Tumblin' Tumbleweeds

8:49am Russ Tamblyn:

Someone ask for me?

8:58am ndbob:

morning Doug and everyone!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Good morning, ndbob!

🥁

9:01am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug, could we have an hiatus on the gifs?

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

Apologies if they're giving you seizures, Brian in UK.

🥁

9:05am listener james from westwood:

Good morning, Doug and all! Just back in after a fire alarm emptied the apartment complex. 8 degrees out so typing is done w stiff little fingers.

9:06am Uncle Michael:

Disable gifs:

www.wikihow.com...

9:06am ndbob:

Wow James!

🥁

9:07am Brian in UK:

My dilemma is that Bill Mac is on the other channel. My undilemma is the archive.

9:07am glenn:

i love stiff little fingers, although i don't imagine we'll ever hear them on g.t.d.r.

9:08am Uncle Michael:

no? wfmu.org...

🥁

9:08am listener james from westwood:

@glenn: I rule nothing out on GTDR. Or GTDS.

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
Oh wow, hope all is OK and you are getting toasty quick. My thaweds are with you.

@Uncle Michael
What the hell? I thought only Superman could do that!

@glenn
If it ain't stiff, it ain't worth a spin.

9:09am jeff g.:

mornin'.

@ljfw: why always the 8 degree days?

9:11am ndbob:

13 here - actually a little warmer in north dakota

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, Jeff "the magic human tilapia" Golick!

3°F here in Pittsburgh. This weekend, it's supposed to get "cold."

🥁

9:14am Brian in UK:

Stiff Little Fish Fingers?

9:15am davex:

Greetings from a tropical Central Germany at 48°F.

🥁

9:16am Brian in UK:

Hell davex. Have I asked you if you have been to Vienna?

9:16am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, davex! We shall enjoy your temperature vicariously.

9:17am davex:

Hey Brian, no you haven't but I have, albeit ages ago. Are you planning a trip?

9:17am davex:

You are welcome to a degree or two, Doug.

9:18am glenn:

ummmm, i was wrong.

9:19am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
Factually misadventurous, maybe?

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

I L.O.V.E. the cover to this Vis-a-Vis record: www.globalgroovers.com...

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

But then, I've always been a sucker for LP art featuring crabs.

🥁

9:23am Brian in UK:

davex, loose plan to go to Brno for MotoGP in August thence onward to Vienna. Travelling there and back by train.

🥁

9:24am listener james from westwood:

@Doug: We were all out of the building for 1/2 hour. After the first 10 min I went to the local candy store for some OTC meds (as you saw on Twitter) and the bagel shop for a poppy seed bagel (more meds if you count the traces of opium). Waited a bit longer to come in, then all clear was declared. Glad no fire, & hell on the 1st responders (here yesterday for the same thing), but still: juuuust now thawed out to type well.

9:25am davex:

Sounds good, Brian, even if I know nothing about the MotoGP. Both cities are worth a visit! Would you be passing through these parts?

🥁

9:25am Brian in UK:

Been reading Zweig recently and looking at Schiele paintings compounds the desire to visit.

🥁

9:26am Brian in UK:

Train London to Prague onward to Brno. Is Leipzig in the way?

9:26am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
Yucky, but glad it wasn't worse.

9:27am davex:

Brian, it could very well be on the way (or just a short detour in any case). I'd be very happy to show you around, depending on when in August, though.

🥁

9:30am Brian in UK:

I think the race is around August 16th. Was considering the bus from Brno to Vienna. It will be heaving with motorcycle fans.

🥁

9:31am listener james from westwood:

@Doug: Thanks. The much larger senior complex behind my bldg had a real fire last year. All safe, but they had a devil of a time evac'ing. Bldg fine, apartment suffered more water than fire damage. Frightful.

9:33am Mr C:

63 degrees on the outside. Driving hard on the inside. Got my road map by my side.

9:35am Doug Schulkind:

@LJFW
I read about that huge fire in Jersey along the Hudson that burned out so many, including Yankees announcer John Sterling.

@Mr C
You've got 63 degrees and every one of them a Ph.D.

🥁

9:36am Artie Haywire:

And I'd give up every one of 'em for a nice mug of cocoa right about now...

9:38am Doug Schulkind:

Artie is here! Artie is here!

9:39am davex:

Sounds good, Brian - I sent you an e-mail...

🥁

9:43am Brian in UK:

Thanks davex.

9:43am Lewis:

the women in the gif are pretty incredible!

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

@Lewis
Are you head-over-heels in love?

9:44am Lewis:

I really digging gospel these days

9:44am Lewis:

Short declarative sentences are good

9:45am Lewis:

I think so.

9:46am Lewis:

or is it heels over head?...

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

For the last decade or so, whenever I was helping my 90+ year-old mother-in-law get out of the car, to help her get her balance as she attempted to stand up, I would remind her "nose over toes, nose over toes."

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
Maybe you should sit this track out, given your fire scare this morning.

9:54am ndbob:

great set here Doug!

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Save for the opening track, every selection in this set comes from the collection of Brother Kevin Nutt: wfmu.org...

🥁

9:57am duke:

Kevin's show is a true gem

🥁

9:58am listener james from westwood:

Heh, thanks for the heads-up, Doug. Music is and ever shall be a balm. In Gilead or elsewhere.

9:59am lucyinbrooklyn:

Listening in chilly Brooklyn. Missing you as always!

🥁

10:00am listener james from westwood:

And yes, that fire down in Edgewater on the Hudson was a nightmare countless orders of magnitude worse than me getting cold fingers. Unbelievable devastation and an ongoing horror for all those folks.

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

lucyinbrooklyn! I am warmer now that you're here.

And you, too, duke!

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

@Listener James
They used that cheapo "light construction" on that Edgewater complex. Verging on the criminal.

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

Joining Mike Osborne's alto sax here is John Surman on baritone sax.

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

The liner notes to this Osborne disc call drummer Alan Jackson "the Elvin Jones of the UK."

10:07am glenn:

oh, block construction is definitely the best way to go. it's also 25 times more expensive.

10:08am Doug Schulkind:

Another nice pairing of saxes: Ellery Eskelin on tenor sax is joining Gebhard Ullman here.

10:12am Doug Schulkind:

Your ears are going to need to see the dentist after hearing this Jackie McLean record cover: ecx.images-amazon.com...

🥁

10:14am listener james from westwood:

@Doug: On that complex and the deity knows how many other places in the 2000-2007 building boom. The maintenance working calling his boss first and not 9-1-1 for 15 min (with the fire station like 3 minutes away) didn't help.

OTOH, this McLean is the fine kind of smokin'.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

Where there's smoke, there's fire (i.e., our next two selections this set)

10:17am glenn:

google chinese drywall lawsuits, for something truly scary, and revealing. you'll never look at fly ash in the same way again.

10:21am Doug Schulkind:

@glenn
I don't want to think about that until my nephew Reuben is home from his studies in China. (Where he has become, believe it or not, a star skateboarder. Crazy.)

10:27am glenn:

well, no. the chinese drywall was being installed in american subdivisions, where it promptly started growing moulds at an unprecedented rate, causing many houses to be demolished, and many, many, many lawsuits.

🥁

10:27am listener james from westwood:

@glenn, the entire Southwest is likely rife with that shit after the big building boom. Insectoid archaeologists 20 million years from now will chitter "WTF" when they unearth it.

10:29am Flash Strap:

I'm up! I'm awake! Here I am. Myy eyyes are open i swear

10:33am Mr C:

Love this background music, love the music of Jackie McLean even more..

10:36am Doug Schulkind:

Good Myrning, Flash Strap!

10:41am Flash Strap:

myrning doug. myrning, all

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

This Story of Iceland would go swimmingly on your show, Mr. Explorer!

10:46am Flash Strap:

yes, i've been admiring its arctic exoticism

10:50am Alex In Illinois:

Is this Norwegian Hardinger fiddling?

10:50am ndbob:

morning Flash et al

10:50am ndbob:

This is really nice

10:50am Doug Schulkind:

Arxcoticism?

@Alex in Illinois
Very reminiscent of that lovely Norwegian fiddling, but no. Ms. Cannell is from England.

10:51am AndrewC.:

Ooh, ooh! Claim to fame! Laura is married to my one of my good friends from my school days.

10:53am AndrewC.:

Doug, glad to see you got her first entry into the WFMU playlist search...

10:54am Doug Schulkind:

@AndrewC
How very nice! I am gaga over this record of hers.

🥁

10:55am listener james from westwood:

Hells yes to this Macchi.

10:55am Doug Schulkind:

@AndrewC
Is her name pronounced KA-nell or ka-NELL?

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

I am a citizen of Macchination.

10:58am Mike East:

Good morning, Drummer Somers.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

Not last but East!

11:00am AndrewC.:

@Doug First one.

11:01am Flash Strap:

I know I missed most of it but this is a great show so far

11:01am Doug Schulkind:

As I am preparing my show and grouping together songs that I'd like to play in sequence, I drop whatever MP3s I have into folders and name them. The name of the folder for this set: GLAD TO BE ALIVE

11:02am Doug Schulkind:

@AndrewC
Thanks!

@Flash Strap
You're off the hook: No quiz later!

11:03am Rob in SAV:

That was a particularly beautiful set, Doug.

11:03am Flash Strap:

phew

11:09am still b/p:

I'm having an almond/coconut milk combo on my cereal! It's that kind of bold ballsy living over here today -- what else to do with another blizzard due tomorrow? Carpe diem with a spoon!

11:10am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you, Rob in SAV!

11:11am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, still b/p. the authorities have told us here to expect "whiteout" conditions tomorrow.

🥁

11:11am duke:

This track has everything going for it. Great guitar.

11:12am Doug Schulkind:

And the cackle-and-response is riveting!

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

HUUUUGE thanks to Adam Lore over at 50 Miles of Elbow Room (www.50milesofelbowroom.com) for tipping me off to this Fadaul!!

Side B from Fadaul coming up in just a bit.

11:15am glenn:

i thought that said almond / cocaine for a second.

11:16am still b/p:

Tomorrow morning I may get into some weirdass snow-tending prep, getting up on the existing tall banks to shovel the profile back, so there's room to heave more when I clear the fresh dumpin's.

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

I thought Fadaul was snorting almond cocaine for a second there.

11:17am Doug Schulkind:

On Side B, Fadaul is definitely snorting him some almond cocaine.

11:18am still b/p:

They should serve little almond cocaine snacks on planes.

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Imagine the surcharge, still b/p.

11:20am Carmichael:

Hello Doug and acolytes. I am darn near the only person at work today. Is the big knob the volume knob??

11:21am Doug Schulkind:

Just reach for the Knob Creek and you'll be okay, Carmichael.

11:22am Carmichael:

Flash Strap, dug your entire show last night!

11:23am Webhamster Henry:

This Estoria sounds like a lot of fun - probably one of those great "instructions" scores.

11:23am Doug Schulkind:

Unnecessary Info Dept.: Jocy De Oliveira got her masters at Washington University in St. Louis.

11:23am Uncle Michael:

I've assumed the position.

11:24am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Mr. Webhamster, Sir!

11:25am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Uncle Michael has assumed the position. His shows begins on the Drummer Stream in 35 minutes: wfmu.org...

11:25am Uncle Michael:

That's more true than false.

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

@Uncle Michael
When you assume the position, you make an ass out of you and everyone.

11:27am Doug Schulkind:

More FADAUL!!!

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Sadly, I will miss Uncle Michael and Hinky Dinky Time as right after I get off the air, I have to ...gulp... go to work.

🥁

11:30am listener james from westwood:

Must jet for now; hoping to grab at least the bottom third of HDT upon my return. Many thanks, Doug, and in advance, UM!

11:30am Uncle Michael:

Did anyone save a seat for Elijah?

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

Stay warm and unfirstresponded, Listener James!

11:30am Uncle Michael:

You will be missed, the both of youse.

11:32am still b/p:

I'll miss most of it cuz I'm gonna go clean an AirBnB for a friend. That's really why I needed to get hopped up on the almond/coconut milk.

11:34am Uncle Michael:

Hinky Dinky Time is portable!

wfmu.org...

11:36am tr:sh:

Quite possibly the best radio tune-in listening start in the last moments of that last song. From quiet to scream.
... Good morning!!

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

Best song about afros ever?

11:36am Uncle Michael:

I love 40 rpm records.

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

Funny!

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

Towana is actually the wonderful L.A. singer Ty Karim.

11:41am still b/p:

Hahhh! You think I gots a smartphone for great obily-mobiley listening! Hahhhh -- you done more of the crazy milk than me!

Speaking of afros, I can report, just for the hell of it, that I saw some of the movie Dolemite the other night for the first time.

Was it the speed that made the Towana track sound like a production and performing style from a few or several years later than '65?

11:44am Santos L Halper:

That Lucky Brown was great; nice horns. Thanks!

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

@stil b/p
You should ask Towana's (Ty Karim's) husband Kent Harris. He was her producer.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

Your welc, Santos L Halper!

11:51am ndbob:

great Ed Cobb song here!

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Ed Cobb indeed!

11:53am Uncle Michael:

Doug, you're freaking me out. I have Ms. Holloway in my last set today.

11:54am Doug Schulkind:

Ed "Tainted Love" Cobb.

@Uncle Michael
The more (Brenda Holloway) the merrier!

11:54am Uncle Michael:

John Prine

11:56am northguineahills:

Got here for the last half hour, and what a half hour it was!

11:56am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

@northguineahills
You picked a helluva half hour!

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Doug, you saved my morning. Great show.

11:58am Jesse K:

thanks Doug, I was lurking this morning.

🥁

11:58am duke:

If you're choosing material, it's hard to go wrong with John Prine

🥁

11:58am duke:

Thanks for a great show Sir Doug

11:59am Doug Schulkind:

John Neff is on pedal steel here with Bettye. Spooner Oldham on Wurlitzer and elec. piano.

Hello Jesse lurKer!

@duke
Boy are you every right.

11:59am glenn:

hey, it's lurky the k.

12:00pm Uncle Michael:

see you in the next room!

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

That was way more fun than god and science should allow. Thanks, everyone!

12:02pm still b/p:

Thanks, Doug. (Do storm-freakout people mob the Target like they mob the grocery store?)
