🥁

9:00am Brian in UK:

Doug, I can feel your aura.

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Actually, the program is three auras, Brian. Settle in for the long haul.

🥁

9:01am listener james from westwood:

How do, Doug and all Kirlian komrades!

🥁

9:01am doctorjazz:

Time for some Drummer action!

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

Delighted to have you, listener james! Take a seat on the chaise longue, doctorjazz!

9:05am Uncle Michael:

Did you just say "Hippy Dippy Time"?

9:07am Doug Schulkind:

Same difference, Uncle Trippy.

9:08am Mr C:

Hey Bo Diddley: Before you recuse me, take a look at yourself!

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Recuse me while I kiss the sky, Mr C.

9:10am Artie Haywire:

Ringing in from the 919 aura code. G'mornin'!

9:11am Alex In Illinois:

G' Mornging.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Artie "919" Haywire!

Yee-haw, Alex in Illginois!

🥁

9:14am Brian in UK:

This gal aint slowhand, she's four hand.

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

How, do you suppose, you end up with the nickname "Papa Egg Shell"?

9:19am glenn:

ummmm, you work for benjamin moore?

9:20am Lore:

Doug: I realize that I point out the coincidences between my life & your programming all the time, but…just last night I was going through records to sell at the FMU fair & I pulled out the Jumping on the Hill LP on Policy Wheel. I thought, there’s no way I can sell this, it has “Squinch Owl Moan!”

🥁

9:20am listener james from westwood:

Doug, apologies if this has been asked/answered here on prev. playlists, but will you be in Jersey City for any part of the Marathon?

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

And the Academy Award for the Best Performance imitating the sound of a squinch owl in song goes to...

9:21am Andy in Etobicoke:

Good morning Doug and all percussively inclined.
Urban farm report: A brisk, windy and sunny 23 degrees fahrenheit.

9:21am Webhamster Henry:

Are you getting to any Deep Snake Moaning today?

🥁

9:21am doctorjazz:

Just love this old blues stuff!(Great owl!)

🥁

9:22am listener james from westwood:

My next-door neighbor makes sounds like that. He has less control over it, though.

🥁

9:22am duke:

Rattlesnake Cooper is a great name.

🥁

9:23am doctorjazz:

Selling records, huh? Got some stuff (probably lots of stuff) I could get rid of (but I always think of the fair as a place to get MORE stuff I don't need).

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Lore
Great minds squinch alike!

@listener james
Terribly sadly, no. I can't loose the chains of grad school to come east.

GOOD MORNING
Andy in Etobicoke
Ebbie in Artichoke
Webhamster Henry
duke

🥁

9:25am listener james from westwood:

Fully understand; sharing your sadness but happy at the eventual result of a degree!

9:26am Uncle Michael:

(stares into oatmeal)

Those better be raisins.

9:28am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! squinching squinchers!

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

@listener james
Fingers x'd. I'll believe that degree when I see it.

Helloooooooo, holland oooooats!

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

ooooooooo!

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

His humming voice sounds like an oboe here. Amazing!

9:34am Flash Strap:

sleepy man shamblin' in

good morning glories, bless this day bless this doug

🥁

9:34am doctorjazz:

Always really impressed by folks who go back for degrees AFTER they already have responsibilities, family, bills, etc.

🥁

9:39am listener james from westwood:

UM, all I ask of the bits in my oatmeal is that they remain stationary.

9:40am Webhamster Henry:

If I were too tight, I'd probabaly also moan liked a squinch owl too.

9:42am Uncle Michael:

I normally think of "squinch" as a verb.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

Flash Strap, my revered brother in sound!

9:44am Stanley:

Folks!
Joy has arisen in the beleaguered heart.
Not only is it Friday afternoon but my new tee shirts have arrived.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Stan-lee! Stan-lee! Stan-lee!

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

John Bakker performing as "Sleepy John Baker"; Henk Jansen, performing as "Downy Boy Jason."

🥁

9:54am Brian in UK:

Stanley you will be the talk of the Fool & Bladder tonight.

9:56am Jeff Golick:

Doug, will your school work this time result in your getting the third degree?

On a more serious note, it appears that Misha Mengelberg has left us and joined the next sphere.

9:57am Jeff Golick:

(According to this Dutch article and google translate, anyway: nos.nl...)

9:57am fred:

Hello Doug and all

🥁

9:57am doctorjazz:

Sad to hear about Misha Mengleberg, great musician.

9:58am Stanley:

Hi Brian - I usually time my 'T-shirt reveal' moment perfectly

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Hello fred! Goodbye Misha! Hello Jeff!

🥁

10:01am Brian in UK:

I've got them P-B Blues now what do I do with them?

10:02am Stanley:

Follow my instructions very carefully..............

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
When you've got the P-B Blues, go get some jelly.

🥁

10:09am doctorjazz:

Not familiar with Catherine Irwin, but she has one of those voices that gets under your skin (in a good way). A bit like Iris Dement (in feel, not so much that I'd confuse them).

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Brand new one from Alasdair Roberts, coming up!

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
I know of one dog in England that does not like Iris DeMent's voice. I disagree with that pup. Catherine Irwin is one half of the duo Freakwater, with Janet Bean.

🥁

10:14am doctorjazz:

I've heard of Freakwater, though also haven't heard them (so much music, so little time...). More stuff to check out.

10:18am still b/p:

Morning.
I just tried to log in with one of my passwords for a different site. Is that good luck or bad luck or evidentiary gold for an antagonist in a competence hearing?

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Open sesame, still b/p.

10:20am Little Danny:

G'morning one and Doug and all

10:23am Maggie B.:

Greetings from Lower Manhattan, all.

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Little Danny is here, y'all!

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Mother Maggie B! (Will you still be my mommy?!)

10:24am Maggie B.:

i sure hope so Doug!

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Rufus Wainwright is so so splendid.

10:24am Mr C:

A Rufus Wainwright sighting on the Drummer..

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

You're the only one I've got, dear Maggie.

🥁

10:25am doctorjazz:

Amen to Rufus, think he's just great!

10:25am Maggie B.:

Aw! Then you can count on me always, my loving son!

10:25am Uncle Michael:

I'm glad you like Rufus, Doug. He's on my premium.

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

I like you, Uncle Michael. And you, in a way, are on my premium.

🥁

10:27am doctorjazz:

(Love that Rufus' revolt against his folkie parents was to get involved in Opera)

10:27am Maggie B.:

I can actually see Montgomery St. in Jersey City from my new office digs.

10:32am still b/p:

An acquaintance says a hug that lasts 20 seconds or more has a distinctly measurable favorable effect on the ol' endorphins. And now I've started citing the claim in my personal hug protocol.

🥁

10:32am Sam Segal:

Peace and love, @Doug and Douged!

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie B
Will you and Bill be cooking for the masses this year? I detest missing your lovefeasts.

Sam "Jonathon Livingston" Segal!

10:36am Uncle Michael:

I love that Rufus has covered his father's material.

10:36am Maggie B.:

Bill willl be bringing barbecue stuff and I will make something (to be determined!) but I won't actually be there because I'm trying to conserve my days off from work. So you won't be coming to JC this year?

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Nawp. I have four papers to write in the next month or so. Kinda freaking out.

10:39am Maggie B.:

I forgot you are back in school! don't freak out, you'll do great.

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

Freaking out is, apparently, part of my "process."

10:43am Dave in Vermont:

Freaking out is part of my process too. I know it isn't a good approach or helpful but I keep doing it.

10:44am Maggie B.:

if it works in the end, let your freakout flag fly.

10:44am Jeff Golick:

What is a "Tettet," other than a palindrome?

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

@Dave in Vermont
The best part about the freakout is the chocolate chip cookie bingeing. Because chocolate chip cookies.

@Jeff Golick
I hope you didn't find the tettet offensive.

10:46am David D:

Good day, Doug and all!

The Tettet is definitely music to freak out by - don't know if I could write a paper to it, though. The name of the track is inventive as well.

10:46am Flash Strap:

when I went back to grad school, i had to basically cobble together a BFA in art history on my own over the summer just before. Ended up having to write 64 essays in 4 months, in addition to starting school

I freaked out like a fish swims

10:47am Jeff Golick:

...on the contrary, @Doug!

10:48am Stanley:

Freak Out!

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

I can't write (or read, for that matter) to music. Who am I kidding? I can barely breathe to music.

10:50am Little Danny:

Wow this Surman is so great! Doug you are pretty much singlehandedly leading my education in British and European avantgarde jazz.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Good afternoon, David D!

@Flash Strap
64 essays in 4 months made my brain throw up in its mouth.

10:51am Little Danny:

Huh I can't not write or work to music

10:52am Stanley:

What Diminutive Daniel said.

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Little Danny
Stick with me, kid. I will take you places. (Make sure you are up on all your shots.)

10:52am Stanley:

(The bit about Surman)

10:53am David D:

64 essays? Can't even begin to imagine.

10:54am Scraps:

Misha! No!

(cry)

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Gladness at your arrival, Sir Scraps.

10:57am Flash Strap:

I can basically only write to Debussy, Satie, and field recordings of rain and water... any other kind of work, if there's not music playing I languish! I anguish!

yeah 64 doesn't even sound true. I couldn't believe it when I realized what I had coming. I went through all the stages of grief. and that was just the prologue to getting a masters, which required a lotta scribblin as well

10:59am Scraps:

(I'd been listening, lying down.)

(Can't write lying down -- one working hand, it's complicated.)

10:59am Flash Strap:

boy that last track there was lovely

🥁

11:03am Brian in UK:

Is listening to music on the radio different to listening on your own system at home? What I mean is the perception different because you did not choose it and also the surprise of the unknown.

11:08am Scraps:

Basically, yes. But often, not much. (Sometimes, are.)

11:11am Scraps:

(I do listen nearly always at random, when not listening to FMU. "At random" meaning song by song at random.)

🥁

11:12am doctorjazz:

Much of the time at home I'm listening to music I don't know (as I wind up listening to stuff I've purchased after hearing it here or reading about it). So, not really.
I do need to have some music playing, may not be able to really focus if I'm doing something else, but still need it around. I go nuts if it's not playing.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

If I ever seen an algorithm trying to feed me my musical preferences, I'm gonna punch it in the mouth.

11:14am Scraps:

The only time I listen programmatically is when I purchase and want to know what I listen to. Otherwise, randomly.

11:16am Flash Strap:

everywhere you go now, you're hearing algorithms and it creeps me the fuck out

🥁

11:16am doctorjazz:

Nice to hear about these responsible adults going back to school. I'm going back to adolescence, back to concert going, driving to Philly tonight to see Ryan Adams (I don't even know much ABOUT Ryan Adams, going with a friend). Next is Jello shots...

11:16am Scraps:

Wait, that's not true. I can't listen randomly in my office. And that's aggravating.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

And aggregating.

11:17am Flash Strap:

this GUITAR

11:17am Scraps:

So true.

11:18am glenn:

well, ryan adams and bryan adams have the same birthday, so there's that.

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Oopsie, forgot to say Hi earlier, glenn. I saw your comment and then got distracted.

Hi, glenn!

11:20am Al Gorithm:

Those who enjoyed Kalambya Boys also enjoyed Reine Pélagie

11:20am Jeff Golick:

I go see a band called Ryan and the Bryans.

11:21am Jeff Golick:

*I'd -- hasn't happened yet.

11:21am glenn:

at's okay. it wasn't a great comment.

11:22am Little Danny:

Y'all are nuts. I would love an algorithm telling me what to listen to based on my tastes.

11:23am Al Gorithm:

@Little Danny - the GTDR stream does me

11:24am Al Gorithm:

(I meant the auto-stream thing)

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

If someone could design an algorithm that fucks up and plays me the wrong thing, maybe I'd be interested.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Nothing personal, Al.

11:29am Scraps:

i don't need an algorithm. So far I still have lots of music to try and mostly it works based on reading, etc

11:30am Carmichael:

I would classify any algorithm as "The Man". I am a musical hunter gatherer by nature. "I wanna be free. I wanna be free to hear my music without being hassled by the man. And I wanna get loaded ..."

11:30am Alex In Illinois:

I am a little bummed that I did not write the algorithms.

11:31am Uncle Michael:

Please deign to accompany me across a musical landscape of my choosing, at the top of the hour.

www.wfmu.org...

11:33am Alex In Illinois:

I once bought a Moussa Doumbia album from that record store located in a subway station somewhere under New York City.

11:33am Scraps:

I will, Uncle Michael, even though I maybe not speaking

(language is hard today, even if I'm up, not lying down)

11:34am Flash Strap:

yeah I listen to music as an expression of and remedy for the anxiety of radical freedom-Pandora&co is just letting yourself float down river and get trapped under a comfy log

11:34am Flash Strap:

so i'm with ya carm

🥁

11:37am Brian in UK:

@Jeff how's the ribs holding up?

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

I totally agree, too, Carmichael!

@Alex in Illinois
You are speaking of the amazing Record Mart store. It was in the Times Square subway stop complex. You actually had to pay a token (back when they still had subway tokens) to get in the subway in order get tot he store. I probably purchase 200 salsa records at that place.

11:37am Uncle Michael:

Scraps, maybe I shouldn't be speaking...I think I've got something communicable.

11:39am Scraps:

Though we ARE trying for comfort, at least a little bit: I mean, we aren't deliberately trying for rotten music

11:39am Carmichael:

Mmmm ... ribs!

11:39am Theo In The Netherlands:

Hi Doug, from The Netherlands some sad news, Misha Mengelberg, from the famous ICP Orchestra, has passed away today

11:41am still b/p:

@ Carm -- Proclaim!
www.youtube.com...

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Theo In The Netherlands!! Yes, I read that news earlier. Misha was a wonder. Glad you joined the conversation!

11:42am Scraps:

We are ALERTLY trying. ;-)

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

@Scrap
Remain alert. America needs more lerts.

11:44am Flash Strap:

good point Scraps, though I think the pleasure we try to get from music is less about being comfortable than discovering the ecstatic, sublime, or being awakened to/shown something, that sort of thing. in that way, even "comfort" music does something far more complex to you than a pacification or numbing effect

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Hope no one's allergic to tomatoes.

11:45am Scraps:

Not sleepily trying, comfortywumforty trying

🥁

11:45am JtotheK:

sliced tomatoes! hi doug, hi everyone.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

JtotheeverlovingK!

11:46am Scraps:

Yes, Flash Strap, seriously.

11:48am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

Uncle Michael has thrown another logorithm on the fire. Today's Hinky Dinky Time will be a BURNER! Grab your ear buds and your taste buds and tune in! The show begins in 12 minutes:

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:48am Flash Strap:

I'm still too sleepy to be writing such long-ass comments! I recuse myself from here on out

right on Scraps

11:49am mauri:

A week holiday behind and Im still beat. Hey Doug and hey all.

11:49am Theo In The Netherlands:

should have scrolled back, should have known it was probably earlier known by your listeners, and your part of the world than in mine. Your playlist is always an inspiration, not able to listen live most of the time

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Earlier this set we heard from Lois Lane. How about some Superman?!

@Flash Strap
Never stop sleepwriting!

Howdy, mauri!!

11:50am Uncle Michael:

No matter what I type into my playlist, it comes out "Daisy, Daisy...give me your answer, do..."

Algorithm, schmalgorithm.

11:50am Scraps:

Lying down now. Language hard. Cheers.

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

@Carmichael, I thought that when I wrote it. Do you want fries with that comment.

11:50am Flash Strap:

Superman please

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

@Theo
It's great to jump in whenever with whatever you want to say. You can't assume that others have scrolled back either.

11:52am still b/p:

Just want to take a moment to thank the Drummer stream for being a gateway drug. After Bodega Pop the other night, a Dickie Wells track came on but was interrupted for me. I went to find it on the YouTubes, and listened quite happily for a while to the autoplay series they fed me of Dickie and others. This operation here is a springboardin', catalyzin', path-marking sumbitch, y'know? "Gimme gimme good nudgin', every ni-ight!"

🥁

11:52am JtotheK:

will we hear the sensational guitars of dan and dale performing "robin's theme" (flip of batman theme) next?

🥁

11:52am Brian in UK:

Thanks Doug, very nervous for the marafun this year.

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

still b/p is speaking truth to power, babies.

11:54am Dean:

I rely on logarithms to recommend artists. That's why I currently have about 33,554,432 records still unsealed in a "must hear" pile.

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

JtotheK, I like the way you think.

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:

On Irwin's premium recently, the Tom Wilson special, there was Robin doing a number, when I say number I mean a kind of song.

11:55am Webhamster Henry:

The Bee Gees done right!

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Pretty damn lovely Gibb Brothers cover here.

11:56am Uncle Michael:

I think I could do six hours of covers of this song.

11:56am Stanley:

UM - that'll have all in tears!

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

I think maybe you have, Uncle Michael.

11:58am Stanley:

*us* (I really don't know what's wrong with me today)

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Nothing is wrong, Stanley. Don't change a thing.

11:59am Uncle Michael:

Thanks Doug!

🥁

11:59am listener james from westwood:

Thanks, Doug!

12:00pm Stanley:

You're too kind, Doug.
Ripper show, as always.

🥁

12:00pm doctorjazz:

I'll stay tuned for 3 hours of it.
Great show, have a great weekend!

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Well that was some good clean fun. Thanks for getting down with me, friends!
