WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 09/21/12

Listener comments!

7:49am duke:

All of the clowns at the special congress of clowns came in the same car.

7:55am Doug Schulkind:

Let's hope it was a rugged, family-sized vehicle (pronounced VEE-hick-ull).

8:49am Merv:

Just read the newsletter-- The end of HBR! I thought it would never come...

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Merv
I have been silently praying that the folks from HBR start that series up again. In the meantime, you should be aware of their website:
hillbilly-researcher.blogspot.com

8:55am listener james from westwood:

can't sleep ... clowns will eat me ...

8:56am Doug Schulkind:

There was a "Please Don't Feed the Clowns" sign posted, but the clowns ate it.

8:59am Jeff G:

Pretty sure that's also the clown periodic table.

8:59am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:59am Jeff G:

GAH. PERIODIC table.
MOAH COFFEE.

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Jeff and howdy ndbob.

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Jeff, I will fix your typo for a small fee.

9:01am Jeff G:

FEE = pie in face, I'm guessing.

9:02am Merv:

Yup, I went to the website the other day because I was curious about the project... Interesting that the folks are from the UK... According to the post here: http://somelocalloser.blogspot.com/2011/07/hbr-cd-75-wheeling-west-virginia.html that website isn't actually related to the other hillbilly researcher...

9:03am listener james from westwood:

jeff g: those clowns on the right would be noble clowns, then.
morning everyone and happy friday!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

@Merv
Wow, really? Different UK-based Hillbilly-Researchers? Who knew!

9:05am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff
Bend down and smell my carnation.

9:06am Jeff G:

No way, Doug. Fool me once...

@ljfw: was thinking we could come up with new groupings. The Hat group; the Sads; the Balds; the Bow Ties etc.

9:08am Merv:

Hard to believe! I guess there's no evidence that hillbilly researcher website is from the UK though... Just the originals... Seems confusing- I'll stick to listening instead of researching...

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Merv
Take that straw outta your teeth when you do your researchin'. It's so undignified.

9:12am Jeff G:

This is good, but needs a bit more chchchchchchcchchchhhhhh...

9:16am dcp@:

hey man.

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff
The chchchchch has been replaced by the nyuhnyuhnyuhnyuh.

Morning dcp!

9:18am Parq:

That's it; I'm changing the name of my autobiography to "Bend Down and Smell My Carnation". G'morning all.

9:19am kat330:

Send in the clowns? They're already here!

Hiya, Doug and fellow Givers!

9:20am dcp@:

double reeds! My daughter just took up the oboe.

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

Just keep reminding her, dcp, it's all about the embouchure.

9:23am Parq:

"Congress" of clowns "came" in the car -- huh-huh, huh-huh!

9:24am dcp@:

good advice Mr. Drummer, thanks.

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
If you were looking for some parliamentary procedure, you're out of luck.

9:25am trish:

Make-up - you're not a clown without it.

9:26am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff
Matt Shipp mentioned D:O on FB just now.

9:26am pgw in mntclr:

i had classes in high school with the oboe player of the school band. he pretty much had his reed in his mouth whenever he wasn't speaking.

9:27am trish:

FB ? Fulcrum Bias ?

9:28am ndbob:

great set here Doug!

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Hello trish! (FB = Facebook, pre-make-up Face)

9:32am trish:

"They trust me... dumb fucks" - Mark Zuckerberg.

9:38am dcp@:

Wizard of Oz=fave film. My mother says indeed, her breath was taken away with the door to color scene. Biggest cinema moment in her childhood.

9:38am ?:

re: the Wizard of Oz, I think it is well-documented that people were gasping in the theaters when it switched to color. . .

9:39am still b/p:

Hullo. I'm cloudy and headachey this morning.
Clownliness is next to grogginess.

9:39am ndbob:

ever see any or the early, silent, Oz films?

9:39am Jeff G:

Speaking of Bismillah Khan, saw Rudresh Mahanthappa play last night. He is good at what he does. (Connection is that RM did a post for D:O once on Indian classical music, and hipped us to BK.)

9:41am ?:

@ndbob: didn't know there were such films. assume they are of different Oz-related stories? Any way to get them for personal home viewing (assuming they are good)?

9:41am Jeff G:

MP3 links are gone, but here is Rudresh's post: http://destination-out.com/?p=232

9:41am holland oats:

how you gonna fit all those songs into that tiny radio drumma?

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

@Holland Oats
At least it's not a tinny radio. (Oh yes it is.)

9:45am ndbob:

Im pretty sure they are on DVD - and some are on YouTube

9:46am ndbob:

there are 1910 - and 1925- versions of the wizard of oz - the patchwork girl of oz from 1914 etc

9:46am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug & folks, back from the country. Peaceful. Sky full of stars.
All these clowns & I can't see no politicians.

9:47am ndbob:

there's also a cd of songs from the 1903 musical

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian
How can you tell the difference? (Hey-Ohhh!)

9:49am dcp@:

whoa....never heard of Red Hot Ole Mose before. Nice.

9:49am holland oats:

really mansfield!!

9:50am ?:

thx, ndbob. sappy, but true: it warms my heart that even in this day and age (internets, tv and computer screens every 2 seconds) when I showed the Wizard of Oz to my then-6 year old son he was blown away by the transition to color and loved the movie

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Oops, forgot to say warm welcomings to you kat330!

9:53am ndbob:

the early Oz films are totally different from the 1939 one - the scarecrow is the star of the 1925 version

9:54am Jeff G:

...and we have a Disnified OZ coming next year to look forward to/dread...

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff
No! That's actually horrifying.

9:56am dcp@:

ndbobo: wait, the Scarecrow ISN'T the star of the '39 version?

9:58am dcp@:

great set drummer.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

@dcp
I am rocking in a fetal position, too.

10:00am ndbob:

@dcp the highlight of the 1914 patchwork girl of oz film is a cubist cat

10:01am Alex in Illinois:

But I'm not wearing make-up!! - Krusty the Clown

10:03am ndbob:

10:05am clown sez:

...cubist cat....by Piccatso?

10:09am Brian in UK:

'Old Mose Knows' (The Searchers)

10:13am ?:

liking the left turn this Camayenne Sofa just took

10:14am Brian in UK:

Vocals have a Mory Kante vibe, must be the Guinea connection.

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning Alex! (You've smeared lipstick on your teeth again.)

10:17am Hugo:

One of my all-time favourite words: Syliphone (after Ogun, of course).

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Hugo
There is a NICE Syliphone collection in this week's Motherlode.

10:21am Hugo:

Here is another nice Syliphone in my collection:

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Some more nice African twisting here:

wrldsrv.blogspot.com...

10:22am Brian in UK:

Well Hugo I guess a clown would have a silly 'phone, probably spray you with water when it rings.

10:25am Hugo:

Brian, that'd be the latest in smartphones.

10:31am 3-ring tones:

When's Big Apple Circus releasing the newest piePhone?

10:32am Jeff G:

Ok, thanks, Drummer! Gotta run. Hope to see some of you on Monday at noon.

AND: happy (early) birthday, John Coltrane (9/23) (23/9, for Brian).

10:59am kat330:

I think I've spotted the Clown Congressman of Ireland. Which one represents US though?

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Yeah, Ireland really goes the high-profile route. I think the U.S. clown was in the bathroom and missed the group photo.

11:14am Carmichael:

Yo Dougie and peoples. I have first dibs to bag on Irish politicians. Actually, 2nd dibs, cause I'm an export. Other David is our man on the ground in Eire.

11:15am kat330:

This Battiato is so very nice.

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

@Carm
You have all the dibs you want. Preferably with some nice BBQ sauce.

11:36am monica:

divine show today. doug! fyi:
Brazil Sends 'The Clown' to Foreign Oscar Race:
"The Clown" portrays a clown, played by Selton Mellow, who quits the circus and tries to make a living on the road in the 1970s.

11:38am joe:

'ello folks
just been creeping around the outskirts as I did not have access to a keyboard.

11:38am joe:

that picture is now my desktop. :)

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Oh HEY Monica! The Brazilian clown at left is the one wearing nothing but pasties and a smile.

Hello Joe, say it IS so.

11:40am joe:

It is So!

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

11:53am listener james from westwood:

bittersweet to realize we've reached the end of the steinski archive, but glad to have it all a couple of clicks away.

11:53am joe:

Oh no we only have like 2 Rough Mixes left right?

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Dontcha monkey wit da monkey. Nice trim presentation Mr Drummer.

11:56am ndbob:

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

No monkeys were harmed during the production of this broadcast. (A few were witheringly humiliated, however.)

11:59am listener james from westwood:

this show burst outta the gate with that cantorial set and did. not. stop. well done and many thanks!

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:
