	9:30am meredith: happy Thursday morning all
	9:31am jdaFromCologne: happy afternoon everyone…
	9:32am Sigurður: Today is my birthday! I would like to thank all the kind and beautifully shining people I've met so far. Thank you all.
	9:35am Emilsagroforest: Thanks for the plug Trouble! We love you!!
	9:35am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning Trouble & da' gang, happy birthday Sigurdur.
	9:36am Sigurður: Thank you Itz
	9:37am steveo: good morning; can i clickystar that set? (you inspired me to buy les ondes silencieuses)
	9:38am TDK60: Happy Birthday Sigurdur.
	9:39am Sigurður: Thank you TDK
	9:39am Emilsagroforest: We had a skunk kill 21 of our chickens over two nights.
	9:40am Roberto: How "bad" they smelled. If they smelled badly, they'd have a poor sense of smell.
	9:40am rsj: it's gonna be legal soon
	9:41am TDK60: Skunk, that's a good excuse to miss a meeting or be very late!
	9:41am elwyn: skunk solution: get a female cat and paint a white stripe down its back then let it run away and the skunk will follow
	9:42am jt: PEPE LA PEU.... WAS in love with the cat. and the cat liked Pepe
	9:42am rsj: does stunk badly mean smells good?
	9:42am judy from croton: Dey stinky
	9:42am steveo: at our house, skunked is when you lose really bad at cribbage
	9:42am Trouble: omg@emilsagro...that is horrible! one of the reasons i no longer have chickens in my city backyard is because of the raccoons and skunks: it was tooo scary
	9:42am Stevel: In Denver, we had civet cats. Looked like skunks but stank all of the time, not just when they sprayed, which I think they could do. Faced one down early one Sunday morning on my paper route. I froze. It stopped, looked up, turned around... and trotted off. I started breathing again.
	9:43am dei xhrist: Skunko: to encourage evacuation, tip your speakers over the nest area and blast something with beats or shrill. Then pour some pee on their doormat
	9:43am Itzall Ablurr: On that skunk tip; disregard any and ALL of the "remedies" you have heard about removing their pungency from a dog or person who has been aptly blessed with it. NOTHING works, trust me.
	9:43am judy from croton: Have fun on your birthday sigurdur. You have a beautiful musical name
	9:43am jt: We used to visit a skunk in a storm-drain as kids .. everyone was friends ..it was like a new mender of "Our Gang" we fed it grapes.
	9:44am jt: Catch and release would be fine if someone really knew what they were doing....
	9:44am TDK60: Put on "Love Stinks" by J. Geils Band and point it out the door?
	9:45am ignatatus666: The skunk had already sprayed you were clear to leave. Unfortunately for you it was close to the house/apartment. Even if you startle a skunk just stand still and they will leave when ready. They aren’t normally afraid of humans as long as you aren’t walking towards them. Skunks have no issues with walking towards you. Of course this is when you have no dog with you. Alas the Deer. Skunks do not care about the deer and Vice Versa. Cats, dogs,coyotes,bears. Those are skunks problems
	9:46am WmKMoss: Skunks can spray up to 10 feet quite accurately.
	9:46am Barbara: What incredibly beautiful music
	9:47am Sigurður: Thank you Judy
	9:47am TDK60: call a robot, to take it to the woods?
	9:49am sispus: oh my!!! uzun hava
	9:50am TDK60: ..stock up on tomato juice?
	9:51am ignatatus666: Itzall ablurr: the closest to a remedy is making a paste of regular strength dawn with baking soda and peroxide. The paste must remain on the dogs skin for a minimum of 10 minutes ( or soak clothes in this solution) rinse the dog and repeat the process . Again in 2 weeks do the same process. It’s 98% effective. My dog has nailed to my dismay 9 skunks. It’s a natural enemy . The 2% negative is when the dog sweats a lot or it is humid outside. Even then you can bathe again as long as it’s not within 2 weeks.
	9:51am Trouble: happy birthday sigurdur!!
	9:51am Emilsagroforest: Try a have-a-heart trap prewrapped in a garbage bag. Then you can leave it on someone’s stoop with the open end facing the door.
	9:53am judy from croton: My father in law lured a skunk into his car and drove her a mile down the road. No spray. Guess they like car rides
	9:53am Balls_Benedict: Came to say good morning and then got distracted by the skunk talk.
	9:54am Sigurður: Thank you Trouble
	9:55am Adrian in London: Hello all. I have just had the BEST lunch!
	9:55am TDK60: Skunks do like big city life.
	9:56am Trouble: these skunk ideas are fantastique! i almost enjoy the fact that i am being terrorized by this dang skunk ( my neighbor feeds stray cats, so i am sure it is coming for the nibbles)
	9:56am ignatatus666: TDK60 the Tomato juice never worked. It’s been a waste of tomato juice for 50+ years.
	9:56am Captain Strange: Hi @trouble did you mention "Ification" yet? https://www.thecut.com/2019/02/interview-with-ification-artist-nina-katchadourian.html?fbclid=IwAR0WxQ0fy6Zi5-Cax-E0vAprm5h5f7rChAYM-6-gzFoDjaABqEDWGM6lBiw
	9:56am Trouble: my skunks love the urban palate, apparently
	9:57am Itzall Ablurr: Dear ignatatus666, I hope I will never have to test that option, but it's good to know. Also, I LOVE that you left exactly a TWO PERCENT margin of negative owing to sweating. Good job. :)
	9:57am karlward: Trouble: a quick scan of the WFMU archives seems to indicate that no one has played Kuwaisiana. That seems crazy. I think you'd dig it. It's a great New Orleans band led by a Kuwaiti expat: kuwaisiana.bandcamp.com
	9:59am Webhamster Henry: Blossom! Spring must be coming!
	9:59am melinda: Skunks are beautiful.
	9:59am Itzall Ablurr: My most recent experience with SMELLING "skunk" was on a motorcycle ride behind some folks who were enjoying the day a LOT, if you get my drift. Contact high.
	9:59am Captain Strange: My grandmother not only made friends with all the creatures she fed, but she also got the cats, raccoons, dogs, foxes and skunks to make friends with each other, like in a fairy tale.
	9:59am TDK60: Oh, Ignatutus: the tomato juice is a myth? Cross that off..
	10:00am Trouble: thanks @karlward, will check it out
	10:00am still b/p: Recipe of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dishwashing soap is on Humane Society site, says it's good stink remover for animals and humans, and includes this: "..if you’re washing your dog or cat, don’t leave the mixture on longer than you have to as peroxide can bleach fur." So that's also how you could get to your Pepe Le Pew plot device and keep turning/celebrating the circle of skunk!
	10:01am Cmurtha: Figure 8, is double 4. Thanks School house rock. I like today's art! Morning everyone
	10:02am zpulpa: Goodmorning Trouble and friends! The show has been gorgeous!
	10:06am zpulpa: Anyone ever heard of a 1970 film titled "Lady Brimstone"?
	10:06am melinda: Trouble I will be answering phones during your show again!
	10:06am mb: I had a big Maine Coon who was black and white and made friends with the local skunk. I witnessed them do some eskimo kisses and he never got sprayed.
	10:07am TDK60: ..tell the skunk the artisanal crumb emporium is a few blocks away?
	10:08am phillippe bastille: we have a fox trail that leads right through our yard. takes care of everything that doesn't climb quickly
	10:08am steveo: wow -- just saw a tweet that the main brooklyn library branch has a recording studio that may be reserved up to 3 hours twice a month
	10:09am Trouble: super duper@melinda!
	10:09am Trouble: merci@zpulpa
	10:12am melinda: @mb that's adorable
	10:18am Webhamster Henry: This Funk Resurgence almost sounds like it was played on an Optigan!
	10:19am Roberto: So do people actually call in to donate? As in, with a telephonic device? What's up with these people? Have they not heard of the internets or are they just really lonely?
	10:19am Magda: Happy Fat Thursday.
	10:20am Magda: For those who don't know it's the Polish Doughnut Day!
	10:21am Passaic River Blues: Ulysses Crockett is a pretty fantastic name.
	10:21am Webhamster Henry: @steveo When Lawrence Kansas built a new library, they put sound studios in it! I was very impressed! lplks.org...
	10:23am Trouble: people have the freedom of choice here at wfmu@roberto. we will not let the internets man tell us what to do! that said, we do get more pledges via internet than phone these days, but we welcome all the love
	10:24am Roberto: I don't doubt the need for a traditional phone line. I just wonder what would possess people to call. I have to remind myself that some people actually don't loathe talking on the telephone.
	10:24am EG_Astro: that song was incredible.
	10:26am queems: this set is so excellent
	10:29am Ike: @Roberto, indeed, I normally loathe talking on the phone, but I nonetheless enjoy volunteering as a phone slave to take pledges as well as occasionally calling in my own pledges just so I can talk to other volunteers.
	10:30am melinda: I generally don't enjoy calling strangers but when I've called the station to pledge it feels good to connect with someone who is right there.
	10:31am Roberto: Thank you for your service, Ike!
	10:31am Trouble: merci@queems
	10:34am Passaic River Blues: Props to Ike and Melinda for serving as volunteers. Listener salute!
	10:35am Sigurður: Here is a fun little "thing" about my birthday.. I'm soooooo special... .
	10:36am Sigurður: Normally, the chance of being born on any given day is 1 in 365. But for leap babies, it's four times that, plus an extra day. That comes out to 1 in 1,461. So only 0.07 percent of the world's population shares a birthday with Adam — assuming birthdays are uniformly distributed throughout the year.Mar 1, 2016
	10:37am melinda: Thanks PRB. It's a great experience to visit the station and meet people in person. Also, the sound quality there is much better than my little speakers at home.
	10:37am Marc Francis: This song is gorgeous.
	10:44am Polyus: Getting a little proggy in here.
	10:44am Polyus: (In the best way)
	10:44am judy from croton: Sigurour i misspelled your name. No glasses on
	10:48am Hugh: Psych spy surf jazz
	10:50am meredith: The pig noises are cracking me up at work
	10:51am Sigurður: Hehe, ohh Judy..adam is a copy paste from INTERNET.
	10:52am Magda: @melinda as one of the phone room volunteers over the years....It is nice to talk to the listeners and get to know them and relay back to the station why you make it so great!
	10:52am Adrian in London: Oh no, sobs don't mention Brexit. I can't take it any more.
	10:52am hollan oats: brexit discussion worth a listen > https://gaslitnation.libsyn.com
	10:53am Sigurður: Don't worry though, I'm the genuine article and it takes people time to Sabe that
	10:55am Cmurtha: My great grandfather was in the Irish Mafia/Teamsters union. The amount of money he funneled to the IRA...Its scary to hear Irish Americans gearing up for new "Troubles" Luckily I'm in Istanbul so I don't have tohear that..Nobody likes Colonial hangovers but its scary stuff. But, that's politics, I'm loving the music
	10:56am Lixiviated Life: ... its complicated
	10:57am ɛɨk: Tidbit from within my workplace, Ye Olde Audiobook Conglomerate of Nwk: Some of us think that some of the authors aren't very good at narrating their own books (though there are many exceptions of course) and that it's better if they hire a pro.
	10:58am sphere: @ Adrian in London - I am well and truly sorry. It feels like the UK saw Trump running for President and said "Hold my beer."
	10:58am Trouble: i thought ruth ozeki reading her book worked very well. but i did see colm toibin at a reading once ( j'adore) and that bummed me out a bit...
	11:01am Adrian in London: @Sphere Said 'hold my beer, but you'll have to pay about 40% more import duty on that in the case of a no-deal…'
	11:01am ɛɨk: Speaking of the Troubles in Ireland, this looks intense: www.audible.com...
	11:03am kaari: A Tale for the Time Being was my FAVORITE audioobook experience.
	11:05am Trouble: @kaari:ozeki took us to a pretty amazing place...
	11:09am tadpoles: The Brexit vote was contaminated by the same lies spun from the same Russians that have given us Trump. Hopefully we can vote him and the GOP out....and hopefully Britain will have another referendum vote.
	11:17am Phillippe Bastille: This Camera Obscura song ALWAYS puts a smile on my face and a tap in my foot
	11:19am zpulpa: ohh I feel like i'm programed to feel my heart strings pull in a certain directions when I hear this song.
	11:20am Phillippe Bastille: @Itzall I just saw your comment above about the contact high. I used to get them all the time, when the lit joint made contact with my lips...
	11:21am sugarwolf: I follow Brexit news to feel (relatively) better about all the disastrous US news. "Well, at least we're not stockpiling body bags yet"
	11:23am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @tadpoles-"The working class of England have spoken" -John Lydon on the Brexit vote
	11:25am Passaic River Blues: I'll fix it for Lydon: "[The racist segments of] the working class of England have spoken."
	11:31am Phillippe Bastille: @wildneil hey, did everything work out with your son?
	11:32am Roberto: Dave Hill had an entire show last year devoted to convincing him to like Reggae.
	11:33am Trouble: that's interesting@roberto. that wouldn't happen with rock or soul...
	11:34am Tommy in Neversink: I like Marley and Toots but not much else. I despise the current Jamaican toasting stuff..Doesn't . Small Change plays Reggae or Ska
	11:34am ɛɨk: @tadpoles, what really rubs salt in the wounds to me is when some far-leftists (with whom I otherwise often agree) claim we deserved this because of all the elections that the CIA and other intelligence agencies have interfered with. I mean, jeez, the CIA is not the USA and the USA is not the CIA. And then they scream "you're apologizing for America!" at anyone with the chutzpah to point out the horrible things that intelligence agencies have done.
	11:35am ɛɨk: ("They" in the last sentence being certain reactionaries, not the leftists, of course.)
	11:37am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Ike-The CIA has done some sketchy stuff to be sure. @Phillippe-we are working on it. The school is taking action against the perpetrators, and we are documenting everything in emails and are prepared to go the Superintendant if needed.
	11:37am tadpoles: Ironically @Wild Neil I'm old enough to remember when Britain joined the EEC as it was then called. So that generation...who are the older folks now being the ones to mainly vote for Brexit have upset the cart for the younger generation who voted to Remain in biggest numbers. I'd ask John if that's the same "working class" who "spoke" here in the US after Trump was elected....and where has that got them? Disaster in my opinion. @etk..I'm very left like you and agree entirely with you. Cheers.
	11:39am Itzall Ablurr: Phillippe Bastille, I have HEARD of that happening... haha
	11:41am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @tadpoles-both left and right sides claim in this country that objectivity is under attack-I would agree. I try to listen to all sides and form my own conclusions.
	11:45am Stephen O: I feel the same way about audio books, Trouble. I've tried a few times and I just can't enjoy them. Which is weird because I love Selected Shorts. Especially when Jane Curtain is narrating.
	11:46am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Morning Trouble! Caught the tail end of your show but always listen to the entire thing on the Archives. You ready for the marathon?
	11:47am βrian: Re reggae, I remember falling in love with it in early (US) days, but it just seemed to never evolve — to my ears, anyway. Ska seemed much more interesting.
	11:48am Trouble: hola@jennique! i will be ready i will be ready i will be ready, i keep repeating
	11:48am Rich in Washington: I have this weird thing about some audio books. Some of the readers are so damned peculiar - like they're one of those text-to-speech simulations - just really weird, unnatural inflection. And I often see that that particular reader not only reads a lot of books, but seems to get high ratings by audio book consumers on say, Amazon.
	11:49am zpulpa: Scott McDowell's "cheap reggae 45's" segments are maybe the best bet at converting a non-reggae listener.
	11:50am Ken From Hyde Park: Roger & Amanda's premium is WFMU DJs reading books. Maybe that kind of audio book will take off.
	11:51am Agent Peter: @zpulpa Love that segment. Real quality listening.
	11:51am Rich in Washington: I almost got my now sightless father an Audible.com membership for Xmas, didn't for some reason, and when I mentioned it to him, he told me that he has the same problem with some audio books.
	11:51am zpulpa: there are at least 6 WFMU DJ's who I would love to hear read books.
	11:52am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I would pay money to see Ken Freedman read a Philip K Dick book. Clans of the Alphane Moon would be a good one.
	11:52am Cmurtha: I am very excited to get my hands on that premium Ken! (I saw I missed a chance to talk about American policing/intelligence agencies above, I'm a bit sad, but I will restrain myself)
	11:53am Trouble: i am reading tove jansson for amanda and roger: it was harder than i thought!
	11:53am Charlie Purple: was anyone else not surprised that Zoe isn't guest hosting any other FMU shows this marathon?
	11:53am Rich in Washington: I am still not used to my own voice, even though I can make it work. I think if I was going to do an audiobook, the only appropriate subject would be the history of the Muppets or something.
	11:54am sphere: @ Wild Neil - you're a hardcore PKD fan! wow.
	11:54am zpulpa: is there somewhere online where the premiums can be viewed?
	11:54am ⓘⓚⓔ: IIRC Dave Hill mentioned that narrating his own book was really really difficult. Apparently it's much harder than you'd expect for most people.
	11:54am sphere: thanks Trouble.
	11:55am Cmurtha: Trouble you have a good voice for reading Children's stories. I know Clay did one too. wfmu.org... @zpulpa
	11:55am Rich in Washington: zpulpa: right here: wfmu.org...
	11:55am Rich in Washington: Oh. I was slow on the draw. Thanks Cmurtha.
	11:56am Trouble: see you next week with matt warwick as my co host! thanks for listening
	11:57am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Sphere-actually, I have only read maybe six or eight books by PKD. His IDEAS are great, but the writing can be difficult going sometimes. Heinlein is easier to read-but has his issues. Neal Stephenson is a favorite. Read Cryptonomicon if you get a chance.
	11:57am Rich in Washington: I took a 'how to write and read news copy for radio' class and couldn't get the hang of the roller coastery delivery style. It was really difficult. Having to accent certain verbs, etc.
	11:57am Adrian in London: Thanks for a great show, Trouble
	11:57am Cmurtha: Great show Trouble
	11:58am sphere: @ Wild Neil - Bounced off of Cryptonomicon but I love Anathem Snow Crash and Diamond Age. :)
	11:58am Rich in Washington: Thanks, Trouble! Your show was fantastic today!
	11:59am Phillippe Bastille: Bye trouble, thank you
	11:59am Emilsagroforest: Love
	12:00pm Phillippe Bastille: @wildneil good to hear there's movement
	12:49pm Davee: WHERE AM I????
	6:28pm Stephen O: Aretha and Lonnie back to back. Phew. That was intense.
	2:08pm ?: Whats the track that sneaks in between kadhja bonet and camera obscura????????? `not on the track listing ?!
	7:18am taoshi: Daxuva & Nina Miranda!!!

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.

	9:21am phillippe bastille: good morning trouble and fellow troublemakers
	9:25am Davee: This Aretha is great!
	9:25am Devin B.: Mornin' all
	9:26am queems: this is making me super emotional
	9:28am Nymor: Pretty sure this is first time I've heard this Aretha track - wonderful :)
	9:30am meredith: happy Thursday morning all
	9:31am jdaFromCologne: happy afternoon everyone…
	9:32am Sigurður: Today is my birthday! I would like to thank all the kind and beautifully shining people I've met so far. Thank you all.
	9:35am Emilsagroforest: Thanks for the plug Trouble! We love you!!
	9:35am Itzall Ablurr: Good morning Trouble & da' gang, happy birthday Sigurdur.
	9:36am Sigurður: Thank you Itz
	9:37am steveo: good morning; can i clickystar that set? (you inspired me to buy les ondes silencieuses)
	9:38am TDK60: Happy Birthday Sigurdur.
	9:39am Sigurður: Thank you TDK
	9:39am Emilsagroforest: We had a skunk kill 21 of our chickens over two nights.
	9:40am Roberto: How "bad" they smelled. If they smelled badly, they'd have a poor sense of smell.
	9:40am rsj: it's gonna be legal soon
	9:41am TDK60: Skunk, that's a good excuse to miss a meeting or be very late!
	9:41am elwyn: skunk solution: get a female cat and paint a white stripe down its back then let it run away and the skunk will follow
	9:42am jt: PEPE LA PEU.... WAS in love with the cat. and the cat liked Pepe
	9:42am rsj: does stunk badly mean smells good?
	9:42am judy from croton: Dey stinky
	9:42am steveo: at our house, skunked is when you lose really bad at cribbage
	9:42am Trouble: omg@emilsagro...that is horrible! one of the reasons i no longer have chickens in my city backyard is because of the raccoons and skunks: it was tooo scary
	9:42am Stevel: In Denver, we had civet cats. Looked like skunks but stank all of the time, not just when they sprayed, which I think they could do. Faced one down early one Sunday morning on my paper route. I froze. It stopped, looked up, turned around... and trotted off. I started breathing again.
	9:43am dei xhrist: Skunko: to encourage evacuation, tip your speakers over the nest area and blast something with beats or shrill. Then pour some pee on their doormat
	9:43am Itzall Ablurr: On that skunk tip; disregard any and ALL of the "remedies" you have heard about removing their pungency from a dog or person who has been aptly blessed with it. NOTHING works, trust me.
	9:43am judy from croton: Have fun on your birthday sigurdur. You have a beautiful musical name
	9:43am jt: We used to visit a skunk in a storm-drain as kids .. everyone was friends ..it was like a new mender of "Our Gang" we fed it grapes.
	9:44am jt: Catch and release would be fine if someone really knew what they were doing....
	9:44am TDK60: Put on "Love Stinks" by J. Geils Band and point it out the door?
	9:45am ignatatus666: The skunk had already sprayed you were clear to leave. Unfortunately for you it was close to the house/apartment. Even if you startle a skunk just stand still and they will leave when ready. They aren’t normally afraid of humans as long as you aren’t walking towards them. Skunks have no issues with walking towards you. Of course this is when you have no dog with you. Alas the Deer. Skunks do not care about the deer and Vice Versa. Cats, dogs,coyotes,bears. Those are skunks problems
	9:46am WmKMoss: Skunks can spray up to 10 feet quite accurately.
	9:46am Barbara: What incredibly beautiful music
	9:47am Sigurður: Thank you Judy
	9:47am TDK60: call a robot, to take it to the woods?
	9:49am sispus: oh my!!! uzun hava
	9:50am TDK60: ..stock up on tomato juice?
	9:51am ignatatus666: Itzall ablurr: the closest to a remedy is making a paste of regular strength dawn with baking soda and peroxide. The paste must remain on the dogs skin for a minimum of 10 minutes ( or soak clothes in this solution) rinse the dog and repeat the process . Again in 2 weeks do the same process. It’s 98% effective. My dog has nailed to my dismay 9 skunks. It’s a natural enemy . The 2% negative is when the dog sweats a lot or it is humid outside. Even then you can bathe again as long as it’s not within 2 weeks.
	9:51am Trouble: happy birthday sigurdur!!
	9:51am Emilsagroforest: Try a have-a-heart trap prewrapped in a garbage bag. Then you can leave it on someone’s stoop with the open end facing the door.
	9:53am judy from croton: My father in law lured a skunk into his car and drove her a mile down the road. No spray. Guess they like car rides
	9:53am Balls_Benedict: Came to say good morning and then got distracted by the skunk talk.
	9:54am Sigurður: Thank you Trouble
	9:55am Adrian in London: Hello all. I have just had the BEST lunch!
	9:55am TDK60: Skunks do like big city life.
	9:56am Trouble: these skunk ideas are fantastique! i almost enjoy the fact that i am being terrorized by this dang skunk ( my neighbor feeds stray cats, so i am sure it is coming for the nibbles)
	9:56am ignatatus666: TDK60 the Tomato juice never worked. It’s been a waste of tomato juice for 50+ years.
	9:56am Captain Strange: Hi @trouble did you mention "Ification" yet? https://www.thecut.com/2019/02/interview-with-ification-artist-nina-katchadourian.html?fbclid=IwAR0WxQ0fy6Zi5-Cax-E0vAprm5h5f7rChAYM-6-gzFoDjaABqEDWGM6lBiw
	9:56am Trouble: my skunks love the urban palate, apparently
	9:57am Itzall Ablurr: Dear ignatatus666, I hope I will never have to test that option, but it's good to know. Also, I LOVE that you left exactly a TWO PERCENT margin of negative owing to sweating. Good job. :)
	9:57am karlward: Trouble: a quick scan of the WFMU archives seems to indicate that no one has played Kuwaisiana. That seems crazy. I think you'd dig it. It's a great New Orleans band led by a Kuwaiti expat: kuwaisiana.bandcamp.com
	9:59am Webhamster Henry: Blossom! Spring must be coming!
	9:59am melinda: Skunks are beautiful.
	9:59am Itzall Ablurr: My most recent experience with SMELLING "skunk" was on a motorcycle ride behind some folks who were enjoying the day a LOT, if you get my drift. Contact high.
	9:59am Captain Strange: My grandmother not only made friends with all the creatures she fed, but she also got the cats, raccoons, dogs, foxes and skunks to make friends with each other, like in a fairy tale.
	9:59am TDK60: Oh, Ignatutus: the tomato juice is a myth? Cross that off..
	10:00am Trouble: thanks @karlward, will check it out
	10:00am still b/p: Recipe of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dishwashing soap is on Humane Society site, says it's good stink remover for animals and humans, and includes this: "..if you’re washing your dog or cat, don’t leave the mixture on longer than you have to as peroxide can bleach fur." So that's also how you could get to your Pepe Le Pew plot device and keep turning/celebrating the circle of skunk!
	10:01am Cmurtha: Figure 8, is double 4. Thanks School house rock. I like today's art! Morning everyone
	10:02am zpulpa: Goodmorning Trouble and friends! The show has been gorgeous!
	10:06am zpulpa: Anyone ever heard of a 1970 film titled "Lady Brimstone"?
	10:06am melinda: Trouble I will be answering phones during your show again!
	10:06am mb: I had a big Maine Coon who was black and white and made friends with the local skunk. I witnessed them do some eskimo kisses and he never got sprayed.
	10:07am TDK60: ..tell the skunk the artisanal crumb emporium is a few blocks away?
	10:08am phillippe bastille: we have a fox trail that leads right through our yard. takes care of everything that doesn't climb quickly
	10:08am steveo: wow -- just saw a tweet that the main brooklyn library branch has a recording studio that may be reserved up to 3 hours twice a month
	10:09am Trouble: super duper@melinda!
	10:09am Trouble: merci@zpulpa
	10:12am melinda: @mb that's adorable
	10:18am Webhamster Henry: This Funk Resurgence almost sounds like it was played on an Optigan!
	10:19am Roberto: So do people actually call in to donate? As in, with a telephonic device? What's up with these people? Have they not heard of the internets or are they just really lonely?
	10:19am Magda: Happy Fat Thursday.
	10:20am Magda: For those who don't know it's the Polish Doughnut Day!
	10:21am Passaic River Blues: Ulysses Crockett is a pretty fantastic name.
	10:21am Webhamster Henry: @steveo When Lawrence Kansas built a new library, they put sound studios in it! I was very impressed! lplks.org...
	10:23am Trouble: people have the freedom of choice here at wfmu@roberto. we will not let the internets man tell us what to do! that said, we do get more pledges via internet than phone these days, but we welcome all the love
	10:24am Roberto: I don't doubt the need for a traditional phone line. I just wonder what would possess people to call. I have to remind myself that some people actually don't loathe talking on the telephone.
	10:24am EG_Astro: that song was incredible.
	10:26am queems: this set is so excellent
	10:29am Ike: @Roberto, indeed, I normally loathe talking on the phone, but I nonetheless enjoy volunteering as a phone slave to take pledges as well as occasionally calling in my own pledges just so I can talk to other volunteers.
	10:30am melinda: I generally don't enjoy calling strangers but when I've called the station to pledge it feels good to connect with someone who is right there.
	10:31am Roberto: Thank you for your service, Ike!
	10:31am Trouble: merci@queems
	10:34am Passaic River Blues: Props to Ike and Melinda for serving as volunteers. Listener salute!
	10:35am Sigurður: Here is a fun little "thing" about my birthday.. I'm soooooo special... .
	10:36am Sigurður: Normally, the chance of being born on any given day is 1 in 365. But for leap babies, it's four times that, plus an extra day. That comes out to 1 in 1,461. So only 0.07 percent of the world's population shares a birthday with Adam — assuming birthdays are uniformly distributed throughout the year.Mar 1, 2016
	10:37am melinda: Thanks PRB. It's a great experience to visit the station and meet people in person. Also, the sound quality there is much better than my little speakers at home.
	10:37am Marc Francis: This song is gorgeous.
	10:44am Polyus: Getting a little proggy in here.
	10:44am Polyus: (In the best way)
	10:44am judy from croton: Sigurour i misspelled your name. No glasses on
	10:48am Hugh: Psych spy surf jazz
	10:50am meredith: The pig noises are cracking me up at work
	10:51am Sigurður: Hehe, ohh Judy..adam is a copy paste from INTERNET.
	10:52am Magda: @melinda as one of the phone room volunteers over the years....It is nice to talk to the listeners and get to know them and relay back to the station why you make it so great!
	10:52am Adrian in London: Oh no, sobs don't mention Brexit. I can't take it any more.
	10:52am hollan oats: brexit discussion worth a listen > https://gaslitnation.libsyn.com
	10:53am Sigurður: Don't worry though, I'm the genuine article and it takes people time to Sabe that
	10:55am Cmurtha: My great grandfather was in the Irish Mafia/Teamsters union. The amount of money he funneled to the IRA...Its scary to hear Irish Americans gearing up for new "Troubles" Luckily I'm in Istanbul so I don't have tohear that..Nobody likes Colonial hangovers but its scary stuff. But, that's politics, I'm loving the music
	10:56am Lixiviated Life: ... its complicated
	10:57am ɛɨk: Tidbit from within my workplace, Ye Olde Audiobook Conglomerate of Nwk: Some of us think that some of the authors aren't very good at narrating their own books (though there are many exceptions of course) and that it's better if they hire a pro.
	10:58am sphere: @ Adrian in London - I am well and truly sorry. It feels like the UK saw Trump running for President and said "Hold my beer."
	10:58am Trouble: i thought ruth ozeki reading her book worked very well. but i did see colm toibin at a reading once ( j'adore) and that bummed me out a bit...
	11:01am Adrian in London: @Sphere Said 'hold my beer, but you'll have to pay about 40% more import duty on that in the case of a no-deal…'
	11:01am ɛɨk: Speaking of the Troubles in Ireland, this looks intense: www.audible.com...
	11:03am kaari: A Tale for the Time Being was my FAVORITE audioobook experience.
	11:05am Trouble: @kaari:ozeki took us to a pretty amazing place...
	11:09am tadpoles: The Brexit vote was contaminated by the same lies spun from the same Russians that have given us Trump. Hopefully we can vote him and the GOP out....and hopefully Britain will have another referendum vote.
	11:17am Phillippe Bastille: This Camera Obscura song ALWAYS puts a smile on my face and a tap in my foot
	11:19am zpulpa: ohh I feel like i'm programed to feel my heart strings pull in a certain directions when I hear this song.
	11:20am Phillippe Bastille: @Itzall I just saw your comment above about the contact high. I used to get them all the time, when the lit joint made contact with my lips...
	11:21am sugarwolf: I follow Brexit news to feel (relatively) better about all the disastrous US news. "Well, at least we're not stockpiling body bags yet"
	11:23am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @tadpoles-"The working class of England have spoken" -John Lydon on the Brexit vote
	11:25am Passaic River Blues: I'll fix it for Lydon: "[The racist segments of] the working class of England have spoken."
	11:31am Phillippe Bastille: @wildneil hey, did everything work out with your son?
	11:32am Roberto: Dave Hill had an entire show last year devoted to convincing him to like Reggae.
	11:33am Trouble: that's interesting@roberto. that wouldn't happen with rock or soul...
	11:34am Tommy in Neversink: I like Marley and Toots but not much else. I despise the current Jamaican toasting stuff..Doesn't . Small Change plays Reggae or Ska
	11:34am ɛɨk: @tadpoles, what really rubs salt in the wounds to me is when some far-leftists (with whom I otherwise often agree) claim we deserved this because of all the elections that the CIA and other intelligence agencies have interfered with. I mean, jeez, the CIA is not the USA and the USA is not the CIA. And then they scream "you're apologizing for America!" at anyone with the chutzpah to point out the horrible things that intelligence agencies have done.
	11:35am ɛɨk: ("They" in the last sentence being certain reactionaries, not the leftists, of course.)
	11:37am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Ike-The CIA has done some sketchy stuff to be sure. @Phillippe-we are working on it. The school is taking action against the perpetrators, and we are documenting everything in emails and are prepared to go the Superintendant if needed.
	11:37am tadpoles: Ironically @Wild Neil I'm old enough to remember when Britain joined the EEC as it was then called. So that generation...who are the older folks now being the ones to mainly vote for Brexit have upset the cart for the younger generation who voted to Remain in biggest numbers. I'd ask John if that's the same "working class" who "spoke" here in the US after Trump was elected....and where has that got them? Disaster in my opinion. @etk..I'm very left like you and agree entirely with you. Cheers.
	11:39am Itzall Ablurr: Phillippe Bastille, I have HEARD of that happening... haha
	11:41am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @tadpoles-both left and right sides claim in this country that objectivity is under attack-I would agree. I try to listen to all sides and form my own conclusions.
	11:45am Stephen O: I feel the same way about audio books, Trouble. I've tried a few times and I just can't enjoy them. Which is weird because I love Selected Shorts. Especially when Jane Curtain is narrating.
	11:46am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Morning Trouble! Caught the tail end of your show but always listen to the entire thing on the Archives. You ready for the marathon?
	11:47am βrian: Re reggae, I remember falling in love with it in early (US) days, but it just seemed to never evolve — to my ears, anyway. Ska seemed much more interesting.
	11:48am Trouble: hola@jennique! i will be ready i will be ready i will be ready, i keep repeating
	11:48am Rich in Washington: I have this weird thing about some audio books. Some of the readers are so damned peculiar - like they're one of those text-to-speech simulations - just really weird, unnatural inflection. And I often see that that particular reader not only reads a lot of books, but seems to get high ratings by audio book consumers on say, Amazon.
	11:49am zpulpa: Scott McDowell's "cheap reggae 45's" segments are maybe the best bet at converting a non-reggae listener.
	11:50am Ken From Hyde Park: Roger & Amanda's premium is WFMU DJs reading books. Maybe that kind of audio book will take off.
	11:51am Agent Peter: @zpulpa Love that segment. Real quality listening.
	11:51am Rich in Washington: I almost got my now sightless father an Audible.com membership for Xmas, didn't for some reason, and when I mentioned it to him, he told me that he has the same problem with some audio books.
	11:51am zpulpa: there are at least 6 WFMU DJ's who I would love to hear read books.
	11:52am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I would pay money to see Ken Freedman read a Philip K Dick book. Clans of the Alphane Moon would be a good one.
	11:52am Cmurtha: I am very excited to get my hands on that premium Ken! (I saw I missed a chance to talk about American policing/intelligence agencies above, I'm a bit sad, but I will restrain myself)
	11:53am Trouble: i am reading tove jansson for amanda and roger: it was harder than i thought!
	11:53am Charlie Purple: was anyone else not surprised that Zoe isn't guest hosting any other FMU shows this marathon?
	11:53am Rich in Washington: I am still not used to my own voice, even though I can make it work. I think if I was going to do an audiobook, the only appropriate subject would be the history of the Muppets or something.
	11:54am sphere: @ Wild Neil - you're a hardcore PKD fan! wow.
	11:54am zpulpa: is there somewhere online where the premiums can be viewed?
	11:54am ⓘⓚⓔ: IIRC Dave Hill mentioned that narrating his own book was really really difficult. Apparently it's much harder than you'd expect for most people.
	11:54am sphere: thanks Trouble.
	11:55am Cmurtha: Trouble you have a good voice for reading Children's stories. I know Clay did one too. wfmu.org... @zpulpa
	11:55am Rich in Washington: zpulpa: right here: wfmu.org...
	11:55am Rich in Washington: Oh. I was slow on the draw. Thanks Cmurtha.
	11:56am Trouble: see you next week with matt warwick as my co host! thanks for listening
	11:57am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Sphere-actually, I have only read maybe six or eight books by PKD. His IDEAS are great, but the writing can be difficult going sometimes. Heinlein is easier to read-but has his issues. Neal Stephenson is a favorite. Read Cryptonomicon if you get a chance.
	11:57am Rich in Washington: I took a 'how to write and read news copy for radio' class and couldn't get the hang of the roller coastery delivery style. It was really difficult. Having to accent certain verbs, etc.
	11:57am Adrian in London: Thanks for a great show, Trouble
	11:57am Cmurtha: Great show Trouble
	11:58am sphere: @ Wild Neil - Bounced off of Cryptonomicon but I love Anathem Snow Crash and Diamond Age. :)
	11:58am Rich in Washington: Thanks, Trouble! Your show was fantastic today!
	11:59am Phillippe Bastille: Bye trouble, thank you
	11:59am Emilsagroforest: Love
	12:00pm Phillippe Bastille: @wildneil good to hear there's movement
	12:49pm Davee: WHERE AM I????
	6:28pm Stephen O: Aretha and Lonnie back to back. Phew. That was intense.
	2:08pm ?: Whats the track that sneaks in between kadhja bonet and camera obscura????????? `not on the track listing ?!
	7:18am taoshi: Daxuva & Nina Miranda!!!
