WFMU: This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from May 20, 2021

Listener comments!
	9:00am DJ Guin: Come quietly or there will be... trouble.
	9:01am Mike W: was about to walk out door with Dog and then heard...this
	9:01am Robm: Hello trouble and fellow trouble makers
	9:02am shobhi: Morning, morning, morning.
	9:02am TDK60: Bon mati!
	9:03am Mike W: a massive raagaa
	9:03am Trouble: bonjour mes amis! happy thursday morning in radio land!
	9:04am Robm: @Mike W you never want to turn this station off
	9:04am Strandlund: Nothing but Trouble!!
	9:04am TDK60: (Doing the Catalan "good morning" instead of French today.)
	9:05am Mike W: @Robm I was walking out the door with the radio still on; i do never turn it off
	9:05am Strandlund: @Robm...Totally Agree!!
	9:06am Mike W: if the guidance is “never turn it off and never leave your home,” well, we’ve done that too
	9:08am JT: very nice tdk60. i binged merce rodoreda's oeuvre recently.
	9:09am steveo: good morning!
	9:10am ?: @TDK60: i un bon matí és, de fet!
	9:10am TDK60: Hi JT. Never heard of Rodoreda. More homework, because of WFMU, darnit! Hee. \| I admire the drawing or painting. Pencil? Pen? Surrealistic in a way.
	9:10am YETI BOB: Big Ups to the Brooklyn Raga Massive
	9:10am Robm: @Mike W this station has kept me sane with COVID-19 and the election, the DJs like trouble always bring their a game
	9:11am Handy Haversack: Shining Thursday greetings, Trouble and all the Troubled! Excellent art, excellent Malcolm X title, excellent Brooklyn Raga Massive. All-around excellence!
	9:13am headcleaner: nice hearing this piece again... too bad the Massive got rained out of LIC, the other week
	9:13am Mike W: @Robm yeah, to a pretty maximal degree in this household too. i made my first swag-fer-life pledge last year about 20 minutes before the lockdown, immediately and briefly regretted it due to my plummeting fortunes, then proceeded to extract the equivalent of $11 billion in psychic relief via months of listening
	9:14am JT: @TDK Rodoreda was a Catalan writer who spent the Spanish Civil War in exile. highly recommended, underappreciated.
	9:14am Mike W: ...and upped my pledging this year by slashing my dog’s treat budget! [dog’s ears flick angrily]
	9:15am Handy Haversack: Dusty! Bagpipe will (grudgingly) share Sweet Potato Steak Frites with you!
	9:15am Robm: @Mike W guess you did not have a very happy dog
	9:16am TDK60: Morning Handy; give Bagpipe a pat from me. \| Thanks, JT for the info.
	9:17am Mike W: my dog is stupefyingly happy actually: drive.google.com...
	9:17am Robm: @Mike W and there were days I did not listen or watch the news
	9:18am Mike W: despite my funneling tens of dollars away from useless “chicken” and “salmon” and “dog food” and toward freeform radio
	9:19am Mike W: Brooklyn Bagpipe Massive!
	9:19am Handy Haversack: Will do, TDK60. He's lying in a sunbeam with the White Wind blowing all around him (cottonwood down the block).
	9:20am Skyzyx: Hi Trouble and troublers. I read a book called “Sex and Broadcasting” 50 years ago. The author espoused the value of non-commercial, free form radio with eclectic playlists covering all genres of music from around the world. WFMU embodies that principle, especially with shows like this one. I thank the DJs, the staff, Ken Friedman, the chatters, and the listeners that make this station possible.
	9:20am Threemoons: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers, on a Triumphant Thursday. So glad to hear the news last night RE the Man in NJ laying off WFMU!
	9:21am steveo: sounding great; love, love liz durette
	9:21am Webhamster Henry: Hi modern world inhabitants!
	9:22am Webhamster Henry: @ Skyzyx that was Lorenzo Milam's book. He was the pied piper of non commercial radio.
	9:23am sphere: hullo chat people. :)
	9:23am ChukAmok: Good morning Mods!
	9:24am ChukAmok: @Skyzyx There's a documentary on WFMU that takes its title from the very same book.
	9:26am Skyzyx: @Webhamsterr I’ve bought that book twice. I don’t currently have a copy. I think I’ll buy it again. I saw the documentary by the same name. That’s how I learned about WFMU.
	9:26am Joe McG: Great documentary about Lorenzo M. and KRAB circa 1964: www.youtube.com... Hi, Trouble!
	9:26am melinda: Morning everyone!
	9:26am sphere: @ ChukAmok - Actually, I am a mocker. :)
	9:31am Skyzyx: @Threemoons I just read the article. That is, indeed good news. I can’t believe how fast that issue was turned around.
	9:33am Skyzyx: @Joe Thanks for the link. I’m going to watch it now.
	9:34am redbee: Very much enjoyed the le makeups
	9:35am Threemoons: Hey Joe McG, great to see you hanging on the boards! :)
	9:35am Robm: @Joe Mcg thanks for that link, will give it a watch later
	9:35am Irene: I really needed this Melanie Dalibert piece to de-stress from an Alternate Side Parking fight this morning. Whew, and thanks Trouble!
	9:37am Glistener MW: morning, Trouble! morning, birds!
	9:37am oshiwoshi: Is that the same Hubley family that did Everyone Rides The Carousel?
	9:37am steveo: yikes just reading about transmitter battle stuff from before my time www.nytimes.com... spurred by varied reports today of interference from WSHU this morning. yikes.
	9:38am Glistener MW: !!! sorry to hear, Irene! Those sorts of things can affect me all day / week / seven years from now when I remember the incident when trying to get to sleep.
	9:38am Handy Haversack: Ha, Irene, I'm going to go sit in the car from 11:30 to 1. No one on our block even moves anymore. We all just hang out in our cars.
	9:39am Avrilinmay: all of this (sounds) is sounding amazing. Those birds chirping. I love it , always ! (had some luck this month to have some of them filling my mornings where I live now.Would love to record them someday for any interested ornithologists )
	9:41am Avrilinmay: @Irene sorry you had to go through that ! as Glistener MW said ...
	9:41am alanr: wow....one of my fav albums (Roberta & Donny)....I feel better already! --except for my allergies to pollen)
	9:42am Handy Haversack: I put out nine pounds of birdseed yesterday. Almost all gone. The sparrows and starlings already have at least a first clutch of fledglings.
	9:42am Irene: Handy, that’s usually the case on my block. This morning there were a number of ticketed cars that created problems, and some really stupid drivers who blocked everything up, forcing some of us to move to another block. Very tense for a bit but sorted with apologies all around.
	9:44am Glistener MW: @Avrilinmay -- I highly recommend the "Songbirding" podcast I discovered recently! The host goes for trail walks in different kinds of bird-heavy areas at different times of day and year with a good quality field-mic and records the ambience, and offers minimal discussion of what the birds on that walk are. It hits the perfect balance for me of 90% ambience, 10% educational. ( songbirding.com )
	9:44am Irene: At least I have Trouble’s show and our commenters community to ease me through it!
	9:44am Handy Haversack: Feeling you, Irene!
	9:45am Officer Pupp: Roberta Flack is criminally underrated.
	9:46am Avrilinmay: @ Glistener MW this sounds great! and interesting! I am now recalling those days empty of all sounds, except for the birds, during the very first lockdown the most amazing thing, so weird, in the middle of such a tragedy
	9:47am Robm: @Stevo lost all respect for WFUV because of rhat
	9:50am steveo: same, robm, but it took me 30 years
	9:54am oshiwoshi: thank you @ Glistener MW will definitely check it out
	9:55am Jesse Dorris: Beautiful show this morning!
	9:56am Trouble: gracias@jesse!
	9:56am Irene: Ronnie and steveo, I don’t listen to WFUV because of that fight, with the exception of Paul Cavalconte’s and Delphine Blue’s shows on occasion (they’re friends). It’s frustrating that so many larger organizations beat up on little ones like WFMU on the chance that they’ll crumble under the pressure.
	9:59am Hughie Considine: "Amsterdam" is a word that sings really well...
	10:00am steveo: yeah really a drag Irene -- sorry to bring it up when you're already having a tricky day
	10:04am redbee: @Glistener MW thanks for sharing that podcast! I'm working on learning birdcalls and I've struggled to find good bird-related (or even nature-related) podcasts
	10:05am steveo: the good news is that WFMU has gone STEREO! www.nytimes.com...
	10:05am redbee: For anyone mycologically inclined, I've been enjoying "The Mushroom Hour Podcast". Definitely 100% educational, not quite meditative, but so wonderfully informative
	10:06am Roberto: YAS 'FMU!!
	10:06am dougseidel: YAY!
	10:06am Hughie Considine: Woo!
	10:06am Avrilinmay: ouf! great news!
	10:07am Glistener MW: happy to share! Birding's something I've been trying to get into this past pandemic year. The Audubon Society's birdwatching app is surprisingly well-designed too, in the way it narrows-down birds that should be in your area (with location-data turned on) to show which ones you're likely looking-at right now
	10:07am Hubig Pie: Peoples have the power
	10:08am Irene: Not a problem, steveo! At least we seem to have defeated the latest challenge to WFMU, thanks to you wonderful listeners and my WNYC pals who put a few well-placed reports on air about it.
	10:08am Glistener MW: @redbee -- thank you, I just added the Mushroom Hour now! I've gotten very into mycology/forging over the past few summers ever since seeing Ron Mann's wonderful documentary "Know Your Mushrooms"
	10:09am oscarfate: if you're ever in Detroit please pay a visit to King Solomon Baptist Church, where Malcolm X delivered that speech
	10:11am Cheers!: There was an interesting pair of obituaries on the same day in the NY times many many years ago, it was the woman who founded Clairol on one side of the page, and the woman who created the macrobiotic diet on the other. I've been meaning to go back and look at that page again for a long time
	10:12am steveo: Amen to that, Irene! Now I'm down a NY Times rabbit hole, reading about how Laura Cantrell revived the Tennessee Border show on WKCR in the 80s -- wow!
	10:13am Creston: This is an absolutely beautiful rendition of miles Davis!!
	10:13am Irene: Ahhh, “In a Silent Way,” adding to the beauty of this show.
	10:14am Listener Gregory: @Creston, Miles recorded the tune, but it was written by Joe Zawinul. This IS a fantastic version!
	10:14am Officer Pupp: That was gorgeous!
	10:16am ChukAmok: Used to love the Tennessee Border Show. It's been awhile since I last tuned in though.
	10:17am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	10:20am Rich in Bristol: This Nina cover is majestic.
	10:20am Officer Pupp: Nina sure did excel with her George Harrison covers.
	10:20am ryansterlingvirtue: Great song. Never heard this version. Might be better than Galaxie 500!
	10:20am headcleaner: sigh. I can understand how some can appreciate the sentiment of what Malcolm was saying, there. but when you break it down, you know, logically... it's pretty naive
	10:21am alan the painter: hear hear 4 Trouble in Mine, Trouble for you! Thank you! Happy Springs!
	10:22am headcleaner: and then let's not get into the history of what happened in places like Cuba and Algeria after these "revolutions". because we all know that history.
	10:22am Rich in Bristol: The innovation mid-song I absolutely love. "Maybe that's why we cry."
	10:22am H Given: Glorifying a Marxist?
	10:23am alan the painter: head cleaner check yo' naive
	10:24am Handy Haversack: Just perfect.
	10:24am WM: The statement of Malcom X needs to be updated and corrected. Solidarity in Poland did, in fact, bring about a non-violent revolution against a government and political system that was very much willing to use violence. The Tunisia Revolution during the Arab Spring was also non-violent.
	10:25am redbee: @Glistener MW: haven't seen that documentary, thanks for the recc! I started learning mushroom identification last year, but I'm afraid I might've forgotten everything over the winter, hah
	10:26am H Given: Socialism has never worked anywhere it has been implemented. A complete failure.
	10:26am Yes: good morning everyone
	10:28am steveo: stunning, nina simone
	10:28am Handy Haversack: Can we hear it again, Trouble?
	10:28am Jason from Houston: ^ ^ ^
	10:28am oshiwoshi: TUUUUNE!!!
	10:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble & Troubleducants!
	10:29am Jason from Houston: OH ACTUALLY...
	10:29am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	10:30am oshiwoshi: a Donny Hathaway connection, no?
	10:31am Handy Haversack: Yes, this will do nicely, Jason!
	10:32am steveo: ''Every time we do a mailing we are inundated with hate mail, which to me means we are doing a good job.'' -Ken, in 1997
	10:33am headcleaner: @Given - "socialism" as in joining together to fight Hitler, put a human being on the moon, run the post office, hire teachers, etc? that's all "socialism", baby
	10:34am H Given: @headcleaner......and Venezuela
	10:34am oshiwoshi: even the roads are a product of socialism
	10:35am Jason from Houston: Listened to a short piece about refinancing a home while black this morning. No surprises there.
	10:35am TDK60: Malcolm's views were evolving (and violently halted). But his critique is still informative, in a nation that still has Confederate statues in public!
	10:35am karlward: Don't forget the Internet
	10:35am headcleaner: what was sad about that particular speech was that it idolizes "Revolution" for its own sake - and "revolution at any cost", at that. That's a generic failure of radical movements of -any- kind, and has nothing to do with socialism, capitalism as such
	10:36am sweir: this is so good! thank you Trouble!
	10:36am sphere: Venezuela is not a good example, given that Maduro wasn't really pro-democracy.
	10:36am headcleaner: and btw Malcolm has said lots of other stuff I've liked, and I've explained / defended him to many people, etc.
	10:37am H Given: Yeah let's just erase history like Lenin did
	10:38am ?: These conservative retorts...I have never heard these before. Are they new ideas? /s
	10:38am JT: how is that erasing history?
	10:39am Trouble: don't test me
	10:40am Matt Fiveash: H Given- your incredibly nuanced arguments might be more at home on some other forum, like a youtube comments section
	10:41am Glistener MW: WHOA, ha, look what happens when I step away / stop talking about birds.
	10:42am H Given: First time ever commenting on this forum. Is it reserved for a certain ideology?
	10:42am mariano: H Given: Any news on that Kraken, while we have you here? 'Morning, all.
	10:42am Matt Fiveash: No but it's reserved for something other than the usual internet bozo talking points
	10:43am headcleaner: @Given - absolutely not reserved for any particular ideology - all that matters here is civility, and positive vibes (and basic logic)
	10:44am Handy Haversack: I have to run -- learning the tricks for Citizens (ugh) Water Quality Testing. Will catch the last half hour from the car, as Irene will understand. Fantastic stuff, Trouble! Thanks so much. Yo, Mariano, Matt Fiveash! Matt, I thought I saw you ride by on a bike on McGuinness Blvd. yesterday. Possible?
	10:44am steveo: warm leatherette hairs on end
	10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: You're testing from inside the boat or out, Handy?
	10:44am Matt Fiveash: HH- wasn't me. McGuinness is a death trap!
	10:45am SSS: I have often wondered, just how did that leatherette become warm in the first place.
	10:45am mariano: See ya, Handy!
	10:46am SSS: Just tuning in, perhaps that is covered in the lyrics.
	10:46am Andres: Good morning! Please check out DJ GeorgyGirl’s show from yesterday marking Malcolm X’s birthday.
	10:46am H Given: I guess civility has a different meaning here
	10:46am Rich in Bristol: How is it these opinions always come from first-time posters? And then those same posters disappear? As if there was some other motive than joining in the discussion and community.
	10:46am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy birthday yesterday, Grace Jones!
	10:46am JT: no you can certainly argue your point, H Given. how has anyone been anything but civil?
	10:47am Handy Haversack: Out, Ken! From a dock. Later, pals!
	10:47am Exoskeletal: I prefer the Birds discussion.
	10:47am steveo: sheesh i should eat some breakfast later Handy
	10:47am mariano: H Given: Yes, free speech means that nobody can argue with you or give you any sort of pushback. We all have to be united in celebration of how adeptly you parrot talk-radio and Facebook bullet points. Have a cookie.
	10:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Hi! Water is not wet. What's you disagree with my well-thought out position?!
	10:48am mariano: "Socialism doesn't work." "Look at the Scandinavian countries." "That's not socialism, that's capitalism with high social spending." "Let's do that here then." "No, that would be socialism!"
	10:48am H Given: God damn you're ugly
	10:49am headcleaner: @rich - what's sublime and beautiful about that the comments board is that while "talking point" discussions do inevitably bubble up - they tend not to find much echo, and so fade out pretty quickly.
	10:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): His mother dresses him funny too.
	10:49am zopa: I was wondering how you were going to get from Malcolm X to Grace Jones, Trouble. Nice Job!
	10:50am Hubig Pie: If we have learned anything in this life it's that the leatherette is indeed, warm
	10:50am Andres: Recent bird study puts global population at 50 billion. I would have guessed/hoped higher.
	10:50am SSS: But HOW, Hugbi, how?
	10:50am YETI BOB: I was about to reply to H Given but honestly I think it's pointless. So let's talk about leatherette, mycology and ornithology.
	10:51am YETI BOB: SSS: Isn't it just the car seats, that are warm from people sitting on them?
	10:51am Stevel: Birds rule!
	10:51am karlward: Warm leatherette mycology has never worked anywhere
	10:51am H Given: I am a long time listener of WFMU. Great show Trouble!
	10:51am Andres: Feed the birds not the trolls.
	10:52am steveo: the leatherette, alas, must be cold by now
	10:52am karlward: I am never sitting on a couch again
	10:52am Exoskeletal: Anybody else here think the state birds are crap?
	10:53am headcleaner: @andrea - exactly. and keep your mushroom garden fed, too
	10:53am SSS: The meanings of descriptive terms, like socialism, should be loose definitions, not turned into highly precise definitions.
	10:53am Avrilinmay: cannot wait for the days where trolls' keyboards won't work anywhere <sigh>
	10:53am JT: the largest living organism on earth is a fungus
	10:54am H Given: troll: someone who posts something that someone disagrees with
	10:55am zopa: tougher than tough. dreader than dread. thanks trouble. excellent show, as usual.
	10:55am redbee: JT: is that the one in Oregon that I've read about? A few miles long, or something?
	10:55am Mark Williams: speaking of fungi, anyone else read that book by Merlin Sheldrake?
	10:55am DJ Guin: @YeTi bOB -- www.youtube.com...
	10:56am Tank Top: Grace Jones' memoir is pretty fun
	10:56am Exoskeletal: Merlin Sheldrake...fun guy I hear.
	10:56am YETI BOB: SSS: I tried to read "Crash" by JG Ballard once, I found it too disturbing to finish it. But maybe he explains why the leatherette was warm.
	10:57am JT: @redbee, yes i believe that's the one ... there are others in other parts of the world that are quite large, too
	10:57am Matt Fiveash: H Given- that's more like it! "god damn you're ugly" is a little closer to the kind of high minded dialogue we try to foster around here. In that spirit, you look like you been whooped with a ugly stick
	10:57am Kpx: Just learned of the land tax exemption issue being resolved. Good to know that potential financial threat is no longer a headache for FMU. I know everytime I jump in as a lesser educated small fry to go swimming with the more educated big fish on the FMU comments, I can always be sure to see a new word or phrase.
	10:57am oshiwoshi: @Mark Williams: Didn't read, but heard the abridged audiobook on BBC sounds
	10:57am Stevel: YETI BOB: The movie is way f-ed up. Pretty challenging.
	10:58am Peter Kaprelian: This was sampled. Grace Jones.
	10:58am Andres: The only baseball hats worth having are the ones whose teams have bird names. Exceptions Expos and Brewers.
	10:58am YETI BOB: Book recommendation: Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World by Paul Stamets.
	10:58am H Given: Thank you Trouble for the great show.....peace everyone!
	10:59am YETI BOB: Stevel: I survived a fairly traumatic car crash (decades ago) - and there's NO WAY I'm going to see that movie!
	11:00am ChukAmok: Thanks for the recommendation Yeti Bob! Looking for something to forage until the chanterelles start popping up.
	11:00am Peter Kaprelian: DAMN! I want me some Grace Jones cds!
	11:00am YETI BOB: Stamets has written a bunch of good books on fungi
	11:00am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: I'm right there with ya. We hit a moose at 50 mph in a Mini Cooper. Crashes are no longer entertaining in any way.
	11:02am YETI BOB: I'm OK with the song though.... it's pretty minimalistic and detached and doesn't get to me the way the book did
	11:02am ChukAmok: @Stevel was that adaption of the novel directed by Cronenberg? I could look it up, sure, but there are some disingenuous comments that need pushing further into history...
	11:02am karlward: My friend Christie Leece did her master's thesis at my grad school on making art from mushrooms--mushrooms that were grown in toxic soil to capture the toxins. itp.nyu.edu...
	11:03am DJ Guin: I half-expected @HyperDose to magically appear when the word MUSHROOM is mentioned.
	11:04am YETI BOB: karlward: i know an artist here in Chicago who also uses mycelium as a material ... it's pretty interesting
	11:04am joe mulligan: the song was def inspired by the book, but I didn't know it until Tuesday I think Creamo played another cover. saw Crash around when it was released but I'd never read the book. back then I had a big crush on rosanna arquette
	11:04am Stevel: YETI BOB: Wise choice. It is highly erotic, thus, more disturbing overall. ChukAMok: I believe that's it.
	11:04am Glistener MW: @YETIBOB -- Paul Stamets is great! And has the greatest author-bio-photo that has ever or will ever exist: images.squarespace-cdn.com...
	11:05am YETI BOB: Glistener MW: That' FANTASTIC.
	11:06am YETI BOB: Stamets has written about putting mushroom caps in the brim of his hat, so that when he walks around the woods he's constantly spreading spores. That detail is not visible in that photo, but it might be because of all the bees ....
	11:06am Exoskeletal: Take the next day off the 2nd day of Moderna due to EXCITEMENT FROM THE SAFETY OF DEATH
	11:07am JT: @exoskeletal, HA! good for you.
	11:07am headcleaner: have had my share of run-ins with large objects at high velocities. It's truly a miracle I'm still here, and not strapped into a chair in a long-term care facility somewhere. It's not an experience I'd particularly recommend. But I think it has helped me to appreciate the time we have alloted to us, that much more (trite as that may sound)
	11:07am redbee: I'm a Stamets fan but would not recommend his actual supplement/products! In spite of all of his good talk, he fills his pills with myceliated grain (the substrate... or "roots" to be totally inaccurate) as filler, as opposed to the fruiting bodies (where all the good stuff is). Donno what the ratio is, but any amount of grain is a rip-off
	11:08am TDK60: Getting vaccinated is controversial? Huh, must've missed the article in the paper.
	11:08am ChukAmok: I've been researching replacing our styrofoam shipping coolers with the biodegradable mushroom coolers for years, but still have not found a cost-effective solution, unfortunately.
	11:08am DJ Guin: Anyone near MetLife Stadium can receive the Pfizer Vaxx without an appointment! Administered at the Old Racetrack near LOT H.
	11:10am Kpx: Which pharmaceutical brand vaccine is touted to be the best. I want to avoid the one that's giving people blood clots, unless that one has already been stopped.
	11:10am ChukAmok: @Yeti Bob it's best to use a straw basket or similar when foraging as it allows the spores to fall to the ground and spread the mushrooms. Another reason to ditch plastic bags.
	11:10am YETI BOB: karlward: Here's my friend Erin LaRocque. sites.saic.edu... She also makes some really nice jewelry incorporating fungi and plant materials www.etsy.com...
	11:10am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have to day, I have been very much enjoying the EXCITEMENT FROM THE SAFETY OF DEATH. Also, the oysters I had on Saturday.
	11:11am YETI BOB: Kpx: Everyone I know seems to think Pfizer is the best but nobody can tell me exactly why. Maybe because it's German?
	11:11am sugarwolf: I’m disappointed by my county’s health commissioner who keeps saying that the lower vaccine rates are only about hesitancy and not access in an article that breaks down percentages by town and the affluent places have much much higher rates.
	11:12am DJ Guin: @KPX -- TBH, the J&J blood clot blow-up is kinda misleading. Underlying conditions led to a few, but a significantly small number of those with that side effect.
	11:12am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): lovedb that segue!
	11:12am Carmichael: The best vaccine is the one you get.
	11:12am steveo: MBB: YES
	11:12am YETI BOB: Ok, I had to look it up: "Dʿmt was a kingdom located in Eritrea and northern Ethiopia that existed during the 10th to 5th centuries BC.". This song is not about the Kingdom of D.M.T.
	11:12am Glistener MW: @redbee -- ah, interesting, I didn't know that - that's a shame! I've only read pieces by him but didn't know anything about his pill business
	11:12am Undead83: What a great last song, not sure if it's my mood or the usual WFMU magic ^^
	11:13am karlward: I think it's less confusing if you say "EXCITEMENT OF THE SAFETY FROM DEATH." The other way ("EXCITEMENT FROM THE SAFETY OF DEATH") would mean that death is safety and you are therefore excited about the safety you will get from death, which is probably the opposite of what you mean. Probably. I hope.
	11:13am YETI BOB: redbee - thanks for the tip. i have never bought any Stamets product but I like his books.
	11:14am ChukAmok: @kpx there is no "best" vaccine. Vaccine supremacy really needs to stop.
	11:14am Listener Gregory: "excitement of the safety from prepositions!"
	11:14am karlward: Excitement of the Safety from Death is an excellent band name. ChukAmok are you busy? Want to write and record some songs as "Excitement of the Safety from Death"? I'm game.
	11:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @karward: True! I was just lazy and did a copy/past.
	11:14am JT: prepositions will cut you
	11:14am Jeff in Brooklyn: Listener Gregory -- Perfect!
	11:15am ChukAmok: @karlward YES.
	11:15am Listener Gregory: No one expects prepositions.
	11:15am Exoskeletal: @Karlward I will work on my grammar as I'm casually not dying of a now manageable respiratory virus.
	11:16am Carmichael: Noooo body expects the Spanish prepositions.
	11:16am redbee: @MW & Yeti: Yeah, it doesn't impinge on my fondness of him and his work, but... if you're inclined to supplement, look for brands that don't use mycelium. I've been using the tinctures from a co. called Mushroom Revival. I was skeptical, but the reishi legitimately helps my sleep quality. (And I'll stop before I start to sound like a commercial...)
	11:16am Jeff in Brooklyn: and the Mel Brooks follow up! Listener Gregory you are sharp this morning!
	11:16am headcleaner: @Kpx - I don't want to discount your concerns about blod clotting; but the incidence is quite low. As to which vaccine is "best", everything I'm hearing points to Pfizier (aka BioNTech) first, followed by Moderna. It may not be the first one you're offered (whereever you are), but with a bit of research, you should be able to score an appointment
	11:17am steveo: fantastic set; all my molecules are vibrating
	11:17am karlward: Exoskeletal: I hope you don't spend your safety-from-death years on grammar!
	11:17am sphere: I had two shots of Pfizer and am fully vaccinated. Thank you! <bow>
	11:17am bigkafka: this billy gault track is tops
	11:17am ChukAmok: No one expects the Spanish pretensions.
	11:17am YETI BOB: Vaccine comparison: www.statnews.com... Pfizer got approved first, has the highest reputation, and is 95% effective. Moderna is 94.1% effective. And J&J got some bad PR for several reasons.
	11:17am DJ Guin: Tonight on FOX News: Illegal Immigrants Want to Steal YOUR Vaccine!
	11:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Completely unrelated to any of this fine talk: everybody is doing the summer hiring thing around here. There's a seafood place not far from here and their sign says... "Long-haired freaky people, please apply within."
	11:18am sugarwolf: Among friends and others I know, Pfizer seems to have the least side effects? But everyone’s different.
	11:18am YETI BOB: Very cool redbee, I found a reishi once but didn't quite know what to do with it - I made a very bitter tea but it was hard to drink enough of it to know if it had any effect.
	11:18am sphere: Tonight on Fox News: Tucker Carlson Is Fully Immunized And Won't Admit It!
	11:18am headcleaner: Pfizer, not "Pfizier". Echoing what YB said.
	11:19am TDK60: Richest nation in the world: 38% vaccination rate.
	11:20am Kpx: Thanks everyone for your input. But you know how it is when you hear all kinds of contradictory advice and statements. Just want to get some kind of idea of what to choose before I get jabbed.
	11:20am JT: pfizer gave me chills and soreness 24-36 hours after the second shot but i ain't complaining
	11:20am YETI BOB: TDK60: That's where decades of anti-science, anti-intellectual, anti-vax ideology gets you
	11:20am DJ Guin: Tonight on Fox News: You cannot spell M%THERF*CKER without T-U-C-K-E-R.
	11:20am redbee: @Yeti: Yeah, I looked into DIY, and... sounds like the extraction process is pretty labor-intensive to get something concentrated. I add this stuff into my cereal/yogurt/oatmeal and that masks the taste pretty well
	11:21am sphere: Kpx, none of that has happened here. I think we are all all pro-vax. There is no reason to not get the vaccine.
	11:21am ChukAmok: @headcleaner is "Pfizier" the carbonated vaccine option?
	11:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Carlson 'reporting' that people were dying from taking the vaccine was a low point for him, among all his other low pints.
	11:21am Rich in Washington: This is lovely.
	11:22am VincentNifigance: No reason not to get the vaccine. No reasoning with those that won’t get it.
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: LOVE that Billy Gault.
	11:22am headcleaner: my data point w/ Pfizer: no effects after 1st shot; very mild chills (less than from a typical flu shot) after the 2nd. But that's just my data point. Better to look at comprehensive studies, of the kind YB posted above
	11:22am Listener Gregory: That Billy Gault piece was great. Sounded like Sun Ra doing soul music.
	11:22am sphere: And you bet your damn bippy that Carlson got vaccinated as soon as he could, the rat.
	11:22am JT: get the vaccine!
	11:22am Hughie Considine: @Chuck, Pfi-Zima ?
	11:22am Mike W: i got Pfizer x 2 and had one day of bad side effects, then a following day of mild symptoms, then fine and the antlers that grew in just popped off all by themselves eventually!
	11:22am zopa: booniay!!!!!
	11:23am TDK60: Yeti, you have a point.
	11:23am Rich in Washington: I didn't feel anything from my two Pfizer shots. If I was sore, both shots coincided with me doing a lot of yardwork lately, so I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference in my half-century+ old body.
	11:23am headcleaner: @ChukAmok: I wouldn't be surprised if they started offering "carbonated" vaccine versions. Along with cherry flavored, CBD enhanced, etc. What with all the free beer, free baseball ticket etc promotions they've been doing
	11:24am Ike: With J&J, the blood clotting issues occurred rarely, and with more women than men. 28 cases out of 8.7 million, so you probably have a better chance of being hit by lightning than getting a blood clot. This has some but not all of the details: www.msn.com...
	11:25am DJ Guin: Wait until the Karens come out against vaccinating their ankle-biting whelps.
	11:25am ChukAmok: @Hughie definitely for the spring break crowd! @headcleaner "here's a bag of Lay's to go with the chip we will be putting in your arm today"
	11:26am YETI BOB: Re: flavored vaxx: I looked at the ingredients for the Pfizer vaccine and it contains sugar!!
	11:27am ChukAmok: "Why isn't this vax certified organic/kosher/GF..?"
	11:27am YETI BOB: "Basic table sugar, also known as sucrose, can also be found in the new COVID vaccine. This ingredient helps the molecules maintain their shape during freezing."
	11:28am JT: parve moderna. now there's a band name.
	11:28am Carmichael: Donna, Gateway to Joy.
	11:28am listener james from westwood: Donna's in for Fab!
	11:28am Joe McG: Hey Trouble - Donna is in for Fabs today.
	11:29am TDK60: I had fun getting my first shot. The nurse and I laughed about our slightly muffled talk through our mathks.
	11:29am YETI BOB: but Pseu should be there at noon, right?
	11:29am DJ Guin: "Is the vaccine GLUTEN FREE?!?!?"
	11:30am YETI BOB: Guin: Yes, actually ...
	11:30am Trouble: ooooooo yes yeti, i am soooooo out of it this morning! merci! i have had one crazeeeeeee week. teaching burn out is setting in
	11:30am TDK60: Gotta run, Trouble. Thanks!
	11:30am Kpx: Were those puffins I heard before?
	11:32am DJ Guin: @YETI -- "Is there a chance the track could bend?"
	11:32am ChukAmok: I was volunteering at a vax site in NC February through March and had a great time labeling syringes with the nurses and other volunteers. The extra dose(s) at the end of the day were just a bonus.
	11:34am Mark Williams: old fave here, this Soft Verdict. That compilation too.
	11:35am Kpx: I'm 95% sure that I'm going to go with Pfizer, it seems to be the more certain and popular choice.
	11:38am Glistener MW: @Guin: Not on your life, my DJ friend!
	11:38am waters7: Love this "soft verdict". They are drilling in front of my house and sawing in the back. This is more of a soothing kind of mechanical sound.
	11:39am waters7: "burn out" is the topic of a Jill Lepore article in this week's New Yorker.
	11:40am DJ Guin: "What's it called?" "Monorail!"
	11:41am Hubig Pie: The ring came off my pudding can!
	11:42am People Like Us: sounds about right
	11:43am BigP0ppa: Not many shops left like that nowadays Sylvia. Although you can still buy a pigs head in Leeds market
	11:44am davefromtoronto: i tried reading that article last night but i felt too burned out to finish it...
	11:44am JT: I am always amused by how "New England dowager" Sylvia Plath sounded
	11:44am People Like Us: perhaps she might have thought about being a vegetarian
	11:45am mariano: Always choose the cat.
	11:45am Mungerphut: I'll take a cat, please
	11:45am Hubig Pie: She definitely has a vintage Julia Child brogue
	11:46am Hughie Considine: You can tell from her brief remarks about children that parenting was a real challenge to her. Seems like she almost resented having to build your world around children, which at the early stages anyway, you have to do.
	11:46am Justin: Lovely and creepy song. One of the greatest.
	11:46am Mungerphut: Honestly, that SP in the midst of the music is what I come to WFMU for.
	11:46am melinda: @JT yeah. I like hearing the older accents.
	11:48am JT: nothing like how i imagined when reading her poems long ago
	11:48am eva: good almost afternoon. i can envision her singing this with a butcher knife in hand.
	11:48am steveo: salad
	11:48am eva: must have been all that talk about meat.
	11:49am Kpx: I didn't know trouble was a teacher, mind if I ask what grade you teach. And are you teaching via computer?. That's probably an old question and subject for you, so if you don't want to say no problem.
	11:50am Modera World: Pfizer is a US company founded in 1849 by two German brothers in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY, USA.
	11:51am Moderna World: MODERNA
	11:51am Trouble: i teach high school art @kpx. i have taught pre k to college. yes i am virtual, since last march. i am losing it. never have i been sooooo looking forward to end of school
	11:52am headcleaner: just recalibrated my mid-day shopping plans to bring me back home as close as possible to the start of Donna's fill-in
	11:53am oshiwoshi: @Trouble merci buckets for the post humpday musical massage. I come in wanting to drop-kick the world into Hell's handbasket and leave with that lovin' feeling.
	11:53am steveo: my dear spouse is a preschool teacher; last year was pretty absurd doing zooms with 3- and 4-year-olds. Thank goodness she is in person (and now vaccinated). I hope your school will go back in person next year Trouble
	11:54am 12539: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:55am Ike: @KPX I ended up w/Pfizer because that’s what they had but I don’t think there is any true scientifically observable or statistically significant difference between Pfizer and Moderna. Differences noted by commenters are anecdotal. They have the same basis (the tech for a general overall coronavirus vaccine was already being worked on before the pandemic) and are quite similar as I understand it.
	11:56am steveo: oh yes, thanks for a marvelous show; where does the time go?
	11:56am redbee: Thanks Trouble! Till next week, comrades! ... err, "listeners" ;)
	11:56am Hughie Considine: Wow, I spent four years teaching preschool in NYC and can only imagine how difficult that would have been from a remote setting. Hang in there, Trouble.
	11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. A lovely show today. ♥️
	11:56am Andres: Terrific tunes, Trouble! Thanks!
	11:57am radioronan: Thanks Trouble!
	11:57am steveo: trouble is high school, Hughie
	11:57am steveo: YAY -- THE STUDIO
	11:58am Kpx: @Trouble: hang tough, relief is just around the corner. Thanks for today's show enjoy your day. And thanks to everyone else for their vaccine advice. Take care everyone
	11:58am Ryansterlingvirtue: Great show today, Thanks!
	11:59am Hughie Considine: I realize that, Steveo - my point was that teaching remotely must be hard.
	11:59am Rich in Bristol: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:59am Listener Gregory: Thanks for an excellent show, Trouble.
	11:59am steveo: yeah, i thought so, but just making sure i didn't mislead you :)
	11:59am DJ Guin: thanks trouble!
	12:00pm Hughie Considine: nope - :)
	12:00pm YETI BOB: thanks for another great show!

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Listener comments!
	9:00am DJ Guin: Come quietly or there will be... trouble.
	9:01am Mike W: was about to walk out door with Dog and then heard...this
	9:01am Robm: Hello trouble and fellow trouble makers
	9:02am shobhi: Morning, morning, morning.
	9:02am TDK60: Bon mati!
	9:03am Mike W: a massive raagaa
	9:03am Trouble: bonjour mes amis! happy thursday morning in radio land!
	9:04am Robm: @Mike W you never want to turn this station off
	9:04am Strandlund: Nothing but Trouble!!
	9:04am TDK60: (Doing the Catalan "good morning" instead of French today.)
	9:05am Mike W: @Robm I was walking out the door with the radio still on; i do never turn it off
	9:05am Strandlund: @Robm...Totally Agree!!
	9:06am Mike W: if the guidance is “never turn it off and never leave your home,” well, we’ve done that too
	9:08am JT: very nice tdk60. i binged merce rodoreda's oeuvre recently.
	9:09am steveo: good morning!
	9:10am ?: @TDK60: i un bon matí és, de fet!
	9:10am TDK60: Hi JT. Never heard of Rodoreda. More homework, because of WFMU, darnit! Hee. \| I admire the drawing or painting. Pencil? Pen? Surrealistic in a way.
	9:10am YETI BOB: Big Ups to the Brooklyn Raga Massive
	9:10am Robm: @Mike W this station has kept me sane with COVID-19 and the election, the DJs like trouble always bring their a game
	9:11am Handy Haversack: Shining Thursday greetings, Trouble and all the Troubled! Excellent art, excellent Malcolm X title, excellent Brooklyn Raga Massive. All-around excellence!
	9:13am headcleaner: nice hearing this piece again... too bad the Massive got rained out of LIC, the other week
	9:13am Mike W: @Robm yeah, to a pretty maximal degree in this household too. i made my first swag-fer-life pledge last year about 20 minutes before the lockdown, immediately and briefly regretted it due to my plummeting fortunes, then proceeded to extract the equivalent of $11 billion in psychic relief via months of listening
	9:14am JT: @TDK Rodoreda was a Catalan writer who spent the Spanish Civil War in exile. highly recommended, underappreciated.
	9:14am Mike W: ...and upped my pledging this year by slashing my dog’s treat budget! [dog’s ears flick angrily]
	9:15am Handy Haversack: Dusty! Bagpipe will (grudgingly) share Sweet Potato Steak Frites with you!
	9:15am Robm: @Mike W guess you did not have a very happy dog
	9:16am TDK60: Morning Handy; give Bagpipe a pat from me. \| Thanks, JT for the info.
	9:17am Mike W: my dog is stupefyingly happy actually: drive.google.com...
	9:17am Robm: @Mike W and there were days I did not listen or watch the news
	9:18am Mike W: despite my funneling tens of dollars away from useless “chicken” and “salmon” and “dog food” and toward freeform radio
	9:19am Mike W: Brooklyn Bagpipe Massive!
	9:19am Handy Haversack: Will do, TDK60. He's lying in a sunbeam with the White Wind blowing all around him (cottonwood down the block).
	9:20am Skyzyx: Hi Trouble and troublers. I read a book called “Sex and Broadcasting” 50 years ago. The author espoused the value of non-commercial, free form radio with eclectic playlists covering all genres of music from around the world. WFMU embodies that principle, especially with shows like this one. I thank the DJs, the staff, Ken Friedman, the chatters, and the listeners that make this station possible.
	9:20am Threemoons: Morning Trouble, fellow Troublemakers, on a Triumphant Thursday. So glad to hear the news last night RE the Man in NJ laying off WFMU!
	9:21am steveo: sounding great; love, love liz durette
	9:21am Webhamster Henry: Hi modern world inhabitants!
	9:22am Webhamster Henry: @ Skyzyx that was Lorenzo Milam's book. He was the pied piper of non commercial radio.
	9:23am sphere: hullo chat people. :)
	9:23am ChukAmok: Good morning Mods!
	9:24am ChukAmok: @Skyzyx There's a documentary on WFMU that takes its title from the very same book.
	9:26am Skyzyx: @Webhamsterr I’ve bought that book twice. I don’t currently have a copy. I think I’ll buy it again. I saw the documentary by the same name. That’s how I learned about WFMU.
	9:26am Joe McG: Great documentary about Lorenzo M. and KRAB circa 1964: www.youtube.com... Hi, Trouble!
	9:26am melinda: Morning everyone!
	9:26am sphere: @ ChukAmok - Actually, I am a mocker. :)
	9:31am Skyzyx: @Threemoons I just read the article. That is, indeed good news. I can’t believe how fast that issue was turned around.
	9:33am Skyzyx: @Joe Thanks for the link. I’m going to watch it now.
	9:34am redbee: Very much enjoyed the le makeups
	9:35am Threemoons: Hey Joe McG, great to see you hanging on the boards! :)
	9:35am Robm: @Joe Mcg thanks for that link, will give it a watch later
	9:35am Irene: I really needed this Melanie Dalibert piece to de-stress from an Alternate Side Parking fight this morning. Whew, and thanks Trouble!
	9:37am Glistener MW: morning, Trouble! morning, birds!
	9:37am oshiwoshi: Is that the same Hubley family that did Everyone Rides The Carousel?
	9:37am steveo: yikes just reading about transmitter battle stuff from before my time www.nytimes.com... spurred by varied reports today of interference from WSHU this morning. yikes.
	9:38am Glistener MW: !!! sorry to hear, Irene! Those sorts of things can affect me all day / week / seven years from now when I remember the incident when trying to get to sleep.
	9:38am Handy Haversack: Ha, Irene, I'm going to go sit in the car from 11:30 to 1. No one on our block even moves anymore. We all just hang out in our cars.
	9:39am Avrilinmay: all of this (sounds) is sounding amazing. Those birds chirping. I love it , always ! (had some luck this month to have some of them filling my mornings where I live now.Would love to record them someday for any interested ornithologists )
	9:41am Avrilinmay: @Irene sorry you had to go through that ! as Glistener MW said ...
	9:41am alanr: wow....one of my fav albums (Roberta & Donny)....I feel better already! --except for my allergies to pollen)
	9:42am Handy Haversack: I put out nine pounds of birdseed yesterday. Almost all gone. The sparrows and starlings already have at least a first clutch of fledglings.
	9:42am Irene: Handy, that’s usually the case on my block. This morning there were a number of ticketed cars that created problems, and some really stupid drivers who blocked everything up, forcing some of us to move to another block. Very tense for a bit but sorted with apologies all around.
	9:44am Glistener MW: @Avrilinmay -- I highly recommend the "Songbirding" podcast I discovered recently! The host goes for trail walks in different kinds of bird-heavy areas at different times of day and year with a good quality field-mic and records the ambience, and offers minimal discussion of what the birds on that walk are. It hits the perfect balance for me of 90% ambience, 10% educational. ( songbirding.com )
	9:44am Irene: At least I have Trouble’s show and our commenters community to ease me through it!
	9:44am Handy Haversack: Feeling you, Irene!
	9:45am Officer Pupp: Roberta Flack is criminally underrated.
	9:46am Avrilinmay: @ Glistener MW this sounds great! and interesting! I am now recalling those days empty of all sounds, except for the birds, during the very first lockdown the most amazing thing, so weird, in the middle of such a tragedy
	9:47am Robm: @Stevo lost all respect for WFUV because of rhat
	9:50am steveo: same, robm, but it took me 30 years
	9:54am oshiwoshi: thank you @ Glistener MW will definitely check it out
	9:55am Jesse Dorris: Beautiful show this morning!
	9:56am Trouble: gracias@jesse!
	9:56am Irene: Ronnie and steveo, I don’t listen to WFUV because of that fight, with the exception of Paul Cavalconte’s and Delphine Blue’s shows on occasion (they’re friends). It’s frustrating that so many larger organizations beat up on little ones like WFMU on the chance that they’ll crumble under the pressure.
	9:59am Hughie Considine: "Amsterdam" is a word that sings really well...
	10:00am steveo: yeah really a drag Irene -- sorry to bring it up when you're already having a tricky day
	10:04am redbee: @Glistener MW thanks for sharing that podcast! I'm working on learning birdcalls and I've struggled to find good bird-related (or even nature-related) podcasts
	10:05am steveo: the good news is that WFMU has gone STEREO! www.nytimes.com...
	10:05am redbee: For anyone mycologically inclined, I've been enjoying "The Mushroom Hour Podcast". Definitely 100% educational, not quite meditative, but so wonderfully informative
	10:06am Roberto: YAS 'FMU!!
	10:06am dougseidel: YAY!
	10:06am Hughie Considine: Woo!
	10:06am Avrilinmay: ouf! great news!
	10:07am Glistener MW: happy to share! Birding's something I've been trying to get into this past pandemic year. The Audubon Society's birdwatching app is surprisingly well-designed too, in the way it narrows-down birds that should be in your area (with location-data turned on) to show which ones you're likely looking-at right now
	10:07am Hubig Pie: Peoples have the power
	10:08am Irene: Not a problem, steveo! At least we seem to have defeated the latest challenge to WFMU, thanks to you wonderful listeners and my WNYC pals who put a few well-placed reports on air about it.
	10:08am Glistener MW: @redbee -- thank you, I just added the Mushroom Hour now! I've gotten very into mycology/forging over the past few summers ever since seeing Ron Mann's wonderful documentary "Know Your Mushrooms"
	10:09am oscarfate: if you're ever in Detroit please pay a visit to King Solomon Baptist Church, where Malcolm X delivered that speech
	10:11am Cheers!: There was an interesting pair of obituaries on the same day in the NY times many many years ago, it was the woman who founded Clairol on one side of the page, and the woman who created the macrobiotic diet on the other. I've been meaning to go back and look at that page again for a long time
	10:12am steveo: Amen to that, Irene! Now I'm down a NY Times rabbit hole, reading about how Laura Cantrell revived the Tennessee Border show on WKCR in the 80s -- wow!
	10:13am Creston: This is an absolutely beautiful rendition of miles Davis!!
	10:13am Irene: Ahhh, “In a Silent Way,” adding to the beauty of this show.
	10:14am Listener Gregory: @Creston, Miles recorded the tune, but it was written by Joe Zawinul. This IS a fantastic version!
	10:14am Officer Pupp: That was gorgeous!
	10:16am ChukAmok: Used to love the Tennessee Border Show. It's been awhile since I last tuned in though.
	10:17am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	10:20am Rich in Bristol: This Nina cover is majestic.
	10:20am Officer Pupp: Nina sure did excel with her George Harrison covers.
	10:20am ryansterlingvirtue: Great song. Never heard this version. Might be better than Galaxie 500!
	10:20am headcleaner: sigh. I can understand how some can appreciate the sentiment of what Malcolm was saying, there. but when you break it down, you know, logically... it's pretty naive
	10:21am alan the painter: hear hear 4 Trouble in Mine, Trouble for you! Thank you! Happy Springs!
	10:22am headcleaner: and then let's not get into the history of what happened in places like Cuba and Algeria after these "revolutions". because we all know that history.
	10:22am Rich in Bristol: The innovation mid-song I absolutely love. "Maybe that's why we cry."
	10:22am H Given: Glorifying a Marxist?
	10:23am alan the painter: head cleaner check yo' naive
	10:24am Handy Haversack: Just perfect.
	10:24am WM: The statement of Malcom X needs to be updated and corrected. Solidarity in Poland did, in fact, bring about a non-violent revolution against a government and political system that was very much willing to use violence. The Tunisia Revolution during the Arab Spring was also non-violent.
	10:25am redbee: @Glistener MW: haven't seen that documentary, thanks for the recc! I started learning mushroom identification last year, but I'm afraid I might've forgotten everything over the winter, hah
	10:26am H Given: Socialism has never worked anywhere it has been implemented. A complete failure.
	10:26am Yes: good morning everyone
	10:28am steveo: stunning, nina simone
	10:28am Handy Haversack: Can we hear it again, Trouble?
	10:28am Jason from Houston: ^ ^ ^
	10:28am oshiwoshi: TUUUUNE!!!
	10:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Trouble & Troubleducants!
	10:29am Jason from Houston: OH ACTUALLY...
	10:29am Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	10:30am oshiwoshi: a Donny Hathaway connection, no?
	10:31am Handy Haversack: Yes, this will do nicely, Jason!
	10:32am steveo: ''Every time we do a mailing we are inundated with hate mail, which to me means we are doing a good job.'' -Ken, in 1997
	10:33am headcleaner: @Given - "socialism" as in joining together to fight Hitler, put a human being on the moon, run the post office, hire teachers, etc? that's all "socialism", baby
	10:34am H Given: @headcleaner......and Venezuela
	10:34am oshiwoshi: even the roads are a product of socialism
	10:35am Jason from Houston: Listened to a short piece about refinancing a home while black this morning. No surprises there.
	10:35am TDK60: Malcolm's views were evolving (and violently halted). But his critique is still informative, in a nation that still has Confederate statues in public!
	10:35am karlward: Don't forget the Internet
	10:35am headcleaner: what was sad about that particular speech was that it idolizes "Revolution" for its own sake - and "revolution at any cost", at that. That's a generic failure of radical movements of -any- kind, and has nothing to do with socialism, capitalism as such
	10:36am sweir: this is so good! thank you Trouble!
	10:36am sphere: Venezuela is not a good example, given that Maduro wasn't really pro-democracy.
	10:36am headcleaner: and btw Malcolm has said lots of other stuff I've liked, and I've explained / defended him to many people, etc.
	10:37am H Given: Yeah let's just erase history like Lenin did
	10:38am ?: These conservative retorts...I have never heard these before. Are they new ideas? /s
	10:38am JT: how is that erasing history?
	10:39am Trouble: don't test me
	10:40am Matt Fiveash: H Given- your incredibly nuanced arguments might be more at home on some other forum, like a youtube comments section
	10:41am Glistener MW: WHOA, ha, look what happens when I step away / stop talking about birds.
	10:42am H Given: First time ever commenting on this forum. Is it reserved for a certain ideology?
	10:42am mariano: H Given: Any news on that Kraken, while we have you here? 'Morning, all.
	10:42am Matt Fiveash: No but it's reserved for something other than the usual internet bozo talking points
	10:43am headcleaner: @Given - absolutely not reserved for any particular ideology - all that matters here is civility, and positive vibes (and basic logic)
	10:44am Handy Haversack: I have to run -- learning the tricks for Citizens (ugh) Water Quality Testing. Will catch the last half hour from the car, as Irene will understand. Fantastic stuff, Trouble! Thanks so much. Yo, Mariano, Matt Fiveash! Matt, I thought I saw you ride by on a bike on McGuinness Blvd. yesterday. Possible?
	10:44am steveo: warm leatherette hairs on end
	10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: You're testing from inside the boat or out, Handy?
	10:44am Matt Fiveash: HH- wasn't me. McGuinness is a death trap!
	10:45am SSS: I have often wondered, just how did that leatherette become warm in the first place.
	10:45am mariano: See ya, Handy!
	10:46am SSS: Just tuning in, perhaps that is covered in the lyrics.
	10:46am Andres: Good morning! Please check out DJ GeorgyGirl’s show from yesterday marking Malcolm X’s birthday.
	10:46am H Given: I guess civility has a different meaning here
	10:46am Rich in Bristol: How is it these opinions always come from first-time posters? And then those same posters disappear? As if there was some other motive than joining in the discussion and community.
	10:46am Ken From Hyde Park: Happy birthday yesterday, Grace Jones!
	10:46am JT: no you can certainly argue your point, H Given. how has anyone been anything but civil?
	10:47am Handy Haversack: Out, Ken! From a dock. Later, pals!
	10:47am Exoskeletal: I prefer the Birds discussion.
	10:47am steveo: sheesh i should eat some breakfast later Handy
	10:47am mariano: H Given: Yes, free speech means that nobody can argue with you or give you any sort of pushback. We all have to be united in celebration of how adeptly you parrot talk-radio and Facebook bullet points. Have a cookie.
	10:48am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Hi! Water is not wet. What's you disagree with my well-thought out position?!
	10:48am mariano: "Socialism doesn't work." "Look at the Scandinavian countries." "That's not socialism, that's capitalism with high social spending." "Let's do that here then." "No, that would be socialism!"
	10:48am H Given: God damn you're ugly
	10:49am headcleaner: @rich - what's sublime and beautiful about that the comments board is that while "talking point" discussions do inevitably bubble up - they tend not to find much echo, and so fade out pretty quickly.
	10:49am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): His mother dresses him funny too.
	10:49am zopa: I was wondering how you were going to get from Malcolm X to Grace Jones, Trouble. Nice Job!
	10:50am Hubig Pie: If we have learned anything in this life it's that the leatherette is indeed, warm
	10:50am Andres: Recent bird study puts global population at 50 billion. I would have guessed/hoped higher.
	10:50am SSS: But HOW, Hugbi, how?
	10:50am YETI BOB: I was about to reply to H Given but honestly I think it's pointless. So let's talk about leatherette, mycology and ornithology.
	10:51am YETI BOB: SSS: Isn't it just the car seats, that are warm from people sitting on them?
	10:51am Stevel: Birds rule!
	10:51am karlward: Warm leatherette mycology has never worked anywhere
	10:51am H Given: I am a long time listener of WFMU. Great show Trouble!
	10:51am Andres: Feed the birds not the trolls.
	10:52am steveo: the leatherette, alas, must be cold by now
	10:52am karlward: I am never sitting on a couch again
	10:52am Exoskeletal: Anybody else here think the state birds are crap?
	10:53am headcleaner: @andrea - exactly. and keep your mushroom garden fed, too
	10:53am SSS: The meanings of descriptive terms, like socialism, should be loose definitions, not turned into highly precise definitions.
	10:53am Avrilinmay: cannot wait for the days where trolls' keyboards won't work anywhere <sigh>
	10:53am JT: the largest living organism on earth is a fungus
	10:54am H Given: troll: someone who posts something that someone disagrees with
	10:55am zopa: tougher than tough. dreader than dread. thanks trouble. excellent show, as usual.
	10:55am redbee: JT: is that the one in Oregon that I've read about? A few miles long, or something?
	10:55am Mark Williams: speaking of fungi, anyone else read that book by Merlin Sheldrake?
	10:55am DJ Guin: @YeTi bOB -- www.youtube.com...
	10:56am Tank Top: Grace Jones' memoir is pretty fun
	10:56am Exoskeletal: Merlin Sheldrake...fun guy I hear.
	10:56am YETI BOB: SSS: I tried to read "Crash" by JG Ballard once, I found it too disturbing to finish it. But maybe he explains why the leatherette was warm.
	10:57am JT: @redbee, yes i believe that's the one ... there are others in other parts of the world that are quite large, too
	10:57am Matt Fiveash: H Given- that's more like it! "god damn you're ugly" is a little closer to the kind of high minded dialogue we try to foster around here. In that spirit, you look like you been whooped with a ugly stick
	10:57am Kpx: Just learned of the land tax exemption issue being resolved. Good to know that potential financial threat is no longer a headache for FMU. I know everytime I jump in as a lesser educated small fry to go swimming with the more educated big fish on the FMU comments, I can always be sure to see a new word or phrase.
	10:57am oshiwoshi: @Mark Williams: Didn't read, but heard the abridged audiobook on BBC sounds
	10:57am Stevel: YETI BOB: The movie is way f-ed up. Pretty challenging.
	10:58am Peter Kaprelian: This was sampled. Grace Jones.
	10:58am Andres: The only baseball hats worth having are the ones whose teams have bird names. Exceptions Expos and Brewers.
	10:58am YETI BOB: Book recommendation: Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World by Paul Stamets.
	10:58am H Given: Thank you Trouble for the great show.....peace everyone!
	10:59am YETI BOB: Stevel: I survived a fairly traumatic car crash (decades ago) - and there's NO WAY I'm going to see that movie!
	11:00am ChukAmok: Thanks for the recommendation Yeti Bob! Looking for something to forage until the chanterelles start popping up.
	11:00am Peter Kaprelian: DAMN! I want me some Grace Jones cds!
	11:00am YETI BOB: Stamets has written a bunch of good books on fungi
	11:00am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @YETI BOB: I'm right there with ya. We hit a moose at 50 mph in a Mini Cooper. Crashes are no longer entertaining in any way.
	11:02am YETI BOB: I'm OK with the song though.... it's pretty minimalistic and detached and doesn't get to me the way the book did
	11:02am ChukAmok: @Stevel was that adaption of the novel directed by Cronenberg? I could look it up, sure, but there are some disingenuous comments that need pushing further into history...
	11:02am karlward: My friend Christie Leece did her master's thesis at my grad school on making art from mushrooms--mushrooms that were grown in toxic soil to capture the toxins. itp.nyu.edu...
	11:03am DJ Guin: I half-expected @HyperDose to magically appear when the word MUSHROOM is mentioned.
	11:04am YETI BOB: karlward: i know an artist here in Chicago who also uses mycelium as a material ... it's pretty interesting
	11:04am joe mulligan: the song was def inspired by the book, but I didn't know it until Tuesday I think Creamo played another cover. saw Crash around when it was released but I'd never read the book. back then I had a big crush on rosanna arquette
	11:04am Stevel: YETI BOB: Wise choice. It is highly erotic, thus, more disturbing overall. ChukAMok: I believe that's it.
	11:04am Glistener MW: @YETIBOB -- Paul Stamets is great! And has the greatest author-bio-photo that has ever or will ever exist: images.squarespace-cdn.com...
	11:05am YETI BOB: Glistener MW: That' FANTASTIC.
	11:06am YETI BOB: Stamets has written about putting mushroom caps in the brim of his hat, so that when he walks around the woods he's constantly spreading spores. That detail is not visible in that photo, but it might be because of all the bees ....
	11:06am Exoskeletal: Take the next day off the 2nd day of Moderna due to EXCITEMENT FROM THE SAFETY OF DEATH
	11:07am JT: @exoskeletal, HA! good for you.
	11:07am headcleaner: have had my share of run-ins with large objects at high velocities. It's truly a miracle I'm still here, and not strapped into a chair in a long-term care facility somewhere. It's not an experience I'd particularly recommend. But I think it has helped me to appreciate the time we have alloted to us, that much more (trite as that may sound)
	11:07am redbee: I'm a Stamets fan but would not recommend his actual supplement/products! In spite of all of his good talk, he fills his pills with myceliated grain (the substrate... or "roots" to be totally inaccurate) as filler, as opposed to the fruiting bodies (where all the good stuff is). Donno what the ratio is, but any amount of grain is a rip-off
	11:08am TDK60: Getting vaccinated is controversial? Huh, must've missed the article in the paper.
	11:08am ChukAmok: I've been researching replacing our styrofoam shipping coolers with the biodegradable mushroom coolers for years, but still have not found a cost-effective solution, unfortunately.
	11:08am DJ Guin: Anyone near MetLife Stadium can receive the Pfizer Vaxx without an appointment! Administered at the Old Racetrack near LOT H.
	11:10am Kpx: Which pharmaceutical brand vaccine is touted to be the best. I want to avoid the one that's giving people blood clots, unless that one has already been stopped.
	11:10am ChukAmok: @Yeti Bob it's best to use a straw basket or similar when foraging as it allows the spores to fall to the ground and spread the mushrooms. Another reason to ditch plastic bags.
	11:10am YETI BOB: karlward: Here's my friend Erin LaRocque. sites.saic.edu... She also makes some really nice jewelry incorporating fungi and plant materials www.etsy.com...
	11:10am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): I have to day, I have been very much enjoying the EXCITEMENT FROM THE SAFETY OF DEATH. Also, the oysters I had on Saturday.
	11:11am YETI BOB: Kpx: Everyone I know seems to think Pfizer is the best but nobody can tell me exactly why. Maybe because it's German?
	11:11am sugarwolf: I’m disappointed by my county’s health commissioner who keeps saying that the lower vaccine rates are only about hesitancy and not access in an article that breaks down percentages by town and the affluent places have much much higher rates.
	11:12am DJ Guin: @KPX -- TBH, the J&J blood clot blow-up is kinda misleading. Underlying conditions led to a few, but a significantly small number of those with that side effect.
	11:12am Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): lovedb that segue!
	11:12am Carmichael: The best vaccine is the one you get.
	11:12am steveo: MBB: YES
	11:12am YETI BOB: Ok, I had to look it up: "Dʿmt was a kingdom located in Eritrea and northern Ethiopia that existed during the 10th to 5th centuries BC.". This song is not about the Kingdom of D.M.T.
	11:12am Glistener MW: @redbee -- ah, interesting, I didn't know that - that's a shame! I've only read pieces by him but didn't know anything about his pill business
	11:12am Undead83: What a great last song, not sure if it's my mood or the usual WFMU magic ^^
	11:13am karlward: I think it's less confusing if you say "EXCITEMENT OF THE SAFETY FROM DEATH." The other way ("EXCITEMENT FROM THE SAFETY OF DEATH") would mean that death is safety and you are therefore excited about the safety you will get from death, which is probably the opposite of what you mean. Probably. I hope.
	11:13am YETI BOB: redbee - thanks for the tip. i have never bought any Stamets product but I like his books.
	11:14am ChukAmok: @kpx there is no "best" vaccine. Vaccine supremacy really needs to stop.
	11:14am Listener Gregory: "excitement of the safety from prepositions!"
	11:14am karlward: Excitement of the Safety from Death is an excellent band name. ChukAmok are you busy? Want to write and record some songs as "Excitement of the Safety from Death"? I'm game.
	11:14am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): @karward: True! I was just lazy and did a copy/past.
	11:14am JT: prepositions will cut you
	11:14am Jeff in Brooklyn: Listener Gregory -- Perfect!
	11:15am ChukAmok: @karlward YES.
	11:15am Listener Gregory: No one expects prepositions.
	11:15am Exoskeletal: @Karlward I will work on my grammar as I'm casually not dying of a now manageable respiratory virus.
	11:16am Carmichael: Noooo body expects the Spanish prepositions.
	11:16am redbee: @MW & Yeti: Yeah, it doesn't impinge on my fondness of him and his work, but... if you're inclined to supplement, look for brands that don't use mycelium. I've been using the tinctures from a co. called Mushroom Revival. I was skeptical, but the reishi legitimately helps my sleep quality. (And I'll stop before I start to sound like a commercial...)
	11:16am Jeff in Brooklyn: and the Mel Brooks follow up! Listener Gregory you are sharp this morning!
	11:16am headcleaner: @Kpx - I don't want to discount your concerns about blod clotting; but the incidence is quite low. As to which vaccine is "best", everything I'm hearing points to Pfizier (aka BioNTech) first, followed by Moderna. It may not be the first one you're offered (whereever you are), but with a bit of research, you should be able to score an appointment
	11:17am steveo: fantastic set; all my molecules are vibrating
	11:17am karlward: Exoskeletal: I hope you don't spend your safety-from-death years on grammar!
	11:17am sphere: I had two shots of Pfizer and am fully vaccinated. Thank you! <bow>
	11:17am bigkafka: this billy gault track is tops
	11:17am ChukAmok: No one expects the Spanish pretensions.
	11:17am YETI BOB: Vaccine comparison: www.statnews.com... Pfizer got approved first, has the highest reputation, and is 95% effective. Moderna is 94.1% effective. And J&J got some bad PR for several reasons.
	11:17am DJ Guin: Tonight on FOX News: Illegal Immigrants Want to Steal YOUR Vaccine!
	11:18am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Completely unrelated to any of this fine talk: everybody is doing the summer hiring thing around here. There's a seafood place not far from here and their sign says... "Long-haired freaky people, please apply within."
	11:18am sugarwolf: Among friends and others I know, Pfizer seems to have the least side effects? But everyone’s different.
	11:18am YETI BOB: Very cool redbee, I found a reishi once but didn't quite know what to do with it - I made a very bitter tea but it was hard to drink enough of it to know if it had any effect.
	11:18am sphere: Tonight on Fox News: Tucker Carlson Is Fully Immunized And Won't Admit It!
	11:18am headcleaner: Pfizer, not "Pfizier". Echoing what YB said.
	11:19am TDK60: Richest nation in the world: 38% vaccination rate.
	11:20am Kpx: Thanks everyone for your input. But you know how it is when you hear all kinds of contradictory advice and statements. Just want to get some kind of idea of what to choose before I get jabbed.
	11:20am JT: pfizer gave me chills and soreness 24-36 hours after the second shot but i ain't complaining
	11:20am YETI BOB: TDK60: That's where decades of anti-science, anti-intellectual, anti-vax ideology gets you
	11:20am DJ Guin: Tonight on Fox News: You cannot spell M%THERF*CKER without T-U-C-K-E-R.
	11:20am redbee: @Yeti: Yeah, I looked into DIY, and... sounds like the extraction process is pretty labor-intensive to get something concentrated. I add this stuff into my cereal/yogurt/oatmeal and that masks the taste pretty well
	11:21am sphere: Kpx, none of that has happened here. I think we are all all pro-vax. There is no reason to not get the vaccine.
	11:21am ChukAmok: @headcleaner is "Pfizier" the carbonated vaccine option?
	11:21am WoodsOfNH (now Maine): Carlson 'reporting' that people were dying from taking the vaccine was a low point for him, among all his other low pints.
	11:21am Rich in Washington: This is lovely.
	11:22am VincentNifigance: No reason not to get the vaccine. No reasoning with those that won’t get it.
	11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: LOVE that Billy Gault.
	11:22am headcleaner: my data point w/ Pfizer: no effects after 1st shot; very mild chills (less than from a typical flu shot) after the 2nd. But that's just my data point. Better to look at comprehensive studies, of the kind YB posted above
	11:22am Listener Gregory: That Billy Gault piece was great. Sounded like Sun Ra doing soul music.
	11:22am sphere: And you bet your damn bippy that Carlson got vaccinated as soon as he could, the rat.
	11:22am JT: get the vaccine!
	11:22am Hughie Considine: @Chuck, Pfi-Zima ?
	11:22am Mike W: i got Pfizer x 2 and had one day of bad side effects, then a following day of mild symptoms, then fine and the antlers that grew in just popped off all by themselves eventually!
	11:22am zopa: booniay!!!!!
	11:23am TDK60: Yeti, you have a point.
	11:23am Rich in Washington: I didn't feel anything from my two Pfizer shots. If I was sore, both shots coincided with me doing a lot of yardwork lately, so I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference in my half-century+ old body.
	11:23am headcleaner: @ChukAmok: I wouldn't be surprised if they started offering "carbonated" vaccine versions. Along with cherry flavored, CBD enhanced, etc. What with all the free beer, free baseball ticket etc promotions they've been doing
	11:24am Ike: With J&J, the blood clotting issues occurred rarely, and with more women than men. 28 cases out of 8.7 million, so you probably have a better chance of being hit by lightning than getting a blood clot. This has some but not all of the details: www.msn.com...
	11:25am DJ Guin: Wait until the Karens come out against vaccinating their ankle-biting whelps.
	11:25am ChukAmok: @Hughie definitely for the spring break crowd! @headcleaner "here's a bag of Lay's to go with the chip we will be putting in your arm today"
	11:26am YETI BOB: Re: flavored vaxx: I looked at the ingredients for the Pfizer vaccine and it contains sugar!!
	11:27am ChukAmok: "Why isn't this vax certified organic/kosher/GF..?"
	11:27am YETI BOB: "Basic table sugar, also known as sucrose, can also be found in the new COVID vaccine. This ingredient helps the molecules maintain their shape during freezing."
	11:28am JT: parve moderna. now there's a band name.
	11:28am Carmichael: Donna, Gateway to Joy.
	11:28am listener james from westwood: Donna's in for Fab!
	11:28am Joe McG: Hey Trouble - Donna is in for Fabs today.
	11:29am TDK60: I had fun getting my first shot. The nurse and I laughed about our slightly muffled talk through our mathks.
	11:29am YETI BOB: but Pseu should be there at noon, right?
	11:29am DJ Guin: "Is the vaccine GLUTEN FREE?!?!?"
	11:30am YETI BOB: Guin: Yes, actually ...
	11:30am Trouble: ooooooo yes yeti, i am soooooo out of it this morning! merci! i have had one crazeeeeeee week. teaching burn out is setting in
	11:30am TDK60: Gotta run, Trouble. Thanks!
	11:30am Kpx: Were those puffins I heard before?
	11:32am DJ Guin: @YETI -- "Is there a chance the track could bend?"
	11:32am ChukAmok: I was volunteering at a vax site in NC February through March and had a great time labeling syringes with the nurses and other volunteers. The extra dose(s) at the end of the day were just a bonus.
	11:34am Mark Williams: old fave here, this Soft Verdict. That compilation too.
	11:35am Kpx: I'm 95% sure that I'm going to go with Pfizer, it seems to be the more certain and popular choice.
	11:38am Glistener MW: @Guin: Not on your life, my DJ friend!
	11:38am waters7: Love this "soft verdict". They are drilling in front of my house and sawing in the back. This is more of a soothing kind of mechanical sound.
	11:39am waters7: "burn out" is the topic of a Jill Lepore article in this week's New Yorker.
	11:40am DJ Guin: "What's it called?" "Monorail!"
	11:41am Hubig Pie: The ring came off my pudding can!
	11:42am People Like Us: sounds about right
	11:43am BigP0ppa: Not many shops left like that nowadays Sylvia. Although you can still buy a pigs head in Leeds market
	11:44am davefromtoronto: i tried reading that article last night but i felt too burned out to finish it...
	11:44am JT: I am always amused by how "New England dowager" Sylvia Plath sounded
	11:44am People Like Us: perhaps she might have thought about being a vegetarian
	11:45am mariano: Always choose the cat.
	11:45am Mungerphut: I'll take a cat, please
	11:45am Hubig Pie: She definitely has a vintage Julia Child brogue
	11:46am Hughie Considine: You can tell from her brief remarks about children that parenting was a real challenge to her. Seems like she almost resented having to build your world around children, which at the early stages anyway, you have to do.
	11:46am Justin: Lovely and creepy song. One of the greatest.
	11:46am Mungerphut: Honestly, that SP in the midst of the music is what I come to WFMU for.
	11:46am melinda: @JT yeah. I like hearing the older accents.
	11:48am JT: nothing like how i imagined when reading her poems long ago
	11:48am eva: good almost afternoon. i can envision her singing this with a butcher knife in hand.
	11:48am steveo: salad
	11:48am eva: must have been all that talk about meat.
	11:49am Kpx: I didn't know trouble was a teacher, mind if I ask what grade you teach. And are you teaching via computer?. That's probably an old question and subject for you, so if you don't want to say no problem.
	11:50am Modera World: Pfizer is a US company founded in 1849 by two German brothers in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY, USA.
	11:51am Moderna World: MODERNA
	11:51am Trouble: i teach high school art @kpx. i have taught pre k to college. yes i am virtual, since last march. i am losing it. never have i been sooooo looking forward to end of school
	11:52am headcleaner: just recalibrated my mid-day shopping plans to bring me back home as close as possible to the start of Donna's fill-in
	11:53am oshiwoshi: @Trouble merci buckets for the post humpday musical massage. I come in wanting to drop-kick the world into Hell's handbasket and leave with that lovin' feeling.
	11:53am steveo: my dear spouse is a preschool teacher; last year was pretty absurd doing zooms with 3- and 4-year-olds. Thank goodness she is in person (and now vaccinated). I hope your school will go back in person next year Trouble
	11:54am 12539: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:55am Ike: @KPX I ended up w/Pfizer because that’s what they had but I don’t think there is any true scientifically observable or statistically significant difference between Pfizer and Moderna. Differences noted by commenters are anecdotal. They have the same basis (the tech for a general overall coronavirus vaccine was already being worked on before the pandemic) and are quite similar as I understand it.
	11:56am steveo: oh yes, thanks for a marvelous show; where does the time go?
	11:56am redbee: Thanks Trouble! Till next week, comrades! ... err, "listeners" ;)
	11:56am Hughie Considine: Wow, I spent four years teaching preschool in NYC and can only imagine how difficult that would have been from a remote setting. Hang in there, Trouble.
	11:56am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. A lovely show today. ♥️
	11:56am Andres: Terrific tunes, Trouble! Thanks!
	11:57am radioronan: Thanks Trouble!
	11:57am steveo: trouble is high school, Hughie
	11:57am steveo: YAY -- THE STUDIO
	11:58am Kpx: @Trouble: hang tough, relief is just around the corner. Thanks for today's show enjoy your day. And thanks to everyone else for their vaccine advice. Take care everyone
	11:58am Ryansterlingvirtue: Great show today, Thanks!
	11:59am Hughie Considine: I realize that, Steveo - my point was that teaching remotely must be hard.
	11:59am Rich in Bristol: Thank you, Trouble!
	11:59am Listener Gregory: Thanks for an excellent show, Trouble.
	11:59am steveo: yeah, i thought so, but just making sure i didn't mislead you :)
