	9:13am Sketch: Good morning and thank you for this Spacey space man music. It pairs wonderfully with floating in my hammock
	9:14am themutante: Floating in a hammock listening to WFMU, now that is living! @Sketch
	9:14am jkeigh: I have a hafler trio record that's not labeled for 33 or 45 and it sounds good at both so I don't think there's a wrong speed if it sounds right :-)
	9:14am Itzall Ablurr: I really like that painting, I'll have to check out John Walker. Gotta' say, I'm not sure if it's hung right but regardless, it's nice.
	9:15am Sketch: Brap brap brap Joe gibbs Inna dun fashion mek di hammock wind so
	9:16am Passaic River Blues: Thank you for that Hyperallergic link, Trouble. This bears investigating.
	9:16am Sem Chumbo: Good morning, Trouble, and hello all in the default Modern World.
	9:17am mysilentface: good morning, Trouble! so happy I have the day off and I get to listen live. love your show!!
	9:19am Trouble: merci for the kind words @itzall ablurr and mysilentface! glad to be back in the magical chair spinning sounds for hammock dwellers and all the rest of us
	9:20am BnowB: Bonjour
	9:24am Mark Williams: @jkeigh - which Hafler record is that?
	9:25am John in Bklyn: This organ is great!!
	9:32am jkeigh: It's "They Who Return" a limited pressing of 451 on Soleilmoon Records released in 1996
	9:33am Mark Williams: that one I don't have, so no guess shall be hazarded by me!
	9:33am jkeigh: my bad it's an Utterance of the Supreme Ventriloquist . I just read the wrong side :-)
	9:34am dfb: this little song sways well
	9:35am jkeigh: There's nothing to indicate what but I assume it's 33 1/3 although it still sounds interesting played at 45.
	9:38am duke: Clay's headphones go to 11.
	9:39am Adrian in London: Greetings from a little peaceful park in the shadow of The Shard here in Southwark. Sounding good.
	9:40am ⓔⓘⓚ: Volume can't account for that unnatural phenomenon. Are you sure the source isn't white and powdery? (Kidding, kidding!)
	9:40am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and friends. Sun is shining brightly here today.
	9:41am Itzall Ablurr: Yes. Please. Correct speed good.
	9:42am Trouble: good morning adrian in a park, how you continue to taunt me...
	9:44am Trouble: read a crazee wild book on vacation by Muriel Spark: the hot house by the east river. wowza
	9:45am Trouble: with this great cover: s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...
	9:45am Wild Neil: Peace all. I just learned college radio which is usually transmitted at a lower power can go a bit further than higher frequency stations on the same FM dial. This may be why college radio is usually found at the left side of the dial so they have a fighting chance of getting their signal to go as far as possible on a limited Watt budget. Does this make sense?.
	9:45am Adrian in London: @Trouble Your premium arrived last week and good grief. It that Samantha Jones track, I Deserve It, is astonishingly great! Thanks!
	9:46am Adrian in London: And my park life is a 30-minute sojourn from an insanely busy press cycle, so do t be too jealous.
	9:49am John in Bklyn: This is nice at any RPM.
	9:52am Itzall Ablurr: Mmmmmm.... blue ring
	9:53am jkeigh: Mmmm... my favorite reggae album
	9:54am Mario: rastafariiii!!! dadwah!!!!
	9:57am steveo: Hi Trouble, et al. Sorry I'm so late, my coop shift went a little long today. I am enjoying Moon Diagrams.
	9:58am steveo: Oh, my, can't wait to hear it at the wrong speed :)
	10:00am steveo: I read that Amy Poeppel book you mentioned. You're right, it was funny. Made me glad I only live in Brooklyn, haha.
	10:01am Mark Williams: Dadawah - aka/more commonly known as Ras Michael (& the Sons of Negus band).
	10:02am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang!
	10:02am Trouble: @steveo o good! and glad that you don't have a high school age child in NYC!
	10:02am Tara: so happy to wake up to this
	10:03am jkeigh: I was lucky enough to see richard pinhas live at NEARfest around a decade or so ago. It was a short set but nice
	10:04am Trouble: great read about this song:lithub.com...
	10:08am steveo: Well, my oldest starts middle school in two weeks. The good news is that his new school goes through 12th grade, so we have that as an option.
	10:09am Parq: Go slow would be one thing. These days we're being told to go backwards.
	10:10am Parq: Stevo, my oldest starts high school in two weeks -- as their librarian.
	10:10am BnowB: yea...!!! taking care of myself!!!
	10:10am BnowB: bad relationships suck!
	10:11am BnowB: yea baby ... taking of myself .. work that..
	10:12am BnowB: girl power!
	10:14am BnowB: love princess nokia and jungle pussy.. :) i'd go straight for them lmao yup written here forever
	10:14am Parq: Love this Cibo album, on my short list of albums I'm going to keep if I ever have to get rid of most of mine.
	10:16am BnowB: flava flav!!!! boY
	10:16am BnowB: trouble got this roof on fire
	10:17am βrian: Public Anemone!
	10:18am BnowB: "you already knowwww.... Trouble is IT!
	10:18am Itzall Ablurr: But, Brian, why DO the anemones moan?
	10:19am melinda: I love the Diva soundtrack.
	10:19am steveo: @parq -- nice (we started late ;)
	10:22am BnowB: '71 tripping me out
	10:23am emily: Gotta catchup! What have I missed by not being tethered to Trouble radio?
	10:23am Dominick: Love Suzanne Ciani
	10:25am Trouble: @emily, we solved the global warming problem and now we are on to not enough hours in the day...
	10:25am Webhamster Henry: Yes, this Ciani is nice!
	10:26am Parq: I was out of the room for that PE track, but I love the title.
	10:27am steveo: Oh one thing we missed was Morricone Youth. I didn't realize this: [wikipedia:] Guitarist/founder Devon E. Levins hosted a weekly Internet radio show from 2007 to 2014 under the same name on East Village Radio playing primarily obscure film and television soundtracks and library music and interviewing soundtrack composers [...] The radio show has since moved to WFMU under the new name Morricone Island.
	10:27am moist: would love to go back in time to Paris 1971
	10:34am MD: This is da Modern World! Good Morning Gang....Keeping the Shiny Side up I hope! Good Morning Trouble...
	10:41am Listener Robert: Sorry to hear you had eclipse weather trouble, Trouble. I went with a friend + her friend to visit another of our friends who's living with his sister in Columbia, SC. Clear start to the day yielded to 2 layers of clouds (even a sprinkle) just as the eclipse started. However, just before totality a break in the clouds afforded a great view of the sun (though not of Mercury), then shortly after totality clouds again. (I didn't see shadow bands on the ground as I did in 1970 in Va. Beach, though.) My viewing filter: an old X-ray. Any exposed B&W negative works well and doesn't tint the view.
	10:44am Priscilla: Whoever recommended "Losing It" by Emma Rathbone, thank you! It's hilarious and just the thing for Trump-itis.
	10:48am Listener Robert: Wild Neil @ 9:45, no, the freq allocation of the FM broadcast band was not for that reason, which isn't even generally true. It IS true that under conditions of sporadic E skip, lower frequencies may propagate to great distances while higher ones don't, but sporadic E skip is so spotty, it's not a useful way of extending one's coverage area. I used to participate in the hobby of listening (and on TV, watching) for unusually distant reception (DX), but these days the only time I notice sporadic E skip or other DX propagation is when it interferes with WMFU on 90.1.
	10:49am Trouble: it was adrian in london@priscilla. i put up a short piece of hers from the new yorker and he liked it so much that he sought her out. great to know we are spreading magical reading vibes across the ocean and back!
	11:00am βrian: This sounds like the usual office chatter. Ayeh.
	11:02am ɨkɛ: @LR & @WN, yeah I thought that was only true for AM, not FM. (BTW, LR, are you in the Bronx? How are the pirates there lately? Same as usual?)
	11:07am Listener Robert: I moved from the Bronx to here in Sussex Co. NJ (postally Andover, legally Green) almost a year ago. What you refer to is true of AM because of the ability of signal at those wavelengths to half-slit diffract around the Earth's surface, or to put it another way, use the conductive land & water as half a wave guide.
	11:08am βrian: Trouble had crime bosses in her youth?
	11:08am cee dubbles: http://www.rhodybeat.com/stories/ray-pat-sleeps-with-the-fishes,26730
	11:10am cee dubbles: http://www.rhodybeat.com/stories/ray-pat-sleeps-with-the-fishes,26730
	11:10am melinda: Patriarca is a great name for the head of a crime family.
	11:11am Greg from ZONE 5: Ooh, feeling this!
	11:13am Stay Frosty: Love the show. Ship happens (i.e. sinks). I don't look for trouble. Trouble always seems to just find me.
	11:13am Listener Robert: It's misleading to state these as properties of AM & FM, i.e. modulation types, rather than of the wavelengths or frequencies that use them: medium wave & VHF, respectively. AFAIK the British still refer to their FM broadcast band as "VHF" rather than "FM", and the AM BCB as "medium wave".
	11:13am Jeff: Hey, Trouble! Good to hear you back! Can I assume you've listened to the Crimetown podcast? Seems unlikely you'd have missed it.
	11:15am Passaic River Blues: There's a short story somewhere in there, the tale of a mobster's pleasure boat passing through various hands, and sinking ignominiously amidst a solar eclipse (dramatic license with the timing and all).
	11:16am Trouble: i haven't heard it yet, @jeff. keep meaning too
	11:16am CeeDubbles: I 'grew up' on the same type of boat. Also as seen in "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming"
	11:19am Trouble: loved that silly film @ceedubbles! we had one sort of like it, although much smaller...
	11:19am Jeff: Patriarca figures prominently. And of course all set in your beloved Rhode Island. www.crimetownshow.com
	11:19am Trouble: all yours passaic river blues!! glad i could contribute to your writing genius!
	11:20am Trouble: my dad had lots of friends who knew raymond, everybody seemed to...
	11:25am Trouble: this song comes from a comp honoring a show of the same name at the Tate www.tate.org.uk...
	11:36am steveo: belt it out, Rose!
	11:39am steveo: sing it Sister Rosetta!
	11:47am steveo: everyone in office wonders why dancing in chair
	11:51am Mark Williams: Winston Samuels died last week, btw. RIP. Very little known Jamaican singer, but he sang a lot of beautiful songs.
	11:52am Trouble: crazy story about this tim maia song: soundsandcolours.com...
	11:52am βrian: This is so very swank!
	11:52am Trouble: thanks for that sad info @mark. glad i played his song by happenstance
	11:53am Sem Chumbo: Lovely morning of spins, Trouble. Thank you. Now, off to the garden, the tomatoes await.
	11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the sweet sounds this morning, Trouble. I'll be helping at the souvenir tent at Sheep and Wool Saturday, 10/21, less than a month away already.
	11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: No, wait...two months. Sheesh!
	11:55am drr: Hoping someone will reissue some Tim Maia records. Only ever seen that one put out by David Byrne's imprint, and I just hate the cover too much.
	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the Drummer Stream: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org...
	11:57am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:57am CeeDubbles: ditto steveo! such a sweet funky groove with hot guitlicks!
	11:58am Adrian in London: Thanks, Trouble; great show.
	11:59am steveo: thanks, Trouble!
	12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Trouble!!

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.

(I didn't see shadow bands on the ground as I did in 1970 in Va. Beach, though.) My viewing filter: an old X-ray. Any exposed B&W negative works well and doesn't tint the view.
	10:44am Priscilla: Whoever recommended "Losing It" by Emma Rathbone, thank you! It's hilarious and just the thing for Trump-itis.
	10:48am Listener Robert: Wild Neil @ 9:45, no, the freq allocation of the FM broadcast band was not for that reason, which isn't even generally true. It IS true that under conditions of sporadic E skip, lower frequencies may propagate to great distances while higher ones don't, but sporadic E skip is so spotty, it's not a useful way of extending one's coverage area. I used to participate in the hobby of listening (and on TV, watching) for unusually distant reception (DX), but these days the only time I notice sporadic E skip or other DX propagation is when it interferes with WMFU on 90.1.
	10:49am Trouble: it was adrian in london@priscilla. i put up a short piece of hers from the new yorker and he liked it so much that he sought her out. great to know we are spreading magical reading vibes across the ocean and back!
	11:00am βrian: This sounds like the usual office chatter. Ayeh.
	11:02am ɨkɛ: @LR & @WN, yeah I thought that was only true for AM, not FM. (BTW, LR, are you in the Bronx? How are the pirates there lately? Same as usual?)
	11:07am Listener Robert: I moved from the Bronx to here in Sussex Co. NJ (postally Andover, legally Green) almost a year ago. What you refer to is true of AM because of the ability of signal at those wavelengths to half-slit diffract around the Earth's surface, or to put it another way, use the conductive land & water as half a wave guide.
	11:08am βrian: Trouble had crime bosses in her youth?

	11:10am melinda: Patriarca is a great name for the head of a crime family.
	11:11am Greg from ZONE 5: Ooh, feeling this!
	11:13am Stay Frosty: Love the show. Ship happens (i.e. sinks). I don't look for trouble. Trouble always seems to just find me.
	11:13am Listener Robert: It's misleading to state these as properties of AM & FM, i.e. modulation types, rather than of the wavelengths or frequencies that use them: medium wave & VHF, respectively. AFAIK the British still refer to their FM broadcast band as "VHF" rather than "FM", and the AM BCB as "medium wave".
	11:13am Jeff: Hey, Trouble! Good to hear you back! Can I assume you've listened to the Crimetown podcast? Seems unlikely you'd have missed it.
	11:15am Passaic River Blues: There's a short story somewhere in there, the tale of a mobster's pleasure boat passing through various hands, and sinking ignominiously amidst a solar eclipse (dramatic license with the timing and all).
	11:16am Trouble: i haven't heard it yet, @jeff. keep meaning too
	11:16am CeeDubbles: I 'grew up' on the same type of boat. Also as seen in "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming"
	11:19am Trouble: loved that silly film @ceedubbles! we had one sort of like it, although much smaller...
	11:19am Jeff: Patriarca figures prominently. And of course all set in your beloved Rhode Island. www.crimetownshow.com
	11:19am Trouble: all yours passaic river blues!! glad i could contribute to your writing genius!
	11:20am Trouble: my dad had lots of friends who knew raymond, everybody seemed to...
	11:25am Trouble: this song comes from a comp honoring a show of the same name at the Tate www.tate.org.uk...
	11:36am steveo: belt it out, Rose!
	11:39am steveo: sing it Sister Rosetta!
	11:47am steveo: everyone in office wonders why dancing in chair
	11:51am Mark Williams: Winston Samuels died last week, btw. RIP. Very little known Jamaican singer, but he sang a lot of beautiful songs.
	11:52am Trouble: crazy story about this tim maia song: soundsandcolours.com...
	11:52am βrian: This is so very swank!
	11:52am Trouble: thanks for that sad info @mark. glad i played his song by happenstance
	11:53am Sem Chumbo: Lovely morning of spins, Trouble. Thank you. Now, off to the garden, the tomatoes await.
	11:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the sweet sounds this morning, Trouble. I'll be helping at the souvenir tent at Sheep and Wool Saturday, 10/21, less than a month away already.
	11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: No, wait...two months. Sheesh!
	11:55am drr: Hoping someone will reissue some Tim Maia records. Only ever seen that one put out by David Byrne's imprint, and I just hate the cover too much.
	11:55am βrian: Coming up on the Drummer Stream: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org...
	11:57am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:57am CeeDubbles: ditto steveo! such a sweet funky groove with hot guitlicks!
