Listener comments!

7:47am Uncle Michael:

I hope those legs are insured.

7:55am Doug Schulkind:

I can ensure you they are.

8:59am mauri:

ooh a shiny lady.

8:59am annie:

i love the hands, look at the simple gesture..

🥁

9:00am dutchtheo:

Howdy, do the 9 o'clock rumba or the 3 o'clock clog dance

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Hi mauri, annie, dutchtheo! Welcome!

9:02am Webhamster Henry:

Ann Miller FTW.
www.youtube.com...

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

I actually found this footage while searching for the bongo player, Jack Costanzo!

9:04am Webhamster Henry:

So: All bongo set, Daddy-O?

🥁

9:08am sinner:

Let's have church.

9:08am thedunkel:

Good Morning Mr. Drummer!

9:08am Uncle Michael:

I think the stream has struck.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Let us pray, Dr. Sinner!

9:09am Stanley:

Plinkity plonk plonk PLONK!

🥁

9:09am dutchtheo:

yup, it's back now

🥁

9:10am sinner:

Old Satan up to his ol' tricks.

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

For some reason, the artist/song info is not being fed to the various platforms.

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, thedunkel. Howdy, Stanley!

9:12am Andrew Waterloo:

good morning

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Woohoo, Waterloo!

9:12am Andrew Waterloo:

I have some time without meetings and no one to interrupt my headphone time.

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

I just got booted off the stream, and then reconnected. Something nasty is trying to chew through our wires of love this morning.

9:14am Andrew Waterloo:

is it a rabbit?

9:15am Uncle Michael:

squirrels

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

They are a protected class in these parts, Uncle Michael.

🥁

9:17am dutchtheo:

i think the stream is back, come on bugs bunny stop it

9:18am Uncle Michael:

But you must be allowed to defend Yousef.

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Booted again.

🥁

9:19am dutchtheo:

what's up?

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

Sorry, trying to reconnect....

🥁

9:21am Brian in UK:

Hello in there.

9:24am Uncle Michael:

restarted modem and router?

🥁

9:24am dutchtheo:

Sufferin' succotash, very quiet now

🥁

9:26am Brian in UK:

The Test cricket keeps stopping and starting for rain, so I tried the stream.
Next track up is by the Gremlins.

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle M
I don't think it is a local problem. Earlier, the stream was not receiving my artist/song metadata, which suggests the problem is occurring at WFMU.

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

Restarted the router, and now the connection seems to be working.

🥁

9:35am Brian in UK:

Not a patch of Hildegarde of Bingens 10,000 Virgins.

🥁

9:36am dutchtheo:

yes, back i think, fiddlin on the roof

9:36am Maggie B.:

i hear you, but for a second I thought I had entered the Sinners Crossroads Zone.

🥁

9:36am βrian:

I could go for a little Hildegarde.

🥁

9:37am Brian in UK:

Doug, just play bed music that seems to work. Chop logic as Willie the Shake might put it.

🥁

9:40am Brian in UK:

Hear Hear.

Mauritania rarely appears on the Stream.

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

Chop Logic will be the name of my next radio show.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Maybe we should ask mauri?

9:43am mauri:

I need to find Tania to work this.

9:44am Uncle Michael:

It's not widely known that "twist" is the African word for kwella.

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

More kwela coming up, UM!

9:50am Sem:

Greets, Doug, chainsawers, soon-to-be-Dutch designers, flaneurs walking in the stream, Ernests in the Stream, those singing in the rain, dubious polytheists, and all.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Hope this set has got your nose hairs in a twist!

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

Alohoa Sem!

🥁

9:51am Brian in UK:

Hey Sem, what is happening across the Bay?

🥁

9:51am βrian:

Ah, so you speak, eh, African?

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

This King Kennytone number (and the twist on the flip side) are probably the best known of the twists from the Continent.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, βrian!

9:54am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! tweestahs!

9:56am David D:

Coming in loud and clear and great and twisted over here!

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Hey-O, H.O.!

9:56am Sem:

BiUK, hot, humid, sweltering weather, not unlike what youi have there, and managing to keep everything shipshape and Bristol-fashion.

John Cleese performs here in November. Top ticket: $384.50 CDN.
That $0.50 must be a new joke he is trying out.

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Comrade David D!

10:01am Mr C:

Say it Loud, I listen to the Drummer and I'm Proud!

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

Say it Loud: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR C!

10:03am coelacanth∅:

'morning Doug & drumlings

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

Nice to coe you, coelacanth∅!

10:05am Doug Schulkind:

An Italian goof on the "African" twist.

10:08am Maggie B.:

@ Sem, where is John Cleese playing? I wanted to see him when he played in Brooklyn earlier this summer but just didn't get the tickets on time.

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Next up (and last in this sequence) the greatest of the twists From Africa. The wonderful Ignace De Souza with the Melody Aces.

10:10am Mr C:

The autumn winds and the winter winds/they have come and gone/but oh those lonely days they go on and on..

BTW: This is tremendous!

10:11am Sem:

Hi, Maggie. My mistake, he won't be in Nova Scotia until May/19. See here:www.thestar.com...

10:11am Maggie B.:

Thanks, Sem.

10:13am Jeff Golick:

What do we want? Drummertime! When do we want it? Now now now now.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

So much now, Jeff Golick!

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

Bill Barron soloing on melodica!!!

10:30am ndbob:

Heya Doug and everyone!

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

Well hello there, ndbob!

10:35am Jeff Golick:

Wait...the dancer moved off of her pedestal.

🥁

10:36am βrian:

Who is behind that scrim?

10:36am holland oats:

That's not Ann Miller is it?

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
Why yes. Yes it is. With Jack Costanzo on bongos.

@Jeff Golick
Very attentive, Sir. Shall I put her back?

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
You know the house rules. GTDS never reveals who's behind the scrim!

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

Annnnnnd she's back on the riser!

10:39am Uncle Michael:

Pay no attention to the band behind the scrim.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

I have a question. Is everyone ready for ZOMBIEFEST?!?

10:41am holland oats:

hmmm

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Calo Scott on cello here.

10:45am Uncle Michael:

I prefer Hoagiefest.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

More preferable, to be sure, than Grinderfest, UM.

10:48am Jeff Golick:

This Rouse is...surprising?

10:53am burke:

Sounded more like an ADventure...which always seems to happen when the Swedes and the Americans team up

10:53am Jeff Golick:

That Stitt record has a curious cover, with art by Don "MAD" Martin: www.discogs.com...

10:54am Stanley:

Haitian music? The home of the zombies

10:54am ndbob:

@Jeff never knew that Don designed LP covers

10:54am Dean:

Music from Zombia?

10:55am Lewis:

Good Morning all,

apologies it this has been covered - but is that dezi arnez in the gif?

10:56am Jeff Golick:

@ndbob: looks like Prestige in '56 was his big year: www.discogs.com...

10:56am Lewis:

Billy May - I have picked up a lot of his work in the "please take this away bin" at Hymie's record store day blow out!

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Zombie Dean! Greetings Zombie Lewis!

10:58am ndbob:

generally where they end up Lewis - many are really worth hearing

10:58am coelacanth∅:

the billy may track reminded me of l ron hubbard's music.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

Nice sleuthery, Jeff Golick!

10:59am Jeff Moore:

Return of the Zombie doesn't sound like zombies! It started out sounding like an FBI procedural, but it also has glimmers of Swingin' European Adventure.

10:59am Lewis:

@ndbob - indeed some pretty wild stuff among the schlock...

10:59am northguineahills:

Meridian Bros! (Been here, but work has me under the metaphorical whip).

🥁

11:00am dutchtheo:

do the happy vulture!

11:01am rw:

Morning. Zombies. Beautiful.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Get crackin', northguineahills! Nice to see you, ARE DUBYA!

11:08am northguineahills:

Fela's "Zombi"?

11:08am Jeff Golick:

Are the Cramps and Fela just a little too obvious for the Drummer?

11:08am Lewis:

@ngh - second that

11:09am Jeff Golick:

(jinx, @ngh.)

11:09am Lewis:

But @jeff G - point well taken...

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

This program will never not play Fela.

11:12am northguineahills:

As much as I love dystopian movies, the zombie phenomena has jumped the shark, and I like zombie movies (but it works for music!)

11:14am northguineahills:

double negatives ain't never not going to be ok w/ me!

11:15am northguineahills:

I found a Kingston Trio cassette at a thrift store when I was 16. My friend and I thought it was cheesy at first, but we couldn't stop loving it after awhile....

11:15am Webhamster Henry:

There's a Jim Jarmusch Zombie movie filming now int he Catskills.
Full disclosure: family members are playing zombies in it.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Webhamster Henry, the Kingston Solo!

11:17am northguineahills:

There's also Zombi the band, and Zomby the minimal techno producer....

11:17am Jeff Golick:

That's cool, @WH!

As a kid, I discovered my dad had a Kingston Trio record with "Charlie on the MTA" on it and it has never lost its earworm power.

11:18am ndbob:

I need go - excellent show Doug!

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Cheers, ndbob! Be well!

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
We usta sing Charlie on the MTA in camp. "He'll be lost forever 'neath the streets of Boston..." !!!

11:23am Maggie B.:

Diggin the zombie set Doug! i feel so undead now.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Go look yourselves in the mirror and ask yourselves, "Was Doug REALLY going to eschew spinning this Fela Kuti monster track?"

11:24am Uncle Michael:

I'm looking for 100 volunteers to join me for Hinky Dinky Time at the top of the hour. IRB forms are available in the lobby.

www.wfmu.org...

11:24am Webhamster Henry:

@Doug I was playing one of my autoharps this morning. Kingston Solo indeed!

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

"One of my" is the key phrase there.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Everyone ready for Ann Miller to hop down?

11:28am Dean:

Am I misremembering, or did SNL once do a skit based on this set?

11:28am Jeff Golick:

I wasn't ready!

11:29am Webhamster Henry:

She's tap dancing in those heels if you watch the clip I posted. Time for the Stan Freberg Great American Soup ad!

11:29am Webhamster Henry:

(After all: orchestration/orchestra by Billy May)

11:31am Dean:

Picking up my daughter yesterday from day camp, I was approached by one of her fellow campers, a 5 or 6YO boy, who noticed my WFMU shirt featuring the cow and dog beneath the call letters. He told me he liked the shirt, and then he went, "Woof! Moo!"

11:33am Uncle Michael:

Looks like we got ourselves a *reader*.

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Get on up, Ann Miller!!!

🥁

11:36am JtotheK:

enjoying this buttered toast. hi doug, hi everyone.

11:36am Lewis:

@Dean - sounds fun! My kid has been proudly wearing and sporting wfmu swag for most of their now nearly 24 years!

@Doug - keep you eyes peeled for an orange haired young person with wfmu swag as said offspring calls Pittsburgh home for now...

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Funny how you can have jam with butter toast, eh, JtotheK?!

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

@Lewis
Like Luis Buñuel, I will peel my eyes looking.

11:40am Uncle Michael:

Well, my streaming machine decided to update Windows 10 since I set up for the show and now it can't see the USB audio device. So...maybe I'll start on time.

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Everyone chant HOP DOWN ANN MILLER, and see if it happens.

11:42am Dean:

Used to listen to Johnny Otis on LA's KPFK with some frequency. Always a fun show.

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

Nice work, everyone!

11:43am Sem:

hahaha, Doug.

🥁

11:43am dutchtheo:

soul smokin' like a zombie, watch out for the peels Ann, HOP DOWN

11:43am Uncle Michael:

Highly likely that I will start late today. We'll see how this goes.

11:44am Sem:

Judging by the scrim and Miller's dress, this must have been The Alcoa Hour.

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

I can take requests until you're ready.

11:45am Dean:

@UM, Why don't you devote the first set to several performances of 4'33"?

11:45am Uncle Michael:

Please do.

11:45am Lewis:

Ken played a 4:33 extended mix after Sandy... Maybe that one?

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Hey everyone, start sending me some requests. What would you like to hear?

11:47am Dean:

Got any Lil Green? Ma Rainey?

11:47am Jeff Moore:

@UM: Computers, amirite? Can't live with them, can't toss them off a 10th floor balcony.

11:47am Uncle Michael:

I'm rolling back to the previous OS build.

11:48am Dean:

"I Got Them Ol' Operating System Update Blues"

🥁

11:49am dutchtheo:

Wilson & Watson Singers Keep the Fire Burning in Me

11:49am Uncle Michael:

Jeff, I live in a ranch house with a walk out basement. I'd have to carry it up a flight of stars to drop it one floor. Hardly worth it in this humidity.

11:49am Jeff Golick:

I feel your pain, @UM.

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

OK, I've got some Lil Green AND Ma Rainey cued up. Keep 'em coming.

Hey, I could play the opening gospel set that got garbled by the techmonster. Great idea, ducththeo!

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

GREAT IDEA, DUTCHTHEO!

11:51am Uncle Michael:

I can't guarantee I'll start late.

11:52am Jeff Moore:

Got any Gregory Porter? (Response: "Go fish!")

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Just give me the high sign and I will jump off.

11:52am Uncle Michael:

the duration of the restoration is a known unknown

11:53am Dean:

Looking forward to that Texas gospel. Missed it this a.m.

Another request: The Waybacks' rendition of Floyd Cramer's "Last Date"

11:53am northguineahills:

Thanks Doug!

11:53am Jeff Moore:

Is that better or worse than an unknown known?

11:54am Sem:

Any Donald Rumsfeld from his punk era?

11:54am Lewis:

I love this little corner of this wonderful radio station!

11:54am Dean:

Rumsfeld's still a punk.

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Moore
No Gregory Porter. How about Porter Wagoner?

11:55am Jeff Golick:

I'd take anything on Porter Records.

11:55am Uncle Michael:

and, the whole house just lost electricity, again. This was during the middle of the OS restoration. I can make no promises about Today Show at this point. I quit Show Business.

11:56am Sem:

Touché, @Dean.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Luv me some Porter Records.

11:56am Jeff Moore:

Or anybody's rendition of The "In" Crowd, because that's who's garhered here.

But you have a set resuscitation plan now.

11:56am Sem:

Wagoner porter souds good.

11:57am mauri:

porter would go well with my beverages

11:57am Jeff Moore:

Holy poop, Uncle Michael. Your house really doesn't want you making sweet music today.

11:58am Dean:

Give the drummer some power. If it makes you feel any better, @UM, when I pay my local power utility (PG&E) bill every month, I write a check and add "Fuck PG&E" to the memo line. Am I being juvenile? Of course. Does anybody at PG&E see the memo? Of course not. But it makes me feel better.

🥁

11:59am dutchtheo:

Thanks Doug!, good luck with the power challenges Uncle

🥁

12:00pm βrian:

À la prochaine, Master Doug.

12:01pm Dean:

Thank *you*!

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Ma Rainey "Black Eye Blues"

12:02pm Dean:

Was Ma Rainey married to Tom Carper?

12:03pm Doug Schulkind:

The Senator from Delaware?

12:04pm Dean:

Yeah. A joke, inasmuch as one can joke about it at all.

12:04pm Doug Schulkind:

Lil Green "I'm Going to Copyright Your Kisses"

12:05pm Jeff Golick:

Got any Hot Lips Page?

12:06pm Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
I do, but I am going to re-run the opening gospel set that got sploinked by my early connection problems.

12:07pm Doug Schulkind:

Russell Lee & The Southern Wonders "Fire and Holy Ghost"

12:09pm Doug Schulkind:

I just received word from Uncle Michael via email that he has lost power at his house. It is looking UNLIKELY that he will be doing a show today.

12:09pm Jeff Golick:

@Doug: praise be.

12:10pm Jeff Golick:

That looked bad. Praise for the gospel; boooo for no Hinky Dinky Time.

12:12pm Doug Schulkind:

Wilson & Watson Singers "Keep the Fire Burning in Me"

12:13pm mauri:

damn power

12:14pm Doug Schulkind:

The Pure In Heart Travelers "John the Revelator"

12:15pm Doug Schulkind:

Confirmed. No Hinky Dinky Time today due to an absence of power.

S O R R Y !

12:17pm Dean:

Goddammit.

Oops. Shouldn't-a said that during the gospel set.

12:17pm Doug Schulkind:

Singing Angels of Brunswick, GA "The Ten Virgins"

12:20pm Doug Schulkind:

The Brooklyn Allstars "I Don't Want to Do Wrong"

12:25pm Doug Schulkind:

12:32pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, @Doug, and good luck to you, @Uncle Michael!
