I am your metaphysician, annie!

🥁

9:03am listener james from westwood:

Mornin' Doug and all!! Clicked the WFMU stream when I shoulda been clicking the Drummer one and had just enough of a dose of the Isely Bros' "Footsteps in the Dark" to realize Ice Cube had sampled it for "It Was a Good Day"!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

Be sure to grab a cruller, Lewis. They go early!

9:04am annie:

mornin' ndbob!

9:06am Uncle Michael:

My supermarket makes a good Cruller. Sadly, the staff has no appreciation for what they are, and they ice them, rather than glaze them. It's a crime against humanity.

9:07am Doug Schulkind:

I am tossing rose petals are your ears' feet, Listener James.

🥁

9:08am listener james from westwood:

That is a horrible phone call to have to wait for. Deepest sympathies for what you-all are going through, Doug. This was me just about 3 years ago.

9:08am Uncle Michael:

Ten years for me.

9:09am ndbob:

So sorry Doug - I can relate too - eight for me

9:10am Maggie B.:

Just over 7 years for me. We're all with you, Doug.

9:10am Doug Schulkind:

Thank you, friends. Your comradeship means the world to me.

9:16am annie:

i'm sad to have missed the comment you made doug, and no need to repeat it.. you are <3-ed

9:20am Doug Schulkind:

<3s back atcha

[Though I have to say <3 has always looked to me more like a milk cow on its side.]

9:21am Andrew Waterloo:

ice cream cone.

9:23am Doug Schulkind:

Double scoop, Andrew Waterloo!

9:25am Lewis:

Gotta go find a cruller - all the best for the rest of the show to you all!

9:25am Doug Schulkind:

The king of all guitar tunes by a guy named Guitar — coming up next.

🥁

9:26am βrian:

Sidling in the side door. Best wishes. May your cat conduct a laying-on of paws.

9:27am Alex In Illinois:

Good morning all in the Americas, good afternoon and evening to the rest.

9:27am Doug Schulkind:

Adios, Lewis. Hola, βrian and Alex!

9:28am Mr C:

The things I used to was listen to the Drummer on WFMU. The story now life now is listening on the Drummer stream

🥁

9:28am duke:

nice blues set

9:29am Mr C:

you get the drift.

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

Let's keep drifting together, Mr C.

9:30am chromaphone:

That is a nasty guitar tone if I ever heard one.

🥁

9:30am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug, (from the back row way up high)

Is there a theme here?

9:30am Mr C:

Bobby "Guitar" Bennett from Philadelphia!

9:35am Goyim in the AM:

Morning folks! Afternoon, fellow European residents!

🥁

9:35am Brian in UK:

Doug, missed the opening but judging from the comments there is a cloud over the sun.

9:37am Doug Schulkind:

Hey hey, GitA is here!

And you, too, dear Brian in UK. Yes, I am expecting a tough phone call any time now.

9:39am Doug Schulkind:

It would be nasty of me to miss you, chromaphone!

🥁

9:39am Brian in UK:

Let us enjoy the music and put reality on hold for as long as possible, my friend.

9:41am Doug Schulkind:

It is what I am happiest doing, Brian. But you knew that.

9:42am Goyim in the AM:

Sympathy and best wishes, Doug. The thing about music is it IS reality, and a real comfort when stuff is ugly.

9:43am annie:

we are baby-sitting a hyper young adult dog.. we are in chaos.. and the cat is VERY unhappy.i posted a pic on FB so you can be convinced she hasn't yet been returned to her owner prematurely.. your radio family is here for you doug.

9:45am Doug Schulkind:

@Goyim
I am wallowing in the comfort, full stop.

@annie
My radio family is my family for real.

🥁

9:52am Brian in UK:

@annie we have two kittens who are certified terriorists. They did their training at Camp Cat, a secret destination. Where havoc is trained at an early age. Plates knocked off surfaces, cupboards raided, bodies trampled on in bed in the early hours. Last week being both males my wife took them to have their nuts off. My sympathy levels were low I have to admit.

9:53am redkayak:

Good morning from Ice Station Zebra...

9:54am Ernest Borgnine:

Welcome aboard, redkayak!

9:56am Goyim in the AM:

I am impressed by the match between your username and icon, redkayak. You may call me Burned-out Skoda Double-clutch Transmission, if you wish.

🥁

9:59am Brian in UK:

Antarctica. Penguin Rock.

10:00am Alex In Illinois:

Places where multiple ethnic groups reside, and where people from different regions have migrated to.

10:01am Alex In Illinois:

Cartagena and New Orleans are also both cities where a river empties into a sea

10:01am annie:

i feel your pain, brian. i was was owned by a cluster of 7 cats. and i was greateful during winter months for the extra heat..

10:01am redkayak:

@Goyim Thanks! Someday I'll have a birchbark canoe - and a new name...

10:02am annie:

i see the user insignia have been fixed in preparation for the marathon..

10:07am annie:

it's funny alex, the image that comes to mind when cartegana is mentioned is that movie.. with what's-er-name and that guy; they slide down the mud-hill into a pond..

🥁

10:09am βrian:

We dealt with a pair of terroristas by offering them air time. That is, we had a large laundry pile toward which we would redirect them, with an arcing trajectory, affording them ample air time during which to reflect. They turned out to be supremely sweet and lovely cats.

10:09am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
Interesting theory. Any other cities with similar natural/musical splendors?

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

This is the Osama bin Laden of cats: awesomegifs.com...

10:11am annie:

brian, have you ever seen the earlier "mean kitty" videos?

🥁

10:11am Brian in UK:

Liverpool?

🥁

10:12am Brian in UK:

annie, cannot recall them.

10:12am annie:

i think he's living in alaska now.. one of his cats is sparta, the other is loki

10:13am annie:

my favorite was how to cat-bend

10:13am Goyim in the AM:

My cat, whom I have always thought of as peaceful and extremely mellow, has recently made a relocation-based transition from an out-side-all-day cat to an apartment cat. Every day that I do not spend a solid 45 minutes playing intensely with him is a day my feet will be bitten hard.

🥁

10:14am βrian:

I love that serious, competent expression. As if the cat is doing her best to put things right for you — you who can't seem to do anything for yourself.

10:15am Alex In Illinois:

@annie: When you recall anything more about the movie, let me know, I'd be interested to see it.

I also just learned that there is a Cartagena in Spain too, but I was referring to the one in Colombia which is known for a source of a lot of music recordings.
It turns out that multiple rivers flow into the ocean around Cartagena, Colombia. It's like a peninsula with a bay too. It is quite a location.

10:16am redkayak:

Cats are awesome

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

One of our three cats is a "the second you stop petting me and move slightly away, I will dig my claws deep into your arm as if you never petted me in your life" kind of cat.

10:16am annie:

Goyim, i cat-sit for one whose owner loves me to stay there and play with the cat.. constanlty.. it's what she's used to.. she's gone from a sveldt little girl to a white meatloaf.

10:17am glenn:

that's mr. white loaf to you.

🥁

10:17am Brian in UK:

Our older cat has had his nose put out of joint by this gross intrusion into his domain. The beagle just wants to smell their bums. They have been introduced to the chickens and immediately go into prowling lion mode whilst they just carry on pecking.

10:18am annie:

oh, those are the worst, doug. our cat here loves to be patted, rarely talks, and even lets me rub her belly..she's part maine coon.. a real sweetie

🥁

10:18am βrian:

Airborne Clinic, Doug. Airborne Clinic.
"It's a loving trajectory."

10:19am Doug Schulkind:

Naomi Sagara doing a fine Roy Orbison right there.

10:19am annie:

"Romancing the Stone"!!!!

10:19am ndbob:

@annie a totally unrelated question for you - I have a friend who is applying to study in the US for her junior year - UNC Asheville is on the list - how is that as a school and how is Asheville for a college age person?

10:21am Goyim in the AM:

annie, I don't mind the intense playing much, because my little buddy is both acrobat and comedian when he plays -- it's a highlight of my day!

10:24am Alex In Illinois:

My sister's cat brought a live bat into the house to play with once. This cat catches squirrels and gives them to the dog, while hunting and eating snakes for herself. She is some sort of Russian breed of cat that does not produce dander, but turns out to also be bred for pest control.

🥁

10:25am βrian:

Dear feline, Gus, liked to be bowled. We'd give him two preparatory wind-up swings, and on the third he's start scampering just before he met the hardwood. Whoosh!

10:25am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
That Russian breed cat is like that character from the Pine Barrens episode of the Sopranos.

🥁

10:26am Brian in UK:

@Goyim I have to say their athleticism is astounding.
We have had a pidgeon through the cat flap. It was tough but he made it.

10:27am annie:

is that a russian blue, alex? i had one once, most gorgeous and dander=free

10:28am Goyim in the AM:

One time my buddy brought home a half-dead raven, big as he is. That was pretty intense. Nevermore, I told him.

🥁

10:30am βrian:

Those ravens have good memories. Just saying ...

10:30am Mike East:

not a cat guy here, but I like this music.

🥁

10:30am Brian in UK:

We love hearing DJs pronouncing foreign titles.

Revived 45s.

10:31am Alex In Illinois:

@Annie: Maybe. Ill have to ask my sister. They live in Maryland, and they got this cat since the last time I visited them.

10:31am Goyim in the AM:

The raven became full-dead shortly thereafter.

🥁

10:32am βrian:

Poe is you!

🥁

10:33am Brian in UK:

Hugo should be in on the cat comments.

10:34am Doug Schulkind:

Hello Mike (B)east!

10:35am annie:

ndbob- asheville is quite a dynamic city, overall, though it's being touted as an up-and-coming place to be. if for no other reason she should come here, it would be for the blue ridge and the smokies. as far as i know, the college has a great curriculum and the campus is gorgeous. it IS a current tourist attraction, and "beer city".. she will be spoiled somewhat coming here first, as asheville is quite unique. i'm pretty happy here and the population is diverse, although my more-militant of friends say ther's not enough. the food is fabulous, anything a diner would want. almost all types of food and food trucks everywhere. apartment life is interesting.. all earth-lovers, straight-necked, new-age, international...if she wants a connection to housing it's simple..

10:35am Doug Schulkind:

Hugo has a cat that wandered away from home, down to the seaside where it stepped onto a fishing boat that went out to sea. I forget exactly how the cat made it back home, but make it back home she did!

10:37am ndbob:

thanks Annie!

10:38am Doug Schulkind:

And Asheville has a fine local radio station Asheville Free Media. Listen for the fantastic show Tenor to Tabla on Wednesday evenings: www.ashevillefm.org

10:38am Jeff Golick:

Hi there, beautiful.

10:39am annie:

oh, yeah, bob, the music scene is deliciously diverse as well..

🥁

10:39am βrian:

I though WXYC was Asheville, but noooo. Chapel Hill.

10:41am annie:

the cool thing, doug, you may know this, though, is that ashevill FM is not analog!!you can get it on your radio dial!

10:41am annie:

*now*.... not not

10:45am Doug Schulkind:

Here is a Norwegian newspaper article about Hugo's cat. You may not read Norwegian, but the picture of the cat (Apricozy), speaks a 1000 words: www.bt.no...

10:45am annie:

Bob: this is a link to our "indy" rag, the mountain express.. not as hard-hitting as it used to be. mountainx.com

10:45am Jeff Golick:

1. Sorry about your family woes, Doug. Peaceful wishes to all.
2. I'll have a milk & Pepsi, please.
3. Our cat is a straight-up asshole. Random clawings just for walking too close to her. Random poo drops in hallways and pee on dropped towels. Scritching sessions that turn quickly violent. Whenever we bring our daughter to the pediatrician, he asks about the scratch marks and eyes us suspiciously.

10:46am Jeff Golick:

Also, I'm currently listening at work with newly broken headphones: one ear is out. It's not pleasant.

10:47am Goyim in the AM:

An orange adventurebeast named Apricot? 10/10, would cuddle.

10:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Wait, are you mixing Pepsi in with the milk? Maybe that's why the cat hates you.

10:47am ndbob:

Thanks so much Annie - I'm messaging her now - she needs to come up with a list of ten schools.

10:49am annie:

...and i'm admin for one of the FB housing pages for asheville

10:50am annie:

if she has any quastions, i'll be happy to answer them, just send her to me on Fb

10:51am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: s.yimg.com...

10:52am Doug Schulkind:

Can...not...un...see..., Jeff Golick.

10:53am Doug Schulkind:

@annie
How do you know if you are having a quastion? Does it hurt?

10:53am Goyim in the AM:

Currently singing "Caffeinated Kitties" in my head to the tune of "Fascinating Rhythm".

10:55am Mr C:

You're rockin' in rhythm so far...

10:55am annie:

... hehe, doug, i question the placement of the E and the A on the keyboard ALL the time. or maybe it's just the elbow placement of the left arm.

🥁

10:55am Brian in UK:

Apogee, was that Hugo's cat?

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

Hugo's cat (the one in question) is called Apricozy.

10:57am Jeff Golick:

I believe the resident cat for this label, AUM Fidelity, was responsible for much of the design work. Her name was Ming.

10:58am Doug Schulkind:

@Jeff Golick
Here is another Ming of note: www.philajazzproject.org...

🥁

10:59am Brian in UK:

annie I am sure that your elbow and antecubital fosse are exactly where they should be.

🥁

11:00am Brian in UK:

Doug is that photograph of the man himself in the article about Apricozy?

🥁

11:06am doctorjazz:

Late arrival, catch up later, Hi all!

11:08am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
No, I think that might be a fellow from the ship who "rescued" Apricozy.

Hey there, doctorjazz!

11:15am Ike:

Sounding good, Doug!

11:16am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Ike!

11:18am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: I would write songs to that Ming, too.

11:19am mauri:

evening!

11:20am Doug Schulkind:

Would you like your cocktail shaken or stirred, mauri!

11:20am annie:

hey mauri

🥁

11:22am Brian in UK:

Hello mauri, been a long day, still sleeting in Finland?

11:24am mauri:

never had a cocktail and I will choose shaken.
jea brian, just got back from groceries and its cool sleet all the way. Looking better for the week ahead; below zero and sun!

11:30am sinner:

Hey Doug: In an odd (but in no way trivializing) way, today's show has been the perfect soundtrack for reading this website: http://www.alabamabigfootsociety.com/ (A No Kill Organization, btw.)

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

From big feet to a big heart, it's my brother the Sinner!

11:33am Uncle Michael:

Top of the hour; come inside:

www.wfmu.org...

11:34am Listener Gregory:

I'm torn between hoping it's noon so I can get lunch and hoping it's not noon so the show won't be over.

🥁

11:35am Artie Haywire:

Stupid morning meetings. In time for the soul set though! (and a little UM afterwards)

11:36am Doug Schulkind:

I got the hongries, too, Listener Gregory!

Artie Yaywire!

11:36am Mike East:

Holy moly, I love this Gloria Edwards.

11:38am Listener Gregory:

Fortunately, this set is giving me something to chew on.

11:38am Doug Schulkind:

Yeah right, Mike East! So great (even though she probably should dump that abusive boyfriend like all her friends are trying to help her realize she ought to).

@Listener Gregory
Just don't gnaw on that blue cable over there. That's making the whole thing go.

11:40am Mike East:

@Doug - is that what it was about? I was trying to figure it out, but I have a hard time hearing lyrics...but the music and the FEELING in her voice was beautiful.

11:40am Goyim in the AM:

For me, this is the soundtrack to translating an abstract for a thesis about comparative dentistry practices in Germany and Sweden. Never let your friends know you're multi-lingual.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

@Mike East
No, I was totally reading between the lines. She gave no evidence in spite of herself that the dude was actually a bad dude.

🥁

11:42am Brian in UK:

Cannot put off walking the dawg. Have a good weekend everyone

@Goyim my Gibberish is fluent.

Doug, thinking of you, brother.

11:43am Doug Schulkind:

Thanks, Brian. Give your dog a tummyrub for me. After the walk.

11:44am Doug Schulkind:

Give the Drummer Some: Comparative Density Practices

11:44am annie:

offering up a virtual hug, doug... i hope your day is calm and know that we have you in our hearts.

11:46am Dean:

Just checking in, and I fear I missed an unfortunate announcement of news affecting Doug's family. Sorry to learn as much. (I was going to write that the news affects Doug's personal life, but then it occurred to me that this Drummer gig is in some respects as personal as it gets.)

11:46am Mike East:

It wouldn't surprise me if that's what it was about...someone yesterday was playing a song by a woman defending her man beating her up. I think it was yesterday...maybe 5ash.

11:46am Goyim in the AM:

Sibilance, Microphone Technique, and Preventative Oral Healthcare in Detroit, Nigeria, and Rio de Janero: A Dento-Musicological Analysis.

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...
Hinky Dinky Time is up next and it will start out strong and then destroy your mind. You have been warned. Playlist here: wfmu.org...

11:47am Doug Schulkind:

Hi Dean,
No bad news as of yet, just that it's coming soon...

🥁

11:49am listener james from westwood:

This episode of GTDS may end soon, Doug, but everyone's good vibes and wishes here for you and your family won't, not by a damn sight.

11:50am Dean:

Now that's a glass-half-full response! Compare my mother, for whom no news merely portends the inevitable bad news.

11:50am Ike:

@Jeff G., have you asked your veterinarian about DRUGS for your cat? Your cat sounds like she needs some Prozac or something. (Yes you can totally give that to cats. I think. Maybe. Probably. I'm almost certain.)

11:52am Goyim in the AM:

Ike's user image showing the effects of said drugs.

11:52am annie:

Rescue Remedy might be better for relaxing an animal; IF you want them relaxed

11:53am Doug Schulkind:

I will take that comment, Listener James, and put in my pocket like one of those smooth stones people keep close to caress in stressful times.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

I can't express to you all how much this regular gathering means to me. Thanks for showing up and jumping on in.

11:56am northguineahills:

Thanks Doug, awesome as per usual.

11:57am Uncle Michael:

Fine show today, Doug. Thank you. My thoughts are with your family.

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

EN GEE AICHE!

11:58am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

🥁

11:58am Artie Haywire:

With you, Doug. Strength to you all.

🥁

11:59am listener james from westwood:

Always happy to hear the show live, and to help the show live. Be well, Drummer.

12:00pm Doug Schulkind:

L'chaim, Listener James and everyone!

12:01pm Goyim in the AM:
