WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 03/15/13

Listener comments!

Show some crazy love for your wacky radio/stream team. Today is your last chance to contribute to WFMU in the name of GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO.

I have some massively appealing CDs to offer as prizes today. All pledges of $15 or more will put you in the random drawings. I hope you'll all pledge at least $75 to automatically receive my marathon premium, HEY MR. DEEJAY! (see it here: bit.ly...). A pledge at the premium level of $75 will also get you in the running for the grand prize, a 3-CD Afro pop fun-pak!

PLEDGE LIKE CRAZY!

7:49am Van in DC:

Okay, while I play catch up on the previous show...ha! What a great group photo of GTDR! Amanda obviously was crazy hungry and needed a Snickers! :)

7:51am Doug Schulkind:

We could all use a Snickers or ten.

7:56am Van in DC:

I wish my new driver license photo looked even half as good as any to the left there.

🥁

8:25am Brian Trauma:

Quick hello/goodbye, Doug. Quality assured as ever.
FREEEEEEEEEEEFORM FOREVEEEEEEEEEEER

8:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr. Trauma
You off on holiday? Have a wunnerful time! (Or even if you're just headed to market.)

🥁

8:33am duke:

Those pictures are exactly how I imagined the Drummer Radio DJs looked.

8:34am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
You've always had a wild imagination.

8:57am Holly in NC:

Hello friends - can't listen, just stopping in briefly to share good thoughts :-)

8:58am Van in DC:

Doug, what is playing on the stream right now? I like it...

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you, Holly! For, you know, what you did.

🥁

9:02am listener james from westwood:

morning all! truer words at 9am on a friday were never spoken: give the drummer some!

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

Speak, Brother Listener James from Westwood, Speak!

9:03am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Warm breezes, to you, ndbob!

9:06am Van in DC:

Well whatever it was it sounded nice. The bells and stuff. Melodic. And stuff.

Looks like I get to miss most of the first set. Have to make a house call to one of my users in distress, here at work.

9:08am glenn:

is that the 1940's morning zoo? and when did morning radio shows actually take on that oersona?

9:09am Uncle Michael:

What a motley crew. Faces for radio, indeed.

9:11am glenn:

oh jeeeez. a barenaked ladies cover on g.t.d.r.? i'm sorta dismayed.

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

@Van in DC
That "bells" music you were hearing was Cults Percussion Ensemble. A group of Scottish school girls in 1979. One member of the group was Evelyn Glennie, the deaf master percussionist. Or I should say the future Dame Evelyn Glennie.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

WFMU does indeed accept pledges in the form of Stony Pony Wine!

🥁

9:14am listener james from westwood:

i have shaken the facebook and twitter trees. i know where these people live. they better come through.

9:14am Uncle Michael:

I'm certain glenn is kidding.

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

Oh yeah!

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

Give. A little. Something

🥁

9:16am listener james from westwood:

heh, the barenaked ladies only wanted a million dollars. these fine folk want a million MILLION.
a.b.p. a=always, b=be, p=pledging.

9:16am Uncle Michael:

I'm giving my only-mildly-divided attention.

9:19am webbie:

Cheers Lou & Jason! Happy final marathon days.

9:21am Van in DC:

Wow! Back just in time!

9:21am still b/p:

still b=be p=pledging....?

9:22am glenn:

that's the other playlist, webbie.

9:23am Terry:

A little pledgey-wedge coming your way from ATL

9:24am Van in DC:

I <3 this so much :)

9:25am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! scratch my heart please!

9:26am Doug Schulkind:

I see it Terry! Thanks! (Proper thank-you coming up.)

9:28am Van in DC:

Just saw the "extremely rare" records auctions on the FMU front page. Rats. Can't get to them...work blocks eBay :(

9:32am glenn:

the orioles? you think?

9:36am ndbob:

There's an early Roy Acuff song that sounds exactly like Jim and Bob

9:37am ndbob:

Check out their website www.floridamemory.com...

🥁

9:50am listener james from westwood:

makes you wonder how much was lost. at least we can revel in how much was saved. and in the station that plays it!

9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Brother Paul Sherratt, the bloke from Stoke, has spoke(n) with a FULL MOUSE PLEDGE!

🥁

9:58am listener james from westwood:

woo-hoo! thanks, paul, and everyone who cracked open the piggybank thus far. (the piggy will forgive you if it's for fmu.)

9:58am ndbob:

wtg Paul!

9:59am Van in DC:

Woof! Moo!

9:59am Uncle Michael:

Was the bloke from Stoke's mouse poke, bespoke?

🥁

10:01am listener james from westwood:

i love hearing coughs, folks' kids, companion or barnyard animals, etc. during field recordings. that's what life sounds like. and you won't hear that life on top 40 radio.

10:02am Webhamster Henry:

WFMU Hits of the past with the Black Lodge Singers!

10:08am Matt F:

I am diggin' this scene. With a gangster lean!

10:08am holland oats:

danger! danger!

10:09am holland oats:

lijadu was re-ished by knitting factory i do b'lieve (not academy)

10:13am Van in DC:

Fun fact: Anagram for "Give the Drummer Some"

"The Drummer: Give Some!!" :)

10:13am Jeff Golick:

Love this tune -- CASHING IN REVOLUTION!

10:14am glenn:

anagram for van in dc - you funny, van.

10:14am Doug Schulkind:

Right you are, holland oats. Thanks!

10:17am Van in DC:

MICE RULE!

10:17am joe:

'ello folks

10:20am ndbob:

hello joe!.. and yes they do Van:)

🥁

10:23am listener james from westwood:

lavender diamond is transfixing. stop-in-your-tracks beautiful.

10:24am marcury:

Good Morning all, long time no ocean!

10:26am ndbob:

morning and wb marcury!

🥁

10:27am listener james from westwood:

hey there marcury and all paddling along on the stream!

10:30am Jeff Golick:

OHMAGERD!!

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Marcury!

10:32am Uncle Michael:

Hello Marcury! I don't know you!

🥁

10:33am Artie:

Hot side hot, cold side cold. Greetings Marcury!

10:33am marcury:

Hey all thanks for the welcome. LOVE THE DRUMMER!

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

Big radio hugs to you, Marcury.

10:37am holland oats:

haha

10:38am Uncle Michael:

I prefer a gassy, greasy, leaky cart machine.

10:40am marcury:

More Can, Yes yes yes!

10:41am Van in DC:

STREETCAR!

10:42am joe:

I love that fact that so many diffrent DJs are playing this Can set.

10:43am joe:

This track has such a great psych proto punk thing going on I think it is my favorite so far from what I have heard on the set.

10:43am holland oats:

proto ocd

10:44am joe:

Major props to whom ever it was that provided the station with so many copies of this this set to give away.

🥁

10:46am listener james from westwood:

there's no way to predict what track will be an fmu crossover hit. there's a vibe they just strike. i imagine the new bin is the source of quite a number of them.

10:47am Uncle Michael:

Are you...waiting...for the *bus*?

10:50am XPat of Leche de Noche:

waiting for the streaker. My son and I sang that all day yesterday..

10:50am glenn:

our new streetcars - torontoist.com...

10:52am trish:

Thanks for the link, Glenn. I noticed a headline saying they'd done a test evening run of the new ones. Accessibility ++, eh?

10:52am Van in DC:

Here in DC we're frequently waiting for the Metro

🥁

10:52am listener james from westwood:

w00t! you go, hugo!

10:53am XPat of Leche de Noche:

you said Van. That's why I stay away from Metro/bus and ride a bike.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks Joe! Hiya Xpat of Leche de Noche! Thanks Glenn!

10:55am glenn:

i love the streetcar, most of the time, anyway.

10:56am Van in DC:

Gorgeous

10:58am Hugo:

Greetz from the Foreign Correspondents Club section of Give the Drummer Radio!

10:58am trish:

Streetcars are better than the bus fumes, even in those natural gas hybrids, any day.

10:59am glenn:

i remember when we had trolley buses. the driver had to get off every other block and reattach the wires.

10:59am Ike:

Glenn, I wish ours looked as good as yours. llibllib.tumblr.com...
I like riding them, but they're boring.

10:59am joe:

And with that last little bit my purse has to tap out. I wish I could just give more and more.

🥁

11:03am listener james from westwood:

oooooohh ... some plans afoot for brother nutt...? stream-related plans?

11:03am Uncle Michael:

When I was a kid in Chicago there were still a lot of electric trolly bus routes.

11:06am Elias:

How does one pledge part of their mouse pledge prize account to this show specifically?

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Elias, click on the white pledge box atop the page. Pledge whatever amount you want to add to your pledge account!

11:07am Elias:

Done! (in a moment)

11:08am XPat of Leche de Noche:

85% over all--looks a lot better than yesterday...or am I dumb?

11:10am Hugo:

Funk 'em juju is fine, but funk 'em dudu is even better!

11:10am glenn:

wow. that's 35% in one day, i think.

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

THANK YOU Elias. Done indeed!

11:10am Van in DC:

Decent movement XPat! 85%! It was 79% when we started GTDS.

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
Into WFMU's overall total today went JM in the AM's final day of its marathon. Usually a huge day.

11:12am holland oats:

what is this filth

11:12am Uncle Michael:

it's wonderful

11:12am XPat of Leche de Noche:

ah that explains it...

11:12am Amanda:

We are well over one million now.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Amanda!

🥁

11:13am Artie:

Cue Dr. Evil.

11:13am Uncle Michael:

Nice tie, Amanda.

11:13am XPat of Leche de Noche:

noice!

11:14am Elias:

Thank YOU Doug.

11:14am Van in DC:

Um. I'll be back in a bit. Lunch beckons suddenly.

11:14am Amanda:

You ain't so great Doug Schulkind, you sunuvabitch!

🥁

11:14am listener james from westwood:

amanda bears good news! as always.

11:15am still b/p:

I'm tellll-in' the new pope what you played.

11:15am Amanda:

We can do it!

11:16am glenn:

amanda also knows good bears. or something.

11:17am Amanda:

The knower of good bears?

11:18am Uncle Michael:

Tunas with great taste.

11:19am ndbob:

Heya Amanda!

11:20am XPat of Leche de Noche:

this is great..

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Thanka Amanda!

11:21am marcury:

Good day all, Time to make the doughnuts. Here's to Giving the Drummer and the streaming cohort A LOT!~

🥁

11:21am listener james from westwood:

my favorite jm in the am crossover moment: i used to work a job w/ pre-9am hours, so i'd listen to jm before the regular programming. during one pledge drive, some kind donor did a fund-matching thing on jm, so i pledged to double my money. the phone person, spotting my gentile name, said, "i have to ask you a question, but i don't want to offend you: are you jewish?" i laughed and told him i was a supporter of all of fmu. ecumenical, ya might say.

11:25am Amanda:

I have a friend who works as a driver in the afternoons -- the person who has the van in the mornings assumed for years that my friend was an orthodox Jew because of what he had the radio set to everytime the guy started the van. (Funnier if you know how Irish my friend is)

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Happy doughnuts to you, Marcury! I know they'll be delish.

11:30am Van in DC:

Probably better than my salad I'm about to inhale.

11:31am Elias:

Doug, did you do a show at WOBC in college? My brother and I did shows there when I was in high school.

11:31am Uncle Michael:

Careful not to get a radish lodged in your sinus.

11:33am Van in DC:

It'll be a jalepeno I'm sure

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

@Elias
YES! I was at WOBC from 1980-83. I was jazz director and then program director there.

11:44am trish:

Doug, this is your last marathon show, isn't it ?

A round of applause to the long-distance dj'ing dj.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Yup, Trish, it is. My last chance to do my part.

11:46am Uncle Michael:

Big thanks to the entire GTDR crew.

11:46am Uncle Michael:

I'm wanting to sing Oogum Boogum to this song.

11:47am Elias:

Doug, me and my other kid friends during those years would call the station and request "Light My Fire". If someone actually played it we would then call and get really indignant that they hadn't played the Jose Feliciano version (which we specifically had not mentioned). That never ceased to appeal to the twelve year old sense of humor. This was in between pea shooter wars at Mudd Library.

11:47am Van in DC:

heck yeas! * APPLAUSE * for GTDR !

11:49am Uncle Michael:

This is the track that floored me on the original Rangda show.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Elias, 12-yr-old humor is the best humor.

11:50am Uncle Michael:

Doug, just stay on till you reach the goal.

11:50am still b/p:

Like scotch.

🥁

11:55am bobdc:

(a.k.a. Bob in Charlottesville) just did mine...

11:56am Jeff Golick:

This shut-in has forgot his troubles! Over and over again. Thanks to Doug, Give the Drummer Radio, and the whole freakin' WFMU krew!

11:56am XPat of Leche de Noche:

WHAUW!!! WAITING FOR THE STREAKAH!!

11:58am XPat of Leche de Noche:

DC.

🥁

11:58am listener james from westwood:

many, many thanks for all that you and the gtdr crew do, doug. many, many thanks to the almighty pledgers, and to brian and the record labels for the lovely prizes.

12:00pm Uncle Michael:

Courtroom drawings of Bobby Seale bound to his chair are my earliest memory of local television news.

12:00pm ndbob:

excellent pledge show Doug!

12:00pm Carmichael:

Doug, hello and total thankage to you and the wacky morning Drummer crew.

12:01pm Van in DC:

Many thanks as always Doug!!

12:02pm Jeff Golick:

(NO thanks to the gumbo.)

🥁

12:04pm listener james from westwood:

if anyone gets the itch to pledge during the hoof & mouth, you should still be able to select a drummer stream show on the online pledge page, or ask the friendly phone person if you call the studio during the show to direct it to the stream.

12:04pm Van in DC:

Congratulations to the prize winners!

12:07pm Uncle Michael:

I hope that this is GTDR's biggest pledge year, regardless of the final tally.

12:07pm Doug Schulkind:

A really brilliant showing, dear friends and listeners. I couldn't be happier. My deepest thanks and appreciation for the support!

12:15pm Alex In Illinois:

I was here today too. Just listening and not commenting. So you can add me to the number of known listeners for today.

12:18pm Doug Schulkind:

Alex! I felt your aura. Glad you were along for the ride!

10:21pm Doug Werewolf:
