Listener comments!

8:43am glenn:

hay, it's the rapture.

8:44am Doug Schulkind:

If the hay is laced with LSD, that is.

8:46am glenn:

ooops. i suck.

8:48am Doug Schulkind:

I hope you're not sucking that LSD-laced hay! (Unless you wanted to.)

8:49am glenn:

i sucked enough hay in my yute, what with being a farm kid and all.

8:54am Doug Schulkind:

Did you have some tiresome steeds for neigh bores?

9:06am fishmonkeystew:

Good golly, they are the cutest little beings I have ever met! I just spent the last 2 hours with Ruby sleeping on my chest. Best feeling in the world!

9:07am Mr C:

Doug..If wanna get thru it, you... gotta get to it..the Soul of Camden, NJ..

9:08am annie:

9:08am Doug Schulkind:

@fishmonkeystew
Like slow-motion fireworks in your heart.

Earlybird Mr. C is up and at 'em!

9:09am doca:

Hi, all! @Doug, that gif is amazing

9:11am annie:

..."and so they thus spoke to the youngest, "you shall be the bearer of the kleenex. a most high honour!' "

9:11am Doug Schulkind:

@doca
What do you mean? It's just a nice picture of a sunset over the lake. What have you been smoking?!

9:14am annie:

if any of you yahoos get down to asheville and want great food, fresh and most delicious, check out "king daddy's chicken and waffles". just used up the last of the lamb gravy on my breakfast toast.this gravy is made from scratch!! real bones..

9:15am Doug Schulkind:

So far the best title for the show:

"This gravy is made from scratch!! Real bones"

Keep those entries coming!

9:16am Flash Strap:

I will definitely do that next time i'm in asheville, which will be soon. That sounds fucking delicious. Thinking of it has ruined my crappy breakfast.

Hey all!

9:17am holland oats:

9:17am Flash Strap:

"in the hall of the mountain skink"

9:18am ndbob:

9:18am Doug Schulkind:

Holla, Holland Oats!

Sorry about the crappy streaming last night, Flashy!

9:18am Mr C:

Ashville: birthday place of the estimable Warren Haynes

9:19am Flash Strap:

Lord only knows how much chicken art I've done. I grew up amongst chickens. They were my first subject as an artist

9:19am annie:

...bring it!!

9:20am annie:

you'll have to let me know when you're coming.. we can descend upon them en masse! doug knows how to reach me

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

We have a new "best title" for the show:

"Lord only knows how much chicken art I've done."

Keep them coming!

9:20am Flash Strap:

Oof, yeah last night was a slog through a bog

9:21am ndbob:

nice set here Doug!

9:21am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME is totally against Steve Gunn control.

9:21am Flash Strap:

will do annie. chicken party

9:22am annie:

if you come in the warm weather, the patio will be open

🥁

9:23am βrian:

Just arrived, and it looked like annie's last comment was a proverb.

9:24am Mr C:

A label named for Albert Ayler! French no doubt.

9:24am Jeff Golick:

Kids, whatever you do, don't drink the Kool-Aid.

9:24am Jeff Golick:

But do drink the gravy.

9:26am doca:

@Doug: You say there's no Jesus on the gif?

🥁

9:26am Brian in UK:

Hey fishmonkeystew how is The Stomping Ground doing? Long time no see.

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

Welcome welcome, βrian and Jeff Golick!

9:28am Doug Schulkind:

@ndbob
Glad you like!

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
Way French.

🥁

9:30am βrian:

My proverb:
"Open your door to a good day and prepare yourself for a bad one."

9:31am Andrew Waterloo:

Good morning!

9:32am Andrew Waterloo:

I think the best part of that gif is the little girl holding the box of kleenix.

🥁

9:33am listener james from westwood:

Title: Please Pardon Our French

9:35am Andrew Waterloo:

Just remember, don't go there dad in french is "Ne pas y aller papa!"

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

Hey there Andrew Waterloo!

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

I have no clue what's going on with this Brazilian comedy record. This number is about two snakes. Real funny material, I guess.

9:39am doca:

@Doug: It is really difficult to understand it, lots of slang and regional accent. When I catch the archives I'll listen to it with more attention.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

I will write your title on a ping-pong ball and throw it in the lottery machine, Listener James!

@doca
My hero!

🥁

9:40am listener james from westwood:

Revised title: Please Pardon Our French (and our Portuguese, and Our...)

🥁

9:41am listener james from westwood:

Trouble is my other go-to for giving Portuguese a solid try to enunciate. Doug and Trouble are way better at it than I would be!

9:41am annie:

i just melt whenever i hear it spoken.

9:42am annie:

my own personal mental slow-motion fireworks

9:44am doca:

@Doug: It is part of those kind of challenges between singers/players. In Northeastern Brazil it is related to the tradition of the "repentistas", which is improvised and sung storytelling. In South Brazil (where I live) it is more related to the pajador (payador, in Spanish) thing. But both are duels around guitar playing. The "novelty" thing is not so much about being funny but around "dissing" the other guy. (The same kind of music exists in a lot of other places, of course).

9:44am Andrew Waterloo:

May as well pardon our English while we're at it.

9:46am Jeff Golick:

The "dozens" aspect of that Brazilian thing came through pretty loud and clear.

9:47am Doug Schulkind:

@doca
Interesting. I have heard some amazing music like what you are describing, with rapid-fire back-and-forth almost freestyle rapping between two vocalists.

9:49am Flash Strap:

there's some really good calypso in that vein

9:49am Doug Schulkind:

The artists I am thinking of who perform this style are Geraldo Mousinho e Cachimbinho. Amazing stuff.

9:50am doca:

@Doug: Yeah it is very traditional and folkloric in Brazil. Portuguese wikipedia says it comes from the Middle Ages. I wonder if it is still exits in Portugal.

9:50am doca:

@Doug: Never heard of neither of them. I'll have a look!

🥁

9:50am βrian:

Quel vacarme !

9:52am Doug Schulkind:

Interesting background on this French performance art troupe: www.headheritage.co.uk...

9:53am Flash Strap:

see ya friends, i'm off to smirk at the factory

9:53am doca:

@Doug: Brazilian countryside keeps some interesting and very VERY old Portuguese traditions. One of them is the cavalhadas, which are representations of battles between Christians and Moors in the Middle Ages. I think "repente" comes from the same background.

9:53am annie:

see ya flash!

9:54am Doug Schulkind:

Gone in a Flash!

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Here's a new one from Tommy B!

9:58am SeanG:

Good stuff!

9:59am Doug Schulkind:

Hi SeanG!

10:00am SeanG:

Howdy Doug! thanks for the tunes

10:06am annie:

ne title for the show: all this for a dress of many colors?

🥁

10:06am duke:

Get Well Soon UM

10:06am Doug Schulkind:

Submitted with pleasure, for pleasure, SeanG!

10:14am Andrew Waterloo:

Hurray! for Net Neutrality BTW

10:14am Mr C:

Sounds like Sonny Shamrock guitar

10:15am Mr C:

Sharrock

10:16am doca:

Hey, guys, everybody's on Facebook? Tomorrow there'll be a large sale of Brazilian independent labels in São Paulo, I thought you might be interested in getting a glimpse of Brazilian underground music business right now:
www.facebook.com...

10:16am glenn:

he's taken out irish citizenship.

10:16am doca:

Sonny Shamrock, the Irish guitar player

10:16am glenn:

nope. not on facebook.

10:17am Jeff "white privilege" Golick:

Any chance Saheb Sarbib and Sahib Shihab were ever in the same band?

10:17am doca:

Sorry, @glenn, they don't have a website.

10:17am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr C
The guitarist was Joseph Dejean. The recording was dedicated to him as he perished in an auto accident a few days after this live performance.

10:20am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff WP Golick
Someone HAD to say it.

10:27am Mr C:

New to me..thanks Doug

10:27am Doug Schulkind:

This song is about rude and "nosy" people.

10:30am Jeff Golick:

Going a tad crazy over here. I have a phone interview this afternoon for a job at Amazon, and I'm supposed to fill out some kind if i-application form online, ahead of the interview. I keep following their instructions to receive my password via email, but the email never comes. I feel like I'm trapped in some kind of horrible, recursive loop, which may in fact stand in for the interview itself.

10:31am holland oats:

spam folder?

10:32am glenn:

spam folder is also a good best title.

🥁

10:32am Artie Haywire:

My new job title: Executive Spam Folder

10:34am Andrew Waterloo:

I used to hang out with a friend while he DJ'd, my unofficial title was complaints department

10:36am holland oats:

with your host, tad crazy

10:38am Jeff Golick:

@holland oats! BINGO! Gmail's spam folder is not that easy to dig into. (I thought that "All Mail" was showing me presumed spam, too, but no.) Also, the Amazon email apparently looks like phishing.

Thanks so much!

10:39am holland oats:

glad to hear d:o - break a leg

10:41am Doug Schulkind:

I hear Obama's ex-press secretary Jay Carney just got hired by Amazon. So I guess he got his password.

Good luck, Jeff!

10:42am Doug Schulkind:

Next up:
20 minutes of German rock. Enjoy!

10:45am Jeff Golick:

Thanks!

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

You'll have to register with JStor for free, but you can read this thesis called

Music as a Weapon? Ton Steine Scherben and the Politics of Rock in Cold War Berlin

Here: www.jstor.org...

10:46am annie:

ok a bonus 45 minutes was added to my radio-listening-time.. out the door!!

10:47am Mr C:

Requests for future:
Tribute to Elenco Records
Tribute to ESP-Disk

10:49am Jeff Golick:

I love Dolly Parton's cover of this tune.

10:49am Gary at the Laundromat:

Loving the German

10:50am tr\\sh:

Guten Morgen.

10:51am Lewis:

this is pretty cool - wasn't sure at first, but definitely growing on me.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr. C
The artist alone decides! (Virtually every artist I've ever spoken with or read in print who talked about recording for ESP has called Bernie Stollman a thug and a thief.)

@tr\\sh
And a gluten-free Guten Morgen to you, too!

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

We have a new best title possibility:

"Wasn't sure at first, but definitely growing on me"

Howdy, Lewis!

10:54am glenn:

i like when i can read a headline and just instinctively know that the subject is a republican. news.nationalpost.com...

10:55am Jeff Golick:

Speaking of the Cold War and academic articles, here is one titled: "Jazz Autobiography and the Cold War" : www.tandfonline.com...

10:56am Mr C:

Doug..I know that about Bernie..but what a lineup!

🥁

10:57am Brian in UK:

We all need Extra Special Pyjamas. Strange name for a label though.

10:59am Doug Schulkind:

@Mr. C
A gobsmacking lineup.

10:59am Hugo:

Guten Abend!

11:00am Jeff Golick:

Recently came across an ESP-Disk' title that was totally new to me: www.discogs.com... Billed as John Surman's debut on wax, I think.

11:03am Doug Schulkind:

Jazz played a notable role in the Cold War. With emerging and liberated nations joining the world stage in the late '50s and '60s, the U.S. State Department sent out waves of happy black American musicians to sell the notion that the USA was full of racial harmony and brotherhood. For the musicians, it was a paying gig; for the U.S. it was rank propaganda.

There, I said it.

🥁

11:04am listener james from westwood:

Hot damn, "Steig Ein" was a fireball.

🥁

11:04am Brian in UK:

Anyone aware of Nils Petter Molvaer?

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Fireballs. Cold wars. I think we've got this thing covered!

@Jeff Golick
Linky no worky.

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Hellooooo, Hugoooo!

11:07am Jeff Golick:

I've heard his album Switch, @Brian, but that's about it. What's good?

11:08am Jeff Golick:

Hmm. Here's that discogs link again: www.discogs.com...

🥁

11:09am Brian in UK:

He is playing this summer with Sly 'n Robbie, Eivind Aarset and Vladislav Delay. Looks like a right melange.

🥁

11:10am Brian in UK:

Doug, you must be OVER the weather then.

11:11am Alex In Illinois:

But how do we know whether you spelled it incorrectly or just the way the title is actually spelled on the album or mp3 info?

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
Hmm. That's deep. I think you should just assume I fucked up and go from there.

11:15am Doug Schulkind:

Since it's approaching lunchtime (here in Pittsburgh), I thought I would play music from Hungary.

11:15am Robert:

Couldn't you just call today's show "Music" & ship it in a plain brown wrapper?

11:16am Dean:

@Brian in UK: Aware, yes. I have two or three records of his, maybe some by others on which he appeared. I bet a gig with Sly & Robbie would hit the sweet spot.

11:18am Dean:

Add Greece and Turkey to the mix, then. My favorite book that was never written about classical history was Bacon's Greece.

11:18am glenn:

mmmm. greek bacon.

🥁

11:19am Brian in UK:

@Dean Think you are right. Better get the plastic out. It is on the day after my birthday, so my treat to me.

11:19am Hugo:

Molvær, yes. Seen him live several times. Before striking out on his own, he was a member of Masqualero, named after a Wayne Shorter tune. Info here:

www.discogs.com...

This was more of a mainstream outfit, with two members from the old Garbarek quartet.

The break as far as Molvær is concerned, came with this one:

www.discogs.com...

It marked a turn to electronica and special effects. He has worked quite a lot with Bill Laswell over the years.

11:19am northguineahills:

Yochk'o Seffer Neffesh Music, new to me, and quite nice!

🥁

11:22am Brian in UK:

Thanks Hugo, thought you might have some knowledge of your countryman.

11:22am Dean:

@Hugo: Yes, that Khmer record is an odd bird. I think my copy came with a second disk of remixes.

🥁

11:25am Brian in UK:

Doug, this is like some rogue string quartet with an itinerant piano lurking.

11:30am Doug Schulkind:

@Robert
None of the rappers I play on this show are plain, got it?!

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Give the Drummer Some will provide warmth and comfort to rogue itinerants everywhere.

11:31am Hugo:

@Dean: Quite so, there was a remix album:

www.discogs.com...

I have to admit I haven't listened to it in ages.

11:32am Dean:

So, no Vanilla Ice?

11:34am Dean:

@Hugo: I don't know that one at all. There is this: http://www.discogs.com/Nils-Petter-Molv%C3%A6r-Khmer-Remixes/master/102119 ...but I seem to recall having this disk included with the original Khmer disk, not as a separate release.

11:35am Doug Schulkind:

@Dean
No, I but I would play Frappuccino Mocha Ice!

🥁

11:36am Brian in UK:

My wife made a delicious Christmas Pudding Ice Cream recently. It sang in my mouth.

11:39am Dean:

Yep: http://wonkette.com/577719/sen-inhofe-if-global-warming-is-real-where-did-i-get-this-snowball

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

What a fucking moron.

11:43am northguineahills:

As another Oklahoman aside, they banned AP History classes b/c the courses didn't celebrate America enough.

11:44am Hugo:

@Dean: You may very well be right. I have the Khmer, but I don't think there was a remix cd attached to it. The one I listed is definitely a separate release.

11:44am Jeff Golick:

You know that line from The Conversation, "He'd kill us if he had the chance"? I think that every time I look at my cat.

Ok, going to bow out a tad early to take a walk, clear my head pre-interview. Thanks so much, Doug, for the great show, and to all drumsomes for the great company.

11:45am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
I like pudding ice cream in my mouth, too.

@Jeff Golick
You don't need to take a walk to clear your head. Just hit control-alt-delete.

11:46am Andrew Waterloo:

Sometimes you can have a lot of fun pointing out that International Panel on Climate Change was never the International Panel on Global Warming.

11:46am d¢ pät:

Thanks for Junior!

11:48am northguineahills:

Good luck Jeff!

🥁

11:48am Brian in UK:

This has been a no bars holed show. Lovin' it, Doug.

11:48am d¢ pät:

Did I ever tell you about my Junior Murvin mix up? WELL, I was down at the beach and saw that Jr. Murvin was playing a couple of towns north. I got some relatives into the car and drove up there to see him. Turns out, it was Junior MARVIN. A bit embarrassing.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

You're mighty welcome, d¢ pät!

🥁

11:50am Brian in UK:

Remember to breathe, Jeff.

11:52am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:53am Dean:

Wow. Legal jargon in the lyrics of a blues tune! "I'm gonna subrogate you, baby, pursuant to the clause."

11:55am Doug Schulkind:

@d¢ pät
Are you sure it wasn't Lee Marvin?

@ndbob
My pleasure

@Dean
Quick, what rhymes with "certiorari"??!!

11:55am Dean:

Ferrari

11:56am Dean:

(Although some pronounce it sur-sho-RARE-ee.)

🥁

11:57am listener james from westwood:

@Doug, @dc pat: Lee Marvin! Now I'm humming along to "Wandering Star" Uncle Michael-style.

🥁

11:57am listener james from westwood:

@Doug: Purty Ferrari.

🥁

11:58am listener james from westwood:

Also, George Kerr's totally boosting the Green Lantern vow in that "shall escape my sight" lyric. Not complaining now....

12:00pm Dean:

Didn't the comments this morning commence with a riff on "hey"?

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

Who's certiorari now?

12:01pm Parq:

The nomenclature is a no-win situation. My guess is that they originally went with "global warming" because it sounded more urgent than "climate change". ("What's the big deal? The climate is always changing.") Of course, calling it "global warming" opened the debate to the simpletons who figure "It's cold, so there's no global warming." Now, any attempt to change the focus to "climate change" invites the response, "Ah hah, so you admit that 'global warming' was wrong all the time", kind of the way saying "progressive" is a tacit admission that being "liberal" is bad.

12:01pm Parq:

Once I met Nino Scalia. I asked him for a breath mint. He said "Cert denied."

12:02pm Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
Hello! Goodbye!

12:02pm Dean:

@Parq: So bad it's good.

12:02pm tr\\sh:

It also helps if the people speaking have more than elementary science from >20 yrs ago.

12:03pm Parq:

Hello and goodbye, Doug and gang. God, you mean I actually have to listen to Bryce this week?

12:03pm ndbob:

lol Parq!

12:04pm Dean:

I think we should call "gravity" something else. It's too somber. How about "fallingdownness"?

12:04pm Gary at the Laundromat:

Thanks Doug! Have a great weekend

🥁

12:05pm listener james from westwood:

Also, "Hurty 'Hatari!'" and "Dirty Atari."

Muchas gracias, Doug!

@Parq, that'd be more than Clarence Thomas has said on the bench since he took the seat.

12:05pm tr\\sh:

But Cell Theory is just a theory!

12:06pm Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
That's a LOT of dirty clothes you got!

🥁

12:07pm bobdc:

Another great show, Doug!

12:08pm Dean:

Great title, btw.

🥁

8:15am Brian in UK:

Just catching up on the archive bits I missed due to dog walking. Agree on Tom B. On the last album the song 'Today is a Bright New Day' despite the title still had the line 'there is no one I can talk to when I have so much to tell'. I'm just a sucker for that kind of sentiment.
