Listener comments!

8:12am duke:

Hi DrummerSome and other drummers. Just waiting for Frankenstorm.

8:19am Doug Schulkind:

'ello Sir Duke. The harlequins and jesters will be along presently to entertain you.

8:57am listener james from westwood:

in this case, we have the rainbow BEFORE the storm!
morning, doug, and happy friday to the other stormwatchers out there!

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Stay safe, Frankenstormers!

8:59am ndbob:

morning Doug, James, Duke, everyone

9:00am dcp@:

on time today!

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Hi ndbob! Hi LJFW! Hi every single body!

9:02am annie:

the good news: i'm here to listen!
the bad news: it's cause my seasonal work ended this week.
i have some irons in the fire, though...good morning evryone!~ so nice to be here!!

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

dcp + RG3 = Party!

9:02am annie:

xkcd had a great hurricane comic this morning!!

9:03am listener james from westwood:

here's to many irons and a cheery fire to celebrate them with!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Oh Annie! I'm thrilled you're here. Sorry 'bout the work.

9:05am annie:

it's cool, doug... ended sooner than i thought, but that old proverbial door has just swung wide open! woot!

9:05am Doug Schulkind:

A pledge of only $12 will get the goal total to 50%. That would be a nice morale boost to start the morning...

9:05am ndbob:

Greetings Annie!

9:07am annie:

hey bob... long time no see...

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

w00t to you, Annie, and to proverbial door swinging (the very best kind of door swinging!)

9:13am listener james from westwood:

i can't get you to 100% in 1 shot, but i can get you to 50%.
if anyone can start the march to 60% now is the time!

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
Thanks to the ubiquitous Listener James From Westwood for nudging the total to 50%. You, Sir, are a mensch of highest rank.

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
Elias of Astoria has thrown another 1% on the pyre. Burn baby burn! Thank you Elias!

9:16am Elias:

The pleasure is all mine, my good man.

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Elias backwards is Saile, which makes me think of Haile Selassie. How about some Ethiopian music, then?

9:19am dcp@:

great sounds!

9:20am listener james from westwood:

the segue master strikes!
thanks, elias!
as always, i wish i could do more. have been eyeing armored cars of late to see if any stacks of bills might fall off the back. i would gladly take a dye pack to the face for fmu.

9:21am Alex in Illinois:

Good morning. At home sick today. Got the laptop here tuned in. I did give in the pledge drive a couple weeks ago. It seems that all viewer-supported non-commercial media have been having pledge drives in the last few weeks. That includes the other station I support, KDHX as well as Link TV, a TV station that aired a great but disturbing documentary on the Koch brothers. Then there have been the political contributions too. There are actually some good people running, but their opponents are all funded by high-budget super PACs. So I have had to support some of the under-funded progressives. But, I still found enough to contribute to WFMU during this fund drive. It's just that I don't have much extra $$ right now because of the political donations.

9:22am Elias:

Often I have been at parties and needed a good segueway into some Ethopian music! WFMU, the station that keeps on giving.

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Listener James, you are to dye for.

9:26am ndbob:

Opika Pende is such a great collection

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
May the evil humors (and the Koch Brothers) invading your flesh LEAVE NOW. In other words, feel better soon.

9:30am holland oats:

DRUMMA!! HOMESTRETCH!!!

9:31am listener james from westwood:

alex, the wnyc fund drive was running this week and last, so you're likely correct on the october hat-passing count. thanks for being a friend to underfunded progressives! they do need it. and here's to a healthier weekend!

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
I think a pulled a muscle during the home stretch. I should've stretched first.

9:35am Artie:

Yay mussels!! And cockles and whelks, and noisemakers of all kinds!!!

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

@Artie
You get extra credit for "whelks."

9:44am Alex in Illinois:

Hmm. I heard you say "Musical atlas". Maybe I can get our local public library to get one of those.

9:45am chris in durban:

greetings doug - good to be able to check in this afternoon - happy friday all

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Chris in durban
Always thrilled to have you along for the ride!

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Three cheers to the trombonist soloing on this track. It's either Barry Rodgers or Mark Weinstein.

9:57am Doug Schulkind:

I just Googled it. It's Barry Rodgers.

10:01am Brian in UK:

Good Afternoon Doug & gentle listeners.
@ artie OYSTERS by the pail.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
Blessing upon you, Brian in UK!! (Accompanying Brian's pledge was this query: Do you ever put preserved artichokes on your pizzas?")

Thank you for the pledge and the artichokes, Brian.

10:03am Brian in UK:

What else would you be doing on a Friday at this time. Well? So give the drummer some fuckin' MONEY. Please.

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

I would really like to encourage someone listening to make a real whopper of a pledge. How about $500? That would just kick the ass of this whole thing way down the road. I'm bending over...

10:04am still b/p:

Hello. Great to have some Carnival with my bowl of cereal.

Be pretty interesting to be earthquaked and then Frankenstormed within just a fortnight.

10:04am still b/p:

Hello. Great to have some Carnival with my bowl of cereal.
Be pretty interesting to be earthquaked and then Frankenstormed within just a fortnight.

10:06am still b/p:

My first double post! More mysteries and signs of endtimes!

10:07am listener james from westwood:

thanks mightily, brian!

10:08am listener james from westwood:

you can bet pat robertson would blame such a confluence of catastrophes on obama, gays, left-handed sloths, or whatever else plagues his prion-riddled brain.

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Frankenquakes. Is that the cereal you're munching?

10:12am alan r:

hi doug, I pledged but decided to split it between you and two other fav shows. its all good. Keep on keeping on!

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

@alan R
Hey man, it is way all good. Thank you!

10:17am gumby:

I just moved to the Jersey shore during divorce. I am extatic about Frankenstorm. Truly beautiful when the weather matches your inner turmoil.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
Joining the aforementioned offering from Alan R is a pledge from Chris in Durban (main man behind the genius blog Electric Jive!!)

Some get their thrills on Blueberry Hill. I get them here: electricjive.blogspot.com/

Thank you Alan and Chris!

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

This entire set, by the way, was inspired by the Sun Ra track, which will end the set. (It comes from the Sun Ra album appearing in this week's Mining the Audio Motherlode:

bit.ly...

10:24am dcp@:

this is amazing....gonna have to break out W of O tonight for the little guy to watch.

10:30am Brian in UK:

Glad to hear it is not only John Martyn that can turn this tired standard into something meritricious. Ouch.

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
We have Terry in Atlanta to thank for getting us to 57%. Muchas gracias, Terry!

10:33am still b/p:

Hope the storm distracts, gumby, and moves things around & along.

10:33am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of meritricious, I present to you Herman "Sonny" (Le Sony'r Ra) Blount.

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
Paul "The Bloke from Stoke" Sherratt has contributed yet again. 58% is now ours! Thanks Brother Paul!!

10:36am Brian in UK:

Blountiful

10:39am terry:

Hey Y'all I just made a low key pledge for the low key marathon but I was distracted and didn't see the spot to give you a shout. thanx for well...just making things better

10:40am listener james from westwood:

yay, chris! thanks for the blog and the pledge! thanks also to alan and terry and paul!
gumby, sorry to hear about the divorce. hoping the storm provides stunning visuals but little damage.

10:44am BodegaMan:

Only caught the Sun Ra track from that set, but luckily Guissepe Logan still plays "Over the Rainbow" almost exclusively from his park bench in Tompkins Square. I hear him every time I'm in the playground with my kids. Doug, you wrote a blog post about him once, right?

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

@BodegaMan
Greetings to you! Yes I did write a piece about Giuseppi Logan. Here it is:

bit.ly...

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

Forgot to say cheers to you, Gumby. Hope you get all the weather your psyche craves.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE UPATE...PLEDGE UPDATE...
We are $905 away from reaching 100% When we reach 100%, the dog's tail wags.

And so will yours.

10:57am gumby:

Thanks still b/p what I am finding is you must go through transcend as they say. But as Steve Earle wisely opinied at this point it's divorces and plate glass doors.

As always Douga top notch effort

10:57am Doug Schulkind:

Bülent Ortaçgil sould like Meic Stevens to me. Just goes to show you that I can't much tell Turkish from Welsh. Oh well.

10:58am Uncle Michael:

Enjoying your show here in Kansas, Doug.

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Delighted you're out there!

11:04am Uncle Michael:

Are you doing the show live, Doug, just doing the talkovers live...or just in chat live? I'm curious about how this works?

11:07am Doug Schulkind:

@Unc Mike
I am 100% live. Doing the show live from my home studio in Pittsburgh, via a webstream hosted by freeform radio WFMU in Jersey City, NJ. I did this show on WFMU for 25 years before moving to Pittsburgh. This webstream was started in 2010 initially as a platform to allow me to continue doing the show. I'm live on the stream every Friday 9-noon and Tuesday 6-7pm (Eastern time zone). There are six shows all told that air on this stream.

11:09am Carmichael:

Hiya Doug, happy Franken. Hello Gorton fisherman and Morton Salt girls.

11:09am Brian in UK:

Six years jail pending appeal for Burlesconi, could not happen to a nicer bloke.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20102215

11:10am Uncle Michael:

I listen to GTDS a lot but often can't catch any of the live shows. I appreciate you taking the time to talk shop. So you're logging the playlist for the website on the fly?

11:11am Brian in UK:

There are two briges over the Bosporus, there is talk of a third. Istanbul bypass!

11:15am duke:

Truly frightening - Romney and Meatloaf duet
http://t.co/2RQfgKqa
Meatloaf alone would have been scary

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Mike
Yes, I am typing all this crapola in whilst doing a live radio show. Call me crazy! But seriously, I love it.

11:17am Uncle Michael:

You're crazy.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Hey Carmichael! I'm guessing you don't get too many Snowicanes out by you.

11:18am Uncle Michael:

Is WFMU picking up a shoutcast stream from you in Pittsburgh and relaying it?

11:21am northguineahills:

This chawing tobacky song reminds me how some people treat their weed.

11:21am marcury:

In for the pledge! Off to work in 10

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Exactly! There are two other shows that are prerecorded with live playlists, one from Brooklyn and one from Portland, Oregon. There are three other live shows, one from Brattleboro, Vermont, another from Providence, RI, and a third that is produced live from Studio C at WFMU.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
Lovely pledge from the fabulous Marc of Wallkill and a FULL MOUSE PLEDGE from Greg in Howell, NJ

I thank you gents mightily!!!

11:25am Uncle Michael:

I broadcast Internet radio too and I like seeing how others approach doing it.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE UPDATE...PLEDGE UPDATE...
Unless I've screwed up the math real bad, it appears we are $514.99 away from reaching the GOAL!

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
New friend Uncle Michael in Topeka, Kansas, has just kicked in some scratch. That's mighty neighborly of you, Michael. Thanks!

11:31am Uncle Michael:

My pleasure.

11:32am listener james from westwood:

whoo-hoo! thanks for the pledges big and small, all!

11:32am Uncle Michael:

Doug, do you get any kind of live count of listener numbers?

11:33am Carmichael:

Nah Doug, we have sunstorms out here. If it gets below 40, people start to panic.

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
I do, but the count doesn't account for people listening via the iPhone app or those listening to the archives of the shows.

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
Listener Will from right down the road here in Pittsburgh has slapped down a whole mess of pledge! We're now at a shiny 80%!!

11:37am Uncle Michael:

I listen on an Android phone in my car, frequently. I connect to the FMU shoutcast server directly so that's probably counted.

11:38am gumby:

Just made my mouse pledge thanks Doug

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Impressive, Uncle Michael! It's like you are getting the show intravenously.

Gumby rules! (And Gumby bends. So of course, Gumby bends the rules!!) Thanks Gumby!

11:40am Uncle Michael:

It's not that tricky to find the server URL for most streams and XiiaLive is a great Android app that makes manually adding them simple. This is not a paid, celebrity endorsement.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

This killer Usizwe Namatshitshi record was shared at the exalted Electric Jive blog. Go here:

bit.ly...

PLEDGE UPDATE...PLEDGE UPDATE...
Now just $429.99 away from our goal!

11:44am Uncle Michael:

Doug, do the reporting and licensing requirements constrain you from playing requests?

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

PLEDGE ALERT...PLEDGE ALERT...
Oops! Make that $329.99, thanks to Listener Andy in Brooklyn. Thank you so much Andy!

Only 15% to go. Wow.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
We have no restrictions on what can be played.

11:47am Uncle Michael:

Very cool. And great job shaking cash out of the trees today!

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks. WFMU spring marathon is the real deal when the station raises about 80% of its annual budget. During that drive I have prizes to offer and am I'm actually allowed to talk about the fundraiser on the air. Good times!

11:51am Uncle Michael:

Could you ever be persuaded to play some Cumbia Sonidero Poblano from Pueblo, Mexico? Have you ever?

11:58am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

I've played a ton of cumbia, of course, but I'm not sure about cumbia sonidero poblano. I will do some investigating.

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, ndbob. Excellent listening!

11:59am Uncle Michael:

Yes, I've enjoyed it! I'll be back. I'm off on Fridays. Thanks Doug.

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Please to meet you, Uncle Michael. Send me an email with info about your broadcast.

12:00pm listener james from westwood:

thanks all ye pledgers, listeners, and djs who make this stream great!
and thanks for the fine friday of listening, doug!
be safe, everyone in the path of the frankenstorm!

12:01pm Uncle Michael:

I will! And more questions about yours!

12:03pm northguineahills:

Ack!!! It's that time already! I'm so behind! Trying to make chili for a chili cook-off and do resume coaching at the same time.

1:59pm Van in DC:

What? I missed all the Over the Rainbow Under the Rainbow? How did that happen?

We have a way cooler flag than that by the way in the Principality of Sealand, of which I am a Lord :)

2:03pm Doug Schulkind:

Your Lordship, I read the obituary for the amazing Roy Bates and am chagrined to say it was my introduction to Sealand.

2:12pm Van in DC:

Yep, sad day that was recently. And I really did buy a Lordship from there...even have an official ID card lol :)

2:20pm Doug Schulkind:

OMG, Van, did you really? I saw that they were for sale, but I deemed myself not worthy (i.e. too broke). You, Sir, have my utmost respect.

2:26pm Van in DC:

Yep, as an offbeat birthday present to myself! :)

2:30pm Doug Schulkind:

August 23, yes?

2:47pm Van in DC:

yes! :)

2:50pm Doug Schulkind:

It looks like August 23, 2013 is a FRIDAY!

3:02pm Van in DC:

sweet!
