12:03pm mauri:

Hey Doug! Hey all!

🥁

12:03pm Brian in UK:

Hello Doug, 27% raised that's impressive.

12:04pm Uncle Michael:

Hola!

12:05pm Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, mauri! Groovies, Brian in UK! Hey, Uncle Michael, you left the water running!

12:05pm glenn:

that's why the well is dry.

🥁

12:07pm doctorjazz:

Time for the Drum Circle!

12:08pm burke:

Little girl is growin' up!

🥁

12:09pm doctorjazz:

They do that...

12:09pm Maggie B.:

good god, college already!

12:10pm Doug Schulkind:

Heya, glenn! Welcome, doctorjazz! So glad you're here, Mother Maggie!

12:11pm Doug Schulkind:

All aboard, burke!

12:12pm Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
Someone sent me this sticker: www.bisaufsmesser.com...

12:12pm Maggie B.:

so glad to be here too. need refuge from worry. two of my cousins are still unaccounted for in Puerto Rico.

12:16pm Doug Schulkind:

Oh my how horrible, Maggie. We have dear friends from PR here in Pittsburgh and they only a few days ago made contact.

12:18pm Maggie B.:

yeah, i know how they must have felt. it's been rough.

🥁

12:20pm doctorjazz:

@Maggie B, from what I hear, communication/phones/electricity is all shot down there, hopefully they are well and communications will be brought back on line soon.

12:21pm Doug Schulkind:

@Maggie B
Maybe your cousins got lucky. Maybe they got a roll of paper towel.

12:23pm ndbob:

wow sorry Maggie

12:24pm holland oats:

drumma! peoples! unidentifieds!

12:24pm Doug Schulkind:

If anyone can identify this Laotian singer, please see me after class.

12:27pm Flash Strap:

Hi Doug! hi drummers!

12:28pm Jeff Golick:

Easy peasy, Doug. She's the same lady what sang on your show of earlier this year: wfmu.org...

12:30pm Doug Schulkind:

I'll keep spinning her until someone comes up with the goods. Then I'll spin her some more, Identified Jeff Golick!

Howdy, holland oats! Big radio hugs, Flash Strap!

12:35pm Maggie B.:

thanks Doug, ndbob. As Joe Belock said "Heck of a job, Brawny."

12:38pm burke:

There's a joke in that film THE COMMITMENTS where the band plays a benefit and someone writes a banner that says HEROINE KILLS and they have to X out the E.

12:41pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug - need to go fora bit - should be back a little later

12:45pm Doug Schulkind:

You are free to move about the cabin, ndbob!

12:47pm Doug Schulkind:

@burke
There are few things less rock & roll than copyediting.

12:50pm hyde:

good afternoon

12:51pm hyde:

i just ate a giant chicken charcarero, so odds are even money that i pass out for a nap before the show ends

12:52pm hyde:

(the charcarero was giant, it was not made from a giant chicken)

🥁

12:52pm Brian in UK:

Doug for Copyediting read Industrial Engineering.

12:54pm Listener Gregory:

Wait, does your KNEE bow? That sounds like a recipe for an ACL injury.

12:54pm Doug Schulkind:

Have a nice tryp(tophan), hyde!

12:55pm Doug Schulkind:

You've always been a stickler for anatomical integrity, Listener Gregory.

12:55pm Listener Gregory:

Maybe they're saying, "Bend at the knee, not the back." That is certainly excellent advice.

12:55pm Listener Gregory:

Well, as they say, Doug, you stickle for what you don't have.

12:57pm Doug Schulkind:

Stickle as a verb? Sickle as a verb!

1:00pm Doug Schulkind:

If you were wondering who was playing that tasty guitar on the Little Miss Janice number: www.sirshambling.com...

🥁

1:01pm Brian in UK:

As Reg Smeaton said "There is no proper name for the back of the knees".

1:01pm annie:

sorry to be so late, i'm having browser issues

1:01pm Listener Gregory:

This is great, but I look forward to your set of elbow songs. That is an underappreciated genre.

1:02pm Doug Schulkind:

I (sort of) have a set about bending elbows coming up, LG!

🥁

1:02pm Brian in UK:

@Listener Gregory, mostly humerous numbers?

1:02pm Doug Schulkind:

@annie
You're just extremely early for next week!

1:03pm Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Tell Reg I said it was okay to call it the crook of the knee.

1:03pm annie:

hehe, hey i like that!.... man, the pop-up is not playing....

1:04pm Doug Schulkind:

@annie
Was it playing before? If so, stop it and re-start it. Try that.

1:05pm annie:

had to go back to the home page. firefox is being recalcitrent (sp)!

1:09pm hyde:

ooh, this set sounds promising

1:10pm Listener Gregory:

This is exactly how I build up my biceps.

🥁

1:13pm Brian in UK:

S'cuse me Doug, off to get a cold one.
Going penguin kidnapping.

1:15pm ndbob:

and back

1:15pm ndbob:

Heya Annie

1:16pm Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Just not too cold. We know you like 'em less than frigid over there.

1:19pm Doug Schulkind:

Listener Challenge!!!

Guess what state Tone Wattum is from.

1:21pm Jeff Golick:

Massachusetts?

1:21pm Doug Schulkind:

East of Massachusetts, Jeff Golick

1:21pm Leonardo:

New Jersey?

1:22pm Jeff Golick:

(I googled. Amazing.)

1:22pm Dean:

That was gonna be my guess, too, @Jeff G. Alaska? That's east if you go a long way.

Wrap up with George Jones and Willie Nelson's "I Gotta Get Drunk," @Doug, and you will have played *every* C&W song about alcohol.

1:24pm Dean:

Oh, one more: Emmylou's "Two More Bottles of Wine."

1:29pm Jeff Golick:

Wait what?

1:31pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Wait what...what?

1:32pm Doug Schulkind:

Nice to have you along for the ride, Leonardo and Dean!

🥁

1:34pm duke:

Raphé Malik is one of my favorite trumpeters also. He was amazing in person.

1:34pm Jeff Golick:

That Lt. Calley reference.

1:37pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Here is that tribute to Calley: e.snmc.io...

1:38pm Jeff Golick:

Yeep.

1:41pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I have three other records honoring Calley in my collection:

C Company feat. Terry Nelson • "Battle Hymn of Lt. Calley"

Mutt Cunninghamg • "Free Calley"

Big Bill Johnson • "Set Lt. Calley Free"

I also have:

Smokey Harless "Hang Lt. Calley"

1:44pm Jeff Golick:

Um...yeah.

I've been DVRing, but have not yet watched (beyond the first two eps), the Ken Burns Vietnam series. I remain fascinated, appalled, and weirdly enthralled by the war and that period of American history.

1:45pm Dean:

Phish did "Let My Lai"

1:46pm Doug Schulkind:

Phuck Phish, Dean.

1:46pm Dean:

Phor sure!

1:46pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I bet you could tell I am not a big Ken Burns fan. (I once produced a marathon premium called "Jazz Burns Ken.")

1:47pm annie:

i'm not a fan either, doug, haven't been for a long time..

1:47pm Dean:

Hot Tuna, though, that's another story. Just picked up a box set of all(?) of their releases. Good stuff.

1:49pm Lore:

Dog Faced Hermans have this "Calley": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK0g66y-OSw

1:49pm annie:

speaking of atrocities, my son won Best Documentary at catalina for his "Black and Blue", a film about police brutality.

🥁

1:53pm duke:

@annie congratulations to your son!

1:53pm Dean:

That's quite an honor, @annie. Bravo. Great topic. Too, too timely.

1:54pm Jeff Golick:

Well done, @annie and annie's son!

1:55pm Mr C:

Who was the Victor Feldman song originally recorded for?

1:59pm Dean:

Spearman's memorial took place in the funeral home directly behind my house. Before we lived there, but still.

1:59pm annie:

he has a way of telling a story without preaching and shaming.. i love his work.. he's done me proud.

2:00pm Dean:

TED talks were tailor-made for Lawrence Lessig.

2:00pm Jeff Golick:

...an assumed unassailable authoritativeness, yeah.

2:00pm Jeff Golick:

That Jazz doc was an abomination, fer sure, though I have a horse in that race.

2:01pm annie:

TED used to be great!! ... too bad RIP TED talks.

2:02pm annie:

Jeff, i agree, i got my then-boyfriend very upset at my grumbling through that jazz thing..

2:02pm Mr C:

I really liked the Viet Nam doc. It brought all right back.

2:04pm annie:

geez, doug... that was bad.. but then, not.

2:05pm Dean:

Do you know Benoît Delbecq, @Punster? Played one of his records, featuring J.J. Avenel. I miss Avenel.

2:05pm Dean:

I.e., played one of his records a couple nights ago.

2:06pm Dean:

The Caine made me think of it.

2:07pm Listener Gregory:

Delbecq is quite good. His records with Francois Houle (clarinet, whole and in pieces) are excellent.

2:07pm Mark Hurst:

Great show today, thanks, Doug!

2:08pm Jeff Golick:

Delbecq did a nice one with Fred Hersch pretty recently, too.

2:08pm annie:

is the label on that record torn on the side? ... never mind...

2:09pm Doug Schulkind:

My pleasure, Mark Hurst!

2:10pm Doug Schulkind:

Glenn Spearman is an artist I miss dearly.

2:11pm ndbob:

I totally agree about Ken Burns Doug - smug for sure - and I never really thought before about why I dislike most Ted talks

2:13pm Doug Schulkind:

Jeff Golick's assessment on TED Talks: "an assumed unassailable authoritativeness" is perfect.

2:14pm Dean:

Francois Houle, yes!

2:14pm Monica:

indian summer with lovely tunes wafting out my windows. thx, doug!

2:15pm annie:

i enjoyed TED talks for a year, maybe, picking and choosing subjects which appealed to me. it got boring.. and then they started expanding the times for presentations. ruined the challenge of short and sweet..

2:16pm Doug Schulkind:

This music is essentially Zairean soukous, but the band is from Kenya.

2:17pm Doug Schulkind:

If you gotta go tinkle, do it now. You don't want to miss a second of the upcoming 14-minute Orchestre Baobab track!

2:18pm Dean:

And how do you think that makes Orchestra Super Mazembe feel, hmm?

2:19pm Dean:

If you want listeners to take a potty break, play Phish.

2:19pm Dean:

...or a TED talk.

2:19pm Doug Schulkind:

Phish should do a TED Talk.

2:20pm Doug Schulkind:

Ah! Great minds comment alike!

2:21pm Dean:

Heh, yep. Actually, TED Talks should operate more like Phish. It'd sound like the waning hours of an all-night poker game.

2:21pm annie:

i love the video of what "People who don't like Phish" hear.

2:22pm annie:

A Phish fan and a TED speaker walk into a bar.....

2:24pm Listener Gregory:

Speaking of which, I got the Konono #1 album after hearing a cut on the show a couple of weeks ago. Very enjoyable. However, I spent too much time trying to make a pun involving Koyesyes and could never get it.

2:26pm Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Koyesyes Koyesyes a thouand times Koyesyes!

2:26pm Stanley:

Hey. Back in time for the selection Afrique
Hi Doug, everyone.

2:27pm Doug Schulkind:

Stanley hi!

2:28pm Doug Schulkind:

This guitar solo is simultaneouisly understated and badass. Not easy to pull off.

2:29pm Stanley:

Those Syliphone Guinee re-releases are top job.
(Agreement on aforementioned guitar work)

2:30pm Doug Schulkind:

Yes indeed, Stanley. Spectacular stuff.

2:33pm Stanley:

World Cuicuit did the world a great favour bringing Orchestre Baobab back together a few years go.

2:36pm Doug Schulkind:

World Circuit did heroic work early on.

2:37pm Listener Gregory:

I would like to do heroic work, but I'm having trouble pouring water into a kettle.

2:39pm burke:

Nothing silly about Syliphone Records

2:39pm Jeff Golick:

That's gonna be a big Bill Mac weekend, he's also filling in for D:O on the 15th

2:40pm Jeff Golick:

That's why I'm missing the 15th, too, Doug!

2:43pm Mr C:

Esther Phillips did a great version of "Scarred Knees" on the From a Whisper to a Scream masterpiece.

Sorry, late with this post. For Scarred Knees segment..

2:44pm Doug Schulkind:

I could find zero information on this Bobby Williams track.

@Mr C
Your Scarred Knees comments are always right on time.

2:45pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I wish I could take my daughter to visit Les Brown's College of Musical Knowledge.

2:46pm Doug Schulkind:

@burke
Nothing phoney either.

2:50pm Doug Schulkind:

This track is for DJ Monica, wherever you are!

🥁

2:50pm doctorjazz:

Busy, but dug the show, thanks Doug!

2:51pm Doug Schulkind:

Happy you're happy, doctorjazz!

2:55pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

2:56pm Doug Schulkind:

I concur, ndbob.

2:56pm Listener Gregory:

Turns out that my 2:30 appt is at 3:00, so I got to stay until the end. My knees ache in gratitude, Doug.

2:57pm annie:

wow, it's almost three! wow.

great show doug!

2:57pm Doug Schulkind:

So you like this joint then, Listener Gregory?

2:58pm Doug Schulkind:

I've got about 7 minutes left in me, so don't go nowheres!

2:59pm Stanley:

Over too soon, as always.
Muchos gracias señor Doug.

3:00pm hyde:

3:00pm Jeff Golick:

3:00pm Doug Schulkind:

3:01pm Jeff Golick:

3:02pm Doug Schulkind:

3:09pm Doug Schulkind:
