🥁

8:32am Brian in UK:

Dolly playing Glastonbury.
Oh where are my manners. Good day good sirs.

8:34am Doug Schulkind:

Give my love to Dolly, Brain in UK!

🥁

8:35am Brian in UK:

Got the rotavator out Doug. You can turn unearth some money now.

8:37am Doug Schulkind:

I would, Brian, but I couldn't wake up the mule.

🥁

8:39am Brian in UK:

You will not find me within a wellingtons throw of that festival.

8:40am Doug Schulkind:

Sure, but your wellington hurling ain't wait it used to be.

8:45am glenn:

wellington hurling shall open for purling hiss.

8:47am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

Guten Morgen. My plans were to tag-team Drummer Some and Keili as usual...but...I have a house full of sick humans and probably won't have the energy today

8:47am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
Didn't Canadia win a double Gold in hurling this year? (In the bathrooms, after the Olympic competition, I mean.)

8:48am Doug Schulkind:

@ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ
Here, snort some Purell. Get well soon, ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ family!

8:49am glenn:

i'm sure they probably won a few extra curricular medals.

🥁

8:53am duke:

Good morning Drummers

8:53am Gary:

Commutin

🥁

8:55am listener james from westwood:

good friday, all! health to the ill, safety to the commuting, and good fortune to those getting in the running for those incredible prizes!

8:55am glenn:

is that the charles bradley album with changes on it?

8:56am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

we're kind of doing the opposite of snorting around here...

8:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Sure hope the judge is commutin your sentence!

Good morning good brother James from Westwood!

8:57am Doug Schulkind:

Hiya duke!

🥁

8:58am duke:

Great documentary about Charles Bradley - Soul of America,

8:59am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
I've only seen the trailer. Made me cry. I'll be giving away Bradley's 2013 record later in the show!

Howdy ndbob!

9:00am Uncle Michael:

I'm chasing ducks!

9:01am Webhamster Henry:

Hi Doug!
I hope you listeners who appreciate Doug's amazing musical passion and generosity will pledge to the station today -- it is payday for a lot of you after all!

🥁

9:01am Brian in UK:

Anyone seen this half hour film abour the elusive William Onyearbor?
www.youtube.com...

🥁

9:01am duke:

@UM you have to worry when the ducks chase you

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

As long as you're not chasing duke!

What Webhamster Henry said...

🥁

9:03am duke:

@Brian thanks for that link. I'll definitely be checking that one out later.

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

APOLOGIES TO ANY COMMENTERS I FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE. Things get kinda crazy and I miss some.

9:05am van:

Oh. Hi.

DOUG!

I have come to Give the Drummer Some.

9:05am Uncle Michael:

On behalf of Doug, I'd also like to apologize to any commenters he's failed to acknowledge.

9:05am Doug Schulkind:

Van! Van! Van! So happy to see you!

9:11am Uncle Michael:

Is Dubya still the Desidero?

9:14am van:

Mucho work for me...I'll be on and off, in and out...

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

We'll keep the coffee on for you, Van!

9:19am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

ah, Squirrel Hill. Drove through it over Xmas. Did you hit the Carnegie International Doug?

🥁

9:26am Brian in UK:

Comb & Razor is in the William Onyearbor film linked at 09:01.

9:29am Konin:

Price, Merle, price...

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

YES, that's him, Brian. Uchenna Ikonne played a key role in finding William Onyeabor and convincing him to allow his music to be officially reissued.

@ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ
Nope, missed it. I don't get out much. I've got too much music downloading to do.

9:30am Uncle Michael:

Let's get those pledges in early and get on the prize drawings. I'm drooling and jealous... I want these but can't have 'em!

9:30am KevinfromBayRidge:

Morning FMU-GTDS World! Two Gold medals in this time slot. Gotta pull out the double barrel pledge gun to git the Beasties und der Drummers-Somers.

9:30am Holly in NC:

Hi Doug and friends! xo

Off to help a VERY particular Jewish grandfamily unpack a lifetime's worth of tchotchkes (and their entire house, including a vast hardcover library), because I a) babysit/adore their grandkids and am b) nice c)broke d)broke.

Oy vey!

So pledges later, Doug AND UM :-) xo

9:31am Uncle Michael:

Hey hey, Kevin.

9:31am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

Yes, you must stick to the downloading. It was good--all over the map as usual. Some really amazing, some eh. My favorite artists were old dead guys unfortunately, although I liked the Playground Project.

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Hi KevinfromBayRidge! Howdy Holly in NC!

9:32am Uncle Michael:

Hi Holly and thanks!

Hope there's not too much tsuris in with the tchotchkes.

9:32am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! pledgers!

🥁

9:32am Brian in UK:

Doug who plays guitar on that first Merle song. Sounds so similar to a John Stewart toon on California Bloodlines. Is it Fred Carter?

9:33am Uncle Michael:

Red Voelkert, maybe?

9:36am Uncle Michael:

I think you might be right, Brian.

🥁

9:36am Brian in UK:

Sorry to keep dropping links but this is a lovely setting for Bill Callahan. Great album, never off the player.
www.youtube.com...

9:36am Webhamster Henry:

I used to hand format about 20 playlists every week!

9:37am glenn:

no. that's james burton.

9:38am Gary:

Ooooh, nice flash album cover thing you got goin on

9:38am Holly in NC:

I am out the door but people, y'all should pledge at least a mouse for that Merle, because imho it's at least as as important as Hank W's 40. Love Merle, that cantankerous coot.

9:38am Uncle Michael:

Can always count on you, glenn!

9:38am KevinfromBayRidge:

Hey Unc M. only tsuris today is if we don't make the goal!
Doug, we're all cohosting, in spirit, with you in Studio P.

🥁

9:38am Artie:

But a single thin coin was placed on the stack by each of the humble Drummerfolk, and yet by the time the sun was high in the sky a sharp shadow was cast across the face of giants.

9:39am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

ooooo, hats off WH Henry--I use to do that kind of HTML work. Not fun after about 10 minutes.

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Heyo, G A R Y!

9:41am glenn:

a friend of mine had the pleasure of playing with james at last year's sleepwalk guitar festival. a class act all the way.

9:42am Andrew Waterloo:

good morning

🥁

9:42am Brian in UK:

The only things I said today were "Beer" and "Thank you".

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

@ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ
That HTML work (or some hack self-taught version of it) it all I've ever known.

But...if you go back and look at the visual history of WFMU's online playlists, you'll see that mine were the first to look all purdy, with links and images and stuff. Now, they're just middle of the pack.

Greetings Andrew in Waterloo! Thanks for all your helpings out this marathon!

9:43am glenn:

there's a country song, brian. the only words i said today.

🥁

9:43am duke:

This is a beautiful song

9:44am van:

Loving this

9:45am Andrew Waterloo:

YW welcome Doug, it's been a lot of fun.

9:45am kimgland:

damn beautiful

🥁

9:46am Brian in UK:

This is it glenn

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

Things I can't do, but wanna...

1) Draw
2) Sing like Bill Callahan

9:46am glenn:

apparently keilli's offering a waxing premium. how are you gonna beat that?

9:46am Doug Schulkind:

To all who have pledged, I say BEER and THANK YOU.

9:47am Stanley:

Draw cowboy!

9:47am Gary:

I think if you drink enough beer, you'll find that drawing is rather easy

9:48am Jeff Golick:

Doug: Hi! You'll teach willing students how to make such purty gifs? I can pay in mp3s...

Oh, also: MARATHON!

9:48am Uncle Michael:

I'd like to hear a vocal harmony trio made up of Bill Callahan, John Doe and Leo Kottke.

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
I'm waxing poetic? Maybe? Nope, I can't beat that.

🥁

9:49am Brian in UK:

Wish I could sing like Marvyn Gaye.

9:49am Alex In Illinois:

Right now I am wearing 2 headsets. One is for the meeting that I am attending, and the other is for Give The Drummer Some. Once the meating is over and I have heated my oatmeal in the science oven, I will do some pledging.

9:50am Andrew Waterloo:

@Jeff Animated Gifs are very easy. I started making my own after reading a short Gimp tutorial.

9:51am glenn:

leo kottke 's self appraisal of vocal abilities - "i sound like geese farts on a muggy day"

🥁

9:52am Artie:

This is a Marathon, not a Blintz.

9:53am Uncle Michael:

It's a pledge Blintzkreig.

9:54am Gary:

We all like your person, Doug

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Happy oatmeal, Alex in Illinois! (Just keep it away from the headphones.)

🥁

9:58am Brian in UK:

How did they get hold of a pedal steel?
How did W O get hold of a Moog?

9:59am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

by the way, wish I could sing like the Wolf.

10:00am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

love the black lodge singers.

10:01am Stanley:

I keep some money in an old wall down at the river.
I'll be back soon.

10:02am Jeff Golick:

@Andrew Waterloo: thanks!

10:03am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

I can swing a pretty decent Tom Waits imitation but Howlin Wolf kills my throat.

🥁

10:03am Brian in UK:

Hey Stanley. Swans are touring over here end of May/early June.

10:04am Texaslpguy:

You are extraordinary....thanks for Bill Callahan & Haggard.....Finally gave up and PLEDGED....

10:05am Stanley:

Brian - you know everything. Are they coming north of the border?

10:07am Stanley:

I've got a scratchy old vest on.

10:09am Webhamster Henry:

The first show netcast by WFMU was MAC's Antique Phonograph Music Program - to make sure there was an established scratchiness aesthetic from the very start.

10:10am Uncle Michael:

'97, Henry?

🥁

10:11am Brian in UK:

Stanley, this just came out today.
www.wegottickets.com...

10:14am Stanley:

Thanks Brian. Nae Scottish dates, tho.

🥁

10:14am Brian in UK:

Stanley am I good to you.
www.songkick.com...

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Texaslpguy! Looks like you're a wiener!

10:15am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

LONNIE!!

10:16am Gary:

This guy is so awesome it hurts

🥁

10:17am Brian in UK:

You all must see Lonnie if you get a chance.
Thumbs up for Mother Earth.
Apologies, Doug.
Osteopath calling. Byeeee.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Hurts so good.

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

Better osteo than psycho, Brian in UK.

10:18am Uncle Michael:

I'd like to mention that Doug is going to me my mime-MC today...so if you want prizes between noon and three...be nice to *him*...he's pulling the names out of the virtual hat for all six hours today.

10:18am Texaslpguy:

Thank you for the Callahan! He lives is Austin but I have not seen him. Thank YOU.

🥁

10:18am listener james from westwood:

trouble's lonnie holley month and doug's yusef lateef month are twin totems in fmu's history.

10:19am Stanley:

Brian - you're are indeed very kind.
Glasgae - I knew it. I will check the diary when I get home.
I know I'm going to see Neutral Milk Hotel around then

10:19am ndbob:

this is great

10:19am Stanley:

Catch ya later Brian.

10:21am Webhamster Henry:

@Michael - it was about then I guess.

10:21am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

"outsider art" totally agree, BS term as far as I can see.

10:22am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

art establishment's attempt to distance itself from "untrained" artists.

10:23am Wally Tax:

i find it quite appropriate

10:24am Webhamster Henry:

When WFMU bought its license and moved to Jersey City, I was really excited at the prospect for several audio streams to be running. There weren't enough hours in the week to transmit all the WFMU goodness! And it's worked out very well with the GTDS Stream, and there's room fro growth! The new performance space is another expansion that will be very exciting this year!

10:25am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

how? is folk music outside art?

10:25am van:

Oh, you're sinful. DEFINITELY sinful.

;)

🥁

10:27am Artie:

If commercial radio is insider art, I'd just as soon hang out here in the yard.

🥁

10:28am duke:

In terms of music, I agree with Duke Ellington: There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind. I think that goes with all art. Outsider art is often good art made by someone not in the right club.

10:30am holland oats:

ok so my wally tax joke was a bit obtuse - as a frequent commenter i'd like to apologize for never making any damn sense

10:30am Uncle Michael:

If someone tells me they're presenting outsider art, it doesn't offend me. It tells me that they're sharing something with me that I won't find coming from the either the pop-culture or academic factories. It's clumsy shorthand but it can be useful clumsy shorthand.

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

Well said, duke. WFMU's genre-oblierating approach makes it hard for those "clubs" to be considered with any validity (or a straight face).

10:31am Uncle Michael:

We're used to it, holland!

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
Just as long as Alex in Illinois is not devouring you at his meeting. (See, I can get obtuse, too.)

10:31am van:

Me kinda likes this

10:31am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

@duke: nailed it. sorry holland...

10:32am Alex In Illinois:

Oh oh oh oh (drooling Homer Simpson) percusssion and fun in stereo, oh yeah! (Now back to that pledge page).

10:33am Uncle Michael:

Whoever did the Futurama theme likes this.

10:33am Gary:

Jesus God this is awesome

10:33am Andrew Waterloo:

This is a good brand of crazy.

10:38am van:

I'm so glad, Doug, that you didn't lose your show. How different so many lives would be today if you had (and for the worse).

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

I would be a miserable bum, that's for sure, Van.

🥁

10:43am duke:

The beat to this Lonnie Holley cut goes perfectly with the Emil Richards you just played

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

There are no coincidences, duke, but there are happy accidents. Blessedly.

10:47am Uncle Michael:

Sometimes the pattern is more obvious.

10:48am earrie:

This show is a Friday joy. A joy that only extended/expanded through the GTDstream.

10:49am Uncle Michael:

I can't berate you fine folks in the comments...you're all sporting hearts.

10:51am Gary:

I was just talking with someone last night about Owl!

10:51am Uncle Michael:

Come on in and visit, sans hearts. We know you'll pledge as soon as you can. Don't lay low.

10:51am holland oats:

holy warbles - golden age of music blogs - arrrgghh

10:53am glenn:

i have no heart.

10:54am Uncle Michael:

you got a lotta heart, glenn

10:56am ndbob:

I miss Holy Warbles - I remember Owl posting something for me that I had mentioned in chat

10:59am Jesse K:

I assume you mean bank account, right?

10:59am pacific standard simon:

mustn't... sleep... through... marathon...

🥁

11:00am listener james from westwood:

ndbob, agreed; i felt a real pang when doug mentioned it.
worth noting: for a pledge show, doug's playing a goodly chunk of music. at public radio stations, all you get is clumsy banter. fmu asks, but it keeps on playing the sweet tunes.

11:03am earrie:

Picking up on the categories-talk in this growing age of big databases. Categories don't scale well at all. Talking math, here . Category counts, amounts, and their definitions- they all change with scale. And yet db-jerks calculate, extrapolate and interpolate and arrive at false conclusions. 'All blanks blank.'

🥁

11:06am duke:

I hate public radio fund drives. They seem to run all year. I enjoy the FMU marathons. There's really no comparison to the kind of thing public radio or TV does.

11:09am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

NPR=National Refuge of Preciousness.

🥁

11:09am duke:

I stopped contributing to out local NPR station years ago when my son was young. He would come home from kindergarten and listened to a kids show they had. I used to record it for him. During a fund drive, they said "If we don't get x dollars in the next half hour, we won't be able to have the show." My son started crying. I thought "screw this."

11:10am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

...and the other public radio station in dc is "classical" which I'm fine with but they play the same 15 pieces of music overandoverandoverandover. I've never given them a dime cuz they infuriate me.

11:10am Uncle Michael:

I hope you told them how fucked up threatening children was.

11:11am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

holy crap got the letters backwards--I'm sleep deprived.

National Preciousness Refuge..

11:12am Alex In Illinois:

What Doug said explains why I have never seen this type of interactive playlist on any other on line radio station.

🥁

11:12am bobdc:

Totally thrilled! I was hoping to win the Dust to Digital one. I bought "Goodbye Babylon" when it was their only product, and I especially love "How Low Can You Go."

11:13am ndbob:

Same here Bob

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

It is a treasure, bobdc! Thank you so much.

11:13am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

every stupid show they have is just a bunch of dorks giggling at each other. ACH! Bad vibes man, bad vibes...

11:13am Alex In Illinois:

I stopped supporting my local NPR station when the got rid of Afropop Worldwide and Thistle and Shamrock, as well as a some of the locally done music shows.

11:15am glenn:

maybe it's a canadian thing. i kinda like n.p.r.. i'll listen to it on road trips, as long as i'm within 20 miles of the border.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

NPR is slowly jettisoning most music program and replacing it with... talk.

11:16am Uncle Michael:

NPR should have a show as good as "As It Happens."

11:17am Alex In Illinois:

When my Local NPR station got rid of a show called "Mambo Express", I looked up the DJ in the Chicago phone book, called him and asked what happened to his show. He was glad to hear that peopl were missing his show. I think his show is now on a suburban college station.

11:18am pacific standard simon:

Finally awake (3 hours before you, so don't judge).

11:18am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

I don't mind some of the news reporting (although the "and now for another view of Hitler" thing drives me nuts) and some of the science shows but all the rest is crap.

11:18am glenn:

as it happens is easily the best thing on radio (other than wfmu / gtds) in the world.

11:20am glenn:

i can tell y'all right now that every media outlet in canada is on high alert, waiting for the inevitable arrest of rob ford.

11:20am pacific standard simon:

Pacifica went through a programming meltdown in '90s, with staff strikes and legal wrangles. They used to be great.

11:20am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

I get tired of the preaching to the choir bent of As It Happens too. That's why I don't watch Rachel Madow--I agree with her but don't need to watch a bunch of people nodding there heads and enthusiastically agreeing with each other.

11:21am earrie:

Lots of good science programming on cbc.ca/quirks.

11:21am Alex In Illinois:

I like "This American Life" with Ira Glass, and that their news occasionally does things like exposing David Barton's latest book as full of fallacies, but there is not much more NPR for me. I wish there were another station to get all of the music shows that NPR keeps getting rid of.

11:22am Carmichael:

Good morning Doug and devotees. Glenn, if Ford gets arrested, who will consume all the chicke wings and crack in Toronto?

11:22am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

too many bad vibes. I love clay pigeon..

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

Oh hey earrie!

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

And good morning, Carm!

🥁

11:25am duke:

@ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ I agree about the preaching to the choir. I have been trying to read/listen to the other side more - WSJ etc. However, Fox(Faux) News pushes me over the edge.

11:26am earrie:

Hi Doug

11:26am Stanley:

Is this Johnny Dowd up for grabs?

11:27am Uncle Michael:

Cyrus!

11:27am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

I have friends that swear by Pacifica and I'm as lefty as they come but I get the willies when I listen to it. It's like tuning in just cuz you know they'll tell you what you want to hear.

@duke: I loath WSJ and am convinced that nobody really reads it, they just like to display it on their front porch

🥁

11:28am listener james from westwood:

w00t! thanks, jonathan, and all pledgers! (and RIP cyrus from "the warriors")

🥁

11:30am listener james from westwood:

the WSJ had some good writers before murdoch took it over. now many of them are with bloomberg news or the NYT, and factual stories carry a greater slant. and the editorial page, already thuggish, has become as trollish as the rest of the news corp empire.

11:31am pacific standard simon:

@ ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ - Yeah, that's the kind of stuff they got more into. They were always that way, but they had some kind of cleansing of more diverse elements.

11:32am Doug Schulkind:

THANK YOU Jonathon for your Mouse of Today pledge!!!!

11:34am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

Everyone who subscribes to WSJ in my neighborhood leaves them sitting on the porch, sidewalk until they start to rot in the plastic. Which is pretty much where it belongs. Why would you trust a bunch of pro-business yahoos to tell you what's going on in the world? Hoooo boy, I need some more coffee...with whiskey in it...screw the coffee..

11:36am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

man I wanted to spread my pledges out over 2 weeks but I fear I'm already running out of dough...

11:36am Alex In Illinois:

When Pacifica first appeared on the scene, it was refreshing to have something that was the polar opposite of all of the right wing junk, and not afraid to air what NPR was too afraid to air. I am not sure how reliable my memory is, but I thought I heard an interview on Pacifica a few weeks BEFORE 9/11/2001 about an attack by al Queda likely to occur and how President Bush should be preparing for such a possibility

11:36am ndbob:

The WSJ is a great paper in a lot of ways - just ignore the editorial page

11:36am Stanley:

I just got back from the river 'bank' with some cash.
I think I know where there might be some more.

11:37am pacific standard simon:

People used to say that The Christian Science Monitor was a great newspaper (never mind the religion), but all I could think was, "But they're Christian Scientists!"

11:38am van:

Love to see the Cow mooing!

11:38am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

to me the editorial page defines the paper. but I'm being way too negative and absolutist...

11:38am ndbob:

though as James says, it's gone downhill overall

11:39am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

I was up all night with sick mrs. ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ and ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ jr. so the filter is gone.

11:40am Carmichael:

Doug, I chose the African Twang as one of my premiums. Can't wait to spin it.

🥁

11:41am Brian in UK:

The Funkees sounds familiar from another premium.
Wow, 19% to go.

11:41am ndbob:

@Alex I like the NPR hourly news, but a lot of NPR coverage is repetitive and bland - and I'm still annoyed that the took of "Talk of the Nation" leading to the demise of "The Political Junkie"

🥁

11:41am listener james from westwood:

we got a moving cow!!

11:41am van:

Dancing cow

🥁

11:42am Brian in UK:

Ofege was my first win. You always remember the first time.

11:43am Uncle Michael:

I've been photographed eating herring in Maastricht.

11:43am Carmichael:

@bob, me too. I really don't like most of the new shows they recently started, and I miss the old ones like Talk of the Nation. And no more Terry Gross! Ted Talks sucks, and really, a show about cooking?!?

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

The DOG wants to dance with the cow! We're only about $600 away!

11:44am northguineahills:

Gee, when I tuned it was 20%, I read for a few minutes, and it's at 82% awesome!

11:44am Dean:

The reputation of the CSM is indeed one of the paradoxes of modern media. For all of Mary Baker Eddy's weirdness, though, you gotta hand it to a church (organization, whatever) that runs storefront reading rooms.

11:45am Stanley:

King Sunny Ade was my first African action, long before I went walkabout

11:45am ndbob:

@Carmichael I listen to a number of the Slate podcasts, and to several science ones

11:45am Alex In Illinois:

@ndbob:
Yes, the repetitive and bland part has me checking the NPR news usually only once a day or every other day.

11:46am Carmichael:

I'm a devotee of Science Friday, IndyBob.

11:47am Carmichael:

2 mouse pledges is all it will take, folks.

11:48am ᏧᏣ ᎮᎯᎱ:

I'm really at a loss for a default news source these days. Normally it's WashPost but...I guess Daily Show but I rarely get to watch it. thumbs up for Science Friday too.

i like a number of the npr podcasts, such as sci fri, the moth, radiolab, and planet money. the latter was a great aid during the financial crisis a few years back. car talk turns everything i see red red red with blood.

@Dean - I know! Our main street has one of those reading rooms and, like all CS reading rooms, it looks like the coolest old school relaxing place to read a book ever. If I had a million bucks, I'd give half of it to FMU, then hire whoever designs CS reading rooms to design a new den for me.

Unrelated to African twang, country songbooks were apparently popular in today's Zimbabwe & Zambia in the 30s-40s for some reason.
