	9:05am Linda Lee: isn't this a fun opener! good morning Trouble!
	9:05am Trouble: are you living the nordic life peter and granny spicy? I guess cuz you are further north you get less light? wow
	9:05am Trouble: merci@diezel tea!
	9:06am Granny Spicy Tuna: Trouble, we get about 6 solid hours of light this time of year. It's dark!
	9:06am thatpatsmith: mmmwaaa
	9:07am Trouble: whoa, that's hard core. 6 hours. i had no idea.
	9:07am Granny Spicy Tuna: @thatpatsmith, i really like the creature in your avatar
	9:08am northguineahills: I miss the change of daylight at 40.7 Lat N, I'm now at 29.9 N. Daylight still changes, just, not as much....
	9:08am Granny Spicy Tuna: 4pm the sun plunges beyond the horizon and it is night here. Of course, i live on a rural island in the woods with no light pollution, so it's very dark here.
	9:09am listener james from westwood: woot—epic track!!
	9:09am Granny Spicy Tuna: Gotta dance! Get up and get DOWN!
	9:09am sphere: WOO!
	9:09am Granny Spicy Tuna: Don't mind the glares from the pets.
	9:10am Webhamster Henry: Trouble's Delight!
	9:11am Webhamster Henry: I can't hear this without also hearing Eric Bogosian's rap from Voices Of America.
	9:11am melinda: Hi friends!
	9:12am Colleen: I NEVER get tired of this!
	9:12am sphere: hello peops
	9:14am Linda Lee: 2 weeks & a day until Solstice. not a moment too soon!
	9:14am Linda Lee: where are you, Granny? sounds lovely, really
	9:15am Colleen: DE LA SOUL!!
	9:15am karlward: Meanie meanie mean
	9:15am sphere: OMG
	9:16am melinda: I never listened to all the lyrics of Rapper's Delight and didn't know there was a Kaopectate reference. Funny.
	9:16am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, i am on beautiful Lopez Island in the midst of the Salish Sea. It is overpoweringly beautiful here.
	9:16am Webhamster Henry: How about some Steinski & Double D?
	9:16am MplsCoco: Wow Trouble!! ❤️
	9:16am Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, everyone, and welcome to a thoroughly Troubled Thursday!
	9:16am melinda: Cool painting!
	9:17am northguineahills: mouthing lyrics, and there are probably less then 30 songs I know all of the lyrics.... (rappers delight), comment didn't go through....
	9:18am Wilson in SO: Head nodding hard and internally rhyming along on NJT
	9:18am Linda Lee: had to look you up, Granny. that looks lovely.
	9:18am βrian: Pale blue skies over slate blue lakes here. Good morning.
	9:18am listener james from westwood: Loud laugh at the name-check of the Peek Freans jingle.
	9:18am Granny Spicy Tuna: northguineahills, i get cranky when my comments don't go through in time. Well, Mercury goes direct today…
	9:18am Earthling: Sounds great Granny. I'm in Iceland - sunrise at 11pm today, but no nice darkness where I live
	9:19am Linda Lee: i'm casting about for a new locale, myself. the catskills may finally be done with me, after 30+ years. :-) it's a bit rough here.
	9:19am Earthling: *11am
	9:19am βrian: @GST: Well, the San Juan Islands are a ways off, after all.
	9:19am Linda Lee: thankfully, yes, Mercury goes direct. this one's been a bit less of a shit show than many, but still rough.
	9:20am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, this is a perfect place to experience the return of the light at Solstice. It is a noticable difference when the daylight starts to increase.
	9:22am Granny Spicy Tuna: @Earthling, you don't get the darkness due to city lights, maybe?
	9:23am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, 30+ years is nothing in mountain time. But i'm sure the Catskills ain't like they used to be in human time.
	9:24am βrian: Arthur Osver: www.worldcat.org...
	9:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: a cat's skills are many. so i've been told. and thoughts of relocation are never far..... but work, always work...
	9:25am Rev. Turnip Druid: also: hello.
	9:26am Granny Spicy Tuna: 30 years ago, this little island community was very different. Internet money has changed all of the islands, as this is the vacation destination for industry zillionaires in the Seattle area.
	9:26am Peter in SEA: Get Down, @grannyspicytuna! Viva Lopez! Well, Trouble ,it is 3 hrs. earlier out here too ;-) We the hardcore listeners out here :-)
	9:26am Linda Lee: Granny, the mountains are basically unchanging, but i am not. not sure about winters with those -30 nights ..
	9:27am Granny Spicy Tuna: -30, ay ay AY!!!
	9:27am Earthling: @Granny Yes I live under electric lights
	9:27am Linda Lee: money changes a culture significantly, for sure. i don't generally think it's for the better. then again, i've been gentrified out of 5 different neighborhoods.
	9:27am Davee: Nice.
	9:29am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, my best friend has an uncanny knack for moving to a place that will be the next target for gentrification, no matter what state she moves to. I hope you find just right place for you.
	9:29am MD: GOOD MORNING WORLD!
	9:29am Linda Lee: i'd imagine the solstice is absolutely wonderful for you. it's nice for us too. we definitely feel the change here. thanks for your good wishes. we'll see! at least i invested this time. :-)
	9:30am steveo: hello! yay it's Trouble time!
	9:31am Granny Spicy Tuna: I am looking forward to this particular Solstice. Been in some deep shadow work, and the light can't return too soon.
	9:31am chas.: My high school art students have been blown away by this set! (And by my awkward rump-shaking.) Thanks!
	9:32am Granny Spicy Tuna: @chas., blessings to the high school teacher that blasts WFMU for the students!
	9:32am melinda: I've accepted that all the places I want to live in are in some phase of gentrification, loosely defined.
	9:33am Trouble: excellent@chas: high school students are my fave audience! i dj to that crowd 3 times a week...
	9:33am northguineahills: Now, that's what I call sitar shredding!
	9:34am Granny Spicy Tuna: melinda, i grew up near Portland, Oregon and could not believe the changes it went through from the 1970s to the Portlandia of now. That was a mindblower, from my perspective.
	9:34am Linda Lee: anywhere within a days' 2 way travel of a mighty metro area will be prime investment territory. .. let alone right in the city.
	9:34am steveo: wow! i love the Newark museum!
	9:35am Linda Lee: i was born in nyc in 1960 & grew up there. lived there for just about 35 years. beautiful times, believe it or not.
	9:36am northguineahills: @Granny Spicy Tuna: I hope that is -30C, but, at that point, Fahrenheit and Celsius almost converge....
	9:36am Sebastian: there you go, clicky-clacky!
	9:36am Linda Lee: Granny, i'm with you on this solstice 100%. shadow work, yes.
	9:36am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, yeah, when i found out that the mill town i grew up in was getting pulled into the Portland gentrification loop, i knew it was Armageddon.
	9:37am jdaFromCologne: hi trouble… i like malcolm
	9:37am thatpatsmith: @granny Thanks, it's a Philip Guston painting
	9:37am melinda: @Granny yes. I grew up in Austin and a similar thing has happened there. @Linda exactly.
	9:37am Linda Lee: as happens when neighborhoods lose their vitality & make for profitable investment..
	9:38am barba yiorgi: love Buffalo Girls. Whatever one thinks of Malcolm McLaren, some of his records were amazing ( and amazing rip-offs, but hey)
	9:38am northguineahills: I was busy dressing for work, dig the Malcolm McLaren...
	9:38am melinda: I liked the MM too.
	9:39am Webhamster Henry: Fans.
	9:39am Granny Spicy Tuna: thatpatsmith, i wasn't familiar with Philip Guston but can tell i need to check out his work.
	9:39am Rev. Turnip Druid: @Granny [9:34] - can confirm, based on stories from mother's side of family [they've been in Eugene OR for a few generations], vs. what I see in Portland when visiting these days...
	9:39am Bklyn Listener: I’m thankful i’m not in chanté’s shoes right now
	9:39am Linda Lee: gentrification always follows depression. & it also always follows cultural integration! i'll claim to this day that every Williamsburg investor owes me a commission.. since my white-girl friend & i made the leap across the bridge in 85, to our friends' horror.
	9:39am Trouble: yeah! world famous supreme team love breaking out!
	9:40am Linda Lee: getting city kids to visit us was like asking them to break the time-space continuum
	9:40am steveo: jj new to me and wow!
	9:40am Granny Spicy Tuna: Rev TD, i have about three generations of family in Eugene, too!
	9:41am barba yiorgi: Ashwin Batish (I think no "I" at the end) used to be managed by a WFMU DJ. and Ashwin is still around I think, sorta
	9:41am chas.: Ha! You just FREAKED THEM OUT, Trouble! At least a few. You know how once an adult starts talking a lot of my darlings just start to hear the Charlie Brown mwa-mwa-mwaaaa sounds. Thanks for the shout out!
	9:42am Bdogg & Felix: great set, Trouble
	9:42am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, ha ha! My best friend moved to Williamsburg in '93. Yes, part of her doomed pattern.
	9:44am Peter in SEA: my fourth and fifth-graders will be listening 11:30-12 , wink, wink!
	9:44am Granny Spicy Tuna: She now livesd in Sacramento, CA so take note, investors and gentrifiers!
	9:44am northguineahills: @LL: NYC: I pretty much block canvassed every block-face in Brooklyn, Manhattan. Queens (Corona to west, and Jamaica, Far Rockaway), and the south and east Bronx, on foot. As a geographer, I love to explore....
	9:44am Rev. Turnip Druid: father's side has been in the DC area for a million years, so that's a whole different kettle of gentrified fish. Just 1988 to present is a mindbending reality clash.
	9:46am steveo: @granny the s.j. islands look interesting -- do you ever try to swim to canada :)
	9:46am sphere: @ RTD - When we moved to Rockville in the early 80s, there was a motocross track on the Pike.
	9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: @GST - I visited a cousin in Seattle one time and we took a day trip on the car ferry out to Vashon Island. Is that near your locale?
	9:48am Granny Spicy Tuna: @steveo, oh, my! Are you near the Atlantic Ocean? Have you ever dipped into the Pacific? Brrrrr!!!!! We gots some COLD currents here.
	9:48am Trouble: @chas: excellent! got to keep those kids on their toes!!!
	9:48am barba yiorgi: holy crap this Lyn Collins cut is gold. you're Killin it, trouble!
	9:49am Granny Spicy Tuna: Ken, i went to kindergarten on Vashon. Best place of my whole childhood. That's south of Seattle, and the San Juans are north, but all in the Salish Sea.
	9:49am Trouble: merci@Bdogg&felix!
	9:49am Rev. Turnip Druid: sphere: some 30 years on, still mourning the loss of the miniature-golf joint on Rockville Pike. Alas, progress...
	9:49am steveo: haha yeah i'm in NYC. dipped my toe in the pacific in S.F. once. it was, as you say, not warm digging the brass on this L.C.
	9:50am sphere: @ RTD - yeah i played video games there all of the time. :(
	9:50am Granny Spicy Tuna: DANCE BREAK!
	9:50am Webhamster Henry: There's Mr Stein!
	9:51am βrian: "What is that infernal screaming?," mom would ask. Heh.
	9:51am steveo: thank goodness there's an unlimited supply of clicky stars!!!
	9:52am Webhamster Henry: wfmu.org...
	9:52am Itzall Ablurr: Git UP!
	9:53am Granny Spicy Tuna: I'm up, i'm UP!!!
	9:54am Tome: Nice !! great mix ! well done bravo! good morning Trouble and trouble makers and lovely peoples ! does the Snoopy Dance to the Coffee Pot * \\/\/\/\\\\/\/\/\\/\/\
	9:55am Trouble: good morning@tome: obrigada
	9:57am chas.: @sphere - I grew up just north of that motocross track! I think it was kind of maintained by the YMCA. An unattainable nirvana to my 10-year-old eyes.
	9:57am zpulpa: hello hello Trouble and friends! good morning from Baltimore, yeeyee yip yip im grooving!
	9:58am zopa: loving the moussa doumbia!!!
	10:00am Mike tp: get on the good foot
	10:01am chas.: A lot of DMV in the house today! Did y'all first get turned onto FMU in NYC and bring it back to Maryland, or was it the Internet tentacles?
	10:01am MD: ASMAZING SOUNDS DANCE AROUND MY HEAD!!! THANKS T!
	10:02am sphere: @ chas - I read about WFMU in CMJ when I was in college and it sounded like Nirvana, so I never forgot about it!
	10:03am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	10:03am Roberto: No jinxies, Trouble, but I know the big date approacheth, so FINGERS DOUBLE TRIPLE CROSSED!
	10:03am sphere: And my home base is Catonsville, so there. :)
	10:05am Itzall Ablurr: How can you NOT dance to JB?!?
	10:05am βrian: "You can't not" is what they meant, of course.
	10:05am Warwick joe: Can’t dance to James Brown? Have they ever seen Jacobs ladder? Woman dances so hard to “poppa don’t take no mess” that she DIES. clearly you can dance to James Brown.
	10:06am PKNY: I didn't hear it in person, but I heard a story where someone overheard someone else saying "this music is too funky!" THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "TOO FUNKY".
	10:06am David in London: The full quote was probably ‘You cannot dance to James Brown... unless wearing 3inch gold stack heels.’
	10:07am Ken From Hyde Park: Billy Jam at 7 - 8 PM Fridays also plays some Steinski.
	10:07am andaloudog: Merde! We saw James in LA, non-stop dance party. Nobody sat down, you couldn't. We were not wearing heels either.
	10:08am Emily: Had to stop my grading for this. Back in one of my incarcerations, I used to “club”. My best friend, who was a great dancer, would leave the dance floor she James brown cane on. For him, JB, was too fast.
	10:08am Granny Spicy Tuna: Maybe the DJ has high standards for dancing?
	10:09am Granny Spicy Tuna: Maybe the DJ was telling the person they were talking to that THEY can't dance??? Not even to JB???
	10:09am Emily: I wasn’t incarcerated, I’ve had many incarnations!!! $@!! Spell check PS love love Sylvia in all of her incarnations
	10:09am zpulpa: @chas, I first got turned onto WFMU in NYC while working for a guy who listened all day everyday, and then a few years later I met WFMU DJ Zoe B. through a close friend and got totally obsessed with her show. Now I listen all day everyday. It just gets better and better. :) Luckily I work doing shipping at a rare book store and can tune in all day.
	10:12am Tome: they're not just your average white band(s) .....
	10:12am Mike tp: dodos got me hooked
	10:13am Kapostrano: Go, Trouble! I can dance for the next two hours if the Northern Soul torch keeps on burnin
	10:14am Granny Spicy Tuna: My introduction to WFMU was when my best friend moved to Williamsburg and was in a goofy old-time string band with Ian Christe… the rest is heavy metal history?!?!?
	10:14am Granny Spicy Tuna: That was in the early 90s.
	10:15am adampsyche: THIS HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC SHOW AND I'M VERY HAPPY
	10:15am Mike tp: rock me rock me for a little while
	10:16am andaloudog: Can't dance to James, don't dig Northern Soul, what's next? Life is confusing today.
	10:18am chas.: BIG love for Catonsville, @sphere! Old vinyl and Indian food... and I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. And Baltimore and DC, friends! Everyone else--come visit! Take Amtrack! Come enjoy the lack of an Amazon HQ!
	10:18am Phillippe Bastille: Hello Trouble and friends from the Baltimore/DC corridor
	10:22am Phillippe Bastille: @chas Catonsville is just around the corner from me. We are just outside of Clarksville. No train, first or last, comes here, alas
	10:25am Rev. Turnip Druid: [this resident of absurdly-gentrified chinatown DC stands and salutes in a northeasterly direction, allowing for wind & gulf-stream, towards catonsville MD]
	10:25am mb: Hello Trouble. The birds were a point of contention during an office meltdown here last week. "And those birds! Every week those birds....." Good morning, errrbody
	10:26am zpulpa: I'm excited to check out the new little record store that just opened this week next to my work, here in Baltimore.
	10:27am Dances with Moomins: Hi Trouble! all upside down here, barely remembered it's Thurs! Independence Day here (Finland ) 101 years indy from Russia! House is in total disarray with ( un intended ) total kitchen renovation and more boring events, BUT- the sounds GOOD today! ( just like every week !) Almost time for the annual gala Ball at the president's palace to begin. Cheers!
	10:27am Phillippe Bastille: @zpula Nice. Where in Baltimore is the record store?
	10:29am Rev. Turnip Druid: I must go to Finland immediately.
	10:30am zpulpa: @Phillippe Bastille, on 25th st. between Charles and Maryland. A little basement level space. looks cool. ill report back sometime during the ravioli hours.
	10:30am JtotheK: great major lance track! enjoying this set, very much. hi trouble, hi everyone.
	10:30am Webhamster Henry: I understand they have some nice Internet speed in Finland.
	10:31am Rev. Turnip Druid: Lapland, specifically. The terrain looks mind-breakingly incredible.
	10:32am βrian: Yes, and they pay their teachers, I hear.
	10:32am Granny Spicy Tuna: Good, er, afternoon? Dances With Moomins! Are you all dancing now?
	10:32am Phillippe Bastille: @zpulpa I know that area well. My first apartment was on North Calvert
	10:34am Trouble: thanks@roberto. trying not to think about it, and that's all i think about. how's that for cray cray?
	10:36am northguineahills: My senior year of college, I read an article about WFMU, and it said they streamed online. Since my work had better internet at the time, I worked late, and plugged in, and then I could hear the tinny stream (it was '98). I haven't stopped listening. Then I moved to NYC in 2 years, and met the people that made it happen....
	10:37am zpulpa: @Phillippe Bastille, Ive been living nearby for coming up on a year. so far so good. I am looking forward to flipping through records on my lunch break now. Nice to meet a nearby listener. Cheers!
	10:38am Roberto: @Trouble, sounds about right.
	10:43am G: Aha.. so this is where The Go Team got that '2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 10' thing from
	10:43am Dances with Moomins: Hi Spicy Tuna! Things get goofy, that's life! Just took a while to figure out that it's thursday ( thoroughly modern ) If you can't dance to Trouble's music today there's something wrong. DJ Trub's shows aren't always dance o matic but today is FINE ( I bet it is probably as dark and cloudy in PNW as in Finland, you know we can use all the funk and soul that we can get! ) Thanx T for the killer dance muxic
	10:44am Roberto: Ha, I immediately thought of The Go! Team there, too.
	10:46am steveo: haha. sounds like an extra bird got into the studio!
	10:46am Undead83: xD
	10:48am Phillippe Bastille: @zpulpa same here
	10:51am Granny Spicy Tuna: Dances with Moomins, yes, the upbeat dancey tunes have indeed warmed up this cold dark day! Thank you, Trouble, you make Thursdays more wonderful.
	10:53am Trouble: happy independence day!! @STU!
	10:53am dorbin: Joyce Carol Oates is in Jersey?
	10:54am Trouble: @dorbin _ she has lived in NJ forevs, teaches at princeton
	10:54am northguineahills: Didn't know STU was from Finland....
	10:56am Cmurtha: Howdy everybody
	10:57am Rev. Turnip Druid: COLE MAN.
	10:57am sphere: thanks @chas, @RTD, and @RTD, Phillippe! btw, Catonsville now has four (!) Korean supermarkets. i still can't believe it.
	10:57am Dances with Moomins: Thanks T, Lots to be happy about here. @Granny Spice, yes afternoon almost evening here already....and YES DJ Trouble is always inspirational. One never knows what surprises she has in store. Aren't we lucky?
	10:58am Granny Spicy Tuna: Wow, this is excellent! I really did not understand how fortunate i was, in my carefree youth, to see Max Roach perform in the early 90s
	10:59am Mike tp: Max......
	11:00am northguineahills: βrian: Hopefullly, the most legislation the WS GOP passed will go to court....
	11:01am βrian: I hope so. The WI Supreme Court is largely bought and paid for, however.
	11:01am Dances with Moomins: Hi North Guineahills, yes I used to sign in as Turku Stu. You're the geographer if memory serves. This life is short this world is small and Trouble ( no trouble is better name for her!) reminds us to keep our brains tuned into the beauty that surrounds us. And now Lady Day wow CHEERS NGH hope all is well in FLA.
	11:02am Webhamster Henry: The Lady Day cha-cha version.
	11:04am Itzall Ablurr: Glad to know this show will be archived- work has ripped me from my desk and I've missed nearly the whole morning with Trouble! Boo. Hoo.
	11:07am AndrewC.: If you want a really bad Bill Nighy movie to put you off him - try "I, Frankenstein".
	11:07am Mick: Mountain Movers! isn't it?
	11:07am Granny Spicy Tuna: I know a woman who worked with Billie H in her later career, and would stand behind the curtain feeding her the next lyrics she needed to sing…
	11:08am northguineahills: @Dances: That's right, you're in Turku (FN)!. Everything is fine in my corner of FL, but statewide, politics are the perkele
	11:08am northguineahills: (One of the few Finnish words I know).
	11:08am Dave in Vermont: I am also a fan of Bill Nighy and thought Ordeal by Innocence was very thin. I would Watch Love Actually if forced to choose between the two. At least there is laughter and heart-warmth.
	11:09am Linda Lee: i cut out a bit abruptly earlier. apologies. ngh, at a time in my life that canvassing job would have thrilled me. when i lived in ny i did nothing but walk. liked to walk over the brooklyn bridge to & from work in the warmer months.
	11:11am Linda Lee: Granny, i missed your friend in Williamsburg. i left in 88 ~ after my friend & i neglected to buy our grand st walkup for $10K :-D
	11:12am northguineahills: @LL: I wasn't literally canvassing, but I set a goal to walk every blockface in the aforementioned areas. I still regret not finishing Queens or the Bronx (does SI count as regret?)
	11:12am Linda Lee: no one we knew wanted to invest!
	11:12am northguineahills: Cranes!
	11:13am Linda Lee: ah, got it. even better: totally voluntary.
	11:13am Granny Spicy Tuna: LL, aw, wow!
	11:14am northguineahills: Is this the Cranes' Sartre album?
	11:14am Linda Lee: life is funny. that's all. :-D
	11:14am Granny Spicy Tuna: Well, my friend and i are a few years behind you, chronologically, so we were in high school while you were in Wmsbrg.
	11:17am northguineahills: A fave Kiwi guitarist, Roy Montgomery!
	11:17am Dances with Moomins: Perkele is a good word....my daughter, born here, was surprised when I said it refers to 'the Devil' . It is used so commonly that it has no real definition other than 'damn' but indeed means ' the devil' . Yeah, glad that US politics is ' at a distance ' for me these days. Life is funny . I started to listen to FMU back in the 1960's when it was a college radio station ( with weak signal ) transistor radios in north Jersey ! ah the good old days
	11:20am pcnyc: This Pipeline made my day...thanks, Trouble!
	11:20am northguineahills: @Dances: I know it literally means 'devil', but from the Finns I know, it pretty much used interchangeably w/ fuck/shit as well as damn.
	11:21am tim from champaign: Hello everyone! I really dig today's art, Trouble. Roy Montgomery never fails.
	11:22am Linda Lee: Granny, your friend struck out young! good for her!
	11:22am tim from champaign: Perfect follow up, Trouble!
	11:22am sphere: Third.
	11:23am Linda Lee: where do i get the idea that someone named Granny is older than i am? Heaven knows :-D
	11:23am Linda Lee: i must be old as Moses!
	11:24am Itzall Ablurr: Love this Big Star demo- he is bordering on Daniel Johnston vocal stretchiness.
	11:27am Phillippe Bastille: @LL I managed to talk my 88 year old mom into listening to Stashu a couple times. At 88, she may be the oldest listener
	11:33am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, hee hee! my friends have been calling me Granny since i was in my early 30s. I wore thrift store dresses and baked cookies and was always knitting scarves for everyone, so…
	11:34am Granny Spicy Tuna: Oops, i mean early 20s! I think i was about 24 when i was dubbed Granny.
	11:35am Phillippe Bastille: @granny and the spicy tuna part was...?
	11:38am βrian: And did you wear those wire-rim "granny glasses?"
	11:38am Granny Spicy Tuna: Phillippe Bastille, i have many nicknames, and Spicy Tuna is for all things related to radio. My karaoke handle is Princess Fancypants. My actual name on my birth certificate was Jaina Bee.
	11:39am Phillippe Bastille: Aha. Multiple AKAs. Nice
	11:40am Granny Spicy Tuna: βrian, i usually wore disguise glasses or new wave wraparounds. But sometimes i'd go full-on Granny drag, with shawl and wig. I did "back-up knitting" for a band in San Francisco.
	11:41am Ken From Hyde Park: @Phillippe - Older than my mom, who was 81 this summer when I tuned in the polka for her.
	11:41am Granny Spicy Tuna: And Spicy Tuna was inspired by my love for sushi, which was the popular food trend among my friends in the gay 90s.
	11:42am Granny Spicy Tuna: Before that, i was Chicken Tender.

	11:54am Granny Spicy Tuna: Looks like some young lady in the UK has taken on Princess Fancypants these days…
	11:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: Well done Granny. Best I can say is doing the mail-order reverend credentials thing back in the 1980s from some dodgy outfit based in Chula Vista CA, so in theory my title is the realie dealie. HEH.

This Is The Modern World with Trouble: Playlist from December 6, 2018

View Trouble's profile

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

	9:06am Granny Spicy Tuna: Trouble, we get about 6 solid hours of light this time of year. It's dark!
	9:06am thatpatsmith: mmmwaaa
	9:07am Trouble: whoa, that's hard core. 6 hours. i had no idea.
	9:07am Granny Spicy Tuna: @thatpatsmith, i really like the creature in your avatar
	9:08am northguineahills: I miss the change of daylight at 40.7 Lat N, I'm now at 29.9 N. Daylight still changes, just, not as much....
	9:08am Granny Spicy Tuna: 4pm the sun plunges beyond the horizon and it is night here. Of course, i live on a rural island in the woods with no light pollution, so it's very dark here.
	9:09am listener james from westwood: woot—epic track!!
	9:09am Granny Spicy Tuna: Gotta dance! Get up and get DOWN!
	9:09am sphere: WOO!
	9:09am Granny Spicy Tuna: Don't mind the glares from the pets.
	9:10am Webhamster Henry: Trouble's Delight!
	9:11am Webhamster Henry: I can't hear this without also hearing Eric Bogosian's rap from Voices Of America.
	9:11am melinda: Hi friends!
	9:12am Colleen: I NEVER get tired of this!
	9:12am sphere: hello peops
	9:14am Linda Lee: 2 weeks & a day until Solstice. not a moment too soon!
	9:14am Linda Lee: where are you, Granny? sounds lovely, really
	9:15am Colleen: DE LA SOUL!!
	9:15am karlward: Meanie meanie mean
	9:15am sphere: OMG
	9:16am melinda: I never listened to all the lyrics of Rapper's Delight and didn't know there was a Kaopectate reference. Funny.
	9:16am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, i am on beautiful Lopez Island in the midst of the Salish Sea. It is overpoweringly beautiful here.
	9:16am Webhamster Henry: How about some Steinski & Double D?
	9:16am MplsCoco: Wow Trouble!! ❤️
	9:16am Ken From Hyde Park: Hello, everyone, and welcome to a thoroughly Troubled Thursday!
	9:16am melinda: Cool painting!
	9:17am northguineahills: mouthing lyrics, and there are probably less then 30 songs I know all of the lyrics.... (rappers delight), comment didn't go through....
	9:18am Wilson in SO: Head nodding hard and internally rhyming along on NJT
	9:18am Linda Lee: had to look you up, Granny. that looks lovely.
	9:18am βrian: Pale blue skies over slate blue lakes here. Good morning.
	9:18am listener james from westwood: Loud laugh at the name-check of the Peek Freans jingle.
	9:18am Granny Spicy Tuna: northguineahills, i get cranky when my comments don't go through in time. Well, Mercury goes direct today…
	9:18am Earthling: Sounds great Granny. I'm in Iceland - sunrise at 11pm today, but no nice darkness where I live
	9:19am Linda Lee: i'm casting about for a new locale, myself. the catskills may finally be done with me, after 30+ years. :-) it's a bit rough here.
	9:19am Earthling: *11am
	9:19am βrian: @GST: Well, the San Juan Islands are a ways off, after all.
	9:19am Linda Lee: thankfully, yes, Mercury goes direct. this one's been a bit less of a shit show than many, but still rough.
	9:20am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, this is a perfect place to experience the return of the light at Solstice. It is a noticable difference when the daylight starts to increase.
	9:22am Granny Spicy Tuna: @Earthling, you don't get the darkness due to city lights, maybe?
	9:23am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, 30+ years is nothing in mountain time. But i'm sure the Catskills ain't like they used to be in human time.
	9:24am βrian: Arthur Osver: www.worldcat.org...
	9:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: a cat's skills are many. so i've been told. and thoughts of relocation are never far..... but work, always work...
	9:25am Rev. Turnip Druid: also: hello.
	9:26am Granny Spicy Tuna: 30 years ago, this little island community was very different. Internet money has changed all of the islands, as this is the vacation destination for industry zillionaires in the Seattle area.
	9:26am Peter in SEA: Get Down, @grannyspicytuna! Viva Lopez! Well, Trouble ,it is 3 hrs. earlier out here too ;-) We the hardcore listeners out here :-)
	9:26am Linda Lee: Granny, the mountains are basically unchanging, but i am not. not sure about winters with those -30 nights ..
	9:27am Granny Spicy Tuna: -30, ay ay AY!!!
	9:27am Earthling: @Granny Yes I live under electric lights
	9:27am Linda Lee: money changes a culture significantly, for sure. i don't generally think it's for the better. then again, i've been gentrified out of 5 different neighborhoods.
	9:27am Davee: Nice.
	9:29am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, my best friend has an uncanny knack for moving to a place that will be the next target for gentrification, no matter what state she moves to. I hope you find just right place for you.
	9:29am MD: GOOD MORNING WORLD!
	9:29am Linda Lee: i'd imagine the solstice is absolutely wonderful for you. it's nice for us too. we definitely feel the change here. thanks for your good wishes. we'll see! at least i invested this time. :-)
	9:30am steveo: hello! yay it's Trouble time!
	9:31am Granny Spicy Tuna: I am looking forward to this particular Solstice. Been in some deep shadow work, and the light can't return too soon.
	9:31am chas.: My high school art students have been blown away by this set! (And by my awkward rump-shaking.) Thanks!
	9:32am Granny Spicy Tuna: @chas., blessings to the high school teacher that blasts WFMU for the students!
	9:32am melinda: I've accepted that all the places I want to live in are in some phase of gentrification, loosely defined.
	9:33am Trouble: excellent@chas: high school students are my fave audience! i dj to that crowd 3 times a week...
	9:33am northguineahills: Now, that's what I call sitar shredding!
	9:34am Granny Spicy Tuna: melinda, i grew up near Portland, Oregon and could not believe the changes it went through from the 1970s to the Portlandia of now. That was a mindblower, from my perspective.
	9:34am Linda Lee: anywhere within a days' 2 way travel of a mighty metro area will be prime investment territory. .. let alone right in the city.
	9:34am steveo: wow! i love the Newark museum!
	9:35am Linda Lee: i was born in nyc in 1960 & grew up there. lived there for just about 35 years. beautiful times, believe it or not.
	9:36am northguineahills: @Granny Spicy Tuna: I hope that is -30C, but, at that point, Fahrenheit and Celsius almost converge....
	9:36am Sebastian: there you go, clicky-clacky!
	9:36am Linda Lee: Granny, i'm with you on this solstice 100%. shadow work, yes.
	9:36am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, yeah, when i found out that the mill town i grew up in was getting pulled into the Portland gentrification loop, i knew it was Armageddon.
	9:37am jdaFromCologne: hi trouble… i like malcolm
	9:37am thatpatsmith: @granny Thanks, it's a Philip Guston painting
	9:37am melinda: @Granny yes. I grew up in Austin and a similar thing has happened there. @Linda exactly.
	9:37am Linda Lee: as happens when neighborhoods lose their vitality & make for profitable investment..
	9:38am barba yiorgi: love Buffalo Girls. Whatever one thinks of Malcolm McLaren, some of his records were amazing ( and amazing rip-offs, but hey)
	9:38am northguineahills: I was busy dressing for work, dig the Malcolm McLaren...
	9:38am melinda: I liked the MM too.
	9:39am Webhamster Henry: Fans.
	9:39am Granny Spicy Tuna: thatpatsmith, i wasn't familiar with Philip Guston but can tell i need to check out his work.
	9:39am Rev. Turnip Druid: @Granny [9:34] - can confirm, based on stories from mother's side of family [they've been in Eugene OR for a few generations], vs. what I see in Portland when visiting these days...
	9:39am Bklyn Listener: I’m thankful i’m not in chanté’s shoes right now
	9:39am Linda Lee: gentrification always follows depression. & it also always follows cultural integration! i'll claim to this day that every Williamsburg investor owes me a commission.. since my white-girl friend & i made the leap across the bridge in 85, to our friends' horror.
	9:39am Trouble: yeah! world famous supreme team love breaking out!
	9:40am Linda Lee: getting city kids to visit us was like asking them to break the time-space continuum
	9:40am steveo: jj new to me and wow!
	9:40am Granny Spicy Tuna: Rev TD, i have about three generations of family in Eugene, too!
	9:41am barba yiorgi: Ashwin Batish (I think no "I" at the end) used to be managed by a WFMU DJ. and Ashwin is still around I think, sorta
	9:41am chas.: Ha! You just FREAKED THEM OUT, Trouble! At least a few. You know how once an adult starts talking a lot of my darlings just start to hear the Charlie Brown mwa-mwa-mwaaaa sounds. Thanks for the shout out!
	9:42am Bdogg & Felix: great set, Trouble
	9:42am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, ha ha! My best friend moved to Williamsburg in '93. Yes, part of her doomed pattern.
	9:44am Peter in SEA: my fourth and fifth-graders will be listening 11:30-12 , wink, wink!
	9:44am Granny Spicy Tuna: She now livesd in Sacramento, CA so take note, investors and gentrifiers!
	9:44am northguineahills: @LL: NYC: I pretty much block canvassed every block-face in Brooklyn, Manhattan. Queens (Corona to west, and Jamaica, Far Rockaway), and the south and east Bronx, on foot. As a geographer, I love to explore....
	9:44am Rev. Turnip Druid: father's side has been in the DC area for a million years, so that's a whole different kettle of gentrified fish. Just 1988 to present is a mindbending reality clash.
	9:46am steveo: @granny the s.j. islands look interesting -- do you ever try to swim to canada :)
	9:46am sphere: @ RTD - When we moved to Rockville in the early 80s, there was a motocross track on the Pike.
	9:47am Ken From Hyde Park: @GST - I visited a cousin in Seattle one time and we took a day trip on the car ferry out to Vashon Island. Is that near your locale?
	9:48am Granny Spicy Tuna: @steveo, oh, my! Are you near the Atlantic Ocean? Have you ever dipped into the Pacific? Brrrrr!!!!! We gots some COLD currents here.
	9:48am Trouble: @chas: excellent! got to keep those kids on their toes!!!
	9:48am barba yiorgi: holy crap this Lyn Collins cut is gold. you're Killin it, trouble!
	9:49am Granny Spicy Tuna: Ken, i went to kindergarten on Vashon. Best place of my whole childhood. That's south of Seattle, and the San Juans are north, but all in the Salish Sea.
	9:49am Trouble: merci@Bdogg&felix!
	9:49am Rev. Turnip Druid: sphere: some 30 years on, still mourning the loss of the miniature-golf joint on Rockville Pike. Alas, progress...
	9:49am steveo: haha yeah i'm in NYC. dipped my toe in the pacific in S.F. once. it was, as you say, not warm digging the brass on this L.C.
	9:50am sphere: @ RTD - yeah i played video games there all of the time. :(
	9:50am Granny Spicy Tuna: DANCE BREAK!
	9:50am Webhamster Henry: There's Mr Stein!
	9:51am βrian: "What is that infernal screaming?," mom would ask. Heh.
	9:51am steveo: thank goodness there's an unlimited supply of clicky stars!!!
	9:52am Webhamster Henry: wfmu.org...
	9:52am Itzall Ablurr: Git UP!
	9:53am Granny Spicy Tuna: I'm up, i'm UP!!!
	9:54am Tome: Nice !! great mix ! well done bravo! good morning Trouble and trouble makers and lovely peoples ! does the Snoopy Dance to the Coffee Pot * \\/\/\/\\\\/\/\/\\/\/\
	9:55am Trouble: good morning@tome: obrigada
	9:57am chas.: @sphere - I grew up just north of that motocross track! I think it was kind of maintained by the YMCA. An unattainable nirvana to my 10-year-old eyes.
	9:57am zpulpa: hello hello Trouble and friends! good morning from Baltimore, yeeyee yip yip im grooving!
	9:58am zopa: loving the moussa doumbia!!!
	10:00am Mike tp: get on the good foot
	10:01am chas.: A lot of DMV in the house today! Did y'all first get turned onto FMU in NYC and bring it back to Maryland, or was it the Internet tentacles?
	10:01am MD: ASMAZING SOUNDS DANCE AROUND MY HEAD!!! THANKS T!
	10:02am sphere: @ chas - I read about WFMU in CMJ when I was in college and it sounded like Nirvana, so I never forgot about it!
	10:03am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Trouble & all!
	10:03am Roberto: No jinxies, Trouble, but I know the big date approacheth, so FINGERS DOUBLE TRIPLE CROSSED!
	10:03am sphere: And my home base is Catonsville, so there. :)
	10:05am Itzall Ablurr: How can you NOT dance to JB?!?
	10:05am βrian: "You can't not" is what they meant, of course.
	10:05am Warwick joe: Can’t dance to James Brown? Have they ever seen Jacobs ladder? Woman dances so hard to “poppa don’t take no mess” that she DIES. clearly you can dance to James Brown.
	10:06am PKNY: I didn't hear it in person, but I heard a story where someone overheard someone else saying "this music is too funky!" THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "TOO FUNKY".
	10:06am David in London: The full quote was probably ‘You cannot dance to James Brown... unless wearing 3inch gold stack heels.’
	10:07am Ken From Hyde Park: Billy Jam at 7 - 8 PM Fridays also plays some Steinski.
	10:07am andaloudog: Merde! We saw James in LA, non-stop dance party. Nobody sat down, you couldn't. We were not wearing heels either.
	10:08am Emily: Had to stop my grading for this. Back in one of my incarcerations, I used to “club”. My best friend, who was a great dancer, would leave the dance floor she James brown cane on. For him, JB, was too fast.
	10:08am Granny Spicy Tuna: Maybe the DJ has high standards for dancing?
	10:09am Granny Spicy Tuna: Maybe the DJ was telling the person they were talking to that THEY can't dance??? Not even to JB???
	10:09am Emily: I wasn’t incarcerated, I’ve had many incarnations!!! $@!! Spell check PS love love Sylvia in all of her incarnations
	10:09am zpulpa: @chas, I first got turned onto WFMU in NYC while working for a guy who listened all day everyday, and then a few years later I met WFMU DJ Zoe B. through a close friend and got totally obsessed with her show. Now I listen all day everyday. It just gets better and better. :) Luckily I work doing shipping at a rare book store and can tune in all day.
	10:12am Tome: they're not just your average white band(s) .....
	10:12am Mike tp: dodos got me hooked
	10:13am Kapostrano: Go, Trouble! I can dance for the next two hours if the Northern Soul torch keeps on burnin
	10:14am Granny Spicy Tuna: My introduction to WFMU was when my best friend moved to Williamsburg and was in a goofy old-time string band with Ian Christe… the rest is heavy metal history?!?!?
	10:14am Granny Spicy Tuna: That was in the early 90s.
	10:15am adampsyche: THIS HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC SHOW AND I'M VERY HAPPY
	10:15am Mike tp: rock me rock me for a little while
	10:16am andaloudog: Can't dance to James, don't dig Northern Soul, what's next? Life is confusing today.
	10:18am chas.: BIG love for Catonsville, @sphere! Old vinyl and Indian food... and I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. And Baltimore and DC, friends! Everyone else--come visit! Take Amtrack! Come enjoy the lack of an Amazon HQ!
	10:18am Phillippe Bastille: Hello Trouble and friends from the Baltimore/DC corridor
	10:22am Phillippe Bastille: @chas Catonsville is just around the corner from me. We are just outside of Clarksville. No train, first or last, comes here, alas
	10:25am Rev. Turnip Druid: [this resident of absurdly-gentrified chinatown DC stands and salutes in a northeasterly direction, allowing for wind & gulf-stream, towards catonsville MD]
	10:25am mb: Hello Trouble. The birds were a point of contention during an office meltdown here last week. "And those birds! Every week those birds....." Good morning, errrbody
	10:26am zpulpa: I'm excited to check out the new little record store that just opened this week next to my work, here in Baltimore.
	10:27am Dances with Moomins: Hi Trouble! all upside down here, barely remembered it's Thurs! Independence Day here (Finland ) 101 years indy from Russia! House is in total disarray with ( un intended ) total kitchen renovation and more boring events, BUT- the sounds GOOD today! ( just like every week !) Almost time for the annual gala Ball at the president's palace to begin. Cheers!
	10:27am Phillippe Bastille: @zpula Nice. Where in Baltimore is the record store?
	10:29am Rev. Turnip Druid: I must go to Finland immediately.
	10:30am zpulpa: @Phillippe Bastille, on 25th st. between Charles and Maryland. A little basement level space. looks cool. ill report back sometime during the ravioli hours.
	10:30am JtotheK: great major lance track! enjoying this set, very much. hi trouble, hi everyone.
	10:30am Webhamster Henry: I understand they have some nice Internet speed in Finland.
	10:31am Rev. Turnip Druid: Lapland, specifically. The terrain looks mind-breakingly incredible.
	10:32am βrian: Yes, and they pay their teachers, I hear.
	10:32am Granny Spicy Tuna: Good, er, afternoon? Dances With Moomins! Are you all dancing now?
	10:32am Phillippe Bastille: @zpulpa I know that area well. My first apartment was on North Calvert
	10:34am Trouble: thanks@roberto. trying not to think about it, and that's all i think about. how's that for cray cray?
	10:36am northguineahills: My senior year of college, I read an article about WFMU, and it said they streamed online. Since my work had better internet at the time, I worked late, and plugged in, and then I could hear the tinny stream (it was '98). I haven't stopped listening. Then I moved to NYC in 2 years, and met the people that made it happen....
	10:37am zpulpa: @Phillippe Bastille, Ive been living nearby for coming up on a year. so far so good. I am looking forward to flipping through records on my lunch break now. Nice to meet a nearby listener. Cheers!
	10:38am Roberto: @Trouble, sounds about right.
	10:43am G: Aha.. so this is where The Go Team got that '2 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 10' thing from
	10:43am Dances with Moomins: Hi Spicy Tuna! Things get goofy, that's life! Just took a while to figure out that it's thursday ( thoroughly modern ) If you can't dance to Trouble's music today there's something wrong. DJ Trub's shows aren't always dance o matic but today is FINE ( I bet it is probably as dark and cloudy in PNW as in Finland, you know we can use all the funk and soul that we can get! ) Thanx T for the killer dance muxic
	10:44am Roberto: Ha, I immediately thought of The Go! Team there, too.
	10:46am steveo: haha. sounds like an extra bird got into the studio!
	10:46am Undead83: xD
	10:48am Phillippe Bastille: @zpulpa same here
	10:51am Granny Spicy Tuna: Dances with Moomins, yes, the upbeat dancey tunes have indeed warmed up this cold dark day! Thank you, Trouble, you make Thursdays more wonderful.
	10:53am Trouble: happy independence day!! @STU!
	10:53am dorbin: Joyce Carol Oates is in Jersey?
	10:54am Trouble: @dorbin _ she has lived in NJ forevs, teaches at princeton
	10:54am northguineahills: Didn't know STU was from Finland....
	10:56am Cmurtha: Howdy everybody
	10:57am Rev. Turnip Druid: COLE MAN.
	10:57am sphere: thanks @chas, @RTD, and @RTD, Phillippe! btw, Catonsville now has four (!) Korean supermarkets. i still can't believe it.
	10:57am Dances with Moomins: Thanks T, Lots to be happy about here. @Granny Spice, yes afternoon almost evening here already....and YES DJ Trouble is always inspirational. One never knows what surprises she has in store. Aren't we lucky?
	10:58am Granny Spicy Tuna: Wow, this is excellent! I really did not understand how fortunate i was, in my carefree youth, to see Max Roach perform in the early 90s
	10:59am Mike tp: Max......
	11:00am northguineahills: βrian: Hopefullly, the most legislation the WS GOP passed will go to court....
	11:01am βrian: I hope so. The WI Supreme Court is largely bought and paid for, however.
	11:01am Dances with Moomins: Hi North Guineahills, yes I used to sign in as Turku Stu. You're the geographer if memory serves. This life is short this world is small and Trouble ( no trouble is better name for her!) reminds us to keep our brains tuned into the beauty that surrounds us. And now Lady Day wow CHEERS NGH hope all is well in FLA.
	11:02am Webhamster Henry: The Lady Day cha-cha version.
	11:04am Itzall Ablurr: Glad to know this show will be archived- work has ripped me from my desk and I've missed nearly the whole morning with Trouble! Boo. Hoo.
	11:07am AndrewC.: If you want a really bad Bill Nighy movie to put you off him - try "I, Frankenstein".
	11:07am Mick: Mountain Movers! isn't it?
	11:07am Granny Spicy Tuna: I know a woman who worked with Billie H in her later career, and would stand behind the curtain feeding her the next lyrics she needed to sing…
	11:08am northguineahills: @Dances: That's right, you're in Turku (FN)!. Everything is fine in my corner of FL, but statewide, politics are the perkele
	11:08am northguineahills: (One of the few Finnish words I know).
	11:08am Dave in Vermont: I am also a fan of Bill Nighy and thought Ordeal by Innocence was very thin. I would Watch Love Actually if forced to choose between the two. At least there is laughter and heart-warmth.
	11:09am Linda Lee: i cut out a bit abruptly earlier. apologies. ngh, at a time in my life that canvassing job would have thrilled me. when i lived in ny i did nothing but walk. liked to walk over the brooklyn bridge to & from work in the warmer months.
	11:11am Linda Lee: Granny, i missed your friend in Williamsburg. i left in 88 ~ after my friend & i neglected to buy our grand st walkup for $10K :-D
	11:12am northguineahills: @LL: I wasn't literally canvassing, but I set a goal to walk every blockface in the aforementioned areas. I still regret not finishing Queens or the Bronx (does SI count as regret?)
	11:12am Linda Lee: no one we knew wanted to invest!
	11:12am northguineahills: Cranes!
	11:13am Linda Lee: ah, got it. even better: totally voluntary.
	11:13am Granny Spicy Tuna: LL, aw, wow!
	11:14am northguineahills: Is this the Cranes' Sartre album?
	11:14am Linda Lee: life is funny. that's all. :-D
	11:14am Granny Spicy Tuna: Well, my friend and i are a few years behind you, chronologically, so we were in high school while you were in Wmsbrg.
	11:17am northguineahills: A fave Kiwi guitarist, Roy Montgomery!
	11:17am Dances with Moomins: Perkele is a good word....my daughter, born here, was surprised when I said it refers to 'the Devil' . It is used so commonly that it has no real definition other than 'damn' but indeed means ' the devil' . Yeah, glad that US politics is ' at a distance ' for me these days. Life is funny . I started to listen to FMU back in the 1960's when it was a college radio station ( with weak signal ) transistor radios in north Jersey ! ah the good old days
	11:20am pcnyc: This Pipeline made my day...thanks, Trouble!
	11:20am northguineahills: @Dances: I know it literally means 'devil', but from the Finns I know, it pretty much used interchangeably w/ fuck/shit as well as damn.
	11:21am tim from champaign: Hello everyone! I really dig today's art, Trouble. Roy Montgomery never fails.
	11:22am Linda Lee: Granny, your friend struck out young! good for her!
	11:22am tim from champaign: Perfect follow up, Trouble!
	11:22am sphere: Third.
	11:23am Linda Lee: where do i get the idea that someone named Granny is older than i am? Heaven knows :-D
	11:23am Linda Lee: i must be old as Moses!
	11:24am Itzall Ablurr: Love this Big Star demo- he is bordering on Daniel Johnston vocal stretchiness.
	11:27am Phillippe Bastille: @LL I managed to talk my 88 year old mom into listening to Stashu a couple times. At 88, she may be the oldest listener
	11:33am Granny Spicy Tuna: Linda Lee, hee hee! my friends have been calling me Granny since i was in my early 30s. I wore thrift store dresses and baked cookies and was always knitting scarves for everyone, so…
	11:34am Granny Spicy Tuna: Oops, i mean early 20s! I think i was about 24 when i was dubbed Granny.
	11:35am Phillippe Bastille: @granny and the spicy tuna part was...?
	11:38am βrian: And did you wear those wire-rim "granny glasses?"
	11:38am Granny Spicy Tuna: Phillippe Bastille, i have many nicknames, and Spicy Tuna is for all things related to radio. My karaoke handle is Princess Fancypants. My actual name on my birth certificate was Jaina Bee.
	11:39am Phillippe Bastille: Aha. Multiple AKAs. Nice
	11:40am Granny Spicy Tuna: βrian, i usually wore disguise glasses or new wave wraparounds. But sometimes i'd go full-on Granny drag, with shawl and wig. I did "back-up knitting" for a band in San Francisco.
	11:41am Ken From Hyde Park: @Phillippe - Older than my mom, who was 81 this summer when I tuned in the polka for her.
	11:41am Granny Spicy Tuna: And Spicy Tuna was inspired by my love for sushi, which was the popular food trend among my friends in the gay 90s.
	11:42am Granny Spicy Tuna: Before that, i was Chicken Tender.
	11:43am Phillippe Bastille: @Ken there's something for everyone here, right?
	11:44am Granny Spicy Tuna: And i was HostEss Fufu, The Executrix, and i am ordained in the Church of the Subgenius as Reverend SPECIAL "Spicy" Pork.
	11:44am Phillippe Bastille: Chicken Tender! Now that's a name I can get behind!
	11:46am Granny Spicy Tuna: While we're at it, i was also ordained in a federally recognized 501c3 legal pagan/witch church as Baba Bee, High Priestx of the Eternal Now.
	11:46am βrian: Chicken tender Chicken sweet Never let me go You have made my life complete ...
	11:48am Granny Spicy Tuna: My freelance go go dancing handle was The Exploding Chicken. Not so tender…
	11:49am Granny Spicy Tuna: Now all the stalkers have so many ways to find me. Good luck!
	11:49am Bdogg & Felix: TROUBLE , your set is getting me through cooking Marcella’s Bolognese sauce from scratch ! Two hours and counting
	11:51am Trouble: whoa: that is hardcore! go@Bdogg& felix. i wimp out and just buy sauce from my guy vinny at Salerno's Salumeria in Jersey City. makes everything himself.
	11:52am Phillippe Bastille: @granny will start googling now...
	11:54am Granny Spicy Tuna: Looks like some young lady in the UK has taken on Princess Fancypants these days…
	11:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: Well done Granny. Best I can say is doing the mail-order reverend credentials thing back in the 1980s from some dodgy outfit based in Chula Vista CA, so in theory my title is the realie dealie. HEH.
	11:58am βrian: We had a mail-order reverend officiate at our wedding.
	11:58am I am the Upsetter: As a fan of bolognese I will have to try Marcella's method!
	11:59am northguineahills: Thanks Trouble for another great show! word, awesome power, GST!
	11:59am Mikey_B: sounds like MB & ML've been jamming forever
	11:59am βrian: Oui, mille mercis.
	12:00pm Phillippe Bastille: Good times. Thanks Trouble, bye everyone
	12:02pm Cmurtha: Great set!
