Heya Doug -- I never wake up early enough for the Friday show, but this is a fine consolation prize.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:12pm Doug Schulkind:

There is no archive for a good night's sleep, pacific standard simon.
  6:13pm Dean:

I'm up early enough for the Friday show, but, uh, my kids aren't.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:15pm pacific standard simon:

The people at work think I have fabulous taste in, and knowledge of, music. I owe it all to WFMU.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:15pm Doug Schulkind:

Wake them up, Dean! Do it for the children!

The new job has shifted my hours later. Don't get off til at least midnight, and seldom wake before 11am.

Oh the pants are off, @pss. In a few hours, I've fully regressed. There are chicken bones on my desk as I type this...

Holy hot damn, those cuts. And we've half a show to go!
  6:26pm Dean:

With colleagues like that, who needs...?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:29pm Doug Schulkind:

You know you're a baddass when you name the song after yourself. I'm looking at you, Mangue Konde.
  6:29pm Jeff g.:

(Hot tip re D:O Radio tmw: we're starting the show with Terry Riley, rather than using the last hour to feature him, as we've done previously.)
Avatar 6:30pm still b/p:

A local African art museum is closing its space and will make its collection available digitally instead of as in-person experience. I wonder if some stroker of chin and more would say something like this: in its transmission of culture and its fetishistic functions, the African sculpture tradition was the internet of its day. But whoever says that....don't let 'em in here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

Terry Riley? In! See!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:32pm Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
That's not a comment, it's a masters thesis.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:32pm Doug Schulkind:

What's for dinner, Listener James? I'm starving!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:34pm pacific standard simon:

Not lion meat, I hope.
Avatar 6:35pm Carmichael:

Starting the show with Baba O'Riley? My Meher hurts.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:36pm Doug Schulkind:

It beats Billy O'Reilly, Carmichael.
Avatar 6:36pm still b/p:

Lion jokes must Cecil and desist!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:39pm pacific standard simon:

A Vietnamese market in my old SF neighborhood once reversed the vowels in the label for the loin in their butcher case. Hilarity ensued.

The only hunter you'll get on GTDS is Alberta Hunter.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:41pm listener james from westwood:

@Doug: I got all sophistimacated over the weekend and cooked a mess of food ahead of a busy week. Tonight was sweet potato, Brussels sprouts, and brown rice, the last of which I fried up w/ minced shallots, garlic, and a bit of teriyaki sauce.

I am learning, in digging into Burkina Faso tonight, that shea nuts, and the butter they produce, are quite an important product in the country. Though perhaps not as peppy a product as its music.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:49pm Uncle Michael:

What's the new gig, Simon?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:49pm Doug Schulkind:

Shea Stadium nuts are a whole different thing, Listener James?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:49pm Doug Schulkind:

Hey everybody, it's Uncle Michael!
  6:50pm Jeff g.:

Since lyrics are pretty much the last thing I recognize in any piece of music, I love listening to singing in languages other than English. I can go by sound, instead of messing with literal meaning.
Avatar 6:51pm Carmichael:

Just like Damo Suzuki, Jeff!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:51pm Uncle Michael:

"Installing update 182 of 218..."

I'm not making that up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:51pm Doug Schulkind:

I didn't really read your comment, Jeff G. I just hummed it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:52pm pacific standard simon:

@Uncle Michael - Just switched bakeries, same town.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:54pm Uncle Michael:

Working with good people?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:55pm Doug Schulkind:

Working with food people.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:56pm pacific standard simon:

Always. I miss the old crew, but bakers are usually pretty good people.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

I may just be saving the best cut for last. Maybe not the FUNKiest. Maybe not the GROOViest. But sweet and infectious and miraculous.
  6:57pm Henny:

Same dough?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:57pm Uncle Michael:

Glad to hear it.

@Henny
D'oh!

Is the game going to get rained out again tonight in Pittsburgh, Doug?
Avatar 6:58pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:59pm pacific standard simon:

I had a sculpture instructor who used to greet me with the same joke every week: "Still rolling in dough?"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:59pm Doug Schulkind:

Hahaha, I fooled you. It is the grooviest and funkiest!

Thanks, ndbob!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 6:59pm Uncle Michael:

Did he get a rise out of you?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:00pm pacific standard simon:

It started to fall flat after a while.
Avatar 7:00pm still b/p:

Back at him: "You still a chiseler?"
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 7:01pm Uncle Michael:

Puns are the yeast of your worries.
