WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 03/14/14

Listener comments!

8:02am ausmanx:

happy days when you go onto summer time, as it means i get to start listening to GTDS again! only an hour before i finish shift at 1 a.m., but it's good to be back...

♥ 8:09am Doug Schulkind:

@ausmanx
G r e a t to have you back!

🥁 ♥ 8:09am duke:

Happy Pi Day, Mr Drummer and Drummer folks

♥ 8:10am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
Sure, as long as it's pecan pi day!

🥁

♥ 8:47am Jeff Golick:

Tangent! Secant! Cosine! Sine!
Three point one four one five nine!
(The Math Team cheer.)
Happy Pi Day, duke, Doug, ausmanx, and all the decimal places to come.

♥ 8:51am Doug Schulkind:

My high school had a really obnoxious chant at football and basketball games that worked into the words not only pi but also the number of national merit scholarship semi-finalists we had compared to the other school. Insufferable!

🥁

♥ 8:57am listener james from westwood:

How do, Doug and all!!

🥁

♥ 8:57am Jeff Golick:

Well I certainly hope to hear that during the first break, Doug.

♥ 8:58am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Listener James!

8:58am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

♥ 8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Good day, Sir Ndbob!

♥ 9:00am davex:

Good morning~afternoon! Pi for everyone!

9:00am thedunkel:

awwww yeah-yuh! Its 100% drummer time!

♥ 9:00am Doug Schulkind:

davex and thedunkel, you've come to the funky right place!

🥁

♥ 9:02am Uncle Michael:

pi day isn't until July in the UK.

♥ 9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Brother Uncle Michael!

🥁

♥ 9:05am Uncle Michael:

buenos dias

🥁

♥ 9:05am Jeff Golick:

@UM: or it could be the 31st of April? (Hullo!)

🥁

♥ 9:05am holland oats:

drumma! peoples!

♥ 9:06am davex:

Uncle Michael: You're right, I found this: "If you write the date in the month/ date format, today, March 14 or 3/14 is Pi Day for you. If you don’t, well, you will just have to wait a few more months, until Pi Approximation Day on July 22 (22/7)."

9:06am Van in DC:

Almost made it on time for the first time in quite a time. It's time! Hi Doug!

🥁

♥ 9:06am Uncle Michael:

Nope! 22/7

Hi!

🥁

♥ 9:06am listener james from westwood:

For the UK Pi Day, do they have a butter pie?

🥁

♥ 9:07am Uncle Michael:

The butter wouldn't melt, James.

🥁

♥ 9:08am holland oats:

uncle michael have you seen this? new flick in the works by director of big star doc > www.drewdenicola.com - AIN'T NO ROOTY TOOTS!

♥ 9:08am davex:

For Pi Approximation Day, they just about have pie.

🥁

♥ 9:08am Jeff Golick:

Aha! Now I see. ::turns in Math Team id and protractor::

♥ 9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Holla, holland O!

I hope the show is moving, Van. (Get it? Get it? Moving Van!)

♥ 9:09am davex:

This is a great recording, close your eyes and be transported...

9:10am ausmanx:

i see the jokes/puns are still up the same standard. phew!

🥁

♥ 9:10am Henry Rollins:

Get in the van, Van.

♥ 9:11am Doug Schulkind:

@Henry Rollins
I don't get it.

9:11am glenn:

you gotta have standards in life.

9:12am Van in DC:

Be back...heading down by the river for a minute

🥁

♥ 9:12am holland oats:

he wrote a book by that name. k i'll shut up now

🥁

♥ 9:12am listener james from westwood:

Rollins's Black Flag tour diaries were published under the title "Get in the Van." Apropos, as Hank is also from DC.

🥁

♥ 9:12am listener james from westwood:

Van, say hi to Matt Foley if you see him.

9:14am glenn:

personally, i think henry rollins is a major league asshole, but maybe that's just me.

9:15am ndbob:

great set here!

🥁

♥ 9:15am holland oats:

agreed, biggest chode in rock

🥁

♥ 9:17am listener james from westwood:

He was good in the film "Heat."
(He got thrown thru a window in "Heat.")

9:18am glenn:

on the other hand, i have to give him major credit for taking it upon himself to release all the old gun club albums on his label.

♥ 9:18am Doug Schulkind:

@holland oats
I have no idea what "chode" means, but I vow to use it daily.

🥁

♥ 9:19am Uncle Michael:

I saw the HRB the day after 9/11 and he was very good and his head was in the right place.

♥ 9:19am Doug Schulkind:

OK, I just Googled "chode." Jeez, there really is a word for... that?

🥁

♥ 9:19am Uncle Michael:

holland...WOW

9:20am glenn:

i believe the term chode was first used in veronica mars, but i could easily be wrong.

🥁

♥ 9:20am holland oats:

haha

🥁

♥ 9:21am Jeff Golick:

I recall hearing "chode" during my late 1980s college years. Via a guy from Seattle...?

🥁

♥ 9:21am listener james from westwood:

I first heard it on Beavis & Butt-head. Huh huh, they said "chode."

9:22am ausmanx:

rather disturbingly, there appears to be a song about chodes. will we be hearing it, doug? www.youtube.com...

🥁 ♥ 9:22am bobdc:

Mia Mai Ma Mia Mai Mi indeed! With a little Oye Como Va percussion mixed in!

🥁

♥ 9:23am Uncle Michael:

Chode is a word I learned from underground comix in around 1970.

🥁

♥ 9:25am Uncle Michael:

I'll credit S. Clay Wilson for exposing me to "chode."

♥ 9:25am Doug Schulkind:

Chode sounds like some vegan staple. Then again, maybe it... Oh never mind.

Hello bobdc!

🥁

♥ 9:25am Jeff Golick:

I know little about Rollins, but his label has put out some righteous stuff, notably Matt Shipp in a bunch of contexts.

Meanwhile, I could imagine that hanging with Shipp and Rollins for an evening could possibly put one off of people for a while.

9:26am glenn:

(vegans should be stapled) *runs away really fast*

9:30am ausmanx:

and for those interested in Cambodian pop, may i recommend this rather extraordinary story... www.abc.net.au...

🥁 ♥ 9:30am duke:

@Jeff I'm going to see Matthew Shipp tomorrow evening at a small venue in Troy NY. Don't expect to see Rollins there.

9:31am Van in DC:

Loud and clear!

🥁

♥ 9:31am Jeff Golick:

@duke: aw man, jealous. Solo outing?

🥁

♥ 9:31am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: hearing you as turn up the Martells!

🥁

♥ 9:32am Jeff Golick:

Feels like Doug just left the room. So now we talk about him behind his back, right?

Oh wait, never mind.

9:32am Cecile:

Guess what? We have wi fi at work now. Great to hear you Doug.

🥁 ♥ 9:32am duke:

@Jeff A trio with Michael Bisio, bass, and Whit Dickey, drums

🥁

♥ 9:34am Matt F:

I always thought it was spelled (spelt?) "choad". Other synonyms include "bonch", "nifkin", "grundle", and perhaps the best-known, "taint".

🥁

♥ 9:34am Jeff Golick:

@duke. That's a sweet group. Just noticed they have a new rekkid coming out next week! www.relativepitchrecords.com...

🥁

♥ 9:35am listener james from westwood:

Hearing Gus on this end!
Howdy, Cecile!

🥁

♥ 9:35am Jeff Golick:

@ausmanx: That looks like an insane story. Thanks for the link.

🥁

♥ 9:37am Jeff Golick:

@Matt F: 'tain't gonna google it, but pretty sure "taint" refers to a proximate but different groinal area/thing.

Also, hi, what's up?

🥁

♥ 9:37am listener james from westwood:

What a voice on Gus!

♥ 9:37am Doug Schulkind:

Knew we could count on you to provide the full monty of synonyms, Matt F!

9:38am ndbob:

@ausmax Thanks!

🥁

♥ 9:39am Jeff Golick:

...I will stop playlist-bombing shortly. The reason I know anything about this is on account of my co. having recently published the audiobook recording of a mystery regrettably called THE TAINT OF MIDAS. Kids of a certain age will be finding this high-sterical.

🥁

♥ 9:40am holland oats:

taint braggin' if you done it

♥ 9:41am Doug Schulkind:

Wow, restarting my computer in the middle of the show is some scary DJ shit. I am still sweating it out, even though it worked. I need a drink.

9:41am ausmanx:

there's a big feature length doco about Cambodian music from the 60s and 70s being released in a few months too. should do the festivals in the US and Europe (i'm doing the subtitles soon..)

🥁

♥ 9:41am Jeff Golick:

Maybe make a pallet on your floor, Doug?

My sympathies!

🥁

♥ 9:43am Uncle Michael:

taint necessarily so

🥁

♥ 9:44am listener james from westwood:

@ausmanx: Thanks for the scoop; sounds like one to catch when it makes the rounds!

9:44am ausmanx:

gotta get a stream in my car for the drive home... evening all, good to get reacquainted, and to expand my vocabulary. i think.

♥ 9:44am Doug Schulkind:

I owe huge thanks to WFMU tech guru Jeff Moore for suggesting I try the restart a few months back. Glad I was able to pull that bit of wisdom from the deep recesses. I love you Jeff Moore.

🥁

♥ 9:44am listener james from westwood:

Midas better be flexible if he wants to ... oh, I can't finish the thought.

9:45am ndbob:

ah "the some got six months some got solid" line - another great one!

♥ 9:45am Doug Schulkind:

Don't leave until after this one, ausmanx!

9:45am dc pat:

hello. @ausmanx: get the fmu app for phone.

9:46am ndbob:

@ausmax really looking forward to it

🥁

♥ 9:47am Uncle Michael:

Whenever ausmanx is here for your show, Doug...I make a point of playing Oz music he'll miss during mine...only not really...it just seems to work out that way.

♥ 9:49am SeanG:

Now we be houserockin! Howdy all!

♥ 9:49am Doug Schulkind:

@dc pat
Yeah, what you said!

9:50am Cecile:

Hey, James, all!

♥ 9:53am Doug Schulkind:

Wow, it's Cecile! Hi Cecile!

9:55am Cecile:

Hey Doug!

9:59am glenn:

cecile slummin' with the drummer today.

🥁

♥ 9:59am listener james from westwood:

Hey, the old Steinski-at-Noon intro music!

🥁

♥ 9:59am Uncle Michael:

I promote this concept all the time...with the app and my smartphone and with Bluetooth (though a wired connection would be fine)...I listen to WFMU in the car constantly.

🥁

♥ 10:00am listener james from westwood:

Only the mighty Hinky Dinky Time was able to ease my weekly yen for that tune and the ensuing mix-tacular show.

10:00am glenn:

hmmmm. he was an el driver?

🥁

♥ 10:00am Uncle Michael:

Aww...thanks James.

10:01am Cecile:

Hummin with the drummer

He used to be my Friday ritual. I love Keili but miss Doug and am thrilled I can hear it again.

10:02am dc pat:

I like listening to the app on the phone speakers and pretending that I'm listening to an old transistor radio...

10:02am still b/p:

I think it just took me a week-and-half to get the music up and running here this morning...mysteries, restarts and groaning slowness. Taint fair. No one here to lash out at -- maybe the mail carrier later.

10:02am Cecile:

No more YouTube/pandora/FMU archives on Fridays!

10:03am dc pat:

right on Cecile.

♥ 10:08am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
You have a highly evolved set of ears, my friend!

♥ 10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
Not correct. But you have the right sort of "public service" concept.

THE ANSWER:
Jimmy Yancey was a groundskeeper for the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park!

🥁

♥ 10:12am listener james from westwood:

Thanks! The rest of me is somewhat Australopithecine, but those ears? Homo sapiens freeformii.

10:12am glenn:

huh. was he the reason they didn't have a winning season for forty years?

🥁

♥ 10:13am listener james from westwood:

These ballet suites are quite excellent, BTW.

♥ 10:15am Doug Schulkind:

"Intellectual" is a rough word to hang on a jazz guy. The intellectual crowd won't believe and the jazz crowd will scorn it. Truth is, most of the top improvising artists were deeply intellectual and knowledgable about all kinds of music, including "classical," whatever the fudge that means.

10:16am Cecile:

I wish skaters would skate to more jazz besides Harlem Nocturne and Sing Sing Sing. This would make a great program

10:17am Cecile:

Jazz musicians are among some of the smartest people I know.

10:18am dc pat:

I think you have to have some brains to attempt to tackle the jazz...

♥ 10:19am Doug Schulkind:

I love trying to visualize what the dancers might be doing to this music. There are tiny discordant phrases tucked away that would provide interesting places for the dancers to collaborate with.

♥ 10:21am Santos L Halper:

*yawn* Morning Doug. Looking forward to a rare live listen today! Don't know Bill Russo but this is sounding good.

10:21am glenn:

they could skate to the andy of mayberry theme, if they wanted to stick with the earle hagen ouvre.

10:21am Cecile:

You have to have at bare minimum physical prowess and an excellent memory. To excel, you have to solve problems on your feet and translate abstract ideas into something parseable by the human ear.

10:23am Cecile:

Exactly Doug, and good skaters would do likewise.

♥ 10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Santos L. Halper!

10:25am Van in DC:

"To excel, you have to solve problems on your feet and translate abstract ideas into something parseable by the human ear."

Heh, kind of like a DJ, eh Doug?

🥁

♥ 10:26am listener james from westwood:

Damn. Great, great piece there.

10:26am heinz:

Hello Doug,
I have not visited you place for some time. I feel at home right away though.
I am going to read your http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2014/02/uncle-bernie-novelty-mart-and-frank-zappa-in-the-comics.html . I have been listening to '70-'76 Zappa last couple of weeks. With George Duke, Napoleon Murphy Brock, Ruth Underwood, Jean Luc Ponty etc. Much is on youtube that I never heard before.
Do you like that stuff?
BR

🥁

♥ 10:26am Andrew Waterloo:

The world just needs more jazz than Swing Swing Swing

10:27am Cecile:

Andrew Waterloo, you ain't kidding.

10:29am glenn:

i feel like the world needs more of everything and less of everything at the same time.

🥁

♥ 10:30am Gary:

Caught the sad, lonely, goin to jail set on the train ... loved the mythological song! Hunkering down to work now, but listening

🥁

♥ 10:31am Jeff Golick:

Gotta run out to do an errand, Doug. Don't play anything good for a while?
Thanks.

@glenn, et al.: What's that Louis CK line? Everything's amazing, nobody's happy.

♥ 10:35am Doug Schulkind:

Happy hunkering, Gary! Elated erranding, Jeff Golick!

Welcome aboard, heinz! I would say that those artists are not in heavy rotation at my house. (I don't know Ruth Underwood.)

10:36am Van in DC:

Apparently it's National Pi Day. I'll drink 3.14 glasses of beer to that.

♥ 10:37am Santos L Halper:

@heinz: thanks for the link, that's some amazing cultural archaeology there to dig through. And the Duke-Brock era is great for sure.

10:37am dc pat:

ok, let's pause for a little bit. I have to lay down some bass tracks and it looks like Jeff is going to be out too so ....good stopping place.

♥ 10:38am Doug Schulkind:

@Van
That would make it National Pi-nt Day

10:38am heinz:

Ruth? Thats Ruth:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSavN19ZJ4g&list=RDndtyGyh6iCU

10:39am jk:

Morning Doug, morning all!

🥁

♥ 10:40am Andrew Waterloo:

We need a national bring a beer to work day

♥ 10:40am Doug Schulkind:

Can't open that video now, heinz, or it would go out live over the air!

🥁

♥ 10:40am Alex In Illinois:

I hear a talking drum in that mix. Like a Yoruba Dundun.

♥ 10:41am Doug Schulkind:

@Andrew Waterloo
Bring your Draughter to Work Day!

Hey, JK! Howdy, Alex in Illinois!

🥁

♥ 10:41am Alex In Illinois:

I meant in the Simba song

10:42am still b/p:

Are you movin', Simba, 'cause you're a man, yes you am, and you can't help but love me so?

♥ 10:43am Doug Schulkind:

You DID indeed, Alex!

10:46am Cecile:

Jade warrior haven't heard that name in forever

♥ 10:46am northguineahills:

Groovy!

10:47am heinz:

"would go out live over the air!"
Well, might be an interesting experiment!
But I was not expecting you to do so...

🥁 ♥ 10:47am bobdc:

I probably won't be able to listen to your show live two weeks from today because I'll be in... South Africa! Cape Town specifically, and I'm happy to hear any musical tourism recommendations. (My wife is more focused on the nature stuff.)

🥁

♥ 10:50am Andrew Waterloo:

You get some interesting mixes when you listen to WFMU and watch news reports and youtube videos at the same time,

♥ 10:50am Doug Schulkind:

@bobdc
Send me an email and I will get back to you. I don't know Cape Town well, but I will email my man Chris Albertyn in Durban. He will know the places to go.

@northguineahills
You are just describing yourself, Sir.

♥ 10:51am Doug Schulkind:

As I am putting the radio show together on the fly, I will group together different tracks into sets and give the sets a name for no good reason. The name of this two-song set is "Experi Mental."

♥ 10:53am Doug Schulkind:

Just learned that all-time great jazz drummer Al Harewood has died. R.I.P. Mr. Harewood.

🥁

♥ 10:55am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug & fellow coves. Is everyone in a post marathon malaise? If so, no answers are expected.

🥁

♥ 10:55am Uncle Michael:

Actor Dorian's father, yes?

🥁

♥ 10:56am listener james from westwood:

I'm actually fairly exhilarated post-Marathon. Esp. w/ the 100%!

🥁

♥ 10:57am Brian in UK:

$25000 over so far.

♥ 10:58am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
Not that I am aware of. Could be!

🥁

♥ 10:59am Brian in UK:

You know, The Handsome Family are getting to be just that, year by year.

🥁

♥ 11:00am Uncle Michael:

Nope...I'm wrong.

11:00am Cecile:

Brian, I am actually in a post Daylight Savings Time stupor

🥁

♥ 11:01am listener james from westwood:

Damn. I'd heard it had kept creeping up, but that's a nice buffer.
Liking the Karen Studies. "Cruelty" esp. rewards headphones.

🥁

♥ 11:01am listener james from westwood:

@Cecile, same here. It takes me 2 weeks to adapt. Maybe spending the next week and change in the Pacific timezone will help.

11:02am still b/p:

My head-cocked-like-a-confused-dog musical moment in Cape Town a few years ago: detetrmined to find some good local music, went to a busy downtown scene and into a place (that might've been recommended by native tour guide). Stepped inside and heard a vocalist delivering "Time To Say Goodbye" acapella.

♥ 11:02am Doug Schulkind:

HOLY WOWZA!
Listener James's mention of 100% sparked a thought that I should check to see if anyone new had pledged to Give the Drummer Some since this past Tuesday's show. When last I looked, the show was sitting at a respectable 84% of a very ambitious goal.

Well...

INDEED MORE HAVE PLEDGED. TWO MORE PLEDGES, ONE FROM SARAH IN BURNABY (CANADA) AND ANOTHER FROM JOE IN BEVERLY HILLS HAVE PUT give the drummer some OVER 100%.

AMAZING! ASTONISHING! EXHILARATING!

I really am at a loss to express my gratitude.

Thank you so so much.

11:04am Cecile:

Doug you always surprise me with your choices!

♥ 11:05am Doug Schulkind:

Oh Cecile, you say the nicest things.

11:08am Van in DC:

Wow, that is awesomely great news Doug!

♥ 11:08am Santos L Halper:

Thanks for this Doug! Another side of MV/EE that i didn't know...

11:09am Van in DC:

(raises PI(nt) to toast Sarah & Joe)

♥ 11:09am joe:

'ello folks

11:09am Lewis:

better late than never! = Greetings Drummer Some folks - and give yourself a nice pat on the back for a marathon well met!

🥁

♥ 11:10am Uncle Michael:

Hello, Joe. Whatya know?

🥁

♥ 11:10am listener james from westwood:

Nicely done, Sarah & Joe! Congrats, Doug!

♥ 11:10am Doug Schulkind:

Yay, Joe! Yahooey, Lewis!

🥁

♥ 11:10am listener james from westwood:

'ello, Joe and Lewis!

11:12am Cecile:

I was also beyond thrilled see Fabio post 100%

♥ 11:13am Santos L Halper:

OK this sounds like them; maybe that was the previous piece...both good.

♥ 11:13am Carmichael:

Is this the schmoozefest?? Hiya Doug and everyone. I love you all.

♥ 11:14am joe:

Well Uncle Michael I know that a bit of Drummer in my headphones is a wonderful remedy for the chatter (for which I have lost all tolerance for :) ) that is taking place around me in the office

♥ 11:14am Doug Schulkind:

The Fabio/Clay Pigeon tag team is getting to take on epic proportions.

Woohoo, Carmichael!

11:14am ndbob:

that's great Doug!

🥁

♥ 11:17am Andrew Waterloo:

A little part of me wanted to see the station reach 100% just to prove that it was so much more than the Best Show, also that there were a lot of different reasons Tom got such big numbers.

11:19am Lewis:

@Andrew Waterloo - well said!

♥ 11:20am joe:

@Andrew I had that little piece of wanting to being able to prove what I already knew which was that the station was not a one trick pony, and to prove that even more I think this is one of the lower years that JM in the AM had too.

11:21am Van in DC:

@joe 11:14 - exactly!! Thank GOD for WFMU and GTDR and my headphones in order to drown out the endless BS sessions in my cubicleland!

♥ 11:21am joe:

@doug oh my god Doug Fabio/Clay is one of the greatest natural radio things to ever happen. What a story of accidental comic book chemistry.

🥁

♥ 11:22am listener james from westwood:

Van, I understand completely. WFMU has kept me out of jail in that respect.

♥ 11:23am Doug Schulkind:

Tom and the Best Show's contribution to the universe of WFMU lovers has been magnificent. But you're right. For the station to thrive in the shadow of losing Tom's program is monumental, both symbolically and financially.

♥ 11:25am joe:

Yeah no disrespect to Tom he is one of the hardest working men I have ever encountered and I say that with not being a fan of his show, but I will never take away what a wonderful person he is and how much he bled and sweat for his show.

♥ 11:29am Doug Schulkind:

The Fabio/Clay Pigeon pairing is purely the accident of having CP's show follow Fabio's when it first hit the FMU airwaves. It's fun to try to imagine the other possible happy accidents if Clay Pigeon had entered the schedule on a different day/time.

Tom Scharpling earned his popularity one listener at time. He absolutely wrote the book on how to reach through the medium to connect with listeners and invite them to participate in a collaborative experience. He has been an absolute inspiration to me as I try to grow and evolve Give the Drummer Radio. I don't have .05% of the charisma and guts that he has, but even just a little effort in this direction can transform the experience—on both sides of the radio show experience. Tom deserves every ounce of success he's got coming to him.

11:30am Cecile:

Joe, ITA about Fabio and Clay. Natural hilarity ensues.

♥ 11:31am Doug Schulkind:

Be careful, I may say "experience" three or four more times in the this commenting... experience.

🥁

♥ 11:31am listener james from westwood:

I can't wait for the next album from The Doug Schulkind Experience.

♥ 11:32am Doug Schulkind:

This band playing now is actually Ornette Coleman's quintet. Must have been for contractual reasons that the LP was issued under Paul Bley's name.

11:32am Van in DC:

Was it a big hit when Steinski left? Were there similar misgivings about upcoming marathons? That was all way before my time, so just asking.

🥁

♥ 11:32am listener james from westwood:

And excellent points about Tom's show, all. He was on a bit late for me to catch all 3 hours each week, but those archives are the sort of gold that makes real gold look like lead.

♥ 11:36am joe:

This is a great set Doug thank you

♥ 11:36am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Stay tuned for Uncle Michael and Hinky DInky Time, up next here on the stream. Playlist page here: wfmu.org...

@Van
Steinski's show never had the following Tom S. has created. It was only on for a year here and there and I'm not sure it was ever on during a marathon until I re-ran the show on the stream last year.

11:37am Cecile:

I think people had a wake up call when Scharpling left and really took it on themselves to really earnestly fundraise on air. I've never heard Bryce speak so much!

♥ 11:37am Doug Schulkind:

For many years, the Jewish music and information show, JM in the AM, which airs on terrestrial WFMU, 6-9am every weekday, brought in 1/3 of WFMU's overall take during the marathon. But that number his slipped from that lofty mark over the years.

11:38am Cecile:

Of course the first week, I kept writing, "Bryce, talk now" on the board.

11:39am Van in DC:

Works calls...gotta run, thanks Doug!

♥ 11:39am Carmichael:

Steinski's product was just staggering. The toil and diligence he must have put into each episode probably shocked all the other deejays. Each episode is a friggin' work of art.

🥁

♥ 11:40am Jeff Golick:

Hi again.

Another sad drummer coda to relate, belatedly: I found out this week that the drummer Dick Berk passed away last month. He played on Ted Curson's Tears for Dolphy.

11:41am Cecile:

Has the listenership declined for JM, Doug?

🥁

♥ 11:42am listener james from westwood:

I hadn't realized that there's a whole program week on a dedicated JM stream now, too. Good to see Nachum and associates have found some room in the infinite space of the stream to grow, as GTDR has.

♥ 11:43am Santos L Halper:

Congrats on your goal Doug and thanks for a great show! Also appreciated was your info on the archival marathon footage; you should record a commentary track or some subtitles for that!

🥁

♥ 11:43am listener james from westwood:

@Carmichael: True that. All that was manually compiled and edited. Doug, did you once cite a 20-hour prep figure for a single-hour Steinski show, or am I dreaming?

♥ 11:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Cecile
I don't think the JM in the AM listenership has declined, but it has gotten older and has not expanded with the Internet the way the freeform side of WFMU has.

@Santos L. Halper
It was great fun watching those old WFMU marathon videos. I'd never seen them before. I watched the with my 13-year-old daughter whose jaw was on the floor the whole time. She recognized me before I did. THAT'S YOU WITH THE MARACAS, she screamed!

Yes, Steinski spent at least 20 hours producing each 1-hour show. I heard Clay Pigeon say the same thing about his program during the marathon! The shows with man-on-the-street interview segments take a huge amount of production work. Totally awesome.

Join me!

🥁

♥ 11:48am Uncle Michael:

I yelled the same thing when I saw the maracas.

♥ 11:48am Doug Schulkind:

Heh heh! I finally beat you to it Uncle Michael!

11:49am Cecile:

That kind of work to product ratio is why I never went into music production as a field.

♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind:

I think most people have that kind of reaction to maracas, frankly.

🥁

♥ 11:49am Andrew Waterloo:

The fun thing about Clay was that he described producing his show by basically sitting on his living room floor in front of double tape deck.

🥁

♥ 11:49am Uncle Michael:

I know...but I didn't want to get out of the habit.

11:51am ndbob:

excellent show Doug! - and an excellent chat as well

11:51am Lewis:

Clay's on the street stuff is *really good* and as I learn to to a bit of *digital* editing and learned he does it with tape, my jaw drops closer and closer to the floor. To say nothing of his ability to get people to talk (slight return to the transition with fabio).

🥁

♥ 11:51am Uncle Michael:

Just because the next show will suck...it doesn't mean the chat has to!

🥁

♥ 11:53am listener james from westwood:

Oh, pshaw on the suckage. Even those speakers are shaking in anticipation over there.

♥ 11:53am Ike:

Only catching the last few min., but looks like v. interesting comments here & cool sounds. And Doug, you are very charismatic IMHO.

11:53am Lewis:

@not to worry @UM - I will follow you to Topeka with only a slight interruption as I start and stop the stream to fix the stuttering that seems to ensue when we move from Pittsburgh to Kansas (aint technology grand!)

🥁

♥ 11:54am Uncle Michael:

so grand!

♥ 11:55am Doug Schulkind:

I spent about 30 hours editing out the clicks and pops on the tracks on my marathon premium. When I listened back to the masters, it sounded like I'd never touched them. Sigh. In my mind's ear, I know they sound better.

Hi Ike! Asthmatic, maybe...

🥁 ♥ 11:55am duke:

Thank you for another great show!

🥁

♥ 11:55am listener james from westwood:

Loved loved loved the show, Doug!

🥁

♥ 11:55am Artie:

Groovy wibble warble on this one.

♥ 11:56am Doug Schulkind:

OMG, I will not get to fit in one last BURNER from Ghana at the end. You will have to tune in next Friday to hear it!

Loved, loved, loved doing the show. More than I could ever say.

🥁

♥ 11:56am Jeff Golick:

Superb-o, el-Doug-o!

♥ 11:56am Carmichael:

I used to do radio production back in the pre-digital days. Tape Splicer was pretty much my job title.

11:56am Cecile:

I did a lot of tape splicing back in the day. Crazy.

♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Gimmee a razor blade and some editing tape, Carmichael & Cecile, any day.

11:57am Cecile:

Later all ya'll

Hope to catch you next week.

🥁

♥ 11:58am Uncle Michael:

Great show today, Doug.

♥ 11:59am Ike:

If JM was a little low this yr., it was prob. because Limbaugh did not pledge this year.

♥ 11:59am Carmichael:

And sticky tape!

🥁

♥ 12:01pm Artie:

Razor blades and that little divoted fine metal cutting block. Straight or angled? I was angled.
