WFMU RADIO: Give The Drummer Some 03/01/13

Listener comments!

🥁

8:33am duke:

Morning Doug and drummers. When I'm elected pope, that car will be my pope-mobile.

8:42am Doug Schulkind:

And you will ride around will reading your email on your Pop-mobile. Get it? Get it? Say it mo-BYLE. See? Funny!

8:44am glenn:

he'll be here all week, folks. try the buffet.

8:45am Van in DC:

If I owned that fine set of wheels I would gift it to The Drummer. Imagine GTDR blaring out of that, and it has room for all the show hosts on GTDR! Good morning Doug and peoples.

8:46am glenn:

all it needs is "further" painted on it, and a hatch on the roof.

8:50am glenn:

the paisley is strong on that row fisherman row blog site.

🥁

8:52am Brian in UK:

Doug, duke, glenn, Van & all who enter these portals. PINCH PUNCH FIRST OF THE MONTH. NO RETURNS.
Did you see how Beneduck escape like Blofeld in the 'copter.

🥁

8:53am duke:

If I'm elected Pope, I will grant full absolution for sins committed during the marathon to anyone who pledges.

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
I believe Row Fisherman Row is the reincarnation of the old African Gospel Church blog (this is its 7th or 8th reincarnation).

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

Duke for Pope!

8:55am Parq:

Just because.
www.youtube.com...

8:55am glenn:

what will your popely name be, duke?

8:56am Doug Schulkind:

Long live Freeformus XIII!

8:57am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone! .. and speaking of the Pope, did you know that Cardinal Turkson of Ghana - a leading candidate - used to play James Brown songs when he was in a Ghanaian funk band?

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Morning ndbob! As my Scottish friends would say, I dinna nae that!

🥁

9:00am duke:

Pope Duke the First. Doug will be appointed as archbishop of WFMU and the college of cardinal will be replaced by the folks on the FMU message board.

9:00am glenn:

(dinna ken)

9:01am Van in DC:

Aaaaand go!

9:01am Uncle Michael:

I can't believe I ate the whole thing.

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Vroom, vroooooom!

9:02am listener james from westwood:

morning all and happy friday! good pre-marathon mojo to you as well, doug! rough february but good to be back.

9:02am Van in DC:

What was the Top Gun saying? Time to kick the tires and light the fires!

9:03am ndbob:

The kind of music enjoyed by the young Cardinal Turkson was very different to the choral chanting of the Vatican. "We played in a band together - I was on drums, and he was on bass," recalled Mr Pawosey. "We'd play Afrobeat stuff in the 1960s – James Brown, that kind of thing. He liked James Brown a lot."

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
Blessed to have you back, my brother. Hope you and yours are a-OK.

Howdy, Uncle Michael! (After the marathon, let's yack.)

9:05am Uncle Michael:

I'm up for the yacking. Receptive to any and all entreaties.

9:05am earrie:

Good morning. I am raring for another Friday.

9:07am Uncle Michael:

I'm also up for the downstroke.

9:07am Van in DC:

The hood = WFMU Mothership / Studio P. The cabin = All GTDR DJs. The trunk is where all us listeners are stuffed in. The wheels is that internet thing. All fueled in the gas tank by our $$$

🥁

9:09am listener james from westwood:

many thanks, doug. we're getting there. mailed a stack of jack to the mothership this week and looking forward to playing the playlists like a slot machine.

9:09am Uncle Michael:

I want to sponsor curb feelers.

9:09am Uncle Michael:

And a diamond in the back.

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Hello earrlie! I hope you brought your friend (Other Earrie).

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
As the man said, Be Thankful for What You've Got.

9:11am Uncle Michael:

Sure...but I still need to see my chiropractor about this gangster lean.

9:11am still b/p:

...digging the green with a fanster lien...?
Good morning.

9:12am earrie:

I'm all ears

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Ahoy, still b/p!

9:13am Uncle Michael:

Serious Earrie. The early, more earnest work of Eric Carmen.

9:14am Doug Schulkind:

earrie, I'd like you to meet Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk!

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

OK, so this isn't "rap," exactly. So sue me. At least it's Brazilian.

9:17am Uncle Michael:

I hate the water.

9:17am still b/p:

Marathon time coinciding with no-job time. If I were closer I could do some pro bono topiary work at the FMU compound. Instead I'll have to see about maybe sending along the price of a few pints.

9:20am earrie:

Or a couple crappy lunches ?

9:20am Uncle Michael:

How about a pro bono Brazilian?

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
Despite all the shouting and bellowing, the Marathon has always been about quality, not quantity.

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

How about a Brazilian Sonny Bono?!

9:21am still b/p:

@ Uncle -- As long as the same tools will get 'er done.

9:23am G.W. Bush:

How many is a Brazilian?

9:23am Scott McDowell:

Good morning, Doug. Marathon train a-comin'!

9:24am Van in DC:

I wish I could pledge a Brazillion

9:24am Doug Schulkind:

Hoo-boy, Scott. We're in this together!

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

@G.W. Bush
Brazilians are the ones you didn't illegally invade. Nice!

9:29am Van in DC:

So apparently the pledge-o-meter does not work until the green flag drops Monday.

9:29am Uncle Michael:

I'm working on a spread sheet...trying to figure out how to distribute my love to a variety of DJs. It's reasonable to say that I have less than a Brazillion to play with.

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

The leader of this group. Salah Ahmed Ragab, is a drummer who jammed with Sun Ra during the Man from Saturn's visits to Egypt.

9:31am Doug Schulkind:

@Van in DC
The pledge thingy is accepting pledges now. It just doesn't reveal the contents until Monday. But I can say this...

THANK YOU VAN FOR GETTING THINGS STARTED!

9:32am Van in DC:

It might take a Brazillian to get that pledge-o-meter to move. I hear they code well.

9:32am Uncle Michael:

It's gonna take jumper cables to get the van started.

9:33am Paul Sherratt:

Good afternoon, morning all. I was once sent to the BBC messageboards sin-bin simply for saying, one April 1st morning, that I had just learned that Pope Bendedict XV was dead ...

Love the Popmobile !

9:38am ndbob:

It was minus 1 when i got up - the typical start to a North Dakota March

9:38am Uncle Michael:

Larry Tamblyn of the Standells just offered to give me an interview. It's a nice morning.

🥁

9:38am Brian in UK:

Snow drifts as high as a two storey building in northern Japan

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Paul Sherratt & Brian in UK! Did you know my wife and daughter are headed to London? Leaving 19 March for 5 days.

9:40am still b/p:

Russ Tamblyn's bro!

🥁

9:40am Brian in UK:

Hey Paul. Was that a bad thing.

9:41am ndbob:

That sounds great Michael!

9:43am northguineahills:

It's a balmy 42F/6C here in NYC.

9:43am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Speaking of two-storey snow drifts in Japan, check out the first photo in this blog post of mine from years ago: blog.wfmu.org...

9:44am Uncle Michael:

It was weird. I thought I was messaging John Fleckenstein through the Standells FB page and since John kind of knows who I am...it lead to Larry asking me if I wanted to do an interview. I didn't ask. I haven't done any interviews for a long time and I need to sort out how to best do a phoner into the digital realm.

9:44am still b/p:

Anyone ever seen Rebirth Brass Band? Playing locally Sunday.

9:44am Paul Sherratt:

Brian, yes ...
Doug, London is very well placed for visits to Watford !

9:44am Uncle Michael:

I have seen them.

9:45am earrie:

b/p I have. After the soundboard and other bands shut down for the night. It was late. It was fun.

🥁

9:45am Brian in UK:

We are going away to the High Peaks from 15th-22nd. (missing end of marafun) Do they need a native guide t'wards the end of their trip?

9:46am Paul Sherratt:

still b/p,
Yes, quite unforgettably, twenty odd years ago, in The Glass House, New Orleans.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

@B in UK
They will need no guide. Jessie is going for a conference. Their hotel is across the street from the British Musuem, where I daresay young Linc will spend countless hours.

9:48am Uncle Michael:

It hasn't lost it's charm.

9:48am still b/p:

Thanks for feedback.
I'd like to go...but, then again, should I pay the admission orrrrrrrrrrr give the money to who-know-F-M-whooooo?

9:50am earrie:

b/p I'd call that a false dichotomy.

🥁

9:51am Brian in UK:

Gotta walk the dawg catch yous later.

9:53am dcp:

late again! dang.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

@dcp
Better late than later! (Don't worry, I played all the crappy songs first.)

9:55am Uncle Michael:

He ain't lyin'.

9:55am dcp:

cool, thanks! I can see I'm just in time with Henry Grey

9:56am Uncle Michael:

I kid!

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Well shit! That Lyndon B MP3 is incomplete. Shit shit shit. (Hadn't listened all the way through. Just DL'd it yesterday.) Oh well.

10:09am ndbob:

@Doug speaking of LBJ you probably saw that Robert Caro just won the National Book Critics Circle Award

🥁

10:09am listener james from westwood:

it declined to run for a second term, is all.

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Absolutely! My hero.

@LJFW
Too funny.

10:12am Paul Sherratt:

Just took a phone call with radio volume up. Caller asked if I'd got a bunch of children there ? Wanted to say," no, it's The Arizona Dranes", but thought better of it !

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

Next time, Paul, just let me talk to them.

10:14am Uncle Michael:

I'd love to do a regular segment called "Oh my god...what is that?!" Where I call random people and try to guess what's on in the background.

10:17am dcp:

the mix of Doug's and Scott's shows together right now is amazing!

10:21am Andy S.:

Frank Wright! Saw him live once, in New Orleans during Jazz Fest -- early '90s, maybe? Weird gig in some out-of-the-way and long-forgotten venue had Sunny Murray on drums, who informed the audience that he was "as happy as a fee-a-zag in Boys Town!"

10:23am Hugo:

Polkas in Nancy are not like polkas elsewhere.

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

This record comes courtesy of....

Reverend Hugo of Bergen! Thank you Hugo!

10:28am ndbob:

another great name - Bertha Idaho

10:29am ndbob:

I once found an Arizona Dranes record - but it was too expensive

10:31am Uncle Michael:

Arizona Dranes photos are scarcer than Robert Johnson's.

10:31am Hugo:

You're very much welcome, Doug. Hoping you'll find time for Francois Tusques - Le Musichien one day. Both sides, but not necessarily in one go. If you don't have it, I'll send it. That one has become one of my faves.

10:32am Doug Schulkind:

@Hugo
I have procured a number of fantastic Tusques disques, thanks to you. Which one are you referring to?

10:41am Hugo:

Le Musichien, but also check out the one with the players from Bretagne - Apres la maree noire.

10:42am Uncle Michael:

Roger Thwaites' accent just gave him away.

10:46am Doug Schulkind:

Get yer Roger Thwaites here: smalltownpleasures.blogspot.com...

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

Actually, that Lyndon Johnson song got cut off because of the sequester.

10:47am Uncle Michael:

Thanks!

10:48am dcp:

Tripleplaylisting, eh?

10:48am Doug Schulkind:

dcp times three!

10:51am dcp:

hmm, suppose I could dig into some archives. I'm sort of against commenting in the past though.

10:53am earrie:

"commenting in the past"

'on' the past? Or. uh, what?

10:54am Uncle Michael:

I must say, apropos of nothing, that the 1992 and 2007 Stiff Records box sets are astonishingly divergent.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

@earrie
Either one. Whichever doesn't screw up the time/space continuum. Too much.

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

The next track is called "When a Woman Loves Her XXXX" Guess the missing word.

11:01am Uncle Michael:

How many syllables?

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

I'm not helping.

🥁

11:02am duke:

The wikipedia article on Buddy Colette is pretty interesting. He was a real pioneer in civil rights. Didn't know that. en.wikipedia.org...

11:03am Hugo:

Speaking of blogs, I spent a couple of hours last night dipping into the Madrotter treasures from Indonesia and only really got started. Any vintage krontjong or dangdut up for a grab. Could easily justify a Doug Tuesday special.

11:03am Uncle Michael:

I'm going with "whiskey."

11:03am Monica:

hey there, doug. awesome segue. this eddie vinson is terrif. look forward to seeing you beyond the digital divide next week!

🥁

11:03am duke:

It's more than triple X, whatever it is.

11:03am earrie:

xxxx cartoon labelled whisky

11:05am Doug Schulkind:

You know what other Los Angels-based performer was a significant civil rights player? The guy who played Huggy Bear on Starsky and Hutch...Langston Faizon Santisima (otherwise known as Antonio Fargas).

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Yea Monica!!! The wonderful Monica, suave song-slinger of Sunday evenings, will be my marathon co-host next Friday!

🥁

11:06am duke:

factoid: Charles Lloyd was a student of Buddy Colette

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

@duke
You beat me to it! Eric Dolphy was another student of Collette's.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

Quiz answer: "Juice"

So you were basically correct!

11:19am dcp:

the lead guit in this Mali Koori tune is exceptional..unless that's coming from Scott's show..

11:20am dcp:

double-reed instruments over there though..

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

The more reeds, the better.

11:28am dcp:

gads this is amazing. Where's this from?

11:29am Doug Schulkind:

Romania. I thought Scott was going to announce it...

11:30am Uncle Michael:

That's funny.

11:30am dcp:

of course...great stuff. I don't know WHAT Scott's doing...

11:36am ndbob:

stellar set here Doug!

11:37am still b/p:

Some of this nice stuff, through no fault of its own, brought to mind the internet-sensation Trololo Man, who I'd never heard of until a week ago. Can I request him as talkover music sometime?.

11:42am Van in DC:

Gotta run grab food because I have straight up at noon work I gotta do. Enjoyed...thanks Mr Drummer! Have good weekend all!

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks Van, and... Thanks.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
I have yet to be infected with the Trololo Man virus.

11:45am Uncle Michael:

This is fonky. That bass part seems...familiar.

11:46am Uncle Michael:

I was referring to the Mpharanyana & the Cannibals

11:47am Domenic M:

Sounds strangely African wrapped up in a tortilla of psych

🥁

11:48am listener james from westwood:

must head outta here. thanks most kindly to doug and the whole gtdr crew for their fine music. here's hoping the march winds blow in a mighty mound of marathon moolah!

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
Big radio hugs to you.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Mpharanyana & the Cannibals was completely South African. Los Iberos were from Spain.

11:49am Uncle Michael:

This is good. Really good.

11:51am Doug Schulkind:

Not sure if the DL link is still good, but here is the Tea & Symphony: dirtyfunky.blogspot.com...

11:53am Uncle Michael:

That may save me some work. Thanks!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

That's what I'm here for, Uncle Michael, to promote slothfulness across the land.

11:58am Uncle Michael:

These last couple psyche tracks are both in our libraries at psychedelicized.com

This is a good closer!

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

What are you, a DJ or sumphin'? Yes, of course you are.

11:59am Domenic M:

I love this track... have listened to Walker here and there, and I never heard this one! Cool. Thanks Doug

11:59am ndbob:

Thanks Michael!

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

1000% my pleasure, Domenic M!

12:00pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

1007% in fact.

12:00pm northguineahills:

I think I just heard the first Scott Walker track I actually liked. Have a great weekend Doug!

12:01pm Uncle Michael:

@Domenic. Scott is God and Scott 4 is my favorite book of the testament.

🥁

12:01pm duke:

Great show as always!

12:02pm Uncle Michael:

Thanks Doug...had a blast. Take care everyone.

12:06pm Doug Schulkind:

Thanks you everysinglebody! Fun fun fun was had by me.
