WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 07/26/19

Listener comments!

8:52am Uncle Michael:

Facebook is asking me if I want to tag John Dalton in the photo you posted for this show, Doug. I'm sorely tempted.

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

When I added that photo, FB automatically tagged John Dalton and I had to remove the tag. WTF?

8:56am Doug Schulkind:

Not that John Dalton isn't a lovely guy.

9:02am annie:

good morning !!

9:03am Maggie B.:

Good morning guys. I'm ready to quit facebook but even better, I'm ready to face this music!

9:03am ausmanx:

🥁

9:04am dutchtheo:

Howdy from scorching hotterlands

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Quitters always win, Maggie B! Then you could take up quilting!

@ausmanx
She is the cottage cheese ball. I am the iceberg lettuce.

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Keep cool, dutchtheo. Turn your speakers up up up!

🥁

9:06am listener james from westwood:

9:08am doctorjazz:

Hi all!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

G'morning, Listener James! Greetings, doctorjazz!

9:09am John from florham park:

Going to sound like a dumb question but who is John dalton?

9:09am annie:

maggie, i'm beginning to wean myself off, too. it's become tedious. ...so,the dogmoved closer to the radio, does that mean she is likin' the tunes?

9:09am mauri:

Doug 'n all.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Whoop whoop, annie! Yippee tiy-O, mauri!

9:10am Maggie B.:

Annie, I'm getting really sick of it, it's a cesspool.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

@John from florham park
Wait, don't all you Johns know?

9:13am John from florham park:

@Doug I never heard of him

9:14am annie:

precisely the word,maggie. it's extremely toxic for my sanity. sadly, i run several groups and pages,many are ten years old... i'm in deep..

9:14am Gina Bacon:

Morning, y'all!

9:14am annie:

oh no!! imay have to clicky-star this whole episode!

9:17am John from florham park:

@Annie as a rule if you avoid politics on Facebook it is not too toxic, me I post music vids from the songs I hear on the mother stream and funny memes in general

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Gina B! Gina B! Gina B!

@annie
Pace yourself, Sister. You don't wanna run out of stars too early.

9:18am Gina Bacon:

9:18am annie:

this is the closest i get to religion, this exuberant singing..if you can get a hold of shirley mcclain's "waiting for the light", it's full of cold-war gospel music. and the movie is wonderful.

9:22am annie:

@John fFPark: i'm slowly stopping that political stuff. i post incidental stuff, word-of-the-day stuff....music, and i post lots of photos of my days...the most controversial page i run is GMWatch.

9:23am John from florham park:

@annie what is GMwatch just curious

9:25am Webhamster Henry:

Testify!

9:26am John from florham park:

@Webhamster how is it going

9:26am annie:

an organization out of england that discusses GMO technology. i'm one of their editors

9:27am Webhamster Henry:

It's going to be a nice weekend up here in Ulster County NY.

9:27am John from florham park:

@Annie gotcha thanks for the info

9:28am annie:

i make a second request for the fmu tech magicians to create a clicky-star for full segments of music...amiright!?

9:29am John from florham park:

@webhamster same here in jersey

9:29am mauri:

I was just thinking the same annie!

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

Happy Ulstering, Webhamster Henry!

9:34am chresti before coffee:

9:43am annie:

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

Burning Spear is saying "social living," not "socialism."

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

@annie
I hear it's getting increasingly difficult to find scrambled ducks.

🥁

9:51am Brian in UK:

Plenty of scrambled brains.

9:51am annie:

they have to be chased around the yard for them to be scrambled..it's why i pay so much.

9:52am chresti:

All you people out there, hello

9:53am Doug Schulkind:

Blowing in from the westi, the absolutel besti!

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

9:58am bigplanetnoise:

Coffee and soul fire. Morning!!!

9:58am Artie:

9:58am Andrew Waterloo:

Good morning, eh

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

Happy you're hear bpn! Top 'o the morning, Andrew W!

10:00am Sem:

Typically, it would be a banjo on my knee, but now I see the possibilities of jingle bells.

Good day, Doug, and Drummers with some and without.

🥁

10:02am Brian in UK:

Ah Kim Darby.

10:02am annie:

<3 yep

🥁

10:03am Brian in UK:

Ah Blue glass must be from Kentucky.

🥁

10:04am Brian in UK:

Hello Sem, how was the halibut?

10:04am Gina B:

Morning, bigplanetnoise!

10:04am chresti:

I was frightened by The Nutty Professor

10:04am Uncle Michael:

i think all-around good guy Steve Stanley has done the Ruthann reissues on his Now Sounds label.

10:05am bigplanetnoise:

Morning, GFB!

10:06am Gina B:

Sooo many movies freaked me out as a kid. Flying monkees!!

10:07am bigplanetnoise:

Even worse, flying monkeys.

10:07am Sem:

Delicious, Brian, Good halibut a bit of a rarity around here,
Missed sending you name day greetings. Now of pensionable age, I think?

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Hello there, Sem!

🥁

10:08am Brian in UK:

Lal has one of those voices that make no excuse for being there.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

A winged Peter Tork is frightening thing, eh bigplanetnoise?!

🥁

10:09am Brian in UK:

Sem, thanks for the thought, been that for the last three years. My three score and ten is fast approaching.

🥁

10:11am Brian in UK:

Voices are the strangest things. Lal's voice I find fascinating but Karen's just plain annoys me. Go figure.

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Bobby Notkoff on violin here with Sweet Mama KD!

10:12am ausmanx:

brian, i am totally with you, karen dalton and billie holiday (heresy!) are like fingernails on a blackboard for me

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Here's some Elyse Weinberg going out to Gina Bacon.

10:13am bigplanetnoise:

Yes. Any of ‘em winged is pretty scary. “Here They Come, Flying Down Your Street... “. Egads.

10:14am Gina Bacon:

Yes!! Thank you!

10:14am Goyim in the AM:

I hate the million billion Karen Dalton copycats, but the real deal just sounds so good to me.

🥁

10:14am Brian in UK:

ausmanx, how are you my friend. Ashes next week. Both team have dodgy batting right now.

10:14am Gina Bacon:

Exactly, bigplanetnoise. Flying beasts in general.

10:15am Mr C:

Great set here Doug..

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Others calling Dalton "the Billie Holiday of folk," it was a cruel albatross for her to bear.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Your comment is music to my eyes, Mr C.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Jesse Sykes. Produced here by the stellar Tucker Martine ("the man who could do no wrong").

10:18am Mr C:

Paramount was not the best label home for Karen Dalton either..

10:18am ausmanx:

i watch baseball now, brian. gives me an excuse when we lose the ashes. pleased to see my Giants on a roll

🥁

10:18am Brian in UK:

Cannot see the point of horror films. Why pay money to be scared.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Planet Earth was not the best fit for Karen Dalton. We needed to do better, and we just didn't.

10:20am Stanley:

Doug, brothers and sisters!
Hello

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Ready to say Go-SHAY, y'all?!

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

Brother Stanley!

10:21am Sem:

The elusive sunglassed cat is back.

🥁

10:21am Brian in UK:

Doug, and Mr Martine's missus. Could she be in this set. I wonder.

10:21am Dominick:

lovely guitar work

10:22am Mr C:

There's that too Doug..

🥁

10:22am Brian in UK:

Is this a Fred Eaglesmitth song?

10:22am Stanley:

Sem, my lead free friend!

10:22am Gina Bacon:

I ❤️ Mary!

🥁

10:22am Brian in UK:

Hey Stanley. Staying cool ofcourse up north.

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

Yes it sure is, Brian in UK.

10:23am Sem:

It is Fred's song, BiUK.

🥁

10:23am JtotheK:

hiya Doug, hiya everyone!

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

JtotheeverlovingK!

10:24am annie:

saw Mary Gauthier up at west kortright center in NY, she was just getting a name then..

🥁

10:24am Brian in UK:

We need mercy now more than ever.

10:25am annie:

just thinking the same thing brian...

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Longtime Lucinda producer Gurf Morlix is working his magic here on guitar.

10:26am Stanley:

Cool as a cucumber raita, Brian

🥁

10:26am Brian in UK:

Gina, any chance of Gurf on your show?

10:27am Gina Bacon:

Maybe sometime, Brian...I'd love to have him!

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Anyone ever go to Mary Gauthier's restaurant? In...Boston...right?

10:28am Stanley:

Right, heat or not, it's half-past three.
Cup of tea.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Patti and Lenny. Lenny and Patti. God I love them.

10:31am Goyim in the AM:

...and Jeff Buckley singing back up on a song about dying young.

🥁

10:31am Brian in UK:

Stanley, I have the jam and cream if you have the scones.

10:34am Stanley:

Thanks Brian. I'm looking forward to a full 'afternoon tea' on our Yorkshire Holiday at the end of August.

10:35am Gina Bacon:

Thank you so much, Doug! I do hear what you heard with their voices!!

🥁

10:40am doctorjazz:

60s Wayne...does it get any better?

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

@Goyim in the AM
Almost too much to bear.

@Gina Bacon
I generally avoid the "you sound a lot like" comparisons. Tends to diminish one or the other. Only meant as a compliment, of course!

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
'60s Wayne Shorter is an entire chapter in a book somewhere.

10:42am Jeff g.:

Sounding great in headphones, Doug..

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

The rest of this quartet:

Herbie Hancock (p)
Reggie Workman (b)
Joe Chambers (d)

Hello!
Jeff (g)

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

It Might as Well Be Spring won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1945. From the film version of the Broadway musical State Fair. Music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II.

10:47am Marie:

Good AM. Hi Doug and all. Thanks for elevating my Friday AMs!

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

That is my AiM, Marie!

10:51am annie:

my favorite rendition of this is in The Singing Detective. it's a beautiful tune

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

Ol' Blue Eyes does a pleasant version.

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

The late Roy Campbell Jr. on that trumpet solo.

10:56am Gina B:

Same here, Doug! And I agree that it can be a huge compliment sometimes.

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

Except when it negates the talent and humanity of the person being compared, like when Karen Dalton was called the Billie Holiday of folk. The thing an artist generally wants to achieve more than anything is to sound like themselves. The comparison may be a compliment, but it represents, ultimately, a barrier that will need to be circumvented on the way to true originality.

But mostly, yeah, a compliment.

11:02am annie:

i agree doug,

🥁

11:04am Brian in UK:

For how many years were bands being touted as the new Beatles or new Bob Dylan.

11:05am Goyim in the AM:

Vocally, Karen and Billie had too entirely different vocal "problems" going on -- they sang in tune and rhythmically brilliantly in "unpretty" voices that could move you deeply. Young singers faking that with nasally vocal frying everything make me nuts.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

You're so right, Goyim in the AM. Holiday and Dalton had nothing resembling "pretty" voices. Prettiness in that context is often an artifice that derails the deliverance of an artist's unique human self. Holiday and Dalton hid behind nothing. (And it destroyed them.)

11:14am northguineahills:

Benn packing records all night (after sleeping two hours), I'm at Grand Funk Railroad. It took me two days to do my CDs, and 1 day to do my cassettes, and now I'm on day three on my vinyl.

🥁

11:15am Brian in UK:

John Lennon had a toilet bowl voice but that seemed to work, perhaps being male.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

With all that packing, northguineahills, you might as well move to Green Bay.

🥁

11:17am Brian in UK:

@ngh good luck. Your records have hardly had time to get acquainted with the shelves since the last move.

🥁

11:20am Artie:

"No Records Left Behind"

11:21am annie:

you moving again ngh?

🥁

11:22am JtotheK:

@NGH if you take Doug's advice (at 11:16), let me know and we'll meet somewhere in WI for beers and do some record shopping.

11:23am northguineahills:

Thanks Brian, I'm interspersing packing my music w/ other packing cleaning, as it saddens me to see my shelves laid more bare.

@Annie: I just got here two years ago, but job hunt has made me have to elsewhere, I friend is taking my music to store (I offered he can use them), and already took a car load of books to my parents 85km away to store, and furniture to Salvation Army.

11:24am northguineahills:

Doug, keeping it real from DR Congo south to SA!

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

An ethos I adhere to, Artie. If one can adhere to an ethos.

🥁

11:25am dutchtheo:

I had to divide my attention between this absolutely brilliant show and some bike race drama in France and cooling myself with icecream...and the soul galore still has to start

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

This shangaan electro from South Africa is wild stuff. Definitely in the "way cheaper than drugs" category.

11:27am geezerette:

Here! Live! :D

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

Weeeee! geeeeeeezerette!

11:29am geezerette:

:::::::::0 !!!

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

@dutchtheo
Just heard the other night on the BBC a story about when Greg Lamond won the Tour De France after having been accidentally shot by his brother-in-law whilst hunting. Crazy!

11:31am geezerette:

Talk about dedication!

🥁

11:31am Brian in UK:

@dutchtheo. Shame they neutralised the race but there was a landslide as well as the hailstorm. Wanted to see Alaphilippe go nuts downhill.

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

Apparently, Greg Lamond still, 30 years later, still has 37 pieces of buckshot in his body and he suffers from lead poisoning.

🥁

11:33am Brian in UK:

Doug, he is a great rider.

11:33am geezerette:

!!! :c{

🥁

11:33am dutchtheo:

Yes the Tour has really crazy stories, and even though the winner is often not the winner after some years i still llove it, yes biuk but the only reasonable outcome

11:37am geezerette:

They're racing in 100 degree heat?

11:37am Uncle Michael:

Something will happen. Not sure what...Hinky Dinky Time at the top of the hour. Join me.

www.wfmu.org...

🥁

11:38am Brian in UK:

dutchtheo, yes ofcourse. Chris Froome has just won the 2011 Giro.
Funny talking about voices and how they vary but Wiggins seems so popular the opposed to Froome.

11:39am geezerette:

Shirley Wahls surely wails!

11:42am CHUCK ROAST:

Hmmmmm, next week. Aren't we about due for an Uncle Michael twin spin ?

🥁

11:43am dutchtheo:

And today 25F and canceling the end because of snow, Wiggins is more r&r maybe, i prefer Froome though

🥁

11:43am JtotheK:

Hmmm. Don't Destroy Me - might be another 45 that I only ever listened to the flip! (Also, it's what I expect my toilet to be thinking after I make certain meal choices ... ah, nevermind.)

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

@CHUCK ROAST
Man, you are right. I'd better offer the extra three hours to UM first.

🥁

11:45am JtotheK:

Ah, now this Lady Margo - I know the flip better than the current track. Nice one!

11:47am Mr C:

Big Ty from Chicagoland! He loved Charlie Rich and Neil Diamond. And he drove me to O' Hare once. Tough guy with heart of gold..

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Don't flip out on me yet, JtotheK!

🥁

11:47am Brian in UK:

Ah the gravity song.

11:48am Uncle Michael:

What was he driving, Mr. C?

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

@CHUCK ROAST
Your wish is my command. Uncle Michael will be filling in for me in two weeks and doing a 6-hour extravaganza! It will have extra extravaganza even!

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

Thanks you Mr Schulkind for the aural delights.

11:50am Mr C:

I can't remember. It wasn't a Stutz Bearcat but it was a cool car. Around 1980-81..

11:51am Uncle Michael:

I want to believe it was a 1970 Deuce and a Quarter.

🥁

11:51am dutchtheo:

Biuk; the proverb song , reap and sow what comes around

11:51am Mr C:

He said "Charlie is a white-haired singing MF!"

11:52am northguineahills:

Ok, got to Al Hirt... (I still need more boxes).

11:52am CHUCK ROAST:

Yaaaaay !

11:52am geezerette:

Thanks, impresario Doug!

11:53am GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO:
