	9:29am Sem: Good morning, Trouble, and hello all, now, today, in the Modern World.
	9:32am The Oscar: The second I heard "cahdinal" I knew this was a New England one.

	9:54am Webhamster Henry: Herring Gulls don't get no respect!
	9:54am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Oh, so THAT's what a Lesser Black-backed Gull sounds like! Dang.
	9:55am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Where the HELL have I been??
	9:55am steveo: so great how the flux of life (having to move studios) can inspire such a creative hour of mixing
	9:55am adrian in mpls: thank you for all the birds this morning - I love it!
	9:55am Fermatseye: Our new pup is very curious about fifth bell (from a safe spot under the couch)!
	9:56am Webhamster Henry: For those who don't know, the first hour or so of Give The Drummer Stream's "Neighbor's Noise" with Jesse Kaminsky is a mix of field recordings (sometimes natural, sometimes urban) wfmu.org...
	10:01am JakeGould: @Trouble: So in the great scheme of things, it’s hilarious that a nominated justice for the Supreme Court would go to a UB40 concert and then get into a bar fight. Anyway… MORE BIRDS!!!
	10:07am zopa: Oh Trouble, I really needed sing to the moon right now. I'm here on the right coast for work and my wife is on the left coast, and I miss her dearly. Thanks for the comfort.
	10:07am Trouble: o no, @jakegould i hadn't heard that slander of a great band: ugh
	10:08am Trouble: glad to be of service@zopa
	10:08am đ¢ ÞäŦ: this is amazing.
	10:10am Brendan: This is good when I feel all wound up.
	10:12am JakeGould: @Trouble: It’s pure comedy honestly: “Kavanaugh Was Questioned by Police After Bar Fight in 1985” www.nytimes.com... Setting: “He said that the altercation happened after a UB40 concert on Sept. 25, when he and a group of people went to Demery’s and were drinking pints. At one point, they were sitting near a man who, they thought, resembled Ali Campbell, the lead singer of UB40.” MagicMoment™: “When the man noticed Mr. Ludington, Mr. Kavanaugh and the others looking at him, he objected and told them to stop it, adding an expletive, Mr. Ludington said. Mr. Kavanaugh cursed, he said, and then ‘threw his beer at the guy.’” YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP!!!
	10:13am northguineahills: Laetitia!
	10:13am JakeGould: The ting is that at that point, Brett had no reason to believe the guy wasn’t the lead singer of UB40. So in the great scheme of things, he—in his mind—attacked the lead singer of UB40 because the guy dared to say “Stop staring at me!”
	10:14am kevlicki: Morning trouble! Doesn’t look like my previous comment went up. We missed you at the Interference benefit last weekend. We had protest song karaoke and a pleasant social event. It occurred to me afterwards that It was missing you!
	10:15am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Supreme Court material, no doubt.
	10:15am Itzall Ablurr: Anecdote, re, Monade: saw them play in Atlanta after the release of "A Few Steps More", they were great but there were MAYBE 100 people in a hall made for 10 X that. Apparently it was an unannounced stop by a band that most people had never heard of. I spoke with her after the show and she was, as you might expect, delightful and extremely appreciative of my (borderline gushing) love for her and her music.
	10:16am northguineahills: @Jake: and it was Chris Dudley who went on to play for the knicks and trailblazers, rare Ivey League NBA material!
	10:17am Sam: Good morning! That album is Monstre Cosmic, not Monstre Comic.
	10:17am Sem: How sweet is this song. Beautiful choice.
	10:18am Trouble: thanks @sam. my typo bad
	10:19am orudy: really great set. How can there be such beauty in the world when it is run by such idiots?
	10:21am Itzall Ablurr: orudy, that is cause and effect at work.
	10:21am melinda: Trouble the playlist says laura mvulva, should it be mvula? Not to pile-on with typo spotting...
	10:22am Brendan: @JakeG As bad as it looks when we delve into the nominees’s past, I’ve made an even more horrific discovery. Given that he would have a lifer appointment, i ran his likeness through automated age progression software to get a rendering of what he will look like: https://g.co/kgs/SYJapM
	10:26am prudy: brendan; i know what my aging process looks like, not sure i want to see that of those I loathe. Orudy is Prudy
	10:28am Roberto: Gettin' bozzy up in here.
	10:29am Itzall Ablurr: Re, the Boz- quite different from his "hits" of the 70s, better in some ways, in my opinion.
	10:29am JakeGould: @Brendan: Ha! I’ve been talking casually around work and with friends about how America seems to have lost touch with the beauty of “snobs versus slobs” comedies and their message of “Slobs win!” Then I realized, people like Kavanaugh watch “Caddyshack” and genuinely think it’s a tale of how Judge Smails was wronged and how Al Czervik is a meddling a-hole.
	10:31am bobdoesthings: goodmorning all
	10:34am tadpoles: Carrol Thompson takes me back to Musical Youth.
	10:36am JakeGould: I want to watch “Revenge of the Nerds” and see if I can parse it as a tale of how jocks are being systematically disempowered by a rag tag gang of nobody “nerds.”
	10:37am northguineahills: has anyone done a Charles aznavour tribute?
	10:38am zopa: Tears straight thru this whole set. A river of 'em...
	10:39am Brendan: @JakeG Low brow movies are great. I think the committee should make Kavanaughty do a test read of Ted Knight’s lines. If the glove fits (so to speak)... ‘I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.’
	10:41am Jim Wilson: WILLIE DUNN!
	10:42am Dave in Vermont: @JG A Way With Words on NPR hypothesized that the Revenge of the Nerds marked the rise of nerds/geeks being chic.
	10:44am Dave in Vermont: the beginning thereof
	10:44am Passaic River Blues: @JakeGould: hahaha Absolutely. To young Bart O'Kavanaugh "Animal House" was a message film about how a fifth column of untermenschs and class traitors besmirched the good name of Daddy Dean Wormer and the Omegas. Which begs the question, in Kavanaugh's mind who is Neidermeyer: PJ, Tobin, or Squi?
	10:46am Granny Spicy Tuna: Right on, Trouble! Tell it like it is!!!
	10:47am famous original sugarwolf: And who always loses in the slobs vs snobs? WOMEN
	10:47am Itzall Ablurr: He was a freaking LAW CLERK. Bush made him a "judge", and NOW look. F#cking ridiculous and FOR LIFE, folks.
	10:48am northguineahills: How hard is it not to assault someone? 2/3rds of my female friends (some, former gfs) have been sexually assaulted, some violently....
	10:48am Itzall Ablurr: Also, so much for my vow of NO POLITICAL posts...
	10:48am Uncle Michael: Come for the political truth. Stay for the Cumbia!
	10:49am JakeGould: Stop calling good movies “low brow.”
	10:49am northguineahills: UM knows what's up... (never heard Native American cumbia, kudos Trouble!)
	10:52am The Oscar: Aw, Pavement makes everything better :)
	10:53am northguineahills: I live in what's basically an island of sanity in a sea of derp, political expressions are necessary down here.
	10:53am Roberto: What Oscar said!
	10:53am Mike Wolf: Thank you Trouble for squaring up to the bullshit that is going on and presenting another set of awesome songs as not an escape, but relating them, and your feelings (/keen observations/truths) as part of the same world somehow. And then the Pavement jam that's most fun to floor the volume to.
	10:54am Roberto: no BIG HAIR!
	10:54am northguineahills: what the Oscar said...and Roberto...
	10:55am mb: WFMU is making me whistle and now i am in trouble. Ya'll gave me away. Everyone is looking at me now.
	10:55am Roberto: Actually it's no BIG! HAIR!
	10:55am Greg R.: In bleak times like these we need WFMU on the airwaves. Thanks Trouble for all you do!
	10:56am Webhamster Henry: ... which is a good cue for the October Marathon!
	10:56am Roberto: In high school that's what we'd call a big ol' spondee right there.
	10:56am northguineahills: Korea! Korea! Korea!
	11:03am prudy: aw...loving and honoring Richard!
	11:06am Dominick: Such a great singer!
	11:07am Brendan: My fave singer among The Band -liked the vulnerability /honesty in his voice.
	11:08am Adrian in London: Been visiting tiny humans so will catch up later. Good day, everyone
	11:11am zopa: Who needs therapy when you have Trouble?
	11:14am prudy: such a lovely cover of my favorite Dylan song
	11:15am prudy: thanks Trouble for an inspired show
	11:15am kevlicki: @MikeWolf I agree, music and art help me make sense of this world and process my thoughts and emotions. Trouble’s show is another way to process these times!
	11:16am Peter in SEA: Nice playlist art! Here is a cool place for art and activism: https://justseeds.org/
	11:17am renbo: HI another week caliope caliope
	11:18am steveo: "John Lennon was unsure whether [that] song was a homage or a warning."
	11:18am thriftstoreleather: I Love the 79.5 record, just sayin' have good one everybody. awesome set Trouble!
	11:20am Chris from DC: This Soft Center really sounds like Kendra Smith to me. Which is good.
	11:20am bobdoesthings: I was thinking this sounds like Jana Hunter to me.. which is good.
	11:22am Mister Dobalina: What a wicked track! Thanks for playing!!
	11:22am Brendan: MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The northeastern Minnesota town of Gilbert is alerting residents that birds may be a bit more “tipsy” than normal this time of year.Police say the reason behind this is the fact that certain berries in the area have fermented earlier than usual due to an early frost. That, plus the fact that many birds have yet to migrate south, means more birds are feeling the effects than in past years. Also, younger birds’ livers cannot handle the fermented berries as well as older birds. Police say there’s no need to call law enforcement about the birds, as they should sober up in a short period of time.
	11:24am Trouble: hello @kevlicki! sorry i didn't even know about the interference archive benefit. but we were out of town for hopefully the very last round of college visits. hopefully it was a smash!
	11:25am Passaic River Blues: @Brendan: juvenile cedar waxwings will absolutely get schlitzed on fermented berries.
	11:30am JakeGould: “Also, younger birds’ livers cannot handle the fermented berries as well as older birds.” Hahahaha! Lightweights,
	11:31am The Oscar: I was too young to see Pavement the first time around, but I did manage to see them twice when they got back together a few years back (once in Boston, and once in Central Park). Both really great shows.
	11:31am Mister Dobalina: Oh darn, this is the second bad haircut story I've heard within the month. My friend got a terrible color job and was out $300 bucks.
	11:33am Rich in Washington: I once got a haircut so bad, then went and visited my wife at work, and she did this comic horror-take - jumped straight into the air upon seeing me. She then immediately sent me across the street to a haircut store, where I met the stylist who would cut my hair for the next five years or so.
	11:33am Brendan: Stop you had me at ‘toilet paper’. I’m in.
	11:34am renbo: Hey Trouble Northeast Public Radio WAMC in Albany calls this "background-fund-raising-between-the-fund-raising" "the lockbox" only to be opened at the beginning of the next fund raiser to be used to shorten it...!!
	11:34am Pepo: what was the bob dylan movie that was mentioned?
	11:35am melinda: @Rich that's hilarious
	11:35am Barney Grubbs: one winter (maybe early spring?) when I lived in NH, I heard what I thought was ice hitting our front window and went out to look. There was a whole flock of wasted waxwings falling out of tree branches, flying into windows, and raising a ruckus. It looked like they were going from yard to yard snarfing up fermented hawthorn berries, etc., and leaving behind some colorful streels of droppings. It was both glorious and alarming.
	11:36am Devin B.: Love this song
	11:37am Trouble: the todd haynes movie i spoke of is called " I'm not there" @pepo
	11:49am mb: pretty Great show today DJ Trouble! Thank-you
	11:49am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning! next week my guest will be illustrator kaye blegvad www.kayeblegvad.com
	11:51am zopa: Thanks for getting me through the morning Trouble.
	11:51am Pepo: Thank you @Trouble
	11:52am JakeGould: Thanks Trouble!
	11:52am Granny Spicy Tuna: Someone get that lady some chocolate!
	11:52am melinda: Thanks for the music T!
	11:53am Webhamster Henry: Kaye Blegvad: Viggo brass knuckles for a premium next year?
	11:55am steveo: thank you Trouble for all the great sounds
	11:56am Brendan: Who is this cat on piano
	11:57am Brendan: Who is that cat on piano? No really I mean what was the name of the cat walking on the piano?
	11:58am blee: super show Trouble. Thank you.
	12:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Trouble. Have a good week!

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.

	10:14am kevlicki: Morning trouble! Doesn’t look like my previous comment went up. We missed you at the Interference benefit last weekend. We had protest song karaoke and a pleasant social event. It occurred to me afterwards that It was missing you!
	10:15am đ¢ ÞäŦ: Supreme Court material, no doubt.
	10:15am Itzall Ablurr: Anecdote, re, Monade: saw them play in Atlanta after the release of "A Few Steps More", they were great but there were MAYBE 100 people in a hall made for 10 X that. Apparently it was an unannounced stop by a band that most people had never heard of. I spoke with her after the show and she was, as you might expect, delightful and extremely appreciative of my (borderline gushing) love for her and her music.
	10:16am northguineahills: @Jake: and it was Chris Dudley who went on to play for the knicks and trailblazers, rare Ivey League NBA material!
	10:17am Sam: Good morning! That album is Monstre Cosmic, not Monstre Comic.
	10:17am Sem: How sweet is this song. Beautiful choice.
	10:18am Trouble: thanks @sam. my typo bad
	10:19am orudy: really great set. How can there be such beauty in the world when it is run by such idiots?
	10:21am Itzall Ablurr: orudy, that is cause and effect at work.
	10:21am melinda: Trouble the playlist says laura mvulva, should it be mvula? Not to pile-on with typo spotting...
	10:22am Brendan: @JakeG As bad as it looks when we delve into the nominees’s past, I’ve made an even more horrific discovery. Given that he would have a lifer appointment, i ran his likeness through automated age progression software to get a rendering of what he will look like: https://g.co/kgs/SYJapM
	10:26am prudy: brendan; i know what my aging process looks like, not sure i want to see that of those I loathe. Orudy is Prudy
	10:28am Roberto: Gettin' bozzy up in here.
	10:29am Itzall Ablurr: Re, the Boz- quite different from his "hits" of the 70s, better in some ways, in my opinion.
	10:29am JakeGould: @Brendan: Ha! I’ve been talking casually around work and with friends about how America seems to have lost touch with the beauty of “snobs versus slobs” comedies and their message of “Slobs win!” Then I realized, people like Kavanaugh watch “Caddyshack” and genuinely think it’s a tale of how Judge Smails was wronged and how Al Czervik is a meddling a-hole.
	10:31am bobdoesthings: goodmorning all
	10:34am tadpoles: Carrol Thompson takes me back to Musical Youth.
	10:36am JakeGould: I want to watch “Revenge of the Nerds” and see if I can parse it as a tale of how jocks are being systematically disempowered by a rag tag gang of nobody “nerds.”
	10:37am northguineahills: has anyone done a Charles aznavour tribute?
	10:38am zopa: Tears straight thru this whole set. A river of 'em...
	10:39am Brendan: @JakeG Low brow movies are great. I think the committee should make Kavanaughty do a test read of Ted Knight’s lines. If the glove fits (so to speak)... ‘I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.’
	10:41am Jim Wilson: WILLIE DUNN!
	10:42am Dave in Vermont: @JG A Way With Words on NPR hypothesized that the Revenge of the Nerds marked the rise of nerds/geeks being chic.
	10:44am Dave in Vermont: the beginning thereof
	10:44am Passaic River Blues: @JakeGould: hahaha Absolutely. To young Bart O'Kavanaugh "Animal House" was a message film about how a fifth column of untermenschs and class traitors besmirched the good name of Daddy Dean Wormer and the Omegas. Which begs the question, in Kavanaugh's mind who is Neidermeyer: PJ, Tobin, or Squi?
	10:46am Granny Spicy Tuna: Right on, Trouble! Tell it like it is!!!
	10:47am famous original sugarwolf: And who always loses in the slobs vs snobs? WOMEN
	10:47am Itzall Ablurr: He was a freaking LAW CLERK. Bush made him a "judge", and NOW look. F#cking ridiculous and FOR LIFE, folks.
	10:48am northguineahills: How hard is it not to assault someone? 2/3rds of my female friends (some, former gfs) have been sexually assaulted, some violently....
	10:48am Itzall Ablurr: Also, so much for my vow of NO POLITICAL posts...
	10:48am Uncle Michael: Come for the political truth. Stay for the Cumbia!
	10:49am JakeGould: Stop calling good movies “low brow.”
	10:49am northguineahills: UM knows what's up... (never heard Native American cumbia, kudos Trouble!)
	10:52am The Oscar: Aw, Pavement makes everything better :)
	10:53am northguineahills: I live in what's basically an island of sanity in a sea of derp, political expressions are necessary down here.
	10:53am Roberto: What Oscar said!
	10:53am Mike Wolf: Thank you Trouble for squaring up to the bullshit that is going on and presenting another set of awesome songs as not an escape, but relating them, and your feelings (/keen observations/truths) as part of the same world somehow. And then the Pavement jam that's most fun to floor the volume to.
	10:54am Roberto: no BIG HAIR!
	10:54am northguineahills: what the Oscar said...and Roberto...
	10:55am mb: WFMU is making me whistle and now i am in trouble. Ya'll gave me away. Everyone is looking at me now.
	10:55am Roberto: Actually it's no BIG! HAIR!
	10:55am Greg R.: In bleak times like these we need WFMU on the airwaves. Thanks Trouble for all you do!
	10:56am Webhamster Henry: ... which is a good cue for the October Marathon!
	10:56am Roberto: In high school that's what we'd call a big ol' spondee right there.
	10:56am northguineahills: Korea! Korea! Korea!
	11:03am prudy: aw...loving and honoring Richard!
	11:06am Dominick: Such a great singer!
	11:07am Brendan: My fave singer among The Band -liked the vulnerability /honesty in his voice.
	11:08am Adrian in London: Been visiting tiny humans so will catch up later. Good day, everyone
	11:11am zopa: Who needs therapy when you have Trouble?
	11:14am prudy: such a lovely cover of my favorite Dylan song
	11:15am prudy: thanks Trouble for an inspired show
	11:15am kevlicki: @MikeWolf I agree, music and art help me make sense of this world and process my thoughts and emotions. Trouble’s show is another way to process these times!
	11:16am Peter in SEA: Nice playlist art! Here is a cool place for art and activism: https://justseeds.org/
	11:17am renbo: HI another week caliope caliope
	11:18am steveo: "John Lennon was unsure whether [that] song was a homage or a warning."
	11:18am thriftstoreleather: I Love the 79.5 record, just sayin' have good one everybody. awesome set Trouble!
	11:20am Chris from DC: This Soft Center really sounds like Kendra Smith to me. Which is good.
	11:20am bobdoesthings: I was thinking this sounds like Jana Hunter to me.. which is good.
	11:22am Mister Dobalina: What a wicked track! Thanks for playing!!
	11:22am Brendan: MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The northeastern Minnesota town of Gilbert is alerting residents that birds may be a bit more “tipsy” than normal this time of year.Police say the reason behind this is the fact that certain berries in the area have fermented earlier than usual due to an early frost. That, plus the fact that many birds have yet to migrate south, means more birds are feeling the effects than in past years. Also, younger birds’ livers cannot handle the fermented berries as well as older birds. Police say there’s no need to call law enforcement about the birds, as they should sober up in a short period of time.
	11:24am Trouble: hello @kevlicki! sorry i didn't even know about the interference archive benefit. but we were out of town for hopefully the very last round of college visits. hopefully it was a smash!
	11:25am Passaic River Blues: @Brendan: juvenile cedar waxwings will absolutely get schlitzed on fermented berries.
	11:30am JakeGould: “Also, younger birds’ livers cannot handle the fermented berries as well as older birds.” Hahahaha! Lightweights,
	11:31am The Oscar: I was too young to see Pavement the first time around, but I did manage to see them twice when they got back together a few years back (once in Boston, and once in Central Park). Both really great shows.
	11:31am Mister Dobalina: Oh darn, this is the second bad haircut story I've heard within the month. My friend got a terrible color job and was out $300 bucks.
	11:33am Rich in Washington: I once got a haircut so bad, then went and visited my wife at work, and she did this comic horror-take - jumped straight into the air upon seeing me. She then immediately sent me across the street to a haircut store, where I met the stylist who would cut my hair for the next five years or so.
	11:33am Brendan: Stop you had me at ‘toilet paper’. I’m in.
	11:34am renbo: Hey Trouble Northeast Public Radio WAMC in Albany calls this "background-fund-raising-between-the-fund-raising" "the lockbox" only to be opened at the beginning of the next fund raiser to be used to shorten it...!!
	11:34am Pepo: what was the bob dylan movie that was mentioned?
	11:35am melinda: @Rich that's hilarious
	11:35am Barney Grubbs: one winter (maybe early spring?) when I lived in NH, I heard what I thought was ice hitting our front window and went out to look. There was a whole flock of wasted waxwings falling out of tree branches, flying into windows, and raising a ruckus. It looked like they were going from yard to yard snarfing up fermented hawthorn berries, etc., and leaving behind some colorful streels of droppings. It was both glorious and alarming.
	11:36am Devin B.: Love this song
	11:37am Trouble: the todd haynes movie i spoke of is called " I'm not there" @pepo
	11:49am mb: pretty Great show today DJ Trouble! Thank-you
	11:49am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this morning! next week my guest will be illustrator kaye blegvad www.kayeblegvad.com

	11:57am Brendan: Who is that cat on piano? No really I mean what was the name of the cat walking on the piano?
