WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 11/16/12

Listener comments!

8:51am Brian in UK:

I cannot believe what I am inhaling. Sweet essence of giraffe.

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

Let's hope the hyenas are not inhaling sweet essence of Brian in UK.

8:53am Van in DC:

LOL @ the picture. Good morning Mr. Drummer and all 404 seekers out there

8:55am Doug Schulkind:

Never find yourself driving the wrong way down Highway 404. (That's nine miles of bad road.)

Good morning, Van!

8:57am duke:

Good morning
I think I found your file. It was in the laundry.

8:59am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Lodged in the lint-catcher, no doubt.

9:00am Jeff G:

Is this where the line begins?

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

This is where the line dancing begins. Get ready to doe-see-doe.

9:02am Van in DC:

Can't...quite...make...out...the...t-shirt. "Outer Banks"? nah...anyone? :)

9:03am Jeff G:

Fetching t-shirt details....

9:03am Brian in UK:

Hyenas, you are having a laugh.

9:04am Alex in Illinois:

Good morning! And to Brian and anyone else East of the Atlantic, good afternoon and good evening. I actually go to work early enough to hear the show start!

9:05am Doug Schulkind:

Hope you get to go home early, then, Alex.

9:05am Alex in Illinois:

I mean I actually "got" to work early enough. I really need to take advantage of the review page when posting.

9:06am Brian in UK:

'10 Miles to Go on a 9 Mile Road' as Jim White once wrote

9:07am Brian in UK:

Tip of the proverbial hat to you, Alex.

9:08am Jeff G:

You said "duties."

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, duties.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Alex, typos only reveal that you are not some listener-bot come to destroy us all.

9:10am Brian in UK:

I read that as 'Feltching track details'

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Today's playlist photo comes to us from Listener Ron, taken at the height of the "WFMU asunder" period.

9:18am Paul Sherratt:

Blimey, that didn't sound like Nathan Abshire ! Frog in throat day ?

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Frogs gotta live, too, Brother Paul.

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, Paul, get your D.L. Menard stories ready...

9:24am Paul Sherratt:

That certainly does sound like D L Menard. Accidental fire-raiser ...

9:27am Fiveash:

The Cajun Hank Williams!

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Ol' Hank couldn't make a rocking chair like D.L.

9:28am Lore:

I often steal DL's joke, from ~1:03, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsdNOg79r8g

9:28am Paul Sherratt:

And Doug, how did you know that I was talking about DL just a couple of hours back

9:29am Jeff G:

Are you going to get through this set without playing anything from the Jay Miller sessions? You, sir, plow the musical depths.

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

Before Jay Miller there was Leo Soileau!

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Because of that transponder we implanted in your back molar, Brother Paul...

9:32am Artie:

Hey, nice pic! Who's the handsome gentleman reflected there on the radio? So glad that what once was lost is found again.

9:36am ndbob:

nice set there Doug

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Reverend Lore! Salutations Deacon Artie! Peace be unto you, Father ndbob!

9:45am Paul Sherratt:

Lore,
The old ones are the best ... were you at that house party ?

9:46am Uncle Michael:

G'morning drummers.

9:48am Hugo:

@Brian: Sweet essence of giraffe ... Canyons of Your Mind?

9:49am Uncle Michael:

Hugo got it.

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Hey Uncle Michael! Howdy Hugo!

9:50am Uncle Michael:

Hi there, Doug. Working on the shopping list...picking up my bird today.

9:53am listener Rey:

Good Morning all Drummers and then some
Tuned in just in time for this Killer latin set.

9:53am Paul Sherratt:

Uncle Michael, either there is some big celebration afoot or you've just arrived from 1960's Britain ...

9:53am Jeff G:

Request: can anyone in this knowledgeable peanut gallery point me toward some good Bollywood-type Indian pop -- but w/o vocals?

9:55am Uncle Michael:

(Next Thursday is Thanksgiving) I'm also making Picante de Camarones tomorrow...in case I can get a little inspiration from Doug and he'll play us some chicha...

9:58am Paul Sherratt:

Uncle, that bird, it's not a blackbird is it ? ( talking of chicha )

9:58am Uncle Michael:

I need to go beat the Twinkie rush and hoard! R.I.P. Hostess.

9:59am holland oats:

drumma! peoples!

9:59am ndbob:

As much as I love junk food, I never cared for Twinkies

10:00am Uncle Michael:

No, I'm going way outside of the box and roasting a turkey. What's the blackbird/chicha connection?

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Visitors to Earth from distant galaxies will be discovering perfectly "fresh" Twinkies millennia into the future.

10:00am listener Rey:

all of the Tito Allen albums on Alegre are very good. Louie Ramirez produces and plays on them. Usually with the very inventive Papo Pepin on conga

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

Right you are, Rey. (Hey Rey!) And Mike Collazo on timbales and José Madera on bongo. And FOUR trumpets!

10:04am Uncle Michael:

The death of Hostess also means no more Suzy Q's, Snowballs, Hostess Donuts, Fruit Pies - and since Hostess also distributes Drake's Cakes these days, goodbye Ring Dings, Yodels, Coffee Cakes...plus no more Wonder Bread, Beefsteak Rye, Dolly Madison, Home Pride, Nissen...

10:05am Paul Sherratt:

Uncle.
Los Mirlos.

10:07am Jeff G:

Wooo! Name check!

10:08am Uncle Michael:

Thanks Paul.

10:10am Jeff G:

Also saying goodbye with Hostess demise: 19,000 jobs.

10:11am Van in DC:

The workers union did that.

10:12am Fiveash:

Jeff G- I was away from the speakers, so apologies if Doug beat me to it, but this one is great: http://www.sublimefrequencies.com/item.asp?Item_id=46&t=Bollywood-Steel-Guitar

10:12am Uncle Michael:

Hopefully some of the jobs will be saved with some of the brands, bought up in the bankruptcy sale.

10:12am Lore:

Hi Paul. Regrettably I was not at that party with DL, nor have I ever seen him in person. Someday, I hope. (fiveash...?)

10:16am holland oats:

$2.5B in sales and they couldn't keep it together? I smell a rat.

10:17am Fiveash:

Lore- Yeah, I saw him at the Ponderosa Stomp a couple years ago, on the small stage on the back patio of the house of blues, backed by the Lost Bayou Ramblers (great and very young band from- I think- Lafayette or thereabouts). It was one of the highlights of a stomp filled with 'em.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Paul Sherratt has set awhile with D.L. Menard. Tell us a story, Paul.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

And HELLO Holland Oats...

10:21am dcp@:

hey kids. This B. Bradford is just...about...right...

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

Van, when I eat completely synthetic sponge-cake-like treats, they HAVE to be union made.

10:22am holland oats:

;)

10:22am jill:

Hello all - Power back on in Jerseyland makes me enjoy Drummer Some radio that much more!

10:23am Jeff G:

Thanks, Doug and Fiveash!

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Hey dcp@, where y'@!

FInally back on the grid, Jill. That's some crazy-ass shit! Leave all your lights on for a week or something.

10:24am 10 yr old me:

"But mom! The ad cartoon characters tell me it's ..."

Swindled before educated.

10:27am Hugo:

Yes, the WFMU record fair is a wonderful thing. For those who have not been there, you can catch the atmosphere of the place on this eight-minute walk-through:

https://vimeo.com/53550703

Some WFMU djs right at the end of the walk-through.

Lovely BB record, by the way.

10:28am dcp@:

I R @ kitchen...workin...listenin'

10:29am Uncle Michael:

I want to tip you that I saw the Branford Marsalis Quartet last Friday and if you get a chance to hear Justin Faulkner play the drums...do it.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome to you, 10 yr old me! Wake up your little sister and have her listen, too.

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

Marvin Peterson here is famously nicknamed "Hannibal." Some other nicknames among his bandmates here:

"Gov," "Spare Time," and "Wild Child."

10:36am Van in DC:

Me really likey this

10:36am Matt from Springfield:

Hi Doug! Glad to be listening in on a Friday morning again!
For the last week I had to wait for someone to leave to listen in the afternoon to WFMU--long story with this computer!

10:37am Paul Sherratt:

Lore, various odd elements came together so that DL and the late great Eddie LeJeune toured the UK some 25 or so years ago. He stayed with us for a couple of the dates. He's a very fine human being.

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
Listener Rey has made hay and dropped some dineros. Thank you SO much Rey!

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Glad you finally kicked them out, Matt in Springfield!

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

We are $85 away from 50%. Yow. Za.

10:40am Matt from Springfield:

@Doug :) Yeah, my computer wasn't fixed, I just kicked people out early for this!
Actually it's half-empty in here now, I wouldn't have a problem finding an open computer anyway.

10:42am Matt from Springfield:

Give some to THIS drummer!!

10:42am Matt from Springfield:

And while we're at it, give some to DOUG, the Drummer bringing this to you! :)

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Drummer here is Jimmy Cobb. Played most famously with Miles.

10:44am Matt from Springfield:

Jimmy Cobb Salad, makes for a wonderful jazz lunch!

10:49am Jeff G:

I tend to prefer the basic Grant Green Salad.

10:51am jill:

with a little Art Pepper sprinkled on top

10:52am Fiveash:

Served with braised Bud Shank

10:53am Uncle Michael:

As long as they never run out of chops.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

It always winds up with food and drink on this comments board.

10:54am Fiveash:

And a big pot of Gerry Mulli... aw, forget it.

10:55am Matt from Springfield:

Good dishes, everyone!

10:55am ED:

WHY NO FLASH STREAM?

10:56am Matt from Springfield:

Smokey...and Sister! :D

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

I actually had some Wallace "Cheese" Reed ready to go in that cajun set.

10:57am holland oats:

L&N ACK I LOVE THIS!!!

10:57am Uncle Michael:

Circuit of the Americas looks amazing.

10:57am ndbob:

Rare Robert Johnson record turns up at Jerry's Records

http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/ae/music/rare-robert-johnson-record-turns-up-at-jerrys-records-662343/#ixzz2COy6722I

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

@Ed
Flash streams for Give the Drummer Radio and the other alt streams at WFMU are in the works.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

Jerry's Records is about 150 seconds away from my house.

10:59am Matt from Springfield:

Alternately, Larry & Vicki -- that would sound good if they were British.

I played this lost duo to my parents, who took great interest in them. My Dad thought the voices sounded familiar, then compared them to "the lost Davy Jones/Cher duets". I hear bits of them in their voices.

10:59am jill:

ndbob - thanks for that article.

11:01am Hugo:

How about a show from Jerry's Records, with nothing but records sold at the store?

11:01am Matt from Springfield:

That's GREAT to know, Doug!
Once WFMU gets back up on her feet, I'm glad there are plans to keep on soaring ever higher!

11:04am Jeff G:

Just: Don Cherry.

11:05am Matt from Springfield:

Oooh, this is great, sounds like early Todd Rundgren.

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff
You saying I should've popped some Cherry in that last set?

11:07am Matt from Springfield:

@Doug: Well, it would have been the cherry on top of the last set.

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

@Matt in Springfield
A much nicer image. Thanks for classing up the joint.

11:09am vintage ads:

"Cherry Pop, Cherry Pop,
the magic treat,
as much fun to make
as it is to eat!"

11:11am Andrew in Toronto:

Poor, sad Peter Laughner! I always feel a bit weepy when I hear his voice. It is the same thing I feel when I hear an Arthur Russell song. Anyone else feel that way? Thanks for playing him. As alway, I love your show.

11:11am Jeff G:

Just keeping the food thing going...?

Lurv this Peter Laughner LP. Sad, for sure.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Lotta dead-too-young men in this set.

11:13am Matt from Springfield:

**takes cigarette out of gold plated cigarette case, places in gold cig holder**

EXCELLENT Peter Laughner--where's a good place to begin with his music?

11:14am Jessie:

Engine Driver! What a good choice!

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Agree with everything you said, Andrew in Toronto.

11:15am Uncle Michael:

I'm late to the Decemberists party. My Viva Radio show this week was all murder songs and I included The Rake's Song.

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Agree with everything you said, Jessie.

11:17am Jeff G:

@Matt: the comp Doug played is all the Laughner you'll need -- possibly all the Laughner there is?

11:17am Matt from Springfield:

Yeah! And one of my all-time fave beds too, Oliver Sain!

11:18am Van in DC:

Oooooh. Love this Oliver Sain bed music

11:18am Matt from Springfield:

"Take the Guitar Player for a Ride"...thanks muchly Jeff! I'll check that out.

11:19am Paul Sherratt:

Decemberists now hooked up with Tucker Martine, isn't that so ?

11:21am ndbob:

I remember seeing Smokey and his Sister singing "Creators of Rain" on Baltimore TV

11:21am Paul Sherratt:

The name Tucker Martine just shook hands with itself, mid Atlantic ..

11:24am Van in DC:

Matt - http://theunblinkingear.blogspot.com/2008/09/out-of-print-digital-relics-peter.html

11:26am Rates beyond banker walls:

The brief path from 0-70% of the WFMU overall shows decent progress, no?

11:27am Paul Sherratt:

Talking of the 40,000 tracks does anyone know ANYTHING about item ' 03 Same Age Boys ' Internet searches has certain drawbacks ... they must be from Zimbabwe I suppose.

11:29am Uncle Michael:

Doug has the cabana key.

11:31am Matt from Springfield:

Friends supporting each other -- a friend in need, is a friend in deed!

11:31am Matt from Springfield:

Wow, thanks Van! :)

11:32am Matt from Springfield:

Will DL that when I get home.

11:32am Uncle Michael:

Are Friends eclectic?

11:33am Hugo:

Thinking of "sad boys" and "pain", can't help thinking of Kevin Coyne. Some very dark sentiments in there, right from the debut Case History.

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

@Rates beyond banker walls
WFMU getting to 70% is just brilliant. The committment and loyalty of the WFMU community is gobsmacking.

11:36am Uncle Michael:

Where is Now from? I'm wild-ass-guessing Oakland, CA.

11:38am Paul Sherratt:

Uncle,
Friends are ' Eclectic '
Eclectic, the most abused word in the BBC dictionary.
Hugo,
Never got to see the wonderful Kevin Coyne. And recently we lost Michael Marra. Same applied there too.

11:38am Matt from Springfield:

@UM: WFMU friends certainly are eclectic, if that's what you mean!

11:40am Matt from Springfield:

@Paul: To cut back on "eclectic", instead spell out what it means to you. I would replace eclectic with "diverse beyond description".

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

On the other side of this 5th Dimension cover of Traffic is a cover of a Bacharach/David track.

11:40am Matt from Springfield:

Whoa! Didn't realize Marilyn and Billy and the 5th Dimension covered this Dave Mason/Traffic number!

11:44am Rates beyond banker walls:

Yeah, so maybe you reach wfmu()normal before Dec 5?

Commercial radio continues to drift into the further reaches awful.

11:45am Matt from Springfield:

No rib jokes, people... ;)

11:48am Uncle Michael:

I'm totally stealing that 5th Dimension track for a Thursday night.

11:49am Uncle Michael:

And where's the Gary Numan pun love?

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Mitt is laughing at our 47%. A donation of $85 will kick us 49¢ past 50%.

11:49am Paul Sherratt:

Matt
I'll go with" diverse beyond description and forever curious "
BBC management think it's when a show plays more than two styles in a 12 month period.

11:50am Hugo:

@Paul: I recently came across an opera for Syd (Barrett) that Kevin Coyne performed with others in Leipzig in 1999. Totally unknown to me.

11:51am Uncle Michael:

The radio concept of the "train wreck" is a myth. Smooth segues are beautiful. So are startling transitions.

11:51am Paul Sherratt:

Hugo,

Gosh .... did I ever get you a copy of the album Kevin made with Brendan Croker ?

11:52am Alex in Illinois:

@Uncle, I noticed it! THe play-on of "Are Friends Electric"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uu6MDdxBork

11:54am Uncle Michael:

Thanks Alex. I thought maybe my mic was off.

11:54am Matt from Springfield:

King of Soul gets ballad-y!

@Paul: Wonderful definition! Your eclectic is more precious than the BBC's anyday!

11:55am Hugo:

@Paul: There are exceptions. Those "On the wire" chaps keep going still. Yes, I did get the Coyne-Croker one. Very much appreciated! That one was never really released, was it?

11:55am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:55am Van in DC:

Wow! This show went too fast! Thank you so much Doug!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you ndbob and Van in DC and everyone!

11:56am Jeff G:

So fast -- wonderful wannaful.

11:57am monica:

another stellar show, doug!

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the great morning, Doug.

11:57am Matt from Springfield:

Always over too fast, but what a ride it is!
Thanks Doug, an amazing and lively show today!

Have a good day and good weekend, Drummers!

11:58am Set that got cut:

We can't wait until next Friday!

11:58am Uncle Michael:

Cold turkey...next Friday.

11:59am Alex in Illinois:

From something I heard on the radio about James Brown, he actualy preferred ballads, but the energetic groove stuff that he did so well drew the crowds

12:01pm Matt from Springfield:

Cool to know, Alex.

12:06pm Paul Sherratt:

Hugo,
I suppose there are quite a few exceptions but management's definition is set at the lowest bar to match their imagination.

No, I don't think that Coyne-Croker was released. But I could be wrong.

2:49pm Van in DC:

I usually am. (wrong)
