🥁

8:56am duke:

Hola Doug and drummer types

8:58am Doug Schulkind:

duke is #1!

8:58am ndbob:

morning Doug, Duke, everyone!

8:59am annie:

aahlrightythen!

8:59am Doug Schulkind:

Hello, ndbobannie!

9:00am ausmanx:

i guess if presidents can blow, no reason why queens can't? good evening (and i suppose i meant blow literally, but then again...)

9:00am annie:

good friday to you !!

9:01am Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, ausmanx! I eschewed the beach scenery in your honor.

🥁

9:01am doctorjazz:

Hey, missed last week (away for a few days), though I caught up in the archives and dug it (of course). Today looks like a really rockin' day on FMU, great start with Bill Mac, and rest of the day on the stream should be great! Great beginning to the weekend! Hail Drummas!

9:02am Stanley:

Right. Switched streams and I'm strapped in.

🥁

9:02am listener james from westwood:

Good Friday, Doug and all!!

9:03am ausmanx:

very kind, doug... though there hasn't been a cloud in the sky this week, finally... more what we expect here!

9:03am mauri:

violet sax blowin. hats got a fin infront?

9:03am Doug Schulkind:

What's up, doc?!

Good day, Strappedly!

It's always Good Friday when you're here, Reverend LJ Wildwood!

🥁

9:03am listener james from westwood:

Amen and amen!

9:04am Doug Schulkind:

It helps with her aerodynamics, mauri!

9:05am mauri:

keeps her from fallin when blowin the higher notes.

9:06am Mr C:

Chains of love have tied my heart to the Drummer. Good morning Mr Blues!

9:07am Uncle Michael:

Good morning, Morgantown.

9:08am thedunkel:

Good Morning Mr. Drummer and other paraders!

9:09am Doug Schulkind:

I was aiming for your spleen, Mr. C.

Good morning, Wrigleyman!

Hola, thedunkel!

9:12am Doug Schulkind:

It's like it never happened, Mr C. What happened? Nothing!

9:14am Mr C:

Nothing..

9:16am Jean-Paul Sartre:

That's exactly what I was talking about, Mr C.

9:27am holland oats:

drumma! peoples! purple perps!

9:28am ndbob:

Holy Warbles was a great blog

🥁

9:28am Brian in UK:

Hello Doug and fellow listeners. I think therefore I listen. No, I listen therefore I think.

9:29am Doug Schulkind:

Ace: holland oats
Deuce: Brian in UK

9:30am Doug Schulkind:

I like this album art: rymimg.com...

🥁

9:31am Brian in UK:

Pibroch?

9:31am ndbob:

a great CD in total

9:38am annie:

it's so rare i have the chance to hear the "radio" with the volume up... this is such a treat!

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

I give you permission to remove the air quotes around "radio," annie. Radio is an experience, not an object!

9:40am Doug Schulkind:

Oh what a voice this woman has.

9:43am 1ke:

Hmm, "Preston Love's Omaha-Bar-Q" is a conundrum there. How do you display it on a playlist without making it look like flagrant apostrophe abuse? On the record it makes more sense as the artist and album name are together.

9:44am annie:

you are SO right doug, did not mean to minimalize it.

🥁

9:44am Brian in UK:

Doug as an aside, my daughter brought me back from Lisbon a Fado CD. I was delighted with it as the songs were not all doom and gloom but had an uplifting passion.

9:44am Uncle Michael:

Check out Preston Love's family connections...

9:44am Doug Schulkind:

You're funny, 1ke.

9:45am Ramblin' Ray:

Greetings all! If ye like this checkout the movie "Gadjo Dilo" for more wicked Romani music.

🥁

9:45am Brian in UK:

@1ke if you read it straight through it reads like a product endorsement.

9:46am annie:

R-Ray, was that the follow-up to latcho drom? i did see it i think

9:47am ndbob:

great set here for sure

9:48am Doug Schulkind:

Ramblin' Ray brings the Romani knowledge!

9:54am still b/p:

Ahh, good music throughout this set to make an online bridge toll payment by. Duality of internets: Mass. DOT taketh away while Drummer giveth and giveth and spinneth and pleaseth.

9:55am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, still b/p!

9:56am Flash Strap:

good morning give the drummer raaaaaaaaaaaaadioooo

9:57am Flash Strap:

this bed music is reminding me how much I need to get a copy of Olinga

🥁

9:58am Brian in UK:

@Flash Strap. Snap, swear I had this album but it has done gone.

🥁

9:59am listener james from westwood:

I hear radio shows referred to as messes, I think of Bart Plantenga.

10:01am Flash Strap:

@brian: try this one – yadi.sk...

10:02am Flash Strap:

wow Doug this is pretty good

10:02am Doug Schulkind:

@Flash Strap!
Olinga is, not surprisingly, the best track on Olinga.

Just traded emails with Mr. Plantenga the other day, Listener James.

10:03am Doug Schulkind:

Love hearing the word "plebeian" in song. Just love it.

🥁

10:03am doctorjazz:

Olinga (and the MJQ) were my gateway drugs to jazz way back when...

10:03am Uncle Michael:

Love this Streisand arrangement...but not her vocal.

🥁

10:04am Brian in UK:

@Flash thanks old bean. Will try later. Cat is walking over the keyboard and house invaded by chickens recently. Not the six feet tall ones luckily.

🥁

10:05am Artie Haywire:

Aaaannnnddd, now I'm worried about Crimea again.

🥁

10:06am listener james from westwood:

Ahh, good to hear Bart's in a communicatin' way.

10:06am still b/p:

I wonder what was in Dinah's mind and on her face off-camera there in the TV studio while Barbra was a'beltin' and shoutin'.

🥁

10:07am listener james from westwood:

@Brian in UK: At least with chicken invasions, you might get eggs!

10:07am Doug Schulkind:

I edited off the beginning of that clip Dinah introducing Babs. She was quite complimentary.

🥁

10:08am βrian:

Quelle coïncidence ! I was dreaming in French last night.

🥁

10:09am βrian:

And it's Colette !

10:11am Doug Schulkind:

I would love to hear Colette Magny sing about Donald Trump. It would sound like something from The Exorcist.

10:11am mauri:

six chicken feet long = one cluck.

10:13am Doug Schulkind:

You coop to conquer, mauri.

10:13am ausmanx:

ah, ewa is a goddess...

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Come what May...

10:16am Doug Schulkind:

Gisela May

10:17am ausmanx:

and i'm very much looking forward to you pronouncing the name of her song and album

10:18am Doug Schulkind:

You are a cruel dude, ausmanx.

10:23am Doug Schulkind:

A little love
That slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you

A sunny day
With hopes up to the skies
Not a day that comes and dies
That's all I want from you

Don't let me down
Oh show me that you care
Remember when you give
You also get your share

Don't let me down
I have no time to wait
Tomorrow might not come
When dreamers dream too late

A little love
That slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you

A sunny day
With hopes up to the skies
Not a day that comes and dies
That's all I want from you

Don't let me down
Oh show me that you care
Remember when you give
You also get your share

Don't let me down
I have no time to wait
Tomorrow might not come
When dreamers dream too late

A little love
That slowly grows and grows
Not one that comes and goes
That's all I want from you

10:26am Doug Schulkind:

"Survival is not my thing." — Nina Simone (1977)

10:27am Jesse k:

Morning Doug + drummers!

10:27am annie:

(love)

10:28am Doug Schulkind:

OK, Jesse k!

10:28am Flash Strap:

jesus this is electric

10:29am Webhamster Henry:

Imagine following Nina Simone on a variety bill!

10:30am Stanley:

Man, that was moving

10:30am Doug Schulkind:

This performance occurred too soon after Ms. Simone's suicide attempt. Her friends begged her not to do the show (if I remember correctly).

10:36am Little Danny:

G'morning all

10:37am Jeff Golick:

Hi. I was told I could get jiggy with it here?

10:39am Doug Schulkind:

@Webhamster Henry
I once followed Tiny Tim on a variety bill. (Not kidding.)

G'morning, L'Danny!

Hello, Jiggy Golick!

🥁

10:39am Brian in UK:

There is an amazing run in the Womens 10000 metres.

10:43am Doug Schulkind:

Amazing how, Brian in UK? Amazingly close finish? Amazing dominance by one runner? Please elucidate.

10:45am still b/p:

What did you do on the stage TT had just left?

10:49am Jeff Golick:

By the way, @Doug, at last night's FMU Literary meet-up, I was hailed as "Doug" by one (possibly drunk) attendee, so henceforth I am Doug. You can just leave the keys by the door on your way out.

10:51am Doug Schulkind:

Now you know the burden I've borne, Jeff. I mean, Doug.

10:52am Dean:

From out here in left field, enjoy this news report about a beast that lives for centuries: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-37047168 Favorite passage: "[I]f invertebrates are brought into the longevity competition, a 507-year-old clam called Ming holds the title of most aged animal."

🥁

10:55am Brian in UK:

A run from the front by the Ethiopian runner, Almaz Ayana, she broke the World Record by thirteen seconds that stood for over twenty years. Phenomenal.

10:56am Jeff "Doug" Golick:

It's not easy being Doug.

10:56am Doug Schulkind:

@Brian in UK
Ah! That's why "Almaz Ayana" is trending on Twitter.

@Dean
What would it take to get Ming trending on Twitter?

10:57am Dean:

#Mignonette?

10:58am Dean:

Works for oysters.

🥁

10:58am doctorjazz:

www.discogs.com...

Not familiar with Position Alpha, but liking the track, not much around these days in the WSQ/horns with no rhythm (at least that I've heard about).

11:00am Mr C:

I saw a show in Boston with BB King, Nina Simone and Sun Ra.Those 3..In that order. Pre "Thrill is Gone BB.

11:00am Doug Schulkind:

Sheldon Adelson open's Clam's Casino in Macau. Claims it traces back to the Ming Dynasty.

11:03am Dean:

Good one.

How come Adelson isn't mentioned in the BBC article? He must be, what, going on 300?

11:06am Doug Schulkind:

Position Alpha have another fantastic LP called "The Great Sound of Sound."

11:08am Jeff Golick:

@drj: agreed about Position Alpha. Previously only read about.

11:09am Little Danny:

Loved that Koglmann, Doug. Every name in that last set was wholly unfamiliar to me

11:10am Dean:

PROOFREDAER NEEDED

11:11am Jeff Golick:

Walking toward the subway last night after the reading, I passed a chalkboard sign outside a restaurant that read: "Live jaaz."

🥁

11:12am βrian:

Just because: "de" in "de Lyon" has the same vowel sound as "book" in English.

11:13am Doug Schulkind:

@βrian
Hard for me to stuff my Spanish-first pronunciations in my back pocket.

11:14am Doug Schulkind:

Postiions Available. Seriously. Six months.

11:16am Jeff Golick:

Fiveash suggested it was perhaps Swedish jaaz, a al Saab.

11:17am Ike:

I'm editing something that says "Avoid simply copying friends at the gym! No Fluff or Bro Science!" Bro science?!

11:19am Doug Schulkind:

Another Saab story, eh Jeff Golick?

11:20am Jeff Golick:

@ike: They probably mean this: eremite.com...

🥁

11:20am βrian:

Yep, and the title is a little ambiguous language-wise.

11:20am still b/p:

Jaaz by Jaap Blonk.

11:21am annie:

true story:
as we were driving into kingston our car passed the foreign-car dealership and my younger brother said, "i bet they have a lot of crying people there." and we had to ask why he said that. "Because of all the Saabs," he replied

11:22am Jeff Golick:

@Doug: It's sad, but I'm hoping we can all evolvo past it. #sorry

🥁

11:23am βrian:

Did he make a Volvo joke, as well?

11:23am annie:

at 12, we thought that was good enough

🥁

11:24am doctorjazz:

So Swede!

11:24am mauri:

www.youtube.com...

🥁

11:24am βrian:

(Where's common, BTW?)

🥁

11:24am doctorjazz:

So Swede!

11:26am Doug Schulkind:

OK, the Kewpie Doll© goes to the first to use Karmann Ghia in a joke.

11:28am annie:

is that a take-home test doug?

11:29am Jeff Golick:

I would, Doug, but I'm not much of a Karmann. Ghia guy a break.

Ok, I'll see myself out.

🥁

11:30am doctorjazz:

Getting lots of good Karmann in here, Ghia whiz!

11:31am Doug Schulkind:

You both get a B for effort, boys.

🥁

11:31am βrian:

Major Lance Boyle?

11:32am Mr C:

Sharpees!! You're burnin' Doug!!!

11:32am still b/p:

I guess we can't rim-shot it and claim Karmann Ghia IS the joke!
"American industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague included the Karmann Ghia in his list of the world's most beautifully designed products."

11:33am annie:

see i thought it was result of long efforts of the McRae family to produce the best and purest butter, and the daughter won.

11:33am Doug Schulkind:

These Sharpees have a funky thick tip, none of that "fine tip" shit!!

11:33am Jeff Golick:

Today's gif goes well with this set.

🥁

11:34am βrian:

They're making an indelible impression, that's for sure.

11:34am Uncle Michael:

Please join me at the top of the hour.

wfmu.org...

11:34am Doug Schulkind:

Way to redeem yourself after that Lance Boyle quip, βrian.

11:35am ndbob:

Indeed Brian:)

11:36am annie:

i see my side-handed pun fell flat

🥁

11:37am βrian:

And the bathroom mirror was a mess!

11:37am Doug Schulkind:

No response to a pun is a RAVE, annie. Only a groan is higher praise.

11:37am Little Danny:

Was there a vocal version of "Do the Pearl"? It sounds so familiar.

11:40am Doug Schulkind:

Not that I'm aware of, Little Danny. I snagged that track from the Numero comp "Eccentric Soul - The Nickel & Penny Labels." It's the only track by The Matta Baby.

🥁

11:41am duke:

Awful lot of commands in this set. Do this, do that.

11:41am Doug Schulkind:

It's honeydew season, duke.

🥁

11:42am βrian:

Doug does the imperative.

11:42am Doug Schulkind:

GIVE THE DRUMMER RADIO PROGRAMMING ALERT...

Do this, do that: Hinky Dinky Time commands that you tune in and dance your arses off to the fine music. Uncle Michael is up next: wfmu.org...

11:42am Lore:

I hope "Do the Do" will be included in this set.

11:43am Jeff Golick:

I love any song that begins with party-like chatter among the musicians and assorted hangers-on.

11:45am annie:

i sure hope soupy gets a nod

11:45am Uncle Michael:

Deckard was a skin job.

11:46am Doug Schulkind:

Greetings, Lore! You were the subject of admiring conversation in the comments on Flash Strap's show last night.

🥁

11:47am βrian:

Are we going to do the mashed potatoes?

11:48am Doug Schulkind:

This next Freddie Hughes track is for Mr C and all Philadelphiites.

11:49am Doug Schulkind:

Wait just a minute! The Philly started in Frisco? That makes no damn sense!

🥁

11:49am doctorjazz:

Do the Philly is making me smile
Fun show, see you next week!

11:50am Doug Schulkind:

Do you like the way I "operate," doctorjazz?

🥁

11:51am doctorjazz:

Smooth operation Dougmeister!

11:52am Doug Schulkind:

Was this track inspired by Dean Smith's specialty slow-down offense?!

🥁

11:54am βrian:

In Frisco it was "the Filly." Then culturally co-opted by the East Coast elite.

11:56am Doug Schulkind:

In New Orelans, it was the Philé!

🥁

11:56am Brian in UK:

Thanks, Boss.

🥁

11:56am βrian:

Dew the Morning Glory.

11:56am still b/p:

That doesn't mean Frisco is without...fault.

11:56am Alex In Illinois:

I have been listening the whole time, but been way too busy to comment

11:56am ndbob:

excellent show Doug!

11:56am Stanley:

Great show, Doug.
Many thanks.

11:56am Uncle Michael:

Hunkerin' down now...thanks for the show, Doug.

11:57am jessie:

I hope Luna is up there!

11:57am Doug Schulkind:

Uncle Michael, next: wfmu.org...

Jason Elbogen's debut show (at 3pm): wfmu.org...

11:58am Doug Schulkind:

Luna is DOING the dog funk all over the carpet. (No she's not. She's a good girl.)

12:00pm Jeff Golick:

Thanks, "Doug!"

🥁

12:00pm duke:

How did it get to be noon already? Great show Doug

🥁

12:00pm βrian:

I guess I'll just mash my own potatoes then.

🥁

12:01pm listener james from westwood:

Aww, Luna! Give her a big post-show hug for me, unless it's 2000% humidity out there, too, in which case go with a boop on the nose. Thanks for the fine program!!

12:01pm Doug Schulkind:

You were with me from the very beginning, duke.

@βrian
Hope your potatoes are gravy, I mean groovy.
