WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 05/12/17

Listener comments!

I am singing in the rain showers as I try and finish the shed. Bi-polar weather.
That part in the finale when the orchestra comes in full pelt during the title song is wonderful. And this from a non-musical fan.

8:43am Doug Schulkind:

I hated musicals until I learned to adore them. I credit my beloved Jessie for showing me to the light.

8:43am glenn:

finish the shed. finish the shed. finish the shed.

8:44am glenn:

"finish the shed", the uplifting new musical from the creators of hamilton.

🥁

8:46am Brian in UK:

glenn it is done and so am I.

Featuring 'I've Never 'Felt' Like This Before' & 'The New Roofing Song'.

8:48am glenn:

and "i'm never bored when i'm hanging a door".

8:49am Doug Schulkind:

To "woodshed" in music is to rehearse intensely.

🥁

8:51am Brian in UK:

So in shed or in tents? Discuss.

8:51am glenn:

speaking of, i see the coltrane doc is playing to rave reviews.

8:52am glenn:

and this. - ipolitics.ca...

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

I have not heard good things about the Coltrane doc. I have no plans to see it. I WILL, however, will be rebroadcasting the great 5-hour Coltrane radio documentary, Tell Me How Long Trane's Been Gone, this summer, beginning June 30. One hour a week for five consecutive weeks.

🥁

8:54am Brian in UK:

Hope this does not affect Hugo. Guess it is not his yacht. Yacht what a misnomer.
www.bbc.co.uk...

🥁

8:55am doctorjazz:

I can do that! (the gif); just impossible to find someone to sync with me like that.
Hi Doug and Drummers!

8:56am glenn:

"Now all we have to do is wait to see if those fatted capons of partisanship, Chris Christie and Rudy Giuliani, get to run the FBI."

Hee hee. Fatted capons.

🥁

8:57am listener james from westwood:

That is a good line.

🥁

8:58am listener james from westwood:

Also: How do, Doug and all! Those two dancers are gonna have quads of steel after 3 hours.

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, doc!

@Brian in UK
That is the first time I've ever spied the word "superyacht."

Howdy, Listener James!

8:59am Michael:

Good Morning, Good Morning... Hiya Doug and all.

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there, Michael!

🥁

9:01am Brian in UK:

glenn, I enjoyed mewling journalists.

9:03am Uncle Michael:

What is happening?

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!

9:06am Uncle Michael:

I'm leaking...constantly.

9:07am Maggie B.:

But I thought you-know-who liked leaks. Especially the Russian kind.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Mother Maggie!

9:09am Maggie B.:

Hello Doug! Hello Drummers!

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Everyone standing for the Black National Anthem? I proudly stand.

9:12am Maggie B.:

Woah, I thought I was late!

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Original document from the Library of Congress: www.loc.gov...

🥁

9:17am doctorjazz:

I hated Musicals, Musical Theater. My wife loves it. My daughter wants to go into it. Guess who came around...(happily, I might add. Hey, if show music was good enough for Miles...)

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Another Library of Congress original document: www.loc.gov...

9:24am avant reguard:

fantastic, thx

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

The pleasure's mine, avant reguard! And welcome aboard!

9:30am annie:

wow, doug, do you ever get tired of all this radio stuff?? another show?? how cool is that?

and i just discovered a small "glitch": if i leave the pop-up open when i shut the computer down, i stay logged in to fmu.. i like this.. yes.. good morning and i like the shoes the best in that gif.

🥁

9:40am βrian:

Good morning, fellow alternators. Looks to be a nice day on the isthmus.

🥁

9:41am Brian in UK:

Is that Lebanon, Tennessee?

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

I think there is a town called Lebanon in every station in the U.S.A.

🥁

9:42am listener james from westwood:

If it's not a Lebanon it's a Bethlehem, or at least a Bethel.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Hey, good morning, annie! The answer is no, I never get tired of all this radio stuff. It is what sustains me.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

I believe there is also a Lincoln in every state in the nation, which gives my daughter endless amusement.

🥁

9:45am βrian:

I spent more time than I ever wanted to in Lebanon, NH.

9:46am Jesse Kaminsky:

morning!

🥁

9:47am βrian:

Mr Rogers: "Can you ululate? Would you like to ululate with me?"

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
Lebanon, NH, is a (or at least was) a pit.

Hello, Noisy Radio Neighbor!

🥁

9:49am βrian:

Were it a pita, I would've forborne.

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
Fred Rogers was an exceptional human.

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Read the story (only a partial story, sadly) of Fadoul, here: habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com...

9:56am Uncle Michael:

thankyoufalettinmebefadoulagin?

🥁

9:56am Brian in UK:

Doug, have to mention typo on Dollard Brand.

🥁

9:57am Brian in UK:

Well at least he is not Dullard Brand and never will be.

9:59am Jeff Golick:

No, never, not (ibra)HIM.

Geez, why do I even bother.

🥁

9:59am βrian:

Nor bollard. That's not flattering.

Re Mr Rogers, I just imagine thousands of kids in family rooms across the U.S. ululating along with the TV. It would echo through city and dale.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you Brian in UK. You have consistently been the only person with any guts to stand up to my rogue typist. I comment you, Sir.

10:01am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of rogues, hello Jeff Golick!

🥁

10:03am Brian in UK:

@Jeff those are my thoughts most of the time.

🥁

10:06am Brian in UK:

Sapperstein & Dobermann.

🥁

10:06am βrian:

You should've bought him his own spit valve.

10:07am annie:

my name-dropping moment: i know betty aberlin, she lives in the town i stayed in before i lammed it for NC. a charming and gentle creature. and a poet in her own right.

10:08am Listener Gregory:

Since you asked... you made a typo in, I think, July 2012, but I was too cowed to mention anything.

🥁

10:09am Brian in UK:

Doug you reminded me of one of our camp comedians had the line. 'I always liked a warm hand on his entrance'.

🥁

10:10am βrian:

I believe I have chided Doug on his peculiar pronunciation of "griot."

10:10am Mr C:

When I'm troubled about my soul, I dial up the Drummer for some Inspiration and Information!

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
Your pronunciation is grioting on me.

I'm always here for you Mr C.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Listener Gregory, you have corrected way more than just typos. I rely on you to keep me honest.

🥁

10:14am βrian:

As Doug's musical selections grease the rails, I watch work deadlines sliding, sliding, sliding by ...

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Next up is the track "Potatoes" by the Flaming Souls.

Would you prefer french fries, hash browns or just a simple baked spud?

10:17am coelacanth∅:

goo morning Doug and other

🥁

10:18am βrian:

Pomme frites for me, thanks.

🥁

10:18am βrian:

Pommes ...

10:19am coelacanth∅:

is it extra to make that sweet?

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

OK, but don't dip in the mayo. It was left out overnight.

Hell∅ coelacanth∅!

10:21am Jeff Golick:

Booker T. would like his chair back.

🥁

10:22am Brian in UK:

Can I recommend Berrichonne Pots. Delish and so simple.
www.potatoinspirations.com...

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

The Flaming Souls were totally a Booker T copycat band.

🥁

10:24am Brian in UK:

Anyone who is tired of potatoes is tired of living.

10:25am Stanley:

Hi Doug and the drumming fraternity. Currently in SW France and digging the show as usual. It's French fries for me.

🥁

10:25am βrian:

I'm tired of bacon.

10:25am coelacanth∅:

the salsa's a bit tangy - was it left out all night also?

🥁

10:26am Brian in UK:

Hey Stanley, it's the boozer for me, dear boy.

🥁

10:27am βrian:

Some would say mayo that's more than an hour old should be retired.

Toulouse, Stanley? Perpignan?

10:27am Stanley:

Nice one Brian. Those halcyon days are back again.

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Bonjour, Stanley!

@βrian
Tired of...bacon...? Is that even a human utterance?

10:29am coelacanth∅:

Brian @10.24 -but not the other way 'round.

🥁

10:31am Brian in UK:

Never. I think the soup has started fermenting too.

10:31am coelacanth∅:

so, is putting mayo with potatoes a thing? i've never heard of that -and it seems like a terrible combination.

🥁

10:31am doctorjazz:

Love bacon, but I'll pass on the bacon flavored chewing gum.

🥁

10:32am Brian in UK:

The Dutch eat fries with mayo, so do I.

🥁

10:32am βrian:

Bacon is the culinary equivalent of the lapel flag-pin.

10:32am Listener Gregory:

I have band-aids that look like bacon but haven't had the guts to use them yet.

🥁

10:34am βrian:

Pomme frites and mayo has a long and glorious history. I like to spice up my mayo with cayenne.

🥁

10:35am βrian:

Are those sugar-cured bandaids, or salt-cured?

10:35am Stanley:

@βrian halfway along the Pyrenees near Lourdes. Beautiful weather and scenery.
Spending time with the Aged Ps
@ ceolecanth German potato salad is tops in my book. Spuds, mayo and cornichons. yum yum

🥁

10:37am Brian in UK:

Potatoes need to be waxy varieties.

10:37am coelacanth∅:

i have nothing against mayonnaise in moderation; or in my case, in abundance, occasionally ...i've just never heard of that combo.

🥁

10:38am doctorjazz:

There are stores that only sell French fries with many dips, curry, sweet, and all sorts of mayo concoctions.

10:39am Stanley:

I took down with me bacon, pork sausages and black pudding for my poor father . A full English is one of the things he misses since moving here.

10:39am Jeff Golick:

Had some fries with malt vinegar on Wednesday. Enjoyed.

10:39am coelacanth∅:

ah, Stanley i forgot about potato salad! of course i've eaten potato with mayo!

10:40am Webhamster Henry:

Good late breakfast morning, Dummersommers! We has potatoes this morning, missed the soundtrack though.

🥁

10:40am Brian in UK:

Jeff, I like Balsamic vinegar on fries, lots of salt and mayo.

🥁

10:41am βrian:

Yes, malt whisky makes anything taste good.

Oh, wait ...

10:41am coelacanth∅:

hmm, now i want potato for breakfast; and i'm sure there are none here.

🥁

10:42am βrian:

Good basalmic on fresh (real) strawberries can be revelatory.

10:43am Jesse Kaminsky:

10:44am coelacanth∅:

i will say that french fries with chipotle mayo, or mayo with cayenne added, sounds delicious... i've just never heard of it.

10:45am Alex In Illinois:

I sometimes have fries with mayo but I like tartar sauce better.

10:46am Stanley:

We have potato scones back home in Scotland. Toasted and slathered in butter, pure devine stodge.

🥁

10:48am Brian in UK:

I made some potato bread the other week. Normal white loaf, add 4oz mashed potato, really lightens it. Makes great toast.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

@Jesse Kaminsky

(-‿-)

10:50am Listener Gregory:

Doug, is the label for this ECD or ECM? Both are of course excellent!

🥁

10:50am βrian:

Ooh, stodge. New word for me.

Lately, we've had lots of roasted potatoes (with carrots). Olive oil and rosemary with a sprinkling of sea salt. Damn good.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

I think Tyshawn Sorey is on trombone on this cut, not percussion.

10:50am coelacanth∅:

i just like french fries that are crispy and greasy and salty to the point of needing nothing except maybe some pepper.
-i rarely eat french fries though, which is probably a good thing.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Glad you didn't wait until 2022 to tell me about that mistake.

10:52am annie:

french fries: extra crispy for me thanks.

10:54am annie:

@ BinUK: i've been making my own gnocchi; it's so much fun an easier that you'd think. i just toss em in the freezer and dole 'em out in the pan when i want potato-ness.

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

annie, fun watching them cook too.

🥁

10:58am βrian:

Tastes great, but sounds gnocchi.

10:58am Listener Gregory:

Doug, I can't find the Mitchell album on the ECM website or Allmusic. Where did you find it?

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
In my in box. It was sent to me by a pal. By two pals, actually.

11:00am Jeff Golick:

Due out at the end of June, @Listener Gregory: a.co...

🥁

11:01am Brian in UK:

@ Listener Gregory. Try this, you have to wait.
www.organissimo.org...

11:10am Jeff Golick:

I have a love/hate relationship with the label Triple Point (who put out the Frank Lowe). I love that they make rare and wonderful recordings available again, in beautiful, respectful, and expert fashion.

I hate that they are priced for the 1%.

11:10am Parq:

Joining the fun. This Frank Lowe is in near perfect sync with the Singin' in the Rain gif.

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

Everything but the kitchen sync, Parq!

11:12am Listener Gregory:

I DON'T WANT TO WAIT!!!

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Triple digit, more like, amirite?!

🥁

11:13am listener james from westwood:

Been burrowing into an outline that I'm revising ahead of giving a presentation, and this show has been keeping my head from exploding while doing the slashing and burning. Especially this wild scream of a Lowe track.

11:13am Listener Gregory:

But thanks for the links, @Jeff & @UK.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Send me an email.

11:15am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: you do not lie, sir.

11:16am βrian:

I thought I heard my cat horking up grass there.
...
But he's at home and I'm listening to the Drummer stream.

11:17am Dean:

Heard Frank Lowe at the Buttonwood Tree in Middleton, CT, c.1999.

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Any night that Jessie and I get in bed with no cat barf on the comforter is a good (and rare) night.

11:22am Marie:

Good morning Douggie, and all. Beautiful tune, thank you. Happy Friday!

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, Marie!

11:23am Marie:

I had a little puker for a while--Jenny Pancake was her name.

11:23am Jeff Golick:

We keep a extra bedspread on our bed nowadays, as the dog has taken to doing most of his chewing of delicious treats there.

11:24am Jeff Golick:

And by "delicious treats," I naturally mean plastic take-out containers. cardboard boxes, and shoes.

11:27am annie:

there are cloth wrappers, now, for plastic water bottles, toss it in and let the noise-making begin

11:27am Stanley:

Loving these East African (?) tunes. This one is extra special

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

If cat barf were an energy source, our Bluestar alone could keep the lights on in Milwaukee.

🥁

11:28am doctorjazz:

Had to do some work, as noted above, it doesn't come out until end of June; @Listener Gregory, you can contact me as well.

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
Yes, this track and the Black Warriors before it — from Kenya. Up next: Zambia, then Niger.

11:29am Marie:

That's a whole lotta barf, Doug.

11:30am Little Danny:

Made it in! G'morning all

11:31am Uncle Michael:

Please join me in the next room, at the top of the hour.

www.wfmu.org...

11:31am Marie:

Some day I hope to make it to Africa. I'd love to go to this National Park that has been established across something like 3 countries--I think it is called Zambezi (sp.?) or something like that.

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Little "Zambezi" Danny!

🥁

11:32am βrian:

Did y'all see the New Yorker cover?
68.media.tumblr.com...

11:33am Parq:

UM, have already claimed myself a chair. Great gif!

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, βrian. That beaut will appear in my mailbox soon.

11:37am Marie:

Yes, Doug, that gif is so great. I love it!

🥁

11:37am βrian:

United we stand, or something.

11:43am Stanley:

We're here already?

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
Please put your tray tables and seat backs in their original and upright position.

11:45am Parq:

Can you believe David Dao's lawyer is already complaining about that cover? Sheesh.

11:46am burke:

Drinkin love from a fountain!

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

@burke
Sounds so sexy when you say it.

11:47am mauri:

hey doug gang! just tuned in and nothing better than a love on a mountain!

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Hi mauri, great to have you along!

🥁

11:49am Brian in UK:

Hello mauri, are you writing again?

🥁

11:51am Artie Haywire:

The "Peppermint Crucifixion" just never caught on with the kids.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Bizarre and wonderful album art for this Coldwater Stone LP. MUST SEE THIS: i.ebayimg.com...

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey, Artie H!

11:53am coelacanth∅:

checking out a minute early.
Thank you Doug!
see y'all

11:53am mauri:

brian, rehearsals next week. now going to prepare for a canoeing trip.

11:53am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

The beginning of the end of first day of the rest of your life begins with Hinky Dinky Time and Uncle Michael!! Tune in and start something new.

PLAYLIST: wfmu.org...

11:54am Marie:

"Peppermint Crucifixion"--love that "turn of phrase"(?)!

11:54am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

See you around the campus, coelacanth∅!

11:55am Uncle Michael:

Hell...I can't follow this.

🥁

11:55am Artie Haywire:

So many competing visual metaphors. Image just needs to be on a mountain top, with some fireworks overhead, with a wellspring of honey flowing down to the appreciative masses below. And an enrobed holding...something.

🥁

11:55am βrian:

Ok, off to meetings, and then off to roast some potatoes. Thanks, Doug.

11:56am Listener Gregory:

The Coldwater Stone album is "stereo compatible." It's been a while since I've seen those words.

11:56am Listener Gregory:

Or was I supposed to notice something else...?

11:56am Stanley:

Another great show Thanks Doug.
Back to the French fries for me.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Thanks Doug...see you all over...*there*.

🥁

11:58am doctorjazz:

Great stuff (as usual, Doug), thanks!
I need some food.

🥁

12:00pm listener james from westwood:

Always a blast! Thanks, Doug!

12:01pm GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:

You've been a stellar audience! Thanks for mooning me!

🥁

12:16pm Brian in UK:

Thanks, Boss.
