Listener comments!

🥁

8:34am listener james from westwood:

hey hey, doug and all!
looking forward to hearing dinner music for a pack of hungry jackhammers!

8:35am Doug Schulkind:

Hope you're wearing your cummerbund and spats, James!

🥁

8:43am duke:

Good morning. Who is on tenor jackhammer in that band?

8:44am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya duka, probably some dude who OD'd a few years later.

8:45am Michael:

Hi Doug and Hey James. And thanks for the Motherlode this morning! The Blax-splosion looks like fun.

8:46am Holly in NC:

Morning, Doug! Hope I can tune in later :-)

8:47am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings Michael! Happy Blaxsplosion Day!

Helllloooooo Holly!

8:49am Pre-op DJ:

G'morning folks.

8:50am Doug Schulkind:

Hey Pre-op DJ, make sure them doctors wash their freekin hands! Feel better soon, handsome.

8:51am Maggie B.:

Good morning Doug and fellow drummers!

8:52am Uncle Michael:

I'll sneak some Purel under my gown.

8:52am AndrewC.:

Morning all. Does the GTD Stream automatically start raising the mood in the run up to the show? Or maybe its just my mood automatically starts going up.

🥁

8:52am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug & associates.
He doesn't look like Woody Guthrie of Jackhammer Blues fame.

Pre-op DJ bend over and smile.

8:53am ausmanx:

evening all, from the antipodes. looks like some indiscipline among the jackhammers there; they're not even sitting up straight

8:54am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:54am hyde:

Everyone says I'm awfully pneumatic.

8:55am Doug Schulkind:

Oh Maggie dear! Glad you're here.

@Uncle Michael
That just sounds...wrong.

@AndrewC
It's all connected to your biorhythms. That implant in your back molar is working perfectly.

@Brian in UK
No, he is more like the Sonny Bono of Jackhammer Blues fame.

@ausmanx
I have at least one Aussie selection scheduled (pronounced SHED-yuled) for tonight's show.

Howdy ndbob and hyde!

8:58am The NSA:

Can we get a level?

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Testing (allah akhbar)... testing....

9:01am holland oats:

my dog is salivating, must be showtime!

🥁

9:01am listener james from westwood:

agreed on that blaxploitation find. it's open in a browser window for my post-work delectation.

9:02am Alex In Illinois:

Good morning! And good afternoon and evening to those in the yonder time zones

9:02am SeanG:

Hello all, sounding fine to these sleep-deprived ears

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

If you are not on the Drummer Some / Motherlode mailing list and didn't get a newsletter this morning, send an email request to drummer (at) wfmu {dot} org and I will put you on the list and send you a newsletter.

@SeanG
Gimme five minutes with your ears and they'll be completely zonked.

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

G-morning Alex!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Oh happy day, holland pavlov!

9:05am Matt from Springfield:

Caffeine-deprived ears over here, but will rectify that very soon!
Morning Doug and everyone! Wet 'n wild today over here!

🥁

9:06am listener james from westwood:

oats: 4 out of 5 dogs choose gtds over competing brands of audio fodder. (it turns out the 5th dog was a badger.)

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Hello to you, Matt from Springfield, and to all hating badgers everywhere.

9:09am Pavlov's God:

Wuuf Mo

9:09am Merv:

Mornin' all! Doug, with the Motherlode posts coming every two weeks, it's kind of fun to play the game of anticipating what songs/albums from the weekly radio show will turn up in the next week's motherlode. I got two out of five (kamal ahmed and clear light)!

9:10am merv:

Whoops, gotta remember to sign in so my icon shows up...

9:11am Matt from Springfield:

I wouldn't worry bout the badgers--they're just digging deeper..
I myself would like to hear the extra frequencies our doggie friends enjoy. That will be the next innovation in online streaming.

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

@merv
Try like I do, I just can't do the Motherlode weekly right now. The WFMU blog is soon to be relaunched. I will endeavor to get back to weekly then. Oh, and good morning!

9:13am ausmanx:

badger is my totem, which is a bit weird since we don't got em over here. but australian animals are all pretty awful, let's face it.

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

The latest Mining the Audio Motherlode is here: bitly.com/Motherlode208

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
I'd love to come for a visit. Just tell me Australia has no spiders or snakes and I'm SO there.

9:16am merv:

I like the bi-weekly; it encourages me to do more of my own digging...

9:17am AndrewC.:

Doug, sorry you want New Zealand.

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

@merv
That's something positive!

@AndrewC
Yeah, all the animals in NZ just want to have tea and speak in soft tones.

9:18am Uncle Michael:

I'm funkier than a blogdigger's ass.

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Didn't Nina Simone sing about you?

9:20am Uncle Michael:

Nah...she ain't got no ass.

9:21am still b/p:

The nuns told us that unbaptized infants that die go to Limbo. Put that in your censer and huff it.

9:22am ausmanx:

don't wish to discourage, but i'm in the middle of sydney and my garage door is surrounded by deadly spiders. you just get used to 'em. or cook 'em. NZ got better music too (and art, and politics...)

🥁

9:23am listener james from westwood:

the nun who taught my kindergarten told me if i didn't stop crying, my mother would never come pick me up. i wish i knew where she is buried.

9:23am Uncle Michael:

Please post you favorite spider recipes here.

9:23am trish:

And scorpions, too? (those land lubbing lobsters)

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for that image, still b/p.

@ausmanx
I am all too aware of your garage door and the like. My wife came back from Australia last December and taunted my fear of the eight-legged by giving me a key chain with one of those red-backed fuckers in lucite.

Just STOP it right there, trish.

🥁

9:26am listener james from westwood:

i accidentally brought a gecko back from naples, fl in my luggage. i don't even want to think of what would emerge after visiting the antipodes. spiders from australia, wetas from new zealand, and gods know what from tasmania.

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

Got 15 minutes? Let's discuss Listener James's gecko!

🥁

9:28am listener james from westwood:

fortunately thugs from allstate didn't show up and beat it into fruit leather. managed to lodge it w/ a friend of a friend who raises reptiles.

9:28am still b/p:

@LJFW -- Twisted Sister indeed. Sweet Jesus, the grim whack-a-doodle inclinations and short-circuits encountered in those ranks.

🥁

9:30am listener james from westwood:

lotta good nuns out there, incl. the nuns on the bus, but this sister wasn't one of them.

9:30am ndbob:

@James What did you name the gecko?

9:32am holland oats:

guys i knew in college had a pet bird they kept in a cage on their shelf, they named it SHELF LIFE

🥁

9:33am listener james from westwood:

i actually didn't. i'd only have named it if i'd have kept it. i figured i'd feel worse if it died before i could get it to a proper environment had i personalized it.

9:36am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
I hope they didn't have to rename it STILL LIFE.

🥁

9:37am listener james from westwood:

badump-tsss!

🥁

9:38am Brian in UK:

All the sisters of mercy they are not departed or gone.
Bet james wishes they were so.

9:39am ausmanx:

i look forward to hearing this on a future GTDS www.youtube.com...

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

If I click on that link, ausmanx, it'll get blasted all across the world. I can't handle that responsibility.

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

From Georges to George: Gorgeous.

🥁

9:44am listener james from westwood:

isn't one of the conet numbers signals based on this tune?

9:45am holland oats:

@drumma lol

🥁

9:45am listener james from westwood:

nah, brian, the ones who've done me & others no harm are fine where they stand. i'd gladly dynamite the gravestone of the one who did.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Jesus, LJFW, I have that Conet collection sitting right here. Are you watching me?!

🥁

9:47am listener james from westwood:

nsa, listen up: the lincolnshire poacher is coming for you! www.youtube.com...

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

This set is going to end up in a very different place. Just saying.

9:49am hyde:

jeez, i wander away for a few minutes and now i have to research the conet project and australian C & W s to catch up. Slow down, people!

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

As I always say, hyde, you snooze—you snooze.

9:50am trish:

How many variables? n !

9:50am Uncle Michael:

I will speculate that Conet-posession is higher among the FMU-affiliated than among the general population.

9:50am Rich in Washington:

@hyde: For some reason, all that made me think of Jon Rose and his Fences of Australia project.

9:51am Rich in Washington:

@Doug: this has ended up in a very different place, indeed. :)

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

@Rich in W
And its end has even't ended yet!

🥁

9:56am Brian in UK:

@ausmanx are you paying any mind to the TT races?

I prefer a lolly to a conet. Just saying.

9:57am ndbob:

good one here!

9:57am hyde:

@Rich. oh, great. now I have to research that!

9:58am El Thatchmo:

Shake That Chicken, Sri Schulkind!

10:00am Doug Schulkind:

Cousin Thatch!

🥁

10:01am Brian in UK:

George Kent sounds prime for a Premium sometime.

10:03am Uncle Michael:

some days I just listen to the whole twisted tales mess on shuffle

🥁

10:04am βrian:

Dour skies over the isthmus today. Good morning.

10:04am Rich in Washington:

Those Twisted Tales comps are amazing.

10:05am ausmanx:

ah Rich, Jon R is a very dear friend and he plays gigs at my house sometimes. the Fence Project is an astonishing thing, and much to be recommended (as is everything on his extraordinary website)... brian, i find the TT too depressing, the rate of fatal accidents is unforgiveable (as much as it's great to watch)

10:06am Jeff Golick:

What'd I miss?

10:07am thedunkel:

DRUMMER - that Gene Armstrong was some great shtuff!

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Hello βrian!

10:11am Uncle Michael:

This puts me in mind of my collection of blaxploitation radio ads. SO much Adolph Ceasar.

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@thedunkel
Glad you liked. Here is your Gene Armstrong: hillbilly-researcher.blogspot.com...

10:12am thedunkel:

Muchas Gracias for the link and the whips!

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
International reader of mystery

10:13am davex:

Good day, Doug and everyone!

10:14am still b/p:

@UM --You will give us a montage from that collection on your show sometime soon, yes? Please? Or have you already?

10:14am hyde:

@Doug love that hillbilly site. a real treasure trove.

10:15am Jeff Golick:

Is this Bruce Lee cut a cover?

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Aren't you all so glad you lived long enough to hear this one?!

Hi and welcome, davex!

🥁

10:16am Brian in UK:

@davex is the water receding in Leipzig?

10:16am ausmanx:

oh goodness, after midnight and i think i've finished with work and have to head home. thanks, doug!

10:16am AndrewC.:

This is a find, alright. Well done Bappi Lahiri & Annette.

10:17am Uncle Michael:

@still b/p: In the past I've played some of them...none on GTDR yet. I also have a pretty good collection of other grindhouse radio ads as well.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for staying up late, ausmanx! Stay away from your garage door.

10:17am Uncle Michael:

A montage could be fun to work on.

🥁

10:19am Brian in UK:

Doug, this is a great show selection as ever. Have to ask, are you getting enough sleep?

10:19am davex:

@Brian Thanks for asking! We got really lucky with the floods in Leipzig (with a bit of effort on our own part in reinforcing embankments). The region has been hit hard though - and it's nowhere near over.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Was I snoring on mic again?

10:20am still b/p:

@ UM - If you do it, give a little notice so's I/we can try to do some gesnatchen on the fly.

Tried to watch a clip that goes with " Let's Dance for..." but it won't play. Clenching my fists of fury.

10:23am Uncle Michael:

@still b/p: I'm going to do it. The wheels are turning. You will get a major shoutout for requesting it. It will be some time before the idea I have in mind is put together. Also...it's going to be the "b-side" to my now-teased, awesome 2014 DJ premium.

10:25am Doug Werewolf:

photonic yeah

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

Doug! Where you been wolfiing?!

10:26am Uncle Michael:

What is "gesnatchen?"

10:26am Jeff Golick:

Sorry, but going back to Conet. This pdf of the CD set booklet is going to be my bedtime reading for the foreseeable future: irdial.hyperreal.org...

10:27am KevinfromBayRidge:

Hello all Drummer-somes. Just popping in for a sec..Gotta give Scott a proper send-off!...But I'll be back(take that as a threat if wanna..I think it's a warning!)

10:27am Uncle Michael:

Ooooh! Thanks for the link to the pdf, Jeff.

10:27am Doug Werewolf:

same spot

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

@KevinfromBayRidge
You will always be welcome here.

10:29am Jeff Golick:

The whole Conet set is available for the free download here: irdial.hyperreal.org (nine lines up from the bottom).

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

If I prayed to God, I would pray that the whole Conet thing was actually a hoax. It would be SO much better if it was a hoax. Please? God? Are you listening? Or did the NSA steal all the headphones?

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Favorite line of the show so far:

"Ruby dust of your own snot"

10:30am Uncle Michael:

That's where I got it, Jeff. Somehow I missed the pdf.

10:31am Uncle Michael:

I'm passing by "The Coleman Hawkins House" on a regular basis.

10:32am Doug Werewolf:

the earth is moving all the time

10:33am still b/p:

For a moment I thought she said "Oprah stew."

@UM - nonsensical and unnecessary faux German conjugation of snatch.

10:38am Uncle Michael:

deeeeeeelia

10:39am Uncle Michael:

I miss having the stamina for psychedelics. I think I'd need a week off to rebound now.

10:40am Jeff Golick:

Speaking of hoaxes, I going to say that this fine thing is a hoax/put-on, but I'm not really sure: kosmischerlaufer.bandcamp.com... Still, some great krautrock music going on, even if a pastiche.

10:40am Uncle Michael:

I think I'll ask my anesthesiologist for ketamine.

10:41am Jeff Golick:

"For the first time since it was recorded in East Berlin over 30 years ago the music of Martin Zeichnete can finally be heard.
A disciple of the Kosmische Muzik of the likes of Kraftwerk, Can and Neu! that was drifting across the Wall from the West, Martin's idea of using the motorik, hypnotic beat of krautrock in the training of athletes was taken and exploited by the DDRs Olympic Committee."

10:42am Uncle Michael:

No mention of the women's weightlifting team?

🥁

10:43am βrian:

"Krautrock and Cabbage Rolls."

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
I heard Oprah stew, too.

10:44am Jeff Golick:

Don't be sour, βrian.

10:45am Uncle Michael:

mm mm gut!

🥁

10:45am βrian:

Just hungry, not sour.

10:46am davex:

@Jeff, a very brief Internet search shows that it is a matter of debate in Germany whether it is a hoax or not. www.kaputtmutterfischwerk.de... But the comment about the actual GDR Olympic Committee using it makes it seem like an absurd joke.

10:47am hyde:

@Jeff I'm not even sure if I'd rather that be a hoax or be real. That sort of makes it fantastic either way.

10:48am still b/p:

Oh, what the stream puts in our spoons -- Oprah stew and poodle soup.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

This sounds very Universal Congress Of-ish to me.

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
When it's raining cats and dogs, don't step in a poodle. (I couldn't resist.)

10:54am Jeff Golick:

@davex, @hyde: I agree that it almost doesn't matter. I did a very minor bit of internet sleuthing yesterday on it, but ultimately decided that the less I knew for sure, the better.

10:54am Carmichael:

Good morning Doug and others of your ilk.

10:54am holland oats:

anyone seeing milford graves in nyc next week? i m v tempted

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Rise and shine, Carmichael!

10:56am Carmichael:

Wakey wakey, eggs and bacey.

10:57am Jeff Golick:

@holland oats: I'm going to try hard to make out to Milford on Wed. Will miss opening part of the night, though.

10:58am Jeff Golick:

I thought this one sounded familiar. I think Jim Black is my current favorite drummer. Today.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

MILFord: Drummers I'd like to...

10:59am holland oats:

haha!!

11:03am ndbob:

ha Doug!

11:12am davex:

UM: Sorry to hear that - was looking forward to the show. Get well...

11:14am Jeff Golick:

@UM: get well soon! Psychedelics or no.

11:21am Uncle Michael:

Thanks guys. I'm ok...just have to have a little "procedure" done. Back next week...

🥁

11:21am Brian in UK:

Think this is the Eastern equivalent of Can I Get a Witness.

🥁

11:22am Brian in UK:

@UM Take the Temazepam if offered and watch those crazy creatures climb the walls.

11:23am ?:

any chance you can turn this up a little? volume is hardly registering....

11:25am northguineahills:

Thought I'd stop in and say hi, as I'm listening Scott's last show for a while.

11:25am Uncle Michael:

Will do, Brian.

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

Really truly, question mark? Anyone else having volume issues? Every discernible volume gauge here is registering plenty loud.

11:26am northguineahills:

I had what UM was referring to for my bday a few months back, and it was quite intense in a good way.

11:26am Uncle Michael:

Fine here.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

@NGH
Freeform means never having to say you're sorry.

🥁

11:26am βrian:

Loud and clear in Wisconsin.

11:26am hyde:

@northguineahills I for one am going to miss those long rallies
@doug volume seems fine to me, haven't noticed any issues today

11:26am Uncle Michael:

I hope I make the cut when Doug publishes the new schedule.

🥁

11:27am Brian in UK:

Doug, is Sir Victor from Ghana?

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

Nigeria

11:28am still b/p:

Volume fine. I've got it down at the standard lower-than-Jersey-studio-stream level that this stream always requires due to its louder push.

🥁

11:29am Brian in UK:

Good luck UM. No talk of cuts eh.

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

Here is a new one from The Ex...!

🥁

11:30am Brian in UK:

Volume good, pop-up seems louder than mp3. The stream is always higher in volume than the home channel.

🥁

11:30am listener james from westwood:

sounds clear on this side. keeping me sane amid baffling replies to author queries.

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Maybe our friend ? just wanted it louder, Louder, LOUDER! (Can you fault her/him?)

11:32am Doug Werewolf:

Loud and clear - Belgium out.

11:33am Jeff Golick:

Oh man the Ex always bring it. GREAT live band.

11:33am Jeff Golick:

I'll be needing this one....

11:34am Uncle Michael:

I love Belgium.

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Where is Getatchew Mekurya when you need him?!

11:34am Jeff Golick:

Brass Unbound includes Vandermark...?

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Good question, Jeff G. Don't know. Read this and tell me:

Formed in Amsterdam in 1979 when four friends were inspired by the burgeoning punk movement to draw lots determining which instrument they would each learn to play, The Ex have become one of the most intriguing and consistently thrilling bands in living memory. From early beginnings playing scrappy three chord punk rock in anarchist squats around the Netherlands to becoming bona fide alternative icons in Ethiopia and critical darlings on the indie festival circuit in the UK, the group have evolved and adapted like no other band. By seizing opportunities to tour off the beaten track and pursuing a dizzying array of collaborations, The Ex continues to thrive where so many of their peers have long since thrown in the towel. Even the mighty Fugazi, with whom the band played innumerable shows, eventually found themselves painted into a corner by an understandable reluctance to change personnel. Characteristically, when founding vocalist/lyricist Jos Kley announced his retirement in 2009 after nineteen years of service, the remaining trio of guitarists Terrie Hessels and Andy Moor and drummer Katherina Bornefeld saw it as an opportunity rather than an obstacle – immediately recruiting Arnold de Boer from regular support act Zea. “Change your interior, reset your furniture,” advised de Boer on one of the first songs he wrote with the band. This ability to adjust to changes and absorb outside influences is a key factor in what makes The Ex such a unique and compelling band and also what makes their first studio album with horn quartet Brass Unbound so exhilarating.
In truth Enormous Door has been years in the making, with many songs existing in one form or another since The Ex first toured with Brass Unbound. Similarly to their inspirational records and tours with the late jazz cellist Tom Cora in the early nineties, it’s clear that The Ex have found a musical kinship with Swedish baritone saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, Chicagoan tenor saxophonist Ken Vandermark , Italian trumpeter Roy Paci and Dutch trombonist Wolter Wierbos. Although in theory punk and jazz are diametrically opposed musical styles, in practice both are born of a disregard for convention and a fundamental desire to be free of restriction and limitation. Whilst Brass Unbound are certainly musical virtuosos, like The Ex they are also mavericks who play with a distinctly physical intensity, throwing themselves headlong into every performance. Both quartets have a propensity for radical improvisation and it’s apparent that the songs which make up Enormous Door were worked up through hours of onstage exploration. However, it’s also clear that during the course of recording at Paci’s Posada Negro Studio in Lecce, Italy the eight musicians coalesced to capture and distil the essence of their visceral and frenetic live performances. The compositions are watertight but still suggest infinite realms of possibility, from the open chords favoured by Hessels and Moor to the unique spectacle of four soloists weaving in and out of each song, alternately merging to form a powerful horn section or darting away on their own individual flights of fancy. The sound is unmistakably that of The Ex but supercharged by the potency of such a riveting musical alliance.
As noted food blogger and occasional Ex recordist Steve Albini once remarked, “nothing lasts forever except The Ex”. Even with the considerable boost of Brass Unbound, The Ex retain all of the traits that make them such an exciting and singular prospect. Hessel’s battered five string guitar meshes with Moor’s baritone fuzz, creating an irresistible fusillade of choppy open chord clamour. The incomparable Bornefeld is a one woman marching band, summoning the intricate polyrhythms around which most Ex songs are formed. Without dismissing the remarkable contribution of the departed Kley, de Boer has helped to modernise The Ex somewhat by introducing odd little electronic interludes and playful guitar arpeggios. Whilst the singer/guitarist participated in the recording of 2010’s excellent Catch My Shoe, the bulk of the songs had already been written when he replaced Kley. However, the Zea-like opening riff of ‘Last Famous Word’ suggests de Boer is now more integrated into the writing process and the band is better for it. Although the singer’s lyrics and delivery lacks the caustic bite of Kley, his plainspoken voice and comparatively restrained approach works well in the context of the current line-up. The combination of a retooled Ex with Brass Unbound in tow grants the album a newfound sense of levity, even if the lyrical themes are as serious as ever. The music is still a touch abrasive at times but Enormous Door might also prove to be the most danceable album of their considerable discography.
The band’s continuing fascination with the music of Ethiopia is an obvious influence on several of the songs, in particular their cover of the Addis Ababan songwriter Mahmoud Ahmed staple ‘Belomi Benna’, with Bornefeld contributing another strong vocal performance. It’s simultaneously the closest The Ex have ever come to recording out and out pop music and the song which most benefits from the presence of Brass Unbound’s blaring horns. The bizarro jazz odyssey ‘Red Cow’ is perhaps more familiar territory to long-time fans in the sense that it’s a bubbling mess, though the angular post-punk of the global warming fixated ‘Our Leaky Homes’ could easily be a hit in a fairer world. Elsewhere we see a return of the long form songs which largely characterised Catch My Shoe. Perhaps the finest is the organised chaos of the appropriately named ‘Bicycle Illusion’, which sees the octet racing one another to the finish line before collapsing in a fit of exhaustion and laughter. The oddball social media diatribe ‘We Are Made of Places’ is the most deconstructed number, giving each member of Brass Unbound a chance to gleefully deviate from the programme and flex their improvisational muscles. The decision to revisit Turn centrepiece ‘Theme From Konono’ with blistering horns pays dividends and closes out the album in an appropriately boisterous manner. It certainly seemed as though the band’s tours with Brass Unbound were their most fruitful to date and with Enormous Door The Ex have managed to isolate and harness the peculiar energy generated by this particularly harmonious union. Long may it continue.

Feel better UM!

11:39am Rich in Washington:

back, after a much longer commute than anticipated.

11:39am Alex In Illinois:
