	9:16am Zinn The Mood: Hello again Trouble and Troublemakers. Love the transcendental tones you typically start with. Perfect. Am sitting with a blueberry/banana/peanut butter smoothie and a chicory and espresso coffee, with two books in front of me. A Haymarket Books collection called “After Life: A collective history of loss and redemption in pandemic America” and David Graeber’s last and truly wonderful “The Dawn of Everything: a new history of humanity.” Condolences to you, Yetz.
	9:16am Yetz: Thanks. She was 96, so it's expected, but still kind of a big thing when it happens
	9:16am Phillippe: ↳ Yetz @9:13 Sorry to hear that, Yetz. Hang in there, my friend
	9:16am TDK60: ↳ Yetz @9:13 Yetz, my sympathy to you and yours.

	9:19am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @9:16 Zinn, I look forward to reading that Graeber book. I met him once.
	9:19am Yetz: Thanks everyone. I wasn't sure about mentioning it here, but it felt weirder not to mention it. You are all wonderful people.
	9:20am Karl Ward: ↳ Yetz @9:19 A lot of us have been there. I'm sorry you have to go through this.
	9:20am Vivian: My condolences. I can understand how difficult it is when a parent passes. Hang in there.
	9:21am love2laf: ↳ Yetz @9:13 It's a very hard time, I know, but do hold the wonderful warm memories close, and share them with those you love.
	9:21am Listener John from NJ: I'm sorry for your loss, Yetz.
	9:25am Webhamster Henry: fitting nicely in this set is something I did back in 1988: www.echonyc.com...
	9:27am listener james from westwood: ↳ Yetz @9:13 Goodness, Yetz, I am so sorry.
	9:27am Quinn02: Trouble, I think you might like a band called Tengger. I've been listening to them lately a bunch. In the realm of Yoshimura / Aurelia Smith
	9:27am Triple G in NYC: LLS… love his grooves
	9:28am Yetz: thanks everyone for your kindness. and thanks Trouble for this excellent show.
	9:28am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @9:19 Man, after reading the first chapter couldn’t help texting people that it was probably the best book I’ll ever read. Not sure I still feel that strongly after almost 200 pages. But it is pretty astounding and exciting to imagine the scenarios put forth. Makes sense of how many of us today feel out of sync with being forced into an alienating world of unforgiving capitalism. Wasn’t always like this… Yes, wonderful book indeed!
	9:28am Triple G in NYC: Condolences, Yetz — hoping the love and music here bringing a modicum of solace 🙏
	9:28am Trouble: thanks @ quinn02, i will look that up!
	9:29am Yetz: tengger.net
	9:29am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "space lady" by "lonnie liston smith" The Doctor is in!
	9:29am Yetz: Tengger is awesome!
	9:29am melinda: hi friends
	9:30am Yetz: Hi melinda!
	9:30am Handy Haversack: Yetz, in times of grief and times of joy, I often find that this poem gets at it. www.thetimes.co.uk...
	9:31am Quinn02: ↳ Yetz @9:29 aren't they? There's a lot of music that is sort of similar. But somehow their sounds stand out to me
	9:32am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:30 That's beautiful, thanks friend.
	9:33am Yetz: No sunlight in the garden today, but I'm grateful for the snowy days too.
	9:38am Cosmic: Joe Bataan was so good last week! Thanks Trouble
	9:38am Robm: Hello trouble and fellow troublemakers
	9:40am nnaavvaall: I haven't heard you for years, Trouble. So happy to hear the French and the birds and the music.

	9:44am Editor B: Speaking of the wonderfulness of Lonnie Holley reminds me of when I met him oh so briefly in 2014 and took this photo: www.flickr.com... When he shook my hand he said, “Thumbs up for Mother Universe!”
	9:45am alan the painter: wow Lonnie! had to jump back under the colors, covers after break_fast while U came on now UP and ready to dance on ceiling...gute en morgen dear tRouble!

	9:54am Cosmic: Dub Trouble U FMU 🥰
	9:55am Strandlund: ↳ Yetz @9:13 My condolences, Yetz...Pixie headed your way.
	9:55am Prodigal Daughter: ↳ Editor B @9:44 Editor B, that is a fantastic photo! May I ask what was going on in the background there? And yes - "thumbs up to Mother Universe" indeed!
	9:56am Chris Hiatt: Lotsa good flute action on the show today, nice!
	9:59am Trouble: lonnie is standing in front of one of his artworks @ prodigal daughter
	9:59am Editor B: @Trouble & @Prodigal Daughter photo was at Xavier University in New Orleans, and the smashed piano was his art installation. You can see it better here: www.flickr.com... I don't think I even knew he was a musician when I took those photos!
	10:01am Yetz: y'all are the best
	10:05am Juli: Such a nice set:::
	10:05am uselysses: The 9:00 Thursday meeting is deadly, I’m supposed to be immersed in Trouble’s healing bath of sound
	10:07am Zipperhead7: ↳ Song: "nappy dugout" by "funkadelic" There's another volume to this collection, also highly recommended: "Soul Of A Nation: Afro-Centric Visions In The Age Of Black Power – Underground Jazz, Street Funk; The Roots Of Rap 1968-79"
	10:07am alan the painter: nice Trouble is jus trouble n'tremble
	10:08am TDK60: I just read Angela Davis' early autobiography, 1974.
	10:08am alan the painter: ↳ uselysses @10:05 yes, late to thee bathe...
	10:09am Prodigal Daughter: ↳ Editor B @9:59 Thanks, Editor B and Trouble! The random trumpet in the middle of the smashed piano really kicks in up a notch. Such an interesting dude.
	10:11am sydnius: ↳ Yetz @10:01 You never walk alone Yetz, I lost my Dad this past fall. 🤟🏻
	10:11am RevErie: diggin' the show! (first time listener)
	10:14am Yetz: ↳ Song: "rahma" by "kadef abgi" RED HOT
	10:17am Trouble: thanks@ReveErie!
	10:17am Craig fitch: I’ve always loved your music
	10:18am ?: Love this. Hi everybody. Sorry for your loss, Yetz (heart)
	10:19am Yetz: thanks everyone for all the kind words and sympathy
	10:22am rx scabin: Good morning, Trouble and Everyone.
	10:23am rx scabin: Yetz, I am sorry to hear of your loss.
	10:29am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Yetz @9:13 Sorry for your loss Yetz. I know the feeling...and it has been years. It will get better is a cliche but there's a grain of truth in it.
	10:30am Jason from Houston: Just tuning in. Gee's Bend!
	10:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all. @Yetz, just catching up on comments and my sincere condolences for your loss. It's always rough and a shock no matter how and when the sad inevitable happens. Sending pixie dust your way. Also, in the words of my own recently departed Mom, "it's the most natural thing in the world for children to outlive their parents, which is why it's the biggest tragedy when the opposite happens." All of her pragmatism didn't make the loss sting less, and I am there with you.
	10:32am Slaboch: Greetings from the snowy tundra of Michigan! This is a great set to shovel snow to this morning!
	10:34am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And @Trouble, thank you for the gentle start to a tough AM. Was up late last evening/night running essential after-work errands in the yucky rain; small blessings that it wasn't snow, so this is most welcome while I get into work mode here....USPS run later, hopefully the rain will hold off for a bit.
	10:34am Jason from Houston: All the love your way, Yetz. Thinking of you.
	10:35am Yetz: Thanks threemoons, rx, Woods and Jason. You are all so kind.
	10:36am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:07 Thanks for the rec!
	10:36am love2laf: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:32 My mom said the same, repeatedly. I think she started after a neighbour passed and left a wife and two small kids who were my playmates. That's when I remember her saying it to them, and hearing it for the first time.
	10:37am northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:34 you're never escaping your usps gauntlets, are you? (buena suerte)
	10:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "silly games" by "janet kay" sweet voice!
	10:37am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "silly games" by "janet kay" Aw-- this song (and Lovers Rock) always take me straight back to quarantine. What a bright spot in that awful time.
	10:37am Trouble: if you would like to send a message of complaint to the college board, re: the whole insanity with florida rejecting the AP african american history course because they "don't agree with it", please click below. they shouldn't get to pick and choose what they want to teach. collegeboard.tfaforms.net...
	10:38am The Oscar: ICYMI, Small Axe is coming out on Criterion! www.criterion.com...
	10:39am Yetz: ↳ The Oscar @10:38 That looks really good
	10:39am northguineahills: ↳ Trouble @10:37 relevant to my interests, thanks!
	10:39am John L: Re: Angela Davis. She is interviewed in the new PBS Roberta Flack documentary.
	10:41am northguineahills: I mean, i took AP European History in HS in FL, and would have jumped at the chance to take AP African American History if it were offered back then...
	10:42am northguineahills: ↳ John L @10:39 cool, was going to take a gander at that this weekend....
	10:43am Trouble: lovers rock ( the movie ) is still streaming on amazn prme
	10:43am northguineahills: ↳ Trouble @10:43 ooooo, thanks, hadn't seen that in eons...
	10:44am northguineahills: back to class, muchas dankes, trouble!
	10:45am Yetz: ↳ Trouble @10:43 if you watch it on Criterion you're not giving $$ to Jff Bz*s
	10:45am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Trouble @10:37 Done! I have chimed in as a concerned, disgruntled citizen and Mrs. Woods (former teacher) will as well. Truly disgusting, this topic.
	10:45am Yetz: ↳ Yetz @10:45 (unless he bought that too)
	10:46am Zipperhead7: ↳ northguineahills @10:41 As Jamelle Bouie recently noted in the NY Times, DeSantis's ranting about CRT is just a sideshpw to his real agenda -- clashing the safety net. He is a Social Darwinist at heart. And he thinks he was chosen by god
	10:46am TDK60: ↳ Trouble @10:37 Please remind me, what "AP" is re. history. (I keep visualing a supermarket.)
	10:46am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Yetz @10:45 Now THAT would be truly revolting.
	10:48am Trouble: AP = advanced placement. more challenging class for high school students. they can take a test and get college credit if they score high enough
	10:50am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "tu no sabes" by "bio ritmo" This is absurdly good
	10:51am rx scabin: This is what I need.
	10:52am Marie: ↳ Trouble @10:37 Just sent a message. It's outrageous to me that subjects taught in school can be mandated by politicians. Thanks for the link
	10:53am captain beef fart: Not related to anything but I received a shipment of records yesterday and had a "what in the hell?" moment. Apparently this vendor uses old, throw away records to bookend what was ordered for shipping. I opened the package and saw soundtracks for Carol Channing/Hello Dolly and Marlon Brando/Last Tango in Paris. Thought I got the wrong package but actual order was sandwiched between them.
	10:54am garlic lover: This one has a fela Kuti feel to it
	10:55am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "world war IV" by "Antibalas" I first heard this band years ago on a show called "La Blogotech" (can't remember the network). Also learned about early Fleet Foxes on that show.
	10:55am love2laf: ↳ captain beef fart @10:53 That is eight kinds of awesome, what a great idea to reuse vinyl that can't be sold.
	10:55am WoodsOfMaine: ...blogoteque"...duh.
	10:56am 07834: Life, affirmed. Thank you, Trouble!
	10:56am TDK60: ↳ garlic lover @10:54 garlic lover: yes, Antibalas plays in an Afrobeat stylee. I saw 'em a few years ago in Central Park.
	10:56am rx scabin: @captain beef fart those are actually pretty good records.
	10:56am Zipperhead7: ↳ captain beef fart @10:53 I got a CD yesterday from a guy who is selling his collection on ebay. Tucked inside was a pamphlet for Armageddon. Guess he's getting ready for the Rapture
	10:57am Trouble: the most fabulous band bio: antibalas.com...
	10:57am Yetz: ↳ captain beef fart @10:53 Yeah, my copy of "Shufflemania" was sandwiched inside a gatefold of "Music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart". Opening the package - "I didn't order this!"
	10:57am northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:46 we don't mention death$antis' name around here...
	10:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "psych city" by "ohio penitentiary 511 jazz ensemble" why the caged bird sings... or plays sax
	10:58am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "world war IV" by "Antibalas" antibalas used to play a lot in nyc in the noughts (saw them a few times)
	11:00am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "psych city" by "ohio penitentiary 511 jazz ensemble" This set keeps getting better and better!
	11:00am Trouble: antibalas is playing may 18 at blue note
	11:02am eileen_tooth: Hi
	11:02am Trouble: more info on the quilt that is at the top of the playlist page www.soulsgrowndeep.org...
	11:04am captain beef fart: ↳ rx scabin @10:56 I'm going to save them for my next white elephant gift exchange
	11:06am MeMo BoingBoing: Good song and good record, that Spritual Jazz comp! It's been my office go-to since discovering thanks to Trouble!
	11:08am Susan & Bryan: wow
	11:11am The Oscar: Ahh-- my wife's a quilter, but just stepped out for an appointment. She would have loved to hear this segment!
	11:11am Trouble: collegeboard.tfaforms.net...
	11:12am Bdogg & Felix: ❤️❤️❤️❤️
	11:12am Crownless Gander: Don't like history? Just don't teach it!
	11:12am Roberto: Funny how the free-speech-at-any-cost crowd seems to have very little interest in free speech.
	11:13am Roberto: ↳ The Oscar @11:11 I read "my wife's a quitter" at first lol
	11:13am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @11:12 Don't like history? Then you're doomed to repeat it.
	11:13am rw: There are a couple Gee's Bend quilts up now in an exhibit at Skirball Museum in the Los Angeles area.
	11:13am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:13 BTW my wife's a knitter not a quitter :P
	11:13am rw: https://www.skirball.org/museum/fabric-nation-american-quilt-stories
	11:14am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @11:13 Or rather the people you oppress are doomed to.
	11:14am AnotherJon: University of Richmond has a little Gee's Bend show up currently where they take the quilts and turn them into prints. pretty cool
	11:15am Jason from Houston: From 2007 after the Gee's Bend show at the MFAH: www.chron.com...
	11:15am Vivian: Florida is such a deeply red state. Gainesville, where UF is located, is considered a liberal island in a very conservative area. Ben Sasse is now the president of UF, so watch as the curriculum changes at the college level.
	11:15am The Oscar: ↳ Roberto @11:13 Ha-- my wife's both a quilter and a knitter, which I suppose makes her a "quitter!"
	11:15am Roberto: ↳ The Oscar @11:15 lolz
	11:16am ?: ↳ Trouble @11:11 Thanks for the link! consider posting it again before you sign off. Excellent show !
	11:17am Jenny: Quilting is an extremely diverse art medium if you are into it like me, you just know. Whether you are a historical quilter or a modern quilter, a beautiful and useful artform, IMHO. @prideandjoyquilting.com Luv the show!
	11:17am WoodsOfMaine: @Yetz: I bought a handful of fragrance samples yesterday from somebody on etsy. Why am I telling you this? The line/brand is called "Sweaty Yeti"
	11:17am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:12 To these dipshirts, "free speech" means you're free to either agree with them or shut up.
	11:17am Marie: I think it should be put really plainly that what people like DeSantis are trying to do is keep racism and class differences based on color intact.
	11:18am Yetz: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:17 You paid for that? I'll give it to you for free!
	11:18am northguineahills: ↳ Vivian @11:15 that's very true. Gainesville is a liberal oasis in a sea of red (usually vote D >90% w/in the city limits [i used to live there])
	11:19am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Yetz @11:18 Mrs. Woods says "Eeeeewwwwe!!!"
	11:20am Vivian: ↳ northguineahills @11:18 My husband is an alum. We discussed moving to Gainesville years ago. But the way politics are playing out down there, we took it off the table.
	11:20am northguineahills: (but once you step outside the city limits...oh boy! [complete culture change])
	11:21am Trouble: exactly @marie
	11:21am northguineahills: ↳ Vivian @11:20 aye, i'm an alum as well. culturally, it does really punch above its weight (good diy music/art scene)
	11:23am Vivian: ↳ northguineahills @11:20 Exactly! I remember driving out from Cape San Blas and seeing a billboard that said something like 'Go home liberals and take your money with you'. It was on a lonely road with a few trailers/shot gun houses and a dollar general.
	11:25am Zipperhead7: ↳ northguineahills @11:18 It's not much different once you get about 20 miles north of NYC. I went to a meeting of the county Democrats awhile back. The two of them used to just talk on the phone, but then I moved here.
	11:25am Vivian: ↳ northguineahills @11:21 I agree. Good options for hiking, biking and kayaking. We met folks who ran breweries, restaurants, etc so the diy vibe also won me over.
	11:27am Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "gizli duygular" by "anadol" Me like
	11:29am Stanley: ↳ Song: "gizli duygular" by "anadol" Me likey too
	11:30am Yetz: from Anadol's bandcamp: "You can hear drummers laughing and playing guitars, composers howling, announcements in French and screams in no language, record collectors playing oscillators, and trumpets through spacious echoes. "
	11:31am Yetz: ("Record collectors playing oscillators" is very close to home)
	11:31am Yes: Hello everyone
	11:32am Ike: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:25 (???) Did you mean to type “200”? Isn’t the area 20 mi. N represented by Jamaal Bowman, a progressive?
	11:33am Marie: ↳ Vivian @11:23 I have to say that I remain mystified by why and how those attitudes took root
	11:36am Yetz: ↳ Marie @11:33 I think it behooves us all to try to learn how and why, otherwise there will be no change
	11:36am Trouble: @marie, i imagine it is the proliferation of right wing media that sells swill and lies, in order to anger people
	11:36am rx scabin: Thank you, Trouble for the excellent selecting. I must go to work now.
	11:37am Marie: ↳ Trouble @11:36 Yeah, I could totally see that. They are capitalizing on the whole "in-group/out-grou"--us/them thing in human nature. SAD
	11:39am Zipperhead7: ↳ Ike @11:32 It's Orange County, which is just over the NJ border
	11:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Trouble @11:36 had to laugh when someone on fox news called "antifa" people unappealing when sitting at a table full of uggos. talk about unappealing
	11:41am Zipperhead7: That "I'm Just Like You" CD is killer. A lot sounds like work tapes for "There's a Riot Goin' On."
	11:42am SeanG: both democrats and republicans suck, people have to stop voting
	11:42am βrian: "Vote Hard!"
	11:42am Ike: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:39 I’d say that’s NW, not N. And wasn’t Orange Co. represented by Mondaire Jones until just recently? I know a Republican just barely won in Nov. but that was because Sean Patrick Maloney is a stupid sleazy moron. There are lots of Dems there and they didn’t turn out.
	11:43am Marie: ↳ SeanG @11:42 I totally disagree
	11:44am Handy Haversack: Far-right and alt-right mis-/disinformation is a highly capitalized and deeply researched set of tools and techniques. At heart it is designed to keep the working classes distracted so the last dregs of the planet can be extracted by capital. The damage it does along the way is completely incidental. Its goal is to create enough division to paralyze government and neutralize any chance for not just reform but actual political consciousness. There is no real ideology there, just the pretense of one designed to keep the exploited people maximally divided so that we never are able to find common cause. Any atrocity is justified in this effort. And government is too scared to do anything about it because the ultimate goal of both parties is only to stay in power and power comes from the money donated by the exact same forces of capital. It's not a good situation, to put it mildly. But we have to keep fighting, however we can. Vote, protest, expose -- anything to show that we won't go down without a fight.
	11:45am Zipperhead7: Heading out with the Zipperdawg. Thanx, Trouble! Peace, Love and Soul Power, y'all!
	11:45am Ike: Hey NJ Democrats, are you guys going to get it together this time and try to primary Menendez with an actual candidate? Never forget, once a paper candidate ran against him and got 38% in the Dem primary without even running a campaign or spending any money. Of course he was being investigated by the FBI then… as he is again!
	11:46am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:44 What Handy said.
	11:47am Marie: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:44 Wow, yeah. Campaign financing in the US used to be somewhat better...
	11:47am Yetz: (was about to type up a long thing but he said it better)
	11:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:47 You get the next one! Zinn the Mood has to take a turn, too.
	11:49am WoodsOfMaine: I don't have a lot of hope for the political future here. The courts have been seeded with far-right goons and things like extreme gerrymandering will go on unchecked during our lifetimes. And then there's the widespread ignorance (see Handy's comment above).
	11:49am Marie: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:44 I do believe there are many well-intentioned politicians doing the best they can in this deeply flawed system in the US; and capital has somewhat less power in some other countries
	11:50am PaulRobeson1923: And yet, you have not read my Book…
	11:51am PaulRobeson1923: Yet
	11:51am roc: big trouble guy. love the trouble
	11:51am Marie: (Right now I am listening to some horrific smooth jazz as I try to straighten out a insurance issue). I think we need a global healthcare safety net
	11:51am northguineahills: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:49 it works both ways. in my volunteering, a lot of right wingers have stopped voting b/c their own propaganda makes them think the voting and political system is flawed, so, what's the use of trying...
	11:52am PaulRobeson1923: Hi Trouble! Been GListening and driving!
	11:53am Trouble: thanks for listening, see you next week
	11:53am northguineahills: ↳ Marie @11:51 yes!
	11:53am βrian: David coming up, if that interests you: wfmu.org...
	11:54am RevErie: Thanks Trouble, you made my workday enjoyable!
	11:54am spodiodi: thanks, Trouble!
	11:54am Phillippe: Thnaks Trouble!
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Trouble, thanks so much! Looking forward to a joyous Sat. night in Jersey City! We'll see you there. Stay Troubled, everyone. We got cause.
	11:55am Marie: ↳ northguineahills @11:53 Yes, I am starting to think about how that could be instantiated. Maybe it could become a cause I pursue
	11:55am Marie: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for a delightfully Troubled morning!
	11:56am Crownless Gander: Great show, thanks! I was kept from checking in here, but my ears appreciated all the vibes.
	11:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "from pink they fell into blue" by "melody's echo ... Artist of the Week on Wake and Bake and played yesterday by Mary Wing on 100 Percent Whatever. They're having a moment!
	11:58am D Rok: Thank you for another beautiful show, Trouble.
	11:59am eileen_tooth: It’s pseu time

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from January 26, 2023

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.

Am sitting with a blueberry/banana/peanut butter smoothie and a chicory and espresso coffee, with two books in front of me. A Haymarket Books collection called “After Life: A collective history of loss and redemption in pandemic America” and David Graeber’s last and truly wonderful “The Dawn of Everything: a new history of humanity.” Condolences to you, Yetz.
	9:16am Yetz: Thanks. She was 96, so it's expected, but still kind of a big thing when it happens
	9:16am Phillippe: ↳ Yetz @9:13 Sorry to hear that, Yetz. Hang in there, my friend
	9:16am TDK60: ↳ Yetz @9:13 Yetz, my sympathy to you and yours.

	9:19am Yetz: Thanks everyone. I wasn't sure about mentioning it here, but it felt weirder not to mention it. You are all wonderful people.
	9:20am Karl Ward: ↳ Yetz @9:19 A lot of us have been there. I'm sorry you have to go through this.
	9:20am Vivian: My condolences. I can understand how difficult it is when a parent passes. Hang in there.
	9:21am love2laf: ↳ Yetz @9:13 It's a very hard time, I know, but do hold the wonderful warm memories close, and share them with those you love.
	9:21am Listener John from NJ: I'm sorry for your loss, Yetz.
	9:25am Webhamster Henry: fitting nicely in this set is something I did back in 1988: www.echonyc.com...
	9:27am listener james from westwood: ↳ Yetz @9:13 Goodness, Yetz, I am so sorry.

	9:27am Triple G in NYC: LLS… love his grooves
	9:28am Yetz: thanks everyone for your kindness. and thanks Trouble for this excellent show.
	9:28am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @9:19 Man, after reading the first chapter couldn’t help texting people that it was probably the best book I’ll ever read. Not sure I still feel that strongly after almost 200 pages. But it is pretty astounding and exciting to imagine the scenarios put forth. Makes sense of how many of us today feel out of sync with being forced into an alienating world of unforgiving capitalism. Wasn’t always like this… Yes, wonderful book indeed!
	9:28am Triple G in NYC: Condolences, Yetz — hoping the love and music here bringing a modicum of solace 🙏
	9:28am Trouble: thanks @ quinn02, i will look that up!
	9:29am Yetz: tengger.net

	9:30am Handy Haversack: Yetz, in times of grief and times of joy, I often find that this poem gets at it. www.thetimes.co.uk...
	9:31am Quinn02: ↳ Yetz @9:29 aren't they? There's a lot of music that is sort of similar. But somehow their sounds stand out to me
	9:32am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:30 That's beautiful, thanks friend.
	9:33am Yetz: No sunlight in the garden today, but I'm grateful for the snowy days too.
	9:38am Cosmic: Joe Bataan was so good last week! Thanks Trouble
	9:38am Robm: Hello trouble and fellow troublemakers
	9:40am nnaavvaall: I haven't heard you for years, Trouble. So happy to hear the French and the birds and the music.

	9:55am Strandlund: ↳ Yetz @9:13 My condolences, Yetz...Pixie headed your way.
	9:55am Prodigal Daughter: ↳ Editor B @9:44 Editor B, that is a fantastic photo! May I ask what was going on in the background there? And yes - "thumbs up to Mother Universe" indeed!
	9:56am Chris Hiatt: Lotsa good flute action on the show today, nice!
	9:59am Trouble: lonnie is standing in front of one of his artworks @ prodigal daughter
	9:59am Editor B: @Trouble & @Prodigal Daughter photo was at Xavier University in New Orleans, and the smashed piano was his art installation. You can see it better here: www.flickr.com... I don't think I even knew he was a musician when I took those photos!

	10:11am sydnius: ↳ Yetz @10:01 You never walk alone Yetz, I lost my Dad this past fall. 🤟🏻
	10:11am RevErie: diggin' the show! (first time listener)

	10:29am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Yetz @9:13 Sorry for your loss Yetz. I know the feeling...and it has been years. It will get better is a cliche but there's a grain of truth in it.
	10:30am Jason from Houston: Just tuning in. Gee's Bend!
	10:32am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all. @Yetz, just catching up on comments and my sincere condolences for your loss. It's always rough and a shock no matter how and when the sad inevitable happens. Sending pixie dust your way. Also, in the words of my own recently departed Mom, "it's the most natural thing in the world for children to outlive their parents, which is why it's the biggest tragedy when the opposite happens." All of her pragmatism didn't make the loss sting less, and I am there with you.
	10:32am Slaboch: Greetings from the snowy tundra of Michigan! This is a great set to shovel snow to this morning!
	10:34am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And @Trouble, thank you for the gentle start to a tough AM. Was up late last evening/night running essential after-work errands in the yucky rain; small blessings that it wasn't snow, so this is most welcome while I get into work mode here....USPS run later, hopefully the rain will hold off for a bit.
	10:34am Jason from Houston: All the love your way, Yetz. Thinking of you.
	10:35am Yetz: Thanks threemoons, rx, Woods and Jason. You are all so kind.
	10:36am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:07 Thanks for the rec!
	10:36am love2laf: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:32 My mom said the same, repeatedly. I think she started after a neighbour passed and left a wife and two small kids who were my playmates. That's when I remember her saying it to them, and hearing it for the first time.
	10:37am northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @10:34 you're never escaping your usps gauntlets, are you? (buena suerte)
	10:37am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "silly games" by "janet kay" sweet voice!
	10:37am The Oscar: ↳ Song: "silly games" by "janet kay" Aw-- this song (and Lovers Rock) always take me straight back to quarantine. What a bright spot in that awful time.
	10:37am Trouble: if you would like to send a message of complaint to the college board, re: the whole insanity with florida rejecting the AP african american history course because they "don't agree with it", please click below. they shouldn't get to pick and choose what they want to teach. collegeboard.tfaforms.net...
	10:38am The Oscar: ICYMI, Small Axe is coming out on Criterion! www.criterion.com...
	10:39am Yetz: ↳ The Oscar @10:38 That looks really good
	10:39am northguineahills: ↳ Trouble @10:37 relevant to my interests, thanks!
	10:39am John L: Re: Angela Davis. She is interviewed in the new PBS Roberta Flack documentary.
	10:41am northguineahills: I mean, i took AP European History in HS in FL, and would have jumped at the chance to take AP African American History if it were offered back then...
	10:42am northguineahills: ↳ John L @10:39 cool, was going to take a gander at that this weekend....
	10:43am Trouble: lovers rock ( the movie ) is still streaming on amazn prme
	10:43am northguineahills: ↳ Trouble @10:43 ooooo, thanks, hadn't seen that in eons...
	10:44am northguineahills: back to class, muchas dankes, trouble!
	10:45am Yetz: ↳ Trouble @10:43 if you watch it on Criterion you're not giving $$ to Jff Bz*s
	10:45am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Trouble @10:37 Done! I have chimed in as a concerned, disgruntled citizen and Mrs. Woods (former teacher) will as well. Truly disgusting, this topic.
	10:45am Yetz: ↳ Yetz @10:45 (unless he bought that too)
	10:46am Zipperhead7: ↳ northguineahills @10:41 As Jamelle Bouie recently noted in the NY Times, DeSantis's ranting about CRT is just a sideshpw to his real agenda -- clashing the safety net. He is a Social Darwinist at heart. And he thinks he was chosen by god
	10:46am TDK60: ↳ Trouble @10:37 Please remind me, what "AP" is re. history. (I keep visualing a supermarket.)
	10:46am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Yetz @10:45 Now THAT would be truly revolting.
	10:48am Trouble: AP = advanced placement. more challenging class for high school students. they can take a test and get college credit if they score high enough
	10:50am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "tu no sabes" by "bio ritmo" This is absurdly good
	10:51am rx scabin: This is what I need.
	10:52am Marie: ↳ Trouble @10:37 Just sent a message. It's outrageous to me that subjects taught in school can be mandated by politicians. Thanks for the link
	10:53am captain beef fart: Not related to anything but I received a shipment of records yesterday and had a "what in the hell?" moment. Apparently this vendor uses old, throw away records to bookend what was ordered for shipping. I opened the package and saw soundtracks for Carol Channing/Hello Dolly and Marlon Brando/Last Tango in Paris. Thought I got the wrong package but actual order was sandwiched between them.
	10:54am garlic lover: This one has a fela Kuti feel to it
	10:55am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "world war IV" by "Antibalas" I first heard this band years ago on a show called "La Blogotech" (can't remember the network). Also learned about early Fleet Foxes on that show.
	10:55am love2laf: ↳ captain beef fart @10:53 That is eight kinds of awesome, what a great idea to reuse vinyl that can't be sold.
	10:55am WoodsOfMaine: ...blogoteque"...duh.
	10:56am 07834: Life, affirmed. Thank you, Trouble!
	10:56am TDK60: ↳ garlic lover @10:54 garlic lover: yes, Antibalas plays in an Afrobeat stylee. I saw 'em a few years ago in Central Park.
	10:56am rx scabin: @captain beef fart those are actually pretty good records.
	10:56am Zipperhead7: ↳ captain beef fart @10:53 I got a CD yesterday from a guy who is selling his collection on ebay. Tucked inside was a pamphlet for Armageddon. Guess he's getting ready for the Rapture
	10:57am Trouble: the most fabulous band bio: antibalas.com...
	10:57am Yetz: ↳ captain beef fart @10:53 Yeah, my copy of "Shufflemania" was sandwiched inside a gatefold of "Music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart". Opening the package - "I didn't order this!"
	10:57am northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:46 we don't mention death$antis' name around here...
	10:58am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "psych city" by "ohio penitentiary 511 jazz ensemble" why the caged bird sings... or plays sax
	10:58am northguineahills: ↳ Song: "world war IV" by "Antibalas" antibalas used to play a lot in nyc in the noughts (saw them a few times)
	11:00am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "psych city" by "ohio penitentiary 511 jazz ensemble" This set keeps getting better and better!
	11:00am Trouble: antibalas is playing may 18 at blue note
	11:02am eileen_tooth: Hi
	11:02am Trouble: more info on the quilt that is at the top of the playlist page www.soulsgrowndeep.org...
	11:04am captain beef fart: ↳ rx scabin @10:56 I'm going to save them for my next white elephant gift exchange
	11:06am MeMo BoingBoing: Good song and good record, that Spritual Jazz comp! It's been my office go-to since discovering thanks to Trouble!
	11:08am Susan & Bryan: wow
	11:11am The Oscar: Ahh-- my wife's a quilter, but just stepped out for an appointment. She would have loved to hear this segment!
	11:11am Trouble: collegeboard.tfaforms.net...
	11:12am Bdogg & Felix: ❤️❤️❤️❤️
	11:12am Crownless Gander: Don't like history? Just don't teach it!
	11:12am Roberto: Funny how the free-speech-at-any-cost crowd seems to have very little interest in free speech.
	11:13am Roberto: ↳ The Oscar @11:11 I read "my wife's a quitter" at first lol
	11:13am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @11:12 Don't like history? Then you're doomed to repeat it.
	11:13am rw: There are a couple Gee's Bend quilts up now in an exhibit at Skirball Museum in the Los Angeles area.
	11:13am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:13 BTW my wife's a knitter not a quitter :P
	11:13am rw: https://www.skirball.org/museum/fabric-nation-american-quilt-stories
	11:14am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @11:13 Or rather the people you oppress are doomed to.
	11:14am AnotherJon: University of Richmond has a little Gee's Bend show up currently where they take the quilts and turn them into prints. pretty cool
	11:15am Jason from Houston: From 2007 after the Gee's Bend show at the MFAH: www.chron.com...
	11:15am Vivian: Florida is such a deeply red state. Gainesville, where UF is located, is considered a liberal island in a very conservative area. Ben Sasse is now the president of UF, so watch as the curriculum changes at the college level.
	11:15am The Oscar: ↳ Roberto @11:13 Ha-- my wife's both a quilter and a knitter, which I suppose makes her a "quitter!"
	11:15am Roberto: ↳ The Oscar @11:15 lolz
	11:16am ?: ↳ Trouble @11:11 Thanks for the link! consider posting it again before you sign off. Excellent show !
	11:17am Jenny: Quilting is an extremely diverse art medium if you are into it like me, you just know. Whether you are a historical quilter or a modern quilter, a beautiful and useful artform, IMHO. @prideandjoyquilting.com Luv the show!
	11:17am WoodsOfMaine: @Yetz: I bought a handful of fragrance samples yesterday from somebody on etsy. Why am I telling you this? The line/brand is called "Sweaty Yeti"
	11:17am Roberto: ↳ Roberto @11:12 To these dipshirts, "free speech" means you're free to either agree with them or shut up.
	11:17am Marie: I think it should be put really plainly that what people like DeSantis are trying to do is keep racism and class differences based on color intact.
	11:18am Yetz: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:17 You paid for that? I'll give it to you for free!
	11:18am northguineahills: ↳ Vivian @11:15 that's very true. Gainesville is a liberal oasis in a sea of red (usually vote D >90% w/in the city limits [i used to live there])
	11:19am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Yetz @11:18 Mrs. Woods says "Eeeeewwwwe!!!"
	11:20am Vivian: ↳ northguineahills @11:18 My husband is an alum. We discussed moving to Gainesville years ago. But the way politics are playing out down there, we took it off the table.
	11:20am northguineahills: (but once you step outside the city limits...oh boy! [complete culture change])
	11:21am Trouble: exactly @marie
	11:21am northguineahills: ↳ Vivian @11:20 aye, i'm an alum as well. culturally, it does really punch above its weight (good diy music/art scene)
	11:23am Vivian: ↳ northguineahills @11:20 Exactly! I remember driving out from Cape San Blas and seeing a billboard that said something like 'Go home liberals and take your money with you'. It was on a lonely road with a few trailers/shot gun houses and a dollar general.
	11:25am Zipperhead7: ↳ northguineahills @11:18 It's not much different once you get about 20 miles north of NYC. I went to a meeting of the county Democrats awhile back. The two of them used to just talk on the phone, but then I moved here.
	11:25am Vivian: ↳ northguineahills @11:21 I agree. Good options for hiking, biking and kayaking. We met folks who ran breweries, restaurants, etc so the diy vibe also won me over.
	11:27am Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "gizli duygular" by "anadol" Me like
	11:29am Stanley: ↳ Song: "gizli duygular" by "anadol" Me likey too
	11:30am Yetz: from Anadol's bandcamp: "You can hear drummers laughing and playing guitars, composers howling, announcements in French and screams in no language, record collectors playing oscillators, and trumpets through spacious echoes. "
	11:31am Yetz: ("Record collectors playing oscillators" is very close to home)
	11:31am Yes: Hello everyone
	11:32am Ike: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:25 (???) Did you mean to type “200”? Isn’t the area 20 mi. N represented by Jamaal Bowman, a progressive?
	11:33am Marie: ↳ Vivian @11:23 I have to say that I remain mystified by why and how those attitudes took root
	11:36am Yetz: ↳ Marie @11:33 I think it behooves us all to try to learn how and why, otherwise there will be no change
	11:36am Trouble: @marie, i imagine it is the proliferation of right wing media that sells swill and lies, in order to anger people
	11:36am rx scabin: Thank you, Trouble for the excellent selecting. I must go to work now.
	11:37am Marie: ↳ Trouble @11:36 Yeah, I could totally see that. They are capitalizing on the whole "in-group/out-grou"--us/them thing in human nature. SAD
	11:39am Zipperhead7: ↳ Ike @11:32 It's Orange County, which is just over the NJ border
	11:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Trouble @11:36 had to laugh when someone on fox news called "antifa" people unappealing when sitting at a table full of uggos. talk about unappealing
	11:41am Zipperhead7: That "I'm Just Like You" CD is killer. A lot sounds like work tapes for "There's a Riot Goin' On."
	11:42am SeanG: both democrats and republicans suck, people have to stop voting
	11:42am βrian: "Vote Hard!"
	11:42am Ike: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:39 I’d say that’s NW, not N. And wasn’t Orange Co. represented by Mondaire Jones until just recently? I know a Republican just barely won in Nov. but that was because Sean Patrick Maloney is a stupid sleazy moron. There are lots of Dems there and they didn’t turn out.
	11:43am Marie: ↳ SeanG @11:42 I totally disagree
	11:44am Handy Haversack: Far-right and alt-right mis-/disinformation is a highly capitalized and deeply researched set of tools and techniques. At heart it is designed to keep the working classes distracted so the last dregs of the planet can be extracted by capital. The damage it does along the way is completely incidental. Its goal is to create enough division to paralyze government and neutralize any chance for not just reform but actual political consciousness. There is no real ideology there, just the pretense of one designed to keep the exploited people maximally divided so that we never are able to find common cause. Any atrocity is justified in this effort. And government is too scared to do anything about it because the ultimate goal of both parties is only to stay in power and power comes from the money donated by the exact same forces of capital. It's not a good situation, to put it mildly. But we have to keep fighting, however we can. Vote, protest, expose -- anything to show that we won't go down without a fight.
	11:45am Zipperhead7: Heading out with the Zipperdawg. Thanx, Trouble! Peace, Love and Soul Power, y'all!
	11:45am Ike: Hey NJ Democrats, are you guys going to get it together this time and try to primary Menendez with an actual candidate? Never forget, once a paper candidate ran against him and got 38% in the Dem primary without even running a campaign or spending any money. Of course he was being investigated by the FBI then… as he is again!
	11:46am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:44 What Handy said.
	11:47am Marie: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:44 Wow, yeah. Campaign financing in the US used to be somewhat better...
	11:47am Yetz: (was about to type up a long thing but he said it better)
	11:48am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:47 You get the next one! Zinn the Mood has to take a turn, too.
	11:49am WoodsOfMaine: I don't have a lot of hope for the political future here. The courts have been seeded with far-right goons and things like extreme gerrymandering will go on unchecked during our lifetimes. And then there's the widespread ignorance (see Handy's comment above).
	11:49am Marie: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:44 I do believe there are many well-intentioned politicians doing the best they can in this deeply flawed system in the US; and capital has somewhat less power in some other countries
	11:50am PaulRobeson1923: And yet, you have not read my Book…
	11:51am PaulRobeson1923: Yet
	11:51am roc: big trouble guy. love the trouble
	11:51am Marie: (Right now I am listening to some horrific smooth jazz as I try to straighten out a insurance issue). I think we need a global healthcare safety net
	11:51am northguineahills: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @11:49 it works both ways. in my volunteering, a lot of right wingers have stopped voting b/c their own propaganda makes them think the voting and political system is flawed, so, what's the use of trying...
	11:52am PaulRobeson1923: Hi Trouble! Been GListening and driving!
	11:53am Trouble: thanks for listening, see you next week
	11:53am northguineahills: ↳ Marie @11:51 yes!
	11:53am βrian: David coming up, if that interests you: wfmu.org...
	11:54am RevErie: Thanks Trouble, you made my workday enjoyable!
	11:54am spodiodi: thanks, Trouble!
	11:54am Phillippe: Thnaks Trouble!
	11:54am Handy Haversack: Trouble, thanks so much! Looking forward to a joyous Sat. night in Jersey City! We'll see you there. Stay Troubled, everyone. We got cause.
	11:55am Marie: ↳ northguineahills @11:53 Yes, I am starting to think about how that could be instantiated. Maybe it could become a cause I pursue
	11:55am Marie: Thanks, Trouble!
	11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for a delightfully Troubled morning!
	11:56am Crownless Gander: Great show, thanks! I was kept from checking in here, but my ears appreciated all the vibes.
	11:57am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "from pink they fell into blue" by "melody's echo ... Artist of the Week on Wake and Bake and played yesterday by Mary Wing on 100 Percent Whatever. They're having a moment!
	11:58am D Rok: Thank you for another beautiful show, Trouble.
	11:59am eileen_tooth: It’s pseu time
