	8:57am Davee: Good morning, the artwork is really cool
	9:03am Webhamster Henry: Want me to help shrink today's art? it's big!
	9:05am Trouble: yes pelase!!! @webhamster
	9:05am jdaFromCologne: not my thing – seems i am in trouble …
	9:06am riley: Good Asheville chilly mountain morning to all!
	9:06am TDK60: Trouble, I'm counting on you to help me through this morning when the weather is so corporatist and nationalist nasty.
	9:07am melinda: Cool art! Good morning!
	9:09am Webhamster Henry: @trouble -- Check your Email!
	9:13am sphere: hello peops
	9:15am Sem: Greets, Trouble, and all.
	9:16am Sem: The irrepressible Mark E.
	9:16am meredith: Mark E... the poet. thank you <3
	9:17am northguineahills: What Sem and meredith said....
	9:18am krissy b in Montclair: Today should just 100% be dedicated to Mark E. Smith every show on this dang station
	9:19am d[-_-]b: Greetings.
	9:20am TDK60: Ah, The Fall, the snotty, dour Mancunians with their unique sound -- I love it. But it doesn't sound like Smith was the nicest fellow to come into contact with.
	9:20am jmr3: @krissy - agreed
	9:21am Guido from Cologne: Great artwork! Cudos to the Webhamster.
	9:23am The Oscar: Mornin' all! Sad about MES, but looking forward to this week on FMU-- I have a feeling it will be like when Michael Jackson died on "mainstream" radio.
	9:23am krissy b in Montclair: What is this songgggg I wanna favorite it
	9:24am MD: Goiod Morning World! Trouble...First 100 days...??? Is the Rich guy going to do what he says???
	9:24am Chris from DC: Is it january o'clock already? I must be running late.
	9:25am MD: GOLOD Morning!!! I Done Made a new word!!!
	9:26am pantz: The Mighty GOLOD bestows upon us another morning! Praise be GOLOD!
	9:27am sphere: Beware the nefarious DOLOG and embrace the mighty GOLOD!
	9:28am Chris from DC: GOLOD is my copilot
	9:29am MD: Da Fall of Da Fall???
	9:29am MD: They will always live in US!!!
	9:29am Ken From Hyde Park: January, where the richest of the rich gather in Davos to determine how much money to take and from whom.
	9:30am thatpatsmith: If there's a rock and roll bardo, you know Mark. E is shaking it up
	9:32am Webhamster Henry: @Ken from Hyde Park The rich are just not rich enough. plus.google.com...
	9:33am Lixiviated Life: the fall continues... irresistible force of the flesh wheel claims us all the fall continues... irresistible force of the flesh wheel claims us all the fall continues... irresistible force of the flesh wheel claims us all the fall continues... irresistible force of the flesh wheel claims us all the fall continues..
	9:33am MD: Davos Sounds like a City in Game of Throwns! Or an Evil Planet in Star Wars!!! They are all saying.."How can we turn the 99% into Soilent Green? And not let on we are doing it?"
	9:33am The Oscar: I like to imagine that hypothetical "jam session" everyone imagines with the dead rock stars in heaven, and Mark E. Smith showing up and firing them all.
	9:33am sphere: @ Ken from HP - There was a good article in the NYT about how Trump is ripping the mask of benevolence from Davos--showing it as a bunch of greedheads who are thinking "well, Trump is everything that Davos is supposed to hate but he is making us a ton of money."
	9:34am melinda: Nice to hear the Fall.
	9:35am SadSackSuperman: I was 10 when John Lennon died. I had just gotten into the Beatles, and a local Philly station played Beatles A-Z on repeat for what seemed to be the whole week, and now it's in my blood. Brutal Times call for Beautiful Measures. Bring on the Fall!
	9:37am melinda: I am useless on both Macs and PCs.
	9:38am The Oscar: Perhaps fittingly, I heard the news in the transitional banter between Duane's Masekela tribute and Irwin's Joe Frank tribute. At first I thought they were joking!
	9:38am Adrian in London: The 'w' button isn;t really working on my MacBook at home, which makes it rather challenging at the moment.
	9:39am sphere: @SadSackSuperman - May I have permission to use your epigram "Brutal times call for beautiful measures" in the future? That is very well said.
	9:39am Ken From Hyde Park: If it weren't for WFMU, I probably wouldn't have known MES or The Fall. Thanks for enlightening me about them over the years.
	9:40am meredith: @The Oscar. hah. yes
	9:40am TDK60: Adrian -- I am glad to hear the Realtor in Chief canceled his trip to England.
	9:41am melinda: I missed the Masekela tribute, will have to go to archives. Looking forward to more Fall tributes.
	9:42am Webhamster Henry: The Masekela show was great, so was Joe Frank! There are DJs who do tributes to the living once in a while.
	9:44am TDK60: Yeah, betcha Fabio will do a Fall segment, and we'll get totally wired.
	9:48am Wild Neil: Peace all. I heard about Davos on Catholic Radio. It should be interesting considering the people assembled on Davos are (assumed by me) to be globalists whereas Trump is a nationalist. Hopefully this will help our economy.
	9:49am TDK60: "Our" economy? Not.
	9:50am northguineahills: @Ken: My college gf had "i am kurious oranj", but I didn't get into the Fall until I found "the palace of swords reversed" at an NPR record sale the summer after my sophomore year.
	9:50am Wild Neil: @TDK-don't know where you are, but I mean US economy.
	9:51am TDK60: I'm in the US, run by the ultra rich. It's not my economy but theirs.
	9:51am Chris from DC: Digging this Lake Ruth a lot.
	9:52am Wild Neil: @TDK-corporations are in bed with government to be sure. It's been that way at least 50 years now.
	9:52am northguineahills: the only -ist Trump is is preceded by 'narcissis'.
	9:53am βrian: ... and egoist, misogynist ... (the list goes on).
	9:53am SadSackSuperman: @sphere You can do with that line what you will, but the copyright is mine, if posting it here should bestow upon me such legal protections. Be well.
	9:54am Wild Neil: Never mind, I forgot this is an echo chamber. Ignore me.
	9:55am βrian: "traitor" didn't rhyme so ...
	9:55am sphere: @SadSackSuperman - Right-o. I was just planning to use it in conversation, is all. :)
	9:55am Susan C.: I'm a huge Michaela fan. Thank you, Trouble!
	9:57am JakeGould: Kinda tired of people being shocked at Trump’s behavior. When was his behavior ever acceptable? 1+ year into this mess and I honestly think he’ll get re-elected in 2020 at this rate. Maybe a more “reasonable” Republican will come in and take over; I mean George W. Bush has a high approval rating nowadays, right? And all of the stupid witty tote bags and t-shirts in the world will not change that. Anyway, I LIKE THIS SHOW!!!
	9:59am TDK60: "W" = a war criminal. So was Obama.
	9:59am northguineahills: now, the people surrounding Trump may have specific ideologies, it just matters who talked w/ him last.
	9:59am Chris from DC: YES
	10:00am JakeGould: @TDK60: OMFG! REALLY??!?!?! That is what I mean. People see Dubya as more reasonable. Quick! Name ONE Democratic candidate for 2020… There. You see!
	10:00am Andy: I first heard The Fall on David's "Inner Ear Detour" -- Dr. Buck's Letter. Thank you to MES, all of the members of The Fall, and WFMU for years of great and unique music.
	10:01am sphere: Turns out you do not need a copyright notice to gain copyright protection since 3/1/1989: fairuse.stanford.edu...
	10:01am JakeGould: I really like the Brix Smith era of the Fall. At least some joy and life in the middle of the dourness of Mark E.
	10:02am TomDash: c.r.e.e.p. is a favorite. Spun it on the radio many, many times...first turned onto them by my older brother dubbing cassette for me in high school mid-80s; it was the Brix era so it will always be a sentimental favorite period.
	10:02am sphere: @JakeGould - in 2017, the Dems rolled over the Republicans in special elections and won a Senate seat too. Don't underestimate them.
	10:03am melinda: @Jake I know what you mean. If shock and outrage lead to strategic action then it's a good thing, but too often it does not.
	10:04am JakeGould: @sphere: Senate and Congressional seats are one thing. On a national level, who can go toe-to-toe against the Republicans come 2020? Name me ONE person who can be a candidate. An effective one.
	10:04am northguineahills: @JakeGould: Yeah, good point on Brix Smith.
	10:04am Chris from DC: Oh, thanks, did not know about that Lake Ruth gig here.
	10:05am Wild Neil: I see Trump as an outsider who is challenging a rigged system.The Republican Party per se is for the most part a waste of space. They left me, I didn't leave them. They are sellouts and whores. That is my opinion. However, I think Barack Obama did 2 things right: 1. He opened talks with Cuba. That should have happened like 40 years ago. 2. He extended unemployment insurance in 2009-2010 when I was out of work a year. THAT being said I will always be aligned with Trump. I think he is doing a good job, from my perspective. From most of your points of view you probably think I am an uneducated redneck. Actually, I am an educated redneck. There are a LOT of people who voted for Trump who are keeping it quiet for fear of reprisals.
	10:09am pantz: Trump is doing a good job, huh? What's his handicap now?
	10:09am sphere: @JakeGould - I can think of more than one Dem who would be good Presidential candidate, but I don't want to get too far in the weeds. Just say that I disagree. @ Wild Neil - what pantz said.
	10:09am SSS: The reprisals for voting for trump will be visited on all of us. Don't for a second think that even he knows what they will be.
	10:10am Wild Neil: @Jake Gould-that Dem candidate is probably being groomed right now. @Pantz-yes, from my Catholic perspective he got a pro-life judge on SCOTUS. THAT ALONE makes it all worth it to me.
	10:11am Dean: The new Hollie Cook arrived at home two days ago. It's lovely.
	10:12am melinda: @Neil I think he is doing a horrible job but I don't think you are an uneducated redneck. Also, a lot of the current horribleness is from the Republican congress, not just the prez.
	10:12am northguineahills: This Hollie Cook has a nice old-school lovers rock feel (it sounds if small change was working the decks).
	10:12am SSS: Why not legislate through admitting a belief in magic? Immaculate legislation.
	10:13am Wild Neil: The Republican congress has been an opposition party for so long, they don't know how to get anything done. I heard that on the radio and I think its true.
	10:14am βrian: The GOP has no interest in preserving life. You can see that in their funding priorities. Government intervention in personal health matters is all about control and subjugation. Cuz once a kid is born, that kid is of no use to Republicans.
	10:14am Polyus: Haha, fear of reprisals? As opposed to agencies like DOJ and enforcement bodies like ICE used for real, actual intimidation and reprisals against activists, immigrants - basically anyone not seen as making America great again. And please spare me the racially coded language like “globalist”. That was never used outside places like Stormfront before this administration.
	10:14am mb: Hello to Trouble and all the peoples
	10:15am JakeGould: Anyone see a cool animal today?
	10:15am Polyus: Sorry Trouble, some things just kinda get under my skin.
	10:16am Trouble: @jake i did see a handsome dog on the way to the station, very regal and white fuzzy. ready for the iditarod
	10:16am SSS: Wild Neil, these people know that we are complacent until our myths are threatened. They work us like tiny violins. We all need to realize that we do not know god, so if you want to use what you think he said, that is fine, just do not think you can be sure what he meant.
	10:16am βrian: (Well, aside from cannon fodder and cheap labor, I suppose.)
	10:17am Wild Neil: OK, the racist accusations are now appearing because I don't believe in a one-world government. No coding there. But its a dog whistle because you say it is.
	10:17am SSS: I'll stop.
	10:17am Wild Neil: OK I'm done.
	10:17am listener james from westwood: Holy cow, this is the same group that does that one track in all the Police Academy movies!
	10:17am northguineahills: To be fair, "globalist", originally meant corporatist, but that was over 20 years ago when NAFTA was being negotiated. I'm not sure what it refers to any more.
	10:19am melinda: @Polyus there are different degrees of reprisals, I agree, but Neil's point about people not feeling comfortable voicing Trump support is one we should pay attention to. I would rather know where people stand and think a general climate of open hostility towards opposing political views isn't going to move us forward.
	10:19am Wild Neil: I tapped out. Bimbo Jet is kinda like tangerine dream.
	10:19am JakeGould: @Trouble: So cool! I sprained my ankle so I had to spend more time just hanging out at home than usual this past weekend. Managed to finally get my next door neighbor’s dog to trust me. Cutest dog ever! A mix between a Dachshund and a Yorkie. Like a tiny, furry long Chewbacca. Found out the dog is a rescue dog. It an it’s 7 siblings were found in a basement in the Lower East Side. They just all lived in that dank basement. But because of that she is sensitive to sounds from the front door… Also scare of stray cats since they bullied the dogs in the basement. But happy I am friends with it now!!!
	10:19am Lixiviated Life: Don't be deceived Trump is an immoral man serving no one's interests but his own. No virtue One dimension His greatest deed will be to return to the void as we all will (if the gods are merciful his will be sooner rather than later)
	10:20am βrian: I used to be fascinated by globes when I was a kid. The bigger the better, especially if there was more detail. I was a globalist from the get go.
	10:20am Wild Neil: @Jake Gould-is it therefore a "Dorkie"?
	10:20am JakeGould: “Trump is an immoral man serving no one's interests but his own.” ZOMG!!! REALLY?!!?!? TELL ME MORE! But have you seen any cool animals lately? Like even a bird or a squirrel.
	10:20am SSS: I do not hope for anyone death, but for everyone's fullest awareness.
	10:21am melinda: I have only seen animals online thus far.@Brian I sort of miss having a globe in the house. I should get one.
	10:21am Polyus: It has its roots in antisemitic conspiracy theories. People like Bannon and Miller have put it in mainstream political discourse, and they know damn well what they are doing, even if a lot of Trump supporters don’t. That is all I am saying, not calling you names specifically.
	10:21am Wild Neil: Look, I don't dislike anybody here, sorry to rant. Sometimes I just crack. I'm not trying to punish anybody. But it is true, I really am afraid as Melinda points out. OK, now I'm really done.
	10:22am Trouble: hey music fans, can we toss the trump ball out of the park?
	10:22am northguineahills: Esquivel! I concur w/ melinda
	10:22am OTB: Yay! Esquivel!
	10:22am Wild Neil: Done and done. Sorry, Trouble!
	10:22am queems: thanks trouble
	10:23am βrian: I'd much rather have a large-scale interactive globe than one of those Google or Amazon Commerce Speakers. (Oy, talk about Big Brother.)
	10:24am Lixiviated Life: ... back, back, back, to the warning track... see ya!
	10:24am Webhamster Henry: An Esquivel 100 tribute would have been a good show this week! I have some air checks of the old WFMU "Cocktail Hour" and "The Big Luau".
	10:24am Itzall Ablurr: Esquivel Space-age music from a sparkling future that is in the past.
	10:25am JakeGould: Anyone here have a smart speaker that they yell at?
	10:26am Wild Neil: I just yell at the TV and the radio. But they never answer back. Guess I'm an old man now.
	10:26am pantz: Mucha Muchacha!
	10:27am βrian: Wait, is this David Sedaris?
	10:27am zopa: Thanks for Billie, Trouble.
	10:30am TDK60: I can talk about social issues here, along with music, or dogs; not telling anyone what to believe.
	10:30am BronwynB: morning trouble and everyone!
	10:30am JakeGould: FWIW, my neighbors dog is cute but one thing I did to calm her down is to repeatedly say—literally—“Why the fuck are you so yappy all the time? I am not going to hurt you! Calm the fuck down.” Dogs like straight talk.
	10:30am βrian: I still own a duck call.
	10:31am Itzall Ablurr: Sandhill cranes?
	10:32am kevlicki: Morning Trouble and all! Who did a Masakela tribute this week? I’d love to give that a listen!
	10:33am Joshua Fried: This is the same Trouble who has done projections recently at some cool new music-ish events...?
	10:33am Dean: Discogs reports that track was recorded at Eddie Condon Show, August 27th, 1949. https://www.discogs.com/Billie-Holiday-1949-52-Radio-And-TV-Broadcasts/release/4220867
	10:33am ⓔⓘⓚ: @WN, I appreciate that we can discuss these things and it doesn't devolve into name-calling and recriminations. That's positive, at least.
	10:34am northguineahills: "we all want to make Latin music" (see Senor Coconut)
	10:35am Wild Neil: Thanks "Eik"!
	10:35am βrian: Very easy to get to if you're in Hoboken!
	10:35am steveo: When I'm a famous trombonist, my stage name will be Hendrix Zeppelin.
	10:35am Lixiviated Life: @ ⓔⓘⓚ Agreed.
	10:35am Dean: Larry Grogan played some Masekela last night. I pre-ordered the Hollie Cook late last year. A wine dealer in my neighborhood has a cool Television poster hanging in his store. Chatting about the band, he intimated that Lloyd had perhaps died. When I returned to the store, I corrected the matter.
	10:35am Passaic River Blues: @Kevlicki: Duane did an excellent tribute yesterday: www.wfmu.org...
	10:36am northguineahills: I Agree w/ the above....
	10:36am Mister Dobalina: Sold OUT! Ughh....
	10:36am Lixiviated Life: @ kevlicki Check out the archive for Duane Train
	10:36am zopa: @kevlicki: Duane Train
	10:39am βrian: @PRBs: Thanks for that.
	10:40am βrian: Aucune leçon quotidienne, DJ Trouble ?
	10:42am βrian: (Leçon hebdomadaire, I guess I mean.)
	10:44am queems: roster and imposter- i’m impressed
	10:45am Ken From Hyde Park: Also, $mall ¢hange played some Hugh Masakela overnight, if you also enjoy laser blasters on top. www.wfmu.org...
	10:48am Kerbo: sounds so good through headphones
	10:49am BronwynB: you guys, every time i drink coffee i am suddenly inundated with the manic energy of a 6-year-old on a sugar bender. we're talking starbucks "tall" coffees that are mostly milk here, so like 3 ounces of coffee. what is wrong with me?
	10:49am Lewis: with respect to Masakela - Duane did his whole show yesterday afternoon (nearly missed a really important meeting over that one). would be surprised if Doug doesn't do something tomorrow on the GTD stream as well.
	10:49am BronwynB: sdfdsjfdsjsdlk coffeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
	10:50am steveo: In times when I've quit caffeine for several weeks, I found that a small amount of coffee made me absolutely insane.
	10:50am BronwynB: duane's HM tribute was great. GREAT!
	10:51am Joe McG: I was just thinking of Anne Briggs this morning. Thanks, Trouble!
	10:51am BronwynB: dammit guys, i started drinking coffee again to have more energy and get more done at work, instead it's just given me more energy to type enthusiastic playlist comments
	10:51am queems: @bronwyn i drink decaf or the same thing happens to me
	10:52am βrian: My morning poison is a triple espresso, though sometimes I forget and barely miss it.
	10:52am Wild Neil: @Bronwyn-that is exactly the effect I am after when I drink some coffee! Seriously, you might be having some kind of reaction. Tea is a little weaker for caffeine, Green Tea is good for you, it can help you live longer. Try it! It takes the edge off the caffeine craving too.
	10:53am listener james from westwood: @BronwyonB: I stopped drinking daily caffeine some years back, so when I DO caffeinate, I'm a total chatterbox. You'll get my life story for the price of a cup of full-strength java.
	10:53am TDK60: Yerba mate is my fave.
	10:54am Lewis: I am anxiously waiting for the seminar room to clear so that I can get to the coffee....
	10:54am Wild Neil: I LOVE LOVE LOVE coffee. It's my favorite drug. And its yummy!
	10:54am βrian: If you're drinking a lighter roast, you might try shifting to a dark roast which generally has less caffeine. (for a given amount of coffee beans.)
	10:55am northguineahills: @TDK60: Drinking yerba mate right now.
	10:55am ɛɨk: Agreed, green tea is better. But green teas vary wildly in taste, quality, and caffeine levels. For teabags, I recommend Trader Joe's, or in a pinch, Salada. Many of the others are vile, or taste like nothing, or worst of all, taste fishy. For loose leaf, Ten Ren.
	10:55am βrian: Seminarians have an insatiable thirst for coffee, I hear.
	10:55am northguineahills: mate in the morning, green tea in the afternoon.
	10:56am northguineahills: anne briggs into duncan brown makes me happy!
	10:56am βrian: @NGH: eh, a little too much information, maybe?
	10:56am Ken From Hyde Park: @Bronwyn - I hear a shot of whiskey in the coffee will straighten a person right out.
	10:56am Dean: Browne, init?
	10:56am Chris from DC: No caffeine after late morning except maybe on weekends. Can't do it anymore.
	10:56am TDK60: Coffee is strongest, but sometimes gets me totally wired.
	10:56am JakeGould: Green tea can fuck you up. That’s something I said to my neighbor’s dog that helped me gain its trust.
	10:57am Adrian in London: @TDK60 OK, I'll play along: "Totally wired?!"
	10:58am TDK60: Adrian -- that was a smash hit by those dour Mancunians.
	10:59am kevlicki: Thanks all
	10:59am queems: i love to scream this one in my shower
	11:00am Lewis: very nice set!
	11:00am steveo: this song brings out some emotions
	11:01am melinda: @Bronwyn maybe you have the genes for rapid caffeine metabolism, which means a quicker buzz. I get that and had to quit the caffeine, except for little bits here and there. Tea caffeine is absorbed more slowly, they say.
	11:03am OTB: Did I ever think I would enjoy Fleetwood Mac? No, I did not.
	11:03am steveo: 1977
	11:03am Lewis: ok, now I am waiting for the song to end so that I can go and get more coffee
	11:03am Adrian in London: @TDK60 I know, I was singing along
	11:04am Dean: How is that FM live album from 1980? Saw an affordable used copy recently.
	11:04am Trouble: merci@lewis
	11:04am queems: these birds sound like pigs, i love it
	11:04am βrian: Never owned a goose call, though.
	11:05am Itzall Ablurr: Back from getting MOREcoffee, did I miss any gems?
	11:06am Bill W: The darkest sixth of the year is over!
	11:06am βrian: Having more herring in one's diet seems to help one through the darker months.
	11:08am βrian: That'll cost you $0.00 here in Madison.
	11:08am Davee: DARN GOVERMENT!
	11:09am emily: oh no, a neighbor ratted you out for chickens. then you have to pork out $$$. roosters and parking. riveted in brooklyn!
	11:09am Megaroni: Lucky you Trouble to hear a rooster as we approach the end of the yin rooster year! xo
	11:09am TDK60: Forgot to say, I saw Hugh Masekela at Carnegie Hall around 2010: wondrous.
	11:09am blee: Maybe it's part of an underground rooster fight club?
	11:09am Lewis: That's madison WISCONSIN, not to be confused with the one in NJ
	11:10am MUWFInMA: i once won a half dozen chicks at auction, two ended up eating so much.... they were roosters
	11:11am Phil: My grandmother had a cow in Jersey City. But that was 100 years ago.
	11:11am queems: i want chickens but i have a cat and like 80 plants so i don’t need anymore to take care of
	11:12am βrian: @Lewis: Exactly. Madison.
	11:13am melinda: I love the idea of a private issue New Age music from 1950-1990 comp., I don't think of New Age music happening in the 50s.
	11:13am Dean: There's a mountain lion cub in my neck of the "woods."
	11:14am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: are you a fan of Katherine Mansfield? I am reading a collection with an introduction by Elizabeth Bowen that is knock-you-down good. Also, the Joe Bataan broadcast last week was aces; had to listen on the archives as I was traveling, but then it felt like a gift to myself.
	11:15am TDK60: Now that we're safely on animals, does anyone know the punchline to a joke that was on the comments board here several years back? : What's the difference between a duck call and an accordion? I answered with the wrong answer but thought it was a funny answer anyway. Anyone know the joke?
	11:16am zopa: Q: What is the definition of an optimist? A: An accordion player with a pager.
	11:17am melinda: haha
	11:17am queems: this is a very pretty song
	11:17am βrian: We had an incredibly hard time finding an accordion player for our wedding. Few and far between.
	11:19am Dean: Thanks to a comment here some time ago, I checked out, read, and admired Muriel Spark's The Girls of Slender Means. Now a mention of Katherine Mansfield and Elizabeth Bowen intrigues me...but I only have so much time to read! I'm about 1/4 way through Sir Walter Scott's Waverly, which is a delight, then I hope to move on to Brian Aldiss's An Age (pub'd as Cryptozoic in the US) and Virginia Woolf's The Waves.
	11:19am TDK60: Brian - But wait - dreadlocked hipster accordionist buskers were everywhere not so long ago.
	11:19am Trouble: i don't know her passaic river blues. just looked her up: NZ! reading janet frame right now, love her. AND i thought of you: just finished a book by harriet paige ' man with a seagull on his head' quite magical. can mail it to you if you like.
	11:20am steveo: a band I enjoy, Bombay Rickey, has an accordion and plays often at Barbés in Park Slope (have also played live on FMU)...
	11:20am Dean: Maybe that's the answer to your joke query, TDK60. You're more likely to find a duck call at a wedding.
	11:21am TDK60: My wrong answer: You wouldn't take an accordion hunting.
	11:21am βrian: What we really wanted was a bandoneon player.
	11:23am Lewis: @TDK - pretty good (and your comedic timing is exquisite)
	11:23am βrian: Florencia couldn't make it. www.youtube.com...
	11:23am Passaic River Blues: @Dean: I've been meaning to read that Aldiss for a long time. Sounds fantastic. @Trouble: She's phenomenal. I should get this to you. And I love the title there--"Man with a Seagull on His Head". Just can't go wrong with that!
	11:23am steveo: wonderful show today, Trouble; this set is just gorgeous
	11:25am Dean: I read Cryptozoic c.'77 on a recommendation. I have only a vague recollection of it, and I tend not to drift into science fiction. Yet the book is dedicated to James Blish for his Cities in Flight series, and I have a hankering to go there, too. And then Samuel Delaney's Dhalgren, and so forth. But first, Virginia Woolf.
	11:27am TDK60: Ah, 1982.
	11:29am Polyus: Currently reading Enemies Of The System by Aldiss. Hothouse (aka The Long Afternoon of Earth) is always a good place to start.
	11:30am Passaic River Blues: @Dean: I have had "Dhalgren" on a shelf near my bed for something like five years. I also rarely dip into science fiction but that one I'd like to crack someday, along with Aldiss.
	11:30am Polyus: And I enjoyed Cryptozoic, though apparently the author himself did not think much of it.
	11:33am AndrewC.: It's always confusing when someone plays another show's bed music.
	11:34am northguineahills: Ahh, this Sun Ra is one of Jesse Kamisky's bed musics...
	11:34am Trouble: @passaic can you email me? troubleatwfmudotorg and we can figure out how to get harriet paige to you. i had to order it from uk, so it's not around here
	11:35am Polyus: Jeff at destination:Out uses it too. This is the first time I have heard the whole thing though.
	11:35am Rich in Washington: Wow. Sun Ra's on Bandcamp.
	11:36am TDK60: Is that a duck call in the Sun Ra tune?
	11:36am AndrewC.: Yes, it sounds weird without Jeff talking over it :)
	11:36am Rich in Washington: I've always loved this track. It's like a theme song from a sitcom in the Eraserhead universe.
	11:36am northguineahills: You're correct, Polyus
	11:37am Dean: "Is that a duck call in the Sun Ra tune?" That, or an accordion. Or a bandoneon.
	11:39am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: Will do!
	11:39am TDK60: Is there a duck call joke website? I know there are banjo joke sites.
	11:41am βrian: What about tattoo joke sites?
	11:42am Wild Neil: This Hunllef sounds like 1982 or Blade Runner for some reason.
	11:43am zopa: Q: What says "Quick, Quick!"? A: A duck with the hiccups
	11:45am βrian: Now, an accordionist with the hiccups ...
	11:46am TDK60: Speaking of writers, does anyone like Urusla K. LeGuin, who just passed? -- one of my all time faves.
	11:46am Dean: My daughter likes to tell iterations of this joke: Knock, knock! Who's there? Interrupting duck. Interrup-- QUACK!
	11:48am zopa: @βrian: www.allmusic.com...
	11:49am Lewis: @TDK60 - just begun digging into her oeuvre... I like her alot so far...
	11:50am Wild Neil: The Donzer-clicky star!
	11:50am TDK60: Which book, Lewis?
	11:51am βrian: "Coin-coin," dit le canard.
	11:51am Lewis: mostly short stories in collections - can't remember any titles at the moment just a sense that when choosing she is a first choice...
	11:52am βrian: @zopa: So there really is nothing new under the sun.
	11:53am TDK60: Is there such a thing as Fall jokes?
	11:55am Rich in Washington: @TDK60: most revolve around the band's immense membership over the years. Like, "I just looked, and turns out I was in The Fall for about two months in 1981".
	11:55am zopa: How do you fix a broken pumpkin? With a pumpkin patch
	11:56am zopa: Ohhh. The band, not the season. Sorry. I'll see myself out...
	11:56am βrian: Coming up on the hour: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org... Thanks, Trouble, for the musical peregrination.
	11:56am Dean: Buddy of mine was in the band The Autumns.
	11:56am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning!
	11:57am steveo: thank you Trouble
	11:57am Michael 98145: trouble is always welcome
	11:57am Adrian in London: @Dean I think I have one of their records. On Bella Union?
	11:58am ⓔⓚⓔⓔ: @Rich in W., HA HA HA HA HA good one
	11:59am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Rich in Washington: A woman goes into a tattoo parlor, and asks for a tattoo of Nick Cave on one inner thigh, and Iggy Pop on the other. After it's done, she's displeased with the likenesses and complains bitterly. The tattoo artist, indignantly, tells her "look lady! Go outside and show the first person my work, and they'll immediately recognize their faces!" She hautily complies, going outside into the late night pavement. She sees a teetering skid row bum, stops him and proceeds to hike her skirt to show off her new tattoos. The drunk reels a bit, covers one eye for focus, and says "I don't know who the two guys on your legs are, but that rotten sonofabitch in the middle is Mark E. Smith of The Fall!"
	11:59am Rich in Washington: Thank you, Trouble. Sorry for my stupid, long joke.

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!

	9:05am jdaFromCologne: not my thing – seems i am in trouble …
	9:06am riley: Good Asheville chilly mountain morning to all!
	9:06am TDK60: Trouble, I'm counting on you to help me through this morning when the weather is so corporatist and nationalist nasty.
	9:07am melinda: Cool art! Good morning!
	9:09am Webhamster Henry: @trouble -- Check your Email!
	9:13am sphere: hello peops
	9:15am Sem: Greets, Trouble, and all.
	9:16am Sem: The irrepressible Mark E.
	9:16am meredith: Mark E... the poet. thank you <3
	9:17am northguineahills: What Sem and meredith said....
	9:18am krissy b in Montclair: Today should just 100% be dedicated to Mark E. Smith every show on this dang station
	9:19am d[-_-]b: Greetings.
	9:20am TDK60: Ah, The Fall, the snotty, dour Mancunians with their unique sound -- I love it. But it doesn't sound like Smith was the nicest fellow to come into contact with.
	9:20am jmr3: @krissy - agreed
	9:21am Guido from Cologne: Great artwork! Cudos to the Webhamster.
	9:23am The Oscar: Mornin' all! Sad about MES, but looking forward to this week on FMU-- I have a feeling it will be like when Michael Jackson died on "mainstream" radio.
	9:23am krissy b in Montclair: What is this songgggg I wanna favorite it
	9:24am MD: Goiod Morning World! Trouble...First 100 days...??? Is the Rich guy going to do what he says???
	9:24am Chris from DC: Is it january o'clock already? I must be running late.
	9:25am MD: GOLOD Morning!!! I Done Made a new word!!!
	9:26am pantz: The Mighty GOLOD bestows upon us another morning! Praise be GOLOD!
	9:27am sphere: Beware the nefarious DOLOG and embrace the mighty GOLOD!
	9:28am Chris from DC: GOLOD is my copilot
	9:29am MD: Da Fall of Da Fall???
	9:29am MD: They will always live in US!!!
	9:29am Ken From Hyde Park: January, where the richest of the rich gather in Davos to determine how much money to take and from whom.
	9:30am thatpatsmith: If there's a rock and roll bardo, you know Mark. E is shaking it up
	9:32am Webhamster Henry: @Ken from Hyde Park The rich are just not rich enough. plus.google.com...
	9:33am Lixiviated Life: the fall continues... irresistible force of the flesh wheel claims us all the fall continues... irresistible force of the flesh wheel claims us all the fall continues... irresistible force of the flesh wheel claims us all the fall continues... irresistible force of the flesh wheel claims us all the fall continues..
	9:33am MD: Davos Sounds like a City in Game of Throwns! Or an Evil Planet in Star Wars!!! They are all saying.."How can we turn the 99% into Soilent Green? And not let on we are doing it?"
	9:33am The Oscar: I like to imagine that hypothetical "jam session" everyone imagines with the dead rock stars in heaven, and Mark E. Smith showing up and firing them all.
	9:33am sphere: @ Ken from HP - There was a good article in the NYT about how Trump is ripping the mask of benevolence from Davos--showing it as a bunch of greedheads who are thinking "well, Trump is everything that Davos is supposed to hate but he is making us a ton of money."
	9:34am melinda: Nice to hear the Fall.
	9:35am SadSackSuperman: I was 10 when John Lennon died. I had just gotten into the Beatles, and a local Philly station played Beatles A-Z on repeat for what seemed to be the whole week, and now it's in my blood. Brutal Times call for Beautiful Measures. Bring on the Fall!
	9:37am melinda: I am useless on both Macs and PCs.
	9:38am The Oscar: Perhaps fittingly, I heard the news in the transitional banter between Duane's Masekela tribute and Irwin's Joe Frank tribute. At first I thought they were joking!
	9:38am Adrian in London: The 'w' button isn;t really working on my MacBook at home, which makes it rather challenging at the moment.
	9:39am sphere: @SadSackSuperman - May I have permission to use your epigram "Brutal times call for beautiful measures" in the future? That is very well said.
	9:39am Ken From Hyde Park: If it weren't for WFMU, I probably wouldn't have known MES or The Fall. Thanks for enlightening me about them over the years.
	9:40am meredith: @The Oscar. hah. yes
	9:40am TDK60: Adrian -- I am glad to hear the Realtor in Chief canceled his trip to England.
	9:41am melinda: I missed the Masekela tribute, will have to go to archives. Looking forward to more Fall tributes.
	9:42am Webhamster Henry: The Masekela show was great, so was Joe Frank! There are DJs who do tributes to the living once in a while.
	9:44am TDK60: Yeah, betcha Fabio will do a Fall segment, and we'll get totally wired.
	9:48am Wild Neil: Peace all. I heard about Davos on Catholic Radio. It should be interesting considering the people assembled on Davos are (assumed by me) to be globalists whereas Trump is a nationalist. Hopefully this will help our economy.
	9:49am TDK60: "Our" economy? Not.
	9:50am northguineahills: @Ken: My college gf had "i am kurious oranj", but I didn't get into the Fall until I found "the palace of swords reversed" at an NPR record sale the summer after my sophomore year.
	9:50am Wild Neil: @TDK-don't know where you are, but I mean US economy.
	9:51am TDK60: I'm in the US, run by the ultra rich. It's not my economy but theirs.
	9:51am Chris from DC: Digging this Lake Ruth a lot.
	9:52am Wild Neil: @TDK-corporations are in bed with government to be sure. It's been that way at least 50 years now.
	9:52am northguineahills: the only -ist Trump is is preceded by 'narcissis'.
	9:53am βrian: ... and egoist, misogynist ... (the list goes on).
	9:53am SadSackSuperman: @sphere You can do with that line what you will, but the copyright is mine, if posting it here should bestow upon me such legal protections. Be well.
	9:54am Wild Neil: Never mind, I forgot this is an echo chamber. Ignore me.
	9:55am βrian: "traitor" didn't rhyme so ...
	9:55am sphere: @SadSackSuperman - Right-o. I was just planning to use it in conversation, is all. :)
	9:55am Susan C.: I'm a huge Michaela fan. Thank you, Trouble!
	9:57am JakeGould: Kinda tired of people being shocked at Trump’s behavior. When was his behavior ever acceptable? 1+ year into this mess and I honestly think he’ll get re-elected in 2020 at this rate. Maybe a more “reasonable” Republican will come in and take over; I mean George W. Bush has a high approval rating nowadays, right? And all of the stupid witty tote bags and t-shirts in the world will not change that. Anyway, I LIKE THIS SHOW!!!
	9:59am TDK60: "W" = a war criminal. So was Obama.
	9:59am northguineahills: now, the people surrounding Trump may have specific ideologies, it just matters who talked w/ him last.
	9:59am Chris from DC: YES
	10:00am JakeGould: @TDK60: OMFG! REALLY??!?!?! That is what I mean. People see Dubya as more reasonable. Quick! Name ONE Democratic candidate for 2020… There. You see!
	10:00am Andy: I first heard The Fall on David's "Inner Ear Detour" -- Dr. Buck's Letter. Thank you to MES, all of the members of The Fall, and WFMU for years of great and unique music.
	10:01am sphere: Turns out you do not need a copyright notice to gain copyright protection since 3/1/1989: fairuse.stanford.edu...
	10:01am JakeGould: I really like the Brix Smith era of the Fall. At least some joy and life in the middle of the dourness of Mark E.
	10:02am TomDash: c.r.e.e.p. is a favorite. Spun it on the radio many, many times...first turned onto them by my older brother dubbing cassette for me in high school mid-80s; it was the Brix era so it will always be a sentimental favorite period.
	10:02am sphere: @JakeGould - in 2017, the Dems rolled over the Republicans in special elections and won a Senate seat too. Don't underestimate them.
	10:03am melinda: @Jake I know what you mean. If shock and outrage lead to strategic action then it's a good thing, but too often it does not.
	10:04am JakeGould: @sphere: Senate and Congressional seats are one thing. On a national level, who can go toe-to-toe against the Republicans come 2020? Name me ONE person who can be a candidate. An effective one.
	10:04am northguineahills: @JakeGould: Yeah, good point on Brix Smith.
	10:04am Chris from DC: Oh, thanks, did not know about that Lake Ruth gig here.
	10:05am Wild Neil: I see Trump as an outsider who is challenging a rigged system.The Republican Party per se is for the most part a waste of space. They left me, I didn't leave them. They are sellouts and whores. That is my opinion. However, I think Barack Obama did 2 things right: 1. He opened talks with Cuba. That should have happened like 40 years ago. 2. He extended unemployment insurance in 2009-2010 when I was out of work a year. THAT being said I will always be aligned with Trump. I think he is doing a good job, from my perspective. From most of your points of view you probably think I am an uneducated redneck. Actually, I am an educated redneck. There are a LOT of people who voted for Trump who are keeping it quiet for fear of reprisals.
	10:09am pantz: Trump is doing a good job, huh? What's his handicap now?
	10:09am sphere: @JakeGould - I can think of more than one Dem who would be good Presidential candidate, but I don't want to get too far in the weeds. Just say that I disagree. @ Wild Neil - what pantz said.
	10:09am SSS: The reprisals for voting for trump will be visited on all of us. Don't for a second think that even he knows what they will be.
	10:10am Wild Neil: @Jake Gould-that Dem candidate is probably being groomed right now. @Pantz-yes, from my Catholic perspective he got a pro-life judge on SCOTUS. THAT ALONE makes it all worth it to me.
	10:11am Dean: The new Hollie Cook arrived at home two days ago. It's lovely.
	10:12am melinda: @Neil I think he is doing a horrible job but I don't think you are an uneducated redneck. Also, a lot of the current horribleness is from the Republican congress, not just the prez.
	10:12am northguineahills: This Hollie Cook has a nice old-school lovers rock feel (it sounds if small change was working the decks).
	10:12am SSS: Why not legislate through admitting a belief in magic? Immaculate legislation.
	10:13am Wild Neil: The Republican congress has been an opposition party for so long, they don't know how to get anything done. I heard that on the radio and I think its true.
	10:14am βrian: The GOP has no interest in preserving life. You can see that in their funding priorities. Government intervention in personal health matters is all about control and subjugation. Cuz once a kid is born, that kid is of no use to Republicans.
	10:14am Polyus: Haha, fear of reprisals? As opposed to agencies like DOJ and enforcement bodies like ICE used for real, actual intimidation and reprisals against activists, immigrants - basically anyone not seen as making America great again. And please spare me the racially coded language like “globalist”. That was never used outside places like Stormfront before this administration.
	10:14am mb: Hello to Trouble and all the peoples
	10:15am JakeGould: Anyone see a cool animal today?
	10:15am Polyus: Sorry Trouble, some things just kinda get under my skin.
	10:16am Trouble: @jake i did see a handsome dog on the way to the station, very regal and white fuzzy. ready for the iditarod
	10:16am SSS: Wild Neil, these people know that we are complacent until our myths are threatened. They work us like tiny violins. We all need to realize that we do not know god, so if you want to use what you think he said, that is fine, just do not think you can be sure what he meant.
	10:16am βrian: (Well, aside from cannon fodder and cheap labor, I suppose.)
	10:17am Wild Neil: OK, the racist accusations are now appearing because I don't believe in a one-world government. No coding there. But its a dog whistle because you say it is.
	10:17am SSS: I'll stop.
	10:17am Wild Neil: OK I'm done.
	10:17am listener james from westwood: Holy cow, this is the same group that does that one track in all the Police Academy movies!
	10:17am northguineahills: To be fair, "globalist", originally meant corporatist, but that was over 20 years ago when NAFTA was being negotiated. I'm not sure what it refers to any more.
	10:19am melinda: @Polyus there are different degrees of reprisals, I agree, but Neil's point about people not feeling comfortable voicing Trump support is one we should pay attention to. I would rather know where people stand and think a general climate of open hostility towards opposing political views isn't going to move us forward.
	10:19am Wild Neil: I tapped out. Bimbo Jet is kinda like tangerine dream.
	10:19am JakeGould: @Trouble: So cool! I sprained my ankle so I had to spend more time just hanging out at home than usual this past weekend. Managed to finally get my next door neighbor’s dog to trust me. Cutest dog ever! A mix between a Dachshund and a Yorkie. Like a tiny, furry long Chewbacca. Found out the dog is a rescue dog. It an it’s 7 siblings were found in a basement in the Lower East Side. They just all lived in that dank basement. But because of that she is sensitive to sounds from the front door… Also scare of stray cats since they bullied the dogs in the basement. But happy I am friends with it now!!!
	10:19am Lixiviated Life: Don't be deceived Trump is an immoral man serving no one's interests but his own. No virtue One dimension His greatest deed will be to return to the void as we all will (if the gods are merciful his will be sooner rather than later)
	10:20am βrian: I used to be fascinated by globes when I was a kid. The bigger the better, especially if there was more detail. I was a globalist from the get go.
	10:20am Wild Neil: @Jake Gould-is it therefore a "Dorkie"?
	10:20am JakeGould: “Trump is an immoral man serving no one's interests but his own.” ZOMG!!! REALLY?!!?!? TELL ME MORE! But have you seen any cool animals lately? Like even a bird or a squirrel.
	10:20am SSS: I do not hope for anyone death, but for everyone's fullest awareness.
	10:21am melinda: I have only seen animals online thus far.@Brian I sort of miss having a globe in the house. I should get one.
	10:21am Polyus: It has its roots in antisemitic conspiracy theories. People like Bannon and Miller have put it in mainstream political discourse, and they know damn well what they are doing, even if a lot of Trump supporters don’t. That is all I am saying, not calling you names specifically.
	10:21am Wild Neil: Look, I don't dislike anybody here, sorry to rant. Sometimes I just crack. I'm not trying to punish anybody. But it is true, I really am afraid as Melinda points out. OK, now I'm really done.
	10:22am Trouble: hey music fans, can we toss the trump ball out of the park?
	10:22am northguineahills: Esquivel! I concur w/ melinda
	10:22am OTB: Yay! Esquivel!
	10:22am Wild Neil: Done and done. Sorry, Trouble!
	10:22am queems: thanks trouble
	10:23am βrian: I'd much rather have a large-scale interactive globe than one of those Google or Amazon Commerce Speakers. (Oy, talk about Big Brother.)
	10:24am Lixiviated Life: ... back, back, back, to the warning track... see ya!
	10:24am Webhamster Henry: An Esquivel 100 tribute would have been a good show this week! I have some air checks of the old WFMU "Cocktail Hour" and "The Big Luau".
	10:24am Itzall Ablurr: Esquivel Space-age music from a sparkling future that is in the past.
	10:25am JakeGould: Anyone here have a smart speaker that they yell at?
	10:26am Wild Neil: I just yell at the TV and the radio. But they never answer back. Guess I'm an old man now.
	10:26am pantz: Mucha Muchacha!
	10:27am βrian: Wait, is this David Sedaris?
	10:27am zopa: Thanks for Billie, Trouble.
	10:30am TDK60: I can talk about social issues here, along with music, or dogs; not telling anyone what to believe.
	10:30am BronwynB: morning trouble and everyone!
	10:30am JakeGould: FWIW, my neighbors dog is cute but one thing I did to calm her down is to repeatedly say—literally—“Why the fuck are you so yappy all the time? I am not going to hurt you! Calm the fuck down.” Dogs like straight talk.
	10:30am βrian: I still own a duck call.
	10:31am Itzall Ablurr: Sandhill cranes?
	10:32am kevlicki: Morning Trouble and all! Who did a Masakela tribute this week? I’d love to give that a listen!
	10:33am Joshua Fried: This is the same Trouble who has done projections recently at some cool new music-ish events...?
	10:33am Dean: Discogs reports that track was recorded at Eddie Condon Show, August 27th, 1949. https://www.discogs.com/Billie-Holiday-1949-52-Radio-And-TV-Broadcasts/release/4220867
	10:33am ⓔⓘⓚ: @WN, I appreciate that we can discuss these things and it doesn't devolve into name-calling and recriminations. That's positive, at least.
	10:34am northguineahills: "we all want to make Latin music" (see Senor Coconut)
	10:35am Wild Neil: Thanks "Eik"!
	10:35am βrian: Very easy to get to if you're in Hoboken!
	10:35am steveo: When I'm a famous trombonist, my stage name will be Hendrix Zeppelin.
	10:35am Lixiviated Life: @ ⓔⓘⓚ Agreed.
	10:35am Dean: Larry Grogan played some Masekela last night. I pre-ordered the Hollie Cook late last year. A wine dealer in my neighborhood has a cool Television poster hanging in his store. Chatting about the band, he intimated that Lloyd had perhaps died. When I returned to the store, I corrected the matter.
	10:35am Passaic River Blues: @Kevlicki: Duane did an excellent tribute yesterday: www.wfmu.org...
	10:36am northguineahills: I Agree w/ the above....
	10:36am Mister Dobalina: Sold OUT! Ughh....
	10:36am Lixiviated Life: @ kevlicki Check out the archive for Duane Train
	10:36am zopa: @kevlicki: Duane Train
	10:39am βrian: @PRBs: Thanks for that.
	10:40am βrian: Aucune leçon quotidienne, DJ Trouble ?
	10:42am βrian: (Leçon hebdomadaire, I guess I mean.)
	10:44am queems: roster and imposter- i’m impressed
	10:45am Ken From Hyde Park: Also, $mall ¢hange played some Hugh Masakela overnight, if you also enjoy laser blasters on top. www.wfmu.org...
	10:48am Kerbo: sounds so good through headphones
	10:49am BronwynB: you guys, every time i drink coffee i am suddenly inundated with the manic energy of a 6-year-old on a sugar bender. we're talking starbucks "tall" coffees that are mostly milk here, so like 3 ounces of coffee. what is wrong with me?
	10:49am Lewis: with respect to Masakela - Duane did his whole show yesterday afternoon (nearly missed a really important meeting over that one). would be surprised if Doug doesn't do something tomorrow on the GTD stream as well.
	10:49am BronwynB: sdfdsjfdsjsdlk coffeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
	10:50am steveo: In times when I've quit caffeine for several weeks, I found that a small amount of coffee made me absolutely insane.
	10:50am BronwynB: duane's HM tribute was great. GREAT!
	10:51am Joe McG: I was just thinking of Anne Briggs this morning. Thanks, Trouble!
	10:51am BronwynB: dammit guys, i started drinking coffee again to have more energy and get more done at work, instead it's just given me more energy to type enthusiastic playlist comments
	10:51am queems: @bronwyn i drink decaf or the same thing happens to me
	10:52am βrian: My morning poison is a triple espresso, though sometimes I forget and barely miss it.
	10:52am Wild Neil: @Bronwyn-that is exactly the effect I am after when I drink some coffee! Seriously, you might be having some kind of reaction. Tea is a little weaker for caffeine, Green Tea is good for you, it can help you live longer. Try it! It takes the edge off the caffeine craving too.
	10:53am listener james from westwood: @BronwyonB: I stopped drinking daily caffeine some years back, so when I DO caffeinate, I'm a total chatterbox. You'll get my life story for the price of a cup of full-strength java.
	10:53am TDK60: Yerba mate is my fave.
	10:54am Lewis: I am anxiously waiting for the seminar room to clear so that I can get to the coffee....
	10:54am Wild Neil: I LOVE LOVE LOVE coffee. It's my favorite drug. And its yummy!
	10:54am βrian: If you're drinking a lighter roast, you might try shifting to a dark roast which generally has less caffeine. (for a given amount of coffee beans.)
	10:55am northguineahills: @TDK60: Drinking yerba mate right now.
	10:55am ɛɨk: Agreed, green tea is better. But green teas vary wildly in taste, quality, and caffeine levels. For teabags, I recommend Trader Joe's, or in a pinch, Salada. Many of the others are vile, or taste like nothing, or worst of all, taste fishy. For loose leaf, Ten Ren.
	10:55am βrian: Seminarians have an insatiable thirst for coffee, I hear.
	10:55am northguineahills: mate in the morning, green tea in the afternoon.
	10:56am northguineahills: anne briggs into duncan brown makes me happy!
	10:56am βrian: @NGH: eh, a little too much information, maybe?
	10:56am Ken From Hyde Park: @Bronwyn - I hear a shot of whiskey in the coffee will straighten a person right out.
	10:56am Dean: Browne, init?
	10:56am Chris from DC: No caffeine after late morning except maybe on weekends. Can't do it anymore.
	10:56am TDK60: Coffee is strongest, but sometimes gets me totally wired.
	10:56am JakeGould: Green tea can fuck you up. That’s something I said to my neighbor’s dog that helped me gain its trust.
	10:57am Adrian in London: @TDK60 OK, I'll play along: "Totally wired?!"
	10:58am TDK60: Adrian -- that was a smash hit by those dour Mancunians.
	10:59am kevlicki: Thanks all
	10:59am queems: i love to scream this one in my shower
	11:00am Lewis: very nice set!
	11:00am steveo: this song brings out some emotions
	11:01am melinda: @Bronwyn maybe you have the genes for rapid caffeine metabolism, which means a quicker buzz. I get that and had to quit the caffeine, except for little bits here and there. Tea caffeine is absorbed more slowly, they say.
	11:03am OTB: Did I ever think I would enjoy Fleetwood Mac? No, I did not.
	11:03am steveo: 1977
	11:03am Lewis: ok, now I am waiting for the song to end so that I can go and get more coffee
	11:03am Adrian in London: @TDK60 I know, I was singing along
	11:04am Dean: How is that FM live album from 1980? Saw an affordable used copy recently.
	11:04am Trouble: merci@lewis
	11:04am queems: these birds sound like pigs, i love it
	11:04am βrian: Never owned a goose call, though.
	11:05am Itzall Ablurr: Back from getting MOREcoffee, did I miss any gems?
	11:06am Bill W: The darkest sixth of the year is over!
	11:06am βrian: Having more herring in one's diet seems to help one through the darker months.
	11:08am βrian: That'll cost you $0.00 here in Madison.
	11:08am Davee: DARN GOVERMENT!
	11:09am emily: oh no, a neighbor ratted you out for chickens. then you have to pork out $$$. roosters and parking. riveted in brooklyn!
	11:09am Megaroni: Lucky you Trouble to hear a rooster as we approach the end of the yin rooster year! xo
	11:09am TDK60: Forgot to say, I saw Hugh Masekela at Carnegie Hall around 2010: wondrous.
	11:09am blee: Maybe it's part of an underground rooster fight club?
	11:09am Lewis: That's madison WISCONSIN, not to be confused with the one in NJ
	11:10am MUWFInMA: i once won a half dozen chicks at auction, two ended up eating so much.... they were roosters
	11:11am Phil: My grandmother had a cow in Jersey City. But that was 100 years ago.
	11:11am queems: i want chickens but i have a cat and like 80 plants so i don’t need anymore to take care of
	11:12am βrian: @Lewis: Exactly. Madison.
	11:13am melinda: I love the idea of a private issue New Age music from 1950-1990 comp., I don't think of New Age music happening in the 50s.
	11:13am Dean: There's a mountain lion cub in my neck of the "woods."
	11:14am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: are you a fan of Katherine Mansfield? I am reading a collection with an introduction by Elizabeth Bowen that is knock-you-down good. Also, the Joe Bataan broadcast last week was aces; had to listen on the archives as I was traveling, but then it felt like a gift to myself.
	11:15am TDK60: Now that we're safely on animals, does anyone know the punchline to a joke that was on the comments board here several years back? : What's the difference between a duck call and an accordion? I answered with the wrong answer but thought it was a funny answer anyway. Anyone know the joke?
	11:16am zopa: Q: What is the definition of an optimist? A: An accordion player with a pager.
	11:17am melinda: haha
	11:17am queems: this is a very pretty song
	11:17am βrian: We had an incredibly hard time finding an accordion player for our wedding. Few and far between.
	11:19am Dean: Thanks to a comment here some time ago, I checked out, read, and admired Muriel Spark's The Girls of Slender Means. Now a mention of Katherine Mansfield and Elizabeth Bowen intrigues me...but I only have so much time to read! I'm about 1/4 way through Sir Walter Scott's Waverly, which is a delight, then I hope to move on to Brian Aldiss's An Age (pub'd as Cryptozoic in the US) and Virginia Woolf's The Waves.
	11:19am TDK60: Brian - But wait - dreadlocked hipster accordionist buskers were everywhere not so long ago.
	11:19am Trouble: i don't know her passaic river blues. just looked her up: NZ! reading janet frame right now, love her. AND i thought of you: just finished a book by harriet paige ' man with a seagull on his head' quite magical. can mail it to you if you like.
	11:20am steveo: a band I enjoy, Bombay Rickey, has an accordion and plays often at Barbés in Park Slope (have also played live on FMU)...
	11:20am Dean: Maybe that's the answer to your joke query, TDK60. You're more likely to find a duck call at a wedding.
	11:21am TDK60: My wrong answer: You wouldn't take an accordion hunting.
	11:21am βrian: What we really wanted was a bandoneon player.
	11:23am Lewis: @TDK - pretty good (and your comedic timing is exquisite)
	11:23am βrian: Florencia couldn't make it. www.youtube.com...
	11:23am Passaic River Blues: @Dean: I've been meaning to read that Aldiss for a long time. Sounds fantastic. @Trouble: She's phenomenal. I should get this to you. And I love the title there--"Man with a Seagull on His Head". Just can't go wrong with that!
	11:23am steveo: wonderful show today, Trouble; this set is just gorgeous
	11:25am Dean: I read Cryptozoic c.'77 on a recommendation. I have only a vague recollection of it, and I tend not to drift into science fiction. Yet the book is dedicated to James Blish for his Cities in Flight series, and I have a hankering to go there, too. And then Samuel Delaney's Dhalgren, and so forth. But first, Virginia Woolf.
	11:27am TDK60: Ah, 1982.
	11:29am Polyus: Currently reading Enemies Of The System by Aldiss. Hothouse (aka The Long Afternoon of Earth) is always a good place to start.
	11:30am Passaic River Blues: @Dean: I have had "Dhalgren" on a shelf near my bed for something like five years. I also rarely dip into science fiction but that one I'd like to crack someday, along with Aldiss.
	11:30am Polyus: And I enjoyed Cryptozoic, though apparently the author himself did not think much of it.
	11:33am AndrewC.: It's always confusing when someone plays another show's bed music.
	11:34am northguineahills: Ahh, this Sun Ra is one of Jesse Kamisky's bed musics...
	11:34am Trouble: @passaic can you email me? troubleatwfmudotorg and we can figure out how to get harriet paige to you. i had to order it from uk, so it's not around here
	11:35am Polyus: Jeff at destination:Out uses it too. This is the first time I have heard the whole thing though.
	11:35am Rich in Washington: Wow. Sun Ra's on Bandcamp.
	11:36am TDK60: Is that a duck call in the Sun Ra tune?
	11:36am AndrewC.: Yes, it sounds weird without Jeff talking over it :)
	11:36am Rich in Washington: I've always loved this track. It's like a theme song from a sitcom in the Eraserhead universe.
	11:36am northguineahills: You're correct, Polyus
	11:37am Dean: "Is that a duck call in the Sun Ra tune?" That, or an accordion. Or a bandoneon.
	11:39am Passaic River Blues: @Trouble: Will do!
	11:39am TDK60: Is there a duck call joke website? I know there are banjo joke sites.
	11:41am βrian: What about tattoo joke sites?
	11:42am Wild Neil: This Hunllef sounds like 1982 or Blade Runner for some reason.
	11:43am zopa: Q: What says "Quick, Quick!"? A: A duck with the hiccups
	11:45am βrian: Now, an accordionist with the hiccups ...
	11:46am TDK60: Speaking of writers, does anyone like Urusla K. LeGuin, who just passed? -- one of my all time faves.
	11:46am Dean: My daughter likes to tell iterations of this joke: Knock, knock! Who's there? Interrupting duck. Interrup-- QUACK!
	11:48am zopa: @βrian: www.allmusic.com...
	11:49am Lewis: @TDK60 - just begun digging into her oeuvre... I like her alot so far...
	11:50am Wild Neil: The Donzer-clicky star!
	11:50am TDK60: Which book, Lewis?
	11:51am βrian: "Coin-coin," dit le canard.
	11:51am Lewis: mostly short stories in collections - can't remember any titles at the moment just a sense that when choosing she is a first choice...
	11:52am βrian: @zopa: So there really is nothing new under the sun.
	11:53am TDK60: Is there such a thing as Fall jokes?
	11:55am Rich in Washington: @TDK60: most revolve around the band's immense membership over the years. Like, "I just looked, and turns out I was in The Fall for about two months in 1981".
	11:55am zopa: How do you fix a broken pumpkin? With a pumpkin patch
	11:56am zopa: Ohhh. The band, not the season. Sorry. I'll see myself out...
	11:56am βrian: Coming up on the hour: Underwater Theme Park with Meghan wfmu.org... Thanks, Trouble, for the musical peregrination.
	11:56am Dean: Buddy of mine was in the band The Autumns.
	11:56am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning!
	11:57am steveo: thank you Trouble
	11:57am Michael 98145: trouble is always welcome
	11:57am Adrian in London: @Dean I think I have one of their records. On Bella Union?
	11:58am ⓔⓚⓔⓔ: @Rich in W., HA HA HA HA HA good one
	11:59am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble!
	11:59am Rich in Washington: A woman goes into a tattoo parlor, and asks for a tattoo of Nick Cave on one inner thigh, and Iggy Pop on the other. After it's done, she's displeased with the likenesses and complains bitterly. The tattoo artist, indignantly, tells her "look lady! Go outside and show the first person my work, and they'll immediately recognize their faces!" She hautily complies, going outside into the late night pavement. She sees a teetering skid row bum, stops him and proceeds to hike her skirt to show off her new tattoos. The drunk reels a bit, covers one eye for focus, and says "I don't know who the two guys on your legs are, but that rotten sonofabitch in the middle is Mark E. Smith of The Fall!"
	11:59am Rich in Washington: Thank you, Trouble. Sorry for my stupid, long joke.
