WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 04/13/12

Listener comments!

7:02pm Doug Schulkind:

Streamers and dreamers:
The wonderful radio collective Asheville FM (home to Jonathan Price's must-hear "Tenor to Tabla" radio show—Wednesdays, 7-10pm) has only a few days left in its crucially important Kickstarter fund campaign. The drive is currently sitting at 65% of its goal (and won't get funded unless it reaches the goal).

In the spirit of WFMU's good neighborly support for creative, community-based broadcasters around the globe, I urge one and all to make a contribution to this honorable enterprise!

Go here:

Regular GTDS listener/friend recently moved to Asheville and has already hooked up with the good folks at AFM. If you're out there Annie, I'd love to get your impressions of Asheville FM.

9:26pm Van in DC:

Doug, only for you would I immediately jump in and back something like this on somebody's say-so.

Heck, what's another grand for good music :)

9:32pm Van in DC:

I want to start a "Make Van have to actually pay up that $1,000" campaign by challenging EVERYONE here to make any contribution they possibly can to Asheville FM Kickstarter project to get them to their goal!

Come on peoples. MAKE VAN PAY! MAKE VAN PAY!

9:43pm Doug Schulkind:

Van,
If a jaw drops in the forest does it make a sound? What if people all over the world have linked to a live stream broadcast of it?...

But first, this word from our sponsor: "This jaw-drop has been made possible by Van in DC."

You. So. Totally. Rock.

9:44pm Van in DC:

Ironically. I am taking Friday off work. Tomorrow. Friday the 13th. Why oh why did I choose THAT day to do my tax returns? I'll probably owe a billion dollars, and because of it being Friday the 13th, I will IMMEDIATELY get notified of being audited after filing electronically. Yep!

But GTDS will make the whole day so much better. :)

9:49pm Doug Schulkind:

Oooh, please don't mention the T word. For obvious reasons...

9:54pm Van in DC:

Nothing to fear!! THE THE THE THE THE THE THE! See? Oh hey, is that an astero... *

10:40pm Greg from Asheville FM:

Van and Doug--just one word: AWESOME! [And thank you.]

10:44pm Jonathan:

Doug: thank you for posting the link and for the kind words.
Van: thank you for the insanely generous pledge.
There should be a new word invented to describe this kind of outstanding achievement in the field of excellence.

11:01pm Sean @ Asheville FM:

Van and Doug: WOW! Many many thanks for the fantastical display of community radio love.

11:23pm Van in DC:

Oh you guys, that's what friends are for right?

I just hope your goal is reached in time.

7:54am earwax:

Wow, you have to get here early if you want a seat.

8:09am Doug Schulkind:

Tsokay, Earwax, there are folding chairs in the closet if it gets jammed. You can have the granny rocker in the corner.

8:43am erella:

Doug, the animated gif is pretty, but it is really annoying. It would be great to get it to go away now that we've seen it.

8:43am Holly in NC:

Van... you are a a prince among men. That's astonishingly generous. And I know exactly what you mean about trusting Doug ;)
Also, Van, I'm doing my taxes tonight as well, whoohoo! We can commiserate telepathically.

Doug - where did you find today's most wonderful picture?

8:50am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, dear Holly! I forget where up dug this lovely image. Kinda giving me seizures, though.

8:54am annie:

woah!!! action on the page!! might have to stay away, hon.. hurts my eyes, too.. good morning every one!!!

8:55am Doug Schulkind:

Annie, before you avert your eyes, check out the Asheville FM action in the comments. Would love to get your impressions of the place. as I'm trying to help them with their Kickstarter campaign...

9:00am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Morning ndbob!

Aaaaand we're off....

9:03am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug & high hatters. A Zoopraxiscope would have been fun, following Charlie's Eadweard Muybridge theme.

9:04am listener james from westwood:

I'm in for Asheville. (Hope the prizes are cumulative; whatever else I'm due, I love stickers!) Also posted to my FB; one of my contacts lives in W. Asheville. Best of luck!

9:05am Hugo:

I know a professor at the UNC campus in Asheville. Met up again in Antwerp last year. Nice guy. Beautiful campus location, to judge from pictures. So I reckon the radio station oughta be good, too.

Looks like we might have a psychedeeelic show today.

9:09am annie:

it's an incredibly dedicated group doug. there are two studios. the whole operation fits into a small space behind a very rad coffee shop/cafe. they are definitely in the market for a new building, and to be honest, it would be good if they did. they are professional, tight bunch. every dj has to donate a certain amount to do a show and underwriting and sponsorship are welcomed with glee!! i've been in a funny position; still looking for work so i can only devote a certain amount of time, but once i have some schedule, i can start my stint as office manager. Yay,ljfw, that's great. always stickers and i know there are boxes of tees on the shelves. the radio station is located about two-ish miles maybe three from campus, which is a stunning place!! they plan to build a star-gazer observatory this year. one of the joys of riding the bus is it goes up on campus; a pleasant ride! the radio station is located in west asheville. google battle cat, which used to be izzy's.. but i ramble. they could use the support people, struggling to get on the airwaves for real, too, if they can..as it is they only stream online. anything else?

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
The word "Zoopraxiscope" hurts my eyes. Please make it stop.

@LJFW
You are a saint. Go Saints!

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

Lovely and inspiring words, Annie! Thanks.

Asheville FM's Kickstarter campaign is here:
kck.st...

9:11am annie:

it's an extremely progressive and relaxed city. i'm happy to be here. i've even registered to vote and i'm getting involved in local politics.. haha, so what's new, huh? this morning i have an interview at the asheville farmer's market to work in a booth... wish me luck, peeps.. i think this is going to be a great gig.

9:13am ndbob:

Good luck Annie! I've driven by Asheville several times, but never been there.

9:14am holland oats:

first! oh wait, not so much

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Fingers x'd for you, Annie. If you need any references, we are HERE FOR YOU.

9:17am listener james from westwood:

kick ass at the interview, annie! asheville sounds utterly civilized. if not at the market, you might have a career in promoting the univ or the city. sounds like you've found a true haven.

9:21am kat330:

A bloomin' grammophone! Just this morning our yellow rose bush is blossoming, about exactly a month early as this usually occurs right on Mother's Day weekend. Hi, Doug and all! Will not be at keyboard, but in earshot.

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

Hey kat330! I'll turn it up for you.

9:23am annie:

thanks guys!!! there is this cool web-based thing thing called asheville bliss which is user-run, pretty much. it's an interesting set-up. i'd like to become involved in that, i feel i could be a useful cog..
http://www.ashevillebliss.com/ it's very cool; i feel as if i've found the city which i sought all these years.!!

9:24am Brian in UK:

Well that was easy, modest but it all helps.

9:25am Holly in NC:

I'm off to reenact Rikki Tikki Tavi for two 4 year olds. Does one pronounce "Nag" like the Cab Voltaire song or like the festive holiday beverage?

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Rikki Tikki Tavi. Is that Rickie Lee Jones's sister?

9:29am Brian in UK:

Kickass willl only charge your card if the project is fully funded.

9:31am annie:

NOG sounds better

9:31am annie:

or nahg

9:32am Van in DC:

Morning Doug and all! I was early and now late to the party.

9:33am northguineahills:

Last night while watching Futurama, I literally FOTFL (Fell on the floor laughing) after a Erwin Schrödinger joke. I woke up my gf and she wondered WTH was wrong w/ me. ( I was Schrödinger's cat for Halloween one year.

Every track I've heard off of this Palenge comp is off hzzzook, as is pretty much every Soul Jazz comp.

9:37am dc pat:

yo...or oy...

9:39am listener james from westwood:

i am rockin' the stereotypical freelancer uniform: still wearing my gym clothes from earlier this am whilst copyediting. the plants are visibly leaning away from me. negative stinkotropism.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Van, wherever you are, you are right on time.

9:40am listener james from westwood:

northguineahills: it was the prof at the races, no? i too lost it at that one 1st time i saw it. science!

9:40am ndbob:

a song about the Kentucky Derby

9:42am annie:

ok, i love you but i'm not lingering on the page... i'll poke my eyes over here until i leave at the half of the next hour.. :-D

9:44am ?:

Just clocking in ( on ? ) I keep expecting some nipple-pinching Terry Gilliam creation to emerge from that Edison Home Phonograph ..

9:44am northguineahills:

@james: It was when they arrested some strange man (Schrödinger) and found that he had a sealed box w/ a cat and poison in it.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Annie, you can push the playlist page half off the screen to obscure the offending art.

9:45am Holly in NC:

Re Nag the cobra: I'm going with Annie's recommendations. Thank you, Annie! I need to visit Asheville, it's been years, it's a wonderful place.

Morning, Van! :-)

I am leaving now - did you know that honey badgers really are immune to cobra venom, while mongoose(es, eese?) are only partially protected by a mutant acetylcholine receptor?
**GEEK BABYSITTER***

Doug, everyone, have a fantabulous day!

9:46am Paul Sherratt:

Forgot to punch my name on the card. Will I get some time docked ?

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Best song about drinking Sterno, ever!

9:48am dc pat:

the Derby ain't for another couple weeks

9:48am ndbob:

indeed Doug

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Paul Sherratt! Just stay after class and copy someone's notes.

9:49am tirstt:

You can also drag the comments frame at its left edge.
I happen to like the bloomophone shaking in on my slomo morning.
Good listening morning, everyone.

9:50am dc pat:

mmmm, denatured alcohol...I was just reading about Irish spirits "poitin" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poit%C3%ADn never heard of it before...

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Hi-dee, tirstt. How-dee, dc pat.

9:54am annie:

tirstt!! duh!! what was i NOT thinking??

9:54am Hugo:

I just wrote an email to the guy I mentioned above. Hopefully, he might have a little cash handy.

9:55am joe:

'ello folks

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Say it IS so, Joe.

9:57am listener james from westwood:

northguineahills: i might be confusing that with the heisenberg uncertainty principle. the prof was outraged at a photo finish of a race and yelled, "no fair! you changed the outcome by measuring it!"

9:58am listener james from westwood:

these days i tend to associate "heisenberg" w/ crystal meth.

9:59am kat330:

@Doug: Thanks for cranking it up -- perfect for my workout! Backing up to your last voice break: "Broadcasting from Studio P..." heh! When my dad opened up his station [WSLM] back in 1953, he hung a sign "Studio P" on the toilet door. Wonder from whence I get my sense of humor? ;)

9:59am northguineahills:

@dc pat: I need to try that. I love trying new alcoholic drinks. When I was in Mexico City, I went to some dive pulquerias, serving pulque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulque). Awesome stuff, although the real stuff has the consistency of watery syrup. Must be drunk w/ caution, as it partially referments in your GI tract, giving a second buzz.

They have a pulqueria in Chinatown, but it has been gringoized. (Pulque doesn't stay fresh long either).

10:00am northguineahills:

@James: oh, yeah, I did see that. I believe it was the Heisenberg principle.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

The next artist has the baddest fuckin stage name ever.

10:02am Fiveash:

Hi Doug! This set totally rules, if I may say "totally rules" at the breakfast table...

10:02am BodegaMan:

thanks for the Robert Nighthawk this morning!

10:04am Doug Schulkind:

Pass the bacon, Matt!

Morning BodegaMan. Hey, have you ever visited the Bodega Pop blog? You'd love it.

10:06am BodegaMan:

I haven't, I'll try to check it out.

my handle comes from a failed blot attempt. I tried to do a crowd-source type blog where people submitted interviews with their bodega man. Only got a few submissions, unfortunately.

10:06am Hugo:

Do they have Mou Tai in Chinatown?

10:11am northguineahills:

@ Hugo: Haven't tried it, need to ask my Chinese friends.

@BodegaMan: Wish I knew, I chat w/ my bodega lads all the time. I've gotten some Yemeni tapes, and just asked for some qat.

10:15am Van in DC:

Ha, I was stopping in last night to pick a GTDS archive show at random and saw this one already opened, thought WTF? and had to check it out. :)

10:16am kat330:

Back at the keybored now and still on WSLM's Studio P: Given how tight the quarters were in that little facility, it might have been designating the only activity recommended there as well.

10:20am Hugo:

I had it several times in China, usually on official, festive occasions. Picked up a bottle on the way out, at Beijing airport. About 100 USD and it came with two small glasses.

10:20am BodegaMan:

@northguinea, well then. maybe I'll hit you up once my new website is populated with that old content. It didn't work first go round, but i want to keep it out there just in case.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

What was so thrilling and amazing, Van, is that I had just received an email from Asheville FM's Jonathan Price requesting that I mention AFM's Kickstarter. I was all too happy to do so and typed out the comment last night for today's show. Then you arrived and blew it all outta the water.

10:25am Van in DC:

What timing haha

10:27am still b/p:

This vocalist has your voice today, or vice versa, Doug!

Enjoying the show from the start, and reaching back to the top of the page for quick recharge doses of the freaktrola action.

10:27am northguineahills:

I dig the Farfisa in this Noriel Vilela track, nice contrast to his baritone.

10:38am joe:

It is So....Sorry I'm a bit behind today the coffee is taking a detour to the brain somewhere.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Here is the handsome mug of Mr. Paul Togawa:

on.fb.me...

10:44am joe:

If anyone is intrested here is a pretty neat festival I came across the other day very afforadble and looking to be kinda fun. Lots of I don't know what you call it "neo roots" or "trad country" I don't know I'll find some A&R guy to come up with a name the folks involved call it Muddy Roots. http://www.muddyrootsmusic.com/festival.html

10:44am tirstt:

Belated happy anniversary greetings to the Mr. & Mrs. Drummersome!

10:47am listener james from westwood:

just signed my next lease. looks like i'll be ljf westwood thru '13!

10:47am tirstt:

(with a copyedited 'the' )

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you tirstt, from the bottom of my the.

We could start a Kickstarter to help cover it, LJFW.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of Kickstarter, Asheville FM is now within $1,000 of reaching their goal! They've raised almost 4 grand since last night. Huge thanks to any and all assembled here who've helped out:

kck.st...

10:55am Van in DC:

Wow, that's awesome! I better get to starting my return then and hoping for a refund ;)

10:57am Jonathan:

Hugo: which professor do you know at UNC Asheville?

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

There is a faint echo in the background of this number. I can't tell if it's intentional or just a bad MP3 rip. It's so unobtrusive — what the hell.

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

Naw, it's a putrid MP3. Nevertheless, a wild sound was heard by all. The phase-shifting sizzle is positively Steve Reichian.

11:03am Hugo:

@jonathan: Mark Gibney, political science.

11:08am Carmichael:

Good morning, Fridayers.

11:09am Van in DC:

way cool lol

11:09am Shaun:

This is GREAT!

11:09am ndbob:

i can hear it Doug

11:09am Vicki:

oh boy - echo!

11:09am northguineahills:

This is kickass!

11:09am Alex in Illinois:

We are hearing it too

11:09am earwax:

echo..echo..echo.....

11:10am Paul:

awesome echo, but try playing music!

11:10am listener james from westwood:

hugo was right about this being a psychedelic show today!

11:10am Van in DC:

loop pedal? :)

11:10am Shaun:

DO IT!

11:10am Andrew:

Holy Moly... Moly.. moly... oly.. ly..

11:10am Vicki:

sounds like you're playing the stream on the stream

11:10am earwax:

we double dog dare you

11:11am Vicki:

fixed!

11:11am Bob in Charlottesville:

I can't imagine that the echoing DJ effect is a first for FMU, though

11:11am northguineahills:

It would have been a perfect time to bring out some Cageian spoken word.

11:11am listener james from westwood:

step out ... step out of your echo chamber ...

11:13am Van in DC:

sounding too normal now :))

11:13am northguineahills:

The funny thing is, I hadn't noticed the looping effect of the Rob Brown Trio, I just assumed that was what the sound was intended to sound.

11:13am listener james from westwood:

so far we have one sax and one doug.

11:14am Bob in Charlottesville:

@wfmu recently shared some excellent Cageian non-spoken word at http://youtu.be/JKdeNv3Rlv0

11:14am Paul:

Sounds fine now, but would be good for you to know how to produce that awesome echo
again when you want to.

11:14am tirstt:

Anyone else experience a comments page freeze, too? 10:57. Stream crapped out during Totter, too.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

That was completely bizarre. Somehow the stream was looping itself. The tech folks at WFMU recently changed the way I connect to the stream remotely. Maybe there's a culprit in there.

@ tirstt
The stream crapped out because I cut if off and reestablished it. At least, that was my intention.

All very weird. And cool.

11:19am still b/p:

Give the drummer some triskadekaphobia.

11:19am northguineahills:

@Bob:That's awesome!!!!

11:25am tirstt:

Not your reset, Doug. The audio stream crapped out during the song before you started speaking with echoes.

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

@tirstt
So weird. My best guess is that Steve Reich hijacked the show. If he only just asked nicely, I would've welcomed him on in the conventional method.

11:30am BodegaMan:

This track reminds me of the C.K. Mann and his Carousel 7 mix I loved from this winter. I really wore out that download.

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Oh yeah, baby, that C.K. Mann was monstrous. I believe there is a Ghanaian funk comp out there that has both C.K. Mann and Ogyatanaa on it. Good ears, BodegaMan.

11:43am tirstt:

Reading about marketing techniques employed to exploit young children's minds when it happened.
A link via news alert "toddler market"

11:43am jk:

new shows!

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

You are gonna LOVE it, jk.

11:45am tirstt:

'Reading.' No, it was 'loading'

11:55am northguineahills:

Mannnn, that Camille Yarborough track was the schiidt!

11:57am northguineahills:

NGH's homemade micheladas does the body good! Yum!, I feel so much better! (Had a a friend's bday party last night)

11:59am Van in DC:

Enjoyed the show Doug! Can't wait to "loop" back through for the first part that I missed :)

The Kickstarter thing is now less than TWO HUNDRED bucks from their goal!!! You rock!!

11:59am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

The playlist for the STEINSKI show is here:

bit.ly...

12:01pm northguineahills:

coup attempt in Guinea-Bissau. (not in the hills in the hinterland).

12:01pm listener james from westwood:

holy crow, the power of crowdfunding. go go go asheville!
loved the show, doug!

12:04pm Lee Ann:

Hey, all--I'm with AshevilleFM and I want to say we cannot thank you guys enough for all you've done for this project of ours. If you don't stop rocking so hard, yer going to hurt yerselves. :D

12:06pm Brian in UK:

I'm goning to get a beer shout in.

2:49pm Luis Williams:

I know this is well after the show, but I love the phonograph!

3:27pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi Luis,
Feel free to drop by any time!

10:51pm Van in DC:

*Predator voice* ....ANYTIME..... bwaaa ha ha ha :)

10:55pm Doug Schulkind:

Predator Van,
I baked extra cookies. Have all you want.

11:01pm Van in DC:

Yum :)
