8:28am ausmanx:

i think it might be a mission for Ross Bolleter... www.warpsmusic.com "New music for old accordians and ruined pianos"

8:31am Doug Schulkind:

What's "better", a straight musician on a warped instrument, or a warped musician on a straight instrument?

8:35am ausmanx:

we don't like straight musicians on any instrument! they all need a good warping.

8:43am Doug Schulkind:

Musicians who are if not broke, badly bent.

8:49am jk:

🥁

9:04am duke:

Time to get on down.

9:06am Diane:

The time is now. Good morning, Doug!

9:09am Uncle Michael:

Six hours? You're shitting me.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

duke and Diane, you're right on time!

9:10am Stanley:

Hey Doug and listeners.
Tuning in and zoning out.

9:10am ausmanx:

we'll be gentle with you, uncle Mike

9:11am Uncle Michael:

Do you think it's alright...to leave the kids with Uncle Michael?

Uncle Michael's Holiday Camp.

9:13am ausmanx:

sadly you'll be missing Tynwald Day next Friday, Doug, the national day of the Isle of Man. but Uncle Michael will be spinning the Manx favorites, i hope

9:13am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Stanley!

9:15am Uncle Michael:

No speed limit on the Isle of Man. Tuck in your tails.

9:15am hyde:

uh oh, Uncle Michael's Sleepaway Camp? I'm not sure this ends well.

9:17am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there hyde!

9:18am Uncle Michael:

Hello, Muddah...

9:18am Uncle Michael:

Hello, Fukkah...

9:19am hyde:

I'm not meeting anyone by the waterfront after the social

9:20am hyde:

anyone else testing out the Digg Reader today? it seems sort of promising, actually.

9:21am ndbob:

great set here Doug

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

hyde, let me know how you like Digg. I have thrown my lot in with Feedly, but have some reservations.

9:25am hyde:

@Doug at first glance it seems pretty slick. I had sort of gotten away from using my Google Reader (I overstuffed it and got overwhelmed) but I think I'm going to pare stuff down and try this for awhile.

9:29am andujar:

tuning in!

9:30am Dominick:

enjoying very much

9:31am northguineahills:

Hi/Bi. Gonna be MIA at work probably for the rest of your show. Have a great vacation!

9:33am andujar:

agreed on the "psychedelic" overuse.

9:34am still b/p:

Good morning.
Just read that Leschenko was banned in early Soviet Union days because because "the style (tango and foxtrot) was deemed counter-revolutionary...'78 records were smuggled into the country from the Baltics, and specialists would bootleg his music onto "ribs" (used X-ray plates)."

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

'allo andjuar! And Dominick! Don't work too hard, NGH! Thanks for that info, still b/p!

9:37am Gary:

Super love for Morena y Clara!!!!!!!!<-----[add on many more of these]

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

I know, right, Gary?!

More info: es.wikipedia.org...

9:38am ndbob:

@still b/p interesting story

9:39am Gary:

From Google's English translation (speaking of psychedelic): "That success made them do many live performances and television. The rhythms created by "Carlos", for the songs were very psychedelic, highly distorted guitars and rock with strong bases, which made national success that simple."

9:40am hyde:

i mostly come here for the flamenco rock

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Give the people what they want, I say.

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

If that track made you say ooh, it's because it was from Uruguay.

9:44am still b/p:

We want gift baskets.

9:44am Lewis:

hey folks - have you seen this from Salon? www.salon.com...

9:44am Lewis:

hint - black punk rockers from 1974 Detroit...

9:46am andujar:

this Kent Gomez LP is very rare! good stuff.

9:47am Gary:

@Lewis It's out now? I think I saw a trailer for it, but a while ago, and then I didn't hear anything more about it. Just looked it up and it's playing at Cinema Village right now -- awesomeness!

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

@Lewis
The brothers behind that Detroit band eventually gave up rock and moved to Vermont where they've been playing fairly awful roots-reggae for the snowbirds. I saw them in a club near Ludlow one Thanksgiving weekend about 15 years ago.

9:50am Doug Schulkind:

@andujar
I first discovered Kent G from that Lost Classics of Salsa set. Led my to the full LP. Title track of "My Ghetto" is monumental.

9:50am Lewis:

@Gary - very cool; looks like the closest it is going to get to me is Duluth (?!)

@Doug- in Salon they formed "Lamsbread, a longtime staple of the East Coast summer festival circuit."

9:53am andujar:

I was digging with my homeboy Bongohead at one of the WFMU fairs. I looked thru just about everything this guy had but figured "why should i look thru the polka LPs?". well then Bongo looked thru them and turned up My Ghetto for like a buck or something.

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

In fact, the track after this Joey Pastrana is from Lost Classics of Salsa, Vol. 1.

@Lewis
Yup. Lambsbread. Their music was really quite awful. These fake rastas playing reggay for a drunk and hooting après ski crowd. We just went in for some beers and were confronted with this bizarre collision of cultures.

9:54am northguineahills:

Awesome Lewis, I've only read small bites about them,

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

@andjuar
Give Pablo my best when you next see him.

9:55am Lewis:

@Doug - I can imagine the nightmare and it isn't pretty...

9:57am Jeff Golick:

Two of the most hideous words, when put together: "après ski."

9:58am Jeff Golick:

(@Doug: I stole your accent aigu; hope you don't mind.)

9:58am jk:

I'm more into the avant ski crowd

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Just don't steal my ragú.

9:59am jk:

get-out-ski!

9:59am Jeff Golick:

I'm with you, @jk. There's a band name: The Avantskis.

10:00am Gary:

@ jk ... be careful what you wish for! avantskis.com

10:00am Gary:

Favorited every track of that set.

10:01am Uncle Michael:

@Lewis: I've had Death tracks in my show folder, languishing.

10:02am jk:

ok, I've never actually been on skis in my life.

10:06am KevinfromBayRidge:

Hey Doug & all Drummersomes! Very grateful to hear your wunnerful tunes. The pop-up (my only way in at work) ceased working yesterday morning and there's nothing worse than an FMU auditory vacuum. Luckily, upon turning on my "machine" ths morning, the connectivity gods had smiled on me again...Whewwww! Day by Day!

10:08am Lewis:

@Uncle Michael - sounds like you will have lots of time to work through some of that languishing material next week!

10:08am northguineahills:

I've been listening at work via my phone, and commenting via their interwebs....

10:10am Doug Schulkind:

Hi and hello,KevinfromBayRidge!

I think a glitch has been discovered with the pop-up player. When a show joins or leaves the stream, and thus the streaming content switches from the detault random-play queue of tracks to a live radio show (or back), it makes the pop-up player fail. If this ever happens, just close it and reopen.

The authorities have been alerted and will be working to correct the imperfection.

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

@NGH
You rebel you!

10:12am Lewis:

WRT the pop-up player: I have found that all I have to do is stop and start again and things settle down...

10:15am Doug Schulkind:

I know absolutely nothing about this group, Perception, but I deeply dig this record. Which I found here:

inconstantsol.blogspot.com...

10:15am still b/p:

At almost every program transition on the stream, the pop-up goes into a roughly one-second intermittency -- on - off - on -off...
Is that the common failure encountered? Sometimes it's what alerts me to what time it is.

10:15am Jeff Golick:

@Lewis: that's been my Perception, too.

FAVING the hell out of this one.

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

@still b/p
You are describing exactly what (I hear) happens, yes.

10:16am Lewis:

@still b/p: the radio popup version of bells in Switzerland...

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

OK, just found this record was also shared at Mutant Sounds, with this description:

Futura label jazz-rock/Zeuhl Music album,issued in 1971. Led by Jeff Seffer (aka Yochk'o Seffer) on bass-clarinet, soprano & tenor saxes, along with Siegfried Kessler piano, electric piano), Didier Levallet (bass) and Jean-My Truong (drums). Shortly after this Yochk'o Seffer joined Magma (on such classics as Mekanick Kommando & 1001° Centigrades) and then later founded Zao. "Colour splashes, melting magma, he plays like he paints and sculpts: he is the melting pot of the dancing lyricism of his compatriot Bartok, the Coltranian fire and the self proclamations of a Monk with a multi-instrumental virtuoso (from sopranino to bass saxophone) and with an endless passion.

🥁

10:21am duke:

Thanks for that link to the Perception recording

🥁

10:22am duke:

BTW, this Bill Evans cut is damn nice too.

10:24am Doug Schulkind:

Evans with Scott LaFaro (bass) and Paul Motian (drums). What a trio. Maybe the best piano trio ever. (A stupid kind of statement, but I'm overcome with exuberance.)

10:24am Jeff Golick:

SCOTT LA FARO.

10:24am KevinfromBayRidge:

I think my problem was on the corp/gov filter end. The GTDS program transition thing is nothing at all, relatively.A simple pause/play solves it.

10:25am trs:

It was quite fantastic.

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks for appropriately shouting, Jeff.

Hello trs!

10:28am trs:

Good morningk,

10:28am C in pensacola:

哈har, i just happened to see that movie the other day, the still on wfmu front page, with the flour on the hippie's face. can anyone name it for me?

10:28am Jeff Golick:

LaFaro died ten days after those recordings, I believe. Doug, was that from the Village Vanguard recording? He was 25.

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

I broadcast a Scott LaFaro birthday show last year:

wfmu.org...

10:28am Gary:

I can't quite make out what Yaqub is saying ... ?

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

@C in Pensacola
"Billy Jack"

10:29am C in pensacola:

silly movie

10:29am Jeff Golick:

@Gary: You might have to go to The House of Yaqub for the full translation.

10:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
Unintelligible to all, including, no doubt, Yaqub.

10:30am hyde:

huh, I don't remember listening to that LaFaro tribute show. I will need to do that!

10:31am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Yes, that is right. About LaFaro.

@C in Pensacola
Billy movie.

🥁

10:33am duke:

Some info about Yaqub thewire.co.uk...

10:44am Doug Schulkind:

The Mike Cooper mentioned in that Wire piece, duke, is a good friend of GTDS! He emailed me last night. Today finds him on his way to Greece for a month.

10:44am Gary:

Wow, thanks duke & Doug for all that about Yakub

10:49am Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
If you Google "Yaqub Speaks" you'll find a number of blogs sharing that record. Not sure if any links still work. I'd be happy to provide for anyone who'd like the tracks. (Track #4 is a duet for piano and orgasm.)

Just email me a request!

10:53am Gary:

Rockin Molam!

10:54am Jonathan:

Would ya believe that I recently found an original mono pressing of the "Waltz For Debby" LP in a dollar bin?

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

This Thai gem comes courtesy (of course) of Peter Doolan's amazing Monrakplengthai:

monrakplengthai.blogspot.com...

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Jonathan
That is both a wonder (for you) and an abomination (for the universe).

10:57am Gary:

I promised my coworkers a trip to the Korean taco truck when it opens at 11, so I'm bowing out, but will listen to the rest in of the show in the archive. Can't tear myself away from this insanely great Molam, though -- so, so good.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

I think "Korean Taco truck" is now my favorite three-word phrase in the English language.

11:13am Vivian:

Awesome gift, Doug! If I may suggest, visit your local animal shelter. So many wonderful dogs looking for a home.

11:14am pacific standard simon:

Oh my head... I need a kimchee compress...

11:16am Jesse K:

there's a Turkish Taco place in boston's south end, falafel burritos are the thing to get

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

@Vivian
That is the plan! We will be getting a rescue dog for sure.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

I got a dog for my 10th birthday. My daughter (and wife) have been wanting a dog for years and years and I have been the hold out. (We have three cats.) But I finally have caved.

MONDO CANE!

11:18am Uncle Michael:

There is no bad version of Skokiaan.

11:18am Uncle Michael:

I went to see Hair for my 10th birthday.

🥁

11:20am duke:

I had hair for my 10th birthday, not so much now.

11:20am Vivian:

Alright! All my dogs were strays. Why the holdout, Doug? Is it due to the cats?

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

According to writer David Copland, that Zimbabwean version of Skokiaan from '47 was the original.

11:22am pacific standard simon:

The Spike Jones version is sorta, WTF? But you expect that.

11:22am Doug Schulkind:

@Viv
The cats. The developing maturity of the potential dog's main person. The poop. Mostly the poop.

11:23am Uncle Michael:

It's all about the poop.

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

@Viv
One of our cats is really fragile emotionally. When we got a third cat last year (a year after another of our cats died), this dear quivering ball of fur just flipped out. 18 months later, he is still peeing all over the house. I figure a dog is just going to WRECK him. Or maybe he'll surprise us all and become best buds. Oh well.

11:26am pacific standard simon:

Learning to change a diaper will get anyone over the dog poop thing.

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

@pacific standard simon
Been there, changed that. Diaper.

11:33am pacific standard simon:

Recently introduced my rescued (long ago) dog to a household with a (recently) rescued cat; they HAVE become friends of a sort -- running around, playing that chase game. They're the same size, though.

11:34am Alex In Illinois:

My sister adopted a resuce dog a few years ago. She named him after me, since she adopted him on my birthday.

11:35am ndbob:

@Doug I remember well your tribute show to Mouse

11:35am Uncle Michael:

Been there, done that, got the soiled t-shirt.

11:37am hyde:

wow, I wandered off for a bit and the drummer some playlist turned into a pet support forum. (not that I mind, the one eyed cat avatar I use is my own rescue beast!

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

Gonna make me cry, ndbob.

I present to all, the late, magnificent Mouse:

wfmu.org...

11:39am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Alex in Ill!

11:41am hyde:

"Alex in Illinois" is a weird name for a dog

11:42am Uncle Michael:

Next Friday I plan to read the shooting script for Mr. Smith Goes To Washington aloud. You gotta hear my Jean Arthur.

11:45am pacific standard simon:

And you can't go to the bathroom until you finish.

11:45am Alex In Illinois:

Actually she named the dog: "Zander" -- short for "Alexander".

Last week, I missed the show because I was flying to D.C. that day to attend my sister's wedding in Maryland. There were some Pittsburghers there, because that is where her wife is from.

11:47am Vivian:

@ Doug - completely understand. One of my cats passed away last year. My husband offered to pay for the adoption of another cat. However, not sure how my other cat will handle it. I can handle the cat pee, my husband can't - he flips out.

🥁

11:48am listener james from westwood:

deadline hit; draft being digested. gtds was of matchless help in keeping me from going nuts.

11:51am Uncle Michael:

Doug's going out too strong. How the hell do I follow this set?

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

This lead singer, Wilmer "Little Ax" Broadnax performed his entire life as a man, but was actually a woman.

11:53am Uncle Michael:

he has always been my guiding star

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

Speaking of which...

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael's Hinkdy Dinky Time follows in mere moments. Keep listening and switch your playlist page over to here:

wfmu.org...

🥁

11:55am duke:

Great soul set. Have a good vacation Doug

11:57am pacific standard simon:

It's gotta be like Captain Willard and Colonel Kurtz.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

See you all over in the next room.

11:58am Uncle Michael:

The horror...

11:58am Monica:

tight on with the right on, doug! great show as always.

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Prolly going a minute or two over, Michael. I'll give your three hours next week to make up for it.

11:58am Uncle Michael:

I'm an errand boy...sent to collect a bill.

11:58am hyde:

well, there's another one in the can. thanks as always. great stuff.

11:58am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:59am Uncle Michael:

Hyde, that's what she said.

11:59am pacific standard simon:

Stay tuned for Uncle Michael!

12:00pm trs:

12:00pm Vivian:

12:01pm Uncle Michael:

12:01pm still b/p:
