WFMU: This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from August 7, 2008

Listener comments!
	9:05am Dan from Toronto: Trouble! Longtime listener, first time commenter. Today, for a change, I'm working from home, so I can finally listen to your wondrous show live, instead of via podcast. Looking forward to it!
	9:07am trouble: i stayed up way too late finishing anne patchett's truth and beauty, a memoir about her friendship with author lucy greely. Really great read, beautiful and sad!
	9:08am Jim: I skipped terrible work to study for something terrible. Maybe play something fresh and exciting for me!
	9:12am trouble: welcome first time commenters and oldtime alike...
	9:17am gumby: I'm not sure if it was this program, but someone recommended Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabato. I wanted to thank them, it is a great book to read in the summer sun. Filled with cold places and cold people, but beatifully written. As you said Trouble, beautiful and sad. But a good reminder of our frail humanity in an enormous world.
	9:23am Bruce: I just finished What Is the What, by Dave Eggers. Lots of pain and sadness written with beauty and hope.
	9:29am daniel: Remainder by Tom McCarthy. Just recommending, since I was amazed.
	9:32am Jim: I used to love Darren Daulton.
	9:35am gumby: Now I am reading 1491. Which is an update based on the latest archeological and scientific evidence about the people of N & S America before Columbus and what happened afterward. It is amazing in that 2008 science employed in studying what happend 500 + years ago is still just speculation. It is well written though.
	9:35am mp: The Cave by Jose Saramago. Also amazing. I need to pick up Truth and Beauty, i knew Lucy when she was in Provincetown (early 90's), a beautiful and troubled person in a beautiful and troubled place. which reminds me of Karen Dalton somehow. great show.
	9:36am JP: Ah yes, Dutch... I miss him...
	9:43am catpatz: have been reading the ice shirt by william t vollman ---- slowly, but its quite nice - - - distant and striking. and vikings !
	9:46am bill: I'm reading Space is the Place by John F. Szwed. It's the biography of the Sun Ra, born on Saturn and transported to this sorry planet to save our souls.
	9:48am sebastian in santiago: hello trouble and listeners/readers alike. just finished artificial respiration by ricardo piglia, from argentina. i have been forced by it to delve into wittgenstein's tractatus. can you believe it? i can't. never thought i would do something like that.
	9:52am dc pat: reading Red Harvest by Hammett...because I just finished watching Yojimbo then Fist Full of Dollars.
	9:53am bill: I just finished Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius by Ray Monk. Wittgenstein was an interesting dude. I've been on a biography reading spree. I'm waiting for Trouble's autobiography to come out.
	9:55am Bad Ronald: I just finished reading the comments on the playlist.
	9:56am dc pat: good job Bad, now you're all caught up on all there is to know...
	9:56am 55fps: Watched 'jindabyne' which prompts me to re-read Raymond Carver, the master short storier.
	9:58am EVKeef: like your show a lot--a friend of mine asked me the other day where he can find archival recordings of swing/big band music 30s thru 50s that is sung in foreign languages--preferably Japanese/Chinese but he'll take others---have you ever seen a comp like this or know where to look? thanks
	9:59am Jim: Not new in the slightest, but always cool.
	9:59am dc pat: love this Move song.
	10:01am Jim: Who doesn't
	10:02am dc pat: Yeah, I don't blame them--it does sound like the Who.
	10:03am Jim: Oof.
	10:03am daniel: yyyyyyyyeeeaaaa!!!!!! que viva la chicha! a mover el culito!
	10:09am Bad Ronald: Correct Jim nothing moves me like The Move!!!
	10:11am mp: EVKeef, i'd point him towards the Secret Museum of Mankind series on Yazoo, though i don't think they have a specific release on the subject there are great things pertaining, throughout. http://www.yazoorecords.com/ethnic.htm
	10:14am GP: OK Trouble, now play some Matthew Dear "Don and Sherri" to make up for that, in which I used to think he WAS singing about Don Cherry until I read the lyrics...weird...
	10:14am 55fps: Mention Don Cherry here up in Buffalo & one immediately thinks of the wacky hockey persona, who probably has had his fill of bitter beer.
	10:14am trouble: EVkeef, i don't know of anything, but check charlie lewis's playlists. his playlists are still up on line here, and he loved japanese and chinese old stuff.
	10:16am Don Cherry: 55fps, you forgot to mention my plaid jackets and old school tough guy persona. I played without a helmet, you know.
	10:17am 55fps: Sorry Grapes
	10:30am m: just got my marathon swag yesterday and washed dishes to the sweet sounds of trouble's premium -- amazing stuff!
	10:31am daniel: the russian france gall?
	10:35am trouble: m- I am honored that my premium got such a workout!
	10:42am Ken from Hyde Park: Today's show rocks. Good stuff!
	10:43am Laurie: I braved American Apparel for the new Sebastien Tellier. I needed it because the Eurovision contest entry, "Divine," was on it. "Divine" totally should have won, by the way. Booooo. So, I walked away with a wonderful CD and a hoodie dress.
	10:45am Jim: I wouldn't use the word rocks, but it's a good show.
	10:57am gp: MMMMM!, Coralie
	10:58am Parq: I am enjoying the whole show, as I always do, but I gotta say, this Vetiver track is especially pretty.
	11:04am paul: hey andy, i bought a bunch of time stereo cds from you on ebay. wooo.
	11:09am trouble: hey thanks for all the suggestions for summer reading. Not enough hours in the day...
	11:09am Bad Ronald: Funk-a-Licious!!!
	11:09am submariner: please to be playing Big Blood
	11:16am Laurie: I loooooooove Galaxie 500. I love "Tugboat." It is a really great mixtape song.
	11:19am trouble: that song would make a great sounddtrack for my imaginary life where I live on a tugboat
	11:21am Bad Ronald: "Tugboat Trouble"
	11:22am Laurie: Ha ha, you need to meet up with Tugboat Richie. j/k
	11:23am Bad Ronald: I am currently looking at all the tugboats in NY harbor..
	11:23am frenchee: Ah, Spongehead. LOVE the Hendersons & Kirby....
	11:26am Jim: Nice. Keep rocking.
	11:40am Lucky: I love "Uncle Jim"! I haven't heard that song in decades. That was an amazing era for the Sun City Girls live. Now the Idle Race? Wow, go Jeff Lyne!

	11:51am Ike: Andy, what did the janitor request? Heh.
	11:53am andy waltzer: He wanted Stevie Wonder or Michael Jackson.
	11:54am Harvey: Andy, I haven't been listening long enough to have heard your show when you were a regular, but you really are great.
	11:56am frenchee: I raise a glass to 1989--and to Andy. Thanks, Trouble, for handling over the radio reins to AW.
	11:57am andy waltzer: Thanks, Harvey (& while I'm here, thanks Paul!). I love love love doing shows, any chance I get (next time for fill ins will be when I visit in September). While I am here, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WFMU!
	11:57am trouble: harvey, andy has tons of past show that are archived at wfmu.org. go to the bottom of the page and look at 'on the bench'
	11:58am trouble: oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY!
	11:59am andy waltzer: Lucky, I should have brought my cassette of the high school band I was in (Um...Disgruntled Youth). We did a version of "Kill The Klansmen" by Sun City Girls that might be the height in pain inducing youth sounds.
	12:00pm andy waltzer: & happy birthday to everyone who ever has had or will have a birthday (always loved when Hova or Belinda would say that during Greasy Kid Stuff).

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.
