Listener comments!

🥁

7:29am Brian in UK:

Hello Boss, quick hello/goodbye. Shifting furniture in Somerset. Sounds like a Richard Brautigan title.

8:04am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, Brian in UK! So sorry about the Suárez beatdown yesterday.

8:40am ausmanx:

England deserved it, Australia did not... we were robbed, again! However, i was surprised at how well the US played. Klinsmann is something of a wizard... evening Doug and Brian!

8:42am Doug Schulkind:

Good evening, ausmanx! What amazing project are you working on now? A consolation fruit basket for Tim Cahill perhaps?

8:50am ausmanx:

i have been editing captions for classic world cup matches this week, nice work. but you have to pay a price... they've run out of video, and now i have to do the unspeakable Andre Rieu. i suspect that's the first and only time he'll be mentioned on your comments board. you have Tim in NY now, lucky folk...

8:50am Maggie B.:

top of the morning, drummers one and all! don't know about everyone else, but i am in serious need of sonic caffeine.

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

Get ready for some triple-espresso sounds, Maggie B! The spoon will stand up straight in this baby!

8:52am Maggie B.:

yay! my favorite drumista!

8:53am Gary:

Jimminy, lookit them fingers! I gotta go jump in the shower -- hold off on the super-awesomeness for 10 mins or so!

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

You got it, Gary. Cleanliness trumps all.

8:56am Maggie B.:

ausmanx, i'm also editing captions (for photos). most of this week it was all World War One, all the time. today it's on to the even cheerier atomic testing on amchitka island.

8:58am doca:

Hey, Doug, Gary, Maggie, ausmanx, Brian! Today I'll listen GTD live!

8:58am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

I Rieu the day you brought up André here, ausmanx.

9:00am Uncle Michael:

This is my favorite thing!

9:00am Holly in NC:

Morning! Unlike Gary, I am reveling in my unwashed state. Pointless to shower before doing some outside work.

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Don't go in the shower, Holly!! There could be spiders. (At least not the fish-eating kind. I can only hope.)

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, ndbob!

9:03am ausmanx:

i'd not witnessed Andre before... it's far worse than i ever imagined. is there an andre eating spider yet to be discovered? that fish eating one was disturbing. photo captions are damn important, m.

9:07am northguineahills:

ughhh, got nearly no sleep due to sirens around 6, and construction truck beeps starting at 7. I have an interview at 11. I was aiming at 4 hours of sleep (i was still studying late), It's probably not advisable to reschedule, right? I might as well try to power through and sleep this afternoon.

9:07am tikk:

Fridays are so much more bearable knowing there's six hours of Doug > Uncle Michael.

9:07am northguineahills:

The Manx flag always struck me as similar to the Sicilian flag.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya tikk! Glad you've latched on and are sucking the music. This is a tweezer-free zone.

Morning to you, Mr. NGH!

9:09am ausmanx:

ngh, yep, that's where the symbol comes from (as does the swastika, of course). next week though, Doug, i'm doing the subtitles with a Cambodian translator for a new feature about Cambodian Space Project and 60s Cambodian rock...

9:10am Alex In Illinois:

Sounds like Sailor's Hornpipe to me

9:11am ndbob:

Yep Alex it does.. and ausmax looking forward to the Cambodian rock feature

9:12am Gary:

Why did no one tell me about the spiders *before* I jumped in?

9:13am d¢ pät:

Ich bin erkältet
Ich habe einen Schnupfen

9:14am d¢ pät:

swastika comes from old Indian religious symbols (Asian AND N. American Indians)

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
I do believe you're right! That melody has been given 100 different titles, methinks.

@ausmanx
Some Cambodian sounds coming up (courtesy of the great Bodega Pop blog).

@d¢ pät
I couldn't have shprekken that any better myself.

9:14am ndbob:

@Doug did you hear about yesterdays Bethesda news - a bear strolling around NIH grounds

9:15am d¢ pät:

[from Nina Hagen song but unfortunately rings true with me today...]

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Did Flo Bert just sing about "dark oblivion"? Wow! I missed that on my preparatory listen.

9:19am Alex In Illinois:

@ndbob: That beats the bear that was wandering around the far west Chicago suburbs the other day. The NIH has laboratories, right? Can they mix up some drugs to give the bear?
I should ask my sister. She lives in Mt. Rainier Maryland and sometimes does work for the NIH.

9:21am ndbob:

www.washingtonpost.com...

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Louis Armstrong on cornet behind Coot and Wesley!

9:23am Gary:

@ndbob, apparently the bear hadn't heard the REM song

9:26am Guido from Cologne:

Friday afternoon is "Give the drummer"-time!
Hello Everyone!

9:26am Alex In Illinois:

ndBob and Gary: Maybe it was in Rockville to try to catch a bus.

9:26am ndbob:

lol Gary:)

9:31am Gary:

@Ausmanx, I saw Cambodian Space Project at DROM here in NYC a few months ago -- they were terrific

9:35am Holly in NC:

@ngh - What a crappy night/morning! I'll be sending good wished your way.

9:37am Guido from Cologne:

Loved Isobel Campell's version of this song here ...

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

So glad to see you, Guido from Cologne!

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

You can nap to this tune, NGH.

9:43am marcury:

Good Morning, Long time no listen

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Marcury!!

9:46am northguineahills:

Jack Rose!

Thanks Holly & Doug! I might just have to nap through the WC today, I'm feeling more alert, abrigado!

9:46am Gary:

This gweetahr action is sublime

9:47am Gary:

Good luck on your interview, NGH

9:47am tikk:

This matches the gif.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Damn, you're right, tikk!

9:47am tikk:

Except I'm guessing that's a bass in the gif.

9:49am Gary:

Is that a five-stringed bass?

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Details, details tikk.

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Not sure, Gary, but it appears to be a five-fingered bass player. Does that help?

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

"The bigger the house, the harder the tear falls."

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Google Maps:

We could not understand the location saunders ferry lane
Suggestions:
Make sure all street and city names are spelled correctly.
Make sure your address includes a city and state.
Try entering a zip code.

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

I can honestly say that I have never, not even once, been in an Alabama Frame of Mind.

9:58am marcury:

I keep getting that Google Maps error when i enter my home address

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

You're off the grid, marcury.

10:00am tikk:

That's a pretty gorgeous number by Shelby Lynne; love that Santos & Johnnyish guitar in the middle.

10:00am Alex In Illinois:

Saunders Ferry Park in Hendersonville Tennessee, with a Saunders ferry road nearby,
www.recreationparks.net...

10:00am rogue oats:

the rogue is with you drumma. hullo all -- FRIDAY & WHATNOT!!!

10:01am rogue oats:

i was googling that skynrd guy wearing that neil young tee shirt this morning, about as alabama as i've been in awhile

10:02am Guido from Cologne:

5-fingered Bass-player seems somewhat odd.
The majority is 10-fingered I guess.

10:02am Gary:

Gerry Goffin, RIP: www.mercurynews.com...

10:03am Alex In Illinois:

It seems that one can be in Alabama with a Tennessee frame of mind if you mean Mobile Alabama, and Memphis Tennessee, as in Stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues again.

10:06am Alex In Illinois:

Maybe it was a local pronunciation. My sister-in-law is from Pittsburgh and her mother's boyfriend speaks with what I thought was some kind of Scottish accent, but is actually a Pittsburgh accent.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

Good point, Guido!

@Alex in Illinois
There was nothing else "accent-y" in the read of that commercial. It also wasn't a professional voice-over actor. It's a local commercial that the radio station produced. Probably grabbed some board-op to do the read.

10:09am Gary:

DDD synopsis, c/o rAjOo: "Neeta is a heiress, the only daughter of U.K. based Industrialist, Jagat Narayan. She is of marriageable age, and is presently wooed by Kailash, Chandra, and Raja. She prefers Chandra over Kailash and Raja, but subsequently changes her mind and falls in love with Raja. Things take a dramatic turn when Jagat and Neeta find out that Raja is not who is claims he is. When Raja defends himself, and calls himself Roop, his very own mother denies this claim, and instead states that Chandra is Roop, her only son. Raja alias Roop must now make attempts to prove himself, and realizes that this is indeed an uphill task."

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

Sounds Shakespearean, Gary!

R.I.P. Chiyoko: ajw.asahi.com...

🥁

10:11am duke:

I'm late. What did I miss?

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

No problem, duke. We only just finished approving the minutes from last week's gathering.

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

This Cambodian nugget comes from the sonic Eden that is Bodega Pop!: bodegapop.blogspot.com...

🥁

10:15am Artie:

@duke: Just some subtitled, unwashed, futbolling bear spiders up on the roof.

10:15am northguineahills:

Wow, I remember Chiyoko's 'Jinsei Iroiro' when I was a wee navy brat. Didn't know it was her. Ok, off I go, thanks for the support everyone!

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Go get 'em NGH!

Howdy Artie!

10:17am ausmanx:

damn fine, doug. i've had to stop Andre, he was making me ill. the cambodian film has some pretty amazing footage they've been recovering form farmhouses in the villages. everyone was in a band there then!

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

GTDS QUIZ:
How many packs of what did Adoniran Barbosa smoke per day?

OK.... go!

10:17am doca:

Adoniran! I love this song!!

10:18am doca:

Hahah Adoniran is just funny naturally, Doug. Do you know Bezerra da Silva? It's in the same vein

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

doca! Glad you heard it!

🥁

10:18am duke:

@artie as long as there weren't wolf and moose spiders too, then it's ok.

10:19am Holly in NC:

Heartwarming vid (no spiders!)

www.liveleak.com...

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Yes! I love Bezerra, too. You can curl up and fall asleep in the voices of these gentlemen!

10:19am doca:

I thought you would continue with the Japanese mood eheh

10:20am doca:

When I'll revive the blog I'll translate some of their songs, but they're hard, lots of wordplay and jokes in both.

10:21am Gary:

Super love for this set, and for that Italian chain-smokin guy, esp. ;-)

🥁

10:21am duke:

@Holly What is that cat stuck in and how did it get there?

10:21am Gary:

Doca, what's your blog?

10:23am Uncle Michael:

I'm making stealthy, spy moves around my house.

10:23am doca:

@Gary: brazil70translationproject.wordpress.com

10:23am Gary:

Holy crap, never mind, it's that awesome Brazilian blog!

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

He was Brazilian, actually, Gary.

More great sounds, courtesy of Gary Sullivan's Bodega Treasure Chest: bodegapop.blogspot.com...

10:23am Stanley:

Doug, listeners, I'm here at last!
Its hot enough to boil a monkey's bum here in Scotland

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

I prefer lighty sautéed monkey bum, Stanley. With olive oil, thyme and sea salt.

10:25am Uncle Michael:

That's normally a Sunday night staple in Scotland, yes? Seems rather grand for a Friday.

10:25am Gary:

@Doug, it was a reference to his real last name (which sounded Italian, which is why he changed it to Barbosa) ;-)

10:25am doca:

@Doug: I got a 4-CD set with a 230-page book of Casa Edison's (Brazil's first recording company) at the university library. Do you know any of it? I was thinking about ripping the CDs and scanning the book to put on the web.

10:26am ndbob:

@doca sounds really interesting

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

I would love to see/hear that, doca!

10:27am Gary:

YES PLEASE DOCA

🥁

10:27am Artie:

@duke - They're using a spring compressor on a coil spring in what looks like the rear suspension of a vehicle.

10:27am doca:

Nice! I'll get it again after the library comes back from the strike/World Cup (a very convenient time to be on strike, I must say).

10:28am doca:

There's also another 15-CD set called "Memórias musicais" which collects Brazilian recordings from 1900 to 1930. I think they both overlap themselves at some point, but I'll check it later and upload it here.

10:28am Holly in NC:

@duke - I have no idea - video was embedded as the "antidote de jour" in today's edition of the depressing & wonky (but wonderful) link aggregator over at Naked Capitalism. Which I highly recommend, fwiw.

10:30am Holly in NC:

@Stanley - Where are you? Friends of mine just arrived in Aberdeen for a month-long stay.

10:32am Uncle Michael:

Guts on my sleeves. I've been plumbing the depths of...umm....

10:32am Guido from Cologne:

@doca
Want that!

10:32am marcury:

Devastated I missed the Ornette tribute!

🥁

10:33am bobdc:

Sonny Rollins at an Ornette Coleman tribute at the Prospect Park bandshell? I miss Brooklyn.

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

Sorry Gary, I know I should never doubt you.

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

@doca
Do you know this collection: www.brazilcult.com...

I have it and it is wonderful.

10:36am doca:

@Doug: Portuguese has a tricky pronunciation indeed for an English-speaker. Just as a note, Adoniran's songtitle translate as "My Adress is in the back", as it narrates what the guy said in a letter to a patron of his who lent him money to buy his house (that's why the address). It ends with the singers asking the "Doctor" to visit him at his house. Much of Adoniran's songs are very acute social comments on the lives of the historically poor.

10:36am ausmanx:

thanks doug, i am purged of the dutch poison. 1 am here, so off to watch Italy draw with Costa Rica thereby eliminating England... see you next week!

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

Cheers, ausmanx. I am rooting for Italy. If England hold on for another few hours of hope it will be all the more entertaining...

Thanks for the translation, doca!

10:41am doca:

@Doug; Wow, cool! I never got my hands around that compilation, it must be awesome (Do you mind putting it online someday? eheh).
I know there's a book comparing Mário de Andrade and Bela Bártok's "etnographic missions". I think both maintained correspondence at some time, which would be very interesting to see.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

There is something amusing to explain about this Golowin/Gulda recording. I'll tell you later.

@doca I will happily send you that collection. Send me an email and I will get the files to you.

10:45am doca:

Thanks, @Doug! I'll contact you later.

Gonna turn off, I have a Midsummer party tonight and I'm thinking about making an African music playlist to cheer them all up later. See ya!

10:46am Guido from Cologne:

Connection to Swiss poet Sergius Golowin (he was host for Tim Leary or sth. ...)

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

Different Golowin family, Guido. I will explain...

10:49am Gary:

My GF is dragging me off to the Union Square farmers market in a bit ... great show so far as usual, Doug -- and I am so so so looking forward to listening to the South African show (probably this weekend) .. have a lovely day, everyone!

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

Pick me up some okra, Gary!

10:52am Gary:

Okra dokra!

10:53am ndbob:

@Doug I know that collection

10:55am Stanley:

@Holly in NC Hi, sorry just back at the controls now. I'm in Edinburgh, quite some distance form the Granite City. I believe the weather's pretty good there, too. Though usually its rather dreech.

@UM - that's Deep Fried monkey's bum, if you don't mind

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
The site I linked to has that box set going for $527. Time for me to sell!

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Bye doca. Glad you were here!

11:01am Dean:

Love that Augustus Pablo (note spelling of first name). Saw him live in LA many years ago.

11:02am marcury:

Bert Turetsky was THE classical bass pedagogue of the 20th century in New York

11:02am Holly in NC:

@Stanley - That's why I was surprised, lots of coats & sweaters & rain gear was packed...

11:02am ndbob:

@Doug I saw that.. only mp3s for me - have to check to see if I still have them

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

Figures you'd know him, Marcury.

Thanks for catching the typo, Dean!

11:09am still b/p:

Hello.

Unhappily missed hours #1 & 2 doing errands and fetching bike from where I left it yesterday after one of the most unusual mangly-seizure breakdowns I ever experienced.

As I understand it, when it's really hot in Scotland, monkey bums boil but Robert Burns.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings still b/p. Pull up a soft cushion and have a comfy listen.

11:15am Jeff Golick:

S'up, all.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

'allo Jeff Golick!

11:24am marcury:

This sounds like Fela meets Tom Zé

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Right on, marcury, right on.

11:29am mr c:

late to party today...

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

No problem, Mr. C! Just hit that rewind button over in the corner.

11:34am Uncle Michael:

But you brought more ice...so it's cool.

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking ice ice, baby, please continue listening at the top of the hour to Uncle Michael's HINKY DINKY TIME broadcast! Here it will be: wfmu.org...

11:39am Dean:

Is he singing about the forest in which the tree fell?

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

I didn't hear it, Dean. I guess you had to be there.

11:44am Holly in NC:

You go, September!

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Someone should introduce September Jones to January Jones.

11:46am Uncle Michael:

April Stephens...

11:46am Dean:

April may.

11:47am Jeff Golick:

Tuesday Weld?

11:48am Uncle Michael:

Wednesday Addams

11:48am Dean:

Wednesday Addams

🥁

11:48am duke:

Wednesday Friday Addams?

11:49am marcury:

Wednesday Addams

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

I love you guys.

11:50am Holly in NC:

Oh man, Billy Butler. His version of "I Just Can't Work No Longer" goes on every mix tape I've ever made for work, when I worked for others :-)

11:50am Dean:

Susan Dey ... er, Moms Mabley? Aristophanes? Charles Dickens.

11:50am Uncle Michael:

Duke loses points for showing off.

11:51am Wednesday Addams:

You bellowed?

🥁

11:51am duke:

That means I have negative points

11:52am Dean:

Now I understand why this show is called, "Give the Drummer Some"! Who is it?

11:52am ndbob:

@holly a great one!

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Who had a huuuge Susan Dey crush when they were young (and right this very minute, probably)? Raise of hands?

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

You are all the drummers, my children.

🥁

11:54am duke:

Some great soul songs in this set

11:55am Dean:

Melvin Parker, who worked with James Brown and brother Maceo

11:56am Jeff Golick:

:::raised hand emoji:::

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

This music pales in comparison to the massive selections Uncle Michael has ready to go for you: wfmu.org...

11:57am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:58am Uncle Michael:

Don't belieb the hype.

🥁

11:58am duke:

Thanks, great show as always

11:58am Dean:

All Wagner, all the time, Uncle?

11:58am Uncle Michael:

Thanks Doug...see you all shortly.

11:58am Holly in NC:

MOST excellent, Doug, thank you.

11:59am Stanley:

Yeah, what Holly said.
Bye Doug, til next time

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Love you all. See you Tuesday. And Wednesday. And September.

🥁

12:01pm bobdc:

Great show Doug, as always!

9:09am Paul Sherratt:
