Greetings, Xapno!

🥁

♥ 8:31am Brian in UK:

Drummer Stream, delivering quality music.

🥁

♥ 8:31am Uncle Michael:

If Ronnie Cox had never jammed wit that kid...

♥ 8:37am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
For only an additional 15% "service fee."

@Uncle Michael
That kid was a novice actor named Billy Redden. Not a banjo player and not "on the spectrum."

🥁

♥ 8:38am Uncle Michael:

We're all on the spectrum, if you ask me.

♥ 8:39am Doug Schulkind:

Old Philadelphia 76ers fans used to be in the Spectrum.

🥁

♥ 8:39am Uncle Michael:

I love this Devo track.

🥁

♥ 8:40am Brian in UK:

Doug, just looking at ISPs for the area we hope to move to. Watch the small print.

🥁

♥ 8:40am Uncle Michael:

Psychedelic Woman is The Girl You Want. I've always felt that way.

🥁

♥ 8:47am doctorjazz:

Busy board before the show! Hey, all!

♥ 8:48am annie:

good morning all!! ready for the tunes.

🥁

♥ 8:48am listener james from westwood:

Morning, Doug and all ye drummers! I brought a few logs for the fire. ::shivers::

♥ 8:51am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, doc! annie!, LJFW! It's a balmy 14°F here at the moment.

🥁

♥ 8:59am listener james from westwood:

I can't believe it's actually colder here at 12°! But this is a competition nobody really wants to win.

9:00am Listener Gregory:

Up with the jackhammers today. When I get mad at their noise, I consider that at least I'm not outside with the workers.

9:01am Listener Robert:

Official opening, huh?

♥ 9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Our cold is your cold about 18 hours later. Someone told me it's going 0°F zero this weekend.

🥁

♥ 9:01am Sem:

Heigh ho, heigh ho, into Schulkind land we go!

Hello, Doug, and the Some.

♥ 9:02am Doug Schulkind:

Hallo, Listeners Gregory and Robert!!

♥ 9:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Sem
It's like an scene from Willy Wonka, without the chocolate.

9:04am Listener Robert:

I've got some chocolate: Hanuka gelt brought to me last month, ironically for a pagan event I hosted.

9:05am Mr C:

I saw Joe Tex, Billy Stewart, Peggy Scott& Jo Jo Benson and Jr Walker at the Spectrum right after it opened. Billy Cunningham and Doug Collins too..It's Philly Freeze time!

🥁

♥ 9:08am doctorjazz:

Lovely Fairport! Watta voice!

🥁

♥ 9:08am Brian in UK:

I think Jack Tarr the Sailor would have something to say about this.

♥ 9:09am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, Mr C! Billy Stewart, ah, Billy Stewart!

@Listener Robert
If you gotta be pagan, be ironically pagan.

🥁

♥ 9:09am Sem:

Pagen Doctor Benway! Is Dr. Benway in the house?

♥ 9:10am Webhamster Henry:

Hi Doug! Billy Redden had a banjo playing cameo in the "Town Of Spectre" scene of "Big Fish"
www.youtube.com...

♥ 9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome aboard, Webhamster Henry! I can't play that video without it going airborne.

♥ 9:13am Doug Schulkind:

I attended the film The Shape of Water last evening. I, too, am smitten with the sea monster.

9:15am Listener Gregory:

This is the version without Swarb? If I heard the version WITH Sward would I then know what that is?

♥ 9:15am annie:

i loved that movie... it was mesmerizing

♥ 9:15am Doug Schulkind:

@doctorjazz
If you love Sandy Denny's voice (and who doesn't), you will swoon over our next "voice." Owned by my first musical crush ever...

♥ 9:16am Stanley:

This show brings joy to the heart (beleaguered or otherwise)
Here's to you Doug and esteemed Listeners!

♥ 9:16am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Swarb = Dave Swarbrick (on electric violin on the Unhalfbricking version)

♥ 9:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
Brining joy to hearts is my business in trade. I've got a wheelbarrow full of joy, ready to dump!

🥁

♥ 9:17am Brian in UK:

Doug, is this the album with the cover has her kind of looking like Alphons Mucha's Princess Hyacinth?
www.posterlounge.co.uk...

🥁

♥ 9:19am Brian in UK:

Doug, joy is best about one year old before spreading. Just saying. No good if it is still steaming.

♥ 9:20am Doug Schulkind:

That's so funny. Alphons Mucha's Princess Hyacinth was my nickname in high school.

🥁

♥ 9:20am Brian in UK:

Pray silence for A Maddy moment.

♥ 9:21am Doug Schulkind:

I always age my joy. I hang it in the shoppe window until it starts to get rank.

♥ 9:22am Doug Schulkind:

No greyhounds were actually slain in the making of this ditty.

9:22am Listener Gregory:

Hearing the Swarb in full now.

♥ 9:24am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
Peter Knight is on fiddle here. Still no Swarb!

🥁

♥ 9:24am Uncle Michael:

Our forecast for New Year's Eve:

tinyurl.com...

♥ 9:25am Doug Schulkind:

I am married to Jessie, but my 12-year-old heart belongs to Madelaine Edith "Maddy" Prior.

♥ 9:27am Doug Schulkind:

No Swarb here either, Listener Gregory. Sorries!

🥁

♥ 9:27am Brian in UK:

I fear Lindisfarne would be regarded as too modern in outlook for this set. Though Alan Hull was a songwriter of the first water.

9:28am Listener Gregory:

This is your worst set yet, Doug, when it comes to Swarbing.

9:29am Listener Gregory:

I hope I may speak frankly.

♥ 9:29am Doug Schulkind:

I'm wearing my big deejay pants, Gregory. Let me have it.

🥁

♥ 9:30am Brian in UK:

Swarbing, is that rolling along in a big transparent ball.

🥁

♥ 9:31am Brian in UK:

Whilst playing the fiddle ofcourse.

♥ 9:31am Doug Schulkind:

Swarb the decks, matey!

9:34am thedunkel:

Good morning mobiliy Mr. Drummer! My daughter is digging today’s breakfast of sound.

♥ 9:35am Stevel:

Good morning from iceland, which is most of where we all live lately.

♥ 9:36am Stevel:

The birds were too cold to swarble this morning.

♥ 9:36am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, frozen friends thedunkel and Stevel!

♥ 9:40am Stevel:

Shouldn't complain. Its already up to 13 f. Heading out to catch some rays soon.

♥ 9:44am Doug Schulkind:

Go ahead and complain, Stevel. It might warm you up.

9:44am still b/p:

Good -5 morning from northeastiest US, folks of the same chillage.

♥ 9:47am Doug Schulkind:

Hell(o) there, Chill b/p!

♥ 9:47am Stevel:

Doug S: Truly, you are the wise leader we seek in these troubled times.

9:49am still b/p:

The Miss America organization is seeking new leadership. Doug! Doug! Doug!

♥ 9:49am Doug Schulkind:

I'll do it as long as my union boss says it's okay.

🥁

♥ 9:50am Brian in UK:

Wonder who will Miss Great Britain after Brexit.

🥁

♥ 9:56am listener james from westwood:

These covers/inspired-by tracks are great!

♥ 9:56am Doug Schulkind:

Well, there's your answer, Brian.

♥ 9:58am Listener Scott:

Na-na na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

♥ 10:00am Listener Scott:

"Bout a hundred cops died" in the making of that cover.

10:04am Jeff g.:

Hi! Just back from a park outing with the dog. Tundra is fun-dra.

Howdy, Doug. Hope you and all listeners are warm and dry.

10:05am Cecile:

Guten Tag, alles!

♥ 10:05am Stanley:

The Jaxyson Records Story didn't last long, then.

♥ 10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Stuttgart Arkansas:

INTRO

I'm gonna leave old Memphis, Stuttgart, Arkansas
I'm gonna leave old Memphis, Stuttgart, Arkansas
Man, the bad-lookin' women, man, you ever saw

Well, you seen that little old woman, walkin' down the street
Ask her what the matter, man, know she been drinkin' heat
I'm gonna leave old Memphis, Stuttgart, Arkansas
Man these bad-lookin' women, man, you ever saw

Well, she hit the policeman, knocked him off his feet
"What's wrong with you gal?" "I been drinkin' heat."
I'm gonna leave old Memphis, Stuttgart, Arkansas
Man, these bad-lookin' women, man, you ever saw

SOLO

Well, I've got me a little old woman, right down on the ground
Every time I kiss her, man, have a face all full of frowns
I'm gonna leave old Memphis, Stuttgart, Arkansas
Man, these bad-lookin' women, man, you ever saw

Well, I went down to my bossman, fell down on my knees
"Don't want nothin' crippled but my good gal back to me."
I'm gonna leave old Memphis, Stuttgart, Arkansas
Man, these bad-lookin' women, man, you ever saw

♥ 10:07am Doug Schulkind:

Listener Scott! Jeff G! Cecile!

♥ 10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Walter Miller's nickname was "Hopalong."

10:10am Jeff g.:

I would not date this as late sixties, early seventies, in a blindfold test.

♥ 10:10am Doug Schulkind:

@Stanley
We dig short stories here on the radio show.

♥ 10:10am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff G
I have at least one source that dates this to 1967.

♥ 10:11am Doug Schulkind:

Next up and EPIC performance by the genius Robert Pete Williams. 15 minutes and 36 blessed seconds.

🥁

♥ 10:12am Brian in UK:

Hopalong and he 'Don't want nothin' crippled'

♥ 10:13am Doug Schulkind:

This Robert Pete recording is from a live date in Munich, 1972. (A tough year to be in Munich. come to think of it.)

♥ 10:13am Stanley:

Just what I was thinking, Brian

♥ 10:13am Doug Schulkind:

The "Angola" being spoken of here is Angola State Penitentiary in Louisiana.

🥁

♥ 10:14am Brian in UK:

Angola Bound.

10:15am Listener Gregory:

Following the jackhammers, a large "jet-vac" truck has started to work, in order to enhance my GTDS listening experience.

🥁

♥ 10:16am Brian in UK:

Wonder if Suger Farm has any relation to Sugar Ditch.

♥ 10:18am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
In your honor, my next music bed selection will feature a piledriver.

10:19am Jeff g.:

Creating art out of brutality is the very definition of grace.

🥁

♥ 10:20am Brian in UK:

Doug, after my Hemorrhoid experiences, thanks a bunch.

10:20am Jeff g.:

(At least that's what it says on this embroidered pillow next to me.)

10:20am Listener Gregory:

Yes, but adding brutality to cover art is the very definition of... uh... brutality?

♥ 10:20am Doug Schulkind:

Creating legislation out of brutality is the very definition of... being a Republican

10:22am Listener Gregory:

I'm thinking of moving to Stuttgart, Arkansas. Move over, Sam Walton!

♥ 10:22am Stanley:

Brian, perhaps Jeff will lend you his pillow.

10:22am Jeff g.:

Concrete slabs are the very definition of Brutalism.

♥ 10:23am Doug Schulkind:

TMI, Brian in UK.

🥁

♥ 10:24am Brian in UK:

@Jeff g. Never understood Gnome Sweet Gnome. They always look like grumpy little buggers to me.

10:25am still b/p:

From an article I've only started reading, Why You Hate Contemporary Architecture: "Brutalism is the opposite of democracy: it means imposing on people something they hate, all for the sake some narrow and arbitrary formalistic conceptual scheme."
The author gives many further brutal punches to the movement/style.

10:25am DutchTheo:

(dutch) Goede morgen, wet snow and chilly in this part of the world nice to chill on Robert Pete Williams after work,

♥ 10:28am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, DutchTheo!

10:32am Listener Gregory:

RL's bad luck sounds like our good luck.

10:32am Dean:

The building where the architecture department resides at Berkeley has brutalist characteristics. It isn't *that* bad.

10:32am Cecile:

The Ex!

10:36am Mayuko:

Good morning, Doug and all!

10:37am Cecile:

Oh no.

10:38am Cecile:

Could you play some Lacy/Rudd?

🥁

♥ 10:40am JtotheK:

hello doug, hi everyone. (doug - the 'old man river' from last week was superb! i played it for relatives on Christmas.)

10:40am Jeff g.:

I think there are good examples of Brutalism out there, but these are outnumbered by the truly horrible ones, which can be pretty soul-crushing.i

♥ 10:41am Doug Schulkind:

Hi, Mayuko!!

@Cecile
I played Lacy/Rudd's indelible "Pannonica" from 1963 on last week's show...

@JtotheK
That is outstanding! Hello!

♥ 10:41am Doug Schulkind:

I love the sound of Roger Smith breathing on this track.

10:42am Cecile:

What's strange and kind of cool to me is that one of my most gender-fluid and creative Facebook friends loves Brutalism.

thanks! I was fortunate enough to see Roswell Rudd with Steve Lacy a couple of times in the early 00's. He brought a lot of fun and energy.

♥ 10:44am Doug Schulkind:

Ros and Steve are playing together, again, at last.

10:45am Dean:

Last week I mentioned I'd heard Lacy/Rudd's quartet at McCabe's. Get a load of the acts who have played there: https://www.mccabes.com/archive/ It's a guitar, etc., store, with folding chairs and a tiny stage, an ideal venue. About as anti-brutalist as you can get.

10:46am Cecile:

Exactly. With Mal Waldron on the ivories.

🥁

♥ 10:46am doctorjazz:

Phil and Quill, great soulful track.

10:46am Jeff g.:

Oh jealous of that, @Cecile. One thing I love about Rudd - his embrace of the New Thing always included his love of "the Tradition." There was no break with the past; he took it all in, and celebrated it all.

10:47am Cecile:

He came across as your tie-dyed hippie uncle who knew more about punk and moshed harder than you did. Cool cat.

♥ 10:48am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
I have a number a live recordings made from performances at McCabe's. One is by Townes Van Zandt, if I am remembering correctly.

10:48am Cecile:

I mean if I or anyone had an uncle like that...

10:49am still b/p:

Brutalism surely has its passionate fans, pleaders and preservationists, while its enemies have big, rant-ready,aggrieved ANGER.

10:50am Dean:

TVZ released a live at McCabe's record from near the end of his life. Despite his declining voice, it's a keeper.

♥ 10:51am Doug Schulkind:

The GTDS comments board is a most erudite crowd! Can't wait until you all transition effortlessly from Brutalism to beer.

10:51am Dean:

...to ballet.

♥ 10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Yeah, I gots that one, Dean.

10:52am Jeff g.:

...to fart jokes.

10:52am Cecile:

I made a ridiculously good Christmas pot roast with some 612 Brew The Outfit Oatmeal Porter.

10:53am Dean:

Always wanted to form a Silent But Deadly Mime Troupe.

10:54am Cecile:

Also, for my crew, figure about 2:1 vegetable to meat ratio.

10:55am Dean:

Root veggies? Would love to see a recipe, @Cecile.

♥ 10:55am Doug Schulkind:

Brewtalism?

10:55am still b/p:

Sure business winner: Brutalist Brewpub!

10:56am Dean:

You know, so-called craft brewers these days are all about dorky trademark puns. I'm surprised I haven't seen a beer dubbed Brewtal.

10:57am Dean:

...or Brood.

🥁

♥ 10:58am Brian in UK:

@Dean, just called it Spencer the Beagle for SBD effects.

11:01am Cecile:

I just made it up, but here's how I did it.

Brown pot roast on both sides. Put a few slices of onion and a whole celery stalk in. Put chopped garlic, salt and pepper on one side of roast. Flip over, repeat. Pour beer and chicken stock to BARELY cover. Add a dash of Worchestershire sauce. Cook for 1 hour, flipping once. Remove veggies if you want. Put in lots of potatoes, onion slices, carrots, whatever. Really pack 'em in. Bring to boil. Let go another 1 - 1.5 hours, flipping once. Add liguid if necessary. When tender, remove everything. Let roast stand and slice. Cook down the sauce a little. Thicken if you want to (I didn't). Taste and correct seasonsing. Put everything back in until warmed. Then eat.

♥ 11:03am Doug Schulkind:

This line got really caught my attention: "When tender, remove everything."

11:03am Dean:

Now I'm hungry(er).

11:03am Cecile:

Oh, put the post roast and liquid on high heat the beginning. and reduce to low heat when it simmers. This is a stovetop recipe. You could start it on the stove and finish it in the oven.

🥁

♥ 11:04am JtotheK:

@beer talk - i have been enjoying the sierra nevada celebration ale.

11:04am Cecile:

Dean Kvlt Brewery in Colorado must have used those puns at some time.

11:05am Cecile:

Doug, I guess my study of German grammar is affecting my English.

♥ 11:06am Doug Schulkind:

I had a German grammar, too. Actually, she was Hungaro-Prussian.

🥁

♥ 11:07am Brian in UK:

Craft beer my arse.
You need go no further....
www.threetunsbrewery.co.uk...

11:07am still b/p:

I have a box of bran flakes and a package of raisins. I put some of each together in one bowl for breakfast today. As close as I get to "making" something.

11:07am Cecile:

We just killed our last Brickside Brewery Blackout Porter from this summer. Copper Harbor MI punches way above its weight class when it comes to beer.

hahah, Doug.

11:08am Cecile:

We are a young country, Brian. Be kind. :D

11:09am Dean:

"Refreshingly light and hoppy with hints of elderflower."

🥁

♥ 11:09am Brian in UK:

Ofcourse Cecile no insult intended. We have this craft beer malarkey over here too.

🥁

♥ 11:10am Brian in UK:

Did you notice what they listen to whilst brewing?

🥁

♥ 11:10am Uncle Michael:

I will.

11:10am Cecile:

Brian, I would prefer that we would just stop calling it craft beer and call it beer.

🥁

♥ 11:11am Brian in UK:

With you there, Cecile. Bit like the word hipsters. They were trousers in my youth.

11:11am still b/p:

The wave and appetite ain't waning. When another brewery and tasting room opens up around here, there's a thirsty crush and a sellout. Some prized releases draw long early lines.

11:11am Dean:

10CC, The Fall...

Artisinal, schmartisinal

11:13am Dean:

More or less walking distance from our digs, a beer garden, four breweries (one exclusively sours), a Sierra Nevada tasting room, a tap room, and another brewery under construction.

🥁

♥ 11:13am Brian in UK:

Dean they need a Freeform station. Have to get to work as I hope to be living about fifteen miles from the brewery soon.

11:14am Cecile:

We have two distilleries, six breweries and a cider house.

🥁

♥ 11:15am Brian in UK:

The USA is tops for microbrewers right now. Who thought I would ever write that.

11:15am Cecile:

I never thought you would, either.

This is the jam, Doug.

♥ 11:15am Doug Schulkind:

I myself had a couple of Spruce IPAs from Alaskan Brewing last evening. I found it a bit watery, but pleasantly bitter.

🥁

♥ 11:16am Brian in UK:

Robert Plant playing in the adjoining pub with the Priory of Brion once.

11:17am Cecile:

wow.

♥ 11:17am Doug Schulkind:

Brion of UK?

🥁

♥ 11:17am Uncle Michael:

The Life of Brion.

♥ 11:17am Stanley:

What, I'm missing the beer talk?

11:17am Dean:

Oh, yeah, forgot that my neighbor's distillery is in Oakland.

And the auto repair shop around the corner services Duane Allman's daughter's car. I mean, how hip can you get?

11:17am still b/p:

However precious the new niches and angles might be sometimes, we are lucky in these times. Let us say the giant commercial brewers are like Mr. Potter, and George Bailey pleads with townsfolk not to let Potter dominate: "Joe, you drank those beers, didn't you? Well, have you forgotten?"

11:18am Cecile:

My neighbor gave me a Sam Adams Xmas sampler with the prized Chocolate Bock in it.

11:18am DutchTheo:

i live on walking (rolling) distance from the only dutch trappist monk brewery

11:19am Cecile:

damn, Theo. The Trappists are the Shao-lin temple of beer brewing.

11:20am Cecile:

The 36 Chambers of Saison.

🥁

♥ 11:20am Brian in UK:

....and the most wonderful thing the author is American and not white.
www.oxfordreference.com...

11:20am still b/p:

"When you can snatch the Dubbel from my hand..."

♥ 11:21am Stanley:

I'm with you still b/p. I remember not so long ago when the scene was just tasteless pap put out by the brewing giants. And balls to the hipster tag. We can't help it if the effing hipsters have caught onto it. They'll be gone soon enough onto the next fad/haircut and us beer drinkers will still be here.

♥ 11:21am Doug Schulkind:

This Hamad Kalkaba has got me a bit tipsy.

11:22am Cecile:

oh, the Brooklyn Brewery is great!

I loved it back in the day when Tribe Called Quest rapped about getting a Guinness.

11:23am Cecile:

"A pint of Guinness and an apple juice" IIRC

11:23am Dean:

Meanwhile, @Brian in UK, the author of The Oxford Companion to Wine is British and female.

♥ 11:23am Doug Schulkind:

@Cecile
I would've bought a Guinness, but I left my wallet somewhere.

11:23am Cecile:

that's right Stanley. Good beer is here to stay, I believe.

11:24am Cecile:

in El Segundo?

11:24am DutchTheo:

Cecile; bring da ruckus as Carl Douglas says

11:24am Cecile:

hahah, right on Theo.

🥁

♥ 11:26am Brian in UK:

At one time in the mid Seventies there were four pubs brewing their own beer. One was the Three Tuns. It is one of those pints that does not touch the sides. Getting homesick for a place I do not live.

11:26am Cecile:

I'm getting homesick too.

🥁

♥ 11:27am Uncle Michael:

"does not touch the sides" eh wot?

♥ 11:27am Stanley:

Talking of which:
Pfffttt!
Cheers everyone
(Proteus IPA from Siren, England)

11:28am Cecile:

cheers, Stanley!

🥁

♥ 11:28am Brian in UK:

Bottoms up.

♥ 11:28am Stanley:

Brian - was Ma Pardoes one of them? That's beer you could render the house with.

🥁

♥ 11:31am Uncle Michael:

As we round the cape, let me remind you all that I'd be delighted with your company at the top of the hour.

www.wfmu.org...

11:31am still b/p:

1984, Jim Koch tells his dad he's leaving his corporate career to start a small beer brewing business. Dad says, "You've done some really stupid things in your life. This is the stupidest."
The company is Sam Adams.

🥁

♥ 11:31am Brian in UK:

The All Nations in Madeley. One in Priddy, Somerset and yes Ma Pardoes, The Old Swan in Dudley.

11:31am Cecile:

Uncle Michael, I will join you.

11:32am Cecile:

Uncle Michael, I will join you.

♥ 11:32am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
The other two Koch brothers did some far, far stupider things.

🥁

♥ 11:33am Brian in UK:

Said it before, if you get a chance go see these fellas.

♥ 11:33am Stanley:

Hahah!

11:33am still b/p:

A dollar's a dollar.

🥁

♥ 11:34am Brian in UK:

Stanley remember the Watneys joke.
How is drinking Watneys like making love in a punt?

11:35am Dean:

Is "does not touch the sides" the beer counterpart to wine's "has legs"?

Fucking close to water.

♥ 11:35am Stanley:

Dean beat me to it!

11:36am DutchTheo:

Sorry to make you jealous, as it is 17:30 over here i'm late for the friday afternoon drink, "vrijmibo", opening a Karmeliet triple, cheers!

🥁

♥ 11:36am Brian in UK:

Dean yes on both counts.

11:36am Cecile:

I raise my cup of coffee to you.

11:37am Dean:

A commenter here a few years ago turned me on to Karmeliet trippel. I still have the empty bottle in the cupboard, the label's so pretty.

11:37am Listener Gregory:

Speaking of Bach, WKCR has their annual all-Bach festival at 91.1 (NYC area) and wkcr.org. It's always worth tuning in from time to time (through tomorrow).

🥁

♥ 11:37am Brian in UK:

Dutch Theo, jealous, yes but glad for you.

11:38am Dean:

Speaking of bock...

🥁

♥ 11:38am Brian in UK:

Still have two small bottles of Thomas Hardy Ale in the cellar. Should be ready by now.

🥁

♥ 11:40am Brian in UK:

Dean, not touching the sides is also a bit like. I have a thirst you could photograph.

♥ 11:40am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener Gregory
We have had the WKCR Bach fest going round the clock here since Xmas eve. I love listening to my wife and daughter moan in unison, "Not another fucking harpsichord!"

11:40am Mr C:

No match for Walter IMO

11:40am still b/p:

Who woulda thought that checking ABV would become part of the social drinking-out experience? Have to pass on some nice stuff and interesting introductions because I have to drive, or just have to maintain.

♥ 11:41am Doug Schulkind:

This version of "Uphill Climb" is actually pretty awful. Compared to Walter Jackson's killer rendition...

🥁

♥ 11:41am Brian in UK:

Doug, did Bach write anything for the banjo?

11:41am Cecile:

still b/p, we check that along with the IBUs. Some of them are ridiculous!

♥ 11:41am Doug Schulkind:

Ah, I see Mr C is all over that tip!

11:42am Cecile:

I am not feeling this nor the Symphonics.

♥ 11:42am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Bach's concerto for Jew's harp is pretty, um, riveting.

11:43am Mr C:

Pick it up Doug..

♥ 11:43am Doug Schulkind:

This singer, George Lemons, was the son of the label owner. Need I say more?

11:43am Dean:

Yow, have to hunt down some of that Thomas Hardy Ale! "It will improve with age for up to 25 years."

What's wrong with fucking harpsichords? Often the issue isn't the instrument, but the recording.

No banjo, but he did write for lautenwerk, a lute-harpsichord.

🥁

♥ 11:43am Brian in UK:

I got him more as a soldering man. Never welding.

11:44am Cecile:

Yeah, Doug, the Kevin Federline of Detroit Soul.

♥ 11:44am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
Oh, there is some mighty harpsichord in this household. I find it endearing.

11:47am Listener Gregory:

"Free me" seemed haunted by the ghost of Phil Spector.

♥ 11:47am Stanley:

still b/p, you're so right. I've taken to calculating my abv intake during the evening, so I don't go into the danger zone!

11:47am sinner:

...if you cannot say a word, just wave your hand.....

11:47am Dean:

This is a shockingly good recording of harpsichord: https://www.discogs.com/Michel-Kiener-Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Goldberg-Variations/release/4535391

For entirely different reasons, so is this: https://www.discogs.com/Jukka-Tiensuu-Xenakis-Corrette-Soler-Saariaho-Sciarrino-The-Fantastic-Harpsichord/release/9550497

♥ 11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Mr. Sinnah!

🥁

♥ 11:48am Brian in UK:

Did Robert Knight pass away recently?

♥ 11:48am Stanley:

George Lemons - what a great name.

🥁

♥ 11:48am Brian in UK:

What is abv?

11:49am Dean:

alcohol by volume

♥ 11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Died 15 November, Brian.

♥ 11:50am Stanley:

Alcohol By Volume, or in other words, strength.

🥁

♥ 11:50am Brian in UK:

I thought specific gravity was good enough.

11:50am DutchTheo:

for the record november 5 Robert knight

♥ 11:51am northguineahills:

I got so wrapped up in work, I forgot to chime in.

Also, I got a new debit card, so how do I change the card I use for my monthly WFMU donations?

11:51am Dean:

Thomas Hardy Ale vintage '17 is 11.7%

11:52am still b/p:

I thought I might find some groovy harpsichord to recommend in "The Lurch" song, but there ain't. There is, however, speaking of specific gravity, some dancin' by the big butler himself in a cool period moment:

🥁

♥ 11:52am Brian in UK:

Thanks both. Everlasting Love was the big one over here.

@ngh talk to Joe McGasko.

♥ 11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Can we switch back to Brutalism for the last few minutes? I want us to look "smart" to the Hinky Dinky crowd.

♥ 11:53am Stanley:

Doug - that won't be difficult!

🥁

♥ 11:53am Uncle Michael:

Rooty Poots, be not fooled.

♥ 11:53am Doug Schulkind:

And speaking of Hinky Dinky Time, the very high-IQ host Uncle Michael will be conducting his lecture over here:

wfmu.org...

🥁

♥ 11:53am Brian in UK:

@still b/p Love's Stephanie Knows Who intro sounds like harpsichord.

🥁

♥ 11:54am Brian in UK:

Doug, with due respect if you want to look smart put some kecks on.

11:54am Dean:

PowerPoint works so much better over radio.

🥁

♥ 11:55am Brian in UK:

Doug cannot thank you enough for today and every show.
HAVE A PEACEFUL YEAR EVERYONE.

♥ 11:56am Doug Schulkind:

Our next and final track of the day has had me gobsmacked all week. It's like a lost Sondheim weeper.

🥁

♥ 11:56am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for drawing a crowd, Doug.

11:56am still b/p:

Brutalism means, like, a leaky roof, and, like, cold, you know, in both, like meanings...

🥁

♥ 11:56am Brian in UK:

kecks = trousers

♥ 11:56am Webhamster Henry:

So Doug, are you back to school next semester or sticking around in the mornings?

11:57am sinner:

All the copies of Honey Dove just sold on Discogs.

♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
Both. I have one more semester, but no Friday morning class!

♥ 11:57am Stanley:

Another stellar show.
Thanks Doug and a Happy New Year to you and your family.

11:57am Cecile:

Hurray!

♥ 11:57am Doug Schulkind:

@sinner
I need a piece of the reaction.

♥ 11:58am Webhamster Henry:

Great! Hear ya next year!

🥁

♥ 11:58am Jeff Golick:

This is kind of intense.

11:58am Listener Gregory:

Thanks for drowning out my jackhammers, Doug. They have given up and gone home in defeat.

♥ 11:58am northguineahills:

Have a super duper happy NY Doug!

11:58am DutchTheo:

Brutalism: Concrete jungle (jungle!): we've made it, We've got it.
In Concrete jungle (concrete jungle!), now. Eh!
Concrete jungle (jungle, jungle, jungle!).
What, what do you got for me (jungle, jungle!) now? [fadeout]

11:58am Cecile:

great closer, have a great NY, Doug, and all!

♥ 11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Same 2 U, NGH!

🥁

♥ 11:59am Jeff Golick:

Thanks, @Doug. HNY!

11:59am still b/p:

I heard Lin Manuel Miranda talking about encouragement and tips from Sondheim. Which was nice.
Thanks for morning warmth and wonders, Doug.
