WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 08/01/14

Listener comments!

8:51am bobdc:

Judging by the music that's on right now, your Superfly animated GIF is going to take on a whole new meaning with every song you play.

8:51am Gary:

He's never going to get there, is he.

🥁

8:52am listener james from westwood:

"Never cross 110th Street..."

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

Just keep zipping and unzipping your super fly, bobdc!

Gary, I thought you would like this scene from "Strutting for Godot."

8:53am Doug Schulkind:

R.I.P. Bobby Womack, Listener James FW!

🥁

8:57am duke:

He should moon walk back across the street

8:58am Parq:

Just can't seem to make up his mind. I have days like that.

8:58am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:59am Gary:

A city street. A lamp post.

Evening.

9:02am Uncle Michael:

Good morning!

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning Parq! Hello ndbob! Howdy Duke! Is that a haiku, Gary?!

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome back, Uncle Michael!

9:03am Gary:

It's the opening of Strutting for Godot!

9:03am Gary:

samuel-beckett.net...

9:03am Uncle Michael:

Thanks, Doug.

9:04am Parq:

Okay, over to the news now. What fresh hell is this?

9:05am Uncle Michael:

I'm enjoying a ham, cheese and roasted cherry tomato omelet and a half bagel...a Zabar's

9:06am ndbob:

just had a cheese omlet myslef

9:06am Gary:

I'm guessing he wasn't born yesterday, then

9:06am Uncle Michael:

semi-sub-terranean...it's a walk-out basement

9:07am Holly in NC:

Rabbit rabbit rabbit ! Happy August!
Good morning Doug & all friends (e.g., everyone ;-))!
Only have 20 minutes to listen before must leave for the day.... will heartily be enjoying 20 minutes!

9:07am Doug Schulkind:

Mmmm, cheese.

Oh Happy Holly Day!

9:08am Holly in NC:

Also, today's gif +100000000000000

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

Didn't the Gentry brothers just sing, "Brigham Young and limburger cheese" ???!!!

9:09am Uncle Michael:

Freddy's undead.

9:10am davex:

Good morning Doug, good day all...

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Leiping lizards, it's davex!

9:15am davex:

I Leikzit!

9:16am Gary:

Holly, I just said "rabbit, rabbit" to my GF, who just woke up and walked out of the bedroom, and she looked at me and said: "Why rabbits?"

9:16am Holly in NC:

@Gary -Your Beckett reference left the field wide open for me to share my current favorite single topic tumblr, which is truly GREAT - Beckett & cats, oh yes:

beckittns.tumblr.com

9:17am Parq:

Among the less heartbreaking headlines this morning: "Piercings Are Back". Like a recent headline crowing "Sexy Is Back", it prompts my question, "Where had they gone?"

9:19am Jeff Golick:

WALK // DON'T WALK

9:20am Holly in NC:

@Gary - Tell your gf good question! Who knows? My parents told me to do so xx years ago, and one of the few things I never questioned. God? Nope. Making the bed? nope. Santa, sadly, nope. "homosexuals", nope.

Rabbit rabbit rabbit , sure yea, why not?

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for that piercing glimpse, Parq.

PIMP // DON'T PIMP, Jeff Golick.

9:21am ausmanx:

late to the campfire today, sorry for my tardiness. and welcomed by what sounds like someone playing spoons. wonderful!

9:22am Gary:

LOL. I like this cat version of Happy Days (tho I'm not sure if the text is from Happy Days or not): 31.media.tumblr.com...

🥁

9:22am listener james from westwood:

Not pimpin' ain't not easy. Wait, that's not right ... hang on ...

9:22am Doug Schulkind:

Spoons indeed, ausmanx! Your timing is, if not impeccable, peccable!

9:22am Uncle Michael:

"Hey, look...a fashion trend that even this aging editor can recognize as sexy."

🥁

9:22am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug & literati.
Our beagle is working his way through Waiting for Doggo. This will be repeated same time tomorrow.

🥁

9:23am Brian in UK:

Hey ausmanx we won a Test Match!!

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James from Westwood
That should be "Pimping isn't not easy" And you, a copyeditor!!

Hallo, Brian in UK!

9:23am ndbob:

nice set here Doug - always a good way to start off a show

🥁

9:24am Brian in UK:

@davex Laughing & lallygagging in Leipzig.
Long time no 'see'.

9:25am davex:

Hey Brian! I was just about type the same (your second line, anyway)! How's Watford?

9:27am Webhamster Henry:

My sister went to Farm & Wilderness, probably didn't see you though.

🥁

9:27am listener james from westwood:

This copy editor could use a break! Maine is sounding nice, 10,000-strong crowd optional.

9:28am Uncle Michael:

Is it the Ashes again?

🥁

9:28am Brian in UK:

Very hot recently with almost Mediterranean style lightening & thunder storms.
Did the Istanbul trip pass off OK?

🥁

9:29am Brian in UK:

No Uncle, India this year. Ashes next year. Going to Manchester next Saturday to watch the third day of the Fourth Test.

9:29am ausmanx:

i saw that, Brian. and India aren't that bad, are they? Jimmy Anderson gonna get suspended though? what's happnin in baseball land Doug? Pirates a little better this year?

9:30am davex:

Yes, Brian, thanks - it is a fascinating place! And thanks for all your tips! Nice sunny day here today...

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
Wow! Which camp did she go to? My daughter is at Indian Brook right now. I was at F&W from '72 to '77.

🥁

9:31am Brian in UK:

That Corvette is like the Beetle in Bullitt. Keeps appearing.
Is that estate a Plymouth?

9:33am ausmanx:

we Australians would be very happy if the Ashes cam eround again so soon, Uncle M, but usually only every couple of years. that's all the whuppin' them Poms can tolerate

9:34am davex:

@Brian, I don't know, but it looks to me like they're all parked in a no parking zone.

9:34am Webhamster Henry:

@Doug, she was there back in '66 or so.

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

@Webham H
Things have changed there in some ways (people wear clothes all the time now) and not in others.

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I loved the movie Bullitt! The car chases are amazing. When Steve McQueen gets run over by the airplane — wow!

🥁

9:39am Brian in UK:

Swag has arrived. Yipee.

South by South-West?

🥁

9:41am Brian in UK:

Doug, is DJô e Black Power, Portuguese?

9:42am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
From Cape Verde.

9:44am SeanG:

Howdy Doug and all other aficionados! Groovin' big time.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey hey SeanG!

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

The next track is from Mozambique, but it is sung in very much English.

🥁

9:47am Brian in UK:

That really is a Mr Natural walk.

🥁

9:49am Brian in UK:

This is the wonder of a radio, music can sound so alive, refreshing AND unexpected.

9:50am Jeff Golick:

This is crazy-good.

9:50am Jeff Golick:

They're underwater, right?

9:50am MrC:

This is great!

9:51am MrC:

We need to find that garage!

🥁

9:51am Artie:

Wow, digging this beat!

9:51am Gary:

What Jeff said. Knocking on Driftwood!

9:51am Alex In Illinois:

Well, they are below the equator

9:52am Alex In Illinois:

I am assuming that they are from Brazil

9:54am Alex In Illinois:

Oops, I got the continent wrong, though still below the Equator

9:59am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! weekend!

10:00am Webhamster Henry:

If you are still a little confused about the GTDR schedule, look at wfmu.org...

🥁

10:00am Artie:

The little wagon is a 1964 Ford Country Sedan Station Wagon. www.californiaclassix.com...

10:01am Webhamster Henry:

.. and of course a Checker Cab.

10:01am Guido from Cologne:

Loved the African section!
Hello Doug and everyone!

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

Top of the morning, MrC!

There are no oops, here, Alex. Only ooohs!

Hiya Artie!

Greetings Guido from Cologne!

10:02am Gary:

DLing Cazumbi now ... :)

🥁

10:04am Brian in UK:

Nice one Artie, column change & bench seats. Two gallons to the mile.

10:04am Cecile:

Hola, all!

🥁

10:06am Brian in UK:

Do you think he is carrying a gun in his right pocket and is going to unload it into the car behind the Ford?

10:06am Webhamster Henry:

I'm digging the Partchiness of this piece.

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Cecile!!

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

You're right, WebH, it's good to be Partched.

10:09am Cecile:

hahahaha, and he has Robert Ashley's sense of humor, too.

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

"His liver and kidneys, eaten raw..."

10:11am Cecile:

and some terrible terrible imagery

🥁

10:11am Brian in UK:

I likes me some eviseration.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Lee Hyla died in June. Nice remembrance here: www.chicagoreader.com...

10:17am MrC:

Wait a minute I left the room and the drummer's gone??

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

The beating heart inside each string quartet performer, there is your drummer, MrC.

🥁

10:22am Brian in UK:

That's a strong Armenian name.

🥁

10:24am βrian:

Those Checker cabs: built in K-Zoo, Michigan. Our neighbor had one. What a fun-boat.

10:24am davex:

this one requires earphones

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Keep them on for the next one, davex.

10:27am dave:

sound advice, great sounds!

🥁

10:32am βrian:

Bangor is not too far from K-Zoo.

10:33am Uncle Michael:

Charles A.: A collaborator with my renowned Uncle Jim.

10:33am Webhamster Henry:

The Checker factory was used in Paul Schrader's BLUE COLLAR with Richard Pryor, Harvey Keitel and Yaphet Kotto. See it!

10:34am ausmanx:

blue collar is a cracking film, too true, WH

10:38am Shaun:

Dudes got the hurry up. Hi Doug and everyone.

10:40am Doug Schulkind:

βrian from The Isthmus, how the hades are ya?

Yahoo to you, Shaun!

🥁

10:41am Brian in UK:

Hello Shaun. IT'S FRIDAY.

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

I love love love the title of our next selection. No I am not going to tell you now you have to wait.

🥁

10:43am βrian:

Life is swell on the isthmus, thanks. We sip wine and wait for the tomatoes to ripen.

10:45am Shaun:

Bigup yer status Brian. It's Friday, yes it's Friday. (You go to Mdou Moctar at the Oto last night/tonight? Gutted I couldn't.).

10:45am Cecile:

peter kowald is the boss.

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Never rush the tomatoes, βrian, or they will mock you.

🥁

10:49am Brian in UK:

Shaun, did not get to Oto.

We have some sweet, luscious toms in the greenhouse ripening. The only fruit you put salt on?

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

Ya, Cecile. What a terrible shock his death was. Only 58. Brutal.

🥁

10:50am βrian:

Far from it. We coo over them as our cat lounges beneath their sheltering foliage. A virtual cascade of good karma right there in the front yard. Passers-by nod in assent.

🥁

10:54am Brian in UK:

Got to cut & run. See you later, Boss.

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Adios, Brian. Have a lovely.

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

The next tune is going to bug you: www.discogs.com...

11:09am Cecile:

I thoiught that strawberry roan was going to be a lady, a la Taming of the Shrew. I was glad it was just a horse.

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

Did you hear this crazy jazz orchestra tune before?

🥁

11:11am bobdc:

I'd like to reiterate my original comment, because for this song Mr. Superfly certainly seems like a Hi-Fi bug to me.

11:19am Cecile:

this is gorgeous.

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Andrew Leigh is new to me. Really liking!

11:21am Cecile:

new to me, too!

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

That Andrew Leigh record was shared at the great, now deleted, Reneshoua blog.

11:24am Cecile:

I read a review of it, and they used the phrase "journeyman" to describe it. I've never understood the use of that phrase.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

They call baseball players who've played on many different teams "journeymen." It's got a kind of romantic sound to it. One could be called worse.

11:26am Shaun:

I'm unable to think of these as anything other than 'wifty men' since you used the phrase, Doug.

11:28am Uncle Michael:

Rock music?!

11:28am MrC:

Hats off man..you really go deep in all bags..like Willie Stargell!

11:29am Cecile:

I know, but it sounds to me like a phrase that those star-giver list-maker nuts give to people. Oh, it's good, but it's just a journeyman. One step below a master if you go by the old tradesman meaning. Nearly all of us are in one way or other.

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

I have indeed used that phrase, Shaun! Takes one to know one, I guess.

@MrC
I would prefer Frank Robinson, but appreciate the reference.

11:29am Uncle Michael:

I hope many of you will be able to join me in the next room. wfmu.org...

11:29am Gary:

I had to get up to make sure this was still your show, Doug. The GF literally asked me: "Is this still Doug?"

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
For those about to (play) rock (records on the radio), I salute you!

11:30am MrC:

Richie Allen for me..

11:31am Cecile:

damn, their bass player is gooooood.

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

For the last number of months I have been ending the show with a sequence of soul tracks. For this week's show I am going to do exactly that. Hahahaha! Because I can!

11:36am Uncle Michael:

It's good to be the king.

11:36am Cecile:

DAMN this is TIGHT

11:37am dave:

all good, Doug, all good!

11:38am marcury:

Hola all, just checked in.

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Marcury! Marcury!

11:40am Santos L Halper:

Dug that set Doug, wifty or not.

🥁

11:41am βrian:

Thinking about a little felafel with hot sauce and a side of tabouli ...

11:41am Dean:

DJs say the darndest things!

11:42am Cecile:

Art's daughter was drug-free when she killed herself. She had tried suicide a couple of times before. She had used drugs, but was clean at the time of her death.

Someone did a really thorough investigation of that a few years back.

11:43am Jesse K:

late morning Doug, everyone!

11:43am Cecile:

Chris Lucie might have given her acid, but most likely not that night as far as the reporter discovered.

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Santos and Dean! (Sounds like a law firm. "No more questions! Please refer all inquiries to my representation at Santos and Dean.")

11:44am Uncle Michael:

No felafel kerfuffle.

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for clearing that up, Cecile!

11:44am Uncle Michael:

"No questions!"

-Jimmy Castor

11:45am ndbob:

one of Joanie's best songs!

11:45am Cecile:

I'm a little obsessed by that because that was the scare story they fed us in elementary school. As I grew older, Phillip K. Dick was a way better (and realer) cautionary tale.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael's Hinky Dinky Time show begins in 13 minutes. Playlist page here: wfmu.org...

11:47am Dean:

Watch it. I am a member of the bar, albeit inactive. But I'm perfectly capable of issuing an invoice for services rendered.

🥁

11:47am listener james from westwood:

Glad the closing soul revue's part of the show, Doug. I look forward to it.
Been on the phone 2 hr with someone I can only describe as a sister from another mother. Wonderful to have someone who gets you to that degree. You find someone like that in life, hang onto them if you can.

11:48am Cecile:

Reader, I married him

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

It is nice to be "got," Listener James.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

This heartbeat sound effect was kinda terrifyingly realistic.

🥁

11:52am listener james from westwood:

Cecile, that is always a great opportunity. Glad you took it.
WFMU and GTDR are my musical "gots," too.

11:53am ndbob:

interesting record - not many soul 45s on Hickory

11:55am Cecile:

Listener James, I had a similar experience talking to an old friend I hadn't seen in a while who'd just opened another record store. So much fun, I'll have to make a point of getting there more often.

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Leave it to you, ndbob, to know that!

11:57am Cecile:

more stuff to buy...

11:57am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:58am dave x:

sure got this show, thanks Doug!

🥁

11:58am listener james from westwood:

Cecile: Always, always.
Thanks mightily, Doug!

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Big radio love to you all! Thanks for hanging out with me and my records!

11:58am Uncle Michael:

See you all in the next room. Great show, Doug. Thanks!

11:59am Gary:

Thanks for ensuing the merriment, Schulkind & Doug!

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

Fun fun fun fun fun!

12:00pm Cecile:

I'm going to sticik around for Unca Mike this week.

12:01pm Santos L Halper:

You'll be glad you did Cecile!

12:04pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, Doug!

3:02pm Santos L Halper:
