	9:02am David (in London): Yo, Crudbringer, Handy.
	9:03am Deborah: Good Morning WFMU World!

	9:05am David (in London): Hi Melinda.
	9:06am Snoochienucci: morning Trouble and all! Hey DIL nice to see ya!
	9:06am Mark R: LOVE this Liz Durette track! (Never heard of her, but then, that's what FMU is all about, playing amazing music by people I've never heard of).
	9:06am Dances with Moomins: Good Morning Trouble and the Moderns
	9:07am Handy Haversack: Nothing gets past me, @Mike!
	9:07am David (in London): Hey Snoochie. Right back at you. What does today find you at?
	9:08am TDK60: Greetings from north Manhattan.
	9:09am Mark R: Love this Michele Mercure track, also! (Also never heard of her). You're off to such a beautiful start to match this beautiful morning, Trouble.
	9:09am Snoochienucci: was saying to Sir Handy earlier, got my last work day of the week today. Hoping that everything goes smoothly and im off to the weekend. But you never know.... How are things over on that side of the pond?
	9:10am Snoochienucci: @DIL
	9:10am ottovonbqe: Oh, the time we'll squander while you cower in your domicile - by the US govt.
	9:10am TDK60: A "weekend." I remember that.
	9:10am Jeezuseffinchrist: love this movement
	9:11am Snoochienucci: @TDK well gotta latch onto something, even if it is just a differently named day hahaha
	9:12am Mark R: And did Satie compose anything that wasn't absolutely gorgeous?
	9:13am David (in London): Snoochie. Yeah, cool here. Weather is fine, VE Day celebration is coming, and I have emerged victorious from a necessary (but destructive) IT upgrade. I spent literally all day yestersday pouring over an infographic I made for Mark Hurst, and I'm now trying to get back to the job I half finished beforehand and finding it rather difficult to focus. Hey TDK, hello to you!
	9:14am Roberto: My daughter, who is a music minor in college, didn't know who Satie was when I brought him up a few days ago. Kids, amirite?
	9:15am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble. More book covers from Stefanie's library: www.local10.com...
	9:15am Mark R: You're KILLING me this morning, Trouble. I mean, really, I'll just be lying dead by noon. (with a smile on my face, though!)
	9:15am steveo: what a wonderful start to today's show;;;
	9:16am David (in London): Hey steveo
	9:16am TDK60: Hi David in London.
	9:16am steveo: hi
	9:17am testingwithfire: good morning Trouble and modernistas! hi again to (un)usual suspects! Amazing sounds coming from that phone of mine.
	9:18am Snoochienucci: @DIL ohh cool news about the info graphic, I assume well be hearing more about that on an upcoming show? IT upgrades can always go either way haha
	9:18am Trouble: wow@roberto, that is not kids that is professors: what's happening in the world?
	9:20am testingwithfire: @Trouble agreed, that's the professor. Used to be that breadth of knowledge was an asset in academia... now I swear it's a liability.
	9:20am meredith: Good morning all from Carrboro, NC. Might I recommend the WFMU Revolution Radio WBCN documentary? It was a treat.
	9:21am Milan: I work in book publishing and we book publishers are getting a real kick out of Stefanie's book cover parodies! Thanks, Trubs!
	9:21am Snoochienucci: i feel like my brain is so used to hearing Matty W DJ every day that everyime there is a break in the music im waiting for something similar to "doo doo doo daba daba da!"
	9:24am David (in London): Snoochie, I find myself humming the Toejam & Earl music quite often these days.
	9:25am Snoochienucci: David that's exactly what im talking about! hahaha
	9:26am Deborah: @meredith: Thanks. Plan to listen to the conversation tonight and watch over the weekend.
	9:26am testingwithfire: I love the cone o' corona in that image
	9:26am Roberto: Trouble, whatever is happening in the world, it can't possibly be worse than not knowing who Satie was!
	9:27am David (in London): Snooch, it's a killer earworm that one. Mmm, good vibraciones here. Off to the shops soo, any orders?
	9:27am Deborah: Can I share the image?
	9:27am Trouble: exactly@roberto. but there is no accounting for taste...
	9:28am testingwithfire: @David a nice looseleaf first flush Darjeeling would be a delight. I could probably get some shipped here tbh, but it feels somehow Wrong
	9:28am Trouble: sure@deborah, i just grabbed it off the interwebz. she's starting to get attention online
	9:28am David (in London): Roberto, I'll bet Satie played around with his tape speed to make silly noises!
	9:29am waters7: Good morning!
	9:30am Handy Haversack: @David: HP sauce, please! And some pickle.
	9:30am testingwithfire: hi @waters7!
	9:30am waters7: :)
	9:30am TDK60: US youth in the '60s might have learned about Satie from Blood, Sweat & Tears' 2nd album where they did a Satie piece.
	9:31am Deborah: Thanks. My Environmental Studies research class will probably like it. They are so frazzled and so am I. I know that you teach also. It is tough.
	9:31am Itzall Tumánnio: Hello Trouble, good morning all. Love the Dr. Seuss parody image. I went to the grocery store yesterday AND put gas in my car for the first time in nearly 2 months! I did not, however, take a shower. Today I did, all is well.
	9:31am melinda: vibes are good
	9:33am Trouble: goggle her @deborah: she has a slew of children's covers she has reworked for this moment, very enjoyable!
	9:33am ParUbi: Hey Trouble, hi everyone up the scroll. Nicely chill set this morning.
	9:33am testingwithfire: Satie for oldtime banjo/guitar duet can be Swell ... just throwing the idea out there. Any tonal/percussive instrument, really.
	9:35am ParUbi: Haha, for the first time I can't "like" this week's image.
	9:35am testingwithfire: hi @ParUbi!
	9:35am Passaic River Blues: That set was wonderful.
	9:35am Peter from Dover NJ: I learned about Satie from an article in Guitar Player magazine, longer ago than I'd like to admit.
	9:36am robyn and 6-yr old mini glistener ajax: Where is clay when will he come back We love him so much
	9:37am Roberto: Ha! Nice yesterday reference, David.
	9:37am Slaboch: That Sessa track is so great! Shout out to Mikey Coltun from Mdou Moctar who plays bass on that and mixed it too.
	9:38am Tome: !<>! Good Morning Dj Trouble and everyone !<>!
	9:38am Handy Haversack: @robyn and ajax: Word is: Monday. Hey there, Tome.
	9:39am ParUbi: Hey there @testwf, how's your morning?
	9:41am thriftstoreleather: Its sunny in Cincinnati! The road crew are outside my home jack-hammering the street!
	9:41am testingwithfire: @ParUbi, OK so far. I have some reading to do and am (re)connecting with some folks. How are things with you?
	9:42am Trouble: merci@passsaic river blues! good sunny morning! howdy there@slaboch!
	9:44am WoodsOfNH: My Bandcamp list is getting a reload....
	9:45am Arthur: I understand Irwin is involved in Sun Ra projects via rights he owns. Is he involved in this cut in any way?
	9:46am Lixiviated Life: wind-chime vibes
	9:48am Slaboch: Can't wait to listen to more of that Brian Harnetty album! Thanks! xo
	9:48am Lixiviated Life: Kerouac-Waves
	9:49am ParUbi: @testingwf-- Things are well. The music is helping me grade. It's sunny and crisp here in Pittsburgh.

	9:52am Deborah: @Trouble I recall her cover of Charlotte's Web and Courdoury. Will Google. Thanks. Love the music, always!
	9:52am Snoochienucci: love it Trouble!
	9:53am Crudbringer: Thanks for causing all this, Trouble. (Punctuation!) Adios Mr. Handman, David, Lix, Guin, JFC, Woods, testing, Par, melinda, TDK, Snooch, M&D, everyone, time for Stupid Meetings, back later.
	9:53am Snoochienucci: ive been so into country music for the last year or so. Everytime a WFMU dj plays a little country it just seems like everything is lining up.
	9:54am DJ Guin: Seeya Crud..be well and Emotionally Distant!
	9:54am Handy Haversack: Take it easy, Crudbringer! See you on the other side of the meeting singularity.
	9:54am Snoochienucci: See ya Crud! hopefully the meetings go fast
	9:55am ami ad: Ah ha.
	9:55am ranjit: trouble on trouble!
	9:56am Snoochienucci: ohhhh Trouble's in here thats for sure! Bringing that heat!
	9:56am Glorious Estephonic: <3 <3 <3 love love love your show trouble can be healing
	9:56am Handy Haversack: This is so topical!
	9:57am Tome: in her {?} I'm diggin" theme song hehe
	9:57am adampsyche: trouble reggae cuts are always choice
	9:57am Tome: @handy good morning to you too <>
	9:58am Passaic River Blues: One of Trouble's many theme songs. This is the one they play before Trouble enters the scene with a jaunty step to lay down the law.
	9:58am Tome: ..agrees with adampsyche wholeheartedly
	9:59am testingwithfire: I don't know of anywhere else "on the dial" where I would have heard so much Tony Allen this past week.
	9:59am adampsyche: omg sad story about that band: www.npr.org...
	10:03am DJ Guin: @adam -- oof...i will give it a close read time permitting..good find, thanks.
	10:03am Arthur: Great show today!
	10:04am Trouble: gracias@glorius estephonic! thanks@adampsyche, tome, arthur!
	10:08am Handy Haversack: This reminds me: put out more birdseed.
	10:11am Listener Gregory: Not sure about this singer, but the opening saxophone had the Johnny Hodges sound down pat.
	10:12am Stanley: I just heard that that Black Betty cover, again. Is it stuck in my head or did Trouble actually play it?
	10:12am Arthur: Your work is much appreciated!!! You and FMU are of course a National Treasure.
	10:15am kevlicki: Good morning Trouble! And all
	10:17am Trouble: OMG i just did a mic break without turning on the mic! when you are talking into a can with string on the other end it sounds the same whether the mic button is pushed or not. oy
	10:17am Trouble: thanks@arthur
	10:17am JOYofit: so, I need to let you know: I am a public school art teacher in Brooklyn, I am waiting for my 9th graders to come on line to remote draw an owl by finding the basic shapes❤️your show mean a lot
	10:18am Listener Gregory: Trouble, you may not have had the mic on, but the voices in my head filled in for you.
	10:19am Trouble: thanks@JOYofit. i'm feeling your pain. although my 10th graders are better than my seniors right now, can't figure it out
	10:19am Snoochienucci: Trouble i was happy with the birds either way :)
	10:20am Glorious Estephonic: are you a teacher Trouble ?
	10:20am DJ Guin: @Listener Gregory...I swear I heard the mic break as well...we won't tell Overlord Station Manager Ken
	10:20am Itzall Tumánnio: Who AIN'T dancin' to this jam from Melvin and The Sparks?!? Get it!
	10:20am testingwithfire: @CrudBringer buena suerte, compañer@
	10:20am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble @JOYoit Thanks for the work! My wife, also a school teacher, is in the middle of a vid with a student (math) right now. It's a tough go.
	10:23am DJ Guin: If a cow ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about. Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such educational films as "Two Minus Three Equals Negative Fun" and "Firecrackers: The Silent Killer".
	10:23am Snoochienucci: haha i just listened to this one on vinyl the other day. Never realized how the title of the song was written before then
	10:31am thesecoronalives: sounds tax-man-y..
	10:34am JOYofit: thanks trouble. Actually my 6th graders (secondary school, 6-12) do the best work- my 10th graders are a pain in the ass but I love them- Jam too-
	10:36am JOYofit: I loved that tiny downstairs label store that put out esg - was it on Macdougal- can’t rememember the name
	10:36am Lewis: good morning from my virtual office hours!
	10:39am βrian: "52 days and I still don't have my term paper done!"
	10:40am Trouble: @JOYofit:99 records
	10:42am Passaic River Blues: Love this band. You can download their live performance from 2018 on SBB here: freemusicarchive.org...
	10:43am Rtintera: I like this
	10:44am karlward: YOU GOT THIS TROUBLE
	10:44am βrian: The birds can hear you.
	10:44am WoodsOfNH: Just don't hit the "Andy Breckman Voice Simulator" button.
	10:45am Handy Haversack: We hear you!
	10:46am steveL: How was Pandemic Radio not a Ramones song? Or was it...[fading into dream sequence]
	10:49am ranjit: I listened to this Raincoats album pretty much nonstop the summer after college...
	10:49am Threemoons: Tardy to the party...Hello Trouble and fellow Modern Troublemakers...
	10:49am Carmichael: Heya Trouble and the masses. Skeletons, too.
	10:51am Bill W: don't worry, Trouble, i talk to myself all the time w/out a radio show
	10:51am waters7: Oh, this song "baby song". If I could cry, I would. Am saying goodbye to a class of students via Zoom today. They are scattered from Alabama, Seoul, Hong Kong, Mumbai. I generally love the end of the semester but today--another disappointment. That said, Trouble: you never disappoint me.
	10:51am In the courtyard: Hi Trouble!
	10:52am Rtintera: love sneaks. so minimalist.
	10:53am βrian: This song goes boom.
	10:53am Trouble: haha! @bill w. I am trying to find some claire denis to introduce to my virtual film club, but no luck on streaming services that we mutually follow. bummer
	10:53am Trouble: the sun will come out tomorrow @emily
	10:55am βrian: I found several films featured on Kanopy that I wanted to watch, but no. Our university Kanopy subscription doesn't cover them.
	10:55am waters7: I know and one day, you and I will walk on a beach and throw our hats in the air--ala MTM.
	10:55am Glorious Estephonic: lots of good stuff on mubi
	10:57am Bill W: Last night I watched a globally free-streaming Rene Clair silent in which nearly all of Paris is frozen in suspended animation, except for a watchman at the Eiffel Tower and a few others. https://www.cinematheque.fr/henri/film/47696-paris-qui-dort-rene-clair-1925/
	10:58am testingwithfire: seconding MUBI, there's also OVID.TV
	10:58am steveL: Getting real!
	10:58am Jeezuseffinchrist: this is BRILLIANT
	10:58am Magda: OMG I NEEDED THIS SONG What up with Trader JOSE?
	10:58am Trouble: that is the problem@brian. I have knopy through my local library and it has more than the rutgers university kanopy, so we are limited
	10:59am waters7: thanks for this. I needed this laugh
	10:59am steveL: Prius/see us. Fire.
	10:59am egould310: I am done with Whole Foods. Used to shop there often. But no more. Funny song, btw.
	10:59am Trouble: thanks@bill!
	10:59am listener james from westwood: These days any clipboard survey takers at WF would be herded away by Amazon thugs!
	10:59am sashametro: I have been thinking of this song SO MUCH lately. Check out the video too!
	10:59am Laurie: I'm scared of going to the Trader Joe's parking lot under normal circumstances let alone during a pandemic
	11:00am Bill W: the NY libraries scrapped Kanopy, too expensive for them
	11:00am Trouble: the video to this song is even better , if you can imagine it...
	11:00am Rtintera: funny af
	11:00am βrian: Loves me some quinoa.
	11:00am Laurie: @magda I read they intentionally do small parking lots. There are a few here and there in strip malls/shopping centers so the parking lot is 90% less stressful, but those standalone stores are hell
	11:01am listener james from westwood: Oh, the video is priceless! There's a TJ right across the street. The lines outside at all hours are simultaneously upsetting and befuddling.
	11:01am TDK60: $80 for six items, ha! Exaggerating, but my grocery bill has gone up a bunch the last year or two.
	11:01am JakeGould: So good! youtu.be...
	11:01am testingwithfire: the funny thing about west LA, to a lifelong East Coaster, is how true to life some of the stereotypes are: the politeness, the beautiful people...
	11:02am Laurie: I'm thinking of canceling Hulu and subscribing to hbo go so I can get those studio ghibli flicks. I already dropped some subscriptions bc I am bleeding money lol
	11:02am Laurie: Idk why I added a lol
	11:02am Priscilla: TJ line watch on Twitter will tell you how long the line is -- there is one in Brooklyn
	11:02am Roberto: I missed the WF parking lot song, but if you all aren't familiar with the Sherman Oaks, CA WF parking lot -- it's the stuff of legends.
	11:02am βrian: If only the stay-at-home order could require that TJ's install checkout counters.
	11:04am Dances with Moomins: I've been away for 24 years.....what is a TJ ?
	11:04am βrian: Why, Trailer Joes.
	11:05am Dances with Moomins: Ah....TY
	11:05am Snoochienucci: Trouble, i have to say, every week I love your show more and more. Its just so soothing, but yet fun and upbeat. Everything just seems to always hit me in some sort of sweet spot
	11:06am testingwithfire: Giorgio Moroder overdrive
	11:09am Handy Haversack: I think I have been in Trader Joe's and Whole Foods once each in my life. No intention of repeating either experience. Exercise time is upon me. Wish me luck!
	11:09am Snoochienucci: pump it out Handy!
	11:10am Trouble: merci@snoochie...
	11:11am Handy Haversack: It more sort of leaks out and then I have to call for a clean-up on aisle exhaustion, Snooch -- but thanks! Rita Wright is a good prelude!
	11:12am Lewis: that was weird - I have a hawk flying around outside my window and thought perhaps it was complaining about the little birds who are hassling it...
	11:13am βrian: TJs is the only place in town to get reasonably priced frozen fish, for us. Typically, when we shop there, we're in an out in under 10 minutes.
	11:14am DJ Guin: @Laurie...if you have patience and a good Internet connection...buy a FireStick..jailbreak it and you can watch tv and films for free.
	11:14am JakeGould: @Trouble: Late comment on the art, but I think someone should do a Richard Scarry book, “What Do People Do All Day During a Pandemic?” Lowly worm drives around in his little apple car with a face mask on.
	11:15am TDK60: Hats off to supermarket workers in this current situation.
	11:16am Laurie: Trader Joe's is very reasonable price. I fill up a basket and it costs $40 max each time I shop -- and I get a lot
	11:16am DJ Guin: @TDK60 -- I am sure to thank the people at the grocery store the limited number of times I have to go there. They had a dead look in their eyes that sad. 2 more dollars USD an hour to risk your life?
	11:17am JakeGould: @TDK60: True. But also am concerned because in a few places I have been in while in Brooklyn the workers are genuinely either high functioning adults or people who 100% don’t speak any English. Not every place, but a few of them.
	11:17am Laurie: That's why it's so packed. Plus their generic/store brand snacks, refrigerated dinners, and frozen entrees are incredible
	11:18am JakeGould: And to clarify, the people I saw like this had masks but on around their neck. Or unloading trucks with no PPE on at all.
	11:18am Priscilla: Lowly worm! Mr. Frumble would mess things up somehow.
	11:19am DJ Guin: Hats Off to the WFMU (Red) Skeleton Crew and DJ Trouble for helping us all cope with this sh*tshow of a world.
	11:19am Trouble: shayna marchese has a great instagram feed of fantastic birds she photographs mostly in and around liberty state park.
	11:19am JakeGould: Mr. Frumble would be chasing his surgical mask down the street with only one glove on.
	11:19am disantlor: nicely bacharachian
	11:19am It Third Planenzall Tumánnio: People need help right now, indeed. I've been making a conscious effort to tip every time I go to the grocery store (which ain't that often but still) as well as pre-paying or buying gift certificates for restaurants, my barber, etc., which I will use at a later date. They need the cash flow NOW and I know I will take advantage of their goods and services anyway, just not right now.
	11:20am Dances with Moomins: When I came to Finland in 1997 there was a band here named Lowly Worm .
	11:20am PMD: Good to know about TJ's hot line. Wonder if they have it out west. I haven't tried to go becuase I just can't imagine...
	11:20am Trouble: stefanie trilling does do a richard scarey cover: check out her instagram feed
	11:20am DJ Guin: @JakeGould -- how soon until the COVID World Of Richard Scarry devolves into 'Lord of the Flies' due to the meat shortage?
	11:20am It Third Planenzall Tumánnio: And, as you say, Trouble, those of us who still get paid are SO very fortunate.
	11:21am Ken From Hyde Park: @Jake - My link at 9:15 has a Richard Scarry impression.
	11:21am JakeGould: @DJGuin: Maybe less than a week because Richard Scarry’s worlds are on the constant edge of collapse anyway.
	11:22am Itzall Tumánnio: AND- wth happened with my "handle"?!?
	11:22am Ike: There's a meat shortage? Is that why there was very little wet cat food on the shelves yesterday?
	11:23am JakeGould: @Ken: Cool@
	11:25am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	11:26am JakeGould: The “Caps for Sale” one is the best.
	11:27am TDK60: Ike, Yeah, there's a meat shortage as meat industry workers are getting sick.
	11:29am Priscilla: Whoa this takes me back!
	11:31am JakeGould: Good thing I am eating lots of spinach, kale and chard…
	11:31am Handy Haversack: I have survived another exercise time ... barely! Hey, Greg! Next step: transfer laptop and all outside. Fill the bird feeders. Work another four hours with birdsong and sunlight!
	11:31am Laurie: I've been eating a lot of arugula and spinach I hope there isn't a cheese shortage
	11:32am northguineahills: well, meat packers live in states w/o social distancing or lockdowns in place, and they work cheek by jowl, and many are undocumented, therefore they're lucky to make minimum wage and can't afford to miss work....(or get fired).
	11:32am Arthur: Perfect!
	11:32am TDK60: Laurie: Upstate NY farmers have been dumping milk.
	11:32am Arthur: Warm Jets that is.
	11:33am northguineahills: I've been on a bok choi and udon soup kick (w/ chilies).
	11:33am Yes: hey all
	11:33am TDK60: NGH: Love bok choy, just had some with eggs and taters. I like it how it keeps well in a fridge.
	11:34am Listening Out There: Just got here. It's sounding okay!
	11:35am Mr. Pumpy: This bass player...yeah!
	11:35am northguineahills: @TDK: and bok choi works well in salads. My last batch lasted me a month w/ most staying fresh.
	11:35am waters7: kicking it!
	11:38am βrian: Yep, lots of Brassicaceae and beans in the diet, these days. Thank heavens for good ventilation.
	11:38am Snoochienucci: ayyyyy mattty!
	11:39am testingwithfire: @Trouble and Skellngtons ... thank you for inspiring us one more quarantine morning!
	11:39am Crudbringer: Are you guys eating baby bok choi, or grown up bok choy? I fry the babies up with garlic. The adults... are bitter like me. Maybe brothsoup is the best approach there.
	11:39am testingwithfire: @Crudbringer the baby boks are best
	11:40am ottovonbqe: and a big FU to all the nursing home owners and the politicians in their pockets.
	11:41am Dances with Moomins: Thanks Ms. T !
	11:41am TDK60: And the govt. is talking about //lowering// [sic] farmworker's wages!
	11:41am Ken From Hyde Park: This homeschool article? www.nytimes.com...
	11:42am ottovonbqe: and to all the plutocrats grifting like crazy throughout this pandemic.
	11:42am TDK60: [farmworkers' <- apostrophe at end]
	11:43am WoodsOfNH: @Crudbringer My bok choi is pre-teen.
	11:44am Mr. Pumpy: @Woods...better cook it up lest it become all sinewy with attitude.
	11:45am Trevor: Thanks for the music! Wondering if you could take a minute to explain the basic technical side of dj-from home. Haven't heard anyone talk about that yet. What formats, what equipment, how do get it to the station? Cheers
	11:47am Clematis in the courtyard: Meat shortage, toilet paper shortage, and murder hornets on the way! You can't make this sh-t up.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Thanks to you, Fancy Bad Matty Boy! My plans are coming together -- the birds are resupplied, and the dog and I are outside.
	11:47am JakeGould: @Trevor: Everyone is using different stuff. No one DJ is doing it the same way. It boils down to a real microphone and a real mixing board and multiple input devices like turntables, CDs or laptops. It would be better suited for a blog post or something; not a DJ break.
	11:48am WoodsOfNH: I think they use one of those pneumatic tube things...push the music into the cylinder and then stuff it in the tube. Just like at banks.
	11:48am testingwithfire: @Handy I read that as "Fancy Mad Batty Boy" I think they both fit
	11:48am DJ Guin: @Woods -- Exactly. Couldn't have said it better.
	11:49am Snoochienucci: Enjoy it Handyman, its a beautful day. About to head out for a bike ride/lunch breakmyself . Thanks again for the great show Trouble! Talk to all you later
	11:49am Clematis in the courtyard: Yes, @Woods has it right It sounds the same too.
	11:49am WoodsOfNH: @MrPumpy No doubt. It already thinks it knows everything.
	11:50am steveo: @Trevor -- Station Manager Ken talks about some of the technical aspects in this podcast from April www.radiosurvivor.com...
	11:50am SeanG: great set Trouble!! tudo bem
	11:50am Trouble: @trevor, i use a dj program called MIXXX and an avid box with a old school mic, and then the music makes to the station on the wings of little wood thrushes
	11:51am JakeGould: I lied… Each DJ is assigned a passenger pigeon with a USB flash drive. The pigeon heads back to WMFU HQ and the job of the skeleton crew is to grab the USB flash drive and insert that into the “on air” computer and plays it. For DJs who mainly play 45s there are 4-5 pigeons assigned.
	11:51am Handy Haversack: @Testing: I think there are many mansions in that Fancy Bad house! Have fun, Snoochie! Wood thrushes are a good call, Trouble. Dependable bird. Unlike SOME towhees I could name!
	11:55am Trevor: @JakeGould I thought I saw pigeons with USB drives flying by! @Trouble @steveo Thanks for the info!! Maybe I'll be able to sleep tonight.
	11:55am listener 126464: Thank you Trouble!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Trouble, also, thanks so much to you and BFB Matty W! Lovely show! Again!
	11:55am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:55am TDK60: Merci Gracias Thanks DJ T.
	11:56am Trouble: thanks for listening this morning!!
	11:56am JakeGould: Thanks for being here over there, Trouble!
	11:57am JakeGould: Will say that there should be a WFMU DJ Pandemic “Yearbook” with pics of setups and writing by DJs describing the challenges.
	11:58am egould310: EBTG— great song. Great show. Thanks, Trouble!
	11:58am Priscilla: Thanks a bunch, Trouble!
	11:59am steveo: thanks, Trouble!
	11:59am steveL: Thanks
	11:59am DJ Guin: happy thorsday all! thanks again, Trouble!!
	12:00pm Laurie: I loved missing you but Tracey thorn and ebtg had other great songs too, even better
	12:00pm Laurie: Thanks trouble stay safe

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from May 7, 2020

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.

	9:02am David (in London): Yo, Crudbringer, Handy.
	9:03am Deborah: Good Morning WFMU World!

	9:05am David (in London): Hi Melinda.
	9:06am Snoochienucci: morning Trouble and all! Hey DIL nice to see ya!
	9:06am Mark R: LOVE this Liz Durette track! (Never heard of her, but then, that's what FMU is all about, playing amazing music by people I've never heard of).
	9:06am Dances with Moomins: Good Morning Trouble and the Moderns
	9:07am Handy Haversack: Nothing gets past me, @Mike!
	9:07am David (in London): Hey Snoochie. Right back at you. What does today find you at?
	9:08am TDK60: Greetings from north Manhattan.
	9:09am Mark R: Love this Michele Mercure track, also! (Also never heard of her). You're off to such a beautiful start to match this beautiful morning, Trouble.
	9:09am Snoochienucci: was saying to Sir Handy earlier, got my last work day of the week today. Hoping that everything goes smoothly and im off to the weekend. But you never know.... How are things over on that side of the pond?
	9:10am Snoochienucci: @DIL
	9:10am ottovonbqe: Oh, the time we'll squander while you cower in your domicile - by the US govt.
	9:10am TDK60: A "weekend." I remember that.
	9:10am Jeezuseffinchrist: love this movement
	9:11am Snoochienucci: @TDK well gotta latch onto something, even if it is just a differently named day hahaha
	9:12am Mark R: And did Satie compose anything that wasn't absolutely gorgeous?
	9:13am David (in London): Snoochie. Yeah, cool here. Weather is fine, VE Day celebration is coming, and I have emerged victorious from a necessary (but destructive) IT upgrade. I spent literally all day yestersday pouring over an infographic I made for Mark Hurst, and I'm now trying to get back to the job I half finished beforehand and finding it rather difficult to focus. Hey TDK, hello to you!
	9:14am Roberto: My daughter, who is a music minor in college, didn't know who Satie was when I brought him up a few days ago. Kids, amirite?
	9:15am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble. More book covers from Stefanie's library: www.local10.com...
	9:15am Mark R: You're KILLING me this morning, Trouble. I mean, really, I'll just be lying dead by noon. (with a smile on my face, though!)
	9:15am steveo: what a wonderful start to today's show;;;
	9:16am David (in London): Hey steveo
	9:16am TDK60: Hi David in London.
	9:16am steveo: hi
	9:17am testingwithfire: good morning Trouble and modernistas! hi again to (un)usual suspects! Amazing sounds coming from that phone of mine.
	9:18am Snoochienucci: @DIL ohh cool news about the info graphic, I assume well be hearing more about that on an upcoming show? IT upgrades can always go either way haha
	9:18am Trouble: wow@roberto, that is not kids that is professors: what's happening in the world?
	9:20am testingwithfire: @Trouble agreed, that's the professor. Used to be that breadth of knowledge was an asset in academia... now I swear it's a liability.
	9:20am meredith: Good morning all from Carrboro, NC. Might I recommend the WFMU Revolution Radio WBCN documentary? It was a treat.
	9:21am Milan: I work in book publishing and we book publishers are getting a real kick out of Stefanie's book cover parodies! Thanks, Trubs!
	9:21am Snoochienucci: i feel like my brain is so used to hearing Matty W DJ every day that everyime there is a break in the music im waiting for something similar to "doo doo doo daba daba da!"
	9:24am David (in London): Snoochie, I find myself humming the Toejam & Earl music quite often these days.
	9:25am Snoochienucci: David that's exactly what im talking about! hahaha
	9:26am Deborah: @meredith: Thanks. Plan to listen to the conversation tonight and watch over the weekend.
	9:26am testingwithfire: I love the cone o' corona in that image
	9:26am Roberto: Trouble, whatever is happening in the world, it can't possibly be worse than not knowing who Satie was!
	9:27am David (in London): Snooch, it's a killer earworm that one. Mmm, good vibraciones here. Off to the shops soo, any orders?
	9:27am Deborah: Can I share the image?
	9:27am Trouble: exactly@roberto. but there is no accounting for taste...
	9:28am testingwithfire: @David a nice looseleaf first flush Darjeeling would be a delight. I could probably get some shipped here tbh, but it feels somehow Wrong
	9:28am Trouble: sure@deborah, i just grabbed it off the interwebz. she's starting to get attention online
	9:28am David (in London): Roberto, I'll bet Satie played around with his tape speed to make silly noises!
	9:29am waters7: Good morning!
	9:30am Handy Haversack: @David: HP sauce, please! And some pickle.
	9:30am testingwithfire: hi @waters7!
	9:30am waters7: :)
	9:30am TDK60: US youth in the '60s might have learned about Satie from Blood, Sweat & Tears' 2nd album where they did a Satie piece.
	9:31am Deborah: Thanks. My Environmental Studies research class will probably like it. They are so frazzled and so am I. I know that you teach also. It is tough.
	9:31am Itzall Tumánnio: Hello Trouble, good morning all. Love the Dr. Seuss parody image. I went to the grocery store yesterday AND put gas in my car for the first time in nearly 2 months! I did not, however, take a shower. Today I did, all is well.
	9:31am melinda: vibes are good
	9:33am Trouble: goggle her @deborah: she has a slew of children's covers she has reworked for this moment, very enjoyable!
	9:33am ParUbi: Hey Trouble, hi everyone up the scroll. Nicely chill set this morning.
	9:33am testingwithfire: Satie for oldtime banjo/guitar duet can be Swell ... just throwing the idea out there. Any tonal/percussive instrument, really.
	9:35am ParUbi: Haha, for the first time I can't "like" this week's image.
	9:35am testingwithfire: hi @ParUbi!
	9:35am Passaic River Blues: That set was wonderful.
	9:35am Peter from Dover NJ: I learned about Satie from an article in Guitar Player magazine, longer ago than I'd like to admit.
	9:36am robyn and 6-yr old mini glistener ajax: Where is clay when will he come back We love him so much
	9:37am Roberto: Ha! Nice yesterday reference, David.
	9:37am Slaboch: That Sessa track is so great! Shout out to Mikey Coltun from Mdou Moctar who plays bass on that and mixed it too.
	9:38am Tome: !<>! Good Morning Dj Trouble and everyone !<>!
	9:38am Handy Haversack: @robyn and ajax: Word is: Monday. Hey there, Tome.
	9:39am ParUbi: Hey there @testwf, how's your morning?

	9:44am WoodsOfNH: My Bandcamp list is getting a reload....

	9:46am Lixiviated Life: wind-chime vibes
	9:48am Slaboch: Can't wait to listen to more of that Brian Harnetty album! Thanks! xo
	9:48am Lixiviated Life: Kerouac-Waves
	9:49am ParUbi: @testingwf-- Things are well. The music is helping me grade. It's sunny and crisp here in Pittsburgh.

	9:53am Snoochienucci: ive been so into country music for the last year or so. Everytime a WFMU dj plays a little country it just seems like everything is lining up.
	9:54am DJ Guin: Seeya Crud..be well and Emotionally Distant!
	9:54am Handy Haversack: Take it easy, Crudbringer! See you on the other side of the meeting singularity.

	9:57am Tome: @handy good morning to you too <>
	9:58am Passaic River Blues: One of Trouble's many theme songs. This is the one they play before Trouble enters the scene with a jaunty step to lay down the law.
	9:58am Tome: ..agrees with adampsyche wholeheartedly
	9:59am testingwithfire: I don't know of anywhere else "on the dial" where I would have heard so much Tony Allen this past week.
	9:59am adampsyche: omg sad story about that band: www.npr.org...

	10:53am Trouble: the sun will come out tomorrow @emily
	10:55am βrian: I found several films featured on Kanopy that I wanted to watch, but no. Our university Kanopy subscription doesn't cover them.

	10:55am Glorious Estephonic: lots of good stuff on mubi
	10:57am Bill W: Last night I watched a globally free-streaming Rene Clair silent in which nearly all of Paris is frozen in suspended animation, except for a watchman at the Eiffel Tower and a few others. https://www.cinematheque.fr/henri/film/47696-paris-qui-dort-rene-clair-1925/
	10:58am testingwithfire: seconding MUBI, there's also OVID.TV

	10:58am Jeezuseffinchrist: this is BRILLIANT
	10:58am Magda: OMG I NEEDED THIS SONG What up with Trader JOSE?

	10:59am steveL: Prius/see us. Fire.

	10:59am Trouble: thanks@bill!
	10:59am listener james from westwood: These days any clipboard survey takers at WF would be herded away by Amazon thugs!

	11:00am Rtintera: funny af
	11:00am βrian: Loves me some quinoa.
	11:00am Laurie: @magda I read they intentionally do small parking lots. There are a few here and there in strip malls/shopping centers so the parking lot is 90% less stressful, but those standalone stores are hell
	11:01am listener james from westwood: Oh, the video is priceless! There's a TJ right across the street. The lines outside at all hours are simultaneously upsetting and befuddling.
	11:01am TDK60: $80 for six items, ha! Exaggerating, but my grocery bill has gone up a bunch the last year or two.
	11:01am JakeGould: So good! youtu.be...
	11:01am testingwithfire: the funny thing about west LA, to a lifelong East Coaster, is how true to life some of the stereotypes are: the politeness, the beautiful people...
	11:02am Laurie: I'm thinking of canceling Hulu and subscribing to hbo go so I can get those studio ghibli flicks. I already dropped some subscriptions bc I am bleeding money lol
	11:02am Laurie: Idk why I added a lol
	11:02am Priscilla: TJ line watch on Twitter will tell you how long the line is -- there is one in Brooklyn
	11:02am Roberto: I missed the WF parking lot song, but if you all aren't familiar with the Sherman Oaks, CA WF parking lot -- it's the stuff of legends.
	11:02am βrian: If only the stay-at-home order could require that TJ's install checkout counters.
	11:04am Dances with Moomins: I've been away for 24 years.....what is a TJ ?
	11:04am βrian: Why, Trailer Joes.
	11:05am Dances with Moomins: Ah....TY
	11:05am Snoochienucci: Trouble, i have to say, every week I love your show more and more. Its just so soothing, but yet fun and upbeat. Everything just seems to always hit me in some sort of sweet spot
	11:06am testingwithfire: Giorgio Moroder overdrive
	11:09am Handy Haversack: I think I have been in Trader Joe's and Whole Foods once each in my life. No intention of repeating either experience. Exercise time is upon me. Wish me luck!
	11:09am Snoochienucci: pump it out Handy!
	11:10am Trouble: merci@snoochie...
	11:11am Handy Haversack: It more sort of leaks out and then I have to call for a clean-up on aisle exhaustion, Snooch -- but thanks! Rita Wright is a good prelude!
	11:12am Lewis: that was weird - I have a hawk flying around outside my window and thought perhaps it was complaining about the little birds who are hassling it...
	11:13am βrian: TJs is the only place in town to get reasonably priced frozen fish, for us. Typically, when we shop there, we're in an out in under 10 minutes.
	11:14am DJ Guin: @Laurie...if you have patience and a good Internet connection...buy a FireStick..jailbreak it and you can watch tv and films for free.
	11:14am JakeGould: @Trouble: Late comment on the art, but I think someone should do a Richard Scarry book, “What Do People Do All Day During a Pandemic?” Lowly worm drives around in his little apple car with a face mask on.
	11:15am TDK60: Hats off to supermarket workers in this current situation.
	11:16am Laurie: Trader Joe's is very reasonable price. I fill up a basket and it costs $40 max each time I shop -- and I get a lot
	11:16am DJ Guin: @TDK60 -- I am sure to thank the people at the grocery store the limited number of times I have to go there. They had a dead look in their eyes that sad. 2 more dollars USD an hour to risk your life?
	11:17am JakeGould: @TDK60: True. But also am concerned because in a few places I have been in while in Brooklyn the workers are genuinely either high functioning adults or people who 100% don’t speak any English. Not every place, but a few of them.
	11:17am Laurie: That's why it's so packed. Plus their generic/store brand snacks, refrigerated dinners, and frozen entrees are incredible
	11:18am JakeGould: And to clarify, the people I saw like this had masks but on around their neck. Or unloading trucks with no PPE on at all.
	11:18am Priscilla: Lowly worm! Mr. Frumble would mess things up somehow.
	11:19am DJ Guin: Hats Off to the WFMU (Red) Skeleton Crew and DJ Trouble for helping us all cope with this sh*tshow of a world.
	11:19am Trouble: shayna marchese has a great instagram feed of fantastic birds she photographs mostly in and around liberty state park.
	11:19am JakeGould: Mr. Frumble would be chasing his surgical mask down the street with only one glove on.
	11:19am disantlor: nicely bacharachian
	11:19am It Third Planenzall Tumánnio: People need help right now, indeed. I've been making a conscious effort to tip every time I go to the grocery store (which ain't that often but still) as well as pre-paying or buying gift certificates for restaurants, my barber, etc., which I will use at a later date. They need the cash flow NOW and I know I will take advantage of their goods and services anyway, just not right now.
	11:20am Dances with Moomins: When I came to Finland in 1997 there was a band here named Lowly Worm .
	11:20am PMD: Good to know about TJ's hot line. Wonder if they have it out west. I haven't tried to go becuase I just can't imagine...
	11:20am Trouble: stefanie trilling does do a richard scarey cover: check out her instagram feed
	11:20am DJ Guin: @JakeGould -- how soon until the COVID World Of Richard Scarry devolves into 'Lord of the Flies' due to the meat shortage?
	11:20am It Third Planenzall Tumánnio: And, as you say, Trouble, those of us who still get paid are SO very fortunate.
	11:21am Ken From Hyde Park: @Jake - My link at 9:15 has a Richard Scarry impression.
	11:21am JakeGould: @DJGuin: Maybe less than a week because Richard Scarry’s worlds are on the constant edge of collapse anyway.
	11:22am Itzall Tumánnio: AND- wth happened with my "handle"?!?
	11:22am Ike: There's a meat shortage? Is that why there was very little wet cat food on the shelves yesterday?
	11:23am JakeGould: @Ken: Cool@
	11:25am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	11:26am JakeGould: The “Caps for Sale” one is the best.
	11:27am TDK60: Ike, Yeah, there's a meat shortage as meat industry workers are getting sick.
	11:29am Priscilla: Whoa this takes me back!
	11:31am JakeGould: Good thing I am eating lots of spinach, kale and chard…
	11:31am Handy Haversack: I have survived another exercise time ... barely! Hey, Greg! Next step: transfer laptop and all outside. Fill the bird feeders. Work another four hours with birdsong and sunlight!
	11:31am Laurie: I've been eating a lot of arugula and spinach I hope there isn't a cheese shortage
	11:32am northguineahills: well, meat packers live in states w/o social distancing or lockdowns in place, and they work cheek by jowl, and many are undocumented, therefore they're lucky to make minimum wage and can't afford to miss work....(or get fired).
	11:32am Arthur: Perfect!
	11:32am TDK60: Laurie: Upstate NY farmers have been dumping milk.
	11:32am Arthur: Warm Jets that is.
	11:33am northguineahills: I've been on a bok choi and udon soup kick (w/ chilies).
	11:33am Yes: hey all
	11:33am TDK60: NGH: Love bok choy, just had some with eggs and taters. I like it how it keeps well in a fridge.
	11:34am Listening Out There: Just got here. It's sounding okay!
	11:35am Mr. Pumpy: This bass player...yeah!
	11:35am northguineahills: @TDK: and bok choi works well in salads. My last batch lasted me a month w/ most staying fresh.
	11:35am waters7: kicking it!
	11:38am βrian: Yep, lots of Brassicaceae and beans in the diet, these days. Thank heavens for good ventilation.
	11:38am Snoochienucci: ayyyyy mattty!
	11:39am testingwithfire: @Trouble and Skellngtons ... thank you for inspiring us one more quarantine morning!
	11:39am Crudbringer: Are you guys eating baby bok choi, or grown up bok choy? I fry the babies up with garlic. The adults... are bitter like me. Maybe brothsoup is the best approach there.
	11:39am testingwithfire: @Crudbringer the baby boks are best
	11:40am ottovonbqe: and a big FU to all the nursing home owners and the politicians in their pockets.
	11:41am Dances with Moomins: Thanks Ms. T !
	11:41am TDK60: And the govt. is talking about //lowering// [sic] farmworker's wages!
	11:41am Ken From Hyde Park: This homeschool article? www.nytimes.com...
	11:42am ottovonbqe: and to all the plutocrats grifting like crazy throughout this pandemic.
	11:42am TDK60: [farmworkers' <- apostrophe at end]
	11:43am WoodsOfNH: @Crudbringer My bok choi is pre-teen.
	11:44am Mr. Pumpy: @Woods...better cook it up lest it become all sinewy with attitude.
	11:45am Trevor: Thanks for the music! Wondering if you could take a minute to explain the basic technical side of dj-from home. Haven't heard anyone talk about that yet. What formats, what equipment, how do get it to the station? Cheers
	11:47am Clematis in the courtyard: Meat shortage, toilet paper shortage, and murder hornets on the way! You can't make this sh-t up.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: Thanks to you, Fancy Bad Matty Boy! My plans are coming together -- the birds are resupplied, and the dog and I are outside.
	11:47am JakeGould: @Trevor: Everyone is using different stuff. No one DJ is doing it the same way. It boils down to a real microphone and a real mixing board and multiple input devices like turntables, CDs or laptops. It would be better suited for a blog post or something; not a DJ break.
	11:48am WoodsOfNH: I think they use one of those pneumatic tube things...push the music into the cylinder and then stuff it in the tube. Just like at banks.
	11:48am testingwithfire: @Handy I read that as "Fancy Mad Batty Boy" I think they both fit
	11:48am DJ Guin: @Woods -- Exactly. Couldn't have said it better.
	11:49am Snoochienucci: Enjoy it Handyman, its a beautful day. About to head out for a bike ride/lunch breakmyself . Thanks again for the great show Trouble! Talk to all you later
	11:49am Clematis in the courtyard: Yes, @Woods has it right It sounds the same too.
	11:49am WoodsOfNH: @MrPumpy No doubt. It already thinks it knows everything.
	11:50am steveo: @Trevor -- Station Manager Ken talks about some of the technical aspects in this podcast from April www.radiosurvivor.com...
	11:50am SeanG: great set Trouble!! tudo bem
	11:50am Trouble: @trevor, i use a dj program called MIXXX and an avid box with a old school mic, and then the music makes to the station on the wings of little wood thrushes
	11:51am JakeGould: I lied… Each DJ is assigned a passenger pigeon with a USB flash drive. The pigeon heads back to WMFU HQ and the job of the skeleton crew is to grab the USB flash drive and insert that into the “on air” computer and plays it. For DJs who mainly play 45s there are 4-5 pigeons assigned.
	11:51am Handy Haversack: @Testing: I think there are many mansions in that Fancy Bad house! Have fun, Snoochie! Wood thrushes are a good call, Trouble. Dependable bird. Unlike SOME towhees I could name!
	11:55am Trevor: @JakeGould I thought I saw pigeons with USB drives flying by! @Trouble @steveo Thanks for the info!! Maybe I'll be able to sleep tonight.
	11:55am listener 126464: Thank you Trouble!
	11:55am Handy Haversack: Trouble, also, thanks so much to you and BFB Matty W! Lovely show! Again!
	11:55am Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	11:55am TDK60: Merci Gracias Thanks DJ T.
	11:56am Trouble: thanks for listening this morning!!
	11:56am JakeGould: Thanks for being here over there, Trouble!
	11:57am JakeGould: Will say that there should be a WFMU DJ Pandemic “Yearbook” with pics of setups and writing by DJs describing the challenges.
	11:58am egould310: EBTG— great song. Great show. Thanks, Trouble!
	11:58am Priscilla: Thanks a bunch, Trouble!
	11:59am steveo: thanks, Trouble!
	11:59am steveL: Thanks
	11:59am DJ Guin: happy thorsday all! thanks again, Trouble!!
	12:00pm Laurie: I loved missing you but Tracey thorn and ebtg had other great songs too, even better
	12:00pm Laurie: Thanks trouble stay safe
