	9:34am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Thanks for the Huskers trouble..
	9:34am CeeDubbles: Walking around with my head in the clouds, it makes no sense at all
	9:35am John in Bklyn: The best cover of the hardcore era! R.I.P. Grant. Long live Hüskers!
	9:35am Emily: Yr giving me goosebumps, Trouble!
	9:35am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Eight Miles High was another great cover.
	9:36am John in Bklyn: OK, I Think I Love You by ISM was a close second!
	9:36am Mick: Oh man, I didn't know about Grant Hart till just now. These last couple weeks have been way too much! Thank you for playing the Hüsker Dü, Trouble
	9:45am The Oscar: One of my favorite Grant Hart stories, from MST3K's Michael J. Nelson: "I just don’t know much about them compared to, say, the Replacements. But I’ll tell you a short anecdote about Grant Hart, who I met once. A high school kid called me who was going to do a concert for charity, and he said, “Would you emcee it?” And he said some of the other names who’ll be there, and one of them was Grant Hart, and I’m, like, “Oh, yeah, this guy’s landing the big fish, so I’ll do it.” Well, it turned out that he had bungled everything, and no one showed up. Like, no one. So Grant Hart and I, we did our things to the three people who were there – the organizers, basically! – but then Grant insisted that we helped clean up, so he and I were doing, like, garbage detail for two hours at this thing! But I was oddly touched by how insistent he was. “We can’t just let this poor kid empty the garbage! We’ve got to help!” I just thought that was pretty cool that this rock ‘n’ roll guy was concerned about the garbage pickup."
	9:48am Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, folks. Haitian art sale / benefit this weekend: www.poughkeepsiejournal.com...
	9:49am BnowB: RIP WB ... these sad love songs are so my life right now.. so theres that .. LOVE YOU TROUBLE! Hope your ok..
	9:50am emily: Like the artwork!
	9:51am MD: Good Morning All!
	9:54am Itzall Ablurr: This is a lovely version of one of their (in my opinion) most beautiful songs, in spite of their 70s era hirsute appearance.
	9:57am Trouble: @itzall Ablurr : I agree, love this song, and don't mind their 70's look
	9:58am Threemoons: Hey all. Dropping in at an unusual time for me; still waiting for GE Guy for those following the Saga of the Fridge. Hope you all are doing good today. Checking in from Astoria, NYC. Also got a text from Mom; two of her attempted flights out of Florida have been cancelled; going for third-time's-the-charm out of a smaller airport near West Palm Beach...
	9:59am Itzall Ablurr: Haha. I know. As a survivor of that time & space, I never questioned that I should ALSO look like they did, my parents had other ideas but eventually gave up.
	10:03am Stephanie: Hi folks, I'm so happy to be listening with you all today after a few days of tuning into archived Modern Worlds and not being able to chat along.
	10:04am neither: Good Morning everybody!
	10:06am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, all!
	10:06am Polyus: Oh cool, I just got this Wire Tapper cd but haven't listened yet. That track was lovely.
	10:07am Trouble: fingers crossed threemoons that your mom gets out of florida this time...
	10:09am Glenn L: Elk! Been longing to hear this ever since I got the news. My very first engineering credit!
	10:09am bigwally: love uncle wiggly couldn't place it at first
	10:09am Michele: Chris Bell!!! Loving the show today Trouble!
	10:09am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble and Troubledz, Hope everyone is as well as can be expected.
	10:12am pierre: never heard Chris Bell's solo record, i like it.
	10:13am Lou: i've heard i am the cosmos a thousand times and still gives me goosebumps.
	10:16am BronwynB: morning trouble and everybody :)
	10:19am neither: That guitar...
	10:27am Michele: Glad you played Uncle Wiggly ♥️
	10:33am Trouble: oy apparently ari up can not be trusted to throw a random curse word or two into the mix. deleted and moved on!
	10:34am CeeDubbles: kismet, was just registering for Reach Now car sharing in Lisboa
	10:35am neither: Erasmos Carlos, what a surprise! Greetings from Brazil, Trouble
	10:36am neither: Not the usual tune from him; he's usually more rockabilly and less bossa nova. Great choice.
	10:36am Trouble: bom dia@ brasil! glad to have you aboard, neither
	10:39am Sacreligion: Hell yeah, that last track was the bomb.
	10:40am Kayt: bom dia trouble. seja como for: Jen-chi a-beaR-ta
	10:41am Trouble: obrigado kayt! you are the best pronunciation translator!
	10:42am Threemoons: Trouble--thanks so much, and thanks for the great playlist! At least I have something nice to groove to while I wait for the GE Guy.
	10:42am meredith: oh! what is this!?!? sounds very Stereolab!
	10:42am Sacreligion: This track is also the bomb, and I love your description of the viking ship!
	10:43am meredith: Oh, she was Stereolab. OK. yay!! I have missed that sound
	10:44am Wm K Moss of Rural Western Pennsylvania: Great show. My mind is pleasantly expanding.
	10:45am Priscilla: Wow — memories flooding in with this Eno
	10:46am Kayt: di nada trouble. thanks that's nice of you to say. i dont really know how it came to be but it is.
	10:46am Adrian in London: Oh, nice segue there.
	10:46am BnowB: catching train home from city. i just want my bed lol sleep
	10:47am CeeDubbles: Tweedy and Bennett never listened to Eno, nosirreebob
	10:48am slugluv1313: what Priscilla said above! and just so perfectly perfect right now, too :) good morning, Trouble and everyone!
	10:50am NewB T: Thank you Trouble - just what I needed on a stressful morning! This song always brings me peace.
	10:51am Andy the painter: the gathering steam of the jazz butcher revival....
	10:52am jamesie: cherry CBD is like toothpaste, but I like the free CBD lollipop
	10:54am JP from KC: Hiya, Trouble, and citizens of the modern world! Loving this set! It's making my penultimate day at my old job even more pleasant than it already is!
	10:56am Sem Chumbo: Nice, nice, nice. Obigado, Ms. T.
	10:58am jamesie: if they sold hallucinogenic vapes - I would give it a try
	11:00am JP from KC: If they sold hallucinogenic vapes, I'd buy ten.
	11:00am neither: Never heard Franco before!
	11:01am Kayt: ew Jah ah-may vo-say (J like Zsa like Zsa Zsa Gabor)
	11:01am neither: This drum got me dancing
	11:03am steveo: WE HEAR YOU
	11:03am βrian: Lovely, just in time for les oiseaux!
	11:04am đ¢ ÞäŦ: I can't help thinking the bird records would be much better if the ornithologist was speaking German. Just a thought.
	11:04am jamesie: JP you talk my langridge
	11:05am βrian: @đ¢ ÞäŦ: Banish that thought!
	11:08am JP from KC: Very much so, Jamesie. I'm actually a little sad that I have a week of downtime between jobs, which would be perfect for taking a nice trip, but I have no contacts.
	11:08am listener james from westwood: Not in the database?! All the more reason why that FMU billboard is needed!
	11:09am meredith: I remember doing radio surveys on the phone and loved doing them. No one ever knew the college radio I would listen to! :)
	11:09am βrian: "WFMU: It's not in the database."
	11:10am Bryant: We got to be a Nielsen-reporting radio household for a short period of time way back 15-20 years ago. It was fun to report listening to WFMU, and only WFMU, for the reporting period. "What radio stations did you listen to at home?" WFMU. "What radio stations did you listen to in the car?" WFMU. "What radio stations did you listen to at work?" WFMU. "Well, what other radio stations did you listen to?" Nope! Just WFMU.
	11:11am Ike: Some "new rock thing" "entering the New York market", you say?! That'd be big radio industry news there, if true. Although if Billy Joel is a potential playlist inclusion, that suggests the same old lameness.
	11:11am βrian: You could've mixed it up a little, with WMFU.
	11:11am MD: Trouble!? Can you list some of the Nelson radio Number? So as many of us can answer that call???!!!
	11:18am steveo: Ugh, I was talking to a co-worker and missed Trouble's Nielsen story. (Made a note to check the archives.) I would guess that no advertising = not interesting to Nielsen at all.
	11:21am The Oscar: I have the feeling a LOT of people are going to be hearing about WFMU for the first time in a couple of days when THAT BILLBOARD goes up!
	11:21am đ¢ ÞäŦ: YEAH, Chain and the Gang! One of DC's finest.
	11:22am Chris from DC: What Pat yeahed.
	11:22am The Oscar: Aw man, just missed Mr. Svenonius playing a record store basement show outside Boston last night!
	11:22am bnowb: Freewill Free speech Free love Yeaaa no I don't believe
	11:23am đ¢ ÞäŦ: I missed the Make Up reunion playing with Tyvek in town. Really regret missing that one.
	11:23am Patrick: good morning from damp Columbus Ohio Trouble!!! Luvin the show this AM.
	11:24am JP from KC: This set is on fire, Trouble! Clicky stars for miles.
	11:25am Wilson K: Was that Ian Svenonius? I mean, it must have been.
	11:25am Ken From Hyde Park: WFMU 24/7 all day forever!
	11:26am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Wilson: yes.
	11:27am Lou: this version is cool. the carrolls version is kick ass too
	11:27am Chris from DC: @Pat, Escape-ism is playing with Dub Narcotic (!) next month.
	11:28am Dennis Diken: love this Shel Talmy comp. great show Trouble!
	11:28am Patrick: Chris, is that Ians new band?
	11:29am đ¢ ÞäŦ: I haven't checked out Escape-ism yet. Might have to make that one. Going to see Daddy Long Legs, Bloodshot Bill, and the Ubangis at District Anchor on Saturday. That is a show made for me.
	11:29am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Ike, avoiding "the same old lameness" in radio is precisely why we are all HERE and not >over there>! It's a got-dang gold mine up in here, every day.
	11:30am BnowB: yea the busy bee.. LO this cheering me up "uh haha"
	11:30am Chris from DC: Escape-ism is basically Ian solo. It's really good.
	11:30am đ¢ ÞäŦ: @Patrick. Escape-ism is Ian's solo, experimental thing. His current performing group is Chain and the Gang. Make-Up has been doing reunion shows that have blown doors off from what I hear.
	11:32am đ¢ ÞäŦ: this Busy Bee is amazing. But why isn't every other word "shit?" or "fuck?"
	11:32am BnowB: this makes up for missing $mall Change last night Ty Trouble
	11:32am Itzall Ablurr: ha-hahahhaah... when you just can't rhyme every line.
	11:32am βrian: I'm glad to see there are a few new billboard options. I was wondering about "Radio for Recidivists".
	11:33am Patrick: I have heard those Make Up shows are awesome... Glad that Chain and the Gang is still around
	11:35am BnowB: @đ¢ ÞäŦ - word!
	11:36am Robert: The Portable People Meter (PPM) is system developed by Arbitron (now Nielsen Audio) to measure how many people are exposed or listening to individual radio stations and television stations, including cable television. The PPM is worn like a pager, and detects hidden audio tones within a station or network's audio stream, logging each time it finds such a signal.
	11:38am đ¢ ÞäŦ: I saw Make-Up couple times back in the day, some of the best shows I've seen. Never got to see Nation of Ulysses though, dangit.
	11:40am đ¢ ÞäŦ: By the way, Svenonius's books are great too. He's a great writer.
	11:40am Ike: @Itzall, no argument here! I enjoy observing the (mostly stupid) movements of the commercial radio market, but not listening to it. The left side of the dial is the right place to be.
	11:43am Polyus: Oh gosh nobody told me there would be learning involved.
	11:44am βrian: "The extreme left," as WCBN says.
	11:49am BnowB: Heard Liz the other night or day.. on radio and whatever it was i just thought she amazing her show amazing. girl power
	11:54am BnowB: And.. Why when we touch the frayed wire our power chords; don't we get a shock?
	11:54am BnowB: on .. on our on our power chords... power chords hehe
	11:56am Sem Chumbo: Goodbye, summertime. Thank you, Trouble. See you and modern worlders next time, as Fall begins.
	11:56am βrian: Coming up: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org...
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning, and for all the good words! see you next week
	11:57am Itzall Ablurr: Porgy!
	11:57am BnowB: Ty trouble namaste
	11:57am blee: That is one gut wrenching "summertime." I have shivers.
	11:57am annie: thanks for the great show today, trouble!
	11:58am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble
	12:01pm Passaic River Blues: This artwork is superb!

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from September 14, 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.

But I’ll tell you a short anecdote about Grant Hart, who I met once. A high school kid called me who was going to do a concert for charity, and he said, “Would you emcee it?” And he said some of the other names who’ll be there, and one of them was Grant Hart, and I’m, like, “Oh, yeah, this guy’s landing the big fish, so I’ll do it.” Well, it turned out that he had bungled everything, and no one showed up. Like, no one. So Grant Hart and I, we did our things to the three people who were there – the organizers, basically! – but then Grant insisted that we helped clean up, so he and I were doing, like, garbage detail for two hours at this thing! But I was oddly touched by how insistent he was. “We can’t just let this poor kid empty the garbage! We’ve got to help!” I just thought that was pretty cool that this rock ‘n’ roll guy was concerned about the garbage pickup."

	9:51am MD: Good Morning All!
	9:54am Itzall Ablurr: This is a lovely version of one of their (in my opinion) most beautiful songs, in spite of their 70s era hirsute appearance.
	9:57am Trouble: @itzall Ablurr : I agree, love this song, and don't mind their 70's look
	9:58am Threemoons: Hey all. Dropping in at an unusual time for me; still waiting for GE Guy for those following the Saga of the Fridge. Hope you all are doing good today. Checking in from Astoria, NYC. Also got a text from Mom; two of her attempted flights out of Florida have been cancelled; going for third-time's-the-charm out of a smaller airport near West Palm Beach...
	9:59am Itzall Ablurr: Haha. I know. As a survivor of that time & space, I never questioned that I should ALSO look like they did, my parents had other ideas but eventually gave up.
	10:03am Stephanie: Hi folks, I'm so happy to be listening with you all today after a few days of tuning into archived Modern Worlds and not being able to chat along.
	10:04am neither: Good Morning everybody!
	10:06am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, all!

	10:33am Trouble: oy apparently ari up can not be trusted to throw a random curse word or two into the mix. deleted and moved on!
	10:34am CeeDubbles: kismet, was just registering for Reach Now car sharing in Lisboa
	10:35am neither: Erasmos Carlos, what a surprise! Greetings from Brazil, Trouble
	10:36am neither: Not the usual tune from him; he's usually more rockabilly and less bossa nova. Great choice.
	10:36am Trouble: bom dia@ brasil! glad to have you aboard, neither
	10:39am Sacreligion: Hell yeah, that last track was the bomb.
	10:40am Kayt: bom dia trouble. seja como for: Jen-chi a-beaR-ta

	10:42am meredith: oh! what is this!?!? sounds very Stereolab!
	10:42am Sacreligion: This track is also the bomb, and I love your description of the viking ship!
	10:43am meredith: Oh, she was Stereolab. OK. yay!! I have missed that sound
	10:44am Wm K Moss of Rural Western Pennsylvania: Great show. My mind is pleasantly expanding.
	10:45am Priscilla: Wow — memories flooding in with this Eno
	10:46am Kayt: di nada trouble. thanks that's nice of you to say. i dont really know how it came to be but it is.
	10:46am Adrian in London: Oh, nice segue there.
	10:46am BnowB: catching train home from city. i just want my bed lol sleep
	10:47am CeeDubbles: Tweedy and Bennett never listened to Eno, nosirreebob
	10:48am slugluv1313: what Priscilla said above! and just so perfectly perfect right now, too :) good morning, Trouble and everyone!
	10:50am NewB T: Thank you Trouble - just what I needed on a stressful morning! This song always brings me peace.
	10:51am Andy the painter: the gathering steam of the jazz butcher revival....
	10:52am jamesie: cherry CBD is like toothpaste, but I like the free CBD lollipop
	10:54am JP from KC: Hiya, Trouble, and citizens of the modern world! Loving this set! It's making my penultimate day at my old job even more pleasant than it already is!
	10:56am Sem Chumbo: Nice, nice, nice. Obigado, Ms. T.
	10:58am jamesie: if they sold hallucinogenic vapes - I would give it a try
	11:00am JP from KC: If they sold hallucinogenic vapes, I'd buy ten.
	11:00am neither: Never heard Franco before!
	11:01am Kayt: ew Jah ah-may vo-say (J like Zsa like Zsa Zsa Gabor)
	11:01am neither: This drum got me dancing
	11:03am steveo: WE HEAR YOU
	11:03am βrian: Lovely, just in time for les oiseaux!
	11:04am đ¢ ÞäŦ: I can't help thinking the bird records would be much better if the ornithologist was speaking German. Just a thought.
	11:04am jamesie: JP you talk my langridge
	11:05am βrian: @đ¢ ÞäŦ: Banish that thought!
	11:08am JP from KC: Very much so, Jamesie. I'm actually a little sad that I have a week of downtime between jobs, which would be perfect for taking a nice trip, but I have no contacts.
	11:08am listener james from westwood: Not in the database?! All the more reason why that FMU billboard is needed!
	11:09am meredith: I remember doing radio surveys on the phone and loved doing them. No one ever knew the college radio I would listen to! :)
	11:09am βrian: "WFMU: It's not in the database."
	11:10am Bryant: We got to be a Nielsen-reporting radio household for a short period of time way back 15-20 years ago. It was fun to report listening to WFMU, and only WFMU, for the reporting period. "What radio stations did you listen to at home?" WFMU. "What radio stations did you listen to in the car?" WFMU. "What radio stations did you listen to at work?" WFMU. "Well, what other radio stations did you listen to?" Nope! Just WFMU.
	11:11am Ike: Some "new rock thing" "entering the New York market", you say?! That'd be big radio industry news there, if true. Although if Billy Joel is a potential playlist inclusion, that suggests the same old lameness.
	11:11am βrian: You could've mixed it up a little, with WMFU.
	11:11am MD: Trouble!? Can you list some of the Nelson radio Number? So as many of us can answer that call???!!!
	11:18am steveo: Ugh, I was talking to a co-worker and missed Trouble's Nielsen story. (Made a note to check the archives.) I would guess that no advertising = not interesting to Nielsen at all.
	11:21am The Oscar: I have the feeling a LOT of people are going to be hearing about WFMU for the first time in a couple of days when THAT BILLBOARD goes up!
	11:21am đ¢ ÞäŦ: YEAH, Chain and the Gang! One of DC's finest.
	11:22am Chris from DC: What Pat yeahed.
	11:22am The Oscar: Aw man, just missed Mr. Svenonius playing a record store basement show outside Boston last night!
	11:22am bnowb: Freewill Free speech Free love Yeaaa no I don't believe
	11:23am đ¢ ÞäŦ: I missed the Make Up reunion playing with Tyvek in town. Really regret missing that one.
	11:23am Patrick: good morning from damp Columbus Ohio Trouble!!! Luvin the show this AM.
	11:24am JP from KC: This set is on fire, Trouble! Clicky stars for miles.
	11:25am Wilson K: Was that Ian Svenonius? I mean, it must have been.
	11:25am Ken From Hyde Park: WFMU 24/7 all day forever!
	11:26am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Wilson: yes.
	11:27am Lou: this version is cool. the carrolls version is kick ass too
	11:27am Chris from DC: @Pat, Escape-ism is playing with Dub Narcotic (!) next month.
	11:28am Dennis Diken: love this Shel Talmy comp. great show Trouble!
	11:28am Patrick: Chris, is that Ians new band?
	11:29am đ¢ ÞäŦ: I haven't checked out Escape-ism yet. Might have to make that one. Going to see Daddy Long Legs, Bloodshot Bill, and the Ubangis at District Anchor on Saturday. That is a show made for me.
	11:29am Itzall Ablurr: Dear Ike, avoiding "the same old lameness" in radio is precisely why we are all HERE and not >over there>! It's a got-dang gold mine up in here, every day.
	11:30am BnowB: yea the busy bee.. LO this cheering me up "uh haha"
	11:30am Chris from DC: Escape-ism is basically Ian solo. It's really good.
	11:30am đ¢ ÞäŦ: @Patrick. Escape-ism is Ian's solo, experimental thing. His current performing group is Chain and the Gang. Make-Up has been doing reunion shows that have blown doors off from what I hear.
	11:32am đ¢ ÞäŦ: this Busy Bee is amazing. But why isn't every other word "shit?" or "fuck?"
	11:32am BnowB: this makes up for missing $mall Change last night Ty Trouble
	11:32am Itzall Ablurr: ha-hahahhaah... when you just can't rhyme every line.
	11:32am βrian: I'm glad to see there are a few new billboard options. I was wondering about "Radio for Recidivists".
	11:33am Patrick: I have heard those Make Up shows are awesome... Glad that Chain and the Gang is still around
	11:35am BnowB: @đ¢ ÞäŦ - word!
	11:36am Robert: The Portable People Meter (PPM) is system developed by Arbitron (now Nielsen Audio) to measure how many people are exposed or listening to individual radio stations and television stations, including cable television. The PPM is worn like a pager, and detects hidden audio tones within a station or network's audio stream, logging each time it finds such a signal.
	11:38am đ¢ ÞäŦ: I saw Make-Up couple times back in the day, some of the best shows I've seen. Never got to see Nation of Ulysses though, dangit.
	11:40am đ¢ ÞäŦ: By the way, Svenonius's books are great too. He's a great writer.
	11:40am Ike: @Itzall, no argument here! I enjoy observing the (mostly stupid) movements of the commercial radio market, but not listening to it. The left side of the dial is the right place to be.
	11:43am Polyus: Oh gosh nobody told me there would be learning involved.
	11:44am βrian: "The extreme left," as WCBN says.
	11:49am BnowB: Heard Liz the other night or day.. on radio and whatever it was i just thought she amazing her show amazing. girl power
	11:54am BnowB: And.. Why when we touch the frayed wire our power chords; don't we get a shock?
	11:54am BnowB: on .. on our on our power chords... power chords hehe
	11:56am Sem Chumbo: Goodbye, summertime. Thank you, Trouble. See you and modern worlders next time, as Fall begins.
	11:56am βrian: Coming up: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org...
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning, and for all the good words! see you next week
	11:57am Itzall Ablurr: Porgy!
	11:57am BnowB: Ty trouble namaste
	11:57am blee: That is one gut wrenching "summertime." I have shivers.
	11:57am annie: thanks for the great show today, trouble!
	11:58am Priscilla: Thanks Trouble
	12:01pm Passaic River Blues: This artwork is superb!
