	9:14am Pale Son: Good morning, modernity! I'm on vacation this week and getting to truly listen to my favourite WFMU shows without the distractions of work.
	9:14am Threemoons: Stuff not going great on the new job for a number of reasons beyond my control, but hanging in there. Thanks Trouble for this amazing mellow music to help me keep my head on straight.
	9:15am thormagma on mobile: morning trouble. solidarity to you and all educators in the US
	9:15am vanya moscow: I just realized I’m June Tyson fan and should hear all her stuff. I’ve only heard her with Sun Ra before
	9:15am Abi: Can anyone tell me the name of the last song that played? I missed it :(
	9:15am Strandlund: I LOVE this song Trouble!! Thanks!
	9:16am Trouble: omg the street cleaner just swept by. trying to keep the windows barely cracked but that was soooo loud. luckily i wasn't on mic. the trials of home dj'ing...
	9:16am Abi: Oh never mind i think i see it!! Haha sorry new to the board!
	9:16am Priscilla: Perfect staycation music
	9:16am Snoochienucci: hey all! always loved this one, the whole album is amazing! loving it as per usual Trouble!
	9:16am YETI BOB: @Abi: Welcome! I was just about to try to explain it to you ....
	9:17am dale: hello. love this cd. sexy boy is a great track.
	9:17am Trouble: good morn to you Dances with moomins. it's time for me to re-read my fave summer book, 'The Summer Book' by tove jansson
	9:17am deborah: @thormagma on mobile: Thanks. Facing the arduous task of final grading and posting grades on the college portal. Then, the flood of student questions and complaints, maybe.
	9:18am Trouble: happy to be included in your vacation plans@ pale son
	9:19am Dances with Moomins: I haven't read that! I will.
	9:19am Trouble: @vanya: june's only records that i know of are with sun ra, but the release i played this morning is a collection of her most memorable moments with the sun ra arkestra. she was an amazing singer and human being...
	9:19am Heidee: Aaah the bliss... Thank you. The chat at Clay's has hyped me up a wee bit. Time to relax now. Looking forward to the show.
	9:19am Handy Haversack: Hey, Snoochie!
	9:20am Pale Son: Thanks, Trouble! Loving the French vibes.
	9:20am YETI BOB: June Tyson not only sang, she also played violin and designed costumes for the Arkestra.
	9:21am YETI BOB: And those were some awesome costumes!
	9:22am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Chirps ahoy.
	9:23am melinda: Great Air. Didn't know that one.
	9:23am vanya moscow: Thank you for answering, Trouble! Found this collection on bandcamp. Was touched to discover Sun Ra website is somehow affiliated with Irwin Chusid. Long time listener, thank you for turning me to skiff
	9:24am vanya moscow: ..I mean, “stuff”
	9:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Birdsong aplenty in open window season in New Hampshire here - but no crickets yet ! - ? ? How's that with y'all ? Who got thuh criggit 411 ?
	9:25am YETI BOB: @melinda: I feel like there was a period of time in the 90s when I couldn't go anywhere without hearing "French Band" Air. Then it went completely out of style and I didn't hear them for years, until this morning. Sounded good.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB did not know June did costuming. Irwin much involved with serving the recorded legacy of SunRa.
	9:29am Snoochienucci: Hey Handy! hope your doing well!
	9:31am Handy Haversack: Doing OK, Snooch. Going to get out on the water this afternoon! How are things on your side of the rivers?
	9:34am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and troubled masses. Determined to have a great day in spite of whatever the news websites are reporting.
	9:34am Snoochienucci: niceeeee Handy, you kayak i think you mentioned right? Either way looking like a nice day to get outside. and not bad, another busy thursday for me, but ill have off all next week, which im really looking forward to.
	9:36am YETI BOB: @RevRab1163: We heard what sounded like cicadas yesterday (in Chicago). I'm not sure if this is one of those years. Also lots of birds.
	9:37am YETI BOB: Maybe it's the "Northern Illinois Sub-Brood". web.extension.illinois.edu...
	9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Yeti B: I heard it is that year in the 17-year cicada cycle.
	9:43am mariano: 'Morning Trouble, crew, folks.
	9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: You're talking about cicadian rhythms? I always wondered how that worked.
	9:44am YETI BOB: RevRab: It looks a bit complicated, there are 13 and 17 year cycles, and different "sub-broods". I'm reading up on it now. I learned that Illinois has the largest emergence of cicadas known anywhere, but that's not due until 2024. There's a smaller emergence this year though. Check that page I linked (well that's for IL not NH).
	9:45am Mike W: @Trouble when you hear the words “this is the modern world” in your head, is it in Paul Weller’s growl?
	9:46am Handy Haversack: "Stephane's Blues" kept reminding me of "I Can't Wait to Get Off Work and See My Baby."
	9:46am Trouble: yes @mike W it is! style council has always been one of my favorite bands, and of course the jam...
	9:46am TDK60: I think but am not sure that Style Council song is about the 1984 miner strike in UK.
	9:46am Mark at Koncepts: Amazing start
	9:47am YETI BOB: @KFHP: I also read that cicada cycles are prime numbers of years, because it produces cycles that are less likely to be in-phase with other natural cycles (predators, etc). Math rules!
	9:47am mariano: Doesn't that 17-year cycle reflect the Fibonacci sequence or something along those lines? (Listen to me trying to sound all learned).
	9:48am YETI BOB: mariano: close. it's primes, not fibonacci numbers.
	9:48am Trouble: thanks@mark at koncepts!
	9:52am Slaboch: @Trouble just making sure that you were aware of these Alice Coltrane and June Tyson for President t-shirts. Sounding great this morning! https://mississippiwreckers.com/product/blue-alice-coltrane-t-shirt/
	9:52am Handy Haversack: Sigh, meeting at 10. Back for the last hour!
	9:53am YETI BOB: ttyl HH
	9:53am mariano: Ah, that's it, YETI BOB, thanks. See you later, Handy.
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fascinating about primes YetiB ! ...So where's my summer crickets?
	9:53am Passaic River Blues: @Slaboch: MY GOD! I love that shirt!
	9:54am Trouble: thank you @michael! i did not know that! i knew there was a tote bag but i wasn't sure it was for sale. that sounds outstanding!!! and i wanted to say that i am really enjoying listening to your show these days...
	9:54am βrian: Good morning. I thought I was looking at a pink surgical mask, there.
	9:56am Trouble: brian, are you seeing the world through pandemic glasses also?
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Slaboch wow. Simple great shirt
	9:57am YETI BOB: RevRab: I got cicadas for ya, don't know about your crickets. But there have been a lot of articles lately about how insect populations are declining worldwide, and what that might mean.
	9:57am Slaboch: aw thanks for listening Trouble! xox
	9:57am Webhamster Henry: Hi modern world!
	9:57am mariano: There was a really schlocky horror film from the 80s called "The Beast Within" involving a human cicada monster. Only thing I really remember from it is a guy sitting with his head against a wall, and the creature's hands burst through and pull the guy's head off (which of course they showed in slow motion).
	9:58am melinda: Diva!
	9:58am YETI BOB: @mariano: But was he a 13-year human cicada monster, or a 17-year human cicada monster?
	9:58am WoodsOfNH: Ah....Diva! My favorite movie.
	9:58am Strandlund: This whole show has been beautiful!!
	9:58am melinda: @Woods one of my favorites too.
	9:59am Trouble: @michael; you reminded me of a phil cohran album i hadnt played in foreves...
	9:59am Mick: La Wally! Bellisima!!
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seriously consider that just seeing people's entire faces again will be fresh - if we haven't in fact entered a new era of one novel contagion after another.
	10:00am WoodsOfNH: @melinda First time I saw it I thought...."How is this not more famous?!!!"
	10:00am Priscilla: Wow
	10:00am Rick A.: I always appreciate hearing something from The Diva soundtrack, one of the greatest films of the 80s. I went to a screening at BAM at the end of February, hosted by the musician Neon Indian who talked about how much the film has meant to him. The opening scene is truly stunning. Oh for the days when you could attend screenings!
	10:01am Cp304: morning peoples, had to pop in and say good stuff!! now back to video conference.. this in the background makes it better tho
	10:02am Ken From Hyde Park: One of Mark Mothersbaugh's lovely side projects, I presume?
	10:03am ?: diva, a movie that appreciates Nagras. not so sure about the relationship with underage nymphet...
	10:03am Listener Bop Monroe: diva, a movie that appreciates Nagras. not so sure about the relationship with underage nymphet...
	10:05am βrian: A phrase I recall from Diva, for no particular reason: "Ça pue l'essence !"
	10:07am Adrian in London: Apologies: I am being disloyal today and listening to Test Match Special. It’s the opening Test between England and the Windies. Forgive me. I promise to catch up in the archives. ;-)
	10:07am ?: Great show, thanks!
	10:08am Trouble: merci@strandlund!
	10:12am Slaboch: @trouble Aw I miss Cohran! I was actually just telling someone yesterday the story of the last time I helped booked Cohran to play the ‘African Skies’ album and open for Yo La Tengo. I’ll email you the hilarious and long winded story.
	10:14am mariano: YETI BOB: Haha! I don't know if the film clarified that point.
	10:22am waters7: Hello! I broke from my new Covid-Complacence rules (listening to a book while I pedal around Prospect Park) to listen to you, Trouble while I went around 3x. It was such a pleasure. thank you thank you thank you
	10:23am Passaic River Blues: This is a great track. For later listening, here's the link to Duane's interview of Buzzy and her DJ set from late April: wfmu.org...
	10:24am WoodsOfNH: Love the Buzzy Lee. I'm hearing a little Kate Bush in there.
	10:26am Trouble: hello @waters7: nice to hear you are pedaling while listening to wfmu
	10:30am ami ad: Is the house of cards coming down soon? JobLess.
	10:31am Trouble: i'm working on it @ami ad. I hope everyone else is too!
	10:34am ami ad: @Trouble:That you kindly,much appreciated.
	10:35am Priscilla: Supreme Court rules Trump has to release financial records, but "records likely to be shielded from public scrutiny until after the election"
	10:35am ami ad: Thank you kindly.
	10:36am Mick: For what it's worth, Supreme Court released a 7-2 decision rejecting the president's claim of absolute immunity and heightened standards for subpoenas
	10:36am Trouble: that is very good news! thanks @mick/priscilla
	10:37am ami ad: When will we find out he is really worth nothing?
	10:37am Trouble: we know that already@ ami ad
	10:38am WoodsOfNH: Yeah...but back to the lower courts. The American public will never see the records. Not when it really matters anyway.
	10:38am dave wuz here: it really mattered 5 years ago
	10:38am Rich Kemp: The building work next door is starting to get to me.
	10:41am Mark at Koncepts: Is someone going to turn the air on, please?
	10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Much talk that Drumpf's real campaign motivation is to keep executive immunity - so to see hit him denied it here is gratifying.
	10:43am Stevel: The anti-foreign student thing may also be a severe attack on higher education, as most attending from elsewhere pay full tuition.
	10:43am Ike: @Rich, me too! Jackhammer close to me, and I'm trying to work, ugh. At least I don't have any meetings.
	10:43am ami ad: The Parasite of the Untied States of Americaca.
	10:45am Jeezuseffinchrist: I still haven't gotten a census, anyone missing one too? I'm wondering if it can be done online
	10:45am Jeezuseffinchrist: PREACH IT
	10:46am Jeezuseffinchrist: but you know, viagra? totally covered, no questions
	10:47am Lucky: @Jeezuseffinchrist https://my2020census.gov/
	10:47am Jeezuseffinchrist: thanks @Lucky !!
	10:47am Mick: The new proposed rule to deny asylum claims to LGBTQ & HIV-positive people is pretty atrocious too
	10:47am Passaic River Blues: @Stevel: yep. The administration is accelerating its "burn everything down to the ground" campaign.
	10:49am Mike W: @Trouble it couldn’t possibly compare with the visceral traumas visited upon so many people daily, but i feel like the accumulated dissonance and stupidity of our elected officials’ actions and inactions represents some kinda stealth trauma in the minds of people who know better/think about people’s welfare first
	10:49am Jeezuseffinchrist: done! thanks again @Lucky!
	10:50am Rich Kemp: @Ike: The hammering outside synced up with the beat for three or four wonderful seconds.
	10:52am Trouble: that's exactly the playbook: create crazy and make people exhausted while their friends gorge on the public carcass. for some of those idiots it is just pure dysfunctional behavior, for most of them it is calculated and pure evil
	10:53am Mike W: we oppose calculated and pure evil most strenuously
	10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Artlessness of the Deal ...aka Mein Drumpf
	10:55am Lewis: While the money is very important, the other huge factor related to the census is the allocation of representatives in the Congress. Every 10 years the fixed number of members of the House is redistributed based on the census. Fill it out and you get more weight in Congress for your neck of the woods. That could mean strong progressive representation in the House!
	10:55am Arlene: Tell it, Trouble!
	10:56am Trouble: yes lewis! very good point! thanks and howdy@ arlene!
	10:57am Really Lisa: Also apparently trying to normalize all the Covid19 death.. the other day I saw circulating on Twitter, the White House is trying to put out statement about 'learn to live with it'. ?!?!?! Not fishing here.. some have seen me post on other shows.. my father was exposed to covid in a memory care home in NJ and of course died. This $hit is NOT normal, I will never drink their koolaid. P.s. gov murphy now taking a stand on masks is too little too late for those of us who've lost family in long term care.. thanks to the crippling lack of PPE in March and April, and thanks to his mandate to send covid positive people to live in LTC facilities. Done, thanks all.
	10:57am Crudbringer: Morning everyone! This constant fucking crisis on all fronts is really doing a number on us, huh?
	10:57am Really Lisa: Having rambled all of that, this and many other shows are an absolute tonic, and greatly appreciated!!!
	10:58am Handy Haversack: Gorge on the public carcass: well said, Trouble! Back for the last hour of modern gorging with you fine folx!
	10:58am ami ad: Do real progressives join governments?
	10:59am Lixiviated Life: Currently on the sofa, in my pajamas, eating popcorn, watching Twitter dig into the SCOTUS ruling re: DJT. (ah good times)
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Really Lisa - Sincere Condolences. Obviously the USA failed to flatten the curve - utterly avoidable - just as trouble says same here. Don't understand the actual malice as well as incompetence.
	11:00am Trouble: i'm sorry@ really lisa. that is a horrible way to lose a loved one
	11:01am Trouble: how was vermont @handy?
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *underestimate
	11:03am ami ad: @Really Lisa:Sorry to hear about your loss.Gov Murphy is another Capitalist tool/fool.
	11:03am Trouble: yes we do @ ami ad! only way to take down the power
	11:04am Really Lisa: TYSM @Rev Rabbit and @Trouble. Yeah now Gov Murphy is all over Twitter preaching about masks.. but you could hear crickets when begging him for PPE a couple of months ago. Thank you too, @ami ad! You said it!
	11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Nothing that happens in politics is an accident." - FDR
	11:05am Lucky: Learn to live with it? Is my boss the president all of a sudden? What a terrible and non-empathetic thing to say!
	11:06am ami ad: @Trouble:Seems to me like a lot of progressives in government tend to progress the way government goes.
	11:07am Lewis: And how is DJ Ice Pack?
	11:08am Handy Haversack: @Trouble: It was very nice. Bizarre in a way to do anything at all: when we crossed the Triboro and hit the Bronx, it was the first time we'd been on the U.S. mainland since coming back from Jersey City on March 16! But we met listener LCBD and Wendy del Formaggio and hiked and canoed and actually kind of relaxed for a couple of days. Also: beaver, owls, foxes, bluebird, bank swallows. Very nice!
	11:08am Really Lisa: Yes, @Lucky! I don't have the exact tweets handy at the moment.. here's an article referring to this 'advice': nymag.com...
	11:08am ami ad: @Lucky:My boss asked me if I'm trying to Capitalize on the situation when I asked if he will pay us more.Essential worker(supposedly).
	11:09am Crudbringer: Following a recent Resource Action, one of our execs literally referred to COVID-19 as "providing air cover".
	11:09am TVP: RI still has two Reps, although speculation is they'll probably lose one after this Census.
	11:10am Crudbringer: _THE SPICE MUST FLOW_
	11:11am WoodsOfNH: Is get back to normal for public schools about money? I can't figure it out. It's just crazy. Like they WANT more people to die to be "right."
	11:12am ami ad: Capitalism Only Values It's Dollars 19 -Alexander Heir
	11:12am PaulRobeson1920: Many SUNY campuses were built with the massive expenditures towards education during the Kennedy Years.
	11:12am Mike W: this show is the musical, love-fueled Civics class that very few people actually got in school
	11:12am geegee vindaloo: In my classes at RISD ( Film and Video ) we're doing Hybrid but I suspect I will be in class at the most 2-3 times. I'm super glad that this will allow my students to stay in the country.
	11:13am Pale Son: Every time someone says "the economy," ,I recommend replacing it in your mind with "the global system of oppression." It really helps to clarify things, especially when they try to make it sound like a person who has rights and needs taking care of.
	11:13am Trouble: dj ice pack is fine. His school is mostly going to online seminars, but we don't know if he will be on campus because they have shrunk it to a postage stamp amount of people for social distancing reasons. i hope he doesn't get housing and stays home, but either way it sucks for him
	11:13am Crudbringer: @Woods if the schools don't open, parents won't be productive cogs. Also, you might be surprised how many parents just _cannot fucking stand_ having their kids around.
	11:13am Trouble: very nice@handy. and i'm sure very needed...
	11:15am Ken From Hyde Park: An interesting quote from Germany's Angela Merkel: "We have seen lies and disinformation, and that is no way to fight the pandemic." Go, Mutti!
	11:16am geegee vindaloo: I hate that I even have to consider this as a way to deal. I'm over 60 and taking care of parents in their 80s.
	11:16am ami ad: @Pale Son:Nice,thanks. JobLess.
	11:17am Mike W: @WoodsOfNH i think for the criminal resident of the White S. House the get-back-to-normal-open-schools thing is first and foremost about the optics, to spur votes (i guess — the opposite look will run contrary to his assertion that things are under control and returning to normal), and thus to THEN be about money. they may or may not want more people to die, but they don’t care much if more people do.
	11:17am Trouble: that is challenging@ geegee vindaloo. i am sorry, this all sucks
	11:17am PaulRobeson1920: I can’t recall off the top which State of The Union JFK called for 100% increase in our Nations medical schools and 50% increase in Dental schools... The Kennedy Administration oversaw Massive expenditures toward education, dwarfing anything we have seen since that time.
	11:18am PaulRobeson1920: The ideals he put forth endure... June 10th, 1963 ... now that is a speech for the ages!
	11:18am Mike W: @Pale Son i love that word swap, it reminds me of Sean Bonney: ‘for “the fires of heaven” say fuck the police’...
	11:19am ami ad: White House Correctional Facility.Lock him in.
	11:19am Trouble: thanks @TVP! i remember from an earlier time after i moved down here that it went down to one, glad it is back up to 2!
	11:19am Pale Son: That sucks that you're jobless, Ami. We should all be getting paid just for being humans with all the intrinsic value that implies.
	11:20am Mister Dobalina: I'm very particular about how the name Cesar is spelled & something about how the title of this composition was show on here, bugged me.
	11:21am Mister Dobalina: I looked it up and the title is, Cesar...not ceasr.
	11:21am Pale Son: Ha ha, nice one, Mike!
	11:21am Trouble: thanks mister dobalina for correcting my typing error!
	11:22am Mister Dobalina: All bueno, thanks for updating.
	11:23am ami ad: @Pale Son:Cheers. Not the only one. Rather not make money for a rich boss anyway.
	11:24am p/b: Loving this harpsichord - who knew. Thanks and love from sticky bklyn
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Well, and Trouble is spot on: president's job is to create chaos and noise so the extractive capitalists can maintain the planet-killing status quo. The more insanity that has to be refuted, the more Trump's handlers can keep doing what they do without anyone focusing on them.
	11:25am WoodsOfNH: Pretty sure this is the first time I've heard a harpsichord in a jazz tune.
	11:25am Pale Son: I wonder what makes the drum kit baroque?
	11:26am Crudbringer: The sticks curl up at the end with little bells.
	11:26am Really Lisa: @geegee vindaloo 11:16, wishing you strength, sending positive thoughts. @ami ad, also to you, hope things get better. I am lucky to have work, even as a contract worker.
	11:26am PaulRobeson1920: The Medium is the Message. Traditionally we came to know our leaders and politicians through the newspapers, through their printed speeches, through their written works.
	11:26am B Wad: Tel Aviv enjoying this tune
	11:27am Pale Son: @Crud Hilarious!
	11:27am Handy Haversack: I'll let Eugene McDaniels take it from here!
	11:27am steveo: ad rock's down with the ione
	11:27am Mister Dobalina: Beastie Boys samp, right?
	11:28am Trouble: right!? @handy, brilliant.
	11:28am PaulRobeson1920: NYC’s own Neil Postman wrote a very finee book on this dynamic—“Amusing ourselves to death: Public Discourse in the age of show business”
	11:28am Pale Son: Loved that book, Paul!
	11:28am PaulRobeson1920: Heck yes
	11:29am TDK60: Woods - I heard some McCoy Tyner jazz harpsichord the other day, maybe here on WFMU.
	11:29am steve-b: hi trouble and all! thanks for another great show, and for introducing me to baroque jazz trio. loved zoma last month too.
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes just thinking about how the Clown Show may be diverting us - me - from how Killer the Clowns really are... But then what can we do but call him bad names & Vote ?
	11:30am Trouble: thanks@steve-b. I adore baroque jazz trio. they swing! and of course the massiveness of the harpsichord in full effect!
	11:31am PaulRobeson1920: “All I can do is call you a dirty name”- while you sit there with that shotgun -Punishment Park 1971 film by Peter Watkins
	11:31am TDK60: One problem about focus on the abhorrent chief exec is it can take away from an analysis about the ruling class in general.
	11:32am steveo: me too; that first note of the baroque jazz made my heart zing, as usual
	11:32am Trouble: @revolution rabbit: there are many grass roots organizations that are helping people and changing they way we think about government: get involved!! at the end of the day how we spend our money sends a message about what kind of world we want to support. think before you buy
	11:33am Carmichael: President Cheeto got his ass whupped again this morning, as SCOTUS says his financial records are fair game. Game over. Oh, and good morning.
	11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: I notice the stream has been a good, steady beat this morning. No glitches or other egregious technical errors. Thanks, DJ software and skeleton help.
	11:36am Trouble: earlier in the week i did a giant test session with the wonderful skeleton crew member ruth after my fantastic husband updated MIxxxx so it hopefully won't crash.... all the people who go into this little slice of a thursday, phew!!
	11:36am Gaylord Fields: Hi, Trouble — just a quick wave and me saying how needed this show has been, just speaking for myself — though I know others share this sentiment.
	11:36am PaulRobeson1920: The issue today, is the same issues of Kennedys time. Nobody wants to hear they gotta give something up... Racism, Imperialism, the War industries profits via the Military Industrial complex, the same that Dwight D. Eisenhower cautioned The American People against in his Farewell address... I digress... check out “War is a Racket” by Major Gen. Smedley D. Butler. The finest anti-War book around... Be well everybody i have to sign off. Great Show!
	11:37am ami ad: The Green Party US Primary is this Saturday...
	11:37am TDK60: I really dig this Epic album. Glad I stumbled across it at the public library. Oh! The NYPL is opening next Monday Jul. 13. Limited services at selected branches with just stop and pick up.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Sounds so good today, Trouble! So happy to have been here. Heading out to the river soon, so I'll wish you and all the Troubled as good a day as possible. Also, steveo, if stevel asks, steve-b is here.
	11:38am steveo: steve's m and n are absent though, as usual
	11:38am jt: Remember when W stood on the destroyer and declared "The war is finally over! " ? But the war wasn't over? The 'going back to school-thing' is a bit like that.
	11:38am Trouble: right now the green party can't gonna topple the cheetoh, got to vote very much with the eye on the necessary prize this year
	11:38am Lewis: @trouble - glad to hear he is doing well. I am teaching undergrads this semester, and they are coming to campus, but I would prefer they stay home. They will get all their content and contact from me virtually. (can you say "niche youtube star" ;-) )
	11:38am ami ad: @Handy:Safe sailings. Don't forget to hydrate.
	11:39am Trouble: excellent lewis! what do you teach? can i sit in on these you tube sessions?
	11:40am jt: Voting is all we've got and even that is adulterated ( watered down) by Gerrymandering and The Electoral College.
	11:40am TDK60: Voting is not all we've got. Witness a certain summer, this summer.
	11:41am ami ad: The Cheeto is crushing itself.
	11:42am Trouble: i agree but we need to be able to sweep that crushed cheeto out of office with a big ass broom and dustpan of a landslide
	11:42am WoodsOfNH: I have to admit, I do not get the appeal of Kamasi Washington.
	11:42am jt: That by Barkley L. Hendricks is amazing BTW. Totally re-kicking myself for missing the Harlem Museum Show in 2016 -was it?
	11:42am jt: @TDK60 ..touche
	11:43am ami ad: Yes,but replacing a Cheeto with a Vanilla wafer will not help much.
	11:43am Trouble: barkley l hendricks taught at connecticut college, i can't really get my head around that...
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & remember is for more than the POTUS & it really does have consequences ! Not sure what there is for grassroots Progressive change in smalltown NH here - people are here specifically to be out of the loop...tho there is an independent streak in New England...
	11:43am Lewis: I teach systems thinking - I am doing content asynchronously with the assigned class time broken into small groups. The content from last semester is here:www.youtube.com... I will be adding the first half of the course starting in late Aug / early Sept. All are welcome!
	11:45am Trouble: wow! very cool @ lewis! gracias!
	11:45am Passaic River Blues: Wow, this is fantastic.
	11:45am Trouble: @passaic: this whole record is superb!!!
	11:46am Trouble: it's on my new fave label music from memory
	11:46am TDK60: The Brooklyn library system is also reopening Jul. 13th. They are separate from the main NY library system.
	11:46am Mark at Koncepts: Sweet track!
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Please Please Please - plenty of time to excoriate a Democratic administration when the Fascists have been fired. You have to have something left 1st before you can Progress it. That's where we're @.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: No kidding, ami! I think I'm taking three water bottles along ...
	11:49am Passaic River Blues: I really enjoyed the Dip in the Pool record Music from Memory put out--I should investigate further.
	11:49am Roberto: Right on, RRNov63.
	11:51am WoodsOfNH: Oh yes, I will be purchasing: music-from-memory.bandcamp.com...
	11:51am Arlene: Also the group Reclaim Our Vote, which I've been working with, is doing great work.
	11:51am ami ad: Thank You DJ. Crew. Good thinking radio show. Thanks and Praise.
	11:51am TDK60: Thanks for mentioning voter suppression - the real voter fraud. We gotta get out there and support democratic (small 'd') rights.
	11:52am Lewis: indeed small "d" and local!
	11:54am Mike tp: beautiful krog...
	11:54am Mike W: this was going to be a hard day for me and i now feel a little more prepared to get through it, thanks @Trouble + skeletonys + everyone who kept the conversation a-rolling. this show attracts smart, heartful people!
	11:54am YETI BOB: @PaleSon@11:13 Hell yeah. I'll start using that. I've also heard suggestions to replace the word "taxes" with "services", so whe
	11:54am YETI BOB: so when politicians talk about "cutting taxes" , you know what they really mean - "cutting services"
	11:55am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble Thanks for another inspiring show. I don't know that I have "hope" at this point in time, but the fact that something like The Lincoln Project has sprung up....well, that's not a bad thing.
	11:56am TDK60: Bye Trouble; fine tunes.
	11:56am Really Lisa: Thank you, Trouble, crew, and all. Peace and positivity.
	11:56am ami ad: Government is there to govern,not serve...
	11:56am Pale Son: Yes! Great idea, Yeti.
	11:57am YETI BOB: Since the lockdown started I've been spending a lot of time on the WFMU boards. and it seems like the show with the consistently best conversations is this one. Thanks Trouble!
	11:57am Ken From Hyde Park: President Business allows predatory lending to go forth. www.theroot.com... Anything to rip off the people who can least afford it.
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today! let's work to be optimistic and create change! it can be done...or my name isn't trouble
	11:57am Mike W: it’s possible i’m radicalized but @WoodsOfNH i am against this Lincoln Project — it’s literally republicans sans trump, is all. they want to return to the cutting taxes/SERVICES (thanks @Yeti Bob) that went on under W, just without the poor optics of trump’s actions.
	11:58am Pale Son: Got a song of general political optimism on my Bandcamp page since last night, if anyone's interested. Link in profile.
	11:58am YETI BOB: @ami ad: providing services (roads, schools, public health) is a vital part of government, unless you are drinking the libertarian kool-aid
	11:58am Pale Son: Thanks for all the wonderful music and convo!
	11:58am WoodsOfNH: @Mike W Long-term goals might be suspect, but if they get the gorilla out of office, that helps.
	11:59am ami ad: @YETI BOB:Nah,but would like them to focus more on the service part.
	11:59am Priscilla: Thank you Trouble! Stay well!
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY DJ T
	11:59am dougseidel: I agree with @pale son - this is a good place
	11:59am steveo: thank you DJ Trouble!
	12:00pm mariano: Thank you!
	12:00pm dougseidel: thanks trooble
	12:01pm Avrilinmay: THANK YOU
	6:13pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: just wanted to say i really enjoyed this set. Can I do that a couple days later?

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.

	9:14am Threemoons: Stuff not going great on the new job for a number of reasons beyond my control, but hanging in there. Thanks Trouble for this amazing mellow music to help me keep my head on straight.
	9:15am thormagma on mobile: morning trouble. solidarity to you and all educators in the US
	9:15am vanya moscow: I just realized I’m June Tyson fan and should hear all her stuff. I’ve only heard her with Sun Ra before
	9:15am Abi: Can anyone tell me the name of the last song that played? I missed it :(
	9:15am Strandlund: I LOVE this song Trouble!! Thanks!
	9:16am Trouble: omg the street cleaner just swept by. trying to keep the windows barely cracked but that was soooo loud. luckily i wasn't on mic. the trials of home dj'ing...
	9:16am Abi: Oh never mind i think i see it!! Haha sorry new to the board!
	9:16am Priscilla: Perfect staycation music
	9:16am Snoochienucci: hey all! always loved this one, the whole album is amazing! loving it as per usual Trouble!

	9:17am dale: hello. love this cd. sexy boy is a great track.

	9:19am Dances with Moomins: I haven't read that! I will.
	9:19am Trouble: @vanya: june's only records that i know of are with sun ra, but the release i played this morning is a collection of her most memorable moments with the sun ra arkestra. she was an amazing singer and human being...
	9:19am Heidee: Aaah the bliss... Thank you. The chat at Clay's has hyped me up a wee bit. Time to relax now. Looking forward to the show.
	9:19am Handy Haversack: Hey, Snoochie!
	9:20am Pale Son: Thanks, Trouble! Loving the French vibes.
	9:20am YETI BOB: June Tyson not only sang, she also played violin and designed costumes for the Arkestra.
	9:21am YETI BOB: And those were some awesome costumes!
	9:22am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Chirps ahoy.
	9:23am melinda: Great Air. Didn't know that one.
	9:23am vanya moscow: Thank you for answering, Trouble! Found this collection on bandcamp. Was touched to discover Sun Ra website is somehow affiliated with Irwin Chusid. Long time listener, thank you for turning me to skiff
	9:24am vanya moscow: ..I mean, “stuff”
	9:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Birdsong aplenty in open window season in New Hampshire here - but no crickets yet ! - ? ? How's that with y'all ? Who got thuh criggit 411 ?
	9:25am YETI BOB: @melinda: I feel like there was a period of time in the 90s when I couldn't go anywhere without hearing "French Band" Air. Then it went completely out of style and I didn't hear them for years, until this morning. Sounded good.
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: YetiB did not know June did costuming. Irwin much involved with serving the recorded legacy of SunRa.
	9:29am Snoochienucci: Hey Handy! hope your doing well!
	9:31am Handy Haversack: Doing OK, Snooch. Going to get out on the water this afternoon! How are things on your side of the rivers?
	9:34am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble and troubled masses. Determined to have a great day in spite of whatever the news websites are reporting.
	9:34am Snoochienucci: niceeeee Handy, you kayak i think you mentioned right? Either way looking like a nice day to get outside. and not bad, another busy thursday for me, but ill have off all next week, which im really looking forward to.
	9:36am YETI BOB: @RevRab1163: We heard what sounded like cicadas yesterday (in Chicago). I'm not sure if this is one of those years. Also lots of birds.
	9:37am YETI BOB: Maybe it's the "Northern Illinois Sub-Brood". web.extension.illinois.edu...
	9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Yeti B: I heard it is that year in the 17-year cicada cycle.
	9:43am mariano: 'Morning Trouble, crew, folks.
	9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: You're talking about cicadian rhythms? I always wondered how that worked.
	9:44am YETI BOB: RevRab: It looks a bit complicated, there are 13 and 17 year cycles, and different "sub-broods". I'm reading up on it now. I learned that Illinois has the largest emergence of cicadas known anywhere, but that's not due until 2024. There's a smaller emergence this year though. Check that page I linked (well that's for IL not NH).
	9:45am Mike W: @Trouble when you hear the words “this is the modern world” in your head, is it in Paul Weller’s growl?
	9:46am Handy Haversack: "Stephane's Blues" kept reminding me of "I Can't Wait to Get Off Work and See My Baby."
	9:46am Trouble: yes @mike W it is! style council has always been one of my favorite bands, and of course the jam...
	9:46am TDK60: I think but am not sure that Style Council song is about the 1984 miner strike in UK.
	9:46am Mark at Koncepts: Amazing start
	9:47am YETI BOB: @KFHP: I also read that cicada cycles are prime numbers of years, because it produces cycles that are less likely to be in-phase with other natural cycles (predators, etc). Math rules!
	9:47am mariano: Doesn't that 17-year cycle reflect the Fibonacci sequence or something along those lines? (Listen to me trying to sound all learned).
	9:48am YETI BOB: mariano: close. it's primes, not fibonacci numbers.
	9:48am Trouble: thanks@mark at koncepts!
	9:52am Slaboch: @Trouble just making sure that you were aware of these Alice Coltrane and June Tyson for President t-shirts. Sounding great this morning! https://mississippiwreckers.com/product/blue-alice-coltrane-t-shirt/
	9:52am Handy Haversack: Sigh, meeting at 10. Back for the last hour!
	9:53am YETI BOB: ttyl HH
	9:53am mariano: Ah, that's it, YETI BOB, thanks. See you later, Handy.
	9:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Fascinating about primes YetiB ! ...So where's my summer crickets?
	9:53am Passaic River Blues: @Slaboch: MY GOD! I love that shirt!
	9:54am Trouble: thank you @michael! i did not know that! i knew there was a tote bag but i wasn't sure it was for sale. that sounds outstanding!!! and i wanted to say that i am really enjoying listening to your show these days...
	9:54am βrian: Good morning. I thought I was looking at a pink surgical mask, there.
	9:56am Trouble: brian, are you seeing the world through pandemic glasses also?
	9:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Slaboch wow. Simple great shirt
	9:57am YETI BOB: RevRab: I got cicadas for ya, don't know about your crickets. But there have been a lot of articles lately about how insect populations are declining worldwide, and what that might mean.
	9:57am Slaboch: aw thanks for listening Trouble! xox
	9:57am Webhamster Henry: Hi modern world!
	9:57am mariano: There was a really schlocky horror film from the 80s called "The Beast Within" involving a human cicada monster. Only thing I really remember from it is a guy sitting with his head against a wall, and the creature's hands burst through and pull the guy's head off (which of course they showed in slow motion).
	9:58am melinda: Diva!
	9:58am YETI BOB: @mariano: But was he a 13-year human cicada monster, or a 17-year human cicada monster?
	9:58am WoodsOfNH: Ah....Diva! My favorite movie.
	9:58am Strandlund: This whole show has been beautiful!!
	9:58am melinda: @Woods one of my favorites too.
	9:59am Trouble: @michael; you reminded me of a phil cohran album i hadnt played in foreves...
	9:59am Mick: La Wally! Bellisima!!
	10:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seriously consider that just seeing people's entire faces again will be fresh - if we haven't in fact entered a new era of one novel contagion after another.
	10:00am WoodsOfNH: @melinda First time I saw it I thought...."How is this not more famous?!!!"
	10:00am Priscilla: Wow
	10:00am Rick A.: I always appreciate hearing something from The Diva soundtrack, one of the greatest films of the 80s. I went to a screening at BAM at the end of February, hosted by the musician Neon Indian who talked about how much the film has meant to him. The opening scene is truly stunning. Oh for the days when you could attend screenings!
	10:01am Cp304: morning peoples, had to pop in and say good stuff!! now back to video conference.. this in the background makes it better tho
	10:02am Ken From Hyde Park: One of Mark Mothersbaugh's lovely side projects, I presume?
	10:03am ?: diva, a movie that appreciates Nagras. not so sure about the relationship with underage nymphet...
	10:03am Listener Bop Monroe: diva, a movie that appreciates Nagras. not so sure about the relationship with underage nymphet...
	10:05am βrian: A phrase I recall from Diva, for no particular reason: "Ça pue l'essence !"
	10:07am Adrian in London: Apologies: I am being disloyal today and listening to Test Match Special. It’s the opening Test between England and the Windies. Forgive me. I promise to catch up in the archives. ;-)
	10:07am ?: Great show, thanks!
	10:08am Trouble: merci@strandlund!
	10:12am Slaboch: @trouble Aw I miss Cohran! I was actually just telling someone yesterday the story of the last time I helped booked Cohran to play the ‘African Skies’ album and open for Yo La Tengo. I’ll email you the hilarious and long winded story.
	10:14am mariano: YETI BOB: Haha! I don't know if the film clarified that point.
	10:22am waters7: Hello! I broke from my new Covid-Complacence rules (listening to a book while I pedal around Prospect Park) to listen to you, Trouble while I went around 3x. It was such a pleasure. thank you thank you thank you
	10:23am Passaic River Blues: This is a great track. For later listening, here's the link to Duane's interview of Buzzy and her DJ set from late April: wfmu.org...
	10:24am WoodsOfNH: Love the Buzzy Lee. I'm hearing a little Kate Bush in there.
	10:26am Trouble: hello @waters7: nice to hear you are pedaling while listening to wfmu
	10:30am ami ad: Is the house of cards coming down soon? JobLess.
	10:31am Trouble: i'm working on it @ami ad. I hope everyone else is too!
	10:34am ami ad: @Trouble:That you kindly,much appreciated.
	10:35am Priscilla: Supreme Court rules Trump has to release financial records, but "records likely to be shielded from public scrutiny until after the election"
	10:35am ami ad: Thank you kindly.
	10:36am Mick: For what it's worth, Supreme Court released a 7-2 decision rejecting the president's claim of absolute immunity and heightened standards for subpoenas
	10:36am Trouble: that is very good news! thanks @mick/priscilla
	10:37am ami ad: When will we find out he is really worth nothing?
	10:37am Trouble: we know that already@ ami ad
	10:38am WoodsOfNH: Yeah...but back to the lower courts. The American public will never see the records. Not when it really matters anyway.
	10:38am dave wuz here: it really mattered 5 years ago
	10:38am Rich Kemp: The building work next door is starting to get to me.
	10:41am Mark at Koncepts: Is someone going to turn the air on, please?
	10:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Much talk that Drumpf's real campaign motivation is to keep executive immunity - so to see hit him denied it here is gratifying.
	10:43am Stevel: The anti-foreign student thing may also be a severe attack on higher education, as most attending from elsewhere pay full tuition.
	10:43am Ike: @Rich, me too! Jackhammer close to me, and I'm trying to work, ugh. At least I don't have any meetings.
	10:43am ami ad: The Parasite of the Untied States of Americaca.
	10:45am Jeezuseffinchrist: I still haven't gotten a census, anyone missing one too? I'm wondering if it can be done online
	10:45am Jeezuseffinchrist: PREACH IT
	10:46am Jeezuseffinchrist: but you know, viagra? totally covered, no questions
	10:47am Lucky: @Jeezuseffinchrist https://my2020census.gov/
	10:47am Jeezuseffinchrist: thanks @Lucky !!
	10:47am Mick: The new proposed rule to deny asylum claims to LGBTQ & HIV-positive people is pretty atrocious too
	10:47am Passaic River Blues: @Stevel: yep. The administration is accelerating its "burn everything down to the ground" campaign.
	10:49am Mike W: @Trouble it couldn’t possibly compare with the visceral traumas visited upon so many people daily, but i feel like the accumulated dissonance and stupidity of our elected officials’ actions and inactions represents some kinda stealth trauma in the minds of people who know better/think about people’s welfare first
	10:49am Jeezuseffinchrist: done! thanks again @Lucky!
	10:50am Rich Kemp: @Ike: The hammering outside synced up with the beat for three or four wonderful seconds.
	10:52am Trouble: that's exactly the playbook: create crazy and make people exhausted while their friends gorge on the public carcass. for some of those idiots it is just pure dysfunctional behavior, for most of them it is calculated and pure evil
	10:53am Mike W: we oppose calculated and pure evil most strenuously
	10:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Artlessness of the Deal ...aka Mein Drumpf
	10:55am Lewis: While the money is very important, the other huge factor related to the census is the allocation of representatives in the Congress. Every 10 years the fixed number of members of the House is redistributed based on the census. Fill it out and you get more weight in Congress for your neck of the woods. That could mean strong progressive representation in the House!
	10:55am Arlene: Tell it, Trouble!
	10:56am Trouble: yes lewis! very good point! thanks and howdy@ arlene!
	10:57am Really Lisa: Also apparently trying to normalize all the Covid19 death.. the other day I saw circulating on Twitter, the White House is trying to put out statement about 'learn to live with it'. ?!?!?! Not fishing here.. some have seen me post on other shows.. my father was exposed to covid in a memory care home in NJ and of course died. This $hit is NOT normal, I will never drink their koolaid. P.s. gov murphy now taking a stand on masks is too little too late for those of us who've lost family in long term care.. thanks to the crippling lack of PPE in March and April, and thanks to his mandate to send covid positive people to live in LTC facilities. Done, thanks all.
	10:57am Crudbringer: Morning everyone! This constant fucking crisis on all fronts is really doing a number on us, huh?
	10:57am Really Lisa: Having rambled all of that, this and many other shows are an absolute tonic, and greatly appreciated!!!
	10:58am Handy Haversack: Gorge on the public carcass: well said, Trouble! Back for the last hour of modern gorging with you fine folx!
	10:58am ami ad: Do real progressives join governments?
	10:59am Lixiviated Life: Currently on the sofa, in my pajamas, eating popcorn, watching Twitter dig into the SCOTUS ruling re: DJT. (ah good times)
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Really Lisa - Sincere Condolences. Obviously the USA failed to flatten the curve - utterly avoidable - just as trouble says same here. Don't understand the actual malice as well as incompetence.
	11:00am Trouble: i'm sorry@ really lisa. that is a horrible way to lose a loved one
	11:01am Trouble: how was vermont @handy?
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *underestimate
	11:03am ami ad: @Really Lisa:Sorry to hear about your loss.Gov Murphy is another Capitalist tool/fool.
	11:03am Trouble: yes we do @ ami ad! only way to take down the power
	11:04am Really Lisa: TYSM @Rev Rabbit and @Trouble. Yeah now Gov Murphy is all over Twitter preaching about masks.. but you could hear crickets when begging him for PPE a couple of months ago. Thank you too, @ami ad! You said it!
	11:04am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'Nothing that happens in politics is an accident." - FDR
	11:05am Lucky: Learn to live with it? Is my boss the president all of a sudden? What a terrible and non-empathetic thing to say!
	11:06am ami ad: @Trouble:Seems to me like a lot of progressives in government tend to progress the way government goes.
	11:07am Lewis: And how is DJ Ice Pack?
	11:08am Handy Haversack: @Trouble: It was very nice. Bizarre in a way to do anything at all: when we crossed the Triboro and hit the Bronx, it was the first time we'd been on the U.S. mainland since coming back from Jersey City on March 16! But we met listener LCBD and Wendy del Formaggio and hiked and canoed and actually kind of relaxed for a couple of days. Also: beaver, owls, foxes, bluebird, bank swallows. Very nice!
	11:08am Really Lisa: Yes, @Lucky! I don't have the exact tweets handy at the moment.. here's an article referring to this 'advice': nymag.com...
	11:08am ami ad: @Lucky:My boss asked me if I'm trying to Capitalize on the situation when I asked if he will pay us more.Essential worker(supposedly).
	11:09am Crudbringer: Following a recent Resource Action, one of our execs literally referred to COVID-19 as "providing air cover".
	11:09am TVP: RI still has two Reps, although speculation is they'll probably lose one after this Census.
	11:10am Crudbringer: _THE SPICE MUST FLOW_
	11:11am WoodsOfNH: Is get back to normal for public schools about money? I can't figure it out. It's just crazy. Like they WANT more people to die to be "right."
	11:12am ami ad: Capitalism Only Values It's Dollars 19 -Alexander Heir
	11:12am PaulRobeson1920: Many SUNY campuses were built with the massive expenditures towards education during the Kennedy Years.
	11:12am Mike W: this show is the musical, love-fueled Civics class that very few people actually got in school
	11:12am geegee vindaloo: In my classes at RISD ( Film and Video ) we're doing Hybrid but I suspect I will be in class at the most 2-3 times. I'm super glad that this will allow my students to stay in the country.
	11:13am Pale Son: Every time someone says "the economy," ,I recommend replacing it in your mind with "the global system of oppression." It really helps to clarify things, especially when they try to make it sound like a person who has rights and needs taking care of.
	11:13am Trouble: dj ice pack is fine. His school is mostly going to online seminars, but we don't know if he will be on campus because they have shrunk it to a postage stamp amount of people for social distancing reasons. i hope he doesn't get housing and stays home, but either way it sucks for him
	11:13am Crudbringer: @Woods if the schools don't open, parents won't be productive cogs. Also, you might be surprised how many parents just _cannot fucking stand_ having their kids around.
	11:13am Trouble: very nice@handy. and i'm sure very needed...
	11:15am Ken From Hyde Park: An interesting quote from Germany's Angela Merkel: "We have seen lies and disinformation, and that is no way to fight the pandemic." Go, Mutti!
	11:16am geegee vindaloo: I hate that I even have to consider this as a way to deal. I'm over 60 and taking care of parents in their 80s.
	11:16am ami ad: @Pale Son:Nice,thanks. JobLess.
	11:17am Mike W: @WoodsOfNH i think for the criminal resident of the White S. House the get-back-to-normal-open-schools thing is first and foremost about the optics, to spur votes (i guess — the opposite look will run contrary to his assertion that things are under control and returning to normal), and thus to THEN be about money. they may or may not want more people to die, but they don’t care much if more people do.
	11:17am Trouble: that is challenging@ geegee vindaloo. i am sorry, this all sucks
	11:17am PaulRobeson1920: I can’t recall off the top which State of The Union JFK called for 100% increase in our Nations medical schools and 50% increase in Dental schools... The Kennedy Administration oversaw Massive expenditures toward education, dwarfing anything we have seen since that time.
	11:18am PaulRobeson1920: The ideals he put forth endure... June 10th, 1963 ... now that is a speech for the ages!
	11:18am Mike W: @Pale Son i love that word swap, it reminds me of Sean Bonney: ‘for “the fires of heaven” say fuck the police’...
	11:19am ami ad: White House Correctional Facility.Lock him in.
	11:19am Trouble: thanks @TVP! i remember from an earlier time after i moved down here that it went down to one, glad it is back up to 2!
	11:19am Pale Son: That sucks that you're jobless, Ami. We should all be getting paid just for being humans with all the intrinsic value that implies.
	11:20am Mister Dobalina: I'm very particular about how the name Cesar is spelled & something about how the title of this composition was show on here, bugged me.
	11:21am Mister Dobalina: I looked it up and the title is, Cesar...not ceasr.
	11:21am Pale Son: Ha ha, nice one, Mike!
	11:21am Trouble: thanks mister dobalina for correcting my typing error!
	11:22am Mister Dobalina: All bueno, thanks for updating.
	11:23am ami ad: @Pale Son:Cheers. Not the only one. Rather not make money for a rich boss anyway.
	11:24am p/b: Loving this harpsichord - who knew. Thanks and love from sticky bklyn
	11:24am Handy Haversack: Well, and Trouble is spot on: president's job is to create chaos and noise so the extractive capitalists can maintain the planet-killing status quo. The more insanity that has to be refuted, the more Trump's handlers can keep doing what they do without anyone focusing on them.
	11:25am WoodsOfNH: Pretty sure this is the first time I've heard a harpsichord in a jazz tune.
	11:25am Pale Son: I wonder what makes the drum kit baroque?
	11:26am Crudbringer: The sticks curl up at the end with little bells.
	11:26am Really Lisa: @geegee vindaloo 11:16, wishing you strength, sending positive thoughts. @ami ad, also to you, hope things get better. I am lucky to have work, even as a contract worker.
	11:26am PaulRobeson1920: The Medium is the Message. Traditionally we came to know our leaders and politicians through the newspapers, through their printed speeches, through their written works.
	11:26am B Wad: Tel Aviv enjoying this tune
	11:27am Pale Son: @Crud Hilarious!
	11:27am Handy Haversack: I'll let Eugene McDaniels take it from here!
	11:27am steveo: ad rock's down with the ione
	11:27am Mister Dobalina: Beastie Boys samp, right?
	11:28am Trouble: right!? @handy, brilliant.
	11:28am PaulRobeson1920: NYC’s own Neil Postman wrote a very finee book on this dynamic—“Amusing ourselves to death: Public Discourse in the age of show business”
	11:28am Pale Son: Loved that book, Paul!
	11:28am PaulRobeson1920: Heck yes
	11:29am TDK60: Woods - I heard some McCoy Tyner jazz harpsichord the other day, maybe here on WFMU.
	11:29am steve-b: hi trouble and all! thanks for another great show, and for introducing me to baroque jazz trio. loved zoma last month too.
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes just thinking about how the Clown Show may be diverting us - me - from how Killer the Clowns really are... But then what can we do but call him bad names & Vote ?
	11:30am Trouble: thanks@steve-b. I adore baroque jazz trio. they swing! and of course the massiveness of the harpsichord in full effect!
	11:31am PaulRobeson1920: “All I can do is call you a dirty name”- while you sit there with that shotgun -Punishment Park 1971 film by Peter Watkins
	11:31am TDK60: One problem about focus on the abhorrent chief exec is it can take away from an analysis about the ruling class in general.
	11:32am steveo: me too; that first note of the baroque jazz made my heart zing, as usual
	11:32am Trouble: @revolution rabbit: there are many grass roots organizations that are helping people and changing they way we think about government: get involved!! at the end of the day how we spend our money sends a message about what kind of world we want to support. think before you buy
	11:33am Carmichael: President Cheeto got his ass whupped again this morning, as SCOTUS says his financial records are fair game. Game over. Oh, and good morning.
	11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: I notice the stream has been a good, steady beat this morning. No glitches or other egregious technical errors. Thanks, DJ software and skeleton help.
	11:36am Trouble: earlier in the week i did a giant test session with the wonderful skeleton crew member ruth after my fantastic husband updated MIxxxx so it hopefully won't crash.... all the people who go into this little slice of a thursday, phew!!
	11:36am Gaylord Fields: Hi, Trouble — just a quick wave and me saying how needed this show has been, just speaking for myself — though I know others share this sentiment.
	11:36am PaulRobeson1920: The issue today, is the same issues of Kennedys time. Nobody wants to hear they gotta give something up... Racism, Imperialism, the War industries profits via the Military Industrial complex, the same that Dwight D. Eisenhower cautioned The American People against in his Farewell address... I digress... check out “War is a Racket” by Major Gen. Smedley D. Butler. The finest anti-War book around... Be well everybody i have to sign off. Great Show!
	11:37am ami ad: The Green Party US Primary is this Saturday...
	11:37am TDK60: I really dig this Epic album. Glad I stumbled across it at the public library. Oh! The NYPL is opening next Monday Jul. 13. Limited services at selected branches with just stop and pick up.
	11:37am Handy Haversack: Sounds so good today, Trouble! So happy to have been here. Heading out to the river soon, so I'll wish you and all the Troubled as good a day as possible. Also, steveo, if stevel asks, steve-b is here.
	11:38am steveo: steve's m and n are absent though, as usual
	11:38am jt: Remember when W stood on the destroyer and declared "The war is finally over! " ? But the war wasn't over? The 'going back to school-thing' is a bit like that.
	11:38am Trouble: right now the green party can't gonna topple the cheetoh, got to vote very much with the eye on the necessary prize this year
	11:38am Lewis: @trouble - glad to hear he is doing well. I am teaching undergrads this semester, and they are coming to campus, but I would prefer they stay home. They will get all their content and contact from me virtually. (can you say "niche youtube star" ;-) )
	11:38am ami ad: @Handy:Safe sailings. Don't forget to hydrate.
	11:39am Trouble: excellent lewis! what do you teach? can i sit in on these you tube sessions?
	11:40am jt: Voting is all we've got and even that is adulterated ( watered down) by Gerrymandering and The Electoral College.
	11:40am TDK60: Voting is not all we've got. Witness a certain summer, this summer.
	11:41am ami ad: The Cheeto is crushing itself.
	11:42am Trouble: i agree but we need to be able to sweep that crushed cheeto out of office with a big ass broom and dustpan of a landslide
	11:42am WoodsOfNH: I have to admit, I do not get the appeal of Kamasi Washington.
	11:42am jt: That by Barkley L. Hendricks is amazing BTW. Totally re-kicking myself for missing the Harlem Museum Show in 2016 -was it?
	11:42am jt: @TDK60 ..touche
	11:43am ami ad: Yes,but replacing a Cheeto with a Vanilla wafer will not help much.
	11:43am Trouble: barkley l hendricks taught at connecticut college, i can't really get my head around that...
	11:43am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & remember is for more than the POTUS & it really does have consequences ! Not sure what there is for grassroots Progressive change in smalltown NH here - people are here specifically to be out of the loop...tho there is an independent streak in New England...
	11:43am Lewis: I teach systems thinking - I am doing content asynchronously with the assigned class time broken into small groups. The content from last semester is here:www.youtube.com... I will be adding the first half of the course starting in late Aug / early Sept. All are welcome!
	11:45am Trouble: wow! very cool @ lewis! gracias!
	11:45am Passaic River Blues: Wow, this is fantastic.
	11:45am Trouble: @passaic: this whole record is superb!!!
	11:46am Trouble: it's on my new fave label music from memory
	11:46am TDK60: The Brooklyn library system is also reopening Jul. 13th. They are separate from the main NY library system.
	11:46am Mark at Koncepts: Sweet track!
	11:47am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Please Please Please - plenty of time to excoriate a Democratic administration when the Fascists have been fired. You have to have something left 1st before you can Progress it. That's where we're @.
	11:47am Handy Haversack: No kidding, ami! I think I'm taking three water bottles along ...
	11:49am Passaic River Blues: I really enjoyed the Dip in the Pool record Music from Memory put out--I should investigate further.
	11:49am Roberto: Right on, RRNov63.
	11:51am WoodsOfNH: Oh yes, I will be purchasing: music-from-memory.bandcamp.com...
	11:51am Arlene: Also the group Reclaim Our Vote, which I've been working with, is doing great work.
	11:51am ami ad: Thank You DJ. Crew. Good thinking radio show. Thanks and Praise.
	11:51am TDK60: Thanks for mentioning voter suppression - the real voter fraud. We gotta get out there and support democratic (small 'd') rights.
	11:52am Lewis: indeed small "d" and local!
	11:54am Mike tp: beautiful krog...
	11:54am Mike W: this was going to be a hard day for me and i now feel a little more prepared to get through it, thanks @Trouble + skeletonys + everyone who kept the conversation a-rolling. this show attracts smart, heartful people!
	11:54am YETI BOB: @PaleSon@11:13 Hell yeah. I'll start using that. I've also heard suggestions to replace the word "taxes" with "services", so whe
	11:54am YETI BOB: so when politicians talk about "cutting taxes" , you know what they really mean - "cutting services"
	11:55am WoodsOfNH: @Trouble Thanks for another inspiring show. I don't know that I have "hope" at this point in time, but the fact that something like The Lincoln Project has sprung up....well, that's not a bad thing.
	11:56am TDK60: Bye Trouble; fine tunes.
	11:56am Really Lisa: Thank you, Trouble, crew, and all. Peace and positivity.
	11:56am ami ad: Government is there to govern,not serve...
	11:56am Pale Son: Yes! Great idea, Yeti.
	11:57am YETI BOB: Since the lockdown started I've been spending a lot of time on the WFMU boards. and it seems like the show with the consistently best conversations is this one. Thanks Trouble!
	11:57am Ken From Hyde Park: President Business allows predatory lending to go forth. www.theroot.com... Anything to rip off the people who can least afford it.
	11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in today! let's work to be optimistic and create change! it can be done...or my name isn't trouble
	11:57am Mike W: it’s possible i’m radicalized but @WoodsOfNH i am against this Lincoln Project — it’s literally republicans sans trump, is all. they want to return to the cutting taxes/SERVICES (thanks @Yeti Bob) that went on under W, just without the poor optics of trump’s actions.
	11:58am Pale Son: Got a song of general political optimism on my Bandcamp page since last night, if anyone's interested. Link in profile.
	11:58am YETI BOB: @ami ad: providing services (roads, schools, public health) is a vital part of government, unless you are drinking the libertarian kool-aid
	11:58am Pale Son: Thanks for all the wonderful music and convo!
	11:58am WoodsOfNH: @Mike W Long-term goals might be suspect, but if they get the gorilla out of office, that helps.
	11:59am ami ad: @YETI BOB:Nah,but would like them to focus more on the service part.
	11:59am Priscilla: Thank you Trouble! Stay well!
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY DJ T
	11:59am dougseidel: I agree with @pale son - this is a good place
	11:59am steveo: thank you DJ Trouble!
	12:00pm mariano: Thank you!
	12:00pm dougseidel: thanks trooble
	12:01pm Avrilinmay: THANK YOU
	6:13pm ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: just wanted to say i really enjoyed this set. Can I do that a couple days later?
