8:51am Uncle Michael:

The appendix was removed?

8:52am Doug Schulkind:

Spleen but not heard.

8:53am glenn:

🥁

9:01am listener james from westwood:

Happy Friday, Doug and all!

9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Now that you're here, LJFW!

9:09am Uncle Michael:

You'll never get me up in one of those.

🥁

9:09am listener james from westwood:

I am in a Scharplingesque negative-chump–crushing way today. I revere GTDR as a gloriously chump-free bastion, but FB and Twitter are ON NOTICE. Looking forward to wonders. Plus I get to celebrate my dad's 80th b'day tonight. I will be saying this all day: "Eighty!" Amazing to me what he's seen.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Happy birthday to your pops, Listener James!

🥁

9:10am listener james from westwood:

I still anticipate a Capt. Kirk-vs-the-Gorn struggle to get the check for dinner away from him.

9:12am mr c:

A sermon from Mt. Pittsburgh...Dave Parker is my witness

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

I assume you are wearing your exciting linens, Mr. C?

9:13am mr c:

you betcha

9:14am glenn:

i saw mr. parker up close at the sky dome one night. unbelievable how huge he is.

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

This falsetto dude here sounds like the guy from Rose Royce who sings "I Just Wanna Get Close to You."

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

The final track in this sequence (up next) is in you-don't-believe-your-ears territory.

9:24am glenn:

also; exciting linen singers? the imagery is ummmmm, interesting.

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

I thought it was the Mormons with the exciting linens?

At least Mr. Quincy respects that fact that women are human.

🥁

9:31am listener james from westwood:

They've got binders full of linens!

9:32am Uncle Michael:

Orthodox linens have Morman linens beat. PLUS, both factions get to yell "gentile" at one another.

9:33am Doug Schulkind:

Getting ready for Mitt 2.0?

9:34am Uncle Michael:

My pet carrier is already atop my car.

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

Seamus on you, Unclae Michael!

🥁

9:37am listener james from westwood:

See, with Satanism, all you need is a heavy metal T-shirt. Or so various preachers say. SABBATH RULES!

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

Nice twist at the end of this one.

🥁

9:40am duke:

Pastafarians only need a colander on the head

9:40am Uncle Michael:

Johnnie Ray's "What's The Use?" would be an apt pairing with this.

9:41am Alex In Illinois:

Hi everyone. Listener James from Westwood's comment about his dad, "'Eighty!' Amazing to me what he's seen", reminds me of John Cleese talking about his century old mother living through most of the 20th century and being oblivious to everything significant that occurred during that century.

🥁

9:43am listener james from westwood:

Cleese's mom's a centenarian? Wow! Hope it's genetic in his case. If all the screaming he did as Basil Fawlty didn't kill him, nothing will.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Morning, Alex in Ill!

9:44am Andrew Waterloo:

That gif is mesmerizing

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Keep staring, Andrew Waterloo, and my plan for world domination will have inched forward.

9:46am davex:

Good evening everyone - getting dark over here...

9:46am glenn:

darlin', let's go all the way.

9:47am Andrew Waterloo:

I guess it's a little too early to be adding whiskey to my coffee.

🥁

9:48am listener james from westwood:

Go with Greenwich Mean Time and see where that puts the clock.

9:49am ndbob:

and off the phone... nice set here!

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

Leiping lizards, it's davex!

9:50am glenn:

it's noon somewhere.

9:51am Cecile:

hola!

9:51am Cecile:

Exciting Linen Singers! What a group name!

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Cecile!

9:54am Cecile:

Doug!

9:54am doca:

Hey, now I'm here! What's up in the show?

9:54am Gary:

Better late than stuck playing drums on small fake helicopter, I always say

9:55am Andrew Waterloo:

I guess I could technically work off the Italian clock

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Fake? FAKE? I want my money back. Hello Gary.

9:57am Cecile:

I just ordered the complete Batman TV series on Blu-ray for my husband after watching him watch the infomercial in rapt silence. I think I did right by him. Plus it comes with a Hot Wheels batmobile.

9:57am doca:

That Brazilian balloon priest was not the first Brazilian to propose a strange flying device, in the 18th century another priest, Bartolomeu de Gusmão, developed the project for a flying machine. According to contemporary sources it worked: purl.pt...

9:58am Cecile:

you guys never DO grow up, do you? :D

9:58am doca:

Wow, @Cecile, a hot wheels batmobile sounds amazing

9:58am Doug Schulkind:

I owned that Hot Wheels batmobile!

9:58am Cecile:

he did too!

🥁

9:59am duke:

Grow up? Totally unnecessary.

9:59am Cecile:

hahahhahaha
I haven't grown up much myself.

🥁

10:01am duke:

Holy Hot Wheels Robin, I have discovered that maturity is totally overrated.

10:01am glenn:

please. if we were grown up the internet wouldn't exist.

10:02am Cecile:

that is very true. I just had to josh you a little. He will probably give me a Barbie Christmas tree ornament and I will shriek like a little girl.

10:08am Jesse K:

You rang!?

10:08am Gary:

One of my favorite tracks of all time. That voice!

10:08am Cecile:

Maybe she's close to developing her own style. I remember a lot of early Oblivions records sounding like carbon-copy garage stuff until something lit up in their brains. And then the floodgates happened - Reigning Sound and all those other Greg Cartwright projects.

10:08am still b/p:

Someone who might've been me might've been wearing a Batman costume while watching some early Batman episodes back when they originally aired. Seeing bits of the show decades later, I'm always struck by just how broadly arch, spoofy and goofy it was.

10:08am Cecile:

same thing with the Dirtbombs.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
That krar!

10:10am Alex In Illinois:

This Serguela Abdi sounds like Gnawa healing music with some electric guitars added.

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

@Cecile
I know nothing of Rebecca Hall (and her collaborating husband), so I am probably waaay off, but that's just the impression my brain formed. And who am I to argue with my brain?

10:11am Webhamster Henry:

And the success of the 1966 BATMAN spawned knock-offs like THE GREEN HORNET,and CAPTAIN NICE.

10:11am Jesse K:

That Sahrauis box set is excellent imo, 3 discs of really hard to find music elsewhere.

10:12am davex:

A short but sweet visit for me today - thanks, Doug!

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Well it was a tall visit in my view, davex!

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
I once edited an Encyclopedia of Superheroes and got Adam West to write a foreword!

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Actually, I can't take any credit for it West was a friend of the author, Jeff Rovin, and Rovin got West to write the foreword.

10:16am Hugo:

Any idea where this monastery is located?

10:16am Gary:

^Impressed!

10:16am Cecile:

DUDE.
How was he to work with? I have to tell my husband.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Hugo
Somewhere in Tibet.

10:19am Webhamster Henry:

Frankie! vimeo.com...

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

I also edited for Jeff Rovin The Encyclopedia of Supervillains. Here was the original, though: www.amazon.com...

10:19am annie:

ok, breakfast is ett, who's making lunch? i'm clocking off the playlist, it tends to freeze my utterly advanced and superior version of safari.. hi cecile!!!

10:20am mr c:

Nice for Mr. Sinatra at 99....Alec Wilder to boot

10:20am Paul Sherratt:

>>Somewhere in Tibet.

Just look for the smoke rising ...

10:21am Hugo:

I have one of these ceremonial trumpets at home, bought from Tibetans in Nepal. We can't play it ourselves, but we got one over who could and the neighbour called to ask what was going on.

10:21am Alex In Illinois:

@still b/p: Bat Shark repellent? Let's see, Bat eel repellent, bat squid repellent, .. here it is, Bat Shark Repellent!

Penguin: Where can I get some water?
Robin: Our Bat Water Dispenser is clearly labeled right here.
(everything in the Bat Cave is shown as clearly labeled)

10:22am Cecile:

ANNIE!!!!

10:23am Paul Sherratt:

Hugo, what did you tell the neighbour?

10:23am annie:

always wonderful to see youse guys

10:23am annie:

see y'all next week

10:23am still b/p:

Production Values Repellent, check.

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

Tata, annie! Have a lovely weekend.

Greetings, Paul Sherratt! I was just discussing my Ph.D. thesis about Rebecca Hall and the authenticity of inauthenticity.

10:27am still b/p:

I ain't sayin' nothing...but...
www.condenaststore.com...

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Ayup.

10:30am Paul Sherratt:

Doug, yes that thesis made our breakfast ( not in bed ) more interesting than usual ( Great, that Eddie Hinton song )

10:32am Hugo:

Paul: The truth and nothing but the truth. The neigbour knows about it, it hangs from the celing in the living room. We also brought with us a Tibetan sword, a prayer wheel and a khukri knife. Would that have been possible today?

10:37am Doug Schulkind:

@Paul
I owe my love of Eddie Hinton to you! (And to Eddie, as well, obviously.)

10:37am Paul Sherratt:

Hugo, you'd certainly have problems with the prayer wheel... We once scared neighbours when guests D L Menard & Eddie Lejeune wandered down our lane early one Spring morning.

🥁

10:37am βrian:

Holy cognitive warpage! I knew I was listening to GTDS, but the playlist I mistakenly pulled up was for Thomas S. Which was fine, but his voice sounded *exactly* like Doug's! How could that be?
(I'm better now.)

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Webhamster Henry! I'll click the link later. If I do now, it will go out over the air. (Though I'm sure it would be more than fine since you sent the link.)

10:38am Hugo:

cdn.discogs.com...

Lovely record (for deep immersion in sound).

10:38am Cecile:

this is lovely. and it is amazing how you can never know everything anymore. Someone or something will pop up

10:40am Parq:

G'morning all. Have the day off, and am enjoying the second half with my morning coffee. 'Cile, nice to see you down at this end of the hallway.

10:41am Cecile:

you too Parq.

🥁

10:42am duke:

@Parq talk to Andrew. He has whiskey for the coffee.

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome, βrian! I've been told I also have a similar vocal quality to my colleague Rob Weisberg (of Transpacific Sound Paradise).

Parq!
We are taking our dog to Advanced Puppy classes and one of the things we are teaching her is "Park It!" which has her come sit down next to one of us sitting in a chair. I think of you when issue the command.

10:42am Rich in Washington:

Wow! Does this sound like it's straight outta Joujouka, or what?

10:43am Rich in Washington:

Hola, Doug! Helloz Drummersome-ateers!

🥁

10:44am listener james from westwood:

Diggin the "Egypt Strut"!

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Spinning on the Joujouka boxa!

10:45am Parq:

Doug, I am honored to be a small part of your puppy experience. We have two senior dogs in questionable health, but both are still here.

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Rich in WA!

@Parq
I have followed some of the ups and downs of your dog days on FB.

🥁

10:48am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug.

@Paul Sherratt I was only playing Shelby Lynne's take on Dusty the other day. Bread pudding and custard in bed. (apologies to Dylan Thomas)

🥁

10:49am βrian:

Aren't Advanced Puppy classes the ones where the puppy learns to never grow into an adult, but stay young, fluffy, and completely irresistible?

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
From your lips to Gods furry little ears!

Hallo, Brian in UK!
I just saw that Shelby Lynne's great comeback record "I Am Shelby Lynne" has be remastered and rereleased with bonus tracks from the original sessions. Woo!

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

Doug, love that record.
Love Shelby Lynne.
Hate bonus tracks.

10:59am Paul Sherratt:

There should be a law where Ms Lynne's ' Where I'm From ' has to be recorded by every living artist ... ok, maybe not

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

I hate the dangling of bonus tracks as a commercial enticement, but don't hate getting to hear more Shelby Lynne!

🥁

11:00am Brian in UK:

She is a dog owner. Just saying.

🥁

11:04am βrian:

In that case, I'm happy to listen to her, but she'll need to stay off of my lawn.

🥁

11:06am Brian in UK:

@βrian and your leg?

🥁

11:07am βrian:

Hmm. That bears thought.

11:08am Mike East:

"Love, Shelby" and Wilco's "Yankee Foxtrot Hotel" were the two albums that EVERYONE bought when I worked at Borders in the early aughts...and I've never heard either.

Good morning, alternate streamers.

11:08am Rich in Washington:

gotta drive to work now. :(
Catch you on the flipper flopper.

11:08am Paul Sherratt:

Brians and everyone Merry Christmas ! http://tinyurl.com/qa6sxdj

11:09am Rich in Washington:

sounds like the record's backwards. Or maybe it's me.

11:09am Doug Schulkind:

This great Gabonese collection is downloadable here: likembe.blogspot.com...

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

ANPAC = l'Agence National de Promotion Artistique et Culturelle

11:10am Carmichael:

Heya Doug and 101st Airborne drum commandos.

🥁

11:11am Brian in UK:

@Carmichael watch out they do not snare you.

11:12am Lewis:

hey there everyone - long time no see! The semester is done, with only grading remaining. long live GTDS!

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Lewis & Carmichael! Carmichael & Lewis!

🥁

11:13am Brian in UK:

It's dark outside but bright and breezy in here. Thanks Doug.

🥁

11:14am Brian in UK:

Congo?

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

I can make it hail if you like, Brian in UK. Just say the word.

🥁

11:15am Brian in UK:

Hale & Hearty.

🥁

11:16am Brian in UK:

@Paul sounds like a comic duo from the Seventies.

11:20am Carmichael:

And I had the Batman AND Green Hornet mobiles, as well as track laid all over the house (which makes a good switch when your parents are mad at you).

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
The orange track with those purple connectors, amirite?!

11:23am Carmichael:

You bet, Doug. And a powerhouse to keep 'em going!

11:24am Dean:

It is my privilege to extend to the weather-making DJ a laurel and hearty handshake...

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

And the loop-da-loop never fuckn worked.

@Dean
The Dean of listeners!

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

Forgot to say hey to you, Mike East! HEY!

11:35am Dean:

I know she's singing "I got dem...," but it sounds like something else.

11:36am redkayak:

Wow.....Detroit Jr!

11:36am Uncle Michael:

OK, I think this is as organized as I'm going to get.

I hope you'll all join me at the top of the hour.
wfmu.org...

11:37am redkayak:

I remember seeing this guy a few times back in the day :)

11:37am Cecile:

sing it, jr.

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

Ahoy, redkayak! And Detroit Jr. playing "urban Chicago blues" just doesn't make sense?

🥁

11:38am βrian:

@Dean: Speaking of, file this for watching:
www.youtube.com...

11:38am Cecile:

Carm, you've got mail, if you haven't checked already.

11:38am Mike East:

HEY Doug!

11:41am redkayak:

Doug, Detroit Jr was a fixture here in Chicago for many years...

11:41am Dean:

Thanks, βrian. Will do. Also, both my mother and my m-i-l hear "goddamn" in the lyrics to Meghan Trainor's "All About the Bass." Must be a generational thing.

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

@redkayak
The honorable Mr. Emery Williams, Jr!

11:42am Cecile:

@Dean, talk about inauthentic. Everything about that song I should like, but I hate it.

11:43am Uncle Michael:

I got nowhere to run to, baby...nowhere to hide.

11:43am redkayak:

Yeah! Gosh, it was a long time ago....

🥁

11:43am Brian in UK:

Northern Soul?

11:43am redkayak:

Doug - Great tunes today...thanks! Well played, sir.....

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Yessir, Brian in UK!

11:44am Carmichael:

Thanks, Cece, I shall look forthwith!

11:44am redkayak:

Adios, folks......the tundra is calling. Happy Friday!

11:45am mr c:

Courtin Mama/going with my daughter...the other side of Heartstoppers is great

11:45am Dean:

@Cecile, I hear you, but I confess I still enjoy it, mostly because I enjoyed explaining some of the word play to my son. I'll go further: I quite enjoy some of the hits "kids these days" are listening to, the Taylor Swifts, the Ariane Grandes, what have you. My only complaint is their ubiquity. Takes away from my quality Rachmaninov time.

11:48am Robt:

Love this frankie seay soul food song.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

You would know, Mr C.

Glad you loved it, Robt!

🥁

11:51am Brian in UK:

Doug, will you be lally gagging on the radio waves on Boxing Day?

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Yes I will, Brian in UK.

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael's funky donkey will be kicking and braying over here in a few minutes: wfmu.org...

11:53am Uncle Michael:

I hope I remember to start the show this week.

11:53am Cecile:

Dean, I pretty much stick to Adele and Kendrick Lamar when it comes to the top 40 these days. I sound just like a codger npr listener looking at these words.

But I listen to a ton of current weird dance music, so there you go.

11:54am Cecile:

Robyn. I like her too.

11:54am Hugo:

@Doug: Some good news on the reissue front:

www.duttonvocalion.co.uk...

🥁

11:55am Brian in UK:

Oh you done me, Doug. Good night. Must be a late number when them knashers were playing up.

11:55am Cecile:

hugo: squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Wow, Hugo. Finally!

11:56am Uncle Michael:

Great show today, Doug. Thank you. See you all in the next room.

Look at that chopper go!

11:56am Cecile:

get...to...the...choppah!

11:56am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:57am Gary:

Thanks for the awesome, Doug!

11:57am Dominick:

Another thoroughly enjoyable proram

11:57am Dean:

"Near, far, wherever you are... I believe the hot dogs go on..."

🥁

11:57am listener james from westwood:

Always a joy, Doug; many thanks!

11:57am Cecile:

mmmm hot dogs.

11:57am Dean:

@Cecile: NPR? Too, too harsh.

11:58am Jesse K:

thanks for the excellent show Doug! It straightened me out to some extent.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

ndbob / Gary / Dominick / Dean / Everyhuman

THANKS!!

11:58am Cecile:

Hey, I used to write for their song of the day a while back. Most of the people went "thank god! something different!"

11:59am Cecile:

thank you doug.

12:00pm Cecile:

I think Al was a pretty dark angel himself.

🥁

12:01pm bobdc:

Great show as always!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Probably right, Cecile. But it didn't fit the image that popped into my noggin.

Hiya, bobdc!!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Jesse K is A-OK!

12:05pm Paul Sherratt:
