Playlist for This Is the Modern World with Trouble - February 26, 2009

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.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:05am From: listener mark

Yes, well done annie
Good Morning Trouble
Good Morning World

Thu. 2/26/09 9:06am From: annie

good morning every one. still rubbing the goobers out of the eyes..

Thu. 2/26/09 9:06am From: fishmonkeystew

Good morning, Trouble, Annie, SmokinJ, and Listener Mark!

That Nina Simone piece was mighty tasty.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:07am From: trouble

good morning all! nina simone's birthday was saturday, so you'll be hearing some more nina this a.m.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:10am From: wha?

re: nina YAY!
So when I'm not listening to WFMU and am trying to actually get work done, Groove Salad is usually on. this schnauss piece is in heavy rotation there. so i was confused at first what was playing through itunes.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:11am From: Adrian in London

Morning/Afternoon. (until I have to go to the supermarket, that is).

Thu. 2/26/09 9:12am From: Parq

Yes, Nina's reading of the Cohen tune is tremendous. Looking forward to whatever of her work Miss T has in her carpetbag this morning.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:20am From: sebastian

buenos días muchachada

Thu. 2/26/09 9:22am From: stingy d

i'm getting stupid sick. whats the remedy?

hi everybody. i miss you's guys. trouble you're still the best. still the best. east to west. kingpin. big stacks. money. willie biggs.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:24am From: Adrian in London

Hey Sebastian, have you been to the fashion museum in Santiago?

Thu. 2/26/09 9:30am From: Grant

http://www.spinner.com/2009/02/23/motorheads-lemmy-upset-with-anatomically-incorrect-doll/

Thu. 2/26/09 9:32am From: Ike

SD, did you put that bad apostrophe in the word "yous" just to rile me up? How sweet. Thanks. But there is no cure for getting stupid sick. Not the stupid part anyway, but then you've always had that! HA! Just kidding, you know I love you. Sort of. Well, not really. Actually, not at all. ;>

Thu. 2/26/09 9:35am From: hazmania

Avengers!

Thu. 2/26/09 9:36am From: Liz B.

A guy pal of mine went to see Tom Jones last night! He said that 8 pairs of panties and 2 bras were tossed onstage during "She's a Lady."

Thu. 2/26/09 9:36am From: stingy d

ike i love you. but you can't be my english professor. i'm a high school drop out - what do you expect?

Thu. 2/26/09 9:36am From: sebastian

hi adrian. no, i haven't. actually i can't quite tell my brownshirts from my guayaberas.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:39am From: stingy d

and i'm writing a book; and everything. but and your pet peeve's

Thu. 2/26/09 9:39am From: listener mark

I was raised in Lyndhurst,NJ. Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:42am From: sebastian

but i hear it's a fine endeavor, with marilyn monroe original dresses and all or am i being delirious? i think elijah wood is involved in it somehow.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:45am From: annie

trouble, any way to get some of her fine piano work?

Thu. 2/26/09 9:47am From: Ike

Ah, SD, your 9:36 comment was probably the most coherent thing you've typed all month, but then you go and say something totally incomprehensible. It wouldn't be the same without you around here. Which is to say, it would be better. HA! But if you're writing a book, then at least you're going to give an editor thousands (or millions) of hours of employment!

Thu. 2/26/09 9:48am From: listener mark

the kinks?

Thu. 2/26/09 9:49am From: annie

i helped a friend edit her book, she told me not to change aything at all.. her writing style was very odd, hard not to comment.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:49am From: Greg

I could have sworn this was Super Furry Animals

Thu. 2/26/09 9:50am From: stingy d

ok, i'll never speak again. ike wins.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:51am From: listener mark

play nice children

Thu. 2/26/09 9:51am From: sugarwolf

how do you edit w/o changing anything??

Thu. 2/26/09 9:52am From: annie

i guess she mostly wanted a critique in the long run.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:55am From: listener mark

annie, I work in a used book store. What is her genre? Fiction or non-fiction?

Thu. 2/26/09 9:56am From: annie

it was a random collection of thoughts and events from her life.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:59am From: annie

i told her the best way to convey her story was through spoken word, which is her talent.

Thu. 2/26/09 9:59am From: Pat in Philadelphia

Oh Trouble you know the way to my heart! Anything off Paris 1919 will do!

Thu. 2/26/09 10:00am From: listener mark

Oh, we get those, part inspirational, part auto biographical, self-help

Thu. 2/26/09 10:08am From: annie

she has a great outlet in youtube. i have many friends who tell a better story than write it.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:11am From: listener mark

trouble, don't you have minions there at the radio station? flying monkeys or oompa loompas?

Thu. 2/26/09 10:12am From: Parq

Annie: "a random collection of thoughts and events from her life" sounds exactly like the sort of thing I would expect from someone who wants an editor who doesn't do any editing. My wife was an editor for 15 years and put up with this sort of thing all the time. Your friend is going to make some vanity press owner very happy.

Miss T: Gal Costa singing something called "divino, maravilhoso" sounds like it would be autobiographical, yeh?

Thu. 2/26/09 10:13am From: Cecile

hola, everyone!
get better stingy!

Thu. 2/26/09 10:14am From: Pat in Philadelphia

Did everybody hear about the death Pylon guitarist Randy Bewley?
http://idolator.com/5160620/randy-bewley-rip
That's very sad. I know it goes against the welsh theme but any chance of hearing some Pylon? Something from Gyrate?

Thu. 2/26/09 10:15am From: annie

parq, she has finally exhausted her attempts. she has taken up the cello!

Thu. 2/26/09 10:15am From: Cecile

damn I missed John Cale

this Tom Jones song is damn strange.

Pat, I just heard that, too. I am gutted. I loved and still loved Pylon so much.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:16am From: annie

which is actually far more cathartic for her.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:16am From: Ken From Hyde Park

Welsh theme? Where's Bronwyn C. at?

Thu. 2/26/09 10:16am From: Garth

This song is BLOWING MY MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thu. 2/26/09 10:17am From: Cecile

you could play some Estron and I wouldn't be upset. Beee-yoo-tiful Welsh trancy stuff.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:18am From: Bad Ronald

How about more John Cale?

Thu. 2/26/09 10:19am From: Parq

Sad news. I saw Pylon on a double bill with the Method Actors (an Athens two-fer) at Trax in 1980 -- anyone else remember that West 72nd Street venue? I followed Pylon intermittently ever since. Thoughts going out to his loved ones.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:19am From: texas scott

morning,Trouble and commenteers.
marathon time is new to me.how can I share the love with 50 bucks and 4 fave shows?
anybody?

Thu. 2/26/09 10:20am From: bertozzi

Hi Trouble! Great show as always. For the theme: Badfinger (Swansea) and The Alarm (Rhyl)

Thu. 2/26/09 10:22am From: Cecile

I don't know, texas scott.
I was going to spread out my cash, but ended up buying Station Manager Ken yesterday.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:23am From: annie

i only have 25 bucks to spend....

Thu. 2/26/09 10:23am From: ?

There's a livejournal community called "cranky editors/editors unleashed " for Ike and the like. Stingy could start a new one -- "hashtalkers/fragmentality." I don't 'spect you'll actually mutify y'self, stingy, but don't be forced into text-tongue time-out. Keep representin' the nongeneric component of the comment blood, while posters like me can only strike up the bland.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:24am From: kent

scott, donate 12.50 during each one of your favorite shows. you'll be able to collect premiums on your total donation of $50. if you have more detailed questions, i think joe mcgasko is the person to email about that. he is nice. he will help you. get ready to have super fun during the marathon!

Thu. 2/26/09 10:25am From: texas scott

Cecile,how much did Ken put you back?
thanks,kent!

Thu. 2/26/09 10:27am From: annie

anyone know if the "membership chat" is going to be donation motivated?

Thu. 2/26/09 10:27am From: Cecile

it would have been $180, but I made it a mouse pledge just coz.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:28am From: Cecile

I budget for 'fmu annually.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:28am From: texas scott

nice!
on behalf of poor listeners,we thank you,Cecile!

Thu. 2/26/09 10:29am From: trouble

thanks for all your welsh suggestions! i should have asked for them last week, because i am trapped in the tower of the 4th floor studio and the record library is 2 floors away. no running for spontaneous picks this week. I actually just saw a mention of welsh week in time out and thought i would just run with it...

Thu. 2/26/09 10:29am From: Christy

oh, I just sent you an email--I was looking for this link. got any Ana Gabriel? the Mariachi one? La Reina Canta A Mexico...

Thu. 2/26/09 10:31am From: sugarwolf

i'm making my pledge tonight... but what to adopt??? oh, such problems...

Thu. 2/26/09 10:32am From: sugarwolf

i would have suggested the teen anthems 'welsh bands sucks'

Thu. 2/26/09 10:33am From: Christy

oh, OK, I see your post, no requests today...maybe another day then!

Thu. 2/26/09 10:34am From: still b/p

Would Tom Jones get it if puppets were tossed onstage along with panties?

Thu. 2/26/09 10:35am From: sugarwolf

maybe if they were puppets in panties

Thu. 2/26/09 10:35am From: north guinea hills

one of my favorite john tchicai releases

Thu. 2/26/09 10:37am From: Ike

Kent, I might be wrong, but TX Scott might need a min. $15 per pledge this year to get in drawings for bonus CD prizes, i.e. the rotating selection of prizes that are "on the block" at any given time. (Or is it still $10?) But TX Scott, if you don't care about those prize drawings, then $12.50 per show would work.

In any case, any number of pledges totaling $50 will definitely get you a T-shirt.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:37am From: marathon veteran

Cecile, if you're making a mouse pledge, you'll get something like 7 marathon premiums, so you can show your love to individual dee jays that way. Annie, if by the membership chat you mean these comments, there's usually a mix of pledge-related comments and non. Scott, can you possibly make it $75? Then you'd get a tee shirt *and* a dee jay marathon premium. and they are all so swell that you'll agonize over which one to pick. Plus, at $12.50 per, you could show your love to a half dozen favorites. Everybody, check out the swag selection - so much nifty stuff that you can't afford not to pledge.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:37am From: GP

Morning Trouble, and everyone.
Liz B., I think Tom J has shills in the audience with panty and bra launchers much like those guys at sporting events that launch t-shirts into the crowd.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:39am From: Parq

Actually, GP, I was gonna say that Tom is slipping if he garnered only five of what the Brits call knickers in a show.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:42am From: Lucielle

Ah, this is like the most perfect song ever.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:42am From: still b/p

A gal who can't quite get up the nerve to toss 'em is a knickerbalker.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:42am From: GP

True Parq...he probably has several rooms or even an entire house wallpapered with them by now.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:42am From: kent

ike, i kind of hope you're right about that $15 minimum for prize drawings. i hate it when something big/heavy (higher shipping costs) like a box set goes to a $10 pledger. that means the station loses money on that one.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:47am From: Pat in Philadelphia

Thanks for pointing me to khmerrocks.com Trouble! That stuff is fantastic!!

Thu. 2/26/09 10:48am From: Cecile

Yes, Mar-Vet, I showered my favorite DJs with premium love.

bwah.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:50am From: annie

mar vet: there was chatter about expanding the listener involvement in the form of forums and such and cetera.. not sure if that is s till in the works.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:50am From: texas scott

is there a 15 buck minimum?
4 shows,60 bucks and a t-shirt.
then I 'll be on my merry way.
thanks for everyone's input!

Thu. 2/26/09 10:52am From: Cecile

still b/p - dead. dead here.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:52am From: Ike

Kent, true, but either way, many DJs make it a special higher-than-usual min. for a box set or heavy item drawing. And a lot of the $10 folks are multiple pledgers, some even with Mouse prize accts.

That John Tchai track was great. And that was Paul Weller? Really? Wow, I've never loved a Paul Weller song that much.

Thu. 2/26/09 10:56am From: north guinea hills

i believe juana molina is playing tomorrow at that red fish place....

Thu. 2/26/09 10:57am From: still b/p

No, Cecile...dead?
Need to go shop at Laz 'R Us?

Thu. 2/26/09 10:59am From: Cecile

stop eeeeeet.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:01am From: mar vet

Scott, *fifteen* dollars more and you get a premium CD! You won't be sorry!

Thu. 2/26/09 11:03am From: ellen from museum

YES! girls rock! more girls on album pleaazzeeeee

Thu. 2/26/09 11:04am From: Cecile

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!

Thu. 2/26/09 11:08am From: GP

Now if we could only get Trouble to speak Welsh..now that would be something I tell ya.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:12am From: texas scott

okay,mar vet...
75 bucks,5 shows,a t-shirt and cd?
then i'll be on my merry way??
gotta have the shirt to advertise WFMU...

Thu. 2/26/09 11:13am From: trouble

indeed it would be something! i would love to speak all the languages of the fab songs i play, or at least be able to correctly pronounce them, with out giggling...

Thu. 2/26/09 11:15am From: Parq

Love me some Peggy Lee's "Hey There". According to Brave Combo, this was originally a show tune.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:16am From: DeemerDave

We like the giggling.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:17am From: GP

I'm with fellow Texan Scott..need the T-short to spread the good word, plus some stickers...that'll do..that'll do.

Trouble, I found that the BBC has some fantastic online language courses ( Including Welsh) but alas with me right now it is just one of those things on my to-do list that may or may not get done....and yes giggling is perfectly lovely.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:19am From: sugarwolf

parq, it was from the pajama game... and was a duet of john raitt singing with himself on a dictaphone

Thu. 2/26/09 11:19am From: texas scott

"HEY THERE" was from a show called 'THE PAJAMA GAME' Parq

Thu. 2/26/09 11:19am From: still b/p

Near enough to the stage for Nina live or Peggy when she was...and I'd toss my jock, socks, contacts and eye teeth.

Show = "Pajama Game".

Thu. 2/26/09 11:20am From: still b/p

Triple 11:19 jinx!

Thu. 2/26/09 11:23am From: Parq

Thx guys - always wondered what kind of a story line would lead into that song. Next question - who's the female vox on this Cash number?

Thu. 2/26/09 11:23am From: PMD

Cecile, I just saw you bought Ken. Darn, I was thinking of it too. Please give him a more interesting name. I'll be doing the monthly credit card thing - at least it won't feel as bad as the big hunk o' cash

Thu. 2/26/09 11:24am From: emily

your killing me with the sweetness of unrefined country

Thu. 2/26/09 11:26am From: GP

Awesome,,,,,
http://tiny.cc/JeannieC

Thu. 2/26/09 11:30am From: GP

At least you tried Trouble...and we are the better for it.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:30am From: Cecile

I'm doing the monthly thing, too, PMD.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:38am From: Sean Daily

Not even close to first comment! Woo hoo!

Thu. 2/26/09 11:40am From: 55ffrr

This Wobble album ranks very high on my list of favs, right along with Uri Caine's Goldberg Variations.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:45am From: Cecile

this desmond dekker is wonderful, never heard it before...

Thu. 2/26/09 11:51am From: Sean Hourly

I will be competing for last minute woo hoos, if it's all right.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:52am From: texas scott

Thu. 2/26/09 11:52am From: annie

Thu. 2/26/09 11:55am From: PMD

Woo hoo!

Thu. 2/26/09 11:57am From: Shana Kimball

Noooo! I don't want this show to end.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:57am From: annie

this guitar work is similar to lucinda williams

Thu. 2/26/09 11:57am From: Compulsive Impersonator

First, Bad Ronald. Now, Sean. I am beginning to feel like the Zelig of fmu commentators. Help. Please. Oh, and a really last minute woo hoo.

Thu. 2/26/09 11:59am From: Cecile
