WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 01/18/13

Listener comments!

8:21am Brian in Snowland:

Doug Schulkind to the drug testing station. We need to ensure sufficient narcotics are in the blood stream.
Thank Rudi, that image is not a gif.

8:42am Doug Schulkind:

C'mere and kiss me, you big dummy!

8:55am Parq:

Well, you can just rock me to sleep tonight.

8:56am Brian in Snowland:

Hello parq you ole grouch.

8:57am Uncle Michael:

I could never quite pull off the 'fro...or the maracas. Good morning, Doug and drumheads.

8:57am Doug Schulkind:

I'll be your bosom of Abraham, Parq.

🥁

8:57am duke:

good morning. That's a scary dummy!

8:58am glenn:

how come we can't listen to the stream via flash player? or am i missing something?

8:58am Brian in Snowland:

Have you got downwind of this one, Doug?

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Don't be scared, Duke. Unless you're a termite.

@Glenn
Try this:
www.wfmu.org...

8:59am Uncle Michael:

Ventriloquial figures are terrifying.

9:00am Parq:

Actually, I'll have to bug out before the show is an hour old, as usual, but I gotta make an appearance, especially with this new avatar thingy.

9:00am Doug Schulkind:

Looks like goodie, Brian in Snowland!

9:01am Parq:

Wait, there's a flash player file for the GDS stream? Oh man, I gotta try this out.

9:01am annie:

omg, the avatars are up!!... i can give you five minutes then my ride comes for work..

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Five minutes with you, Annie — a lifetime!

9:02am Uncle Michael:

Is that a compliment?

9:03am Rich in Washington:

Hola, Doug!
That vent pic is terrifying!

9:03am Van in DC:

morning all

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Unca Mikey! Rich in Washy! Van in DeeCee!

9:04am Michael:

Morning everybody. Quite the chillest here in Boston.

9:04am Van in DC:

@glenn - you can listen via flash player but far as I know only on archive listening to the stream

9:05am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

9:06am Van in DC:

Someday the rest of us nobodys might can have avatars / icon thingies. I guess there's I failed a test or something. Maybe I was asleep in class.

9:07am Brian in Snowland:

@ndbob Am I right to wish you a belated birthday?

9:07am Shaun:

Afternoon from here. I always thought I'd make a good radio ventriloquist: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Brough

9:07am annie:

all will be revealed van

9:07am Uncle Michael:

I wonder if we're going to hear the Atlanta Rhythm Section. I have an opinion about that...

9:09am ndbob:

Heya Annie!

9:09am still b/p:

This fear and vilification....it's Charlie McCarthyism...'s what it is.

9:09am Parq:

Van:
tinyurl.com...

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Van, check the very top of the playlist page. There is the link to "register" to the WFMU Friendship Society.

@Shaun
Good afternoon to you!

9:10am Uncle Michael:

I've never been able to master the art of radio ventriloquism. People can still hear my lips move.

9:11am annie:

ok, now i have to split.. ... love you all ....

9:11am Jeff Golick:

Hola! Holla! Yolo!

9:11am Van in DC:

Oh, wow, so I guess there is a live listen via the flash player then. Who knew?

9:12am holland oats:

drumma! peoples!

9:14am Michael:

Somewhat embarrassed to admit I had a Danny O’Day ventriloquist dummy thing when I was young. There I said it.

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Still b/p! El Jefe Golick! Holland Oats! Every one a gentleman!

And welcome, Michael!

9:16am Shaun:

@Uncle Michael LOL. I think poor Peter Brough used to call it a gottle of geer just to reassure listeners he was trying.

9:19am ndbob:

woke up about three minutes before the show so just really waking up

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Michael you can only love who love. We are not here to judge.

9:20am Jeff Golick:

So I'm reminded this morning that the book MAGIC, discovered on my parents' bookshelves at too early an age, scarred me for life. So thanks for that.

9:20am Holland_Oats:

avatar testing, avatar testing...

9:21am Rich in Washington:

I recently bought a copy of one of those Danny O'Day, learn ventriloquism LPs and inside was not only the instruction booklet (kind of rare) but also some notebook pages containing the owner's handwritten routine.

9:21am still b/p:

Have only four cumbia tracks in my possession. They're fun, but....necesito más.

9:23am Jeff Golick:

MAGIC was by William Goldman! Whoa; had no idea. I mean, c'mon, though: i43.tower.com...

9:25am Webhamster Henry:

¡Hola Doug! We had that Danny O'Day LP too. Maybe that's why a talk with my mouth closed.

9:25am Jeff Golick:

Digging deeper, the movie made of Goldman's MAGIC was directed by Richard Attenborough, and stars Anthony Hopkins, Ann-Margaret, Burgess Meredith, and David Ogden Stiers. www.imdb.com... Oh, 1978! You slay me.

9:25am Michael:

Wow Rich - quite a find!

9:25am Jeff Golick:

I think I saw an episode of Love Boat with that same cast, come to think of it.

9:26am ndbob:

How do you create an icon?

9:27am Michael:

Magic is/was a dark thriller. I haven't seen it since it came out but I remember it pretty well - Hopkins was good.

9:27am Shaun:

@Jeff And a Goldman directed film with Tony Hopkins. To go with the Michael Redgrave section of Dead of Night for ventophobes[?].

9:27am holland oats:

click profile settings up top

9:29am ndbob:

There's no profile settings showing for me - wondering if I never formally registered

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy Webhamster H!

9:30am Jeff Golick:

Yeah, Shaun. The 1970s were not a good decade for ventophobes -- (I'm going with it) -- like me.

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Send me an email reminding me that you need cumbia. I'll hook you up.

9:36am glenn:

let yourself go, y'all.

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Are there any links at the very top of the playlist page?

9:37am ndbob:

The Harlem Hamfats were great - and not from Harlem

9:39am ndbob:

@Doug - all the years and I never realized I had never registered - now you can see White Cloud, the first of what are now three albino buffalo here

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

And an extra warm welcome to ndbob's avatar!

9:42am ndbob:

Thanks:) Sometime I will switch to the other thing Jamestown is noted for - the world's largest buffalo statue

9:43am Parq:

9:44am glenn:

when english just doesn't get your meaning across - theweek.com...

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob!
Not all these years. The WFMU avatar thingamagig just started!

9:45am ndbob:

@Doug - right - but I have never registered so I had no profile

9:46am Jeff Golick:

Could you make this show less entertaining for a while, Doug? I'm trying to plan a radio program over here, and you're not making it any easier.

9:46am glenn:

the registering thing just started yesterday.

9:46am holland oats:

this is just a ploy so ken can take our guns

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
No, the whole registering thing with a profile is brand new! Just started this week.

9:48am Webhamster Henry:

I'm now iconified.

9:48am still b/p:

Graaaaaaaacias para mas cumbia más tarde!
And this is a really great happy set right here right now, too!

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

@El Jefe Golick
Good timing. The crappy portion of the show is coming up!

9:48am Rich in Washington:

Lost the stream there for a spell, thanks to my crap ISP. I blame Obama.

9:50am Jeff Golick:

What happens if we "star" one of the song selections over to the left there <<< ?

9:52am ndbob:

Ah OK - that explains it - I just suddenly saw all these avatars and wondered - seemed everyone was familiar with the profile tab

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

If you click a star, I believe you are "favoriting" a track or program on your profile page.

9:52am Rich in Washington:

That Jiving Janitors song title is a little racy without a comma, I must say.

🥁

9:52am duke:

@jeff if you select the star the tune and link to the playlist goes to your favorites list. I'm only seeing stars on the talkover music

9:54am Rich in Washington:

It's the difference between 'Let's eat, Grandma' vs 'Lets eat Grandma'.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

The stars ARE there on the green and gray backgrounds, but they sure are hard to see.

9:55am Jeff Golick:

Thanks, duke, Doug. @duke, you might need to adjust the contrast on yr set. I see stars -- SO MANY STARS!! -- but their pretty faint.

9:55am Uncle Michael:

I hope I'm GTDR good when I grow up. I'm loving this show.

9:55am Jeff Golick:

THEY'RE. GAH.

9:56am Jeff Golick:

(Good thing listener james wasn't around to see that copyediting gaffe.)

🥁

9:56am duke:

you're right If I mouse over the right side of the tune title, it shows up.

9:56am Rich in Washington:

I'm liking this new, enhanced comment thing. It's pretty nifty.

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Are you enjoying the jiving, juniors?

9:56am Jeff Golick:

Ken/WFMU should get on some kind of FAQ thing for us plebes.

🥁

9:58am duke:

@uncle Michael - caught your show last week. really enjoyed it

9:59am Rich in Washington:

@Doug: That's funny! I swore that said janitors. Maybe there's some freudian slip there or something. Or I need to put my glasses on. It's 7am here, folks.

9:59am Andy S.:

warren Storm! Met him in Houston in '78 or '79 -- told me he'd been playing since the '50s but that I was his first interview.

10:03am holland oats:

speaking of upsala - my old band played e orange back in the day (scharpling's pre-best show) - all i remember is that it was freezing cold, we ate wendy's chili, and a box of foam peanuts broke open on the drummer's head

10:03am ndbob:

Those Florida Folklife sets are great

10:04am ndbob:

@Andy - the early Warren Storm repcrdings (on Nasco) are great

10:06am Uncle Michael:

Thanks duke.

10:07am Paul Sherratt:

But I love doing those calculations . Such a sense of achievement !

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Brother Paul Sherratt! Those little math problems do help stave off the Alzheimer's. If just for an extra moment or two.

10:10am holland oats:

@paul & now how am i supposed to think twice about those fart jokes?

10:10am still b/p:

Connection blues & breaks -- My phone cord to the DSL modem has been way toooo long, the tech support people insist, and the cause of sputtery gummy troubles. So a shorter one for the moment has my computer and telephone placed in unlikely spots with cables stretched out east and west across two rooms to jack and outlets, and I'm good 'n likely to trip and break a leg today - an OOF! Moo listener -- and damage the gear before I get a longer ethernet cable later, 'cuz using a long-ass one of those is supposed to be fine.
That's my story.

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
Wasn't "Foam Peanuts" the name of your band?!?

10:12am holland oats:

@drumma phoam

10:12am Paul Sherratt:

That was my thinking, Doug ...

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Andy S!

10:12am Jeff Golick:

Speaking of Alzheimer's, was I alone in thinking that Dear Abby should have kept going, even with the onset of dementia? Might have made for some fascinating columns.

10:13am glenn:

as long as the fart joke is not racist or sexist, let 'er rip, i say.

10:13am holland oats:

ps - with no math, no preview needed, just a post button below, thx

10:14am Jeff Golick:

Dear Abby: I think my wife is cheating on me. Should I hire a PI to spy on him, or confront him directly? -Foaming in Florida

10:15am Paul Sherratt:

Had to put a face or two to that wondeful set-opener :
http://tinyurl.com/a5vndwy

10:15am Jeff Golick:

Dear Foaming,
First approach the wizard. Help my sister's brisket to accompany green yawns.
-Abby

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
Nothing worse than a racist fart.

@El Jefe Golick
It worked for Reagan (i.e., his entire second term)

10:16am Jeff Golick:

(And yes, I do look forward to fanning the flames of hell.)

10:16am holland oats:

@paul necky

10:17am Brian in Snowland:

How're you doing, Paul?

10:18am Jeff Golick:

[www.nytimes.com...

🥁

10:18am duke:

I think John Prine nailed Abby's style a long time ago www.youtube.com...

10:19am Alex in Illinois:

@still b/p: I had an issue like that when I moved into my current place. The placement of phone jacks made no sense for both phones or computers. So the phone is cordless, and for the computers, I bought me a router and set up a wireless network.

@Jeff Golick: No, you were not alone. I thought of that too, but I did not mention that to my wife, who is a social worker who works with the elderly.

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Methinks the flames of hell are nothing but racist fart breezes.

10:20am ndbob:

I really admired Abby and Ann - for the most part

10:20am lucy:

brooklyn listening -- happy to have you here!!

10:21am Van in DC:

SO busy at work again this morning! Listening but not able to pay much attention to comments board...

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Lucy! I am so happy to be... there.

10:22am Uncle Michael:

duke, I played the prine on my show last night.

10:22am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Alex in Illinois!

10:23am Jeff G:

@duke: That's a great tune and perf; thanks.

10:23am merv:

Hey Doug, was that Unidentified Thai orchestra the same one that was on the video of a thai band shredding at some wedding while no one paid attention? These guys: tinyurl.com... whose name translates to "Khun John Ritter's Harp Gallery application"?

10:24am Brian in Snowland:

For those Nick Drake fans present you might be interested to hear his mum Molly sing.
http://www.alimentation.cc/nick_drake/cds/molly-drake.html

10:26am Brian in Snowland:

Ride that vibration down.
http://afrocubanlatinjazz4.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/ba-cissoko-griot-land-guinea-2006-256k.html

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

@Merv
Not sure if the Thai Orchs are the same. Here is the cover of the LP I played:

bit.ly...

The original blog post of this is no longer available or I send you the link.

10:27am Uncle Michael:

WHere does Prasanna hail from, Doug?

10:29am merv:

Probably different-- that seems older, these guys are around now... Fantastic stuff...

10:29am Parq:

Wow, the live stream Flash player works! This is going to be the first time I've listened to GDS at work (not counting on-air fill-ins) since Doug moved. All praise to the mighty stream team. And the Hypno-Toad.

10:31am Paul Sherratt:

Brian,
Good afternoon. Up to about six inches so far.

10:32am Jeff G:

Well, Paul, we can see you are excited for this morning's show, then!

10:32am Jeff G:

Hey now!

10:33am Paul Sherratt:

Brian, I've long had a soft spot for Nick's sister, too.

10:35am Schnormal:

hey happy birthday Amanda, it's my birthday too! :D

10:36am ndbob:

Happy Birthday Schnormal!

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

Situation Schormal! Hap-B-Day!

10:37am Paul Sherratt:

Jeff G.
This Friday pm ( here ) show is more or less the only thing that does it for me nowadays. Was having this very conversation with proprietor John of Henry's Records, Burton on Trent, UK when he rang earlier this morning ( here )

10:38am Schnormal:

Thanks! Took the day off from work -- nice to hear the show in real time :)

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

@Merv
Hey, are you aware that HBR is back?!

hillbilly-researcher.blogspot.com

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

@Brother Paul Sherratt
If you put your speakers in the window and turn up the volume it — may — help melting process.

10:43am Jeff G:

@Paul: I hear you. Can't help myself sometimes...

10:46am Rich in Washington:

Imma try to skate across town on the ice to make it to the office, hopefully in time to catch the rest of the show.
Later, peeps!

10:46am ndbob:

a few flurries today - but down as low as -25 this weekend

10:47am Paul Sherratt:

Jeff G,
I confess that I was entering in to a bit of North (me ) v South ( Brian ) rivalry with that provocative post ...

10:47am Brian in Snowland:

Think we should have got a long legged dog.

Hey Jeff G, you took the words right out of my mouth!

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Excuse me, ndbob, but did you say -25°F? Crikey!

10:48am Brian in Snowland:

Paul we have only about four inches so far!! Soft southerners.

10:49am Paul Sherratt:

Doug,
Yusef has cleared a path to the bird bath !

🥁

10:49am Artie:

Hey! Getcherself a Hawt Dawg!!

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Have some havarti, Artie!

10:51am Brian in Snowland:

The sun is out, the boids is singing. People are smiling. The power of three faces.

10:52am Brian in Snowland:

Gonna rechristen him Wet Willie.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

@Brother Paul Sherratt
Yusef would be pleased to know it.

10:55am Matt from Springfield:

G'morning, Drummers and avatars!
Listening in with the Beta GTDR FLASH!!!! Stream!! It works it works it works!

10:55am Uncle Michael:

This Marc Levin is sweet.

10:56am dc pat:

well motherfucker! I'm logged in!

10:56am dc pat:

AND NO MATH!

10:56am Van in DC:

Agreed!

10:57am holland oats:

<-- arf arf!

10:57am dc pat:

dang it, can't stay though. Some people's jobs depend on meetings...

10:58am Matt from Springfield:

Brian in Snowland, UK: absolutely right from the get-go: good thing that dummy is NOT a GIF!
(But by suggesting that publicly, we're only jinxing ourselves; be prepared for a disturbing, almost fatal moving version of that on Ken's show next Wednesday ;)

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Matt from Springfield and dc pat (and Van, again).

Matt, where are you accessing this Beta GTDR flash??

11:01am Paul Sherratt:

holland,
Are you any breed in particular ?

11:04am Matt from Springfield:

@Doug: Courtesy of YOU @8:59! :)

www.wfmu.org...
Open in another window or tab, and ENJOY!

11:05am holland oats:

@paul muttin' honey

11:06am Matt from Springfield:

Carmichael taught me the QuickTime workaround almost a year ago, it's how I've listened in to the streams at work. But it always times out when your screensaver comes on and computer locks up. Flash has zero problems with that--so I can listen while working long periods w/o re-connecting.

11:08am Webhamster Henry:

I could swear this is like the tune Charlie Chaplin sings in Modern Times.

11:10am Uncle Michael:

A version of the Nino Rota was included in my "clowns" themed show.

🥁

11:10am Artie:

Our little wooden headed friend reminded me of my old nemesis Rudy, of the fantastic 'Funhouse' pinball machine. bit.ly...

11:11am Matt from Springfield:

Ah, the Nino Rota Clowns--I remember this unusually manic bed :)

11:12am kat330:

Hello, hello, Doug and all Drummersomes!

11:12am still b/p:

That is the tune, and I'd thought for a long time it was one of Charlie's own compositions, but apparently it ain't, despite his many other accomplished musical makin's.

11:12am Jeff G:

Ok this is a weird one.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

@Matt from Springfield
Oh THAT! You gave it such a fancy sounding name. I thought you were referring to something else. That Flash Player for the stream has been around for a while, but wasn't working until recently.

11:14am Matt from Springfield:

New last page of Mein Kampf:
"On second thought, all of that is a horrifying, disgusting idea. Disregard the previous."

11:14am kat330:

@ndbob: Donna the Buffalo?
@holland oats: Aww, good doggie!
@dc pat: Your avatar is exactly what I've always imagined for you in my mind's eye.
@merv: A Ewan McGregor doppelganger?
@duke: I love ladybugs! But is that one crawling around in its own excrement?

11:15am Matt from Springfield:

@Doug: Fancying up names is a vital ingredient for releasing new innovations! :)
Hiya kat!

11:16am kat330:

Hey, Matt!

11:16am still b/p:

The nonsense lyrics for the song in the movie were Charlie's own, of course.
Put THIS is your ventriloquist act:
www.charliechaplin.com...

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Hello kat330! Nice to see ya.

11:18am kat330:

Geez, appears I've missed a boatload of brilliant blues. :, That makes me a loser thrice per Charlie's Jan. 10th playlist this week. I've now had two opportunities to win Leonard Cohen tix by phone, but wasn't the winning caller either time. [this morning's giveaway is why I'm late here, btw]

11:19am holland oats:

@artie HAH! totally looks like rudy. i played an old funhouse machine over thanxgiving in springfield, mo (at www.1984arcade.com... ), brought me back!

11:20am ndbob:

..back from a phone call.... heya kat!

11:20am glenn:

is charlie feathers using a flanger? is nothing sacred?

11:21am Matt from Springfield:

Charlie Feathering up our music beds will some great honky tonk blues.

11:22am kat330:

But now I'm here, my luck is improving already -- fine Feathers.

@Webhamster Henry: Is that a bought or homemade melodica dingus?

11:22am Van in DC:

So it looks like this FMU history was made on Julie's show recently? That appears to be when the Mighty Kenzo did his avatar magic, far as I can tell...

11:23am ndbob:

@Doug yep - www.accuweather.com...

11:23am kat330:

@Van: I saw it as far back as Jan. 4th I think.

11:23am Shaun:

No, the manically laughing sailor automaton in Sleuth is scarier...been thinking about this. http://arseh.at/4efh

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

@Van in DC
I believe the new WFMU Friendship Society listener/DJ community was unveiled yesterday during Faye's show.

11:24am Matt from Springfield:

Sammi Smith!
Is this a Kristofferson composition?

11:25am still b/p:

I would marry a spirited woman named Melodica Dingus in a frontier town.

11:25am Uncle Michael:

I was gonna guess Lee Hazlewood.

11:26am ndbob:

I met Charlie Feathers briefly - at a record show near DC in the 70s

11:26am Matt from Springfield:

Yes, the avatars starting posting during Julie's show, btw 5:21 and 5:26 a.m. Other david proudly stratled both sides of the divide!

@kat: The playlist avatars, not the one you could upload once registration began. Notice how everything moved right to fit the avatar space in.

11:27am Paul Sherratt:

See Sammi singing that gem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNRzzHtUNi4
She has a mouth which reminds me of Mary Gauthier ..

11:28am Doug Schulkind:

"Saunders Ferry Lane" is written by Janette Tooley &, Jean Whitehead.

11:28am kat330:

@Doug: The Jan. 4th date is when I've seen the first avatars of the beta testers show up. Such as Bryce's Jan. 4th playlist. IOW, Kenzo took everything back to the point you registered as a beta tester.

11:29am Paul Sherratt:

Doug:
Let this set last till dawn ! ( here )

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

@kat330
Ah so. So the avatars popped up retroactively then. I only saw the thing go public yesterday. (I'm always the last to know.)

@Paul my Brother
I wish...

11:30am Michael:

Yea, I loved that Ruth Minnikin - who she?

11:30am ndbob:

@kat That's White Cloud - the first of three albino buffalo here

11:31am Ike:

Sounds good! Say, did you know this kind of music is now on regular FM in D.C. 24/7? WAMU did something right for a change and put their bluegrass channel on the air (just a translator, but regular FM nonetheless). It ain't no FMU, but it's better than nothing if you're driving with no Internet in D.C.

11:31am Matt from Springfield:

I like Ruth Minnikin! And along with this Morrison & West, seems like two fantastic new albums!
And thanks Doug!

11:31am Uncle Michael:

Lamb stew with lemon and figs tonight with minted yogurt and saffron couscous. Who's in?

11:33am Van in DC:

I was just going by the conversation on Julie's playlist, when The Mighty Kenzo popped in to try something new :) (Getting ready to archive listen after this here program)

http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/49062

11:33am kat330:

Actually, I see Doug's and my avatars on this Drummersome of Jan 4th, too. [that was my first test of being logged into my account]

11:33am Matt from Springfield:

Hey Ike!
My Subaru is newer, and has an HD Radio, so I preset the high quality 88.5-2 bluegrass channel. But before I got that car and drove around in my old Nissan, I did find the lower power FM repeater and listened on occasion.

11:34am still b/p:

Spoon me!

11:34am kat330:

@UM: If I liked lamb, that sounds marvelous! We're having tikka masala, this time with cubed pork loin instead of the more usual chicken.

11:34am Matt from Springfield:

@UM: OMG YES!! I'll start running to Kansas now!!

11:35am Webhamster Henry:

Pump Organ? ! or Sruti box?

11:35am Parq:

11:36am kat330:

@WH: Sruti box I guess!

11:36am Matt from Springfield:

@kat: Sounds great--I love tikka masala. It should adapt well, I once had an amazing "pork maRsala" at a restaurant; like a super moist pork chop and marsala sauce combined.

11:36am Shaun:

'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA'.

11:39am kat330:

@Parq: I love Gahan Wilson! After the fact last week, I thought how appropriate it would have been to post a link to one of my fave Wilson cartoons (if I could have found it): A sullen-looking couple seated on a train (or subway). Outside their window you see a sign pointing in the direction they're traveling that reads "Nowhere."

11:40am Ike:

@Matt, oh, I thought it was new. Well, that tells you how often I get into D.C. -- not very often. So is the signal range for 88.5-HD2 good? I've heard some HD stations don't reach very far.

11:40am Alex in Illinois:

@Uncle Mike: I'm in!

11:40am Jeff G:

Speaking of "new ones," <plug alert>
D:O Radio on Monday will be part 1 of our 2-part "2012 faves" programming. There was just that much good music released last year. Or so we thought. Hope you can drop by between noon and 3pm EST! Doug will be manning the playlist, if that's any incentive. </end plug>

11:41am Carmichael:

OK, made it for the last 20 minutes. I hope you didn't play anything good.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Heya Shaun and Carmichael.

11:43am ndbob:

Hello Carmichael!

11:43am Parq:

Kat, one of the most trenchant for me shows an older couple in the supermarket, surrounded by cans and boxes marked "Shit", "Crap", "Junk", "Crud" and so forth, and the Missus is saying, "And every day it costs more!"

11:44am Uncle Michael:

Count me as another Gahan Wilson fan.

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

I think all the avatars on the playlist page are just gorgeous! I'm really glad you're all here.

11:44am kat330:

Oh, Shaun, a creepy avatar indeed. So would this one be: pmcmovieline.files.wordpress.com...

11:45am kat330:

@Parq: Ha! Gotta give it to Gahan!

11:46am ndbob:

@kat For sure!

11:47am kat330:

We're glad YOU'RE here first so we could be here, Doug!

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Today's Drummer Some is going to go over by about 5 minutes. Adjust your snacking plans.

11:48am Parq:

By the way, gang, my strangely Orwelian work puter won't let me do friends on this system, so I'll friend all of the usual suspects over the weekend.

11:48am Matt from Springfield:

@Ike: In Springfield (12-15 miles or so from DC zero milestone), all the HD stations have the strength and quality of FM or higher.

11:50am Alex in Illinois:

I will register and avatarize when I get home. Right now, I am at work, so I do not have access to my home email, and I am not sure that I will be able to upload a photo from my employer's network.

11:51am northguineahills:

I have to admit, I've never heard that Somali track before. Go figure. It was actually really shakin'.

11:51am kat330:

Even if I can't seem to win their ticket giveaways, we are blessed with a pretty fine public radio system in Louisville area. The AA frequency (WFPK) has a decent playlist and WFPL has all the usual BBC news and NPR programming, and WUOL has classical music.

11:51am Shaun:

@kat330 An unheimlich beaut. (the blue baby, I mean).

11:52am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

I read "Magic" on my mother's bookshelf as well. It plus pretty much the entire rest of the bookshelf scarred me in what have turned out to be useful ways.

11:53am Matt from Springfield:

@Parq: It IS a strangely Orwellian system--listen to music and exchange comments if you want, but don't you make *friends* doing it! :)

11:53am kat330:

@Doug: I can postpone making lunch, but the Philo high noon call will be coming in. I can catch it in archive along with the first sets though.

11:54am Rich in Washington:

I think a fear of vaguely anthropomorphic puppets is a healthy thing.

11:54am still b/p:

I would marry a dispirited woman named Strange Leore Welly Ann in a dystopian town.

11:55am Rich in Washington:

The movie trailer for Magic scared the hell out of me as a kid.

11:55am Van in DC:

Enjoyed the show Doug! Thanks as always!

11:56am kat330:

@Kenzo: As a kid there was a funhouse at the local carnival park (Fontaine Ferry). It was called Hilarity Hall and had these two moving mannequin clowns laughing really loud. I had nightmares about that couple.

11:56am Rich in Washington:

@Kenzo: Been enjoying your recent sets.

11:58am kat330:

Have a safe and lovely weekend to those I'll not cross paths with until next week!

Thanks for the Friday ear treats as always, Doug!

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

@NGH
'allo mate!

11:58am Rich in Washington:

@Kat330: Have you seen the somewhat common carnival automata called Laughin' Sal? It's really horrifying. It's a mechanical, redheaded chubby lady with a really scary sounding laugh track/recording.. I think she's sometimes dressed up like a (1930's) Hillbilly lady.

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for Brian in Snowland for reminding me to listen to this majestic voice more often...

11:59am Matt from Springfield:

Kenzo, kudos on the C64 command screen!

The new system is going great, as well! The only thing to point out, is the sometimes jarring color of registered users names against certain playlist backgrounds. Is there any way for hosts to choose the color of their user name links? Some cases it would need to be a different color than their existing scheme but to blend in better.

11:59am Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever: lastever.org):

Thanks, Rich! I've been enjoying doing them!

11:59am Uncle Michael:

Today was my missus' first GTDS and she's loved it.

11:59am Rich in Washington:

Thanks for another wonderful show, Doug!

12:00pm kat330:

@Van: Is that an Alien "egg"?

12:00pm Brian in Snowland:

Doug, still in love with him. My wife suspects. No she knows, I tell her it's the voice.
Toumani's dad on kora.

12:00pm Rich in Washington:

Oh, yes. I had nearly forgotten - thanks also, Kenzo for the swell new interface, so we can yammer at our DJs.

12:01pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

12:02pm Shaun:

Love this Diarra. Is there a year on it, Doug?

12:02pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Matt: Those links are coming up in the link color that is specified in that playlist color combo. So, technically, DJ's can control it, if they realize to do so. (Some DJ's specify ONLY a background color and no link colors, which leads to ambiguous link colors.)

12:02pm Matt from Springfield:

Have a good weekend kat, and everyone else!
Thanks for the fine tunes and questionable pictures, Doug!

12:04pm Doug Schulkind:

@Shaun
I have only a digital copy. No liner notes.

12:04pm Matt from Springfield:

@Kenzo: Thanks! I'll contact DJs for whom their new user color doesn't sync with their overall scheme and suggest a more suitable color (I'm a cartographer, so I know whereof I speak ;)
Keep up the great work!

12:05pm Brian in Snowland:

Shaun, I think this was around '75. He died in '77.

12:05pm Shaun:

Got there now: www.guardian.co.uk...

12:05pm Doug Schulkind:

@Kenzo
Can I change the color of the stars?

12:06pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever):

Doug: Alas, stars cannot currently be adjusted. I know, they sorta fade into your colors.

12:06pm still b/p:

Someone must certainly have said so here before...but it's ALWAYS a good kind of Good Friday when I can catch this show. Thanks, Doug.

12:07pm Shaun:

Cheers, Doug and Brian. Will look into it further.

12:08pm Brian in Snowland:

Shaun the comp runs from 1970 to '76 covering 4 or 5 records. Love to have seen him live.

12:08pm Van in DC:

@kat - yep :)

12:08pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the music, Doug. Thanks for the registration, Kenzo. See y'all later!

12:09pm Doug Schulkind:

@Kenzo
Faded stars is a perfect metaphor...

12:09pm Doug Schulkind:

I had a blast today. Thanks for hanging with me gang!

12:10pm Van in DC:

@Kenzo - nice work my adoptee :)

12:10pm Michael:

Thanks Doug. Good weekend all!
