Playlist for This Is the Modern World with Trouble - October 16, 2008

Thursdays 9am - Noon on WFMU 91.1 fm 90.1 fm wfmu.org

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

Listener comments!

Thu. 10/16/08 9:03am From: jeremy, the listener

greetings! i welcome thursday with open arms

Thu. 10/16/08 9:06am From: Bad Ronald

Ola amigos!

Thu. 10/16/08 9:08am From: trouble

bonjour friends!

Thu. 10/16/08 9:08am From: Parq

As Groucho once put it, Jer, how late do you stay open?

Thu. 10/16/08 9:09am From: alan

hi, i already woke up in lima peru-- thanks to bring that susuma yolota song-- sound`s great with the city weather

Thu. 10/16/08 9:16am From: glen cambell

who knew i would live so long?

Thu. 10/16/08 9:18am From: seb

mbv. beautiful.
good morning!

Thu. 10/16/08 9:19am From: plasmid

who knew i would live so briefly?

Thu. 10/16/08 9:22am From: Negator

Did my bloody valentine blow it or what? They should have been like VU and were with almost nothing. Where was their Elliot Roberts?

Thu. 10/16/08 9:23am From: Negator

Could be one of my biggest disappointments of the 90's. Bigger than Cobain.

Thu. 10/16/08 9:24am From: seb

but loveless is still there. you can always hear it negator. what did you miss?

Thu. 10/16/08 9:28am From: Adrian

"should have been like VU". What, you mean selling seven records?

Thu. 10/16/08 9:28am From: annie

good morning. very wet here.. rain and then some rain. missed you all yesterday..

Thu. 10/16/08 9:29am From: alan

growing sounds like black dice-- is awesome!!

Thu. 10/16/08 9:31am From: joe the plumber

i'd vote for mcbama anyday

Thu. 10/16/08 9:31am From: Negator

Well, you see, I love them! At the time they blew my mind and I was older. Hard to do. 'Glider' is great too, but when I hear them now I realize how amazing they were. They missed their prime and everyone sort of lost for that. The great manager/producer was a famous hand-holder to the talented for many years, he should have been managing them! We'd have ten records. I mean like VU in that they made 6 or 7 records for us to enjoy. And VU has sold millions of records since.

Thu. 10/16/08 9:33am From: Negator

Elliot Roberts great manager/producer

Thu. 10/16/08 9:36am From: jeremy, the listener

You can leave in a taxi. If you can't get a taxi, you can leave in a huff. If that's too soon, you can leave in a minute and a huff.

Thu. 10/16/08 9:41am From: seb

from what i've heard mbv kept on recording but did not release. maybe it's a myth. does anyone know anything about that?

Thu. 10/16/08 9:41am From: Adrian

Negator, have you read "My Magpie Eyes…" the story of Creation? A great read and goes a long way to understanding how incredibly difficult it would hva been for any manager to work with Kevin Shields at the time.

Thu. 10/16/08 9:42am From: Adrian

Hello Trouble, by the way.

Thu. 10/16/08 9:48am From: Ypsilantis

LOVING Vivian Girls.

Thu. 10/16/08 9:50am From: trouble

good morning adrian! have you gone to the francis bacon show at the tate for me yet?

Thu. 10/16/08 9:52am From: Bad Ronald

Mmmmm Bacon!

Thu. 10/16/08 9:52am From: Negator

Reading 'Shakey', Neil Young bio. Awesome. The hero there is Roberts. He kept Neil going when he wasn't going. Kept the dogs off! Thanks for the tip, Adrian I'll read that next. What Bacon at The Tate in London?! Oh, I'm jealous!

Thu. 10/16/08 9:55am From: Adrian

No I haven't but I did go the the Viktor and Rolf exhibition at The Barbican. Twice. It was the best exhibition I have ever seen. Just beautiful. And we could do with as much beauty as we can get, right?

Thu. 10/16/08 9:56am From: trouble

amen to that adrain!

Thu. 10/16/08 9:57am From: 55fps

Trouble, will you do a Neil Hefti tribute today? Not only a great Basie composer/arranger but his '60's soundtracks are classics. RIP

Thu. 10/16/08 9:58am From: stingy d

hi trouble,
did the obama dude win?
i vote for the troggs.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:01am From: kent goldings

hey 55,
efd did a nice little hefti tribute a couple of nights ago with lots of batman covers. check it out if you haven't already!

Thu. 10/16/08 10:02am From: trouble

sorry for the mispelling adrian. ouch. YES the obama dude won/will win!

Thu. 10/16/08 10:02am From: Adrian

Don't worry about it Truoble.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:05am From: Yp

ELECTION IS OVER

Thu. 10/16/08 10:05am From: stingy d

i went to china chalet
meh
but ok... but also, 'for real?' and kind of, 'ok i see'.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:07am From: sugarwolf

I never go to Rhinebeck because all my spare $$$ is going towards the record fair!

Thu. 10/16/08 10:08am From: bzul

That Daisy Chain sounded like Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks back-up singers from the 70s doing a side on their own...dinnit?

Thu. 10/16/08 10:12am From: sugarwolf

Hill Hold was a frequent school field trip spot. I haven't been there in 25 years probably.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:20am From: Yp

This Maga Bo track gave me chills, nice nice stuff. His interview on Rupture was great...

Thu. 10/16/08 10:21am From: stingy d

i listen to more rap than you can imagine... i think i have heard about 20 good rap songs on wfmu... ever... and too often i hear something and i'm like- oh this is cool i like this - and then someone decideds they are allowed to rap... messes me up man

Thu. 10/16/08 10:21am From: stingy d

i'm elitist.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:25am From: stingy d

whoah... amstramgram.... whoooah.... this is amazing

Thu. 10/16/08 10:27am From: grubbus

I'm an eletist too! Wait can that be?

Thu. 10/16/08 10:29am From: ad

tunes soo perfect thank you

Thu. 10/16/08 10:29am From: stingy d

anything's possible grubby, sorry to be that guy trouble... you're always top shelf... i'm just crabby

Thu. 10/16/08 10:30am From: Negator

jil gibson makes me want to hear the new Broadcast record! I think stingy's comment was more a comment on rap. It really has gone to shit. Ultramagnetic MC's not to be found! Serengeti's cool. I don't know rap is sort of dead cept De La Soul. RIP Dilla.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:31am From: dc pat

I'm a 133tist

Thu. 10/16/08 10:31am From: fishmonkeystew

Alright, Trouble. You are now playing one of my favorite Sun Ra tunes. Thank you!

Unmask the Batman!!

Thu. 10/16/08 10:32am From: upstairs

taco bus at 1?

Thu. 10/16/08 10:34am From: Yp

Stingy, you want to recommend some things?

Thu. 10/16/08 10:35am From: 55fps

Thanks Trouble, Kent.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:35am From: Negator

Sun Ra made a Batman soundtrack! I have the record. 1967 or something. Does anyone know of this Italian release? It's really cool. Sun's version of the Batman theme and everything!

Thu. 10/16/08 10:37am From: stingy d

i reccomend "ugly people be quiet" by Cash Money and Marvelous

Thu. 10/16/08 10:37am From: kent goldings

you mean this one, Negator?

http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/02/sun_ra_and_the_.html

Thu. 10/16/08 10:39am From: stingy d

this sounds like the shaggs in a way

Thu. 10/16/08 10:44am From: Negator

Kent that's the one. And that's also the way I found out that my record was Sun Ra. Stingy, I heard Cash Money on WFMU and like him. Will look into the Marvelous. Have you heard Ken's Bags of Money? Not a rapper but maybe he is.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:46am From: Laurie

Ooh! Would-Be-Goods! My favorite Would-Be-Goods song is "Blue Beard"

Thu. 10/16/08 10:48am From: kent goldings

wow, Negator! that must have been an exciting day when you realized this Batman record you already owned was actually Sun Ra!

Thu. 10/16/08 10:51am From: stingy d

also i reccomend kool g rap.. and i also reccomend listening to ol dirty bastard records front to back... and i also reccomend scaramanga, and prodigy and one in every twelve lil wayne songs

Thu. 10/16/08 10:52am From: Negator

vERY EXCITING! I'm an avid thrift store record shopper. Bought it not thinking anything about it. Took it home, listened and thought, "This is weird I really like this kid's Batman record. Couldn't find out anything about it and stuck it on the shelf. Two years later WFMU posted that blog and I thought "Hey!" Funny. I got lots of records like that.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:52am From: stingy d

i also reccomend hating fat joe with every ounce of your being. and loving grand puba's "reel to reel" album

Thu. 10/16/08 10:53am From: Ike

Wow, Apparat's remix of Johnny Cash is blasting open my mind. This after Lykke Li already reached inside my soul and toyed with the inner core of my being.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:54am From: kent goldings

so how much did you pay for the Batman record at the thrift store? i saw it for i think 30 bucks at dusty groove the other day. you win!

Thu. 10/16/08 10:54am From: stingy d

wc and maad circle curb servin
e-40 all the time
1 in 6 del the funkee homosapien songs

Thu. 10/16/08 10:56am From: trouble

to toy with the inner core of your being: that's why i am here ike!

Thu. 10/16/08 10:57am From: Negator

$1 at the thrift store. I got an original record release of Wizard of Oz sountrack worth $120. Lots of dialog from the film.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:57am From: GP

stingy D remember Third Base?
How about Blackalicious?
D.J. Jazzy Jeff's new stuff is pretty good.

Thu. 10/16/08 10:58am From: Negator

'A very Merry Moog Christmas' $120

Thu. 10/16/08 10:58am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Thu. 10/16/08 10:59am From: kent goldings

thrift score!

Thu. 10/16/08 10:59am From: stingy d

i remember third base
i always thougth blackalicious was how you say... hella weak
and i haven't listned to jeff in along time.. but i hear good thigns

Thu. 10/16/08 10:59am From: GP

Dang...missed Lykke li ..good morning all.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:00am From: dc pat

josephine foster rules

Thu. 10/16/08 11:00am From: Negator

I found an original pressing of United States of America record a few weeks ago! Not as valuble as others, but wow! I shit my knickers...

Thu. 10/16/08 11:05am From: stingy d

i also reccomend playing michael sembello's "mega-madness" 45 at 33 from the gremlins soundtrack

Thu. 10/16/08 11:05am From: Parq

Neg, that's the advantage of thrift-shopping outside the NY/Boston/SF matrix, where the black-belts troll the bins on a daily basis. Here, you have as much chance of finding a real nugget as you do of cross-coutry skiing down Broadway on newly fallen snow.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:06am From: stingy d

parq is right... but... it does happen

Thu. 10/16/08 11:10am From: stingy d

people skiing down broadway that is.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:12am From: Negator

Yeah, I live in Raleigh NC. I see two other dudes at the shops. They are dealers, though, I just hunt and keep. I have about 4000 records. Small by others collections. A local DJ is going to spin my records in front of my house when Obama wins at a house party. If he doesn't win, I'm taking my family to Canada.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:13am From: stingy d

since reminding me of things is happening... it's a fine day reminded me of the beginning of true stories... the movie.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:14am From: grumpy

Why do you call yourself Trouble?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:14am From: GP

Negator,
Canada recently banned the importation of cicular vinyl objects, so I'm afrais that you will have to leave your collection to me for safekeeping.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:14am From: dale

why do you call yourself grumpy?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:16am From: GP

OK, maybe leave some extra letters so that I can spell as well..
cicular=circular
afrais=afraid

Thu. 10/16/08 11:16am From: dale

my forsythias are blossoming. the black walnuts have buds. the wolly bears are trying to hide under the leaves. it's an odd fall.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:17am From: Negator

Oh! I found a Sopwith Camel record the other day. Anybody know that band? '67

Thu. 10/16/08 11:17am From: dale

I am an idiot

Thu. 10/16/08 11:17am From: ee

Trouble- will I ever be able to find this record? This song is so good it makes me crazy.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:18am From: grumpy

I was talking to Trouble

Thu. 10/16/08 11:19am From: Adrian

Thu. 10/16/08 11:20am From: jk

wait...is it wed afternoon?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:21am From: seb

i'm a-scared

Thu. 10/16/08 11:22am From: dc pat

morricone rules more than josephine foster

Thu. 10/16/08 11:22am From: Laurie

Ha, my thoughts exactly, jk. Is this some weird space-time continuum hiccup?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:22am From: jenniqua

Ennio Morricone!! So appropriate for the MAVERICK's last stand. Love it! Which one do you think McCain is, the good, the bad or the ugly?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:23am From: dale

thank you for posting as me. it's not transparent.

unbelievable trumpeting on the morricone.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:24am From: jk

thought I'd lost a day and had to redo tuesday morning

Thu. 10/16/08 11:24am From: dc pat

Obama = good, Palin = bad, McCain = fugly

Thu. 10/16/08 11:25am From: dale

I have nothing so say

Thu. 10/16/08 11:25am From: GP

Yo la ...this is a great song.....TROUBLE you know just what we need!

Thu. 10/16/08 11:26am From: stingy d

obama = swellish
palin = nailin'
mccain = crazy cute grampy
biden = afterthought?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:26am From: Christian from New York

I LOVE YOU TROUBLE!

Makin' my longest day of classes THAT much better!

Thu. 10/16/08 11:26am From: jenniqua

hippies, hasch und flower power? Ya, ya und ya!

Thu. 10/16/08 11:26am From: stingy d

wait is the album name really i am not afraid of you and will beat your ass?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:27am From: Christian from New York

Sure is: http://iamnotafraidofyouandiwillbeatyourass.com/

Thu. 10/16/08 11:28am From: GP

Nader...anyone?......

nailin Palin...love it.

10-4 on that stingy..great album name, no?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:30am From: Parq

Sopwith Camel had a couple of novelty hits about Snoopy and the Red Baron, including the immortal "Snoopy's Christmas". I imagine the album is laden with filler, but it should be of the vaguely flower-power 60s garage variety, yeah?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:32am From: Parq

And did I correctly hear Yo La mention Todd-O-Phonic Todd on that track?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:32am From: stingy d

i dislike yo la tengo a little less because of that, but i mean, i'm a trinitario so them dudes could eat a dick

Thu. 10/16/08 11:34am From: seb

i see. that's... quite eloquent of yours.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:35am From: bzul

Parq: Royal Guardsmen mit der Snoopen musik hitz, no?

Thu. 10/16/08 11:35am From: stingy d

i'm sane though, i'm a egg a lint duke

Thu. 10/16/08 11:36am From: kent goldings

parq, i have always thought that sounded like a todd-o-phonic todd shoutout as well.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:36am From: Parq

Oh nutz, right you are, bz. But I remember the name Sopwith Camel for some reason. Now this is gonna bug me . . .

Thu. 10/16/08 11:37am From: Sean Daily

Love this Passion Pit song, Trouble.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:38am From: bzul

Name of Snoopy's fighter plane and a different band from SF.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:40am From: linus van pelt

i wish i was that guy

Thu. 10/16/08 11:43am From: stingy d

can i also reccomend any wu-tang songs that involve running... and going to the store

Thu. 10/16/08 11:44am From: Adrian

iTunes France doesn't let us Brits buy from it. I wanted to buy the Spleen Peter Pan track with CocoRosie. But no.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:50am From: Laurie

FYI, I took my cats to the vet for their annual check-up this morning. FUN.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:51am From: Parq

Ah, that's it! Sopwith Camel did "Hello Hello", feat. the memorable line "Would you like some of my tangerine / You know I'd never treat you mean".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopwith_Camel_(band)

Thu. 10/16/08 11:53am From: Adrian

Ooh, I love this song. You played another earlier this year and I just had to buy the album.

Thu. 10/16/08 11:58am From: dale

hello, hello:

Thu. 10/16/08 11:59am From: jenniqua

Kevin Ayers?

Thu. 10/16/08 12:00pm From: dale

this one is better actually, Dick Clark lead in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11bLTZPaS2U

Thu. 10/16/08 12:01pm From: Ike

I must disagree with Stingy on Blackalicious. They're groovy.
