Listener comments!

8:16am ausmanx:

there's something terribly seductive about the movement of that finger on top of the clapper board

8:19am Doug Schulkind:

I see what you mean. It's almost superfluous. Like the slow-mo caught it illicitly failing to really doing its job.

🥁

8:33am duke:

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

9:13am SeanG:

Looks like Bird in that gif. Morning people!

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Yes indeed it is, SeanG!

🥁

9:23am listener james from westwood:

Blast 'em! Give 'em some o that tone! Aw, you radio, you mother!

Fun fact: That actor went on to be the incontinent Poppy from those two Seinfeld episodes.

🥁

9:24am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug & sunsations seekers.

Great observation ausmanx.

🥁

9:37am ndbob:

morning new people!

9:37am doca:

hey, peoples!

9:38am northguineahills:

Didn't Fellini say his first passion was to become a clown, but he went into film making instead.

9:39am northguineahills:

hence his homage, "The Clowns".

9:39am jeff gee:

...and fellow Drummerians! [app cut off this part of my comment!]

9:39am listener james from westwood:

That Bodega Pop was indeed some sweet stuff. Glad to see there are still some music blogs evading the banhammer out there.

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
If it's gonna be freezing, then let it be fucking freezing.

Greetings doca! Greetings jeff gee!

Hola to you, Cecile!

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Here's the playlist/archive for Bodega Pop Live with Monrakplengthai's Peter Doolan: wfmu.org...

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Somebody better say something. If I comment four times in a row, this thing is set to explode. WHOOPS!

9:51am glenn:

we can't have that. think of the children.

🥁

9:51am duke:

RIP Comment board

9:51am ausmanx:

BUT YOU'RE MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN EVERYONE ELSE, DOUG. sorry for the caps lock

9:52am Stanley:

Greet peeps.
HI Doug. Just tuned in. I hope I'll hear some blues as it'll suit me perfectly this afternoon.

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

Stanley the manley! Kinda sorta played some blues in the first set. In the sense that everything, when you boil it down, is just the blues — I'll be playing plenty more blues.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

It's an Asha twofer!

9:55am Cecile:

I really gotta work, so I'm gonna lurk.
That rhymes.

9:56am Dominick:

Wowzers!

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

If you were Scottish, Cecile, you'd be larking. While you're warking.

Hey hey Dominick!

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

Would it be terrible of me to say, I wish this particular track were an instrumental. I mean listen to the amazing bass! I want to have that bass's children.

10:00am still b/p:

Nae be sharking or twarking whar ye laborrrr.
Good morning.

🥁

10:01am listener james from westwood:

Incredible pair of Bhosle tracks!

10:01am doca:

Hey, guys, I hardly saw a Bollywood movie, what do you recommend me to start?

10:02am Paul Sherratt:

Cecile, I'll be joining you in the lurking corner ...

10:03am Stanley:

Hey, careful where you're going with that Scottish thing or I'll give yoos a guid torkin'

10:04am ausmanx:

doca, it's not exactly archetypal Bollywood, but if you haven't seen LAGAAN, you should. everyone should.

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Hello and welcome, Paul Sherratt!

10:08am doca:

I'll check that out, @ausmanx

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

@doca
Check out Gumnaam from 1965!

10:10am doca:

Are those ones in which Asha Bhosle sings, @Doug and @ausmanx?

🥁

10:11am Brian in UK:

Heads down Jimmy Stanley is in the hooose.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

@doca
No, Asha doesn't sing for Gumnaam, but her sister, Lata Mangeshkar, does!!

10:13am ausmanx:

doca, yeah, she's in Lagaan. which was the first Bollywood film in ages to actually use synchronised sound.

10:14am Stanley:

Jimmy McStanley, if yer dinnae mind.

10:15am doca:

Oh nice, I'll definitively check out those two.

🥁

10:16am listener james from westwood:

doca, Gumnaam also has the epic Mohd. Rafi cut, "Jaan Pehecan Ho" (sp?) of WFMU and "Ghost World" fame.

10:16am Cecile:

DAMN. listen to Jewel.

🥁

10:17am Brian in UK:

Jimmy MacStanley, the other way is Irish. Pedant speaking.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

You got it, Listener James.

@Cecile
She was Jewel waaay before Jewel was Jewel, amirite?!

10:18am ausmanx:

gumnaam's actually an Agatha Christie adaptation, bizarrely... the Empire died hard

🥁

10:19am Brian in UK:

Well Mr MacStanley are you for pulling out or staying where you are?

10:19am Cecile:

oh, yeah Doug.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Earlier when I was yakking, I said this song provided an exegesis on 1970s television. Of course, I meant to say 1960s television...

10:20am Cecile:

it was 70s television in reruns

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

Here's info about Slim Jenkins and his club in Oakland where Vernon and Jewel are burning it up: oaklandwiki.org...“Slim”_Jenkins

@Cecile
Yes, exactly :-)

10:21am doca:

@james: I know that one! Thanks!

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

Vernon and Jewel were husband and wife and madly in love, on and off stage. Jewel would die of breast cancer a few years later and Vernon was heartbroken for years.

🥁

10:26am listener james from westwood:

Lots of clips of various Bollywood tunes on YouTube, in case sampling a song leads to renting the whole movie. Kishore Kumar clips are also to be eagerly sought.

10:26am Stanley:

@Brian - och, ah's fer freedom.
Scots wha hae

10:28am jeff gee:

holy crap that was good

10:28am still b/p:

What Gertrude said about Oakland itself seems to apply to the link...? ...for me, at least.

10:28am Stanley:

Brian - I'm in fact wearing my 'YES' string vest right now.

🥁

10:30am Brian in UK:

And yer favourite boozer is 'The Two Ways Inn?'

10:36am Stanley:

Nah, I'm barred from the Two Ways. I'm now a devotee of that famed institution Buckfast Abbey

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Weird, the Slim Jekins link doesn't work as a link, but the URL is correct. I'll try it again: oaklandwiki.org...“Slim”_Jenkins

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Nope that is weird. Just type in this text in your browser: http:// (and then) oaklandwiki.org/Harold_“Slim”_Jenkins

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

Long silence in the middle of this...

🥁

10:41am βrian:

Let's try this:

oaklandwiki.org...

10:42am Uncle Michael:

Nerve-wracking radio silence. He's messin' with me.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

βrian, my hero! I kept cuttin' and kept pastin' and kept failin'.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

More quietude. Someone slip Uncle Michael a handkerchief.

🥁

10:44am βrian:

There are some funky characters in the URL that probably shouldn't be there. I "escaped" them.

🥁

10:46am Brian in UK:

Arthur Brown had a song in 1968 called Spontaneous Apple Creation, no relation.

This could be subtitled 'Rebuffering into the Future'

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

"Quote" "unquote," eh, βrian.

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

I am kind of overwhelmed and delighted to sit here trying to count in my head the number of radio stations that would have fired me for playing this track.

10:50am Gwyneth Paltrow:

so THAT'S what happened.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Gwyneth
Your comment smells so clean!

🥁

10:51am βrian:

Phoque 'em! Radio drones!

10:51am Dean:

Who's Dorian?

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Dean! Dorian is this cool modal gal I know.

10:53am glenn:

she's phrygian's hotter sister.

10:53am Dean:

Ionic know better.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, you better scale back those comments, glenn.

🥁

10:54am Brian in UK:

Didn't he have a weakly column?

10:55am Dean:

He likes to column how he sees 'em.

10:55am Sir Wynford C Eagle:

Fine show today. keep it locked to wfmu i say, what o! From deepest dorset, on the jurassic coast, inna ingland

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Wynnie, old chap!

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

Thucydides, there I have written it.

@Sir Wynford C Eagle were you in anyway responsible for Lymeswold cheese?

11:01am Jeff Golick (formerly jeff gee):

Genius seque alert!

🥁

11:02am βrian:

And Cambozola it's demise, if the wikipedia article is right.

11:02am Dean:

Speaking of "free," did you see this story about Cecil Taylor? http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/aug/13/jazz-pioneer-cecil-taylor-allegedly-swindled-of-500000-kyoto-prize

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

That is some crazyshit right there, Dean.

🥁

11:03am listener james from westwood:

Just proofread a chapter from an American History textbook that covered Vietnam, the 68 elections, and Tricky Dick. I need to rage-punch something. Which way to Yorba Linda?

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Hahaha! More silence! Hahaha!

11:04am holland oats:

listening in spirit - in practice i'm stuck in a meeting

🥁

11:04am βrian:

Are these textbooks destined for Texas?

11:04am Carmichael:

Hi Doug and Drumsticks.

🥁

11:05am listener james from westwood:

@Dean, that is utterly screwed up.
@Doug: Unlike w/ the terrestrial station, those silences don't make the transmitter touchy!

🥁

11:05am bobdc:

You must have been a big fan of Bent Fabric.

11:05am glenn:

yvan cournoyer? you're secretly canadian, aren't you?

🥁

11:06am listener james from westwood:

Doug, we'll double-date: You punch Ken Burns, I'll punch Tricky Dick's corpse.

🥁

11:06am Brian in UK:

We used to have a Hockey player with Brighton Tigers in the Sixties called Rupe Fresher.

11:12am Cecile:

Duane's great uncle!

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

Secretly Canadian. Isn't that a band?

🥁

11:13am Brian in UK:

Doug, it is a label, I believe.

11:13am Dean:

AKA Russssshhhhh

11:13am joe:

'ello folks

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Then we'll wizz on Ronnie Raygun's plot! It's a date, LJFW!

11:14am joe:

Sorry Doug you were kind low in the background of my typing. Is this the Charlie Parker song?

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Put me on speaker phone, holland oats!!

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Yes. Yes it is, Joe!

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James from Westwood
Henry Kissinger could use a good ragepunch right about forever.

11:17am Dean:

Get your Shakespeare! http://publicdomainreview.org/collections/highlights-from-folger-shakespeare-librarys-release-of-almost-80000-images/

And your hand farts, and your treatise on insane writing...

11:18am northguineahills:

Man, this is a jam!

11:19am joe:

Well it seems that Phish was known to cover the track back in the early 90's. :). Some how I get the feeling without even hearing the Phish version it I'm more the fan of this version.

🥁

11:23am Brian in UK:

Doug, I'll hold HK down whilst you do the business, PLEASE.

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
I used to go to see Shakespeare at the Folger Library as a kid. I remember one particular performance when, during a sword fight on stage, the shaft of one of the actor's swords broke off and flew into the audience striking a pregnant woman. She shrieked the most bloodcurlding shriek, but turned out to be unharmed. The actors were all as terribly shaken as the audience and were ready to call the show quits for the evening and have everyone refunded. But the crowd rallied and implored them to go on and they did, beginning with the sword fight scene from the top. Not a soul was breathing during the scene as the blades clashed metallically in the deafening silence. It seemed to take forever and when the scene ended, the entire house leapt to its collective feet. The cast then continued on to the end and it was thrilling.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

This Anibal Velasquez LP cover is a very NSFW LP cover. (Although the NRA would find it very SFW.): 1.bp.blogspot.com...

🥁

11:26am βrian:

Hence the expression of good luck, "Break a sword."

🥁

11:27am listener james from westwood:

Unexpected drama that night, Doug!! Yow!!

11:27am ndbob:

excellent set here Doug!

11:27am Parq:

H Doug, and all. That Folger story is something else.

11:27am Dean:

Was that the Keystone Kops rendition of the fight scene from Romeo & Juliet?

11:28am Dean:

The NRA is NSFW and they should STFU.

11:28am joe:

What a great experience for a youngster to cement an interest in Shakespeare. It obviously had quite the impact.

I've always preferred Shakespeare in performance to trying to read it myself. Maybe TV just ruined me that much. But I just feel it loses something if not acted.

11:29am Dean:

Except the sonnets. They should be read.

11:29am northguineahills:

The only time I went I went to a Phish concert it was b/c it was free at my college and I wanted to score some....uhmmm... cookies, that's it! Left w/in an hour as I was bored. The year before I saw the Dead right before Jerry died, that was a lot more fun.

11:30am joe:

@northguineahills Well at least you got to hear the first half of the first song :)

11:30am Uncle Michael:

I'm setting up snacks and refreshments in the next room. www.wfmu.org...

11:31am Jesse K:

belated hellow to everyone!

🥁

11:32am βrian:

@NGH: Was that concert in Vermont?

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Parq! Pleasings Jesse K!

🥁

11:34am Brian in UK:

@Uncle is there lashings of ginger beer?

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of NSFW, and now a song about cunnilingus.

🥁

11:35am listener james from westwood:

UM, save me a couple of beers; will arrive after lunch and a much-needed escape from the work-hole.

🥁

11:35am Brian in UK:

Related to John Martyn's Big Muff.

🥁

11:36am βrian:

foundmagazine.com...

11:36am Dean:

I always thought this song was about that Lloyd Bridges TV show.

11:38am still b/p:

Yes, C Hunt.

11:38am Carmichael:

Doug, here's some info on Joe Harriott. Is that what you were asking for? www.allmusic.com...

11:38am ken:

killin

🥁

11:38am Brian in UK:

@βrian do you think they were practicing their spelling, could have been a crossword clue.

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael will provide edutainment for the next three hours, over here: wfmu.org...

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy still b/p! Yowza, ken!

🥁

11:39am βrian:

My guess is divine inspiration.

11:41am Uncle Michael:

Today, I'm going with disinfotainment.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
Oh goody goody. Thanks! Will devour it after the show. Thanks!

11:43am ken:

i didn't know pork pie hat sung the blues...or not.

11:44am ken:

have mercy

🥁

11:46am Brian in UK:

Merciless as ever, Doug.

11:47am Jubilation T. Crackpipe:

Cunnilingus? Them's fancy words.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Different Lester Young!

🥁

11:47am βrian:

Love that railroad guitar trill ...

11:47am Dean:

The Latin tongue

11:48am Uncle Michael:

The French they are a funny race, they fight with their feet and...

11:48am ken:

chooglin

🥁

11:50am listener james from westwood:

Ecchh, the next chapter of the book relegates Carter to a single heading, of course using the "M" word.

11:50am Secrets2Success:

Trace the letters of the alphabet. Think cuneiform.

🥁

11:50am listener james from westwood:

Must roll out to lunch, but greatly thankful for the fine show, Doug! Back in 90 for some postprandial lis'nin!

11:51am Dean:

"Prandium" is Latin, too.

11:51am Uncle Michael:

malais?

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Cajun Hart. Black or white? The Internet says blue-eyed soul. What do you think?

11:52am Uncle Michael:

See you later, james.

🥁

11:52am Brian in UK:

Think where cuneiform came from, Mesopotamia, the sad country that is Iraq.

🥁

11:52am βrian:

It's uncle Michael up against the call of Chicken Kefta with hummus.

11:52am Uncle Michael:

black-skinned, blue-eyed boy?

11:53am ken:

this set is sticky

11:53am Uncle Michael:

I have something weird planned for today...if that helps tilt the scales.

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

The Kolettes. Black or white? (Just kidding. They are fluorescent.)

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Bad mouse maneuver on my part. I apologize to each and every Kolette and all their descendants.

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:

Warner Bros would put Cajun Hart on the Colgate side.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

See you all over in the show where the mice all freaking behave or get fed to the cat.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

The Soul Notes speak for us all.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for helping me find my Hinky Dinky pre-show happy place, once again, Doug!

11:56am ndbob:

Pretty sure the Kolettes record also came out on Chess

11:56am ndbob:

.. and excellent show Doug!

11:56am ken:

love the room sound in the recording. it sounds like they put one microphone from a mono wollensack in the corner and just rolled. love the slight reverb on the guitar.

11:56am northguineahills:

A nice groovy morning Doug, thanks!

11:57am Uncle Michael:

I love this. Is it a demo?

🥁

11:57am duke:

Another fine show from GTDS Inc.

11:57am still b/p:

Enjoyment-wise, this is the polar opposite of Workin' For The Weekend.

🥁

11:58am duke:

Really like this Eccentric Soul stuff

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Yes, ken. It has a live-in-the-studio sound.

Dunno, Uncle Michael. Couldn't find any info on this other than the new Numero Group release of the Eccentric Soul comp.

11:58am Stanley:

Yeah, thats me, you and the others.
Thanks Doug for helping me through the day.
Time now for a beer.
Brian, you coming?

12:00pm Dominick:

🥁

12:01pm Brian in UK:
