yes" for nefarious purposes (or at least to spur a lot of follow up calls).
	10:13am Passaic River Blues: Both of our senators in New Jersey voted against Sen. Sanders' drug pricing amendment. As much as Sen. Booker can be on the right side of things, he also has a troubling history w/r/t financial regulation and reigning in Big Pharma. ... For the last couple of months I've been getting calls on my cell phone from a Scientology Center in Los Angeles. Every fifth or sixth call, I answer by exclaiming, "I HAVE NO MONEY! FORGIVE ME, LORD XENU!" or something like that, and then hang up. I do this in a hallway at my job and hope that, through these outbursts, I am cultivating the reputation of office freakshow.
	10:14am ifny: Ha, this song sounds like a Flight of the Conchords cover.
	10:14am pierre: those lyrics make think of Flight Of the Conchords
	10:14am bobdoesthings: ugh Nomorobo doesn't work unless you update ios.. and I refuse b/c I use jailbreak apps. :( bummer.
	10:14am ifny: Boom! Pierre you owe me a beer :)
	10:15am βrian: When you've gone clear, doesn't that imply there's no money left?
	10:16am pierre: ifny : my pleasure ! where can we meet ?
	10:16am ifny: Isn't there a No Call registry in the US? That's what we have in Canada. I never get robocalls. Why do you people get to have all the fun?
	10:16am βrian: @ifny: Of course, where do you think the spammers find your number?
	10:17am Frank's Brain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2eoghwwkyU "Sitting by the side of the road." Later version w/his more famous brother, Roberto - who wrote it. Dig the cars. And the pipe. Apparently,Eydie Gormé also covered it.
	10:17am ifny: @pierre: Where you at? I'm on the Left Coast, north of the Lost Coast.
	10:17am ⓘⓚⓔ: @BDT wow I didn't even know it had an iOS version. I refuse to update as well. It used to just be available for landlines. @ifny, yeah but it doesn't always work anymore. Lots of dirtbags (poss. overseas) ignore it.
	10:18am ifny: Ifny and the Overseas Dirtbags. My new band name.
	10:18am pierre: i'm on the Parisian coast
	10:19am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Yeah, no call registry, no works.
	10:19am bobdoesthings: @ike - most of the robocalls i get are from florida or montana or new mexico. fwiw. So I can usually spot them..and block their numbers.. But I must have hundreds of numbers blocked now.. and to what end?!
	10:19am northguineahills: So, that would be the banks of the Seine?
	10:20am Trouble: never say yes on the phone to a solicitor. once some company switched my long distance to an insane super pricy plan from nowheresvill arizona and i struggled for months to clear my bill . never say yes
	10:20am ɛɨk: @PRB, remember, Xenu is their bad guy. Maybe you should exclaim something like, "I have no money! But maybe Lord Xenu will pay me to throw you into a volcano!? VOLCANO LOVE!"
	10:20am đ¢ ÞäŦ: They can spoof the numbers, all mine come from 202 (DC) which is confusing.
	10:21am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble and Troubled ones!
	10:21am bobdoesthings: oh yeah I get 202 numbers as well.. which is confusing because I grew up in the 201 area code in NJ. so it tricks me!
	10:22am JakeGould: "No Call" registries are a joke. They mostly just block you from someone explicitly contacting that exact number. But there is nothing stopping anyone for sequentially dialing numbers in an area code or region. Most call centers for scams start dialing (for example) from 212-555-0001 to 212-555-9999. That is why robocalls and semi-automated calls still exist. Loopholes!
	10:23am ifny: @pierre that probably makes Montreal the midpoint. Good beer there. Fin du Monde (12%) is a favourite title of mine, though Unibroue is too big to be a microbrewery now.
	10:24am bobdoesthings: Sometimes I stay on the line till I get a person and I quickly blurt out "TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST - DO NOT CALL EVER AGAIN" because I heard some nonsense about how they're legally obligated to do so.. not like I could ever back that up or chase em down.. but at least I yelled at someone!
	10:24am ifny: @JakeGould perhaps in the US. Not up here though, No Call lists seem to be actually enforced. Our government polites robocallers to death.
	10:25am βrian: I used to drink McAuslan brews when in Montreal. And Boréale Rousse.
	10:28am dfb: i do the easy thing -- once the voice start in that tone --- robo or not i just hang up no interaction no nothing
	10:28am ifny: When I visit Montreal I'm usually too busy eating to drink.
	10:28am Passaic River Blues: @Ike: that could be it! (I often get the Scientology mythology all mixed up. Perhaps if I come out as an ardent Xenutian they'll take me off the list, like if the Family Research Council calls you up, talking about how Anton LaVey had a lot of good ideas will probably get you excised from the call list.
	10:30am FMthatguy: Mornnin' people.
	10:30am emily: listening intermittently. got freddie the roofer here with son desmond. fighting the fight against the squirrel caucus.
	10:31am Ken From Hyde Park: Ding dong! Avon calling!
	10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seriously - it's what an answering machine is for - but sometimes I'm expecting a call & actually want to pick up.
	10:32am SeanG: Hiya Trouble and All! getting psyched for the marathon let's go!
	10:33am Trouble: omg emily! so sorry to hear that the squirrels are winning...
	10:33am pierre: i'd love to go to Montreal !
	10:34am bill: Best time to go to Montreal is February
	10:37am βrian: Are the bars smoke-free yet in Montreal?
	10:43am ifny: @ βrian I fairly certain they are. I haven't been there for a while.
	10:44am ɨkɛ: D. Banhart must have merged with Fujiya & Miyagi there & become a cyborg! ;)
	10:45am βrian: I always liked spring in Montréal.
	10:46am Adrian in London: Oh, this song is doing all sorts of things to me!
	10:52am melinda: I occasionally get calls from a robot pretending to be the IRS or some govt agency threatening arrest if I don't call the number they give to confirm a 'court date'. It's sad to think of people being alarmed and calling the number.
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Phishing' indeed: casting a wide net & trying to live off the few you catch. That's how Advertising does.
	10:57am Passaic River Blues: @Melinda: I used to work with a girl whose Gujarati father was taken in by such a scam and paid something like $10k to sort out a made-up tax lien that had to be rectified RIGHT AWAY. It was terrible, and it seemed the worst part was her father's mixture of anger and self-directed scorn for having been so foolish.
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Capitalism - pushing all the primal Darwinian buttons (Fear &tc.)...maybe they're right & a Free Market is the Natural State...
	11:00am ifny: @βrian We're doing spring in Vancouver...the crocuses are out, the crows are pairing up, and on the weekend I saw two raccoons in a tree having a public private pubic moment...
	11:01am ifny: Or maybe they just got their landline cord tangled up in the branches and were trying to get it out.
	11:01am Trouble: consequenceofsound.net...
	11:06am Priscilla: Did you see a Teddy Bear Soft Bakes ad with that Little Dragon link? Giant teddy bear-shaped cakes?
	11:07am cee: i tune in every thurs morning just to hear trouble struggle with pronunciation of foreign artists. also, fuck trump and you too if you voted for him
	11:09am JakeGould: Toss kids an extra packet of ketchup or duck sauce.
	11:10am bobdoesthings: Didn't they just ban trans fats in cooking food and gave companies a 3 year ultimatum to remove it from foods entirely? www.cnn.com...
	11:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bernie Sanders grilling a Drumpf position nominee : ...'I have the option of buying a $10 Million house - but it's not going to happen!'... Beware the Privileged selling you Deregulation disguised as 'FreeDumbs'.
	11:11am Passaic River Blues: Barely Parodied GOP: "Freeloading first graders! Get a job if you want lunch so badly!"
	11:11am MD: Thank You Trouble! Remember their word "regulations" Should be changed to PROTECTIONS...whenever possible...Just like every day we should all say...THE FAILING DONALD TRUMP..
	11:13am Polyus: I feel fortunate to have the elected representatives that I do.
	11:15am Trouble: hope that was clear, so hard to digest those bills, since they try to obfuscate as much as possible. i believe my tax money should benefit the public schools. whether someone chooses to send their child to private or public, public school money should not be siphoned off. there is hardly enough as is.
	11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not nearly enuff - now - for Education in the U.S.
	11:20am βrian: If you don't value regulation, you're not eligible to get a pacemaker.
	11:22am Mick: MD - thanks for the tip on changing "Regulations" to "Protections." The way we frame things affects the whole conversation.
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Indeed - I bet that was on Karl Rove & Newt Gingrich's short list of terms to manipulate back in the 'Republican Revolution'.
	11:24am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Yeah, seems like the Republicans always win at framing the conversation. That's how they won the 2nd Amendment debate, they always talked about right to bare arms. People on our side never succeeded in bringing up the rest of the amendment: "well regulated militia."
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes - essentially their argument for Gun Deregulation devolves to the Constitutional Right to own weapons to challenge the Government - any kind of weapon @ all - & only if they were 'well-regulated' (...Not). That's if you interpreted it that way, rather than the U.S. has a Right to the Armed Forces. Which is - completely different. All the Gun nonsense that makes us different from the entire rest of the developed world is based on no more that this. Of course - it would all only be to defend a Government that (even more fundamentally) Constitutionally "promotes the General Welfare" - I can only presume...
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the Rights to Free Assembly, Religion - LIFE, Liberty & Happiness that we All have (gun owners or nay)...
	11:37am đ¢ ÞäŦ: It's all for political tomfoolery. The republicans know exactly what the bill of rights says but they're experts at filtering it to their purposes. Meanwhile the wishwashy liberals just react: "Hey, you can't do that. That's not fair!"
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's a harsh irony that the true lovers of Freedom are harder to Organize (as Julian Cope observed: the Romans marched in Straight Lines & built roads - the Celts favored Spirals...)
	11:41am Passaic River Blues: Forgot to mention earlier: thank you, Trouble, for the Anita Brookner recommendation. I finished "Latecomers" on the train this morning--really, really good! Reminded me a bit of Jane Gardam. Anyway, thank you!
	11:43am sugarwolf: 2nd amendment: I have to reread the book I saw this in but in the 18th if you owned a gun, you had to serve in the well regulated militia, and most people didn't want to do that. So they generally didn't own guns.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Looking forward to the day I am well-informed enuff to not just say 'I love African Guitar' - altho' it is generally true! The NRA was linked from the beginning to the KKK.
	11:44am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Oh yeah, I just finished My Brilliant Friend last week because of Trouble, et. al. Thanks!
	11:45am Jeff: The Arthur Russell earlier got me to remembering - years ago when someone first introduced me to his music, I was all "What the huh?" Now he's one of my favorite artists.
	11:47am đ¢ ÞäŦ: NRA is a self-obsessed band of yahoos that have done irreparable harm to this country based on their misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment. There's a special place in heck for all of them.
	11:49am MD: Oh Man ! Who set the message board on fire!!! I like it! It keep's US all nice and Warm!!!
	11:50am MD: Hey Marathon daze is commin up...Remember...Let's all show a little love...!!! I know we will! XO!!!
	11:51am bobdoesthings: Thanks Trouble! great show as always. see ya.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We're Learning. (...I'll give this Election that much.)
	11:53am Priscilla: Finishing "Bring Up the Bodies" by Hilary Mantel. I am not one for historical fiction, but it's so good.
	11:54am Trouble: i am reading missing person by patrick modiano: love him!!!
	11:54am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble for another fine show
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always.
	11:55am alan from sacto: dang this is good, thank god for trouble and wfmu
	11:55am kevin: hey thanks SO MUCH for the heads up on HR 610! Unfortunately, our cretin representative in district 19 John faso won't hold town halls or even pick up his phone!! We have been petitioning him and this Fri. at noon we'll be gathering in numbers at his Kingston, NY office. Then at 6, we're holding a mock town hall. If any listeners are in Ulster, Orange, or Sullivan Counties feel the Bern, they should come out too! Thanks T
	11:55am Michele: Previewed this LP in the library yesterday. SO good! Great show today Trouble!
	11:57am Passaic River Blues: @Priscilla: Me neither, especially historical fiction about a Cromwell (yuck). However, Mantel's "Wolf Hall" trilogy is fantastic! @Trouble: Thank you!
	11:58am annie: ditto to what Michele said, great tunes this morning; thanks trouble!
	11:59am βrian: Charlie on the Drummer Stream, coming up: wfmu.org...
	11:59am Mick: Brilliant show, natch! Thanks Trouble!
	12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Trouble!
	12:00pm cee: great show trouble!
	9:56pm THE YEARNING ! THE YEARNING ! THE YEARNING !: THE YEARNING ! THE YEARNING ! THE YEARNING ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8hceokDpUE

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from February 23, 2017

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.

Robot's breakfast. Electronic companionship. Counting finite breaths. Slow...indulgent courage for the crucial mundane. Fall seven times, stand up eight.
	9:20am ?: yes, v nice art.
	9:23am sphere: this c duncan person is pretty awesome.
	9:24am Adrian in London: Hello from blustery London. I may have damp feet but my ears are hot, thanks to Trouble's music!!
	9:26am Trouble: nice to hear from you all this darkish morning. where is the sun? it's downright foggy outside, can't see nyc across the hudson kind of fog
	9:36am bobdoesthings: goodmorning!
	9:36am meredith: It is beautiful here in sunny, warm Chapel Hill, NC. not a cloud to be seen. Sending you some rays from the South
	9:37am Itzall Ablurr: Thinking about recreating this fine painting on the wall of my office with the message changed... open to suggestions. "I SAID DECAF" is a contender.
	9:37am annie: meredith: you want clouds, by any chance? sending some your way from asheville..
	9:37am pierre: dear Trouble, like many words in our old and twisted language, in Août the "A" is actually silent, so it would basically be pronounced "OOT" :)
	9:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: i am saying hello now.
	9:38am Rev. Turnip Druid: PIERRE.
	9:38am pierre: i'm answering "hello" back Rev.
	9:38am pierre: RIGHT !
	9:39am Passaic River Blues: Big ups, DJ Ice Pack Swordsmen Posse!
	9:39am Trouble: www.nytimes.com...
	9:41am melinda: Thanks for that link, Trouble. Sounds interesting. And I just last night subscribed so I can read beyond the paywall!
	9:41am emily: Hey!
	9:41am Trouble: merci pierre! i truly never knew that: damn my high school french teacher!
	9:42am Adrian in London: Well done and 'en garde!' to DJ Icepack
	9:43am sphere: Outside of Baltimore, the skies are relatively clear.
	9:44am Druseph: But the real question is epee, sabre, or foil?
	9:44am Trouble: bonjourno emily!!
	9:45am Trouble: epeeeeeeeeeee
	9:45am Druseph: yesssss, my fave
	9:45am Trouble: and my sons team was UNDEFEATED this season. crazeee
	9:46am cee: www.youtube.com...
	9:49am sugarwolf: Congrats DJ Icepack and his fencing team!!!!
	9:50am bobdoesthings: congrats DJ Icepack - I use to fence foil in my teens. What weapon does DJ Icepack use?
	9:54am bobdoesthings: oh already answered previously. epee is the coolest of the three IMO.. even though I chose foil.
	9:56am Priscilla: Curses! Foiled again!
	9:59am βrian: Salut les auditeurs ! Un ciel bas pèse sur l'Isthme aujourd'hui.
	10:00am MD: Cool! We are all in a Twilight Zone Episode!!
	10:00am MD: That Explains it! I WILL WAKE UP SOON!!!
	10:01am Guido from Cologne: "man in space with sounds" sooo goood! also the cover art!
	10:01am MD: I WILL WAKE UP SOON!!!
	10:01am pierre: @βrian: figuratively or literally ?
	10:01am MD: I MUST WAKE UP SOON!!!
	10:03am βrian: Les deux, me semble-t-il.
	10:06am βrian: I get automated calls at work. When there's a silent pause when I answer, I hang right up.
	10:06am Ike: Try Nomorobo! www.nomorobo.com It works! If your kind of landline can handle it, anyway. Won't stop political calls, though, or at least I don't think so.
	10:07am bill: ring ring "hello?" "[pause] oh hi! sorry, haha, I'm having a problem with my headset!" click
	10:07am melinda: I get a lot of automated hang-up calls on my landline. The answering machine screens them though.
	10:07am MD: Hey when we get done killing this planet...We can all meet in the Trappist 1 System...OH Wait...I will need at least 50 Billon $ to get there....DUGH!!!
	10:07am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ooo - Thx Ike.
	10:09am MD: There is no sound in space..."In space no one can hear us Clash..."
	10:10am ifny: I get the occasional spam text....but they're all on EST and I'm on PST so they text me at 5am trying to recruit me as a silent shopper. But I'm a sleeping shopper!
	10:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Man In Space w/ Sounds' cover: 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	10:11am Mick: Oh, and watch out for the robocalls that ask: "Can you hear me ok?" They can record your answer, and have been known to use a vocalized "Yes" for nefarious purposes (or at least to spur a lot of follow up calls).
	10:13am Passaic River Blues: Both of our senators in New Jersey voted against Sen. Sanders' drug pricing amendment. As much as Sen. Booker can be on the right side of things, he also has a troubling history w/r/t financial regulation and reigning in Big Pharma. ... For the last couple of months I've been getting calls on my cell phone from a Scientology Center in Los Angeles. Every fifth or sixth call, I answer by exclaiming, "I HAVE NO MONEY! FORGIVE ME, LORD XENU!" or something like that, and then hang up. I do this in a hallway at my job and hope that, through these outbursts, I am cultivating the reputation of office freakshow.
	10:14am ifny: Ha, this song sounds like a Flight of the Conchords cover.
	10:14am pierre: those lyrics make think of Flight Of the Conchords
	10:14am bobdoesthings: ugh Nomorobo doesn't work unless you update ios.. and I refuse b/c I use jailbreak apps. :( bummer.
	10:14am ifny: Boom! Pierre you owe me a beer :)
	10:15am βrian: When you've gone clear, doesn't that imply there's no money left?
	10:16am pierre: ifny : my pleasure ! where can we meet ?
	10:16am ifny: Isn't there a No Call registry in the US? That's what we have in Canada. I never get robocalls. Why do you people get to have all the fun?
	10:16am βrian: @ifny: Of course, where do you think the spammers find your number?
	10:17am Frank's Brain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2eoghwwkyU "Sitting by the side of the road." Later version w/his more famous brother, Roberto - who wrote it. Dig the cars. And the pipe. Apparently,Eydie Gormé also covered it.
	10:17am ifny: @pierre: Where you at? I'm on the Left Coast, north of the Lost Coast.
	10:17am ⓘⓚⓔ: @BDT wow I didn't even know it had an iOS version. I refuse to update as well. It used to just be available for landlines. @ifny, yeah but it doesn't always work anymore. Lots of dirtbags (poss. overseas) ignore it.
	10:18am ifny: Ifny and the Overseas Dirtbags. My new band name.
	10:18am pierre: i'm on the Parisian coast
	10:19am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Yeah, no call registry, no works.
	10:19am bobdoesthings: @ike - most of the robocalls i get are from florida or montana or new mexico. fwiw. So I can usually spot them..and block their numbers.. But I must have hundreds of numbers blocked now.. and to what end?!
	10:19am northguineahills: So, that would be the banks of the Seine?
	10:20am Trouble: never say yes on the phone to a solicitor. once some company switched my long distance to an insane super pricy plan from nowheresvill arizona and i struggled for months to clear my bill . never say yes
	10:20am ɛɨk: @PRB, remember, Xenu is their bad guy. Maybe you should exclaim something like, "I have no money! But maybe Lord Xenu will pay me to throw you into a volcano!? VOLCANO LOVE!"
	10:20am đ¢ ÞäŦ: They can spoof the numbers, all mine come from 202 (DC) which is confusing.
	10:21am Webhamster Henry: Hi Trouble and Troubled ones!
	10:21am bobdoesthings: oh yeah I get 202 numbers as well.. which is confusing because I grew up in the 201 area code in NJ. so it tricks me!
	10:22am JakeGould: "No Call" registries are a joke. They mostly just block you from someone explicitly contacting that exact number. But there is nothing stopping anyone for sequentially dialing numbers in an area code or region. Most call centers for scams start dialing (for example) from 212-555-0001 to 212-555-9999. That is why robocalls and semi-automated calls still exist. Loopholes!
	10:23am ifny: @pierre that probably makes Montreal the midpoint. Good beer there. Fin du Monde (12%) is a favourite title of mine, though Unibroue is too big to be a microbrewery now.
	10:24am bobdoesthings: Sometimes I stay on the line till I get a person and I quickly blurt out "TAKE ME OFF YOUR LIST - DO NOT CALL EVER AGAIN" because I heard some nonsense about how they're legally obligated to do so.. not like I could ever back that up or chase em down.. but at least I yelled at someone!
	10:24am ifny: @JakeGould perhaps in the US. Not up here though, No Call lists seem to be actually enforced. Our government polites robocallers to death.
	10:25am βrian: I used to drink McAuslan brews when in Montreal. And Boréale Rousse.
	10:28am dfb: i do the easy thing -- once the voice start in that tone --- robo or not i just hang up no interaction no nothing
	10:28am ifny: When I visit Montreal I'm usually too busy eating to drink.
	10:28am Passaic River Blues: @Ike: that could be it! (I often get the Scientology mythology all mixed up. Perhaps if I come out as an ardent Xenutian they'll take me off the list, like if the Family Research Council calls you up, talking about how Anton LaVey had a lot of good ideas will probably get you excised from the call list.
	10:30am FMthatguy: Mornnin' people.
	10:30am emily: listening intermittently. got freddie the roofer here with son desmond. fighting the fight against the squirrel caucus.
	10:31am Ken From Hyde Park: Ding dong! Avon calling!
	10:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seriously - it's what an answering machine is for - but sometimes I'm expecting a call & actually want to pick up.
	10:32am SeanG: Hiya Trouble and All! getting psyched for the marathon let's go!
	10:33am Trouble: omg emily! so sorry to hear that the squirrels are winning...
	10:33am pierre: i'd love to go to Montreal !
	10:34am bill: Best time to go to Montreal is February
	10:37am βrian: Are the bars smoke-free yet in Montreal?
	10:43am ifny: @ βrian I fairly certain they are. I haven't been there for a while.
	10:44am ɨkɛ: D. Banhart must have merged with Fujiya & Miyagi there & become a cyborg! ;)
	10:45am βrian: I always liked spring in Montréal.
	10:46am Adrian in London: Oh, this song is doing all sorts of things to me!
	10:52am melinda: I occasionally get calls from a robot pretending to be the IRS or some govt agency threatening arrest if I don't call the number they give to confirm a 'court date'. It's sad to think of people being alarmed and calling the number.
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Phishing' indeed: casting a wide net & trying to live off the few you catch. That's how Advertising does.
	10:57am Passaic River Blues: @Melinda: I used to work with a girl whose Gujarati father was taken in by such a scam and paid something like $10k to sort out a made-up tax lien that had to be rectified RIGHT AWAY. It was terrible, and it seemed the worst part was her father's mixture of anger and self-directed scorn for having been so foolish.
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Capitalism - pushing all the primal Darwinian buttons (Fear &tc.)...maybe they're right & a Free Market is the Natural State...
	11:00am ifny: @βrian We're doing spring in Vancouver...the crocuses are out, the crows are pairing up, and on the weekend I saw two raccoons in a tree having a public private pubic moment...
	11:01am ifny: Or maybe they just got their landline cord tangled up in the branches and were trying to get it out.
	11:01am Trouble: consequenceofsound.net...
	11:06am Priscilla: Did you see a Teddy Bear Soft Bakes ad with that Little Dragon link? Giant teddy bear-shaped cakes?
	11:07am cee: i tune in every thurs morning just to hear trouble struggle with pronunciation of foreign artists. also, fuck trump and you too if you voted for him
	11:09am JakeGould: Toss kids an extra packet of ketchup or duck sauce.
	11:10am bobdoesthings: Didn't they just ban trans fats in cooking food and gave companies a 3 year ultimatum to remove it from foods entirely? www.cnn.com...
	11:11am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bernie Sanders grilling a Drumpf position nominee : ...'I have the option of buying a $10 Million house - but it's not going to happen!'... Beware the Privileged selling you Deregulation disguised as 'FreeDumbs'.
	11:11am Passaic River Blues: Barely Parodied GOP: "Freeloading first graders! Get a job if you want lunch so badly!"
	11:11am MD: Thank You Trouble! Remember their word "regulations" Should be changed to PROTECTIONS...whenever possible...Just like every day we should all say...THE FAILING DONALD TRUMP..
	11:13am Polyus: I feel fortunate to have the elected representatives that I do.
	11:15am Trouble: hope that was clear, so hard to digest those bills, since they try to obfuscate as much as possible. i believe my tax money should benefit the public schools. whether someone chooses to send their child to private or public, public school money should not be siphoned off. there is hardly enough as is.
	11:18am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not nearly enuff - now - for Education in the U.S.
	11:20am βrian: If you don't value regulation, you're not eligible to get a pacemaker.
	11:22am Mick: MD - thanks for the tip on changing "Regulations" to "Protections." The way we frame things affects the whole conversation.
	11:23am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Indeed - I bet that was on Karl Rove & Newt Gingrich's short list of terms to manipulate back in the 'Republican Revolution'.
	11:24am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Yeah, seems like the Republicans always win at framing the conversation. That's how they won the 2nd Amendment debate, they always talked about right to bare arms. People on our side never succeeded in bringing up the rest of the amendment: "well regulated militia."
	11:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes - essentially their argument for Gun Deregulation devolves to the Constitutional Right to own weapons to challenge the Government - any kind of weapon @ all - & only if they were 'well-regulated' (...Not). That's if you interpreted it that way, rather than the U.S. has a Right to the Armed Forces. Which is - completely different. All the Gun nonsense that makes us different from the entire rest of the developed world is based on no more that this. Of course - it would all only be to defend a Government that (even more fundamentally) Constitutionally "promotes the General Welfare" - I can only presume...
	11:32am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the Rights to Free Assembly, Religion - LIFE, Liberty & Happiness that we All have (gun owners or nay)...
	11:37am đ¢ ÞäŦ: It's all for political tomfoolery. The republicans know exactly what the bill of rights says but they're experts at filtering it to their purposes. Meanwhile the wishwashy liberals just react: "Hey, you can't do that. That's not fair!"
	11:40am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's a harsh irony that the true lovers of Freedom are harder to Organize (as Julian Cope observed: the Romans marched in Straight Lines & built roads - the Celts favored Spirals...)
	11:41am Passaic River Blues: Forgot to mention earlier: thank you, Trouble, for the Anita Brookner recommendation. I finished "Latecomers" on the train this morning--really, really good! Reminded me a bit of Jane Gardam. Anyway, thank you!
	11:43am sugarwolf: 2nd amendment: I have to reread the book I saw this in but in the 18th if you owned a gun, you had to serve in the well regulated militia, and most people didn't want to do that. So they generally didn't own guns.
	11:44am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Looking forward to the day I am well-informed enuff to not just say 'I love African Guitar' - altho' it is generally true! The NRA was linked from the beginning to the KKK.
	11:44am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Oh yeah, I just finished My Brilliant Friend last week because of Trouble, et. al. Thanks!
	11:45am Jeff: The Arthur Russell earlier got me to remembering - years ago when someone first introduced me to his music, I was all "What the huh?" Now he's one of my favorite artists.
	11:47am đ¢ ÞäŦ: NRA is a self-obsessed band of yahoos that have done irreparable harm to this country based on their misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment. There's a special place in heck for all of them.
	11:49am MD: Oh Man ! Who set the message board on fire!!! I like it! It keep's US all nice and Warm!!!
	11:50am MD: Hey Marathon daze is commin up...Remember...Let's all show a little love...!!! I know we will! XO!!!
	11:51am bobdoesthings: Thanks Trouble! great show as always. see ya.
	11:52am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We're Learning. (...I'll give this Election that much.)
	11:53am Priscilla: Finishing "Bring Up the Bodies" by Hilary Mantel. I am not one for historical fiction, but it's so good.
	11:54am Trouble: i am reading missing person by patrick modiano: love him!!!
	11:54am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble for another fine show
	11:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always.
	11:55am alan from sacto: dang this is good, thank god for trouble and wfmu
	11:55am kevin: hey thanks SO MUCH for the heads up on HR 610! Unfortunately, our cretin representative in district 19 John faso won't hold town halls or even pick up his phone!! We have been petitioning him and this Fri. at noon we'll be gathering in numbers at his Kingston, NY office. Then at 6, we're holding a mock town hall. If any listeners are in Ulster, Orange, or Sullivan Counties feel the Bern, they should come out too! Thanks T
	11:55am Michele: Previewed this LP in the library yesterday. SO good! Great show today Trouble!
	11:57am Passaic River Blues: @Priscilla: Me neither, especially historical fiction about a Cromwell (yuck). However, Mantel's "Wolf Hall" trilogy is fantastic! @Trouble: Thank you!
	11:58am annie: ditto to what Michele said, great tunes this morning; thanks trouble!
	11:59am βrian: Charlie on the Drummer Stream, coming up: wfmu.org...
	11:59am Mick: Brilliant show, natch! Thanks Trouble!
	12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Trouble!
	12:00pm cee: great show trouble!
